Shun Yu chased a few steps closely, but there was no choice but to disappear in an instant.

I wondered in my heart how could Shen Huan be here, and if he came to look for her, why should he run away. Walking all the way to Yanglin Hutong, in front of the Wuyou gate of Qin's house, there was a man standing.

The sunset wind blew his clothes, and the golden halo shone on his body, softening the hard and uninhibited air, and seeing her gradually coming, Jun's face became more and more soft.

"Xu Lan!" Shun Yu ran close to him in surprise, not as unshaven as he had a few days ago, he had sorted it out, his angular jaw was faintly blue, and the corners of his lips were smiling.

"When did you come? Why don't you knock and go in? Shun Yu tugged at his sleeve, raised his little face and squinted and smiled.

"Waiting for you." Xu Lan's reply was brief, infected with her good mood, and her finger bones stroked her sideburns that were blown away by the wind.

Shun Yu saw that he was carrying a brocade cloth package in the crook of his arm, and wanted to ask what it was, just listening to the sound of "Ka Squeak" pushing the door, Dong Da Niang stepped out of the threshold with a copper basin, and the water in the basin was steaming, and there was a fat chicken that only brushed half of its body hair. She was stunned, Fengmu looked Xu Lan up and down, smiled and asked, "This is a colleague of the officialdom?" Young and handsome! ”

Xu Lan waved at her, Shun Yu didn't say much, raised her hand and knocked on the cymbals, and the woman in the chamber came to open the door, and she could hear the little moon crying from a long distance.

"Why is she crying?" Shun Yu asked as he quickened his pace towards the main room, and Xu Lan followed closely behind.

Mama Tao greeted her, glanced at Xu Lan, and hurriedly replied: "It's not in the way, Yuanbao naughty kicked my sister's stomach, and I was wronged." “

"Squeamish." Shun Yu put his mind at ease, thought about it and said in a low voice: "Has Shen Huan ever looked for you?" “

"No!" Mama Tao asked with some confusion: "Why did Madame ask about him?" “

Shun Yu shook her head, lifted the curtain and entered the room, Cuimei was holding Xiaoyue and walking back and forth, but she was busy and listened to her: "Hug Yuan Zhen for a while, I will teach Yuan Bao to give my sister anger." ”

Xu Lan was caught off guard, and a girl was put into her hand, and she seemed to be broken when she pinched it. She was wearing a begonia red sprinkled sling shirt, black and shiny hair was fine and fluffy, her clear eyes were full of tears, she looked at him wetly, her little mouth was deflated and she wanted to cry, but she was sad, Xu Lan raised her fingers and clumsily wiped the tears that flowed to her cheeks, but Xiao Yue grabbed her thumb to her mouth, stretched out her pink little tongue and held it, sucked it and sucked it, stopped crying, looked at him obediently, and suddenly the tips of her eyes bent into crescents.

Shun Yu grabbed Yuanbao Fat Dundun's leg on the bed, hugged him into his arms and slapped his buttocks twice: "Are you still bullying your sister?" ”

Cuimei and the nurse felt pain in their flesh and muttered softly, "He didn't mean to."

Yuan Bao thought that his mother was playing with him, grinning and giggling happily, Shun Yu couldn't cry or laugh, and kissed him on the face helplessly.

Only then did he look at Xu Lan, who was standing stiffly, his face was at a loss, Shun Yu couldn't help laughing, handed the ingots to Cuimei, and then went to take the little moon.

Xu Lan felt that his thumb was wet and a little uncomfortable, so the maid brought a chair and invited him to sit down and poured tea.

Shun Yu jokingly said: "There are many children in the Guogong Mansion, I thought that Yuan Zhen was calm and calm, but I didn't know that I was still unfamiliar." “

Xu Lan smiled, secretly wondering, my brother has many children, and he has hugged him several times, how can he hold this in his palm, and he has a feeling that his heart has melted.

He unwrapped the brocade cloth he brought, it was all children's clothes and playing objects, and casually took out a small peachwood sword from it and gave it to the ingot, and a colorful reed hen to the little moon, which he had spent two hours sharpening yesterday.

The little ones really liked it, the ingots were holding and waving around, and the little moon hugged the hen tightly, snuggled up to her mother's chest, turned her head to look at him, and saw that Baigang could be soft with her fingers.

"Little Moon likes you very much." Shun Yu burst out laughing.

Xu Lan was a little sneering: "She looks like a teacher." As soon as the words came out, he regretted it, Shen Erye's life and death were unknown, what did he do when he mentioned this!

Qia Xianyue lifted the curtain and leaned over and replied: "Aunt Dong next door sent a fat chicken and said that she would add food to the official, but she couldn't refuse." ”

"Then thank her." Shun Yu stood up and gave the little moon to the nurse, rolled up her sleeves and arms, and instructed Xu Lan: "There is a chestnut tree in the courtyard, there are a lot of burrs and thorns, you beat some down, I will make a chestnut roast chicken, please eat." ”

"You?!" Xu Lan looked a little surprised.

"Don't believe it, my food is not bad." Shun Yu pursed the corners of her mouth and took the lead out of the house, took the fat chicken in Xianyue's hand, Aunt Dong picked it up very cleanly, and walked towards the kitchen with satisfaction, Xu Lan looked for a ladder and picked up a bamboo pole to hit the autumn chestnut on the tree.

Steadily stepping on the branches, he inadvertently glanced at the Dong family next door, the courtyard was cleaned up, no one, a few chickens were looking for food everywhere, a thick rope pulled up, drying three or two changes of clothes, one of which was a stone blue satin embroidered crane pattern straight jacket, obviously worn by rich and noble people, he was dark, the candle in the window was orange and yellow, reflecting the figure shaking, as if reading a book.

There were stumbling footsteps walking, and it was Aunt Dong who sat on the bench under the porch and began to peel beans.

Xu Lan retracted her mind, hit a few poles towards the branches, and heard the sound of the sieve falling to the ground, and the maid and the maid came forward and smashed open the shell along the crack, revealing the red-skinned chestnut.

The kitchen wafted out a strong smell of stewed chicken, overflowing the entire yard, Xu Lan sniffed, he felt a little hungry.

Suddenly, Aunt Dong poked her head out of the wall, and asked with a smile on her face: "What are you stewing, it is so fragrant that people drool." “

Xian Yuecha came out of the kitchen with a sea bowl and greeted her: "The fat chicken sent by the eldest mother, my grandfather stewed it with chestnuts, this bowl is for you to eat and play, don't dislike it." “

That Xu Lan stepped on the wooden ladder and handed it to Aunt Dong.

Aunt Dong thanked her repeatedly, took it and went to Xinggao Cailie.

..

Tanabata passed in a blink of an eye.

The Zhaojiao fire case finally has eyebrows, and the emperor personally drafted the decree: Since I succeeded to the throne, I thought deeply about governing the country, reused the old ministers, and then the criminal department Shangshu Zhou Chen, coerced personal grievances, ignored Xu Shoufu's orders, and tortured Shen Zetang as ruthlessly as a wolf and tiger, and finally died of overdose, he did not repent, covered up the crime, and colluded with the Zhao prison officials to set fire to the corpse in the middle of the night. Chin this. “

At the suggestion, Jinyi Wei proposed to send Zhou Chen from prison to the mansion, and patrolled more with official flags outside the mansion.

Five days later, when the autumn rain fell, Zhou Chen took a carriage with a few boxes of cages, said goodbye to his wife and concubine in tears, and was escorted out of the city gate six miles away by the brocade guard.

For a while, the capital was boiling, some praised the Son of Heaven for his uprightness, some said that Zhou Shangshu was a scapegoat, and some lamented the grievances of Shen Zetang's death.

But in the end, there was a result, the officials no longer admonished, and the people gradually calmed down.

The imperial court began to recruit troops all over the world in preparation for the reduction of feudal domains.
