Shen Langgui

Seeing that the handful of earth he picked up was completely crushed, the first emperor felt relieved, wiped his sweat with his sleeves, tilted his head, and suddenly found two stalwart men at the gate of the moon cave.

Shen Yue and Shen Chao thought about it for a thousand times, but he couldn't say the word "Tai Shang Huang" in the end, for fear that the embarrassment would be witnessed by others, which would arouse the anger of the former emperor.Unexpectedly, the other party was calm, and asked straightforwardly:

"Who are you two?"

The two brothers looked at each other, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly

"Commander Shen Yue"

"Minister of Rites Shen Chao"

——"See the Supreme Emperor!"

"My lord, hurry up, I'm just a commoner now, and I don't have to pay any courtesy. The two of you are coming to the humble house..."

Shen Chao took a step forward and held up the white jade plate: "The emperor is thinking about the weather of early spring, so I specially sent my ministers to send spring clothes for the emperor to change clothes for the season."

The late emperor suddenly looked solemn, stepped out of the mud, kowtowed his head and thanked him, and said: "I am disheveled at the moment, for fear of insulting the holy will, Shang Shan, accept it for me..." The late emperor suddenly remembered something, turned around suddenly, and as expected Seeing that the eunuch in blue was still crooked at the bottom of the pillar dreaming, but the late emperor was not surprised, he just randomly picked a piece of broken stone that he picked out just now, and threw it at the eunuch.

The eunuch was so frightened that he immediately sat up and shouted, "Is the emperor ready for dinner?"

Shen Yue: "..."

Shen Chao: "..."

"The house slave is out of discipline, which made you laugh." Although it was an explanation, the Taishang Emperor's tone had the meaning of "Seeing you are surprised, I will reluctantly explain it."Before Er Shen could reply, the first emperor told him again: "Hurry up and accept it for me!"

"Ah? Yes... yes!"

The blue-clothed eunuch was quick to wake up, and hurried forward and knelt down to catch it.After Shen Yue and Shen Chao delivered the things, they wanted to say goodbye, not wanting a female voice behind him to say in doubt:

"Huh? Are there any guests?"

The two brothers looked back, and saw a young man with a basket at the door, with a jade crown in his hair, and wearing a crimson green narrow-sleeved short jacket. The egret on it was lifelike, and the belt around his waist was just right, tightening the robe tightly. Heroic posture - the attire of people in the Hanlin Academy.Although he was dressed in men's clothing, Shen Yue's ability to never forget, still recognized that the young man in front of him was the maid who wrote at the desk the day he first met the late emperor.

Probably only this "doll number one scholar" in the world can dress a solemn official robe so...cutely.

The first emperor walked to his side at some point, and said kindly, "The humble house is rarely popular, if you two have nothing important to do, why don't you sit down and have a chat over tea?"

Having said all this, and there is no reason to refuse, Shen Chao said politely: "The Supreme Emperor has a heart..."

It was rare for the first emperor to interject: "The left line is 'Tai Shang Huang' and another sentence is 'Tai Shang Huang', you don't think it's awkward, I'm tired of hearing it."

"He never likes etiquette, it's good for you two to call him 'Emperor'." The 'Little Prince' spoke with a smile and stepped forward to explain.

Shen Yue's gaze fell into the bamboo basket in her hand, and he saw that it was full of... sour amaranth. Although there was a little sand at the bottom of the root, the branches were neatly arranged one by one, which showed the delicate and gentle picking.

The girl noticed Shen Yue's gaze, and explained heartily: "Master Shen is laughing, this is sour amaranth, which has the effect of reducing fire and removing heat. There is a piece of it growing under the west side wall of the Imperial Academy, but the palace people don't recognize it, they just treat it as a weed I shoveled it, I picked some today and came back to make soup."

In the words of the 'little son', there was no sign of the woman's coquettishness, which aroused Shen Yue's curiosity, and he rarely took the initiative to ask:

"Shen is educated, but I don't know the son...how do you call the girl?"

"Are you a girl?" Shen Chao was startled.

Puchi.

This time Shen Chao was even more frightened.Because Shen Yue actually laughed.

'Little Son' answered: "My surname is Yin, and my double name is 'Pan Xiao'."

"Okay, Miss Panxiao."

"Master Shen."

There were a few laughs back and forth, Shen Yue and Shen Chao no longer tensed up just now, and their suspicious vigilance also dissipated. The two followed the emperor Panxiao into the inner courtyard. Put it under the tree.

In the February day of the world, Shuqi urges the flowers to bloom.The spring is bright and beautiful, with clusters of begonias and colorful branches.

"Just now we only turned the soil, now we are going to sow the rapeseed, the two adults should sit down first."

Shen Chao immediately stepped forward and grabbed the emperor, not feeling any dirt on it, and said: "Your emperor, sit down quickly, I will do the rough work."

"Hey!" The emperor pushed Shen Chao down, and said helplessly, "Everyone in the world only thinks that farming is hard work, but if it's not for a living, it's a lot of fun, and it's hard to argue."

Seeing that Shen Chao was still hesitant, the emperor replied: "If you two are really sorry, why don't you sit under the tree and help Pan Xiao choose vegetables together."

"Okay." Shen Chao agreed without hesitation.

Immediately, the three of them sat down under the flower tree, the eunuch in blue served tea, ran to the garden, and collected all the broken stones dug out by the emperor.While choosing dishes, Shen Yue looked around, only to find a scaffolding at the corner of the house, the wood was new, so he asked: "Your Majesty, the scaffolding was built recently?"

"Master Shen has good eyesight, and it was only built yesterday. If you plant melon seedlings before the rainy day, you will be able to harvest them in late autumn...Master Shen, what are you laughing at?" Just now, with his back to Shen Yue and his party, he bowed his head The former emperor, who was so focused on planting the seeds, inadvertently turned around, just in time to see Shen Yue's unprecedentedly happy state.

The first emperor intuited that the pleasing look to Mr. Shen was not a simple expression of raising his lips, but a long-lost expression of relief.

Rao is the emperor's temperament that has always been careless, so he still asked.

Shen Chao hurriedly tilted his head, and sure enough, he saw his elder brother's lips curled up again. Even though he lowered his eyes, he could still feel it and said: "Everyone in the world is chasing after wealth, but the emperor is doing the opposite, which opened my eyes." , also asked me to...remember the two ancestors in the family."

There are sparrows on the branches, chirping loudly, jumping on the flower branches, driving clusters of flowers to tremble and curl in the air.Shen Yue only felt as if he was in a peach garden at this moment, dazzled and fascinated, he inadvertently raised his sleeve and picked up a corolla, and put it on the selected vegetables.

"Tao Gong said that he had fallen into the dust net by mistake for 30 years before he realized his true nature|Love Qiushan. I am a mediocre person. Fortunately, I learned from Tao Gong's mistakes and was able to get out of the cage in time. If everyone can understand their own nature and live according to their nature, they will not Blindly chasing after others’ applause, each doing his own business, each getting his own place, the ‘great harmony’ of sages is not far away.”

After a moment of silence, the late emperor asked: "Master Shen just mentioned the ancestors of the clan, why?"

Shen Yue's smile deepened, and he said: "Excuse me, I dare to say that there are a few seniors in the lower clan, and it can be said that they have reached the same goal as the emperor by different routes."

"Oh? It's very interesting, let's talk about it."

"My ancestral home is the Shen family of Gusu..."

The late emperor stopped covering the soil, turned around and said in surprise: "Are you a descendant of Shen Rugui?!"

"The emperor laughed."

"How could it be! Shen Rugui is 'the recommendation of Da Qi Jie' and has a good reputation throughout the world. When he was studying books when he was young, the master often mentioned Mr. Shen, the founding hero of our dynasty after he finished talking about the ancient sages." A person who understands. Strangely, when I met Mr. Shen, my intuition was very kind."

Pan Xiao, who had always listened quietly, smiled like a silver bell for a while, and said: "No wonder, I said that the emperor always likes to be quiet, and today he invited someone to be a guest for an unprecedented time? It turned out to be love at first sight."

Shen Chao couldn't help being happy: "Hahahaha..."

The late emperor continued to sow seeds on his knees, but this time he turned to everyone: "Lord Shen, you just said 'several seniors' in the clan, but who else?"

"Weichen's parents are very affectionate. After his mother passed away, his father abandoned his official position and became a Taoist. He no longer cares about world affairs. He only returns home during New Year's Day and grandma's birthday."

Pan Xiao's round eyes, which were originally watery, opened wide at this moment, and she suddenly looked naive: "It's also a couple made in heaven. I yearn for it, and I will be lucky in the future. I will definitely visit."

However, Shen Yue's eyes darkened suddenly, and Shen Chao found it quick, and apologized: "I disappointed Miss Pan Xiao, my father has gone west a few years ago."

"Ah? It's a pity, the two adults are mourning..." Pan Xiao knew that she had asked the wrong question, and her eyes were full of shame.

Shen Yue only felt that although this girl was a member of the officialdom, her demeanor was pure and innocent, and she was not at all philistine. He couldn't help but glanced sideways, and saw that she silently bowed her head to pick leaves, and she was full of youthful heroism under the men's clothes.

After a while, Shen Yue broke the silence and said, "Miss Pan Xiao hurried back from the Imperial Academy for lunch?"

Hearing this, the girl raised her eyes and met Shen Yue directly, showing two canine teeth, and said with a calm smile: "Yes, the two of you feel deserted when eating, and there are few dishes, so the three of you will be more lively."

Two people?

Shen Yue looked around and looked at the eunuch in blue who was picking up broken stones with his body behind his back. He recalled the words and deeds of the former emperor just now, and for a moment felt that the yard and the three people in the garden in front of him were contrary to common sense, but also interesting.

In a daze, Pan Xiao asked: "If the two adults don't dislike it, why don't you stay for a light meal?"

"Yes, the palace sent fresh seasonal vegetables early in the morning, you two might as well stay here and taste the craftsmanship of Jinxiang Pavilion."

Shen Yue and his younger brother looked at each other, and said politely: "The emperor, Miss Pan Xiao is interested. It's just that there are still some urgent matters at home. I will ask for a meal when I have time in the future." After finishing speaking, Shen Yue will take the last Put the root vegetable seedlings on the green pile and turn to stand up.

The late emperor's eyes showed regret, and he said: "Master Shen has said that the Jinxiang Pavilion is waiting for you at any time. My body is dirty, hope Xiao, you will send the two adults off for me."

"it is good."

Shen Yue knew clearly that Pan Xiao's leg was inconvenient, so he stopped him seriously, and the girl who had already got up had no choice but to give up.
