Chapter Fifty-Eight: People Reach Old Age

"Childe, why do you look at people like this?" Seeing that Shen Chongming's eyes were unblinking, looking at himself dumbfounded, Yan Yumeng couldn't help but say shyly.

"Oh." Shen Chongming's face turned red, and he finally came back to his senses, raised the package in his hand and said with a smile: "What gift do you see I bought you?" ”

"Gifts?" Yan Yumeng was stunned for a moment, and two red clouds couldn't help but rise on her face.

"Hehe, do you like it?" Shen Chongming smiled, Yan Yumeng nodded and took it carefully, although he didn't open it, he smelled the fragrance, and said shyly: "I like it." ”

"Hmph, flamboyant tongue, you know how to deceive." I don't know when Miss Wan appeared in front of the door, looking at Shen Chongming's gift to Yan Yumeng, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Shen Chongming didn't bother to be angry with her, strode over to him and handed over another small package in his hand, "No, yours." ”

Miss Wan was suddenly stunned, her face was full of disbelief, she still had her own?

"Yours, do you want it?" Shen Chongming's attitude was very bad, but Miss Wanda's heart was full of joy. Even so, he would never express it, snatched the small package, and said very inconsistently: "There are so many rouge gouache girls, but for the sake of what you did well this time, I reluctantly accepted it." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Shen Chongming to make a sarcastic or snatching thing, he turned around and slipped in.

Shen Chongming breathed a sigh of helplessness, it seems that we really don't understand the girl's mind.

Putting on a smiling face, you walked to the stove and said to Xiao Qing, who was covering her small mouth and smiling: "Miss Xiaoqing, you also have your share." ”

Xiaoqing couldn't help but be stunned, and asked with a face full of disbelief: "Ah, and mine?" ”

"Hehe, of course there is, by the way, I did a good job at lunch today." Smiling, Shen Chongming handed the package to Xiaoqing's hand.

Xiao Qingqiao blushed, bowed her head and said, "Thank you, Childe." ”

"And yours, by the way, what's your name?" Shen Chongming turned his head to look at Xin'er beside Xiaoqing with a sad expression.

"Back to Young Master Shen's words, the slave maid is called Xin'er." Xin'er lowered her head and said, but she didn't dare to pick up the small package that Shen Chongming handed in front of her. "Young Master Shen, you can't ask for this gift." There is a difference between respect and inferiority, how can there be a reason for a subordinate to receive gifts from his master.

"Xin'er, that's a good name. Take it, one for each person, and of course you can't miss it. Shen Chongming shamelessly grabbed Xin'er's little hand and stuffed the package in.

"Thank you, Young Master Shen, then." Xin'er also felt happy in her heart, but she didn't expect that she would have a gift for a maid.

After a circle of gifts was delivered, Shen Chongming turned around and walked in front of Yan Yumeng and asked, "Are you dressed like this?" ”

Yan Yumeng was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily brushed her somewhat scattered hair, "Childe, Yumeng has no other skills, so he can only cook some meals for Childe." ”

"Hehe, hard work. When you have free time that day, I will take you out of the city to see the scenery, the scenery of the capital is different from Hangzhou. Shen Chongming was extremely happy in his heart, it must be the happiest thing in the world to be able to eat the food cooked by such a woman.

"Hmm." Yan Yumeng's big watery eyes looked at Shen Chongming, it seemed that he still had a place in his heart.

Imperial.

"Ahem, ahem." Emperor Jiajing, who had been meditating for many years, finally lay on the bed, his eyes slightly closed and his face was bloodless, and he coughed from time to time.

"Li Fang, what time is it?" Emperor Jiajing opened his eyes slightly and asked, the dormitory was dim, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep.

"Master, just now." After staying up for two days in a row, Li Fang, who was waiting beside Emperor Jiajing, whispered in his ear.

"Child? How long did I sleep? Emperor Jiajing asked suspiciously, only remembering that he went to bed when he was tired from meditating, but he didn't know how long he slept.

"Master, you've just slept for two hours." Li Fangqiang said with a smile, he didn't dare to tell Emperor Jiajing that he had been asleep for two days and two nights, if it wasn't for the imperial doctor saying that it was no big deal, he was afraid that he would have convened the foreign ministers to discuss the matter.

"Hehe, two hours." Emperor Jiajing smiled bitterly, stretched out his hand and said, "Help me up." ”

"Master, you can sleep back more." Li Fang hurriedly persuaded that the emperor's body was weak, what should he do if he got up in the middle of the night and suffered from the wind.

"Help me up, I want to go down and walk." Emperor Jiajing said unquestionably, and the old man's face was still full of majesty.

Li Fang didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he could only take two little eunuchs to change his clothes for Emperor Jiajing.

The spring cold is steep, especially at night, and although there are more than a dozen braziers burning in the empty dormitory, there is still a hint of chill.

"Li Fang, do you think this house is a bit empty?" Emperor Jiajing, who had walked a few steps with Li Fang's support, suddenly stopped and asked.

Li Fang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Master, the slave maid will let the children transplant a few pots of flowers and plants early tomorrow morning, so that it will not look empty." ”

Emperor Jiajing smiled bitterly, but did not say anything more.

"Well, how many years have I lived here?" Emperor Jiajing asked again. "Master, this year is the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, and you have lived here for more than forty years." When he said this, Li Fang inevitably felt a little sour in his heart, the years are not forgiving, and the current master is indeed old.

"Forty-five years, a lot. I often wonder if the people who live here in the future will feel as lonely as I am. Emperor Jiajing's self-talk startled Li Fang, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Master, you can't say this, your body is strong, this place can only be lived in by you all the time."

"Hehe, nonsense. There are countless emperors, and there are many who are stronger than me and weaker than me, do you see that they are immortal? Emperor Jiajing turned around and said, without waiting for Li Fang to answer, he continued: "Alas, birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable, I am not a god, how can I live forever." ”

"Master......" Li Fangshen cried, but he didn't know what to say, it seems that the emperor knows everything in his heart, even if he says anything good, it will be in vain.

"Okay, get up, I'm not still alive, cry with tears and wait for me to die, maybe then you'll be really sad as a minion." A sneer appeared at the corner of Emperor Jiajing's mouth, and those people in the outer court wished they had died sooner.

Li Fang didn't dare to accept this, if he did, wouldn't it be certain that the emperor and his old man would die.

"Li Fang, it's almost the Qingming Festival, rush to Ming to send someone to Jiangxi to sweep Yan Song's grave, Yan Shifan's kid is gone, and he can't let his grave be wasted, after all, he has carried it for me for more than 20 years, and he is a good courtier." Emperor Jiajing instructed.

"Yes, the slave must be properly arranged, and let everyone know your intentions." Li Fang hurriedly replied, it seems that the master is really old, once people are old, they like to miss the old.

"Confused, Yan Song's official reputation is not good, don't make a big deal about this matter, and some people in the province will make irresponsible remarks." Emperor Jiajing turned his head and glared at Li Fang, this guy is really old, and he can't think about it when he runs errands.

"Yes, slave and maid are confused, slave and maid are confused." Li Fang said resignedly, the master is old, but his temper has not changed.

"The world, hell, the cycle of life and death continues, do you say that all the people I have killed over the years have been reincarnated?" Emperor Jiajing said a lot today, and every sentence could make Li Fang's heart tremble.

"Lord, master, these people are not good things, they must be suffering down there." Li Fang could only pick up the good ones and say them.

"Alas, sins. Palace maids, ministers, they are all human lives, how could I have done it back then, if only they had a way to live, maybe the imperial city today will not seem empty. Emperor Jiajing stood in front of the window and sighed, faintly with a trace of repentance.

Li Fang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think of a sentence, people are dying, and their words are good! These words were too rebellious, Li Fang was shocked into a cold sweat, and stood behind Emperor Jiajing tremblingly and didn't dare to speak.

After being silent for a long time, Emperor Jiajing finally came back to his senses from the long river of memories and asked softly, "What has King Yu been doing recently?" ”

"Back to the master's words, the prince is closing his door and thanking guests during this time, and he is studying the Analects." Li Fang said cautiously, if someone finds fault with the world, it is a big mistake.

"Hehe, he's so interested, let your people withdraw, it's just such a child, why do you have to guard against him like a thief." Emperor Jiajing showed a kind look at it rarely, calculating that the father and son had not seen each other for a long time, and I don't know how much he has matured.

"Yes, the slave will do it tomorrow morning." Li Fang breathed a sigh of relief and said cautiously: "Master, why don't you invite the prince into the palace to stay for a while, just to talk to you." ”

Emperor Jiajing's heart moved, and then he sighed: "Excuse me, let him study hard in the mansion, this is a good thing, don't disturb him." ”

"By the way, tomorrow's decree will let Gao Gong enter the cabinet on an errand, and the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is also both." Emperor Jiajing suddenly remembered this stubble, maybe it was a good gift for his son.

"Yes, the slave will do it tomorrow morning." Li Fang was already a little numb when he replied to this sentence, and he finally saw it in the past half a day, the emperor was arranging the aftermath!

"And Shen Chongming, let Liu Shouyou bring him into the palace tomorrow, quietly, don't let outsiders know." Speaking of Shen Chongming, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help laughing, he was a talent and a child, and he was beaten by two women.
