Spring Forest Evening

After returning to the main courtyard, Shen Yi was already there with her son, and said that it didn't matter whether the rain would stop or not, she decided to go back after lunch.

Seeing her frowning and unhappy look, Zhou Heng didn't know how to comfort her. After much deliberation, he finally only said:

"Maybe...it will be hot again in two days."

Then the old lady couldn't stand the heat and went to the Zhuangzi outside the city to escape the summer heat.

Shen Yi listened but still frowned and said:

"The old lady of my family, you don't know, she is most afraid of heat, and she has a strong body. In previous years, she would take the summer mat at least half a month later than us. Whenever she went to the village outside to escape the summer heat, Lord Hou would pick her up. She was willing to come back, she just came out at this moment, how could she be willing to come back!"

"It's not false to say that she misses Ahua, but if she wants to see her grandson, she can get someone to pick her up. It's not as far away as the palace, and it takes a few hours to get there in a carriage. Even in this place, you are willing to come back like this?"

It means what kind of trouble is the old lady going to make?Zhou Heng couldn't say anything, but Shen Fu said something after hearing this:

"Then let's go back and have a look, and I'll send someone to pick you up later."

"You, put it lightly!" Shen Yi wanted to say that no younger brother went to pick up his sister from his in-law's house, and he didn't make a fuss, and it wasn't during the holidays, so he didn't have to be caught by the old lady, but the words I endured it to the point of my mouth, and changed it to:

"I'd better go back and see what's going on!"

"Sister, will you go back with us?" A Hua held the little sparrow that was still alive in one hand, and asked Zhou Heng's skirt with the other hand.

"Sister is not going," Zhou Heng was thinking about how to answer him, but Shen Fu walked over to answer the words with a smile: "Sister is here...uncle, you go back to see grandma first, and come back with your mother in two days. OK?"

The grandparents and grandchildren have a good relationship. Hearing the word "grandmother", Ah Hua was quite happy: "Grandma brought Ah Hua delicious food and told Ah Hua stories!"

Shen Yi curled her lips and said nothing.

In this way, we had lunch together, and when the rain stopped, Shen Yi, mother and son went home. Zhou Heng sent the reluctant little friend Ahua to the gate of the main courtyard, and Shen Fu, who was about to go to the outer courtyard, picked him up. They walked out together, and specifically mentioned the little bow given to him. Finally, the little guy turned his head and forgot about Zhou Heng, the fairy sister who he had known for a few days.

Uncle He also walked away with a smile, saying that he wanted to go back and think about how to talk to Empress Jiang the next day, so Zhou Heng still planned to go to bed and take a nap according to the habits he had developed during these days.

Before going to sleep, lying on the bed, she couldn't help reminiscing about the scenery she saw along the way to Wanqingyuan in the morning. It's strange to say that she didn't go out when she was in Zhou Mansion, and she didn't feel much. After all, in ancient TV dramas I have seen similar houses before, and I have been to ancient buildings such as the Forbidden City before, but today's trip feels very different.

Could it be because this is Shen Fu's mansion?I feel that in the future I will...

Not letting himself think about it, he forcibly turned his thoughts to the Wanqing Courtyard. After tossing and turning for a while, he suddenly had a thought: just now in the Wanqing Courtyard, he just checked the situation on the ground, anyway, it is now in ruins , What if the whole yard is excavated?

After all, if you want to hide something underground, you don't want people to find it easily, right?That may not necessarily be able to see something from the surface, not to mention it is a long time ago.

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng decided to ask Shen Fu when he came over for dinner at night.

As a result, when it was time for dinner, Uncle He didn't come over, but Shen Fu still came back a little earlier. Before Zhou Heng could talk about his thoughts, he said something first:

"Aheng, I've started to get someone to start preparing for something this afternoon. When I wake up tomorrow morning, I'll ask Chun Yu's father, who is in charge of the mansion, to take charge. I'll send someone to dig under the Wanqing courtyard to see if there are any clues— "

"Oops!" Zhou Heng burst out in surprise when he said this, and regardless of Chuntao was still present, he grabbed Shen Fu's hand on his side with both hands, and blurted out:

"Honey, we're thinking about being together again!"

Chuntao, who was lowering her head to wipe the table as she said this, immediately raised her head in surprise, and glanced at the three clasped hands. According to what Chuntao herself said to Chunyu later:

"...Miss Biao is really amazing, she even called the prince 'dear', it's really embarrassing! But I watched, hehe, sister, I'm not bragging, I was so calm at the time, I just watched it so calmly One glance, and then I saw that the prince is actually very comfortable with this title, really! I saw him almost laughing, and then put his hand on Miss Biao's hand, um, and then I I can only work and pretend I can't see it!"

Chun Yu blushed when she heard that, and couldn't help thinking of the soles of the shoes she put in the basket. She put them away for a while that night, thinking that if she had time, she would make two more pairs of cotton shoes. Didn't the Northwest side hear that during the year? Was it freezing cold for eight months?

On Zhou Heng's side, he didn't know that his unintentional words similar to the mantra had shamed the little maid around him. After dinner, he even imagined with Shen Fu about the gold, silver and jewels dug under the Wanqing Courtyard. It never occurred to me that when it was almost noon the next day, Chun Yu hurried in and said that she was going to deliver food to her father, and the prince happened to be there too, and asked her to come back and tell Miss Biao that a hole was dug out there:

"Miss Biao, please don't worry. I heard this servant tell you. At that time, I saw it with my own eyes. The hole is not big, but it is quite deep. Maybe I have to dig again in the afternoon to get something. My father will live and eat there all these days. On the other side, the yard is surrounded by people, and the name to the outside world is reconstruction, and no one discovered it."

"My lord asked my servant to tell you that he will come back to tell you face to face when he is free. If he doesn't come, it means that there is still work to be done. Oh, by the way, Uncle He has also passed."

"Okay," Zhou Heng was a little curious after hearing this, but he was not so urgent. Since Shen Fu said so, let's wait for the good news. He looked up and looked outside the house. Although it rained yesterday, it was raining again this morning. The sun was shining brightly, so he asked Chunyu again:

"The sun is so hot, is there any shelter at the Wanqing Courtyard? Or you can send me two umbrellas later."

"Don't worry, when I went there in the morning, I watched. Someone built a pergola over there. There are tables and chairs. My father and the others are also wearing straw hats..."

The two were talking, when Shen Fu came back, followed by Uncle He and Mu Yun who was carrying a food box.

Zhou Heng walked forward and watched carefully, Shen Fu smiled slightly, and Uncle He laughed loudly behind him, it seems that he should have gained a lot.

Unexpectedly, before he was seated, seeing Chun Yu and Mu Yun laying dishes on the table together, Shen Fu's first sentence was:

"Aheng, I discussed it with Uncle He just now, and you will have to work hard for the past two days to move to elder sister's yard."
