Chapter 36: The Past

Shen Bin used the accent of their hometown to tell Zhiya that it was not a name, it was 'that kid', and the kid in his mouth was a person who had died in Shen Tingnian's heart.

She lay back on the bamboo couch, and the memories that surged up in her mind were mixed with many things about her grandson recently, Shen Tingnian felt that she was caught in a huge snare, and she would only rampage before, falling deeper and deeper, but now she found a gap, as if she had spied on the truth outside the snare.

Is it a coincidence? Only then did she find out that Taisun really participated in the chess tournament in the second year of Longtai, but he withdrew for some reason after only a few games.

The Shen family couldn't wait to tell her the news of that person - Shen Tingnian's hunch told her that she must have learned some important information by accident, but she didn't know it.

Shen Ting hasn't remembered the past for a long time, a person's past can be summed up in a few words, and she feels that 'unbearable to look back' is the most appropriate.

When Shen Ting was seven years old, he was sent to the Shen clan for 'foster care' by his family, and he happened to be sent by the Shen family to select the housekeeper who took a look at him, and then brought him back to the capital.

That year was the seventh year of Zhengying, and she remembered very clearly, because she was almost buried in the soil because of a landslide in the suburbs of Beijing, and when she entered the city later, it was drizzling, it was winter rain, and it was extremely cold. When the carriage was waiting in line for inspection, the Wei family carriage next door was interrogated by the official because it lost its road guide in the collapse, and she saw the seven-year-old Wei Chuyun through the open window, and the two looked at each other at the adjacent carriage window, and they didn't know what the future would be.

In the spring of the following year, they met for the second time, at Xiangyun Nunnery in the capital.

Xiangyun Nunnery's Yun Fang Shi Tai is very famous, is able to enter and leave the palace and the queen mother to preach and participate in Zen figures, that day is also a long, long queue, just because it is a year to have an open day in January, but also the only opportunity to see Yun Fang Shi Tai for the family sister to ask for a name.

When Shen Tingnian followed the sisters of the Shen Mansion into Xiangyun Nunnery, she saw Wei Chuyun held by an old lady at a glance, she blinked her big eyes, as if she was very curious to look at the east, take a closer look, and after a while, she also saw Shen Tingnian.

The two of them looked at each other from a line of four or five people, and when the gradually rising sunlight came down, Wei Chuyun grinned at her, revealing a mouthful of white and clean teeth.

No one will understand what fate is, only wait for the years, look back on the past, and maybe remember that year, that day.

After that, Xiangyunan only gave words to the five sisters.

Dali Temple Qing Wei Mansion sister, the beginning of the word, his father named Wei Chuyun, is the winter into the Wei clan genealogy, the eldest daughter.

And the old family in Beijing, the scholarly Confucian Shen family, a total of four sisters, only one, the word year, in early April as a daughter of the west branch of Shen Jiatang into the Shen family's female school, the female college dean named it, Shen Tingnian, since then, she has lived in Fenglai Academy for seven years.

At the beginning of the third year, Wei Chuyun enrolled in Fenglai Academy and became Shen Tingnian's classmate as a transfer student.

In the autumn of the same year, Shen Tingnian met the lost teenager Shuangmu in the back mountain of Fenglai Academy.

When she first met, she really thought that his name was Shuangmu, but later she learned that his surname was Lin.

At the beginning of love, I happened to meet a handsome, knowledgeable, poetic, and very ardent young man...... The fall was only a matter of time.

Shen Tingnian is not born cold, the books he is interested in, or the rubbings of his masterpiece, will also expose his joy, Shuangmu is the only joy she had when she was young, he wrote poems for her one after another, painted one painting after another, and planted flowers in the garden...... He said that he would give her spring, but he did not say that he would accompany her to see the flowers bloom again.

Longtai has been with her for four years, and the teenager who has accompanied her for four years has left.

In the second year, Shen Tingnian was sent to the palace by the Shen family to be selected, and across the empty hall, across the distance between the clouds and the mud, she saw the sun that should have set in her own right.

The resemblance was a beautiful mistake, and he was not her boy, but a strange joy.

###

"The timing is not right."

Pu Yangxu threw a pile of rice paper back on the bookcase in his hand, and the other hand resting on the table habitually tapped, "Zhengying entered Beijing in the seventh year, Jingyou entered the palace in the first year, the interval is eight years, she should have lived in Fenglai Academy for eight years, and she is the Fenglai Academy that Longtai left in four years, where did she go?" ”

The guard standing in front of the desk froze, it was impossible for him not to see such an obvious problem, "Back to Your Highness, this year's blank...... The minister sent people to visit everywhere, but there was no news, so he delayed for so long to return to the palace to report, and the minister specially went south quickly, and Shen Jieyu's hometown Tangxi inquired about the news, she never went back after leaving home. ”

In other words, all the information that can be found has already been written in the report.

Pu Yangxu thought for a moment, then raised his finger and motioned for him to step back.

The seventh year of Zhengying is the year when Wei Chuyun and King Cong met.

In the first year of Jingyou, Wei Buming, the Qing of Dali Temple, was demoted from Beijing, and Wei Chuyun became the princess of Cong.

And he was canonized as a grandson.

These two points in time are too coincidental, the Shen family ...... It's the Shen family.

and Wei Chuyun have been classmates for four years...... There are so many coincidences that we have to wonder if it is artificial.

But if you want to believe in man-made, what is the motive? Pu Yangxu re-flipped the newspaper, left home at a young age, sent people under the fence, and studied poetry and books for seven years, but he was lonely in the academy, and finally relied on a face to be selected into the Taisun Palace.

What if everything is really just a coincidence? He couldn't help but hook his lips and smile, Shen Tingnian, Shen Tingnian, it's really interesting for you to live.

Shen Tingnian, who didn't feel that it was interesting to live at all, had insomnia for two or three days, which was unique after she entered the palace.

So much so that she began to look forward to Pu Yangxu turning over her cards, and in an instant she spit on herself that she was counting on this man, just like that, while looking forward to it, she spit on it...... Her insomnia was cured, and Pu Yangxu didn't turn her over once.

Shen Tingnian suddenly realized that if he wanted to see someone, he really couldn't see him if he didn't take the initiative.

If you can't see it, you can't see it, and she's not uncommon.

On this day, it was raining again, gloomy and gray, and the house had to be lit in broad daylight.

Shen Tingnian re-moved a pot of Jianlan into the inner room, and her windowsill should have orchid grass all year round, four varieties of different flowering periods, Chunlan, Huilan, Jianlan, and Hanlan...... They are all taken care of by her.

She was taking care of Jianlan, there was a sound of footsteps outside, at first it was hidden in the sound of rain, she thought it was Zhiya and Xiaoxiao were playing with it, and when the footsteps stopped at the door, she looked up with a premonition.

It was really him.
