Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 56 Our Secret

Let people invite He Zhu to enter the wing room in the temple and arrange a place to live.

Lu Chun looked at Shen Xiniang with a smile in his eyes, "My lady is really not an ordinary person!"

Shen Xiniang was expressionless, "Mr. Lu is not an ordinary person!"

After blessing Lu Chun, Shen Xinniang held Dan Xin's hand and got into the carriage again.

Lu Chun had been standing at the gate of the courtyard, watching the carriage drift away.

This lady Shen!

Shen Shangshu came back from the entertainment, his face finally became lighter, and the good censor said that he had already talked through several other colleagues.It wasn't a big deal at first, but the autopsy said that the boy was probably at the end of his life, and that in such a calamity, he was hit by mistake and died.Nothing to do with pawnbrokers!
It's about the Hongfei matter, and someone above is holding on to it, which is a bit troublesome.

He also told him that if he could find the other half of Hong Fei, maybe this matter would be settled!

As long as he stopped by reading his papers and let him have a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, that is, turn the capital upside down, he doesn't believe that he can't find that red jadeite!

When he met his colleagues, he felt a little lighter in his heart, and greeted them with his hands folded.

The colleague also bowed his hands and returned the salute, but there was a bit of sarcasm on his face.

This, what happened?
Do you think he's going to fall for this matter now?
Do you think his position as Minister of the Ministry of Officials is no longer stable?Nonsence!It's not there yet!

After seeing two colleagues in the court in a row, they looked at him with strange eyes.

Shen Shangshu still doesn't understand what's going on. On the way home, he heard neighbors talking about Shen's family and Mrs. Shen...

I can't hear clearly, this is the Shen family, what happened again?

After returning home, Shen Shangshu heard about the scandal that happened at home today. All the neighbors saw that the "fool" of his family was forced out of the house by his stepwife.

People sympathize with the weak, and in the eyes of outsiders, that fool is naturally weak.

Shen Shangshu stroked his chest, only to feel his ribs aching with anger.

"Why did you let her go out?! Don't you know the current situation at home?" Shen Shangshu lowered his voice and reprimanded Zhu Shi.

Zhu Shi was aggrieved and wiped her tears, "I thought she was just having a childish tantrum, who would have known that she just...she really dared to do that..."

"Hmph, I'm afraid that the entire capital is watching my Shen family's jokes! The last time your nephew was poked blind, I'm afraid you have forgotten it?" Shen Shangshu snorted coldly.

Mrs. Zhu gritted her teeth when she heard the words, "I will never forget, but my nephew's surname is Zhu after all, and her surname is Shen! Now, can you be so lenient towards your own family and your own father?"

Shen Shangshu's face became even more ugly, and he yelled, "Where is she?"

"I went out for a day and didn't come back for a long time. I'm living in Shaoguang Courtyard!" said Zhu.

Shen Shangshu left angrily.

Zhu Shi slightly lowered her eyes, and when Shen Shangshu went out, she wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.

Her stepmother can't beat or scold her, a few lessons from being a father is to beat and scold, it can't be blamed on her, right?

Shen Shangshu hummed angrily and went to Shaoguang Academy.

When he came to the gate of Shaoguang Yuan, he was stopped by the butler who came in a hurry.

"Master, master..." the butler was out of breath, "I heard that you came back, and the villain is looking for you everywhere."

Shen Shangshu frowned, "What happened again?"

The butler quickly shook his head, "Nothing happened, nothing happened!"

"Then I'll listen to you after I teach this unfilial girl a lesson!" Shen Shangshu pushed the butler away and was about to enter the Shaoguang courtyard.

When the butler heard this, he didn't care about his dignity, and quickly reached out to grab Shen Shangshu's clothes.

"What is this for?" Shen Shangshu turned his head displeased.

"Master, after listening to the villain, it's not too late to go in again!" The housekeeper wiped off his sweat, "The eldest lady was not sent back by the Feng family!"

Shen Shangshu was taken aback, "Isn't she reconciled? The Feng family doesn't want to see her off, so it's reasonable for her to come back by herself. Since the Feng family doesn't care about my face, they don't have to be polite to the Feng family in the future..."

"No, master!" the butler gasped, "It's King Qi's car driving the eldest lady back!"

Shen Shangshu's expression froze, "What did you say?"

The steward took a deep breath, and said word by word: "It's King Qi's car that sent the eldest lady back! And it's the king of Qi's car that left after watching the eldest lady enter the Shen family's house!"

Shen Shangshu looked unpredictable.

No wonder people said that no matter who went to see the King of Qi, they were stopped in the past few hours today.

Originally thought that King Qi had something important to do and he didn't want to see these people.

Is it...

He raised his eyes to look at the courtyard gate of Shaoguang Academy.

The beautiful Shaoguang Courtyard reflects the white moonlight, the shadows of the trees are whirling, elegant and quiet, the thick cinnamon fragrance is scattered with the wind from time to time, and the low chirping of insects is like a natural music.

Shen Shangshu frowned, "Why didn't Madam mention this when I was in Madam's courtyard just now?"

The housekeeper said awkwardly: "Maybe...Madam Xu, did you forget?"

Shen Shangshu snorted coldly, she would never forget, if it wasn't for King Qi driving him back, wouldn't she even be allowed to enter the door?

"Hmph, ignorant woman!"

Shen Shangshu stopped for a moment at the gate of Shaoguang Yuan, turned and left with his hands behind his back.

The anger that was all over his body when he first arrived was no longer visible at this time, and his back straightened a bit when he left.

I thought it would be very troublesome to completely solve the pawn shop.

If the king of Qi is interested in this stupid boy of his family, is it still troublesome?
Shen Shangshu stroked his beard and walked slowly, humming a little song unconsciously in his nose.

The attendants behind Shen Shangshu were taken aback, since something happened to the pawn shop, he never saw Shen Shangshu showing a relaxed expression.

Are you humming now? !
·
On the branches of the moon, the night is desolate.

Inside the palace, several palace lanterns were lit up.

The wind blows, and the candles flicker.

The little emperor couldn't hold on, and fell awake like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Mencius told King Xuan of Qi, saying: The king regards his ministers as brothers and feet, and the ministers regard the emperor as his heart; the king..." Before he finished reciting the sentence, the little emperor's eyelids drooped together again.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, should you go to bed?" the eunuch advised.

But the little emperor shook his head and rubbed his eyes, "Go get a basin of cold water, if you can't memorize it well, uncle will be disappointed if you ask me tomorrow."

The eunuch sighed and couldn't bear it, "King Qi is naturally good for the sage, but you are young after all, the sage, you are forcing yourself like this..."

The little emperor pouted, "It's because I was lazy and didn't memorize it well, it's not because my uncle is too strict!"

The eunuch didn't dare to speak any more, bowed and retreated, and asked someone to fetch cold water.

The little emperor shook his head again and began to memorize: "In "Li Lou Zhangju Shang", Mencius told King Xuan of Qi: "The king regards his ministers as brothers and feet, and the ministers regard the emperor as the heart; the emperor regards the ministers as dogs and horses, and the ministers regard the emperor as the people of the country; The king regards his ministers like dirt, and the ministers regard him as a bandit.'..."

Before the recitation was finished, there was a slight snoring sound in the huge hall.

The slender figure who had been standing outside the hall, listening attentively, raised his hand to stop the palace man who was about to bring cold water in.

He stepped into the hall himself.

The footsteps stepped lightly on the thick carpet, not to mention making no sound.

He gently embraced the little emperor who was lying on the table and fell asleep with his firm and powerful arms, and walked inward.

The little emperor woke up in a flash.

He opened his eyes and saw that he was being hugged by someone, rubbed his eyes and looked at the person who was hugging him, and said in a pleasant tone, "Uncle, are you here?"

But the smiling face immediately faltered, and said with some guilt: "I fell asleep again, uncle, am I stupid? I don't want to sleep. I'll go and learn what Mr. Lu taught me before going to sleep."

King Qi, who was holding him, shook his head, "Your Majesty is not stupid. Staying up late to study will hurt your eyes. If you sleep, you may recite it tomorrow."

The little emperor felt relaxed when he heard his relaxed tone, without any intention of blaming him.

Clutching the hem of his shirt with his little hand, he said happily: "Uncle, have you noticed that I have less coughing recently! Even at night, I often wake up from coughing, but now I can sleep until dawn! It must be Shen The lady cooks well, and the pear soup is even better!"

King Qi's footsteps faltered, and he looked down at the little emperor, "Have you talked about this with others? Have you talked about it with the empress dowager?"

The little emperor shook his head, "No, I just told my uncle!"

King Qi nodded slightly.

"This is a secret between me and my uncle, I won't tell others!" The little emperor smiled while covering his mouth.

King Qi couldn't help but laugh, when the little emperor rewarded Shen Xiniang without discussing with him in advance, the empress dowager probably knew about it.But he didn't pay attention to it.
