It took an early morning for Shen Rouning and his party to kiss Chen Houji.

There wasn't much delay.

Sure enough, Mrs. Shen Si's expression was still indifferent, and she was not too moved because she saw the Chen family's nephew, and when she heard Chen Houji say that she was here to "welcome" them, the corners of her mouth were slightly mocking, and she just listened indifferently to the greetings between Shen Si and Chen Houji, and never spoke.

Chen Houji obviously never expected that this would be the case when he recognized his relatives.

Fourth Master Shen, his uncle, reacted normally, and it could be seen that he was genuinely happy. In Chen Houji's eyes, with just a few words of conversation, he can also judge that his uncle is a person with good conduct and knowledge, and he has a very good personality.

But his aunt ......

Before Chen Houji went out, his mother had hinted to her that the Chen family's only aunt and grandmother had many unavoidable things at the beginning, and they were also in a hurry. Chen Houji had imagined many of his aunt's current life, but he never imagined that this would be the case.

The indifference is like a piece of ice that does not melt all year round in the far north, and people can't get close to it.

At the end of a confession, she just glanced at him more seriously and said a few words, "um". If he hadn't inquired and found out that his aunt was not physically defective, he would have thought that she couldn't speak!

"I want to sit with my cousin and cousin, I wonder if it's convenient?" Chen Houji asked politely.

He was originally a naturally cheerful person, and he always smiled without reservation, and his mouth was wide open, revealing a mouthful of neat and bright white teeth, which was very brilliant. But after facing Mrs. Shen Si in the early morning, he didn't seem to be able to laugh anymore, so he could only pull the corners of his mouth and show a polite smile.

Shen Duanrong looked at Shen Rouning.

Shen Rou thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "This is very good, our sister and brother also want to be close to Cousin Ji." ”

At this moment, her words and demeanor were extremely well-behaved, which made Chen Houji couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The carriage moved slowly, and the original group, plus one more Chen Houji, finally set off again and started to move forward. Beside them, the sun had passed over the treetops.

"Cousin Ji, is my grandfather strict? What is his hobby? Don't like what? ”

"Where's the eldest uncle?"

"Where's the eldest aunt?"

“……”

Along the way, Shen Rouning fully showed Chen Houji a well-behaved little girl who was very curious about the capital and her grandfather Chen family, who was not educated and did not have much difference from ordinary ladies.

She inherited the good looks of Mrs. Shen Si, although she has not grown, but that kind of exquisite and pure beauty is even more unbearable to destroy and difficult to refuse, under her clear, curious and a little pleading gaze, even if it is impatient, she is willing to solve her doubts.

Well-behaved and intelligent.

It's extra good-looking.

Such a little cousin, normally, only made Chen Houji a little suspicious, the little girl he was impressed with yesterday, was it just his hallucination, not real? And he was suffering from snake venom at that time, and the situation was really not good, and it was possible that he would hallucinate......

"Auntie, she's always been like this...... Don't like to talk? Chen Houji put aside the messy thoughts in his heart and asked Shen Rongning and Shen Duanrong tentatively.

Shen Duanrong's little face immediately changed color.

Shen Rouning also lost her smile and said softly: "Mother really doesn't like to talk. ”

"She's been very silent, not against you, cousin, and please don't be angry with your mother." Shen Rou's clear eyes showed some sadness, and explained for Mrs. Shen Si: "My father said that it was because she had pain in her heart that she couldn't solve it, so she could only be indifferent. ”

Chen Houji looked at the pair of siblings, thinking about the situation when they recognized their relatives just morning, and couldn't help but feel pity for the two of them, and said, "That shouldn't be ......."

You shouldn't treat your children with indifference......

Chen Houji has grown up to such a big age, and he has personally experienced that he has seen in his life that there are bastard fathers, but he has never loved the biological mothers of his children. It doesn't matter if the biological mother is rich or poor, expensive or cheap. Even the mother who had to sell her children when she encountered a famine must be sad in her heart, and she also hopes that her children can live a better life.

I've never seen anything like my aunt.

Chen Houji finally remembered that he couldn't criticize his elders, especially in front of the elders' children, so he swallowed the unfinished words and said sincerely: "When you arrive in the capital, everything will definitely be fine." ”

"Cousin and cousin, but rest assured, grandfather and father and mother will definitely be very happy."

"You see, I'll come over this time, isn't it just my grandfather's order?"

In fact, Chen Houji's visit this time was not at the order of Mrs. Chen, but when he heard his grandfather say that his aunt's family would come to the capital to let his mother prepare for the reception, Chen Houji invited him to go out this time.

And his own original thoughts, in no part, are not how to value this family affection (he has never been in contact with each other, he doesn't remember, the so-called 'aunt', is just a symbol) but he is tired of staying in the capital and wants to go out for a walk......

Thinking of this, Chen Houji's heart was full of guilt!

So many years!

They are all dear relatives!

“…… Actually, the mother is not really ruthless. Shen Rou condensed Chen Houji's expression and felt that it was almost the same, so she said to him with anticipation: "Cousin Ji's identity is different from ours...... If Cousin Ji was willing to talk to his mother more, his mother's mood would definitely be better. ”

The mode of getting along with the four of them has been fixed for so many years, and there will definitely be no major changes in the short term, even if Shen Rouning and Shen Duanrong are coquettish and stupid, they also know that Mrs. Shen Si is even less disgusted and unhappy.

But Chen Houji is an outsider. Well, a descendant who is close to each other.

He went to talk to Mrs. Shen Si, and even if Mrs. Shen Si was unhappy in her heart, she had to endure a little.

Chen Houji, who was full of guilt, coupled with the pleading of his little cousin, had the heart to help...... Along the way, it can be said that he is particularly enthusiastic about the Shen family-

Every morning and evening, he will inevitably go with Shen Rouning and Shen Duanrong to greet Shen Si and his wife, talk happily, talk about the new interesting things that happened in the capital, and always don't forget to ask Mrs. Shen Si: "Auntie, do you say it's interesting?" ”

Or talking about the scenic spots in the capital, asking: "Auntie, you must have been there back then, right?" ”

Or some nobles: "Auntie, do you know Mrs. So-and-so?" ”

In short, he would only be satisfied if Mrs. Shen Si opened her mouth. At the beginning, his smile was still a little stiff in the face of the indifferent Mrs. Shen Si, and his heart was a little drumming...... But after receiving the prayers of Shen Rouning and Shen Duanrong, and after hearing Mrs. Shen Si speak, the sad joy on the faces of these two children, Chen Houji felt stiff and wanted to laugh.

Smiling and smiling, he was used to serving in a funny way by Mrs. Shen Si's side......

It's a pity that there is really not much distance from Shenjia Village to Jianning Capital.

No matter how slow and delayed the road is, it only takes three or four days to get there.

So, on the morning of the sixth day of February, several carriages of Shen Si and his entourage slowly drove into this ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River.
