Chapter 34: Don't Scare Her
"Mother, what do you mean by Concubine Jia?" Song Zhi looked at the table full of all kinds of jewelry, which were all given by Concubine Jia.
Among them, there is a hairpin flower that is particularly prominent, Song Zhi originally thought it was a real blue star flower, but later found out that it was actually carved with a particularly transparent sky blue jade. It is more delicate and realistic than Song Zhi's original blue hairpin flower.
It was rare for the Lin family to come to sit in Song Zhi's courtyard, she looked at the two plates of jewelry, picked up a Cui Tian and looked at it carefully, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Mother?" Song Zhi held his cheek with one hand, and a loose agate ring was hooked on his little finger to enjoy.
Lin felt that his little daughter had become a lot more sensible recently, so he also showed a little tone, "Concubine Jia probably treats you as her own family." ”
It's better not to say this, Song Zhi was stunned, thinking that he was looked down upon by Emperor Shun'an, and his face instantly turned three points white.
"Child, what's wrong with you?" Lin hurriedly put down the jewelry in his hand and said to Song Zhi, "The prince is outstanding in appearance and familiar with your brother, he is a good candidate who knows the roots, why are you so alarmed?" ”
"The prince?" Song Zhi repeated as if he didn't understand, "Brother Shen? ”
"Otherwise, why would Concubine Jia announce your entry into the palace? And many rewards for you? I heard her say that the Empress Dowager also wanted to see you, but she has not been in good health in the past few days, so she gave up. Lin touched Song Zhi's little face, only to see that a thin layer of powder gradually floated on this piece of cold white jade, she knew that the girl's family was thin-skinned, but she didn't continue to make fun of Song Zhi.
Song Zhi's mind was blank at this time, and his thoughts seemed to be floating outside the clouds. Song Zhi only felt that she was trapped in a soft cloud at this time, her hands and feet were weak, and Lin's voice seemed to come from a far, far away, gently sliding over her ears.
"At the last Dongxi banquet, the emperor said that Shen Shizi had also reached the age when it was time to marry, and said that our family is a loyal and brave family, and the family is right, the queen mother and Concubine Jia praised you again, and the emperor said, 'In this case, I will be a matchmaker!' Lin said something later, but Song Zhi didn't remember.
"Shizi, are you willing?" Song Zhi was silent for a long time and asked such a sentence.
Lin was stunned for a moment and said, "How can you ask like this?" She seemed to understand Song Zhi's worries, and added, "My childish child is so delicate, is she so unconfident?" ”
Song Zhi smiled reluctantly, and his heart was at a loss.
When she came back to her senses, the Lin family had been gone for a while, and Zhuyue was pulling out a delicate hairpin from her sideburns, Song Zhi looked at herself in the bronze mirror in a daze, only to feel that compared with her previous life, it seemed that nothing had changed, and it seemed that everything had changed.
Her appearance naturally hasn't changed much, but under Qin's mother's conditioning, Song Zhi's complexion has improved a lot, not to mention her complexion, even her ten nails are full and round, shining with a pearl-like luster, and her expression has also removed arrogance and shallowness, and there is only calm and tranquil emotion in her pupils.
Before the death of Song Zhi in the previous life, Shen Baiyan did not marry, and fought outside all the year round, let alone marrying, even the occasional rumors of marriage would disappear quickly, like a bubble. One of the longest rumors in the previous life is that the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo's family has Zeng Yunyi. Song Zhi had a relationship with her, she is a rare beauty, and her temperament is very soft.
But this family affair finally came to an end, except for the sudden death of Emperor Shun'an, everyone thought that Shen Baiyan was unwilling to be shackled by the rights of Jingzhong, so he refused in every possible way, but what is the truth? Except for Shen Baiyan, no one else probably knows.
So, why did you agree to this marriage with the Song family in this life?
Song Zhi looked at the clay figure doll on the table, and suddenly felt that this matter was not so incomprehensible, in her previous life, she did not have this clay figure doll, nor did she have big and small goo, nor did she have edelweiss and Tengyun. But these are all Song Zhi in this life, and one more Shen Baiyan is not so strange, right?
Song Zhi learned the sound of a cat's meow, 'meow', Edelweiss raised her head and looked at her strangely, as if she was aware of Song Zhi's restlessness at this time, and Edelweiss also called softly in response.
……
Today, Song Ling's moves were particularly cold, and Shen Baiyan knew that he was a little depressed in his heart, so the moves opened and closed, allowing Song Ling to fight enough.
"You kid, you didn't show your mouth at all, and you kidnapped my sister quietly like this! I still learned about it from my father! Song Ling's blade slashed, and an ancient tree in the courtyard was cut off a branch. The trunk of the tree fell to the ground with a loud sound, and Song Ling listened to it.
Shen Baiyan leaned on the trunk of the tree and gasped slightly, pointed to this ancient tree and said, "It is three hundred years old, and it was killed for no reason. ”
Song Ling wiped a handful of sweat beads and threw them on the ground. "Don't tell me that this is all the attention of the old emperor, if you don't want to, who will be your master?"
"I just think it's good to be your brother-in-law." Shen Baiyan was dressed in white, leaning on the brown wrinkled bark trunk, although his forehead was still sweaty, there was still a smell of fairy wind bones.
Song Ling rolled her eyes widely, and she could see clearly from a distance of three feet.
"My grandmother wanted to see her, but I was afraid that she would be shy, so I refused." Shen Baiyan said, Song Ling wanted to nod and agree, but listened to Shen Baiyan add, "Three days later, there will be a holy decree sent to the General's Mansion, let's wait until this time." ”
Song Ling picked up a stone and threw it at Shen Baiyan, Shen Baiyan didn't blink his eyes, the stone hit the trunk of the tree against his back, and there was a crisp sound of 'collapse'. "You're still in a hurry?!"
"I'm not in a hurry, it's okay to wait for another three or five years, in this matter, it's really not me who is in a hurry." Shen Baiyan's originally good mood turned sharply with these words, and even the tail note was three points colder.
"The emperor still believes in the Shen family and the Cui family, but he still has some scruples about our Song family." Although Song Ling said that he was angry with Shen Baiyan, it was only on the surface, and he also knew what the marriage between Shen Baiyan and Song Zhi meant.
"If General Song is a sharp blade in his hand, although he is a sword maker, he is also afraid of being scratched by a sharp blade." Shen Baiyan said. "The old emperor's illness is getting worse and worse, and the imperial doctor said it was poison."
Song Ling raised her head suddenly, almost spraining her neck, "What? Who did it? ”
"It doesn't matter who does it, we both have a rough idea in our hearts. This poison is amazing, if you can't find the antidote, I'm afraid you won't live long. Shen Baiyan's voice sank, the seventeenth prince Shen Ze is only a young child now, if Emperor Shun'an dies now, this throne will not be his turn no matter what, so Emperor Shun'an can't die so early.
"What kind of poison is in the emperor?" When the sweat is blown by the cold wind, the chill dissipates on the spine.
"The imperial doctor can't find out, but I feel like a foreign poison, and I'm going to go out in a few days to visit those tribes that live in other races." Shen Baiyan said.
"This is a needle in a haystack, can you find a cure?" Song Ling felt that the success rate of this method was too low.
"The imperial doctor is helpless, and even the folk traveling doctors have secretly diagnosed and treated the emperor, except for this method, I am afraid there is no other way. Is General Song going to the Western Frontier in a few days? Shen Baiyan put aside the conversation.
"Hmm. As soon as my father was not there, there were some riots in the western border from time to time, although they were suppressed, but they were still unstable in the end. My father went earlier, not wanting to delay the farmers' planting time because of these riots, and if the harvest was not good, this year would be even more chaotic. The strange thing is that the area under the jurisdiction of Song Jian was actually calm, and many nomads went to his territory. It's not that simple, there must be ghosts. Song Ling clenched her hands into fists, her forehead rubbed against her fist for a moment, "I want to follow, I want to go to the army to help my father." ”
"Song Jian has been away from Beijing for the past few days, do you know where he went?" Shen Baiyan said suddenly.
Song Ling shook his head, "It's extremely difficult to plant spies around Song Jian, and I can't touch his whereabouts." Shen Baiyan's eyes darkened slightly, and Song Ling frowned slightly, "You know? ”
Shen Baiyan nodded, "He went to Bijing and wanted to have a relationship with Gu Hansheng, the chief soldier of Bijing." ”
"Gu Hansheng? But the Zhang family's in-laws? "Song Ling knows a little bit about the connection between these powerful people." He wanted to marry Zhang Xinlan in the first place, but it was for this relationship? ”
"Nine times out of ten. However, Gu Hansheng didn't see him, after all, the concubine was still a little estranged, and he probably didn't think it was necessary. Shen Baiyan said, "However, you can also get a glimpse of it, this capital is probably not peaceful, and I will not be there during this time, so I hope you stay, Feilan will follow me, and Su Shui will stay to help you." ”
Song Ling and Shen Baiyan glanced at each other and nodded firmly, "Okay." ”
Shen Baiyan's distinct fingers rubbed at the tiger's mouth, "If the little sister is free, ask her if she can go into the palace to accompany Concubine Jia, my aunt will mention her whenever she sees me, she really likes the little sister." ”
When Concubine Jia was first favored, she was pregnant with a princess, but unfortunately she died at birth. Therefore, when I saw Song Zhi, I felt special pity for her.
Song Ling stretched out her hand and patted Shen Baiyan on the shoulder, "I'll go back and talk to her, the little sister and Concubine Jia are also quite compatible." ”
"And." Shen Baiyan said again, his expression was a little unnatural, which made Song Ling nervous.
"What else?" Song Ling sighed and urged Shen Baiyan to speak quickly.
"After the official decree of marriage is issued, my maternal grandfather's family and the Empress Dowager will want to see her first, you go back and talk to her slowly, don't scare her." Shen Baiyan actually felt that Song Zhi would not be frightened by this kind of thing, but he didn't know why he became so verbose and scrupled, and repeatedly instructed so many trivial matters.
