Looking at the sugar gourd, Ah Ci was a little surprised, took the sugar gourd, took a bite, sweet, even happier, and had long forgotten Fang Cai's unhappiness: "It's so sweet, I like to eat sugar gourd the most, thank you." ”

Shen Jin saw that Ah Ci was eating so happily, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

What he didn't tell Ah Ci was that he didn't buy this sugar gourd to apologize, he bought it specifically.

On the second day after returning to Beijing, Shen's father went to visit his friends with gifts and invited a few former colleagues to drink together.

Shen's mother also called Shen Jin over early in the morning, and said to her: "If you are free, take your sister out for a walk, or invite the teenagers you know to our house and introduce them to your sister, your sister is also fifteen years old this year, if you don't think more about your sister, what will she do in the future?" Our family was already jealous of the emperor, and if your sister allowed others, she would not have to be affected by us. As he spoke, he couldn't help wiping his tears with a handkerchief.

Shen Jin said yes again and again.

"I know, why don't you go to the next post to invite someone, can your brother-in-law deliver it to the door like this?" Mother Shen said.

Shen Jin hurriedly retreated, and hurriedly sent people to write posts to invite people, and he didn't dare to be idle for a moment.

For Shen's mother, he has been afraid since he was a child, and he is strict with him, once he makes a mistake, he often asks Shen's father to beat him, if it weren't for Shen Nanyan's intercession, I'm afraid he wouldn't be alive now.

"Yan Yan, this morning I will ask your brother to invite people to the next post, and when the time comes, you will tell your mother, and your mother will let your brother arrange it." After Shen Mu'er finished ordering Shen Jin, she came to Nanyuan in person and gave a detailed explanation.

"Mother, I don't want to get married."

Looking at her daughter's indifferent attitude towards this, Shen's mother couldn't help but sigh and took Shen Nanyan's hand: "Yanyan, you heard my mother say that you will be sixteen in the summer, not too young, if your family affairs are not settled earlier, when your father and mother are gone, what should you do, although your brother grew up with the emperor, he has not been trembling for so many years." ”

Rao is Shen Nanyan is temperament is cold, and when he heard Shen's mother's words, he still responded: "Mother, you and your father don't have to worry, I'll go." ”

Shen's mother was overjoyed: "When your brother holds a banquet in the front hall, you will take a closer look behind the tent to see if there is anything you like." ”

On the day of the banquet, Shen's mother was afraid that she would regret it, so she woke her up early in the morning, freshened up, and went to the front hall together.

"Brother Shen, why did you think of inviting us to drink today?" It was a gorgeously dressed boy who spoke, and his gestures were indescribably extravagant.

"This is the Guanshan wine that my father brought back from the border pass, it is mellow and fragrant, it is a century-old wine, so please come and try it." After several years as a civil official, Shen Jin has long learned the ability to see people and talk about people, and when he sees someone asking, lies come easily.

After hearing this, a young man in yellow took a sip of novelty and praised it: "Brother Shen really didn't coax us, this wine is mellow and fragrant, it is really the best." ”

"This son is not ashamed, what is the name of a big man, brother, this dress is too vulgar, like a peacock." Mother Shen watched from behind the tent, a little depressed.

Shen Nanyan secretly pulled Shen's mother down and whispered next to her: "Mother, be quiet, after all, this is the person invited by my brother." ”

Not to mention that Shen's mother is depressed, even Shen Jin's heart is difficult to accept, he is a big man being called by a big man's brother to come and go, which is already extremely uncomfortable, and he has to endure his friend all day long in front of him every day, either wearing yellow clothes or wearing tender yellow, and the accessories on his clothes are also rattling.

"That's it, that's it, my mother won't say it." Shen's mother calmed down, "It's just Yanyan, don't take a fancy to that son, otherwise your mother will worry about you every day." ”

"Brother Cheng, you can't ruin our Brother Shen's reputation for nothing! In the future, no woman will dare to marry our brother Shen. A man in blue reminded the man in yellow that he was a little older and looked steady and mature by joking.

"Yan Yan, how is that son? is a stable and mature person, if you marry him in the future, it will be easy for husband and wife to get along. Mother Shen quietly pulled Shen Nanyan and asked her opinion.

"Mother......" Shen Nanyan gently tugged at Shen's mother's sleeve.

However, after a cup of tea, most of the people were already drunk, and there were no parents by their side, so they did not have to behave as properly as usual, and they spoke boldly: "What do you say is a monarch? Should the monarch check and balance his powers, be well versed in the art of the emperor, and achieve a collection of power, or should he let the power flow into the court, so as to stabilize the society and the stability of the country? ”

The man who spoke was dressed in indigo, and his gestures showed the style of a literati and a writer.

"If you talk about centralization, the monarch can be tyrannical, can be clear, divide power, although the society is stable, but it will leave the disadvantages of the dictatorship of the courtiers in the future."

"Then should the emperor centralize or decentralize power today?"

Everyone was still drunk, and the Gangchang etiquette had long been forgotten, and they boldly expressed their opinions.

"It's not okay to go on like this, our family has been jealous of the emperor, and now it's your brother's post, and now they are talking about the government in vain, and there is another storm in the emperor's ears." Shen's mother, who was originally here as her son-in-law, couldn't help but worry when she heard this.

"Mother, don't worry, it's inconvenient for us to go out now, I'll let Ah Ci go in and remind my brother later." Shen Nanyan comforted unhurriedly.

"It's still goose and goose smart." Shen's mother was relieved: "You are here, I will go outside and tell Ah Ci." ”

Without waiting for Shen Nanyan to answer, Shen's mother quietly walked out of the back door of the front hall, Shen Nanyan was suddenly a little overwhelmed, hesitated for a moment, and finally prepared to leave.

A gentle voice came into her ears, warm like a breeze, and gradually made her heart ripple.

"Heaven is constant, not for Yao to die, not for death. Why should we argue about this? The emperor has his own decision. ”

If he was attracted by the man's voice just now, then now he was amazed by this view, Shen Nanyan was a little stunned, turned around, and looked up at the man, the man was dressed in a crescent white brocade robe, and his posture was thin and straight, like a Zhilan jade tree, light and wind, indescribably elegant, poetic and picturesque. The face is handsome, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, warm as jade.

Although everyone was drunk, but they were not drunk, when they heard the man's reminder, they slowly regained their senses, recalled Fang Cai's words, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and discussed in vain what it means to be a king, isn't it a delusion to replace it? That's a big crime.

Thinking of this, their legs were a little weak, and they always felt that there were the emperor's spies everywhere.

The corners of Shen Nanyan's mouth were slightly raised, and her cold face finally showed a hint of vitality, but her eyes were still cold when she smiled. When she was about to withdraw her gaze, the man in white also looked at her as if he was aware of it.

The two gazes intertwined in the air, one cold, the other gentle, and the man's eyes were clean and clear, as if with a luster.

After a few seconds, the man withdrew his gaze and sat back on his seat as usual.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Shen Nanyan's cold face, and he didn't stay long and left the front hall.

…………

"Sister, did you see someone you like just now, tell my brother, and my brother will help you match." After the banquet was over, Shen Jin pulled Shen Nanyan and asked about the result with a smile.

"No, I didn't." The voice was a little cold.

"Hey." Shen Jin sighed a little, "Sister, you're not right, my mother and I have set up this banquet for you, just for you to choose." ”

Seeing that Shen Nanyan didn't pay attention to himself, Shen Jin said to himself again: "Sister, you also know the situation of our family, my father holds military power, and he is jealous of the emperor, if my father and mother and I are gone, what can you do alone?" Only when you get married, can you have a ......... to take care of"

Shen Nanyan was a little overwhelmed, she was cold and arrogant since she was a child, and she was indifferent to everything, knowing that Shen Jin was really good for her, and she couldn't bear to live up to her kindness, so she just sighed.

"Brother, who is that white-clothed boy just now?"

"White?" Shen Jin was a little curious: "Is there anyone in white?" ”

"The one who last stopped you from talking about the monarch." Shen Nanyan reminded loudly.

"Could it be him?" Shen Jin was a little difficult to accept: "Didn't you fall in love with him, let me tell you, it's good if you like anyone, but don't like him." ”

"Brother......

"His name is Mu Zhao, he is the son of Hubu Shangshu, although he treats people gently, but you must not have more contact with him, do you know?" Shen Jin still said the identity of the man in white.

"Brother, most of the people you invited are your friends."

Shen Nanyan didn't say much when he clicked.

"Although we are friends, I also want to think about your happiness." Shen Jin didn't have half of the shame of saying bad things about his friends here: "I have played with him, and the current emperor, the three of us have played since childhood, and the relationship is naturally better than that of others, and it is because of the good relationship with him that I know his character, and you are not suitable for him." ”

"Miss, Madame asked me to tell you, there is a night banquet in the palace the day after tomorrow, let you prepare." When Ah Ci came in with hot water in the evening, he casually mentioned it.

"I'm not going."

Shen Nanyan wiped his face with a handkerchief, tied all his hair with a headband, and left only a few broken hairs floating around his ears.

"Miss, I heard my mother say that within the palace walls, red bricks and green tiles, sandalwood as beams, crystal jade as lamps, pearls as curtains, and Fan Jin as pillar bases, prosperous and extravagant, let's go in and have a look." Ah Ziyang begged.

"I'll let my brother take you into the palace." Shen Nanyan replied with a smile, taking off his coat and hanging it on the shelf.

"Miss, if the young master accompanies me at that time, what if the young master bullies me? Miss, don't you have to let the young master go with me? Seeing that it was soft, Ah Ci played the emotional card.

Shen Nanyan smiled and held Ah Ci's hand: "You can put a hundred hearts, my brother is measured, although he looks unreliable, but he is not bad." ”

"Miss......"
