Tsz Yun Nunnery is located on the Tsz Yun Peak in western Beijing, hence the name.

It's just that this mountain peak is neither high nor steep, neither spring peach and autumn maple, nor summer lotus and winter plum, it is really not very good to have a good view, and it is not as good as other temples and nunnery that can take the vegetarian fast, so this incense is not abundant.

However, the Ciyun Nunnery presided over the Hui Ming Master Tai Buddhism is profound, and the disciples in the nunnery are all self-disciplined and penance, and the place is extremely pure, which has won the reputation of the scholars in Beijing, and it can be regarded as some offerings.

The ashes of Mrs. Yang Miao have always been stored here, so every time there is a ritual, they go here to do it.

Because there were few pilgrims, and it was not a day when believers gathered on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Yang family successfully chartered the venue, and the daughters of the Yang family lived in Ciyun Nunnery on the first two days.

Yang Shen should have gone to Zhang Luo in advance, but the precepts of the nunnery were extremely strict, and male guests were never allowed to stay overnight, and it took an hour to run a horse from Beijing, which was really a delay in kung fu.

Fortunately, not far from the Zhuangzi in the west of the Shen family, Shen Rui had already inquired about the rules of Ciyun Nunnery, so he invited Yang Shen to live in the village together.

Brother Shou came to Shen Mansion Shen Rui would not hide it from Yang Tinghe, and his eldest brother Yang Shen also knew, but when the two of them talked at night in Zhuangshang, they talked more about the imperial examination articles.

Shen Rui mentioned the topic of treasury inputs, but Yang Shen was not very interested, and he was cold after chatting for a few words, and it was better for him to like the poems, so Shen Rui didn't mention it anymore.

This eldest brother is going to be the champion of literature in the future, Shen Rui is really afraid that he will lead him crookedly, to pay attention to the people's livelihood and economy, and no longer pay attention to the sage article, this butterfly's small wings will fan a famous talent in history books.

Seeing that he was not interested, Shen Rui was inexplicably relieved.

It's just that I can't help but think about it, at this time, there are few people who are interested in economic affairs, and it seems that it is difficult to find a helper at present.

Unexpectedly, I remembered Shen Linglai, who had done Dharma not long ago, and couldn't help but sigh, if Second Brother Ling was still there...... I'm afraid it's much stronger than Uncle Lian.

This also reminded him that when he was looking for someone who was good at business among the clansmen to come to Beijing to help him, there were always some things that he was not good at doing by himself, and the status of the servant was too low to suppress the situation.

Speaking of which, when the second uncle Shen Zhou was in Nanjing at that time, he also found clansmen Shen Yu and Shen Chen in the clan to help take care of the affairs, just like Shen Ling and Shen Lin at the beginning.

But later, when Shen Zhou lost his official position and resigned, Jingzhong was at a critical juncture to deal with the He family, Shen Rui couldn't think about what happened to the clansmen who followed Shen Zhou, and Shen Zhou never mentioned it after returning to Beijing.

Shen Yu's father and son, Shen Chen's father and son were all recommended by Shen Qi, and their character and ability are naturally no problem, especially when Shen Yu's father and son escorted Shen Rui to Beijing, Shen Rui is also very familiar with them.

Now the only concern is that Shen Zhou was a fourth-grade official after all, and finding someone to help him is also called "bringing the clansmen", and the clansmen are afraid that they will not be grateful to Dade, and it is also decent to tell the fourth-grade officials to help them.

And now there are three masters and a seven-grade official in the second room, and it is not very decent to give a seven-grade official to help, and it is difficult to say whether the clansmen are willing to come to Beijing to attach.

What's more, it's not to listen to the words of the seven-rank official, but to listen to the words of his own little showman. The tribesmen are coming, and whether they are willing to submit to their own dispatch is also a problem.

Write back and ask, Shen Rui is also a little helpless, so he has to come up with some generous conditions, such as "children can study in Jingzhong Academy" and other preferential treatment that Songjiang can't match.

*

On February 26, before the light of day, Yang Shen and Shen Rui left for Ciyun Nunnery early.

No matter how incense is not prosperous, Ciyun Nunnery will always receive twenty or thirty Dharma ceremonies a year, and the procedures are already proficient, and there is no need for the Yang family to worry about anything, and the master who has his own support comes to guide him step by step.

Yang Shen, Yang Tian and several younger siblings all have ceremonies to leave, although Shen Rui is half a son, he is not married in the end, he is only asked to offer incense and candles to the fruit, so he has to withdraw, but he just followed Yang Tinghe to entertain guests in the outer courtyard.

The Yang family's rituals today are not invited to outsiders, but there are still some relatives and friends who have come to the past.

And since the little emperor ascended the throne, the lords of the Zhan Mansion have risen to the top, and there is no shortage of gifts that they want to come up to, let alone do such a solemn thing, since the beginning, there has been an endless stream of visitors.

At noon, six vegetarian meals were opened and the guests were invited to eat.

It wasn't until the next day that the guests left one by one.

Shen Rui followed Yang Tinghe for most of the day, smiling and smiling, his face was a little stiff with a smile, and in the past half a day, he has received a lot of attention - but not just because he is Yang Tinghe's son-in-law.

However, he said that the cabinet would discuss the banquet again after the year, and I wonder if the bigwigs want to avoid being led astray by the internal officials by letting the little emperor have more contact with the Japanese officials.

This time, Brother Shou did not refuse, so they expanded the team of Japanese lecturers as they wished, but they also picked a lot of people who were kind to them.

Yang Tinghe is certainly on the list, and Mao Chi's father Mao Cheng was also selected.

Others didn't know that in fact, Brother Shou chose Shen Rui's brother-in-law's father for Shen Rui's sake, but the two sons and daughters of the Shen family have become close ministers of the Son of Heaven, so they can't help but be extra polite to Shen Rui.

First the sacrifice, then the hospitality, Yang Tinghe was also a little tired, there were no guests, he went to the outer courtyard room to rest, Yang Shen had to arrange follow-up matters, and Shen Rui followed the servant to the back hall guest room to meet the Yu family.

*

In the guest room in the back hall, Yu and the others had just sent off the visiting female guests, and when they went back to the house to sit down and drink a cup of tea and have some snacks, a servant woman came to report that the second son of Shen had come to greet his wife.

Yu Shi smiled and glanced at Yang Tian, whose face was instantly stained with red clouds, and said with a smile: "In the morning, I was so busy that I only saw one face, and I didn't talk well. It's hard for him to have a heart, so he came over to talk about it. I haven't seen my in-laws for a long time, and I wanted to ask her how she is doing. ”

As he spoke, Yu's eyes glanced at the concubine Jiang on the side.

That Aunt Jiang hung her head, as if she hadn't heard Yu speak, her eyes stared at the ground, as if flowers had bloomed in the cracks of the blue bricks, and she had no intention of retreating at all.

Yu's heart was angry, and he didn't show it on his face, but said lightly: "The second sister is also tired for a day, Aunt Jiang, you can take the second sister to settle down." ”

Yang Yue, the second girl of Yang, is one and a half years younger than Yang Tian, and she is already a cardamom girl, with her appearance following Aunt Jiang, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, and her color is excellent. Hearing her grandmother speak, she didn't respond, and only looked at her aunt.

Aunt Jiang slowed down, then raised her head, half-sideways her face, glanced at Yu, pulled out a smile, and said, "Mrs. Xie is considerate." ”

She is over thirty years old, and because of proper maintenance, she still looks like she is in her twenties, and her voice is even softer and more beautiful, like a girl, as if she has unconsciously brought a coquettish feeling.

The lord is not here, who will listen to this fox with his voice? Yu's heart was slandered, and he became more and more impatient, only lowered his eyelids, said "go", and stopped paying attention to their mother and daughter.

The second sister got up and saluted Yu's, but she didn't even say a word of thanks, and Aunt Jiang's etiquette was even more perfunctory, and she made a slight gesture of salutation, and took her daughter out.

The maids and servants around the Yu family all glared angrily in Aunt Jiang's direction, but the Yu family only snorted contemptuously.

Recently, Aunt Jiang has been doing things badly, and Yu is quite relieved, so she doesn't bother to care about her rudeness, originally, she has not been really respectful.

said that Aunt Jiang's many troubles should be in the affairs of her children.

Let's talk about the second sister first, this is the end of the year, there are thirteen, the first two years should have been to look at each other's relatives, only at that time the Yu family had only entered the door not long ago, and was fighting with Aunt Jiang because of the housekeeping power, where would Aunt Jiang's daughter take care of family affairs.

The daughter was born beautifully, and Aunt Jiang was very angry, and she refused to let her daughter go to Gaomen to be a concubine and daughter-in-law, and she refused to live a poor life with a low-level official eunuch, so the marriage was delayed.

After ascending the throne today, Aunt Jiang felt that it was a good thing that she had not decided before, Yang Ting and this subordinate official of the East Palace were hot, and her daughter could also find a better family.

The aunts in Beijing also have their own social circles, but Aunt Jiang inquired about the second son of the Imperial Shilu of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, who is one year older than the second sister, and has not yet decided on a marriage.

Thirteen are married, fourteen are ready to marry, fifteen and Lu just got married, Aunt Jiang is very good.

It's a pity that as soon as she made peace with Yang Ting, she was reprimanded by Yang Tinghe - she didn't know that this Lord Lu was originally Liu Gelao's hardcore.

Yang Tinghe was quite annoyed that Aunt Jiang was not responsible, if his concubine inquired about the news that he wanted to marry Liu Ge Lao's people was spread outside, I don't know what the little emperor thought, and what Li Ge Lao, as Yang Shen's teacher, thought!

And no matter how good the second sister is, she is also a concubine, if she wants to marry low, it is naturally not difficult to be the main room of the sister-in-law, but if you want to say that the sister-in-law of the Lu family who has been with the eunuch for generations, it is not a joke, if the Lu family feels that the Yang family looks down on people and is annoyed, and it doesn't mean that there are any ugly words, does the Yang family still have a reputation?

It was impossible for Yang Tinghe to talk about these things carefully with a concubine, so he only reprimanded her harshly, and finally sent Aunt Jiang away with the sentence "Erniang's family affairs have their own wives to look at".

Aunt Jiang was already angry when she was trained, and as soon as these words came out, Aunt Jiang was angry - she has been in power in the inner house for many years, and she has long stopped treating herself as a concubine, so how can she stand this sentence!

When Wang Yan's mother and daughter entered Beijing a few years ago, Yang Shen's family affairs were approaching, and Yu publicly said many times that the eldest daughter-in-law would take her to take her to take the housekeeper with her, saying that "sooner or later, this family will be handed over to the two of them."

This is Yu's true words, not to mention that she doesn't have a child at this time, even if she has children in the future, the age difference is too much, and it is impossible to take any family property from her eldest brother, but if she has a good relationship with her eldest brother, she can still receive some protection in the future.

And Aunt Jiang's Erlang Yang Dian is half a year older than Sister Tian, and Yang Shen is not much older than Yang Shen, and he will soon have to take a fame test, so whether it is family property or help in his career in the future, I am afraid that he will have to compete with Yang Shen.

At the same time, if the Yu family and Yang Shen's daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law manage the house together in the future, there is no reason to let an aunt and concubine get involved, and the last trace of power in Aunt Jiang's hands that can dig oil and water will be taken back, so she is not in a hurry.

Somehow, she came up with a stupid trick, wanting to use Erlang's marriage to climb a powerful in-law, so as to elevate her status as a mother and son.

Thinking that Wang Yan's father died, her mother's family would not have much help, if her daughter-in-law's mother's family was powerful, this family would not be able to tell who it would fall into.

Aunt Jiang learned the lesson of the last time, and didn't dare to directly mention which adult's daughter she fell in love with, but she turned to Yang Tinghe and said that Erlang was not too young, and it was time to see each other.

Yang Tinghe only said: "Erlang is only fifteen, what is the hurry, and now he is not even a showman, how can he propose marriage?" At least there must be a fame to talk about it. ”

Aunt Jiang is in a hurry, even if she is very confident in her son, and thinks that he can smoothly become a lifter and even a jinshi, but the township test is also in the next autumn, and then she will start to discuss marriage, and the fastest time to get married will be three years later, by then Wang Yan has already gained a foothold at home, how can her daughter-in-law still be in charge of the house?

What's more, the little lady she fancied was already twelve, and if she waited for another year, she was afraid that she would be ordered by someone else's family.

She was in a hurry, and couldn't help revealing that she was the eldest daughter of the Hanlin Bachelor Zhang family, and I heard that she was generous and often helped the sick Mrs. Zhang to run the house, and she was very capable.

Yang Tinghe re-examined Aunt Jiang, in the past, he only thought that she was gentle and considerate and charming, and when his wife was sick, she took care of the housekeeping in a good manner, and never caused him trouble. But now, how can it become so stupid!!

Last time she wanted her concubine to marry her sister-in-law, he clicked on her, pay attention to her identity, and didn't want to be outrageous this time, and wanted to use her concubine to marry her daughter-in-law.

Bachelor Zhang is an emperor, and he has a good relationship with him, but this person is the most lonely and high-minded, and he has no eyes, and he wants to use a concubine who is not a showman to marry the eldest daughter of someone else's palm, and he Yang Tinghe doesn't have such a big face!

If this matter is brought up, the friendship between the two families will end here.

Yang Tinghe didn't have the heart to enter the cabinet one day, but with his current qualifications, he was far from qualified, he was slowly gathering the hearts of the old people in the East Palace, and accumulating contacts and prestige for himself, how could he allow a stupid woman to do bad things at this time.

Yang Tinghe didn't even bother to reprimand this time, and directly grounded Aunt Jiang, and said that if she went around to inquire about the bad reputation of the Yang family for the marriage of Erlang's second sister, she would not have to be grounded, and she would go directly to Zhuangzi to "retire", and she would not have to come back.

If it weren't for the Miao family this time, Aunt Jiang wouldn't have been able to go out.

"Remember your part." Yang Tinghe warned Aunt Jiang before going out.

Aunt Jiang responded very respectfully, but her gaze at Yu was poisonous.

She was also born as a good concubine, and she has three sons and one daughter, why can't she straighten out after her wife dies!

This Yu family talks about appearance and scheming, where can she compare to her, why is she luckier?

Therefore, she became more and more yang and yin, and always wanted to save Yu's face.

In the yard, Aunt Jiang was pulling her daughter and saying to her, "Go back to the wing room to burn your feet, it's too cold today, don't hurt your body by the cold" Yunyun, and met Shen Rui coming in.

Aunt Jiang paused, and glanced at Shen Rui coolly, although she didn't hate Yang Tian as much as she did with the Yu family, she couldn't like it, so naturally she didn't even like Shen Rui.

Originally, the eldest girl found the son of Shangshu, she was envious and jealous, how could such a good thing not fall on the second sister.

Later, as soon as Shang Shu died, the Shen family immediately declined, and she gloated for a long time.

It's a pity that the Shen family has always been wealthy, and the gifts for the New Year are extremely rich, and she secretly cursed, how could she not let the Shen family be poor, and let that little hoof marry into a family with no money and no power to suffer.

When she met Shen Rui here, Aunt Jiang breathed out of her nostrils, snorted softly, lifted her eyelids, and looked like an elder, just waiting for Shen Rui to come forward and salute - she was a concubine, and she was also the concubine of the elders, and she consciously accepted Shen Rui's courtesy.

Shen Rui's impression of Aunt Jiang is also very bad, Yang Tian has lost his mother since he was a child, this concubine is in charge, and he can think of what kind of heart-stopping life his little fiancée has lived with his toes.

Seeing Aunt Jiang standing there inexplicably, Shen Rui was still a little puzzled, but where did he have the leisure to guess the concubine's room.

However, the servant woman who led the way greeted Aunt Jiang, and when she saw Aunt Jiang's expression, she couldn't help but stop and look at Shen Rui, not daring to move.

And the mother-in-law beside Aunt Jiang also stared at Shen Rui after giving him a salute.

Shen Rui was slightly stunned, and after a slight change of thought, he sneered in his heart, it seems that Lord Yue's inner curtain is really a problem, a concubine, with such a big heart, who is he going to do with it? Joke.

Who is impatient to pay attention to such a person, and it is not his son-in-law's duty to educate the old father-in-law's concubine, he swept his eyes, and saw the second sister Yang Yue, who did not stop at his feet, and walked straight past her mother and daughter, and only said: "The second sister of the Yang family does not need to be polite." ”

The second sister didn't like Yang Tian and Shen Rui either, and now Shen Rui is still a "foreign man", she hid behind her adoptive mother to avoid it, and if she didn't come out to see the courtesy, it wasn't rude.

After listening to Shen Rui's words, the second sister was stunned for a moment, and then a pair of apricot eyes immediately stood up, glaring at Shen Rui angrily.

Shen Rui was already a few steps away, and the servant woman who led the way hurriedly chased after him.

The second sister couldn't help but puff up, spat in a low voice, and secretly scolded her for being rude, where is the reason to force the little lady to salute the foreign man.

When he turned his head, he saw that his aunt's face was even more pale, and her eyes almost burst into flames.

The adoptive mother was still afraid of things, and whispered: "The girl's hands are cold, look, let's go back to the house." ”

Aunt Jiang glared angrily at Shen Rui and picked the curtain into the main room, then she snorted fiercely, walked back to the side room quickly, and then scolded in a low voice: "Now it's just a broken house, what kind of son is pretending!" ”

Thinking about the rumors in Beijing about Shen Zhou's dismissal a few years ago, he added a sentence to his daughter, saying: "There is such an uncle, he will not be a good cake, and there is no official in the family, in the future, the eldest lady, some of the hardships will be suffered, hum ......"

The second sister pursed her lips, didn't pick up the stubble, and shouted to her mother to scoop water to burn her feet, today's ceremony is not short, and she is already extremely lacking.

*

The atmosphere in the upper room is very harmonious.

Yu asked Shen Rui how he was doing at home and other gossip, Shen Rui was not the slightest impatient, he answered with a smile, and talked about one or two interesting things in the recent days, which made the whole room laugh.

Yang Tian couldn't help but hide his mouth, and his eyes were smiling crookedly.

Although Shen Rui was talking to Yu, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Yang Tian who was sitting on the side, paying attention to her smile, seeing that she was happy, his heart suddenly became happy.

The Yu family naturally saw that although it was cold in winter, it was not appropriate to let them talk in the wind outside the house, but it was even more inappropriate to find a room with them in the nunnery.

After thinking about it, she smiled and said: "The charcoal fire in the house is too heavy, and the eldest girl is afraid that she can't stand it, so she should go outside to breathe, loose and loose." Brother Rui, her brother is busy in front, so I bother you to take care of her. ”

Shen Rui smiled, got up to receive the order, and went to look at Yang Tian again.

Yang Tian's little face was already red, he got up and thanked Yu, and helped his adoptive mother out of the upper room, and Shen Rui followed behind.

The two walked to a row of pines and cypresses in the backyard and stood down, although the maids followed, they were particularly slow by more than ten steps, which not only kept them in sight, but also left room for them to talk.

The butterflies on the silver hairpins in Yang Tian's hair trembled slightly as she walked, as if they were about to fly, lifelike, but they were carefully picked by Shen Rui and given to her by Xu's hands.

There was a new cluster of bamboo sachets hanging on the jade belt around Shen Rui's waist, which was sewn by Yang Tian himself, and was sandwiched in a New Year's gift and sent to the Shen Mansion.

Both of them looked at each other in a circle, and they couldn't help but smile at each other, and there was a sweetness flowing in their hearts.

Shen Rui had already noticed the bruises on Yang Tian's eyes, which became more and more obvious because of the sacrifice, and he was afraid that he had not rested well because he was thinking about his mother who died early last night.

"Sister, don't think too much, it's important to take care of your body," Shen Rui's voice became softer and softer, "Mother-in-law is also looking forward to my sister's health and well-being." ”

When Yang Tian heard the mention of his deceased mother, his eyes were slightly red, and he hurriedly covered it with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice: "Second brother, don't worry...... I saved it. ”

"It's cold, the big Buddha hall is empty, I'm afraid that the charcoal basin is useless, I'm afraid that I'm going to suffer from the cold, so ask someone to boil ginger soup and drink it at night."

Yang Tian couldn't help laughing when he heard this, the handkerchief that wiped his eyes fell down to cover his mouth again, his heart was sweet and warm, and he said in a low voice: "The second brother told me not to worry, but the second brother also worried about it." Second brother, don't worry, I will take care of myself. It's the second brother, who has been welcoming guests outside, I'm afraid it's cold. ”

When Shen Rui originally corresponded with Yang Shen, he liked to bring a few strokes to Yang Tian.

After returning in September, due to the case of the widow, Shen Rui did not go out much, and the correspondence with the Yang family became more complicated, so he would always write a text message to Yang Tian alone in addition to reporting the news to his father-in-law and eldest brother.

is not sealed, and the text is also mediocre, just say a few words like chatter, and it is not too much to talk about.

With the acquiescence of his father and brother, Yang Tian will also reply to him with some words.

It was the acquiescence of the family, the two met very few times, and they could say even less, but they gradually became familiar with it through this letter, and now they meet again, fading away from the initial embarrassment, and they can chat freely.

Yang Tian was originally cheerful, since the new emperor ascended the throne, the status of the Yang family has risen, and there are more exchanges between officials and relatives, Yang Tian often follows the Yu family to banquets everywhere, and Zhang Luo has entertained two female dependents at home, and the Yu family has also handed over more housekeeping matters to her, after some experience, Yang Tian has been much more capable than before, and he is also a lot more talkative.

As she spoke, she handed the small gilded handstove in her hand forward.

The slender hands are extraordinarily white against the backdrop of the golden hollow hand stove, and there is no dancôme on the neatly trimmed nails, but it reveals a slight tender pink, which makes it more and more lovely.

Shen Rui couldn't take his eyes off for a while, and stretched out his hand to pick up the hand stove, but somehow he held the jade hand.

No matter how generous Yang Tian was, he was also taken aback, and he lost his hand stove, and hurriedly took a step back and retracted his hand.

Shen Rui only felt that the little hand in his palm was soft and slippery, and he knew that it was abrupt, but he was reluctant to let go.

Yang Tian's face was already anxious, and he wanted to push him with his other hand, but he was afraid that the adoptive maid behind him would find out, so he was even more embarrassed, so he stomped his feet, and his tone was full of anger, and he shouted in a low voice: "Let go." ”

Her face was already flushed, with annoyance between her eyebrows, but she was more active than usual, Shen Rui couldn't help but upturn the corners of her mouth, pulled her to turn her body slightly, and covered the hands held by the two of them tightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, it's okay, they can't see it." ”

In fact, the adoptive mother over there has been paying attention to the two of them, and seeing that the situation is not quite right, she is already about to come forward hard, but she was glared at by the big girl Banxia, and the big girl Mai Dong directly reached out and pulled her shirt.

The adoptive mother hesitated for a moment, but finally held back, sighed, and glared at the two little girls.

Banxia Mai Dong glanced at each other, stuck out their tongues and puffed out their cheeks and made a grimace, it is a great thing for my uncle to be close to the girl, who is so blind to annoy people.

Under the tree over there, Shen Rui already felt a thin layer of sweat on his palm, a little cold, and couldn't help but chuckle: "I'm warmer than your hand, so let's cover it with you." ”

Yang Tian only felt that his palms were burning, and his hands were burning, and he didn't twitch his hands for a long time, his face was red and hot, and he didn't look back at the maid's mother.

There has been no movement behind him, so I want to come...... They avoided it. Yang Tian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, glared at Shen Rui fiercely, and didn't turn his head to ignore him.

Thinking that he wanted to touch her face at the beginning, he came to take her hand again at this time, and couldn't help but cry secretly. But thinking about the carefully selected clothes and jewelry he sent, and thinking of his homely sentences, my heart is strange, and I am no longer annoyed.

Shen Rui saw that she was angry, so he had to divert her attention and said solemnly: "I happen to have something to ask for my sister and I also know that the emperor will return the weaving factory that was occupied by the He family to the Shen family......

Yang Tian was really attracted to attention, and looked at Shen Rui with a pair of black pearl-like eyes, waiting for the following.

Shen Rui was embarrassed, but he was still reluctant to let go of his little hand, and unconsciously rubbed it twice, which caused her to frown again, and then said: "The emperor attaches great importance to this weaving factory. ”

As he spoke, he unconsciously lowered his voice, "I don't hide it from my sister, the emperor mentioned that he wanted to list Songjiang cotton cloth as a tribute." I see that my sister is good at embroidery, and I want to bother my sister to refer to the new cloth style this year, and I don't have to work carefully, but I just have a few strokes in my spare time. ”

"Also, in the past few days, Zhang Hui, the second son of the British Mansion, has also talked to me about this Songjiang Gongbu signal, his father-in-law's Wujingbo Mansion has many cloth estates, and he wants to partner with the Shen family weaving factory to buy and sell ......"

Yang Tian was shocked when he heard that Gongbu, and when he heard Wu Jingbo's mansion, he suddenly let out a soft "ah".

Seeing Shen Rui's surprised face, she hurriedly said: "I just wanted to tell you, but I called you ......" Her face turned red again, and she stomped her feet again, and said angrily: "I told you to go over." ”

Shen Rui suddenly felt that she was so vivid and more lovely than her who sat quietly like a porcelain doll, and couldn't help but have a little teasing her, but she was afraid of annoying her, and today, in the end, it was her mother-in-law's law, so it was also rude, so she only silently grabbed Yang Tian's little hand.

Yang Tian glared at him with disgust and said, "Speak in a good place, if you do this again, I will leave." ”

Shen Rui lowered his head and smiled, "Obey." But he still refused to let go.

Yang Tian bit his lip before he said: "On the third day of the third month of March, the eldest princess of Chun'an is going to hold a Qushui Liuyu banquet on the Spring Festival, and I and my eldest brother have posted. ”

Shen Ruiyi raised his eyebrows, he was in filial piety, he was not allowed to feast and drink, and he would not send letters to him at banquets everywhere, but he had never heard of this matter, and Yang Shen had never mentioned it yesterday - but with Yang Shen's character, most of them had long forgotten about it.

There are quite a few happy princesses in the clan, such as the eldest princess of Yongkang, who often sets up a hibiscus banquet and a plum banquet, but the eldest princess of Chun'an is not among them, and the clan usually holds a banquet, that is, the relatives are supportive, and there is little intersection with the civil officials.

Thinking of the Cai family brothers who have often been by Brother Shou's side recently, and thinking of the Empress Dowager Yi in the palace to choose a concubine with King Rong, Shen Rui frowned slightly, not knowing what the eldest princess was holding a banquet for this time.

Yang Tian also observed Shen Rui's face, and saw that his face was a little solemn, and his heart was also a little drumming, his father and eldest brother said that it was okay, but it was okay for the Yang family, what about the Shen family?

She hesitated and said, "I was surprised just now, because the six girls from Wujingbo's Mansion suddenly came to visit before. My father said that I had never had any friendships, but the visitors were guests, so I was able to entertain them. There are a lot of new guests who come to the door these days, so I didn't pay much attention to it, and ate half a day of tea and exchanged two-color needles and threads.

"Two days ago, not long after the post of the banquet of the eldest princess of Chun'an was delivered, Miss Zhao Liu sent a letter to me, saying that she would come to pick me up that day."

Seeing Shen Rui suddenly show a big smile, Yang Tian blinked, pursed his lips and smiled: "I heard that day that she was given the second son of the British Duke." I didn't know that the second son was your friend of Second Brother Shen, so I was worried in vain. ”

Shen Rui smiled: "I also blame me, I didn't tell you all this." As he spoke, he raised his face and said seriously: "Tian'er, in the future, what happens around me will not only be told to my father-in-law and eldest brother, but also to you, I will never hide it from you, and you don't have to think too much, just be down-to-earth, everything has me." ”

Hearing a "Tian'er", Yang Tian's heart trembled, and when she heard him say it solemnly, she felt even more warm, her rapid heartbeat was like a drum, she bit her lip, and suddenly stretched out her other hand to hold his hand back.

Shen Rui couldn't help but be surprised, and when she reacted, a pair of big hands immediately wrapped her over, protecting her two small hands in her palms.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw infinite joy in each other's eyes, and tenderness and sweetness surged in their hearts, as if they had to break through their bodies and shout a few times to express this joy.

After a while, Yang Tian took a deep breath, raised his head, looked directly at Shen Rui, and said softly: "Second brother, I have always wanted to ask you, that day, in Kunning Palace, I bumped into the Queen Mother...... Do you blame me for being reckless? ”

Shen Rui was stunned, the Yang family sent a letter after the incident that day, and the Xu family also replied to praise Yang Tian for his character, and Shen Rui himself admired Yang Tian like that, but later the two exchanged letters and never mentioned this matter.

He looked at Yang Tian with a tight little face, he didn't know how long she had been secretly worried, he had to ask him face to face to see his reaction.

He was tempted to take her into his arms and comfort her, telling her how he could blame her!

He moved his hands, and in the end, he only held the soft pair tighter.

He whispered with a smile on his face, and used the most sincere voice and the most solemn tone to dispel all her doubts: "Tian'er, you did the right thing." No matter if the eldest brother is here, I am here, or my father-in-law is here, I will do the same. This is not a collision with the Queen Mother, this is a reasonable and well-founded performance, and no one in the court covers the sky with one hand, how can they be allowed to slander the Yang family with empty mouths and white teeth, and convict the Yang family? ”

Yang Tian stared at him with good eyes, did not miss a trace of expression, saw that he was stunned at first, and then smiled kindly, and replied to her with such sincerity, the knot in his heart was finally untied.

"Tian'er, don't think about that much, now there is a father-in-law, and in the future, everything will have me." He solemnly promised.

She looked straight into his eyes, suddenly smiled, and nodded heavily, "Okay." ”
