Chapter 65: Members
The car twisted around for half an hour and then stopped, and as soon as it was steady, he heard someone outside calling Second Master Shen.
Shen Ai curiously lifted the curtain and saw a man about 1.75 meters tall standing in the carriage, wearing a gray cloth robe, irrelevant but different from most people, slightly more three-dimensional, if you guess correctly, I am afraid that it is a person from that place in the Western Regions, but it looks quite handsome, similar to the modern mixed-race kind.
There was also a little boy about eleven or twelve years old standing next to the man, neatly dressed, looking like a man, just about to look up and accidentally touch a pair of dark pupils, it was the little boy, the four eyes were facing each other, Shen Ai was slightly stunned, and then raised a smile, and called to the child: "Hello little brother!" ”
Shen Ai's call drew the man's attention, and he glanced at himself, and then he heard: "This is the county lord?" ”
is not a real child, Shen Ai is not stage frightened at all, lying on the edge of the lathe, the corners of his lips raised a perfect arc, and called sweetly: "Hello uncle, you can call me Ai'er, uncle's surname?" ”
The cute appearance made the man laugh, raised his hand and touched his head, and said, "Uncle surname Wu, Ai'er can be called Uncle Wu." ”
Shen Ai immediately said, "Hello Uncle Wu! ”
Wu Zhenggang withdrew his hand with a smile and said, "Okay, it's cold outside, let's go into the house and talk." ”
Shen Ai answered, waiting for Shen Erye to pick herself up from the car, she had short legs and couldn't get off alone.
As soon as he landed, Shen Erye introduced the little boy next to the man with her and Shen Qingfeng: "This is Brother Wu Yong." ”
Shen Ai and Shen Qingfeng greeted Wu Yong at the same time, and the little boy who called Wu Yong was not shy, and greeted them generously.
Because they were the same age as Shen Qingfeng, the two quickly chatted about the topic, but Shen Ai couldn't, so he had to follow Mu into the backyard to visit Mrs. Wu, who was still in confinement.
When she entered the back room, Shen Ai smelled a faint smell of blood, and since she came here, she found that her sense of smell had become super sensitive, and she could smell a little bit of it.
There are two girls and a grandmother waiting in the house, the mother can't see the wind, and she can only talk through the curtain, Mu has been here three days ago, so the conversation is not so rusty at this time, and both of them have given birth to children, and there are more topics to talk about.
Shen Ai vaguely saw Mrs. Wu's face through the curtain, although it was not very clear, but she could see that she was a delicate person, she said hello, please be safe, and sat quietly with Mrs. Wu after chatting for a few words, and then sat quietly and listened to their chat.
Mrs. Wu looked at her well-behaved appearance, and praised her repeatedly: "Look at the cute appearance of the county lord, I also thought about giving birth to a girl earlier, and I thought of being a kid." ”
"Sister, don't praise her." Mu smiled and pointed at his daughter who winked at him with big eyes, and said angrily: "Don't look at her now, she looks well-behaved and clever, she jumps up and down in the house on weekdays, and she is not in shape." ”
"Mother!" Shen Ai was unhappy and puffed up her little face and glared at Mu Shi, how could she make her face like this in front of outsiders, although she was small, she also wanted face.
Mu pinched her little face, turned his head away from her, and talked to Mrs. Wu about the child, and did not stop until the time of the third baptism came.
Washing three is handled by an elderly grandmother, Shen Ai is still the first time to see this washing three, how to say, it is to bathe the newborn doll, but there are many copper plates in the basin of water, and the child is bathed with water soaked in copper plates, no matter how much it is not clean, after all, how many people have touched this copper plate!
After the ceremony, Shen Ai was finally able to take a closer look at the newborn, Mu was hugging and teasing, Shen Ai leaned over to take a look, her skin was still a little wrinkled, red, not very good-looking, she took care of it in the orphanage in her previous life was white and tender, and it was the first time she saw it today.
raised his finger and poked his cheek gently, and was slapped away by Mu's hand: "You girl is rough, don't hurt my brother." ”
"Hmph, my mother is bad, and I dislike my son." Shen Ai pouted with a dissatisfied accusation, turned around and threw herself into Shen Erye's arms for comfort
The family had lunch at Wu's house and sat for a while before returning to the house, although there was chaos outside, but after all, the capital was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, after the panic of the first few days, the whole capital was back to the same as before, many hawkers came out to set up stalls, and there were many people walking around the road.
The carriage drove slowly down the street, Shen Ai leaned on the window edge and watched the crowd coming and going, and one person in the middle of the crowd in the dark was also watching her at the moment.
The carriage walked away before the man retracted his gaze, and the person standing next to him asked, "Shizi, Zhou Yu is still waiting in the teahouse." ”
Dressed in coarse linen clothes, Zhou Li, who was dressed in a fake beard and disguise, glanced at him and said coldly: "Let him wait, this little thing can't be done, waste." ”
The person next to him suddenly screamed and didn't dare to speak, Zhou Li glanced at the direction of the carriage, raised his steps and said, "Let's go, although it is a waste, it still has some use value." "The Shen family's girl treats things as she goes, and she takes her time.
The war at the border pass continued, and after the prince arrived in Quzhou City, he fought a big battle and several small battles with the king of Beiming, all of which achieved small victories, and wrote several good news reports to the old emperor.
The old emperor who had just received the good news in the palace was full of excitement, and the early dynasty praised the prince fiercely in front of all the courtiers, and the people below also followed suit, only Jiang Guogong, Shen Guogong and Zheng Chengxiang looked at each other and were silent.
The king of Beiming is an old fritter, there was Yan Feng in front, the emperor sent the prince to take command of them so that they did not stop, although the prince usually looks gentle and elegant, in fact, a closer look will know that this person is so happy, now the king of Beiming is inferior, and I don't know if it is premeditated or really unable to resist the 300,000 army.
Shen Guogong and Jiang Guogong walked slowly at the end, and the two people, who had always been a little incompatible, went through Shen Ai's affairs, and with this girl as a lubricant, their feelings got better.
Walking out of the main hall, Shen Guogong took the lead and said: "What plum blossom wine has my little girl made in the past few days, I tasted it yesterday, and it tastes very good, do you want to come?" ”
"Oh?" Jiang Guogong smiled on his face and waved his hand: "Hurry up and lead the way." ”
Shen Guogong doesn't care about his attitude, they are all old acquaintances, and no one knows about his habit of drinking.
When he arrived at the Shen Mansion, Shen Guogong immediately warmed up, and the two of them tasted wine and played a game in the study, talking about the current war between words, Jiang Guogong only listened to him: "Although there are a few small victories now, in my opinion, it is not a long-term thing." ”
Shen Guogong also said: "You and I both know what kind of person the King of Beiming is, and the only person who knows him best is the saint, who praises the prince like this today.... I'm afraid it will be... I can't hold my face. ”
Jiang Guogong snorted lightly and said, "You don't look at who the prince's temperament is so joyful." ”
Shen Guogong was silent and said, "I'm afraid that the war over there will still have to be taken action by your Jiang family." ”
Jiang Guogong poured a glass of plum blossom wine for himself and drank it before saying: "The border city can't be moved, Yu'er is injured, and he has no official position, I'm afraid I can only go out in person." ”
After a pause, he said: "Now there is still a Yan Feng over there, the King of Beiming still has to spend some brains if he wants to capture Quzhou City, I have already explained when he leaves, Quzhou City can't be broken." "Although Yan Feng is a saint, he is also a general who came out of his subordinates, and he still has some connections.
Shen Guogong sneered, took a sip of warm wine, and said, "No wonder you look like you don't care, it turns out that you have made preparations!" ”
Jiang Guogong also smiled and said: "You literati are all twisting and turning when you say something, and we generals are not allowed to hide some careful thoughts!" ”
Put down the wine glass in his hand and said: "The king of Beiming is not a climate, if he just ascended the throne when he started to take the throne, he still needs to weigh it, now the foundation of the court is stable, the holy body is still healthy, and the prince is not a lord who is not a climate, at this time, it is a little difficult to succeed, I am worried about the border city, if Xiliang sees the opportunity to come out and jump, it is really a little difficult to do." ”
Shen Guogong fell, lifted the pot and poured a glass of wine for him, and said: "Your Jiang family's army is stationed in the border city, and Xiliang wants to take advantage of the situation to weigh two points, but I am afraid that there are a lot of small fights." ”
Jiang Guogong also nodded in agreement.
There are not many things that two people can talk about, and when the topic is turned over, Jiang Guogong asked the plum blossom wine in his hand, and said: "This wine is much stronger than the chrysanthemum wine last time, and the flower flavor has also been made, and this little girl will toss." ”
"Not really." Shen Guogong said with a smile: "This girl came over with a stall as soon as I entered the house yesterday, mysteriously, saying that this is a plum blossom wine that took nearly five or six months to brew, and brought it to me to taste first, I thought it was very good after drinking it, and I called you over today." ”
Jiang Guogong asked: "This girl has made so much and novel wine, is she going to sell it?" ”
Originally, it was just a casual question, but I didn't expect Shen Guogong to really nod and said: "This girl is really planning to open a wine shop, didn't your third son help her sell chrysanthemum wine a while ago, the sales are not bad, this girl wants to open a few more shops, I also heard her talk about it yesterday, your son still has a share." ”
"Hey! Little bunny. Jiang Guogong patted his thigh and said, "This kid is not on the road, what do you need to share if you sell a wine." ”
Shen Guogong also nodded approvingly: "Yes, don't go to the road." ”
Then Jiang Guogong asked again: "Your Shen Mansion is going to run out of food?" ”
Shen Guogong looked at him suspiciously: "Who said that?" ”
Jiang Guogong frowned and looked puzzled: "I haven't run out of food... Then why does this girl sell so much wine? ”
Shen Guogong glanced at him and said, "I'm still here, I can lack food and clothing, this girl is just digging into money, and she loves those white flowers and golden things." ”
Jiang Guogong patted his head and said with a smile: "Hey! It's the same as me. ”
After speaking, he was shocked by his own words, turned his head and saw Shen Guocheng looking at him with a suspicious face, hurriedly waved his hand to clarify, and said: "I swear that I can confiscate the bribe, and you don't want to join me in a copy." ”
Shen Guogong sighed disdainfully.
