Chapter 104： Heart-to-heart

When the letter from the Ministry of Etiquette arrived at the border, it did not receive immediate attention: Shen Jian, who was in charge of the correspondence between Zhenbeihou, now known as Governor Shen, went out of the city to the border area with Zhenbeihou, and was regarded as inspecting with the leader, because the opposite Beirong A large number of troops have been assembled recently.

Zhenbeihou stood by the boundary stone, frowning and looking into the distance.

Shen Jian and Shen Yi were not far away, whispering.

Shen Jian asked: "Do you think they will attack?"

Shen Yi nodded and said: "Looking at it, there are two hundred thousand, and a lot of baggage. The soldiers are all in armor, not idle soldiers."

Shen Jian frowned, and said in a very low voice, "But, what my sister said...It should be three years later, and there are more than half a million."

Shen Yi also had a grim expression: "It's better that in three years, we are not ready at all! Although I have two thousand soldiers, but the weapons are normal, and the horses are only five or six hundred..."

Shen Jian also nodded and said, "I prepared stone for her, but there was no construction at all..."

Shen Yi said with some worry: "Did she attract attention..."

Shen Jian denied: "No, logically, she is now living in the temple. Jingcheng's eyes are fixed on the third brother or the eldest sister. Even if someone goes to the temple and waits, she will never think that she will leave. You still have to. Don't know, she has always been good at disguising..." Everyone was fooled.

Shen Yi was still worried: "Then this way..."

Shen Jian shook his head again and whispered: "Their party pretended to be refugees. It is the year of the disaster. The refugees and beggars and bandits are rampant all over the ground. If they are not out of line, no one will notice..."

Shen Yi looked at the outside world: "Will they launch it, does my sister come to help us fight the enemy?"

Shen Jian shook his head again: "It's not like, my sister has always been cautious and will not tell us such a big thing."

Shen Yi nodded slowly: "If they believe in her, they will retreat."

This time, Shen Jian didn't believe it: "The army is so close to the border, why did they retreat?"

Shen Yi exhaled: "I don't know, anyway, we are not ready this time, we can only think in a good direction."

Shen Jian smiled bitterly: "I hope we will get what we want..."

The Zhenbeihou in front turned his head and said, "Come here!"

Two people walked over, and Zhenbeihou pointed to the front line of the border and said, "Our soldiers will guard day and night. If something happens, hurry up and light up the smoke."

Shen Yi and Shen Jian both said yes. Zhenbeihou stayed at the border for another two days before returning to Yancheng accompanied by Shen Yi and Shen Jian.

Zhenbeihou read the letter from the Ministry of Rites.

Thinking of the situation on the border, Zhenbeihou's brows knotted again: At this time, who is still thinking about this kind of thing!

He was stationed at the border for many years, far away from the capital, and he didn't want the emperor to think that he had eyes and ears in the capital, and there were very few people passing news. He thinks that he has heavy soldiers in his hands, and his main responsibility is to guard the frontier, and he shouldn't be the one who is going to arrogant others.

Yang and Ping Yuan Hou's wife Li verbally raised the matter, but did not tell him at first. It was not until the two matchmakers were sent to each other to move around before they wrote to him and informed him. Before Zhenbeihou and Pingyuanhou were both generals, they had both fought and fought on the battlefield, somewhat sympathetic and sympathetic. Hou Pingyuan released his military power, and Hou Zhenyuan understood that the roads of the two people were different, and there was not much communication afterwards. However, the two juniors have a very good relationship. First, the two daughters often have contacts with Ping Yuanhou's second daughter, and then the sons also play chess together, just like friends. Zhenbeihou felt that it would be okay for the two families to become in-laws, so they did not oppose Yang's decision.

Zhenbeihou didn’t know what was going on in the capital. He only vaguely heard that the fourth princess was interested in Zhang Datong, but then Zhang Datong left the capital. The four princesses met with Fan, and then there were rumors that Ping Yuanhou was injured. . He was feeling confusing and confusing, the letter from the Ministry of Rites arrived. Is this because the emperor heard about his family’s marriage to Heping Yuanhou Mansion and expressed disagreement. But why did the emperor intervene in this matter and display heavy troops at Bei Rong over the border? He asks more!

Zhenbeihou called Shen Yi and Shen Jian to ask their opinions.

Speaking of which, Zhenbeihou was disappointed with Shen Yi! He had high hopes for this eldest son, and hoped that he would be by his side when he came, and learn from himself the skills of leading soldiers in battle, so that he would be able to help him in the future. But as soon as Shen Yi arrived, he said that he should be familiar with military affairs. Instead of asking his father for advice, he plunged into the lower ranks, visited barracks checkpoints, reclamation camps, and talked with many soldiers, often not seeing him for two to three months. one side. After waiting for a year, he even personally selected soldiers, saying that he was going to set up his own guard, and then he took hundreds of his men to the field often, camped outside the city, and did not live in Yancheng at all. Zhenbeihou felt that this was because he was in an impetuous mood and couldn't follow himself to learn the essentials of military governance.

He also severely reprimanded Shen Yi several times. No matter what he said, Shen Yi only listened with a calm face. In the end, there was one sentence: He must have his own guard.

Zhenbeihou was helpless and regretted not letting this child come to him earlier. When he was a teenager, he brought him up at the border. Maybe he was more obedient than waiting for him to grow up.

His regret was made up after Shen Jian arrived.

The Tugu Khan is getting stronger and stronger, and Bei Rong will fight the Southern Dynasty sooner or later. After Zhenbei Hou heard that Shen Jian and the third prince were very close, he asked the second son to come quickly. But when Shen Jian arrived, Zhenbeihou apologized to him again-Shen Jian went to the border without a child. Shen Jian wanted to swim around, but Zhenbeihou did not stop him. But after only wandering for more than a month, Shen Jian regained his heart and took the initiative to ask to enter the Chinese army camp. Starting from minor chores, he systematically learned the management of grain, grass and weapons, the law of army deployment, the dispatch of soldiers and so on. Now he has become the right and left hand of Zhenbeihou, and most of the military orders issued by him usually come from this second child.

But Zhenbeihou was a bit dissatisfied: Shen Jian was obviously an army manager, he did not have the assertiveness and pride of being a general... So, to become an army commander, you still have to have the strength of the boss...

Zhenbeihou sighed: There is no best of both worlds in the world. I hope that in the future, their brothers will be of the same mind and complement each other.

In the army camp, Zhenyuanhou gave the letter from the Ministry of Rites to Shen Yi and Shen Jian. The two brothers exchanged glances and sneers flashed across their faces. Their understanding of the situation in the capital is far more detailed than that of Zhenbeihou. The Zhang Ding next to Shen Jian was given by Zhang Yunming, who turned out to be Zhang Yunzheng's young man. Pingyuan Hou’s Mansion kept a big secret like Zhang Yunzheng, and the people who gave Zhang Yunzheng were all Pingyuan Hou’s well-chosen talents. Now that he is by Shen Jian’s side, he naturally represents Pingyuan Hou’s power. Many news about the capital were obtained by Zhang Ding from the secret line of the Pingyuanhou Mansion. He told Shen Jian orally, and Shen Jian took another opportunity to tell Shen Yi.

Of course, the two brothers knew what happened to the emperor's assassination of Ping Yuanhou. They also knew that the nephew of Yuanjiao from Pingyuanhou Mansion was the one who escorted Shen Wen to the border. The craftsmen led by Shen Jian were bought with Pingyuan Hou Mansion's silver, and the future grain was supported by Pingyuan Hou Mansion. The two families are already life and death related, but now they can't tell my father about this arrangement.

The emperor's doing so obviously separated the two families. Marriage in this era is about the orders of the parents. As long as the consent of the child is given, it is not acceptable to make an agreement in advance. The emperor naturally didn’t know that Shen Zhuo liked Zhang Yunjin in his heart, how did he break it up?

Shen Yi winked at Shen Jian, and Shen Jian opened his mouth and said, "Father, this matter is very wrong."

Zhenbeihou asked: "Why?"

Shen Jian whispered: "Father, in recent years, the court has repeatedly reduced its military needs and the supply of food and grass has completely ceased. It is because of the disaster year. Isn't it because the emperor is not happy with his father."

Zhenbei Hou Wei sighed: "I also understand the reason for this. Back then, my father used to..." Soon after the emperor took the throne, the old town Beihou died on the battlefield. Zhenbeihou was a little suspicious, thinking that his father chose to die. To protect the family.

Shen Yi sneered: "Father did not know that this was not a temptation from the emperor."

Zhenbeihou's face turned dark.

Shen Jian whispered again: "I also think the emperor is testing his father, wanting to see if his father has responded, so that we can see whether our family wants royal asylum. If the father agrees to it..." Shen Jian lowered his voice even more. : "Will the emperor be more suspicious"

Shen Yi hummed: "The five princesses are already a monk, how can they be vulgar in a word"

Shen Jian nodded: "Yeah, this is a face-to-face talk. Father can't take it seriously..."

The two brothers broke the crooked building with one word and one word. Zhenbeihou finally said: "Thank you in reply, saying that your third brother is not worthy of the royal princess." Originally, he didn't want Shen Zhuo to marry. Is the princess okay? What can I test?

Shen Jian nodded and said: "Okay, let me write. In the past, the memorials that requested the court to increase military supplies were all in jeopardy, and there was no response. Now that there is this opportunity, should my father report to the court urgently on the military situation on the border and ask for more military supplies"

Zhenbeihou smiled bitterly: "Your kid is smart, yes, I looked at how Tugu Khan wanted to fight a war. Our military materials are gradually scarce, so I have to show my feelings."

Shen Yi asked: "What about the marriage of the third brother?"

Zhenyuan Hou sighed: "We can only pause for now, wait for a while."

So Shen Jian began to write a letter to the Ministry of Rites on behalf of Zhenbeihou, and firstly talked about the Tugu Khan at the border with more than 200,000 soldiers at this time, with very bad intentions! Looks like you are about to attack at any time! Then he elaborated on the drought in the past few years, how food and grass were in short supply at the border, and the soldiers had no intention of guarding the border. Then he wrote that he hoped that the imperial court would immediately allocate grain to the border to strengthen border defense! At the end, he used a few words to say that the dog had a reckless temperament and did not dare to be a princess. This is where the reply to the Ministry of Rites is obviously taking the Ministry of Rites as a message, expecting the Ministry of Rites to pass this letter directly to the emperor. Zhenbeihou looked at it and found it to be true, so he approved it, signed his name and stamped it.

"Alarming!" The emperor threw the letter on the book case. "He doesn't want the five princesses, and he doesn't want to rip off his face in peace! Use these things to bargain with me! Do I want to listen to him and give him these military supplies and talents? It's unreasonable to let his son marry the fifth princess! Anyone who doesn't know what to do!"

But having said that, after reading this letter, the emperor was really worried about the situation at the border. He asked his own people and said that there was an army of Beirong gathering on the border. The emperor originally thought that if Zhenbeihou refused to marry, he would find a mistake and sentence Third Young Master Shen to exile or something, but now, nothing can be done.

Now that there are years of drought, it is impossible to supply food and grass at the border. Zhenbeihou is relying on his own strength to guard the border. The emperor is happy and has really torn his face. Although Zhenbeihou cannot do anything to surrender to Beirong, But if he loses, it will be in trouble. It is that he is undefeated, and once a war is fought there, if he sends someone to the capital to settle the debts of the court over the years and disclose his predicament, he will inevitably respond to the loud voices of the three princes during this period. Even if the prince fully controls the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War, under public opinion, the hearts of the people will also tend to the side of the three princes...

The emperor was a little irritable: he didn't like the prince being bigger, but he also didn't like the third prince who was cold to him. It's best for two people to compete with each other, but no one can beat the other. If Zhenbeihou really got into trouble, the three princes would really have a bigger win, and the emperor didn't want to see this.

Thinking about it, the emperor frowned, his expression very gloomy.

Grandpa Sun hurriedly beat the emperor's back and whispered: "In this way, at least those two families will not get married."

The emperor sneered: "They just want to wait for me to forget about it, huh, I want to see how long they can wait! Let people stare, if they continue to marry, I will give them marriage! Don't think I really dare not. Treat them!"

Grandpa Sun agreed in a low voice, but knew in his heart that the emperor was only angry. To put it this way, it is just to pass a message to stop the two families from discussing marriage, and not to give the emperor face. And if the two families don't get married, the emperor's goal will be achieved.

Shen Jian copied a copy of the letter to the Ministry of Rites to Zhang Ding, and said to him: "I would rather demolish a thousand temples than one marriage. I can tell you that my third brother and Miss Zhang Liu have already negotiated marriage. , You have a lot of good words, but you can't say that there is any change on our side."

Zhang Ding nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course."

Therefore, Ping Yuanhou not only read the letter, but also got a report from Zhang Ding: Zhenbeihou did not want to divorce.

Knowing this, Ping Yuanhou took the emperor's threat lightly: his eldest son was making weapons, and his second son went to the border. The power of the prince in the court is getting weaker, and the power of the three princes is getting stronger. In order to marry the eldest daughter of Zhenbeihou, the three princes are still in their twenties and are not married. Once the three princes come to power in the future, the position of the Zhenbeihoufu... the future is bright!

But the Li family felt uncomfortable: If this marriage fails, she is really worried about whether the emperor will want his daughter to enter the palace. Saying that Zhang Yunjin enters the palace is just Shen Wen’s tactics. The emperor has gradually lost interest in women. In every sex, his heartbeat is always uncomfortable, and his body is sweaty and sweaty. After two or three days, he will have headaches and dizziness. Diarrhea does not stop. The imperial doctor finally suggested that the emperor should recharge his energy-this is another way of saying abstinence.

Seeing Li's frown, Ping Yuanhou couldn't tell the truth, so he could only persuade: "Jin'er hasn't gotten here soon, so you can wait."

Li sighed deeply: "Why are you waiting again? Da Lang's marriage has been delayed. That child will have to wait until twenty-two. Now Jin'er's..." She almost cried.

Ping Yuan Hou took Li's hand: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't worry about them."

Li remembered that Shen Zhuo had come to help the guard when he was assassinated in Pingyuanhou, and didn't want to change the house immediately, so as not to chill the juniors, he could only nod his head.

The marriage talk stopped halfway through, and I had to explain to my daughter how to do it. Li called Zhang Yunjin the next day.

When Zhang Yunjin came, Li's youngest son was showing his fists to Li in the room, hitting the ground one by one, saying: "Mother! Look, how good is my fight! How good is it!"

Li reluctantly smiled: "Awesome, Xiao Lang's body is getting stronger and stronger."

Zhang Yunjin smiled and covered her mouth with her sleeves: "How can I say that I am so good?" She was in a good mood. Li sighed secretly and said to Zhang Yunzhao: "Go to the garden to play, and I will talk to your sister."

Just as Zhang Yunzhao was about to leave, he said: "It's been a long time since I saw Little Brother Shen, when will I go to see him" to show him my martial arts.

Li hesitated and said to Zhang Yunzhao, "Wait, everyone has been very busy these days."

Zhang Yunzhao pouted: "Just let people take me to his house for fun, what's the matter?"

Li said: "Go and tell your father, he will send someone to send you there if he agrees." He won't agree! But you won't blame me. Zhang Yunzhao didn't know the details, smiled and nodded, and ran away after saluting, naturally eating closed doors with his father.

Zhang Yunjin sat next to Li, and asked with a little embarrassment: "Why did my mother find me?" The marriage of the two families has been discussed for most of the time. She thought that Li asked her to ask questions about marriage or dowry.

Li motioned everyone around him to exit the door, and then whispered to Zhang Yunzheng, "I got Xin'er. The emperor didn't want us to marry the Shen family... He wanted to point the five princesses to the third son of Shen..."

The smile that appeared on Zhang Yunjin's face immediately disappeared, and she looked at Li in horror.

Li hurriedly comforted: "Don't be afraid, your father said, this is the emperor... uh... can't understand our family... there shouldn't be anything else..."

Zhang Yunjin stammered and asked: "Then...Five princesses..."

The Li family forgot that, and hurriedly said: "The marriage has not been officially given, it was just a test, and the Shen family naturally declined it."

Zhang Yunjin took a sigh of relief, lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "Will there be anything in his house..."

Li understood that she was asking the third son of Shen, and said in a low voice: "It shouldn’t be, your father said, Zhenbeihou’s letter wrote a good multilateral pass. Now that the border is unstable, the emperor will not condemn the Shen family. ."

Zhang Yunjin's tears came to her eyes at this time, and she suddenly understood the sadness that people often say that good things become empty, and the flowers on the sleeves in front of her became blurred spots.

Li sighed: "Your father said, wait a moment."

Zhang Yunjin could hardly speak, but knew that she had to express her opinion at this time, and reluctantly said: "Daughter listens to father." This means that she wants to wait too.

Li sighed again: "I'm just afraid that I will delay you."

Zhang Yunjin choked: "Daughter is willing to guard her parents and not marry."

Li said hurriedly: "You can't say that. As soon as you were born, I will prepare a dowry for you. You are my only daughter. You must marry gracefully in the future..."

Zhang Yunjin cried and threw herself into Li's arms: "Mother, I really won't marry! Don't marry!" Since the emperor disagrees, even if Shen Zhuo refuses to marry, Zhang and Shen's family will not be able to get married in the future!

Li patted Zhang Yunjin on the back and whispered: "Don't be afraid, your father said wait, but it's not impossible yet..."

But Zhang Yunjin couldn't hear it anymore. She cried loudly, her eyes were swollen and she was helped back to her boudoir. She didn't think about eating or drinking that night, and she became helpless and bedridden the next day.

Li was frightened and comforted Zhang Yunjin painfully for a long time. Seeing that she was still bleak and not too lazy to speak, he hurriedly went to level Yuanhou.

When Ping Yuan heard this, he smiled bitterly: "It seems that she has taken care of that little brat."

Li sighed: "I can't blame her, she has talked about marriage, she agreed at the beginning, and naturally put it in her heart. Now it is not possible, she can't think about it anymore."

Ping Yuanhou turned Yuqiu for a moment, and said, "You invite Miss Shen over there to talk to her."

In Zhenbeihou's Mansion, Yang's received the letter from Zhenbeihou, and he is also angry. She stood up in the shadow of Dad Qian, and only said anything to the old lady, there was no one by her side.

"Mother, why does the emperor take care of this noisy business and keep the ministers from having children and family"

Since the old lady knew that Shen Jian and the others had something to do, she often kept silent. Shen Zhuo asked Shen Wen to go to the temple. Looking at Shen Wen's delicate and innocent attitude, I was even more impressed that the children in this house were not simple. I didn't know how to toss it, so I just kept it from my parents.

The old lady sighed, "He is scared."

Yang asked inexplicably: "He is the emperor, what is he afraid of?"

The old lady whispered: "We have soldiers in our house, and they have money in their house. If they are together..."

The Yang suddenly nodded and said: "Oh, he is afraid that we will rebel. But he still doesn't know that the temperament of Lord Hou is the most loyal, how could he be rebellious?"

The old lady used to agree with Yang's words completely, but now she really thinks that the emperor is right-if the two houses were to work together, it would be incredible. And now it seems that they should have been united, otherwise Shen Wen would not go to the temple. When a girl went to the temple, she must not be able to go anywhere. Shen Wen is going to go for such a long time, it must be a long journey. If you want to leave the temple, where the money will come from is naturally handled by Shen Zhuo, who made this suggestion. Shen Zhuo is the future son-in-law of the wealthy Pingyuan Hou Mansion. Isn’t the source of the money obvious?

Although the old lady's guess was not entirely correct, she was completely correct in her conclusion that the juniors in the two houses had colluded.

The old lady felt a little guilty towards the emperor in her heart, and then sighed: "Of course, Lord Hou won't go against it..." But his children had different intentions! But this is also forced by the prince, otherwise, who doesn't want to live a regular life, the old lady has always been partial to the children, and feels that it is natural for the children to want to protect this family. Anyway, inaction is a death. Just let them work hard and replace the three princes as princes. It’s not a rebellion.

Yang said angrily: "I think the prince is playing tricks! Maybe he wants to marry Zhang's daughter!"

Regarding Yang's wild speculation, the old lady was not good at saying anything, so she sighed again: "In any case, the relationship between the two families can't be broken. Didn't Hou Ye say to wait first, then let's wait first."

Someone outside said: "A letter from Pingyuan Houfu."

Yang hurriedly said, "Send in."

One of Yang’s maid sent the letter, and Yang opened it, and after reading it, handed it to the old lady and said, “It’s over there that Xiang'er is going to play tomorrow.”

Although the old lady was a bit dissatisfied with Yang who read the letter first and did not hand it to the elders, she seldom complains now, and nodded and said, "It seems that I want her to enlighten Miss Zhang and let someone give it away. Xianger, go."

Yang frowned: "The emperor is so mixed up, Saburo can't go to send it."

The old lady said: "Let Laoguan send it off, Xianger should be fine." People who usually ride horses and dance spears.

Shen Zhuo was not too surprised to know that the emperor did not want the two families to get married. The emperor's fear was really understandable. He was not too uncomfortable. According to Shen Wen's estimation, the world would be in chaos in three or four years. At that time, those who fought in wars and those who used tricks used tricks. After that, marriage should be more practical.

When Shen Xiang came to the study to find him angrily, he was still a little surprised: "What's the matter with you?"

Shen Xiang glared at him and said, "I'm going to see Sister Zhang's, why don't you find me?"

Shen Zhuo blinked and finally understood. He smiled and said, "Here is what I want." After speaking, he found "The Art of War by Sun Tzu" on the bookshelf, handed it to Shen Xiang, and said, "You give this to her. Well, I said a long time ago that our military commander’s family needs to read military books..."

Shen Xiang looked at Shen Zhuo's relaxed expression and asked angrily: "You just don't care!"

Shen Zhuo puzzled: "Why don't you care"

Shen Xiang anxious: "The marriage can't be done!"

Shen Zhuo smiled: "Oh..." Then he thought that he couldn't talk more to this straight-tempered sister, and could only say: "Father...it's not impossible...Anyway, in my heart, this marriage has already been decided."

Shen Xiang only then took the book, snorted, and left.

When Shen Xiang arrived at Pingyuan Hou Mansion, he went to see Li first. Li looked sad and whispered to Shen Xiang, "Miss Six has been sick for a few days."

Shen Xiang was shocked: "What disease is it?"

Li sighed: "Go and see her, and persuade her." She asked Shen Xiang to see Zhang Yunjin, but she didn't follow it, lest the two juniors could not talk about themselves.

Shen Xiang brought Spring Green to Zhang Yunjin's yard, and saw that the maid was solemn, not even whispering, and the yard was so quiet that the sound of falling leaves could be heard. It's the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, which makes people feel even more desolate.

Shen Xiang hurried into the room, and the maid in the room came over and whispered: "Our lady is in poor health and can't get up. Please forgive me, Miss Shen."

Shen Xiang said that it was all right. The maid drew on the curtain, Shen Xiang entered the inner room, and Chunlu stayed outside.

Seeing Shen Xiang coming in, Zhang Yunjin leaned forward with her elbow. Shen Xiang hurriedly went over to the bed and added a pillow behind her. Then she sat on the edge of the bed.

When Shen Xiang saw Zhang Yunjin’s face was yellowish and thin, her cheekbones were prominent, and his eyes were blue and black circles, she thought of seeing Shen Zhuo’s unconcerned look in the mansion just now, and Shen Xiang cried all of a sudden and pulled Zhang Yunjin’s. The hand said: "Why are you so **** yourself"

Zhang Yunjin also cried: "Sister, our girl...so fate..."

Shen Xiang thought of the several girls around him. In the past few years, his marriage was hanging in a daze. The five princesses became a monk, and Shen Wen and Su Wanniang went to the temple. Now Zhang Yunjin’s illness became like this, and he cried even harder. While taking out the book from his arms and handing it to Zhang Yunjin, he said, "This is what my third brother picked for you, that guy..." Shen Xiang didn't dare to say that he was not sad at all when he looked at him, and then said: "There is not a man. good stuff!"

Zhang Yunjin took the book while crying, wiped away her tears and saw that it turned out to be "The Art of War", which was stunned. Shen Xiang said: "Do you remember the first time you went to our house in that pavilion?"

Zhang Yunjin's tears flowed again, but there was a slight smile on his face: "Remember." At that time, Shen Zhuo was playing tricks and mentioned "The Art of War". It seems that Shen Zhuo also remembers.

Shen Xiang hummed: "My third brother is not sick! He said that in his heart this marriage has been decided."

Zhang Yunjin's tears suddenly disappeared, and her eyes widened-it turns out that she is so sad because she has no faith. He said "it's already set", but it won't change. It seems that I am so sad because my heart is not firm!

Shen Xiang looked at Zhang Yunjin: "You see you made yourself like this, thanks!"

Zhang Yunjin chuckled, but then cried again, then laughed again, making Shen Xiang cry and laugh with her for a while, before Zhang Yunjin calmed down. She struggled to sit up and said, "Let them come in and change my clothes. You can sit outside for a while, and I will come out to meet you."

Shen Xiang pushed Zhang Yunjin back to his pillow: "You are so polite, I finally come here and talk to you for a while. I will tell you about my third brother's stinky things. Of the three brothers, I hate him the most. He has been fighting and quarreling with me since he was a child, but he has often bullied younger siblings than him. You must give us revenge in the future. It is best to let him kneel and do a washboard or something..."

Zhang Yunjin covered her mouth and laughed, her dry face regained blood.

Shen Xiang persuaded Zhang Yunjin, but when he returned home, he looked unhappy. The emperor didn't want Zhenbeihou Mansion and Heping Yuanhou Mansion to get married, obviously because he was afraid that Zhenbeihou Mansion would be stronger, so the three princes originally said that he wanted to marry him, it would be empty talk. But it was said outside that he was interested in Miss Shen. If he talks about relatives, isn’t he just slapping him in the face? Shen Xiang thinks that it’s to his friends, and he can’t be so unrighteous. What's more, for a while, Shen Xiang also wants to let himself be like Zhang Yunjin. Depressed, but by nature, she always holds the last conviction: she is like her father and brother, going to the border guard, and relying on this support if she doesn't marry all her life, she is practicing martial arts desperately and not letting herself slip into sorrow.

So soon, Shen Xiang changed his mind, thinking that Shen Wen and Su Wanniang had been to the temple for more than a month, and how he should go to see him. Shen Xiang decided to tell the Yang family to prepare something for Shen Wen and the others. Give it over.

She didn't know that Shen Wen, who she was thinking about at this time, definitely didn't want her to visit.

Shen Wen's current riding skills can easily drive a donkey or mule to trot in the wild, but if there are migrants around or close to a town, Zhang Yunzheng will not let her come out at night. Only in the countryside with few people around, Zhang Yunzheng would run with her for half an hour, and then the two of them slowly walked the animals back to the camp.

Zhang Yunzheng was always thinking about the scene he saw. He couldn't hold back anymore. After making sure that no one was around, he asked Shen Wen: "You...that...um..."

Shen Wen waited for a long time, not knowing what Zhang Yunzheng was going to say, and asked: "What are you going to ask?"

Zhang Yunzheng coughed and asked: "After you take revenge, you will leave... Uh... will you become a fairy?"

Shen Wen laughed out loud: "What did you say!"

Zhang Yunzheng didn't laugh, "That's right, you said that you are... what... come back for revenge, if you fulfill your wish, will that... soar?"

Shen Wen chuckled: "I'm not a cultivator, how can I ascend?"

Zhang Yunzheng asked: "Then you will... continue... uh... be a human"

Shen Wen stared at Zhang Yunzheng fiercely: "What do you mean by being a human! I am a human! The soul has entered the body, am I not a human being, can't you see me!"

Zhang Yunzheng slammed his lips: "I didn't say that you are not a human anymore. I am asking if you will still be a human after revenge!"

Shen Wen became angry: "You are not human anymore!"

Zhang Yunzheng rarely explained: "I mean, you won't leave."

Shen Wen understood, and cast his lip: "Don't you say I will become a ghost again?"

Zhang Yunzheng hurriedly changed his words: "Uh, I mean you won't leave your house, right"

Shen Wenbai glanced at him: "Where will I go...Of course, unless..." I am married...

Zhang Yunzheng cleared his throat: "You are so young, don't think about those things!"

Shen Wen was also ashamed to turn away his face immediately, and said: "What do I think about! You tell me!"

Zhang Yunzheng swallowed and hurriedly changed the subject: "While you were there... um... how was your life?" Then, he felt that he was asking nonsense and almost slapped himself in the face.

For the first time Shen Wen was able to talk about his experience with others, and didn't feel that Zhang Yunzheng had offended him, and said: "Actually, if I weren't just thinking about revenge, I can't say it's bad. Go where you want to go..."

Zhang Yunzheng is a little curious: "Do you need money?"

Shen Wen smiled: "No need. Besides, our family is dead, and no one has burned any money..."

Zhang Yunzheng's heart tensed, and he stammered: "I... why didn't I stay here?"

Shen Wen thought about it seriously, and said, "Because you tried your best, so you have no guilt."

Zhang Yunzheng imagined: "But I didn't take revenge, I should want to stay."

Shen Wen thoughtfully said: "Death is not an end, but another form of life. Over there, everyone thinks differently."

Zhang Yunzheng asked: "What do they think?"

Shen Wen slowly shook his head and said, "I don't want to know."

Zhang Yunzheng asked: "Why?"

Shen Wen turned to look at him: "Because I have too deep resentment and guilt, I don't want to know other thoughts. I am afraid that if I know, I will feel that what happened in that life is not so important."

Zhang Yunzheng was silent for a moment, and said, "You are so timid! I would like to know that if it really seems unimportant, then there must be more important."

Shen Wen was in a trance for a moment: Did he really miss something... Then he continued: "Look, so you didn't stay. But I don't regret that I'm back! Fortunately, I didn't touch those thoughts."

Zhang Yunzheng immediately said: "Of course, it's better to come back, otherwise we won't see each other. Now we know each other, will we always know each other in the future"

Shen Wen said with emotion: "Really, if you know it now, you will know it on the other side in the future. From now on to eternity, you will have the fate of acquaintance..."

Zhang Yunzheng said with satisfaction: "This is almost the same. You have waited for a thousand years to get to know me. You are very lucky. It's a big blessing, don't forget!"

Shen Wen looked at Zhang Yunzheng: "Have you learned his arrogance after staying with Ji Wenzhao for too long"

Zhang Yunzheng raised his chin: "Remember what it means to learn, here or on the other side, you have to treat me as a friend! Don't get there anymore and you don't need money, so you will turn your face away from you!

Shen Wen giggled and said coquettishly: "What are you talking about! Tell me like a liar who only recognizes money, am I that kind of person?"

Although Zhang Yunzheng scolded Shen Wen countless times in the past, the little liar, but at this moment, Zhang Yunzheng only mumbled: "It's not that good..." Hastily retired, and Shen Wen returned to the camp. Both were in a good mood.
