Chapter 18： peep

Shen Wen was already familiar with Wanhua Tower as if she was in her own mansion. She left the Hou Mansion as soon as it was dark. When she arrived at Wanhua Tower, the lights were everywhere inside. Shen Wen found a big tree near the front yard singing stage. , Invisible in the meantime.

Looking from the canopy, the largest hall is full of tables and chairs, the front hall doors have been removed, and the seats are facing a bluestone table. The table top extends into the pool in front of the hall, and it is flat on the water like a pontoon, with lights of various colors floating on the water, adding a dreamlike background to the stone table.

There is an orchestral pipa playing outside the hall. There are long corridors on both sides of the pool, decorated with long gauze, and there are lights inside. You can vaguely see the slim figure flashing in the corridor, which is preparing for the stage. Dancers.

The hall was already full of people, and there were also a few women accompanying the guests, but more often the maidservants came and went to deliver tea and water, and wait on paper and ink.

Shen Wen knows that this kind of occasion is mainly arty. What he emphasizes is to write a poem casually, order people to hit the board and sing, and it is the best to attract people's praise.

Shen Wen took a good look at the people inside from the tree, but he didn't see the third prince, but his heart relaxed: now there is no need to bother to deliver the letter, maybe it should be like Su Wanniang said, and look for opportunities in the future. She is going to return home after watching one or two songs and dances here.

The sound of orchestral music gradually strengthened, heralding the beginning of the dance. People stopped talking one after another. While waiting, Shen Wen saw three people walking along the yard illuminated by the lights. One of them was the third prince.

The three princes wore light green casual clothes, and looked from a distance, embroidered with flamboyant details, as if they were a dude. The two people walking next to him, one in their thirties, with a fair complexion, should be an eunuch, and the other seemed to be a little older than the third prince, and looked like a powerful child in terms of dress.

Shen Wen closed his eyes and looked at the two men, their bodies are full of blood and muscles, and they should all be martial artists. Especially the eunuch, the meridian is clear and picturesque, indicating that the blood is extremely accessible. She can't rush to get close to the third prince, these two people will definitely stop her, and she still can't reveal her identity.

As they got closer and closer, Shen Wen held the note written by Su Wanniang in his hand, becoming more and more worried: If the third prince arrives in the hall and the lights are brightly lit and people come and go, she will have no chance. Would she have to wait for the third prince to leave before leaving?

Suddenly, Shen Wen was taken aback: He got into the tip of the horns, why did he have to keep others from knowing that the third prince received this note. If the people next to him are his confidants, he will naturally help him. If the people around him are someone else's, he can still spread the news, so that the eldest prince can start immediately. If it is the confidant of the eldest prince, this note can also make the prince think that someone around him has leaked the news, so why not do it

Thinking of this, Shen Wen gently folded a small branch, passed through the folded piece of paper, and threw it at the three people who came by. The branch was too light, and Shen Wen had to use his consciousness to increase the frequency of throwing and let it fly farther.

The middle-aged eunuch-like figure looked here first, and then the young man looked up, and the piece of paper fell lightly a few steps away. The middle-aged man reached his chest, and Shen Wen turned around and jumped out from the other side of the tree, and then ran a long way through the roof and walls. He turned his head and looked at the distance when there was no sound from behind.

The middle-aged man stood by the third prince. The young man walked a few steps back and forth and looked around before picking up the branch from the ground, taking off the piece of paper and passing it to the third prince.

When the third prince opened it, he was about to turn around and walk outside. He was grabbed by the young man, said a few words in his ear, and dragged him to the direction of the song stage. The middle-aged man looked around, walked a few steps away, and disappeared from the lighted path, hiding in the darkness.

Shen Wen didn't dare to look more, turned around and rushed outside. She is almost eight years old, with short legs and fast walking. I sprinted to the wall, just to see a dark shadow emerging from a section of the wall not far away.

Shen Wen didn't know if it was here to stop her or it had nothing to do with her. There was no difference at this time, because she heard the sound of approaching quickly behind her. Shen Wen took a sigh of relief and rushed up to the wall. He heard a sound from the wall over there: "Huh..." She didn't have time to turn her face, and the wind drifted down the wall of Wanhua Building and flashed into the intricate folk lanes. Street, rushing away in the shadows.

There was a faint sound behind him for a while, and then it was quiet, only the occasional sound of music coming from Wanhualou.

Shen Wen ran back to the mansion, this time, she gasped a little. Su Wanniang changed her clothes in the dark, and asked eagerly: "Are you tired or injured?"

Shen Wen shook his hand: "It's... it's too hot..."

Su Wanniang was relieved and asked in a low voice, "Is there any trouble?"

Shen Wen said: "I threw the note to him, and the **** next to him chased me for a long time..."

Su Wanniang said "Ah", "Is that a master of the rivers and lakes! Did you catch up with you?"

Shen Wen smiled: "Where are so many masters naturally not catching up. Moreover, I found that there were others who went to Wanhualou, and they ran into them. I don't know who can beat whom."

Su Wanniang sighed again: "Thank God, as long as you don't catch up with you."

Shen Wen laughed again: "This means that it doesn't matter to you to hang up high."

Su Wanniang nodded Shen Wen's head: "It's going to be silly! How old are you"

Shen Wenxin said that she was a thousand years old, but she said coquettishly to Su Wanniang: "How old is your sister, don't be dissatisfied."

After this matter was done, both of them were at ease, and they went to bed without mentioning it.

That night, the lights in the palace of the Grand Prince and the palace of the third prince were lit until late at night.

The staff informed the eldest prince that the third prince would accompany the fifth princess to the Zhenbeihoufu to celebrate Miss Shen's birthday, and then practiced with Shen Yi and Shen Jian in the martial arts field for half an hour. Sweating profusely, he was still bathing in the Hou Mansion, changed his clothes, and treated the Hou Mansion as his own home.

Zhenbei Houfu knew that the three princes would accompany the five princesses, but did not refuse, and even set up a table to entertain. Both Mrs. Beihou in the old town and Mrs. Beihou in the old town were quite critical of the prince...

The prince shot angrily and said: "They dare!"

An staff member hurriedly comforted the eldest prince and said: "Those are just women, who only look at what is in front of them, and don't understand the depth. And the third prince may be just a young man, who likes to deal with others."

The prince sneered: "Don't those women know what their husbands are thinking about! Concubine Chen did not know what kind of concubine he had poured into his father. Not only did the father not shy away from interacting with the children of the Hou Mansion, he also said that if they win, they will go to the father. Winning head. How could this be a juvenile character? This is a good calculation! Why do you excuse him!"

The staff member hurriedly bowed his head and dared not speak again.

Another person stepped forward and said: "The three princes went back to the palace after coming out of the Hou Mansion. After dinner, went to the Wanhualou to watch the Wanhua Dance. Our people said that the three princes were full of joy when they got out of the car and entered the hospital, but they went to the dance floor. Bian looked indifferent, looked absent-minded at singing and dancing, and the people following him were not too attentive. Although the father-in-law Gu he usually took outside got off with him, he did not go to the table with him. The two dancers danced. Later, Grandpa Gu arrived. Our people don’t know where he went in Wanhualou during this period. After Grandpa Gu arrived, the third prince got up and left the table after seeing two singing and dancing. Wonderful, it seems that something happened in the yard."

The eldest prince was angry at first, and he slapped the table when he heard it: "Trash! Can't you just follow them all the way, just pretend to be a guest, so why let them walk by themselves in the yard?"

The staff sighed: "His Royal Highness does not know that Grandpa Gu is a powerful character. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and is very alert. The emperor has let him follow Concubine Chen for many years. Otherwise, how could Concubine Chen give birth to three princes and five princesses? Following the third prince again, his subordinates did not dare to come closer."

The eldest prince turned black: "Since he belongs to the emperor, why did the emperor give him to Concubine Chen"

Everyone didn't speak, the eldest prince waved impatiently: "Say it!"

An assistant hesitated and whispered: "There are rumors that since the birth of His Royal Highness, the concubine's children have not survived, and the emperor is worried that the offspring will not be prosperous. At that time, Concubine Chen was spoiled, and it was when the fire was dry. Concubine Chen was pregnant, so she cried to the emperor that she was timid. She lived alone in the palace and was scared to see the shadow. This was not good for her children. The emperor said to her that the father-in-law Gu was very good, God All ghosts are afraid, let him come here to guard, and Concubine Chen doesn't have to worry about it."

The prince frowned: "Why do I never know these things"

The staff member said carefully: "If your Royal Highness does not become a prince, knowing these things will not benefit the normal relationship with other princes."

The prince snorted: This means that if he is not a prince, then he should not understand the shady scenes of these harems, after all, these are the emperor's private affairs. Moreover, once he understands it, it will inevitably be involved. If the emperor knew that his son was involved in the dispute between his wives and concubines, he would be unhappy. And now, he will become a prince, and the prince will have a harem in the future, so knowing these inside stories is also a part of learning.

The prince asked again: "Is there no objection to the queen?

The staff replied: "The queen had trouble with that father-in-law several times, but every time it happened, even if it prevailed at the time, the person at her hand would soon get sick or die inexplicably. Over time, the queen knew about it and stopped fighting twice. , Do not disturb each other, it has only been so many years."

The prince gritted his teeth with anger: "He is so rampant! How can my father tolerate him, I will go to see my father tomorrow!"

One of the staff members immediately said: "Your Highness is not allowed. Didn't Your Highness see that Grandpa Gu was given to Concubine Chen by the emperor. As long as Concubine Chen is pampered, Grandpa Gu will protect her and the third princes. Grandpa Gu is not for Concubine Chen. Grandpa Gu obeyed the emperor's will. If the emperor didn't like Concubine Chen, then Grandpa Gu might have killed Concubine Chen and the third princes."

The prince nodded slowly: "Then, let's wait to see Concubine Chen's end."

The staff did not know the conversation between the eldest prince and the queen. One person said worryingly: "Although the emperor is pleased with other concubines, Concubine Chen has been close to the emperor for so many years. The emperor must visit her for five or six days a month. It probably takes some effort to move her."

The eldest prince sneered coldly: "Israel matters to people, and the color is fascinating. People have misfortunes and blessings, and she can't always be healthy."

He probably knew the Queen’s method. Fei Jiang Shu died of illness a few years ago. He clearly knew the cause before he died, and even ordered someone to break the legs of the fourth prince. Someday Concubine Chen really did go like that. He had to let these people under him understand that this was his method, and don't let them think it was accidental.

Everyone heard the meaning, silent, and stopped discussing this topic.

The third prince returned to the palace, holding the note in his hand, sitting at the table in a daze for a long time. Father Gu stood on the side and did not speak.

In the middle of the night, the third prince sighed and stood up and said, "I'm going to see my concubine tomorrow, so I have to tell her no matter what."

Grandpa Gu bent his body slightly and said, "Okay."

The third prince hesitated for a while, and still asked: "Who are you chasing?" But immediately he said: "If you don't want to talk about it, you can."

Father Gu seemed to smile on his face, and whispered: "That should be a short man or a dwarf, with a great effort, coming and going like the wind. There is a person at the top of the wall, blocking me, just a false move. I also know that the other party did not hurt anyone. It meant that he didn't move, and let him run away."

The third prince yearned: "It must be an expert who can make you praise..." He looked at Father Gu, "Is it too late for me to learn light work?"

Grandpa Gu finally had an obvious smile: "His Highness has already completed the bones, so I really can’t practice light gong. Besides, light gong must have spirituality, not everyone can learn it. But his Highness has learned fist, sword, arrow and riding since he was a child. As long as you continue to practice, you will be successful in the future."

The third prince sighed: "I really want to be a general and go to battle on the battlefield in the future. If I were born...Anyway, I like those princes in Zhenbeihou..."

Father Gu narrowed his smile and did not speak. The third prince said goodnight to him and walked away with his head down.

Although the lights were turned off in the fourth prince's bedroom, the voice of the fourth prince turning over on the bed was heard, and the servant who slept outside knew that the fourth prince was still asleep. Since being hit by the maid outside the city in the spring, the four princes have often been in a trance.

The servant forgot his name, he only vaguely remembered that he was sold by his family when he was young, and then he entered the palace, took the day pillar of the day, and his surname was Ding. Later, the little servant always thought what to do if it was Guiri that day. Do you want the surname "Ghost"?

The days at the time were miserable, not to mention that the purification was a time of death. After he came back alive, he was still young and did the simplest work, but he was always beaten and he didn't have enough to eat. Once he was so hungry that he wanted to steal the flowers in the garden when he was watering the garden in the morning, because he heard other eunuchs say that there was a concubine who ate flowers to beautify her face, and she was picked up by a court lady who walked by. When he saw it, he shouted, and several court ladies came and grabbed him. After a while, he drew his mouth and beat him to be dizzy.

Just when he thought he was going to faint, a voice rang, and he couldn't hear it dimly, but the slap stopped, and the maids who beat him left, a woman came to talk to her, and his ears buzzed. He only swollen and said vaguely to the woman who was talking: "I'm hungry..." The woman cried, and someone came and took him by the hand and took him away.

After he grew up, he estimated that he should be six or seven years old that year. The woman who took him was the newly canonized 19-year-old Jiang Zhaoyi. It is said that she had just learned that she was pregnant that day.

Since then, the servant Ding has become the little **** in Jiang Zhaoyi's palace. He started by cleaning the floor. After Jiang Zhaoyi gave birth to the four princes, he was promoted to concubine Shu. He was also promoted and began to help take care of the four princes.

He is eight years older than the fourth prince. He has not had a childhood, but he has experienced childhood with the fourth prince. The two chased the ball together, played with building blocks, and piled up sand together... After the four princes enlightened to study, they will learn a few words from their husband when they come back.

The attendant Ding is very hardworking, and will read while he is packing up the books for the four princes. When he was not working, he would write the words taught to him by the four princes over and over on the ground.

He was even more grateful to Concubine Jiang Shu. He never violated Concubine Jiang's wishes until Concubine Jiang was seriously ill and dying to entrust him to do something, he said "No".

"The servant girl really can't..." Ding Neishi knelt on the ground, knocking his head to pieces.

Concubine Jiang Shu was dying, and tremblingly pointed at him: "You... this... ungrateful..."

Waiter Ding cried and kowtow: "I really can't! Please mother... Please mother!"

Concubine Jiang Shu had tears in her eyes: "You don't know... If this is not the case... My son is hard..."

Naibu Ding also cried: "I know...but I really can't do it, I know I can't do it...I'm sorry, Niang Ni... Please Niang Niang..." He became anxious and even forgot to call himself a slave.

Concubine Jiang Shu sighed: "You... useless..."

Waiter Ding cried and kowped his head vigorously: "The slave and maid must follow the fourth prince in this life, and she must treat him well and won't lose her. Please, please, please..."

Later, the four princes fell from the horse, and there was no one who was accompanying him, nor was the one who rushed to "take care" of the four princes. After the fourth prince was injured, the servant Ding looked after him day and night. After the death of Concubine Jiang Shu, the nearest neighbor to the fourth prince was the servant Ding.

On several occasions, the queen sent someone to ask the servant Ding for questioning, but the four princes held back. Provoked the queen to say that the four princes were not filial, and the charges shocked the emperor.

The four princes limped to help the emperor Ding's arm to see the emperor, and shed tears in the court, saying that he begged his mother to leave him a servant who knew how to take care of him. If he rebelled against his mother because of this, he would not let the servant leave, ask the father and the emperor to condemn him.

The emperor looked at his haggard son who had trouble walking, and thought of the newly bereaved Concubine Jiang Shu. He blamed the queen for troubles. He comforted the four princes on the spot, told him to take good care of his body, and ordered the attendant Ding to take care of them and let them go back to the palace.

After hearing this, the queen said that the four princes were worried, and she was just watching the death of Concubine Jiang Shu, and wanted to urge the servant to serve the fourth prince. If you are kind enough to be a donkey liver and lungs, you might as well not bother with it!

In the past three years, the gate of the four emperors' wombs cannot be opened tightly. The four princes read and write every day, and sometimes play chess by themselves for a few hours, but he never touches the piano and flute that he loved before. Teenage boys live like old people. The courtyard is usually as quiet as death, and the palace people don't even gasp for breath.

Neiji Ding has mastered all the contacts and contacts of Concubine Jiang Shu. Concubine Jiang Shu's family is not prominent, but very wealthy. To this disabled grandson, I feel very distressed. If it's not the prince, you really have to take it home and raise it. There are countless treasures of gold and silver that I usually sent, and Ding's servant has been in the palace for more than ten years, and he can feel it up and down. Relying on money, he generally maintained the agility of information, and occasionally arranged the four princes to go where they wanted to go without knowing it.

He is the personal attendant of the four princes, and he naturally knows the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy of the four princes.

In the sound of Xia Ye’s more drums, Ding’s attendant thought of the mountain temple outside the city. The maid rushed out of thin air and knocked the fourth prince to the ground. She cried so sad. Although the fourth prince did not show anything, he knew that the fourth prince was in his heart. Feeling sad...

Attendant Ding recalled what he had inquired about. When the Hou Mansion came back from outside the city, a brothel woman went to invite the sisters who had been bought into the Hou Mansion. Look at the maid’s looks, the prostitutes who were said to have been bought. The woman in the brothel is probably her. If it's an ordinary person, that's all, let Jiang Shufei's foreign family buy it from the Hou Mansion with a lot of money, and wait for the birthday of the grandfather in the future, let the four princes take the opportunity to take a look. But it is so eye-catching, there must be many people staring, it is best not to have anything to do with her.

After midnight, the four princes finally fell asleep, and Ding Naishi also went to sleep with peace of mind. He didn't know that the four princes finally made up their minds after tossing and turning over the night.

When he got up the next day, the fourth prince with a black halo under his eyes sat at the table rarely. Instead of holding up the book immediately, he looked at the doors and windows.

Naibu Ding knew what he meant, went out, looked around under the window, and saw that there was no one around before entering the door again.

The four princes looked down at the pen and ink on the desk, and whispered: "Let people go to Zhenbei Hou Mansion to find out when the maid usually leaves the mansion, who is her last name, and who is in the family."

Ding's heart flickered: What is really afraid of. Just about to persuade, but looking at the face of the four princes who were under thirteen but with a calm expression, his nose was sour, and he whispered, "Yes."

It's Shen Wen's birthday. In the morning to ask for an hour, there are several sets of red, willow and green clothes in the hall, and several sets of gold and silver jewelry are on the table.

When Shen Wen saw it, he rushed forward, a suit of clothes gesticulating on her body in turns, and asked several brothers and Shen Xiang: "Is this one good-looking when I put it on?" "This one..."

The old lady smiled with tears in her eyes, and said: "There is a bad Wen'er at her age, and she looks good in everything she wears."

Shen Xiang pouted: "It's all skirts, mother, why didn't you make her a short sleeve, you can ride a horse in the future"

Yang waved his hands hurriedly: "That won't work! You are no longer a girl, Wen'er should wear a skirt."

Shen Wen just climbed: "I want a short shirt too! I want some of my sister!"

Yang stared at Shen Xiang and sighed: "Okay, okay. Go and see those jewelry."

Shen Wen went to look at the jewelry again, and while holding it up in admiration, he said to Shen Xiang: "Sister, come and see if there is anything you want, the beads on this hairpin are so big!"

Shen Yi smiled and said, "This is the bead given by the third prince, and it is set on the hairpin."

Shen Wen smiled and handed it to Shen Xiang and said, "I'll give this hairpin to my sister. I'm still young and can't wear it. There is a big bead on it. My sister looks smart when wearing it."

Shen Xiang shook his hand and said, "No, it was given to you by the Third Prince..."

Shen Wen couldn't help but tiptoe Shen Xiang up his head: "Then I will give it to you now..."

Shen Xiang dodged: "You are going to scratch my face." He snatched the hairpin off.

Yang smiled and said: "Just take what the younger sister gave you. Don't make trouble. It's not good to scratch it." She has a special preference for the eldest daughter, thinking that she should also give the eldest daughter something for her birthday. , I was afraid that my little daughter would taste it, so I didn't prepare. Now that Shen Wen is generous, I am busy letting Shen Xiang take it.

Shen Xiang had no choice but to hold it, Shen Wen clapped his hands, ran back to the table, and said to Shen Xiang, "This magpie is beautiful!"

Shen Xiang dismissed: "I don't want it anymore. Such cumbersome flower branches are heavy. What should I do if they fall off while riding on my head? I have to get off the horse and pick it up."

Shen Wen picked up a beautifully carved silver butterfly hairpin and said in kindness: "Then this is light."

Shen Xiang still shook his head: "Looking at it will break when you touch it. When fighting, I have to take care of it."

Yang clapped his hands: "I'm so scared of you! Are you okay to fight or wear flowers and blossoms? How can you dress like a young man every day!"

The old lady smiled and said: "Wen'er, come here, I will plug you in that hairpin that makes magpies make plum blossoms."

Yang said strangely: "Mother, this doesn't match the season at all."

The old lady pulled Shen Wen over and said, "Who would see so clearly that it is golden, rich and lively." Everyone laughed.

There is shredded chicken noodles for breakfast. After the meal, Yang said: "You will eat separately at noon, and I will let them make smashed noodles at night, and everyone will eat it."

The children wailed: "Eating noodles again..."

Yang said with a flat face: "Then let's have noodles at noon!"

The old lady smiled and said, "The noodles are delicious, you children are just spoiled!"

Shen Yi took Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo to leave to practice martial arts. Shen Xiang accompanied Shen Wen to the small courtyard and asked Shen Wen: "I will take you there if you want to do something!"

Shen Wen glanced at Su Wanniang next to him and said, "I want to walk outside the Hou Mansion in the afternoon and buy some snacks."

Shen Xiang knew that Yang said that she would not let Shen Wen go out, and felt that this sister was being held back. Today is her birthday, and she should be happy. He said: "Okay, I'll come over at the time of application (3 o'clock in the afternoon), and take you around outside the house." After that, Shen Wen left without waiting for thanks.

Shen Wen returned to the house and said to Su Wanniang: "You go to pick up your brother now, and we will take him home together when we go out with me in the afternoon." These days, Su Wanniang sometimes brings her younger brother over, and Shen Wen teaches him A few words, he ate lunch here before going home.

Shen Wen rubbed Yang's last time. Seeing Yang's feeling much better, she wanted to see what kind of illness Su Wanniang's mother was, and could she help her. A few years later, she will probably walk out of the city. If Su Wanniang's mother is not good, Su Wanniang will not rest assured to follow her away from home.

Su Wanniang didn't doubt that he had him, so she checked everything in the yard and left the Hou Mansion to go to her own home. Naturally, she didn't know how many people said behind her back that she was seeking personal gains for herself, and she came and went unimpeded by the maid who was the second young lady.

Outside the Hou Mansion, there was a man drinking tea on the side of the road. From a distance, he saw Su Wanniang leaving the Hou Mansion. Soon after, she took her younger brother into the Hou Mansion and left.

It was almost noon when the news was delivered to the palace. Ding Naibu whispered to the fourth prince: "If that maid takes her brother into the Hou Mansion, generally speaking, Shen Shizheng will leave the mansion and send her brother home again in the afternoon. Then go back to the Hou Mansion by yourself."

The fourth prince got up and said: "Then let's leave soon." He already knew her name was Su Wanniang, her life and family, and he couldn't wait to see her again. I don't know what she will be like this time

The attendant helped the four princes to sit on the sedan chair. These days, he had arranged for them. The signs for the four princes to go out of the palace were prepared. The group of people left the palace, transferred to the carriage, and entered the downtown area.

In the car, the fourth prince frowned and whispered: "She can take her brother to the Hou Mansion so openly. It seems that she is quite spoiled." But why did she cry bitterly last time?

Ding’s attendant also whispered: “This is not a gesture made by the Hou Mansion. Knowing that the eldest prince took the brothel woman to talk about things, she became the second lady’s eldest maid. It is said that in the second lady’s yard, This maid said that her brother was enlightened by the second lady. She is almost half the master. Maybe the Hou Mansion wants to train her..." He suddenly stopped and looked out the window pretending to be vigilant.

Such a beautiful girl will definitely not always be a maid, maybe she will be trained to be a concubine for which son in the Hou Mansion or the future son-in-law. But you can't say this. Ding Naishi secretly regrets that he and the four princes usually know everything, but when it comes to this woman, he is afraid of speechlessness, and really can't talk casually.

Their carriage went back and forth in the downtown area to a tea house. The four princes, under the help of Ding's servant, brought three servants to the second floor, found a single room, and enjoyed tea alone.

There was a secret door in the single room. Ding Nei helped the four princes down a staircase behind the tea house and got into a carriage that had been waiting there. Ding Nei waiter whispered to the coachman through the curtain, and the carriage went to the direction of the Hou Mansion.

When they arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, their carriage was parked in the shade of the lively snack street outside the Hou Mansion. Ding Nai waiter and the Fourth Prince sat in the car, staring through the window screens. Neiji Ding feels that life is like years: their time is limited. In case something happens today, the maid has taken her brother and left the house and went back. The four princes are waiting here for nothing. He should be so disappointed...

Nei Attendant Ding secretly prayed to Concubine Jiang Shu: Niang, please let that maid... But again, I thought, the maid is alive, maybe I don’t like the four princes to come here to see a maid, will the soul of the empress not please let the four princes not please Wish is fulfilled...

In Ding’s random thoughts, the side door of the Hou’s mansion opened, and a few guards walked out. In the middle was a tall girl dressed in military uniform, followed by two people dressed up as maids, one of whom was Su Wanniang. Behind him was a chubby little boy, holding a very delicate little boy in his hand. Looking at the eyebrows, it should be Su Wanniang's younger brother.

The fourth prince asked the servant Ding in a low voice: "Is that lady the second lady who is called the stupid and stupid second lady, doesn't it look like that?"

Attendant Ding also took a closer look: "It shouldn't be. The second lady is also seven or eight years old. This girl should be ten years old. She should be the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion."

Two people stared at the group of people, and the fourth prince whispered: "That little servant, it should be a girl."

Neibu Ding nodded and said, "That should be the second lady."

The fourth prince shook his head and said: "I didn't see how stupid..."

Ding Naibu said, "It's just a little fat."

Shen Wen took Su Wanniang's younger brother, pointed to the snack street in front of the house and said, "Let's go there and have a look."

Shen Xiang nodded. Just as the guard was about to walk here, a carriage stopped in front of the house. There was no mark on the car, but someone in the car said a few words. Shen Xiang stopped and said with a smile to the person in the car. : "How did you make it so mysterious"

Inside the car curtain opened, Zhang Yunjin said anxiously: "Hurry up and take the box. My mother will not let me come, but I promised your sister to give her a snack. I secretly came out, you take it, I I have to go quickly."

The driver handed over a box. Shen Xiang took the box and asked Shen Wen to come forward to thank him. Zhang Yunjin said hurriedly, "Don’t come here. She looks like a little boy, so people can see what they are like for me and yours. The son has something to do with it."

Shen Xiang thanked him with a smile, and Zhang Yunjin said, "Remember to post me a post when you have time. Out of ten times, my mother has to answer it once."

Shen Xiang agreed, and the carriage left.

Shen Xiang handed the box to Shen Wen and said, "Look, I have food, do I have to walk this street?"

Shen Wen took the box, sniffed it outside, and said happily: "Don't stop it, the dim sum in her mansion is delicious. We will help Wanniang sister to send her brother back, and then go back to the mansion."

Shen Xiang was happy, so he signaled Su Wanniang to lead the way and walked to Su Wan's family.

Shen Wen opened the box and took out a snack just about to put it in his mouth. From the corner of his eyes, he saw that Su Wanniang's younger brother was looking up at his mouth, embarrassedly took the snack away from his mouth, handed it to the younger brother, and said in his mouth: "Come on, little mute, eat it."

Su Wanniang's younger brother was Su Chuanya, and Shen Wen called him "Xiaoya" at first, but when he felt that he was uncomfortable, he became a "little dumb".

Su Wanniang turned her head and said crisply, "Xiaoya, don't eat first! Be polite and let the lady eat first."

The heart of the four princes lifted up: she was so unrestrained in front of her master, she listened like a maid talking, but like the eldest sister teaching two younger siblings, I don’t know how the second lady would react...

Xiaoya said to Shen Wen: "You eat first, then give it to me."

Shen Wen looked at the box, there were more than a dozen different kinds of snacks. If you eat the whole thing, three or four yuan will definitely be full, but if you only eat one bite of each, you can taste it, just take a bite, and then give the snack. Xiaoya. Xiaoya took a bite without hesitation. Shen Wen picked up another piece...

The fourth prince in the car frowned: The second young lady didn't mind Su Wanniang's tone, but isn't this an insult to give the child the leftovers because of Su Wanniang, he didn't think the second lady was superior.

He didn't know that Su Chuanya ate with Shen Wen and Su Wanniang these days, and often gave Shen Wen a few bites and put aside things. Shen Wen still felt bad at first, and stopped it several times, but later saw that he was really rushing to eat, she knew in her heart that this might be a manifestation of the little mute's intention to treat her as a family. Anyway, boys are growing and have a big appetite, and it is normal for children to eat one bite at a time, so they don’t care about it. Two people often eat a piece of cake together.

Ding Naibu told the coachman to follow the group of people. Seeing that Shen Wen and Xiaoya were eating while walking, they began to agree with the rumors about the second Miss Houfu: Which big lady would eat on the street like this with a little etiquette No! No wonder the wind reviews are so bad, not as sensible as a maid!

The group of people arrived in front of Su Wan's house, and when the door opened, they all entered. Only Shen Wen, who was pretending to be a small servant, turned his head and glanced at their slowly walking carriage. Ding Nai waiter only felt his heart sinking, and he was so busy that he stopped the car.

They waited outside for a while, watching those people leave Su Wanniang’s house and walk all the way back to the Hou Mansion. The fourth prince nodded, Ding’s waiter asked the coachman to drive back to the teahouse, then went upstairs from the secret road, and then returned. palace.
