In June, the Shen family first held a grand full moon banquet for Shen Yuhong's eldest son, Shen Qingmin, and then held a grand ceremony for Shen Zejing's concubine, Shen Mi.

Shen Mi's ceremony, presided over by Shen Yu himself, invited many officials and wives of Jingzhao to attend, and gave Shen Mi a full dose of decency, which made Shen Mi and Aunt Li very happy.

After Shen Mi and Lu Li, Aunt Li began to worry about Shen Mi's family affairs. Of course, the first person she went to find was Shen Yu and asked her what she was thinking.

Shen Yu remembered what Shen Ning said to her, saying that it was a critical juncture for her grandfather and father to seek power for officials, and this child must also be cautious, otherwise he would rather wait for another year or two, and after the overall situation is decided, there will be no mistakes in choosing a marriage.

So he said to Aunt Li: "The old lady and the old man have said that Mi'er is a capable person. If you wait another year or two, when the lord's official is higher, it will be easy to find a good family at that time, and Mi'er is not big at that time. ”

Aunt Li has always believed in Shen Yu's family, and since Shen Yu's family said so, she agreed, planning to take advantage of the past two years to prepare more dowry for her daughter.

"Is there still no movement between the second prince and the fifth prince?" After participating in Shen Mi and the ceremony, he bought two years for Shen Mi and Yan Shang, Shen Ning's tone was very leisurely, and he asked about the situation he was most concerned about.

The elder brother replied that everything was calm. The second prince's side concubine, Jane, also gave birth to a grandson. The second prince is prosperous, but he does not dare to mention the matter of establishing the crown prince again, there has been no movement recently, and everything is as usual in the fifth prince's mansion. Qiu Ge replied.

"Tell the streams and grasshoppers not to take it lightly, and report any movement." Hearing such an answer, Shen Ning felt a little strange in his heart.

In the past two months, there has been a strange calm in the Second Prince's Mansion and the Fifth Prince's Mansion, which is so calm that it makes people panic.

She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say anything was wrong. I had to tell Ruliu and the grasshopper to pay close attention to the movements in these two places.

Since Shen Huashan mentioned Shen Zexi, Shen Zexi has not been drunk anymore, and he gets along well with the lord of Rongping. The main thing is that he changed his drinking habits. Restored the hobby of reading when I was in Jiangnan.

Most of the time, he finished his official work in Guanglu Temple. I didn't go to the wine store to drink, but went to the library on Xianghe Street to read books.

The library building of Xianghe Street is very famous in Jingzhao, it is said that it was built by Taizu Shangguanfu, and it is the place where the people of Jingzhao read and buy books. Taizu's starting point is good, but the reality is very difficult, where would ordinary people come to such a place?

Therefore, the library has gradually become a favorite place for Jingzhao readers, and occasionally a small family of Jasper will go there. Ordinary people, it is rare.

Because of Shen Zexi's love for the library, Lord Rongping has also accompanied him here once or twice, but she really doesn't have much interest in the library. I've only been here twice, and then I haven't come again.

Shen Zexi held a dispensable free and easy mood for the lord of Rongping, and he didn't care about her behavior, but enjoyed his time alone in the library.

On this day, Shen Zexi went to the library as usual. I happened to see the book "Distant Mountains and Gu Ji" in a hidden corner of the library building, and I was pleasantly surprised.

This book is the late work of Li Changchang, a calligrapher in the Huihe period, Shen Zexi has always liked it, and he has searched many places, but he has never seen it. I didn't expect it to appear in Jingzhao's library!

What a blessing. Shen Zexi was overjoyed, and when he was about to reach out to get this bookpost, suddenly a small white hand came out diagonally, grabbed it in front of him, and got the bookmark first.

This book has been taken away! Shen Zexi instantly seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water, and someone took the lead, with disappointment and anger, he was trying to argue that he saw it first, and asked someone to return the book to him!

But when he saw clearly the owner holding the book, he couldn't help but be stunned.

It was a small jasper, and its appearance was not gorgeous, but it was elegant and quiet. Willow eyebrows and cherry lips, the skin is very white, the eyes are like spring water, and there is a faint fragrance on the body, which is not pressing, but it is a pleasant breath, which is Shen Zexi's favorite type of girl, and it is also the breath that Shen Zexi likes.

She stood there delicately, holding the notebook and caressing it gently, with a smile of surprise and satisfaction on her face. It can be seen that she also likes the bookmark and is pleasantly surprised to find it.

Jasper, incense, calligraphy, this quiet and beautiful picture made Shen Zexi in a trance, as if he had seen countless scenes in a dream, and it would be in front of his eyes. - Shen Zexi thought a little confused. He didn't say anything for a long time, for fear of ruining the beautiful atmosphere.

"Childe, do you like this book too? I'm really sorry, but the concubine also likes this post. Can the son let him give it to a concubine? The woman saw Shen Zexi looking at her blankly, thinking that he was also going to get the book before, so she asked.

Her eyes were so soft that she seemed to be dripping water, and she looked at Shen Zexi like that, making him feel that there was something passive in his heart.

The voice was clear and beautiful, the same as the voice imagined by Shen Zexi, and it felt very comfortable and forgetful when I listened to it.

Shen Zexi came back to his senses when she asked this, and then said humbly and politely: "I like Li Kejiu's calligraphy very much, and I have been looking for this book "Distant Mountains and Gu Ji". Since the girl got it first, it proves that it is more destined for the girl. Don't take away people's favor, that's exactly what I think. ”

The girl listened to Shen Zexi's words, seemed to think for a while, and then handed the book to Shen Zexi, and said: "Li has strong penmanship and broad artistic conception, this book "Distant Mountains and Gu Ji" is the pinnacle of his later years, and he has been looking for a concubine for a long time. But since Childe saw it first, it means that it is related to Childe. If the concubine took it, she could only bury it in the boudoir, and it was not as important as in the hands of the son. ”

With that, she smiled slightly.

Shen Zexi saw her smile like a flower, and felt that the butterflies in his heart seemed to be about to fly out, he didn't take the book she handed over, and said dumbly: "You also know that everyone Li......"

When the woman saw him looking like a goose, she smiled, stretched the bookpiece forward, and said, "Childe, please take it, who doesn't know about Li?" How could the concubine not know about him? Although the concubine is not heard, this point. But I know. Childe was really joking. ”

Shen Zexi subconsciously took the bookmark she handed over, and didn't know what to say for a while, and felt that this girl was upright for a while. Ken gave him the book, and after a while he felt that this girl was very knowledgeable. The comments on everyone Li are extremely appropriate, and after a while, I feel that this girl is really smiling beautifully, and her voice is also very moving, in short, her thoughts are extremely confused.

This restrained look made the girl smile again.

At this time, Shen Zexi quickly grasped the clearest feeling in his mind, and he said with an elegant smile: "Thank you for your courtesy." In this way, I won't take the girl's favor from below. How about I finish copying this book and then give it to the girl? ”

The girl seemed to be frightened by Shen Zexi's abrupt behavior, and her smile suddenly condensed. His face also turned crimson.

She said loudly: "Childe, men and women are not kissed. This is inappropriate. After saying this. Only then did she realize that it was inappropriate to talk to a strange boy in this hidden corner, so she hurriedly bowed and bowed to Shen Zexi and walked away.

Shen Zexi watched her walk away stupidly. He also knew in his heart that the sentence just now was abrupt, and he didn't think of anything else. I just feel that I met such a girl who also likes Li and everyone, and I also took a fancy to "Far Mountains and Gu Ji" together, which is a wonderful fate.

Speaking of which, he didn't know who her name was.

"Concubine Bai." The girl in the distance heard Shen Zexi ask her. said such a sentence, the crisp and moving voice and the elegant and quiet figure slowly moved away from Shen Zexi's sight.

Shen Zexi returned to the county lord's mansion with full joy, and his brisk and happy appearance made the county lord of Rongping curious.

It's really rare, after getting married, she rarely saw Shen Zexi so happy, so she asked him why, when she heard the answer that she got a copy of Li Kejiu's book, she was very calm and a little puzzled: "Who is Li Kejiu?" ”

"......" Shen Zexi's smile paused, looking at the ignorant appearance of the county lord of Rongping, he felt extremely disappointed. In addition to being disappointed, he couldn't help but think of the white girl in the library.

One doesn't even know who Li Kejiu is, but the other can accurately comment on Li Kejiu's calligraphy, the difference between mud and clouds. Which is the cloud and which is the mud, Shen Zexi was embarrassed to say.

Originally, Shen Zexi thought that the white girl in the library was just a flash in the pan in his life, but he didn't expect that after the library, he would meet the white girl many times by coincidence.

The two of them slowly got acquainted with each other, and of course they talked more. Shen Zexi was pleasantly surprised to find that in addition to being proficient in calligraphy, the white girl Bai Ruyan is also very good at poetry, and her hobbies and ideals are basically the same as her own!

With this joy of "meeting a confidant", Shen Zexi soon fell in love with her, and this love became deeper and deeper, and it has become a deep infatuation!

Because Shen Zexi was with her, he felt the feeling of a confidant with red sleeves, and also felt a sense of happiness that only envied the mandarin duck and not the immortal.

When he plucked up the courage to express his admiration to Bai Ruyan, he didn't expect that Bai Ruyan did not agree to him, but showed an embarrassed and sad look, and there was a meaning that they would not meet again in the future.

Shen Zexi thought that Bai Ruyan cared that he had married the county lord, so he hurriedly grabbed her hands and swore that he would treat her well.

Bai Ruyan still refused to agree, but broke free of his hand, revealing the scars on his wrists. Under Shen Zexi's repeated questioning, she said in a sad tone the reason why she refused to accept him.

It turned out that it was not because Shen Zexi had already married a wife, but because she was a married woman! She turned out to be the outer chamber of Wei Fa, the secretary of Jingzhao Mansion, and this injury was sent by Wei Fa's wife!

"Being able to meet the son is already the greatest blessing of the concubine, and the concubine knows what it means to 'only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal', but it's a pity that the concubine and the son have no fate. The king has a wife, and Luo Fu has a husband. The affection of the son is the most precious thought of the concubine in this life. Wanwang Gongzi cherishes! We can't see each other again in the future. Wei Fa holds an important position in Jingzhao Mansion, and he is jealous and jealous, I can't drag down my son! ”

Bai Ruyan said and shed big tears. She didn't cry loudly, but the grief made Shen Zexi's heart seem to be torn apart.

"I don't care! I don't care if you're Wei Fa's outer chamber or what, my affection for you is proven! You didn't resent me because I married the county lord, so how could I dislike you because you were Wei Fa's outer chamber?! Besides, you are forced to be Wei Fa's outer chamber, even if he comes to the door, I am not afraid! My brother is Jingzhao Shaoyin, and he doesn't dare to cause trouble! ”

Shen Zexi hugged Bai Ruyan tightly and comforted him distressedly. He couldn't bear her to be in such pain, and he had to be with her.

"Then what if Wei Fa finds me?" After a long time, Bai Ruyan asked. Previously, Shen Zexi said that he wanted to take her as a concubine, and said that he would take her away, and she also agreed to go with him, but she couldn't stop worrying in her heart.

"Don't be afraid! I'll hide you well! Wei Fa didn't dare to come to the door at all! Shen Zexi said, taking a deep breath, Bai Ruyan's quiet and elegant aura fascinated him.
