Embroidered color and fragrance

Chapter 145
After Ying Jin left work, many people lived in the backyard. The dining hall was in the middle of the front and back yards, which was somewhat similar to Ying Tian's Jinxiu Workshop.

At this moment, Su Wanru was sitting in the dining hall fiddling with the dishes. She really had no appetite at all. She poked the bottom of the bowl and looked at the man sitting across from her, feeling itchy with hatred, "There are so many people looking at you. Are you embarrassed?"

"What's there to be embarrassed about." Shen Zhan said, pointing to her bowl with his chin, "I eat too little, eat more."

Su Wanru gave him a blank look, slapped the chopsticks on the table, and said, "Mother Qin, you don't need to wash the dishes today, let everyone rest. Our Lord Hou said he is sympathetic to us and wants to help us wash the dishes."

"Ah!" Qin's mother was terrified, she glanced at Shen Zhan, and waved her hands, "No, no! It's already a great honor for Master Hou to come to our place for dinner. You just give me ten courages. I don't dare to ask Master Hou to wash the dishes."

Su Wanru glared at Shen Zhan, "It's hard to buy his willingness. If you don't wash him off, or don't give our Lord Hou face, Lord Hou will still be angry."

Qin's mother was stunned, and looked at Shen Zhan cautiously, "Hou...Hou Ye..."

"Well. Listen to your aunt."

Qin's mother was sweating profusely, she didn't dare to speak anymore, she led someone to put away the bowls and chopsticks and put them in the basin. The embroidered girls in the dining hall saw this and quickly finished eating. After a while, there was no one in the dining hall It's over.

"You have two choices now." Su Wanru knocked on the table and looked at him with her chin, "One is to leave immediately, the other is to leave immediately after washing the dishes, you choose yourself!"

Shen Zhan glanced at her, then silently ate the food in her bowl, and carried the bowl within bowl to the basin with bowls and chopsticks in the yard.

There are so many people, all the bowls are stacked together, there are five big pots.

Qin's mother looked uneasy, standing in the corner at a loss, not daring to leave, let alone come forward.

The laughing footstool was placed next to the basin, Shen Zhan tied his robe around his belt, glanced at Su Wanru, and said: "Back then, I was serving bowls in a restaurant for three days for a steamed bun, and I have experience in washing dishes. "

Su Wanru rolled her eyes, she didn't know who smashed the dishes all over the place this afternoon, but she had the nerve to say that she had experience!
"After washing the dishes for three days, I haven't washed them again." Shen Zhan washed several dishes and threw them aside without raising his head. "If I want to eat steamed buns again, I'll grab them. Problems that can be solved with fists , never talk nonsense."

"What are you talking about?" Su Wanru said, "You're threatening me? I didn't ask you to stay here. If you're not happy, leave immediately."

Shen Zhan raised his head and smiled at her. The dazzling smile made his eyes dizzy, "I will do whatever my daughter-in-law asks me to do, and I won't leave!"

"Shameless." Angrily, Su Wan stepped forward and kicked him, and said, "Don't wash it, you didn't clean the bowl, how can you use it tomorrow."

Shen Zhan wiped his hands on his body, glanced at Qin's mother, and said proudly: "My wife is reluctant to let me wash it!"

Qin's mother immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, our Aunt Su has a knife mouth and a tofu heart, so please don't take it to heart, Lord Hou."

My dear mother, why did Aunt Su and Zhennan Hou get into a fight?

"I'm sick." Su Wanru was too lazy to talk nonsense with Shen Zhan, so she turned around and left, and Shen Zhan followed her silently, but there were two dogs following her.

Shen Zhan glared at Er Gouzi, this stupid dog can't help at all.

Ergouzi also glared at him and barked a few times at him.

Shen Zhan gritted his teeth.

Er Gouzi didn't rub it, and ran to Su Wanru's side wagging his tail to rub it. Su Wanru patted its head and said, "Did you eat? Did you go for a walk by yourself when I was not at home?"

"Woof." Er Gouzi shook his head and tail, and glanced at Shen Zhan out of the corner of his eye.

I don't know what it means, but in Shen Zhan's eyes, this stupid dog is showing off and demonstrating.

Look, I am more favored than you.

"Wait, I'll stew you later." Shen Zhan pointed at it, and Su Wanru stared back at him, "Who are you stewing, I think you should be the most stewed."

Shen Zhan smiled, nodded and said, "Yes! Stew me."

"Shameless." Su Wanru returned to the room.

Er Gouzi, "Wow, woof, woof!" followed her into the room.

The door is closed.

Shen Zhan endured the humiliation and sat down on the threshold. The two dogs didn't sleep here before!

"Master." Lu Cheng appeared in the yard, dodged his eyes, and whispered: "The old lady said, if you don't go back to serve the sick, she will immediately ask the Empress Dowager, and if her son is not filial, she will ask the Empress Dowager to give it to you immediately." Give a marriage and let the daughter-in-law take care of her."

"I'm not free now." Shen Zhan sat on the threshold, his clothes were the same as yesterday's, his beard was the same as yesterday's, his appearance was still handsome, and his aura was still aggressive, but his appearance was not flattering.

Lu Cheng's eyelids twitched, and he said, "Then... Miss, do you forgive me?"

"Guess." Shen Zhan looked at him out of the corner of his eyes, Lu Cheng chuckled, and said, "Then...the subordinates will go back and report to the old lady."

Shen Zhan didn't speak, but the door suddenly opened, Su Wanru appeared at the door with folded arms, Lu Cheng was shocked, and hurriedly cupped his hands and replied: "Girl!"

"It's just in time." Su Wanru said: "Your Lord Hou didn't wash the bowl just now, you go and wash it for him."

Lu Shi groaned, "Washing the dishes?"

"Go. It's the master's debt, you should come." After Su Wanru finished speaking, she slammed the door shut.

Lu Cheng looked dazed, "Master... what kind of dishes are you washing?"

"There's so much nonsense." Shen Zhan said, "Go wash the bowls in the dining hall!"

There are four hundred embroiderers in Yingjing, and there are at least three hundred living in the backyard. There are so many people, two bowls per person... He can't finish washing until tomorrow morning. Lu Cheng's eyes are red, and he wants to cry. Looking at Shen Zhan in tears, he walked out of the yard with the sword on his shoulder.

He knew that revenge for offending a girl would never be taken lightly.

If I knew it earlier, I should have let Min Wang come.

He's being stupid again.

"Wanwan." Shen Zhan scratched the door, "Let's talk, I have a lot to say to you. You don't forgive me, but we are also friends, so it's okay to talk."

Su Wanru said: "No one is your friend. Hurry up and go home and watch over your mother."

"What does it have to do with her? I am me and she is her!" Shen Zhan said.

Su Wanru sneered, and said, "Without her, how could I have you. You said it lightly!"

Shen Zhan hesitated to speak, thought for a while to change the subject, "Wanwan, do you know about Marquis Changxing's expedition?"

Su Wanru must be concerned about this topic.

Sure enough, Su Wanru said through the door: "I originally wanted to persuade him, but I couldn't help myself at that time. When I came out yesterday, he had already set off."

"Well." Shen Zhan said: "Nurhachi has recuperated for 13 years, and if we fight now, we are no longer his opponent. I plan to ask for my life to help Changxing Hou next month."

Su Wanru frowned, opened the door and looked at him, "What do you mean you can't beat him, have you sent someone to investigate, is Marquis Changxing in danger?"

"He has nearly [-] soldiers and horses under him now. In the past ten years, he has completely turned over." Shen Zhan stood up, patted Su Wanru on the shoulder, and entered the room with a worried look on his face. "It's not that the Marquis of Changxing is sure of winning if he wants to fight, but he needs to make some plans, otherwise, this trip will be full of dangers."

Su Wanru frowned. She didn't want Marquis Changxing to go to war. She made it clear that she shouldn't go to war now. She simply couldn't understand Zhao Zhiang's thoughts. Tell him about it."

"Well, I'll write right away, you get me the pen and ink." Shen Zhan poured tea for himself, drank it, and looked at Su Wanru solemnly, "I'll have someone deliver it after I finish writing, he shouldn't have gone far."

Su Wanru stood at the door and looked at him coldly, pretending to have a serious conversation with her, but then shamelessly entered the room, poured tea and asked her to fetch pen and ink.

For the sake of Marquis Changxing, she endured it.

Su Wanru took a pen and ink and put it on the table, Shen Zhan wasn't just joking.

Worrying and writing letters are both real, but the matter is far from so urgent. He can write a letter anytime within half a month.

When Shen Zhan wrote a letter, Su Wanru turned on the light and sat across from him, looking at him.

Didn't wash his face, didn't wash his hair, didn't take a bath, didn't shave, didn't change his clothes, this person was as dirty as a dog!
Su Wanru spurned her endlessly, and said strangely: "Why, your old lady is sick, you won't take care of her, and if she dies later, you will be an unfilial son."

Shen Zhan looked up at her, "No, she is in better health than you."

"Hey! Aren't you very filial? Don't you feel guilty for saying this now?" Su Wanru said.

Shen Zhan paused, stained with ink, and looked at her again, "How do you know that I am filial?"

"If you are not filial, you will fall into her way. I think you did it on purpose. You deliberately let her forget me for you. How easy it is. You don't have to be dragged down by me." Su Wanru said.

Shen Zhan wanted to laugh happily, but tried his best to hold back, nodded and said: "No, being with you will never be a drag."

Su Wanru snorted, pointed to his letter, and said, "Why did it take so long to write, I'm going to sleep."

Shen Zhan folded the letter and placed it on the table, looking at Su Wanru eagerly, "Wanwan, can you just listen to my explanation. There is a big misunderstanding in this matter!"

Of course I knew there was a misunderstanding, but that didn't stop me from being angry.Su Wanru sneered, and pulled him up, "Go, go, go! Don't be an eyesore to me. Say what you have to say. Go home quickly."

"If you don't forgive me, I won't leave." Shen Zhan refused to leave.

Su Wanru pushed him out and said: "Then it has nothing to do with me, you can do whatever you like!"

He slammed the door shut.

Shen Zhan rolled up his sleeves, sat on the threshold and closed his eyes to sleep. It was very cold just after New Year's Eve, and it started to snow in the middle of the night. Su Wan fell into a hazy sleep, feeling a fluffy head rub against her palm , she patted and said, "Why did Er Gouzi tell you not to rub against my bed?"

Er Gouzi was lying in the kennel sobbing, wronged!

Su Wanru turned over, rubbed her head again, and muttered, "Be obedient!"

After she finished speaking, she touched her prickly beard with her hand, and she woke up in a jerk, only to see someone sitting on her footrest, lying on the edge of her bed, sleeping!
"Shen Zhan!" She gritted her teeth, "Who let you in."

Shen Zhan opened his eyes, moved his hands and feet, "Daughter-in-law, it's snowing outside, I'm so cold."

"Leng, go home. What do you mean by relying on me? Are you planning to blackmail me when you get sick?" Su Wanru kicked her, and he grabbed her foot, frowned and said, "Why don't you cover it?" Under the quilt, my feet are still so cold."

As he said, he stuffed her feet into his arms, "Why are you sleeping like this, go in there, and I'll cover it for you."

"Shameless!" Su Wanru kicked her feet, and Shen Zhan fell back, looking at Su Wanru pitifully, "Wanwan..."

Su Wanru snorted, turned over and covered herself with the quilt, "Go by yourself, I see you are angry now, even if you come to heaven for the stars, I will never forgive you."

"Then I'll give you my heart." Shen Zhan came over, held her hand, and rubbed against her, "No, I belong to you, so naturally my heart is also yours."

Su Wan felt cold and slapped his hand away.

Er Gouzi silently rubbed over and put his head on the edge of the bed.

So, when she looked back, it was Shen Zhan's face and... Er Gouzi's face.

She turned over and sat up angrily, covered her head with a pillow and beat her face, Er Gouzi went back to the kennel howling, Shen Zhan didn't move and let her hit her more than a dozen times, laughing, "Is the anger gone?"

"Okay, it's useless for you to rely on me every day. You should do what you want." Su Wanru decided to talk to him, Shen Zhan, if he wants to accomplish something, he will keep grinding it down, " Let me calm down a bit, and we can talk about it after I've calmed down, otherwise, when I see you now, I wish I could kill you, and there's no way to talk about it."

Shen Zhan coughed and asked, "A few days."

"I don't know." Su Wanru yelled at him, "Master Hou, after you left for half a year, your affairs must have piled up like a mountain, you go to deal with your affairs, and I have a lot of things on my hands right now. Are you related?"

Shen Zhan frowned, Su Wanru didn't wait for him to speak, and said angrily: "Two ways, or we will break off diplomatic relations from now on, or you can leave now and talk about it after we calm down."

Shen Zhan whimpered, and said: "Then I'll go back first." After a pause, he took a wooden carved lady from his arms and gave it to her, "I carved it when I was idle on the road."

It was a thin woman in a skirt, the carving was very delicate, especially her eyes and two long braids were very recognizable, Su Wanru recognized her at a glance.

"Yeah." She reluctantly took it, threw it on the bedside, and waved her hand, "Go, I'm going to sleep."

Shen Zhan muttered something, and reluctantly went out.

Su Wanru lay down, and waited for a while when there was no movement outside. She was no longer sleepy after tossing and turning, and touched the wooden doll with her hand. It was made very meticulously, and it felt smooth on all sides, obviously it had been carefully polished.

"It's not that I've been on my way. Where did I come to carve the dolls?" Su Wanru knew that he must have heard the news of her accident when he came back, and he could tell from his appearance that he didn't stop all the way, so he couldn't have time to do this.

Is that carved when you went there?
He probably didn't remember it at that time, right?
She snorted twice, but she was still very curious about how he solved the memory problem, and whether he went to find the Jiang family. Is there really a Jiang family in this world.

Chengdu is so far away, how did he make it back and forth.

"I'm sick!" Su Wanru got up, took out a small box from the cabinet, put the doll in the box and locked it, and then went to bed.

Shen Zhan walked through the yard of the embroidery workshop with his hands behind his back to meet the snowflakes, and Lu Cheng followed up with his sleeves folded and he was dying. Shen Zhan looked back at him and asked, "Why are you still here?"

"Master!" Lu Cheng's eyes were red, and he choked up, "There are hundreds of bowls, and my subordinate just finished washing them."

Washing dishes is not as good as carrying rice. The martial arts learned by carrying rice can be used, but washing dishes is not good. No matter how skilled you are, you have to soak in the freezing cold water, washing one bowl after another. His hands were so cold that he couldn't feel them.

It reminded him of the feeling of lying in the snow on the battlefield without food or drink.

No, this feeling is not as good as being in the snow back then.

Lu Cheng's intestines turned green with regret.

Shen Zhan hummed, and said, "I don't even look good, do you think you will be treated preferentially?"

"But I'm not you." Lu Cheng muttered, followed Shen Zhan over the wall, and the two went to the street. Shen Zhan pursed his lips and nodded, "It can be seen that my wife still loves me."

Lu Cheng curled his lips and muttered, "The girl is too partial."

"You have a big face? She doesn't favor me, so she still favors you." Shen Zhan glanced at him coldly, and asked, "When I go back, I will inform everyone that each person has [-] army sticks, and one less. hit."

Lu Chengzhen cried, and replied dejectedly: "Yes." He knew that Shen Zhan punished him because they did not take good care of Lu Shi.

The two returned to the mansion one after another. This was the first time Shen Zhan came back after returning to Yanjing. When Min Wang opened the door, there was a low cheer in the yard, and there was a sound of saluting. Alright, I've got hot water ready, and I'll take it to your bedroom."

"No, it's in the study." Shen Zhan went straight to the study and asked, "How many people did Si Sanbao check?"

Zhou Feng replied: "A total of eleven people were investigated, seven of them were sent to prison, and the rest were suspended pending investigation. Now the Beijing officials are in panic, for fear of being implicated."

"Which ones are you going to convict after looking at Princess Hou Song?" Shen Zhan took off his robe, and Zhou Feng reported their names one by one. Shen Zhan nodded after listening.

Zhou Fengdao: "You have to say hello to the Ministry of Punishment. These officials will definitely not be able to do it, but how to punish it depends on the Holy One."

"I'm going to the palace tomorrow." Shen Zhan said: "These scum, exile alone can't relieve their hatred, Shaanxi has few soldiers, so send them away!"

Zhou Feng nodded, these civil servants went to guard the border, they must have gone and never returned.

But he was a little surprised why Shen Zhan was so angry about this matter.

He vaguely guessed something, but didn't dare to think deeply.

"Lord Hou." Zhou Feng collected his thoughts, pointed to a few letters on the table, sat down opposite Shen Zhan, and said, "Marquis Changxing has gone to fight Nurhachi. You are not here, and no one in the court can persuade you. Things, the subordinates think it is unreliable."

"If you don't do anything, the Holy Majesty will always be thinking about it." Shen Zhan said: "Last time I talked about fighting, and in the end it cost a few 10 taels of silver. Cao Enqing's incident happened. Now that I have Annan's money, the Holy Majesty's first thing is naturally I want to fight Nurhachi has cleaned up, so that he can truly feel at ease."

Zhao Zhiang suffered a lot in the hands of Mongolian people since he was a child. His parents and brothers only left him and his old mother, and the only close relative was Ding Guogong. After that, he fought wars for more than ten years. The most important thing in Zhao Zhiang's life , that is, Yuanmeng people.

This point, Shen Zhan can understand, this matter has become his obsession.

"What Hou Ye said is that the treasury only has such a small amount of money, and I am afraid that if the war moves, it will be difficult to make ends meet and support. In the end, it will be difficult for Changxing Marquis." Zhou Feng sighed.

At this point, Shen Zhan nodded slightly.

The two servants came in carrying the bathtub, and Qingliu brought a change of clothes, saluted and said in a low voice: "Master, the old lady has been lying down for a whole day today. Do you want to go and have a look?"

"What disease, has he diagnosed it himself?" Shen Zhan asked.

Qingliu shook his head, "Just said that he was sick, and didn't mention anything else."

"Go ahead, do what you have to do, just do your duty." Shen Zhan began to take off his clothes, Qingliu should have retreated with Zhou Feng, after a while he opened the door with his hair down, Qingliu took Pazi came in to twist his hair, Shen Zhan waved his hand and said, "You are not needed here."

Green Willow should go.

The servant carried the hot water out, Zhou Feng came in again, and Shen Zhan asked, "Princess Zhilan is still missing? Does Qiu Rong have a letter to come back?"

"Qiu Rong wrote back, but the princess still hasn't been found. He entrusted Lord Zhu of the Bingma Division to help keep an eye on the vicinity of Yanjing, and suspected that Princess Zhilan would sneak back." Zhou Feng replied.

Shen Zhan frowned, knocked on the table and looked at Zhou Feng, and said, "How do people go? Qiu Rong shouldn't be so careless."

"In his letter, there was a ladder in the yard where he lived. On the night when the princess left, they all guarded outside the yard, but in the middle of the night, the guards saw someone sneaking past the door. Because the assassin had just appeared They didn't dare to take it lightly, so they chased him for half a street, but no one was caught."

"I didn't know until the next morning that the princess climbed out of the yard along the ladder at that time. There was no more news from the waiter, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead."

Shen Zhan still knows a little about who Zhao Yiyu is, "It seems that someone helped her. Has Ma Yuxiao sent someone to check her whereabouts?"

Everyone in Beijing knows that Ma Yuxiao likes Zhao Yiyu.

"The subordinate has someone check it, and he is also secretly looking for the princess, it doesn't look like a fake." Zhou Fengdao: "Second Master Ma probably doesn't know."

Shen Zhan didn't say a word, this happened very suddenly, and there was no reason to explain it, who would help Zhao Yiyu escape from marriage, and who would benefit after escaping from marriage.

strange!
"One more thing. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince recently hired a new staff member." Zhou Feng thought for a while and said, "Since this staff member came, it seems that His Royal Highness has spent more time in the palace." Zhao Xu and Zhao Dong has a good relationship, so after Zhao Dong's accident, Zhao Xu has been recuperating in the mansion on the grounds of recuperating from his illness and never going out.

Counting it, it has been half a year.

"Staff? What did you do?" Shen Zhan flipped through the letter in his hand, and Zhou Feng replied, "I didn't do anything, but the Holy Majesty's attitude towards His Royal Highness has improved."

This is also a skill. It seems that he did something, but no one knew about it. Shen Zhan nodded and said: "Although Zhao Xu has some strategies, but he is very timid, just send someone to watch."

Zhou Fengying looked at Shen Zhan and asked, "Do you want to sleep for a while?"

"Yeah. I'll stay here for a while, and I'll go to the palace tomorrow." Shen Zhan said, rubbing his forehead, stroking his beard all over his face, putting away the letter, taking a blanket and leaning on the soft couch for a nap.

Zhou Feng blew out the lamp and went out.

One night without talking, Shen Zhan opened the door of the study room early the next morning, and saw Lu Jingqiu standing at the door, covered in snow, and her face was frozen purple, she saluted and said: "Master Hou, take a look Master, she is really unwell."

"Not dead?" Shen Zhan sized her up with a calm tone, as if asking if you had breakfast.

Lu Jingqiu's face turned red, she lowered her head, and said, "Master Hou laughed, I... After I took the poison, Master saved me."

"Yes." Shen Zhan nodded, "Next time, the medicine will be more powerful, so as not to be rescued again."

Lu Jingqiu was on the verge of falling, looking at Shen Zhan, tears streaming down her face, "Master Hou, if you want me to die, I will die right now, as long as you are happy."

"I'm not happy or unhappy." Shen Zhan brushed his teeth at the door, washed his face with water, and glanced at Lu Jingqiu, "Go and tell her to calm down. Don't make me anxious, I won't remember who she is .”

"You know what Master means." Lu Jingqiu said: "She just felt that when you were young, she didn't care enough for you, and now she wants to make up for you, so that mother and child can spend more time together. Everything she does is It's for your own good."

During the interval of speaking, Shen Zhan had already had his hair combed by the boy, but Lu Jingqiu didn't dare to go in, so he could only stand at the door and talk.

Shen Zhan straightened his robe, "I'll go and have a look."

Lu Jingqiu's eyes were gloomy, and she responded one by one, and followed Shen Zhan with her head down. She looked up at his back... Shen Zhan was very tall, and she didn't have to look up when she looked at her from a distance. This reminded her of the first time. The first time I saw him, she was seven years old and Shen Zhan was eight years old.

In fact, before meeting him, she had lived with the master for a year. She was picked up by the master. She only remembered that there was a mountain in front of her house, and she couldn't remember the rest.

She didn't know how to survive outside, and she couldn't remember the chaotic two years.

After following the master, she thought at first that the master was not married, that she was alone and had no fixed place to live. It was very hard for her to follow the master, but she felt very happy.

That time, she stayed in Jingzhou with Master for two months, and then returned to Chenzhou. She clearly remembered that it was New Year's Eve. She was happily sitting on the threshold eating snacks when she suddenly saw a small The boy leaned across the road and looked at her. After many years, she still clearly remembers that at that time, she was eating braised duck necks and wearing a newly made peach red padded jacket. , because it was the Chinese New Year, the owner took the whole family home.

On the quiet street, there was only that boy, tall and very thin. In the cold winter months, he was wearing a pair of ripped trousers, his knees were exposed, and his jacket hung obliquely on his shoulders, leaning against the wall. On the ground, feet folded, eyes slantingly looking at her, like laughing, but also like sarcasm.

She was startled, and felt that the other party had malicious intentions, so she called Master to come out.

Unexpectedly, the master just took a look at the door, and said calmly: "That's Shen Zhan." After saying that, he left again.

She didn't understand at the time, and it was the first time she heard the name Shen Zhan.

Until the boy came over, kicked over her stool, stared at her coldly, and said, "Are you her apprentice?"

"Yes... yes." She was a little scared, "You are Shen Zhan? What is your relationship with Master."

Shen Zhan spat and said with a sneer, "I'm her old man!" As he spoke, he kicked the door open and shouted, "Isn't it Chinese New Year? If you have something to eat, bring it up."

Master came out of the kitchen, put the food on the table, and said lightly, "Wash your hands!"

Shen Zhan didn't wash it, stepped his muddy shoes on the chair, picked up half of the fish with chopsticks, swept a bowl of meat, stood by the table, and after a while, he ate cleanly, waiting for the master to come out When he was there, he was already picking his teeth on the edge of the kang, looking at them, "Where should I sleep?"

There are only two rooms, one for her and one for the master.

"There is no room for you." The master said, "Cleaning up is too troublesome, so you can find a place to make do with it."

She was standing on the side at that time, at a loss, she just felt that Shen Zhan was terrible, and the master was so indifferent that she had never seen before, she couldn't imagine that they were mother and son.

"I'll just sleep here." Shen Zhan patted the kang and said with a sneer, "This is my home, why is there no place for me to live in?"

As he said that, he lay down on the kang, his dirty shoes and worn-out trousers were just placed on the blanket she had just washed.

She remembered that she was very distressed at that time, other than that, only Shen Zhan was sleeping with his eyes closed.

The master didn't speak, and asked her to sit down to eat. Firecrackers were ringing outside, and finally there was a hint of New Year's atmosphere... Master slept in her room at night, but she stayed up all night, thinking about Shen Zhan next door.

Has he washed his face, washed his feet, and changed his clothes? She can actually wash and mend him when the sun rises.

After all, he is the master's son.

After finally waiting for dawn, she cooked breakfast and went over pretending to bring rice bowls, there was no one from Shen Zhan.

Since then, every New Year's Eve, no matter how many times she and Master moved, Shen Zhan would come as promised on New Year's Eve, eat a meal, and leave the next morning.

Master never mentioned him, as if there was no such person.

She was curious how he survived alone outside.

Until one year when he didn't come back, she and her master went to Pingjiang Mansion after the new year, stayed in Pingjiang Mansion for half a month, and finally saw Shen Zhan, he was following a girl, smiling, that smile was warm and bright, Dancing her eyes.

It was completely different from Shen Zhan in her memory, like two unrelated people.

Only later did she know that the girl was the princess of the Later Song Dynasty, Su Wanru.

She is so beautiful and exquisite that she doesn't seem to live in the world, she is different from all the girls she has ever seen...

She knew that Shen Zhan liked her.

However, with such a different identity, it is useless to like it. She felt it was a pity. Later, she lived in Pingjiang Mansion with her master and did not tell Shen Zhan. Shen Zhan and Su Wanru often went out, once. It took half a year to come back.

After returning, Shen Zhan left within a few days. They found out that Shen Zhan defected to Zhao Zhiang.

It would be meaningless to stay in Pingjiang Mansion any longer, so she and her master went to Liaodong, because Li Mao'an was in Liaodong, and the master said it was the safest place.

Shen Zhan became a Marquis, and sent someone to ask the master once, but the master didn't answer at that time, she thought the master would not go to Shen Zhan's place, but later the master found out that Su Wanru of the Later Song Dynasty was not dead, but she didn't remember Shen Zhan, They met in Yingtian.

Later, when Shen Zhan went to Liaodong, he was completely different from before, his whole person seemed to be shining, no matter in appearance or momentum, she had never seen it before.

In this world, no man can compare to Shen Zhan.

Master asked to go back to Beijing with Shen Zhan, saying that he wanted to take care of the elderly... She was also very strange, but she looked forward to it, so that she could be with Shen Zhan all the time.

Lu Jingqiu came back to her senses, only to realize that she was standing on the veranda, and Shen Zhan was no longer in front of her. She smiled wryly, and went to Lu's yard with her skirt.

Shen Zhan entered and sat down. Mrs. Lu was in the warm pavilion, lying on the kang and reading a book. He glanced at the other party and said straight to the point: "What did you do?"

"Do what I should do." Lu put down the book, and said sarcastically, "Why, I'm willing to come back."

Shen Zhan looked at her, his eyes became colder, Lu frowned slightly, and suddenly sat up, his face changed greatly, "Have you gone?"

There was no beginning or end to this sentence, but Shen Zhan could understand, he said: "Yes, I have been there."

"You are so courageous!" Lu lifted up the blanket on her body, as if stung by something, her eyes were almost tearing apart, "What did you do?"

Shen Zhan was calm and looked at him in a leisurely manner, "Mother, I just went to see my uncles and brothers. It's just a pity that I didn't see my grandparents. If you said it a few years ago, I could still kowtow to them. back early."

"Beast. Beast!" Lu grabbed the teacup and threw it towards him. Shen Zhan flicked his sleeves and stood up, looking down at her, "Yeah, the beast came home and saw the beasts everywhere , I feel very good."

Lu Shi took two steps back angrily, fell down on the kang, and pointed at Shen Zhan, "You...what did you do." Only her people understand the way of making people forget, and now Shen Zhan has recovered his memory. The only explanation is that he found her people.

How did he find it, what did he do, Lu couldn't imagine, his eyes turned red with anger, "You will be punished."

"Okay." Shen Zhan's voice was neither high nor low, and his deep voice made people's hearts tremble, "Let Lu Cheng send you back to Chengdu Mansion tomorrow. There are beautiful mountains and rivers, which are more suitable for retirement."

Lu Shi was furious, pointed at him and said, "You treat your mother like this for a woman?"

Shen Zhan didn't speak, took a pair of bells from his bosom and put them on the table, pointed at Lu Shi and said, "I forgot to say, they asked me to bring them to you."

A pair of very ordinary copper bells are sewn on the seams of trousers by children. When they toddle or run, they will make a tinkling sound, which is very clear and interesting.

"You...you..." Lu Shi grabbed the bell, his eyes were blood red, and he fell down on the kang.

Shen Zhan flicked his sleeves and turned to leave when Lu Shi suddenly said, "So, you know everything?"

"Know what." Shen Zhan looked back at her, "Please explain to me, mother."

Lu Shi took a deep breath, calmed down, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Our mother-child relationship has never been close. This is my fault, but blood is thicker than water. If you don't get close to me, I will still be you." mother. And they are also your relatives, you can't do this to me, and you can't treat your relatives like this. "

"I said before, you can take care of yourselves, and I'll take care of you." Shen Zhan didn't even turn his head, he dropped the curtain, and his voice stayed behind, "If you insist on going your own way, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Lu's eyes went dark, and he fell on the kang clutching the bell, not knowing his personnel.

"Master." Lu Jingqiu entered the door, supported Lu Shi, and it took a lot of effort to wake Lu Shi up. She looked at Lu Jingqiu and asked, "Where is Shen Zhan?"

Lu Jingqiu replied: "Master Hou has gone to the palace."

Lu Shi closed her eyes with a sneer, and Lu Jingqiu said worriedly: "Master, you have something to talk to Hou Ye about, Hou Ye is a hard-spoken person with a soft heart. He is thinking of love for you, otherwise, he would not have talked about it every year before. I went back to spend the New Year with you."

"Stop talking." Shi Lu waved his hand, "Go out, I'll be alone for a while."

Lu Jingqiu nodded, helped Lu Shi lie down, closed the door and went out.

Holding the bell in her hands, Lu's tears flowed like rain, suppressed crying, and said in a choked up voice: "My son..."

Zhao Yan released the letter, and Zha Rongsheng carefully served tea and asked, "My lord, what did uncle say?"

"Uncle said that there is indeed a Jiang family." He said, put the letter into the brazier, looked at the flames, and said: "It seems that Shen Zhan has already been there."

Zha Rongsheng didn't understand, and asked in confusion: "How did the Marquis of Zhennan know the Jiang people?"

"It's not clear yet, but he did meet him." Zhao Yan didn't say it clearly, and he had to confirm this matter again. After thinking about it, he looked at Zha Rongsheng and said, "You went to another courtyard and didn't see him." Uncle?"

"No, there are only a few people around him who are always with him. The servant carefully inquired, and it seems that he has gone away alone and will come back after a while. Please don't look for him. When the time is up, he will come back naturally. .”

"Yeah." Zhao Yan nodded slightly, and said, "Uncle likes to travel, and it's a good thing to look around when he can still go out."

He said, quite enviously.

"I plan to discuss with my uncle about going to the fief when he comes back next time." He wanted to go early.

Zha Rongsheng nodded, "However, if you want to go, I'm afraid the marriage cannot be delayed. What do you plan to say, Your Majesty?"

"The Marquis Deqing dare not ask for an imperial decree until he confirms that I have no other intentions. But I can't delay my going to the fief forever. I told my father that it shouldn't be a big problem." Zhao Yan paused for a while. , Thinking of Su Wanru, sighed.

What exactly did she say to her father to make her an aunt.

Something flashed before his eyes, he seemed to think of it, but he didn't think of anything.

Su Wanru came out of the girls' school and went to Tianxia Department Store by car. Shopkeeper Qiao greeted her at the door, and pointed to the backyard with a strange expression, "Aunt Su, someone is looking for you."

"Looking for me?" She felt strange, looked behind, and asked, "Who is it?"

Shopkeeper Qiao said in a low voice, "It's Mrs. Shen."

"Her?" Su Wanru was taken aback. What did she come to see her for? Could it be that she wanted to fight?

No matter how capable she is, she doesn't dare to act wildly on her territory. She snorted, and said to shopkeeper Qiao: "I'll go to see her, and when I hear the sound of me throwing the teacup, you can take me with you." People rush in, don't care whose mother she is, just give her a good beating."

Shopkeeper Qiao opened his mouth with an expression of choking on an egg, and stammered, "Hit... hit Zhennanhou's mother?"

"It's not my mother." Su Wanru rolled her eyes at him, "She is disrespectful, so I can beat her."

With that said, he went to the backyard with Ergouzi.
