a pillow in autumn

"Mother!!" Shen Xianxun blushed and turned around holding the teacup with both hands.

Fang Yunhe took her hand with a smile, stroking her like she did when she was a child, and said: "You are my daughter-in-law, so why be shy." Seeing the shame on her cheeks getting thicker, she patted the back of her hand and said : "Husband and wife Yulu, having children, is a matter of human relations. You and His Highness have been married for six or seven years. Since the love is so strong, why is your stomach still not moving?"

"Mother..." Shen Xianxun twisted her body to stomp her feet, "Your Highness and I... get along very well. There is no need to rush this matter, so don't worry about it." Outside, she was the dignified and quiet Rui who was respected by everyone. The princess, back home, is still the youngest daughter by her mother's side, like a child who will not grow up, she is calm and dignified, and she just wants to act like a spoiled child when she can't answer.

Zhou Yuanzheng was already over two years old, thinking that it should not be because of Prince Rui.Fang Yunhe glanced at her daughter for a long while, and thought of a possibility on her own, but it was not easy to ask clearly, so she just came up with an idea around the corner: "I think you look a little bad, you must be too busy to delay. The day before yesterday, your sister-in-law's body Some discomfort, your aunt recommended a doctor, came to give your sister-in-law a few palms, and prescribed some nourishing prescriptions, I think it is good. I will ask him to come to the house in a few days and let you have a look."

Shen Xianxun buried her face in her mother's palm and hummed helplessly.Shen Youtang's first wife was pregnant, it goes without saying that the doctor recommended by her aunt was looking for some kind of unwell disease.She was about to decline, but she was afraid of hurting her mother's heart, so she said again and again: "Your Highness and my peace pulse have always been diagnosed by Imperial Physician Pei in the Imperial Hospital. Last year, Imperial Physician Pei was promoted to the envoy of the Imperial Hospital. Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager took the pulse. Except for His Highness being stabbed and injured at the vernal equinox, they used to give Pei Yue the safe pulse of me and His Highness. Now if you want to ask a doctor next to you to check your daughter's pulse, what do you know? It's because my mother loves me If I don't know, I'm afraid I will say that my Shen family dislikes Pei Yue for being young and insensitive. How good it is for Imperial Physician Pei to hear about it. Let's go deeper, if someone passes a sentence to His Majesty's ears, what should His Majesty do? How to think."

After hearing this, Fang Yunhe asked Pei Yue, who was only eighteen (nine) years old, and didn't know how good medical skills were.Shen Xianxun said that he rescued Zhou Muchen and Zhou Mubai several times in Chonghai County, how many illnesses were brought back to life, which is not comparable to ordinary doctors.Fang Yunhe nodded, but Fang was speechless.

The mother and daughter sat and drank tea for a while, chatting about the family affairs, a little girl came in to answer, and after a while, a few women came, and told Fang Yunhe about the birthday banquet of Mrs. Shen's birthday tomorrow.Xian Xun listened to a few words, thinking about Yuan Zheng and Hua Wan, so she resigned with her mother.

Unexpectedly, when she reached the door, her mother stopped her again, "Did you know that there is a Zhanxiang Temple in the suburbs of Beijing? Your grandfather is not in good spirits recently. I want to go to the temple to offer incense on the first day of next month and worship in front of the Bodhisattva." One obeisance is also our intention as juniors. If you have nothing to do, go with me."

There is a well-known Avalokitesvara in Zhanxiang Temple, Fang Yunhe's ulterior motives really make Shen Xianxun dumbfounded, but after all, it is the heart of a mother in the world, Shen Xianxun has no choice but to accept it.

The first day of the new year that Fang Yunhe said was the first day of December.It was extremely cold that day, the trees in the outskirts of Beijing were covered with icicles, and the wheels of the car were crunching on the stone ground, but there was a fast horse galloping on the Jing Road, and the Shen family's carriage out of the city The convoy passed by.

The horse quickly arrived at the gate of the capital, and the messenger hurriedly checked the persistent seal, then jumped on the horse and galloped straight to the palace.

The courier came from Xijun County, his leather jacket was covered with wind and dust, his eyes were bloodshot, he was led to the thousand-step corridor by the servant, and he waited for a long time in the cold wind before he waited for the emperor to take the time to greet him .

After entering the cabinet, he kowtowed to the emperor to greet him, and the messenger took out a note from his bosom, which was written by Qianniuwei General Wei Jinpeng, saying that Duke Wei was seriously ill, and he begged His Majesty to allow him to return home In my hometown, I serve my father before his sick bed, in order to fulfill the last filial piety of a son.

Zhou Muchen took the handwriting and read it carefully for a while, then handed the handwriting to Quan Jing'an who was standing aside.He raised his hand, and Quan Jing'an ran down from the front of the steps, helping the messenger up for His Majesty.Zhou Muchen first encouraged the general for his hard work outside the Great Wall, and then praised the hard work of the soldiers in the army. The messenger hurriedly knelt down again, and said that it is his duty to be loyal to the country.

Zhou Muchen nodded and said: "When I was still the crown prince, I also led the army in the western frontier for two years. The wind, frost, rain and snow are just like you. I know the hardships of your stationing in the border. I have prepared winter food and winter clothes to keep out the cold. Before you come It has been sent by the leader of the Minister of the Ministry of War Zhuo, once it is confirmed, I think it will reach the west frontier before you."

The emperor was kind-hearted, and as a subordinate, he couldn't help but understand. The messenger immediately kowtowed again, fell on the ground and said: "Thank you, Lord Long En. I thank you for your majesty's generous reward on behalf of the 20 soldiers in the western frontier." After a pause, he said: " General Wei's request to go back to his hometown to serve the sick is still up to His Majesty..."

"The Duke of Wei is an important minister of the country, and his merits are in the country. Now that he is old, I am also very worried. I have already sent people to Wei County to visit the old man, and there is also an imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital. You go back and tell General Wei that there is no need to worry. At home, the man's ambition is everywhere, and I hope he will work hard to serve the country and be loyal to the country!" Zhou Muchen interrupted the messenger's words, and after finishing speaking, he glanced at Quan Jing'an with a restrained expression.

Quan Jing'an, who was standing next to the emperor with Fuchen in his arms, came over knowingly, took out a list in his sleeve, and sang something for the courier to bring back to the western frontier to comfort the soldiers on the border, and then greeted the courier politely with a smile on his face. Please go out.

The main hall was empty, Zhou Muchen was the only one left, the doors and windows were all open, the cold wind poured in from all directions, stirring his brocade robe of a sea dragon, and the room was full of silence.

He frowned and thought for a while, then raised his voice and called out: "Xiao Quanzi, send Qu Bin to see me."

Shen Xianxun accompanied her mother to Zhanxiang Temple to burn incense. Because the princess was leaving the city, all the guards followed, and they brought dozens of boys to guard the temple, not letting anyone in. .It took quite a while to go back and forth, and when we got back to the mansion, the sky was going to be dark.

The carriage just drove to the gate of the ceremony, and several servants held up lanterns. Siyuan, who was ordered to stay in the mansion, ran over in three steps at a time. But come back."

Shu Yao opened the door in the carriage, gave her a sideways glance, got out of the car first, and then adjusted the up and down mechanism before helping Shen Xianxun to get out of the car.

"Miss!" Siyuan yelled again, with joy beyond words, "His Royal Highness sent someone to deliver a letter!"

Shen Xianxun's hand on Shuyao's wrist paused for a while, although her face was still solemn, there was a thin light in her eyes.Siyuan was full of credit, and she and Shuyao accompanied her lady to the front hall and side hall.

Zhang Minzhi, an aide of Prince Rui's residence, was waiting in the hall. Seeing Princess Rui Lian stepping in, he hurriedly went up to say hello, took out a flat letter box from his bag, and presented it to Prince Rui with great care. He said respectfully: "Your Highness is well in Yunzhou, and this trip is going well. It's cold and the road is far away. I'm afraid that the princess will be worried, so I sent my minister back to report to the princess." After finishing speaking, he saluted again and bowed. leave.

Shen Xianxun said hard work, and ordered the girl to light a lantern and send Master Zhang out.Turning her head to see Siyuan and Shuyao both standing in the porch smiling, she raised her eyebrows and went to the bedroom.

In Zhou Mubai's home letter, he wrote several plain rain notes, most of which were about the customs and customs along the way, and the occasional small and interesting things that happened.She went to Yunzhou here because of the embezzlement of food for the disaster relief, but she didn't mention the poverty of the people's livelihood and the hardships of the people in the letter. The people are their own responsibility.

Just a few lines of lovesickness and friendship, Su Yujian wrote at the end, Mu Bai said: Everything in Yunzhou is going well, if it is too late, it will be before the new year, and if it is too late, it will be after the new year, and we will return to Beijing to meet each other.My heart is slender, and my thoughts are like carving.

Xian Xun was sitting on the edge of the imperial concubine's couch, reading every word over and over again, until she saw "Niannian Ruzhuo", a tall and tall figure of Mu Bai appeared in her mind, turned around slightly, and smiled brightly at her .That appearance was really engraved into the bone marrow, as if it were being polished.

She slowly fell down on the couch, and covered her heart with those few thin plain rain papers, the light of the candlelight fell halfway through the letter papers on her chest, like Mu Bai's affectionate and sweet kiss.She bit her lip and murmured: "Mubai my heart, every thought is like a sharpening."

Zhou Mubai, who was far away in Yunzhou, did not lie, and the inspection went smoothly. The corrupt officials involved several counties and counties.

Before leaving the capital, Zhou Muchen had ordered him to kill them as an example, and imprison all those in charge, and the official department would directly press them back to the capital.

Since the imperial court issued a decree, the food and salaries for disaster relief arrived quickly, and Zhou Mubai was relieved to see that everyone had made arrangements together.

It happened to be Laba day, and the small kitchen in the other courtyard cooked Laba porridge, made eight kinds of side dishes with four salty and four sweet dishes, and then made eight kinds of dim sum with four meat and four vegetarian dishes according to the habits of the north and south, and sent them to Prince Rui yard.Zhou Mubai saw it, and thought that it was really not easy to cook these dishes during the famine, so he invited Shen Youtang, Shen Lan, and several staff members from Prince Rui's residence, and gathered around several tables to eat together.

The inspection work has come to an end, and those who should be arrested should be arrested, and the rest can be handed over to the Ministry of Officials.

Zhou Mubai ate the porridge, tapped the table with his slender fingers a few times, and asked in a manly voice: "Everything is over in Yunzhou, the lonely king wants to leave for Beijing in three days, can you see it?"

This trip is honored by Prince Rui, once she opened her mouth, everyone agrees, and Yunzhou is not far from the capital, but the mountain road is so rugged, it will take about [-] days to travel, if you can leave in three days, if you can walk quickly Some, it is worthwhile to catch up with the family reunion to watch the new year, how could all the staff not want to.

Shen Youtang cupped his hands and said: "Since that's the case, I will go to the government office tomorrow and entrust the matter in my hand."

Zhou Mubai hummed, but his eyes were on a pair of calligraphy and painting on the wall, it was a picture of ninety-nine cold dispelling, mounted on paper silk, there were nine words in total on the picture: Weeping willows in front of the pavilion cherish the spring breeze.

Each character is composed of nine strokes. From the winter solstice day, one stroke per day, a total of ninety-nine and 81 days. When the writing is complete, the spring breeze will blow the green Jiangnan case.

The writing is good, but it’s not a famous handwriting. She focused on it, but it was because she thought of Shen Xianxun, the 81 red plum blossoms in her pen, and when she leaned against the window and painted plum blossoms, she looked like a beautiful jade. Demure and gentle appearance.
