Old Lady Shen's face was a little not good-looking.

Shen Chong saw it, and hurriedly said: "Mother, this matter is not in a hurry, Yunqi This kid has been down-to-earth and hardworking recently, and he has also gained some good reputation in the court, I estimate that by next year, his position will be promoted again, and it is not impossible to discuss family affairs at that time." ”

"Yunqi is not small! He's twenty years old! Old Mrs. Shen's face was a little ugly when she heard this, and she said angrily: "When you are as old as him, you already have two children, Yunlan and Nianzhen!" If it weren't for Zhu's early death, there would have been more children in this family......"

When the words fell, I saw that Liao Fangru's face changed on the side, and she was a little unhappy.

If Shen Nianzhen's mother hadn't died early, it wouldn't have been Liao Fangru's turn to marry in now, right?

"Mother, go and ask tomorrow, go and ask." Seeing this, Shen Zhong hurriedly said.

He really has a headache for his mother's nonsense.

"That's pretty much it." When Mrs. Shen heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving Chunhui Courtyard, Shen Zhong breathed a long sigh of relief, and recently he felt more and more that it was a little uncomfortable to accompany his mother to eat.

I really don't know how much Shen Nianzhen has endured by Mrs. Shen's side day and night over the years.

No wonder she has such a good temper.

"Fangru, I'm sorry, I'm embarrassed." Holding his wife's hand heavily, he said helplessly: "Mother really loves these children so much, sometimes she doesn't care about doing things, if you feel embarrassed, don't ......"

"General/Army." Liao Fangru interrupted him gently.

Immediately handed the child to the nurse, looked at him faintly and said: "It's rare for my mother to open her mouth once, no matter what, I should ask for her, but please also ask the general/army to understand one thing, Kanglan and Yulan's two nieces, their marriage, mainly by my sister-in-law, the so-called matchmaker's words, the parents' order is like this, even my mother, can only put forward an opinion......"

"I know all of this." Shen Zhong hurriedly said when he heard this.

"So, I can only ask my mother and sister-in-law about their plans, and recommend Yunqi to them, but I can't make the decision." Liao Fangru said: "I have to say these words first, don't be complained by my mother if the matter is not done by then......"

"No, it won't." Shen Chongyan couldn't help but say: "My mother is not that kind of person, she is just too worried about Yun Qi's marriage, she also knows that you can't be the master of this matter, you can help to ask, it is already a great help, if my aunt really doesn't like Yun Qi, it's nothing, wait for two years, let's find another family for him." ”

"I believe that with the reputation of General Shen/Junfu, coupled with Yun Qi's talent, his marriage will not be difficult."

In this way, Shen Zheng is determined to cover Shen Yunqi? This can be regarded as a qualified uncle.

Liao Fangru was thoughtful when she heard this.

The next day, she packed up, hugged the child with gifts, and prepared to go back to Liao's house.

As a result, when he went out, he encountered the weight of the dust and dust coming back, and he said to Liao Fangru: "Madame, wait for me, I'll go change my clothes, and I'll accompany you later." ”

After saying that, he hurried into the house.

He's going too?

Liao Fangru was so surprised that before she could speak, there was no heavy shadow in front of her.

Well, he wants to go with him so actively, it seems that this marriage is inevitable, and I don't know if my sister-in-law will let go and agree.

Liao Fangru held the child, stood in front of the courtyard, and sighed slightly.

But at this moment, Shen Yunqi came back.

He was still wearing the old blue robe that was a little patched, and he was neatly cleaned up and down, walking briskly from outside, carrying a food box in his hand, and walking quickly with his head down, until he walked to Liao Fangru's side, he didn't find out.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Shen Yunqi stopped, looked at her in surprise, and stepped forward to salute.

"Why are you back at this time?" Liao Fangru looked at him quietly and asked.

In all fairness, Shen Yunqi is not ugly.

The facial features are also handsome, a little similar to Shen Yunlan, but the skin is darker, and the prodigal appearance in the early years is gone, and he really looks like a steady and promising young man.

If Shen Yunqi was not born in the second room of the Shen family, even if he was born in the third room, with the current status of the Shen family, as well as the relationship between the Shen and Liao families, Liao Fangru would raise his hands and feet to agree with his family affair with Liao Kanglan, but it is a pity that Shen Yunqi has such a pair of wonderful parents and sisters, and the romance in the early years will not be forgotten.

It's a shame.

"Oh, there is no errand in the yamen today, and my grandmother left a message in the morning to let me come back early, saying that I have something to order." Shen Yunqi smiled shyly and replied.

Since returning to Beijing, he has rarely chatted with women alone, and at this moment, looking at Liao Fangru's scrutinizing gaze, he seems very detained.

"Mother has something to call you, so you can go over." Liao Fangru nodded with a smile when she heard this, and then looked at the food box in Shen Yunqi's hand: "You also brought a gift for your grandmother?" It's really filial. ”

"It's just some pastries, it's nothing, if you want to talk about filial piety, the people in this Manchu Mansion can't compare to you and your uncle." Shen Yunqi smiled humbly and said: "I came back in a hurry today, I didn't know that I would meet my sister-in-law, so I didn't bring you snacks, what do you like to eat, send a mother-in-law to tell me, and I will bring you one when I come back tomorrow."

"No, thank you." Liao Fangru shook her head with a smile and said, "The grandma next to me will go out to buy every day, and she will buy whatever she needs, come on, it's not too early, you should hurry up and see the old lady." ”

"Yes, sister-in-law." Shen Yunqi respectfully agreed, and then turned to leave.

Liao Fangru led the maids and grandmothers to look at his back from afar, thoughtful.

The grandmothers laughed and said: "Madam, I heard from the people in the house, the second young master has been back to Beijing for so long, and there is no maid around to serve, even that little maid, it is still the old lady who insisted again and again before staying, you look at the robe he wears, it is said that it is the old clothes of the eldest young master in the past, he just wears it out in such a grand manner, and he does not dislike the shabby, it can be seen that he is really clear from the previous behavior in his heart." ”

"This may also be the ...... he played," Liao Fangru said thoughtfully.

The two grandmothers glanced at each other, and then smiled: "Young lady, the slave maid thinks that you are too worried, the old lady mentioned this marriage, it is still a recent matter, but the second young master has been so self-disciplined and decent since he returned to Beijing, could he have predicted the prophet and guessed that the old lady would discuss the marriage for him, so he acted in front of you, young lady?" Then he must be too prepared......"

When Shen Yunqi returned to Beijing, at that time, she had not yet married.

Naturally, this is nonsense.

Liao Fangru listened quietly and did not refute anything.

"Let's go." At this time, the sound of footsteps came, Shen Zhong changed into a solemn dark blue robe, strode out of the courtyard, and smiled softly at Liao Fangru: "Sorry, Madame has been waiting for a long time." ”

Liao Fangru had been thinking about Shen Yunqi just now, but she didn't notice how long she had been waiting, and when she heard Shen Chong's words, she noticed that her arms holding the child were a little sore, and the child was also very uncomfortable writhing in her arms, wanting to change her position.

Liao Fangru hurriedly handed over the child to the nurse beside her, and then shook her head with a smile: "It's nothing, let's go." ”

The family of three went out of the house, got into a carriage, and went all the way to Liao's house.

In the carriage, he looked at Liao Fangru, who was a little absent-minded, thinking that she was worried about this matter, and gently persuaded at the moment: "Don't worry too much, when you get to the Liao family, I just have to drink and chat with my father-in-law and a few brothers, you can quietly say a few words to your mother and sister-in-law about this matter, just don't think that I am here to put pressure on you." ”

"Of course not, I thought the general/army was there to support me." Liao Fangru immediately laughed when she heard this.

Shen Zheng didn't speak again, and reached out to take the child who fell asleep as soon as he got into the car from the nurse's hand: "I'll hold it." “

His arms were steady and powerful, but a little hard, and the child writhed uncomfortably with his little body, but when he smelled the familiar smell of the people around him, he continued to sleep with confidence.

Shen looked at it, and his face was full of love.

He has passed the age of not being confused, and there are already two adult children by his side, Shen Yunlan and Shen Nianzhen, but God gave him another son, this thing that he had never hoped for before has become a reality, and every time Shen Chong sees a child, he will have a sense of unreality in a dream.

He loves this child so much, every time Xiu Mu comes home, he holds the child and does not let go, which is even more than Liao Fangru hugs, so the child is very familiar with him.

"The posture of the commander holding the child is very skillful." The grandmothers on both sides were pursing their lips and laughing.

Liao Fangru sat comfortably on the side, looking at the two of them laughing at the opposite side, and her heart was also full of happiness.

This is her happiness.

She must hold it firmly, and she will never let it slip out of the palm of her hand again! Absolutely not!

Soon, the Liao family arrived.

The doorkeeper of the Liao family got the news early in the morning, and hurriedly went in to report, not long after, when the carriage of the Shen Zhong couple stopped at the door of the Liao family, and the couple got off the car with the child, the old lady Liao had already led Mrs. Liao and a large group of relatives of the Liao family out to greet her.

"The Grand Commander and Fangru are here, let's enter the mansion quickly." Mrs. Liao looked at her son-in-law holding the child in front of her, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

"Mother-in-law." Shen Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Okay, good, it's good to come." Mrs. Liao couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and personally stepped forward to take over her grandson from Shen Chong's arms, and screamed with a baby, and Mrs. Liao on the side persuaded with a smile: "Mother, hurry up and let the girl and aunt enter the house!" The child is still young, and it is not good to blow the wind outside......"

Liao Fangru's child was not easy to come by, and he was calculated by a traitor before, and he almost died, and he was very expensive.

When Mrs. Liao heard this, she immediately nodded: "Okay, good, come into the house!" Fast in! ”

The group of people was lively and surrounded by Shen Chong, Liao Fangru and others entered the mansion and sat down in the flower hall, looking at the old lady Liao's happiness, it was even happier than the New Year.

In this festive and joyful atmosphere, Liao Kanglan and Liao Yulan, two little girls, also came out to meet the guests, Shen Chong had never seen them before, and he didn't know which one his old lady had a crush on, so he couldn't help but look curiously.

The next moment, Liao Fangru pulled his sleeve and lowered her voice and said, "It's the one on the left who wears the colored clothes, and the one who wears the pink clothes is the sister, and the marriage with the Chen family has been decided." ”

Really?

Hearing this, Shen Zhong pretended to inadvertently sweep over the little purple girl's body, and quickly withdrew his gaze.

The little girl is innocent, lively and cute, with two small pear vortices on her cheeks, a smile can melt people's hearts, and sure enough, Mrs. Shen's eyes are very tricky.

It is said that this Liao Kanglan is straightforward and kind, and it is really good for such a girl to marry Shen Yunqi.

It's just that Yun Qi is a little high.

I don't know if this marriage can be done.

Shen took a sip of hot tea, smiled and greeted everyone in the Liao family, and pretended to be casual.

He didn't expect that the glance he took at Liao Kanglan fell into the eyes of the old lady and the eldest lady of the Liao family.

Isn't it enough for Shen to have a wife, and start playing with other ideas? Otherwise, why would he come back with Liao Fangru today?

No way! When pigs fly! Shen is not that kind of person!

However, what if......

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of shock in their eyes.

At noon, the couple enjoyed a sumptuous luncheon with everyone at Liao's house, and the banquet was very lively.

After the meal, Mrs. Liao quietly called Liao Fangru to her room, stepped back from her left and right, and asked with a face: "Why did you come back with the Great Commander this time?" ”

“…… Mother, do you know everything? Liao Fangru was taken aback by the question, and her expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Liao thought she had guessed correctly, and immediately gasped.

"So, not long after you gave birth to a child, Shen Chong is going to take a concubine again? He also has a crush on Conlan? I'm telling you it won't work at all! The relationship between our family and the Shen family, and the relationship between you and Kanglan's aunt and nephew, is impossible! ”

"Mother! What nonsense are you talking about? Liao Fangru was confused when she heard this, and said with an embarrassed face: "We came today to ask to marry Kanglan for Shen Yunqi in our second room!" When did I say that Shen is important to take a concubine? He will never take a concubine! You can rest assured! ”

"Isn't it heavy?"

After saying so much, Mrs. Liao only listened to this sentence, and when she heard this, she suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, reached out and stroked her chest and said, "It's okay, it's okay......"

Before the words fell, she suddenly raised her head again, looked at her daughter in disbelief and said, "What did you just say?" Are you here to marry Kanglan for the sake of Shen Yunqi, the gentleman in the second room? Where did he get such a big face! ”

Mrs. Liao was furious and felt that she had been humiliated.

Liao Kanglan is one of her most beloved granddaughters! She had planned for her marriage early, but she didn't plan to marry the Shen family too!

"Mother, listen to me."

Liao Fangru took her mother's hand, begged Mrs. Liao to sit down, and then persuaded her softly: "Please think about it, mother, Kanglan's temperament is straightforward and lively, and people don't have any heart, a girl like her, born in a family like us, is really good to protect her, are you sure that she can live a good life if she marries into that high-ranking family?" ”

"That's ...... than the Shen family," Old Lady Liao frowned when she heard this.

"Now of the Shen family, at least I can be the master of the house." Liao Fangru said softly: "In the future, it will be even more." “

When Mrs. Liao heard this, her eyes couldn't help but light up.

Yes, no matter how powerful the family in Shangjing is, there is no such benefit.

"But......" Old Lady Liao still hesitated: "Then Shen Yunqi was a prodigal child before......"

"I'm Conlan's aunt, do you think I'll let her be wronged? What's more, the two people in the second room of the Shen family are long gone to Beijing, and whether they are still alive or not, it is not necessarily. Liao Fangru said softly when she heard this: "As for Shen Yunqi, he has been back in Beijing for more than a year, almost when I got married, I know better than anyone what kind of life he has lived in this year." “

Then he told all about Shen Yunqi's performance in the Shen family.

The more Mrs. Liao listened, the bigger her eyes became: "...... He, after he returned to Beijing, he really didn't have a maid by his side? Don't be extravagant and wasteful on weekdays? These are the things you can see, the places you can't see......"

"He gets up at three o'clock every day and goes out, reports to the yamen, and then comes back on time at two o'clock, sometimes he comes back a little later, but when he comes back, he will bring the old lady a box of Poria cakes that she loves to eat." Liao Fangru said lightly: "Several brothers in our house are also on duty in the court, when will they come back, grandmother you should know, right?" “

When Mrs. Liao heard this, she suddenly had nothing to say.

Indeed, several of her children and grandchildren, some of whom were on duty in the court, usually came back in time.

No one has ever been as honest as Shen Yunqi.

"But how long can he last like this? What if one day the old ways come back? Old Mrs. Liao frowned tightly when she heard this: "A good family background is the icing on the cake, but Kanglan married to live with him, and the most important thing is Shen Yunqi!" Is he worthy of Conlan? Will it fail her in the future? No one can say for sure......"

"Mother, don't worry." Liao Fangru immediately smiled when she heard this: "Now it is the husband who is in charge of Shen Yunqi in the mansion, and of course the eldest young master, once he does anything out of the ordinary, we don't need to do it, the general/army will teach him a lesson directly!" ”

When Mrs. Liao saw her confident appearance, she had nothing to say.

She turned her head, beckoned, and called in a mother-in-law and asked her to invite Mrs. Liao to come.
