The courtyard is far away, and the candles are lonely.

Shen Gui stood at the door of the main house for a while, looking at the figures of Yan and his youngest son reflected on the window, looking both familiar and unfamiliar, and inexplicably had a sense of trance of time flying.

This youngest son was not born to wormwood, let alone the Yan family, but from the Zhu family, an aunt selected by Princess Ping for Shen Gui.

Zhu was originally a palace person in the imperial city, the palace was cut off manpower, Princess Ping happened to see a group of palace people out of the palace with a burden that day, Zhu was also outstanding in appearance, but he didn't like to talk, there was no dignity in front of the master, and there was no extra silver to dredge up and down, so he was withdrawn from the palace, but it fell into the eyes of Princess Ping, and asked her to come to the house to serve Shen Gui.

Zhu's appearance is beautiful, he speaks softly, Shen Gui only rests in her room for a long time, and when he is upset, he will lose his temper at her, occasionally excessively, unreasonable, Zhu is only silent, but he doesn't pay attention to Shen Gui, and when he sleeps, he also turns his back to him, Shen Gui coaxes her, coaxing a little fun.

There is also a little toughness in the soft grass stems, which makes Shen Gui feel a little familiar that he dare not recall.

Wormwood and Zhu's second children were daughters, so Shen Gui let them stay by his side to raise them. Yan has no words, has a son and a daughter, and has the dignity of being a wife, for her, it seems to be enough.

Ah Yuan came back from supper, saw Shen Gui standing at the door, and hurriedly saluted and invited him to sit in.

"No need, I asked Madame to sort out my brother's house before, why is Madame so procrastinating?"

Shen Gui also lived at this age, and his son naturally followed this example, and the Yan family was reluctant or reluctant, which was unbearable for her.

"I've packed it up, and I'm going to move it soon." Ah Yuan knew that he was not satisfied, and hurriedly said.

"No day?" Shen Gui said unhappily: "I'll move tomorrow!" ”

Ah Yuan hurriedly responded, Yan heard the sound outside the door, and when he came out, he only saw Shen Gui's back.

The boy in the house shouted expectantly, "Mother, is it Daddy?" ”

Yan said 'um', looked at Ah Yuan and asked, "Are you going to Aunt Zhu again?" ”

Ah Yuan has served the Yan family for many years, knowing what she is thinking, and involuntarily argues for Shen Gui: "Although the master favors Aunt Zhu, he is not a person who does not miss the old love, and every time he brings something to his sister from outside, it is always in triplicate, and no one is left behind." Aunt Ai also goes to sit there every once in a while, but in our house, if you don't come to see my brother, I'm afraid of ......"

Ah Yuan said worriedly, "Madam, I want my brother to move to the West House tomorrow, it is close to my master's study, and I can see it from time to time, and there are even fewer of them." ”

Yan's face was in the shadow of the eaves, and no one could see her expression. A-Yuan's heart has been borne for so many years, but it is still useless.

A few years ago, Yan was very uncomfortable with the Chu River Han realm between herself and Shen Gui, she felt that Shen Gui's character was misbehaving, and his behavior was a little vulgar, which was not speculative and incompatible with her.

But that time it was difficult for Zhu to give birth to a daughter, he brought the imperial doctor back, regardless of the big trouble between men and women, and brought the imperial doctor into the delivery room for Zhu's diagnosis and treatment, Zhu's only then stopped the bleeding, and the mother and daughter were safe, but their bodies were a little depleted, and they had to recuperate for years.

Later, Yan learned that Shen Gui asked the imperial doctor to leave a contraceptive prescription that did not damage his body, and if he had sex with Zhu, the maids in Zhu's room would go to decoction on the second day, which was difficult for men in the world to do.

In fact, Yan couldn't see how much Shen Gui loved Zhu, but he suddenly realized that this man had his own shining place, but as soon as she was wrong, she missed so many years.

Yan stood in the cold wind at the door for a while, suddenly turned around and entered, the boy saw that she was the only one, and said in a disappointed voice: "Where's Dad?" ”

Yan Shi paused, pretended to be calm and said, "You will move to Westinghouse tomorrow, are you still worried that you won't see your father?" ”

"Really?" The boy's eyes lit up. Yan endured the sourness in his heart and nodded, coaxing the boy to rest.

A boy at this age is always looking forward to being close to his father. Shen Gui is indeed a good father, always lenient and strict with his children, and quite patient.

Yan Shi saw it in his eyes and gradually recognized the good side of this man, but unfortunately, it seemed to be a little late.

The bed was spacious, the silk quilt was as soft as a cloud, and it felt a little cold in the autumn night, Yan didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't fall asleep after spending half an hour, and he didn't bother to call someone, so he turned over and pinched the corner of the quilt, thinking that he would ask Ah Yuan to burn a charcoal basin tomorrow.

Shen Gui didn't have a good night's sleep today, leaning on the head of the bed and pondering.

"What are you thinking?" Zhu Shi looked at him sideways, his eyes full of tenderness.

Zhu's appearance is good, but it's a pity that his hair is too yellow and soft. 'The hairpin is on the clouds. The eye waves rolled the eyebrows far away. This poem is in Shen Gui's heart, and it can only be said by another person, who is on the other side of the world at this time.

"Business." Shen Gui didn't lie to her, if Zhu Shi was thinking about another person in his heart when he asked this sentence, then Shen Gui would not answer this question, but would only say, "Sleep." ”

But today, Shen Gui is really thinking about business.

I don't know if Zhu Shi understood the difference between these two answers, after listening to Shen Gui's words, she seemed to be a little relieved, stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around Shen Gui's waist, and fell asleep with peace of mind.

Shen Gui glanced at Zhu, she slept sweetly, and her sleeping face was calm, which made Shen Gui seem to have a sweet dream.

Looking away from Zhu's body, Shen Gui let out a long breath of turbidity, he really didn't like the new errand given to him by the emperor. To rob a little girl is really despicable and dirty. And this errand is not simple, this little girl is Shen Baiyan's eldest daughter after all.

Shen Baiyan has been in the southwest for several years, not only has he not been suppressed by the Wu forces, but the two sides have been friendly with each other, and the southwest has revitalized him, he is really a capable person who governs the world, Shen Gui thought in his heart, such a talented background, the position of emperor is also matched.

Others are in the southwest, and there is no shortage of forces in Beijing, and Shen Ze is very jealous.

The eldest grandson of the Lin Mansion originally ordered the Cui family's sister, the Cui family is Shen Ze's foreign family, this marriage was originally instructed by him, and the Cui family was also very satisfied, but later I don't know what to think, Shen Ze actually ordered the Zeng family when he gave the marriage.

The Zeng family is the same as the Guogong Mansion, the first emperor was in the scenery, and now it is not as good as before, but there is a little better, the head of the Zeng family is in the prime of life, and now he can support the court, and the Zeng family is related to the Song family, leaving an eldest grandson, who is the concubine and nephew of the princess Song Zhi.

But the princess's eldest sister-in-law has passed away, and I heard that my brother has remarried, compared with the Lin Mansion in all aspects, the Zeng family's sister is really married.

Shen Gui knew that Shen Ze originally planned to entrap the Lin Mansion, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that the Cui family would let the Lin Mansion go, wouldn't it be impossible to steal chickens and rice?

After all, the biological mothers of Shen Baiyan and Shen Ze are sisters of the Cui family. For the Cui family, which one is not bloodline?

Marriage, to put it bluntly, has always been a means for the powerful to consolidate each other's status, and the grandsons of the Lin Mansion are outstanding, and they have a lonely wife, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are holding back.

However, Shen Gui heard that the two got along with each other after marriage, and the brother of Lin Mansion had a good character, and he did not look down on his wife's background, and he also took his wife and brother to Lin Mansion to be taught.

A few years later, his wife and brother went to high school, and the Zeng family had a head of the family, and the Song family never forgot the past days.

Shen Gui's headache at this time is the errand, this errand will not work, but I am afraid that if it is done, Shen Gui's own life is estimated to be hanging.

Shen Gui knew best how many Shen Baiyan's eyes and ears were in this capital, and he borrowed them a few times when he was on an errand, and Wu Zhi seemed to know this, and once Shen Gui saw that the other party was quite familiar with greeting him.

The two of them tacitly knew that they had never talked about this issue, and it would be good if they could discuss it with Wu Zhi, but Shen Ze only sent him this matter alone, thinking that he didn't want Wu Zhi to know.

Shen Baiyan's baby girl is called Shen Shuangbei, born in the capital, grew up in the west, and has lived a better life than a princess since she was a child. This time, she came out of the southwest and wanted to go to the north with her father's men to have a look, and she was also a surprisingly bold girl.

Shen Gui couldn't make up his mind, so he reluctantly lay down and forced himself to sleep, and it took a long time before he fell asleep.

When the sound of his breathing became long and even, Zhu Shi opened his eyes in the quiet night.

Her eyes were complex, with both genuine tenderness and cold vigilance.

Shen Gui's face was very blurry, but she still looked carefully, and little by little she used her eyes to trace the undulating lines on his face, and after a while, Zhu sighed almost inaudibly, like a dream.

Pillow dreams, everyone is different, when I woke up, Zhu was still the gentle and careless woman, carefully taking care of Shen Gui's clothes.

Ah Yuan came to pass the word very rarely at this time, saying that the Yan family wanted to invite Shen Gui to have breakfast with his brother.

Yan has snubbed him for many years, Shen Gui never thought that she was doing a pet in the name of a child, and it was rare to hear her make such a request, so she simply agreed.

"Madame, didn't she change her mind?" After all, a woman is a woman, and Zhu's maidservant thought about it one more layer.

Zhu picked up a piece of silk left by Shen Gui on the mattress, and said that he was not allowed to arrange his wife, but he thought in his heart, 'My nature is difficult to change, how can it be so easy to please my lord now?' ’

As soon as Zhu's jealous thoughts came out, she panicked in her heart, she already knew that she had affection for Shen Gui, who was a human being, and there was a fresh heart beating in her chest.

Shen Gui had breakfast at Yan's place, although most of the words were to his son, but when they met, Yan spoke to him well, how could he treat her inexplicably?

"Do your homework," Shen Gui said to his son.

As he spoke, he remembered that one day when he went to look for Wu Punishment, he saw that Jiang Sheng had played a set of sword moves, pinched his son's thin shoulder, and said, "I have time to teach you some fist and foot kung fu." ”

The son was happy, but Yan was a little hesitant, but she didn't say anything, but just said to Shen Gui: "Come back early when you're done, I'll let the kitchen set up the meal." ”

Shen Gui subconsciously responded first, and then felt that these words were said from Yan's mouth, which was a bit rare.
