Chapter Eighty-Six: Two Ways

Chen Shuang watched from the side. smiled quietly and said to He Jinbao: "Children should always look like this, it's cuter to look at." ”

"That old-fashioned look with a straight face, it's exactly the same as when you were a child, it's completely with you, He Jue don't look like this." He Jinbao patted his son and smiled at Chen Shuangjiang. It's just that He Jinbao rarely holds children, and his hands are not very measured, and he shoots a little heavier, He Jue immediately cried out loud, and he didn't coax him for a long time, so he could only hand it to Chen Shuangchuan stupidly.

Chen Shuangchuan didn't coax, only put He Jue on the blanket, he was already able to stagger a step or two, and when he was tired, he directly lay down on all fours and crawled around, and when Chen Shuangchuan stopped him, he was not annoyed, but grinned and giggled with his small front teeth.

was turning He Jue over and over, but when he heard He Ruyu's voice, which seemed to be talking to someone, Chen Shuangchuan screamed. Say, "Don't get too far away, beware of getting lost." ”

"Sister-in-law, can I invite someone to come over and play?" He Ruyu said and turned out from behind the pine tree, followed by a boy in a gorgeous dress and jade belt, who seemed to be a little embarrassed, nodded slightly, it was actually Sima Yi, the prince who had met in the palace last time.

He Jinbao and Chen Shuangchuan were taken aback, and quickly stood up and wanted to salute Sima Yi, but Sima Yi was busy waving his hand and said, "Don't be polite, don't let people see it." "It's just a half-salute before I've seen it.

I didn't expect Sima Yi to be here, even if the prince came out in micro-service, he would naturally not be really alone, but He Jinbao felt uneasy, so he asked Chen Shuang to greet him, he came out to say hello to Sima Yi's guards, and checked it nearby.

As a result, he turned around, not far from here, across a small pine forest, He Jinbao clearly saw the Jianing Emperor Sima Zixia Empress Tong, talking in a low voice like an ordinary couple.

He Jinbao was thinking about retreating, but Sima Zixia saw him one step earlier, and He Jinbao had no choice but to step forward and salute.

Sima Zixia and Queen Tong followed and moved over, and Chen Shuangchuan was naturally flustered again, and hurriedly let go. took He Ruyu and saluted together.

"You didn't have so much courtesy before, and your courage is getting smaller and smaller." Sitting down on the stone casually, Sima Zixia said a word to Chen Shuangchuan.

Chen Shuangchuan suddenly remembered a long time ago, when Sima Zixia led his troops to break into He's house, how frightened he was at that time, he didn't dare to eat, he didn't dare to sleep, the whole person was like hanging on the tip of a needle with a string, and he couldn't stop worrying, and now it seems really ridiculous to think about it.

Seeing that Sima Zixia slightly bent the corners of his lips and seemed to be thinking about the same thing, it seemed to be with some ridicule, Chen Shuangchuan was suddenly embarrassed, although he felt a little embarrassed, but after all, he was less nervous, and he was more comfortable to speak.

The adults are still a little restrained, but the children don't have so much thought, He Jue just happens to be at the age when he likes to crawl around, and Chen Shuangchuan doesn't detrain him much, just spread a small blanket on the ground so as not to hurt his hands and feet, so he let him climb casually.

Sima Yi followed He Ruyu and looked at He Jue, reaching out to touch his little hand from time to time. Pinching his little feet, fresh and playful, giggled.

However, He Ruyu's mind is not here, the He family is concentrating on planning to come out to play, when Chen Shuangchuan was at home, he also agreed, and baked rice cakes for He Ruyu to eat, when he fled, He Ruyu often ate such rice cakes, I used to think it was not very delicious, and I felt a little missed if I didn't eat it for a long time.

It's just that he ran into the emperor's family halfway, so naturally he couldn't do this thing, He Ruyu thought that Chen Shuangchuan had forgotten, and played with Sima Yi absentmindedly for a while, so he squirmed and rubbed to Chen Shuangchuan's side, and whispered: "Sister-in-law, I'm hungry, do we still bake rice cakes?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Chen Shuangchuan originally wanted He Ruyu to eat some dim sum pads, but Sima Yi heard it on the side, and asked curiously: "Baked rice cakes, why have I never eaten them?" ”

He Ruyu was still saying: "Sister-in-law said that you can't just invite you to eat, if you eat a bad stomach, you will blame me, and you will be beheaded." ”

He Ruyu's child didn't know the depth, so Chen Shuangchuan could only quickly send her to pick firewood, while confessing to Queen Tong.

Looking at Sima Yi, who followed He Ruyu to pick firewood, Queen Tong's face was not very good, she smiled bitterly, and said: "Looking at the appearance of being high above and the scenery is infinite, who would have thought that it would be a child who would suffer Yi'er, and he would not even have a partner who could speak." ”

This can only be said by Queen Tong. Just listening to it was a little heartbroken, Chen Shuangchuan could only bow his head and listen silently.

Although it was said that Sima Yi went to pick up firewood, but there were several of his guards, and he didn't dare to let the prince really do it, so he quickly picked up a lot of them back, neatly cleaned up a clean place, and lit a fire.

He Jinbao and Chen Shuangchuan went to the carriage to get food out, although there was no water source here, but fortunately, they were all prepared to be brought by the family, and Chen Shuangchuan was cooked, and it was not troublesome, and a few skewers were grilled very neatly.

With what he said just now, Chen Shuangchuan didn't dare to say that he wouldn't give it to anyone, so he only ate one bite himself, and then put the rest on the plate and let them take it themselves.

Sima Zixia was also unceremonious, and directly reached out and took a string, and took a bite directly, his guards stood a little farther away, and it was too late to stop it.

He Ruyu took two strings and handed them to Sima Yi, seeing that Chen Shuangchuan had no objections, he happily stuffed them into Sima Yi's hand. While still chattering, when there was nothing to eat before, Chen Shuang would roast this food, and he had a fight with others.

Sima Yi listened carefully and nodded, took a bite carefully, and praised in surprise: "It's delicious!" ”

"I added some spices, and when I fled, I didn't even have salt, but it was very light."

For Chen Shuangchuan, this New Year's Day is really tiring like never before, not only did he run into the emperor's family. was even more busy baking rice cakes all afternoon, when He Ruyu and Sima Yi got into trouble, the vegetables and meat slices were skewered and roasted, and they were burnt, and they were actually eaten with relish.

finally waited for him to return home, Chen Shuangchuan didn't even have the strength to coax He Jue, and fell on the bed.

He Jinbao also felt a little tired, moved his shoulders, but with a little smile: "The second son hasn't changed much, when he was fighting in the past, he was also a group of brothers who sat on the ground and ate ...... this big pot."

"You're happy, but I've been working all day by myself. Old Man Ruyu and Prince Yi are a little too close, is this good? "No mistakes, no skipping words.

"Then what can I do, tell the emperor, take care of your stinky boy and don't bother my girl?" He Jinbao was also a little helpless.

I also plan to rest at home for a few days, but I didn't expect that on the second day of the new year, the family came to pay New Year's greetings, which made Chen Shuangchuan feel very unhappy, in the countryside, usually the New Year's greetings start on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, only at home when there is a new mourner, will be in the second day of the new year.

It's just that the customs here in the capital are very different, and the New Year's greetings began on the first day of the new year, which made Chen Shuang belly slander, it was really a time at the beginning of the year that could make people feel at ease, unhappy and unhappy, the guests came home, and they couldn't be driven out, Chen Shuangchuan could only cheer up and entertain.

On the second day of junior high school, He Jinbao and Su Mu went to the Ministry of Industry for a trip, which was regarded as a start of work, and went to get together with people at noon, and at night it was others who gathered at his house, and He Jinbao felt annoyed by eating big fish and meat, so he quickly packed up his things, and set off back to the construction site early in the morning of the third day of junior high school.

The bunch of favors left behind were all left to Chen Shuangchuan, and the busy Chen Shuangchuan shuttled through the capital almost without touching his feet. I almost feel like I can't find the direction of my home.

It was not until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, according to the customs of the countryside, that the year was almost over, and Chen Shuangchuan remembered that there was still an important relative who had not visited, Master He and Mrs. He.

Do you want to go, after thinking about it for a long time, Chen Shuangchuan still thinks it's better not to go, even if he sees Mrs. He, he probably doesn't have good words, after all, the previous relationship was so stiff, it's better not to make a shame by yourself. The people didn't go casually, but Chen Shuangchuan still asked someone to prepare a generous gift, and let people send it over in the name of He Jinbao.

Finally free, found a quiet place to rest for a while, Liu Hua, who was waiting on the side, was serving a cup of tea, and was about to hand it to Chen Shuangchuan, when she suddenly asked with some hesitation: "Madam, is there someone over there?" ”

In a blink of an eye, Chen Shuangchuan seemed to have seen it, there was indeed a person passing by over there, and it was clear that he saw someone here, and he ran away without a trace, Liu Hua also muttered dissatisfiedly: "Where did you come from, so unruly?" ”

Chen Shuangchuan was a little stunned, there should be only one courtyard over there, Aunt Wang's small courtyard with green beads, and that person's clothes didn't look like they were from the He family, and he didn't know where they came from, thinking about the past, Aunt Wang also brought in Sima Ziheng, Chen Shuangchuan couldn't help but get annoyed, and she thought that this person had become honest.

The man moved very fast, and he couldn't catch up at all, Chen Shuangchuan asked Liu Hua to go to Liu Dashan to ask, there have been people in and out recently, who are they all looking for, but it turned out that only yesterday there was someone from the He family, and just happened to meet Aunt Wang and chatted at the second gate for a while.

She an aunt honestly stayed in the yard, how could she just happen to be able to run to the second gate to meet someone, thinking of this, Chen Shuang's face couldn't help but be gloomy, and Liu Hua commanded twice, and quietly called the maid who was waiting in Aunt Wang's yard to question.

The maid was just a teenage girl, and she only said that Aunt Wang mostly stayed in the room and didn't want her to serve, and she didn't know much about her affairs.

Chen Shuangchuan couldn't ask anything, so he could only put the maid back and told Liu Dashan to look at the courtyard carefully and not let people touch it.

Although he has been working as a nurse in the He family all these years, Liu Dashan has followed He Jinbao on the battlefield, of course, there are means, and he was reminded by Chen Shuang's anger once, Liu Dashan couldn't help but feel that his face was dull. After staying up for two or three nights to guard it in person, he really found a suspicious person, wearing a dark blue night suit, and quietly climbed up from the backyard wall, but before he could go anywhere, he was found by the nursing yard and fought for a while, but the man was athletic and let him run.

Chen Shuangchuan was still annoyed, the thief did not catch the stolen goods, but in the next few days, there was a news that all the families in the capital had entered the thief, Chen Shuangchuan was stunned when he heard it, just thinking that the one who entered his own door should also be an inconspicuous one in this continuous theft incident, and then he felt that it was too much of a coincidence.

It's useless for Chen Shuangchuan to think about these things alone, and he originally wanted to write a letter to talk to He Jinbao, but Chen Shuangchuan felt embarrassed, how to write this letter, could it be that your eldest wife suspected that your little wife was engaged in a conspiracy, and secretly met someone who she didn't know, it was not a political conspiracy, at least it was an emotional conspiracy......

How is this written, before Chen Shuangchuan came up with a reason, another big event happened in the He family, and Mrs. He's spirit was a little bad since the beginning of the first month, and he had been shy, and when he entered the spring, he finally couldn't stay up and fell ill.

After inviting many doctors, they could only shake their heads, Mrs. He is running out of oil and the lamp is dry, after all, he is old, and in the months of war, the hard life has consumed his vitality, and it is not easy to survive until now.

always felt that this blow came too suddenly, Chen Shuangchuan felt a little unbelievable, stunned for a long time, and was urged by Mama Fang, only to remember that there were still many things waiting for her to do.

Master He and Mrs. He were the closest, and as soon as they got the news, a large family crowded in this small courtyard and began to wipe tears from Mrs. He.

Before the doctor left, Mrs. He grabbed him and asked about his condition twice, and suddenly as if she had discovered a major secret, she turned her head and yelled at her with a very unkind face: "How do you take care of the master, how can you make the master suffer so much!" ”

I haven't seen it for a long time, and it was easy to enter this Hou Ye's mansion, and it is estimated that Mrs. He's anger has been accumulating for a long time, and I just thought about looking for Chen Shuang's unpleasantness when we met.

Worried about Mrs. He, where did Chen Shuangchuan still have the heart to talk to Mrs. He, she only looked at her coldly and didn't say a word, but it made Mrs. He feel even more angry, and immediately attributed all the fault to Chen Shuangchuan's head, and kept scolding Chen Shuangchuan for killing Mrs. He.

He Jinyuan, who was sitting on the side, couldn't look at it, so he asked, "Madam, since this is the case...... It's time to take him home, after all, it's just a grandson here. ”

Raising children to prevent old age, raising children to the end, it stands to reason that if Master He is such a serious son, Mrs. He's devotion should not have been He Jinbao's turn, but Chen Shuangchuan and He Jinbao are not stingy people, and Master He's family does not mention the matter of taking people back, and Mrs. He has been living here.

Countrymen pay attention to falling leaves and return to their roots, and it is very unlucky to die outside, since they are already helpless about Mrs. He's illness, Mr. He should always take Mrs. He home to live, so He Jinyuan has such a sentence.

Mrs. He was choked up at once, and it was convenient to take Mrs. He back to live for a few days, but it was a lot of expenses after this death, and she also calculated that since Mrs. He lived here and died here, then this expense should naturally be He Jinbao by the way, but she didn't expect He Jinyuan to suddenly say such a thing, but Mrs. He couldn't say no.

Master He was still filial, he cried on the side for a while, and when he heard He Jinyuan say this, he thought it was right, so he nodded and hurriedly asked someone to prepare the car. Chen Shuangchuan didn't have any reason to object to these customs, but he was afraid that Mrs. He would be uncomfortable, so he took several quilts to warm the carriage, so he let the car go.

He Jue was still young, so it was not easy to bring him over, so he handed him over to Chunhong to take with him, but He Ruyu was already seven years old, and he was usually close to Mrs. He, this kind of occasion was inevitable, Chen Shuangchuan was afraid that Mrs. He would say something unpleasant to her, so she could only pack up her things in a hurry and chase after He Ruyu.

Although he sent a letter to He Jinbao early, but he received the emperor's errand, so he couldn't just walk away, so he could only write to ask the emperor for permission, and then he hurried back, and it was already the third night.

Mrs. He was already delirious, no matter how he shouted, he didn't wake up, He Jinbao was just in time to see the last face, but he felt that he was suddenly in a dream, and the person on the bed didn't look like the master who had taught him since he was a child.

Chen Shuangchuan has been staying up for several nights, and he couldn't hold it until the early hours of the morning, so he took a small nap against the wall, and seemed to hear some small sounds in a trance, so he was quickly startled, and when he saw it, He Jinbao was sitting motionless. There were too many quilts on the bed, and Mrs. He's withered yellow face sank deeply, making her look more and more skinny, as if she was about to float, she was already cold, and she had been out of breath for a long time.

After the New Year, Mrs. He is seventy-six years old, whether it is in the countryside or in the capital, it can be regarded as a long life, and it is a natural old age and death without illness and pain, and the people who come to mourn are somewhat prepared, not too surprised, and there is not much melancholy, as well as the Taoist priest's mantra, the singing and mourning of the opera troupe, mixed together and even have a faint joyful atmosphere.

Chen Shuangchuan only felt that it was like being in a dream, in a trance, looking like it was through a layer of fog, hazy and dim, whether it was a vigil, a coffin, or a funeral, Chen Shuangchuan didn't understand what he was doing.

Fortunately, Chen Shuangchuan took He Jinbao and He Ruyu are grandchildren, Mrs. He was afraid of trouble and specially invited the mourning woman to take charge, and they didn't have too much to do, basically just to burn paper money in front of the spirit, and there were special people on the side to guide them, and they said that they would do it together.

It's just that these days, Chen Shuangchuan's physical strength has almost reached the limit, and when he kowtowed to the Taoist priest and walked around the lit pagoda, Chen Shuangchuan only felt dizzy for a while, and couldn't help but walk aside and vomit a few times.
