Shen Zhan pulled the stunned Ye Lingwu to sit under the flower window, ignored her surprise, and said to himself: "When Qingqing came to my house last time, we also agreed to play chess together after I came back from the Southern Regions, but unfortunately that game of chess has not been played for three years. ”

Ye Lingwu was dumbfounded, but he didn't expect him to be worried.

Shen Zhan suddenly smiled: "I wonder if Qingqing's chess skills have improved?" ”

“.”

In the past three years, she has encountered the Ye family's account books and the Jiang family's trivial matters, how can she have the opportunity to improve her chess skills.

Shen Zhan saw that she didn't speak, and said, "It seems that Qingqing has forgotten about it." It's okay, I can teach you later. ”

After sitting in the west courtyard for a while, the female envoy of the Suyu Pavilion suddenly came to invite someone.

said that the three girls came to invite Miss Lingwu to speak.

The west courtyard is not far from the north courtyard, turn around two corridors to arrive, the female envoy led Ye Lingwu and Rongxiu Qingtang Yuantao all the way to the Suyu Pavilion, just arrived at the courtyard, I heard laughter from inside.

The spring is cold, and the branches and leaves draw out tender new green.

Ye Lingwu took a closer look, and saw Shen Pan'er and Xiao Yan'er kicking shuttlecocks in the garden, Shen Yue'er sat on the stone bench on the side and watched, the relationship between the two sisters seemed to be closer than before they left the pavilion.

The female envoy went to report first, and Ye Lingwu followed.

"Sister Lingwu is here, sit down." Shen Yue'er said.

Ye Lingwu smiled, and as soon as her buttocks were next to the stone bench, she saw Shen Pan'er loosening her arms and turned around and teased: "I'm afraid that the fourth sister is called the wrong one, and we have to call the sister-in-law in front of me." ”

Shen Yue'er smiled but said nothing.

At this time, the female envoy came up with a tea tray, followed by the newly made tea fruit, fiddling with it and stepping aside.

"The third girl, don't make fun of me, I haven't married the Hou Ye yet."

As soon as the words fell, Ye Lingwu's jaw tightened slightly.

Shen Pan'er leaned over and hooked her chin with one hand, looked left and right, Shaoqing, and said in a rather sour tone: "Sister Ling Wu is really good-looking, no wonder you and Scholar Jiang have just reconciled, and my eldest brother can't wait to marry you." ”

"When did my big brother like you? Why haven't you mentioned it to me before? Recruit from the truth. She asked, as soon as she spoke.

Ye Lingwu took away Shen Pan'er's hand that hooked his chin and said, "How can you mention this kind of thing?" What's more, you didn't ask. The last sentence was noticeably much lighter.

Shen Yue'er looked at Ye Lingwu for a long time, as if she was recalling something, and sighed: "Yes." Three years have passed, but I didn't expect you to become my sister-in-law, and this year is another good thing. ”

Shen Pan'er snorted, sat down angrily and said: "It's a good thing, it's just a good time, Sister Lingwu just got married, and her ex-husband was detained in the Tingwei Mansion not long ago, and she got married at this time, I really don't know what my eldest brother thinks, it's too anxious." ”

After that, she suddenly noticed that something seemed wrong with Shen Yue'er's words just now, and said: "What do you mean by 'going around for three years, or becoming your sister-in-law', the eldest brother liked Sister Lingwu three years ago?" ”

She choked, gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Okay, you Ye Lingwu, you talked to Shen Yue'er about yourself, where did you put me?" ”

Ye Lingwu was helpless: "I didn't say it." ”

"It's true that Sister Lingwu didn't say it, at that time...... Anyway, your mind wasn't on the people around you. Shen Yue'er almost mentioned Pei Huai, and quickly changed her words.

Shen Pan'er frowned, and her arrogance disappeared instantly.

Shen Yue'er raised her hand and retreated from the surrounding female envoys, and asked the nurse to hold Xiao Yan'er to find the Zhao family, and when the surroundings were cleared, she said: "I heard that the little maid in the Western Courtyard of the Mansion said that the wedding banquet is scheduled for the end of the month, so in such a hurry, Sister Lingwu can adapt?" ”

"Whether you adapt or not, it's not up to me to decide." Ye Lingwu's tone was quite complaining.

Shen Yue'er said: "Actually, the eldest brother is afraid of a national funeral, I heard my husband mention yesterday that His Majesty's illness seems to be getting more and more serious, and I am afraid that he will not be able to survive the summer." ”

Shen Pan'er frowned: "Your Majesty is seriously ill, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Baili family are becoming more and more powerful, recently His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent several ministers who support the three princes in the court, do you still remember the daughter of General Li's family who studied in the private school with me?" I heard that General Li's house was raided last month, and General Li's concubine entered the palace to intercede, but because of the noise to the six princesses passing by, she was slapped dozens of times, and she couldn't see anyone after leaving the palace. ”

She pursed her mouth and complained: "Although the prince is powerful, he is not the prince in the end, not to mention the dynasty, there are only a handful of princes in history who can successfully inherit the throne, and the prince is really not afraid of backfire." ”

Shen Yue'er glared at her, put it in the tea bowl, and said seriously: "These words can only be said in private, but don't let others hear them, be careful that it is not good for the Hou Mansion." ”

Although Shen Paner was dissatisfied with being reprimanded, she also obediently closed her mouth.

After the three sisters chatted for a while, the little girl in the west courtyard came to look for someone to go back.

……

……

Lunch was served at Begonia Zhai.

Shen Ci and Cheng Guyuan went to Fuxian at the beginning of the month, and Shen Congwen finally hung the car peacefully and said goodbye.

A large family gathered in one room, if it was in the past, Ye Lingwu was naturally calm, but now that he has changed his identity, he is nervous to see the elders in the room again.

Entering the gate of the Begonia Courtyard, Ye Lingwu's pace became slower and slower, until Shen Zhan felt that he was dragging people forward, and then turned around and said, "What is Qingqing thinking?" ”

Ye Lingwu lowered his head and said sullenly: "...... It's nothing. ”

Shen Zhan glanced at her left and right, and Qingtang Yuantao's heart was cold, and he immediately understood, and hurriedly retreated to five steps away.

Immediately, he gently lifted Ye Lingwu's cheek with one hand and looked at her fixedly: "You have something on your mind." ”

Not a question, it's an affirmative tone.

Even inadvertently with the majesty of a superior person.

Ye Lingwu pursed his lips and did not speak.

Shen Zhan looked at her: "You and I are about to become husband and wife, what can't you say to me?" ”

Ye Lingwu raised his eyes and said slowly: "I know that you and I will become husband and wife, but ...... However, couples also have their own privacy concerns and thoughts. ”

Shen Zhan frowned and said, "Yes, you can have it, but it's not good to hold things in your heart, so you should let your husband share it together." ”

“……”

Ye Lingwu was powerless in her heart, the man's desire to control in front of her was too strong, she hadn't married at this time, if she really got married, would she even have to write a report where to go?

Shen Zhan saw that she didn't speak again, and his voice softened a little: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't be bored." ”

Ye Lingwu writhed uneasily.

She can't say that it's because I'm afraid to meet the elders in the Hou Mansion who have long been familiar with each other, after all, this time is different from the past, and now I am your fiancée, and I am no longer a girl who was simply raised under the knees of Old Lady Shen.

"Are you unwilling to marry me?" Shen Zhan frowned.

"Huh?" Ye Lingwu couldn't react in time.

Shen Zhan's eyes darkened, and he said, "But it's useless for Qingqing to regret it now, I won't retreat easily from this family business." ”

“…… I didn't say I regretted it. Ye Lingwu muttered.

Shen Zhan's eyebrows stretched: "That's fine, let's go, don't let your grandmother and mother wait." ”
