Solitary pet

Chapter 16

As soon as Shen Hao came back, he dealt with the backlog of business affairs for a day. He was extremely strict with himself. The emperor ordered him to take charge of the affairs of the three states, and he never slacked off.

After finishing work, it was Haishi, Pei Liang came into the room with supper, Shen Hao glanced at the food on the table, and didn't move his chopsticks.

Pei Liang had a headache, their master had a bad taste, and he didn't eat this or that. When he first arrived in Shenghu, he didn't have time to find a chef, so he could only cook this kind of dishes.

"Master, you can eat as much as you want, that's all Shenghu's dishes are, and I'll find another cook tomorrow."

Shen Hao said: "I see that Wei's food is pretty good."

Pei Liang murmured: Why do you still refuse other people's persuasion if you think it's good?Must do.Thinking like this in his heart, but he didn't dare to express it, he bent his waist like a dog's leg, and asked cautiously: "Master, why don't you stay at Wei's house for dinner? Miss Wei is here, so you can take a second look."

Shen Hao raised his eyebrows, his face turned cold: "Who wants to look at her? I just went to Weifu to inquire about it."

Pei Liang asked: "Then what did the prince find out?"

Shen Hao got up, walked to the door with his hands behind his back, with a serious expression, and looked up at the moon.

The faint moonlight cast shadows on his face, and his angular features looked even more handsome.His thin lips were drawn into a line, he pondered for a long time, and then replied: "I met her in the garden today, and I found—"

Pei Liang tilted his head: "What did you find?"

"Although she looks petite, she has round buttocks. The concubine mother said that big buttocks are good for giving birth, and she will definitely be able to give birth in the future."

Pei Liang realized that his lord was thinking too far, so he kindly reminded him: "My lord, take your time in everything, you can't eat hot buns in a hurry."

Shen Hao frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied with Pei Liang's questioning. "Will she disagree?"

Pei Liang was speechless.The prince has lived for 28 years and has never eaten meat. Naturally, he doesn't know how to ferment the relationship between a man and a woman. He has to be patient and guide him. If something goes wrong and scares Miss Wei away, it will be bad.

"My lord, haste makes waste. You must first please Miss Wei."

Shen Hao turned his head and said sullenly: "This king has his own measure."

When the grandma told He Sheng about the matter, He Sheng originally wanted to refuse, but the grandma begged for a long time, and she also agreed with Wei Lin.

She was the one who led the way at that time, since Master Wei and Grandma were so worried about offending Shen Hao, it was only natural for her to send her under the fence, swallow her breath and apologize and help.

Although, even she herself didn't know why she had to apologize.

He Sheng specially asked Wei Lin to let her be with him.When Wei Lin heard that he was going on an outing, he immediately burst into joy.

Shen Hao turned down all the entertainment and rode over.He didn't know that He Sheng was coming back, so he only brought Pei Liang with him.

When they arrived at the destination, among the group of people gathered under the willow tree, they were taken aback when they saw He Sheng wearing a smoky purple veiled hat.

She wore a moonlight jacket and skirt, lowered her head and chatted with the people around her, and her body trembled when she laughed, like a flower blooming on a branch, delicate and agile.

He looked at her like a long-awaited traveler, eager to taste the rain.

He Sheng noticed Shen Hao who was leading a horse in the distance. He was walking with long legs, and every step was graceful and comfortable. The wind blew over his shoulders, and his clothes flew up.

He Sheng moved back and quietly hid behind Wei Lin, just blocking Shen Hao's sight.

Wei Youguang came forward to say hello, "My lord, today is a beautiful day, suitable for outings. Wei took his niece and daughter out together, don't you mind?"

In the area of ​​Suzhou and Hangzhou, the folk customs are cheerful, women are free to go out, and there are not so many etiquette shackles in the north.

Shen Hao nodded and bowed: "It's a great honor for Shen to have two ladies traveling together. One more thing, Mr. Wei doesn't need to call you nobleman anymore, just call me Shen Hao."

Wei Youguang laughed, "Okay, Mr. Shen."

The place they chose has mountains and water, and a small plain is vacated beside the blue lake. Looking up along the horizon, the place halfway up the mountain is full of peach blossoms. It is early summer, and the pink petals that have fallen all over the place are mixed with the wind. , Occasionally blown into the lake, embellishing the tranquil lake.

Sit on the ground, with Guqin, wine and poem scrolls in the middle.Wei Youguang poured wine and said respectfully: "Since it's an outing, I should return home after enjoying myself, and Wei will play "Jiu Ming"."

Shen Hao took the wine and made a gesture of invitation, Wei Youguang waved his sleeves and played the piano.

He Sheng listened to the qin, although he couldn't appreciate the subtlety of it, he followed Wei Lin and shook his head to express his appreciation to the tune.

After the song was over, Shen Hao secretly looked at He Sheng, and saw that she was "fascinated" by the lingering sounds, so he also asked for the piano, and prepared to play a difficult piece of "Ode".

Today he is wearing a gauze dress, with a jade crown on his hair, and playing the piano with his head bowed. He is as arrogant as a fairy. People around him can't look away for a long time, and their ears and eyes are sinking at the same time.

At the end of the song, Shen Hao was very satisfied with his performance, glanced at He Sheng out of the corner of his eye, and caught a glimpse of her covering her mouth and yawning, with a sleepy look on her face.

Shen Hao froze.

He stretched out his hand to pick up the poem volume, and said to Wei Youguang: "Master Wei, it's a beautiful day, let's compose poems?"

Wei Youguang responded quickly, and immediately threw himself into the role of a poet.

Shen Hao started and wrote the first seven-character quatrain, Wei Youguang praised it again and again.

Shen Hao swept towards He Sheng, this time, the sleepiness on her face was replaced by dull eyes.

The corner of Shen Hao's mouth twitched, he quickly covered up his frustration, and smiled at Wei Youguang: "Master Wei is full of ideas, I think the two ladies in the house are also full of talents, why don't you compose poems together?"

When she finished writing the poem, he would praise her severely, which must have made her happy too.

Wei Youguang is full of confidence. Although Wei Lin has a lively temper, he has been taught by a female teacher since he was a child, and writing a poem is a piece of cake.As for He Sheng, she is a girl from a big mansion, she is definitely no worse than Wei Lin.

Wei Lin soon had a poem.

When it was He Sheng's turn, she was wandering and didn't hear what Shen Hao said just now.Suddenly seeing everyone looking at her together, she was startled, a little at a loss.

Wei Lin patted her secretly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It's your turn to compose poetry."

poetry?She won't!
He Sheng said awkwardly: "I don't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting." She glanced at Wei Youguang, saw that he was trying to imply something, and added: "But Mr. Shen's qin and poems are excellent."

Shen Hao raised his eyebrows, this obviously perfunctory flattery was heard in his ears, but it was not uncomfortable.It's just a little annoyed, I knew she didn't understand poetry, so I shouldn't have brought it up, but now it's self-defeating, it's embarrassing.

In order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere, Wei Youguang said: "The lakeside here is rich in perch, why don't we go fishing?"

Wei Lin pouted, "Fishing is boring."

Immediately he was struck by Wei Youguang's sharp eyes.
