Should marry a concubine heart illuminating the moon

During the Qingming Festival, there was a lot of rain. Before the Qingming Festival, it rained heavily for several days in Longcheng. Lao Cai ate pork with pickled vegetables and pork ribs with garlic for several days, and his waist was obviously fatter.It is said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, and there was this excuse before, but now Shen Yuxin, who is a woman, can only spend time in front of the hall as a conscientious cook.Occasionally, when Song Mingyue came to talk with Chen Guyue, when he was tired, he would come to give Shen Yuxin a helping hand.I had a pretty clean life.

With Chen Guyue, the King of Hades, Yan Mengqing from Yumeng would not dare to eat at the same table, and would only look at the plum blossoms to quench his thirst every time he smelled the aroma.But even if the delicious food is in front of her, Chen Guyue still tastes it lightly, Shen Yu can't help but be wary when she admires this kind of character and restraint.

On this day, Shen Yuxin was still worrying in front of the stove as usual, Taoist Wu Xun's mouth that had tasted the world's delicacies was not easy to serve, and he got tired of new dishes within two days.Song Mingyue rubbed her shoulders and entered the door, and joked when she saw this, "And when Chef Shen is worried?"

Shen Yuxin raised her head and smiled wryly: "If I knew it earlier, I might as well go to the hut to pick manure and water the flowers."

Song Mingyue immediately poohed three times when she heard the words, her brows were slightly frowned: "I will not be able to eat enough to eat in the future with dirty words in front of the stove!"

"Where did you hear the unreasonable sayings?" Shen Yuxin rolled up her sleeves, seemingly thinking about it, "Speaking of sayings, will it be Qingming in a few days?"

Song Mingyue was slightly taken aback, her eyes dimmed, "It's almost here."

"How did you and Mingjue worship each other in the past?" Shen Yu knew in her heart that Xiaojiabiyu's sad events would definitely be involved, so she asked as gently as possible.

"There are rules in the palace, open flames are not allowed, I haven't lived much before." Song Mingyue lowered her head, her voice was like fine lines.In fact, one year, Song Mingyue was so sad that she couldn't help but stole some waste paper from the Confucian Academy and burned it as paper money.Unlucky, in the middle of the night by the Lvzao Lake, the guards who patrolled him caught the stolen goods on the spot. He was beaten and kicked hard and let Zhao Zongqian know about it. He banned the feet of the siblings for half a month. At that time, Song Mingjue caught the wind and cold and almost died.If someone hadn't delivered the medicine in time, Song Mingjue would have died long ago, but Song Mingyue still doesn't know who the kind-hearted person who delivered the medicine and meals to them during that time was.

Seeing that she was distracted, Shen Yuxin was afraid of reminding her of her sad past, so she hurriedly interrupted: "It's okay, let's go to the empress to beg for mercy tomorrow, and let's go out of the palace to worship."

"Your Majesty, can you agree?" Song Mingyue obviously didn't believe it.

Shen Yu raised her chin, and said to herself: "How can I say that I am also a sweet potato in the palace. I am not allowed in such a small matter, and it is too unreasonable. I will not embarrass me with the method of winning people's hearts. , you can rest assured."

Song Mingyue smiled, and it was like a pot of warm wine on a cloudy day, reaching Shen Yuxin's heart.

The two were chatting happily when a small servant came in a hurry, and the rain wetted a large area of ​​his shoulders.The little servant boy glanced at Song Mingyue, tiptoed into Shen Yuxin's ear and whispered a few words, seeing Shen Yuxin nodding, the little servant boy wanted to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute, drink this bowl of ginger soup, don't catch a cold." Shen Yuxin called to him, and handed the ginger soup over.

The little servant boy smiled honestly, drank the soup all at once, wiped his mouth and left in a hurry.Song Mingyue looked at it calmly, and said naturally: "It's no wonder that the hearts of the people in this yard are all towards you. Maybe you and Meng Yan will turn against each other one day."

"You're wrong. I treat others with sincerity, and others will treat me with sincerity. But there are also people who treat you like a wolf with all their heart and soul. Not all their efforts will be rewarded."

Song Mingyue looked at her with a smile on her face, "Then you treat me sincerely?"

"Why not?" Shen Yu was puzzled and obviously a little shocked. Song Mingyue's question was understandable to anyone, but how could she be asked about it?

"Then what did the little servant boy tell you just now?"

Only now did Shen Yuxin understand in her heart, but in the end she couldn't get angry, she curled her mouth and said: "Next time if you have any questions, just ask directly, and I don't need to waste such effort."

Song Mingyue, who was used to being cautious in words and deeds, was slightly taken aback, apparently never thinking of a day when they would meet so frankly.He pursed his lips, speechless.It's strange to say that even to her mentor Chen Guyue, she can still be ruthless and be a wolf-hearted person.But Shen Yuxin, not to mention the whole sincerity, even a part of it, made Song Mingyue feel uneasy.

Xiaojia Biyu's pitiful embarrassment made the soft-hearted Shen Yu feel a little regretful, so she softened her voice and said, "Have you heard of the Jiangnan Pei family?"

The Pei family in Jiangnan County has prospered since the previous dynasty, and Song Mingyue when she was a child often had new clothes sent from Jiangnan County to wear, and there were countless festivals.Song Mingyue suppressed her thoughts and asked, "Jiangnan Pei's Embroidery Village?"

"Exactly." Concubine Shen glanced at the door with a guilty conscience, then moved to Song Mingyue's side and said, "When I was outside the palace, I had some friendship with Miss Pei's family, so I drew a new sample and sent it to her. , Earn some silver for yourself."

"What!?" Song Mingyue was startled and angry, "What's the difference between you and taking him out of the palace privately?"

"How can this be confused?" Shen Yu held a dustpan of green vegetables in his heart, and while choosing vegetables, he said confidently: "Don't think I don't know, those eunuchs in the palace, oh, they are like the ones around the empress. Eunuch Chang, don’t you also have your own business outside the palace? People can plan ahead and save some money for the rest of their lives. Why can’t I earn some money by my own ability? What’s more, I’m not selling paintings. Clothes are for sale."

What Shen Yuxin said was also true. It was common for many powerful eunuchs in the palace to take advantage of their convenience to do business on the tower bridge outside the palace.For example, the restaurant that is usually set up outside the palace is not only for earning money, but also for gathering news for the empress.What's more, the little salary in the palace alone can't support those who work outside the palace. After all, the wool comes from sheep, and who in the palace doesn't have any wealth in their hands?

Thinking about it this way, Song Mingyue felt relieved a lot.During those days when Shen Yuxin was outside the palace, she did not lose some money from the palace people. Relying on these hard-earned money, Song Mingjue's life in the Confucius Institute was finally much easier.

"You... Be more careful." Song Mingyue shouldn't be at ease with taking people's money and eating others' mouths, but after taking too much and holding it for a long time, she didn't know when she became more and more at ease, which made her a little at a loss as to what to do.

But the culprit didn't take it seriously at all, he smiled harmlessly and said: "It's okay, even if someone bumps into me, I have already thought about my excuses, how can I say that I am also the fourth-rank secretary of the Royal Majesty, Ordinary people don’t care about it.”

Song Mingyue hummed, and the discomfort in her heart became more and more insane, just as she was competing with herself.Shen Yuxin said again: "Hey, I heard that in a few days, someone surnamed Zhao will go to Mount Fuhua to worship his ancestors? Who is the ancestor of the Zhao family?"

Song Mingyue looked up with a dull expression, it seemed that a few strands of ghosts had flown out of the sky, and it took some effort to return to her.Shen Yu smiled heartily: "What are you thinking?"

Song Mingyue, who finally regained her soul, was also a little awkward in her speech, and said, "You're talking about the Cold Food Festival? It's... yes, everyone with the surname Zhao goes to Mount Fuhua to offer sacrifices every year, and I've never heard of any ancestors present. "

Shen Yuxin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What are you talking nonsense about?"

Song Mingyue knew she was wrong, so she couldn't help but blushed, and lowered her head to choose vegetables in a muffled voice.The sound of the drizzle on the eaves is long and long, making people calm and calm. Just when a few gusts of breeze came, they brushed against the ears of the woman who was in full bloom.

"Green bamboos are leaning against the lakeside, and beautiful women fall into their dreams. If you can paint for a lifetime, what more can you ask for." Shen Yu couldn't help herself, muttering to herself.

"What are you talking about?" Xiaojia Biyu looked up, she was already peerless and independent.

Shen Yu laughed heartily, and said insincerely: "I said, since the surname Zhao has no ancestors to worship, what ancestors do they worship every year?"

Song Mingyue Xu had the intention of letting go of his work, and patiently explained: "The Hukui army broke through the city and walked the official road of Fuhua Mountain. The soldiers who fought with Zhao Zongqian to fight the world. Chen Guyue once said that if the old troops of the Hu Kui Army are not killed, the world will not change their surnames. However, there were [-] generals in the Hu Kui Army back then, and now most of them are in various In the barracks, even the Zhenbei Crusade in Chuyan City also has many old Hu Kui troops."

"That's how it is." A light flashed in Shen Yu's mind, "No wonder the surname Zhao is willing to marry his daughter to the Chu family. It seems that many people have guessed the emperor's intentions wrongly, thinking that marrying a daughter is a trade-off. But I never thought it would be a wonderful plan to secretly combine Chen Cang and Chen Cang!"

Song Mingyue was very disdainful of Gu, and said: "The surname Zhao has hidden the ignorant common people, how can he hide the bright-minded ministers of the court? You can imagine it, such as Xiao Xuanzhong Wencheng Zuoqiu Mingna Can the best of the best guess it?"

Shen Yuxin, who had been slapped in the face, didn't notice it at all, and still said to herself: "What if those so-called loyal old troops defected? After all, it has been 12 years, and it is impossible for a hundred thousand generals to get the glory they deserve. Wealth and honor, there will always be some unsatisfactory people who join the Zhenbei Army?"

Song Mingyue unconsciously frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and half-believingly said: "According to your opinion, Chu Yancheng still has rebellion?"

Shen Yuxin smiled slightly: "If there is, wouldn't it be better?"

Song Mingyue suddenly lowered her voice, and said: "Let's not talk about this for the time being. After you said this, I just remembered that when I was just watching chess, Chen Guyue seemed to tell everyone that the surname Zhao had something important to announce on the day of worshiping the ancestors. world."

"He didn't say what the big deal is?" Shen Yuxin asked.

Song Mingyue shook her head regretfully: "I haven't made it clear yet." She paused, and then said: "But between the words, it seems to be related to the prince."

Shen Yuxin only thought for a moment, then took a breath, and said nonsense: "Could it be possible to establish a reserve!?"

Song Mingyue rolled her eyes immediately, and said angrily, "Thank you for figuring it out, the establishment of the East Palace during the Cold Food Festival, should we celebrate or be sad?"

Shen Yuxin rubbed her chin and said solemnly: "If an incompetent person is established, then he should be sad."

Song Mingyue was so angry that she lost her temper, so she could only vent her anger with the vegetable leaves in her hand, and muttered softly, "Fool..."
