Shun Yu tucked the soft hair of his cheeks into the Confucian scarf, raised his eyes to look at Xu Lan's strong face, pursed his lips and smiled: "After the Luming banquet is over tomorrow, you will wait for me in the arrow garden at two o'clock in the evening." ”

Xu Lan looked down at her little face, her eyes were rippling, hidden charming, and she smiled.

Bai Mei ..... How? He was suspicious of himself, and he condensed carefully, and his calm and light appearance was no different from the past.

"Good!" Xu Lan readily agreed: "If you don't come, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless." With that, he wiped his fingertips on her lips.

"What are you doing?" Shun Yu slapped his hand. Xu Lan sucked her fingertips into her mouth, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Love persimmons? A few days ago, I laid a lot of persimmons in my house, and my mother dried them into frosted persimmons, and I will give you a pack. ”

"If you don't love it, you eat it yourself." Shun Yu wiped her lips with the back of her hand and swallowed her saliva by the way.

Walked back to Jixian Gate, met with the reporter, and instructed him to attend the Luming banquet at noon tomorrow at noon, Shun Yu responded, and the reporter briefly explained a few words, and left in a hurry after receiving the happy money.

Shun Yu went to Song Mu and said respectfully: "Tomorrow's Luming banquet, Xie Yuan can invite one or two scholars to the banquet and worship, I don't know if Lord Song is willing?" ”

Song Mu secretly said that his children in this life can be taught, but he still follows the rules and understands etiquette, so he agreed to come down.

Shun Yu thanked him, went to Liu Haiqiao again, and smiled at him: "I also reserve a seat for Mr., Mr. Zhi is indifferent to fame and fortune, and does not love the prosperity of the feast, but Xie Yuan is your student, so you should be patient." “

Liu Haiqiao was slightly stunned, he never thought that Shun Yu would invite him to a banquet, there are a lot of doctors here, he is just an ordinary scholar.

"Don't you want to, sir?" Shun Yu saw that he looked uncertain and a little disappointed.

Liu Haiqiao coughed his throat and said with a stern face: "Go and go, why do you talk so much nonsense." ”

Shun Yu pursed his lips and smiled, the instructors dispersed, and Fu Heng gathered around to congratulate him and not mention it for the time being.

.......................

Shen Zetang returned to Qitong Courtyard, took a half-new blue straight jacket, and went straight to the bathhouse.

Earlier, he had asked Shen Rong to go back to the house first to arrange for him to wash.

In the few days that he was locked in the hospital, he was busy reading the file and reviewing the review, and he hurriedly brought the washing, which was a last resort.

He has always been clean and fresh, and he doesn't like the smell of excessive sweat on his body.

When you enter the bath room, the pool is steaming, and you can test the temperature of the water with your fingers, which is slightly hot to wash away the heavy tiredness.

Slowly took off the straight jacket on his body, and then the underwear, his hand had reached the edge of the pants around his waist, and suddenly he looked at the curtain vigilantly.

"Come in, don't hide." Second Master Shen's voice was not hurried or slow, and he couldn't hear joy or anger.

After a moment of silence, the curtain was lifted, and a maid came in timidly with a snow-white cotton towel, her eyebrows and eyes were very delicate, and she was a beautiful embryo.

"The old lady asked you to come?" Second Master Shen smiled gently, although he was only wearing white pants and bare chest, he was still very elegant.

The maid blushed and said, "The slave is here to serve the second master for bathing." ”

"I'm used to being alone, you go out!" Second Master Shen's tone was very rusty, with unquestionable majesty.

The maid didn't dare to stay, put the cotton towel on the back of the chair with trembling hands, and ran away like a salute.

Shen Rong was standing in front of the corridor, and when he saw Shen Erye coming out of the bath room, he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Second Master, Shen Huan is already waiting in the study." “

Second Master Shen commanded: "I'll go to the old lady first." After a pause, he said lightly: "The guards in front of the bath room are all replaced." ”

After finishing speaking, he walked through the garden along the corridor, and soon entered the Fushan Hall.

A few Bodhi trees in the courtyard are moved from the abandoned house in Chunshu Hutong, even if it is a warm autumn sun, but there is no intention of withering, just like a monk who has attained the Tao as quiet and solemn.

A few girls were muttering and laughing on the porch, seeing his clear figure approaching, busy opening the curtains, someone had already reported to the house that Shen Erye was here.

Shen Zetang entered the room and saw the old lady sitting on a low couch, with a small table of fragrant tea, a few plates of osmanthus cakes and moon cakes and other snacks in front of her.

He also got on the low couch and sat face to face with the old lady, and the girl came to pour tea and quietly retreated.

"You have never returned to the Mid-Autumn Festival for the main exam this time." The old lady handed him a piece of moon cake: "You can eat another piece with me." ”

Shen Zetang took it, looking a little helpless: "Mother knows that I can't eat sweets, if I really eat them, you will stop you." I know that you are angry with me in your heart, but my son is in the officialdom, how can he have any freedom. ”

The old lady was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "It's not for me to be angry, it's for poor Lili, looking at the Mid-Autumn Festival, my brothers and sisters are accompanied by their parents, and I cried for half a night looking for my father here." “

Seeing that Shen Zetang lowered her eyes and was silent, she seemed to be talking to herself: "The strange child who hurts people, knowing that I don't like to mention her mother, I didn't say a word." After so many years, you should also make a plan for yourself and Lili. “

"Please mother, don't send the maid to my room again." Shen Zetang smiled slightly: "Now it is an eventful time, and when everything is calmed down, I will definitely give my mother an explanation." “

The old lady looked up at him in surprise, and saw that there was a rare touch of tenderness between his eyebrows, and her heart instantly rejoiced.

..........................

Shen Huan, Xu Jing and Shen Rong were in the study, waiting for Second Master Shen to come.

Shen Huan had just come back from Suzhou, and he was just eating noodles and drinking soup, he was tired and hungry, and everyone was black and thin.

There was also a Xu Jing next to him who didn't let him feel better, and asked him why he went to Suzhou?

Shen Huan first prevaricated, then looked left and right to talk about it, no matter how perfunctory, put down the bowl to wipe his mouth, and hiccuped and laughed: "The second master is not allowed to say, how dare I leak half a word, if you are curious, ask him yourself." “

Xu Jing's eyes were instantly unfathomable, and he secretly thought that this matter was really strange, Shen Er had never shied away from him in all matters inside and outside.

How can you suddenly be so cautious this time!

It seems that you can't eat hot tofu if you're in a hurry, and this matter has to be discussed in the long run.

I just heard Shen Rong muttering: "Second Master Shen came out of the bath room, and asked me to get rid of the guards guarding the door, and I don't know why." ”

Xu Jing and Shen Huan looked at each other and smiled, presumably the old lady gave Shen Er peach blossoms again.

While he was talking, he suddenly heard footsteps outside, the door curtain was raised by the guards, and Shen Erye walked in wearing a blue straight jacket.

He sat down and took a sip of tea, and first asked Xu Jing if he had something to do.

Xu Jing stepped forward and said: "The second master has been away for a few days, and officials from various ministries have quietly come to hand over the post, such as ........!" “

Second Master Shen frowned and interrupted him and asked, "How many posts have you handed over?" “

"There are about fourteen or fifteen posts ........!" Xu Jing was about to say, but was interrupted by Shen Erye again: "I know!" ”

Turning to ask Shen Rong if he had something to do, Shen Rong shook his head.

Second Master Shen looked at Shen Huan, and turned to Xu Jing and Shen Rong and said, "You two go out first, I have something important to discuss with Shen Huan." “

Xu Jing couldn't believe his ears, what else was more important than the fourteen or fifteen posts in his hand?
