Chapter 25：

Shao Shang stood under the porch with a cold face, took a few deep breaths of the cold winter air, and the frozen lung tubes were numb.

She is very willing to forget her childhood, but after coming to this broken place, gossip, pointed, colored eyes... The whole set is specially brought to her again! She managed to pass the **** college entrance examination, and was admitted to the best department of the TOP10 university, plus a high-quality senior who had a crush on her. Seeing that the future is promising, and now she has to fight again, the thief really doesn't know what to say!

She likes to be alone when she is troubled. At this time, the main hall and the east courtyard of the Cheng Mansion were full of banquets, the guests were like clouds, the servants were like shuttles, and Shao Shang gave an indifferent look, and went to the west courtyard without looking back.

This mansion occupies a large area. After the Cheng family moved in, there were not enough manpower and time, so many places have not been sorted out. For example, on this small hillside on the west side, it is said that Mrs. Wan Lao likes to be secluded and has not taken care of it. So Shao Shang looked around and saw three or two crooked rocks, a small frozen pond, and more than ten old and dead trees whose species could not be distinguished.

With the physical strength of the previous life, Shao Shang could have stepped on this hillside more than four or five times, but now that she has climbed to the top of the steamed bun, she is out of breath, and after slipping back to the bottom of the steamed bun with difficulty , She shook her legs and moved to the edge of the pond, finding a dry and cold boulder to lie on.

Slowly adjusting his sitting position on the boulder, Shao Shang suddenly remembered an old story he read in his previous life—

The nbsp; Many years later, the infatuated man met the oiran again, and found that she had married an ordinary husband and had children.

Infatuation collapse: Since you are willing to marry, why not marry me? Your husband is not much richer than me.

The oiran replied: You can play the piano and sing, but he can't even read the stave; you read a lot of books, but he only likes to read magazines and newspapers; But there is one advantage, he has never seen me or heard of me before, so he doesn't know my past, he just thinks I'm a single widow, so I marry him.

Infatuation is stupid: I never mind your past.

The oiran replied: I don't mind, I don't know, I'm tired, and I'm not a strong person, I don't want to worry about the past.

Shao Shang is very concerned about the phrase 'it's better not to know if you don't mind'. People are not that fragile and don't need so much sympathy and comfort. She can handle it herself, but she just doesn't want others to know. That's it.

So she particularly understands that Yin Hengzhe can't accept the more noble, beautiful, considerate and gentle green plum, and finally chose the silly and sweet heroine, not because green plum is bad, but he doesn't need your understanding His eyes don't need any persuasion that you empathize with, just that you haven't seen his unhappy boyhood at all.

In junior high and high school, Shao Shang also envied those female students who went to the cafeteria for self-study at night. It was not that there were no girls who extended their friendship to her, but there seemed to be a strange Diaphragm, they can't be friends anyway.

The bottom line is that they have never seen Yu Cailing's troubled childhood.

—But in this strange world, where can I find a girl who doesn’t know Cheng Shaoshang’s embarrassing past? Thinking of his friend who will never be seen again, Shao Shang felt sad for a while, and bowed his head to the hard ice.

“…Young lady, are you okay?”

A clear and familiar male voice came, and Shaoshangsu straightened up and slid down from the boulder to stand.

I saw a young scribe in a royal blue brocade and a Confucian robe walking to the edge of the pond, standing five or six steps away from her. He was in his early twenties, he was a few inches taller than his elder brother Cheng Yong, and he was beautiful and thin.

The first thing Shao Shang felt was vigilance, and he secretly scolded himself for being confused, but he didn't even bring a maid.

Ignoring her sore legs, she saluted in a proper manner, turned her eyes slightly, and said politely, "I wonder what this young master has to teach you?" She thought that even if Mrs. Xiao was here , I can't pick out the slightest fault in her words and deeds.

The young man frowned slightly when he saw the unfamiliar expression of Shaoshang: "I just saw it at the lantern festival a few days ago. The lady and nobleman have forgotten things."

Shao Shang was embarrassed for a while. She had two romantic encounters at the Lantern Festival, and she didn't know which one was in front of her. But the loser is not the loser, she immediately said: "Although I have seen it, I don't know the name of the son."

The young man smiled and said: "The surname is Yuan, the name is cautious, and the cursive words are good."

Louyuntai is generally elegant.

—Brother Cheng mentioned this person in his popularization class these days. He was born into a family in Jiaodong, and his father was a senior official in a certain place. When His Majesty the Emperor first called the world's great Confucian scholars to teach the scriptures three years ago, he was eighteen years old. .

If it is still measured by numerical value, that is to say, this Young Master Yuan was born in a second-class noble family, and his father belongs to a 1.5-class minister. of. Well, if not wrong.

However, why did he come to Cheng's house in a condescending manner? Was it another invitation from Wanjia?

Shao Shang shook her head and said respectfully, "Young Master Yuan is here, and the Cheng family is shining brightly, but, but..." She didn't want to be polite, so she had to go straight in, "My father and the others are ahead. !" She thought that this handsome guy was probably lost.

Two points, hit your heart in general.

Shao Shang stopped laughing, his right hand in his sleeve slowly smoothed the hairs standing up on the back of his left hand. She looked at him quietly for a while before saying, "Could it be that I offended the son?"

Sister Tattoo Mei made up a deep crush on her own because someone gave her two **** on the pool table, and then ruined her boyfriend for years. The eldest sister used this negative case to educate them so many times.

Yuan Shen's smile grew stronger.

He secretly inquired about the Cheng family, and finally identified the fourth wife of the Cheng family as the best candidate. He originally thought that if she was an ordinary little girl, even if her temperament was a little bit worse, he might as well speak more earnestly, with a gentle smile, and he would definitely be able to move her. It does things for itself.

Fortunately, he took a special look at the lantern festival that day, and with just a few glances, he intuitioned that the fourth lady of Cheng was completely different from the rumors outside.

"Young lady, why don't you ask me why I am here today?" Yuan Shen circled around, "General Cheng is a great talent, the battle of Yiyang that day..." Before he finished speaking, Shaoshang had already He took a few steps diagonally, and he was about to bypass him and go back to the main hall.

Yuan Shen moved, but he didn't see him take a few steps, just blocking Shaoshang's way. At this time, he had put away his relaxed expression and said solemnly: "Young Shangjun, this is a bit rude."

Shao Shang looked indifferent and said, "You and I don't know each other, and the two families have no old friends. It's rude to stop me here."

Actually at this time, the customs of men and women are not strict, not to mention the common young men and women who sing and play together in the countryside, that is, the fiancée couples who travel together in a noble family, meet in the river It's not that there are no male and female sons of the private meeting.

However, no era will advocate indulgence and lewdness to mess with the relationship between men and women, it is always right to be cautious. Moreover, her situation is special. Isn't there a powerful Director Xiao, and it will take a lot of scolding when she turns around and pinches her fault.

"Young Master's name, even if it is as vulgar as I have heard of it." Shaoshang slowly took a few steps back, keeping a few steps away, "Young Master has something to say, you might as well say it directly. Huhu, the little girl is too weak, does the son still want to start from Pangu Kaitian?"

The corner of Yuan Shen's mouth curved: "Okay, young businessman is quick to talk. Then let's speak bluntly..." He paused before saying, "Young lady doesn't know anything, but I really have something to ask for."

Shao Shang wondered: "Please?" This surname Yuan is far better than herself in terms of social status, talent, and reputation. What can she do for him. Hmph, if the king asks for bronze, it is either a traitor or a thief!

"I just ask the young master to give a message to the third aunt, Mrs. Sang." Yuan Shen stretched his arms and stroked his sleeves, bowed and gave Shaoshang a salutation.

Shao Shang was even more puzzled: "My family is not pedantic. If Mr. Yuan has something to say, he will just come to the door and tell my third aunt. Why go around such a big circle..."

It's as simple as that. Yuan Shen smiled bitterly and said, "It's not enough for outsiders, so I can't tell Mrs. Sang bluntly. So, I can only ask the young lady to trouble you. It's not a big thing, but it's small..."

"Here." Shaoshang said suddenly.

Yuan Shen was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "What did you say just now...?"

Shao Shang said simply: "I promise. Whatever you want me to bring, it's what you say."

Yuan Shen was silent for a while. He didn't expect the girl's words and deeds. It was obvious that he was much older than her, but there was a feeling of being equal. He used to have the smile of an adult teasing a child to talk, but now he can't help but solemnly and said aloud: "Then I will thank you very much. The young lady only needs to say to Mrs. Sang, 'Follow the false words and be sincere, and look forward to the Li Palace in the south of the city. Climb to Lantai. But looking at it from a distance, the gods are stunned and lustful. What the old man asks is nothing but the sound of wind and water.”

The corners of Shaoshang's mouth twitched, and he thought, "Is this okay?" !

Yuan Shen saw that she was speechless, and asked, "Is there something embarrassing for the young lady?"

Shao Shang murmured: "Yes, can you remove the previous verses and only say the last sentence?"

Yuan Shen:…

Desolate slopes, dead trees, broken rocks.

Cold sun, cold wind, ice pond.

Yuan Shen feels that he has learned a lot today.

He said blankly: "Those two lines are not poems, they are Fuzi's fu." He is still one of the most famous.

Shao Shang was also expressionless: "Young Master seems to be begging me to do something."

Yuan Shen:…

Is she the child of Zhao Gaotou? !

Yuan Shen closed his eyes. He thought that he was fighting with a little girl who hadn't read a few volumes, so he said, "Yes. The young lady will say, 'The old man is concerned, but only a few words to feel at ease', that's all."

Shaoshang nodded and bowed to Yuan Shen, then walked around him quickly, walking very neatly.

Yuan Shen turned around and stared at the girl's back for a long time.

When he first arrived here, he saw the girl shrunk into a small ball, sitting on the boulder with her head downcast, like a homeless quail wet by the rain, with sparse feathers , extremely pitiful. Who knew that as soon as she heard someone approaching, she immediately erected the thorns all over her body, full of vigilance, and in an instant, the quail turned into a hedgehog.

Since he was fourteen years old, the little girls outside saw him, either blushing and shy, admiring praise, or deliberately doing strange or arrogant actions to attract his attention. But it is the first time in his life that Cheng Shaoshang is so suspicious and fearful that he is not pretending to be at all, and he even runs away in a hurry.

However, Yuan Shen will soon know that his knowledge of the fourth wife of the Cheng family is still very shallow.

Yes, because someone is not going to keep the promise at all.
