Tanhualang

Shen Jing did what she said, and went to the book market again on another day, and bought ten fans in one go, thinking about going back and painting slowly, she must draw a good one for Xiaoyou.After picking out the fans and some books, I picked up my things and walked back along the street.

The rainy season is almost over, and the weather is going to be hot. He wanted to cool off, so he chose to go out at dusk, and it was already dusk when he returned.Just after getting out of the book market, a carriage came flying towards me, she didn't pay attention to it quietly, and just followed the pedestrians to hide aside; the carriage stopped, and the people inside raised the curtain and shouted several times: "Young Master Shen! Young Master Shen!"

Shen Jing raised her head and realized that it was Xu Wei, the servant boy.

Xu Wei had already got off the carriage, and greeted him with a smile: "Master, are you going to the book market?"

"Yes." Shen Jing smiled and cupped his hands in return, "Come out for a stroll without anything."

"Is your injury already healed?" Xu Wei smiled earnestly, "My father mentioned the other day that he wanted to hold a banquet to apologize to the young master. I'm afraid your injury has not healed yet. Now we can't delay any longer."

Now that Shen Jing heard the word "repentance", she was almost terrified: "Your servant and son are too polite. It was just a misunderstanding, so I really don't need to take it to heart. If you mention the word 'repentance' again, I will be afraid." Be terrified."

"Even if my father doesn't treat me, I will definitely invite you again." The two were standing in the street, Xu Wei was driving fast in the carriage just now, but now he seemed to have no intention of rushing, "The way he looked that day , It’s so rude... I still feel very embarrassed when I think about it. Actually, I’m not so reckless, but I drank too much that day—”

"This matter is over, Mr. Xu, don't worry about it anymore." Seeing that it was getting dark, Shen Jing hurried back, looked at Xu Wei's carriage, and tried to end the chat, "Master Xu must have some business to do." Busy? It's important business, why don't we talk about it another day."

"Not busy, not busy, not busy! I'm not in a hurry." Xu Wei waved his hands repeatedly after hearing this, shaking his head like a rattle, "I'm not my father, so why should I be busy with official business? It's just that a few friends have an appointment for dinner— - They are all serious friends, if Mr. Shen is fine, why don't you come together?"

They are all serious friends... It was the first time for Shen Jing to meet a young master with Xu Wei's personality. While secretly wondering in his heart, he declined: "Thank you for your kindness, young master. It's just that I have some business to go back, so I won't bother you today."

"Are you still on business when you go back? There is still a long way to go!" Xu Wei immediately turned around and shouted to the carriage, "Si, turn the carriage around!"

Shen Jing: "Young Master Xu, you don't have to—"

In a blink of an eye, the carriage slowly stopped in front of him, Xu Wei interrupted the silence, and smiled very cheerfully: "The Weaving Department is still far away, it's such a hot day, Mr. Shen, get on the carriage, I'll take you back."

"It's really not necessary! It's important for Mr. Xu to go to the banquet—"

"It doesn't matter, my business doesn't matter, it's just eating and drinking." Xu Wei persistently lifted the curtain of the car, "It's so hot, you see you are still carrying such a heavy bag of books, and your shirt is soaked in sweat. Get in the carriage quickly."

A huge carriage was parked in the middle of the road, and the two were arguing on the side of the street, which had already attracted many pedestrians to stop and look around.Xu Wei didn't think much of it, but Shen Jing already felt a little embarrassed, so he had no choice but to get on the carriage with the book: "...then respect is worse than obedience."

Before getting into the carriage, Shen Jing thought nothing more than taking a carriage, but as soon as he got in the carriage, his stomach turned green.Xu Wei was very talkative, chatting with Shen Jing non-stop along the way: "Where is your son from? The accent is from the south, right?"

"My ancestral home is Suzhou."

"Coincidentally, my ancestral home is Hangzhou, this is really fate!"

"..." So what kind of fate is this?

"It's said that there is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below." Xu Wei is very good at drawing close, "Based on this, we are half fellows."

"Forehead……"

"Mr. Shen Guigeng?"

"I wasted 24 years old."

"Oh, I'm three years older. You don't mind if I call you Brother Shen?"

"You're welcome, son."

"Brother Shen, if you want to do something in Nanjing, please don't be polite to me. As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the present. I grew up in Nanjing. There is nothing to eat and play on the ground in Nanjing that I don't know. "

"Thank you Mr. Xu for your kindness."

"Brother Shen, you are being polite. My name is Shengnian, just call me Shengnian."

"..."

Fortunately, the carriage ran fast and stopped in front of the Weaving Department when Shen Jing was at a loss for what to do.Xu Wei personally carried the book and sent Shen Jing to the door, then waved his hand and left: "I will treat you to dinner some other day, brother Shen must definitely come!"

Shen Jing forced a smile and said goodbye to him: "...Thank you Mr. Xu for sending you off."

Back in the yard just in time for dinner, Shen Jing had a simple meal, then flipped through the books he bought under the lamp, while flipping through the books, from time to time he raised his head and looked out the window absent-mindedly.Zhao Heng had a lot of free time recently, and often came over to play chess with him after dinner, so now that Shen Jing had dinner, she didn't dare to change clothes casually, for fear that Zhao Heng would be rude when he came.

After reading the book for a while, I didn't wait for Zhao Heng, but I waited for Xiao You to come. He opened the door and smiled at Shen Jing: "Here's a gift for you."

As he turned his head to signal, he saw the little boy coming in with a full bag, and said to Shen Jing: "Sir, Grandpa Ding just sent someone to deliver the summer clothes measured a while ago."

"Thank you." Shen Jing hurriedly put down the book, took it and put it on the chair, "The weather is sweltering these days, and I have to change it every day. It's really timely."

Xiao You explained with a smile: "It happened that a batch of materials in the capital was rushing to work, and the people from the Weaving Bureau were too busy. A few days ago, I sent over some of the prince's body. The few of us delayed a few God. The people who came to deliver it are still waiting in front, you can try it, if it’s not suitable, ask them to take it and change it.”

Shen Jing said: "I won't try it. The craftsmanship of the Weaving Bureau must not be wrong."

Xiao You immediately urged: "Go and try it. It will save you more trouble to deliver it later."

Shen Jing couldn't help it. He carried his luggage and went into the back room. Shao Qing changed into a straight body of blue silk and plain color, and walked out while buttoning up: "It fits very well."

"Well, not bad." Xiaoyou sat down and took a look, "Go and change those clothes."

Shen Jing tried two more Taoist robes, but the last one was a round-neck gown with dark green moiré patterns. He changed it and walked out. The clothes fit very well, with a black silk belt matching his slender waist and long legs. ;The dark green color also shows off the face, and it looks more and more calm, and the complexion is fair and handsome.Xiao You saw it, and couldn't help but stood up and walked around Shen Jing twice: "Tsk tsk, tsk tsk. This looks good. It needs to be paired with a wider belt to make it look better." Then he turned to the little boy and said, "Go and They said, let them choose a generous and stable color and make a few luan belts."

Now that Shen Jing knows that Xiao has a temper, she is no longer polite to him, and enters the room to change her clothes.When he came out again, Xiao You smiled at the table: "There is one more thing to trouble you. You finished the snacks you made for His Highness in the morning. I was thinking that there would be two yuan left, and I would also dip into it. It turned out that, Your Highness hasn't eaten enough yet."

"The weather is too hot, so I didn't dare to make more because I was afraid that the leftovers would be ruined." Shen Jing smiled and poured tea, "I will make more tomorrow, and I will leave a separate portion for you."

"You went out today?" Xiaoyou took the tea and said with a smile, "I heard from Wei Zheng that it was brought back in a carriage. Who did you meet?"

Shen Jing suddenly looked helpless: "I didn't expect it either. It's Xu Shilang, oh no, it's Xu Shangshu now. His son."

Xiao You paused while serving tea: "The one who teased you?"

"..." Shen Jing couldn't help but glared at Xiao You, "...that's him. I met him on the way back, and he insisted on taking me back in a carriage."

"This kid is interesting." Xiao You squinted his eyes, looking thoughtful, "You say he is careless, last time he took a special shot to save us, and he stood up to ask for credit. What do you want to say? He is thoughtful, and it seems that what he does is too incomprehensible: the people from the military department next to him are guarding, and he is still molesting people in the teaching workshop; he broke his arm and lied to people that two ribs were broken, and he should have been on the bed. He was recuperating, but he jumped out to help! Ding Bao found it out as soon as he turned his head."

"It doesn't look like a treacherous and evil person. It seems that he is quite straightforward, but his mouth is a bit broken. The son of an official family is a bit playful." Shen Jing drank tea casually, put down the tea bowl, and put the fan noodles and the ones he bought during the day. I flipped through the book, "Let's not talk about him. I went to pick out the fans specially today, and there are some ancient paintings of the predecessors. Don't you love landscapes? Meticulous brushwork is the best for landscapes. I have already prepared all the tools for painting today. Come pick and choose, if there is something you like here, I will follow it."

"Why tell others, you want to draw a picture yourself."

"..."

"Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. You draw slowly while thinking about it." Xiao You smiled, "I want to tell you today that there is a good thing."

"What good thing?"

"you guess."

"..." Shen Jing thought for a while, "Has His Highness rewarded you?"

"It's not mine." Xiao You said with a smile, "Your."

"Me?" Shen Jing was stunned, "...do you want to give me a long salary?"

"Bah, look at how promising you are!" Xiaoyou yelled, and laughed again, "Ding Bao and Sun Ping are sitting in Nanjing, so your Highness doesn't have to worry about it anymore. Today, I mentioned that Japanese pirates are rampant along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Your Highness wants to visit Yancheng, Suzhou, and Ningbo in person."

"Oh." Before Shen Jing could react, "...what does it have to do with me?"

"Your Highness said today." Xiao You said with a smile, "The first stop is going to Suzhou. Just passing by your hometown."

"..." Shen Jing listened, but his face changed slightly, "His Royal Highness... is going to Suzhou? Do I want to come with you?"

"Naturally, you and I have to follow, and Wei Zheng brought three hundred guards." Xiao You said, and also noticed that Shen Jing's face was wrong, "Why, don't you want to go back?"

"...It's nothing. It's just timid to be close to the hometown. Your Highness is going, and I will naturally accompany you. If you just go to my hometown, then you can avoid it." Shen Jing smiled, "Since my father passed away, I haven't gone back much. Now relatives I have no contacts, and the houses and fields have been sold. If I really want to go back, I don’t know who to go to.”

"Follow Your Highness, who else do you need to go to?" Xiao You said with a smile, "I think they should all go to you now."

"When does His Highness decide to leave?"

"We have to wait for a few days." Xiao Youdao, "It's easy to say, but it's not a trivial matter. You have to talk to the adults in Nanjing, especially Sun Ping and Sun. Maybe the Ministry of War has to send A servant accompanied him. Grandpa Ding Bao also had to give a prophetic notice to take care of the things that should be done in Nanjing. And the governors of the state capitals along the way had to be notified in advance. There are so many things waiting, these two days can Some are busy."
