On the winter day of the tenth year of Zhengyun, Shen Menghan was ordered to play the piano at the banquet held by the big family outside the city. The big family has always liked young boys and girls. He paid generously, so the madam thought about it and agreed.

Ran Ziyun was absolutely unwilling, and was severely broken by the bustard, and she was locked up directly.

Shen Menghan was born with picturesque eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, but with deliberate dressing, he couldn't tell the difference between men and women.

During the banquet, the cups were pushed and changed, and the taste of the wine changed when it was hot.

No matter how good the young Shen Menghan's martial arts was, he was only a six-year-old child back then.

He resolutely gave up the qin and escaped from the other courtyard desperately.It was also luck, when he was desperate, he bumped into the prince's car returning to the city head-on.

Hearing the dispute, the young prince raised the curtain, glanced at him casually, and then smiled: "Yo, whose child is lost?"

On a cold winter night, he wore thin clothes that were definitely not worn by a good family, with brows and eyebrows painted brightly, even ordinary rural people could recognize his identity clearly.

The well-informed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to be blind, got out of the car and wrapped him in his own robe, felt his involuntary trembling, patted him and said, "Don't be afraid, brother will take you home."

Shen Menghan gently held Shen Ying's hand, and said softly: "Seventh Brother will send you back to the palace, Seventh Brother can walk with you for a while."

Not long after that, I heard the news that the big family had been punished.

Later, he was sent to Beizhao by Shen Zhuo, and only met Shen Jie in a hurry on the day he left Beijing, but Shen Jie had long since forgotten him.

Young, my young, and the young of people.

Before he was Shen Jie's younger brother, he had already experienced the innate compassion for the poor and the weak from him.

He has received too little warmth, and if others have given him a bit of warmth, he is willing to return it to make the world spring.

Miyagi was silent, and a few civet cats crept through with light steps.

Shen Ying said softly: "This is Empress Qi's cat."

Shen Menghan paused, and asked nonchalantly, "Does Concubine Qi like cats?"

Shen Ying nodded and said enviously, "Everyone loves cats."

It's a pity that the nanny doesn't allow her to raise them, and my elder sister doesn't like these things. The whole palace is afraid that she is the only one who doesn't have many civet cats in the palace.

When they returned to the pavilion, someone unexpectedly arrived at the Yin Pavilion earlier than them.

Zhou Qian had tea in the main hall, and when he saw Shen Menghan and Xie Chenyan coming back, he gave them a reproachful look.

More than a dozen big men and women with their luggage, respectfully waiting in a row.

All of them have big arms and round waists, but they are not martial arts practitioners.

Xie Chenyan and Xiaohua Liangyue looked at each other, and silently took a step back towards the door.

Shen Menghan was also very helpless, and couldn't help but think of what he said in his heart yesterday: "That King Jing is well-known in Jinling City as an idiot and incompetent, but there is a lady named Jing in his mansion, who was born in our building, and her insights are quite unusual."

Thinking about it, that idea would not have been conceived by Shen Xuan, it must have come from Mrs. Jing.

Even Shen Menghan wanted to have a good drink for her.

Most of these cooks and husbands are benefactors, they have already entered the door of the Yin Pavilion, and if they are sent back, Prince Jing's Mansion must not dare to take them in anymore.

Shen Menghan said: "I'm really ashamed that I caused you to lose your position in the palace. If you are willing to stay, the moon silver will be the same as in the palace. If you don't want to, I am willing to send money to you to return to your hometown."

Those people looked at each other in blank dismay, with shaken expressions on their faces, but no one dared to move.

Shen Menghan could only say: "Who is the master of Zuixianju?"

A middle-aged man came out and said: "I am next."

Shen Menghan said: "Zuixianju has been closed for a long time, and the people in the city have been thinking about it for a long time, and they are quite regretful. If the master is willing to return to Zuixianju, that would be great."

The master had tears in his eyes, he hesitated for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said: "I really don't want to part with my shop, but I'm afraid His Royal Highness King Jing will go to my shop to pester you again."

Shen Menghan murmured: "If that's the case, master can come and look for me in the hidden pavilion. If it's really some prince or noble who took it by force, I will stand up for you."

After several discussions, a carriage got out of the Yin Pavilion, and several masters from afar were sent home. There were two masters who had no one at home, and they voluntarily stayed in the Yin Pavilion, so they were also arranged to stay.

Xie Chenyan was even more sincerely happy, and sent the master of Zuixianju far away, and praised him all the way. The master was especially happy to see that he really liked his cooking skills, and promised that if there was any hidden food in the future, People in the pavilion go to Zuixianju to have dinner, and they don't have to pay for the meal if they show their waist cards.

Xie Chenyan felt that something was wrong, after all there were so many people in Yin Pavilion, what if there were one or two rascals among them?

After haggling, I reluctantly agreed to get a [-]% discount on food except drinks.

Ah Wu was one of the rascals, he beat his chest and stomped his feet after listening to their young master's words, and boasted: "Young master is really wise."

Qi Mao stayed in Yin Pavilion after he came out from Taipinghou's Mansion. He is now a member of Yin Pavilion with a formal establishment. Considering that he has to go out to do errands frequently, he told the accountant to distribute the monthly money directly to Ah Wu.

Ah Wu seems to have become the richest subordinate in their Zhaoyuemen, and Ah Jia and the others are envious.

Now that Zuixianju has reopened, there is naturally another good place for Ah Wu to donate generously.

However, that's all for later.

After seeing off the master of Zuixianju, Xie Chenyan stomped back to the pavilion.

Although the winter in the south of the Yangtze River has not yet snowed, the scenery is desolate and the vegetation is withered, which is not so cold.

Passing the Wancui Pavilion, Xie Chenyan was stunned for a long time when the pond was full of remnant lotuses and fallen leaves.

He stared blankly at the scenery in front of him, his eyes were moist for no reason.

After a long time, he felt some tugging under his feet, and when he lowered his eyes, it turned out that Ah Huang was biting the hem of his clothes.

He squatted down and hugged Ah Huang up.

Ah Huang closed his eyes comfortably, and spit out a lotus seed in his palm.

"Can live!"

"Can't live!"

Xiaohua and Liangyue refuse to give in to each other.

Xie Chenyan was even more at a loss.

Xiaohua said confidently: "Brother Menghan's room is warm, just like in summer, so he will definitely be able to live."

Liangyue said: "No matter how warm it is without the sun, it won't bloom."

Xie Chenyan stared at Xiao Hua: "You are not allowed to call him that!"

Xiaohua pretended: "He's older than me! It's brother Menghan!"

Xie Chen was extremely smoky: "You are not allowed to scream!"

Xiaohua said: "Ask Brother Menghan to comment!"

Xie Chenyan snatched the lotus seeds away from her aggressively: "I will grow it myself! I don't need you!"

Walking out of the outer hall, he came back aggressively and said, "There can only be one little flower in our pavilion!"

Xiaohua thought about it, and agreed: "I can't have two Xiaohua, change your horse's name!"

Xie Chenyan said: "You came late, you changed your name!"

First come, first served, justified.

Xiaohua took it for granted, and pondered: "My name is Huahua?"

Liangyue said: "Huahua has it too."

Xiaohua said again: "Ah Hua?"

Liangyue wondered: "There are also..."

"big flower?"

"Have……"

"Second flower?"

"Also..."

"Three flowers?"

"and also……"

Xiaohua broke down: "I don't want to be called Sihua!"

Xie Chenyan affirmed: "That's it."

No one in the Jianghu knew that the name of Xiang Siniang, who was the most famous Gu in the Yin Pavilion later, came from this way.

Xie Chenyan scanned around, found a celadon brush washer on Shen Menghan's desk, and carefully added half a bowl of water into it.

After thinking for a while, he went out of the door with a brush in his hand, filled a half-basin of water in the lotus pond of Bancui Pavilion, stood by the pond and thought for a while, then plunged into the water again, grabbed a handful of pond mud and threw it in the brush wash. inside.Just now he returned to the room contentedly.

"Can't even get close to the fifth prince in Tangquan Palace?" Shen Menghan frowned.

"Yes." The dark guard replied.

As soon as Xie Chenyan came in and went out, everyone was used to it, and no one cared about it.

Xixuan said: "Why don't you go and have a look tonight."

Shen Menghan pondered for a long while and said: "No need, I will go in person tomorrow."

The guards are strict, even if Xi Xuan gets close, he can't confront the fifth prince, so it's better to come to the door to ask for an audience, he has the order of Habayashi, and no one can stop him.

Xi Xuan and the hidden guard retreated, Shen Menghan summoned Miao Zhiguang again and said, "Yuan He wants to reverse the case against General Ji, so I would like to trouble you to go to Beiji City."

Miao Zhiguang responded, "It should."

After discussing, Miao Zhiguang was sent away.Shen Menghan thought about writing a reply letter to Yuan He, but suddenly found that the brush on the case could not be found.

Just now Xie Chenyan seemed to have taken something from the case, so Shen Menghan called softly: "Little Yan."

It was related to his father, Shen Menghan thought that he should also inform Xie Chenyan.

Xie Chenyan went down across the pond, and was taking a bath in the verandah, when he heard Shen Menghan calling him from afar, he answered and ran out in a hurry, covered in water, not even wearing any clothes.

He has good hearing and knows that there is no one else in the room, so he is not on guard.

The young man was at the age of rapid growth, with long legs and thin waist, and his whole body was slender and flexible. On his exquisite skeleton, there was a thin layer of muscles, neither thick nor thick, nor too thin.

Water drops fell to the ground along the snow-white ankles, Shen Menghan's heart was in a mess.

The voice was choked in his throat, and he said hoarsely after a while: "Come out after putting on your clothes."

Xie Chenyan didn't understand, so his snow-white feet paused following his words, and they rolled back and forth on the ground, leaving two long water marks, before turning around and returning to the verandah.

The wet hair was even blacker, and the water droplets moved along the curves before falling to the ground lightly.

The earth dragon was smoking vigorously, and quickly evaporated the water marks left by Xie Chenyan, leaving no trace.

Shen Menghan even wanted to persuade him to stay.

He has no doubt that if he has desires, Xie Chenyan will offer himself without hesitation.

Even if he doesn't know what it means at all.

But, is this fair to Xie Chenyan?

Xie Chenyan hurriedly gathered his clothes and ran back barefoot.

Shen Menghan threw a quick cloth towel to him: "Wipe your hair."

Xie Chenyan sat at his feet, wiped his hair and asked, "Brother Meng Han?"

He raised his arm to wipe his hair, and the red marks on his wrists were exposed. Just after taking a bath, the moist wrists were particularly eye-catching.

Shen Menghan resisted not to touch it, and wanted to ask him where the brush was, but he said: "Your cousin is going to reverse the case for your father."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that Yuan He was Xie Chenyan's real brother, and he was Xie Chenyan's brother?

Xie Chenyan was also ignorant: "Cousin?"

Shen Menghan was a bit apprehensive, and said in a low voice: "We went to Beiji City before, and we met brother Yuanhe, his mother, Ji, is your father's cousin."

Xie Chenyan's arms trembled slightly, his expression under the cloth scarf was blank.

He moved his fingers mechanically, slowly wiped his hair, and replied calmly, "Oh."

He didn't know who Shen Menghan was talking about.

He doesn't remember.

But he finally understood that what was abnormal in this world was himself.

Shen Menghan failed to notice his strangeness, and continued: "Miao Zhiguang's father once worked under your father's side, and he happened to be a guest in the grassland during Ji's case, so he escaped."

Shen Menghan said softly: "Yang Jin is dead, there shouldn't be any resistance in the Beizhao Dynasty. If you want to witness it with your own eyes, you can go to Beiji City with Miao Zhiguang."

Xie Chenyan whispered: "I don't want to."

He didn't want to, he didn't care about it at all, he knew that Shen Menghan would take care of everything for him.

What he fears most is, will there come a day when he won't even remember who Shen Menghan is?
