Jiang Yu, who was packing his bags, heard that Shen Ai was coming, and he had a slight doubt in his heart, didn't the person behind him come to report that this little girl went out to buy roast chicken today? One south and one north, she has time to go around on such a cold day, and she opens the curtain and goes out to pick it up.

When I went out, I saw that Shen Ai had already shrunk her neck and rushed in with a trembling hand warmer, and almost fell, so she hurriedly reached out to help her up, and said, "It's so urgent to go." ”

Shen Ai stood firm and complained: "It's not too cold yet, I want to enter the house quickly, you are still blocking me." ”

Jiang Yu, who was afraid that she was so cold that she wanted to go out to pick her up, reluctantly lifted the curtain for her, and when the two entered the house, they ordered someone to soak honey water and hot snacks.

With the hot water and the charcoal basin in the house, Shen Ai took off her cloak, she was really afraid of the cold, when she was alone in the past, she had to wear a pair of stockings to make the bottom, and when she was alone, she had to wear a pair of stockings to make the bottom, and the weather was even colder, plus this sentence The body was cold, and she felt extremely cold as soon as the wind blew.

When her face gradually became warm, Jiang Yucai asked, "Why did you come here on such a cold day?" ”

Shen Ai swallowed the honey water in his mouth and said, "I just heard about it on the side of the street. ”

"Huh? What's up? Jiang Yu was puzzled

"I heard..."Shen Ai frowned and paused before saying, "I heard that Zhou Li and Ruan Zhen, the concubine beside King Yu, have frequent contacts?" ”

Jiang Yu frowned: "Who did you listen to?" ”

"I heard people talk about it when I bought roast chicken." Shen Ai wasn't going to say anything about Lingbi

Although he was dissatisfied that someone was chewing his tongue in front of Shen Ai, Jiang Yu didn't delve into it, and only replied: "Even if they really have a close relationship, it is the emperor's business, don't worry about it." ”

Shen Ai was depressed, how could she not worry about this? The king of Beiming is a person who wants to rebel, will his son not know one or two of them, this king of honor must hate the old emperor and the prince in his heart, if he uses it a little, he is afraid that it is also a sharp sword.

However, the stakes are very high, and she has no evidence, if she bluntly says to Jiang Yu that the king of Beiming is going to rebel, I am afraid that she will be ridiculed, and listening to Jiang Yu comforting herself with a wrinkled face, Shen Ai slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and changed the topic: "Brother Jiang, when are you going to the northwest?" ”

"I'm going to leave tomorrow." Jiang Yu said

"Then pay attention to safety on the road, the northwest should be three points colder than the capital at this time, don't freeze sick."

Jiang Yu touched his head and said with a smile: "I'll pay attention." ”

was sent out by Jiang Yu, Shen Ai went back to Shen's mansion directly, and asked people to send the roast chicken to the kitchen to heat it up, and then ran directly to the study to find Shen Guogong.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was stopped by the little guy guarding the entrance, this was the first time that Shen Ai was pulled by a subordinate in the Shen Mansion, and no one dared to stop him when he usually rushed in, so he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What about grandfather?" ”

The little servant who stopped her replied respectfully: "Grandpa Guo is inside to meet the guests, and he ordered not to disturb anyone, Miss, you are waiting to find it." ”

Shen Ai frowned, but he didn't want to embarrass him, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then when my grandfather is done, tell him that I came to look for it." ”

"Yes, the little ones must be delivered."

Shen Ai returned to the yard, and the grandmother just served a hot roast chicken and a cup of goat's milk, which Shen Ai had asked Mu to buy every day for him to drink, although he couldn't stand the smell of mutton, but in order to make his skin white and tender in the future, Shen Ai let the kitchen add some dried fruits and petals, and the smell was much lighter.

After drinking goat's milk while thinking about things, it happened that the maid outside the door had rumored that Shen Guogong had already seen the guest looking for her, and Shen Ai thought about it and remembered to get dressed and go out.

Coming to the study in the front hall, Shen Ai behaved to Shen Guogong for a while before he asked, "Is there something wrong with Xiao Ai'er just coming to find her grandfather?" ”

"It's okay, I just miss my grandfather." Shen Ai hid what he was going to say to Shen Guogong just now

She thought clearly in the house just now, the emperor was afraid that he had already noticed the matter of the King of Beiming, otherwise it would be impossible for the five princes to go to the northwest in the near future, and looking at the appearance of sneaking there, she thought that she was going to check the King of Beiming, so she didn't have to remind her grandfather in this way, lest the emperor be suspicious of the Shen Mansion when the time came.

Knowing that it was really fine, Shen Guogong accompanied her for a while and then went out again, Shen Ai put people in the carriage and went back to his house.

Jiang Yu and the five princes left Beijing quietly, Shen Ai didn't send it, and she didn't want to send it on such a cold day, only Jiang Yu sent someone to talk to her and knew that they had left the city and headed for the northwest at the moment.

The northwest is the territory of the King of Beiming for many years, the two of them are still young, this time they went to be extremely dangerous, the slightest carelessness may be so unexplained death, a few months of getting along with her made her sweat for Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu went to the northwest, Shen Ai went to Wanyunlou every once in a while to see, and the wine shops had already been found, one on South Street, one on West Street, and the people were relatively complete, and now they are only waiting for plum blossom wine to be made.

On this day, Shen Ai also came to Wanyun Tower as usual, and as soon as he went upstairs, he met Zhou Li, the prince of the Northern Ming Dynasty, and Zhou Yu and Ruan Zhen beside him, Shen Ai couldn't help but squint slightly, and the four eyes of several of them were unavoidable, and Shen Ai walked up with a slight smile.

Zhou Li was the first to speak: "What a coincidence, Ai'er is also here for dinner?" ”

Shen Ai saluted her and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I heard that there is a new dish here, and I am very curious about how it tastes, Brother Shizi has tasted it?" ”

"I've just tasted a few chopsticks, and it's good."

"If you can get the praise of the elder brother of the world, Ai'er will definitely want to taste it for a while."

Zhou Li smiled and asked, "Ai'er is alone?" ”

Shen Ai looked up at him and said sweetly: "No, my father and mother will also come in a while." ”

"That's very good, that brother still has something to do, so he won't accompany Ai'er to eat."

"Okay, Brother Shizi go slowly." As he spoke, he turned sideways and gave way, Zhou Li, who wanted to say a few more words, had to smile and nod and walk downstairs, and when Zhou Yu, who was following her, passed by her, he squinted and looked at himself, but there was a hint of playfulness on his face, as if he was joking and mocking, and there was a faint hint of pity, and Ruan Zhen lowered his head the whole time and couldn't see his face clearly.

Shen Ai stood on the stairs and watched a few people out of the restaurant door, the light smile on her face gradually put away, turned around and walked up, wondering in her heart about the look of Fang Caiyu Wang, did she miss something important and didn't remember?

Until the food was served, Shen Ai still didn't come up with a reason, so he simply left it behind, Zhou Yu is no longer a prince, although he is following Zhou Li, he is afraid that he will not dare to do anything to himself, so he will put his mind at ease and eat.

After a few days, the sky began to snow again, and the snow was much heavier, and there was no banquet in the house, so Mu and Zhang's had a rare idle few days, and Shen Aiwo baked sweet potatoes at home.

It's still the last time Mu Shi met her to eat and smell the smell of fragrance and let people get it, but of course this time to eat is to let the servant peel the skin and eat it, Mu and Zhang are all beautiful women, naturally they can't make such vulgarity as grasping with their hands, even Shen Ai, who is sitting on the side, can't be self-reliant, she has to wait for the servant to peel it before she can use chopsticks to hold the entrance, she likes to eat hot sweet potatoes.

After eating two, I didn't eat, wiped my hands and took the small handkerchief and embroidery needle given by Mu to practice female red, this is still yesterday Mu turned out of the small warehouse, what to say that eight years old should learn female red and rules, she is so busy every day, literacy, practice words, learn rules, learn female red, at the end of the day, in addition to eating, there is basically no vacant time, fortunately, the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting listen to Mu's and Shen Erye talk about waiting for her to teach at the age of ten, otherwise she estimates that she will not be able to go to bed until midnight.

It's really not easy to be a boudoir lady in ancient times!

Tie the needle and pull the thread according to the pattern of Mu's painting, fortunately, I had the experience of sewing clothes with needles in the orphanage before, although it is different, but at least I will not prick my fingers, and I was praised by Zhang's family, a little happy.

Mu and Zhang also held a purse and a dress embroidery, chatting about the interesting things when they went to the banquet a few days ago, and listened to them talk about the family affairs of the five princes, so they pricked up their ears and listened for a while, it turned out that Concubine De fell in love with Liu Shilang's youngest daughter, but the five princes seemed to disagree.

Shen Ai pouted, of course the fifth prince disagreed, his cp is the first beauty Zheng Wanyu, even if Miss Liu Jia, who is so beautiful, can she be more beautiful than the protagonist who was raised by the author as a daughter? Don't make a fuss~

In this way, more than half a month has passed, the New Year is getting closer and closer, although there are fewer banquets, but there are more gifts, those officials will have a good relationship with their bosses for their own future, Shen Guogong sat in the position of Guogong and came to give gifts There are naturally a lot of people, at this time Mu and Zhang are going to be extremely busy, one receives gifts, and the other wants to put things into the book.

Shen Ai followed the Mu clan around, but was instilled with some housekeeping skills by the Mu clan intentionally or unintentionally, thinking that he would be able to use it in the future, and Shen Ai also listened carefully.

Not only the upper and lower grassroots gifts will be sent by the families who have a little friendship, the officials at the lower levels are sent some gold, silver and jade and other things, and some of the friendship is all kinds of food, because of this insurance, the old emperor sat on the top and watched it, if it is to send valuable things, I am afraid that it will be ginseng when the time comes, the gains outweigh the losses, and the high-ranking families in the capital know this reason, so they will not feel that the food is shabby.

But this made Shen Aile so happy, there were all kinds of delicious snacks every day, and Sensei was more happy, until this day when eating a piece of hard crispy cake, a tingling pain came from the gums, and then a white tooth fell out and a mouth full of rust smell, only then did she suddenly wake up, she forgot the important thing to chase at this age - change teeth!

Sitting there stunned and looking at the teeth, looking at the incomparably white front teeth that seemed to be his own, he came back to his senses when Mu ran in anxiously to see the situation, and hurriedly covered his mouth.

Mu frowned: "Let go, let my mother see." ”

Seeing that she seemed to be angry, Shen Ai put down her hand and spit out a mouthful of blood before opening her mouth to let her see, Mu Shi pinched her chin and looked at it twice, then instructed the maid behind her to fetch warm water for her to rinse her mouth, and after rinsing the blood in her mouth, she looked at it again, and said, "You can't eat sweets in the future." ”

Shen Ai pouted and just wanted to protest, but he heard Mu Shi say again: "If you don't want your front tooth, you can eat hard, and then it won't grow or be moth-eaten, and you will cry." ”

Shen Ai closed her mouth and watched Mu Shi instruct the maid to put away all the desserts, so she had to wring her fingers pitifully.
