When Nian Sheng took the second letter of unknown meaning from Guan Zhu's hand, the content of the letter was far less curious than the strange smile on Guan Zhu's face. "Didn't you say you'd never come to me again?"

Guan Zhu actually raised his chin and looked at his sister proudly and said, "Didn't you see that I was here to deliver a letter?" I am the messenger of the Thirteenth Master, and I entered this door for the Thirteenth Elder Brother, not for myself. Guan Zhu deliberately accentuated the word "brother".

Nian Sheng looked at his appearance, and couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, "Then Lord Messenger, your errand is complete, can you please go back?" ”

"You?" Guan Zhu originally thought that his seventh sister would take this opportunity to reconcile with him, but he didn't expect Niansheng to just follow his words.

"What's wrong with me?" Nian Sheng asked innocently. Of course she wanted to reconcile with Guan Zhu, but she just Qi Guan Zhu was towards Yinxiang and helped Yinxiang, so she deliberately didn't give Guan Zhu a step.

"Humph!" Guan Zhu flicked his sleeves and walked out, and said loudly as he walked: "It's really difficult to raise women and villains!" After saying that, he ran away without looking back, as if he was afraid that the voice of the thought would come out and beat him.

Nian Sheng didn't have the heart to take care of Guan Zhu at this time, she was about to open the letter in her hand, but she didn't want the hanging toad to see that she had read the letter, so she had to pretend not to care and threw the letter on the table.

The size of the hanging toad grew up with Niansheng, how could you not see Niansheng's mind? Holding back a smile, he left Niansheng's side under the pretext that something was wrong.

After confirming that the hanging toad had gone away, Nian Sheng took the letter into the bedroom, sat on the edge of the bed and gently tore open the envelope.

This letter is two more pages than the previous one, and the greetings at the beginning are somehow much closer, that is, the greetings are quite complicated, and everything that can be said is basically greetings. The sound of reading was one head and two loud, and finally skipped a page and a half.

Later, fortunately, I didn't write those patchwork sentences again, and instead explained why Yinxiang brought Yinlu to Marhan's mansion, focusing on how he walked near Niansheng's courtyard, and finally why he gave up going to the courtyard to investigate.

"Being here, you can't help but have a lot of scruples. Xiang is a man who has no worries about gossip, but the name of the girl Bingyu cannot be stained with dust. Standing outside the wall and thinking for a long time, although my heart is tormented, I can only stop moving. If you endanger the girl's reputation for your own selfish thoughts, you can't die."

Looking at the words on this paper, Nian Sheng felt a little feeling in his heart, "He also has a heart." It's not that I haven't thought about this kind of explanation, but when I saw Yinxiang explain it in person, it felt naturally different and down-to-earth.

In the end, Yinxiang didn't forget to ask Niansheng in the letter why he didn't reply, and whether he was still angry that he didn't go to see her.

"It's not uncommon for you to come. What to do? Unexpectedly, gossip, the previous truths were written to me alone? After reading the letter, Niansheng put the letter into the secret compartment of the closet, and said to himself that Yinxiang was stupid.

What Nian Sheng didn't know was that the hanging toad just walked around the outside and crept back, and was under the window to hear her call in the house.

The toad covered his mouth so that he didn't laugh out loud, it seems that his young lady still has some interest in the thirteenth elder brother in her heart. Although Hanging Toad has never seen Yinxiang, there are still a lot of words for the emperor's son, who is known as the desperate Thirteen Lang, in Sijiu City.

And according to the research of the hanging toad, the appearance of the thirteenth master must also be good, I heard that there is a young lady in the Guerjia clan, just because she saw the thirteenth master when she went to the banquet in the palace, who knows that she fell in love at first sight, and she can't wait to marry Yinxiang every day. Besides, her own young lady has seen this thirteenth master, if her appearance is bad, she will already be mean, where will she still worry?

After thinking about it so much, Hanging Toad also made a calculation in his heart, anyway, now Guan Zhu is going to stand on the side of the Thirteenth Master, so he might as well stand over secretly. made up his mind, and that night Hanging Toad secretly went to see Guan Zhu, and told him that if the Thirteenth Master asked if he had read the letter, let him say that he had.

"How can this be said? I didn't see her look at it, so I didn't know if I walked on the front foot, and the seventh sister threw the letter away on the back foot. Guan Zhu said a little angrily.

Hanging Toad hurriedly told Guan Zhu everything he had secretly seen, "But you can't say that to the Thirteenth Master, you just need to say that the young lady has seen it." ”

Guan Zhu thought about it and felt that it would work, but there was still a question that he didn't know how to say, "Then if he asks me why Seventh Sister didn't reply, what will I say?" ”

"If you ask this, you're telling the truth, you don't know. That's it. Hanging Toad remembers that this is how it is played in the play, and half-truths are the easiest to get things done.

Guan Zhu himself doesn't understand these things anyway, so he will do whatever the toad says, "That won't be wrong with the seventh sister, right?" Guan Zhu still cares about his sister in his heart.

Hanging Toad smiled and said, "As long as you want to let the Thirteenth Master be your brother-in-law in the future, there is nothing wrong with this." ”

As soon as Guan Zhu heard this, he immediately came to his senses and nodded obediently. At his age, he doesn't know too much about officialdom such as factions, and he doesn't even know much about the love between men and women, and he can't even think of many things if he doesn't say anything. Guan Zhu just thinks that the Thirteenth Master is so mighty, and he will definitely be able to "control" her if he marries his seventh sister in the future, so that he doesn't have to be afraid of the seventh sister.

So when Yinxiang asked Guan Zhu, Guan Zhu honestly recited it according to the words of the hanging toad.

Yinxiang couldn't help but wonder a little, this is to say that the first letter is not returned, it can be regarded as reasonable, this second letter is written very seriously, and also explains why she didn't go to read it, but why didn't she reply?

"I really don't know about that." Guan Zhu said it honestly. "Do you have any more letters to bring today?" He thought that he should go to his seventh sister to eat some snacks, and sending a letter was a good excuse.

Yinxiang only waited for Niansheng to have a reply before he could write it, and now Niansheng doesn't care about himself, how can there be such a ready-made reply. I wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, I said to Guan Zhu: "Tomorrow you will still be waiting here after school, if I don't come, Hailiang will also come to give you the letter." ”

Guan Zhu agreed, and then saluted and left the palace.

Yinxiang couldn't quite understand why Niansheng didn't reply to his letter, but he felt that Niansheng had finally read it, which was a good thing, so he decided to write another one to try. Moreover, it is not possible to repeat it again and again. If this third letter still doesn't reply, he will be considered dead. Yinxiang said to himself.

But what to write? Yinxiang made a difficulty, the first two letters were quite targeted, and the third letter was completely directionless.

After thinking about it, Yinxiang simply wrote this letter as a diary, and wrote a few things he had done in the past few days, the difficulties encountered in dealing with official business, and the jokes of gossip among colleagues.

After writing and sealing it, I just waited for Guan Zhu to bring it on the next day.

Guan Zhu handed the letter to Niansheng, and without waiting for Niansheng to say anything, he pulled the hanging toad and asked her to send him back, ostensibly at random, but in fact, it was to leave time for Niansheng to read the letter.

Nian Sheng carefully read the letter three or two times, confirmed that it was only three pages, and then said with a disgusted face: "It's really boring, the paper is full of things around you, why don't you just write in it for eating and sleeping?!" I watched the joke at the end twice, bent my eyes and laughed for a long time, and still didn't forget to complain: "The joke is okay, but there are too few." ”

The hanging toad, who was still hiding outside the window, memorized the words of the voice this time, and when he told Guan Zhu, he even instructed: "You must tell the thirteenth master all these words, don't let him be cold and stop writing." The young lady didn't say anything, but she read each letter several times, and she put it away. ”

Guan Zhu pouted and said, "Hanging toad, what do you say Seventh Sister thinks?" She picked up the pen and replied a few words to the thirteenth master, what can she do? ”

It's really hard to say this question, but there are often such things in the play, "Miss probably thinks that she is a woman, so she has to be reserved, okay?" ”

"She?" Guan Zhu pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly: "That's right, at least those Fujin Gegege in Sijiu City can say it, no one doesn't say that my seventh sister is good." ”

Hanging Toad hurried to his side, and didn't say anything more to Guan Zhu, so he left in a hurry.

After a day, it wasn't until Guan Zhu took Yinxiang to step into the small courtyard of Niansheng again that Hang Toad breathed a sigh of relief, she was really worried that the Thirteenth Master would ignore her own young lady again.

When talking to Guan Zhu at night about the reaction of reading the letter, Hanging Toad did not forget to ask the reaction of the Thirteenth Master carefully.

"The Thirteenth Master is calm, when I said that I didn't reply to the letter, he didn't even frown, turned around and left." Guan Zhu recalled, "I thought at the time, this is over, he must be angry. But today it was the Thirteenth Master who personally sent me the letter, and I still think it's a little incredible. ”

Listening to this, the toad nodded, "Then it's no wonder that Miss said something after reading it, 'Is this a letter written for me?' I won't reply to me if I'm good or not, how do you know how to go? You might as well write about yourself. ’”

"So tomorrow I still have to bring the words of the seventh sister to the thirteenth master?" Guan Zhu asked consciously.

The toad nodded yes.

Guan Zhu's messenger has been for more than half a month, and it is not easy for the staff to be a toad.

Although Yinxiang still can't wait for Niansheng's reply, it has become his habit to write a letter to Niansheng every other day, as long as he can hear Niansheng's reaction to his letter the next day, he feels quite content.

Seeing that the wax moon was about to end, Kangxi had already planned the arrangements for the coming year. After the fifteenth day of the first month, he will go to Henan and Shandong to inspect, and the accompanying list includes the thirteenth son of the emperor Yinxiang.

There were still three days left before the day of the seal calculated by Qin Tian, and Kangxi summoned the princes to speak, in addition to talking about the things in the past few years, that is, arranging travel. He even gave a few words of advice to Yinxiang, "Don't just run before and after on the road on this trip, but also follow your fourth brother and starling brother to make some current arrangements and preparations, and learn the rules here." Such a big person, it is also a serious labor to stay in the people's homes, so you have to be careful, you know? ”
