It's already the winter solstice these days, and a thin layer of snow is floating in the sky.

By the time I left the house, there was already a thick layer. Sheng Feifei went out first, she always likes to wear some colorful clothes, but today for some reason, she is very plain, combing her slanted bun, and wearing hairpins in her ears. It is less delicate than before, but a little more dignified and elegant.

I also saw Ruan's cover for her and what to tell her in her ear. Thinking about today's situation, I figured out some clues.

Sheng Feifei got into the carriage, and Ruan Shi asked people to drive the sedan chair and was about to go to the Song Mansion. But suddenly the sound of gongs and drums came from around, it was lively, Ruan's brows were slightly furrowed, and the housekeeper next to him came over to inform Sheng'er, "It's those lifters, who are parading the streets today." ”

"Didn't the champion Tanhua pass a few days ago?" Ruan Shi thought about the movement of the previous three days, and he was a little puzzled, and it was not as lively as it was today.

"Today is the fourth-place Chuan Yu Lord, a young talent." The butler said beside him.

Just saying this, Ruan Shi understood in his heart. It is not easy to enter the imperial examination, it is difficult to come out of a poor family for decades, even if it is not so easy to get a high door, tens of thousands of people in the world go to the exam, and among these tens of thousands of people, only less than 100 people are selected every three years, it is conceivable that most of the 100 people are experienced and have taken the exam many times.

There are not many geniuses in this world, like the champion Lang Tanhualang a few days ago, all of them are middle-aged men. Even if she is personable, it is not the main goal of the little girls to catch her son-in-law, although the reputation of this rumor is not as good as the top three, but he is a young talent, and his future is also calm.

"Let's let go first, the province has been collided."

Nguyen gave the order to go down, and the subordinates did not move first. Seeing that a column of people had already walked towards this side, and another column of people branched, Sheng Mingzhu looked at the person who was at the beginning, and was about to take a closer look, but the person had already got off the horse. He wore a red robe and looked in high spirits.

"I've seen Miss Three."

Chen Cen got off the horse, he hadn't seen each other for a long time, and his eyes looked a little excited, "Is the third young lady going out?" ”

Sheng Mingzhu knew about Chen Cen High School from Sheng Qian, and guessed that it was also these days, so he looked at him with a smile, "I was about to go out, and I haven't had time to congratulate you yet." Are you packing up in Fuzhong now? "Chen Cen didn't sign the deed of identity when he entered the government, and with the law of the Great Wei, if he was not innocent, he could not participate in the imperial examination. Sheng Mingzhu thought that he should come back to pack his things, maybe he would go back to Bingzhou to pick up his mother soon.

Chen Cen hung his head, "This trip is dedicated to visiting adults and aunts, if it weren't for the grace of the house, the villain would never be where he is now." ”

Sheng Mingzhu's brows furrowed slightly, she knew that Chen Cen was grateful. But now that there are so many people around, if he doesn't hide it at all, others will know that he has been a servant in the Sheng Mansion for so many years, and he will always have some thoughts in his heart, which is not a good thing for a person who has just entered the officialdom.

"Now that you are an official, you have a great future ahead of you. I know that my aunt regards you as a junior, and don't call yourself a villain in the future. ”

Chen Cen just smiled, "The grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, let alone the grace of reconstruction." If it weren't for the third lady's long-term help, how would Chen Cen get the money to read and write-" After speaking, he lifted his robe and knelt down, "Now that the appointment of the imperial court has not come down, if the third lady goes out, Chen Cen will sit on the dismount stone for the last time." ”

There are little girls holding baskets and carrying flowers next to them, and there are many people who are watching the excitement.

Chen Cen's voice was not small, and there was a lot of discussion around him for a while.

"This official is now on the rise, but he does not forget his old kindness, which is commendable......"

"How do you know that it's not a show, these officials always like to fight for their innocence......" and someone retorted, in short, there are good and bad people underneath. But because the people who came here were all ordinary people, most of them were praises.

Sheng Feifei was still in the sedan chair, but she saw Chen Cen. She rarely pays attention to her subordinates on weekdays, but she is faintly uncomfortable in her heart, so she pokes her head out slightly, only to hear a crisp female voice, "Third sister, if you want to gossip with the servants of the old days, you can go to the house, you don't have to block the road outside." ”

This is outside the gate of the Sheng Mansion, the road is wide, and no one passes by.

Sheng Mingzhu knew that she was deliberately looking for faults, and she was worried that there were many people outside, so she didn't say anything.

"If you are really grateful in your heart, when you go back to your hometown in Bingzhou, bring me more souvenirs." Sheng Mingzhu didn't make a lot of noise and was ready to get on the sedan chair. Chen Cen was about to say, but he was stopped by Gray Yi, and the two of them were waiting by Sheng Mingzhu's side, and Gray Yi naturally discovered his thoughts early.

"Lord Chen, don't bring unwarranted troubles to the third lady."

Chen Cen looked at the gray clothes. Now that he has entered the officialdom and knows Guan Ping's identity, he naturally knows who the gray clothes in the mansion are in the past six months, "I will naturally always focus on the third lady, if I find anyone with bad intentions, I will get rid of them as soon as possible." ”

The gray clothes looked indifferent, "The next person is too." ”

Gray Yi felt that it was a normal thing for him to ask for a seal to be raised, not only to help the adults watch his daughter-in-law, but also to guard against the wolf dogs coming from outside - bitter, miserable.

——

Ruan took the two to the door of Song's house, but today they were invited, but Ruan was not the only one.

There are also some women and daughters from other families, but who the main owner is today, others know in their hearts

Cheng greeted him cordially, and after walking around the garden together, after using the tea, he beckoned a few people to watch the play together. Because it was to show the family affairs of the children, before the halfway point of the play, Cheng put down the teacup, wiped his lips slightly with a handkerchief, and looked at Ruan, who seemed to be listening to the music.

"Mrs. Sheng, yesterday my distant niece and son-in-law came from Hangzhou, where Su embroidery has always been a must, he gave me a few, saying that it was Su Xiuniang's treasures, and it cost five hundred taels. I watched it for a long time yesterday, and you also know that Su Xiuniang has not been out of embroidery for a long time, and she can't tell the truth from the fake for a while, I heard that Mrs. Sheng is in charge of the family shop, and I want to have a trick on this matter. ”

Ruan knew that she had found a reason, so he also went along, "I can't talk about the trick, but I may not have seen it for a long time, but I am fortunate to say that I can't see the treasures today." ”

As he spoke, the two men got up from their positions. Ruan Shi left Cuizhu and didn't leave, and gave Cuizhu a look again.

The stage is singing new plays in the past few days, and it is being sung to the point. Sheng Mingzhu listened to those babblings, but she couldn't understand anything, but she just watched the performer's performance, crying and crying, and there was mourning next to her, and her eyes were also red.

Ruan and Cheng left, and the next seat became vacant.

Song Value was on the right hand side, Sheng Feifei had a good impression of Song Value, but she never thought that the two of them would be involved. Song was five years older than her, and when he was crowned in the capital for his poetry, she was just a babbling child, so she had the longing of a girl, but she always felt far away.

Now that the two of them are sitting so close, Song Zhi has a good skin, even if the original contact was not deep, it does not prevent Sheng Feifei from having a good impression of him.

Marrying such a person, although her status is not as good as that of the imperial concubine, no one thinks that she is low-married.

"This is a famous class in Shaanxi and Gansu, good at this kind of play" Song Zhi is silent when he speaks, he can always take care of people's emotions, and it doesn't seem too abrupt, "The next song hasn't started yet, if you have anything you want to hear, you can order it." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned, and the person holding the board next to the stage walked over, and when he saw Song Value, he nodded, "Second Young Master." ”

Sheng Feifei hung her face, slightly red, "I don't listen to Kunqu opera much every day, and the second brother is in charge." ”

Song Wei smiled lightly and ticked something casually. He knew that if there was no accident in the marriage between him and Sheng Feifei, it must have been decided, Song Zhi wanted to talk to her more, this family matter was originally decided by both parties, and he was always gentle and gentle, and he didn't want a woman to marry her with unwillingness, but Sheng Feifei kept her head down, and she wanted to say something, so she also pressed it.

Looking at Sheng Mingzhu again, she originally saw a pair of red eyes, but now she was already drinking tea with her head down, and there was a faint red circle on the side of her ears, which looked very quiet.

"Mingzhu, do you like this play very much?" He asked.

Sheng Mingzhu put down the lid of the cup and looked over there, wanting to nod, but shook his head again, "I don't like it." ”

"But I see you looked very emotional just now."

Sheng Feifei hung her head shyly, but her attention was on Song Value, watching him turn to talk to Sheng Mingzhu, and she was already unhappy in her heart.

"Even if you look at it and cry, it's not necessarily a good show."

Sheng Mingzhu was babbling just now, but she didn't understand anything. Later, I was aroused by curiosity, and I specially found a play book and came up, and after reading it, I felt ridiculous. The drama is fresh, but the story is not so new.

It was originally a matter of Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan, and it was made into a play by an unknown lyricist.

"I just think it's a little ridiculous, what can Wang Baochuan do even if she is a female ringer, and she has been guarding the cold kiln for so many years, hasn't Xue Rengui married another princess? Even if she and the princess are willing to have equal wives, even if they reunite with Xue Pinggui, what is added in the middle is known to others. ”

What's more, Wang Baochuan is still dead.

Wang Baochuan may be a virtuous woman in the hearts of the world, but she also looks too pitiful, Sheng Mingzhu feels that if she changes herself, she may wait. But if the man came back and found another one, she would probably go straight to the door with a knife.

"People are emperors, and the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards are normal, the third sister, I know that in a small place like Bingzhou, there may be few concubines, but this is a common thing in the capital", Sheng Feifei shook her fan lightly, only feeling that Sheng Mingzhu was still grandstanding in front of Song Value.

Sheng Mingzhu was about to speak, but the people of the Song family on the side suddenly came, and hurriedly said something in Song Value's ear, Song Value's face changed, and he held back a little, and said to the two girls on the side, "There are some trivial matters at home, Song has to deal with them." ”

Sheng Feifei lowered her head slightly, but Sheng Mingzhu saw the maid beside Song Yu at that time, but just now she vaguely heard the maid say that the young lady was missing or something, so she only pressed it for a moment, and went out not long after. Jin Zhi also followed.

Sheng Feifei didn't pay attention when she saw her go out, but when the play was finished, Sheng Mingzhu didn't come back, and she had doubts in her heart.
