Chapter 340: Reunion
At this point, the group finally settled down, Li Qian was able to meet her uncle again, and she was able to reunite with her younger brother.
Before, Shen Changzhen arrived in Beichuan Mansion first with Lu Dou.
It stands to reason that in order to prevent the vassal king from gaining power, there should be an appropriate distance between the soldiers and the vassal king, but since Li Qi has made it clear in the court, he doesn't care about that much, and takes a step back and says, even if he wants to avoid suspicion, there is no way to avoid it.
Because he had no place to live.
This is a very real problem, even if someone thought that King Qi would become a vassal before, they would not have thought that he would come to Beichuan, after all, a place like Beichuan had never even been a county king. Therefore, Beichuan Mansion did not even have a few places that were assigned to the fiefdom of King Qi that could be used as palaces.
There are a lot of hard indicators for the mansion of the vassal king, and no one in the local area will build a big house and wait, which is beyond the system.
In this way, you can't ask the king of Qi to camp and live like the marching army, right?
Zhou Lie happily gave a picture to Li Xuan, and said: "Your uncle went to visit, and he will come back in two days, this is a few suitable places for us to open your teeth and build a mansion, you take it back and look at it slowly, and ask your nephew and daughter-in-law what you like, the little girl ran with you all the way with a belly, but it is really not easy." ”
Li Qian nodded: "Uncle, don't worry." ”
"Well, Yin Changshi has escorted his sister's bones back before, since she is unwilling to enter the imperial mausoleum, as soon as your uncle comes back, you will follow us to the ancestral tomb of the Zhou family, and also set up a monument for your mother."
"Okay." Li Xuan agreed.
…………
That night, Mrs. Zhou's Bao family held a banquet for Li Qian and his party to pick up the wind and wash the dust.
Shen Qiutan followed Li Qi's obedient visit to his eldest uncle, but the Bao family didn't dare to accept it, so he only pulled a son and three daughters to see Shen Qiutan and Li Qian again.
Before the banquet began, Lidou called Bai Zhi to send a message early, Bao originally had two sons and a daughter, and then the eldest son who had high hopes died unexpectedly, and Bao transferred his love to the second son, but this time he was born a little stupid, or a little stupid. As for the three daughters, except for the youngest who was born to the Bao family, the other two were the adopted daughters of Zhou's uncle Zhou Tao, and they were the daughters of his dead comrades.
And Zhou's uncle Zhou Lie has a room in the house, but he is unwilling to marry another wife, and he only has a son under his knees, which is from the original Zhuang family.
Shen Qiutan has a spectrum in his heart, and he seems to be able to deal with it easily.
Although it is a family banquet, there is also an order of the young and the old, but Shen Qiutan and Li Qi are sitting on the top.
First the monarch and the minister, and then the elder and youngest.
Bao's youngest daughter looked at Shen Qiutan and said enviously: "The princess's cousin is really good-looking, better than all the sisters in the city!" ”
Zhou Lu is eight years old, the same age as Shen Changzhen, she is cute and cute, and she speaks innocently.
Shen Qiutan smiled politely, and did not come up to show excessive affection, because Zhou Lu's two sisters, who had put a lot of effort into dressing up at a glance, changed their faces on the spot after listening to Zhou Lu's words.
said that Princess Qi was better looking than all the people in the city, wouldn't she be counted together with the two of them.
You must know that before that, they were all the best among the Beichuan girls.
Bai Yutong, who was wearing a moon-white skirt, thought that her face was well concealed, but she didn't know that Shen Qiutan was also a person who had experienced house fights and palace banquets, so she couldn't see it, and as for the other person named Su Xueying, she didn't know how to restrain her expression.
However, Shen Changzhen heard Zhou Lu praise his sister, and his heart also became happy.
Bao looked very loving, and didn't seem to see this eyebrow lawsuit, but only warmly greeted everyone to eat.
The banquet quickly dispersed, and seeing Li Qian personally supporting Shen Qiutan back to the room, Su Xueying couldn't see anything on her face, but Bai Yutong was slightly distracted.
Zhou Lie was drunk and didn't know anything about Bai Yutong's weirdness, but Bao had a plan in his heart.
No one knows better than her that her husband and brother-in-law attach importance to King Qi, and King Qi seems to love his princess very much, so it is not easy for Yutong to do it.
…………
The two black heads gathered together and chattered, it was Li Qi and Shen Qiutan discussing the address of the Xuanjian Mansion.
Choosing and choosing, Shen Qiutan asked: "Although Beichuan is vast and sparsely populated, but there are few resources, if we build a mansion according to the prince's pomp and circumstance, I am afraid that we will have to use a lot of people's power, and besides, I will be born at the beginning of next year, even if it is too late to build it now, there will be no other suitable house?" "I feel like I'm still living on my own.
Li Qian shook his head: "It's not like the capital, there are many houses to choose from, and you can expand it even if it's not good; Moreover, it is not a long-term solution for us to live with our uncle and aunt now, and we always have to build a new mansion. But what Qiu Tan said is also right, if we use the people's power excessively, we might as well build a smaller house. While it's not freezing yet, you can lay a foundation first. ”
Shen Qiutan nodded busily, of course the uncles are close, but there is no saying that it is far fragrant and smelly, these people in the Zhou family are not the original Shen family, it is not that they can get rid of it, if they can get along well, they will naturally have to be polite.
"The law fight came early, he chose a house in advance, it is a little small, if it is enough to live with you and me, and it is close to his uncle's house." Li Qi said, but it was still taking care of it.
"That couldn't be better."
…………
Another day passed, Zhou Tao came back in the dust, and he was very happy to see Li Xuan. met Shen Qiutan and gave a meeting gift.
Shen Qiutan took the opportunity to look at Uncle Zhou, he was born differently from his uncle, he had a long face, his face was not white, and he knew at a glance that he was not sitting in the house and not going out.
Knowing that the reason why he only came back today was because he personally inquired about the patrol deployment, Shen Qiutan felt a sense of respect in his heart.
After that, she did not continue to participate in the men's topic, but heard that Li Qian followed the two uncles up the mountain to bury the bones of her mother.
…………
In the days to come, Li Qian was not in a hurry to move out, if he had to move out as soon as he came, he was afraid that it would hurt the hearts of the two uncles.
The weather is getting colder and colder, Shen Qiutan's belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and it looks like a blowing ball from the side.
The people who were waiting became more and more cautious, but Shen Qiutan vaguely remembered some knowledge in his previous life, and he still had to move, as long as it was not a lifeless movement, it was conducive to production, and Mama Xu also suggested that Shen Qiutan go to the garden for half an hour every day, so Shen Qiutan's life was very regular.
The snow in Beichuan fell early, and a layer of snow fell on the ground, Shen Qiutan wore non-slip shoes of his own design and walked slowly.
Bai Yutong greeted him from the opposite side: "I've seen the princess." ”
Shen Qiutan nodded: "Sister Bai is polite." Speaking of which, she has always been curious, Bai Yutong is twenty years old, one year older than herself, which is an extremely special existence in the current social background, so Shen Qiutan has always been a little curious about Bai Yutong.
Could it be that she is also like Gao Jing, and she is an unmarried?
But as soon as Bai Yutong spoke, Shen Qiutan knew that he was wrong.
