In December, it was already winter in Jiangnan, and there was a little snow last night, and when I woke up in the morning, only a thin layer of snow could be seen on the eaves and branches.

Qinghong brought the little girls in to set breakfast for Shen Xingwan, and Shen Xingwan was reading the news from the intelligence office.

It is snowing in the south of the Yangtze River, and it has long been icy and snowy in the northwest.

Therefore, the war was temporarily stopped, and the weather was unbearable for both horses and people, and the two sides could only confront each other in the air.

With the temporary cessation of the war, the atmosphere also eased. Even the dignitaries and nobles returned to a life of drunken dreams and death.

"There hasn't been snow in Jiangnan for several years, and this year's snow is right, a good year." Qinghong couldn't help but sigh.

Shen Xingwan drank porridge and said lightly, "Whether it is a blessing or a curse is uncertain." ”

The cold winter in the northwest will last at least two or three months, and such a long confrontation will either not be able to hold the morale of the grain and grass, and the war will end with heavy snow and winter.

Or hold back your strength, wait for spring to come, start a large-scale war, and fight fiercely.

It was too cold outside, and Shen Xingwan didn't go out of the yard for almost a day, because it was the New Year, so she and the old lady temporarily moved back to the Shen Mansion.

Fortunately, when she was in Changleju, the people and things that should be handed over to her were almost done, and after running in with the shadows, a new set of ways to deal with things has been formed.

You don't have to come to see her often, and moving back doesn't make a difference.

At night, Shen Xingwan didn't feel sleepy. Playing against cicada clothes to kill time, Banxia is teasing fat meow on the side, and Holly is embroidering on the side.

Enjoy a rare relaxing time in a warm room.

"Knock knock..."There was a knock on the door.

Holly put down the embroidery in her hand and walked over to open the door, asking in a low voice what was the matter.

Soon Holly turned around and said, "Miss Seven's maid is here, kneeling outside and begging to see the girl." ”

Seventh Miss Shen Ruoyan, the concubine who usually seems to be a transparent person.

But when Xie Zhuohua taught Su Jingyi a lesson, he was willing to be the first bird, and when Du Mingyue had an accident, he stood up and hinted at her.

She said at the time that she was invited to tea, and later confirmed the murderer of Du Mingyue from other places, but this matter is unknown.

Shen Xingwan was a little interested, put down the chess pieces in his hand and stood up.

As soon as she walked out of the door, she was shaken by the cold wind, and there was a thin-looking Tsing Yi girl kneeling straight in her yard.

When Yahuan saw her come out, she slammed her head on the ground, "Please save my young lady!" ”

Holly was taken aback and quickly held her, "I have something to say." ”

This knock sounds painful, and I'm really afraid that I will knock out the knock.

"Miss is very sick, and the housekeeper doesn't invite Langzhong, saying that she is waiting for dawn." Xiao Yahuan said in a trembling voice.

It turned out that it had cooled down in the past few days, Shen Ruoyan was sick, and tonight I don't know what was going on, I suddenly started to have a fever, vomiting and convulsions.

It's late, almost all the ladies and wives are asleep, and it's winter, Shen Ruoyan has always been unfavored, and the housekeepers don't want to toss, saying that they will wait until dawn to invite Langzhong.

Shen Ruoyan's personal maid ring looked at her and her condition was really bad, thinking that Shen Xingwan had a maid ring by her side to know medical skills, so she boldly asked to come to the door.

"Are you very sick?" Shen Xingwan asked.

"It's already burned." Yahuan said with a crying voice.

Shen Xingwan said to Cicada Yi without hesitation, "Bring the medicine box and take a look." ”

Since she begged to come to the door, she really couldn't ignore it.

Shen Xingwan put on his cloak and followed.

Shen Ruoyan's house is in a remote corner, and when she walks in, the charcoal fire in it is quite warm, and the furnishings in the house are okay.

Cicada Yi stepped forward to diagnose, Shen Xingwan also went to take a look, Shen Ruoyan's person convulsed from time to time, and it seemed that the situation was indeed very bad.

Cicada Yi first gave her a few injections to stop her convulsions, and then took out two pills, and let Yahuan crush them with warm water and forcibly pour them into Shen Ruoyan.

Then instructed Yahuan to cool her down, tossed in the middle of the night, the temperature finally came down a little, and her breathing stabilized a lot.

"Girl, let's go back and rest first, I'll keep an eye here." Cicada said.

Shen Xingwan left Banxia to help her.

On the way back, Shen Xingwan couldn't help but say, "This Seventh Miss is a little interesting." ”

She saw the sword and some delicate weapons in her room, which she must have seen before she had time to put them away.

"Speaking of which, although the sixth aunt is beautiful, she has been cold and indifferent since she entered the mansion, and she does not compete for favor." Qinghong gossiped to Shen Xingwan about the gossip she heard from the old man in the house.

This is just a trivial matter for Shen Xingwan, and she doesn't take it to heart.

Five days later, Shen Ruoyan, who had just recovered from a serious illness, came to visit in person.

"Sit down, why are you here at this time if you don't recuperate?" Shen Xingwan said softly.

Qinghong hurriedly served hot tea and snacks.

Shen Ruoyan smiled weakly, "I have some things I want to talk to the girl about alone." ”

Holly withdrew with the little girl.

Shen Xingwan raised her eyebrows, "Now that the house is full of her own people, Miss Seven has something to say." ”

Shen Xingwan is not familiar with Miss Shen Fu, but after this Shen Ruoyan has been in contact with her several times, Shen Xingwan feels that she is a bit interesting, she seems to be a transparent person outside the matter, but in fact, she knows everything in her heart.

Shen Ruoyan leaned back on the chair, held the hand stove in his hand and spoke slowly, "In fact, compared to other Gaomen clans, the concubine of the Shen family is not difficult to be, and she can also read and write." I also have some examples of concubines, and my wife and daughter-in-law ignore me at most, and do not deliberately make trouble and embarrassment. ”

Over the years, she has lived quietly in her own cabin, relying on her monthly monthly silver carefully, and she is actually quite comfortable.

Shen Xingwan listened quietly, not knowing what she wanted to express.

"But from the book, from my aunt's mouth, I understand and see the outside world, and I dream of getting out of this courtyard." Shen Ruoyan's eyes lit up amazingly, "I don't want to marry after the end of the day, obey the arrangement of the house, be lucky to be a generous lady and teach her children for a lifetime, and if you are unlucky, you will be a concubine." ”

Shen Xingwan understood that this was unwilling and had her own thoughts.

A native girl can have such an idea, Shen Xingwan admires it.

"And what do you want?" Shen Xingwan asked.

Shen Ruochu said with a firm gaze, "I want to be free, and I also want to do something meaningful." What men can do, why can't we girls? ”

"Your idea is good, I agree." Shen Xingwan said sincerely. Unfortunately, in ancient times, it was difficult to achieve, or the road ahead was long.

Shen Ruoyan looked at Shen Xingwan with glowing eyes, "So I hope the girl will give me a chance, and I am willing to be the knife and sword in the girl's hand." ”

The two looked at each other, Shen Xingwan first withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes and said lightly, "Miss Seventh said that I laughed, although I am nominally the daughter of the Shen family, in fact, I am not a few points better than you." ”
