Chapter 351: Eat the reunion dinner
Thinking that Lin Shuran might have a strangeness to him, Xu Junze leaned closer to her, and there was a hint of teasing in his magnetic voice: "You don't even know your husband?" So, don't you know? ”
As he spoke, Xu Junze stepped forward and kissed him, kissing him with warm lips, Lin Shuran opened his eyes suddenly, blinked vigorously, Xu Junze did not disappear, and then smiled in surprise: "Are you really back?!" I'm not dreaming! ”
At this moment, Xu Junze understood why Lin Shuran woke up and didn't want to open her eyes just now, it turned out that she thought she was dreaming when she came back, if she didn't read him to the bone, how could she be afraid that she wouldn't wake up from the dream and not see him.
"I'm back, you're not dreaming!" Xu Junze continued to kiss again, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Don't speak, let me kiss first!" ”
After a few months of separation, Xu Junze's words made Lin Shuran's cheeks blush instantly, so the two of them stayed warm in bed for a while, but after all, it was the first day of the New Year, and the children were waiting outside to celebrate the New Year.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone in the General's Mansion finally got together for a reunion dinner, but the position of Xu Mingyuan, the fifth elder at the dinner table, was empty, and everyone's mood was also a little sad, and the meal didn't seem to be so delicious.
"I wonder if the fifth brother has anything delicious today?" Lao Jiu Xu Mingsong can't walk when he sees delicious food on weekdays, but today he can't eat happily in the face of a table full of delicacies and an empty chair with dishes and chopsticks added but no one sitting.
Everyone glanced at Xu Mingyuan's empty chair, before they didn't think that there would be anything special about a family gathering at the same table to eat, but now that there is such a person missing, they just feel very uncomfortable in their hearts.
"Let's all eat!" Xu Junze came back from Suzhou, and he also knew in his heart that from such a high cliff falling down the rushing river, Xu Mingyuan had little hope of living, and the reason why his body had not been found was that he had either been buried in the belly of the fish, or he didn't know where he had been washed away.
Lin Shuran saw that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little bad, although she was also sad about Xu Mingyuan's absence, but the life still had to go on, so she said: "You fifth brother don't look like he usually doesn't like to talk, in fact, he is bold, he even dared to lead troops to surround the embassy post house twice, there are still things in this world that are difficult for him, even if he doesn't eat big fish and meat at this time, he will definitely be able to feed himself." ”
"Mother is right, the fifth brother is amazing, he is the fastest and best among us, and even if a person enters the deep mountains, he can survive, my mother has taught us the art of survival in the wild, I think the fifth brother may be roasting pheasants in a cave at this time!" Xu Minghao raised his head and said with a smile.
I have to say that Xu Minghao at this time was really a bit prescient, but Xu Mingyuan didn't roast pheasants in a cave to eat, but was caught by a wild man in the mountains and raised as a monkey, and what he ate was not roasted pheasants, but torn sashimi with blood.
Next, several children of the Xu family began to talk nonsense, and the reunion dinner gradually became cheerful, as if Xu Mingyuan was really fine, but he was just temporarily in trouble outside.
After the queen mother and the emperor knew that Xu Junze had returned, they asked him to accompany Lin Shuran who was about to give birth at home, not only the palace banquet, but also the banquets of other mansions, and he and Lin Shuran did not have to participate, seeing that the day of Lin Shuran's birth was approaching.
On the second day of the first lunar month, Xu Junze escorted Lin Shuran and took Xu Mingchen back to Taifu's mansion, looking at Lin Shuran's big belly, Wen was also very nervous.
"Didn't your father and I send the news, you don't have to come back today, your body is already so bulky, count the days, is it going to be born in these two days?" Wen had already asked people to heat up the charcoal stove in the room, and put soft and thick cushions on the chair that Lin Shuran was going to sit on, and originally wanted to help her sit down carefully, but Lin Shuran refused.
"Mother, at the beginning of the new year, both of them went back to their parents' house, I naturally want to come back, and I have nothing to do with my body, Doctor Mei said that I and the child are very healthy!" In addition to not being able to walk as fast as usual and gaining some weight when pregnant, Lin Shuran feels that her current state is very good, and the most important thing is that Xu Junze is back, her mind is not so heavy, and she is a lot more cheerful.
"It's good to be healthy, it's good to be healthy!" Wen had always been worried that Xu Junze would not come back, and Lin Shuran's mood would be very affected, but now seeing the smile on her face, he was finally relieved.
After eating, Xu Mingchen and the others went to play with Lei Yan and Zhao Pei when they came out of Taifu's mansion, and Xu Junze and Lin Shuran took a few small ones back to the house, but they happened to meet Chen Jiayu's carriage on the way, and the two went to the teahouse next to them to chat for a while.
"Sister Chen, are you going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion today?" Chen Jiayu is returning from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and today is the day when her daughter gets married on the second day of the Lunar New Year and goes back to her parents' house to visit relatives, so Lin Shuran has this question.
Lin Shuran knew that Chen Jiayu's relationship with her mother's family was not very good, but listening to Chen Jiayu herself, she still maintained a superficial relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion over the years, after all, she also wanted the Prime Minister's Mansion as her mother's family as a "backer", and the Prime Minister's Mansion also needed her, the princess of the palace.
Chen Jiayu nodded, the smile on her face was always faint, she looked at Lin Shuran's belly, and asked softly, "It's about to give birth, right?" ”
Lin Shuran also nodded, at this time Chen Jiayu's eyes looking at her stomach were full of sourness and pain, although Chen Jiayu concealed it well, but Lin Shuran knew that she was thinking of the child she lost, and her child should have been born.
"Sister Chen, in fact, I have always wanted to ask you, are you willing to be my child's godmother?" Lin Shuran looked at Chen Jiayu and asked.
Chen Jiayu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Lin Shuran to say this, there was a light in her eyes, but it was only for a moment, and then she said with a wry smile: "Sister Shuran, I'm very grateful for you to say this, but I-" Chen Jiayu paused, and then said, "But I can't be the godmother of this child, it's not that I don't want to, but I can't, I can't harm this child, I'm an ominous person, a disaster star, it will only bring disaster to people, you and Yingying will stay away from me in the future!" ”
"Sister Chen, is something happening? Could it be that Zhao Xian hit you again? Or has your mother-in-law given you sins again? You tell me that the people in Prince Alcohol's Mansion are bullying you again? Chen Jiayu suddenly said such frustrating words, which made Lin Shuran immediately realize that something was wrong, and her intuition thought that she had returned to the palace and been bullied again.
