The carriage wheeled and reeled, and Shen Zhen fell on top of him. After smelling the sandalwood fragrance, he couldn't help but bounce up immediately.
Seeing his frown slightly, she hurriedly sat up and fiddled with her skirt.
Lu Yan was unhappy in her heart, and her expression became much colder. Seeing that she was honest, she rubbed her temples with her index finger and rested for a while.
The gentle wind blew the curtain of the carriage up and down, and Shen Zhen looked at the scenery outside through the gap. Chang'an really hasn't changed at all, it's still as prosperous, the crowds on the street are bustling, playing and singing, so happy.
It's just that in the past, the Marquis of Yunyang's mansion, which was like a city, no one cares about it anymore.
After passing through Zhuque Street, they arrived at Yanfufang. When passing by a mansion, Shen Zhen suddenly raised her hand and grasped the curtain. The street scene moved backwards, but her eyes gradually drifted away with the ever-shrinking mansion.
That was Li's house, the house of Li Di, the current minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the husband's house of Shen Jiao.
Thinking of the big sister, Shen Zhen's heart was slightly sour, and before the tears welled up, she thought that she couldn't cry, so she let go of her hands, put down the curtain, and turned her eyes.
Don't look, don't think, don't read, that's fine.
Shen Zhen took a deep breath, and before she could breathe out, Lu Yan pulled her little face over with her hand.
His thumb rested on her chin, his hand was neither light nor heavy, and he said solemnly, "What's wrong?"
Shen Zhen looked at his indifferent gaze, and knew that it was not the right time to speak. She shook her head and whispered, "No, no, sir, rest." In Shen Zhen's opinion, once her request was rejected by him , it will be difficult to speak again in the future.
Have to wait.
The rest of the way, Lu Yan didn't say a word, and stopped looking at her. After returning to Chengyuan, he went straight back to the study.
Shen Zhen looked at him uncharacteristically, really puzzled.
Obviously she helped him today... why...
After the twilight faded, it was a dark night. The corner of the swastika wall lit up with lights, illuminating the bare willow branches and the everlasting green pines. The whispering whispers in the yard gradually disappeared, leaving only the bathtub The humming sound from the .
Before it was time for Hai, Lu Yan pushed open the door of the clean room.
The one who caught the eye was Shen Zhen who was leaning on the edge of the bathtub and fell asleep. Her three thousand blue silk was behind her ears, and a large area of her skin was exposed. The mottled red marks on her body were all traces of his evildoing.
Lu Yan walked to her side silently, looked down at her, and saw that she still had a thumbprint on her chin. But he just pinched it lightly, because she was too delicate.
He reached out to test the water temperature. cold.
He sighed, bent down and fished her out. Shen Zhen woke up, instinctively fluttered twice, and after meeting his eyes, he relaxed and hung on him honestly.
Lu Yan took off his cloak, covered her, and sent her back to the house.
Shen Zhen shivered coldly and gathered up her clothes.
She didn't have an inch of thread just now, and subconsciously thought he would do something, but he just put her away, turned around and went out. Still silent.
This sinking Zhen finally realized that something was wrong.
Once his eyes were infected with the coolness, the air in the room became oppressive, and it was difficult to breathe.
She closed her eyes and began to think back from the moment she went out in the morning. Everything was the same as usual. What went wrong
Shen Zhen admits that she didn't say anything wrong all day...
She wondered anxiously how to speak to him tonight.
Just thinking about it, she heard his footsteps returning.
Shen Zhen couldn't help lying down quickly and closed her eyes. It's just that her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and it looked like she was dozing off.
Lu Yan turned off the light and lay down slowly.
Listening to his gradually calm breathing, Shen Zhen couldn't help but leaned closer to him again, without saying a word, tentatively, and held his hand.
Lu Yan didn't throw it away, and didn't exert any force, as if he was really asleep.
Shen Zhen took his hand all the way up, and fiddled with his palm so that it was up, flat on the side of her jade pillow, and then she put her ear on it and rubbed it lightly twice.
Seeing that he didn't move, she reached out and tugged at his shirt again, and called out, "Sir."
This appearance is exactly the same as when she made a mistake when she was a child and begged Shen Hao to give her a top bag. Before you reach your goal, you have been grinding you down like this.
After a long while, the cold-hearted heart beside her like a blade was blunted by her.
He turned sideways and glanced over, a little annoyed. I don't know if he is annoyed with himself or with her.
He had just passed through Yanfufang, and he could see all her small movements.
Even why she pleases her at the moment, what he wants to say, he is very clear.
But it was absolutely impossible for him to agree to her going to Li Mansion, not to mention how many people in Chang'an are now staring at Shen Yan.
Just say Li Di.
His father-in-law had just been removed from the Ministry of Industry by the sage. In this outlet, it would be good for him not to be implicated. Who would have thought that he would actually be promoted.
He has only been a jinshi for three years.
An eighth-rank supervising censor has transformed himself into the current fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of Industry. With his son of a poor family, if no one is promoted, it is absolutely impossible.
When his thoughts returned, he looked at the Shen family daughter in front of him. He withdrew his hand and said slowly, "Shen Zhen, go to sleep."
As soon as the voice fell, Shen Zhen swallowed all the words in his stomach. She knew that he was not letting her speak.
She turned slowly, bowed, and closed her eyes.
Lu Yan's eyes fell on her fair back.
The slender body and the slightly open and closed Butterfly Valley all tugged at him with pity.
He stretched out his hand and stroked it twice.
—
Early the next morning, Yang Zong hurriedly whispered a few words to Lu Yan.
Soon, he returned to the government of Zhenguo.
As soon as he entered the mansion, the housekeeper hurriedly whispered, "Master Shizi, the old lady is waiting for you inside."
Lu Yan nodded slightly, said "um", and strode towards Madam Lu's yard.
Inside the room, the Meng family girl was sitting beside the old lady, reading scriptures. The woman's voice is sweet, and the old lady has a smile on her face, which is very comfortable.
"Grandson greets grandmother." Lu Yan's cold voice just hit Meng Suxi's heart. But when he thought that he hadn't returned to the house for many days and went to that place again, he couldn't help biting his lower lip.
The old lady smiled and waved to Lu Yan, motioning for him to come over, but as soon as he walked in, the corner of the old lady's mouth froze in place.
How could there be nail prints on his good grandson's neck
She knew at a glance that it was a scratch on the woman's fingernail, and when she thought of the gossip that had been circulating recently, she couldn't help but froze.
The third grandmother's direct sister, Meng Suxi's mother, is here today as a guest. How can he see his future mother-in-law like this? Even if the Duke of Zhenguo's family is noble, he is a family when he gets married, and he must not use his influence to bully other people's daughters.
If you want to talk about relatives, hang around in that kind of place, what does Mrs. Meng think.
The old lady's expression changed suddenly, and Meng Suxi couldn't help but look back. At this sight, her body froze unsurprisingly.
The three undisguised red marks on his neck were telling her that he really had a skin-to-skin relationship with those women in Huajie Liuxiang, which was not an ordinary entertainment at all.
As soon as this thought came out, Meng Suxi's eyes became wet.
Seeing this, Mrs. Lu quickly patted Meng Suxi's shoulder and said, "Good boy, you go back first, grandma has something to tell your cousin."
Meng Suxi suppressed the embarrassment in her heart, lowered her head, and choked: "Suxi understands."
When Meng Suxi walked past him, sure enough, she smelled the faint fragrance again.
As soon as the person left, the old lady said: "Brother Yan! Do you know that the eldest lady of the Meng family has arrived at our house today? You are like this... How can you meet people?" Although it was under the guise of visiting relatives, who would not You know, Mrs. Meng came to see Lu Yan on purpose.
If it wasn't for the old lady who said this today, according to Lu Yan's temperament, he would have to reply - why can't I see people
But this is his own grandmother, who is too old to resist.
Lu Yan took a long breath and said, "Grandmother, I really don't like that Meng family daughter."
Mrs. Lu's face flushed slightly with anger at his words, "Then tell me, what are you doing? If you can't tell, don't let me go out this door today."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Yan immediately turned around and closed the door, and sat down in front of Mrs. Lu with a round stool, "It's been a long time since my grandson read scriptures to my grandmother." After that, he picked up Meng Cai Meng's Su Xi's scriptures laying there.
The old lady took the book from his hand, looked him in the eyes, and said to him word by word: "This child Suxi, I think it is very good. Although their Meng family has no title, its foundation is not enough. Shen, but in the end, you are a new noble in the imperial court, and you are winning the heart of a saint, and because you are close to our family, it is not a grievance to you, right? Besides, can ordinary people bear your temper? The Meng family girl is gentle and considerate , filial piety to the elders, her appearance is also good, what is wrong with her, why is she so unworthy of your face?"
Lu Yan rubbed the jade pendant in his hand and said with a smile, "Grandmother, my second brother has given birth to you a great-grandson, why are you holding on to me?" Now that my grandmother is old, she prefers sweet-mouthed girls. He told Meng Suxi's inconsistencies, and he didn't know how her old man could hurt her.
When Mrs. Lu saw him like this, she knew that he had made up his mind. She knew that it was useless to persuade him. After a while, she pushed him with her hand, "Go out, go out."
After Lu Yan went out, he said to the housekeeper, "Go to the second brother's room and take Brother Yun to the old lady, and say I'll let it go." Lu Yunzhi was the pistachio of the whole family, and everyone laughed along when he cried. He is incomparable.
Lu Yan returned to Suning Hall, and after a while, the eldest princess pushed open his door aggressively, and as soon as she entered the room, she stared at his neck without saying a word.
The eldest princess has always had a big temper. She patted the table and said, "The girl from the Meng family is crying in your third aunt's arms at the moment. You caused it! Even if you didn't like her, you can't beat your third aunt like this. Face, you, look at this look!"
Just after being reprimanded, it happened again. Lu Yan's patience is gone.
Seeing that he kept silent, the eldest princess said again: "Yes, the official atmosphere in Chang'an is not upright, and she likes to go to the Pingkangfang to sit and sit. I thought you should keep yourselves clean and wash yourselves..."
Lu Yan interrupted her directly, "What comes out of the mud and is not stained is Bailian, not me." This is his own style, and it has nothing to do with Chang'an's officialdom.
The eldest princess was choked by his words and became anxious, "Well, let's not talk about the marriage for the time being, Lu Yan told me, where is the girl in Huajie?"
Lu Yan touched the tip of his nose, pretended to think deeply, and then said, "Sincere and enthusiastic."
The author has something to say: Princess Long: This is definitely not my own.
