Meilin Zangshu

"Grandma!"

When Lin Shuwang met the Empress Dowager who was waving to him with a kind smile, she yelled with a smile, and then quickly ran over.

The gray-haired empress dowager stroked his hair, then took the brocade handkerchief from the nurse beside her, and gently wiped the thin sweat off Lin Shu's head.

"Grandma, why are you here?"

The Empress Dowager was supported by Lin Shu and walked towards the inner hall, and said kindly: "What else can I do, of course Grandma misses you. You have been back to Beijing from Dayu for so long, and you only entered the palace to kowtow to me twice, Grandma I was too busy in the harem all day, so I went out to see Xiaoshu." Lin Shu smiled and said coquettishly, "Grandma, if you miss me, you can stay in Lin's mansion for a few more days, as long as you don't bother me, I will Surrounding you, Grandma, every day."

The Empress Dowager couldn't help laughing out loud, patted his head and said: "Why do you circle around me all day, I think you circle around Jing Yu all day."

Lin Shu laughed twice, but did not deny it.

The empress dowager herself mentioned Jing Yu, but she suddenly missed him, "Xiao Shu, Jing Yu hasn't entered the palace for a few days to pay my respects. Today, the grandma is out of the palace, so you go and call him over. Let's have a good talk with our grandparents." .”

Lin Shu responded with a smile, and ordered the nuns around the Empress Dowager to take good care of her. When she left the inner hall door, she didn't go outside the Lin residence, but went directly into her own inner courtyard.

The flush on Xiao Jingyu's face hadn't faded yet, when he saw Lin Shu coming in, he hurriedly asked, "Where's grandma?"

Lin Shu said: "I calmed down for the time being, but Grandma Tai said she wants to see us, Jing Yu, you... If you are not feeling well, then don't go, I can talk to her and relax by myself."

Xiao Jingyu glared at him angrily, "You also know the word 'unshuangli', just now the notification has arrived outside the door, and you still..." He didn't say a word, but his face turned redder.

Lin Shu was so disturbed by the sight, he couldn't help but went over and kissed him again, and said to him carefully, "It's not Jing Yu who bit me to death. When I heard the news from outside, I panicked. The panicked but the more reluctant to let me pull it out. After all, I have to serve you well before I can go to see Grandma..."

Xiao Jingyu turned his head aside, snorted and didn't respond.Lin Shu hurriedly helped him dress, taking advantage from time to time, causing Xiao Jingyu to stare at him angrily.

After tidying up, Xiao Jingyu pretended to come from King Qi's Mansion to Lin Mansion to meet the Empress Dowager, and walked in through the main entrance of the front hall. After Lin Shu had a brotherly respect with him, he led the way to the inner hall.

The empress dowager didn't see her grandson for many days, and she talked to him affectionately for a long time. As she talked, the old man began to worry about getting married and having children.The Empress Dowager patted Xiao Jingyu's palm and asked kindly, "Jing Yu, when will you get married?"

Xiao Jingyu couldn't help but glanced at Lin Shu, then smiled respectfully, and replied, "Grandma, Jingyu has a lot of important things to do, and he doesn't intend to get married anytime soon."

The Empress Dowager said: "The affairs of the court are really busy, but no matter how busy you are, you have to take care of yourself. Look at your Prince Qi's mansion, there is not even a side concubine, let alone someone who is considerate of your warmth. If you Let go of the embarrassment, then the grandma will tell His Majesty the emperor for you, the ladies of the three provinces and six departments of the court, the grandma will make the decision for you to marry whoever you like."

Lin Shu wanted to blurt out "No", but Xiao Jingyu saw his expression and cut in front of him and said, "Grandma! A few days ago, Jing Yu asked Qin Tian to do a calculation, saying that it was not suitable for marriage within three to five years. , Jing Yu understands Grandma's good intentions, but after all, it is God's will that cannot be disobeyed, and after these few years are not suitable for marriage, it will not be too late for Grandma to come and give her a marriage."

The Empress Dowager seemed a little disappointed, but Qin Tianjian's approval still had some weight in the end, she sighed and said a few intimate words to Jing Yu, and then her eyes fell on Lin Shu.

Lin Shu thumped in his heart, and said before Grandma Tai could speak, "Grandma Grandma, Qin Tianjian also calculated for me, saying that she is not suitable for marriage within three to five years like Jing Yu."

The Empress Dowager was extremely disappointed, she knocked on Lin Shu's head and said: "Then why didn't you marry Nihuang girl into Lin's mansion as soon as possible?"

Lin Shu twitched the corner of his mouth, "Grandma, Nihuang is just a younger sister, and I have nothing to do with her."

The Empress Dowager snorted: "You are too old to be a grandma, and the girl Nihuang sticks to you all day long, her eyes are filled with her little brother Lin Shu. Before you go to Dayu, the grandma prepared it for you. The decree, but you stubbornly refused to accept the decree, and you don't know what you've been thinking about in your little head all day long."

After speaking, she poked Lin Shu on the forehead quite dissatisfied.

Xiao Jingyu and Lin Shu glanced at each other secretly, their eyes turned affectionately, and there was a smile on their faces.The Empress Dowager held Lin Shu in one hand and Xiao Jingyu in the other, looked to the left and then to the right, and advised, "You two should hurry up and get married!"

The two couldn't help but think a little more, glanced at each other, then both looked at the Empress Dowager, and agreed: "Okay, we two must hurry up and get married!"

The Empress Dowager seemed to feel that something was wrong, but the two grandchildren clearly promised that they would get married soon, and apart from being happy, they didn't care about anything else.

Upon waking up, yin and yang are separated.

Mei Changsu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, and observed the funeral ceremony of fasting for three days for the grandmother who had not waited until he was cleared of his grievances.Zhen Ping Li Gang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He just vomited blood last night, and started fasting and observance again the next day. Cold master.

But even though they persuaded the suzerain to eat, Mei Changsu remained unmoved. He burned the paper money bit by bit, not only for the newly mourned grandma, but also for everyone under Jiuquan.Nihuang, who was far away in Yunnan, hurried back to Jinling, and after kneeling with all the officials in the court to pray to the spirit, she rushed to the Su Mansion without stopping to meet the person she was thinking of.

Nihuang, dressed in plain clothes, accompanied Mei Changsu, and said in a low voice, "Brother, Grandma's remains are peaceful, and she walked very peacefully."

Mei Changsu's palm trembled, "Did you see her?"

Nihuang nodded and said yes.

Mei Changsu looked at the paper money that was gradually being swallowed in the brazier, and said softly, "Grandma left before I could go back, and my last relative is gone." Nihuang quickly squeezed his hand, "Who said Yes! You still have Aunt Jing, Jingyan, Brother Mengzhi...and me! We are all your relatives!"

Mei Changsu suddenly smiled wryly, and staggered slightly. He looked at the fine wrinkles at the corners of Nihuang's eyes, and said bitterly in his heart, "Nihuang, you should understand my intentions. After he dies, I'm just a walking corpse. There is no room for anyone anymore.”

Nihuang couldn't help crying, she gently wiped away the tears, and smiled desolately: "I understand, but I... don't care!"

"But I do care!" Mei Changsu sighed deeply, "I have only regarded you as my younger sister from the beginning to the end. Even if my grandma gave you the marriage back then, I did not agree, because from the beginning to the end my heart was only for you. Jingyu is alone. Nihuang, I can't let you continue to sink in the mud beside me, after the Manchu civil and military kneels for a month, you can go back to Yunnan!"

Nihuang stared at him blankly, tears couldn't stop falling, she shook her head desperately, choked up and said: "No! Brother Lin Shu, I won't go! I don't want to go back to Yunnan, don't go back to that place thousands of miles away from you You... If you really don't want to see me, I can, I can go to guard the mausoleum and keep watch for my grandma, just please don't drive me away, don't let me experience the feeling of losing a loved one again..."

She cried so hard that Mei Changsu couldn't help remembering the little princess who was proud of others but shy to herself. He sighed bitterly and finally nodded.

Because of the national mourning, Xie Yu's original death sentence was changed to exile in Guizhou.

Princess Liyang took Jingrui and Xie Bi to see him off, and sent a word of advice from Qilin talent, asking Xie Yu to write a letter.After Xie Yu thought about it, he understood Mei Changsu's intentions. This letter, which was entrusted to the eldest princess's custody, was full of his conspiracy with Xia Jiang. Once his life was in danger, this letter would be made public.

After sighing, the former Yipin Hou Ye took the package and water and fire sticks and set off on the road.

In the harem, on Concubine Jing's birthday, she pityed Prince Jing for not being able to enter the palace all the time, which happened to fall into Emperor Liang's ears, and after Xie Yu fell from the horse, Prince Yuwang scrambled for the power to patrol the battalion, so the disturbed Emperor Liang After rewarding Prince Jing, he can enter the palace to see his mother and concubine at any time, and also handed over the patrol battalion to him.

The snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit, and the Prince Yu Wang is so regretful that his intestines are almost green.After returning to the mansion, King Yu lost his temper, and by the way, he also reprimanded Qin Banruo, who had been unfavorable in intelligence recently. The hostess of the red sleeve move tightly grasped her palm, but there was no rebuttal.During the recent period, her subordinates suffered too much damage, and countless eyeliner coefficients buried in the palace of the court officials were cut off, so that they did nothing for a while.

However, after all, she has been in charge of Hongxiu Zhao for many years, and her methods are sophisticated, and it didn't take long for her to discover clues from the chaos.

After King Yu lost his temper, he hurried to the Su residence, ready to ask Mei Changsu for advice.Meng Zhi, who happened to come to talk to Mei Changsu, had no choice but to quickly escape into the secret room, and wait for King Yu to leave before coming out. Afraid of being bored, he picked up the "Xiang Di Ji" on Mei Changsu's desk.It's a pity that after taking a second glance, there were a lot of uncommon characters in the book, so he turned the pages to find a few simple and easy-to-understand patterns to watch.

Watching and watching, Prince Jing suddenly walked in from the other side of the passage in the secret room.

After King Jing asked the reason, he also sat down on the other side. He picked up the "Xiang Di Ji" and read it. He saw that there were countless anecdotes about mountains and rivers in the book, and there were notes in Mr. Su's clear handwriting.Mei Changsu sent Queen Yu away, and walked towards the secret room briskly: "Commander Meng, how does it feel to stay in this secret room..."

In the middle of speaking, he saw Prince Jing.

Mei Changsu quickly recalled in his mind that there was something wrong with his words just now, he held his breath slightly, and immediately invited the two of them into the room to talk.Mei Changsu mentioned the matter of Prince Jing's control of the patrol battalion, and congratulated Prince Jing on his upcoming appointment as prince. Prince Jing was stunned for a moment, and then he understood from Mei Changsu's instructions that it is a good idea to enter the palace anytime to pay his respects. Prince's exclusive privilege.

After some discussion, His Royal Highness King Jing bowed to leave. Before leaving, he picked up the "Xiang Di Ji", looked at Mei Changsu and said, "This book is quite interesting, Mr. Su, can you lend me a few days to read it?"

Mei Changsu's eyes flickered, as if he was hesitant, but after a while he smiled and replied, "It's just a travel journal, Your Highness can read it if you want."

Prince Jing nodded, then took his leave and left.Meng Zhi intentionally stayed behind, seeing that Mei Changsu seemed hesitant to speak, he quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with that book?"

Mei Changsu shook his head slowly: "Probably not, the pen annotations are not the regular script that I learned before, and there is no evidence left in the book..." He suddenly paused, "It's just that there are a few places with the same name as my mother's boudoir. , when I annotate, I will inevitably reduce the strokes according to my previous habits to avoid taboos... But Jingyan doesn't know, so there should be no flaws."

Meng Zhi asked: "Then what are you worried about?"

Mei Changsu put his hands on his chest, and said inexplicably, "I don't know, I always feel that something is wrong...Maybe it's because I haven't had a good rest."

Meng Zhi persuaded him for a long time, staring at him to take the medicine before leaving in peace.

Fei Liu jumped out from the corner, holding Ting Sheng's homework in one hand and the wooden eagle in the other, and went to meet his brother Su with a smile on his face.The inexplicable uneasiness in Mei Changsu's heart still persisted, and even though he felt drowsy gradually after taking the medicine, he still couldn't completely settle down.He looked up and saw Fei Liu, smiled and said, "Did you go to Prince Jing's mansion to play with Ting Sheng again?"

Fei Liu obediently sat beside him, smiling brightly, "A gift."

Mei Changsu looked at the wooden eagle in his hand, with gentle eyes, "Is this a gift from Tingsheng?"

Fei Liu nodded vigorously, then handed over the scroll in his other hand, and said, "Homework."

"Okay..." Mei Changsu smiled softly, stroked Fei Liu's temples, then took over the homework and looked through it carefully.

As early as when Tingsheng was taken into Prince Jing's mansion by Prince Jing, Mei Changsu intended to teach him to read and read, but Prince Jing, worried about his physical condition, did not agree to this matter.After Mei Changsu found out, he used Feiliu as a bridge to borrow Confucian classics from Tingsheng, and often left homework to correct and teach him to become a talent.Prince Jing was worried that Mei Changsu would be exhausted by teaching, so he stopped him a few times but failed to stop him, and finally he silently agreed.

Mei Changsu commented on the problems in his homework one by one, and handed them to Fei Liu, watching him leave and looking at the desk with the fragrance of ink left behind, he somehow remembered the past.At that time, in order to follow Jing Yu as an example, he worshiped Mr. Li Chong in order to be proficient in all aspects of literature, Taoism and martial arts. Occasionally, he would ask Jing Yu for advice if there was something he didn't understand in the book. Patiently explain one by one, and pass on all the insights you have gained.As long as Jing Yu has a look of admiration in his eyes, he can be happy for half a month.

In the blink of an eye, today, the people who give all their money to teach and study hard have become the blood of him and Jing Yu.

Mei Changsu sighed softly.

Xiao Jingrui, who has been living in the princess mansion since Xie Yu was exiled, finally agreed to go to Nanchu to visit his seriously ill biological father under the persuasion of his half-sister Yu Wennian.Before leaving, he paid three obeisances and nine kowtows to his biological mother, Princess Liyang, and then told Xie Bi to take care of his mother, and then set foot on the road to Nanchu.

Not long after leaving the city gate, Yan Yujin hurried over on horseback.

The two of them looked at each other for a long while, but they didn't know what to say, Yan Yu pondered over it, and still advised him not to take matters of grievances from his seniors to heart.Xiao Jingrui replied with a wry smile: "Everything changed overnight. My parents, brothers, and bloodlines are all impossible to let go. Yujin, I know you still want me to be the Xiao Jingrui I used to be, but...it's too much. Difficult……"

Yan Yujin was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Everyone is subject to change, and we are also constantly changing, but Jing Rui, I hope that no matter what you become, you will not forget me, okay?"

Xiao Jingrui nodded slowly.

Yan Yujin took a step forward, embraced him, and said softly almost as if sighing, "I...we will wait for your return in Jinling City."

Xiao Jingrui tightened his arms, closed his eyes and said, "Okay."

Mei Changsu, who was waiting with his hands behind his back in the old pavilion in the distance, couldn't help feeling sour. He sighed, "There are so many people in the world who are of the same age and share the same interests. They could have been friends forever, but who would have expected that they would be surprised and changed. From now on, I can only watch the end of the world and the road far away..."

Seeing the suzerain's miserable expression, Li Gang at the side couldn't help remembering His Royal Highness King Qi back then.

Similar in age and like-minded, one person studies hard for the other person in order to achieve both civil and military skills, while the other person imparts the peerless beauty to each other. The two people who were originally a pair of beautiful couples suddenly encountered the unjust case of Meiling overnight. , the young general fell off a cliff and was poisoned and escaped death. A generation of virtuous kings cried and committed suicide when they heard the news of his death.

Right now, Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin, the two young masters, could still travel far and far away and agreed to reunite, but the suzerain and that highness were separated by life and death, and could only rely on endless memories and the short-lived reunion of dreaming every night. the rest of my life.
