Brothers Shen You and Shen Jia, who originally planned to go back after lunch at Cui's house, couldn't bear Cui Yuanhan's warm invitation, so they spent the entire afternoon and left after dinner.
Feng Shaojun sent them out of the house with a smile, waving his white and delicate hands: "Cousin You, come back next time during your holiday."
The flowers that have been in the hairpin for most of the day are still beautiful and blooming in Shaojun's cousin's hair.
However, no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they are not as sweet as her smile.
The sentence "I may not be free" silently flowed back and forth between Shen You's lips and teeth, but he did not spit it out.
Shen Jia had already smiled enthusiastically and said: "Of course. Our brothers will definitely come in ten days."
Then, he mounted the horse neatly and handsomely.
Shen You pursed his thin lips, nodded slightly to Feng Shaojun, got on the horse's back, clamped the horse's belly with his long legs, and rode away.
Cui Yuanhan was very happy and said to Feng Shaojun with a smile: "They are all gone, don't look at them, let's go back too!"
Feng Shaojun responded with a smile, turned around and entered Cui's house.
The night breeze is blowing, cool and pleasant.
The two brothers galloped all the way back to Shen's Mansion.
Da Feng didn't mind that they came back late at all, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing I didn't wait for you to have dinner, otherwise, I would still be hungry until now."
Shen Jia grinned widely and said, "Cousin from the Cui family was very enthusiastic about staying, so we simply stayed and had dinner before coming back."
Da Feng smiled knowingly.
Shen You didn't say a word. However, his eyebrows were relaxed and there was no trace of gloominess. It can be seen that he was very comfortable in Cui's house that day.
Da Feng called Shen You over and asked in detail about the incident in Prince Qin's Mansion.
Shen You didn't like to waste words, so he spoke concisely and told the events of the day in just a few sentences.
After hearing this, Da Feng sighed with a smile: "I never expected that His Highness Prince Yan and His Majesty Princess Yan are so affectionate and righteous."
King Yan looked at Shen You differently because of the late Shen Rong.
However, Princess Yan favored Shen You very much because of the Jiang family.
This is the only good thing that Jiang's biological mother has brought to Shen You.
Da Feng didn't say it directly, but Shen You also understood. He was silent for a moment and then said: "From now on, I will do my best to do my job and die for His Highness."
Da Feng was frightened when he heard this, and said with a smile: "That's very well said, why are you suddenly born and died? It sounds very scary. Don't talk nonsense."
"Auntie is still looking forward to you marrying a wife as soon as possible, having a few children, and expanding the branches of the Shen family!"
Shen You: "..."
His engagement to Shaojun's cousin was a temporary arrangement, and the engagement would be broken off later. How could he marry her and have several children?
However, he couldn't say such words at all, and he couldn't say them out loud!
Under the expectant eyes of Da Feng, Shen You turned his head to the side in a slightly embarrassed manner.
Shen Jia was so amused: "Fourth brother, you are not a big girl, why are you so ashamed!"
Shen You would not contradict Mr. Feng with words, and he was not so polite to Shen Jia. With a glance coming over, Shen Jia touched her nose knowingly and stopped her mouth.
Da Feng looked at her son with a smile: "Sanlang, come here. Tell me, have you caused any trouble in Prince Yan's Mansion these days?"
Shen Jia answered smoothly: "Of course not. I am honest and well behaved!"
Da Feng was dubious: "You really didn't cause any trouble?"
Shen Jia didn't feel guilty at all, and responded confidently: "It's really not true. I get up early and go to bed late every day, practice martial arts seriously, and memorize the rules by heart. If mother doesn't believe it, just ask my fourth brother."
Da Feng looked at her nephew eagerly: "Silang, is what Sanlang said true?"
It's better not to worry Auntie.
Shen You responded without changing his expression: "It's true. The third brother followed the rules in Prince Yan's palace, performed well, and never received any punishment."
Da Feng was very excited when he heard this, and said happily: "Really? This is great!"
Shen Jia successfully escaped the disaster, and he should have been happy at first. But after thinking about it, he felt a little depressed.
Mother didn't believe a word he said. As soon as the fourth brother opened his mouth, mother believed everything. Thinking about it, she was really a little cautious!
…
The leisurely and contented days passed by in a flash.
That morning, shopkeeper Yu from Hongzhuang Pavilion sent rouge.
Feng Shaojun took the rouge box back to the boudoir with a smile on his face.
Cui Yuanhan looked at his cousin's slim and light figure, and a subtle thought suddenly flashed in his mind. Last time, the people from Hongzhuang Pavilion sent rouge, but his cousin disappeared that day.
Will it be the same this time?
Cui Yuanhan's premonition was quickly verified.
Half an hour later, Feng Shaojun came to see him. Before he could open his mouth, Cui Yuanhan said, "Cousin is going out again?"
Feng Shaojun nodded.
Cui Yuanhan sighed secretly and asked in a low voice: "How long will you be out this time?"
Feng Shaojun thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure. It could be eight days or ten, or it could be a month or two."
Can't you just go?
When the words reached Cui Yuanhan's lips, they were swallowed silently.
Cui Yuanhan whispered: "Be more careful." He paused and then said: "There are still two days until Prince Yan's Mansion is closed for holiday. What should we do if brothers Shen You and Shen Jia come?"
Feng Shaojun's eyes flashed slightly and he said calmly: "If they come, just say that I have rubella, and I can only keep it in the boudoir without exposure to light or wind."
Shen You would never break into the boudoir to see her.
Shen Jia is more reckless, but as a cousin, it is not convenient for him to break into the girl's boudoir.
Cui Yuanhan could only nod in agreement.
Before Feng Shaojun turned around and left, Cui Yuanhan couldn't help but say: "Cousin, you'd better take Jixiang with you! There is someone of your own by your side who knows both cold and heat, and can also take care of your food, clothing and daily life."
Feng Shaojun said: "No need, it's convenient for me to go alone."
Cui Yuanhan watched Feng Shaojun leave. He sighed, stretched out his hand to grab the hair on the back of his head, and grabbed it hard several times. If this continued, he would definitely become bald.
"Sir," Changqing, the young man, came over holding a letter: "This is a letter from Pingjiang Mansion."
It's a letter from my grandmother Xu.
Cui Yuanhan's eyes lit up, he immediately took the letter, opened it and looked at it, his expression suddenly changed.
It’s over!
It’s over, it’s over!
Cui Yuanhan stretched out his hand in distress and grabbed his hair again.
Changqing saw this and felt very distressed: "Sir, stop pulling your hair. The hair here is much thinner than elsewhere."
The young master is so handsome, young and full of energy, but how can he be seen with a bald head?
Cui Yuanhan put down his hand dejectedly and sighed longly: "How can I care about this now."
Changqing also became nervous: "What exactly is written in this letter? Could it be that the old lady is unwell?"
Cui Yuanhan smiled bitterly: "That's not true." He paused and said, "Let someone clean up the yard. Grandma is already on her way to the capital. She will arrive in the capital in less than ten days."
