In the study, Song Zixi calmly rummaged the silver filigree carbon in the brazier with a fire chopstick, and the red firelight reflected his fair and handsome face, but it looked more and more cold.

The delicate handwriting on the paper quickly turned to ashes in the flames......

There was a sound of greeting from outside the house, and soon Changshun walked in from outside, "Master, the second young lady is here." ”

Song Zixi put down the fire flute and wiped his hands with a handkerchief, "Please let her in." ”

Changshun hurriedly responded and went out to invite Shen Shuyan in.

She is more than four months pregnant, but she has not yet conceived, and her body is still as light and slender as usual. Song Zixi took the food box in her hand and put it on the table, and helped her untie her cloak with her own hands, "It's freezing outside, and you are pregnant again...... Why didn't you stay in the house obediently, why did you come to me? As he spoke, he held her hand and helped her keep warm.

Shen Shuyan smiled, "Sister Ying was carried to play with Sister Guan...... The concubine is idle, and it happens that the kitchen made lily partridge soup today, and the concubine tastes good, so I sent you some. As he was talking, he suddenly felt a little cold on his body, looked around, and couldn't help but wonder, "On such a cold day, why is the window still open?" ”

Song Zixi smiled lightly, "I've been in the house for a long time, and I'm a little dizzy, so I opened the window to refresh myself." If you don't mention it, I've forgotten about it......" and went over to close the window.

Shen Shuyan hurriedly grabbed him, "If that's it, let's open it...... The concubine is just afraid that you will feel cold. ”

"You." Song Zixi doted on her nose, "I'm not cold, aren't you cold either?" What else can be seen with his husband. After that, he walked over and closed the window, lit another stove of agarwood, and said with a smile, "Look, it's the same." ”

Shen Shuyan pursed her lips embarrassedly and smiled, "Thank you...... then opened the food box, filled a bowl of lily and partridge soup and handed it to him, "Drink it while it's hot...... If it's cold, it won't taste good. ”

Song Zixi took it and took a sip, "You don't either?" ”

"The concubine came after eating...... Is it delicious? ”

Song Zixi smiled and nodded, "It's delicious." "Just eat it slowly.

Shen Shuyan looked at him with a smile, "If you like it, the concubine can often come to give you ...... in the future" She sighed lightly, not without melancholy, "It's just that you are too busy, and you can't even finish the New Year." ”

Song Zixi held the hand of the soup spoon for a moment.

He has no talent in reading, and he has a vacant position in the Ministry of Officials with his father's face, and now he helps the Guogong Mansion take care of the shops and some fields.

Song Zixi slowly stirred the soup, and Yun Qingfeng smiled lightly, "I'm not as good as my eldest brother, I've been smart since I was a child, and I can do everything at all...... You can only make up for the lack of attendance. Although he was smiling, there was a bit of loneliness between his eyebrows.

Shen Shuyan looked at him quietly for a while, got up and walked to Song Zixi's side, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his neck, "No matter what others think...... You will always be the best for concubines and children. ”

Song Zixi put down the bowl and patted his wife's hand with a smile, "...... I just felt it for a moment. He pulled Shen Shuyan into his arms and sighed lightly, "Sugarcane is not as sweet as two ends...... Although the eldest brother has been outstanding since he was a child and has high expectations from the elders, it is precisely because of this that many times he can't be his own master in many things......"

Shen Shuyan pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "You mean ......" Wenbi Zhai

Song Zixi stroked her slightly bulging lower abdomen, and smiled in response, "You say, will this be a sweet and soft girl like Sister Ying, or a naughty boy?" ”

When it comes to the child in her belly, Shen Shuyan's heart is so soft that she can't do it. She leaned on Song Zixi's arms and smiled softly, "The concubine wants to give birth to a son for you......" Her mentality is completely different from when she was pregnant with Sister Ying three years ago, especially seeing Song Zixun being forced to take a concubine by the elders because she has no children for many years......

"You don't have to worry too much." Song Zixi seemed to see through her thoughts, and said softly, "We are not the eldest grandson and eldest granddaughter-in-law, and we don't have as much pressure as the eldest brother...... Even if you don't have a son for a while, you're not afraid of anything," he quipped as he hugged her, "it's a big deal to continue to give birth in the future." ”

Shen Shuyan glared at him with a red face, but she didn't feel relieved in her heart.

I heard Song Zixi continue, "There's nothing wrong with being a girl...... Sister Ying'er is so lonely alone, you haven't seen how happy she is with Guan'er these days! It's also nice for two girls to be each other's company. ”

Shen Shuyan nodded, her previous worries had disappeared in Song Zixi's explanation, and she smiled thoughtfully, "Guan'er is indeed a good sister, although she is only two years older than Sister Ying'er, she is already very good at taking care of people, and she usually thinks about her when there is anything delicious and fun...... Like a little adult. When our sister Ying grows up, it would be nice to be as sensible as her. ”

Song Zixi's eyes darkened, and he nodded and smiled, "It will definitely be." He paused, "Sister Ying is too shy, she should learn more from her cousin." ”

Shen Shuyan couldn't help laughing, "Isn't it?" I don't know who that little girl is with, her mouth is so sweet...... Usually her father is a person who doesn't smile, and she also makes her smile. ”

Song Zixi smiled happily, "Maybe it's like a sister-in-law...... Big brother wasn't a talkative person when he was a child. ”

"It should be." Shen Shuyan nodded, thought about it, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "In the past, when the concubine didn't enter the door, every time I saw the eldest brother, I always felt that he had a cold face, as if it was difficult to get close. But he didn't want to face his wife and daughter, but he completely changed as a person. She didn't know what she remembered, sighed softly, and said in a low voice, "The eldest brother and sister-in-law are very affectionate, and grandmother is indeed ...... It's harder for the strongman. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Song Zixi say coldly, "The arrangement of the elders, how can you and I discuss." ”

Shen Shuyan was shocked and lost her words, and suddenly her face turned red with shame, "It's the concubine who has overstepped ......."

"I'm not blaming you." Song Zixi waved his hand, "It's just that these words are just said in private...... Especially when the eldest sister is here tomorrow, don't show a little bit of such a meaning...... Otherwise, it will be another game of right and wrong. ”

"The concubine understands." Shen Shuyan whispered, "The eldest sister will come back tomorrow, is it still for the girl of the You family to enter the door?" ”

"Not really." Song Zixi said lightly, "The eldest sister has always treated the eldest brother differently from our brothers, and she came back to see him and Sister Guan." Seeing that his wife pursed her lips and was silent, he hugged her again and said softly, "As the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter, the eldest sister used to talk at home...... Sometimes the words are not good, and I will treat her to pay you a lot. I hope you will bear more. ”

I think of that sharp and difficult eldest sister who loves to preach......

Shen Shuyan sighed in her heart, raised her head and smiled softly at Song Zixi, "Don't worry, you can save your concubine." I will listen to the teachings of the eldest sister well. ”
