Chapter Forty-Six: The Princess

Yun Shu no longer said stupid words, but sat quietly, distracted, until the sentence, "What are you sitting there for?" "Jumping into her ears, the sound was so familiar, she jumped up with a thrill." Father? Turning to stare at the black coffin, "Is that you?" Father! ”

Huan Li, who was distracted under the porch, was startled by the voice, and listened to the screams of Yun Shu in the house, so she didn't care about speaking, got up with her hands and feet, and rushed in. "Miss, what's wrong? What's wrong? ”

Yun Shu's eyes widened, with an eager and excited look on her face, she grabbed Huan Li's arm and said, "Huan Li, Huan Li, did you hear that?" Just now, I seemed to hear my father speak. ”

"Huh?" Huanli was frightened, "Miss, don't you think about the master in your heart, did you hear it wrong?" ”

Yun Shu desperately wanted Huanli to believe in herself: "How come? The sound was so close and so clear, how could I hear it wrong? ”

Huanli looked out of the door, and was embarrassed: "Miss, it's Mr. Yan, what Mr. Yan said just now." ”

Yun Shu turned her head and saw Yan Shizhen standing at the door, instantly quieted down, silently let go of Huan Li, turned her head to wipe away the tears on her face, and said, "Father-in-law, you are here." ”

Although Yan Shizhen read the book carefully, he still kept a mind and paid attention to Yun Shu's actions. Yun Shu walked out lightly, he knew. It's just that after a long time, I didn't see Yun Shu enter the study again, so I couldn't help but come out to take a look. Ziyun said that she went to the front yard to explain the matter, Yan Shizhen walked along the verandah and also walked to the front yard, but saw Huan Li under the porch, sitting with her knees folded with a lonely face. So there was the phrase, "What are you sitting there for?" ”

Yun Shu was thinking about her father, and for a moment she had an illusion that the voice was Yun Jintong.

Yan Shizhen squatted down, hugged Yun Shu into his arms, patted her back, and said softly: "My father-in-law has always been there." ”

Yun Shu smiled reluctantly, "I only found out today that my father-in-law's voice is very similar to my father's. ”

"It's so late, still sitting on the ground, is it cold?"

"Huh? Not cold. Yun Shu was confused at this moment, forgetting the concept of cold and not cold.

"Shall we go back to the study?"

"Hmm."

Yan Shizhen let go of her and wanted to get up and take her hand. Yun Shu said in a low voice, "Father-in-law, take me to the study, okay?" ”

Yan Shizhen was stunned. Yun Shu had never asked him to be coquettish like a little daughter. Looking at her petite face again, her eyes that used to be bright and dazzling are now full of deep loss, and they are even more pitiful. Yan Shizhen couldn't bear it. Even if she is talented and intelligent, her mind grows rapidly under repeated blows, and she tries to pretend to be strong, so that everyone can rest assured of her, and she works hard to manage this big family's business, but she is only a 9-year-old child after all! She needs a support, not just a support to take care of her every day, but a support that can let her lean on her body and be coquettish, and can warm her young heart.

"Okay!" Yan Shizhen took her back into his arms, got up, and walked out the door. Yun Shu hugged his neck, tilted her head on his shoulder, and gently closed her eyes, giving her heart a moment of rest. Huanli followed quietly.

The three of them turned the corner of the house and met Gui Zhi, who had brought people to the front yard to hold the lamp. Yan Shizhen nodded lightly at her and walked over, and Huanli also nodded at her lightly and walked over without saying a word. These three quiet people made Guizhi's heart inexplicably heavy.

Yun Shu drank a cup of hot tea on the couch, and her expression gradually returned to normal, just looking at the tea leaves in the cup and getting distracted.

Yan Shizhen said: "Tomorrow is the second day of the second month of February, the Youth Festival. ”

Yun Shu raised her head, remembered the magnolia that had just budded in the front yard, and said: "At this time, the south may be a good time to step into spring, and the capital is located in the north, and it is still very cold in the morning and evening, where is there a green will to tread?" ”

"Although there is not enough spring outside, the amusement in the city is more lively, more like rekindling the Lantern Festival."

"Well, the excitement is someone else's, and I still have to stay quiet in the house."

Yan Shizhen said: "How about we go out tomorrow and light the lantern in Baoxiang Temple for your father and mother?" ”

Yun Shu thought for a moment, "It's okay." ”

"But, you," Yan Shizhen said by touching his beard, "you have to change your clothes." ”

Yun Shu looked down at herself in a heavy filial piety robe, "Naturally, it has to be changed." ”

Yan Shizhen said thoughtfully: "I mean, it's better to change into men's clothes." ”

"Why?" Yun Shu didn't know why.

Yan Shizhen said with a smile: "Although Mei'er is young, her eyebrows and eyes are too good, so it is more convenient to change into men's clothes." ”

"But, father-in-law, I don't have men's clothes, what should I do?" In an instant, Yun Shu had already thought about it in her mind. Although the father-in-law is also reasonable, but for a while, how can there be suitable men's clothes for her?

When she encounters a problem, the first thing she does is to think of a solution to the problem, instead of being in a hurry, when she goes through all the available factors in her mind and still can't solve it, she asks others for help. When did this state of affairs begin? Yun Shu couldn't remember. By the time she realized it, she had already begun to do so.

As an adult, Yan Shizhen looks at the problem much more than Yun Shu, and jumps out of Yun Shu to solve the problem from himself, but wants to make full use of external objects. He thought for a moment and said, "Well, didn't that stinky boy Li Ge live here for a long time?" Come to think of it, there should be clothes in his bedroom. ”

Yun Shu was a little embarrassed, and she was a little rude to the guests like this. "Brother Li is not here, let's go to Brother Li's bedroom to rummage through clothes, okay?"

"Who said we were going?" Yan Shizhen laughed, turned his head to Huanli and said, "Huanli, this important task is handed over to you, remember to pick a beautiful one!" ”

Seeing Yun Shu's expression becoming lively, Huan Li was also happy, "Okay! Saying that, Huanli was about to run out, but was stopped by Yan Shizhen, "Wait, wait, after finding the clothes, go and tell your mother by the way, let her make a few sets of men's clothes for your young lady, spring clothes, summer clothes, all of them." ”

Huanli wondered, "What do you do with making so many men's clothes?" ”

Yan Shizhen patiently explained to her this time: "Your young lady has a lot of things to do in the future, and the time to show up will inevitably increase, and it is more convenient to wear men's clothes when you go out." At the same time, this is also for Yun Shu, hoping that she herself will be mentally prepared for the future road.

"Oh, I'll go." Huanli also agrees with this reason, after all, her own young lady is well-born, and it is better to be careful when she goes out.

"Huan Li, don't rummage around in Brother Li's bedroom! When the clothing is found, everything else that has been moved is returned to its original place. ”

"I know, don't worry, Miss." Huan Li assured.

Not to mention, I really found a suitable set for Huan Li, which is a set of moon white semi-spring clothes. Yun Shu put it on and tried it on, the size was also the same, and after thinking about it, yes. The first time Li Ge went to the study, the white-robed young man in the willow shadow door frame was dressed in fluttering clothes. I didn't expect this outfit to be worn by myself one day.

Yun Shu, who turned out of the screen, made Yan Shizhen's eyes light up. Originally, it was a pink carved jade, Yuxue cute female doll, these days she has lost some weight, her cheeks are slightly thin, her eyes are long, her eyes are long, and she is indifferent and cold.

"What does my father-in-law think?" Yun Shu spun around.

Yan Shizhen looked up and down, and nodded incessantly, "Very good!" Very good! It's better than Li Ge's kid! It's just this hairstyle. ”

"Huanli doesn't wear men's hair, and neither do I." Yun Shu shook the hosta and hairband in her hand and frowned. Huanli also became more and more thoughtful, and when she took the clothes, she took Li Ge's hairband with her hand.

"Come, sit down, my father-in-law will help you tie it up." Yan Shizhen settled Yun Shu on the stool, stretched out his hand towards Huanli and said, "Where's the comb?" ”

Huanli handed over the comb she had brought with her.

Yun Shu only felt that the bun was gently loosened, straightened, and gently brought to the top of her head, and every time she combed down, she was so careful, lest it hurt her. After a while, the black hair that was raised up was tied into a bun with a headband and tied with a headband. Yan Shizhen also deliberately left two strands of hair between his ears, which were somewhat similar to Li Weihan's hairstyle during the day, but the hairband hanging down at the back of his head made Yun Shu's whole body more chic and elegant.

Yun Shu stood up, and like Li Ge, Shi Shiran saluted Yan Shizhen. is a gentle and handsome young man, his eyebrows and eyes are flowing, and it makes people forget the vulgar!

Seeing Huan Li's eyes are going to be straight. "Wow, Mr. Yan is so amazing, I feel like my young lady has been reborn and has become a beautiful son!"

Yan Shizhen also bent the corners of his lips, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

On the second day, Yun Shu and Yan Shizhen went out very early. Breakfast is not used at home; Yun Shu, who was dressed in men's clothes, simply didn't take the carriage. In the clear morning light, Yun Shu took Yan Shizhen's hand and prepared to make a detour to Donghua Gate and go to Baoxiang Temple.

On both sides of the street, there are tea houses, liquor stores, and shops, and the shops that sell breakfast have long since opened their shops. The two of them kept going all the way to the alum building in Jingmingfang.

"Now that you've come here, do you want Mei'er to go upstairs and have a look?"

"Is there anything new here?"

"The alum building is the most famous of the many high-rise buildings in the capital, which is a tall complex building with five three-story buildings, and is also used for business purposes, especially the west building, standing by the window, and the scenery inside is faintly visible. Why don't we take a break, have breakfast, and then go? ”

Yun Shu thought for a while, "It's okay! ”

Since the founding of the Zhao State, it has experienced more than 200 years of wind and rain baptism, and now the capital looks like a treasure of heaven and earth, a prosperous scene, but in fact, the north has been lost for more than ten years, and tens of thousands of people have become people who have lost the country, and are ruled by the golden iron horse of the real country. Emperor Tiancheng reigned for 12 years, and he swallowed this breath, which not only made the northerners sad, but also chilled the hearts of people with lofty ideals in the world.

When Yun Shu and Yan Shizhen were looking at the prosperity of Da Nei and the continuous grandeur of the buildings in the city from the alum tower, on the top of a beautiful green mountain thousands of miles away from the capital, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old little Taoist priest, standing with a thin and thin body, stood in silence for a long time, and let the wind on the top of the mountain tear his robe to the sound of hunting.

Later, a forty or fifty-year-old white-clothed Taoist also walked over and stood with him looking north, his eyes deep and seemed to be filled with deep pain and helplessness.

I only heard him chant: "Liuhua is amorous and refuses to be new, and it is pitiful to lose Han Jiachun." I didn't know how to pick new vegetables for two years, and who knew that there would be a killing. The group of thieves is more than a traveler to the south, and it is difficult to ask the people who return from the north. I knew that the day before yesterday, a bottle of wine, God was peaceful and pro-Er. ”
