In the south of the Yangtze River in March, the smoke and willows are full of eyes, and where the breeze blows, the spring is deep.

In Cheng's house, the servant maid is receiving guests from afar.

"I heard that my uncle and aunt are here!

A blue-colored figure ran fast, and the rings on the skirt clanged against each other.

"Miss, don't worry! the guests are in the flower hall—" The little girl who had just left her head chased after her, her face flushed with exhaustion.

The servant who had passed the word of the arrival of the guest reached the ears of the young lady, who rode her all the way back on horseback and did not stop for a moment when she entered the house.

The wishful wishes that I finally asked for have all fallen in the Lingyin Temple!

Cheng Jing'an ignored the maid behind him and ran all the way to the flower hall.

When her eyes found the figure she had missed for a long time, she threw herself into the other party's arms without hesitation.

"Auntie, why did you just arrive! I have been waiting at home half a month ago, and I dare not go anywhere, and it is very difficult for me to go out today, so I have not picked up you and my uncle. ”

Fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls still look childish when they are coquettish.

Feng Jiwen couldn't help laughing, helped her up and stood up, nodded and said, "Enjoy the scenery along the way, and it was delayed for a few more days." Let me take a good look, I haven't seen you for two years, but An'er has grown taller again?"

The girl let her look at it, and turned around generously, and showed a pair of cute little tiger teeth with a smile.

"Well, it's high again. It's already catching up with me. Feng Jiwen said with a smile.

After the two said this, Cheng Jingan walked up to the middle-aged man sitting on the side and saluted with a smile.

He Shen said with a smile: "How are you learning qinqi, calligraphy and painting now? I heard that the female gentleman I found for you earlier was all angry with you and ran away?"

Cheng Jing'an's face turned red when he heard this, and he quickly returned to his senses, and said confidently: "I don't like to learn that, I follow my grandfather to practice martial arts and archery, and I ride horses well!"

The grandfather in her mouth is Cheng Yuan.

He Shen smiled helplessly.

The gentle atmosphere in Jiangnan failed to educate the descendants of the Yuan family in Shandong.

Thinking that Yuan Shoutong refused to confess the secrets of the White Lotus Sect at the beginning, he resorted to such a ploy to pry Yuan Shoutong's mouth open - it's just that he promised Yuan Shoutong to keep the Yuan family's bloodline at that time, and Yuan Shoutong thought that he had saved a son......

However, now that An'er lives freely, he thinks that Yuan Shoutong will not blame him for being in the spirit of the sky.

He Shen thought with peace of mind, but in his mind was the sentence 'soldiers are not tired of cheating'.

Cheng Jing'an caught a glimpse of a small pink figure, his eyes lit up, he walked over in a few steps, squatted down in front of the child and said, "This is Xiaoxi'er!"

There is no need for others to answer for her, the little girl who looks like she is only two or three years old has already nodded herself, and stared at Cheng Jing'an in front of her with a pair of bright and watery eyes.

Cheng Jing'an liked it, pinched her pink face with her hand, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxi'er, call sister." ”

Xiao Xi'er blinked, and shouted softly, "Sister An'er." ”

Cheng Jing'an was a little surprised.

"How do you know to call Sister An'er?"

"E-Niang can teach you. "Xiaoxi'er's words are not very clear.

"What a little clever!" Cheng Jing'an liked this little girl the more she looked at her, and rarely hugged her in her arms.

"Why haven't Cheng Shibo and his wife come back yet?" Feng Jiwen said a little anxiously.

Her thoughts about seeing Mrs. Cheng and An'er's thoughts about seeing her should be the same, or even a little worse.

At this time, she was already a mother of two children, but she was also like a child looking forward to seeing her dearest elders.

Over the years, she has run to Jiangnan whenever she has time, and she has to live for a month or two.

He Shen couldn't stay with her in the future, that is, he has been slowly idle in the past few years-

Four years ago, the first emperor died, and the fifteenth prince Yongyan ascended the throne with the year name Jiayuan.

Yuan, the beginning also.

This era name inexplicably made Feng Jiwen's heart completely settled.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he opened up three other trade coasts, communicated with foreign countries, focused on the export of tea and porcelain, and had a very complete and comprehensive system of rules and regulations on foreign trade.

At the same time, while supporting merchants, reduce taxes and forced labor, revitalize agriculture, and reclaim land.

In fact, before ascending the throne, Yongyan, with the assistance of ministers such as Heshen, Fukangan, Liu Yaozhi, etc., had already laid a solid foundation for these policies that benefited the country and the people, so he could have the vigorous and resolute innovation after ascending the throne.

"Grandfather took grandmother to the shore of West Lake to enjoy the scenery, and it took half a day to go back and forth!" Cheng Jing'an hugged Xiaoxi'er and said: "Grandmother is easily reluctant to go out, but grandfather can't stand it——"

Feng Jiwen knows this.

Mrs. Cheng's temperament is indifferent and cold, and she can't enjoy the scenery or something, which doesn't interest her at all.

Cheng Shibo always felt that he missed a lot of beautiful scenery when he was young, and he wanted to take his daughter-in-law around in a different way.

Therefore, Feng Jiwen waited until dusk before the couple returned.

Cheng Yuan brought a basket of fish and shrimp and handed it to the kitchen, claiming that he wanted Heshen Feng Jiwen to try it.

"What can't people eat in the capital?" Mrs. Cheng glanced at him and said, "If you don't want to bring it, it will make the carriage smelly...... Smoked to death. Some people are really getting older and more stubborn. ”

Cheng Yuan, who had gray braids, didn't think so, but straightened his chest.

Feng Jiwen walked up to Mrs. Cheng, took one of her arms kissingly, and said with a smile: "Some people are still nagging as they get older." ”

Mrs. Cheng has changed a lot over the years.

Feng Jiwen took a stab in the eye as a matter of course.

Cheng Yuan first asked Feng Yinglian how his health was in the past two years, and after getting Feng Jiwen's answer of "everything is healthy", he asked He Shen about some things in the capital.

At the end of the meal, everyone chatted while eating, not sticking to the rules of etiquette, and they were very happy.

Half a month passed quickly.

In the past half month, He Shen and Feng Jiwen have seen the scenery of the Jiangnan landscape, and they have also learned how to go on a boat trip to the spring, and they have also gone to famous temples, added a lot of sesame oil money, and asked for peace charms one after another.

In the past few days, I really can't build it, so most of them are resting in the house, playing chess and drinking tea.

In the afternoon, Xiaoxi'er was carried by Xiaoxian and went to sleep. He Shen sat on the couch reading a book, and Feng Jiwen lay quietly on his lap.

After Xiaoxian put Xiaoxi'er to sleep, she left the room lightly and asked a maid to guard the door carefully.

The maid responded, and Xiaoxian glanced into the room again before leaving with confidence.

She passed through a moon gate and saw a man in a dark robe waiting there.

"Here's it. ”

Xiaoxian smiled and beckoned to him, the expressionless man's face suddenly softened, he came over and held one of her hands, and asked, "Miss is asleep?"

"Hmm. The wife said, let's just go shopping, and it doesn't hurt to come back later. ”

The man smiled and said, "Then let's go to the market first." ”

Fairy nodded.

"Brother Qin, do you think it will rain this day......

"It's okay, there's an umbrella in the carriage. ”

"If it rains, let's also go to the lakeside to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the 'Yanyu Jiangnan'?"

"Good. I've brought an extra cloak for you. ”

“……”

The figures of the two faded away and disappeared outside the last hanging flower door.

……

This time, Feng Jiwen went south, and Banxia also took a pair of children back to Luo's house to visit relatives.

Five years ago, she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins safely, and finally broke the haze in everyone's hearts.

Early in the morning of this day, outside the gate of the Luo family's compound, an "uninvited guest" came.

The beautiful girl sat on the back of a tall horse, and the servant who opened the door said, "Tell you four sons to come out to me—"

The servant had a headache when he saw her, but he had to obey and hurriedly went to inform the fourth son, Luo Qingchen.

Luo Qingchen has just turned sixteen this year, and his grandfather and Luohe are the same mother, and they belong to the same lineage.

He heard the news and came out to meet without a moment's delay.

"Come down, let's go in and talk. The young man was dressed in a moon-white robe, and his temperament was elegant, but his face was full of anxiety at this time.

"I don't. The girl frowned and looked at him and said, "Have you thought about it?"

Luo Qingchen's face was full of misery.

"My father is just such a son-in-law...... The stakes are high, so you'll have to give me some time to think about it, right?"

"But you've been thinking about it for half a year!"

"I ......"

"Don't say that there are no more, my family is still only my junior, and it all depends on me to continue the incense!" The girl impatiently dropped the last sentence: "Give you the last three days to think about it - overdue or not!"

"Huh!"

Luo Qingchen watched her ride away, and the last trace of hesitation was also worn away by her.

If he marries, he can't marry!

As a result, the Cheng family had an additional grandson-in-law.

……

Because Cheng Jing'an's marriage is imminent, Feng Jiwen can only stay for a while longer.

Fortunately, Heshen was not in a hurry to go back, but Haochu's kid had already sent two letters in succession to ask about the return date of Ama Eniang.

Haochu's marriage with the tenth princess was made as early as when the emperor was alive, and only three years later, Haochu reached the age of sixteen to discuss the wedding.

Feng Jiwen was worried that this kind of arranged marriage would have drawbacks at first, but fortunately, the two children grew up together, and no matter how old they were, they didn't hate each other, but urged each other to grow up, and they liked each other.

Regarding her various worries, He Shen often smiled and said, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren."

Late spring is bright, and the willows move slowly with the wind.

The warm breeze is blowing and the water is rippling.

Feng Jiwen stood side by side with He Shen on the bow of the boat, admiring the scenery on both sides of the strait.

"When I first arrived, the willows were green, but now they are dark green. He Shen said with a smile.

Feng Jiwen let out a "hmm" and leaned on his shoulder with a smile.

"Lord—"

"Huh?"

"What do you think we will look like when we get old?" Feng Jiwen asked whimsically.

He Shen looked down at her when he heard this.

The smile in his eyes was deep, but his gaze became distant, as if through the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, he could see what the two of them would look like many years later.

After a long time, he said slowly-

"It's just that there are a few more lines on the face, and the walk is slower. That's also very good, but the days can be slower, no trivial things, and always with his wife—from then on, there will be no separation. ”

Feng Jiwen couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth when she heard this.

Why is it that even getting old is said to be a wonderful thing?

However, life in the world should be like this.

"Master, let's go lotus picking later......"
