As soon as he left the room, a cold wind hit, Shen Ai couldn't help but shrink his neck and buried his little face in Shen Erye's neck, the air in this world without haze is fresh, but the relative weather is much colder.

was carried all the way to the study, the charcoal basin was already burning in the house, Shen Ai took off his cloak and threw it to Shen Erye with the hand stove, and ran towards the iron on the table.

Because he had drawn a monolithic one to Shen Erye before, he had already asked the blacksmith to assemble at this time, Shen Ai patted the hot pot happily, and said: "Daddy, you let people spread the word, Ai'er will cook in person today, so that grandfather and uncle must come back for dinner." ”

Although I don't know what this girl is doing, the second master of the favorite girl still ordered someone to pass the word, Shen Ai put on her cloak again, hugged the hand stove, and ran towards the kitchen with brisk steps.

At dinner, the whole family arrived without pulling it, and before they sat down, they saw a strange stove on the dining table, with a hot soup on the top, and a charcoal fire burning brightly below, and smoke coming out of the exit of the chimney-like in the middle, and a small gate was made in the place where the charcoal was added below, which could be opened and closed at any time, and there was a pile of thinly sliced meat next to the stove, and the pigs, chickens, cows, and sheep were all ready, and there were a few plates of green vegetables.

After taking a seat, Shen Guogong asked, "What is this?" ”

"It's called antique soup." Shen Ai explained: "When eating, use chopsticks to pick up the raw meat slices and put them in the thick bone broth that is already boiling on the top, and you can eat them when they are cooked, which is very delicious. ”

As he spoke, he first brushed a piece of beef with chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce prepared by the chef and placed it in Shen Guogong's bowl: "Grandfather, can you taste it first?" ”

Shen Guogong smiled lovingly, raised his hand and touched her head, just picked up the chopsticks, picked up the meat in the bowl, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and the eyes of the family fell on his face, only to see his eyes slightly brightened and praised: "Well, yes, the meat is fresh and tender, you can taste it." ”

Everyone learned from Shen Ai's appearance and sandwiched the beef brush, and only after seeing that it was cooked thoroughly did they pick up the sauce and enter it, and after eating, they all praised it repeatedly, and Zhang even ate a few pieces and stopped and said: "Ai'er, this little head will think about it, with this pot, we don't have to worry about looking at the dishes that have just been served on the table with oil and frost." ”

Several brothers also praised Shen Ai while eating, they were all people who had studied culture, and they praised her a little flutteringly, Mu Shi raised his finger and poked her forehead with a smile: "Look at the proud, don't eat it quickly." ”

Shen Ai was nervous, because she was small and short-handed, she stood up and stood on tiptoe to brush the meat for Shen Guogong in person, and when she sat down at this time, she had to rely on the Mu family, Shen Erye and Shen Qingfeng around her to help brush it.

Fortunately, the three of them did not forget themselves, although they couldn't brush it personally, but Shen Ai was also very satisfied.

Zhang and Mu discussed while eating and then set a bigger one, this thing can only be eaten together by their own family, if it is a banquet, they really dare not put it out, after all, they are all guests who are not familiar with each other, and it is really not good to stretch chopsticks into this soup one by one, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

After the family finished eating the dishes on the table and Shen Ai was afraid that they would not have enough to prepare, they all felt that they were still unsatisfied, so they let the kitchen come to the kitchen again, and everyone was sweating profusely before resting their chopsticks.

Mu Shi took a handkerchief and wiped the fine sweat on Shen Ai's forehead and the tip of his nose, and said, "It's good to eat like this, but it's easy to sweat because of the taste." ”

Zhang also wiped himself with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "It's all my own family, don't get in the way." ”

Mu Shi smiled in response.

After the meal, the family went back to the house to wash, and when Shen Ai came out refreshed, it was raining outside, and it was already gloomy today, but I didn't expect it to rain at night, and the raindrops crackled against the window paper, as if it was to be compared with the summer storm.

Shen Ai sat on a reclining chair and listened to the sound of the rain, allowing Lingcui and Lingbi to dry their damp hair with a handkerchief and a charcoal cage.

The house was warm, and Shen Ai couldn't help but feel a little sleepy after eating and drinking, and the rain was so big that the father and mother were afraid that they would not come over as usual, so when their hair was dry, they climbed into bed and let the two girls blow out the lamp.

When I woke up the next day, I saw that the cold charcoal of last night in the house had already been removed by the maids and replaced with a new one, and I looked out from the slightly open window to breathe, and saw that the rain was still falling and the sky was getting heavier than yesterday, so I got up and asked Lingcui, who was waiting next to me, "What time is it?" ”

Lingcui lifted the curtain and hung it up, and replied: "It's almost time, Miss Wakes up early today." ”

After getting dressed and washed, I sat and waited for a while before I saw Shen Erye and Mu coming over with umbrellas, Shen Qingfeng followed behind him, handed the umbrella to the maid waiting outside the door, and when he entered the house, he saw that she was already sitting in the house waiting, Mu couldn't help but be surprised: "Yo! It's rare to get up so early today! ”

Shen Ai, who was drinking honey water, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief: "It's my mother who is late today." ”

After instructing the maids and daughters-in-law behind him to have breakfast, Mu Shi turned around and said, "It's your little uncle who came back, and he didn't enter the house early this morning, so he came here with a bunch of things." ”

Wood white? The idle little son of the Mu family?

In fact, to tell the truth, although Mu Bai is idle all day long, he really loves Shen Ai from the bottom of his bones, and every time he returns, he will bring a lot of fun things to her, so this Shen Ai in the original body likes to stick to this little uncle very much.

"Uncle I'm back, what about people? Did he bring me any fun? Although this body has changed its core, Shen Ai still learned the reaction of the original body before, and took Mu's hand and probed out of the door.

The maids just came in with the dishes, and Shen Erye hugged her and placed her on the chair next to the table, and said, "Bring it, let your brother take you to see it after breakfast, and your little uncle rushed home to see your grandfather and grandmother, so he didn't leave any food." ”

Mu Shi waved his hand and sent the maid to serve Shen Ai with porridge by himself, and said: "The two big boxes are for you, remember to play with the eldest brother and the second brother!" ”

Shen Ai took a sip of porridge and responded to Shen Qingfeng crisply: "Got it." ”

After breakfast, Shen Ai put on a small jacket and cloak, and Shen Qingfeng led her out with an umbrella.

The two of them first went to the big room to call the two brothers who also happened to have breakfast, and the four of them were led by the little maid to the warm house where the boxes were placed.

Originally, Mu Bai asked people to bring four boxes, two boxes were children's gadgets, and the other two boxes were cloth, jewelry, and fat powder, etc., and Mu had asked the mother-in-law to take them out and give some to the big house.

followed by a few brothers around the open box, inside the open box, a box is a gadget, there are rattles, small wooden swords, pleasing puppets, etc., and there is a box of calligraphy, painting, pen and ink and the like, don't think about it, it's for these boys, and seeing the surprised and loving appearance of these people, I'm afraid it's a little priced, this little uncle is very good at life.

After all, it was not a real eight-year-old child, Shen Ai was not very interested in these puppets and the like, and stayed with a few brothers for a while before returning to the house with gadgets.

Let Lingbi put all the puppets in the house, and find a box and put away all the noisy things that hurt your brain when the rattle moves.

Lingbi was a little puzzled, wasn't it these dingdongdong things that this little master's favorite thing in the past, but children's preferences are unpredictable, so they don't ask much to pack things up.

The next day, Mu Bai came to visit the house, and Shen Ai was clamoring to go to the gate to greet her, but Mu and Shen Erye had no choice but to put on a cloak for her and let the mother-in-law take her out with an umbrella.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Shen Ai stretched out his head to look, only to see a man wearing a white brocade robe, a jade crown with a high bundle, and a tall posture like a Zhilan jade tree.

With her, who is known as the first beauty, her mother-in-law Mu's family, her mother's brother-in-law is naturally not bad.

The little guy standing next to him was holding an oil umbrella, and Mu Bai, who got out of the car, raised his eyes and saw Shen Ai lying on the side of the gate looking at him, and a smile appeared on his handsome face, and he approached him: "Little Ai'er doesn't know her uncle?" ”

Shen Ai naturally didn't slap his face, and raised his cute little face and stretched out his hand to him: "Little uncle hug." ”

Mu Bai smiled and pinched her red little face before picking up the person with her cloak and walking towards the courtyard, "Why did you come out of such a cold day?" ”

Nestled in front of his warm chest, Shen Ai's chin raised slightly: "Pick up uncle." ”

Mu Bai rubbed her head with joy.

Because Shen Guogong and Uncle Shen did not return to the court, Mu Bai went directly to Mu's courtyard, and the two took off their cloaks and entered the house, and Mu Shi came up with tears in his eyes and took Mu Bai's hand, looking him up and down a little choked.

And Shen Ai, who was ignored by his mother on the side, also climbed onto the knees of Shen Erye, who was sitting on the side, to make room for the two sisters and brothers.

Mu Shi looked at his younger brother who had not seen him for three years, looked at his appearance but his body had lost a lot of weight, wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and said: "Your child has been gone for three years, and he will not return home during the New Year's holidays. ”

Mu Bai also looked at Mu's, and saw that she was still the same as when he left home, and there was no sorrow between his eyebrows and eyes, thinking that his brother-in-law treated her very well, he felt at ease, and comforted him: "I didn't suffer hardship, don't look at it, although I have lost weight, but it is all tendon meat, and my body is more healthy than in the capital, my sister doesn't have to worry." ”

Fang Cai took his hand, and Mu Shi also felt that it was indeed a lot stronger, and when Mu's mood stabilized, Mu Bai bowed his hand to Shen Erye.

"Brother-in-law."

Second Master Shen fed Shen Ai snacks and waved his hand at him: "After going out for so long, I finally came back, although your sister didn't say it, she was always worried about you in her heart, so you can talk to her, don't worry about me." ”

Compared with the eldest brother-in-law, the prince of the county, Mu Bai likes this second brother-in-law who has no official position but is outstanding in literature, he doesn't love officialdom, and he can't talk to the eldest brother-in-law about the situation between the DPRK and China.

Shen Aiwo listened to Mu Bai tell them about the scenery and folklore he had seen and the friends he had made during his travels, and sighed slightly in his heart, if one day she could also visit this world, it would really be in vain to come to this trip.

Mu Bai went to the county king's mansion after having lunch in the Shen Mansion, originally wanted to go to the county king's mansion first in the morning, but the princess of the county had a banquet and came to see the Mu family first.
