On the fifth day of the fifth month of the eleventh year, Emperor Huiping died. According to his will, the coffin was placed in the Yonghe Palace, and the tomb was guarded by the heir emperor Xu Chengping.

On May 20, under the Ministry of Rites and the ministers, the curtain was hung outside the palace gate, the fierce ceremony was suspended, and Xu Chengping ascended the throne with an edict and changed the Yuan to hang the arch. The ceremony was solemn and solemn, because it was still in the mourning period, only musical instruments were set up above His Majesty and no music was played, and only bells and drums were sounded at noon.

Xu Yan, as an auxiliary minister, stood at the head of the ministers, watching Xu Chengping, who was only seventeen years old, covered himself in a dragon robe and ascended to the throne. The young child who carefully hid in the harem many years ago has already grown up, with both literature and morality, and a natural temperament. In the months when Emperor Huiping taught by word and deed, Xu Chengping made rapid progress, and now he has ascended the throne of God, which has his own dignity and prestige.

In the first few months of the change of power, Xu Yan was still very busy.

Fortunately, Xu Chengping is extremely talented, and with the support of important ministers such as Xu Yan and Lu Jidao, he gradually mastered government affairs, and the court took on a new look.

After a busy June and July, and in the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, Xu Yan finally had a quiet time here. Xu Shi's little bun is now ten months old, and her chubby little arms are wrapped around Shen Yan's neck every day, and her fleshy face is pasted over, and she is coquettish.

Xu Yan patted his little ass from time to time, "A boy will only be spoiled in his arms every day, what should he do when he grows up." Xu Shixiao Baozi turned his head and glared at him, snorting and ignoring him. Xu Yan couldn't grab his wife, so he had to stretch out his big arms and take the big and small ones into his arms.

The moon gradually climbed up the willow tops, and hung there roundly, with clear light everywhere.

Because it is still in the filial piety period of Emperor Huiping, there is no banquet inside or outside the palace today, Xu Yan and Shen Yu only set up a small banquet in the Changxi Building, a few plates of melon and fruit snacks, two pots of tea and sweet wine, and when the family sits, it is enough to be happy.

"The emperor has already agreed to let me go to Luling," Xu Yan let Shen Yu lean into his arms, and slowly combed her hair, as if she couldn't comb out her feelings, "After the court settles down, it will issue an edict, with Wuchuan as a fief, and you don't have to worry about the government anymore." This palace in the capital will also be retained, and it will be used when you have something to do in Beijing. ”

"So fast?"

"Promise quickly, but wait for the will to come down, I'm afraid I will get this time next year. After all, he has just ascended to the throne of God, and in many things, he may not be able to suppress those courtiers, and it will be easier to do it with me, a fierce and evil person. ”

Shen Yu smiled, "Sure enough, it's father and son, the first emperor likes to scare people with you, but I didn't expect the emperor to be too." ”

"This must have been what the imperial brother taught him in the first place." Xu Yan smiled and looked back at Xu Shixiaobaozi, who was sleeping in the nurse's arms next door, "When the child is a little older, I will take you to the north as you wish." ”

"Won't we have to wait another three or four years?" Shen Yu turned over and habitually wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Are you still taking this kid with you? He can't stand the bitter cold of the Northland, and your body hasn't recovered yet, and it's okay in three or four years. ”

"But I'd rather go sooner." Shen Yan squinted her eyes, "That year in Luling, when I heard you talk about the scenery in the north, I was fascinated, and after three years, I only moved a little bit to the north." I didn't expect to have to wait another three years, alas. ”

She sighed like this, Xu Yan thought about it and compromised a little, "Those two years? ”

"Next June, right? It was the hottest day of the year, and I wasn't afraid to go anywhere. Shen Yu counted with her fingers, "At that time, the dust should have settled on the court, just go north to play around, and then move to Luling when you come back, there is nothing to worry about." ”

"It's fine." Xu Yan nodded, "It's just that you still have to explain it well, so that no one will take care of us when we leave." ”

"I've already told Uncle Jiang and Master Han about this, they will take care of the bookstore that opened before and the one that will open recently." Shen Yu turned over, in good spirits, "Uncle Jiang also said that if this library is done well, he will find an opportunity to propose to the emperor in the future that the government will take over, but it will be cheaper." ”

"Is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible." Shen Yu is a person who has come over, and her tone is firm, "When we arrive in Luling, we will continue to open bookstores and bookstores, and we will always benefit more people if we continue to open them one by one." ”

Xu Yan was also relieved.

The moon gradually climbed to the middle of the sky, although there was no longer a lantern festival this night, sitting on the theater tower and looking at the past, the mansions in the capital were still brightly lit, accompanied by the bright moon and stars, and I couldn't sleep all night.

Xu Shixiao Baozi woke up, and waved his arms to find his mother. When the nurse hugged her, she was preempted by Xu Yan, caught the fat child, stuffed it in the crook of the left arm, but stopped Shen Yu with her right hand, hated Xu Shi so much that she danced with her hands, and struggled to climb into her mother's arms, but in the middle of the bad father's chest, she didn't succeed in crawling for a long time, so she could only sit obediently with her mouth shut.

The full moon flowers are good, and they are harmonious.

Vertical arch for three years, in March, the carriages and horses outside the Duanwang Mansion are in array, and it is very lively.

Duanwang Xu Yan took the princess and the little prince to the seal, and the Emperor of the Vertical Gong came to say goodbye in person, giving Xu Yan enough face. Outside, a group of courtiers surrounded Xu Yan to say goodbye, and Jiang Zhen took Shen Yan's hand and cried again, "I thought we could stay together in the capital, who knew that you were going back to Luling and leaving me here." ”

Shen Yu was a little sad when she cried, but she was more happy in her heart-

Although the capital is prosperous and rich, although it is noble and majestic, it is like a delicate cage after all, and there is no freedom everywhere. Although he relied on his identity as the princess, in addition to not provoking the queen mother and queen in the palace, he was almost able to run rampant, but the entertainment that could not be pushed off every year could also annoy people. On the contrary, it is not as vast as the world of Luling, and you can do whatever you want.

She took Jiang Hao's hand and didn't say goodbye, but said, "My aunt and cousin are here, where will I leave you?" Besides-" She pointed to Jiang Hao's increasingly prominent belly, "I'm about to be a mother, and I always have a child in my belly, how can I become a person?" ”

Jiang Zhen hated, "I just can't bear you to leave, but I am made fun of!" ”

Jiang Ling next to her looked at it, "Zhen'er has become a mother-in-law and mother since she conceived this child, and she has a good temper thanks to her brother-in-law, so it's me, hum." ”

"How about you?" Jiang Zhen looked at her sister, "When my brother-in-law treated you well, I didn't make fun of you, but now you are making fun of me." However, when he turned his gaze to the outside of the house and looked at Wei Rong who was standing beside Xu Yan, he couldn't help but smile.

Wei Rong is not acting properly, he is out of the sword in many things, but he loves his wife very much, which is in line with Jiang Zhen's temperament.

Later, Aunt Jiang and the aunt of the Meng family, the princess of Nanping County and others were also there, seeing the sisters like this, they were all happy.

However, in the end, he was leaving, a group of people crowded out of the house, Wei Rong saw the crack in the corner of Jiang Zhen's eyes at a glance, and immediately rushed over, "Bullied by the princess again?" ”

"Why!" Jiang Zhen hurriedly shook her head, as if she was pitiful!

"It's because she is reluctant to take the princess and refuses to let her go. When my brother-in-law is free in the future, I will also take her back to Luling for a walk. Jiang Ling explained.

Wei Rong patted his chest, "This is nature." In the past, when I went, I had no place to stay, so I could eat and drink as much as I wanted. "In the end, I was afraid that my pregnant wife would save up her emotions, so when people weren't paying attention, I coaxed a few words.

The carriage and horses walked up in a hurry, there was an honor guard in front of the road, and there were countless guards and servants in the back, Xu Yan and Shen Yu walked in front in the car, and the nurse was holding Xu Shi's small bun in the back. Gradually leaving the door of the house, turning the corner, the people who saw them off were hidden behind the green wall, Shen Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when she leaned on Xu Yan's arms, the corners of her eyes gradually moistened.

How can you be reluctant? Elderly grandmother, loving Aunt Jiang and Princess Nanping County, interesting little uncle, two close cousins...... After staying in the capital for a few years, where can you really say that you can give up?

Xu Yan didn't have any sad feelings, and pecked her on the lips, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Shen Ming are waiting in Luling, what are you crying for?" ”

Comforting like this, Shen Yu thought of the mountains and rivers of Luling City, and felt a lot better.

It has been several years since she married into the capital, Shen Ming and Mrs. Shen have met a few times, but her father Shen Ping, who loves her the most, has never met, and now he is looking forward to returning to his hometown.

When he arrived in Deluling City, the mansion of Duanwangfu had already been built, and Shen Ping took Mrs. Shen and Shen Ming and his wife to wait outside the mansion.

Several years have passed, but Shen Ping has not been able to change the slightest, he is still an elegant master in Luling Academy, and a well-known bibliophile in Luling City. Since he beat Shen Ming and got married, he has been even more satisfied, and his whole person is in good spirits, and he has more style than in his early years.

Mrs. Shen and her daughter-in-law Meng Xian stood together, like a blooming peony standing on the edge of a begonia.

Standing next to him, he was still tense, but he was much softer than when he first came back.

After Xu Yan and Shen Yan got out of the car, everyone knelt down, Shen Yan helped the family up one by one, and when they got Meng Xian, the two of them each smiled. First, Shen Yu quipped, "I didn't expect to go around and around, my sister-in-law turned out to be you." ”

Meng Xian smiled lightly, "I didn't expect Chiayi to have such a fate with the princess when we met again." When they let go of their hands, Meng Xian unconsciously protected her hands on her abdomen, and Shen Yan glanced at it, and couldn't help but be happy.

Xu Shi's little bun was already able to run and jump at this time, and when he entered the mansion, he saw all kinds of playthings prepared by Shen Ping and his wife, and he couldn't move his footsteps, pestering Shen Ming to ask for this and that.

Gather together on that day, and when Xu Yan and Shen Yu have finished arranging the things in the house, they will pick up the Shaoguang in early summer and go to the Qing with the Shen family.

Outside the city of Luling, there was already thick green everywhere, the breeze gusted, Xu Yan and Shen Fei rode horses in the wilderness, and arrived at a flower dock, Shen Fei temporarily rested and slowly looked at the flowers. Behind Xu Yan holding Xu Shi in his arms, standing more than ten steps away from her, he was pointing and saying something, because his father and son were upwind, and the voice came intermittently-

"At that time, your mother loved to come here to play...... He was too short to reach the horse's back, and he had to step on a stone to turn over and get on the horse...... She can't ride, she doesn't dare to let go of her horse by the neck......"

Shen Yu listened to it, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

When she met Xu Yan, she was already skilled in equestrianism, and listening to what Xu Yan said, she should still be learning to ride a horse at that time. That's still ...... When she was eleven years old? Xu Yan had seen her at that time? Hmph, he has been biting and refusing to say anything in the past few years, it turns out that he remembered her so early!

A little proud, Shen Yu rode up to the father and son, smiling brightly, "I heard all such a loud voice." When he looked at Xu Yan, the corners of his lips couldn't help but provoke.

Xu Yan didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "At that time, we met early, and you found out." ”

The cool breeze of summer swept across the field, sending the rich aroma in the flower dock, and Shen Yan's light summer shirt fluttered in the wind. At that time, she was only an eleven-year-old girl, but now she is in her early twenties, with a husband, children, and the library of her dreams.

The couple turned over and dismounted, and let Xu Shi go to play in the flower dock, Xu Yan took his wife in his arms and walked slowly on the grass, tilting his head and kissing her on the lips.

At that time, I thought about it, and it remained unchanged for ten years.
