Lin Sishen stared at the rice paper on the table with a complicated expression for a long while, not knowing what Shen Qinghou's drawing of red apricots on the wall meant.

It was on a whim, or seeing her meeting Meng Yange in the back garden, that made the painting a metaphor for her.

But how can I draw a red apricot, but I should draw a flower radish.

Just as Lin Sishen was meditating, she suddenly heard some movement outside the door. She hastily covered the rice paper, folded it as it was before and placed it by the table, then pretended to open the window and walked to the bed.

Sure enough, after only two steps, the door was pushed open, and Shen Qingwan walked in slowly with a cold expression.

She, who was always calm and calm, seemed to be a little strange, her brows were slightly frowned, Lin Sishen raised her eyes and greeted with a light cough: "Princess."

Shen Qinghou glanced at her, pursed her lips and said, "I'm afraid I'm going back to the palace today."

According to etiquette, after Shen Qinghou and Lin Sishen got married, they should return home together on the third day, but why did Shen Qinghou suddenly mention going back to the palace on the second day.

Lin Sishen raised his eyebrows, and asked, "But something happened to the prince?"

"Ah."

She was right in guessing, Shen Qinghou responded, but did not explain anything to Lin Sishen, but asked with some hesitation: "Do you want to go with me?"

"Naturally." Lin Sishen immediately agreed, she is now Shen Qinghou's husband-in-law, if Shen Qingwei hadn't been accompanied by her, she would have returned home early, and I don't know what rumors would be spread by outsiders.

Shen Qinghou looked her up and down, frowning more and more: "But your body..."

Lin Sishen raised a smiling face, shrugged and said, "It's much better, the Princess don't need to worry, I'd better pack up my things and go back to the palace to have a look."

After explaining a few words to the old lady, General Lin, they readily agreed to let Lin Sishen accompany Shen Qinghou back to the palace first. Not only that, they also prepared a lot of gifts for Lin Sishen to take, and they also told her that it would be best to accompany Shen Qinghou. Stay in the palace overnight, and come back tomorrow.

The two sat in sedan chairs and quickly arrived at the palace.

It's funny to say that the Ninth Prince drank a lot of wine on the night of his wedding, and when he returned home, he didn't let anyone help him. He staggered and bumped into a stone lion at the gate of the mansion, resulting in a bleeding wound on his forehead. big bag.

Because this fact was embarrassing, the Ninth Prince forbade his servants to tell Shen Qinghou about it, but Shen Qinghou still found out about it, so he hurried back to the palace with Lin Sishen to visit him.

The Ninth Prince was lying on the bed with a yellow scarf wrapped around his head. At first he saw Shen Qinghou's expression was happy, but when he saw Lin Sishen following behind Shen Qinghou, his expression suddenly sank.

Although she thought it was funny in her heart, Lin Sishen's face was serious, she bowed respectfully, "Sishen has met my father-in-law."

"En." The Ninth Prince held Shen Qinghou's hand, responded perfunctorily, and asked Lin Sishen to be invited out.

Even after getting married, the Ninth Prince still doesn't want to see Lin Sishen.

There were still many people in the house, Shen Qinghou saw this and called Lan Qing to take Lin Sishen to rest in his own room first, the Ninth Prince glanced at Lin Sishen and said in a deep voice: "No, just tidy up a room and let her Just stay."

Shen Qinghou accompanied the Ninth Prince, and Lin Sishen, led by Lan Qing, went to Shen Qinghou's courtyard in the palace when he had nothing to do.

In the courtyard, the flowers were fragrant, the birds were singing, and the flowing water was gurgling. The scenery was much better than that of the Liuguang Pavilion. Lin Sishen walked around twice casually, and proposed to visit Shen Qinghou's study.

She knew that Shen Qingwei liked to collect ancient books, so she just took the opportunity to see how many books Shen Qingwei still had in his collection.

Lan Qing hesitated for a while, but finally took her there.

Shen Qinghou's study room was spacious and bright. As soon as Lin Sishen entered the door, he saw a picture scroll hanging on the wall. In the painting was a smiling woman with a slender figure and a beautiful face. Her lowered eyebrows were full of tenderness.

Lin Sishen stood in front of the scroll and looked at it for a while, and was surprised to find that the appearance of the woman in the painting was somewhat similar to that of Shen Qinghou, but Shen Qinghou had always been aloof and cold, and was not as gentle and tender as the woman in the painting.

Lan Qing followed her gaze, and suddenly sighed softly and said sullenly: "This is the princess who has passed away, or the Princess herself painted it two years ago."

Lin Sishen turned her head to glance at her, with a surprised expression on her face. She remembered that the birth mother of the Ninth Prince's concubine, Shen Qinghou, died of illness when Shen Qingwei was six years old. Shen Qinghou was by the side of her mother who might pass away at any time, so she was fostered in the general's mansion for a whole year.

After so many years, could it be that Shen Qinghou has always remembered his mother's appearance, which is why he drew this scroll so vividly.

Lan Qing went to the side and took a silk handkerchief to wipe clean the wooden case under the picture scroll, and said softly: "When the princess used to enter the study, she always stood in front of the door and looked at it for a long time like the princess."

Lin Sishen came back to her senses, she looked at Lan Qing with a slight frown, and asked, "Lan Qing, how long have you been with the princess?"

Lan Qing turned his head and thought for a while, counting his fingers seriously: "According to calculations, it should be eight years."

Lin Sishen pursed his lips, and asked curiously, "Did the princess ever mention the princess to you?"

Lan Qing shook his head: "It's never been mentioned before. I only knew about it after I heard from Sister Luyin that the painting is about the concubine." Grandpa, what are you asking these for?"

Lin Sishen sneered, and explained, "It's just a matter of asking."

Lan Qing said he was going to make tea for Lin Sishen, so he left her alone in the study and ran away.

Lin Sishen looked around in the study for a few moments, then impatiently paced to the bookshelf, looking at those priceless ancient books alone, Lin Sishen couldn't help but gasped.

She did indeed run a lot of shops in the state of Jin and hid a lot of private money. In the past, she thought she was a rich person, but now she saw the collection in Shen Qingwei's study, and she was shocked to realize that there was someone out there.

If one of these books is randomly taken out, it is a priceless treasure that is hard to find.

While sighing, Lin Sishen glanced over the bookshelf, and finally her gaze landed on a black wooden box in the corner at the bottom of the bookshelf.

It is packed in a wooden box, so it is possible that it contains more precious ancient books.

Lin Sishen felt that she could not mess with Shen Qinghou's book, but she really couldn't bear the curiosity in her heart, so it shouldn't be a serious crime to take a sneak peek.

Thinking in this way, Lin Sishen stomped down secretly and opened the wooden box, only to see that there was still a layer of red cloth inside, and it was faintly visible that there were several books wrapped underneath.

Lin Sishen stretched out his hand ready to move, lifted the red cloth, then looked at the door vigilantly, held his breath, and took out the book.

Holding the book in his hand, he stared at the large characters on the cover, Lin Sishen frowned tightly: "Red Pink Xiaoxiang, an anecdote about a heroine?"

What kind of weird book is this, why does she seem to have never heard of it, maybe there is something in it.

Lin Sishen picked up the book Pretty in Pink with a dazed face, and after flipping through two pages, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on her face.

After reading it for a while, she closed the book and put it back where it was, then randomly took a military book and put it on the desk. She propped her chin up, and there was a chuckle in her eyes that she couldn't hide.

After a while, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the yard, and the sound of footsteps appeared at the door of the study almost instantly.

Lin Sishen raised her head, only to see Shen Qinghou frowned and hurriedly stepped into the study room, she glanced at Lin Sishen coldly, and then said: "So you are here."

"Miss Lan Qing asked me to come in." Lin Sishen stood up hesitantly, then coughed lightly and said solemnly: "The princess's collection of books really amazes Sishen."

Shen Qinghou walked to her side slowly, with cold eyes: "If you like it, you can take it and read it at will."

Lin Sishen's expression brightened, "Really?"

"Naturally." Shen Qinghou nodded, then walked to the bookshelf, her gaze fell on the wooden box in the corner as if inadvertently, and then she asked, "Have you ever read the books in this box?"

Lin Sishen didn't blush when she lied, she pretended to be respectful and said: "I never said anything before, the princess didn't speak, how dare I touch the princess's collection at will."

Shen Qinghou turned around Shi Shiran, her eyes fell on Lin Sishen's face with clear and cold eyes, she said slowly: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you read it, this is the book that Lan Qing and Lu Yin put in my room."

"So that's how it is." Lin Sishen raised his eyebrows, but secretly laughed in his heart, Shen Qinghou's words seemed to be deceiving.

Shen Qinghou stared at her for a long while, as if she could see a clue from her expression, but she didn't say anything, but slowly paused, and took the wooden box out of the bookshelf.

Holding the wooden box, she turned around and looked at Lin Sishen without changing her expression, and said, "Mr. Lin, if you are interested, you can read it here."

Lin Sishen bowed his head and cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you Princess."

Shen Qinghou came back in a hurry, hugged the wooden box, and left again. Seeing her disappear into the study, Lin Sishen suddenly couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

Unexpectedly, the princess, who looks so serious on the surface, would read such miscellaneous books in private that only young women in boudoirs would read.

Thinking of her cold and serious appearance just now, she was worried that Lin Sishen would find out her little secret, so she rushed to take the wooden box away, Lin Sishen somehow felt that she was cute and interesting.

Shen Qinghou's complexion was not very good. After she walked out of the courtyard, she happened to run into Lan Qing who was holding tea.

Lan Qing called her with joy, but she handed the wooden box to Lan Qing with a sullen face, frowning and said: "Why are these books still in my study, didn't you ask you to take them away?"

Lan Qing took the wooden box and said angrily, "I...I forgot, I haven't read it yet."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, blinked and asked: "Princess, didn't you read it for a day last time, what do you think of these books?"

Shen Qinghou pursed her lips, and a flash of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, she snorted coldly and said, "If you want to comment on these books, it's only four words, I don't know what it means."

After speaking, he walked away coldly.

+ + + + + + + + +

After staying in the palace for one night, Lin Sishen went back to the general's palace alone early the next day, while Shen Qinghou wanted to stay in the palace for half a day.

Yesterday she was sick and asked for a day off. Today she had to go to the Ministry of War to report on her duties. When the sun was only bright, Lin Sishen took off her official uniform and changed into it.

The doctor of the Ministry of War is a fifth-rank official in the court, and his official uniform is light crimson.

Under Mo Zhu's service, Lin Sishen changed into the official uniform, with an official hat on his head and a black belt around his waist, he looked rather high-spirited.

Mo Zhu stood on tiptoe to straighten her collar, frowned slightly and said worriedly: "When you are in the military department, you must always pay attention to your words and deeds."

There was a slight smile on Lin Sishen's face, she didn't seem worried at all, and said with a light smile, "You can rest assured, there are many people in the military department who were former subordinates of my father, and they dare not make things difficult for me."

Only officials of the fourth rank or higher can go to court, so Lin Sishen does not need to go to the palace, but only needs to go to the Ministry of War to report on his duties.

On the first day he took office, Lin Sishen didn't do much in the Ministry of War, he just got to know some of his colleagues and understood his position, so he could go back to the government on his own if he had nothing to do.

On the way back to the house, Lin Sishen happened to pass by Yunji Rouge Shop. In front of the door, there were many ladies with maids, talking about something excitedly. It seemed that the business of the Rouge Shop run by Yunliu was good.

Lin Sishen just glanced at it from a distance, and was about to leave, but Tao Hong, Yunliu's personal servant girl who was standing at the entrance of the Rouge Shop, caught a glimpse of her with sharp eyes, immediately beamed with joy, left those ladies aside, and walked straight to Lin Sishen.

Lin Sishen lowered her eyes and quickened her pace, but Taohong didn't intend to let her go, she trotted along behind Lin Sishen, and called Mr. Lin several times loudly.

As a last resort, Lin Sishen had to stop, she turned around and looked at Tao Hong with a chuckle and said, "Long time no see, Miss Tao Hong."

Tao Hong looked her up and down, and then happily said: "Mr. Lin is wearing an official uniform?"

Lin Sishen stood with her hands behind her back, with a slight smile on her face, she nodded slightly and said, "Well, I just went to the Ministry of War to report on my duties today."

Tao Hong pursed her lips and stared at her for a while, then asked with a smile: "Since you happen to be passing by, why don't Mr. Lin go to the shop to see Miss?"

Lin Sishen didn't intend to see Yunliu again, so he declined softly, "The princess is still waiting in the mansion, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here for long."

"Mr. Lin..." Tao Hong called her, and then hesitated to say: "Miss, she has been ill for the past two days, can't you spare some time, Master, to visit her?"

Lin Sishen frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you sick, but the business of the shop is so good that you are overworked?"

Tao Hong sighed softly, and looked at Lin Sishen with a trace of complaint: "Isn't it because the young lady has been busy for seven days in order to make a wedding dress for the young master, and she only rests for two hours a day, and the meal is not good. Eat. It’s hard to drive Xifu out, but the person is exhausted.”

Seeing that Lin Sishen seemed to be hesitating, Tao Hong stamped her feet, her face full of disappointment, and said: "Isn't it okay to just go and have a look? Even for the sake of past affection, Mr. Lin would not be so unfeeling."

Hearing that Yunliu was sick because he was rushing to make the wedding dress for herself, Lin Sishen still couldn't calm down, she sighed helplessly and waved her sleeves: "Forget it, then please trouble Miss Taohong to take me to see Yunliu. "

Tao Hong's face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly led Lin Sishen the way: "Then Mr. Lin will follow me."

Because there were too many people in front of the door, Tao Hong had no choice but to lead Lin Sishen around to enter behind the door. When passing through the side door behind the hall, Lin Sishen saw that the hall was crowded with many guests, so he couldn't help but asked, "Where is the shop from Rouge?" Business seems to be going well?"

Tao Hong smiled proudly: "Yes, after the opening of the shop, Miss developed a new rouge, but no one came to buy it at first, and Miss ran around at a loss and gave it to many ladies from your family for trial use. Afterwards, many people heard the news When I came to buy it, even the young lady from the Shangshu Mansion was using it. The young lady hired two guys and couldn’t handle it. Only we, Yunji, sell this rouge capital, and it’s sold out these days. The young ladies who came today They are all here to pay the deposit, and I am afraid that we will have to work for another month before we can get out with the deposit received in the past few days."

Lin Sishen was stunned when she heard the words, she didn't expect that Yunliu really had the talent to do business, and in such a short period of time, the business was so prosperous.

Following Tao Hong to the attic of the shop, Tao Hong knocked on the door of a room, and called happily: "Miss, come out and see who is here."

After a long while inside the door, Yun Liu's voice sounded, tired and weak: "Tao Hong, didn't I tell you, I won't see anyone today."

Tao Hong giggled, turned her head to look at Lin Sishen, and then said with a smile: "This man, Miss, you must want to see him."

As soon as the words fell, the closed door was opened, and Yun Liu stood behind the door and looked up: "Yes..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw Lin Sishen behind Tao Hong, she was stunned with a trace of shock on her pale and clear face.

Lin Sishen took a step forward while thinking, his eyes fell on Yunliu's bloodless face, and then he pursed his lips and called softly: "Yunliu."

"Snapped."

She just called Yunliu's name, Yunliu's expression changed and she hastily closed the door, and then her hurried voice came from inside the room: "Mr. Lin, please wait a moment." After she finished speaking, she did not forget to tell Taohong: "Taohong, hurry up and make a pot of Biluochun for Mr. Lin."

Standing by the door, Lin Sishen blinked in a daze, and looked at Tao Hong suspiciously.

Tao Hong didn't seem to be surprised by Yun Liu's actions, she just covered her lips and smiled in a low voice, then turned and walked downstairs: "Please trouble Mr. Lin to wait a while, I'll make tea for Mr. Lin."

Lin Sishen sighed and leaned against the window on the opposite side of the room, she listened attentively to the subtle voices in the room, a little absent-minded.

Maybe she shouldn't come back at all, it would be best for Yun Liu not to see her, thinking of Lin Sishen standing upright and walking downstairs.

I don't know if he expected Lin Sishen to leave, but the closed door was suddenly opened.

Yun Liu changed her clothes and stood by the door with drooping eyes, her pale face was covered with a layer of rouge, although she looked charming and beautiful, it also made her look more sick and haggard.

It turned out that she was so flustered just now, but because she didn't want Lin Sishen to see her exhausted appearance, so she changed into a red dress and put on rouge.

Yun Liu lowered her brows, she bit her slightly pale lips, and said softly: "Mr. Lin has been waiting for a long time."

Lin Sishen turned his eyes away, raised his lips and smiled and asked, "I heard Tao Hong said that you were sick, and happened to be passing by, so I decided to come over and have a look."

Yun Liu turned sideways to make way, she stared at Lin Sishen's face, the look of surprise could not be concealed on her haggard face: "Master, let's go into the room and talk."

"Alright." Lin Sishen nodded, walked past her quickly, and walked into the room.

The room was dark and the windows were closed tightly, and there was a faint fragrance in the air. Lin Sishen glanced at it and soon found a lot of mountain flowers on the table, and a delicate small stone pestle with a few petals in it. up half of blue mountain flowers.

Lin Sishen frowned slightly, turned to look at Yunliu and said, "Since you're sick, you should take a good rest, why are you still so busy?"

Yun Liu raised a strand of hair hanging from the corner of her forehead and put it behind her ears. She looked up at Lin Sishen who was wearing an official uniform, with a smile on her lips: "The business in the store is very good these days, and the deposit has been collected. There are quite a few, and the rouge must be delivered to the guest's house on time."

Lin Sishen was silent for a while when he heard the words, and then sighed softly: "Then you don't have to do everything by yourself, didn't you hire the guys, just let them do it. If you are still too busy, you can hire two more indivual."

"I don't worry about their handling." Yun Liu explained softly, then walked slowly to her side, looked down at the scattered objects on the table, and said shyly: "I don't know if Mr. Lin will come today, there are still people in the room." It's messy, I'll clean it up now."

After she finished speaking, she was about to tidy up the things on the table, Lin Sishen hurriedly grabbed her wrist, and said with some dissatisfaction: "You are already sick, so don't work any longer, just sit down and rest."

Lin Sishen's gentle hand was on her wrist, Yun Liu's body trembled, she lowered her head motionless, bit her lips and said softly, "Then...then I won't accept it."

Lin Sishen let go of his hand in embarrassment, then coughed lightly and said, "Sit down and rest."

"En." Yun Liu responded and sat down beside Lin Sishen. She lowered her eyebrows submissively, and after a long time she raised her eyes to look at Lin Sishen, and asked softly, "Mr. Served in the court?"

Lin Sishen nodded, and sat opposite Yun Liu with his sleeves flicked, and said calmly, "It's just a fifth-rank foreign official."

Although his official position is not very high, but Lin Sishen can serve in the Ministry of War at such an age, in the eyes of outsiders, his future is boundless.

Yun Liu's hands hidden in her sleeves slowly tightened, she smiled bitterly and said, "At Mr. Lin's age, I think his official career will be smooth in the future."

Lin Sishen didn't want to talk about her official position with Yun Liu, so she changed the subject with a faint smile: "Let's not talk about that, did you ever ask the doctor to see you when you were sick?"

Yun Liu pursed her lips, her gaze fell on Lin Sishen's face gently, and carefully sized her up: "No problem, it's just that I'm overworked, it will be fine after a while of cultivation."

Hearing this, Lin Sishen couldn't help complaining: "You also know that you need to cultivate yourself to be good, and you are busy making rouge and gouache when you are not lying down."

Yun Liu froze for a moment, looked at Lin Sishen for a long time and didn't speak.

Seeing her staring at him in a daze, Lin Sishen couldn't help asking: "Yun Liu, what's wrong with you?"

Yun Liu lowered her eyes silently, with tears in her eyes, she said softly: "Young Master Lin, Yun Liu doesn't ask for much, even if he can't stay with you, Yun Liu only wants to be the same as before. My confidante, if you have any worries in the future, you can come to find Yunliu, okay?"

Lin Sishen sighed faintly, she pondered for a moment and was about to answer.

But when she heard a knock on the door in a hurry, Tao Hong said in a flustered tone: "Miss, Princess Qingyang is here, and she is in the hall now."
