Shen Shu was stunned when she heard this, her eyes moved from the empty bookshelf to the book in front of her, and after looking at it, she reached out and took it, "Thank you." After she finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave, when she heard Xie Changning ask, "This is the regional history of Liuzhou, which is written about the geography and terrain of Liuzhou, but it is not an interesting story, how can you think of it?"

Shen Shu really wanted to turn around and give him a roll of his eyes. Emphasizing so much, it is clear that she thinks she is the kind of person who has no knowledge, and she deserves to read the books circulating in the market, such as regional chronicles, as if it should not be seen by people like her. Or, presumably, in his opinion, women are superficial.

However, Shen Shu finally held back and replied, "It's just that I'm just curious." After she finished speaking, she just wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered something, hesitated, turned to face Xie Changning, "That, I want to ask, do you have a map of Liuzhou here? ”

The Southern Dynasty is different from the modern era where science and technology and information were very advanced when she grew up and lived, and not everyone can see maps, or maps that depict accurately. In the war of the Cold Weapon Age, terrain is undoubtedly one of the important factors that determine victory or defeat, and if the enemy is allowed to figure it out, our side will lose a great advantage. Although Liuzhou is located inland, and the war has almost never affected here, Shen Shu feels that the kind of topographic maps with relatively high accuracy must not be available on the market, and some are probably the kind of things that fool people. If she wants to see it, the hope is on Xie Changning, if he doesn't have it, then basically don't think about it.

When Xie Changning heard this, he glanced at Shen Shu deeply, and nodded in the end, "Yes, but you can't take it, you can only watch it in the study." Although he didn't think that Shen Shu and a woman could do anything, he was always cautious.

Shen Shu was relieved to hear the affirmative answer, she nodded, "I know." Please help me find it, thank you. ”

Xie Changning heard this, but felt a little strange in her heart, in such a short time, she had already said thank you twice, at first glance she would think that she was very polite, but don't forget that they are husband and wife, so it will only make people feel that she is polite and detached.

He nodded at Shen Shu, turned to the corner of the study, and took the map from a locked bookcase and handed it to her.

After Shen Shu thanked him again, she took the Liuzhou regional chronicle and map and walked to the desk and sat down. It was a large table, with all the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, and a few books scattered around, and it seemed that there were still unfinished official documents. The desk is placed near the window, and some flowers and plants are planted under the courtyard wall facing the window, and when the weather is good, the sun can shine in when the window is opened.

Shen Shu pulled out a chair and sat down, and spread out the map very carefully, occupying almost half of the desktop. She roughly scanned it, figured out the appearance of the mountains and rivers, and sketched the general outline in her mind, before she opened the Liuzhou regional chronicle, but it was not read word by word, it was also just a rough scan, if there were key words she had summarized, she would stop and look carefully, if not, she would continue to turn the page, the speed was so fast, almost catching up with ten lines at a glance.

Her expression fell in Xie Changning's eyes, and she was joking. As he had thought before, these cabinet women, at most, were reading books like the market books. However, Shen Shu looked very serious again, and Xie Changning suddenly felt a little funny. He simply sat next to Shen Shu, took a book that he hadn't finished reading, and read it slowly.

Shen Shu was fully engaged in it at this time, and he didn't pay attention to Xie Changning's movements at all. A book of Liuzhou Regional Chronicles looks quite thick, but the ancient books are different from the modern books, whether the ancient books are copied or printed, the handwriting is very large, one can top the lead words a lot, plus the typography problem, such a book actually does not have many words at all, Shen Shu is reading quickly, and it was quickly finished.

After flipping through the book, he compared the map according to the content he had written down, so that Shen Shu had a rough score in his heart. As for more, you need to go to the field to determine it.

Shen Shu was pondering this question when she was suddenly interrupted by a voice from outside the door. It was Sister Hui'er's voice, talking to the little scholar, "Mother, is she inside?"

The little scholar replied, "Yes, Madame hasn't been out since she came in the afternoon. ”

"Got it, I'll go in and have a look. As soon as Sister Hui'er's words fell, Shen Shu heard footsteps gradually approaching, and after a while, she saw Sister Hui'er entering the house.

"Why are you here?" Shen Shu turned to look at her.

Sister Hui approached Shen Shu'er, and after greeting Xie Changning, who was sitting opposite her, she curiously looked at the maps and books in front of her before replying, "Brother Zhen and I went to the East Courtyard to have dinner with my mother, but when I arrived, Sister Liuli told my mother that you came to the study, so I looked for it." ”

Hearing her say this, Shen Shu remembered that there was such a thing as eating. I went out early this morning, and I only ate the sugar flower that Brother Zhen gave me during the period, and there was nothing else, and after returning to the east courtyard, I sat down for a while and came to the study again, and I stayed until now.

Shen Shu glanced out the window, the sky was already a little dark, and she was indeed a little hungry. She originally wanted to go back directly, but when she thought that there was another Xie Changning in the house, and she had his help before, it would be too rude to leave someone like this, but she didn't want to share the table with him from the bottom of her heart, so she asked him, "Are you going to Aunt Zhou's side for dinner, or are you going to the East Courtyard?"

She didn't invite Xie Changning directly, but dragged Aunt Zhou out and put it in the previous option, although she didn't say it explicitly, but it was easy to hear the meaning of her words. She felt that with Xie Changning's proud personality, she would definitely not choose to stay after hearing this, but who knew that she guessed wrong, Xie Changning didn't know how to think, so she really chose the second option.

"Let's go to the East Courtyard, it just so happens that Brother Yan'er is also over there, I haven't seen him for a long time. ”

Shen Shu, "......" He didn't say it, she almost forgot that there was a one-year-old child who also lived with her, mainly because Brother Yan'er was really well-behaved, he didn't cry or make trouble on weekdays, and he was accompanied by a nurse, so she didn't have to worry about it at all.

Shen Shu failed to "send" Xie Changning away as he wished, so he could only go back to the East Courtyard with him.

Brother Zhen waited in the house, and when he saw Shen Shu, he called his mother with a smile, and then said hello to Xie Changning. Soon Brother Yan'er also came, and was held by the nurse, because Xie Changning said that he wanted to meet him. In the past, he didn't eat with Shen Shu, because he had just been weaned, and recently he had eaten liquid food such as mushy or steamed eggs.

It was about because the pronunciation of the word mother was corrected by Shen Shu too many times before, Brother Yan'er seemed to remember her, and when he saw her at this time, he directly called his mother, although the pronunciation was still not standard enough in Shen Shu's ears, but it was much better than before, and the words were clear, and he could understand it without guessing.

Brother Yan shouted to Shen Shu and stretched out two little fat hands to her, wanting to hug her.

Shen Shu thought about it, took him from the nurse's hand, and felt a little heavy as soon as she entered her arms. She subconsciously recalled the feeling she felt before she hugged her, and it seemed that it didn't take long for Brother Yan'er to grow again.

Xie Changning was slightly surprised when he heard Brother Yan'er open his mouth to call someone, and it was still so clear, and asked, "When will Brother Yan'er call someone?"

It can be seen that he is really a little negligent about this child. However, it is not incomprehensible, he is only in the year of his establishment, and he has five children, there are two concubines in front of Sister Hui and Brother Zhen, and a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses born by Aunt Zhou in the middle, and Shen Yu was seriously ill in the year Brother Yan was born, and he couldn't care much about him at all.

The nurse replied with a smile, "It's been a while since I returned to Uncle's words, but I couldn't say it clearly before, and now I can only say the word mother clearly, and I still rely on Mrs. to teach it for a morning." The nurse's words can be regarded as selling Shen Shu a good thing, and saying good things about her in front of Xie Changning.

When Xie Changning heard this, his eyes fell on Shen Shu's face, and when he saw her playing with Brother Yan'er, the expression on her face was faint, and she only felt a sense of disobedience.

"I didn't expect you to have such patience. He said.

Shen Shu nodded, "Hmm." ”

After talking for a while, the people in the kitchen had already put all the dishes on the table, and several of them were Shen Shu's favorite food. Of course, this is not something that the kitchen people have figured out by themselves, but Sister Hui has specially explained it.

The nurse hugged Brother Yan and went to the compartment.

In the process of eating, Brother Zhen, who was sitting next to Shen Shu, was probably a little jealous, while eating, his little face was raised, his expression was a little sullen, he took a bite of food, and stared at Shen Shu again.

Shen Shu quickly noticed his eyes, didn't understand why he had this expression, and after thinking about it, he gave him a chopsticks with mushrooms and duck palms, and Brother Zhen laughed.

Sister Hui watched from the side, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

Xie Changning glanced at the three people seated, and his color sank, but no one noticed it.

After eating, everyone moved to the side room. Xie Changning teased Brother Yan for a while, and then got up to leave.

Shen Shu hesitated, but still stopped him, "If you're not busy, I have something I want to ask for your opinion." ”

Xie Changning paused, and finally sat down again.

Shen Shu originally wanted to say that Sister Hui would send Brother Zhen back, but before she could speak, Sister Hui brought it up herself. She nodded in response, Sister Hui took Brother Zhen away, the nurse also took Brother Yan away, and the maids who were waiting for them also retreated, leaving only Shen Shu and Xie Changning in the house.

"What do you want to ask?" Xie Changning asked in a deep voice.
