When Chen Xu came out of Quyuan, it was already Shen Shi.

From noon to Shen, half a day is to accompany the two half-lazi old men to drink tea, listen to music, appreciate the dance and touch the woman, and then after eating the wine banquet, then drink tea, chat, listen to the music and touch the woman.

This kind of life is cool, but he is not used to it at all.

Chen Xu sat in the carriage and burped with wine, his face was slightly reddened from drinking, and he sighed as he walked.

Lao Tzu, a young man born under the red flag and growing up in New China, how could he make friends with such a rogue old man, and he is still corrupt and degenerate to this point, shouldn't it? Is my essence so corrupt and depraved?

"My husband came back earlier today than usual!"

Half an hour later, the carriage returned to Qinghe Courtyard unimpeded, and a group of women were still waiting at the gate of the Hou Mansion to greet them, watching Chen Xu get down from the car with a sense of wine, Shui Qingrou hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said with a smile.

"Well, Fang Cai and Wan'er's father still have a banquet to build a marquis, and the banquet is dispersed early, so I'll come back early!" Chen Xu explained with a smile.

"How can the Marquis of Jiancheng have a banquet with my father, and they don't seem to have any contact on weekdays?" Meng Wan, who had a big belly, opened her mouth suspiciously.

"Your father is too improper, in order to visit the garden, he actually partnered with Jiancheng Hou to open a quyuan in the south of the city, and today invited me to help think of a name, so I have to pull the banquet ......" Chen Xu began to tell his father-in-law about the black state, completely leaving behind the words that Meng Yi had just told him not to pass on.

"Daddy...... What's wrong with Daddy? It's too much, I'm going back to tell my mother! Meng Wanwan stomped his feet again and again.

"Oh, don't be angry, don't be angry, lest you get angry!" Chen Xu hurriedly comforted Meng Wan, and a group of people hugged him and went to the backyard.

"Master Hou, I heard that you made a bet with those Dawan merchants today, I don't know why you bet?" Fan Caiying hugged her daughter and asked.

"I don't know yet, they only said that they would bet with me on those ten horses, but tomorrow I will find out what the gambling problem is, and I think it must be related to horses, and I will tell the housekeeper to help me find some books on Soma later......"

"I'm afraid it's too late for my husband to make up for Soma's knowledge at this time!" Shui said softly worriedly.

"Temporary cramming, that's the only way!" Chen Xu smiled helplessly.

"Husband, are you saying that this Dawan Horse Club is related to Western Buddhism?" Shui asked softly in surprise.

"Well, no, it's just a common saying, which means that when you are in a moment, you can ask the Buddha for psychological comfort, because Western Buddhism likes to fool believers into giving money and offering incense with all kinds of fulfillments, but ...... Western...... The West, this Dawan is in the West, and tomorrow's bet may really have something to do with the West......"

Chen Xu entered the backyard while explaining, washed and changed his clothes, and then instructed the housekeeper to help find some books of horses, and at the same time called a few horsemen who were proficient in raising horses in the house to inquire carefully, after dark, accompanied by the gentle water, he turned out the books related to horses in the study and watched them carefully, whether it was legends, folk anecdotes, historical allusions, and even some messy myths, I always checked hundreds of bamboo and wood slips and paper books printed in recent years. It wasn't until Chen Xu was dizzy that he gently went to sleep in the bedroom with the water in his arms.

The night passed in a flash, and after dawn, Chen Xu yawned, washed, ate, and changed clothes, and then prepared to go to the court accompanied by the guards.

"Husband, do you want me to go with you?"

A group of women with their three daughters sent Chen Xu outside the gate of the courtyard, and Shui Shui, who was dressed in a black skirt, stood softly at the door of the car and asked with a little worry.

"It's okay for you to come with me, those Dawan horses are indeed abnormal, maybe you can still help me with some ideas today!" Chen Xu smiled and stretched out his hand to hold the water and gently got into the car.

"Brother Xiaoxu, I want to go too!" Yu Ji looked at Chen Xu with blank eyes.

"Well, let's go, come with me to open my eyes, and if I win the bet today, I'll give you the most beautiful horse!" Chen Xu smiled and nodded.

"Yay, Brother Xiaoxu is so good!" Yu Ji cheered, got into the carriage, and sat down with Chen Xu's arm around him.

"Daddy, I'm going too!"

Seeing that the close aunts and aunts who usually play with him got into the car, Chen Xi, who felt cold and lonely, was reluctant and shouted to get in the car.

"Xi'er must not be rude, Daddy is going to the court!" Ying Shiyan hurriedly took Chen Xi's little hand and scolded.

"Then why can aunts and aunties go?" Xiao Chen Xi is almost five years old, and he is very spiritual with careful eyes.

Chen Xu got out of the carriage and picked up his eldest daughter and said with a smile: "Xi'er is still young, Shi Yan don't want to scold her, today's court meeting should end soon, let her go play with me!" ”

"My husband just spoils her too much, what will I do if I become a wild girl in the future?" Although Ying Shiyan was complaining in her mouth, she smiled sweetly on her face.

"Hehe, what are you afraid of, no one dares to talk nonsense in the sky of my daughter Qinghe Hou, besides, Xi'er is the most obedient, and she will definitely not become a wild girl, right?" Chen Xu looked at his daughter and said with a smile.

"Naturally, Xi'er is very well-behaved and will never become a wild child!" Chen Xi nodded vigorously with a serious face.

"Haha, look, this is the eldest daughter of Ben Hou, and she will definitely be a first-class strange woman in the world in the future......"

Chen Xu laughed and hugged his daughter to the car, waved goodbye to a group of wives and concubines, and then walked along the road under the escort of a group of guards.

Looking at the carriage in the distance, the smiles on the faces of the group of women soon disappeared, and their emotions became dull and low.

Fan Caiying hugged her daughter Qiuyue, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Ying Shiyan looked at the second daughter in the arms of the nurse next to her, and her beautiful eyes were also filled with endless sadness.

Meng Wan, who has a big belly, looks as beautiful as a beautiful girl in the past, but at this time her face is still full of worry.

"My sister must give birth to a boy for her husband, otherwise we will become a joke in Xianyang and even the whole of Daqin!" Ying Shiyan's eyes fell on Meng Wan's high bulging lower abdomen and whispered.

"I want to too, but I'm afraid that the heavens will not fulfill people's wishes, and I am worried day and night now!" Meng Wan gently stroked the position of the fetus, feeling the movement inside from time to time, with joy, excitement and endless worry.

"Don't worry about the ladies, the Hou Ye is very fond of the little masters, not to mention that the ladies are still young, the Hou Ye is also very kind to the ladies, and the servants have taken turns to arrange without favoritism, and the ladies will have heirs in the future!" The nurse comforted.

"You gave birth to two boys in a row, what is the trick of having sex with your husband?" Ying Shiyan's cheeks were slightly blushing and asked the nurse.

"Madame forgives the sin, and there is nothing special about the slave and the husband's intercourse...... It's just that...... Just ......"

"Just what?" Seeing the nurse swallowing and spitting, even Meng Wan couldn't help but ask shyly.

"It's just that my man is very rough every time, and he presses the slave on the edge of the bed, tears off his skirt and starts to ......" The nurse was only twenty years old and had an ordinary background, but she was still very ashamed when she said this, and lowered her head and hummed softly.

Ying Shiyan: ......

Fan Caiying: ......

Meng Wan: ......

A group of maids also blushed cheeks.

"It's a little cold outside, go back to your room, don't let the third lady stand and suffer!" Fan Caiying opened her mouth and instructed a group of maids to help Meng Wan go back to the backyard to rest.

A group of women know that it is impossible to expect their own marquis to be rough to themselves, they are very pampered on weekdays, and they are also gentle on the bed, and there has never been a barbaric and rude press on the bed and tear off the skirt and start that, so this method of giving birth to a son is destined not to succeed, so I can only find another way.

……

"Daddy, is Dawan Ma eight-legged?"

"Nope!"

"Why not?"

"Because it's only four-legged."

"Then why do they say that Dawan horses run very fast?"

"It doesn't matter how many legs you run fast!"

"No, we all only have two legs, but we can't outrun a four-legged horse, so more legs must be faster!"

"Nonsense, that centipede still has dozens of legs!"

"But centipedes are insects, not horses, and horses must run fast because they have many legs!"

"Horses run fast because they are strong and tall, not because they have many legs, just like people, those who are tall run fast, and those who are short run slowly!"

"That Dawan horse must be very tall, Daddy, where is Dawan? Do Dawan people have horns on their heads? ”

"Dawan is thousands of miles away in the west, and Dawan people are almost the same as us Daqin people, and there are no horns on their heads?"

"Why don't they have horns?"

"For man does not have horns!"

"But some deer have horns and some don't have horns, why don't Dawan people grow horns?"

"Daddy......"

On the galloping carriage, Chen Xu had never felt such a failure in life.

Faced with the eldest daughter's constant bizarre questions one after another, he has an urge to die, his daughter is a group of wives and domestic servants on weekdays, although he cares, but in fact he rarely spends time with father and daughter close to each other, and rarely takes his daughter out like this, so Chen Xi is very excited and excited today, sitting in Chen Xu's arms all the way to ask all kinds of questions, and these questions answer a question that she will come up again many divergent questions.

It's too hard to be a dad, and it's even harder to be a good dad.

Chen Xu hugged his daughter with black lines, not daring to look at her big clear eyes, these eyes were as beautiful as her mother, and they were also full of desire for novel knowledge, so that Chen Xu recalled the first time he saw Ying Shiyan, and asked him what the toilet was.

Such a daughter who is too curious, well, it's better to raise it early and marry it early!

When the time comes, she will go and bring disaster to her husband!

"Hee-hee~" Looking at Chen Xu's loveless appearance, Shui gently covered his mouth and chuckled, then looked at Chen Xi and said: "Xi'er, I have taught you the principles of heaven and nature before, spring, summer, autumn and winter, the sun, moon and stars, mountains, rivers and mountains, all life and death are in the way of heaven, constant and long, short and sudden, although it can not be pursued but it is natural, this is the Tao of nature, there is no one in the world who can always know, even a saint can not transcend the way of heaven to understand all things, so don't ask Daddy so many strange questions, okay?" ”

"Okay, Xi'er doesn't ask!" Chen Xi nodded obediently, hugged Chen Xu's neck and whispered in his ear, "Daddy, why doesn't my aunt let me ask?" Do Dawan people really not grow horns? ”

Chen Xu: ......
