Shen Hong raised his hand, put the letter into the book first, and put it on the bookshelf to prevent Lin Piao from turning it over when he came, and waited until Lin Piao had rested before he came to check.

However, Shen Hong always had a question in his heart that he did not ask Mu Yu in the letter, when the two armies were fighting on the glacier, the enemy suddenly changed their methods, and caught Huchen off guard, so that Huchen was almost killed.

If this matter had something to do with him, it would have ended up being a bond, but they had known each other for too many years and had too much to do, and many things were no longer clear from the same thing.

If you have to get to the bottom of it, should Lin Piao continue to treat him well, or hate him?

always just makes Piao'er suffer in her own heart.

He packed up his things here, and went to the next room, where two plates of small pigeon had been sent to the dining table, one split in half, cut into small pieces and neatly stacked on the plate, Lin Piao pointed to the plate when he saw him coming: "Freshly baked, it was originally prepared for dinner, Qingyu sent it and said let's taste it first, and see if the heat is suitable." ”

The roast pigeon is just right, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, and the portion is not large, so it is just right to eat a little at this moment.

Shen Hong picked up the chopsticks, tasted a piece and nodded slightly: "The taste is not wrong." ”

Lin Piao said: "If you want to say that the cooks are good, these new cooks from Ergou are right, no wonder it is said that even if you don't know how to enjoy being a traitor, others will rush to teach him to enjoy, and now his life is nourishing." ”

Shen Hong smiled: "There are always hard places. ”

"What? Is he tired of coaxing the little emperor? ”

"Now that Your Majesty is still young, he can't do those checks and balances, and I think he has a good relationship with me, so I don't get close to him.

Lin Piao thought for a while: "Porcelain jade? ”

Shen Hong nodded: "Although Porcelain Jade is in the Fengyue place, the most annoying thing in his heart is the traitorous minister, he is not happy with Lingyue, and in the end there is still a suspicion. ”

"He doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, but does this porcelain jade mean anything to him in the end? Seeing that it seems to have been better for two or three years, how do you feel that when you talk about it, Porcelain Jade still loves to ignore him. ”

"What is going on between them, how can others say it accurately, and let him consume it himself."

Lin Piao nodded, no one can say anything about marriage, what can be seen in the eyes is the fate of the previous life.

Lin Piao remembered something: "Tomorrow I want to go out to Yuemingfang to have a look, recently a batch of new fabrics, Xiaoyue said to send them to the house for me to choose, but these things are also heavy, and it is troublesome to transport them, I will go directly to save trouble, saying that this year's materials are very good, and there is a kind of material, which is woven with lotus root silk, and it should be good for the skin when worn on the body, and then let Xiaoyue cut a few clothes to wear." ”

Shen Hong nodded: "It just so happens that tomorrow I should also get together with my friends in Beijing and talk to them about Bai Ruoxian." ”

"Although he used to be powerful, but now he has nothing, people go to tea and cool, because he is not a person who does practical things, and his good reputation does not last, and it will dissipate when he turns his head, do you still want to talk about him?"

Shen Hong smiled: "It's just a casual chat, there must always be something to say, take advantage of the situation to see everyone's attitude, it's not a big deal." ”

Lin Piao nodded, knowing that Shen Hong had begun to observe the terrain again, which was his usual action before the layout.

……

After lunch on the second day, Lin Piao asked Qiu Yu to clean up a little, and then prepared to go out to Yuemingfang, Lin Piao glanced at the clothes on Qiuyu's body: "Although the clothes are still new, you should also wear bright colors for this solar term, just go to Yuemingfang, and cut two clothes for you, so that you can go to see your Zheng She." ”

When Qiu Yu heard him say this, her face blushed: "What are yours and mine, Madame's words are really nonsense." ”

"Speaking of which, you should also cut Zheng She's body twice, he is younger than you, and when his face is tender, he is very handsome." Lin Piao teased her.

Qiu Yu went straight out, saying nothing and ignoring him.

Seeing Qiu Yu like this, Lin Piao thought of Xiao Yue, she now often walks around in the back house, although the people who come and go are women, but in and out of other people's mansions, it is inevitable to bump into a few men in the house, recently I heard Juan'er say that Xiao Yue seems to have some dealings with the little grandfather of Rongguo Mansion, and I don't know if things are true or false, in the end it is a little bit of contact, Lin Piao is not good to inquire, or ask too closely, only let Juan'er remember that if there is progress, talk to herself about the progress.

The little grandfather of the Rongguo Mansion is also a wife, there is a marriage contract in front of him, the person has not yet married, when he was in his own home, he accidentally fell into the pond and drowned, and the next few times he planned to say that he wanted to talk about new relatives, and every time he met the dead emperor at a critical juncture, or the person was not suitable, so the marriage has not been said.

Now if this little grandfather really looks at Xiao Yue, it is estimated that his marriage will not go well, and he will have to go to Xiao Yue's side.

Lin Piao thought about these things along the way, thinking about how many children were in love and getting married, and they all said that women were precocious, but it turned out that the first to enlighten in this matter were a few boys, which was probably the reason for being more straightforward.

Of course, if they are not married, Lin Piao will naturally support them with both hands and feet, but if they have the idea of getting married, Lin Piao still has to help them take good checks.

There is no need to ask Juan'er first, just inquire about the little grandfather's daily style, and you will know what kind of character this person is, whether he is reliable in doing things, and whether his personality is stable enough.

Just as he was thinking, suddenly the carriage stopped, and heard a commotion outside, Lin Piao glanced at Qiu Yu, who immediately lifted the curtain, went outside to inquire a few words, and then came back and said: "Madam, there is a carriage blocking the road in front of us, and now we and each other are on this road." ”

Lin Piao nodded: "It's okay, let's retreat a little further and get out of the way." ”

Qiu Yu looked hesitant, lifted the curtain and looked out several times, and said with uncertainty: "It's just that carriage, I look like Baifu." ”

"Bai Ruoxian?" Lin Piao glanced through the gap in the curtain she lifted: "It really looks like Baifu." ”

Although the carriage is very similar, in order to show their taste, the nobles of Shangjing have put a lot of effort into the soft decoration, what color the curtain is used, and what ornaments are hung on both sides.

Bai Ruoxian is even more so, his carriage curtain is made of cloud brocade, to be a light color system with dark lines, and to hang obscure sachets on both sides, simple but not simple, it is very recognizable.

Lin Piao sat back in the carriage: "No, let him make way for me." ”

The road is narrow, and the narrow road meets.

Bai Ruoxian had despised him a little at the beginning, but now that he has returned to Shangjing, it is when he wants to come to find a place, if he lets him, wouldn't it be Bai Ruoxian who gave Bai Ruoxian face and lost the face of Shen Mansion.

Qiu Yu thought the same thing in his heart, and when he saw Lin Piao say this, his expression calmed down a lot, and he commanded the coachman in a low voice, and asked the coachman to inform the servant, and the servant went to pass the word, and let Bai Ruo give way first.

Bai Ruoxian heard the words of the other party in the carriage first, his expression was cold, and he didn't say anything, but it was still not okay, and the servants below glanced at his expression carefully, and could only stubbornly say: "Your master is no more than a brother, how can there be a reason to let the court officials make way for him, Lord Bai is now a master and a master of the Son of Heaven, you don't deceive people too much." ”

Lin Piao sneered when he heard this, and this is a big mistake he made no matter what he did, scolding a mere brother as if he could stand in a place of victory, and as a brother, he didn't know how to be gentle and frugal, and he had to compete at this time, which was a big mistake he made.

Lin Piao said: "He is not willing to let him, and he has no reason for me to let him." ”

Qiu Yu said: "Anyway, it's okay today, it's consumed, Mrs. is resting, I don't have to let him earn such a game in vain, just when we are afraid of him." ”

Although Qiu Yu didn't know too many details, he also knew in his heart that Bai Ruo was the enemy of the Shen Mansion first, and it was right to be kind to other places, but he should be tough on the enemy, otherwise he would lose his prestige and be looked down upon in the future.

Bai Ruoxian didn't wait for the other side to pass the word, he thought that he wanted to let him make way, and he should also let the maid come and pass the word and say a few soft words, now he is not without an official position, he is already the identity of the Taifu, Lin Piao wants to play tricks, and he should also be afraid of his identity.

But looking at the other party's attitude now, it is obvious that he does not intend to back down in the slightest.

The carriage of the two people was blocked in the middle of the road, here is the flow of people, the road is narrow, the road on both sides of the road is very wide, only here has become a problem, the people passing by are watching, seeing that these two carriages have no intention of letting anyone, feeling very curious.

"Which two carriages are these, and they are feuding? It feels like I haven't seen it in years. ”

"I look like the one in Baifu, the other one looks like the one in the Shen Mansion, the satin in the Shen Mansion is good, their wheels are thicker than others', everything is very particular, but I don't know who is sitting in it."

Everyone's expressions suddenly became a little subtle, after all, everyone knows that one is the former first assistant, and the other is the first assistant of the current dynasty, and it is normal for the two to meet each other, and it is normal for them to have some competition with each other.

The people on the side looked lively, but some people also talked about it.

"It stands to reason that Bai Ruoxian is so much older than Shen Shoufu, this is not Shen Shoufu's style of doing things, he is usually very gentle to others."

"But if I want to say, Bai Ruo should let Shen Shoufu first, now in terms of official position, Shen Shoufu is big, Bai Ruoxian is young, and he should be a little more interesting, Bai Ruoxian is also old, and he is a little too stingy to care about young people so much, could it be that he is jealous of Shen Hong's young age and sits in his place, and his heart is unhappy?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the discussion in the crowd could not stop, and there was a question about whether Shen Hong should give way to Bai Ruoxian in the end, and who was more important and who was lighter between the two, and naturally they could hear their respective preferences and favorite objects in the words.

Lin Piao listened secretly in the car, but he didn't expect that there would be this one, and he listened quietly to know how the people thought of Shen Hong, and if everyone thought that Shen Hong couldn't do this, he would come forward to let everyone know who the people in the car were and take Shen Hong out.

Anyway, he has always had a reputation as a fierce woman in Shangjing, and he is not unprovoked.

Qiu Yu saw that Lin Piao was listening carefully, and he was also closer, sitting on the side of the car and listening carefully, the words outside were disturbed, the voices were big and small, some were arguing, and some were reasoning.

"Logically speaking, Shen Shoufu should still give way to Bai Ruoxian first, it's a good thing for young people to have temperament, but it's still not okay if they're too frivolous."

"I don't care about those three-seven-twenty-one, I only know that my son and daughter are literate for free, my son is very good at reading, and he also received a reading allowance. Bai Taifu was born in the same way, he didn't think of this thing, if you want me to say, this avenue should be given to Shen Shoufu, who is qualified to compete with Shen Shoufu? ”

"Yes! If you want to talk about age, Mrs. Bai is older, but when you want to talk about what you have done, when Mrs. Bai was the first assistant before, she has been sitting in the position of the first assistant for so many years, but has she done anything? ”

Lin Piao was listening to the discussion below, Bai Ruoxian was also listening to the discussion below, he had been in the position of the first assistant for many years, he had accumulated stars in Beijing for many years, and now he was an elder, thinking that everyone would stand on his side, but he didn't expect that when he heard this kind of words, his face became extremely ugly.

In the eyes of others, he is not as good as a hairy boy's efforts of two or three years, which makes him feel good on his face.

"That's not the case, Mrs. Bai is still very good, a child of my relative's family met Mrs. Bai outside, and Mrs. Bai didn't put on a stand at all, and invited the child to eat candy.

Bai Ruoxian's face was a little pale, and he heard humanity.

"Isn't Shen Shoufu such an official? Shen Shoufu also treats people very well, he has done so many good things in his family, although they are all done by Mrs. Shen, but Shen Shoufu doesn't know at all, he doesn't help at all, if you want to talk about food, Tongxilou doesn't know how many birthdays you have to celebrate every year, and you can go to get birthday dishes every time, and the things that can't be eaten in Shen's mansion are all picked out and cleaned up and given to the poor to eat, and you can get them at the back door every evening. ”

Everyone thought about it carefully, and what Shen Shoufu and Mrs. Shen did could not be taken away alone, because they were all the merits of the Shen Mansion, not just one person, since the Shen Mansion came to Beijing, they did not know how many people they had helped in the past few years, and some people were embarrassed to say that their families were poor, and sometimes the daughters who married out of the family or the girls who were sent to be maids and maids did not dare to flee home after being beaten by the Lord's family. It is not difficult to think about going home after hiding for a while, and the more difficult the family has, the more they will receive the favor of the Shen Mansion.

"It's too small to talk about those little things, what kind of porridge and rice, but to talk about big things, who can compare to Shen Shoufu, the south has been in drought for several years, and there may be one or two rains in the summer, if there is no ditch repaired by Shen Shoufu, the south will survive, and we will have to lack food, not to mention many things in the back, all of which are done by Shen Shoufu alone, not to mention that there are people to help at the beginning, many things are even blocked, if it is not for Shen Shoufu's insistence, how can there be today's situation?"

The common people have their own likes and dislikes in their hearts, and they have a scale in their hearts, and it is inevitable to be subservient to the powerful, but if they let them themselves, they also know clearly what they like and what they don't like.

Everyone didn't hate Bai Ruoxian, and they always felt that Bai Ruoxian was a good official who was not wrong, but Bai Ruoxian's mistake was that he shouldn't have said goodbye to Shen Hong, and as soon as he did this, everyone couldn't help but compare him with Shen Hong, and they only felt that Shen Hong was good in everything, but he just had no merit and no fault, and they couldn't say clearly some of the merits he had.

Bai Ruoxian didn't expect that everyone would love Shen Hong so much, and even had the meaning of fighting for Shen Hong when he was talking, and everyone complained about him one after another, only that he should not block Shen Shoufu's car.

Bai Ruoxian heard the people nearby say this, because he had no road and the attendants beside him did not go down to drive him away, their discussion became louder and louder, and some people even shouted at his carriage in the crowd.

"Mrs. Bai, since you were born poor, why didn't you help the children of the poor family in the past ten years? What kind of life are we ordinary people living, you should be the clearest in your heart! ”

When Bai Ruoxian heard this, his expression was shocked, knowing that today's incident was related to Shen Hong, which aroused the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the people.

Now that Shen Hongmin's heart is longing, he has to avoid his edge.

Bai Ruoxian's heart was very heavy, and he had to admit that Shen Hong had indeed succeeded, that he was not only a successful first assistant, but also a successful poor child, and that he had single-handedly broken the insurmountable gap between the poor and the world, so that ordinary children in the world could read and write.

Even if he was famous, he did all these things successfully.

At the beginning, he also wanted to do these things, but the resistance of many things in the world was too great, and he could not help but repay the kindness of the Ling family, he was such a person, even if he only gave him a bowl of porridge when he was poor, he could remember half his life, not to mention that the Ling family treated him so kindly.

He thought of his wife, they had been in love for ten years, and then she died of illness, and he never remarried, and since then he has guarded the Ling family and the second prince, just to let this home, which once gave him a little warmth, prosper forever.

Therefore, he hated Shen Hong's wolf ambition, Shen Hong's kind of person was born with too much, so he dared to be so uncherished, so he dared to be so wolf-like, he did not get a little preferential treatment and reuse, so he carefully guarded it for half his life, Shen Hong was so young, he did not know how much he was appreciated by the old ministers in the court, and how much he was treated by the first emperor, but he could not do the duty of a courtier.

The king wants his ministers to die, but the ministers don't have to die, he has already gained so much, and in the end he should be satisfied with death, but for his own selfish desires, he has given birth to so many incidents, killing the emperor, so that he does not hate in his heart.

"You go outside and meet Mrs. Shen."

The servant was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what Lord Bai meant, and immediately took off his robe and got out of the car, went outside, stood under Lin Piao's carriage, and greeted Mrs. Shen loudly.

When the people of the four weeks heard this, they realized that it was not Shen Hong who was sitting inside, but Lin Piao.

"It turned out that Mrs. Shen came out, but it was rare to see him come out and walk around, and this time he came out and blocked the carriage again."

"Don't say it, although Mrs. Shen is a bodhisattva, she has a violent temper, I said why Shen Shoufu said that he would not let anything go, it turned out that Mrs. Shen was inside."

"Why is Mrs. Bai still competing with a brother? Although the elder brother is humble, the elder brother should give way, but the one who has the politeness is not a man giving way to the female brother, not to mention that this is Mrs. Shen. ”

After everyone knew that it was Lin Piao sitting inside, their emotions became calm.

Oh, it turned out to be Lin Piao, that's fine.

"Mrs. Shen is a straightforward character, she looks good, she has no bad intentions, and she has made such a thing as □□, we should respect him from top to bottom."

Bai Ruoxian listened to the discussion outside, only to feel that his face was a little hot, these people were deliberately saying these words to him, and asked him to hurry up and give way to Lin Piao.

Bai Ruoxian was silent for a moment and then sighed: "Let the way." ”

The servant on the side looked unbearable: "Your Excellency, ......"

"Let's."

Now that his skills are not as good as others, and the people's will has not been collected in their hands, everyone in Shangjing likes Shen Hong, and Lin Piao has a stubborn temperament, but because of this, he is like a child who is accustomed to causing trouble, and has been unanimously and unconditionally tolerated and favored by the people in Shangjing.

It was his bad luck.
