Spring Forest Evening

After Shen Yi left, she never came back, thinking about it, she also felt that she had nothing to say to Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng didn't care too much, anyway, the two of them didn't know each other well at all, it's better to be safe with each other than to hide and avoid people's embarrassing chats, not to mention that with the respect of Princess Shen Yi, it's not worth it for someone who can't even see his identity now The cousin of my aunt's family wronged myself, so after that, just like in the gardens of most of the princes and nobles in the capital, only the sound of cicadas on the willow trees by the water is left on the bank of Shangyun Pool, which is deserted and boring. .

The emperor's summer vacation was really timely. Once the big team left the capital, the temperature in the capital had risen by several degrees. According to Chuntao, now even the lively and active little shadow was too lazy to stick his tongue out and not move his nest. And know how hot it is outside.

Because of Shen Yi's visit, Nanny Shen took the little black dog out of the garden ahead of time because she was afraid that the little black dog would disturb the young master's son, but when she brought it back afterwards, she found that it had been lying under the ice mirror all day and refused to move. It was not until the evening that Chuntao dragged her out of the door by the neck and had to run with her.

So boring, Zhou Heng also wanted to go out for a stroll. After all, Shen Fu used to come over every evening to eat, talk, and chat. Now it is only him and the two who have already talked. The maids who are bored face each other all day long, and it is also quite boring. The books in the inner study are almost the same now, and the rest are only those books about military affairs such as the formation of troops that I can't understand. , presumably Shen Fu likes it.

The Zhou family secretly sent her a letter through Nanny Shen. The letter was written by Mrs. Zhou herself, to the effect that she originally thought that Shen Fu would not go to the palace, so she was relieved that Zhou Heng would stay in Prince Jing's mansion. Thinking about it, Shen Fu suddenly changed his mind later, and the emperor Xu, because of Shen Fu's face, even specially sent the eunuch to pass the word of mouth, allowing Zhou Yan and Mrs. Xie to accompany Mrs. Zhou to the palace with the army to escape the summer heat , the emperor's kindness is great, the preparations at home are in a hurry, and there will be no time to contact her in the future, but Shen Fu should tell her when he comes to Shen Fu.

No, Zhou Heng felt a little surprised, but I heard from Madam Shen that Shen Fu was very busy in the few days before his departure. Didn't they not have much contact with each other, even if Shen Fu knew, maybe he forgot to tell her.

Zhou Heng didn't care about this. After all, the people in the Zhou family were not very familiar with her. If you really want to talk about it, when you come to this world, the people who are really familiar with you are only a few people in Prince Jing's mansion.

So Zhou Heng didn't think much of Mrs. Zhou's apology in the letter. Even when he saw the letter saying that the rest of the family went to the Zhuangzi outside the city to escape the summer heat as in previous years, there was no time to contact her in a hurry. Zhou Heng didn't feel much about being afraid that an accident would attract attention.

It's so hot, is there anyone in the city, and even the daily entertainment is much less, since it's possible, why don't you find a cool place to go?

As for why the letter should be forwarded by Mother Shen instead of Shen Fu, although Zhou Heng was a little puzzled at first, but after reading it, he understood——

Mrs. Zhou expresses her regret in the letter, saying that she saw that Shen Fu was good to her granddaughter when she was in Zhuangzi, and thought that after this test, she found the truth. Later, when she learned that Shen Fu would not go to the palace, she thought it was for Zhou Heng. Thinking about it, who knows that he still changed his mind in the end, it seems that it must have "fall short".

As if she was afraid that her granddaughter would not understand it enough, Mrs. Zhou even drew a line on the left side of the words "fall short of success". Now that Zhou Heng has adapted to the rules of vertical typesetting, she naturally paid attention to it when she emphasized it so much. , After thinking about it carefully, I realized that this was to remind myself that I had failed the embarrassing request that the old lady made when she gave away the little yellow book last time.

No wonder you deliberately waited until Shen Fu left to send it over, because you were afraid that Shen Fu would see the contents of the letter, right?The old lady was cautious enough, Zhou Heng smiled, and then simply put the letter in the little yellow book.

Originally, I planned to dispose of the little yellow book after reading it, but after returning to the palace from Zhuangzi, I realized that even such a seemingly easy task, there are two maids by my side at any time, and there is no one around. In the case of litter boxes, it is still difficult to accomplish.

It’s fine if it’s any other book, and it’s fine if you throw it secretly in Shangyunchi, but if something happens to such a little yellow book, it will float up by itself, it will be a big deal, and there are three people living in Liufeng Pavilion. Personally, after checking one by one, Zhou Heng felt that he couldn't take risks. Maybe his cousin would become a joke in Prince Jing's mansion, and Shen Fu would become angry and drive him out of the mansion.

Being kicked out of the mansion doesn't mean that you can't survive. After all, I still have a lot of banknotes given by Mrs. Zhou, and I wanted to leave at first, but when I leave, I have to leave in a dignified manner, right?

So just like that, the little yellow book was still placed in the jewelry box. Fortunately, the two maids were obedient and well-behaved, and they both saw Zhou Heng take out the bank note from the box and ask them where they were going. To exchange it, you will not touch it easily. Putting Mrs. Zhou's letter together now is the safest thing to do.

After putting away the letter, by the way, Zhou Heng took the key given by Shen Fu from the box, and took out a bank note, saying that he should either go to say hello to Nanny Shen, and then call Chenfeng, and come out on Thursday morning. Everyone goes out together, no matter where, she treats guests.

Chuntao's eyes lit up when she heard it. Since the prince left, three people and one dog are really boring. For this reason, she proactively expressed that she can arrange the "burden" of the little shadow:

"Miss Biao, don't worry, last time the servant took the little shadow to a place a little far away from our Liufeng Pavilion. Did you build a broken dog hole full of grass? Later, the servant pulled out the grass, and the little shadow went out of the hole several times. It is still chubby, the servant figured, it must have gone to the kitchen to eat."

"Chun Tao, get to the point, don't be so wordy!" Chun Yu couldn't stand it.

"Oh, sister Chunyu, don't worry, you have to learn more from Ms. Biao!" Ms. Biao is better, she smiles and listens to herself every time, and never interrupts, but Chuntao doesn't care, she can go shopping anyway I'm in a good mood:

"What I mean is, if we want to go out for a day this time, let the little shadow go out of the dog hole for a day too, Miss Cousin, the little shadow is good, and it will come back when we come back, nothing will happen Yes!"

He talked about the dog hole with great interest to Zhou Heng, who was listening to her with a smile: "After pulling the weeds, the slave girl looked outside, and then buckled the wall covering, and the soil fell straight down without buckling." Well, Miss Biao, if the little shadow doesn’t come back by then, the servants will sneak over to look for it! I just don’t know which part of our palace is outside the wall, and will it happen to bump into the night watch—”

"Okay, the more you say it, the more you don't look good. You're a girl, don't be ashamed!" Chun Yu couldn't help but interrupted again.

All right, drilling a dog hole is really a bit indecent, this time Chuntao held back and didn't refute, just opened her two bright eyes and waited for Zhou Heng to show her.

Zhou Heng was also very happy. Seeing this, he directly made a decision: "Okay, let's make a decision like this. It's better to choose a date than to hit the sun, Chunyu, and when you get the meal, you can go and tell Mother Shen that we plan to Tomorrow, I will go out for a stroll, buy something and then find a restaurant for a meal or something. Then I will walk through the corner gate. The prince will give you the key. It will not disturb other people in the mansion, and I will definitely come back before the sun sets. Then you go and inform Chen Feng that he will meet us at the intersection on the other side of the corner gate, so there will be no movement and no one will see it."

Afterwards, Chun Yu got what she wanted and got back from Nanny Shen: "Mammy said she knew, please be careful when Miss Biao goes out, and when she comes back in the evening, let the maidservant go and tell her again. The maidservant at Chenfeng has already informed, He said that he knows the way, and he will wait for us there on time tomorrow morning."

He also said that Chuntao, whose eyes were shining brightly after hearing this, said: "The mama also said, depending on the weather, it might rain heavily tonight, remember to close the doors and windows at night, there might be thunderstorms at that time, you should watch out little Shadow, don't let it bark and disturb Miss Biao's rest."

Zhou Heng felt very happy when he heard this: "The sun is shining all day long. It's been a long time since it rained. I didn't expect that when we mentioned that we were going to go shopping, there would be thunder and rain. It seems that tomorrow will be very cool, which is very suitable. Let's go shopping!"

Joking and joking, the three girls even thought their dinner was more delicious than before. Chuntao even called everyone to go to bed early tonight so that they would have the energy to go shopping tomorrow.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Heng remembered how he felt when he was in elementary school because he was locked in school all day long, looking forward to the spring outing and autumn outing, so he also smiled and pulled Chunyu who was curling his lips next to her and said, "Oh, we Just listen to Chuntao! Close the doors and windows tightly, the wind and rain will not come in, and sleep until dawn—"

"Then let's go shopping!" Chuntao answered excitedly, lay down on the quilt spread on the floor in front of the bed, and let the little shadow next to her rub against her body: "Oh, good I'm so happy, I wish it would be dawn soon!"
