Shen Zhi thought about it carefully, Shen Qingge was rescued for only four or five days, and during this period, the eldest brother and sister-in-law did not exchange letters, so he told the eldest brother about the causes and consequences of this incident one by one. Shen Zhi heard that his sister was dying, so he went to visit him without taking off his official uniform.

After the eldest brother left, Shen Li remembered that the second sister who loved Danqing had painted many portraits of herself, so she wanted to find out and take a look. Each of Shen Qingge's paintings is marked with a date, and it is neatly placed in a large carved wooden box according to the date.

Shen Li recognized the big red box at a glance in Shen Qingge's study, and when he opened it, he saw that there was a box full of danqing, most of which were portraits of family members, Shen Qingge was the best at painting portraits, and there were also some flowers, birds, insects and fish.

He looked at them one by one, and many things carried the friendship they grew up with. Shen Li was weak and sick since he was a child because of the lack of fetus, and Shen Shangshu entrusted a lot of connections before he was sent to the Dust Shelter for treatment and learning. Every year when he returns to Beijing to live in March, the second sister Shen Qingge can't wait to make up for him in these three months with a year's love. I always felt that he had nothing to eat in the dust shelter, so he personally cooked food for him every day, and often pulled him to paint portraits, saying that he was good to take out and miss him.

Shen Li recalled the past and laughed happily, his mother always nagged him to be unsuccessful, but his sister has always protected him and lived by him.

Shen Li looked at the box of paintings for more than an hour, until he picked up the last one, which was a portrait of a man. The person in the painting is holding a red whip, dressed in red, with a peerless face and a rebellious smile on the corner of his mouth. The inscription says: The mountain has trees and branches, and the heart is happy and you don't know.

Shen Li was at a loss like a child peeking at an adult's secret, and quickly put the painting back at the bottom of the box. Xin said: "Second sister, did you draw this before the poison?" Just once you saw it, would you secretly agree? ”

He was isolated from the world in the Dust Shelter, and he was already simple-minded, so he naturally only knew "a hurry to see", but he didn't know "a glimpse". ”

……

Tsu Building.

This is a very ordinary restaurant in the south of Yecheng, there are not many guests, the dishes are delicious, and the environment is barely clean and tidy. The first floor is for dining, and the second floor has several side rooms for guests who are tired of traveling.

A guest wearing a black cloak and a hat that blocked his face from seeing clearly said a word to Xiao Er, and Xiao Er led him up to the second floor.

Occasionally, some bored guests who are full of wine and food will see him go up, and he must be eye-catching to dress like this in the blue sky and white day and hot summer.

The man in black pushed the door and knocked three times, the rhythm was: heavy-light-heavy, and the door opened from the inside.

As soon as he entered the door, he took off his cloak and leaked out the face that looked serious and upright, and it was Shen Zhi who came.

Shen Shang stepped forward and saluted a man who was seriously tasting tea: "The lower officials participate in the prince." ”

The fourth prince, Xuanyuan Mao, put down the teacup and said modestly: "Shen Qing, please get up, there are only you and me here, don't care about these false courtesies, please sit down quickly." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

Shen Zhi sat down at the next table, Gu Changlin stepped forward to pour him a cup of tea, but Shen Zhi didn't dare to really taste it.

The fourth prince said: "Shen Qing has worked hard to inspect the river in Luozhou this time, can you gain anything?" ”

"Lord Qiqi, the lower official and He Hongyuan, the governor of Luozhou, have been in contact, and they only need to exchange letters in the future." Shen Zhi Zhengse.

"After all, he was the prince's person, if you don't go in person, this king is not at ease."

"The prince has been promoted, how can the prince have your intelligence, He Dudu is a smart person, you should know the truth of 'good birds break trees and perch'."
