The eldest daughter of the current generation of Rongguo Mansion Li Meizhen and the second daughter Li Meixin are sisters of the same mother, and their relationship is better than that of the other two sisters. Although the Jiang family is majestic and shrewd, the Li family's family style is extremely decent, and they treat their children equally. However, there is a belly partition wall on the compartment, for example, there are two guests Bai Muguan and Shen Fu beside him today, and Li Meiji, who is above the top, still has a posture of not putting his sister in his eyes.

A group of young girls wander in the back garden path like a bird's nest, the grass withers in winter, and several brightly dressed girls are like flowers.

Suddenly, Shen Fu provoked a conversation: "This emerald begonia hairpin on Sister Li's head is really beautiful, I didn't see it when I went to the Treasure Pavilion to choose the head of jewelry a few years ago." ”

Li Meizhen looked back when she heard this, and her carefully decorated Danfeng eyes did not hide her smug joy: "This is the hairpin given to me by Sister Yao of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and her vision has always been excellent." ”

The affectionate sister Yao in her mouth undoubtedly refers to Yao Xilin. It's a pity that this person was not there, otherwise he would have felt Li Meiji's enthusiasm.

Bai Muguan had already seen the brilliant begonia hairpin on Li Meiji's head, which was like a begonia blooming and lifelike, and guessed in his heart that it was not a mortal product made by folk crafts.

Shen Fu chuckled and said: "Big Sister Li has always been close to Sister Yao, Sister Yao always thinks about Big Sister Li whenever she has any good things, your friendship is really enviable." ”

There are words in the words, and fools can hear that Shen Fu is ironizing Li Meizhen for always currying favor with Yao Xilin. Although the Rongguo Mansion is a family of dukes who have been favored by heaven, it is difficult for Li Weijing, the current head of the family, to be inseparable from his father, not to mention that there are as many as four daughters of the Li family. Although Li Meizhen is the eldest daughter of thousands of pets, she is not as favored as Yao Xilin in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. In the past, when the ladies went to the flower banquet or elegant gathering, Li Meizhen always liked to pretend to be in front of others, but he lost his arrogance in front of Yao Xilin, Cai Liwan and other better daughters. Shen Fu had long been tired of looking at her for a long time.

was said to be red, Li Meizhen didn't want to lose face in front of the sister at home, and immediately counterattacked: "I'm not better than Sister Shen, there is a big sister in the family who loves you and loves you, so naturally it is not our turn for outsiders to worry about it." I really don't know if the people who are looking forward to your big sister's cup of wine in the capital are looking forward to the Year of the Monkey? ”

Shen Yue is obsessed with His Royal Highness the Prince, and the scandal of refusing to leave the cabinet so far is known to everyone in the capital. On weekdays, no one is suspicious of deliberately talking about this, but being said in public by Li Meizhen just now not only made Shen Fu's face gloomy, but also amounted to slapping the face of the Duke of Wei.

"Big cousin, when you're a year older, I probably remember that you're almost twenty-nine years old. Most of the women in the capital are fifteen or sixteen years old, and I guess my aunt should also care about your family affairs. The scarlet-clothed girl who spoke opened a pair of pure and harmless almond eyes, and there was no doubt that she was Bai Muguan.

In a word, Li Meizhen's age is already at a disadvantage among unmarried girls in the capital, and there must be a reason why the Rongguo Mansion has not set a family affair for her so far, and there may be a conspiracy behind it. The girl who is almost eighteen years old, and if she wants to choose a child of an official eunuch who is diligent in learning and has outstanding character, she is already high or low.

Li Meiji's cheeks suddenly turned red, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, and he quickly regained his composure, deliberately squeezed out a smile and said: "Cousin Lao Bai is worried about me, you are really unruly and uneducated when you come back from the border pass, how can there be a daughter's family who opens and closes her mouth to talk about family affairs." ”

In fact, why isn't she in a hurry? She was also afraid that she would become the second Shen Yue...... Mother Zhao can't be the master, so she can only worry about her, because the person who doesn't allow her to see her relatives is her grandmother. It's just that she didn't have the courage to take the initiative to mention the marriage event to her grandmother, so she could only wait stupidly.

Seeing through the other party's thoughts, Bai Muguan did not move his eyebrows and asked calmly: "Big cousin said it well, then why are you talking about Big Sister Shen of the Wei State Mansion?" Don't you know the truth that you don't want to do to others? ”

Shen Fu hurriedly cast a grateful glance at Bai Muguan, as the saying goes, the ugliness of the family is not publicized, she is finally burdened by the reputation of the eldest sister.

As for Li Meiji, he became more and more embarrassed, twitching the corners of his mouth expressionlessly, and anger rose in his eyes, but he couldn't argue with it. Deep down, I began to hate Bai Muguan, and I couldn't understand why she turned her elbow outward, and actually helped outsiders to say that she was her cousin!

At this time, Li Meixin, who is usually gentle and demure, can only speak out for her eldest sister: "It's rare for sisters to have time to get together, and it's the first day of the Lunar New Year. ”

Compared with Li Meixin, who has a very high self-esteem in speech and demeanor and tends to be inflammatory, Li Meixin, who has a modest temperament, is not disliked at all. After the New Year, she was sixteen, and happened to be one year older than Bai Muguan, originally she was favored by Concubine Lin and wanted to let the eldest prince be accepted as a side concubine, but Concubine Lin was suddenly hanged, and the eldest prince was grounded to apologize. Jiang revealed that after the New Year, she asked the official media to see her in-laws' family for her, which made Li Meizhen even more anxious.

"Sisters, listen carefully, who's doing the?" It was Li Meizi, the fourth girl of the Rongguo Mansion, who spoke, and saw her combing a double-ring bun, her pink and lovely little face was blown up, with a lovely smile on her face, and although her eyebrows and eyes did not grow, she could see that she would be a beauty in the future. At this time, she was still young, just past her tenth birthday a few years ago.

Bai Muguan listened carefully, only to feel that the sound of the flute was familiar, she seemed to have heard it somewhere.

Could it be Shen Yu?

I vaguely remembered that he only had a jade pendant on his waist today, and he didn't seem to be carrying the purple jade flute.

Li Meizhen answered disdainfully: "Xu is a certain singer raised by his father in the house who has nothing to do to play tunes, why make a fuss." ”

didn't understand the eldest sister's contempt, Li Meizi's smile was simple and clean: "No matter who it is, this song is so good." ”

Bai Muguan subconsciously glanced at Shen Fu beside him, but saw that she was really a little hesitant: "Why is it a bit like the tune played by the eldest brother......"

Bai Muguan smiled softly and asked, "Your brother is proficient in music and rhythm, and you are not bad at it?" ”

"No, no, no, I'm just a little bit of the rhythm, and it's almost the same as not understanding." Shen Fu hurriedly smiled and waved his hand and said humbly, "Speaking of which, my brother is really an all-rounder, he is proficient in blowing the flute, stroking the piano, dancing, and making ink, and he is even good at tea art Danqing." When Shen Yu was mentioned, she not only had pride in her eyes, but also looked at Bai Muguan slyly.

As smart as Bai Muguan, how could he not guess the cunning in Shen Fu's eyes? It's just that she didn't show the shyness she deserved, but smiled faintly: "Last time I went back to your Wei State Mansion as a guest, I happened to hear Shen Gongzi blowing a flute, which is detached and secluded, which is indeed good." ”

She didn't expect Shen Fu to react quite violently next, her face was first surprised, then suddenly realized, and finally she couldn't hide her joy and joy. This change in expression confused Bai Muguan a little.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Fu pulled Bai Muguan and walked quickly to the pavilion in front of him, and then turned around to make sure that they kept a distance from the Li family sisters, and then spoke with confidence: "It turns out that Sister Bai, you and my eldest brother have met a long time ago, no wonder when my mother mentioned that she came to the Rongguo Mansion to see you a few days ago, the eldest brother not only did not refuse, but agreed with a smile." In this way, I'm afraid my eldest brother likes you. ”

Bai Muguan suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and couldn't bear to reject the beautiful little girl in front of him straightforwardly, after all, Shen Fu couldn't be the master of this matter.

"Sister Bai, I admired you very much when we first met at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, I didn't expect you to have the fate to become my sister-in-law, this is really good! Sister, you are beautiful and kind-hearted, and my eldest brother is outstanding in appearance, Zhilan Yushu, you are a match made in heaven......" Shen Fu smiled with a smile on her eyebrows, and talked endlessly with interest, not paying attention to Bai Muguan's expression at this time.

In the end, when Shen Fu finally stopped her reverie and was still unsatisfied, Bai Muguan coldly interrupted her: "Where is your brother at the moment?" ”

Shen Fu, who was overly surprised, didn't notice that something was wrong, and scratched his head uncertainly: "He should talk to the two sons of the Li family in the study." ”

They were standing in the pavilion at a high place, Bai Muguan looked down and swept his gaze, but saw Li Xiang and Li Qi brothers walking towards the Li family sisters, obviously Shen Yu did not go with them.

Listening with his ears up, but hearing the sound of the flute has not stopped, Bai Muguan no longer hesitated, turned around and walked down the stone steps quickly, and walked along the place where the sound of the flute came from. Shen Fu was stunned at first, and didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly caught up with her.

This time, who was also not too familiar with Bai Muguan's Rongguo Mansion, with her natural excellent sense of direction, she quickly found Shen Yu in the Yanbo Pavilion in the southwest corner of the back garden. The scenery here is unique, and there is a secluded bamboo forest in front of it, which is extraordinarily quiet and quiet.

Through the feather veil hanging down from the Yanbo Pavilion, she couldn't see the handsome face of the young man in the pavilion, and was only impressed by his unique temperament.

Shen Fu interrupted the dream-like beautiful flute with a sentence of "big brother", and the young man in the pavilion took a few steps forward and slowly stopped, and opened his mouth gently: "Fu'er, is my mother still in the front hall at this time?" ”

After coming out for a long time, Shen Fu didn't know: "The old lady of Rongguo left us to eat, and I wanted to come to the front hall to talk to the old lady." ”

Shen Yu smiled lightly, and her voice sounded very doting: "You girl likes to run around when she goes out, go back to her mother and stay, don't be rude when you come to Rongguo Mansion as a guest." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go back to my mother, you can talk to Sister Bai." After saying that, Shen Fu couldn't help but squeeze her eyebrows.

When Shen Fu walked away, Bai Muguan subconsciously avoided his gaze and lightly opened his lips: "Every time I see Gongzi, you are playing a flute, could it be that Gongzi is the best at?" ”

Hearing this, the young man in the pavilion was slightly dumbfounded, and through a layer of feather yarn, he only heard him say unhurriedly: "The white girl's ears are very powerful, no matter where you are, you can always find it when you hear it, and it is fate to think about it." ”

"There is something in Childe's words, as if he is saying that Mu Wan is frivolous and rude." Bai Muguan's lips flashed with self-deprecating laughter.

"I don't mean that, don't get me wrong, white girl." Shen Yu rarely showed anxiety, stretched out his hand to lift the feather veil, and put down his hand with a slight embarrassment.

Bai Muguan pretended not to see it, and said with a light smile: "It's just a joke." ”

After a moment of silence, Shen Yu smiled suddenly, and his voice was clear: "Today I played this song called "Autumn Moon on the Peaceful Lake", which is not lingering and compassionate, but I only like the transcendence and lightness of the tune. ”

Bai Muguan lowered her eyes and listened to him, she remembered that Yu Wenye preferred the tune of mountains and rivers looking for bosom friends, and the elegant and handsome young man in front of her was completely different from him.

"I did hear a sense of seclusion from the sound of Childe's flute, and I came here today because there was something I needed to ask Childe face-to-face." Bai Muguan settled down and got straight to the point, "I don't know if the son is such a transcendent person, will follow the orders of his parents and the marriage of the matchmaker?" ”

Shen Yu's pale face was dyed with a layer of shame and flushing, staring at her through the thin veil, and his tone was as soft as a warm sun: "If I am lucky enough, my parents' life is the person I admire in my heart, so it is naturally better." ”

What he meant was clear enough.

Bai Muguan asked again: "What if the person you admire already has her beloved?" Will you go your own way? ”

"If she already has someone she likes, I naturally won't put her in a dilemma. I hope that she can marry her beloved forever, and I feel that she is safe and happy when I see her. Shen Yu replied to her with a calm smile without hesitation, not easily perceiving the sadness and regret in his eyes.

Bai Muguan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, a humble gentleman like him who was not worldly, it was her misgivings that blamed him.

"Shen Gongzi is open-minded, and he is definitely very comparable." As she spoke, she bowed lightly from the bottom of her heart.

"The white girl is afraid that she is contemptuous in her heart, but as a man, she is unwilling to make contributions and serve the country." Shen Yu inadvertently broke through her heart, and slowly said, "I was taught by my grandfather since I was a child, and I also walked to the study with His Royal Highness the Prince, and I will always be a loyal and patriotic person in this life. Grandfather's style of behavior in this life pursued a solitary style, which is ashamed to say, and it is not as good as Ling Zun throwing his head and spilling blood for the country and the people. However, in the world for decades, it is fashionable to show the edge, and it is inevitable that people will be jealous and hateful. As a courtier, our Wei Mansion is already famous enough, so my grandfather and grandmother are reluctant to marry my eldest sister into the East Palace. Grandmother often said that the Shen family could afford to support her for a lifetime, and they didn't have to go to the palace that ate people and didn't spit out bones to survive. ”

He finished speaking in one breath, and couldn't help but gasp slightly. The capital is so big, when the matter of the prince and Bai Muguan was disturbed by many versions, Shen Yu only pretended not to know, his words today have a deep meaning.

First of all, he knocked on the side and reminded Bai Muguan that although the Bai family is now a nouveau riche who is proud and glorious, he needs to be cautious and make a big move, so as to avoid disasters. Then he told her that the century-old family of the Duke of Wei pursued the golden mean of self-preservation, and neither participated in the party struggle for succession nor paid attention to the struggle for power and profit between the DPRK and China, which was a rare stream of light in the noble family of the capital. In the end, on the grounds of his eldest sister Shen Yue, he bluntly said that when he entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea.

Bai Muguan realized the true intention he wanted to express, and seemed to smile: "Since the Wei Mansion adheres to the golden mean, why should you take a fancy to me, a maverick and rebellious girl?" ”

"What the Duke of Wei likes about you has nothing to do with me." Shen Yu subconsciously clenched the purple jade flute in his hand, his voice was gentle and not rippling, but soft and rigid, "I only know that you are very similar to the "Autumn Moon on the Peaceful Lake" I played, which is detached and bright, and makes people feel excited. ”

Knowing that he was interesting to him, he was euphemistically expressed by him at this moment, which still made Bai Muguan stunned for a moment. When they first met, she felt that she and he were not all the same. She didn't know that when she first met, her bright and elegant and unconventional self inadvertently opened Shen Yu's calm heart.

He has always cultivated himself and has no quarrel with the world, but when he met her, Shen Yu wanted to give it a go for the rest of his life's marriage.

Seeing that she lowered her eyes and was silent, Shen Yu said again: "You have been to the battlefield in person, and you know what the situation is like there, are you willing to see the two countries go to war, with countless casualties, so as to build the honor of the family's eternal military exploits?" ”

"Of course I don't!" The girl's apricot eyes flowed, her teeth bit her red lips lightly, and she said angrily in her heart, "I would rather be a poor peasant woman in peace than pray for the two countries to fight each other in order to be able to make war achievements and enjoy glory and wealth." His father has been in charge of Shuaiyin for more than ten years, but his lifelong wish is to hope that one day Mobei will be peaceful, and he will return to Beijing to return to the military power to spend the rest of his life. ”

Any fighting and fighting, whether it is conquering a city or defending a country, the price is a river of blood. A war has left hundreds of people bereaved and displaced. Bai Muguan didn't want to see the war, but as long as the Tianxi Dynasty had to fight the need, she was the first willing to lead the troops to meet the enemy, just to bring peace to the people as soon as possible.

"The height of the imperial court and the temple is also like a battlefield, fighting each other for fame and fortune, and in the end, most of them lose both. I can't see this in my eyes, so I really don't want to set foot in the court in this life. Shen Yu's eyes quietly moved into the distance, and his eyes gradually overflowed with a smile, "Not only the court, but I also don't want to stay in this unpredictable capital." I like the beautiful scenery of peach blossoms and willows in the south of the Yangtze River, and I look forward to being able to buy a few acres of land there in my lifetime, buy a house with blue bricks and tiles, enjoy the pear blossoms and peach blossoms in spring, and watch the cold plum and snow in winter. ”

The cold wind happened to blow away the feather veil, and Bai Muguan saw his bright and beautiful eyes, his eyes were very firm, and his long eyelashes blinked, and he gave her a warm enough smile.

This smile made her couldn't help but be stunned, such a heart-warming pure smile, Yu Wenye would never have it. For some reason, her heart seemed to be stirred up by a pebble for a gentle ripple.

She grew up in Mobei for a long time, and was accustomed to the monotonous Gobi Desert prairie, and Bai Muguan had a wish in her life to travel all over the world and travel through the great rivers and mountains of the Tianxi Dynasty. As for the Jiangnan with green mountains and beautiful waters, Wu Nong's soft words, it is naturally the pure land she is most looking forward to in her heart. If she chooses the young man in front of her, she will be unrestrained in this life, and she only needs to spend the rest of her life with his clear song. The key is that he may be able to give her the expectation of a lifetime and a couple.

Touching the purest yearning in his heart, Bai Muguan's bright face was full of smiles: "If I were a man, although I would enter the court as an official, I would like to be a pure minister." ”

Yes, if she is a man, she will inevitably choose to be a pure minister, which can not only preserve the glory of the family, but also stay out of the matter. It's a pity that she is a daughter, and marriage can determine where she will go in this life. The emperor relied heavily on the Bai family, and it was impossible to allow her to hide in Jiangnan in a comfortable and idle manner, and the prince, the imperial family, and even the prince were eager to take her into the inner house.

Shen Yu understood her situation, and saw him quietly lead away from the conversation: "It's time for lunch, you go back first, if someone bumps into you and I are alone and widowed on the same road, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation." ”

Today he has tested her mind, although she does not seem to be in love with him, at least she retains a part of the purity in her heart, which is not the same as him, and they all look forward to the quiet years. She is not the kind of foolish woman who blindly values the glory of the family and covets the supreme honor of brocade clothes and food.

Bai Muguan also understood his kindness, nodded seriously, and then turned around and left.

Her crimson back is scorching, delicate but not demonic. Shen Yu lifted the feather veil, as if he was in front of a beautiful peach orchard.

It turned out that she was the Jiangnan in his heart.
