Shen Zetang walked neither fast nor slow with his hands behind his back, and the moonlight in the garden was exceptionally bright, reflecting the stones all over the road like a sea of silver.

He could hear the footsteps behind him very lightly, and the soles of his shoes must be very soft, and men had heavy stepping force and loved to wear official shoes with thick and hard soles.

Who else can be a woman running around in Ying Tianfu, Shen Zetang's eyes were slightly gloomy, pretending to be unaware, and he walked leisurely past the pavilion.

The pavilion is connected to the arch bridge, and the arch bridge is a hundred steps away, which is the courtyard where he rests, and there are two new red cages lit up in front of the door.

The man persistently followed, but he refused to speak out of arrogance...... Shen Zetang suddenly paused and turned to look at her.

She was wearing a white sprinkled spring dress, wearing a begonia red horse face skirt, combing a peach heart bun and inserting bright pearls, her expression looked caught off guard, her black eyes were not flustered, she raised her hand to gently brush the broken hair on her sideburns, deliberately softened her voice, and called Brother Tang, don't come to be harmed? !

A well-known and decent female disciple who closes the door deliberately behaves like a lady may be able to bluff the first acquaintance, but Shen Zetang seems to think that it is very interesting.

"It's late at night, Miss Tang should go back early to rest." He stood in the moonlight, and the moonlight entered his eyes like the gentleness of water.

Tang Jin couldn't be a little girl with low eyebrows and drooping eyes, so he simply looked at Shen Zetang generously: "After a few years, Brother Tang is still the same as he was back then." She tugged her sideburns again, and her tone was rare with melancholy: "I'm old." Shen Zetang smiled.

A woman in her twenties, in front of a man who is in the prime of spring and autumn, said that she was old, and he could only smile.

Tang Jin continued: "I don't care what others say, Brother Tang, you say, do I have an old man?" ”

In fact, like all women in the world, she always cares about her youthful appearance in front of her admirers.

Even when he has gray hair, he hopes that in his eyes, he is still the most beautiful and beautiful.

How could Shen Zetang not understand her thoughts, he shook his head and smiled: "You shouldn't come to ask me, because I don't know you well, and you won't be able to stand it if you tell the truth." “

Tang Jin was not stupid, her face immediately flushed, and she shouted angrily: "Where are you not familiar?" You took my hydrangea, but on the grounds that you have a wife and daughter, you refuse to even have the opportunity to be a concubine, where is wrong with me? I've been waiting for you silently for all these years, haven't you been touched at all? “

Shen Zetang smiled a little bitterly: "If I am moved, I will marry you, there is no such reason in the world." “

"Women are unreasonable, Brother Tang doesn't know?" She stomped her feet and began to mess around: "If you want to marry me, or promise me a little thing." “

If you can compare a small thing with marrying her, how can it be a small thing!

If it was normal times, Shen Zetang was disdainful, but he remembered Tang Tongzhang's words at the banquet: "Although the fifth girl is rude, she knows how to be measured, you see that she has refused to marry all these years, but she has never gone to the capital to pester you, she is actually very distressed." ”

Looking at Tang Jin's face, Jian Shui's eyes were shaken by the shadow of the tree, and he Mo Shaoqing finally said lightly: "What kind of trivial matter do you say. ”

"You promise me first." She smiled a little slyly, Shen Zetang pursed the corners of his mouth, turned around and left.

"Eh........" Tang Jin hurriedly stopped him, bit his lip and said in a low voice: "This time you came here to inspect, no matter what you find, it is good to leave my father's life, he is innocent." “

Shen Zetang was secretly surprised, and said without changing his face: "This is very strange, you might as well tell the truth in Tancheng, I know how to help your father avoid trouble." “

Tang Jin looked very embarrassed, she sighed: "Who can hold the shadow of the three lights, everything has no roots and only grows on its own, with Brother Tang's wisdom and strategy, the clues will soon be found, so why bother me to speak." “

"Time passes lightly, and the world determines life and death in an instant." Shen Zetang said in a calm tone: "If you talk to me earlier, you may be able to save your father's life, but it's really hard to say later." ”

Tang Jin stood there with his neck down, trembling slightly, the arrogance of the day disappeared without a trace, looking very pitiful and helpless.

Shen Zetang sighed and walked up to her, wanting to say something comforting, but he didn't expect Tang Jin to throw himself into his arms, his slender arms tightly wrapped around his waist, and he quickly let go without waiting for refusal.

She ran a few steps in the opposite direction, and suddenly paused and turned her head, her face flushed, but her voice was very firm: "Brother Tang, I'll tell you everything I know tomorrow morning." ”

Shen Zetang looked at Tang Jin's back until it was hazy, and then he turned around and said, "Come out, you are still hiding and doing something." His gaze looked at a camphor tree, and Shen Rong should be standing behind.

How could I imagine that a string of silver bells laughed from the rising mist, and a little girl with a double bun and blue clothes walked up, with two tender wicker strips wrapped around her waist, and a delicate basket in her hand, her face was round and bulging, and her cheekbones were sprinkled with freckles, which looked very childish.

She also spoke childishly, tilted her head and blinked and asked, "Did Lord Shen see my young lady?" ”

"Who is your young lady?" Shen Zetang pursed the corners of his mouth, and someone stood behind him, it was Shen Rong, who clenched the Qianniu Knife tightly, and his expression was full of vigilance.

She grinned and laughed again, her eyes were crooked like a crescent moon, and she looked very cute, but unfortunately what she said was not cute: "Lord Shen bullied people, obviously he just talked to my young lady, but he asked knowingly." ”

Shen Rong frowned and wanted to scold, but was stopped by Shen Zetang waving his hand, he looked at the little maid with interest, and said with a smile: "You saw me talking to your young lady immediately, why didn't you hide and don't show up?" ”

The little maid wrinkled her nose and snorted: "You chirp me, mine, wouldn't it be a big spoil for the slave to come, and the most important thing to be a girl for the master is to know how to know each other, otherwise you won't live long." ”

"Yes!" Shen Zetang smiled: "You are quite good at reading people's hearts." He then pointed in the direction where Tang Jin had disappeared, "Miss Tang went that way." “

"Lord Xie Shen shows the way." The little maid leaned over and saluted, and handed him the bamboo basket: "This is for the girl who was injured by my young lady today, and she should make amends to her." “

Shen Zetang carried the basket, watched her pass by lively, her expression was gloomy, and gave Shen Rong a look, Shen Rong understood and shot like electricity, nodded at her neck, and whispered shortly, and the little maid fell softly into his arms.

"Find an empty room and lock it in, and then send guards to guard it." Shen Rong gave the order, put her on her shoulders and hurriedly took a step forward.

Xu Jing happened to see this scene, he asked what was wrong with him a little strangely, Shen Zetang told the ins and outs, and then said seriously: "This maid's behavior is very strange, seeing that I don't say anything without the slightest timidity, her words are provocative, and maybe she listened to me and Tang Jin's words...... What Tang Jin wants to say tomorrow is not trivial, and there is no room for half a point difference. “

He paused: "What Tang Jin said may be related to the mystery of 'Leshanzhuang' and has not yet been decided, Xu Jing, the danger of this trip to Nanjing is probably worse than that in Zhenjiang." “

Xu Jing didn't say a word, the moon swam into the clouds, the night was dark, and the fog became thicker.
