When Shen Fu woke up early in the morning, he opened his eyes and saw the dark tent ceiling. Listening to the chirping of birds outside the window, he felt lost for a moment. He felt as if he had just been having a beautiful dream, but unfortunately he couldn't remember what it was. I just remember myself in the dream, which seemed... quite happy.

So from the moment he got up and freshened up, to having breakfast, until Mu Yun came over to whisper to him about the situation in the Zhou Mansion, Shen Fu had been trying hard to remember that beautiful dream, so much so that the Zhou Mansion He didn’t pay too much attention to what was going on and only listened briefly:

"Your Majesty, news has come from the Zhou Mansion that Mr. Zhou and his sons didn't sleep last night. Mrs. Zhou asked a doctor to prescribe tranquilizers before she managed to fall asleep. She couldn't get up this morning. , the same is true for Mrs. Zhou, several young ladies are waiting in the courtyards on both sides, and now, I am afraid that the Queen Mother in the palace will also know about it."

This commotion in the Zhou family was also expected. After all, the person who fell into the water was Zhou Heng, the most favored and only legitimate daughter of the Zhou family, and she asked the Queen Mother for her marriage.

Shen Fu was noncommittal about this, and his thoughts were still stuck on the dream he had this morning. He remembered that it seemed to be related to A Heng, but he couldn't remember what the relevant method was.

After leaving the house and getting on his horse, Shen Fu was blown away by the cool morning wind. He gave up his memories and concentrated on today's myriad thoughts. He first ordered Mu Yun:

"Just leave two people from the Zhou family and pay attention to the people sent by the palace. The rest of the people will go to Liuhu Lake to check the salvage situation and see if there are any suspicious people there."

After a pause, he changed his words: "We should work separately. Of course we have to pay attention to the salvage situation at Liuhu Lake. In addition... we also went to Tianxiang Building to ask. Miss Biao had lunch there yesterday. Check if there was anything there at that time. Met someone."

"Also, go in person and follow the river from Liuhu Lake to Nanshuimen to see if there is a small forest. Are there any fishermen near the forest who have lost anything... The woman's clothes to dry, and also look for them in the pawn shop. Go and ask if there are any high-quality hairpins and earrings recently. Be careful, but it's not urgent. You can find a subordinate and let him investigate slowly, so as not to alert others."

Mu Yun had been nodding in agreement before, but when he heard this, he felt a little embarrassed. He asked his master sternly: "Your Majesty, then, can I ask Aunt Shen to ask a sister for help?"

The other inquiries were just asking about the women hanging clothes to dry. Didn't you know that you had to ask those women? He was a good seven-foot man, and he went to inquire about this in broad daylight, otherwise he would be laughed at by those shrewd fisherwomen. die.

No, the joke is still light. It would be a big injustice if he was regarded as a prostitute or a thief with ulterior motives.

Shen Fu had been looking ahead and letting the horse walk slowly. He was a little surprised after hearing Mu Yun's words. He looked back and saw that the young man's face was red. Well, he really didn't consider this matter well. The things I asked about were all belonging to women. If a man of engagement age asked about them, he would feel embarrassed even if he didn't say it. It would inevitably lead to other people's thoughts.

"Then let grandma find you a safe maid, no, just Chun Yu!" Chunyu knew about it anyway.

After the explanation, Shen Fu waved his riding whip, and the dark horse "Shadow" under his crotch raised his hoof and ran quickly towards the palace...

When the emperor learned that something big had happened in the family of Zhou Yan, who was absent from the morning court, he immediately asked Shen Fu, the prospective son-in-law of the Zhou family, to go to the Zhou family to convey his and the Queen Mother's greetings to Mrs. Zhou and the Zhou family. He also asked the Minister of the Ministry of War for special He graciously said that since there was nothing going on in the Ministry of War yamen these days, let's finish the Zhou family matter before talking about it.

Shen Fu thanked him and took a leave of absence from the Minister of War next to him. After that, he left the palace amidst the discussions and looks of various emotions from the ministers, and rode directly to the Zhou Mansion.

When they arrived at the entrance of Zhou's alley, Chenfeng, who had been waiting there for a long time, followed him without leaving a trace and quickly told him about the morning's situation in a low voice:

"Mu Yun must have told you that now only the female relatives are left in the house. The men went to Liuhu Lake early in the morning. Mr. Zhou didn't come back at all. He was in person last night. Standing guard by Liuhu Lake, alas! It is said that two corpses were recovered last night, but they were not cousins. My lord, please don’t worry, cousins ​​have their own destiny..."

Having said this, I secretly glanced at my master, well, although it is a pity that such a beautiful young lady like my cousin is gone like this, but the prince is always the most important. He has never been very satisfied with this marriage, no. If it's gone, it's gone. Talking about auspicious people and celestial signs is actually deceiving oneself and others. It's so big in Liuhu, and it took most of the night to catch a boudoir's daughter. It hasn't been caught yet, so there is no hope.

Alas, it's a pity that if it weren't for this inexplicable marriage, my prince would have been directly ranked among the top three golden princes in the capital. Of course, if the two who were born in the palace were removed, he would have been able to secure the third place. One.

The result is now unlucky, the marriage is still there, but the person is gone, and the dignified Prince Jing has become half a widower. It is really unlucky to think about it!

Oops! Thinking of this, Chen Feng quickly covered his mouth without realizing it. Why did he talk so much about his cousin?

No wonder the prince pursed his lips and ignored himself and passed by. Even the "shadow" snorted. Alas, with a sigh, Chenfeng said that he didn't want to mention Miss Biao, but he had no choice. Now he has so many I feel sorry for the wasted money that I am about to pay to Mu Yun, and I regret the bet I made when I was full.

That day when I came back from the Daxiangguo Temple, I thought that the fortune teller said that this was a good match, so I boldly placed a bet with Mu Yun. Alas, who would have thought of the result? It had just been a few days. The entire year's worth of moonlight was just gone!

In view of the heartfelt pain for Yinzi, Chenfeng's sigh was inevitably louder, causing Shen Fu in front to look back, and he quickly lowered his head in fear.

However, what his prince said next made Chenfeng raise his head in surprise:

"When you get to the house later, put away your dejected look. Didn't you say it yourself just now? My cousin is blessed with good fortune and everything will be fine. Did you hear me?"

My lord, wasn't I just trying to comfort you? No matter how good the weather is, I can't help it. Almost a day and a night have passed. The good swimmers in the capital are all busy in Liuhu Lake, but there has been no news. come!

So, since you can't live without seeing anyone, isn't it...remembering what Mu Yun usually warned him, Chenfeng shrank his head and nodded honestly: "Yes, I will remember it!"

After entering the Zhou Mansion, Shen Fu was welcomed into the inner courtyard based on his aunt-nephew relationship with Mrs. Zhou Xie and his marriage to Zhou Heng, as well as the Holy Spirit's oral instructions, and met Zhou who was bedridden. Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Zhou.

I don’t know what the specific situation was at that time. Anyway, several young ladies and a group of maids and ladies waiting outside the room were surprised to see Mrs. Zhou tremblingly sending Prince Jing outside the door. They were so frightened that they hurried forward to help him. At that time, Mrs. Zhou's face, which looked extremely haggard due to the lack of makeup during her illness, actually smiled. Then she looked at Shen Fu with a look of relief and said:

"Afu, my aunt believes in you!"
