Self-cultivation of male support

The frightened Eunuch Yuchen, who was stared at with a slightly dangerous look, was both relieved and puzzled, and at the same time felt that he was worthy of being the master's child. With this look alone, many princes and princesses in the palace did not have this aura.

On the other side, he wondered how the eyes of a child who grew up in a small mountain village could bring him such pressure.

This eunuch, one of the best in the palace, felt that even His Highness the Crown Prince might not have the same aura as the master, and the other party's aura can be seen from the side to see the firmness of the young master's heart, which is amazing It's really strange.

Puzzled and puzzled, seeing that the knowledge is so good, the father-in-law Yuchen returned to the palace full of joy and explained everything he saw to the queen in detail.

After the queen listened to it once, she asked Yuchen to tell it again from beginning to end. Come on.

After listening this time, the queen was silent for a while, and then said hoarsely to the eunuch: "Bring the fifth princess here, I have something to tell her."

Yuchen responded softly, hesitatingly said: "Madam, why don't the imperial physicians from Xuantai Hospital take a look at it for you, you have not been very energetic these few days."

The queen waved her hand: "It's okay, I just feel sluggish occasionally. After taking the medicine, I feel much better today. Calling the imperial physician frequently will make the outside world uneasy."

The news from the queen's side is very strictly controlled, and it did not disturb the outside world. On the contrary, it was the Du family. Du Shi's illness made the Du family and his wife a little uneasy. , I caught a cold in the middle of the night, and went to Beijing in a daze while lying in the carriage.

Up to now, I have been lying at home for several days and have not recovered.

Because the family had discussed it before they came, they lived in the house that Shi Yan had asked them to buy, and they walked around the yard in a small or big way.

So the brothers and sisters all lived in their own small yards, and it was obviously not feasible for only Uncle Zhang's family to take care of them. Du's father and Du's mother have been worrying about their son's illness these days, while making arrangements to increase manpower.

Liu Shiyan and Du Shi are two people at home.

Du Shiyou was lying on the bed, still a little dizzy, and didn't want to sleep, so he asked Shi Yan to read the script next to him, and the two brothers and sisters shared the suffocating operations in the script, which was a unique pleasure.

After the two laughed and quarreled, Du Shiyou said to Shiyan uncertainly: "Amei, do you feel that the atmosphere between father and mother seems not right?"

Shi Yanxin said that of course it was wrong, people live in peace and harmony, and they don't talk to each other, when they arrived in the capital, they slept in different beds, in order to hide it from us, father was still laying the floor in the bedroom.

It must be a matter of principle.

After thinking about it carefully, Shi Yan probably came up with an idea, but this is a matter between the Du family and his wife, even if they are children, it is not easy to intervene. Both of them have their own ideas, so don't worry too much about it.

Du Shiyou continued: "The relationship between parents has always been good, and there are very few times when they are red-faced on weekdays, but along the way, although they look normal, I just feel that something is wrong, and I can't tell you what is wrong. .”

Shi Yan calmly said: "When the upper and lower teeth are fighting, it is not impossible for the parents to have a little conflict. Since they don't want us to know, we can just pretend that we don't know, so that they don't have to worry about what to do. Explain to us."

Seeing that his younger sister had the same thoughts as himself, Du Shi was relieved a lot, his expression changed, and he continued to provoke Shiyan: "Then I haven't finished listening to the reading just now! By the way, bring me another cup of tea, the new one is just out of the oven. Desserts too!"

"Brother, you were so kind to me before, and now you are so easy to manipulate me around. I suspect that is why you want to manipulate me like this to pretend that I have never recovered from my illness." Shiyan looked at Du Shiyou's ruddy face, smiling but not smiling. road.

After feeling guilty for a moment, Du Shi forced himself to calm down: "I'm a patient now, sister, how can you miss me like this, you let me down so much!"

Can Shiyan see that Du Shi has been pretending to be sick these days?Coaxing him for a few days to satisfy the other party's wish to be a little princess is almost enough, can he really accompany him to continue acting?

Leaving Du Shiyou with a dazed face, who didn't know when the secret was revealed, Shi Shiran left the room, and when he came to the door, he didn't forget to remind Du Shiyou: "Didn't you say you want to check the account of Xiaoxiuzhuang for me? I have someone move the ledger to your study, let's start after lunch."

As for Shi Yan herself, she went out of the house, stood under the eaves of the corridor, looked at the blue sky with her hands behind her back, and murmured: "It's time for a guest to come to the door."

When guests come to the door, it is better to prepare a meeting gift in advance.

From this day on, Shiyan locked herself in the room, saying that she had a new inspiration, and asked others not to disturb her easily.

After two years, the owner of Xiaoxiu Zhuang will finally have a new work to be released after the Wanli River and Mountain Map. Not only the Du family attaches great importance to it, but also Xiaoxiuzhuang in the capital who received the news.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the owner behind Xiaoxiuzhuang is very mysterious, but in the boundary of the capital, her identity is not a secret at all among well-established people.

Because the capital, the most prosperous place in the world, has almost turned embroidery into a flower in the past few years, and at the same time, countless embroiderers and embroiderers with exquisite embroidery skills have emerged. They are exquisite and complicated, majestic, or simple and rustic Very different, each with its own characteristics.

But the most famous one is Xiaoxiu Zhuang.

Anyone who has seen the picture of the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, all praise it very much. The Picture of Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains and its creator are already legends in the entire embroidery industry, legends that exist within the industry.

Therefore, after hearing the news, many wealthy families in the capital wanted to get Shi Yan's second embroidery as soon as possible so that they could have a quick look.

Zhiyan is still in the embroidery room, and there are already many people outside who are ready to talk to the Du family through various methods and means.

In the past few days, the three members of the Du family, especially Du Shiyou, have seen the ways of the big families in the capital. They are both soft and hard, and they are both kind and powerful. It is impossible to refuse, but he has no choice but to refuse, because after these two years of getting along , the entire Du family knows that no one can be the master of knowledge.

Even if they agreed to something, it would be useless for Shi Yan not to agree, so it would be better not to bother.

The consequence of not tossing about is that they have to withstand countless pressures from the outside world and struggle to breathe. However, in just nine days, Du Shi felt as if a lifetime had passed. He had not only grown up, but also aged.

Even though the Du family had a bad temper and didn't know how to change things, those people didn't give up the idea of ​​getting Shi Yan's second embroidery. They made people watch the Du family's every move. They will definitely rush forward, trying to persuade Shi Yan immediately and get the things.

It's just that they are destined to be disappointed.

On the morning when Shi Yan left the embroidery room, the sky was bright and the air was clear, the wind was breezy, and there were birds chirping on the big trees in the yard, it was peaceful and clean.

Shiyan refused Manniang's help, and asked to move the embroidery from the room to the yard and put it aside. After a while, under the witness of all the people who came to hear the news, the birds on the tree first became restless , and then flew towards Shi Yan's embroidery one after another, hovering over the embroidery.

Twittering, lingering for a long time, the scene is spectacular, people can't help but doubt their eyes.

One by one, they were devout, respectful, and excited, as if humans were meeting the emperor.

Although it is difficult to feel all this from animals, everyone feels it inexplicably.

In the end, Shiyan put away the embroidery by herself, and the birds left with doubts and reluctance. Everyone at the scene felt the emotions of these little animals again inexplicably.

Seeing this situation, although I don't know the content of Shiyan Embroidery, those people who hide in the dark want to get him even more passionately, and they all want to report everything they see here to the master as quickly as possible, please don't Carelessly.

But before they left, the fifth princess came to pay a low-key visit with her personal maid.

Almost the moment Shiyan walked out of the embroidery room, the carriage of the fifth princess stopped at the gate of Du's house.

When the people hiding in the dark saw it, their hearts skipped a beat. The fifth princess came in person, and the rest of them might never have another chance. In this world, who doesn’t know that it was the fifth princess who successfully pushed Xiaoxiu Zhuang before the world. .

Xiaoxiu Zhuang has today, and the five princesses have contributed a lot.

Everyone knows that the fifth princess loves the embroidery products of Xiaoxiuzhuang. Although other families in the capital also use embroidery items in fashion, they are definitely not as dedicated as the fifth princess. The embroidery industry has flourished in the past two years, and others naturally want to try different things. style.

No, the fifth princess, she is a staunch Xiaoxiuzhuang party. For two years, she insisted on only using products produced by Xiaoxiuzhuang.

Although everyone felt sorry, they hurried home and told the master what happened here without any delay.

When the fifth princess saw Shi Yan with her own eyes, she suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.

Shiyan expressed admiration for the princess's eyesight. Under Du Mu's manipulation, her skin was darker than that in Chenjiacun back then. Seeing this, most people really don't have the heart to look at her face carefully. It was to the extent that sometimes she would be startled when she looked in the mirror by herself.

This one is also a ruthless person who still has the mind to look at her appearance carefully.

The fifth princess sent the others away, and only the two of them were left in the yard. With a gentle smile, she took the initiative to hold Shiyan's hand and said, "I have admired you for a long time, and seeing you today makes me feel kind. How old are you, if you don't match me as a sister in the future, I will call you sister!"

It stands to reason that when ordinary people suddenly see the princess who is rumored to be very favored by the queen, and this princess is too approachable, if they want to pull her sisters to match, they must be uneasy, doubtful, doubtful, excited, and excited.

No matter what, it's the only way to accept it calmly.

But Shi Yan had a calm look on his face, and said calmly: "In that case, fifth sister, come with me."

Shiyan's calmness made the fifth princess stunned for a moment, and for a moment, she seemed to see the shadow of another person from Shiyan, and felt in a daze that she should have such a big sister, one who can make all the princes and princesses in the palace feel happy. Respect big sister.

Thinking of the queen's order, the fifth princess had countless doubts in her heart, but she didn't want to take the initiative to solve them.

Rarely confused.

Shi Yan brought the fifth princess to the gift she specially prepared for the guests. When the fifth princess saw the embroidery up close, she couldn't move her eyes from it.

Ambilight, rebirth from the ashes, domineering, grand, majestic, shocking.

People who are close to this embroidery can't help but breathe lightly, as if they are one of the many animals on the embroidery, looking at the tall, majestic, and powerful existence in front of them, they are sincerely convinced.

After a long time, the fifth princess came back to her senses in a daze, and said softly to Shi Yan: "Sister, it's too strong. Compared with the picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains two years ago, today's picture is more powerful, whether it is the technology, or the aura contained in it, and the state of mind. The physical improvement and the method of expression have all been improved qualitatively, which is completely different!

Put it outside, it must be highly sought after! "

Shiyan accepted the fifth princess's praise frankly.

Although this is a gift specially prepared for the guests who came to the door today, but it is indeed something that Shiyan came to the capital, suddenly had a new feeling, and created something based on the feeling.

But for her, the most important thing is the process of perception, the others are not important.

The fifth princess finally moved her eyes away from the embroidery, and then asked Shiyan: "Sister, does this embroidery have a name?"

Shi Yan said: "The picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix."

After finishing speaking, under the puzzled eyes of the fifth princess, she wiped the embroidery carefully and said: "Since you like it, fifth sister, I will give it to you."

The fifth princess was about to refuse, but Zhi Yan said indifferently: "Today I met a younger sister, and I am very happy, so let's treat it as a gift to meet you!"

There is no mention of the invisible help that the fifth princess has provided to Xiaoxiu Zhuang in the past two years.

The fifth princess accepted it happily, and asked someone to put the gift she brought in front of Shi Yan, and said a little embarrassedly: "This is something specially prepared by the elders of the family when they heard that I am going to visit my sister today. Hope you like it, sister."

Shi Yan understood the meaning of the fifth princess as soon as she heard it, and the people who can be called elders by the fifth princess can be counted with a single slap.It is easy to think of the rumored queen who dotes on her.

After seeing off the low-key fifth princess, Shiyan looked at the two inconspicuous bolts of silk among the many gifts, and sniffed the faint smell in the air, and clicked her tongue inwardly.

This is really, it doesn't take much effort to get it.

Du's father looked at the whole yard of gifts brought by the fifth princess, and his eyes stopped on Du's mother thoughtfully. Du's mother was very calm and did not dodge or avoid. Among all the gifts, he saw two horses that could only be used in the Queen's Palace. Si satin, with a flash in his eyes, already understood the meaning of the gift giver in his heart.

Accurately picked out the two pieces from the pile of gifts, and said to Shiyan: "Ah Yan, you can put away the other things by yourself, and you will use them as a dowry in the future. These two pieces of silk and satin are very smooth to the touch, and they are good things at first glance." Mother brought it to make two clothes for you to wear, so as not to waste it in the warehouse."

Shi Yan did not refuse, and said with a smile: "Thank you, mother."

In this family, there is probably only one person, Du Shi, who is big-hearted, who circled around these gifts, and then asked Shiyan very uneasy: "A-mei, even if that person is the fifth princess, this is too generous. Let's accept them." Is there anything wrong with the gift?"

At this moment, the whole family looked at Du Shiyou with unusually unified eyes, and there was one meaning in their eyes: ignorant people are the happiest.

After returning to the palace, the fifth princess respectfully sent the picture of a hundred birds facing a phoenix to the queen, and carefully described everything she saw in Du's house, then lowered her head and looked down, not daring to Feel free to look around.

After a long time, I heard the empress say: "You have done a good job, continue to do it, and I will allow you to choose your own husband and wife in the future."

The fifth princess was startled, and then rejoiced. After respectfully exiting the Ganquan Palace, she had even more doubts about Shi Yan's identity. All the actions of the queen were telling her a fact. , is a very important person.

And the queen in Ganquan Palace warmly ordered the eunuch: "Have someone hang it in my bedroom, so I can see it every day.

Also, I asked someone to look through Bengong's private treasury. I remembered that I collected some of my daughter's household items a few years ago. I thought I would never need them in this life...

Send it back to the kid. "

The Du family naturally didn't know that the mountain-like gift was just an appetizer a few days ago, and there would be countless precious objects lined up to enter the gate of their house in the future.

Today, the family specially sent Du Shiyou, who was finally willing to recover, to study in the Imperial College.

Not everyone can enter the Imperial College if they want to. In the previous dynasty, only the children of officials with grade five or above could enroll, and each family had a limited number of places.

In this dynasty, the Guozijian relaxed its requirements and began to accept talents from all over the world, but the definition of talents was very broad and vague. You can enter the school after passing the examination.

The day before yesterday, Du Shiyou passed the examination of Mr. Guozijian, so there was a scene where the family sent Du Shiyou to school today.

It was the first time that Du Shi was sent to school together by his family when he grew up so big. Du Shi had a secret happiness in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.

The whole family stood at the entrance of the Guozijian and said goodbye. Du Shi pretended to be impatient and said: "Sister, go back quickly, I just said that you don't want to send it off, you insist on coming, look at the students who come and go, which one is still going to school?" Want a family gift?

Embarrassing to death! "

Shi Yan glanced at Du Shi faintly, and told him a cruel reality: "Then stop talking and go in quickly, what are you doing?

We just drop you off by the way, and we will go to the White Horse Temple to burn incense later, if we go late, we won’t be able to line up, so don’t delay our time. "

Du Shiyou showed a heartbroken expression, and wanted to say something, but in a blink of an eye, his eyes met the man not far away.

Seeing Du Shiyou, the man smiled gently and stepped forward to say hello.

Tall and tall, personable and gentle, he really has the capital to attract girls.

It was Chen Shimei who came.

Chen Shimei greeted Du's family in a warm voice, looked at Du Shiyou and said, "Brother Du, is he going to study in the Imperial College in the future? Shimei came here today to take part in the assessment. If he can pass by luck, you and I will be classmates again in the future. , it really is fate!"

Standing next to Chen Shimei was a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes, with exquisite makeup, who looked at people through her nostrils. Speaking of which, Shiyan felt a bit familiar with her appearance.

I just heard the girl say: "Shimei, I have an appointment for a sacrificial wine later, so don't be late."

It's a simple sentence, but the meaning of not paying attention to Guozijian's sacrificial wine is very obvious.

Chen Shi smiled at the girl in a good-tempered manner, bid farewell to the Du family and followed them away, the two of them acted very intimately.

Seeing the back of Chen Shimei walking away, Du's mother whispered to Du Shiyou: "Then the Chen family boy is not honest, and I don't know where he got hooked up with someone else.

Just now that girl didn't look like she was putting on any ostentation, she was wearing something made in the palace, so she was not easy to mess with.It's okay, don't go to him, so as not to be implicated. "

Father Du agrees with this very much.

The two stared at Du Shiyou with burning eyes, waiting for his answer.

Du Shi helped his forehead helplessly: "Father and mother, I'm already an adult, do you still need to tell me about this kind of thing? A-mei is the best. See how much she trusts me!"

Shi Yan said faintly: "I don't trust you, I just believe in the relationship between you and Chen Shimei. I couldn't get close since I was a child. It doesn't make sense to suddenly be able to wear the same pair of pants."

I just met Chen Shimei here, and when I turned around, I met Lu Hongshao who was burning incense with her grandmother at the White Horse Temple.

Lu Hongshao was very happy to see Shi Yan, and pestered Shi Yan to come to her house as a guest to recognize the family, which made her grandmother Cheng's old lady very helpless, and finally, out of love for her granddaughter, she could only lick her face and confess to the Du family.

Lu Hongshao's wish was fulfilled, she held Shi Yan's arm and twittered along the way, Shi Yan listened to each other and felt the weight on her arm, she didn't have the slight embarrassment at first, she started to get used to it.

This might be a girl, Shiyan thought.

On the carriage back to Du's house, only Lu Hongshao cannoned: "Sister Ah Yan, let me tell you, luckily I didn't really fall in love with Chen Shimei before, it must be him, otherwise I would die of anger.

Before, I thought that there are many beautiful men in the capital, and he is not bad.

As a result, it is the same with him, there are many beautiful and powerful girls in the capital, not one less than me! "

Shi Yan became interested, raised her eyebrows and said, "Tell me?"

Lu Hongshao approached Shiyan, leaned her head on her shoulder, pouted and said angrily: "The man took my father's letter to find my uncle, and my uncle was entrusted by my father to find a way to send him to the Imperial College to study.

So Chen Shimei stayed at my uncle's house during this time, coaxing my uncle to laugh like he was his own son.

No, I told you before, my uncle also has a niece, the eighth princess in the palace. I heard that because of His Majesty's praise recently, she has been in the limelight. She took the palace ban token and often went out of the palace to find some cousins ​​to play with. After coming and going, Chen Shimei and the eighth princess met eyes. "

The eighth princess turned out to be the heroine.

Now that I think about it, the woman I met at the gate of the Imperial College should undoubtedly be the Eighth Princess, as expected, she looks a bit similar to Lu Hongshao.

Shi Yan: "It's fine to listen to me here, it's best to keep it all in your heart in front of others, and be careful not to say it out of your mouth."

Choreographing the royal princess, being held accountable, the crime can be big or small.

Lu Hongshao pursed her lips, rubbed Shi Yan's shoulder twice, showing a look of enjoyment, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm so smart, how can I not know this?

Sister Ah Yan, why are you not a man?If you are a man, I will marry you as appointed! "

Shiyan respectfully thanked Bumin: "If I'm really a man, then you have to wait in line. My Manniang has already made an appointment, and she wants to be the first to marry me."

She never expected that she would be favored by so many girls after becoming a girl, and Shi Yan felt a little complicated in her heart.
