If it weren't for the skin that Chen Shimei left to Chen Yuan, Qin Xianglian almost doubted whether she was lying on her husband's body. Just now, Chen Shimei, who only knew how to read, brought her infinite joy, letting her know for the first time that being a woman can be happy like this, at least in the most wonderful process at that moment, she felt very good.

Chen Yuan took her calloused hand: "Lady, I will treat you like this in the future." It's me who owes you a lot, when you married me, your hands were still very white and tender, and I really suffered you in the past two years, and when I got to Bianjing, I would compensate you well. ”

What he said was emotional, Qin Xianglian listened to it even more emotionally, and the arm holding Chen Yuan's chest tightened: "As long as Xianggong remembers me in his heart, I will be content." ”

The warm atmosphere was interrupted by a hurried knock on the door, Chen Yuan was very stunned in his heart, Qin Xianglian immediately got up and put on her clothes: "It must be Brother Dong, he can't sleep if he doesn't sleep with me at night, I think it's my father who can't take him with him." ”

The words are very easy, but of course Chen Yuan knows the hardships in the middle.

The child has to sleep with his mother at night, which is not a big deal. But Qin Xianglian has to take care of housework during the day and the children at night, not only Qin Xianglian has been like this in the two years that Chen Shimei has left, but when Chen Shimei was at home in the past, it was just one more master to serve for Qin Xianglian.

After she put on two clothes, she went down and opened the door, and sure enough, it was Brother Chen Dong standing outside the door with tears on his face: "Mother, don't you want me when my father comes back?" ”

Before Qin Xianglian could speak, Chen Yuan beckoned from the quilt: "How could I not want you?" Come on, will your father and mother take you to sleep with you tonight? ”

When Brother Chen Dong heard this, he immediately broke into tears and laughed, and quickly climbed into bed. Qin Xianglian let Brother Dong sleep in it, and after coaxing him for a while, the child still didn't sleep.

Qin Xianglian was obviously very patient, she was also worried that Chen Yuan was a little bored, so she turned her head to Chen Yuan and said, "Xianggong, you have been on the road for a few days, go to bed early, and I can coax the child." ”

In Chen Shimei's memory, when the child cried in the past, he always thought that the child disturbed his quiet reading, and he was too angry about it.

Chen Yuan knew that he was possessed by Chen Shimei, and there must be a reason why God saw that the two of them were not things.

He won't go to sleep now, he is not tired at all when he is in a carriage, even if he is a little sleepy, he has to be patient, even if he doesn't know how to help Qin Xianglian coax the child at this time, at least he has to accompany her.

Chen Yuan looked at Brother Chen Dong's wide eyes: "Brother Dong, are you particularly happy that your father is back?" So you can't sleep? ”

Brother Chen Dong turned his head to look at him: "No, I used to sleep in this bed with my mother and sister, but why is it suddenly small today?" I can't even turn around! ”

After saying this, Qin Xianglian immediately laughed, but Chen Yuan felt very faceless, and immediately said, "It's because the bed is small!" After a few days, my father will take you to Bianjing, and I will arrange a room for you, with a big bed in it, and only let you sleep alone, okay? ”

Brother Chen Dong immediately shook his head: "No! I want to sleep with my mother! ”

Chen Yuan's face straightened: "No! When the boys are older, they should sleep on their own! ”

Brother Chen Dong looked at him: "Then why don't you sleep by yourself?" ”

Qin Xianglian, who asked in one sentence, suddenly laughed out loud, and Chen Yuan was also speechless. After a while, he said, "Okay, how about I'll put your big bed in your mother's room?" ”

Brother Chen Dong was satisfied: "Dad, is Bianjing fun?" Can you find a bird in a tree? ”

Qin Xianglian slapped Brother Dong's buttocks: "Hurry up and sleep, I'll ask your father tomorrow." Otherwise, you'll go to sleep on your own. ”

The child did not dare to disobey his mother's order, and hurriedly closed his eyes, and after a while finally made a well-proportioned breathing sound.

Qin Xianglian put the child down, turned her head and got into Chen Yuan's arms again: "Xianggong, will Dad go to Bianjing?" ”

Her worries were not unreasonable, Chen Yuan also knew that this old man had a stubborn temper, and he looked down on the most traders. This time, he didn't go to the fame test, but instead did the business he looked down on the most, this old man really wouldn't necessarily follow him.

When Qin Xianglian asked this question, Chen Yuan really didn't have much confidence that he could convince this old man, sighed deeply, and remained silent.

Qin Xianglian's fingers slowly swept across Chen Yuan's chest: "I heard that there will be another scientific examination tomorrow spring, and it is better for Xianggong to test for a meritorious name, and if you do some business like this, my father will not go with you." ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "Well, I will definitely refer to it in the spring of next year." Xianglian, do you think this is good, let's talk to my father tomorrow, he listens to you. I really want to take the whole family over, you don't know the kind of people who don't have you by their side, although they make a lot of money, but they always feel unsteady. ”

Chen Yuan told the truth, Qin Xianglian didn't go, his heart was really unsteady!

Qin Xianglian heard Chen Yuan say this, and the corners of her mouth smiled slightly: "Don't worry, if my father doesn't go, I will continue to take care of him at home, you can participate in next year's scientific examination with peace of mind, and when you are famous, your father will go." ”

Chen Yuan's voice suddenly became louder: "No! You must come with me! ”

Qin Xianglian was stunned by his sudden change, and raised her eyes to look at Chen Yuan: "What's wrong with Xianggong?" We're all gone, what should we do? If my father doesn't go, my mother won't go either. ”

Chen Yuan's expression was very grim, Qin Xianglian must be taken away, otherwise he would never be able to eradicate his heart disease! He also realized his gaffe just now, and immediately lowered his voice again: "If my father and mother really don't want to go, I will buy a house in the market town and ask someone to take care of them." Xianglian, will you come with me? ”

This time, it was Qin Xianglian's turn to change her tone: "How could Xianggong say such a thing? We all went to Bianjing to hand over our father and mother to others to take care of, and people would say that we were unfilial, and they would also say that our father and mother had no way to discipline us! ”

Chen Yuan knew that what she said was the truth, in the Song Dynasty, especially during the reign of Renzong, he paid attention to a benevolent and filial piety to rule the world, if he did this, then he would be truthful in the future. Chen Yuan really doesn't care about the truth, anyway, he doesn't plan to take the top prize exam in his life, and he doesn't want to be an official, and the so-called participation in the scientific examination next year is just a lie to deceive people.

But Qin Xianglian cares, so she categorically won't leave her in-laws and Chen Shimei to go to Bianjing alone.

Chen Yuan hugged Qin Xianglian.

Qin Xianglian is kind, she is like a warm spring, making Chen Yuan feel a kind of happiness once again that someone is waiting for him. He had this feeling in his previous life, but he didn't cherish it himself, so when he asked for it from heaven, he didn't get any mercy. This time, Chen Yuan was reluctant to miss it again.

Qin Xianglian is strong, this family has always been her carrying the burden alone, she has carried everything on her shoulders, so that her man can work hard for her ideals without scruples. In the past, she was carrying responsibility, and now, she has to carry that tiring reputation. This responsibility and reputation are all Chen Shimei.

She is hardworking, from marriage to now, serving a large family, but she has never complained for half a sentence. She was generous, and when Chen Yuan brought Linghua back, her bearing made a man impressed. She is considerate and always considerate of Chen Shimei. She was brave, and when Chen Shimei was about to be hit by the wooden shovel, she did not hesitate to block Chen Shimei with her body!

Chen Yuan sighed deeply, his arm was forced, as if he wanted to rub her into his body, and he couldn't help but say: "Good woman!" ”

When I woke up early the next morning, Linghua had already made breakfast.

Chen Shimei's parents praised the craftsmanship of Linghua while eating. Their appreciation made Linghua's face full of bright smiles, because for her, it meant that she had stepped into the threshold of the Chen family.

Chen Yuan didn't care about this, he was only thinking about how to persuade the old man to go to Bianjing with him. Linghua brought him a bowl of noodles, he sat next to the old man, and said with a very serious face: "Dad, I am going to take the scientific examination next year, don't worry, I will definitely be able to win." ”

This sentence made the old man's tense face relax a lot: "If you want to take the exam, you will read the book carefully after you go back, and stop all such a business!" I haven't seen anyone who can make a name for themselves while doing business! ”

Chen Yuan secretly said in his heart, this business is not something that can be stopped by saying that he can stop now, this is how the business grows, if he doesn't do it, what about the dozen or so guys who came back from Liaoguo? What about the nearly 200 Jurchens who came down from Changbai Mountain? Linghua father and daughter can continue to be their little inn, but what about Han Qi and Amuda? Let them go back to wandering the rivers and lakes, or steal again? When everyone is looking at themselves, pick on them? You can't be like that.

Since he has chosen this path, Chen Yuan will continue to walk. Of course, this idea could not be known to the old man. It's better to trick him into going to Bianjing first.

At that moment, he said tentatively: "Dad, Brother Dong has reached the age of literacy, and in Bianjing City, many girls as old as Chunmei have entered the school to learn to read, I want them to learn too, what do you think?" ”

Old Man Chen thought for a moment and put down the chopsticks in his hand: "You mean, take them to Bianjing?" ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "I just had this idea, discuss it with you, what I want is to take our family with me, I can get a big mansion in Bianjing, enough for us to live." And the matter of Linghua entering the door, I also want you to go to it. ”

Linghua's head was lowered, and her hand was a little cramped and she didn't know where to put it, but Chen Shimei's mother was very happy to hear it, and pulled her hand over: "It's a good girl, Shimei, you can't treat others badly." ”

Chen Yuan immediately followed the words and said: "Don't worry, mother, I just want to take you away, and then handle things in Bianjing." ”

These two excuses were two that Chen Yuanyi picked out from countless excuses in one night, and he thought that he should be able to impress Chen Shimei's father.

At least for the sake of a better education for the offspring, he will agree, at least for the sake of another daughter-in-law, he can not be without etiquette when he enters the door.

Sure enough, after the two reasons were said, Chen Shimei's father had a trace of hesitation on his face, there seemed to be some contradiction in his eyes, and the chopsticks knocked on the side of the bowl without speaking.

Chen Yuan hurriedly said again: "It's just my idea, I don't know if my father has any opinions?" ”
