The main hall of the old mansion of the Shen family is one of the oldest buildings in the old mansion of the Shen family.

It was built in the first year of Hongwu, by the then head of the Shen family, Shen Fu, led a group of clansmen to demolish the old house foundation and build a new one.

In order to praise the merits of the Shen Fu Zhongxing family, later generations took the word Shen Fu and named it Zhongrongtang.

It is rumored that Emperor Gao was jealous of Shen Fu, thinking that his wealth was rival to the country, and eventually became a disaster for the society, and he planned the crime of "paying the army on behalf of the Son of Heaven", and beheaded him all over the house.

In fact, Empress Ma listened to Shen Fu's advice and admonished Emperor Gao, and skillfully borrowed the name to make his family fade out of the world.

In this way, on the one hand, it can establish the authority of the emperor and make the merchants fearful, and they will not dare to cling to the noble clan for unjust gains, and second, it will be conducive to the implementation of new laws, encourage farming, and help the people recuperate.

Emperor Gao read Shen Fu heart of the world's virtue, the clan land extended several miles, the "Zhuang", extended to "town", and gave it a pair of stone lions to guard the town, the royal pen pro-book on the main hall "take the benefits of the three rivers without three".

"And then, nurse?"

"Couplet, shouldn't it be a pair?"

The ones who spoke were two little girls with forehead bandages, seven or eight years old, who looked alike, as if they were carved out of a mold.

It's just that the one who spoke first, the one who spoke later, was a little more gentle and graceful.

"Couplet, of course it should be a pair, Miss Two."

The one who told the story to the two little girls was a middle-aged woman, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, which made people feel that she should be a good person just by looking at it.

"But, the second lady thinks, the Shanglian given by Emperor Gao is not just anyone, and he dares to deal with it!"

Emperor Gao, Zhu Chongba, was born in a reckless manner, and the words he didn't know were more than ten times more than the words he knew.

The people below complimented him and praised him for having the word "dragon and snake elephant", but in fact...... The so-called "elephant of the dragon and snake" is no easier to identify than grabbing a grass snake, dipping it in ink, throwing it on the paper, and crawling out!

It's just that no one dares to say it.

In other words, most of the people who said it died young and were sent to the other side to study the "way of calligraphy".

"However, I think that the old Taoist priest who lives on the hill outside the town, with a nose like this, the talisman he draws is not much different from Emperor Gao's characters!"

The lively little girl thought about it for a while, and suddenly, her eyes widened with excitement.

It seems that this thought that suddenly popped up in her little head made her feel very reasonable.

"Why don't we tell my grandfather and let him go to the old Taoist priest and let the old Taoist priest, well, write a pair that is comparable to the one written by Emperor Gao, and the one that looks similar to the lower one?"

The little girl's words made the woman stiffen awkwardly on the stone bench.

She didn't know how to answer.

In other words, how to answer, in order not to be considered and to commit trouble.

"Miss Luoyan, this is a bad word."

Just when the woman was stared at by the little girl and couldn't flee from the wilderness, a clear voice rescued her from the "Fire Sea Knife Mountain".

Sound to.

Renda.

A touch of azure, like a flower, floated in the sky, and the extremely lazy cloud slowly floated over the courtyard wall and fell in front of the two little girls.

"Mr. Yun!"

The appearance of the man made Shen Luoyan excited, and he bounced up from the stone bench, and his eyes were full of brilliant "starlight".

He was the gentleman who was specially invited by their father, Shen Wenyan, for their eldest brother, Shen Hongmo.

According to him, he was born in the northwest, grew up in Yanjing, has the surname Jiang, and has a single name.

"Mr. Yun, aren't you going back to Yanjing for the New Year?"

"When did you come back?"

Shen Luoyan trotted while talking, and when he arrived in front of Jiangyun, he raised his head and looked at him.

She is still a child, and she doesn't understand what it means to be ignorant and want to see someone in her heart.

All she knew was that she would be happy when she talked to him.

"Yesterday evening."

The Ming Dynasty paid attention to etiquette.

The demand for women is the most demanding in all generations.

Jiangyun took half a step back, half-squatted, and looked at Shen Luoyan with a smile.

He is the gentleman who taught Shen Hongmo to read, and it is reasonable that he should not have too much contact with people in the backyard.

The two sisters, Shen Shenyu and Shen Luoyan, although they have not yet reached the end of the line, but in terms of etiquette, his behavior today has exceeded the limit.

"This year, I'll be eight years old, Mr. Yun."

The Shen family is also an official and a businessman, and the requirements for the women in the family are not as strict as those of ordinary official eunuchs.

In addition, these two sisters are the second son of the Shen family, and they often live in southern Xinjiang with their father Shen Wenyan......

In the words of his father Shen Wenyan, these two girls are wilder than many boys, and in the future, if they marry into their husband's family, the concubines and maids of the husband's family will have to let them shed a few layers of skin.

Shen Luoyan is an anxious person.

Seeing that Jiangyun only smiled at her, and had no intention of replying to her words, he immediately became annoyed.

flew up, and in just one breath, he arrived in front of Jiangyun, and his fleshy little hand was even more unceremonious, grabbing his neckline.

"I said, I'm eight years old, Mr. Yun!"

Shen Luoyan puffed out his cheeks, like a little rabbit chewing on turnips.

"Last night, I just met your father, and he said, let me pay 1,000 taels of gold as a dowry before talking to me."

Shen Luoyan's sudden collision did not catch Jiang Yun off guard.

He squatted there without moving, and the smile on his face seemed to have not changed from beginning to end.

"I'm procuring."

"When the dowry is sufficient, I will send a man to propose to your father."

Literature needs ingenuity, and martial arts need to be ambitious.

Since ancient times, it has been rare to have both civil and military skills.

But this cloud seems to have both worlds.

"It's just that my family is not well-off, even if I can barely raise this gift of gold, in the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to give you brocade clothes and jade food, Miss Luoyan, are you really willing to give up wealth and glory, live in the mountains and wilderness with me, and live a hard life?"

When he said this, Jiangyun's eyes, which were like waveless water, flashed unconsciously.

When his mother was still alive, she half-jokingly told him that there is no one in the world who does not love money, and if someone is willing to treat money like dung for you, that person will love you deeply, and she will not be disappointed.

He didn't believe that this would be an exception to the girl who stalked him to him, and he had to go to Shen Wenyan to propose marriage.

"Thousands of acres of fertile land, no more than three acres of food are enough, and hundreds of beautiful houses are not enough to live in."

"My mother said that even if you eat and drink, it is a joy in life to be able to share it with the people you admire."

Hearing what Jiang Yun said, Shen Wenyan asked him for a gift of a thousand gold as an appointment, and Shen Luoyan couldn't help but wrinkle his brows.

In her concept, her father is not a greedy person.

But......

That's it, it's just a thousand taels of gold, so don't worry about him!

For a person like Jiangyun who was born in poverty, a thousand taels of gold may have to give up the mansion and "sell" herself to some people as a staff member for decades before she can pay it off, but for her, it is just a few hairpins of jewelry.

She didn't understand where her idea of selling her "favorite" for the sake of Jiangyun came from.

She only knew that if this was the case, she would be able to stay by Jiangyun's side all the time, and she was willing and reluctant.

Shen Shenyu said that the only way to be inseparable from a person is to marry that person.

She believed.

"This hairpin was given to me by my grandfather when I was seven years old."

"My mother said that it cost hundreds of taels of gold to beat this hairpin."

"You take it as a pawn, well, if someone asks, you can say, just say, I sent it to you!"

At the age of seven, she grew her hair, and the gifts given by her family belonged to the woman.

In the future, on the day she gets married, these things will follow the dowry and go to her husband's house with her.

If a woman gives a gift of hair to a man, it is equivalent to making a lifelong agreement with the man.

If the man is discouraged and refuses to marry the woman, he who awaits the woman will be lonely and old age.

Shen Luoyan was resolute.

Even the nurse who stood beside her, serving her and Shen Shenyu, was frightened by her sudden move.

Originally, in Jiangyun's mind, this Shen Luoyan's entanglement with him was just a nonsense to see the hunting heart.

And this place, this situation, this scene......

The feeling that frightened him suddenly exploded and took root in his heart.

"I took this token."

He came to ask for the support of the Shen family.

It took a lot of effort to get into Shen Wenyan's eyes and become Shen Hongmo's teacher.

It's not that he didn't think that hooking up with a young lady of the Shen family and being a concubine for himself would make it easier for him to get the support of the Shen family.

But at this time, in the face of such a Shen Luoyan, he couldn't give birth to a little bit and take advantage of her thoughts.

She was only eight years old.

It will take another five years before I can get married.

And he ...... Well, if the person who needs him to wait is her, why not wait for another five years!

"When I have enough dowry, I will make the matchmaker come to your house to propose marriage."

Jiang Yun shook his head with a smile, untied the purse around his waist, and from inside, he took out an ink-colored hook jade and stuffed it into Shen Luoyan's palm.

"This, you take it."

"My mother said that this thing is a treasure passed down from generation to generation by my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

The word "mother" made Jiangyun's eyes darken unconsciously.

Mother.

Oh, that legend has it that the woman who killed his biological mother but treated him as her own.

She's dead.

But no matter how much he investigates, he has no way of knowing the whole thing.

She has a son, but she hates him to the core.

She killed her cousin, but she took care of her cousin's child in every way.

She stubbornly guarded the dowry, and she was reluctant to spend even a piece of broken silver for her son.

But he handed over all the heirlooms to his cousin's son, and when he died, he left his last words, and the shops under his name were all given to his husband's family, and all the wealth in his name belonged to his cousin's son.

If he didn't know that she was the murderer of his biological mother, he would definitely treat her respectfully and fulfill his filial piety, but ......

If he could, he would rather not have the curiosity to inquire into these old things.

However, where in this world is there an "if"?

"I, I'll take it."

Jiangyun's words made Shen Luoyan's cheeks redden.

The piece of Magatama held in the palm of her hand, with a hint of coolness, at this time, was like a fire that burned her palm, making her almost unable to grasp it.

Although she didn't understand what was going on when she got married, her instinct made her shy.

"Well, you won't, you won't give up on me?"

"Like, just like that villain of Bi Chengen, yes, like that light-hearted sister!"

Shen Luoyan said as she put the hook jade into her purse around her waist.

When I tied the strap of my purse, I felt that it was not safe enough, so I hurriedly took it out again and clenched it in the palm of my hand.

"I don't know who the person you are talking about is Bi Chengen, and I don't know how he treats your sister lightly."

"I only know that today, you have received my token, and you are my person."

Under Shen Hongxue's deliberate publicity, Bi Chengen's evil deeds, Yanjing, are no longer known.

In this regard, how could Jiangyun, a person who had "aided and abetted", not know?

It's just that he doesn't want to mention the person of Bi Chengen, especially in front of Shen Luoyan.

……

The town, the good doctor's workshop.

In order to better formulate the next plan, Ling Jun flipped through the account books overnight.

Liu Qingxin was used to going to bed early and getting up early, and he knew whether he should persuade him, so he planned to stay up late with him, but in the middle of the night, he couldn't help but be sleepy, and fell asleep on the table.

Ling Jun looked distressed, so he picked her up horizontally and sent her to the bed.

I was going to go back to the outer room, continued to look through the account books, got up, and thought that when she woke up, Xu Hui couldn't see that she was in a hurry, so she simply went to the outside room and came back with the account books, sat on the small stool next to the bed, and read the rest of the parts by candlelight from a distance.

The sky was bright.

Liu Qingxin turned over, and suddenly thought that he should have been accompanying Lingjun to look through the account books before, so he instinctively bounced up from the bed.

"You watched it all night?"

In the eyes, it was Ling Jun's slightly pale face because of staying up late.

Liu Qingxin pursed her lower lip, turned her head, and glanced at it, and the gray window paper was already visible.

Ling Jun was seriously injured.

Although the foundation of his body is good, and the external part is no longer visible, the lost vitality cannot be made up for in a year and a half.

"Just finished reading."

Ling Jun smiled and stretched out his hand, making it look bad, and rubbed Liu Qingxin's forehead.

His own body, he knows, he, hopes to use this to divert Liu's attention and not worry her.

"These childish tricks of yours should be left to others."

"I'm a doctor!"

Liu Qingxin was unceremonious and gave Ling Jun a roll of his eyes.

Reaching out, he grabbed his wrist and gave him a pulse.

"Look at what you said."

"Besides you, who else will really care if I live or die."

Knowing that Liu was light on the "magic eye", Lingjun simply gave up all the struggles, and let her pinch her wrist and show herself the white of her eyes.

Originally, he was used to living alone, without worries.

Until I met her.

Amazing at first sight, goodbye love.

"What you say is unfair."

Liu Qingxin said as he got off the ground, snatched the account book from Ling Jun's hand, and helped him onto the bed.

"On the first day of junior high school, which one of them didn't treat you sincerely?"

"General Jiang and his wife, which one doesn't treat you sincerely?"

"You, who always guard all the bad things in this world, stubbornly believe that everyone owes you, treats you poorly, and calculates you, how can you find that there are actually people who treat you sincerely?"

Tummed the account book into the secret compartment next to the pillow, pulled the quilt to Ling Jun's chest, and Liu Qingxin sat down sideways beside him.

Since ancient times, the royal family has many rights and wrongs.

She knew that he must have experienced too much betrayal and pain before he developed the temperament he is now wary of everyone.

The battle for the heir, this temperament, does help to save his life, but what about after the succession?

She didn't want that one day, when he sat on that cold dragon chair, he would really become alone.

She was going to change him.

At least, let him understand that in this world, it is not cold everywhere.
