In this tea party, Shen Yi honestly acted as the mascot. He basically sat next to the table throughout the tea party, drinking water and eating something from time to time. When someone came to say hello to him, he would say hello with a smile.
At noon, the servants of Prince Jin's Mansion brought food over, and Shen Yi had another meal with these karma people. It was not until noon that these ladies said goodbye and left one by one. Shen Yi and the little princess together took these girls
Send them off one by one.
Princess Pingyang was the last to leave. Before leaving, the young married princess looked back at Shen Yi meaningfully, then waved to Shen Yi with a smile and left.
After everyone left, Shen Yi silently took two steps back and saluted the little princess Li Shu: "Princess, the tea party is over. I will go back now."
"I came from a rural background and don't know etiquette. I am rude today. Please forgive me, Princess."
The little princess is fifteen years old this year, about a year younger than Shen Yi. She stood there, looked at Shen Yi quietly, and then whispered: "Does Young Master Shen hate me?"
Shen Yi shook his head and told the truth: "Absolutely not."
"Then why is Mr. Shen so taciturn at today's tea party? He won't speak if he can."
The little princess looked at Shen Yi with a hint of complaint in her tone: "I have been fond of poetry since I was a child, and these sisters also like poetry. That's why they want to meet Mr. Shen. They have no other ideas. You scholars, you read sages."
Books, how come everything can involve men and women?"
Shen Yi was silent for a while, shook his head and said: "Princess, I don't think so. I also know that the princess doesn't think so, but I can't stand other people thinking so. When men and women get along together, they will naturally be talked about. Three people become a tiger.
, everyone’s opinion wins gold…”
Shen Yi lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Shu, but said slowly: "Princess Princess Jinzhi Jade Leaves, some rumors spread out, it will have absolutely no impact on me, and it will even bring glory to me, but I am just a mere child.
If any rumors spread, I'm afraid it will affect the princess's reputation."
"My stay in Prince Jin's Mansion has already caused a lot of trouble to the Princess and her family. I don't dare to make the Princess face any more trouble."
After all, Shen Yi had been in business in his previous life, so he naturally had some skills in speaking. In just a few words, he not only brushed aside his own problems, but even acted like he was thinking about Li Shu.
When the little princess heard this, she did not speak immediately. She looked at Shen Yi for a while, and then said, "You don't look sixteen at all."
"I'm about the same age as you, so I never think about this. I just do what I want to do..."
Shen Yi was silent: "Princess Princess Jinzhiyuye, you don't have to think about it. There will naturally be Prince Jin and the Crown Prince to think about it for you. But I come from a poor family, so sometimes you have to think more."
The little princess nodded, hummed, and turned around silently.
"I have written down everything Mr. Shen said."
After the little princess took two steps, she stopped, looked back at Shen Yi, and said: "Mr. Shen, I won't cause you any more trouble in the future, but if you have any new works, please give them to Huan'er.
One copy, let Huan'er send it to me."
Huan'er was the maid next to her, the little girl who once blocked Shen Yi.
Shen Yi smiled and nodded: "Of course it's no problem."
The little princess nodded, silently turned and left.
After turning around, she sighed softly.
It's not that she has any feelings for Shen Yi, but because she is about to get married.
In this era, marriage was completely decided by her parents. Li Shu had no right to decide her partner. Prince Jin might marry her off at some point.
According to the precedent of a daughter of a clan, she will most likely be married to the son of a distinguished noble, or the second son of a high-ranking official, or a son who has no interest in fame.
If it’s any of the above, that’s fine.
The most terrifying thing is that she may be married to Northern Qi.
Over the past sixty years, there have been times when the Chen State needed to establish a good relationship with the Northern Qi Dynasty. At such times, the Chen State would marry the daughter of the clan to the north, thus easing the relationship between the two countries.
When Emperor Xianzong was in hiding, he married three daughters of the clan within five years.
And as a clan member, there is no room for rejection in this kind of matter.
This is the common sorrow of women in this era. No matter how noble their birth is, even if they are from a royal family, it is difficult to decide their own destiny. They can only go with the flow and let nature take its course.

On the other side, Shen Yi, after separating from the little princess, went straight to the place where his father Shen Zhang was running errands without saying a word, and found Shen Zhang in the room who was making an abacus.
Shen Yi sat opposite Shen Zhang, looked at his father, took a deep breath, and said, "Father, my son has something he wants to discuss with you."
Shen Zhang stopped his abacus and saw Shen Yi's serious face, so he stood up and walked out with his hands behind his back.
"Let's go and talk in the backyard."
Shen Yi nodded and followed his father to the backyard of the small courtyard. He followed Shen Zhang. When he saw no one around, he lowered his head slightly and said, "Dad, I want to move out."
Shen Zhang paused for a moment, then nodded silently: "Well, the money your Majesty will reward you is enough for you to live in Jiankang for many years. If you don't want to live in Prince Jin's palace, then you can move out. I don't have any objections as a father."
."
Shen Yi looked at Shen Zhang, hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Dad, I want you to leave Prince Jin's Mansion and stop doing things here."
Hearing Shen Yi's words, Shen Zhang's eyes suddenly dimmed. He lowered his head and said in a sullen voice: "What, do you think dad has embarrassed you?"
Shen Yi shook his head quickly and said: "My son never meant this. If you hadn't been doing things in the palace these years, my younger brother and I would have starved to death long ago. My son definitely didn't mean this, but..."
Shen Yi lowered his head and said: "To be honest with my father, my son has partnered with others and started a small business in Jiankang. Although the business is not big, he can make some money. You are over forty years old. You have worked hard for so many years.
It’s time to take a break.”
"The money you earn is yours."
Shen Zhang glanced at his son stubbornly and lost his temper: "There is still Heng'er in Jiangdu. As a father, if not for you, I must save some family property for Heng'er.uuReading www.uukanshu.com "
He seemed to be annoyed and said angrily: "If you want to move out, just move out. Dad is here and won't go anywhere."
Having said this, Shen Zhang looked up at his embarrassed son, and seemed to feel that something was wrong with him. He was silent for a while, then turned around and walked to Shen Yi, reached out and patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, and said softly: "Son
Don’t worry, if you become a Jinshi one day, your father will leave the Jin Palace immediately and won’t let you be embarrassed in the officialdom, but now..."
He sighed softly: "Dad is still young, so he can still do some things and save some money for you and Heng'er. You will get married in the future, and Heng'er will also get married. At this time, as a father, you can't be idle..."
Shen Yi quickly lowered his head and said: "Dad, my son doesn't have this intention. If you are willing to work here, then just stay here and work."
"Um."
Shen Zhang nodded in frustration and left with his hands behind his back.
Shen Yi stood there, looking at his old father's disappointed back, feeling somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.
He understood in his heart why Shen Zhang had such a big reaction.
Because the child has grown up, the burden of the family has to be taken over from him.
Shen Zhang has been carrying the burden of this family alone for so many years, and now he is suddenly asked to take off his burden. This huge sense of loss is indescribable.
Looking at his father's retreating back, Shen Yi sighed silently and quickly cheered up again.
This has been the case throughout the ages. One generation is destined to take over the burden from the previous generation. It is just a matter of time.
He took several deep breaths, calmed down, and strode towards the outside of Prince Jin's Mansion.
