King’s House Kindergarten

"What is it?" Shen Yue asked along with Zhuang's previous words while bowing her head and pulling her sleeves.

Only then did Mr. Zhuang react.

Just seeing her, I just forgot what I said before, I just said in surprise, "Come here, auntie take a look."

Halfway through the words, she was still listening carefully, so she didn't have anything to say. After Shen Yue pulled up her sleeves, she raised her eyes in confusion, just in line with Zhuang Shi's.

Zhuang's eyes were full of surprise.

It seemed that he even forgot to look away and stared blankly.

Shen Yue looked down at her sleeves and belt. He turned around and looked behind him and left and right, making sure that his aunt was looking at him.

He also happened to be pacing up to Mrs. Zhuang, and asked, "Why is my aunt looking at me like this? I just got home, and I haven't had time to make trouble!"

Zhuang Shi couldn't help but smile.

Shen Yue also laughed, but just after laughing, she seemed to suddenly understand, and sighed shyly, "I'm not suitable for such bright colors..."

She was about to turn back to the screen and changed her clothes. Mrs. Zhuang stretched out her hand and held it with a smile of relief in her eyes, "We Yueyue have grown up, and the 18th National Women's University has changed, and it has become so beautiful..."

Shen Yue was stunned.

"Come." Mrs. Zhuang took her hand and took her seat in front of the dressing table.

"Auntie?" Before Shen Yue glanced at the bronze mirror, Mrs Zhuang untied her hair and began to comb it.

Zhuang's hands and feet are already very light, but when combing her hair, she still asks, "Does it hurt? Talk to my aunt when it hurts."

Shen Yue said, "It doesn't hurt."

When she was a child, it was her mother who combed her hair, but she was not Xiao Shen Yue after all. When she was very young, she would comb her hair and wash her face by herself.

After her mother passed away, her uncle took her to Beijing. She could do many things by herself without bothering her aunt.

Therefore, her hair is combed by herself, as simple as it is; the clothes are also chosen by herself, and the color should not be too conspicuous, as long as it is comfortable.

Right now, Mrs Zhuang sighed while combing her hair, "You're used to having your own preferences, and your preference is that when you don't care about clothes and jewelry, dressing up and dressing up is also a fool's errand, and you're a girl, so don't even think about it. Dress up well."

"I'm fine..." Shen Yue sighed.

Compared with before the crossing, the clothes here are much more complicated, not to mention the headgear. She is not sloppy, but feels that it is more delicate than before.

Zhuang naturally couldn't guess what she was thinking, but after hearing her words, she couldn't help sighing, "It's good, but it can be much better..."

Shen Yue was confounded by the words "much better" in her mouth.

Zhuang's head was finally combed.

Shen Yue was about to turn her head and look in the mirror to see what her aunt had combed her hair, when Zhuang Shi broke her head back, "Wait a minute."

Shen Yue only saw her take off a hairpin from her head.

"Aunt?" Shen Yue wanted to stop.

Mrs. Zhuang has already chosen a suitable place to bring her slowly, "This jadeite butterfly hairpin was given to me by your grandmother when she was alive, and it matches your clothes perfectly."

"Auntie, that was given to you by your grandmother." Shen Yue heard Zhuang's overtones.

Zhuang Shi said with a gentle smile, "Your aunt is only your niece, who will you give it to if you don't?"

Shen Yue hurriedly took it down, "Send it to my future daughter-in-law, my cousin, anyway, I don't want it! If my grandmother wanted to send me, she would give it to my mother. My grandmother was not partial, she gave my mother an emerald bracelet. , would you like to show it to you~"

Shen Yue giggled.

Zhuang's forbearance, knowing what she meant, she didn't force it, "Then I'll go get another one."

"Auntie, I have a hairpin, so I'll bring it at the end." Liang Ye gave him one earlier.

Zhuang Shi smiled, that's fine.

It was originally a room for her, but Mrs. Zhuang opened the drawer, and there was rouge and gouache in it.

"Yeah!" Shen Yue was surprised.

Zhuang said with a smile, "It's all for you. Originally, I thought that you should get dressed up when you came back this time. It just happens that you can use it tonight."

While speaking, Zhuang Shi motioned her to close her eyes.

Shen Yue had to close her eyes.

Zhuang was meticulous, and from time to time she made her eyes open, closed, turned her head sideways, lowered her head, raised her head, and so on. After all, Shen Yue suddenly felt that her aunt should spend a lot more time on makeup every day than she does...

Shen Yue felt a little ashamed.

After a long time, Mrs. Zhuang finally stopped and asked her to open her eyes again. She opened her eyes obediently. Mrs. Zhuang sighed, "Ayue, you really put a little thought into it, you are all these little beauties on the eighth street."

Shen Yue smiled, "Auntie, you are suspected of selling melons by Grandma Wang."

Mrs Zhuang wondered, "Which queen?"

Shen Yue paused for a while, then hesitantly said, "It's just... There was one in Jinzhou before... It's so early, I can't remember..."

Knowing that she was fooling, Mrs. Zhuang reached out and stroked the bangs on her forehead, becoming more satisfied, and asked, "Where's the hairpin?"

Shen Yue remembered, and took out the wax plum hairpin that Liang Ye had just given her from her sleeve pocket.

Mr. Zhuang looked at it and said hesitantly, "It's a bit plain. Either use the jade hairpin just now, which is also elegant, or use the red hairpin to embellish it just right..."

Shen Yue smiled and said, "Okay, auntie, just use this one."

Zhuang Shi sighed, plugged it in for her, and then took the bronze mirror on one side.

Shen Yue casually glanced at the bronze mirror, and her face that was still smiling was a little stunned.

Then he got closer, the person in the bronze mirror got closer, she was farther away, and the person in the bronze mirror was also farther away... There was no doubt that it was her.

Shen Yue was surprised.

Mrs Zhuang smiled and said, "Ayue, from tomorrow onwards, you have to spend some time learning from your aunt."

"Oh..." Shen Yue replied dully.

It was too early, and Mrs. Zhuang said, "There are still a few more clothes, let's try them together. If there is something that doesn't fit, there is still time to change it before the shop.

Shen Yue is very kind.

Zhuang shi hadn't seen her for a long time, and he used her to try on clothes, and he talked to her for a long time in the room. When all the clothes were almost finished, the night became dark.

"My aunt is so discerning, I don't need to change anything."

Zhuang Shi smiled, "Then you wash up early and rest, don't you want to go to the post house tomorrow?"

Shen Yue also remembered, "Yeah, there are still a lot of things to do, I'm afraid it will be very late today, they will go to Xucheng tomorrow, I have to get some materials out overnight, just go tomorrow, and turn off the lights later. Don't worry, auntie."

"Well." Mrs. Zhuang clapped her hand, "Tomorrow, let Ye'er go with you to repay the gratitude, everyone is in Shancheng, let him say thank you."

Shen Yue smiled.

Mrs Zhuang got up, approached the door, and said to her again, "Don't be too late."

"Okay." Shen Yue responded.

Shen Yue closed the door after seeing off the Zhuang family.

She hadn't lied just now, she still had some things to sort out tonight. When I was in the palace earlier, I still had a lot of free time to come out in the evening. Although I was writing all the way out this time, I spent most of the time with my babies.

Shen Yue took a seat before returning to the case.

My aunt and uncle knew that she had the habit of reading and writing, and there were desks in the house for her convenience.

Shen Yue took out the unfinished booklet from her bag, and was about to continue when she saw the ruby ​​hairpin, her eyes froze.

It was Zhuo Yuan who said earlier that she should put the ruby ​​hairpin here first, saying that it was the big red flower to reward her, and then she would change it with the hairpin when the spring flowers bloomed behind her. It's better to take valuables with you, and you won't be able to pay for them if you've been away for so long.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Just as there was a mirror on the desk, Shen Yue took off the plum blossom hairpin and pinned the ruby ​​hairpin to the hair room.

What my aunt said was right, or the ruby ​​hairpin was just right.

Shen Yue smiled and didn't take it off. Fangzheng didn't have anyone else watching. He washed and changed clothes later, and then took it off and put it away.

Shen Yue regained her focus and started to work.

***

Mrs Zhuang returned to the room, and Liang Youwei also washed and changed, and read a book on the bed.

Seeing Mr. Zhuang coming back, he asked, "Why did you go for so long?"

Zhuang Shi smiled, "Looking at A Yue's clothes, the size is just right, I'm not wrong."

While undressing, Mrs Zhuang sighed, "The eighteenth change of the female university, I just changed my clothes, I combed Ayue's hair and makeup, the girl's family is getting older, and it is better to see the bones, and it is rare that there is no superfluous pretense. , just right, I think, there should be peach blossoms."

Liang Youwei was stunned.

I don't know why, I inexplicably think of the natural familiarity when Shen Yue mentions Zhuo Yuan today... Zhuo Yuan is the name of the king of Pingyuan, and it should not be evoked so commonly.

In my thoughts, I heard Mrs. Zhuang say, "This girl is still busy, she is used to doing things seriously, and she said that tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the children in the palace will leave for Xucheng, and she is afraid that she will have to rush to work at night. It will be very late, and it will be delivered tomorrow."

Liang Youwei also returned to his senses. He didn't think about it any more, and replied, "Let her do what she likes to do. She always forgets to eat and sleep, so it's better to be busy."

Mr. Zhuang thought about it too, so he didn't ask any more questions.

When Mrs. Zhuang went to the ear room to wash up, Liang Youwei put down the book in his hand, and was a little worried in his heart. People like Pingyuan Palace are not something that a small family like them can afford...

But after thinking about it, she couldn't help shaking her head again, A Yue's mind was not on clinging to the powerful.

And King Pingyuan... When he was in Beijing, the children of the aristocratic family next to him listened a lot, but they never heard that King Pingyuan was a womanizer, and he didn't provoke romantic debts. His family style was very upright.

Liang Youwei thought that maybe he was over-hearted.

***

Time passed, and the lights in the garden gradually went out.

Shen Yue is still concentrating on writing.

Today, I said hello to my family. I have to rush to work tonight. No one will disturb her. She has a whole night to concentrate on completing her work.

When the lights are cleared and the lights are replaced, it should be around the clock.

Shen Yue yawned faintly, and felt that the speed had slowed down, but after yawning, it continued.

Suddenly, I heard a voice calling her from outside the house.

Shen Yue was stunned, at first she thought she heard it wrong, but later, she did hear the words "Miss Shen" in a soft voice...

Naturally, no one at home would call her Miss Shen, Shen Yue was stunned subconsciously, but when the voice sounded again, Shen Yue could hear that it was Zhuo Ye's voice.

Zhuo Ye?

Shen Yue was surprised.

But because he recognized Zhuo Ye's voice, he wasn't afraid. He stood up and went to the window.

When Zhuo Ye saw her, the whole person seemed to pause slightly, just as Shen Yue asked, "Why are you here?"

Moreover, it looks like it is over the wall, and I don't want to alarm others.

Zhuo Ye came back to his senses, "Miss Shen, Miss Jiu has been crying tonight. No matter how hard the wangye coaxes her, she can't help it. Miss Jiu won't see you tonight, so she's been crying..."

"..." Shen Yue originally wanted to say that it shouldn't, but she knew that Zhuo Ye should not be clear.

Zhuo Ye said again, "The lord has no choice. Miss Jiu promised to sleep when she sees Miss Shen, so the lord took Miss Jiu out of the inn. But it was late at night, and he was afraid that he would visit the door and cause unnecessary trouble, so he asked me to come. trip."

"You mean... now?" Shen Yue was surprised.

Zhuo Ye was also embarrassed, "Yes, the lord brought Miss Jiu to wait in the carriage, just two blocks away, and later, his subordinates will send Miss Shen back... The main thing is that this time Miss Nine insisted that Miss Shen go home. Well, I won't see you in the future..."

Shen Yue suddenly realized that Tao Tao was insecure.

And if Tao Tao really wants to cry, she can keep crying until her throat is swollen.

Shen Yue felt a little distressed, "Wait a minute."

Shen Yue didn't care about anyone else, she stretched out her hand to reach for the cloak, quietly pushed the door out, and closed the door softly, without waking up the people next to her.

Zhuo Yeqing's gong is superb, naturally not like Zhuo Xin's three-legged cat gong.

With Shen Yue, it was easy to get out of the mansion.

Shen Yue always had a bad feeling in her heart. If her uncle and aunt knew about it, there seemed to be something that could never be explained...

Because it was just two streets away, Zhuo Ye didn't arrange the carriage alone, for fear of attracting attention. With Zhuo Ye there, it would be almost two sticks of incense.

Shen Yue saw a carriage parked in an inconspicuous alley at the intersection.

There were faint voices coming from the carriage, and Shen Yue could hear Tao Tao's voice. Tao Tao sleeps late on weekdays is also the time of Hai Zheng, and now, it is almost midnight...

Zhuo Ye stepped forward, "Your Highness, Miss Jiu, Miss Shen is here."

When Xu Shi heard Zhuo Ye's words, Tao Tao suddenly sat up from Zhuo Yuan's arms, "Ayue!"

Zhuo Ye helped Shen Yue onto the carriage, Shen Yue lifted the curtain, and just saw Tao Tao come forward.

"Peach." Shen Yue squatted down.

The charcoal was burning in the carriage, Shen Yue took off the cloak and put it on one side.

Sure enough, Taotao stepped forward to hug her, choked up a little, "Ayue, I thought you were gone."

Shen Yue said softly, "Didn't I say earlier that I should go home first? I'll come to the inn to see you tomorrow."

Tao Tao sighed, "My uncle said the same thing before, and then he went for a long time."

Following Tao Tao's words, Shen Yue raised her eyes and looked at Zhuo Yuan.

Zhuo Yuan's eyes had never moved away from her before, since she lifted the curtain and entered.

Her hair was in a hanging bun earlier, and the top of the bun was two light-colored beaded flowers, so she looked young and beautiful, and a little childish...

But today, the comb is like a cloud bun, and the exposed neck is white, and the pearl earrings that sway gently are enough to make people unable to look away.

He should have never seen her apply Fendai, let alone feel that the color of the rouge between her lips, against the backdrop of the pearl earrings, is particularly bright and charming...

He didn't have time to take his eyes back, just looking at her.

His heartbeat seemed to skip a beat, and it seemed to be thumping and jumping non-stop.

He naturally knew that she didn't come to see him on purpose, so she took a lot of trouble. Zhuo Ye didn't go for a long time, and she didn't have time to dress up; but he was still so amazed that he didn't know where to look...

She only lowered her eyes lightly, avoiding her gaze, and said warmly, "Xiao Jiu, Ayue has seen it before, shouldn't it be time to go back?"

Tao Tao refused, "But, I didn't even say a word to A Yue!"

Shen Yue looked at Zhuo Yuan, "It doesn't matter, I can do it later."

"Hmm." Zhuo Yuan hummed softly.

Shen Yue hugged Taotao and got up.

In fact, Taotao is already vaguely sleepy, but the turbulent anger from before is still there.

Right now, people are in Shen Yue's arms, talking to Shen Yue, listening to Shen Yue's gentle voice, holding Shen Yue with two small hands, and still patted her back by Shen Yue, just so sweet. Shen Yue fell asleep in her arms.

Shen Yue said softly, "I just fell asleep, let's wait for a while."

Shen Yue was afraid that she would wake up and cry again.

Zhuo Yuan also said softly, "Put it down, it's too heavy to hold."

Shen Yue really couldn't hold it anymore.

It happened that the carriage had been prepared earlier, Shen Yue squatted and leaned over, and then slowly put Tao Tao on the blanket, Zhuo Yuan reached out to help, and the two were tight again.

Fortunately, Tao Tao didn't wake up, it should be sound asleep.

The carriage was burning with charcoal warmth, so there was a gap when the curtains were placed on the car window, and the moonlight was shining through the gap in the window, and it was slightly close to him and her...

"Nice." He said softly.

Shen Yue was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, there seemed to be a blush on both sides of her cheeks, but she couldn't respond well, so she lowered her brows.

The corner of Zhuo Yuan's mouth tickled slightly, and he smiled softly, "I mean, the hairpin looks good."

"...Ah?" Shen Yue looked at him.
