The day of dispatch was set for October 29, and the return date was set for the 15th day of the lunar month, which was a month and a half on the way, and it was convenient for the officers and men of the guards to go home for the New Year after returning.

As the governor of the three provinces, Shen Xi does not need to go to the front line in person, but he needs to sit in the Chinese army and make timely arrangements for the front-line war.

The main reason is that Shen Xi is worried that his officers and soldiers have no intention of suppressing bandits, and they will do things perfunctorily, or because of improper command, they will lose their troops and generals, and this time the battle against bandits is huge, and there is no room for mistakes, and once there is a rout or serious losses, he will be unable to escape the responsibility as the governor of the three provinces responsible for suppressing bandits.

Shen Xi didn't want to take risks, so he could only go into battle in person.

A man with a family is the most troublesome before going to the battlefield, unlike the previous two battlefields, before he went to Quanzhou and Yansui, he couldn't predict the war in advance, even if the bandits he swept away were not as tricky as the Francophiles and Tatars, Xie Yun'er and other daughters still couldn't rest assured.

Knowing that Shen Xi was leaving, not only did the women in the family become a little more obsessed with him, but even Hui Niang and Li Jin, who were raised as outer rooms, were also reluctant.

Even Xie Yun'er proposed that Shen Xi had accepted Yin Wen and Lu Xi'er to pass through earlier.

Shen Xi did not agree.

"Since it is to prevent any three long and two short, why bother to let Xiaowen and Xi'er pass through the door at this juncture? If they become widows as soon as they enter the door, I'm sorry for them, if I really go and don't come back, you marry Xiaowen and Xi'er to a good family, you ...... yourself"

Before Shen Xi finished speaking, Xie Yun'er covered her mouth with her hand, Xie Yun'er was ashamed and anxious: "Why does Xianggong keep saying these unpleasant words?" ”

Shen Xi picked up Xie Yun'er with a smile, let her sit on his lap, and said, "Then say something about it, Yun'er, when will you spread the branches for me?" ”

"Xianggong is becoming more and more unserious, and I don't see Xianggong cherishing Dai'er and Jun'er's two sisters, but he came to embarrass the concubine. The concubine has Ping'er alone, and she is already content. Xie Yun'er complained a little.

Shen Xi shook his head: "Isn't it the same who gave birth to children for me?" On weekdays, the husband tries to level a bowl of water as much as possible, and does not favor one over the other. ”

When the two of them were warm, there was a figure shaking at the door, Shen Xi knew that it was Lin Dai, every time he was in the study, Lin Dai would always come over intentionally or unintentionally, especially on the day when it was her turn to share a room with Shen Xi, for fear that Shen Xi would have a good time with Xie Yun'er or Xie Hengnu during the day, and she would not be energetic in her room at night.

"Dai'er, the master is going to lead the troops to the battle, you have to accompany the master at home more these days, don't mess around, you know?" Xie Yun'er was bumped into by Lin Dai and hugged Shen Xi intimately, quickly put away her smile, and said with the majesty of a woman.

When Xie Yun'er left, she found that her legs and feet were a little weak because of nervousness and guilt.

Lin Dai came in the door, put down a cup of fragrant teacup, didn't even say a word, turned around and left sullenly, Shen Xi pulled her, but she was angry and threw her away, and then didn't even look back and went out.

Shen Xi couldn't help crying and laughing!

Since you're deliberately angry with me, why don't you wait until you get back to your room and get angry with yourself? It's a good thing, my good interest was ruined by you!

Xie Yun'er is gone, you are also leaving, then I have to go to Jun'er to warm up!

Shen Xi came out of the study and looked up, the sun was shining, and it was another sunny day. Shen Xi came directly to the door of Xie Hengnu's room in the side courtyard, and before he entered, he heard the sound of "giggles" coming from inside, and he didn't need to think much to know that it was Lu Xi'er.

After losing her mother, Lu Xi'er has grown up a lot, but the little girl is not yet in time, and it is easy to forget the painful past, especially after getting along with the two little sisters Yin Wen and Xie Hengnu day and night, let her regain the joy of her childhood when Shen Xi and Lin Dai played with her.

Shen Xi pushed open the door and went in, only to see three girls of the same age sitting around the table playing cards, and there were a few bamboo sticks in front of them, which they used to calculate wins and losses.

"Seventh brother!" Xie Hengnu happened to be facing the door, and when he saw Shen Xi coming in, he got up happily and ran in front of Shen Xi, with charming eyes and a clever smile.

Shen Xi was most afraid that Xie Hengnu would suffer after entering the door, and he couldn't accept sharing his husband with others, but Xie Hengnu entered the door at the age of fifteen, and his childlike heart was still intact, and his feelings for Shen Xi were more similar to those of a lover, and admiration and attachment existed at the same time.

Now she has two little sisters who are in love with each other, even if she comes to Lingnan immediately after getting married, she is very strong.

"Playing cards? Why don't you ask Sister Dale to come along? Shen Xi asked with a smile.

Lu Xi'er pursed her lips: "If four people play, how many cards does one person have in his hand?" It's not fun, it's better to fight the landlord with three people! To put it bluntly, Lin Dai's lonely self-appreciation made her invisibly estranged from the three golden flowers.

"Then stop playing cards and play horse hanging."

Shen Xi remembered the treasured bamboo carved horse tag in his hand, and when he passed by Nanjing in the south, he found that there were already prototype horse hangers of mahjong tiles on the market, so he bought two pairs, one of which was sent to the Beijing master to the prince Zhu Houzhao, and there was still a pair left in his hand.

Xie Hengnu blinked and asked, "Seventh brother, what is a horse hanging?" ”

"I'll teach you how to play now...... Xi'er, go and call your sister Dai'er. Shen Xi said.

"Oh."

Lu Xi'er called Lin Dai in the past, but in the end, she came back alone, Lu Xi'er said aggrievedly, "Sister Dai'er said that she was not feeling well, so she couldn't come, let us play by ourselves." ”

Shen Xi sighed secretly, Lin Dai's temperament became more and more withdrawn, and he didn't know how to solve it.

Shen Xi originally wanted to save himself with the well-behaved and lovely Xie Hengnu, but the three little sisters were playing cards happily, he didn't want to be a light bulb, so he left the room with the sentence "You play by yourself".

Originally, Shen Xi could go back to find Xie Yun'er, or go into the room to coax Lin Dai, but at this time, Xie Yun'er was busy preparing her luggage for Shen Xi, and Lin Dai was losing her temper again, so she decided to go out.

There are beautiful wives and concubines in the family, but there are too many rules, and he has to take care of the dignity of the head of the family, and many things can't be messed up, but the outer house raised outside doesn't have to worry so much.

Shen Xi went out in civilian clothes, walked through the streets and alleys, carefully guarding against being followed, so it took half an hour to come to the destination, and as soon as the door opened, he saw Hui Niang's delicate and lovely face.

Shen Xi's heart fluttered, and he couldn't help Hui Niang's objection, so he directly hugged her horizontally.

"Master, the door hasn't been closed yet......"

Hui Niang pinched a handkerchief in her hand and reminded in a low voice. Now she already knows that since Shen Xi has picked her up, with Shen Xi's temperament, she will never let her down, and she is not qualified to protest against Shen Xi.

"Isn't there a girl?" Every time Hui Niang heard a special knock code, she didn't dare to slack off Shen Xi, who came alone, and usually came out to open the door in person.

The men's maid went to close the door, while Shen Xi carried Hui Niang into the room, and met Li Jin on the way to salute, Shen Xi just waved her hand to let her retreat.

After entering the room, it was another time for Shen Xi to feel so happy that he conquered and owned, and when everything was over, even if Hui Niang was tired, she could still get up, roughly tidy up her clothes, and prepare to stay and freshen up.

"Hui'er, let me hold you for a while."

Shen Xi took Hui Niang in his arms and sighed lightly, "In the near future, I will lead the troops south to level the bandits, there may be danger along the way, if I can't return safely, you will take the silver, take Jin'er to Huguang or Guanzhong where no one knows, do some small business, if there is a suitable choice, then get married!" ”

Hui Niang couldn't help crying: "Master, is this preparing to drive the concubine and sister away?" ”

Shen Xi sighed: "I want to be a long-term husband and wife with you, and it is best to continue to live together in Huangquan in the future." But I always have to think about your happiness, your temperament is too narrow, and you must have someone to rely on for you to make your state of mind peaceful, as for Jin'er...... She always had a mind for me. Don't think about anything else, if there is such a day, do what I say, I won't blame you. ”

Hui Niang didn't say anything, just leaned her head on Shen Xi's arms, as if she wanted to feel Shen Xi's strong heartbeat before parting.

"Master, the concubine is happy," Hui Niang said suddenly, .......

Shen Xi was taken aback: "What? ”

Hui Niang's expression was complicated, but she didn't raise her head, and her voice was soft: "The concubine has been diagnosed by herself, and she has been a little happy recently, and it has been estimated that she has been touching it ......for two months."

Shen Xi didn't say much, he directly took Hui Niang's wrist, he himself knew medical skills, after taking the pulse, as Hui Niang said, it was indeed a sign of pregnancy, Shen Xi pressed his hand on Hui Niang's lower abdomen, and he couldn't feel the obvious bulge.

This means that he can be a father for the second time, but this time it is not the wife and concubine in the family who are pregnant, but Hui Niang, who has only been with him for a year.

Shen Xi did want Hui Niang to give birth to children for him, but he also knew that Hui Niang had a bad heart, and he didn't want to go against Hui Niang's wishes, so before that, Shen Xi tried not to let her get pregnant. In the absence of effective contraception, Shen Xi is very considerate of Hui Niang by doing this.

Lin Dai tried every possible way to get pregnant, but she never took, but Hui Niang was unintentionally inserted into the willows, which made Shen Xi feel a little helpless.

Shen Xi asked, "Then what do you think?" ”

Hui Niang's voice trembled a little: "The concubine is the master's outer house, and everything is subject to the master's arrangement." ”

Shen Xi's voice turned cold: "I'm asking what you think, you don't care what I think." ”

Hui Niang was silent for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "Master, the concubine hopes to leave a ...... for the Shen family."

Shen Xi knew that Hui Niang had too many grievances in this matter, but Hui Niang still liked to torture herself to fulfill others as always, even if she was extremely painful in her heart, she still said that she would stay behind for the Shen family.

But there are some things she has to face, is it already together, and she has to guard against having children for the rest of her life?

"It's good to be born, I'll find someone to take care of you when I go back, don't be so tired in the future, let Jin'er take care of you more." Shen Xi said. (To be continued.) )
