Chapter 281: Three Heads?
Plus more for pink

Zhen Shi Niang smiled brightly, "...... Many people believe it, and maybe there is. ”
Princess Nanjun was stunned.
Zhen Shi Niang changed the topic, "...... Does the little county lord of the waterwheel still like it? ”
"Oh......" The princess came back to her senses, "I like it very much, I forgot if you don't ask, before I came, Xiang'er also told me to ask who made the waterwheel...... "The waterwheel was taken back, the prince and the little county lord couldn't put it down, especially the prince, who was excited to find a craftsman overnight to study, but the whole waterwheel was riveted and inlaid, and there was not a single nail, and everyone was dumbfounded after dismantling, remembering that her daughter had stayed up for two nights without sleep, and she couldn't restore it, Princess Nanjun looked at Zhen Shi Niang's eyes full of expectation.
Before she came, the king of Nanjun said that he would invite people to the southwest at all costs.
She's ready to pay a lot of money to dig into the wall.
"It's my uncle." Zhen Siniang said with a smile, "I heard the general say that he liked to tinker with these when he was a child, and he was infatuated with Lian ......" I want to say that the infatuated even gave up his fame, thinking of Shen Zhongxin's admiration for the little county lord, Zhen Siniang's voice stopped abruptly.
Although the status is rewarded, seeing that the princess of Nanjun is open-minded and easy-going, and has a kind of otherworldly bearing, faintly, she feels that this thing may not be impossible, but she doesn't want the princess of Nanjun to look down on Shen Zhongxin.
"Your uncle?" Princess Nanjun was stunned, "It's the one who said goodbye to the Wu family?" ”
Zhen Siniang remembered the relationship between Princess Nanjun and the Zheng family, and said secretly, "She probably also knew about the second brother scolding Wu Zhixian in the Hanlin Academy, right?" ”
Zhen Siniang wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Shen Zhongxin, does this count as moving a stone and hitting yourself in the foot?
"The general's vein is thin, I ...... this little uncle," Zhen Siniang said lightly.
The princess frowned.
There was silence in the room.
Qiu Ju walked in and whispered to Zhen Shi Niang's ear, "...... The second master's stone-throwing car model is ready, waiting for you outside. ”
Knowing that she has guests, just put the stone throwing cart down and leave. Shen Zhongxin heard that the princess was coming, and deliberately sent it to the door for people to see, right?
Zhen Siniang was amused in her heart, and at the same time admired Shen Zhongxin's courage and stubbornness.
After a little hesitation, the princess who was looking at her explained, "It's my uncle, yesterday the general was very interested in seeing him draw a stone-throwing car, so he asked him to make a model and take a look at it first. ”
saw that Zhen Shi Niang took the maids out. Princess Nanjun quietly came to the door.
Shen Zhongxin, who Zhen Shi Niang received in the small hall next door, had a very low voice and couldn't hear clearly. Princess Nanjun heard what Zhen Shi Niang said, so she sent Shen Zhongxin out, and when she heard the footsteps, Princess Nanjun hurriedly dodged away and looked out through the bead curtain on the door.
Shen Zhongxin inherited his father's handsomeness like Shen Zhongchi. The difference is that because of his soft temperament, he lacks Shen Zhongchi's domineering and ruthlessness, and looks more elegant, and the sunlight is reflected on the moon-white brocade robe through the bright glass in front of the window, shining with a faint glow. It's unspeakably romantic.
Princess Nanjun couldn't help but settle there.
Seeing Shen Zhongxin away, Zhen Siniang came to the door of the living room and remembered something. Turning around and beckoning the little girl, "Refill the pot of hot tea." Then he pushed the door open and walked in.
Princess Nanjun was sitting upright in her chair and contemplating.
“…… Let the princess wait for a long time. Zhen Siniang smiled and took the tea served by the little maid, and personally poured a cup of hot tea for the princess and handed it over.
The princess looked up at her, "What kind of catapult?" ”
Zhen Shi Niang beckoned the little maid to bring the stone throwing cart over, "...... It's a chariot that throws stones. He took a grain of Mao Dan as a stone and showed it to the princess. He smiled, "...... The general said that this can be used to attack the city during the battle. It's a very powerful weapon, I don't understand. ”
“…… This is also made by your uncle? The princess's eyes widened in surprise.
Zhen Shi Niang nodded and introduced Shen Zhongxin's situation.
The princess listened carefully, and then remembered the Wu family's divorce, "...... Why didn't it work out? ”
Zhen Shi Niang sighed, "It's because he doesn't want to get married, and the general and his mother-in-law are pressing." "You don't know, last time my godmother forced Brother Xiao to introduce him to Miss Lu Jiaqi, and he deliberately pulled Miss Lu Qi's cousin to drink flower wine...... "Sooner or later, the princess will have to know these things, rather than letting others smear them, it is better to make it clear as soon as possible, when the joke is finished, Zhen Siniang sighed, "The general is just this younger brother, and he has indulged him a little, so he has to find a like-minded person." Looking up at Princess Nanjun, "Is there a good girl around the princess?" ”
The princess remembered her daughter who had broken the marriage contract several times in the same way as Shen Zhongxin, and said secretly, "...... They were a natural pair. ”
After another conversation, the princess got up and said goodbye, and never mentioned Grandma Zheng.
Zhen Shiniang breathed a long sigh of relief.
“…… Sister-in-law, this chair is too boardy, I'll make you a rocking chair tomorrow, spread it with soft fur, and you can lie down on it to rest when you're tired. Shen Zhongxin circled around Zhen Shi Niang like a dog, and he was going to do this for her for a while, and he was going to make that for her for a while.
Qiu Ju and the others covered their mouths and smiled.
was troubled, Zhen Siniang waved his hand to let him out.
Shen Zhongxin looked at Zhen Shi Niang with a red face, and it took a long time before he retreated.
"The slave and maid look at the second master, do you really like the little county lord......" Seeing Shen Zhongxin's back disappear outside the door, Dong Ju said, "Madame, let's help him talk about it." ”
"Speak for whom?" Shen Zhongqi pushed the door in, and when he heard this, he looked down at Zhen Shi Niang's face, "How are you looking today?" ”
“…… General so early today? Zhen Siniang put down the pen and stood up.
"The old ministry went back to Beijing to report on work, everyone Zhang Luo wanted to go to Deyuelou to get together, and I came back to change clothes......" After dispersing, he was surrounded by the old department, and on the way to Deyuelou, he heard Rongsheng say that Zhen Shiniang went out with Dou Zhang to choose a site, and Shen Zhongqi rushed back with an excuse to change clothes, "Are you not tired?" And he asked, "...... Is there anything you are satisfied with? ”
Qiu Ju had already turned around and picked up a stone blue brocade gown, and Zhen Siniang personally waited for Shen Zhongqi to change it, "I'm not very satisfied." Sighed, "It's really not good, just want the one near the Five Cities Terracotta Division, although the courtyard is small, the room is enough." ”
Hearing Zhen Shi Niang's reluctant tone, Shen Zhongzhen frowned.
“…… If you are not satisfied, look for it again, and you are not in a hurry at this time. Seeing that Zhen Siniang was wrapping around his waist to tie him with a belt, the whole person was attached to his chest, and a faint medicinal fragrance on his body went straight to the bottom of his heart, Shen Zhongqi couldn't help but hug her, "200,000 taels is not much, let's just want the old mansion of Princess Changning." He really couldn't bear to watch her toss like this.
Zhen Shi Niang's face turned red, she stretched out her hand to push, and when she raised her head to look at Shen Zhongchi, she had no time to hide the melancholy in her eyes, and her heart trembled for no reason, and she saw that the maids had retreated, her body instantly softened, and her hands circled Shen Zhongchi's waist, "Well, I'll think about it again......" looked up at Shen Zhongchi, and said softly, "Drink less wine, getting drunk always hurts your body." ”
Shen Zhongchi's eyes lit up aggressively, and suddenly he was as dazzling as the noon sun.
"Got it......" He gently pecked Zhen Shi Niang on the forehead.
The flush spread along her cheeks to her neck, but Zhen Siniang didn't dodge and buried her face in front of Shen Zhongchi's chest.
It's rare for Zhen Siniang to be so affectionate, Shen Zhongqi couldn't open her legs, and she kept warm for a while before she reluctantly let go of her under Zhen Siniang's urging. I didn't come back until Wu Shi, I didn't drink too much wine, but I didn't drink less, knowing that Zhen Siniang didn't like the smell of wine on him, I washed up well, drank two bowls of decanting soup, and then returned to the bedroom.
Zhen Shi Niang hadn't slept yet, put down the book and sat up, "...... Is it the old ministry that came back from the border gate? ”
"It's all from the Yiyue border......" Shen Zhongqi got on the bed, stretched out his hand to hug Zhen Shi Niang, touched the cold on his body and endured it, hid by the bed, and covered Zhen Shi Niang with a quilt, "They all crawled out of the pile of dead people back then, and they couldn't help but sigh when they met, so they drank a few more glasses." He explained softly.
“…… Do they recognize the pottery horse? "Zhen Shi Niang came to the spirit.
I asked Du's mother from the palace about Princess Changning and the concubine, and Du's mother didn't know much, only that Tao Zhuoma went to the Yanzhou border six years ago and was transferred to the Yiyue border three years ago.
"Tao Juma is guarding Julu Pass, and they often meet......" Shen Zhongqi nodded, "What?" ”
“…… Do they know what happened back then, and why didn't Tao Horse return for six years? Zhen Shi Niang's voice was rarely excited.
Shen Zhongqi turned his head suspiciously.
Zhen Shi Niang has never been interested in these.
"If we can know this, maybe we can know why Princess Changning disposed of that old mansion, and where is her bottom line?" I can't talk to Princess Changning because they don't know anything about Princess Changning.
As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles.
Shen Zhongqi really frowned and pondered, "Everyone at the wine table really mentioned Tao Yuma, he is also very bitter over there, and there has not been a woman around him for many years, but no one dares to ask him these things." He changed the topic, "I vaguely heard that it seems that Princess Changning gave birth to a demon six years ago, which frightened the pottery horse and was about to throw it away, but Princess Changning insisted on raising ......."
Wickedness?
Zhen Shi Niang remembered the story of the tanuki changing the prince that she had seen in her previous life, "...... Could it be that someone has changed it? She looked up at Shen Zhongchi, "The favorite concubine in the Horse Mansion?" ”
"Marrying Banzai's favorite sister, the eldest princess of the royal family, how dare Tao Fuma take a concubine?" Shen Zhongqi smiled and scratched her nose, "I refuse to say that their husband and wife have always been very affectionate back then." ”
Zhen Shi Niang frowned, "...... Could it be the same as Brother Xun of Zheng Mansion, what kind of disease did he have? As a modern person, she didn't believe that there were really demons in this world.
"No, it won't." Shen Zhongqi shook his head affirmatively, "It is said that someone saw it with their own eyes, and it is also said that it is two heads and four arms, four heads and eight arms, and everything is said, in short, it must have several heads and several hands......"
With so many heads and arms growing alive, how can this be a disease?!
