《Time Traveling: the Only Beloved Husband》 Chapter 1: When Shen Xiangyan opened the door and entered the room, he saw a little man with a red hijab sitting upright beside the bed. The little man was very nervous when he heard him coming in, and his little hands were tightly clutching his sleeves, saying that he was a little man. It is not an exaggeration at all, according to the memory of the original owner, the young husband married is named Xia Rong, who is only fourteen years old this year, and fourteen years old was still a child in the 21st century where he lived before. Shen Xiangyan had been an orphan in his previous life. After dropping out of high school because he had no money to continue his studies, he hired a master perfumer to learn perfumery. When I was thirty years old, I was considered to have a successful career. I opened a perfume studio and made perfumes and balms for the upper class. After many years of operation, I have gained a reputation. Everything was going well at first, but on the way back from a business trip, there was a car accident, and when he woke up, he had already become Shen Xiangyan of Fengyu Country in this time and space. When Shen Xiangyan woke up from this body, he was very lucky to have the memory of the original owner, otherwise he couldn''t have adapted to the ancient life so quickly. The name of this body is also Shen Xiangyan, but it has the same name as him. The Shen family where Shen Xiangyan lives can be said to be an ancestral perfume family. Unfortunately, it has been passed down from generation to generation. By the time his grandfather''s generation is no longer what it used to be, it has begun to decline. The original owner''s father went to the south to buy spices as usual the year before last. On the way back, he encountered bandits. He suffered heavy losses and was seriously injured. He died within a few days after arriving home. The mother of the original owner was also worried and became ill after the head of the family left. She passed away at the beginning of this year. The original owner was only seventeen years old this year. The departure of two close relatives made him unable to bear it for a while, so he fell ill. But this little husband was the original owner''s mother who was thinking about his marriage before going, and told him to get married as soon as possible so that she, as a mother, would have the face to go down to meet the Shen family''s ancestors. After all, the Shen family has always been a single family. She still regretted not seeing Shen Xiangyan stay. In fact, when the parents were still alive, it was not the married Shuang''er, but the Shuang''er''s older sister Xia Tian who was chosen for Shen Xiangyan. However, the Shen family has undergone tremendous changes in the past two years. It is rumored in the neighborhood that the Shen family man has fallen ill again, so it is really not a good match. . When Shen Xiangyan braced himself to take care of his mother''s loss, and was about to fulfill his mother''s last wish and go to the Xia family to ask for marriage, the Xia family felt sorry for her daughter and insisted that it was not his family''s legitimate daughter Xia Tian but the twins born by the servant. Er Xia Rong. This was undoubtedly the last straw that crushed Shen Xiangyan. In this time and space, apart from men and women, there are also people like Shuang''er who are no different from ordinary men. Shuang''er can get pregnant, but the chance of pregnancy is much lower than that of women. The status is far inferior to that of women, and the men here think that it is rare to marry Shuanger as their main wife. Speaking of the original owner, he couldn''t get sick after returning from Xia''s house until he woke up from this body half a month ago. Speaking of Shen Xiangyan, he is an out-and-out male-loving man, but whether he is emotionally clean or hypocritical, he just wants to find someone who can seriously and wholeheartedly live with him for the rest of his life, if not, he would rather not. Heterosexuality doesn''t necessarily start well and end well, not to mention that in the general environment where gays are not recognized by everyone, it is not difficult to imagine how difficult it is to find a true lover, so Shen Xiangyan was still a little virgin before his death. Xia Rong, who was sitting there, heard someone push the door and came in, her whole heart was raised. Is it his future husband? I don''t know if the husband will like him, and the nervous Xia Rong subconsciously tightened her cuffs. Hearing the footsteps stopped a few steps in front of her and stopped moving forward, Xia Rong''s heart sank slowly, she wouldn''t like it, no one would like it if she married a pair of children, right? The hand holding the cuff unconsciously exerted some force. What''s more, he was originally destined to be his own sister, and since he grew up so old, his mother and sister had never liked him, so he should not be liked by others. When Shen Xiangyan came out of his own thoughts, he found that the villain sitting there was about to tear his sleeves, so he took the Xi scale on the table in a funny way and walked a few steps to lift the covered hijab. He also thought a lot in the past few months. Now that he is married, he doesn''t mind taking good care of each other as long as he has the right personality. It is best to cultivate a relationship. He is thirty years old in his heart. He has been alone since he was a child, and he really wants to find someone together. It just happened to be a marriage made by God. The hijab embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns was lifted, revealing Xia Rong''s face, with big eyes, long eyelashes, fair skin, and a very delicate and clean appearance, but Shen Xiangyan still felt a little small in his heart. Might be prettier when older. Shen Xiangyan felt relieved. He thought about cultivating feelings before, but he was still afraid that the person he married would not see him right. He said that a man is an animal that thinks from the lower body. If the appearance is not acceptable to him, he doesn''t know what to do. Fortunately, Xia Rong unexpectedly fits his aesthetics, mainly because it gives people a very clean temperament, which makes him very fond of it. Xia Rong was a little embarrassed to be looked at by the future husband-in-law, but the husband-in-law looks really good-looking. Shen Xiangyan returned to the table, where there were still things that had been prepared for a cup of wine, he poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Xia Rong. "After drinking this cup of wine, you and I have officially become husband and wife. The bridal chamber will drink with you, and we will share joys and sorrows as husband and wife." Xia Rong took the glass of wine, and then the two of them clasped their wrists together and drank all the wine in the glass. Putting down the wine glass, Shen Xiangyan tied their hair in a knot, and then handed the knotted hair to Xia Rong with scissors. Watching Xia Rong carefully put the hair into the prepared purse, he took the hair on the table. The prepared dim sum plate was passed to Xia Rong. "You''re hungry if you haven''t eaten all day. I heard that the pastries in this shop are good. Have a few bites." The plate of dim sum was exquisite, Xia Rong carefully reached out and took the outermost piece, the taste of the dim sum melted in his mouth, it was filled with sweet-scented osmanthus, it was sweet and delicious. He only ate it when his father was still there when he was a child, and he only got a few yuan after the Chinese New Year. If his father was reluctant to eat it, he would leave it to him, but after his father left, he never ate such delicious food again. refreshments. Xia Rong''s eyes turned red unknowingly at the thought of his father who would use a very gentle song to lull him to sleep. The husband is a good man, and he will give him snacks. My father would be happy if he knew about it. Shen Xiangyan didn''t know how Xia Rong ate a snack and started to cry. Seeing that little face covered with tears, it was so painful, Shen Xiangyan asked in a gentle voice with rare patience. At first, Xia Rong refused to say anything, but after coaxing him at a loss for a while, he heard him speak intermittently. From Shen Xiangyan''s memory, he also knew that Xia Rong was not the son of Mrs. Xia''s wife, but a little waiter with two sons. Yes, there are not even a few snacks, and Xia Rong''s life at Xia''s house must not be much better. Shen Xiangyan caressed Xia Rong''s back lightly, like him to the Xia family, so deceptive, if little Xia Rong and the others don''t pamper them, then I will pamper them. Thinking of this, he suddenly shuddered, when did he regard Xia Rong as his own, laughed at himself in his heart for a while, and then he was relieved, since they have come to ancient times, the one who married is not his or someone else. Shen Xiangyan has a possessive desire in his bones, but he has never met anyone who can carry it out before, and now that Xia Rong is his person, he will not let others bully him. Coaxing Xia Rong to eat a few more pieces of dim sum, it was absurd to see him staring at the dim sum when he couldn''t finish it. He took away the snack plate and poured him a glass of water so that he wouldn''t feel too dry and uncomfortable after eating the snack. It''s not that he won''t eat it, but it''s not good to eat too much at night and accumulate food. Xia Rong was so embarrassing, did Mr. Xiang feel that he ate too much and disliked him? Spin around. Seeing him like that, Shen Xiangyan knew what he was thinking, and couldn''t help explaining a few words, "Okay, Rong''er, I will call you that in the future, okay, Rong''er will have snacks tomorrow, you should feel bad if you eat too much at once. Already." After speaking, he raised his hand and rubbed Xia Rong''s hair, "Okay, now I''m going to get some water and wash up, it''s getting late and we should go to bed." Chapter 2: Seeing that Xia Rong nodded in agreement to call him Rong''er, Shen Xiangyan was about to get up to fetch water, but before he could get up, Xia Rong grabbed him by the corner of his clothes. "Master, Rong''er can fetch water." His eyes were firm. Xia Rong often did these housework when he was in Xia''s house. If Xianggong knew that he could do the work, he wouldn''t mind if he ate too much. "I don''t need Rong''er for these. I will let my husband do this kind of work in the future. Rong''er, I just need to sit here and wait for my husband." Although it is autumn, the weather has just started to be cold after an autumn rain And how could he let Xia Rong do this at such a late hour. When Shen Xiangyan came in with water, Xia Rong was undoing the corolla from her hair in front of the dressing table. Seeing his hard work, Shen Xiangyan stepped forward to help him. Finally, when he smoothed Xia Rong''s hair with a wooden comb, he felt Xia Rong''s hair slipping through Shen Xiangyan''s fingertips. After the two of them washed up and went to bed, because the red candles could not be extinguished on the wedding night, Shen Xiangyan clearly saw a person who buried himself under the quilt with only the top of his hair exposed. Looking at the person under the quilt from a close distance, he still trembled slightly, Shen Xiangyan chuckled, he was still a child after all, he would be afraid to marry someone he had never met before. However, Shen Xiangyan didn''t want to be so unfamiliar on the first night of the wedding. After all, he wanted to come a little bit, so let''s start with hugging and sleeping. Thinking of this, Shen Xiangyan stretched out his hand to put Xia Rong in his arms, letting him lean against his arms Feeling the stiffness and coldness of the person in his arms, Shen Xiangyan frowned, and gently comforted him with his hands around his back, and then covered him tightly with the quilt. "Rong''er, tell me about Dad." "Dad, Rong''er was still young when Dad left, and Rong''er only remembered that Dad could draw beautiful pictures and tell Rong''er stories, Dad was so gentle and gentle." "That''s right, then Mr. Xiang will also tell you stories in the future, okay?" "Really?" "Really." Looking down, he saw Xia Rong''s eyes shining brightly. Shen Xiangyan had never been stared at like this before. He kissed those beautiful eyes as if fascinated. After the kiss, he coughed lightly and slowly talked about Snow White. The story is just an adaptation of Snow White, the princess has become twins, the prince is still a prince, and of course they are happy together in the end. Feeling the slowly relaxing body of the person in his arms, Shen Xiangyan knew that he was telling the right story. After the story was finished, Xia Rong was about to fall asleep. Shen Xiangyan looked at the burning of the red candle, and then adjusted the position so that Xia Rong could sleep in his arms more comfortably. It''s a little bit, and he murmured softly "Go to sleep" and fell asleep with someone in his arms. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Xia Rong woke up in Shen Xiangyan''s arms early the next morning, thinking of her husband''s gentle kiss last night, Xia Rong blushed a little embarrassed for some reason. In fact, before Xia Rong got married, only his mother casually threw him a little book like pre-marital **** education, and didn''t tell him what it was. Xia Rong had little contact with people since he was a child, and his temperament was simple. He hid the book in the bottom of the box in shock after reading the first page, and didn''t even read it. So Xia Rong is still ignorant about the bridal chamber until now. Shen Xiangyan He didn''t want him last night, so naturally he didn''t feel anything wrong. Shen Xiangyan had actually woken up early, he had the habit of getting up early, but he didn''t dare to move around for fear of disturbing the person in his arms, but what he didn''t expect was that this villain would wake up so early. Seeing that Xia Rong had no intention of continuing to sleep, the two washed up and got up. Shen Xiangyan''s house is a small courtyard with two entrances that is not too big. The first entrance is the outer courtyard, which is only half the size of an ordinary courtyard and can only be used to entertain guests. Where they live now, apart from the kitchen, the east wing is a study room, and the west wing has been converted into an incense room by him. There are most of the common spices in it. These are left over from the family''s previous incense making business, but since Shen''s father passed away and Shen''s mother was seriously ill, so there was no one in the family to take care of the business, and the small shop left by Shen''s father had already closed down. After Shen Xiangyan woke up in this body, he was ready to continue the incense making business. He believed that his skills and the incense making recipes he mastered would surely allow him and Rong''er to live a good life. He cooked the breakfast, simple vegetable porridge with lean meat and a few delicious side dishes. The taste of Shen Xiangyan''s cooking is still good. After all, he has always lived alone in the original world, so it is impossible to eat outside all the time. It has been a long time Learn to fire yourself. Seeing Xia Rong eating his food deliciously, Shen Xiangyan smiled inwardly, it seems that he really married a snack guy. "After dinner in a while, Rong''er and I will go out together. We need to buy some things at home. Rong''er will also think about what he needs, and my husband will also buy it for you." Xia Rong only brought a box when she came in. Things, Shen Xiangyan took a rough look at the things when he opened them this morning. There were only a few old clothes and some odds and ends, which should be some clothes and jewelry for him. The saving needs to be saved, but he doesn''t want Xia Rong to be wronged by him, and besides, he is going to reopen the family shop, and money will always be earned. "Can Rong''er go to the streets with my husband? Rong''er doesn''t lack anything, and she doesn''t need to buy anything." With twinkling eyes, she looked like a puppy coquettish with her master. As for the second street, when they heard that Shen Xiangyan wanted to take him there, they naturally reacted violently. "Of course we can. Let''s go together later." As for what Xia Rong said was not lacking, he chose to ignore it. After eating and resting for a while, Shen Xiangyan led Xia Rong to the market area of ??the town, and bought two catties of pork, one catty of beef, one crucian carp and fifty eggs, and rice noodles at home. Buy these back. I also wanted to nourish Xia Rong''s body, I could feel his bones while holding him last night, he was still too thin. Seeing a shop selling cakes in front of him, he remembered that Xia Rong liked to eat them, so he took him to buy a few and asked the store to wrap them in oiled paper. Afterwards, he took Xia Rong to Jinxiufang, the best clothes seller in the town, and bought two sets of ready-made clothes for Xia Rong, one in light yellow and one in blue. The old tailor in the village measured Xia Rong''s figure, decided on the style of clothes, and asked the tailor to make some warmer clothes for out-of-season wear, and agreed to pick them up in two days. Originally, he wanted to buy some underwear for Xia Rong, but with a blushing face, Xia Rong tugged at his sleeve and said that he could do it himself. Shen Xiangyan didn''t expect Xia Rong to be so virtuous and could make clothes , I bought two more plain-colored but nice-to-hand fabrics for Xia Rong to make by herself. In fact, Xia Rong''s needlework wasn''t particularly good, but Xia Rong was too shy to ask her husband, who had only been together for more than a day, to buy him close-fitting clothes, so she offered to say that she could do it. After buying these, Shen Xiangyan took Xia Rong to the place where the government is in charge of the population trading. Fengyu Country''s population trading is all intermediary by the government, so you can feel more at ease buying people from here. Shen Xiangyan wanted to buy someone to help him look after the shop. Although it is okay to hire a worker, the person who bought it should be at ease. After counting the money left in his hand, he spent about a tael of silver on food just now. It cost six taels to buy clothes and fabrics for Xia Rong. It may be more expensive to buy someone who can write and do simple accounts, but twenty taels is enough, and the remaining money can support his recent turnover. In the end, Shen Xiangyan picked a 20-year-old man, who seemed to be quite honest. They were all sold, and Shen Xiangyan took over his contract of sale, and changed his name to Shen An. Afterwards, he led the way to the Shen family''s shop. The shop had been closed for nearly a year. The shop was not big, but the location was good. The shop was divided into three rooms by the inside and outside. Greet ordinary guests, if there are distinguished guests, you can still use the inner room to entertain guests, and the other room can be tidied up for Shen An temporarily. He had already tidied up the shop briefly before, and now he needed Shen An to see what he needed and buy it briefly. Shen Xiangyan also told Shen An to come to the house tomorrow to pick up some fragrant pills, fragrant cakes, etc. that he had recently prepared, and left Shen An two taels of silver for him to solve by himself. After finishing these things, it was almost noon, and Xia Rong was tired after following him around for such a morning, so she dragged him home at a faster pace. On the way back, he saw a seller of candied haws, Shen Xiangyan saw Xia Rong glanced at the candied haws seller, then smiled and led him over there. "How do you sell candied haws?" "This young master, two cents apiece, buy one for your husband." "Then get one." Shen Xiangyan paid the money, and chose a particularly large hawthorn, which was dipped in the most sugar, and handed it to Xia Rong. Xia Rong took the candied haws, lowered her head, and couldn''t help feeling annoyed at whether she had acted too obviously just now. Before she got married, she heard from her mother and father that the Xianggong''s family is not as good as before. Today, she bought someone and spent so much money on herself. Don''t buy these if you ask your husband. "What''s the matter, Rong''er, why didn''t you eat it?" Shen Xiangyan asked after seeing Xia Rong took the candied haws and didn''t eat them for a long time, with an obviously preoccupied look. "Sanggong, when I was a child, I heard from my father that it is better to be frugal in life, that next time I don''t need to buy so many things for Rong''er..." Xia Rong thought for a while, but she still had the courage to speak out her thoughts. "Oh, my little husband is actually so virtuous, and he will definitely be a good family in the future, Enen, but don''t worry, it will be fine for me to raise you as your husband-in-law." Speaking of which, she reached out and tapped Xia Rong''s little nose, "Let''s leave it to the husband to make money and support the family. Rong''er doesn''t have to worry." Rong''er was afraid that the family would run out of money. Seeing the villain''s courage and courage, she looked at him worriedly after saying this, Shen Xiangyan stretched out her hand I touched my nose, and for some reason I thought it was really cute. Taking the little husband back home, Shen Xiangyan was going to make braised crucian carp in braised sauce, boiled beef, and a cold salad with three shreds, tomato and egg drop soup with white rice. The little husband would definitely like it. Seeing that Xianggong was going to cook in the kitchen again, Xia Rong hurriedly expressed the idea that she could do it and let Xianggong go to rest, but Shen Xiangyan refused. But at Xia Rong''s insistence, Shen Xiangyan still agreed to let him fight. Well, in the end, we Xia Rong was assigned to set the dishes and try food. Of course, he was not allowed to serve the plates with hot dishes. Shen Xiangyan was afraid that he would accidentally burn his hands, so he directly served them on the table first. Chapter 3: The meal was delicious, but contrary to Shen Xiangyan''s expectation, Xia Rong didn''t eat much fish. Later, under his questioning, Xia Rong blushed and whispered that she had been stabbed by a fishbone when she was a child , I don¡¯t eat fish much. After hearing this, Shen Xiangyan picked the fattest part of the fish and picked out the fishbone carefully and put it into Xia Rong''s bowl. While eating, I thought about it. The nutrition of the fish is quite high. I don¡¯t know if you can buy sea fish in Furong Town. Some sea fish don¡¯t have very thin bones. If there are, Xia Rong doesn¡¯t have to worry about being stabbed. And the taste of sea fish is also more delicious. But it seems that it is quite far from the sea here, even if the things in the sea can be transported, I don''t know whether it is fresh or not. Looking at the extra fish in the bowl, Xia Rong felt warm in her heart, her husband is so gentle and kind to Rong''er. Why don''t you want such a good husband and wife? But now Xianggong belongs to me, yes, it belongs to me, thinking that Xia Rong suddenly startled me, I feel wronged that Xianggong married Shuang''er, even if he doesn''t know the world, he also knows Feng Yuguo It''s normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Let''s say his father has a concubine besides father. If the husband has someone else in the future, won''t he be so kind to Rong''er. I really hope that Xianggong can belong to me alone, and I am only good to myself. From this moment on, a small sprout called "May Xianggong belong to him alone" slowly grew in Xia Rong''s heart. Knowing Xia Rong''s changes in her mind, she was happy to see the results, and even wished that this little bud would be pulled back to grow. After the two of them finished their meal, Shen Xiangyan was going to the West Wing to sort out the Xiangwan, Xiangbing and other things that he was going to take to the store tomorrow. Most of these were made before Xia Rong came here a while ago. Shen Xiangyan also spent a lot of effort, all of them were packed in exquisite wooden boxes and silver boxes of different sizes, and now he only needs to gather them together for the convenience of taking them tomorrow, so these will not take much time. This afternoon, he is mainly here to make a perfume called Yuanyue with an elegant taste. The materials have been prepared before, including alcohol, rosewood, orange blossom, lemongrass, cedar, etc. These materials need to be mixed in a certain proportion and order Make a blend, put it into a pre-prepared delicate white porcelain bottle, and let it stand for one night. The formula of this perfume is actually very simple, mainly because of the control of the ratio of materials and the order of addition during the preparation process. For him, these are naturally not difficult, but for Feng Yuguo who has no concept of perfume, the listing of Yuanyue will definitely bring Shen Xiangyan a good reward. Xia Rong, who came in with Shen Xiangyan, has been full of curiosity ever since she entered this fragrance room, secretly sniffing one thing for another, and sniffing that one for a while, each one is different, but they all smell equally good. When he came back after wandering around for a short distance and saw Shen Xiangyan mixing the perfume, he was unconsciously fascinated by his husband''s concentration. Xia Rong didn''t know that men who worked hard were the most charming, so he just felt that the husband at this time very attractive. Shen Xiangyan turned his head to see Xia Rong staring at him stupidly, and asked him if he wanted to learn how to mix incense with himself, and when Xia Rong nodded, he dragged him to explain to him, Xia Rong is quite savvy, as Shen Xiangyan said It is understandable that the husband and wife have been busy all afternoon and finally come to an end. That night when Xia Rong returned to the room after bathing, she found it was warm. She looked around and saw a charcoal basin in the corner, which was still burning high-quality silver silk charcoal without soot. The two of them told the daily stories on the bed Sleeping, but Xia Rong''s body is not as cold as yesterday. If you want to say that Shen Xiangyan can really treat a person in every possible way, and from today until many years to come, Xia Rong has personally experienced Shen Xiangyan''s kindness one by one. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª On the second day, Shen Xiangyan brought Shen An, who came early to pick up incense, and set off two firecrackers at the entrance of the store. The red silk on the plaque with "Xiang Zilai" is considered the opening ceremony of the store. The store had just opened, and Shen Xiangyan had been busy for a while. Seeing that Shen An was getting used to it, he became a hands-off shopkeeper and went home. He was worried about leaving the little husband alone at home for too long. On the way back, he saw an old lady selling a lot of lop-eared rabbits in a cage. Shen Xiangyan had already walked over, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that those lop-eared rabbits were somewhat similar to his husband, so he went back to pick them. Two, one pure white and one with gray ears let the aunt put them in a small bamboo cage, thinking that Xiao Rong''er would be very happy to see these two rabbits, so she also bent her mouth. As soon as he walked to the door of the house with the bamboo cage containing the rabbit, he saw a middle-aged man in an indigo shirt and a young man about his own age. He was about to knock on the door of his own courtyard. According to the search in memory, this person seems to be Shen''s father''s former friend. "It''s Uncle Li, the boy is Xiangyan." After confirming that it should be Li Ziming, Shen''s father''s good friend, Shen Xiangyan quickly stepped forward and gave a junior salute. It is said that the whole family moved away to do business, and because of this, the two have not been in touch for a long time. "It''s Xiangyan. He''s grown up so much. Alas, it''s uncle''s fault. I didn''t come to see your father after so long." He introduced the young man who was following him to Shen Xiangyan, "This is my son Li Dongsheng, You also saw it when you were young." Shen Xiangyan and Li Dongsheng greeted each other, and said, "Father won''t blame Uncle Li if he knows. I''m very grateful for you to come today. Uncle Li, brother Dongsheng, let''s stop standing at the door and go in." "After speaking, he led the two into the house. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw a pale yellow figure standing in the yard, and when he saw Shen Xiangyan coming in, he was overjoyed to step forward, "Master, you are back." Shen Xiangyan didn''t know how to describe this feeling, there was a person waiting for him at home , It is no longer a house where only he lives alone, but also a house where someone will wait for him to go back. Since Shen Xiangyan went out, Xia Rong has been paying attention to the movement at the door from time to time, waiting for Shen Xiangyan to come back. But just as he was about to go forward, he saw other people behind Shen Xiangyan, Xia Rong grabbed his sleeves in embarrassment and didn''t know what to do for a while. Seeing his bewildered look, Shen Xiangyan amusedly introduced the two behind him, "This is my husband, Xia Rong, and these two are Uncle Li and his son Brother Dongsheng." Xia Rong saluted like the two of them, and hid behind the husband. Shen Xiangyan rumpled his hair, and handed him the cage containing the bunny, "No, I bought it for you, carry it to the back to play." In fact, as soon as Shen Xiangyan entered the door, he saw the little rabbit being carried, but he was not sure if it was for him. Xia Rong was very happy after taking the small bamboo cage, and forgot the embarrassment just now, and was happy with his husband''s approval. Went away with the bunny. After Xia Rong left, the three of them entered the main room in the front yard. Li Ziming drank the tea in the teacup and sighed, "Who would have thought that brother Shen left so early, I should have come back earlier, otherwise the Xia family would not be able to bully you." There is only one person and no one is in charge, this matter is wrong with the Xia family, and uncle will help you get justice later." "The fact that the Xia family bullied me is also normal in the world. The boy also wants to thank them for sending Xia Rong. Xia Rong is very good, and I like it very much." "Oh, no matter how good you are, you are Shuang''er, and you have been wronged by this matter." "Since I married Xia Rong, and Xia Rong agrees with me, it doesn''t matter to me whether he is a Shuanger or not." Shen Xiangyan knew that he and the people here still had some differences in concepts, so he was not much concerned. What did you say, "Did uncle move back to Furong Town?" "Yeah, I still want to return to my roots when I''m old. It''s not that our family just moved back. It just so happens that I can take care of you for Brother Shen after your parents are gone. Dongsheng is about the same age as you, so you can also be a companion in the future." "The kid will have to bother uncle and brother Dongsheng to take care of anything in the future. As a junior, I don''t understand many things very well." After speaking, Shen Xiangyan got up and saluted Li Ziming and Li Dongsheng. He is also beneficial, after all, he is a newcomer, and he can avoid a lot of trouble with the advice of an elder, so he did this ceremony willingly. The three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries, and the Li family father and son took their leave and left. Shen Xiangyan originally wanted to keep them for dinner, but they had other matters to refuse. The Li family father and son also brought some high-quality tea leaves when they came to the door this time, Shen Xiangyan put them away, and hurried to find his little husband. God knows that seeing Rong''er in a light yellow dress just now felt like being scratched by a cat''s paw. When I arrived at the main room, I saw Xia Rong was squatting on the ground and having fun with two little rabbits. When Xia Rong saw him come back, she hurriedly stood up and pulled his sleeve, "Sir, sir, look at Xiao Bai and Xiao Hui, they so cute." Xiao Bai, Xiao Hui, the names are really straightforward. With Xia Rong''s help, Shen Xiangyan built a simple rabbit nest for the two little rabbits in the yard, and then looked at his little husband and little rabbits from the sidelines. bunny playing. People really need clothes. The goose yellow clothes look like a big fluffy rabbit on the little husband. They are so cute, but they are a little thin. It seems that he has to work harder to make Rong''er fat. Chapter 4: This was Xia Rong''s seventh day of marriage. When he woke up, he found that his husband was still awake. Xia Rong gently moved Shen Xiangyan''s arm around his waist away. Xianggong really has this habit, every time he hugs him to sleep, if he turns over and breaks free at night, Xianggong will reach out to pick him up even if he is asleep. After sleeping like this for a few days, he gradually got used to his husband''s embrace, and it was sweet to sleep in his embrace. However, every time he opened his eyes in the morning, Xianggong was already awake. Finally, he woke up early today. Seeing Xianggong''s nose fluttering slightly with his breathing in his sleep, Xia Rong pinched Xianggong''s nose with a mischievous hand. . In the past few days, Xia Rong has almost figured out the person he married, and he is always very gentle and doting on him. This made him, who had lived in Xia''s family since he was a child but had no sense of existence, gradually become more courageous. Well, at present, he is only limited to carrying out his little mischief on Shen Xiangyan. Shen Xiangyan felt short of breath in his sleep, and felt a pair of small hands pinching his nose when he was awake. However, he was also willing to cooperate with Xia Rong''s prank and showed that he was suffering from shortness of breath, but Xia Rong, who made the prank, let go first. "Is Rong''er trying to murder her husband this early in the morning? Hmm?" Her voice was still **** and hoarse when she opened her voice early in the morning. Xia Rong buried her face in his chest, as if I was pretending to be dead, what can you do with me, Shen Xiangyan is simply too amused by him as the culprit, and he really can''t do anything with him. But this little rabbit doesn''t care, and he won''t be able to go to heaven in the future. Shen Xiangyan raised his little husband''s little face, seeing his shy look of being caught doing something bad, suddenly wanted to kiss him, and he really kissed those soft lips according to his heart. Xia Rong was taken aback by the sudden kiss, his cat eyes widened, but before he could react, he was dazzled by the slippery tongue protruding in, and Shen Xiangyan sucked the other''s soft and waxy lips. Lips, softly comforting "Baby, don''t be afraid, close your eyes." Although it was Shen Xiangyan''s first time kissing someone, men are always inexplicably talented in such matters. She clasped the back of the young husband''s head with one hand, wrapped her arms around the slender waist with the other, and did not let go of her mouth at all. The tip of her tongue bit into the other''s mouth. He purposely found the scent of milk to replenish Xia Rong''s body. Soon he came back to his senses, hooked the uvula that was still about to flinch, and licked and teased lightly. Shen Xiangyan''s kiss was not as gentle and harmless as he had always shown in front of Xia Rong, but full of tenderness between his lips and tongue. Domineering possessiveness. Feeling that the person in his arms lost strength a little bit because of this kiss, Shen Xiangyan''s hand on Xia Rong''s waist tightened a bit more, and gradually deepened the kiss, until Xia Rong couldn''t breathe and her little face turned red, he didn''t let go he. Xia Rong, who was finally let go, gasped heavily, her chest heaved violently, and her cat eyes were blurred by the kiss just now. "Next time my husband kisses you, remember to breathe, you know?" Seeing Xia Rong blushing, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t bear to continue teasing him. Looking at Xia Rong who was dazed by the kiss just now, he loved and felt distressed in his heart, so he stepped forward and hugged Xia Rong into his arms, comforting him softly, "Are you shy? Why are you ashamed to be with your husband?" , Good boy, there will be more such things in the future..." Coaxed by Shen Xiangyan''s gentle words, Xia Rong''s shyness was relieved a little bit, and she trembled in the man''s arms and called "Mr. When both of them calmed down, Shen Xiangyan personally picked up the clothes on the side and waited for the little husband to change. Xia Rong was also very obedient, stretching out his hand when asked, and getting up when asked to get up, Shen Xiangyan dressed Xia Rong contentedly. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª These few days, the business of Xiang Zilai has been very good. With Shen Xiangyan making incense alone, even with Xia Rong helping him, the supply began to exceed the demand. Firstly, it is Shen Xiangyan who made the fragrance, the fragrance is positive, the fragrance lasts for a long time, and the formula is wonderful. The second is that Xiangzilai¡¯s incense dares to ask for a price and the packaging has a big advantage. The fragrant pills and fragrant cakes in the carved wooden box cost one tael of silver, the carved silver box cost five taels of silver, and the perfume in the white porcelain bottle even asked for twenty taels of silver. Also in short supply. Throughout the ages, women''s money is the best to earn, and this thing is getting more and more mysterious. This group of women and Shuang''er who think they are rich are even cheaper. For the time being, Shen Xiangyan has no intention of recruiting people to speed up the production of fragrances. Instead, after three days of opening, the perfumes began to be supplied in limited quantities. He believes that people who buy perfume will always take it out and use it. When the number of people who can''t buy it increases, the brand of Xiangzilai will become more famous. This is a hunger marketing model that many people in modern times know. Last night, Shen An sent in the income from the past few days of opening, a total of 500 taels, here mainly 16 bottles of perfume, a total of 320 taels, accounted for the majority. Making incense is a huge profit business, and he has a lot of money after taking into account the cost. Eighty percent of them are making a profit. After getting the money, Shen Xiangyan also gained some confidence. He wanted to buy someone to take care of his husband. During this period of time, he was probably busy mixing incense, and Xia Rong took care of most of the housework, okay? He is also helpful, but every time the little husband dislikes him and says that the more he helps, the more he helps... Besides, if he goes out with one or two personal servants, he can feel at ease leaving the little husband at home by himself. Shen Xiangyan led Xia Rong to Guan Ya''s place, and after saying the request, Guan Ya''s people brought over twenty eleven or twelve-year-old maids and Shuang''er, and looked at the rows of people, after all, they were To pick someone for Xia Rong, Shen Xiangyan asked Xia Rong to go down and pick two by himself. Xia Rong finally stood in front of a pair of twins. The pair looked pretty good, but what was rare was that they were almost identical. It was probably the first time Xia Rong saw someone who looked the same, so she pulled Shen Xiangyan by the sleeve and used a black Looking at him with big watery eyes like grapes, Shen Xiangyan asked knowingly, "Does Rong''er want these two?" Seeing Xia Rong nodding, Shen Xiangyan asked Xia Rong a few words, "What''s your name, how old are you, would you like to go with them?" and so on. The two twins looked at each other and said yes excitedly. The older one saluted and replied, "Little He Xin, this is my younger brother He Miao. We are both eleven years old." In this case, if you miss this opportunity, you may be sold to a brothel. After all, twins with the same appearance are still very attractive, so the two of them will be miserable. Now that the couple is willing to buy them, they are naturally willing, but someone said they would buy them before, but after hearing the price, they all bought others. Normally, a Shuang''er of this size would only cost five taels of silver, but the two of them added up to twenty-five taels of silver. Shen Xiangyan didn''t say anything after hearing this, and happily paid the money, as long as Rong''er likes it. Seeing that Shen Xiangyan was really willing to pay for them, the two twins quickly gave them a big gift to thank them for their kindness. Shen Xiangyan pulled Xia Rong to accept the gift from the two of them, and told him that as long as he served Zhengjun well, he would repay him. Before leaving, Shen Xiangyan gave Guanya''s man fifty Wen, and asked him to help him find out if there were any more exquisite yards for sale in the town. The second courtyard they live in now is not a solution, it''s still a bit small. What''s more, if Shen Xiangyan has money in his hand, if he finds a suitable one, he will consider moving. Chapter 5: Since the family had two servants, Xia Rong became idle. In the past, he could still wash clothes and tidy up the room, but this time, if he wanted to do it, he would be preempted by the two servants. Xia Rong now eats and sleeps besides playing with the little rabbit every day, well, his snacks are also controlled by his husband, and the snacks are limited every day. He really didn''t do it on purpose before, who said dim sum is so delicious, he accidentally ate too much, and he couldn''t eat it when it was time to eat, and was caught by the husband. Since then, he has to listen to his arrangement for the amount of snacks every day. Xia Rong raised her head and looked at He Miao standing beside her with watery eyes without blinking. He Xin and He Miao were two people. He Xin was more powerful, while He Miao was gentle and easy to talk. He Miao, who was looked at by the master like this, shook his head helplessly and said, "Zhengjun, you have all the food for today, the young master won''t let you eat more, and the servants can''t help it either." Xia Rong blinked and didn''t look at He Miao, alas, he said before that he could eat as much as he wanted, and my husband must have disliked him for eating too much. Looking at the last piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake left on the plate, Xia Rong licked her lips pitifully, then looked at the sky, there was still a whole afternoon, so let''s wait and eat. When Shen Xiangyan came out of the fragrance room, he saw Xia Rong lazily sitting in the yard basking in the sun. He also knew that the little guy had been bored for the past two days, and being restricted by him in eating, it must be uncomfortable. But who told this greedy ghost to be unable to control himself? You can eat snacks, but how can you not eat well if you don''t eat snacks. After thinking about it, Shen Xiangyan went to the study room. He asked Xia Rong before and learned that his father taught him to write when he was there, but his father left early, and Xia Rong only learned part of it. There are still many characters that he can''t understand. . Because Shen Xiangyan has the memory of the original owner, and Feng Yuguo''s writing is the same as traditional Chinese, so he can understand the writing, it''s just that it doesn''t look good when written. Shen Xiangyan took a book about Fengyu Country''s customs and customs, and a few more scripts, went back to the yard, picked Xia Rong up and sat him on his lap, and began to read to him. It just so happened that he had read it himself, and by the way, he could teach Xia Rong some words he didn''t know. Well, he wouldn''t admit that he was eating silken tofu in a bright light. Xia Rong is very light, so it doesn''t hurt to sit on him for a long time. Moreover, after spending time with her for a long time, Xia Rong also acquired the smell of him. It is very light, and the scent of white orchids can only be smelled when you are very close. This is a scent that you have used in your previous life. What excites him is the feeling of dyeing another person with his own scent. The feeling of eroding another person a little bit made Shen Xiangyan really want to stop. The two enjoyed a rare afternoon. Although they couldn''t eat too many snacks, there was herbal tea specially made for him by the husband. A white porcelain pot was placed on a small shelf, and a small candle was used to heat it under it, so that drinking would be guaranteed. The tea is always hot. In addition, Xia Rong felt very satisfied with his husband reading to him. In Xia Rong''s little life, only the few days when he married Shen Xiangyan were his happiest days. Shen Xiangyan still cooked the dinner for the evening, but He Xin had already helped to complete the preparations in advance, which greatly reduced his cooking time. Shen Xiangyan is actually a very practical person. The life in the orphanage when he was a child and his own ups and downs in the society later made his heart not so hard-hearted, and his appearance is gentle and polite. It is just a layer of skin to adapt to survival. Therefore, even if he came to this time and space suddenly, he could still adapt to the life here, instead of doing stupid things, talking about the equality of everyone in his life after buying someone. Even in his era, everyone was not really equal, let alone here. And there are very important prerequisites for Xia Rong to be able to walk into his heart so easily. First of all, he was married to him. In Fengyu Country, a place similar to the ancient Hua Country, a woman and her husband''s family are equivalent to marrying each other. It is not for nothing that he is from the husband''s family, and his death is the ghost of the husband''s family. From this point of view, it was easy for Shen Xiangyan to immediately put Xia Rong in his own territory. In addition, although Shen Xiangyan has never loved anyone, Xia Rong herself is indeed the type that Shen Xiangyan would like. She is simple and warm, and she will not be clouded by the injustice of her past life. Such a beautiful sunshine, and these are also Shen Xiangyan. something long lost. Holding Xia Rong in his arms, Shen Xiangyan thought that he would do his best to pamper and love him, so that those things he had lost long ago could live on Xia Rong forever. For dinner, Shen Xiangyan made four dishes of spicy tofu, vinegared cabbage, sweet and sour pork ribs, Kung Pao chicken, and of course the fish soup that he had been cooking since morning. Anything, boiled over a slow fire for a whole day, he specially made it for Xia Rong. Seeing Xia Rong drank half a bowl of milky white fish soup, he handed him the chopsticks with satisfaction. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª After dinner and after serving the two masters to sleep, He Miao lay on the bed and leaned against his elder brother who was lying next to him, "Young master is so kind to Zhengjun, I have never seen anyone dote on your husband so much. " "Well, but who doesn''t have three wives and four concubines? It looks good now, but I don''t know how many years this situation can last. Alas, a person with such a soft personality like Zhengjun doesn''t know what to do when the time comes." Xin always thinks more than his younger brother. "Young master dotes on Zhengjun so much, maybe he won''t take concubines in the future." Although He Miao said so, he also knew that it was impossible. Now that Xiangzilai''s business is so good, it is he, this servant. Everyone knows, and even thinking about it, they also know how prosperous the Shen family will be in the future, and how likely it is that the young master will not take concubines. "Looking at how the young master loves the Lord so much, I think these things won''t happen in a short time. Alas, even if the time comes, the young master will remember the friendship of the past few years, so that no one will bully Zhengjun. Anyway, Zhengjun treats us You two are so good, we just need to serve Zhengjun well with our heart." Before falling asleep, He Miao thought, it would be great if Zhengjun could conceive a child sooner, but unfortunately, as twins, the chance of pregnancy is much lower than that of a woman, alas. At the moment, Xia Rong, who is sleeping in Xianggong''s arms, is of course unaware that the two servants at home are worrying about his future. However, Shen Xiangyan''s worry was not a problem at all, because he would only have Xia Rong as a wife in his life, and it was too late for him to love Xia Rong, so how could he bring someone in to find trouble for Xia Rong. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª In this way, a month passed in a blink of an eye, and this day was the day when Xia Rong returned home. It is a custom in Fengyu country that a woman''s twin sons go back to their natal family to visit relatives one month after they get married. On this day, the husband and wife not only have to pay homage to the woman''s parents, but also bring home gifts. Shen Xiangyan had already arranged the homecoming ceremony. Although he didn''t like Xia''s family, this was Xia Rong''s homecoming ceremony after all, and he didn''t want people to look down on Xia Rong. In addition to preparing a rooster according to the custom, which means "good luck", various meat, fish, wine, wedding candy, wedding cakes, silk cloth are also prepared for the return ceremony. cakes, and even brought two bottles of perfume that was hard to find outside. These homecoming gifts were even numbers, and they were wrapped in red paper to predict that the husband and wife would be a couple, a good marriage for a hundred years. A few days ago, Shen Xiangyan had someone build a carriage according to his requirements. It looked nothing out of the ordinary except that it was a little bigger than ordinary carriages, but inside it was much more comfortable than ordinary carriages. This was Shen Xiangyan''s hired carriage once before, it''s hard to describe the feeling of sitting in it. Later, I had no choice but to prepare one myself. I think the carriage is almost the same as a modern car, and it can be used for a long time, so it is not a waste. Shen Xiangyan and the two servants packed all the homecoming gifts they had prepared into the carriage, and then the four of them went to Xia''s house together. The Xia family is in the silk business, but since this business was handed over to Xia''s father Xia Xueliang, it has been getting worse day by day. Mrs. Xia Li Lanzhi was born in the Li family in Gusu, and she is the youngest daughter of the Li family. There was a high-ranking official in the ancestors, and he is still considered a scholarly family. This is also the most important reason why Shen''s father made this marriage for Shen Xiangyan back then. Shen''s father originally thought that the daughter who was taught by a woman from a scholarly family would not be too bad. Unfortunately, Shen''s father never thought that he would go After that, the Xia family was so deceptive. Shen Xiangyan felt that there might be something good about the daughter of the Xia family. After all, the Xia family must have leaked this matter of marriage to some extent from this Xia Tian. Seeing that Xia Rong married so easily, I also know that Xia Tian knew about it. Time did not object. Shen Xiangyan really didn''t like this kind of behavior of sacrificing his brother for himself. When Shen Xiangyan and Xia Rong arrived at the Xia residence, they didn''t see Father Xia coming out to greet them. Instead, the servants led them to the front hall and waited for a full cup of tea before seeing Father Xia coming out of it unhurriedly. Xia Xueliang was in his forties, and his figure was a little out of shape. As soon as he came in, he got angry at the servants, saying why Xia Rong didn''t come to pass the news immediately when he came back, but he didn''t mean to blame him at all. Shen Xiangyan was also happy to watch this scene, but Xia Rong on the side felt so sad that he was dying. He knew that this was the case at home, and he was used to their neglect, but Xianggong had to suffer this kind of punishment with him. Xia Rong thought of this pair of Xia Rong The last trace of family affection faded away. Getting along these days made Shen Xiangyan know what Fulang was thinking just by looking at his appearance, and calmly patted Xia Rong''s hand as comfort, expressing that he was fine. Chapter 6: Here Father Xia and Shen Xiangyan were exchanging polite greetings in the front hall, while Xia Tian hurried into Mother Xia¡¯s yard in the backyard, not caring about the maid who was following behind, who yelled before entering the house, ¡°Mother, didn¡¯t you and Daddy say That kid from the Shen family has lost his family, and he won''t live long? Why did I hear that he is doing well, and he brought a lot of valuable things when he returned home today." "Hey, my miss, you can walk slowly, don''t fall and touch it, it''s a big deal." Yu Yu, who was beside Xia''s mother, heard the miss come in, and rushed to meet her. After Xia Xia entered the room and sat down, Li Lanzhi said, "How old is he, and still so frizzy, when the Shen family boy sent someone to inquire about it, he said that he was not in good health. Didn''t this matter have something to do with you at the beginning?" I¡¯ve said it before. It¡¯s fine if I leave it today¡­¡± Li Lanzhi tapped her finger on the kang table a few times, ¡°Mother Yu, please come in and have a seat, young master, just say I haven¡¯t seen him these days, I¡¯ll do it Mother misses him so much." "Hey, I''ll ask someone to go." Madam Yu followed Li Lanzhi before she came to Xia''s house. After such a long relationship as a master and servant, she immediately guessed what her young lady meant, and quickly agreed to send someone to invite her. "Mother, why did you invite that little hoof?" Mother Xia glared at her daughter, he could not do anything to this daughter, there was no city at all, and he blamed himself for being too spoiled, she had to choose this in-law''s family carefully from now on. The servant who came to invite Xia Rong had a look of arrogance on his face, and when he invited someone, he strode ahead without caring whether Xia Rong and the three behind him could keep up. In fact, Xia Rong didn''t want to be separated from her husband at all, but Xia''s mother invited her, and the reasons were explained, so he didn''t want to come. He Miao followed Xia Rong and whispered to He Xin who was next to him, "Why is this Xia family so imposing? Zhengjun dares to be so rude even when he returns home." He Xin hurriedly tugged on He Miao''s sleeve Stop him from continuing, and don''t see if this is a place where he can chew his tongue. Before going out this morning, Xia Rong was specially dressed up by Shen Xiangyan. She wore a taupe-coloured blouse embroidered with magnolia flowers, and a water-blue brocade skirt with dark patterns inside. Coupled with the fact that she has been carefully raised by Shen Xiangyan for this month, it is not to mention the world''s difference from the way she was before she got married, which is also eye-catching. Seeing Xia Rong''s appearance in summer, I was really jealous. She was dressed so well and had servants to serve her. These should belong to her, but now Xia Rong was cheap for nothing. Before Xia Rong finished her salute, she was pulled up by Xia''s mother, and said with pity on her face, "Young master has been away for a month, I really miss it." Xia Rong didn''t know what to answer. In the past at Xia''s house, his mother always treated him as a transparent person, and she didn''t see him a few times a year. She never talked to him so intimately. She couldn''t let him tell the truth. To be honest, he doesn''t think about home, right? Fortunately, Xia''s mother quickly changed the subject, chatted a few more gossips, and then asked with concern, "How is your husband''s health? I heard it was not very good at the beginning, and I don''t know if it is better now?" Xia Rong looked surprised, "Where did you hear that? My husband is in good health." Could it be that my husband is not in good health? Why didn''t he see it? Bar. Mother Xia was also shocked when she heard what he said. Could it be that what was said was false? Then what is going on with this matter. When Mother Xia wanted to continue to inquire carefully, Xia Rong stood up and saluted in panic, "Mother, it''s getting late today, so I''ll take my leave if I don''t bother you." In response, he hurriedly took He Xin and He Miao away. Seeing that he was so ignorant, Xia Xia hurriedly complained to Xia''s mother loudly, "Mother, look at how rude this little hoof is to you, you still don''t care." Xia''s mother was annoyed by Xia Tian''s yelling, "Look at you, you don''t look like a young lady, and you still talk about others." After finishing speaking, she didn''t bother with her, and turned to Madam Yu to order, "Send someone to carefully check the nearest Shen''s house. In this case, especially after Xia Rong married, be careful not to be discovered by the Shen family." Shen Xiangyan saw that Xia Rong came back in a hurry not long after he left, and looked at him hesitantly. Shen Xiangyan thought that he had been wronged, and he was not in the mood to deal with Xia Xueliang, so he found an excuse and got up to leave. Xia''s father had a grudge against this son-in-law because of the marriage change, and now he has no intention of staying. He waved his hand and let the two go. Shen Xiangyan carried Xia Rong into the carriage, and only then took the time to look at Xia Rong carefully up and down, and asked Xia Rong what''s wrong after seeing that there was nothing serious. "Sister, it doesn''t matter if you are sick, you tell Rong''er, if we are sick, we will find a doctor to treat it. If the doctor in the town can''t cure it, let''s go to the city to find a doctor." Xia Rong couldn''t help it when she saw her husband asking. Just say it, he doesn''t want Xianggong to leave him so early like Dad. When Shen Xiangyan heard this, he couldn''t laugh or cry, he didn''t need to guess what Mrs. Xia said. The original owner of this body was indeed seriously ill, but since he woke up from the body, he was only a little weak for the first two days, and he didn''t feel any discomfort after that. Seeing that Xia Rong''s eyes were red with anxiety, she stretched out her hand to hold Xia Rong in her arms, and coaxed softly, "You don''t know whether my husband and I are in good health. Then you, a little fool, will believe what Mrs. Xia says." Turning back He still had to ask He Xin and He Miao, who Xia Rong met in the backyard of Xia''s house, and what to say, seeing how anxious his family''s Rong''er was. Xia Rong buried her whole face in her husband''s arms, and when Shen Xiangyan said that she was fine, she still held on to him, insisting that he swear that she would not get sick and leave her first. Although Shen Xiangyan was helpless, he was happy to be used to his little husband, "Okay, okay, my husband swears that he will not leave you first." Whether he will get sick is out of his control, he can only pay attention to it on weekdays, and try not to get sick. It seems that the early departure of Xia Rong''s father still left a shadow on Xia Rong. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The weather in Furong Town is not too different from that in northern China, with four distinct seasons. After Xia Rong returned home for the day, winter soon entered. When He Xin and He Miao waited for the two to get up early in the morning, they reported that there was a lot of snow outside. Xia Rong was so excited when she heard that, she just got dressed and went out of the house. The ground that was clean last night suddenly turned white. Shen Xiangyan followed and put a piece of clothing on Xia Rong. Although it is not cold when it snows, it is not cold in winter. Standing under the eaves and watching the snowflakes flying outside, Shen Xiangyan took a deep breath of cold air. In this kind of place that is not polluted by technology, the air is really good. What''s more, the snow under the snow is cleaner than what he has seen before. Every snowflake are complete hexagons. After breakfast, Xia Rong insisted on dragging Shen Xiangyan to build a snowman, and Shen Xiangyan also came to play around with Xia Rong. After the two rolled a big snowball, Xia Rong squeezed the snow into a ball and handed it to Shen Xiangyan, who was responsible for pasting the snowball on the snowman, giving it a little plasticity. In the end, there were two more snowmen, one big and one small, who were very close to each other in the yard. Xia Rong expressed that she was very satisfied with the result. Shen Xiangyan had already ordered He Xin to cook the **** water to dispel the cold, and he felt relieved after seeing Xia Rong drank the whole bowl with his tongue out. A few days ago, someone from Guanya told me that there was a yard that met his requirements, but it was just a junior, and it was probably new, with all the furniture, and the asking price was 800 taels. The price is nothing, but Shen Xiangyan thinks it is too big to enter the courtyard four times, after all, there are only two of them in the Shen family now, in fact, three entrances are enough. But later, Shen Xiangyan went to check it out. The courtyard was very delicately built. It was really like what Guan Ya said was a small courtyard, much smaller than the normal courtyard. But what attracted Shen Xiangyan the most was the shop in the main house of the courtyard Dilong. Xia Rong''s system is cold and he is afraid of the cold, and it will continue to be cold in winter. Having an earth dragon is exactly what he wants. Now that a decision has been made, Shen Xiangyan is not the kind of procrastinator. In the afternoon, I went to Guanya and paid a deposit of 400 taels. Such a big place has to buy some people, so Shen Xiangyan bought two more people, both of whom were husband and wife with a half-sized child. Shen Xiangyan thought about these two boys In the future, you can follow Shen An to busy yourself in business. In addition to this, I also bought two rough envoys, two guards who know some kung fu, and a cook. Seeing that the snow is getting bigger and bigger outside, and it can''t stop in a short time, it happens that I can clean up the house in these two days, and I am moving after the snow stops. Chapter 7: When Xia Rong heard about the move, she looked at the snowmen in the yard and felt a little bit reluctant. Before he got married, he had never been reluctant to leave the house where he had lived for more than ten years, but he had feelings for this small courtyard where he had only lived for more than a month. Shen Xiangyan put his hands on Xia Rong''s shoulders, and asked softly, "Aren''t you reluctant to part with those two snowmen? The two snowmen are even more reluctant to part with this place where they have lived for more than a month, even he himself has feelings for this place where he woke up. Xia Rong shook her head, and held her husband''s fingers under the cover of her sleeves. He knew that it was this person who made him feel affectionate, not the two snowmen or the yard. No matter where he went, as long as he was there The place is his home. It took a whole day to move, but the two masters of the Shen family didn''t have much stuff. It was mainly Shen Xiangyan''s spices, the servants didn''t know how to deal with them, so he had to make everything by himself. Of course, when it comes to moving, the two little rabbits raised by Xia Rong must have not forgotten to take them away. Since the two little rabbits arrived at Shen''s house, they have been served by Xia Rong with delicious food and drink. Brighter. The new home has been replaced with a door plaque with the words "Shen House" written on it. Entering the vermilion gate is a spacious courtyard, and going forward is the hall for guests in the outer courtyard. Walking through the corridor and entering through the hanging flower door on the left hand side is Shen Xiangyan''s perfume house specially prepared for making incense. Passing through the courtyard, you can see a small garden with a rockery pond. There are still a few koi in the pond, but now the water is frozen and can''t be seen. But it is not difficult to imagine what it will be like when the lotus on the water is in full bloom in the warm spring season. After passing the small garden, the main courtyard where the two will live in the future will be the Begonia Courtyard. Because there is a crabapple tree in the courtyard that can barely be hugged by two grown men, it was named by the former owner of the courtyard. Shen Xiangyan thinks that this name is appropriate for the occasion. No change. Shen Xiangyan led Xia Rong into the main room. The most eye-catching thing in the room was a large bed carved with red sandalwood. Xia Rong blushed when she saw that bed, for no other reason than that the bed was covered with brocade mattresses embroidered with red and gold thread peonies, and the hanging curtains were also decorated with red and gold flowers. Seeing that he was shy, Shen Xiangyan didn''t say anything, "Rong''er, let''s go back to the front hall, everyone in the house wants to salute you as a gentleman." Xia Rong blushed even more after hearing this. The two returned to the front hall, and everyone saluted them. On the same day, I bought two families, one surnamed Feng and one surnamed Chen. The boys of the two families, Feng Qin and Chen Cai, were both thirteen and fourteen years old. The cook, Rong Shi, is a widow, and in addition to being good at cooking Suzhou dishes, she is also good at making all kinds of dim sum. Now Xia Rong is lucky. Xia Rong rewarded each person with a half tael of silver at the suggestion of her husband, which was regarded as a meeting gift from the master. While touching his husband''s little hand, Shen Xiangyan thought, he can deal with these human affairs outside, but in the future Xia Rong will definitely deal with the wives and ladies of these families in the town. With his little husband''s simple nature, he has to think about it. Find a way. He raised his eyes and looked at He Xin and He Miao who were standing behind Xia Rong. It seemed that he was fine and could mention these two things. What the two of them ate that night was the dishes made by Rong''s, because it was the first time to cook for the master''s family, it can be said that Rong''s tried his best to satisfy the two masters. Eight dishes and one soup were cooked, and six of the eight on the table were cooked according to Xia Rong''s taste. It seems that these servants in the family really know that if they hold the lord, they can hold him. Shen Xiangyan touched his nose, but that''s good, they will serve Xia Rong more meticulously. In the evening, Xia Rong was lying in the new quilt and saw that her husband went to bed after taking a bath, and she took the initiative to rub her. She got into the quilt and held his feet on her stomach to keep him warm. The earth dragon was already burning in this room, it was really warm, but Xia Rong''s feet were still so cold, Shen Xiangyan frowned subconsciously. "Rong''er, I would like to invite Uncle Li and his family to visit our house in the future, and the female relatives will have to wrong you to entertain them." "Ah! Rong''er has never done this before, and Rong''er is afraid that she can''t do it well." Xia Rong immediately became nervous when she heard that he was asked to entertain guests. Shen Xiangyan rubbed the head of the person in his arms, and said softly, "Aunt Li is a very easy-going person, and my sister-in-law would be nice too, don''t worry, when the time comes, you just need to sit and chat with them and have some snacks. I will explain the rest to He Xin." Xia Rong was relieved after hearing what Xianggong said, and said that she would fulfill the tasks assigned by Xianggong and entertain the guests well. After finishing speaking, I didn''t act like a baby and asked my husband to tell him a bedtime story. This bedtime story kept appearing, but after telling the fairy tale for a period of time, the bedtime story in Shen Xiangyan''s head was completely digested. Now he is talking about the storybooks that are widely sold in books in the town. Xia Rong lay in Shen Xiangyan''s arms and listened to tonight''s story without any sleepiness. will fall asleep. "Why are you so energetic tonight?" Shen Xiangyan put down the book in his hand, and took Xia Rong into his arms. Xia Rong buried her head in Xianggong''s arms, hesitated for a while before whispering, "Master, when will Rong''er have a baby?" "Ahem..." Shen Xiangyan was taken aback by Xia Rong''s sudden question, and then asked calmly, "Why did you think about having a baby?" Xia Rong thought about it, and finally said it, "He Miao said that if Rong''er has a baby, my husband will like Rong''er even more, and Rong''er wants my husband to like her." Shen Xiangyan picked up Xia Rong, let him sit on his body, raised his chin so that he could look at him, "Rong''er, you are still young, you will have a baby when you grow up, but even if you don''t have a baby Xianggong also likes you the most." Hearing that there will be no baby yet, Xia Rong was a little disappointed, but Xianggong later said that he likes himself the most, Xia Rong smiled happily, "I also like Xianggong the most." Shen Xiangyan, who finally got this matter out of the way, heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Apart from the age issue, he thought he had to find a reliable doctor to show Xia Rong. It''s cold, so I have to let the doctor see how to take care of it. The next day, Shen Xiangyan led Feng Qin and Chen Cai to Xiangzilai, and told Shen An to ask these two boys to help him, so that Shen An would not be as busy as he is now. Shen An handed over the account book for this month to Shen Xiangyan, and said with some concern, "Master, there are already other shops in the market that smell like our perfume, and the perfume business in the past two days has not been as good as before. It''s gone." Shen An was very worried that if this continued, Xiang Zilai would not have such an advantage as they do now. Shen Xiangyan waved his hand, "Don''t worry, I have counted this before. Tomorrow, the price will be reduced and it will no longer be limited. I will ask Feng Qin and the others to send the new perfume." To be honest, when the store opened on the first day He knew that pirated copies were impossible, but he had a lot of prescriptions in his hand, and there were some rare and difficult materials, but he was not afraid of other companies producing the same things. What he wants is just this time difference, so that everyone thinks of Xiangzilai first when they think of perfume. What he needs is to create the brand of Xiangzilai. However, the really good recipes in his hand and the spices he needs are a bit difficult. When spring comes, he has to go to the mountains around Furong Town to look for them. There are many fragrances that only he knows. Shen An was relieved when he heard the young master said that there was a way. Anyway, there were two boys watching in the store, and the two talked about some situations in the store. Since then, Shen An really admired his young master. , those business methods that he thought of at a young age make him, who has worked as a shopkeeper for several years, feel inferior. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª On the other side of the Xia residence, Madam Xia listened to Nanny Yu''s report, and finally asked again in disbelief, "The recently famous perfume you mentioned just now comes from the new shop opened by the Shen family kid. But really?" "Really, really, that shop used to belong to the Shen family, but it was closed for more than a year, and it reopened recently. The people who sent it were afraid that the shop was resold, so they waited at the door of the shop for two days to see When the shopkeeper was called the young master of the Shen family, it was confirmed that he hadn''t changed his house. Not only that, didn''t the little girl who lived in the Shen family move into the yard all the time, and he moved to a new house yesterday, and the place he moved to was a big courtyard with four entrances Well, I asked someone to inquire about it, but the yard costs eight hundred taels of silver." For the first time, Mrs. Xia felt that she had made a mistake. Although she didn''t know how Shen Xiangyan suddenly became so lucky, she knew how good it was to let Xia marry him in the first place. It''s a pity, it''s believable, it''s really cheap for Xia Rong. Mrs. Xia rubbed her brows and said, "Don''t tell Miss about this for now, she doesn''t know how to make a fuss if she knows about her temper." Nanny Yu knew about her young lady''s temper, but she couldn''t help but remind her, "I''m afraid the fire won''t be covered with paper, madam should make a plan early." "Let me figure out a way to hide it for a day." Mrs. Xia waved impatiently to stop Nanny Yu from continuing. Chapter 8: When Li Xiangming brought his family to Shen''s house, he saw Shen Xiangyan and his husband were already waiting at the door. After Shen Xiangyan took Xia Rong to meet the Li family, Li Xiangming patted Shen Xiangyan on the shoulder full of relief, "You are not bad, I also heard about the reopened shop of your family. I can feel at ease." "The business matter is still honored by the ancestors, and my nephew also hit it by mistake. Fortunately, he made a name for himself." Li Xiangming really used all his strength to clap his hands, and Shen Xiangyan moved the quilt calmly. Patting the very painful shoulder, "It''s my nephew''s honor to have my uncle''s family come to move this time." Li Xiangming thought about it for a while, the Shen family is an incense making family that has been passed down for several generations after all, how could it be possible that there is no special prescription. In this way, the doubts that Li Xiangming had originally were pushed by Shen Xiangyan to the Shen family''s ancestral incense making skills, "Don''t say these polite words, you can''t do business without any real skills. If my son I can feel relieved to have you." After speaking, he glared at Li Dongsheng who was following behind. Li Dongsheng spread his hands helplessly, "Father, don''t talk about your son, you are still growing old, why do you want your son to be so capable?" Li Xiangming was so angry that he gasped, his son could only pretend twice in front of outsiders, if it wasn''t for the fact that he was in Shen''s house, he would have taken off his shoes and beat him, anyway, it''s not like he hadn''t done this before. Seeing that his father was really angry, Li Dongsheng hurriedly said, "Ai, ai, calm down, Daddy, don''t be so angry, this is in the Shen family, so be careful." The last time we met, we didn''t chat for a few words. Shen Xiangyan didn''t know that Li Dongsheng was such an interesting person, but now he really wants to make friends. After arranging for the two female family members of the Li family to follow Xia Rong, the rest of the men went to the front hall to drink tea and chat. Xia Rong led the two wives of the Li family around the courtyard, and then returned to the main courtyard''s hall for entertaining guests. Seeing that He Xin ordered to bring up the tea, snacks and fruit plates that had been prepared in an orderly manner, he was secretly relieved. Mrs. Li has seen Xia Rong''s temperament along the way, unlike ordinary wives and concubines in the backyard, on the contrary, she is a bit innocent and childish. In fact, Mrs. Li was very fed up with the anger of the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, wife and concubines in the backyard in the early years, so she hated the scheming woman Shuang''er the most. Even the daughter-in-law she chose for her son was a pure-hearted, simple family girl. Therefore, Xia Rong''s temperament was just hitting Mrs. Li''s temper right. Looking at the material of Xia Rong''s clothes, the daughter-in-law may not be able to tell, but she can really see it, it is all high-quality brocade. Even if their Li family is considered a wealthy family, this material cannot be used as ordinary clothing. Then look at the jade hairpin on Xia Rong''s head that is used to coil her hair. It is also a high-quality Hetian jade. A hairpin like this outside costs at least thirty or forty taels of silver, but this Xia Rong seems to have no idea at all, just doing it so casually With that, it seems that the kid from the Shen family really doesn''t like this husband in general. After getting along for a while, Xia Rong saw that Mrs. Li was not a difficult person to get along with, so she gradually relaxed, showing a bit of her true nature, and Dongsheng''s daughter-in-law interjected from time to time, and finally coaxed Mrs. Li directly. He took Xia Rong''s hand and shouted "heart". Before Mrs. Li came to Shen''s house, she was specially told by her husband to see how the husband Shen Xiangyan married was of good character. He just said that he was sorry for brother Shen and let his son be bullied by the Xia family. Before Mrs. Li came, she also planned, if Xia Rong was not a good person, would she introduce some innocent girls to Shen Xiangyan, and let him take them up as concubines or something. Now that I saw Xia Rong, I liked it no matter how I looked at it, and the relationship between the two seemed very good, and the original thoughts had long since stopped. She didn''t want to be that villain and destroy the relationship between the two juniors. On Shen Xiangyan''s side, the three of them also chatted very well. The Li family''s father and son even introduced him to an old doctor with good medical skills. It is said that he had saved Li Dongsheng''s life. Fucui Mountain near Furong Town was accidentally bitten by poisonous insects, and the doctors in the town were helpless, but it was this old doctor who saved his life. But this old doctor has no children all his life, although he lives at the corner of Fucui Mountain, he often travels around to see a doctor for the poor, so it is not easy to find this old doctor. Shen Xiangyan was already very satisfied when he heard the news, and he already knew where he lived, so he only needed to send someone to guard it nearby. He still had some patience. The gathering of the two families was a joy for the guests. In the end, He Xin also brought two pear-blossom wooden boxes, which contained the Xiangtapao balm and perfume that Shen Xiangyan had prepared earlier, and gave it to Li in the name of Xia Rong. Two wives at home. Mrs. Li''s family smiled happily when she received the gift, and her impression of Xia Rong was even better. After Mrs. Li went back there, she expressed her love for Xia Rong to Li Xiangming, so there is no need to elaborate. Here, Shen Xiangyan played with her husband''s weak and boneless hands, and scratched his palms with her fingers from time to time. Xia Rong''s palms were very scared. Itching, but resisted Ren Xianggong to hold his hand. However, Shen Xiangyan is the person who can climb up the pole the most, and he doesn''t intend to let go at all, instead holding Xia Rong''s limp little hand, he doesn''t want to let go, and the good-tempered little husband almost blows his hair before asking him about it a matter of day. In fact, He Xin had already reported these things to him one by one, but it didn''t matter, his original intention of asking these things was just to divert Xia Rong''s attention, so that he wouldn''t withdraw his hand. Little Xia Rong didn''t know what the hungry wolf beside her was thinking, so she honestly talked about today''s events a little bit, with a serious tone, and finally looked at Shen Xiangyan begging for praise. Following Husband''s wishes, Shen Xiangyan leaned down and praised him several times in his ear, and kissed the corner of his mouth as a reward, which made Xia Rong''s ears feel hot and numb, and he didn''t recover for a long time. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Since the last snowfall, the weather has become colder and colder, and even the pedestrians on the streets of Furong Town have decreased. When the servants reported that Dr. Li had arrived, Shen Xiangyan was lying on the couch in the main room, with a thick fur blanket on the couch, and Xia Rong was leaning on his arms, the two of them were having a good time. We chatted together. Hearing that Dr. Li was coming, Shen Xiangyan hurriedly asked the little girl to invite him in. The person sent to look for Dr. Li at the foot of Fucui Mountain brought people back yesterday, but it was already late when they arrived. Shen Xiangyan saw that it was not easy to travel in this snowy day. Anyway, Xia Rong was not in a hurry, so he just talked with Li. After the doctor said hello, he asked his servants to take him to rest first. Dr. Li didn''t like this person who insisted on sending someone to invite him. Anyone who came to invite him to go out when he just got home and wanted to rest would not like it. But last night, the boy from the Shen family was very polite to him, and the place the servants arranged for him was also very suitable for him, so the dissatisfaction was also a little bit lessened. Today, when he came to see a doctor, he thought he was suffering from an incurable disease, but found that the person who asked him to see so urgently was actually a Shuanger who seemed to have no serious problems. Shuang''er loved her so much, Dr. Li stroked his beard, he had practiced medicine for so many years, he had never seen any kind of person, but it was the first time he saw someone who doted on her husband like this. Dr. Li felt Xia Rong''s pulse, pondered for a while, and said, "This is a symptom of some insufficiency at birth, but has the lady ever suffered from severe cold or something like that?" Xia Rong thought for a while and said, "In the winter when I was ten years old, when I went out to play with my sister, I accidentally fell into the water." Listening to Dr. Li''s questioning, although Shen Xiangyan already had guesses, but after hearing Xia Rong''s narration, his heart ached a bit. A ten-year-old child should already be sensible, how could he fall into the ice water for no reason? Knowing that this matter cannot escape the participation of Xia Rong''s sister-in-law. Doctor Li nodded after hearing this, "That''s right. Even if the womb is a little weaker, my lady, the cold air won''t enter the body like this. It''s better to give birth to the body before it''s too young. Otherwise, it will not only be difficult for the offspring, When people get old, their illnesses will come to them one by one. Fortunately, Mrs. Ling is still young, so it will be fine after a year or so of recuperation according to the old man''s prescription." After speaking, he went to the table and wrote two lists and handed them to Shen Xiangyan, "One is medicinal bath prescription, once every three days, half an hour each time. The other is for oral administration, three bowls of water decocted to half a bowl, one bowl a day , drink it for two months before coming to find me. I also wrote the daily precautions on it, remember not to let him catch the cold.¡± Shen Xiangyan took the two forms and asked Dr. Li a lot of precautions. Then he saluted Dr. Li and thanked him for a long time. Originally, Shen Xiangyan wanted Dr. Li to stay for a few more days, or simply stay in his residence. Firstly, with Dr. Li around, someone can take care of Xia Rong''s body if there is any problem, and secondly, the residence at the foot of the mountain is definitely not as good as him. It''s a pity that Dr. Li refused without any hesitation, saying that his house was well lived, so he was restricted from coming to other people''s house. Shen Xiangyan had no choice but to give Dr. Li a lot of money for the consultation fee, and then made an appointment to see him next time, and then sent his servants to take him back to the foot of Fucui Mountain. Chapter 9: After Dr. Li left, Shen Xiangyan wrapped Xia Rong in a blanket and carried her back to the couch. Without saying a word, he ran his hands down Xia Rong''s hair. Xia Rong was sensitive to her husband''s unhappiness, so she obediently Put your head on Xianggong''s shoulder and let him smooth your hair. "Rong''er tell Xianggong about falling into the ice water when she was ten years old, okay?" The voice was more gentle than usual, but there was something wrong, although Xia Rong could hear something wrong in Xianggong''s tone I don''t know where the problem is. But since it was something my husband wanted to know, Xia Rong still seriously recalled, "When I was ten years old, many children in the same grade as us came to the house, and some of them were twins like Rong''er. Everyone was chatting and eating snacks in the house, but for some reason, someone proposed to play an ice play on the pond in the back garden of the house, and asked Rong''er if she could go." Xia Rong was a little embarrassed when she said that, and paused Dun continued, "At that time, Rong''er didn''t have many playmates. Those people suddenly asked Rong''er, and Rong''er thought that she could play with them, so she went along happily." "Actually, there were only two snowfalls at that time, and the frozen ones on the pond were not that strong. At first, everyone was having fun, but for some reason, there was a quarrel, and a large piece fell down. Rong''er Seeing this, she had already avoided it, but was suddenly pushed from behind, and for some reason, the piece of ice that Rong''er fell on suddenly cracked." Xia Rong recalled that the body unconsciously slapped Shivering, that bone-piercing coldness, he never wanted to experience it again in his life. Seeing Xia Rong like this, Shen Xiangyan reached out and hugged him tightly. Xia Rong lay in Shen Xiangyan''s arms, and continued in a low voice, "Actually, Rong''er seems to know who pushed Rong''er. Before Rong''er fell, she saw a cloak covered with fox fur. The style of the cloak is very special. The rose-pink one is rolled with fine white fox fur." ??Xia Rong paused and continued, "That cloak was specially made by my mother for my sister-in-law to wear that day. A cloak. In fact, later I thought that my sister¡¯s push on Rong¡¯er was just to make Rong¡¯er fall, who knew that the piece of ice was not very strong, which made Rong¡¯er fall so badly. " "You ladies and gentlemen want to go to the backyard to play an ice play, and none of those servants will come out to stop you?" Shen Xiangyan frowned and asked the most important question. The ladies and gentlemen don''t know, but those servants should know that there is something on the pond. The ice is not frozen solid. Xia Rong laughed softly when she heard Xianggong''s question, remembering how a group of ladies and gentlemen avoided the servants at that time, and actually dispelled the cold feeling all over the body just now, "We were avoiding the servants at that time. If you let them know that such a group of ladies and gentlemen are going to play an ice show, they will be frightened." Shen Xiangyan was stunned for a moment, but then he was relieved, if this was a pre-designed conspiracy, Xia Rong would have died long ago, but even though his sister-in-law wanted Xia Rong''s life unintentionally, it was more hateful than intentional. Thinking of this, Shen Xiangyan closed his eyes, listening to Xia Tian''s temperament that he couldn''t stop, maybe sooner or later he would take the initiative to bump into his hands. Shen Xiangyan also didn''t want Xia Rong to continue thinking about those old things, the main reason was that he couldn''t let it go if he didn''t ask clearly about it, and he didn''t need to keep asking after he knew what happened. Then he changed the subject, took the tangerines on the small table in front of the bed and peeled them for Xia Rong. This kind of tangerines tasted sweet, and Xia Rong liked to eat them very much recently. After the two ate an orange, Xia Rong relied on Xianggong not to want to get up. In fact, the blanket on his body and Xianggong''s body kept him warm and lazy like a small stove. Shen Xiangyan was also happy to let him rely on himself, reached out for a volume of poems, lay down on the couch with the little husband in his arms, and began to read. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª For more than a month since that day, Xiao Fulang began to have a faint herbal fragrance on his body due to the medicinal bath and drinking medicine. Shen Xiangyan hugged Fulang''s small body, and it was rare that he didn''t hate this smell, but instead felt an indescribable sense of tranquility. Although Feng Yuguo''s Shuang''er is no different from a man, her figure will be relatively petite, her figure will be softer, and her skin will be fairer and smoother. Although she will not look like a woman, she will be softer than a normal man. Shen Xiangyan hugged the little husband who was finally bred to have some flesh, buried his face in the neck of the little husband, rubbed and rubbed, until Xia Rong, who was rubbing against each other, stopped crying, it''s so good, it''s still a little fleshy hug It''s more comfortable to get up. Looking at the sky, it was already midnight, Shen Xiangyan patted the person who was still in his arms, "Get up." Xia Rong said "En.", and was about to stand up but suddenly froze. After Shen Xiangyan got dressed and Xia Rong didn''t get up, she teased, "Why, do you still want to stay in bed?" Xia Rong buried her face in the quilt and said in a muffled voice, "Master, you go out first, Rong''er will get up in a while." Only then did Shen Xiangyan realize that something was wrong, and sat back on the bed to try to pull off the quilt that was covering Xia Rong, but the quilt didn''t lift off, and Xia Rong firmly grabbed her. Shen Xiangyan was a little worried about Xia Rong''s abnormality, and anxiously wanted to grab his quilt to see what happened to the little husband, "Rong''er, what''s the matter, loosen the quilt and let my husband see." Seeing that Xia Rong couldn''t hold back the quilt, she was so anxious that she was about to cry, "Sister, you go out first, okay?" Seeing that Xia Rong really didn''t let go, for fear of making him anxious, Shen Xiangyan said, "Okay "Go out first, in fact he really did go out, but after a while, he heard no movement in the house, still worried, so he pushed the door and went in lightly. There was no one on the bed, Xia Rong was behind the screen, Shen Xiangyan looked closely at the bloodstains on the part of the quilt that had been turned back, and hurriedly lifted the quilt completely, there was also some blood on the bed. This frightened Shen Xiangyan, and he didn''t care whether Xia Rong would be angry with him, thinking that Xia Rong might be hurt. Turning into the screen, one could see Xia Rong who had just put on his trousers with a shy face, and there were many letter belts beside him. Well, in Shen Xiangyan''s memory, those things seemed to be used when he came to Kuishui. Xia Rong was almost ashamed. He just wanted to get up and realized something was wrong. He finally let the husband go out and wanted to finish it quickly, but it was his first time doing it, so he was inevitably in a hurry. Who knew that he would just bump into him. After being stunned for a while, Shen Xiangyan came back to his senses, um, it wasn''t an injury, but Shuang''er''s normal physiological reaction, so that''s fine, that''s fine. After thinking about it, this should be Xia Rong''s first time here. They had never seen Xia Rong like this before when they slept together, and thinking about it, Dr. Li''s prescription has helped these days. Seeing Xia Rong standing there blushing and looking a little at a loss, Shen Xiangyan, a 30-year-old uncle at heart, immediately started the dual care mode of being a parent and a husband when facing his little lover. In short, just treat this as if a woman came to Kuishui. It should be the same. I was afraid that Xia Rong would not understand it for the first time. I know, in the place where the information was developed in his previous life, of course he knew a little bit of basic common sense. He took the little husband by the hand and asked him to go back to bed and lie down for a while, "Well, that''s about it, Rong''er should rest well these days, you know? Now you lie down for a while, and my husband will get you breakfast. Eat on the bed, what would Rong''er want to eat?" Xia Rong covered herself with the quilt, thought for a while and said, "Rong''er wants to eat the vegetable porridge made by my husband." "Okay, I''ll make it for you, Mr. Xianggong, and it will be ready in a while." After finishing speaking, he patted Xia Rong''s head, "If something happens, ask He Xin and He Miao to look for me, do you know?" Hearing Xia Rong''s promised voice from inside the quilt, Shen Xiangyan left the house and went to the kitchen. Before he left, he didn''t feel at ease and specially told He Xin and He Miao to stand guard at the door and send someone to call Zhengjun if there was anything wrong. Chapter 10: When Shen Xiangyan came back with vegetable porridge and a few side dishes, he saw Xia Rong obediently lying on the bed waiting for him, so he nodded in satisfaction. After fixing the small kang table for him, he passed the vegetable porridge to him. Seeing the little husband eating the porridge, his face was buried in the bowl, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t help laughing. He took some of his favorite side dishes with chopsticks and put them in the porridge bowl. He felt that if he didn''t pick up Xia Rong''s dishes, he would have to bury his head in the porridge with his current shyness. In the past few days, the herbal tea that Xia Rong drank every day was also replaced by Shen Xiangyan with red date tea, which is good for the body. Originally, in a family of some status in Feng Yuguo, the couple would sleep in separate beds when this kind of thing happened. Xia Rong mentioned it once in a low voice, but Shen Xiangyan dismissed it before he finished speaking. How could it be possible to let him and the young husband sleep separately, but fortunately, there were only the two masters in the Shen family, and no one could say anything. Xia Rong naturally listens to her husband in everything, and Xia Rong didn''t want to sleep separately from her husband at first, but now sleeping next to her husband at night is like a natural heater. Xia Rong sleeps very warm and reassuring every night, so I mentioned it once After being opposed by his husband, he naturally wouldn''t bring it up again, so the two of them still hug each other and sleep together every night. After Xia Rong''s first Kwai Shui left, he had to prepare for the New Year. This was Shen Xiangyan''s first New Year in this time and space, and it was also his first New Year with his little husband. There are not one or two things that need to be prepared for the new year. Fortunately, Shen Xiangyan is very interested in it, and he is ready to take care of everything in person, so that this first new year will be perfect without making mistakes. Shen Xiangyan didn''t know much about the customs of the Chinese New Year in this place. Fortunately, there were the Feng family and the Chen family. They were all experienced old people. With their guidance, it was easy for Shen Xiangyan to get started and direct everyone to get busy. . As for Xiangzilai''s business, under the arrangement of Shen Xiangyan, they also started a big promotion before the year, such as buying perfume and getting balm, a perfume gift box set that looks more exquisitely packaged, and a lottery ticket for every fifty taels etc. This event also allowed Xiang Zilai''s business to more than double its profit in the month before last. On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, this day is the day when the Stove Lord goes to heaven. The Rong family has made a lot of candy for offering sacrifices to the stove with corn and millet and fried sesame seeds. When dusk fell into the night, Shen Xiangyan brought his family to the kitchen, set up the altar table, set up the incense burner, and offered all kinds of sacrifices and fruits that had been prepared. The statue of the Kitchen God and the paper-made horse were burned together, praying that the Kitchen God would say a few more good words in front of the Jade Emperor, and hope that the family will be auspicious and safe next year. Afterwards, you can share the prepared candy for everyone to eat. Xia Rong deliberately took a piece and stuffed it into the husband''s mouth. Shen Xiangyan, who didn''t like candy very much, didn''t stop him. The sweet taste mixed with the aroma of sesame seeds melted in his mouth. , The rare feeling is not bad. The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month is also known as the sweeping dust day, but everyone in the house is very busy on this day. Originally, there are only two masters in Shen''s house so far, and there are not many servants who need to serve on weekdays. But when it comes to this kind of year-end cleaning, it is found that there is not enough manpower. Not only do we have to clean all kinds of utensils, remove and wash bedding and curtains, but also clean every corner of the yard. Even Shen Xiangyan and Xia Rong helped out together that day. Of course, the two masters finally only did some light work under repeated objections from the servants, so they didn''t mention it. In the next few days, the house will buy a lot of new year''s goods every day, all kinds of snacks and dried fruits, needless to say chicken, duck and fish. Shen Xiangyan also bought a large piece of fresh venison in the town, and planned to cook it and eat it fresh on New Year''s Eve. The mansion also invited people from Jinxiufang to make several sets of new clothes for Xia Rong and Shen Xiangyan, and even each of the servants prepared two sets. The days were fast, on the day of the New Year''s Eve, Shen Xiangyan and Xia Rong got up early in the morning to put on new clothes, and put up Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters together, as well as the New Year pictures cut out of red paper by He Xin and He Miao. . Red lanterns of different sizes are hung all over the house, which is full of flavor at a glance. The Shen family cooked a total of twenty-two dishes that day. Before the meal, the servants saluted the two masters and said blessings, and Shen Xiangyan and the two of them distributed the red purses full of silver fruits that had been prepared long ago to everyone. , The servants who received the red envelopes all looked happy. Waiting for these to end before starting the meal. The New Year¡¯s Eve dinner is a custom. There are so many dishes that everyone must not be able to finish, but what we want is this festive and lively. After the meal, Shen Xiangyan wrapped Xia Rong in a blanket and let him sit on his lap, and the two watched the New Year together listening to the crackling firecrackers outside the house. Shen Xiangyan fed the peeled chestnuts into Xia Rong''s mouth one by one, watching him chew things with puffy face like a little hamster, he just felt that the time is peaceful at this moment, and the emptiness of his thirty years in the previous life is here in just a few short days. The month was filled until tonight, when the two of them watched the New Year together, the happiness in their hearts seemed to be overflowing. Shen Xiangyan kissed the little husband whose mouth was still covered with broken chestnuts, and then continued his feeding work. When it was Haishi, Xia Rong had already started to nod a little sleepy, too, usually at this time, the two of them would have already gone to bed, it''s no wonder Xia Rong''s biological clock is not sleepy at this point. Shen Xiangyan nodded Xia Rong''s little nose, and asked with a smile, "Rong''er, how about I carry you back to sleep first?" Xia Rong, who was awakened, had a face full of disapproval, hugging Xianggong''s neck and not letting go, the sign of rejection was very obvious, "No, I want to watch the new year with Xianggong." "Okay, okay, Rong''er won''t sleep, let''s watch the new year together." This night he also selfishly wanted Rong''er to watch with him, in case Xia Rong was dozing off, Shen Xiangyan asked He Xin to get some fireworks sticks Come, a few people set off fireworks in the yard. Until he heard the melodious sound of twelve bells striking in the distance, Xia Rong dropped the firework stick that was still burning in his hand and ran towards him. Shen Xiangyan heard Xia Rong shout "Happy New Year" to him in his slightly soft voice amidst the background sound of firecrackers getting louder. Shen Xiangyan heard his own heartbeat clearly at this moment, that voice was So fast and powerful, like a deer running on flat ground, hugging Xia Rong who was running over, he heard his own voice, "Rong''er, thank you, happy new year." Xia Rong was carried into the house by his husband, and when he was put on the bed, he was still thinking about what the new year gift his husband would give him. Just now, when Shen Xiangyan picked up Xia Rong, he whispered in his ear that there was something to be a New Year gift. give him. Seeing that Shen Xiangyan took out a key from the small cabinet of his dressing table, used the key to open a hidden compartment on the side of the bed, and took out an inconspicuous pear wood box, Xia Rong looked at the box with Full of doubts. "Rong''er, this is our family''s property, and it will be handed over to you for safekeeping." After speaking, he took out a smaller key from the dark green bamboo-style purse that Xia Rong embroidered for him, and put it together with Xia Rong. hands. Xia Rong was a little curious and used a small key to open the copper lock on the pear wood box. Inside were five silver notes of one thousand taels and three of one hundred taels, as well as the title deed of the yard where he lived now and the family members of the house. death deed. Xia Rong stared at the pile of things with wide-eyed cat eyes. There was so much money in the family, and Xia Rong, who was startled, closed the wooden box, "Master, these Rongs are out of control, you are the one who cares about it." Let it go." Shen Xiangyan put his **** on Xia Rong''s lips and made a "shh" gesture, "Good boy, other women are scrambling to take care of this, why come to my husband, I have to hand it in on my own initiative, And don''t want to." Xia Rong looked embarrassed, and wanted to continue to evade, so she heard Shen Xiangyan continue, "Besides, this is my New Year''s gift to Rong''er, and after the husband makes money, I will give it to Rong''er, and Rong''er will give it all to Rong''er." How about saving it up?" Seeing that Xia Rong didn''t speak, "Rong''er, you don''t like my gift?" "not me¡­" "Since it''s not, it means Rong''er that you accept it. Don''t go back on your word. In the future, remember to send me pocket money regularly." Shen Xiangyan continued patiently, "Rong''er, think about it. If you need money, can you not give it to me?" Xia Rong immediately shook her head, "In this case, it doesn''t matter who keeps the box, right?" Xia Rong was so fooled that he had no choice but to accept the box, thinking in his heart that he was just keeping it for Xianggong, and when Xianggong needed money, he would definitely give it to Xianggong. Lock the box again, put it back in the dark compartment, put one of the keys back on the dressing table, and hide the other next to your body. After doing all this, Xia Rong thought to herself that it was lucky that the secret compartment was in the bed, otherwise he would really have to worry about sleeping. That night, Shen Xiangyan hugged Xia Rong and waited for the person in his arms to fall asleep, but he still didn''t feel sleepy at all. It wasn''t that he didn''t want to sleep, it was just that he couldn''t sleep because of his physical problems. Shen Xiangyan smelled the smell of Xia Rong in his arms, and looked at the curtains on the bed with wide eyes. Why did he eat the plate of venison on the table so much? He ate so much, it was killing him. Originally, just hugging and kissing every night was enough for him to bear, but this time he just took it upon himself. The helpless Young Master Shen had no choice but to get up carefully to avoid waking Xia Rong up. After going to the screen, I was relieved once, and then I went to bed and continued to sleep with Xia Rong in my arms. Before I fell asleep, I was still thinking that this kind of aphrodisiac thing should not be touched before my husband grows up. No way. Chapter 11: The next day, Shen Xiangyan woke up to the sound of firecrackers, and found something missing in his arms in a daze, so he habitually hugged him on the bed, but it was empty. Shen Xiangyan woke up immediately. Xia Rong, who was supposed to be sleeping inside, had long since disappeared. Shen Xiangyan sat up, closed his eyes and woke up for a while, then touched the place around him again. The already cold temperature showed that Xia Rong should be It''s been a long time since I woke up. Looking at the sky, because I slept too late last night, I did wake up a little later than usual, but how dare this little husband let himself alone in the vacant room on the first day of the new year, it is really against the sky. Turn over neatly and get out of bed, dress and freshen up, and watch him find that this little guy won''t spank him. When He Miaoshou saw the young master coming out at the door, he hurriedly bowed and told, "Young master, Zheng Jun asked you to wait for him in the front hall and have breakfast together." It turned out that Xia Rong knew about the young master when he came out early in the morning. He couldn''t see that he was in a hurry, so he specifically told He Miao to stand by the door and report. Shen Xiangyan glanced at He Miao, made sure that Xia Rong had nothing else to say, so he responded, and walked to the front hall without saying a word, he wanted to see what his little husband was going to do. He Miao, who was following behind, breathed a sigh of relief, God knows how hairy he was when the young master looked at him just now. The difference between their young master in front of Zhengjun and not in front of Zhengjun is not the slightest bit. When Zhengjun is not around, although the young master looks gentle, but there is such a subterranean aura that these servants dare not make mistakes at all. Only when Zhengjun is around, this master is really good-tempered. The one who felt the deepest was him and his elder brother who were by Zhengjun''s side and served him personally. Every time they were called to answer alone, they had to be more careful. Therefore, this group of servants also do their best to take care of Zhengjun on weekdays, otherwise, there is no need to think about whether this master will let them have no good fruit because of Zhengjun''s mistakes. Shen Xiangyan didn''t know the twists and turns in the minds of this group of servants. After waiting in the front hall for a while, he saw his little husband rushing over, followed by He Xin, who was also carrying a food plate with A bowl of noodles looks pretty good, and there are hard-boiled red eggs in the dishes next to it. Xia Rong was afraid that her husband had been waiting in the front hall for a long time, so she walked quickly all the way, still panting anxiously, Shen Xiangyan gave Xia Rong a breath, told him not to worry, and looked at the things He Xin was carrying. Combined with the memory, it is not difficult to guess Knowing that today should be the original owner''s birthday, Xia Rong didn''t see anyone early in the morning, so she must have prepared these things. "Sister, happy birthday. When Dad is here, he will make a bowl of longevity noodles for Rong''er on Rong''er''s birthday, and cook red eggs for Rong''er." Xia Rong brought the noodles to Shen Xiangyan with his own hands, "You are so kind to Rong''er, Mr. Rong, and Rong''er didn''t know what to give, so she made this too. Please try it, Mr. Xiang." Seeing the little husband''s eyes wide open, with an expression of telling him to eat and drink all over his face, Shen Xiangyan took the chopsticks without pretense and started to eat. Naturally, the noodles are not as good as Rong''s, but my husband''s craftsmanship is also very good. Longevity noodles, as the name suggests, are whole noodles. Shen Xiangyan has been an orphan since he was a child, so he doesn''t know when his birthday is. In his previous life, the day he was picked up by the director of the orphanage was counted as his birthday, but even so he It also never had a birthday. The life in the orphanage is not much better, and there is no extra money for these children to spend their birthdays. He is also solitary. When someone came to adopt him, he stayed far away. He has never felt family affection. Even if he has a few good friends later, no one will naturally appreciate the carefree friendship between men. Care about whether he has his birthday every year or not. This is the first time that there is such a person who cares about him sincerely. Shen Xiangyan finished a bowl of longevity noodles directly. He had heard people say before that it is auspicious not to bite off when eating longevity noodles. Fu Lang made it for him Naturally, he would not waste this thought. It doesn''t matter if his birthday is today from now on, the day that someone cares about is considered a birthday, isn''t it? "My husband''s craftsmanship is really good. Come on, tell my husband, when did you wake up? En?" God knows how anxious he was when he woke up early in the morning and didn''t see the little husband. Nothing major would happen in his own house, and he didn''t go to find someone immediately because of He Miao''s message. "It''s not too early. The noodles were prepared last night. This morning, you just need to roll them into a whole one and cook them in broth." It''s just that he is a bit stupid, and it took him several times to make the noodles. One that is continuous and uniform in thickness, if he hadn''t woken up a little earlier than planned, he would definitely not be able to finish it before Xianggong had breakfast, but seeing his face, he had better not say this. "Sir, you also need to eat eggs. After eating eggs, the year will be smooth and smooth, free from illness and disaster." Seeing Xia Rong''s serious face, Shen Xiangyan peeled off the egg with a smile, bit half of it, and brought the other half to Xia Rong''s mouth, "Then Rong''er also ate half, just like Mr. Yes." Xia Rong smiled and ate the egg with Xianggong, and since then the husband and wife have become more and more intimate, so I don''t need to elaborate. In the third year of junior high school, Chen Cai handed an invitation card to Shen Xiangyan, and Shen Xiangyan took it and read it. The invitation card was to invite Shen Xiangyan to come to Meiyuan for a gathering on the tenth day of junior high school. It turns out that the status of the merchants in Fengyu Country is not as high as that of Huaguo in ancient times. The gathering written in this post is also a tradition of merchants in Furong Town. Once a year, there is a collective gathering of merchants in Minglu. People with some dignity in Furong Town would receive such an invitation, and Shen Xiangyan was considered this year''s upstart, so naturally he also received one. It is said that the plum blossoms in the plum garden are blooming well this year, so the location for this year''s event is also set in the plum garden. In his previous life, although Shen Xiangyan only opened a fragrance studio, he also participated in similar gatherings several times, and it was nothing more than gaining a few contacts through these gatherings. Although Shen Xiangyan didn''t like this kind of behavior in his heart, on the surface he still had to go, and he was new to this place, so he had to do some business. On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Shen Xiangyan took Xia Rong to Li''s house to pay New Year''s greetings. It just so happened that the Li family also received the invitation. Their family had also participated in Furong Town before and had experience. Li Xiangming immediately made a decision to let Shen Xiangyan and Li Dongsheng go with him, so that they could take care of each other. After chatting about the business, the three men drank a little wine and chatted wildly. When they returned home, it was Xia Rong who helped Shen Xiangyan, who smelled of alcohol, get into the carriage. When he was drunk, Shen Xiangyan held Xia Rong''s hand and never let go. He followed Xia Rong wherever he went, even when he was taking a bath, he held Xia Rong''s hand and did not let go. , and finally had to serve the husband to take a bath. This is also Xia Rong''s first time seeing her husband''s naked body. Although the two have always slept together, they still wear obscene clothes when they sleep. Even if they often hug each other, it is only limited to this. This is the first time seeing her man taking off a piece of clothes in front of her, Xia Rong didn''t know where to turn her shy eyes, she wanted to leave him here alone, but who told Shen Xiangyan to drink too much Woolen cloth. The innocent and kind-hearted little rabbit Xia Rong couldn''t let go of her heart, so she just stood there blankly and took a bath. It''s just that he doesn''t know whether Shen Xiangyan is really drunk or is using his drunkenness to play hooligans, even if he is sober, he becomes unconscious. After finally taking a bath, Xia Rong waited on Shen Xiangyan to drink a bowl of hangover soup, and then he was relieved to ask He Xin and He Miao to change the hot water and go take a bath by himself. Xia Rong came back from washing, wearing obscene clothes, with half-dry hair, looking at the husband who was already asleep on the bed, but his big hands were groping on the bed as if looking for something, blushing, and finally went to bed. He got out of bed and lay beside Xianggong. Shen Xiangyan seemed to feel something in his sleep, he hugged Xia Rong immediately, rubbed his chin on the top of his head, said "sleep" in a daze, and fell asleep contentedly. Xia Rong felt it was funny when she saw this series of movements, and boldly kissed him on the mouth, then obediently found a comfortable position in his arms and fell asleep. Chapter 12: Early in the morning on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Xiangyan accompanied Xia Rong to breakfast and then went to Li''s residence. After the three of them got together, they drove to the suburban plum garden in a carriage. As the name suggests, the plum garden is full of plum trees, and it just so happens that the snow is heavy this year, so the plum blossoms in the garden are just right. Sitting in the carriage, Shen Xiangyan thought that it would be great if he went to this garden just to enjoy the scenery, but it''s a pity that with these entertainments involved, even the best scenery can only be used as a foil. The three of them arrived not too early or too late, but as soon as they got off the carriage, they saw a boy who was dressed up "magnificently" admonishing the servant who was following him. I don''t know if I was frozen or scared. When Shen Xiangyan saw that the young man was dressed so special, he took a few more glances. How to describe it, it was the kind of eagerness to wear gold, silver and jewelry all over his body. Not only did he wear three gold rings inlaid with gemstones, but even the hair crown on his head was shining golden. If this image is placed in modern times, it will be a glaring local tyrant dressed up, waiting for someone to steal it. Li Dongsheng also saw that person, and his tone was not without sarcasm, and he said in a low voice, "That''s Zhang Ningyu from the Zhang family in the east, the Zhang family is used to doing some shady business, and shoddy things are very common. I don''t know if it''s because I have done too many bad things. That master Zhang changed two wives and married an unknown number of concubines, but he just couldn''t have a child. It''s really impossible to take such a nephew back as a Son Yang, this person was born in a poor family, and he has never seen anything in the world. Once he entered the Zhang family, it is not like a sparrow turning into a phoenix, but if I say it, he is a mud that cannot support the wall." After hearing this, Shen Xiangyan can be regarded as remembering this character. It is really hard to forget this wonderful aesthetic, and he can''t forget it even if he wants to. The three of them didn''t delay any longer, they exchanged invitations with the young man waiting at the door, and someone led them in. Along the way, the plum blossoms here are indeed blooming well, Shen Xiangyan thought that when he went back, he would definitely fold one and put it in a vase with it in the house. When he arrived at the place, Shen Xiangyan saw that Xia Rong''s father, Xia Xueliang, was also there, so he went over respectfully to say hello to his father-in-law. Xia Xueliang was quite surprised to see him as a son-in-law, and he never thought of this person who thought his family was defeated. can appear here. Shen Xiangyan didn''t care too much about the thoughts of this father-in-law, even if he really had some ideas, he could do nothing with him, so he left after seeing the ceremony. After the whole scene, there were a lot of wine and wine, but Li Xiangming took him and Li Dongsheng to meet many old acquaintances. Although these people can be polite to Shen Xiangyan, not all of them are particularly warm-hearted. After all, he only has a perfume shop under his control now, and even if they produce a few bottles of novel perfumes, they will not be able to catch the eyes of these well-to-do people. . Until the end of the day, before leaving, Shen Xiangyan didn''t forget to break off a particularly good wintersweet and take it back. When they got home, they went directly to the Begonia Courtyard. Shen Xiangyan handed the plum blossom to He Miao, and asked him to find a vase and put it in a vase for his wife to see. He didn''t go to see Xia Rong immediately, but went to take a bath first. On the occasion just now, it was inevitable to invite a lot of people to play the piano and sing songs. This kind of occasion must have some rouge smell, he I felt extremely uncomfortable smelling it myself, so how could I go to see Xia Rong with the smell all over my body. When Xia Rong saw He Miao came in holding a white glazed jade pot spring vase with winter plums in it, she knew that her husband had returned. She heard He Miao said that the plum blossom was specially brought back by her husband, and Xia Rong liked it very much. My husband was not at home all day, and Xia Rong was really bored by herself. I wanted to find a story book to read in the afternoon, but when I saw the image of my husband holding him and reading to him in my head, I was confused. Xia Rong was absent-minded all day long. Xia Rong looked at the plum blossoms, and wanted to go find her husband right away, but when she entered the house, she found him taking a bath. Hearing the sound of water coming out, he remembered the matter that Xianggong dragged him to bathe him when he was drunk a few days ago, so he didn''t want to find someone now, so he sat on the soft bed and prepared to wait for Xianggong to finish his bath. When Shen Xiangyan came out after washing and changing his clothes, he saw Xia Rong leaning on the bed, his small body tucked into a ball, and fell asleep like that. Shen Xiangyan smiled at the corner of his mouth and didn''t intend to wake him up, he was supposed to be waiting for him, but he didn''t know why he fell asleep first, so he walked over with a light step, ready to hug him to bed. Xia Rong, who was in a daze, felt someone approaching, and a familiar smell came. He seemed to be leaning in a familiar embrace, as if it was his husband. Shen Xiangyan saw him leaning in his arms and whispering to him as husband-in-law, but felt his heart was in a mess, and softly comforted him, "Well, it''s me, my husband-in-law, little Rong''er, go on sleeping." Xia Rong, who was sleeping, heard a familiar voice, and then Leaning in this person''s arms, he let himself fall asleep like this. When Xia Rong woke up the next day, she found that she was sleeping on a bed instead of a couch, and vaguely remembered that her husband carried him up last night. Not only that, but now he is wrapping around his husband like an octopus. Xia Rong bit her lip, thinking whether to move her legs away from Xianggong''s body, and was afraid that he would wake him up if he moved, so she was very entangled. Before it was all right, he would sleep with his arms around him at most, but now Not only was he hugging her with both hands, but even his legs were wrapped around her. I don''t know if Xianggong will think his behavior is too frivolous when he wakes up. A normal man couldn''t help his husband moving around on his body early in the morning. Shen Xiangyan endured it for a while, but seeing that the person on him was still dishonest, he simply turned over and overwhelmed him, and kissed him hard for a while. After a year, Xia Rong was already fifteen years old. When Shen Xiangyan turned over and got out of bed, he still thought that he could bear this kind of thing for another year at most. Looking at the dull-faced person kissed by him, Shen Xiangyan gently put on the clothes for him. pick up clothes. "Yesterday, I heard from brother Dongsheng that there will be a lantern festival on the fifteenth Lantern Festival night. Does Xia Rong want to go?" Xia Rong came back to her senses, her big eyes blinked, full of anticipation, "Think, Mr. Xiang, will you take Rong''er there?" "Since Rong''er wants to go so much, Rong''er should give me some benefits if my husband takes you there." Shen Xiangyan put his shoes on and asked with a smile. Originally, he wanted to take Rong''er. But seeing his appearance of being bullied by him, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t help but want to continue teasing him. Xia Rong thought for a while, and Xianggong seemed to like kissing him very much, so she raised her toes and quickly kissed Shen Xiangyan''s chin, "The benefits you want... um..." Shen Xiangyan held his head with one hand after he finished speaking , then his mouth was gagged again, and his slippery tongue pushed in domineeringly, Xia Rong whimpered twice, and then thought of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day, so he relaxed and let him continue. As soon as it got dark for the Lantern Festival, Shen Xiangyan led the excited Xia Rong out of the house. "Rong''er, there are too many people, you must hold my hand tightly, you know?" Xia Rong looked at the two people''s hands that were intertwined, with frowned eyebrows, and nodded in agreement, "Understood, my husband, please calm down, Rong''er will definitely not run around." The two of them walked all the way, and saw all kinds of gadgets and snacks on the stalls on both sides, which was very lively. The two walked to a stall selling lanterns, and seeing Xia Rong staring at a delicate and cute rabbit lantern, Shen Xiangyan saw that he liked it, so he bought it for him. Xia Rong held the rabbit lantern in one hand, and smiled brightly while hugging his arm in the other. Shen Xiangyan smiled more tenderly seeing him happy. After buying the rabbit lantern, Shen Xiangyan took Xiao Rong''er to eat a lot of roadside snacks, such as glutinous rice balls, small clove wontons, cold silver pan and so on. Although these folk snacks are not as exquisite as those in the house, they still have their own deliciousness. In short, Xia Rong eats with a happy face. Chapter 13: The two of them stood on the side of the road and had just finished eating a pair of crystal peach blossom buns when they saw Li Dongsheng leading his wife, Mrs. Li, walking towards this side through the crowd. People, "Hey, the younger brother of the Shen family, are you bringing your sister-in-law to visit the Lantern Market?" Seeing that they were acquaintances, Xia Rong obediently said hello to the Li family couple and then hid behind her husband. Shen Xiangyan knew that he was shy, so he turned his face to help him block Li Dongsheng''s gossip-filled gaze. "Brother Dongsheng didn''t bring his wife to visit the Lantern Market?" The tone was always gentle, but the meaning of the words was clearly saying that the two should not laugh at each other. Li Dongsheng coughed lightly and didn''t answer the question, "Let''s go to Yaoyue Building together. I booked a private room on the third floor there. I''ve inquired about it. There will be fireworks in a while. That place is high. Look at it." Also clear." Shen Xiangyan thought about the location of the Yaoyue Tower, it was indeed a good place to watch the fireworks. And I heard that the seven-color glutinous rice **** there are quite famous, and I can let the little husband try it, so the four of them walked towards the Yaoyue Tower together. When we arrived at the Yaoyue Building, we found that Yihuo was already full of people. Fortunately, Li Dongsheng had the foresight to reserve the private room in advance. Under the leadership of Xiaoer, the four of them entered the private room. There were four doors on the outer wall of the private room that were opened wide. The windows are open, and the view is just right from the height of the window. The two men in charge of the house ate the dishes and ordered a pot of Mingyuelou''s special pomegranate wine. While drinking, they chatted about their business dealings. Naturally, Xia Rong couldn''t understand these things, and it was difficult for him to talk to Mrs. Li, after all, he was a twin, and he couldn''t get too close to women. Using a spoon to stir the colorful glutinous rice **** in the bowl, Xianggong took him to eat a lot just now, even though the colorful glutinous rice **** looked really good, he couldn''t eat any more now. Looking at the fireworks flying out of the window, sometimes it looks like a goddess scattering flowers, and sometimes it dances like a butterfly. Xia Rong didn''t feel bored, but was quite happy. In the past, he could only sit in his small courtyard and watch the fireworks, but he never thought that he would have the opportunity to come out to watch the fireworks after he got married. Seeing his husband in a daze looking at the fireworks outside, Shen Xiangyan smiled and put his arms around his shoulders, asking him to feed him the glutinous rice **** in the bowl. Seeing that Xia Rong was a little embarrassed because of outsiders, Shen Xiangyan didn''t make things difficult for him, and took one with his hand and put it in his mouth with a spoon. What he talked with Li Dongsheng just now was also about opening a branch of his own incense shop. The Li family happened to have a line in his hand. He thought of using the Li family shop to transport the spices to himself. Of course, it was not in vain. The money still needs a lot of money, and the brothers have to settle accounts clearly. This kind of thing should be agreed in advance so that the relationship between the two families will not be damaged because of this kind of thing. Looking down at Xia Rong''s beautiful side face and the exposed white neck, taking advantage of Li Dongsheng and his wife''s attention being out of the window, he quickly kissed the cheeks that became more rosy during this time. When Xia Rong realized what he was doing, she stared at him with big eyes filled with disapproval, and she didn''t even look at where this place was. manage. Shen Xiangyan looked at his little face that was flushed from embarrassment, and didn''t feel how fierce he was staring at others. Instead, it was because his cheeks were flushed that he lost his momentum when staring at others, and even revealed a trace of coquettishness that he didn''t have in normal times. . But Xia Rong is really like a kitten. When she first got married, she was very cautious. After a long time, she used her paws to poke around and test his bottom line. He had no doubt that in the process he With a hint of impatience, the kitten will withdraw its paws and stop probing. Fortunately for him, what he lacked most was patience. Seeing him dare to stare at him now, he just felt like being scratched by a kitten, numb and itchy. Shen Xiangyan adjusted the direction of his body to make sure that the Li couple could not see him, and then kissed Xia Rong''s pale pink lips again. After all, he didn''t dare to go too far outside, but seeing how daring he was, He didn''t dare to say anything, and he wanted to bully him even more. Seeing that the little husband was going to blow his hair, Shen Xiangyan hurriedly comforted him, "Okay, I won''t bother you anymore, and it will be over if I don''t watch the fireworks." Smiling, he pulled Xia Rong into his arms, deliberately keeping his lips very close to his ears His words made his ears turn red before he stopped. The fireworks outside fell from the sky like colorful fireflies, he thought that he would always pamper him so much, give him the best, let him learn to play with his temper and even lose his temper with him. That''s the best, so that he can''t do without himself for the rest of his life. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Shen Xiangyan has been very busy recently, and Xia Rong could only see her husband for several days in a row, even when he fell asleep in bed the last two nights, before he came back, as if he felt him hugging her in his sleep, He was so sleepy that he couldn''t open his eyes, and when he woke up the next day, he was nowhere to be seen. After asking He Xin and He Miao, he was sure that he really came back, but he went out again early. Xia Rong sat on the soft bed and ate the cakes made by Rong''s. Rong really put a lot of thought into this kind of snacks. The ones brought here today are all in the shape of animals, such as little rabbits, little tigers, little Pigs of all kinds. Xia Rong looked at the plate of dim sum, each one was very good-looking, he was a bit reluctant to eat it, after hesitating for a while, he still took a piece of bunny, bit off the rabbit''s ear as a prank, and ate it As soft and chewy as imagined, with moderate sweetness, Xia Rong narrowed her eyes happily. Xia Rong was holding the snack plate, playing with the agate chess pieces scattered on the bed, these are the agate chess pieces scattered on the bed, these are the ones my husband found for him to play with, because he is afraid that he is too busy recently to have time to accompany him, not only this, but also the box of small story books under the bed , the Kong Mingsuo and Jiulianhuan on the table were found for him by the husband recently. He knew that Xianggong was very busy recently. First, the owner of the chess club next to Xiangzilai quit. Xianggong bought that shop directly, opened up the two shops, and refurbished the chess club that was reopened. He went with him. I have seen it once, and now the Xiangzilai store is much more spacious and the business is better. Next, Xianggong said that there are a lot of spices to be picked in Fucui Mountain and the nearby mountains. For several days, Xianggong took people up the mountain to see it. Every time he came back, he looked very tired and said that he would buy it if possible. mountain. There is also the need to recruit new people for the store and open a branch. Even the family has recently had more servants to serve him. As a result, there have been more people in Shen''s house, which was originally empty. Now there are only He Xin and He Miao who serve him. Two, plus a dozen or so nurses and little girls in charge. Xia Rong also told Xianggong that he has nothing to do for a day, and he doesn''t need so many people to wait on him, which is too wasteful. But Xianggong refused to listen to what he said, saying that he would be relieved if there were more people serving him, and Xia Rong didn''t say much after hearing it. In fact, for Shen Xiangyan, servants are really worthless in this place. A little girl in Guanya is only five taels of silver. Xia Rong now changes clothes, jewelry, and things he uses every once in a while. The servants are much more expensive, but how could he tell Xia Rong so much. He made money just to make Xia Rong''s life better, not to mention that he was not short of food for these servants, he was always away from home recently, and he would feel more at ease when there were more people outside. When Shen Xiangyan came back from the outside, he didn''t tell anyone, and went straight back to Haitang Courtyard. Xia Rong was lying on the soft bed and taking a nap, and now the weather is getting hot, because Xia Rong was sleeping on the soft bed wearing a moon-white gauze gown with willow leaf patterns on the neckline because she was greedy for the cold. , There were still many agate chess pieces scattered on the couch, a head of jet-black hair was scattered between the pillows, and the small blanket that was originally covering the body was also kicked to the ground by Xia Rong who was asleep. Shen Xiangyan frowned, why would he like to kick the quilt while sleeping with a child? Although it''s hot now, it''s okay to fall asleep without covering it up. It''s good to have him take care of you when you sleep at night. He''s not at home during the day. Those little girls don''t know, and neither do He Xin and He Miao. point. In fact, this was wronged to He Xin and He Miao. Xia Rong didn''t like them to take a nap by her side. They wanted to stay, but Xia Rong refused to let them. do things. He Xin and He Miao had no choice but to watch outside the house, listening to the movement in the house at any time. Shen Xiangyan was really uncomfortable looking at Xia Rong''s clothes. The gauze was soft and cool to wear, but the material was indeed a bit see-through, not to mention such a light color, the closer he got, the more clearly he could see it. He pulled the blanket over for Xia Rong. Rong covered him, fearing that he would sleep uncomfortable on the soft bed, so he leaned over and picked up Xia Rong, and put him on the bed carefully not to wake him up. When Xia Rong woke up, she found herself lying on her husband''s strong chest. It turned out that Shen Xiangyan was really tired these two days. Seeing that Xia Rong was sleeping soundly, he changed his clothes and went to bed and took a nap with Xia Rong. When Xia Rong woke up, Shen Xiangyan was still asleep. Looking at the sleeping husband, Xia Rong couldn''t help stretching out her hand to describe his face, whether it was the two sword eyebrows, the tightly closed eyes, or the tall nose bridge and slightly thin lips. Lips, he thought they were pretty. He knew Xianggong''s good looks on the first day of marriage, but after so long, he should be used to the looks, but the more he looked at them, the more he liked them. Couldn''t bear to wake him up, Xia Rong just stared at him obsessively, he hadn''t seen his husband for a few days, now when he woke up, he was very happy to see him, the person who used to accompany him suddenly wasn''t by his side , he is still not used to it. When Shen Xiangyan opened his eyes, he saw Xia Rong leaning on his arm looking at him, stretched out his hand to smooth his hair, and asked with a smile, "Rong''er misses me." Xia Rong heard him ask so gently if she thought about him, and when she thought of not seeing her husband these few days, her eyes turned red unconsciously, "Yes, every time Rong''er wakes up, she won''t see her husband." Wronged, of course he missed him, how could he not want to, he didn''t want Xianggong to see him in such a shameful state, he buried his head in the quilt and said sullenly. Chapter 14: Seeing his aggrieved appearance, Shen Xiangyan immediately felt distressed. It was too late to pamper and pamper him, but it turned out that the reason for his unhappiness was himself. He also knew that he was too busy recently to spend time with him. However, there are too few people available under his command now, and Shen An has also been transferred to the newly opened shop by himself, and even Chen Cai and Feng Qin, two and a half big boys, have been ordered around by him, so it is natural for him as the master It''s not much better, but fortunately, he has promoted a few recently, and it will come in handy if he learns slowly. He came back so early today because he thought that the little husband hadn''t seen him for a long time, so he must be in a hurry, so he squeezed out for such a long time. Fortunately, things are about to come to an end. Sighing, he picked up the little husband and put him on his lap. Looking at Xia Rong''s more delicate face, he kissed the eyes that were about to cry, " Rong''er is good, Xianggong misses you too, Xianggong promised to take you out to play after you finish working these few days, don''t you always want to go to Foguang Temple to offer incense, then Xianggong will take you there." Although Xia Rong felt aggrieved, she knew in her heart that Xianggong was busy with business, and also knew that Xianggong worked so hard to make her life better. Hearing that Xianggong wanted to turn around to coax him, she felt more and more uncomfortable. Well, the more I thought about it, the more I felt guilty, so that my husband would no longer worry about me, I followed my husband''s smile and said, "Then my husband and Rong''er have agreed to take Rong''er out in a few days." In fact, Xia Rong didn''t care if he could go out or not, he didn''t feel uncomfortable with being in the small courtyard for so many years in the Xia family, what he really cared about was whether Xianggong could accompany him or not. "Okay, okay, when did my husband go back on what he promised you?" Shen Xiangyan quickly agreed, and by the way, hugged Xia Rong''s waist tightly, and told him about the interesting things he encountered during this period to divert Xia Rong''s attention Seeing that Xia Rong was finally a little happier, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Xia Rong would cry like this just now, so he couldn''t help feeling sorry for him to death. While the two were talking, Shen Xiangyan was unconsciously attracted by the soft touch of his subordinates who were only separated by a layer of gauze. He didn''t pay attention just now because he was anxious to make Xia Rong happy, but now his husband is in his arms. Can''t help but get distracted. Xia Rong''s body is not as stiff as his, but rather soft, because the body that has been raised a lot after more than half a year of careful maintenance is very comfortable to hold now. Shen Xiangyan wanted to bear it, but seeing that small mouth opening and closing seriously talking to him, he couldn''t bear it anymore, he lowered his head and kissed those soft lips, and his hands were on Xia Rong''s body. Knead it honestly. Xia Rong was startled by his sudden kiss, and just about to reach out to push her, she realized that it was his husband-in-law who treated her like this, and it was not like she had never been kissed like this before, so she wrapped her arms around his neck instead, trying to Get used to it a little bit. Shen Xiangyan didn''t wake up until he felt a tightness in his lower abdomen. Seeing the tenderness of the little man in his arms being bullied by him, he hurriedly left a sentence, "I''m going to take a bath." Then he fled and quickly jumped out of bed. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª On this day, the sky was clear and blue, and the clouds were not stained. Two carriages stopped at the foot of the mountain where Foguang Temple is located. First, a man in a brocade robe embroidered with cloud patterns in bamboo blue and a white jade hair crown jumped out of the carriage. Ruyu''s temperament like a spring breeze attracted the curious eyes of many people present. I saw that the man did not leave after getting off the carriage. Instead, he carried out a pair of children wearing a crescent white embroidered bamboo pattern robe from the carriage. Seeing this scene, he knew that the two were husband and wife, which made many people present The unmarried woman and Shuang''er who wanted to know which family this was just now were suddenly disappointed. Xia Rong blushed when she was carried off the carriage. Whether it was outside or not far from the temple, he didn''t know what to say about his husband. Thinking of his more and more intimate behavior recently, The little face that was already red turned even redder. Because the sun was too big, he was afraid that Xia Rong would be sunburned, so Shen Xiangyan took the umbrella from He Xin''s hand and opened it for his husband himself, "Rong''er, is it too hot, why is your face so red?" This was simply asking the question knowingly, Xia Rong pinched Shen Xiangyan''s waist angrily. Shen Xiangyan was not annoyed either, he purposely let out an "Ouch" and cried out that it hurts. It was also the first time for Xia Rong to pinch someone like this. Hearing the husband''s cry of pain now, he really thought that he was in pain, so he hurriedly started to rub his hand. But as soon as he looked up, he saw his husband looking at him with a smile on his face. There was no pain on his face. He knew that he must be bullying him again, so he didn''t intend to pay attention to him, turned around and walked up the mountain. Shen Xiangyan saw his face bulging with anger, and thought he was extremely cute, fearing that Xia Rong would really get sunburned, he hurriedly followed him while holding an umbrella for him, while coaxing him in a warm voice to stop being angry. In hot weather, getting angry and being careful for a while is uncomfortable. Xia Rong heard that the servants in the family said that Foguang Temple is particularly effective, so she always wanted to come here to make a wish, and to ask for a safe blessing for her husband. It¡¯s just that if you want to get to Foguang Temple, you need to climb a section of the mountain road. In order to appear sincere, you didn¡¯t call the sedan chair, so the husband and wife climbed the mountain step by step side by side, followed by He Xin, He Miao, and a few guards recently hired by the family. . Xia Rong was a little tired when he climbed halfway, Shen Xiangyan saw how hard he was climbing, so he pulled him to rest on the nearby rocks, but he ran into Xia''s mother and daughter. Xia Rong saw the mother and daughter, although he felt that it was a bit disappointing to come out and meet them, but after all, he came from Xia''s mansion, so he respectfully bowed to Xia''s mother, "I didn''t expect to meet them. Mother and sister, how is father recently?" Seeing Xia Rong''s grandeur now, Xia Tian felt that he was showing off like her, and suddenly felt unhappy, and just about to step forward to say something, but was stopped by her mother. Xia Tian looked at Shen Xiangyan who was a few steps away, and rolled his eyes. This man was supposed to be his, and Xia Rong was just the one who robbed her. No more rushing to speak. "Young master is still filial. Your father is very good. He mentioned you a while ago, saying that he asked you to go back to the house to see if you have nothing to do." Xia Rong knew that his mother used to talk about these scenes, so he didn''t pay much attention to it. It''s strange that his father still thought of him. Shen Xiangyan also went up to meet Xia''s mother at this time, and called out "Mother-in-law." They were polite again, Shen Xiangyan didn''t want to chat with them, so he found an excuse to take Xia Rong to the mountain first gone. Seeing those two people leaving, several servants who followed hurriedly followed. Xia Tian couldn''t help complaining to his mother, "Mom, why didn''t you let me talk just now, then Xia Rong would be ashamed to put on airs in front of me, and don''t see that I gave him his current body." Thinking of seeing that Shen family just now, I have never seen it close before, and he looked really good just now, thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little hot on my face. I also thought about gathering with my little sisters these days, talking about what kind of new perfume Xiangzilai released, who bought it, and how it tasted. Now think about it, if she married Shen Xiangyan back then, could she just use those things casually? . And looking at Xia Rong''s outfit today, the Shen family should be quite rich now, so they can afford his kind of life. Li Lanzhi saw her daughter''s appearance, she was her mother after all, why didn''t she know what she was thinking. Thinking about it, there is only Shen Xiangyan in the Shen family now, and there is no in-laws to wait on. Now that I think about it, it is really a good marriage, which is really a pity. After thinking about her daughter''s appearance, she patted her head, "How can I say these things in front of that kid from the Shen family, mother can ask you, but regretted pushing the Shen family''s marriage at the beginning? " "That was originally my daughter''s thing." Xia Tian said unconvinced, "It''s good now, Xia Rong has taken such a big advantage for nothing, mother, you have to let father make the decision for me." Li Lanzhi thought about it and there was no other way, so she comforted her daughter a few words, telling her not to act blindly, and just let her arrange everything. Chapter 15: Shen Xiangyan and Xia Rong took another break before climbing up the mountain. The incense in Foguang Temple is very strong, and there is an endless stream of people who come here every year to burn incense and worship Buddha. After entering the main hall, a golden Buddha statue came into view. Seeing Xia Rong kneeling in front of the Buddha statue devoutly offering incense and making a wish, Shen Xiangyan also bowed three times along with him. He has never believed in Buddha, but his situation It is clear that it is to bring the dead back to life, and he cannot tolerate his disbelief. Kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, Shen Xiangyan sincerely thanked God for giving him this opportunity, allowing him to come back from the dead and find someone in this place who can spend his life with him, but this is enough, he is still the one who only believes in Of course, he would not make any wishes to the Buddha. The most important thing for him was Rong''er, and Rong''er''s life''s peace and joy would also be given by him. After burning incense, Xia Rong tugged on the gentleman''s sleeve and asked him to wait for him in front of the hall. Shen Xiangyan stood in front of the hall and waited for Xia Rong as promised, but after standing there for a while, he saw an old monk with a benevolent face walking steadily towards him, and saluted with one hand in front of him, "Amitabha." Shen Xiangyan also He saluted the monk back. "The poor monk''s dharma name is very lonely. I see that the benefactor is destined for me. I wonder if I would like to accompany the poor monk to his residence for a cup of tea." Listening to Shen Xiangyan''s words, if it wasn''t for this place, he would have thought he had encountered a charlatan, so after thinking about it, he agreed, and followed Master Jinji to his residence, but he didn''t forget to leave a person waiting for Zhengjun, so that Xia Rong came back to look for him and couldn''t find any worries. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª After talking with Xianggong, Xia Rong ran to the temple to fill in some incense money, and begged for a blessing, and then she was satisfied and prepared to go back to find Xianggong, but halfway was stopped by the little girl next to Xia''s mother, Xia Rong was heartbroken. He was puzzled, but since his mother sent someone to look for him, it was not easy to refuse. Seeing Xia Rong and the others approaching, Madam Yu went up to invite them into the room. After entering the room, Mrs. Xia saw that Xia Rong was going to salute her, and personally stepped forward to help him up, "You child, why do you see me like this?" In addition, those who are still saluting with their own mothers, come sit down and talk to mothers." Faced with Xia''s mother who suddenly made a lot of affection, Xia Rong felt a little wary in her heart. His mother had always been very indifferent to him, and she didn''t know what to say to him today. He was originally not good at talking in scenes, and now he didn''t know how to reply, so he answered "yes" in a low voice and stopped talking. Mrs. Xia didn''t mind his appearance, so she asked Nanny Yu to bring him a cup of tea, and said softly, "Since I let you go to Shen''s house, your father and I couldn''t sleep well every night. Your first sister is not in good health, and your father and I really dote on her, fearing that she will marry too early and be unfit for her husband''s family, that''s why I decided to let you wait to marry." Xia Rong bowed her head and listened to this, her heart skipped a beat, not knowing why her mother suddenly brought up this matter. Mrs. Xia paused and continued, "During this time, your father and I often think about the time we discussed marriage with the Shen family, and we also feel ashamed of the Shen family. Although your father and I are still reluctant, we finally decided to send your sister-in-law Get married, so that your father and I can feel more at ease." After hearing her mother''s words, Xia Rong raised her head and widened her eyes in disbelief, "Mother, then I..." Xia Rong was about to continue, but was interrupted by Madam Xia holding her hand, "Mother knows that she has wronged you, but don''t worry, your first sister will not treat you badly when she gets married, don''t you two have a companion together?" After hearing this, Xia Rong withdrew her hand from Mrs. Xia''s hand. Thinking that Xianggong would marry someone else, she felt that there was a place in her heart that had been dug out. Tightening his sleeves, he still plucked up the courage to say seriously to Mother Xia, "Mother, my husband said he would only want me alone, so naturally he wouldn''t marry his sister-in-law." After hearing this, Mrs. Xia took a sip of tea unhurriedly, "Silly boy, not to mention that it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but even a man would want to marry a woman as his wife, don''t you miss you?" Can''t you hold your head up all the time when you''re outside? Don''t worry, as long as you nod your head, your husband won''t say anything." Mrs. Xia only thinks that he is still a child. How could it be possible for a man to say that he is only you alone, otherwise where would Xia Rong come from. The fingers tugging at the sleeves trembled unconsciously. What he feared most was being told. He himself was a twin, which couldn''t be changed. The husband loved him, but did he really not want to marry a woman? If it wasn''t for the situation at the time Forced, the husband will not marry him. Mrs. Xia didn''t expect to convince him immediately, she had arranged for Xia Tian to meet Shen Xiangyan, and if he took Xia Rong for a walk later, and happened to meet the two behaving intimately, there was no room for his disbelief. Seeing Mother Yu gesture to her, Mrs. Xia knew that it was arranged, so she got up and tidied up her clothes, "I heard that there is a forest behind this temple with a nice view, young master, please walk with me." Xia Rong''s heart is in a mess now, and she doesn''t know what Xia''s mother said, and he didn''t resist when he saw someone trying to drag him away. Here, Shen Xiangyan drank a few cups of tea made by himself in the very lonely room, and the two chatted happily. This master very lonely turned out to be the apprentice of the abbot of Foguang Temple, and finally got two strings of Buddhist beads from him. When he got out of the house, he saw a young man running towards him. The young man introduced himself as Xia''s mother''s side, and said that Xia Rong was looking for him in a hurry, so he sent him to call him over. When Shen Xiangyan heard that his baby was looking for him, he hurriedly followed without caring about anything else. While walking, he asked the boy what was going on, but the boy only said that he was sent to look for him, but he hesitated when asked anything else. I didn''t say anything, Shen Xiangyan didn''t feel right when he heard the boy''s reply, even if Xia Rong had something to look for him, why didn''t he send the people around him to look for him, instead it was a boy next to Xia''s mother. Thinking that this matter must not be so simple, Shen Xiangyan unconsciously paid more attention to it, but after all, this matter is uncertain, what if his family''s Rong''er really came to him, so he followed the boy quietly. . Here Mother Xia took Xia Rong to walk in the forest for a while, and when she was about to reach a pavilion, she heard Xia Xia''s voice coming from the pavilion, "You said someone sent you to invite me over, why haven''t you seen anyone yet?" "Miss, please wait a moment, my master will be here soon." A little girl replied. Mother Xia smiled and said to Nanny Yu, "Let''s wait here, I''m also curious to know who invited Ji Ji to our family, my mother will be annoyed if Ji Ji goes by now." Mother Yu also smiled when she heard Xia''s mother say this, and they waited under the cover of a forest. Xia Rong was wondering why his sister-in-law met with these people, but Xia''s mother didn''t stop her, what if it was a foreigner with Xia''s reputation who came. Just thinking about the sound of footsteps coming from the other side of the forest, and a man''s voice, "Is the promised beauty here?" The man quickly entered the pavilion in three steps and two steps, and when Xia Tian''s scolding came from the pavilion When the voice came out, Mother Xia''s face was already ashen, "Hurry up and bring Miss here." The distance is a bit far, Xia Tian can''t see the man''s face clearly, but the golden hair crown on his head can be seen from such a distance. Xia Rong didn''t know why she watched the farce before she could react, so she was pulled away by a hand with a thin callus, which was a familiar touch, and she didn''t need to guess to know it was her husband. After taking his husband''s hand and saying goodbye to Mrs. Xia, the two left the forest. Originally, they planned to lead Xia Rong out this time to relax, but there was such a commotion. Otherwise, he would have entered Mrs. Xia''s game. Looking at the sky, it was too late to go down the mountain. Shen Xiangyan explained to the monk here that he wanted to stay overnight, and the monk arranged a guest room for them as usual. The room conditions for pilgrims in the temple are naturally not much better, but after all, in a pure place of Buddhism, everything can only be kept simple. Before coming here, he heard that the vegetarian dishes in the temple were good, so Shen Xiangyan ordered He Xin to go and get some. They were common cabbage, radishes, fungus, etc., but they were finely cooked. Shen Xiangyan looked at Xia Rong who was sitting across from him with a worried look on his face, handed him a bowl of white rice and said, "Rong Er, try it, I heard that the vegetarian dishes here are not bad." Xia Rong tasted it and thought it tasted pretty good, but because of what Xia''s mother said just now, he really didn''t have any appetite, so he couldn''t eat the rice in the bowl with chopsticks, and Shen Xiangyan didn''t say anything. One mouthful was ready to be fed to Xia Rong. Seeing that Xianggong wants to feed him, he is not a child of what age, Xia Rong is really embarrassed, and wants to grab the bowl from Xianggong''s hand and eat it by himself, "Xianggong, I will do it myself." Shen Xiangyan didn''t care about his refusal, "Hey, open your mouth." Seeing a chopstick of fungus sticking to her mouth, Xia Rong had no choice but to open her mouth to eat. The two of you ate half a bowl of rice, and Shen Xiangyan finally Let him go. After eating, Shen Xiangyan asked the servants to clean up. Then Shen Xiangyan picked up Xia Rong, let him sit on his lap and asked, "What''s on Rong''er''s mind? Can you tell my husband?" Xia Rong is already used to the posture of sitting on the lap of the lord, she moved to find the most comfortable position and stopped moving, leaning in the arms of the lord, Xia Rong couldn''t help but wonder if the lord would hug others like this He didn''t want Xianggong to be someone else''s, but if he said this, would Xianggong think that he was jealous of his husband, and he would not like him in the future? He was really not sure whether to say it or not. "Rong''er, we are husband and wife, and we will live forever. I can''t guess what you are thinking all the time, right? If you have something to say to me, of course I will tell you directly , so that there will be no unnecessary misunderstanding between the two of us." Shen Xiangyan slid down Xia Rong''s back, and softly told him the way a husband and wife should get along. Chapter 16: Xia Rong calmed down a little bit under Xianggong''s words, and after thinking about it, she still said what was in her heart, "Xianggong, will you marry your sister-in-law?" Seeing that Xia Rong asked about this matter, Shen Xiangyan also restrained his expression and replied sternly, "No, the husband will only have you alone, not only will he not marry your sister-in-law, but he will not marry anyone else." Xia Rong felt a lot better when she heard what Xianggong said, and she continued to ask uneasy, "Then, doesn''t Xianggong want to marry a woman?" Hear the answer. Shen Xiangyan naturally didn''t want to, but the original owner of this body came to ask for marriage in the summer, this can''t be regarded as not happening, after thinking about it, "I don''t want to, it was because of the order of my parents and the words of the matchmaker that I came to ask for marriage. But When I saw you married, I didn¡¯t think about it. At that time, you were wearing a wedding dress. You were so pitiful. I just thought how could there be such a person in the world, and wanted to be protected by someone so that he wouldn¡¯t suffer any grievances. "Speaking of this, Shen Xiangyan lifted Xia Rong''s chin, and the two of them pressed their foreheads against each other''s foreheads, letting each other look into their own eyes, "Rong''er, I only want you alone, whether you are a twin or a woman, I want you It''s just you, understand?" Xia Rong saw herself in those eyes, only her shadow. Xia Rong finally smiled happily, her heart no longer felt pain, instead it was a little sweet, and the sweetness spread quickly, filling the whole atrium. Seeing that Xia Rong understood his intentions, Shen Xiangyan straightened Zheng Xia Rong''s body, and separated the two of them today with a serious face. He first went to Master Zhenji to drink tea, and when he came out, he was called by the servant next to Xia''s mother. After leaving, he realized that something was wrong with the boy, and met the young master of Zhang''s mansion on the road. When he entered the forest, he found out that it was not Xia Rong who was looking for him, and how he designed Zhang Ningyu to go to the pavilion instead of him to meet Xia Tian. Xia Rong was shocked when she heard this. It turned out that the two of them almost stepped into the trap set by Xia''s mother today. He remembered what Xia''s mother said just now. As a result, I couldn''t help but feel cold all over. Shen Xiangyan hugged Xia Rong a little tighter, "Rong''er, I just want you to know that you are not a simple mother. Next time, you will never be able to. Don''t believe what she says, let you make the decision." , you just need to push them all to me." Speaking of this, Shen Xiangyan stroked Xia Rong''s soft hair, "For the rest, Rong''er just needs to trust me." Xia Rong was moved, and quickly nodded in agreement. Seeing his appearance, Shen Xiangyan smiled in satisfaction. As for the Xia family, as long as there is no problem with his relationship with Xia Rong, there is nothing to be afraid of. "Rong''er, do you think your husband treats you well?" After finishing the business, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t help but want to tease Xia Rong. Xia Rong nodded vigorously, "My husband treats Rong''er the best." "Then Xianggong is so kind to you, shouldn''t Rong''er give him a reward?" She poked her face forward as she spoke, clearly wanting Xia Rong to kiss him. After being married for so long, although Xia Rong is still a little confused about the love between men and women, she is very familiar with kissing. After all, people who are hugged and kissed every day will understand it. Under the cajoling of her husband, Xia Rong forgot her shyness for a moment, raised her head and pressed a kiss on his husband''s lips. Because of the young husband''s initiative, Shen Xiangyan''s whole heart fluttered. After reminiscing about the cool and soft touch just now, he always felt that it was not enough, so he kissed the place that made his heart flutter regardless. past. After this not-so-gentle kiss ended, both of them were a little out of breath. Xia Rong stretched out her arms and hugged Xianggong''s neck, buried her whole face on Xianggong''s shoulder, and asked in a shy voice, "Xiaogong, why hasn''t Rong''er had a baby for so long? Rong''er is already a year older, but she still doesn''t have one." Shen Xiangyan was choked by the little husband''s question. The husband is still a child at heart. It seems that no one taught him this before he got married. Yes, he rubbed his brows and cleared his throat in embarrassment, "Rong''er before she got married , has no one ever told you about that kind of thing?" Xia Rong was a little puzzled, and asked inexplicably, "What is it?" "That''s right, it''s about the bridal chamber." Xia Rong thought of the picture book that his mother gave him before he got married and told him to read it carefully, but he only turned a page, and blushed unconsciously. Could it be that this is what Xianggong asked, the kind of painting that makes people undressed when they take off their clothes? The embarrassing picture, how can I read it, Xia Rong stammered about the picture book. Shen Xiangyan looked at Xia Rong with a headache. It was the first time that he really complained about the irresponsibility of the people in Xia Mansion, but there was a hint of joy and excitement in his heart. His little husband was like a green fruit. It was the beast who was waiting for this fruit to ripen, thinking that he could make this fruit ripen with his own hands, "Then when I get home, Rong''er will find out the picture book, and Xianggong will look at it with you, okay?" In fact, Xia Rong was also full of curiosity about that picture book, but she didn''t dare to read it. Now, although Xianggong asked such a question, although he was a little shy, he nodded slightly and agreed. Seeing that he agreed, Shen Xiangyan was a little bit elated. The two got bored for a while, and then Shen Xiangyan wanted to turn off the lights, and was about to go to bed with Xia Rong in his arms. But Xia Rong suddenly thought of something, pulled Shen Xiangyan to prevent him from turning off the lights, and handed over the blessing of peace that he asked for earlier to Shen Xiangyan, "Sir, please keep this close to your body. I heard that the blessing of safety in Foguang Temple is very effective." Shen Xiangyan took the blessing of peace, traced it carefully with his fingers, and then took out a purse from his clothes. This purse was embroidered by Xia Rong for him, and the style was still the one he had chosen to embroider orchids with a lake-blue edge on a white background. Shen Xiangyan carefully put the amulet into his purse and put it close to his body, then kissed Xia Rong''s fair and tender face, and said happily, "I didn''t expect my husband to care about me so much. Don''t worry, Ping An Fu will definitely be close to me in the future Put it away." He took out the two strings of Buddhist beads that Jiji gave him before from his clothes, and handed them to Xia Rong, "This is from Master Shiji, Rong''er, take it away and play with it." He is an eminent monk, many people can''t ask for his Buddhist beads, and now Shen Xiangyan casually throws them to Xia Rong as a plaything. If someone who cares hears this, I don''t know if he will be depressed to death. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The atmosphere of the husband and wife over there is not good. The summer mother threw a teacup at the boy kneeling below angrily, "Idiot, I can''t handle such a small matter, what do I need you for?" The hot tea The boy who poured water was covered all over, and the boy who was frightened trembled all over. "Madam, calm down, don''t get angry." Madam Yu saw that Madam Xia was so angry, she hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, "This matter also has the problem of the old slave, and it was also improperly arranged by the old slave." Because of Mammy Yu''s actions, Mrs. Xia was relieved from the gaffe just now, "I don''t blame Mammy, it''s because the kid from the Shen family is too smart to let him escape this disaster." Sighing, she asked again, "How is it, miss?" Mammy Yu just came back after visiting the young lady, "The young lady lost her temper for a while when she came back, and punished one of the attendants, but the old slave had already fallen asleep when she came back. There are still people to investigate, and broke into today The person who went there was picked up by the Zhang family from the countryside the year before last, what do you think Madam should do?" "A wild boy who doesn''t know where he came from, what kind of troubles can he make. Pass it on and let our servants be more strict. Don''t spread the word today." Mrs. Xia didn''t take it too seriously. After all, the situation at that time, the other party did not know who was in the pavilion. It''s a pity that Mrs. Xia thought well, but somehow this matter spread in Furong Town within a few days, and the rumors became more and more outrageous, and it seemed to become the first gossip in the town. Some said that Miss Xia and Zhang''s stepson met in private, some said that Miss Xia''s behavior was inappropriate, and some said that Miss Xia had a crush on Zhang''s property. There are also those who covet the property. In short, there are countless rumors, each of which is said as if someone saw it with their own eyes. In this way, the reputation of the Xia family girl was ruined like this, but it was too late to restore it at that time, so it goes without saying that Xia''s mother was angry and sick for more than half a month. Chapter 17: Shen Xiangyan took Xia Rong down the mountain the next day and returned home in a carriage. As soon as he arrived at the mansion, he heard that Shen An was waiting for him in the front hall with a few managers. Shen Xiangyan frowned after hearing this, shook Xia Rong''s little hand reluctantly, and kissed his little cheek, then reluctantly gave up and went back home with the little husband immediately Study the small picture book. Although Xia Rong was sensitive to the clinginess of her husband today, she still thought that her husband simply didn''t want to be separated from her. How could she have imagined that this was a vicious wolf who hadn''t had **** for a long time, and was eager to drag her into the den. It''s easy to eat after being fattened. Back at the Begonia Courtyard, Xia Rong changed into the loose clothes she wore in the house under the service of He Xin and He Miao. Compared with Xiaohuihe when he was just brought back, he really gained a lot of weight. Fortunately, he bought a pet rabbit suitable for his wife. Apart from being a little fatter, he didn''t grow crooked, and he was still so cute. After not seeing each other for two days, Xia Rong smoothed the fur of the two rabbits respectively, and fed them with the vegetable leaves that were put aside. Only then did he get up and wash his hands, dragged out the box that the husband-in-law bought for him from under the bed, dug out a book that he hadn''t read, curled himself up on the soft pedals, and read it. What Xia Rong was reading now was Xia Rong was unknowingly fascinated by a story in Liao Zhai about the love between man and ghost, and felt that it was time for dinner after a while. When He Xin and He Miao came to remind him that it was time for dinner, he realized that the husband hadn''t come back all afternoon. Xia Rong pouted unhappily and asked, "Is your husband still busy?" "Shen An just left with his people a quarter of an hour ago, but the young master is in the study now, do you want your slave to call?" He Xin answered with her head bowed. "No need, I''ll go find my husband." After finishing speaking, he put on his shoes and went to the study to find his husband. He Xin and He Miao saw their Zhengjun trotting out of the house, and hurriedly followed, for fear that the master would accidentally fall while walking. As soon as Shen Xiangyan put away the ledgers that Shen An had brought over and left the study, he saw a snow blue shadow pounced into his arms, with his small soft body buried in his arms. Before he could see his face clearly, he smelled the same faint white orchid fragrance as his body, which relieved Shen Xiangyan''s exhaustion from dealing with things all afternoon. "Is my husband finished with his work? It''s time for dinner. I heard He Xin say that today I have your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs." Because the speaker was buried in his chest, the voice was a little fuzzy, but Shen Xiangyan could still hear it clearly . Shen Xiangyan knew that it was his little husband who wanted him to have dinner with him, so he naturally accepted it happily, and ordered "Set the meal" to the people following him, then picked up his little husband and walked towards the dining room. Xia Rong was picked up by her husband in front of so many servants, she opened her mouth, and finally buried her head in his chest resignedly, planning to hide her ears. Seeing his appearance, Shen Xiangyan felt that he was too cute, and his whole heart was about to soften. Although he really wanted to carry him back to the Begonia Courtyard right now, and teach him some things that are not suitable for children, he weighed the weight in his arms , I decided to feed him first before talking about anything else. After the two of them finished their dinner and took a bath separately, Shen Xiangyan sat on the bed and wrapped Xia Rong in his arms, resting his chin on his shoulder, and spread out the picture book in front of Xia Rong with the wrapped hands, I saw that the above drawing is quite clear, and it is also colored. Each page is a different posture. There are also detailed annotations on this posture below. It is nothing more than teaching men how to control rationally and avoid Premature ejaculation/ejaculation, let the receiver get pleasure/sensation and so on. But what surprised him was that the two people in the painting were a man and Shuang''er. After thinking about it, he didn''t think it was strange. After all, there are Shuang''er in this time and space, so there must be related painting books. Xia Rong was coaxed by her husband to read a few pages, then she turned her head in embarrassment and refused to read it again. Shen Xiangyan read the pages carefully. He knew that he liked men in his previous life, so he naturally knew in that era of advanced information. What do men do with men, but I still don''t know what is the difference between Shuang''er and men in doing this, so this picture book just helped him a lot. As soon as Xia Rong closed his eyes, his mind was full of pictures of the two people being so intimate and seamlessly intertwined. For a while, he was in a situation where he couldn''t react, but when he calmed down, Suddenly he realized that he didn''t seem to have consummated the house with his husband until now, and that''s why he didn''t touch him for so long. Shen Xiangyan quickly noticed something was wrong with Xia Rong, thought he was frightened, and asked him what was wrong. Thinking of what Xianggong said to him yesterday, Xia Rong bit her lips, "It''s been a long time since Xianggong has consummated the marriage with Rong''er, right?" Shen Xiangyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and explained that because Xia Rong was too young, he didn''t touch him because he was afraid that consummating the house too early would be bad for his health. After hearing this, Xia Rong was first relieved, then moved. After marrying him for so long, he still resisted moving himself, just because he was afraid that his health would be bad. He felt that there was no other husband in the world who could do this. "Is Rong''er afraid that my husband is not interested in you? That''s really unfair to me. Rong''er doesn''t know how I endured this time. When you are sixteen, I will definitely let you know how much my husband treats you." Desire." After speaking, he purposely leaned forward with his lower body to let Xia Rong feel him. Although the house was lit with horn lamps at night, it was still not as bright as in the daytime. Under the dim light, Xia Rong didn''t know what to do. I feel that Xianggong''s smile is a little dangerous. And because he was so close to his husband, the thing behind him was very obvious. If he still didn''t know what was going on before today, but the content he just read is still deeply imprinted in his mind. How could it be possible that he didn''t know what that thing was pressing against him, he was suddenly stiff and didn''t know what to do. Shen Xiangyan didn''t know if it was a special hobby, but he especially liked seeing Xia Rong''s blushing little face, he just felt that it was a little more lively than usual, making people like it just by looking at it. Thinking that there are a few poses in the painting book that don''t need to break Rong''er''s body now, she impatiently begs for rewards in Xia Rong''s ear, "Rong''er, you have worked so hard for your husband, can you help me first." After finishing speaking, he took Xia Rong''s boneless little hand and touched it like himself. Xia Rong was startled by the touch of his hand, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but Shen Xiangyan had already pulled him back, "Rong''er help I, I''m so uncomfortable, help me." A slightly hoarse voice came from beside his ears, making Xia Rong''s entire body go numb. In this way, Xia Rong was half-pushed by Shen Xiangyan once. When the musk/scent wafted in the air, Xia Rong was so tired that her hands were sore, and she didn''t even have the energy to complain. Originally, Shen Xiangyan wanted to do it again, but seeing him like this made him feel distressed, so let it go, after looking at the picture book, thinking that there are still many poses that he can try first, he is a little ready to move. But in the end, he could hold back, and called the servants to bring in water, cleaned himself up briefly, and wiped his hands carefully. Only then did he turn off the lights and kiss Xia Rong''s forehead, then hugged the somewhat tired husband in his arms and fell asleep. Chapter 18: The next day, Shen Xiangyan once again enjoyed the opportunity to dress up his young husband, and personally chose a water-green dark flower silk robe for Xia Rong who had just woken up and was still awake. Of course, when I was getting dressed, I didn''t miss touching here and kissing there. Originally, he wouldn''t eat his husband''s tofu so blatantly in the past, but anyway, he already asked his husband to help him like that last night, and there is nothing he can''t touch with the person he is marrying back. Moreover, he unexpectedly found that Xia Rong was a little more obedient than usual before he woke up. Even if he acted a little too much, the little husband would still let him do whatever he wanted in a daze. Coincidentally, he also planned to take this opportunity to let Rong''er get used to his closeness little by little, so as not to scare him accidentally in the future. After dressing the little husband with his own hands, he didn''t ask the servants to serve him. He twisted the handkerchief and wiped his face. After seeing that his eyes were still open, he took the cup and rinsed his mouth, and then pulled him in the vanity mirror. Before finishing it, he chose a tasseled silk with the same color as the clothes and tied him a ponytail. After kissing the little husband who had been dressed up by himself, he was served breakfast. Xia Rong knew that she only really woke up when she was sitting at the dinner table. Thinking about what happened last night, she felt her face was burning hot, and her hand holding the chopsticks became hot as well. He lowered his head timidly and looked up at the opposite Xianggong in embarrassment. It was not until there was a small steamed bun the size of a baby''s fist in the bowl that he was suppressed by the nature of foodies. This small cage is as thin as paper, and inside is Xia Rong''s favorite beef mince. The beef is chopped into small pieces, and a small piece of specially prepared skin jelly is added when wrapping it. After steaming in the pan, eat it while it is hot. One bite will still bring a rich and delicious juice. After eating, the mouth will be fragrant. Summer Rong couldn''t help being fascinated by the taste of Xiaolongbao, and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, she couldn''t remember being shy. Shen Xiangyan looked at Xia Rong who was sitting across from him eating like a little hamster, couldn''t help shaking his head and smiled, and served him another bowl of dried shrimp and winter melon soup. Seeing how well he ate, even his own appetite got better. The two of them got up so early today because they thought that Xia Rong didn''t have a good time going to Foguang Temple this time. He wanted to take Xia Rong for a walk in the street today as compensation. You can also take Xia Rong to listen to it. Well, these are also what he heard when he went out for business and entertainment some time ago. He himself doesn''t like those babbling, but the ladies and ladies in the house in this place like to listen to operas, and maybe Xia Rong will like it too. After Xia Rong had finished eating, the two of them didn''t bring too many people with them, they only brought He Xin, He Miao, and Chen Cai and Feng Qin who had finally come to take care of each other when it was their turn to rest without going to Xiangzi to take care of them. However, the two of them hurriedly agreed when they heard that the young master wanted them to go out with them. After all, it was because of the young master that the two of them were able to achieve their current prospects. It can be said that they both regarded Shen Xiangyan as a benefactor. Shen Xiangyan led Xia Rong to stroll slowly, and looked at the stalls on the street one by one. He was not stingy when he saw the ones Xia Rong liked, and bought them all. Anyway, even if there were too many things to buy, someone would help them out. He just needs to pay silver. Not long after the two walked, they saw a group of people gathered together and didn''t know what they were doing. Shen Xiangyan winked, and Chen Cai immediately understood and squeezed through the crowd, but after a while, he saw Chen Cai coming over to report, "Master, inside She''s a girl who betrayed her father to be buried, she looks good, and she looks quite pitiful." Shen Xiangyan''s heart moved slightly after hearing this, he didn''t expect such a scene of selling his father to die, but because of the virus detection of TV dramas and novels in his previous life, he unconsciously had a subconscious feeling that this kind of selling his father''s death is not something to touch, Maybe it will lead to rotten peach blossoms or big troubles, so I don''t want to talk about it. However, Xia Rong couldn''t help but look back before being dragged away by her husband. Of course, Shen Xiangyan knew that his little husband was a kind-hearted man, but because he didn''t want to meddle in other people''s business, Xia Rong must have listened to him and would not go Tube. Shen Xiangyan sighed and rubbed Xia Rong''s head. There are countless poor people in the world. Besides Xia Rong, what does anyone else have to do with him? He is not really a good person. When we arrived at the Tingli Pavilion, I asked Xiaoer to find a cubicle for them on the second floor. The cubicles here are separated from the left and right, and the front is still open. The stage is set in the middle of the first floor, no matter which direction it is The compartments are good for watching the show. Xia Rong is much more lively than usual because of going to the theater, it seems that he guessed right, there are only these kinds of entertainment in this era, and watching the theater is a very good entertainment. Seeing that he was happy, Shen Xiangyan was also in a good mood, but he only read the name of the play, and then he just concentrated on eating the tea and snacks served by the second child, and then peeped at his little husband in an open and honest manner. As for what was on stage, he didn''t listen to it. He just felt a bit like a combination of Kunqu opera and Yue opera in his previous life. Although there were some differences, it was still the same babbling. Xia Rong looked at it seriously, sometimes she was happy with the stage, and sometimes she was sad with the stage. Shen Xiangyan watched the changes in his expression, and thought it was more interesting than anything else. He always knew that his husband was sensitive, but this was the first time he saw it intuitively. After a scene was over, when they left the Listening Oriole Pavilion, Xia Rong was still pulling his sleeves to talk about the plot just now, talking non-stop all the way, and insisting on hearing his response. The corners of Shen Xiangyan''s mouth twitched, he couldn''t say that he didn''t listen to Ben, he could only barely cope with the "en" and "ah" from time to time, he didn''t know that since this time, Xia Rong often begged him to let him Taking him to the theater, I don''t know if he is shooting himself in the foot, but the bitter fruit can only be swallowed by himself. On the way back, he passed by a shop selling dried fruit and candied fruit. Shen Xiangyan also bought Xia Rong some honey kumquats, rock candied bayberry and the like. gone. After playing all day, Shen Xiangyan was in a good mood when he saw Xia Rong at night. He felt that after playing with Xia Rong all day during the day, it was time for Xia Rong to reward himself at night. After urging the blushing little husband to take a bath, Shen Xiangyan, who had finished his bath early, sat expectantly on the carved rosewood bed covered with a concubine-colored satin quilt and waited. When Xia Rong came in wearing moon-white pajamas, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t help but waved at him, "Come on, Rong''er, come and sit with my husband." The eyes staring at Xia Rong were a little too hot nod. However, although Xia Rong was still a little shy, she obediently sat down when her husband beckoned him to go over. "Rong''er, you''re so good." Shen Xiangyan embraced his little husband in satisfaction, then followed his lips with his, and put his hands dishonestly into the thin layer of clothes, feeling the tenderness. Delicate and silky touch on the waist. After the kiss was over, Shen Xiangyan smiled, and opened a page in the picture book hidden under the pillow, "Rong''er take a look, you understand, how about we use this posture tonight?" Xia Rong wished she could bury her head in the quilt, pretending that she couldn''t hear anything, but it''s a pity that Mr. Xianggong, who was originally very gentle, became domineering when encountering such a thing. In the end, he was completely stripped off by his husband, except for the last step, and his own husband had done enough of what he should and should not do, so he was allowed to sleep. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Recently, the crabapple tree in the yard has bloomed. The flowers are really beautiful and moving. The bright red flowers bloom on the tree one by one, looking layer upon layer, shining brightly. Seeing that Xia Rong liked it, she asked her servants to move the bamboo couch and bamboo table, and prepared to drink tea and enjoy the flowers under the crabapple tree. He Xin, who was waiting on the side, told him the rumors about summer in the town. After realizing it, I know that the rumor refers to the matter in Foguang Temple. The rumor is still exaggerated, but it seems that the rumor has almost reached the point where everyone knows it. Xia Rong didn''t know what was going on in her heart for a while, but when she thought about those people''s plans for his husband, if he didn''t react in time, the consequences would be disastrous. In addition, he didn''t have any feelings for the Xia family at first, so he couldn''t feel much sympathy. Instead, he realized that the rumors spread so quickly, and thought that they were all brought by the Xia family that day, so he felt something was wrong. . I vaguely felt that this matter might have something to do with Xianggong, but this thought just passed in my mind and I didn''t think about it, it had nothing to do with him anyway. Xia Rong drank the tea in the teacup, but felt that the tea tasted exceptionally good today, and couldn''t help asking He Xin to offer him another cup. He Xin explained with a smile, "This is the new tea from the mountains that the young master bought a few days ago. The young master said it was good, so I brought it back for you to taste." Xia Rong nodded, thinking that the taste was really good, so she would make some for Xianggong when he came back. He Xin continued the unfinished gossip, "Zhengjun, do you still remember the girl who sold her body to bury her father when the young master took us to the theater a few days ago? It is said that the girl was finally bought by the young master of the Zhang family. , and brought it back to the mansion, the young master of the Zhang family carried it to his aunt." Xia Rong put down her teacup, a bit dumbfounded, this is a coincidence, but I don''t know what the Xia family thought when they heard the news, thinking about such a rumor, even if Xia Tian didn''t marry the Zhang family, it wouldn''t be a good marriage , Xia Rong couldn''t help but still sighed. Chapter 19: When Shen Xiangyan came back from outside, he saw Xia Rong sitting in the yard. He didn''t go up to disturb him, but went back to the house first, took a simple shower, changed into looser clothes, and then went back to the yard to pick up the leisurely looking husband. Xia Rong was picked up suddenly, and almost cried out in surprise. When she realized that the person holding her was Xianggong, she was afraid that she would fall, so she put her arms around Xianggong''s neck and begged, "Let me go down, Xianggong." He is such a big man, and the servants are still there, so he is hugged by his husband. How can he meet people, but this panic and fear quickly turned into cheerful laughter. Looking at the loving couple in front of them, He Xin and He Miao were very happy for their lord. When they were first bought into the mansion, they were worried about the soft-tempered lord, but after such a long time, they saw clearly that the young master''s love for the lord was sincere. This also made them breathe a sigh of relief in private, after all such a good master is rare, and they also hope that the master can always be so happy. Shen Xiangyan hugged him around a few times before letting him down, holding his little hand and sitting on the bamboo couch together. As usual, ask him what he did today, whether he is greedy for snacks and so on. Xia Rong answered one by one, and told him about the rumors that He Xin had told him before, but Shen Xiangyan just smiled and didn''t speak. He really ordered Chen Cai to do this matter after he came down the mountain, but he just asked Chen Cai to find a lively place and say a few words casually. However, no matter what era the common people are very interested in gossip about this kind of big family, it doesn''t matter what he is doing to create the current situation. This also made him more aware of the horror of the rumors in this place, so when he spread the news, he and Xia Rong were picked out. After sitting for a while, Shen Xiangyan felt that his little husband would really enjoy it. This place is a good place to find. The shade of the trees and the middle of the two courtyard gates became a draft, which dissipated the heat from the people. "Rong''er, do you mind talking about a few games with my husband?" After speaking, he ordered his servants to bring the agate chess set he bought for Xia Rong before, and planned to play a few games with Xia Rong. "Then let''s talk about it first. If Rong''er doesn''t play well, my husband is not allowed to laugh at me." Even though he said so, Xia Rong''s eyes were bright, and he felt a little itchy when he saw the chess pieces being brought. I don''t go out much at home, so when I have nothing to do, I will play chess with myself to pass the time. But he had never played chess with others before, and now that Xianggong brought it up, he was more or less eager to try it. "Okay, I''m not kidding you, but it''s boring to play like this, do you want to block something." Shen Xiangyan looked at the young man who was sitting on the opposite side and continued with a soft expression, "If you block anyone who loses, then agree." How about a request from the other party?" Xia Rong rolled his eyes and agreed, he still has some confidence in his chess skills, but he doesn''t think he will definitely lose. In the end, he was still too naive, played four games, and lost a chess piece in each game. Seeing that he had only lost one chess piece at the beginning, Xia Rong was still a little unconvinced. It was rare for him to play tricks with Xianggong, hoping to do it again, but it was only after four games in a row that he realized that Xianggong is this Deliberately, deliberately win him a chess piece. In the end, when Shen Xiangyan smiled and asked him if he wanted to play another game, Xia Rong angrily threw the chess pieces to show that he couldn''t play anymore. After the chessboard was cleaned up, Shen Xiangyan scratched the little husband''s nose in a good mood, "Why, are you really angry? You''re still so childish." Where is his childishness, it is clear that the husband is hanging on to him, deliberately winning so much that he thinks that he can still win if he works hard. Xia Rong lowered her head and kicked her feet, but it was indeed he who lost, Xia Rong said angrily, "I would like to accept the bet, what does my husband want Rong''er to do?" "Well, I haven''t thought about it yet. I''ll talk about it later. Anyway, don''t try to play tricks when the time comes." Shen Xiangyan pulled up the little husband who was still playing with a temper and let him sit on his lap, and said something that made Xia Rong different. Unexpected news, "Rong''er, I''m going to travel far away. As you know, many spices are produced not near here. When my grandfather was there, the Shen family had contacts with merchants in many places. I want to open It¡¯s so fragrant, I need to go to these places myself.¡± Xia Rong looked up at him in disbelief, and forgot about the bet, she couldn''t accept it for a while, and finally asked, "How long will Xianggong be going?" "At least one and a half months, at most two months." Shen Xiangyan calculated the distance in his heart, somewhat complaining about the inconvenient transportation in this place. To go south this way, not only would you have to take a carriage, but you might also have to walk a section of water. It will take at least one and a half months to go back and forth once, "Rong''er, I will come back as soon as possible, and I will bring Shen An with me this time. If I can, I don''t have to go in person." Hearing that it took so long, Xia Rong felt very uncomfortable. Now that Xianggong has not left, he can''t bear it anymore, "Then, when will Xianggong leave?" Shen Xiangyan patted Xia Rong''s head, knowing that he was feeling uncomfortable, so he said it out, "The day after tomorrow, I have to prepare some things." He also wanted to take his husband there, but this trip was not for sightseeing, and the distance was too long. It was a little far away, and he was going to hurry up all the way, and he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of him when he brought Rong''er. "Then Xianggong goes out and brings more people, okay?" He knew that at this time, he should cheer up, so that Xianggong can go out without worrying about him, but his eyes turned red and he couldn''t help it. Said that the father-in-law who has gone is what happened when he went to the south to buy spices, so how can he not worry about it. Seeing that Xia Rong was sad, Shen Xiangyan also became a little sad because of the sorrow of leaving. He kissed the corner of the little husband''s eyes, and said in a relaxed tone, "Don''t worry, I will take more people away. Rong''er should also take good care of herself at home. , strive to grow up sooner, you know? Mr. Xianggong can''t wait any longer." After speaking, the hand attached to Xia Rong''s waist even touched suggestively. Because of Xianggong''s ambiguous behavior, the sadness of being about to part has finally faded a bit. Xia Rong rubbed her sore eyes, stood up and told He Xin and He Miao to pack the luggage for her husband. There is still one day left. As a husband, he has not prepared anything. After thinking about it, there are a lot of things to take away. , he had to see it for himself. Shen Xiangyan saw that the little husband was busy going out for him, and he didn''t stop him. It would be more uncomfortable not to let him mess with him at this time. After thinking about it, there are still many things that need to be arranged by him before going out so that he can rest assured. Thinking of this, he also called the servants in the house to explain them one by one. The night before departure, Xia Rong buried her head in her husband''s chest, and her arms around him became tighter and tighter, thinking that from tomorrow onwards, she would be the only one on this bed, and she couldn''t control her mood no matter what . Shen Xiangyan felt distressed seeing the little husband like this, and secretly swore in his heart that he would never leave him again after this time. A delicate kiss along the forehead, along the eyebrows, from the nose to the soft lips, both of them were bolder than usual because they were about to part. When Shen Xiangyan held Xiao Rong''er all the way down under the quilt, Xia Rong Her eyes widened involuntarily, and then an uncontrollable voice escaped from her lips after being severely bullied just now. After everything returned to peace, Xia Rong was finally too tired to think about anything else because of the first experience, and fell asleep. Shen Xiangyan attached himself and kissed Xia Rong''s forehead, looked at the thing under him that was still ready to move, and smiled wryly, "The physical strength is so poor, I don''t know what to do when I really eat it." Just ignore yourself , After cleaning up the sleeping husband, he turned on the bed and hugged him in his arms, but he didn''t feel sleepy at all. I couldn''t help tracing the outline of the person in my arms with my eyes over and over again, and patted the back of the person in my arms so that he could sleep more peacefully. I just watched it like this for a whole night without closing my eyes. Before dawn the next day, Shen Xiangyan got out of bed lightly, washed and dressed, looked at Xia Rong who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, and kissed the corner of his mouth again. He got up and wrote a note next to Xia Rong''s pillow, then opened the door and told He Xin and He Miao to take good care of Xia Rong without waking him up. If there was anything he could call the Li family, he had already notified the other side of the room in advance. Take care of Xia Rong. After a quick breakfast, he once again told the servants in the house to keep his duty and take good care of his master while he was away. As long as Xia Rong didn''t have any problems when he came back, he would definitely be rewarded, otherwise don''t blame him. He is merciless, and it is good to sell the board. After explaining this, Shen Xiangyan took Shen An and six guards out the door, and the luggage that Xia Rong had prepared for him was packed and waiting at the gate. Shen Xiangyan looked at the luggage of the two carriages, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He still couldn''t hold back and let Shen An check it. If it was really unnecessary, he got rid of it. As long as he brought enough money along the way, many things can be bought on the road. buying. As for other things that seemed useful, he took them with him. After all, it was Xia Rong''s wish. If he didn''t take Xia Rong, he would be even angrier when he woke up. Shen Xiangyan touched his nose. Angry. Taking a last look at Shen''s residence, taking advantage of the white belly just exposed in the sky, Shen Xiangyan led the people away without looking back. Chapter 20: In her sleep, Xia Rong dreamed that she was sleeping in a peach forest, and the warm sun was shining on her body, making her uncomfortable. But it didn''t take long for the scene to change suddenly. For some reason, he seemed to be dragged into a very dark cave. In his dream, he slept very unsteadily. He wanted to move but felt unable to move his limbs. He could not open his eyes but could hear rustling. The rustling sound, it should be the sound of rain falling outside the cave. Sleeping in the cave, he could feel the temperature of his body was losing little by little, and his whole body gradually became cold. When the coldness reached a certain level, Xia Rong suddenly woke up from the bed. After waking up, Xia Rong felt that there was no warmth in the quilt, and she was still a little dazed just after waking up, but it disappeared immediately because she remembered that today was the day when her husband was going out. Finding that there was no sign of her husband in the house, Xia Rong hurriedly put on the soft-soled shoes she wore indoors and wanted to run outside, regardless of her pajamas. He Xin and He Miao, who were guarding the door of the room, heard the commotion inside and knew that their Zhengjun had woken up, so they opened the door and prepared to go in to wait for Zhengjun to get up. As soon as the two of them entered the room, they saw Xia Rong''s disheveled clothes and anxious expression. They were really worried, so they hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said in a cautious tone, "Zhengjun, the young master has already left. Instruct the slaves and maids to let you sleep until you wake up naturally, and don''t ask the slaves and maids to wake you up." Although Xia Rong already had this guess, she was still stunned when she heard the answer from the two of them. Has the husband left? Why didn''t he wake him up? After a while, Xia Rong asked with her head down, "When did Mr. Xiang leave, and did you say anything before leaving?" "The young master left before Mao''s time. Before he left, he told the servants to take good care of Zhengjun, and asked the servants to tell you that he will come back as soon as possible." He Xin replied with a respectful expression. After hearing this, Xia Rong waved her hands and told the two to go down first. He really wanted to stay by himself right now. After the two saluted, Xia Rong walked back to the bed, only to find the note next to the pillow, presumably he was too anxious to see it when he woke up just now. Carefully open the note, there are familiar notes on it, there are not many words, and the note reads, "I can''t bear to part, I don''t want to part. Missing you is like running water, and you will return as scheduled. I hope you take care of yourself, don''t read In just twenty or so words, Xia Rong finally couldn''t help crying after reading it, the silent tears flowed down like water, and some beautiful chins that slid across the arc fell on the note, Xia Rong hurriedly Wipe away the tears that haven''t soaked the paper with his hands, for fear of ruining the note left by his husband. After re-rolling the note and putting it in the dark compartment at the head of the bed, he fell into pain under the quilt that still smelled like a husband. He Xin and He Miao stayed outside the door, and they couldn''t hear the movement in the room for a long time, they were both in a dilemma, because they were afraid that Zhengjun was too sad in the room, and wanted to go in to have a look, but also afraid that Zhengjun would not want to see him to them. The two looked at each other for a long time, but they were really worried, so they decided to disregard Zheng Jun''s orders before, and opened the door to enter the house. When He Miao saw the man who buried half of his body on the bed, he was very anxious, but his tone softened, and he coaxed softly, "Don''t be uncomfortable, Mr. Zheng, you know that you will be hurt when you are outside." It hurts even more." He Xin also echoed from the side. Xia Rong had let herself out by crying a lot, she didn''t want the two to worry about him, so she calmed down her emotions, got up and asked the two to help him change and freshen up. After finishing these things, breakfast was already set up in the front hall, and the dining table was filled with his favorite food, crystal shrimp dumplings, steamed buns, osmanthus lotus root starch, sugar steamed crispy cheese, a large pile filled the table. On weekdays, he must have a big appetite when he sees such a large table of things he likes. But today he was the only one sitting here eating at the table, but he lacked interest. He only ate one shrimp dumpling and added half a bowl of crispy cheese, and he really couldn''t eat it anymore. He Xin knew about this situation a long time ago, took out a blank notebook, stood in front of Xia Rong, and wrote down what Xia Rong used just now. Seeing that Xia Rongnao didn''t understand what he was doing, he stepped forward and saluted, "The young master told you before you left that Zhengjun''s daily dosage should be recorded clearly. He said that if you don''t eat much at any meal, When you come back, you will punish the servants." Xia Rong was really dumbfounded by this approach, seeing He Xin and He Miao look like they were appointed and punished after waiting for their husband to come back. He was not stupid, he knew that it was because Xianggong was afraid that he would not be around and he would not eat well, but Xianggong just grasped his weakness, and after thinking about it, he was still afraid that Xianggong would come back and punish them. Sighing, he picked up the bowl on the table again, finished the bowl of crispy cheese, and ate some more sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root powder, until he really couldn''t eat any more before giving up. He Xin and He Miao were relieved to see that the master was willing to eat well. After breakfast, Xia Rong walked around the yard for a few laps as usual, then went back to the house and found a book about the case that she hadn¡¯t read before. Sitting on the soft steps, he didn''t turn the page for a long time. He couldn''t read it. He stared at the page for a long time, and he knew every word, but he didn''t know what it meant when he connected it for a long time. In the end, he dropped the book in his hand, nestled on the soft bed and fell asleep. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Shen Xiangyan first rode in a carriage all the way for three days, then changed the waterway for another four days before getting off the boat, and drove all the way south to more than a dozen towns. Although he was a little tired, the rewards were great. . I found a lot of things that this dynasty didn''t know could be used as spices. For example, the leaves of this plant, the lotus, will become a spice with a special smell after special treatment, because people here only know the uses of flowers, but He ignored the value of the leaves, so he bought some flowers as a cover, and bought a large number of leaves at a very low price by the way, and set long-term purchase conditions with them, just like this There are many similar situations, In short, Shen Xiangyan got a big deal this way. The more places he went, the more Shen Xiangyan missed his little husband. Touching the position on his chest, there was a purse embroidered by Rong''er for him next to his body, and inside the purse was the amulet that Rong''er begged for him. Ever since he left Shen''s residence, this action has become his habit. Whenever he misses it, he will touch his chest. Only in this way can he breathe a sigh of relief. Sitting in the carriage, Shen Xiangyan opened the exquisitely carved wooden box in his hand, which was covered with a thick layer of delicate silk, and on top of the silk was an oval warm jade that looked particularly pure in quality. Warm jade is very rare, and wearing it for a long time has the effect of warming and nourishing people, promoting blood and accumulating vitality. Gently rubbing the body of the box with fingers, this is the best gift for Xia Rong who is suffering from body cold, it will be of great benefit to his body. Not only this jade pendant, he would buy some local interesting things in every place he went along the way, and he has packed two full boxes so far. These are all gifts he bought for Xia Rong. He couldn''t help being happy when he received the expressions at these times. Looking at the scenery passing by outside the carriage, there is still the last city to go to. I heard that there is a kind of golden sandalwood with a very special fragrance. He has never heard of this kind of fragrant wood in the original world. Have you heard of it? Old spices are very attractive to a person like him who has studied and made incense for many years, so he has to go there to see and see. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Xia Rong sat on the bamboo couch and watched the crabapple flowers start to fall. A gust of wind blew by, the branches swayed slightly, and the flowers and leaves swirled down one by one. Xia Rong wouldn''t be sad because the flower fell, he had the crabapple fruit in mind. Although the crabapple fruit that is not yet fully ripe is scary, it is very delicious to pick it up and drown it at this time, and the crabapple fruit has the effect of promoting body fluid and quenching thirst, and it is also very good for the body. Xia Rong couldn''t help being happy at the thought of marinating some in the past two days so that she could eat it when her husband came back. When he was thinking about Meimei, He Xin came over and told, "Zhengjun, there is a lady outside who said she wanted to visit you, and he said that if you show this to you, you will know who he is." The flower silver hairpin was handed to Xia Rong. Xia Rong looked at the silver hairpin and hurriedly took it over and stood up, "Has anyone welcomed you in? I''ll go there now." This silver hairpin was the birthday gift he gave Gu Chen back then. Gu Chen was his best friend before he got married. She took good care of him and helped him a lot. Otherwise, after Father left, his life in Xia Mansion would definitely be more difficult. But since Gu Chen got married two years ago, they haven''t seen each other. This time he came to visit at the house, how could Xia Rong not be in a hurry to see him. Chapter 21: Seeing that his master attached great importance to the visitor, He Xin quickly responded, "Don''t worry, master, the guests have already been arranged in the front hall." After hearing this, Xia Rong felt relieved, and quickly walked to the front hall with the people. As soon as I entered the room, I saw a man dressed in a crimson gown with golden embroidered wishful cloud patterns as a married man sitting side by side. Although the man was wearing bright clothes, his eyebrows and eyes were cold, and his demeanor seemed contradictory but made people feel I think this is what this person should be. When Xia Rong saw that person, she called out affectionately, "Brother Gu." Although Gu Chen''s appearance made it difficult to get close all of a sudden, the friendship he had known since childhood let Xia Rong know that he was a very gentle person in his heart. When Gu Chen heard the voice, he turned his head and saw a young man with a flushed face and a little panting because he was rushing over. He couldn''t help but smile when he saw the person who came here with a cold face, and said after Xia Rong took his seat, "Rong''er, I just came back with my husband and heard that the Xia family asked you to marry, and I didn''t send you off." I came here to look for you because of the invitation, and now you look better than before you were married." Looking at the young man sitting opposite, with red lips, white teeth, delicate skin, curled up eyelashes like two small fans when sitting there drinking tea with his head down, he is still as cute and cute as before he got married. But this complexion is obviously not a bit better than when he was in Xiafu. "Brother Gu is worried. Rong''er has a good life in Shen''s house, and my husband treats me very well." Xia Rong smiled, and she was a little embarrassed to say that my husband treated him well in front of Gu Chen, "Brother Gu How did the two years go? Will you leave this time when you come back? How is brother-in-law?" Gu Chen married his childhood sweetheart Lu Tingsheng two years ago, and the two hit it off. This Lu Tingsheng has been in poor health since he was a child. Although he has a reputation as a scholar, he has no intention of career. After they got married, they had to take care of Lu Tingsheng''s health, so they lived in Zhuangzi to cultivate. Gu Chen didn''t know that he changed the subject, and he didn''t mind, "You also know that your brother-in-law''s health is not good, but the doctor also said that as long as he is more careful, it will be fine. The reason why he came back this time is because Tingsheng''s younger sister is separated from him. He''s going to get married in a few days, he, the older brother, has to come back and have a look." Speaking of this, Gu Chen became serious, "It''s you, tell me what''s going on with the Xia family. Isn''t it Xia Tian who has a marriage contract with the Shen family? Why did you get married in the end?" Xia Rong is younger than him Three years old, fourteen years old, how could such a young Xia family let him marry. Xia Rong knew that he would ask this question, and didn''t hide it, so she talked about how Xia''s mother persuaded Xia''s father at the beginning, and sent him to the sedan chair regardless of whether he agreed or not. Talk about ruined reputations. "Brother Gu, I know you care about me, but in fact, I should thank the Xia family. After I got married, I lived a very good life, and my husband-in-law loved me very much. After all, the Xia family raised me for those years. Although I don''t resent you now They, but forget about the others." He was just being naive, but he didn''t understand anything, when his father ignored him and sent him to the sedan chair, he already had no idea about the family. Hearing what Xia Rong said, Gu Chen still feels wronged by Xia Rong, what kind of raising method is that, shutting people in the yard and ignoring them, even a servant has a higher status than Xia Rong. Those who are lucky enough to marry don''t mind. If Shen Xiangyan hates Xia Rong because the Xia family let Shuang''er marry as his daughter-in-law, then what should he do? It will be Xia Rong who suffers by himself. Thinking of this, he became worried for Xia Rong again. Shen Xiangyan was not at home this time, and he did not see the person Xia Rong married. Looking at Xia Rong''s current appearance, he had a good life, but he didn''t know if it was real or fake. Thinking of himself, Gu Chen couldn''t help but sigh in his heart, it has been two years since he was married to Lu Tingsheng, and his stomach still hasn''t moved at all. The mother-in-law wanted to give her husband a few maids to serve her before. It doesn''t matter what kind of service she is. Fortunately, the relationship between her husband and him has always been good, and she pushed those people her mother-in-law gave her, otherwise his life would not be so easy now. The fact that it is difficult for the twins to conceive has always been a knot in his heart. If he can conceive one, he will not be afraid of his mother-in-law''s dissatisfaction. Xia Rong ordered someone to bring a few plates of dim sum that Rong had just made. The two chatted while eating, and talked about a lot of things that happened to each other in the past two years, until Xia Rong unknowingly ate half of the plate of dim sum. , He Xin who was waiting on the side couldn''t help but coughed lightly. Xia Rong heard He Xin''s deliberate coughing, looked at the sliced ??peach cake in her hand, and knew it was a reminder not to eat too much. He put the snack back on the plate with a somewhat sleepy expression. Gu Chen was a little puzzled what was wrong with him, He Xin took a step forward and lowered his head to explain, "Zhengjun''s appetite is small, the young master specially told Zhengjun before leaving that Zhengjun''s snacks should be in moderation, otherwise when it''s time to eat, you will eat a lot of food." I can''t eat anymore." Gu Chen almost laughed out loud when he heard this, "Your habit of being greedy has not changed, you are an interesting husband." Xia Rong blushed because of Gu Chen''s joke, and said a little angrily, "I''m not a fool if I don''t eat something delicious!" Looking back at this, Chen couldn''t help but burst out laughing, "Okay, okay, you are right, we are all stupid." Afterwards, Xia Rong stayed with Gu Chen for dinner. Xia Rong ate the most after Shen Xiangyan left, until Lu Tingsheng saw that her husband hadn''t come back so late and came to Shen''s mansion to pick up Gu Chen in person. Talent reluctantly bid farewell. Fortunately, Gu Chen will be living in Furong Town for a while, and the two of them can still see each other a few times, so thinking about it like this is not so uncomfortable. At night, Xia Rong was lying on the bed covered with a quilt, hugging the pillow that Xianggong had been resting on all the time, thinking in her heart that Xianggong had been away for more than thirty days, and maybe he was on his way back now, thinking of Xia Rong''s contented rubbing Rubbing the pillow in his arms, he fell asleep. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Shen Xiangyan was still on the boat going back, but the sound outside the cabin woke him up from his sleep. These days he was outside, and he was used to sleeping with someone in his arms, which made him restless, so whenever there was any movement outside, he would wake up. Then there was a knock on the door, Shen Xiangyan opened the door and saw Shen An standing outside. "Master, the night watchman saw a man floating in the water, he seemed to be alive, not far from our boat, everyone asked the little one to ask if we want to rescue him." In addition to the six guards he brought In addition to Shen An, there are seven or eight people he hired to transport the goods along the way, and now they are all his people on this ship, so he has to be the master when encountering such things. "Come up and have a look, after all, it''s a human life." Shen Xiangyan put on a coat and then went to the plywood. Seeing that a man in extraordinary clothes was caught up, this man must have been hurt when he fell into the water. What an injury, he''s unconscious now. Judging by the man''s clothes, saving the man in this situation might mean trouble. But Shen Xiangyan was not a person who would do nothing to save others, although he was a little hesitant, he was still ready to save others. There was no one with medical skills on board, so someone changed the man into clean clothes, checked the man''s condition, and rescued him to the end, Shen Xiangyan thought for a while and ordered, "Find a place to go ashore as soon as possible, and call a doctor when you get ashore come and see." Two days later, Shen An led the man to report to Shen Xiangyan, saying that the man wanted to thank him face to face after waking up. When Shen Xiangyan saw the man who came in with Shen An, although his face was pale and his body looked a little weak, but the noble aura that could not be concealed made people know that this man had a lot of background at first sight. Shen Xiangyan didn''t ask about this person''s background, he smiled and asked people to sit down, "Young master just woke up, you should have a good rest, why bother to go there yourself." "Murong Cheng, I still need to thank you in person for saving my life. Today''s kindness will be repaid tomorrow." Although it was a thank you word, there was nothing humble in the tone. Shen Xiangyan waved his hand, "It''s Shen''s job to save people, and there is no need to repay. I don''t know what plans Mr. Murong has in the future?" Murong Cheng coughed twice because he was still sick, and he replied after he calmed down, "A servant will come to look for me in two days, and I hope Mr. Shen will take me in for a while." "It''s easy to say, Mr. Murong, you''re welcome, just tell Shen An if you need anything." Shen Xiangyan pointed to the person who brought him here, and motioned him to come to him if he had anything to do, so you don''t have to be polite. In the next two days, because the boat was boring, Murong Cheng came to talk to Shen Xiangyan when he had nothing to do, chatted and played chess. After a few times, both of them found that they got along quite well with each other, so they didn''t continue to come and go. Called each other''s name. On the third day, when Shen Xiangyan wanted to have breakfast with Murong Cheng, he found that he had already left. When I arrived at his previous room, I saw a two-finger-wide silver medal and a note on the bed. The note was Murong Cheng''s farewell words. It said that the servants came to look for them. If there was an urgent matter at home, they left first. The silver medal left behind can be exchanged for one hundred thousand taels of silver at Kaiyuan Yinzhuang, which is popular all over the country. Use this silver medal to talk about the watch first. Thank you, and I will repay you in the future. Shen Xiangyan accepted the silver medal, he just felt that it was a pity to leave a congenial friend, and he didn''t know if he would have a chance to meet him in the future, and he didn''t take Murong Cheng''s words seriously that he would repay him in the future. He didn''t hold the purpose of letting people answer him. Shen Xiangyan walked to the bow of the boat, touched his chest, and said that he could get off the boat tonight, and after getting off the boat, it would take more than four days to get home. Thinking that he would see Xiao Fulang soon, he just wondered how this boat would work It''s so slow, I don''t know if Rong''er is thinking about himself, but he wished he could fly back first. Chapter 22: Xia Rong had been staring at the fruits on the crabapple tree in the yard for not a day or two, eagerly waiting for the day when she could pick them. Xia Rong got up early in the morning and looked into the yard through the window. Most of the fruits on the tree were stained with carmine due to the light rain last night, falling among the green leaves, which was very eye-catching. Seeing this scene, Xia Rong couldn''t bear it any longer, and hurriedly recruited He Xin and He Miao to come in to wash him up, and after a casual breakfast, she led the servants in the yard to get busy. First, pick most of the fruits on the tree, and dig out the calyx and stalks on the fruits one by one, then cook the washed and pierced crabapple fruits in a large pot, add appropriate amount of sugar for three times, and heat on low heat Cook until the skin of the fruit cracks. Then the boiled fruit needs to be marinated in an airtight clay pot for a whole day. At the end, drain the sugar water with a strainer, and wait for it to dry naturally before eating. Xia Rong looked at the two jars of crabapple fruit that could only be opened tomorrow, as if she could already predict the taste of the preserved fruit. It''s the kind of sweet with a hint of sour taste, smash it and smash it in your mouth, the more you think about it, the more greedy you will be, let''s eat a piece of pine nut candy first. Xia Rong returned to the room, looked at the half-made man''s underwear on the embroidery frame, found out the needle and thread, and continued to make it. Xia Rong''s needlework is not very good. Most of what he knows now is learned by himself. For example, playing chess is because he wants to pass the time. After a long time, he will learn it. He had no interest in sewing at all, and no one above him pressured him to learn it. Naturally, it was not very good. It would be fine to make a small purse and a fan cover, but it would be a bit difficult to make clothes. But with caring people in mind, this needlework is endowed with another meaning. I want to watch him use the purse he made and wear the clothes he made. The clothes that are worn outside need to be particular about to be seen by others, but he wants to try the clothes that are worn inside. Although he had a good idea, but looking at the out-of-shape underwear made by himself, Xia Rong thought a little bit, if Xianggong dares to despise the clothes he made, he will never make them for him again, hmph. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Shen Xiangyan led the people on the road overnight, and it was already three o''clock when they arrived home. Fortunately, Fengyu''s country is safe and peaceful, and the country is open-minded, and there is no such thing as a curfew, otherwise he would not be able to drive in the middle of the night. After knocking on the door, Lao Feng, who was in charge of the night watch tonight, still wondered why there was still a knock on the door at such a late hour. When he opened the door, he saw that his master had returned, and greeted him excitedly. The master is back, Zhengjun should rest assured this time. Since the master went to the south, not only Zhengjun was looking forward to the master''s return every day, but even the servants of them were looking forward to it together. Hearing the movement at the gate, several guards following the night watch were also alarmed. After a while, all the servants in the house knew that it was the master who had returned. It was Shen Xiangyan who hurriedly told them to keep their voices quiet so as not to disturb Xia Rong who had already fallen asleep. Only then did the servants lower their voices. After Shen Xiangyan arranged the seven or eight carriages he brought back and the people who came back, he didn''t forget to wash off the dust on his body after returning to Haitang Courtyard, and then he went back to the main room lightly. Lifting off the sky-blue smoked veil embroidered with lotus leaf patterns, in the darkness, one could see the little man who made him think about it day and night sleeping on the big rosewood bed inside. The villain probably didn''t sleep well, and he frowned slightly in his dream, the quilt only covered his waist, and the pillow in his arms that should have belonged to him was hugged tightly by him. Shen Xiangyan looked at the villain on the bed, the empty space in his heart was instantly filled, he couldn''t help sighing in his heart with satisfaction, even the exhaustion caused by the long day''s journey was instantly emptied. Not wanting to wake up the sleeping husband, Shen Xiangyan leaned over and kissed Xia Rong''s mouth again and again, and then carefully climbed onto the bed. What he didn''t expect was that as soon as he lay down on the bed, Xia Rong turned over and threw away the tight pillow he was holding just now, and rolled into his arms. In the dark, Shen Xiangyan raised his eyebrows, the soft body in his arms made him feel full of irony. Then he relaxed his body a little bit and hugged the person in his arms, but finally couldn''t overcome the lack of sleep for several days, and fell asleep. Sleeping drowsily, Xia Rong seemed to feel a familiar smell around him in his dream, and felt that the thing was more attractive than the one in his arms. Although he is not a person who loves the new and dislikes the old, he still can''t resist the familiarity. In the end, he decisively discarded the pillow in his arms and hugged the better one. Xia Rong slept very well this night, and he didn''t know it at all. His unconscious actions in his sleep unexpectedly earned him a full score of favorability with his husband-in-law. When Xia Rong woke up in the morning, she was startled to find that she was hugged by someone, and when she realized that this person was a husband, a huge surprise followed. Why did he not know when Xianggong came back? Xia Rong was full of annoyance because he didn''t find out that Xianggong had returned in the first place. I couldn''t help touching my husband''s body, and after confirming that this person really came back, not his dream, the smile on Xia Rong''s face never went down, and she happily pointed at her husband''s chin After several kisses, he still felt dissatisfied at all, and almost made a fuss over Shen Xiangyan''s head. Shen Xiangyan, who was woken up before he had enough sleep, turned over and pressed the fussy little husband tightly under his body, trapped Xia Rong under his body with one hand and one foot, and tightly bound him, closing his eyes Commanded in a hoarse voice, "Sleep." Xia Rong, who couldn''t move at all, realized that Xianggong''s eyes were black and blue. It seemed that he hadn''t rested for many days. The distress for his husband made him obediently not move, and fell asleep with him after a while. This time it was too late to wait for the two of them to wake up. When Xia Rong woke up, she found that she had a jade pendant around her neck. "Do you like it? This is a rare piece of warm jade. Wearing it is good for your body, so don''t take it off in the future." Wearing the milky white jade on Xia Rong''s neck, Xia Rong''s skin is more radiant than snow, Shen Xiangyan said. After watching for a while, he moved his eyes away. Well, he admitted that even a normal man would not be able to accept such teasing early in the morning. Xia Rong didn''t notice anything strange about her husband, she stared at the jade pendant for a long time, the corners of her mouth couldn''t help raising a beautiful arc, "Rong''er likes it very much, thank you, Mrs. Shen Xiangyan patted Xia Rong''s head, it was getting late, and the two of them didn''t ask servants to take care of them, Xia Rong tidied Xianggong''s clothes by herself. The two chatted sentence by sentence, and Shen Xiangyan talked about the knowledge and interesting things they encountered on the road. Xia Rong talked about how she was at home and what she did every day. Because the estrangement that we hadn''t seen for more than a month disappeared in a blink of an eye, and on the contrary, we became closer than before we parted. In the end, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t hold back and asked, "Rong''er, do you want to be a husband these days?" Xia Rong held Xianggong''s hand, reluctant to let go, her eyes were full of indescribable dependence, "I thought about it, I think about it every day, when Xianggong left, I didn''t wake Rong''er up, and when Rong''er came together, I found that Xianggong was gone." It''s gone." Xia Rongyue said more and more aggrieved, and finally made a request, "Don''t leave for so long, my husband, Rong''er can''t stand it." Shen Xiangyan still felt guilty about leaving without saying goodbye, but at that time he just didn''t want to see Xia Rong''s reluctant eyes, because he was afraid that if he looked at him like that, he wouldn''t be able to leave. Shen Xiangyan gently wiped away the teardrops from the corners of Fu Lang''s eyes with his hand, and couldn''t help but teased, "Where did this little crying bag come from, it''s really pitiful to cry like this." Xia Rong was ridiculed for being a little crybaby, so she decided not to do it, she hurriedly suppressed her tears and hummed, "I''m not a little crybabe, anyway, my husband, you are not allowed to leave for so long in the future." I haven''t seen you for more than a month, and the little husband is still going to be a rascal. Shen Xiangyan joked and quickly agreed, "Okay, I will take you with me even if I go out in the future, how about it?" He might consider taking Xia Rong with him when he goes out. "Really?" Xia Rong''s black cat eyes were wide open, and she was just waiting for her husband''s confirmation. "Really, when did Xianggong lie to you?" Shen Xiangyan took the little husband''s soft hand and led him to the front hall, "Come on, Rong''er, go and have a look with Xianggong. I got a lot of presents, see if you like them." In the front hall, there were all the boxes unloaded from the carriage last night. Shen Xiangyan ordered his servants to move the spices brought back this time into the fragrance house specially used for making incense, and then moved out the three big boxes of gifts he was going to give to Xia Rong. Xia Rong opened the box curiously, and there were various things inside. There are not only several sets of various clothes with Jiangnan characteristics, two boxes of jewelry that he can use, but also many interesting gadgets, ranging from large vases and ornaments to small masks and clay figurines. Xia Rong looked over one by one and almost got dazzled. Looking at Xia Rong, he couldn''t help but choked up in a low voice. Looking at these things, he could feel that Xianggong was thinking about him all the way, otherwise he couldn''t Collect so many things for him. Seeing that the little husband was about to cry again, Shen Xiangyan hurriedly said, "You said it''s not a crying bag, don''t tell me you don''t like the things my husband brought you? People want it." The gesture was to ask the servants to move the things away. Xia Rong knew that Xianggong was teasing him, so she quickly grabbed Xianggong''s sleeve and shook it, and smiled through tears, "Rong''er likes it, so you can''t throw it away. Whatever you give me is mine." "That''s fine. Since Husband likes it, let''s keep them for Rong''er to have fun with." After speaking, he ordered He Xin to pack up the things and send them back to the Begonia Courtyard, so that Xia Rong can play with them one by one in the future. Chapter 23: After looking at the gift that Shen Xiangyan brought back, the two had another delicious lunch. Of course, this lunch was more than breakfast. Xia Rong was watched by Shen Xiangyan and ate a lot, and she was not let go until she couldn''t eat anymore. Not seeing each other for more than a month, Shen Xiangyan always felt that the little bit of meat that the little husband had managed to raise before was gone again. Looking at Xia Rong who was sitting opposite and eating, no matter how he looked at it, his chin seemed to be pointed. Xia Rong, who was stuffed with a bowl full of vegetables, couldn''t help but slander in her heart. The one who really lost weight is obviously his family''s husband, who has been traveling outside for so long, not only suffered but also blackened. But besides that, there seems to be something more about Xianggong. Maybe it¡¯s because he has become more mature and introverted after going through this trip. Anyway, it makes him even more unable to move his eyes away. He always wants to raise his eyes to look at the opposite side after eating. sitting people. After lunch, the two of them went back to the Haitang Courtyard together. As soon as they entered the room, Shen Xiangyan saw a man''s underwear on the embroidery stand with sharp eyes. Walked a few steps and looked, the size should be his. Shen Xiangyan picked up the dress in surprise and turned to look at Xia Rong, like a big dog finding something he loves, "Rong''er, is this for me?" After finishing speaking, he stared at Xia Rong without blinking. Looking at Xia Rong, it seemed that Xia Rong would cry to him if she dared to say a word. Xia Rong felt that it was over when Xianggong noticed the dress, the dress was really not good enough. He really wanted to pretend that he didn''t know, but looking at his husband''s expectant eyes, he nodded resignedly, and regretted it after nodding, "That, that, I didn''t do well. You''d better stop wearing it." After finishing, I wanted to go forward to grab the clothes. Shen Xiangyan was not willing to let him **** it away, he picked up the clothes and raised his hands high, because he was a head taller than his husband, he just couldn''t let Xia Rong succeed. In the end, it was Xia Rong who had no choice but to accept his fate. Shen Xiangyan took off his clothes happily, and put on the underwear. To be honest, it did not fit well, and the left and right sleeves were not symmetrical, but he was not at all. Mindful, happily dressed and asked Xia Rong if she looked good. After Xia Rong was worn out and said "It looks good" against his will, Shen Xiangyan carefully took off the clothes on his body, carefully folded them and put them in the closet. This is the first time Rong''er has made him clothes, he can''t avoid wearing them well, he has to put them away as a treasure. Although Xia Rong was self-aware and knew that the clothes were indeed a little ugly, but seeing her husband put on the clothes he sewed by himself, she didn''t dislike his poor craftsmanship, on the contrary, she seemed to like it very much. It would be a lie to say that I am not happy, and I secretly decided to make a few more pieces for my husband next time, and he would not believe that if he did too much, he would not be able to make a satisfactory one. Afterwards, the two of them stayed together for the whole afternoon, they had to do everything together, and this kind of greasy feeling of being married lasted for three or four days. Shen Xiangyan took this opportunity to give himself a little vacation, and spent the whole day hanging out with his little husband at home. Playing chess, hugging and looking at picture books, trying new pastries made by Rong''s together, or just doing nothing and leaning together, in short, this small holiday makes the two long-lost people very satisfied. After that, Shen Xiangyan started to get busy again, because Li Xiangdong approached him and wanted to partner in business. Although the Li family has its own shop, he feels that Li''s father is still young, and he doesn''t want to go back and take over the family shop so soon. In Shen Xiangyan''s eyes, this is the so-called second-year idea of ??wanting to break through on his own while he is young, and prove that he can do without relying on his family. But there''s nothing wrong with this idea, and after getting along for this period of time, Shen Xiangyan felt that Li Xiangdong was worthy of deep friendship. Fortunately, Xiang Zilai''s business is on the right track, and his boss is not too busy except for occasionally getting some new products and checking accounts at the end of the month. Together, the two finally decided to build a jewelry store, and each of them contributed half of the capital. However, Shen Xiangyan also made a request this time. He wanted to be the boss behind the scenes, and he only said that Li Xiangdong was the boss. He didn''t want to be too famous because he didn''t want to be too famous. He already had a very famous incense shop in his hand. It''s not wise to be too famous without background. For this reason, he promised to draw more jewelry shapes. It is not difficult for him, who has experience in his previous life, to draw some jewelry shapes. Ever since Li Dongsheng saw the jewelry he painted, he felt that it would be difficult not to make money as long as he typed out these shapes, so Shen Xiangyan agreed to his request. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª On this day, Xia Rong happened to be in the mood to eat the preserved crabapple fruits that his family had pickled a few days ago. It was indeed as sweet as imagined, but also sour. Xia Rong was eating happily, when the little girl hurried to report that the lady from Xia''s mansion, Xia Xia, had come to the mansion and said she wanted to see Xia Rong. The waiters outside couldn''t stop her, and she was Zhengjun''s older sister after all, so they couldn''t force her, so they might be about to break in by now. Xia Rong was a little surprised, why did his sister-in-law come here? It was only in such a short time that Xia Tian came in with two strong-looking maids. Behind her were a lot of servants who wanted to stop her. Seeing Xia Xia''s posture, He Xin and He Miao hurriedly stood in front of Xia Rong, fearing that her Majesty would suffer. All the way in Xia Tian, ??I just feel that every part of the Shen residence''s courtyard is exquisite, and it''s not much better than theirs. Until I saw Xia Rong sitting leisurely on the rug, surrounded by several servants serving him, wearing fine brocade uniforms, and even the fruit trays were made of colored glaze. Thinking that these should belong to her originally, but now she is forced to marry that bumpkin from the Zhang family, she became very angry. Pointing at Xia Rong''s nose, he cursed loudly, "Xia Rong, you are satisfied with this, you **** who robbed someone else''s husband, you look like your little servant father. If it weren''t for me, you would be where you are today, let''s be real Hurry up and give up the place, and I can leave you a place to eat when I enter the Shen residence some other day." Xia Xia''s words not only talked about his father, but also wanted to rob his husband-in-law, but he was so shameless as Xia Tian, ??he dared to say anything. Trembling with anger, thinking of what Xianggong said while holding him, as long as he was alone, Xia Rong still firmly looked him in the eyes of his sister-in-law and said, "Xia, you can say me but please don''t say my father. Besides, I was the one who married my husband, so it is impossible for him to marry you, so you should give up your mind." Xia Tian couldn''t help but be annoyed when she heard this. She is used to being arrogant and domineering. She used to bully Xia Rong a lot when she was in Xia''s family. He Xin and He Miao didn''t want Xia Tian to bully their master, so they went forward to stop her, but they were already stopped by the maids following Xia Xia. These two maids often followed their master to bully others. Xin Hemiao couldn''t get away for a while. Seeing that Xia Rong and Xia Tian were about to wrestle together, the servants who came over just now saw that their lord was being bullied and hurriedly tried to pull him, but they were still not as quick as Shen Xiangyan. As soon as Shen Xiangyan got home, he heard that the young lady from the Xia residence was here, so he was afraid that Xia Rong would suffer. The one who rushed over to see that Xia Tian was going to attack his husband, how could he bear it, stepped forward and grabbed his husband, looked carefully up and down, and saw that his husband was fine, so he let it go heart. Protecting her husband in her arms and comforting her, she looked coldly at Xia Tian who was restrained by a few maids and mothers, "Miss Xia''s family is really well-bred, but my Shen family can''t entertain you as an honored guest, so I''d better invite you." Come back." Xia Tian was taken aback by Shen Xiangyan''s eyes, but still said unconvinced, "Shen Xiangyan, I am the one who is engaged to you, why are you protecting such shameless twins, he can''t even give birth to a child." She She thinks she looks good, and she is a woman, not as strong as Xia Rong. Ever since Shen Xiangyan came in, he had been hugging Xia Rong''s baby so badly that he didn''t even look at her. This made Xia Tian, ??who was spoiled and grown up, unbearable. At this moment, she was looking at her directly, but that look seemed to be looking at something disgusting. When did she suffer such grievances in summer. "I think Ms. Xia may have misunderstood. My husband is only Xia Xia. We are a legal couple who have received a marriage certificate, and the government has records. As a young lady who has not left the cabinet, Ms. Xia should be cautious, otherwise It would be bad to spread the word." Shen Xiangyan was impatient to deal with such an arrogant and spoiled young lady, so he ordered the servants coldly, "See off the guests." Shen Xiangyan''s words were tantamount to threatening her with fame, Xia Tian gave Shen Xiangyan and the two of them a bitter look, and left with the two maids without the maids sending them off. I really thought she was afraid of them, but she remembered this embarrassment today, it''s best not to let her have a chance, otherwise she would definitely not let these two people go. After Xia Xia left, Shen Xiangyan called the servants who were in charge of guarding the gate today and Xia Rong''s servants into the yard. Their faces were completely gone from the gentleness they used to be. The servants knelt on the ground, bowing their heads one by one. No one dared to make a sound, for fear that the master would be the first to suffer when he got angry. The more you watch gentle people lose their temper, the more frightening it is. Shen Xiangyan stared at these people for a while, and then said calmly, "I don''t want this to happen again, even a woman can''t stop it." , what use are you people to have?" After finishing speaking, ignoring them, she dragged Xia Rong into the house. He Xin and He Miao looked at each other, and they were all in a cold sweat. This matter is indeed a disadvantage to their current protectors. If Zhengjun gets hurt today, they must be to blame, and feel guilty in their hearts. No, I vowed secretly that I would serve him more wholeheartedly in the future. Chapter 24: Shen Xiangyan led Xia Rong back to the house after admonishing the people, and then carefully checked Xia Rong up and down, and he was really relieved that he didn''t see anything wrong. He was really a little scared today. His husband was originally younger than that savage woman, and he was born weak and weak. He had grown a lot this year and barely reached his chin. Normally, he would hold it in his hand and pamper him before it was too late, but this time if something happened under his nose, he would feel so sorry for him to death. Xia Rong saw that Xianggong has been keeping a cold face since just now, and now he has been staring at him, his eyes are still a little scary, and he is a little afraid that he is angry. But Xia Rong knew in his heart that even if Xianggong stared at him like this, even if he was angry with him, he would not do anything to hurt him, in short, he just knew. However, he was still afraid that his husband would ignore him, and he was justified in saying to Xia Tian that those ministers only wanted him. Seeing Xianggong like this now, he felt a little uneasy. After all, it is too common for a man in this world to have three wives and four concubines. What he said just now can make him a crime of jealousy. So even with Shen Xiangyan''s previous confession, it would not be overnight to make Xia Rong, who was brought up with this kind of education, completely believe in Shen Xiangyan''s words. After hesitating for a while, Xia Rong stretched out her hand and tugged on the Xianggong''s sleeve. In order not to make him angry with him, Xia Rong stood on tiptoe and kissed Shen Xiangyan''s lips. He remembered that every time he took the initiative to kiss him, Xianggong would Very happy. Shen Xiangyan was successfully soothed by Xia Rong''s movements, he supported the young husband''s head with his left hand, and wrapped his right hand around his waist, deepening the kiss, four thin lips touched, and the thin kiss rolled between the lips. After the two separated, Shen Xiangyan gently stroked Xia Rong''s rosy lips from the kiss with his fingers, and his expression returned to its usual softness, remembering that Xia Rong had just said in front of so many people that he was alone Yes, well, Shen Xiangyan has automatically translated that into Xia Rong loves him very much, which is actually the case. "I heard what Rong''er said just now. I am very happy to hear that, Mr. Xiang." If he did the right thing, he should be praised. At this moment, Shen Xiangyan put himself on the identity of Xia Rong''s parent. When Xia Rong realized the meaning of Xianggong''s words, the uneasiness in her heart finally dissipated, and then she showed a bright smile from the bottom of her heart to Shen Xiangyan, and her tone was subconsciously coquettish, "Xianggong promised me, As long as I am alone." This time he said this with more confidence. "Yes, Rong''er will say the same thing if something like this happens in the future." After speaking, Shen Xiangyan said with a serious expression, "In the future, if that crazy woman dares to approach you, you can stay as far away as possible, and leave the rest to me. "It seems that the Xia family has been too busy recently, and they can''t even look down on a daughter. Xia Rong hugged Xianggong''s thin waist, buried herself in Xianggong''s chest and rubbed it again and again, and then said "En" to show that she heard it. Shen Xiangyan was almost caught on fire by the person in his arms, and couldn''t bear it anymore, so he kept a little distance from Xia Rong calmly, and said helplessly, "When will Rong''er grow up?" Zhang Xiao blushed and did not answer this embarrassing question. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª At night, Shen Xiangyan was lying on the bed reading a miscellaneous book on the geography of mountains and rivers. He waited and waited but couldn''t wait for Xia Rong to come back from the bath. Shen Xiangyan put down the book in his hand, listened carefully, and was a little worried when he saw that there was no sound of water for a long time. Then he called out "Rong''er", but after a while he didn''t hear the little husband respond, Shen Xiangyan got out of bed worriedly and went to check. Turning into the bathroom separated by the screen, I saw the tub standing there but there was no sign of my husband. Shen Xiangyan anxiously wanted to go up to check, but saw a lot of petals floating on the water in the tub. There are blisters coming up from under the water. Shen Xiangyan was angry and annoyed, just as he was about to drag the person from the bottom up, that naughty little guy popped out of the water by himself. He Xin and He Miao added a lot of petals to the bucket that Xia Rong was going to bathe in today. Xia Rong thought it was fun when she washed. On weekdays, he would sink himself under the water and spit bubbles while taking a bath. Today, because of the petals, he played for a little longer, and then he was discovered by his husband. Xia Rong was startled when she saw the figure of her husband under the water, and hurriedly emerged from the bottom of the water, and brought out many splashes in a hurry. Shen Xiangyan, who was thrown all over, was almost terrified by this little **** looking at him with an innocent face. Looking at such an obedient little husband at the beginning, why did he become more and more naughty. Could it be due to the mentality of a 30-year-old uncle and parent in his heart from time to time, making the little husband more and more like a child? "Come out quickly, the water is getting cold, don''t spit bubbles under the water next time." Shen Xiangyan said maliciously on purpose, to see if he dares to scare him in the future. Xia Rong looked at the handsome man standing outside the bathtub, although he was wearing pajamas, but still neatly dressed. He looked at himself who was naked in the tub again. It''s okay to go out, he''s not wearing anything in the bathtub, and he can''t see anything because of the petals blocking it. Going out is not about being watched, Xia Rong is a little embarrassed. I could see that the little husband was uncomfortable, but Shen Xiangyan didn''t help him out this time, and insisted, "Come out, I''m going to get sick after soaking." Seeing Xianggong''s insistence, Xia Rong lowered her head and stood up shyly from the bathtub, trying to cover her chest and bottom with her hands. But Shen Xiangyan ignored him, grabbed the cloth towel that was put aside, forcefully carried Xia Rong out of the tub, and quickly dried him off. Afterwards, he didn''t intend to put him down, and directly carried Xia Rong into the room and put him on the bed. After covering someone with a quilt, Shen Xiangyan went to get a new cloth towel to wipe Xia Rong''s wet hair, and didn''t say a word during this time. Somewhat at a loss, Xia Rong raised her head and looked at Xiang Gong with big watery eyes, hoping that Xiang Gong would justify him. But it wasn''t until he dried his hair that Shen Xiangyan asked calmly, "Do you know what''s wrong?" Xia Rong actually didn''t know where she was wrong, but she still nodded obediently and cleverly, "I know I was wrong." Seeing that he admitted his mistakes with a good attitude, Shen Xiangyan was satisfied. I also saw the small face of my husband because the hair was loose, but the round shoulders and delicate collarbone were exposed from the place covered by the quilt. Compared with the two, Shen Xiangyan closed his eyes and felt his body getting stronger and stronger. hotter. Seeing that Xianggong still ignored him, Xia Rong tugged on Xianggong''s shirt to remind him to ignore him. But in Shen Xiangyan''s view, this move was undoubtedly an invitation. Shen Xiangyan accepted this wrong hint regardless, and couldn''t care about anything else. He kissed the lips that he hadn''t kissed enough during the day, and overwhelmed the person on the bed. . After a while, the gasping and ambiguous sounds of the two came from the bed, and it took nearly half an hour for the two on the bed to stop. In the end, he still didn''t make it to the end. Looking at the young husband in his arms, Shen Xiangyan had waited for so long, and it was not too late for the last few months, but the interest was enough to collect. Chapter 25: In the early morning, the warm sunlight shone through the thin clouds into the window, Shen Xiangyan was in a good mood and gently fiddled with Xia Rong''s eyelashes with his fingers. Xia Rong''s eyelashes were slender and curled up, and every time Xia Rong lowered her head slightly and blinked her eyes, Shen Xiangyan felt itchy in her heart, and couldn''t help but want to touch the eyelashes that were not helping to incite and disturb people''s hearts. Xia Rong, who was sleeping soundly at the moment, was completely unaware of what he was doing. Without hesitation, Shen Xiangyan touched the eyelashes that were quiet because the master was asleep at the moment with his fingers. Shen Xiangyan was addicted to doing this, until he realized that Xia Rong was about to open his eyes, then he withdrew his hand resentfully, and said "Good morning" to his little husband as if nothing happened just now. In fact, when Shen Xiangyan fiddled with his eyelashes just now, Xia Rong had already woken up. However, when he woke up in the morning, he often found that Xianggong was touching him somewhere, either grabbing his fingers, or touching his earlobe, and once he even found that Xianggong was playing with a lock of his hair. non-stop. But whenever he wakes up at this time, Xianggong will act as if nothing happened just now, and then avoid his eyes for a short time as if nothing happened, but at this time, Xia Rong will be sensitive to the fact that Xianggong will leak for a moment. Showing a slightly disappointed expression, like a child who lost his beloved toy, Xia Rong thought it was a little funny for him to have such a thought. So after a long time, when Xia Rong wakes up, she will pretend not to be awake first, so as to satisfy Xianggong''s little thought. Xia Rong straightened up her body proudly in her heart, he is a good and considerate husband. Today is also the same as usual, until he felt that it was really not good to be sorry, then he opened his eyes. Of course, she returned a sweet "Good morning" to him as if she hadn''t noticed his abnormality. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª After Shen Xiangyan had breakfast, he went out to go out for a walk, and after checking the account books for the past few days, he stopped by the jewelry store that he and Li Dongsheng were going to open together. The place was chosen on the busiest street. It was a two-story building that was still being renovated. It will take a few days to open, but the name has already been chosen and it will be called Zhuyuexuan. When Shen Xiangyan was leaving, he ran into Li Dongsheng. As soon as they met, the two had an in-depth discussion on the next development of the jewelry building. After discussing the business, Li Dongsheng started talking about other things. He mentioned that he asked a florist to leave him several pots of camellias of a particularly good variety. Listening to him bragging about the appearance of those potted flowers that there are heaven and earth, Shen Xiangyan was also aroused and wanted to go and see together. After seeing the flowers, Shen Xiangyan immediately fell in love with them. Not only did he like them, Shen Xiangyan felt that his husband would also like these potted flowers. Then he used a blueprint of jewelry in a very rude manner, and successfully snatched the pots of camellia reserved by Li Dongsheng. Seeing Li Dongsheng''s daring and aggrieved appearance, Shen Xiangyan was in an inexplicably good mood. When Xia Rong saw that her husband had brought back several pots of camellias, she was overwhelmed with novelty. These potted flowers are just blooming buds, when they are about to bloom. It is not difficult to imagine how beautiful they will be when they really bloom. What is rare is that these pots of camellias include a pot of champion red, a pot of sa plum, and even a pot of pink eighteen bachelors. Shen Xiangyan looked at Xia Rong who lowered his head and sniffed at the camellia, and the hairband with white jade bells hung between his ears as he lowered his head. For a moment, he didn''t know whether she was more beautiful than Huajiao or Huaruiren. Shen Xiangyan rubbed his nose, seeing that Xia Rong loved these potted flowers, it was not in vain that he spent so much effort to **** them from Li Dongsheng. These pots of camellias were naturally to be taken care of by Xia Rong, Shen Xiangyan didn''t dare to do it even if he wanted to, he still remembered that in his previous life he raised a pot of cactus, and then died within a few days for no reason. He could die raising a cactus, not to mention such a delicate camellia, he dared not touch it, for fear that the flower would be ruined by him, which would be a pity. Xia Rong circled the flowers several times before suddenly remembering something and running back to the house. Then Xia Rong dawdled for a while before taking out an invitation card and handing it to Shen Xiangyan. Shen Xiangyan was full of curiosity about the invitation that Xia Rong took a while to hand in. He took the invitation and looked at it. The inviter written on the invitation was Lu Tingsheng, and the content was to invite him to a meeting at Mingxiang Pavilion the next day. get together. Mingxiang Pavilion is the name of a teahouse. The person who posted the post here seems to be an elegant person. He touched the post with his hand and found that it was made of Huanhua paper, and it also smelled of plum blossoms. The post was well written, and the above points all showed that the inviter attached great importance to this invitation. Seeing that Shen Xiangyan was puzzled, Xia Rong briefly talked about his relationship with Gu Chen, the relationship between Gu Chen and Lu Tingsheng, and his guess about this invitation card. After speaking, he twisted his sleeves with his hands and lowered his head, waiting The appearance of the sentence. This invitation was sent by Gu Chen today. As for why Lu Tingsheng invited Shen Xiangyan to have a gathering, Gu Chen was afraid that the person he married would treat him badly, so he wanted to take this opportunity to invite someone who would let Lu Tingsheng take a look at Shen Xiangyan. goods or something. "In the past, if Brother Gu didn''t come to see me often in the Xia family, and would often give me some money and so on so that I could have spare money to reward the servants, my life would not be too easy. Brother Lu and Brother Gu grew up together. We grew up together, and we have met Rong''er a few times, and he is the most polite person." After explaining these few sentences, Xia Rong also felt a little uncomfortable. He didn''t want to use his past to blackmail his husband, but on the one hand, it was Brother Gu''s friendship and kindness, and on the other hand, he was the husband who couldn''t be better for him. Now he can only listen to Mr. Xiang. In short, he has already told the matter. If Mr. Xiang wants to go, that''s fine. But if Xianggong doesn''t want to, then he won''t force it. Anyway, Xianggong treats him well, as long as he knows it himself. After hearing this, Shen Xiangyan also understood Gu Chen''s intentions, and presumably he was a person who really cared about Rong''er. Out of reason and reason, he has to go this time, so just treat it as an appointment with "some kind of uncle in name". Shen Xiangyan patted the little husband''s head, thought for a while and said, "Okay." , then let¡¯s reply to a post and agree to this matter.¡± When Xia Rong heard that her husband agreed, her brows and eyes were stained with a smile. His family''s husband was really kind to him. Seeing his husband was happy, Shen Xiangyan was also in a happy mood, but the happiness didn''t last for a while, and he began to get nervous. Xia Fu didn''t say anything, he didn''t regard the group of people who treated Xia Rong badly as serious relatives at all, if it wasn''t for that kindness, neither he nor Xia Rong would be too sincere towards that end. But this time it''s different, he has to behave better when facing someone who really treats Xia Rong well. I don''t know what the other party is thinking, no matter what, I must leave a good impression on the other party. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Two days later, Shen Xiangyan went to Mingxiang Pavilion for an appointment as scheduled, and opened the private room of the tea house, only to see a man in a royal blue silk shirt sitting inside, this man looked a little thin and pale. But even so, it''s hard to conceal the temperament of this man''s gentle and handsome son. It seems that this person is the Lu Tingsheng who Xia Rong said was weak and sick since he was a child. Thinking of this, Shen Xiangyan cupped his hands at him, "I think this is Brother Lu, who is sinking into Xiangyan." Lu Tingsheng also stood up and bowed politely, "Brother Shen is willing to welcome you together, Tingsheng is not very grateful, please sit down." After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation. Shen Xiangyan was not hypocritical, after the two of them sat down, there was a waiter serving a pot of tea and a few plates of refreshments. The two casually exchanged a few words, and Lu Tingsheng explained the purpose of today''s invitation, "My wife and Mrs. Ling Xia Rong were considered close friends when my wife was in the boudoir, and treated him like a brother. Now that he is married to you, my wife can''t help it." I''m a little worried. It''s our intention to invite you here, but seeing you today, Chen''er can rest assured if you want to come." Shen Xiangyan saw that Lu Tingsheng didn''t mean to beat around the bush on purpose, but came here by name, which was in line with his temper, so he said something about what was on his mind, "Rong''er also told me what you two had done to him before. A lot of care, today I, as a husband, have the cheek to thank you both for him. Please rest assured, Brother Lu, I Shen Xiangyan dare not say anything else, but I will treat Xia Rong like a treasure, and I will live up to it in this life." After hearing this, Lu Tingsheng smiled in satisfaction, "I will replace wine with tea, and I respect Brother Chen''s words, so my husband and I don''t have to worry about it." After speaking, he picked up the teacup in front of him with both hands and drank it down. The next topic became much easier, and the two chatted for nearly half an hour before getting up to say goodbye to each other. After today, Lu Tingsheng will bring Gu Chen back to the Zhuangzi, and before leaving, he even invited Shen Xiangyan to stay in his Zhuangzi for two days if he has time, and it would be a good thing for them to talk at the candle night. Chapter 26: After Shen Xiangyan and Lu Tingsheng separated in Mingxiang Pavilion, the wind started to blow not long after they walked, and after a while, pea-sized raindrops began to fall, and it looked like it was about to rain heavily. When I went out, I saw that the sky was not bad, but Shen Xiangyan didn''t expect it to rain suddenly. There was no way, I couldn''t go back in the heavy rain. Shen Xiangyan found a roof to shelter from the rain, and he planned to wait for the rain to calm down before thinking about going back. . Xia Rong was sitting in the room learning needlework with He Miao. He Miao embroidered on the embroidery frame first, and Xia Rong followed suit. As for embroidery, He Xin was not as proficient as her younger brother, so she just waited on the sidelines, reminding the two busy people to drink some tea to moisten their throats and so on. Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed outside, followed by a muffled thunder. Xia Rong put down the embroidery work in her hand and looked outside, only to see that it was raining heavily outside at some point, Xia Rong was a little anxious, wondering if she would encounter the heavy rain when her husband came back. Out of the corner of his eyes, he passed the camellias in the yard. With such a heavy rain, those pots of camellias were about to bloom. If they were watered by the rain now, they would not be ruined. Xia Rong didn''t care about other things, opened the door and ran into the rain. He Xin and He Miao were startled when they saw the master running outside in such heavy rain, and hurriedly followed, shouting, "Zhengjun, it''s so rainy outside." It¡¯s raining heavily, you¡¯d better go into the house quickly.¡± Seeing that the master wanted to move those pots of camellias, He Xin became even more anxious, "Hua I and He Miao asked someone to come and move them, Zhengjun, go back quickly." "It''s too late, let''s move it down first." The rain is too heavy, and if it continues, the flowers will be bad, and these were given to him by the husband, and he said he would take care of them, how could he let them go . Xia Rong picked up the most precious pot of powder and ran into the house. Seeing that He Xin couldn''t persuade the master, he hurriedly asked He Miao to take care of the master, and went to call someone. After a while, all the servants in the Begonia Yard were called out to help the master move the flowers. Seeing this, Xia Rong was relieved, and was stopped by He Miao and did not run into the rain again. "My master, if you get sick in the rain, the young master will feel sorry for you when you come back." He Miao quickly took out the clean clothes for Xia Rong from the cabinet, and hurriedly urged Zhengjun to change the clothes that had just been worn. Wet clothes, praying that Xia Rong will not really get sick. Xia Rong didn''t care, smiled and said, "I''m not so weak, I didn''t get wet for a while, it''s fine." He Xin pushed the door open from the outside and came in, disapproving of Xia Rong''s running into the rain all over his face, and complained in his tone, "Master doesn''t take his body seriously, Doctor Li has said Yes, your body avoids these things the most. I asked the little girls to boil hot water. You will take a hot bath in a while, and there is also **** soup prepared in the kitchen. This time, master, you must drink a bowl gone." When Xia Rong heard that he wanted to drink **** soup, his little face almost wrinkled into a ball. It was so spicy that he didn''t want to drink it at all. Thinking that Xianggong hadn''t come back yet, he looked out of the window again, and said worriedly, "It''s raining so hard, I don''t know if my husband will be trapped on the road." "Your Majesty, don''t worry, I''ve asked Feng Qin to bring people and coir raincoats to meet the young master." He Xin, who was promoted by Shen Xiangyan in the past two years, has become more and more organized. Xia Rong handles all the big and small things in the house. Fortunately, He Xin is a good person who never forgets his roots. He has always been loyal to Xia Rong and served her wholeheartedly. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª When Shen Xiangyan came back, the rain was much lighter. When Feng Qin found him, he was still hiding from the rain under the eaves, and with the coir raincoat and umbrella, he didn''t get much rain along the way. But when he came back, Shen Xiangyan still poured himself a large bowl of **** soup. In this ancient times, the most feared thing was getting sick, even a small wind and cold could lead to big problems. While drinking **** soup, Shen Xiangyan listened to He Xin''s report, and learned that the little husband had dared to go out in the heavy rain just for those pots of broken flowers. to the back room. Xia Rong knew it was not good when He Xin and Xiang Xiang announced his situation, so she quickly shrank herself into the chair to reduce the sense of presence. Unexpectedly, Xianggong picked him up and walked into the house without giving him a chance to explain. Xianggong has never been like this before, and he has always carried him away in the past, so how could he be so barbaric. Having my stomach stuck on Xianggong''s shoulder felt uncomfortable, Xia Rong couldn''t help but struggled, "Sanggong, I was wrong, let me down quickly, ah!" Sudden slap on the buttocks, Xia Rong''s originally fair face turned a suspicious blush, but she was actually beaten there by her husband, it was really embarrassing. "Don''t move around, be honest." Shen Xiangyan was distracted by Xia Rong, but he had to be taught a lesson today, otherwise how would he know what would happen if he didn''t take good care of himself. He can spoil him with everything, but this is not enough. Thinking of the precautions that Dr. Li told him, he would not dare to let Xia Rong dip in cold water on weekdays. Today, while he was not around, he dared to dive into the rain by himself in such a heavy rain, just to move those potted flowers. If you don''t teach me a good lesson, you still don''t know what to do. Shen Xiangyan carried Xia Rong all the way into the house, put him on the sandalwood bed, ignored Xia Rong''s struggle, and pressed his upper body into his arms. He slapped Xia Rong''s **** ten times in a row with great strength, and then asked seriously, "Do you know what''s wrong?" "I know I''m wrong, woohoo, my husband, I was wrong." Xia Rong has been raised by Shen Xiangyan since she married, and she has never been wronged like this. It was the kind of place where he was beaten, and he didn''t know whether he was more ashamed or more wronged, his voice was choked up. When Shen Xiangyan was about to hit him a few times, he knew that the little husband would be sad, but he did it anyway, and when he heard Xia Rong''s voice was crying, he also felt distressed. But if you go to coax him now, the few beatings today will be in vain. So he suppressed the reluctance in his heart, and continued to ask without any ups and downs in his voice, "Then what''s wrong, tell me." "Rong''er shouldn''t, shouldn''t know that it''s raining so hard, but still, go out." The voice was intermittent, he was like this, and the husband still forced him, Xia Rong was wronged for a while, lying in Shen Xiangyan''s arms, tears finally burst into tears Couldn''t help but fell down. When Shen Xiangyan heard that Xia Rong was really crying this time, he smiled wryly in his heart. He was busy trying to lift the head of the person in his arms, but the little husband was still trying his best, so he just hid in his arms and refused to come out. Shen Xiangyan had no choice but to coax softly, "Okay, it''s my husband''s fault, I shouldn''t hit you, don''t be angry with my husband, okay?" "You also know your body. Dr. Li has checked the pulse several times, but which time did he remind me to keep you in the cold? If you dare to run in such a heavy rain, you won''t be afraid of my husband''s worry." Seeing that Xia Rong still didn''t move at all, Shen Xiangyan had no choice but to continue, "Be good, don''t be angry with your husband, if you cry, you will become a little cat, and it won''t be pretty." After crying for a while, Xia Rong was not so sad. She got up from her husband''s arms, wiped away her tears and hummed, "It''s not a little cat." Shen Xiangyan took out a handkerchief from his bosom, and wiped the little husband''s face carefully, "Okay, okay, it''s not a little cat, does your **** still hurt?" Thinking of the place where he was beaten just now, Xia Rong''s face became even hotter, but when he thought that his husband would beat him, he still felt aggrieved, "It hurts, it hurts to death." The big eyes wet with tears were full of tears. It is an accusation. Shen Xiangyan was helpless, he didn''t beat him hard at all, but he thought so in his heart, but he didn''t dare to say it out of his mouth, "Then, can I rub your husband for you, or you can also hit him a few times to relieve your anger." After speaking, he followed the trend Want to knead. I never thought that Xianggong would be like this, how could he rub that kind of place, Xia Rong hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it, "No, you don''t need to rub it." Seeing that his hand couldn''t stop it, Xia Rong hurriedly rolled on the bed. Shen Xiangyan just wanted to tease him on purpose, but he didn''t dare to really bully people at this time. It would be difficult if he really annoyed people, but he could do something else. After a while, Xia Rong''s uncontrollable laughter came from the bed, like silver bells, one after another. Looking closely, Shen Xiangyan was pressing down on Xia Rong and scratching his itchy flesh. The two quarreled for a while, because Xia Rong laughed a little too much just now, and she was a little out of breath. Shen Xiangyan gave Xia Rong a sigh of relief, "Don''t worry about those two potted flowers next time, that''s all, you can buy them when you run out of flowers. If something happens to Rong''er, Xianggong will feel bad." Xia Rong knew in her heart that Xianggong was worried about herself, but, "The flower was given to Rong''er by Xianggong." Shen Xiangyan had mixed feelings for a moment, was it because he gave it to him? Because he gave it with such care, Shen Xiangyan hugged the person in his arms tightly, and because of Xia Rong like this, he couldn''t let go. Chapter 27: When Shen Xiangyan slept until midnight, he felt as if he was holding a stove in his arms. Fortunately, he was worried that Xia Rong would feel uncomfortable at night if Xia Rong was exposed to rain during the day, so he didn''t dare to fall asleep at all. Instinctively, he probed his hand to touch the temperature of the person in his arms. The skin under his tentacles was scorching hot, and he felt something was wrong. Shen Xiangyan suddenly woke up from his sleep. He patted Xia Rong''s unnaturally red face due to illness, and found that he seemed to be burnt out and didn''t respond. Fearing that Xia Rong would be in danger if he continued, Shen Xiangyan hurriedly shouted, "Who is watching the night outside, go and call the doctor." In the second half of the night tonight, it was the turn of a little girl named Fei Cui, because the two masters had nothing to do at night on weekdays, and more and more people were serving in the house later. He Xin and He Miao, who were originally in charge of the night watch, only stayed on watch for a while in the first half of the night, and after the two masters fell asleep, they were replaced by the little girls. Fei Cui heard that the master was in a hurry to call for a doctor in the middle of the night, and knew that something had happened, but she couldn''t delay, so she hurriedly responded and ran out. When He Xin and He Miao dared to come over when they heard the noise, they found that Zhengjun of their family had a fever in the middle of the night. Then he was worried and blamed himself, it must be because of the rain during the day. But now is not the time to think about it, He Xin hastily ordered someone to bring water and twist the veil to cool down Zhengjun. Shen Xiangyan put the half-wet handkerchief on Xia Rong''s forehead, and gave him two sips of water. It was hard to see Xia Rong''s frown relaxed because of the discomfort, but it didn''t last long, and the veil on Xia Rong''s forehead no longer worked. Seeing that Xia Rong was suffering so badly, she kept yelling words like "discomfort", "pain" and "hot" indistinctly, but because of her illness, the voice was extremely weak, so Shen Xiangyan put his ear close to this place. Only then did I hear what Xia Rong was saying. Shen Xiangyan couldn''t stand it anymore, so he ordered He Xin and He Miao to bring some spirits, and rubbed Xia Rong''s skin with the wine himself. When he was in the orphanage, he saw the old dean who took care of them do this to a child with a high fever. He remembered that this method of cooling down was quite effective. When the servants reported that the doctor was coming, Shen Xiangyan had just finished wiping wine on Xia Rong''s upper body, quickly tidied up the clothes for Xia Rong, and covered him with the quilt, and then invited the doctor in. This doctor is naturally not the highly skilled Doctor Li who sees Xia Rong every few months. Doctor Li lives at the foot of Mount Fucui. Doctor Li may not be there either. So the servant invited here is a doctor in the town''s medical clinic, and I heard that his medical skills are good. The doctor took the pulse and said it was a common wind-cold fever, but the disease was indeed a bit dangerous. Fortunately, the patient was effectively cooled in an emergency, and the condition has stabilized. He only needs to take a few doses of medicine to sweat. . Xia Rong only felt that her head was groggy and her throat was sore. It didn''t get better until she was fed with saliva. He slept like this for an unknown how long before he was shaken awake again, and then he was fed a bowl of something he didn''t know what it was, but the bitterness in his mouth made him a little confused to know that the bowl might be medicine, but he Now he really didn''t have any strength at all, and subconsciously he just knew that this thing was useful to him, so he didn''t like the bitter taste the most, so he reluctantly drank the medicine. Seeing that Xia Rong had taken the medicine, Shen Xiangyan felt relieved, and lowered his head to test the temperature of Xia Rong''s forehead with his own. It still felt a little hot, but it was much better than before. After tossing and tossing for half the night, Shen Xiangyan didn''t dare to sleep now, so he just lay on the bed with his clothes on, hugged Xia Rong and squinted, changing the veil on his head from time to time, in case Xia Rong burned again in the middle of the night . When Xia Rong woke up the next day, she felt her head was heavy. She tried to open her eyes and looked around the room, but she didn''t find her husband, only He Miao who was waiting at the side. After asking He Miao, I found out that he had a fever last night, and it was quite serious at first. Xianggong took care of him all night without closing his eyes. He didn''t go to the kitchen until this morning when he saw that his fever had subsided. He said he wanted to cook the porridge himself so that Xia Rong could drink it when he woke up. Xia Rong closed his eyes again. When it was raining yesterday, he swore that he was in good health, but he fell ill at night. It is no wonder that his husband insisted on teaching him yesterday. Alas, he was tortured yesterday. Xianggong beat him there, he won''t be beating him when he recovered from his illness, Xia Rong''s little face turned red unknowingly for a moment. When Shen Xiangyan came in, what he saw was Xia Rong lying there, eyes closed, blushing. Hurriedly handing the tray in his hand to He Miao, he went forward to check on Xia Rong''s condition, and felt that the temperature was normal, so why was his face so red? Xia Rong noticed Xianggong approaching, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xianggong''s anxious and worried expression. He didn''t know what was going on, but he showed a dumbfounded expression. "How is it, Rong''er, do you still feel uncomfortable?" He stretched out his hand to help Xia Rong halfway up, took a pillow on the side for him to lean on his back, and helped Xia Rong''s broken hair on his forehead. behind the ear. Shen Xiangyan was really worried. Although he no longer had a fever, he might still be uncomfortable. Xia Rong shook his head, "I''m not feeling sick, I''m just hungry." He smelled the familiar sweet smell in the air, thinking that it might be made by Xianggong himself. Xianggong hasn''t cooked for a long time, thinking of this bowl of porridge , Xia Rong only felt that her stomach was so empty that she wanted to eat. Shen Xiangyan amusedly rubbed Xia Rong''s messy sleeping hair, and pressed down the one that stood up for him, then turned around and took the porridge bowl, and fed it to Xia Rong himself. Don''t look at Xia Rong eating well at the moment, if this snack food person knows that he can only eat light food for several days because of illness, he will definitely not be happy. It''s great now, he doesn''t need to repeat it, just the fact that he needs to avoid food when he is sick is enough for Xia Rong to remember for a long time. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª After Xia Rong''s body fully recovered, the Mid-Autumn Festival was almost approaching, and he also received a letter sent by Gu Chen, not to mention the usual greetings to him in the letter, which really attracted Xia Rong. The most important thing is that Brother Gu is pregnant, and the news that he is pregnant with a baby. Brother Gu''s excitement can be felt between the lines in the letter, even now he is sincerely happy for Brother Gu. The fact that it is difficult to conceive as a twin is known to everyone in Feng Yuguo. Even if it has been more than two years since Gu Chen married Lu Tingsheng, it is really not easy to successfully conceive a baby this time. Xia Rong put her hand on her belly and touched it. When will there be a baby here? What would it be like to have a baby? It must be very cute and smart, just like a husband! I''m so envious, I really want to have a baby like my husband, but to give birth to a baby, I have to do that kind of thing first, and he and my husband haven''t done it until now. Xia Rong sorted it out in her mind. If she wanted a baby, she had to do that kind of thing first, but Xianggong said that it would take a long time for him to grow up. Maybe he could conceive a baby during this time. Xia Rong stared at her belly and looked at it, waiting for him to grow up too slowly, and finally decided that in order to conceive a baby as soon as possible, he must find a chance to let his husband touch him. Chapter 28: When Shen Xiangyan came in with a plate of dim sum, he saw his little husband was rubbing his belly with one hand, and leaning on his head with the other, meditating. Shen Xiangyan only thought it was interesting, does the young husband still have something on his mind? Putting the plate of dim sum on the table casually, took another piece of my husband''s favorite osmanthus cake and shook it under his nose. Seeing that there was no response, Shen Xiangyan was surprised and took the dim sum and shook it again. Only then did Xia Rong come to her senses. Seeing that it was her favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Xia Rong opened her mouth to bite the piece of cake, but Shen Xiangyan stopped and stuffed the piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake into her mouth and took a bite. Today, the osmanthus cake made by Rong''s has added milk, not to mention it is really a taste that my husband will like. The fragrance of milk and a touch of sweet-scented osmanthus are neither too sweet nor too greasy. Although the taste is really good, Shen Xiangyan doesn''t particularly like to eat this kind of pastry, at most, he would just taste a piece or two of it when he saw how delicious Xia Rong''s food was. Xia Rong saw that the pastry from her mouth had disappeared and even entered her husband''s mouth, so she curled her lips and got up to take a piece from the plate. He doesn''t want to pay attention to this husband who likes to bully him more and more. When he was sick and only allowed to eat light food before, my husband liked to shake a plate of snacks in front of him, or deliberately eat meat dishes in front of him when eating. Every time I see that he is hungry, I will not let him touch it on the grounds that he is still nourishing his body and cannot eat these. If you don''t let him eat, you will be shown to him. Every time you have to eat in front of him on purpose, just to greed him on purpose. Xia Rong bit the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand resentfully. He is very vengeful, and now he still wants to use this matter to bully him, so he is not afraid. The doctor said that he can eat normally. Xia Rong bit the puff pastry in her mouth, thinking of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, mid-autumn festival, mid-autumn festival, admiring the moon. That''s right, he can use the name of admiring the moon to get his husband drunk, and then he can do this and that. Shen Xiangyan suddenly felt that the little husband sitting across from him was smiling a little strangely. Could it be that he has been bullying others recently? But looking at the little husband sitting opposite him, I still feel a little distressed. After this illness, the last bit of baby fat on his little husband''s face disappeared, and he turned into a standard oval face. He has been raised carefully for so long, and he has such a good appetite on weekdays, but he still hasn''t grown much meat, but he is much taller than when he first came here. Because at home, Xia Rong only wore a half-worn lotus-blue satin robe with silver silk embroidered with wishful patterns, and she simply tied half of her hair in a bun with a green jade hairpin. Sitting there neatly, holding the snack in one hand, and catching the broken snacks in the other hand, Shen Xiangyan was a little surprised for a moment, unknowingly, the little man he had raised for nearly two years had already fallen He looks like an adult. Xia Rong didn''t notice anything unusual about her husband, so she skipped the unfinished plan in her heart, and first asked her husband for something, "Msister, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and I''m not sure about Rong''er''s gift list. Help me take a look." After finishing speaking, he didn''t care whether the husband was free or not, so he dragged the husband to the study. Ever since Shen Xiangyan came back from the south, things like family relationships have already made Fu Lang follow his mind. Most of the people who need to come and go in the house are people he knew when he was doing business, and at most some neighbors and friends are added. Although it is not too difficult to take care of these things, for some unfamiliar people, Xia Rong still needs Shen Xiangyan''s guidance. Xia Rong studied earnestly, and Shen Xiangyan taught with all his heart. Although he wanted Xia Rong to be inseparable from him for the rest of his life, he didn''t want Xia Rong to become a dodder who could only cling to his life. So seeing the little husband growing up day by day, he has to teach Xia Rong little by little not only the things in this house, but also many other things. Of course, he will try his best not to let danger or those dark things get close to Xia Rong. His husband just needs to be like now, with a smile on his face every day. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Moon Chasing Festival or the Reunion Festival. You can know the meaning of this festival just by listening to these two names. In fact, in Fengyu country, this festival is more about celebrating the harvest, so on this day, there is always a table of sumptuous meals, and then the family reunite to eat a meal, and after the meal, everyone gathers together to enjoy the moon. some type of. In order for Xia Rong to prepare in advance for today, He Miao specially asked He Miao to carefully buy a jar of high-quality sweet-scented osmanthus brew. It''s a pity that Xia Rong''s drinking capacity is very light, and it is impossible for him to really get drunk. In order not to get drunk first, he discussed with He Miao and decided to prepare two wine jugs in advance. When he really needs to drink, He Miao will pour the wine in his glass for him, and it will be poured on him naturally. The wine in the glass will always be sweet water, but at Xianggong''s place, he just rushes to pour him real wine. Xia Rong doesn''t know yet, he is thinking so well now, but it may not be as smooth as the deadline. How could his husband be so easy to fool, but it was too late when Xia Rong realized it. After dinner, Xia Rong went back to her room to take a good bath, specially chose a new dress that she was reluctant to wear before, and changed into it. She looked at the boy in the mirror again and again until she was satisfied before running away. Looking for a husband in the yard. Shen Xiangyan was sitting on the bamboo chairs prepared in advance by the servants in the Begonia courtyard. On the table next to him were the fruit snacks that had been prepared earlier, of course there were also moon cakes and a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing. While Shen Xiangyan was looking at the pot of wine in doubt, he turned his head and saw the little husband in a moon-white gown walking towards this side step by step, his figure under the moonlight was even more slender. Shen Xiangyan clenched his fingers unconsciously, saying that it is true to see beauties under the moon. It wasn''t until Xia Rong walked in that he realized that his husband had a suet white jade hairpin on his head. He was wearing the same clothes he brought back from the south. The collar, cuffs and hem were all embroidered with gold thread crabapple flowers. When he saw this style at that time, he immediately thought of his little husband standing under the crabapple tree in his yard looking at him with admiration, so Shen Xiangyan specially asked the tailor of that shop to make a suit according to Xia Rong''s figure. brought back. Around Xia Rong''s waist was a three-finger-wide tassel sash with pearls hanging down, and she could still hear the subtle sound of the beads colliding when she walked. Although there is still an imperceptible childishness between the brows and eyes, but what is rare is that the whole person gives people a very clean feeling. Xia Rong secretly took a deep breath, and then continued to walk towards Xianggong. Although he had hinted to himself several times before, he was still at a loss in front of Xianggong. Just when he was about to sit on the chair on the other side of Xianggong, Shen Xiangyan pulled him onto his lap and sat down. Looking at the nervous Xia Rong, who was clearly well-groomed, and the jug that would never have appeared on the table, a thought flashed through Shen Xiangyan''s mind, maybe the little husband is planning to seduce him, Shen Xiangyan He chuckled lightly, but didn''t expose it, and was ready to see what the little husband wanted to do. He Miao was still waiting on the sidelines, Xia Rong always felt a little uncomfortable sitting on her husband''s lap, but thinking of what she was going to do tonight, Xia Rong didn''t say anything, she just took the jug from the table and poured it for Shen Xiangyan A glass of wine, "Xianggong, you can try the good osmanthus brew, it is said that the taste is very good." Shen Xiangyan took a drink from the cup in a funny way, so could it be that he wanted to drink his wine? His little husband is really interesting tonight, even though he never drinks alcohol at home, this is why he was puzzled when he saw the flagon that suddenly appeared just now. But it doesn''t necessarily mean that he can''t drink very much. Based on his knowledge of his husband, since he wants to get drunk, he must have other tricks. Thinking of this, Shen Xiangyan picked up the jug on the table and poured another glass, and handed it to Xia Rong''s mouth, "This wine tastes really good, Rong''er will try it too?" Xia Rong didn''t dare to really drink this cup, otherwise he would be drunk, so he hurriedly pushed away, "No need, sir, drink it yourself, I, me, He Miao will pour the wine for me." After speaking, he turned to He Miao With a wink, He Miao was about to take another jug ??to pour wine for Xia Rong, but Shen Xiangyan waved his hand to stop him, "Okay, you don''t need to wait on me, let''s go down." Xia Rong was dumbfounded now, "Don''t, let He Miao stay..." "En? Doesn''t Xia Rong want to be alone with my husband and I?" Shen Xiangyan interrupted Xia Rong''s words in a serious manner, but he was already teased by his husband. It seems that the problem lies in another pot of wine , Does this little trinket of my own think that this little measurement will work? Thinking this way in his heart, Shen Xiangyan still didn''t show his face at all. Xia Rong watched He Miao turn and leave with a look of reluctance, and then looked at the glass of wine handed to her mouth. If she had known that he would not have done this, he would not be in a cocoon if it went on like this. "En...Rong''er doesn''t want to drink like this, don''t tell me I can''t feed you in a different way if you want my husband, oh well, I''ll make you happy." As he spoke, he sucked the cup of sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed into Xia Rong''s tender lips. Passed the wine in his mouth. "Hmm..." The hot kiss was mixed with the faint scent of wine and sweet-scented osmanthus, and Xia Rong was quickly intoxicated by it, unknowingly swallowing the wine into her stomach. Seeing such a cute little husband, Shen Xiangyan suddenly became interested. He didn''t know what Xia Rong would look like after he passed out. Anyway, with him watching, nothing would happen. Thinking of this, Shen Xiangyan picked up the jug and poured another glass of wine, and then passed it to Xia Rong little by little according to the drinking method just now. After feeding three glasses, Shen Xiangyan let Xia Rong go. After three glasses of wine, Xia Rong''s eyes had lost their usual agility, and instead appeared a bit blurred. Her fair face was slightly blush, and a few strands of her well-combed hair fell to her forehead. When she tilted her eyes, she lost her original clean temperament, but instead added a bit of charm. Chapter 29: Seeing Xia Rong like this, Shen Xiangyan''s heart trembled, he closed his eyes to suppress the restlessness in his body, and asked coaxingly, "Is Rong''er trying to get me drunk today?" Xia Rong''s capacity for drinking could not hold up to three glasses of wine, and he was the one who specially found the wine to get his husband drunk, so he was a little dizzy at the moment, "Get drunk, eh? To make him drunk, yes .¡± "Why are you drunk? What about after you''re drunk? En?" Shen Xiangyan kissed Xia Rong''s cheek, lowered his voice and continued to bewitch. "Baby, do you have a baby when you''re drunk?" Xia Rong looked at Shen Xiangyan with an expression that you don''t even know. Shen Xiangyan raised his eyebrows, he was actually despised by his drunken husband, why didn''t he know what drinking had anything to do with the baby. Seeing that Xianggong still didn''t understand what he was talking about, Xia Rong became a little anxious, wrapped her arms around his neck and gnawed towards his mouth. This is really chewing, Shen Xiangyan felt his mouth hurt a little. Now he was surprised if he didn''t understand, and patted Fu Lang''s butt, this little guy actually dared to plan to climb his own bed, well, they have been sleeping together all the time and they don''t need their own bed. Drunk Xia Rong is really very obsessive, usually he would be shy when hugged, but now he can''t let go. Shen Xiangyan looked at the whole person wrapped around him like an octopus with some dumbfounding, and helplessly hugged him back to the house. Ask the little girls to prepare hot water for bathing, and Shen Xiangyan is going to bathe Xia Rong himself. The warm water vapor scattered on the water surface little by little, making it difficult to see clearly. The hairpin on Xia Rong''s head had already been pulled out by Shen Xiangyan, and her jet-black hair was scattered. The slightly slender body and slender legs quickly submerged in the water. Looking at Xia Rong like this, Shen Xiangyan''s heart throbbed endlessly. However, the bathing really didn''t stop at all, Xia Rong started to tossing after getting into the water, and she would dive into the water if she didn''t catch it, which scared Shen Xiangyan out of control. He was worried about going underwater when he was sober, let alone drunk now. Shen Xiangyan had no choice but to wash him as quickly as possible and then carry someone out to dry him. When Xia Rong wanted to dress him, Xia Rong was not happy anymore. The baby came and went and mumbled non-stop. Shen Xiangyan was able to bear it, and now he couldn''t bear to see his naked husband rubbing and grinding on his body. She closed her eyes and finally asked, "Rong''er, do you really want a baby?" "En! I want a baby." Xia Rong couldn''t figure out what Xianggong was talking to him, but she only remembered that she wanted to have a baby like Brother Gu. Hearing the desired answer, Shen Xiangyan picked up Xia Rong and went to bed. The skin that had just been soaked in hot water was still slightly pink, afraid of Xia Rong''s pain, he did enough foreplay. The moon outside the window was full circle, and the lights in the horn lamp inside the house were dim. Two figures overlapped each other under the hibiscus tent, and a slender and weak hand stretched out from under the tent. Thin beads of sweat. However, that wrist was quickly pulled back by the person in the tent, Shen Xiangyan turned the person under him over, and a broken voice came from the tent, mixed with Xia Rong''s weak crying from time to time Voice. By the time Xia Rong was able to sleep, the sky had already turned pale, and Xia Rong''s last feeling was that she was very hot and very tired. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Xia Rong didn''t fully wake up after sleeping until noon. Every time she moved her body, she felt as if her whole body was no longer her own. Looking at it, his body under the quilt was dotted with ambiguous marks one by one. Xia Rong pulled up the quilt to cover her face, she was really covered last night, it was a shame. Looking at this person who was not ashamed last night and who was so entangled with him, now he knows how to be ashamed, Shen Xiangyan chuckled, "Why is he so shy now, I don''t know who was so enthusiastic last night Do you still want to get me drunk? En?" Pulling Xia Rong closer to him, he stretched out his hand to Xia Rong''s waist and kneaded him. Although it was Xia Rong''s first time last night, he still endured it. I couldn''t stop asking for it twice more, it''s no wonder I don''t feel uncomfortable now. Xia Rong was pressed very comfortably, but still felt ashamed to see others, and hummed, "Don''t talk about it, my husband." The voice was small through the quilt, who knew that he would be like that when he was drunk, and he didn''t want to, okay? good. "You are really getting more and more courageous. You even dare to plot against my husband?" Even though he said so, no matter how he heard it, there was a hint of pampering. Xia Rong wasn''t afraid of him either, and said with a smile, "Who is Mr. Xianggong, you spoiled me." After hearing this, Shen Xiangyan smiled from the bottom of his heart, and said softly, "It''s good to know that I pamper you." After speaking, he placed a light kiss on Xia Rong''s forehead, and the first meeting under the hijab on the wedding day was already tempting. After getting along for a long time, they have already become emotional. That''s why I want to spoil you, want to spoil you, want to spoil you so capriciously, so that Xia Rong can never leave him, right? ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Although he was prescribed meat, for the sake of Xia Rong''s health, Shen Xiangyan still insisted on having **** every few days, but he would ask for more each time. It''s better to kill people this time. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhuyuexuan also opened smoothly. Because of the novelty of jewelry, it quickly attracted many customers. Maybe it was because both ends of the business needed to be taken care of, Shen Xiangyan started to get busy, and had some social engagements from time to time, and he came back much later. Xia Rong didn''t think too much about it, she just felt sorry for her husband''s hard work in recent days, and learned how to make soup with Mrs. Rong when there was nothing to do at home. Body. When Xianggong came back that day, he drank some wine, probably because he was afraid that he would smell bad and didn''t get close to him, so he went to take a bath directly. When Xia Rong was helping to clean up the clothes that Xianggong had changed, she smelled that Xianggong had another scent besides the smell of wine. Xia Rong smelled it strangely, because Xianggong made incense every time he went to the fragrance room. It came out with a different flavor, but it seems that Xianggong has never been to the fragrance room today. Although Xia Rong was a little puzzled, she didn''t take it to heart, and quickly forgot about it, and turned to ask someone to bring supper. Every time Xianggong goes to this kind of place where he wants to drink, he must not be full. Now that it is delivered to Xianggong, he can just eat it after taking a bath. When Shen Xiangyan came out, he saw the prepared meals and felt warm in his heart. He kissed his husband on the cheek, knowing that Xia Rong was not hungry, but he still pulled him to sit down and eat together. Xia Rong saw that Xianggong was eating deliciously, and picked up chopsticks to pick up some food for him from time to time. After eating, Shen Xiangyan played with Fulang''s little hand, and said calmly, "By the way, I heard that the Zhang family and the Xia family are engaged today, and Xia Tian will marry soon." Xia Rong was a little surprised, with an unbelievable expression on her face, "Xia also agreed to this marriage?" Shen Xiangyan patted Xia Rong on the head, "It is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, there is no reason for a woman to decide whether to marry or not." Although this was the truth, Xia Rong still didn''t quite believe it. With his sister-in-law''s temperament, how could she agree to this. "Isn''t it good for her to marry someone? It''s good if she can get married." Shen Xiangyan smiled and didn''t continue this topic. If she wants to marry, Father Xia must also let her marry. The Xia family''s silk business has gone through a big hole, and they urgently need the Zhang family''s 10,000 taels of dowry turnover. Of course, he just pushed hard secretly, but he didn''t really make a move. In the future, even if the Xia family relied on him, they couldn''t rely on him. What''s more, even if Father Xia had the courage to survive this crisis with a little bit of responsibility, he wouldn''t be so happy to agree to the Zhang family''s marriage proposal. Facing the yellow and white things, didn''t he just love himself for so long without even thinking about it? Daughter pushed out. As for Mrs. Xia''s thoughts, what did a woman do. Xia Rong was still immersed in the news just now, and didn''t know what it was like for a moment, until she heard her husband call him, and then realized that she was actually distracted while talking to her husband. "Little rascal, I can still lose my mind while talking to your husband-in-law." Shen Xiangyan pinched Xia Rong''s nose with his hand, "What, why don''t you want to go to the Oriole Hall to listen to the opera? I heard that there is a new play coming up Understand." "Ah? Go, go, Rong''er is going, my husband will take me there." When Xia Rong heard that she was going to take him to the Oriole Pavilion, she looked at her husband pitifully, with a begging expression on her face. Seeing his appearance, Shen Xiangyan laughed and said, "Okay, I know you like this, so I''ll take you there tomorrow. But I promised to take you there, Mr. Rong, how can you repay me, Rong''er?" After finishing speaking He just touched Xia Rong''s waist. These days he also touched many sensitive places of his husband, and this waist is one of them. After being touched by Shen Xiangyan like this, Xia Rong''s limbs were about to go limp, and she hurriedly begged for mercy, "Please forgive Rong''er, I just did it last night." "In your heart, being a husband is just such a beast?" Shen Xiangyan saw that Xia Rong was a little frightened, and couldn''t help laughing in a low voice, "What are you thinking about, you little pervert? You are making the soup that you made yesterday, it tastes good, and my husband likes it very much." Xia Rong was greatly embarrassed by Shen Xiangyan''s behavior, he is not a pervert, and now he still dares to laugh at him, Xia Rong pushed her husband away angrily, and hid in the house, not wanting to see anyone anymore. Seeing Xia Rong''s appearance, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t help laughing out loud, his little husband really made the joke even more amusing. Chapter 30: This night in Xia''s house was not at all peaceful, Xia Tian looked at his father in disbelief, and couldn''t believe that these words came from his father''s mouth. "Father, what are you talking about? Who are you going to promise me to?" Xia Tian stared, and now he still thinks he heard it wrong. "Zhang Ningyu from the Zhang family, I''ve met that child before, and he is a good match with you, and the old couple of the Zhang family have no children, so they raised Zhang as their own son." Father Xia really didn''t think that What''s wrong with Zhang Ningyu, the family is rich, and they are willing to pay 10,000 taels of bride price to marry his daughter with such a bad temper. As for the fact that he had several concubines in the house before he married his main wife, what''s the matter? It''s not normal for a man to be lustful. Anything to play with. "I won''t marry. Whoever wants to marry that country bumpkin, I won''t marry." After Xia Xia heard who it was, she still couldn''t believe it. How could her father, who had always loved him, marry him to that kind of person. "I have collected half of the dowry money. How can you say that you will not marry if you don''t want to marry? You don''t even look at what people in this town say about you. Your reputation is like this. The Zhang family is willing to marry you It''s pretty good." Xia''s father was really angry when he saw his daughter still messing around, isn''t it enough that their family has been pointed at recently? It''s all because this daughter doesn''t know what to do, and if Xia Tian''s marriage is completed, the shortfall in his shop will be made up. There''s nothing wrong with such a double win. When Mrs. Xia entered the room, she saw the father and daughter arguing, and hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded, "Master, Ji Ji is still a child and doesn''t understand anything. Master, don''t be angry, don''t be like her." Care about. Ji Ji and you too, how can you talk to your father like this, apologize to your father quickly." After finishing speaking, he winked at his daughter. Xia Tian was still feeling uncomfortable, but seeing her mother winking at her, she was blessed and said, holding her breath, "It''s all my daughter''s fault, dad, don''t be angry with me." She didn''t want to marry that surname Zhang''s, what''s more, the last time I saw him on the street, he almost scratched his face, so he must have no good intentions if he insists on marrying himself this time. "Look at her too, how old she is, and she still doesn''t know what''s good or bad, you''re used to it. I''m not doing it for her own good, she''s just mad at me like this." Seeing Xia Xia''s apology, Xia''s father calmed down a bit, But he couldn''t help but blame Mrs. Xia. Mrs. Xia held back her temper and tried to persuade her a few more words before asking cautiously, "Master, then there is no other way for Ji Ji''s marriage?" "Is there any other way? I think Zhang''s family is very good. I have collected half of the gift money. It''s okay. This marriage is settled like this. What do women know?" Xia''s father saw Mrs. Xia mentioning this. Something happened, and after a few words, he went to the backyard to find his little concubine. There were only Xia Xia and Mrs. Xia left in the room. When Xia Tian thought of marrying that earth leopard, he angrily smashed all the tea bowls on the table to the ground, and the room was filled with the sound of ceramics breaking. "My little aunt, don''t make trouble at this time. Later, your father will be even more angry when he hears that you are like this. Now we should think of a way." Mrs. Xia will only make a scene because she doesn''t understand anything. My little ancestor''s lungs hurt. "What else can I do? I think Dad is determined to marry me. Mother, that bumpkin must have no good intentions in marrying me. No, I have to go to him and ask him." About to run outside, Mrs. Xia had a headache, she slapped the table fiercely and said angrily, "Don''t you think my reputation is not bad enough, be honest with me, don''t even think about going anywhere. Somebody, please take the young lady back to the yard." Here, watch her and don''t let her run around." ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Naturally, the Shen family didn''t know what happened in the summer house that night. The next day, Shen Xiangyan was woken up early by Xia Rong, and it was only Chen time when the two had packed up and had breakfast. Shen Xiangyan looked at Xia Rong who was sitting on the side with a funny face, no matter how late the first show was at a singing place like the Oriole Hall, the little husband called himself up so early in the morning and couldn''t go , and now I''m sitting there alone, arguing with myself. Shen Xiangyan had seen enough of Xia Rong''s little awkwardness, rubbed Xia Rong''s head and said with a smile, "Let''s go, seeing that you can''t sit still anymore, let''s take you outside for a stroll first." Seeing that her husband didn''t blame him, Xia Rong also followed Shen Xiangyan out of the house with a smile on her face. The two stopped and stopped all the way, and arrived at Tingli Hall just in time for Sishi''s first scene. As usual, the two chose a private room upstairs, ordered tea and snacks, and watched the play. Today''s play is about a beautiful-looking Shuang''er who sponsored his childhood sweetheart to go to Beijing to take the exam. As a result, the lover lived up to expectations and became the champion in high school. The emperor saw the champion student Yushu Linfeng and wanted to give him the princess. The childhood sweetheart refused to compromise. In the end, the emperor was moved and let Zhuangyuan Lang Ke marry the two as his wife. Shen Xiangyan couldn''t accept it because of this magical plot. Since the number one scholar couldn''t forget his childhood sweetheart, he wanted him to be alone. In the end, he resisted the decree. The emperor asked him to marry both of them, so he accepted the two with great joy. This wife is really a story of great fortune. Shen Xiangyan turned his head and looked at the people around him. They all looked like this is a good show, and they acted really well. It can only be said that the three views are different created by cultural differences. He looked back and saw that his little husband was frowning and pursing his lips, with a completely different expression from the others. Shen Xiangyan picked up his teacup and smiled knowingly, his little husband has his example, how could he not be able to empathize with such a beautiful thing that others think. He caressed Xia Rong''s back, and said with a light smile, "Why, did you realize that your husband and I are so nice now?" Xia Rong turned her head and glared at her husband. It wasn''t because of this, but because the actor who played the role of childhood sweetheart Shuanger was always looking this way. He had noticed it when he was acting just now, and the actor was always looking at them when he came on stage. This time, the direction of his eyes seems to be looking at his husband. Xia Rong bit her lip, maybe she was thinking too much. When the two of them got up after the play and were about to leave, they saw a little girl coming to stop her, "Young master, my master asks you to sit down for a while, he wants to thank you face to face for what happened yesterday." Shen Xiangyan felt displeased when this little girl stopped him, frowned and asked, "Who is your master''s name?" "My master is Taozhi, the one who sang Shuang''erjiao on stage just now." When the little girl talked about her master, her brows were full of complacency, as if everyone should know who her master is. Shen Xiangyan didn''t know who this Taozhi was, and he didn''t want to know, so he pulled Xia Rong to go outside. But before he got out of the gate of Tingli Pavilion, he was blocked by a beautiful girl, "Young Master Shen, why didn''t you wait for the slave family? The slave family just wanted to thank you in person for yesterday''s help." Shen Xiangyan looked at the person standing in front of him, he looked familiar, but he couldn''t remember who it was. However, Xia Rong, who was pulled by Xianggong, recognized the smell on Taozhi, which was the smell on Xianggong''s body last night. Seeing this, Shen Xiangyan patted Xia Rong''s hand lightly to express comfort. Seeing that Mr. Shen not only didn¡¯t remember who he was, but also got intimate with her husband in front of him, Taozhi felt a little disappointed, and said, ¡°Thanks to Mr. Shen¡¯s words of help in Chunfeng Tower yesterday, otherwise Taozhi would definitely be in trouble.¡± The one who was taken home by Mr. Zhang''s family as a concubine." Yesterday, Taozhi was taken by the troupe owner of the theater to accompany the guests in the Chunfeng Building. He said that a group of young masters invited him to sing a song with a lot of money. Actors like them are not qualified to refuse. After the song was sung, one of the young men named Zhang insisted on buying him back home. The young man had a look on his face and fumbled his hands dishonestly. Tao Zhi naturally refused to obey, fortunately the young master in front of him passed by and said a few words to that young master Zhang, Tao Zhi was spared this difficult matter. Shen Xiangyan finally remembered who this person was, but he didn''t intend to save him yesterday at all. But just happened to see Zhang Ningyu molesting the actor, and also saw that the actor had a somewhat similar appearance to Xia Tian, ??so he stepped forward to deliberately provoke the actor''s chin, and used the matter of the actor to provoke a few people in front of so many people. sentence. Said that Zhang Ning Yu couldn''t marry the real one, so he found such a guy to replace him. And that Zhang Ningyu was not convinced on the spot, and vowed to marry Xia Tian as his wife, who knew that just such a matter would be listed in the drama''s book. Shen Xiangyan saw that Tao Zhi was still standing there after thanking him, so he said coldly, "Since we thank you, let''s go." Tao Zhi didn''t think that he had made enough gestures, Shen Xiangyan was still indifferent, in fact, when he came back last night, he found that he couldn''t forget this young master, and today he saw this young master when he was performing on stage, and thought it was fate, so he found out I just wanted to say a few words, and he was indeed the one who saved me last night. Seeing what Mr. Shen said at the moment, Tao Zhi couldn''t continue even if she wanted to say something, so she had to bless Fushen again, and turned sideways to get out of the way. Shen Xiangyan led his little husband a few steps, and was afraid that his little husband might misunderstand something, so he told what happened yesterday, and finally he didn''t forget to cry out, "Rong''er, trust me, I have nothing to do with that Taozhi nor." Xia Rong looked up at Xianggong who was eager to explain to him and smiled, her eyes were clear and bright, "Well, I believe Xianggong." He had intentions, and if Xianggong wanted to, how could he be so indifferent to that Taozhi. Shen Xiangyan''s heart warmed, as long as Xia Rong believed in him, but before he could breathe, Xia Rong asked, "Sir, what does Chunfenglou do?" Chapter 31: What is Chunfenglou, how does he explain it to Xiao Fulang, or tell him directly that it is a place for men to look for flowers and ask willows, and spend time and wine? But it''s not good not to say it, Shen Xiangyan has never wanted to strangle Li Dongsheng to death more than now, but this guy insisted on dragging him to sit with him yesterday. Shen Xiangyan coughed twice, then said slowly, "Chunfenglou is a place for men to have fun, uh, but Chunfenglou is better than ordinary brothels, most of them are performers rather than themselves." In fact, the so-called performers are not Selling one''s body is just to see if the starting price can be paid, but it''s better not to discuss this with the little husband, Shen Xiangyan touched his nose a little guilty. Xia Rong let out an "oh", looking confused, and didn''t know if he understood or not. Afraid that the little husband would think too much, Shen Xiangyan continued, "Brother Li invited Ye Zhen, the nephew of County Magistrate Ye, to drink yesterday. That person likes to listen to a girl named Ruyue playing music in Chunfenglou. I didn''t want to go, but Brother Li dragged me to sit with me on the grounds that I am also the boss of Zhuyuexuan." Xia Rong nodded, expressing that she heard it, and did not continue to ask this question afterward. For a moment, Shen Xiangyan didn''t know whether the little husband was not interested in this question, or whether he was angry with him and stopped talking. It is obvious that he has no interest in anyone other than Xiao Fulang. Although it is inevitable for businessmen to have this kind of entertainment, he generally tries not to go to places like brothels and Chuguans. Inviting County Magistrate Ye''s nephew to drink yesterday was just a disguised form of giving some money to County Magistrate Ye so that Zhuyuexuan''s business could run more smoothly. It was only after they inquired that Ye Zhen had always been interested in Miss Ruyue. It was only then that the place was set at Chunfeng Building. After the two returned home, Shen Xiangyan was still a little afraid that the little husband would be suffocated in his heart, so he observed carefully all day, and didn''t feel relieved until he went to bed at night and saw nothing unusual in Xia Rong. Seeing that her husband had fallen asleep completely, Xia Rong opened her eyes, and after getting used to the darkness for a while, she carefully stood up and stared at him who was already asleep. He knew in his heart that Xianggong would not do anything to apologize to him, but he still felt a little uncomfortable, or it was more appropriate to say that he was eating. Today, that Taozhi''s every move has an indescribable charm. At first glance, he is the type that men will like, and he is obviously much better than him. Such a beauty, and she is also interested in her husband. I don''t know if Xianggong will be tempted. Xia Rong sighed softly, curled herself into Xianggong''s arms, listened to the strong heartbeat of Xianggong, rubbed her face against Xianggong''s chest, and finally fell asleep. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The next day Xia Rong was still asleep, but he felt his body vacated, as if someone had picked him up. When Xia Rong was struggling to wake up from his sleep, he heard a familiar voice say in his ear, "Good boy, continue to sleep." Hearing this voice, Xia Rong was relieved and continued to sleep. When he really woke up, he found that he was already in the carriage and was being hugged by his husband. He didn''t know how the carriage was made at home, but he didn''t wake up all the way. Rubbing her eyes, Xia Rong looked at the fairly neatly put on clothes and the brocade quilt wrapped in them, Xia Rong smiled, presumably the clothes her husband gave him. "Are you awake? Do you want to sleep for a while?" Seeing Xia Rong woke up, Shen Xiangyan turned the person around with the quilt on, making him face him, and took this opportunity to change his position. He didn''t dare to move all the way, because he was afraid that Rong''er would not sleep well, and now he felt a little stiff. Xia Rong shook her head for a while, and rubbed against her husband''s shoulder again. She was still a little confused when she just woke up, and then asked after she really understood the current situation, "Master, where are we going?" Shen Xiangyan kissed the eyes of the person in his arms, and didn''t answer. He just smiled mysteriously and said, "You''ll know when you get there." Xia Rong twitched her lips, and said that if she didn''t tell, she wouldn''t tell. He would still know when he got to the place. Maybe it was because the person woke up, and the body also woke up. Xia Rong''s stomach suddenly let out a growling sound. Xia Rong was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she turned her head away in embarrassment, not daring to look into her husband''s eyes. , Unfortunately, the reddish ear tips betrayed his inner embarrassment. Shen Xiangyan chuckled lightly, and put Fulang on the seat beside him. Sideways took out a pre-prepared mahogany food box from the dark compartment of the carriage, Xia Rong''s eyes lit up when he saw the food box. Open the food box, there are three layers inside, the top layer is a plate of crystal clear emerald dumplings, the middle layer is made of rose-shaped purple sweet potato cakes, and the bottom layer is a bowl of hot Custard Custard. Shen Xiangyan handed Xia Rong a spoon, tapped Xia Rong''s forehead and said with a smile, "I guess you''re going to be hungry when you wake up, you little greedy cat. Before it''s cold, eat something to pad your stomach." After Xia Rong took the spoon, she picked up the bowl of milk and egg custard, scooped a spoonful and put it into her mouth. The milky yellow custard was smooth and tender, and tasted particularly good. Xia Rong narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. Shen Xiangyan looked at him amusedly because he showed such an appearance just because he took a bite of egg custard, and then picked up the chopsticks at the side and picked up an emerald crystal dumpling and fed it to Xia Rong. Seeing Xia Rong''s cheeks bulging, he felt that his husband was really It''s not cute. Seeing that Xianggong took care of him for dinner, Xia Rong was a little embarrassed, pushed the plate containing the crystal dumplings and said, "You should try it too, Xianggong, it tastes very good." Shen Xiangyan smiled when he heard the words, and deliberately misunderstood what he meant, and pressed Xia Rong''s lips before saying, "En, the taste is really good." Xia Rong blushed with embarrassment. Since she wanted him, her husband seemed to be a different person. He liked to tease him whenever he had nothing to do, but he was gentle and polite for more than a year. Sitting in the carriage, I didn''t feel how fast it was, but soon the carriage left Furong Town, and it was almost noon when it really arrived. When Xia Rong was carried out of the carriage by Shen Xiangyan, she was surprised to find that in front of her was a village built on a mountain, which looked like it was newly built. Shen Xiangyan didn''t let go of Xia Rong''s intention to let him go, and smiled lightly, "This mountain is the one I bought for my husband, and this place was built after I bought it, isn''t it just built?" I will bring you here for my husband." After finishing speaking, he hugged him all the way into the yard, there were already a few servants in the yard who had been bought to be in charge of cleaning on weekdays, and this time he came out from Shen''s house. The people brought here, so the manpower is very sufficient, even if the two masters come to live for the first time, they don''t seem flustered. Shen Xiangyan hugged Xia Rong all the way through two arches with hanging flowers, surrounded by green verandas, green willows hanging around in the courtyard, decorated with rockery, so exquisite. The two walked all the way to the main courtyard. Under Shen Xiangyan''s gesture, Xia Rong looked up and saw the three characters "Qingrongyuan" written on the plaque. Xia Rong buried her head in Xianggong''s arms after just one glance. I don''t know how Xianggong could come up with such a straightforward hospital name. She really has no shame at all. Seeing the expression of the young husband, Shen Xiangyan lowered his head and kissed Xia Rong''s ear, whispering softly, "What''s so embarrassing, this plaque represents my husband''s admiration for Rong''er." Xia Rong became popular after hearing the words, and thumped Xianggong''s shoulder with her hand to signal him not to continue talking. Shen Xiangyan originally just wanted to tease him, so he didn''t make things difficult for him. He put him on a nanmu chair in the room, got up and smiled, "We''re going to stay here for a few days. You can After that, I walked around slowly, and the reason why I insisted on building a Zhuangzi here was because this place has a rare benefit, and I will take you there later." Xia Rong was a little dumbfounded, and even sold it to him when he arrived at the place lawsuit. "Since we''re here at Zhuangzi, let''s have something fresh for lunch. I''ve already asked the kitchen to prepare it. I''m sure you, a greedy cat, will like it." Seeing Xia Rong looking at him curiously, Shen Xiangyan just rubbed his head, Then he asked He Miao to fetch a coat, and was going to put one on for Xia Rong. It was still cold in the mountains, so don''t catch a cold. After the little girl came in and reported that the kitchen was ready, Shen Xiangyan led Xia Rong to the yard, where the charcoal stove for barbecue had already been prepared, Xia Rong finally understood what they were going to have for lunch today, I didn''t mind Xianggong''s concealment all the way, so I was about to do it myself with a smile on my face. Shen Xiangyan laughed and followed. He had arranged this before he came here. He specially prepared a live sheep, which was slaughtered yesterday, and asked the kitchen to feed the seasoning to the lamb the night before. They just waited for them to do it themselves today. Baked it. Xia Rong took a bunch of mutton skewers that Xianggong had grilled, took a bite, and felt spicy and delicious, crispy on the outside and inside, "It''s delicious, Xianggong, please try it." Shen Xiangyan turned over the meat in his hand again, and said with a smile, "Eat slowly, there are so many, and no one will grab you." After both of them were satisfied, Xia Rong''s stomach was full, and she sat on the chair and hummed. Shen Xiangyan ate his husband''s soft tofu while rubbing his stomach, thinking about the benefits that he would have in the evening, I feel very good. It turned out that when the Zhuangzi was built, there was a hot spring at the end of the yard. The spring water was not big enough for a few people to soak in, but that was enough. When he wanted to buy this mountain, he was hesitant at first, but when he found out that there is this hot spring in the mountain, he immediately decided to buy it. At first, he only thought that the hot spring would be good for Xia Rong¡¯s body. Now that he¡¯s looking at it, maybe He can still take advantage of this to get more benefits. Thinking about it this way, he just felt that he was too prescient at the beginning. Chapter 32: Because it was going to soak in the hot spring, Xia Rong let the serving servants go out, took off the clothes one by one, folded them and put them on the side, leaving only a small clothes, and pushed away to the hot spring with a blushing face. to the door. Pushing open the door, there is a path paved with cobblestones at the foot, and there is a small green bamboo forest on the left and right, and the area of ??the bamboo forest is not large. Walking forward dozens of steps, you will see an open-air hot spring pool. The surrounding environment is quiet, and the sides of the pool are paved with flat marble, and the curling heat rises from the spring water. Shen Xiangyan had already been waiting in the spring, and he was leaning against the edge of the pool watching Fulang walking slowly step by step in only a small coat. Seeing the little Fulang standing by the pool and not moving, he chuckled Said, "Rong''er come down quickly, the temperature is just right, very comfortable." It was the first time for Xia Rong to bathe in a hot spring. She looked at the pale white clouds and mist floating on the water surface, and the steam was steaming. She squatted down and carefully tested the temperature with her hands. It felt a little hot, but it seemed that it would be very comfortable to soak in. Just as I was about to go into the water like this, my husband stopped me. "Rong''er is good, it''s so uncomfortable to soak in clothes, take off the clothes by yourself, and then come down." Shen Xiangyan saw that Xia Rong wanted to come down in a small dress, how could this be possible, so he coaxed softly. Xia Rong looked at her husband''s naked/exposed skin, as well as his thin waist and straight and powerful legs hidden under the water, and her face became even redder. But under the fiery eyes of the husband, he obediently pulled off the belt tied around the waist of the small coat, and as the trousers fell to the ground, his body, which was slightly pink due to shyness, was exposed to the air. Shen Xiangyan looked at the young man standing by the spring, feeling his mouth was dry, and said in a hoarse voice, "Come on, come down, come to my husband." Before Xia Rong could walk in front of him, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t help but pull him into his arms, followed by continuous kisses on his forehead, earlobes and corners of his mouth. Xia Rong soon became dizzy due to the temperature of Tangquan. Shen Xiangyan looked dotingly at the little husband in his arms, hugged him and found a fairly flat place to sit down, soaked his whole body in the hot water, feeling warm and comfortable all over. Although he really wanted to mess around once in Tangquan, he was afraid that Xia Rong''s body would not be able to bear it, so he had no choice but to take advantage of it. Shen Xiangyan took the time to soak in only two quarters of an hour before leaving the hot spring with Xia Rong in his arms. He had asked Dr. Li before that although hot springs are good for Xia Rong''s health, it is not advisable to soak too much every time. It''s been several days, so don''t be in a hurry, just bring husband to soak for a while every day. Shen Xiangyan carried Xia Rong out of the Tangquan, walked all the way back to the house through the small bamboo grove, and can''t mess around in the water, so it''s okay to enter the house this time. Shen Xiangyan, who had just tasted this taste, was at the time when he was eating his bones to know the taste, and soon the two people gasped rapidly, and Xia Rong gave Shen Xiangyan all the weight of his body limply, immersed in the aftertaste just now, Shen Xiangyan''s gentle lips kissed the little husband''s hair from time to time to comfort him softly, until everything returned to calm again. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The next day, Xia Rong walked around the entire yard with great interest in the early morning, and when she returned to Qingrong Courtyard, she was still holding a two or three-year-old baby in her arms. Shen Xiangyan looked at the child in Xia Rong''s arms with some doubts. He didn''t know where he picked it up. The servants here were all purchased by Shen An, and they were all honestly selected according to his requirements. He was also very relieved of Shen An''s ability, so he didn''t intervene in the matter that was entrusted to him. Xia Rong kissed the tender face of the baby in her arms, and said with a smile, "This is Aunt Li''s child named Lele. Rong''er hugged her when she saw that she liked it." They were teasing the baby in his arms, the two of them kept laughing, one big and one small, so Xia Rong didn''t realize how ugly Shen Xiangyan''s face was when he kissed the baby just now. Seeing that the little husband is so close to people other than him, even a child can''t do it, Shen Xiangyan stepped forward and said, "Rong''er is tired after hugging her for so long, let me hug her for a while." Xia Rong mistakenly thought that her husband liked children as much as he did, so she handed Lele in her arms to Shen Xiangyan with confidence. Where did Shen Xiangyan hold a child before? The child was quite happy just now, but now he changed into another embrace, and suddenly burst into tears. Seeing the child in his arms crying non-stop, Shen Xiangyan''s face turned darker in an instant. Xia Rong couldn''t hold back her "puchi" but still laughed, it was really rare to see his husband make a fool of himself, so it was a novelty to see him face black because Lele didn''t buy into him. Shen Xiangyan was a little embarrassed and handed the child to the young husband. Xia Rong took the child and coaxed him softly, and asked He Xin to bring his snack box. Children should like this kind of sweet things, as expected , put a small piece of snack into Lele''s hands, and stopped crying after a while. The children just put the snacks on their mouths and licked them, but Xia Rong looked at them and nothing happened. Shen Xiangyan saw Xia Rong playing happily with the child, the expression on his face was pure joy that he had never seen before, Shen Xiangyan thought somewhat contradictoryly in his heart, Xia Rong really likes children very much. If there is a child of the two of them, Xia Rong must be a good father, who will take care of their child attentively, teach him to walk, talk, and watch him grow up step by step. But he still wanted to spend more time with his little husband. Thinking that there would be a little guy distracting Xia Rong''s attention, Shen Xiangyan frowned unconsciously. Things like children should just let things take their course. Shen Xiangyan sat on the chair and watched Xia Rong play with the child. He didn''t signal He Xin to take the child away until he saw that Xia Rong''s forehead was wet with sweat. Seeing that Xia Rong was still a little reluctant, Shen Xiangyan fed the tea in his hand to Xia Rong''s mouth, and coaxed, "You have carried Aunt Li''s child here for so long, the mother should be worried, if you like it, we will meet you tomorrow." Tell someone to bring him over to accompany you, be obedient." After hearing this, Xia Rong thought it was the same, and hurriedly asked He Xin to take the child back. Before leaving, she ordered the child to pack several silver fruits in a lotus, and gave Lele the plate of snacks as well. Seeing that he cared so much about the child, Shen Xiangyan felt a little sore in his heart, but he teased on his face, "I like children so much, it seems that I still have to work hard as a husband." Hearing that Xia Rong glared at Shen Xiangyan, and said that his back still hurts even now, and he didn''t know who lied to him last night that it was the last time, but it turned out to be a lie. Shen Xiangyan coughed lightly, and said solemnly, "I''ll take Rong''er to look around here in a while, the scenery around here is very nice, as long as you don''t go deep into the mountains, you won''t encounter any beasts." When Xia Rong heard that she was going to take him out, she didn''t feel sick any more, she quickly nodded in agreement, she looked like a good baby, without the aura of glaring just now, Shen Xiangyan rubbed Xia Rong''s head in a funny way, and didn''t Go ahead and say something ambiguous and funny. Chapter 33: The wind blows through the treetops and makes a rustling sound. In the afternoon of broad daylight, the mountains and forests are unusually quiet, only a few birdsong can be heard from a distance from time to time. Shen Xiangyan squatted down in front of a Biyincao, and carefully dug out its roots and showed it to Xia Rong. This Biyincao has slender twigs and rhombus-shaped leaves symmetrically. When it blooms, two flower buds will grow side by side each time. The flower has a special fragrance and is an auxiliary spice commonly used in perfumery. Xia Rong took the plant carefully, and after listening to Xianggong''s detailed explanation, she became more and more curious about the plants that produced different smells that she saw along the way. Shen Xiangyan looked at Xia Rong''s way of lowering his head to examine Biyincao seriously. His black hair was like ink, his eyebrows were soft, and his heart became softer. Putting the Biyincao in Xia Rong''s hand into the basket behind him, there were already many different plants in the basket, and there were even a few wild fruits that didn''t look very good. After putting it away, Shen Xiangyan took Xia Rong and continued walking into the mountain. There are still many interesting things in this mountain. He Xin, He Miao, who came out to serve, and two elder guards have been following ten steps away from the two masters. This is just to ensure that the relationship between the two masters will not be disturbed, and they can wait for orders at any time. In his previous life, when Shen Xiangyan and his teacher were learning how to make incense, the teacher was also an interesting person, unlike the ordinary teacher who only knew how to teach books, he would take his group of students to live in the mountains for a while every year, ranging from a month to a few months. For two months, teach them to recognize these different wild plant spices. After waking up in this different time and space this time, he would also like to thank this teacher for his teaching, otherwise he would have been limited to some extent even if he had incense-making skills when he suddenly came here where the technology was backward. After walking a few steps, I saw a mountain red fruit tree in front of me. This is also a common wild fruit in the mountains. It just so happens that this season the tree also bears many bright red fruits. Shen Xiangyan hurriedly stepped forward to pick one, wiped it carefully with his sleeve before handing it to Xia Rong, and then picked one himself to taste. Xia Rong took a bite of the mountain red fruit, and immediately frowned with sour brows. After the sourness passed, a faint sweet and fruity taste filled her mouth. Shen Xiangyan smiled lightly and said, "Is it a little sour? When you go back and dip it in sugar, it will be the same as candied haws. You will like it when you eat it again." As he said that, he picked a lot more and put them in the basket behind him. The two of them walked around the surrounding area once and even the sun was about to set. Seeing that Xia Rong was a little tired, they turned back. After all, they were going deep into the mountains. He took his husband in case he encountered a wild beast But it''s troublesome. On the way back, seeing that Xia Rong was a little tired and listless, without the vivacity of the road when he came, Shen Xiangyan casually made a grass dragonfly for Xia Rong out of the weeds on the roadside, and after handing it to Xia Rong, he squatted down again. She smiled and said, "Come on, Rong''er, I will carry you for my husband." Xia Rong had long since lost the excitement she had when she first came out, and now she only felt pain in the soles of her feet when she walked. Seeing that Xianggong was going to carry him, he bit his lips and hesitated for a while, and finally wrapped his hands around his neck with joy, and jumped onto his back with his small body. Of course, he still didn''t forget to hold on to the grass dragonfly that Xianggong wove for him just now. This grass dragonfly was very delicately woven, and Xia Rong liked it very much. When they arrived at the villa, Xia Rong had already fallen asleep on Shen Xiangyan''s back. Shen Xiangyan carried the man back into the room in a funny way, and gently put him on the bed. With such a big movement, the little husband should have woken up even if he was careful, but he just hummed twice and went back to sleep . Shen Xiangyan didn''t care about him, he just pulled a strip of brocade to cover him, and then looked under the bed. When Xia Rong came back just now, his walking posture was not right. Shen Xiangyan was afraid that Xia Rong''s feet would be worn out, so he took off his shoes uneasy, and put his socks on again. I saw that a pair of feet that should have been white and tender were slightly red at this time. Shen Xiangyan held up a little foot and looked at it, and saw that it was only slightly swollen, and it was not a serious problem, so he was relieved. Xia Rong''s little feet were flawless in white jade, delicate and lovely, and after walking for so long, they didn''t smell a little bit, but they were clean, and they were still soft and fleshy when held. In the name of massage, Shen Xiangyan played with it a lot, and after rubbing both jade feet, he reluctantly tucked his feet into place. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The next day Xia Rong was woken up by hunger, and he had already fallen asleep at dinner last night. Seeing that he was fast asleep, Shen Xiangyan could only give up and let him sleep soundly if he didn''t wake up after calling twice. After having a full breakfast, Shen Xiangyan wanted to discuss some matters with the steward in the village. Xia Rong didn''t want to move, but remembered the small bamboo grove in the backyard, and asked He Xin to pack a table and put it beside the bamboo grove, and also asked him to prepare some needed drawing paper boxes, pens and inks. After finishing all this, Xia Rong began to draw on the bamboos in the forest, and Xia Rong''s paintings were only considered to be enlightened. This was taught to him by his father when he was alive. Unfortunately, when he was learning painting, his father was already ill, and he was powerless to teach him. In the end, he just learned the beginning. When Shen Xiangyan came, he didn''t disturb Xia Rong, and stood behind him and watched silently. Even though he doesn''t know how to paint, he can still tell the good from the bad. Although Xia Rong''s ink bamboo brushwork is a bit immature and weak, the bamboo leaves he draws have a sense of windlessness and automaticity, which is quite a bit spirituality. After Xia Rong made the last stroke, Shen Xiangyan asked aloud, "Does Rong''er like to draw?" Xia Rong was taken aback, and found that Xianggong was behind her, and forgot to answer Xianggong''s question, so she quickly stretched out her hand to block the ink bamboo painting just now. He didn''t draw well, so he didn''t want to show Xianggong. Shen Xiangyan looked at him with amused look at his stupid look of blocking the top but not the bottom, and reminded, "Don''t block it, my husband saw it just now." Xia Rong smashed the pot and spread the painting back on the table, not covering it up anymore. Shen Xiangyan stretched out his hand and tapped Xia Rong''s forehead, "After you go back, can Mr. Xiang ask you a master who can teach you how to draw?" After Xia Rong heard this, she looked up at her husband in shock. Does this mean to let him learn to paint? Xia Rong''s heart was pounding, is it really possible? Then can he also draw beautiful pictures like Dad? "Why, don''t you like drawing, or don''t you want to learn?" Seeing that Xia Rong only stared at him with cat eyes wide, but didn''t say a word, he didn''t need to guess and knew that this was because he didn''t know where his mind was wandering, so he asked again once. Xia Rong hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no, no, I like it and want to learn." Xia Rong was a little embarrassed but hurriedly expressed it. Shen Xiangyan nodded in satisfaction, since Xia Rong has this talent, it''s good to learn. It''s not about how well he learns in the end, even if he has something to do at home, it''s good to pass the time. The two of them were chatting here, when a little girl in front brought a letter, Shen Xiangyan turned his head when he heard the movement, and saw He Xin stepped forward to take the letter from the little girl and delivered it. Shen Xiangyan opened the letter, read it at a glance, smiled helplessly after reading it, and handed the letter to Xia Rong, "It looks like we can''t stay longer, pack up and go see Brother Gu tomorrow." After reading the letter, Xia Rong was a little worried. She didn''t know how Brother Gu was doing now, and the more she thought about it, the more worried she became. It turned out that this letter was written by Lu Tingsheng. The letter said that Gu Chen was so angry that he got pregnant a few days ago. He was afraid that Gu Chen had something on his mind that no one could talk to. He wanted to invite Xia Rong to accompany Gu Chen for two days, and he also wanted Xia Rong to make peace. The letter also said that Shen Xiangyan could come together as a guest if he was not at ease. Although Brother Lu said in the letter that the doctor had read it and said that it was fetal gas, but it was not a serious problem, he was still afraid that something might happen to Brother Gu and the baby in his stomach, so he couldn''t help complaining why Lu Tingsheng didn''t Take good care of Brother Gu who is pregnant. "Don''t worry, Brother Lu also said that the doctor has already seen it. Although Brother Gu said he was pregnant, he should cultivate well and nothing will happen." Seeing that Xia Rong was worried, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t help persuading him, but in his heart he felt that Lu Tingsheng didn''t explain clearly in the letter, so there must be something hidden, and this concealment is the reason that caused Gu Chen to move his fetus. Could it be that Lu Tingsheng cheated, but if he cheated, there shouldn''t be this letter asking Xia Rong to rescue him. Shen Xiangyan''s guess was actually not completely wrong. It turned out that there were two maids sent over by Lu''s mother in the Zhuangzi where Lu Tingsheng was taking care of. But Lu Tingsheng has never intended to take concubines, and he has had a deep relationship with Gu Chen since he was a child. Naturally, the two maids sent were sent to serve at a place far away from the masters, so the two masters usually Can''t see them. Afterwards, Gu Chen reported that there was a happy event. When Lu''s mother saw that she had a child, she knew that the two had a good relationship, so she didn''t care about her son''s affairs. But one of the two girls named Xiaoyu stripped herself naked and sent her to Lu Tingsheng during the period when Gu Chen was pregnant and they had to sleep separately. Lu Tingsheng originally wanted to drive people away, but just as he spoke, Gu Chen pushed the door open and entered. What Gu Chen saw at the time was that girl whose clothes were disheveled and wanted to stick them on Lu Tingsheng''s body, and she was so angry that she was immediately moved. After the doctors had left, when Lu Tingsheng explained to Gu Chen, Gu Chen had already started to feel uncomfortable. I ignored him, and after that, he stayed low for a few days and didn''t see Gu Chen talking to him. It''s not that Lu Tingsheng was really anxious about this, and he didn''t dare to force Gu Chen to deal with him, so he took the initiative to write this letter to ask Xia Rong to be the rescuer. Chapter 34: Now that we are all ready to leave for the Lu family tomorrow, we will pack up the things we brought today, and the steward of the village heard that they are leaving, so he specially prepared a lot of things in the mountains for the two masters. And the things produced by the farmers near the foot of the mountain, not to mention all kinds of fresh melons and fruits, what''s more rare is that there are a lot of wild game in the mountains and several complete rabbit and fox furs. Shen Xiangyan was very satisfied when he saw such a complete peeled fur, especially thinking that with these furs, he would be able to sew two beautiful cloaks for the little husband in winter, so he was even happier. Immediately, I felt that the steward was really hardworking, and specially rewarded the steward and the servants who served in the Zhuangzi with a month''s monthly profit. That day, Xia Rong specially asked someone to bring the child of Aunt Li''s family in the kitchen, and stroked Lele''s head, feeling very reluctant to part with this cute baby. He was taken away after he said a lot of words. The little milk baby seemed to know that the two masters were about to leave, so he pulled Xia Rong by the corner of his clothes and asked when he could come again to say hello to Zhengjun. . Seeing that the little baby was about to cry, Xia Rong softly comforted him and the husband-in-law. They would definitely come to Zhuangzi to see him in the future. After hearing this, the little baby knew that he would still be able to see this beautiful and gentle Zheng Yours, this is how I slowly stop my tears. Seeing that he was well-behaved, Xia Rong rewarded him with some snacks, and in the end she didn''t forget to ask the supervisor to take care of the mother and child more on weekdays, and after explaining all this, she reluctantly asked someone to carry the child down. After the child was taken away, Xia Rong looked at the decorations around the house, and everything was to his liking. Although I was worried about Brother Gu''s situation in my heart, I felt even more reluctant when I thought about all the things in this village in the past two days and the fact that I was leaving tomorrow. Seeing Xia Rong''s appearance, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t help laughing and said, "This Zhuangzi belongs to our family. It will be very convenient to live here in the future. Don''t be like this, I will bring you here for a few days when I am free, Mr. Xianggong. How are you?" After hearing this, Xia Rong knew that she was thinking wrong just now, and it wasn''t that she couldn''t come in the future. There was no need to act like this, so she hurriedly collected her mood, looked at Shen Xiangyan with watery eyes and begged, "Then Master, please remember to keep your word, and bring Rong''er to stay for a few days when you have time." Shen Xiangyan allowed him to act coquettishly with himself, stealing a little bit from time to time, and agreed with a nod and a smile. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The next day, the two of them drove to Lu''s house in a carriage. Along the way, the number of carriages changed from two when they came out to four now. Some of the things they brought from the Zhuangzi this time have already been divided to serve as door-to-door gifts. Give it to the Lu family. Fortunately, the Zhuangzi owned by some families in Furong Town are also near this area, and it took more than two hours for the carriage to arrive. The people in Lujiazhuang had listened to the master''s order, and knew that there were guests coming to visit today, so when they saw a few carriages coming from afar, they rushed back to the mansion to report. When the servants saw the carriage parked in front of their house, the people who got out of the carriage were also very generous, and they didn''t dare to wait slowly, so they hurriedly opened the door to welcome them in. Here, Gu Chen heard the news from the servants that the Shen family couple came to visit, so he sat up suddenly from the soft bed, and hurriedly went out to greet him in person, the servants who were serving in front of him were startled, He hurriedly stretched out his hand to help their master, the first three months of pregnancy are just the time to be careful, how can they stand such a toss. Regardless of people''s obstruction, Gu Chen opened the door and saw Lu Tingsheng standing outside. In the past two days, Lu Tingsheng has really been able to say that he has been low-key and low-key towards him. In fact, after he was angry that day, he also knew that this matter was strange. Maybe the truth is not what he saw at the time. What''s more, they grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and Lu Tingsheng''s reaction that day could not be faked. Presumably, the maid was infatuated and wanted to climb into the master''s bed, so she set up such a trick. She really thought that if she saw that she and Tingsheng were ambiguous, she would be able to do what she wanted, so that she had to make the decision and let Tingsheng accept her. Although I know that Lu Tingsheng can''t be blamed for this matter, but it may be because of the pregnancy, the temper that I used to be able to hold back, but this time I can''t control it no matter what. Even if he coaxed him to coax him for several days, he always ignored him, but seeing him guarding outside his door regardless of his body today, there was still no trace of impatience in his expression, but a look of Worried about his own appearance, the last remaining anger in his heart has also disappeared a lot, and now he just doesn''t know how to get off the stage. "Why are you serving me after you? Hurry up and help your Zhengjun." Seeing that Gu Chen was leaving in such a hurry, Lu Tingsheng wanted to help him himself, but he was afraid that he would not like it, so he could only go to the waiter. People get mad. Gu Chen didn''t care too much about this meeting, he walked out and said, "I heard that brother Xia Rong is here, so I have to go to greet him personally anyway." Lu Tingsheng got a reply yesterday, so he knew that the Shen family and his wife were coming at this time, and he was guarding outside Gu Chen''s door because he was afraid that something would happen if he got the news, so he hurriedly persuaded, "Just wait in the room." Wait, there is still me to welcome guests, you are inconvenient now, it is better to be careful, I will let someone bring Xia Rong to see you." After finishing speaking, regardless of Gu Chen''s answer, he ordered his servants to help Mr. Zheng enter the room, Then dare to go to the front yard to meet people. Lu Tingsheng hurried to the flower hall in the front yard for entertaining guests, just as the servants of the mansion had already led them here, Lu Tingsheng immediately went up to thank him and said, "Brother Shen, please come here this time, my husband and I." It''s been a trip." Shen Xiangyan smiled and said, "What''s the trouble? Xia Rong has been thinking about it since he heard that Brother Gu was pregnant a few days ago. This is not a good time to take him to see it. Also, this time, little brother I also brought some things from my village, which are not rare items, and I hope Brother Lu will not dislike you." Seeing this, Lu Tingsheng hurriedly said that he did not dislike them, they were already very happy to be here, and after finishing speaking He also ordered the people to put the things that Shen Xiangyan brought into the yard that had been prepared for the two of them to live in. Afterwards, the two exchanged some polite words, and then Lu Tingsheng turned around and saluted Xia Rong, "This time I have to trouble Brother Xia Rong to help me." Xia Rong didn''t dare to accept Lu Tingsheng''s gift, so she hurriedly avoided it, and seeing Lu Tingsheng''s sincere words, she asked with a smile, "I don''t know where Brother Gu is now? I''d better go and see him first." "Brother Gu is still waiting for you in the backyard. I''ll ask someone to take you there. He originally wanted to come to meet you in person, but he just moved his tires a few days ago. I dare not let him toss , so I stopped him, and I''m afraid he''s going to be angry with me again right now." He smiled wryly at that moment, and called a little maid to take Xia Rong to see Gu Chen. After seeing Xia Rong leave, Shen Xiangyan comforted, "Brother Lu, don''t worry, the relationship between Xia Rong and Gu is as good as it is, and it will be fine if you want to let these two talk to each other." Speaking of this, Shen Xiangyan paused He continued, "Besides, we were a little hasty when we met last time. This time we have enough time, we still have to have a good chat." Lu Tingsheng thought about it too, Gu Chen obviously wasn''t angry with him very much anymore, after Xia Rong said something nice to him, he should be able to get close to him tonight, so he stopped worrying about it and started fighting Spirit came to entertain Shen Xiangyan, the two of you talked to each other, and soon they chatted about everything. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª But Xia Rong was led to Gu Chen''s room, and as soon as he entered, he saw Gu Chen wearing a sky blue brocade robe, leaning halfway on the hibiscus couch. With a little smile. After Gu Chen took Xia Rong''s hand to let him sit down, he complained, "Why don''t you let someone come and let you know in advance, so I can prepare in advance." Xia Rong didn''t hide from him, and said with a smile, "Gefu specially invited me to say something nice for him." After hearing this, Gu Chen coughed several times suddenly, and the little waiter who served him was so startled that he hurried up to give him a sigh of relief. It''s strange that he still doesn''t understand, no wonder he was waiting outside the door today, Gu Chen glanced at Xia Rong and said, "He still knows to ask you to be a rescuer, but it''s a pity that you, a rescuer, filled him up so quickly. sold." Xia Rong didn''t care, took a piece of preserved plum and ate it, but felt that it was a bit too sour, so she gritted her teeth, so she didn''t dare to eat any more. Xia Rong thought for a while and asked, "What happened to you and your brother-in-law?" Gu Chen sighed and told the ins and outs of this matter. Xia Rong was stunned after hearing this. It''s not like he didn''t understand these things at all. Although he hadn''t really seen them in Xia''s house before, he had heard about them. After that, "What about that Xiaoyu, how did Big Brother Lu deal with her later?" Gu Chen mentioned that his expression was a little better, "Your elder brother Lu said that he couldn''t afford such a shameless maid, so he was **** and beaten ten times at that time, but after all, it was also a maid given by his mother, so he is not good. If you deal with it too much, you will only treat her as a rough girl in the future." After hearing this, Xia Rong breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Lu is not that kind of person, and he can''t be blamed for this matter." This is a real plea. Gu Chen patted Xia Rong''s hand and said, "I know this matter well, you don''t have to worry about me, you just need to stay with me for a few days, and we two can talk together." Xia Rong nodded, knowing that Big Brother Gu had listened to it, and she didn''t seem to be angry with Lu Ting again. But I just don''t know when Brother Gu will be willing to talk to people, but he doesn''t live up to Brother Lu''s entrustment in this matter. As for other things, it''s not good to talk too much. Immediately, the two stopped mentioning this matter and talked about other things. Chapter 35: Since it was so hard to come here, and it''s not far from the town but it''s not close at all, Shen Xiangyan and his wife had to stay at Lu''s house for two days. It was nothing at all, but when it was time to go to bed at night, it made Shen Xiangyan suffer. There was no other reason. Gu Chen pretended that he hadn''t seen Xia Rong for a long time and wanted to whisper at night, so he just kept Xia Rong in his room. inside. Think of him, Shen Xiangyan, who has been sleeping with his delicate and frail husband for almost two years, and he has only had **** for less than a month. This made him so cold that he could only sleep alone at night. He really turned from side to side until the middle of the night, and then he fell asleep hugging the quilt in a daze. The next day, Shen Xiangyan only hurriedly washed up early in the morning and sent someone to pick up his little husband. He really didn''t feel at ease if the little husband wasn''t with him. In fact, he wanted to pick him up in person. But this is not his home after all, it''s better not to come and go in and out of other people''s backyard casually as a foreigner. Thinking of this, Shen Xiangyan became even more furious. For the first time, he wondered whether he should bring Xia Rong to the Lu family. If he wanted to talk about the couple, his husband would have to intervene. Well, let others be fulfilled, but suffer yourself. The servants who were waiting on the side were startled when they saw their master''s unpredictable face since the morning, and they all lowered their heads and concentrated on the little things in their hands, for fear that one of them would be accidentally spotted by the master. name. He Xin listened to the report from the little girl who came out from his house, and learned that their master was in a hurry to find Zhengjun. He wanted to pass the news, but he looked up at the sky, and it was just dawn. Lu Zhengjun probably hasn''t woken up yet, so what should he do. Just in such a dilemma, seeing his family''s Zhengjun wearing a coat, he opened the door by himself and poked his head out. He Xin, who was waiting at the door, was taken aback, and Xia Rong covered her mouth when she was about to make a sound, "Hush your voice, brother Gu is still sleeping, find someone to take care of me to wash up, suddenly change the bed, I can''t sleep .¡± After hearing this, He Xin lowered his voice and said, "It''s really a coincidence, the young master was in a hurry to send someone to find you just now, and this servant is hesitating whether to wake you up, but you woke up first." Now, He Xin frowned and continued, "Your Majesty, let''s go back to the house first, it''s still a little cold this morning, don''t freeze, this servant will call someone to help you wash up." Xia Rong touched the piece of warm jade hanging around his neck, and smiled softly. He couldn''t sleep because he changed the bed. If he just changed the bed, he couldn''t sleep well. I didn''t see him when he first arrived at his home. There is this problem is not. He just felt a little cold when he was sleeping last night, and he was used to having a stove tightly around him when he slept, how could he sleep well without such a person. And Brother Gu is still pregnant with a baby, so even if he can''t sleep, he shouldn''t make too much noise, for fear of disturbing him. It''s not easy to see the dawn and get out of bed lightly. I didn''t expect to hear from He Xin that my husband sent someone to look for him early in the morning. Thinking that Xianggong might be anxious to find him because he didn''t sleep well all night like him, Xia Rong couldn''t help but raise the corners of her mouth. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª When Xia Rong finally packed up and went to look for Shen Xiangyan, the man who had been waiting all morning with a dark face was getting a little impatient, God knows how many times he looked at the door in just such a short time . The servants also followed Baba and looked forward to Zhengjun''s return. This young master suddenly changed from a gentle and jade-like appearance to this iceberg face, with a posture of not disturbing strangers all over his body, how scary it is. "Sanggong, is there something wrong with calling Rong''er back in such a hurry?" Xia Rong trotted two steps into Shen Xiangyan''s arms as soon as she entered the room, and even rubbed Shen Xiangyan''s chin with her head affectionately. Well, strong and warm. "If you don''t send someone to look for you, you won''t know you''re back. You little heartless person just has the heart to let your husband-in-law and I stay alone in the empty room all night." The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t help spanking Xia Rong''s little **** One click, of course, without much effort. Xia Rong didn''t feel the pain, but she still blushed and defended, "Brother Gu insisted on pulling Rong''er, and Rong''er came back to find her husband just after dawn." "You little bastard, you still know how to act foolishly. You didn''t sleep well all night. Let''s see how I deal with you in the future." Shen Xiangyan finally had a smile on his face, he patted Xia Rong''s head and said with a smile, "I haven''t had breakfast yet, let''s have some with my husband. I think your Big Brother Lu is busy showing his courtesies right now, so he doesn''t care about us for a moment." Shen Xiangyan''s words made Xia Rong''s face even hotter. He is not ignorant of human affairs now, so why can''t he understand what Xianggong''s cleaning up is going on. But this time, Xia Rong only blinked and turned her head away, after all, she wasn''t denying it. Xia Rong fiddled with the hem of her clothes with her small hands, thinking a little shyly, that kind of thing is not only liked by my husband, he also enjoyed it a few times later, and Brother Gu also said that this is how husband and wife get along, this kind of thing is also increasing method of affection. Shen Xiangyan didn''t know what his little husband was thinking, so he just filled a bowl of lily barley porridge and handed it to Xia Rong, "Rong''er, how about the taste of Lu''s cook, Brother Lu told me about his family''s rice porridge yesterday. The newly recruited cook is good at cooking, if he is really good, I will ask him to come here for you." Shen Xiangyan wanted to say that what Lu Tingsheng praised his cook during the day was just tempted, but after last night, he really wanted to get the cook back to their house and let him stay in the empty room all night, but he was still angry. How can it be done without charging some interest. It just so happened that his husband cared so much about food, if the cook was to Xia Rong''s liking, it wouldn''t be a problem to find a way to get Lu Tingsheng to send the cook to them on his own initiative. Xia Rong was taken aback when she heard this, she couldn''t think of taking the cook away when she came to someone''s house for the first time, she hurriedly shook her head and said, "I think it''s just average, I''m not as good as Mr. eat." Seeing what Xia Rong said, Shen Xiangyan lowered his head and took a bite of a piece of pumpkin pie. The sweetness and greasyness were really just average, not to mention that the craftsmanship was not as delicious as his cooking. Shen Xiangyan thought so narcissistically, so he It also dispelled the idea of ??robbing other people''s cooks. This is also thanks to Xia Rong''s enthusiasm every time he cooks, which makes him full of inexplicable confidence in his cooking skills. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Shen Xiangyan guessed right, Lu Tingsheng is not busy showing courtesies right now, seeing that Gu Chen is sitting in front of the dressing table with his eyes closed and letting his little attendant Yao Ming, who came over as a dowry, comb his hair, he silently took the comb from Yao Ming''s hand, He also took advantage of the situation to make gestures to let all the servants who were waiting on him go out. Gu Chen didn''t see Xia Rong after waking up, and when he heard that he was called back by his husband early in the morning, he knew it was because of their good relationship and didn''t mind. He himself had been lying in bed for a long time before getting up, and he was still a little sleepy until now. After being pregnant, he fell in love with sleeping more and more. When he woke up and opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that it was Lu Tingsheng who combed his hair. After closing his eyes, thinking of the things he had done these days to coax him, he sighed silently in his heart and said, "husband Why didn¡¯t you call me when you came here, I thought it was Key Ming.¡± Seeing that he was finally willing to talk to him seriously, Lu Tingsheng couldn''t help but think in his heart that even if he gave up his face today, he would have to coax his husband back, so he couldn''t help but smiled and said, "I haven''t combed your hair for a long time, it''s hard to find it." This is an opportunity to perform.¡± Gu Chen glanced at him, then ignored him, turned to look at himself in the mirror, Lu Tingsheng combed his hair well, Gu Chen was quite satisfied. Lu Tingsheng loves Gu Chen''s face the most because of him, and the expression on his face is different. When Gu Chen glanced at him, his whole heart seemed to melt, "Chen''er, don''t be angry with me. I really didn''t know that such a thing would happen, it was the girl who broke in by herself and insisted on relying on me, I promise that this kind of thing will never happen in the future." Gu Chen touched his stomach and sighed softly, "How can you guarantee this kind of thing? If it wasn''t for my birth in time, my mother would have given you a concubine long ago. With this One child, if it is a twin or a daughter this time, the mother still needs to have an explanation." Lu Tingsheng hastily expressed his heart and said, "Chen''er, I only have you in my heart. Even if I don''t have this baby, I will definitely not have anyone else. And no matter what this baby is, as long as it is your child, I like it. Don''t worry, After all, mother has me in her heart, and she will have me in the future, so you don''t have to worry about it." Lu Tingsheng continued to say softly, "Good Chen''er, I''ll move back to live with you tonight, okay? You see how dangerous it is for me to be outside alone, and I feel at ease with you watching by my side." In short, One time, he couldn''t be separated from Chen''er while listening to the group of nuns, saying what he said was afraid of affecting Zhengjun''s pregnancy, and listening to the nonsense of those nuns like this, he thought that even his relationship with Chen''er would be affected. delayed. After Gu Chen saw that he had promised his mother that he would make the promise, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After being pregnant with this child, he was really afraid that his mother would dislike him if he had twins or a daughter, so he let go of this big stone in his heart. In order to coax himself to be playing a rogue, he nodded and agreed half-heartedly. Seeing Gu Chen nodding his head, Lu Tingsheng was overjoyed at the moment, kissed his husband on the cheek, and hurriedly ordered his servants to pack all his things in the study room to Zhengjun''s room, this time he didn''t even have a bed in the study room. Stayed. The next time Gu Chen is angry with him, he will stop him with no place to sleep, and see what he can do with himself. Chapter 36: There is a very interesting garden in Lujiazhuang, in which a maze as high as half a person was built with Euonymus lobata, and in the middle of the maze is a very delicate octagonal gazebo. It was the first time for Xia Rong to come here, and thinking of the story Xianggong told him one night, it was mentioned that you don''t have to be afraid when you encounter a maze, you just need to walk straight along a wall, so she was eager to try it out for herself. As the host, Gu Chen knew how to navigate the maze, but seeing that Xia Rong was so interested, it was hard to remind him, so he asked Yao Ming to follow Xia Rong, and when he really couldn''t get out, he was there. Help point the way. Because of the reason that pregnancy should not be involved, I decided to take the other servants from another entrance and follow the correct path to the pavilion in the middle, thinking that I would wait for Xia Rong to come out of the pavilion. Who knew that not long after Gu Chen arrived at the pavilion, Xia Rong walked out of the maze by herself. After learning from Yao Ming that Xia Rong walked out all by himself and walked right the first time, Gu Chen was surprised and asked how Xia Rong knew which way was right. Xia Rong was very proud to speak out the method with her back straightened out, and at the end she did not forget to emphasize that the method was taught by Xianggong. After hearing this, Gu Chen smiled knowingly, "Look at your appearance, I''m afraid others don''t know how good your husband is." Xia Rong didn''t refute after hearing that, his husband was already very good, so he didn''t lie. Two days later, after seeing that Gu Chen and Lu Tingsheng were reconciled as before and their relationship was stronger than before, Shen Xiangyan and Xia Rong left with peace of mind. Before leaving, Xia Rong looked at Gu Chen''s unprotruded belly, and knew that there was a little life being conceived there. After looking at her unmoving belly, she silently envied her for a long time, and prayed that she would not be like a big baby. Most twins are difficult to conceive like that. Shen Xiangyan saw Xia Rong''s careful thinking, smiled and whispered in Xia Rong''s ear, "Why, is Rong''er complaining about my husband not working hard enough?" The low and magnetic voice next to his ears made Xia Rong''s small body tremble sensitively, followed by a rapid blush on his cheeks, Xia Rong was not as angry as his husband''s teasing, and turned to Shen Xiangyan bitterly pinched his arm. Shen Xiangyan didn''t pay attention to Xia Rong''s strength at all, but he still cooperated and showed the appearance of suffering, but continued, "Since this is the case, Mr. Xiang will definitely work harder in the future to try to satisfy Rong''er." good." Xia Rong in broad daylight couldn''t bear to listen to these things, she hurriedly covered Shen Xiangyan''s mouth and said, "In broad daylight, Mr., don''t talk about these things, what if someone else listens to it?" Shen Xiangyan accepted it as soon as he saw it, and nodded with a smile, agreeing not to talk anymore, and it happened that the carriage also arrived at the place. With the help of her husband, Xia Rong got out of the carriage, turned around and saw the gate of Shen''s house that he hadn''t come back for several days, only then realized that he still missed this house that he had lived in for more than a year, Xia Rong took a deep breath As soon as he took a bite, he felt that the tip of his nose was full of the familiar smell of home, and he trotted into the yard first, regardless of the husband behind him yelling for him to slow down. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Recently, Shen An only felt that the master''s temper was becoming more and more elusive. It was always cloudy and sunny. In the first few days, it was fine, but in the past few days, he had a gloomy face. The person in charge, down to the boy in charge of cleaning, all tensed up and dared not relax. Shen An originally thought that something serious happened to the shop, but he, the person in charge, didn''t know about it. After secretly checking the accounts several times in private and finding nothing wrong, he couldn''t help but inquire about it like Chen Cai, who has always been a monkey. I know, the master has become like this these days because he is worried about Zhengjun''s body. Let''s say that Xia Rong doesn''t have a headache, but for some reason, she has lost her appetite, and even the past favorite snacks, she doesn''t even take a bite of it now. This made Shen Xiangyan very worried. For a person who is always greedy, suddenly loses his appetite, no matter how you look at it, it is a big deal. It was really impossible for Shen Xiangyan to ask Rong to do it differently, but Xia Rong didn''t see one more bite. If he hadn''t seen that Xia Rong was in good health, he would have asked Dr. Li to take a look. Today, Shen Xiangyan checked around the shop as usual, but after looking at the account book for a long time, he didn''t see much of it, so Shen Xiangyan got up and went to the dim sum shop on the other side of the street, bought a few items that Xia Rong would like, and let Xiao Rong Two carefully wrapped up. Xia Rong looked at the snacks in the oiled paper bag in front of him, all of them were small and exquisite, exquisite and pleasant, he liked them all, Xia Rong swallowed her saliva, what should I do, I really want to eat, but unfortunately I can''t eat, Xia Rongsheng has nothing to love Rewrapped in oil paper, pushed in Shen Xiangyan''s direction, "Master, I''m not hungry yet, I don''t really want to eat." Shen Xiangyan looked into Xia Rong''s eyes, those eyes were clearly staring at the snacks, it didn''t look like he didn''t want to eat. Could it be that there is something wrong with your health? Thinking of this, you can''t help but feel worried again, "Rong''er really doesn''t want to eat, this is bought from your favorite dim sum shop, and there is also the sesame cake with pine nuts, dates and paste that you have been thinking about all the time. , just out of the oven, eat a piece." When it comes to food, Xia Rong''s hearing is very good. Although he doesn''t want to hear about the snacks, he still hears every word. In the morning, he only ate a small bowl of fish porridge, and he didn''t eat anything else. Usually, this is the time when he would have snacks as a snack, and he saw the snacks bought by his husband, so he was really hungry now. But thinking of the last time when my husband hugged him and said that he would be too heavy to hold if he ate any more, Xia Rong felt aggrieved and touched his fleshy belly. It seemed that he was indeed a little fat. Little Fatty, "Don''t eat, Rong''er doesn''t want to eat." Just as she firmly said that she would not eat, she heard a "gurgling" stomach growl. Xia Rong was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a place to hide and not come out to meet people. Shen Xiangyan amused himself and took a piece of sesame cake with pine nuts, date paste, and put it to Xia Rong''s mouth, and said with a straight face on purpose, "This will be edible." In fact, Xia Rong was quite afraid of Xianggong''s stern face. The first time I saw him like this before was when he was found out by Xianggong because he didn''t take a good bath, and then he was spanked. Seeing her husband staring at her blankly now, Xia Rong felt **** and didn''t dare to resist anymore, just now his stomach growled completely betrayed him. Looking at the snack near his mouth, the unique aroma of roasted sesame wafted through his nose, Xia Rong didn''t care if he would gain weight, so he ate the snack with his husband''s hand. Seeing that he was finally willing to eat, Shen Xiangyan was relieved from the bottom of his heart, but he still insisted on showing no expression on his face. This little **** would rather be hungry than eat well. I really want to ask him what he is thinking right now, but looking at Xia Rong who is eating deliciously. Forget it, let¡¯s talk when he¡¯s full, picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea, put it in front of Xia Rong, and deliberately reminded in a non-fluctuating voice, ¡°Drink tea.¡± Xia Rong just choked a bit after eating, but she was a little frightened when she heard Xianggong''s voice without emotion. She carefully picked up the teacup and took a sip. Seeing that she was not so choked, she asked uncertainly, "Xiaogong, what are you doing?" Are you angry?" Shen Xiangyan saw the little husband acting like a child doing something wrong, and felt a little funny in his heart, but he still tried to make himself serious, "Tell me, why don''t you eat well recently." Thinking that she skipped meals to lose weight, Xia Rong felt ashamed and wanted to find another excuse to deal with it. But under the watchful eyes of my husband, she finally gave up on herself and said, "Rong''er doesn''t want to become a little fat man. If she becomes fat, she will be ugly, and then my husband will despise Rong''er." After saying this, Xia Rong seemed to have really changed. Become that poor little girl who will be rejected, and the whole body becomes depressed. From Xia Rong''s reaction just now, Shen Xiangyan guessed that the reason why he didn''t eat well was because he wanted to lose weight. But looking at Xia Rong''s small body, his little husband is born with a system that doesn''t get fat. He has insisted on feeding him for so long, but he hasn''t seen any effect. Why did she gain weight, Sui said with a puzzled look on her face, "Where is Rong''er getting fat? I still look a little skinny. It would be better if she gained some flesh." That would definitely make her more comfortable to hold. After hearing this, Xia Rong not only did not untangle her heart, but even felt more aggrieved, "Sister-in-law, you said that I was too heavy to hold, but now you say that I am not fat, you must be lying to me, husband-in-law." Shen Xiangyan was stunned when he heard it, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he had indeed said that in a joke a few days ago, but it was really just to tease the little husband because he saw how cute he was. How could this little guy take it seriously, thinking that the turmoil of the past few days was caused by himself, he wished he could go back to the past few days and seal his mouth. "Um, where did my husband lie to you? Rong''er, you are really not fat. If you don''t believe me, ask He Xin and He Miao." After speaking, he made a gesture to call He Xin and He Miao who were waiting at the door. How could Xia Rong be willing, he would be ashamed enough, how can he let more people know about his scandal now, "They will definitely say that I am not fat, how can they tell the truth." Shen Xiangyan couldn''t help it, he stepped forward and picked up Xia Rong who was playing a rascal, pinched his little **** and said, "In this case, then Mr. Xiang can think of a way for you, so that you can eat whatever you want without worrying about it. Gain weight." Xia Rong blushed when she was pinched by her husband, and twisted her body to avoid the big hands that harassed him, but there is really such a way, Xia Rong turned her head to look at Shen Xiangyan expectantly, and forgot for a while. In the current situation, "Really? What is the solution, tell Rong''er quickly." Shen Xiangyan loves his shy appearance, and it''s not the first time he''s glad that his little husband has such a system that makes him blush when he''s shy. Eat too much and gain weight." Xia Rong heard that she should do more exercise, and with such a weird posture now, it would be strange if she didn''t think too much. She was about to struggle to get off the ground, but was restrained by Shen Xiangyan, "I want to run now but it''s too late, Rong''er, you I don''t know how worried you are that you haven''t been eating well these days, I won''t let you have a long memory this time." After speaking, he wanted to walk inside with Xia Rong in his arms. Xia Rong, who was still struggling at first, also knew that she had made him worry these few days after hearing his husband''s complaint. It was originally her own fault, and Xia Rong was too embarrassed to struggle, so she had to acquiesce that her husband carried him back to the room in broad daylight. It''s a pity that he has been hungry for so many days in vain. It is definitely impossible for Mr. Xiang to make him not eat well after today. Chapter 37: It was winter again in a blink of an eye, and after two snowfalls, the snow in the yard could finally be used to build snowmen. Shen Xiangyan still remembered the promise he made to Xia Rong at this time last year, saying that he would also build two snowmen in the new house. A snowman next to each other like in the old house. Shen Xiangyan chose a stone blue chrysanthemum pattern embroidered jacket for Xia Rong to put on, and put him on a new cloak made of white fox fur from the Zhuangzi before. This cloak is very exquisite. Not only is there no trace of miscellaneous hair, but there is no stitching seam to be seen. After watching the little husband put on the ear warmers and gloves that he specially asked his servants to make out of leftover fox fur, he checked them up and down carefully, and saw that the people were really dressed warmly, so he was relieved He took Xia Rong''s little hand out of the house. The two of them compared the appearance of the two snowmen in their memory and rebuilt two snowmen, one big and one small, who were closely intertwined. Shen Xiangyan looked at Xia Rong who was smiling brightly in the snow, and felt that he was not alone. Feel comfortable with the mind. Recently, the end of the year is approaching, and business matters have piled up again. In a few days, shopkeepers from various branches will come to report to him on the profitability of each store for this year. Yuexuan also has a lot of things to deal with. Business is important, but he is even more afraid that he will not have time to accompany Xia Rong. Speaking of their little husband, the progress has not been a little bit. Now Rong''er is taking care of all the big and small matters in the house. Although there are only two masters in their house, he and Xia Rong, but every day, regardless of the big or small things, it is still the same. There are quite a lot of places that need to be decided by the master. Not only that, he asked an acquaintance to invite Xia Rong to teach painting, and also said that Xia Rong has a lot of aura in painting, and his painting skills will definitely improve a lot with time. Although Shen Xiangyan was happy to hear this, he still told Xia Rong in private that asking him to learn painting was just to see that he liked it and let him cultivate his sentiments. Reminding Wan asked not to tire himself too much. Some time ago, Xia Rong got married some time ago, and Xia Rong also prepared a set of ruby ??hairstyles to add makeup to Xia Tian. Back then when Xia Rong married in for Xia Rong, he didn''t see any dowry. He didn''t need to add any dowry. Although he wasn''t a stingy person, he didn''t have a good temper when it came to matters related to Xia Rong. . But he saw that although the little husband didn''t say anything, he was still thinking about the matter over there. After thinking about it, it was just a set of gemstones. It was not a big deal to their Shen family, but it could make Xia Rong feel at ease. If you spend some money, you can just coax Xia Rong to be happy. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª When Shen Xiangyan said he was busy, he soon became busy, many things required him to come forward in person, even Xia Rong wanted to go to Foguang Temple to pray for blessings before the year, and he didn''t have time to accompany him. Originally, he didn''t have time to accompany him, so he was worried that Xia Rong would go alone, but this little **** seemed to know more and more how to behave in order to soften his heart, he hugged his arm with a soft voice and pitiful His little eyes became coquettish, and after a while he was defeated and agreed to go to Foguang Temple to offer incense by himself. But this premise is to bring enough guards, and there is still time to not let He Xin and He Miao leave his side. Seeing that Xia Rong had repeatedly promised that she would take good care of herself and come back as soon as possible after burning incense, Shen Xiangyan reluctantly felt relieved. But then they turned around and arranged travel matters, and specially called Feng Qin to lead a team to **** Xia Rong. Over the past year or so, he has somewhat figured out the personalities of these two boys, Chen Cai and Feng Qin. Chen Cai is quick-witted, clever, and has a lot of small ideas, but he is still a little less calm than Feng Qin. This time he sent Feng Qin to follow Xia Rong, so he could rest assured. On the day when Xia Rong went to Foguang Temple, Shen Xiangyan took the time in advance to watch Xia Rong get into the carriage in person. Xia Rong lifted the curtain of the carriage window and looked at the uneasy husband standing outside the carriage, his eyebrows and eyes curved. "Msanggong, let''s go back quickly, Rong''er will be back soon, everything will be fine." Shen Xiangyan nodded Xia Rong''s nose and said helplessly, "You are a little heartless, you know that you will go out and leave my husband and I alone at home, so don''t worry." After finishing speaking, he deliberately made a look of grief Looking at her face, Xia Rong laughed amusedly. Shen Xiangyan tucked Xia Rong''s hair from his temples behind his ears, gave him a few more soft words, then turned around and told He Xin and He Miao who hadn''t gotten into the carriage yet, "Take care of your Zhengjun, if you If there is a problem, you are the one to ask." Seeing that the two servants answered "yes" respectfully, Shen Xiangyan patted Feng Qin on the shoulder again, and then waved his hand to let Feng Qin lead the team away. Although the carriage was driving fast, it was still very stable, because Shen Xiangyan specifically explained before departure that the roads are slippery in snowy weather, so be careful when driving, and there is no need to rush back on the same day, it is also possible to let Xia Rong stay in the temple for one night of. But Xia Rong thought it would be best if he could come back that day, and told Feng Qin what he meant. He still couldn''t bear to leave Xianggong alone at home. Feng Qin listened to Zheng Jun''s words, although he accelerated the speed of the carriage, he did not fully comply, and only said that the young master had ordered that safety be the top priority. Xia Rong knew what Xianggong meant, so she didn''t make things difficult for him, and nodded in agreement. It was already noon when we arrived at Foguang Temple. Because of the snow, Xia Rong didn''t get off the car and walked up the stone steps of the front mountain like before. Instead, he took a carriage directly up the mountain from the back mountain like most other families. Arriving at the Foguang Temple, Xia Rong knelt in front of the golden Buddha statue, and solemnly kowtowed three times. Firstly, she begged her husband to be safe and sound, secondly, she begged to be by her husband''s side all the time, and thirdly, she begged to continue the incense for the Shen family as soon as possible. It has been two years since he married into the Shen family. At the beginning, the husband was anxious to get married because of Mrs. Shen''s last words before his death. Although the husband didn''t have anything to say about this matter on weekdays, Xia Rong still had a hard time thinking about it. He was originally a twin, and being Shen Xiangyan''s main wife was already a good thing, and now he only wanted to continue the incense for the Shen family as soon as possible in return. That is to say, Shen Xiangyan didn''t know the messy thoughts in his little husband''s mind, otherwise he would definitely be taught a lesson again. After Xia Rong finished her wish, she just walked out of the hall when she noticed a line of sight staring at him. Xia Rong subconsciously turned her head and saw that the person standing by the door of the hall was the one named Taozhi who stopped him and her husband in the listening hall last time Yes, that little girl is still following behind. Although he only met once, he still remembered that Taozhi was a radiant and rare beauty back then. Goodbye Taozhi at this moment is much different from the beauty before, at this time he is much thinner than before, and his complexion is not good, as if he just suffered a serious illness. And the eyes staring at him were obviously hostile. I don''t know what he went through, but he became like this in just a few days. It turned out that Taozhi had been depressed for a while since he stopped Shen Xiangyan last time, after such a straightforward self-recommendation was of no use. Not long after that, the old lady of the county magistrate''s family celebrated her sixty-sixth birthday, and invited members of their troupe to sing an opera that day. Tao Zhi thought it was just an ordinary appearance on stage, but the county magistrate fell in love with Tao Zhi''s beauty, Tao Zhi is not willing, not to mention that the county magistrate is already in his forties, and he is also famous for being romantic. There are more than a dozen concubines in the family, and even children are better. It''s a pity that Taozhi''s contract of prostitution is in the hands of the troupe leader, so what if he refuses, the magistrate said he wants him, and the troupe leader must obey. Taozhi was just carried into the county magistrate''s mansion in a sedan chair, and at first she was favored, and her life was easier, but it didn''t take long for the county magistrate to feel fresh. Mrs. Nazhi County is not a good match, and with those concubines, his life in that mansion is simply not human. Even when he came out to offer incense today, it was only after he was seriously ill that he begged for the kindness of the magistrate, so that he was able to come out to breathe. Unexpectedly, they ran into Xia Rong here. Seeing Xia Rong''s well-dressed outfit, the maidservants behind her, and a few guards who were not easy to mess with at first glance, she knew without thinking that Xia Rong was extremely favored at home. How could Taozhi not feel resentment in his heart, he didn''t pay much attention to such an ordinary-looking person. At the beginning, he thought that he would be able to marry Mr. Shen as he wished with a little bit of trickery, but such a gentleman, who seems to have no scheming at first glance, will not be able to rub as much as he wants, whoever wants to make things happen, and now he is No matter how much you want to marry Mr. Shen, you can''t do it. I hate that such a good person as Mr. Shen, for no reason, is cheap for such a person who doesn''t stand out in anything. Xia Rong frowned. Although she noticed that something was wrong with Taozhi, she didn''t take it too seriously, so she took He Xin and He Miao to the front hall to donate incense money. After all, Xianggong''s previous attitude made him feel at ease. Although Xia Rong didn''t take it seriously, Feng Qin still noticed that this person was looking too viciously at Zhengjun, so he paid more attention. That day, Xia Rong listened to Feng Qin''s suggestion and stayed at Foguang Temple for one night. After all, it gets dark early in winter, and it is not wise to rush on the road. The next day, Shen Xiangyan got up very early in the morning and felt a little restless, even after breakfast, Shen Xiangyan frowned, and couldn''t care less, and ordered his servants to send a message to Shen An, asking him to take care of him for a while. On the other hand, he only brought two people and rode towards the direction of Foguang Temple. He always felt that something bad was about to happen, and Xia Rong was the only one who worried him. After thinking about it, Shen Xiangyan still It was better to decide to pick up Xia Rong, I would rather think about it too much than regret it when something really happened. Chapter 38: When Shen Xiangyan rushed all the way to the foot of Foguang Temple Mountain, he saw a group of people discussing something together. When Shen Xiangyan passed by, he heard a few words, saying that a carriage fell into a mountain or something. Shen Xiangyan hurriedly reined in, and motioned for a person named Qin Yue beside him to inquire. This Qin Yue was originally a servant in Xiangzilai who was in charge of doing odd jobs, because he often went to Xiangzilai to check on the business, and found that Qin Yue was a rare and clever person. In addition, after Chen Cai and Feng Qin trained under Shen An for a period of time, they also began to have their own affairs in their hands. In this way, there will be less Chang Sui around him who can follow him. Since he found that Qin Yue was someone who could be cultivated, he brought him to his side, and he was only responsible for doing things with him on weekdays. Qin Yue took the order to go, and after a while, he ran over sweating profusely and told, "Master, I just found out that a family''s carriage accidentally fell from the mountain because of the slippery road in the snow. The carriage was thrown to pieces on the spot. The married Shuang''er was originally sitting in the carriage, but now he is also missing, and their family''s servants are rushing all over the mountain to find someone." Qin Yue knew that the reason why he and the young master were in such a hurry this time was to pick up Zhengjun. Just now when he found out that the person who had the accident was a married Shuang''er, his heart tightened, because he was afraid that if something happened to him, it might be their family''s Zhengjun. At this time, like the young master reporting this matter, I really feel a drum in my heart. Seeing the young master''s cold face in an instant, Qin Yue cheered up, collected himself, and continued, "Master, I just asked them about the location of the accident, and the fallen carriage is not far ahead, we want to Don''t go and see first." When Shen Xiangyan heard that something happened to a married couple, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked Qin Yue to lead the way. Things are rushing here, don''t look to understand that he is really uneasy, riding on the horse, during this short journey, he has turned over so many thoughts in his mind, and every time he thinks of something bad, he hastened to tell himself that something happened. It won''t be his family''s Rong''er. Thinking that their carriage was specially remodeled for comfort, so even if the carriage was smashed to pieces, he could still see the clues and tell if it was their carriage. Rong still needed him to look for her, so she was no longer in a trance, but calmed down. After riding wildly for a while, he arrived at the place. Shen Xiangyan squinted his eyes and saw the wreckage of the wreckage of the wreck of the wagon not far in front of him. As Qin Yue said, the entire carriage is already in disrepair. Shen Xiangyan squatted down in front of a carriage board, touched the box, and found that it was only made of ordinary wood, he was relieved immediately. The carriage he specially modified back then, although it looks like an ordinary carriage in appearance, a layer of thin steel plates are embedded in the walls of the carriage. After he breathed a sigh of relief, Shen Xiangyan realized that his back was drenched in cold sweat. At this time, shouts came from the foot of the mountain, listening carefully, it was "I found it, I found it." Shen Xiangyan found out that it was not his husband who had the accident, and just when he felt that he could not recover, he heard the accident again. Many people have found someone, and they are also happy for them. After Shen Xiangyan breathed a sigh of relief, he waved for the two people who followed him to follow him. He must continue to drive up the mountain. Only when he sees his husband soon can he really feel relieved. Therefore, there was no peach branch that was lifted up by two strong women with bamboo chairs because their legs were broken and it was difficult to walk. Tao Zhi stared at the figure who was walking away, feeling a little disturbed, the measure that was originally used to calculate Xia Rong, but somehow it was fulfilled on him, why Xia Rong is so lucky to be able to marry Mr. Shen good person. He had just seen Mr. Shen''s anxious and worried look on his brows from a distance just now. After all, he was worried that it was his husband who had the accident. He must be happy to know that it was not Xia Rong who fell down the mountain this time. Tao Zhi looked down at his leg that was still hurting, why couldn''t Mr. Shen turn back to look at him, I really don''t know what kind of medicine that Xia Rong gave Mr. Shen, he was so fascinated that his heart and eyes were all about that bitch. Thinking of him, Tao Zhi thought he had a rare good looks, how could he not compare to Xia Rong. "I think you should calm down, young master. Self-knowledge is the most important thing in a person." Tao Zhi, who was immersed in her own thoughts, suddenly heard this, and raised her eyes to stare at the speaking mother Xia hatefully. This Madam Xia was placed in his room by Madam Magistrate. If she said it was placed in his house, it would be better to blatantly send such a person to her side, in case he was not used to it when he first arrived at the house, so she sent someone to take care of him. It is right to supervise him day and night. However, he has no background and is a newcomer, knowing that there is a problem, but he can''t refuse if he wants to. Not only do he have to pretend that he doesn''t know anything, but he also has to pretend to be grateful to his wife. Ever since such a nanny came by his side, he couldn''t escape his wife''s eyes in anything he did. Not only that, but he couldn''t show it, and he had to be patient and treat this nanny Xia well, or he would let his wife down. His "good intentions". Madam Xia doesn''t care what Tao Zhi thinks, she is Madam''s person, and she is only sent here to beat these unworthy things on weekdays. This Taozhi is indeed an actor, he has no education at all, he has entered the magistrate''s mansion, he has become a master, and he is so ignorant of the rules. Other men really think they are all blind. Tao Zhi was confused by Nanny Xia''s self-important attitude, but his leg probably really broke, and now he dare not move because of the pain. In order to avoid suffering, now I can only hold back my temper temporarily. Tao Zhi lowered his eyebrows so that people could not see his eyes. He is not a fool. He was born in a bad family. Let him know how to judge the situation. Now his situation is very bad, and he can only rely on the magistrate''s favor. Tao Zhi clenched his fists, these servants, when he wins the master''s heart, are they afraid that these people will act against his face. Leaving aside how much Taozhi was thinking at this time, and what determination he had made, Shen Xiangyan feared that there would be twists and turns along the way, so he hurried all the way to Foguang Temple. Hurried over quickly. After finding the place where Xia Rong lived temporarily, when he opened the door and entered, he saw Xia Rong lying on the bed, his complexion was very bad, he had already lost his usual rosiness, and looked a little pale. Shen Xiangyan was startled, and hurried forward to sit on the edge of the bed, held Xia Rong''s hand, touched it, then lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Xia Rong''s, the temperature was fine, not too high. Since it''s not a fever, why are you lying here? Shen Xiangyan looked at He Xin and asked in a deep voice, "What''s wrong with Zhengjun, is this the result of asking you to take good care of him?" He Xin was taken aback by the master''s question, knelt down quickly and told the story quickly, "Zhengjun woke up this morning and felt unwell, and even vomited once during breakfast. It was decided that today After breakfast, they set off to go back. The servants saw that Zhengjun was unwell and tried to persuade him. Zhengjun refused and wanted to go, but he fell down as soon as he stood up. The servants were helpless, listening to the little monk in the temple It is said that Master Jiji here has some medical skills, Feng Qin has already gone to invite the master, and I believe he will come soon." Shen Xiangyan knew that Master Jiji knew medical skills, and now he couldn''t find a doctor in the mountains, so that was the only way to go. Now this situation is not the time to punish them. Shen Xiangyan asked He Xin to get up first, and he clenched the little hand in his palm. Seeing Xia Rong''s pale face, Shen Xiangyan was so distressed. That''s it, I wish I could tie the little husband to my trouser waist, put it in my pocket, and carry it with me so that I can feel at ease. After a while, Feng Qin came in with Master Ji Ji. Shen Xiangyan had a conversation with Jin Ji once, so he didn''t care about other things, put his palms together in front of his chest, bent down and bowed and said "Amitabha", and it was considered as a salutation. After that, he hurriedly dragged Zhen Ji to walk in, still muttering, "Master, please show my husband quickly, what''s wrong with him, he said he vomited once without eating breakfast, And it¡¯s been like this for a long time, and people still haven¡¯t woken up.¡± Shen Ji was caught off guard by Shen Xiangyan and almost fell, but fortunately Shen Xiangyan had quick eyesight and quick hands and helped him up. Jinji saw his guilty conscience and knew that he was worried about his wife, so instead of blaming him, he understood. After Ji Ji motioned for Shen Xiangyan to take Xia Rong''s wrist out of the brocade quilt, he stretched out three fingers to rest on Xia Rong''s wrist. After a while, he signaled Shen Xiangyan to change hands. Shen Xiangyan hurriedly put Xia Rong''s hand in Under the brocade quilt, he took the other wrist out of the quilt. Jin Jifu took his pulse again for a while, and then said with a smile, "Congratulations to Benefactor Shen, Mrs. Madam should be happy, but the month is short, the pulse does not show, and the poor monk is only 70% sure." Shen Xiangyan responded It took a long time to realize what the meaning of what Master Jin Ji just said just now was realized. He said he was 70% sure, but Master Jiji couldn''t say such a thing if he was not completely sure. Rong''er was pregnant, she was pregnant, and Shen Xiangyan didn''t know how to react for a while. Ever since he discovered that he only had that kind of thought about the same **** when he was adolescence in his previous life, he thought that he must have no destiny with a child of his own blood in this life. It may be the common sense of so many years in the previous life. Even when I came to this place, it was just a cognition when I learned that men can conceive. I never really considered that Rong''er can really conceive. Don''t look at him every time he comforts Xia Rong with the right words, any child is fate, and he will definitely come when it is due. He was so calm, not because he never really thought about having a child, but because whenever he had this thought, he thought he was dreaming. Chapter 39: He Xin was the first to reflect the good news. Seeing that the young master was still in a daze, he hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to salute Shen Xiangyan, "My servant congratulates the young master, we will have a baby in a short time." Master." He Miao also reflected on it, and said overjoyed, "Congratulations, young master, I will definitely be overjoyed when Zhengjun wakes up and hears the news." He was really happy for Zhengjun, thinking that Zhengjun has always wanted to give Shen The family continues the incense, if I know that I am really pregnant, I don''t know how to be happy. When the child who thought he could only appear in a dream actually landed in the womb of the little husband, Shen Xiangyan was still in an unreal feeling. It wasn''t until the servants brought out by the Shen''s around came forward to congratulate him one by one, that he realized that it wasn''t him dreaming, but that Husband was really pregnant. "Okay, okay, reward, everyone will be rewarded for two more months." After Shen Xiangyan came to his senses, he smiled broadly, and after rewarding everyone, he saluted Master Jinji sincerely, "Thank you, Master Jinji After running this trip, I just don¡¯t know how my husband is doing now, when will he wake up?¡± Master Jinji said "Amitabha", then smiled and said, "The poor monk and the benefactor are also predestined, but it''s just a matter of raising your hands, so you don''t have to be polite. Judging from the pulse, Mrs. Ling''s body is not in serious trouble. It should be last night. He didn¡¯t have a good rest, and he reacted more during the early stages of pregnancy, which is why he will wake up naturally after he has had enough rest.¡± Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him here, Master Jin Ji explained a few more precautions, Getting ready to say goodbye. When Shen Xiangyan saw that Master Ji Ji insisted on leaving, he didn''t do much to keep him, but he solemnly thanked him, and then ordered Feng Qin to send the master off, and take a hundred taels of silver notes by the way, all for the incense money in the temple. "The poor monk will thank the almsgiver on behalf of the temple and those poor people." The donations received by Foguang Temple every year will be used to help the refugees who rushed here and there. After thanking Shen Xiangyan, he got up and said goodbye. After Feng Qin sent Master Jiji away, Shen Xiangyan really had his husband in his heart and eyes. Carefully stroking Xia Rong''s eyebrows with his fingers, the smile on Shen Xiangyan''s mouth never faded. After ordering the others to go down, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t help but took off his outer shirt, turned on the bed, and gently hugged Xia Rong who was still sleeping soundly. Not daring to really press him down, he could only use his arms to support most of his body''s weight foolishly. Instead, it was Xia Rong who felt the familiar breath, and after arching into his arms like a kitten, she fell asleep even more soundly. Shen Xiangyan was not too tired, he just made awkward postures, hugged the person in his arms and kept laughing nonstop, and luckily there was no one in the room at the moment, otherwise he would have to wonder if this person was in a bad mood. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª When Xia Rong rubbed her eyes and was half asleep, the first thing she noticed was that the bed under her didn''t feel right. It seemed that the bed was much harder than the bed he was used to sleeping on. When he realized that it was not his illusion, Xia Rong suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the gray curtain above his head. Then he was sure that he was really not in the Shen Mansion. I just remembered that I came to Foguang Temple yesterday, and this is the guest room for Shangxiang people who come to Foguang Temple. Xia Rong looked at the sky outside, only to realize that it was getting late, and she should go back, otherwise Xianggong should be worried about him. Xia Rong threw off the quilt in a hurry and was about to get out of bed, but before he could put on his shoes, he heard a creak and the door was opened. When Shen Xiangyan came in, he saw that the little husband who was supposed to be lying on the bed was about to go to the ground in a hurry, and he was frightened immediately. He hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand, and went to help him, "Rong''er is lying on the bed for a while, be obedient, think What to do, Xianggong will help you." Xia Rong didn''t expect to see her husband here, and was a little surprised. Thinking of myself throwing up after only taking a few mouthfuls of breakfast in the morning, and then contacting myself who was lying in bed for some reason. Could it be that there was something wrong with my body that alarmed my husband. But thinking that the end of the year is approaching, and my husband is so busy now, I can''t help him, and even add trouble to him at this time, when I think of Xia Rong, I lower my head and feel a little guilty. Seeing Xia Rong''s appearance, Shen Xiangyan knew that he was thinking wildly again, so he lightly tapped the tip of Xia Rong''s nose and said, "What are you thinking again, you can''t think wildly now." Seeing that she was caught again, Xia Rong felt a little embarrassed and touched the nose that was touched just now. Although she was a little puzzled why he couldn''t think wildly now, she still obediently went back to bed and lay down on the bed according to her husband''s wishes. Xianggong''s sleeve, and asked in a nervous tone, "Why is Xianggong here?" "I was worried about coming to pick you up, but luckily my husband came here. You, why are you so old that you don''t know how to take care of yourself like a child, and you don''t know how to tell when you''re not feeling well." Xia Rong was said to be a little guilty. Could it be that he really had some kind of illness? Xia Rong carefully looked at his husband''s expression. What''s wrong with it? Shen Xiangyan felt Xia Rong''s stomach across Jin, and knew that the little husband had misunderstood again, so he was afraid that he would think too much, so he explained with a smile, "I am still a child, and I don''t know when the baby is born. What should I do?" When it came to the child, Shen Xiangyan had only a three-point smile on his face, but the corners of his mouth couldn''t stop turning up. "What baby?" Xia Rong looked at her still flat stomach under the brocade quilt, and asked cautiously, afraid that she might make a mistake, was it really what he thought. Shen Xiangyan didn''t make any rounds anymore, and said directly, "Of course it''s the baby in your womb, Rong''er, you''re pregnant, with your child and mine." When Shen Xiangyan said this, he couldn''t restrain himself at all. Joy, the voice trembled a little. Xia Rong rubbed her stomach, and it took a long time to digest Shen Xiangyan''s words, and she choked up crying and laughing, "Is she really pregnant? Great, great." The boulder that had been pressing on Xia Rong''s heart finally disappeared. , he always felt that he was indebted to his husband as a twin son who occupied the position of his husband''s first wife. He knew that the Shen family had always been difficult for the heirs, and the husband who married him not only did not dislike him, but also treated him so well. Now that he had a child, he finally felt better. "Little fool, why are you crying for such a good thing, be good." Shen Xiangyan raised his hand to wipe Xia Rong''s eyes, then hugged Xia Rong in his arms and softly supported her for a long time, sighing softly in his heart, this little fool Why is it so painful. Xia Rong laughed through her tears under the comfort of her husband, and then she felt a little embarrassed, "Sister, don''t laugh at me, am I happy?" "Okay, Rong''er, you have nothing to eat all day. You must be hungry. I borrowed the kitchen here and cooked some vegetable porridge. It would be cold if I didn''t eat it. I wanted to make something else, but unfortunately the ingredients here It''s limited, Rong''er, you can eat as much as you want." After speaking, he got up and picked up the bowl that was on the table just now, he just lay down with Xia Rong for a while, and suddenly remembered that he vomited everything he ate in the morning, maybe he himself The little husband who made it could eat as much as he could, so he decided to borrow the kitchen here. Looking at the spoon handed in front of her, Xia Rong felt a little hungry, but she still had no appetite. But thinking that Xianggong made it for him specially, Xia Rong didn''t want to let Xianggong''s heart go to waste, so she had to force herself to eat half a bowl, and then she couldn''t eat any more. Seeing that the little husband really couldn''t eat anymore, Shen Xiangyan had no choice but to give up. Called He Xin to come in and clean up the bowl, then touched Xia Rong''s stomach, and said to the flat stomach with a serious face, "Well, you little rascal, you started tormenting your father so early, why don''t you Be honest, I won''t spank your **** after seeing it." Xia Rong listened to Xianggong''s pretentious words, covered her mouth and laughed so hard that she almost lost her temper. After laughing for a while, she was afraid that if she moved too much, it would be bad for the child in her stomach, so she managed to stop her smile and said, "He is still It¡¯s not formed yet, but I can¡¯t understand what you said, Mr. Xiang.¡± Shen Xiangyan stroked Xia Rong''s hair, he was very worried now, counting the days, Xia Rong was only about a month pregnant, and now he couldn''t eat, there were still nine months left, so what to do. After Shen Xiangyan managed to coax Xia Rong to lie down on the bed and rest for a while, he left the room for Feng Qin to talk back. Feng Qin said that he had something to report to Master Jin Ji when he came back from sending him off, but he was concentrating on making food for Xia Rong at that time, so he asked him to wait for a while. After Feng Qin came over, he recounted what happened yesterday in detail. It turned out that he had been more careful since he found out that Taozhi looked at Zhengjun with wrong eyes yesterday. At night, because he was worried about Zhengjun''s safety, when he got up to check the night, he saw a young man coming out of the courtyard where Taozhi lived, and sneaking all the way to the places where the carriages were parked at the back of the courtyard. Feng Qin was afraid that the man would make something wrong, so he followed him carefully not far away. He only saw the boy messing around in their carriage for a long time before leaving. Thinking about it now, Feng Qin still felt a little scared and said, " The younger one checked the carriage after the man had left, and found that the position of the shaft had been tampered with, and was in a cold sweat, if the younger one didn''t find out, something might happen today." Shen Xiangyan was afraid for a while after hearing this, and just about to say something, Feng Qin suddenly knelt down. Shen Xiangyan was confused by what he did, so why did he knelt down when he found out that he was meritorious? What the little guy did, the little guy did the same thing on their car." Chapter 40: Shen Xiangyan looked at Feng Qin who was kneeling there motionless, looking like he was at his disposal, his eyes flickered. So it seems that the carriage that fell down the mountain that he met when he went up the mountain was the hands and feet of Feng Qin, and the so-called Taozhi was originally sitting in the carriage. If Feng Qin hadn''t mentioned this name, he would have forgotten about this person a long time ago. Thinking of the actor who blocked him that day, the motive of the other party''s attack was immediately clear without guessing. Thinking of his own husband who was almost killed because of his own reasons, he couldn''t help but blame himself. Of course, Taozhi, the culprit, he would definitely not let go. If Feng Qin hadn''t discovered it early, it would have been Xia Rong who fell down the mountain today, and even the child in his belly might have suffered setbacks. The more Shen Xiangyan thought about it, the more afraid he became. But regarding Feng Qin''s matter, although he is not the kind of stubborn master, and this matter was indeed discovered in advance by him, and he contributed to the rescue. But self-assessment cannot be clearly approved, otherwise it will be difficult to discipline in the future. After thinking about it, Shen Xiangyan became serious and asked, "This matter can be done properly, and it can be guaranteed that no one will suspect that you did it. Hands and feet?" Seeing his master questioning, Feng Qin hurriedly lowered his head even lower, tried his best to stop the words, and let himself speak concisely, "Don''t worry, young master, you will be very careful when you shoot, and there will definitely be no traces left. And that When the carriage encounters this kind of snow, and the road down the mountain is narrow, something will definitely happen. As long as the carriage falls down the mountain, the evidence on the carriage will disappear. It''s a pity that Taozhi came up with such a vicious method, In the end, it will be retribution on him.¡± Feng Qin explained the matter carefully before and after, then kowtowed to Shen Xiangyan again and said, "I know the impulsiveness of what I did, so please punish me, no matter what kind of punishment is minor." Speaking of this, Feng Qin hesitated for a while, but in the end he continued solemnly, "That one is called Taozhi, and the younger one has also inquired about it with their servants. It is said that it is the little servant brought in by the magistrate''s mansion a few months ago." , but just fell out of favor not long ago. Even so, the look in the eyes of that man staring at Zhengjun was too vicious. When I was young, I followed my parents to work in other houses, and I met a few people like this. I also hope that the master will pay more attention to the safety of Zhengjun in the future." When Feng Qin was young, he followed Feng''s father and Feng''s mother as servants in another house. At that time, it was common for the master''s family to beat and scold him. Feng Qin also suffered a lot at a young age. Fortunately, that family''s fortunes fell in the end, and the family went through many twists and turns before arriving at the Shen family. The reason why I said so much today is because the two masters of the Shen family are rare and good masters. Feng Qin doesn''t want anything to happen to Zhengjun in the end, otherwise the young master will definitely be sad. "Although you have indeed done meritorious service in saving Zhengjun, this matter is your own decision after all. If this is the case, the merits and demerits will be offset, and you will be fined for a month. Go back and reflect on it." Shen Xiangyan thought for a while and finally decided this way. . After Feng Qin heard this, it was hard to believe that the young master spared him so easily, and he was even more grateful at the moment. The most taboo of these servants is to do things behind their master''s back, let alone such a big matter. Originally, Feng Qin thought that this time the lightest would have to eat a few boards, but he didn''t expect the master to let him go so easily. Thinking of this, Feng Qin kowtowed three more times to Shen Xiangyan, thanking his master. "Okay, stop kneeling, get up, this time is also thanks to your vigilance. Let Zhengjun prepare a dowry for you later, if He Miao nods, let your mother go to Zhengjun to ask for orders, first give you two Let''s make a kiss." Looking at Feng Qin''s shocked expression, Shen Xiangyan didn''t have any embarrassment to tell others*, Feng Qin will be sixteen after the new year, and He Miao will be fifteen, so it is possible to make a marriage first OK. It''s been a long time since he found out about this. At the beginning, Feng Qin would blush every time he saw He Miao. Recently, he discovered that Feng Qin had grown up with some skills, and he was always looking for opportunities to send He Miao some gadgets behind his back. Besides, he didn''t think that He Miao was completely bored with Feng Qin. Since both of them had feelings for each other, it wasn''t a big problem for him to be the master''s perfect one or two. What''s more, their businessmen''s family didn''t pay much attention to it. Even if He Miao got married in the future, as long as Rong''er wanted to, he could still come back to serve Rong''er at any time. "Why, are you not satisfied with this marriage?" Shen Xiangyan didn''t respond to this silly boy for a long time, and he didn''t have the energy to be eloquent just now, Shen Xiangyan slapped him on the back of the head with a funny hand. Feng Qin was finally awakened by Shen Xiangyan''s slap, realized what the master was talking about, nodded his head incoherently, "Satisfied, not dissatisfied, I mean, thank you for your kindness, master." He spoke in a hurry, as if he was afraid that the master would go back on his word. . Seeing Feng Qinyi lose his usual composure and look silly and happy like a kid, Shen Xiangyan smiled and didn''t mind. This doesn''t have the previous alertness, it''s just a child. Shen Xiangyan touched his nose, at this age he was indeed still a child. Shen Xiangyan patted Feng Qin on the shoulder and said, "Come on, this is the idea. But you have to ask He Miao to agree to this matter, don''t just get hot on you." He is not the kind of casual marriage If He Miao has no intentions, no matter how suitable he thinks Feng Qin is. Where did Feng Qin disagree, thinking that He Miao would be settled immediately, he wished he could go and ask He Miao to nod now. After talking about this, Shen Xiangyan started to get down to business, "Today we will rest in the temple for another day, and we will start our journey tomorrow at the right time, let everyone cheer up, and watch the night. A few quilts, don''t make it hard for Zhengjun to drive tomorrow." Feng Qin took the order, "Don''t worry, young master, I''ll do it now." After speaking, he bowed to Prime Minister Shen and was about to go out, but he couldn''t wait to tell He Miao that the master agreed with them just now. Shen Xiangyan didn''t know what he was thinking, so he let him go without any difficulty, and went back to accompany Xia Rong himself. After returning to the guest room, Shen Xiangyan told Xia Rong that he wanted to point He Miao to Feng Qin. As for the matter about Taozhi, he didn''t bring it up in front of Xia Rong. One is that Xia Rong is pregnant now, so telling him about it might affect him. The second is that he doesn''t want Xia Rong to know those too dark things, he will protect his husband well, as long as Rong''er is happy every day. After such a long time of tacit understanding, Xia Rong knew that when Xianggong mentioned this matter, there must be something between the two of them, otherwise, with Xianggong''s character, he would not be able to do that kind of coercive thing. At the beginning when he bought the servant, Feng Qin entered the Shen family with his parents. Not to mention that Feng Qin is not bad at all, and his husband is also very fond of him. . Moreover, Uncle Feng and Feng''s family are also honest people, so if He Miao were to marry, they would not be embarrassed. It''s really good to think about this marriage, let alone get engaged first, but I don''t know what He Miao thinks, and He Xin, knowing that his younger brother has engaged so early, it''s hard to say whether he can agree. "Sir, then I have to find an opportunity to ask He Miaotong if he agrees with this matter. If he nods, we will do this." After all, I have been by my side for so long, so I still want to hear his opinion before making a decision. "Okay, that''s how it should be. It''s just that it''s not easy for me to say that." Shen Xiangyan hugged Xia Rong from behind, kissed the little husband''s earlobe, and then gently stroked his stomach with his hands. , "Okay, Rong''er, let''s not talk about this first, let''s think about what to name the little guy in my stomach." Xia Rong was tickled by him, and she couldn''t help laughing out loud when she heard such inconsequential words, "Master, you''re still so young, you''re so anxious to pick a name when you get to the point, let alone don''t know if it''s a boy or not." Girl, how do you choose this name?" Who knew that Shen Xiangyan really took this matter seriously, "That''s impossible, there are only less than ten months left, it''s so easy to think of a good name, and I like it equally whether it''s male or female, the big deal is to choose one A boy''s name, and a girl''s name." The more Shen Xiangyan thought about it, the more he felt it made sense, and Xia Rong allowed him to mess around, and the two of them got bored until very late before giving up. It''s just that Xia Rong still couldn''t eat much when it was time for dinner, which made Shen Xiangyan feel bad, thinking that he must ask Dr. Li to come and see him when he returned home. Ever since Xia Rong was diagnosed as pregnant and returned to Shen Mansion, she seemed to be a fragile baby. Yes, there were a lot of servants following her wherever she went. In the past, even He Xin and Miao, most of them were just serving outside. It''s good now, Xia Rong is not used to being followed anytime and anywhere, he and Shen Xiangyan have mentioned it several times, the bottom line of Shen Xiangyan''s final compromise is that he can have fewer people to follow when he is by Xia Rong''s side. But if he is not around, there must be people around him, otherwise he is not at ease. Xia Rong had no choice but to ignore the people following her as much as possible in the end, and lived her life as usual every day. However, Xia Rong''s pregnancy was not ordinary, and she couldn''t eat well in the first two months, even if she tried to eat it, she would spit it out. After Dr. Li visited her several times, he only said that Xia Rong''s pregnancy reaction was more severe, but there was nothing he could do about it. In the end, it was Shen Xiangyan who begged so hard that he had no choice but to prescribe several medicinal diets. After all, it was not easy to use medicines while pregnant, so he had to use some mild medicinal diets. Fortunately, I don''t know if the medicinal recipes worked or what, Xia Rong was finally able to eat from the third month of pregnancy. Not only can you eat something, but you also have a big appetite. In addition to normal meals, there are constant snacks and snacks. If it was before when he was not pregnant, Shen Xiangyan would still control the amount of his snacks, but now as long as he is willing to eat, without Xia Rong saying, Shen Xiangyan would put it in front of him first, wishing Xia Rong could eat more and put this It''s good to make up for two months. Chapter 41: After the busiest month of the previous year was over, there was only the last year-end meeting left for Shen Xiangyan to take care of. This year-end meeting is also Shen Xiangyan''s reference to his previous life''s work experience. On the one hand, this is to motivate the group of people under his command, and on the other hand, he is the boss at the end of the year to reward the people who work in the shop. Although the year-end meeting sounds like a big deal, in fact, Shen Xiangyan only needs to explain the matter, and there are layers of people who will do it well according to his wishes. In the end, it is only the day of the year-end meeting that needs him to come forward He just wanted to speak in public. The matter can be handled so quickly, thanks to the fact that he has gradually adopted the model of managing the studio in his previous life since the day he opened the store. So starting from the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Xiangyan could go back to accompany Xia Rong just by going to the store to inspect it at most. In this way, Xia Rong was the one who was happy. The painting teacher who was supposed to come every three days after she was pregnant stopped coming, and Xia Rong''s rare thing of learning painting from others also stopped. It was the same way before, and he didn''t think much of it, but now Xia Rong really wants to pester Shen Xiangyan all the time, but Xia Rong can also distinguish the priorities. After all, Xianggong still has to earn money to support his family, so it''s normal not to spend too much time with him. Therefore, Xia Rong can only moldy at home alone. Although He Xin and He Miao have been with him all the time, they are servants after all, and no matter what, there is a master-servant relationship. Shen Xiangyan was also aware of the problem of the little husband, and originally wanted to find a few people who were free to talk to Xia Rong, but the one who could play with Xia Rong was Gu Chen. It is even more impossible for Gu Chen to accompany him. Gu Chen himself is six months pregnant and has such a big belly, how dare he make him toss, even if he is willing, Lu Tingsheng will definitely not let him. For others, if Xia Rong has to entertain people whom Xia Rong doesn''t know well, it might as well not come. This time Shen Xiangyan finally had a holiday, and Xia Rong could finally cling to her husband with all his strength. Right now, Xia Rong was lying on Shen Xiangyan''s body, while pulling Shen Xiangyan''s collar with her small hand, she was playing chess with Xianggong. In a normal game of chess, two players should each hold pieces of the same color and sit on both sides of the chess table. When Xia Rong arrived, she wanted to play chess, but she didn''t want to be too far away from Shen Xiangyan, so in the end she could only play chess in such a strange posture. After losing another game, Xia Rong threw away the chess pieces in her hand, pouted unhappily, "No more, no more, I''m hungry, sir, I want to eat fish." The pond, although the surface of the pond was already frozen, but for some reason, he thought of the few golden and red koi raised here in summer. When I think about it, I suddenly feel very hungry. He knew what he said was a bit abrupt. After all, he used to be the least fond of fish. Who would have thought that today it would be like a convulsion. He couldn''t help but think about the taste of fish, even when he was playing chess with his husband. Just lost the game. He will not admit that Xianggong has already given him six pieces, and he still lost. That''s too embarrassing, yes, it''s just that the greedy fish didn''t play well, and that''s why they lost the game. Shen Xiangyan was also a little surprised by Xia Rong''s taste, it was a bit elusive, but he nodded in agreement, thinking that Xia Rong couldn''t spit thorns, and said, "Then I will make fish **** for you, I am very good at making fish balls, you haven''t After eating, let¡¯s make emerald fish ball soup.¡± Just do what you say, seeing Xia Rong also looks very interested, Shen Xiangyan let Xia Rong follow him into the kitchen, but Xia Rong still has to stand far away from him, as long as Xia Rong can watch When Xianggong cooks, he naturally nods in agreement. When he arrived at the kitchen, Mrs. Rong had already almost cooked what was going to be eaten tonight, and it happened that he was adding a fish ball soup, so the meal could be served. Thinking of this, Shen Xiangyan drove out all the people in the kitchen, and didn''t need them to follow suit. I looked in the fish tank in the kitchen, and there happened to be two lake fish that looked unusually fresh and plump. After Shen Xiangyan took out the fish and cleaned it, he sliced ??it into two pieces, removed the big bones and fish bones, and slowly scraped off the fish flesh with a knife. Shen Xiangyan took the time to look at Xia Rong who was standing aside and stared at him eagerly, smiled and took two eggs, and gave him an empty bowl, asking him to help separate the eggs. Xia Rong had wanted to help a long time ago, and now she was assigned a job, so excitedly she took over and divided the egg whites. On Shen Xiangyan''s side, he chopped the fish with the bone spurs into mincemeat with a knife, searched around the kitchen, and finally found a rolling pin, and used it to grind the fish into a paste. Afterwards, Shen Xiangyan took a large bowl, put the fish paste in it, added an appropriate amount of minced ginger, and stirred the water and salt with chopsticks in one direction. Finally, while stirring, add the egg white that Xia Rong separated before adding in twice, and after a lot of effort, the fish paste is complete. Xia Rong was already hungry from watching, Shen Xiangyan''s hands were wet, so he could only kiss the young husband''s face with his mouth, and said with a smile, "Hungry? We have to wait a while, Rong''er can eat some coconut flakes first." Balls." As he spoke, he took out a plate of pastries from the steamer next to him, and the kitchen had always prepared snacks for Xia Rong, just in case he was hungry at any time and could eat them at any time. When he entered the kitchen just now, he opened it first and saw that today it was coconut balls, which will come in handy. Xia Rong took the plate containing the coconut balls, ate one by herself, and then picked up one and handed it to the husband. Then put the plate aside and don''t eat it. Shen Xiangyan looked at him a little puzzled, "Why don''t you eat it, eat some more, be good." "I''m going to save my stomach and wait for my husband''s cooking." After speaking, he pushed the plate further away with a look of disgust. I don''t know who loves this kind of delicate and sweet food. . "Then Rong''er, wait a little longer." After speaking, Shen Xiangyan''s hands speeded up a lot, and he added water to the pot to heat it up, squeezed the fish paste into round **** with his hands, and put them in the pot to cook. When the fish **** are almost cooked, add various seasonings for seasoning, and watch the fish **** float up one by one, and when there is a fresh fragrance, garnish with chopped green onion and coriander. Shen Xiangyan thought about it, Xia Rong''s taste has changed a lot recently, he not only likes spicy food but also sour food, so he also added more vinegar and chili to the fishball soup than usual. They all say sour and spicy, so how can he tell whether Xia Rong is pregnant with a boy or a girl by the taste of the food he likes to eat both sour and spicy. Shen Xiangyan shook his head amusedly, and kicked all these messy thoughts out of his mind, he likes both men and women, so now why he cares so much about whether it''s a man or a woman, he''s still dazed. Xia Rong secretly took a small spoon and waited on the side. When she saw that it was cooked, she was not afraid of being hot, so she wanted to taste it first. Shen Xiangyan shaved Xia Rong''s nose, took the spoon from him, scooped up a fish ball himself, let it cool down in the soup, and then brought it to Xia Rong''s mouth. Xia Rong also knew that he looked like a foodie in such a hurry to eat, but after rubbing his belly, he found that there were two of them now, so he was confident. Xia Rong took a sip from the spoon that Shen Xiangyan handed over. The fish soup was carefully prepared, and it was very delicious. The round fish **** were also very springy and tender. still want. "Okay, let someone bring it to the table, and there are a lot of dishes prepared in the kitchen before, let''s go to the table and eat." Shen Xiangyan touched Xia Rong''s little head, he must have been starved before, and it was too much. Yue didn''t eat well, and she was still double, so it would be good if she could eat now. Xia Rong had a very happy meal this time. He basically let him eat the fish **** in the big bowl of fish ball soup that Shen Xiangyan made. After the meal, Shen Xiangyan took Xia Rong''s hand for a walk in the yard, seeing his belly bulging from eating, Shen Xiangyan smiled more gently, and those who didn''t know thought it was pregnant, but in fact it was just full of food . The two walked around the yard twice before returning to the house. This is also his experience in his previous life, and Dr. Li also explained that, pregnant women still need exercise, and this circle is just right. If he can persevere, it will be good for Xia Rong''s future childbirth. After the walk, Shen Xiangyan sent Xia Rong back to rest, while he went back to his study. Seeing that Xia Rong ate a lot today, he was already in a good mood. Sitting in the study at the moment and listening to the people below give back is even more in a good mood. It turned out that the person who was placed in Xia''s family came back to report back. Speaking of Xia Tian''s life in Zhang''s family after getting married, it was not easy. There were several concubines in Zhang Ningyu''s room, and some were particularly favored. Xia Tian was not willing to marry Zhang Ningyu at first, but seeing the situation in his family, she made a few big fuss regardless. The old couple of the Zhang family originally heard that their son was going to marry a girl from the Xia family. Although their reputation was a bit tainted, their son also said that the man Xia''s daughter met in private was himself. From what the old couple heard, with Mrs. Xia''s background, the daughter must be pretty good, so they agreed to the marriage at first. How can I imagine that after entering the Zhang family this summer, there will be a big scene every two days without Ansheng. No matter how good the mother-in-law and father-in-law are, they can''t tolerate such a daughter-in-law. In addition, Zhang Ningyu''s marriage to her was more of a gamble with those friends, and he might regret it after making the marriage, but it was hard to get off the tiger, so he reluctantly married her back. In this way, without the support of the Zhang family''s old couple in summer, life is even more sad. Maybe Xia Tian started to run home after watching the trouble and seeing it was useless, which made Mrs. Xia have a headache, and she had to listen to her in Xia Tian if she wanted to manage it. fell ill. In Xia''s mansion, Mrs. Xia was so ill, but Master Xia''s concubine was pregnant. This made Master Xia very happy. Master Xia has been looking forward to having a son who can take care of him until the end of his life. This time, his concubine''s stomach is so upbeat, and even the people are becoming noble all of a sudden. Mrs. Xia never expected that after she fell ill just once, that concubine who had always looked honest but not very clever would become pregnant, and this hit Mrs. Xia even more. Shen Xiangyan listened to the reports from the people below, but he thought that Mrs. Xia had only one twin son and one daughter for so many years, Mrs. Xia''s handwriting must be indispensable in this. Since ancient times, there have never been fewer underworld affairs in the back house, which is one of the reasons why he only wants Rong''er alone. Chapter 42: Although Xia Rong is eating and sleeping well now, it is not as worrying as when she was first diagnosed with pregnancy. But Shen Xiangyan was still afraid that he would be tired, so he didn''t let Xia Rong intervene in the matters that needed to be prepared for the New Year. He took care of all the dealings, and all kinds of new year purchases at home. Not only that, Shen Xiangyan was afraid that Xia Rong would be bored, so he made out the mahjong that was popular among men, women and children in his previous life. Shen Xiangyan pulled Xia Rong, and He Xin and He Miao started playing together. Mahjong is a magical thing to say, and they all said that novices are very lucky with cards, and this was directly reflected at their table. In the beginning, when Shen Xiangyan taught the three to fight, relying on his previous experience, he always won steadily. But the good times don''t last long, and when the three of them have almost learned, it will become a situation where the three of them take turns to win, but he keeps losing. After waiting for a few hands of newcomer cards, the situation changed, and the big winner on the table became Xia Rong alone, and the remaining three of them lost big and small, but in general it was Xia Rong. win the most. This time, He Xin won a big head, and he was not lenient at all when collecting money. When it was He Miao''s turn, He Miao still wanted to rely on the deep brotherhood and play the emotional card to repay the debt. He Xin was not happy, "Hey, it''s all agreed, don''t renege on the debt, if you don''t have the money, ask Feng Qin to pay you." He Miao and Feng Qin had already got engaged a few days ago, but He Xin''s decision The elder brother still depends on Feng Qin''s nose or eyes. If it''s not Feng Qin, he''s not good enough. If you want to blame him, you can blame him for abducting his own brother. When He Miao heard his brother mention Feng Qin, he blushed a lot, gave a piss, and reluctantly grabbed a handful of copper coins from his purse and gave them to He Xin without counting them, "Here you are, here you are." , who said I would renege on my debts." He Xin laughed and returned the two extra copper coins to He Miao, "I won''t take advantage of you, or you will use this as an excuse to play tricks on me later." Several people playing a round of mahjong were in a good mood. After the end, Xia Rong held her small box of money and kept counting each one. I counted him winning the most today, but this little fool doesn''t know that his luck is so good because he has been counting the cards and feeding him the cards. Even He Xin and He Miao deliberately let him, otherwise how could there be any chance? It''s so easy for anyone to play a card, and he can win. Looking at Xia Rong, who was holding a money box containing a pile of copper coins, with a smug face, Shen Xiangyan was so funny that he didn''t tell the truth. The most important thing was that Xia Rong had a good time. He made up for them behind his back. Soon after Li Dongsheng came to visit Shen''s house a few years ago, this new game called mahjong was passed down to the whole town''s upper-class people. This thing is much more interesting than the leaf cards they are tired of playing. Playing mahjong during the New Year has become a popular trend. If someone goes to someone''s house and can''t play mahjong during the New Year, they will definitely be ridiculed by others. This is an unexpected consequence for Shen Xiangyan I will not mention it for now. Right now, Li Dongsheng, who was sent by Mr. Li to give the Shen family a new year gift, was looking at the three people across the table indignantly, "No, are the three of you in partnership? Come on, fight again, eh, I don''t believe it anymore." The law of novice poker luck seems to be invalid for Li Dongsheng. Yes, this is already the fifteenth hand he lost. Shen Xiangyan yawned without even looking at Li Dongsheng, "Come on, don''t fight if you don''t want to fight, I think you won''t win if you come to another fifteen rounds, pay back the money, pay back the money, first pay back the money you owed before." .¡± "Who said, no, just try again, maybe I''ll be fooled next time." Li Dongsheng poured the last bit of pocket money in his purse on the table with reluctance, and counted it, but it wasn''t enough. Even if he counted all this money, it was still half a tael short, and Li Dongsheng''s face turned dark immediately. Who would have thought that his grand owner of Zhuyuexuan, a well-known young and promising man in Furong Town, only had five taels of pocket money in his monthly purse. This matter has to be rewinded three months ago. Li Dongsheng heard that someone bought a picture of a horse that was said to be authentic at a high price of 500 taels, but when he bought it back, Mr. Li saw that it was a fake. Mr. Li was so angry that he broke it. his silver. He still has five taels of pocket money every month now, and that''s because his wife took pity on him and allocated it to him from her monthly bill every month. Shen Xiangyan sneered, "Our big boss of Zhuyuexuan only has this little money, forget it, let''s go, Rong''er, He Xin, let''s stop playing with him." Li Dongsheng was about to be **** off by Shen Xiangyan''s rage, but he was not reconciled. He didn''t believe that he couldn''t win this time today. The jasper orchid hairpin made by the master is given to my sister-in-law as a gift, and the money will be charged to my account." Master Xing is a master craftsman hired by Zhu Yuexuan at a high price. He has a very exquisite craftsmanship passed down from his family, and every jewelry that comes out of his hands can be sold at a high price. In terms of inviting Master Xing, Shen Xiangyan helped. The main reason is that the jewelry drawn by Shen Xiangyan is very novel, which gave Master Xing a lot of inspiration. Those who have reached a certain level of craftsmanship care most about things that can provide them with inspiration. After seeing Shen Xiangyanhua''s jewelry design, they decided to go to Zhuyuexuan. This jasper orchid hairpin is the latest work of master Xing. The jade material used happened to have two colors of white and yellow from green. Master Xing used the characteristics of this material to carve an orchid hairpin. The orchid petals are White, the stamens are yellow, and the carving is lifelike, just like the real thing. Shen Xiangyan has long been thinking about taking this hairpin back for Xia Rong to wear, but Li Dongsheng has always refused, saying that he wants to put this hairpin in the store to attract customers. Now that the hairpin is on display in the store, Li Dongsheng is cruel enough to let it out, so he expects this turned serf to sing. Shen Xiangyan raised his eyebrows, knowing that he was hooked, he smiled and nodded in agreement to give it another shot. As you can imagine, Li Dongsheng lost again, and he lost completely. Shen Xiangyan was playing with the cards in his hand, and when he saw Li Dongsheng was about to leave, he smiled more sincerely than before, "Don''t forget the orchid hairpin of my Rong''er, brother Li, remember to send it some other day, eh, by the way, And don''t forget the half taels of silver you owed just now." Li Dongsheng was heartbroken and heartbroken. He was in pain everywhere. Not only did he lose five taels of silver, he also owed half a tael. That was his pocket money for a month. He didn''t know how to explain it to his wife when he returned. And that jasper orchid hairpin, how many customers can that hairpin attract to the shop every day, and it is delivered so early, what should he use to attract people into the shop. After Li Dongsheng left, Xia Rong and He Xin finally couldn''t help laughing loudly. The three of them didn''t want to be a partner to bully people at first. But Li Dongsheng insisted on pulling them to play together after he learned it by himself, and the three of them had a tacit understanding in playing cards recently, so when Shen Xiangyan signaled to them later, he naturally obeyed. Shen Xiangyan picked up Xia Rong after seeing him off, and of course he was careful not to touch his stomach, and smiled, "How about it, my husband earned you a hairpin, how do you want to repay me?" Xia Rong put her arms around her husband''s neck and gave her a sweet kiss. After thinking about it, she couldn''t help but ask, "Brother Li knows he won''t get angry in the future, right?" "It''s okay, since you''re afraid that he''ll get angry, don''t let him know. Besides, we''re not cheating people, Zhu Yuexuan is half as good as you and me." He knew Brother Li''s temper, and he wasn''t such a stingy person. If you dare to make trouble with him like this, if you put it on the hairpin, after displaying it in the shop for a period of time, you still have to give it to their family Rong''er, now it''s just a little earlier. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª In his previous life, Shen Xiangyan had no idea about the New Year, because he had no relatives, so even during the New Year, there would be no difference in the orphanage except for posting a few red blessing characters. It is possible to add a few dishes, but there are so many children vying for it, as long as he can eat enough with his nature, he will not go up and fight for a few bites. But it''s different now, he is no longer alone during the Chinese New Year, he has his husband to accompany him, and soon a little guy will be born, naturally, the New Year''s Eve also has a different impression in Shen Xiangyan''s mind. This year''s New Year''s Eve, in addition to the fixed dishes, Shen Xiangyan also set up a hot pot in the middle of the table. It is the most suitable time for family reunion to gather around and eat this kind of food. This way of eating hot pot is not uncommon in Fengyu Country, especially the Furong Town where he is now located in the north of Fengyu Country. It is also common to eat hot water soup in winter, but there is no specific dipping material, most of them are dipped in salt. In addition to the special hot pot soup base, there are also special dipping sauces for eating hot pot. Shen Xiangyan first used sesame paste as a base, added chili powder, salt, sesame seeds, peanuts, and leek flowers specially prepared for the hot pot before, and finally added a little vinegar to suit Xia Rong''s taste. In addition, the mutton slices used in the hot pot are also live sheep sent from the village. After the mutton is cooked, it can be regarded as a real hot pot when eaten with special dipping sauce. It was the first time for Xia Rong to eat like this, and she fell in love with it right away. This year, Shen Xiangyan set up another table not too far from their dining table, and they are all served by the two of them. After all, there are only two masters in the Shen family. During the Chinese New Year, there are more people and they eat in the same room , he and Rong''er can also follow the excitement. Shen Xiangyan saw that Xia Rong''s food was delicious, so he consciously took charge of the task of serving dishes and meat, adding something to Xia Rong''s bowl from time to time, so that everyone in the Shen family enjoyed a New Year''s Eve dinner. Chapter 43: This year''s New Year''s Eve dinner was even more lively than last year''s. During the night watch, because of Shen Xiangyan''s intentional indulgence, the entire Shen residence was very lively, and every servant had a smile on their faces. That''s why Xia Rong was uncharacteristically not sleepy, insisting on watching the night with her husband. In fact, Xia Rong has been drowsy since she was pregnant. Even if Shen Xiangyan didn''t call him in the morning and let Xia Rong sleep until she woke up naturally, and then took a half-hour nap at noon, she would pack herself up and go to bed early at night. , and by the way, I had to ask him to tell a bedtime story. The basic story just started, and Xia Rong fell asleep with his arms in his arms. So even though New Year''s Eve is special, Shen Xiangyan still wanted to persuade him to go to bed first. But it''s rare to see him so energetic, so I''ll let it go after thinking about it, after all, it''s not like this once a year. While chatting, the couple watched people show off their strengths, and waited until the twelve bells sounded from a distance, before Shen Xiangyan carried Xia Rong back to the room and went to sleep. When it comes to Chinese New Year, I must have this feeling. When I made various preparations years ago, I felt that the days passed very slowly. I prepared to order this today and that tomorrow. I counted the days and looked forward to the early arrival of New Year¡¯s Eve. But after the New Year''s Eve, you will immediately feel that the New Year passes very quickly. In a blink of an eye, the new year is coming to an end, Xia Rong is fiddling with the small purse in her hand, there are a handful of little golden pigs inside, there can be more than a dozen, all are the lucky money given to him by the grandpa on the first morning of the Lunar New Year, these little golden pigs All the pigs are very cute and cute. The pig''s head is cute and bigger than the whole body, full of childlike fun. Although Xia Rong liked it, she couldn''t help but slander in her heart. The husband gave him this as lucky money, he was laughing at him, he must have been laughing at him. Didn''t he just eat a little too much? How can you compare him with a little pig? Even if this little pig is really cute, but no matter how cute it is, it''s still a pig. When Xianggong accompanied him back to Xia''s house on the second day of junior high school, Xia Rong felt that the master and wife''s attitude towards them was not good, but it was not as sarcastic as when they came last year. Even Zhang Ningyu and his wife who came back to the door when they were about to leave were deliberately held back by Zhang Ningyu for a long time, and Xia Tian was not happy at first, but after being glared at by Zhang Ningyu, he was also unwilling Come up and say hello to them. Although he doesn''t understand these things very well, but thinking about it, he must have something to do with Xianggong''s becoming more and more capable in the past two years. What''s more, Xianggong''s bank notes earned during the monthly checkout are all placed with him. How could he not know that his family is getting richer now. Xia Rong knew that she was not that kind of very smart person, but she knew that as long as she followed closely behind her husband, nothing would go wrong. It''s not that he doesn''t know many things, but that Xianggong doesn''t want him to know, so he won''t be curious about those things that don''t matter. He only needs to take care of himself and the child in his womb, and the most important thing is to understand that everything Xianggong does is for his own good. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The New Year''s Eve was going well, but on the morning of the tenth day of the lunar new year, the officers and soldiers of the county government put up notices with great fanfare. Shen Xiangyan had sent Chen Cai to see the notice early on. This kind of errand asked Chen Cai to ensure that it was correct. Generally speaking, the emperor passed away, the crown prince came to the throne, and the new emperor ascended the throne. His Royal Highness, as a show of filial piety to the late emperor, decided to let the people of the whole country follow the mourning for the late emperor for one month. It is not easy for the crown prince to ascend the throne, the late emperor loved Concubine Xue Gui to the point that even a three-year-old child knew it, and the eldest prince born to Concubine Xue was therefore more favored by the late emperor. In this way, the status of the crown prince of the East Palace can be said to be in jeopardy. This crown prince is the queen''s direct son. When the first emperor came to the throne, the court situation was unstable. Two sons, one is the third prince and the other is the fifth prince, so the former emperor canonized the third prince born to the queen as the prince, so as to consolidate the court. It''s a pity that when the princes grow up little by little, the first emperor will completely control the government and the empress. For some reason, she began to fear the Su family more and more. Originally, these things had nothing to do with the common people, but the former emperor doted on Concubine Xue, the Xue family of the noble concubine''s natal family was favored in the palace, and the family members were wanton and rampant outside, doing evil and causing the common people to complain. The common people are not stupid, the Xue family is more loyal than the Su family, and everyone sees it from top to bottom. Naturally, when the announcement stated that the crown prince who was known to be a benevolent prince was enthroned, the common people were very happy. Shen Xiangyan listened to Chen Cai talking about the royal gossip in front of him without restraint, copied a book from the table, and knocked him on the head, "You dare to say anything, you don''t know that talking about the royal family is a felony "Although he taught such a lesson, Shen Xiangyan didn''t care about it in his heart, after all, he was used to living in an era where everyone was equal, and Furong Town where he is now is far away from the capital city where the emperor is at the foot of the emperor. , so it doesn''t matter to talk about these royal gossips in private. "Aren''t you happy for the crown prince''s successful enthronement? I heard that the Xue family did all sorts of crimes in the capital, and I have never seen that the eldest prince restrained the Xue family. If he ascends the throne, our common people''s lives will definitely not be easy. It''s all right now. , the crown prince ascends the throne, and we ordinary people can also breathe a sigh of relief." Chen Cai didn''t care if he was told by his master, there were only two of them in the room, and he just couldn''t help but want to say a few more words. Shen Xiangyan picked up the book in his hand and hit Chen Cai a few more times, "Hey, you haven''t finished talking yet, come on, don''t dare to say anything outside." While holding his head and being beaten, Chen Cai murmured, "You know, you still have some sense of propriety, so how dare you talk nonsense outside." He still knows about Chen Cai. Although he is a little out of tune in front of him, he still has a sense of proportion outside, knowing what to say and what not to say. Shen Xiangyan laughed and scolded Chen Cai to go to the storeroom to pull some white cloth first, and also asked him to inform the servants in the house to pay attention this month, don''t wear too bright colors in clothes, and don''t take any unruly things first Come out and use it. After Chen Cai left, Shen Xiangyan put the book in his hand back to its original place. He didn''t know if the new emperor was a benevolent emperor, but he knew after reading so many history books and TV dramas that no one in the royal family simple. No matter who is in the position, it has nothing to do with him as a small businessman. After all, the status of this dynasty businessman is obviously higher than the ancient status he knows. Not only that, there are many government policies and decrees to protect this group of merchants, and the sons of merchants can also take the imperial examination. Therefore, Shen Xiangyan felt that doing business and earning money would be a good life, and there was no need to be a high-ranking official or engage in specialism like other time-travelers. Although Shen Xiangyan''s incense shop and jewelry shop are more profitable than others, they are not so conspicuous. At least on the surface, they seem to be in line with the characteristics of this dynasty. As a time traveler, he must have a prescription that can directly make a fortune, and even hand it over to the court to get rewards. For example, making glass is the colored glaze here, or a mirror that is much better than a bronze mirror. This thing is still a luxury in this dynasty, and if you take it out, you can make a lot of money. He can even make things like gunpowder as long as he is given time. But since he was a child, he knew that he could take on as many tasks as he could. He didn''t have much wealth and background, and he had a husband who needed him to take care of him. Such a day without lack of food and clothing is already very good, let¡¯s forget about the others. If Shen Xiangyan knows that the people and things that he thought were far away from him will soon be not far away, and these thoughts will be overthrown by himself soon, and he doesn''t know what mood he must be in, this will be another story . Now after explaining these things to Chen Cai, Shen Xiangyan also wandered back to Haitang Courtyard to find his husband. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª After the month of mourning passed unknowingly, Shen Xiangyan looked at the invitation card sent by the magistrate''s mansion on the table and he felt like he was in the knot. Yes, the invitation says that the Spring Festival will be held at the magistrate''s mansion three days later. For a banquet, invite their family to go. The family here obviously means to bring their family members with them. But Xia Rong''s stomach is more than four months old now. Although he said that the baby will be stable after three months, he still doesn''t want to take Xia Rong on such an occasion, but this post specifically mentioned that Madam Zhixian wanted to invite her The family members are enjoying Chunlan in the backyard. This is a matter of deliberation. They called him to take Xia Rong there. Could he really not show the magistrate''s face? After thinking about it, Shen Xiangyan was still not at ease. Although the magistrate''s wife would not embarrass Xia Rong under the eyes of everyone, she was not afraid of ten thousand but just in case. When the time comes, their men will definitely be in the front yard, and Xia Rong will not be able to cope if something happens in the backyard by herself. He tightened his grip on the invitation, the Li family must also be invited this time, if he couldn''t avoid taking Xia Rong there, he still had to say hello to Aunt Li and sister-in-law first, and let them take care of Xia Rong for him when the time came. Banyan is good. Thinking of this, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t sit still, and hurriedly called Chen Cai to prepare his horse, and he was going to Li''s house. When Shen Xiangyan came back and told Xia Rong about it, Xia Rong didn''t feel any panic while holding the post, but comforted Shen Xiangyan instead. "Sir, don''t think about it too much. The magistrate''s wife can''t do anything to us. Our family didn''t murder and set fire, and didn''t evade taxes. And when there are so many people there, Aunt Li and Sister-in-law Li will also go. It''s sure to be fine." Seeing that Mr. Xiang still looked worried, Xia Rong continued, "As for the rest, I''ll have something to eat before we go, and it''s fine if I don''t touch anything on the table during the banquet. I''m pregnant with a child, and I want to come to Madam Magi won''t embarrass me." Chapter 44: No matter how much Shen Xiangyan thought about it, it was useless, so he could only sigh softly in the end. It wasn''t until this time that he realized how ridiculous it was to be self-righteous a few days ago and be satisfied just by being a businessman. If he had some rights in this dynasty, at least Xia Rong could be saved from this misery when encountering such a thing. Since it was useless to think too much, Shen Xiangyan could only do his best to make arrangements. Three days later, Shen Xiangyan tied Xia Rong with a lotus-blue belt embroidered with dark patterns of orchid leaves with silver thread, while telling him about the past two days. According to the inquired news, "Madam Zhixian was the concubine daughter of the sixth-rank general judge Yao''s family in Jingzhou before she left the cabinet. She is married to the seventh-rank Zhixian Ye Zhixian. This Yao family is considered to be a branch of Yao Shangshu''s Yao family in the capital. It¡¯s just that the relationship between the two generations is not as close as before.¡± After all, marrying a wife from a high family and marrying a daughter from a low family, although the Yao family is related to Yao Shangshu''s lineage in the capital, the magistrate''s wife is the concubine daughter of the Tongpan family after all, so there is nothing wrong with marrying Ye Zhixian who was born in the imperial examination. Rong nodded to show that he was listening carefully. After getting dressed, He Miao combed Xia Rong''s hair, while Shen Xiangyan was flipping through Xia Rong''s usual jewelry box, "Mrs. Magistrate has a man and a woman. It is said that she is a rare and magnanimous one. Ye Zhixian carried so much money." Many concubines, I didn''t see the magistrate''s wife turning her face, but she managed the house tightly. Therefore, Ye Zhixian also respects her a little bit. This time, the orchids you want to reward should be all It is in the magistrate''s collection, and it is said that she loved orchids very much before she came out of the cabinet." Although Shen Xiangyan talked about the generosity of the magistrate''s wife, he was not moved at all in his heart. After searching through the jewelry box for a long time, he couldn''t find the one he liked, and turned to He Xin who was still tidying the bedding. He ordered, "What about the jasper orchid hairpin that brother Li sent me a few days ago, take it out, today I don''t want to appreciate orchids, Rong''er wears that just for the occasion." "Slave and maidservant, go get them now." He Xin was in charge of tidying up Zhengjun''s clothes and jewelry. He Xin put down his work when he heard that the young master asked for the hairpin, and took the key to open a locked small door. from the cabinet, took out a mahogany box and handed it to Shen Xiangyan. Shen Xiangyan opened the mahogany box, and it was the orchid hairpin inside, and he inserted it for Xia Rong himself, and then he looked at it with satisfaction. Although Xia Rong also has pierced ears, her daily attire is not as feminine as some twins. They are all extremely clean, and basically don''t wear other jewelry except for a hairpin. In Shen Xiangyan''s heart, Shuang''er is also a man, and he can''t control others. If the person he lives with is dressed in a very feminine way, thinking about that scene, he will be a little incapable of accepting it. Fortunately, Xia Rong does not agree with him on this point. And together. After all, today was going to a banquet. With this hairpin, Xia Rong''s outfit was just right, neither too plain nor too gorgeous. Shen Xiangyan checked the time to see that it was almost time, and then helped Xia Rong into the carriage. In the carriage, Shen Xiangyan pulled Xia Rong into his arms, let him sit on his lap, kissed Xia Rong''s forehead, and asked again worriedly, "Let He Xin and He Miao follow you all the time, don''t be alone." People are walking around. Xianggong has already said hello to the people of Li''s family. If you have anything to do, you can find Aunt Li. If you can''t do it, send someone to look for me in the front yard. When the time is almost up, I will find an excuse in advance to pick you up. " Xia Rong rubbed her husband''s chest, expressing that she had heard it all, and she was amused and touched, "Rong''er knows, it''s like a dragon''s pond and a tiger''s lair that Xianggong said, and Rong''er is about to become a father , I am not a child anymore, I know how to take care of myself." "Okay, okay, our family''s Rong''er is an older child, so you don''t have to worry about it." Shen Xiangyan rubbed Xia Rong''s head, and it would be better for him to worry about it out of nothing. Xia Rong dodged her husband''s hand touching his head, her newly combed hair would be messed up if she rubbed it like this, what kind of big child is there, it''s not the same as a child, Xia Rong''s hand dishonestly shines on Shen Xiangyan''s waist So I pinched it, and said dissatisfied, "Don''t mess with my hair, sir, and you are the child." God knows that since Xia Rong became pregnant, even though they still slept in the same bed together, Shen Xiangyan hadn''t touched him for several months. Now in the narrow space of the carriage, the two of them were so close together, Xia Rong''s little hand was pinching his waist, in Shen Xiangyan''s opinion, it was simply groping, okay? Soon the atmosphere between the two of them changed. Although Shen Xiangyan couldn''t see anything on his face, Xia Rong, who was sitting on top of him, couldn''t understand the change in him. She moved her body in embarrassment. The magistrate''s house was not far from their home. , I will get off in a while. Shen Xiangyan smiled wryly, and hugged the person who was still moving in his arms tightly, "Rong''er, if you keep twisting like this, I won''t be able to bear it anymore. Be good, don''t move, just let me hug you for a while and it will be fine." Xia Rong also noticed that the things under her were getting worse and worse. After being reminded by her husband, she didn''t dare to move, and honestly let him hold her. When the carriage finally stopped and Shen Xiangyan got out of the carriage first, he couldn''t tell anything strange at all. Although this place was not in front of his house, as usual, Shen Xiangyan didn''t let Xia Rong step on the pedals to get off the car, and carried him off himself. There were already guards waiting at the gate of the magistrate''s mansion, and they all lowered their heads when they saw this scene. They also heard the rumors, knowing that Xiangzilai''s Boss Shen dotes on this husband very much, and seeing it with their own eyes this time is believed to be true. Moreover, Xiangzi''s business is so good, and this person''s wealth is indispensable without even thinking about it. The rare thing is that Boss Shen keeps himself clean. None of them. Compared with the masters and young masters of other big families in Furong Town, which one didn''t have a room early. Anyone who has only one or two concubines after marriage can be regarded as a rare good man. In this way, the person in front of me who only married one twin is simply special and cannot be special. Naturally, Xia Rong almost became the envy of all the twin girls in Furong Town. Of course, although Shen Xiangyan had heard about these rumors, he hadn''t paid attention to them at all, and Xia Rong didn''t even know about them. After passing the gate of the magistrate''s mansion, Shen Xiangyan watched the little maid who led the way lead Xia Rong''s master and servant away, and then he reluctantly put away his worries, turned around and followed the boy who led the way to the front yard to give them a group of men. The banquet is set up. Leaving aside the side of the courtyard for the time being, the little maid carefully led Xia Rong into the backyard. The way Boss Shen stared at her just now seemed to poke holes in her body. Yes, how could she be careless now? , I''m afraid that Mrs. Shen will have something wrong on the road she is in charge of. Tables and tables of banquets have already been set up in the backyard, but the food has not been served yet, and there are only some melon and fruit snacks on the table. It can be seen that the host has put his heart into it, and there are several pots of orchids of different varieties next to each table. In this way, you can enjoy the orchids while eating, and the guests can feel more comfortable. The first thing Xia Rong came in was not to admire the orchids, but to find Aunt Li and Sister-in-law Li first. It just so happened that Mrs. Li had been keeping an eye on the entrance and saw him beckoning to him. Xia Rong also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw familiar people. Seeing that there was still a seat next to them, she knew it was reserved for him. Xia Rong walked over quickly with He Xin and He Miao, and before she got to her place, she heard Mrs. Li dissatisfied, "What are you doing walking so fast, slow down, He Xin quickly help your master, he But it''s precious to be pregnant, if something happens to Shen boy, he has to find me desperately." After Xia Rong was pregnant, she got used to walking with her husband, and she didn''t think it was a problem if she walked a little faster, but she blushed a little embarrassed when Aunt Li mentioned her husband, "Didn''t I see that Aunt Li was in a hurry, Li Auntie, don''t talk about me." Mrs. Li held Xia Rong''s hand, looked at his stomach, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "It''s finally all right this time, and the Shen family can be considered to have a future. Oh, you will follow me today, don''t worry, auntie." It was entrusted by your kid, but he promised to take you back intact." "Aunt Li, you just laughed at me." Mrs. Li said this in front of so many people, and Xia Rong was really ashamed this time. The ladies sitting around were also close to the Li family on weekdays, and many of them had business dealings with Shen Xiangyan. Although Xia Rong seldom participated in the gatherings between his wives, they had all heard of this young master of the Xia family, and they all laughed and laughed kindly after hearing it. After everyone laughed, Mrs. Li followed Xia Rong to talk about parenting for a while. Mrs. Li gave birth to a daughter for Li Dongsheng in June last year. Rong listened very carefully. Xia Rong didn''t have any elders around him to talk to him about these things. No matter how good his husband took care of him, he was still inexperienced. Now that he finally met someone who was willing to tell him these things, he naturally listened carefully. The atmosphere of their conversation was just right, Xia Rong suddenly felt that someone was staring at him, and as soon as he turned his head, he met Xia Rong who was sitting opposite. When he came, Xia Tian hadn''t arrived yet, and he didn''t know when he came, and the nanny who followed Xia Tian looked very familiar, and after looking carefully, he found that it was Yu Yu, who was beside Mrs. Xia. It seems that Mrs. Xia must be worried about Xia Tian, ??which is why she let Aunt Yu, who has been serving her for so many years, follow Xia Tian. Xia Rong noticed that what Xia Tian had been staring at seemed to be the orchid hairpin on his head, she frowned in confusion, this hairpin was won by her husband, so she kept staring at what she was doing. Fortunately, Nanny Yu who was on the side also noticed something was wrong with her young lady, and tugged at her sleeve, Xia Tian snorted and turned her head away from looking at him. Chapter 45: Mrs. Li noticed that Xia Rong was a little distracted, and was about to ask him what was wrong, when she heard some movement at the gate of the courtyard, and looked to the location of the sound, it turned out that Mrs. Magistrate had arrived. Madam Zhixian wore a floral skirt embroidered with four happy wishes in Hunan color. Although she was a woman in her thirties, her appearance did not show any signs of aging at all. In addition, she had a unique gentle temperament for women of this age, making her even more glamorous dignified. It''s no wonder that even though the magistrate of Ye County has taken in so many concubines and servants, and he likes the new and dislikes the old, he still respects the wife who is being married by the Ming media. Seeing that Madam Zhixian had arrived, the group of ladies and ladies hurriedly got up to say hello, until Madam Zhixian arrived at the main seat, and then everyone sat down politely and returned to their original places. Xia Rong noticed that besides a few maids and mothers, there were two young but very handsome servants following Madam Zhixian. One of them is Taozhi, who has had a double-sided relationship with him. Looking at Taozhi''s current attire, Xia Rong couldn''t help but feel a little bit embarrassed, thinking that Taozhi entered the magistrate''s mansion, and I don''t know if it was voluntary. Although I didn''t have a good impression of Taozhi when we met twice, the first time I said those almost explicit words to his husband-in-law in front of him, and the second time I was offering incense at Foguang Temple, the way Taozhi looked at him made him I feel uncomfortable even thinking about it now. But this person was finally reduced to the county magistrate''s mansion, but he still sighed in his heart, but he was limited to this, and he didn''t think about it other than saying "world affairs make people fool". Although Xia Rong was a bit more innocent, she was not a Holy Mother, and would not be so stupid as to meddle in other people''s affairs. "It''s rare that everyone is willing to show your face. It just so happens that the house has changed a new cook a while ago. When the banquet comes, everyone will help me, the master, to taste the cooking skills of this cook." When Xia Rong was thinking wildly, the magistrate''s wife had already started. It''s been a round with everyone. After the host finished speaking, the banquet officially began, and the carefully cooked dishes were brought up by the servants. The rare thing was that these dishes were still warm, and everyone talked about the dishes one by one. Xia Rong also tasted a few mouthfuls, although the taste was not bad, but he was fed by Shen Xiangyan, and he didn''t think it was too delicious. After a while, someone proposed to let the ladies and gentlemen who have not left the court to compete their talents, which can be regarded as adding to the fun of today''s orchid appreciation banquet. This is also an unwritten rule. Whenever there is such a large-scale banquet, it is a chance for the girls who have not left the cabinet to shine. Of course, this also gives those wives who want to marry their sons a chance. The opportunity to look at the future daughter-in-law in the open. Naturally, this rule was followed today, and it happened that the magistrate''s wife personally organized such an orchid appreciation banquet, and some respectable people in Furong Town were present, so these girls have long been gearing up to go on stage Show off your talents. Xia Rong took a bite of the dish closest to him from time to time, while seriously watching the talent show of this group of people, which felt quite novel. Before he got married, firstly, Mrs. Xia was not born, and secondly, she didn''t know how to please Mrs. Xia. Naturally, Mrs. Xia took Xia to such things. Later, after marrying Shen Xiangyan, Xia Rong was well protected again, and it was also the reason why Shen Xiangyan only started to emerge in the town in the past two years. Say them. All in all, it was the first time for Xia Rong to participate in such a large banquet. On such a day, those who will perform on stage will definitely show what they are good at. So whether it''s dancing, musical instruments or other things, it''s all very exciting. Xia Rong was just finishing admiring a girl in a gauze dress with embroidered folded branches and flowers and leaves while dancing and painting orchids on the spot. At the time when she was most interested, she heard Xia Tian from the opposite side suddenly say, "Miss Bai, although the orchid painting is beautiful, Good, but not quite as realistic as the other orchid here." The ladies and ladies in the audience were originally admiring the painting and dancing here, and they became very interested when they heard this. One of the eleven or twelve-year-old girls couldn''t help asking, "Which orchid flower is there?" ? Can it be more beautiful than the orchid painted by sister Bai''s family?" Seeing that he successfully attracted everyone''s attention, Xia Tian deliberately smiled without saying a word and only looked in Xia Rong''s direction. Everyone followed Xia Tian''s gaze, and they were a little puzzled at first, but in the end it was the little girl who saw the trick first, "That brother''s hairpin is so unique, and the orchids on it are really real." It was only then that everyone noticed that Xia Rong''s outfit was not eye-catching at first glance, but after a second look, they found that everything was exquisite from top to bottom. Especially the white orchid with yellow pistil on the hair, if you don''t look carefully, you think it is a real orchid pinned in the hair, but this time you find that it is actually a hairpin. "Mr. Shen is really fond of Brother Rong. Even Zhu Yuexuan can get you the hairpin that Zhu Yuexuan has clearly stated not to sell. From this point of view, I, as an older sister, can rest assured." Zhu Yuexuan saw this hairpin before, and fell in love with it at the time. She wanted to buy it back no matter how much money she had, but the shopkeeper said that this hairpin was not for takeaway. It is conceivable that when I came to the banquet today, I saw this hairpin. On Xia Rong''s head, what can she feel in her heart. Seeing someone making things difficult for Xia Rong during the banquet, Tao Zhi, who had been standing honestly behind the magistrate''s wife, couldn''t help but agree, "No, no one in Furong Town knows that Mr. Shen loves his husband the most. So far, there is not even a connecting room in the house." Taozhi talked quickly for a while, but after she finished speaking, she regretted it. Since he returned from Foguang Temple last time and recovered from his injuries, he found a way to make the county magistrate pay attention to him again. But since then, Madam Zhixian always made excuses for him to come to her every day to learn the rules, and he also complained to Ye Zhixian behind his back, but Ye Zhixian said that Madam was right no matter what he said. He was obedient and obedient, which made him miserable. Tao Zhi couldn''t help but say those two words just now, and now Tao Zhi''s heart couldn''t help beating. She took a look at Madam carefully, and found that Madam was concentrating on eating the crab roe cream in the bowl, and didn''t look at him. But the nanny next to his wife couldn''t stand the cold and emotionless look in his eyes, Tao Zhi was so frightened that he didn''t dare to speak again during the whole banquet. On the surface, Xia Tian and Tao Zhi''s words sounded like there was no problem, and there was a look of sincere joy for Xia Rong everywhere. In fact, these words do not mean that to some people, especially those who have many concubines and servants at home. Which regular wife has never imagined that her husband can treat herself as a pair for the rest of her life as described in the picture book. But which can be achieved? Now that such an example is vividly placed in front of this, how many people can not feel jealous, not to mention that the person who owns these is a twin who is worse than them. The two words of Xia Tian and Tao Zhi had drawn so much hatred for Xia Rong invisibly. In fact, Xia Tian''s plan, which is not considered a strategy, also included the magistrate''s wife. After all, what happened in the magistrate''s mansion was not a secret, and basically everyone in Furong Town knew about it. It''s a pity that Xia Tian''s calculations are coming to nothing, she has heard similar words from Tao Zhi''s mouth, and both inside and outside the words imply that Xia Rong is vicious and can''t tolerate others. Otherwise, how could she deliberately reveal the meaning of asking each family to bring their family members in the invitation cards to each family. It''s not because she is interested in Xia Rong who can be favored by her husband alone, so when this banquet is held this time, she wants to take this opportunity to meet him. The reason why Mrs. Zhixian didn''t care how many concubines and servants the magistrate brought was because she knew what kind of person Ye Zhixian was, and she didn''t put her heart on Ye Zhixian at all. , he was just a little curious, not jealous or anything like that. Therefore, when she mentioned Shen''s family when she was drawing up candidates for the banquet invitation, she took advantage of the opportunity to invite this person to come and see. When she didn''t see anyone, she thought that young master Xia would be powerful, just like Tao Zhi hinted in front of him, he was jealous and could not tolerate others. But today it seems that this is not the case. This is a soft-tempered person who is very easy to bully. The prime minister''s wife thought with great interest, either this person is very good at disguising, or that Mr. Shen is also interesting and really dotes on this person. Seeing that everyone''s eyes were on him, Xia Rong knew that he had to say something, so he let out a shy smile and said, "Zhuyuexuan doesn''t sell this hairpin, my husband only said it when he gave it to me." Someone insisted on sending him off." This was also what Shen Xiangyan and Li Dongsheng had agreed upon beforehand, but I didn''t expect someone to actually ask about it. Here Mrs. Li heard Xia Tian talk about this with the hairpin, and she was secretly annoyed that she didn''t know how to stop after she got married. She knew that the Pearl Yuexuan opened by her son had half of the shares mixed with the boy from the Shen family. Others wanted to buy this Hairpins are not easy, and the boss can have any problems using things from his own store, but she knew that the Shen family boy must have his own reasons for not disclosing that he is the other boss of Zhuyuexuan, so she deliberately laughed and scolded, "Other things I may not know it yet, but I do know about the hairpin. Years ago, that **** in my family insisted on playing cards with Shen¡¯s boy, and refused to admit defeat even after losing more than ten hands. This annoyed Shen boy. Talk to him. That **** in my family insisted on taking out this hairpin as a bet in the end and wanted to win again, but no, he still didn¡¯t win in the end, so the hairpin belongs to others.¡± Mrs. Li joked about her son''s scandal, and the scene she said was so vivid that everyone burst into laughter, which at once downplayed the value of the hairpin itself, and instead it became a nonsense between the two boys. The young lady of the Bai family who just finished dancing on the stage here also followed suit, and said obediently to Madam Zhixian, "Whoever said that my orchids are not as good as people, ma''am, you can also comment on me. Is my painting better?" "The words that were originally unreasonable passed through Miss Bai''s mouth, but there was a girl''s unique cuteness, coaxing everyone in the audience to praise her for her good painting. Miss Bai on the stage was expecting the compliments from the audience after dancing. She had practiced this orchid dance for three months. Only in this way can the orchid in the painting bloom perfectly. She had just finished dancing perfectly, but Xia Tian abducted everyone''s attention in no time. This Miss Bai family is also a person with clear grievances and grievances, and she hates Xia Xia''s domineering appearance the most, and it is not a day or two for the two of them to fight against each other. At this moment, seeing that she was the one who disturbed his good affairs, naturally she should disturb what Xia Tian wanted to do. "Okay, Suyi''s painting is good. The orchids in my yard are not as good as those painted by Suyi." The lady of the Bai family is called Bai Suyi. Seeing that someone rescued Xia Rong, the magistrate smiled and joked. . After going around like this, no one was paying attention to Xia Rong anymore, and Xia Rong also heaved a sigh of relief. Only Xia Tian, ??who wanted to make trouble, gritted her teeth angrily, but when she wanted to say something, she was held down by Nanny Yu by the side. Madam Yu is also very tired. Mrs. Xia is sick and doesn''t trust her daughter, so she sent her to take care of her. Although she was worried about her master in her heart and wished she could go back to take care of Mrs. Xia who was seriously ill, but the master had orders and she had to listen. It really hurt my wife''s heart, the young lady''s temper is really too bold and reckless. After another half an hour like this, a little maid came in and whispered something in the magistrate''s ear. Madam Zhixian smiled after hearing this, and pointed to Xia Rong who was sitting below and said a few words to the nurse next to her. Some do not know why. But before he could figure out why, he saw the nanny walking up to him, and said respectfully, "Mr. .¡± Xia Rong heard that her husband was calling her, so she greeted Mrs. Li beside her, and took He Xin and He Miao to follow the nanny back the way they came. When she got to the place where her husband was separated from her husband in the front yard, and saw that her husband was really waiting for him there, Xia Rong thanked the nanny, "Thank you mama, I''m sorry mama, please help me Madam Ye and I also thank you." The nanny saluted solemnly and said, "Mr. Shen, you don''t have to be polite. This is what this old slave should do. I will definitely bring your thanks to you. Madam has something else to tell Mrs. Shen. Madam said, ''Be careful. Ye Zhen''." Without looking at Xia Rong''s reaction, she turned and left. Chapter 46: By the time Xia Rong wanted to stop her and ask Mrs. Magistrate what she meant, the nanny had already left. Xia Rong looked at the nun''s back and was a little confused, but when he met the eyes of the old man in the distance, he felt at ease. He thought that as long as he told the old man about this, the old man would know how to deal with it. Thinking of this, Xia Rong couldn''t help but smiled, and walked quickly towards where Shen Xiangyan was standing, at least he still remembered that there was still a little guy in his belly, so he didn''t run and pounce on him like before. "My little ancestor, please slow down, you are all going to be a father, why is it still like this." When Shen Xiangyan saw Xia Rong and a little rabbit, yes, he jumped towards this side, his whole body They all became nervous, and rushed forward to hug him into his arms to feel relieved. Xia Rong buried her head in her husband''s chest, and rubbed and rubbed. Although it was only less than two hours since the two separated, Xia Rong was greedy for this warmth. Shen Xiangyan looked dotingly at the little head that kept digging into his arms, and said with a smile, "Okay, Rong''er, this is the county magistrate''s mansion, not a place to talk. My husband knows that you admire me ruthlessly, but we We still have to change places." "Hmph, Mr. Xiang, your skin must be as thick as a city wall." Xia Rong curled her lips. Mr. Xiang knew that this was someone else''s territory, so he still said so. "Could it be that our family''s Rong''er doesn''t love me at all? Alas, Rong''er doesn''t want me anymore. My husband''s heart hurts so much." Xia Rong''s ears turned red quickly due to the hot breath she exhaled when speaking. Xia Rong only felt itching at the tips of her ears, she hurriedly broke free from Shen Xiangyan''s arms, and stammered, "Who, who doesn''t want you anymore." Shen Xiangyan saw that his little husband Lang clearly had an arrogance in his heart that he didn''t want to admit, so he laughed loudly, and led Xia Rong all the way out of the magistrate''s mansion, and got into his own carriage that had been waiting outside the gate. After entering the carriage, Xia Rong cleared her throat, and carefully studied what the magistrate next to Madam Zhixian said to him just now, and finally asked with some concern, "Master Ye knows this person named Ye Zhen? Madam Ye told us to be careful of him, why?" Something happened." Shen Xiangyan knew about Ye Zhen, he was Ye Zhixian''s nephew. There is no such thing as a clean and clear business. You have to manage everything from the government office to the local hooligans. As the nephew of Yezhi County, Ye Zhen represents Yezhi County in the eyes of these businessmen. So if they want to leave a name in Yezhi County, they must go through Ye Zhen''s hand. Speaking of Shen Xiangyan and Ye Zhen, they only met a few times and had two drinks, and Brother Li was present every time. Now let him think about what to pay attention to this person, he is really not very clear, and after all, Mrs. Zhixian and Ye Zhen are counted as a family, why is it unnecessary to remind them. It seems that the only way to know the result is to send someone behind the scenes to investigate first. He knows that Ye Zhen has always been interested in Miss Ruyue in Chunfenglou, so maybe he can start from here. Shen Xiangyan''s heart was full of twists and turns, but he didn''t show anything on his face. He hugged Xia Rong''s warm little body and squinted his eyes, "Oh, Ye Zhen is the nephew of Ye Zhi County. You are too handsome, and you are so lucky to marry such a little wife like you, so I am too envious." After speaking, she still pretended to be a flirtatious young man, lifted Xia Rong''s chin and kissed her. The soft tongue was lured out little by little, and Shen Xiangyan tasted the deliciousness in his arms generously, eating and eating. I just feel that the little person in my arms is really fragrant and soft. I just wanted to taste it, but I was more and more attracted by this soft touch, and I couldn''t stop it. When Xia Rong was able to breathe smoothly again, there was a roar in her head, and Ye Zhen''s name was nowhere to be found. Seeing Fulang''s dazed stupor, Shen Xiangyan really wanted to bully him, but when he caught sight of Xia Rong''s slightly protruding belly, there was only resentment left in those eyes with thick eyes. What kind of conspiracy does not have the sense of existence of the child in Xia Rong''s belly now. My mind is full of tastes that I have tasted before, but it is a pity that I can only watch but not eat. Xia Rong struggled out of the hypoxic state of his head, and immediately laughed when he met Shang Xianggong''s resentful eyes. He is not the Xia Rong who didn''t understand anything at the beginning, so it is natural to see that Xianggong is forbearing now. uncomfortable. But the point is that he has the little guy in his stomach as a shield, so he is not afraid of the ''revenge'' of his husband. So he laughed unscrupulously for a while, but soon realized that something was wrong, why the husband looked at him so...dangerously. "Rong''er, I''ve asked Dr. Li before. In fact, it can be done in three months. As long as you are careful, there won''t be any major problems." Xia Rong laughed dryly, did he just deduce that if you don''t do something, you won''t die, "Uh, no, no need, my husband." "It''s okay, since you want it baby, let''s try it tonight. I''ll be careful, and nothing will happen." How could Shen Xiangyan let this little **** go, and dare to laugh at him. When did you think about it, it''s obviously a husband, you think about it. Xia Rong just wanted to sternly refuse, but when she turned around, she found that the husband had turned into a pitiful look that if you don''t agree, I will cry for you, and there is no trace of domineering just now. In the end, Xia Rong let go of her husband''s soft-heartedness. Shen Xiangyan still knew Xia Rong best, and he knew that as long as he pretended to be pitiful, Xia Rong would definitely not have the heart to reject him. Shen Xiangyan actually felt that he was really pitiful. In his previous life and this life, he hadn''t eaten meat for so many years. Just a few days after enjoying the benefits, Xia Rong became pregnant. Could it be that he was to blame for his strong seeding ability? Cough cough, fortunately Xia Rong didn''t know what was going on in his mind, otherwise he would have finally nodded and agreed to try it at night, and it would have disappeared in no time. The carriage swayed all the way to the entrance of Shen''s house, Shen Xiangyan wrapped the spare brocade quilt on the carriage with sleepy face, the little blushing husband who was sleeping in his arms, and then carried him out of the carriage. It''s also fortunate that the carriage has been specially modified, otherwise the driver who was driving the carriage accidentally heard the conversation between the young couple and didn''t know what to do. Shen Xiangyan did not borrow anyone''s hand all the way, quickly carried Xia Rong back to the Haitang Courtyard, placed him on the bed with his own hands, took off his outer shirt, leaving only a moon-white inner garment, and covered Xia Rong with the brocade quilt Alright, Shen Xiangyan heaved a sigh of relief. The two messed around in the carriage for a while, and Xia Rong yawned. Shen Xiangyan couldn''t see that the little husband was tired at all, seeing that Xia Rong covered his mouth and yawned, his heart ached and he coaxed him to fall asleep in his arms. It''s just that although spring has begun, the weather is still a bit cold, and that''s why Shen Xiangyan hurriedly carried Xia Rong into the house, fearing that he would catch a cold. Shen Xiangyan saw that Xia Rong didn''t wake up after being tossed around so much, so he lay on the bed and rubbed against the pillow, and instead slept more soundly. Thinking about coming to this banquet, Xia Rong was still exhausted. Shen Xiangyan kissed Xia Rong''s eyes and tucked his feet in. Then he got up and told He Xin to go to the study with him, while He Miao was left behind by him. Keep watch in the room, in case Xia Rong wakes up and no one is waiting for her. In the study room, Shen Xiangyan first asked about what happened at the orchid feast today as usual, and after He Xin reported them one by one, he thought for a moment before asking, "How do you think the magistrate''s wife treats Zhengjun?" He Xin didn''t know why the young master asked this question, but he still thought about it and said, "Although Madam Zhixian didn''t take the initiative to say a few words to Zhengjun, the servants still noticed that Madam Zhixian observed our Zhengjun several times during the banquet. Later When it came to the orchid hairpin, Madam Zhixian helped to change the subject, but the servant did not know whether it was on purpose or not." He Xin was made by him alone, and his judgment can still be trusted to a certain extent. He Xin would not talk nonsense about things that are uncertain. Since He Xin said so, then the county magistrate''s wife should really help Xia Rong out of the siege . Shen Xiangyan played with the purse tied around his waist, and ordered, "You go down first, I know about this, by the way, go out and call me Chen Cai and Feng Qin." He Xin saluted, After answering "Yes", he pushed the people in the study room and went out. After another half an hour, Shen Xiangyan finally had some ideas in his mind. He had discovered Chen Cai''s specialty a long time ago, no matter what he was asked to inquire about, he could inquire about it. This may also be the reason why he asked Chen Cai to handle this kind of thing whenever he encountered such a thing. Now Chen Cai has more and more information. Find out one or two. This Ye Zhen was originally the son of the eldest brother of Yezhi County. When Ye Zhixian was young, he was a scholar from a poor family, and he was born in the imperial examination. Ye Zhixian''s parents died young, and it was Brother Ye who raised Ye Zhixian and provided him with education. But when Ye Zhixian finally became an official and was able to take care of the family, the eldest brother of the Ye family passed away due to illness, leaving only the orphan and widow, that is, Ye Zhen, so Ye Zhixian has been thinking of the kindness of the eldest brother and has always loved his nephew. There is care. Because of this, Ye Zhen is also a person who can walk sideways in Furong Town, relying on Yezhi County as a backer, she has done a lot of bad things in the past. One time, Ye Zhen fell in love with a girl from the owner of a pharmacy in the town, and insisted on taking her back to be a concubine. The owner of the pharmacy naturally refused, so Ye Zhen sent people to go to the store to cause trouble, slandering their family''s medicine and killing people, and wanted to arrest the owner and go to jail. It was obvious that the boss had to nod and agree to give the girl to him, otherwise the matter would be endless and their family would not live in peace, and the boss would not be able to sue, Zhixian Ye would stand behind. In the end, the boss couldn''t help tormenting him, so he just nodded his head in recognition, but he felt sorry for the girl, and was carried into Ye Zhen''s house in a small sedan chair that night, and he didn''t know what happened to the girl now. Judging from Chen Cai''s report, this Ye Zhen is trying to redeem Miss Ruyue''s body recently, but she is nervous, and now she is trying to collect money. Thinking about it, this Ruyue is the cash cow of Chunfeng Building, and the price to redeem her must be ridiculously high. Shen Xiangyan chuckled, and after connecting the cause and effect, it''s not hard to guess that Ye Zhen might have taken a fancy to their family''s wealth. I just don''t know how this Ye Zhen fell in love with their family, Shen Xiangyan still has the mind to diverge his thinking, and thinks that this Ye Zhen is actually quite discerning. Although the business in his hands is not making a lot of money every day, it is indeed quite profitable. But if you want to get money from him, it depends on whether Ye Zhen has the ability. Although Shen Xiangyan was not afraid of him, just in case, Shen Xiangyan told Chen Cai to keep an eye on Ye Zhen and the county magistrate''s movements. Of course, he didn''t forget Miss Ruyue''s place. He wanted to come and see these three places. What did Ye Zhen want to do? Moths don''t have to be afraid. Outside the study room, the moon had already hung in the sky, Shen Xiangyan stood with his hands behind his back and looked at it for a long time. He sighed helplessly, he wanted to live a stable life, but his heart was sinister. If you don''t take the initiative to provoke, it will still be like this. A plan that has not yet taken shape quietly arises in my heart. Turning around and seeing Chen Cai and Feng Qin still standing there, he smiled and said, "Starting tomorrow, buy some children who are nine to twelve years old with better aptitude. Fortunately, no father, no mother, no relatives." He can''t prepare for the others, so he can get some half-grown children to teach them from an early age. At least such children who have nothing to worry about can guarantee their loyalty. What he has to pay is just a sum of money, just a few reliable teachers. It would take less than two years to think like this, and he would not be short of manpower. Chen Cai and Feng Qin looked at each other. Although they didn''t understand the purpose of the master''s arrangement, they still took orders out of trust in the master. Shen Xiangyan put aside these trivial matters in his mind, turned around and walked towards the kitchen, Xia Rong should be getting up soon. Thinking of the banquet in the afternoon, Xia Rong definitely didn''t eat much, even if she had eaten at home before going, but counting the time, Xia Rong should be hungry. When we arrived in the kitchen, no one was waiting for us, so Shen Xiangyan rummaged around to see if there was anything else to eat. He opened the steamer and found a plate of emerald cabbage steamed dumplings inside. Every belly of the small dumplings was white. , the dumplings are green, and they are pinched into a green cabbage. Shen Xiangyan swallowed, well, he himself was a little hungry. Next, Shen Xiangyan dug out a cup of porridge with chicken and fresh mushrooms, a dish of three shredded cold salad, and a dish of spicy and spicy lotus root slices. Shen Xiangyan put the food on the plate one by one, and went back to the Haitang courtyard satisfied. He entered the room lightly, and seeing that Xia Rong was still awake, he put the food plate in his hand on the table. Only then did he walk to the bed, Xia Rong slept a little hot because the ground dragon was still burning in the room, at this moment the quilt had already been rolled up in his arms, Shen Xiangyan sat on the side of the bed and nodded Xia Rong''s forehead, before he left, he deliberately covered him with the corner of the quilt, just because he was afraid that he would fall asleep and the quilt would not know where to go, but he didn''t expect this little **** to sleep like this again. Shen Xiangyan kissed Xia Rong''s lips punishingly, the soft and glutinous touch was better than the emerald cabbage dumplings on the table without comparison. Shen Xiangyan''s taste was wonderful, but Xia Rong''s was not so good. He was sleeping well, but suddenly he felt short of breath. He just wanted to open his mouth to breathe, but Shen Xiangyan got the chance again and barged in unscrupulously. This time, the shortness of breath turned into a total inability to breathe. This made Xia Rong sleep, she opened her eyes and found out that it was her husband, she slapped the man away, her face turned red with anger. When Shen Xiangyan saw that the little husband was about to blow his hair, he braked in time and smiled softly, "Rong''er get up and eat something before going to sleep, okay?" . Shen Xiangyan acted as if he didn''t notice it, just kidding, he was really going to blow his hair when he was teasing, he picked him up and walked to the table, "I wonder if Fu Lang would like to eat something for my face on the dish I personally brought from the kitchen, my husband?" Xia Rong saw the cabbage-shaped dumpling on the table at a glance, but she still pretended to be reluctant and said calmly, "Then eat some." Shen Xiangyan didn''t poke him, seeing him staring at the dumplings with sparkling eyes, knew that he wanted to eat, so he took one and handed it to his mouth. Xia Rong was not too polite, he just felt hungry now, so he bit the whole dumpling into his mouth with his husband''s chopsticks, it was stuffed with chicken and winter bamboo shoots, it was delicious. The entire dumpling was still too big for the mouth, and Shen Xiangyan saw Xia Rong''s cheeks were bulging, so he couldn''t help but pick one up and try it. Although the taste was not bad, no matter how he looked, he felt that the one in Xia Rong''s mouth was more delicious. It looks more delicious than the one in my own mouth. Shen Xiangyan lifted the lid of the porridge again, scooped out a bowl for Xia Rong, and said with a low laugh, "Eat slowly, and no one will compete with you. No matter how anxious your husband is, he must feed you first. " Xia Rong blushed even more, he almost forgot what he promised his husband before, so should he eat it now or not? Shen Xiangyan saw his entanglement, smiled slightly and said, "Don''t eat? Then it''s me now." Xia Rong hurriedly picked up the porridge bowl, and hurriedly said, "No, no, I''m not full yet." Shen Xiangyan couldn''t laugh or cry. After Xia Rong finally lingered to finish eating, Shen Xiangyan finally couldn''t help hugging her and went to bed, Xia Rong still wanted to escape, but Shen Xiangyan grabbed his belt and pulled him into his arms, "Where do you want to escape? Eh? Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯ll just take it easy, Mr. Xiang.¡± Seeing that she couldn''t escape, Xia Rong broke the jar and threw her stomach up as a last resort, "Then you have to be careful, Mr., or your son will kick you." Shen Xiangyan laughed loudly, "Okay, okay, sir, be careful." After speaking, he reached out and untied Xia Rong''s belt, covered it over Xia Rong''s eyes, and quickly tied it behind Xia Rong''s head. Xia Rong was slightly startled, her eyes went dark, she couldn''t see anything else, she wanted to reach out to touch it, but Shen Xiangyan held her back, "Hey, don''t be afraid, leave it to your husband, don''t be afraid." In the dark, Xia Rong became more sensitive, and felt that Xianggong''s fingers moved down from his lips, until his whole body was cold, but his face became hotter unconsciously. Shen Xiangyan chuckled, stopped Xia Rong''s waist, and helped him to sit on his body. During this time, he kept coaxing Xia Rong and said, "Good boy, this way the husband won''t overwhelm your stomach, right." "Good Rong Son, take a look yourself, huh?" Anyway, this night, in the darkness, Xia Rong would call Shen Xiangyan''s name from time to time, as if he would disappear if he didn''t pay attention. Fortunately, Shen Xiangyan still has a conscience. Although he didn''t have enough to eat, he still let Xia Rong off once. When he was lying on the bed with Xia Rong in his arms, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t help thinking that in the future, no matter what, he would have to deal with the loss. Only by intensifying these efforts can we get them back. Chapter 47: When Shen Xiangyan woke up, Xia Rong was sleeping soundly with half of his small face buried in his chest. Touching Xia Rong''s fleshy earlobe with his hand, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t help but raise the corner of his mouth into a beautiful arc, there were still traces of him from last night. Holding Xia Rong''s limp body in his arms, Shen Xiangyan greedily enjoyed the warmth of waking up in the morning. A quarter of an hour later, Shen Xiangyan didn''t intend to wake Xia Rong up, and skillfully took his own pillow and stuffed it into Xia Rong''s arms instead of himself. It was not the first time he did this skillfully. Maybe it was because his own breath was still left on the pillow, Xia Rong just rubbed the pillow and fell asleep again. Here I want to say that the pillows in their house are the ones he has been used to in his previous life. They are stuffed with mung beans, wild chrysanthemums and cassia seeds, and the pillowcases are made of high-quality cotton brocade. The pillows are just soft and firm, very comfortable. Moreover, this medicated pillow also has the functions of refreshing, detoxifying, and improving eyesight. When he first wore it, he couldn''t sleep well for several nights because of the pillow. Therefore, before Xia Rong got married, he couldn''t help but replace all the pillows at home with the ones he was used to. Shen Xiangyan was afraid of waking up the sleeping Xia Rong, so he didn''t ask anyone to wait on him, so he dressed himself and went to the kitchen to have a look. Although he thought about Xia Rong''s body last night and only ate half full, he really bullied people. He not only blindfolded Rong''er with the belt, but also coaxed him to sit up by himself, ahem, thinking about this early in the morning, the more he thought about it, the more he felt tired and flustered. His body was still young and vigorous, Shen Xiangyan touched his nose, and put aside the unsuitable images in his mind, he couldn''t continue to think about it. It''s better to honestly go to the kitchen and take a look around to see if there is anything to please. Otherwise, wait for Xia Rong to react to what happened last night, and then wait for Xia Rong to be in a hurry. When Shen Xiangyan came back with his things in hand, he saw Xia Rong sleeping like a kitten. The quilt that was originally well covered is now only left with one corner draped over the waist and abdomen, and the two slender legs are kicking around. One hand is holding the pillow that he stuffed him when he got up in the morning, and the other hand is stretched out. Far as if looking for something. Not only that, but the fluffy head was also hidden under the pillow. To Shen Xiangyan''s relief, it might be because of instinct, Xia Rong still knew how to protect her stomach so that it didn''t get crushed. Seeing his appearance, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t help laughing, rescued the little head buried under the pillow with his hands, and kissed Xia Rong''s sleeping red face. I don''t know how he slept like this, he was obviously quite normal before he left. Suddenly, I was a little regretful that there was no camera in this place, so I couldn''t take pictures for him, otherwise it would be interesting to show him when Xia Rong woke up. Xia Rongzheng was dreaming that she and Shen Xiangyan were in the village in the suburbs, and the husband took him to catch several big fish. Then he grilled fish for him with his own hands. It was good at first, but seeing that the fish was about to be ready, the smell went straight into his nose, and Xia Rong was hooked by the smell of grilled fish. Good fish for him. Seeing that Xia Rong wanted it, she teased him several times with the fish, and whenever he wanted to reach out to pick up the grilled fish, he took the fish away first. The angry Xia Rong stared blankly, the last time he was about to **** it from the husband, but he felt itchy on his face, and then he opened his eyes and saw exactly the same smile as the husband who bullied him in his sleep Face. Xia Rong hadn''t fully woke up from the dream yet, when she saw her husband smiling so ''evilly'', she remembered the husband in the dream who refused to give him fish, even though she knew that it was a dream and it couldn''t be real. But the more he thought about it, the more wronged he became, and he couldn''t help stretching out his hands to want Shen Xiangyan to hug him. The little husband begged for a hug as soon as he woke up, and Shen Xiangyan couldn''t disagree. It''s just that this picture, which seems to have been wronged by the sky, still scares him a little. Could it be that he is having a nightmare? Thinking of this, Shen Xiangyan quickly bent down, let Xia Rong wrap his arms around his neck, supported his buttocks with one hand, and protected his back with the other, and hugged him like a child. "What''s the matter, good Rong''er, did you have a nightmare? Don''t be afraid, don''t be afraid, my husband is here." Shen Xiangyan saw that Xia Rong just put his chin on his shoulder and didn''t speak for a long time, thinking that it was really a bad dream. Busily following the method of coaxing a child, he patted his back while coaxing him. What''s the matter with Xia Rong, Shen Xiangyan himself was the one who treated him badly in the dream, so he got angry after being coaxed like this. Xia Rong beat Shen Xiangyan''s back with her small fist and complained, "My husband is bad, he is necrotic." No matter how strong Xia Rong''s hand can be, hitting him with a fist is no different from scratching an itch. But Xia Rong''s words made Shen Xiangyan confused, but in his heart everything Xia Rong said was right, not to mention what Xia Rong said was what she was now pregnant. Didn''t it just mean that he was bad, Shen Xiangyan didn''t evade, and hurriedly nodded in response, "Yes, yes, I am the worst Mr. Rong, then Rong''er tell Mr. Xiang how bad he is." "Msister-in-law doesn''t even give me grilled fish, it''s obviously for Rong''er." Seeing Mr. Xiang asked, Xia Rong hurriedly recounted all the grievances she suffered in her dream, "Rong''er has to reach out to pick it up every time." Even if you refuse to give it to me, Xianggong will know how to bully Rong''er." After a long time, it turned out that he was bullying others in his dream. Shen Xiangyan held Xia Rong in his arms and sat down at the table, dumbfounded. He carefully apologized and said, "My husband is bad, gracious, how about my husband and you to make amends? Let''s first Just eat some fish porridge, and as for the grilled fish, Xianggong will grill it for you tonight, okay?" Fortunately, Mrs. Rong prepared fish porridge for Xia Rong in the morning, otherwise he wouldn''t know how to deal with it this morning. Xia Rong also knew that she was making trouble for no reason, so she didn''t continue to make trouble. But let him admit that it was his own nonsense now, but he can''t say it. So he kept his face on purpose, pretending to be reluctant, and said, "Okay, fish porridge is also fine, but I want my husband to feed it." "Okay, okay, my little ancestor is going to be someone else''s father soon, and he still needs to be a father-in-law." Although Shen Xiangyan said so, he still turned the person in his arms in the direction of his arms, letting him lean on his back. Sitting in his arms, he picked up the bowl on the table, blew it cool with a spoon, and started to feed. Xia Rong pouted and said very seriously, "It''s not because you dote on me too much. You will spoil me if you go on like this." It''s a dream that can''t be true, or I''m wronged. He himself also felt that he was spoiled. This kind of arrogance was something he would never have imagined two years ago. "That''s what I like too. If I don''t pet my husband, who will pet him? It''s good to spoil him so lawlessly. It''s good to spoil you so much that only my husband-in-law can bear it." Shen Xiangyan said with his mouth, and his hands didn''t stop. He took another spoonful of porridge and blew it to Xia Rong''s mouth. Seeing that Xia Rong''s eyes were red because of his two words, she hurriedly said with a smile, "Rong''er, don''t drop the golden beans, be careful that the golden beans will fall into the porridge bowl after a while, the baby in your stomach should laugh at you. " Dr. Li had told him before that pregnant people will inevitably have greater mood swings, so he didn''t think it was bad for Xia Rong to play a little temper, and what he said was the truth, he just wanted to pamper Xia Rong. Rong, I don''t want Xia Rong to suffer a little grievance, even if he gives it to me. The emotion just now dissipated immediately, Xia Rong swallowed the porridge in her mouth, and said in disbelief, "Who dropped the golden beans, I didn''t have them." Shen Xiangyan hugged the big baby in his arms happily, "Yes, Rong''er doesn''t have one." Xia Rong cheekily nodded in agreement, he didn''t have one in the first place. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Shen Xiangyan coaxed Xia Rong to finish his breakfast, and went to Xiangzilai to find Shen An. The investigation can be handed over to Chen Cai and Feng Qin, but Shen An still has to communicate with Shen An about the matters in his shop. If you want to trouble Xiangzi with him, there are only a few methods, but to deal with each method, you must first ensure that your own shop is solid and there will be no problems. Fortunately, he has long had the foresight, no matter whether it is the main shop in Furong Town or branch shops in various places. As long as the people in important positions are all bought by him, and the death contracts are all in his hands, the loyalty of this group of people is needless to say. As for the hired servants who are responsible for doing chores and entertaining, as long as they pay more attention, there will be no major problems. Shen Xiangyan and Shen An closed the door and discussed for a whole morning before deciding on everything that needed attention. As for Zhuyuexuan, Li''s family is not a vegetarian even if he wants to come, and he reminded him that it would be difficult for Li Dongsheng to suffer. Now he is not afraid that the opponent will not make a move, but he just waits for the opponent to make a move and grab a handle instead. When Shen Xiangyan came out from Xiangzi, he also heard a big news. It is said that the current Prince Rong has been ordered to go to various places to inspect. This Prince Rong is the younger brother of the newly enthroned emperor. This Prince Rong has a very good relationship, and this time the new emperor can successfully ascend the throne, this one also has meritorious service. Furong Town, as the intersection of various commercial roads in the north, has always been one of the places that every inspector must visit. If there is no accident this time, Prince Rong will also visit Furong Town. They just don''t know the specific time when the prince will arrive, and everyone wants to know whether Prince Rong is visiting privately or showing his identity. The common people were very interested in this kind of gossip about the royal family. Even if Shen Xiangyan didn''t inquire about it along the way, they heard about it. Shen Xiangyan just listened to the excitement, thinking that he could learn from Xia Rong when he went back, and never thought that someone like Prince Rong could be related to him. So when he entered the main house and saw Xia Rong was actually embroidering a purse for him, Shen Xiangyan immediately forgot all the news he had heard on the way. Chapter 48: Xia Rong found out a few days ago that Xianggong still wears the pouch he embroidered for him back then. The pouch has been worn out, and the corners are starting to turn white. You don''t need to think about it, because it was embroidered by yourself, so my husband cherishes it so much, even if it is old, he is not willing to change it. But ever since he was pregnant, Xianggong has been worried about him, almost wishing he could watch him all day long. He was not allowed to do this, and he was not allowed to do that. Once he just wanted to change the place for a vase. After he was discovered by his husband, the people who served him were also trained for a long time. Not only that, even the business matters were all delayed because of his pregnancy, or they waited for him to fall asleep before dealing with it, or dragged him so that he had to be in front of his eyes to handle the accounts with peace of mind . Xia Rong was also quite helpless about this, but he could see that the husband was really worried about him, so he didn''t say anything, and he was very cooperative, so he never found a chance to embroider a new purse. Today, it was hard to go to the shop while the husband was busy, Xia Rong hurriedly asked He Miao to bring his needle and thread, and he wanted to embroider a new purse for the husband. Who knew that he had only finished the drawing here, picked up the scissors and was about to cut it out, when the husband rushed in at the door and confiscated the things. Shen Xiangyan was furious, this careless little bastard, he dared to touch these things with his back foot as soon as he went out with his front foot. He has already explained that Zhengjun is pregnant, so don''t let him touch such sharp things, "Everyone in the room is blind, how can they serve Zhengjun, he can touch these troublesome things with his body now Is it?" He Miao and a few little maids who were serving in the room saw the master getting angry, and they all knelt down and did not dare to vent their anger. Although Shen Xiangyan got angry, he turned his head and spoke to Xia Rong in a gentle tone, "Let''s not do these chores for Rong''er, if there is something that must be done, it''s okay to tell them to do it." After finishing speaking, he was still not at ease. He picked up Xia Rong''s hand and looked at it for a long time, only to be relieved when he saw that he hadn''t been stabbed. He Miao was wronged to kneel on the ground. Whatever Zhengjun wants to do, these slaves can only obey orders. He also persuaded, but Zhengjun didn''t listen to him. Moreover, he packed up all the things like needles and threads, afraid that Zhengjun would think of them when he saw them. Who knows why Zhengjun suddenly thought of doing needlework after the young master left today, obviously Zhengjun didn''t like needlework very much before. Although Xia Rong felt that Xianggong had made a big deal out of trivial matters, he was only pregnant, and it''s not like he can''t take care of himself anymore, so it''s really nothing to do with sewing. But after getting along for so long, he knew that Shen Xiangyan actually only looked gentle and polite, but he was very domineering in his heart. If he begged for Miao and the others directly, Xianggong would not say anything in person, but he would definitely punish them behind the scenes, so he pretended not to see the kneeling people in the room and said coquettishly, "Rong''er just wants to embroider a purse for Xianggong." , the one on you, Mr. Xiang, is old, and you lose your temper when you come back, and you don¡¯t even know how to praise Rong¡¯er.¡± Shen Xiangyan''s tense face eased a lot after hearing this, and he looked at Xia Rong with tenderness in his eyes, "Praise you, praise you, Rong''er is so good. But the one on Xianggong''s body is very good, so there is no need to embroider any more." gone." Seeing that my husband was not so angry anymore, Xia Rong hurriedly climbed up the pole, "Didn''t my husband promise to give Rong''er a grilled fish tonight? I''ll ask He Miao to go to the kitchen and order it to be prepared in advance." Shen Xiangyan stretched out his hand and pinched Xia Rong''s little face, not knowing that he was pleading in disguise, and said helplessly, "You, I really can''t do anything about you." After speaking, he waved his hands following Xia Rong''s meaning, "That''s all , get up, hurry up and thank Zheng Jun for pleading for you." He Miao hurriedly led a few young maidservants to kowtow to the two of them, gratefully said, "My maidservant, thank Zhengjun for pleading, and thank young master for not punishing me." After Xia Rong let them all go down, she said to Shen Xiangyan with a flattering smile, "Sir, don''t blame them, what I want to do, they can''t do anything about me right now." After finishing speaking, she stretched out her hands to signal Shen Xiangyan Hugging him, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t resist, he hugged him up, "You, you are getting skinnier, it makes people feel uneasy if you go out for a while." He firmly believed in his heart that Xia Rong should not be out of his sight. At night, Xia Rong fulfilled her wish and ate the fish grilled by her husband himself. Shen Xiangyan had someone set up a fire in the backyard, and the fish was picked fresh by the kitchen and marinated in advance. Shen Xiangyan''s cooking was well controlled, the bones of the fish were crispy, and the surface was not scorched. Xia Rong ate two whole strips, and her belly was bulging. In the end, it was Shen Xiangyan who led the people for a walk around the yard several times, which made it better. Two days later, in the study, Chen Cai finished his ceremony and reported, "Young master, our people discovered that the servant next to Ye Zhen had had two private contacts with Liu Laosan from Zhendong. That Liu Laosan is a gambler. I owe a lot of money to the casino, but yesterday the people below went to the casino to inquire, and I don¡¯t know who paid back all the money owed to Liu Laosan.¡± Shen Xiangyan flipped through the book in his hand without looking up, and asked, "Lao San Liu? Who else is there in his family?" "There are only half-old twins left in his family. It is very unfortunate to meet this kind of father. Liu Laosan only knows how to block, and doesn''t care whether he lives or dies. On weekdays, he is supported by the neighbors around him." Chen Cai is really pretty. I don''t like people like Liu Laosan. The children in my family are starving to death, and they only know how to gamble all day long. Shen Xiangyan wrote a few words on the paper calmly and said, "Let people continue to follow, be careful not to startle the snake. And tell Shen An about it, he knows what to do." After finishing speaking, he continued to flip through his hands quickly Seeing that Chen Cai still didn''t go down, he raised his head and asked, "Why, is there anything else?" Chen Cai hesitated whether to report this matter. I said that it is very likely that I will bear the young master''s remaining anger, but I can''t do it if I don''t say it. The young master has ordered before that no matter how big or small the matter is, you have to report to him, "Young master, the person sent to Chunfeng Tower is from the person who served Miss Ruyue." If you hear some news, don''t get angry." After speaking, he raised his head carefully and glanced at Shen Xiangyan. Shen Xiangyan laughed angrily at his appearance, threw the book in his hand on Chen Cai, and said angrily, "Okay, tell me what''s up." Chen Cai didn''t care if he got smashed, and said calmly, "The person who was sent happened to be from the same town as Xiaodie, who served Miss Ruyue. She redeemed herself. But Miss Ruyue already knew what kind of person Ye Zhen was, so she didn''t like him at all. Later, Ye Zhen annoyed Miss Ruyue, and Miss Ruyue said that if Ye Zhen could set up the backyard like Xiang Zilai''s Boss Shen, Everyone disbanded, and as long as she was alone in the future, she nodded and agreed to enter the gate of Ye''s house. Listening to Xiaodie, when Ye Zhen heard this, her expression was so dark that I couldn''t see it." Chen Cai said this in one breath. He came out and ran away after speaking, as if he was afraid that the young master would really take out his anger on him. Shen Xiangyan was also taken aback when he heard this, he was a little bit puzzled before why Ye Zhen had followed him, it turned out that it was because of this, it was really a disaster for no reason. Shen Xiangyan got up and took another book from the bookshelf, went back to his seat and looked through it, alas, it''s a problem that this person is too good, he''s enviable. He should continue to think about the name of the little guy in Xia Rong''s stomach while Fu Lang was taking a nap. Shen Xiangyan looked at the paper on the table, several names had already been drawn on it. But he was not satisfied with any of them. Fortunately, there were still some days before the child was born, so he didn''t have to worry too much, but Chen Cai was really a kid, and he could still eat people. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Leaving aside the Shen family, since Xia Tian married into the Zhang family, she hasn''t had a comfortable day. Zhang Ningyu''s inhuman thing, except for spending the night in her room when they got married, has never entered her room. Either resting with this aunt, or resting with that little waiter, none of these **** is simple. Especially that Mu Rou, in front of Zhang Ningyu, she is as pitiful as a little white flower, but in front of her, she has another face, but she is just a favored concubine, and I don''t know who gave her the courage. Speaking of this, Mu Rou was the one Shen Xiangyan and Xia Rong had met on the street to sell her body to bury her father. Since she entered Zhang''s house, she had won Zhang Ningyu''s favor with her face, and she often gave Xia Xia some comfort. Fortunately, Mrs. Xia was worried about her later, so she sent Aunt Yu, who was beside her, to Xia Tian. Although Xia Tian had suffered some grievances in the Zhang family, she never fell into a big tumble. Living in Zhang''s house in summer was uncomfortable, so she often went back to her mother''s house for a short stay on the pretext of taking care of Mrs. Xia''s illness. For some reason, Mrs. Xia has not been in good health since she suffered a serious illness before. Even the last orchid feast was not attended due to physical reasons. Master Xia is now fully focused on his little concubine Aunt Su, who is pregnant with a child. He has always hoped that there will be a boy in that belly, so that he can continue the incense of his old Xia family. Even for Mrs. Xia''s serious illness, Master Xia only visited her a few times at the beginning, and then told her to take good care of her illness, and never came to Mrs. Xia''s yard again. Xia Tian managed to catch Aunt Su''s fault today, the new clothes made for her were not at all the high-quality silk and satin she always used, and now she is looking for trouble for Aunt Su. Mrs. Xia is now ill and unable to take care of the family. Aunt Su is taking care of all the big and small things in the summer house. Xia Tian has been dissatisfied for a long time. "Don''t think that if you have a seed in your belly, you can be more expensive than a mother. It doesn''t mean that you are a boy. Besides, I am still the eldest lady of the Xia family. You don''t even look at your identity, and you dare to skimp on it." My cost." Aunt Su cursed in her heart, she is already married and still runs to her mother''s house all day, what kind of young lady is this, but she explained with a smile, "Oh, you don''t know, young lady, since you got married, The business of the silk and satin shop at home is not as good as it was before, and I am also thinking about the family. Even for me, the expenses of the family have been reduced appropriately, and I hope that the eldest lady can understand that it is not easy for me to be a housekeeper while pregnant." Chapter 49: Aunt Su''s words sound nice, but Xia Tian just feels uncomfortable. Is this clearly pointing out in front of her that the Xia family is now her housekeeper? Doesn''t the meaning behind the words mean that she is no longer from the Xia family? If she is an outsider, then Aunt Su is nothing but a servant who dares to show off in front of her. "Auntie, you dare to deduct my expenses, why don''t you dare to deduct my father''s? Don''t you have any money at home? I didn''t take any of the dowry money that the Zhang family gave me. You tell me now and I want to understand. you." Aunt Su covered the dark light in her eyes with a veil, pretending to be weeping, she looked like she was about to cry because of embarrassment, "Miss, what you said is wrong. But those masters were all used to fill the shortfall of the silk and satin factory, and I didn¡¯t see any of them in the house. Not to mention this, when the young lady got married, the old lady loved the young lady, and there were a lot of dowries in the family. Those dowries Which one is not carefully selected, precious and unusual. Calculated in this way, how can this family stand up to such extravagance. " Xia Tian was so hurt by Aunt Su''s rhetoric, "I don''t talk to you here for nothing, you and I go to my father and let my father comment on this truth for us." Xia Tian was in the Zhang family I was disgusted by Mu Rou, and now I am annoyed by this kind of little tricks, and Aunt Su is still playing with her. Therefore, Xia Tian didn''t want to spend too much time talking with her, so she got up and dragged Aunt Su to see Master Xia. "Slow down, Missy, ah!" Xia Tian took Aunt Su and didn''t take two steps, then she heard a cry from the back, looked back, and saw Aunt Su had fallen to the ground, curled up there with her hands covering her stomach. There was still pain in the mouth, "Ah, my stomach, my stomach hurts so much, come, my stomach." Before the two talked, the servants hid outside the house to serve. Immediately, they heard something wrong in the room, so they rushed into the room to check. The first few servants who came in saw Aunt Su''s situation, and they were all terrified. It was Aunt Su''s personal maid who squeezed in from behind and shouted loudly, "Auntie fell, go and call the doctor, and send someone to call the doctor." It was only then that everyone came to their senses, no one knew that Aunt Su''s belly was the master''s eyeballs. If something goes wrong in front of their eyes, all of them will have to be punished. After figuring out the joints, everyone will act separately, helping people, helping people, asking for a doctor, and going to the front yard to find Master Xia They looked for Master Xia, and all of them started to move neatly. Xia Xia was the only one standing there alone, she obviously didn''t use much strength just now, when she turned around, Aunt Su fell there by herself. Yes, Aunt Su must have done it on purpose, trying to frame her on purpose. Thinking of this, Xia Tian immediately pointed at Aunt Su who was being supported by everyone and scolded, "You little bitch, you must have done it on purpose. Don''t try to rely on me." The servants around Aunt Su heard what the eldest lady said, and all of them looked at Xia Xia with really such expressions, and turned to look at Aunt Su with a little more pity in their eyes. God, if you are pushed down by this evil god, you can only accept your fate and suffer from this dull loss. Of course, no one would suspect that Xia Tian did not do this. Who made Xia Tian always give others the impression that she is an arrogant and domineering young lady who dares to do anything. What''s more, when Xia Xia came to look for Aunt Su before, everyone saw the aggressiveness, and what Xia Tian said just now, it means that she wants to evade responsibility. Xia Xia saw that everyone didn''t believe her, and when she wanted to distinguish a few words, she heard an angry shout from the door, "Xia Tian, ??look at the good deeds you have done, hurry back to your yard." After cursing this sentence, see Aunt Su, who was lying on the couch, changed her expression of pity again and said, "Oh, my darling, don''t get up, lie down. Doctor, is the doctor here? My darling, your belly Don''t let anything happen." The person who came was Master Xia, and the person who went to find Master Xia was someone close to Aunt Su, who had already learned what happened just now with added fuel and vinegar along the way. It just so happened that when Master Xia walked to the door, he heard Xia Xia shirk his responsibility, and the arrogance of not admitting his mistake was even more furious. Master Xia saw Aunt Su''s face was pale, she was sweating profusely, and the hem of her clothes was still red, his heart skipped a beat, but he kept muttering, not knowing whether to comfort Aunt Su or himself, "It''s okay, the doctor will be here soon." Come here, it will be fine.¡± When Mr. Xia couldn''t help but get angry, the doctor finally arrived under the drag of two servants. Seeing the doctor coming, Xia Xia said with a contemptuous smile, "Doctor, you are here, why don''t you let my aunt take a good look at it?" , Didn¡¯t it just fall, can something happen so easily?¡± Master Xia frowned when he heard this, a little unhappy, but he didn''t say anything to refute. Although what his daughter said was ugly, he also hoped that Aunt Su would be fine. It''s a pity that this matter can''t go as they wished. Aunt Su lay weakly on the bed, looking at the faces of the father and daughter of the Xia family, it was extremely funny. After marrying such a wife, Master Xia still wanted to have a queen. It''s a joke. I hate her two children. She was pregnant with a child when she first entered the house. The child was about to take shape in her stomach, but it ended up being so ridiculous. It''s a pity that she doesn''t have evidence in her hand, so she can''t prove that Mrs. Xia did it. Heh, her health hasn''t been very good since then. Even the baby she conceived with great difficulty, the doctor said after seeing it, the fetal position was unstable. , very likely miscarriage. That being the case, why not take Miss Xia to be a companion together. After the doctor took Aunt Su''s pulse, a thin layer of sweat broke out immediately on his head. Seeing this, Master Xia asked anxiously, "How is it? Is the child okay?" The doctor touched the sweat on his forehead and said with a wry smile, " Alas, please take care of your health, this lady, there will be another child in the future. Miscarriage hurts you the most, I will prescribe a prescription later, and you can eat a few times." Aunt Su burst into tears at the right time, "My child, child, how is it possible, master, master, you have to decide for me. Our son is just gone." "How is it possible, it''s impossible for her, she fell by herself, how could the child just disappear." Xia Tian''s expression was unbelievable, this was a trap, how could the child really disappear. When Mr. Xia heard that the child was lost, he didn''t care about anything at the moment. Seeing that Xia Tian still had an appearance of not pleading guilty, he really hated him. That''s his old man. It''s impossible, you said you ran to your mother''s house twice in three days, I won''t say it, and now your aunt''s children are gone, and you dare to die here without pleading guilty, it''s against you, what about my Xia family? That''s what you did." "Father, no, I obviously didn''t touch her, it was her, she must have framed me." Xia Tian only felt that she was wronged, she was clearly wronged, and her father still didn''t believe her. How could Mr. Xia believe her? No one would really sacrifice the child in his womb just to frame someone. "Come here, take the young lady back to Zhang''s house. Since you refuse to admit your mistake, don''t even think about coming back. When did you admit your mistake and when did you enter Xia''s house?" "Father!" Xia Tian had an unbelievable expression on her face, but before she could react, four extremely strong nuns came in and pressed Xia Tian three or two times, and took him out. Only Mr. Xia in the room was still sad, and Aunt Su was lying on the bed with a dark feeling in her heart. Sooner or later, the Xia family would be in her hands. She lost the support of her mother''s family, and was simple-minded and unloved by her husband''s family. His daughter-in-law will still suffer from Xia Tian in the future. As for Mrs. Xia, since she is sick, she will get rid of it once she gets sick. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The two masters of the Shen family didn''t know about such a farce in the Xia family. Shen Xiangyan was holding the book in his hand and giving prenatal education to the little guy in Xia Rong''s stomach. In his previous life, he heard people say that the basic organs of a child who is more than four months old and almost five months old have fully developed and can respond to external sounds, so he decided to give the little guy two quarters of an hour a day starting today. Reading books can be regarded as training in advance. Xia Rong was chewing sweet and sour dried plums while listening to Xianggong''s reading. It''s really interesting that Xianggong rubs his stomach with one hand and still looks serious on his face. Shen Xiangyan saw Xia Rong staring straight at him, and the hand on his belly became disheveled, touching it back and forth, making Xia Rong giggle non-stop. Suddenly both of them were taken aback, Shen Xiangyan looked at Xia Rong in disbelief, then asked in a stuttering manner, "Rong''er, did he kick me just now?" Xia Rong also had a look of surprise on his face. This was the first time he felt the little guy in his belly move. After realizing it, he said excitedly, "Master, Sir, he was really moving just now." The two new fathers were extremely excited about this discovery, and they were looking forward to the little guy''s next move. It''s a pity that the two of them waited for a long time guarding their stomachs, but they didn''t see the little guy move again. Shen Xiangyan kissed the tip of Xia Rong''s nose, then embraced his small body, and boasted, "Look, prenatal education is still necessary, no, the little one moved for the first time, which shows that our child is very smart." Ah, as expected of keeping our blood." Xia Rong bit Xianggong''s chest lightly through the material of the clothes, "Don''t talk nonsense, don''t teach him bad." After Yu Bi touched his slightly swollen belly, he complained in his heart that Xianggong was getting better and better. Hun said, really shameless. Shen Xiangyan laughed a few times and didn''t refute, but he was planning in his heart that he would have to invite Dr. Li to come and see her in two days, and the pregnancy test was still necessary. There is also a delivery room that needs to be set up in advance, and Mrs. Wen has to find two good ones in advance. I heard people here say that giving birth to twins is more dangerous than women. With such backward conditions, caesarean section is not possible, and Rong''er can only give birth on her own. I just hope that there will be no troubles when the time comes. Chapter 50: Shen An''s left eyelid kept twitching, and his intuition told him that something was going to happen. Right now, he is taking a few guys to check the goods in the warehouse. After the next year, he has a few more orders from Jiangnan. The buyers have already paid the deposit, and the delivery will be delivered in a few days. Therefore, the shop has been very busy recently. As if to fulfill Shen An''s premonition, yes, just after ordering this batch of fragrant cakes, someone outside the door shouted, "It''s not good, it''s not good, shopkeeper, go and have a look." Shen An''s heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained calm. Seeing the panicked look on the guy''s face, he couldn''t help but teach, "Why panic? There''s nothing to be afraid of if there''s a tall person to deal with big things. Tell me, what''s going on outside?" Maybe it was Shen An''s calmness that made the guy less flustered. Seeing Shen An asking, he hurriedly talked about the outside affairs, "Boss, someone blocked the door of our shop, and the customers dared not come in. That person even slandered the perfume in our shop as poisonous, saying that their Shuang''er is made of We can''t afford to be poisoned by our perfume." After Shen An heard this, he knew that it was time to come, so he put all his energy into preparing for this matter, "Follow me to the front." After taking two steps, he stopped as if thinking of something again, Instructed a clerk, "Go to Shen''s house quickly, and send a message to the young master, saying that something happened in the shop, and ask the young master to come quickly." Alright, after such an explanation, Shen An then continued to lead the people to the front at a fast pace. A few people came to the front in a hurry, and saw a middle-aged man with mischievous eyebrows cursing and blocking the door of the shop. There was a motionless little boy lying on the wooden board at his feet. Shen An took a closer look at the little boy. Around the age of 2, judging from the clothes and hair accessories, he should be a good couple. When Shen An walked in, he heard the middle-aged man yell excitedly, "Come and judge, is there any law, what kind of black-hearted businessman dares to sell such poisonous things, my poor child. " People passing by all around quickly gathered together, pointing towards the man and Xiangzilai''s shop one after another. Shen An saw that the middle-aged man was getting more and more outrageous, so he hurriedly stepped forward with a good temper but not humble, "Don''t get excited, brother, what''s the matter, let''s go in and discuss it? No matter what you have, you can talk about it. Also, the young master''s condition seems to be not very good, no matter what, it''s better to find a doctor for this young master to have a look." Speaking of this, Shen An frowned, looked at the buddy who had just come to look for him, and said, "Hurry up and invite a doctor to show this young master." When the man saw the person in charge of the shop come out, he opened his mouth not to tell him how to calm down, but to ask the doctor first, his expression panicked for a moment. But thinking that the money-losing product in his family was really poisoned, even if the doctor came, it would be nothing to be afraid of. Thinking of this, he became more courageous, so he knelt down and hugged the child on the ground and cried, "What are you so worried about? , my son, they still want someone to harm you, so father must ask you for an explanation today." Seeing the posture, the onlookers also began to point and point, after all, it is not a big deal to see things. This fragrance is now not only famous in Furong Town, but most of Fengyu Country has heard of the perfume here. Now that there is such a big gossip all of a sudden, it doesn''t matter whether he is really poisonous or not, if there is excitement, why don''t you watch it? When the two sides were at a stalemate, a young man with a gentle and elegant demeanor wearing a dark blue brocade robe and an indigo silver belt with a mohair pattern squeezed out from the crowd, "Since this brother insists that he is from the fragrance The thing poisoned the young master, can you provide evidence. If it is really a fragrant thing that caused the young master to suffer such a serious crime, Shen will definitely give you an explanation." Someone in the crowd recognized Shen Xiangyan with sharp eyes, exclaimed, couldn''t help pointing at the person, and whispered to the people around him, and soon gathered around, everyone who gathered knew that this was Xiangzilai''s boss, Shen Boss now. Shen Xiangyan glanced at everyone, and said that his face was no longer as gentle and polite as before, "But if it is found out that this matter has nothing to do with me, Xiang Zilai, then Shen is not easy to bully, and he must seek justice." The middle-aged man was taken aback by Shen Xiangyan''s sudden change of demeanor, but he thought that if this matter was accomplished, the other half of the money that Young Master Ye had promised him would be available. Who are you afraid of? Incessantly, the man took out a white-glazed porcelain bottle from his arms and said, "Boss Shen, don''t bully us little people with no power. I passed by your shop a few days ago and thought of the children at home. I have been thinking about wanting a bottle of fragrant perfume before, so I took out my savings for a long time and bought such a bottle of perfume. It was a gift for my child, who ever thought, who ever thought but It hurt my son." This passage was spoken with a lot of emotion, and many people around were moved by this man''s behavior of caring for their children, and looked at Shen Xiangyan with unkind eyes. Shen Xiangyan didn''t argue anything, just took the white porcelain bottle from the middle-aged man''s hand and looked at it, then smashed the white porcelain bottle to the ground. The people around were all exclaiming incessantly, some were puzzled, some were suspicious, and what''s more, they looked at Shen Xiangyan as if he was some kind of bad guy who did all kinds of evil. Also, most people thought, how can this evidence be said to be broken? Just fell, it was so difficult that there was something wrong with Xiang Zilai, and Boss Shen couldn''t escape responsibility if he wanted to. "You, you, this porcelain vase is evidence. How dare you act so arrogantly with so many people..." The middle-aged man didn''t expect that Shen Xiangyan would smash the porcelain vase, and when he wanted to say something, Shen Xiangyan stopped him. "Everyone, everyone, please be quiet. Shen also wants to understand. Please listen to my explanation." He picked up the fragments of the white porcelain bottle from the ground, pointed to a place inside the fragments and turned to everyone, "This person took out this The so-called perfume bought from Xiangzilai is not from Xiangzilai, everyone, please see that the inside of this white porcelain bottle is the same as the outside, it is all white porcelain, without any trace." After clapping his hands, Shen An had already Prepare another fragrant perfume bottle and hand it to Shen Xiangyan. "All the finished products sold by my Xiangzilai will have my Shen family''s unique business emblem on the package. If you don''t believe me, please take a look." As he said that, he smashed the porcelain bottle in his hand to the ground, and as the porcelain bottle shattered, There is also a faint scent of orchids around, the smell is quiet and unique, making the people around them breathless, as the scent spreads, many people smell many different floral scents from the orchid scent in a short while, to say the least What''s more, the change of taste is so natural, it''s simply refreshing. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t help but upturned the corners of his mouth, daring to frame them as a sweetheart, and didn''t look at him without pissing. Waiting for him to make this slander into a disguised advertisement for Xiangzilai, the people behind the scenes will still be mad at him, "Everyone, please take a look." Shen Xiangyan showed everyone the two pieces of broken porcelain in his hand, both were in the same position of the porcelain vase, and one was printed with a cyan orchid pattern. One is a small heavy word, and the other is a fragment of a porcelain vase in the hands of a middle-aged man. There is nothing on it, and a discerning eye can tell the difference between the two. Shen Xiangyan saw that the discussion in the crowd had turned in his favor, and saw that Feng Qin had arrived with Dr. Li, so he smiled gently and said, "Since this evidence is innumerable, it is already too much to slander Shen." Most of it was cleaned up, but the most urgent thing is to ask the doctor to show this young man first, so as not to be really poisoned." Dr. Li is not young anymore, he was dragged by Feng Qin all the way, panting for several breaths, pointed at Shen Xiangyan''s nose and said, "You son of a bitch, you want to kill me, old man." Shen Xiangyan quickly apologized and said "I dare not", and it just so happened that Shen Xiangyan had invited Dr. Li to Xia Rong''s home for a check-up these few days. When something like this happened, Shen Xiangyan could only ask Dr. Li to help. At this time, the assistant sent by Shen An to invite the doctor also came with someone, and the doctor saw that it was Doctor Li here, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted. It turns out that the doctors in this town have always regarded Dr. Li as their teacher because Dr. Li once taught him. Seeing that Dr. Li was also present today, there is no room for him to speak, so he hurriedly followed Dr. Li to fight. Dr. Li stepped forward to give the young master his pulse, and said in a short while, "Zhiyinghua is poisoned, it''s okay, just take a detoxification pill." A pill was poured out of a small porcelain bottle and fed to the child. Speaking of which, Dr. Li''s medical skills are really good. The little boy woke up shortly after taking the pill. The little boy may have been frightened by so many people around him, and he hasn''t realized what happened to him for a long time. . Shen Xiangyan tried his best to look harmless and asked, "Young master, you know how you got poisoned." When the child heard the word poisoning, his pupils shrank, obviously terrified. When the middle-aged man saw the child woke up, he panicked for a while, but when he thought of this matter, he stared at the child extremely fiercely, full of warning. The child''s name is Liu Ran. Seeing his father looking at him like this, remembering that he was the father who forced him to take the poisonous pill before he fell into a coma, Liu Ran was really ashamed and wished he could never see him again. to his father. At this time, the crowd didn''t know who it was, and suddenly shouted, "Who should it be? Isn''t this Liu Laosan from the east of the city? I haven''t seen you taking care of Liu Ran on weekdays. Why did you suddenly think of buying perfume for him this time?" Now, with that money, why don¡¯t you want to gamble, who are you cheating on?¡± Chapter 51: This sentence was like thunder, and the crowd became commotion again. Liu Laosan didn''t expect someone to be able to point out who he was, so he panicked at the moment, but thinking that if this matter fails, Mr. Ye will definitely not let him go, and thinking of this makes cold sweat break out all over his body. Looking at Liu Ran who just woke up on the ground, this loser won''t be able to wake up when he has to wake up at this time, if this is the end of his father and my big business, let''s see if he goes back and kills this little bastard. Liu Ran keenly noticed that his father was looking at him with fierce eyes, and he didn''t even notice that his fingers were clenched tightly, and his nails were sunk into his flesh. He closed his eyes, at this time, because of his mother''s early death and his father''s unkindness, he had suffered a lot since he was a child, and finally made a decision that he never regretted when he thought about it many years later. Liu Ran exhausted all his strength, grabbed the hem of Shen Xiangyan''s robe, and said weakly, "It''s him, it''s my father who fed it to me. He said that as long as I cooperate obediently, he will kindly split me up when he gets the money." Some, I refused, so he forced the medicine into my mouth." He started to cry softly. When Liu Laosan heard the little brat say that, he really wanted to strangle him to death. However, as soon as he was about to go forward, he was held down by Xiangzilai''s buddy. Liu Laosan tried his best not to break free, and cursed angrily, "You lose money, don''t wrong you and me, I didn''t let you go!" What are you eating? It¡¯s obviously the fragrant perfume that hurts you.¡± Liu Ran was reluctant to say these words just now, but now Liu Laosan suddenly made an attack, Liu Ran was trembling with fright, but thinking of what he might face if he woke up from a coma again, he didn''t care about anything at the moment, sobbing and saying "Boss Shen, please, please save me. Don''t hand me over to my father. If I say such a thing, my father will definitely kill me. He only knows how to gamble on weekdays, and he refuses to spend half of it." On me, how could it be possible to suddenly spend money on such an expensive perfume for me." Although Liu Ran''s voice was extremely weak because of his frail body, everyone who surrounded him heard it. The eyes that looked at Liu Laosan seemed to say that this person was no better than a beast, even his own The children are not spared and so on. At this time, what they cared about was no longer whether Xiangzilai''s perfume was poisonous, it was not clear that Liu Laosan framed Xiangzilai. What they care about now is whether these wicked people can be taught a lesson. Shen Xiangyan looked at the child who was dragging his clothes on the ground, he was extremely thin, and because of the poison, his complexion was also very bad. Although he doesn''t like people other than Rong''er to approach, but the situation is special at this time, so it''s another matter. Shen Xiangyan knelt down and patted the child''s head, "Don''t worry, I won''t hand you over to your father." After Liu Ran got the guarantee, his body couldn''t hold on anymore and his eyes darkened, so he collapsed. Shen Xiangyan didn''t expect the child''s health to be so poor. Dr. Li stepped forward to feel the pulse, and sighed, "It''s okay, Du Gangjie''s body is just a little weak, but this child''s foundation is really bad. Wait until you wake up." It¡¯s better to make up for it more.¡± Only then did Shen Xiangyan feel relieved, and he got up and bowed to everyone around him, "Shen believes that he is right in the world, and he is right in every customer of Xiangzilai, poisonous perfume is definitely not something I Xiangzilai can do. Today''s incident must be someone who wants to slander behind the scenes. Shen is not talented, and it is my responsibility. I will definitely not escape. But today''s incident, everyone has seen it, and Shen will not get justice. This tone." Having said this, Shen Xiangyan bowed to the crowd again, "I wonder if you can follow Mrs. Shen and be witnesses of today''s events, and follow me to the government office." All the people who were filled with righteous indignation just now, now you are looking at me, and I am looking at you. It''s not that they are indifferent, but that this kind of matter involving the government, the common people really dare not meddle casually, who knows if there is any other conspiracy behind it. When the atmosphere was freezing, a deep male voice said in the crowd, "Such people who slander others and frame their parents and children can''t do it unless they are sent to the government. Brother Shen, I will accompany you on the journey." I saw an imposing man in a dark robe walking out of the crowd under the cover of four guards. When Shen Xiangyan saw the person coming, he was very pleasantly surprised, and hurried forward two steps, "Brother Murong, what a coincidence, I thought we would never meet again that day. It''s great to meet again." Brother Murong had a very good impression, today he had to meet an old friend, and the depression caused by this trouble caused by Ye Zhen also decreased a lot. Seeing Shen Xiangyan walking towards his master, the four guards all became alert, fearing that the other party would harm his master, Murong Cheng raised his hand to signal, "It''s okay." These four people restrained their momentum, and stood respectfully around Murong Cheng. Shen Xiangyan had seen all of this, from the last time they got along, Shen Xiangyan knew that Murong Cheng''s status was not simple, he was either rich or noble, but he made friends based on his eyesight, not on the other''s status, so he just pretended not to know. "Brother Shen, it''s not a coincidence. I came to see you specially this time. I left without saying goodbye that day. Although I had a reason to go first, I still feel a little ashamed of my kindness to Brother Shen." He continued, "I didn''t expect that I haven''t seen you in just a year. Brother Shen, your business is doing so well. The perfume from Xiangzilai is going to cost sky-high prices in the capital." Shen Xiangyan rubbed his nose, he had indeed heard about this, but due to his limited manpower, there were quite a few branches opened. And most of them are near the north, where the supply is in short supply, let alone the capital. Even if he has the heart, he doesn''t have the strength for the time being. "Brother Murong, don''t laugh at me. When the business gets bigger, there will be more people looking for trouble. You may see someone come up to make trouble today. Come on, money can never be earned in a lifetime. Take it step by step. Wait for me to send it to you." This person is going to the government, let''s go back to my house for a reunion." "Okay, I''ll be a witness for you today. How can such unruly people not be sent to the government." Seeing that Shen Xiangyan really wanted to send him to the government, and someone else would do it for them, most of the onlookers said goodbye. I want to follow along to see the excitement. What''s more, Liu Laosan really deserved what he deserved. At present, a large group of people are going all the way to the government office, coming in a menacing way, and many people on the way don''t know why. After asking someone to ask, I found out about the big scene that just happened in front of Xiangzilai''s shop, so many idlers followed the crowd and wanted to go to see the excitement together. When this group of people gathered at the gate of the government office, the two servants at the gate were standing and dozing off. When they heard the movement, they opened their goggles and were startled. One of them quickly ran in to inform the county magistrate. Ye Zhixian heard that there was a group of people gathered outside the door, so he didn''t pay much attention. He yawned and straightened his official hat before going to court. The gavel slapped, and the two yamen servants shouted "mighty", "Who is kneeling?" ? What are you telling me?" Liu Laosan, who was pushed in by Xiang Zilai''s buddy, saw the posture of the courtroom, and was blinded at the time, and knelt down with a plop. Seeing this, Shen Xiangyan was about to lift up the hem of his clothes and kneel down, when Murong Cheng stretched out his hand to block it, Murong Cheng motioned to the guards around him, and the guards took orders to show their waist badges. Ye Zhixian was still sleepy just now, when he saw the waist card that the guard was holding, he was startled, there was no reason to be drowsy, he hurriedly got up, came out and knelt down towards Murong Cheng, "Xiaguan, Xiaguan Ye Taian has seen Prince Rong, I don''t know that His Majesty is here, and I have not been able to greet him from far away, but I still hope that His Majesty will forgive me." The surrounding yamen servants all gasped when they heard the magistrate knelt down and called the man in black clothes Prince Rong. They all knelt down and shouted three times, "My lord, my lord is a thousand years old." Murong Cheng knew Ye Tai''an''s sloppy behavior before he was promoted to the imperial court. It was also mentioned in the imperial newspaper that the magistrate of Ye County was a Jinshi in the second year of Tianjing. , Now it seems that we have to wait and see. During his visits this time, he specially came to see Shen Xiangyan and read out an imperial edict. If it hadn''t been for Shen Xiangyan''s rescue, his life would have been lost, and the confidential letter he carried would not have reached Brother Huang. At that time, they were under attack from both sides. Without the contents of this secret letter, it would be hard to say whether the emperor''s brother would be able to ascend the throne smoothly. The queen mother taught the two brothers since they were young that even though they were born in the palace, a place where people can''t spit out their bones, they should know how to repay their kindness, so he asked for a decree to come to Shen Xiangyan. The second is to visit officials from all over the country on behalf of the emperor''s brother, to see if there are any corrupt and bribe-taking people who have committed crimes. Seeing Ye Zhixian kneeling on the ground trembling, Murong Cheng squinted his eyes, and finally said, "Get up." When Ye Zhixian heard that the prince gave up, he stood up with a big sigh of relief. When he was thinking hard about how to try this case, he heard Murong Cheng say, "Please, Ye Zhixian, Xiao Wang just came to see it, and he definitely won''t." Disturb Yezhi County''s trial." Ye Zhixian complained even more in his heart now, and asked the yamen servant to bring a chair for the prince, and then he had to bear the huge pressure to start the trial, "The one who kneels below is called a kind person." Knowing Murong Cheng''s identity suddenly, Shen Xiangyan was also a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it was reasonable. Murong Cheng''s aura of nobility is not something that ordinary people can raise. Since someone backed him up so that he didn''t have to kneel, Shen Xiangyan felt at ease, cupped his hands and said, "Shen Xiangyan, the boss of Xiangzilai, is suing this Liu Laosan for slandering that my perfume from Xiangzilai is poisonous, and Shen I don''t know, I think that Liu Laosan must be instructed by someone behind him, and I hope the county magistrate will investigate clearly." "Boldly, Shen Xiangyan, why didn''t you kneel when you saw me and the lord?" Prince Rong was here, and Ye Zhixian knew that if he wanted to restore the bad impression that the lord had on him just now, he had to strictly examine the case, and finally found a mistake in Shen Xiangyan. Naturally, he will not let go. It''s not Ye Tai''an''s fault, just now when Murong Cheng supported Shen Xiangyan, Ye Zhixian was still sleepy, and he didn''t know that Murong Cheng and Shen Xiangyan had known each other for a long time, so he flattered him. Chapter 52: Murong Cheng frowned in displeasure at Ye Zhi County''s incompetence, raised his hand to stop Shen Xiangyan from kneeling, and said, "Brother Yan has a title, so he can''t be exempted from kneeling in the courtroom." Not to mention that Ye Zhixian didn''t understand, he had been the magistrate of Furong Town for more than ten years and he didn''t know that there was a person with a title here, even Shen Xiangyan himself didn''t know about it. Seeing that everyone in the hall was looking in his direction, Murong Cheng coughed twice, stood up and straightened his clothes, and after gesturing to the guards around him, he said calmly, "President Shen accepts the order." Everyone saw that one of the four guards, who seemed to be the leader, took out a roll of bright yellow imperial decree from his body and handed it to Prince Rong. After Shen Xiangyan was stunned for a moment, he also realized that he didn''t dare to be negligent. He lifted up his clothes and knelt down. The people in the hall and the people watching the excitement around the gate of the government office didn''t dare to be disrespectful after seeing Prince Rong holding the imperial decree and looking at each other. Followed Kneel together and listen to the decree. The content of the imperial decree was very formal, but Shen Xiangyan could only hear the general meaning that it was to thank him for saving Prince Rong from danger, and for the great kindness he had done to the royal family, he was specially conferred the title of Marquis of Ankang, and he was enshrined in the city of 700 people, etc. "Why, Master Hou still doesn''t accept the edict to thank you?" Murong Cheng saw that Shen Xiangyan still didn''t know how to thank him after hearing the imperial edict, so he laughed and joked a few words. The emperor originally only wanted to confer a title, not food. But there is a huge difference in the position of Hou Shiyi. Otherwise, the Marquis title is nothing more than a name, and only by truly enjoying the title of Shiyi can the royal family''s approval of Shen Xiangyan be shown. Therefore, he specially asked his mother, and the emperor agreed to make the decree. Shen Xiangyan''s current thinking is that the sky is falling, not only that, but somehow it hit him on the head. Not to mention the horror in his heart, Shen Xiangyan hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Ye Zhixian knelt on the ground to listen to the content of Prince Rong''s imperial decree, and his chest felt oppressed, and he was more angry than others. He has been this poor sesame official in Furong Town for more than ten years. As for Shen Xiangyan, this kid became the Marquis in one day, and he didn''t know what kind of luck it was to save the prince. Seeing that the decree had been announced, Murong Cheng turned around and sat on the chair to watch the serious case of Yezhi County without further words. Ye Zhixian understood, sat back in the hall again, and started to hear the case, speaking a little more politely than before, "I don''t know what Master Shen is telling you?" Shen Xiangyan straightened out his thoughts, and explained the ins and outs of the matter. Finally, he said, "I come here to open the door for business, and customers come and go. Every fragrance can be photographed with conscience to ensure the quality. I and this Liu Laosan No enmity in the past, no grudges in the present, I don¡¯t know why Liu Laosan framed me Xiangzilai like this, I hope the county magistrate will investigate clearly and return my innocence to Xiangzilai.¡± After hearing this, Ye Zhixian also understood that this matter must have something to do with Liu Laosan, so he said, "Bold Liu Laosan, there are all witnesses and material evidences, what else can you say?" Every time Shen Xiangyan said a word before, Liu Laosan, who was kneeling on the ground, would tremble. He is really regretting it now, God knows that the foolproof thing was not only refuted by Boss Shen one by one with the evidence, and Boss Shen turned into Ankanghou in court, and he didn''t dare to play any tricks with Prince Rong alone. Careful. Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Laosan had no choice but to confess Ye Zhen in order to save himself, "The grass people are wronged, the grass people are wronged, it was Ye Zhen Ye who asked the grass people to do this, the grass people were instigated by others." Hearing that the empress envoy was his nephew, Zhixian Ye thumped in his heart, and wished that Liu Laosan would shut up quickly, "Bold, at this time, you still refuse to confess your guilt obediently and falsely frame others. Is it intentional? I don''t think so. You don''t know how powerful it is to be sentenced to death." "Everything the Caomin said is true. It is the grassroots around Mr. Ye who often comes with Xiaodongzi. He repaid the debts of the gambling house to the grassroots, and said that he would give the grassroots the other half of the money after the matter is completed." Liu Laosan I was also scared, and quickly kowtowed and shouted loudly. Seeing that Ye Zhixian wanted to open his mouth to cover up for his nephew, Shen Xiangyan also stepped forward and said, "Lord Zhixian, since Liu Laosan said so, let''s call Mr. Ye to confront him first, and we will see the truth when the twists and turns are right and wrong." , if Mr. Ye was wronged, he can also be innocent, right?" Ye Zhixian saw that Prince Rong also nodded in agreement, so he couldn''t say anything. He didn''t know what his nephew was like. It''s not like he didn''t do this kind of thing before, but he always turned a blind eye. Forget it. This time it seems that even if he intends to excuse him, he will not succeed. After thinking about his official position, Ye Zhixian had no choice but to send someone to bring Ye Zhen back. Not long after, Ye Zhen and his companion Chang Sui Xiaodongzi were escorted up by the yamen servants. Before they came, Ye Zhen was hanging out with a new beauty she had acquired, and she was confident when she heard the yamen servants came. After all, this Furong No one in the town didn''t know his relationship with the magistrate, even if he was in the dark, he could say it was white, so he had nothing to be afraid of. I just don''t know how this little Dongzi found him this time, the **** Liu Laosan can''t do such a small thing. After Ye Zhen came in, she swaggered and didn''t intend to kneel. She walked around her back garden and said, "Hey, uncle, what''s going on? You even called your nephew." After finishing speaking, she kicked Lao San Liu With a kick, "Damn slave, who told you to confess me, I will die." Ye Zhen''s kick was not light, and it happened to hit Liu Laosan''s chest, and Liu Laosan immediately fell to the ground and groaned. Ye Zhixian sat in the hall and watched this scene, feeling like pins and needles, and gave Ye Zhen a wink, but the boy didn''t look up at all. After letting this kid continue talking like this, whether he should be an official or not, he slapped the gavel and shouted, "Ye Zhen, the prince and the marquis are here, hurry up and salute!" Only then did Ye Zhen realize that there was a man sitting in the hall, and even Shen Xiangyan didn''t kneel down. Although she didn''t know what happened to Lord Hou, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that she might not be able to be kind today. Shocked, she hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "Ye Zhen, a grass-roots man, greet the prince and master." "This nephew of Yezhi County is really very polite. I don''t know how much he should be punished for contempt of the court?" Although Prince Rong sat there with his head and did not move, but in a high position, the aura of forgiveness exuded from his body still made Ye Zhixian instantly Breaking out in a cold sweat, "Yes, yes, contempt of the court deserves 20 boards, come..." Yezhi County wanted to keep him for execution, but was stopped by Prince Rong, "Trial the case first, maybe we will be punished together at that time. Well, since you are the nephew of Yezhi County, you can''t continue the trial." Let me take care of this case." After Prince Rong said that, Ye Zhixian had no choice but to stop talking. Shen Xiangyan at the side heard what the prince said, and knew that the prince was helping him get justice, so he stood aside and continued to listen with a smile, "Liu Laosan, you Since you are said to be Ye Zhen behind the scenes, and you have evidence, I will definitely uphold justice if you tell me." Liu Laosan knew that if he took all the charges, there would be no good fruit to eat, so he took out a purse from his arms, which contained fifty taels of silver bills, "The money owed by the grassroots to the gambling house that day One hundred taels, it was Xiaodongzi who returned it to the grass-roots people. You only need to ask the people in the gambling shop to find out about it. As for the fifty taels, Xiaodongzi gave it to me, saying that as long as Mr. Ye handles the matter well , you can get one hundred and fifty taels again, and the grassroots are also greedy for money for a while, so they fell into the villain''s tricks." Prince Rong skipped Xiao Dongzi directly, looked deeply at Ye Zhen and said, "Ye Zhen, what else can you say?" Behind the scenes. Ye Zhen was caught by Prince Rong''s eyes, and she couldn''t tell the slightest bit of injustice, and there were all witnesses and material evidence, and he hadn''t greeted the gambling shop owner, so he had to plead guilty in the end. "Since I have pleaded guilty, the sentence should be handed over to Ye Zhixian." Although Ye Zhixian was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not dare to show the slightest bit on his face, so he had to fine Ye Zhen and Liu Laosan by 40 boards each, and let Ye Zhen Take five hundred taels of silver, right as compensation to Xiang Zilai. Although Shen Xiangyan was not very satisfied with this result, he knew that he couldn''t let it go. His purpose was to teach the other party a lesson, so that they would not dare to do anything to him in the future. Now that he has won the title of Lord Marquis for nothing, thoughtful people will naturally weigh the weight. Now that the purpose has been achieved, it is okay up. Shen Xiangyan looked at Murong Cheng who had already walked towards him, smiled, and said as usual, "My lord, I agreed to go to my younger brother''s house before to get drunk or not." Returned, it still counts now.¡± Seeing that Shen Xiangyan''s attitude towards him remained the same, Murong Cheng laughed sincerely, it''s rare for people like them to have a few bosom friends. He admired Shen Xiangyan very much before, and he was afraid that the other party''s knowledge of his identity would affect him, but now that Shen Xiangyan''s attitude towards him is still the same as before, he is also relieved. At this time, Xia Rong didn''t know that Shen Xiangyan had suddenly turned into Marquis of Ankang, and that he was currently nestling at home secretly embroidering purses. Although his husband forbids him to touch these things, he really wanted to change them for him. But this time he is a top learner, and he sent someone to watch at the gate early on. As long as he sees Xianggong coming back, he will come to notify him, and he just needs to put away the things when the time comes. But Shen Xiangyan didn''t wait, he waited for Qin Yue who was beside Shen Xiangyan first, Qin Yue was ordered to come back first and tell Xia Rong that the master was conferred the title of Marquis of Ankang. Come here and let the family arrange the banquet in advance. After hearing this, Xia Rong still couldn''t believe it, and she didn''t want to embroider her purse any more. She held He Xin''s hand for a long time before asking Qin Yue what was going on. After Qin Yue finally explained how Liu Laosan slandered Xiang Zilai, Shen Xiangyan found evidence to prove Xiang Zilai''s innocence in front of everyone, and then confronted the court, Prince Rong revealed his identity, and so on. Only then did Xia Rong understand what had happened, and hurriedly ordered, "He Miao, go to the kitchen yourself so that Mrs. Rong can act quickly and prepare a table of special dishes. And He Xin, tell the servants to do their own thing. Post, when husband and prince come back later, be vigilant and don''t make mistakes." After explaining to the two of them, Xia Rong finally digested Qin Yue''s previous words. First of all, he didn''t think about Shen Xiangyan''s title. It''s because of Xianggong who didn''t know the seriousness and brought this matter to the government office and was afraid. Ye Zhen is Ye Zhixian''s nephew. It''s good luck to meet the prince this time. If you don''t get benefits, you may be fined if you are serious. Hmph, you must talk about it when your husband comes back. Chapter 53: Ye Zhixian originally wanted to hold a banquet at the mansion to welcome Prince Rong, but was declined by Prince Rong because he agreed to go to Shen Xiangyan''s house. This indirectly showed Ye Zhixian that the relationship between the two was very important. He didn''t dare to say anything more, so he had to bow and salute and send the two of them out of the mansion. Shen Xiangyan led Murong Cheng all the way back to Shen''s house, it was unavoidable to be watched by the common people on the way, and even many girls of the right age from various families looked at them from afar. But fortunately, these people were somewhat afraid of their current identities and did not dare to strike up a conversation, otherwise they would really be in trouble. Because of this, both of them intentionally quickened their pace, but even so, due to the large crowd of onlookers on the road, when the two arrived at Shen''s house, there was almost a banquet set up at the other end of the kitchen. The servants at the door saw their master and Prince Rong coming back, so they hurried to the backyard to report to Zheng Jun. Xia Rong had already changed her clothes and waited. After hearing the boy''s message, she hurried to the front yard. Seeing that Shen Xiangyan came back with a man in a black shirt, Xia Rong knew that this man must be Prince Rong. The other party was of high status, and Xia Rong was unavoidably nervous before he came. But when he saw someone, he might subconsciously know that his husband was here. Not only did Xia Rong not have stage fright, but she also performed well. When Xia Rong and a group of servants were about to salute to Prince Rong, Murong Cheng took the first step to help him, "I think this is my sister-in-law, so don''t be too polite. Brother Shen has saved my life, brother." The daughter-in-law is still pregnant, so just treat me as an ordinary guest." After speaking, he turned to Shen Xiangyan and said, "Before I have time to congratulate Brother Shen, I will soon be a father." Hearing the prince''s congratulations, Shen Xiangyan not only did not feel any sense of trepidation, but instead accepted it with pride. This is his most beloved husband, and there is also a child of the two of them in his stomach, so how could he not be proud. Seeing that the prince is so easy to get along with, Xia Rong not only doesn''t call himself "the king", but also is a little surprised to call himself "I" to them. She raises her eyes and sees Xiang Gong smiling at him gently, and the look in his eyes is full of comfort , Xia Rong felt relieved. Since Xianggong told him not to worry, then he didn''t have to worry. When Shen Xiangyan saw that Prince Rong was here, Xia Rong was still somewhat cautious, so he didn''t insist on him being here as a company, patted his head, and asked He Miao to take the people back to the backyard to rest. Send someone to say that the food can be served at any time. Looking at the time, it was almost time for dinner, so Shen Xiangyan ordered the kitchen to have food served. After a while, the table was filled with all kinds of dishes, many of which were improved by Shen Xiangyan combined with the meals he had eaten in various restaurants in his previous life, and after discussing with the kitchen in the house. It was nothing special in the past, but you can still feel a different flavor when you eat it carefully. Murong Cheng grew up in the palace and had never eaten anything good, but when he ate this table of dishes prepared by the Shen family, he also noticed the difference. Many of the dishes were quite to his liking, so he did not hesitate to praise them. Shen Xiangyan smiled and told Murong Cheng the recipe of some of the dishes, which were also developed to satisfy the snacks in his family. Although Feng Yuguo is ultimately based on the idea of ??a gentleman staying away from the kitchen, Shen Xiangyan didn''t think about it at all when he did it. Every time he saw Xia Rong eating happily, he was also filled with joy, so he didn''t care at all. I don''t mind discussing these kitchen matters with others, but fortunately Murong Cheng is not a person who sticks to small details. The two ate and chatted, and after three glasses passed, Murong Cheng raised his glass and said frankly, "Brother Shen, my real name is actually Zhou Cheng. Murong is the surname of the master who taught me to ride and shoot. I had to hide it back then. Brother, don¡¯t blame me. But I sincerely have friendship with Brother Shen, if you don¡¯t mind, please call me Big Brother in private from now on.¡± At that time, he was rescued from the water by Shen Xiangyan, so it¡¯s not hard to imagine that there must be people from all walks of life around Looking for his whereabouts, in order to deceive others, he had no choice but to pretend to be Murong Cheng, but after all, this was to deceive Shen Xiangyan, so he raised his glass now. Zhou Naiguo''s surname, ever since he knew Murong Cheng''s identity, Shen Xiangyan knew that Murong Cheng''s name must be just a pseudonym. So I wasn''t too surprised to hear what Prince Rong said. Seeing Zhou Cheng''s eyes full of sincerity, Shen Xiangyan responded without being pretentious after a quick thought, "Then I''ll ask you, I''ve recognized you as a big brother. Come on, big brother. I respect you, little brother." As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp. "Okay, okay, today you and I won''t go home without getting drunk." Seeing that Shen Xiangyan was so happy, Zhou Cheng was even more happy in his heart, thinking that he had not misjudged the person, so he picked up the wine glass again like Shen Xiangyan, and drank happily Had a glass. This is why Shen Xiangyan, a person with memories from his previous life, has lived in Furong Town, a place far away from the center of power, and has no intention of squeezing into the center of power, so when he knew that the other party was the prince, , and don''t have much sense of class interests, that''s why it''s so easy to call the prince brothers and sisters. But Shen Xiangyan is not stupid, if he hadn''t seen that Zhou Cheng valued affection and righteousness, he was really trustworthy, he would definitely not get along with him like this. And no matter what, Shen Xiangyan''s foundation here is not deep after all, if he doesn''t rely on Prince Rong, the automatic backer who comes to his door, then he is really stupid. Therefore, under the premise that both of them intend to make friends with each other, the banquet today had a very good atmosphere, and it didn''t end until very late. Seeing that Zhou Cheng was also a little drunk, Shen Xiangyan suggested that the other party should rest in Shen''s house for one night today, and we will talk about the rest tomorrow. Prince Rong didn''t talk politely to Shen Xiang, he really stayed in Shen''s house for the night so he didn''t mention it. Besides, after Shen Xiangyan arranged for Prince Rong and his party, he could finally go back to Haitang Courtyard to find Xia Rong. Xia Rong had also been waiting in the house for her husband to come back, but she fell asleep unconsciously while waiting. When Shen Xiangyan entered the room, he saw Xia Rong leaning on a chair and falling asleep. He couldn''t help but smiled and shook his head. Looking at Rong''er''s drowsy face under the candlelight, he felt full of heart. A sense of happiness is about to overflow. Shen Xiangyan took two steps forward, leaned over and picked him up, ready to put him back on the bed to sleep, but Xia Rong woke up just after he picked him up. Xia Rong stretched out her arms to wrap around Shen Xiangyan''s neck with familiar movements, and said pleasantly, "Master, are you back?" "If you don''t come back, Mrs. Hou will be in a hurry." Even though Xia Rong woke up, Shen Xiangyan put her back on the bed. Xia Rong was called out by Shen Xiangyan''s Mrs. Hou Ye and finally remembered to ask what happened today. He has been worried since he heard the report from Qin Yue, and finally waited for Xianggong to come back. Asked carefully, he was really anxious to death. This matter was considered over, so Shen Xiangyan didn''t hide anything, and told the whole thing in detail. After hearing this for a while, Xia Rong was afraid, so many things happened without him knowing, so she tightened her grip on her husband''s sleeve and said, "That''s true for Ye Zhen, we didn''t offend him before, that''s all. Acting, you too, Mr. Xianggong, if you didn''t meet the prince today, how could things go so smoothly." Shen Xiangyan knew that Fulang was worried about him, so he kissed his side face and smiled, "Don''t worry, I''m not so easy to deal with, let alone so many people follow me, no matter what happens in Yezhi County You won''t embarrass me too much in public." What''s more, if today''s loss is taken without saying a word, not only Ye Zhen, but also other people who are eyeing the incense making recipe in his hand will think that Shen Xiangyan is easy to bully, if that is the case, he will really struggle. . But today he won the title of Lord Marquis for nothing, and in the future, as long as he doesn''t seek death himself, it will be much more convenient for him to act. He still remembered that there was still a peach branch in the magistrate''s mansion. In the past, it was forced by Ye Zhixian not to touch him, but it will be hard to say in the future. Xia Rong also thought that Shen Xiangyan''s current status was not what it used to be, no matter how stupid Ye Zhen was, she would not come to trouble them, so she felt relieved a lot. But after thinking about what Xianggong said carefully, Xia Rong was still a little puzzled by Liu Laosan''s matter, so she asked, "By the way, Xianggong, what happened to the perfume bottle in Liu Laosan''s hand? Could it be a fake? Could it be that he really bought a fake product to frame it? It¡¯s not right, if he dares to come, he will definitely not have problems with such a trivial matter. " "Oh, this, then Liu Laosan really bought the perfume at Xiangzilai, but..." Shen Xiangyan said at the end, deliberately sold a lawsuit and didn''t go any further. "It''s just what?" Xia Rong stopped when she saw that Xianggong had finished speaking halfway, and hurriedly tugged on Xianggong''s sleeve and shook it. Shen Xiangyan pointed to his face and said with a smile, "Rong''er, just give me a kiss and I will tell you what to do." Xia Rong hesitated for a while, but still couldn''t stand the curiosity, she closed her eyes and put her lips together, but Shen Xiangyan turned her head at this moment, Xia Rong felt that the touch was not right as soon as she kissed her, and opened her eyes to see It was Xianggong''s lips that he kissed. Immediately, he was ashamed and annoyed, but it was too late to repent and retreat. How could Shen Xiangyan let go of this little thing he brought to the door, without thinking too much, he stretched out his hand to grab the back of Xia Rong''s head and deepened the kiss. He stuck out his tongue and licked his soft lips, just like every time before, so sweet, until he heard the cry of the person in his arms, Shen Xiangyan realized his conscience and let go of those soft lips. When he finally let go of Xia Rong, what Shen Xiangyan saw was a face that blended youthfulness and temptation, and those eyes full of mist made people''s hearts flutter. Shen Xiangyan stared scorchingly at Xia Rong''s lips that had become even more pink and tender from the kiss just now, and it took him a long time to regain his sanity, pressed him into his arms, stroked his back, and comforted him Fu Lang, who hadn''t recovered yet, also gave himself time to calm down. Shen Xiangyan cleared his throat and continued, "Then Liu Laosan did indeed buy the perfume from our shop, which is true, but before he went to the shop, your husband and I noticed him, so that day When he went to the store, Shen An personally greeted him. Of course, the bottle of perfume he bought was specially prepared in advance, of course, there must be no logo of our shop inside the offal bottle. " It was only then that Xia Rong suddenly realized that all of this was expected by Xianggong, so Liu Laosan was unlucky enough to meet Xianggong. Xia Rong moved in Shen Xiangyan''s arms, trying to find a comfortable position to sit down, but suddenly felt something strange under her body. Xia Rong''s heart was distressed and it was funny. She felt sorry for Xianggong, but he couldn''t relieve it because he was worried about him. I do not know. Thinking that it was always Xianggong who touched him and often teased him. Xia Rong suddenly had the thought of coming back from molesting, and when he thought of this, he stretched out his little hand to do something wrong on Shen Xiangyan. Shen Xiangyan''s breathing quickened with the movements of Xia Rong''s little hand, and finally he couldn''t bear it anymore and grabbed the little hand that was still messing around, and said helplessly, "Rong''er, are you going to suffocate me, Mr. Wang? I can only watch I can''t eat it, I don''t know how to feel sorry for my husband, and I still add fuel to the fire like this." After speaking, there was a bit of grievance in his tone. Xia Rong also knew that Xianggong was suffering like this, so she pursed her lips in embarrassment for a long time, and finally said in a low voice with great determination, "If Xianggong is suffering, Rong''er can help you with her hands." Although the two I have done this kind of intimacy many times, but each time Xia Rong is immature and shy. Today is the first time that she took the initiative to say that she wants to be like her husband. Before he can react, she will die of embarrassment up. The corners of Shen Xiangyan''s mouth curled up, happy that the little thing in his arms could take the bait, but he adjusted his expression so that Xia Rong couldn''t see his intentions, and said with a dignified look, "Is Mr. It''s hard, but for the sake of Rong''er, my husband can bear it, it''s okay." Saying this, there was a look of enduring pain in his brows. Xia Rong saw that Xianggong endured such hard work, and it was inevitable that she felt guilty for her behavior just now. In the end, her distress for Xianggong prevailed, and she took the initiative to raise her head and kissed Xianggong on the lips, "It should be okay to be gentle." , Last time, nothing happened last time." When Xia Rong said this, Shen Xiangyan, who had a low voice, suspected that the two of them would not be able to hear them even if they were a little far away. But Shen Xiangyan heard it anyway, so he pretended to be moved by Xia Rong''s persuasion, and half-pushed, he was ready to eat tonight''s big meal. I don''t know that this big bad wolf has already thought of the little white rabbit in his arms. Watching the little white rabbit take the bait little by little, don''t worry about the joy in his heart, that is, the little white rabbit treats him as a little one who needs to be taken care of by himself. lamb. In short, Xia Rong was eaten up again and again this night. Looking at the tired little husband who was sleeping soundly in his arms, Shen Xiangyan ran down the hair of the man in his arms for a while, while thinking about things, since he now has the title of Lord Marquis, the current house can also be expanded up. It just so happens that the house next door to this house is also a courtyard with four entrances. Speaking of it, it is about the same size as their current house, and it happened to be vacant a few years ago. As long as you buy it yourself and do a little renovation, you can open up the walls connecting the two houses. That''s fine too. In fact, he had some thoughts before this matter, after all, after the little guy in Rong''er''s stomach was born, there was an extra serious little master in the family. At that time, the milk baby will have to buy some servants around him, and in a few years, he will have to get a separate small yard for him. But at the beginning, Shen Xiangyan was only thinking about whether to change to a larger four-entry or five-entry courtyard. After all, if two four-entry courtyards were opened up, the mansion would be even bigger, but this time he had The title doesn''t have to worry about this problem. Another thing is whether he needs to give Zhou Cheng the formula he has mastered. After all, he has received a silver medal from the other party before, and that silver medal can be exchanged for one hundred thousand taels of silver in Kaiyuan Yinzhuang. Although he planned to return the silver medal to him if he had a chance to meet again, but today he knew that the other party was Prince Rong before he even mentioned it. Thinking about such a silver medal, it is not worth mentioning in the hands of Prince Rong, and it seems that Prince Rong really wants to make friends with him. If he returns him to Zhou Cheng himself, maybe the other party will turn against him . After much deliberation, it is better to submit a prescription, which will not only stabilize his title, but also repay the favor of the royal family. After all, cannibals are soft-mouthed and short-handed. He returned a big gift, which would also make the person on the dragon chair feel a little more favorable towards him. Thinking of this, it is necessary to consider which recipe to use. After all, gunpowder, which is too old-fashioned, will definitely not work, and if he is asked to make gunpowder, he needs to repeatedly verify the ratio. After all, he only knows the raw materials and the approximate ratio. , and never really did. And the recipes that are too mediocre are not good, it is better not to give them. Thinking of this, Shen Xiangyan fell asleep holding the soft little body in his arms, and didn''t wake up until the next morning when Rong''er in his arms rolled over and woke him up. When Shen Xiangyan opened his eyes, he saw that his little husband seemed to be dreaming of something good, turning over and hugging the quilt, smiling sweetly while falling asleep, so he couldn''t bear to wake him up. He himself was careful not to wake Xia Rong up, got out of bed, and was about to go to the study to write the last recipe he thought of last night. After thinking for a long time, he realized that he used this recipe for making mirrors, and this recipe for mirrors was not from his previous life. The common low-cost, but more luxurious method of making mirrors with silver powder. In this way, the things made by this recipe can only be luxuries that can be used by the upper class. If used well, it will provide Zhou Cheng with a good way to make money, and it will not bring too much harm to Feng Yuguo. Influence, the more I thought about it, the more feasible it became, so I couldn''t help but went to the study and wrote a letter, writing Fang Zi''s matter and his thoughts into it. Shen Xiangyan originally thought that Prince Rong would definitely stay in Furong Town for a few more days, but who knew that just after he finished writing this letter, he heard Qin Yue report that Prince Rong and his party were about to leave, so he came here to let him go out to meet the superior Once, Shen Xiangyan was startled, hurriedly packed a letter and rushed forward. Chapter 54: When Shen Xiangyan led Qin Yue to the front yard, Prince Rong was discussing something with the guards around him, and it seemed that he was really about to leave. Because at this moment besides the four guards that Prince Rong saw yesterday, there are two extra guards not far away. These people should have been deliberately hidden before coming here. Now that the identity of the prince is exposed, these people are naturally All showed up. "Brother, why don''t you stay for a few more days and leave so soon?" Because he was a little anxious when he came, Shen Xiangyan took a few breaths before asking. He thought he could spend a few more days with Zhou Cheng, but he never thought that Zhou Cheng would leave so soon. Seeing Shen Xiangyan coming, Zhou Cheng patted him on the shoulder, laughed twice, and then said, "Brother Yan, brother, I still have the task entrusted to me by the emperor, and the emperor''s fate is hard to do. Since you are here already It''s okay, so I won''t stay any longer. Sigh, no matter how persuasive you are, you won''t move to the capital, otherwise we brothers won''t be able to see each other from time to time." Zhou Cheng had mentioned this matter several times at the banquet last night, but he refused all of them. Although he has a title now, any official in a place like the capital might be older than him, and he doesn''t have any ambition to exert power in the government and the public, he only thinks about his husband and children. What''s more, both he and Rong''er are used to the life in Furong Town, if he went to the capital, not only would he not be used to it, but Rong''er would not be able to live comfortably either. "Brother, it''s not that you don''t know me. I feel very bound when I think of going to the capital. Now, brother, you have asked me to be a knight. Here I bring my husband and children and no one dares to bully me. How comfortable I am. It¡¯s much better than going to the capital.¡± Zhou Cheng thought about it for a while. He himself grew up in a place where people eat people and don¡¯t spit out their bones. How could he not know that the place looks beautiful on the surface, but in fact it is the most dangerous inside, so he didn¡¯t continue to persuade him. After thinking about it Still unwilling to say, "Then when I have free time in the future, I will come to the capital with my sister-in-law as a guest. When the time comes, I will be the host, and we will not get drunk. This is not an excuse." Seeing that Shen Xiangyan nodded in response, Zhou Cheng smiled and said, "That''s it, Brother Yan, let''s meet again next time." Saying this, he called the guards to get ready to go. Only then did Shen Xiangyan remember about the letter, he hurriedly pulled humanity back, "Brother, younger brother, here is another letter for you, don''t forget to read it when you turn around." Zhou Cheng took the letter, although he was a little puzzled, he took it without saying anything. Shen Xiangyan looked at the backs of Zhou Cheng''s team going away, and couldn''t help sighing in his heart, this time he really left. Shen Xiangyan turned around and just woke up to see if Xia Rong was awake, when he was startled by a group of people behind him, and saw all the servants in the house kneeling on the ground one by one, kowtowing to him with unconcealed excitement in his tone, "Slave Please greet Lord Hou." Shen Xiangyan said no to Chen Cai, Feng Qin, Qin Yue, and He Xin, who seemed to be the beginning at first glance, and he was also annoyed at the end, "Look at you, hurry up, Zhengjun Is there someone to watch?" Don''t just try to make him happy, there''s no one to take care of Xia Rong, right? Then everyone stood up laughing, and He Xin covered her mouth and smiled back, "Don''t worry, Lord Hou, He Miao and a few girls are staying with Zhengjun. Everyone is also happy for you to become Lord Hou, young master. From now on, even our servants will be honored when they go out." After hearing He Xin''s words, the surrounding servants all responded. Originally, because the two masters of the Shen family were rare and easy-to-serve masters, many people in Furong Town envied them for being able to live in Shen''s house. people. This time they transformed into servants of Lord Hou''s mansion again. Thinking about it, those people were even more envious. Even they themselves felt that this was a great blessing. After Shen Xiangyan told everyone to disperse, he took He Xin to the Begonia Courtyard. On the way, I suddenly remembered that the master''s family should be rewarded with silver for winning the title. Just as he mentioned this matter to He Xin, He Xin said, "This servant thanked the Marquis for his compassion on behalf of the others, but Zheng Jun explained everything yesterday. Slaves, everyone has received the reward early this morning." Shen Xiangyan was not annoyed when he heard it, but instead felt a sense of pride, this is the husband he taught by himself, and he handles housework more and more properly. When Shen Xiangyan returned to Haitang Courtyard, Xia Rong had already woken up, and He Miao was helping him to freshen up. When Shen Xiangyan saw him, he took He Miao''s place, took the wet cloth towel and wiped Xia Rong''s face carefully. Xia Rong also acted as usual, sat obediently and let the husband take care of him, "Has the lord left?" He woke up early in the morning, and he heard He Miao mention this matter, and he was a little surprised why the lord left in such a hurry . "Well, the prince still has the emperor''s life, so naturally he can''t stay for long. Okay, Rong''er, let''s not talk about him. Mr. Xianggong wants to buy the house next door. How about getting a garden for you?" He was a nice person, but Shen Xiangyan still felt a little uncomfortable when Xia Rong mentioned other men. Rong''er belonged to him alone, how could he wake up early in the morning and ask other wild men first thing, that''s not okay. Sure enough, Xia Rong was successfully diverted by his words, remembering the four-in-one courtyard next door, holding Shen Xiangyan''s hand, and said nervously, "Rong''er doesn''t need a garden. The house we live in is already big enough. What is that house for?" In fact, he was already very satisfied when he and his husband lived in the small courtyard. Later, after changing the house, I always thought it was big enough. After all, there were only him and my husband in the house, and Xia Rong really didn''t think about expanding it. Shen Xiangyan patted Xia Rong''s head, and said with a smile, "Rong''er, the little guy in your stomach will be born soon, and if it''s a little girl or a little girl, he will be happy with a back garden." No, what''s more, our family is the Marquis''s Mansion now, so it should be expanded." He made money to make Fu Lang and his children live more comfortably, if it wasn''t for the fact that he was just an ordinary businessman before, he was afraid of being too ostentatious If it caused future troubles, he wished he could make the house more exquisite. Xia Rong has always been what her husband says, and for so long, every decision made by her husband is for his own good, so she just nodded in response in a daze. Familiar with the little guy in his belly, Shen Xiangyan didn''t think too much about it. The reason for setting up a garden was because Xia Rong spent most of his time at home. Shen Xiangyan was afraid that Xia Rong would be too boring at home. Yesterday, Prince Rong personally read out the imperial decree, sealing Shen Xiangyan as the Marquis of Kang Ning, and the news spread throughout Furong Town overnight. Those families who had a good personal relationship with Shen Xiangyan on weekdays, such as the Li family, the Lu family, and the Gu family were all happy for Shen Xiangyan, and they prepared congratulatory gifts early on for people to send to the Shen family today. And those who have business dealings with Xiang Zilai also got the letter early, so they were afraid of being left behind by others, and they also told them to prepare gifts at home. Of course, there are those who appear to be congratulating Shen Xiangyan on the surface, but in fact are as jealous as they want in private, such as Xia Tian, ??Ye Zhen, etc., they have to follow the trend to give gifts to the Shen family, otherwise they are obviously dissatisfied the will of the emperor. Finally, there are people like Taozhi who, even if they get the letter, don''t do anything in their hearts, but are not qualified to give gifts. In short, no matter what it is, since the prince left, the servants of the Kangninghou Mansion can be regarded as knowing what receiving gifts is and can receive hand cramps. By the way, in the past two days, Shen''s residence has also been officially changed into Kangninghoufu, and the house next door was also successfully bought by Shen Xiangyan''s people. Guanya''s people saw that the servants of Kangninghoufu came to buy the house, and said nothing. After receiving the money, the land deed was handed over, and there was no one who moved so quickly. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Prince Rong rushed all the way to the next place, and only then took out the letter written by Shen Xiangyan to him when he reached the resting place, and when he opened the letter, he saw a mirror-making recipe. When Prince Rong opened the prescription, he was really surprised. After putting down the prescription, he continued to read the contents of Shen Xiangyan''s letter. It turned out that although Shen Xiangyan came out with this prescription, he also knew the truth of the innocent and the guilty, so he also explained the origin of this prescription in the letter. It is said that the late father got it by accident when he went south to buy spices. After getting it, he has been powerless. Even if he did this mirror business, he was afraid that he would not be able to keep it. But it was a pity that this prescription was placed in his hands, so he thought that handing the prescription to him could be regarded as a gift from the younger brother to the elder brother. Holding the prescription in his hand, Zhou Cheng sighed after a while, "Brother Yan is really worthy of my king''s friendship." How could he not know the value of this prescription? This is an obvious profiteering business. As long as you grasp it well, The treasury matter that the emperor brother has been worrying about can also be relieved a little bit. This matter can''t be taken advantage of by brother Yan, Zhou Cheng thought for a while and ordered the guards to bring paper and pen, and wrote a reply letter with a pen. In the letter, he decided to distribute 20% of the profits from the mirror business to Shen Xiangyan, and the other 80% would be used to fill the national treasury. Fearing that Shen Xiangyan would refuse to accept it, he also wrote many reasons to persuade him to accept it. In short, when Shen Xiangyan received this letter, he really couldn''t laugh or cry. Originally, he had his own little thoughts, and wanted to give this house to Prince Rong for nothing. In the end, he was still regarded as a good person, and he gained two points of profit for no reason. But the matter has come to this point, Shen Xiangyan can only relax and accept the extra profits for no reason. The days are getting hotter day by day. Xia Rong is not very afraid of heat at first, but it may be because she is pregnant that she is especially afraid of heat this summer. Ice is naturally indispensable in the residence of the Marquis of Kangning, but Shen Xiangyan was afraid that Xia Rong''s body would not be able to bear it, so he did not dare to use too much ice for him. Xia Rong''s stomach is now seven months old, and it is time to pay attention . Gu Chen''s due date is less than half a month away, and Xia Rong sent two of the Wen women in the family there early. Speaking of Wen women, Xia Rong couldn''t help but slander. When his belly was five or six months old, the husband began to send people around to pay a lot of money to hire Wen Po. Now that his belly is seven months old, there are already five Wen Po in the family. If he didn''t try his best to persuade him, it would be enough Now, seeing your husband''s crazy appearance, I really wish I could invite all the stable women from hundreds of miles around Furong Town. Because the weather is too hot, Xia Rong is currently cooling off in the newly built garden. Shen Xiangyan specially built a bamboo forest here for him, which is similar to the villa in the villa. Unfortunately, there is no hot spring in this place. But thanks to this bamboo forest, otherwise, with Xia Rong''s current system, it would have been even worse if she was so afraid of the heat. When Shen Xiangyan came back, what he saw was Xia Rong lying on the bamboo couch, with his eyes closed and his belly stretched out to bask in the sun. This scene made Shen Xiangyan so cute. Shen Xiangyan stepped lightly, took the fan from He Miao''s hand, and signaled the servants around to go down, while he himself sat on the small bamboo stool next to him and fanned Xia Rong. He grabbed Dr. Li early this morning and asked him to give Xia Rong some urgently needed medicine if something went wrong during delivery, such as high-quality century-old wild ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, whether it is useful or not, he will make it I took some to Dr. Li. This can''t be blamed on him, even in his previous life, it was a big event for a pregnant woman to give birth, let alone in this era where medical care is very backward. As far as he heard, women here have dystocia, and fewer die from bleeding, let alone twins who are three points more dangerous than women giving birth. Looking at Xia Rong''s peaceful side face, her long eyelashes fluttered with her breathing, it seemed that she was not asleep. But such a big baby is his. If he doesn''t make enough preparations in advance, how can he calm down? Even if everyone laughs at him because of this, Shen Xiangyan, he doesn''t care. It hurts. Speaking of which, Marquis Kang Ning was worried about hiring five stable wives because of his husband''s birth, and insisted on holding Dr. Li on. This fact has already spread throughout Furong Town. After all, the ancient people didn¡¯t have too many entertainment items. The gossip of each family is inevitably the focus of these people¡¯s attention, let alone the affairs of the Kangning Mansion. Now even if the chef of the Kangning Mansion has made any new dishes No matter what new clothes Mrs. Hou has changed, it can become the talk of this group of people for several days. When Shen Xiangyan picked up the fan and started to fan him, Xia Rong knew that this was the husband, don''t ask him why he knew, Shuang''er''s sixth sense. Xia Rong was lying there only because the weather was too hot, his whole body was lazy, and he didn''t want to move at all. Xia Rong enjoyed the wind from her husband''s fan, and lay there for a while, seeing that her husband was only fanning the fan and didn''t talk to him. Finally couldn''t help opening one eye, wanting to see what Xianggong was doing, but what he saw was that Xianggong was smiling at him clearly, as if he was sure that he was not asleep. Xia Rong snorted twice, and coquettishly said in dissatisfaction, "I want to eat lychees, you peel them for me." Whoever asked Xianggong to deliberately tease him, he is not lazy to do it himself. Shen Xiangyan picked up the fruit plate on the table and looked at him dotingly, smiled and said, "Okay, okay, my husband will peel it for you." Then he peeled a lychee, but he didn''t put it into Xia Rong''s mouth, instead it was Put it into his own mouth, then leaned over and kissed the tender lips. Xia Rong only had time to let out a "sob", before a lychee was stuffed into his mouth, and then the lychee was passed between the two people''s mouths, and finally entered Xia Rong''s stomach. "Do you still want to feed me? En?" Shen Xiangyan looked at the little husband on the bamboo couch who opened his eyes and stared at him. Move, when the time comes, it will be difficult to give birth, so I just want to tease him. Seeing that Xia Rong shook his head and refused to let him feed him, Shen Xiangyan continued to coax, "Then Rong''er get up, how about going to the garden with my husband?" When Xia Rong heard that he was going to visit the garden, she lost interest at all. Although he knew that Xianggong was doing it for his own good, he just didn''t want to move. "Don''t get up, does Rong''er want my husband to continue to feed you lychees?" As he said that, he was about to go to get the lychees, Xia Rong was really scared this time, and hurriedly waved his hands and was about to get up. Shen Xiangyan stretched out his hand to help Xia Rong stand up, rubbed his head and said, "Let''s just walk around, how about I make boiled fish for you in the evening after the walk?" Shen Xiangyan had cooked this dish once before, because it It was delicious and quite spicy, and Xia Rong was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable after eating it, so he only made it once. But Xia Rong fell in love with it after eating it once, Shen Xiangyan thought, at most, he should put less chili peppers when making it tonight, well, now he really does everything he can to coax Rong''er to follow him to exercise. When Xia Rong heard that there was boiled fish to eat at night, she stopped complaining and let Shen Xiangyan hold his hand and started walking around the garden. The time Shen Xiangyan picked was just right, it was already past noon when the sun was shining, and most of the walks were in the shade of trees, so Xia Rong didn''t feel too uncomfortable, but after all, they couldn''t finish the whole walk today. After walking around for half a circle, I saw He Xin running towards them in a hurry. Seeing He Xin running out of breath, Shen Xiangyan didn''t rush to ask him, let him relax, and then asked, "What''s the matter? You''re in such a hurry." Only then did He Xin finish Wan Fuli and replied, "Zhengjun, Young Master Gu gave birth. He said it happened last night, and he gave birth to twins." Xia Zhengjun. When Xia Rong heard that Gu Chen had given birth, she was a little puzzled, didn''t she say that the due date was half a month less. Seeing He Xin''s appearance, Xia Rong became even more suspicious, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Gu, what happened?" "The people who talked back and forth were people around Young Master Gu. Young Master Gu was pushed by someone, which led to the premature delivery. Fortunately, the midwives Hou Ye found for you are all capable, and the baby in your belly It''s almost full-term, and there is half a hundred-year-old wild ginseng sent by Lord Hou before. Although this night is a bit dangerous, at least mother and child are safe." He Xin tried to learn everything verbatim from the people from Gu''s family, but he also blurred who the person who pushed Young Master Gu was, because he was afraid that Zheng Jun would be angry if he heard it. Xia Rong was eager to know who that person was, not to mention how much Brother Gu wanted this child, if God hadn''t opened his eyes, it might have killed someone, and He Xin couldn''t hide it now Asked, "Who has such vicious thoughts, did the person here tell you?" "The one who pushed Young Master Gu was the girl named Xiaoyu who wanted to climb into Young Master Lu''s bed before. She was locked in the rough envoy girl''s room all the time, but somehow she ran out, and something like this happened." Shen Xiangyan frowned, and also remembered that girl named Xiaoyu. At the beginning, he felt that Lu Tingsheng treated this girl too lightly. Even if this Xiaoyu was given to him by his mother, and he has some face, but if he wants to climb the bed, it is not an exaggeration to beat him to death. But the matter had already happened. Seeing Xia Rong''s anxious face, Shen Xiangyan made an argument for Rong''er and told He Xin, "Go to Lu''s Village yourself, bring some medicinal herbs for your body, and take half a root of wild ginseng there. .It can also be regarded as a statement for you Zhengjun, I think Lu Tingsheng will know what to do." "What Xianggong said is, He Xin, you go there yourself and take a closer look at Brother Gu''s situation." Xia Rong also thought of it, and for the first time, he was glad that his identity was completely different from the past through Xianggong. This kind of thing happened to Brother Gu, and he gave birth to Shuang Er. He and Lu Tingsheng''s mother must be on the same page. At this time, the people who serve him personally go to visit, which also represents their Kangninghou Mansion. Meaning, before Mother Lu wanted to do something, she would also think about everything for his and her husband''s sake. He Xin saluted, and accepted the order happily, "Yes, slave girl will go now." After Shen Xiangyan saw He Xin go down, he was afraid that Xia Rong would think too much, so he picked him up and walked to the Haitang courtyard, "Don''t worry, Rong Er, the person who came here said that Brother Gu and the child are all safe and sound. As long as everyone is here, it''s fine. Rong''er''s biggest task now is to eat well and sleep well, so as to give birth to our little baby smoothly." Xia Rong knew that Xianggong cared about him, and was willing to respond. She put her arms around Xianggong''s neck, leaned her head on Xianggong''s shoulder, and nodded slightly in agreement, "Rong''er knows, Rong''er is just a little worried about Big Brother Gu." But Rong''er is very lucky, fortunately, no one will give you a house girl." "That''s right, there''s a small vinegar bag at home, and I don''t dare to provoke others." Shen Xiangyan said this in a tone full of indulgence and helplessness, as if it was true. Xia Rong didn''t want to do it after hearing this, she thumped her husband''s chest and said, "You are the little vinegar bag, not Rong''er." "Yes, sir, I''m jealous, I wish Rong''er could only see me as a husband in her eyes." Although the tone of saying this was a joke, Shen Xiangyan knew that what he said was extremely serious, and this was the last thing in his heart. The dark side. Fortunately Xia Rong loves him equally, otherwise Shen Xiangyan wouldn''t know what he would do. Although at the beginning, I only regarded the person in my arms as a responsibility to come here and integrate into this place, a partner who can let go of my feelings. But when it started, the person in my arms became more important than me, I wanted to give him the best, I wanted to make him happy, so that he could never leave me. Shen Xiangyan didn''t dare to think deeply about it. This is probably the reason why he found so many stable women and made so many preparations for Xia Rong''s delivery. He was always afraid in his heart that any accident would happen to Xia Rong during delivery, even if it might just be just in case. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Seeing the midwife coming out with the baby, Lu Tingsheng pushed open the door of the delivery room and went in without even looking at it. What he saw was the bloodless Gu Chen, lying there motionless like a rag doll. Lu Tingsheng couldn''t help stretching out his trembling hand, and ran over his sweaty temple hair, until he got up the courage to put his hand under Gu Chen''s nose, feeling that he was still breathing, and finally couldn''t help hugging the person on the bed tightly. Lu Tingsheng had never hated his womanly kindness so much. Obviously he could reject his mother from the beginning, he could deal with her directly when he entered the mansion, he could order someone to beat that daring servant to death when he dared to climb into his bed. He just spared the other party time and time again, and whoever was the one who was harmed was not his Chen''er who was wronged again and again, and in the end he almost died. Lu Tingsheng couldn''t help but clenched his fists, turned his head and told the people beside Gu Chen, "Drag that Xiaoyu to the yard, gag him, beat him to death with sticks, and let them all take a good look at him, look at him." What is the end of this servant who dares to make up his mind?" The servant was obviously frightened by Lu Tingsheng''s viciousness at this moment, he stuttered for a long time before replying "yes", and then hurriedly ran out. Lu Tingsheng didn''t even look at that person, he caressed Gu Chen''s pale face and whispered, "Chen''er, don''t be afraid, my husband is right here. From now on, my husband will definitely not make you feel wronged, okay? In the future, you must Stop scaring me like that." When He Xin came, he saw Lu Tingsheng half-embracing Young Master Gu, who was still unconscious. Seeing this scene, He Xin couldn''t help but sigh in his heart, why bother if he knew today. After handing over all the medicinal materials brought over to the manager of Lu Zhai, He Xin did not leave. He still waited for Young Master Gu to wake up before leaving in peace, otherwise Zheng Jun would have to clamor to come in person after returning. Chapter 55: It was already the third watch when Gu Chen woke up, and he felt pain all over his body when he moved a little bit, and there was no place that didn''t hurt. Thinking of what happened before he passed out, he remembered faintly hearing the midwife say that the child had come out before he passed out. He thought he was going to go like this, but he never thought that he was still alive. Gu Chen wanted to call someone, wanted to see his children, and Ting Sheng, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn''t say a word. It wasn''t until he was lifted up by a gentle but strong hand that Gu Chen reluctantly opened his eyes, and what he saw was Lu Tingsheng whose eyes were bloodshot, his hair was not as meticulous as before, and his face was full of exhaustion. Gu Chen was a little puzzled, why he just fell asleep, and her husband became like this, why does he feel more embarrassed than him who gave birth to a child. It didn''t take long for him to be puzzled, and the water sent to his lips attracted all his attention. It may be that he was in pain before, and his throat was so dry now that he only drank a whole glass of water. Only then did he feel better. "Sister, where is the child, where is the child?" Seeing that Lu Tingsheng was about to get up and leave after feeding him water, Gu Chen was in a hurry, and hurriedly tugged on Lu Tingsheng''s wrist, even the aloof temperament he was born with couldn''t be concealed That urgency. Lu Tingsheng held the cup tightly. He wanted to get up because he wanted the servants to go to the kitchen to see if the medicine was ready. After Gu Chen woke up, he didn''t talk to him immediately because he was afraid that he would think about the child. He wanted to delay it for a while, but Gu Chen still mentioned the child. No one knows better than him how Chen''er longed for a boy in his womb. He has just woken up, his body is still not in good condition, and he is most afraid of the ups and downs in his mood, if he knows that he is giving birth to twins... Gu Chen saw that Lu Tingsheng didn''t move for a long time, and thought that there was something wrong with the child, but it was the child he gave birth with great difficulty, "Sir, what about the child, did something happen to the child?" Gu Chen didn''t dare to continue. , fearing that what he said would come true, the hand that grabbed Lu Tingsheng''s wrist unconsciously exerted more force. Lu Tingsheng was startled awake by the pain in his wrist, and he didn''t let go of his hand holding the cup until he met Gu Chen''s worried eyes. Knowing that he was a demon just now, it is not because of him that Chen''er wanted a boy, as long as he becomes tough in the future and can support Chen''er and the child, how could Gu Chen care about the gender of the child? But I already knew that his Chen''er had the softest heart. Thinking about this, Lu Tingsheng tucked him into the quilt again and told him to lie down, and said softly, "The child is fine, Chen''er just woke up, lie down quickly. I''ll ask the nanny to bring the child." The waiter outside the house The servant girl had heard the commotion in the house long ago, and now she got the master''s order, and hurriedly ran to let the nanny bring the child. After a while, the nurse brought the baby. It just so happened that the medicine prescribed by the doctor in the kitchen was also ready, so Lu Tingsheng brought the medicine bowl and prepared to feed Gu Chen the medicine himself. Gu Chen was unwilling, he was anxious to see the child, how could he take the medicine so slowly, he just touched Lu Tingsheng''s hand and drank it directly from a bowl without using a spoon. Lu Tingsheng saw that he had finished taking the medicine so obediently, and after feeding him a sweet apricot, he reluctantly took the child from the nurse''s arms and placed it beside Gu Chen. Although the child''s small face was still wrinkled, he could still see Gu Chen''s outline. Lu Tingsheng had noticed it before, and he didn''t like it. Gu Chen looked at the child with difficulty, saw a red mole on the shoulder and knew it was a twin, sighed lightly, but hugged the child even tighter, this small lump was his child, how could he possibly do not love. But in this world, both children are sad, he himself is an example, how many are as lucky as Brother Rong, it is not easy to grow up like his childhood sweetheart, what should his children do when they grow up. Lu Tingsheng looked at Gu Chen''s worried face, thinking that he was afraid that his mother would use the excuse that the child was not a boy to force him to take a concubine, and he would be worried. Then he stretched out his hand to wrap Gu Chen and the child into his arms, and said in a firm tone never before, "Chen''er, this child is very much like you, and I like it very much. Mother, don''t worry, I promise that I will not let her in the future." I will bother you again, it is enough for my husband to have you and the child. I just hope that Chen''er will never scare me like this again. If there is no Chen''er, what should I do for my husband." At the end of the speech, he unconsciously remembered just now When entering the delivery room, she felt despair when she saw Gu Chen lying on the bed with a pale face. Because Lu Tingsheng''s health has been poor since he was a child, and he is most taboo about leaking his emotions, so he has always looked gentle. Gu Chen has never seen a husband like this before. In the past, Lu Tingsheng never accepted the matter of taking a concubine because he was afraid that he would be sad, but when facing his mother, he never really refused in person. It seems that walking on the line of life and death this time really scared him, but I don''t know if Xianggong can continue to be like this. Thinking of that Yu''er pushing him, no matter how good Gu Chen was, he couldn''t bear it anymore. At that time, it happened that none of the capable people he brought from his natal family was around, and many of the other servants around him were sent by Mother Lu to take care of Lu Tingsheng, so it was inevitable that they would not be so dedicated to him. This also directly caused Yu''er to rush in like crazy, and the servants were in no hurry to stop her. Lu Tingsheng didn''t notice the abnormality of the husband in his arms, and when he remembered why Gu Chen had suffered such a crime, his voice inevitably became a little harsh, "These servants can''t take care of you well, even a rough girl can''t take care of you. I don''t think my Lu family can use them any more, so it''s better to send them out as soon as possible. I''ve asked Nanny Song by your side to take over this matter, and if you don''t believe me, just sell them I can¡¯t get any available ones. There¡¯s also that girl who thinks she¡¯s from my mother¡¯s place, so she¡¯s going to lose face. In the past, I was too confused. These moths." Gu Chen''s eyes widened in Lu Tingsheng''s arms, it was unbelievable that the husband actually gave the order to beat him to death, Gu Chen''s heart was turbulent for a moment. Lu Tingsheng noticed that the body in his arms suddenly stiffened, thinking that his tone of voice had frightened him just now, so he patted the back of the person in his arms to comfort him, "Is Chen''er tired, let''s sleep for a while, The doctor said that your energy has been hurt by this delivery, and you should not only take medicines on time, but also pay attention to rest." Gu Chen was also really tired, although he still had some doubts, but more of it was the promise and peace of mind that Lu Tingsheng had never given him before, coupled with the comforting pat on the back, he hugged the child to sleep after a while caught. It wasn''t until Gu Chen woke up the next day that Lu Tingsheng told him about the fact that Xia Rong sent a servant to deliver medicine to him. Gu Chen said in his heart that he was not moved, it was a lie, it was hard for Rong''er to become Mrs. Hou, pregnant with a child, and he was still thinking about something here, so he hurriedly asked He Xin to come. He Xin came in and saluted Gu Chen first. Seeing that Gu Chen''s complexion was much better than yesterday''s after giving birth, she felt relieved, and then bowed to explain why Zheng Jun wanted to come in person, but his body didn''t allow it. That''s why he was sent here. Lu Tingsheng asked a few more questions about Xia Rong''s physical condition, and he gave up when he learned that everything was fine there. Lu Tingsheng finally smiled and said, "Your master''s body is getting heavier. It''s the time when you are indispensable to serve by your side, so I won''t keep you any longer. I understand Brother Rong''s intentions. When you go back, let him not worry about it." I''m worried." He Xin replied "Yes", and returned to the mansion with some return gifts from the Lu family. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Day by day, the closer the delivery date was, the more anxious Shen Xiangyan was, but he had to cheer up, fearing that his poor condition would affect Xia Rong. That night, Shen Xiangyan woke up from his sleep, sat up to check on her husband, and found that Xia Rong was not sleeping well. Lifting off the quilt underneath, he skillfully pressed Xia Rong''s legs. This massage technique was also learned from Dr. Li. As the month progressed, Xia Rong would always have leg cramps at night, as long as she used this massage technique, she would feel much better. After kneading and kneading for half an hour, Shen Xiangyan let go and covered Xia Rong with the quilt again. This also caused Shen Xiangyan to be in a bad state of mind the next day. Qin Yue came to report that it was Liu Ran who wanted to kowtow to him in person to thank him. After hearing it twice, he remembered who Liu Ran was. Shen Xiangyan pinched his brows and said after a while, "Then Liu Ran wanted to kowtow to me, why did he ask you for this favor?" Qin Yue was stopped by Shen Xiangyan''s words, and he said for a long time, "Master Hou, it''s not that you always order the little one to run errands in the shop recently, coming and going again and again, isn''t that right." "If you come and go, you hit up with Shuang''er. I told you to go to the shop, and I told you to get closer to him? You can do it, Qin Yue." It''s a cover, but even though Liu Ran is Liu Laosan''s child, he dares to tell the truth in front of everyone, and it seems that he is not a bad person. Qin Yue carefully raised his eyes to look at his master''s expression, although he said ruthlessly, he didn''t look really angry, so he was greatly relieved and said, "Master Hou, you see, it''s not like you don''t have parents Dear ones, I just want to see myself in advance. You have a lot of adults, so let''s spare the little one this time." He still knew about Qin Yue''s situation, but he still couldn''t get angry when he saw his shameless manner, "Well, I don''t usually learn these flattering things from your brother Chen Cai, so I can save my worry a lot. You are not young anymore, Just be yourself, don''t hurt others'' hearts, that child is not easy." "Master Hou, do you agree? Tomorrow, I will bring him over to kowtow to you, but because of this matter, he has been restless all day long, so he just wants to kowtow to you." This is really true. Although Liu Ran is the son of Liu Laosan, he has never received the benefits of this father for a day. But after all, it was his own father who did such a thing that wronged others. As a son of man, he was almost ashamed to death, not to mention that Lord Shen did not hold grudges, saved him, and asked the doctor to treat him. He really wanted to give him face to face. Lord Shen kowtowed. Chapter 56: The next day, Qin Yue brought people to kowtow to Shen Xiangyan. Before Shen Xiangyan could stop him, Liu Ran knelt down and kowtowed to him three times, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for taking me in these days. Liu Ran is very grateful." do." Shen Xiangyan saw that Liu Ran was still very thin although he didn''t look as ill as before, so he asked one more question, "I wonder what the young master Liu plans to do in the future?" Liu Ran''s heart was miserable. With what happened before, his father would definitely not recognize him again, and naturally he couldn''t go back to that family. He didn''t know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief or be sad, but he had the cheek to get shelter from Lord Shen for so long, and he really didn''t have the face to stay any longer. place, not to mention that there is no unparalleled road.¡± Shen Xiangyan saw that although Liu Ran was down and out, he had a rare bit of backbone, which was also rare in Shuang''er. He looked up and saw that Qin Yue had lost his soul because of Liu Ran''s words just now, forget it, and help the two of them, "Benhou heard from Shen An that you have a talent for making incense. Don''t mind, I''ll stay in Xiangzi to help in the future." He was already planning to leave after today, but as for Lord Shen, if he can repay his kindness in this life, Liu Ran is obliged to do so, and if he does not have this opportunity, he will repay in the next life. I originally planned for the worst, but I didn''t expect to be able to stay in the end. Liu Ran was momentarily overwhelmed by the huge surprise. It wasn''t until Qin Yue reminded him that Liu Ran couldn''t hide his excitement and thanked Shen Hou God''s grace. Seeing his grateful expression, Shen Xiangyan smiled and said, "You don''t have to be too grateful, Benhou''s shop is not a place to eat for free, and if you don''t do well by then, the manager won''t keep you for my sake What Shen Xiangyan didn''t elaborate on was that Liu Ran did have some talent for making incense. Shen An had mentioned this matter to him two or three times, so he was kept. Shen Xiangyan also had a selfish heart. The future development is also good. Liu Ran understood. During his temporary stay in the shop, he had already seen that Xiangzilai''s management was quite different from other shops. Everything was done in accordance with the regulations, and there were rules for rewards and punishments. Compared with other store managers who bullied the subordinates at will, Liu Ran felt that this method was more than a little bit better, so he didn''t mind Shen Xiangyan''s words very much. "Don''t worry, Lord Hou, Liu Ran will definitely live up to Lord Hou''s high expectations." After saying that, he kowtowed again, and Shen Xiangyan sat down and accepted his gift this time. After Shen Xiangyan dismissed these two people, he looked at the accounts again, and saw that it was getting late, so he prepared to get up and go back to Haitang Courtyard. On the way, he met He Xin who was about to look for him. Seeing that his expression was not right, Shen Xiangyan knew that there must be something wrong. He was afraid that something happened to Xia Rong, so he asked before he could open his mouth, "But Zhengjun?" What happened then?" He Xin could tell the priority of the matter clearly, and did not dare to hide it, "The tourmaline who shared the room with Fei Cui told the servant a few days ago that Fei Cui''s recent behavior was a bit suspicious. Now that Zhengjun''s health is in critical condition, the servant would rather I didn¡¯t dare to let it go if I missed it, so I decided to bring a few women to arrest Fei Cui, and found this from her.¡± He said and handed a pack of white medicine powder to Shen Xiangyan. Shen Xiangyan took the package of medicinal powder, "What''s in it? Does Zhengjun know about this?" He Xin didn''t dare to catch his breath at the moment, Master Hou was obviously still the same, but for some reason, he felt chills all over his body, and when he saw Master Hou''s question, he hurriedly replied, "This servant showed this to Dr. Li, Li The doctor said it was Yinyue pollen, and using it several times in a row would cause dystocia, and the cause would not be found out. Zhengjun didn¡¯t know about it yet, and this servant will come to you as soon as he finds out.¡± After hearing He Xin''s words, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t hide the anger in his heart, and said coldly, "Drag them out and beat them until she reveals what is behind the scenes." After Shen Xiangyan gave his orders, he continued to walk towards the Haitang courtyard. He still had to see Rong''er for himself before he could rest assured, and he didn''t know who had the guts to do something to his Rong''er. This is more unbearable than directly attacking him. Unfortunately, the emerald is still used to call out the mastermind behind the scenes, so he can''t directly kill him for the time being. Otherwise, he doesn''t mind learning from Brother Lu to make an example to others. When Xia Rong saw Shen Xiangyan coming in, she groped him left and right, thinking it was the aftereffect of his too much trouble at night recently. Knowing that she was wrong, Xia Rong obediently let her husband go up and down her hands, until his hand was getting lower and lower, and Xia Rong couldn''t bear it anymore and knocked off the troublesome hand. It was still broad daylight. Shen Xiangyan also knew that he had gone too far, grabbed Xia Rong''s hand that had just hit him and kissed it, and said with a smile, "Did the little guy mess with you?" "Today is pretty good, I just kicked me this morning." At that time, Xia Rong''s expression on her belly was very soft and focused, and Shen Xiangyan suddenly felt a little apprehensive. Before this came out, she was robbing him. No, he needs to hire a few more wet nurses, and let them take care of the little one after he is born, but Rong''er belongs to him alone. Thinking that the little guy in his stomach might rob him, Xia Rong asked him to touch his stomach, but only in a perfunctory way. Fortunately, Shen Xiangyan saw He Xin poking in with sharp eyes, and knew that it was Fei Cui who had the result, so he found an excuse to go out, otherwise Xia Rong would be suspicious. "Master Hou, Fei Cui recruited, saying that a steward of the magistrate''s mansion asked her to do this, but she didn''t know who the master was behind the other party. The other party came to her with her sister''s token, saying that it was not what they said If you do what you want, her sister will be finished. Fei Cui has no choice but to act according to the other party''s orders." When He Xin replied, she didn''t dare to look up at all, Master Hou is really terrible now. Shen Xiangyan sneered, he really had an affair with Yezhi County, first it was his nephew, and now he didn''t know who it was, but when he mentioned this, he thought of someone, "How does Fei Cui contact the other party, let Feng Qin go, try to get that The steward made an appointment to arrest him." He Xin quickly understood the meaning of the master, said "yes" and went down. Two days later, Feng Qin was ordered to press the steward who came out for the appointment, and went directly to see the magistrate''s wife. The magistrate''s wife was shocked when she knew the whole story. Knowing that this was Shen Xiangyan returning her favor, he didn''t make the matter worse, otherwise it would be a serious crime to murder Mrs. Kang Ninghou and the future young master. Madam Zhixian knew about this matter, although Shen Xiangyan showed her affection, she had to give him an explanation. At the moment, he was also unambiguous, and directly ordered someone to use torture. The person in charge was just deceived by money, and the peach branch was pushed out in a few strokes. The magistrate''s wife did not expect that such a shameless thing would almost cause the magistrate''s government to suffer along with her. Madam Zhixian made a decisive decision and grabbed Taozhi in front of Feng Qin. Regardless of the other party''s cries, she was beaten heavily and kicked out. Thinking about it, Taozhi was kicked out of the house with serious injuries and penniless, even if he survived, he would not have a good life. And Fei Cui''s younger sister was originally a little girl sent by the county magistrate to serve Taozhi. Ever since Taozhi knew that this little girl had an older sister who lived in the Marquis of Kangning and was serving in Xiarong''s yard, Taozhi started calling her idea. Why is Tao Zhi better than Xia Rong in everything? Master Shen looks down on him, and Xia Rong can''t get what Tao Zhi can''t get. There are so many people of all kinds in the world, it''s so easy to breed jealousy. Feng Qin saw that Madam Magistrate''s treatment was fair, so he didn''t stay any longer, and went back to report his orders. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Xia Rong''s due date soon arrived, and the two of them were eating dinner together when Xia Rong suddenly clutched her stomach and groaned in pain. Shen Xiangyan was taken aback, and hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks to check Xia Rong''s situation, "What''s wrong, Rong''er? If you feel uncomfortable, tell your husband." After finally relieving the pain, Xia Rong''s head was covered with cold sweat, and she grabbed Shen Xiangyan''s sleeve, "Master, I, I seem to be about to give birth." Shen Xiangyan was also anxious when he heard it, and hurriedly shouted for help. Fortunately, the delivery room was already ready, and the five Wen women and Dr. Li also lived in the house. Walk to the delivery room. Shen Xiangyan put the man on the bed in the delivery room, seeing Xia Rong''s pain was severe, his heart ached so much, he took Xia Rong''s hand to comfort him, "Rong''er doesn''t hurt, good boy, my husband is right here, it doesn''t hurt, it doesn''t hurt." When Xia Rong was in pain, Shen Xiangyan stretched out his hand and grasped it. He couldn''t help using his strength, but Shen Xiangyan didn''t dare to pull his hand out, so he could only bear it. The midwives had also arrived at this time, and they were all taken aback when they saw that Lord Hou was still in the delivery room. One of the older ones hurried forward and said, "Master Hou, you should go out, the delivery room is very dirty, you should go out and wait." Right. We are all experienced, we have shown Zhengjun before, the fetal position is very upright, absolutely no problem." Shen Xiangyan was so annoyed to death by these stable women, he didn''t see Rong''er holding his hand and screaming that it hurts, how could he leave at this time, "Don''t worry about Ben Hou, Ben Hou will stay here with Zheng Jun today Come on, hurry up and do your work." The stable women looked at each other in blank dismay. They had seen some self-proclaimed affectionate people in this industry, but they had never seen such a person who didn''t even shy away from this kind of thing. Seeing that Master Hou insisted on this, they didn''t say anything, and got busy with division of labor. With such a big incident, the servants of the entire Hou Mansion are also busy tonight. Those who boiled hot water heated water, and those who laid hands did not work, all of them hoped that Zhengjun would give birth smoothly. Seeing Xia Rong working so hard, Shen Xiangyan wished he could take him to suffer, "Rong''er, good boy, we won''t give birth after giving birth, pay attention to breathing in and exhaling." Xia Rong didn''t hear what Shen Xiangyan was saying clearly during the whole process, but with her husband by her side, Xia Rong still insisted on hearing the cry of the child, and then completely fell asleep. Seeing that Fulang had passed out, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t care less about the newborn baby, so he hurriedly asked Dr. Li to come in. It wasn''t until Dr. Li gave the pulse that Xia Rong was fine and fell asleep only after exhaustion, then he was relieved and remembered the child. This time, Granny Wen has seen what true love is. She said several times that the baby was a boy, but she didn''t see any reaction from Lord Hou. Instead, she only cared about the child''s father all the time. Chapter 57: Shen Xiangyan nervously took the little baby wrapped in soft red cotton cloth from Mrs. Wen''s hands, not daring to use force at all, for fear of accidentally hurting the baby. When the servants saw their new father, Lord Hou holding the child like a hot potato, they all couldn''t help covering their mouths and laughing, and the bold and stable woman pointed out how to hold the child. After some pointers, Shen Xiangyan finally had some meaning in holding the child. Shen Xiangyan''s current mood really can''t be described, the baby in his arms is his own, but the newborn baby is red and wrinkled, so it''s not good to say so. But there was such an inexplicable feeling that Shen Xiangyan was both excited and pleasantly surprised, and secretly sighed that it was worthy of the strong blood involved. "Today, Zhengjun gave birth smoothly, and everyone has contributed, especially Dr. Li and several stable women, each of whom will be rewarded with five taels of silver." When everyone heard that there was a reward for silver, all of them laughed and smiled, thanking them for their kindness . Shen Xiangyan was still thinking about Xia Rong who was sleeping on the bed, and after holding her for a while, he let go of the nannies to carry her down and feed her. He went back to the bed and took the handkerchief from He Miao''s hand and wiped Rong''er''s face and hands. Xia Rong must have been really tired, and no one woke up after he moved like this. Shen Xiangyan kissed Xia Rong''s sweaty forehead distressedly, thinking of the powerlessness he felt when Xia Rong gave birth just now, he couldn''t help feeling more pity for Xia Rong. Thanks to Rong''er''s smooth delivery this time, otherwise he didn''t know what he would do. However, this kind of pain will not be needed in the future, and there is no guarantee that it will be so safe every time. He, Shen Xiangyan, is an eye-opener to have a son. Thinking of this, Shen Xiangyan thought that if he had the opportunity, he would ask Dr. Li for a child-avoiding medicine that he could drink. After all, this thing is not good for health, how could he rest assured? Let Xia Rong drink. In Xia Rong''s sleep, he dreamed of that small courtyard with only square sky. He was the only one in the courtyard. He was leaning on the only small tree in the courtyard. Was he lonely? He didn''t know if that kind of life could be called lonely. Looking up at the sky outside the courtyard, inexplicably he could feel that something was waiting for him outside the courtyard, he shouldn''t be here. By the way, he nodded and agreed to marry for Xia Tian, ??so how could he still be in this small courtyard. From the moment she got on the bridal sedan chair to the scenes experienced by the Shen family, she passed by in a flash. She thought she was just marrying a sick child who would not live long, but who would have thought that she would meet a sweetheart that is hard to find in the world? Husband. When Xia Rong saw the scene in front of him clearly again, a man whose back was familiar was holding his hand and running forward. Along the way, Xia Rong wondered who this man was pulling him. Fascinated by the thought, she staggered, the moment the man turned around, Xia Rong smiled, that familiar face was the husband who had always doted on him and loved him. "Rong''er, are you awake?" Xia Rong opened her eyes, and a face that was exactly the same as in the dream was magnified several times before her eyes. Although Meng woke up, Xia Rong was as lucky as countless times. When Mrs. Xia asked him to prepare to marry her, she didn''t make a fuss but resigned to her fate and got into the sedan chair, otherwise she would have missed this precious love to him for no reason. Treasure man. "Don''t move, what do you want, my husband will help you." Seeing that her husband was about to move around just after waking up, Shen Xiangyan was afraid that he would hurt her again, so he hurriedly put a pillow on his back, and helped him half-sit up. For a long while, Xia Rong didn''t say what he wanted. Shen Xiangyan looked at Xia Rong with some doubts, and found that he had been staring at his face, and said helplessly, "What''s the matter, you''ve been staring at me? Could it be that my husband is too handsome? Why, let Rong''er not see enough for so long?" Xia Rong saw that Xianggong was losing his mind again, and glared at him reproachfully. Thinking of the newborn child, Xia Rong couldn''t help asking, "Msister, is the baby a boy or a girl?" Shen Xiangyan smiled and patted Xia Rong''s head, "It''s a boy who looks like you, I''ll let the nanny carry the child here for you to see." Then he ordered He Miao to bring the child. Xia Rong was really happy to take the small ball of steamed stuffed buns. This is his and Xianggong''s child. Because the Shen family has always been small in number, Xia Rong had long wanted to leave a son for the Shen family, and this time it was a boy, which is really a good thing. "Rong''er, how about calling the baby Chaomu?" Shen Xiangyan looked at the father and son on the bed with unprecedented warmth in his eyes. "Chaomu, Shen Chaomu, it sounds nice, but why is it called this?" Xia Rong asked a little puzzled. Shen Xiangyan smiled ambiguously, wrapped his arms around Xia Rong''s neck, and pressed a kiss on his lips, "Of course it''s Mu Jun Chao Chao and Mu Mu." Seeing that Rong''er''s face blushed quickly, this The child is the witness of his relationship with Rong''er, he wants this relationship to last forever, there is no better name than this. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª On the day when Shen Chaomu grasped the Zhou ceremony, the Kangninghou Mansion held a grand banquet, and everyone in Furong Town was proud to receive invitations from the Kangninghou Mansion. Xia Rong dressed up Shen Chaomu early in the morning, and a whole year later, the wrinkled little baby had already grown up, and the milk doll carved with jade was very lovable. There is no one who doesn''t like this child after seeing him, and his affairs are the most important thing in the house. Shen Xiangyan saw that Xia Rong had gone to take a bath and changed clothes, so he picked up the rattle on the bed and teased his son. Xiao Chaomu is very smart, with eyes that resemble Xia Rong''s seven centimeters, he stares straight at the rattle, and will stretch out his chubby little hands to grab it when he is teased hard. Shen Xiangyan''s father is also really bad, he just doesn''t let the little guy reach the rattle, every time he misses it by a little bit, and it doesn''t take long for Xiao Chaomu to sniff his nose and look like he''s about to cry. It just so happened that Xia Rong came out of the bath, and saw this scene as expected, which made his heart ache as a father. He went up to hug his son and patted him, "Don''t cry at Chao Chao, be good." Complaining about her husband, "You too, my husband, why do you keep bullying him, I''m going to cry again." Shen Xiangyan rubbed his nose in embarrassment, Chao Chao was Shen Chaomu''s nickname, he didn''t mean it, who told this **** to not be teased, he used this trick every time, he obviously didn''t do anything, just dropped the golden beans. As soon as he dropped the golden beans, he would be scolded by his husband. Seeing Xia Rong hugging Chao Mu and coaxing him softly, it''s no wonder Shen Xiangyan isn''t jealous, leaving him as a lord is not flattering, insisting on whispering to that brat. Shen Xiangyan coughed softly, "Okay, he''s a boy, don''t get too used to him. He Xin, I didn''t see that Zhengjun''s hair is still wet, so quickly take the little master away." It''s not surprising that there are too many such things, He Xin didn''t say much, and took the little master from Zhengjun''s hand with a smile. Shen Xiangyan fawningly picked up a cloth towel and wiped Xia Rong''s hair, "Rong''er, come on, you will get sick if your hair is wet, my husband will dry it for you." Seeing that Chao Chao didn''t continue to cry after being picked up by He Xin, Xia Rong felt relieved. Seeing that Rong''er''s eyes were full of that brat, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t help complaining, "Rong''er, you are not allowed to stare at other men." Apart from the big man Shen Xiangyan, the room was full of servants and maids. Xia Rong had to react for a long time before realizing under Shen Xiangyan''s gesture that the other men in Xianggong''s mouth were referring to their sons, and suddenly said dumbfounded, "Our son is only so old, how come he has become a man, and you, too, Xianggong, even You will eat our son''s vinegar." "He was also a boy when he was young, and today he is one year old. We discussed it before. It''s time for him to be independent. Don''t let him sleep with us at night." God knows how he got here this year Yes, at first Xia Rong''s body hadn''t recovered yet, so he recognized it. Not long after, I heard from the nanny that her son was looking for him in the middle of the night, and she insisted on taking Xiao Chaomu into their room to sleep, and Xia Rong would not let him touch her with the child. Pity him, a big man with a lot of vigor, he hasn''t succeeded a few times in a whole year, and the resentment in his head is about to materialize. When Xia Rong heard this, she also knew that there was no room for change. Although she was still a little bit reluctant to give up on her son, but thinking of the hard work of the husband this year, she really couldn''t say the words of rejection, so she had no choice but to acquiesce to the decision of the husband. After Xia Rong''s hair was finally dried, the little girl outside came to say that almost all the guests had arrived. Shen Xiangyan looked at the time and it was indeed time to go out, so he quickly took the upper half of her hair and gave it to Xia Rong. The hair was combed into a bun, and the hair underneath was allowed to hang naturally. Xia Rong looked at herself in the mirror, and was very satisfied with Mr. Xianggong''s combing skills. Once this hairstyle came out, his whole temperament changed. When the two carried their children to the flower hall for entertaining guests, the hall was already full of people. The various items for catching the week have also been placed, just waiting for Shen Chaomu to go up and pick them out later. Today, Gu Chen also came here with his twin son Lu Yunshuang in his arms. Xiao Chaomu grinned when he saw Xiao Shuang''er from a distance, and began to be dishonest while lying in Xia Rong''s arms, "babbling" The obvious meaning was to ask Xia Rong to take him to Xiao Shuang''er. Shen Xiangyan also noticed this, patted his son''s butt, and cursed with a smile, "You little pervert, you know you''re attached to Brother Shuang''er at such a young age, you''ll be fine when you grow up." Chapter 58: Seeing that his son insisted on looking for Xiao Shuang''er, Xia Rong, who dotes on the child, naturally didn''t want to upset his son because of such a trivial matter, not to mention that he also liked Xiao Shuang''er from Big Brother Gu''s family very much. "Brother Gu, since you''re here today, stay here for a few days before you go back. Chao Chao also misses Xiao Shuang''er, so it''s time for the children to play together." He Xin saw that it was inconvenient for the masters to hold their children, So they called a few little girls and laid a cushion in a corner of the flower hall so that the two little guys could play on it. Gu Chen was amused by Xiao Chaomu''s act of rushing towards his family Shuang''er to kiss him as soon as he saw him, and said with a smile, "Then respect is worse than obedience, Tingsheng and I have been quarreling here for a few days." Xia Rong also saw the embarrassing side of her son, and wondered in her heart, who exactly does this child look like. But as a father, he has done everything he can. Since his son likes it, it is still possible to let them cultivate and cultivate their relationship since childhood. I think Brother Gu also has the same mentality as him. As for deciding whether to have a baby or not, the two families also have a tacit understanding. If the two children grow up, it''s better to be like this, and it''s best to let nature take its course. But if they only have brotherhood when they grow up, then there is no restriction of marriage contract and it will not affect the relationship between the two families. The two chatted for a while, and the auspicious time came. Everyone also gathered together to prepare for the Zhou Catch Ceremony. On the long table covered with red silk cloth, there were all kinds of items. In addition to the conventional pens, inks, papers and inkstones, abacus coins, account books, jewelry, and rouge, there were also Onions, which symbolize wisdom, and garlic, which symbolizes good calculations, and so on. Li Dongsheng also jokingly put a seal representing Zhuyuexuan''s owner on it. There were two seals, and he and Shen Xiangyan each held one. Ever since Shen Xiangyan became Marquis of Kangning, Zhuyuexuan didn''t deliberately hide that Shen Xiangyan was also the owner behind him. With the support of the Marquis of Kangning, Zhuyuexuan naturally also opened many branches, and the business was booming. The trend is getting better and better. When Xiao Chaomu was picked up and placed on the table, she was still a little unhappy, and finally saw Brother Shuang''er, and he hadn''t played enough with Brother Shuang''er. But when he was about to lose his temper, he was attracted by various small things on the table. Seeing that his son was the first to bear the brunt, he grabbed a book and turned a few pages, and Shen Xiangyan thought, this is a test of merit, maybe he can become an official if he is lucky. Before he could continue to think about it, he saw the brat holding a book and picking up a small bow. Maybe he thought the bow was not fun, so he threw it aside after looking at it, and hugged the book in his arms. Continue to climb forward, and finally stop in front of a piece of fragrant cake, which is a new fragrance type released by Xiangzilai this year. It is made of high-quality spices and dozens of processes, and is very popular among ladies and ladies. Shen Xiangyan was quite relieved, he took the book and the incense, isn''t this the same as grasping with both hands. From now on, he will be knowledgeable and able to inherit his family business. Not bad, not bad, when Shen Xiangyan was about to pretend to go up to pick up his son and praise him, he saw Xiao Chaomu holding up the piece of fragrant cake and babbling "Shuang''er, Xiangxiang" and crawling to the other side go. When Shen Xiangyan looked at the direction the child was crawling in, he felt a mouthful of old blood in his chest, this bear son was going to give the fragrant cakes to Lu Yunshuang, he knew how to please his future wife at such a young age, but he didn''t know who he looked like. Shen Chaomu didn''t know what his father was thinking, he just thought it was fragrant, and it smelled like Brother Shuang''er''s body, and if it was given to Brother Shuang''er, he would definitely like it. It turned out that Gu Chen used exactly this kind of spice, and Lu Yunshuang was hugged by him, so it must have smelled of him. Everyone laughed when they saw this scene, and the clever one also started to talk about auspiciousness. Xia Rong tugged on Shen Xiangyan''s sleeve, and Shen Xiangyan calmed down to entertain everyone and announced the opening of the banquet. After the banquet, Xia Tian suddenly called Xia Rong who was about to go back to the backyard. Only then did Xia Rong notice Xia Tian, ??and He Xin and He Miao saw that it was Xia Tian, ??so they were busy and nervous to protect Zhengjun. Seeing that Xia Xia didn''t look like he was trying to trouble him as usual, Xia Rong stopped the two servants. He learned from the Xianggong that Xia Tian has been living unsatisfactorily for these years, and now the head of the Zhang family is not his serious wife, but a concubine named Mu Rou. Looking at the summer that had lost its pride in the past, Xia Rong couldn''t tell what it was like, so she took the initiative to ask, "Is Mrs. Zhang looking for something?" "Brother Rong, I know that my mother and I did many things wrong in the past, but can you help me because we are relatives after all. You also know how I am in the Zhang family. That Zhang Ningyu is not at all. Treating me like a wife, I really can''t bear it, and want to reconcile with him." She had no other choice, and if she stayed in Zhang''s house, she would go crazy, so she was forced to put down her face and beg Xia Rong. Xia Rong was also a little surprised when she heard this. Although Feng Yuguo is considered open, such things as reconciliation and separation are still uncommon. Xia Rong thought for a while and asked, "Reconciliation is a big deal, have you talked to Mr. Xia? Besides, I can''t help you with this kind of thing." Seeing that Xia Rong didn''t want to help, Xia Tian became anxious, "You don''t know what father can do. If I tell him that I want to reconcile, he will definitely not agree for the sake of face. Brother Rong, you just need to ask Lord Hou to come forward." Just say something for me, I came here to beg you because I had no other way out. I, can I kneel down for you?" As she spoke, she really wanted to kneel. Xia Rong had never seen such a low-key Xia Xia before, but she didn''t dare to make her kneel down, and hurriedly supported her, Xia Rong sighed and said, "I can only try at most, but it may not be successful." Although The Xia family didn''t fulfill the responsibility of raising him, but after all they gave him a place to live, and he helped this time, it can be regarded as repaying the Xia family''s kindness. Seeing that Xia Rong agreed, Xia Rong didn''t care whether he said to try or not, and just regarded it as a matter. Now that the matter has been finished, Xia Rong doesn''t stay any longer, and is going to take He Xin and He Miao back to look for Brother Gu. If Xiao Shuang''er is here, Chao Chao must be with him. Looking at the back of Xia Rong walking away in Xia Tian, ??it took a long time to come back to his senses. If he hadn''t regretted the marriage back then, and he was the one who married Shen Xiangyan, wouldn''t everything be the same? What a scene. At night, after Xia Rong watched her son fall asleep, she reluctantly handed the child over to the nanny, and asked her to take Chao Chao to sleep next door. After the son was taken away, Xia Rong and Shen Xiangyan talked about Xia begging him after the banquet. Seeing Xia Rong looking at him anxiously, Shen Xiangyan kissed the corner of his mouth in a funny way and said, "It''s not difficult, it''s just a matter of one sentence. I just hope that you, a sister-in-law, will grow up in the future, and don''t talk about it after this." Come and provoke my Rong''er." Otherwise, if you can push her into the fire pit once, you can push her a second time. Although they have children, such an intimate behavior still makes Xia Rong a little embarrassed, "I think she has really suffered a lot in the Zhang family, so she probably won''t behave like before." Shen Xiangyan nodded Xia Rong''s nose, "You, but speaking of it, Chen Cai came to beg me again a few days ago. I thought he had been waiting for He Miao for so many years, and we should find time to deal with the two of them. Yes. If you are reluctant to part with He Miao, let him come to serve you after he gets married." After all, He Miao was used by Xia Rong, so he stayed for a few more years, and he worked hard without credit. When Shen Xiangyan mentioned this, Xia Rong also nodded in agreement, and it was up to him to give him more dowry. "Okay, Rong''er, we''ve finished talking about other people''s affairs. It''s not easy for that brat to move out. What''s more, you should compensate my husband and me. Don''t you want to be my husband?" Shen Xiangyan was still thinking when he saw Xia Rong How could he give in to other people''s affairs? As he spoke, he touched Xia Rong in the place below which he couldn''t wait for. How could these miscellaneous matters be delayed on such a good night. Having not been close for many days, Xia Rongzi also wanted to be a husband, but how dare she say it out loud. Looking at Gu Shaohuo in Xianggong''s eyes, Xia Rong blushed and boldly reached out to undo Shen Xiangyan''s belt. Shen Xiangyan was also a little surprised at Xia Rong''s initiative, but it was clearly the rhythm of delivering food to his door. The corner of Shen Xiangyan''s mouth curled up, and he quickly changed from passive to active, pushing Xia Rong down on the bed. explain. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The next day, early in the morning, on the big sandalwood bed, two people sleeping together with their naked bodies entangled with each other were woken up by the sound of knocking on the door and the sound of a baby crying at the same time. Xia Rong rubbed her eyes as if she hadn''t woken up, she didn''t wake up until she heard the cry of the child, she hurriedly pushed the husband who was holding him tightly, "Sister, go and see if it''s Chao Chao , Zhao Chao seems to be crying." With her delicate body in his arms, Shen Xiangyan didn''t want to wake up at all, and cursed in a low voice, "You little bastard." Even so, he put on a coat and got up to open the door. The nanny outside the door was holding the child with a troubled expression on her face, she thought she had no choice but to knock on the door. Seeing Master Hou coming out in disheveled clothes, the nanny didn''t dare to look around, so she just lowered her head and saluted, "Master Hou, my little master has been crying since he woke up in the morning, and he couldn''t be coaxed. Jun, do you see?" It wasn''t the nanny''s fault either, Shen Xiangyan didn''t make it difficult for the nanny when he took Xiao Chaomu, and waved her off. Shen Xiangyan pinched Xiao Chaomu''s tear-stained face, "You don''t worry, I managed to hug your father, and you don''t know how to save my worry." Xiao Chaomu was in a bit of pain from being pinched, and suddenly she cried louder because of her grievances. While crying, she slurred and said, "Daddy, hug me, it''s bad." When Shen Xiangyan heard this, his face turned dark immediately, and he would usually refuse to speak no matter how much he coaxed him, but now he knew he was suing. I just wanted to scare him and tell him to shut up. Seeing Rong''er walking out with only a middle coat on, Shen Xiangyan looked at his son, his head grew dizzy for a moment, Rong''er must have heard what the brat said just now. As soon as Xia Rong came over, she saw the husband pinching his son''s face. The son was crying so sadly, and he was still calling for his father. This made him feel bad, so he didn''t look at Shen Xiangyan''s apologetic smile, picked up his son and walked into the house. Shen Xiangyan laughed dryly, touched his nose and followed fate resignedly. The warm golden morning light shone into the house through the window. Shen Xiangyan leaned against the door frame and looked at the big and small people in the room. Xia Rong''s soothing words reached Shen Xiangyan''s ears. Compared with being alone at that time and now, there is an illusion that those in the previous life were just a dream. Shen Xiangyan smiled, picked up the coat on the hanger at the side, and walked towards Xia Rong and Xiao Chaomu. Everything in the world has a destiny, and his destiny is here. The place where there is Rong''er is where Shen Xiangyan should be. (over) Chapter 59: When Shen Chaomu was fifteen years old, he had already taken over most of the family''s business under the persecution of Lord Shen Hou. Over the past ten years, the properties in the hands of the Kangning Hou Mansion are not limited to the original Xiangzilai and Zhuyuexuan, but also involve many other places. Divide the profit, add up all kinds of zeros and zeros, and the industry accumulated by the Kangning Mansion in a short period of more than ten years is not insignificant. In contrast, as the head of the Kangninghou Mansion, the daily accounts that have to be dealt with are also increasing day by day. Shen Houye had long been impatient with handling these affairs, and when Shen Chaomu finally grew up, he was so impatient that he gave up his job and just took care of taking his wife to visit the mountains and rivers all day long. Not long ago, the two of them came back from staying at Prince Rong''s residence in the capital, and Shen Chaomu sat in the study and was immersed in dealing with affairs while thinking about his little Shuang''er. After the new year, Xiao Shuang''er will be sixteen, and the two of them have indeed grown up as childhood sweethearts. Although in recent years, because the two have grown older, they have not seen each other as much as when they were young, but he has already identified Xiao Shuang''er. is his man. Shen Chaomu picked up the pen and didn''t write a word for a long time. Thinking of Xiao Shuang''er''s attitude recently, he felt that there was something wrong no matter what he thought. His family Shuang''er is indeed not easy to approach in front of outsiders, but she has always been delicate and tender in front of him. Every time he asks Lu Yunqi to send gifts, Lu Yunshuang will return him some small sachets and small fans. Category. Why last time he managed to find a good red silk inkstone and sent it over, not only did Shuang''er not return the gift, but also returned the inkstone. Could it be that he doesn''t like this gift? It''s not right. He clearly mentioned that he wanted the red silk inkstone before. The more Shen Chaomu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Thinking that Lu Yunshuang''s change seemed to have changed since his parents went to Lu''s house as a guest, Shen Chaomu He became a little restless, he had to ask Lu Yunqi to ask him about it. Lu Yunqi is Lu Yunshuang''s younger brother, three years younger than Yunshuang. When Yunqi was born, Uncle Gu was really happy. After Shen Chaomu and Lu Yunshuang grew up, Lu Yunqi became a little matchmaker for the two to pass letters and objects, but this matchmaker only needs to be paid for doing things. In the private room on the second floor of Mingyue Building, 12-year-old Lu Yunqi came in wearing a bamboo-green brocade robe with scattered flowers, sweating profusely, and pushed the door, "Brother Shen, are you looking for me?" He must have benefits, how could he have a bad attitude. Seeing his sweating profusely, Shen Chaomu frowned, motioned the people around him to pour Lu Yunqi a cup of herbal tea, watched him drink it, and then asked, "Where are all the servants who followed you? You, master, go out for a stroll by yourself." Yun Qi was only twelve years old, and it was the time when he was innocent and easy to deceive, so it would be shameful for him to come out without anyone following him. Lu Yunqi drank a cup of herbal tea and then heaved a sigh of relief, stuck out his tongue and said, "The group of useless things are too slow, I just ran over on horseback." Seeing that Big Brother Shen was about to lose his temper, Lu Yunqi quickly flattered him, " Brother Shen, don¡¯t talk about me, I will definitely pay attention next time, Brother Shen, let¡¯s talk about what¡¯s going on between you and my brother, you must be looking for me for this, right?¡± Hearing Lu Yunqi mention his brother Lu Yunshuang, Shen Chaomu swallowed the words he wanted to reprimand. Uncle Lu has such a gentle temper, so I don''t know who this kid followed, and his temper is so impatient. Since this kid brought it up first, he has nothing to hide, "Did something happen to your brother? You also know that your brother confiscated the things I asked you to deliver last time. I always feel that this is a bit strange." Lu Yunqi stared at Shen Chaomu for a long time, seeing that Shen Chaomu was still caring about his brother as always, he sighed, and said that this was impossible, Brother Shen obviously cared so much about his brother. Seeing that Lu Yunqi was just staring at him, Shen Chaomu sighed and took a fan and hit him on the head, "I said you boy, if you have something to say, hurry up." Lu Yunqi was not annoyed, he rubbed his head and said, "The last time Uncle Shen came to my house, he said that the little princess of Prince Rong''s mansion was arguing to marry you, it seems that Uncle Shen meant to accept this marriage, yes, It¡¯s not that my brother was very sad after hearing this, and I told him Brother Shen that you are not that kind of person, but my brother still refused to believe it.¡± The tea in Shen Chaomu''s mouth almost didn''t come out, and he knew it was his father cheating him again, "The little princess in Prince Rong''s mansion is arguing to marry me, but that girl is only six years old this year, and she is arguing to marry me." You were only four years old when you married me. No, you can find time to ask your brother out, and I have to explain to him face to face." Well, his little Shuang''er was so bold that he believed the words of his father who was only cheating on his son, but he didn''t. He has a heart for him. How dare he get into an awkward fight with him over this matter, seeing that he turned around and met someone, so as not to let his good Shuang''er have a long memory. Lu Yunqi saw that Big Brother Shen was smiling so wickedly across the table, so he silently lit a candle for his brother. Let''s just say, elder brother Shen sees what his elder brother sees and what is right, he has already locked his brother into his own territory, and everyone knows how to protect the calf, but his elder brother is in the middle of the game without knowing it. Lu Yunqi has always been a real person, not to mention his brother marrying Shen Chaomu would be the best. The Shen family has a good family background, and the point is that Brother Shen is a good person, "Brother Shen, this busy little brother will definitely help you, but, that''s it... "After speaking, he giggled. The corner of Shen Chaomu''s mouth twitched, he picked up the fan and tapped him again, "That''s right, what are you looking for again, fifty taels is enough." Saying that, he asked the people around him to give him fifty taels of silver. Lu Yunqi has a hobby. He likes to raise birds. From time to time, he will fall in love with one or two, but the better the species, the higher the price. His monthly money is only ten taels of silver, so it is impossible to buy birds. Over the years, all the money he got from Shen Chaomu has been used to buy those birds. "Brother Shen, you know me well. Not long ago, I saw a blue robin again. Its voice is really amazing. I have asked someone to keep it for me. Let me ask my brother to come out, and I will know Mingxiang Pavilion when I was a child, I will definitely complete the task." After saying that, he ran away with fifty taels of silver. Shen Chaomu looked at his anxious look, and motioned to the people around him, "Send someone to follow Master Qi, don''t make any mistakes." The people around him are all people who were trained by Lord Shen many years ago, and they are all very skilled. After so many years, their Kangning Hou Mansion also has its own team. Apart from some kung fu, these people are proficient in one or two other things. Except for those who follow the three masters in the mansion, the others are sent to various branches. With these people around, it was very convenient to do things, and Shen Chaomu had to sigh for his father''s foresight. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª In the Mingxiang Pavilion on the second day, Shen Chaomu came over early and waited. Speaking of which, the last time the two of them met was three months ago, and I don''t know what happened to his family Shuang''er. Thinking of the situation when he went to complain to his father last night, the corners of his mouth couldn''t help twitching. What did his father say, it was a disguised form of helping him. He also told him not to forget to thank him after marrying his wife. How can there be such a father, his father is the same, his father said what, and before he could say a few words, he became intimate in front of his son, treating him as dead. When Weishi was about to arrive, he heard the sound of a carriage downstairs, Shen Chaomu raised the window, and saw the signboard of Lu''s family hanging on the carriage downstairs, the first one to jump off was undoubtedly Lu Yunqi. Then a slender hand of jade white lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Shen Chaomu''s heart beat two beats faster with the appearance of that hand. The next thing that stretched out was a crescent white embroidered shoe with lotus leaf patterns embroidered with green silk thread, followed by brocade shirts of the same style, until the face that was three points more delicate than in memory was revealed, and Shen Chaomu didn''t turn back Come on. I haven''t seen him for three months, and his Shuang''er seems to have grown taller and more handsome. Looking at Shuang''er''s icy face, Shen Chaomu felt as if a cat''s paw had scratched his heart, how lively that face was in private, how attractive it is now. Lu Yunqi sent Lu Yunshuang to the door of the private room and said with a smile, "Brother, you go ahead and wait for me. I forgot something, so I''ll be right back." Lu Yunshuang frowned slightly, and became more determined in his heart. He said why his younger brother had to drag him out today. Thinking that every time Shen Chaomu wanted to see him, it was this little brother who set the thread, so he couldn''t help feeling sour. That person was destined not to be his, so what if he met him. "Hey! Brother, don''t go, I was wrong, can''t I be wrong? Brother Shen is still waiting for you inside, you can talk about it after you meet." Lu Yunqi saw his brother standing at the door of the private room and didn''t go in. He turned around and wanted to leave, knowing that this was not a good thing, he hurriedly grabbed Lu Yunshuang by the hem of his clothes to beg for mercy. How could Lu Yunshuang compromise and go in, the two were tugging at the door, when they heard a "squeak", the private room door was pushed open from the inside. Lu Yunshuang was attracted by the sound, and when she looked over, she saw Shen Chaomu standing at the door with a dark face. For some reason, she just felt better not seeing her. Lu Yunshuang, who thought her decision was right, suddenly felt a little guilty. Shen Chaomu glanced at the dumbfounded Lu Yunshuang, and gave orders in an unquestionable tone, "Shuang''er, come in." Seeing that Big Brother Shen seemed to be angry, Lu Yunqi let go of his hand that was still holding onto Lu Yunshuang''s clothes in a disrespectful manner, and laughed twice, "Brother, Big Brother Shen called you, um, that little brother will go first , I''ll come back to pick you up in an hour, that''s the deal." Then Lu Yunshuang slipped away without waiting for Lu Yunshuang''s reaction. Seeing her little brother running so fast, Lu Yunshuang felt that the villain in her heart was going to grab him and shoot him to death. She looked up at Shen Chaomu and looked at him with a cold face. She sighed in her heart, and followed her in resignedly. private room. Shen Chaomu saw that Lu Yunshuang was very reserved when he came in, and he didn''t talk to him. He returned to the main seat and only concentrated on fiddling with the tea set in front of the table to make tea, but the corners of his mouth turned up when Lu Yunshuang didn''t see it. three points. If we talk about heredity, Shen Chaomu is indeed Shen Xiangyan''s son, he has a bit of bad taste in his bones, but Shen Xiangyan''s bad taste is used on his son, but Shen Chaomu wants to play tricks on his little Shuang''er from time to time. Lu Yunshuang was so wronged that she was going to die. It was obvious that this heartless man was going to marry someone else, and he was so cruel to him. She didn''t know what to do with him today. If you want to marry the princess, don''t come to him. It made Lu Yunshuang sit still No, it''s not right to leave, I can only stand there stupidly. After making a pot of tea, Shen Chaomu poured a cup for Lu Yunshuang, then raised his head and said, "Shuang''er, what are you doing standing up, come and sit." Lu Yunshuang pursed her lips, but still couldn''t resist someone''s **** and sat down obediently. Shen Chaomu looked at him with a smile in his heart, but still said lightly on his face, "Why didn''t you come in just now? Why haven''t you seen me for three months, and you don''t miss me at all." Shen Chaomu still felt a little regretful, if it wasn''t for his cheating father, little Shuang''er hadn''t seen him for three months, so she must be happily hugging his neck at this moment, playing coquettishly, asking him why she didn''t go to him for three months. Lu Yunshuang held the cup tighter and tighter, complaining in her heart that it wasn''t you, it was all because of you. Seeing that Shen Chaomu still had a calm expression on his face, Lu Yunshuang finally couldn''t help but burst out, "You''re going to marry someone else, why are you here looking for me?" Shen Chaomu''s heart skipped a beat, knowing that it was broken, he was so excited about it, he hurried forward and hugged the heartbroken big baby. Lifting the chin of the man in his arms, he saw a pair of red rabbit eyes without any suspense, and sighed softly, "Why can''t you trust me." After speaking, regardless of Lu Yunshuang''s eyes widening suddenly, she leaned over and kissed her. The soft lips that I have thought about for a long time. "Hmm..." Lu Yunshuang''s mind went blank for a moment, and when she realized it, she was already hugged by Shen Chaomu on her lap. Lu Yunshuang''s entire face was blushing, and she tried to struggle, but found that she was hugged so tightly that she couldn''t move. . Lu Yunshuang was in a hurry, this man didn''t want to marry him, he wanted to hug him and take advantage of him, so Lu Yunshuang bit Shen Chaomu''s shoulder cruelly and bit down. It was summer at this time, and it was hot, so people were wearing light clothes, and Lu Yunshuang didn''t have any strength to eat it. Shen Chaomu groaned in pain, but seeing Lu Yunshuang''s face about to cry or not, he still felt distressed, and finally said helplessly, "My little ancestor, let''s calm down this time." Seeing that Shen Chaomu had really been bitten, Lu Yunshuang felt a little distressed, but then she thought that this person would have nothing to do with her in the future, and felt sorry for what he did. Shen Chaomu looked at Lu Yunshuang''s swollen face with a funny face, and kissed that face again, because he grew up together, Shen Chaomu did this kind of stealing very easily, "Why, I''m afraid I married that little princess, Don''t want you?" "If you still dare to say it, you know how to bully people." Lu Yunshuang greeted Shen Chaomu''s chest with her small fists that were not for nothing when she saw that Shen Chaomu still dared to mention it. "Oh, it''s not jealous." Shen Chaomu knew he couldn''t be funny and explained, "The little princess is only as high as my knees. It turns out that Shuang''er loves me so much, you want to eat a child''s jealousy." Lu Yunshuang stared at Shen Chaomu with wide eyes, as if to confirm whether what he said was true. Recalling Lord Shen''s expression when he said this, and the way Mrs. Hou covered her mouth and smiled, Lu Yunshuang felt that she was going to lose face this time, how could he be fooled so easily. "Oh, I''m so sad. My Shuang''er doesn''t even believe me. You don''t know my father. You can believe whatever he says. Oh, I finally asked Brother Qi for help, but you still don''t want to see me." I learned from his father, when his father was angry, his father would pretend to be good, and he often used this trick, and every time he could make Xiao Shuang''er fall into the bait. Sure enough, Lu Yunshuang was ashamed by Shen Chaomu''s words, remembering that she had bitten and hit her just now, and Zhao Chao didn''t get angry with him for being so unreasonable, she stroked the place where he had just bitten with her small hand, and whispered, "Does Chaochao still hurt? I''m sorry Well, me, I was wrong, you can punish me however you want, don''t be angry with me." Shen Chaomu saw that Xiao Shuang''er had admitted his mistake, but he still deserved to be punished, so he slapped the little **** of the person in his arms with seven points of force, and said viciously, "Do you dare to listen to other people''s words in the future?" Lu Yunshuang clutched her sore buttocks, and said aggrievedly, "Don''t dare to do it anymore." After finishing speaking, she turned her head arrogantly, not wanting to talk to this bad guy who knew he was taking advantage of him. Shen Chaomu hugged the small body in his arms even tighter and said, "Shuang''er, you are growing up too, I will ask daddy to come to your house to propose marriage when I go back today, okay?" After experiencing the previous oolong, Lu Yunshuang really worried about gains and losses for a long time, and it was not until after listening to Shen Chaomu''s explanation that he felt better. Now that Shen Chaomu said that he was going to his house to propose marriage, Lu Yunshuang should have been shy and refused to reply, but seeing Shen Chaomu who was getting more and more beautiful in front of him, a voice in Lu Yunshuang told him, promise him, promise him, from now on he will be Your husband is gone. In the end, Lu Yunshuang still nodded with a blushing face, which was regarded as her consent. Shen Chaomu was calm, after all he was still a young man in his teens, he was very happy to see his sweetheart nodding in agreement to the marriage, and secretly decided to talk to his father about it tonight. The two of them were sticking together for a while, and it seemed that the time was about the same. Then Shen Chaomu arranged the clothes of the two of them very reluctantly, kissed Lu Yunshuang''s forehead again and said, "Shuang''er, go back and wait for me to marry you to come in." , and that red silk inkstone, didn¡¯t you say you liked it earlier, I¡¯ll get someone to send it to you.¡± Lu Yunshuang also thought of the inkstone from before, and tugged on Shen Chaomu''s sleeve in favor, "Enen, I liked that inkstone very much before, you don''t even know how determined I was to confiscate your gift, Zhao Chaomu Go back and get someone to bring it to me." Shen Chaomu held his forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You, it''s almost time, Yun Qi should be waiting outside. I''ll take you to the door, so I won''t accompany you down." When they meet in private, it''s best not to let others know. Otherwise, it would not be good for Shuang''er''s reputation. When he opened the door, Lu Yunqi was already waiting at the door. Lu Yunshuang also saw her younger brother who had been waiting outside, so she followed them away without turning her head. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª After Shen Chaomu sent Lu Yunshuang off, he went back to the mansion without going back to his own yard and went directly to the Haitang yard. Just in time when Lord Shen went to Li''s house and hadn''t come back, he told Xia Rong about his marriage proposal. Seeing his son''s dusty appearance, Xia Rong guessed that the child must have come directly after begging Yunshuang to nod, so she smiled and patted her son''s hand and said, "Don''t blame your father, he is also a Good intentions, it''s because Yunshuang seems to be sixteen, you are not in a hurry, you didn''t make it clear when you spoke, and Yunshuang misunderstood." Shen Chaomu laughed twice, his father''s kindness should not come again, he couldn''t stand it. Looking at the time, his father was coming back soon, and Shen Chaomu begged his father again, telling him to go to propose marriage soon, and then hurried back to his yard. If his jealous father saw that he was still pestering his father at such a late hour, maybe he would make some trouble for him. Seeing that her son was so afraid of Shen Xiangyan coming back to harm him, Xia Rong couldn''t help but tease the father and son to He Xin, who was waiting by her side. He Xin could be considered to have watched Shen Chaomu grow up, and echoed, "Our Lord Hou doesn''t say anything, but he still loves the little master in his heart." Xia Rong nodded. After all, they are father and son, so there must be feelings. When Shen Xiangyan came in, he saw that the master and servant were chatting happily. He stepped forward to hug his husband and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about with He Xin? You are smiling so happily." After so many years, Shen Xiangyan still took Xia Rong As the child who married him when he was a teenager, he hugged and kissed him every time. Xia Rong put her arms around her husband''s neck familiarly, and told him about her son''s coming to beg him just now, "I think Chao Chao is really in a hurry this time, and I have already promised him to go to Lu''s house to give it to him when he comes back to pick an auspicious day." proposed marriage." Shen Xiangyan turned people upside down and said triumphantly, "Look, without my behind-the-scenes efforts, how could he suddenly think of proposing marriage? He also doesn''t see that Shuang''er will be sixteen next year. If we don''t propose marriage again, neither will the Lu family." It¡¯s not easy to explain.¡± "Yes, yes, what you said is the most correct, Mr. Xia Rong." Xia Rong put her forehead on Mrs.''s forehead and said perfunctorily. She can also use a normal method to help her son. If he insists on doing this, his son will be anxious. "Time flies so fast, it''s been more than ten years in a blink of an eye, and our son is going to marry a wife." Xia Rong couldn''t help sighing. "No, but even after another ten or twenty years, my husband, I still love my Rong''er so much." Shen Xiangyan pulled out a hand and touched Xia Rong''s head, begging silently in his heart, begging God to open it again Now, let him meet his Rong''er in the next life, in the next life, hold him in the palm of his hand, pet him, love him, and cherish him. Chapter 60: Shen Xiangyan was driving a royal blue Audi r6 that he bought a few days ago and just got off the highway from a traffic jam. Shen Xiangyan rubbed the center of his brows, he hadn''t closed his eyes for three whole days in order to win the new season of oper on this business trip. Remembering that there was nothing to eat in the refrigerator at home, Shen Xiangyan parked the car near the hypermarket closest to his home, got out of the car and prepared to buy some yogurt, vegetables, fruits and the like. However, just as he got out of the car, he was caught by a small figure at the intersection. It was a boy in a white T-shirt and jeans. It is not because of his young age that he is a boy, but because his clean temperament makes him feel that no matter whether he is called a man or a boy, he does not fit him. Well, Shen Xiangyan had to admit in his heart that it was indeed a ten-year-old boy, not a boy, otherwise he would think that his behavior of standing here without moving his feet was a pedophile. It was obvious that the little boy had encountered something difficult to solve. He was sitting alone by the side of the road, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world, so lonely and helpless. Shen Xiangyan felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. It seemed that he hadn''t had such ups and downs in many years. He didn''t expect that a young man who had just met and hadn''t even spoken to him could cause such a big reaction in him. Shen Xiangyan made up his mind, and then he took his eyes off the boy and walked into the shopping mall. Because of the summer promotion, there were a lot of people shopping in the mall, and Shen Xiangyan, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, successfully attracted most people''s attention. However, Shen Xiangyan walked through the daily necessities area, tobacco and alcohol area without realizing it, and stood in front of the refrigerator for a long time before he took two boxes of yogurt. He even forgot to check the date. Forgive him for being so full of that boy just now, how can he remember it? What to buy at the supermarket. When passing by the snack area, Shen Xiangyan accidentally took a few packs of potato chips, until it was time to pay the bill, he still couldn''t figure out why he took these things he didn''t eat. After paying the bill, before Shen Xiangyan walked to the door of the store with the plastic bag in hand, he heard someone say that it was raining outside. Shen Xiangyan was stunned, thinking of that lonely boy, he ran out without thinking too much about it. Because of the shelter from the rain, many people ran in from outside the store, and the intersections were blocked to death. It took Shen Xiangyan a lot of effort to squeeze out of the crowd and run towards the location in his memory. As expected, the young boy sat on the side of the road and hadn''t left yet, his body and hair were wet from the rain. Seeing that the boy was still there, Shen Xiangyan didn''t know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or sigh, he just felt that he must be crazy. But at this moment, he was not allowed to think too much, he ran two steps to the side of the boy, without any intention of asking, he just picked him up and ran to the parking place. The boy didn''t struggle after being picked up. Shen Xiangyan looked down at the white face that was almost transparent, and those empty eyes. Shen Xiangyan felt a throbbing pain in his heart. What has become like this. Opening the car door, Shen Xiangyan put the person in the back seat first, and then got into the car by himself. Both of them were caught in the rain, but Shen Xiangyan first found a towel and handed it to the young man, worried, "Wipe it off, don''t catch a cold." The young man seemed to realize that the current situation was true at this time. After he took the towel and wiped it casually, he said embarrassedly, "Well, thank you." Shen Xiangyan saw that he simply wiped his head, but his clothes were still wet, so he frowned unconsciously, "Where is your home, I''ll take you home." It may be that the word "home" stimulated the boy, his eyes turned red instantly, and he looked like he was about to cry. The boy thought to himself, he has no home anymore. Seeing this, Shen Xiangyan didn''t ask any more questions, and tentatively said, "If you have nowhere to go, go to my place first." After speaking, he seemed to be afraid that the young man would not agree, so he started the car first, and drove to the place where he lived go. Seeing that the young man didn''t object, Shen Xiangyan cursed himself secretly, he didn''t even know his name yet, so why was he so anxious to abduct him home, be careful that he turns around and treats you as a pervert. In fact, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a teenager to casually go with a stranger, and he still has some common sense about this. But when he was hugged just now, the boy felt that the embrace was too warm. His mother had just left, and he really needed this warmth so much that he couldn''t help but want to grab it, which led Shen Xiangyan to say that he wanted to take him. When he returned home, he made no objection. Shen Xiangyan lived in a high-end apartment in the urban area. Although he grew up in an orphanage, after graduating from high school, he was fortunate to have a master incense maker as his master. He is indeed very talented in incense making. Because the master has a very high status in the industry, his apprentice has been well-known since he was born as a teacher. After he got started, he started by assigning spices to the lady of the family. Over the past few years, he has a lot of money in his hands. Direct investment opened the incense studio. With the contacts from the years of making custom fragrances, it is easy to start cooperation with some large perfume companies, so he has a lot of savings in his hands within two years. The car crossed two streets and entered the community. Shen Xiangyan took the boy up to the fifteenth floor by elevator, took out the key and opened the door. The purpose of entering was a small duplex with black and white as the main color. Shen Xiangyan took out a pair of unopened slippers from the shoe rack and handed them to the young man, while he put on another pair that looked like he had worn it for a long time. Usually no one comes here, so the slippers are all new. Shen Xiangyan led the boy straight up to the second floor, and while searching in the closet in his bedroom, he said, "My surname is Shen, and my first name is Xiangyan. You can call me Big Brother Shen, but what should I call you?" It was only then that I realized that I hadn''t introduced myself yet, but because I was too shy, I answered in a much lower voice, "My name is Xia Rong. Well, thank you, Mr. Shen, for taking me in tonight." Shen Xiangyan found a t-shirt and slacks that he had only worn once in the closet, and took a box of unopened underwear and handed them to Xia Rong, "Okay, Rong''er, that''s what I''ll call you Yes. If you got caught in the rain, go take a shower first, or you will catch a cold and it will be bad." Xia Rong was called Rong''er, and the tips of her ears turned red, but she couldn''t say anything. She looked at the bathroom in the master bedroom and didn''t move for a long time. Shen Xiangyan saw his embarrassment, smiled and pushed him into the bathroom, and said without explanation, "It''s okay, Rong''er, you can use this, I''ll wash next door." Then he took a change of clothes and went to the next room. It wasn''t until Shen Xiangyan walked away that Xia Rong remembered that there were underwear inside the clothes she was holding, and immediately walked into the bathroom like a frightened rabbit. Under the fumigation of hot water, Xia Rong''s brain also started to work again. He grew up in a single-parent family and grew up dependent on his mother since he was a child. His father was a scumbag. When he was with his mother, he never said that he was married. After his mother found out, he already had him. His mother is a person who is weak on the outside but strong on the inside. Yes, his mother told him about the past when he became an adult. He is very grateful to his mother for telling him all this, and also very grateful to his mother for still working hard after breaking up with that scumbag. One of his family raised him up. I thought they would be like a normal family, wait for him to find a good job after college, and then switch him to take care of his mother. But who would have thought that just after he was admitted to university, his mother became seriously ill. Until a few days ago, his family''s savings were exhausted, and his mother did not recover. After finishing his mother''s funeral alone, he was on his way back to the rental house when he suddenly became frightened. A place without a mother can still be called a home. When he didn''t want to open the door to go in, he was the only one in that room. That''s why he had the scene of squatting near the hypermarket by himself before. After taking a shower and changing clothes, Xia Rong took a deep breath, feeling strange that the man who brought him back, as well as this room, had warmth that he couldn''t refuse. Shen Xiangyan warmed up two cups of hot milk in the kitchen. Seeing Xia Rong come out of the bath, he handed one of the cups with sugar to him, "Drinking a cup will make you feel more comfortable. With sugar, I guess you will like it." Don''t ask him why he would like it. Add sugar, God knows he just thinks Xia Rong will like it. Xia Rong took the cup of still warm milk and thanked her, then sat in a corner of the sofa, holding the cup and began to drink in small sips. Maybe because of the added sugar, Xia Rong at this moment gave him the feeling that a lost kitten has finally found a home. Seeing Xia Rong''s appearance, Shen Xiangyan really wanted to keep this lost kitten by his side forever. Shen Xiangyan went into the kitchen and looked through the refrigerator, feeling a little headache, it''s already late, and ordering takeout is a little troublesome, if he was alone, he would definitely be able to deal with it casually, but looking at the little one in the living room, it must have not eaten dinner look. After thinking about it, Shen Xiangyan took out the noodles and prepared to make two bowls of hot and sour pork noodles. Although he doesn''t cook often, his skills are not bad. Besides, both of them were caught in the rain just now, so it was just right to eat some hot and sour food, thinking so, Shen Xiangyan boiled water and started cooking noodles. As soon as the water boiled, Shen Xiangyan noticed that Xia Rong was standing at the door of the kitchen with only half-dry hair. After thinking about it, he still didn''t remind him. After all, it was the first time they met today, and the little milk cat was disgusted by his own management too much. Not good. Xia Rong looked at Mr. Shen who was cooking noodles, took a deep breath, and briefly explained her general situation and the reason why she didn''t go home just now, "Mr. Shen, thank you for taking me in tonight, otherwise I would say Maybe I''m still at that intersection now." After saying this, Xia Rong couldn''t help mocking herself. Shen Xiangyan suddenly felt extremely disgusted with the words Mr. Shen and thank you, but he didn''t expect that this was really a lost little milk cat, "So, the rent on your end is only half a month left. Otherwise, you Just move to my place and live here. I see that you are very close to each other. If you are really sorry, just give me half of the rent. As you can see, I live here alone, and it is usually very deserted. " Shen Xiangyan looked at the noodles in the pot, and looked very calm when he said this. In fact, only he knew that the hand holding the chopsticks had already sold him out, but no matter what, he still had to spare no effort to abduct him. Let''s talk about it, Shen Xiangyan thought. Chapter 61: Shen Xiangyan has been living a very regular life recently, starting to pack his things and get ready to leave work every day before midnight, which makes everyone in the studio suspect that there must be something wrong with his boss, a workaholic who has been working for thousands of years, maybe it is because of his relationship with A certain beautiful woman has gone on a date, and it looks like they may have a lady boss soon. In fact, this group of people can be regarded as a mistake, and they guessed about the same. But it''s not a wild woman, but their little Rong''er. Of course, the two of them didn''t go on a date, but Xia Rong took over the work of cooking every day. Shen Xiangyan got off work early just to have dinner with Xia Rong. Today was also the same, Shen Xiangyan signed the documents to be signed early, and after handing over the rest to the secretary, he picked up his suit jacket and drove back to the apartment. When Xia Rong put the last plate of stir-fried small rapeseed on the table, Shen Xiangyan just entered the room, Xia Rong couldn''t help ordering something for herself in her heart, the timing was just right. Xia Rong stepped forward to take Shen Xiangyan''s coat and smiled shyly, "Brother Shen, you are back, the meal is ready, just in time to wash your hands and eat." Xia Rong wore a little rabbit apron for cooking, and the slippers on her feet were no longer the simple cotton slippers just unpacked, but a pair of white furry little rabbit slippers. After Xia Rong decided to move in, the two of them went to the rental house where Xia Rong lived before, packed up and brought all the things, and Xia Rong took them out to replace them. Shen Xiangyan swallowed at a place that Xia Rong didn''t see, he always had the illusion that Xia Rong dressed up like this was more delicious than the four dishes and one soup on the table. The two sat down on both sides of the dining table. Xia Rong handed the rice bowl to Shen Xiangyan, hesitated for a while before saying, "Brother Shen, I found a part-time job, and I may not be able to make dinner in time in the future." At the end, he looked up at Shen Xiangyan with some guilt, and before Shen Xiangyan could speak, he quickly added, "Brother Shen, you also know my situation, I want to make some money during the summer vacation, but if I have time, I will definitely come back to make dinner of." Xia Rong didn''t have much money left. He was only a sophomore this year, and his future tuition and living expenses would be a lot of money. Although he moved to Big Brother Shen''s house, Big Brother Shen only charged half of the rent of his previous house, which saved him a lot of expenses, but even so, he can''t just sit and eat. After this week, his mood has almost adjusted. If he doesn''t close his eyes, his mother will leave him. This is also indispensable for the relationship of Big Brother Shen being by his side. Xia Rong thought it was time to find a part-time job to earn some money, but he was a little ashamed of Big Brother Shen. Originally, he wanted to do some housework to offset the other half''s rent, but this turned out to be a good thing. He even guaranteed the most basic dinner. no. Shen Xiangyan looked at Xia Rong, who looked like a child doing something wrong, with his head down, put a chopstick of fish-flavored eggplant into his bowl, and said in relief, "What''s the matter, your big brother Shen can also cook , although it¡¯s not as delicious as our Rong¡¯er¡¯s, but it¡¯s still available, and if it¡¯s not enough, you can order takeaway.¡± After thinking about it, he asked uneasy, ¡°Have you found a part-time job yet? What kind of food is it? Work? Talk to Brother Shen." It''s not that he worried too much, but that Xia Rong gave him the feeling that he was an inexperienced child. He was a good example if he didn''t save himself. He coaxed people back home with just a few words. Shen Xiangyan was really afraid that he would be deceived . Xia Rong''s eyes flashed, "It''s a cake shop, it''s only two streets away from here." Xia Rong told himself in his heart, he wasn''t lying, he did have a part-time job in the cake shop. It''s just that he found another part-time job besides this, and the other one is in a coffee shop, which is located in the building opposite Shen Xiangyan''s studio. Shen Xiangyan didn''t notice the dodge in Xia Rong''s eyes, and nodded after hearing it, although he really wanted to say, you don''t have to worry about the money, even the other half of the rent can be waived, and he wished he could take over the whole person. . But Shen Xiangyan knew that if he said that, Xia Rong, who was already ashamed to live here, would definitely feel even more uneasy. And if he went to work in a bakery, there would be no safety issues, so he had absolutely no reason to let Xia Rong not go. After eating, Xia Rong wanted to wash the dishes, but Shen Xiangyan drove Xia Rong out of the kitchen on the grounds that Xia Rong made the rice and he would naturally wash the dishes. Xia Rong had no choice but to go upstairs to take a bath first. After washing the dishes, Shen Xiangyan warmed up two cups of milk as usual, and handed the cup with sugar to Xia Rong. Drinking milk before going to bed at night can help sleep. Xia Rong didn''t sleep well at night during the first two days of living here, so in order to let Xia Rong have a good night''s sleep, he kept the matter of milk before going to bed. Persevered. After drinking the milk, neither of them felt sleepy yet. Shen Xiangyan found a suspenseful detective movie, and the two of them sat on the sofa and watched the movie together. Shen Xiangyan didn''t notice what the movie was showing at all. Xia Rong was wearing cartoon-patterned pajamas because she had just showered, and with her freshly blown hair, she looked super cute. What''s more, Xia Rong was sitting so close to him, her nose was filled with the clean smell of his body, which was completely different from the shower gel she was used to. Shen Xiangyan counted the time, and when the movie was just halfway through, Xia Rong''s head really lit up. Shen Xiangyan chuckled, and leaned his body against Xia Rong''s for another two minutes. After a while, he felt a weight on his shoulder, and Xia Rong''s head fell asleep on his shoulder spontaneously. Shen Xiangyan picked up the remote control at hand and turned down the sound of the TV to the minimum, and his breathing also slowed down. It wasn''t until he was sound asleep that he carefully carried him up to Xia Rong''s room on the second floor. Shen Xiangyan gently put him on the bed, looked at Xia Rong''s peaceful sleeping face, Shen Xiangyan showed an incomparably gentle smile that he had never seen before, and pulled the quilt aside to cover Xia Rong, so he felt a little reluctant A kiss was printed on the forehead and left the room. When Xia Rong woke up in a daze the next day, she found herself in her room again, with a shameful face that she didn''t know where to hide. Finally, she pulled up the quilt and covered her head completely, Xia Rong couldn''t help but complain to herself, how could she fall asleep again. This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, it was like this before, the memory stays on watching a movie together, but the next day I lie on my bed, although I haven¡¯t asked, but I don¡¯t need to think about this kind of thing. Big Brother Shen carried him up, Big Brother Shen really did, why couldn''t he wake himself up, Xia Rong complained rascally about Shen Xiangyan, never expecting that the other party wanted to take advantage of him by taking advantage of this opportunity. From this day on, when Shen Xiangyan went home every night, Xia Rong was not there, and sometimes Xia Rong would not come back until very late. Shen Xiangyan also began to resume the previous working mode, working overtime again. This is a pain for everyone in the company. After enjoying a period of happiness, it turns back to **** mode. Everyone works overtime with the boss. Who can bear it. Seeing the boss''s face getting darker and darker, those people who had gossip about the boss''s private life all started to speculate again whether the boss had lost his love. Two part-time jobs shifted back and forth. Although she was a little tired, Xia Rong didn''t find it hard. When she thought of getting a double salary at the end of the month, Xia Rong couldn''t help but feel excited. The proprietress of the cake shop is very nice, and every time she gets off work, she will give him a small piece of cake left over from today. Seeing the pieces of exquisite pastries in the window being brought home by the customers, Xia Rong always feels super satisfied. Even so, Xia Rong still prefers working in a coffee shop. The glass window of the coffee shop is just facing the door of Shen Xiangyan''s incense making studio. Brother Shen would only show up at the door during commuting hours. By 8:30 in the evening, there were not many customers left in the store. Xia Rong wiped all the tables in the store one by one and had nothing else to do, so she leaned on her arms and looked at the opposite side through the glass window without blinking. Calculating the time, it is almost time for Brother Shen to work overtime. Out. This kind of voyeurism is wrong, although every time Xia Rong told himself in his heart that this was the last time, it would be a full month since he still had a few days to work, and this kind of warning did not succeed Xia Rong couldn''t help complaining about her idiotic behavior. When Xia Rong was wandering, two figures walked out of the opposite building. When the two got closer, Xia Rong realized that they were a man and a woman. The man is dressed in a suit with a tall and straight figure, and the woman is dressed in a skirt with a graceful figure. The two look very good when they walk together. That man Xia Rong is very familiar, he is really his elder brother Shen. Xia Rong couldn''t help lowering her head and sneering, Brother Shen is such a good person, he is already enough to take care of himself, and he doesn''t know what he is thinking about. After finally closing the shop, Xia Rong changed his clothes but didn''t want to go back so early. He knew that when he went back in his current condition, Big Brother Shen would definitely be able to see something was wrong. But he didn''t want to go too far, Xia Rong wandered around the apartment until the early morning, until he had to go back, then went back to the apartment, and opened the door lightly. The living room was completely dark, and Xia Rong breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that if he came back so late, he would definitely be scolded by Brother Shen. Fortunately, it seemed that Brother Shen had already fallen asleep. Xia Rong didn''t turn on the light either. After changing her shoes, she was about to go back to her room in the dark, but she was caught by a hand when she got to the sofa. Fortunately, Shen Xiangyan said at the right time, "Why did you come back so late? Why didn''t you answer the call." The tone of the voice was very stable, and there was no emotion, but Xia Rong was clever. It''s over, his mobile phone was set to vibrate due to work reasons, and he didn''t turn it on after get off work. Xia Rong took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and suddenly found that there were five missed calls on it. Xia Rong turned off the mobile phone and put it back, and said with a flattering smile, "Well, the phone is vibrating, and I forgot to turn on the sound." This reason is acceptable, but Shen Xiangyan still pushed Xia Rong into his arms, and then said, "Next time you come back so late, you must notify me in advance, and don''t forget to adjust your mobile phone after work." Ring back, you know?" The warm breath sprayed on Xia Rong''s ears, Xia Rong trembled all over, and it took a while to realize whether the current posture of the two of them was too ambiguous. Wanting to break free, she found that the person behind her was hugging him very tightly. Xia Rong was a little scared, so she quickly nodded and agreed, "I know, I know, I will call you first when I come back next time, okay?" After Shen Xiangyan heard the promise, he let go of his hand. As soon as Nuannuan''s small body was out of his embrace, Shen Xiangyan couldn''t help regretting it, but with the current relationship between the two, it would be unreasonable to bring him back. After Xia Rong managed to break free, she glared at the man sitting on the sofa angrily, and couldn''t help but turned around and ran back to his room on the second floor. However, it was dark all around, and I don''t know if the other party saw the way he glared at him. glance. It wasn''t until she closed the door, locked it, and threw herself into the bed that Xia Rong was in the mood to think about what happened all day. In the end, I found that my restlessness was all caused by Brother Shen. This stinky guy came to tease him as soon as he was with a woman. The point is that I can''t resist at all. This body seems to have an instinct. Not obeying orders. Xia Rong smashed her head into the pillow and fell asleep reluctantly. Chapter 62: Episode 4 (Modern Chapter 3) The summer vacation is coming to an end soon, and Xia Rong has successfully received two salaries. Xia Rong took out her mobile phone and happily sent a text message to Shen Xiangyan, telling him that she had paid her salary, and that she would have a big dinner tonight, and asked Shen Xiangyan to go back to celebrate at night. Shen Xiangyan was in a meeting when he received the text message, and the people at the conference table were in disbelief when they saw his boss answering the message in public during the meeting, and when he replied the message, his expression was so gentle that he died. Xia Rong received a text message from Shen Xiangyan, saying that he knew and would be home on time in the evening, and asked him if he had any ingredients to buy, so he drove back from get off work and went to the mall to buy them. Naturally, Xia Rong would not be polite to him, and sent all the things she needed, and the two of them sent several messages back and forth like this before giving up. Shen Xiangyan put down his phone, acted as if nothing happened just now, and signaled for the meeting to continue, leaving behind a group of onlookers who wanted to gossip but were limited by the wrong time and place, feeling overwhelmed to death. Xia Rong put down her phone, and decided to go to the mall later to buy the tie clip that she had her eyes on earlier as a gift for Brother Shen. He wanted to give this gift early in the morning, but it was delayed due to the reason that he hadn''t given it. Some time ago, when he was cleaning the house, he found the certificate that Big Brother Shen had placed on the table casually. It said that Big Brother Shen''s birthday was tomorrow, which was why he was going to cook a good meal tonight. However, in order to surprise Big Brother Shen, naturally he couldn''t mention that it was his birthday. It just so happened that he paid his salary, so it''s not a bad excuse to use this as an excuse. Under the guidance of the proprietress of the cake shop, Xia Rong personally made a rainbow cake. A rainbow was painted on the surface of the cake, and then filled with a few clouds for decoration. Finally, the words happy birthday were written on the bottom with colored jam. Xia Rong turned the mounting table and looked at the first cake she made with satisfaction. Although it was not as good as the craftsmanship of the bakers in the cake shop, it was still passable. Xia Rong was not without narcissism. . Asking the proprietress to help pack it, Xia Rong and the proprietress learned about this month''s salary, rushed to the mall to buy the tie clip and went home directly. Opening the door with the key, Xia Rong poked his head in first, looked around carefully, and saw that no one was there, so he entered the room with confidence, but luckily Big Brother Shen hadn''t come back yet. Xia Rong put the cake in the refrigerator, and hid the jewelry box with the tie clips, then washed her hands and put on an apron to prepare for dinner. After a while, Shen Xiangyan also came back, and the two of them got busy working together, and the efficiency was much higher. When Shen Xiangyan was about to cook the last sweet and sour pork ribs, Shen Xiangyan''s cell phone rang. Xia Rong answered the call for him under Shen Xiangyan''s gesture. A woman with a nice voice. Xia Rong replied that Big Brother Shen was cooking, and the other party was not impatient at all, saying that he could wait for a while. Shen Xiangyan put the vegetables out of the pot and put them on a plate, and when he took the phone from Xia Rong, his fingertips accidentally brushed against each other. The trembling feeling in his body was still there, but following Shen Xiangyan''s next words, he began to speak out from the bottom of his heart. It got colder a little bit. Shen Xiangyan patted Xia Rong''s head apologetically, "I have to go out first, Rong''er, you eat first, don''t wait for me." Without waiting for Xia Rong''s answer, he quickly packed up and left the door. Xia Rong told herself over and over in her heart that the other party must have something important to do, so Big Brother Shen would not let him go out. But no matter how many comforting words I said to myself, I couldn''t stop the loss in my heart. Xia Rong also doubted why he cared so much about Brother Shen. Before that, he obviously didn''t realize that he had a tendency to like the same sex, and of course the opposite **** didn''t like anyone. But that was Brother Shen who picked him up from that lonely rain, how could he be indifferent to such a warm embrace. Xia Rong was sitting at the dining table, not even interested in the few dishes that Big Brother Shen made himself. Xia Rong just sat there from 7 o''clock to twelve o''clock, turned on the TV in the middle and didn''t watch it, her mind was full of the scene she saw in the coffee shop before, Brother Shen and that woman who looked good were walking side by side , In the end they will be together, and I have to move out from here. Looking at the clock showing that it was past twelve o''clock, Xia Rong finally sighed and put the jewelry box with the tie clip on the dining table and went back upstairs to sleep. It was almost three o''clock in the morning when Shen Xiangyan came back, and he had no choice but to leave Xia Rong at home by himself last night. The caller was Li Jiarou, the daughter of his master. After the master passed away due to illness a few years ago, he left behind his wife with heart disease and this daughter. He was a master for a day and a father for life. Almost taught him everything he had learned all his life. Because of this, after the master left, he couldn''t help taking care of their mother and daughter a little bit more on weekdays. Last night, my wife suddenly fell ill. When Li Jiarou called him, my wife had already been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. After all, Li Jiarou was a woman, and she couldn''t make up her mind about many things, so she called him. It wasn''t until one o''clock that Mrs. Shi was pushed out of the emergency room. He accompanied her to observe for a while, and after seeing that the situation was stable, he drove back. Shen Xiangyan said that in the restaurant, he saw a black velvet jewelry box on the dining table at a glance. Shen Xiangyan opened the box, and inside was an extremely exquisite silver tie clip with a string of numbers engraved on the corner of the tie clip. Shen Xiangyan picked it up carefully Only after looking at it did I realize that that date was the day when he and Rong''er first met. Shen Xiangyan smiled knowingly, walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator and saw a cake box. He almost forgot his birthday. After all, he was an orphan since he was a child. His birthday was the day he was picked up by the director of the orphanage. The conditions in the orphanage are not good, and it is not easy to feed these children. Some people still want to celebrate his birthday. Speaking of which, this was the first time someone celebrated his birthday. Shen Xiangyan opened the cake box and was delighted to see the crooked rainbow. For the sake of making it with his own hands, Shen Xiangyan still cut a piece and ate it. While eating the cake, Shen Xiangyan thought, this little guy has prepared so much, but he left suddenly, so he might not be very angry. Shen Xiangyan took out a ring box that had been prepared a long time ago from his trousers pocket. At first he hesitated whether it was too early, but it seemed that Rong''er was also interested in him. You can feel at ease. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª When Xia Rong woke up the next day, it was already under the sun. Xia Rong stretched her waist. Although she went to bed late last night, she hadn''t stayed in bed for a long time. Xia Rong rubbed against the quilt. I yawned and didn''t think about what to do. Just as she was about to go back to sleep, the phone rang inappropriately. Xia Rong squinted her eyes in a daze and stretched out a hand from under the quilt to touch the phone on the bedside table for a long time. It was revealed that it was Brother Shen, and Xia Rong woke up now, and hurriedly pressed the connect button, "Hello, Brother Shen." The reason why Xia Rong just woke up, her voice was soft and waxy with a hint of hoarseness, unexpectedly sexy, Shen Xiangyan looked helplessly at the place where he had reacted, and then said solemnly, "Rong''er, I have a I forgot the file at home, because I need it urgently, so can I trouble you to deliver it for me." How could Xia Rong not listen to Shen Xiangyan''s words, let alone just sending a file, after asking where to put the file, Xia Rong put down the phone and jumped off the bed. He hasn''t washed yet, although boys don''t need to pay too much attention, but Xia Rong looked at the hair blown into a bird''s nest in the mirror and looked unlovable. When Xia Rong packed everything up and went downstairs with the documents, she saw that the dishes on the dining table had been cleaned up, and of course even the jewelry box he put on the dining table last night was gone. Thinking that the number engraved on the tie clip might have been seen by Brother Shen, Xia Rong''s ears turned red unconsciously. Shen Xiangyan''s studio was decorated by a special designer. It was the first time for Xia Rong to come in, and she used to look at it from the outside. As soon as you enter the gate, there is a leisure area combining green and white. Xia Rong looked around and saw the front desk on the left side of the gate. The lady at the front desk had already received a call from the boss''s secretary and sent Xia Rong to the elevator in person. , watched Xia Rong get on the elevator, and then left. Xia Rong took the elevator to the tenth floor where Shen Xiangyan worked. When the secretary saw a very handsome young man with a file bag in his hand, he knew that this was the boss waiting for him. Although he was full of curiosity about this boy, he took him to Shen Xiangyan''s office immediately. Xia Rong opened the door of the office and went in. Unsurprisingly, the style here is completely different from that of the whole studio. On the contrary, it is the same as at home, with a simple and elegant black and white collocation. Seeing Xia Rong standing at the door, Shen Xiangyan smiled and put down the pen in his hand, got up and pulled Xia Rong into the office. Xia Rong handed over the documents in Shen Xiangyan''s hand, and Shen Xiangyan saw that Xia Rong''s face was thin with sweat, and couldn''t help feeling annoyed. It was not good to find any excuses. Although it was the end of August, Qiuhu was at its hottest time. Putting the documents on the desk casually, Shen Xiangyan asked Xia Rong to sit on the sofa and rest for a while. After Xia Rong had rested, Shen Xiangyan said, "Would you like to see the place where I make incense?" After finishing speaking, regardless of Xia Rong''s answer, Shen Xiangyan led the people to his personal incense making room, where there are some modern incense sticks. Instruments and equipment, but Shen Xiangyan did not introduce them to him, but pushed open another door in the room. This place is very different from the outside, there is no trace of modernity at all, but an ancient wing. Looking at this wing, Xia Rong always feels as if she has seen it somewhere before. Xia Rong helped each of the furnishings, and the more she looked at them, the more they felt familiar, but Xia Rong couldn''t bear to think about it. Shen Xiangyan had already walked over with a wooden tray. On the wooden tray were six identical white porcelain vases. There is a blue orchid, and there is a small sunken character at the lower corner of the orchid. Although the orchid has only a few strokes, it is very graceful. Xia Rong looked at the white porcelain bottle in a daze for a while, and Shen Xiangyan felt his heart melt when he saw his stupid and confused look, "Rong''er, these bottles of incense are the most satisfying ones I have made. , Smell and see." Xia Rong picked up a bottle, opened the lid of the porcelain bottle, and put it in her nose. First, there was a faint scent of lilacs, followed by violets and white jasmines, and finally a sweet citrus scent, as if a girl met her destined lover in a sea of ??flowers. people. The next five bottles each have their own characteristics, but they all give Xia Rong a feeling of love, whether it''s first love, secret love or passionate love. After a few bottles of perfume, Xia Rong experienced the so-called love in a short time. Shen Xiangyan put the wooden plate on the same table, and suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Xia Rong, "Rong''er, when I made these bottles of perfume, I thought that if I have someone I like in the future, I must give it to him." Share these works of mine. When I saw your lonely figure at the intersection that day, I couldn¡¯t help myself, Rong¡¯er, if you wish, let me spoil you, love you, and cherish you in the days to come.¡± Shen Xiangyan said Then he took out the ring box from his trouser pocket, opened the ring box, and inside was a pair of simple plain silver rings. Suddenly being proposed, Xia Rong was completely out of shape. She opened her mouth to say something, but she didn''t say a word for a long time. Finally, she asked in disbelief, "Brother Shen, are you sure you are proposing to me? I am a man." Shen Xiangyan smiled, "What makes you think that Big Brother Shen can''t even tell you are a man or a woman? Don''t you think I should just find a girlfriend instead of a boyfriend?" Said, "Could it be that yesterday''s phone call made you misunderstand something?" Xia Rong hummed in a low voice, "You and that woman are still walking together, you look like a good match." He was inexplicably sure that he saw the woman walking with Shen Xiangyan in the coffee shop that day It''s the one who called him last night. Shen Xiangyan was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Xia Rong should have never seen him walking with any woman. The only one walking with him recently was Li Jiarou who came to him to discuss cooperation matters last time. Seeing Shen Xiangyan''s suspicious eyes, Xia Rong covered her mouth, knowing that she was telling the truth, so she curled her lips and told about his part-time job in the coffee shop. Shen Xiangyan couldn''t help laughing, and he didn''t blame him for hiding himself. In addition to the birthday gift of the tie clip he received earlier, he felt that Xia Rong was cuter like this. What about the potential of a moron. That is my master''s daughter Li Jiarou. She already knew that I only like homosexuals. After the master left, my wife and her were left. As an apprentice, I took care of them a little bit more. Master has been kind to me. My wife had a sudden heart attack last night, so she called me to go." It turns out that his family''s little Rong''er is not only a little vinegar bag, but also likes him so much. If I had known , He has already settled down, but fortunately it is not too late. Xia Rong was embarrassed by Shen Xiangyan''s words, blushing and said arrogantly, "Who is your Rong''er, don''t bark." Shen Xiangyan held back his smile and repositioned his proposal, cleared his throat, and said solemnly, "Then, Mr. Xia Rongxia, do you intend to become Mr. Shen''s little Rong''er in Shen Xiangyan''s family?" Xia Rong burst out laughing, blushing, and stretched out her hand pretending to be reluctant, "Then for Mr. Shen''s pious sake, I will reluctantly agree." Shen Xiangyan took Xia Rong''s hand, put the plain silver ring on Xia Rong''s ring finger, then kissed Xia Rong''s hand again, then raised his head and looked into Xia Rong''s eyes and said, "Yes, yes , Thank you Mr. Xia for giving me this face." Xia Rong pulled Shen Xiangyan up, boldly wrapped his arms around Shen Xiangyan''s neck, closed his eyes and put his lips on it. Since everyone is his, a kiss should be fine. Shen Xiangyan didn''t react for a while, Xia Rong took the initiative, but soon regained the control, deepening the first kiss between the two. After the kiss was over, Xia Rong, a novice, was already dizzy. But Xia Rong was still thinking about not wearing a ring for Big Brother Shen, so after a while, he said, "Brother Shen, give me the ring." Shen Xiangyan guessed Xia Rong''s intentions, handed the ring box to Xia Rong, and teased, "Since the rings have been exchanged, Rong''er must remember to change her words in the future." Xia Rong glared at Shen Xiangyan coquettishly, but after putting on the ring, she still called "husband" in a low voice. Shen Xiangyan really loved Xia Rong''s obedient appearance, he picked her up and turned her around two or three times before putting him down, "Rong''er, I didn''t believe in love at first sight before, so I knew it was over at the first sight of you." , Be good, don¡¯t worry give yourself to me.¡± Xia Rong was held in Shen Xiangyan''s arms, and obediently put her face on Shen Xiangyan''s chest, listening to Shen Xiangyan''s strong heartbeat, "Me too, the moment Brother Shen you picked me up from the rain, I was Fall in love with the warmth of your body." "That''s right, so we are really destined." Shen Xiangyan put his chin on Xia Rong''s head, isn''t it meant to be destined? After ten years of cultivation, we can cross the same boat, and after a hundred years of cultivation, we can sleep together. Maybe he and Xia Rong are like this It can only be cultivated through thousands of generations.
