The dinner in the Hou Mansion has always been light, but tonight He Yan finally came back, and naturally the big fish and meat were put on the table.

Hearing that Shen Shu was also here, the eldest lady had to go to the dining room to cook a few more dishes, but Shen Shu stopped her because she was so talkative.

"Come on, little prince, I salute you!" Shi Yuan gathered the jade cup full of wine in his hand, got up and said to Shen Shu.

Shen Shu immediately stood up with the wine glass, and said: "It's okay for you to come according to the rules in the court, but don't use the word 'respect' in the court, you are my future father-in-law, and I should honor you with this glass of wine." ”

Hearing this, Shi Yuan and the eldest lady couldn't keep their mouths together, a glass of wine was down, and the eldest lady kindly sandwiched a large piece of meat between the three children of Shen Shu, He Yan and Shi Qingqi, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it has been five years since you and the eldest son were married, and the situation was unstable before, and I also understand that the little prince is for the sake of the world, but now that this troublesome matter has been solved, the marriage between the little prince and the younger prince is also ......."

"Huh...... Madam, look at you," Shi Yuan heard this, and quickly frowned and glanced at the eldest lady, "Now that the new king has just ascended the throne, although the little prince and the emperor are not the same mother, the brotherhood is so strong, and today's court is in need of people, how can anyone be in a hurry to get married!" ”

Shen Shu smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, the eldest lady doesn't have to worry, I have already put this marriage on the agenda, but Prime Minister Shi is right, in the current situation, if I am too anxious to get married, even if there are prime ministers and ministers in the court, it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of manpower." The matter of getting married is planned slowly, and she is also responsible for her. ”

Listening to one of them, but talking about their own marriage, Shi Qingqian's face turned red, especially when Shen Shu spoke, his left hand actually kept gently holding her hand under the table, making her only feel more shy, so she quickly lowered her head and pulled a few mouthfuls of food into her mouth.

"Our sons are really blessed people," He Yan watched from the sidelines, and unconsciously put on a kind smile like an old father, "This is loved by my sister and brother-in-law, and I don't need to say much about my brothers. ”

"General He, don't just talk about me!" When Shi Qingqian heard this, she finally caught the handle, so she didn't feel ashamed, she flicked her chopsticks, crossed her waist and said, "Has General He Xiao considered marrying Shi Nian?" Shi Nian has been waiting for General He for so long......"

After Shi Qingqian mentioned this, the eldest lady and Shi Yuan suddenly remembered this matter.

The eldest lady and He Yan's He family has no old people, both parents have already died of illness, and the other brothers and sisters are either married far away, or they are born to concubines, and there is not much contact between the two of them, so it can also be directly said that there is only one eldest lady and one He Yan left in the He family now.

It stands to reason that 'the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker', this marriage should be handled by the parents or the patriarch of the family, but now the situation of the He family, only the eldest lady and Shi Yuan, who are brothers-in-law, will help handle it.

Shi Yuan thought about it, and hurriedly nodded, "Yes, Ah Yan, you are twenty-six years old this year, and you are not too young, according to my brother-in-law, this matter should be handled quickly before the end of this year, so as not to worry about the Zuo family." ”

"Yes, Ah Yan, Miss Zuo is also the eldest daughter of the Zuo family, and the young ladies from their family all became relatives last year, and you are embarrassed to ask others to wait for you all the time?" The eldest lady complained, this He Yan was grown up by him, as the saying goes, the eldest sister is like a mother, how can she not be in a hurry to let her younger brother, who has no stability, marry a wife and start a family?

"Eldest sister...... Brother-in-law, I, I'm not guarding outside all the year round......" He Yan frowned helplessly, and said with a wry smile, "If you get married too early, if something happens to Miss Zuo's side, I won't be able to take care of it." ”

Why doesn't He Yan want to get married and have a family in a hurry? It's just that these soldiers who have been outside all the year round are often not at home for three or five years. In fact, in the final analysis, he is still afraid that Zuo Shinian will not be able to bear the loneliness, if he regrets it at that time, it is nothing for him to leave with her, but he is afraid that Zuo Shinian will not be able to find other good people in the future.

In short, He Yan was afraid that Zuo Shinian would regret it, and he was not in a hurry to get married, and he was also giving her a chance to regret it.

Hearing He Yan say this, Shen Shu felt more and more that the matter he wanted to propose to Shen Mi was more urgent.

He thought for a moment, and still said the matter, "Prime Minister Shi Cheng, Mo Ruan's henchmen have involved a lot of people in the army, so Chen Chen, Xu Wenmo, Li Yixian and others have all been investigated and punished and stripped of their official positions...... How about letting General He Xiao come back? ”

"Huh?" Shi Yuan was stunned.

There is indeed a need for talents in the court, and He Yan's ability is not small, plus he made a great contribution when he killed the rebel party this time, and it is absolutely reasonable to ask him to come back and be promoted to the rank of knight. It's just that as He Yan's brother-in-law, if he is openly recommended, it will still seem too favoritism.

"This ...... Little Prince, these words shouldn't have been said by me," Shi Yuan smiled, "But whether it's public or private, Ah Yan is worthy of it." ”

Several people nodded one after another, but He Yan was a little uncomfortable, "Little prince, brother-in-law, this matter ...... In the end, it is up to the emperor to decide, and now we don't have to think so much, anyway, I am willing. ”

"General He, don't worry," Shen Shu nodded at him, "Qi'er's home is my family affair, and your work has always been good, and you should have gotten it a long time ago if you became a knight." ”

Listening to them talk for so long, Shi Qingqian had already eaten with her head full, she had always been sleepy when she was full, Shen Shu saw the villain next to her yawning, so she had to end the topic in a hurry and ate two bites at random.

It was getting late, and Shen Shu and He Yan decided to leave together. Shi Qingqian naturally wanted to send Shen Shu to the door, and He Yan said very interestingly that he went to prepare the carriage first, leaving only two people.

"Shen Shu, my face has been scratched, don't you really dislike it?" As he walked, Shi Qingqian inadvertently touched the scar on the back of his hand, and remembered the wound on his cheek.

To be honest, no girl would want to have a scar on her face, although she looks free and easy, and she doesn't care, in fact, she still has some minds in her heart.

Shen Shu suddenly stopped, looked at her, and sighed slightly-
