The fourth prince's heart was beating loudly, that girl was Su Wanniang. I haven't seen her for so long, she looks more and more beautiful. The fourth prince immediately looked at Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng. Zhang Yunming was looking at the boy and said to Zhang Yunzheng: "I know that girl, she is by Miss Shen's side, so this child should be the youngest son of their family. He is only so old and he just goes around like this." Run? Their family really dare to let go, the little brother is almost eight years old, mother won't let him out this time... "
When Zhang Yunzheng heard that it was the young son of the Shen family, he remembered that Shen Wen had mentioned that the crown prince was going to murder her younger brother, so he immediately took a liking to the little black boy, and waved, "Come here, little black bean!" It seems that he didn't notice the back The fourth prince breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Qiang turned his face away, and when he saw someone answering him, he immediately gritted his teeth and ran over with his hands open. Before he arrived, everyone could see that the bib on his chest was soaked with saliva.
Just as Zhang Yunming smiled and said: "It's so wet, is it raining?" Shen Qiang rushed into his arms with all his might, pushed Zhang Yunming backwards, and hurriedly put his elbows on the ground so that he didn't fall to the ground. Zhang Yunming yelled, and just about to raise his hand to grab Shen Qiang, Shen Qiang quickly got up from him, using all four feet together, threw himself on the fourth prince, grabbed his shoulders, and raised his mouth to the fourth prince's face , in the astonishment that the fourth prince didn't react, he kissed the fourth prince generously, leaving half of the fourth prince's face drooling.
Su Wanniang, who had just arrived, gasped and bent over, squatting down, apologizing while smiling, and grabbed Shen Qiang's arm with one hand, trying to pull him off the fourth prince, subconsciously pulled out the handkerchief from her bosom with the other hand, and Wiping the fourth prince's face, wiped off Shen Qiang's saliva for him.
All this happened too fast, before the fourth prince's face turned red, Shen Qiang had already got off the fourth prince's body, broke free from Su Wanniang's hand, and attacked the target he hadn't conquered yet - Zhang Yunzheng. Seeing what happened to the other two people, Zhang Yunzheng was already prepared. When Shen Qiang rushed forward, he grabbed his armpits, picked him up and put him on his shoulders, and stood up from the ground.
Shen Qiang grew taller suddenly, and shouted with excitement. Zhang Yunzheng lifted Shen Qiang up again, let him sit on his neck with his legs apart, held Shen Qiang's legs with both hands, and started to run in zigzag strides. Shen Qiang hugged Zhang Yunzheng's head and screamed louder with joy.
Zhang Yunming knew the nature of Zhang Yunzheng's child, and was afraid that he would throw Shen Qiang down, so he quickly got up too, followed him and kept saying, "Be careful!"
Su Wanniang, who was beside the fourth prince, was about to follow, when the fourth prince said softly: "Master Zhang is a cautious person, he won't let children get into trouble, you can rest."
Su Wanniang turned her face and smiled at the fourth prince: "It's okay, running with him can also strengthen your body."
She ran over just now, her body was exuding the unique fragrance of a young girl, her breath was like blue, her face was pale and red, her eyes were so clear that it reflected the fourth prince's face, the fourth prince blushed, eyes half down, and asked in a low voice: "You how have you been?"
But Su Wanniang suddenly remembered what Shen Wen asked her to pass on to Shen Jian yesterday—to give the third prince the opportunity to suggest that the emperor buy grain this summer to prevent the farmers from being hurt by the cheap grain, so she returned to the fourth prince, knelt down and rested, whisper Said: "If you have a chance, just tell the third prince that last year was a big crop, and this year is another bumper year. The price of grain is low, and farmers have no labor costs. But bumper years cannot be continuous. You should buy grain to help farmers and prepare for disasters." Years, kill two birds with one stone, why not do it."
The fourth prince asked in a low voice: "Is this your master's intention?"
Su Wanniang glanced at the fourth prince, and the fourth prince hurriedly said, "If your master doesn't believe me, you don't have to say anything. Just pay tribute to him and say that I admire his chess skills."
Su Wanniang felt relieved, knowing that the fourth prince did not guess that it was Shen Wen, and must have thought that his master was a man, just like Ji Wenzhao. She smiled at the fourth prince, and said in a low voice: "My master has calculated that next year there will be a four-year drought followed by a severe flood, but you don't need to say anything about it. I just want you to know that if you ask the third prince to make this proposal, you should There's nothing wrong with that."
Facing Su Wanniang's smile, the fourth prince's thoughts flew wildly: he likes Su Wanniang or call him son, so that he can remember how they were when they first met... There must be an expert hidden in Zhenbeihou's mansion, Instructing the stupid and stupid Second Miss and her maid to do things... Su Wanniang wouldn't have anything to do with that tall man, would she? Such a stunning woman, smart and vigilant, who wouldn't like it? …
The fourth prince stared at Su Wanniang obsessively. Su Wanniang blushed slightly from the stare, lowered her eyes and coughed lightly. The fourth prince woke up suddenly, and he blushed, he quickly lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, I will go and tell brother three."
Su Wanniang hummed, and was about to get up to chase after Zhang Yunzheng and the others who had gone far away. Before leaving, she said to the fourth prince: "Don't sit for too long, you need to move around more in spring, go over there and have a look, the flowers are in full bloom. That's great."
The fourth prince hurriedly said, "Wait!"
Su Wanniang had already half stood up, heard the fourth prince's words and squatted down again, waiting for the fourth prince to speak, the fourth prince blushed, took out the jade hairpin from his sleeve, and handed it to Su Wanniang.
No matter how dull Su Wanniang was, she understood now, her face blushed again, remembering what she said to persuade Shen Xiang back then, it actually fell on her now! The fourth prince is still disabled on the surface, but he is still a prince. There will be concubines and concubines in the future. I am a servant girl, so naturally I can't be the main concubine, so why not become a side concubine? Isn't that a concubine? What did your father teach you as a family? She was also really not interested in sharing her husband's marriage with others, so she lowered her head and whispered, "No... I can't."
At this moment, the fourth prince's neck was red, he stretched out his hand, and said in a low voice: "Do you still remember that you saw me here three years ago? At that time, you bumped me... and hurt me..."
It was only then that Su Wanniang realized that when she was looking at the Moon Pavilion just now, she only thought of Ji Wenzhao, but she never thought that it was the first time she met the Fourth Prince at Xiangye Temple three years ago, that kind boy who saw her crying... She felt that I was sorry for the fourth prince, I didn't think of him just now, when I heard his words, I hurriedly raised my head and asked: "Really?"
The fourth prince blushed and nodded, "I've been in pain for several days when I go back, and I'm still worried about you. I don't know if you will be in trouble..."
Su Wanniang pursed her lips and smiled, then lowered her head, and the Fourth Prince sent the hairpin forward again: "Take it, it's...a kind of apology to me."
Su Wanniang burst out laughing, looked up at the fourth prince, her eyes sparkled, and the fourth prince was in a trance for a while, but Su Wanniang suppressed her smile, and said in a tone of teaching Su Chuanya: "Keep it well, it must be your mother who stayed here again." Right? In the future, if you want to give it to your princess, you can’t give it away casually.”
The fourth prince said stubbornly: "I didn't just send you away..." Besides, I want you to be the princess.
Su Wanniang said with a straight face: "My father taught me that in our Su family, men should not be servants, and women should not be concubines. The son is the prince, and the marriage in the future must be of the same family. You shouldn't have anything to do with the young master." After saying that, he bowed and was about to leave. The fourth prince's original rosy face turned pale. Su Wanniang saw it at a glance, felt pity in her heart, and sighed: "We are destined for nothing. People. Don't think about it, you won't feel bad."
The fourth prince looked at Su Wanniang, frowned slightly, held the jade hairpin tightly and said: "This is for you, I will keep it for you. Among all living beings, you are the only one who bumped into me here, why are you and I missed?"
Su Wanniang shook her head helplessly at the fourth prince, and was about to walk away, but the fourth prince continued: "I'll just think about that! It will still be very uncomfortable!"
Su Wanniang laughed again, and turned around and said, "You can really become good friends with my younger brother, and you know how to play tricks." She had bright eyes and a brisk tone, and after she finished speaking, she turned and chased after Shen Qiang and the others. She did yoga at night while waiting for Shen Wen, her waist and limbs were as soft as grass, and her steps were as light as floating. The fourth prince looked at her back, and felt as if his chest was being cut down by a knife. The pain was unbearable, but it was so deep that there was no possibility of recovery.
Su Wanniang finally caught up with Zhang Yunzheng who followed Shen Qiang to turn left and run right. She clapped her hands and took Shen Qiang off Zhang Yunzheng's shoulders. She thanked Zhang Yunzheng and pulled Shen Qiang into the tent.
Zhang Yunzheng looked in Su Wanniang's direction, wanting to see where she was going, maybe he could see the location of the little ghost girl who knew how to cheat money through the gap. She is so hateful, I will definitely quarrel with her when I meet her!
Seeing Zhang Yunzheng's eyes chasing Su Wanniang, Zhang Yunming thought that he couldn't move his eyes away when he saw a pretty girl, so he tried to persuade him: "Although she is pretty, you can't stare at her like that."
Zhang Yunzheng came back to his senses, and asked puzzledly: "Is she good-looking?"
Zhang Yunming nodded and said: "It's really beautiful, it's stunning. The second Miss Shen put her by her side, obviously to divert people's attention from her." Zhang Yunming felt that he was deceived by Shen Wen again, and felt resentful in his heart , although he himself is a liar every day.
Zhang Yunzheng shook his head and said, "I didn't notice." That little ghost girl had a round face, slender eyes, curved when she smiled, and her lips were like flower petals... so ugly! Zhang Yunzheng said coldly: "There are no good-looking women!"
Zhang Yunming grabbed Zhang Yunzheng's shoulders, dragged him around, and said as he walked, "Well, I have to tell you, marrying a wife and virtue, marrying a concubine and sex..."
Zhang Yunzheng said impatiently: "Leave me alone! You go tell your mother that she is lustless, and see if she will spare you!"
Zhang Yunming patted Zhang Yunzheng: "Disobedient? Who brought you out to play?"
Zhang Yunzheng slapped it back with his backhand: "Want to fight?!" Zhang Yunming jumped away, the two of them slapped me and I slapped you, and ran after each other in the grassland and forest.
The fourth prince stared at the two brothers in a daze, and suddenly said to the waiter Ding who stood silently behind him pretending to be nothing: "You help me up, I have to walk around."
Seeing that the fourth prince finally spoke, Ding Nei secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Just now, he thought that the fourth prince would suffocate.
The fourth prince limped and walked on the grass in a grand manner for a long time, and even picked a large bouquet of flowers, which Ding Neishi hugged, and he didn't look uncomfortable at all.
What the fourth prince was thinking was that the Second Young Master Zhang was playing chess with him just now. He obviously had no chance of winning, but he still insisted on playing chess every step of the way until the last moment. He is about the same age as himself, and has such a serious heart. Su Wanniang just didn't pick up her hairpin, so what is that? It's just a move, maybe it was raised a few times, but this game has just begun, who said there is no chance of winning? The fourth prince was deeply inspired by Zhang Yunzheng, and immediately recovered his mentality, not to mention, he was even more optimistic than before.
On the top of the small mountain, Shen Jian, the Third Prince and Young Master Ye finally reached the highest point. They stood together and looked at the clouds and smoke in the capital city in the distance. The other young masters fell behind in twos and threes.
At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the fields are verdant and green, and several flowers are still blooming. The sun began to heat up, and everyone was sweating profusely on their faces. The cool breeze from the top of the mountain is very refreshing.
Shen Jianyao pointed to the golden place among the distant houses, smiled and said to the third prince: "Look, that should be the imperial palace, your home."
The third prince sneered: "Home? Prison is about the same."
Shen Jian was startled, he hurriedly looked back and forth, left and right, and looked at Young Master Ye vigilantly.
The third prince said to Shen Jian: "Master Ye and I have known each other for a long time, he is fine."
Mr. Ye was the oldest among them, he sighed and shook his head and said, "Why can't you change your temper?"
The third prince curled his lips: "Change what? If I change it again, I will become a woman."
Shen Jian smiled and said, "Don't underestimate women, women are also great." He thought of Shen Wen, who played with them all at a young age.
The third prince sighed: "I'm not even as good as a woman?"
Young Master Ye punched him on the upper arm: "What's wrong with you today? Climbing high and looking far away, you should be in a good mood, but you're full of complaints."
The third prince shook his head: "I just feel that staying here is really boring. I don't know when I will be able to leave the capital."
Shen Jian recalled the dream that Shen Wen said. In the future, the third prince did not get the fief, and failed to go north with reinforcements. When he retreated, he was shot to death by the emperor's elite soldiers together with his third brother and Mr. Zhang. Suddenly, his heart was filled with anger and his face was gloomy. down.
Young Master Ye was surprised and looked at Shen Jian. This Second Young Master Shen has always been good-tempered and always smiling. Why is he suddenly unhappy
Shen Jian seemed to ask unintentionally: "Have you ever thought about what to do if the emperor never grants you a fief?"
The third prince was depressed and silent for a while, then suddenly said to Shen Jian: "Can I be your son-in-law?"
Young Master Ye couldn't hold back anymore, he burst out laughing, and Shen Jian couldn't help but smile wryly. The third prince looked at them unhappily.
Shen Jian laughed. Seeing the seriousness of the third prince, he thought that he might be serious. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "How long have we known each other? I'm sure. But, this is not what we can talk about." Forget it." He is more than half a year older than the third prince, similar in age, and usually easy to talk to.
The third prince was finally a little embarrassed, and asked in a low voice: "Do you think... your father will agree?"
Shen Jian sighed, he is eighteen years old this year, he has an understanding of the overall situation of the government, and he also knows his father's principles. Father just wanted to guard the border, and would never want to get involved in disputes like fighting for reserves. It's a pity, even if my father didn't want to, it was too late now, the prince would not let their family go. Shen Jian also understood the reason why Shen Wen didn't tell his father: if his father didn't believe her, held the idea of loyalty to the emperor, and didn't want to resist the heir appointed by the emperor, then they would have no chance of survival.
"My father always listens to the emperor. Your marriage is up to the emperor to decide." Shen Jian solemnly said to the third prince.
Eldest Young Master Ye next to him gave Shen Jian an elbow: "Your family must be useless, why would the emperor point him to an old father-in-law with a strong army? If my family is not bad, at least he is a civil servant. By the way, my family also has a few good-looking sisters..."
The third prince looked into the distance and said stubbornly, "But I just want to be the son-in-law of the Marquis of Zhenbei." This was his mother's will, and it was also his wish.
Shen Jian and Mr. Ye glanced at each other, and then looked around vigilantly at the same time. Mr. Ye approached the third prince and whispered, "This is not something that can be said casually!"
The third prince didn't look back at him, but said: "You are my friends, even you can't tell me, so do I still have friends?"
Mr. Ye sighed: "Well, you can only tell us, others can't! I told you to think carefully before speaking since I was a child. After so many years, why are you going back more and more?!"
The third prince sighed deeply: "Now I understand what my mother and concubine said - it's been so many years, it's really boring! I have to think three times to say a sentence, I have to look at people's eyes at any time, and I can suffocate a person to death. Sometimes I really want to leave Far away, far away, and never come back.”
Shen Jian was secretly worried: The third prince obviously wanted to avoid the struggle in the palace, he didn't seem like someone who had the throne in mind. This point, I have to mention it to Shen Wen in the future.
Young Master Ye comforted: "You were born in the royal family, so you have to be so careful, accept your fate."
Shen Jian also smiled and said: "We are still young, who knows the future? Don't worry."
Mr. Ye suddenly turned his face to look at Shen Jian, and said in a low voice and sternly: "You don't need me to teach you?! It's better to say less about such things that make people think about it!"
Shen Jian pushed Young Master Ye: "Doesn't this make him happy? It's not for others. Just stop chewing your tongue."
The third prince sighed deeply, and said to Shen Jian: "I don't even want to think about the future, and I don't want to think about what I can do. Isn't this already destined? If I don't leave, it will be nothing but letting him kill me , or let me murder siblings like him. You have known me for so long, tell me, what kind of person am I?"
Shen Jian's worry was confirmed once again—the third prince didn't want to fight the prince! Shen Jian remembered that in the ending Shen Wen said, even though the third prince had the military power, he did not force the palace, did not kill the prince, but actually went north to fight against the enemy. He said a little depressed: "I know you are a person who values affection, but what if you die if you don't do anything? In Winter Hunting, it's so obvious."
The third prince said: "To tell you the truth, sometimes I think it's good to die. It's just a man. It's always a pity not to do some upright things before death. But if I'm like him, I'll break it every day." The fingers are plotting how to harm others, I would rather die."
Mr. Ye shook his head: "How many times have I told you, don't give up on yourself like this! Before others kill you, you want to die yourself. You must have the responsibility given to you by God to come to this world alive. And the purpose is to be worthy of my life only after I finish it..."
Shen Jian laughed, and punched Mr. Ye: "You're still talking about me?! Listen, what are you instigating?"
Young Master Ye raised his eyebrows: "I'm reminding him not to think wildly from the perspective of being a human being, unlike you, the meaning is vague!"
Shen Jian said: "Why am I being vague? Just let him wait patiently for the title."
Young Master Ye narrowed his eyes, "It's the words 'who knows the future'." The crown prince should be enthroned as emperor. Is there anyone who doesn't know about such a future
Shen Jian smiled and said, "Isn't that what I just said?"
The third prince turned around and said to Shen Jian: "I like to hear what you said."
Young Master Ye pushed Shen Jian back: "Listen! You gave him wrong expectations, what will happen in the future? Do you dare to say?"
Shen Jian said with a smile: "I don't dare to say what will happen in the future, but this year's weather is good, I dare say that it will definitely be another year of maturity."
Young Master Ye clicked his tongue: "Don't talk about him!"
Shen Jian lowered his voice: "Grains are cheap when they are ripe, and cheapness hurts farmers. The third prince should suggest to the emperor to buy grains and rice with gold and silver in order to raise the market price."
Young Master Ye became serious: "Are you making a suggestion?"
Shen Jian smiled: "My family is a military official, how can I have any advice? You can help polish it."
The third prince asked: "Why do you want to propose this to the emperor? Isn't it a good thing to be familiar with?"
Mr. Ye frowned and explained: "If the price of grain is too low, and the farmers can't get much in exchange for a year's harvest, wouldn't that be a loss of money? If there was a loan, they might lose their home and land."
Shen Jian said again: "Besides, how can there be years of abundance without famine? In case there will be a few years of famine in the future, we can also prepare for famine by storing more rice."
Young Master Ye said: "The imperial court's taxes and grains have already filled the granaries in various places in these years, and it is really superfluous to buy grain."
Shen Jian said: "Even if the third prince mentioned it, it doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't do it. In the future, there will be a famine year, and when there will be no amount of food, everyone will remember that he had this discussion."
Young Master Ye thought about it and said to the third prince: "Then I will help you think of words, you can find a chance to say it."
The third prince looked disinterested: "I seldom see my father now, if he wants to see me, I'll mention it, otherwise, I'm too lazy to ask to see him."
Young Master Ye patted the third prince's shoulder: "Cheer up! You're only eighteen years old, why are you so depressed? If you have a chance, show it, just like you did before."
The third prince shook his head slightly: "When my concubine mother was around, what I did would make her happy. Now that she's gone, I don't want to do anything, I just want to ride a horse or something."
Shen Jian sighed: "Go show your face, maybe the emperor will remember to give you a fief or something?" Isn't this coaxing a child
The third prince really became interested: "Really?"
Shen Jian nodded against his will: "Really." Of course it is impossible.
"Okay." The third prince said reluctantly, not caring at all.
Shen Jian roared in his heart: What should I do? ! How can this depressed man fight against the prince
Mr. Ye obviously saw this, and said: "You resigned from your husband, and you are lazy on the surface, which is what you should do. But secretly, you can't give up studying, don't waste your studies. The list of books I gave you in the past, you Have you read it all?"
The third prince shook his head and said: "I really don't want to read anything. Every time I read those words, I feel that they are talking nonsense! What about benevolence and morality, what about self-cultivation, look at the history, isn't it that whoever has power can kill ? Whoever has soldiers will win the world? How many good people will be rewarded? It’s so boring! I’m too lazy to read those useless things!”
Shen Jian frowned, looked at Mr. Ye, and Mr. Ye also sighed, and said: "I know, your mother and concubine passed away, which made you sad..."
The third prince shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm sad, it's that I'm bored, and I'm bored watching everything!"
Shen Jian naturally didn't know that later generations called this state of mind disillusionment, and this kind of emotion as depression. He only knew that the third prince is cynical and has no ambitions. He comforted in a low voice: "This feeling will definitely pass. Endure."
Mr. Ye said: "This is why people have to observe filial piety for three years. It is because of the death of their parents. People are so sad that they are really unable to do government affairs. It has not been three years since your mother passed away, so you are naturally uncomfortable. After this period of time, It will be better."
The third prince looked into the distance and said absently: "Okay, just wait."
The sons behind and some servants arrived one after another, and they all came around them, expressing emotion towards the distance, some even quoted ancient poems, and said some common sayings like "I will look at the small mountains at the top of Lingling" . Knowing that their words would eventually reach the prince's ears, Shen Jian and Mr. Ye didn't say a word. The third prince was obviously not in a good mood, and soon turned around and went down the mountain.
They came down from the mountain, and the people below had already arranged a long table. A row of clay ovens boiled tea over charcoal fire, and in the distance, several chefs from various provinces were cooking the main course for lunch.
When everyone saw them returning from climbing the mountain, they held a banquet. The masters washed up one after another, and the servants of each family put the snacks and cold food they brought on the table. The third prince took the chief seat, the fourth prince and Young Master Ye took the second seats, and Shen Jian took the seat opposite.
Seeing that everyone was seated, the third prince said to open the table, and after everyone saluted, they began to pass the wine and dishes. Many people eat very early in order to leave the house early, and they are already hungry after hiking. Now that the table is full of fine wine and food, I naturally have a big appetite, and the atmosphere at the table is very lively.
Shen Jian asked Shen Qiang to be taken over, saying that he could not be allowed to grow up among girls, but had to be with men. Ever since Shen Qiang sat on Zhang Yunzheng's shoulder, he felt that it was a good place, and whenever he saw anyone, he climbed on his shoulder. No one would let him ride up to the neck, so they passed him to the next one. Shen Qiang was carried around by people in turn, drooling everywhere with joy.
The third prince knew that this was the fourth son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, so he naturally liked it very much. He took Shen Qiang from others and let him stand on his lap. As soon as Shen Qiang stood firm, he raised his leg high and wanted to ride on his shoulder. The third prince laughed, and put Shen Qiang on his shoulder like a bag. Shen Qiang turned his head down, screamed in excitement, and kicked his legs wildly in the air. The third prince shunned Shen Qiang back. Shen Qiang's face was flushed, his eyes were frighteningly bright, and he rushed forward to kiss the third prince. The third prince smiled and dodged while stretching his long arms, passing Shen Qiang to the fourth prince.
The fourth prince does not have the arm strength of the third prince. After taking over Shen Qiang, he was hugged by Shen Qiang, successfully climbed up to the fourth prince's face again, kissed his face, and the fourth prince remembered that Su Wanniang used a handkerchief to himself After wiping his face, his face turned red, making everyone laugh.
Shen Qiang's small black eyes stared straight at the fourth prince, who hugged him in front of his face and asked softly, "You don't know everything, do you?"
Shen Qiang yelled "Ah" loudly, like a big parrot, more saliva dripped down, and wet the newly changed bib again.
Across the curtain, the women's side also held a banquet, but it was much quieter than this side. The fifth princess took the main seat, and Shen Xiang and Zhang Yunjin sat on both sides. The girls ate carefully and elegantly. There was only the occasional sound of dishes at the table, and it was very quiet.
On the outskirts of spring, in the mountains and forests, birds are singing. Among the grass, bees and butterflies dance. In such a place full of wildness, the people's spirits were particularly good. After eating for an hour, some people were drunk, some laughed, some talked loudly, and some took the flute and flute they had brought and played and sang.
On the hillside in the distance, there were two people standing, an old Taoist priest and a child also wearing a Taoist uniform. The old Taoist squinted his eyes and looked at the group of happy people. The child next to him asked, "Master, why don't we go there?"
The old Taoist sighed: "I only now understand why the hexagram requires that you must leave at that time, just to see this scene now."
The child looked at the large land surrounded by beautiful flowers in the distance: "Those people look good?"
The old Taoist Nianxu shook his head: "The hidden dragon is in the abyss, and the evil stars shine together, and there are many civil and military stars mixed in it. It is really a rare grand occasion."
The child opened his mouth wide: "Why didn't I see anything!"
The old Taoist said: "There are black and purple aura mixed with colorful clouds and miasma, and there is also a light blue light that goes straight to the sky. This is the aura that kills the sky! This person brought the evil star to the world to help the real dragon. No wonder I couldn’t even calculate it more than ten years ago—this should be a young man, only twelve years old. Since his birth, the world has turned upside down.”
The child opened his eyes vigorously: "You are not a few years older than me! How can a person defy the sky?"
The old Taoist said with emotion: "People who defy the sky have the hatred and resentment between heaven and earth, and can go against it for thousands of years. Such people are perverse, indistinguishable from good and evil, and unpredictable. In order to achieve their goals, they can turn the world upside down and turn the tide. "
The child was happy: "Let's go and have a look!"
The old Taoist shook his head: "No, not only can we not go there, but we have to hide. The evil of the evil star is no small matter. If you commit one of them, you will suffer ten times the damage. Those who defy the sky will not be able to get close. It's unreasonable to act. You and I are both Fulgen's shallow people, so don't get involved in right and wrong."
The child curled his lips: "It's just so boring to watch from a distance. Will they have something delicious? Master will definitely be invited over there when the master walks there. Master can tell people's fortunes or something. I'm hungry. "
The old Taoist reprimanded the child: "Listen! It's because of you that I didn't go there! I won't cause trouble if I go, but you child can't see anything with naked eyes. If you disturb one of them, Even if it’s just a wrong sentence, it can lead to illness at the slightest, and life at the worst, it’s better to stay far away!”
The child pouted vigorously, and was reluctantly dragged away by the old Taoist.
When the sun was westward, everyone packed up their bags, prepared horses and carts, said goodbye one after another, and began to return to the capital.
Zhang Yunzheng didn't see Shen Wen for a day, he couldn't quarrel, he was a bit disappointed, he followed Zhang Yunming wordlessly all the way on horseback, his eyes were always aiming at the convoy of Zhenbeihou Mansion unwillingly.
Shen Wen didn't want to see Zhang Yunzheng at all, she took a good night's sleep, eating on the grass was also very comfortable, and she was very satisfied with this day's spring outing.
The third prince finally plucked up his courage, rode his horse to the team of Marquis of Zhenbei on the road, found Shen Jian and told them about their schedule for riding together, then turned around and pointed at Shen who was riding on the horse with a veil. Xiang passed by, without waiting for Shen Xiang to greet him, he hurriedly said: "You wait for me!" Without listening to Shen Xiang's answer, he kicked his horse and rode back to his motorcade.
Shen Jian slowed down the horse, waited for Shen Xiang to ride up, and asked in a low voice: "What did he say to you just now?"
Shen Xiang said angrily: "Who knows? I didn't hear it!"
Shen Jian looked at Shen Xiang suspiciously, Shen Xiang's face behind the red veil was also flushed, Shen Jian naturally couldn't see clearly, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Shen Jian slowed down his horse, and gradually left the crowd in Zhenbeihou's mansion, and went to the convoy of Pingyuanhou behind. Seeing this, Zhang Yunming hurriedly urged the horse forward, riding side by side with Shen Jian, the two smiled tacitly, Shen Jian Jian said, "Master Zhang seems to be in a good mood."
Zhang Yunming smiled: "I will go to the south soon, so I am naturally in a good mood."
Shen Jian guessed that he was going to buy food, and it seemed that his sister's suggestion was really adopted, so he smiled and said, "Then I wish Mr. Zhang a fruitful return."
Zhang Yunming said with a chuckle, "Second Master Shen is still going to Guanyi Pavilion now?"
Shen Jian knew that this was something he wanted to give him, so he said, "I'll go the day after tomorrow."
Zhang Yunming said with a smile: "I really like that place, maybe I should visit it before I leave the city." The two smiled and saluted, and Shen Jian urged the horse to leave.
On the way back to the city, their long team of chariots and horses met a small group of traveling merchants. The other party gave way, waited on the roadside fork, and waited for them to pass by before going on the road again.
Most of them were in a good mood after the spring outing, and no one noticed these travelers. Even Shen Wen, who had previous life experience, didn't know that one of those disguised as businessmen was leaving for Beirong to contact Tugu Khan with the prince's secret letter.
