The performance on the stage was lively, and the spectators were holding tea bowls and melon seeds, which was very comfortable.

Ye Lingwu took a seat in the corner of the women's seat, and after a while, Shen Ci also entered the courtyard, unlike her, as soon as Shen Ci came, he attracted the attention of many girls and young men.

"Look," the girl in the pink gown pulled another girl, her eyes locked on the direction of the young man's gathering, "That's the second son of the Shen family, how handsome he looks." ”

Ye Lingwu quietly followed and raised his eyes.

The group of young men surrounded Shen Ci and talked and laughed, and he always looked lazy and casual, occasionally saying a few words, which caused several people to laugh loudly.

Ye Lingwu was slightly distracted.

The young man was scorching and scorching, like a sun.

And what about her......

In the evening, Ye Lingwu, who had been busy all day, brought a bowl of freshly boiled bird's nest porridge from the kitchen to Mrs. Shen's bedroom, and just stepped on the steps of the corridor in Mrs. Shen's courtyard, a pair of boots suddenly stopped in front of her.

The black light was blind, Ye Lingwu was so frightened that he almost dropped the bird's nest porridge in his hand, and he held it tighter in panic, when he heard a chuckle from the top of his head, Ye Lingwu raised his eyes.

- Sure enough, it's a ubiquitous speech.

The height gap between the two was already large, and now one was standing on the steps and the other was standing at the bottom of the steps, Ye Lingwu didn't even reach Shen Ci's shoulders, and the white radish touched the carrot.

Shen Ci saw Ye Lingwu looking at her with resentment in her eyes, and rubbed the top of her head condescendingly, "Scared you?" I'm going to my grandmother's house too, huh? ”

Ye Lingwu hurriedly shook off his head, took a step back, and said in a distance: "The second son will talk when he speaks, how can he still do it." Saying that, Ye Lingwu didn't forget to look around and was relieved to see that no one was talented.

Shen Ci leaned on the pillar, hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "I said Ye Lingwu, if you really think that I am a son and not a prodigal son, there is no need to avoid me like a snake and scorpion." ”

Ye Lingwu choked: "I don't, it's obvious that you always like to tease me every time you see me." ”

Shen Ci frowned and said, "When did I tease you?" ”

"Didn't you just do it!" Ye Lingwu glanced at him.

Shen Ci was stunned and said: "That's also called teasing?" ”

Ye Lingwu said: "Why don't you call it?" ”

Come on, everything he does is wrong in this girl's eyes.

Shen Ci was helpless, bowed shallowly, and pretended to arch his hand: "Okay, then when I see you in the future, I will salute first and then speak, how about it?" ”

“……”

"I still have to send the bird's nest porridge to the old lady, if the second son is not in a hurry, I will leave first." Ye Lingwu picked up his calves and bypassed Shen Ci and went to the courtyard of Old Lady Shen.

The candlelight in the room is bright, and there is a small white jade incense burner on the desk, the green smoke on the stove is like a cloud, and on the side is a silver tray with chiseled flower patterns, on which some fresh fruits are offered.

Mrs. Shen sat on the side, with an open Buddhist scripture in front of her, holding a string of customary Buddhist beads in her hand, her eyes slightly closed, but she did not chant the scriptures, as if she was thinking about something.

Ye Lingwu was about to enter lightly, when a gust of wind suddenly blew on the side, and she saw Shen Ci enter the house one step ahead of her, and sat down on the Taishi chair under Mrs. Shen, and finally did not forget to Erlang's legs in a straight way.

Ye Lingwu paused for a moment, speechless, and then stepped forward and said: "Old lady, this is the bird's nest porridge I just boiled, you drank wine at the table, eat some bird's nest to nourish your stomach, otherwise you won't be able to sleep well at night." ”

With that, Ye Lingwu opened the lid of the bowl containing the bird's nest porridge and sent it to Mrs. Shen. Old Lady Shen slowly opened her eyes, took the bowl and nodded: "The girl has a heart, and it will be difficult for you to take care of your little girl after she comes out of the Hou Mansion." ”

Ye Lingwu pursed his lips and smiled, this docile appearance fell in Shen Ci's eyes, and his heart was inexplicably unhappy.

Why hasn't this dead girl been so shy about him?

Old Mrs. Shen instructed Ye Lingwu a few more words before letting her go back to the house to rest.

When the people left, Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Cichao with a gloomy face on the side: "What, why did the girl provoke you?" Look at the way you look. ”

Shen Ci didn't answer, and asked, "Is there something wrong with my grandmother looking for me?" ”

"Someone sent me a secret letter yesterday, you can take a look first." Old Madam Shen glanced at the envelope on the table.

Shen Ci stepped forward and took the envelope and opened it to look at it, Shaoqing, his brows moved, and said: "This letter is not signed, it only says that this trip is to investigate Sun Kunqian, Sun Kunqian is a prisoner of the moon Zhizhou, and my grandmother has no connections and no official position in the month of the crime, what is the use of the person who wrote to tell you this?" ”

Mrs. Shen twisted the Buddha beads and said slowly: "Sun Kunqian has been in office for nearly ten years, and it is not so easy to investigate. ”

Shen Ci pondered for a moment, and raised the corners of his mouth: "It seems that this person who wrote the letter wants to take advantage of you." ”

Old Mrs. Shen glanced at him, picked up the red dates and barley soup on the table and drank it. Shen Ci looked at Old Lady Shen's noncommittal attitude, and immediately confirmed his guess.

But think about it again, who can dare to use Old Lady Shen in this court - Shen Ci said abruptly: "Grandmother, the eldest brother is also coming to offend the moon?" ”

Old Lady Shen said unhurriedly: "This matter must be kept secret, and it must not be revealed for a single minute." Tomorrow, you will go to the Zhizhou Mansion and ask Master Sun to accompany us to the town of Tho to worship our ancestors. ”

Shen Ci frowned and said, "Grandmother, is this trying to drag him?" ”

Old Mrs. Shen said: "Since your eldest brother wants me to divert Lord Sun's attention, then let's let him accompany him well, as soon as he leaves, the Zhizhou Mansion will be gone, and it will be easy to check." ”

Shen Ci raised his eyebrows and sneered: "If the Sun family really has a problem, then the Wang family will not be able to get out of it, and finally one person will get the Tao, and the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven, and this time he will have to be dragged into the ditch by the Sun family." ”

Old Mrs. Shen chuckled lightly and said: "You are smart, the Sun family has a lot of ideas, but it's a pity that the eldest son of the second room of the Wang family is a sensible person, and last time he greeted him at the city gate, and he cleaned the house for us and arranged a female envoy, and when the ancestors come back, you should also say thank you to others, aren't you used to making friends, I see you do this well." ”

“……”

"I don't know if what Grandmother said is praise or depreciation, but as long as you don't scold me......" Shen Ci grinned, "Then I'll treat you as if you are boasting." Grandson, I will live up to my mission. ”

With that, he turned and left.

Old Lady Shen waited for the people to leave, and then smiled: "Splash skin." ”
