Shen Bai and his group came out of the west courtyard with no change in expression, and Shunzi, Yuemei and Linglong accompanied him to the east courtyard.

Speaking of Shen's residence is also interesting, there are two housekeepers, one lives in the east courtyard and the other lives in the west courtyard, and the separation happens to be two corners of the residence.

The two courtyards are said to be a part of Shen's residence, but each has a corner gate, people in the courtyard cannot enter the inner courtyard of Shen's residence, they are usually connected and each has a small gate.

Of course, except for the two stewards, they can go in and out on their own.

'Trespassing the inner mansion' is also one of Xing'er's crimes when she went to the garden to confront Shen Bai.

He had never been to the east courtyard, including Shen Bai before.

Seeing Shen Bai coming in, the girl serving in the courtyard shouted nervously, "Ah, Young Master Shen is here."

After finishing speaking, a large group of women came out of the house, all of them were Shen Fu's family members.

"See you young master." Shen Fu's wife led several people to kneel down and salute.

"We're all a family, so you're welcome." Shen Bai waved his hands and walked into the hall.

The two courtyards in charge of the Shen Mansion are separate. Although they are inside the Shen Mansion, the family members cannot go in and out through the gate, but go in and out through the back door of the Shen Mansion through the corner gate. loud.

Therefore, it is normal for the family members in charge to have maids to serve them.

Shen Fu's courtyard has three entrances, which is enough for their family to live in. In the prosperous area of ​​Bianjing inner city, even the Fuyin of Shen's mansion can have such a courtyard with three entrances, even ordinary officials can't dare to compare.

The interior design of Shen Fu's hall is extravagant, completely different from the elegance of the main courtyard and the main hall of Shen Mansion, but a kind of ostentation like a nouveau riche, and it is far different from the simplicity of the west courtyard.

Shen Bai sat in the main seat of the middle hall, and Shen Fu's wife immediately arranged for someone to serve tea: "Hurry up and serve good tea."

"Shen Guanshi has served for many years, and my young master has never been here, but let his family members come to see him." Shen Bai waved his hand and said generously.

"Yes, yes!" Mrs. Shen Fu smiled, and turned around to bring a boy and two girls.

"Kowtow to the young master quickly." She ordered the three people behind her.

"See you, young master." The three knelt on the ground, and one of them, a girl of fifteen or sixteen, looked up at him a few times.

"Get up, you have both sons and daughters, and you are lucky to be in charge, Linglong." Shen Baiyang started.

Linglong took out two hairpins and a jade token to reward.

"I came in a hurry, so I'll give you something small first." Shen Bai said with a smile.

"How dare you be, how dare you be." Mrs. Shen Fu smiled and winked.

Shen Fu's eldest daughter returned the gift to Shen Bai and accepted the hairpin and jade token.

"I'm used to living in the mansion!" Shen Bai asked.

"Thanks to Master's grace, our family was able to change our surname to Shen, and we must always remember to serve the Shen family and share the worries of the young master." Mrs. Shen Fu returned.

Shen Bai nodded, thinking to himself that your surname is not Shen, you are really filial, but thinking about it in his heart, his face remained motionless and he said: "I have a heart, I have a heart!"

The girl below handed over the tea, he picked up the teacup and stroked it lightly, but didn't drink it.

"Is the eldest sister married?" Everyone including Yuemei and the others were confused when asked this nonsensical question, but Shen Fu's family, who started the attack, were taken aback for a moment, but immediately beamed with joy.

Mrs. Shen Fu quickly shook her head: "Our family is all Shen family slaves, and the marriage of our children requires the young master's permission. Our Zhi'er has a gentle temperament and looks good. If the young master speaks, it will be her blessing."

After speaking, she looked at Shen Bai and smiled, but Shen Bai returned her daughter's smile.

Amid everyone's inexplicable doubts, he put down the teacup and left leisurely.

"Respectfully send off the young master!" Shen Fu's family sent to the gate of the courtyard, and inside was the inner mansion, they were not allowed to enter.

Shen Bai lightly walked through the corridor, walked to the lobby of the mansion, looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, and asked Yuemei who was behind her thoughtfully: "What kind of tea do I usually drink?"

Yuemei stepped forward and returned: "Master Hui, the tea you drank was sent from the palace by the imperial concubine. It is a tribute bud jade tea from Jiangnan West Road. The empress knows that you like to drink it. She will reward you with ten catties of offerings in a year." you."

Shen Bai raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Hmph, does the tea smell like orchids?"

"Yes, this tea is made of orchid fragrance, which has the temperament only of the top Jiangnan tea." Yuemei said nothing, and bowed respectfully to the young master.

Yuemei is the girl in charge, so she doesn't need to reply like this on weekdays, but at this moment, she really admires her young master, she can see the subtleties, but she doesn't show the truth on weekdays.

Although it was just a few words that everyone didn't understand, Yuemei's heart was like a mirror, especially when Shen Bai asked about tea, it was by no means aimless.

Shen Bai smiled at her, turned around and went back to the study.

Yuemei maintained the half-bow movement, feeling that the young master's smile was unusually dazzling today.

Shen Bai went back to the study room, ordered everyone to go down, opened the hidden compartment of the bookcase, moved one bookcase away, and inside was the tunnel of Shen's residence.

Go in from the inside, light the lamp, and it is full of gold, silver and decorations.

This is the Shen residence's collection, with no less than 30 taels of gold and silver, and there are more than ten pieces of treasures as rewards.

Although there is also a large amount of gold and silver in the warehouse outside, it is only about tens of thousands of taels. This is the Mingxiu plank road of Shen's mansion, and he is also well versed in the prudence of scholars and not revealing their wealth.

Open a bookcase from a closet, and inside is a stack of papers.

Looking at the "Deeds of Sale" one by one, Shen Bai smiled.

After lunch, he sat quietly and rested for a while, when Shunzi sent word that someone from the palace had arrived.

When Shen Bai went to the hall, a guard stood there waiting.

"Mr. Shen, Madam knows that you are safe, so I specially request to take you into the palace for a while." The visitor said respectfully.

Shen Bai nodded: "Please allow me to change later."

The guard made a gesture of please, and went out of the mansion to wait.

Shen Bai went back to his room and changed into a robe with a white background pattern. The robe was embroidered with light green bamboo leaves. Although Shen Bai himself was not very handsome, and his body was slightly thin like a literati, but after changing into the clothes, , but there is no lack of temperament that can be called a scholar, and it is also the calm demeanor of a noble son.

He took a fan and went out of the mansion accompanied by Yuemei.

At the gate of Shen's mansion, a carriage parked low-key at the door, but four imperial guards with knives rode on the horses to guard them. The guard who came into the mansion stood in front of the gate and watched Shen Bai get into the car, and watched him and Yuemei go up. Finally, he stepped forward and rode on a bay red horse, three riders cleared the way, and two riders from the rear headed towards Da Nei.

One day after crossing, he left the mansion and entered the palace. Although he was very curious about the street scene of the Song Dynasty outside the carriage, he knew that there were no merchants and pedestrians from Shen's mansion to Da Nei. This street is close to Da Nei, and only those who belong to the ministers and bureaucrats are eligible. Live in downtown.

The carriage drove quickly, and before entering the inner city, the guarded inner guards inspected it, but they did not lift the curtain of the carriage to check their identity.

Entering from the Shenwu Gate, after driving slowly for more than ten minutes, we arrived at the Shenwei Gate. From here on, no one is allowed to get off the horse and sedan chair and walk in.

Of the three huge palace gates, he can only enter through the rightmost palace gate. The main gate in the middle is only available to the royal family, and it needs the emperor's permission to open it.

Following the guards through several deep gates of the palace wall and entering several palace gates, the guards all retreated after a salute, in exchange for three guiding eunuchs.

"Master Shen, please!" The leading eunuch is Quan Gonggong from his sister Shen Guifei's palace.

"Thank you, father-in-law." Shen Bai returned the salute to him calmly, in exchange for father-in-law's admiring eyes.

Emperor Yu Wentuo had three concubines, apart from the position of empress, concubine Shen was the highest rank, being a noble concubine, second only to empress.

Shen Bai followed the father-in-law behind, but his mind was recalling this elder sister, who entered the palace at the age of 14, and it has been five years since she gave birth to the third son of the emperor, Yu Wen'an.

All brain-filling memories are just cramming for him.

Although Shen Bai's memories are completely inherited, all memories are like movies, and they are invisible even if they are not released.

All thoughts turned into delusions after entering Concubine Shen's Qin'an Palace.

"See the imperial concubine." Shen Bai and Yue Mei respectfully knelt down and saluted.

"Come here, Xiaobai, the brat is still talking about politeness, let my sister see if you have been fooled by the water!"

He raised his head with a buzzing in his head, and saw a beautiful young woman with moon-like moist eyes, willow leaf-curved eyebrows, delicate and delicate face, a pair of thin and bright red lips, without too much jewelry, just It is a phoenix orb hairpin on the head, and two small pearl earlobes on the ears, but it looks dignified and elegant.

"Sister." This title was spoken involuntarily, but in exchange for Shen Guifei's slightly raised lips, her smile was full of warmth.

"Sit here, Sister." Concubine Shen Gui waved her hand, and the maids serving beside her were obviously used to seeing the siblings get along with each other, and they all smiled softly.
