Solitary pet

Chapter 54

He has been independent since he was a child, and he doesn't express his emotions and anger. Although he has thousands of words in his heart, he doesn't know how to express them.It is even more so when she is alone with Concubine De.

As a mother, how can I live without children.I hadn't seen him for many days, so I glanced carefully and saw that the lines between his eyebrows were getting deeper and deeper, presumably working outside must be a lot of hard work.

Can't help but sigh again. "Boy, smile more, don't always keep a straight face."

Shen Hao was born with a cold face, and his expression could be relaxed in private, but as soon as he entered the palace, the dignity and seriousness in his bones emerged, and he couldn't suppress it.

The sage once said of him, "At the age of 28, he is bitter and bitter, just like the old man at 58, wasting this good skin."

Shen Hao stretched his brows intentionally, and asked, "Concubine Mother, is your health better?"

He glanced in a muffled voice, and saw that Concubine De's complexion was ruddy, and there was no sign of illness at all.

Concubine De helped her hair bun, "Don't pretend to be sick, can you come back?"

Shen Hao took a sip of tea. "Mother and concubine don't pretend to be sick, the son should come back."

Concubine De asked him about his situation outside these days, she loves to listen to new things, and being a native of the north, she is very interested in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.Shen Hao deliberately picked out what she liked to hear, and said it sentence by sentence.

After talking for a while, Zhou Pei came to report earlier, saying that he was going to the palace.

Shen Hao got up and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something, he asked Concubine De: "Mother Concubine... During this trip, my son encountered a difficult problem, please ask Mother Concubine to answer one or two questions."

Shen Hao seldom uttered words, Concubine De felt a little flattered, she nodded: "What is it that can stump you?"

Shen Hao smiled distressedly, "To tell the truth, my son met a woman and wanted to marry her, but she would rather die than do it, making up ridiculous reasons to lie. Mother and concubine are women, especially in this harem. One of the best women naturally understands women's minds best, and if my son can't figure it out, why doesn't she accept me?"

As soon as these words came out, Concubine De's heart was filled with thoughts, 28 years!I had never heard him say that he was going to get married, but now he came back with such good news!

"Let me ask you, is she a girl from an ordinary family or from an official family?"

Shen Hao thought for a while, but didn't know how to answer for a while.Although she is a girl from Wangjingwei Mansion, but she is in Shenghu, she doesn't have the airs of a family daughter, and she is in a difficult situation, no different from ordinary girls.

Concubine De smiled, "If it's a girl from an ordinary family, when choosing a husband-in-law, the consideration is the appearance and disposition of the gentleman. If you have a sweetheart, you will never leave each other. What you want is that this person can live a lifetime. If it is a family The daughter of the family, the family background of the husband is the first factor to consider. If the family is well-matched or the family background is very good, then look at the person's self-motivation and whether he has a chance to make a head in the court. Of course, there are also people who are different and want to stay together Shuangfei, don't think about anything else, but any girl like this will get bored within three years after marrying back home."

Shen Hao took her words one by one, and none of them matched.

Concubine De saw his serious calculation with sad brows, so she knew that this time, her son had really provoked a catastrophe.

"Son." Concubine De called him, Shen Hao turned his head and saw Concubine De's raised eyebrows against Dai Shandai: "My son can marry whoever he wants, even if it's someone else's bride, as long as you want, grab it." I will grab it too."

After waiting for these years, it’s so bad to be rebellious and presumptuous once. After 28 years of falling in this matter, it’s time to be tough again.

When Shen Hao returned to the mansion, Pei Liang had already ordered someone to prepare a change of clothes, took a stack of posters from grandsons and princes, and asked him to have a look.

Shen Hao washed his hands, and habitually took out the handkerchief that he carried with him to wipe his hands, "Push it all, and eat at the mansion tonight."

Looking down to see the crooked embroidery stitches on the handkerchief, remembering what Concubine De had said before leaving, she was in a state of confusion, rubbing the embroidery thread, rubbing her fingers up and down.

"Pei Liang, I have something to tell you." He folded the handkerchief and put it squarely in his pocket, "Check to see if the guard's family has a new wife, and then go to the alley on the west side of Pinghe Street to find out. , Is there a family with the surname Yao?"

"Hey." Pei Liang replied with his hands down.

At noon, Shen Hao came back from court, wearing an official robe with a round collar woven with gold makeup and flowers, sweating heavily.He took off the Futou and the leather belt and ribbon, and his attendants held it behind him. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a young man in purple robes stepping towards him.

Shen Hao nodded and called out, "Sixth brother."

The sixth prince, Shen Kuo, is eight years younger than him, and he is the most amiable person on a daily basis. As soon as they met, he showed him calligraphy and painting: "Second brother, you are finally back, quickly show me how well this copybook is copied." ?”

He took it and put it on the table. He went to the inner room to change into his regular clothes. When he came back, he had wiped all the skirts dry and the heat had gone. He then went to look at the copybooks, being a little more patient.

"Be impartial, less aura. You don't like to read, why do you want to practice calligraphy now?"
