Shen Guang was stunned by Xu Xun's tone, but in the face of that kind of look, he understood that the other party was not lying, but really didn't take it to heart. While relieved, he felt a little bitter that he couldn't speak. And Shen Yue heard Xu Xun say that she was comfortable talking to herself, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously, and when she heard Xu Xun say that the past had been written off, she glanced back at him, revealing the two small dimples at the same time, her eyes were also relieved.

But Xu Xun didn't look at Shen Guang's expression, and when he saw Shen Ke standing there as if he was a little embarrassed, he smiled gently: "Big brother came to the capital, but he asked for leave in Nanjing?" ”

Hearing that Xu Xun was actually calling himself eldest brother, Shen Ke was stunned for a moment before shaking his head and said: "Zhang Dasi Cheng is rigorous in his studies, although I rushed to the capital for my sister, but after all, it takes a few months to go back and forth, and the leave is too long, which does not comply with the prison rules. ”

Glimpsing his father's lips squirming, as if he was going to intercede for him, he hurriedly rushed forward and said: "What's more, I was already out of the ordinary when I first entered the prison, and Zhang Dasi was also the Duke of Wei State, and the little sister was only accommodating. Now that Yue'er has a settlement, I can devote myself to my career, and I will study hard at home in the future. ”

"Good!" Although he initially felt that Shen Ke's resignation from the Southern Prison was a bit presumptuous, Xu Xun had always admired people who could think about others, and at this moment he couldn't help but nod again, because he said with a smile, "The eldest brother is only in his early twenties now, and there is still a chance for the township test, and no one in Jinling will dare to covet the Shen family in the future, you just have to rest assured and boldly go to the test, I am waiting for the day when you will be named on the gold list!" ”

Xu Xun put down such bold words, Shen Yue felt that it was taken for granted, but the Shen family's father and son had a very different perception. Shen Guang, who has experienced the world, knows that Xu Xun looks beautiful now, but he is on the cusp of the storm, and it is very likely that he will be crushed by a finger twisted by the big man in the DPRK and China without paying attention; But Shen Ke felt that his sister really didn't see the wrong person, married such a reliable and dedicated husband, and in the future, he, who was an elder brother, could study the article wholeheartedly without any worries.

So, after Ruyi also slipped out with Eunuch Qian and the others, there were only three people left in the room at this time. Xu Xun and Shen Yue looked at each other, but Shen Guang stared at Xu Xun's face worriedly, as if to find out where that confidence came from, while Shen Ke looked at his sister and then at his brother-in-law-to-be, with a happy and relaxed smile on his face.

It wasn't until Shen Yue was the first to notice this situation and coughed that the atmosphere in the room changed. This time, it was Xu Xun who asked Shen Yue about his grandmother Shen Fang's illness, and Shen Guang finally said helplessly after hesitating for a long time: "Yue'er's grandmother's illness is the root of the disease for many years, and since the attack in the middle of last year, it has been up and down and not good, but fortunately, when Da Lang and I left, her spirit improved a little." After all, he is in his early sixties, and even if there are good doctors and good medicinal herbs hanging all the time, he ......."

Shen Guang didn't continue, but Shen Yue's mood became even heavier. Thinking that after marrying into the Xu family, she would no longer be able to do whatever she wanted as before, let alone go back to Jinling, she couldn't help but turn her heart sideways, and then looked up at Xu Xun, and said with a pleading face: "Xu Xun, I grew up with my grandmother since I was a child, and I want to go home to visit her, okay?" ”

"Yue'er!"

Although Xu Xun said that Shen Yue had always spoken like this, Shen Guang still listened to his heart and couldn't help but open his mouth to call, and when he saw Xu Xun coming over, he gritted his teeth and said: "The Queen Mother has given marriage, you don't want to go anywhere now, your eldest brother and I have already taken care of the house, and the scenery will let you get married first!" ”

Before he left, Shen Fang's family had said that Shen Yue should not think of her, and handle the marriage first, otherwise if she had any chances, this marriage would be delayed for another year. His mother also said that the Shen family was already sorry for Shen Yue, and if she dragged her granddaughter again, she would be uneasy even if she went.

However, Xu Xun verified the guess in his heart from a sentence that he was optimistic about the house, and when he saw that Shen Ke's face changed when he heard this, he waved his hand when he wanted to explain something. Considering the current situation in the capital, and then Xu Liang mentioned returning to his hometown to move his mother's funeral, he pondered for a long time, and then said to Shen Yue with a smile: "It's not easy to say this, Baishan filial piety comes first, of course I promise you." However, now that the news of the marriage here in the capital has spread to everyone, I will send you back to Jinling after our marriage is completed. ”

"Huh?"

As soon as these words came out, not to mention that Shen Yue was taken aback for a while, even the Shen family's father and son were dumbfounded. Xu Xun didn't mean to explain, and lightly asked Shen Ke to take good care of Shen Guang, and said that he had already asked the envoy of the Tai Hospital to come to check the pulse in person, and then he undoubtedly pulled Shen Yue up and said goodbye. As soon as the two of them went out, Shen Guang let out a long breath.

"I didn't expect him and Yue'er to have such a relationship."

Shen Ke couldn't help but be puzzled: "Dad, this is a good thing, what are you sighing for?" ”

"It's a good thing, but there are not a few loving couples who have the opposite purpose. Yue'er's surname is impulsive and straightforward, and now the uncle can naturally tolerate everything when he likes it, but I'm afraid that he will get tired of it, and after all, Qi Da is not a coincidence......"

"Dad, why do you always think so badly? There are loving couples, but they are not as many as growing old together. Among the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, there are many people who grow old together in harmony with Qin Se, you think too much! I think Xu Xun is cool and responsible, and he made everything clear just now, so don't look ahead and look backwards. After a pause, Shen Ke looked directly into Shen Guang's eyes and said, "If Dad is because he is too prominent in the court, will he be stable in the future, then there is no need to think about it." Both glory and humiliation, how did the Shen family survive under Zhao Qin's covetousness, presumably my father would not even understand this. ”

What was the prospective father-in-law and the prospective uncle talking about, Xu Xun was not very interested, and after pulling Shen Yue out of the main room with one hand, he saw several girls in the courtyard looking at him together, and then hurriedly turned around, bowing his head, but he didn't let go of the little girl's desperate hand to break free, and went straight into the west wing room with the embroidery frame, and closed the door again.

At this moment, Shen Yue didn't have the heart to care about Xu Xun's unshy move just now, raised his head and said anxiously: "Why did you say in front of your father that you wanted to send me back to Nanjing?" You can't finish doing things in the court every day, how can you leave, and there are so many people who have calculated you before, if you leave, who knows if the three of you will become a tiger and participate in the killing? ”

"Of course I do, silly girl."

Xu Xun pecked her red lips lightly, and saw that she immediately pushed him away with her hands against his chest, and he wrapped his slender waist and smiled: "It's okay, I know it all in my heart." Moreover, I once promised my father that he would go back to Nanjing to move my mother's funeral. Since you are going back, I will take advantage of your return to visit my grandmother. Those old friends in Nanjing, I also have to stop by to have a look. ”

Hearing Xu Xun say this, Shen Yue almost believed it, but still asked a few questions, seeing that Xu Xun was always relaxed and relaxed, she finally put her mind at ease, but still said word by word: "If you can't leave, don't coax me." All you need to do is find someone reliable to escort me and my big brother and me back. ”

"Don't worry, I'll do what I say." Leng Buding pinched the tip of his nose, and Xu Xun let go of his hand, "Okay, your father is sick like this, and the knot in his heart will not be untied in a while, if I stand there for a long time, he will probably be more uncomfortable, so I will leave first, you, as a daughter, accompany him more, so as to save him from thinking nonsense." It's that your eldest brother has grown a lot over the past year, and the most rare thing is that he is generous. Xu Jing went back to Jiangyin, but Tang Yin was still living at home, you might as well let him take the ink scroll to intersect. That is the first of the four talents in Suzhou, even if the spirit is used elsewhere now, but the vision is still there, and it doesn't hurt to let people point out. When Wang Shikun was free, he asked him to take him to visit Xie Dasicheng, who was visiting Beijian. ”

praised the elder brother's atmosphere, but Shen Yue heard Xu Xun accusing his father of being stingy, although he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, he still agreed. However, when she returned to the west room of the main house, she saw that Shen Guang had already fallen asleep, and her brother was sitting quietly on the sidelines, she hesitated for a moment, and finally did not step forward to say Xu Xun's arrangement, but just stood there watching with one hand on the door curtain.

In any case, it was her father who gave birth to her and raised her for sixteen years...... And Xu Xun went all the way back to the study, sat down behind the big bookcase, spread out a piece of paper casually, and was about to roll up his sleeves to polish the ink, when he found that there was an extra figure in front of him. Recognizing that it was Tao Hong, he withdrew his hand with a slight smile, and when the inkstone had already stored a small half of the ink, he saw Tao Hong withdraw from the room with his hand down, so he dipped his pen in ink and wrote a few words on the paper.

One new, one old. Under the new one, he wrote a Xu, then a Liu, thought about it, and wrote a Jiao character under Liu, and then wrote several surnames such as Liu, Li, Xie, Han, and Liu below the old one...... It was easy to finish a simple structural drawing, and he took a pen to draw between the names of a person, and the messy lines on the last piece of paper were already difficult to distinguish.

"This side of the capital is frozen as if it is deadlocked, if you want to break the ice, it is better for me to jump out first, maybe I can move the whole body, and after all, I am from Nanjing, I should also go back to run the business...... But if I had brought it up on my own initiative, according to the impression I had left on people before, it would have been possible for someone else to be vigilant, and it would have been better for someone else to be vigilant, so that they would have felt that they had finally succeeded in driving out a thorn in their side......"

Muttering to himself, Xu Xun raised his head and muttered for a while before calling Bao: "Go to Lingji Hutong to invite Father-in-law Gu, just say that I will invite him and Father-in-law Liu and Father-in-law Zhang to come to my house when they are free, but my family is about to get married, and I have to ask them to help me with some things!" ”
