Jiangxia City, the small courtyard of the Shen family.

Just like when Shen Tuantuan left, the Shen family's small courtyard was still like this.

In the courtyard, Aunt Wang moved a small stool and sat in front of Shen Changzhi, regardless of whether Shen Changzhi had a cold temperament, "Changzhi, what did Tuan Tuan say in this letter?" ”

For many years, the Shen family is no longer the poor family they were at the beginning, and the recipes for dried tofu that they relied on for survival have been handed over to the villagers. Although I don't make a lot of money, I always make up for an entry.

Shen Changzhi also followed Xiao Lao to learn painting, and often followed Xiao Lao out to study and learn art, but because of the Shen family's actions, even if Shen Changzhi was not at home, the village also took good care of the Shen family.

Shen Changzhi is also a little accomplished now, and he has studied with Xiao Lao for many years, and his paintings have long been different from what they used to be.

It's only been nearly a year, because Xiao Lao is old, and Shen Changzhi has not gone out much, and this time Shen Tuantuan's letter is because Shen Changzhi sent a letter to the capital a month ago. "It's nothing, it's just that the group buys a yard, this is a letter of approval."

Along with the letter was a deed.

Jiang Xinian was carrying his youngest son out, and heard Shen Changzhi's words, "Yard? Why did you buy a yard again? Wouldn't it be nice for our family to live here? Over the years, Jiang Xinian has long been accustomed to living in the village, the people in the village are friendly, and Jiang Xinian has become more and more comfortable living in the village.

The Jiang family has not been appearing, and it is also that a runaway girl who has married and given birth to a child is of no use to the Jiang family!

Shen Changzhi took his youngest son from Jiang Xinian's arms, put his youngest son on the ground, "What do you do all day long, let him go by himself." After speaking, he slapped his youngest son's buttocks heavily, and the youngest son only dared to pout and not cry.

Shen Changzhi and his wife are in love, although Shen Changzhi spends most of the year outside, but he has also given birth to two sons in recent years.

Jiang Xinian knew that Shen Changzhi was strict with his son, and he didn't help to speak, lest his son would be cleaned up by Shen Changzhi again. "Haven't you talked about the yard just now?"

Shen Yihuo couldn't find comfort from his father, so he pouted and threw himself towards Aunt Wang, "Granny Wang-"

"Huo Er, mother-in-law hug." After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she secretly pointed in the direction of Shen Changzhi, "You can't cry, your father can't see a man crying."

Shen Yihuo sniffed, well, he didn't cry, but his butt hurt so much!

Shen Changzhi directly gave the letter to Jiang Xinian and asked him to read it for himself, and when Jiang Xinian swept it through, he couldn't believe it, and read it word by word, Shen Changzhi had already explained it to Aunt Wang. "Tuan Tuan didn't say anything, but earlier I asked Tuan Tuan to keep an eye on the yard for me, no, the yard has fallen, and after the New Year, let's go to the capital too."

Aunt Wang was stunned, "Go to the capital?" Shall we all go? Are we all moving to the capital? ”

Shen Changzhi had a smile on his face, For so many years, he has only been to the capital once because of his study tour, and he has only seen Tuan Tuan once!

"Well, Aunt Wang, look, this is the deed."

Even if Aunt Wang was illiterate, she still took the title deed and reached out to touch it, "The courtyard of the capital should be precious, right?" Otherwise, let's not go, right? It's good here, too. ”

"Aunt Wang doesn't want to be reunited?" Shen Changzhi smiled kindly, looking at Aunt Wang's face and thinking and entangled.

Aunt Wang sighed, "Yes, why don't you want to, I think about it in my dreams!" A few days earlier, I dreamed of Tuan Tuan again, still like a little lady, and dreamed of Tuan Tuan's twins, Chu'er and Jin'er, and wanted to see the faces of the twins, so I woke up from the dream, alas......"

"When I go to the capital in the future, Aunt Wang can see it if she wants to. Others, don't worry about it, these days, we should say goodbye, and in the future, we will rarely come back. "Shen Changzhi is no longer the kid who was trapped in this corner of Jiangxia City, he has been away for so many years, he also knows Tuan Tuan's difficulties, as General Mu's nephew and daughter-in-law, he can't go out of Beijing easily.

Since they can't leave Beijing, then they all move to the capital.

After Shen Changzhi finished explaining, he went to the second uncle's courtyard.

Shen Xiao was in the courtyard, connected to Shen Tuantuan's letters, as well as the silver money brought by Shen Xiao's two sons. Since the Shen Changgui brothers sent Shen Tuantuan to the capital that year, they have stayed in the capital to help Shen Tuantuan do things, and over the years, they have also married their own children in Beijing.

Over the years, he also said that he wanted to take Shen Xiao to the capital, but Shen Xiao refused.

Today, Shen Changzhi was entrusted by Shen Changgui to persuade Shen Xiao.

"Second uncle, are you busy?"

"I'm not busy, I'm not busy, it's just that the Changgui brothers have brought clothes and silver again, I'll try to fit it or not." Shen Xiao smiled and welcomed Shen Changzhi into the door.

Since that incident and the resignation of the Liu family, Shen Xiao has always lived alone, even if his son is filial and filial, Shen Xiao is now eating and drinking, and he is still the same as Shen Zhong, he has to go to the fields to work every day, saying that he loosens his muscles and bones.

"Second uncle, after the New Year, let's go to the capital together."

Shen Xiao's hand shaking as he poured the tea, "All gone?" Not coming back in the future? ”

"Well, not coming back. My master's health is not very good, it is more convenient to go to the capital, Grandpa Ning's medical skills are exquisite, and Master's illness still depends on their medicine. Shen Xiao did not mention the identity of Xiao Lao.

Shen Xiao was in a trance for a while, and replied in a trance, "Oh, you are all gone, then I don't have the energy to stay here alone, then I will go to the capital with you......"

Shen Changzhi could hear that Shen Xiao was absent-minded, and left after saying a few words.

Shen Xiao sat alone in the room for a long time, and the water in the teacup was already cool, for a long time, for a long time.

That night, Shen Xiao was alone in the house with things, over the years, Shen Xiao had eaten with his eldest brother's family most of the time, and he was used to eating, and the two sons had saved up all these years. In such a way, I actually bought a lot of land.

Early the next morning, Shen Xiao left the village and walked out of the village alone.

Shen Changzhi heard the people in the village say that he watched Shen Xiao go out of the village, and Shen Changzhi knew in his heart what Shen Xiao was doing.

Now that he has a son, Shen Changzhi understands that Shen Xiao is not at ease with Shen Wan. Even if Shen Xiao severed his relationship with Shen Wan at the beginning, he knew that this person was here in the end! Now that he is leaving Jiangxia City, Shen Xiao is naturally not at ease with Shen Wan.

Shen Xiao walked to Jiangxia City on foot, and walked around Jiangxia City, still undeciding whether he should go to Luo's house.

When he thought of the Luo family, Shen Xiao only felt faceless.

For so many years, Shen Xiao has passed through the gate of Luofu, but he can't get into his legs!

As soon as Shen Xiao thought that Shen Wan was a concubine in Luofu, and he was not a serious relative, Shen Xiao felt as if there was iron under his feet, and he couldn't take a step.

Shen Xiao carried a snack, stood at the gate of Luofu, exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, turned around and left suddenly, and walked a few steps, but when he thought of what Shen Changzhi said, he was going to leave Jiangxia City, maybe it would be impossible to meet again in the future, Shen Xiao lowered his head and turned back.

Strode to the gate, slammed the brass ring, and the door opened.

The porter looked at Shen Xiao who was carrying a snack box, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Shen Xiao wanted to say that he was looking for Shen Wan, but when the words came to his lips, he changed again. "I'm looking for Luo Xiangzhi."

"Who are you, what's the matter with looking for the eldest young master!"

Shen Xiao had long imagined such an answer, but in the end he didn't want to say that it was Luo Xiangzhi's concubine's mother's family, so he only said stiffly: "I am the Shen family." ”

The porter only felt that this person was inexplicable, just looked at the copper plate that Shen Xiao stuffed over, and said angrily: "You wait, the eldest young master can't see you, I can't guarantee it." With that, he closed the door again.

Shen Xiao kept stiffening and stood still.

He didn't know how long he had waited, but he felt that he had never waited that long in his life for the closed door to open.

Luo Xiangzhi was in the upper room, and heard the scholar next to him say that the Shen family asked to see him, and the ancestor was dissatisfied with the scholar's disturbance. "What Shen family, I see that the people around you are becoming more and more unruly, and this cat and dog have to come to report! You can't be the one who is causing trouble out there again, right? ”

Luo Xiangzhi clenched his fists in embarrassment and coughed, "Grandmother, my grandson has already changed, and now I am dedicated to learning skills from the third uncle." ”

The old ancestor of the Luo family smiled again, "Looking at my grandmother's memory, why did I forget that we Xiangzhi are already adults!" But who is this Shen family? What do you want to do? ”

The scholar stood aside cautiously and reminded, "Big young master, will it be Aunt Shen's maiden family?" ”

A gleam appeared in Luo Xiangzhi's eyes, "Go, invite someone in!" No, I'll go and ask for it personally! ”

The ancestor of the Luo family stopped him dissatisfiedly, "A concubine's family is also worthy of letting you invite you personally?" When did the gate of our Luo Mansion get in so well? Playing the autumn breeze is worth your personal invitation? ”

Luo Xiangzhi was not annoyed, "Grandmother, you don't know anything." When I accepted Wan'er, the Shen family was not yet prosperous, otherwise I would have relied on someone like me, that is, if I wanted to marry the Shen family, I am afraid that the Shen family would not be able to respond. The Shen family has two rooms, only two daughters, one is now in the capital as General Mu's nephew and daughter-in-law, her daughter was given the county lord by the saint as soon as she was born, and rewarded 1,000 acres of land. Or if I took advantage of the Shen family's distress and forcibly accepted people, I'm afraid it won't have anything to do with the Shen family. Rao is like this, the Shen family has not been willing to treat me as a relative all these years. ”

The ancestor of the Luo family had also heard of the eldest grandson's concubine, but he didn't know these inside information. "The Shen family is really developed?"

"Well, the two brothers of the Shen family are now in Beijing, I'm afraid they are really developed." Luo Xiangzhi regretted a little, if the relationship with the Shen family was not so stiff at the beginning, maybe he would have sat on the position of the head of the Luo family.

The ancestor of the Luo family also helped his husband take care of the outside business in the early years, and hurriedly urged Luo Xiangzhi to hurry up to greet people. "Then what are you still doing sitting here with me, hurry up and welcome the Shen family."

"Outsiders are not as important as grandmothers." Under the urging of the ancestors, Luo Xiangzhi went out, and as soon as he got out of the courtyard, he led the scholar all the way.

When the door opened, he saw Shen Xiao standing outside the door.

Luo Xiangzhi didn't even breathe, but he didn't expect Shen Xiao to come in person.

"Father-in-law, son-in-law has kept you waiting for a long time......"
