Shou Mei stood on the steps, and a strange look flashed in her eyes: "Early this morning, I heard that Aunt Xiao Bao hanged herself." ”

Shen Hao's eyebrows furrowed.

Yesterday it was clearly tied up and taken into custody, where did she come from to commit suicide with her hands?

My heart moved, and I asked, "What about the two daughters-in-law?" ”

Shou Mei's eyebrows trembled slightly: "It was sold, and the two families sold it to the coal kiln together." ”

Shen Hao's hand shook slightly, and he immediately straightened his back, and said coldly: "When you think about it, you will be born." It's all self-inflicted. ”

As he spoke, his eyes looked at the endless sky.

Shou Mei walked down the steps, held back her excitement, and whispered to Shen Hao: "Second Miss, the slave maid wants to ask the old lady to show her and marry tomorrow." ”

Shen Hao was surprised and sighed.

How did you remember to tell me about this to a little girl who had not yet come out of the cabinet?

Shou Mei lowered his head, but he still couldn't stop his whole body from releasing some unknown emotions: "The slave wants to marry an honest man in Zhuangzi, and there are many brothers in the family, so he doesn't need to stay to support his father." ”

Shen Hao blinked.

Tell me? Did you want me to find you your in-laws?

Don't understand.

Linglong was surprised and delighted when she heard it, and couldn't help but rush over and hug Shou Mei's arm, and lowered her happy voice: "Good sister, do you want to wait for our young lady and Lu, be a daughter-in-law accompanying the room, and follow the young lady?" ”

Shou Mei blushed, but hummed softly.

Shen Hao looked at Shou Mei's radiant appearance and suddenly realized.

Shou Mei is, this thing is too happy to do this thing, too happy, so I am not willing to live around the jewelry rouge in the inner courtyard anymore!

"Of course, great! However, it still depends on the grandmother's meaning. Sister Shoumei, thank you, I remember. ”

Shen Hao grabbed her hand and shook it, very excited.

Shou Mei saw that Shen Hao agreed, breathed a sigh of relief, became closer to Linglong, and pinched her face with her hand.

On the left and right were servants passing by, looking at them curiously.

Shen Hao hurriedly went.

……

……

Boiled stone Curie.

Shen Xinyan and Mrs. Meng sat opposite each other under the window, talking hand in hand.

Jasmine timidly served them tea.

Qing Ming and Changqin sat respectfully outside the outer door, listening to the call.

Mrs. Meng lowered her head and held the chess pieces, her eyes looking at the chessboard.

His gaze wandered, and inadvertently fell on Shen Xinyan's hand.

The hand was extremely thin, with distinct bones, faint green tendons, and a deep scar on the tiger's mouth.

He came back from thousands of miles away, running non-stop in one breath.

It was a mark of the reins.

This person attaches great importance to affection.

Without waiting for the end of the game, Shen Xinyan looked up at the sky, stood up, tidied up his robe, and bowed: "The little girl is pampered and stubborn, and her temperament is a little biased. Madame is accustomed to seeing all kinds of women in the world, and she asks for cultivation. Shen was grateful. ”

Mrs. Meng looked Shen Xinyan up and down, and smiled: "When the Golden Palace gave a banquet, although Shen Bang's eyes were not as dazzling as the champion, nor as good as the flowers, but he took up the word calm. The Queen Mother remembers it very clearly. So when I was about to leave the palace, the Queen Mother was very relieved to hear that I was coming to Shilang's Mansion.

"Now, I am with the old lady of your mansion, but I can be regarded as a guest and host. Shen Shilang can rest assured that he will do his best to take care of Ling Ai. ”

Shen Xinyan bowed his body to thank him, said goodbye, and when he was about to go out, he suddenly turned around and asked, "The little girl interrogated the prisoners, and even blindfolded them for eight days and was not allowed to see the light. Did her wife teach her this method? ”

Mrs. Meng raised her eyebrows: "What? The second lady personally interrogated the prisoner?! ”

Shen Xinyan glanced at her steadily, nodded, said goodbye, shook his sleeves, and went away.

The obsidian jade chess piece in Mrs. Meng's hand tapped lightly on the chessboard, thoughtfully.

On this chessboard, white has quietly closed and cut, but has not yet begun to kill all sides.

Hmm, I seem, I've already lost?

……

……

Shen Xinyan hurried to accompany Mrs. Wei to eat the morning food, and hurriedly entered the palace.

The emperor asked him about the academic style of the two students, and told him many other things.

Shen Xinyan has always been comfortable in this matter in the prelude to Jun, but he has a somewhat embarrassed look, which is generally done.

Seeing that noon was approaching, the emperor wanted to give him food.

Shen Xinyan hurriedly excused himself: "The young son of the minister only went, and he didn't eat much, so I am afraid that the monarch will lose his manners." Besides, the trivial matters at home are complicated, and I have to leave Beijing in three or five days......"

The emperor was a person who paid great attention to etiquette, and when he heard his resignation, he was even more pleased, so he ordered: "In this way, take three copies of the lipstick and face fat made in the palace two days ago." ”

It is an old practice of the court to give the ministers lipstick and wax grease on the day of the palace.

Now that the emperor wants to take three copies, he gave Shen Xinyan and his wife and mother who have the orders of the imperial court in advance.

This is a gift from the emperor himself, which is naturally different from the grace of the entourage. Shen Xinyan hurriedly thanked him.

The emperor paused, as if remembering something, and said, "Take one more." That one is compared to the county lord's regulations. ”

As soon as Shen Xinyan heard it, he knew that this was for Shen Hao, and he hurriedly said: "The daughter of the family is already arrogant, and if she gets His Majesty's mercy, I am afraid that she will be even more arrogant." ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Arrogant? Ai Qing Hugh should be humble. I've heard that Miss Shen Er is very good. ”

Shen Xin stopped talking and shook his head with a wry smile.

The grand eunuch of the Inner Servant Province, Father-in-law Lu, stepped forward, still smiled and gave the four rewards to Shen Xinyan: "Shen Shilang has worked hard, Your Majesty's reward is to reward you for your merits." As for the women in the house, they are only naked. ”

Shen Xinyan looked like he had been mentioned, uh, ah, and hurriedly bowed: "The minister is stupid." ”

After resigning from the emperor, at the gate of the palace, he thanked Father-in-law Luchun again: "The general has to have Father-in-law Green to mention it, otherwise, the lower officials are afraid that they will live up to the good intentions of the saints." ”

Lu Chun smiled with a spring breeze: "Shen Shilang is a person in the heart of the saint, the old slave is a round sentence, don't think I'm poor and tongue-in-cheek." ”

Shen Xinyan heard his words, cold sweat broke out, and he laughed haha: "Father-in-law Green is promoted to the lower official." ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of boots all the way, and a young man coughed softly.

Shen Xinyan and Lu Chun looked up.

A tall, thin young man had just turned the corner of the hall and walked over.

The young man is fair-skinned and handsome, with picturesque eyebrows. His hair was tied with a black scarf, a red round-necked robe, and black leather six-fold boots. It is the characters who are romantic and radiant.

Father-in-law Green narrowed his eyes with a smile, glanced at Shen Xinyan, and said meaningfully: "Look, the older our third prince gets, the more he looks like Concubine Ji back then, so handsome!" In terms of age, she is two years older than your daughter, right? ”

Shen Xinyan's eyes were slightly gloomy, but he didn't smile.

The third prince, Qin Lang, was full of energy, walked up to Shen Xinyan, looked at it, and asked uncertainly, "Is it Shen Shilang of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Shen Xinyan smiled and bowed his hand: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince." ”

Qin Lang politely returned the favor: "Shen Shilang is good." ”

Shen Xinyan bowed, and then said, "I was about to apologize to the third prince." ”
