Above the river.

Shen Yuanning stood in the wind, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and he didn't look like the world.

He closed his eyes and felt the wind blowing past him, carrying the cold air of the river through his skin and reaching his heart.

The flooding of the river has always been a major hidden danger in the southern border of the Zhou Dynasty.

Finally, now, this hidden danger has been completely solved.

Shen Yuanning opened his eyes and looked at the calm and waveless river, docile as a sleeping dragon. I can't help but think of the first time I stood here, it was boiling and shouting.

At that time, I was able to stand here because of the proposal of one person.

It's also that person who makes a life change.

It has been ten years since King Chang forced the palace.

That year, the storm changed.

It was also that year that I watched her gradually lose her breath in someone else's arms.

Listening to her make a promise with another man in the next life, she didn't even have a chance to say goodbye.

Sanquan stood not far behind Shen Yuanning, watching his master stand by the river.

A gust of wind blew, and Sanquan felt a little cold, so he picked up the cloak in his hand, stepped forward, draped it on Shen Yuanning's shoulder, and said respectfully:

"Master Hou, the river breeze is cold, let's go back early."

Shen Yuanning tidied up his cloak, hummed, and turned to leave.

When he returned to Beijing, it was already half a month later, and after paying an errand to Emperor Jian'an, he took the car back to the Yueyang Marquis Mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion gate, before Shen Yuanning could come back to his senses, a shadow rushed towards Shen Yuanning.

After Shen Yuanning saw it clearly, he hugged it.

Smile and ask them:

"Do you listen to your mother at home?"

The little girl in her arms is seven years old. Because of the fleshy looks, it still looks like a child.

"I'm so good, my mother taught me to draw ducks, and said that when I finish drawing, I can embroider it for my father."

As the little girl spoke, a woman's reprimanding voice came from behind her:

"Don't come down quickly, your father just came back, and you pestered him."

Shen Yuanning looked at the woman who was talking with the villain in his arms, and saw that she was followed by two children, one older and one younger.

The older one was a boy, and he was born beautiful. Only those eyebrows. is very handsome, very similar to the Shen family.

When the girl saw Shen Yuanning looking at her, she carefully blessed her body, and shouted softly:

"Shu'er has seen her father."

Shen Yuanning looked at him. The voice hummed calmly. He turned to look at the boy on the other side of the woman.

His eyebrows were almost carved out of the same mold as the little girl in his arms. They are dragon and phoenix twins, but the one in their arms is more meaty.

The little boy also followed his brother's example and asked Shen Yuanning for peace.

After that, Shen Yuanning looked at the woman who was looking at him and smiling. Said:

"Qiu Niang, thank you for your hard work."

Xu Shi Yingying smiled and said:

"Where does Master Hou say, these are things that are within Qiu Niang's business."

The woman in front of her was the original Aunt Xu.

After that palace change, because of Shen Changning and the involvement with the Feng family, the Shen family was somewhat implicated.

But because Shen Yuanning reported a letter to Emperor Xiaozhao early in the morning, he was worth the credit. A year later, Shen Xiaoquan, the Marquis of Yueyang, died of illness, and the young Shen Yuanning became the Marquis of Yueyang.

Because the new emperor still reused Shen Yuanning, for a while, Shen Yuanning became a hot figure in the capital.

This popularity is not because of anything else, but because Shen Yuanning once had two wives, but later due to various reasons, one died of illness, and the other also died after leaving.

Now there is only one childless aunt and a concubine son by his side.

When many families began to bother to build bridges, Shen Yuanning suddenly made a move that shocked everyone's sight.

He helped the aunt next to him into the main room, and that aunt still didn't have any net worth background.

While everyone was sighing, they were all sighing that aunt had a good life.

From Aunt to Mrs. Hou, isn't it just a step to the sky?

Xu sometimes can't understand that Shen Yuanning doesn't love him at all as the outside world says, and he has always been respectful.

Why did you let other family girls go, and helped yourself to be the main room?

Xu had something in his heart, so he asked inadvertently.

I remember that Shen Yuanning said at that time:

"You're the best fit."

The most suitable, but not the most favorite.

The Xu family understood Shen Yuanning's heart, and since the death of the county lord of Jinyu, he never seemed to have opened his heart to anyone.

What he said was actually to say: If it weren't for her, it wouldn't matter who it was.

A year later, Xu gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, Shen Yuanning was in Jiangcheng at the time, and later hurried back at the full moon and named the child himself.

Girl's name: Huaiyu.

Boy's Name: Huai Jin.

Xu remembered that at that time, after hearing these two names, he was stunned with his mother-in-law Lu.

At that time, Xu Shi knew that even if he really raised his eyebrows with Shen Yuanning and held his head together, after all, this life had nothing to do with Fengyue.

His heart has long been filled with a person, and it has not faded because that person is gone.

After putting the child to sleep at night, Xu saw Shen Yuanning's tired face, so he served him to take off his coat, adjusted the water temperature in the clean room, and waited for him to wash away his fatigue.

These things were originally done by the maids, but at the beginning, a maid beside the Xu family was restless, bullied the Xu family, and took advantage of the time to serve Shen Yuanning with the intention of seducing him.

was disposed of on the spot by Shen Yuanning, and after that, the Xu family served Shen Yuanning closely.

When lying in bed at night, Xu Shi looked at Shen Yuanning with his eyes closed, thought of something, and shouted carefully:

"Master Hou?"

"Hmm."

Seeing that Shen Yuanning didn't sleep, Xu said:

"Some time ago, Shu'er told me that she wanted to learn some martial arts, and the concubine was in a woman's family, and she didn't know where there was a good teacher, so she waited for Master Hou to come back and make a decision."

Shen Yuanning opened his eyes and thought of the scene when he saw Shen Shu during the day.

His silhouette was born like the Shen family, only those eyes were very similar to his mother.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuanning's heart darkened, and he instructed Xu's words:

"I know, I'll arrange it later, Huai Xin is not small, let him practice with Shu'er when the time comes."

Seeing that Shen Yuanning closed his eyes, Xu blew out the candle, put down the curtain, lay on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.

Listening to the sound of even breathing around him, Shen Yuanning opened his eyes from the darkness.

Some things are old from many years ago, but when you think about it, you can't help but feel downset.

After that palace change, after Shen Changning died, Shen Yuanning knew that Shen Changning was hiding Chen Yueqiao. Chen Yueqiao is hateful, but she can hand out the news to herself under such circumstances, and such a thing makes Shen Yuanning feel guilty all the time.

After that, she has been inquiring about Chen Yueqiao's whereabouts, Shen Yuanning did not plan to have anything to do with Chen Yueqiao again, but just wanted to help her arrange a safe place, Shen Changning is dead, who can she rely on.

It's just that Shen Yuanning is looking for it, and Chen Yueqiao seems to have disappeared out of thin air.

Shen Yuanning searched for two months, and then he lost his mind, thinking that it was probably the Chen family who took her back to his hometown together, or married her far away.

It's just that I didn't expect that half a year later, a nunnery on the outskirts of the city sent a two-day-old baby to Shen Mansion.

The teacher only said:

"The child's surname is Shen, her mother named him Shen Shu, and his mother's surname is Chen."

Shen Yuanning remembered that he asked the teacher at that time:

"What about her mother?"

The teacher recited the Buddha's words:

"Chen Shizhu originally wanted to take refuge in my Buddha, but later found out that he was pregnant, and the poor nun knew some Qihuang techniques, Chen Shizhu's child was not easy to come by, and her body was not easy to get pregnant again, but Chen Shizhu insisted on keeping the child, and the poor nun had to find a way to keep the child, but he didn't expect that when he gave birth, he still couldn't escape this catastrophe. Chen Shizhu gave up himself and fulfilled the child's life, and entrusted the child to the Shen family before leaving. ”

Shen Yuanning took the child, and when he thought that Chen Yueqiao named the child Shen Shu on his deathbed, he felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

Forgive, forgive whom?

Shen Yuanning felt at that time that the person who should ask for forgiveness the most was himself.

Shen Yuanning ended.

I stopped for the time being, I was going to write about Lin Jing and Zhou Chengan's raw buns, but I had to concentrate on preparing a new book, October 10th, we will see you soon. (To be continued......)
