Tang riddles

On the evening of May [-]th, Shen Sui came out of the palace exhausted and got into the carriage that came to pick him up.Hu Tuo was driving ahead, and he didn't know whether he should ask about the progress of the case.But fortunately, Shen Sui still had some desire to confide, and briefly mentioned a few details about the case to Hu Tuo.After hearing this, Hu Tuo felt very uncomfortable.Especially for Yang Yuhuan's sacrifice, he felt really sad.

"Hutuo, if you have someone you like, go for it as soon as possible, don't procrastinate, you can't even predict what will happen tomorrow, and it will be too late to regret it." Shen Sui said earnestly.

Hu Tuo could only smile wryly, four years have passed, but Wu Ya's attitude towards him has not changed at all.What else can he do, except wait, and he can only wait.

Accompanied by the sound of evening drums, the carriage quickly headed towards Shen's residence.Shen Sui's heart is like an arrow, wishing to see Zhang Ruohan and Xiao Huang'er immediately.It's only been a day since I left early in the morning, but it seems like many years have passed.She is really tired.

When the carriage drove into the mansion, Shen Sui had already seen Xiao Huang'er waiting in the yard, holding a branch and drawing something on the ground.She hurriedly jumped out of the car, rushed forward, picked up Huang'er, rubbed her into her arms, and kissed again and again.

"Father... I'm uncomfortable..." the little guy moaned.

"Daddy misses Huang'er so much." Shen Sui actually acted coquettishly towards his four-year-old daughter, and couldn't help but tickle her with his hand, making Huang'er giggle non-stop.

But the little guy was puzzled, how long did daddy leave, why would he think of himself so much?Dad used to leave early and return late, but he has never been like this.But the little guy still replied very intimately:

"Huang'er also misses Dad."

Shen Sui smiled, and couldn't help kissing her again.

"What is Huang'er doing?"

"Practice calligraphy! Dad, look, I wrote the six-character mantra." When Xiao Huang'er said this, her big eyes lit up.Shen Sui looked at the ground, and saw the six-character mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum".The corners of Shen Sui's mouth twitched, Xin Dao Lotus taught the child something again, and the six-character mantra came out.But the little guy's handwriting seems to have improved again, and he has already written in style.

"Well written!" Shen Sui praised, "But Huang'er, why don't you go to the study to practice handwriting? Grabbing the branches is so dirty, look, it stained Father's robe." Shen Sui's official robe has Two small paw prints were printed.

"A Niang has been waiting for Dad, and Huang'er has been waiting too." The little guy explained.The child's speech was incomplete, but Shen Sui understood that the lotus maid was probably waiting for him, so the child followed suit and ran directly to the outer courtyard.

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.Zhang Ruohan had already appeared at the door, seeing Shen Sui talking with the child in his arms, he couldn't help smiling, his expression seemed relieved.

"Lotus maid." Shen Sui called her, and walked forward with the child in his arms.He stretched out a hand to wrap around Zhang Ruohan's waist, and pressed a kiss on her forehead.

Zhang Ruohan noticed the small paw prints on Shen Sui's robe at a glance, raised his hand to pat her, frowned and said:

"Ah, it's going to be washed again. You don't have anyone to change your official robes. If you are recruited into the palace tomorrow, it's so humid these days, so you can't do it."

"It doesn't matter, it's fine to wear ordinary clothes tomorrow." Shen Sui smiled.

A family of three walked in the door.

"What's the situation now?" Zhang Ruohan asked. She was worried as soon as Shen Sui entered the palace. Hutuo came back halfway and briefly explained what happened. However, Hutuo didn't know most of the details. He only said that Li Jinyue and Yang Yuhuan was taken into the palace for trial.

"It's not good, Mao Mao and Yuhuan are under house arrest right now." Shen Sui said.Just at this moment, Xie Niang came over, Shen Sui put down Huang'er, and said:

"Huang'er and grandma are going to wash their hands, and we will have dinner later."

Yingniang led the child away, Shen Sui and Zhang Ruohan walked side by side to their own room, ready to change clothes and wash their hands.While walking, Shen Sui continued to tell Zhang Ruohan what happened today in detail.At the end, he exclaimed:

"Maomao is very uncomfortable now. Yuhuan has already been favored by the saint. I am afraid that it will be a matter of time to enter the palace. But we have no way to stop it now." While talking, he handed the faded official robe to Zhang Ruohan.

"She's really stuck in it." Zhang Ruohan took her official robe and handed her the home uniform.

Shen Sui put on his robe, glanced at Zhang Ruohan, and couldn't help laughing:

"You can see it clearly. In fact, I didn't believe that she was really tempted until I saw Mao Mao fighting against the saint for Yuhuan in the hall this morning."

Zhang Ruohan snorted softly, and said: "Maomao has pursued me anyway, she is a person, she just can't stand others being kind to her. Once someone treats her well, she must repay it a hundred times and a thousand times. Yes At that time, I was really not sure whether she was really tempted or just confused. But I am also very familiar with Yuhuan, she is indeed a charming girl. The saint is Mao Mao's heart knot, she dared to fight against the saint for Yuhuan, It shows that she is really tempted. This is really different from me at the time, I was also separated from her by the saint at the time, but she didn't resist at all."

Why did Shen Sui feel so sour when she heard these words, even her heart was inexplicably sour.Pursing her lips unhappily, she also snorted as if infected by the lotus maid, but did not speak.

Zhang Ruohan stared at her for a while with a half-smile, and finally couldn't help laughing, stepped forward, raised her hand to untie her belt, and said:

"Look at you, the belts are tied in a mess, the inside is tied outside, and the outside is tied inside. The whole thing is misplaced. It's not as good as our little Huang'er."

Shen Sui pouted and looked down at her, like a pissed off daughter-in-law, letting Zhang Ruohan manipulate her.Zhang Ruohan tied her belt, and was just about to get a belt to tie it on her, but she suddenly embraced her from behind.Zhang Ruohan's heart is really helpless and sweet. Since having a child, this person has really come back to life day by day. Sometimes he behaves like Huang'er, just a jealous and angry child.

She raised her hand like a comforting child, touched her cheek and ear pinna backwards, and said slowly:

"Why are you jealous? I am your wife and I will be yours for the rest of my life."

"Well, I just want to hug you." Shen Sui said softly, "I'm a little tired."

"Okay." Zhang Ruohan said softly.

Shen Sui hugged her quietly for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"Lotus maid, what did you just say?"

"Huh?" Zhang Ruohan was puzzled.

"It's about the belt, what did you say just now?" Shen Sui asked again.

"I said, you are not as good as Xiao Huang'er wearing a belt."

"No, no, the previous sentence."

"Uh...the inside is tied to the outside, and the outside is tied to the inside?"

"Yes, that's the sentence." Shen Sui suddenly let go of his embrace, and stared in front of him in a daze, his eyes dazed, as if he was thinking about something, but couldn't figure it out.

Zhang Ruohan turned around and looked at her strangely, but she didn't dare to call her, she knew that Shen Sui must be thinking about something very important right now, if she interrupted hastily, she might miss the big deal.She silently helped Shen Sui fasten his belt, straighten his robe, and smooth out the wrinkles on his shoulders.After sorting it out, Shen Sui seemed to have finished thinking, sighed and said:

"Let's go, I'm hungry."

As he spoke, he took Zhang Ruohan's hand and walked out.

"Have you figured it out?" Zhang Ruohan asked her.

Shen Sui shook his head: "I had a flash of inspiration, but I didn't catch it."

"Don't worry, you will figure it out." Zhang Ruohan comforted her.

But there are only three days, she really doesn't have much time.The sage really likes to give her a time limit to solve the case. I don't know where the habit came from, Shen Sui slandered in his heart.

There was another cry of famine in the stomach, Shen Sui smiled wryly: "Lotus maid, I want to eat more tonight, because I was too hungry just now, I can't even turn my mind."

Zhang Ruohan was struck by her words, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"You...You idiot...Why are you so cute?" She laughed with tears in her eyes, and couldn't help but raise her hands to knead Shen Sui's cheeks.

Shen Sui was very innocent, so he could only giggle with her.

After that, Shen Sui and her family finished their dinner, and while the servants were clearing up the dishes, she first went to look for the bride:

"Xiaoniang, I want to know, can the body fragrance of the human body be artificially adjusted?" She asked, Shen Sui's knowledge was almost blank in this regard.

Xiong Niang gave an affirmative answer: "If you are a perfumer who is very familiar with the characteristics of spices and aromas, you can do it."

Shen Sui hurriedly asked: "You have been in contact with Yuhuan before, how do you think the fragrance on her body can be adjusted?"

Tiao Niang leaned against the table in the medicine hut and thought for a while, then got up, went to the medicine cabinet and started to get the medicine.She took a stick of musk from one drawer, and a bottle of potion from another.

Immediately she took a small bottle, cut a small piece from the piece of musk, melted it with water, and immediately the fragrance of the musk wafted out, and then she added a few drops of the liquid in the small bottle into the bottle, Use a pick to adjust.The aroma of the musk changes, and the smell becomes softer and more fragrant.Shen Sui leaned forward, frowned and carefully distinguished for a moment, then said:

"It's really like the fragrance from Yuhuan's body."

"Well, in my opinion, Yuhuan's scent is like a fusion of musk and rose oil."

"Ah, here is rose oil." Shen Sui pointed to the bottle and said.

"Yes, I will use it when I make snow skin ointment for the lotus maid," said the bride.

"You can also make skin cream?" Shen Sui said miraculously.

"Of course." The frown girl raised her eyebrows.

"But I haven't seen what kind of skin cream the lotus maid uses?" Shen Sui asked doubtfully.

Tiao Niang looked at her with a very disdainful look, and said: "The snow skin cream is on the desk of the make-up table in your room, but you never noticed it. Because you don't look like a girl. I have never used these things. Lian Mai usually uses skin cream before going to bed and after cleansing in the morning, and you two hardly go to bed and get up at the same time, so of course you won’t see her use it.”

Shen Sui scratched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly.It is true that she has not slept with Lotus Maid for a long time, especially after having Huang'er.She and the lotus maid took turns coaxing Huang'er to sleep, so either she would go to bed first or the lotus maid would go to sleep first.In the morning, Shen Sui had to practice early kung fu or go to court, so he got up earlier than both mother and daughter.But what Shen Sui remembered very clearly was that every time the lotus maid came to the bed, she could smell a faint fragrance, which was not her own fragrance.

"However, this fragrance seems to be missing something. The fragrance I smell seems to have a more pungent smell in it." Shen Suisi thought.

"No way, Yuhuan's scent is never pungent. Although her scent is strong, it's mellow and not choking." Liao Niang frowned.

The two were thinking carefully about the fragrance, at this moment, Hu Tuo suddenly grabbed a letter and rushed into the medicine hut, upon seeing Shen Sui, he said:

"Da Lang, a letter from Chang'an headquarters!"

"Give it to me!" Shen Sui almost jumped up, took the letter in Hutuo's hand, and saw a short line written on it:

The princess wanted to transfer troops from the northern border, but the order to transfer troops was almost intercepted by the Jinwu Guards, but has now been stopped in advance by our Qianyu Sect.

Shen Sui breathed a sigh of relief, and then his head ached.

Mao Mao couldn't help it anymore, it seems that the matter of Yuhuan really drove her into a hurry.

The author has something to say: I know that some friends will be dissatisfied with Mao Mao's performance in these incidents, feel that she is selfish, and feel that she is hesitant to go through fire and water for Yang Yuhuan.But if you put yourself in another place and think about it, you will know how difficult it is for her.What she has to consider is not only Yuhuan, many people's wealth and lives are tied to her, this is not something that can be solved by being angry at the crown.Thinking about Wu Sangui's anger at the championship back then, the reasons were very complicated, and it was not all because of Chen Yuanyuan. It can only be said that he chose the path of Jiangqing after comprehensive consideration of multiple factors.Later generations magnified one of the factors of his "being a beauty".Looking at Maomao today, the actions she takes are the same.Even if she really loses her mind and wants to mobilize troops to rebel, the people around her will stop her from doing it, because it is indeed unwise, and brainless anger will only cause unnecessary sacrifices.If Mao Mao is alone today, then she will go through fire and water for Yuhuan, regardless of her life, it is her own choice, and it will not implicate anyone.But she is not, she is responsible for many people, including her two best friends, and their young children.This is the burden on the superior.
