11 Meet my cousin

On the official road from Chang'an to Luoyang.

After leaving Beijing, Shen Hanshuang was not in a hurry, so he stopped and stopped all the way and enjoyed a lot of good scenery along the way.

In the past three years since she got married, in order to manage the palace and stay by Zhu Yinzhou's side more, Shen Hanshuang will estimate the time every time she leaves the palace temporarily, and she will not delay too long.

Now the palace is a thing of the past for her, where to go and how long to go is only determined by Shen Hanshuang's own wishes.

Shen Hanshuang remembered that because of his early experience in the layman's business, her uncle particularly liked the unique roughness of the wine in this small wine shop, so she tasted them all and picked some good ones.

"The selected wine will be divided into half to my uncle after arriving in Luoyang, and he can't drink more when he gets older." Shen Hanshuang commanded.

Haruka beside her teased: "The girl should be hungry for this, right?" ”

Shen Hanshuang tasted the aroma of wine between her lips and teeth, and said truthfully with a smile: "It's a little greedy." ”

Chunye is Shen Hanshuang's maid in marriage, and she has been by her side since she was a child, so she naturally knows that she was taken by her uncle when she was in the Ming family, and she also likes to drink some wine occasionally. She is not greedy for this mouthful, but tastes a little when she rises, and never gets drunk.

But after marrying into the palace, in order to avoid mistakes, and worried that Zhu Yinzhou, who has always been happy and clean and never drinks, would not like her with the smell of alcohol, Shen Hanshuang never drank again.

"Don't let my grandmother know that I brought wine back," Shen Hanshuang didn't forget to tell Chunye, "otherwise she will have to think about this in her heart." ”

Compared with my uncle, my grandmother is really old. A few years ago, the doctor had instructed my grandmother not to drink these spirits anymore, but at most to taste something milder and lighter.

Speaking of which, this should be a habit passed down from her grandmother, and Shen Hanshuang's mother also likes to taste wine.

Shen Hanshuang remembered that when she was a child, she used to brew wine with her parents, and the wine that sealed the altar was buried next to the pomegranate tree she planted with her own hands.

Her parents said that they would wait until she found her sweetheart to drink with him, but Shen Hanshuang saw that Zhu Yinzhou used tea instead of wine on the wedding day, so she didn't mention it.

Zhu Yinzhou should be more accustomed to staying sober at all times, and don't like this kind of thing that may disturb people's minds.

When she returned to Luoyang this time, she could dig out the jar of wine and drink it herself.

Shen Hanshuang made a note of the incident and returned to the carriage.

In the dark, Zhu Yinzhou's guard Xuanyun fell into a rare dilemma in his life.

Soon after setting off from Chang'an, he found that in addition to himself, there was another person who was secretly following the princess.

He thought that someone had bad intentions, but after secretly following him to investigate, he found out that that person was actually the second son of General Zhenxi, Lin Yuanhui.

Before the prince got married, he ordered Duan Yun to check the life of the princess. He remembered that Lin Yuanhui and the princess had known each other since childhood, and they had a good relationship, and they were more worthy of the words "childhood sweethearts" than Chen Lanshuang and the prince.

Although the Chen family and the Pingnan Mansion had intended to discuss marriage, Chen Lanshuang did not have any special significance to the prince.

Before Lin Yuanhui went to the battlefield for the first time, he swore to his father that if he made military achievements, he would let General Lin go to the Shen Mansion for him to propose marriage.

It's just that before Lin Yuanhui returned to Beijing, the Pingnan Mansion and the Shen family decided to get married.

That's all old things, and the facts in front of me are the ones that make Broken Cloud the most difficult-

Lin Yuanhui is familiar with the places where he can stay along the way. Whenever the princess arrived, he would rush to the next place in advance to find out the situation along the road in advance. If there is any problem ahead, he will also solve it first.

What's even more astonishing is that Lin Yuanhui will spend money to specially invite some vendors to the vicinity of the inn in advance. The princess who arrived later would always be attracted by the things sold at the stalls, and would always buy a few things. When it comes to eating and playing, Lin Yuanhui didn't make any wrong arrangements.

Lin Yuanhui not only knows the situation along the way from Chang'an to Luoyang, but also understands the preferences of the princess.

This should not be the first time he has taken this road from Chang'an to Luoyang.

Or it can be said that this is not the first time that Lin Yuanhui has secretly followed the princess back to Luoyang.

Looking at what Lin Yuanhui did, even if Jieyun had never been interested in any girl, he knew that this was unusual.

Do you want to report to the son?

But the task arranged by the prince was to let Broken Cloud secretly escort the princess to Luoyang safely, and did not order anything else. The prince of the world dislikes his subordinates to make their own decisions, and they do more.

Seeing that Lin Yuanhui rushed to the next place after the princess got into the carriage, Xuanyun didn't hesitate any longer, but still summoned the carrier pigeons of the palace and handed the news to Chang'an.

Before leaving, he realized that for the prince, the princess was different from others.

If he is troubled, he will be punished. But if something is delayed because of him, it is not something that can be remedied by him being punished.

On the carriage, in the slight shaking, Shen Hanshuang fell asleep unknowingly,

She felt like she was out and about, and it was a lot of fun. But after sitting in the carriage for a long time, she will also feel tired.

When he woke up again, through the curtain of the carriage that was blown by the wind, Shen Hanshuang saw someone riding a horse next to the car.

Shen Hanshuang's mind was in a trance for a while, and then quickly withdrew from it.

Since leaving Chang'an, Shen Hanshuang occasionally thinks of Zhu Yinzhou, but he is not concerned about him, he does not have the feeling of hanging his mind, it is just like recalling an old man.

She mistook the guard next to the car for Zhu Yinzhou.

After getting married, if Shen Hanshuang wants to return to Luoyang at other times, Zhu Yinzhou will not be with her. But before the death of Shen Hanshuang's parents, I wish Yinzhou to return to Luoyang with her.

At that time, Shen Hanshuang would sit in the carriage and secretly look at Zhu Yinzhou on the horse through the gap in the curtain.

The year before last, it was King Pingnan who ordered him to walk with her, and last year Shen Hanshuang couldn't help but take the initiative to ask the day before leaving, and Zhu Yinzhou also agreed.

At that time, Shen Hanshuang was quietly happy in his heart, feeling that his willingness to walk with him this time was no longer because of the prince's request, thinking that the relationship between them might have become closer.

didn't expect that it was actually her request.

He respected her as a wife, so he agreed.

If Zhu Yinzhou was willing to go on this trip with her, he would not have asked about it until the day before her departure, and he would not have taken the initiative to mention it.

This year is the third death anniversary of Shen Hanshuang's parents since they got married. She had reconciled with him, and she had embarked on this path without any shackles.

Before Shen Hanshuang left Beijing, he had heard his grandfather say that the old emperor was in these days. Then Zhu Yinzhou should be able to become the prince soon.

In the future, he will be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Chang'an City, and he will have a bright future under one person. She was also able to spend time with her grandmother and grandfather.

That's a good result.

It's much more decent than looking at each other and getting tired of each other in the end.

The sound of a horse approaching made Shen Hanshuang come back to his senses from the past.

Someone stopped the carriage.

Shen Hanshuang was slightly distracted, but he didn't lift the curtain of the carriage.

"Girl, it's the eldest son of the Ming family who is here." Outside the car, Haruha reported.

Shen Hanshuang was a little surprised, and hurriedly lifted her skirt and walked out of the carriage, asking, "Why is my cousin here?" ”

She will be able to reach Luoyang in one day at most, but she didn't expect to see her cousin Ming Shubai here.

Ming Shubai had already dismounted, walked steadily towards her with something, and said softly: "Grandmother is not at ease, let me pick you up." ”

Behind him, a light and bright voice answered: "It's clearly your own ......"

"Don't talk nonsense." Ming Shubai looked back and interrupted her.

Shen Hanshuang didn't think about it, and stepped forward with a smile to take Ming Shuxue's hand: "My cousin is here too." ”

Fourteen-year-old Ming Shuxue affectionately took Shen Hanshuang's hand and said playfully: "Fortunately, the raccoon slave in the family can't ride a horse, otherwise the eldest brother wouldn't have brought me to talk to my cousin." ”

"It's all big girls who are almost in time, why are they still comparing themselves to raccoon slaves?" Shen Hanshuang said with a smile.

When she returned to Ming's house last year, Shen Hanshuang got a cute raccoon slave, and she liked it so much that her cousin ate it every day, and she had to compare to the tanuki slave who couldn't speak.

Ming Shubai handed the things in his hand to the spring leaves on the side, and told Shen Hanshuang: "There are some fresh fruits chilled in it, you have to take it out and put it away before eating." ”

"The eldest brother is too partial," Ming Shuxue immediately complained, "When I came, the eldest brother knew that he was urging me to hurry, and the heat was scorching, and he was reluctant to even give me a few fruits to satisfy my hunger." ”

That Xiaoice Jian was full of sweet fruits that her cousin loved to eat, and Ming Shuxue naturally didn't really want to compete with her favorite cousin, she just wanted to make fun of her brother.

A few days ago, Shen Xiang sent someone to send a letter to the Ming family. When I first heard my grandmother mention the matter of her cousin and separation, the person who had always been calm and calm accidentally knocked over the teacup and burned the back of his hand.

It was obvious that he wanted to come from Luoyang to pick up people in advance, but not only pulled his grandmother's flag, but also didn't forget to bring her over-

One is to accompany my cousin to talk to relieve boredom, and the other is to avoid any gossip from someone and tarnish my cousin's reputation.

These things were tacitly stated that Bai and his sister could only say helplessly: "When did the family lack you to eat?" ”

"There is no shortage of me at home, but you may not be."

Seeing that his cousin, who had always been gentle and elegant, was choked by Ming Shuxue and had nothing to say, Shen Hanshuang said to Ming Shuxue at the right time: "Okay, you are still standing under the sun on such a hot day, and you are not too hot." ”

She led Ming Shuxue to the carriage and coaxed: "Cousin is in charge, you can eat these fruits if you want, but you can't be greedy, be careful to cool your stomach." ”

"It's still my cousin who treats me well." Ming Shuxue said with a smile, and didn't forget to turn around and give Ming Shubai a smug and flaunting look, as if to say, "Look, only I can ride in the same car with my cousin."

Ming Shubai glanced at her silently.

Ming Shuxue was quiet, nodded slightly, and didn't make any more trouble.

She knew that her brother was reminding herself that she was not allowed to mention the person in Chang'an in front of her cousin, nor was she allowed to ask about Heli.

Ming Shuxue knew how deep her cousin had been for that cold person, and she didn't want to mention her sadness.

After the two got into the carriage, Ming Shubai also turned over and got on the horse, and the group continued to move forward.

On the way, Ming Shuxue lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the scenery outside, and after feeling bored, she stopped thinking.

In the hot afternoon, seeing the dazzling sunlight thrown into the carriage, Ming Shubai on the side deliberately dismounted and removed the curtain from the outside.

He said softly to Shen Hanshuang in the car: "If you are tired, take a nap, and I will wake you up when you get to the place where you will stay tonight." ”

Shen Hanshuang noticed Ming Shubai's movements, and knew that he had always been proper and meticulous, so he said softly: "Thank you, cousin." ”

The broken clouds in the shadows see all of this.

And he found that since Ming Shubai appeared, Lin Yuanhui's expression was not very good-looking.

He couldn't help but wonder: Is it too early to send out carrier pigeons?

The cousin of the princess should also be noted down and informed by the prince?
