503 Expectation

But it's all incredible.

Chen Houyun couldn't believe it...... But when I think about it, whether I have children or not, it will not be something that can be achieved by working hard for a day or two. So, with the will of his little girl, what can he delay?

Chen Houyun turned over, smelled the fragrance between his wife's hair, and slowly fell asleep.

Early the next morning.

Shen Rouning had just finished washing, and when she greeted Mrs. Chen, she received a letter from Master Shen Si.

"Is there any news from your father?" Mrs. Chen thought back and said, "Counting it, their family has also been in the north for five years, and Duanrong and Ah Huan should grow up!" I don't know what's so good about the ice and snow, I am reluctant to go back to Jiangnan! ”

Shen Rouning unfolded the letter and read it quickly, then presented the letter to Mrs. Chen, and said, "Although Jiangnan is very good, I grew up here since I was a child, and my father and mother inevitably want to see a different scenery outside. Mother, did you say? ”

In the past few years, intermittently, Mr. Chen has also taken Mrs. Chen out a few times. Although it was not as far away as the fourth master and Mrs. Shen Si, a journey took at least half a month, and the longest one took half a year to come back. Therefore, Mrs. Chen also has the right to speak on this point.

Mrs. Chen took the letter and looked at it, and said, "They don't miss their hometown at all." ”

In the letter, Shen Si told Shen Rouning that he had spent more than two years in office, and he was going to change to the next destination, which was several cities on the Biansai grassland, and asked Shen Rouning to tell Chen Houyun. Chen Houyun will help arrange the activities in the Ministry of Officials. Another piece of news is that Shen Duanrong has turned fifteen years old and wants to return to the capital to study in order to prepare for being admitted to Xiucai. And Shen Rouyuan still followed their husband and wife out and did not come back.

Shen Rouning still had a few pieces of paper in her hand, which were letters from Shen Duanrong and Shen Rouyan.

In the past five years, Shen Rouyuan has grown into an eight-year-old girl, and Xiaokai has already written very beautifully.

Time flies especially in children.

"Biansai Grassland ......" Mrs. Chen returned the letter to Shen Rouning. He said worriedly: "What if there is a war? I heard that those people in Western Xia were all bandits. At every turn, they will rob my people, bite the meat like a hungry wolf and leave, disgusting and annoying, maybe when. And the battle began! Your father is going over there. Wouldn't it be too dangerous? ”

"News from the DPRK. I don't know. Shen Rouning said: "When my cousin goes down, we will ask my cousin and then reply to my father." ”

Mrs. Chen nodded. talked to Shen Rouning for a while.

A moment later, Lord Mingjia led the two children in to say hello.

The lord of the Crescent Moon County has bright eyes and bright teeth, and his liveliness is comparable to that of Shen Rou back then. The county lord of Mingjia has begun to instruct her to practice martial arts, and he is very strict, saying that he wants to boil her temperament that she can't sit still...... But I heard that the martial arts talent of the Crescent Moon County Lord is very good, and if he learns martial arts after he is older, when he is naughty, he may not be ordinary naughty!

There is also a child who is just over a year old, named Chen Chengfu, who is a toddler, his eyes are quite smart, but his temperament is relatively quiet, and he rarely cries to attract attention.

just greeted each other, and Chen Chengfang also came over. He'd just bathed, and his hair was still a little damp.

"Why didn't you dry it off and come back?" Mrs. Chen couldn't help but blame: "Autumn is evil, if you are sick, this family will have to worry about you." As he spoke, he instructed the maid to bring a piece of dry cotton cloth, beckoned to Chen Chengfang, and said, "Come here, grandmother will wipe it for you." ”

Chen Chengfang's face turned red, he was very embarrassed to walk over, and hurriedly excused himself: "Grandmother, don't worry! I'm fit now, I'm fine! And this hair is almost dry! "He is almost seven years old, in front of his elders and younger siblings, how can he rely on Mrs. Chen to let her wipe his hair.

Mrs. Chen was not reluctant, put down the veil, and blamed: "If you get sick this time because of this hair, see if your father can spare you!" ”

Chen Chengfang hurriedly looked at Shen Rouning, and seeing that she was worried in her eyes, he hurriedly said, "Mother, I will pay attention next time, don't be angry." ”

Shen Rouning said softly: "I'm not angry. Your grandmother just said that because she always remembered that you were weak when you were a child. But I know that Cheng Fang is now insisting on practicing martial arts to strengthen his body, and he is already very strong, so I don't have to worry, right? ”

"But it's not summer now, and it's rude to have wet hair, so pay attention next time."

The county lord of the crescent moon illustrated: "My brother ran five laps along the martial arts arena today, and he almost didn't faint the crescent moon!" She felt that Chen Chengfang was great today, not as useless as before.

"Really?" Shen Rouning asked pretending to be surprised.

Chen Chengfang is two or three years older than Xinyue, but considering his poor foundation, the intensity of exercise activities has always been very small. After the new moon joined, it was considered to be officially laying the foundation for martial arts. It's just that he is not as good as Crescent Moon in many aspects.

"I'm a slow runner." Chen Chengfang explained embarrassedly.

"To practice martial arts to strengthen your body, you must persevere, and you are not afraid to slow down." Shen Rouning said approvingly: "It's the same with reading. As long as you persevere, you are not afraid of no gain. ”

Chen Chengfang hurriedly restrained his hands and said that he was taught.

Mrs. Chen beckoned the three children to come to her side to talk, and Lord Mingjia sat down beside Shen Rouning and asked in a low voice about Maple Leaf Mountain. Hearing that Shen Rouning had two dates, she looked at Shen Rouning in surprise, glanced at Mrs. Chen, and asked in a low voice, "I see that my sister-in-law has a different smile...... Sister-in-law, don't you have two dates, the eldest brother climbed the tree and picked them off, right? ”

Chen Houyun climbs trees...... The lord of Mingjia can think of it.

Chen Houji can climb trees, and it's almost the same.

Shen Rouning couldn't help but glance at Lord Mingjia angrily. Lord Mingjia understood that his judgment was right, smiled a little proudly, and said, "I know, sister-in-law, you don't believe this at all...... No matter how famous the temple is, there is no way to meet a brother and sister-in-law. ”

"There's no shortage of their sesame oil money." Shen Rouning said in a low voice.

Lord Mingjia laughed for a while, and didn't continue on this. Seeing Shen Rouning holding the envelope, she asked, "Who came from the letter?" ”

Shen Rou replied.

After the county lord of Mingjia sighed at the couple of Master Shen Si and Mrs. Shen Si, he asked again: "The eldest brother also plans to take up another position, right?" Have you figured out where to go? ”

Shen Rouning said: "My cousin hasn't decided where to go yet. It is estimated that it is also going north. I decided to leave next spring. ”

"Then when the time comes, big brother and sister-in-law, you are gone, and I will be even more pitiful, and I will not even have a person to speak." Lord Mingjia deliberately distressed: "When the time comes, I will envy you, sister-in-law." She was envious of Shen Rouning's ability to follow Chen Houyun to take up a foreign appointment.

Shen Rouning shook her head.

Lord Mingjia was a little surprised: "Isn't the sister-in-law on a foreign assignment with the eldest brother?" ”

Shen Rouning didn't explain, but said, "Let's see when the time comes." "If she really has a child, then next spring is with a big belly, how to go? I'm afraid I won't be able to leave......

After that, it is the child's bond, like the lord of Mingjia. He didn't even mention the words "take the child to find Chen Houji".

In this world. Can do whatever you want like your father and mother...... Shen Rouning realized that she was thinking far away, so she hurriedly gathered her thoughts and asked Lord Mingjia, "Second brother should come back even if he counts the days, right?" ”

"yes, it's coming." Lord Mingjia looked at his two children. The daughter was chattering to Mrs. Chen. The son was obediently listening. There was a little more melancholy in the gentle smile, and said: "Year by year, I don't know when it will be an end......"

Children grow up fast.

And she and him always get together less and leave more.

……

The first snow fell a little early this year.

Chen Houyun stood under the porch and shook off the fine snow on his shoulders. When she walked into the house, she was about to speak, but when she saw Shen Rouning sitting on a chair and closing her eyes, she seemed to be asleep, so she couldn't help frowning, approached quietly, and took the book away from her hand.

Shen Rouning opened her eyes, and she was still in a trance for a while.

Chen Houyun said: "If you are sleepy, go to the bed and lie down...... Books are going to be burned. ”

Shen Rouning was a little embarrassed, and said, "I didn't expect that I would also become a layman, and I would be sleepy when I read books." ”

At Mr. Mogusa's suggestion, she didn't touch the paint again after she returned. Even restrained himself, and rarely even took charcoal. I can't paint, so I can only read books in my spare time. But I didn't expect that even if it was a novel, she actually felt boring and tasteless, and she could doze off when she read it.

"You've been through a lot, and of course you'll feel naΓ―ve and bored when you read this kind of script." Chen Houyun flipped through the book in his hand, put it aside, and said, "The story in reality is more exciting and interesting than this. And ghosts, ghosts, spirits, and foxes, you won't believe them. ”

Shen Rou Ning smiled and said, "Let me read the scriptures, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep faster." ”

Chen Houyun glanced at Shen Rouning hesitantly.

Recently, Shen Rouning's sleep has been exceptionally good. You can fall asleep with a pillow in the night! And now, even during the day, do you start to doze off?

Do you really have children?

Today is her little day...... I don't know about her......

He wanted to ask, but he was afraid that Shen Rouning would be pressured by inadvertently, so after thinking about it, he endured it.

Shen Rouning noticed his hesitation and raised her head to give an inquiring look.

Chen Houyun sat down and said, "According to the news, it began to snow in the hinterland of the Xixia grassland as early as the end of September. Heavy snow after snow...... Livestock on the steppe began to die in large numbers as early as half a month ago. ”

If you haven't saved enough autumn fat in the fall, how can you survive the long winter.

Shen Rou couldn't help but sit up straighter.

"The Western Xia sent envoys to the capital to ask for help, and were willing to exchange a large number of livestock, especially excellent horses, for food and clothing to survive this winter." Chen Houyun said: "If Daqing does not agree, a large number of people will begin to freeze to death and starve to death on the grassland." Even if they are lucky enough to survive the winter, their people will be hungrier in the spring...... When the time comes, there will be no way out, as repeated many times in the history books, to go south to loot! ”

"Will Daqing agree to help?" Shen Rouning asked.

Chen Houyun said: "The court is still arguing and considering. If we agree, we Daqing will undoubtedly be able to make a lot of money from Xixia, especially livestock, and there will be no shortage of meat on the table of the people this year...... And if Daqing watched Western Xia starve and freeze, the border would undoubtedly face the wolf of the steppe in desperation. ”

"The ministers tend to show the demeanor of a great power and give assistance, while the generals want to make meritorious contributions, and want to take advantage of the great opportunity for God to weaken the Western Xia, and take the Western Xia in the spring of next year and win the Western Xia in one fell swoop!"

Shen Rouning remembered Chen Houji.

He's been out there for years, isn't he just waiting for such an opportunity? From his point of view, nature is not willing to miss it!

"Then my father won't be able to go to the places he has set for the time being." Shen Rouning didn't express an opinion on such a big matter, and said, "I'll write to him when I go back." ”

"Father-in-law should already know about it." Chen Houyun said: "With my mother-in-law and Ah Yuan here, he won't be reckless, don't worry." ”

Shen Rouning nodded.

"The envoys of Western Xia have been active in the capital recently...... I don't know who I listened to, but I actually let their so-called grassland pearl come to the capital in time, claiming to enter the palace to serve the emperor as a concubine......" Chen Houyun smiled and said: "That grassland pearl does have a rare style of Jiangnan women, I guess the emperor will like it." With the emperor's pity for the beauty, maybe the court directly agreed to the envoy's request, waved his hand, and rewarded countless treasures. ”

Shen Rouning also smiled and said, "If this is the case, it is estimated that all the civil and military officials will vomit blood." ”

What Wenchen wanted was a weakened vassal to Daqing; The generals wanted to expand their territory and take credit from the Western Xia...... If the emperor is so willful, a beauty will be exchanged for countless materials, and everyone's wishes will be disappointed!

And with Emperor Qingping's temperament, he would indeed do such a ridiculous thing!

Fortunately, Emperor Qingping is sometimes ridiculous, but he still doesn't like power and government affairs. With the care of the prince, I believe that the emperor is ridiculous, and the consequences will not be too great.

The two of them chatted casually, and time passed quickly.

At night, Chen Houyun saw Shen Rouning's beautiful sleeping face with even breathing, and couldn't help but quietly put his hand into a place and rubbed it for a long time......

There is no menstrual belt!

It doesn't smell like blood!

Could it be that Ah Ning really has a child?!

Chen Houyun suppressed his desire for ecstasy, and it was difficult to sleep for the first time. For a few days, he **** thought about going home early to smell the smell of Shen Rouning's body, and when he spoke with his colleagues, he became absent-minded.

Occasionally, I think of a happy place and giggle.

Three days passed.

Five days passed.

Ten days have passed!

Not only Chen Houyun couldn't help it anymore, but even the maids around him began to look at Shen Rouning in surprise! But I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Shen Rouning didn't notice that her little day had not come! (To be continued.) )
