Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 112

Shen Ruyi was checking the dim sum and menu at tomorrow's banquet, when a maid came in and replied: "Hui Chun, who is next to Master Hou, has come and said he has something to ask for the girl, does the girl want to see her?"

Then we must meet, Shen Ruyi put down the list and asked Xia Bing to invite Huichun to come in.Huichun is a servant who knows the rules very well. From entering the door with Xia Bing to standing in the middle of the room, he didn't lift his head, just staring at the area under his feet.

After entering the door, he bowed to Shen Ruyi: "Hello, young lady. Your Highness the Sixth Highness brought a few books over. Lord Hou said he didn't like those books, so please go and have a look."

Shen Ruyi raised her eyebrows, the sixth prince?Nodding, Shen Ruyi got up: "Okay, I'll go there now."

The maids stayed outside, and Shen Ruyi went into the study by herself.Lord Shen was sitting behind the desk, flipping through a chess record in his hand, the sixth prince was sitting in front of the desk, with his hands on his lap, sitting in a neat manner, keeping his eyes on the door, seeing Shen Ruyi coming in , showing a big smile in an instant.

Shen Ruyi hurriedly saluted: "I have seen His Highness the Sixth Highness, please greet the Sixth Highness."

The sixth prince quickly reached out to help Shen Ruyi: "Don't be polite to me, we are so familiar with each other, we can be regarded as close friends, when you see me, it is like meeting other friends, just like a pearl and a friend." Sixth Sister and the others, don’t you need to salute when you see them?”

"Then how can it be the same." Shen Ruyi couldn't help laughing, at least, those two were girls, only their genders were different.The sixth prince saw some teasing on her face, although it was a bit inexplicable, but he still intuitively didn't bother with this question: "Didn't I tell you before that I bought a few sets of books from Jiangnan? I wanted to give them to you earlier. You sent it over, but after going back, my father suddenly gave me an errand, and I have been so busy with this job, I am not at ease about letting someone else send it over, so I delayed it until now."

In fact, I just wanted to take the opportunity of sending the book to meet Shen Ruyi. If someone else sent it, how would I meet?

Shen Ruyi was about to speak when she suddenly heard a few coughs, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Lord Shen, still sitting in the same posture as before, not even moving a bit until now, looking down at the book with her eyes down, tapping her fingers lightly on the table Knocked.

Shen Ruyi hurriedly saluted: "Father."

"Well, come and sit down." Lord Shen said calmly, raised his eyelids, and looked at the sixth prince again: "Your Highness, please sit down too, you're welcome, we also meet often, so there is no need to be too polite."

I simply didn't know how to answer these words, Shen Ruyi simply ignored the words, walked around the desk, and sat down beside Lord Shen, the sixth prince looked at Shen Ruyi, then at Lord Shen, obediently Shun also sat down again.

He opened his mouth again, he didn't know what to say, he wanted to say something affectionate, no one could ignore the figure of Marquis Shen.It would be a waste of this great opportunity to say something ordinary. Who knows when the next meeting will be?
"I heard that Lord Hou likes to drink Taiping Houkui. It's the morning court today. I asked my father for some. Do you want to taste it?" As the gift of the future father-in-law, I hurriedly got up and took out a blue and white round jar from the box next to it, and respectfully sent it to Lord Shen.

Only then did Lord Shen snort softly to save face, took the tea pot, opened it and smelled it, and nodded with a smile: "That's right, the first-class Taiping Monkey Chief is worthy of being an imperial treasure, thank you, Your Highness the Sixth Highness."

"No thanks, no thanks," the sixth prince hurriedly waved his hands, and rubbed the back of his head with a silly smile: "Just as long as the Hou Ye likes it, if the Hou Ye drinks it well, next time there will be more in the palace, I will bring some more to the Hou Ye."

Lord Shen couldn't help laughing, this imperial tea, if there is three to five catties in the palace, it's almost enough, and then the emperor will reward this imperial tea a little bit, how many can be left behind?His Highness the Sixth Highness can bring three or five taels out of the sky. This jar is almost two taels. It is estimated that the emperor is already distressed. And next time, maybe he will send it here, and the emperor will be there. Go back again.

"Is there only tea?" Shen Ruyi poked her head to look, the sixth prince was a little confused, so Shen Ruyi turned to look at Lord Shen: "Father, my mother doesn't like to drink this kind of tea, my mother likes to drink scented tea."

I didn't have that condition in Lu's house before, let alone go to Zhuangzi later. Fortunately, Mrs. Shen didn't pick anything. She also liked the scented tea served in Zhuangzi. After drinking it for a long time, she also liked that kind of tea. Taste it.

Lord Shen looked at the sixth prince, and the sixth prince suddenly realized that he was so busy pleasing his future father-in-law that he forgot that there was a future mother-in-law.If you want to marry a wife smoothly, you must please the old father-in-law. Only when the old father-in-law nods can the marriage be counted, and only when the old father-in-law nods can he choose a good day to come to propose marriage.But if you want to have a good life in the future, you have to please your mother-in-law.

Although it is said that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes her son-in-law, but you are not willing to please your mother-in-law at all, so the possibility of liking it is really unlikely.

"The imperial grandmother also likes to drink scented tea. She has a lot of scented tea. I don't know what kind of scented tea Mrs. Shen likes. I will ask the imperial grandmother for some later." The sixth prince said hurriedly, Shen Ruyi looked at Lord Shen, Lord Shen Coughed lightly: "She likes rose tea."

Only then did Shen Ruyi turn to look at the sixth prince, who nodded hurriedly: "Grandmother doesn't really like to drink this, but the queen mother has a lot of rose tea."

"Didn't His Highness the Sixth Prince say that he brought books here?" Satisfied, Marquis Shen brought the topic back: "Ruyi is also a reader who likes to read. I heard from her that you usually discuss with her when you get a good book? You got it today." What good book?"

"I got it from Jiangnan. There are two storybooks, a commentary, and a set of strange tales." The sixth prince said shyly. Lord Shen nodded and looked at Shen Ruyi again: "Go , if you like it, I will ask people to buy more books back later.”

The corners of Shen Ruyi's mouth twitched, and she really couldn't figure out what kind of wind Lord Shen was twitching today. He didn't care if the relationship between her and the sixth prince was good or not?Why did she suddenly become a mother-in-law now, even if they want to read books, they have to be supervised by the side!

Seeing that the sixth prince was looking at her, Shen Ruyi nodded and went to read a book first.When outsiders were around, she was always obedient, docile and obedient, and never opposed Lord Shen Hou.Now she is not married yet, if word spreads that she contradicts her elders, she will never even think about marrying in the future.

"This is what I told you last time. The book written by the famous talented man in the south of the Yangtze River is new. I wrote the annotations on this book. When you read it, please also write the annotations, okay? "The sixth prince lowered his voice and said with a smile, but Lord Shen Hou coughed again on the other side.

The sixth prince hurriedly shut up, and blinked at Shen Ruyi with a smile in his eyes.

Shen Ruyi couldn't help laughing, she stretched out her hand to pick up the book, and flipped through the annotated ones first, and the first thing that caught her eye was the handwriting on it, graceful and elegant, smooth and flowing, very beautiful.It is said that handwriting is like a person, and this handwriting is as gentle as jade.

"Look, I like this book the most. It's very majestic and full of whimsy. I'm surprised that this person can think of so many things." The sixth prince said with a smile: "The description is so I sometimes wonder whether such things really exist, or in other words, do such things exist in another real world, and then the author has some kind of opportunity to get a glimpse of the secret. "

"Maybe, it's like we usually dream, isn't it also very weird?" Shen Ruyi said with a smile, and the sixth prince nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I will write a book in the future, and I will write a book like Mengxi pen talk. Such a tome!"

Shen Ruyi was a little surprised. The sixth prince also said before that he wanted to write a book in the future. Shen Ruyi thought that he was just talking for fun, or that he was writing two scripts or something, or that he was writing something similar to gossip. However, he did not expect that the sixth prince still had great ambitions and wanted to write a great book!
"Okay, have ambition!" Before Shen Ruyi could speak, Lord Shen suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, "I, the son-in-law of someone Shen, naturally can't be mediocre! If you have this ambition, I will fully support it! Where is your father? I will also help you talk, you just do what you like to do."

The sixth prince blushed with excitement, not only because Lord Shen said that he would help him and support his idea, but also because of what Lord Shen said earlier - I am the son-in-law of someone Shen, does this mean that Did Marquis Shen really agree to this marriage?
Unlike the previous specious, this is clearly stated!

"Father, why are you joining in the fun?" Shen Ruyi turned her head, almost wanting to drive Lord Shen away, and Lord Shen touched his chin with a smile: "Speaking of which, this Monkey King of Taiping is a rare imperial tea. It would be a waste for people who know how to make tea, just wait, I will make a pot myself."

After speaking, get up and leave.Simply snappy, Shen Ruyi was dumbfounded.

"Ruyi, what do you think?" The sixth prince watched Lord Shen leave with great joy, then turned around and asked Shen Ruyi: "I want to write a great book after book, will you support me?"

Shen Ruyi looked up at the sixth prince. This man was still very young, in his late twenties, with dreams, passions, and goals.Suddenly, Shen Ruyi was at a loss. What did she want to do in this life?When I first came back to my soul, I thought about living a good life and living a peaceful life, but then what?When it's safe?What about when there is no threat to life?

Every day is to look at the account book, listen to people's stories, and then send out the housekeeper's sign.If you still have time, read books, write and write, give birth to a child when the opportunity comes, hold a grandson when the time comes, and then die.

For the rest of his life, he left nothing but his heirs.

Not only her, but all the women in this world live their lives like this.In the past, Shen Ruyi never felt that there was anything wrong with this. People lived a lifetime, didn't they just pursue a smooth and stable life?

But facing the sixth prince whose eyes were full of excitement, Shen Ruyi somehow felt inferior.With such an ideal and such a goal, isn't it more suitable for the Sixth Prince to be a talented woman who is well-versed in poetry and books?

Isn't it true that an ordinary person like myself is not worthy of the sixth prince?
"Ruyi?" After a long time without Shen Ruyi's answer, the sixth prince's excitement faded a bit, and he looked at Shen Ruyi with some doubts: "You don't think so?"
"No, I just feel that I may not be able to help you." After a pause, Shen Ruyi replied honestly: "Look, when I read books on weekdays, I just read some story books, gossip, anecdotes and the like. , I don’t even like history books, but you want to write a great book, I can’t help you at all.”

The sixth prince was just too excited just now, so he didn't notice Shen Ruyi's abnormality.But what a smart person he is, at this moment Shen Ruyi lowered her head and couldn't hide her frustration. The sixth prince could see it at a glance, and couldn't help laughing: "If you can help, how do you want to help me?"

Shen Ruyi frowned: "If I can help, I can help you look up some information when you are writing a book, I can answer you when you want to know something, and I can give you some advice when you want it. "

The sixth prince blinked: "But these, you can also help me now. If I want any information, I can tell you the details and let you look it up for me. When I want to know something, if you also I don’t know, we can read books together. When I want some advice, why can’t you give me? Even if you only like to read books like story books on weekdays, what you like is also what most people like Yes, the book I wrote is not only read by a handful of people, I want more people to read it, why can't you give me advice?"

"It's different." Shen Ruyi shook her head, and the sixth prince smiled and said, "What's the difference? If what you like is different from mine, then when I'm writing a book, if you're free, you can write a book yourself." , as if you were writing with me."

"If I want to find someone who can help me write a book, I might as well not get married, just stay with those old men in the Imperial Academy." Before Shen Ruyi could speak, the sixth prince said again: "Or, I Living alone in the library, you can read whenever you want, and you can check what information you want. You can even make decisions when you sleep and eat. If you don’t leave the library for the rest of your life, what are the benefits of getting married? When eating Someone is taking care of it, and someone is taking care of it when you sleep, and it's even more troublesome to have a baby, isn't it a waste of time?"

Shen Ruyi frowned even tighter, and the sixth prince continued: "Ruyi, I know what you are worried about. You are afraid that you will not be able to help me, and you always feel that the housewife, the housekeeper who has been in the house for a long time, will change after a long time. After becoming a layman, besides the housekeeper's affairs, I can no longer find topics to talk to me every day, right?"

Dazed for a moment, Shen Ruyi pursed her lips and did not speak.

"Ruyi, ninety-nine out of ten couples in this world have different preferences. For example, my father and mother have been loving each other these years, but my father handles government affairs all day long, and my mother takes care of the harem. When the two of them meet, is it possible that they don't say a word?"

That's because they basically don't see each other very much. Speaking of it, she used to think that the emperor should stay in her Qianqing Palace during the day, except to read the booklets and discuss things with the ministers, and then choose casually at night when it's time to sleep. A palace to sleep in.

Talk about deep feelings, the emperor shouldn't have feelings.

Perhaps something could be seen from Shen Ruyi's face, or the sixth prince himself realized that the emperor and empress, the most respected couple in the world, cannot be compared with ordinary people.

Resolutely changed an example: "Do you know what Lord Shen likes to do? Where is Mrs. Shen?"

Shen Ruyi wanted to stare at the Sixth Prince. In this capital, who didn't know that Mrs. Shen was sent out of the capital by Lord Shen for more than ten years, and she didn't even take a look at it?If it weren't for the filial piety archway later, Mrs. Shen might have died of old age in Zhuangzi.

Just like in the previous life, what happened to Mrs. Shen, could it be that Lord Shen was not at fault at all?
