Chapter 072: Expected Disappointment
Shen Yunchu bit her lip, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, she quickly calmed down and replied: "No, we just happened to meet that day, and he helped me out of the siege." ”
Listening to Shen Yunchu's words, Shen Jichang didn't say anything more, just breathed a long sigh of relief, a little helpless, but he also knew that there were some things that he couldn't control.
After a moment of silence, he pondered for a moment, and only said: "Crispy, you have always been sensible, don't lose your sense of proportion at this time." ”
Shen Yunchu knew what Shen Jichang meant, the daughter of the Shen family, and the husband she was going to marry in the future could not be enemies of the Shen family, for the sake of the Shen family and for herself.
Bai Yuheng is different, he is the crown prince, among the many princes, he is the most outstanding, but the Shangguan family is far from being the dominant family back then, and it is also the easiest to target.
Now, the situation is still unclear, whether he, the crown prince, can wait until Emperor Sheng'an abdicates, it is not certain, and no one knows what the result will be until the end.
Moreover, now, even if Bai Yuheng is the prince, to Shen Yunchu, he is just a foreign man, and if he gets too close, he will inevitably be gossiped about.
He is different from Song Yuancheng, there are many more people staring at him than there are people staring at Song Yuancheng, and if he is not careful, he may affect the Shen family.
Shen Yunchu lowered his eyes slightly, bowed his head and replied, "My daughter knows." ”
Saying that, Shen Jichang left with Bai Weiyu.
Back in the courtyard, Shen Yunchu hadn't entered the door yet, and Shen Si Shi also happened to come back, and when he walked into the house, he handed a roll of rice paper to Shen Yunchu, "Miss, portrait." ”
This is the portrait of the thirteenth prince of the Borderless City that she asked Shen Sishi to do secretly before, and in her scattered memory about Murong Xuan, he really shouldn't be like this.
But when Shen Yunchu opened the portrait, the first thing that caught his eye was a black dress, silverware, and a mask covering his face, and he was indeed the person now.
Shen Yunchu couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but it didn't dispel her suspicions, since the other party came prepared, it was naturally impossible for her to find the flaw so easily.
She spread the portrait flat on the table and carefully surveyed it, so that the portrait and the current Murong Xuan can be said to be exactly the same, including the costumes.
After a pause, she turned her head to look at Shen Sishi: "Where did you get this portrait?" ”
Shen Sishi replied truthfully: "According to the instructions of the young lady, hurry up and go to Wuxi City, find the first foothold after the thirteenth prince entered Sheng'an, which is the temple where he once lived, and let the monks inside describe what he painted." ”
Wuxi is very close to the Boundless City, and the first stop Murong Xuan has to pass through when he leaves the Boundless City is Wuxi, which is the place where someone is most likely to have seen the real Murong Xuan.
In this way, this person had already done it when Murong Xuan left Wujiang?
After thinking about it, she couldn't figure it out, but in the end she could only sigh lightly, without any clue, she could only say: "Okay, there's nothing to do with you here, you can go out first." ”
After saying that, Shen Sishi bowed his hand slightly, and turned his head and went out with Linlang.
Shen Yunchu sat at the desk, his eyes fell on the painting, on the portrait, although he could only see the eyebrows and eyes, he also seemed to be seven or eight points similar to Bai Yuheng, which was difficult for Shen Yunchu to feel that he was really the thirteenth son of the Borderless City.
How can two people who have nothing to do with each other be so similar?
Is it really just a coincidence?
She was thinking about it, when there was a sudden knock on the door outside, Shen Yunchu was alert, and subconsciously got up to fold the portrait and pressed it with the book on the side.
"Come in."
The door was gently pushed open, and the person who came in was Shen Qingyue.
Shen Yunchu was a little surprised, after all, at this time, she should be teaching Mama Xi to practice embroidery in the same house.
After the ceremony, they don't have to go to the school to listen to the class, and there is also a special teaching at home, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and book etiquette, which is arranged from morning to night, and what "female precepts" and "female training" need to be memorized.
If it's not a morning and a night, or a special time, then there is basically no rest at all, unless the homework is done well and is appreciated by the grandmother, the grandmother can also be allowed to rest.
"Sister? What are you doing here? ”
Shen Yunchu asked, greeted her, pulled her to the table next to her and sat down, Linlang brought tea and snacks, put them on the table, and turned her head and went out.
Before she could answer, Shen Yunchu could see that Shen Qingyue was smiling, and she looked in a good mood at first glance.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Shen Qingyue said: "Father, he authorized me to go to the barracks with my eldest brother, and by the way, I helped my eldest brother count the weapons." ”
"Yes." Shen Yunchu's eyes lit up, this was something she didn't expect, Shen Jichang had always opposed Shen Qingyue's contact with knives and guns, but this time he was quite open-minded.
Originally, she thought that it would take some time to completely resolve the conflict between them, but now it seems that it will be a little faster than she imagined.
She smiled: "It's a good thing, Sister, you can go, if it's a long time, don't worry about the family, the second aunt and Shaoheng, I will help you take care of it." ”
Shen Qingyue looked at her, her face was grateful, she nodded, "I really don't know how to thank you, the last hunting banquet was the same, crispy ......"
"Sister." Shen Yunchu held her hand, interrupted her unfinished words, and said earnestly: "You and I are sisters, don't say these kind words, you are my eldest sister, I hope you are well." ”
Shen Qingyue nodded, held her hand instead, the sisters looked at each other and smiled, Shen Yunchu was indescribably relieved, and there was a feeling of making up for the lack and regret of the previous life.
"And when are you leaving?" After being moved, Shen Yunchu was a little worried, "Do you want to prepare more clothes or something, after all, the conditions in the barracks are definitely not as good as at home, in case you are not used to it......"
Shen Yunchu's tone paused slightly, and the more he spoke, the more worried he became, but Shen Qingyue smiled and said: "Don't worry, the second aunt has helped me clean up, besides, it won't take long to go, I'll be back in three or five days, the distance is not far, and the meeting will only take one day, you don't have to worry." ”
Hearing her say this, Shen Yunchu nodded thoughtfully, but he still couldn't help but worry in his heart, although Shen Qingyue was different from others, she loved knives, guns and sticks since she was a child, but she couldn't stand her from being born in a deep house.
Come to think of it, after all, it can't compare to those who spend all day in the barracks, what if you go and don't get used to it?
Thinking about it, her brows wrinkled unconsciously, Shen Qingyue saw it in her eyes, and couldn't help laughing, Shen Yunchu raised her eyes to look at her suspiciously, she raised her hand, pinched her nose gently, and quipped, "You, such a small person, why do you still think so much?" Like an old mother. ”
"I'll just go for a few days, come and tell you good news, besides, there is a big brother here, who can bully me?"
Shen Yunchu smiled bitterly, although she is not an old mother, but in her past life and present life combined, she is indeed in her twenties, although her body is small, but her mind is not small.
Of course, this can't be said, and if you do, you will be considered crazy.
Thinking of this, Shen Yunchu only smiled and nodded, and then said: "Then Sister must also pay more attention, although it is not far away, it is not possible." ”
The Shen family is not a small family, so it is always good to keep a few more eyes.
Shen Qingyue nodded, the two chatted for a long time, and seeing that noon had arrived, Shen Yunchu left Shen Qingyue for lunch.
The weather was good today, so the two of them sat in the courtyard, and as they were talking, as soon as they raised their eyes, Shen Yunchu saw a familiar figure walking into the courtyard, it was Jiang Yinian.
