Shen Yanling didn't delay much, and soon returned to the Hou Mansion, although Shui Yan said that Ning'er was fine, but he didn't see that Ning'er and the child were safe and sound, Shen Yanling was still not at ease.

When Shen Yanling returned to the Hou Mansion, Ning Er had already returned to the Hou Mansion and was bringing the cake she brought back to the old lady to eat. Fresh things are generally of interest to everyone, and the old lady is also full of praise for Ning Er's cake, Shen Yanxin is by her side, but Chu Yanran, who has always followed the old lady, is gone. Shen Yanling didn't care about others, and sat next to Ning Er after giving the old lady a salute.

Ning'er was tired after shopping with the children for a day, and after giving the jade bracelet she bought for the old lady to the old lady, she took the child back to the room with Shen Yanling.

After Shen Yanling's family left, the old lady looked at the high-quality jade bracelet in her hand, and had to admit that Ning Er had a good eye, and this pair of jade bracelets was very suitable for the old lady, but with the old lady's eyes, she could naturally see that this jade bracelet was worth a lot of money. The corners of his lips hooked up a smile, and he said to Shen Yanxin: "Your sister-in-law is not an ordinary person!"

Shen Yanxin smiled and said: "I don't know about the third sister-in-law's maiden family, but the third sister-in-law bought a lot of things today, and paid for Yanran's cousin, I think the third sister-in-law is really as she said, she is not short of money." ”

The old lady listened to Shen Yanxin's words, and remembered that Chu Yanran came back angrily today, so she understood, sighed and said, "Yanran, that kid was spoiled by the eldest brother. Her little thoughts, where can I not understand, what about living in the Hou Mansion, I know Yunqiao's temperament, if Yanran does anything excessive, you just have to fight back, you don't have to look at my face. My father is also confused about money and power, he doesn't bring it in life, he doesn't bring it in death, why should he be so obsessed. ”

"Mother......

"Mother knows that you are a good child, but in a family like ours, it is not enough to be kind-hearted. Mother doesn't want you to work hard to calculate and plan, but you have to keep your own things, Mother doesn't ask Yunqiao to have three wives and four concubines, the inner courtyard is complicated is definitely not a good thing for a family, but you must guard the inner courtyard for Yunqiao. The status of the Marquis of Dingbei is respected, and there are definitely many people who want to marry into the Hou Mansion, Yanran is just one of them, my mother can't protect you for a lifetime, those people must be cleaned up by yourself, Yanxin, do you understand?" the old lady sighed.

"Thank you for your teachings, Yanxin understands. Shen Yanxin knew that the old lady was teaching herself, and she was also sincerely helping herself.

The old lady nodded, and said: "Your third brother and third sister-in-law are all smart people, and they deliberately came to live in the Hou Mansion, so they naturally want to help you, I guess, they will return to the Shen family soon!"

Shen Yanxin nodded and said, "Grandfather is worried that it will affect the third brother's preparation for the examination, and the time is set for after the examination, and the third brother and I will recognize our ancestors and return to the Shen family." ”

"That's fine, although we don't care, but what is most lacking in Beijing is people who tend to be inflammatory, and with the protection of the Shen family, you can also be more relaxed. "The old lady does not want her daughter-in-law to be from a famous family, but it is difficult to find a suitable daughter-in-law in Beijing, and the Dingbei Hou Mansion has never participated in partisan disputes, but many big clans want to marry with the Hou Mansion, and only the Taifu Mansion of the Qinggui family is the most suitable, but it is a pity that the Taifu Mansion has no daughter. Since Shen Yanxin is a member of the Taifu Mansion, it is naturally good to recognize his ancestors and return to the Shen family.

Shen Yanxin nodded, in the future, with the Shen family and her brother protecting her, she will have an easier time in Beijing.

Shen Yanling and Ning Er took the child back to the courtyard where they lived and sent the child away, and Shen Yanling asked about the day. Ning Er smiled and said: "It's nothing, I think the things in Xihe Town that day and today's things are just small fights, I'm afraid there will be big moves soon." ”

Shen Yanling nodded, if you want to create chaos, this action is far from enough, there must be a bigger action, thinking for a moment, Shen Yanling sighed: "I will try it in a few days, that is a good opportunity." ”

Ning Er nodded and said, "Yes, if something happens in the examination hall, it will definitely cause a big mess, Yanling, what are you going to do." ”

"In these two actions, there are secret doors, they must be on guard against the secret doors, I think, drag my brother-in-law in!" Shen Yanling said.

"You mean, let the guards in the capital handle it?" asked Ning'er.

"Not bad. Shen Yanling nodded, "After these two actions, they must have known that this matter was taken over by the secret door, and they would definitely guard against the actions of the secret door, but they should not have thought that the guards of the capital would be involved." I joined forces with Yunqiao, and I don't think I will travel cuò. ”

"Okay, I don't want to ask more about you, but they should have been doing a lot of things recently, and we can say that we can't prevent it, I'm afraid that someone will kill innocent people. Ning Er said this, inevitably a little troubled.

At this point, Shen Yanling had no choice but to sigh: "I have arranged for people to patrol the capital, but I have no way to guarantee that no one will be killed." ”

Time flies very fast, and today is the day of the test. In the morning, Shen Yanling packed up her things and went to the Tribute Courtyard with her luggage.

Shen Yanling and Ning Er didn't care very much about whether they could be admitted to the Jinshi, but they thought that the people hiding in the shadows were likely to take this opportunity to create chaos, and Ning Er was still worried about Shen Yanling. Shen Yanxin didn't know the reason, thinking that Ning Er was worried about Shen Yanling's exam, so he deliberately invited Ning Er to the Guangming Temple outside the city to offer incense and pray for blessings. Ning Er couldn't refuse, so she had to ask Shangguan Shui Tong to send someone to secretly protect Shen Yanling>

Pan Xuan judged the >

Taking the carriage of the Hou Mansion, Shen Yanxin, Ning Er and Lou Qianqiu went to Guangming Temple outside the city, Yutang stayed in the house to accompany the old lady Murong, Ah Zheng and A Ping went to the Taifu Mansion, and the two old men ordered someone to pick them up early in the morning. Shen Yanxin had never seen Lou Qianqiu, but Lou Qianqiu was simple and kind, Shen Yanxin was gentle and amiable, and the two quickly became acquainted, with them talking beside her, Ning Er's worries were also evacuated.

Guangming Temple is not far away, less than an hour, the carriage arrived in front of the temple gate. It is said that Guangming Temple seeks fame and fame, so during the scientific examination, many candidates' relatives will go to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, and people come and go in front of the temple gate is very lively. Ning Er didn't really understand why the pure land of Buddhism could also seek fame, but she only wanted to seek peace, so she followed the flow into the temple and incense.

Shen Yanxin is the wife of the Marquis of Dingbei, and the monks in the temple also received the incense in the temple, Ning'er didn't like to listen to the scriptures, so she refused to be accompanied by the monks.

In the middle of March, the peach blossoms of Guangming Temple bloomed just right, and in a peach forest, many official women wandered together. Ning Er likes peach blossoms very much, and the peach blossom sleeves that reached out to pick the branches slid down from her wrists, revealing the shallow peach blossom marks on her wrists. The snow-white wrist and the scorching peach blossom mark showed a hint of demonization.

"Sister, the peach blossoms on your wrists are so beautiful, are they painted?" Lou Qianqiu asked curiously.

Shen Yanxin looked at Ning Er's outstretched arm when he heard this, and sure enough, a bewitching peach blossom bloomed on Ning Er's white wrist.

Ning Er glanced at the peach blossom on her wrist and said with a smile: "It's just a birthmark, when I was a child, my master saw it, and said that I must be a beauty when I grow up, so that my father has always been worried that I will become a disaster, and I don't know how many nobles have been rejected to propose marriage, lest I accidentally become a bewitching queen of the country." ”

"My father-in-law's worries are not bad, when I first arrived in the capital, I heard that the queen mother is beautiful, and then I saw it, far less than the third sister-in-law, if the third sister-in-law really marries into a wealthy family, it really has the potential to bring disaster to the country and the people. Shen Yanxin smiled.

My father often said that my mother was a great beauty, but unfortunately I did not inherit it, otherwise I would have lost a group of people, and now when I see the face of my brother, I often feel inferior. Lou Qianqiu smiled with some envy.

"You refused to marry Ah Yun at that time, wouldn't it be because Ah Yun was too beautiful! Ying Ying also said such things before, I couldn't understand it at the time, but I really realized it when I saw Yan Ling later. But it doesn't matter, do you know what your cousin said about Ah Yan at the beginning?"

"What do you say?" Shen Yanxin and Lou Qianqiu both asked curiously.

Ning Er smiled mysteriously and said: "Cousin said, Ah Yun must be good at learning martial arts, otherwise he will definitely let the gentleman be regarded as a beauty and rush to the house as a concubine, so angry that Ah Yun almost lost his cousin's house." Don't let Ah Tong know this, otherwise Ah Yun will definitely not let me go. ”

Shen Yanxin and Lou Qianqiu grinned and nodded solemnly, they believed that Shangguan Shuitong would definitely kill people if they knew about it.

The three of them wandered in the peach forest, and when they met someone who was familiar with Shen Yanxin, they would stop talking, but Shen Yanxin didn't grow up in the capital after all, and she didn't have many friends, because of Yunqiao's relationship, there were many people who didn't like her.

The three of them walked for a while, and when they were a little tired, they sat down to rest. Guangming Temple will have a lot of people to play in the temple every spring, especially this piece of peach forest, in order to facilitate visitors to enjoy, the temple also placed a lot of stone tables and stone chairs in the peach forest, placed tea, for visitors to rest. Sitting under the peach tree, Ning Er scooped the teacup and poured the tea, the weather has become warmer, and the wind is beautiful, and the peach blossoms on the human face are contrasting.

It's just that there are always people who like to spoil this beauty. Ning'er poured tea for Shen Yanxin and Lou Qianqiu to drink, the two were not picky about tea, and drank tea to quench their thirst when they were tired. At this time, two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls came together, one of them was Chu Yanran, who lived in the Hou Mansion a few days ago, and the other was dressed in a scarlet robe, wearing pearls and emeralds, dressed brightly, and at first glance it was a noble family. It's just that her original appearance is not very good, and her clothes and jewelry can set off her appearance, but the clothes and jewelry are too heavy, which weakens her appearance even more.

Chu Yanran went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion after that day, Shen Yanxin and Ning Er didn't have the heart to care about her, although Chu Yanran was not liked, but as long as she didn't provoke them, Ning Er wouldn't bother with a child-like woman. It's not strange for Chu Yanran to appear today, the peach blossoms bloom for only a few days every year, and it's normal to run into each other, Shen Yanxin and Ning Er didn't have the heart to care about her, Lou Qianqiu didn't know Chu Yanran, so she naturally ignored it directly.

Shen Yanxin didn't bother to care about Chu Yanran, but when she saw the woman beside Chu Yanran, she hurriedly pulled Ning Er and Lou Qianqiu forward to salute, and said, "Courtier Shen Yanxin, see Princess Youying." ”

Ning'er has always been the most unbearable to bow and kowtow, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves, who makes the family a princess who is high, and follows Shen Yanxin to kneel and salute. Ouyang Youyu looked at the three people kneeling in front of him, carefully looked at the appearance of the three of them, Ning Er didn't say anything, Shen Yanxin and Lou Qianqiu were also stunning faces, and suddenly had the urge to ruin their faces.

didn't speak for a long time, so she let Shen Yanxin and the three of them kneel on the ground, Chu Yanran looked at the three of them kneeling in front of her, and she had a feeling of raising her eyebrows, wishing that the princess would let the three of them kneel all the time.

&n

bsp; Lou Qianqiu has been held in the palm of his hand by his family since he was a child, looking at the smug appearance of the two in front of him, he just wanted to throw a whip on the faces of Ouyang Youying and Chu Yanran, but was pulled by Ning Er. Shen Yanxin frowned slightly, looked up at Ouyang Youyu, and said, "I don't know what the courtiers are guilty of, and I ask the princess to make it clear." ”

Ouyang Youyu's face darkened, and he said coldly: "You don't have any faults, what if this princess likes you to kneel?"

Lou Qianqiu sneered when she heard this: "The princess is so majestic, I don't know how long the princess wants our sister-in-law to kneel?"

"This princess didn't tell you to get up, you kept kneeling, and when this princess was happy, she naturally asked you to get up!" Princess Youjin raised her proud chin and sneered.

This is very deceitful, Ning Er thought that Shen Yanling had said that the news of Shangguan Shui in the Golden Dragon was revealed at the right time, and she smiled and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess treats foreign envoys like this, it is a loss of the demeanor of the Golden Dragon Country!"

"What foreign envoys, where are the royal people here?" Princess Youjin smiled contemptuously.

Ning Er pointed at Lou Qianqiu and said slowly: "This is the princess of the Yue King of the Phoenix Kingdom, and her identity is not inferior to that of the princess, and the princess ordered her to kneel, which is too much." ”
