September is full of flowers

After Shen Man and Lian Yi had finished their breakfast, they were going back to Zangshuge to continue reading.Lian Yi procrastinated and acted reluctantly as the boss, encouraging Shen Man to do this and that, but he did not mention the matter of going back to Zangshuge.

Shen Man knew this well, but didn't point it out.Although Lian Yi didn't want to go back to Cangshu Pavilion, Shen Man wanted to go back and continue reading wholeheartedly.Although the "Jiao Zheng Pu" is obscure, it seems to be the only book that I can study by myself. It just so happens that the strange things that happened in the palace are also related to the music. Although it may be a little late for me to study this book at this moment, it may be necessary. Time, I can help a group of Tang girls...

Shen Man looked at the blue sky and thought to himself, wondering if he will see her today...

"What are you looking at?" A voice came from behind.Tang Jiuyue wore a white porcelain mask, black hair like a waterfall, and walked over lightly, as if she was alone without any company.

"Aren't you two planning to go back to Zangshu Pavilion?" Tang Jiuyue's eyes moved slightly, she glanced at Shen Man, and finally landed on Lian Yi.

Lian Yi said quite confidently, "I just finished drinking the porridge you brought, but someone sprayed it on my face. I went to wash up for the dignity of the gate supervisor of Tianwenmen, and you came just as soon as I sat down. Blame me." As he spoke, he put all the responsibility on Shen Man's head.

When Shen Man saw that Tang Jiuyue really came, he was secretly happy, as if the sky had become clearer.

"What Supervisor Lian Yi said is true, I accidentally choked on her and hurt her..."

Tang Jiuyue's attitude was unpredictable, and after a moment's pause, she said, "Lian Yi, you go out with me on business today."

Lian Yi was naturally happy, and hurriedly said, "Okay, do you want to investigate the matter between Ning Chun and Shang Shuling?"

"One more thing," Tang Jiuyue said, "Princess Decheng said that a maid in her palace also died."

Lian Yi and Shen Man were startled, another one died? !

Shen Man felt ominous in his heart, and asked, "Can I go with you too?"

Tang Jiuyue stared at her without saying a word.

Lian Yi smiled and said, "I have a hunch that things will go much smoother if the water-deficient follower, why not just let her follow? Besides, I am not in the library, so I don't know what troubles will be caused by letting her here alone. If someone finds her gone……"

The implication of this is that he is afraid that Concubine Ning Gui will take Shen Man away when the two of them are away.

Either Tang Jiuyue didn't think of this, or she made a fortune before going out today. If Shen Man is taken away, strange things will happen in the palace again; if Shen Man is not taken away, there may be a glimmer of hope to solve these mysteries .

Shen Man also wanted to go out with them, after all such opportunities are very rare, to be able to go out of the palace with Tang Jiuyue and Lian Yi to handle errands is simply a godsend opportunity.One of these two is a master of yin and yang in the world, and the other is a leader in the Five Elements Gate. Just learning a little superficial knowledge is enough to transform Shen Man. Since she begged Tang Jiuyue to take her in, she would naturally not be a waste.

Tang Jiuyue was silent for a moment, a pair of light brown pupils stared at Shen Man for a long time, his secretive eyes made Shen Man feel mixed feelings, not knowing what this man was thinking.

After what seemed like a long wait, finally, Tang Jiuyue said in an unhurried voice, "Well then, Shen Man will come with us too."

Although keeping her in the palace seems to be able to solve the mystery one step earlier, but without her by my side, I feel uneasy.If Concubine Ning Gui came here, no one would be able to stop her.Therefore, it is more appropriate to bring her by your side.

At the south gate of Taige, a canopy carriage drove out.

There were three women sitting in the carriage, the one in the middle was closing her eyes and resting her mind, the woman in red on the left lifted the curtain to look outside, her pair of loving phoenix eyes curiously scanned the bustling scene on the street.The girl on the right straightened her waist, fearing that she would make a mistake to the other two stunning women in the car.

One "dream" technique, three lives.

Shen Man took a peek at Tang Jiuyue and Lian Yi, but felt that the journey he had with them seemed to be a long one.

The carriage stopped in front of Shang Shuling's mansion.

Shen Man got out of the carriage first, Lian Yi almost jumped off, and Tang Jiuyue stepped down gracefully on the stone steps moved by the coachman.

Looking at the plaque in front of the gate of Shangshu Mansion, Tang Jiuyue frowned slightly.

Lian Yi glanced at Tang Jiuyue and said, "The Dafeng Dynasty has the 'twelve ranks of official positions' created by you. All officials have restrictions on expenses and regulations to show their respective ranks. Although I don't know much about it, the Shangshu Order Is the door plaque of the mansion out of order?"

Tang Jiuyue said, "Go in and talk about it."

White sails and white mourning ball flowers were hung on the door of Shang Shuling's mansion, and the servants and maidservants in the mansion were all dressed in mourning clothes.Seeing the three people in extraordinary clothes coming, the steward Chen Li came out first to welcome them. First he announced his name, and then several people entered with their belts bowed.

Lian Yi sarcastically said as he walked, "Chen Steward, do you know who we are? When other people saw the person next to me, they were all greeted by the master kneeling down. It's good for your Shangshu Mansion to send you a housekeeper to lead the way. , aren’t you afraid of giving in to our gate supervisor?”

Shen Man peeked at Tang Jiuyue, she didn't seem to be unhappy because of etiquette.

Chen Li hurriedly explained, "Reporting to the gate supervisor and Lianmen supervisor is not because the Shangshu Mansion intentionally neglected it, but because the lord in the mansion has already left. After hearing the news of the lord, the madam fell ill and is still on the sickbed. It is really impossible to go out to greet each other, so I can only let the younger one lead the way for the two gate supervisors, please forgive me for the sins of the gate supervisor and the joint supervisor."

Lian Yi and Tang Jiuyue looked at each other when she heard the words, raised her eyebrows and said, "How long has your wife been ill? Is it because of this accident?"

Chen Li respectfully said, "Our wife's physical condition is already poor, and her condition has worsened a lot after the eldest lady had an accident a few years ago. Now that the master is gone... the lady will completely..."

Tears welled up in the corners of Chen Li's eyes as he spoke.

Lian Yi didn't ask any more questions.

Several people were brought to the back hall of the third entrance hall. Although they were all covered by white cloth, they could vaguely see the luxury here.The gold-lacquered screen, the silver cups, and the beautiful silks and satins from Suzhou Silk and Satin Village hanging on the beams.

Lian Yi glanced around, and joked, "This place is full of gold and silver, it seems that this Shang Shuling is very generous."

Tang Jiuyue said, "Officials in the court must be rectified again."

Lian Yi coughed lightly. She had heard about the "rectification" storm caused by Tang Jiuyue many years ago. It is said that countless officials were implicated, and all the gold, silver and jewelry hidden in the house were found, and the emperor used it to fill the treasury.

And the reason for this "rectification" was that one day someone was bored and stood at the highest point of the Taige and pointed to the south, feeling that the metal there was punching, which might affect his plant in the south of the Taige. The growth of a pot of orchids, so I ordered someone to dig out the gold phase there, but I didn't expect to find a small treasury hidden by an official...

This case, also known as the "Penlan case", was a sensational case at the time.Because of this, Tang Jiuyue, the supervisor of the gate, was even more highly regarded by the emperor.But the gate supervisor himself stayed behind closed doors after this case. The outside world said that it was because she was afraid that someone would assassinate her because of this incident. Because the orchid attracted a bee and pricked her smooth forehead, resulting in a small swelling...

The gate supervisor cautiously called this "the recent catastrophe"...

Shen Man also took the opportunity to look at the surrounding environment. From the moment she entered the door, she felt that this place gave people a very uncomfortable feeling.

As soon as you enter the door, there are two huge camphor trees, covering the sky and the sun.The house faces south from the north, which is originally an excellent location and orientation, but because of these two camphor trees, there is a kind of yin and cold air when entering the house, which makes people feel cold all over.

After the gate, there is a cobblestone road with an artificial stream on one side and a grassy plain on the other. An arcade bridge is built in the middle of the road, and the stream passes through the bridge.

When passing the small bridge, Shen Man looked down, but felt a human face looming in the water.At that time Shen Man was stunned in the middle of the bridge, the face was that of a woman, with pretty eyebrows, but there was a kind of haze in the eyes, she was smiling slightly at herself, this smile had an indescribably creepy feeling.

Fortunately, Lian Yi turned around and called herself, otherwise Shen Man didn't know where he would be led by that creepy smile.

"My dear guests, I'm sorry," a woman's weak voice came from outside. "I'm late..."

The three of them looked at the man at the same time, but saw that the man was relatively weak, about forty years old.There is a plain red hairpin on her head, and plain clothes on her body.Although he is old, but from his facial features, it can be seen that this person was young, and he must be a beauty.

As soon as Shen Man saw this person's face, he was struck by lightning, and the face he saw in the water just now flashed in his mind. Could it be that that face and this one are the same person? !

It was obviously the first time we met, why did I see this person's appearance in the water?

Shen Man's heart trembled violently, and he clutched the armrest tightly.Suddenly, a gaze came over, and Shen Man took a look, Tang Jiuyue was looking at him.Those calm water eyes seemed to know everything well.Let Shen Man's turbulent heart calm down a little.

"You are Shang Shuling's wife, Mrs. Shen?" Lian Yi asked after working hard.

With the support of the maidservant, the woman bowed to the three of them and said, "The woman is Mrs. Shen."

Shen Man felt that he shouldn't accept her gift, and blushed a little.

Lian Yi changed her posture, and said quite formally, "We are here today for the sake of your lord Shang Shuling. If you have any doubts, please let Madam know everything, and be sure to explain everything in detail."
