A meal, the guests and hosts enjoy it. When it was over, the crowd dispersed. Weixi and Yunxi invited Shen Qingru to play, but Shen Qingru politely refused.

Everyone is gone, leaving only Xiao Ran and Wen Zisheng. The former is going to stay here all day today. The latter was deliberately left by Shen Qingru.

Shen Qingru took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Wen Zisheng, who took it and was about to open it. was stopped by Shen Qingru: "Go back and see." ”

Wen Zisheng didn't know what kind of medicine Shen Qingru was selling in the gourd, and when he saw that he was serious, he was also good. He took the two altars of general drunk sent by Shen Qingru before returning to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

After sending Wen Zisheng away, Shen Qingru did not return to the palace immediately. Instead, he went to the Pleasant Goat. Xiao Yuan didn't know what he had talked about with Jiang Zifeng, and hurried back to the barracks as soon as the meal was over. Jiang Zifeng also rushed back to the Jiang family's ancestral home. Until the end, Shen Qingru and Jiang Zifeng didn't say a word.

Shen Qingru came to the Pleasant Goat, it was for Chang Shan and Liu Qi, these two people went to the border for many days, and there was no news, Shen Qingru remembered it very much.

Still entering through the back door, Aunt Liu received her. When I asked, I found out that Aunt Liu didn't receive any news here.

Shen Qingru knew in her heart that most of the time she ran in vain, and if Aunt Liu wanted to get the news, she would definitely pass it on to her as soon as possible. Seeing that Shen Qingru was worried, Aunt Liu explained instead: "The princess doesn't have to worry too much, the mountains are steady, and the little seven spirits are excited, and everything will be fine." The border is far away, and even if there is news, it will take some time. ”

After staying in Pleasant Goat for half an hour, Shen Qingru returned to the palace. With the experience of Xiao Yuesi last time, Shen Qingru still walked through the back door when he left.

Wen Zisheng over there followed what Shen Qingru said, and only opened the envelope when he returned to the Pingyang Hou Mansion, which was startled. Hurriedly closed the envelope and went to find Mrs. Pingyang Hou. At this time, Pingyang Hou was still in his post, and the old lady Fu looked for Dean Meng to play chess. The only people in the mansion who can call the shots are Mrs. Pingyang Hou and Mrs. Wen.

Wen Zisheng blew in like a gust of wind, and Mrs. Pingyang Hou was startled at first, and then said with a straight face: "What a person, he is still doing things so vigorously." When will you be able to hold on? ”

The elder brother was trained, Wen Shu was in a happy mood, with a beautiful face, a smile, and a voice like a spring breeze, which was very good, "Brother, didn't you go to see the lobster shop open?" Coming back? ”

Xiao Ran also invited Wen Shu, but knowing that Lan Yu would go, Wen Shu was a little apprehensive in his heart, and Wen Zisheng obstructed him in every way, so he didn't go. At this moment, seeing Wen Zisheng coming back, he knew that it must be Xiao Ran's end.

Wen Zisheng ignored the words of the two and raised the envelope in his hand, "Mother, little sister, look at this." ”

Mrs. Pingyang Hou took the envelope suspiciously, Wen Shu leaned over, and the two looked at it hastily, glanced at each other, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

There were only two pieces of paper in the thin envelope, one of which was a letter written by Shen Qingru. It's very short, to the effect that I didn't know anything before, thanks to the care of my grandfather and my uncle's family. This is a small gift for Wen Zisheng to marry. The second is the deed, which transfers a percentage of the shares of the lobster shop.

Although it is only one percent, but after seeing the popularity of today's lobster shop, Wen Zisheng knows that this one, the annual dividend, is at least a few thousand taels.

Mrs. Pingyang Hou held the envelope, her heart was shocked, and she was moved again. Really speaking, except for Shen Qingru's dowry when she got married, in other places, the Pingyang Marquis Mansion did not take care of Shen Qingru too much. Shen Qingru reciprocated the favor like this and gave a big gift, this heart, Mrs. Pingyang Hou always undertook it.

"Mother, this is a share?" Wen Zisheng's eyes stared straight at the deed, Shen Qingru was white and black, and said that he would give it to him. It's not that Wen Zisheng is greedy for money, but he knows that Shen Qingru is not short of money. Xiao Ran and Shen Qingru monopolized the entire lobster market, and Xiao Ran did not hide this from him. Not only him, but Lan Yu, Ji Ruchuan and others also knew, and thought about whether to go through the back door from Xiao Ran and open a lobster shop. So this money, he didn't have a burden at all. As for Shen Qingru's goodness, just keep it in mind.

Wen Zisheng is afraid that his mother's temperament will come up, and he doesn't want a lot of silver. Just as she was about to persuade her, Mrs. Pingyang Hou had already folded the envelope and put it in her arms. smiled and glanced at Wen Zisheng: "Don't worry, your mother is not so pedantic." This is your clear cousin's heart, whether you are good or bad in the future, you have to remember this love. ”

"Uh-huh." Wen Zisheng nodded frequently, "Mother, this is given to me by my cousin, are you ......?"

Seeing Mrs. Pingyang Hou put away the letter along with the deed, Wen Zisheng was a little red-eyed. Although he said that he was a thousand gold, if he really changed his career to selling paintings, it is estimated that he would not want to enter the gate of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. Only when he is really shy in his pocket, he will find Xiao Ran as a middleman and secretly sell two pieces. Xiao Ran, who is shameless, has to share forty percent every time. He is also taking a risk to say anything. Wen Zisheng, who was angry, couldn't help but burst into foul language. He took a risk of, and no one in Prince Xiao's Mansion cared about him. But I was afraid that my father and grandfather would find out. Now, a large amount of silver is in front of him, how can Wen Zisheng be willing to miss it?

"Want a deed?" Mrs. Pingyang Hou had not yet spoken, Wen Shu asked with a smile.

"Uh-huh." Wen Zisheng nodded. How did he think that the girl's smile was so similar to her grandfather's, like a fox.

Wen Shu followed the good show: "It's simple." Wait for your brother to find the person you like and marry your daughter-in-law. Mother will give you the deed. ”

"Shu'er is right. You're not too young. The children of Qingru and Mingru can run away. You're alone. Mrs. Pingyang Hou said. Wen Zisheng is almost twenty years old, and seeing that a circle of handkerchiefs has become a grandmother, Mrs. Pingyang Hou is anxious like something. But back then, she promised that the parents of a pair of children would be decided by themselves. I can't regret it now.

Wen Zishengjun's face darkened. I didn't want the silver, and immediately slipped away: "I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”

Looking at her son who ran away in the blink of an eye, the corner of Mrs. Pingyang's eyes twitched. Turning his gaze to Wen Shu, Wen Shu, who was snickering, changed his face and said seriously: "I remember, I haven't finished reading the book sent by my grandfather." I'm gone, mother. ”

Leaving Mrs. Pingyang Hou alone to stare dryly.

At that time, Shen Qingru had already returned to the Forgotten Moon Residence.

Xu heard the voice, and Xiao Baozi kicked out in the stroller. Aunt Lan and the others followed closely to the side.

The little one can barely walk on his own, but he can't call people yet. Seeing Shen Qingru, waving his two little fat hands, he seemed very happy.

Shen Qingru stepped forward to pick him up and touched his nose with his hand, causing the little guy to "giggle" and laugh. Mai Er took a rattle and shook it on the side, and the little bun gave up Shen Qingru and went to grab the rattle.

Mai'er swayed from side to side, but he didn't give it to him. Xiao Baozi was not in a hurry, and persevered to catch it again and again. In the end, Mai'er was afraid that he would be tired, so she gave it to him. Who knew that the little guy was not interested in taking the rattle, so he stuffed it into Shen Qingru's arms and grabbed Shen Qingru's belt to play.

Aunt Hua smiled: "No wonder they all say that Xiao Shizi is different, this kind of heart is what ordinary children don't have." When you grow up, you must be the dragon and phoenix among people. ”

Shen Qingru hugged the little guy, his heart was stuffed, "I am satisfied if he can grow up safely and live a happy life." ”

Mai Er said: "With you and Shiziye, Xiao Shizi will not be allowed to walk sideways in the capital in the future." Mai'er envy, it's really a life, she was born a maid, and Xiao Ji'er is destined to be unspeakably expensive.

"Like Xiao Ran?" Shen Qingru imagined for a moment, "Then forget it." I'm definitely going to be a few years older. ”

Thinking of Xiao Ran's living treasure, even Aunt Hua couldn't help laughing.

At this time, a little maid came to report: "Concubine Qin asks to see, does the princess want to see her?" ”

Shen Qingru didn't know what Qin Xiyan was doing, so he straightened his clothes and said, "Please come in." ”

After a while, he saw Qin Xiyan's delicate figure coming slowly, and when he got closer, he saluted Shen Qingru and said, "I've seen the princess, I've seen the little princess." ”

Shen Qingru waved his hand: "Get up." Mai'er, look at the seats. ”

She was in the yard, where there were only two rocking chairs and a swing, and there was no place for Qin Xiyan.

Mai'er instructed the little girl to bring a chair, and Qin Xiyan thanked her, and then sat down.

As soon as he sat down, he praised: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and the little world is getting better and better." ”

Xiao Baozi is simply a miniature version of Xiao Yuan. Gradually grown, the eyebrows are handsome, the white and tender little face is with baby fat, a pair of clear big eyes, and the pink carving is really likeable.

Shen Qingru agreed with Qin Xiyan's words very much in her heart, but said on her lips: "Concubine Side praised." ”

Qin Xiyan said: "I'm telling the truth, if you want to talk about blessings, who is better than the deceased princess." ”

Shen Qingru lowered her head and smiled, but did not answer. Among a large group of people, the one she was most wary of was Qin Xiyan. This person's identity is unknown, his purpose is unknown, but the city government is extremely deep, he can bend and stretch, no more than the palace spirit, and he has so many handles to grasp. Since the last time Shen Ningru had an accident in the palace, Qin Xiyan lived in seclusion every day, and he could catch up with the previous princess. It is estimated that many people have forgotten that there is such a side concubine in the house.

Speaking of which, Qin Xiyan has not had a good time recently. Not to mention that Xiao Yuan no longer trusts her, just because Shen Qingru and Xiao Yuan have such a good relationship, the damage to her is incomparable. There are many subordinates in the palace who tend to be inflammatory, although they don't dare to be too blatant, but the food and clothing of Qiushuiju are much worse than before. If it weren't for Qin Xiyan's still some means, it would have been even worse.

Shen Qingru didn't understand what this person was looking for her, so she got straight to the point and said, "Is there something wrong with the side concubine looking for me?" ”

"I haven't seen the princess for a long time, come and visit." Qin Xiyan's sense of proportion is very good, and he doesn't say annoying words, just like this, and then turns to the topic: "Tomorrow I want to go to Daye Temple to offer incense, do you want to go with the princess?" ”

Speaking of Daye Temple, Shen Qingru couldn't help but think of what happened at the beginning, his heart swayed, and he shook his head and said, "I still have something to do tomorrow, so I won't go." The concubine will go by herself. ”

Qin Xiyan seemed a little disappointed, but still said: "The matter of the princess is important. ”

Shen Qingru couldn't figure out her intentions, so she coped with a few words painlessly, Qin Xiyan was also very knowledgeable, and soon left.

Mai'er said, "What the hell is she here for?" ”

"Who knows." Shen Qingru replied absentmindedly. She didn't know what Qin Xiyan was doing on this trip.
