Sheng Shian

Shen is famous after Zhonghuiyuan, and it is even rarer to come to her.

Wentong comes here quite often.

Although it is not Huiyuan, Wentong is also on the list, and has received a lot of olive branches.

She doesn't want to believe it, Shen Shi is also a person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich.

until……

Ran Niang smiled bitterly: "My lord, you obviously said something so ugly, I still don't believe it, and you force me to die for love, it's really ridiculous..."

The imperial examination is approaching, and her fate with Shen Shi will come to an end.

Ordinary people don't care about it, and when he becomes a high-ranking official, he won't even be considered a passer-by.

a widow.

She really didn't want to see Shen Shi avoiding her like a snake for a day.

On the eve of the palace examination, she went to the river to look for Shen Shi.

She thought, forget it if you can’t find it.

But Shen is there.

This is where she and Shen Shi first met.

He still had dark circles under his eyes that hadn't slept for several days, and he didn't go to rest, looking at the setting sun here.

Shen Shi said, "Mother Ran, I'm old-fashioned and boring, so I'm not suitable for you."

She thought this meant that Shen cared about her.

She was ecstatic to tell him what she wanted.

But I heard Shen Shi say: "You are kind to me, but I won't marry a widow, Wen Tong is willing."

"Mother Ran, you have to cherish the person in front of you."

She finally woke up from the dream.

Three years.

Relying on the initial bit of obsession, she told herself that he was just avoiding her because of his friend's favor and not to be bullied.

Unexpectedly, the truth is that she is a widow.

Ran Niang didn't cry.

She can't cry.

It can't be so ugly.

But she couldn't help it, she grabbed Shen Shi's hand, tears couldn't stop falling from her eyes, she pretended to be calm and nothing happened, but physical sadness couldn't deceive anyone, she said: "Then why are you Don't wear a sachet, didn't you say that you would rather eat without meat than live without fragrance? Why don't you wear..."

Shen Shi looked at her indifferently and said, "When you get along with me, you mostly sigh and say I'm dumb. Only when you're with Wen Tong can you laugh so happily."

She choked up and said, "I don't want to listen to this...why do you make decisions for me..."

She saw the incense in her hand. It was because there were too many mosquitoes recently. She planned to close the shop for a few days. The incense was used to repel insects. She gave this incense to Shen Shi, and she said: "You saw that I used it, you know what this is..."

She said: "If you die, I will die for you. If you don't die, I will leave the capital and won't cause you any more trouble."

Shen Shi said, "Mother Ran, I...don't like you."

She could no longer remember how she left in a broken heart that day.

But there was a person waiting for her at the noodle shop, who cried with her all night even though it was the palace exam the next day.

Explain that after the exam tomorrow, I will eat the No. [-] Scholar noodles made by her.

But the other person didn't seem to know her.

Shen won the first prize.

Become more high-spirited.

He will face villains with ease, he will be eloquent and make friends with others, and his eyes are just like what he said, not staying on her at all.

As for that fragrance, that love, that past...

She died once for him, and she won't die a second time.

Ran Niang's eyes were red, but she still smiled and said: "I am very happy now, please don't feel guilty, sir."

When he was young, he was a guest of the Toad Palace, not by the plum blossoms but by the willows.

Funny and sad.

Since when has everyone changed.

She never thought about being with Wen Tong, but during the days after getting married, she did feel relieved.

She is very relaxed in front of Wentong.

It was very tiring in front of Shen Shi.

how so……

Shen bowed, bent his waist to an arc parallel to the ground, and saluted Ran Niang: "The old year is gone, and everything is renewed. The past goes away with the wind, and the days and nights after that should be cherished." time."

"I've bothered you a lot today, so I'll take my leave first."

The footsteps of the little maid sounded outside the hall, and there seemed to be the soft sound of teacups colliding.

Ran Niang wiped away the unshed tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a light smile, "From now on, my lord, don't drop books at will."

Shen nodded, turned and left.

Ran Niang didn't send it off.

"Why did Mr. Shen leave just after the tea was brewed?" the little maid complained.

Ran Niang read in a low voice: "The old year will be eliminated on the next eve, and tomorrow will be a new year."

The little girl said vaguely: "Isn't it just New Year's Eve, I know, Mr. Shen must be in a hurry to go home for the New Year."

Two flowers bloom, each is well.

Some things are just reminiscences, some people are waiting.

Ran Niang smiled when she heard the words, and looked out the window: "It's almost a new year, Wentong, when will you come back..."

……

Shen hurried all the way back to the mansion.

Kindness and gentleness rushed to deliver the gifts, and only now began to brush the paste on both sides of the study.

"Click to the left, then to the left." Sheng Yi looked at the position below.

Shunhe turned to the left.

"It's over!" Shouted kindly, then shook his head and said, "No, no, a little bit above."

Shun He flew down from the eaves, took two pieces of red paper, slapped them with his palm, and walked away without even looking at them.

Cheng Yi was pulled back by the collar, "It's crooked! It's crooked!!!"

Shunhe stopped, looked at it, and found that it was neatly pasted, and asked, "Where is it crooked?"

Grabbing the gap with good intentions, he broke away from his hand, tapped his toes, flew up to the corner of the eaves, lifted the red lantern, and said with a smile: "The lantern is crooked!"

Shun He chased after him, and the two competed in the air for a long time before returning to the door of the study.

He kindly asked: "Tell me, what is the master doing in there? He hasn't come out for a long time."

Shun He said he didn't know.

Shengyi broke in directly.

I saw that among the books piled all over the floor, Shen Shi found a very old book that was almost torn apart.

"Found it!" Shen Shi held the book in his hands, and was extremely pleasantly surprised. Fortunately, he never lost the book, and there were only a few books left about the original owner.

She closed the door again with good intentions, and pushed Shun He out.

Shun He asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

He said kindly: "Run, the master turned the books into a mess, I don't want to clean up for him during the Chinese New Year!"

Then, a black tiger attacked Shun He out of his heart, "It's enough for me to take care of you!"

The two happily started to move.

Inside, Shen opened the pages of the book carefully.

He could probably spell out half of the story from Ran Niang, but what did the original owner think?

He found a piece of grass paper with two sizes of characters on it.

The big characters are written in scribbled white, as if they are full of thoughts, crushed between every turning point, and they don't want people to see clearly.

——Knowing the king's heart is like the sun and the moon, but the gentleman does not take away others.

The small characters were added later, the writing was not steady, and the writing was not finished.

——There is no me here, and this matter has both sides.If we can live and die together...

Then there was a sentence without beginning and end, you can't die.

Shen knew that he was talking about Ran Niang.

Ran Niang can't die, so he can't die.

Originally, I lit the incense based on my own selfishness, but when the incense burned out, I probably regretted it.

I don't know how much survival will I have to use to survive until the next day's palace exam...

It turned out that he came back to life not only because of Shen Ziqing's obsession, but also because of Shen Shi's obsession.

Shen Shi tidied up the house sighingly.

He put the old books on the top of the bookcase, saw a statue of Confucius in the corner, paused for a moment, and suddenly thought of a question.

Why did Wen Tong's seemingly frank statement explain his doubts so appropriately.

How did he know about Xiang?

Shen Shi took out the statue of Confucius, put it on the desk, lit three incense sticks, and bowed.

There were fireworks going off outside the house, and they muttered kindly: "Master, it's the New Year!"

Shen smiled.

New Year's Eve.

No matter how impermanent the world is, the result is not too bad. He is alive, and Ran Niang is also perfect, which is what the original owner hoped for.

Why not another kind of fulfillment.

Shen likes to be lively, so he asked the people in the room to set up two tables to gather together for the New Year's Eve and celebrate.

He also wanted to do this in the past, but carrying the name of the Taifu, he was a bit deserted, and he could not lose any of his etiquette.

Graciously holding a piece of shredded sweet potato in front of her, she winked and threw it into Shun He's bowl: "Sweet, sweet, sweet!"

Shun He's century-old facial paralysis instantly turned into a bitter gourd face. He closed his eyes and ate it like he was on the execution ground.

Tears burst out of a good smile, and he pressed the end of his eyes with his fingertips, "I'm dying of laughter..."

He laughed for a while, then suddenly stood up on tiptoe, stretched out his hand and waved it twice in front of Shen Shi's eyes, "Master, why did you stare at me in a daze all night, the food is almost cold!"

Shen Shi blinked awkwardly, pointed at the plate of shredded sweet potatoes with a smile, "take a chopstick for me too."

"Say it earlier!" Sheng Yi picked up the plate and poured half of it into the bowl carelessly, "Sweet, sweet, sweet!"

Shen looked at the half bowl of dessert, and his eyelids twitched. In fact, eating alone is quite good.

Sometimes the rules of respect and inferiority are still necessary.

Shen Shi picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, his tongue was so numb.

Why does Liu Changze like to eat this kind of thing?

He raised his eyes to look at Shengyi's position, which was directly opposite him.

For the first time in more than ten years, Liu Changze was not present on New Year's Eve.

Unknowingly, Shen ate all the desserts in the bowl, rinsed his mouth with tea, his mouth was full of sweet and greasy, and he didn't have the appetite to eat anything else.

He left the banquet early, and everyone in the mansion was in the inner courtyard, and the only bright spot was the front yard.

Shen Shi walked to the front yard alone and sat for a while. The table was covered with melons and fruits, and a stack of white jade cakes.

He leisurely grabbed two handfuls of sautéed melon seeds, knocked them, and divided the shells into several piles, as if he was about to march.

Little Hou Ye's specialty is the melon seed chessboard.

Shen Shi pinned a dusty melon seed shell between two fingers, and it wavered among the three piles of melon seed shells: "New Year's Eve... the performance..."

He was fascinated.

Suddenly, he saw a pampered hand pass his line of sight, paused for a few seconds, grabbed his paws instead, and sat on the other side of the small elm arrow-legged table.

Shen Shi suddenly went to look at him, the visitor was still wearing a palace banquet gown, scarlet clothes and jade crown, expensive, he said dully: "Your Majesty is not at a family banquet at this hour..."

Liu Changze raised his stern jaw line, knocked a melon seed, and said in a cool tone: "You instigated that brat from the Imperial Academy to perform the performance?"

"Wentong?"

Shen looked at him knowingly.

Liu Changze's nose bridge was very straight, and when the light came on, a shadow fell on the side of his face, so handsome that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

Shen Shi realized that he had been waiting for Liu Changze to appear.

The reunion dinner lacks the young master, no matter how many people there are, it is not considered a reunion dinner.
