Chapter 100 Puzzles
Lao Fang stroked his beard and thought about it carefully, and said, "No more, that's all."

"Oh, okay, I see. Thank you, Uncle Fang." Xie Yuan smiled at Lao Fang, picked up the wick of the oil lamp, and the light turned on again, saying:
"Hurry up and go back to rest. You have to get up early to practice tomorrow."

"Hey...yes, it's getting dark. Then I'm leaving." Lao Fang got up from the ground, just as he walked to the door, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head and said:
"Then who are you writing love letters to? ... Let me tell you that you have never seen the world when you are young. There are many good women in the world. You can't just like those dubious ones. Go back to your family I will definitely not agree!"

Xie Yuan looked up at him, with helplessness and bewilderment on his especially immature face... How could he not believe it was a letter from home?

Seeing that Lao Fang is really worried about which woman she likes, and it seems that this is a big deal.

So he finally said: "...Don't worry, Fang Bo, my family has made a marriage contract for me since I was a child. I don't like others, but he is the only one I like!"

When the old Fang heard this, he smiled and said: "Is this right? The orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker are reliable. You are a good child, and you can't let those dubious people bring you broken."

After that, he opened the curtain and went out.

From his words, Xie Yuan heard her mother's worrying feeling, and suddenly looked at the closed curtain, feeling a little dazed.

Then he bowed his head and sent his hand away, looking at the letter paper that was shredded by her, suddenly felt a little sad.Tears just want to fall down.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

That's right, she can write to Shen Liuzhen!Ask Shen Liuzhen to report her safety.First, he supported his dream of becoming a general.Secondly, he is currently studying with the eldest son of the crown prince in the north, so he must not be able to find it along the route of sending the letter.

This is killing two birds with one stone!

Xie Yuan thought of this, with a relaxed smile on his face, picked up the pen, and wrote Shen Liuzhen's name at the beginning of the page...

Then I looked at his name and paused again.

That's not right... She is now in the military camp of the Southern Dynasty, and Shen Liuzhen is in the Eastern Palace of the Northern Dynasty. According to the camp, the two of them are enemies... If she wrote a letter and sent it directly from the military camp of the Southern Dynasty to the Northern Dynasty's It's obviously inappropriate to go to the East Palace, it's not only causing trouble for him, but also for himself.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuan rubbed his forehead with a headache...Looking at the words Shen Liuzhen, he began to think hard.

No, I have to find another way to deliver the letter, go to the city to find a private escort agency, not the way of the military camp.

Moreover, the content of the letter cannot reveal your own information, lest people find out later, and then seize the opportunity to say that they are collaborating with the enemy...

You have to make it clear that she is her, and ask Shen Liuzhen to report the safety of the family for herself?
Hmm... In fact, there is no need to tell me about this matter. If he receives news from him, he will definitely tell his family.

But... Xie Yuan was scratching his head anxiously. To meet these two requirements, how should he write this letter?

It is already very difficult to write an article to be true, but now you have to play charades in the article?It's really not something she's good at...

Xie Yuan began to recall all the details of being with Shen Liuzhen, thinking about some riddles so that he could understand...

Suddenly, Xie Yuan remembered a scene:
……

Under the grape arbor in Xie Mansion Garden, Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen were lying on a bench together, exchanging views and admiring each other's paintings.

Shen Liuzhen sat kneeling beside the stool, while Xie Yuan bent over and leaned on the stool with his elbows.

In front of them, there was a stack of nondescript ink paintings.

Shen Liuzhen pointed to one of his paintings and asked, "Can you tell who this is?"

"I know, Uncle Liu from the small vegetable garden in the west." Xie Yuan lowered his red phoenix eyes, pointed at the man's beard on the paper and said, "Uncle Liu's beard is sparse, didn't you draw three with thin lines?"

"Yes! We have a good understanding. We are indeed my good brothers." Shen Liuzhen said proudly.

……

Xie Yuan, who was holding a pen, had sparkling eyes, changed a piece of paper, and with a smile on his face, began to draw by the light of the oil lamp.

……

……

Today Crown Prince Shi Yutian really has time to visit his son.Shen Liuzhen, the reading companion, also has free time, so he doesn't have to study homework by Wu Lei's side.

So he seized the opportunity and went outside the palace to find the yard that Xie's family had rented for him. After stealing a while, he took some exquisite pastries made by the cook and returned to the palace.

First, I went to find Zong Ai, the constant attendant next to the emperor, gave him a copy, chatted for a while, and said some homely things that could bring us closer, and then returned to the East Palace, standing in the imperial palace with a food box. On the corridor that the prince must pass through when he leaves.

I plan to express my heart to the prince as well.He probably won't eat it, but he still has to give it away.

Shen Liuzhen stood beside the pillar, standing upright, but in fact, because of standing for a long time, his feet were a little tired, so he leaned against the pillar calmly, just waiting.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of dense footsteps, he quickly left the pillar and stood up straight, looking towards the end of the corridor.

Crown Prince Shi Yu Tianzhen walked in front, tall and handsome, dressed in a white robe of Confucian scholars, leading a group of people slowly with a dignified demeanor.

Every time Shen Liuzhen sees the crown prince Shi Yu naive, he will inexplicably feel a sense of kindness and affection.This is a feeling that other Hu people never have, even Han people, it is rare.

Shen Liuzhen couldn't help but put a smile on his face, and kept thinking about why he had such a good impression.

Seems like it's because of his name?Or because of his looks?Or because of his temperament?
Maybe both.Shen Liuzhen couldn't help thinking: Maybe there are such people in the world who are born to win the favor of others.

Shi Yu walked over naively, with a kind smile like a big brother on his face, and when he walked to Shen Liuzhen's side, he really stopped.

"Caomin has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Shen Liuzhen quickly put the food box on the corner of the railing, turned around and saluted the Crown Prince.

"Excuse me, why are you here?" Shi Yu asked softly in an innocent voice.

"Back to His Royal Highness, Cao Min has just returned from leaving the palace. The Xie family sent a cook over and made some exquisite dim sum. I think it's delicious, so I want to share it with His Highness and the emperor's grandson."

Shi Yu smiled innocently and said: "You have a heart, but there are rules in the palace, so you can't eat whatever you want, which is a pity. You can eat with Wu Lei later."

"Yes..." This was expected, and Shen Liuzhen bowed respectfully in response.

"Are you used to living here?" He asked.

"His Royal Highness Xie is concerned. Everything is fine for the grass people. The emperor's grandson is very kind to the grass people. How could he not get used to it?" Shen Liuzhen said with a smile, revealing two sweet dimples.

Shi Yu was naive, and Wu Lei, who followed him to see him off, laughed along with him.Then Shi Yu nodded innocently and walked away.

Shen Liuzhen watched them leave, and then saw Liu Qinbing walking over from the other side with a letter in his hand.
