"Magnolia, Kanglan, are you here?" Shen Nianzhen looked as usual, smiled and turned back to greet them, stopped the two girls from saluting her, and ordered them to take their seats.

"Sister." Shen Yunqi came over to greet her with a red face.

"Well, it's pretty early today." Shen Nianzhen nodded at him with a smile, and raised his hand to signal him to take a seat as well.

Liao Kanglan, who had already sat down, suddenly felt a little cramped and uneasy.

Shen Nianzhen glanced at her and asked with a smile: "Sister Kanglan, there are just a few of us today, and there is no one else, so there is no need to divide the seats, I will ask Ruhua to make a screen to block it, do you think it's okay?"

"No need." Liao Yulan hurriedly said: "It's all my own family, and Second Brother Shen is not an outsider, so there is no need to be so troublesome." ”

With these words, she successfully prevented Liao Kanglan from speaking.

"Okay then." Shen Nianzhen nodded when he heard this, and let the grandmothers go down.

Only the picturesque served them in the gazebo.

"Sister Nianzhen, how many days are you going to give birth?" In the end, it was a child's heart, not long after taking a seat, the two of them curiously gathered around Shen Nianzhen, staring at her round belly.

"It's been a few days, and the master said it's just a few days." Shen Nianzhen also glanced down at her belly, and said with a smile: "Originally, Concubine Qi was worried that I was too thin and the child I gave birth to was not in good health, but you see now, the closer I get to the birth, the bigger this belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, almost every day, the master said, this child must be chubby when he is born." ”

The indescribable pampering in the tone.

"That's good." Liao Yulan immediately said: "Sister, don't listen to others, just follow your own ideas, how comfortable you are."

"yes, yes." Liao Kanglan nodded on the side and said with a smile: "I hope my sister can get a man in one fell swoop." “

"I hope to be a daughter with the prince."

Shen Nianzhen lowered her head and touched her stomach dotingly, and said with a smile: "How well-behaved the girl is, she is much more worry-free than the boy." ”

"But the world wants to be a boy." Liao Kanglan said puzzledly: "Look at the queen mother, the prince died and immediately collapsed, and the princess, who was crazy for a son, and now everyone is in the palace, and he is not honest!" And your mother, if you don't give birth to a boy, I'm afraid you won't be able to gain a foothold in the Shen family......"

Liao Yulan gently pinched her arm, and said with an apologetic smile: "Sister, don't be angry, my sister is open-mouthed, we can't control this other people's affairs, and there is nothing wrong with my sister liking girls, it's just that this birth of a boy and a girl is destined by God, no one knows what it is before being born, we can only wish my sister her wish to come true." ”

"Everyone talks casually, Sister Conlan is straightforward, I like it very much." Shen Nianzhen said with a smile when he heard this.

Then he glanced at Liao Kanglan, feeling a little regretful.

She really likes Liao Kanglan, a girl, she is straightforward and not pretentious, if Shen Yunqi can marry her back, it is indeed an excellent family business, but Mrs. Shen only prefers boys, the third lady Ding in the past, and Liao Fangru have suffered a lot in her hands, this is the shortcomings of Mrs. Shen, no matter how much Shen Nianzhen loves her, she will not shy away from it.

Liao Kanglan is so good, Shen Nianzhen is really reluctant to let her marry into the Shen family, in case her husband has a daughter after marriage, wouldn't she want to follow the old path of the Ding family?

God, it's a real dilemma.

Shen Yunqi couldn't interject in the whispers between these girls, and sat alone and drank tea a little embarrassed, feeling that he was simply a superfluous person.

He couldn't interject, he hadn't talked to a girl for a long time, and he didn't know how to talk to the girl he liked.

Wait, even in the past, he didn't have any favorite women!

The people who were having fun in the field were nothing, and he didn't have any intention of marrying someone back.

Shen Yunqi thought a lot about it, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly heard Shen Nianzhen ask him: "Second brother, if you marry a wife in the future, and your grandmother dislikes your wife and gives birth to a daughter, what will you do?" ”

Shen Yunqi was stunned.

Liao Kanglan quickly raised her head and looked at him with burning eyes with Liao Yulan, waiting for him to answer.

“…… Why did my sister suddenly remember to ask this? Shen Yunqi stammered and asked.

"These are all problems that will definitely be encountered when you get married in the future, so let's assume it now, it's nothing." Shen Nianzhen looked at him and smiled.

Shen Yunqi was silent, he had never considered this issue before.

But now, since Shen Nianzhen asked, he thought about it.

What if his wife gave birth to a girl? What should a grandmother do if she doesn't love her children and wife?

Shen Yunqi thought for a long, long time before finally speaking: "The old people all say that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, if, if my future wife gives birth to a child and someone makes it difficult for her, I will stand in front of her to defend her, if it is a girl, it will be a cute and beautiful child, I like it too late!" How could he abuse her? As for the wife, she, if she is willing to give birth again, then I ......."

"What if your wife is injured and can't raise her again?" Liao Kanglan quickly took over the conversation and said, "Then are you going to divorce your wife and marry again?" Or a concubine? “

"How can that be?" Shen Yunqi stood up immediately after asking, and said a little angrily: "Everyone has hurt their bodies for giving birth, shouldn't you pity her more, take care of her, and love her?" Should I stay with her forever? How can you start and abandon it? In that case, what is the difference between being a beast? “

"What if someone forces you to divorce your wife and marry another wife, or take a concubine?" Liao Yulan said quietly.

"If someone forces me, I'll take a break." Shen Yunqi seemed to be a little angry when he heard this: "It's a big deal, I'll leave the Shen family with her!" Feel free to live our own lives! I'm not afraid of even if it's a little bitter, I'm just wronging her.

This remark was a surprise.

Liao Kanglan was stunned when she heard this.

Liao Yulan couldn't speak, she looked at her sister, then looked at Shen Yunqi with a complicated expression, and finally remained silent.

Shen Nianzhen was also very surprised, her eyes swept over Shen Yunqi's face, she knew that these words were from his heart, so she smiled immediately and said slowly: "Second brother, what if the person who persecuted you was grandmother?" What do you do? ”

"Grandmother, grandmother?" Shen Yunqi was stunned when he heard this, and it seemed that he had never thought about it.

"yes." Shen Nianzhen looked at him, sighed slightly, and said quietly: "The third aunt has been coldly regarded by her grandmother over the years, just because she couldn't give birth to a son, she didn't know what life she had over the years, she refused to be convinced, and she fought for the second and third children with a hard breath, and almost fought hard to finally give birth to a son!" But that son is weak and needs to be taken care of, and the third aunt is almost anxious for the sake of that child, and she is even provoked by others, takes a fork in the road, and does such a thing that people and gods are angry about......"

"In the final analysis, the reason why the third aunt has become what she is now is not only her own responsibility, grandmother, the Shen family is responsible for more than half of it." Shen Nianzhen was full of emotion.

She turned around, looked at Shen Yunqi seriously, and said: "You also saw it, grandmother also values you very much now, no, she has always valued you very much from beginning to end, and has never changed, your future wife will definitely be picked on by grandmother, what will you do at that time?" Would you bear to let her become like the third aunt?

"Nope! No! ”

Shen Yunqi shook his head violently.

"Are you saying you won't do it yourself, or do you think Grandmother won't push you?"

"Neither." Shen Yunqi shook his head and said, "Sister, I think you are worried, I don't even have a favorite girl now, and the marriage has not been decided, and it will be a few years before I have a child, and my grandmother's mind should be on the eldest brother and sister-in-law now, right?" Shouldn't she be expecting her eldest brother and sister-in-law to have a son? How can you persecute me? ”

"What's more, there's more." Shen Yunqi said, looking at Shen Nianzhen: "The child in your belly is about to be born, and your grandmother and her old man come to ask you every day if you give birth to a boy or a girl?" Will she persecute you? ”

"That's different." Shen Nianzhen smiled helplessly when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Second brother, you are confused, how can I be the same as you?" My child, that is to be entered into the royal family tree, is the child of the prince, and what you will be born in the future is the descendant of the Shen family, this is different. ”

"Just because my grandmother doesn't ask for me doesn't mean she doesn't have for you."

What's more, every time Mrs. Shen sees Shen Nianzhen, she will persuade her that when this baby is born, if it is a boy, it will be raised for a few years, and if it is a girl, she will hurry up and have another child!

In short, you must have a son by your side!

"I'll just try my best."

Shen Yunqi sighed when he heard this, and said: "Big brother's ready-made examples are in front of me, and when I get married, I will also hurry up and transfer to become an official!" With his wife and children like this, his grandmother's hand can't stretch out so long. ”

That's a great idea!

Far away from Kyoto, there are only two husband and wife, no one else, and there is no need to live together with a large family, you have to go to greet your elders every day, you just need to live your life behind closed doors, how good!

Liao Kanglan looked at Shen Yunqi's gaze for the first time, and it was a little shiny.

Shen Yunqi is finally not the good-for-nothing wanderer in her heart.

Everyone chatted happily, and the picture came over to inform them that the kitchen had prepared lunch, and it was to see if it would be used in the house or here.

"It's right here, eating, looking at the scenery, and having someone to accompany you, how nice!" Shen Nianzhen said immediately.

"Oops." Hearing this, Ruhua suddenly smiled and shook her head: "The prince didn't go anywhere before, and he stayed with you in the mansion for a whole month!" He has just left, Princess, do you hate to eat alone and be lonely? The slave told the prince at night that he would not go anywhere in the next few days, and he would accompany you! ”

"Actually, you don't need to say it, the prince will stay with his sister."

Shen Yunqi immediately said: "My sister is about to give birth, this is what he should do." ”

"How busy things are in the court, the second prince left everything and just accompanied the princess to give birth...... Liao Kanglan looked at him and said faintly: "Do you think this is normal?" “

"What's the problem?" Shen Yunqi asked rhetorically: "My sister is desperately trying to give birth to him, just to let him temporarily put down the things at hand, shouldn't it?" Human life is at stake! Everything else, whatever it is, can be put on the back burner! ”

Liao Kanglan was speechless for a moment, but her heart was beautiful.

She also hopes that after marriage, she can meet a considerate husband like the second prince! I am willing to spoil myself and love myself in everything......

Now it seems that Shen Yunqi is very good.

"In this way, if your future wife is about to give birth with a big belly, you will also drop everything to accompany her!" Liao Yulan said jokingly.

"That's for sure." Shen Yunqi immediately replied categorically.

"I remember you weren't like this before, how did you come up with this?" Shen Nianzhen looked at him curiously and asked.

"These ...... It's all taught to me by my eldest brother before. Facing these curious eyes, Shen Yunqi replied with a slight blush: "That's what the eldest brother said, that's what he did, and that's what he taught me, so I naturally have to do what he says." “

I see!

Thinking of Shen Yunlan, the eldest son of Shen Yunlan, who was like a breeze and moon, Liao Yulan and Liao Kanglan sisters both let out an exclamation.

The look was envious.

Such a good husband, they want it too! It's a pity that I didn't have this opportunity.

Shen Yunlan got married early.

As he was talking happily, he led a large group of maids and fish into the room, brought up the carefully cooked dishes one by one, and placed them on the table, and the fragrance wafted in the air for a moment, attracting people's appetite fingers.

As soon as Shen Nianzhen smelled the fragrance, he immediately reached out to take the chopsticks, and at the same time beckoned them to eat: "Come on, come on!" Try the newly made peach blossom cake in my house, as well as the peach blossom soup! Let's eat and talk. ”

"Yes, Sister Shen." Sister Liao Yulan generously picked up the chopsticks.

Shen Yunqi sat in the lower position, staring at the dishes in front of him with regular eyes, and he didn't dare to look at the two girls in front of him at all.

This made Liao Kanglan feel funny and at the same time, she couldn't help but relax.

"Have you heard?" Liao Yulan suddenly said mysteriously: "These days, a very funny thing has happened in the court. ”

"What's the matter?" Shen Nianzhen asked very face-wrenchingly.

"Isn't the eldest prince back to court? After he fell seriously ill, his whole person changed! Lost a lot of weight! It is said that the eyes of people are not quite right...... There is a ruthlessness. "Liao Yulan said mysteriously.

Shen Nianzhen didn't particularly care about the eldest prince, but this person was her sworn enemy with Rong Chen, and with his news, she naturally refused to miss it, and raised her eyebrows when she heard the words: "That's it?" Is this funny? ”

"Don't worry! Listen to me continue. Liao Yulan hurriedly said: "These days, as long as the courtiers get close to the eldest prince, they will smell a smell of urine, at first they all suspected that they were peeing their pants, but no!" “

"Eating and eating, can you not talk about these disgusting things?" On the side, Liao Kanglan couldn't help frowning.

Shen Yunqi also couldn't help laughing.

Seeing this, Liao Yulan was immediately a little embarrassed.

However, at this time, Shen Nianzhen said: "I also heard that the smell is from the eldest prince, at first everyone thought that the eldest prince had a strange disease recently and did not pay attention to hygiene, but later, an early dynasty came down, and the entire Qinzheng Hall was almost the thick smell of urine, and everyone felt that something was wrong......"

"But why? How can it smell so big? Liao Kanglan asked strangely.

"I don't know." Liao Yulan shook her head.

Shen Yunqi also shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Shen Nianzhen smiled slightly, not angry.

In fact, many people have begun to doubt this issue secretly, but no one is telling it openly.

Many people began to suspect that the eldest prince was sick, but Shen Nianzhen thought that he had become a eunuch.

Only eunuchs need to recuperate for a month without showing up, and only novice eunuchs will often be unable to control their lower bodies and often wet their pants, so that the smell of urine will not come out? She once told Rong Chen about this possibility with a smile, but Rong Chen denied it with a smile.

I also know that this is impossible, that is the great prince! Who can lay that hand on him?

Shen Nianzhen didn't continue to think about it.

In short, the guests of honor were satisfied with this meal.

After the meal, after bidding farewell to Sister Liao Yulan, Shen Yunqi did not return directly to Shen's house, but returned to Shen Nianzhen's courtyard without saying a word, sat in front of her, and bowed his head with a twist.

Shen Nianzhen glanced at him, and knew what he was thinking, and immediately looked at him with a smile and asked, "Second brother, do you really like Sister Kanglan?" ”

"I like it!" Shen Yunqi nodded again and again, his cheeks slightly reddened: "I'm not worthy of her......"

"It's good to be self-aware." Shen Nianzhen followed his words, nodded and said, "With your reputation as a prodigal son in the past, I refuse to promise Sister Kanglan to you, I am afraid that she will suffer, but on the other hand, you are my second brother, this is really embarrassing, what should I do?"

"Nian Zhen! Are you worried that I won't take care of her? ”

Shen Yunqi said hurriedly: "I understand what you just said in the pavilion!" Our family looks beautiful, but in fact it is rotten inside, my grandmother is old, she prefers boys and despises girls all her life, no one has the ability to make her change, the only thing I can do is to take my wife away from here. Shen Yunqi looked at her and said seriously: "I really want to go to the field to take office, and I have thought about it since the eldest brother left." ”

What is this called, there is a huge Shen family, all men and men are wandering outside, and those who stay are a group of female generals.

Of course, his father Shen Chong is the entire backbone of the Shen family, and with him, no matter who leaves, it can be.
