"I just wanted to meet her and pick her up by the way." Shen Xi asked, "Yu Niang shouldn't object, right?" ”

Yu Niang smiled and shook her head: "The slave family does not disgrace its mission and sends people to the capital safely, as for how Lord Shen is going to settle it, the slave family does not ask." ”

Shen Xi nodded, and was about to enter the room, but heard Yu Niang's voice coming from behind, "The slave family has sent someone to Lord Shen's mansion to inform you, Lord Shen, don't delay too long, so as not to worry your family." ”

Shen Xi unceremoniously closed the door after entering, he wanted a space to be alone with Yin Wen. The courtyard was empty, there was no one, and Yu Niang arranged for the maid who took care of Yin Wen, and she was also informed in advance to avoid it.

Shen Xi walked into the room, and saw a thin figure hugging the quilt and shrinking in the corner, Xiao Nizi was very sensitive to the sound of opening and closing the door outside, and her eyes widened, and when she saw Shen Xi's figure, Xiao Nizi dropped the quilt and got out of bed, not even wearing shoes and socks, and ran directly into Shen Xi's arms, and then whimpered and cried.

I haven't seen her for more than half a year, Xiao Nizi has lost a lot of weight, Shen Xi was distressed when she saw it, and hurriedly hugged her to sit on the edge of the bed, and let her lean on her arms and cry happily.

When Xiao Nizi was tired of crying, she blinked her big red eyes and looked at Shen Xi without saying a word.

"Did anyone bully you?" Shen Xi asked.

"Hmm." Yin Wen nodded slightly.

Shen Xi straightened his face and said: "Whoever bullies my Xiaowen, I'll fight with them!" ”

Shen Xi stood up, and Yin Wen hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull Shen Xi's arm, with a nervous expression. With her age, she is more sensible and knows the horror of the government, and she cares more about Shen Xi protecting her than letting Shen Xi "avenge" her, but it puts him in danger.

Shen Xi sat down again, leaned his head over, and looked at her eyes like he could speak, so that the breathing of the two could be felt by each other, Yin Wen stared at Shen Xi bravely, and did not flinch at all.

Shen Xi sat up straight and asked Yin Wen what had happened. Yin Wen didn't say anything at first, but under Shen Xi's questioning, he still said the matter in a soft voice.

The bullying that Yin Wen said is that someone bullied the Yin family.

After the incident, the factory guards in Fuzhou City took Yin Wen out of Yin's house for the first time, but still let Yin Wen see the terrible scene of the government rushing into Yin's house to take people, which almost became Xiao Nizi's nightmare, without the care of her parents and grandparents, all the strangers who took care of her along the way, she was so scared that she didn't dare to sleep, she didn't eat well, she was worried all day long, and she was emaciated and haggard.

"It's okay, I'm here, if you're sleepy, sleep a little longer." Shen Xi stroked her shoulder and comforted.

"Hmm."

Yin Wen leaned on Shen Xi's arms dependently, and soon fell asleep sweetly, with a faint smile on his elegant and beautiful little face.

This scene was very warm, Shen Xi couldn't bear to disturb Xiao Nizi's dream, and waited until it was completely dark, and the sound of the courtyard door opening sounded outside.

"Lord Shen, it's time to leave."

Yu Niang reminded in the courtyard, and when she found that the door of the house was empty, she couldn't help but come to the door in surprise, and saw clearly through the crack in the door that Shen Xi was simply holding Yin Wen, and when the two of them were all in good clothes, she couldn't help but smile and pushed open the door and walked in.

Shen Xi said: "I'm tired of Yu Niang to help clean up, I want to take Xiaowen home." ”

"Lord Shen is not afraid of ......"

She stopped in the middle of her words, but Shen Xi knew that she wanted to ask, "Aren't you afraid of the restlessness of the house"?

In any case, Shen Xi is a family person, and suddenly brought a little girl home, this little girl did not enter the Shen family as a sister but as a little lover, needless to say that she would marry in the future, which would inevitably attract the dissatisfaction of the wives and concubines in the family.

Shen Xi said: "I won't let Xiaowen suffer outside anymore, even if I don't marry her now, I will give her the warmth of home." ”

These words were extremely harsh in Yu Niang's ears, because she was the kind of "homeless" woman, and she even began to envy Yin Wenlai, even if the family suffered an accident, there was still such a man who cared about her and considered Zhou Xiang for her.

Shen Xi continued to hug Yin Wen to keep her warm, and at the same time asked Yu Niang to help pack up the little baggage that Yin Wen was carrying, which was specially prepared for Yin Wen by Mrs. Yin before she sent Yin Wen away, and there was even a large wedding dress in it, which was obviously prepared by Mrs. Yin for Xiao Nizi's future marriage.

The grandmother sent her beloved little granddaughter away, and that farewell was almost a farewell.

"My lord, it's all packed."

Someone outside came in to report it, and when Shen Xi heard it, he stopped and walked out of the house with Yin Wen in his arms.

Even if she was hugged by Shen Xi, Xiao Nizi didn't wake up, but she felt a little cold, and unconsciously drilled her body into Shen Xi's arms, and even buried her head in Shen Xi's arms, and her little hands dragged Shen Xi's clothes tightly.

When she got to the carriage, as the car jolted, Xiao Nizi finally opened her sleepy eyes, her eyes first showed fear, and she saw clearly that the person in front of her was Shen Xi, so she was no longer afraid, and quickly leaned her head into Shen Xi's arms, and fell asleep again after a while.

In order to let Yin Wen have a good rest, Shen Xi specially instructed the carriage to go slower, and Shen Xi gently patted Yin Wen's back so that she could sleep more comfortably.

"Mother...... I want my mother's ......."

Xiao Nizi seemed to be having a nightmare, thinking of her mother, she actually sobbed in her sleep, Shen Xi gently patted her on the back and comforted her softly, "It's okay, your mother is fine, you can see her when you turn back." ”

Xiao Nizi woke up, looked at Shen Xi with wide eyes, slowly a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and nodded with a determined expression.

The carriage stopped in front of the Champion's Mansion.

Shen Mingjun and his wife stood in front with a pair of children, Shen Xi's wives and concubines Xie Yun'er and Lin Dai stood a little behind, and Xiu'er, Zhu Shan and other maids lined up in the back.

Shen Xi opened the curtain and took a look, Hui Niang didn't bring her daughter over to greet her, and Hui Niang chose to avoid it at a critical time.

Shen Xi helped Yin Wen get off the carriage, and Xiao Nizi suddenly saw so many strangers, and directly hid in Shen Xi's arms in fear.

"Hmph, I've only been out for a few days, and I've brought the woman back!" Lin Dai couldn't wait to step forward at this time to separate the pair of "dog men and women", turned her head indignantly, and turned her head back unwillingly.

The lantern at the entrance of the Shen Mansion is hung high.

Dozens of border officers and soldiers who escorted Shen Xi back to Beijing held torches, and the maids held lanterns for lighting, and Shen Xi helped Yin Wen to Shen Mingjun and his wife, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed.

Seeing this, Yin Wen looked at Shen Mingjun and his wife curiously, not knowing why Shen Xi did this.

"It's okay if you're okay, it's okay...... Hurry up! There are many neighbors around the neighborhood, and Zhou can speak better than Shen Mingjun in front of people, and she will speak on behalf of Zhuang Yuanlang's parents.

Shen Xi stood up, Xie Yun'er pulled Lin Dai over to greet Shen Xi, at this time Xie Yun'er didn't seem to notice that there was such a person as Yin Wen, as for those maids, they all greeted with a smile: "The master is back!" ”

Xie Yun'er originally let Shen Xi walk in the front and lead the family into the door, but Shen Xi did not go alone, but took Yin Wen's little hand and walked together.

Although Yin Wen was full of puzzlement, he obediently let Shen Xi lead her and walk into the house.

"Han Wa'er, who is this girl?" Zhou's question was an inopportune question.

Shen Xi turned around and said, "Let's go in and talk about it." ”

Xie Yun'er received the news that Shen Xi had returned safely, and immediately sent someone to invite Shen Mingjun and his wife over, and at the same time set up a banquet in the front yard to entertain the neighbors.

In Xie Yun'er's view, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, so they have to have a good relationship with the neighbors first, these neighbors are the old neighbors of the Xie family, they know each other, and they don't worry about their bad intentions.

It's just that Xie Yun'er didn't expect that Shen Xi would actually bring a girl back, so I am afraid that it will provoke unnecessary gossip.

When the Shen family entered the courtyard, a group of neighbors came in one after another, and the cooks invited from the nearby wine store began to get busy, and the front yard had a lively feast.

At the end of the year, every household was preparing for the New Year, and after the lifting of martial law in the capital, prices fell accordingly, and Xie Yuner was willing to spend money to catch the wind for Shenxi.

When he arrived at the main hall of the backyard, Shen Xi explained Yin Wen's situation, including the fact that he met Yin Wen when he was taking the test in Fujian Township, and then talked about the engagement with Yin and his wife when he went to Quanzhou on a business trip at the beginning of the year.

This affirms Yin Wen's identity, she is one of the future hostesses of the Shen Mansion, but she is still young and will not rush into the door.

"Oh, Han Wa'er is really capable, and she can get a little daughter-in-law when she goes to the exam, but look carefully...... This girl is quite handsome, the boy is his father, what do you think? ”

The son likes the girl, and the mother is naturally happy, the Zhou family doesn't care if Yin Wen will destroy the relationship between Shen Xi and Xie Yuner and Lin Dai after entering the door, one more daughter-in-law is equivalent to one more candidate for a grandson in the future.

Shen Mingjun nodded sneeringly, he seemed a little redundant in this family.

Shen Xi glanced at Xie Yun'er apologetically, but Xie Yun'er was full of smiles and couldn't see that she was dissatisfied.

"Xiaowen has worked hard all the way, the concubine will take good care of her, go, my sister will help you arrange accommodation." Xie Yun'er smiled and wanted to pull Yin Wen's hand, but Yin Wen only relied on Shen Xi and dragged the corner of Shen Xi's clothes to the death...... Even if the little girl doesn't understand anything, she will instinctively realize who is the rival in love.

After Shen Xi nodded encouragingly, Yin Wencai mustered up the courage to take Xie Yun'er's hand, and when he found that the hands were very warm, his heart relaxed, and he couldn't help but look back at Shen Xi, with a smile on his face.

"A little mute?" Zhou was a little worried.

Shen Xi made a look: "Xiaowen has suffered too much along the way, and she is a little unaccustomed to seeing the living, plus she rarely speaks on weekdays, so this is why she is like this." ”

Shen Xi is right, Yin Wen is indeed silent, this is a lonely and pure little girl at heart, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as spotless. The Yin family left Shen Xi an absolutely clean piece of jade, allowing Shen Xi to carve Yin Wen's life arbitrarily.

Xie Yun'er took Yin Wen's hand and went inside to arrange the house, while Shen Xi stayed and explained to Shen Mingjun and his wife perfunctorily what was going on at the border, omitting the details of his meritorious service in danger, and only said that he would come back after finishing the errand.

In the evening, the banquet in the front yard was organized by Yun Bo, Shen Xi was tired and wanted to rest early, but before going to bed, he still beat his spirits and sent his parents and younger siblings to the rented yard next to Jishuitan.

Shen Xi wanted to meet Hui Niang.

But when I arrived at the place, it was almost the second watch, and only the barking of dogs was heard on the street, and it was very quiet.

"Mother, Aunt Sun has come to the capital, right?"

Standing in front of the courtyard gate, Shen Xi looked around and asked.

"Yes, I asked her to go with me to see you, but she didn't go, saying that she wanted to take care of the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, and she couldn't get out. You said that this chamber of commerce has already dispersed, can't you just leave this little business in the capital to Liuzi to do, why do you have to take care of it yourself? ”

When Zhou said this, he suddenly remembered something and reminded, "But don't disturb your aunt's peace like when you were a child, you have already started a family at this time, and she is a widow...... We have to wait until dawn to see each other. ”

Shen Xi nodded: "Got it, mother." ”

Shen Xi listened to Xie Yun'er's introduction to the situation of the rented house, and couldn't help but glance at the courtyard where Hui Niang's mother and daughter lived, sighed lightly, and did not step forward to knock on the door, because he knew that he and Hui Niang would never be able to walk together.

Instead of thinking about it, it is better to put it down earlier, which is also responsible for the people around you. (To be continued.) )
