CHAPTER XXXI
Shen Yanxin likes children very much, and before she got married, she often held Ah Ping in her arms and teased her, but now the child she held in her arms can already walk, and she still stands in front of her and calls her aunt, and she feels a lot of emotion for a while. Holding Ah Ping in his arms and carefully looking at Ah Ping's delicate little face, Shen Yanxin asked with a smile: "Xiao Ping'er, do you remember your aunt?
Ah Ping listened to Shen Yanxin's words, staring at Shen Yanxin's face with big watery eyes, and only after a while did he blink his eyes and say innocently: "Fifth aunt, Ping'er doesn't remember!"
Everyone else was amused by Xiao Ping'er's serious appearance, Shen Yanxin grinned, this kid was really honest, and said to Shen Yanling: "Three of me am sad, I feel so sorry for Xiao Ping'er, why doesn't Xiao Ping'er remember me." ”
"Hehe, the child has a bad memory, Ah Ping was so young at that time, where can he remember people? Fifth sister, don't be angry. Ning Er smiled when she heard this.
Shen Yanling shook her head, "You're all married, how can you still be like a child, you like children, just give birth to one yourself." ”
"The third brother is right. The third brother and sister-in-law came from afar, and they must have been tired, so hurry into the house, don't always stand outside. Yunqiao took over the conversation.
"Yes, yes, the third brother and sister-in-law come in. Third brother, why didn't you come to the capital to tell us, and we can go out of the city to pick you up?" Shen Yanxin was shocked to realize that he had not invited Shen Yanling's family to enter the door, and he was a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly let Ning'er's family in.
"Isn't this just to surprise you! Your third brother came to Beijing to catch the exam this time, so we will also come over to see what this capital of the country is like. Ning'er smiled.
Yunqiao led Shen Yanling's family to the living room of the Hou Mansion and explained: "Mother went to the Prime Minister's Mansion today, and she is not in the mansion, you don't have to be restrained, just be in your own home." Shen Yanling's family sat down and ordered someone to bring tea and snacks, and then asked about Yutang, Shen Yanling's family didn't have such a daughter last time.
"Yutang is the daughter-in-law that Xianggong found for Ah Zheng. Ning Er explained with a smile that she did not hide Yutang's family background.
Shen Yanxin looked at Yunqiao, Yunqiao smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just a fourth-grade official, they just settle down, otherwise, my niece and daughter-in-law of Dingbei Hou are not bullied at will." ”
"Uncle, Yutang is Ah Zheng's sister, not a daughter-in-law, Ah Zheng wants to marry a daughter-in-law like Xiao Yun. Ah Zheng was unhappy when he heard this, and pouted.
Yutang raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't want to marry me, I don't want to marry you yet!" Hmph, there are many good men in the world, do you think I will hang myself on your tree?"
Yunqiao was happy when he saw this, and said to Shen Yanling and his wife: "These two children are interesting. After a pause, he said: "This year is the year of the big exam, and many candidates came to Beijing before the Chinese New Year, and now there are more, and it is difficult to find another place to live, so it is better to live in the house! There are not many people in the Hou Mansion, except for our husband and wife, there is only one master of my mother, you can live with peace of mind." ”
Shen Yanling smiled gently: "Then we're welcome, I'm afraid we'll have to disturb some days in the house!"
"Where, Yan misses his family, it is naturally good for you to live, and my mother also hopes that the family can be lively, besides, my mother likes children the most, and she will be happy if you live in the house. Yunqiao said sincerely.
"The third brother and sister-in-law have also worked hard along the way, why don't I take you to rest first, and let someone send some food later, and wash the dust for you tomorrow." Shen Yanxin saw that Ah Zheng and Ah Ping were tired, so he smiled.
"It's okay, it's really tiring to travel for more than 20 days. Ning Er said, and followed Shen Yanxin out of the door, and Shen Yanling talked to Yunqiao.
When only Shen Yanling and Yunqiao were left in the living room, Yunqiao looked at Shen Yanling and smiled mysteriously: "Third brother, or, I should call Shenmen Master, don't come unharmed!"
Shen Yanling's face stiffened when she heard this, but she didn't refute it, and said: "Brother-in-law is really extraordinary, how did you see my identity, I asked myself if I hid it well." ”
"Didn't the third brother send Master Jiang to my house? It was a handwritten letter from the third brother, but unfortunately Yanxin's words were five points similar to the third brother, so I guessed it. Originally, I felt that the third brother's identity was unusual, but I didn't want the third brother to be the master of the secret door. Yunqiao explained.
Shen Yanling nodded, mentioned Uncle Jiang, and asked, "How is Uncle Jiang?"
"You still don't feel at ease here, not to mention that he doesn't have your people around him to protect him secretly?" Yunqiao asked with a smile.
"That's good, this time I came to Beijing for the exam, but by the way, I want to end Ning'er's matter. Shen Yanling said lightly, "Besides, it is said that someone has recently intended to contact me, the master of the secret door, so why should I show my face." ”
"Is it? Could it be that there was really an inside story behind the robbery and murder case back then? But is it sure to expose them?" Although Yunqiao is in favor of Shen Yanling to solve this trouble as soon as possible, Shangguan Shuiyuan is the princess of the Phoenix Kingdom, and there is no one who knows her in Jinlong, unless someone from the Phoenix Kingdom comes, it is difficult for them to prove that the queen is pretending.
"Naturally, there are witnesses, Shangguan Shui has come to the Golden Dragon, and he is now in the capital. Shen Yanling said, "But this time he is a golden dragon who secretly came through the power of Liuyun Villa, I'm afraid he won't be able to come to see you." ”
"Shui Yu came to Beijing? But how could he have something to do with Liuyun Villa?" "Phoenix and Jinlong both have martial arts forces in the rivers and lakes, just like Phoenix's Liuyun Villa and Jinlong's Tingfeng Tower, the rivers and lakes have always been in harmony with the well water of the imperial court, but the forces of the rivers and lakes must not be underestimated.
"Don't you know? Shui Tong is the young master of Liuyun Mountain Villa. Shen Yanling said, "Princess Yue is the eldest lady of Liuyun Villa, the only daughter of the old owner, and it is not surprising that Liuyun Villa was handed over to Ah Yan. Glancing at Yunqiao, Shen Yanling smiled again: "Let's stay for a few days, I have a place to live in the capital, you don't have to worry about not being able to support us." ”
"What did the third brother say, is my Murong Yunqiao that kind of person?" said Yunqiao with some anger.
"That's not what I mean, I still have a lot of things to deal with, and it's not convenient to live with you. Shen Yanling explained.
Yunqiao thought that Shen Yanling was the master of the secret gate, and most of the things he had to deal with were very secretive, and it was really inconvenient to live in the Hou Mansion, so he didn't say much.
On the other side, Ning Er followed Shen Yanxin and the children to the backyard, and the three children looked curiously at the garden of the Hou Mansion. Shen Yanxin asked about her parents in her hometown, and when she heard Ning'er talk about their thoughts and worries about her, she couldn't help but have slightly red eyes, and said to Ning'er: "I really want to go home to see my father, this has been more than half a year, and I miss my father and mother too." In the past, when I was by my father's side, I only thought that my father didn't talk much, my mother nagged, and only after I got married did I know the hardships of my father. ”
Ning Er smiled and said, "Don't be like this, when you have a chance, let your brother-in-law accompany you back to visit your parents." By the way, you are doing well in this house, but is it difficult for your brother-in-law and mother-in-law?"
"My husband and my mother are very good to me, especially my mother, who taught me everything, and if I was bullied when I went out, my mother protected me. Mother is a very-lovely mother. Shen Yanxin didn't seem to be able to think of how to describe her mother-in-law, and finally said cute.
"Cute?" For her mother-in-law, most of her comments were kind or harsh, but it was the first time she heard that her mother-in-law was cute, and Ning Er couldn't help but be curious about this old lady.
Looking at Ning Er's curious eyes, Shen Yanxin didn't explain, only said that she understood when she saw it. Ning Er didn't ask again.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of talking, Ning Er was startled, and looked in the direction where the sound came from, but saw a woman in green supporting an old man sitting in the garden. Shen Yanxin followed Ning'er's eyes, and saw Uncle Jiang, who lived at home, and his goddaughter who came with him talking in the courtyard, so he explained to Ning'er: "That's Uncle Jiang and his goddaughter, temporarily living in the mansion, third sister-in-law, is there anything wrong?"
"Luoxia. Ning'er whispered and walked quickly towards them.
Luo Xia felt that someone was approaching, and hurriedly turned around, "Master-" Although Luo Xia has always been steady, when she saw her master, who had been missing for six years, she couldn't calm down, and suddenly pounced in front of Ning Er.
Ning Er looked at the familiar face and said softly, "Luoxia, it's great that you're okay." ”
"Master, great, the master is fine, it's Luoxia's fault, he failed to protect the master, please punish the master. Luo Xia was also very excited to see Ning'er, but she still didn't forget to ask for sin.
Ning Er pulled Luo Xia in front of her, looked at Luo Xia's face carefully, and said after a while: "Everyone is fine, it's really good, I've seen Qiushui and the blue bird, and now that I see you safe, I can finally feel at ease." But, Luoxia, why are you here?"
Luo Xia explained: "Master, this is my godfather, I collected evidence from the year and was hunted down, it was my godfather who saved me and recognized me as my daughter." Later, someone sent us here, and it was the Hou Ye and his wife who took us in. ”
Ning'er went to see Uncle Jiang at this time, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Uncle Jiang!"
"Grandpa Jiang!" shouted Ah Zheng, who came over.
"Hey, third sister-in-law, do you know Uncle Jiang?" asked Shen Yanxin in surprise.
At this time, Ning Er remembered that after the secret door found Uncle Jiang, Shen Yanling ordered someone to send Uncle Jiang to the capital, and it was normal for him to be here. "Uncle Jiang lived at home for a few days last year, so I met. Ning Er regained her usual expression and said to Shen Yanxin.
"Ning'er, your family came to the capital, but Yanling decided to join the government?" Uncle Jiang picked up Ah Zheng and asked Ning'er.
Ning'er nodded, pulled Ah Ping in front of her, and introduced Uncle Jiang: "Uncle Jiang, this is Ah Ping." ”
Uncle Jiang looked at Ah Ping, who was still a baby in his arms at the time, and now he had learned to walk, standing in front of him, his delicate little face looking at him with curiosity. At that time, when he was at Shen Yanling's house, he was very fond of this child, and now looking at him, Uncle Jiang still feels very sorry for this child.
The reason why Ning Er seriously introduced Ah Ping to Uncle Jiang was because Ah Ping was likely to be Uncle Jiang's own grandson, and he hoped that Ah Ping could get closer to Uncle Jiang.
After talking for a while, Ning'er took the child and went to rest first. Shen Yanxin arranged Ning'er's family in a quiet courtyard, and asked people to prepare water for Ning'er and them to wash the dust, and then sent food over.
Shen Yanling and Yunqiao chatted for a long time before coming back, and Ning Er had already freshened up, hugged Ah Ping, and gave him the peeled fruit to eat. Seeing Shen Yanling coming back, he asked him to freshen up and eat later.
Because considering that Shen Yanling's family was tired from the journey, Shen Yanxin specially ordered to prepare light and nutritious meals to be delivered, and they did not come to disturb.
I was really tired this day, and after eating, Ning'er watched the three children fall asleep before returning to the room. Shen Yanling was half-lying on the bed, dressed in a white Chinese medicine doctor, with black hair scattered around casually, holding a book in her hand, her posture was lazy and natural, but her bright and excessive face was even more charming, and Ning Er, who was used to seeing her husband's beauty, was also slightly stunned.
Shen Yanling noticed Ning Er entering the house, raised her head, put down the book and beckoned to Ning Er. Ning Er smiled, naturally lay down in Shen Yanling's arms, and said with a sneer: "My husband is getting more and more beautiful, so I have to worry about my husband being spied on." ”
Shen Yanling took Ning Er into her arms, blew lightly in Ning Er's ear, and said in a low voice: "There is only one lady in the husband's heart, and the lady can naturally understand it." ”
Ning Er's body trembled slightly, twisted uneasily in Shen Yanling's arms, and said in a low voice: "How do you feel it?"
Shen Yanling smiled evilly, lowered her head and kissed Ning'er's lips, and said vaguely: "Being a husband will naturally let the lady understand the Tao." With that, a strong wind blew out the lights in the house.
