It was nearly the fifteenth day of August, and the moon was bright and clear, shining brightly on people.
Shen Wen found an open lakeshore, and stopped on a stone.
Years of drought, Mingjing Lake has shrunk a lot, and the lakeshore is wide and unobstructed.
Zhang Yunzheng came to Shen Wen's side, and without hesitation climbed onto a big rock next to him, and looked at the small lake under the moonlight side by side with Shen Wen.
It's been a long time since I saw Zhang Yunzheng, and now he's standing beside him, Shen Wen feels in a turmoil.
After a year of living in the mountains, Zhang Yunzheng seems to have grown taller again, with broad and strong shoulders. He is eighteen this year, and he has completely grown into a tall and handsome young man, exuding masculine courage. Under the moonlight, he looks like a statue, and Shen Wen dare not look at him.
She clearly felt the strangeness in her heart, like a sapling protruding from layers of rocks, something was about to grow. She was scared because she knew that if she let this trend go, then she would no longer be in control of her feelings, and she would be swept away by the flood, bumped and bumped along the way, pain was inevitable... She really didn't want something so arrogant It came out, but even with the rationality she had cultivated in watching for thousands of years, she couldn't stop a budding bud in emotion...
Zhang Yunzheng waited for a while, saw that Shen Wen was silent, and asked, "Why are you so stupid?"
Shen Wen looked at him, suppressed his heartbeat, and tried to say normally: "Who... who became stupid? You... why did you come back?"
Zhang Yunzheng rolled his eyes, "How stupid! When I come back, I will go to the border! Otherwise, what do you think I will do when I come back?!"
Shen Wen swallowed her spit: "Thank you... thank you."
Zhang Yunzheng twitched the corner of his mouth, and proudly handed over a small bag: "Your! A fool can become smarter if he eats it!" Shen Wen knew that his calculations in his heart were about to rot, and he really didn't need to become smarter anymore. But she likes to hear Zhang Yunzheng say that, as if she is really a fourteen-year-old girl, not an avenger full of conspiracy.
Shen Wen opened the small bag, and there were some dried fruits inside. Suddenly, Shen Wen felt sad: Now, Zhang Yunzheng is still so young and pure, with kindness from the heart, will he change? She was afraid—one day, Zhang Yunzheng would really grow up, become mature and smooth, start to weigh the pros and cons, and know how to choose. At that time, he no longer needs her plans, will he still treat her like this? Give her fabric, help her draw pictures, bring her back dried fruit, and send her to the border? Would he care that she was a thousand-year-old ghost? Will he look down on her? Would he mind if she had been married before? ... What men in this era like are ladies who are pure and obedient, but it is no longer possible for her to completely entrust her fate in a man's hands. Can Zhang Yunzheng accept this kind of dissociation? …
Like all people who are in love, Shen Wen began to worry about gains and losses timidly and inferiorly.
Zhang Yunzheng saw her biting the dried fruit with a sad face in the night, and said angrily, "What do you mean?! I made it! Is it that bad? My mother likes it very much. If you don't eat it, give it back to me!"
Shen Wen felt sweet in his heart, and finally found an entry point, "Stingy! Can I still ask for something back after giving it?"
Zhang Yunzheng's eyes widened: "I'm stingy?! I'm stingy?! Are you as stupid... a pig?! You'll get fatter if you keep going like this!"
Shen Wen said with dried fruit in his mouth, "I'm not fat anymore! Sister Wanniang said I'm fine now!"
Zhang Yunzheng looked her up and down as if he had just discovered the difference between Shen Wen.
Shen Wen blushed, turned his body slightly and said, "What are you looking at?"
Zhang Yunzheng sighed, "I've been walking for a long time, didn't you notice?"
Shen Wen is very sensitive and self-esteem now, and turned his nose to him: "I don't know how long you've been away! I don't think life is any different!" Shen Wen lied.
Zhang Yunzheng snorted, "I've thought of you!"
Shen Wen was stunned: "Really?" Maybe I should say that I thought about him too
Zhang Yunzheng nodded and said: "Really, once I was chased by wild boars in the mountains, I thought of you..."
Shen Wen was angry and funny, he hesitated for a moment between cursing and laughing, but he still smiled with his eyes crooked. Zhang Yunzheng was taken aback, and asked, "Why don't you say 'you bastard'?"
Shen Wen bit his lower lip and said: "'This bastard' is going to send me to the border, I can't offend him." What is it to say a few bad words? He came back all the way from the south to send himself to the border, this kind of affection is too heavy.
Zhang Yunzheng didn't buy it, and continued to work hard: "I want to accompany a pig or a fool to the border, which one are you?"
Shen Wen now knows what Zhang Yunzheng is doing, he left a hammer and right a stick, just to make her angry so that she can feel close! Shen Wen snorted, and said coquettishly: "Who is a pig! My sister Wanniang said that I am slim now."
Zhang Yunzheng clicked his tongue and said, "Don't believe these slanderous words, it's easy to forget your true colors."
Shen Wen said arrogantly: "Do you think I have a good temper and always want to make me angry? I won't be fooled!"
Zhang Yunzheng was a little depressed, glanced at Shen Wen, and whispered: "It's not fun!"
Shen Wen inhaled, "Okay! You bastard! Tell me about the south!"
Zhang Yunzheng cheered up immediately: "It's the swineherd! Do you understand? Escort the little fat pig to the border. Otherwise, a little stupid pig will definitely be eaten by the goblin."
Shen Wen laughed, the embarrassment from the first meeting was gone, Zhang Yunzheng whispered to Shen Wen what he said to his father, Shen Wen kept nodding in satisfaction, Zhang Yunzheng said generously: " If you have any requirements for going to the north, just tell me."
Shen Wen whispered: "We're going to go this way. We have to pretend to be refugees. The carriage is very shabby, but it needs to be strong. We have to send some bows and crossbows to the border as samples. You can't use horses to pull the cart. It's too expensive. You need to use Donkeys, mules, etc. have to be covered with mud, so they can’t look strong. Our clothes have to be ragged, like beggars, but we have to have warm cotton coats, hats and gloves, and warm boots. Because when we arrive At the border, I still want to go deep into the land of Beirong..."
"Hey!" Zhang Yunzheng raised his hand: "You said you were going to the border, but you didn't say you were going to Beirong!"
Shen Wen was surprised: "I didn't say? I probably forgot..."
Zhang Yunzheng was angry: "How could you forget such a big thing?!"
Shen Wen frowned: "Are you sure I didn't say it? Why do I feel that I said it? Didn't you forget it?"
Zhang Yunzheng was about to jump violently: "I will never forget what you said!"
Shen Wen waved his hands indiscriminately: "Oh, I have to go anyway, so the clothes should be good..."
Zhang Yunzheng gritted his teeth: "It's not about clothes! You're not crazy, are you? You're also in Beirong... Can this pig go there?"
Shen Wen smiled: "Stop irritating me! I have to go to this matter. When the time comes, I will bring my brother's soldiers, so you don't have to..."
Zhang Yunzheng said decisively: "Then our manor will not send you off! You can go all the way!"
Shen Wen blinked, Zhang Yunzheng looked up at the bright moon in the sky, Shen Wen thought for a while, then softened his tone and said: "Okay, let's go together when the time comes, okay?"
Zhang Yunzheng sniffed, but he was still very upset: "What else? Say it quickly! Don't be verbose."
Shen Wen said: "The bows and crossbows and manufacturing drawings for the border, the maze I drew, etc., those drawings must be brought."
Zhang Yunzheng was still sulking because Shen Wen was going to Beirong, and replied: "Do you think other people are also pig-headed? Do you need to say these words?"
Shen Wen said reminiscingly: "I think two carriages should be enough..."
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Four cars!"
Shen Wen asked: "Why?"
Zhang Yunzheng said as expected: "A poor family has a way of getting rich, you have to be more prepared."
Shen Wen said in an admiring tone: "After you went out, you really have experience."
Zhang Yunzheng looked at Shen Wen from the corner of his eyes: "You don't have to say good things, just say, what else?"
Shen Wen tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "It should be gone. You give me the address of the nunnery. After I leave the capital, you have to wait a few days for my brother and the others to come back, and make sure that there is no one there." After monitoring, go there and find me."
Zhang Yunzheng told Shen Wen's address, and said angrily, "Can you find it? You won't get lost, right?"
Shen Wen pouted: "My third brother is going to send me there! Don't show up when he is around, he looks like he is waiting for a chance to fight with you."
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Just fight! I'm still afraid of fighting?!"
Shen Wen hurriedly said: "No fights are allowed! Otherwise I will..."
Zhang Yunzheng asked: "Do you want to howl like a pig?"
Shen Wen glared at Zhang Yunzheng, Zhang Yunzheng got Shen Wen's full attention and shut up. Shen Wencai said again in a low voice: "Tell your father one more time that the communication network from here to the border that my third brother passed on a while ago must be in place, and it is necessary to find out how the prince and the others pass the news. , we can cut off their lines in the future.”
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Our mansion has always had a connection point between the north and the south, not as stupid as some mansions."
Shen Wen waved his fist: "It's fine if you bully me, and you still say bad things about our family?! Be careful and I will punish you! I have a lot of ideas."
Zhang Yunzheng snorted to Shen Wen: "So what? You dare not do it to me!"
Shen Wen was stunned as if struck by lightning, Zhang Yunzheng smiled wickedly at Shen Wen: "Am I not right? Little stupid pig, who do you bully if you don't bully?"
Shen Wen's heart was about to burst out of his chest, and he reluctantly said: "I... I have to go..." Turned around and ran, rushing back to the Hou Mansion without daring to turn back.
She jumped into the room, startled Su Wanniang, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
Shen Wen shook his head hurriedly: "It's nothing, it's just that we have decided on the temple we will go to in the future."
Su Wanniang was dubious, and helped Shen Wen undress and go to sleep. Shen Wen stared at the ceiling—Although Zhang Yunzheng likes to say bad things about people, he can often hit the nail on the head. He believed that he would never play tricks on him, which meant that he already knew that he had passed through his defensive circle and entered the safe zone. This is so unfair! While I was still hesitating, the other party had already come in in a big way! I don't even have a step to refuse!
Shen Wen was hot and cold for a while, not sure whether he was happy or worried. She really wanted to kick Zhang Yunzheng out of her heart and close the door quickly. But what happened? Why does she think this person is nice? ! She was delighted that Zhang Yunzheng was going to send herself to the border. But it was this kind of joy that made her question herself! Who is Zhang Yunzheng? An eighteen-year-old teenager! Although she is more mature than before, compared to her, she is simply a child! He has a poisonous tongue, he cares, he has a bad temper... But, he is sincere, he trusts himself, he has been helping himself, only in front of him, he can relax and truly experience the feeling of being young...
Shen Wen reprimanded herself in her heart: Don't be distracted now! Su Wanniang said at that time that she wouldn't think about these things if she didn't take revenge on her father. I also have many things to do now! Absolutely no distraction!
But there was a small voice, after the rational and severe teaching, said softly: I want... I want to love and be loved. I want to accept someone, to be accepted... This feeling is so warm, it can pass through the surface of the dispute and reach the bottom of my heart...
Shen Wen fell asleep in the struggle with herself, and she didn't come to a conclusion after all. She had an idea in the haze: I just love a little, just a little... If Zhang Yunzheng grows up, he becomes a sophisticated and profound woman. People, I just pulled away... because in this world, there is no one who understands the world better than me, and is more negative because of thoroughness. I really can't stand any scheming because I'm so dark...
----------------
Seeing that Shen Wen ran away again, Zhang Yunzheng was in a good mood, he didn't care that Shen Wen didn't formally leave, and happily went back to his house to sleep.
Marquis Pingyuan has been waiting for a long time, and several groups of people chased Zhang Yunzheng to the small courtyard, but they all went back to the mansion one after another, and reported to Marquis Pingyuan that a man in black had met the young master, but then disappeared with him. They are too fast! I can't catch up!
Marquis Pingyuan was pleased that Zhang Yunzheng's martial arts were so good, but also regretted that he had no way of knowing Zhang Yunzheng's whereabouts. Hearing that Zhang Yunzheng had returned, Marquis Pingyuan scolded many words related to small animals in a low voice before going to bed.
The next day, Zhang Yunzheng went to Ping Yuanhou and told Shen Wen about the North-South contact network. Marquis Pingyuan naturally guessed that Zhang Yunzheng must have met with the person behind the scenes of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion last night. Shen Zhuo had already sent word that he wanted to establish his own contact network and monitor the prince's ears. Not long after that, there was news that the prince asked to remove the postman. Ping Yuanhou immediately understood the meaning of this, and began to arrange the delivery personnel on the main road from the border to the capital. The two sides are fighting on this matter, and the prince's cleverness will inevitably turn into another stupid thing.
After hearing Zhang Yunzheng's question, Marquis Pingyuan said: "Go and tell that person that we are going to lay three lines of communication, but now there is a famine everywhere and it is too unstable, so we can't set up cards everywhere, or we will be robbed and killed." Yes. When the famine year is over, people will be available immediately. Moreover, we are now training homing pigeons, and there should be more than 50 pigeons in the next year, and there will be more in the next year. I used to lead troops in wars, so I naturally know the importance of information , let him rest assured."
Hearing his father's serious reply to Shen Wen, Zhang Yunzheng coughed and said vaguely: "Well, I will tell her."
Marquis Ping Yuan exhorted: "That man is as scheming as the sea, you have to listen to him..." The man in black last night could have such lightness kung fu, it seems that the man over there has capable people under his command.
Zhang Yunzheng raised his eyebrows: "Leave me alone!" Turning around and leaving, Ping Yuanhou was so angry that he twirled the jade ball vigorously for a long time.
Marquis Ping Yuan asked people to keep staring at Zhang Yunzheng, but in the following days, Zhang Yunzheng never went out again. He began to concentrate on preparing things for the long journey, and made many strange requests: the clothes should be ragged inside and out, but warm in the middle. The boots were also two layers of leather, ripped on the outside and buckskin on the inside. All three iron pots had to be broken at one corner, but they had to be good pots that wouldn't break...
As for the dry food they brought, they were even more particular about it, almost forcing the cook in the mansion into the house. Rice noodles are steamed into cakes, and fried sesame seeds are added to flatten them into thin slices, glutinous rice is beaten into rice cakes, and then cut into slices to dry, various dried meat and vegetables...
Marquis Pingyuan knew that he was going to the border, so he asked people to help him with all his strength. Seeing this scene, Mrs. Li knew that her son was about to go away again, so she began to feel sad. Listening to Zhang Yunzheng's various ideas and criticisms every day, instructing people to do it, is completely the doting posture of a loving mother who loses her life.
Zhang Yunjin really didn't like this cousin and didn't see him at all. Zhang Yunzhao has started to practice martial arts now, and he feels superior to others, seeing Zhang Yunzheng messing up his mother, he feels a little bit upset. So I went to provoke Zhang Yunzheng, met Zhang Yunzheng in the yard, and said to Zhang Yunzheng: "Hey! Who are you?! Did you ask my mother for something like this? You are too thick-skinned..."
Zhang Yunzheng was thinking about all kinds of things that he was going to bring along the way, and he was afraid that something would be left behind. Seeing that Zhang Yunzhao blocked his yelling, without saying a word, he threw Zhang Yunzhao down in front of his thigh with one hand, raised his hand and beat him fiercely. Zhang Yunzhao kicked his butt a few times, and said, "Remember! I'll call you Second Brother next time! Otherwise, I'll beat you up!"
Zhang Yunzhao was so angry that he went to find Marquis Pingyuan, who twirled the jade ball and sighed: "You just call him the second elder brother, and I didn't let you lose a piece of meat." Tears, I don't want to say more. Zhang Yunzhao went to Eunuch Gu angrily: "Master! I want to practice martial arts well! I will become a master in the future!"
Eunuch Gu looked at Zhang Yunzhao's slender arms and legs, frowned rarely, and said, "Don't make things difficult for yourself."
Although he suffered heavy blows, Zhang Yunzhao did not change his wish. From then on, he really worked hard to practice martial arts, and his body quickly became stronger. This is another story.
--------------------------
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the Pingyuan Hou's Mansion still sent a cart full of mooncakes, Shen Wen ate two, and asked Su Wanniang to bring a basket of mooncakes to Shi Helin and Duan Zeng.
When they arrived at Shi Helin's clinic, Su Wanniang first saluted Shi Helin and handed over the mooncakes. Shi Helin smiled and said, "Oh, the Hou Mansion is really too polite. Madam just sent someone to deliver a box of mooncakes, and you sent them again." coming."
Su Wanniang said with a smile: "Of course it should, our young lady has been saved by the doctors."
Shi Helin naturally said: "Where is me? It's my apprentice, apprentice! Come here, there are moon cakes again! This time it's for you."
Duan Zeng poked his head out from behind: "Don't always take other people's things! I won't eat it, it's too sweet! You can give it to others!"
Su Wanniang picked up a paper-wrapped mooncake and said, "Try it, this one is salty!"
Duan Zeng looked at Su Wanniang, who gave him a wink. Duan Zeng said: "Then you take it here, I'm busy!" He retracted his head.
Shi Helin blew his beard: "You're rude! You're rude! The Hou's family..."
Su Wanniang hurriedly said, "It's okay, I'll send it to him." She took the mooncakes and walked into the back hall, where Duan Zeng was sorting the herbs. Su Wanniang put down the moon cake and said: "This is delicious..." Pointing to the back with her finger.
Duan Zeng nodded, picked up the medicinal materials quickly, and said: "Oh, just in time, you go to Xiaoya's room with me, and I will show you his clothes, several of them are torn..." He took Su Wanniang to the back where they address.
They had just left when Su Chuanya came back from school. Shi Helin said, "Your sister has come and delivered mooncakes. Now it's time to go to your room to sew clothes for you."
Su Chuanya said happily: "Great, I'll go find her!" and ran to the backyard with brisk steps.
Su Wanniang and Duan Zeng entered the room where Su Chuanya and Duan Zeng lived. Duan Zengxu closed the door and said in a low voice, "Is that young lady of yours trying to make trouble again?"
Su Wanniang smiled: "What a trick! That's my lady! She's leaving the city soon, let you prepare."
Duan Zeng was excited: "Really? She's going out of the city?!" Su Wanniang hurriedly put her finger in front of her lips, but Su Chuanya, who had just rushed to the backyard, still heard the clip, and immediately slowed down and carefully walked to the door .
Duan supercharged his voice in a low voice: "When are we leaving?"
Su Wanniang also said in a low voice: "She will leave the capital first. I will come and tell you the date of her departure before she leaves. She should meet you ten to fifteen days later."
Duan Zeng said eagerly, "Where is it? How do you see me?"
Su Wanniang said: "A hundred miles west of Beijing, there is Luoxia Village, and there is an egret forest beside the village..."
Duan Zeng said longingly: "The name sounds so good! I can wait there all day!"
Su Wanniang smiled: "It doesn't have to be a day, just wait at noon every day. If it's too late, just wait an extra day or two."
Duan Zeng said: "Don't worry, I will wait until you come! Oh, you go too?"
Su Wanniang nodded and said, "Don't tell my brother yet, I'll say goodbye to him before I leave..."
Duan Zeng nodded hurriedly: "Of course, of course..."
Su Chuanya slowly crawled away, exited the backyard, and quickly ran to the front store. Seeing that Shi Helin was calling for pulse, she waited aside, scratching her head.
Shi Helin finished giving the pulse, prescribed a prescription, got up to send the patient away, and then turned to look at Su Chuanya: "Why are you so noisy?"
Su Chuanya looked left and right to see if there was no one there, blushed and leaned close to Shi Helin and whispered, "Brother Duan is leaving! It should be September or October!"
Shi Helin's eyes widened: "I can't! I've lent out all his money, and he doesn't have much money. Besides, it's a disaster year, if you go out, if you meet refugees, won't you be robbed?"
Su Chuanya stomped her feet anxiously: "He is going with the lady of the Hou's mansion! We will meet at the egret forest outside Luoxia village in Baili west of Beijing. Think about it, will the lady of the Hou's mansion go there alone? It must be Someone is protecting it!"
Shi Helin was terrified: "You want to elope?! Or with Miss Hou Fu?!"
Su Chuanya said resolutely: "Master! We must not let them succeed!"
Shi Helin twirled his beard vigorously, thinking nervously, with fine sweat oozing from his forehead. Su Chuanya asked anxiously: "Master, what are you thinking?"
Shi Helin said in a low voice: "Naturally, how did they ruin their itinerary!"
Su Chuanya jumped: "Master, if you prevent today, you can't prevent tomorrow! If you ruin his business, if he finds out, he will ignore us."
Shi Helin said worriedly: "Yes, what should I do then?"
Su Chuan Yalash and Lin's sleeves: "Of course I'm going with him!"
Shi Helin suddenly realized: "That's right! I always stop him and don't let him go, it's better to follow him! Okay, I'll get ready now! Xiaoya is really smart..."
Su Wanniang took some clothes from the back and went to the front hall, and unexpectedly found that Su Chuanya was sitting with Shi Helin very happily, pointing at the medical books. Su Wanniang asked in surprise: "Xiaoya, you know I'm here, why don't you go to the back to find me?" I?"
Su Chuanya raised her head and looked at Su Wanniang with a smile: "Waiting here is the same. Could it be that my sister won't leave if I go to find you?"
Su Wanniang was very strange when she heard this, and felt inexplicably sad. She felt uncomfortable at the thought of leaving Su Chuanya alone, so she smiled and pulled Su Chuanya: "Let's go, see my sister off."
Su Chuanya obediently followed Su Wanniang out of the front hall, Su Wanniang whispered to Su Chuanya: "You have to listen carefully to Mr. Shi, read more books, and don't cause trouble."
Su Chuanya raised her head and asked, "Don't you need to listen to brother Duan's words?"
Su Wanniang thought that Duan Zeng was going to go with Shen Wen, so she hesitated and said: "I still have to listen to Shi Langzhong and your elder brother."
Su Chuanya nodded vigorously: "Okay, I will definitely listen to both."
Su Wanniang looked at her younger brother, who was only a head shorter than herself, feeling relieved and sad, and said, "Xiaoya is ten years old, right? She is an older child, and can take care of herself."
Su Chuanya secretly hated: My sister is planning to leave her here alone without saying hello, so don't blame yourself for tossing about. He smiled and said, "But I'm still a child! What if I'm sick? What if I'm injured? My sister doesn't care about me?"
Su Wanniang's heart twitched, she blinked her eyes hard to avoid tears from coming out, she forced a smile and said, "How can I not care? Elder sister... will take care of you." When I go back, I need to tell Shen Wen, find someone to come and see Su Chuan from time to time elegant.
It must be entrusted to someone! Su Chuanya pouted secretly, but still smiled and said to Su Wanniang: "That's great, I knew my sister would not leave me alone!"
Su Wanniang was startled, and looked closely at Su Chuanya's eyes, seeing that Su Chuanya was staring at her blankly, as if she had other intentions, she moved her eyes away and said, "I... I'm going back first, and I'll see you when I'm free. .”
Su Chuanya nodded, and said as if she had discovered something: "Sister, you have something on your mind? What's the matter? If you have something, you will definitely tell me, right? You won't ignore me, will you? "
Su Wanniang was confused, and hurriedly said: "It's okay! Why did you ignore you? What are you thinking? Okay, don't be naughty." Saying goodbye in a hurry, got into the carriage and left.
Su Chuanya gritted her teeth and watched the carriage go away—hmph! Dare to deceive me? We are not finished!
--------------------
In the Hou's mansion, Shen Wen went to find the Yan family.
Yan Shi let Shen Wen in, with bright eyes: "You are going to be fourteen years old! Are you leaving soon? I can't wait!"
Shen Wen nodded and said, "Second sister-in-law can't wait to see second brother?"
Yan Shi clicked his tongue: "Of course! Does it need to be said?" She stroked her chest with her hands: "When you mention him like this, there will be a thud, do you hear it? It's like a drum!"
Shen Wen was once again defeated by Yan's "shamelessness", and sighed: "You went to the border this time, and there are men everywhere, do you think that the second brother is not so powerful?"
Yan said solemnly: "Of course it's amazing! How many people are around, your second brother is also the most."
Shen Wen was puzzled: "Which one?"
Yan smiled dreamily: "It's the one that I can't stand the most! As soon as I saw your second brother, I felt that there were no more men in the world! He was the only one in the world..."
Shen Wen raised his hand: "Okay, okay! I haven't reached the point yet! I shouldn't have listened to this..."
Yan pushed Shen Wen: "Don't be prudish! Among the sisters in our family, who didn't talk about this before Jiji? Otherwise, once Jiji, you get engaged before you know who you want, then you will be in trouble, and you will never be married in your life." I know how to live. Tell the second sister-in-law quickly, who do you like?"
Shen Wenxin said, don't say there is no, there is, how dare I tell you? As soon as you know it, doesn’t everyone know it? He gave Yan the address of that temple, and said, "Second sister-in-law, we have to talk about how we can cooperate when the time comes, so you can come with me..."
Shen Wen's 14th birthday was the same as the previous few years, spent in obscurity, neither invited friends nor invited a band. But at the dinner party on her birthday, the old lady's arrangement soon made Shen Wen's reputation spread throughout the capital again.
The dinner in the Hou's mansion is now a woman of all sexes plus three little furry children. Shen Zhuo has long been unable to bear the eye-catching "a little green among the red bushes", and started a stove alone in his own yard.
After dinner, the old lady took a sip of tea and said, "Wen'er is fourteen, you can live in the temple, pray for the drought, and get a good reputation."
Yang frowned: "Mother! Wen'er is a girl, and she has done nothing wrong, how can she go to the temple?"
The old lady sighed: "Have you forgotten those things from the previous years? Do you think everyone else has forgotten too?"
Yang remembered that when Shen Wen was so young, his reputation was damaged by others, followed by the empress, and then the fourth princess. Recently, some people wanted to deceive Shen Wen out of the mansion. He frowns and doesn't speak.
With a cautious look, Shen Wen looked left at the old lady and right at Mrs. Yang.
Seeing that Mrs. Yang didn't respond, the old lady said angrily, "It's been a drought for several years now, and people are praying for rain everywhere. Let her live in the temple and pray for rain and blessings, and she will get a good reputation." ? When I reach Jiji next year, I will be able to find a good family."
Yang said with some disapproval: "If something happens to a girl who lives in the temple, is that okay?"
Yan rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Mother, it's okay to say that my sister went to live in the temple for a while. People say that a girl who has lived in the temple can marry a good husband! You see, this shouldn't be Is it on me?"
Who doesn't like to praise his son, Yang smiled. Yan went on to say: "How about I go live with my sister? Anyway, I'm fine staying at home, and I can... be a companion with my sister when I go outside."
Yang sighed: "If there is a safe temple, it's not impossible..."
Yan hurriedly said: "The place I went to is very tight, ordinary people can't go there, it's quiet and comfortable, and ordinary people don't know it!"
Yang laughed: "Where is this place?"
Yan nodded: "Yes! It's in the mountains to the southwest of the capital—oh, you can't just say the name of this place, there are all women's relatives there, it would be bad if people knew about it! Even in our mansion, we can't Tell me clearly! It’s not good to spread the word. Mom, let me arrange this! I know the aunt there, and after we’ve made contact, I’ll take my sister to live for a while.”
Yang hesitated, looking at everyone, Liu naturally looked at the nose, nose and mouth, and didn't talk to each other. Shen Xiang frowned, not knowing what to say.
Yang asked Shen Wen: "Are you going to the temple?"
Shen Wen thought for a while: "It doesn't matter, mother can figure it out."
Yan secretly scolded Shen Wen for pretending, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, the second sister-in-law is taking you, just to go to Qingxiu, the air in the mountains is good, and the longer you grow, the more beautiful you will be."
The old lady made a decision: "That's it. The second daughter-in-law went to talk to the aunt in the temple, and let their aunt go with them next month. Let the third son take someone to see him all the way..."
Yan said hurriedly: "You must be a reliable person, and you can't reveal the place."
The old lady nodded and said: "Okay, let Lao Guan follow, he has been in the mansion for a long time."
This matter was settled like this. From the beginning to the end, Shen Wen didn't say a few words, and he looked like a passive lamb who was driven to the temple.
