After the New Year, Kyoto, which had been silent for a long time, came back to life. Three months have passed since the end of the plague in Jiangnan, and the people seem to have come out of the haze of the plague and no longer mention it from time to time.

At this time, the gate of the Shen Mansion in the southeast of Kyoto was surrounded by people watching the excitement, pointing in the crowd from time to time.

Above the vermilion carved lacquer gate, a golden-red plaque with the inscription of the Shen Mansion was wrapped in a rope, and after a slogan, it was pulled down violently.

The heavy plaque fell to the ground, stirring up puffs of dust, causing the people to exclaim. The guards at the door didn't care, and the two of them pulled the broken plaque away very casually.

Soon, six people came over with a solemn look carrying a plaque covered with red silk, and the guards guarding the door hurriedly cleaned the gate and slowly hung the plaque with cautious movements.

The people stared at the red cloth on the plaque, and they were curious, three months ago, the Shen family was demoted to commoners by the emperor, the family property was filled into the treasury, and the palace was also taken back by the royal family. At that time, many people came to watch the raid, and it took three days to move the gold, silver and jewelry like flowing water, which caused everyone to be stunned. Three years of Qing prefect's mansion 100,000 snowflakes of silver, not to mention the Shen family, who has been prime minister for six years.

Immediately after the plaque was placed, someone stepped forward to hang up the long firecrackers. After a quiet gong sounded, a loud chanting sounded: "The emperor said that the county lord of Zhaohua pays attention to filial piety and misses the old feelings, and specially gives the former residence of the Shen family to the county lord as the mansion, and I admire this!" ”

The sound of firecrackers crackled and I remembered, and the ears of the people who knelt on the ground to listen to the emperor's dictation were numb.

Now who in Kyoto does not know the reputation of the lord of Zhaohua, she is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted, helped so many people in Jiangnan, a few days ago the people of Jiangnan also sent a special umbrella to Wanmin, the umbrella covers the sky and the sun, full of words of gratitude.

In an inconspicuous corner of the next street, a woman in a veiled ordinary costume stared at the plaque covered with silk cloth, and the hatred and anger in her eyes wished to burn the plaque alive. She is Shen Linghan, who was scolded by the cane in the palace for twenty at that time, and her injuries were very serious, and she recuperated for three months before she could barely move freely, but there were still Taoist scars on her legs and back, and every time she looked at those scars, she couldn't wait to crush Shen Ninghua's bones and scatter ashes.

A huge convoy of escorts approached, and the people hurried to avoid both sides of the road. Shen Linghan was trampled on the surface of his feet, and he cursed angrily and pushed the man away. When she looked up again, she happened to see Shen Ninghua getting off the luxurious carriage.

In three months, Shen Ninghua became more and more beautiful and moving, she did not wear the clothes of the county lord, but a simple aqua blue embroidered peony Luo skirt, and the decoration on her head was even simpler, only a white carved hosta was used to pull up the long hair, and six delicate jade buckles of the same color fixed the hair to form an elegant flowing cloud bun.

It is clearly a very simple dress, but under the backdrop of her unparalleled bright face, it reveals a gorgeous color that is difficult to match, fresh and elegant, timeless and noble.

Shen Linghan's eyes were resentful behind the crowd, and his heart was dripping with blood: Shen Ninghua is a mourning star, if it weren't for her, the Shen family would never become like this!

The guards at the door stood in two rows and saluted Shen Ninghua respectfully: "I've seen Lord Zhaohua." ”

"No courtesy," Shen Ninghua's voice was gentle, Xu was because she went to the Shen family, her voice was a little more relaxed, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

The guards said they didn't dare.

Shen Ninghua stepped forward and grabbed the climbing rope hanging down from the red silk cloth on the plaque, and with a slight force, the red satin brush was lifted, revealing several magnificent characters on the plaque: Zhaohua County Lord's Mansion.

Shen Ninghua smiled happily: "Although I don't have a lot of things to prepare, it's also rare, Bizhu, send it to the people around you, everyone will be happy together." ”

Bizhu hurriedly agreed: "Yes, county lord." ”

The people didn't expect that it would be beneficial to watch the excitement here, and they were already a little happy before they saw what Shen Ninghua was going to send.

The guards carried up the six large boxes and placed them on the ground with a dull thud. Bizhu opened the boxes, each neatly stacked with medium-sized boxes. Bizhu asked the guards to keep order and send the gifts down little by little.

Shen Ninghua opened the plaque and entered the mansion, hearing bursts of surprise cheers behind him, a smile flashed in his eyes.

Bai Wei followed her and looked at the surrounding scenery and said happily: "The emperor knows that the young lady wants to live here, and he ordered the renovation three months ago, and this scenery is much more exquisite than before." ”

"It's much more pleasing to the eye than before," Shen Ninghua went to the pavilion by the water and sat down, and immediately someone brought a charcoal basin and a curtain up to block the wind outlet, and after a while, the pavilion became warm, "I have heard news of my father recently." ”

Bai Wei paused slightly: "After hearing that the old man was demoted to a commoner, he borrowed a little money on his body to rent a house on the outskirts of the city, and lived there with Shen Xuanye, Shen Linghan, Shen Xuanlin and other old members of the Shen family at this time. ”

Bai Wei tentatively spoke: "Miss, the slave maid heard that because Young Master Xuanlin was close to you before, Miss Linghan was angry, and often found reasons to beat him, and broke his forehead with wood a few days ago, fortunately, Liuyun found it in time, and took medicine to bandage him, so nothing happened." ”

Shen Ninghua frowned, and the light in his eyes gradually faded a little: "In the end, Shen Dong is biological father, no matter how you say it, you can't lose a word of filial piety, you go and prepare some silver money and gifts, let's go over to see my father, and meet Xuanlin by the way, if he is willing to follow my sister, let Liuyun continue to be his master and teach well." ”

"Yes, miss." Bai Wei was happy in her heart, she didn't like Shen Xuanlin very much at first, but then the time of contact often came, and she also had a little more love, that child has a stubborn personality, but if it is good to you, she will do it wholeheartedly, unlike other people who hide needles in their hearts.

At this time, in a courtyard on the outskirts of the city, Shen Linghan was pinching Shen Xuanlin's arm hard, his face was hideous and twisted, and he couldn't wait to pinch off a piece of meat on him: "Hmph, I thought Shen Ninghua would recognize you as a younger brother, you are just a cheap breed that no one wants, and you are still playing with me, believe it or not, I will directly beat you to death here!" ”

Shen Xuanlin pursed his lips tightly, and his black voice was full of anger: "The eldest sister will recognize me, she said that as long as I am willing to follow her, she will recognize me as a younger brother!" ”

"Haha, it's just to deceive you, a child, you also believe it, Shen Ninghua is a vicious slut, she can't say anything in order to win people's hearts, such a person should be pulled out and cut with a thousand knives." Shen Linghan said, and kicked Shen Xuanlin in the chest, kicking him to the ground.

Shen Xuanlin covered his chest and slowly got up, his cheek was scratched by the ground, and the blood beads quickly oozed out, but he didn't let go at all, and continued to argue: "The eldest sister is the most kind-hearted, only you are vicious, you are completely to blame for falling into this situation, who let you frame the eldest sister all day long!" You'd better kill me today, if not, when I grow up, I'll kill you to make my eldest sister angry! ”

Shen Linghan gritted his teeth: "Okay, good, a little beast from a concubine dares to talk to me like this, I will break your legs, break your bones, and throw you to the side of the street today, I want to see how you grew up to kill me!" ”

Shen Xuanlin clenched the clothes on his chest, his eyes full of hatred.

Shen Linghan picked up the stick that supported the door from the side of the door and smashed it against Shen Xuanlin, who couldn't get up on the ground.

There was the sound of whirring wind in his ears, Shen Xuanlin gritted his teeth tightly, ready to bear the next sharp pain, but he didn't want to hear a clanging sound, followed by Shen Linghan's painful voice.

He opened his eyes and saw the blue finch standing in front of him. His eyes were suddenly filled with bright light, and he turned his head to look at the figure who walked in at the door, and shouted in surprise: "Big sister!" ”

Shen Ninghua looked at Shen Xuanlin, her heart was soft, this child has a stubborn personality, but she trusts her wholeheartedly, so she will not let him down.

Seeing the eldest sister who was thinking about it day and night, Shen Xuanlin immediately got up regardless of the pain in his body, and ran to Shen Ninghua quickly: "Eldest sister, I knew you would come to pick me up." You haven't heard from you for a long time, and I'm so worried about you. ”

Shen Ninghua took his wrist and checked his pulse for him, and only then relieved himself when he saw that he had not suffered any internal injuries: "Shen Linghan is already crazy, you can follow what she says, why be so stubborn, eat a lot of skin and flesh." ”

Shen Xuanlin's face froze: "I can't let him damage your reputation, Master Liuyun said that a woman's reputation is the most important, not to mention that you are my eldest sister, I naturally want to protect you." ”

Shen Ninghua touched his head and was about to speak, when he heard a rush of footsteps at the door.

Shen Dong strode over quickly, and saw Shen Ninghua in the room stop suddenly, with a complicated look in his eyes: "Ninghua, why are you here?" ”

It's only been three months, and Shen Dong seems to be ten years older than before, and his whole person has a sense of twilight: "Father, I heard that you live here, so I came here to take a look, and by the way, I brought some things to visit my grandmother." ”

When Xiao heard that the Shen family was copied, he couldn't stand the stimulation and fainted, and after waking up, he was paralyzed, and now he has to be taken care of three meals a day.

Shen Linghan covered his wrist that was injured by Qingque, and walked up to Shen Ninghua angrily: "Shen Ninghua, we are all harmed by you now, what kind of intentions are you pretending, I forgot, you are now His Royal Highness the Honorable County Lord, and now you are here to see our jokes?" ”

Without the gorgeous clothes and silk jewelry of the past, Shen Linghan's original beauty has been reduced by three points, and now her face is hideous, and her eyes are full of resentful hatred, almost all her beauty is gone.

Shen Ninghua ignored her words at all, turned her head and told Qingque: "You take Xuanlin down to wash, and see if he has anything to pack, take them to the carriage and wait, and when I finish visiting my grandmother, we will go home." ”

"Shen Ninghua, you slut!" Shen Linghan's chest was about to explode with anger, and he raised his slap at Shen Ninghua.

Shen Ninghua pinched her wrist, and her voice was full of coldness: "I don't want to worry about you, you just stay by the side honestly, otherwise, it will be my delusion that you want to live your current life in the future!" "She is not the Holy Mother, Shen Linghan treated her like that at the beginning, even if he ate her alive, it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart, and now it is already merciful to let her live.

Shen Linghan pulled back his arm suddenly, turned around and ran out: Shen Ninghua, don't be complacent, I won't be reconciled, even if there is a little hope, I will make your life worse than death!
