On this day, the weather was warm.|The sun outside was just right, and in the east courtyard of the Shen Mansion, Chen Ruoqiu was sitting and chatting with Shen Yue.

These days, because Chen Ruoqiu asked Shen Yue to start choosing a son-in-law, Shen Yue and Chen Ruoqiu have quarreled several times, but Chen Ruoqiu, who is gentle and gentle, has shown extreme toughness for the first time, Shen Yue has no choice but to follow Chen Ruoqiu everywhere with a cold face.

It's a bit rare to sit together so peacefully today.

"I heard that Shen Miao was kidnapped, but there is no news yet. Shen Yue picked up a fruit on the porcelain plate on the table and ate it, showing some schadenfreude while eating: "I don't know if I'm still alive now?"

Chen Ruoqiu frowned. She has always wanted to train Shen Yue to be pampered and not shocked, at least she looks gentle and elegant in front of her, but Shen Yue is a little less calm than Chen Ruoqiu when she was young. It's okay outside, but as soon as there is any emotion in the house, it will be revealed, which makes Chen Ruoqiu very worried.

"Who will kidnap her?" Shen Yue muttered: "Uncle has a lot of enemies in Dingjing, and I don't know who did it this time. ”

"Since you dare to take such a risk, you must have a deep hatred with Shen Miao. If you don't kidnap Shen Miao alone for other families, you are coming for Shen Miao. Chen Ruoqiu said: "Besides, Shen Jiajun has been searching outside for so many days and has no whereabouts, and the other party is hiding very well." Shen Miao is more auspicious this time. ”

Hearing this, Shen Yue's face was a little scared at first, but when she suddenly thought of something, she smiled again and said, "Speaking of which, I'd rather her live." She didn't say any more.

has been taken captive for so long, and if he were alive, he would have suffered a lot of inhuman torture. The invisible rumors in the world are the most hurtful, if Shen Miao is dead, no matter what happened after death, if he is alive, who knows what ugly words he will say. How many girls in Dingjing City were taken away by gangsters and rescued, although they saved their lives, in the end, they still couldn't bear the critical eyes of everyone and a white silk incense disappeared.

What's more, Shen Miao is still the daughter of a mighty general.

Chen Ruoqiu glanced at Shen Yue and sighed: "No matter what, this is her business after all." Yue'er, you haven't spoken to your father these days, how long are you going to be angry?"

If it is said that being busy with the selection of a son-in-law made Shen Yue complain a lot about Chen Ruoqiu, then Shen Yue almost had a little resentment towards Shen Wan. learned from the mouth of the subordinate that it was Shen Wan who asked Chen Ruoqiu to set up a family for Shen Yue in such a hurry, so Shen Yue put all the fault on Shen Wan, thinking that Shen Wan let himself marry early for the sake of his career, so as to add an in-law to the third room. Therefore, Shen Yue has not spoken to Shen Wan for these days. Hearing Chen Ruoqiu say this at this moment, Shen Yue said impatiently: "Dad has been missing all day long, how can I talk to him?" After speaking, he turned his head angrily and ignored Chen Ruoqiu anymore.

Chen Ruoqiu was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that what Shen Yue said was right, I don't know if things in the officialdom are too busy these days, and even the time for Chen Ruoqiu and Shen Wan to meet is short. In the past, he used to chant poems with gentle and small intentions, but these days, Shen Wan seems a little absent-minded.

Chen Ruoqiu sighed in her heart, Old Madam Shen urged Shen Wan to take a concubine, if the husband and wife were also estranged, she would have to face the biggest crisis.

Chen Ruoqiu didn't know that Shen Wan, who was "busy with officialdom" in her eyes at the moment, was playing chess with Qing in the west courtyard of the Shen Mansion.

Chang Zaiqing wears a green pipa placket top, a goose yellow palace satin plain snow silk skirt, and a refreshing hanging bun, which looks particularly elegant and gentle. The tea she boiled is extremely delicious, Shen Wan, who loves tea, often comes here to ask her for tea, and when she comes to ask for tea, she likes to ask Shen Wan some questions about the chess game.

Chang Zaiqing asked with a smile: "I heard that Miss Shen Wu was taken away a few days ago, and now I don't know if I have found it." ”

"There are no whereabouts yet. Shen Wan shook his head.

Chang Zaiqing sighed: "The good girl's family has had such a change...... According to the third master, was Miss Shen Wu killed by General Shen's enemies?"

Shen Wandao: "It's hard to say, after all, it was the fifth sister who was taken away alone, but after such a long time, I'm afraid that even if someone is rescued, it will be ......."

often shows a sad look on his face, but he secretly rejoices in his heart. She didn't know why, she had an instinctive fear when facing Shen Miao. Maybe it was the words that Shen Miao said to her last time that made her creepy, or maybe Shen Miao saw her mind too thoroughly. No matter what, there is such a person, and Chang Zaiqing's heart is always unstable. Now that I heard Shen Wan say this, I was very happy.

Regarding Shen Miao's matter, there are also people in the Shen Mansion and Caiyun Yuan who talk about it.

Aunt Wan said: "I originally thought that it was really bad for Dongling to not leave the house all day, but now it seems that I am very relieved." There are so many abductors on the street outside, and you are good-looking, if you are abducted, your aunt will have to cry for the rest of her life. As she spoke, she stopped the needle and thread in her hand and said, "I don't know if Miss Fifth is dead or alive right now?"

Shen Dongling, who was holding the embroidered pier for Aunt Wan, smiled when she heard this: "Auntie, that's not something that a kidnapper can do." ”

Aunt Wan's eyes widened: "Why?"

"How can there be a kidnapper on the street? Even if there is, I won't kidnap the official lady, especially if I look at it, it's huge, and I'm not sure to find much trouble for myself in the future. Those people are obviously coming for the fifth sister.,I think it's about the enemy of the big house.,It's just that the fifth sister didn't happen to meet it.。 Although Shen Dongling said so, there was not much sadness on his face, as if he was talking about someone else's family.

Aunt Wan sighed: "Fifth Miss's life is over, she was reincarnated in such a good family, but she didn't enjoy her life, and she lived up to her luck." ”

"Not necessarily. Shen Dongling smiled: "The fifth sister has always had nobles to help her, and she can always turn evil into good fortune, who knows if there will be nobles who will save her from fire and water this time?"

"No matter how many nobles help you, now it's all like this, what else can you do?" Aunt Wan disagreed with Shen Dongling's words.

As he was talking, he saw Shen Dongling's personal maid Xinghua hurriedly walking in from outside, as if he had something to say.

"Auntie, third miss, the slave maid just heard outside that the fifth miss was sent back to the Shen Mansion by Princess Rongxin's carriage, and the people are safe and sound, so it's very good!"

"Auntie," Shen Dongling smiled: "I'll just say that the fifth sister is very capable and has her own nobles to help." ”

......

Shen Miao, who was kidnapped by the gangsters, finally got the news a few days later, and was personally sent back by Princess Rongxin's personal female officer, and there was another uproar in Dingjing.

It turned out that after Shen Miao was kidnapped by the thieves, the thieves wanted to transport Shen Miao out of the city, but the Shen family's officials and soldiers were too strict that day, and on the way to transport Shen Miao, Shen Miao escaped by himself, broke his leg and fainted, but accidentally met the guards of the princess's mansion. The guards sent Shen Miao back to the princess's mansion, and Shen Miao woke up to see Princess Rongxin. There has been no news in the past few days, but because Shen Miao has not woken up, the people in the princess's mansion do not know her identity, and they dare not recognize people indiscriminately.

After all, Shen Miao is still a good girl who is innocent, and this time there is no danger.

There may be some doubts, but most of them do not doubt this statement, because the person who spoke was Princess Rongxin, who was the most unkind and impartial in Mingqi. Princess Rongxin has spoken, and there should be no problem when she thinks about it.

But what is strange is that although he has spoken, this is all rumored outside, and Shen Miao has never appeared in front of everyone. Some people said that it was because Shen Miao was actually seriously injured, so she couldn't show up now, and some people said that it was because the Shen family wanted to protect Shen Miao at the moment, and they didn't dare to let her out of the house easily, and the province would encounter gangsters again.

In any case, Shen Miao went back to the deep house, but no one saw it with his own eyes.

And at this moment, Shen Miao was standing in front of Luo Ling's house in the Shen Mansion.

Luo Tan's words echoed in his ears again: "Little cousin, go and persuade Brother Ling, although Brother Ling doesn't say it, we all know that he must be very sad in his heart." Although he still seems to be happy at the moment, he can't say what he is suffering about. We were all stupid and didn't know how to comfort him. Little cousin, you have read so many books, and you know best what others are thinking, if you go to persuade Brother Ling, Brother Ling should listen to you. When I was in Xiaochun City before, whatever you said, Brother Ling would echo it. This time, it will be the Luo family begging you. ”

Shen Miao sighed in her heart, hesitated for a moment, and finally knocked on the door.

"Who?" someone asked.

"It's me, Cousin Ling. ”

After a moment of silence, someone said, "Come in." ”

Shen Miao walked in, she was carrying a bamboo basket in her hand, and as soon as she entered the room, she put the bamboo basket on the desk, and there was a celadon bowl in the corner of the desk, and there were some brown marks at the bottom of the bowl.

Luo Ling sat at the table, and there were some books on the table, which should be reading. His face was slightly pale, his hands were bandaged, he looked at her with a smile and said, "Cousin is here." ”

As the eldest grandson of the Luo family, Luo Ling has been the most gentle and stable of the four juniors since he was a child. seems to be a real humble gentleman, unlike Pei Lang's personality who is also selfish and cold in his heart, Luo Ling is a person who is really easy to warm others.

After Luo Ling learned that Shen Miao had returned safely, he was naturally happy for Shen Miao, but he didn't say a word about his right hand injury. When he ate and talked, he was still generous and gentle, as if he had never experienced this at all. He didn't say it, and everyone didn't dare to take the initiative to mention it, but the calmer Luo Ling became, the more unsettling it became.

Luo Tan came to beg Shen Miao, hoping to help persuade Luo Ling.

"I brought you some pastries. Shen Miao smiled, took out the plate containing pastries from the bamboo basket, and said, "Adding milk and honey will probably have some benefits for your injury." ”

She was the first person to say "injury" directly to Luo Ling.

Luo Ling paused slightly, and then smiled: "But I just drank the medicine, and I can't eat it now, cousin put it here, and I will taste my cousin's craftsmanship after a while." ”

"Can't you eat it?" Shen Miao looked at him and asked, "Still can't eat it?"

Luo Ling trembled as he held the book, then raised his head and said with a smile: "What do you mean? Cousin won't be angry because I didn't eat the pastries right away, right?"

Shen Miao sat down opposite Luo Ling.

Luo Ling reminded her of a person, Wan Yu.

Luo Ling is gentle and tolerant, and he won't care too much about losses, which is almost a reflection of Wanyu. At the beginning, maybe it was because she knew that Shen Miao was not happy with Fu Xiuyi, or because she understood the many hardships of life in the palace, even if Wanyu was born as a princess of the dynasty, she did not have a little arrogance. Later, Mrs. Line pleaded with Fu Xiuyi to marry Wanyu to the Huns and relatives, Fu Xiuyi threatened the righteousness of the world, Shen Miao was in pain, Wanyu in turn comforted her: "The grassland is very good, I have never been to the grassland in my life, if I encounter something new, I will write a letter to the queen mother, so that the queen mother can also see the beauty of the grassland." ”

never mentions what he has suffered, but smiles at the people who care about him, this is Wanyu, this is also Luo Ling.

Shen Miao said: "Is it so difficult to admit that I am not very happy in my heart, and I have not let go, I feel wronged, angry, angry, and resentful?"

Luo Ling was stunned.

"Cousin Ling doesn't seem to intend to blame anything. Shen Miao said: "I don't plan to blame others, I just plan to blame myself, right?"

Luo Ling stared at Shen Miao for a while, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "Cousin, do you have to speak so directly?"

"It's cousin, you're too roundabout and tactful. Shen Miao said: "Just like your feelings, if you don't blame others, you blame yourself." In the same way, if you don't say anything and don't mention anything, do you want me to blame myself and feel guilty for the rest of my life, or do you want to be unstable for the rest of my life. ”

Luo Ling was stunned: "Cousin ......"

"Cousin Ling, do you think that if you pretend to be casual, everyone will feel relaxed, and they will ignore the injury on your right hand, and everything will be happy? Shen Miao's voice was very gentle, but the words she said were very sharp, she said: "Life is only a few decades, and it is certainly a way to live, but sometimes, it is not necessarily bad to be presumptuous. Why should you grieve yourself for the sake of others? If you are not happy, you can say it. You can be angry, you can hate, you can complain, it's not a big deal. ”

It was about the first time he had heard such a statement, and Luo Ling was still a little unacceptable. He looked at Shen Miao carefully as if he had met Shen Miao for the first time. For this little cousin, Luo Ling's feeling is that she loves and hates clearly, she is young but generous, seemingly gentle but stubborn, but now these words have given Luo Ling a new understanding of Shen Miao. In her bones, there is also a disdain for secular etiquette.

It seems that the so-called goodness and righteousness are not worth mentioning in her eyes.

"Who should I hate, who should I blame, who should I be angry about?" Luo Ling asked.

"You can blame me because you are because of me, and you can hate the mastermind behind the scenes, because those people hurt you. You can even be angry that no one in the city can heal your injuries, they are all quacks who deceive the world and steal their reputation, and the only thing you should not blame is yourself. Shen Miao said: "Good people are blaming themselves, and bad people are blaming others, but bad people live much easier than good people." So if you can make yourself happy, what's there to be sad about complaining about others?"

Luo Ling laughed, and he said, "Little cousin, are you comforting me?"

"yes. Shen Miao said: "I said so much, just so that you don't bury everything in your heart." ”

Luo Ling sighed: "Yes, after this incident, I am indeed unhappy, unhappy, and uncomfortable. But my aunt and uncle had already blamed themselves, and I couldn't make it worse. Tan'er is worried about me, and I can't let her worry all day. I only blame myself, if I don't practice martial arts hard enough on weekdays, I will be hurt, and I blame myself for not being smart enough, so I will be easily exploited. ”

"And what about you now?" Shen Miao asked.

"My little cousin's persuasion has found a different way, which happens to me to my appetite. Luo Ling teased: "Maybe you're right, it's not because of me, and the person I should be angry with me is not myself." ”

"Holding a grudge and being angry is not something you should do in the end. Shen Miao said: "Since the right hand can't be used, why not try the left hand?"

Luo Ling was stunned.

"I heard that there was a general in the previous dynasty who was brave and good at fighting, and later his right hand was cut off by a local general on the battlefield. The world thought that he was depressed, but they didn't want him to start connecting his left hand, and then created a unique 'left hand swordsmanship'. Shen Miao smiled slightly: "What does Cousin Ling think?"

Luo Ling listened to Shen Miao's words, and a strange brilliance gradually rose in his eyes. Unlike Fang Cai, it seems that some thoughts in his heart have really been aroused, and his eyes have become different. He looked at Shen Miao, his eyes were quite excited, and said, "Cousin, this story is really well told. ”

"Cousin would have done better. ”

Luo Ling laughed, Luo Tan who was eavesdropping outside was startled, unlike the gentle smile that always hung on Luo Ling's face, even through the door, it seemed that he could hear the joy in the laughter.

What did Shen Miao say to Luo Ling?

"Is it with this kind of kung fu that my cousin can face whatever kind of difficulties she encounters calmly, and step by step to her invincible position?" Luo Ling asked.

Shen Miao smiled: "It's too early to say invincible." ”

"It seems so. ”

Shen Miao was noncommittal. What Luo Ling said is good, but it is not right, it is impossible to rely on these alone. If a person can feel a fall from the most noble position to the dust, all the reliance on it disappears overnight, the effort is not rewarded at all, the family collapses, the children perish, and all this is because of their first stubborn mistake, then they will know that there is nothing more important than living, not only to live, but also to live well, one day to make a comeback, and one day to put what they have suffered in the past on those who have been hurt.

Luo Ling blamed herself, and when Shen Miao didn't blame herself, she often blamed herself for the burial of the entire Shen family's big house because of her selfishness in her previous life. In this life, we are trying to fix this mistake, but there is still time for everything.

She looked at Luo Ling and said with a smile: "From today onwards, Cousin Ling won't be reading books in the study all day." ”

Since Luo Ling's right hand had an accident, Luo Ling has often read books in the study, saying that it is to calm down, everyone knows that Luo Ling wants to be alone and depressed.

"My little cousin has interceded in person, where do I dare to read. Luo Ling smiled slightly.

Shen Miao bowed: "Then I'll be relieved." ”

"It's not enough to be reassured. Luo Ling looked at her, blinked her eyes rarely, and said mischievously: "Since this matter is also because of my cousin, this pastry still has to be made." ”

"That's nature. Shen Miao replied: "If my cousin wants to eat, I can tell the girl at any time, and I will send it." ”

Luo Ling stared at Shen Miao, the girl in front of her smiled Yan Yan, she was born extremely delicate, and even a little innocent, but she always gave people a feeling of extreme stability. For example, today's remarks, knowing that she is here to persuade herself, knowing that her intention is to cheer herself up. If it was someone else, Luo Ling could naturally seal his heart and smile, but in the face of Shen Miao, in the face of her, she was outspoken but kind and seductive, as if the gentlest river of spring water, obviously doing something that was not bright and good, but it also made people feel that they would not resist.

It's like an elder.

Luo Ling was taken aback by his thoughts, and then he was a little funny, Shen Miao is only sixteen now, several years younger than herself, at the age of sixteen, Luo Tan will even go out with Luo Qian to climb trees, such a little girl, no matter how old she is on weekdays, she can't have anything to do with the "elders".

His gaze gradually softened, and he looked at Shen Miao and quipped: "If you can't practice left-handed swordsmanship in the future, cousin, don't dislike me." As soon as the words came out, Luo Ling felt that he was a little abrupt, and the implication in his words was too strong. But he didn't know why, he looked at Shen Miao with some hope, as if he wanted to hear the answer he was looking forward to from Shen Miao's mouth.

Shen Miao was slightly stunned, and met Luo Ling's gaze, which was different from usual, but she felt a little embarrassed.

Not to mention Luo Ling's identity or others, since she was reborn, Shen Miao has never reported any thoughts about her family affairs, if she can find a stable person to live her life, as long as that person respects herself, what does it matter if she loves her or not? It is to her husband, Shen Miao has never thought about it.

But Luo Ling ...... Shen Miao sighed in her heart, since she had compared Luo Ling with Wanyu, if she really made Luo Ling a husband, she would not have to die awkwardly in the future. He smiled and said lightly: "Cousin, who in this family dares to dislike you?"

But he didn't answer Luo Ling's question.

The hope in Luo Ling's eyes gradually dimmed, he was silent for a while, and then smiled: "No matter what, thank you cousin for your relief." ”

"You're welcome," Shen Miao said, "It's all family." ”

Shen Miao sat for a while before getting up to leave. After Shen Miao left, Luo Ling sat at the table, his eyes were stunned and he didn't know what he was thinking, he was stunned for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief, and a wry smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. His eyes fell on the plate with the pastries in the corner of the table, and after thinking about it, he was about to reach for it.

But I don't know what's going on, there was a sudden gust of wind outside, which happened to blow on the plate, and the heavy porcelain plate fell to the ground with a "bang", and the fragments burst everywhere, and the ink cartridge on the table was overturned together, and the ink splashed a lot on the pastry, obviously inedible.

Luo Ling was stunned for a moment, got up to look, but saw that the window was closed, and couldn't help muttering: "It's so good, how can it be windy?" Then his eyes fell on the shapeless pastry that had been contaminated with ink, and said regretfully: "It's a pity." ”

......

On the other end, Shen Miao returned to the house, lit the oil lamp in the house, and let the stunned Gu Yu recede, and then pressed his disgust.

Luo Ling's matter was indeed an accident, I really didn't expect Princess Ming'an to be so ruthless, not only to deal with herself, but also to deal with Shen Qiu, this time if it wasn't for Luo Ling to block Shen Qiu, but I don't know what happened to Shen Qiu. Princess Ming'an is more arrogant than in the previous life, and because of her mistakes, she hates Shen Miao even more, and she does things regardless of the consequences, which is really unreassuring, and it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible.

It's a pity that this matter was interfered with by Xie Jingxing.

Shen Miao didn't know what Xie Jingxing wanted to do, but on the way to the princess's mansion by Xie Jingxing that day, Xie Jingxing told her not to go out these days, and not to be seen by others. Although I don't know how Xie Jingxing plans to do it, but now Xie Changchao is dead, and Xie Jingxing wants to deal with Xie Changwu.

Originally, Shen Miao always thought that if he didn't have to do it himself, it would be good to borrow a knife to kill people. But when I thought that Xie Jingxing had never been a good person who helped people for nothing, so cunning and scheming, I was afraid that in addition to Ming'an and Xie Changwu for her today, she would give a huge price to blackmail her on the second day, and I felt that it was not a good idea to let Xie Jing take action.

was thinking about it, but saw the candle flame swaying slightly, and the silhouette of a person suddenly appeared on the screen.

By now, Shen Miao couldn't even be surprised, she turned her head habitually, and sure enough, she saw Xie Jingxing walking in from outside.

Why the hell did this person do so openly and brightly when he came uninvited, as if he was visiting his own homeland. Shen Miao was a little depressed, but she saw Xie Jing behaving freely and sat down in front of Xiao Ji.

Today, he did not wear the purple and gold robe he used to wear, but a black brocade robe, and if it were not for the collar of the piping silver thread, it would almost blend in with the night. However, the night can't hide his good looks, a pair of peach blossom eyes are shining with starlight, and today it looks particularly sharp.

"No tea and no snacks," Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows: "That's how you entertain guests?"

Shen Miao said: "I don't seem to have invited you. ”

"It's not a guest, it's an ally, it's not an ally," Xie Jingxing looked at her sideways and slowly raised his lips: "That's also a lifesaver." ”

Shen Miao was speechless, Xie Jingxing was already shameless and self-appointed life-saving benefactor, what else could she say?

Shen Miao thought to herself, Xie Jingxing was a little moody, for example, the corners of his lips were clearly and slightly upturned, but it made people feel strange and scary.

I don't know which bold master made him unhappy.
