There was no one in the middle of the night, and on the bed, there were two girls lying side by side - Shen Paner changed into a pale pink embroidered bedclothes, and Ye Lingwu changed into a plain purple bedclothes.

The banquet dispersed, and Shen Paner said that she would sleep with Ye Lingwu if she said anything, but Ye Lingwu couldn't help it, so she could only agree.

The room was silent and dim, and the candlelight hit Shen Pan'er's face, Ye Lingwu saw a little sorrow and asked, "What are the three girls thinking?" ”

Shen Pan'er sighed and said dejectedly: "What else can I think, I should discuss marriage after returning to the capital, although I still have the eldest brother and the second brother in front of me, but no one in the Ningbei Hou Mansion has done the master of these two ancestors, my mother must focus all on me, you say, can I not be annoyed?" ”

Ye Lingwu said: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with getting married, if you can't fall in love, then you will respect each other like a guest, my mother said, this life is so long that you can't live around a man." Besides, the Lang Xu selected by the second uncle and mother for you must be a person of good character, so you will be less worried. ”

Shen Pan'er complained: "It's easy for you to say, if I marry someone I don't like, I'd rather become a monk and become a bhikshuni." ”

Ye Lingwu's head turned quickly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Listening to the meaning of the third girl's words, do you have a favorite Langjun?" ”

Shen Pan'er choked, pursed her lips and was silent.

Ye Lingwu was originally happy, but seeing that Shen Pan'er's face was not half shy, her brows frowned tighter, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly said: "The third girl will not still remember it in her heart...... The eldest prince of the Rongzheng Earl's Mansion, Rong Yu, right? ”

"What's the matter," Shen Pan'er said calmly, "I have known him since childhood, and he also said that he would marry me when he grew up, and the gentleman is full of promises, since he said this sentence that is offensive to his daughter's family, then he has to be responsible!" ”

Ye Lingwu knotted.

I couldn't help but sigh silently: How can the jokes when I was a child be taken seriously?

Shen Pan'er sighed and complained, and suddenly asked: "Sister Lingwu is also about to die, so do you have a favorite Lang Jun?" ”

"Like Lang Jun?"

Ye Lingwu's mind came to mind the appearance of a young man in red riding a horse and raising a whip.

"There is a favorite Langjun," she sighed, "but I always feel that the distance between me and him is too far, and although I have made up my mind to believe her, I am also afraid that I will not get what I want after giving my heart, but I will lose a lot." ”

Ye Lingwu lowered his head abruptly.

“…… Who is it? Shen Paner ignited the soul of gossip, and she cared more about the protagonist of the story than the story of love and love.

Ye Lingwu pursed her lips, turned her head away from looking at her, who knew that Shen Pan'er didn't eat this set at all, turned over from Ye Lingwu's body, leaned in front of her face and said, "Who is it?" Do I know each other? I tell you who I like, you have to tell me. ”

"When did you tell me, that's obviously what I guessed." Ye Lingwu muttered a retort in a low voice.

"That's okay to tell, no, one person exchanges a secret with each other, I told you who I like, you have to tell me who you like, otherwise you won't want to sleep tonight!" Shen Pan'er stood up her upper body and crossed her waist.

Ye Lingwu had long since stopped eating Shen Pan'er's tricks, and replied: "That's what I guessed, if you really want to ask, you can guess too?" ”

Shen Pan'er frowned and groaned, "...... Sister Lingwu likes it, it won't be my big brother, right? ”

Ye Lingwu was stimulated by these words, and couldn't go up or down, so he could only hold his chest and cough: "Cough, cough, cough...... Third girl, why do you think so? What is the identity of Master Hou, how can I think about it. ”

Shen Pan'er pouted and said: "You let me guess, there are so many girls in the capital who like my big brother, and you haven't known a few sons and daughters since you came to the Ningbei Hou Mansion, except for the eldest brother...... That's my second brother! ”

She raised her eyebrows: "The person Sister Lingwu likes won't be my second brother, right?" ”

Ye Lingwu's expression was complicated, he hurriedly lowered his gaze, and said in a stiff tone: "The third girl should take care of herself first, you also said that after returning to Beijing, the second uncle and mother will propose marriage for you, I don't care, who to marry is not to marry." ”

As soon as Shen Pan'er mentioned this, she had a headache, so she simply shrunk into the quilt and continued to sigh, and she didn't bother to guess anymore, let alone notice that something was wrong on Ye Lingwu's face.

After a few days of shaking, the horsewhip was raised, and the Ningbei Hou Mansion finally set off to return to Beijing.

The return journey was divided into two routes, the prince, Lou Taifu, Shen Zhan and the Black Flag guard walked along the official road, and by the way, they observed the people's feelings. And Mrs. Shen and the juniors of the Shen family are on the waterway.

First of all, I traveled for several days to the wharf of the ferry, although it was more troublesome, but the waterway was fast and stable, much faster than the official road.

The wind blowing north made the sails fat and fat, and the water was fast and the boat was fast, passing several riverside cities one after another.

On the way back, there was no danger and no danger, and the wind and rain were smooth.

In just a few days, I will soon arrive in the capital.

The night breeze was slow, Ye Lingwu came out of Old Lady Shen's house, and at a glance he saw the red-clothed young man standing on the deck below, the young man's face was as white as jade, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Suddenly, the young man turned his face, his eyes met, Ye Lingwu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly withdrew his eyes in a hurry, and walked towards his own room.

Hiding in the quilt, Ye Lingwu's heart was still beating.

The young man's amber fox eyes were smiling, deeply imprinted in Ye Lingwu's mind at this moment, he couldn't tell what it was like, but his heart was definitely not comfortable.

People who originally made up their minds to stay away were finally moved, and there was a sense of fate and powerlessness.

She admitted that Shen Ci was very good, she was the first person she met when she was fourteen years old with a warbler flying grass on her shoulder, and her heart was hot and open, and his unruliness maintained her true heart, if it weren't for that "dream", maybe she would have been tempted earlier than now.

In his thoughts, sleepiness swelled up, Ye Lingwu fell asleep unconsciously, and when he woke up again after following the biological clock, the sky was white, and the towering towers of the capital were also looming in the white fog in the early morning.

The boat slowly approached the dock, the dock shook a lot, and the boatmen on board methodically dropped anchor, lowered the sails, and lowered the planks.

Ye Lingwu stood on the deck, the river breeze gently blowing, blowing the flag above her head to hunt, and also blowing a few strands of broken hair on her forehead, the snow-blue wide-sleeved skirt she was wearing today, the mist on the river filled her body, like a scroll of ink painting slowly unfolding.

The chaos of those days was like a dream, and when I woke up from the dream, I always felt that it was a little unrealistic, but it really happened.

But fortunately, they all survived.

After getting off the boat, Shen Ci rode a horse to open the way, and the carriage of the Hou Mansion of Ningbei drove towards the city.

Since the carriage of the Hou Mansion in Ningbei docked, there were small servants who kept returning to the house to report, and when the carriage arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, the house was already full of people.

Ye Lingwu quietly opened the curtain and looked at it, and suddenly felt like a world away, as if he had returned to the day when he first came to the Hou Mansion.

The most eye-catching in the crowd was the eldest princess Jiayi, a bright and noble beauty in a golden brocade dress, and then the Zhao family with a gentle smile on her face.
