Blessed

Chapter 74 More and more considerate people can talk
Yuzhu's first impression of Jiahe was really not good. She was separated from her children for decades without illness or pain. They were all born, and those were her bones, so they should be treated well.

"Go back." Yuzhu put down the curtain, said softly with half-down eyes.

If this is really Princess Jiahe, Shen Mei will come to deliver a letter to her.

After going back for a few days, Shen Mei never sent a letter, Yuzhu was very worried, but now is not a good time to come.

Besides, at the Duke's Mansion, it is indeed Princess Jiahe who returned to the mansion. She claimed that she was unwell and had been living in Pingzhou to recuperate. Why did she suddenly come back now? Outsiders only thought that she was taking care of her health.Everyone in the Duke's Mansion knew about the princess's return to the mansion for a long time. Mrs. Liu asked her servants to clean the main courtyard. Because she is a princess, the main courtyard of the Duke's Mansion has been reserved for her. In another yard.

When Shen Mei learned that Princess Madam was going back, she was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep, she woke up before dawn, and stayed in the room anxiously for a whole day, until sunset, when a servant outside announced, "Princess, Madam is back."

This lady naturally refers to Jiahe. Although she is a princess, she is not considered married. The Duke is an important minister next to the emperor, and she was not even given the Princess Mansion, so that she will serve him well in the mansion in the future.

Since the past dynasties, the consorts that princesses have been looking for have always been given to the princess mansion, and they live with the consorts in the princess mansion. Everything is arranged by the princess, and consorts seldom serve as important ministers in the court. They usually have idle titles or official positions.

Therefore, when Jiahe marries the Duke, she is basically considered as an ordinary woman in the back house. Apart from the slaves respecting the rewards from the palace, the princess doesn't get much treatment, because the emperor can't make the Duke be an idle duke for her.

Jiahe got out of the carriage with the help of her servants. She was very beautiful, with a slender waist, eyebrows and almond eyes. She was in her thirties, but she still had icy muscles and bones. Because she was a princess, she was taught by her mother since she was a child. Mei is still dignified.

She stood there with a calm expression, the servant stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon the side door of the Duke's Mansion opened. The old man was stunned when he saw it was Jiahe, and it took him a while to remember that this was the serious wife of the Duke's Mansion, and left The princess who has been around for decades, he saluted, went in and communicated, and only then opened the main gate of the Duke's Mansion.

When Shen Mei got the news, she didn't wait to wait for her with a smile, she ran towards the gate with the corner of her skirt in her hand, in a short moment, she stopped abruptly, stared straight ahead, her eyes met that delicate and soft woman, her long She is very good-looking, her facial features are somewhat similar to her elder brother's, her expression is a bit cold, and she is looking at herself indifferently.

Shen Mei's heart shrank, she clenched her fists tightly, she suddenly wanted to cry, the Princess Mother who had been looking forward to for so long, it seemed, it seemed that it was not what she imagined.

After all, she was not reconciled, maybe the Princess Mother was like the big brother, with a cold face and a warm heart, she hesitated, stepped forward a few steps, kissed Weng's lips, and finally shouted, "Mom."

Jiahe calmly looked at the little girl in front of her, slightly raised the corners of her lips, stretched out her hand and called out, "A Mei, mother's daughter."

It turned out that she was superstitious, Shen Mei fell to the ground with her heart hanging, the princess lady still liked her very much, she threw herself on Jiahe happily, "Mother, mother, I miss you, mother, are you in good health? This journey is tiring, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?"

What a silly child, Jiahe sighed in his heart, stretched out his hand to caress Shen Mei's hair, "Good boy, mother is fine, mother is back."

In the past few days, Shen Mei has only been pestering Jiahe, and even forgot to send a message to Yuzhu, she still reminded with a smile, "Princess, you and the county lord have not seen each other for a long time, do you want to send her a message?"

"Yes, smile. I'll write a letter. You can pass it to the uncle's house for me. Just say that I'm going to play with Yuzhu in a few days." After Niang came back, she still stayed in the Buddhist hall for a long time, but she didn't spend much time with her.

Ji's side learned that Jiahe came back and went to the Buddhist hall every day, she couldn't help sneering, and said to the nurse beside her, "This one is also cruel, he is not close to his children, and I don't know why he came back. Let the princess know what kind of person she is in the future, so she won't die of grief."

"What madam said is true." Madam Xu sighed, "But it's good for madam, the wife is still in charge of Zhongfu, and the power in the mansion is also controlled by madam. The servants really don't understand, how can a woman be so cruel, Treat your own daughter with indifference."

Mrs. Ji snorted and laughed, "But because she is a princess, if she is an ordinary woman in the duke's mansion, she would have been divorced a long time ago. The old lady is not in good health, so I don't care about these things. I am a concubine Shi, I can't tell her, it's better to let her be like this, there will always be a day when she regrets it."

Xu's mother also felt uncomfortable. Ji was the child she breastfeeded, and she loved her very much from the bottom of her heart, but Madam, did she regret it?She regretted entering the uncle's mansion as a concubine, and the children she gave birth to would be inferior to the children of the concubine, would she be willing?

Yuzhu finally waited for Shen Mei's letter, her joy could overflow from the letter, Yuzhu sighed after reading it, "It's good to see her happy."

In the past few days, the freshness in Shen Mei's heart has also passed. Maybe she felt something. She felt that the princess would smile at her and touch her head, but that feeling could not reach the bottom of her heart. Big brother On the surface, he is also deserted to her, rarely smiles at her, he will care about his homework, female red, and will say a few words to her when he wears less clothes, she can feel that concern from the heart.

Today she was wearing a bright yellow floral emerald gauze dew skirt. It is very cold to wear a skirt this season, but the princess lady only praised her for being beautiful, and didn't even remind Hanxiao beside her to add a beanie to her.

On the way back, she started to cry, and she smiled and felt distressed, "Princess, don't cry, maybe the princess didn't notice..."

"Yeah, I'm her daughter, but she doesn't even notice this." She murmured, "Actually, I know everything. I've heard what the servants in the mansion said a long time ago. I, I know She actually doesn't care about me and my eldest brother, nor about Daddy."

Hanxiao wanted to cry, but heard the little princess say, "Hanxiao, go invite Yuzhu to play, I haven't seen Yuzhu for a long time, I miss her a little."

Hesitating with a smile, "Princess, do you want to speak to the princess?"

Shen Mei paused her steps, her expression was a little dark, "Speak up, Yuzhu is my best friend, I have to tell her."

I went to tell Jiahe about inviting Yuzhu to play in the mansion, and Jiahe finally responded, "Is it the Fuchang County Lord of Jiang's family? I've heard about her, and it's good for you to befriend her. a blessed one."

Yuzhu got the letter, and the next day she brought licorice to see Shen Mei at the Duke's mansion. The weather was getting hotter, and Yuzhu was wearing a hibiscus-colored dark floral silk pleated satin skirt, with a moon white embroidered plum blossom pleated skirt on the outside. Wearing a pair of pink gemstone earrings, she looks like a slim girl.Sitting in the carriage was a little boring, Licorice took a red lacquered plum blossom box from the grid, "Girl, do you want something to eat?"

Grabbing a few fried walnuts and eating them, suddenly there was the sound of trampling horseshoes outside the carriage, vigorous and hurried, and the exclamation of passers-by, "Where are these soldiers coming back from? Look at them so majestic."

Someone recognized the man on the horse and was surprised, "Isn't this the son of the Duke of the State? Wasn't he summoned by the Duke of the State to go to the Shemen Gate? It's been almost three years, why did you return to Beijing today? "

Shen Xian?Yuzhu stopped chewing the food in her mouth, puffed her cheeks and opened the curtain to look over, and there was a tall and straight young man sitting on the iron horse riding past. At the beginning, the water chestnuts became clear, and the transparent dark eyes were a bit breathtaking.

Sensing something, Shen Xian reined in the reins, and the tall horseman raised his hooves and honked, his two front hooves landed firmly on the ground, making a clicking sound. He looked back, and there was a snow-like snow-like flower under the begonia-colored dark-patterned curtain. Yu's small face was so exquisite and compact that it might not even be as big as his palm, and her eyes were clear and clear, shining like stars.At this moment, those eyes were looking at him in surprise.

I thought that the little county gentleman who ate a lot would grow into a chubby dumpling, but he didn't want to meet again. It was very different from what he expected.

With a slight movement in his heart, he pulled the reins and turned the horse's head. The black horse stomped towards the carriage and stopped beside the curtain.

Yuzhu shouted in surprise, "Brother Shen." The voice muttered, and then she realized that the walnuts in her mouth hadn't been eaten yet. Returning to Beijing? You didn’t tell me in the letter, otherwise I would have called A Mei to meet you.”

It's been a few years since I haven't seen him, and I still love to eat so much. I haven't seen him for a few years, and I'm not at all unfamiliar. It's thanks to the letters I exchanged on February [-]st.Shen Xian's eyes were still cold, but the corners of his mouth were turned up, "The secret letter from the sage called me back to Beijing, and I have to go back to the Duke's mansion first, so I should go with you." His voice was also the same as before, like the sound of jade , sounds great.

"It just so happens that I'm going to the Duke's Mansion to look for Ah Mei. Do you want Brother Shen to come with you?" Yuzhu invited him into the carriage, and since it was recalled by a secret letter, he must have come back overnight, seeing that his eyes were slightly blue.

Shen Xian didn't refuse, and got off the steed, he was still wearing a dark blue brocade jacket and a black cloak.Handing over the horse to the accompanying soldiers, he stepped into the carriage and entered.The dilapidated carriage in Jiang's mansion has been replaced long ago, and the few in the mansion are very luxurious, this one is often made by Yuzhu, it is quite spacious inside, there are many hidden compartments for her to put her things in, and it can be dismantled into a small couch for her Rest in the carriage when you are tired on weekdays.

Seeing his dusty appearance, Yuzhu personally took a sapphire copper pot with twigs and lotus patterns and a matching blue and white teacup with twigs from the hidden compartment on the side and poured him a cup of hot water, "Brother Shen, drink some first." Hot water, there is still more than a quarter of an hour away, you rest first, we are not in a hurry to catch up, I will talk to you when I have time."

I haven't seen her for a few years, and the little girl has become more considerate and able to speak.Shen Xian took the teacup, and rubbed the dark lines of the blue and white entwined branches with his thumb, and remained silent for a while, his dark eyes concealing his emotions.Not seeing each other for three years, Yuzhu felt that his mind was more difficult to figure out.

Shen Xian drank the hot water in the teacup, listened to Yuzhu's words, closed his eyes and meditated, even so, his back was still straight.

Soon I arrived at the gate of the Duke's mansion. Yuzhu always enters through the side door on weekdays. This time when the son came back, the old man was shocked when he opened the door. Yuzhu also followed him in through the main entrance, and when she walked to the carved corridor, Shen Xian looked at her sideways, "I'll go back and change into my clothes and go to the palace to meet the saint. Talk about the old days."

The boy who led the way bowed and whispered, "My lord, the princess is back home. Would you like to go see the princess first?"

Seeing Shen Xian, Yuzhu was slightly startled, her expression was uneasy, and her face sank, "No, you lead the county lord to find the princess, don't worry about me." After saying that, she strode up the corridor, and soon passed the hanging flower gate, and her figure disappeared not see.

The servant didn't dare to say much, and led Yuzhu to Shen Mei's Cui Ning Courtyard. The little princess should be practicing calligraphy, sitting in front of the desk, holding a pen in his hand. She didn't see her writing for a long time, and she didn't even hear Yuzhu entering the door. , still smiled and welcomed her into the door, and whispered to Shen Mei, "Princess, the fourth girl is here."

Shen Mei finally came back to her senses, a smile appeared on her pale face, and she got up to meet her, "Yuzhu, you've come."

Yuzhu turned her head and called Sheng Baoer Meower, and behind her two big rabbits hopped in, not acknowledging their identity at all, jumping up and down the room.When Hanxiao sent her a letter, she said something about the Duke's Mansion. Yuzhu knew that Shen Mei must have discovered something, and she must be very sad, so she specially brought these two rabbits to play with him.

Seeing the two big rabbits, Shen Mei's mood really improved a lot, she asked Hanxiao to go to the kitchen to get some vegetable leaves to feed them, she was concentrating on feeding them, when suddenly she heard Yuzhu say, "By the way, Ah Mei, I ran into you on the way here Brother, he has returned to Beijing."

Shen Mei turned around abruptly, with a joyful expression on her face, "But really? Yuzhu, my elder brother is really back?" She said as she got up and was eager to go out, "I have to go out and see."

Yuzhu stopped her and pushed the little girl down on the grand teacher's chair, "Your eldest brother was recalled by the emperor's secret letter. He should have changed his clothes and went to the palace to meet the saint. He said that he might not come back for dinner at noon. He may wait until very late to return home, you don't have to wait, he will definitely come to see you as soon as he comes back."

Shen Mei frowned, "Then, does my elder brother know about Mother's return?"

"I know, a servant at home has told him about it, but he didn't even see the princess, so he went back to his room and changed his clothes before leaving."

Yuzhu could understand what she was thinking, and she felt that the little girl was extremely helpless, "Don't worry, you must be the first person your elder brother will see when he comes back. You wait at home, we will read a book later, and I will accompany you to eat at noon." Time will pass quickly, and your elder brother will be back soon."

Shen Mei's eyes slowly turned red, she held Yuzhu's hand tightly, "Thank you, Yuzhu."

In this world, there is no one who treats her better than eldest brother and Yuzhu.

Yuzhu accompanied the princess to read books and practice calligraphy at the Duke's Mansion and had lunch. At the end of Shen Shi, Shen Xian returned to the mansion. The first thing she did was to meet Shen Mei in the Cui Ning Courtyard.The princess was very excited when she saw him, and cried and threw herself on him, "Brother, I miss you so much, you are back."

Seeing that she was covered in rabbit fur, Shen Xian couldn't bear it anymore, pushed her away, and ordered Hanxiao, "Hanxiao, go down and clean up your master, clean clothes are here."

Shen Meiqi's face was a little red, "Brother, you despise me again!" Her angry appearance regained some of her previous vitality.

Yuzhu is not much better at the moment, she is also covered in rabbit fur, her eyes overflowing with a smile, "Brother Shen, it's getting late, I should go back, I'll come back tomorrow to bother you, you can talk to A Mei more, she A little unhappy."

Shen Xian had long changed into a stone-blue hang silk straight gown, with a jade belt around his waist. He was very tall, and the jade beads had just reached his chest.He stood by Yuzhu's side, and said slowly, "I'll take you out, Ah Mei will take a while to freshen up."

"Okay." Yuzhu smiled, her eyes crooked, "It happens that I have a lot to say to Brother Shen, and I miss you so much after three years of separation."
