"Yes!" Huai'an replied crisply.

After Shen Yuzhong became a sergeant, the hereditary military position naturally fell to Shen Lu's head, and the fourth rank commanded the affairs and was also considered a senior military attaché. He gave birth to a son Shen Huaiyuan, two daughters Huaiying and Huaiwei, the daughters were raised in the old mansion like Huai'an, and Huaiyuan and Huaiming studied together in Bailu Academy, and this time they all rushed back for their grandfather's funeral.

After chatting a few words, everyone sat down in turn.

Master Shen has not passed a hundred days, the banquet is full of vegetarian food, no one laughs during the banquet, only the slight sound of cups and plates colliding.

A light diet is the most healthy, but it is too bland and tasteless for children, and the older ones can barely pretend to be one, and the younger ones are living and suffering. Shen Huai'an has always loved meat, and after only a few bites, he said that he was full, he was so sleepy that he wanted to go back to his room to make up for sleep.

Xu Tinglan's eyes widened slightly, as if to warn him to sit and not to be picky.

Chen immediately answered and said, "An'er is tired, it's time to take a nap at this time." ”

Everyone present looked at the sun outside the door, it was the three poles of the sun......

Xu Tinglan glanced at her husband again, the meaning was very obvious, she wanted to take back the custody of her youngest son, immediately.

She can't offend her mother-in-law by saying this kind of thing in person.

Shen Yu immediately understood, put down his chopsticks, and said to Chen: "Mother, Huai'an is not young, he still lives in the main house, and it is not proper to mess with his sisters all day long, so let's move to our yard today." ”

Huai'an's dark eyes trembled, what?!

"It's only five years old, where is it not a system?" Chan politely refused.

Shen Yu said quietly: "Huaiming has already lived in a separate room when he is four or five years old, so it's better not to be too pampered by boys." ”

As we all know, my wife has never been able to be the master of the uncle.

In other words, Huai'an will leave his grandmother from now on and beg for a life under the nose of his "fierce father".

How thin is the sky and me! That is, what is the father!

But he was too young to have a say at all.

After this incident, the adults talked about some other things, such as how to place and preserve the pen and ink in the grandfather's collection during his lifetime.

The little body was sleepy, and accidentally fell asleep, he leaned to the side, and fell into a warm embrace in a daze.

In his sleep, he was carried back to the soft bed, wiped his face with a hot towel, and covered it with a muslin satin quilt with the warm smell of the sun.

Half-asleep and half-awake, I heard my father and mother talking.

Xu Tinglan said: "In the next year, I'm afraid I will have to live in a simple place...... Xianggong must remember that the fetus in this womb must not be publicized. ”

"What are you afraid of, we have a clear conscience and are not afraid of people's words."

Xu Tinglan shook his head: "As the saying goes, three people become tigers, and they accumulate and destroy bones. If others want to make a big fuss, they won't study in detail what day you have sex, but only that if you have children during the mourning period, you can participate in several books. ”

Shen Yu didn't answer.

Xu Tinglan continued: "Quietly give birth to this child, keep quiet, and wait for the mourning period, who can tell if the child is two years old or two and a half years old?" ”

Good guy, in a word, add half a year to the child's life......

Shen Yu didn't know if he listened to her heart, but responded to her with a smile: "I listen to you." ”

Huai'an woke up suddenly, closed his eyes and eavesdropped.

The husband and wife are clearly three books and six hires, and the Ming media are marrying, why do they talk like adultery?

It is no wonder that he was incomprehensible for a while, the ancients attached great importance to filial piety, and the scholars and scholars who were well versed in the way of Confucius and Mencius were especially serious, and if the officials were in office, if their parents died, no matter what official or position they held, they must step down and return to their ancestral hometown, and keep the system for their parents for three years, to be precise, twenty-seven months.

Although most people will not really go to the cemetery to live in a house, they must not feast or hold celebrations, and husbands and wives must have separate rooms and cannot have intercourse.

The couple received an obituary for the funeral, and returned to their hometown for the funeral in the starry night, but as soon as they returned to Anjiang County, they found that they were more than two months pregnant.

It's a little awkward.

In ancient times, there was no medical imaging equipment to assist in judging the gestational age, and if it was arranged and used by someone with a heart, even if it was full of mouth, it would not be able to explain it.

Xu Tinglan reminded her husband to be as low-key as possible, and more things are better than less.

After saying this, the husband and wife turned their eyes back to Huai'an.

Shen Yu said again: "I don't know if it hurts, ......."

Xu Tinglan quipped: "It doesn't hurt to beat, what are you doing beating him?" ”

As she spoke, she gently lifted his trousers and stroked the two red marks on her knees.

"I was really scared by him. This child was spoiled by the whole family when he was a child, and he was used to being arrogant, so he had to be afraid. Shen Yu said a cruel word, looked at his son's delicate and white face sideways, and secretly felt distressed: "When I am angry in the future, you will stop me a little." ”

"How?" Xu Tinglan said: "I'm also angry!" ”

When it comes to educating their sons, the couple are always surprisingly consistent.

"That's right." Shen Yu sighed, his hands were itchy for a while, and he couldn't help but reach out and pinch Huai'an's white and slightly red face: "I'm still asleep and well-behaved." ”

"My son is handsome, and he will definitely be an elegant and handsome son in the future." Xu Tinglan said.

Shen Yu will focus on the key points: "It's also my son." ”

Xu Tinglan's apricot eyes widened slightly, like a girl competing for toys: "I was born naturally my son!" ”

"It's you," Shen Yu looked serious, "It's also me." ”

The two argued over an inexplicable thing, and their voices grew louder, Huai'an was so noisy that he wrinkled his brows and snorted, and turned his back.

The maid Yunling and Tiandong entered the door lightly, asking the grandmother when to move.

"There's everything in the courtyard over there, just a few things he's used to." Xu Tinglan said: "Lighter." ”

The two of them were carrying things inside and outside the house, along with the three maids in the main courtyard.

When they were almost moved, only the bunk under Huai'an's body was left, so they asked the grandfather and grandmother to take Young Master An to the east courtyard.

Shen Yu ordered in a deep voice: "Let people go to the street to buy some pastries and fruits, the food at home is too vegetarian, and you will be hungry when you wake up from a nap." ”

Xu Tinglan was speechless: "Who hated it just now and gritted his teeth, and now he is distressed." ”

"You're right, it's not me." Shen Yu said, bent down hard, and picked up Shen Huai'an: "It's my ancestor." ”

"Hey~" Huai'an didn't know what he heard, but he responded vaguely.

Xu Tinglan couldn't straighten up with a smile.

Shen Yu looked helpless: "Yes, get up and drive the ancestor."

Chapter 3

Speaking of which, Huai'an is indeed a "left-behind child", but a left-behind child who is idle and wealthy.

When he was born, his father was admitted to the Jinshi, the third place in the first class, and stayed in the Hanlin Academy in Beijing, the people in the capital are complicated, and he needs his mother's help to take care of him, Xu Tinglan had to run between his hometown in the capital, and occasionally took him to the capital to live for half a month, but because he was too young, he only had some fragments of his impression of his father Shen Yu.

For example, last year, when he went to live in the capital on the night of Shangyuan, Shen Yu carried him on his shoulders to watch the spark lantern, guessed the lantern riddle and won a bag of snowflake cakes, which made his mother smile, his mother was happy, the whole family was happy, and the husband and wife returned home to compose poems on the moon, gamble books and cook tea, and the two brothers were exempt from inspection for a day's homework.

He still remembers the city of Beijing in winter, which was as cold as a big ice hole, and sometimes the kang was not yet warm, and all the soup women and thick quilts were in vain. Shen Yu had a way, took out a small group of sons who were sleeping soundly on the small bed, stuffed them into the quilt, and said with a smile: "The big fat boy has a lot of firepower, and he can warm his father and mother." ”

He has always slept well, he doesn't cry when he rubs it casually, and he can continue to sleep with a sigh.

Compared with his father Shen Yu, Huai'an knows more about his mother.

In the limited cognition of modern people in later generations, most women in ancient times were confined to boudoirs, and there were only two ways to live well: one was born to be a good family as a pearl in the palm of their hands; The second is to marry a good man who is knowledgeable and has a solid family background as a wife.

But Xu Tinglan undoubtedly broke this perception.

She was born in a wealthy merchant family, although she also read poetry and books, which is not very different from the ladies of the hairpin family. After marriage, her mind is mostly used to take care of the family's shops, fields, and estates, and her business skills are first-class. Within a few years, the ancestral house was renovated twice, doubled in size, and some industries were also placed in a place like the capital, where every inch of land was valuable.

This point is not particularly obvious to Huai'an, and Shen Huaiming may have more experience.

And those things that make people go to the back house of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Xu Tinglan mostly threw her husband a look and asked Shen Yu to charge for her.

Huai'an firmly believes that a woman like her mother, even if she is born in an ordinary family, even if she does not rely on her husband, she will definitely have something to do.

Thinking about it this way, my father and mother are still good, with strong genes, and love and harmony, but they just look a little strict.

"Get up when you wake up, don't pretend to be asleep."

A deep voice rang out overhead, pulling Huai'an's thoughts back to reality.

He opened one eye first, then the other, staggered up, sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, and shouted in that milky little voice, "Daddy." ”

Reach out and don't hit the smiley person.

Shen Yu's face really softened a lot.

Only then did he take a closer look at the father in front of him, this is Tanhualang! If it is really like a crown of jade, his eyes are like Lang Xing, although he is dressed in plain linen, he still can't hide his outstanding bearing and demeanor.

Standing all year round, he looks like he is only in his twenties.

No wonder people say that Tanhua is not necessarily the most knowledgeable among the fellow scholars, but it must be the most handsome......

Looking around, my mother must have gone back to the room to rest, and my father was watching him read in the Westinghouse.

Father and son sat at each other with wide eyes.

They don't know each other well yet, and they haven't seen each other for more than a year. The capital and Anjiang County are far apart, and a short reunion may warm up for a few days, but once separated, it will soon become unfamiliar again.

"Where's the gold cleats around your neck?" Shen Yu asked suddenly.

Shen Huai'an looked down at his empty chest, where was there any gold cleat? But there is indeed such a thing in my impression, the heavy wishful long-life lock, I don't know when I lost it.

His heart tightened, and he said timidly, "I don't know...... Lost somewhere. ”

It's not a big deal for a child to lose something. Looking at his son's cautious appearance, Shen Yu smiled a little, took a plate of snacks from the side and put it on the table: "Are you hungry?" ”

Inside the plate was a golden pretzel, with minced meat in the cake, and the fresh fragrance wafting out made Huai'an, who had not seen meat for many days, salivate.

"Daddy eats first." Huai'an is very sensible.

"Dad is still filial piety, and he can't eat meat." Shen Yu said: "You can eat it yourself." ”

"But...... I can't eat it. Shen Huai'an said.

"You are still young, and it is not a sin for those who do not know." Shen Yu said lightly.

……

It was the first time Shen Huai'an saw someone open his eyes and say such a serious nonsense, but when it came to this, he had no need to excuse himself, so he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside, salty and fragrant, and his limbs and veins were comfortable.

Looking at his delicious eyebrows and eyes, Shen Yu stretched out his hand and wiped the dim sum scum from the corner of his mouth: "It's really your mother's son, he likes salty and sweet too." ”
