Chapter 138: A Family of Four Reunited
[Chapter 4, Volume 4]
Section 477
On the day of departure, Wei Changying was worried and worried, holding Shen Shuxie and Shen Zangzhu and saying goodbye to the car-I had to tell her to pay attention to Shen Shuyan and Cao Yiren, not to say that they should not be negligent in taking care of them, but they must be disciplined well, lest they do anything foolish.
Because the convoy with a lot of earth instruments and baggage was surrounded by a mighty number of soldiers, out of Xiliang, through the ancient road, to the imperial capital.
The Xiliang Army is now one of the most elite soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty, although there are many places where there have been civil uprisings or gathered many people from the green forest along the way, but a little inquiry is that the Xiliang Army escorted the young lady of the Shen family and Sun Gongzi back to the imperial capital.
And to Wei Changying's relief, the good news may have reached her and Shen Zangfeng's good body, and the long journey didn't seem to make Shen Shuxie feel any discomfort. Every day, when he had slept enough and had eaten enough, the child seemed to be in good spirits, and when he was held in his hands, or when the road was flat and the carriage was not so bumpy, he seemed to be full of energy, and when he teased him, he laughed crisply and loudly.
Shen Yongkun asked his sister-in-law to say goodbye sooner or later, and looked at his nephew by the way, and praised him again and again: "In the end, it is my Shen family's blood and bones." ”
In this way, Kankan arrived in Gyeonggi at the end of summer, but he couldn't go any further - this was because the Shen family was known as "not at ease" Wei Changying, a female streamer, returned with his infant male grandson, and was only escorted by an uncrowned uncle, who sent 40,000 elite escorts of the Xiliang Army.
The combat power of the Imperial Forest Army, known as the 300,000 Son of Heaven's pro-army, had already formed a sharp contrast with the border army when it attacked Yanzhou before. Therefore, the arrival of the Xiliang army, not to mention the Shengshang, even the princes of the court, including the Su family, resolutely disagreed with the Xiliang army entering the imperial capital or stationing near the imperial capital.
The Liu family even proposed that no garrison should be allowed near Gyeonggi, and that they must retreat to a place a few days away from the imperial capital and that the DPRK and China should send a supervising army, and it is better to confiscate weapons or prohibit some weapons from leaving the camp or something...... Shen Zhou's cultivation is not as good as Brother Nai, and he rolled up his sleeves and went up to beat people before he heard this request......
All in all, the Western Liang army stopped at Gyeonggi and waited for the outcome of the dispute between Korea and China - while Shen Zangfeng brought his guards and his eldest son to greet his wife and children and reunite in advance.
This time, Shen Yongkun also experienced the treatment of his cousin Shen Zanghui, he greeted the third brother enthusiastically, but from the third brother Shen Zangfeng to his nephew Shen Shuguang, he didn't even give him an eye, and went straight to Wei Changying, who was already in tears......
Shen Zangfeng was so good at talking that he couldn't help but persuade Wei Changying to cry, and when he caught a glimpse of the filial piety that his wife's sideburns were still wearing for the old lady of the Song family, he couldn't help but comfort him again.
After a long time, the commander of the Huang family brought water and served the head of the guard to clean his face and wash his hands, so that the husband and wife were in the mood to pay attention to the flesh and blood that came with each other.
As early as when Shen Zangfeng was coaxing his wife, Shen Shuguang, who had called his mother's leg a few times and didn't answer, had already run to see his younger brother curiously.
At this moment, Shen Shuguang was ignoring the persuasion of his subordinates, stepping on a small pestle, lying on the side of the cradle and looking at his younger brother who was sleeping soundly, and could not wake up even when his father and brother came and his mother cried. The child was patient but good, and his father and mother persuaded and cried behind him, so he just watched on his stomach, except for occasionally reaching out his finger and gently touching his brother's cheek, he was actually full of interest.
Wei Changying turned his head and saw that his heart was full of pity, he broke away from her husband's hand, walked over and touched the head of her eldest son - this child, she was not yet a week old when she was forced to leave him, and Shen Shuxie is about the same age now, and she has been separated for more than two years, and before you know it, she is already four years old.
Shen Shuguang was touched on the head, so he turned around to see that the little pestle he stepped on was not very stable, so the next person stopped him, and the whole pestle shook when he turned around, Wei Changying hurriedly reached out and hugged him, Shen Shuguang took advantage of the situation and hugged his mother's neck, and said with a smile: "Mother!" ”
His voice was affectionate and sweet, not at all like he was separated from his mother in infancy, and this was the first time he knew his biological mother, as if he was raised under Wei Changying's knees every day. It shows Mrs. Su's intentions in teaching her grandson, and she did not let Shen Shuguang have any regrets and dissatisfaction with the separation from her parents when she was an infant.
Wei Changying's original preparations for the eldest son's alienation from him would be useless in front of this haze "mother", so he could only hug his eldest son tightly and kiss his cheeks and the soft fetal hair on his forehead.
On the other side, Shen Zangfeng took his second son Shen Shuxie around the room, walked back and showed it to Shen Shuguang, and said with a smile: "Do you see if your brother looks like your grandmother?" ”
Shen Shuguang was tired of being skillful in his mother's arms - obviously he usually did this with other elders, and he coaxed Wei Changying so much that he didn't know how to hurt him in a few moments - Wen Yan leaned his head on Wei Changying's arm, turned his black and white eyes, and said with a smile: "The child just found out, before the grandmother heard that the fourth brother looked like her, she was very happy, and when the fourth brother went back, the grandmother will definitely like him." ”
Shen Zangfeng nodded, just when Wei Changying thought that he would say something like brotherly harmony and not jealousy of his younger brother - this is not that Wei Changying thinks too much, but that there is such a jealous niece as Shen Shuyan, and he always has to take precautions - but he didn't expect Shen Zangfeng to say: "Since this is the case, I am not afraid that no one will make your grandmother happy in the future." From Ming'er onwards, you don't have to go to your grandmother every day to accompany you, it's almost the same to go once every ten days or eight days, and it's serious to learn something for your father. ”
"......" Wei Changying glanced at her husband disapprovingly...... This kind of disapproval reached its peak after Shen Shuguang listened to his father's words, burst into tears at an extremely fast speed, and looked at her with a hundred thousand points of grievance, and when the little hand on the side that Shen Zangfeng couldn't see was still pitifully pulling her sleeve, it reached its peak - the third young lady of the Shen family, who was born in the eldest lady of Rui Yutang, immediately sank her face and angrily scolded her husband who was still hugging her head and crying together, "Guang'er is only four years old, and it is not yet the time for enlightenment, what do you want him to learn?!" Did you learn this and that when you were four years old?! ”
Shen Zangfeng is so shrewd, as soon as he looks at his wife's angry appearance, he knows that his wife's love for her son is now blazing, and anyone who dares to say it disobeys her will in matters involving the two children at this time, it will definitely not end well!
After looking deeply at his eyes and still sparkling with tears to win sympathy and pity, Wei Changying didn't notice the corners of his mouth peeking at his eldest son with a smug and sly smile, Shen Zangfeng explained softly and slowly: "He is only so big, how can I ask him to learn anything?" It's just a description of red and a few allusions. ”
I can't hear any problem with this answer, because although children are about six years old to be enlightened, but in everyone, those who are elders and even slaves and maids can read and write, and basically from the age of three or five, they will teach some words, sentence reading, and so on.
Not to mention Shen Shuyan, who can compose poems at the age of three, Wei Changying himself has been taught by his mother and grandmother to depict red and simple ancient poems since he was three years old. It's just that before the formal enlightenment, this kind of teaching is not mandatory, and it is often taught when the child is interested, and the child will let it go if he wants to play.
So Wei Changying's anger rested for a while.
Seeing this situation, Shen Shuguang suddenly became anxious, leaned on his mother's arms, reached out and pulled his mother's sleeve, and shook it while saying aggrievedly with his glutinous, soft, crisp and sweet children's voice: "The child misses his mother, and he wants his mother to teach, not his father!" ”
Wei Changying's heart was shaken by him, and he agreed without hesitation: "My son, don't worry!" Mother will teach you herself! ”
Shen Shuguang looked at his father "timidly" - he noticed that his husband seemed to have a different opinion, and he was immersed in "Although it was a last resort to hand over Guang'er to his grandmother to raise him and go to Xiliang, it is a pity that this child was born less than a year old and was not taken care of by his biological parents, even if his grandfather and grandmother loved him, where can his biological parents compare?" After the planned reunion, this kid should hate me and resent me, even if he is low, he has to make him happy. I didn't expect him to be raised so well by his mother-in-law - well, his mother-in-law will raise children again, and this must be because Guang'er herself is very generous...... In short, this kid doesn't blame me at all, how can I not love him twice as much and protect him", Wei Changying, who immediately threw out the ancestral precept of "loving mothers and many defeated children" that he had heard since he was a child and that the Wei family and the Shen family had repeatedly emphasized, and said to her husband with a displeased face: "What, do you think I can't teach Guang'er?" ”
"Grandmother and aunt both said that my mother was the daughter of Fengzhou Wei, and she had learned from others!" Shen Shuguang's big black eyes smiled into two crescents, and said sweetly, "The child really wants to be taught by his mother himself!" The child misses his mother so much! Children love their mothers the most! ”
This kid mends the knife so quickly and fiercely-Huang and the others looked at Shen Zangfeng sympathetically-sure enough, in his wife's eyes when he saw that his eldest son was becoming more and more full of maternal love and seeing himself becoming more and more murderous, Shen Zangfeng swallowed his words hard, and thought for a moment before reluctantly saying: "Ying'er, you just came back, but my husband is worried that you are tired." ”
"Riding all the way, and having someone to serve, what can you be tired of?" Before Wei Changying finished speaking, he was generously rewarded with a fragrant kiss by his eldest son, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, only to feel that all the hardships of the bumps on the road were gone, and he said without thinking, "Besides, when I see Guang'er and Xie'er, where will I feel tired?!" ”
Speaking of which, what else can Shen Zangfeng say besides complying? I had to smile and praise her for some shameless words such as being a model of a loving mother and a good wife in the world, so I proposed that the team of soldiers and the guards brought by them when they came first escort the family of four and the servants and Tuyi back to Beijing.
The master's family was reunited, and the fool would be blind enough to let the couple put down the child and go to command in person, Huang and He took the mission, they were all old servants, and they were ready to go in more than an hour.
It wasn't until this time that Shen Zangfeng remembered his younger brother who was hanging out, called Shen Yongkun to him, said a few words lightly, and said a few words that the family also missed him, and asked him if he had any major problems in Xiliang, so he ordered him to stay with the army and wait for the results of the competition between Shen Xuan and Shen Zhou and other princes in the court.
Regarding Shen Yongkun's euphemistic request to go back to Beijing to relax and relax first, Shen Zangfeng refused without even thinking about it...... Poor Shen Yongkun watched with grievances as his brother's family boarded the car and left......
On the way back, Shen Shuguang was firmly tired of being in his mother's arms, watching his father flattering his mother all the way either quietly or blatantly, and deeply felt how wise it was for him to obey Brother Lobby's persuasion and exchange the monthly money he had saved for three months with Brother Lobby for "how to escape his father's or grandfather's cruel personal teachings and the unique secret of various inhumane punishments after causing trouble"!
What Brother Lobby said is simply right, as long as he pleases his mother, his father is a floating cloud!
Shen Shuguang, who felt that he was unparalleled in wit, was immersed in self-absorption that could not be promoted, but he did not realize that his father Shen Zangfeng also took advantage of his mother's inattention Wei Changying to throw a meaningful glance at him......
