Rebirth of Weak Daughter of the General's Family

Chapter 71-80

Chapter 71

Yan said, "You have to help me build a wine cellar for making wine."

Mrs. Yan San chuckled: "You can really make me happy! Our five generations of wine brewing, these years, my third uncle and I ran back and forth so why not it is that there are wine cellars everywhere? How difficult is it to build a wine cellar for you? So dying to live"

Yan wiped away his tears, and pointed to Shen Wen and said, "This wine cellar must be built according to what my sister-in-law said, otherwise I won't be able to go to the border. The money is also given by sister-in-law, so you must help me. This is busy!"

Mrs. Yan San looked at Shen Wen in surprise: "This sister-in-law! How old is she?"

Shen Wen smiled and saluted: "Third aunt, I have a recipe for wine that I read from the book. It is a secret recipe. I can only let the family make it, because I am afraid that others will not care about it and do it well."

undefinedMrs. Yan San asked with some suspicion, "I don't know whether it can be done from the book. Tell me, I will listen and see if it can be done."

Shen Wen nodded, and before arriving at the case, he studied ink and carefully drew the distilling utensils and the process of making wine.

In ancient China, the usual brewed wine was only 20 degrees, but distillable wines could easily reach more than 60 degrees and could burn.

Some documents say that there was distilled liquor in the pre-Qin Dynasty, and there are vague records in the Song Dynasty, but the official liquor classics and several monographs do not mention distilled liquor. The popularity of distilled liquor was in the Yuan Dynasty, and its popularity was extremely fast because of the simple process of making liquor. During this period, most people drank ordinary brewed wine.

Distilled spirits are also available abroad. The distilled spirits made by Europeans in ancient times were not for drinking, but for burning.

Mrs. Yan San comes from a family of wine making, and after listening to Shen Wen's description and explanation, she knows that it is completely feasible. You only need to find someone to build the vessels to be used for distillation, or pottery or copper, or even wooden barrels, according to Shen Wen's requirements. It's time to make wine. The problem in the middle is food. The wine is strong, I must have more food...

As if knowing Mrs. Yan's thoughts, Shen Wen said: "I will provide all the food needed, and the third aunt doesn't need to worry."

Mrs. Yan San hesitated slightly and said: "If this wine is made, some people will drink it." This wine is known to be strong when it is heard, but some people will like it.

Shen Wen shook his head and said, "Third aunt, don't worry about this now. I need all the wine made. From then on, I will pay for the costs of the third aunt and the third uncle. Six years later, this will be the cure for the wine. Aunt Fang can use it at will, but during this period, please don't use this method in other places."

Mrs. Yan San hurriedly said: "This is natural! This is my secret recipe. How can I steal it in six years and don't have to..."

Shen Wen shook his hand and said: "Third aunt, you are welcome. I believe it. If the third aunt thinks that this wine can be recognized by the people in six years, she can use this method in her own wine cellar, but now I invite the third aunt. Promise me three things."

Mrs. Yan San thought for a while, looked at Yan's tearful eyes, and said, "You tell me, I will listen and see if I can do it."

Shen Wen solemnly said: "First, this matter must be kept secret, and the third uncle cannot divulge the news to other people, except for the third uncle of course."

Mrs. Yan San thought that if this was a secret recipe, Shen Wen certainly didn't want others to know. He nodded and said, "This makes sense."

Shen Wen said again: "Secondly, no one should know that this wine cellar has anything to do with Zhenbeihou Mansion."

Mrs. Yan San also understands this truth: the status of the Zhenbei Houfu is too special. If the military commander's house goes public to make money, it will inevitably be suspicious. No wonder this lady wants to open the wine cellar so tortuously. She nodded again: "I also understand this truth."

Shen Wen added: "Thirdly, I can choose the location of the wine making. I can't go wrong. The helpers and butlers needed in the wine cellar are all provided by a friend of mine. Those people are very reliable. Spreading gossip will not cause trouble. Please be considerate of the third uncle."

Mrs. Yan San thought: This is the other side's other-handed secrecy measure. Without outside manpower, there will be fewer opportunities for leaks.

She couldn't help but look at Shen Wen carefully: she couldn't see that this somewhat fat little girl was so delicate in her mind that she didn't leave any loopholes. It seems that the other party chose him because of trust. Speaking of benefits, let's not talk about the rewards. If this wine really has a place to sell in the future, learning this secret recipe will give you another trade route.

Mrs. Yan San finally nodded slowly and said, "Well, I'll take it all."

Shen Wen smiled and said in a salute: "Thank you for your third aunt. I know that third aunt is the best. Second sister-in-law said that this must be done by third aunt, and no one else can do it. Third uncle, please ask third aunt to persuade him. Up."

Mrs. Yan San waved his hand: "He doesn't care about these things! That's a person who only spends money but doesn't make money. Every day, he is "traveling thousands of miles", reading "ten thousand scrolls", and telling him about money, oops, his I don't want to listen! The nose is so high that it is up to the sky."

Shen Wen asked worriedly: "Then can he agree to the third aunt to build this wine cellar?"

Mrs. Yan San waved his handkerchief and replied: "He wants to go around! Look at his sullen head and not talking. Actually, I know that every time we come out, he is secretly happy! He is very happy to go to a new place, oops. This way, I write this and that, and I can use several pens. You see how good people are! You don't have to worry about it at all, just take care of the mountains and the water!"

Both Yan and Shen Wen laughed, and Yan said in a low voice, "My third uncle was very obedient since he was a child, but he didn't like to read books. My grandfather always said that he was doing nothing but seeking improvement. At the beginning, I wanted to find him. A young lady went to urge him, but once he went to the third aunt's tavern and drank the sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed from her house. When he got drunk, he made a lot of noise and wanted to marry another girl's daughter. He was caught by my grandfather and hit the board. He woke up with alcohol but said that for the sake of the wife's reputation, he must go to propose marriage..."

Shen Wen understands that Yan Jing's background as a court official, how could he let his third son marry the merchant's daughter? This was obviously a shameless trick by the seemingly dull Yan Sanguan.

Mrs. Yan San waved her handkerchief again: "The Yan family disagrees, and my father is not happy, saying that this man has no virtue after drinking and must not marry him. Then your third uncle asked him to carry him to my house. Below, you say you are going to die there, do you think there is such a shameless person?"

Shen Wen asked: "The third uncle has seen the third uncle before, right?"

Mrs. Yan San sighed: "I used to check the wine cellar for my father, sometimes walking outside. Once encountered heavy rain, I saw a person walking hurrying in the rain on the road, being watered like cats and dogs falling into the water, and there was no shelter around him. He was asked to get on one of our carriages at the place where he was. I didn't see what he looked like. Who knew that man was your third uncle. I didn't understand at the beginning: What's wrong with this man? Cheng, he was about to die, and he was about to get married, and I didn't understand until later."

Shen Wen smiled and asked: "For what?"

Mrs. Yan San's flat mouth: "For our carriage!"

Both Yan Shi and Shen Wen laughed, and Mrs. Yan San explained: "The time he heard my servant say that they followed my father and brother every day, there were more than 30 carriages in the house, so he was moved!"

Seeing Shen Wen smiling and shaking her head, Mrs. Yan San insisted: "It's true. There are five carriages and horses in the dowry my father gave me. I am still wondering, why did I give these things to my mother? Said it was your third uncle's suggestion that he wanted a few carriages to walk around with me in the future. What! He wanted to go everywhere and used me as an excuse!" Mrs. Yan San waved the handkerchief again angrily.

Shen Wen and Yan Shi laughed again, and Shen Wen asked again: "If you build this wine cellar, you will probably live there for a long time at the beginning, but the third aunt will go home often."

It turned out that Mrs. Yan San, who had always been smiling, showed some embarrassment for the first time.

Yan's whispered answer for Mrs. Yan San: "Well, it's a good thing that my third aunt doesn't go back often. My grandmother..."

Shen Wen thought how fast he was, and he immediately understood: Although Yan San insisted on marrying Mrs. Yan San, his mother certainly didn't like this merchant girl from a brewing family. Yan San and his wife have been floating outside for so many years, is it not a kind of avoidance?

Wen Xing hurriedly said: "Then I will ask the third aunt for everything. I'll go back first, so that the third aunt and the second sister-in-law will not disturb the third aunt and the second sister-in-law. Oh, the third aunt, I can't say that this recipe was given by me. Uncle asked, if it's the second wife. Even after six years, don't mention my name."

Mrs. Yan San was a little puzzled, and Yan's shook her arm: "Third aunt, my sister-in-law is afraid that she will calculate, and her husband will not like it in the future!"

Mrs. Yan San suddenly said: "Yes! But I think your heavenly court is full and round, you look like a noblewoman, you must have a good marriage!"

Shen Wen pretended to cover his face and said, "Third aunt, you know to tease me!" Then he asked where Mrs. Yan San lived, and knew that he was in Yan's house, so he left and took Su Wanniang with him.

In the room, Mrs. Yan San was still a little puzzled. She looked at Yan Shi and said, "Why do I think there is something weird in this..."

Yan tightly took Madam Yan's hand and said, "Aunt, you have loved me the most in these years. Now, even if you do me a favor, build this wine cellar. Just remember, this method is an ancient secret technique. Don't let others know. When building those wine-making vessels, you have to make different parts in different places, and then group them together."

Mrs. Yan San smiled: "You are also a calculation! It's rare that your husband doesn't care so much. Well, in order to let you go to the border to reunite with your husband, I will naturally help you."

The Yan family finally relied on Mrs. Yan San happily and said: "Thank you aunt, if it weren't for the aunt's teaching me for so many years, how could I get such a good marriage and my aunt will help me this time, and I will be able to live with my husband forever."

Mrs. Yan San felt that the excuse that the Yan family could not go to the border checkpoint without building a wine cellar was a bit far-fetched, but the person concerned was so determined.

Mrs. Yan San whispered: "Actually, after your husband leaves, you can go back to your natal house and go to the border from your natal house. I see your mother-in-law today with a guilty conscience, and I won't stop you..."

Yan can imagine that if Yang heard this now, he would add a few more gray hairs, and smiled bitterly, holding Mrs. Yan's arm: "Aunt! I won't be able to do that until the wine cellar is built."

Mrs. Yan San's mouth was flat, but she didn't say anything.

-----------------------------------

That night, Shen Wen went to Zhang Yunming's yard. The room was brightly lit. Shen Wen knocked on the door. Inside Zhang Yunming shouted "Come in", Shen Wen pushed the door in, and saw Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng carrying a huge Eight Treasures Frame to block the secret room wall.

She came often, and she was a regular customer, and went to the table to study ink. Zhang Yunming placed the furniture and said, "It's all set inside. If you go in, you can go in by yourself."

Shen Wen said: "I'm not working today to talk about the wine cellar." She pulled up a pen and drew a picture, listening to Zhang Yunzheng scolding Zhang Yunming: "Look! Let's take a good look. If you don't listen, take a look! This is over the line, and the other section won't fit in for a while!"

Zhang Yunming said: "Then let's go see the other side."

Zhang Yunzheng's angry voice: "How to saw a board over there! You can only flatten this side and saw these corners off for one point!"

Zhang Yunming: "Okay, okay..."

Zhang Yunzheng: "What's okay! I'll do it this time! You fool!"

Zhang Yunming: "Who is stupid! I am your brother, don't you understand! You have to respect your brother!"

Zhang Yunzheng: "I want to fight!"...

During their quarrel, Shen Wen drew a map and wrote the address, and said loudly: "My second sister-in-law's third aunt will make wine. She and her husband went to Beijing yesterday. This is where they live. Your people can do it. In the past, we negotiated related matters. This is the location of the wine cellar and the detailed map leading there."

Zhang Yunming asked: "That place is remote"

Shen Wen nodded: "I'm about to enter the mountains, but I must choose there. Oh, since you are going to build a wine cellar, your people can build a thick tile kiln next to those wine tanks and water tanks. It's not so particular, it should be very easy."

Zhang Yunzheng was upset because Shen Wen didn't greet him when he came in, frowning and asked: "Why is it built there?"

Shen Wen replied patiently with the children: "Because your father will be trapped in the siege of Beirong only a hundred miles away and die in battle. If you choose the wrong place, don't say it is my fault. "

The two brothers put down the furniture at the same time and walked over. Shen Wen clapped his hands and said, "I have to go back today, see you next time!" After speaking, he slipped out.

Zhang Yunming picked up the picture drawn by Shen Wen and said to Zhang Yunzheng: "I have read the name of this mountain range, but I have never heard of this place."

Zhang Yunzheng pointed to a corner of the lake and said, "Look, this is Lianghu. She is really going to rob the grain from the lake and bring it ashore, and then to the wine cellar."

Zhang Yunming nodded: "In this case, the wine cellar will have to be equipped with carts and horses." He sighed: "This little fat duck is really ruthless. Just let go of that. Don't say that our family is rich, even if we are not. This wine cellar was built for her. What kind of scheming is this!"

Zhang Yunzheng gritted his teeth and said, "That little devil! You know that you are fooling people!"

Zhang Yunming squinted at Zhang Yunzheng: "You can stay away from her! Looking for someone in the future is to look for a mother, gentle and virtuous..."

Zhang Yunzheng interrupted: "You don't care! You are only a few years older, come and teach me!"

Zhang Yunming folded the map and put it in his arms, and said: "A few years old and older are counted! You are stunned, don't fall into the well!"

Zhang Yunzheng snorted: "Who would be so stupid"

Zhang Yunming tilted his neck: "I think you will! That dried fruit and clothes..."

Zhang Yunzheng slammed his fist, Zhang Yunming had expected it a long time ago, and got out of the way, and the two of them fled around the house, turned off the lights, and went back to the house.

When he arrived at the mansion, Zhang Yunming asked him to find Song Yao and said that he would wake up if he was asleep, but Song Yao was still not asleep and was chatting in Heping Yuanhou. The young man said to let both of them go over.

When they arrived at the main hall, Zhang Yunming took out the map and handed it to Ping Yuanhou, saying, "This is the location of the wine cellar, and a kiln with shochu tanks and water tanks will be built next to it. The brewers have entered Beijing, our people Go and talk as soon as possible."

Hou Ping Yuan took it, frowned and looked at it for a while, then handed it to Song Yao, "I know how he chose such a place without a village or a village" in this mountainous area.

Zhang Yunming hesitated and said, "She said... Father will die in a civil war in that place..."

Song Yao took the picture. Hearing this, he immediately got up to the front of the case, laid the picture flat, looked carefully, and said, "General, please give me a big picture of this area."

Ping Yuanhou stood up, reached a shelf, pulled her hand, and the shelf opened silently, revealing a secret door on the wall inside. Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng glanced at each other, and both read what each other meant: Look at what they have made!

Ping Yuanhou took out a large roll of maps, opened it on the case, and pressed the corners with a paperweight. Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng surrounded him, and Song Yao sighed, "The picture this man gave you is so accurate! Look, he painted this area, the direction of these mountains, this river, this lake... but he painted it well. More detailed, these tortuous roads are not on this big picture."

Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng were watching Shen Wen painting on the spot, and at this time they looked at each other again, it was hard to hide the horror in their eyes.

Ping Yuan Hou frowned and looked at the big picture, and asked, "Tell me again, the man said how I died."

Zhang Yunming carefully recalled the specific details that Shen Wen had said, and said slowly: "She said that Bei Rong is known as a one-million-dollar army, but in fact 500,000 people are crushing the territory. Shen Jiajun's entire army is destroyed, Zhenbeihou and Shen Da The two sons and sons died in battle. Bei Rong drove straight in, and his father invited soldiers. The emperor allowed him, but there was no military needs. His mother sold the dowry of the family property and bought food and grass weapons for his father. His father took more than 20,000 people to fight the enemy. With Bei Rong When they encountered it, they fell into a heavy siege and died on the battlefield."

Ping Yuanhou looked at Tu and nodded slowly, and said, "I really started to believe him."

Song Yao's hand trembled a little, and he pointed to the mountainous area on the picture and said, "The general must be there to get there."

Zhang Yunzheng asked anxiously: "Why!"

Song Yao pointed to the map and explained: "If Bei Rong really comes over, this mountain area will be the last barrier to resist them. After passing here, there is a plain of Pingchuan, and the cavalry of Bei Rong is unmatched, and they can take the capital directly. The general must have rushed to the mountains over there and used the mountains to stop Bei Rong, but he did not have time. When he got there, he encountered the Bei Rong army coming out of the mountain and was immediately surrounded."

Zhang Yunzheng said angrily: "I'm sure that the prince delayed the military plane!"

Song Yao gritted his teeth and said: "Otherwise, Madam doesn't have to use all his furniture to support the general's expedition! The traitor has misled the country!" His always gentle face became distorted, and the veins burst out.

Zhang Yunming said to Ping Yuanhou: "Father, I will personally arrange matters related to this wine cellar."

Song Yao said, "I'll go with the grandson."

Ping Yuanhou nodded: "Okay, you happen to be familiar with the terrain over there. It seems that the man meant that there is still a battle to be fought over there."

Song Yao also nodded and said, "This shows that the Border Pass will not stop all Bei Rong."

Zhang Yunming blurted out: "Could the Shen Jiajun still be annihilated?"

Ping Yuanhou shook his head: "Not necessarily. He probably didn't want the Shen Jiajun to suffer too many casualties, so he let Bei Rong enter the country."

Song Yao inhaled: "That's too cruel!"

Zhang Yunzheng frowned and said, "It definitely makes sense for her to do it so cruelly!"

Song Yao said, "He asked your father to meet the enemy!"

Zhang Yunzheng said firmly: "Since she is protecting Shen Jiajun, she will definitely protect my father too! Otherwise, why would she build this wine cellar!"

Ping Yuan Hou stood tall and said: "I don't need anyone to guard me! It's nothing to face the enemy. I haven't fought for a long time, and I really want to go to the battlefield again. As a military commander, I naturally want Ma Ge..."

Zhang Yunming interrupted Ping Yuanhou's lyrical saying: "I will meet with the brewer tomorrow!"

Song Yao shook his head: "It's still me."

Zhang Yunming said: "It's okay. Ask about the things you want for wine, and this place must be built to dig a cellar and prepare a cart."

Song Yao hummed: "After talking with the Yan family, you can make a list."

Zhang Yunzheng said to Zhang Yunming gloomily: "You are gone, the furniture in the secret room over there is not finished yet."

Zhang Yunming winked at the shelf that Ping Yuanhou had just opened, and said, "You let Dad help you."

Hou Pingyuan asked: "What are you tossing about?"

Zhang Yunming said: "Make a secret room in the yard I bought. That little... that person sometimes has to go there and do something. Now the walls are built, but the outside furniture is always the wrong size."

Ping Yuan Hou frowned: "This matter is so confidential, why don't you ask me first how can you just ask someone to build a wall!"

Zhang Yunming hurriedly said: "We built the wall..." Zhang Yunzheng hummed, and Zhang Yunming changed his mouth and pointed out Zhang Yunzheng: "He built it..."

Ping Yuan Hou looked at Zhang Yunzheng and laughed: "You kid build the wall"

Zhang Yunzheng stared unhappily: "What are you laughing at! I'll learn it soon, it's not difficult! I don't have to kill him if I find someone to do it."

Ping Yuan Hou laughed: "If you learn how to build walls, then you can continue to learn how to make furniture!"

Zhang Yunming said hurriedly: "The furniture was given the size and asked my mother to find someone to beat it, but it was shipped and the size was wrong. We have to saw it..."

This time even Song Yao laughed: "The two princes are separated like a mountain. How can it be so easy for me to take someone to take a look."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "No, she said that we can only build it and not let others go."

Song Yao pointed to the secret door over there and said, "People make things for generals. They have been around for many years, so they must be reliable."

Zhang Yunzheng was still very stubborn, shook his head and said, "She said that it is crucial to our future life and death, and I don't want outsiders to go."

Ping Yuanhou nodded: "If this is the case, then you can measure it again. This time, give Master Song the size and buy another set of furniture."

Song Yao said, "It's okay. The furniture in the secret room is different from the usual one, and some places have to be left empty."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "No wonder our furniture can't get in!"

Ping Yuanhou and Song Yao couldn't help but laugh again. Song Yao said to Zhang Yunzheng, "Don't worry, it will be fine if it is typed this time."

Zhang Yunzheng had to nod his head and agreed, Zhang Yunming took him to Ping Yuanhou and said goodnight, before retiring.

The next day, someone from Yan's house in Beijing's Yan Mansion came to visit Yan San and his wife. The two parties talked about co-organizing the wine cellar, set the money and the action steps, and quietly prepared separately. Yan San and his wife set off to go home. Zhang Yunming and Song Yao left Beijing. Zhang Yunzheng took away the unsuitable furniture and waited for new furniture every day.

------------------------------

In June, Shen Jian invited Shen Zhuo, Shen Xiang and Shen Wen to the yard, as he told his younger brothers and sisters before leaving. Having said everything, Shen Xiang left first, and Shen Zhuo and Shen Wen stayed behind. Yan sent Shen Xiang to the courtyard gate, stayed there, and joked with several maids.

When Shen Jian saw this, he closed the door of the house and turned around and said, "Sister, I let my grandmother listen to you, and she agreed."

Shen Wen knew that Shen Jian was the eldest man in the family after all. He came out and said to his grandmother that he was far more convincing than himself, and thanked Shen Jian sweetly: "Second brother is thoughtful..."

Shen Jian raised his hand to stop: "What else is important to you, just say it."

Shen Zhuo smiled gleefully and winked at Shen Wen and said, "Second brother no longer eats this set, but I still eat it."

Shen Wenbai glanced at him, serious, and said to Shen Jian: "You see, the drought has already occurred, and the court will cut the military salary and force his father to reduce the army in the next year. Brother, those laid-off soldiers cannot leave the border. ."

Shen Jian nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise we will not have enough manpower if we fight together in the future."

Shen Wen said: "It's best to let them stay in Yancheng to serve as... the film police, as the future generations say, are like the chief, managing a community. You must be very familiar with the people under your jurisdiction. When the war begins, the other party will send it. A spy can't easily move into the city."

Shen Jian agreed: "Okay, I will discuss the matter with my eldest brother, and my father should agree. Little sister, my eldest brother and I are the border affairs. Pingyuan Hou Mansion is also a military commander. We don't have any of us among the civil servants of the imperial court, isn't it? Should I get in touch?"

Shen Wen shook his head and said: "I dare not easily find civilian officials. There are too many factions among them, and they look down on each. Whoever finds it offends others. At the end of this matter, it is a melee, relying on real swords and guns. And tactics."

Shen Jian was not relieved: "How can we say, we should also have a response from the court official, what happened to Xu Chundao who the prince at Dongshou wanted to kill"

Shen Zhuo replied: "I sometimes go to see that Xu Chundao. He is not as drunk as before, but he is always slouched and looks useless."

Shen Wen hesitated: "I still feel uncomfortable. I don't know why, so I just want to wait."

Shen Jian nodded and said: "If you feel uncomfortable, don't force it." Shen Wen is a person who has seen the Palace of the Hades, and feels naturally beyond ordinary.

Shen Zhuo smiled and said, "That's right, because following him, I got an idea." He stopped and looked at the two people with an expression of "I'm smart". Shen Jian gave him a push: "Say it!"

Shen Zhuo said hurriedly: "We can't go into the palace to listen to the wall, but we can listen to the side of the staff! These days I always pretend to be outside the palace gate and wait. The prince who comes out the latest is the most used. . In the future, I will chase them home when I have time to see what they do at home. Moreover, their homes must have far fewer guards than in the palace, and some homes have no guards at all. I don't believe that all their ideas are Take it in the palace, and they don't breathe in advance, chat or something."

Shen Wen nodded and said: "This is a good idea! You don't need to do it alone. Tell Mr. Zhang that a few more people will stare at them. In the future, we must find their schedule for transporting grain and iron."

Shen Jian said: "To operate these things, it will definitely require the cooperation of many people. To transport food, there must be carts and horses. You can just stare at anyone in the staff to find carts and horses to catch clues. Ironware, the most convenient. It's the iron-making shop or the imperial court's armory..."

Shen Zhuo was shocked: "What! How dare they!"

Shen Wen nodded his head: "Yes! In this way, you don't have to go to the shop to collect ironware. It's eye-catching, just scrap the weapons."

Shen Zhuo slowed down and said, "That would actually be easier. How many people can manage the weapons depot."

Shen Wen said: "Well, you have to discuss with Master Zhang, Ping Yuan Hou's news is definitely better than us."

Shen Zhuo curled his lips: "Discuss everything with him, now he is proud of it."

Shen Wen laughed: "You got along with him, and it doesn't hurt." She remembered that she had told Zhang Yunming about Arabic numerals, so she said to Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo: "I will write you a series of numbers. Some strokes." Then I taught the numbers to Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo.

Having seen these weird symbols, Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo are now completely convinced by Shen Wen. No woman in her boudoir can have such knowledge, and Shen Wen is indeed a person of adventure.

The three of them talked about some details and wished each other good wishes before they separated.

------------------------------------

On the ninth day of June, it is easy to travel, worship, pray... auspicious days, Shen Jian leaves Beijing.

Yang started crying the night before. In the morning, his face was pale, his eyes were swollen, and he was a little confused. As a mother, this kind of pain is really unbearable.

Although Shen Jian was also sad, he had many things to do in his heart. The future of this family and Shen Jiajun had to rely on his brothers to fight for the future, and the emotions were not as sad as the Yang family.

Because it is summer, Shen Jian will set off very early, hitting the tip at noon, and then the sun will be weaker before rushing. The family said goodbye to Shen Jian in the lobby before dawn. When everyone was bidding farewell, someone reported that the third prince had arrived and they would also send Shen Jian farewell.

If it were in the past, the old lady still had some taboos, and now she knew everything clearly in her heart, she would generously ask the three princes to come in, and then let the female relatives say goodbye to Shen Jian and leave.

Shen Xiang walked away, and Shen Wen knew that she was definitely going to send Shen Jian out of the city with Shen Zhuo. When everyone looked at, Shen Wen could only cry and salute Shen Jian, and Shen Jian whispered: "Sister, take care. "Shen Wen cried and nodded.

Although Yan was in tears, he had a stubborn expression on his face. When he was saluting, he suddenly leaned into Shen Jian's ear and said something, and Shen Jian blushed a little. Shen Wen thought to himself that it must be shameful again.

They all left first. The old lady and Yang waited until the third prince arrived. After the ceremony, they thanked the third prince before retreating into the back hall.

The three princes and Shen Jian are about the same age, between the ages of nineteen and twenty. When Shen Yi left, he was still a little ignorant, only to say goodbye to the mansion.

In the past two years, he has become more and more aware of what his mother meant for him to get married with Zhenbeihou Mansion: Only by making good contact with Zhenbeihou can there be a way to survive. Concubine Chen's family was normal. He grew up in the imperial palace. After Mr. Gu left, he didn't even have a reliable **** by his side, no foreign aid, no money, and no connections. If he hadn't had a floor with the princes of Houfu in the north of town under the guidance of his mother People in the palace didn't dare to underestimate him, probably he died silently in the palace like the second emperor brother and the fifth emperor brother, or became disabled like the fourth emperor brother. Therefore, this time Shen Jian is going to the border, he will naturally come to see him off, and he will be sent outside the city.

It stands to reason that the three princes are also old and should be married. But there is no queen in the palace, and no one is in charge of his marriage. And before the Shen Xiang he wanted to marry, he didn't dare to open this mouth rashly. The prince was afraid that the three princes would get married and have children, so naturally they would not mention it. Since the death of his mother, the three princes have never been so close to the emperor as they were when they were children. How could the emperor not feel that he would not take the initiative to care about his marriage. So everything went to waste, and the three princes became a three-no person without marriage, land, or title.

As soon as he entered the front door of Zhenbeihou's Mansion, the third prince's eyes widened, like this to increase the chance of seeing the red figure, but when he went to the lobby, he saw the old lady and the Yang family, but did not see Shen Xiang. .

The third prince then left the Hou Mansion with Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo. Seeing that Shen Jian was about to bow, the third prince said: "I will send you out of the city."

Shen Jian wanted to decline, and the third prince said: "We should have been sent out of the city as long as we have known each other."

Shen Jian didn't fight anymore. Everyone got on the horse, and when the third prince turned around, he saw a veiled man among the team, and his heart lightened, and he immediately felt that the faint sunshine in the early morning was shining brightly.

When they arrived at the city gate, the gate was opened. As soon as they left the city, Shen Jian said to the third prince: "Don't send it away. This is considered out of the city. Go back quickly."

The third prince looked at the verdant mountains outside the city, took a deep breath, and said, "I really want to go with you!"

Shen Zhuo behind smiled: "Someday we might have a chance to really go out of the city together and ride the battlefield!"

Shen Jian turned his head and glanced at Shen Zhuo reproachfully, but the third prince nodded and said, "One day, I will die on the battlefield."

Shen Jian scolded: "What are you talking about!" They stayed for a long time, and the three princes insisted not to let them call themselves His Royal Highness. The result was always you, you and me.

The three princes have broad shoulders and a straight body. He immediately looked at Shen Jian and said: "We have been learning martial arts since we were young, dignified men, and we have to do some indomitable things in order to be worthy of this life."

Shen Jian nodded to the three princes and said: "With your words, we are good friends."

The three princes laughed: "Then let's run the horse again"

Shen Jian turned around and said to Shen Zhuo: "You follow, we are waiting for you in front." After finishing speaking, he signaled to the three princes, and the two rushed the horses out of the line, along the road with no one in the early morning, and rode the horses.

They ran to a pavilion on the side of the road five miles away in one breath, slowed down the horses, and walked slowly, got off the horses in front of the pavilion, got off the horses, stood in the pavilion, and waited for the convoy behind.

The three princes looked at a poem engraved on the pillar in the pavilion, and said with emotion: "This is the place where people often see off! You see, this sentence: So far, I hope that the sky and the sun will never change from now on... and , The king's journey is a day away, and my heart is so sorrowful...oh, here are two words: return early!"

He turned his head to look at Shen Jian, and smiled reluctantly: "Just take these words and encourage him."

Shen Jian nodded: "Okay, with your good words, I will definitely come back."

The third prince said sadly: "Your brother has left, you have to go too. I don't have many friends anymore."

Shen Jian said: "Although my third brother is younger, but he is quick-minded, you can discuss with him if you have something." The three brothers are friends with the third prince. Is there a clearer expression than this?

The two went on gossiping and watched the brigade approaching the pavilion.

When they arrived, they discovered that another team was behind the team. Shen Zhuo led the leader of the team and said to Shen Jian: "Second brother, these people are trade craftsmen. They want to go to the north. The road is not peaceful. Knowing that it is the motorcade of the second son of Zhenbei Hou, I want to go with my second brother. What should I do with my second brother"

This was arranged a long time ago. Shen Jian pretended to think for a while, then said: "Go together, let's go together, just don't go too slow, we can't always wait for people."

The person who took the lead repeatedly said: "No, no, please rest assured, my son, we are all young and strong, and we won't be too slow." Those who go to work hard to make a lot of money are naturally young and middle-aged people with poor health. , Are staying at home.

While we were talking, a man dressed as a crying beggar walked over, snotting and tearing, and said, "Noble man! Can you take me there too?"

This is Zhang Ding. Shen Jian frowned vigorously so as not to laugh, and asked, "Who are you who are going to the border, the bitter and cold place, not ordinary people can go."

Zhang Ding said sadly: "The villain Zhang Ding, I don't want to go either! But I have gambled all my family property. Now those creditors are looking for me everywhere. They said that if they caught me, they would chop me off. Limbs! Son! Help!" He knelt to the ground, howling and crying.

The third prince shook his head and sighed: "This man..."

Shen Jian also sighed: "Okay, well, don't abuse yourself so much, just follow me."

Zhang Ding heard this and cried and said, "My son is so kind and virtuous, I will never be able to repay..."

Shen Jian was afraid that he had acted vigorously, so he said hurriedly: "Okay." He looked at Wang Zhi who was walking by his side: "You help him clean up and take him away."

Wang Zhi blinked and wanted to say that this person was of unknown origin, but then he thought that this might have been sent over there, so he didn't block the way of others, so he agreed and signaled Zhang Ding to follow him back to the team.

Shen Jian bid farewell to the three princes, and bid farewell to the veiled Shen Xiang who walked up to Shen Zhuohe. The sun rose, fearing that it was too hot, he stopped talking, and instructed the horse team to set off. He also got on the horse. He waved back to several people several times and followed the horse team away.

The third prince and others could not see the shadow of the horse team, so they mounted their horses and rode slowly into the city. The third prince and Shen Zhuo walked side by side, wishing to have eyes on the back of his head to see what happened to Shen Xiang who was riding behind him.

Unfortunately, I kept entering the city gate to say goodbye to Shen Zhuo, and the third prince did not find a chance to talk to Shen Xiang. Shen Xiang hid far away and didn't move forward at all.

The three princes sent Shen Jian off to the outside of the city. Miss Shen also followed the matter on horseback. Naturally, different people reported to the emperor and prince in detail.

Chapter 72

During this time, the emperor liked Xue Meiren from Jiangnan very much. Xue Meiren comes from the family of the richest in the south of the Yangtze River. She is seventeen years old. She has exquisite piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy since she was young, and her appearance is extremely beautiful. With her elegant talk and good guesswork, the emperor feels as happy as a spring breeze. Raised to the imperial concubine grade.

Now the Queen's seat is vacant, and the harem has long since entered a melee for this seat: somebody was poisoned to death, somebody fell into the lake...The emperor was very impatient, and said: Whoever has a prince, who can be the queen Bit. He has learned a lesson from his past experience. If a childless queen is brought up now, then the harem should not even think about having children. Therefore, the concubines temporarily stopped killing each other and tried hard to let the emperor spend the night in his palace. Everyone tried their best to please, and the emperor was considered even rain and dew, but until now, no one can become pregnant.

The emperor felt that Xue Meiren had the potential to be a competent queen. She was not as vicious as the Jia family. She was more educated and beautiful than the Jia family. She had the demeanor of Chen Guifei. Although the emperor thought of Chen Guifei, she couldn't help being a little angry.

The emperor wanted Xue Meiren to be pregnant, so he went to Xue Meiren a few times. Someone in the palace is jealous. I heard that Xue Meiren's diet has also been tested out, because she is cautious, so she didn't follow the Tao. But every time the emperor went, Xue Meiren greeted him warmly, and never mentioned anything unpleasant to him, let alone crying to him. The emperor admired this kind of generosity, and felt that Xue Meiren was not vulgar.

That day is the time to go to Xue Meiren. The emperor was in a good mood after he came down. He went to the study to hear that the third prince had sent the second son out of the city, and there was Miss Shen who was with him, so he smiled faintly. When he got down, he said to Grandpa Sun: "The kid's trick, I'll see how long he can hold on." The emperor decides the marriage. What is the use of you toss around there. If the emperor doesn't want to, how can you express it? No way.

undefinedGrandpa Sun bowed, the emperor drove to the place of his confidante, leaving these trivial things behind.

The prince did not think this was a trivial matter. He kept frowning while listening to the reports of his staff. This may be because Shen Xiang's estrangement from the third prince was not reflected in the message to the prince: "The third prince personally bid farewell to the second son of Zhenbeihou to the long pavilion five miles outside the city, and Miss Shen went home with him." This kind of words and sentences, a trip that the two of them didn't say a word, is a peachy news. As for "a team of business travelers also went to the north with Shen Er Gongzi", it has not received much attention. In this era, many travelers hope to travel with a powerful convoy, not to mention the first military commander in North Korea, Zhenbei. Hou's caravan.

The staff were all prepared for the prince to be furious, but the prince closed his lips tightly and said nothing at the end of the secret meeting. Everyone Anqi: Is this what is said to be out of anger?

After the staff had left, the prince sat for a while, only to feel that the grass grew wild in his chest. He wanted to find someone to talk about his worries, but he didn't know who to call. Finally, he finally got up, feeling that his legs were as heavy as lead, he decided to see his mother Jia Jingfei.

He took the imperial palace to the outside of the cold palace, stopped the imperial palace, and walked slowly towards the gate of Jia Jingfei's palace. He was full of regrets-why didn't he listen to his mother, pay attention to the details, and just hit it! If the assassin killed the three princes at that time, there would be no such thing as today's situation. If it fails once, it will be more difficult next time. If it fails again, it will be almost impossible later. Now there are two healthy princes in the palace, himself and the third prince. If he acts on the third prince, the emperor is likely to hate himself for being disobedient, use this excuse to demote himself, and train a new prince well. He now turned to think about his mother's indoctrination to him, and realized the mother's painstaking efforts at the beginning.

Concubine Jia Jing became less and less energetic. Chengri lay down and only drank some porridge mixed with minced meat and vegetables every day. My throat hurts even when I speak, and I don't even have the strength to get angry.

When the prince walked in, Concubine Jia Jing only opened her eyes.

The prince asked Ann in a low voice, with a particularly respectful attitude. Concubine Jia Jing didn't bother to move, but the prince didn't come often, so she had to come here once, so she had to cheer up and ask what she was still caring about.

Concubine Jia Jing swallowed a few times before she spoke with some difficulty: "Your sister's...marriage..."

The crown prince bit his lower lip. He had already told the fourth princess that when she was ready, he would have done something done and let her marry Ping Yuan Hou's eldest son. There are so many wealth in that house. When she passes by, she can support her by herself, and she may be able to take charge of the family. But these words cannot be said to the mother, and the prince replied: "I am looking for it."

Jia Jingfei feels her throat hurts like a knife every time she speaks, but in order to explain her intentions to the prince, she still tries her best to speak: "I... I said to look for... loyal people... Now... don't look for others... ...That's...your uncle...Changle Houfu..." After such a long time, the prince hadn't settled the marriage, and Jia Jingfei didn't want him to look for anything anymore, so she directly designated her brother Changle Houfu.

The prince hurriedly said: "The child also watched. My mother forgot that a few months ago, my sister went to Changle Houfu to pay her uncle birthday, and met with several sons of that family. But she hasn't made up her mind yet."

Concubine Jia Jing struggled and said, "You...want to persuade her..."

The prince replied: "Why, I have to wait until my sister and Li..."

Concubine Jia Jing made a sound in her throat, probably trying to get angry, but she lost her energy and said desperately: "First...set down..."

The prince said quickly: "Okay, I will do it."

Concubine Jia Jing let out a sigh, closed her eyes and stopped talking. The prince whispered: "My boy wants to thank my mother for her past teachings."

Concubine Jia Jing was expressionless, as if she was asleep.

The prince sat for a while, then quit in a low voice, but Jia Jingfei didn't respond.

When the prince walked out of the cold palace, the sun had already set. At the beginning of the twilight layer upon layer of palaces, shadows spread rapidly in the remaining sky light. The prince frowned and looked to the west. There were countless ants biting in his head, irritable and painful, unable to resolve.

He returned to the East Palace, recruited a few beauties to accompany him, and had dinner. Then the prince who drank a little high recruited three concubines from Xinna and chose the courtyard next to him and the prince to spend the night.

Surrounded by several women, the prince swayed towards the palace courtyard that he would never go to. Every step he took, the anger in his heart rose.

Over the years, the harem of the prince has been twice as large as it was at the time of canonization, but there is no child! The prince's resentment has driven himself crazy. If it wasn't because the Lu family was his most stable support in the court, he wouldn't say that he had divorced the prince, and he would have had the heart of slashing her.

Now he can't see that woman at all, and when he sees her delicate and small face, he will really get sick! How many children! At first, he still had a count, but later, he didn't count. It's useless for him to prevent him. The backyard can't deploy guards to guard him. If he doesn't let the prince concubine summon the concubine concubines, he will lose his respect.

He couldn't really tear his face with the princess, he said everything that should be said, but this woman is so vicious and shameless! Knowing that he can't do anything to her right now, he will do it without any scruples!

Having been married for so many years, let alone his son, he doesn't even have a concubine! How did he, the prince, continue to be the third prince not mentioning the marriage? That's because the eldest daughter of Zhenbeihou hasn't been in time yet. They are walking out of the city now, and when she gets married, the prince can imagine that the third prince will definitely ask for marriage. At that time, the three princes will be twenty years old. Who can stop him from marrying is if he does not marry the daughter of Zhenbeihou, who he marries will not have children. If one day, the three princes have children... the prince's heart is tight. It's-Father Father! Just for the consideration of the heirs, the father will re-elect the prince!

He tossed these three concubines desperately, making trouble for most of the night, Yinggeyan kept talking, and the red waves were surging.

When the time came to the court, the prince got up tired, and the **** came to help him dress and tie his hair. The prince stayed away all night and wanted to sleep a little longer, but he didn't dare to miss the court, so he closed his eyes and helped the eunuchs to wash and dress up. Someone fed breakfast to his mouth. But even so, when he went to court, the prince still didn't really wake up. When approaching the palace, the prince was still half-squinting, one foot was in the air, and he lost his center of gravity, and he was about to pounce on him. A hand stretched out to hold him, and a soft reminder in his ear: "His Royal Highness, beware of your feet. "

The prince frowned and opened his eyes. Seeing a court lady next to him, she should have raised the curtain for him. His appearance was extremely ordinary, his brows were not beautiful, and his age should have been older. When he smiled, there was a fine line around his eyes, but his smile was gentle. , Busily let go, bowed his head in salute. As soon as the prince was about to go to bed, he turned his head and asked: "What is your name."

The elder palace lady was a little surprised, and after hesitating for a moment, she saluted again: "Churong in the small characters of the slave house." A look of horror flashed across her face.

The crown prince knew what she was afraid of, and there was no other expression at the moment, so he went away.

Such a simple support made the prince feel concerned. He hadn't seen this palace lady before, and all the young women who could come to him were young women. Maybe she came up temporarily today. When he stood up silently, he was also a little puzzled. He didn't get comfort from his mother, nor did he get relief from the beauty, but this ordinary-looking court lady made him feel inexplicably intimacy, she seemed to glow with warmth that he had never felt before.

He went down to the palace and then went to the palace, and the next to him was not the palace lady that morning. The prince was determined to find that Chu Rong, but this must be done in secret, and the prince must not be discovered.

---------------------------

In the summer, the windows were all open. Listening to the noise of the courtyard next door, the princess couldn't sleep naturally. When she got up the next day, the baldness under her eyes was not much shallower than that of the princess.

The people who came to ask the princess good morning were less than one-third of the number of people in the prince's backyard, and even those who came had some contempt in their eyes, at least the princess thought so.

When the princess was answering the gift, she spoke very slowly, so that the other party had to give a long gift. The morning greeting was delayed for half an hour, and the concubines were almost humiliated, and the princess motioned to them to leave.

As soon as these Yingyingyanyans left the gate of the prince's palace, they coughed, spit, and screamed, lest the prince could not hear them, and walked away slowly.

The crown prince's small face was still dry in the dazzling summer sun.

There was no one else in the hall except for a close maid. The princess sat in the chair for a long time before asking in a very low voice, "I got the medicine."

The maid standing next to me also whispered: "I got it."

The princess asked again: "Really works"

The maid nodded: "Really, this duanzi soup sells very expensively, a pair of gold or two." In the past, it was only a medicine for abortion, but now it is a medicine for people to cut off the child. It is naturally very expensive.

The prince showed an ice-like smile, and slowly said: "Try the two side concubines first. They used to be so easy to get pregnant. If it looks useful to them in the past six months, give them all! Don't use one of them! fall."

The maid swallowed nervously: "I only bought three pairs. If you want them... it's almost forty taels of gold..."

The princess said lightly: "If it is useful, eighty taels of gold is nothing, sell my dowry."

The maid nodded, and the princess looked forward. She did not move for a long time like a porcelain statue, and the maid did not dare to move. She was so stalemate that she vaguely heard the unscrupulous chattering and laughter of the late-rising women in the palace yard next door.

The crown prince blinked her eyes and said softly, "Make black-bone chicken and angelica soup, to replenish their bodies, and use it right away. I can't wait for a day." Her face twisted: "Little mother's scumbag. Treat me like me. What's the matter, I came from a good family, and my daughters and daughters are righteous! How can I let you get what you want?" It is obviously a vicious word, but the prince said calmly and confidently, as if she was saying very ordinary things.

----------------------------

After watching a fight by the lake, the four princes went back to the palace for several days with fear, and allowed Ding's attendant to listen to the surrounding movements. After a while, the palace didn't respond to the beating of Huo Luo. Didn't find it at all, the fourth prince was relieved. When Bei Rong's envoys left the capital, the four princes left the palace again to wander around. He also went to watch your chess and chess as usual. He didn't know that he was misunderstood by the prince as a gossip for the prince Zhang, and he was further drawn into the blacklist of the prince's hatred.

What displeased the four princes was that since that time, he never got any contact from Zhenbeihoufu. It seems that after he was taken advantage of, he was put aside. Even Zhang Yunming didn't come often. The four princes were melancholy, inevitably with a depressed expression, looking at the crowded streets under the window.

The Baoguan came over at first sight, and whispered: "Gongzi Jiang seems to be in a bad mood, he will be very happy if he can play chess with me and win chess. Gongzi Jiang doesn't want to try."

The four princes really couldn't let themselves sink into that situation, so they could only change the topic to divert the attention of the Baoguan, and asked: "The Baoguan bought food."

Bao Guanren sighed: "I didn't buy much last year, now I regret it! The price of food has increased tenfold. Last summer, it was only three or four pennies, and now it is thirty or forty pennies, which is too expensive. It's cheaper. I am interested in one and want to buy it."

The four princes shook his head heavily and said: "This is not the time to buy land. Baoguan people. Every time a famine begins, the price of food rises and the price of land falls. Although thirty or forty pennies are more than last year, it is normal. It's still affordable. It's much cheaper than a couple of silver or gold during the famine. Baoguan, if I were you, I would sell the fields and buy food at this time." He knew how many things would come later. In the year of disaster, the words spoken came from the letter full.

Without Ji Wenzhao, the four princes can be regarded as top chess players here, and the Baoguan people admire the four princes very much-look at others, they beat themselves at a young age...Of course, everyone treats himself Defeated, but the four princes are the youngest!

Hearing what the Fourth Prince said, the Baoguan was guilty. How many famines humans have gone through, everyone has a panic gene in their bodies. When the third prince let out the words, Bao Guanren didn't believe them all. Now the fourth princes said the same. Bao Guanren didn't dare to believe it, and immediately threw a fist at the fourth prince: "Thank you Jiang Gongzi for reminding me. Just left.

The four princes had a quiet time again, and could sit there and think wildly. But the Baoguanren ran back home in a hurry and asked his mother and wife to take out the money without telling them, and asked them to sell all the fine jewelry, and hurry up to buy food. The price of food changes every day and it must not be delayed. The official Bao is usually not home, but he is also a pillar of the industry. He came back so bluffing, and mysteriously said that the palace told him to let him do it. Mrs. Bao was frightened and thought It was the emperor in the palace who got the reports from various places, and the famine was here! How can the common people know that Baoguanren won the letter after opening a Guanyi Pavilion? You can't be blinded by such precious news! Mrs. Bao sold fine jewelry and used all her savings to buy food. After that, I also told my neighbors about the Seven Aunts and Eight Aunts. All of a sudden, a wave of food grabs started from a corner of the capital. Everyone scrambled to buy food, which pushed up food prices several times in a short period of time.

These people who bought food have no regrets at all.

The drought that began at the turn of spring and summer became more intense in summer. In many places, the weather is dry and hot, and the creeks and rivers have dried up. After the fall, disasters were reported everywhere, and there was no harvest in the vast fields.

Every day, the emperor listened to various memorials crying about the tragic drought, and gradually became irritable. Fortunately, the grain reserves are abundant, most of which are instructing local officials to open warehouses to relieve the hungry, and several areas have joined forces to repatriate the refugees back to their hometowns.

The crown prince has become a decoration. He has never experienced a disaster year in the past. Now he is trapped by heavy selfish thoughts. Facing the disaster, he has no clue. He can only say yes to the emperor's instructions. Dare to speak, let alone any suggestions.

Once the emperor became impatient and asked: "What advice does the prince have for disaster relief?"

The prince saluted: "Listen to the meaning of the emperor."

All courtiers frowned secretly when they saw it.

Before the prince was canonized, he fought against the seven-year-old daughter of Zhenbeihou, disrespectful to the military commander at the frontier of the court, and then the queen poisoned in public, and then there were assassins who went to the three princes so obviously... I thought he was. How capable I have provoked so many incidents, but now it's really a matter of politics, how can I be so incompetent that I knew that I was so incompetent? Why did the Beihou Mansion stand so arrogantly at the beginning? "In exchange for such false words, it was the blood of how many people spelled it out on the battlefield. In this way, the prince was too overwhelmed.

Zhenbeihou Mansion, where everyone turned back to sympathize, had a particularly peaceful summer.

Shen Xiang and Shen Wen had their fourteenth and twelfth birthdays.

After Shen Jian left, the Yang family stayed in bed for a month before getting up and raising Shen Qiang again. All the affairs of the house were left to the Liu family. Fortunately, Shen Qiang is very energetic. Sometimes Yang feels that he is busy with him, and his mood slowly improves.

Since Shen Jian left, Shen Xiang has been practising every day like going crazy, his face is tanned and red. Yang was so distressed that he cursed, but Shen Xiang didn't listen at all. Shen Wen remembered that it was the same in his previous life, and Shen Xiang was so estranged from him, the two of them gradually moved away, and finally they couldn't speak much. At that time, Shen Xiang looked down on his laziness and weakness, and he looked down on Shen Xiang's barbarism at that time.

This time, Shen Wen was still unable to change. She sometimes went to Shen Xiang after Shen Xiang had studied martial arts. Shen Xiang was always a little impatient in her words, and she despised Shen Wen for doing nothing. And Shen Wen is indeed very lazy, she often sleeps late at noon-because she always gets out at night.

Zhang Yunzheng finally arranged the furniture outside the secret room. Outside the wall is the Baibao pavilion frame that stretches from the ground to the roof. Books and a few antiques are placed on it, but one of the shelves can be opened, and the back is the door of the secret room. .

The room with the secret room is simple and scribbled. It is a semi-study room with a recliner. The bedroom next door is connected by a door. On the other side of the room opposite to the secret room, it is very delicate, with expensive furniture, and the antique vases on the shelves are obviously good, and it can be regarded as a living room.

After everything was set up, Ping Yuan Hou came forward to mobilize a family of honest servants and couples in the Ping Yuan Hou Mansion to guard the gate. Outsiders only said that this was an estate for the nephew of Yuan's house.

It took more than ten days for Shen Wen to arrive at the courtyard because of birthdays and so on. This time, three houses in a row were lit by candles. Shen Wen chose the one with a secret room and knocked on the door. Inside Zhang Yunzheng said loudly, "If it's a little liar, come in!"

Shen Wen repeatedly warned himself-he is a thousand years old, and he can't be as knowledgeable as this bastard! But he still pushed the door and said, "Hey, except for the dog barking, I didn't hear any human voices."

Zhang Yunzheng was taking a piece of cloth and wiping the furniture indiscriminately. Hearing this, he shook the cloth vigorously in front of Shen Wen. Shen Wen jumped away, shook his hands and waved away the dust, vomiting in his mouth, and then shouted: "Little Bastard! Where's your brother!"

When Zhang Yunzheng heard her coming up, he asked Zhang Yunming, and continued to shake the cloth badly, saying: "I can't hear what you said."

"Damn it!" Shen Wen ran away, to another corner, and pointed to Zhang Yunzheng and said, "No trouble! I'm looking for your brother!"

Zhang Yunzheng snorted: "Let's find it! He should be on the ground of the wine cellar you mentioned."

Shen Wen Yixi: "He wants to do it himself"

Zhang Yunzheng pouted: "Seeing you are happy, do you still know the north side?"

Shen Wen pointed at Zhang Yunzheng with his arms akimbo: "You, don't be muddled! Let me go to the secret room."

Zhang Yunzheng looked at Shen Wen's appearance, and said contemptuously: "Does your mother always talk like that? You are just a few years old, just like a mother-in-law."

Shen Wen was anxious: "That's what you have to do! You unreasonable, ignorant bastard!"

Zhang Yunzheng glared at Shen Wen: "You are muddled! Look at this place, what have you done! You paid the money and worked hard and spent the time. Why do you just point your fingers when you come!"

Shen Wen was choked all of a sudden and her mouth was dumbfounded-she found out that she had actually made a mistake that a person with a thousand years of experience shouldn't make: thinking that she knows and understands well, she despises others.

Zhang Yunzheng snorted fiercely at Shen Wen, turned around and wiped the dust on the furniture with a cloth.

Shen Wen bit her lower lip. She had been acting like a baby since she was a child, and now it's too easy to admit mistakes. She coughed lightly and said with a tired voice, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't say that to you." Zhang Yunzheng didn't look back, and continued to shake the cloth. Shen Wen knew that Zhang Yunzheng had never done housework in the house for about a lifetime, but here, because she said at the time that the two brothers could only build the secret room, Zhang Yunzheng actually built the wall, plastered it, and moved the furniture with Zhang Yunming. Now I'm wiping the furniture again... Shen Wen is really ashamed, rubbing his footsteps behind Zhang Yunzheng, and whispering: "Well, I won't scold you anymore."

Zhang Yunzheng turned around and said to Shen Wen: "But I will scold you in the future!"

Shen Wen chuckled: "Then I will scold you too!" But he secretly warned himself that he should not scold Zhang Yunzheng any more, because Zhang Yunzheng is no longer the **** he used to be.

Zhang Yunzheng opened a piece of furniture with his hand, revealing the door of the secret room, he pushed it open, and raised his chin indifferently on the surface.

Shen Wen smiled and entered the secret room, which was just a four-step small compartment, which was full of a book case and two chairs. The walls are filled with candlesticks holding candles, illuminating the secret room. Shen Wen turned around and smiled and dragged his tone and said: "It's really well built! It's still so bright, so I don't waste my eyes when I draw things! The arrangement is so thoughtful."

Zhang Yunzheng immediately turned away from Shen Wen with a sullen face, and left by the door between the two rooms.

Shen Wen arrived at the table and looked at the Four Treasures of the Study on the book case. She found that the ink was pine, smoke and ink, and the words that she wrote did not melt. The hanging pens include orchids and bamboo, freehand brushwork, leaf tendons, clothing patterns, and small precision, which can meet the requirements of most paintings and calligraphy. The inkstone is the most precious Taohe green stone inkstone. The compartment under the desk has a four-foot pill, white silk that can be written on, and silk and silk that can be painted. There is a bandage beside the case, if you use silk and silk, you can stretch it on top.

Shen Wen understood that the people who arranged these had spent a lot of thought, and she was ashamed of her arrogance again: thinking that she was someone else's lifesaver, she ignored the efforts of others.

She sighed for a while, then tightened a piece of white silk on the stretcher, and then laid the stretcher flat on the bookcase. She used a small spoon to scoop the water and put it in the inkstone, grinding the ink while thinking about what she wanted to draw.

When Shen Wen picked up the pen, her mood had completely calmed down, and she had entered a meditation-like mood. The maze map she wants to draw is based on various materials and theories for years. The maze was built in her mind long ago, and she only needs to draw it carefully.

She began to draw outlines and patterns. Gradually, the walls of the secret room seemed to disappear, and Shen Wen was completely immersed in her mind. The season is already late summer and early autumn. Although there is a breeze in the secret room, it is still dull, but Shen Wen has no warmth.

Zhang Yunzheng couldn't bear Shen Wen's whispering words, so he sat in the other room for a while, and then went outside the secret room. The door of the secret room was open, but it was quiet inside. Zhang Yunzheng walked to the door and looked in. Shen Wen was painting. She writes slowly and her expression is focused. Today, she happened to be wearing a night gown made of thin materials bought by Zhang Yunzheng. The clothes were close to the body, showing a faint curve around the waist. Zhang Yunzheng was suddenly upset, and then quietly walked away from the door.

He sat in the room, listening to the movement outside, and prepared to shut the door of the secret room whenever there was a suspicious sound. But slowly, as if he were asleep, he entered a realm, thoughtless, as if in a dream, but very awake. Everything is gone, only the silence at this time, speechless and wordless, but calm the tired body and mind...

Suddenly, there was a loud drum in the distance, and Zhang Yunzheng woke up in shock, walked a few steps to the door of the secret room and said, "Four corrections!"

Shen Wen's pen stopped in the air, knowing that it was two o'clock in the night of the future generations, and said: "Then I should go back!" She pointed to the white silk in front of her and said, "You help me hide this..."

Zhang Yunzheng glanced at Shen Wen's carefully drawn outline map, frowned and said: "What is this?"

Shen Wen said: "It's the outline of the maze."

Zhang Yunzheng pointed to a place and said: "Why is this a double dotted line. A two-layer wall is to be built? Why is it thicker here? Is the wall thicker? Why is it not straight here. Should we build this kind of water wave."

Shen Wen argued: "This is whether the brushwork is good or not. It is not a machine. How can it be drawn horizontally and upright and it is still a brush! It is impossible to draw the filaments without chaos. Maybe it's OK, they will understand."

Zhang Yunzheng's eyes widened: "If you don't understand what to do, you can't stare at them at the border to build it. If your picture is not detailed and meticulous, who will they ask?"

Shen Wen stubbornly said: "They can use their imagination!"

Zhang Yunzheng said angrily: "You keep saying that you have thousands of years of experience. If anyone knows more than you, you must think better than others. Since you want to draw pictures, you have to draw your ideas. You can't be so foolish. Draw a rough sketch!"

Shen Wen complained, "But this is what I did best! What do you want me to do if you have a pencil and ruler from later generations, it will be much better. It won't work, let me draw with charcoal."

Zhang Yunzheng shook his head and said, "The charcoal drawing will become blurred, and there will be no ink for a long time. Well, you go back first, I will find a way."

Shen Wen knew that the summer night was short. She had to go back in the dark. After hearing Zhang Yunzheng's words, she didn't bother to worry anymore, walked to the door, and said, "That little Seiko is going to be bald. It must be a bargain. "

Zhang Yunzheng retorted: "No! I want the best, I have to fight, they dare to lie to me!"

Shen Wen chuckled and ran away-it seems that the things in the secret room were prepared by Zhang Yunzheng.

Zhang Yunzheng recovered and said in a low voice: "Little liar." He looked at Shen Wen's paintings. Although the brush strokes were uneven, the structure was strange and unusual. He washed the pens and inkstones, put them away, unloaded the silk and silk painted by Shen Wen from the shelf, dried them and folded them, and hid them in a dense hole on the roof on the chair, and then blew out the lamps and candles. , Out of the secret room, closed Baibaoge, and lay down in the next bedroom.

In the darkness, Zhang Yunzheng closed his eyes, thinking about how to help Shen Wen with the picture, but soon fell asleep dimly. In a trance, he felt that he had returned to the door of the secret room and looked inside...

---------------------------------------------

However, Shen Wen slept soundly. When it was noon, Su Wanniang waited most of the night, but she had to get up early in the morning, and she had panda eyes all day. Seeing this, Shen Wen decided not to go to Zhang Yunzheng to draw pictures every day, but only once every two or three days, so that Su Wanniang could sleep well for a few nights.

Shen Jian has been away for a while, and Shen Wen wants to comfort the Yan family. She arrived in the Yan family's courtyard, and Yan family greeted her when she heard the maid's report. Shen Wen was surprised to find that Yan family was refreshed, completely different from the Liu family who had been in depression after Shen Yi left.

Su Wanniang and Crucian Carp were chatting in the yard, Yan Shi smiled and welcomed Shen Wen into the house, told her to sit down, and said to her: "Come on, have tea, I actually want to ask someone to invite you."

Shen Wen asked hurriedly: "It's about the wine cellar"

Yan nodded and said in a low voice: "My third aunt has received a letter, and didn't point out the place, but said that she has negotiated with the other side, and it is time to build wine this year..." She almost stuck to Shen Wen's ear. : "She said that the other party told her the brewing ingredients she would give, and she was scared..."

Shen Wen nodded: Where there are raw materials for winemaking, it is food.

Shen Wen smiled and said, "I ask the second sister-in-law to really help me thank the third aunt. It's not easy for her to work so hard."

Yan sighed, "Didn't I tell you the last time that she came out. My grandmother has always been very harsh to her, and she always picks her fault when she meets. She doesn't sit or stand. She only gave birth to two daughters. , My grandmother said that she was not from a scholarly family and was not suitable for teaching her two daughters, so she took them and put them under her lap. My grandmother also repeatedly let my uncle take concubines. My uncle followed my third uncle to hide in Tibet. Yes, I can't go home if I don't go home."

Shen Wen also sighed, and whispered: "Your third aunt is not easy, it's rare for her to be so happy."

Yan nodded and said: "Her heart is like this. No matter what, I can't get beaten down. I have to learn. You come with me." She got up and took Shen Wen out and went to one of the yards. In the side room, when I entered the door, I saw that one hall was completely emptied, and only two big eight immortal tables were placed.

Yan said to Shen Wen solemnly: "You know what, I originally wanted to go to the border with your second brother right away, but later I thought, I am going now, it is a burden to him. I can't walk fast and can't run. , How come to the battle with him"

Shen Wen panicked, "Second Sister-in-law, you can't go to the battlefield!"

Yan Shi ignored Shen Wen's exclamation and said to Shen Wen: "Look, I'll walk for you." After that, he walked around the Eight Immortals table and said as he walked: "I thought you were too far away from fourteen. Now I think it's right! I walked three or four hours in such a day, two years later, will I be able to travel hundreds of miles a day? ..."

Shen Wen nodded: "Second Sister-in-law, I totally agree with you! That's what I think! Running faster is better than anything else! But let's not go to the battlefield or something!"

Yan said to Shen Wen as he walked: "Your second brother is actually quite stupid in my opinion! He can't think of a bad idea in a daze! This is a disadvantage! You should understand what I mean when the time comes. I'm going, at least I can add a wing to him. You should have seen from playing chess. I'm much smarter than him, but we can never tell him this. Men can't think about it... "

Shen Wen stared blankly at Yan's complexion gradually ruddy while walking, and he could only admire Yan Shi who was so energetic.

Chapter 73

Huola lay all the way back to Beirong, and lay down for another month before getting out of bed. Gradually, he felt that he had recovered more than half of his body. If he hadn't been riding and fighting for a long time, he wouldn't feel any difference. But if you are too tired, you will be out of breath, and your physical strength will not be as good as before. He wrote down the account carefully.

He gave a detailed account of the geographical conditions along the way and the prosperity of the Southern Dynasty to the Tugu Khan, and tried his best to suggest that the land occupied by these incompetent Han people should be taken as his own.

Tugu Khan knew that Huo Luo was young and vigorous, and it was inevitable that things were too simple. It is still too early for him to completely wipe out northern Xinjiang and expand southward. But if the northern border is settled down, sooner or later, we will go to the south. Hundreds of thousands of cavalry under him, don't need to do nothing, don't fight for nothing, don't you have to feed them, but at the moment, he still accepts the covenant of the Southern Dynasty emperor, and promises to meet the strong request of the prince. At the invitation of the prince, he asks the emperor of the Southern Dynasty to marry the four princesses as his wife. . Of course, the season is wrong now, this matter has to wait for the coming year.

-------------------------------------------------- -

When Shen Wen went to the house in the courtyard again, there was an extra big tank in the house. Shen Wenzheng strangely, Zhang Yunzheng let her into the secret room. The book cases in the secret room were all withdrawn and turned into a large square platform with a pot of brick-red clay next to it. Zhang Yunzheng pointed to the soil and said, "This is the clay I prepared. From today, you will use these clays to build your maze."

undefinedShen Wen was a little unconfident: "In some places, um, it's not easy to handle."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Tell me, I will do it. If you can't make it out of clay, others can't make it out of masonry. If you do it, I'll paint it."

Shen Wen asked: "You can paint"

Zhang Yunzheng half-squinted his eyes: "I dare not say yes, but if I paint and compare with your painting, others will think that the side of my painting is a pig painting."

Shen Wen glared at Zhang Yunzheng: "Are you here to provoke again?"

Zhang Yunzheng snorted: "What's the matter with the provocation, hurry up, do it. I have a small mold here that can be adjusted. Tell me the size of the stone."

Shen Wenyixi: "Great! I told my second brother to go quarrying, the size is..."

Zhang Yunzheng adjusted the mold according to the proportion, filled the cement, and knocked it out again. It was a mud block, which Shen Wen immediately used to start building the wall. While Zhang Yunzheng was demoulding, Shen Wen was building the walls of the Lost City while Shen Wen was building the walls of the Lost City. Where there were no mud blocks, Shen Wen had to use glue to shape them and put them on. The two cooperate well, but Zhang Yunzheng often has to say something bad: "Your mud will be flattened again, it's chubby, it doesn't match with anything else!" "Look! The corners of this wall are not sharp. That's it!"...

Shen Wen couldn't bear it anymore: "Don't you still have to paint? If you paint straight, it will become a problem. Do you know that people like you will be called obsessive-compulsive in later lives."

Zhang Yunzheng glared at Shen Wen: "That's at least positive! It's better than you!"

Shen Wen is now ignoring Zhang Yunzheng's attack on him. Forget it, being serious is a good quality, and it can save himself a lot of things.

Two people are making models, and time flies quickly, and Shen Wen feels that after a while, the four clocks outside are louder and louder. Shen Wen is about to leave. Zhang Yunzheng said, "Wait." He took her to the outside room, pointed to a basin and said, "Wash your hands clean." Then, he pointed to a small brush next to her. Shen Wen knew that this was the last time he said that he could not let people see dirty nails. Zhang Yunzheng remembered, so he washed his hands and brushed his nails. Wiping it with the towel beside the shelf, Zhang Yunzheng said, "Let me see."

Shen Wen felt that Zhang Yunzheng was too serious, and stretched out his hands in front of him and said, "Look, it's very clean!"

Zhang Yunzheng saw Shen Wen's hands white and tender, ten fingertips like bamboo shoots, and a few shallow nests on the back of his hands, frowning and whispering: "Pig trotters!"

Shen Wen retracted his hand and said to Zhang Yunzheng: "Little bastard!" Just about to go out, he turned around and said, "I can't come every day, once every three days." Then he ran away.

Zhang Yunzheng returned to the secret room and made a pile of small mud sticks before closing the secret room door and going to the next bedroom to sleep.

He woke up late the next day and returned to Pingyuan Hou Mansion after lunch.

After that, Shen Wen came once every three days. Zhang Yunzheng made a lot of mud sticks in advance. When Shen Wen came, he built the wall. The progress was very fast, and the masonry structure of the lost city was completed in more than a month.

Then, it's the detailed design. There are several caves for Tibetan soldiers, secret roads and more than one hundred institutions in this lost city. Those organs-flaps, sinkholes, trip locks, arrow holes, gun holes, rolling balls, falling boards, hanging rocks, cutting axe... Shen Wen couldn't make it, so he could only draw a sketch and let Zhang Yunzheng use a small wooden stick. , Paper, mortar, needlework, etc.

Zhang Yunzheng has fully demonstrated all the advantages of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder and can concentrate on making every organ. Once, Shen Wen looked at his slender fingers, extremely focused eyes, slightly frowned brows, and sighed in his heart: He is almost a girl than himself!

Zhang Yunzheng seemed to know what Shen Wen was thinking, and carefully placed the small organ in his hand between the two walls before he got up and glared at her and said, "This has nothing to do with men and women! This is you too stupid! Sometimes I really think you are Is it possible to come back earlier, but because I was too stupid to find a way, I only waited a thousand years."

Shen Wen pouted: "You know you will be annoying if you do this, so don't you say so many bad things, no one likes you!"

Zhang Yunzheng looked at Shen Wen contemptuously: "Don't worry about me, worry about yourself!"

Shen Wen said: "Why should I worry about myself"

Zhang Yunzheng smirked: "Do you know what you like or not?"

Shen Wen blushed and stamped his feet: "You are a bad person!" He even molested her, and left as soon as the time was up.

In Pingyuanhou's mansion, Li complained to Pingyuanhou: "Why don't I see it often recently... He heard that he has a house outside. This is because we are grieving that we will not come back once we move out..." Li's eyes were a little bit of tears.

Ping Yuan Hou frowned slightly: "The little boy was pretty smooth when he saw me last time, he didn't have any hair. But they did say that he would not come back one night in two or three days..."

Li's tear-wiping handkerchief stopped in the air and looked at Ping Yuanhou in horror: "Don't he... raise someone! I have to go and see his place..."

Knowing that Zhang Yunzheng had gone to the courtyard, Hou Ping Yuan hurriedly stopped Li, "No, don't go. That place is a dark spot, the less people know, the better. I won't go, lest it attract people's attention." Only Da Lang came forward to make arrangements. I asked him...oh, he went out yesterday."

The more Li thought about it, the more scared he said, "Why do I think the more I think he is with a girl, otherwise, at this age, he will not lose his family..."

Ping Yuanhou waved his hand: "You think too much. He has a temper, and he will noisy when he sees people. After three sentences, he wants to fight. Which girl can stand it and hope that he can grow up when he is 22 years old and be stable, otherwise I don't want to marry Jin'er to such a bad temper who wants to marry his daughter."

Li was skeptical about her husband, but decided to wait for Zhang Yunzheng to give a sidekick.

That day, Zhang Yunzheng finally went home at noon.

He did a mechanism a few times last night, but he didn't get it done, and he kept thinking about changing the material. Maybe you ask for a carrot from the kitchen and carve out a hollow shape with a knife, which is better than making it with clay. He didn't feel that Shen Wen's design was too dark, he always wanted to express Shen Wen's intention perfectly. Maybe it was because he was too involved and fell asleep at night. In his dream, he saw Shen Wen and many blue Swifts flying and frolicking in the air. He waved his arms and kicked and chased him desperately, but he couldn't chase. Go... He woke up, in a bad mood, and returned home hungry. As soon as he entered the mansion, I heard that Li was looking for him. Zhang Yunzheng hurriedly entered Li's room, and when he saw Li was having a meal, he yelled, "Oh... there is food!"

Li put down the bowls and chopsticks and looked at Zhang Yunzheng with some grievances. Zhang Yunzheng frowned and cried out awkwardly, "Mother..."

Li immediately smiled and blossomed: "Sit down, sit down!" She raised her voice rare: "Quickly, serve chopsticks and spoons! Let people serve more dishes, and bring some more crucian carp soup." , Didn't I mean to give Master Hou and the others the oil hooves at night?

She looked at Zhang Yunzheng with a smile, and Zhang Yunzheng hurriedly washed his hands in the basin sent by the maid, but stared at the dishes on the table. As soon as he wiped his hand on the towel, he reached out and grabbed it on the plate. Li was stopped by one hand, took the chopsticks from the maid with the other hand, and handed it to Zhang Yunzheng. "She didn't raise this child personally since she was a child, and Zhang Yunzheng was obviously lacking etiquette in behavior.

Zhang Yunzheng did not speak, and took the chopsticks without being humble. After a few quick clicks, the light lunch plates in front of Li were all empty.

Zhang Yunzheng frowned just as he was about to lose his temper. The maids came over with food trays, and new dishes were served on the floor. Zhang Yunzheng then immersed himself in eating again. Li didn't speak, but watched with a smile.

When Zhang Yunzheng finally had enough to eat, put down his chopsticks, took a few sips of tea, and his expression was relieved, Li said with a smile, "Look, you are hungry! Lord Hou is out of the city, your brother is not there, you are not here They are together"

Zhang Yunzheng knew that Zhang Yunming was going to manage the wine cellar and his father was busy training soldiers, so he said, "I don't care about them! I'm also... very busy!"

Li smiled carefully: "You are so old... do you want a... maid"

Zhang Yunzheng heard that he was going to give him a maid, and the immediate reaction was that his mother wanted to listen to him, and he was immediately furious: "Did you put a maid in my brother's room!"

Lee retreated pitifully: "Your brother, he said he wanted to pick it by himself... As a result, I haven't seen him pick anyone in these years..."

Zhang Yunzheng raised his eyebrows: "Since he picks it myself, I pick it myself too! No!" He recalled: "What do I pick for the maid! I don't want to pick it at all! They are very annoying."

He said that he was about to get up, and Li asked hurriedly: "Zheng'er, tell the truth to your mother, did you fall in love with someone?"

Zhang Yunzheng jumped up, his face flushed: "What is "fancy"! Fancy a ghost! Yes, it's a ghost!"

Li's face paled: "My child! This is not a joke! Don't be so distracted, it's really impossible, you can bring it in...

Zhang Yunzheng yelled: "What 'bring it in'! Be a concubine! A ghost of a thousand years be a concubine!"

Li covered his chest: "You can't be so scared as a mother! What a ghost! What can I do if I scared my mother to death"

Zhang Yunzheng frowned and pouted: "Mother, raise her head first, leave my business alone!"

Li beckoned Zhang Yunzheng to come closer, and took Zhang Yunzheng's hand to look carefully at Zhang Yunzheng's face. These days, Zhang Yunzheng is making models with Shen Wen in the secret room. He is deeply influenced by Shen Wen's aura. He has a peaceful mood and focused consciousness. Although I slept late, I had enough sleep, no dark circles under my eyes, and my eyes were as clear and innocent as before.

The more Li looked, the more he liked it. He patted Zhang Yunzheng's hand and said, "Son, mother is really worried about you. You don't need to tell mother what you are doing, but you must take good care of your body."

Zhang Yunzheng muttered: "I'm fine." Reluctantly.

Li sighed: "I can't help my son!" Letting go, Zhang Yunzheng bowed, and left with a satisfied look.

Li looked at Zhang Yunzheng's back, frowning and muttering to himself: "How can I find the Taoist priest back then? Let him see if my son has hit the evil." A violent fourth princess saw Got it, one shouldn't be entangled by a ghost, right?

Knowing that Zhang Yunzheng was back, Hou Pingyuan called him and said, "Tomorrow you will follow me to the surrounding villagers, and you will have a familiar face." Zhang Yunzheng agreed.

That night, Zhang Yunzheng did not go to the secret room. Early the next morning, he rode out of the city with Ping Yuanhou.

Shen Wen arrived at the courtyard at night, a row of black holes. Since she came, she still entered the secret room. When the lamp was turned on, she sat next to the half-formed model, she didn't want to do anything. She sat there for a while, got up again, blew on the lamp, left the secret room, and closed the door. She told herself that she wanted to check her surroundings, and she went around the courtyard a few times, but found no one. Shen Wen returned to the mansion early on rare occasions, which made Su Wanniang very happy and had a good night's sleep.

The next day, Shen Wen woke up after a long sleep and was a little listless. He lay in bed for a long time and didn't get up. After thinking about it for a long time, he realized that it was because Zhang Yunzheng left without saying goodbye! Yes, this bastard! Don't leave a note for yourself! Let yourself not know where he went! During this period of time, two people were making models together, and it was considered a team. He just waved his hand and left. Irresponsible jerk! ...Shen Wen scolded Zhang Yunzheng over and over a dozen times in his heart.

Zhang Yunzheng sneezed again and again outside the city, and Ping Yuan Hou laughed: "It's probably your mother who is talking about you!" They went to a village of Li's outside the city. Ping Yuan Hou got off his horse, panting, and sighed to Zhang Yunzheng next to him. Said: "No way, I'm so old! I think at the beginning... Forget it, why did I show you this?"

Zhang Yunzheng hasn't been riding a horse for a long time, and his legs hurt when he rides, not much better than his father, but he said: "Whoever makes Dad always sit in the house, he can run more in the future."

Ping Yuan Hou looked at Zhang Yunzheng's difficult gait and said maliciously: "I don't think your kid is much better. I will have to walk you every time in the future."

The servant servants and a group of farmers in Zhuangzi embraced the two people into the yard and closed the gate. The people in Zhuangzi followed Ping Yuanhou and Zhang Yunzheng into the hall, and the others guarded the yard.

When Ping Yuanhou and Zhang Yunzheng were seated, the people in the hall greeted each other: "I have seen the general!"

Ping Yuanhou waved his hand: "You don't need to be polite, just sit down, are you okay?"

One person said: "Very good, but someone from the mountain said yesterday that they were all tired and fell on the ground. I don't know which grandson made up that troop training thing."

Ping Yuan Hou laughed and patted Zhang Yunzheng beside him on the shoulder: "You can ask him."

The man hurriedly apologized: "My son, forgive me."

Zhang Yunzheng curled his lips: "It's okay, I didn't make it up."

Ping Yuanhou said: "An extra drop of sweat in normal times, and a drop of blood less in war. You all understand that people in Zhuangzi should not be idle."

One person hurriedly said: "Yes, everyone knows that this is the general who asked everyone to do it."

I asked the staff and age of the Zhuangzi, the number of hoes and picks used by the Zhuangzi, and checked the number of people on the account. Ping Yuan Hou nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's serve food, it's not easy to come again. Everyone have a good meal."

Several people said: "I have to drink!"

Ping Yuan Hou laughed: "I just took my nose when I rode over. How can I go back to the city if I get drunk again?"

Everyone smiled: "Who does the general miss?"

People were urged to have food, everyone had a meal, Ping Yuan Hou was drunkly supported on a horse, said goodbye to everyone, left Zhuangzi, and rode to another Zhuangzi.

Halfway through, Ping Yuan Hou had completely lost his drunken appearance. Zhang Yunzheng, who was riding beside him, said, "Father will pretend."

Ping Yuan Hou laughed: "Let's see a few places a day, don't pretend to be drunk, and don't let these gangsters die."

They saw two more Zhuangzi before returning to the city. Zhang Yunzheng knew that when Ping Yuanhou took him to visit Zhuangzi one by one, he also let him show his face in front of everyone and officially introduced him to his subordinates. He was proud and nervous in his heart, and he kept being solemn and saying nothing, lest he would lose fan to his father.

After returning to the mansion, Zhang Yunzheng finally relaxed and went to see Li with his father. Li asked, "You are back, you are tired this day."

Zhang Yunzheng frowned and said, "I'm not tired at all."

Ping Yuan Hou made a cut: "If you don't get tired, your legs are shaking, and the kid knows that his mouth is hard."

Zhang Yunzheng stared: "I also said that my father can't stand up too!"

Ping Yuan Hou raised his hand: "Get out! You are not big or small!"

Zhang Yunzheng straightened his neck: "Who wants to stay here" limped out.

Ping Yuan Hou looked at Zhang Yunzheng's back and sighed: "The **** without a tutor!"

Li also sighed: "He is rude now. Yesterday I asked him who he fell in love with outside. He said he fell in love with a ghost..."

Pingyuan Hou laughed, and Li said anxiously: "I think he is serious."

Ping Yuanhou still laughed: "Then he is really hell! When the child is older, don't worry about it."

Li sighed again: "How can I not worry about the Fourth Princess?"

Ping Yuanhou said: "Madam, the four princesses won't be able to get married until next year. They must wait for her to plan for us. Now we still have time."

Li looked at Ping Yuanhou admiringly: "Husband, our house depends on you."

Ping Yuan Hou nodded: "Madam, don't worry."

Li finally lost his sadness and said to others: "The dinner is open." Turning his head and saying to Ping Yuanhou, "Knowing that you have been running outside for a day, I let them make soup, quench their thirst and relieve their fatigue..."

Ping Yuan Hou smiled and said to Li, "Madam is always very thoughtful. I only have a wife in my life..." He started to say good things again.

Zhang Yunzheng wanted to go to the courtyard, but his legs were so painful that he couldn't use light gong, so he took a rest for two days. When he went to the courtyard, he went into the secret room to see that he was angry on the spot: He had been away for a few days, and Shen Wen did nothing! Zhang Yunzheng took out the carrot he had brought, and carve it intently.

When Shen Wen saw the lights in the courtyard, most of the anger she had been holding back for a few days suddenly vented. She knocked on the door, and no one came to open the door! Shen Wen's breath that had just died out rose again. She looked through the window, no one in the room, knowing that Zhang Yunzheng probably entered the secret room, maybe she couldn't hear herself. Thinking about this, her anger disappeared. Shen Wen walked around outside the courtyard, looked inside the house from time to time, and at the same time scolded himself for being ill! With this effort, I have already returned to the Hou Mansion. I'll talk about it after I slept tonight! Can't you come again tomorrow? Zhang Yunzheng didn't also let his pigeons go. That's what he thought in his heart, but he didn't want to go back without seeing Zhang Yunzheng. If it is really to be investigated, Shen Wen wants to accuse Zhang Yunzheng!

After Zhang Yunzheng finished carving the mechanism in his hand, he finally recovered. He remembered whether Shen Wen had come, and he hurriedly opened the secret room. He immediately heard movement at the door. Zhang Yunzheng was immediately vigilant and heard Shen Wen whisper: "Open the door!" Busily went over and opened the door.

As soon as Shen Wen came in, the sullen emotions erupted immediately: "Why didn't you leave a note last time when you didn't come, I thought you had an accident! Why didn't you turn off the outside lights in the secret room if someone went outside? Look inside, what should I do when I see you coming out of the secret room, do you know that as a team, you have to maintain communication..."

After listening to Zhang Yunzheng for a long time, he realized that Shen Wen was emptied, and he was unhappy. When Shen Wen finished the fire, he said: "My father asked me to go out with him temporarily. I can't make it. Next time, if I can come out, definitely Leave a letter for you."

Shen Wen lost his words, pouting, Zhang Yunzheng squinted at her, and Shen Wen rolled his eyes: "Look at me!"

Zhang Yunzheng twitched the corners of his mouth, "Why don't you go in, my organization has been completed, I can draw the overall picture."

Shen Wen was a little depressed: after spending so many days sulking, a few words passed after the meeting, so there was no big quarrel and it was very unpleasant.

She entered the secret room, Zhang Yunzheng set up the shelf, stretched the white silk, let Shen Wen help, first compare with a long ruler, compare the model one to one, use a thin charcoal rod to hit the outline and the dashed line of the wall. Wen measured the model on one side, reported the numbers, and checked whether Zhang Yunzheng's dotted line was consistent with the model. It seemed that after only ten minutes, I heard the drums.

Shen Wen said frustratedly: "I don't have much time to do such a little talent, it's all you!"

Zhang Yunzheng sent Shen Wen out, took a look at the drip flask he had brought, and said, "We have been drawing for half an hour, and that's okay. I made the big picture during the day, and the details should be explained in separate pictures and text. "

Shen Wen was surprised that the time had passed so long, and while frowning in doubt, Yu Guang seemed to see Zhang Yunzheng smile, Shen Wen turned to look at him, and Zhang Yunzheng yawned. Shen Wen had to say, "See you next time."

When Shen Wen came next time, Zhang Yunzheng really drew the big picture of the entire labyrinth on the white silk, with straight lines and uniform thickness, looking at the special art.

Shen Wen stared at him for a long time, and said that he could not accept the obsessive-compulsive disorder. She noticed that many offices were numbered, and Zhang Yunzheng took out a stack of papers and said, "You should look at it accordingly and see if I describe it correctly."

Shen Wen took it. It turned out that there was a detailed picture relative to the number, and there was an explanation on how to build the organ next to it. The handwriting is clean, the ink is not sloppy, and Fengying has beautiful hair. Shen Wen's eyes widened as soon as he saw it, and he almost stuck his nose. After confirming the truth, he raised his head and called to Zhang Yunzheng: "It's you! It's the Jiangnan cuisine memorabilia you wrote!"

Zhang Yunzheng looked at Shen Wen with a very contemptuous look: "I didn't write it for you! I even wrote a mountain and river record! A brainless pig can't read it. My brother put that book in the package to greet you. . To be honest, did you drool a lot after reading it?"

Shen Wen is still in shock: "How can you write a food note, how can you write an essay"

Zhang Yunzheng pretended the same shocked tone: "How can you be literate! Except for wailing, you can speak!"

Shen Wen angrily pointed to Zhang Yunzheng: "You...you..."

Zhang Yunzheng said cheerfully: "What do you know how stupid you are?"

Shen Wen gritted his teeth and said: "Why do I hate you so much!"

Zhang Yunzheng raised his eyebrows high: "Maybe you don't understand a word, but I can introduce it, the word is-jealousy!"

Shen Wen shook his head: "No, I'm not jealous..."

Zhang Yunzheng smiled like she looked down on Shen Wen: "What is that? Forget it! You are so stupid, surely you can't think of it! Work first! To explain so many institutions, I will paint and you will write. Remember, you need to take pictures. Write as I wrote! The handwriting should be good-looking! It is also clear and thin, and the brushwork is elegant, don't embarrass me!"

Shen Wen went crazy: "This is my design, how come it became yours"

Zhang Yunzheng said arrogantly: "You thought it out, but I did it mostly! So it's mine! No matter how much you think about it, it's no use doing it!"

Shen Wen could only succumb dejectedly. When he went to the secret room and wrote text for the illustrations drawn by Zhang Yunzheng, Zhang Yunzheng often had to tell his face to say "the main points are clear." "Here, the small print should have a big atmosphere." "Be calm and calm." "The strokes should be more generous..."

Shen Wen finally yelled: "I'm quit!" Then he yelled out, and he heard five more drum beats outside! Shen Wen was frightened-she watched Zhang Yunzheng's stabbing, but did not hear the drums from Siteng. Shen Wen hurried out of the house, only seeing Dongfang Yuxiao, she rushed towards the Hou Mansion, if anyone saw it, he would definitely suspect it was black lightning.

When she hit her window, the sky had turned gray. Anxious Su Wanniang stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Why are you coming back so late!"

Shen Wen was a little panting: "I... didn't hear... the drum..."

Su Wanniang frowned and asked, "Are you alone, Mr. Zhang, they didn't help you watch." Su Wanniang always thought that Shen Wen was going to see the two brothers of the Zhang family, but she never thought that Shen Wen had been alone in the dark room many times.

Shen Wen could only lie: "Uh, Lord Zhang and they didn't go today."

Su Wanniang was relieved and nodded and said: "It's better to see a foreigner rarely. I'm not afraid of 10,000, just if I let others know..." Amidst her whispering, Shen Wen lay down, still in her heart. Shocked, Yu Bo suddenly asked Su Wanniang: "That Jiangnan Food Memorabilia was written by the second son of the Zhang family, do you believe it?"

Su Wanniang stunned and said, "Why don't you believe that the young man looks very smart."

Shen Wen frowned: "But why do I always think he is a little bastard"

Su Wanniang smiled: "You are biased!"

-----------------------------------

One day when he was going to see Shen Wen again, Zhang Yunzheng went to Li's Fushun Building and swaggered in. The dude hurriedly reported to shopkeeper Jiang, who remembered that Mr. Zhang had said that this master was a little overlord, so he rushed to greet him carefully.

Zhang Yunzheng asked: "Did the clothes I ordered last time come?"

Shopkeeper Jiang hurriedly asked people to say, "Go quickly and get the materials ordered for Mr. Zhang." The man moved over, and Zhang Yunzheng angrily discovered that there was not only a blue Swift he ordered, but also a fat little duck. of. Seeing shopkeeper Jiang's very guarded gaze, Zhang Yunzheng couldn't get angry either, and could only say, "I've got it all!"

Zhang Yunzheng took the material back to Pingyuanhou's Mansion, and was wondering if the material that Zhang Yunming had ordered should be destroyed. He heard that Zhang Yunming was back. He hurriedly went to Ping Yuanhou's study.

Zhang Yunming naturally brought some wind and frost on going out like this, and he was reporting to Ping Yuan Hou about the wine cellar. Zhang Yunzheng went in. Zhang Yunming had already said more than half, but was just summarizing: "Father, we have more than 500 people. Now the houses are almost built and the roads are level. There are mountain springs and forests around that place, which is really convenient for making wine. . Two batches of grain have been shipped, and I also asked someone to build a large warehouse next to it that can store millions of catties. It should be enough to transport it several times a year. The first tank of wine has already come out, so strong, I drink After mixing some water, they are all drunk..."

Zhang Yunzheng heard the interruption and said, "I asked you to build a wine cellar, not to drink!"

Zhang Yunming smiled to Zhang Yunzheng and said, "You have obviously become more capable."

Zhang Yunzheng was very proud of creating the maze, and smiled upright.

Zhang Yunming naturally felt that something was wrong. After Xiang Pingyuanhou left, he came out with Zhang Yunzheng and immediately asked in a low voice, "Quickly, what did you do?"

Zhang Yunzheng brought excitement and said: "We have made a model of the maze, and it is almost done. Brother, you go and have a look, it's really amazing."

That night, Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng went to the courtyard. Zhang Yunming entered the secret room and saw the maze model. He looked at it carefully for a long time, got up and sighed: "Little Fat Duck must have been thinking about this for a long time."

Zhang Yunzheng dissatisfied: "Why don't you tell me that I did a good job?"

Zhang Yunming looked at Zhang Yunzheng again with a little worry: "If a person thinks about the key points of these murderous organs, you say, how poisonous this person's mind will be."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Then I did the same thing! Isn't I also a scorpion-hearted person, don't you just come back from the wine cellar, do you think the wine is made for drinking?"

Zhang Yunming said: "I always feel that if you are a man, you can naturally have these calculations, but as a woman, you should have a husband and a child, and be kind-hearted, and you shouldn't be touched by these things."

Zhang Yunzheng now feels that Shen Wen's previous life must be a very stupid person, otherwise he would not be used so thoroughly that he would not be able to let it go for thousands of years. He could only say: "She is just unlucky and knows these things. If you change it and don't bear it. Yes, maybe you know that you cry all day long and find people everywhere. She has her own opinion and knows how to save people. Isn't that good? Don't pick the bones!"

Zhang Yunming said solemnly: "Have you noticed that every time I say that she is not good, you will try to defend her. This is why you are not doing well with her."

Zhang Yunzheng was angry: "I'm not getting along well with her, it's not something you can say! Moreover, I think we are getting along very well! How else can I make this model? I don't think she is as poisonous as you said."

Zhang Yunming sighed deeply: "I hope so, anyway, I have to stay away from her."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a rustling sound at the door, and Zhang Yunzheng said to Zhang Yunming: "She is here, remember to stay away!"

Chapter 74

Shen Wen's hearing is very good. Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng are talking in the secret room, but the door of the secret room is open, and Shen Wen vaguely hears Zhang Yunzheng say: "I think we are getting along very well! Otherwise, how can I make this model? I think she is not like you. It's so poisonous..." And Zhang Yunming said to "keep away" or something, and he was talking about himself without even thinking about it.

Shen Wen didn't want to eavesdrop on them, so he hurriedly picked up sand and hit the door. When Zhang Yunzheng opened the door, he still had a stinky expression on his face, frowning and saying, "You're late again!"

Shen Wen knew that she was too dark, so she didn't dare to tell her family and Su Wanniang's true background. She didn't respond much to Zhang Yunming's "poison"-she was telling the truth, but she defended herself so much to Zhang Yunzheng. Very touched. Zhang Yunzheng is someone who knows her origins. He quarreled with her so many times and said that she was getting along well with her, and that she was not poisonous...

Thinking about this, Shen Wen immediately felt that Zhang Yunzheng's arrogant tone was not so annoying, and only rolled his eyes at Zhang Yunzheng, and said with a tired voice: "Who is late, aren't you talking or waiting for me."

Zhang Yunming was alert that Shen Wen could hear their conversation. She was afraid that she could hear her bad words. He was busy observing Shen Wen's face and Shen Wen smiled sweetly at him: "How about Master Zhang's return to the wine cellar?"

undefinedZhang Yunming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the chair, drew out the fan and shook it and said, "Why are you not polite and tell me that I have worked hard?"

Shen Wen tilted his head and grinned: "Master Zhang, you have worked hard! Do you need someone to prepare tea..."

Zhang Yunzheng interrupted impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, and get on with business!" Shen Wen didn't even smile at himself, but smiled at Zhang Yunming! Although the smile was false, he still felt uncomfortable.

Shen Wen curled his lips upset at Zhang Yunzheng: "It's not that I want to talk nonsense! Why don't you talk about your brother"

Zhang Yunming said to Zhang Yunzheng: "You really don't have the taste of a literati."

Zhang Yunzheng threw a fist at him: "Quickly answer the question!"

Zhang Yunming recounted the wine cellar thing he had said to Ping Yuanhou in a flat tone.

After hearing this, Shen Wen said: "It is best to fill the granary in the past few months. The drought will become more and more serious in the future. Don't transport grain in the disaster year."

Zhang Yunming nodded and said, "That's right. This time we passed, there have been escapes along the way, and the price of food in various places has risen dozens of times compared with last year." He has bought food in the past and is naturally sensitive to prices.

Shen Wen said: "It's still far from the high price. By the end of the disaster year, a bucket of rice will cost one tael or even two taels of gold."

Zhang Yunming sighed: "It's so expensive!"

Zhang Yunzheng said coldly: "What's the use of money, you can eat gold when you are hungry"

Zhang Yunming said sadly: "Those wines are really gold wines."

Shen Wen looked at him sideways: "That is the life of your father and yourself, and also the life of the third prince, my third brother and the eldest sister."

Zhang Yunming fanned the fan and smiled at Shen Wen detachedly: "I know what you mean. You are asking us to take care of the wine cellar because you are afraid that someone will be greedy for money and make good wine. Don't worry, our Master Song is there now staring at him. It will definitely not be a mistake."

Shen Wen smiled: "Of course I can rest assured when it is in your hands, how can I be worried?" She used the tone of asking people to do things and just talk softly.

Zhang Yunzheng frowned when she heard the tone of Shen Wen's words to Zhang Yunming, and said angrily: "Little liar, what do you want to say!"

Shen Wen glared at him, corrected his tone and asked Zhang Yunming: "My brother asked your family to arrange to follow the prince's staff and the staff in charge of the weapons warehouse are all in place?"

Zhang Yunzheng interrupted again and said, "He went out, where did you know this, why don't you ask me?"

Shen Wen looked at Zhang Yunzheng and ordered: "Then tell me!"

Zhang Yunzheng was angry: "Why don't you use your liar tone!" Why Shen Wen doesn't act like a baby to him

Shen Wen called to Zhang Yunzheng: "What the **** is going on with you! I can't do this, and that's not the case, let me stop talking!" Zhang Yunzheng was particularly manic today.

Zhang Yunming laughed and said to Shen Wen: "You have to be consistent. You can't be soft for a while and pungent for a while. This makes people very confused."

Shen Wen said: "I always use a weak tone, which is in line with my image, but your brother always makes me break my gong!" She said to Zhang Yunzheng, "If I expose one day, it will be your fault, you Be responsible!"

Zhang Yunzheng hummed: "What's the big deal if it's exposed..."

Shen Wen said: "What's the big deal! Don't tell me that you are going to assassinate the prince again!"

Zhang Yunzheng stared and said, "Don't put the words in my mouth! You don't know what I want to say! You are stupid and feel that others are stupid. If you make me angry, I won't tell you my father's arrangements!"

Shen Wen had no choice but to not pursue Zhang Yunzheng's attack, and said discouragedly: "How did your father arrange?"

Zhang Yunzheng was still a little dissatisfied with Shen Wen's tone, but now it's time to discuss matters, and he said with pride: "Our family has always been reliable in doing things: My dad asked people to buy the houses next to the aides' houses. , Anyway, the land is cheap now. Our people moved in to be neighbors for the crown prince's henchmen. You let your third brother listen to the wall without running around, and our people can turn over the wall. As for the weapons storehouse. Several bosses, not only where they live, but even their subordinates, we have stuffed people in. If anything goes wrong, we should know right away."

Shen Wen tut: "The rich are really hateful!"

Zhang Yunming smiled and looked at Shen Wen: "You are so envious that we are rich. We have already earned back the principal this time by buying food. Or else, it will be very profitable for you in the future."

Shen Wenbai gave him a glance: "Whoever wants your money I can't even get out of the yard, how can I spend it?"

Zhang Yunming smiled slyly: "You can be a dowry."

He thought Shen Wen would be shy, but Shen Wen also smiled at him: "Why do you want a dowry, I probably can't marry someone. You think the prince can let me go"

Zhang Yunzheng burst into flames inexplicably: "You are stupid and fat, why doesn't he let you go!"

Shen Wen stuck his tongue out to Zhang Yunzheng: "You are stupid! You think he is troubled by me because I look good. Of course it is to retaliate against me. He is careful."

Zhang Yunming knew the old grudge between the prince and Shen Wen and frowned slightly and said, "Do you need help?"

Shen Wen smiled eagerly: "I can cure him at the age of seven, let alone the future! It's too easy to deal with him, just a few words with one touch of two lips."

Zhang Yunzheng scolded: "Don't be so self-righteous! He is the prince!"

Shen Wen waved his hand: "He is not a problem. Let me tell you that people who are not broad-minded will definitely not be able to do great things. He can't think about it so much and shouldn't have succeeded. In my dream, it was because my family did not take precautions. With the help of Ji Wenzhao, there were a series of measures to benefit the people and govern the country, winning prestige for the prince, so that the courtiers felt that the prince had the ability to govern the country, and no one supported the three princes. Moreover, the queen was in power, and the three princes did not want to be the king... After waiting for reasons, he succeeded. If he had real talents and learning, he would not perish the country after he became the throne. Our real problem is the successive famines, the 500,000 Northern Rong army. We now have food, but we need to make weapons. , There will be a lot of expenses."

Zhang Yunming slapped the fan in a cool manner: "Don't worry about these. Don't say that my mother and the other family are rich and enemies. It is the money we invested. According to your estimation, the price of food will rise by a hundred times. It should be enough for our expenses..."

Zhang Yunzheng cut off Zhang Yunming's words, and asked Shen Wen: "Since you are not afraid of the prince, how can you not marry?"

Shen Wen said disappointedly to him: "You should know that my reputation has long been ruined, and I will be ruined again in the future when I play against the prince. Who dares to ask me."

Zhang Yunming coughed and chose words and sentences: "Maybe, someone just likes you."

Shen Wen rolled his eyes: "Then I have to look at him too! My eyes are so high..."

Zhang Yunzheng interrupted: "It's not bad if you have seen the pigsty railings! Don't go to work!"

Shen Wen grimaced at Zhang Yunzheng: "I'm not your parent worker! I have finished drawing the maze map for what I do. It is enough to check the maze for the last time today." After that, she motioned for two people and three of them to enter the secret room together. , Zhang Yunming closed the door of the secret room.

Shen Wen and Zhang Yunzheng read the numbers and compared the detailed maps one by one, and went through the key graphics and texts of each agency, and then Shen Wen carefully read Zhang Yunzheng's general map again, and stood up and said: "There should be nothing to change. ."

Zhang Yunming listened and watched from the sidelines, and then said: "It can trap ten thousand people."

Shen Wen smiled: "That won't work."

Zhang Yunzheng hummed: "Of course not. There are 500,000 people in Beirong. What's the use of people who die? This lost city must be built in Yancheng. If it takes time, there should be at least 50,000."

Shen Wen nodded: "Yes, given time, they will encircle Yancheng for three to four months, and it is not too many to die four to five hundred people every day."

Zhang Yunming nodded: "This is your purpose for those craftsmen"

Shen Wen said: "Almost. After New Year, I started to draw weapon maps, and I have to find people to make weapons, and those craftsmen will also make weapons."

Zhang Yunzheng frowned: "Why do I feel uncomfortable when I hear you say you want to draw a picture? I seem to see a lot of ants crawling around."

Shen Wen smiled, and coquettishly said to Zhang Yunzheng: "Then you can help me!" with a trembling sound.

Zhang Yunzheng breathed out of his nose, but did not refute.

Zhang Yunming said solemnly: "We have a taboo for weapons, and the folks cannot study and manufacture them. This maze map must be sent to the border checkpoint, right? Is the weapon map also sent to the border checkpoint for military manufacturing?"

Shen Wen dragged his voice and said with a smile: "It's not completely true. Send it there. The spies over there must have known it. He said that my father made weapons. Isn't it conspiring to rebel? Your father has so many people. Let's give it to you first. Make weapons, some can be used to arm volunteers, and some can be transported to the border. Of course, a copy of the drawing will be sent to the border.

Zhang Yunzheng smiled like this a long time ago: "I know that you must be fine with speaking like this!"

Zhang Yunming also sighed: "It is a big crime to make weapons privately, you are really welcome."

Shen Wen's head tilted and said coquettishly: "Why are you polite? My two brothers are at the frontier. There are the emperor and the prince in the mansion. I don't rely on who you are! Your father is so thoughtful, just made it. Weapons, for sure, will not be discovered by people, are they sweet and gentle, but both Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng shuddered.

Zhang Yunming said: "I'm afraid of you, stop talking like that!"

Shen Wen pouted: "You are not strong! The maze is completed today, I invite you to eat wontons!"

Zhang Yunzheng scorned: "Don't say you please! It's definitely not you who will pay by the time, mean!"

Shen Wen said loudly: "I really brought money this time!"

Zhang Yunzheng immediately said, "Then please eat better!" See if you have enough money!

Shen Wen raised his face: "These three in the middle of the night, except for the wonton stall, where there is food."

Zhang Yunming smiled and said: "We have it in our house, or else, please invite Miss Shen Er to have a meal in our house."

Shen Wen said hurriedly: "Then it is too unruly. Then you send me to the wonton stall, and help me buy a bowl of wonton... I brought the money, I will definitely give you money, and I won't owe you!"

Zhang Yunming sighed and shook the fan: "Okay, let our family pay a million taels of silver and behead the crime, but if you pay for a wonton for one or two dollars, you don't think you owe us anymore!"

Shen Wen was surprised: "Do I mean this?"

Zhang Yunzheng gave Shen Wen a sideways look: "It's pretty beautiful if you don't owe you! Don't even think about clapping your hands and not recognizing anything."

Shen Wen pretended to be timid and asked: "Do you still want me to pay back the money"

Zhang Yunming smiled and asked, "Will you?"

Shen Wen immediately said firmly: "Of course not!" She pointed to the big picture and the small picture of the maze and said: "These must be hidden well. I have to take it with me when I was fourteen when I went to the border."

Zhang Yunzheng asked immediately: "You are going to the border"

Shen Wen nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhang Yunming shook his head: "You little girl, if you send pictures, I or my brother will do."

Shen Wen said seriously: "I have to go, I want to go there to do business."

Zhang Yunzheng asked with a black face, "What's the matter?"

Shen Wen glanced at the past, "I won't tell you!" with a very serious tone.

Zhang Yunming smiled and asked: "How are you going?"

Shen Wen thought for a while. Although she knew the road when she went to the border, she was a woman after all. There are many inconveniences in the journey. It is best if someone is escorted and smiled again and said in a good voice, "Can you let your father send ten? A few people gave us a gift"

Zhang Yunming laughed: "You change your face and become so smooth."

Zhang Yunzheng said coldly: "Who are you'we'"

Because he asked Pingyuan Hou Mansion to do something, Shen Wen had to answer: "Oh, there is a doctor with a few women."

Zhang Yunzheng said impatiently: "Just so few people still want to go to the border! People have been killed a hundred times on the road! Stupid!"

Shen Wen was about to reply, but thinking that he was begging someone to do something, he had to furrow his eyebrows, pouting, and look at Zhang Yunzheng with an unhappy expression. Zhang Yunzheng immediately turned his face away from Shen Wen.

Zhang Yunming smiled and said, "This should be fine."

Shen Wen said hurriedly, "Oh, there must be a carriage, food, enough silver, and people must be reliable..."

Zhang Yunzheng interrupted: "It's alright, he said it's okay, why don't you go, it's late." He picked up the picture and hid it in the secret cave.

The three people came out of the secret room. Zhang Yunzheng picked up a small package from the chair and threw it in front of Shen Wen, saying, "This is the corner of my mother's new night clothes in Shunfu Building. You are so short, use it! "

Zhang Yunming once again slapped his hand with a fan and laughed.

Shen Wen stared: "Who wants you! You can't deceive people where there is nocturnal clothes. You are stupid to say that!"

Zhang Yunzheng said arrogantly: "No matter how stupid it is, it can't be a stupid pig who can't hold the material in hand!"

Zhang Yunming exclaimed: "This is almost a tongue twister, it's hard for you to make it so clear." He looked at Shen Wen, "You must not be able to take the next sentence."

Shen Wen picked up the small package to hit Zhang Yunzheng: "You little bastard!"

Zhang Yunming hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Forget it, if you lose the right sentence, just listen to him. Moreover, you have accepted it once, so let's continue this time."

Shen Wen was shocked again: "You didn't pay for the clothes last time!"

Zhang Yunzheng rushed and said: "It was paid to the little fat pig. Is it appropriate to wear?"

Shen Wen's heart suddenly moved, and he looked at Zhang Yunzheng with a bit of dementia. Zhang Yunzheng had a bad expression, one eyebrow was still raised, and Shen Wen's face was a little red, holding the package and saying, "I always run here. , Thank you very much."

Shen Wen suddenly changed his tone. Zhang Yunzheng stumbled, feeling a little bit angrily at once, and said, "Who wants you to be so serious." It sounded like he was disappointed that Shen Wen hadn't quarreled with him.

A thought flashed in Shen Wen's mind--Zhang Yunzheng was imprisoned for so long, did he use fighting to communicate with Zhang Yunming? If so, he actually didn't know how to interact with people normally, probably only through fighting. Or arguing to express emotions. Thinking of this, Shen Wen looked at Zhang Yunzheng again, and Zhang Yunzheng was squinting at Shen Wen contemptuously. This time, Shen Wen was not angry, but instead smiled at him. Zhang Yunzheng grunted coldly, his eyelids drooping, and his nose turned up. Up.

The three people left the courtyard and arrived at the place where there used to be wonton stalls, but they saw that the street was dark and there were no wonton stalls. The three of them stood on a tall roof and looked around. Everywhere they looked was black.

Shen Wen was puzzled. He jumped down and walked a few steps on the street before he suddenly said: "I have been too attentive these months and have not paid attention to outside affairs. Now is a famine year! Food is in short supply, and food prices are expensive. This trade can't be done. Let's say goodbye here."

Seeing that Shen Wen was about to leave, Zhang Yunzheng provoked the flames of war: "Congratulations! No need to spend money!"

Shen Wen whispered to Zhang Yunzheng, "Don't you just don't know how to get along with people? It's actually nothing, just don't say bad things."

Zhang Yunzheng showed white teeth to Shen Wen: "Partially speaking! Partially speaking ill of you!"

Shen Wen also bared his teeth at him: "Then I will say you too! Little bastard!"

"You just told me not to say bad things about me last time, little liar!"

"That's when I waited for you to say that I won't say bad things about me in the future..."

Zhang Yunming stopped this kind of nutrient-free conversation in time, and whispered: "Stop! Don't tell me! Now I say,'Have a good year, good luck', we probably won't meet before the end of the year, we want to be lucky. "

Zhang Yunzheng and Shen Wen talked to each other for a while, and almost said at the same time: "I wish you a good year, good luck..."

Zhang Yunming was satisfied, and said, "All go home! See you in the next year!"

Shen Wen smiled and waved at the two people, and Fei ran away.

Zhang Yunming looked at Shen Wen's back and exclaimed: "She runs so fast!"

Zhang Yunzheng refused to accept: "Unhappy! I can catch up with her sooner or later!"

Zhang Yunming asked in a low voice, "Did you give her the material we ordered last time?"

Zhang Yunzheng immediately said: "I ordered it, yours is too ugly, I can't get it."

Zhang Yunming laughed in a low voice, Zhang Yunzheng's figure disappeared in a flash, and Zhang Yunming had to go back to the house alone.

Shen Wen ran back holding the clothes in a particularly good mood. When I arrived in the room, when I gave Su Wanniang the clothes material, she said, "It's a New Year's gift." She didn't explain much. Su Wanniang opened it the next day and almost laughed: There was a gift of clothes for the new year, but Shen Wen could use it, so she didn't think much about it.

Soon after Shen Wen got up the next day, Shen Qiang, Shen Wei and Shen Yu came to her to make trouble. The Fuzhong is busy preparing for the New Year, and the Yang family and the Liu family are very busy. There is really no one to take care of these small ones. If they go to other people's yards, they have to abide by the rules, but here in Shen Wen, they can almost arbitrarily turn back. Any powder box, any jewelry, can move around, so a few children especially like to come to Shen Wen. As soon as he came in, he opened the locker to hide and seek and ran back and forth in front of Shen Wen.

Shen Wen watched these children tossing in her room, thinking that she must be so happy because of the children's happiness and the New Year's festive atmosphere.

---------------------------------------

On the first day of the new year, the emperor led the prince and his concubines to the Taimiao to worship their ancestors. The eulogy and blessing reverberated inside and outside the Taimiao in the cigarettes.

In the remote cold palace, Jia Jingfei didn't miss the glory of leading the harem at this time in the past, but looked at the bright red blood that she had just vomited out of the handkerchief, and she slumped on her pillow.

Although she vaguely felt that she could not get better, she had never really faced death. This mouthful of blood brought a hazy shadow to her in front of her. She felt cold all over and almost fainted.

It turned out to be so close! Suddenly, her mind became clearer, the noise that interfered with her thinking disappeared, and the hidden dangers became clear and visible. She very much wanted to call the prince and the fourth princess immediately, but she knew that this was the time to worship the ancestors, and, in the first month, coming to see her in the cold palace was an unlucky place, she did not want them to come, she could only wait After fifteen, the new year has passed.

The prince and the fourth princess did not come. At night, in the occasional cough of Concubine Jia Jing, the long-lost shadow entered the cold palace.

In the cold wind, the shadow listened to Jia Jingfei's laborious gasps for a long time before drifting away quietly. When passing the imperial garden, where Chen Guifei closed her eyes, the shadow stopped and asked in a low voice: "You see "She is in pain, just like you did.

The wind rustled through the dead branches, and after a while, the shadow disappeared.

After a year, the prince finally came to Leng Gong. He knew that Jia Jingfei had been in poor health, but when he saw Jia Jingfei suddenly, he was still taken aback. Only one year later, Jia Jingfei's eyes had very obvious black dizziness, and there was also a circle of cyan on her lips.

The crown prince paid a New Year's greeting to Jia Jing, Jia Jing concubine motioned people to put a pillow behind her and let herself sit up a little so that she could look at the prince.

After the prince saluted, he sat in front of the bed and didn't know what to say. In his own heart, he also thought that Jia Jingfei was depressed because of her abandonment, and even sickened. And he himself is the initiator, facing his mother, he always feels heavy. Even if Jia Jingfei didn't accuse him, he seemed to be able to see a trace of blame in Jia Jingfei's eyes.

Jia Jingfei tried to open her eyes to see the prince. The prince was twenty-three years old, and he was a man in his youthful years, but his face was not energetic, and there was some fatigue in his eyebrows.

Concubine Jia Jing swallowed the sweet smell in her mouth and said in a low voice: "Your sister's...marriage...must choose...Changle Houfu..."

Concubine Jia Jing has said so many times about this incident. In the past, she said she was looking for someone else, but recently she has identified the Changle Houfu. The crown prince was a little impatient, but seeing Concubine Jia Jing's sickly face, she didn't dare to make Concubine Jia Jing angry, so he could only agree: "Okay, I will try my best to do it."

Concubine Jia Jing pursed her lips and said, "Better, let your uncle... come and see me..."

This is not an easy task. After Changle Hou enters the cold palace and sees the abolition, what would he think if he let the emperor know about it?

The prince frowned.

Jia Jingfei sighed: "I also know... difficult... but... you try your best..."

The prince nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, mother, I will try my best." If I try my best, it may not be possible.

Concubine Jia Jing hasn't spoken for a long time. The prince thought she was tired and was about to leave. Concubine Jia Jing closed her eyes and said, "How do I feel...I have done so many things wrong over the years..."

The prince asked puzzledly: "What is the mother saying?"

Concubine Jia Jing sighed again: "When you were just born, you were so young... I said in my heart... I must treat you well and protect you..."

The prince said hurriedly: "Thank you for your mother's nurturing. The child will never forget it."

Jia Jingfei shook her head slightly: "But I don't have..."

The prince remembered why his mother was abolished, and hurriedly said: "The mother has the gift of rebuilding and saving lives for the child, and the child will never be able to repay the mother of the three springs!"

Jia Jingfei opened her eyes, closed them again, and sighed: "I should treat you... better..."

The prince hurriedly replied: "Where did the mother talk about the mother's help to the child, the child will be engraved in his heart."

Concubine Jia Jing wriggled her dry lips: "I can't help you much, but fortunately... your wife and concubines... are all powerful homes in Chaozhong...especially the Lu family...three phases and one door, the influence... is deeply rooted... you must Be well... to Lu's..."

The prince's anger burned all at once, and the Lu family let his concubines wait for the women in the harem to abort one after another, and the family behind them was not happy. It can be said that the Lu family alienated himself from the closeness of other families. He wanted to complain to his mother about Lu's viciousness, but he looked at Jia Jingfei's sickness, suppressed his anger, and only sighed, "It's just that we haven't had any children all these years..."

Jia Jingfei said: "Don't worry, you are still young, children, sooner or later, you can have it, but the support of the court... can't be without..." At the end of her speech, her breath was weak.

The prince also understood that it would be harmful and unprofitable to leave the Lu family now, so he could only acquiesce to his mother's words.

Concubine Jia Jing did not speak for a long time, and the prince finally saluted and said: "Mother take a good rest, and the child will do something first."

Concubine Jia Jing nodded slightly and said, "Let your sister... come..."

The prince hurriedly responded and walked out of the cold palace and asked the fourth princess to come to see Concubine Jia Jing. Fearing that the fourth princess would say that she still wanted to marry into Pingyuanhou's mansion, she waited outside until the fourth princess came.

Holding the hand warmer in his hand, the prince stomped his feet back and forth. After waiting for a long time, the palace of the four princesses arrived.

The prince held back his anger and said to the four princesses who came by Xia Hu: "Mother has a bad complexion. You can answer whatever she says. She still wants you to marry into the Changle Hou Mansion, so don't say anything to her. Thing."

The fourth princess said unhappily: "I really don't understand my mother! There are not many people in the Changle Houfu! I marry an idiot, and then let the fifth princess marry the luxurious and wealthy Prince Hou Pingyuan, I She can't swallow this breath if she doesn't believe her! What does she think?"

The prince's feet were almost freezing, and he hurriedly said: "She is ill now, don't argue with her. We just need to do what we should do. She can't do anything anyway."

The fourth princess smiled: "It's better to be the prince brother! Now my mother can't count on it, so don't leave me alone!"

The prince said: "Why do you marry well, it is also a good thing for this palace."

The four princesses nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes! Although Ping Yuanhou is a false title, there is a lot of gold and silver in the house. I will marry in the future, and I will give as much as the prince brother wants."

Although the crown prince felt that the four princesses who were almost fifteen were a bit whimsical, he somewhat agreed with her opinion-if she became the eldest daughter-in-law of Ping Yuan Hou, she would end up as the head of the Ping Yuan Hou Mansion. Yuan Hou and his wife blocked the way. The four princesses only need to have a second-hand arm of the queen in the palace, and they don't know how they died. What's more, there is also herself, the prince, the future emperor, supporting her.

The two brothers and sisters say goodbye, and the fourth princess enters the cold palace to see Concubine Jia Jing.

Only when she saw her mother did the four princesses take off their veil. She put down her veil, and when she saw Concubine Jia Jing's appearance, she was a little bit crying: "Mother! How do you feel when you look at the sickness again..."

Concubine Jia Jing didn't speak, and when the four princesses had finished speaking, she said slowly: "Hello...Listen to me..."

The fourth princess nodded and said, "Mother, please say, I will listen."

Concubine Jia Jing seemed to gather the strength of her whole body, and said clearly: "You...must...marry the son of Changle Houfu..."

As soon as the fourth princess was about to refute, remembering what the prince said, she bit her lip and said nothing.

Concubine Jia Jing opened her eyes and looked at the four princesses, with a faint red on her face: "Changle Houfu... these years... only eating, drinking and playing, not in politics..."

The fourth princess murmured: "That's right, those sons, one by one, they didn't work, and they didn't look good..."

Concubine Jia Jing gasped: "If you marry, if...in case...your brother...you will still be alive..."

The four princesses opened their eyes wide: "What are you talking about! Brother is a prince! He will be the emperor in the future. Now, except for him, the third emperor does not care about the government at all, and the fourth emperor is a lame man. In the future, except for his brother, who can be the emperor?"

Concubine Jia Jing calmed down for a long time before she stabilized her breath: "Your brother..." She hesitated for a long time, but still didn't say why, but she closed her eyes and sighed: "You are a mother, I am... for your good."

The fourth princess flattened her mouth in dissatisfaction: "If my mother is confused, if it is for my good, she should use the power her mother has built over the years to find me a family that is both rich and noble, such as Pingyuan Houfu..." She stopped. under.

Concubine Jia Jing tried to open her eyes again and said desperately: "You still... haven't given up your mind... that's not... someone you can provoke... even your father... can't underestimate him..."

The fourth princess replied: "No matter how old he is, he is not a courtier, but he dare not rebel! Marrying a princess is the blessing of their house!"

Jia Jingfei coughed, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and completely hid the spitting liquid in the dark handkerchief, dried her lips, and then removed the handkerchief.

The fourth princess brought a cup of tea on the table to Jia Jingfei. Jia Jingfei took the fourth princess's hand and drank it. After sighing, she lay back on the pillow, closed her eyes and said weakly: "You are filial to your parents and listen to me. If it's the case, it's okay to be a mother... please..."

She waited for a long time, but did not hear the fourth princess answer, and tried to open her eyes. The fourth princess frowned and looked upset.

Concubine Jia Jing was trembling in her heart and stretched out her hands to the fourth princess: "Daughter! How can you...not listen to your mother"

The four princesses have been stubborn and hot since they were young, and have never been restrained from inside or outside. She used to be dressed as a queen, sitting on a high chair carved with a phoenix, and she could still hear what she said. But now that my mother is so sick and incompetent, she must be confused. Forced by her mother's bitter feelings, the fourth princess really couldn't hold back the fire and stood up abruptly: "Mother didn't think about me at all! The fifth princesses who were so mean wanted to marry Ping Yuanhou's eldest son, how can I? Why can't she be afraid that something will happen in the past? She doesn't have a prince brother yet! My mother wants me to marry a mediocre and incompetent husband, what does this mean! How can I see people in my life, I might as well die!" said After turning around, I left without saying goodbye.

Concubine Jia Jing looked at the fourth princess's back and her chest suddenly ache, as if torn. She lay on the bed and did not dare to move for a long time, breathing gently. When the pain passed, she knew that she was crying, but the tears were already cold, and she felt chilly on the sideburns.

Chapter 75

The other in the palace who had passed the New Year in a gloomy mood was the Fourth Prince.

He hasn't seen Su Wanniang for a long time. It's been half a year since Shen Jian left the junior year, and he learned from the gossip that when the third prince sent Shen Jian out of the city, Miss Shen was actually in the team! The four princes secretly envy strongly!

When the two of them went to see her husband together a few years ago, the four princes made inquiries about the process of the third prince's trip, and found that the third prince was not close to Shen Xiang, who had gone to see him off.

The fourth prince privately thought that the third prince was too dull! If you can ride out by yourself, the person you like is in the team, and you have to get together to give something or something, even if it is rejected, it is considered a catch-up.

No wonder the third prince was absent-minded half a year ago and was often admonished by his husband. At that time, the fourth prince was worried because the policy theory he wrote on behalf of the third prince was not good enough, which made the husband lose his temper. So the four princes tried their best to read the books and delve into the classics, in order to write far-sighted policies and to alleviate the condemnation of the three princes. Now that I understood what was going on, the four princes no longer sympathized with him at all. It was a pity that he had worked hard at that time.

undefinedHope for the stars and the moon, and finally waited until the fifteenth of the first lunar month. In the past, the Fourth Prince always saw Su Wanniang on the Lantern Festival's Lantern Street. This year, he also looked forward to it.

Come together in the morning of the Lantern Festival, the four princes picked out the clothes to wear at night from dozens of pieces of clothes-very elegant and very noble! When it was dark, the fourth prince got into the carriage and waited on the Dengshi Street.

------------------------------------------

Shen Wen ran back and forth at night for several months, feeling really tired. After the Chinese New Year, I didn't have to do anything, and I was really lazy at home every day.

But in a blink of an eye, the year passed, and it was the Lantern Festival. Shen Wen didn't want to go out, but wanted Su Wanniang to go out with Shen Xiang and the others. Su Wanniang usually went out a few times as a relief.

So early in the morning, when Su Wanniang was dressing up for Shen Wen, Shen Wen said: "You follow my sister and the others to see the lights. I'll just be at home."

Su Wanniang also thought of the four princes in her heart, looking forward to meeting them on Deng Street, she smiled and bit her lower lip, and said hesitantly: "Miss... also... let's go together..."

Shen Wen closed his eyes and touched his surroundings. There was no one, so he whispered: "I don't want to move anymore. Go, maybe you can see our brother-in-law. People say the Lantern Festival is a festival for lovers to meet..."

Su Wanniang pulled Shen Wen's hair severely, and whispered: "You are talking nonsense again!"

Shen Wen said lowly: "What is nonsense, originally..."

Su Wanniang hurriedly interrupted: "What kind of person do you want to find in the future?"

Shen Wen smiled and said, "Of course he is gentle, considerate, knows the cold and knows the heat..." At this point, Shen Wen suddenly stopped and sat upright from the chair in shock, because Su Wanniang was combing her hair. I didn't feel any pain even after being pulled back.

Su Wanniang laughed softly: "You know you don't know how to be ashamed..."

But Shen Wen didn't hear her, her heart thumped, and she was frightened in a cold sweat-isn't this what she wanted in her previous life! At that time, she worked out the appearance of her husband in her heart, and then according to the picture, she chose Zheng Qian, who was most in line with her aspirations! I still feel very satisfied with my false and peaceful life that year! Before being strangled to death, I didn't understand what was wrong.

At that time, I was full of all kinds of rules and regulations, consciously aloft, and endlessly talking about everything around me to summarize and criticize on the line: the old lady, dull and confused; the Yang family, no education, no appearance of a mistress; Shen Xiang, reckless and rude, is not worthy of the name of Miss Hou Mansion; sister-in-law, boring and mediocre, without the majesty of being a mistress; second sister-in-law, a lascivious daughter, not like a boudoir...

In their own eyes, all people do not conform to a certain dogma. He is the most knowledgeable and intelligent person! The Hou Mansion is so chaotic! She couldn't even hear her mother's loud voice, nor could she see Shen Xiang's expression of contempt towards her! Can't stand the happy laughs and scolding between a few brothers! She feels that the people next to her are not as mentally as her own! They know what they think is right! No matter how you look at other people's! ...

In the end, she could only ignore the words and deeds of her relatives and ignore them! Hidden depressed in his yard every day, weaving the beauty of his future life: an elegant, gentle, knowledgeable and affectionate husband who obeys his words and is considerate. Quiet and orderly mansion, obedient and filial children... All people must be polite, otherwise they are rude! Life should be performed according to the script written by yourself, otherwise it will be messy and boring! If someone challenges her point of view, then she thinks the other person is ignorant and stupid...

At that moment of life and death, the rigid and useless dogma in her mind only made her feel confused and at a loss. She cried again and again in the "quiet and orderly" house she got, unable to understand what was wrong.

How many years of regret after her death, she saw how superficial and ridiculous her self-righteous thoughts were, and how naive the judgments restricted by limited knowledge were...

Thousands of years later, is she going to make the same mistake again!

Shen Wen murmured: "No, I don't want to find anyone..."

Su Wanniang inserted the last little hairpin into Shen Wen's hair bun, and said with a smile: "What is this, Miss will marry someone sooner or later."

Shen Wen shook her head slowly, Su Wanniang looked at Shen Wen's expression, sat next to her, smiled and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Wen looked at Su Wanniang and said seriously: "This time, I don't want anything!"

Su Wanniang smiled suddenly, "What does this mean?"

Shen Wen carefully considered it and said, "Sister Wanniang, let me tell you, in this world, if you ask for something for selfishness, first, you will definitely not get it; second, if you get it, the price you will pay is also inevitable. It is extremely painful. Therefore, one cannot ask for anything or anyone for one's own sake. Those who are together for the other's money, tenderness, company, loyalty, etc., will definitely not get it in the end."

Su Wanniang was taken aback: "These are all good things, why can't you ask for them"

Shen Wen frowned and explained: "To ask, to ask, is to ask, anyway, you can't use these as the purpose..."

Su Wanniang patted her chest, "I understand what you mean! These are like other people's things. You can't stay with them just because they have these good things... But that's not right, if the other party has money, Tender and loyal...isn't it good?"

Shen Wen said: "It's not bad, or from the very beginning, you can't use these as the purpose. For example, just now I said to find someone who is gentle and treats me well. I found one based on this idea, and finally, definitely If you can't get the so-called'good for me', if you can't make it, it's still a'bad for me'." Shen Wen said here, with a heavy tone.

Su Wanniang nodded and said, "Oh, you mean, someone wants to find someone rich. If they marry because they are'rich', and in the end they won't get the money, there are people everywhere who marry rich people for money."

Shen Wen said: "Even if I got it, the price paid was extremely painful, and she will regret it in the future."

Su Wanniang also agreed: "It should be so, I also heard my mother say that if she marries a wealthy family for money, few are happy."

Shen Wen said: "So, I don't want, I don't want anything!"

Su Wanniang frowned slightly: "Don't you want to'few husbands and wives and always be partners'"

Shen Wen replied: "I will not aim at those. Sister Wanniang, suppose, suppose, you live to be a hundred years old, and suddenly one day, you return to your childhood and you can live again. How would you live?" After speaking, Shen Wen looked at Su Wanniang nervously and observed Su Wanniang's reaction.

Su Wanniang just thought for a moment, and then replied: "I heard that when people are old, they are particularly afraid of death. If I am old and old, but can live again, then I must be very happy, and I will definitely feel that it is a gift from God. Gave me another life. I must cherish all people and experience everything that happened. I understand everything that I didn't understand before, and I can't live it in vain."

Shen Wen nodded and said: "Yes, this should be the original intention: cherish all people, experience everything, and be a sensible person. Sister Wanniang, this time, I just want to open my eyes and see through people and things. Appearance, discover the truth inside. Open your mind and accept all chaos and changes!"

Su Wanniang finally realized something suddenly and looked at Shen Wen with a little shock: "This time," Shen Wen was born again after a hundred years old or she stuttered: "But...but...don't you marry Is there anymore?

Shen Wen said: "I have a path that I want to take. Now I want to keep my home from being destroyed. I will arrange a place for my home in the future. On this road, there may be people walking with me. However, I don't ask for it. Accompanying, don't ask for tenderness, don't ask for'get', I don't want anything!"

Su Wanniang suddenly said: "I understand what my mother said: You can't expect others to be kind to you, you have to be kind to others. That's what she meant. If people want to find someone who is good to oneself from the beginning, surely Can't get it!" She immediately reflected on her relationship with the fourth prince. She didn't have any utilitarian requirements. If it was the first wife or something, it was also inferior consideration: she definitely didn't marry the fourth prince to become the first wife. In the beginning, it should be sympathy and no selfish desire... She secretly relieved.

Shen Wen said sadly: "If you have to fly with wings, you don't envy mandarin ducks and immortals. People regard 'Biyi' so importantly, but in fact, the moment they pursue it, they stay away from it."

Su Wanniang nodded slowly and said, "I know what you mean. If you go to find someone for a 'Biyi', it's hard to get what you want. Like sand, the tighter you hold it, the more you can't keep it."

Shen Wen clarified his thoughts and said with a smile to Su Wanniang: "Don't worry, our brother-in-law has already decided."

Su Wanniang hit Shen Wen vigorously, and scolded: "You are so blind, so that people can hear...I'll get you breakfast." Blushing, she got up and went out. In fact, she didn't think about the words of Biyi any more, but carefully pondered Shen Wen's phrase "I am this time", thinking that rebirth can really explain Shen Wen's prophetic foresight. She had been with Shen Wen for a long time, and she didn't feel terrible. Since Shen Wen hadn't said it clearly, she didn't ask carefully, just let Shen Wen feel at ease.

Shen Wen thought that Su Wanniang was going to the Lantern Market with Shen Xiang and the others. It should be okay, so after the Lantern Festival dinner, Su Wanniang was off, and she stayed in front of the Yang family and the old lady to play with Shen Qiang and other children. In front of the elders, they behaved to please them, and left a soft impression on everyone. They didn't expect anything to happen in the lamp market.

After dinner, Shen Xiang bid farewell to the Yang family, and returned to his courtyard with Chunlv to prepare for his trip to the Lantern Market. Su Wanniang followed them to Shen Xiang's yard. Shen Xiang was still in a red uniform, and her maid, Chunlu, probably wore green to set off her. Su Wanniang was originally wearing the dark maid costume of the Zhenbeihou Mansion, with her hair covering most of her face. Shen Xiang felt that his sister didn't understand anything, and it took a lot of effort to help Su Wanniang for so many years. Now Su Wanniang is hanging out with them, and even her maid does not wear the daily clothes of the maid in the house, how can she let Su Wanniang dress up in the costume of a maid. Su Wanniang also secretly hoped to see the four princes, women who are pleased to herself, although she doesn't want to be too eye-catching, but it doesn't matter if she dresses well, so she listened to Shen Xiang's words and dressed up a bit, but in fact it was just blocking the usual The bangs and sideburns, who had covered most of his face, were combed out a bit, revealing his face. Because Shen Xiang is about the same height as Su Wanniang, she must make Su Wanniang wear a dark purple series of jacket skirts that she has never been up to, setting off Su Wanniang's delicate white jade complexion.

Su Wanniang looked at the new clothes on her, and felt a little inappropriate and said, "That's not good..."

Shen Xiang said, "It looks good! My mother made it for me. I don't like this color. You are dressed just right, so stop mumbling."

Spring Green also said: "You look so beautiful in your dress! You know our eldest lady wears nothing except red. The lady made several other colors and they were all pressed there."

Su Wanniang said: "Let's give it to you." Chunlu is Shen Xiang's personal maid.

Chunlu smiled and said, "Miss, I want to give it to me, but where can I be so tall as you are, I can't wait for ten or eight years."

The three girls smiled and went out, it was completely dark. When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, people said that the three young masters had been waiting outside the gate with the guard for a long time. The three quickly got on the carriage, the carriage left the inner courtyard, and Shen Zhuo led a team to the lamp market.

Shen Xiang and Su Wanniang had practiced martial arts, and they knew what she looked like a long time ago. Seeing her showing her face, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Chunlu knew that Su Wanniang was beautiful, but after seeing each other for so many years, there was no sense of surprise. They all underestimated the reactions of others.

When they arrived near the lamp market, the three girls got out of the car and walked towards the lamp market in the front and back guards of the guards.

Although the year is not good, the impact on the capital is not so great, and people want to pray for a good harvest by hanging lanterns and festoons, so the lantern market is still brilliant. At first, it was just that the guards of the Zhenbeihou Mansion kept watching the three girls uncontrollably, and then everyone on the road looked back and stopped. When it came to the lamp market, Shen Zhuo, who led the team, found that many people had gathered around him. He was surprised and turned his head inadvertently. He took a breath when he saw Shen Xiang and the others.

The three girls are all fourteen or five years old, and they were originally the beautiful years of Du Mu's poems of "sweeping for more than thirteen years, cardamom shoots in early February". Su Wanniang's appearance is even more outstanding. Under the light, Su Wanniang's eyebrows are like indigo, her eyes are like autumn water, her complexion is jade, her lips are like vermilion, and she is not as beautiful as a woman on earth. Shen Zhuo just didn't know that Su Wanniang's previous life could make the city allure under her skirts, and at this time she also understood that Su Wanniang's beauty was a national treasure.

The three of Shen Xiang talked and laughed to each other as they walked. Shen Zhuo wanted to remind Shen Xiang, but found that it was already too late. They have just walked a hundred steps in the lamp market, and people have gathered into a wall, blocking their way forward and backward. In the beginning, just pointing and pointing, then some people leaned forward, and some people greeted others loudly. In ancient times, there was "Watching Killing Guards", and the crowd at this time reproduced that crowded trend.

Shen Zhuo did not have his elder brothers to go with him this year, and he and Lao Guan were escorting him, and for insurance he took a few more people than in previous years. Now that I saw this situation, I knew it was bad, turned around and walked to Shen Xiang's side and said, "Let's go back soon!"

Originally, Shen Xiang was talking to Su Wanniang. When she looked up, she saw that there were people around. Some people still had the kind of punch that should flash in their eyes. He immediately nodded in agreement and turned to look at Su Wanniang. Su Wanniang also found an abnormality. , Hurry up and lower your head vigorously. She was very annoyed by her carelessness, why should she pull her hair up and cover her face? Although she knew she was good-looking, she never felt that she was top-notch beauty. After all, seeing a face thousands of times will make you feel tired. Besides, girls rarely are satisfied with their looks.

When they walked back, the people became even more reluctant. Someone shouted: "Come and see! The beauty is leaving!" The crowd immediately became as large as a snowball, and people in the streets and alleys in the distance heard the word of mouth. Coming from all directions, it finally became a spectacle of tens of thousands of people.

Twenty guards and servants of the Hou Mansion formed a circle. Shen Zhuo took the lead and opened the way. Shen Xiang and Chunlu, holding Su Wanniang between them, struggled to squeeze out from the crowd and turn back to the carriage parked in the Hou Mansion. These guards also saw Su Wanniang's beauty just now, and now they are working hard to protect her. Some guards shouted: "We are Zhenbeihoufu! Get out! This is Zhenbeihoufu, you don't want to die!"

But at the moment of beauty, people really forget their lives. No matter how the guards shouted or threatened or punched and kicked, people just surrounded them tightly. In just a short distance, the guards rushed out of the encirclement and sent Shen Xiangsu Wanniang Chun Lu into the carriage. . As soon as they entered the carriage, people couldn't see their faces, and they only vented somewhat. Shen Zhuo led the people again and yelled out the people who were in the way, and finally left the light market.

The four princes had long been guarding near the entrance of Dengjie, and he saw it when a group of people from Zhenbeihou Mansion walked this way. But before he could find an excuse to approach them, he saw people hurriedly passing by him, and everyone said: "Go and see! Go and see! Beauty!"

The fourth prince felt tight, and walked a few steps over there with his lame legs, but he couldn't squeeze it anymore. He immediately turned around, holding the hand of Ding Naibu, looking left and right, found a teahouse on the side of the street, went up the second floor, and squeezed among a large group of tea shoppers who were watching from the window, watching the turbulence on the street. The crowd of people mixed with the people from the Zhenbei Houfu passed by from a distance. Between Cong Cong's head, no one could see the face of Su Wanniang and only heard people say: "Have you seen the woman in the Zhenbei Houfu, she looks so beautiful? !"

"Really!"

"Really! Like a fairy!"

"Who is that?"

"do not know......"

"Eh, do you remember that I bought a brothel woman in the Zhenbeihou Mansion a few years ago"

"Hey! Don't tell me! Since it's a brothel, it must be beautiful!"

"Is it better now?"

"What beautiful? That's stunning!"

"No wonder! A few princes bought it at the time, right"

"No, it's that very stupid Miss Shen Er!"

"You are true to your heart!"

"Why not! At first, for this matter, you forgot that the eldest prince is the prince, and you also found the brothel girl to expose the shortness of the second Miss Shen on the street!"

"Exposure to the shortcomings, is it true that he has taken a fancy to himself, and he is jealous that the Beihou Mansion has bought the people."

"Don't tell me, the appearance of this woman should definitely be in the palace!"

"Yes, it's so beautiful, you can't be a queen, you can be a concubine!"

"Maybe it's a noble concubine!"

...

The fourth prince retreated from the crowd in a cold sweat, and moved slowly back to the carriage. Ding's attendant supported him and didn't know how to persuade him. Attendant Ding frowned at the sight of the four princes, and understood what was going on with confidantes: it's really not a good thing to be too beautiful!

When he reached the carriage, the fourth prince stopped and suddenly said, "I want to look at the lights." Ding Nai waiter had no choice but to help him turn around and return to the lamp market. The fourth prince limped hurriedly on the Dengshi Street, looking back and forth at people.

After walking for half an hour, Ding Nai Attendant felt that his arm was tight. He looked up and saw that a group of servants were walking around a few young masters. Zhang Yunming, the eldest son of Ping Yuan Hou, was walking in front. Following him listlessly.

The four princes walked over to meet them. Zhang Yunming met and bowed to him. He was also busy leading the brothers and sisters in the house, relatives, and cousins ​​to see him. It was a distant relative. The last one saluted the fourth prince. He looked disinterested, but the fourth prince paid special attention to him and said with a smile: "I haven't played chess with you for a long time."

Zhang Yunzheng and Zhang Yunming, who heard this, both froze for a while.

During this time, Zhang Yunzheng was deeply bored.

He used to look forward to living with integrity, reuniting with his family during the New Year, eating New Year's Eve dinner together, and setting off firecrackers. This is indeed the case this year. At first he felt fresh, but gradually, he became bored. As the nephew of a distant house of Ping Yuanhou, he had to repeatedly answer those questions about his own life experience when he met someone from the family of Ping Yuanhou's brothers to pay a New Year's greetings. The girls saw him one by one, and they all looked up and down at him unabashedly. Perhaps because he was just a distant relative on the surface, even if Zhang Yunming was with him every day, many people saw him with contempt and regarded him as a poor boy who came to Ping Yuan Hou to flatter and beat the autumn wind.

It was originally his desire to go shopping generously with Zhang Yunming on Dengjie. In the past, he watched Zhang Yunming wandering around the street with his family or talking with friends, he would go to make trouble. Zhang Yunming told him that during two of the collisions, the people from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion were nearby, and there was the chubby little girl ghost inside. Unfortunately, he was busy getting angry at the time and didn't remember what she looked like. Now Zhang Yunzheng really walked to Deng Street, but he felt dull and empty in his heart. After watching for a long time, I didn't see anyone from the Zhenbei Houfu. It seemed that the little girl ghost couldn't come out. Little liar! It must be hiding in the house and pretending to be...

Hearing the words of the four princes, Zhang Yunzheng raised his eyes to look at the four princes. Seeing that there was a sign in his eyes, he immediately thought that this was the prince who borrowed clothes from Shen Wen. He knew that he probably had something to say, because his mood for nothing to do became better and he was busy He replied: "I will go to Guan Yi Pavilion the day after tomorrow, and we will play another set when that time comes."

The fourth prince smiled and nodded immediately, and then said goodbye to Zhang Yunming, "Look at the lamp." He limped and walked away. After walking on the street for a while, the fourth prince met with a few other chess friends he knew before walking back and drove back to the palace.

Back to Pingyuan Hou Mansion, Zhang Yunming whispered to Zhang Yunzheng: "How did the four princes want to see you, shouldn't he want to see me? After all, I am the'big' son of Pingyuan Hou Mansion."

Zhang Yunzheng has always refused to let Zhang Yunming live a good life and said: "Perhaps you played chess too badly. What's so great about'big', as well as big idiots and big idiots!"

Zhang Yunming followed Zhang Yunzheng's tone and said, "You want to fight!"

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Just hit it!"

They had to move their hands in a few days, and they started fighting with each other. When Li heard the report over there, he frowned and said to Ping Yuanhou beside him: "Don't let people tell them to let them do it after today, or wait for another hour or two in the new year. This It's not that there will be fights this year."

Ping Yuan Hou smiled and said: "Fight! This year is not because there is something to fight. If we don't fight, it doesn't seem that we are too incompetent and we will be riding on our necks in the future."

Li thought that this year the four princesses were about to be in time, the four princesses did not give up on Zhang Yunming, and the marriage was about to be mentioned again, so he sighed.

Ping Yuan Hou smiled and said, "Madam can't sigh, it doesn't seem that this year Madam is going to be full of sadness."

Li hurriedly smiled and said: "As long as there is a husband, the worries in the concubine body are just the two wicked sons."

Pingyuan Hou pulled Li's hand: "It's good to be against the son, or you have to worry about them. Now it's better, the two little boys, don't worry about them losing money wherever they are. The wife only needs to take care of her husband. "

Li looked down at Ping Yuanhou's hand, smiled and said, "What the husband said is..."

-----------------------------------

Different from the excitement and happiness in Pingyuanhou's mansion, this night, the four princes could not sleep in anxiety.

What would happen if the news of Su Wanniang's beauty spread to the palace. Since the father abolished the queen, there would be no restrictions. As long as they were young and beautiful, regardless of their background, they would be included in the palace. The prince was the same. I heard that one or two new people would be added every month, as if comparing with the emperor, whoever wanted more women. If any of these two people thinks about Su Wanniang, what can I do?

If I said that I wanted to marry Su Wanniang now, I would simply give the prince a target. Moreover, the other party was a maid in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, how could the emperor let the dignity of marrying the other side as his righteous wife Tianjia be there? Su Wanniang was a concubine if she died. Not to mention that I didn't want to wrong Su Wanniang so much and asked her to marry herself as a concubine, even if she retreated to this point, the prince would not let her wish. If the prince starts to fight with himself for a concubine room, anyone with a discerning eye can see who will definitely win first...

The four princes have long been keeping away from the emperor, and now, there is a layer of resentment in their hearts: if the emperor as the father is not in charge of life and care, let the queen grow up and kill his mother, and the prince will be superior to other brothers. , How can I fall to the point where I can't protect even a girl I like! ...

Then, he was terrified how he could have such a rebellious lover's unfilial parents, isn't it better than a beast! Since ancient times, Baishan filial piety is the first, no matter what happens, the father is always his own father! Without a father, I would never be alive! A disobedient person can be killed by his father even if he is in the home of common people. How can I resent my father! How can you resent his arrangement! Is this what people mean by "the heavenly family has no father and son brothers" and he has become a person who ignores the affection between father and son?

He now fully realized what his mother meant to be cruel to him. At a certain moment, he even wanted to ruin Su Wanniang's beauty! When he first met Su Wanniang, it was not Su Wanniang's face that touched his heartstrings, but her tears. He sincerely hopes that she can be safe, even if her appearance is ruined, he will never despise her. He knew that she would be very painful, but he would be more painful than her, and would cherish her more...At this time, the four princes really realized the mother's pain in the first place, and for the first time forgave his mother.

In the days and nights that followed, the four princes were restless. Finally, when it was time to go to Guanyi Pavilion, the four princes arrived at Guanyi Pavilion and waited early. A few people came over to play chess with him, but he didn't have any thoughts and kept pushing away. The last person didn't leave. The four princes couldn't hide their killing intent and defeated the opponent in the shortest time. When the other party said that his chess skills had advanced to another level, the four princes were upset and did not hold back when they began to behave like a general.

When Zhang Yunzheng arrived, the fourth prince had been sitting for two hours, and the anxiety in his heart almost spewed out when he saw Zhang Yunzheng.

Zhang Yunzheng did not have the sleekness and politeness of Zhang Yunming. When he saw the four princes, he immediately came to him, grabbed the chess pieces and said, "Let's play chess."

The four princes liked Zhang Yunzheng's temper. After starting to leave, he quickly whispered: "Yuanxiao night, Su Wanniang's beauty spreads all over the capital. I'm afraid someone will pass the news into the palace!"

Zhang Yunzheng frowned: Su Wanniang is Shen Wen's maid, and even the night clothes on Shen Wen are made by Su Wanniang. Shen Wen's kind of mind will never allow herself to lose her arms, so she whispered, "I will tell her."

The four princes were shocked: He originally thought that Zhang Yunzheng was the same as himself, but indirectly knew the person behind the scenes in the Zhenbeihou Mansion, but now listening, he actually knows who the other party is! Just asked: "What kind of temper is he..."

When Zhang Yunzheng heard it, he understood that the four princes did not know Shen Wen. He turned the corners of his lips and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, that mean person will not let his own person fall into the hands of others."

The four princes felt relieved, and the heavy weight of these two days and nights was lost because of this. He blurted out: "If he needs me, I will try my best to help."

Hearing the four princes' tone of extra solemnity, Zhang Yunzheng blinked and reminded himself again that the four princes did not know that Shen Wen was behind the scenes, nodded and said, "I will tell."

Then he bowed his head and played chess. Since the four princes had already told Zhang Yunzheng of his worries, they wished that Zhang Yunzheng would immediately tell the people in the Zhenbei Houfu who had the overall situation, so he wanted to lose Zhang Yunzheng immediately like the one before. But the more anxious he was, the more entangled Zhang Yunzheng became. After a full hour and a half, the game ended with Zhang Yunzheng, but the four princes felt that he was defeated too: he never wanted to play chess with Zhang Yunzheng anymore!

Chapter 76

Shen Wen said that after the New Year, he would start drawing weapons. Zhang Yunzheng took Zhang Yunming to the courtyard every night after the Lantern Festival, but he waited until the night of the 21st of the first lunar month before Shen Wen arrived at the courtyard again.

When they arrived, the lights were already on in the house, and Shen Wen was coming and going frequently now, and he was about to use this place as his own place.

Since talking with Su Wanniang, Shen Wen has figured out many things. She used to be too focused on planning and completely ignored life itself. Now I suddenly felt that she was back, not just for revenge, if she put all her body and mind on revenge for the prince, it would be a waste of a great life. She should also live a good life: be kind to her relatives, give up the narrowness of the previous life, be grateful for everything that life has given, and try to taste the colorfulness of life.

She got here first this time, picked up the flint by the lampstand and lit the lamp. She remembered that Zhang Yunzheng said that the guard here was an old couple who would never come back at all, so she was very free.

There was no one in the room for nearly a month, and there was no ashes on the furniture, but Shen Wen was bored, so she picked up the duster erected next to the Eight Treasure Shelves and dusted it with her hands. It was the first time she was doing housework in her life.

undefinedPerhaps the selected furniture is fine wood. There is a faint fragrance in the room. Shen Wen and Zhang Yunzheng made a model of the lost city here. They were nervous and focused at the time. Looking back, they know that time flies so fast. The two had not seen each other during the Chinese New Year. Shen Wen heard a voice in the yard, and guessed that it was Zhang Yunzheng and the others, and was very happy for a while.

Zhang Yunzheng pushed the door open, the door was bolted, he patted the door, and Shen Wen asked, "Who is it?"

Zhang Yunzheng said evilly: "Who else can there be!"

Shen Wen came over and opened the door, smiling sweetly at the two people: "You are here..."

After hearing Shen Wen's accent, both Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng had a shiver, and Zhang Yunzheng said in an aura: "You can't speak well!"

...Well, this man has a bad temper... But who can change other people's parents, they named him "Yun Zheng", which sounds like "Allow disputes". Why don't you accuse him for not being able to tolerate him, only Accept...Shen Wen smiled and dragged his voice and said, "That's how I talk..." Zhang Yunzheng gave her a fierce look. The gaze was like a sharp sword, pierced straight into her smile, making her suddenly ashamed. Shen Wen was taken aback, the smile on her face disappeared, and she instantly understood what Zhang Yunzheng meant: He didn't need her tolerance at all! He doesn't need her perfunctory!

Shen Wen straightened his chest, immediately rounded his small eyes, looked back, and said loudly: "...what's the matter!" As soon as this word came out, Shen Wen felt relieved! Zhang Yunzheng is the only person in the world who doesn't need her to make false claims. In front of him, she can be unscrupulous and express her dissatisfaction and protest 100%, because this is exactly what he asked for.

Zhang Yunming laughed: "You have changed your face again!" But Zhang Yunzheng seemed very satisfied, his nose turned upside down, and he didn't even look at Shen Wendi and Zhang Yunming entering the house. Shen Wen confirmed his judgement just now: this guy is arrogant and confident, he is domineering and demanding the most essential feedback, he does not accept any falsehood.

Shen Wen smiled, and suddenly felt that Zhang Yunzheng was a very good person. He used to bother him in the past, probably because subconsciously he always wanted him to obey him. Once he gave up his inner demands, the world suddenly became vast. Even if Zhang Yunzheng is a passerby to her, she is also a unique person. There is no second Zhang Yunzheng in the world. He can allow others to be his true self, and use his own unscrupulous to inspire others to be unrestrained. No wonder Zhang Yunming said that his brother is kind-hearted or something...

She blinked and looked at Zhang Yunzheng as if she had met Zhang Yunzheng for the first time. Zhang Yunzheng's sword eyebrows and eyes, frowned slightly, but the corners of his lips are slightly raised, his eyes are serious and persistent, and the whole person is glowing with the pure masculinity of a young man...Shen Wen sighs, if it were not for her thousand years of knowledge, Zhang Yunzheng would be far better than her. Smart and keen, serious and capable...

When Zhang Yunming saw Shen Wen's gaze at Zhang Yunzheng, he pointed to the duster in Shen Wen's hand and said, "Wow, Miss Shen Er can dust it."

Shen Wen waved the duster at him: "I can still hit someone else's hands! Isn't Mr. Zhang going to give it a try?"

When Zhang Yunzheng heard the two of them talk and laugh, he frowned and sat down on the chair, and immediately said the fourth prince in advance: "In Guanyi Pavilion, the fourth prince said that Su Wanniang's beautiful voice will probably reach the palace."

Zhang Yunming said: "Oh, I also heard these days that a woman in Beihou Mansion in the town of Beihou on the night of the Lantern Festival was so beautiful that everyone was chasing the crowd."

Shen Wen put down the duster and clapped her hands, and said: "Sister Wanniang came back and said that many people were watching them on the street, and they came back quickly. She was so humble." Su Wanniang also regretted that she wore new clothes for a long time. The face, probably because he didn't see the Fourth Prince, but let others see it. These days Su Wanniang's hair has covered most of her face again.

Zhang Yunming asked: "You won't let her enter the palace?"

Shen Wen glanced at him: "Does this still need to be said, of course not."

Zhang Yunzheng looked triumphant: "I knew it! Then what do you do?"

Shen Wen waved: "It's very simple. Let the prince help stop it."

Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng were both stunned, and Zhang Yunming asked: "How to stop it?"

Shen Wen smiled and said: "Didn't I say anything about the prince, just say a few words. He is afraid of too many things, and he will be very obedient."

Zhang Yunming frowned and said, "That's a sinister villain, not a timid person."

Shen Wen said: "Many people become sinister and vicious just because they are timid."

Zhang Yunming thought for a while, smiled, nodded and said, "Don't tell me, it's really like this. It's because of being timid and fearful that I care about protecting myself, lest I get hurt."

Shen Wen said: "In fact, it is useless to be afraid. The more you are afraid, the more often you will come."

Zhang Yunming is unhappy: "This is not the first month, can you not say such unlucky words"

Shen Wen asked in a low voice, "Superstitious Young Master Zhang, are you afraid of Bei Rong in the future?"

Zhang Yunzheng smiled and said, "That may not be true. He is probably afraid of marrying the fourth princess."

Zhang Yunming frowned at Zhang Yunzheng: "You want to fight again!"

Shen Wen laughed and pointed to Zhang Yunming and said: "You are indeed afraid of marrying the fourth princess!"

Zhang Yunming sighed helplessly: "A good man does not fight with a woman. I am not afraid of being a real swordsman on the battlefield. I can deal with a woman, and there is a villain like the prince behind. I really don't know what to do."

Zhang Yunzheng was a little surprised: "You, a big liar, have times when you don't know what to do"

Zhang Yunming was a little depressed: "You don't understand, the woman is stubborn, but there are so many things! For example, when she walked towards you, suddenly her skirt was torn, and she was surrounded by her people, saying that you did something to her. Or, when you are at the water's edge, she fell into the water with a'puff', even if you didn't push it, she fell into the water in front of you. You can't save it or you can't save the princess. It's a great sin to see the princess die. Yan. Help, hehe, she is your wife. For example, if you are stuffed with something or not stuffed at all, and you are walking, this thing falls by your side. This thing is the princess's private property. , Let you have a hundred words! For example, when you are walking, she rushes over from behind and throws you to the ground, or falls beside you..."

Zhang Yunzheng looked at Zhang Yunming disgustingly: "How do you know this?"

Zhang Yunming rolled his eyes and said: "Besides, this is not simply a matter of a woman marrying someone. This is meant to be the master of my Pingyuan Hou Mansion. If I make a mistake, our family will lose its reputation."

Shen Wen smiled and said: "everything is inseparable from its ancestry. There are only a few types of conspiracies in the world. There are not many tricks for women to marry men."

Zhang Yunming was a little uncertain and said: "Tell me which types are there?"

Shen Wen pointed out to Zhang Yunming with a wrench: "First, raw rice is used to make mature rice, which means using an aphrodisiac or something to dedicate yourself to you. Second, framing and framing, that is, what you did to her. Third, people Awe-inspiring words are to let everyone know that something is wrong with you. Fourthly, the family relationship is unstoppable. It is to mobilize your family members to force you, or force your family members to force you to submit, or tell you that you will not marry. Don't live with her family. Fifth, if you do not follow her, you will die; if you follow her, your high-ranking officials will be generous. Sixth, you must hang yourself in front of your house. ..."

Zhang Yunzheng frowned at Shen Wen: "Enough! You know too much!"

Shen Wen snorted to him: "I know nothing about what you are afraid of. I am very proud! It's not mine, I don't want it!" Shen Wen looked very upright because he had said this to Su Wanniang.

Zhang Yunzheng looked at Shen Wen angrily and whispered: "Pig!"

Shen Wen blinked puzzledly: "What does this have to do with pigs?"

Zhang Yunming was afraid that the two of them would start exchanging words and sentences again, and interrupted: "This really has nothing to do with pigs! She can't move the people in my family, don't worry about them, aphrodisiac or something is better to prevent. It is this framed and framed, which is more difficult to prevent. ."

Shen Wen pointed his chin and said: "Nowadays, men and women are different. If you want to frame the framing, you have to be certified. It is not so easy. Remember, when you are going, the four princesses will also go. You have to be careful."

Zhang Yunming narrowed his eyes, and Shen Wen smirked at him. Zhang Yunming smiled and asked Shen Wen, "It seems that you have a way to crack it."

Shen Wen raised an eyebrow, "Don't forget what you promised me."

Zhang Yunming said in his heart that, anyway, I have told my father that your third brother wanted to marry my sister. I don't need to mess with it, so he kept saying: "I won't forget, I won't forget, just tell me."

Shen Wen said: "The easiest thing is that Li Daitao is stiff! At that time, where there are four princesses, there will be five princesses."

Zhang Yunming's face was a little red, and he didn't dare to look at Shen Wen. Zhang Yunzheng pushed him: "Don't be so hypocritical, you are secretly happy!" He looked at Shen Wen, "Go on, there are more."

Shen Wen said: "If there are any more, it will lead to disasters. You can find someone who can help you. If you want to find someone they can't kill, you can find a son of the right age in the Changle Hou Mansion, but you can't come and look for it. It shows a trace. In the future, if they dare to really attack you in person..."

Zhang Yunzheng said in an interface: "Whoever starts, he is the ghost!" There is an indisputable sternness in his tone. Shen Wen glanced at Zhang Yunzheng, knowing his temperament, and can only sigh: "Probably it will be like this."

Zhang Yunming carefully grasped Shen Wen's words and nodded slowly: "I probably understand what you mean. I want your third brother to help me." Can't let that kid be idle.

Shen Wen immediately smiled again: "That's okay." As long as he can finally marry your sister, what can I do to help you?

Zhang Yunzheng asked Shen Wen irritably: "Aren't we hitting Fire Luo, why didn't he come to marry the fourth princess"

If in the past, Shen Wen would have rolled his eyes at Zhang Yunzheng or something, took the opportunity to shoot a cold arrow at Zhang Yunzheng, and now only smiled and said: "Where there is such a fast winter, whoever comes out this time will get summer. And, it is fire. Luo Qiu married, and the four princesses might not get married either."

Zhang Yunming frowned: "What do you mean?"

Shen Wen said: "Which emperor easily marries his own daughter Li Chao and Fan, most of the women are court ladies or daughters of noble relatives. There are a few real princesses who are widows or who cannot marry. In my dream, the five princesses were married. , It was because of the plan of the prince, the queen was in charge, and the fifth princess was a soft temper, so she knew crying. Now, the queen was abandoned, and the fourth princess made a noise in front of the emperor, and the emperor probably had to let someone replace it. she was."

Zhang Yunzheng said irritably: "Then we hit Fire Luo and didn't get anything done."

Shen Wen squinted at Zhang Yunzheng: "We won't let the fifth princesses and Fan Fan anymore."

Zhang Yunzheng only thinks that Shen Wen's temper is very good today, and the look of his own is not hostile at all, but it makes people feel a little warm. He coughed and said solemnly: "We have news with the prince." Shen Wen really looked at him intently, Zhang Yunzheng was happy in his heart, and continued: "They have been following several prince's assistants all these time and found one I contacted several cart and horse shops and negotiated prices with two of them. The time was in late March to ship the goods to the north. Another one told his family that he would go out to work for the prince at the end of March, and it would take about half a year to return. In addition, the steward of the Arms Depot has recently drunk with the Prince's people several times."

Shen Wen nodded and said, "It should be the end of March, are the bandits ready?"

Zhang Yunming said: "I have been training soldiers for more than half a year, and Lianghu's boat is also ready."

Shen Wen said: "The robbed grain will be transported to the wine cellar, is there any response there?"

Zhang Yunming replied, "There are all kinds of horses and carts. Master Song came back once before the New Year's Pass, saying that the wine cellar had been built and the first batch of wine had already come out. The surrounding tile kilns built to store wine also burned out wine tanks. Wine cans and wine jars. The second lady of the Yan family and the others go back to celebrate the New Year. They will continue to make wine after the first month."

Shen Wen said: "That's fine. The first time the prince and the others transported grain, they should not have much precautions, so they just grabbed it. Just be careful not to be too professional, and don't show off the skills of a sergeant, which makes people think it is. Really bandits are good."

Zhang Yunming said: "Master Song said that some people were born as bandits before, and this time let them come forward."

Shen Wen said: "Try to hurt people as little as possible. It must be a group of cowardly bandits who happen to rob things. Remember, be very stupid!"

Zhang Yunzheng frowned: "You just want to pretend to be stupid, what if you can't do it"

Shen Wen smiled faintly: "I will burn it before the catastrophe! Never let them transport the grain to Beirong."

Zhang Yunzheng thought for a while, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said, "Okay, this way, it's easier."

Zhang Yunming also nodded and said: "It is indeed."

Shen Wen knew that both of them understood, so he said, "It's time to draw a picture."

Zhang Yunzheng stood up and said, "Enter the secret room."

Zhang Yunming also got busy: "Go together."

Zhang Yunzheng knew that she couldn't be bored in the secret room with Shen Wen in front of his brother, so he led the way into the secret room, lighted the lamp, Shen Wen followed in, and Zhang Yunming blew out the light in the room and entered the secret room.

Three people squeezed in the small secret room, and it was immediately very small. Shen Wen and Zhang Yunzheng stood almost side by side with the book case, and Zhang Yunming stood on the opposite side. Shen Wen spread out a piece of paper, and Zhang Yunzheng said to Zhang Yunming: "Don't just look at it, study ink!"

Zhang Yunming said, "Hey, why do you disrespect your brother so much?" But the inkstone was under his nose, so he had to start studying ink.

Knowing that Zhang Yunzheng would draw it again, Shen Wen drew it scribbledly: "The arc here is 30 degrees, and the arc here is 135 degrees... Uh, we have to find a feng shui compass with scales on it, or make a Semicircle."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "When I see my mother, I have a feng shui compass, and I will bring it next time..."

Zhang Yunming said: "That's the treasure of the mother's town house, you have to tell her."

Zhang Yunzheng waved to Zhang Yunming: "Go, leave it alone, as soon as I say my mother will give me...what does this mean" He pointed to a point on the map.

Shen Wen replied: "The two pieces of wood here have to be so mated... I will draw you a detailed picture... First cut the wood like this... the other piece is like this..."...

Zhang Yunming looked at the two people asking and answering, and felt that it was not pleasing to the eye! After a while, she finally interrupted intolerably: "Miss Shen Er will draw it first, and then we will talk about whether it will work or not. Let's go out first! Let her concentrate on painting here."

Zhang Yunzheng was unhappy: "Why I understand now that I can paint part of it during the day without waiting for her to finish..."

Zhang Yunming insisted: "No! I want to play chess with you!"

Zhang Yunzheng opened his eyes wide: "Why do you suddenly want to play chess"

Zhang Yunming stubbornly said: "I just thought about it! That time the four princes did not want to play chess with me, I was very disappointed! I want to play chess with you!"

Zhang Yunzheng shook his head and said, "But I don't want to play chess now."

Zhang Yunming used his assassin: "Then I don't care! How many times in the past I didn't want to, you forced me to play. Now it's your turn!" He remembered bitterly that Zhang Yunzheng was haunting himself to play chess, who could have thought of the current turnaround , I have today too!

Shen Wen also knew what Zhang Yunming meant, so he nodded and said, "I'll paint first. Let's go outside, and help look at the door."

Zhang Yunzheng said to Zhang Yunming with a full face of displeasure: "Well, just one set!" The same as Zhang Yunming's answer to him in the past.

Zhang Yunming secretly said "retribution" and pulled Zhang Yunzheng out of the secret room and said: "One game is one game! I'm not afraid of you!" According to Zhang Yunzheng's temperament, this game lasted most of the night! Shen Wen must go in the middle.

The two of them went to the outhouse, lighted the lights again, and set the chessboard.

Zhang Yunming asked Zhang Yunzheng: "The four princes are looking for you to play chess, have you resorted to the trick of harassment"

Zhang Yunzheng said: "What does it mean to be serious! Even though defeat is glorious, you won't."

Zhang Yunming hummed: "That's called stalking."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Whoever wants to listen to you, I can do whatever I want!"...

The two began to play chess, and they quarreled while playing. Shen Wen now knows that this is the way for two people to get along. There is intimacy that outsiders can't appreciate, and he doesn't care about it. Just listen to Zhang Yunzheng at the door saying: "Four changes."

Shen Wen woke up abruptly, put down the pen, and saw Zhang Yunzheng's cheerful look. She wondered: "Why are you so happy?"

Zhang Yunzheng came over to wash the pen and said, "I won! Only half an hour!"

Zhang Yunming said loudly: "I let you do it!"

Zhang Yunzheng turned his head and said, "No! You are not paying attention yourself." Folded Shen Wen's sketch and put it away.

Zhang Yunming replied: "Isn't that just for you"...

Shen Wen shook his hand and said, "Farewell again!" Ignoring the two brothers, he went out and went home.

Zhang Yunzheng cleaned up the secret room and came out, glanced at the door, and said, "It's not always good to say goodbye, it's impolite!" He looked at the scattered chessboard beside Zhang Yunming, "Aren't you lazy to clean up?"

Zhang Yunming thought that just now Zhang Yunzheng could concentrate so much, and seemed not to be distracted by Miss Shen Er, so he said lightly: "What to pack and use next time."

Zhang Yunzheng came over to clean up the chessboard: "Then you have to put it away first!"

Zhang Yunming waved his hand: "I want to do important things. I'll take care of the food robbery, but I have to borrow some people from you."

Zhang Yunzheng put the chess set on the shelf and replied, "Don't think about it! You did it last time, I'll go this time!"

Zhang Yunming looked at Zhang Yunzheng suspiciously: "Are you alright, kid's house..."

Zhang Yunzheng punched it, and Zhang Yunming shouted: "Why don't you say "want to fight"! It's really useless!"

The two of them fought around, blew the lights, and returned home together.

Shen Wen went back and whispered threats to Su Wanniang about her beauty. The two discussed the next day's performance before going to sleep.

The next day, Shen Wen went to Shen Xiang's yard after getting up. He didn't see Shen Xiang who was practicing martial arts, but chatted with a few maids and talked about the crowded streets on the night of the Lantern Festival.

Back in the yard, seeing "Wang Zhi's" and several maids were there, Shen Wen made a fuss and said to Su Wanniang: "Sister Wanniang, have you heard that you were on the street that night, and many people saw you and said You are so beautiful to be a maid in the palace!"

Su Wanniang said embarrassedly: "Miss, what are you talking about? The palace is so easy to enter."

Shen Wen said loudly: "Of course! Now there is no queen in the emperor, so I have to choose a queen anyway. Sister Wanniang might be a queen!"

Su Wanniang hurriedly shook her hand and said, "I am the daughter of a criminal officer, how can I be a queen?"

Shen Wen frowned: "Can't the daughter of a criminal enter the palace?"

Su Wanniang sighed: "I didn't accompany you into the palace that year because of this."

Shen Wen said innocently: "But Sister Wanniang looks so good-looking. As long as the emperor has a look, the emperor may like Sister Wanniang. Then look up the case of Sister Wanniang's father. Maybe, Sister Wanniang will do. If you are not the daughter of an official, you can enter the palace."

Su Wanniang smiled and said, "If that's the case, I won't forget you, Miss."

Shen Wen clapped his hands: "Of course, if Sister Wanniang enters the palace, I will go to Sister Wanniang to play!"

"Wang Zhi's family" was full of jealousy: It was also the maid, Su Wanniang came out of the brothel, and now she wants to enter the palace! Dream it!

Two days later, the dialogue between Shen Wen and Su Wanniang was conveyed to the East Palace.

----------------------------------

In fact, the fourth prince's prediction of the prince this time was not entirely correct. The prince's recent thoughts were not on the beauty, but on Chu Rong.

After he met Chu Rong that time, he traveled around in and out of the East Palace, but he never saw Chu Rong again. In the end, a staff member found the roster of the court ladies and found Chu Rong. She is a woman who has been in the palace for ten years, twenty-five, at an age that can be released from the palace. The time the prince saw her was the day before she was leaving the palace. Probably to replace a palace lady who was ill at the time, and temporarily asked her to lift the curtain of the palace for the prince. She left the next day. The address on the roster is hundreds of miles to the north.

The prince then asked an assistant to Chu Rong's hometown to find her to see if she was married, and if not, he would take her back to the capital.

The prince didn't know why he had to spend so much trouble. Chu Rong was the most unremarkable woman he had ever seen, and the princess with a small face was more prettier than her. Moreover, the contact between the two people did not even last for a minute, and the prince stubbornly wanted to see her again. How many months have passed, instead of weakening this idea, it has grown stronger and stronger, like a seed that sprouted in my heart and began to grow roots.

After another three months, the staff member came back and said that she had found Chu Rong's house. Her parents had just made a marriage appointment for her to fill the house for someone. After hearing the prince's request, he withdrew again, and let Chu Rong return to the capital with his staff. The staff found a private house for Chu Rong and settled it down.

When people arrived in the capital, the prince began to worry about gains and losses again: after all, I just met in a hurry, and if I see myself again, will I be disappointed? I retired my relatives and my daughter went back again. Will he come and make a fuss about finding a woman outside the palace and pass it out. Will the Lu family be dissatisfied...

Finally, the prince decided that if he did not like it, Chu Rong must have deceived his feelings in the first place! Let Chu Rong be poisoned to death, and only told her family that she died of illness in the capital. No one will find out if you don't know it. I have never forgotten her for so many months, and I have overcome all the women with the depth of love. Even if I killed her, I didn't treat her wrongly.

With no worries, the prince took the opportunity of leaving the palace to the small courtyard where Chu Rong lived. When he saw Chu Rong, the prince knew that he had done nothing wrong in taking Chu Rong.

Chu Rong greeted him, smiled and saluted the prince in the courtyard, and a thin wrinkle appeared at the corner of his eyes. But her smile was indeed as gentle and kind as he remembered, without any attempt mixed in.

The prince waved his hand and signaled that the others were staying outside and entered the house by himself.

The furniture in the room is simple, there are no carvings on the tables and chairs, and there is an embroidery frame next to the table, on which is a tacky flower branch that is embroidered halfway, and it looks like a spring or something.

The crown prince sat down, Chu Rong did not come to him sweetly to flatter him like all other women in the past, but went to pour him tea without saying anything, smiled and put it beside him.

Suddenly, the prince felt very tired, and was too lazy to speak for a while, cast a look at the embroidery frame, Chu Rong sat down obediently, and continued to embroider her flowers.

When the two entered the house, they didn't say a word. The prince drank tea in silence, watching Chu Rong in a daze at embroidering. The corners of Chu Rong's mouth were cocked, as if he was smiling all the time. Behind her, there was an ordinary people's New Year picture hanging on the wall, and a big fat boy was riding on a big red fish. The window was covered with rough paper, which had turned yellow, and the light in the room was soft...Suddenly, a burst of warmth flooded the prince's eyes. He swallowed hard and spitted, and stopped his sorrow.

When the tea was finished, the prince stood up, and Chu Rong looked up, inserted the needle into the tambour, and got up. The prince did not speak, and without waiting for her to bow, he turned and walked out, out of the courtyard, and got in the car back to the palace. He felt as if he had a good night's sleep, and he was comfortable. There has never been a woman who makes him feel so happy without going to bed. He decided to sit down with Chu Rong when he was free in the future to watch her embroider and drink a cup of tea.

As soon as he returned to the palace, the staff told him the news of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion: "Su Wanniang went to the Lantern Market at night for the Lantern Festival. The people saw her beauty, but the crowds kept watching. The streets were blocked for a while, and Su Wanniang's stunning name spread overnight. In Beijing, many people said that she should enter the palace. Su Wanniang and Miss Shen Er also heard this rumor, and they were very happy. Su Wanniang was a little worried that she was the daughter of a prisoner. Miss Shen Er said that if the emperor could see Su Wanniang, maybe Just because of her beauty, she investigated her father's case and cleansed her reputation so that she could be admitted to the palace..."

The prince interrupted: "Absolutely not!"

An staff member whispered: "We understand." The case of her father, Su Changting, would involve the prince. If the emperor were to know that the prince had placed people in the household department so early, it was still an important position in the gold department, what would the emperor think about this matter must not be passed to the emperor's ears!

The prince said: "Look for someone to say hello to Grandpa's grandfather next to the emperor."

Someone was busy, and the prince asked: "How are the arrangements for the transportation of grain?"

One person replied: "The carts, horses, etc. have been contacted. On March 28, the grains and iron objects raised from all over the country will be gathered in Yuncheng, three hundred miles away from the capital, and the grain trucks will be transported northward from there. .just..."

The prince frowned: "Just what!"

The staff sighed: "Ironware is nothing, but now is the year of the disaster, and when the winter and spring are not taking place, all places must open warehouses for food. Originally, we would either not give us the food, or only give a half. Now that the price of grain has risen several times more than the price of fire, if we pay for it, it will cost a lot of silver. We originally wanted this batch to raise 200,000 catties, but we got less than 100,000 catties. With the addition of ironware, more than forty mule carts were transported away. The 300,000 catties per year agreed with Bei Rong must be out of stock."

The prince said: "It's a drought here. It's definitely a year of rain if they have rain. Grain must be scarcer. Grain is not bad! Those who follow you will explain to them and tell them that the food is all hardships. Don't think it's easy!"

The staff also said: "Although it is a business trip, there are famines everywhere and bandits are frequent. It is still necessary to have an **** to accompany you."

The prince waved his hand impatiently: "In famine years, everyone will not ship the goods and go to a **** board. This kind of thing should not be left to my house!"

The staff immediately said: "Yes." No more details with the prince.

A few days later, the emperor who was reading the memorials in the study suddenly asked Sun Gonggong next to him: "I heard that the Lantern Festival night is full of people, watching a beautiful maid in Beihou Mansion."

Grandpa Sun said hurriedly, "Rong Nu and maidservant go to inquire."

The next day, Sun Gonggong whispered to the emperor: "Actually, it was Zhenbeihou's eldest daughter and two maids walking down the street that day. That Miss Shen, dressed in a red uniform, was called the "Jianmen Tiger Girl" and attracted everyone's attention. Being crowded around and crowded together, but there are no tens of thousands of people. The Zhenbei Houfu did not like people talking about the eldest lady, so it let out a slogan saying that everyone was looking at the appearance of a maid."

The emperor nodded, and did not question this matter again. He also didn't believe in how beautiful a maid was: if she was really good-looking, this maid would have been taken over, so how could she continue to be a maid?

The prince found out and let go of his heart. But I also thought that I had seen Su Wanniang before, and she had already begun to look beautiful before she grew up, and she must be even more stunning now. By the time Miss Shen Er and Yan, she made a trap by herself and included her in the mansion. Naturally, her maid could not escape. Su Wanniang's beautiful color must also fall into her palm. With this plan, the prince repeatedly ordered people not only not to spread the beauty of Su Wanniang, but also to cover up these rumors as soon as possible, so as not to attract the emperor's attention.

The four princes waited fearfully for more than a month. As expected, there was no rumor about Su Wanniang's beauty in the palace, and neither the emperor nor the prince showed any interest in Su Wanniang. On the night of the Lantern Festival, the crowd looked as if it hadn't happened, and this incident gradually faded out of people's talk.

The four princes couldn't think of any way that the people behind Zhenbeihou's mansion could do this. He even thought that Su Wanniang was lucky and escaped in a muddle. He personally felt that it was almost impossible. of. In any case, he felt that he had owed a great favor to the other party.

Chapter 77

At the end of March, in the study of Pingyuan Hou Mansion, after Ping Yuan Hou was sitting at the bookcase, Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng stood aside with serious expressions, and Master Song whispered: "Five days ago, there were two chariots in the capital. After passing the money with the prince's men, a total of forty-seven carriages departed from Yuncheng, three hundred miles to the north. Our first batch of more than fifty men and horses left that night. One carriage of weapons was scrapped in the armory, and it was out of the city yesterday. , Our people have followed. One of the prince's staff members took luggage and left this morning, and our people followed."

Ping Yuan Hou squinted: "You set off tonight, and fifty people should be enough. The place of the ambush has been decided."

Master Song said in a low voice, "Since we knew it was Yuncheng, it was easy. There are a few brothers who are from the vicinity and are very familiar with the terrain. We found a mountainous area close to Lianghu to start. From There they drove the car to Lianghu, transported the grain to the boat, and then drove the car to the east, selling the car along the way, but rode the animals to the south."

Ping Yuan Hou recognized, turned his head and said to Zhang Yunzheng: "You are ready"

Zhang Yunzheng said unhappily: "Of course!"

undefinedPing Yuanhou frowned: "Don't talk back! Go out and listen to Master Song!"

Zhang Yunzheng snorted.

Zhang Yunming smiled and said to Master Song: "Master Song, you must be a stupid bandit, and you must be very kind and don't want to kill people..."

Zhang Yunzheng glared at him: "I have arranged everything!"

Master Song nodded and said: "We have kept in mind: stupid bandits, don't like killing people, timid and fearful, but luckily, they robbed the convoy."

Ping Yuanhou turned the jade ball and said: "You all come back well, it's best not to lose a single soldier."

Master Song clasped his fists: "I would like to follow the general's instructions." Zhang Yunzheng also saluted goodbye.

Ping Yuan Hou nodded, Zhang Yunzheng and Master Song left together, and Zhang Yunming followed them out.

Zhang Yunming walked next to Zhang Yunzheng and whispered: "You have to be careful. You don't have immediate kung fu, only fist and light work. Just watch by the side, come up with ideas, don't do it yourself..."

Zhang Yunzheng was impatient: "You don't care about me!"

Zhang Yunming cut his voice: "I'm too lazy to care about you! Don't ask me to help you take care of you next time!"

Zhang Yunzheng made a fist, and the two brothers spoke at the same time: "I want to fight!"

Master Song smiled: "Okay, okay! Stop making trouble, go and say goodbye to your wife, we have to go."

When Zhang Yunzheng went to see Li, he only said that he was going to run business with others. Lee pulled Zhang Yunzheng's sleeve and told: "You have to take care of yourself, don't eat with dirty hands, and cover your stomach when you sleep... ..."

Zhang Yunzheng frowned, reluctantly. Zhang Yunming watched, and said to Li's family: "Mother, you can beat him up!"

The way Li was about to cry: "How can I be willing to..."

Zhang Yunming said politely: "I'll hit him, I'm willing!"

Zhang Yunzheng stared, and Li said hurriedly: "You go early and return early, don't worry my mother!"

Zhang Yunzheng hummed in response.

Zhang Yunzheng and Zhang Yunming came out and handed Zhang Yunming a note, saying: "Go and put it in the room over there."

Zhang Yunming curled his lips and said, "I just said that I won't help you!"

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Then I will fight with those people!"

Zhang Yunming sighed: "You'll bully me! We didn't talk to her two days ago and say we are going to leave soon. What else to give away"

Zhang Yunzheng stared: "But I didn't say which day it was! She said that if the day does not pass, she will leave a note!"

Zhang Yunming said: "If I give you a note, you have to leave me the beautiful cuckoo, the little cuckoo by your side."

Zhang Yunzheng squinted: "What are you doing!"

Zhang Yunming said: "Spare! I have to go fishing for the people from Changle Houjia House. Apart from others in that house, the princes are more lustful than the other."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Okay! His appearance is indeed not suitable for being a bandit."

Zhang Yunming then took the note and opened it up: "You shouldn't leave a note saying that you are going to be a bandit."

Zhang Yunzheng threw a fist: "You are so stupid!"

Zhang Yunming saw that there was a cart loaded with goods drawn on the note, but there was no horse, and he smiled and said, "This is quite reasonable. The cart can't go anywhere."

Zhang Yunzheng rolled his eyes: "You know what horse is very difficult to draw, and it is easy to draw particularly ugly! Time is in a hurry, I will not draw."

Zhang Yunming shook his head at Zhang Yunzheng: "I really want to beat you!"

Zhang Yunzheng raised his eyebrows: "You hit it! Who is afraid of you!"...

The two eventually did not fight. Zhang Yunzheng and Master Song left Pingyuan Hou Mansion in the afternoon, out of the city, and arrived at one of Li's Zhuangzi. That night, he changed into a peasant outfit, quietly left Zhuangzi in batches with more than fifty people, and headed north.

When Shen Wen arrived at the courtyard at night, it was dark inside. Shen Wen went into the room to light the lamp and found a note under the lamp. She knew it was Zhang Yunzheng's brushstrokes at a glance, indicating that he was going to rob food, and Zhang Yunming would not come alone to get along with Shen Wen. According to calculations, Shen Wen knew that Zhang Yunzheng's trip would take more than ten days to reach the location of the robbery. When the matter was over, the group would disperse into several routes and circle the great distance back to the capital. In this case, he did not come back for a month or two, and the originally quiet night suddenly became more silent.

Shen Wen entered the secret room and began to draw sketches of various weapons and terrain organs. There is a pure gold feng shui compass brought by Zhang Yunzheng. The paper and pens used are all carefully purchased by Zhang Yunzheng. Even the lamp oil is extremely precious, smokeless and bright... There are traces of Zhang Yunzheng everywhere, but he is not here, so she always has to pay attention The surrounding movement should not only prevent people from approaching the courtyard, but also listen to the drums so as not to miss the time to return. She was keenly aware of a subtle sense of loss in her heart, which made her very vigilant.

She just raised the banner of "I don't want" a while ago, and she felt relieved. Why did she hang up again? Zhang Yunzheng was short-tempered, poisonous and rude. It was not her usual favorite, but it made her feel safe and secure. Trust, he left, she missed him! Shen Wen was very unwilling! Fortunately, she has too many things to do now, and she doesn't have too much effort to entangle this problem. She can only think to herself: "I don't want it, I don't want it", while letting it go, take it step by step.

-----------------------------------------

Zhang Yunzheng, who went to work as a temporary bandit to rob food, even thought of Shen Wen when she left the capital: I don't know if she went to the courtyard, she would see the note, but she would feel that it would be a big loss without herself to help draw pictures and watch the time... The closer the place, the more excited, and gradually changed his mind.

He followed Master Song and his gang for nearly twenty days northward, and arrived at a hilly area. Master Song pointed to him on a high ground: "This place is full of hills. Only this road can be used for horse-drawn carriages, and they can't run."

Zhang Yunzheng kept his face straight, tried his best to be mature, carefully observed the surrounding terrain, nodded and said, "Very good, just do it here."

Master Song smiled and said: "A single sentence of burning grain will choke the opponent's death hole. There shouldn't be any difficulties, it's considered military training."

Shen Wen's face flashed in Zhang Yunzheng's heart. He didn't want to mess up, so he immediately turned his head and said to the big-waisted rose behind him: "You should memorize everything you should remember! Don't be lazy!"

The rose sighed: "I miss lilac! He can cooperate with me, give me a word, and pretend to be my daughter-in-law..."

Zhang Yunzheng interrupted and said, "You don't need a wife! You just need to be very stupid! Don't show a little cleverness!"

The Chinese rose repeatedly said: "Okay, it's definitely done. It's easy to be clever, but it's not easy to pretend to be stupid."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Don't be careless! It's not easy to pretend to be stupid!" The little girl ghost was so full of calculations that she pretended to be stupid and fooled everyone! Little liar! A smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Yunzheng's mouth, and no one else noticed it.

A few days later, a long line of carriages, under the banner of the largest **** in the capital, came slowly along the road. Daotou was particularly alert when he saw the surrounding terrain, and just yelled: "Be careful, everyone..." He saw a few people stumbling in front of him and shouting: "There are robbers! There are robbers!"

The dart head pulled out a big knife to block these people, not letting them approach the convoy, and asked, "What robber!"

The few people who came running looked like civilians, and one of them bent over and gasped in front of him: "Actually, those people just want money and don't dare to hurt others. We can't beat them. You have so many darts and them. Just hit it!" After finishing speaking, he fell dejected and said to the person behind him: "We are unlucky, let's go." Several people walked far away against the road. Biaotou saw that they were not in sight, and his heart didn't seem to be here to rob, he was telling the truth.

Dart head loosened his heart. Robbery is a matter of daring and scaring the timid to death. Those robbers dare not hurt people, but we dare! If someone wants to rob, kill two people and stop them. So he said loudly, "Listen, everyone! There are robbers ahead, so don't dare to hurt people. If we meet, we will beat them to death!" Everyone yelled at the same time, and their voices echoed in the forest.

The convoy continued to move forward and walked for a mile or two. Sure enough, a large number of people rushed out of the forest. They were all dressed up as farmers, with gray-headed faces, waving their picks and picks and shouting, "Leave the car!" "Grab!" !"...Pure native dialect!

Darthead felt somewhat underestimated because of the people in front of him, and shouted with a broad knife, "Brothers, kill them! Show them something good!"

After speaking, he took a few people and left the road to greet him. When fighting against a few farmers, the **** fell to the ground as soon as the knife touched each other's hoe. The "farmer" was obviously very strong, but he seemed very timid. He turned his head and ran away, shouting loudly: " Run away first! Come back tonight!" The accent was so soiled that people got goose bumps. The guards of the Escort Bureau laughed, if they knew that this person's name was Rose, they would probably laugh even harder.

Dartou also shouted: "Brothers, don't let them all run away! Take a few offenses! Be a hostage!"

A few more people ran over, and only half of the team guarded.

These people just ran after the farmer for a few steps, and they fell into the deep pit of the two with a thud. The air was dusty, and it made people dizzy if they inhaled it. Before they could jump out, the farmers who ran back quickly turned back. A dozen people smashed rocks into the pit at the same time, really knocking them out.

The people guarding the convoy saw the figure of the chasing person swaying, and they knew that they had been caught in the trap when they got into the ground. They were busy guarding around the food truck, and no one dared to chase it anymore.

The farmers fished out all the seven or eight people who had fallen into the trap, tied them firmly, and dragged them over to "negotiate." The rose begged: "My dears, we really have no way to survive! The crops are confiscated, there are young and old at home, and everyone is human. Leave the truck or something to us. We don't hurt our lives."

The head of the dart is in the hands of the opponent, and the people in the dart board are afraid to do it. Only the staff of the prince yells: "Go! Can't give them anything! We paid the money, you go up and fight!"

Several thugs from the **** came slowly, dancing with swords in their hands.

The rose said sadly: "If you don't give us a way to survive, then we have to break his leg." He pointed to the dart head and said, "Guys, hit his leg with a big rock..."

The dizzy dart head yelled: "No, don't!" The subordinate of the dart head who has no legs is naturally his brother, so he won't do anything at this time.

The rose cried again: "Master, do it! I really can't help it." The wailing was moving.

The prince's staff stomped: "If you don't fight, I'll tell people, you **** the robbers!"

Generally speaking, the Escort and the bandits in the arena have some friendships, and they use some silver to open the way, and the two sides have a tacit understanding of each other.

Biaotou hurriedly turned his face to the rose and said, "Which sacred brother is the brother offended. We can discuss how much the brother wants!"

The rose shook his head and said: "We are not sacred, just want to have a bowl of rice to eat. If you don't give me anything, if we can't live, then everyone will suffer." He discussed with many farmers and said: "They don't want to give me anything, so just burn their car."

The farmers yelled in unison: "Yeah! They ran away after lighting the fire! We can still grab some mules and horses!" Everyone started to pierce the torch, and someone hit the flint on the ground. The prince's staff was anxious: "What! You want to burn the car!"

The rose said angrily: "If you don't burn it, you don't give it to me!"

The torch was lit, and as soon as the rose waved, a few people threw the torch into the convoy, and the prince's staff shouted: "Stop! Stop!"

If these grains are robbed, they will report to the officials immediately, and there may be a glimmer of hope of retaking it, but if it burns, there is no hope at all. It is a disaster year, and grains are extremely precious, and it is not easy to raise them, but they cannot be burned.

The prince's staff said loudly: "You can't burn it! That's food!"

When the rose heard it, she yelled like crazy: "Guys, that's food!"

The farmers shouted loudly at the same time and ran over together, unstoppable! Only then did the prince's staff realize that he had said the wrong thing: How can we provide food in a disaster year? Negotiations should be held to leave some for the other party and let the other party let go. It's late now!

Crazy "farmers" swarmed up, hungry tigers rushing to catch the coachman and the rest of the fistfuls of the car, all in a desperate posture of the country folks. People who know martial arts are also hard to beat with four hands at this time, not to mention that their head is still in the hands of others. At this time, someone holding a **** and waving on his head is yelling in fright. People's many picks and picks can be done in a few strokes.

Not long after, the people in the original convoy were all **** and strong. Several farmers opened their pockets. Seeing that it was really food, "weeping with joy"! Some people still "cry their heads and cry"!

The rose wailed for a long while, wiped away the tears choked by the **** juice in the sleeves, and said to a group of people who were tied up: "We have to thank you uncles! This food can save a lot of people's lives. I want to blame everyone. Don't blame us."

The farmers gagged all the people who tied their limbs, dragged them to the vicinity of the original sinkhole, and threw them in. These talents discovered that this place has dug pits, more than 30 in size, how stupid these farmers are! With so many of them, they rushed over, and they were able to **** the carts and horses. How could they still dig so many holes!

These people are still wondering that these robbers are making so much noise on the road, but there are no pedestrians from the north to the south. They didn't know the north-south direction. There were "fleeing" merchants, telling everyone that "there are robbers ahead!" They just told other people that these "merchants" didn't say that these robbers didn't hurt lives. Pedestrians are no longer leaving, and only when there are more people walking with them, do they start the journey together.

The "farmers" put withered branches on the pit, got into the carriage, and drove away. I galloped along the road for two days and one night. At night, I arrived at a pier in Lianghu and unloaded all the food and iron packages from the car on the boat. Car, but left horses or mules. The robbers in this team were getting fewer and fewer, until they disappeared completely one day.

The boats on the lake left the shore overnight, and one night three days later, they berthed beside the other shore of the lake. A dozen horse-drawn carriages came, and after a few nights, the grains were unloaded and sent to the brewery.

The people trapped in the pit struggled for a long time before someone broke free of the rope. Shouting for help, but this area is very desolate, it is late, and there are no travellers on the road. These people had just been robbed, so they didn't dare to walk at night, so they had to wait until the next day. The next day, these people walked for a whole day before reaching a county seat. They went to the yamen to report the case, and waited until the yamen came out to check, another day later, where was the shadow of the carriage asking passers-by to chase them down, at most they found a few cars, the grain and iron on the car, and those The robbers and farmers have long since disappeared.

-------------------------------------------------- -

Lilac, who was talked about by the rose, the young man now named Zhang Ding complained to Wang Zhi sadly at the border: "The weather here is so terrible! It's been a few months now, and it's still so cold! Spring is almost in Beijing, it's almost into summer." Come on, why did the snowflakes float here last night"

Wang Zhi snorted: "How can there be good weather in such a place where dogs don't shit, you are so stupid, you just leave a good capital and don't wait, come here to suffer!"

Zhang Ding shook his head: "The capital can't stay, otherwise my hands and feet may be chopped off. But I should go south at the time. The weather over there will definitely be better than this."

Wang Zhi sighed: "It's too late to say this now. Why did the second son always let you accompany you wherever you go these days?"

Zhang Ding sighed: "This master is just walking around outside the city endlessly. I don't know what to see in those stone mountains. My neck shrank for a day and didn't dare to straighten it out. I'm about to become a bastard. "

Wang Zhi laughed: "Where does anyone say that they are the bastard?" After finishing speaking, I felt a little uncomfortable: Xia Zi looks good, and she left by herself. She won't be obedient to women.

Zhang Ding said: "Actually, I shouldn't complain too much, at least I didn't follow the old man. The old man always went to the hardest place to stay with the soldiers. I really don't know what he is doing."

Wang Zhi asked: "I heard that the eldest son has his own guard. He went to those places to pick people."

Zhang Ding shook his head: "I heard the second son said that the eldest son is just picking whoever is poor. There are orphans, young children, and patients in the family. If you ask him, he will be placed in his guard. Now. My heart is too soft!"

Wang Zhi sneered and said, "It's just to invite people to buy people's hearts. After saving those people, those people will not give up to protect him."

Zhang Ding nodded repeatedly, so as not to reveal his true opinion, and said: "In fact, it is not good to do this. Those people are so incapable of putting on the stage, they are not good at it, and they can't do it even if they want to save him."

Wang Zhi said in contempt: "So don't think those princes are superior, they are actually quite stupid."

Zhang Ding smiled and patted Wang Zhi on the shoulder: "Brother Wang is a smart first-class man!"

Wang Zhi smiled: "I can't talk about it, but I'm a little bit more minded than others. You will mix with me in the future and you won't suffer."

Zhang Ding nodded again: "Thank you, brother for the mention!"

In a remote valley outside the city, teams of soldiers were doing push-ups, sweat dripping from their chins, and there was a small puddle of water in front of everyone. While watching, Shen Yi said to Shen Jian beside him: "Why did you come here today without a tail?"

Shen Jian shook his head: "Let Zhang Ding pester Wang Zhi, and I slipped out by myself. Don't worry, brother, of course I won't expose you. How many people are there now?"

Shen Yi said: "It's only more than four hundred."

Shen Jian said: "There are not many people. Brother understands each of them's life experience and talents, and they are all useful. I told my father yesterday that he is about to start work. He is very satisfied with you and said that you have your own ideas. "

Shen Yi smiled bitterly: "He didn't say that to me. He told me not to listen to him when he met."

Shen Jian said: "Just do it, you should be a disobedient, don't be by his side, and pull out a team secretly. I will be a disobedient, by his side, I will start to manage most sergeants."

Shen Yi sighed: "There is still not enough manpower. We must understand the background of the soldiers level by level, and we must have our own confidants. These require people and time."

Shen Jian whispered: "We still have time, five years, and five years."

Shen Yi took a deep breath: "At that time, I had ten thousand people."

Shen Jian pursed his lips tightly: "I have to be my father's deputy and have the power to command soldiers and generals."

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly: No one's shoulders are easy.

-------------------------------------------------

The information sent from the border to the prince, once again said that Lord Shen was still in the grassroots level. After the second son of Shen was familiar with the terrain and environment, he entered the chief account of the Chinese army and became the clerk of Zhenbeihou. This is a traditional starting position to become the commander-in-chief in the future, and it further confirms that Lord Shen did not follow military conventions and might not be liked by Zhenbei Hou.

However, this piece of information did not get the Prince's attention, because the Prince first got the news that the food was robbed.

"Dang!" The prince smashed the inkstone on the case against the person who was kneeling against him. The inkstone was inaccurate and hit the large vase behind him, and the vase shattered.

"Who dares to do this! Go check it out! Who is it! If you can't find it out, be careful of your own lives!"

The staff crowed and bowed: "Really ignorant stupid people! They all took picks and didn't dare to kill, and in the end they didn't hurt us alone! These people dug a huge pit, there are more than 30, just to catch a few. Someone chasing them! At that time, I couldn't wait to give them something, so they wanted to burn the car and threw torches on the car! The ministers didn't want them to burn the grain, so they called it the grain. As a result, when they said it was grain, they were crazy Now, we all ran over and tied us up. Some people cried when they saw the food..."

Another staff member agreed and said: "Yes, this means that you don't want to kill people, but you don't want to get enemies. It seems that these people shouldn't be against people, they really want to rob things." If we can't find out, it will cost us our lives. Don't check it.

The prince said coldly: "Since I am a stupid citizen, why can't I find food and people afterwards!"

The staff said: "Listening to those people's accents, it should be the native farmers in that area. There was no grass and their home was in that mountainous area. Once the grain was in hand, they would definitely go back to the village to distribute it. The villagers got the grain. Naturally, they won't report them. They also drove out the empty carts and horses for sale. After taking the money, the descendants would be gone. If it's really a robber, at least the horses should be kept, which can be used for robbery and running. ."

One of the staff members said: "This time I'm waiting for the slightest. I don't know that the disaster has been so serious. Not only are there real bandits, but there are so many farmers who want to take risks. The escorts we hired are too bad. After being arrested, few other people dared to move. This is still the largest and strongest in the capital, and soldiers will have to be used in the future."

Another staff member sighed: "Nowadays, it is to raise grain quickly, and next time it is shipped, we will use heavy soldiers to protect each other."

The prince said coldly: "Where can the heavy soldiers get the heavy soldiers and the guards of the East Palace must not be used! What if I let my father know about this!"

Everyone dared not say anything, the prince frowned tightly, and couldn't accept this stupid bandit's explanation of robbing food in his heart. Vaguely, he felt that there was someone behind here, who would it be? The man who was openly discordant with him was Zhenbei Hou Mansion. He asked: "What's there recently in Beihou, Zhen?"

The staff member said: "It seems that Master Shen is not at peace with Zhenbeihou, and has not joined the Chinese Army, while the Second Master Shen has already joined the Chinese Army."

One of the staff swiftly said: "I thought that Zhenbeihou probably didn't want Master Shen and the Third Prince to keep close, but Master Shen was unwilling to be obedient."

The staff then said: "The Hou Mansion in Zhenbei is also the same as before. The eldest lady practices martial arts every day, and the second lady usually stays in the house and sleeps every day. Third son Shen always goes out to play chess, sometimes with Mr. Zhang in Ping Yuanhou. meet."

One person answered the question: "His Royal Highness wants to find someone to **** the grain. If you can find someone who has led soldiers in the past, such as Ping Yuanhou, let him help His Highness..."

The crown prince frowned and asked: "The gift of the four princesses is this month, how are you going to deal with the prince Zhang"

Everyone understands that after this food looting, the four princesses and Pingyuan Hou Mansion become more important and have strategic significance: if Pingyuan Hou Mansion is pulled to the prince's boat, Li's wealth can be sufficient for the prince to raise food. Of funds. If food is delivered again, Ping Yuanhou can arrange an **** from the old ministry.

The staff replied: "I'm just waiting for the four princesses and the queen. In May, there is a lotus party in the Houfu of Changle, and the princes and ladies from all gates of the capital are invited to come to enjoy the flowers."

Although Changle Houfu was abolished because of its queen, its reputation is far worse than before. But Changle Houfu is still the prince's foreign family after all, and always has a status.

If you want to calculate the grandpa Zhang, you must clearly be at the prince's outside house. If something goes wrong, it is just a nail in your head. The surroundings are his own people, and the grandpa Zhang can't escape.

---------------------------------

Late at night, Shen Zhuo walked through the Changle Houfu.

Many years ago, he played chess here with the youngest son of Changle Hou who was five years older than him. That is, on the night of the Lantern Festival, Shen Wen ran into the fourth princess and the eldest prince.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhuo hated Shen Wen in his heart for keeping himself and his family in the dark. Of course, he also understood that this anger had something to do with how unclear he was ashamed at the beginning.

Although many things are not done by Shen Wen personally now, she was a little girl who was able to see the crisis many years ago, and the emergency was right. This fact makes Shen Zhuo feel that being a brother is very challenging!

A few days ago, Zhang Yunming approached Shen Zhuo and told him to help him find a young man of the right age in the Changle Houfu, to keep in touch with each other so that he could use it in the future. The two people agreed to see each other in five days, and they were ventilated.

When Shen Zhuo heard it, he knew it was full of conspiracies. At that time, there were rumors in the city that who didn't know that the four princesses in the palace had booked the grandson Zhang and the matter remained up in the air. It seems that the emperor did not agree. Now that Young Master Zhang wants to get involved with the Prince's foreign family, this is obviously looking for a backing. Shen Zhuo smirked, picking up a dark night and stepping on the things that Mr. Zhang asked.

Changle Houfu's night is very lively. The abandoned elder brother Jia Qing has grandsons. When Shen Zhuo came last time, he already had more than a dozen children of his concubine. Over the years, he added a few more, and there are also grandchildren of his concubine, Changle Houfu. Every courtyard was crowded, with children crying and adults shouting or arguing everywhere. Don't say that Shen Zhuo walked on the roof with light effort, just stepped on a piece of tile in one step, and no one would hear it.

Shen Zhuo found the main hall of the Hou Mansion. The fat middle-aged and old man in it should be Changle Hou Jiaqing. The one in front of him who has also been blessed in his 40s should be his eldest son Jia Daguan.

Jia Qingzheng said: "...I have handed over several posts to see your aunt, but there is no news. What do you mean by the prince, why don't you let me see his mother"

Shen Zhuo stopped and wanted to listen carefully.

Jia Qing's son Jia Daguan answered hesitatingly: "Maybe, because the aunt is in the cold palace, the prince doesn't want people to notice his father, you know, when you enter the palace, everyone doesn't watch it."

Jia Qing lowered his voice: "I'm not really in a rush to see your aunt, but last year, she asked someone to bring out a letter from the palace, which meant that I wanted me to pick someone for the four princesses. But after that, I didn't believe it anymore, did her words count or not count."

Official Jia frowned: "There are no married men in our house. Except for the younger brother, there are a few concubines and other offspring. The younger brother, because the wife died of two families, everyone said that he was killed by his wife, so it has been delayed until now. He is eight years older than the fourth princess. Let the fourth princess marry him. Will the aunt be unhappy, except for the little brother, everyone else is really not worthy of the fourth princess."

Jia Qing sighed: "That's why I wanted to ask her! But why didn't the prince let my uncle enter the palace?" How did he know that the prince was afraid that he would talk to Jia Jingfei about this, and he had told people not to Let him go into the palace to see Concubine Jia Jing.

The middle-aged man said: "Last time the four princesses came to pay his father birthday, the younger brother also went to see him. I think the younger brother meant that I did not dislike the fourth princess."

Jia Qing hummed: "What can he dislike now, which good people dare to marry his daughter to him"

The middle-aged man whispered, "But the fourth princess, that temper, you know..."

Jia Qing waved his hand: "That's what your aunt is used to. Little girl, marry someone, and if she suffers a loss, she will be sensible. If she is disobedient, she will lift people into the house. I think she can stand alone and not admit defeat. This woman, just can't give face. If she loses her temper, you will ignore her immediately and look back for ten or eight, and see if she dares to be temperamental."

Official Jia said with a smile: "It is precisely..."

Shen Zhuo rolled his eyes, no wonder there are so many people in Changle Houfu!

Jia Qing sighed again: "To tell you the truth, our mansion has little money now. If you marry the fourth princess to your brother's name, her dowry should have many treasures, and it can be rescued."

Official Jia frowned: "This... can it work, she must not have her dowry from the princess mansion, and she must not control it herself"

Jia Qing chuckled: "Just take care of it! Let your brother go and read about our house every day. It's not good to eat and dress well. I don't believe that she can watch without paying the money. If she doesn't give it, let her go. I stole it and sold it, and then said the thief was lost, who can find out."

Official Jia said hesitantly: "I'm afraid the emperor and the prince..."

Jia Qing waved his hand: "Don't worry, the emperor can abolish your aunt. How much heart can he have for this broken daughter. The prince hasn't even dared to put a fart in front of the emperor over the years. Don't let it go, I can fight for his sister to come and fight with her in-laws with great fanfare. Who else can she marry the fourth princess? She marries your brother, at least we won't kill her. Marrying to another house, she That temper, meet someone who doesn't like her, hum..."

Official Jia laughed: "Father is really foresight."...

Shen Zhuo didn't want to listen too much, moved his steps, peeping back and forth in several courtyards, and finally found the youngest son of Jia Family who had played chess with him before.

If it hadn't been for Shen Zhuo to look for him deliberately, if the two of them had actually met on the street, Shen Zhuo probably wouldn't recognize him. This son of Jia should be only twenty-two-three, but he is a bit puffy, and looks like he is thirty years old. At this moment, he was lying halfway on the bed. Two maids were feeding him snacks piece by piece, while the other was holding a towel and wiping his mouth occasionally.

Shen Zhuo despised this kind of man, but to get close to him, he had to understand some of his preferences. Shen Zhuo had to squat on the eaves and listen to the movement in the house.

A maid smiled and said, "My son's lips are bright red, so you have someone's rouge?"

Shen Zhuo almost didn't vomit: Bright red drank blood, right?

The other yelled: "You little vinegar! The son is by your side today, and I ate you too!"

Young Master Jia laughed: "Listen to you, you are jealous too."

The voice of a maid: "My son, how can I not be jealous? I don't think it is enough to guard my son every day!"

Another: "You should be careful! When the mistress enters the door, you must be sent off first!"

Young Master Jia: "How come! I will protect you."

A maid whispered: "I used to hear people say that your aunt wants to pick a husband for the four princesses in this mansion!"

Another maid: "Oh, son, in this mansion, only the son is the son of the prostitute, and everyone else is the son of the son. Then in the future, only the son can become a son!"

Master Jia's lazy voice: "Don't talk nonsense, it has been a long time, and there is no result."

A maid said in a low voice, "I heard that it was because the fourth princess hadn't made it yet. If it's time, son, you will soon become a messenger!"

The voice of another maid: "Don't be so happy, who doesn't know that the fourth princess is very temperamental. If she becomes the mistress, there is still a way for us to survive."

Gongzi Jia said hurriedly: "How can you say that she is her, you are you! Then live separately, don't mess with her. She's all shameless, who wants her to marry me, how dare she do her? If you are not a girl, you can't wait for me to clean up her at night..."

A maid exclaimed: "My son! Don't say that..."

Young Master Jia smiled and said, "Don't be serious, as if you haven't done it before!"

The other also smiled and said, "That's right, as if we haven't seen you do it..."

A string of screams and screams...

Shen Zhuo couldn't listen anymore, got up and ran out of the Changle Houfu. He felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten his stomach. He couldn't go anywhere at night, so he went back to the Hou Mansion, drank a pot of light tea, took a good bath, and cleaned up both inside and outside.

Chapter 78

On the day when he was going to meet Zhang Yunming, Shen Zhuo went to Guanyi Pavilion and wandered around every table before stopping next to Zhang Yunming who was playing chess. He watched for a while, and then he was pointing randomly on one side, and Zhang Yunming was quickly defeated. Zhang Yunming looked at Shen Zhuo with a calm face: "Why are you going out of the city for a walk again."

Shen Zhuo raised his nose: "Go! I'm just about to go for a walk with you!"

The two of them left Guanyi Pavilion and rode out of the city all the way. When they arrived at a place, they fought, making dust all over their bodies, and then lay their heads close together.

Shen Zhuo sighed and said: "You found a good thing for me! It made me sick all night."

Zhang Yunming laughed: "So bad, there are really few good ones in that house."

undefinedShen Zhuo sat up and said to Zhang Yunming: "You seem to have known it a long time ago! I found the son of Jia. You are really out of luck! He has a reputation for being a wife, and he hasn't gotten married until now. Good-sexy It's nasty again, with a common room, and he doesn't even look down on women. His father still wants to covet the dowry of the fourth princess...""

Zhang Yunming also sat up and shook his head with emotion and said, "It's so perfect!"

Shen Zhuo said: "That's right! Such a person will act for the benefit of the opportune moment and do not speak any moral principles. Give me a beauty, lead him, and let him talk to me, and it will be easy to talk later."

Zhang Yunming then laughed: "I don't have a woman to lead him. All the maids in our house have to get married. I only have a man."

Shen Zhuo suddenly pointed the air with his finger: "That...that...your cousin's little boy...the beautiful one..."

Zhang Yunming said manly: "His name is Du Juan..."

Shen Zhuo shuddered, and hurriedly said: "Don't talk like that, I don't mean that!" What can I do if his sister misunderstands him?

Zhang Yunming curled his lips in disdain: At this time, he was so careful, stupid and stupid! I also thought that Shen Zhuo's sister, Fat Duck, was smarter than herself. His stupid brother actually ordered the other party's clothes and helped her... logically, the other party coveted his sister, but his younger brother coveted each other's. Sister, this is a tie, but Zhang Yunming always feels a loss in his heart! Can not help but sighed.

Seeing Zhang Yunming sighed, Shen Zhuo thought he was worrying about the Fourth Princess, so he said, "Don't worry, I will help you!"

Zhang Yunming stood up, dusting the soil while despising Shen Zhuo: "You come to sympathize with me no matter how old you are!"

Shen Zhuo also got up, snapped and patted, and said with a smile: "How do you know you are not gloating?"

Zhang Yunming squinted: "Don't be too proud of you!"

Shen Zhuo immediately acted reasonable and reasonable: "Master Zhang, I have to deal with Master Jia for you."

Zhang Yunming has no choice but to close his eyes, forget it, he can't help it if he doesn't like him, now he has to work together.

A few days later, Master Jia of the Changle Houfu was walking down the street, and suddenly saw a beautiful woman coming out of a powder shop with her waist twisted. This woman is gorgeously dressed, with long thrushes, flour blush, and heavy make-up. At first glance, she is not a good girl, but she has a gorgeous face and a very cold expression. She walks domineeringly on a scented car.

Gongzi Jia immediately moved on, and rushed forward, ready to say something. In a hurry, he slammed a person on the road to one side. The man shouted: "Oh!" Gongzi Jia hurriedly saluted: "Yes. Don't stop!" But the eyes still look forward.

The woman only glanced here when she heard the sound, then stretched out her hand to draw the curtain and got into the carriage. The carriage grumbled away, and the man who was hit by Master Jia also looked in that direction and said disdainfully, "Who thinks I am, so proud."

Upon hearing this, Master Jia hurriedly turned around and asked the man: "Do you know the source of that woman"

The young man looked familiar. Young Master Jia was puzzled. The young man blinked vigorously: "We must have met..." Seeing that Young Master Jia hadn't remembered yet, he had to remind him again: "Uh, I remember we are... Let's play chess..."

Gongzi Jia finally remembered: "San Gongzi Shen!"

Shen Zhuo also quickly "remembered": "Changle Houfu...Jia Gongzi!" Both sides saluted. The prince was at odds with Zhenbeihou's Mansion. Everyone didn't know, but Changlehou rarely talked about these things at home, so Master Jia didn't care so much. Empress Jia is no longer in his seat. The Changle Hou Mansion is obviously not as powerful as Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Young Master Jia doesn't want to throw away the face of San Young Master Shen, let alone San Young Master Shen knows the background of that woman.

Shen Zhuo looked melancholy: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, right"

Young Master Jia smiled: "That's right, I'm lucky enough to meet you!"

Shen Zhuo also smiled: "Fortunately to meet you."

Young Master Jia pointed his chin in the direction of the carriage: "San Young Master Shen knows where that woman is just now."

Shen Zhuo said, "I saw the words'Dechun Tower' on the carriage. I think it's a man of Qing-lou." The red card there is very expensive, and you don't have any money anyway.

Young Master Jia just patronized the beauty, and when he heard the name of the carriage, he knew that he couldn't bear it, and he showed regret.

Shen Zhuo promptly "righteously" said: "These women know that they want money! They even look down on people!"

Gongzi Jia felt that the third master Shen was ridiculously naive, and Yuhan taught: "Little brother, you don't know it! It's just a means for the woman to look down on you."

Shen Zhuo's expression was stunned: "That's how it is!"

Young Master Jia touched Shen Zhuo's arm with his hand: "Of course! She looks down on you, just waiting for you to abuse her. Women love to play with these prudent eyes, but they all owe you..." He couldn't get it. You have to say something ill of it.

Shen Zhuo thought about what he had touched with this hand, and did not move his arm for a long time, and smiled reluctantly: "I'm really ignorant, or else, I will ask Master Jia to have a drink and ask for advice."

The son of Jia laughed haha: "Go, let me tell you some ways to rectify women. The saint has said it, but women and villains are difficult to raise..."

Grain is expensive, and wine brewed from grain is naturally more expensive. Young Master Jia hasn't drunk a pot for a long time. He heard that Shen Zhuo wanted to buy wine, so he was immediately in high spirits. Shen Zhuo endured the uncomfortable feeling in his belly, took Master Jia into a restaurant, ordered wine and food, and persuaded Master Jia to drink. Gongzi Jia had a sweet wine and opened the chattering box. He told Shen Zhuo many secrets in the backyard and the way to treat women. So after sending Master Jia away, Shen Zhuo vomited a lot while holding on to the wall and returned to the mansion for a day. belly. So scared Yang thought he had eaten it outside, so he called a doctor to show him.

However, this time the dinner and dinner greatly shortened the distance between the two people, so that after drinking, Master Jia generously invited Shen Zhuo to attend the lotus meeting in his house, and Shen Zhuo "had no choice but to" agree.

When meeting Zhang Yunming again, Shen Zhuo said viciously: "You owe me, remember, you owe me a big deal! Disgusting me!"

Zhang Yunming is inexplicable: "My younger brother's servant shouldn't be so ugly dressed as a woman, how disgusting?"

Shen Zhuo pointed to his stomach: "It's here! It's uncomfortable here! When I heard that Young Master Jia speak, I felt sick in my stomach."

Zhang Yunming didn't believe it: "How could it be because you accidentally ate."

Shen Zhuo was angrily: "Next time you go to Changle Houfu, you will know by listening!"

Zhang Yunming said: "That's natural. They have already posted the May Lotus Meeting. You will show me the way. I will go to Changlefu in advance."

Shen Zhuo waved his hand and said, "I don't want to go anymore! What if I have a stomach trouble there?"

Zhang Yunming sighed slightly: "My sister also got a post from the Lotus Club, but I actually don't want her to go."

Shen Zhuo frowned and said nothing.

--------------------------------------

The ceremony of the four princesses and 笄 is very simple. The Ministry of Etiquette did not intervene, it was handled by the concubine of a council member of the palace for the fourth princesses.

It stands to reason that both parents must attend the ceremony, but the fourth princess's mother is the abandoned concubine Jia Jing. In Lenggong, she can't come even if she wants to: she can't get out of the bed now, so naturally she can't come to give the fourth princess a hairpin. Because of the severe spring drought and busy political affairs, the emperor didn't want to spend an hour or two attending the ceremony. He only came to sit for a while at the beginning, gave the four princesses a letter, and left after receiving the worship of the four princesses. Among the elders of the four princesses, there is still an aunt, Mrs. Changle Hou, but the prince is afraid that people from the Changle Hou Mansion will go to see Concubine Jia Jing. When it comes to the news that the four princesses must marry into the Changle Hou Mansion, he deliberately refuses to let Changle. People from the Hou Mansion entered the palace and only told the four princesses that Mrs. Changle Hou was ill and could not come.

The fourth princess didn't want to marry into the Changle Hou Mansion, and there is no regret for her aunt not coming. Only in this way, after the emperor left, there would be no elders in the ceremony, and the rest of the ceremony seemed to have no weight. Those who stayed to watch the whole ceremony, except for the prince who was a little frowned about Chaotang, were the concubines in the palace. The four princesses could clearly see that these concubines were not here to congratulate themselves. The emperor was there, and they all looked at the emperor with bright eyes. As soon as the emperor left, they became absent-minded.

The four princesses used to look down on those noble ladies in the capital, and did not make friends outside the palace. As a result, she didn't even have a complier of the same age in her ceremony.

In view of the restless appearance of the audience, the concubine who was in charge of the process of the ceremony simplified the tedious etiquette again and again, and soon it was the hairpin insertion ceremony. The wedding ceremony in the palace was supposed to be inserted by the queen, but now the back seat is empty. The one who came forward to insert the hairpin for the four princesses is a young concubine whom the four princesses don't know. He was introduced to be Concubine Xue. The four princesses have also heard rumors that this is the emperor's favorite person, who has just been promoted to a noble concubine.

Concubine Xue Gui was four or five years older than the fourth princess, and she actually got the role of the most noble hairpin insertion person in Ji Li, which in itself contained humiliation: no one of the elder concubines in the palace wanted to be the fourth princess. Inserting a hairpin symbolizes that the four princesses cannot get the blessings of their elders, and the four princesses more or less saw the sneer in the eyes of everyone.

She was so resentful in her heart that she could only tell herself over and over again that one day she would come back and laugh at these **** who have been locked up here all her life!

The four princesses now feel that they are full of human affection: the eyes of the **** palace people always look at her with disrespect! No matter how she beat and scolded, she couldn't erase the sarcasm from those people's faces. They are laughing at her! Her mother was once a queen, but now she is seriously ill in the cold-gong! What a shame this is! This is a failure! She needs to succeed! As a woman, the most successful thing is to have a good marriage! Marry a good husband! Husband is wealthy and noble! She must turn over and wash away the stain of her mother being scrapped, so that everyone is full of envy for her!

Countless times, she recalled Zhang Yunming's sloppy smile, chic posture, and luxurious clothes... She must get him! No matter what means, no matter what sacrifice, she must marry him! That is her hope, her guarantee! As long as she can get him, then she can stand up again! She will have a new life, full of confidence and happiness again, let those who look down on her see that she is living better than them!

--------------------------------------

Zhang Yunzheng and Master Song returned to the capital one day after the Fourth Princess and the ceremony. They told Pingyuanhou about the process. Everyone laughed. That night, Zhang Yunzheng took Zhang Yunming to the courtyard.

Shen Wen happily found that he was beginning to pull a strip: the body that was as thick as the upper and lower parts stretched out, the waist showed obvious curves, the chest began to ache, and there was a small hill. Shen Wen forced his clothes behind him, pinched his waist, and twisted to Su Wanniang: "Do you think I'm thin?"

Su Wanniang nodded and said, "I'm really thin and taller."

Shen Wen said: "If anyone dares to say that I am a pig, I will be anxious with him!"

Su Wanniang remembers that Shen Xiang always said that Shen Wen is a pig, and said with a smile: "Miss, that is because she likes you and calls you like someone close to you. How can anyone call someone a pig if they are an outsider or someone called a pig? It's so hard that people don't work hard, only family members call it that, silly pig, little pig, stupid pig, etc. They are all nicknames. In the past, Xiaoya did stupid things, and I always said he was a pig."

Shen Wen's heart was beating, and he whispered: "I don't think he is using a nickname."

Su Wanniang thought that Shen Wen was talking about Shen Xiang, and said with a smile: "Why not? Although I don't usually walk around, there is something really going on, the eldest lady must be helpful. The eldest will definitely protect her sisters out of righteousness, don't you? Can you see it?"

Shen Wen thought that Zhang Yunzheng was not a righteous person, who had done so many things for himself, how much he had helped, turned away and did not dare to face Su Wanniang, for fear that she would see her embarrassment. Su Wanniang didn't notice, she whispered: "The blue Swift material is really good, I'm done, you can put it on tonight."

Shen Wen remembered that the material was also given by Zhang Yunzheng, and whispered: "Where can the material get better?"

Su Wanniang tutted: "You don't know anymore. Cut the thread without loosening it, but it doesn't feel thick at all. The swallow swayed under the light, as if it could fly. It's a pity to make a night gown. Without waiting for Shen Wen's answer, Su Wanniang sighed again: "You can't do anything else without making night clothes. You said this black material must be given to the elderly. But the Swifts fly, how do the elderly wear them if they walk at night? Clothes, men can't use this pattern either. It's too light, so you have to give it to women. There are a few women who can walk at night, you can do it lightly, which is in harmony with the meaning of swallows. This material looks like it's made for you.

Shen Wen was so frightened that he didn't dare to think about it anymore, and just said: "How could it be a coincidence."

That night, Shen Wen put on his new night clothes and went to the courtyard. All the way thinking that Zhang Yunzheng should be back soon, when he arrived in the courtyard, he saw the light in the room and his chest suddenly jumped, so he didn't dare to call the door immediately. After brewing in the yard for a while, he threw the sand on the window paper.

The door opened immediately, and Zhang Yunming put his hands on the door panel and smiled and said, "It's been a long time, Little Fat Duck, you look very happy."

Shen Wen pursed his lower lip and smiled and said, "That's because you are doing well."

Zhang Yunming raised his eyebrows: "How do you know things are going well"

In the room, Zhang Yunzheng said, "Why didn't you manage it?"

Zhang Yunming let the road open, Shen Wen entered, and Zhang Yunming whispered beside her: "He is now as proud as a cock, you have to beat him!"

Zhang Yunzheng said loudly: "What are you talking about! Are you jealous?"

Shen Wen saw Zhang Yunzheng standing next to the table, with half-drafted eyelids and an upturned mouth. She had an arrogant and proud expression, but she didn't want to hit him at all, so she smiled sweetly and said, "Then tell me how. What's going on."

When Zhang Yunzheng heard Shen Wen's accent, he immediately frowned, and said to Zhang Yunming, "I don't want to say it again. Tell her!"

Zhang Yunming told the story of the robbery. Shen Wen was very satisfied and nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Yunzheng glanced at her and pulled the corner of his mouth.

After Zhang Yunming finished talking about the robbery, he asked: "Our mansion has received an invitation from the Changle Houfu Lotus Meeting. Does your mansion have any posts?"

Shen Wen shook his head and said, "No, Changle Hou Mansion will not invite Zhenbei Hou Mansion."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "It's better not to go."

Zhang Yunming smiled and said: "It's okay, your third brother was verbally invited by Master Jia.

Shen Wen smiled and said to Zhang Yunming: "It seems that they should be doing it at the Lotus Club. Changle Houfu is the Prince's uncle's house. They want to catch turtles in the urn."

Zhang Yunzheng said to Zhang Yunming: "Brother, he called you a turtle."

Zhang Yunming squinted at Shen Wen as if aiming, and Shen Wen hurriedly said: "Actually, you are much more cunning than a turtle!"

Zhang Yunzheng actually laughed, and Zhang Yunming stabbed him: "Which side are you on!"

Shen Wen smiled and looked at Zhang Yunming: "They are really blind, why would they get a bite when they catch you."

Zhang Yunming slowly shook his head to Shen Wen: "You are taking revenge on me because I call you a little fat duck"

Shen Wen replied incomprehensibly: "Why is it just because they designed you like this?"

Zhang Yunzheng didn't like that as soon as Shen Wen came in and only talked to Zhang Yunming, he grabbed a small paper bag from the table and handed it to Shen Wen, saying, "For you!"

Zhang Yunming frowned and looked at Zhang Yunzheng. Zhang Yunzheng didn't look at him.

Shen Wen picked it up and opened it. Inside was a packet of red dried fruit. Zhang Yunzheng brought himself something again. Shen Wen decided to cherish this kind of gesture, so he picked up a piece and placed it between the two rows of teeth and chewed it carefully. Her eyebrows couldn't help but frowned: It's so sour! But after the sourness, there is a slight sweetness, like other dried fruits, it is the taste that girls like.

Zhang Yunzheng raised an eyebrow: "Do you like it?"

Shen Wen watched Zhang Yunzheng staring at his sparkling eyes, and nodded involuntarily. Zhang Yunzheng immediately snorted: "I guess so! The locals all feed this to the pigs, saying that the pigs have gained weight after eating..."

Zhang Yunming laughed loudly. Shen Wen turned red when he thought of Su Wanniang's words. He stared at Zhang Yunzheng with round eyes and opened his mouth and said, "You are so muddled..." The ball is wrong, it sounds vulgar! The egg is even more wrong, how can a lady talk like that? She wants to be more dignified...

Zhang Yunming saw Shen Wen's tongue-in-cheek, and "kindly" reminded: "Human! Asshole! This is very suitable, right"

Shen Wen turned to Zhang Yunming and said, "You don't need to think of words for me!" At the same time, Zhang Yunzheng also said to him: "Don't make trouble here!"

Zhang Yunming said in surprise: "Why am I not human inside and out"

Zhang Yunzheng said, "Of course, I didn't say that you were the one who was going to be caught!"

Zhang Yunming said angrily: "Did you just smear your face with mud and take a **** to knock down people? What's so great when I pretended to be garlic outside, you were still wiping tears in the house..."

Zhang Yunzheng punched: "Who wiped the tears?"

Zhang Yunming dodged: "It's you! Don't deny it! Crying and let me walk back and forth with you on your back, let me take you out to play..."

Zhang Yunzheng flushed, and continued to punch: "You nonsense!"

Zhang Yunming stood up and jumped back and forth, saying, "I'm not talking nonsense! You have a bad memory when you are so young."

Shen Wen said loudly: "Don't fight anymore! We have something to do!"

Zhang Yunzheng stopped his hand, his face was still a little red. Shen Wen saw that he was also embarrassed, so he stopped pursuing him and opened the door of the secret room and said, "I have drawn a lot of pictures." She went and took out her. The pictures drawn over a period of time are placed on the case. Zhang Yunzheng frowned as he flipped through it, "What are these! It looks like chaotic grass!"

Shen Wen sighed: "Okay, okay, you can draw it clearly, it's time to start building weapons."

So Zhang Yunzheng started asking questions from the first picture. After Shen Wen decided to come back, he carefully studied the weapons of this era, and memorized the improvement of the equivalent weapons of future generations. But she is not a physicist herself, and she doesn't understand the principles of mechanics. She is completely memorized book knowledge. When asked why this was the case, or how it could be replaced if it didn't happen, she didn't know. Zhang Yunzheng had to jot down the details and questions one by one, preparing to study it by himself or ask the craftsman in the future.

Zhang Yunming was disturbed by the upcoming lotus meeting, unable to concentrate on the careful study of various weapons, so he sat on the side and watched Zhang Yunzheng checking the sketch and taking notes with Shen Wen there. The more he looked at those hideous weapons, the more jealous Shen Wen was. A woman who can design so many murderous weapons, if she marries her younger brother, she will not be able to bear her lifelong heart. But now Shen Wen's design obviously needs Zhang Yunzheng to perfect, unable to separate the two people, he can only sigh.

Seeing the time is almost up, Shen Wen put down the picture, and Zhang Yunzheng yawned greatly. Shen Wen knew that he had only come back soon, and the journey hadn't recovered yet, so he said, "I've covered all these pictures. You don't have to come every day."

Zhang Yunzheng nodded: "Ten days, I'll come back after I finish painting, you can talk about other things."

Zhang Yunming thought of the lotus meeting within ten days and said, "I still meet before the lotus meeting."

Shen Wen said: "Okay, then it will be the penultimate night. You only need to remember that if the fourth princess goes, the fifth princess must also go. Otherwise, don't go."

Zhang Yunming nodded, but said helplessly: "But how exactly..."

Shen Wen said: "I can tell you by looking at the terrain. I have been to that house and I have an impression, but I don't know the details. I can go and see..."

Zhang Yunming remembered what Shen Zhuo had said, and said hurriedly: "You still don't go, your third brother said that the people there are very dirty."

Zhang Yunzheng glanced at Shen Wen fiercely: "What about running around and staying at home!"

Zhang Yunming said: "I'll draw a topographic map, and you can just give it a pointer."

Shen Wen smiled and said, "Well, you don't have to be too nervous. It's a happy event to take a peach blossom, hehe." The door opened and left.

Before Zhang Yunming could fight back, Zhang Yunzheng looked at the closed door and said, "It's not good to say goodbye!"

Zhang Yunming felt very contradictory to Shen Wen: He didn't like a woman with such a serious mind, but something really happened, and he had to rely on others to make an idea, and sighed: "How old do you think she is very polite like her sister"

Zhang Yunzheng asked: "Is my sister polite?"

Zhang Yunming remembered that Zhang Yunzheng had never been with Zhang Yunjin, and said, "Being taught by my mother is very disciplined."

Zhang Yunzheng pursed his lips: "I will have knowledge someday." After speaking, he went to the next bedroom, fell on the bed and fell asleep.

Zhang Yunming covered Zhang Yunzheng with a quilt, and originally wanted to go back to the house. It can be seen that Zhang Yunzheng was asleep, so he decided to stay here too. Before going to bed, he went to Zhang Yunzheng's bed and whispered: "You have to be **** that little fat duck! Understand, don't be tempted by her!" After that, he went to sleep on the couch next door.

Shen Wen returned to his house, immediately stuffed the paper bag to Su Wanniang, and whispered: "Sister Wanniang, try it, this is very delicious!"

Su Wanniang said eagerly: "You have not eaten, do you have to clean your mouth again?"

Shen Wen took off his clothes and said, "Uh... it doesn't matter once in a while."

Su Wanniang sighed, and asked helplessly: "It was Master Zhang who gave it to you again. You are not too young now, and you can't just accept other people's things."

Shen Wen answered vaguely, lying on the bed without falling asleep for a long time. She thought over and over again what Zhang Yunzheng had said to her, and how he looked, she couldn't figure out what he was thinking. Say that he likes himself, but he always speaks badly about himself, quarrels with himself, and looks at himself fiercely... Say he doesn't like himself, but he always gives himself things and helps himself draw pictures... Shen Wen felt, If people are moved, they have to be sentimental and warm words, etc. Zhang Yunzheng is not up to the number... Only then did she understand what the poem said, "The sunrise on the east and the rain on the west, the road is not clear (love) What does it mean? She really doesn't want to be affectionate, she really doesn't want to ask for it... But if she can be loved... Shen Wen blushed and shook her hands with sweat...

--------------------------------------

In order to draw the picture of Changle Houfu, Zhang Yunming asked Shen Zhuo to meet outside Changle Houfu.

After the meeting, Shen Zhuo said to Zhang Yunming: "You follow me. I took a trip the last time. The place is familiar. Let's go from the main hall."

Zhang Yunming agreed, and the two entered the Changle Houfu where there are busy crowds everywhere: the lotus meeting will be in a few days, and there is still something to be prepared.

Shen Zhuo took Zhang Yunming to the lobby of the Changle Hou Mansion very quickly, and found that there was not only Changle Hou Jia Qing, but also a woman. It seems that he should be Changle Hou's wife, the official Jia he met last time, and The son of Jia who makes himself nauseous.

Young Master Jia complained: "...She is so ugly, so bad tempered, father, I don't want to marry her!" It turned out that Young Master Jia was about to escape, and Shen Zhuo stopped to listen.

Mrs. Changle Hou said: "I'm not happy either! She hasn't lost her temper any time. She's treated our people just like her servants. She doesn't have eyebrows or eyebrows..."

Gongzi Jia said: "I heard that the five princesses are good-looking and temperamental, not as good as..."

Shen Zhuo felt that Zhang Yunming's body beside him suddenly stiffened.

Jia Qing waved his hand: "Five Princess's mother Chen Guifei, whose family is far to the south, has never heard of anyone who has been to the capital. She is a small family. How much money Chen Guifei is dead, she can give the Five Princess Province How many dowry you put in the palace, you will get a few thousand taels of silver. But do you know how much dowry the four princesses have? When my sister was a queen, I went to see her in the palace once, and I was catching up with the overseas pine that was brought in for tribute The green stone headgear is blue and dazzling, and the edges of the headgear are full of gems. My sister smiled and said that she had a phoenix crown, and she couldn't wear it, so she left it as a dowry for the fourth princess..."

Mrs. Jia was pleasantly surprised: "Really, your sister has been a queen for so many years, how many good things have to be saved!"

Jia Qing nodded and said: "A hairpin in the royal family is a life-long chewing for the common people. There should be many treasures in her dowry." He sighed to Master Jia, "I know I wronged you, but last year, the Zhuangzi confiscated it. Get a few grains of grain. Now there are famines everywhere, and the grain is too expensive. In our house, there are many families, old and small, hundreds of people, just buying food, they have used up all of their money. You married She, our mansion can still take a breath."

Mr. Jia still looked very depressed, and the officials persuaded Mr. Jia: "It's just a woman. If you marry, you can stay for a few days if you like it. If you don't like it, you can just leave her alone! You can get a lot of dowry. You can still be called a horse, maybe there will be a name in the annals of history in the future, what's wrong"

Young Master Jia was finally a little happy: "There is still a name in the annals of history"

Jia Qing said: "Of course! After you marry her, the princess in the palace has to bear your name!"

Official Jia said: "Everyone has to salute when they see your face!"

Gongzi Jia had a slight smile, and Chang Lehou lowered his voice: "That day, you looked at the opportunity, pretended to be drunk, hugged her for a while, it's best to pull her clothes! The more people you see, the better."

Young Master Jia was a little nervous: "Prince, will you..."

Jia Qing smiled: "I'm wondering how to prevent his sister from marrying the Fourth Princess. Who else can he marry? He thinks the Fourth Princess is a sweet pastry. If anyone wants to marry her, we want to marry her. But it helped him a lot!"

Young Master Jia still hesitated. Jia Qing said: "Bring a few more people around you, and when you rush away from the people next to the fourth princess, when you find a scapegoat in the future, you will say that the people pushed you. You didn't mean it. ."

Gongzi Jia finally nodded, Shen Zhuo pulled Zhang Yunming, and the two of them flew away, passing by Gongzi Jia's yard, and heard a woman say: "You have been crying to the son for so many days, do you think the son can push the fourth princess away?" "Yes, the son made a promise to me..."

Shen Zhuo didn't want to listen anymore and led Zhang Yunming to the small lake in the Changle Hou Mansion.

The capital draws two rivers across the city, and the Changle Hou Mansion dug a lake on a branch of a small river, and then built a mansion around the lake. Empress Jia was very favored by the emperor at the time, and the emperor gave this beautiful mansion to her brother Changlehou.

Shen Zhuo and Zhang Yunming circled the small lake. Although it was the dry season, the small river flowing through the capital was not dry, so the small lake in Changle Houfu was still full of water. The lotus in the lake closed its petals, but the fragrance was dazzling. Shen Zhuo sighed quietly, "I really ruined such a good place."

Zhang Yunming whispered: "I also think those people are really disgusting."

Shen Zhuo whispered: "It's not that a family still doesn't enter the house. If the four princesses marry into the house, they would be quite good."

Zhang Yunming was silent for a moment, as if suppressing his anger, and said, "That day you will be surrounded by that son of Jia."

Shen Zhuo said: "Don't worry, it will definitely help you block the four princesses."

The two left the Changle Hou Mansion together, and after saying goodbye, Shen Zhuo returned to the mansion.

The next day, Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng arrived at the courtyard.

When I went there, there was a light on the window. As soon as Zhang Yunming touched the door, the door opened. Shen Wen sat at the table inside, with his cheek in his hand, lazy like a cat, looking like he was thinking.

Zhang Yunzheng frowned: "Why don't you tie the door, what if it is not us who comes?"

Shen Wen said weakly: "I heard the footsteps of the two of you a minute ago." She doesn't know how to face Zhang Yunzheng now, so she can only be a low-key person.

Zhang Yunming said: "You can actually hear..."

Zhang Yunzheng interrupted Zhang Yunming: "Take out the picture! I still want to go to bed early!"

Zhang Yunming rolled his eyes at Zhang Yunzheng, took out the map of Changle Houfu from his sleeve and spread it on the table. Then, I recounted what I heard in the Changle Houfu at night.

Shen Wen looked at the picture and nodded: "What are you going to do that day?"

Zhang Yunming said: "It's the disaster you mentioned. Let your third brother lead Master Jia to the vicinity of the fourth princess. Don't let her approach me."

Shen Wen raised his eyes and asked, "Are the five princesses sure to go?"

Zhang Yunming nodded and said, "I asked my sister to write a post for her, and she said she would go."

Shen Wen smirked: "Then I said Li Daitao is stiff, why don't you use it"

Zhang Yunming was a little bit overlord from the mang class Iridium striata striata. "

Shen Wen stared at him: "I will give you a chance to see if she cares about you, what are you doing"

Zhang Yunming looked away and looked at the picture on the table.

Zhang Yunzheng pushed Zhang Yunming impatiently: "Why are you so sticky?" He lifted his chin to Shen Wen and ordered: "Say it out!"

Shen Wen didn't argue, and said, "Since it is the Lotus Fair, everyone must go to the water. Tell me where the water comes from and where does it flow away."

Zhang Yunming pointed to the direction of the flow, and Shen Wen pointed to a place: "This is a bridge." Zhang Yunming nodded and said, "It's a wooden bridge." Shen Wen nodded and pointed to another place: "Here is there a small stone pavilion to sit down?"

Zhang Yunming thought about it, "There is a water pavilion."

Shen Wen smiled: "Great, tomorrow, you will be like this..."

Shen Wen whispered his opinion, Zhang Yunming listened without comment, but in the end, the scholar's white face finally turned red, Zhang Yunzheng also laughed, and Zhang Yunming said, "You are not allowed to go!" He watched jokes.

Zhang Yunzheng snorted: "I'm very busy who wants to go to such a place!"

Shen Wen knew that Zhang Yunming was about to deal with the lotus meeting with all his heart. When he saw Zhang Yunzheng, his face was a little hot and he was too embarrassed to stay longer. After a few more words, he left.

On the night before the flower meeting, the prince was also giving his final reminder to his staff: "All arrangements are made for tomorrow."

An staff member said: "After the arrangement is made, our people will flock to Master Zhang to see the lotus. This is the lotus club. He can't say that he can't go to the water's edge. Once he reaches the water's edge, he will walk across from the fourth princess. , There are more than fifty people on both sides. They squeezed him and couldn't allow him to turn and run. Then they would push him to the fourth princess. Whether he touched the fourth princess or not, he said he was impolite. Princess. It's fine if he recognizes it. If he denies it, we will call people from other provinces to judge. There will be a handkerchief of the four princesses next to him, indicating that he is interested in the four princesses. If he still denies it in every possible way, everyone will be surrounded As he left the mansion, he went up to Pingyuanhou Mansion and told the people in the capital along the street that Grandpa Pingyuan Hou had become interested in the four princesses and started doing it in public..."

The prince frowned and said: "This must be foolproof"

The staff said: "It was really a mistake at the time. Why didn't he move forward, the fourth princess jumped into the water: The water on the shore is shallow and only wet to the calf. If he doesn't save it, our people will push him down. He was in the water with the fourth princess, so everyone came to see and said that he saved the fourth princess, and everyone would know what was going on."

The prince nodded slowly, and the aides said again: "On the side of the four princesses, the palace people are in harmony with each other!

The prince said coldly: "Don't go wrong this time, otherwise..."

Several of the staff nodded carefully, and after leaving the East Palace, they thought about a few remedies to ensure that Master Zhang would be captured tomorrow!

The four princesses did not rest much this night. She felt joyful when she thought that tomorrow she would get the young man who came to her heart and mind these days. When the Changle Houfu was done, he immediately went to the hall to cry, but he couldn't be too wronged, lest his father beheaded him in anger. To be both indignant and willing to forgive, hope that the emperor will be merciful and let yourself be married to Young Master Zhang... Thinking of this, the four princesses couldn't help laughing in bed, and laughed a few times.

Chapter 79

The next day at the Changle Houfu Lotus Fair, the Zhenbei Houfu did not receive the invitation, so naturally no one went, but Shen Zhuo actually told everyone that he was invited by Master Jia, and said with a smile in Shen Xiang's unpleasant sideways. Go to the meeting by yourself. The Yang family didn't know the details, and also told not to cause any trouble. The old lady only raised her eyes slightly. After looking at Shen Zhuo, she didn't dare to look at it again: Changle Houfu was the family of the abandoned elder brother, the prince's uncle, and Shen Zhuo. There must be no good to go.

When Shen Zhuo arrived outside the Changle Houfu Gate, a street was full. After all, the prince is the emperor designated by the emperor, and Changle Houfu is also a way to get in touch with the prince. Therefore, in this lotus party, there are still many young masters and young ladies in the capital.

Shen Zhuo's guard handed over the post, and Master Jia came out immediately and welcomed Shen Zhuo into the mansion with a smile.

After a while, it was rumored that the Four Princesses arrived. The guard of honor of the four princesses is huge, with a total of fifty court ladies and eunuchs accompanying them, which caused a turmoil in the house. Changlehou and his wife all went to greet them, and then placed the four princesses in the backyard.

Changle Houfu sent invitations to all the giants in the capital a month ago. Since the four princesses have been invited, the five princesses must be invited. Originally, the fifth princess didn't want to come, but Zhang Yunjin gave her a post saying that she wanted to see her in the Changle Houfu. Only then did the fifth princess endure the fear and disgust of the four princesses and decided to come to Changle Houfu.

undefinedThe fifth prince came, and the third prince had to accompany him, but he really didn't want to come to the queen's home. After he understood the cause of his mother's death, he hated everything about the queen. But he never told the five princesses what he knew, and was afraid that the five princesses would show flaws in their usual actions. So the five princesses said that they would come to Changle Houfu to meet Miss Zhang Liu of Pingyuanhoufu, but the three princes did not refuse. He can remember that Miss Zhang Liu was a person who ran away with his sister in the winter, and the relationship was unusual.

The third prince accompanied the fifth princess to the Changle Hou Mansion and waited on the street until the convoy of Ping Yuanhou arrived. The third prince and Zhang Dagong met with each other, and the two teams entered the door one after another.

As soon as they entered the mansion, someone embraced the three princes and separated him from the first son of Zhang. Then, the men and women were separated and each went to different places.

The third prince suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and looked for acquaintances left and right, and soon saw Young Master Ye, the two met and chatted. Master Ye said that only Third Prince Shen had come to Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and the Third Prince was disappointed and gratified. I was disappointed that I didn't have the chance to see Shen Xiang, and I was gratified that Shen Xiang did not appear in this place he hated.

Zhang Yunming immediately found himself surrounded by a group of people, and while talking, he carried him towards the lake. In order to prove it, he specifically said that he was going to the clean room, but more than a dozen people accompanied him to the clean room. When he came out, he surrounded him again and kept going to see the lotus. Zhang Yunming walked as slowly as possible, fearing that his sister would not have enough time, but no matter how slow he was, and then delaying, he was still getting closer and closer to the small lake.

After entering the mansion, Zhang Yunjin was with the five princesses, taking many sisters from the Zhang family, and walking towards the lake with a few maids and baron cattle. Slowly, the Zhang family sisters also separated, Zhang Yunjin chose a small road, or talked with the five princesses while walking.

Although Zhang Yunjin didn't understand why her brother repeatedly asked herself to take the five princesses to a secluded waterside pavilion in the small lake, and even showed her a simple picture, she was naturally gentle and naturally obeyed her brother's words. While walking, she found that the maid and the woman around her seemed to know the path, and she knew that her brother must have given instructions to the next person, let alone take the wrong path. She and the fifth princess hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the two were talking while the fifth princess just followed Zhang Yunjin. Soon, Zhang Yunjin easily found a water pavilion by the lake where the lotus was in full bloom.

This water pavilion was built against the water, with the protruding side hanging over the lake. The two people sat on the benches facing the water on the waterside, leaning on the backs of the chairs, and they could see the lotus leaves on the water below, occasionally one or two fish swimming by.

The fifth princess sighed: "It's quiet here. You don't know. If you didn't say you want to come, I really don't want to come here."

Zhang Yunjin smiled and said, "I want to come here to see you. If you invite you to my place, you have to have a flower party or something. My father is particularly unwilling to toss, and my mother usually doesn't let me go out casually..."

The fifth princess smiled bitterly: "You can't go out casually, then I can do it"

The two of them vomited bitterly, saying that they would never be women again in their next life.

Surrounded by court ladies and eunuchs, the four princesses first went to the lake. Hearing that the motorcade of the Pingyuanhou Mansion came with the motorcade of the five princesses, they became furious and secretly said, "Sure enough! Sure enough! Five princesses too! Interested in Young Master Zhang!" I heard someone report that the fifth princess was going for a walk with Miss Zhang Liu. The fifth princess was surrounded by people and was about to arrive soon. The fourth princess secretly made up his mind: No matter how shameless you are, you have to go for a walk. Master Zhang caught his hand! If he is pushed over, he will hold him tightly! Let him break free! She really wanted to see the expressions of the five princesses after they heard that she was with Mr. Zhang! How disappointed she is! How jealous! I want to go to her with a sigh of relief and tell her: "I want to come to the Five Emperors, I already know it, Master Zhang is rude to me, so shameless! I'm going to see the father..."

Shen Zhuo followed Jia Gongzi in the yard, but was blocked by the palace people several times, saying that the four princesses were in front of him, so don't go inside.

Young Master Jia was a little depressed: "This is my home! Why can't I leave anywhere!"

Shen Zhuo nodded and said, "This is a lotus meeting in your house, right? I want to see the lotus!"

Young Master Jia suddenly said: "That's right! It's a lotus club, everyone will be by the lake! Go, let's go to the lake!"

It's a pity that they were stopped again soon, and the path leading to the lake was held by palace people, saying that after half an hour, the four princesses would enjoy the lotus first.

Mr. Jia showed dissatisfaction. Shen Zhuo looked around and said in memory: "Do you remember when I came to your house that year, when we played chess, I went to look for my sister. It seems that I can walk from the rockery. ..."

Young Master Jia said: "Look, isn't that someone holding it?"

Shen Zhuo frowned slightly, and pointed: "Actually, after going over that wall, it's the rockery by the lake. You can climb the rockery... Oh, but the fourth princess is there, let's not do that! Let's go and play chess. , When the fourth princess is gone, let's go to see the lotus again."

Gongzi Jia thought about it, and said with a smile: "San Gongzi, please here, I will let you take you to the study, and I will come in a while." He called a small servant and asked him to take Shen Zhuo. Go to the study. Seeing Shen Zhuo turning, Master Jia said to the person behind him: "One of you, go and talk to the person who is guarding the road, and the others, follow me!" He took the people to the courtyard wall and set up people. The wall, climbed over the wall, and sure enough, there is a towering rockery over there. Because there is already a courtyard wall separating it, there is naturally no one in the palace guarding the rockery, so Gongzi Jia quietly climbed the rockery...

Shen Zhuo just walked out two steps, then turned back and said: "I have two words to say to Master Jia..." From a distance, watching Master Jia stepping on the shoulders of two people and turning up the wall, Shen Zhuo stopped and laughed. I apologized: "Well, I'd better go to the study and wait for Master Jia."

Zhang Yunming was surrounded by him and approached the water's edge. On the shore of the lake not far away, a group of palace people dispersed, standing in the middle of the four princesses. Behind Zhang Yunming were people on the left and right. On the shore of this section of the lake, the group of them and the four princesses on the opposite side were separated from each other by the shore farther away, which was beyond the reach of sight.

In the front is a wooden bridge, the outside of the wooden bridge is the river that flows into the small lake, and the inside is the lake. On the wooden bridge, the four princesses were walking towards him. Although she was wearing a veil, Zhang Yunming seemed to be able to see the smile behind the veil.

Zhang Yunming also smiled, and his smile fluttered across his face like a glimpse of light. He followed the people around him and walked onto the wooden bridge. When everyone thought he was about to meet the fourth princesses head-on, Zhang Yunming seemed to stumble, and his body smashed against the people next to him to the bridge railing, and then lost his weight. , Fell into the water from the bridge!

He fluttered on the surface of the water, and said vaguely: "Help! I can't get water..." Then he sank into the water and didn't show up again.

People were stunned for a while. The wooden bridge was not wide. As soon as Mr. Zhang climbed up, there was only one person on the left and right crowded, and he could not stop him. The railings of the bridge are no more than knee-high, let alone stop anything. Under the bridge is the river channel that draws water into the lake. It should be as deep as one person. At this time, it was covered with lotus leaves. After Zhang Yunming planted it, he did not show up for a long time. Someone said aloud, "He was drowned." Then someone shouted : "Master Zhang fell into the water!"

The fourth princess saw the unrestrained smile of Zhang Da Gongzi again, her heart jumped, and she was ecstatic for a while, but then she watched Zhang Da Gongzi jump from the bridge a meter away!

The four princesses screamed with anger, and walked toward the lake. When they reached the water, they wanted to jump in: You want to escape! We are all in the water, depending on what you say!

She was about to jump off when someone shouted on the rockery by the lake: "Sister Four Princesses! Be careful!"

The fourth princess turned her head subconsciously, and saw Gongzi Jia jumped down from the rockery a few times, fell to the ground, then limped, but still leaped quickly!

The fourth princess also exclaimed: "Do you dare to..."

Before he finished speaking, Master Jia had already relied on inertia to pounce off the court ladies who were in the way, and in front of the fourth princess, he hugged her!

When he just jumped down, he originally sprained his leg muscles. After he hugged the fourth princess, his heart became loose and he could not stand steady. He only heard a "puff", and he hugged the fourth princess and fell into the lake.

The fifth princess and Zhang Yunjin were chatting in the water pavilion. Someone shouted from a distance. The two looked up for a moment. Zhang Yunjin remembered that his brother said that no matter what happened, don't leave the water pavilion. He said, "Don't mind their nostalgia, we are here. very good."

The fifth princess smiled and said, "I don't want to care about them either. The farther away from them, the better." The two continued to chat, but Zhang Yunjin muttered in his heart, always looking at the water unconsciously, and the fifth princess followed her gaze. Go, smile and say: "Look, it's so beautiful here, the lotus is in full bloom, that one is still a white lotus..." She pointed at the water pavilion, and suddenly, a lotus leaf popped out of the lotus head, and the fifth princess lost her voice in shock. Screaming, Zhang Yunjin also screamed.

Under the lotus leaf, Zhang Yunming struggled: "Help...help...life..." His arms fluttered wildly, looking very painful. Outside the water pavilion, water splashed, and under the sun, it was like pearls.

The fifth princess lost her voice: "It's Grandpa Zhang!" She stretched out her hand from the back of the chair to Zhang Yunming without thinking about it: "You come up soon!" She was about to cry.

The fifth princess's arms were like a lotus root among the lotus flowers. Zhang Yunming leaped away and grasped the fifth princess's wrists tightly with both hands.

The first time she was grabbed by a strange man, the fifth princess screamed again, almost throwing away, but she felt Zhang Yunming's hand was cold, her heart was painful, and she immediately shed tears, and the other hand also grabbed Zhang Yunming's arm and struggling to take him. Pull up.

Zhang Yunjin suspected that her elder brother must be premeditated at this time, but when she saw Zhang Yunming's body soaked, she also hurried over to help the fifth princess by pulling Zhang Yunming's clothes. The other maids even stepped forward to help.

No matter how others pull, Zhang Yunming just held the fifth princess's hand. When he was dragged into the water pavilion and laid flat on the bench, Zhang Yunming coughed and said to the fifth princess: "The princess... saved me! The grace of remaking, the little life will never forget! I want to know each other..." One hand quickly stuffed something into the fifth princess's hand, but the other hand was still holding the fifth princess's jade wrist, and then Turning his eyes, he passed out "cheeky".

At this time, the yelling of people here finally attracted others. Many people have seen the fainted Young Master Zhang still holding the fifth princess's wrist dead, and when people finally took his hand away, the fifth princess's wrist was left with a blue-black mark.

Hearing the chaos in the yard, Shen Zhuo hurriedly came out of the study and ran into the three princes and Ye Da princes who looked nervous. The three of them all went to the lake. First they heard that Master Zhang of Pingyuan Hou Mansion fell into the water. His life and death were unknown. A dozen people had already gone fishing, but no one was found. He also heard that Master Jia had jumped into the lake with the fourth princess in his arms.

The three speeded up their pace and rushed to the lake. The Fourth Princess and Young Master Jia had disappeared. Instead, many people were holding long poles and nets to salvage the place where Zhang Yunming fell into the water.

When they walked to the water's edge, Shen Zhuo frowned and said, "Is this water living water?"

Someone nearby listened and shouted: "Everyone, look down there, maybe it was taken away by the current!"

Everyone went to the other side, and heard someone shouting over there: "Here! Here! Saved by the five princesses!"

The third prince was taken aback, and hurried to the other side, the people of Pingyuan Hou Mansion had already rushed past. When they got there, the people of Pingyuan Hou's Mansion was carrying the "comatose" Young Master Zhang and was leaving in a hurry. A person hurriedly said to the third prince: "The fifth princess rescued my prince. Let's go back and report to Master Hou. Thanks again!" I'm afraid someone doesn't know it yet!

The group trot away.

Seeing the third prince frowned, Shen Zhuo asked the third prince in a low voice: "If the prince of Pingyuan Houfu wants to marry your sister, what will you do?"

The third prince smiled bitterly: "Marriage, although that kid is slick, but he is not bad." He was the one who saved himself during the winter hunt.

Shen Zhuo was secretly relieved, and nodded and said, "Indeed, that guy is fine."

Young Master Ye said in a low voice: "Pingyuan Hou Mansion is richer than an enemy country. The prince may not be happy, and the emperor may not be able to allow this marriage lightly."

The third prince curled his lips: "How come some people can't see others well?" I don't know if he is referring to the prince or the emperor, neither Shen Zhuo nor Ye Da dared to follow suit.

After the fourth princess changed clothes and came out, she was furious. She kicked and scolded Master Jia who came to apologize, and scolded Changlehou and his wife who were accompanying him. They smashed a few pieces of porcelain and brought them with him. As everyone returned to the palace.

The fifth princess walked quietly. Seeing people gathered around, she clenched her fists and hurriedly bid farewell to Zhang Yunjin, surrounded by palace people, waited until the three princes met her and left the Hou Mansion together.

After entering the carriage, the five princesses unfolded their clenched fists, and her palm was a lotus seed.

Lianzi, "pity" at the same time, pity means tender love, tender love. The ancient poem "Pick the lotus in Nantang in autumn, the lotus will pass the head, bow your head and make the lotus seed, the lotus seed is as clear as water." It is "the pity is as clear as water", love you is as clear as water...and the last sentence of Master Zhang: "I want to know you "It was taken from "I want to know each other, and I will live forever..." The most famous love poem in ancient times... All the way back to the palace, the five princesses burned red. She clasped the lotus seed tightly again, looked at the blue marks on her wrist, thought of those words of Zhang Yunming, and wanted to cry and laugh for a while.

When they arrived at the palace, the fifth princess got out of the car. Seeing the fifth princess, the third prince looked red and white, thinking that someone said that his sister had rescued Master Zhang, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter, my sister was frightened?"

The fifth princess shook her head and explained the process in a low voice with her eyes down. Naturally, she did not say that Master Zhang gave her a lotus seed. The third prince listened, knowing that according to the general rules of etiquette, the two should be married, but again remembered Ye Da Young Master's words, knowing that the emperor did not speak about this matter, no one should talk nonsense, and just said vaguely: "Well, he saved him before. For me, you should give him a hand." It was a hint that he agreed.

The fifth princess blushed and bowed her head for a while. The third prince was waiting for her to say goodbye. The fifth princess asked in a low voice, "He...but he will get sick."

The third prince remembered Zhang Yunming's stunning figure during the winter hunt, and whispered: "He is a martial artist, so he should not get sick easily."

The fifth princess nodded, but still did not leave. The third prince frowned, thinking about breaking his head and wondering what the fifth princess wanted to listen to. Finally, the fifth princess sighed slightly and whispered: "Brother, help me find out..."

The third prince understood, and hurriedly nodded and said: "It must be, I will go out to ask questions tomorrow."

The fifth princess nodded and walked away.

When the third prince thought of Shen Xiang, he couldn't help sighing: I knew that Shen Xiang should also go, jump into the lake, let Shen Xiang come to rescue, so that he would not have the opportunity to ask for a kiss in the future, I will have to ask Mr. Zhang whether it was deliberate or by coincidence. If it is deliberate, I will either beat him up and teach him to calculate his pure sister, or let him think of a trick for himself, otherwise he will not let him marry his sister! But on another thought, he couldn't be the master, and he went back to the courtyard even more depressed.

As soon as the four princesses returned to the palace, they went to the Prince's East Palace.

After the court today, the prince took the opportunity to go to Chu Rong to sit down by going out of the palace. If the matter of the fourth princess is done, he will also be considered to have accomplished a thing of his mind. He was a little uneasy, but the staff were vowed, and he didn't think there should be any problems.

After watching Chu Rong embroidering in Chu Rong's room and enjoying a cup of tea quietly, the prince returned to the East Palace in a good mood.

But as soon as he came back, he heard what happened in the Changle Houfu. The prince was so angry that he pointed at several staff members and cursed: "A bunch of rubbish! rubbish! rubbish!..." He no longer knew what other words could be used to express his anger. He said more than a dozen **** in a row and couldn't stop. .

The scolding made myself feel monotonous, and the prince asked, "What went wrong!"

One of the staff stammered: "The most important thing about this is that Young Master Zhang... he... dived..."

The prince slammed the book case: "Why did he! Why did he jump! Did someone leave and reveal the news!"

These people looked at each other, and they all showed fear. Does this mean that there is a **** among them! If this is investigated, everyone is suspect.

One person said: "No. If the news is revealed, Mr. Zhang shouldn't be surrounded by our people and walk to the lake. He should be prepared."

The prince asked: "Why was he saved by the five princesses!"

One person replied: "The water he was falling upstream, where the five princesses were, was just downstream. He was probably carried by the current and rushed there."

The prince shot the case: "A little water, what kind of water flow! How can such a coincidence be impossible! He did it on purpose!"

But if it is said that Mr. Zhang did it on purpose, it means that someone has leaked the news. Isn't this looking for something for yourself? Several people murmured: "It shouldn't be..."

"If he knew in advance, he shouldn't have gone."

"As soon as he was rescued, he fell into a coma. After soaking in the water for so long, he might get typhoid fever..."

As he was talking, the **** outside the door hurriedly said: "Four princesses are here..."

The prince frowned and said, "Let her wait..." The words fell, and the fourth princess broke in crying: "Brother prince, you have to save me!"

The prince waved his hands to the staff unhappily, "Go outside, and I will talk to you in a while." Everyone retreated.

The four princesses cried and said, "That scumbag! It's also a slut! They made an appointment because she rescued Master Zhang!... He jumped into the lake deliberately and wanted to avoid me! He laughed before jumping into the lake. That's it! Look at me and smile on purpose! It's a joke at me!... They entered the mansion together!... The prince brother, absolutely can't let that **** marry the big son Zhang! So much money in that mansion! Just three emperors! I got it all!"

The prince shouted: "Shut up!"

The fourth princess stopped in surprise, but choked up again and said: "You told me that I was bullied and you told me to stop! They worked together to calculate me! The **** of the Jia family came to hug me, I! Pooh! The prince brother, kill. Kill him!"

The prince has a headache: "He is your cousin, how can you kill him and fall into the lake while holding you? Uncle will probably go to the palace to propose marriage soon."

The four princesses screamed: "Then I will die in front of you! Die in front of the emperor! That person is so disgusting! I will never marry him! You let me marry Master Zhang! Never let that mean person marry Go over! Help me!" She burst into tears again.

The prince waved anxiously: "You go back first, let me think about it. You are so troublesome, I can't think of anything." The fourth princess cried and saluted and left.

The prince frowned, thinking that if the fifth princess really married the eldest son of Pingyuanhou, it would really be like what the fourth princess said, the financial resources of Pingyuanhoufu would become the help of the third prince!

He desperately needs his own power.

The so-called management of your own power is easier said than done! If you want others to support yourself, you must give them power or money. He is a prince, can he appoint an official position, can he order and transfer troops? He has no real power! Even the officials of the East Palace next to him are all vacant positions, and no one can directly intervene in the affairs of the court. There is only one emperor in this court! And the emperor kept suppressing him, he even hesitated to make suggestions, lest he would say something wrong! If the emperor does not allow him to participate in politics, let alone a prime minister, he is not as good as a prefect with real power. Although he is nominally the emperor's heir, who would support him while the emperor is still in power would be in danger of offending the emperor for his allegiance to him. He is now speaking up to himself through the officials under the Lu family. And the Lu family can do this, isn't it because his prince is the Lu family's future, and his children will become the emperor from Lu family's bones and blood, and will protect the Lu family's century-old wealth, but he hates the prince so much now! I want to kill her! ...

If there is still Lu clan on the civil service side, he has no one on the military commander side. Who can fight against Zhenbeihou? Why can Beihou be strong? It is not supported by the emperor, but because Beirong is strong! The emperor was only bound by superstition, and he didn't start with Zhenbeihou. What does it mean to be the first military commander in the DPRK is that no one can compete with the Shen Jiajun who has been managed by blood for generations. What did he do to support a military commander? I'm afraid that if he just sent someone and Wu to the future, the emperor would find out, thinking that he wanted to use force to force the palace, so he immediately abolished him! ...

He has no power, so he needs money! At least, money can buy people, buy food to bribe Bei Rong, and get rid of Shen Jiajun... If you can get the money of Pingyuan Hou Mansion, then you will have several times more strength out of thin air! Now is the year of disaster, such a large wealth must definitely be in his own hands, not in the hands of the third prince...

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was justified. At the beginning, it was just to avenge the thoughts of Grandpa Zhang and the third princes fleeing together. Now it has expanded into an important strategy for him to lay the foundation and expand his influence.

The prince recruited the staff again, and said gloomily: "Look for someone to draw up a list of Li's business in the capital."

An staff member asked carefully: "His Royal Highness...does you still want to..."

The prince nodded slowly: "If this palace does not achieve its purpose, we will never give up!"

In the imperial study room, the emperor was upset by the unrelieved drought in various places. He heard people talk about the Changle Hou Mansion, and sneered at Sun Gonggong: "This is the prince who wants to give the four princesses to Ping Yuan Hou, but Ping Yuan Hou The eldest son of Changlehou was unwilling and was forced to jump into the lake, but Changlehou's youngest son was willing to marry the fourth princess."

Grandpa Sun asked carefully: "Your Majesty feels..."

The emperor snorted: "He always feels that he is smarter than anyone else, and he always makes small calculations there! I told him not to run into Ping Yuan Hou, he still dare to play tricks behind my back! Leave him alone and wait for Chang Lehou to propose marriage. , I let him make his own decision. He pushed this house, but I want to see where he goes to find his next house."

Grandpa Sun whispered again: "Ping Yuanhou passed the post and wants to enter the palace."

The emperor smiled: "He wanted to take the fifth princess through this matter, so he avoided the fourth princess, and it was very beautiful. I just don't give the fourth princess to his son, nor can I go according to his intentions. Give it to him. Let it go, the fifth princess hasn't made it yet. No see!"

After waiting for a long time, Ping Yuan Hou got the letter from the palace, so he had to go back to the house and immediately went to see Zhang Yunming.

Zhang Yunming was lying on the bed, frowning and drinking a bowl of **** soup under Li's supervision. Zhang Yunzheng sat on the side with an impatient look, flipping through the book Zhang Yunming had placed on the case.

Seeing Ping Yuanhou coming in, Zhang Yunming immediately put down the bowl and wanted to get up. Li held him down and said: "Don't get up, your father is not so strict. You don't need to salute, quickly, drink this bowl of **** soup."

Zhang Yunming said bitterly, "Mother, this is the fifth bowl. I'm about to have a nosebleed."

Li touched Zhang Yunming's forehead and said to himself: "Why do I always feel that you have a fever?"

Zhang Yunzheng, who was sitting aside, said coldly: "It was burned by **** soup!"

Ping Yuanhou sat down, frowning to look at Zhang Yunzheng: "Have you seen the courtesy?"

Zhang Yunzheng bulged his mouth: "Father." He didn't stand up either.

Ping Yuan Hou shook his head: "Nizi!"

Zhang Yunzheng grinned, his white teeth were dazzling, and his expression was lively. He was taken aback for a while, and laughed at himself. He no longer pursued Zhang Yunzheng. He looked at Zhang Yunming and said: "The emperor doesn't see me, let the letter say that the five princesses have not yet made it. , Do you know what this means"

Zhang Yunming was a little frustrated: "He doesn't want me to marry the fifth princess."

Ping Yuanhou nodded, and Zhang Yunming crossed his heart and said, "Anyway, I told her that she saved me, I..." He didn't feel embarrassed to finish in front of his parents.

Li sighed: "No wonder you always push three and four, so..."

Zhang Yunzheng said indifferently: "Then you just wait."

Zhang Yunming turned down and said, "I want to sleep for a while."

Li said hurriedly: "Go to sleep, sleep well."

Ping Yuan Hou also stood up and said lightly to Zhang Yunming: "Your brother is right. It doesn't matter if you wait. When I married your mother, I was much bigger than you!"

Li stood up and took Ping Yuanhou's arm and said with a smile: "That's right, your father was a man at the time, it's amazing."

Zhang Yunming was so angry that he covered himself with a quilt. Ping Yuanhou and Li were unaffected. The two of them, you see me and you, left together very intimately.

Listening to them leaving, Zhang Yunming removed the quilt and said to Zhang Yunzheng, who was also going to leave next to him, "Every time I am unlucky, the two of them are there and admire each other by themselves. Have they ever treated you like this? "

Zhang Yunzheng shook his head: "If I'm upset, I'll do my best, and my mother will always come to comfort me, and my father will also say good things to me."

Zhang Yunming was angry: "It's so unfair! I'm such a good person, I'm in vain!"

Zhang Yunzheng curled his lips: "What do you have for nothing, you can earn enough! How about we change the two"

Zhang Yunming immediately said: "No change! How good I am, I am not you, no grade at all..."

Zhang Yunzheng rushed forward: "Don't think you pretend to be sick, I will not dare to beat you!"

The two started ping-pong on the bed, and then they went to the ground again. Fortunately, Zhang Yunming used to fight with Zhang Yunzheng in the house. Both people in the house were familiar with the furnishings and didn't drop a few things.

Zhang Datong, who was in an awkward fight with Zhang Yunzheng at home, was immediately declared by Ping Yuanhou to be "suffering from the water and catching the cold and cannot afford to be seriously ill."

The third prince went to Guanyi Pavilion the next day to inquire, and soon learned the news. Although he didn't believe that Zhang Yunming would be ill, he could think that it was normal for Master Zhang to be soaked in blisters for a long time.

The third prince didn't want to tell the fifth princess, but after seeing his face, the fifth princess became suspicious. After asking a few more questions, the third prince said that it was said that Mr. Zhang was really ill. The fifth princess felt uncomfortable, thinking of Zhang Yunming's cold hand that she had grasped, and worried that Zhang Yunming was very ill. After the third prince left, she sat alone in the house with a frown. After thinking about it for a long time, she drew a small lotus picture with a brush. Several lotus flowers were neat and perfect, and the lotus leaves had no artistic imagination at first glance. Not only that, she actually drew a bright moon on one corner of the paper, which was also a fairly satisfactory circle. He didn't mention the postscript, and only wrote the word "afternoon", which was sent to Zhang Yunjin, Miss Zhang Liu of Pingyuan Hou Mansion.

Chapter 80

The more Zhang Yunjin came back, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the eldest brother fell into the water that day was premeditated, and the premeditated was his girlfriend, the fifth princess. She was very happy that the five princesses could become her eldest-in-law. In this way, it would be convenient for two people to meet and chat casually. She waited intently for the news of the appointment, but after waiting and waiting, the matter turned out to be nothing. The girl who was not out of the pavilion could not talk about this with the elders, but she still asked her mother in a roundabout way, as if she was the father who hadn't seen the emperor and went to begging for a kiss.

Zhang Yunjin was very disappointed. She was thinking about how to write something to comfort her friend calmly. Some people said that the fifth princess had brought something to her.

The transmission inside and outside the palace is very strict, and people who enter and leave are checked by a special person, and the posts that two people usually invite only have a simple answer. But this time, what came was a pile of things. Zhang Yunjin took it and opened it and found it was a painting. If "Noon" is the fifth princess, but how could the lotus bloom under the moon? She intuitively felt that this painting was related to her brother, so she went to see Zhang Yunming.

The young lady came, and the maid-in-law along the road cleared the way. The little servants all avoided, but when Zhang Yunjin entered Zhang Yunming's living room, she found that the distant "cousin" who was always with her brother was standing by the table in a big manner. Still stepping on a chair! Zhang Yunjin hurriedly turned around to leave, Zhang Yunming said: "Sister, don't have to avoid it, this...brother, not an outsider, you can call him brother."

Zhang Yunjin had to stop and bowed carefully, but "Brother" couldn't speak, and it sounded too numb. Zhang Yunzheng looked upset when she saw that she was about to leave. It was even more impatient to see her when she heard Zhang Yunming's words. He replied, sat down on a chair, stretched out his feet, and placed it on the table! A rogue gesture.

undefinedZhang Yunjin has been abiding by the rules since she was a child. Her brother Zhang Yunming is also well-mannered. She looked at Zhang Yunming in surprise when she saw such a gangster. Zhang Yunming had to smile and said, "We...fighted again...he is angry. What's the matter with you?"

Zhang Yunjin glanced at Zhang Yunzheng, not knowing what to say, only handed the painting in his hand to Zhang Yunming.

Zhang Yunming looked at it, and the corners of his lips curled up. He was about to return the painting to Zhang Yunjin. A hand came over to grab the painting. Zhang Yunming flashed, grabbed again, flashed again, and finally Zhang Yunming said loudly, "I'm going to tell my parents about... "

Zhang Yunzheng cut and withdrew his hand. Zhang Yunjin frowned, took the painting, turned her face away from Zhang Yunzheng, and asked Zhang Yunming in a low voice: "What does this mean?"

Zhang Yunming hadn't spoken yet, Zhang Yunzheng said loudly, "It's a good time!"

Zhang Yunjin glared at Zhang Yunzheng with anger, then looked at Zhang Yunming, Zhang Yunming smiled and nodded, and whispered: "You write back to her, don't mention me, say you are good, draw a wicker or something..."

Zhang Yunzheng said loudly again: "Break the willow is an oath, meet the king..."

Zhang Yunming turned around and threatened Zhang Yunzheng and said, "You dare to talk nonsense..."

Zhang Yunzheng shook his head and shook his head: "There is no way to pass the book, with the help of my little sister..."

Zhang Yunming said to Zhang Yunjin: "You go back, we are going to fight again!"

Zhang Yunjin glanced at Zhang Yunzheng nervously, and asked Zhang Yunming in a low voice, "Brother, do you want me to tell..." Father

Zhang Yunming shook his head and sighed: "Sometimes, we have to admit our fate... This person, I regard him as a younger brother, there is no way."

Zhang Yunzheng turned his face and made a ferocious expression at Zhang Yunjin, and said, "I am your second brother! What are you going to do! Call and listen!"

Zhang Yunjin burst into tears, bit her lip, and finally stammered: "I...I'm going...Tell my mother!" hurriedly left.

Zhang Yunzheng curled his lips: "Look at the 'rules', and I'm not going to say goodbye! It's not as good as the little one..."

Zhang Yunming looked at Zhang Yunzheng: "You are really not good, bully the little girl!"

Zhang Yunzheng rolled his eyes: "I didn't bully her when she was young, now I have to make up for it!"

Zhang Yunming rolled up his sleeves: "You rude person, fight again!"

Zhang Yunzheng snorted: "You have only been detained for a few days and you are so irritable. If you have been detained for more than ten years, you are no better than me! Hit it! Go, let's go outside!"

Not to mention that these two brothers went to the yard to do their hands and feet, Zhang Yunjin went to Li angrily: "Mother! The distant cousin is rude to me!"

Li put down the ledger and asked, "What did he say?"

Zhang Yunjin said: "He asked me to call him second brother, but the eldest brother didn't stop him!"

Li sighed and said, "I owe him a lot with your father. Don't take it to heart what he says sometimes. He is a...very good person."

Zhang Yunjin found it very weird. Li always paid attention to etiquette. First, she didn't say anything that her cousin shouldn't see herself. Second, she didn't even blame the cousin for his rude behavior. A distant nephew, how could he claim to be Ping Yuanhou's second son... Zhang Yunjin was shocked: The father is outside the child, the mother actually picked it up!

Zhang Yunjin had something in her heart, said a few more words with her mother, and went back to the room by herself. Wrote a text message to the five princesses, saying that they were all fine when they came back. A few weeping willows were painted beside the letter. She thought about Zhang Yunzheng's behavior, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this person was an illegitimate child, and she secretly cried out for her mother, and decided to often comfort the Li family.

After receiving Zhang Yunjin's letter, the fifth princess felt calm. She sat in front of the case with a smile for a long time, put the lotus seed in a small box of gold, and finally picked up the thrush Daimo and drew the disappeared blue marks on her wrist that had been pinched by Zhang Yunming again.

--------------------------------------------

After the lotus meeting, Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng went to the courtyard and told Shen Wen what had happened.

Shen Wen was feeling guilty now, and seeing Zhang Yunzheng no longer be as casual as before, he could only put on a very serious look, nodded while listening, and smiled reluctantly.

Zhang Yunzheng looked at Shen Wen and asked: "I haven't seen you in a few days, why are you staying so much!"

Shen Wen was speechless, pursing his mouth to look at Zhang Yunzheng, Zhang Yunzheng stretched his chin slightly: "Look! Nostrils are also big..."

Zhang Yunming laughed out loud, and Shen Wen shouted in his heart: He shouldn't be doing this to me! So close! But why is it so bad!

Shen Wen stared at Zhang Yunzheng and asked seriously: "Are you mad at me?"

Zhang Yunzheng rolled his eyes: "Why are you mad just to tell you that being a stupid pig is not entirely a bad thing, at least it is fun, can you not pretend to be a normal person is really boring!"

Shen Wen clenched his fist and waved to Zhang Yunzheng: "You are really hateful!"

Zhang Yunzheng smiled: "This is just a bit popular! Get out your drawing and let me see it!" He said in a commanding tone.

Uncle Zhang Yunming sat at the table and raised Erlang's legs: "It's us!"

Shen Wen knew that he didn't think he would be entangled with the four princesses anymore, and was in a good mood, so he poured his anger towards Zhang Yunzheng on Zhang Yunming: "You look so proud, are you not worried anymore"

Zhang Yunming raised his eyebrows: "I'm still worried about the emperor, although he didn't see my dad, he didn't want me to marry the fifth princess, but our family let the news out. There are still a few in the capital that can compare with our family and married a princess. We can't do this, we can't do that. If our family doesn't seek official careers, others don't have the freedom and ease. Even if my family is not married right now, no one else would dare to dream."

Shen Wen disdainfully said: "So you think you can wait, and there will be a chance when something big happens in the future. You really don't understand the prince."

Zhang Yunming put his leg down and asked: "What do you mean?"

Shen Wen said: "I will put the words first, if the emperor marries Changlehou, you will be fine. If not, hehe."

Zhang Yunming frowned: "He is endless!"

Shen Wen sighed: "We really have to step up. I didn't expect such a thing...Anyway, during this time we have to draw all the weapons that should be designed. In case..."

Zhang Yunzheng asked: "What in case?"

Shen Wen bit his lip and thought for a while, and said, "Didn't you ambush someone next to the prince's staff. If there is no news about the marriage, you should listen to it often. I think the prince will still do it."

Zhang Yunming frowned and looked at Shen Wen in disbelief. Shen Wen explained: "The prince is very careful. This kind of person can't stand failure. If he has an idea but fails to do it, the more he will think about it, the more he can't think about it. If there is a chance, he will try again, and the methods will be even more insidious." After that, Shen Wen did not dare to look at Zhang Yunzheng. In his previous life, Zhang Yunzheng eventually became such a stubborn and desperate person. But in a flash of thought, she was shocked: Is she also this kind of person! Unable to accept failure and grievances, even if you wait for a thousand years, you have to come back for revenge. In terms of temperament, everyone has something in common, so she can accurately guess the prince's intentions! ...The only thing Shen Wen can comfort herself is that she is to save people, not just for her own rights, but even so, she quietly broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhang Yunming pondered, and then said to Zhang Yunzheng, "I'll find the addresses of those people. You stay with me, and you often go for a walk at night."

Zhang Yunzheng flatly refused: "I have something to do! I don't have time to walk around at night!" After speaking, Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng looked into their eyes for a while, and Zhang Yunzheng smiled badly: "Why am I so happy!"

Zhang Yunming gritted his teeth: "You little wolf boy!"

Zhang Yunzheng curled his lips: "Okay, okay, you're so bad at work! If I don't go, you probably won't be able to enter the yard! What a stupid!"

Shen Wen was also a little curious, and asked, "Should I go with you?"

Zhang Yunzheng stared at Shen Wen: "Children's house, don't stay at home at night, why go to someone's house!"

He spoke very aggressively and illogically. Shen Wen temporarily forgot his nervousness and raised his thin eyebrows: "What am I doing now! Tell me, what am I doing! Also, am I a kid!"

Zhang Yunzheng squinted his eyes and looked up and down Shen Wen exaggeratedly. Shen Wen remembered that he was wearing clothes made of materials given by others, and suddenly felt short, snorted, and turned to go to the secret room. Zhang Yunming watched Shen Wen's back disappear into the secret room, and whispered to Zhang Yunzheng, "I think she seems shy..."

Zhang Yunzheng kicked Zhang Yunming: "Hush!"

Shen Wen heard it clearly in the secret room. He really blushed. He found out a stack of drawings. After taking a few deep breaths, he felt the warmth on his face faded before he walked out again, and said solemnly: "These pictures are mostly crossbows. , Because I think our battles in various places are mainly defensive, and crossbows are the most suitable weapon. There are some crossbows in them, which are different from the current ones. Pay more attention when making them."

Crossbows were once very developed in China. It appeared in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and was perfect in the Spring and Autumn Period. In "The Art of War", the crossbow is listed as an important strategic weapon. Unlike a bow and arrow, a crossbow does not require the strength of a single arm. People can open the crossbow with both hands, or even with their feet. Later, the bed crossbow can be shaken or pulled by several people.

In Qin Shihuang's tomb, crossbow arrows are immortal for thousands of years, and even the crossbow strings are there. Zhuge Liang designed the Zhuge Crossbow that could fire fifty arrows in a row, but it was later improved because it was too complicated. In this era, various long crossbows and strong crossbows have been very developed.

In "Mengxi Bi Tan", it is said that in Xining Zhong, Li Dingxian slid a crossbow, like a bow, and performed a stirrup. The stirrup is stretched from the ground, shot three hundred steps, and can be pierced heavily. It is called the "divine arm bow" and is the most powerful weapon. It means that a crossbow that can be placed on the ground and pulled apart can shoot three hundred steps. It is called a "sacred arm bow." This crossbow method was later lost, so many people don't believe that there were such powerful weapons in that era, although Shen Kuo, the author of Mengxi's pen talk, had personally participated in the production of weapons.

Crossbows are not suitable for immediate combat, because people cannot hold the crossbow with both hands for a long time, bows and arrows are more convenient. But the crossbow is a good weapon for defending the city, and it is also a weapon against the cavalry. At this time, the production of weapons has been very advanced, and many crossbows and weapons mixed with simple gunpowder are more advanced than the following millennia. If it weren't for the imperial restrictions on the manufacture of weapons, coupled with the crossbow craftsmen who kept them private from generation to generation, the production of strong crossbows would have been lost or incomplete, and the good crossbows could not be widely promoted, and the previous generations of the Southern Dynasty with excellent weapons would not be lost to their opponents.

After the peasants and herdsmen occupied the Central Plains, they were afraid of the resistance of the Han people and completely stagnated the innovation of weapons, including crossbows and firearms, which made China weaker day by day, and in the future faced foreign powerful enemies without any backhanding power.

The crossbow popular in European countries in the Middle Ages is more in line with the laws of physics. The crossbow can extend the strength of a person's arm through mechanical force. The training of the crossbowman is much simpler than that of the archer. It does not even require any training. You only need to pull the string and hang it on the trigger, hit the arrow, and aim and fire. You can shoot an arrow very far without much force.

The powerful crossbow did not have a strong enemy until the appearance of firearms and was gradually eliminated.

Because of the advanced physics, future generations have thoroughly studied crossbows. There are a lot of reforms from the curve, the point of force to the shape of the arrow. Shen Wen is confident that the design she copied is definitely the most advanced of this era. Some crossbows have the longest range, some have the most powerful shooting power, and some are the lightest. She spread out the drawings one by one and started. Introduce these perfections that have been achieved after many generations of research and improvement. Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng had seen some drawings of improved bows and small crossbows last time, but this time they saw large and powerful weapons such as large bed crossbows and double crossbows. The lethality displayed among them was more shocking than small weapons. Both of them were silent. Look at the picture, without the relaxed mood of just now.

After Shen Wen gave a general explanation, Zhang Yunzheng took the pen, and this time Zhang Yunming took the initiative to study ink with a solemn expression. Shen Wen began to elaborate on the main points: "This curve must start to rise at one-fifth of the point... The proportion of this part must be made according to what I drew... This is the direction of the bowstring, and the so-called lever is used here. The principle is the reaction force... After pulling the trigger, it moves in an arc, and the book says to leave room... Pay attention to the arrow, these are two types, this type is used for the powerful crossbow arrow, although it looks awkward, it can kill Powerful! It's like a rock that rolls down from a mountain. The bigger the stone, the harder it will be. This is a slender and narrow one, used for single-shot crossbows, to win with sharpness... Go find a craftsman who makes weapons and ask them what to use What is the right material, but I read in the book that elm should be used at least. Yew wood is the best, but unfortunately not here. As for the arrow, try to smelt this alloy. Iron is added with these raw materials. This amount ratio, It's not difficult, but the process needs to be careful..."

Zhang Yunzheng listened attentively, taking notes, and sometimes asked one or two questions, but Shen Wen mostly said that he didn't know.

When the explanation was over, Zhang Yunming sighed and said, "You really only know what is happening and don't know why."

Shen Wen dissatisfied and said: "Then it is better to know what is going on than not to know. Knowledge is power, do you know?"

Zhang Yunzheng also said: "Yes! It's not easy for a little stupid pig to know so much! Don't ask too much!"

Zhang Yunming laughed again, and Shen Wen looked at Zhang Yunzheng angrily, "Why do you always bully me!"

Zhang Yunzheng blinked, "I called you a pig because of bullying, and I didn't let you call me brother or something."

Shen Wen's face turned red again, and he shouted: "You are a pig! It's a big...big pig!"

Zhang Yunming laughed again: "You are right! He is indeed a pig!"

Zhang Yunzheng punched him: "You talkative guy!"

Not only did Shen Wen not feel that he had won, but his face was about to burn, he stammered and said, "Then...I have to go!" He turned and ran out.

All the way back to the Hou Mansion, her heart beats: Zhang Yunzheng! This guy is a pig by year! What does he mean when he always calls me a pig! Do you like me or don't like me...what's wrong with me? I like him or not! I definitely don't like it, it must be! Otherwise, how could I stand this man! I absolutely don't like him...but why should I blush! Why panic! Do not! I don't want to like him! ...Shen Wen misses the days when she used to quarrel with Zhang Yunzheng so unscrupulously, what should I do now! She didn't think of a reason until she was lying in bed.

After Shen Wen left, the two stopped fighting. Zhang Yunming helped Zhang Yunzheng clean up the drawings. Zhang Yunzheng accused Zhang Yunming: "You shouldn't tell her my zodiac sign!"

Zhang Yunming twitched the corners of her mouth: "You will know it by breaking it with your finger. She has never thought about it, and she has devoted her mind to designing these weapons."

Zhang Yunzheng is inexplicable: "What does this have to do with her? This is just a... dumb ghost pictured a cat and a tiger. If you let her make it, she will definitely not be able to make it. Don't rely on others. Don't think of her too capable, she is just a small con man."

Zhang Yunming looked at Zhang Yunzheng and shook his head and said: "The ignorant is fearless, I have taken you."

Zhang Yunzheng immediately said: "I don't want to go out at night! I want to sleep at home!"

Zhang Yunming changed his attitude and said sincerely: "Brother! Didn't you notice that you only have my brother!"

Zhang Yunzheng was helpless: "I'm shameless!"

---------------------------------------------

On the third day after the lotus meeting, Hou Changle went into the palace to see the emperor. The emperor said he was too busy now, and asked him to come again in five days. Five days later, Changle Hou entered the palace, and the emperor allowed him to see him this time and let the prince by his side.

Changle Hou first pleaded guilty for his young son, saying that he had offended the Fourth Princess, but then said that his son had seen the Fourth Princess close to the water's edge, and was afraid that she would fall into the lake, so he rushed to rescue her. As a result, both of them fell into the water. It should be an unintentional fault. I hope the emperor will forgive me. Given that the clothes of the four princesses were so damp, it was considered to be disrespectful, the Changle Houfu would certainly take this responsibility, begging the emperor to marry the four princesses on behalf of his son, asking the emperor to consider, etc.

After listening to the emperor, he turned to the prince and said: "How do you like the emperor?

The prince was startled, and hurriedly said: "Please father the king."

The emperor smiled and slowly asked: "Really ask me to call the shots"

The prince gritted his teeth: "Can the child ask the fourth princess... and what the mother means?"

The emperor smiled again, and there was a hint of coldness in that voice--he didn't even dare to let me call the shots!

Changle Hou immediately asked, "Holy Master Mingjian, I haven't seen my sister for a long time. Can you please ask the Holy Master to show favor and allow me to see Concubine Jia Jing"

The emperor glanced at the prince again with a sneer. It seemed that the prince had never allowed his uncle to see Jia Jingfei, and then said to Changlehou: "How can you ignore the relationship between people. You can meet her and let the prince accompany you." You go."

The prince did not dare to look up.

The prince went to see Concubine Jia Jing with Changlehou.

When Changle Hou met the yellow and skinny Concubine Jia Jing, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and it took a long time before she knotted her tongue and said, "Sister...you...manny...how...become like this..."

There was a panic in his heart, and sweat came out! For a moment, he remembered how Jia Jingfei was at home when she did not marry the prince at that time. It was a small courtyard. His father was a small official, and his mother relied on needles to make up for the family. The younger sister entered the Prince's Mansion by virtue of her beauty, and the family was better off. Later, my sister became a queen, and the salted fish at home turned over and was given a good courtyard in Beijing. It's a pity that the parents left after enjoying the blessing for a few days. When his mother was dying, he repeatedly told him that everything in the family was up to his sister, and asked him to help her sister well and not cause trouble. Over the years, although he was not capable of becoming an official, he didn't really cause trouble to his sister except for eating, drinking and having fun.

Now, my sister can't do it anymore. She has almost 20 sons alone, and 10 grandsons. In the future, there will be more than 40 or 50. However, the population is prosperous, but among the many nephews, none of them can be an official with a Jinshi. Over the years, relying on the land income of the knighthood and the rewards of my sister to live. How can I live on my own family in the future! There are tears in Changlehou's eyes!

Concubine Jia Jing struggling to open her eyes, seeing that it was Chang Lehou, her eyes were also moist, and she said with difficulty: "You are here..."

Changle Hou was in tears and whispered: "Brother, come and see... Niang Niang, Niang Niang, you are in good spirits..."

Concubine Jia Jing breathed out, hoarsely saying: "Four princesses..."

Changle Hou thought that Concubine Jia Jing had already known about the Changle Hou Mansion, and quickly explained: "My son was indeed watching the fourth princess standing by the water, and was afraid that she would fall, so he helped her. The two of them fell together. With water, my son really wants to marry the fourth princess..."

Concubine Jia Jing's eyes lighted up, and she raised her hand and said: "Marry... marry... let her... marry... I gave her... a lot of dowry..."

Changle Hou was relieved, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Don't worry, the fourth princess will marry into the house. I am my uncle, and I will never treat her badly." I just want some of her dowry. Now my sister is unreliable, the fat water of the fourth princess must not flow into the field of outsiders!

Concubine Jia Jing nodded and said, "She owns the princess mansion herself... Tell your sister-in-law... let her be more..." Let her go alone.

Changle Hou hurriedly promised: "Well, don't you know your sister-in-law is the most softhearted, otherwise I won't bring more than a dozen people in."

Concubine Jia Jing sighed, glanced at the prince, slowly closed her eyes, and said: "Quickly...go find...the emperor...best...get married this year...in my heart...always thinking about this...just think...something bad... Can't sleep at night..."

Changle Hou said repeatedly: "Well, don't worry, I will discuss with them."

Jia Jingfei hummed and stopped talking, her face faintly black. Changlehou was sad, wiped his tears, and whispered: "Manny, I'll retire first."

Since the prince asked for peace, he didn't say a word from beginning to end. At this time, he only said: "Mother, I'm leaving too."

Concubine Jia Jing didn't say anything, the prince and Changle Hou walked out gently. Changlehou said, "Your mother has already agreed to the marriage, and I want to go and see the emperor again."

The prince looked at the sky and said, "It's late, maybe the father has taken care of the affairs and is about to rest. Uncle, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Although Changle Hou is an elder, but the prince is the prince, the prince is still a higher level, and can only agree at this time.

This night, Jia Jingfei fell asleep rarely.

Perhaps because of her serious illness, Jia Jingfei became suspicious. Sometimes, when she was in a daze, she seemed to be able to see malicious black shadows hovering around. After she woke up, she couldn't sleep peacefully.

She is most worried about the four princesses. In the darkness, it seemed that there was a danger, getting closer and closer, and she couldn't change it.

Even more frightening is that she has been unable to distinguish her enemies. The interference of illness and pain made her unable to deal with it. She just wanted to see the four princesses getting married and receiving shelter when she was leaving.

If the four princesses have not broken the picture, and if she has not been abandoned, she can still choose a wealthy family for the four princesses, and it is best to help the prince in the future.

But the four princesses were broken, and she was no longer a queen. The prince was obviously inadequate. In such a situation, the four princesses could only marry her brother Changlehou's mansion.

Although Changle Housheng is a bit greedy and cheap, he can be dull and not involved in political affairs. Over the years, just eating, drinking, and having fun is a waste. But for the emperor, he can hold thousands of wastes, and he won't tolerate a person who has a gap with him. Regardless of the future of the prince, Changlehou should be safe. Even if you lose your title, you won't have to worry about your life.

If the four princesses marry her brother Changlehou's child, one can protect the four princesses from future political changes, and secondly, the wealth that Jia Jing concubine has saved in her life can also be returned in the form of the dowry of the four princesses. In the hands of his blood relatives, he can be regarded as the last one to help his brother. After all, the parents are dead, the husband is unreliable, and the elder brother is the only brother who has ever had trouble with her and can entrust the four princesses to him. The dowry she prepared for the four princesses, those rare and rare, those rare antiques, are enough to feed the Changle Houfu family and live normally, even if it can't be a few lifetimes, the life of the four princesses should be enough.

She knew that her brother had not divorced his wife even though he took so many concubines. After the fourth princess married, there is no shortage of food and clothing. Needless to say, the fourth princess' temperament will not suffer any loss. It was her husband who wanted to spoil the concubine room because of the four princesses' coquettishness. Her brother looked at his own face and would let the four princesses have a son first, and would not treat the four princesses wrongly, especially when the four princesses gave the Changle Houfu For the sake of financial support.

Once they have a child, the four princesses will live in peace in this life. What does a woman ask for? Isn't everything just a place to stay?

For fear that Changlehou would refuse, Jia Jingfei even talked about the dowry, making her brother firmly determined to marry the fourth princess. This is the best arrangement she can make for the four princesses at this time. Now that the marriage can finally be done, Jia Jingfei feels relieved.

In the dim, Concubine Jia Jing seemed to see that the four princesses had become a arrogant mistress, with timid concubines standing next to her. Even though the fourth princess has a broken face, she is also proud and not half-divided... The children of the fourth princess respectfully come to greet her... The fourth princess has become a white-haired grandmother with a full house of children and grandchildren. The concubine smiled in her dream: This is a good life she has not lived, I hope the fourth princess can experience it well.

------------------------------------------

That night, the prince first discussed the situation of Changle Hou's youngest son with his staff, and summed up a series of shortcomings: This man denied his wife, and the two marriages that were originally scheduled, the wife died. This person has been a maidservant since the age of fifteen, and there are six in total. Now there are four others around. That day, there was obviously someone blocking his way to the lake. He actually climbed over the fence and climbed onto the rockery to spy on the four princesses. He was a person of disorderly conduct. Changle Houfu is short of money and debts...

It was all said and listed on the list. The prince dismissed his staff, had people send the things to the fourth princess, and told her that his uncle would come to discuss the marriage tomorrow.

The next day, Changle Hou really came to see the emperor again, and the emperor put the time to see him behind the next court.

The emperor had just summoned Changlehou. Before Changlehou had finished his polite remarks, there was a cry of crying outside.

The **** reported that the four princesses were clamoring to see the emperor and uncle. The emperor glanced at the prince who was standing on one side and nodded to let the four princesses in.

The four princesses came in crying, and knelt before the emperor all of a sudden, and said: "Father, let your daughter be the master, don't let your daughter die in their hands!"

Changle Hou was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Four princesses, what do you mean by these words, is uncle here to harm you?"

The fourth princess looked up and said: "You are here to harm me! Come to seek my dowry! Your son has killed two of his wife, and he has come to defeat me! You have borrowed so many debts from the house, what can you pay back? It's not that my mother is counting on my dowry to help you for so many years. You still don't think it's enough, but you still want to be ashamed of my dowry! How many housekeepers are there like your son! Besides, so many housekeepers, so many years, Not a single child! It shows that your son is sick..."

The emperor snapped the case: "It's rude, this is what the princess can say"

Changle Hou stammered: "That's...in order to get the eldest son..."

The four princesses refused to listen and cried loudly: "Father! Save your daughter! My daughter does not want to marry into the Changle Hou Mansion even if she dies!"

The emperor snorted: "Where do you want to marry?"

The fourth princess raised her head with tears: "I think..."

The emperor said angrily: "This is what you can think of as a matchmaker's words from your parents. You have never heard of the shame! Go! Copy the filial piety scripture hundreds of times!"

The fourth princess gritted her teeth angrily and said: "I won't marry into the Changlehou mansion anyway!" She turned to look at Changlehou, and sighed fiercely: "You all have hundreds of people. You have eaten my mother for so many years. Have a face..."

The emperor opened his mouth and said: "Go down! Young and old do not understand how your mother taught you."

The fourth princess stood up, saluted the emperor, and then turned away without looking at Changlehou.

Changlehou's face blushed for a while, and he really wanted to turn around and leave, but when he thought that his family was counting on the dowry of the four princesses, he had to shy his face and smiled and said to the emperor: "My minister yesterday, I met Concubine Jia Jing. , She said, she hopes the four princesses will get married with my family. What does the emperor mean?"

Marriage is always determined by the parents' words, how can children come to make trouble? The emperor smiled and looked at the prince, and asked, "What does the prince have to say?"

Changlehou looked at the emperor in surprise, but then he lowered his head, he saw the gloom in the emperor's smile.

The prince swallowed, sweating nervously, but thinking that the wealth of the Pingyuan Hou Mansion could not fall into the hands of the third prince, he said a little stuck: "The child always feels that the fourth princess... also... likes this marriage. ...That's great, so that in the future...the husband and wife can reconcile...

The emperor gave Changle Hou a cold tone, and said to Changlehou: "The prince is also reasonable, you first go back to the mansion and let me think about it again." He didn't say death.

Changlehou's heart sank, but he knew that the emperor was angry now and didn't dare to wait any longer. He quickly thanked the emperor and retired with a secret expression on his face.

The emperor glanced at the prince, as if he could see through him, and was too lazy to listen to his sophistry, so he waved his hand and told him to retreat.

When the prince was gone, the emperor said to grandpa grandfather on one side: "He still has a good idea in his heart. I never knew that his mind could be so deep. What I said was just like the wind in my ears. He didn't. listen."

Grandpa Sun said hurriedly: "The prince probably wants to find a good marriage for the fourth princesses."

The emperor sneered: "He thought that I would not find him to seduce me!"

Grandpa Sun said with trepidation: "Perhaps, the prince is just afraid that his majesty is worried about the affairs of the country and will not have time..."

The emperor waved his hand: "You don't need to cover up for him. His mind is brighter than the sun, I don't want to know it. He has a mind to think about Ping Yuan Hou's money. He has never seen Ping Yuan Hou's appearance when he was young! Why did I approve it? Ping Yuanhou shed his military power because Ping Yuanhou cannot have soldiers in his hands! That person is like a jackal! Cruel and cruel! He thought that the fourth princess would have a good life when he married in, huh! Wishful fool! If I want the life of the fourth princess , You can allow her to marry into Pingyuanhou's Mansion!"

Grandpa Sun said hurriedly: "Isn't the prince not understanding his majesty's kindness to him? Otherwise, let the slave and maidservant remind him."

The emperor shook his head: "Let him learn by himself. You wait, he will continue to do stupid things, and then fall into a big somersault at Pingyuanhou, I will wait for his brothers and sisters to come and cry to me." He finished. After coughing, Grandpa Sun hurriedly served tea, and the emperor frowned and said, "I have been coughing for so long, but I can never get better. Those imperial doctors are really useless!"

Grandpa Sun whispered: "Do you need to go outside to find a famous doctor"

The emperor sighed: "Anyone who doesn't know the basics who dare to use a royal doctor is an old man who has worked for several generations, and his wealth and life are on top of this. Let them pay more attention, or they will withdraw some of their salaries."

Grandpa Sun was busy taking notes.

-----------------------------------------

Finally pushed Changlehou's family a bit away in advance, the prince did not dare to relax, and he returned to the East Palace and immediately summoned the staff and asked, "Did Mrs. Zhang go out of the house recently?"

The staff replied: "I haven't been out of the house. Pingyuan Hou Mansion let out a word, saying that he was seriously ill and bedridden."

The prince said: "Hurry up and arrange, according to Li's business list, smash her business, and force him out! You can't let him hide for too long. When he leaves the house, arrange for him to complete the room with the fourth princess."

The staff looked at each other: "This... Pingyuanhou..."

The prince interrupted impatiently: "Don't worry about Ping Yuanhou, his son will have to marry the fourth princess after he slept with her! It is the same reason to say it! Once married, immediately get rid of Ping Yuanhou couple! Father does not allow marriage. I am worried that Ping Yuanhou will be disadvantageous to the fourth princesses, so you should start first!" If Ping Yuanhou is removed, the father will know that the fourth princess will be safe in the future, so he won't be disgusted with his intention to ask for this kind of marriage.

The staff were a little embarrassed. One person said: "Pingyuan Hou Mansion is different from Zhenbei Hou Mansion. We have no one in it..."

The prince gritted his teeth and said: "Then start at the wedding banquet! Let the four princesses start! There are many ways! You will know the excuses! With this effort, go and think of ways!"

The staff can only make promises, and the prince said with undue anger: "Daddy Zhang dared to dive to avoid the fourth princesses, and took the opportunity to pick the fifth princesses for himself. This is too despising from this palace! Who is the palace! Let him play like this! He thought he could live in peace if he provokes the palace! Dreaming!"

When everyone saw the prince angry, they had no choice but to respond: "Yes, he really doesn't know how to promote." "Should teach him a lesson."...
