Shuheng: This is the first time I have seen Shen Zangxiang after getting married.

Mrs. Xiao Yan has a cold face, arrogant and contained, and does not talk to people much, but Shen Zangxiang, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fuguo Mansion who is sitting next to her, is much kinder, although she is young, she behaves appropriately, speaks generously, is elegant and fresh, graceful and fresh, like an iceberg of spring water around Mrs. Yan, is very popular, just to make up for the shortcomings of her mother-in-law.

After serving her mother-in-law, the weakness and arrogance between her eyebrows were hidden, and she would not sigh at the falling flowers and the swallows and swans. Everyone observed the evaluation and found that under the guidance of Xiao Yan's mother-in-law, this is another Duchess of Fuguo who will not make mistakes.

It's just that that sensitive and sentimental temperament hasn't changed much.

She noticed that her mother-in-law was reading the book, and she was looking at it for a while. Thinking about the three sisters-in-law in her house, silently calculating the ages of the two uncles, she couldn't help but guess that even Mrs. Xiao Yan was paying attention to marrying? Her eldest brother, the eldest son of the Shen family, had won the sixth place in the year before last, first did the editing of the Hanlin Academy, and now he is seeking to be released, which can be regarded as a smooth career, and he will make great progress in the future, and the other two brothers have also read out the famous hall and have their own futures, and the Shen family is not what it used to be.

Although she is the eldest daughter-in-law, she is not stronger than the three sisters-in-law's family background - her dowry is full of 1,500 taels - her grandfather is honest, and her mother is confused. If there is really Shuheng as a younger brother and sister, although the two have a very good relationship, they are only afraid - Shen Zangxiang's white sideburns have a faint sense of sweat - the environment is a terrible thing - change people, change emotions. She couldn't have experienced this more deeply. Since she was ordered by the Fuguo Mansion, she has forced herself to miss Dong Huaiyu, and now that she is really married to the Auxiliary Mansion, she only has her mother-in-law in her eyes, even if she dreams back at midnight, she never remembers that person.

If you really become a concubine with Shuheng, can you still play and frolic like before? If Mrs. Xiao Yan really asked for marriage, then the result would be two words-even though the Dingguo couple loved their daughter like a treasure. But Xu Yan's face will be given to anyone, just like her grandfather, who has always wanted to marry her to Qingliu and not touch the nobles of the Houmen, what is the result?

Mrs. Xiao Yan didn't know that she had put so much pressure on her sensitive and thoughtful daughter-in-law, so she only sighed softly in her heart: What a good girl, she should have been the darling of heaven, and I just hope that your fate will be better. Thinking of this, she thought of her husband, who was full of hair and swarthy and stout like a native cow, and couldn't help but feel sorry for herself again.

Later, Shuheng found out about the similarity between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so he laughed narrowly, sure enough, it's not a family that doesn't enter the door, you both have a bit of self-pity and narcissism, and you just happened to be the Duchess of Fuguo. It's just that the former is to pity his parents and ancestors who don't stand out, and the latter is to pity his lack of a satisfactory father-in-law.

But now, the party Shuheng didn't think about it that much at all. Yuan Guogong fell ill as soon as he returned to the capital, on the one hand, he was tired, and on the other hand, he was unwell at this time of year. Shen Zangxiang served her mother-in-law, Gan Yuying only cared about herself, even Wei Yuqin went to Guangji Temple to burn incense, Dong Yin didn't go out for almost a year, I don't know if it was locked up at home to embroider the dowry. It's not interesting to be alone, and I haven't made new friends for the time being, so it's better to go home and do my filial piety.

What a boring spring outing.

When he returned to the house, Shuheng took a break, wrote a word by himself, and came to the side room of Ronghua Hall, when the lady was not there, Yuan Guogong did not rest in the main room.

Shuheng's father is very casual about some things, such as how much money he gets, how many rewards, how many gifts, and he stuffs his brains into Mrs. Yuan for safekeeping, and he never asks. What kind of silver business to expand this year, how many materials to procure, how many personnel changes, it is up to Mrs., about one day suddenly found that the long with a little eye. Mrs. Yuan smiled and said that there are so many people in the eyes of the grandfather that they have to go, and the manpower there has not changed much, where can you pay attention to these? Therefore, over time, the few people brought by Mrs. Yuan seem to be more decent than the original Dingguo Gong. But the casual Yuan Guogong will not care about these - a man who is all focused on the court, and when he competes with the servants in his wife's room, he will close his eyes.

But he's a bit obsessive-compulsive about some things. Like changing clothes. When you go to Yuexin Nunnery, you have to change your clothes, you have to change your clothes when you enter Ronghua Hall, and you naturally have to change your clothes when you go to the outer study. Even if they are the same clothes when they go to Yuexin Nunnery, burn incense and worship the Buddha, and copy and read the scriptures, they are not the same. This one may still be the one when eating, but when you go to the garden, you will definitely change to another.

Another example is the ornament, if the white three-footed bronze workshop in the beast head ring on his treasure shelf has become a plum blossom deer listening to the wind bottle in the Changsha kiln, then he will definitely be able to notice it at the first time, while rummaging through the box and turning the cabinet to mash things out again, while telling the subordinate who thinks he is careful and thoughtful: "Fool and fool, how can there be a listening wind bottle that is not placed in the wall and placed on the lattice?" However, when the next person told him that this was what Madame meant, he would immediately change his words: "This thing is a little broken with thin feet, but it doesn't need to be treasured by Gao Ge, this solemn and simple red sandalwood shelf still has to be placed in solemn bronzes." The delicate bottle should be carved out on the vase behind the curtain of flowers. ”

Shuheng could see that Mrs. Yuan was more informalized in these things, in fact, it was probably one day when she suddenly got a bottle, ah, it was so beautiful, it was so chic, and put it to Xianggong, he liked it-and then put it on it with his own hands with great interest, and he didn't think too much about it at all--this is really a beautiful misunderstanding.

This kind of thing of putting things and changing positions again and again Shu Heng has been watching it for so many years, she is very curious why the two of them don't explain it clearly, and finally found that the words are redundant, Mrs. Yuan is uninhibited and never tired of it, Yuan Guogong had to go with her and force himself to enjoy it, and finally it became a kind of fun. Huh.

For example, now, if Mrs. is here, he will go to the main room to get up and sleep, and today I heard that the old lady Zhongyi Bo is seriously ill and returned to her mother's house, he will definitely rest in the side room. Even if his one-and-a-half-year-old toddler's little cradle was placed there, he would only say that he would bring Brother Yan over and show me. Then, sure enough, he took a look at the mother-in-law's hand, and then asked her to put it back—even though the child was babbling with his arms outstretched and wanting him to hug him. He will hold it, but he will wait until the child is asleep. So in the eyes of Shuheng's two little brothers, this father is really noble and cold.

It's not so much a toothache habit as some kind of weird principle.

So when Shuheng saw Shuyu, this little guy was probing his brain under the screen window of the plum blossom cave, and he couldn't get in. Shu Heng played together, slipped over on tiptoe like a cat from behind, reached out to cover his eyes, and whispered, "Guess who I am?" ”

Brother Yu chuckled, and turned around to hug Shuheng's waist: "Sister is back." ”

"That's smart." Shuheng bent down and rubbed his fleshy cheeks. Shuyu was carefully fed by his aunt who was proficient in the art of tooth change in Zhaoren Palace for almost four years, and he grew tall and strong, Shuheng was very pleased, if his body bones were the same as his father's, it would be really happy and he had to be careful.

"Something to find Daddy?"

Shuyu hesitated and shook his head.

Now that I look closely, Brother Yu is not much like Mrs. Yuan or Grandpa Guo, but a bit like Uncle Wei. The more I observed, the more I found that his calm and seldom-speaking personality was also like that of his uncle. Mrs. Yuan is open-minded and jumpy, and Yuan Guogong is sharp-toothed, but this child is a man of few words, and he always looks dignified when thinking about life.

As soon as Mrs. Yuan arrived in the capital and arranged for her subordinates to settle things, the first thing she did was to pick up her son in the palace, and found that her aunt and nephew were writing there with half of the table. It's just that one is written about the twelve practices of crucian carp, and the other is copied from the Analects. Mrs. Yuan couldn't wait to ask for peace, and when she saw Brother Yu'er, her eyes were full of water, and she looked like a loving mother who had reunited after a long absence: "Mother's good baby, let my mother hug me." ”

As soon as Brother Yu saw Mrs. Yuan, he stood up and greeted his mother, but when he saw Mrs. Yuan's posture, he was stunned and surprised at first, and asked seriously: "Does mother want me to pull your sleeve and be coquettish?" ”

So, why the hell are you talking about it - it's not cute at all. Mrs. Yuan's posture was stiff and her expression frozen, shouldn't she have jumped into her arms like a fledgling and wept? It's not what I imagined.

Mrs. Yuan had no choice but to put away her motherly appearance, put on a strict face to inspect the homework, and looked down at his words, not Yuan Guogong's favorite calligraphy, nor a dignified Xiaokai, but a heavy and dignified Wei Bei, which should have been learned from the fourth child.

"Copy the Analects?"

"Back to my mother, I started to read last year. After learning "Kindergarten Qionglin" and "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment", I just started to memorize "Analects" a month ago. Shuyu's answer is also a one-size-fits-all answer.

"Have you been obedient or have you made your aunt angry?"

Shuyu recalled seriously: "There have been about three times when I was disobedient, but my aunt was never angry. ”

Mrs. Yuan immediately put on an educational posture: "How can you be disobedient? ”

"Why do you have to wear a jacket when it's not cold?"

"My aunt is afraid that you will catch a cold." Mrs. Yuan deliberately put on a stern face. "You shouldn't have her worried."

"Got it." Shuyu immediately turned around and pleaded guilty to Concubine Yuan: "Next time, Niangniang will let me wear a jacket and a cotton coat with a big hair coat, and I will follow it." ”――

There is a kind of coldness in this world called adults who think you are cold, and the little Shuyu is very reluctant to accept this reality.

Concubine Yuan sneered: "Your resentment can rush to the sky, I don't dare to force you anymore." ”

My sister-in-law has not seen her for many years, and she is full of words to say, and Concubine Yuan is also very proud to show Concubine Yuan the fruits of her labor, and show him the growth booklet of the royal brother, how many inches taller, how much fat, what food he likes, what games he likes, and so on. He also said that he just learned to count last year, and Concubine Yuan taught him to plan to plate, a cat catches two mice a day, how many do you catch in ten years? Answer: Eighteen. No, no, Concubine Yuan corrected him seriously, ten days and ten days, it should be twenty. No, no, no, Shuyu corrected her seriously, ten days off, the tenth day of the cat to play, it is busy on the beam of the house to tease the birds, does not catch mice, only nine days of rat hunting, so it is 2918.

His reasons were so good that Concubine Yuan was speechless.

This gossip talked about the return of the tired bird of Jinwusi. Mrs. Yuan took her baby son home and then complained about her thoughts, and Concubine Yuan saw her off at the palace gate. The mother and son walked on the road under the palace wall in high spirits, and suddenly a bird flying home overhead. Mrs. Yuan has not entered the palace for a long time, and when she sees the old things, she can't help but sigh: "Oh, I haven't seen you for a long time, the big white dove in the imperial city is still so energetic." ”

Shuyu glanced back, then looked at Mrs. Yuan, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "That's a crow." ”

Mrs. Yuan laughed: "Fool, the world is as black as a crow, where can there be a white crow?" ”

"There is darkness in the sun, the essence of the sun. The manna falls, the white black sees, and there is Ruiying. He pointed to the sun hanging on the wall that would not set: "Just flew out of there, divine bird." White Crow. ”

"- A pigeon is a pigeon, how do you think so much."

"What the fourth cousin said!" The book is in a hurry.

Mrs. Yuan laughed: "That's His Royal Highness the Prince coaxing you, you are still serious." ”

It is said that the child is very cute and easy to deceive, and as soon as the royal brother entered the palace, he had a strong interest in these pigeon formations that flew over in the sky and flew over mightily, and occasionally one or two landed on the front steps of Zhaoren Palace. That day, he picked up a wounded pigeon chick, snow-white feathers without a trace of impurities, red jewel-like eyes, fluttering at the injured wings, so pitiful. Seeing this, Xiao Si kindly told him that this is auspicious, Bai Wu, it is recorded in the history books, and encountering it means that you are favored by God. Shuyu has always been very happy, wishful thinking that that thing is a white crow. Serve it every day until it is healed.

Now, Mrs. Yuan ruthlessly told the truth, and Shuyu, who was full of a series of fairy tales in his heart, fell into a great deep depression on the first day he met his mother.

"The painting book says that the black is a filial piety bird, and the white black is the response of filial piety, I was originally going to give it to my father and mother."

"My son is so cute, my son is so well-behaved, my son is so good, why should I say it?" Why the hell do I have to

Say it's a pigeon? It's obviously a white crow! It has to be white crow! deeply regretted that she didn't understand childlike innocence, and Mrs. Yuan also fell into a great deep melancholy.

The pigeon that flew silently: So what species is this baby?

This melancholy lasted until Yuan Guogong returned home. Changing clothes compulsively, he freshened up and changed clothes, stood under the wisteria shelf, holding a vine rose, squinting in the sun, and Sanyu behind him with a big fan of pine bone ink stone to blow his hair, his clothes fluttering and his hair fluttering, obviously he had just been assassinated, and he was already comfortable like a fairy at this time. Then when he turned around, he saw the royal brother that Mrs. Yuan specially held in her hand and sent it to him.

Brother Yu hasn't seen his father for many years, and he doesn't know how to behave at once. But judging from her mother's reaction, she didn't seem to be very satisfied. Sure enough, do you still have to pull your sleeves and be coquettish? No, it's too embarrassing, and the sleeves are white and fluttering, like pigeon wings, crying and wiping tears and rushing up to tear it will definitely be disgusted. And according to some of the things told by my aunt, this daddy has a bit of a strange temperament. When he was standing in a daze, Yuan Guogong tilted his head and looked at him, then looked at Mrs. Yuan again, and said slowly: "What is that?" ”――

Afraid! My dad doesn't know me anymore! Cry! Don't I look like a man?

The book ran away in tears. Yuan Guogong is very innocent: Am I so terrible?

Here's the thing. Mrs. Yuan planned to make up for the broken childlike innocence of the young child, and immediately turned back, and said very decisively that it was Bai Wu, my mother was dazzled just now and didn't see it clearly, Nuo Nuo, you see the sun's rays are shining, and they just sprinkle on my eyes. It's a pity that Daddy didn't see it, and Shuyu is still a little regretful. Mrs. Yuan immediately said that it was nothing, and we would make one for him.

"Can a white crow be made? He lives in the sun. ”

"The dwelling in the sun is a three-legged black, his cousin." Mrs. Yuan was full of confidence: "Your brother-in-law Shen's Luban Bureau, they will definitely be able to build it." ”

It turns out that the trap bird is indeed made, but under normal circumstances, who would make a crow? After all, in addition to auspiciousness, gadgets are more associated with dead people, which is a bit unlucky. It's hard to say whether when you give a crow to an old man, you'll be judged as filial piety or a curse by the other person. And the time was short - so the craftsmen had to remodel it, and despite their best efforts, the thing was so abstract that even the crows didn't know it. Luban Bureau hesitated and apprehension: Do you really want to deliver the work? Will it smash the signboard?

And it's still white black - after the painting is completed, the scholar is holding the ball: it doesn't seem to be much the same as he imagined.

Mrs. Yuan comforted him kindly, the key is sincerity, to be honest, your father rarely likes anything, just be affectionate. So,Very cute and easy to deceive Shuyu believed.。

Although Mrs. is very reasonable, Yuan Guogong has always been a bit obsessive-compulsive in playing devices. He saw the son sent by Mrs. Yuan at a glance, well, the appearance is upright, the posture is dignified, the back is straight like a small poplar, not bad, my heart is very relieved, I know at a glance that it is my son.

Shuyu has been hiding the white black behind him, ready to say hello and then bring it out as a surprise. But he overlooked one issue, height. As soon as the corner of Yuan Guogong's eyes lowered, he saw a lump in his hand - his eyebrows couldn't help but pick, his daughter's aesthetic looks like she has been gnawed by a dog, but what's the matter with her son? It's really inelegant! Still hiding behind your back, huh? I also know that I can't see people, and I have to fiddle with people if I can't see people, low-level fun! The daughter is a coquettish and should be tolerant, but the son must be strictly disciplined! So, my tone should be a little harsh, and my expression should be a little more disdainful.

Then, a misunderstanding arose.
