Chapter 176: Urgent Call
Shen Shiliu took the lantern, smiled, and said, "I remember that you also gave me one in the past, which is better than this." β
Du Xuanmo smiled, when he listened to Shen Pomegranate's words to make lanterns and sell them, he gave Shen Pomegranate a small lantern, Shen Pomegranate still remembers.
"Write something." Du Xuanmo also picked up the pen and wrote something on the lantern.
Shen Shiliu watched Du Xuanmo write a lot of words on the lantern, the words were small, she couldn't see what was written, but it seemed that the number of words was right, and she knew what poems Du Xuanmo had written.
Lifting the pen, Shen Shimei also sprinkled with joy, and moved the famous sentence "When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world".
Du Xuanmo looked over, took a closer look at Shen Pomegranate's poems, and smiled: "Our pomegranate is powerful, and any poem written is a good poem!" β
Shen Shiliu smiled lightly, it is indeed a good poem, how many women who have crossed over have been fed by these excellent poets and lyricists in ancient times!
Du Xuanmo lit the candle in the lantern, and Shen Pomegranate walked to the lake to put the lantern.
There are a lot of lights on the lake, slowly floating, Shen Pomegranate leaned on Du Xuanmo's arms, looking at the silver waves on the lake under the moonlight.
"It's a dreamy place." Shen Shiliu said, there are obviously people around, but she also has a feeling like she is in a dream, and the noisy voices next to her confuse her brain, so that Shen Shiliu is half-awake, she finally understands what it means to be drunk and not drunk and everyone is drunk.
Du Xuanmo approved a cloak for Shen Pomegranate, it was already Mid-Autumn Festival, the temperature was not high at night, Shen Pomegranate was locked in Du Xuanmo's arms, like a lazy rabbit.
"Time flies, in a blink of an eye, years have passed." Shen Shiliu looked at the little fires on the lake and sighed.
She was only thirteen years old when she first came, and she was still a meat ball at that time, but now she is no longer a meat ball, and she is seventeen, and the four years seem to have passed as if she had just pierced her eyes. The high-rise mobile phone IFI in the previous life seems to be a dream of oneself, as time passes, the past is more and more blurred, and the current days are real.
The two of them worked by the lake for a while, until Du Xuanmo felt that it was getting cooler and colder, and then came back with Shen Pomegranate.
"It's windy by the lake, but the inn is much warmer!" Shen Shiliu said, asking Xiao Tie to bring the luggage she brought, she fiddled with it, and took out a lot of food from it.
"It turns out that you brought so much food, why didn't you take it out for dinner?" Du Xuanmo asked with a smile.
Shen Pomegranate put it the same way, and said: "Dinner is different from now, I also brought wine!" "She can't eat the things she brings for long, so she has to use such flowers before the moon!
Sitting at the table with Du Xuanmo, as soon as the window opened, the moonlight outside shone in.
Du Xuanmo saw that they were all small snacks, and the dishes were just right.
"How much do you drink?" Du Xuanmo asked.
"Okay" Shen Shiliu said, she also knew that Du Xuanmo's drinking volume was not drunk in a thousand glasses, so she could also let go of drinking today, and she was not afraid that no one would serve her if she drank too much!
Du Xuanmo smiled, eating and drinking with Shen Pomegranate, the night was getting deeper and deeper, and the voices below gradually became smaller, although Shen Pomegranate slept during the day, he was dizzy after drinking, and at the end of the drink, he was directly hugged to the bed by Du Xuanmo.
"Would you like a decanter soup?" Xiao Tie came over and asked, there were people in the inn all night, and he could get anything he wanted.
Du Xuanmo nodded and said, "Get some, otherwise she will have a terrible headache tomorrow morning." β
Xiao Tie went out to make the wine soup, and Shen Shimei lay on the bed, holding the corner of Du Xuanmo's clothes with his hand.
"Where is the wine drunk?" Shen Shiliu said, his brain is still clear.
Du Xuanmo smiled, touched Shen Shimei's face, and said, "It's also the first time I've seen someone who can get drunk if he drinks fruit wine." As he spoke, he twisted a handkerchief and wiped Shen Shimei's face.
Shen Pomegranate's face was cold, and he felt a lot more comfortable, Xiao Tie came back with the sobering soup, and was fed to Shen Pomegranate by Du Xuanmo spoonful by spoonful, and after feeding half a bowl, Shen Pomegranate fell asleep completely.
Xiao Tie went to sleep in the outer room, and Du Xuanmo also lay down, looking at Shen Pomegranate with a blushing face, Du Xuanmo felt that he liked his daughter-in-law more.
The next day, when Shen Shimei opened his eyes, he was already exposed to the sun. Du Xuanmo sat on the low couch and pretended to sleep, heard the movement on the side of the bed, and opened his eyes to look over.
"Awake? Headache? Du Xuanmo sat over and asked.
Shen Shimei rubbed his head, the headache was not strong, but he was a little dizzy after the hangover.
"The amount of wine is so bad that I still push the glass and change the glass, so it's better to drink less wine in the future." Du Xuanmo's strength mocked.
Shen Shiliu smiled, she also ignored her physique, this is a shame to throw home! Fortunately, before she broke off yesterday, she remembered that she didn't do anything too cheap.
"I'm a little hungry." Shen Shiliu said, I drank a stomach of wine yesterday, and now I have three poles in the sun, and I don't have any food in my stomach.
Du Xuanmo asked Xiao Tie to get some porridge and side dishes, and Shen Pomegranate drank a bowl and finally recovered.
"I wanted to take you on a tour of the mountains today, so let's go tomorrow." Du Xuanmo saw that Shen Shimei was so spiritless, and wanted to postpone the trip.
Shen Shiliu shook his head: "I'm fine, I'll go in a while." "She's not a delicate flower, just a drink, where can't she enjoy the mountains and rivers?
As a result, as soon as I stood up, it was tragic, and I sat back in a dizzy state.
Du Xuanmo hurriedly held the person up, Shen Pomegranate really drank a lot yesterday, he regretted it a little, he had to let Shen Pomegranate quit drinking in the future!
"Don't go, rest for a day." Du Xuanmo said, as soon as the words fell, there was a thunder outside, and Du Xuanmo smiled: "I don't have to go now." "As he spoke, it was raining outside.
Shen Shiliu smiled bitterly, God really knows how to look at his face, Du Xuanmo said that if he doesn't go, he really doesn't have to go.
It was raining lightly outside, Shen Shimei and Du Xuanmo were sitting in the room, looking out from the window, they could see the picturesque scenery, the mountains were lush and green, washed by this autumn rain, looking at the smoke hazy, like Penglai Wonderland.
"It feels good to watch it so quietly." Shen Shiliu said, remembering that during the National Day holiday in his last life, all the attractions were the back of people's heads, and this kind of quiet viewing is definitely the best.
Du Xuanmo looked at Shen Pomegranate holding his face with both hands, and also learned from Shen Pomegranate's appearance, holding his face with his hands, and said, "Well, it's good." β
Shen Shimei couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "Like a child!" β
But Du Xuanmo is indeed not that old, he is only nineteen years old, he has experienced so much, and he is also the youngest official in the cabinet in the court. Because of this, it is rare to be smeared by those old pedants, but because the emperor likes it, it has been peaceful until now. Du Xuanmo has endured pressure that his peers have never had, and his mentality is old, and it is rare to have such a naΓ―ve time.
Du Xuanmo smiled, with Shen Shimei, he just wanted to be a stunned boy, and he didn't want to stain Shen Shimei's eyes in front of Shen Shimei.
The little couple leaned together, just like that, even if they didn't say anything, it was a thing that made people feel extremely happy.
Shen Shiliu regarded this time as a honeymoon trip, and it seemed that since entering Du Xuanmo's door, there was no two-person world.
The two played in Tanshan for a few days, thinking that they could play for a few more days, but the cucumber came up.
"Cucumbers? What are you doing here? Shen Pomegranate was stunned when he saw the cucumber.
Cucumber found Shen Shimei and his wife after looking for several inns, and said directly: "Madam said to let the young master and young grandmother go back, and the holy decree came from the family!" β
"Divine decree?" Shen Shiliu hurriedly looked at Du Xuanmo.
Du Xuanmo thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go back first, you are here first, and I'll come back if it's okay." β
Shen Shiliu shook his head: "I'll come back with you, the holy decree is here, and it is estimated that the matter is not small!" "Anyway, she has played everything she should have played, Du Xuanmo just left, she herself is here to worry about it, it is better to go back together.
Du Xuanmo hurriedly returned to Kyoto City with Shen Pomegranate, and as soon as he entered the gate of his house, Du Xuanmo saw a eunuch sitting in the main hall, and Du Niangzi was receiving him.
"Grandpa Sun." Du Xuanmo went up and shouted, Grandpa Sun is a familiar face next to the emperor.
Grandpa Sun waited for a long time before waiting for someone to come, and he didn't have any impatient looks, so he got up directly and shouted Du Xuanmo to take the order.
Shen Shimei, who came in, hurriedly knelt down, and Du Niangzi and the people in the courtyard also knelt down.
Grandpa Sun's slightly hoarse voice proclaimed, but his voice was loud.
Shen Shiliu lowered his head and listened, and finally understood what it meant, it was Dali Temple that investigated the suicide case of the three princes, but there was no further discovery, so the emperor called Du Xuanmo back and cooperated with Dali Temple to handle the case.
Du Xuanmo accepted the order with a calm face, and Father-in-law Sun also hurried back to the palace to resume his life.
Shen Shiliu got up, walked to Du Xuanmo's side and asked, "Can the officials still cooperate with Dali Temple?" Isn't it all the Criminal Department or something? β
Du Xuanmo nodded and said, "What should the emperor think, it's really unreasonable for me to find this matter." β
Shen Shiliu was a little worried, the emperor had already valued Du Xuanmo, and now he gave Du Xuanmo the life that did not belong to Du Xuanmo......
"Could it be that the emperor thinks that this matter itself has nothing to do with the Criminal Department?" Shen Shiliu asked, originally the Criminal Department was a place where felons were held, and the third prince died in the prison, and there was a dereliction of duty in the Criminal Department, could it be that the Criminal Department did something wrong, and now the emperor is a little suspicious, so find someone who is not the Criminal Department to investigate?
There is no need for Shen Shiliu to say more, the rest of Du Xuanmo has made up his own brain, but he still smiled bitterly: "It's okay, I know how to do it, don't think too much about it." He didn't want Shen Shiliu to know about the things in the court, there were too many things in the court, they looked bright on the surface, and they were dark behind the scenes, and he didn't want Shen Shimei to become anxious.
Shen Shiliu also felt that he might have opened his brain too much, so he wouldn't make trouble for Du Xuanmo.
Du Xuanmo held the holy decree in his hand, and felt that what Shen Shiliu said was not impossible, looking at the court, only if he was entrusted with such a heavy task by the emperor, it would not cause too much suspicion, and all kinds of reasons could only be known when he entered the palace tomorrow.
