King’s House Kindergarten

After returning to the garden for a long time, Shen Yue seemed to be stunned.

Zhuang called her twice before she came back to her senses, "...Auntie?"

Mrs Zhuang stepped forward with some worry in his eyes, "What's the matter? It seems like he's lost his mind... But what happened on the way?"

Shen Yue shook her head, "No, it's just... When I said goodbye to the children of the palace just now, I cried a lot. I was thinking about a few children..."

Shen Yue felt uneasy in her heart, and she was afraid that Mrs Zhuang would continue to ask questions.

Mrs. Zhuang stepped forward and saw that her face was blushing, her eyes paused, but she didn't ask any more, she just gathered up the clothes that were on her body, and said softly, "The water for washing is ready in the room, you can't ask again. I stayed up last night this morning, and today I am now, go wash and rest, and I will talk about it tomorrow."

Shen Yue felt as if she had been granted amnesty, and her face softened a little, "Okay, then I'll go back to the house first, Auntie."

"Well." Mrs Zhuang looked at her back, and turned to look at the direction of the door, as if thinking of something, and could not help frowning slightly.

***

When he returned to the room, Mrs. Zhuang took off the robe he had just put on before returning to the bed.

"Is A Yue back?" Liang Youwei asked.

"Yes." Mr. Zhuang replied, with a sigh in his voice.

Liang Youwei opened his eyes, "What's wrong?"

Mrs Zhuang turned around, laying on his side to face him, and said softly, "I just saw Ayue... I don't know what I was thinking about at the door. After thinking about it for a long time, the whole person stood at the door and didn't move."

"Did something happen?" Liang Youwei stood up with his hands up, his eyes were a little nervous, but he quickly calmed down again, "Yesterday, when A Yue came back, there were guards from the Pingyuan Palace, not to mention it's so late today? There must be guards in the palace. With the guards from the Pingyuan palace, there should be no trouble..."

Liang Youwei pondered.

Zhuang Shi smiled, "What else can Ayue have? I mean, Ayue has reached this age, and if there is something, it is something that a girl of this age should have. ... The girl's mind is not as good as Ye'er, Hansheng, I'm guessing that she has a sweetheart, maybe she came back with her sweetheart..."

As soon as Mr. Zhuang said, Liang Youwei was also stunned, "Pingyuan Palace?"

Liang Youwei didn't have any doubts earlier, "It shouldn't be... There are so many noble girls in Beijing, why would they like A Yue?"

Zhuang explained, "There are so many guards and attendants in the Pingyuan Palace, but there are not one or two people who are very personable?"

Liang Youwei seemed to have a sudden realization.

Zhuang continued, "Xu Shi, is there anyone in the palace who is about the same age as Yueyue?"

Liang Youwei seemed to be more transparent, "Yes, I will ask Huo Ming about the letter tomorrow. He has been in the Pingyuan Palace. Even if he doesn't notice it on weekdays, he will know if he asks, and it will save you. I'm guessing here..."

Mrs Zhuang nodded, "We Yueyue are not that kind of girl who clings to the powerful, so I don't worry about that. It's just that Yueyue has grown up, and she has always had her own opinions. If she likes it, she really likes it, will it... ..." Mr. Zhuang paused, "Could it be that he is really close to the prince who is about the same age in the palace?"

Liang Youwei also paused. He only thought of King Pingyuan going, but he didn't think of this.

If they are of the same age and have a good family background, it is easy for the little girl to like them.

Liang Youwei said solemnly, "I'll ask Huo Ming tomorrow to find out..."

***

Xu Shi had stayed up all night and had not rested during the day. After taking a shower, Shen Yue lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.

I can't even think about what happened earlier.

When I woke up the next day, it was over. When breakfast was served in the hall, I heard Liang Ye say that Pingyuan Wangfu and his party had left Shancheng.

Shen Yue bit her chopsticks, her eyes stagnant.

However, Liang Ye couldn't open the pot and lift it, "I saw yesterday that the children in the palace like you very much, and I should be reluctant to part with you. Why didn't you deliver it this morning?"

Shen Yue said in a low voice, "I won't go, I only cried yesterday, and after coaxing them for a long time, I said goodbye to them, and I finally stopped crying... If I go now, it will only make the children sad. sad……"

Liang Ye looked at her.

Seeing her finish speaking, her eyes were fixed in one place without moving.

"Ayue?" Liang Ye changed again.

Shen Yue turned her head, "Huh?"

Liang Ye looked at her, but still said, "The chopsticks are held upside down..."

Shen Yue apologized.

***

When she suddenly had time to spare, Shen Yue could finally start nibbling on the books she had collected earlier.

Without the children in the mansion, she seemed to suddenly have a lot of time. She could read books, make annotations, and make summaries. Half a day passed quickly.

As noon approached, she accompanied her aunt to pick vegetables in the yard outside the kitchen.

My aunt talked to her from time to time, and she went to work in the kitchen from time to time, and life seemed to return to the earlier days in an instant.

When I didn't go to the Pingyuan Palace.

At that time, there were no Xiaowu, Xiaoqi, Taotao, Suisui, Zhuoxin, Asi, Cong Qing and Shaoai, and there was no... Qingzhi.

She was inexplicably stunned.

I don't know why I remember this name.

"Ayue?" Mrs. Zhuang saw her in a trance.

She flipped her ears and hair, smiled lightly, "God lost."

Mrs Zhuang stepped forward, "Ayue, do you have something on your mind?"

"No." Shen Yue smiled. After a while, she said again, "I'm just a little worried about the children of the palace group, will there be trouble on the road..."

Zhuang Shi also smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

***

After lunch, Hansheng went to take a nap.

Shen Yue woke up not long ago, without sleepiness, she was reading in the study. When Hansheng woke up, Shen Yue accompanied him to write.

Leaving Beijing in October, it is now the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month, and Hansheng's calligraphy has improved a step further.

"Hansheng, did your uncle tell you about returning to Beijing after the new year?" Shen Yue asked.

Han Sheng nodded sensible, "Speaking."

Shen Yue touched his head and said softly, "If you have time to spend more time with your aunt, she is the best to you on weekdays. If you go to Qiming Academy, the accommodation will be in the school, I'm afraid it will only be available during the summer vacation. When you come back to see your uncle and aunt, they will miss you..."

Han Sheng nodded, "I know my sister, I will spend more time with my aunt."

Shen Yue put her arms around him and asked, "What book have you read recently?"

Shen Hansheng smiled and said, "I have finished reading all the books that my sister sent me, and I was also among the best in the exams in the private school. The master said that I was supposed to study. I told the master that my sister's homework was much better than mine, and the master also Do not believe!"

Shen Yue smiled, and reached out and touched his head again, "I just studied earlier than you. When you go to Qiming Academy in the future, I won't be able to chase you away..."

Shen Hansheng's thoughts lit up before Shen Yue added, "It's strange..."

Shen Hansheng burst out laughing.

The two siblings laughed together.

***

Later, Liang Ye returned home and said that the documents from the army had been handed in, and there would be news after the year.

Seeing that Shen Yue was in a good mood, he pulled Shen Yue to play chess together, but Shen Yue did not refuse.

Just playing chess also has to play Gobang, Go is too difficult...

Liang Ye was curious and funny, "I really don't know where you learned these weird things from?"

Shen Yue said calmly, "In the book... There is everything in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book!"

Liang Ye wanted to die.

Shen Yue's five sons are connected.

Liang Ye was speechless.

Later in the day, Shen Yue accompanied Zhuang to the market.

Before the New Year’s Day, I always have to buy a lot of New Year’s goods. As the New Year’s Day is approaching, it is better to buy it earlier. After a few days, I have to move around with the powerful and powerful in the same city.

It's just that a single city is really not big.

When Shen Yue took Zhuang's hand to go to the market, almost every moment someone would come forward to greet Zhuang, and because of her eyesight, she couldn't help but look at her more and asked this? Her aunt would introduce her generously, and her promising niece would also greet her generously.

Shen Yue had a headache.

Zhuang Shi smiled and said, not yet...

Along the way, there were actually eight or nine families who said there was a handsome boy in the family, and some who chased Mrs.

Shen Yue had a headache.

When buying the new calendar, Shen Yue suddenly remembered the extracurricular activities in Laba earlier, and the scene of Suisui and Taotao buying the new calendar seemed to be still vivid in her mind. Sighed, "It's the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month today?"

Zhuang Shi smiled, "Isn't it? There are still a few days before the Chinese New Year."

Shen Yue was stunned, remembering that she told Xiao Wu earlier that she would watch fireworks with him during the Chinese New Year...

Shen Yue's eyes narrowed slightly.

Mrs. Zhuang went to the inside to pick up the Spring Festival couplets. The servant girl who had just returned to the shop didn't know that she was with her aunt. Seeing her standing in front of the cabinet, she greeted her with a smile, "Does the girl want to buy red envelopes? These are for children. 's red envelopes with zodiac signs on them."

Shen Yue's eyes were attracted.

Sure enough, the little servant took out a bag of red envelopes.

The red envelopes at this time are really red envelopes...

Shen Yue said inexplicably, "Would you please help me put it together?"

"Okay!" The boy did as he did.

When returning home, Shen Yue was still staring at the red envelope in her hand in a daze.

The children in different palaces were in the same place at the next year's closing time, and for some reason, they bought it out of a ghost.

After reading the zodiac pattern above, and thinking of the corresponding children, I can imagine the scene when the children got the red envelopes.

The corners of Shen Yue's mouth twitched slightly.

A little, and put it in the drawer easily.

***

Tonight's dinner was delicious. In Liang Ye's words, because she came back, my aunt racked her brains to cook something delicious for her.

Shen Yue said with a smile, it's good to know who's blessing, so don't hurry to eat.

Uncle and Han Sheng couldn't help laughing.

Aunt and Liang Ye are even worse.

When I was with my family, I was actually very happy, but Shen Yue sometimes suddenly remembered that Tao Tao and Xiao Wu, one refused to eat vegetables, and the other was suffering from a long period of time, did they both eat well...

Shen Yue bit her chopsticks.

Soon, I found myself in a trance again, and I don't know how many times I came back today.

After dinner, Liang Ye and Shen Hansheng took the initiative to wash dishes.

Before and after the New Year, it was the busiest time for the yamen. Liang Youwei had a reunion dinner and returned to the yamen on business.

Shen Yue and her aunt took a walk in the garden to digest food.

After the digestion, her aunt began to teach her to comb her hair and put on makeup, and Shen Yue was forced to learn.

In fact, what to learn is secondary, as long as my aunt is happy.

When her aunt left the room, Shen Yue suddenly realized that the day had passed.

Time at home seems to pass quickly, and it seems to pass especially slowly.

After relaxing, she began to think, whether Tao Tao has been clamoring for Zhuo Yuan to hug him when she fell asleep, whether Xiao Wu was playing crazy and refused to go to bed early, whether there was a cold war between Ah Si and Xiao Qi today, and whether Suisui would still Sitting on a rock alone thinking of his parents, will Cong Qing take care of these children alone? It should be fine with Zhuo Xin's help, and...

She had no idea when someone was sick.

She didn't seem to be making a lot of noise, so she asked her to tell him a story, and after listening to the story, she fell asleep "obediently", not like the child next to the mansion...

It is true that she didn't know why she put him and the children next to the mansion together, but she remembered the sentence inexplicably, "I am also the eldest child, I am the baby of Qing..."

Shen Yue smiled unconsciously.

He is a child, the eldest child in the house.

and kissed her...

Thinking about this, Shen Yue's eyes narrowed again, and she lost sleepiness, so she took the book and went to sit in the warm pavilion in the garden.

The garden is quiet, and the warm pavilion is not cold.

Shen Yue made a cup of hot tea and read quietly in the warm pavilion.

The whole day seemed to pass by for some unknown reason, but when I couldn't calm down, it seemed that it was only now, before going to bed, that I could concentrate on reading a few books in the warm pavilion.

"Ayue?"

Suddenly I saw my uncle come home.

"Uncle!" Just as Shen Yue was about to get up, Liang Youwei waved her hand to signal her to sit down, and he also entered the curtain.

Just in time to make weak tea, Shen Yue poured tea for Liang Youwei.

Liang Youwei took it, took a sip, and then asked ~www.wuxiahere.com~ um. "Shen Yue closed the book, revealing the title on the title page.

Liang Youwei smiled, "This is what you read when you were in a private school."

He remembers it all.

Shen Yue also smiled, "Review the old and learn the new."

Liang Youwei also smiled and nodded.

It seemed that she was talking about being in a private school earlier, but Shen Yue suddenly remembered Xu Lilai, her uncle was a master under Jing Zhaoyin, and he knew everything about the court at the foot of the emperor. Shen Yue hesitated for a moment, but asked, "Right , Uncle, do you know about Mrs. Xu Li Xu?"

Liang Youwei paused for a moment, and then said, "Why did you suddenly ask about the Grand Master?"

Shen Yue said softly, "I heard about it by chance when the palace was on fire earlier, but I don't know why Mrs. Xu resigned?"

Liang Youwei sighed and seemed to weigh a little before talking to Shen Yue, "It's all a few years ago. At that time, Taifu Xu was the teacher of the previous prince, and was highly regarded by His Majesty. , but many things in the court were reviewed by the Grand Fu. In other words, Xu Taifu was the assistant minister appointed by His Majesty to the prince in the future. Therefore, although Xu Li was the Taifu, he acted as a deputy minister. Moreover, he is the youngest Xiangye in the court..."

"What about later?" Shen Yue was curious, "Why did Xu Li resign later?"

Liang Youwei sighed, "Prince died prematurely."

Shen Yue really remembered that the prince died earlier. At that time, she was still in Jinzhou. Because of the funeral, she wore plain clothes for a month...

As if speaking of the sigh, Liang Youwei got up to continue, "At that time, the prince was young, and he was taught by the Taifu. The Taifu had a deep relationship with the prince. After the prince died early, His Majesty left the Taifu to serve as the right minister in the court. Taifu refused, not politely, but because of a dispute with the Tian family in the DPRK!"

"Dispute?" Shen Yue was surprised.

In my impression, Xu Li was mostly peaceful. Although she had teased her earlier in the private school, she was generally as gentle as jade. Even if there was a fire in the palace that day, Xu Li took her to the front of the palace in the crowd. Just to protect her, when the forbidden army blocked, there was only one sentence "Get out of the way", it is hard to imagine that Xu Li would have a dispute with Tianjia in the court...

Liang Youwei continued, "These things were later tacitly understood by the capital, and they were deliberately avoided."

"Because Xu Li collided with Tianyan, but Tianjia didn't blame it, and Tianjia still protected Xu Li?" Shen Yue guessed, otherwise, how could Xu Li stay in a private school in Beijing and open a bookstore far away? ?

Liang Youwei nodded, "That's right, at that time, Taifu asked the Tianjia to thoroughly investigate the death of the prince, which caused an uproar in the court. , and then decreed that Taifu should be appointed as the left minister and also be the teacher of the third prince, which can be regarded as a step for both parties."

"The third prince?" Shen Yue was surprised, isn't it the third prince who has been calmly and domineering in Beijing, disturbing the purity of the people?

Liang Youwei nodded again, "Yes, that's the third prince, but Taifu went down the steps, took off his official hat, and resigned in the hall."

Shen Yue's eyes narrowed slightly.

Liang Youwei sighed, "That's what happened in the court, but we don't know what the inside story is, but Mrs. Xu is a good person and has integrity. Later, the Tian family searched for him several times, but he didn't enter the court. , but will give advice to the censor station, so Taifu still has prestige in the court, but it doesn't involve political affairs, it was all a few years ago..."

Therefore, Xu Li resigned, not only because there was no way to trace the death of the prince, but also because of the fact that the heavenly family made him the teacher of the third prince. At that time, Xu Li should be young, so he also had a temper, and even the heavenly family contradicted him. But he was still able to teach for the Master in a private school in Beijing, and he was able to open a bookstore. The Heavenly Family was afraid that he was protecting him, so the earlier imperial guards were also respectful...

It turned out that what he said, resigning from the office and taking classes for the master in a private school is true...

"Now the court is full of smog, and the Taifu is a clear stream, but now the Taifu is not there, and because of the Taifu's resignation, many people with lofty ideals are reluctant to join the office. The chaos in the Western Qin Dynasty does not know when. The end?" Liang Youwei sighed in a deep voice.

Shen Yue was slightly startled.

"Go to bed earlier, it's late at night." Liang Youwei said with a smile.

"Okay." Shen Yue also responded.

...

Back in the room, Shen Yue was still thinking about what her uncle just mentioned.

My uncle is just a master, but he seems to be too familiar with the affairs of the court and is too concerned about it...

But she didn't say what was wrong.

Just thinking of her uncle's last sentence "I don't know when the chaos in the Western Qin Dynasty will end", she inexplicably thinks of the Pingyuan Palace...

On that day, there was a fire in the government's mansion. Listening to the meaning of Tao Bo, Zhuo Yuan would go back to Beijing overnight after receiving the news. A loyal family in the palace of Pingyuan, all died in battle, leaving only the children of Zhuo Yuan and He's mansion. With such a big thing, it's impossible to make people suspect that there are other plans. Zhuo Yuan is doing what he can to keep the children in the house safe.

Shen Yue picked up the pen, but remembered in her mind when Zhuo Yuan was sick, the whole person was confused, she just asked her to tell him a story, when she talked about one of the booklets, the content of the booklet was a bit unpredictable, similar to death. Resurrection, etc., he suddenly asked, can the dead really come back to life?

She knew he was burned out.

He also knew that he missed his father and brother who passed away.

...

Shen Yue came back to her senses, only to realize that she had written the word "Qingzhi" on the paper unknowingly, and she didn't know when she wrote it.

Shen Yue froze.

The charcoal heater was burning in the house, and in her own home again, Shen Yue did not close the door, but closed the door slightly.

It happened that Shen Hansheng entered.

Shen Yue's expression tightened, and before she could put away the page, she saw Shen Hansheng come forward.

She glanced at the pages on the table, and at this time she wanted to cover it up again, and it was not easy to put it on the table so openly, so she took the booklet on the side and pressed it down, and she was relieved.

Shen Hansheng had a soup bowl in his hand, so he didn't knock on the door.

Right now, as he stepped forward, he said, "Sister, seeing that you are still reading so late, my aunt boiled sweet soup for you, and let me bring it to you. Drink it while it's hot."

Shen Yue smiled and reached out to take the soup bowl from Shen Hansheng's hand.

My aunt is careful, but it's actually not hot anymore.

Shen Yue has slender fingertips, holding the spoon in her hand, her ring finger and little finger are slightly raised, and the spoon is brought to her lips and she sips lightly, "Lotus seed soup?"

Shen Hansheng nodded quickly, "It's lotus seed soup."

"Did you drink?" Shen Yue asked.

Shen Hansheng nodded, "I drank it, I drank it with my aunt, and sent it to you after drinking it. Didn't you tell me to spend more time with my aunt? When I saw my aunt was still in the kitchen, I went to talk to my aunt. , I happened to see my aunt cooking lotus seed soup for you."

Shen Yue smiled again, reached out and touched his head, "How good!"

Shen Hansheng also laughed.

Shen Yue continued to drink lotus seed soup, and when Shen Hansheng saw a book on the table, he picked it up, "I only read this book a few days ago."

Shen Yue was stunned.

Not because of what Shen Hansheng said, but because he took away the book she had pressed on the paper...

Right now, there is no obstruction, it is just bare there, and Shen Hansheng can see it at any time.

Shen Yue swallowed softly in her throat and said nervously, "I still want to drink a bowl, is there any more in the kitchen?"

Shen Hansheng smiled and said, "Yes, when you finish drinking, I will serve it for you."

Shen Yue looked at the bowl of lotus seed soup in her hand, her heart swayed, she started drinking it, and she was about to finish it, but Shen Hansheng asked curiously, "What is Qingzhi?"

puff……

Shen Yue almost choked.

"Sister!" Shen Hansheng stepped forward.

Shen Yue was about to choke her tears, and she quickly waved her hand to signal that she was fine.

After finally recovering, Shen Hansheng's interest is still on the word "Qingzhi", "Qingzhi is the name of a child, right?"

Shen Yue was stunned for a while, undecided.

However, Shen Hansheng was wrong, thinking that she would acquiesce, "I see, it's a child in the palace, right?"

Well, this understanding is not wrong...

Shen Hansheng looked at these two words and continued to daydream, "He is very young and needs someone to take care of him?"

Shen Yue slowly and half-hesitantly, half-decapitated - he is very naive, and he needs someone to take care of him, and he also needs to listen to bedtime stories.

Shen Yue thought...

Shen Hansheng suddenly realized, "Among the children of the palace, my sister must like him the most, so she wrote his name!"

"How can there be..." Shen Yue was stunned by him.

Shen Hansheng asked back, "Then why don't you write about Hansheng?"

"..." Shen Yue said slowly, "He... is actually a corn, a corn craft made by the babies, called Qingzhi..."

Shen Yue was determined, "Yes, it's a corn."

Shen Hansheng blinked.

***

"Ah!" Zhuo Yuan sneezed again and again, and had to turn his face to one place and cover it with his sleeves.

Tao Tao hasn't slept yet, and when he finishes sneezing, he continues to look at him.

"Why don't you sleep yet? Didn't you promise your uncle that he would go to sleep after telling the story?" Zhuo Yuan said warmly.

Taotao smiled and said, "But I miss Ayue, does my uncle also think so?"

Zhuo Yuan paused slightly and said in a low voice, "Yes, uncle also misses A Yue."

Tao Tao smiled again, "Then I like Ayue, does my uncle like Ayue too?"

Zhuo Yuan smiled, "I like it, my uncle likes it very much."
