In order to remedy the situation in time, Shen Changan glanced at Ye Qinglan seriously, and then smiled earnestly: "I haven't seen my sister-in-law for more than half a year, and I was shocked to see my sister-in-law holding such a big belly. In fact, if you take a closer look now, even if your sister-in-law is pregnant, she has become fat twice, and she has some spots on her face...... is still an out-and-out beauty. ”

…… Listen, that's the truth! People are fat twice, don't talk about big bellies, and there are spots on their faces. Just like this, where else can you see?

Ye Qinglan pulled the corners of her lips, and she could be regarded as receiving Shen Changan's praise. This time, he refused to even give Gu Xinian a complaining look.

Will you die if you keep your mouth shut and say less?! Gu Xinian glared at Shen Changan hatefully.

Shen Changan reflexively closed his mouth. The world is finally quiet!

Mrs. Zheng smiled and said, "Lunch is ready, let's go to the dining room!" ”

……

In fact, as long as you get used to the way the Shen family's father and son speak, there is no fuss. Gu Hong and Mrs. Zheng tried to convince and comfort themselves in their hearts. Military generals, they can't be asked to be as literate as scholars, and there's nothing wrong with speaking directly. At least, they don't have to bother trying to figure out what's going on in their minds. Because it's all on the face

Shen Changan was overly excited, and basically only giggled.

Shen Ming saw his son's virtue, and he also felt ashamed, so he simply stopped looking at him and drank with Gu Hong and Gu Xinian's father and son. After three rounds of drinking, everyone's conversation became stronger.

Gu Hong curiously asked about the border war, and Shen Ming talked eloquently, not to mention Gu Xinian and Shen Changan. Even Ye Qinglan pricked up her ears curiously.

After living in the prosperous and peaceful capital for a long time, it is almost impossible to imagine what the war at the border pass is like. But in fact. War is always a cruel thing. The lives of soldiers are extremely fragile on the battlefield. Shen Ming said casually that there were at least a few thousand soldiers who had died on the battlefield this year. If you're lucky, you can find the body and incinerate it and bring it back to the capital. If you are unlucky, you can only bury your bones in another country......

Everyone fell silent together, and the atmosphere became a little solemn.

Shen Ming was used to life and death, but he didn't have so much sentimentality, and said lightly: "As soldiers, it is their destination to die on the battlefield in order to protect the territory and defend the people safely. Even if they die in another country, I think their souls will rest in peace. When he said this, the momentum of a battle-hardened soldier on Shen Ming's body was undoubtedly revealed.

Ye Qinglan looked at Shen Ming. There was a natural expression of respect and admiration in his eyes.

Gu Hong and Mrs. Zheng were also slightly moved, and some bad impressions of Shen Ming before disappeared in an instant. Even with Shen Changan, he has changed a lot. Although the generals are a little rude and unliterate, if there is no bloody battlefield for them to defend the country, how can the country and the people be prosperous and prosperous? Gu Xiyu can marry such a man who stands up to the sky, it is not a kind of luck.

Gu Xinian also seemed to have some feelings in his heart, but after seeing Shen Changan's stupid look of joy, that change suddenly disappeared, and it was directly replaced by spit.

When a baby sister marries such a man, it's like a flower stuck in cow dung!!

Since the engagement of the family. Shen Changan never saw Gu Xiyu again. At this time, I was in the Dingguo Mansion, and that thirst was gathering and brewing in my heart, ready to move. From time to time, I glanced out, but unfortunately my neck stretched out longer. There is no sign of the Yiren either.

Shen Chang'an's appearance is so obvious, not to mention Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian, even the sluggish Gu Hong can see it. But. It is customary not to meet each other before getting married. As a result, everyone tacitly turned a blind eye to Shen Changan's desire.

Even Ye Qinglan. I also decided not to help this time. Of course, she would never admit that she was angry because of the few words that Shen Changan said. She's not so careful!!

After lunch. Gu Hong, Gu Xinian, father and son and Shen Ming went to the study to drink tea and chat, but Shen Changan followed Mrs. Zheng and Ye Qinglan to the side hall and sat dryly. Although he didn't say anything, just looking at the two of them like this was really soft-hearted.

Mrs. Zheng couldn't give up her mind in the end, and ordered in a low voice to let the maid go to the Cold Moon Pavilion to call Gu Xiyu out.

Shen Changan's ears were very sharp, and after hearing Gu Xiyu's name, he suddenly turned his heart overjoyed, sat up straight with spirits, and specially straightened his clothes.

Ye Qinglan and Mrs. Zheng glanced at each other, and both smiled.

Gu Xiyu came soon. She had just passed her seventeenth birthday, and it was the most beautiful time for a woman, like a budding flower blooming slowly, and only a shallow smile exuded a dazzling brilliance.

Shen Changan took a breath, stared at her body, and couldn't take his eyes off her anymore.

Gu Xiyu was also very happy to see Shen Changan, she didn't understand those vulgar rules or anything, and she didn't have the shyness of a woman to be married when she saw her fiancé, so she looked at Shen Changan with a smile: "You haven't come to see me for a long time." ”

Shen Changan couldn't help but get up: "I actually wanted to come to see you for a long time, but I never had a chance to come to the door......"

Mrs. Zheng coughed heavily. Gu Xiyu is simple by nature and does not understand the world, and it is just enough to speak unscrupulously. Shen Changan is an adult man, and he should always pay attention to his words!

……

Shen Changan finally heard Mrs. Zheng's hint, smiled a little wryly, and sat back honestly. It's just that his eyes are firmly glued to Gu Xiyu's body as if they have their own opinions.

Mrs. Zheng is used to seeing Sven and polite people on weekdays, how can she ever see such a ...... Straightforward and unscrupulous? I couldn't help but cough twice.

Before Shen Changan could react, Gu Xiyu looked at him curiously: "Mother, why do you keep coughing today, are you sick?" Ask someone to come into the house and check your pulse! ”

Mrs. Zheng: "......"

Ye Qinglan almost laughed out loud, barely held back, and opened her mouth to relieve Mrs. Zheng: "Mother-in-law probably drank tea too quickly just now, so she coughed a few times." You don't need to see a doctor, you will be fine later. ”

Gu Xiyu didn't hear anything unusual at all, and obediently hummed and didn't say anything. Then walked over to Ye Qinglan and sat down.

With Mrs. Zheng and Ye Qinglan here, Shen Changan and Gu Xiyu didn't have much chance to speak at all. But she glanced at him, and he ...... Just keep staring at her!

Mrs. Zheng took a deep breath and comforted herself repeatedly. Young people, always warm and straightforward, it's understandable that there are some gaffes when you see your sweetheart. After settling down, Mrs. Zheng squeezed out a smile and asked, "Shen Gongzi, your mother died early, and Ling Zun has not continued the strings. For so many years, I heard that there was not even a person in charge in the Shen Mansion. I don't know who takes care of the daily chores on weekdays? ”

Shen Changan replied without thinking: "On weekdays, it is Mother Lu who is in charge of the trivial affairs in the house, she is my mother's dowry maid back then, and she is also my nursing mother, who has been in our Shen family for decades. After my mother died, she took care of the housework. Over the years, she has also been very dedicated. ”

The population of the Shen family is simple, and the master is only two of them, father and son, and they are not very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Mother Lu is mainly responsible for managing the subordinates in the house, as well as dealing with people in other mansions for red and white ceremonies.

Mrs. Zheng nodded thoughtfully, her expression a little subtle.

With Gu Xiyu's temperament, she can't be a housewife at all. In the future, even if you marry into the Shen family, you have to rely on the people around you to help take care of trivial matters. I don't know what the temperament of this Lu's mother is, and whether it is reliable......

Shen Changan, who has always been dull, was rare and clever this time, and he actually guessed what Mrs. Zheng was worried about, and explained with a smile: "Mother-in-law, please rest assured, Mother Lu has always been very measured in her work, and she will never do that kind of thing to bully her master." After Yu'er gets married, the trivial matters in the house will be handed over to Yu'er. If she wants to ask in person, if she thinks it's too cumbersome, she will hand it over to a trusted maid and steward by her side. ”

These words sounded quite pleasant, and Mrs. Zheng finally had a smile on her face: "It's too early to say these words, in short, as long as you can treat Yu'er well and don't let her be wronged, I will be relieved." ”

Shen Changan puffed up his chest and made a promise without hesitation: "I am fortunate to be able to marry Yu'er as a wife, which is a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes." In the future, I will definitely treat her wholeheartedly, and I will never let her suffer the slightest grievance. The manly husband is full of words, what I said must count, and my mother-in-law can rest assured. These frank and straightforward words, coupled with his sincere and enthusiastic look, make people unable to doubt his true feelings.

Gu Xiyu couldn't help but raise her eyes and look at Shen Changan. The eyes of the two were intertwined.

Mrs. Zheng was also a little moved, and suddenly had a little more affection for this prospective son-in-law.

Of course, good feelings belong to good feelings, and there should be no less principles.

Mrs. Zheng glanced at Gu Xiyu and said gently, "Yu'er, aren't you still in trouble?" Let's go back to the Cold Moon Pavilion first. "It's unreasonable to let the two of them meet, and of course they can't stay too long.

Gu Xiyu blinked her black and white eyes, and said innocently: "Mother, you must have remembered it wrong!" I've been idle all day, what's the matter! ”

Mrs. Zheng: "......"

Ye Qinglan held back a smile and started a round: "Sister Xiyu, what my mother means is that you have been out long enough, and it is not appropriate to stay any longer." You'd better go back to Cold Moon Pavilion first! In the future, after the two of you get married, there will be a lot of time spent with each other day and night, so you are not in a hurry at this moment, right? ”

Isn't it enough to say it so clearly!

Gu Xiyu answered obediently, got up and said goodbye to everyone. (To be continued......)
