Yanlouchun

The wife of Li Guogong's mansion, that is, Li Zhile's mother - Wen Shuhua.

The Empress Dowager attached great importance to this matter, and did not directly bring Wen Shuhua into the palace. After suing Li Guogong Li Linyuan, Li Linyuan told Wen Shuhua.

"Be careful, maybe His Majesty will come." Li Linyuan warned his wife.

Wen Shuhua took a deep breath and said worriedly, "It's really troublesome to entrust me with such an important matter!"

Li Linyuan "hush", "Don't talk nonsense."

"You tell Zhile to be more careful these days, not to be too indulgent, so as not to be watched by others." Li Linyuan added.

Wen Shuhua nodded, "Okay, I got it, I'll look for some bigger courtyards, and make bigger ones."

Li Linyuan nodded, "The Empress Dowager and Your Majesty love the Eldest Princess very much, and the dignity and etiquette that should be given to the Eldest Princess cannot be omitted."

"Then what do the eldest princess like?" Wen Shuhua asked, her memory of Jing and the eldest princess was 20 years ago.

Li Linyuan shook his head, "How could I know, it's even more impossible for me to know something that your female relatives don't know."

Wen Shuhua sighed, "The eldest princess and her relatives were 20 years ago, who can remember."

"You ask Zhile to enter the palace to inquire with the empress dowager. There is a child on the left and right. It's okay for her to ask." Li Linyuan suggested.

"She shouldn't feel at ease after she gets married, so she can be used at this time." When Li Zhile was mentioned, Wen Shuhua smiled helplessly.

The husband and wife have few children, one son and one daughter. The son is mature and stable, and he will not act like a baby and get close to them.

The daughter is delicate and cute, mischievous and lively, and everyone usually spoils her.

"It's true, Zhile should be married now, as if she was playing with the rattle in front of my lap yesterday." Speaking of Li Zhile, Li Linyuan couldn't help laughing.

"I originally thought that the relationship between Hanshu and Zhile should be closer than other people. Baoting and I are close friends in the boudoir, and we have a very good friendship. If Hanshu and Zhile can succeed, I can rest assured. It's gone." Wen Shuhua sighed again, "It's a pity that Hanshu only regards Zhile as his younger sister, and Zhile and Hanshu have not developed any love for men and women since they were young."

"Is she closely related to Shen Zhiyun, son of the Shen family?" Li Linyuan asked.

Mentioning this, Wen Shuhua couldn't help but have a headache, "Don't talk about the Shen family, he and Han Shu fought in the court a while ago, and both went to jail, but Bao Ting scolded the Shen family for a long time, if Zhile is sincere It belongs to the Shen family, how do you tell me to face Bao Ting."

Wen Shuhua rubbed her temples.

Li Linyuan didn't care much, "It's just a court dispute, and there is no blood feud. Then Shen Zhiyun is also doing things according to Yang Shilin's thoughts. If Zhile can marry him, isn't Shen Zhiyun from the Duke's Mansion? The empress dowager uses it, and the empress dowager is also very optimistic about this son of the Shen family."

"Besides, Shen Zhiyun just lost his mother, and after Zhile passed away, there was no dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so he was at ease." Li Linyuan said.

Wen Shuhua didn't like to hear this, "Stop talking, isn't it the only men in his Shen family who have no wives in the capital, and they put Han Shu in prison, so blood feud must be seen?"

Li Linyuan smiled and did not refute, anyway, he did not object to Shen Jiazi and Zhile.

"My lord, there is a box of clothes, a box of files, a box of medicines, and a box of..." Lan Yu counted Shen Zhiyun's things when he left Beijing this time, and the officials will leave for the south tomorrow.

"That's enough for Lan Yu. When we get to the place, there is nothing in the magistrate's house. With so much, others will think that I am playing an official role." Shen Zhiyun sat beside him with his legs crossed, watching Lan Yu turn out the things and count them again .

"By the way, I almost forgot." Lan Yu went out and came in again, holding an invitation card in her hand.

"Huh?" Shen Zhiyun took the post.

"The lady of the country sent someone to send it." Lan Yu said.

Shen Zhiyun was curious as he opened the invitation, "Mrs. Wen? She has such a good relationship with Mrs. Chaoyang. Gu Hanshu was imprisoned for three days a while ago. Can you invite me to a banquet now?"

"The person who sent the post said it was the empress dowager who was the host." Lan Yu said.

"Empress Dowager?" Shen Zhiyun was surprised.

Lan Yu nodded, "I heard that famous and respectable families in the capital have been invited."

Shen Zhiyun looked at the four characters "Chunsheng Baiyuan" on the invitation card and sighed, "This is a big scene."

"That's right, Chunsheng Baiyuan hasn't booked the whole show for many years. Such a big villa can almost catch up with the Royal Courtyard." Lan Yu dumped the things in the box.

"I see that the banquet was originally for the royal family." Shen Zhiyun closed the invitation and put it on the table, then asked, "How many invitations did you send?"

Lan Yu thought for a while and said, "Two copies, and the master has one more."

Logically speaking, it should be a share of the family, but Shen Zhiyun and Shen Pingshan are high in the court, so it is more important to send them separately.

"Your servant is thinking that the young master will leave tomorrow, so I won't be able to go to the banquet, and I haven't prepared anything." Lan Yu closed the box and locked it.

"We still have to prepare." Shen Zhiyun said.

"Huh? For whom?" Lan Yu asked.

"Send this invitation to Shou'an Hall, and let the old lady go and see it for me, and you follow along, and bring Jiang Ruyun." Shen Zhiyun said.

The banquet was probably hosted by Jing and Elder Princess, it was time for Jiang Ruyun to meet the person she would rely on in the palace.

"You and the old lady say that Jiang Ruyun is my aunt. If you want to go out to meet the world, I agree. When you go to the banquet and the servant writes the roster, you say she is my distant cousin. .” Shen Zhiyun told Lan Yu.

Lan Yu knew that Shen Zhiyun wanted to send Jiang Ruyun to the palace, but now that she has no name or role, there is no reason to let Jiang Ruyun go to such a big banquet alone, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the host.Let the old lady take it with you, and you will be famous and have a share.

"Okay." Lan Yu walked to the door and called out to two servants.

"You guys, carry these boxes to the carriage that will be used tomorrow." Lan Yu directed these people, and the boxes in Shen Zhiyun's room were moved away in a short time.

Shen Zhiyun handed the invitation on the table to Lan Yu to keep it away.

"My lord." Bai Bian just came back from the outside at this time, and he went to win Shen Zhiyun's trust.

After Bai Bian closed the door, Shen Zhiyun opened his mouth and asked, "Have you got the letter?"

"Here it is." Bai Bian took out a piece of paper from the kit at his waist.

Shen Zhiyun took the note and unfolded it to smooth it out.

"You told Yan Nan not to follow me out of Beijing." Shen Zhiyun crushed the note with internal force after reading it.

"Fang Yu has arrived in Hua County?" Bai Bian asked.

Fang Yu is Shen Zhiyun's subordinate, and the previous negotiations with Liang Zhao were all Fang Yu's messengers.

So he didn't return to Beijing at the border. After the matter of Hanhai was settled, Shen Zhiyun sent a letter to Fang Yu, asking him to go to Hua County to find out the truth.

"En." Shen Zhiyun nodded.

"My teacher said that one side of water and soil is one side's power. Go to the county to investigate and deal with it. If you really encounter any troubles, it is difficult to communicate with the Zhizhou if you are in a remote place with inconvenient vehicles and horses."

Lan Yu was a little worried when she heard this, and told Bai Bian, "Don't worry about having fun, take good care of your son."

Bai Bian said in disbelief, "Since when have I cared about having fun? I'm going to do big things with you this time!"

Lan Yu smiled, "It's the young master who is going to take care of the young master. When did you take care of the young master?"

When Shen Zhiyun heard the two quarreling, the corners of his mouth curved up unconsciously.

"Lan Yu." Shen Zhiyun hasn't finished explaining about Chunsheng Baiyuan.

She walked to the cabinet and took out a child's red bracelet from a box on the lower floor.

"When you take Jiang Ruyun to Chunsheng Baiyuan, secretly contact Princess Jinghe and give this thing to her."

Lan Yu took the red bracelet and wrapped it in a handkerchief.

"You told the eldest princess that Jiang Ruyun's entry into the palace will be left to her," Shen Zhiyun said.

"That's it? What if the eldest princess doesn't want to?" Lan Yu asked, that is Jinghe eldest princess who is favored by the empress dowager and the emperor. Restraint, what to do if the young master is exposed.

Shen Zhiyun nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, she can understand." After a pause, "If she doesn't understand this truth, she will be in vain for the crime of pretending to be scarred before entering the palace."

"Okay, please don't worry if the son is handed over to the slave."

"Also." Shen Zhiyun added, "No matter what the eldest princess wants to ask from you, you don't have to say it. Give her this bracelet and tell her about Jiang Ruyun, and you don't need to say anything else."

"Yes, son." Lan Yu replied.

Shen Zhiyun reckoned that Song Qiong probably wanted to meet him at this banquet, but it was a pity that she had just returned to the palace, and there was no one under her command, so it was difficult to inquire about him because she didn't know that he would leave Beijing tomorrow. Frustrated.

But it doesn't matter, she was just thinking about how to deliver a letter to Song Qiong, and now the opportunity is in front of her, so it's useless.

In the early morning of the second day, many officials who went south to investigate gathered at the gate of the city. The carriages stopped one after another, and soldiers from the Peking University Camp were also arranged to follow, ensuring the safety of all adults going south.

As for the money allocated, it was another team, escorted by soldiers from the Hussar Battalion along the official road, and did not go with Shen Zhiyun and his party.

But Beidaying is Zhang Peng's place, and it is a big deal to escort the court officials, and he is also waiting for the adults to get on the bus at the gate of the city.

Shen Zhiyun came early, and Zhang Peng had few people now, so he walked over and snorted coldly in front of Shen Zhiyun.

Shen Zhiyun looked at Zhang Peng in wonder, "Master Zhang? What did I do to offend you?"

Zhang Peng glanced at Shen Zhiyun sharply, and sneered, "Master Shen is such a noble man who forgets things too much, my brother spent many days in prison for nothing."

He thought he could see Shen Zhiyun's uncontrollable expression, but Shen Zhiyun still looked puzzled, "Master Zhang, what are you talking about? You came to me that day, and I kindly helped you, saying that I transferred Jiang Yujin out of the capital." , I did what I said, but you didn't help me at all with Han Hai."

What Shen Zhiyun said so generously made Zhang Peng feel a little guilty for some reason.

Sure enough, civil officials are hateful, civil officials are hateful!

A few words made him lose his confidence.

Zhang Peng snorted again, "Don't try to drag me in, Guan Zhong has come out of Dali Temple, and you still named Jiang Yujin to follow you to investigate the school field, that is to say, no matter whether I ask you or not, you will recommend it to His Majesty." Jiang Yujin, I almost fell into your trap, and I owe you a favor for nothing."

I'm really organized, Zhang Peng sighed.

Shen Zhiyun laughed, "Master Zhang, I really need a person who is familiar with the law for this investigation. Originally, the cabinet can arrange it, but I think I promised you before. Although Guan Zhong was released, you are not in Hanhai. Help me with one thing, but I am afraid that you will feel that I have created a gap between you and me, so I recommended Jiang Yujin again."

Before Zhang Peng understood Shen Zhiyun's reasoning, Shen Zhiyun sighed deeply again, and looked at Zhang Peng faintly, "I would like to ask, did Master Zhang agree to present the memorial to His Majesty on the opening of the mutual market for me?" Why? Why have I waited for so many days without any news."

"That's because..." Zhang Peng stopped talking at the beginning.

That's because he decided to take refuge in Gu Hanshu.

"Huh? Because of what, Mr. Zhang?" Shen Zhiyun seemed puzzled.

"There's no reason, it's because I broke my promise." Zhang Peng could only admit that he was unlucky and ended up breaking his promise.

Shen Zhiyun pretended to be melancholy, "Hey, Mr. Zhang, you don't know that I recommended Jiang Yujin because of what I promised you before, but Yang Shoufu didn't want me to recommend this person, and he was criticized a lot by Shoufu."

Shen Zhiyun looked worried, and she opened her mouth to come. She didn't believe that Zhang Peng would ask Yang Shilin specifically if he scolded her.

Zhang Peng was a little speechless, unable to tell the truth of Shen Zhiyun's words, and felt a little guilty in his heart.

Shen Zhiyun shook his head, "Forget it, Mr. Zhang, His Majesty has already dispatched troops. This matter has passed like this. I don't want to go into it further, and you don't want to be separated from me again."

These words are generous, as if Zhang Peng first broke his trust with Shen Zhiyun, and finally Shen Zhiyun had to beg Zhang Peng to forgive him.

Zhang Peng was about to speak, but Shen Zhiyun interrupted him, "That's it, Mr. Zhang, I got up early this morning, and I feel a little dizzy right now, like getting in the car to rest for a while."

Having said that, can Zhang Peng stop her?Of course it can't.

When Shen Zhiyun got into the carriage, Zhang Peng stood at the gate of the city, touching the hilt of the sword with his big rough hand, took a deep breath, and thought about it in his heart, did I really break my promise and Shen Zhiyun didn't trick me?
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty and guilty, and he had to be punished by Yang Shilin. Yang Shilin was like a dormant brown bear in the court, and he kept his face on weekdays. If Yang Shilin blamed him, then Shen Zhiyun must be very difficult to deal with. .

The more he thought about it, the more disturbed he became, Zhang Peng couldn't help sighing again.

Damn, hateful civil servants!
The adults who followed the investigation arrived at the gate of the city one after another. Seeing that Shen Zhiyun's carriage had stopped there, they secretly said that it was not good, and asked Mr. Cifu to wait for them, and they would be blamed.

When Deng Changchun came, he greeted Shen Zhiyun and got on his carriage.

Jiang Yujin was late, and hurried into Shen Zhiyun's carriage when he arrived, without saying hello to other officials.

Shen Zhiyun told Shuo before that he wanted to hide and ask Mr. Jiang about the field law on the road, so he specially arranged for him to be in a carriage.

"Why did you come so late?" Shen Zhiyun was already knocking seeds in the carriage.

Jiang Yujin glanced at her lightly, and said helplessly, "This is not Mr. Zhang Peng seeing him off. I'm afraid that my mother will embarrass his little brother, and he will embarrass me again today."

Shen Zhiyun laughed out loud.
