Beihu, Youzhou City, General's Mansion.

Shen Yuexi was playing with her two children, she was sitting on the swing, slowly rocking, watching Xuan Xia and Heng'er run after me.

Zhicui hugged a month-old baby and said to Shen Yuexi: "Princess Jin is in a hurry, and she has to go to the ground all the time." ”

Shen Yuexi said with a smile: "At this time in the coming year, she will be able to run behind her two elder brothers." ”

Zhicui nodded, looking at the three children in the yard, her eyes were full of love no less than Shen Yuexi. She raised these children single-handedly.

Xia is six years old, Heng'er is four years old, and Jin'er is one year old.

These years have been peaceful, but there are more times to get along with clumsiness, three children have been born, and their relationship is better than before, it is a kind of affection that is rubbed into family affection in love, and it is extremely strong.

So in the early years, there were ministers who proposed to take a concubine clumsyly, but they were rejected by Clumsy, and later saw that the relationship between the king and the queen was not you, I was nong, and the ministers stopped mentioning it.

There is only one queen in the harem, and the ministers say that since the opening of the Northern Hu Dynasty, Hu Zhuo is the first, and it is estimated that he will be the last.

Naren is still in Youzhou City, the world of Beihu has been decided over the years, and Hu Clumsy no longer regards Na Ren as a hostage, and the Protector is already very old and no longer cares about political affairs, but he still tried once later for Na Ren to marry Hu Zhuo.

Naturally, it failed.

The protector no longer insists on it, and he also admires the clumsiness, and there are not many men in the world who treat such a bright and upright relationship.

After so many long and hopeless waits, Naren's heart is not what it used to be, she is 25 years old, a flower about to wither.

Naren is also anxious, trying to find a home, but she has loved a man like Huchuang, and the people next to her can no longer see her, she guards the empty house, day after day, a little dazed.

Over the years, she watched Shen Yuexi become pregnant, give birth to a prince, become pregnant again, and give birth to a princess, everything this woman has is what she dreamed of.

But she knew she wouldn't get it.

In the midst of day after day of worry and resentment, Naren had white hair and temples like snow, and she looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and even the strength to smile bitterly was exhausted.

Shen Yuexi's face is still the same, she has given birth to four children, like a ripe honey * peach, more indescribable temptation than the previous elegance.

Clumsy sometimes hugged her and said that she was rounder than before, which was really just right.

Hu clumsily tries to find time to accompany Shen Yuexi every day, going out in the spring, escaping the heat in the summer, admiring the moon in the autumn night, and watching the snow in the winter, he has never snubbed Shen Yuexi, and every promise he made has never been broken.

During the Qingming Festival, Hu Zhuo would also accompany Shen Yuexi to worship the Shen family.

After so many years, the trees in the cemetery of the Shen clan have become more and more luxuriant, and those who sleep underground should be very happy. Shen Yuexi walked in front of these tombs one by one, and finally stopped in front of Yi'er's tomb, she squatted down and whispered: Mother has come to see you Yi'er.

My mother has never forgotten you, and so has your father, who often thinks of you, and we love you very much.

Shen Yuexi said, bursting into tears.

Standing aside, he stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Shen Yuexi's shoulder, and everything was silent.

After Qingming, Hu Zhuo also accompanied Shen Yuexi to dig wild vegetables once.

On the mountain outside Youzhou City, Hu Zhuo took Shen Yuexi to look for wild vegetables on the hillside, thanks to Shen Yuexi's teaching for so many years, Hu Zhuo actually recognized a lot of wild vegetables.

Shen Yuexi also picked some medicinal herbs, she has been studying medical books all these years, and she will take a look at some small problems with the subordinates in the general's mansion.

Shen Yuexi also took the pulse of the clumsy at every turn and studied the pulse.

Often, he sat there clumsily and reviewed the folds, turning over the folds with one hand and putting the other hand aside, Shen Yuexi's fingers clicked on his wrists, and his eyes were closed: "This fold must be difficult to handle, your pulse is a little urgent......

The two of them often play such childish games, and they never get tired of it.

**

"I'm going to go to Jiangcheng in a few days." On this day, Hu Zhuo said to Shen Yuexi.

"Why?"

"You have to think of a way to cross the Hunjiang River in order to continue to capture Southern Xia."

"The Beihu soldiers are not good at water warfare, but they are afraid that they will lose a lot, not to mention that if they want to cross the river, they still need a large number of ships, which is not easy to say."

"Then you have to try, I swore that I would arrest Zhao Zheng and avenge Shen Yi."

Shen Yuexi thought for a while, "If you want to capture Zhao Zheng, why do you need to use the Beihu army, you just need to find out his whereabouts and bring him here." ”

Now Shen Yuexi's children are around her knees, and her life is complete, only Zhao Zheng is missing, and she also vowed to catch Zhao Zheng and put everything he did to Shen Yi on him.

Suddenly, after thinking about it, what Shen Yuexi said made sense, as long as he sent Jingwei to Nanxia and secretly arrested him when Zhao Zheng left the palace, not only could he avenge Shen Yi, but Nanxia would also fall into chaos, and it would be much easier for him to attack Nanxia again?

But Zhao Zheng's martial arts are not weak, and he is protected by guards, so it is not easy to catch him.

"Zhao Zheng will go to Yunyou Temple every few days for a walk, when he goes to Yunyou Temple, he usually does not have many followers around, you let Jingwei lurk in the only way of Yunyou Temple, and if you injure him with a hidden weapon, you will definitely succeed." Shen Yuexi said.

Hu nodded clumsily, "I will discuss this matter with Jingwei, make strict arrangements, and be sure to hit with one hit, otherwise I will be startled and there will be no second chance." ”

"Then Jiangcheng is still going?" Shen Yuexi asked with a smile.

"Go, just take you out for a walk." Suddenly, he replied.

Ten days later, Hu Zhuo took Shen Yuexi and his three children to the border city.

Zhicui and Jianshan are both in the entourage, they have always cared for each other, but they restrained their feelings and tacitly understood it.

Youzhou City and Jiangcheng are not far away, and they will arrive on the eighth or ninth day.

When he arrived in Jiangcheng, Shen Yuexi naturally thought of Xiao Zhen.

"I don't know if he's still fishing here." Shen Yuexi said with a smile.

Suddenly thought for a while, "Why don't we go to the riverside tomorrow to have a look." ”

The next day, Hu Zhuo and Shen Yuexi had breakfast, and then walked to the bank of the Hunjiang River together.

The high and low bluestone pavement is still the same as at the beginning, clumsily holding Shen Yuexi's hand and asking her to watch out for her feet, in the twilight of spring, the slate road is too slippery and uneven.

On the Hunjiang River, there are several more fishing boats than five years ago, and on one of them, a man with a net cast is leaning on the canopy and squinting at the people walking along the river.

Why is that walking woman so much like Shen Yuexi?

The man sat up straight and looked closely, wasn't the man next to the woman the king of Beihu clumsy?

Heh, the man smiled, and they came to Jiangcheng again.

This man is Xiao Zhen, his five-year fishing career has made his complexion a little darker, and nothing else has changed.

Xiao Zhen knew that when Hu Zhuo and Shen Yuexi came, they must have come to look for him, and avoided him? It's not necessary, now that Beihu and Nanxia don't invade each other, they are not enemies, even if they are old friends, it's good to catch up together.

So, after thinking about it, Xiao Zhen collected the net and rocked the boat to the riverbank.

"So he's still here." Shen Yuexi recognized the figure on the fishing boat and said to Hu Zhuo.

"So I admire him and do what he does." Suddenly looked at Shen Yuexi, "I also worked as a fisherman in Black Cliff Town." ”

Shen Yuexi knew about this, and Hu Zhuo had mentioned it to her, and at that time, Shen Yuexi followed Zhao Zheng away, and she was desperate, and she just wanted to live her life guarding the fishing boat in Black Cliff Town.

But why is this Xiao Zhen?

Xiao Zhen tied up the fishing boat, jumped ashore, and greeted Shen Yuexi.

"You're going to be a fisherman here for the rest of your life?" Asked clumsily.

"There's nothing wrong with that." Xiao Zhen smiled.

Then he picked up the fish basket in his hand and showed it to Huc, "If you don't dislike it, how about eating stewed fish in the cold house at noon today?" ”

Suddenly, he nodded, "You are in charge of the fish stew, and I am in charge of the wine estimation." ”

Xiao Zhen laughed, and the two gave in to each other and walked towards the Jiangcheng Market.

In the market, he clumsily estimated the wine, bought some beef, and then went to his house under the leadership of Xiao Zhen.

is a very simple house, and only Xiao Zhen lives alone.

"You're not married?" Asked clumsily.

"I'm used to being alone, but I'm still at ease." Xiao Zhen responded.

is also telling the truth, he is indeed an unruly person, and ordinary women can't stop him at all. He fished in exchange for silver, kept some for himself, and took the rest to his hometown, where he had his old father and mother, and two younger brothers, both of whom were married, and they took care of his parents, and he was very relieved.

After fishing by the river for many years, Xiao Zhen has not learned, except that the water is getting better and better, and the skill of fish stew is getting better and better.

The fish he stewed was delicious and delicious, and after eating it, he was full of praise.

Xiao Zhen glanced at Shen Yuexi, Shen Yuexi took a bite, and praised the delicious fish again and again.

Xiao Zhen smiled at this time, and poured wine for the clumsy, "Long time no see, let's have a drink." ”

Suddenly, he drank the wine and drank it all, only to feel happy, and there was a kind of joy of meeting a confidant with wine.

After a few bowls of wine, the two of them gradually talked more, and finally talked about the situation between Beihu and Nanxia, and they each had expectations for the future.

"Since ancient times, the two armies have been at war, and the most affected are the ordinary people, these years of fishing by the river, watching the people live and work in peace and contentment, I think it is the best, if possible, I hope that Nanxia and Beihu have been so peaceful coexistence." Xiao Zhen said.

Clumsy did not speak.

Xiao Zhen looked at him, "The king came to Jiangcheng this time, could it be that he intended to start a war again?" ”

"What would you do if there was a war?" Asked clumsily.

"If the court needs it, I will definitely return to the battlefield and be your opponent again." Xiao Zhen did not hide his true thoughts at all.

But Hu Zhuo likes Xiao Zhen like this, frank and downright, he smiled and raised the bowl in his hand, "Then I will make a toast to see you on the battlefield in the future." ”

Xiao Zhen raised the bowl and touched the clumsy wine bowl, making a crisp sound, and then the two drank the wine in one gulp.
