Chapter 156: Frost Pine Branch
At this meal, Lin was so restless that she barely sandwiched a shrimp and ate it, and couldn't help asking, "Child, don't you want to go over and take a look?" ”
Song Zhi was feeding Song Tian egg custard, and when he heard the words, he said, "Mother, it's really okay." If someone visits to spy on Jing Yu's situation when you return home later, you will treat it as if Jing Yu is seriously injured, and that's it. ”
"Childlike words! Phew! Lin felt that Song Zhi's words were unlucky, and said busily.
Song Zhi said angrily: "How old are your daughters?" You also said that girls are unscrupulous, it's really a joke, and my little sister is going to laugh at me. ”
Song Zhi was so casual, but it also made the Lin family not so nervous, and after the meal, Song Tian and the Lin family were sent back from the side door by the meteor.
Song Zhi still stayed in his yard and did not go to Songwu to get involved. Song Zhi asked him to bring the unfinished crane month by month, and continued to embroider it himself, his eyes were shining, and he looked at it without blinking.
Zhu Yue said: "Miss is really careful, and when she grows up, she will definitely be good at female popularity." ”
"If that's the case, I just hope she doesn't laugh at her mother's craftsmanship." Song Zhi looked at Ru'er and smiled slightly, his expression was quiet and beautiful.
"Ma'am." The water chestnut shouted outside the door.
Song Zhi nodded slightly at Zhuyue, and Zhuyue went to open the door. The water chestnut walked in with a drooping face, and the word 'displeasure' was almost engraved on the door of his mind.
Song Zhi glanced at her and said, "I didn't tell you to go, you have to go, what did you hear?" Let's hear it. ”
"I won't say it, so that Mrs. will be upset when she listens." The water chestnut walked to the cradle and picked up a rattle to tease the brute.
"Okay, let's not talk about it then." Song Zhi didn't seem to be curious at all, and only embroidered his crane wholeheartedly.
"Ma'am." The water chestnut was in a hurry, "You really don't want to know?" ”
Covering his face with a fan and smiling, he continued to fan Song Zhi again.
"Okay," Song Zhi stroked the embroidery bandage, added the last few stitches, and said, "Say it quickly." The province is suffocated. ”
The water chestnut didn't care about being laughed at, and said in one breath like a bamboo tube pouring beans, "It's not that old lady Cui, seeing that you are not there, she said a lot of bad things about you." I wondered, how could she have so many tricks of swearing without dirty words? ”
"What did you say?" Song Zhi handed the finished embroidery bandage to Zhuyue, and got up to pick up the rattle dropped by the water chestnut to tease the barbarian.
"I really can't say this, and Madame doesn't have to know." Water chestnut shook his head, it's good that the meaning is there, there is no need to say it too clearly, which makes Song Zhi unhappy.
"Okay." Song Zhi said indifferently, "Anyway, what Old Madam Cui can say, I can guess anything." ”
Water chestnut and moon looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
The crisp sound of the rattle made Man'er giggle, but after laughing for a while, she got bored with this thing, how Song Zhi shook this rattle, Man'er just blinked.
"This little girl still likes the new and hates the old." Song Zhi put the rattle aside and nodded Man'er's forehead, but this small action made Man'er 'giggle'.
Shen Baiyan didn't return to the courtyard until two hours later, and when he saw him for the first time, he was startled. I saw that his face was dark yellow, and his lips were bloodless.
Seeing the frightened look of the moon, Shen Baiyan wiped his lips with the back of his hand, revealing a hint of ruddyness.
Zhuyue lowered her head and said respectfully: "The prince is back, and the slave maid asked him to go and fetch hot water." ”
"Well, it's time to pass the food." Shen Baiyan was a little hungry, if he waited for the hungry to scream, it would be indecent.
When Song Zhi raised his eyes to see him, he was also stunned, and then said with a smile: "You go to see the Cui family like this, and no one believes you when you say that your body is safe." ”
Meteor twisted a hot handkerchief for Shen Baiyan and handed it to him.
Shen Baiyan took it and rubbed it roughly on his face, his face was still white and yellow, he didn't care, he just felt that it was okay.
Song Zhi glanced at him, forced a smile, and let Meteor twist a hot veil, took it himself, and carefully wiped Shen Baiyan's eyebrow bone and jaw.
Song Zhi wiped Shen Baiyan's lips twice, and said with a smile: "I used to think that you were a meticulous person, but now I know that you are also a rough man!" ”
"Madame has already deceived her, why are you pretending to be so particular?" Shen Baiyan seemed to be a little sleepy, his eyelashes became heavy, as if he couldn't support it, and his pupils were half-covered with emptiness.
"What's wrong? You look more tired than after the battle. Song Zhi held Shen Baiyan's cheeks with both hands and asked gently.
"It's tiring to talk to people." Shen Baiyan closed his eyes, and simply put the power of the entire head on Song Zhi's hand, and rubbed it.
Song Zhi looked around, only to see that the meteor didn't know when he went out. So she poked her head over and kissed Shen Baiyan on the face.
Shen Baiyan still didn't open his eyes, just hooked his lips and smiled very satisfied.
"The Cui family moved out of the old lady, but they were in a hurry?" Song Zhi touched Shen Baiyan's sideburns and said.
"Naturally, I'm in a hurry." Shen Baiyan exhaled softly, and Song Zhi only felt that his palms were crispy and numb, "A few days ago, they may have been secretly rejoicing, but today, the Empress Dowager Jia'an is full of contempt." ”
"What? But what news did Fei Lan report? Song Zhi touched Shen Baiyan's ears, Shen Baiyan seemed to tremble slightly, lifted his eyelids and glanced at Song Zhi, his eyes were slightly dangerous and ambiguous.
"Well, several ministers under the Twelve Princes sent several letters this morning, saying that Cui Daowu had violated the order and encroached on the fertile land on the outskirts of Beijing. In fact, this matter is not big, it is not small. Several big-headed soldiers got drunk and went to the people's homes to make trouble, Cui Daowu was not the mastermind, but he concealed the matter and did not report it, so he was caught. In addition to Cui Daowu, they also moved a few ministers who clinged to the Cui family, probably to test the water. ”
Shen Baiyan said softly, Song Zhi could listen attentively, and said, "The Twelve Princes are so anxious? ”
"If I really have an accident, the forces above the court will definitely be redistributed, and he is just throwing stones to ask for directions." Shen Baiyan said without hesitation.
Song Zhi gently rubbed his neck, comfortably making Shen Baiyan almost fall asleep.
His voice became lower and lower, but he still made Song Zhi hear clearly, "As soon as I go back today, the Cui family will release a word, saying that I am all right, and I am only slightly injured." They now know that compared to those fierce beasts and poisonous snakes that are secretly detecting, I am a door god. ”
Shen Baiyan expected it well, and on the second day, there was a holy decree from the palace to canonize Man'er as the county lord, and he gave the treasure order.
Song Zhi hugged the barbarian and saluted, only to see the old eunuch smiling all over his face, shouting at Song Zhi and asking for warmth, and desperately trying to find out something from Song Zhi's expression.
Song Zhi finally left the old eunuch perfunctorily, and when he returned to the house, he saw Shen Baiyan reading the stack of papers that Fei Lan had sent him.
"You pretended to be seriously injured, maybe it was just to earn the name of the county lord for your daughter?" Song Zhi joked. With a wave of her hand, she asked Moon to take the decree and the gifts she had sent to the storeroom and put them away.
"What is the county lord? If you don't have a powerful family, it's not just a false name? My daughter, even if she doesn't have the title of this county lord, no one in the capital dares to bully. Shen Baiyan said with confidence, he opened a book, glanced at it a few times, and frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" Song Zhi saw that his expression was different and asked.
"Feilan found out where the gunpowder came from." Shen Baiyan's brows were deeply locked, and his face became more and more unpleasant.
Song Zhi didn't ask, just waited for Shen Baiyan to finish reading, Shen Baiyan closed the paperwork and said, "It's related to the eldest princess." ”
"What?" Song Zhi never thought that it would be related to this person, Shen Xueran has been much more low-key in recent years, and Tao Wanrong is also rare. "How so?"
"It's not clear, but if you go along the vine and check it, sooner or later you will find the location of the rat burrow." Shen Baiyan looked a little upset, and Song Zhi was keenly aware of a trace of disgust in his emotions, and he didn't know why.
Song Zhi looked at his expression, and saw that his eyebrows were solemn, and he was quite cold.
"No wonder you were injured this time, everyone in the capital knows that according to the princess's temperament, she should have come to see you early, but she was so quiet, so she only sent someone to greet her. Do you say, is it because of the weakness of the thief's heart? ”
Shen Baiyan didn't speak, his eyes were a little misty, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Song Zhi leaned forward, knelt on his lap, and looked at him with wide eyes.
With such a posture, how could Shen Baiyan still ignore this delicate little girl, Shen Baiyan suddenly arched his body and hugged Song Zhi up.
"Yikes!" Song Zhi screamed softly.
Seeing that Shen Baiyan was not walking towards the house, but towards the outside, Song Zhi was ashamed and annoyed, and smashed Shen Baiyan on the shoulder with his small fist.
The first person I met was month by month, month by month, first stunned, and then very decisively walked to the side and turned his back.
The other maids did the same, but Song Zhi was still shy and couldn't do it, so he buried the whole person in Shen Baiyan's chest.
Shen Baiyan's footsteps were very steady, and after a while, he lightly put Song Zhi down, and Song Zhi stood still in a daze, only to find that Shen Baiyan had brought her to Shen Changxing's old residence.
Song Zhi had passed by here before, but he felt disrespectful to his ancestors, so he didn't rush in.
As Shen Baiyan lit the candles one by one, the room lit up little by little.
Shen Baiyan sat down on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand and touched the mattress, only to feel dry, and knew that since Aunt Mo left, Song Zhi still ordered someone to be responsible for cleaning this place.
"Sit." Shen Baiyan patted the position on his side and said to Song Zhi.
His face is half in the light, and generally in the shadows, and it looks mysterious and handsome.
As if bewitched, Song Zhi walked over, sat down beside him, and then lay on the mattress side by side.
A smell of frost pine branches slowly enveloped Song Zhi.
