Chapter 32： design

Except for Shen Wen, the most calm person in this mansion is Shen Zhuo. He didn't go out with Shen Yi and the others, he always went to watch your chess every day.

Since seeing the Four Princes that time, he has often seen the Four Princes again later. The four princes always guarded a corner quietly, watching others play chess or playing chess with others.

After Zhang Yunming was defeated by the four princes last time, seeing the four princes often take the initiative to ask him for the next set. What made him frustrated was that he didn't win the next game.

When Shen Zhuo saw this, his hands were itchy, and one day he finally couldn't hold back, and went to find the fourth prince to play chess-anyway, now the fourth prince has returned to the palace, and the bone-fixing matter has passed.

The two played for a whole afternoon, and Shen Zhuo lost three games and three games. It was getting late before he resigned himself to leave. After he left, the Baoguan came over to pour tea for the Fourth Prince, and said with a smile: "This third son Shen is very similar to me."

The fourth prince smiled and said: "Then why don't you go find him to play chess"

Guan Bao said a little uncomfortable: "They are not willing to play with me, but I think that Ji Guoshou played a game with me at the beginning!" He looked at the four princes and smiled: "This young man, we... "

The fourth prince stood up and said, "I have to go back, too."

Bao Guanren's face drooped suddenly, and he held up the tea tray with his head down and walked away.

The four princes helped Ding's hand to walk out of the Guanyi Pavilion, got into the carriage and returned to the palace, and was seen by Zhang Yunming, who was walking this way.

In the past, every time Zhang Yunming saw the four princes, the four princes were sitting on chairs, and Zhang Yunming didn't pay much attention to the Ding Nai waiter who was hiding behind the four princes. Today, seeing Gongzi Jiang, who often played chess with him, turned out to be a lame, Zhang Yunming's heart sank.

He stopped going to Guanyi Pavilion, turned his horse's head and walked back, and then carefully recalled the appearance of the servants around the Fourth Prince before realizing that he was an eunuch! He understood: The fourth prince in the palace was a lame, his mother was Concubine Jiang Shu, and he was born and called Gongzi Jiang by his mother's surname! He gritted his teeth for a while, cursed Shen Zhuo in his heart, hurried back to the house, and told his father that he might have made friends with the four princes accidentally.

Ping Yuanhou turned two big jade **** in his hands, tilted his head slightly, and after listening to Zhang Yunming's statement, he smiled and said, "Shenhou, that little bunny dare to fool you like this when he was only a few years old."

Zhang Yunming gnashed his teeth: "He must have seen the Fourth Prince before, so he pushed me out in order to divert attention! I hate me for seeing that boy with a gentle temperament and elegant manners. He thought he was the son of a civil servant and gave him the fan I drew. …"

Ping Yuan Hou said thoughtfully: "That's not a problem. What you should ask is, why did that little boy Shen Hou push you out when was it?"

Zhang Yunming frowned: "It should be the end of May."

The jade ball in Ping Yuanhou's hand stopped for a moment, and then turned around hurriedly. He whispered to himself: "May, what happened?"

Zhang Yunming said: "I heard that the four princes were sick in Qin Quan's hospital and almost died. Later, I stopped taking Qin Quan's medicine and returned to the palace at the end of May."

Ping Yuan Hou frowned and asked: "At that time, were the four princes taken back to the palace?"

Zhang Yunming shook his head and lowered his voice and said, "It should be, then..."

Ping Yuan Hou nodded slowly, "That little boy wants you to play chess with the fourth prince..."

Zhang Yunming gritted his teeth and said: "Others will only notice me, but will not notice that he and the fourth prince know each other!"

Pingyuan Hou grinned: "That bastard! More than his father!"

He frowned for a while, constricted a smile, and solemnly said to Zhang Yunming in a low voice: "The months when the four princes were outside must have something to do with Zhenbei Hou Mansion! That's why that little kid pushed you out! Let you Instead, get people's attention on his behalf. By doing this, you can be blind to others, but once we realize that there is no silver or three hundred taels! This is bound to be extremely dangerous. You must not say anything to him publicly."

Zhang Yunming made a fist with anger: "I have to find a chance to beat him up!"

Ping Yuan Hou laughed: "It's okay, but you must pretend to be unaware of this matter!"

Zhang Yunming nodded and asked, "Then I still play chess with the four princes as before"

Pingyuan Hou Si nodded and said: "Go down, just like before. The fourth prince has a disability, so he shouldn't be a taboo for the prince. It's just that you'd better win him."

Zhang Yunming nodded and said, "I understand, it seems that I am not trying to flatter him."

So, after this, Zhang Yunming still went to Guan Yi Pavilion to play chess with the four princes from time to time, trying hard to win, but unfortunately he didn't win a game. Sometimes when it was about to be done, there was some joy in my heart, and I was beaten to the bottom by the four princes. He looked at the gentle and harmless eyes of the fourth prince young man, suspecting that the fourth prince was deliberate.

The prince knew that the children of Zhenbeihou were hunting like the three princes. The three princes of Zhenbeihou and the first prince of Heping Yuanhou often played chess with the four princes. When they only lost or lost, he gritted his teeth and said coldly: " They all lived very well one by one! Zhenbei Houfu had a good relationship with the two princes, so they were at odds with this palace! Isn't that much more to say!"

The prince expressed dissatisfaction so strongly, everyone understood the prince's thoughts somewhat, and someone asked carefully: "Then, the four princes are easier..."

The prince said unhappily: "He is a handicapped! What can he do! Don't pick the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon!"

Speaking so clearly, the staff must have some reaction.

After being quiet for a while, one of the staff members whispered: "If they like to hunt outside, why not entrust the bandits..."

Another person immediately said: "No. The Zhenbeihoufu guards accompanying them have as many as a hundred people, and one is ten! When they meet in the suburbs, thousands of people may not be able to stop them."

Another staff member said: "Since you are worried about the guards, you should think about keeping the guards away from them."

Everyone thought for a while, and one of them lowered their voice: "Don’t the three princes and the children of Zhenbeihou all like hunting? It’s too late to prepare this year, but why doesn’t the prince ask the emperor to hold a winter hunt next year? By then, the prince, civil and military officials, The children of the imperial relatives and relatives will all come to participate..." He looked at the prince deeply.

The prince thought for a moment, and finally smiled.

One person added: "If it is for insurance, the prince can hold a dinner party. No matter how arrogant people are, it is impossible to bring their guards to the table! Each government guard must stay outside the banquet to guard. At the banquet, there are only the master and personal servants. That's it..."

The prince nodded: "How can you not invite the ladies of the capital at such a grand event?"

Everyone exchanged glances: The prince, this is the second lady in the town of Houfu, he hasn't forgotten, he's all 20 years old, so why is he killing a child?

They didn't know that in the heart of the prince, Shen Wen was already dead, and they just wanted to find a chance to implement this decision.

The new year is approaching, and the Hou Mansion is still as chaotic as last year.

Last year, because Yang was in bed, the old lady took Su Wanniang to take care of the New Year's affairs. This year I was expecting Liu's to take over, but Liu was pregnant and her belly was already pregnant, so Yang didn't let her be overworked. And Yang's youngest son is only six months old, and it is impossible to take care of things wholeheartedly. As a result, the old lady brought Su Wanniang and Qian Antonian all kinds of things. Although I had some experience last year, because Shen Yi got married, there was an extra layer of contact to contact, and it was not much easier.

After the New Year, when it came to the Lantern Festival, Yang said that during the past two Lantern Festivals, Shen Wen caused trouble, once in Changle Houfu and once in the Lantern Market, so this year everyone can go out, only Shen Wen can’t. Get out!

While Shen Wen expressed grievances, she begged Shen Xiang to take Su Wanniang out, saying that she should go to relax because of her hard work. Shen Xiang has always been friendly to Su Wanniang, and naturally agreed.

In fact, Shen Wen wanted to let Su Wanniang go to Guanyi Pavilion to see if Ji Wenzhao had come. He said that on February 2nd, Guanyi Pavilion solved last year's life and death calamity. Now if he arrives in the capital, Guanyi Pavilion should have some movement.

Shen Wen was trapped at home and had nothing to do. After dinner, he stayed in the main hall to accompany the old lady. Since the last time she went to the palace to feign death and shocked the old lady half to death, she often went to the old lady to act like a baby, and she used her consciousness to tap acupuncture points on her veins, lest the old lady might have something wrong with that stimulation.

Shen Wen sat next to the old lady and hummed a few nice words. Hearing the old lady nagging about her youth, the Yang family came with strong and strong Shen Qiang. Said to the old lady: "Mother, it's all washed and fed, but he can't sleep, you help coax." The words were a bit condescending.

When the old lady saw Shen Qiang, she happily took him over, held him in her arms, and shouted at Shen Qiang: "My dear, baby, I don't see my grandmother not sleeping, is it, is it..." Did not notice Yang's attitude.

Yang curled his lips and said to Shen Wen: "Don't stay too late, go to bed early."

Shen Wen nodded repeatedly: "Okay, don't worry, mother. I'll sleep when my sisters come back."

Yang frowned: "Can it be early?"

Shen Wen immediately twisted and acted like a baby: "Mother, I haven't been able to leave the house..."

Yang sighed and left.

The old lady put Shen Qiang on her lap. Shen Qiang has been sitting steadily for seven months. The old lady sang: "Go up the mountain... Go down the long slope... Cross the river... Take the carriage..." I went to and fro for a while, then swayed from side to side.

Shen Qiang chuckled with joy, drooling. The old lady stopped, took a handkerchief and wiped Shen Qiang's mouth, and said: "Drooling baby, smart, healthy, love is not enough..." After she wiped it, she faced Shen Qiang's dark face and said fiercely. A few kisses. Shen Qiang giggled again, drooling again, and put his small fist in his mouth to bite.

Upon seeing this, the old lady asked someone to hand over a salesman's drum, and turned the handle at Shen Qiang. Shen Qiang took his fist out of his mouth to catch the salesman's drum. The old lady asked him to catch a few times before catching it, and then smiled and wiped his saliva, saying: "Qiang'er is really smart! Look, I took away all the drums in my grandmother's hand..."

The old lady seemed to have forgotten Shen Wen and was completely immersed in the interaction with Shen Qiang. Shen Wen smiled, trying to suppress his urge to yawn-it's fun to tease a child, but only a few minutes, so how can the old lady be so enthusiastic about playing with Shen Qiang for the first half of an hour

Finally, Shen Qiang let go of the salesman's drum and began to grab his ears with both hands. The old lady hugged him and got up: "Oh, oh, baby is going to bed! Hurry up, get the quilt, and I will wrap him..." The person wrapped Shen Qiang from head to toe with a small quilt, and walked outside the house by holding him personally. Shen Wen hurriedly took the cloak and put it on the old lady, fearing that it would be difficult to leave in the dark, he also put on his coat, supporting the old lady on one side.

When he arrived in Yang's bedroom, the old lady placed Shen Qiang gently on the bed. Shen Qiang's eyes reluctantly opened again, but then they closed. The old lady smiled and looked at Shen Qiang for a while, and saw that he was sleeping well. After putting the quilt on him, he got up, told the nurse in the house a few words, and left.

Shen Wen helped the old lady back to the backyard to rest. On the way, the old lady sighed and said: "We finally have children in our house. Qiang'er is much older! More skinny than you! When you were young, you were obedient. . Quietly, like a cat..."

Shen Wen suspected that the old lady kept the child as a pet in order to replace the dog she sent away.

The old lady still muttered: "Looking at Qiang'er's appearance, why do I like it so much in my heart? I'm old, I don't know how many years I can watch him..."

Shen Wen was sour in his heart and hurriedly said with a smile: "What did grandma say, you must be able to watch your fourth brother grow up and become a general."

The old lady chuckled, "That's okay to dare to love..."

Since the death of Su Wanniang's mother, the house where Su Wanniang's mother lived was retired, the fourth prince lost the opportunity to wait to see Su Wanniang on the road.

For several months, the four princes did not see Su Wanniang. At the Lantern Festival, the four princes finally had a glimmer of hope.

As soon as it was getting dark, the fourth prince asked Ding Nei's attendant to drive outside the lamp city. In the past six months, in the night in the palace, the fourth prince practiced walking quietly, and finally was able to walk like ordinary people, but he had to walk around with his legs limping outside. As usual, the four princes supported Ding's arm and walked to the key point of entering the lamp market, and then stood in the shadows, looking at the street full of lanterns.

Later generations called the Lantern Festival the Valentine’s Day in China, because on this day, the “three nos” girls who usually smile, stay at home, and can’t move their skirts can go out and walk freely on the street and laugh. For everyone, what a happy night it is.

The four princes looked sadly at the boys and girls. When can he walk normally with Su Wanniang on the street like this, two people look at me and I look at you, taking turns blushing, go buy a food for each other, guess a riddle for each other...

He waited for a long time, and finally saw a few guards leading Shen Yi and others to come over. At the end of the team, Su Wanniang and Chun Lu walked beside Shen Xiang, and the three of them talked and laughed.

Shen Xiang wears a short dress as before, but she is the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion after all. The short dress is also very particular, with dark red satin and embroidered cuffs. In contrast, Su Wanniang and Chunlu are both in dark green cotton clothes. There is no embroidery. The style is simple. It doesn't match Su Wanniang's peerless appearance, although Su Wanniang is almost combing her bangs to the tip of her nose and on her cheeks. Each has a large lock of hair, and the whole face also shows a chin.

The fourth prince only felt his heart twitching, and could not help frowning slightly. He watched them pass without blinking, and then did not move for a long time.

From a distance, the Fourth Prince saw Su Wanniang pointing in the direction of Guan Yi Pavilion, Shen Xiang nodded, and after saying something, Shen Yi took everyone there. The fourth prince was overjoyed, and then walked out of the shadows and walked towards Guanyi Pavilion.

A big notice was posted outside Guanyi Pavilion, saying that on February 2nd, Ji Guoshou would come to solve the "Life and Death Tribulation" chess game he got last year as scheduled. Baoguanren went back and forth in the building, greeting the guests.

The Hou Mansion's team arrived in front of Guanyi Pavilion, and Shen Zhuo went in first, still pulling Shen Yi and Shen Jian, but Su Wanniang didn't want to go in.

In the past, Su Wanniang came here to see Ji Wenzhao alone. Today, the people from the same Hou Mansion will let the Bao Guan people see that they are from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Maybe the Bao Guan people will say hello to her. In front of the Hou Mansion's guards, it will inevitably make people suspicious. When did she meet Bao Guanren?

Su Wanniang originally told Shen Xiang that she would come over and buy some chess books, because Shen Wen was learning to play chess, and the books in the mansion were too difficult. Now I pointed to the book stand next to Guanyi Pavilion and said, "It's selling books over there, so I won't go in."

Shen Xiang said, "If you buy it, come in and find us." He brought Chun Lu into the Guanyi Pavilion.

Su Wanniang walked to the book stand next to the gate of Guanyi Pavilion alone, and began to flip through the scrolls with the hanging lantern. The four princes met and thanked the emperor Hou Tu in their hearts, and couldn't believe that his luck could be so good.

He didn't dare to go too fast so as not to attract people's attention, but grabbed the hand of Ding Naibu with great force.

The four princes walked behind Su Wanniang and dared not say hello, for fear that someone would see that he knew Su Wanniang and wanted to pretend to fall next to Su Wanniang. But remembering the kick that Su Wanniang kicked him last time, she didn't dare to touch Su Wanniang, so she staggered, as if she stumbled on something, and rushed to the book stand three feet away from Su Wanniang, barely standing firm.

Su Wanniang was taken aback, and she hurriedly looked sideways. The fourth prince straightened her body under the help of Ding's wife. She felt that she was not demeaned and flushed. He saluted Su Wanniang and whispered, "Offended."

Su Wanniang immediately replied: "This prince is polite." She looked very solemn, and the fourth prince showed a disappointed look. Su Wanniang's eye was half-blinked playfully, indicating that she understood the fourth prince's affectation.

The fourth prince only felt that the cold breeze blowing on his cheeks instantly became cool and pleasant. Most of Su Wanniang's face, which was covered by her hair, showed amazing beauty under the lantern. He could hardly face it, so he looked down at the book stand and asked in a low voice: "What book is the girl reading?"

Su Wanniang also lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "I just want to read books about chess."

really! Her master can play chess! The fourth prince was relieved that his guess was correct, but at the same time vaguely worried: If her master wasn't the second lady, wouldn't she be a man?

He picked up a book, let Su Wanniang see the cover, and whispered: "This book is a game record of the previous masters. I have read it. It is very interesting."

The two seemed to be reading books separately, Su Wanniang did not dare to talk openly, nor turned her head and said, "I want something that is not so difficult."

The four princes put down the book in his hand, reached out and took a copy not far away, and said: "This book "A Brief Talk on Gameplay" is written as its name, easy to understand, and it talks about basic strategies."

Su Wanniang glanced, and said a little apologetically: "It's better to have a book that teaches people how to play chess. From the beginning, whoever comes out first..."

The fourth prince was taken aback, Su Wanniang added: "Bought it for my lady." It was used as a disguise.

The four princes felt relieved, looked at it again, and gestured to Su Wanniang to the far corner, and said, "That "Children Learning Chess" should be fine."

Su Wanniang looked up and leaned forward to take it. There was something soft and graceful in her movement, causing the heart of the fourth prince to jump again.

Su Wanniang turned the book in her hand and said happily: "This should have been possible." She whispered to the fourth prince: "Thank you. How do you know so much?"

The fourth prince glanced at the book stand and said lightly: "I have probably read these books."

Su Wanniang could imagine him reading these books alone in the deep palace, inexplicably sad, and hurriedly lowered her head and said: "Don't always read these chess books, watch some health-preserving books, and take good care of yourself."

She still speaks in a teaching tone, but the fourth prince was so happy that he couldn't help but laugh, lowered his head deeper, and whispered "um"-mother taught herself that others should have a response when speaking, otherwise it would be rude!

Su Wanniang likes to keep everyone under control. She has a clear view of Shen Wen's yard as an example. It's a pity that the two closest people around her are the most disobedient. Shen Wen naturally can't control it, and her younger brother Su Chuanya is becoming more and more disobedient, often with inexplicable thoughts. But this fourteen or five-year-old boy was so meek, which made Su Wanniang feel a sense of accomplishment. Looking up and seeing that no one else is paying attention to herself, Su Wanniang continued to teach the four princes: "You should practice standing stance. At the beginning, you don't need to be too long and stop sore legs. But you have to gradually increase it for a long time, if you can Standing for a quarter or two is good for your legs."

The fourth prince drank honey, sweet from his mouth to his abdomen, and whispered: "Okay, I'll go back today... and start."

Su Wanniang sighed: "It must be late for you to go back today, take a good rest, and start again tomorrow, but be persistent, don't stop. Every day..." She shut up-so say you are not good

The fourth prince waited for a while and asked: "What's wrong with you every day"

Su Wanniang thought, if she didn’t use herself as an example, how could she persuade the other party to persevere and say, “I have to practice martial arts every day. I used to practice martial arts with the eldest lady every day, but now I don’t have time, I have to practice yoga every day."

The fourth prince asked curiously: "What is yoga?"

Su Wanniang regretted it, but she still said, "It's a kind of guiding technique, it's the technique of stretching and softening the body. Well, don't tell others..."

The four princes imagined that Su Wanniang stretched her graceful waist...there was a heat in her nose, she hurriedly shifted her thoughts, and whispered: "I won't tell others..." I told them why you are practicing stretching and soft body!

Su Wanniang whispered again: "I can't go in, I have to wait here for them to come out. Don't stop here for too long. It's cold, don't catch the cold in your legs, go back soon."

The fourth prince knew that Su Wanniang was caring for him, and besides, he had been standing here for so long, and he should leave. So he picked up two books and handed them to Ding Naiji. When Ding Naiji asked the owner of the book stand for the money, the fourth prince said to Su Wanniang: "Look at the notice. On February 2, Ji Wenzhao will talk about chess here, and I will come. All day long..." His mouth was dry.

Su Wanniang still looked down at the book, and after a while, the fourth prince felt as long as eternity.

Su Wanniang was thinking: she was indeed supposed to come that day. No matter how much he had to try to meet Ji Wenzhao again, Shen Wen had to tell him. But how can you meet alone...If you come that day, it's best not to follow other people in the palace. …You need to disguise yourself. Even if the official Bao recognizes it, he won't talk too much...

Su Wanniang finally said softly: "I will fight for it."

The rabbit in the heart of the fourth prince had turned into a deer, almost breaking his ribs. Attendant Ding finished paying the money, the fourth prince helped Ding Nei waiter and turned around and whispered: "Then I will go first, you have a good festival."

Su Wanniang didn't raise her head and said, "So are you, go back and take a good rest." After walking like this, his leg has only been connected for half a year, so it won't hurt.

Obviously it was a normal conversation, but the four princes were as comfortable as they had been in hot water. He helped Ding Naibu's arm and leg to walk back to the carriage. All the way, people were laughing and laughing, and there were bright lanterns everywhere on the street. From a distance, watching the third prince walking with the fifth princess and a few royal guards on the other side of the street, he did not go to say hello. There is so much joy in his heart now, he just wants to be alone and savor it.

Seeing the four princes looking drunk and fascinated, Ding Naibu dare not say a word, lest he startled the four princes' daydreams.

As soon as Shen Yi and the others entered the Guanyi Pavilion, the Baoguan greeted them with a smile, and saluted the sons of the Shen family: "San Gongzi is a regular visitor here, and these are."

Shen Zhuo introduced: "This is my elder brother, and this is my second brother."

The Bao Guanren enthusiastically clasped his fists: "Long Yang Yang Yang! The two sons look mighty, they are really the generals." The guard of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is nearby, so you can't pretend to be confused at this time.

Shen Zhuo smiled and patted the Bao official: "Lao Bao is really a force. I haven't seen you so diligent after I have been here so many times. My brother and they came to say such good things."

Guan Ren pretended to be aggrieved: "How can the third son of Shen say that your eldest brother is so heroic..."

Shen Zhuo smiled and pointed to Shen Jian: "My second brother always looks like he is smiling."

The official Bao said to Shen Jian solemnly: "The second son is obviously a man of foresight and good at game. I don't know if he can play a game of chess with me. Ji Guoshou also played a game of chess with me..."

Shen Zhuo saw the official Bao's intention, and before he could stop it, he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "The official Bao is polite, and sometimes he must ask the official Bao for advice."

The official Bao immediately said, "Then I will be here to wait for the driver as soon as I declare tomorrow."

Shen Jian nodded with a smile, and Shen Zhuo shook his head and sighed-the second brother was caught by the Baoguan!

Official Bao finally found another person who could play chess with him, and shouted excitedly: "Hurry up, hurry up, give everyone a refreshment! This is a distinguished guest!"

Shen Yi hurriedly said: "We are just crossing the road, just drink hot tea casually."

The official Bao said with a smile: "The son is polite, how come you have to eat in the nine cold nights."

Hey guy ran over, asked them to sit down, served them refreshments, and did not forget to repeat to them the content of the advertisement: "Ladies and gentlemen, you must come to us on February 2nd! Ji Guoshou is here to help. Challenged his'life and death robbery' last year! This game is very powerful. We have been hanging here for a year and no one has solved it! Even when Ji Gongzi received this game, he was so angry that he vomited blood. But this year Ji Gongzi sent a letter. Now, I can solve it! Let me just say, Ji Gongzi is a national player, how could it be so rare that he should not miss this wonderful..."

They were drinking tea and snacks here. Outside, Su Wanniang paid the money after the fourth prince left, and she wanted to walk around after she took the book, and she just came back when Shen Yi and the others came out. But not far after a stroll, a girl came over and smiled and saluted, and asked: "This sister is from Houfu, Zhenbei, may I ask where is your host?"

Su Wanniang hurriedly returned the gift. Just about to ask who it was, she saw the third prince and the fifth princess in plain clothes not far behind the girl. Su Wanniang hurriedly pointed to Guanyi Pavilion and said, "The eldest son, they are in Guanyi Pavilion." The girl thanked her, and went back and told the third prince that they went to Guanyi Pavilion.

Su Wanniang thought that it would take a while, so she went to look at the lights on the street.

However, Shen Xiang was constantly looking at the door, wondering why Su Wanniang hadn't come in yet. Looking around, she saw the third prince and the fifth princess come in, and Shen Xiang hurriedly lowered his eyes.

In the past six months, she often went on horseback hunting with her eldest brother and the others. The three princes were among them, but she never went crazy like the last time she fought with Shen Zhuo. It was normal as before, but Shen Xiang just felt that there was something wrong. It's the same.

She knew that the third prince often looked at her, because she also often looked at the back of the third prince. But as soon as they walked to the other side, they bowed in a restrained manner, and the two of them were sure that neither of them would look at each other. They were extremely solemn, and their noses were higher than the others.

The third prince has not returned Shen Xiang's sword, so Shen Xiang is naturally embarrassed to ask for it. In case the other party has forgotten which corner he is in, how stingy he will appear to go, maybe the other party will feel that he is looking for a chance to attract the other party's attention!

The third prince met with the eldest brother and the others, and when the fifth princess arrived in front of Shen Xiang, Shen Xiang looked up. After the two met, the fifth princess asked: "Why didn't your sister come?"

Shen Xiang saw that the five princesses, who were about his age, seemed to have grown up a lot this year. My mother gave birth to a little brother six months ago, but her mother died before that. Shen Xiang secretly sighed and said with a smile on his face: "I..." Just about to say "mother", he hurriedly changed her personal name and said, "Grandma asked her to play with my brother in the house..." Shen Xiang's words were low--- Still said the wrong thing.

The fifth princess really sighed: "You have a little brother how old is he?"

Shen Xiang didn't dare not answer, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Seven months."

The fifth princess lowered her eyes, and for a while, she said with a crying voice: "I...no gift for the child, I think...maybe I can see your little sister...just bring her a bead..."

Shen Xiang felt uncomfortable, and hurriedly stretched out the fifth princess's sleeve and said: "Then give it to me, I will bring her back." It was an interruption.

The fifth princess lowered her head and took out a large pearl from her sleeve, and tears fell on her hand. She put the pearl in Shen Xiang's hand without raising her head and said, "You thank her for me..."

Shen Xiang took the beads and whispered: "Why do you thank her for being so kind to her? She must thank you. Don't be uncomfortable. Come to our house when you have the opportunity to play." The fifth princess nodded.

The Baoguan who looked out at the door said loudly: "Oh! Isn't this Young Master Zhang from Pingyuan Hou Mansion? Come in! Come in! The steamed cake that I just came out of here is still steaming!"

Several people on the side of the road listened and all walked in.

Zhang Yunming smiled and said, "Okay, you are an official, use me as a scoundrel to get you business" and walked in. When I looked up, I saw the people from Beihou Mansion in Manwu Town, and the third prince, their feet stopped at the threshold, and they couldn't get in.

Shen Yi and Shen Jian were talking to the three princes. They didn't see Zhang Yunming, but Shen Zhuo saw Zhang Yunming, and sneered: "Master Zhang, seeing me, if you dare not come in, you are afraid of losing."

Zhang Yunming raised his eyebrows, pulled out the fan from his waist and held it in his palm, stepped over the door, gave Shen Zhuo a fist, and then saluted Shen Xiang and the fifth princess. Seeing the five princesses with melancholy faces and red eyes, Zhang Yunming didn't dare to look more. He smiled and said, "My sisters originally wanted to see the lamp, but my mother felt slightly uncomfortable and left them all at home. Otherwise, I can see them. It's here for you." I said to myself, fortunately not taking them out.

Shen Zhuo pulled his face down when he heard it. Zhang Yunming unfolded his fan, turned his face to Shen Zhuo and smiled: "Shen's third son seems to be very interested and high-spirited. He will definitely come to challenge Ji Wenzhao on February 2nd, right?" The words were gentle, but mocking.

Shen Zhuo squinted to look at Zhang Yunming: "Fan in the winter, are you sick?"

Zhang Yunming ignored Shen Zhuo’s attack and slapped it twice. He said happily, “This is the elegance of a literati. Those who are not full of poems and books cannot appreciate the charm. In other words, this fan is my proud work. Look! One! A little dog, with a rather arrogant and innocent look, and gave it to the third son of Shen how to match Jun very well."

This is a curse. The five princesses changed their sorrow and raised their sleeves to hide their faces and smile.

Shen Zhuo gritted his teeth and smiled, turning his face and shouting to Shen Yi: "Big Brother, Third Prince, Young Master Zhang has been waiting for a long time!" Let you hide! I have to be worthy of you!

Zhang Yunming knew that he couldn't escape when he came in, so he hurriedly walked over and greeted him with a smile.

Seeing the time is late, Shen Yi left. The third prince could not immediately chase the people from the Zhenbei Houfu, but Zhang Yunming came in and had to eat some steamed cakes. As a result, the third prince stayed behind with the fifth princess and Zhang Yunming, and ordered the newly released yellow with Zhang Yunming. I ate the rice cake.

Shen Yi and the others came out, Su Wanniang held five or six books, and had been waiting for a long time. Shen Xiang asked in a low voice, "Why don't you go in and it's so cold outside!"

Su Wanniang stomped her foot and said, "I'm always afraid that you will go out as soon as I get in. Why not just wait."

Shen Xiang was so angry that he pushed Su Wanniang: "You stupid boy!"

Su Wanniang said to Shen Wen in her heart: You have taught me badly!

When Shen Xiang returned to the house, he followed Su Wanniang to find Shen Wen, and handed the big pearl given by the fifth princess to Shen Wen: "Take it, this is for you by the fifth princess."

Shen Wen happily took it, smiled and asked Shen Xiang, "Wow, it's so big. You saw the fifth princess, then you must see the third prince..."

Shen Xiang immediately interrupted in a serious face: "What are you doing to mention him!"

Shen Wen didn't react for a while, blinked and asked: "Why can't I mention it?"

Shen Xiang was angry: "Can't mention it! Children's house, don't mention anything like the prince!"

Shen Wen's eyes flickered and looked at Shen Xiang. Shen Xiang's face was a little red, and he turned to leave. Shen Wen rushed up and took his arms, shouting: "Sister tell me! Otherwise, I will say that my sister likes him!"

Shen Xiang flushed, grabbed Shen Wen, and swayed back and forth onto the bed: "What are you talking about! What are you talking about!"

Shen Wen shouted: "Help, it's going to fall apart!" He was pushed down on the edge of the bed.

Su Wanniang hurriedly smiled and pulled Shen Xiang over, Shen Xiang stopped her hand, looked at Shen Wen sternly, and said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense! Do you know it! Otherwise, I'm going to beat you!"

Shen Wen sat up, looked at Shen Xiang and nodded timidly, trying hard to squeeze out some tears-she is getting older now, tears are not as easy as before, maybe when people grow up, the tear glands will be smaller.

Shen Xiang sighed, and Shen Wen whispered: "Do you like him?"

Shen Xiang looked at Shen Wen angrily: "Who likes it! I don't like him! I don't like him at all! I don't like him at all! He is so tugging, he always puts on airs, who wants to care about him! Martial arts is not as good as a big brother... How!"

Shen Wen nodded in understanding, and looked at Shen Xiang sympathetically: "But you still..."

Shen Xiang nodded Shen Wen's head fiercely, then pushed her back onto the bed, stomping and saying, "I don't know you can't tell me!" He walked away angrily.

Su Wanniang smiled and helped Shen Wen up, and Shen Wen sighed: Shen Xiang is almost twelve years old, and people are all mature early at this time. This is a puppy love! She whispered to Su Wanniang: "I really **** my heart!"

Seeing Shen Wen as a child, saying this kind of grandma's words, Su Wanniang smiled, and while helping Shen Wen prepare for bed, she carefully told Shen Wen about the people and things encountered on the Lantern Festival street, and finally she was a little confused. He asked Shen Wen, "You said, how often do the four princes come out now? Is there him in your dream? Will he do something?"

After Shen Wen had made an idea to take the leg for the fourth prince, he put him aside in his mind. This person died in claustrophobia in his previous life and did not appear in the fight at all. What can he do in this life? Su Wanniang is so beautiful. Who sees that Su Wanniang likes him? Su Wanniang is only twelve years old. I have a good impression of him, but my head is as full of revenge as myself, and there is probably no room to like anyone. Unlike Shen Xiang...

Shen Wen shook his head and said: "I have never dreamed of him. He knew that his mother was poisoned to death, and he would definitely not help the prince. For other things, I can't think of what he can do in the future."

Many years later, whenever Shen Wen recalled his words, he wanted to slap himself to death with a stone.

The four princes who were discussed by them returned to the palace and really stood for a few minutes after taking a bath. Although he went to the Lantern Market and stood there again, he felt very tired, but he couldn't fall asleep while lying in bed. He recalled the conversation with Su Wanniang repeatedly, and felt that what Su Wanniang said was caring and loving, and it was simply overwhelming...

In the middle of the night, the fourth prince got out of bed, the waiter Ding heard it, and got up and went into the house too busy. The four princes motioned to him to light up the lamp, and he began to turn the cabinets and cabinets by himself. I took out the jewelry boxes of my mother who had been sealed for many years, opened them one by one, and looked at the jewelry in the same way.

After tossing back and forth for a long time, the fourth prince picked a small jade pendant and held it in his hand. Then he didn't clean up, went to bed exhausted, yawned and went to sleep.

Ding Nai waiter sighed at the jewelry on the table, put the things roughly in the box, turned off the lights, and found that the windows were already grayish white.
