"The spring is silent and cherishes the trickle, and the shade of the tree shines on the water and loves the soft eyes. The little lotus showed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly had already stood on its head......"

Shen Xu had already arrived in Jingshi and lived in the prepared mansion. At this time, she was standing in the back garden, on the eaves of a house on an embankment, and was chanting a poem while looking at the scenery.

Under her round eyes, which resembled single eyelids, there was a slight look of exhaustion from the long bumps; However, her expression was very pleasant, holding the tea made of cassia seeds, lotus leaves, roses, and winter melon in her hand, and she was very satisfied with her new mansion.

Yang, a middle-aged woman in her forties and fifties next to her, was obviously puzzled. While rubbing the railing there, she muttered: "Where is the size of Jinling, Madame doesn't choose anywhere, but by Xuanwu Lake, the humidity is heavy......"

It is said that women of this age are not easy to get along with, and this Yang family has been getting more and more verbose in the last two years.

However, Shen Xu's thoughts on her love for taking care of her for many years, and felt that Yang's verbosity was also out of kindness, so Shen Xu's didn't care about her.

Shen Xu relied on his youth, smiled, and said in a slightly coquettish voice: "I like this kind of place, so I don't care about any moisture." ”

She looked at Xuanwu Lake and muttered, "You say it's quiet, but it's not quiet." Xuanwu Lake is not only in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but also the place where the willows on the opposite bank are covered and the houses looming, which are the yamen of the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate; Further afield, there is the Yellow Book Library. It's not remote here, and we're not far from Taipingmen, so it's easy to get in and out.

Aunt Yang, I actually don't like to live in a remote place, for fear of being forgotten by the world. I love being in a busy place, with someone waiting. ”

Shen Xu put away his smile when he heard this, and sighed faintly. Yang naturally can't taste the kind of sadness in her words.

Then she continued: "You say it's noisy, but it's not very noisy. Compared with the densely populated Qinhuai River in Jubaomen, singing and dancing, this place is much quieter.

Located outside the inner city of Jingshi, the inner house leans against the wide lake, except for the sound of waves and wind, you can't hear any other sounds...... I am in Yunnan Mansion, and I built my mansion on the side of Caihaizi, which is also the reason! Live by the water, in the middle of nowhere. I don't want to socialize all day, and it would be nice if I could have more time and do what I love. ”

Yang said: "Only a wealthy person like Madame can pay attention to many. ”

Shen Xu re-showed a smile and said indifferently, "You're right. ”

Yang asked: "In the morning, a eunuch came to the palace, saying that the Holy Lord wanted to make Mrs. Decree and asked Mrs. to enter the palace. When did you enter the palace? The slave will prepare the itinerary for you. ”

"The Holy One wants to thank me, Lady Decree, and the next holy decree will be enough. It stands to reason that I don't need to go into the palace to face the saint, I can write a letter of thanks, and at most I can go to see the queen during the New Year's holiday. Am I going or not going this time? Shen Xu muttered.

Yang glanced at her with a puzzled expression, and saw that her expression became very solemn; Naturally, the Yang family couldn't fully understand why the Shen Xu family was so entangled.

Shen Xu held the warm tea and walked to the railing, looking at the slight waves of Xuanwu Lake and lapping against the embankment below......

Regardless of these years, Shen Xu's

There are many successes and failures, many fears, humiliations and joys; In the end, her luck was good, and she was involved in the battle for the throne in a daze, and she actually bet on the right treasure. At this time, the Shen Xu clan could already foresee that the family situation of the "Shen family" could go further in the Wude Dynasty!

The Shen clan, because of what happened to Shen Wansan during the Hongwu period, did not trust the imperial court; At that time, Xu Fujiu took the initiative to scatter his family wealth, and the people of the Xu family did not have much pain and were more optimistic about the future.

So before the Shen Xu clan left Yunnan, the two clans roughly reached a compromise. Most of the businesses and mines in Yunnan are controlled by the Shen family's closer clansmen; The Xu family, including Xu Cailiu and Xu Caiqi, who were close to the Shen Xu family, all followed her to Jingshi, wanting to rely on the imperial power to get more wealth.

But after this incident, there was no peace within the family. Xu Cailiu, who is middle-aged, has a son who is the same age as Shen Xu's stepdaughter Shen Baoyan; Xu Cailiu plans to make Shen Baoyan his daughter-in-law in the long run.

Xu Cailiu should have sensed that Shen Xu's family and the saint might have some personal affairs. He should have wanted Shen Xu's family to enter the palace and be a concubine, and then his son would marry Shen Baoyan and control the huge wealth of the Shen and Xu families outside!

But Shen Xu's family didn't plan to do so, she just wanted Shen Baoyan to enter the palace, and she continued to control the Shen family's family business......

Shen Xu stood behind the railing for a long time. The wind blowing from the lake cooled the tea in her hand; She felt her fingertips stiffen a little, and she paced away from the railing. Her face was expressionless, with a slight helplessness and laziness, but a pair of round eyes were still bright and dark.

She said in her heart: In the past, King Min and Mu Fu all wanted to steal her family property, but now it's good, even their own people have ideas.

It is not easy for a woman to control the family business. She can't help it, the business outside doesn't rely on the people of the two clans, and she can't manage it as a woman.

On the embankment on the shore of the lake in the back garden, there is a large eaves platform, and Shen Xu stood on the railing on the eaves just now. At this point, she felt a little cold, so she went into the house.

In a lounge suite, there is a dressing table. Seeing this, Shen Xu walked over and looked at himself in the bronze mirror.

With a little powdery face, fair skin, black muzi, vermilion lips, and white teeth, the color is still bright and beautiful. But when Shen Xu took a closer look, he still found that his skin was different from those little girls. After all, she was over thirty years old.

At this time, Shen Xu couldn't help but say: If you enter the palace at this age, how many years can you still be favored? In the future, will you compete for favor with Gao Xu's stunning wives and concubines every day?

After a while, her attendant Yang walked in. Yang glanced at the teacup on the dresser, and said, "The slave maid saw that Mrs. made lotus leaf winter melon tea and didn't drink it, but it was cold. The slave maid went to make a new cup for the lady. ”

"Hmm." Shen Xu nodded, and suddenly she said again, "Don't be busy making tea first, go tell Baoyan and let her enter the palace with me tomorrow." ”

Yang glanced at Shen Xu after hearing this, as if to say: Madame has decided to enter the palace. Yang curtsied, "Yes." ”

Now that he had made up his mind and how to deal with this matter, Shen Xu finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was also much more relaxed. She said in her heart: I had thought about letting Shen Baoyan enter the palace, and this matter must be a wise choice!

Shen Xu's mood gradually improved, and she left

went to the soft couch next to him, simply lay down on his side to rest, and pulled a blanket and gently put it on his body.

Gradually, she remembered the meeting with Zhu Gaoxu.

The first time I approached him, it was just a deception. Shen Xu deliberately hung the earrings on her collar and asked Zhu Gaoxu to help her get them; Many years have passed, and although she only wanted to use Zhu Gaoxu and deal with Mu Sheng's persecution at that time, she still remembered that her heart was beating faster at that time.

Shen Xu also remembered the special chair in the pear orchard. I lost the bet that time, in broad daylight, her unacceptable posture. Shen Xu thought of the situation at that time, and his face suddenly became hot. It was obviously unbearable and very humiliating, but when she thought about it, she felt that her chest was "thumping".

Where can she rest, her mind has already become impetuous and turbulent.

Usually Shen Xu is very quiet, but when she thought of meeting Zhu Gaoxu, she was very impetuous. Somehow, she suddenly looked forward to meeting her in the palace tomorrow; She couldn't lie to herself, and she became a little impatient, as if she was expecting something to happen.

In the quiet and comfortable days, maybe after a long time, people always want to have a different experience?

But I made up my mind last time、It was the last skin-to-skin blind date; Nothing can happen again! Otherwise, it would be easy to ruin and let Shen Baoyan enter the palace.

Shen Xu sighed faintly, and an entangled image like catkins appeared in his mind.

After a long time, the attendant Yang returned to this room. Yang walked to the edge of the collapse, glanced at Shen Xu's open eyes, and then bent down and said, "Madam, the slave maid has asked Miss." The young lady said that the queen mother was entitled, and it had nothing to do with her, and she was unwilling to go. ”

Shen Xu's brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately lifted the blanket and sat up. She was a little unhappy and said, "She has grown up, doesn't she want to be obedient!" ”

Yang said: "Isn't it? If the girl's family doesn't marry early, it will be the most difficult to control. However, the slave maid felt that Xu Cailiu had seen the young lady a few days ago, and she was afraid that she had said something that should not be said......

"Oh?" Shen Xu raised his head and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

Yang said: "The slave didn't dare to talk much before. ”

Shen Xu clasped his hands in front of his stomach and walked slowly around the room for a while.

Yang asked, "Why don't you go and tell the young lady herself?" ”

"No need, forcing her at this time is counterproductive." Shen Xu said, "My mother may not be able to control it, let alone my stepmother." ”

"Yes." Yang said, "Do you still have to prepare for Mrs. Tomorrow's trip to the palace?" ”

Shen Xu didn't say anything, and walked around the room freely. She seemed a little restless, sometimes pacing; Sometimes I sat down in front of the dresser and looked in the bronze mirror, but I couldn't sit for a while, and soon I got up again.

Seeing this, Yang said, "Didn't the eunuch surnamed Wang say it in the morning?" The saint wants to discuss important matters with his wife, and when the saint was the prince in the past, didn't he often discuss matters with his wife? Now that he is the emperor, if he just wants to summon his wife to discuss matters, I am afraid that it will not be good for you to be disobedient. ”

Shen Xu turned his head and glanced at Yang, and almost said what was in his heart: Only discuss business, do you believe it?
