Shen Ai looked at his handsome face with a light smile and did not stretch out his hand, turned his head to look at the Mu family, and the Mu family saw that it was a high-grade Yunbai warm jade in his hand, so he refused with a smile: "This is too precious..."

Zhou Li raised his hand to stop Mu's unfinished words, took Shen Ai's hand and placed it in his hand, and said, "It's just a jade pendant, not worth a few dollars." ”

Shen Ai looked at him in a daze, this person has a lot of money? Is it still forced to give gifts? As the saying goes, if nothing is done, it is either a traitor or a thief, and it is difficult for Shen Ai not to think about the dark side when they give such a valuable gift when they meet for the first time.

If he refuses again, he will not give face to the prince of the Northern Ming Dynasty, so the Mu family asked Shen Ai to thank him.

Seeing that he had accepted the gift, Zhou Li was satisfied and said goodbye to the three of them.

Shen fell in love with the carriage and took out Fang Cai's piece of cloud white warm jade, and looked at it for a long time and didn't see anything unusual, but Fang Cai's eyes when he looked at himself when he left.... She can be sure that this prince of the Northern Ming Dynasty has a plan, but she doesn't know if it's the Shen family or something else!

Throw the jade pendant to Lingcui, who was waiting with him, and said, "Find a box for this jade pendant and throw it in the small warehouse, don't take it out." ”

Lingcui took the jade pendant in response, and didn't ask much about the reason, just put it away properly.

Shen Ai leaned on the wall of the car with a soft pillow, took a sip of the hot tea handed by Lingcui, and felt that his hands and feet, which were originally a little cold, warmed up, anyway, this prince of Beiming came to congratulate the queen on her birthday, and the ghost knows how long he stayed, as long as she avoided it, he couldn't do anything he wanted to do.

It's already mid-October, the weather is already cold, and all rooms are burning silver charcoal, and because of the cold weather, Shen Ai doesn't like to go out, so he hides in the house all day long and lazily bakes warm.

It took two days for the news of Concubine De to come out, and the adults were saved, but the child was gone, because this time Concubine De had to be the same as Concubine Xian, she could no longer conceive a child, and her body was a little weaker than before.

I heard that the murderer was also caught, it was a palace maid who was kneeling beside Concubine De at that time, and the Mu family and Shen Erye didn't want to talk to her, so they braved the cold to ask Jiang Yu and he kept his mouth shut, so he had to give up.

Because the charcoal fire in the cold house was burning, Shen Ai suddenly wanted to ask the maid to go to the kitchen to get sweet potatoes to bake, and when Mu came over, he smelled the smell of sweet potatoes all over the house, and couldn't help frowning, and ordered the maid to open the window for ventilation.

"What are you fooling around all day long? It smells so heavy. ”

Shen Ai took a bite of the sweet potato that had just been peeled and was still lying slightly, and she beckoned with a smile: "Mother, come on, come on, take a bite, it's delicious." ”

Mu Shi took a small bite under her expectant gaze, his mouth was slightly sweet, and he asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”

"Sweet potato!" Shen Ai peeled off the skin and took a bite of it

"Where did you get it?" Mu Shi wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, this thing tasted good

"Kitchen." Shen Ai said

Mu Shi said suspiciously: "How do you know that this thing can be eaten?" ”

Shen Ai's eyes rolled: "Aunt Pan in the kitchen has roasted and eaten, I smelled the fragrance and asked her." ”

Mu Shi accepted this reason, and when he saw that she still wanted to reach out and take it, he stopped: "Don't eat, I'll have to eat later." ”

Shen Ai had no choice but to give up and give the rest of the sweet potatoes to the maids and daughters-in-law to eat, and they were so happy that they thanked them again and again, and this thing was the most delicious to eat in winter.

Rested, used a cup of tea, the meal time came, and when the people gathered the dishes on the table, just half a bowl of food was frosted, only the soup was slightly warm, and everyone had no appetite, and it was a little difficult for people like her to swallow, Shen Ai missed the taste of hot pot very much at the moment.

When he returned to the house, Shen Ai borrowed pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from Shen Erye, and drew the charcoal hot pot he had eaten in his previous life, and it took two hours to draw a few pictures that he was more satisfied with, and the room was already full of crumpled and discarded paper balls.

Holding the drawn picture, Shen Ai ran towards the study with a small hand warmer, and when he entered the room, he slapped the drawing on the table, and said to Shen Erye with bright eyes: "Daddy, you go to a few blacksmith shops and finish all the things in these pictures." ”

Second Master Shen put down the book in his hand and took the paintings, looked at the clouds and mist, and couldn't help asking, "What is this?" ”

Shen Aixing said to him angrily: "Daddy, don't worry about it, just let people fight it." ”

Although Shen Erye didn't understand the things asked by his baby daughter, he naturally had to do it seriously, so he sent the servants around him to take the drawings and find three blacksmith shops to make them according to Shen Ai's requirements.

Shen Ai chatted with this spoiled father for a long time with satisfaction.

The next day, because she was worried that things were made separately and that the blacksmith master would not understand, Shen Ai thought about it for a night and decided to go to see it in person, Shen Erye originally wanted to accompany her, but was strongly rejected by her own daughter.

After all, everything must be kept a little mysterious, Shen Ai wanted to surprise the whole family, so he asked the location of the three blacksmith shops and took people out.

The guards who followed were still Zhao Kang's, and after going to the blacksmith shop to confirm it, they would be able to get it in three days, Shen Ai was satisfied and set foot on the way home, and looked at the guards who were already cold and their cheeks were red from the cold on the horse, Shen Ai found a teahouse, and let them drink hot tea to warm their bodies.

I asked the shopkeeper for a private room, and served three pots of hot tea, knowing that she was in these little brothers, she remembered the difference between master and servant, so Shen Ai took the pot into the back room, and left the other two pots for them.

The charcoal fire in the box was burning brightly, and it was estimated that the guards outside were warmed up, Shen Ai took people downstairs, unfortunately, there was a person Shen Ai didn't want to meet, the prince of Beiming!

If he knew that he would have come out late when he met Shen Ai, but now that the two of them had met their eyes, Shen Ai had no choice but to raise a smile and salute him: "Shizi'an." ”

Zhou Li smiled and waved his hand to get up, went up the two steps, and asked, "Coincidentally, the county lord of Anping is going back?" ”

As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit a smiling person, he has such a good attitude and a high status, although he can't see why he, a big man, is full of interest when he sees a five-year-old girl for the first time, Shen Ai has to smile and say: "Yes, my mother won't let me go out for too long." ”

Zhou Li's hand behind his back shook slightly, nodded with a smile, and said, "That's a pity, I want to ask the county lord how the tea in this teahouse is." ”

Shen Aixin secretly rolled her eyes, is this question really appropriate for a five-year-old child? Tilting his head as if frowning, he looked distressed: "It tastes very fragrant, Ai'er can't taste anything." ”

Zhou Li smiled, looking at her cute appearance of tilting her head, her slightly chubby little face was very attractive, and she couldn't help but itch her fingertips slightly, trying her best to suppress the restlessness floating in her heart.

Then he turned his hand behind his back and said with a smile: "In a few days, the prince of Japan will enjoy the plum banquet in the mansion, can the county lord of Anping appreciate his face?" ”

Shen Ai seemed to think for a while: "Mother and father agree that Ai'er can go." ”

A trace of disappointment flashed on Zhou Li's face very quickly, and at this time a person came from behind, and when he saw Zhou Li, he stepped forward to ask for peace with him, and Shen Ai didn't want to be involved with Zhou Li, and after the person said goodbye to her, he said goodbye to Zhou Li and left the teahouse.

Zhou Li, who didn't go up the stairs with the man, glanced back at Shen Ai, who had been carried into the carriage, as if inadvertently, and a light smile flashed on the corner of his lips.

Two days later, I really received the flower sticker of the prince of the Northern Ming Dynasty, and at this time, the Mu family was holding the post to discuss with Shen Erye: "What do you mean by the prince of the Northern Ming Dynasty?" ”

Second Master Shen glanced at the very elegant banquet post, hugged his wife, who was already frowning, and said, "I guess I want to have a good relationship with the people in Beijing, and my father and eldest brother also received the post." "The saint has always been very jealous of the King of Beiming, and his father and eldest brother will never go to this post.

"Let's call ourselves sick at home, and don't let Ai'er go." The last time he fell into the cold water and fell unconscious, he still vividly remembered, and he didn't want to let his baby daughter go alone for the sake of face.

Mu also nodded in agreement, and called someone to take out the post and put it away, the people in the house had already been repatriated, Shen Erye saw that this scene was a good time, and he began to be restless when he held Mu's hand.

Knowing that his father and mother did not plan to go to the banquet of the prince of Beiming, and made her sick, Shen Ai nested in the warm room with satisfaction and watched the two maids embroider their purses.

These things are all for her, and Shen Ai instructed them not to embroider any plums, orchids, etc., how beautiful it is to embroider a duckling, a rabbit, and a little yellow chicken, and it is childlike and suitable for her age.

Lingcui and Lingbi have never seen a young lady hanging this purse embroidered with poultry on her body, but her own young lady has already asked them to embroider these with her righteous words, so she will follow her, this is not in a hurry.

Mama Dong, who went out earlier to see if the bird's nest was cooked, pushed the door in, and a small bowl of stewed bird's nest soup was placed on the tray in her hand, which was placed in front of her table, and said, "Miss, the bird's nest is ready, eat it while it's hot." ”

Shen Ai happily scooped a spoon and blew it into her mouth, bird's nest is the most nourishing, and after falling into the water, she was injured by an arrow, so Mu stopped her for several months, for fear that she would not be replenished, and yesterday she asked a doctor to diagnose her pulse and know that she could eat in moderation, and today she let the kitchen stew bird's nest for her.

A bowl of bird's nest was eaten, and Shen Erye pushed the door in, and saw that she was waiting to see the soup spoon in her hand but still didn't stop, and couldn't help laughing, this greedy girl!

The two maids and Mama Dong bowed and withdrew, Shen Ai finally stopped and asked Shen Erye, who was sitting beside him, "It's so cold, why did Daddy come over?" "It's only the end of October, but it's already getting cold, and it's going to rain in the cold for a few days.

After Shen Erye sat down, he motioned for her to continue the soup, and said, "The things you asked the blacksmith to make are here." He just took a look, he really didn't see what it was for, this girl woke up after falling into the water, and there were a lot of ghost ideas, such as the chrysanthemum wine, he met Jiang Yu on the way, and he was afraid that his store would lose business, so he asked, but he didn't expect that Wanyunlou's business was not lost, but because this baby daughter's chrysanthemum wine was full of customers every day, which made him a little shocked.

However, the chrysanthemum wine is good, and now their family will have a few drinks during the meal, except for a few small ones, and they will also let people warm up the wine when the weather is cold and leisurely.

Hearing that the things were delivered, Shen Ai's eyes lit up, and he quickly drank the bird's nest in the bowl, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "Daddy, take me quickly." ”

Second Master Shen frowned and pressed her in his arms: "If you want to go out, you have to dress warmly." "Said that I called two maids from the outside to come in and change her jacket.

Shen Aihe smiled and put on the clothes and cloak that Lingcui and Lingbi had found, and hugged the warm hand stove before being carried out by Shen Erye.
