"I have known about Miss Pang for a long time, Qi Hui said that he treats Miss Pang as a sister, so I naturally believe him. As for who Miss Pang likes, it's Miss's own business, everything is fine now, I shouldn't bother myself. If there is anything in the future, there will be a solution. Xiangxiang is very peaceful in her heart, for the existence of Pang Qianyou, from the initial surprise to now calmly relative, occasionally jealous and coquettish towards Qi Hui, it is also deliberately fun, she doesn't think it's necessary to be uncomfortable, today with Miss Pang, she didn't deliberately do anything, on the contrary, she is full of fresh curiosity about poetry and books, and only longs for one day, to be able to catch up with Mr. Shen for half a point.

What's more important is to understand that she is not here to get along with Miss Pang, but to find a place to stay, she should be grateful to Mr. Shen and Miss Pang for taking them in, and even more grateful for the opportunity to read and write.

Shen Yan said with a smile: "They always say that only those who have poetry and books in their hearts can be humble and open-minded, but I think that Xiangxiang's tenacious personality and tolerant and open-minded mind in adversity are enough to be a teacher." ”

Xiangxiang waved his hand and said, "Sir, don't say that, I can only write a few words." ”

Shen Yan said: "Today, I suddenly know the ideals of my cousin, Pang Gongzi, and His Royal Highness, and my heart is still a little trembling at the moment, if it weren't for you really being in front of me, it would be like a dream." Before going to Beijing, I thought that there were only gentlemen here, greedy for pleasure all day long, but I didn't expect to meet such a hot-blooded and righteous young man one after another, and I felt more and more that I was narrow-minded and short-sighted, and I should take a good look at the world and see the magnificent mountains and rivers. ”

Xiangxiang looked at her stupidly, whatever Mr. said, she was so noble and dignified, she was like a person on the clouds, holy and noble, Xiangxiang even felt that it should be a person with such a temperament to really stand next to Qi Hui.

Shen Yan said again: "How big a mind can support such a grand ideal, but Xiangxiang, a little girl, can stand bravely with them." What they want to do is the most deviant thing in the eyes of the world, even to the point of paying for their lives, and I never thought that I would meet such a person in my life. Now I feel more and more that it is good to come to the capital. ”

Xiangxiang unconsciously, has learned to stand like Shen Yan, although she is tall, but the noble temperament can not be reflected by a single action, she always feels that she is missing something, and deliberately learns the posture of Mr., her body quickly stiffens and tired, and it is really different from her usual habits.

Shen Yan had already sensed that Xiangxiang was learning from herself, she guessed that Xiangxiang wanted to be a woman who could match the second prince, but being too impatient would make her very hard, Shen Yan stepped forward and took Xiangxiang's hand and said: "If you want to learn, I will teach you, what you learn, it depends on whether you really want to learn and enlighten, or just want to make yourself look like that." Xiangxiang, let's do happy things, don't put the cart before the horse. And even if you read all the books here, you won't become Shen Yan, you will always be yourself. ”

Xiangxiang pursed her lips, Mr.'s hands were soft and warm, they were not much different in age, Mr. seemed to be younger than Xi Niang, Xiangxiang felt that she was very lucky, she could always meet good people.

"Reading is a painstaking effort, read a thousand times and its meaning is self-revealed, since you are literate, memorize this Analect yourself, and when you can memorize it backwards, I will explain it to you." Shen Yan now really feels that she is teaching and educating people, and warned Xiangxiang a little seriously, "If you are lazy, the rules in the study are very strict, and you can memorize them within three days." ”

Xiangxiang looked at the book in his hand in a panic, felt a little embarrassed, and asked timidly: "Then in the past three days, can you come to ask Mr.?" I'm afraid...... There are words I don't recognize. ”

Shen Yan said happily: "Just come and ask, I will listen to your endorsement in three days, if I can't pass this level, I won't be my student, just like Juan'er, I can only do rough work." ”

Xiangxiang hurriedly said: "You must recite it." ”

At this time, there were footsteps in front of the door, Shen Yan let go of Xiangxiang's hand, it was Juan Er who brought the people of Pang Mansion to deliver food, Xiangxiang hid the book in his arms and stepped forward to help. After setting up the dining table, Shen Yan picked out a few things she didn't want to eat, and asked Juan Er to take them to eat with Xiangxiang, and the two of them set up a small table outside the door and sat on the threshold to eat. Xiangxiang asked Juan'er: "Don't you have to go to the young lady to serve?" ”

Juan Er hurriedly swallowed the things in her mouth and said: "Miss didn't have the habit of being surrounded by people when she was at home, I know that you have a meal in Jian's Mansion, more than a dozen people are waiting inside and out, and the girls who serve the dishes are walking in rows. Every day, eat a meal, wash your hands before a meal, rinse your mouth after a meal, a girl holds a thing, a basin, a towel, a teacup, a spittoon, and more than a dozen people serve one person, which is so cumbersome that it scares people to death. It's also called my young lady smart, and she quickly gets used to it, and if she is someone else, it's time to make jokes. ”

Xiangxiang immediately remembered that she was now from Jian's Mansion, and she couldn't show curiosity and freshness to Juan'er's words, so she responded with a smile, but saw Juan'er's brows furrowed and wrinkled, and suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks, pulled her and said: "I see that you are also a decent person, we are about the same age, but I have been with Miss for more than ten years, don't blame me for saying some things politely." Xiangxiang, don't look at my young lady's good temper, you will have no rules if you feel warm in the future, especially don't ask her why she came to the capital, why she didn't marry at the age of twenty, if you make the young lady angry, I'm not welcome. I know that the descendants of your Jian family are talking behind your back. ”

Xiangxiang never thought about these words, and when Juan Er mentioned this, she felt a little curious, but since Juan Er said that she couldn't ask, she would never talk too much. But Juan Er picked up the dishes and chopsticks again, and sighed: "My young lady, it's not easy. ”

Xiangxiang pulled the rice in the bowl and thought, Juan'er, didn't you say that you can't mention it?

After the meal, Juan'er went to serve the young lady, and Xiangxiang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, waiting for the people of Pang Mansion to come and get them. When I was waiting in front of the door with a food box, I couldn't help but miss Concubine Xian, and I don't know if my mother had eaten at this time, I don't know if the food sent to the cold palace was cold or hot, and without her care, would my mother's health be worse?

When the tears were rolling in her eyes, the lights in front of the courtyard were bright, and more than a dozen old girls surrounded Miss Pang to return, she was not in a bad mood, and when she saw Xiangxiang waiting at the door, she ordered her subordinates to quickly take the things away, and asked with a smile: "Where is your young lady?" ”

After that, he came to Shen Yan's house and said loudly: "The day after tomorrow, my mother will invite those ladies and ladies to come to the house for a small gathering, and she will invite her husband to attend with me, saying that with you by her side, she will not be afraid of me messing around." ”

Shen Yan said: "It's not difficult to attend, it's just that I don't like to deal with people." ”

sat down unceremoniously, took Shen Yan's tea that had not yet moved, and said casually: "With me here, I won't let those women with broken mouths bother you." I still have to do the nonsense, but this time I have to be smarter, and don't let my father and mother doubt me. ”

Xiangxiang and Juan Er were standing aside, she saw Juan Er covering her mouth and smiling, as if she knew something, and Shen Yan asked, "Why do you have to mess around?" ”

Qianyou said seriously: "My brother doesn't want to marry a wife now, he has more important things to do, I promised to stick a knife in her ribs, and I want to do good things to the end." ”

Xiangxiang peeked and looked at the shallow carefully, gorgeous clothes, charming face, why is the dignified prime minister's daughter, full of rivers and lakes, and the words of a knife in both ribs, should the eldest lady of the daughter say? But in her eyes, she didn't feel strange at all, it didn't conflict with her noble identity, and there was no difference between sitting with her husband at the moment.

"Xiangxiang?" Qianyou suddenly called her name, Xiangxiang was stunned, and saw the eldest lady running up, and said happily, "You have a face, I was trying to find a face." The day after tomorrow, you come to help me do something, and it becomes a good thing for me to reward you. ”

Shen Yan felt that it was inappropriate and wanted to stop it, but Qianyou said first: "If I don't help my brother, no one will help him, and I don't like those girls, let alone expect him to like them." My brother is such a good person, and he has to be the best woman in the world to be worthy. ”

Shen Yan glanced at Xiangxiang cautiously, but Xiangxiang nodded, for her, if she could help Pang Gongzi do something, she was also willing to stick a knife in both sides.

Shen Yan secretly thought that Xiangxiang and Qianyou would come together as if they were arranged in the dark, and the two of them were obviously very compatible together.

At this moment, Qianyou said to Shen Yan again: "I want to go out tonight, and I will be back soon, Mr. will go to my house and cover for me, okay?" I've listened to you these days, everything is fine, you promised to help me, I want to see a friend tonight, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Xiangxiang was listening on the side, she felt that Qianyou must be going to see Xi Niang, would she mention herself? And Xi Niang doesn't know if she is in the Prime Minister's Mansion now, will she ......

"Go early and come back early." But Mr. Shen agreed, Xiangxiang's heart sank, and he explained his identity, but he was more free and easy.

Xiangxiang's worries, Qi Hui had already considered it, and he had something else to ask Xi Niang, she hoped that Xi Niang could inquire about some past events from those old ministers. But Xi Niang is a fireworks woman after all, if you want to really get close to these old ministers, you still need to get through the relationship from all aspects, and do nothing to make Pang Jun suspicious, there will be no result for a while, Xi Niang has to calculate carefully.

In this way, she had no time to receive Qianyou, and Qianyou easily went out and pounced.

This night, it was the first time that Xiangxiang left the imperial city in a real sense, and the cold palace returned to the situation where the mother and son depended on each other, the prince sent guards to handle the cold palace layer by layer, and he did not find any trace of Xiangxiang for several days, at this moment he didn't know that Xiangxiang was really not in the cold palace, and tonight Qi Hui suddenly appeared in the East Palace, but he told him that he was leaving the capital for a while.

Facing the prince's questioning, Qi Hui said very calmly: "Pang Jun has been an official for decades, and the army is also full of his forces, there is really a confrontation one day, Your Highness is not afraid that Pang Jun will force the palace to kill the king?" ”
