The year was quickly over, and everything was back on track.

Lu Yunqi did not live up to the promise of that day, since the fifteenth day of the first month, he called Mo Song and Mo Zhu to send some honey fruits and candied fruits to the Shen Mansion every once in a while, sometimes he did not forget to send some food all the way, but in the end he was not good enough to come to the door himself, and every time he waited at the small corner gate very close to Anyuan.

Shen Nanzhi only spoke to Lu Yunqi twice through the door, and each time he took the steaming honey fruit from his hand, but he could only say one or two words and said goodbye in a hurry. Every time Shen Nanzhi felt that the two of them were cheating in private, and there was some shame in addition to the excitement. Or Lu Yunqi said with a big grin: "You and I are masters and apprentices, but what about bringing some food by the way?" ”

Shen Nanzhi's mind was settled, but she had gained a lot of weight in just over a month, she pinched the meat on her stomach, looked at the fruit placed on the table, and felt extremely melancholy.

Another thing is that after the Chinese New Year, Shen Jiading came to the Shen Mansion more frequently.

No matter what the excuse is, he will always run to the Shen Mansion frequently, at the beginning, Shen Nanzhi was still patient to go to Chaoxiju to meet him, but later he only felt more and more bored, and simply said that he was sick.

It's just that Shen Jiading was a little more worried, and sent a lot of good snow swallows, which made Shen Nanzhi unable to bear it.

On this day, taking advantage of Shen Jiading's absence, Shi suddenly called Shen Nanzhi to Chaoxiju.

When she arrived, Shi was kneeling in front of the small Buddha hall in Chaoxiju to worship the Buddha, she leaned in lightly, and was a little surprised: "Mother never paid attention to the matter of worshipping the Buddha before, why did she suddenly pay attention these days?" As he spoke, he knelt down on the futon beside Shi and bowed to the Buddha statue in front of him.

Shen Nanzhi had also gone to the Buddhist temple with Fang Yue before, so he might know more about these things than Shi.

The previous Shi never believed in such gods and ghosts, but Shen Nanzhi felt that if you believe in such a thing, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it, and it will be more comforting to have one more faith, as long as you will not rely on this so-called incense to worship the Buddha, like others, only worship the Buddha and refuse to take medicine.

It's just that now Shi suddenly began to care about this matter of gods and Buddhas, which made Shen Nanzhi feel a little uneasy-she began to rely on the ethereal gods with her thoughts, is it ...... She also had some ...... about her body.

Mother Lian came in and gently helped Shi Shi to stand up from the futon, "Girl, many nobles in the capital have come to the door frequently these days, and Mrs. is praying for the girl's marriage!" ”

Shen Nanzhi's heart was relieved at this time, and he hurriedly got up and helped Shi out of the Buddha Hall together, "Mother, you are really, where do I need you to worry so much about my marriage?" I haven't done it yet, so you don't have to. ”

"Silly child, these days An Xiaowang has come to the door frequently, I am really uneasy in my heart," Shi Shi had already walked to the main room with others, sat down lightly from the carved mahogany Taishi chair, and turned the Buddha beads in his hand, "In the days when you were sick, An Xiaowang Ye even brought his nursing mother with him, and the conversation always revealed the meaning of asking about your kinship, it seems to be ...... I want to propose to you. ”

Shen Nanzhi was slightly stunned, and couldn't help frowning: "Mother, how can such a thing be mentioned by Little Prince An himself?" An and Concubine An have never shown up, and I have heard that she is a person whose eyes are higher than her heart, and I am afraid that this matter is ......"

Shi Shi had already nodded deeply, "That's what worries me. ”

Concubine An is an extremely resourceful woman, otherwise there would not be only their mother and son left in the Nuoda An Palace, otherwise with Shen Jiading's identity as "the same prince", no one would dare to touch him to this day.

She wants to protect Shen Jiading well, and Shen Jiading's wife cannot be Shen Nanzhi.

A gentleman with little real power wants to marry a wife, but he doesn't respect his mother? Shen Nanzhi was only afraid that relying on Shen Jiading's persistent appearance now, he would have a dispute with Concubine An......

Seeing Shen Nanzhi worrying like this, Shi Shi had to sigh softly, "The last time Lord An came here, he told me that there is a new place for this year's Kaichun Hanlin Academy, and it was not easy to arrange it before, and our family can't be too ostentatious when they come to Beijing for the first time, so they only arranged Sifeng and Sicheng. This year, I can arrange for you and Zhixia to go. ”

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi didn't have any other thoughts to think about Concubine An, so he only scratched his head: "Only me and Zhixia?" That Zhiyue and Zhiwei ...... them"

"In the end, there is a difference between the concubines, even if I don't want to treat the two of them harshly," Shi sighed softly, "Look at Zhiyue's cleverness but always thinking about it, only Wei is as cautious as Rong Xiaoniang, these two children are also very well educated, and your eldest brother's yard saves a lot of trouble." ”

"If there is no mother's words and deeds, there will be no peace and security of the two little ladies in the big brother's room, so think about it, it is still the mother's power!" Shen Nanzhi playfully leaned his head on Shi's shoulder socket, like a coquettish little rabbit.

provoked Shi Shi couldn't help laughing, and said angrily to Mother Lian: "Look at this girl!" They are all people who want to be in time, but the longer they get, the more ignorant they become! ”

Shen Nanzhi was not uncomfortable, and stuck to Shi's side with a smile, "Speaking of Zhiyue and Zhiwei, they should also invite a gentleman to come, they are twelve or eleven this year, although their appearance and conduct are all first-class and good, but they are helpless, there is always a Zhixia above, and the mother should also think carefully about the future of the two of them." ”

Shi Shi nodded with a smile, and looked at Shen Nanzhi and raised his eyes slightly: "You are thoughtful, but please ask Mr. to be tired of your eldest brother to do it, and I don't know what happened in the palace these days, he is so busy that he can't touch the ground." ”

"Where is the need to call the big brother to do it? I said that I am also their elder, and if my mother can trust me, I will come to Zhang Luo. Shen Nanzhi blinked, she remembered that a few days ago, Lu Yunqi also said to herself that Hanlin is now in a big official position, and many Mr. Hanlin are idle at home, he is one of the top leaders in Hanlin Academy, and he is naturally responsible for these things.

Shi Shi was transparent, and without waiting for Shen Nanzhi to say more, he already knew it in his heart, and took a deep look at Shen Nanzhi: "I heard that Scholar Lu tasted some desserts and fruits with you these days, and the two of you are so close?" ”

Shen Nanzhi's face turned red: "What is my mother talking nonsense, Lord Lu bought it for Brother Ping, and I know that I also like to eat, so bring me some by the way......"

Shi smiled knowingly: "There is nothing else, but I have eaten all the meat on your face!" ”
