Yanmenchun

Chapter 3

Princess Tai'an didn't continue this topic, and Shen Tuchan didn't want to talk about it anymore.

When leaving the palace, Princess Ningguo sent her to the gate of Kunning Palace, and said confidently: "A-chan, when I leave the palace, I will go to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion as a guest, please remember to treat me well, I love roast duck with honey sauce .”

Shen Tuchan nodded and saluted, the maid came and led her away.

Princess Ningguo has grown so big that she rarely leaves the palace. She is the jewel of the capital, and she is greeted and hugged wherever she goes.Shen Tuchan didn't pay attention to what she said.

After returning to the Zhenbeihou Mansion, I went directly to the old lady's Heshou Hall. The old lady was not chanting scriptures at the moment, and was being served by the nanny to eat the soup. Shen Tuchan naturally went to pick up the soup bowl and serve the grandmother to take the medicine.

The old lady waved her hand lightly: "You have been tossing around too, please sit down."

Shen Tuchan sat down on the chair next to her, and when the old lady finished her medicine and filled her candied fruit, she began to talk about the affairs of the palace, and she had nothing to say, only the main ones.

Speaking of Princess Tai'an, the old lady glanced at Mama Kong, and Mama Kong said: "The princess's marriage is about to be finalized, and it will only take two days, the son of Duke Ming."

The Duke of the Ming Dynasty was surnamed Zheng, and his eldest son, Zheng Zhe, was seventeen this year.

Zheng Zhe is well-known in this capital city, and he can basically be ranked fourth among famous ladies who want to marry.

The first is that there is no row, which naturally alludes to the emperor's sons.

The second is Qin Wenyu, the eldest son of King Ronghua.

The third is Chen Jing, the second son of Princess Chang'an.

Tai'an is a princess, so the first option is ruled out. Qin Wenyu is her cousin after a generation, and Chen Jing is her cousin; in this way, Princess Tai'an is indeed a good son-in-law.

Shen Tuchan didn't take it very seriously at first, but now that she understands the whole story, she doesn't take it too seriously.

The old lady patted her head affectionately: "In three years, you will be just sixteen years old."

Women in Dajin get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

Shen Tuchan didn't speak, these things were still very far away for her.

It was evening when she came out of her grandmother's room, Shen Tuchan went back to Qingfengyuan, ate some refreshments and soup, then went to bed and went to sleep.Sleep is more nourishing than eating.

The spring equinox put the bed curtains out lightly, Xiaoman stepped on a chair and took out a small green cloth package from a row of locked wardrobes, and carefully placed it under the bed where he could reach it with his hands. He fell asleep on the pedals.

It was already midnight when Shentuchan woke up, and the night was getting dark. She woke up half dozed off and sat up directly from the bed to touch the green cloth package under the bed. Xiaoman was also woken up by the shaking of the shadow.

Shen Tuchan has already quickly opened the package, and inside are two very ordinary men's uniforms with narrow sleeves and narrow body.

Shen Tuchan didn't need Xiao Man to wait on her, she put the clothes on herself, and after she was done putting on, she wrapped her hair with a headband, and Xiao Man also hurriedly put on her own dress and tied a bun.

Just after tidying up, Chun Equinox opened the door and came in. Shen Tuchan and Xiao Man nodded at her, opened the window and jumped out; Chun Equinox climbed onto the bed calmly, and lay down on the bed.

After climbing over the wall, there is a small alley next to Zhenbeihou's Mansion. The street where Zhenbeihou's Mansion is located is called Suoyi Hutong. In addition to Zhenbeihou's Mansion, this street also has Wu'anhou's Mansion and Ankang County Lord's Mansion.

The alley where Shen Tuchan came out was behind the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.Walking along the alley, they got farther and farther away from Xungui's gathering place, and then the two entered a small courtyard, and rode out after a while.

The curfew in the Great Jin Dynasty was relatively loose. Walking on the streets was not allowed after the second watch. Shentuchan and Xiaoman rode out of the city all the way.

The night wind was blowing warmly and coolly on Shentuchan's face, like the wind carrying sand in Hanzhong, the sadness in her heart seemed to heal a little bit.

After returning to Beijing, she and Xiaoman often went out to gallop at night, or went to the village on the edge of the city to practice martial arts and swords, or had tea and wine in the downtown area.

In the past, dancing with guns and sticks was her hobby, but not anymore. She has a belief in her heart.

One day, she must go back to Mobei, and let the Hulu outside Yanmen pass pay with their blood.

Because of the sad news of her parents' death in battle, Shen Tuchan didn't come out for a while.

After riding for nearly two hours, she finally arrived at Zhuangzi. She said it was called Zhuangzi, but it was actually a small idle yard.

There is a weapon rack in the main room of the courtyard. Shen Tuchan started practicing martial arts at the age of eight, and it has been five years now.

Xiaoman practiced martial arts to protect her, worked harder than her, and surpassed her in martial arts.

Shen Tuchan wields two swords, she draws them out, the swords are piercing the clouds and pounce on the moon, these are the ones her father found for her.The bright moonlight reflected by the sword light fell on her face, with a bit of murderous aura.

Xiao Man drew his sword to meet him, the light of the sword was inseparable, Shen Tuchan used all his strength, and every blow was a heavy attack.

Xiaoman's strength is higher than Shentuchan's, in this aspect the master is spoiled, so naturally he can't match her.

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Tuchan was shot down by Xiao Man, and the two swords also fell to the ground.

Dense sweat was already protruding from her forehead, and her breathing was fast and heavy, Xiao Man hurriedly backed her sword and quickly helped her up.

Shen Tuchan held her hand and stood up. Xiaoman grew up with her, and couldn't help but said: "Miss, you are precious, so you don't have to choose such a bad plan."

Shen Tuchan sat on the ground: "I can't think of a better way yet."

Xiao Man also sat down next to her: "You don't talk about your worries these days, miss, haven't you thought about marrying a general? Then you can return to Mobei in a legitimate way."

"Depending on others is worse than relying on myself. I will definitely think of a better way." The moonlight shone on the ground like a layer of frost.

Seeing how determined she is, Xiaoman said loudly, "Okay, one day, we'll go back to Mobei and kill him to death!"

Shen Tuchan jumped up from the ground, picked up the two swords: "Come again!"

Shentuchan and Xiaoman struggled like this for seven or eight days before realizing that Feng Yingru was waiting to visit her, so she hurriedly asked Chunfen to write a post.

Feng Yingru came over in the afternoon for the post written in the morning.

Feng Ying is now fourteen years old, tall and slender, with a beautiful face, a pair of big eyes looking forward to shine, but his facial features are indescribably cold, making girls of the same age daunting.

When she was a child, her mother said that Sisi must have a beautiful face when she grows up, with a compelling temperament and the appearance of great wealth.At this moment, the servant girl gently opened the curtain, and Feng Yingru leaned in, with picturesque eyebrows, not to mention noble and elegant.

Only then did Shen Tuchan remember what her mother said, but as her mother expected, Sisi looks even better now.

Feng Yingru came up to see that she was in a daze, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter? It's fine if you don't see me, but you're in a daze when you see me."

Shen Tuchan came back to her senses, took her hand and sat down: "I just remembered what mother praised you just now." Before Feng Yingru could speak, he said again: "My Hao Sisi is really shining now!"

Seeing that she wasn't sad because of this, Feng Yingru stretched out his hand to scratch her nose in a joke: "There is a saying that like attracts like, I'm afraid you are praising yourself."

"Nonsense! I'm obviously a good-looking talent!" Shen Tuchan scolded with a smile.

The spring equinox came in with tea and snacks, and Chun Yu was Shen Tuchan's other maid, who came in to help Shen Tuchan and Feng Yingru take off their shoes, and they sat on the beauties' couch drinking tea and talking.

There were also some grapes in the small dish, Feng Yingru's maid, Yu Rong'er, sat on a small stool beside her to help the master peel the grapes.The spring equinox brought another pile of oranges, Shen Tuchan didn't ask the maid to help, and took one in her hand.

Feng Yingru poured tea for her and said, "You are bored at home, and you may not have heard the wind outside at all. I heard that you went to the palace to play with Princess Ningguo a few days ago."

"What's the rumor?" Shen Tuchan paused.

Feng Yingru sipped tea: "Have you heard about the marriage between Princess Tai'an and Zheng Zhe?"

Shen Tuchan nodded: "Is this? I heard about it."

Feng Yingru shook her head: "The marriage didn't happen." Shen Tuchan was puzzled: "What's the matter with the princess's marriage?"

Feng Yingru whispered: "Originally, the two were childhood sweethearts, and it was a matter of certainty. But two days ago, Zheng Zhe met Yang Caikui at Princess Kang'an's banquet."
