Shen Hong had long known that the emperor was unreliable, he was in the middle of everything, always ready to move, he wanted to control everything, but he left no room for others, and it would only hurt him.

Shen Hong had observed Chu Yu for a long time, and he was a good emperor, and no matter what his purpose, the final decision would be beneficial to the people's livelihood.

But if he continues like this, Shen Hong is not sure that in a few years, when everything is in his hands, he will no longer need to weigh the pros and cons, and he will be able to make such a correct choice.

What's more, he promised Lin Piao that he would live a stable life, that he would not die short, and that he would not take any risks.

Chu Yu will not keep him for too long, Bai Ruo first used his dark chess, and now uses him as a chess piece, and when he is not needed, he will show this dark chess piece and replace him.

They are all laying out to see who can take every step well.

Before Chu Yu's game was formed and he couldn't crack it, he wanted to take a step closer to his own game.

The dean took a deep breath, his eyes were sharp, and Shen Hong was telling him that he would cooperate with all the emperor's plans, but once the emperor made a move and wanted to get rid of the loyal ministers and destroy the good generals, he would also do it.

He told him in advance so that he could cooperate with him when the time came.

Dean shook his head and looked at Shen Hong.

When I first saw him, he was just a teenager.

At that time he knew that he was not a thing of the pool, but now it seems that he underestimated him too much.

He dared to come back and say this to him, and he had already seen everything clearly in his heart.

He saw everything with his eyes like fire.

The child was so smart, almost terrifyingly smart, that he could see through it at a glance and look to him for strength.

His master was the former crown prince, not the current emperor.

The former crown prince was his student, inheriting his mantle, continuing his thoughts, and they were like-minded, all of which could not be summed up in the words "monarch and minister."

His idea is that the people are noble and the king is light.

Chapter 197

Lin Piao stayed in the county mansion for an afternoon, and after lunch, the maid replied: "Madam, the small courtyard has been cleaned up. ”

Lin Piao nodded, looked around, and thought for a while: "Clean up my daily things, arrange a few attendants, I want to sleep there." ”

The maid was a little surprised: "Madam, it is desolate over there, and it has just been cleaned up, do you really want to sleep tonight?" ”

"I'm still quite nostalgic for the old home."

When the maid heard him say this, she said, "I have taken care of it, and there is nothing else, but the smell is still a little bad, so I will go and light some incense, burn incense, and live in it." ”

The maid said and went out of the room first, and Lin Piao took a look to bring her daily necessities over.

The second aunt and Uncle Qiu have not come back yet, and there are already several people on the side of Tongxilou, who have been dealing with these things for several years, and they are all familiar with them, and they don't need Lin Piao to intervene.

Lin Piao went to tell Xiao Yue that he was going to live in the small courtyard, and asked Xiao Yue to live with him.

Xiao Yue smiled and wanted to say yes, but then reacted, pursed her lips and smiled: "Little sister-in-law, you go to sleep, I won't go over to disturb it." ”

Lin Piao was a little surprised: "What kind of disturbance, you have to go over and accompany me, can you not let me go outside?" ”

Lin Piao will not let Xiaoyue stay here alone, everyone has their own reunion, only Xiaoyue has no family, there are people around her who are fine, and no one around is lonely.

"When Brother Shen Hong comes back, there will be someone to accompany the little sister-in-law, isn't it."

Lin Piao thought to himself, but he was afraid of being a light bulb: "It's okay, if you don't want to sleep there, just stay with me for a while, and stay with me anyway, don't call me alone." ”

Xiao Yue nodded, and the two packed up a little thing and took Xia He and the others over to settle down.

The two of them went to the small courtyard, took two washed old bamboo benches and put them under the eaves, sat down and looked at the sky outside.

Xiao Yue couldn't help but say: "Little sister-in-law, this yard is so small, it feels different from what I remember, when I came here when I was a child, I thought it was so spacious and big, there were so many rooms, such a big yard, sitting in the yard and looking out, a square sky, as if the whole sky was in sight, but now I feel so small, just a few small yards." ”

Lin Piao said with a smile: "It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, and I am used to seeing the people and houses in Beijing, and I feel that it is dilapidated and shabby when I look at other places." ”

"But I remember the days when I used to be here, and I was really happy, and I thought about it every day."

Lin Piao nodded: "It is a very warm thing to have like-minded family members around you to talk to. ”

"It's different here from Shangjing, the happiness here is eating, drinking, making money, and the feeling of going to Beijing is ......"

Xiao Yue's expression was slightly thoughtful, and she recalled the general manager of Shangjing: "Shangjing is more gorgeous, and you can have more happiness." ”

Not only eating, drinking, and counting the money they earn every day, but also guarding, operating, constantly coming and going, constantly accumulating capital, and beginning to hold power in their hands and mobilize resources and contacts.

"The happiness that used to be here was a simple happiness, but the happiness of going to Beijing is a complex happiness."

Lin Piao heard her say this, smiled, the children's lives are becoming more complicated, his life is still easy and easy, of course he knows what all this is thanks to, thanks to the children to bear a lot of things for him, a lot of things that need to be done, resources that need to be collected, contacts that need to be mobilized, he just needs to talk about things, and they will do everything for him.

He enjoyed power and prosperity in Shangjing, but he was not hindered too much, and they all shared each other's burdens and helped each other.

It was slowly getting dark, Xia He lit the lights in the yard, Lin Piao looked up at the lights under the eaves, and suddenly thought of Shen Hong.

Shen Hong when he was a teenager, he was at that time.

They are guarding this lamp, laughing and making a slow life.

Lin Piao blinked, thinking of the handsome and meticulous young man who called his sister-in-law one after another, but he was still holding his hand two days ago and teaching him to draw those excessively wanton pictures.

He blamed him for his talent, and he laughed and sighed, it was Piao'er who raised me well.

Lin Piao thought of that sentence in his mind, and thought that he raised Shen Hong here, feeling a little hot on his face, the back of his hand unconsciously touched his cheek, reached out and took a sip of the teacup, and let the elegant fragrance of tea suppress those inexplicable memories.

Xiao Yue saw that he slapped his cheek again, and drank tea again, I don't know if he was cold by the cold wind: "Little sister-in-law, let's go to the house when it's dark, the house here is so cold in winter, you have to burn the earth dragon to sleep." ”

After Xiao Yue finished speaking, she realized that she was wrong: "Burn the kang, I just remember the earth dragon." ”

Xia He and the others didn't know how to burn the kang, so they made a pot of charcoal fire, and lit a few large firewood sticks and put them in, but it was about the same.

Lin Piao's house was also covered with quilts and beds, and when Lin Piao went to it, he didn't feel much comfortable, and the main thing was a bittersweet memory.

Lin Piao lay down for a while, and then heard Xiaoyue say, "Little sister-in-law, I'm going back." ”

Lin Piao sat up: "Okay, let someone escort you back, and don't walk back alone." ”

"Okay."

Lin Piao heard Xiao Yue's voice disappear, and quickly lay back down, the aunts should have been over there, Xiao Yue went over to meet and talk to them.

Lin Piao thought about it, and heard a slight squeak, and the door was gently pushed open, Lin Piao followed the sound and looked over, and saw Shen Hong standing at the door, bowing slightly and walking in.

It turned out that Shen Hong was back.

Lin Piao looked at him with some surprise, although he knew that Shen Hong had grown up, but seeing that this threshold that was very sufficient in the past now had to lower his head to come in, which once again aggravated the feeling of being right and wrong.

"Came back so early? Don't spend more time with the dean? ”

"The dean was going to rest early after eating, and they told me that you were here, and I came over."

Lin Piao looked at him with a smile: "The feeling here is amazing, it's like going back to the past." ”

Shen Hong smiled and only nodded slightly.

He doesn't like the past.

Especially when it's here.

He began to realize that he cared more and more about Lin Piao, Lin Piao, who was waiting for him under the bright lamp, was warm and made people feel a burst of struggle in his heart, and that feeling was unbearable.

Now that he has supreme power, he can also embrace Lin Piao in his arms, which is incomparable in the past.

At that time, he even had an idea that he could guard Lin Piao like this all his life, they didn't need to overstep, he would always be his beloved sister-in-law.

But when he thought about the men who might marry him, the emotions that surged in his heart became more and more continuous.

Shen Hong's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the person on the bed whose clothes had been spread out, revealing a pure white undershirt, and his long hair was a little scattered on the soft pillow, and his eyes were slightly dark.

He stepped forward and sat on the edge of the kang: "Piao'er is waiting for me?" ”

"Nature."

The purple gold inlaid jade crown worn by Shen Hong shone slightly in the dim light, but it was not as burning as his eyes.

Shen Hong propped his hands on the edge of the bed, and felt that the kang was burning, and the quilt was warm.

He leaned over, lowered his head and kissed Lin Piao: "Piao'er, here, I think of many things from the past. ”

Lin Piao looked at his eyes and nodded slightly: "Yes, at that time, I waited for you to come back every rest day, and sent you out in the evening with a lamp, and it was dusk, and you and Ergou came and went like this, which was really hard." ”

Shen Hong took Lin Piao's hand and kissed it: "I remember something else. ”

"What's the matter?"

"At that time, Piao'er only treated me as a junior, but I already had a thought in my heart, and Piao'er's recognition of the man was really difficult."

Lin Piao glanced at him, and if he counted this old account, he would not admit it: "You eat your own flying vinegar, you deserve it." ”

Shen Hong smiled lightly: "Yes." ”

"Everything else is fine, but this one, you're a stingy bag."

Shen Hong straightened his sleeves, sat down next to Lin Piao, and let Lin Piao lie on his lap.

"Piao'er will never know about my jealousy, Piao'er is untouchable to me at that time."

But others are qualified to touch it.

He has taboos that cannot be tainted, but others can covet them at will.

Shen Hong stretched out his hand to pick up Lin Piao and let Lin Piao sit in his arms.

Lin Piao was suddenly picked up by him and was a little stunned, looking at his eyes: "What are you doing?" ”

Shen Hong tilted his head slightly, pressed the back of Lin Piao's head and kissed it, and looked at Lin Piao's eyes after kissing.

"Prove that Piao Er is mine."

Lin Piao couldn't help but laugh: "It's yours, it's yours." ”

It's fine in Shangjing, only once in a while, but now when I come back and recall the past, I'm a little childish again.

"Piao'er is really mine?" Shen Hong asked softly.

"It's yours."

Lin Piao wanted to hold down Shen Hong's hand that had probed into the hem of his clothes, but hesitated for a moment and finally connived at his movements.
