After lunch, Shen Tianshu took Shen Yunhui, Guo Xintong and Song Rongqian, who had joined him, and walked north.
"I asked people to clean it up early. We went over to drink tea and talk. When we are tired, we can write for a while. It is much more comfortable than hanging out with other people."
There is a lake to the north of Mingshui Garden. Living water is brought in from outside, so it is very clean.
In addition to building a waterside pavilion by the lake, the original owner also built an island in the middle of the lake, connected to the shore only by a covered bridge.
There is a small two-story building on the island, named Tanyingxuan, which is surrounded by water and is a very clean place.
Yesterday, Shen Tianshu arranged for people to clean and rearrange Tanyingxuan. Today, he asked Mi'er and Rui'er to guard it and not let others in. It was intended to be used to entertain Guo Xintong.
I just didn't expect that Song Rongqian would come over to me just after eating.
Shen Tianshu noticed that she was uncomfortable following Mrs. Cheng and did not refuse, so the threesome turned into a foursome.
The four of them arrived at Tanyingxuan and drank tea and talked for a while. Seeing that everyone looked a little sleepy, Shen Tianshu arranged for everyone to rest on the second floor.
After the three people had settled down, she was just about to take a rest when Mi'er came up with a nervous look on her face and whispered: "Girl, I just heard outside that someone broke into the Magnolia Hall without permission and disturbed the prince's rest. "
Shen Tianshu had just laid down, and when he heard this, he sat up and frowned: "Who did you listen to? Is the news true?"
This is no small matter. If word spreads, it may not have any impact on Li Zian. It is just one more romantic affair, but it may have a very bad impact on the reputation of the Shen family.
Maybe some people will think that the Shen family is deliberately looking for an opportunity to get into the golden lap of Prince Rui's palace by relying on such unattractive things.
"I heard this from the sweeper at Magnolia Hall, so she must be right." Mi'er said, "I heard it's a girl from the Zhu family, and she's already causing trouble."
"Which Zhu family?" Shen Tianshu thought for a moment, but he didn't expect that there was any official named Zhu in the government office.
"It's the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Zhu Guanbin and the president's family." Mingyu knew it clearly, so he whispered in Shen Tianshu's ear, "Didn't the girl find out before that my wife had close money exchanges with his family, so I asked someone to Would you like to watch more?"
Minghui also said: "I heard someone mention it in the garden today that the girl from the Zhu family is named Yueying, and she is quite pretty.
When the prince was talking to the girl before, I saw Mrs. Zhu and Miss Zhu approaching. It can be seen that they must have an ulterior purpose in coming to Mingshui Garden this time. "
The more Shen Tianshu listened, the darker his face became. Xu really didn't want to paint anymore.
President of the Chamber of Commerce, how did you get the invitation to today's banquet?
Needless to say, Xu must have sold the favor.
It seems that if something happens, the blame can easily be placed on himself.
"It really won't leave anyone idle for a while." Shen Tianshu said and stood up, "Let's go over and have a look!"
Mingyu and Minghui hurriedly helped her tidy up her clothes and followed her out the door.
Tanyingxuan and Yulan Hall are not far apart. Even if Shen Tianshu didn't know the shortcut inside the rockery, it didn't take him long to reach the backyard of Yulan Hall.
But the strange thing is that it was very quiet all the way here, and there was no sound in the Magnolia Hall.
Didn't you say there was a fuss?
Just when Shen Tianshu felt that something was wrong and was about to leave, he turned around and saw someone blocking his way out.
"Miss Shen, the prince has invited you."
Looking at the young secret guard who was dressed exactly the same as when he first met Xie Yan, Shen Tianshu couldn't help but shake his head.
She was afraid she was stupid just now, but she didn't expect that even if the Xu family didn't arrange for anyone to be on duty, there would be a lot of guards and secret guards around Li Zian, let alone Miss Zhu.
"Since there's nothing wrong, I won't disturb the prince's rest." Shen Tianshu said and turned around to leave.
The secret guards didn't dare to let her go, and they didn't dare to do anything to her, so they could only try their best to stand in front of her and not give her a chance to leave.
Shen Tianshu was angry and just about to break in when he heard Li Zian's voice coming from behind.
"Miss Shen, won't you even give me this little face?"
Seeing Li Zian appear, the secret guard stopping Shen Tianshu immediately saluted, but was dismissed by Li Zian with a wave of his hand.
Shen Tianshu lowered his eyes and said, "If the prince wants to see my daughter, he can just send someone to tell her about it. Why bother using such tricks in a roundabout way?"
"You are too courageous!" Li Zian frowned, "Not only that, you are also good at making opinions. It's just nonsense!"
"Those people in the city are a potential threat to both the people and my daughter's father. Now that the threat is gone, the prince can return home smoothly. Isn't that a great achievement?"
Li Zian's face darkened instantly when he heard this.
What does this mean?
"You really want me to leave? Are you wronged by giving me medicine?"
"The prince is joking. As a doctor, it is your duty to treat illnesses and save people. In the eyes of my daughter, patients are not distinguished by high or low, so there is no need to talk about grievances."
"Do you really have to talk to me like this?"
"Although patients are not distinguished by high or low status, people are distinguished by high and low status. Your Majesty..."
Li Zian finally couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed Shen Tianshu's wrist, pulled her in front of him, raised his hand to clasp her chin, and forced her to look at him.
Shen Tianshu was startled, put his elbow on Li Zian's chest, tried to distance himself from him and said: "Master, please let go..."
Instead of letting go, Li Zian increased the strength on his hand.
As he got closer, Shen Tianshu could smell the smell of alcohol on Li Zian's body and knew that he couldn't fight with a drunk person, otherwise he would definitely be the one to suffer.
Her attitude softened and she said: "Master, the injury on my shoulder is not healed yet, it hurts..."
Li Zian lowered his head and saw that her eyebrows were slightly furrowed and her long eyelashes were drooping, looking pitiful, and he finally slowly let go of his hand.
"It's been so many days, is the injury still not healed?" He said, looking at Shen Tianshu's shoulder, "The medicine you gave me was quite effective, did you use it yourself? Or is it that the injury was too severe? Already? "
Shen Tianshu was afraid that Li Zian would do anything again, so he hurriedly retreated a few steps: "I have already used the medicine, and it was almost healed, but I didn't expect that it would still hurt a little bit from the pulling."
"I was reckless just now..."
As soon as Li Zian spoke, he pursed his lips in annoyance and twisted his eyebrows into a knot, as if he was quite dissatisfied with the apology he blurted out.
Although he didn't drink too much at noon, he drank a little anxiously because he was depressed. When he came out and was blown by the wind, he immediately got drunk.
Shen Tianshu saw that he was very drunk today and was anxious to say goodbye: "Master, please go back and rest. I will ask someone to prepare sobering soup and bring it to you. If there is nothing to do, I will leave first."
She turned to leave, but Li Zian grabbed her other hand.
"Who says it's okay? Since I asked you to come over, it must be okay!"
