"Sister?" Shen Jin shook his hand in front of her.

"Ah...... What happened to my brother? Shen Nanyan came back to her senses and asked blankly, a little dazed on her delicate face.

Although Shen Jin was lively and jumpy, he was not stupid, he was obviously fine before eating, as if he was stunned after listening to his words.

He didn't say anything, just said that Mu Zhao left Beijing. Mu Zhao? It can't be because of him, right?

Shen Jin stared at Shen Nanyan thoughtfully, did not answer her words, and casually said something to change the subject.

Shen's mother didn't say anything on the side, although she was a little stricter with Shen Jin on weekdays, but she was also very relieved of him, so she didn't care much about what he said.

After dinner, Shen Nanyan didn't go back to the courtyard directly, but broke aside Ah Ci and walked a few laps along the carp pond in Shen Mansion.

When she heard the news of Mu Zhao's departure from Beijing, she felt empty in her heart, he was such a gentle person, she always thought that they had been exchanging letters for so long, and there was always some sympathy for each other, but he did not tell her about his departure from Beijing.

It would have been nice if he had just sent someone to tell her, but he hadn't, and she was a little disappointed.

The crucian carp pond is lit up, and the crucian carp swim briskly in the pond, as if they don't know the suffering of the world.

Although it was summer and summer, the weather at night was not good, and a cold wind blew in her face, causing people to tremble, and she couldn't help but shrug her shoulders.

"It's more dewy, and my mother is going to nag me again when I freeze, remember to wear one more next time I come out." Shen Jin put a coat on her from behind and complained.

Although her tone was complaining, Shen Nanyan felt a warmth in her heart, and she hummed.

The brother and sister were speechless for a while, Shen Nanyan has always been quiet and it is normal not to speak, but it is a little strange for Shen Jin not to speak.

Shen Nanyan knew that Shen Jin had something to say to her, but she was not in a hurry to urge him, and her eyes fell on the crucian carp frolicking in the pool.

After a long time, a voice sounded beside him: "Are you interested in Mu Zhao?" ”

This is not a question, but a declarative sentence.

"It's not." Shen Nanyan blurted out without a trace of hesitation.

Shen Jin chuckled, and he didn't know what kind of expression he had on his face: "Sister, even if you denied it before, it was indifferent. ”

Shen Nanyan didn't speak, waiting for the following.

"Now, you're still light-hearted."

Shen Jin pointed to the end, he knew that Shen Nanyan had already understood, it turned out that she was indifferent to everything, even if she was misunderstood, and tonight's abnormality let her know that he had something to ask her tonight, but she still calmly denied it tonight, without the slightest hesitation, this is the reason.

It turns out that being smart is mistaken for being smart, she prides herself on being smart and clear, and she sees through the world, but she is confused in the matter of Mu Zhao alone.

"Brother, you won." Shen Nanyan spoke softly, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Although he already knew the answer, it was another thing to hear Shen Nanyan admit it in person, and Shen Jin was angry: "It was Mu Zhao's kid who seduced you, I'll go and abolish him." ”

"Brother, it's just that I like him unilaterally, what does it have to do with him?" In addition to being cold, she is also a little introverted, so she can't help but be surprised when she says her thoughts directly.

Not only her, but Shen Jin was even more surprised, it was because he knew this sister too well that he knew that she was never the kind of person who would easily say what she liked. But Mu Zhao became her exception again and again, so he became more and more angry: "It's best if I don't like you, you should break this mind as soon as possible." “

Shen Jin has always been gentle and gentle to her, no matter what she does, Shen Jin has never intervened, but today made her break Mu Zhao's mind, and for the first time in history, interfered with her decision.

"Brother, as his friend and brother, have you ever known him? Have you ever explored his heart? Do you know his loneliness? Shen Nanyan looked at Shen Jin with a wry smile and asked.

"No matter how lonely he is, you shouldn't comfort him." Shen Jin, as always, insisted on his own opinion.

"Brother......

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and Shen Jin regretted a little: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that it's good to like anyone, don't like him?" I knew you would like him, so I kept him away from you and didn't let you meet her. ”

"Daliang has a vast territory and a large population, do you know why I like him in the vast sea of people?"

Shen Jin didn't answer, and he didn't want to know this question.

"It's a good time to cherish the scenery, not to climb. I only feel that my soul is gone. When the southern goose returned, it was even more lonely. Her cold voice slowly read out the poem: "Brother, this is my answer, he and I are the same kind of people, there is a scar in my heart that can never be erased, I can only wrap myself in a shell, even if I am destined to be lonely all my life in this life, only to be with him, even if it is just to talk about poetry and songs, I am happy." ”

She finally said what was buried in her heart, her liking for him has nothing to do with Fengyue, just for sincerity.

Shen Jin listened to Shen Nanyan's words, was silent for a long time, changed the appearance of jumping out of the past, his expression was rare and solemn, no matter how small the injury was, even if it healed, it would form a scar, which was deeply engraved on his heart, and he would be hurt by this injury for the rest of his life.

His younger sister, with stunning looks and a prominent family background, should have a happy life, and should have grown up happily since she was a child, but because of a disaster that should not have suffered her, she could only live with pain for the rest of her life.

He thought that she had forgotten about it a long time ago, but he didn't expect that the person she forgot was just them, he and his father and mother had tried their best to be good to her since they were young, and never mentioned that incident, wanting her to forget, but how could the pain imprinted in the bone marrow be so easily forgotten.

It turns out that after all this time, she still hurts.

The conversation ended in Shen Jin's silence, the night was like ink, and Shen Jin's back disappeared into the darkness.

And tonight's palace, the night is still sultry.

Song Heng was lying on the bed, his eyes were hazy, and his eyes seemed to be closed.

The room is surrounded by the long, lingering sound of the guzheng. The sound of the guzheng is clear, like a plucked bamboo string, rippling in the water, and the string sound is clear and clean, which makes people feel intoxicated.

The woman who plays the guzheng has sparse eyebrows and eyes, and her face is beautiful, although she is not a stunning beauty, but she is also better than the beauty.

The woman's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and when she looked at Song Heng, she found that he had already fallen asleep with his eyes closed.

"Your Majesty?" She spoke softly.

"Keep playing, when your hands are tired, go to the east side of the palace to rest" He thought of something at once, "You go and ask Zheng Fuhai to find a room for you, he does things properly and knows what to do." ”

The woman was afraid of disturbing Song Heng, so she said softly: "Just go back to the palace after the concubine plays, and save yourself the trouble with Gonggong Zheng." ”

"It's dark on the road, it's not safe to go back, just rest here, and accompany me to finish dinner tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

After the woman finished playing a tune, she found that Song Heng had already fallen asleep.

She stopped, pressed her fingers, and moved her muscles.

"Concubine Lan, the slave will take you to the elegant room in the west hall to rest." Zheng Fuhai came in from outside and said softly.

Concubine Lan, the daughter of a five-grade official, is the emperor's favorite concubine, gentle and considerate, with a person-like appearance, and the prime minister's daughter Concubine Yu is equally favored.

"There is Lao Zheng's father-in-law." Concubine Lan nodded, got up to cover Song Heng with a thin quilt, and walked out of the dormitory.

On the way, Concubine Lan made a special trip to ask: "Can the east hall be inhabited?" ”

Song Heng was going to place her in the east hall at first, but she didn't let her live when she thought of something, so she stayed at that time.

Zheng Fuhai thought for a moment and said, "Miss Shen stayed in the palace on the day she stayed in the warm pavilion of the east side hall. ”

Concubine Lan bowed her head and didn't say anything.

Miss Shen Nanyan of the Shen family has seen her, on the day of the palace banquet, she was already dressed up with light makeup and plain clothes, but it was still difficult to hide her stunning appearance, and her cold and dusty temperament was even different from these warblers and Yanyan in the world. Illustrious family background, stunning appearance, it seems that it is an enviable thing to put in everyone.

But she clearly noticed that the Shen family's young lady's expression was cold, and she didn't have the arrogance of the young lady of the family at all, nor did she rely on her beauty to look at the dust.

Her mind has always been delicate, Song Heng's actions today made her faintly smell a trace of cattiness, who would still remember that the house where the young lady of the Shen family lived was not allowed to set foot when she was sleepy-eyed, if it wasn't deep love, what was it?

She should envy her, but she can't envy her, that Miss Shen may not be happy in life. If the soul is happy, the appearance will never be so indifferent, some people, the outside seems to be glamorous, but there is a wound in the heart, which is difficult to heal.

So, is she still envious, not envious.

"Miss, it's not early, let's rest." Ah Zi said.

Shen Nanyan leaned on the desk, holding a wooden box in his hand, and stared at the box with lowered eyes.

"You go down to sleep first, I want to sit for a while. Let's put out a few lights when you go out. Shen Nanyan spoke slowly.

Shen Nanyan has always had an idea, and others can't easily influence her thoughts and decisions, Ah Ci nodded, and only said: "More deeply, don't stay up too long, so as not to be infected with the cold." ”

Shen Nanyan nodded, and waited until Ah Ci went out and closed the door, and the room suddenly became quiet.

Only a few lone lamps emitted a faint glow, making the room even more silent.

She has always liked cold rather than hot, quiet rather than noisy, and spends much more time alone than many people together.

But at this moment, the cold wind outside the house was blowing and refused to stop, and the wind was cold, as if it was going to rain soon, and she felt lonely for the first time in her life.

Shen's father and Shen's mother cared for her very much, pampered her, and thought about her everywhere, she returned to Beijing from the border, Shen Jin bought lotus cakes for her, and invited friends to come to Shen's mansion for her.

They were very good to her, so good that she was ashamed that she was not very close to them in the long run, she was lonely between heaven and earth in this life, without care, and her feelings were weak, and she wanted to be alone, but he appeared, he made her feel the meaning of existence, and felt that her cold heart was still beating to this day.
