Lu Xiu didn't know what to write to Zhou Jue, she hadn't seen him for a long time, and the warmth she could feel from just a few words in the letter was really rare.

He was very busy in the camp, busy with drills every day, the newly recruited soldiers in the camp were homesick and couldn't sleep, he could accompany the soldier to chat and comfort all night, and when she was pregnant and lying on the bed tossing and turning, there was no one around.

Before becoming Mrs. Zhou, Lu Xiu had thought about this, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult to bear.

People are selfish, not to mention that liking is not a one-sided effort, always hoping to get a response, but that person is far away, and the biggest response is just a letter, does she want to rely on those letters for a lifetime?

With a mess of thoughts, Lu Xiu put away the pen and ink, shook his head and said, "I haven't figured out what to write yet, let's wait a few days." ”

This time it was half a month, and Zhou Jue sent another letter, in which he asked her how she and her daughter were doing, whether they had a name, and he thought of a few names, but in the end it still depends on what his father meant.

Lu Xiu took Zhou Jue's letter to find Zhou Deshan, Zhou Deshan chose one of them, and finally named the child Zhou Xia, Zhou Jue felt that the weather was hot, so he had to fan his daughter often, and gave Zhou Xia a nickname Huhu.

Lu Xiu was amused by this name, and finally wrote back to Zhou Jue.

still wrote a few large pages, but they were all objective descriptions of the various situations in the house, without complaints, but also without too many personal emotions.

Although he had the experience of Sun and Shen Bai in the past, it was not easy for Lu Xiu to take the child.

The child is too young, the situation is full of problems, how can she not do without people, and she is not at ease when she hands over the child to others to take care of Lu Xiu, it is really hard to sit in confinement, and she is used to keeping things in her heart, and the people around her don't know how to relieve her, so her mood becomes more and more depressed.

In a blink of an eye, when the child was full moon, Lu Xiu didn't want to celebrate, the weather was hot, and Zhou Deshan didn't want to toss her, so he only invited Gu Tingge, Shen Ruxiu and a few colleagues before to the banquet, a total of two tables.

The banquet was set at noon, and Lu Xiu explained the matter, so he let his subordinates go to work, and sat in the banquet with Zhou Xia in his arms and listened to the others quietly.

Halfway through the feast, the servants hurriedly came to say that a guest had come to visit.

While everyone was wondering who would come at this time, a petite figure in a coarse cloth short shirt and a small felt hat strode in from outside.

Everyone stopped the wine glasses in their hands, and they were speechless in surprise, and Lu Xiu was even more shocked to stand up suddenly.

Shen Bai touched the brim of his hat, hooked the corners of his lips and raised his eyebrows to look at everyone, seeing that they had not spoken, he deliberately said: "I came all the way from Yuanfeng County to eat the full moon banquet, why do you have this expression, I am not welcome?" ”

"No, no, no." Lu Xiu hurriedly handed over Zhou Xia to Chunling, strode over and grabbed Shen Bai's hand, and asked, "Why did you come back suddenly, and you didn't send a letter in advance, so that someone could pick you up." ”

Shen Ruxiu was also very excited, but he pressed it strongly, and said in a deep voice: "You are all married, you should be calm in your work, do you know about coming back?" ”

"I know." Shen Bai said with a smile, Gu San and Gu Si came in immediately, and each of them held a little doll carved in pink and jade in their arms, not to mention Shen Ruxiu, even Gu Tingge couldn't calm down.

The two couldn't help but want to laugh, Shen Bai gave them a look, Gu Sangu Si gave them the children to hold respectively, Lu Xiu arranged for Gu Sangu Si to sit down, and pulled Shen Bai to the position in front of him and sat down.

These two children are almost a year old, weaned, they like to laugh very much on weekdays, and they don't recognize life, and when they arrived in Gu Tingge and Shen Ruxiu's arms, they only stared at them curiously.

Shen Ruxiu couldn't keep his mouth shut, but turned his head and taught Shen Bai again: "The children are still so young, how dare you take them so far?" What if I accidentally catch a cold on the road? ”

Shen Bai didn't care, and said, "I'm not alone, and I have Gu Sangu and Si together." ”

Shen Ruxiu wanted to say something, but Gu Tingge preemptively said: "The children of our Gu family are not so delicate, and the kite is not a reckless person, you can bring the child back whenever you want." ”

Although Gu Tingge was choking Shen Ruxiu, he was really defending Shen Bai, Shen Ruxiu was happy in his heart, but he said: "The prince of the country is generous so that he doesn't care about you, don't kick your nose in the face, remember to be more restrained in the future." ”

Shen Bai was most afraid that Shen Ruxiu would talk about it like this, so he hurriedly poured himself a glass of wine, and raised it to signal: "Two fathers, I was wrong, I won't do this again in the future, I'll punish myself with a glass." ”

After speaking, he raised his head and drank it all to satisfy his alcohol addiction.

With children here, this meal was very enjoyable, Shen Bai was very good at mobilizing the atmosphere, and even Lu Xiu's mood was unconsciously relieved, and he ate two more bowls of rice.

After the banquet, Gu Tingge wanted to go home, Lu Xiu left Shen Bai for a while, and Shen Bai still took the child and went back with Gu Tingge.

Several people came back on horseback, which was also convenient.

Back at the Guogong Mansion, when the doorman saw them, he was stunned at first, then laughed, and shouted eagerly: "The young lady is going home with the little boy and the little lady!"

Everyone in the Guogong Mansion was excited, Gu Tingge kept holding Gu Ji and didn't let go, the corners of his lips were hooked, and he was full of spirit.

Entering the hall, Gu Tingge waved everyone away, hugged Gu Halberd and asked Shen Bai: "Come back this time, but do you need help with anything?" ”

"It's not a big deal, the main thing is to come back to see my father, and let my father see these two children, my husband is busy in the camp all day, and it will take a long time to return to Beijing once, and the child will soon be one year old, so let them recognize the door first and learn some rules."

Shen Bai said lightly, Gu Tingge nodded, and asked again, "How long do you plan to stay in the capital?" ”

Shen Bai said: "Wait for the child to pass the first year before leaving." ”

That's just over three months away.

Gu Tingge's heart was slightly relieved, his expression became more and more relaxed, and he said: "There will be someone to take care of the child's house, you can rest assured that you have something to do." ”

After galloping on the battlefield for so many years, Gu Tingge knew that Shen Bai would not come back to visit relatives this time, but he would not ask Shen Bai what he was going to do, the children were so old and had their own opinions, so it would be good for him to be responsible for the bottom.

Shen Bai also talked about a lot of changes in the Zhenbei Army, Gu Tingge was very pleased to hear it, and after Gu Hengzhou took over, he managed the Zhenbei Army very well.

After talking about business, the next person came in to report, saying that Gu Shaoyin had locked himself in the house and hadn't gone out for a day.

Today is Miss Zhou's full moon banquet, this child has a special identity, and it is inevitable that he will be embarrassed to go, and it is normal for Gu Tingge not to take him.

Hearing Gu Shaoyin's name, Gu Tingge's eyes darkened, and Shen Bai asked in a natural tone: "Shaoyin is almost four years old, and now he has such a big temper, he dares to make such a fuss with his father?" ”

Gu Tingge sighed and said, "This kid is too sensitive, always unhappy, he is too young, and I can't do anything to him." ”

Shen Bai smiled and said: "If Dad doesn't mind, I'll help you take a look these days, if you can't break his temper, you can also take him to the border and let your husband help train for a few days. ”

Zhang Jun also lived in the Guogong Mansion for a while, Gu Tingge admired this child very much, and sighed when he heard this: "That child can endure hardships and persevere, and he is a good seedling to adjust the church well." ”

Shen Bai nodded and said, "The husband is more strict with him than with others, I think it seems that he wants to train him as a successor, and I can take a look at this child's creation in the future." ”

Gu Tingge nodded, Gu Ji was bored when he listened, and yawned in his arms, Gu Tingge hurriedly returned it to Shen Bai and asked Shen Bai to go down to rest first.

Gu Hengzhou's yard is empty, and someone has been cleaning and ventilating it, Shen Bai directly lives here with his children, and Gu San and Gu Si are also in the hospital as before.

Early the next morning, Shen Bai took the two children back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Shen Ruxiu went to the court, and there was only Sun in the mansion.

Since Shen Yingchun was born, Shen Bai has sent a lot of good things back, and the Sun family has no hostility towards her now, and ordered his subordinates to prepare food to entertain Shen Bai.

Shen Bai still didn't have anything to say to her, only exchanged a few words, and then took the child to the ancestral hall to offer incense.

Her mother's tablet was clean and clean, and it was still in the previous position, Shen Bai put on incense and spoke to the tablet for a while. happy

When it was almost time to eat, Shen Ruxiu rushed back from the next court and went straight to the ancestral hall, he was in a hurry, but he didn't know what to say after stepping into the ancestral hall, so he just stood silently on the side.

Shen Bai is now a mother, and his thoughts are much more cheerful than before, and he said to Shen Ruxiu: "My sister is very good-looking, her eyebrows and eyes are more like her father, I see that there are a lot of fine lines on Sun's face, and there are a lot more gray hairs on his father's head, you still pay more attention to health, my sister will grow up for more than ten years." ”

is a mother, Shen Bai still speaks in this tone.

Shen Ruxiu was angry and funny, said a few words to her, picked up Gu Ruansoft and walked out.

The family ate together, one person held a child in his arms, the meal was a bit chaotic, fortunately, after eating, the three children were sleepy and had to take a lunch break, Shen Bai took the opportunity to go to the study to talk to Shen Ruxiu.

Shen Bai said: "Your Majesty is ready to promote the women's school, and my father can take this opportunity to resign, so that younger people can move up, and he can also find time to achieve his ambition of teaching and educating people." ”

Shen Ruxiu glanced at Shen Bai and asked, "You have been running a school in Yuanfeng County for a year, do you not know how effective it is?" Your Majesty wants to promote the girls' school, and I have been against this from the beginning. ”

Shen Bai's contact with Jingzhong has never been broken, so he naturally knows Shen Ruxiu's attitude, and said calmly: "The school in Yuanfeng County has been running for a year, although it has not immediately formed an atmosphere of learning in the city, but it has also played a role in enlightenment and enlightenment. ”

Shen Ruxiu sighed and said to Shen Bai: "Bai'er, you went to Yuanfeng County, and you are already far away from the wind and waves of Hanjing, why do you still meddle in these things?" ”

Since having Shen Yingchun, Shen Ruxiu's mentality has also changed a lot, he can dedicate his life to the court society, but he doesn't want his daughter to be implicated in any way.

Shen Bai now has similar thoughts as when he was young, and always wants to do something for the society.

But this kind of thing is easier said than done?

Shen Bai understood Shen Ruxiu's concerns, and said: "Yingchun and Soft are still young, Dad always doesn't want them to grow up in the future, so they can only be trapped in the boudoir, learn to be a female red, carry a female ring, and abide by the rules of not going out of the door, and in the end, I don't even know what the outside world is like, right?" ”

This is the era of respect for men, Shen Bai married Gu Hengzhou, there are no regrets in this life, but the children are still young, if they don't do something for them, they will always be at ease and let them go alone in this world.

Shen Ruxiu was speechless, and Shen Bai said: "Dad, don't worry, Your Majesty just wants to try to implement it, and will not take too drastic ways to carry out reforms and attract public anger, as long as this matter is slowly advanced, it will be realized one day." ”

Shen Bai's tone was gentle, his eyes were bright and firm, and Shen Ruxiu didn't persuade him anymore.

It was not until evening that Shen Ruxiu sent a carriage to send Shen Bai back.

The news of Shen Bai's return quickly spread in Hanjing, she had no public office, and there was nothing wrong with bringing her children back to see, but her wedding with Gu Hengzhou was too grand before, and when she came back suddenly, everyone couldn't help but wonder if she had broken up her relationship with Gu Hengzhou.

Rumors are the kind of thing that will get worse and worse once they start.

Shen Bai listened to it for a while, and didn't plan to pay attention to it, those people in Yuanfeng County still imagined that she was cuckolding Gu Hengzhou if she didn't abide by women's morals, if she had to explain everything, wouldn't she be exhausted.

However, Shen Bai came back, and these noble ladies in Beijing had an excuse to visit the Guogong Mansion.

Shen Bai didn't arrange any itinerary when he came back, as long as someone came to the door, she would patiently chat with them, introduce the specialties and customs of Yuanfeng County, and also inquire about the recent situation in Hanjing by the way.

Just a few days later, Chun Ling came to find Shen Bai, she came behind Lu Xiu's back, recently saw that Lu Xiu was in a bad state, and she was in a hurry to see it on the side, so she really had no choice but to ask Shen Bai for help.

Shen Bai probably knew what was going on after listening to it, and immediately posted a post and asked Lu Xiu to go to the garden to watch a play on the second day.

Watching a drama is generally something that only men can do, and Lu Xiu has never been there, but because the post was written by Shen Bai, Lu Xiu still responded.

Early in the morning, Shen Bai got into the carriage of the Guogong Mansion to find Lu Xiu, Lu Xiu packed up early, and came out with Zhou Xia in his arms, Zhou Xia was still young, Chun Ling followed behind her, carrying a big burden, and those who didn't know thought they were going to move.

Shen Bai smiled, propped his chin and said, "I asked my sister to go to the play, but I didn't ask my sister to go to the theater to take care of the children, what is my sister doing?" ”

Lu Xiu frowned and said, "The child is clingy and can't do without me." ”

Shen Bai retorted: "If my sister wants to be distracted, she has to let go, Chun Ling is loyal to you, presumably no one in the Zhou Mansion dares to have ill intentions towards this child, can it be that this child can't stand it for a long time?" ”

Lu Xiu couldn't find a reason to refuse, hesitated for a while, and could only hand over the child to Chun Ling to carry back, and got into the carriage by himself.

The carriage soon drove to the opera garden, the weather was hot, and there were many trees planted in the garden, and it was much cooler to walk inside than outside.

The opera garden is quite large, Lu Xiu was a little relieved at first, but after a while, he was attracted by the pattern in the garden, this garden is quite exquisitely designed, one door and one window, looking up like a good landscape painting.

Shen Bai was quite familiar with this place, and led Lu Xiu to the place where the big stage was set up behind the garden.

This stage is very large, and it can be used to sing a big opera in the palace, and there is no one else in the garden, Lu Xiu asked suspiciously: "Is there no one else here?" Will it cost a lot of money to charter the venue? ”

"No, I know the boss here."

Shen Bai said lightly, leading Lu Xiu to the viewing platform, and Lu Xiu saw Wei Mingchen sitting there quietly in a tooth-white embroidered brocade robe.

Wei Mingchen's style of dressing today is completely different from usual, and there was no surprise when he saw Shen Bai bringing Lu Xiu over, but he just pouted and said, "It's been so long, I still feel embarrassed when I see you wearing a skirt." ”

Shen Bai was very familiar with him, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said angrily: "What do you call a girl, the old lady is a woman." ”

After Shen Bai finished speaking, he sat down next to Wei Mingchen, there were already prepared melon and fruit snacks, Shen Bai beckoned Lu Xiu to eat, Wei Mingchen said a few words with them, got up and left, gongs and drums sounded, and the big show was about to start.

Shen Bai leaned into her ear and said: "I have written a lot of books for him before, all of which are very popular, to be honest, most of the principal of the Wei family's comeback was earned by me for them." ”

No wonder she came to see the play, Wei Ming would empty the play garden in the morning, and came to chat in person.

Lu Xiu nodded, he really felt that Shen Bai was very powerful, and he always had many skills on his body that others couldn't imagine.

Shen Bai knocked on the melon seeds and said: "This drama is their finale here, it is very good, I also brought Brother Gu to watch it." ”

Shen Bonunu's mouth, a Hua Dan walked on the stage.

Lu Xiu focused on watching the play, and soon understood that this is a story of a woman who is obsessed with a man, the woman is a noble girl in Beijing, and the man is also the son of a wang family, but the two can't be together because of a feud, and the woman can only bury her heart in the bottom of her heart.

Later, the man went to the barracks from Rong, and the woman didn't even have the opportunity to see him occasionally, in order to relieve the loneliness in her heart, the woman could only read all kinds of military books, and then the man was injured on the battlefield, and the woman was so anxious that she couldn't bear it, so she secretly ran to the barracks pretending to be a man.

However, before she could show her intentions, the enemy country launched a surprise attack, and the woman saw the man die on the battlefield with her own eyes.

The play finally stops at the end of the war, and the woman gouges out the man from the corpse, crying bloody tears.

The plot of the whole play is very tight, Lu Xiu watched and watched unconsciously clenching his fists, his eyes were red, and when he saw the last scene, tears rolled down uncontrollably.

This play was written by Shen Bai, although she is with Gu Hengzhou now, she will still be touched when she watches this play again, and her eyes are a little red.

Lu Xiu couldn't stop crying, and said intermittently: "For...... Why not let them talk? She obviously liked him for so many years. ”

Shen Bai said casually; "People live for a lifetime, and they feel that they are going to die all the time, so they will always be disturbed by some mundane things in front of them."

Lu Xiu paused, and looked at Shen Bai with teary eyes.
