Xiao Yanning stood in the air for a while, then suddenly said, "Hengxiu, don't hide, come out."

Heng Xiu was startled with a sigh, turned around and ran away, the green bamboo leaves quickly receded in front of her eyes and ears, she ran out of a bamboo forest, and then stopped to gasp for breath.

"Hengxiu? Is that you?" A boy's voice came from not far away.

Heng Xiu looked up with a big smile on her face, "Brother May? Why are you here."

It was the boy in May who came over, "I heard that my aunt is back. I came to see Mr. Shen just now. The husband said that my aunt went to the Plum Blossom Pier to get some things, so I thought of waiting by the lake."

Heng Xiu nodded and said, "Mother went to Plum Blossom Pier, don't let me follow, I'll go to the shore with you and wait."

Wuyue reached out and stroked Heng Xiu's messy hair, and asked curiously, "What did you just run for? Who is chasing you?"

Heng Xiu rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Brother May, what is in the box in your hand?"

May brought the box in his hand to her. Heng Xiu saw that the box was very delicately made of agarwood, and when he opened the lid of the box, he couldn't help but be startled, but saw a delicate fluffy flower inside. The tender yellow, the velvet moves with the wind when the wind blows, Heng Xiu couldn't help but gently touched it with his hand, and said with a smile, "It's so beautiful!"

May's eyes were full of smiles, "Do you like it?"

"I like it, my mother must like it too! Did you come here on purpose for your mother?" Heng Xiu raised her head and asked.

Looking at the pair of clear eyes in May, as clean as the autumn water in the deep valley, he paused and said hesitantly: "Yes... ah."

Heng Xiu closed the box and said with a smile, "Let's go to the ferry and wait for my mother."

She stretched out her little hand and took May's big hand, and led him forward, like a little master, "This garden is not as good as Hot Spring Valley, it's easy to get lost when you go around, you won't get lost if you follow me. "

May nodded and said, "Okay, I'll follow you... so I won't get lost."

...

"Hengxiu..."

"what?"

"Do you like velvet flowers? If you like it, I'll give you another one tomorrow."

Heng Xiu turned his head and asked, "Where did you buy it?"

"I... I'm in Gangneung..."

"Jiangling is so far from here."

"It's alright! I'm going on a fast horse, and it won't take ten days for a round trip."

Heng Xiu stuck out his tongue and smiled: "If daddy knew that you went to Jiangling to buy velvet flowers for me, I would definitely be scolded. Besides, daddy said that brother May is fortunate enough to go back to Jinling with great difficulty and have a good rest. ."

May smiled, "If you like it, I will bring it to you next time I come back from Jiangling."

Heng Xiu smiled and said, "Okay, I like red."

"Ah... oh, didn't you like light yellow before?"

Heng Xiu tilted his head and thought for a while, "But I like red now. Brother May, please go to Jiangling next time to see if there is any red."

She remembered that Xiao Yanning liked to wear red clothes in the past. People like him, with red clothes, are not like ordinary people.

She felt that she should like red too.

But she forgot that now Xiao Yanning is blind, and what he always wears is a blue-grey linen robe. He is a proud man, and he is unwilling to serve as servants, so he does not even know what kind of clothes he wears.

Heng Xiu pulled May to the shore of the water, and saw Rao Tu swaying ashore. May hurriedly stepped forward to help her moor the boat, "Auntie, why are you punting the boat alone without a servant to follow?"

Rao Tu looked at the young man in front of him, her eyes full of joyful smiles: "May, you are so old." He grew taller, a head taller than her.

May said: "I heard that my aunt came back and came to see you quickly. After so many years, my aunt has not changed at all. She is still so gentle and beautiful."

Rao Tu said with a smile: "You are slick! You just have to say something nice to coax me."

Heng Xiu stepped forward and said, "Mother, Brother May has prepared a gift for you." He picked up the agarwood box in his hand, opened it, and showed the goose yellow velvet flower to Rao Tu.

Rao Tu glanced at it and saw Wuyue's shy expression, she knew what was going on, because she picked up the ball of velvet flower and said with a smile, "I don't look as good as Axiu with such a bright color. May, I put you Are you annoyed that the gift is given to Axiu?"

May blushed, and said indifferently, "Axiu likes red."

Rao Tu smiled and pinned the velvet flower on Axiu's temples, and smiled at May: "Look, isn't it pretty?"

May nodded blankly, "That's good."

Seeing that her mother and brother May were a little weird, Heng Xiu couldn't help but wonder. She raised her head to look at May and then at Rao Tu, wondering if she didn't understand.

On the second day, Shen Zhuling prepared a family dinner, four children, Heng Wen, Heng Xiu, May, Xiao Yan, and two adults, Shen Zhu and Rao Tu. When the family sits and eats together, life is beautiful.

Heng Wen, Hengxiu and May had already met Rao Tu, crying, laughing and laughing, but this was the first time Xiao Yan saw Rao Tu.

Xiao Yantai stared at Rao Tu with a pair of bright eyes, wondering how there is such a beautiful aunt in the world? Rao Tu saw Xiao Yantai's brows like Xiao Yanning, and even the graceful, lazy and captivating charm, but the little girl's mouth was like Lu Zhouyue.

Rao Tu had no ill will towards Lu Zhouyue, she knew that she gave birth to Xiaoyantai and died in childbirth. Thinking of the words that Lu Zhouyue said to her when she was in Tongchuan, it was clearly to make her feel at ease. Although that woman was born from a wealthy family, but since she met Xiao Yanning, she was no longer arrogant and arrogant.

Lu Zhouyue is a poor woman. Since she met him, she has only lived and died for him in her life, although when she died later, she didn't even earn a single tear from him. The only one who responded to the news of her death was Xiao Yanning's light "um". But Rao Tu understood that Lu Zhouyue had already gotten what she wanted.

Xiao Yantai has been raised by Shen Zhu's side all the time, and she has never seen her father. This makes Rao Tu feel more distressed about this girl. She hugs Xiao Yantai by her side during meals and keeps serving her dishes.

After eating, I returned to the military administration in May. Rao Tu and Shen Zhu were in the study, and the official documents on Shen Zhu's case were already piled up. Rao Tu couldn't understand those documents, so she could only help him grind them, while muttering: "So many documents for you to deal with, when will this be a problem."

Shen Zhu said while criticizing Zhu: "Tongchuan is peaceful, the world is peaceful."

Rao Tu's heart moved, "Jinlong also said this."

Shen Zhu nodded: "She and Lu Zhiming are in Jiangling now."

"Why do you have to flatten Chuanshu? I was in Chuanshu a few years ago, and I saw that Xie Tangyan managed Shuzhong very well. He has served as a military advisor in Xishu for so many years. Occupy every inch of Li Xian Jiangshan."

Shen Zhu's hand paused slightly, "Have you been to Xishu?"

"Yeah, I've seen Xie Tangyan before."

"Xie Tangyan is the heart of Sima Zhao, and will not live in a corner of Shu in peace." Shen Zhu's tone was light, and he did not intend to explain more to Rao.

Rao Tu smiled helplessly, "Then if Xishu is not at peace for one day, you will be in Jinling to supervise the country one day?"

"May will recover Xishu, and then the world will be his."

Rao Tu lowered her head and thought, and suddenly asked, "Could it be that you insist on pacifying Xishu for the sake of May?"

Shen Zhu put down his pen, looked at her with a smile, and did not answer.

Rao Tu nodded and said suddenly: "No wonder you keep letting May to attack Chuanshu, that's what you meant, to give May a confidence."

Shen Zhu said slowly: "May is actually very good. Mr. Ming Qi is not optimistic about May. I can't convince Ming Qi, but I can always give May an opportunity."

Rao Tu smiled and said in a low voice: "Of course you are thoughtful, but... it's just that in my private opinion, May seems to be interested in us Heng Xiu..."

Shen Zhu raised his eyebrows, "Yeah, but Heng Xiu only regards May as a big brother." When he said this, his tone was a little smug.

Rao Tu pushed him and said, "What are you proud of?"

Shen Zhu pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Heng Xiu is still young, so he has to stay with us for a few more years."

Rao Tu snorted, "I've never seen such a black-hearted father, who doesn't think about his daughter's life. Heng Xiu is very spoiled, and I don't know who can afford it in the future. If May is not the emperor, he and Heng Xiu are childhood sweethearts. It's just that Hengxiu is too big, and his thoughts are unpredictable, so he may not have intentions..."

"What's the hurry? You only married me at fifteen, and it's a few years before Hengxiu leaves the cabinet."

Rao Tu saw him looking down at the front of her clothes, her heart felt empty, she couldn't help rubbing her neck, "What are you looking at?

Shen Zhu was a little speechless. He asked himself that he had never been described by the words "thief eyebrows and rat eyes", and smiled deliberately: "I'm seeing a red spot on your neck, if you ask Heng Wenhengxiu to see it, ask What do you say when you get up?"

Rao Tu Jiao gave him a glance, "It's not all your good deeds! The big deal is that it was bitten by mosquitoes."

Shen Zhu smiled, let go of her, and straightened his robes, "I need to read the official document, please don't speak."

Rao Tu saw that he was sitting upright and sternly reading the official document, and his heart was soft, knowing that he did not dare to slack off after working hard all day long, and he did not speak at the moment, just stood aside to grind for him. It was winter, and the ink could quickly freeze on the inkstone. Rao Tu looked at the inkstone and thought of the girl in the small inkstone. She wanted to ask Shen Zhu, and she swallowed the words when he saw him frowning and thinking.

It was not until twilight, when the north wind whistled outside the window, that the lamp oil was exhausted, and the documents full of the case were processed. The rest have been read by the minister of Zhongshu and sent back to the various ministries for agreement.

After Shen Zhu made this, Rao Tu sent hot porridge and a few light dishes, and the two ate them directly in the study. Shen Zhudao: "Just now, the steward said that Heng Wen was called by May to go to the military and political affairs, and Heng Xiu went to the old mansion of the five kings."

Rao Tu saw what he said casually, but she knew what he wanted to say, so she said: "I believe in May, and I also believe in Heng Wen. Heng Wen has his own ideas, but his father is not an ambitious person. As for Hengxiu, she has been close to Xiao Yanning since she was a child, she likes to play with Xiao Yanning, and Xiao Yanning is also happy to play with her, but it doesn't need to be too restrictive."

Shen Zhu didn't speak, but he knew that her heart was soft. When Xiao Yanning was in that place, it would be better for Heng Xiu to accompany him to talk, otherwise he would be too lonely alone.

Rao Tu saw that he stopped talking, "What are you thinking?"

"Aheng, I think you understand that this is actually his choice."

Rao Tu's heart trembled slightly, as if the child who had done something wrong was discovered, she whispered: "Yes, it was originally his choice, he has already avenged his revenge, he was lucky not to die, and he got a peace... But, but I I always feel... as if I owe him something... Yan Bing, I..."

Shen Zhu said softly, "Aheng, you owe him your life, and I have already paid it back."

Rao Tu leaned in his arms and murmured: "Yes, it has been paid back. The hundreds of injuries you suffered in the floating dungeon have already been paid back. Yan Bing, I am only yours in this life."

Shen Zhu raised her face and said softly, "You don't owe him or me."

Rao Tu shook his head: "Who said I don't owe it? It's just that I owe you, but you also owe me. The debt between the two of us is unclear in this lifetime and can only be entangled."

Shen Zhu smiled slightly and hugged her tightly, "I'm afraid it's not enough for a lifetime."

"Then next life, next life. Yan Bing, maybe Xiao Yanning is right, I used to be really stupid. The first time I saw you, I should have known that I would never run away in this life."

The wind is whistling outside, winter is coming, the north wind is whistling, but the east wind is not far.

The two people in the house, two hot hearts, experienced love and hate parting, and finally ironed each other.

The real warm affection in the world is his tenderness in this situation.

Rao Tu has seen many people in her life, and she may have been moved by another person's affection at a certain moment. But she asked herself that only Shen Zhu, only the silent power of his gentle smile, could make her fall into the abyss and willingly.

...Xiao Yanning was lying on the rattan chair, with the little girl sitting aside, humming an out-of-tune ditty. Next to it was a stove, and the teapot was hanging on the stove, gurgling and steaming.

Xiao Yanning smelled the fragrance of the tea, he said slowly: "It is better to smell the tea than to drink the tea."

Heng Xiu seemed to understand, but while shaking the rattan chair for him, he asked, "Mother said that you are Xiao Yantai's father, right?"

Xiao Yanning shook his head and said, "No."

"Ah? But my mother never lied to me."

"Since you believe in your mother so much, why do you still ask me?" Xiao Yanning was indifferent, his breathing was almost non-existent.

Heng Xiu murmured, "I remember there was Aunt Lu when I was a child. She seemed to like you very much."

Xiao Yanning smiled lightly: "I like it? Can you eat it as a meal?"

Heng Xiu was accustomed to his coolness, and she even discovered at some point in the future that she actually liked his coolness very much.

Xiao Yanning sighed, "Is your mother always smiling when you come back this time?"

Heng Xiu tilted her head and said, "Mother looks good when she smiles."

Xiao Yanning nodded and said, "Yes, I remember when she smiled, she didn't look bad."

"It's beautiful, not bad." Heng Xiu corrected.

"That's it, but when she's angry, it's not bad." Xiao Yanning's godless eyes suddenly brought some reminiscence.

Heng Xiu looked at him dumbfounded and suddenly asked, "What about me?"

"What are you?"

"Does it look good when I'm angry?"

Xiao Yanning shook his head: "I don't remember."

Heng Xiu drooped her head and was a little disappointed, she murmured, "Actually, I'm also very good-looking, but unfortunately you can't see it."

Xiao Yanning said, "If you look like your father, you won't look good."

Heng Xiu said quickly: "I'm like my mother's, they all say that."

"who are they?"

"My dad said it, and so did my brother May."

"May said it was probably true."

"Brother May also said that he wanted to give me a velvet flower. I want red, do you want it?"

Xiao Yanning rolled his eyes, "What do I want that?"

"Oh……"

Xiao Yanning hesitated for a while, then asked casually, "...that one called Xiao Yantai... is she good? Cry or not?"

"Don't cry, be nice. She likes me, not my brother. My brother always annoys her."

"Is that so..." Xiao Yanning smiled, closed his eyes and smelled the fragrance of the tea, and stopped talking.

In the Yue Mansion, Master Su, who was in charge of Qingle, Yale, and Yunshao, was sitting under the porch with a Jiaowei qin in front of his knees. Everyone in the world knows that Su Zhen will play "Guangling San", but he only played it once in Tingxue Pavilion in Tongchuan.

He took a piece of silk cloth and wiped the body of the violin carefully, without touching the strings for half a minute.

The snow had already fallen, spreading a thin layer on the ground. Jinling City has snow years every year, and this year is no different from previous years. A carriage slowly drove towards the Yuefu Palace. A woman wearing a warm yellow crane cloak stepped off the carriage. She looked up at the four-character plaque of the Yuefu Palace.

Su Zhentong hurriedly walked to the door, and said politely, "I'm here to greet Madam." Not only his voice, but his whole body trembled slightly. He lowered his head and didn't see Rao Tu's face, just looked at the pair of embroidered shoes that were half exposed under her skirt.

These embroidered shoes shouldn't be in slush, he thought.

"You don't need to be too polite, Young Master Su, what's the matter if you come to me?" Rao Tu's tone was indifferent. She received a note from Su Zhentong this morning, inviting her to come to cover the moon and talk about something important to discuss. Come for an appointment.

Su Zhentong invited her to the mansion and sat down to watch tea, but Rao Tu was a little confused and said with a smile, "Young Master Su, you can just say what you want, you really don't have to be so polite."

Only then did Su Zhen take a seat, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that she was as elegant as seven years ago. She shook her head slightly, and then said solemnly, "I'm making a wish to go to Jiangling and help Mr. Shen break the game."

Rao Tu frowned, "What's your plan?"

"My brother under Xie Tangyan took care of a prisoner named Jiang under Xie Tangyan's command for seven years."

"The last name is Jiang?" Rao Tu said in shock, "Is it Jiang Ying?"

"I don't know if it's Jiang Ying, but the prisoner surnamed Jiang scolded Xie Tangyan for seven years, and Xie Tangyan didn't say a word. I heard a secret story below. Fortunately, Xie Tangyan treats him differently from others, and may be able to break the game."

Rao Tu stared at him, and seeing his sincere expression, she couldn't help but wonder: "Why didn't you talk to Shen Zhu directly, but come to me."

"Sir wants to pave the way for the prince, and the prince should be walking on Yangguan Avenue. Why should you say that you know about this kind of conspiracy?"

Rao Tu knew that the prince in his mouth was referring to May, so he pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Please madam send me to Shu."

Rao Tu thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Why do you need to risk yourself?"

"Su Zhen and the filth I, if it wasn't for the madam, he wouldn't even be able to die cleanly. If you say it's just to repay your kindness, do you believe it, madam?"

Rao Tu looked at Su Zhen with the same look, her expression suddenly became very cold, and she said lightly, "I have no favors for you."

"Even if Madam doesn't want to send me to Tongchuan, I will try my best to enter Shu." Su Zhen's eyes were firm.

Rao Tu waved her hand, "What are you going to do in Tongchuan, I don't care, and I won't miss your love." She got up and walked outside the mansion, "Su Zhentong, you should stay here to study piano scores, and It's not to go to the right and wrong place to do stupid things. What do you think you can do? Work with your brother to kidnap Jiang Ying, and then threaten Xie Tangyan to give up Tongchuan? You think too simply."

Su Zhen took a step forward, "Madam..."

Rao Tu turned around and smiled at him: "No need to say any more. Su Gongzi, thank you for giving me this news, at least let me know that Jiang Ying is not dead and Xie Tangyan is not crazy. I will discuss with Shen Zhu, You still stay here in the Covering Moon Yuefu, waiting to compose music for the future Li Xian prosperous world."

She stepped into the snow and left without looking back. Su Zhen looked at her figure in the snow in a daze. For a moment, he felt that this woman was actually very cool. The only person who can warm her eyes is Mr. Shen, right?

Rao Tu walked to the dumplings and suddenly raised her eyes to look at the house next to her. She smiled slightly, "Nangong Yiwu, since you're here, why are you hiding?"

Nangong Yiwu let out a laugh, and a figure came out of the courtyard wall and landed in front of Rao Tu, "How do you know it's me?"

"Although the steps are light, it seems to be vain. Have you been to many brothels recently?" Rao Tu squinted at him.

Nangong Yiwu said with a smile: "Eldest sister, can you give me some face without this look of seeing through everything?"

"Bah!" Rao Tu said, "You are the only grandson of the Nangong family, be careful, and be careful that you will suffer from inability to move in the future, which will cut off the lifeline of the Nangong family."

Nangong Yiwu was stunned, "...You should accumulate some virtue in your mouth."

Rao Tu said: "Follow me to the Shen residence."

"what?"

"Let you clean for a few days and cultivate your body and mind. By the way, I have something for you to do."

"what's up?"

"The beauty of stealing incense and jade."

"Okay, okay, then I'm good at it. But sister, let's say it, I can't be distracted."

"What? Heart is dead? Have you seen the red dust?"

"No! I fell in love with a girl."

"Fancy another girl?"

"I'm serious this time, sister, sister... Listen to me! I'm not kidding... Hey, wait for me, Qinggong is amazing, I didn't teach it!"

Rao Tu took Nangong Yiwu back to the Shen residence, and was seeing Shen Zhu walking out of the courtyard. Nangong Yiwu smiled and said, "Lord Shen, long time no see."

Shen Zhu made a "hmm" and nodded to Nangong Yiwu, which made Nangong Yiwu very frustrated and too... not taken seriously, right? "Sir Shen, we haven't seen you for a long time, why aren't you excited at all?"

Seeing that Shen Zhu's expression was different, Rao Tu asked, "What's the matter?"

Shen Zhu said: "Jinlong came to report, Lu Zhiming and the monk Li Xuanzong met, and the two fought in Jiangling for a day and a night, but they still haven't stopped. There is a big change, I have to leave for Jiangling immediately."
