Snow has already fallen in the western cool of late autumn.

In the early morning, Wen Zhiqi hugged his coat and walked cautiously along the shore of the lake in the Hua Garden alone.

This time, he deliberately threw off his subordinates to come out, in order to find a piece of jade pendant - it was the piece of unicorn jade pendant that Wei Changying gave him when he first met Wei Changying.

Originally, this jade pendant was put away by the Qiu family after he brought it back, and he couldn't even mo, and the Tao was to wait for him to become a relative before giving it to him.

But later, after he was poisoned, Qiu was so sad that he thought that the unicorn was a rui beast, and before sending him and Wen Yulan to Xiliang, he deliberately found it and put it in his arms.

Although Shen Zangfeng agreed that he would stay in the Shen family temporarily, after studying with Shen Shuxie, Wei Changying gave their brothers and sisters a similar outfit to Shen Shuxie and others from head to toe. The jade pendant with clothes alone gave a small box. But Wen Zhiqi attaches the most importance to this unicorn jade pendant.

As a result, I was pestered by Shen Shuxie yesterday, and I came to play in the HUA Garden for a while, but I couldn't find it after I went back.

Because the people who accompanied their brothers and sisters to Xiliang for medical treatment were all men, except for the two servants, it was difficult for them to enter the backyard. Now the maids who serve him are all sent by Wei Changying, and when he heard this, Qi was worried that Wei Changying would displease her if he knew that he had lost the meeting gift, so he didn't dare to call the maids to look for him, but he found a reason to rest for a day and drove everyone out of the inner room.

Then he ran out of the yard through the window, and ran all the way to the garden.

At this time, while recalling where he had been yesterday, he was careful not to accidentally fall into the lake - he knew that the cold poison in him was very heavy, although because the man was yang, it would not have much effect if he was good at health and conditioning, but his vitality was greatly damaged. If you fall into the lake again on this cold day, the end can be imagined.

Thinking of the poisonous worries in Laihe, he thought of Fan...... Fan is Wen Yanzi's concubine who is pregnant with a male fetus, she is only eight years older than Wen Zhiqi, she is beautiful and extraordinary, and she can sing and dance, it is said that she was the concubine of a rich and noble family in the past.

Before Wen Lingzi met her, in addition to his wife Qiu, he had already accepted three or five concubines, and he did not favor anyone, and he often accompanied Qiu. After accepting this Fan's family, he lived with the Fan family almost every night.

Wen Zhiqi had also seen his mother Qiu weeping in no one's place, but at that time he didn't think about Fan at all.

In fact, he always thought that Fan was a good person - Fan would not force him to read and learn calligraphy like Qiu, let alone reprimand him for being playful from time to time, he would smile every time he saw him, and often bring him some delicious snacks.

…… The pastry that poisoned the three brothers and sisters and caused the death of his second brother was given to him by Fan and told him to share it among his brother and sister.

He actually believed it, and gave it to his second brother and younger sister without any doubt.

And a brother and a sister who had no doubt about him just ate it......

Thinking about it these days, I heard that Qi was eager to give himself a few knives several times.

But he still held it - Fan is not dead.

The deputy general who sent him to Xiliang explained it like this: "That's your younger brother, what Fan did can't be counted on his head." You have to be considerate of King Yong! ”

But I understand that my father has few heirs, who will be considerate of the innocent second brother and younger sister? Who will understand the grief of the mother Qiu Shi who lost three sons in a row and her only daughter will not be able to have children?

Hearing that Qi took a handful of snow, the young man's childish face showed a trace of desolation that did not match his age......

Suddenly, his eyes froze, and through the snow curtain, on the rocks of the lake not far away, there was a lonely figure, with his eyes closed, his cheek on his embracing lap, as if he was asleep.

But who would come to sleep by this snowy lake early in the morning?

Especially the fourth lady of the Shen family?

Hearing that Qi was busy, Yu Pei couldn't care about looking for it, and walked quickly to the bottom of the lake stone, wanting to push but not daring to push, so he had to ask first: "Miss Shen Si?" Miss Shen Si! ”

"Do what?" What relieved him was that Shen Shuyan just looked like he was asleep, but he didn't. Hearing this, he immediately opened his eyes and looked at him indifferently.

Wen Zhiqi didn't feel scorned about Shen Shuyan's indifference, he had been in Mingpei Hall for a few days, and it could be seen that this Miss Shen Si was motivated by Xing's feelings, and she was lukewarm towards her cousins. For him and Wen Yulan, two outsiders, it would be polite to answer willingly.

At this moment, he hurriedly reminded: "It's cold, don't stay by this lake for long." Looking around, he was surprised, "Where is your maid?" He remembered that there was an inseparable maid named Jiang Heyue by Miss Shen Si's side, who was said to be the daughter of Wei Changying's mother, and her identity was transcendent. Generally speaking, when I saw Shen Shuyan, Jiang Heyue was definitely nearby; Seeing Jiang Heyue, Shen Shuyan would not be far away.

But now he looked white all around, and there was no shadow of the third person at all.

Shen Shuyan turned her head and glanced at him, she was wearing a white fox coat today, which was very inconspicuous in the snow, so much so that she only found her when Wen Zhiqi walked up to her.

However, her face at the moment was not much more ruddy than that of the white fox Qiu, and even her mouth was as pale as paper, and she said lightly: "Didn't you also throw people away?" Otherwise, your Lingzhi there will be willing to let you run out alone? ”

Wen Zhiqi blushed in embarrassment, lowered his head, thought for a while, and persuaded again: "You better go back, or find a sheltered place to enjoy the snow?" It's too windy here, and it's not good for your health. ”

"I'm not admiring the snow." Shen Shuyan retracted his gaze, looked at the lake, and said lightly, "I'm here to blow the wind." ”

"But your body ......"

"Your body is suitable for running out of this ice and snow?" Shen Shuyan sneered, "Do you believe that the matter of your escape was known by the third aunt, and Lingzhi will not be able to escape the beating?" ”

Hearing this, Qi was stunned: "What? ”

Wei Changying pointed to the ambassador Lingzhi who served him, her appearance was mediocre, but she was very gentle and considerate, and from Wei Changying's point of view, this maid was okay. But Wen Zhiqi, who has never enjoyed this kind of meticulous and gentle soft language care, has a good impression of this handmaiden!

Now I heard that I threw her off and ran out, which would cause her to be beaten, and I couldn't help but be shocked!

This expression made Shen Shuyan hook the corners of his mouth, and then he returned to indifference: "She is the one who takes care of you, but something went wrong and let you run out alone." How could the third aunt not punish her? ”

Hearing this, Qi suddenly became anxious: "But this is me who lied to her!" ”

"That's the rule." Shen Shuyan said mockingly, "She didn't take a good look at you, so she should be punished!" Why do you think that our Shen family has no rules like your family, and the concubine who poisoned the children of the concubine can still be temporarily detained for life because she is pregnant? ”

Hearing this, Qi stood there, his face was blue and red for a moment, and he didn't care about looking for Yu Pei and persuading Shen Shuyan, so he stomped his feet, turned around and left directly.

Shen Shuyan glanced at his back lazily, thinking that this kid was kind, and it was no wonder that even a handmaid was beaten so tightly...... will be pitted like this by a concubine!

Hearing that Qi was so interrupted, she lost interest and continued to blow the wind, stood up and went back.

Halfway through, I happened to bump into Jiang Heyue, who was looking for her and was about to go crazy, grabbed the sleeve of her coat and cried: "Where have you been?" ”

"I was upset, so I walked casually. Isn't this coming back? Shen Shuyan said calmly, "Let's go back." ”

She doesn't like Jiang Heyue very much, it's not all because Jiang Heyue stares at her closely, and it's not that Jiang Heyue doesn't care about serving her. It was Jiang Heyue's special identity that made Shen Shuyan jealous of her aunt Wei Changying, and many times she had to listen to her a few words of persuasion - in fact, she also knew that this was the reason why Wei Changying sent Jiang Heyue to serve her, because ordinary maids didn't dare to say anything when they came to her.

For Shen Shuyan, who is not very good-tempered, it is really troublesome to have someone around him who needs to be treated by his temper often.

But Jiang Heyue likes her very much, Jiang Heyue, like Wen Yulan, respects learned people.

Shen Shuyan, who has a bad temper, is recognized as talented, and in the eyes of people like Jiang Heyue, a talented woman like her is more scathing and mean, which is called true love.

This will be chattering all the way about this snowy day, Shen Shuyan's body is not very good, and he really shouldn't run out all the time.

Shen Shuyan frowned and listened, really annoyed in his heart......

But today's trouble was not over, and when she returned to the gate of her yard, she saw Lianju waiting there.

Shen Shuyan sighed in his heart, and stepped forward to excuse the courtesy: "The third aunt called you here?" ”

"The third lady was very surprised to hear that the fourth lady had entered the garden early this morning, and asked the maid to come and ask you." Lianju said respectfully.

“…… I just went in and took a turn, such a trivial matter, why should I alarm the third aunt? Shen Shuyan frowned, wondering why Qi had so many mouths?

But Lian Ju smiled and refused to be accommodating at all, and she had to go to see Wei Changying.

Shen Shuyan had no choice but to go with her.

When he arrived in front of Wei Changying, he didn't see Qi there, and he didn't know if he left first.

After being called, Shen Shuyan took the initiative to say: "This morning, I saw the snow outside, and suddenly became poetic, so I quietly went to the garden for a walk, looking for some good sentences." Where did I think that my aunt was worried, but in fact, there was nothing to do. ”

Wei Changying stroked the lid of the tea bowl, smiled lightly and asked her to sit down and speak: "Aunt Huang's handmade rose and red date soup, this is good for our woman's health." Drink a little while it's hot. ”

Shen Shuyan took a few sips casually, and put bee mi in the soup, which was slightly sweet, and the aroma of roses was wrapped between his teeth, and his whole body was warm after drinking.

She praised a good word, and Wei Changying smiled and said, "I also think that the soup made by my aunt is good, so someone asked you to come over and taste it together." ”

Shen Shuyan had no choice but to say, "Aunt Xie is worried." ”

"I've always wanted a daughter since I had Guang'er, but Xie'er is not only a boy, but also naughty to give me a headache." Wei Changying said leisurely: "So I have always tried my best to treat your nieces and Yiren as my own daughters. ”

She stopped what Shen Shuyan was about to say, and sighed lightly, "It's a pity that no matter how much I treat you as my own daughter, I am not the one who gave birth to you after all!" ”

"My aunt has always treated her niece as if she were her own." Shen Shuyan was silent for a moment, and said, "Although my niece is not sensitive, she is not unaware. ”

"I'm not trying to remind you that I'm good to you." Wei Changying put down the tea bowl, motioned for both the left and right to retreat, and said, "But since you also think that I am also good to you, then I will say a few words to you today as your mother!" ”！。
