Shen Lanqing's return to the mansion brought a little more vitality to the Duke of Wei's mansion.

The steward at the gate rushed to the second gate. Seeing Shen Lanqing, Shen Fang ran into the yamen to report to Shen Shuo without saying a word. Shen Shangkun, who came back from the play, looked at Shen Lanqing, who was in a bad mood but in good spirits, and knelt down to say hello to him. Say hello three times in a row: "Okay, okay, just come back."

Shen Yue was guarding the second gate. When he saw Shen Lanqing, his eyes were red and he said: "My son suffered a catastrophe once he left Beijing. Starting today, my son will never leave Beijing again."

On the contrary, it was Shen Geng who said goodbye to the newlyweds, supported Shen Yue with lowered eyebrows, and didn't say much, and he didn't see much joy in his delicate eyebrows and eyes. Shen Lanqing was slightly relieved.

After entering the mansion, wash away the dust all the way.

Properly greeted grandfather Shen Shangkun and mother Shen Yueshi again, and offered incense to ancestors and ancestors, Shen Lanqing returned to Guiyuan.

In the main landlord's room of the Guiyuan, the six-month-old son was crawling around, Lian Xin was standing on the edge of the kang carefully protecting her, when she heard the maid outside knocking on the curtain to say hello, she turned around and gave her a blessing with low eyebrows. Then I hurried to look at the little monkey struggling to climb up the edge of the Kang.

The little monkey Yiyi crawled to Shen Gengshi's side and pulled the fox fur on Shen Gengshi's cuff. Only then did Shen Gengshi regain his senses from the book, glared at his naughty son, put down the scroll, got up, and calmly I greeted Shen Lanqing: "When will my husband return to the room? Hurry up to the kang to warm up, and I will make you a cup of ginseng tea."

"I just entered the house, madam doesn't need to be busy. I just had a full stomach of tea at my grandfather's, and my stomach is very full..." Supporting her elbows, Shen Lanqing smiled and helped Shen Gengshi back to the chair, and glanced at Shen Gengshi. In the middle of "A Floating Life", the smile on his lips became stronger, "It's been more than a year, Madam, you have worked hard."

"It's all my duty as a concubine, so I dare not say bitterness." Shen Geng smiled slightly, and his eyes fell on the son who was crawling on her while grabbing the hem of the bijia, with a touch of warmth, "I don't know who Songzi looks like, naughty tight."

"Being naughty is painful, don't you think Zhan Qing is spoiled by his grandfather?"

"I heard from my mother that my grandfather loves my husband the most..." Shen Geng smiled and hugged his son into his arms, and taught him to bow to Shen Lanqing, "The pine nut has been six months and 23 days old, and it has not yet been named. My father said that the daimyo should wait for the husband to return safely, and it will be up to the husband, you see..."

Shen Lanqing didn't say yes or no, but raised her hand to touch her son's bald forehead, rubbed it, and asked with a smile, "Pine nuts?"

"The nickname given by the queen."

"Out of the house to look at Nanshan, the pine tree is on the rock, the sword is on its back..." After muttering, Song Zi grabbed the back of his hand and stopped talking.

Dragging her soft paws and scratching the bridge of Songzi's short nose, Shen Lanqing sighed, "It is thanks to the pair of generals Mo Xie bestowed by Master that I was able to save myself this time, if not..."

"My husband is blessed with a deep destiny, and I will surely live a long life."

"I was a little emotional for no reason, but I made my wife laugh..." Shen Lanqing laughed, pinching her fleshy little paws to look at the lines on her palm, and said unhurriedly, "The word pine is really good, and it is destined for my son. This word It just so happens that the five elements belong to wood, which is in line with the naming rules of the children of our Shen family, so I shall call my son Shen Song."

"The grass of the morning glory will fall off at dawn; the luxuriance of pines and cypresses will not fade in the middle of winter..." Shen Geng replied with a smile, "This name is really good. If I can add another son, it would be just right to call it Shen Bai."

Shen Lanqing smiled and said nothing, but calmly teased the childish grinner.

Looking from the side, the gentlemen are gentle, the ladies are calm, and the childish and naughty, presenting a good family portrait.

Yanxiang waited at the door for half a stick of incense, and then broke the warmth with a voice: "Master, the master has returned home, and I call you to meet him in the big study in the front yard."

His heart tightened, and he pinched his pine nut pink and tender face calmly, and put on the mink cloak with Yanxiang's hands. Shen Lanqing looked at Shen Gengshi, and said in a calm and unhurried manner: "It's more than a year Seeing my father, I think my father has a lot to teach me, I don't know when he will come back, when the time comes, my wife will arrange it first, don't wait for me."

"These concubines are spared. Husband doesn't have to worry about it. Husband can go to see father at ease. Don't make father wait."

Between husband and wife, there is no lack of etiquette, and the words are considered intimate, but the words from the two people are always tepid, and there is really no warmth that newlyweds should have.

However, Shen Lanqing felt that this distance was just right.

My father saw him mostly in the inner study.

The few times I saw him in the study outside, all of them were reprimanded and instructed by the mother and grandfather behind the back of the inner house, and the content of the instruction...

All are related to my king.

When the cold wind picked up, Shen Lanqing tightened his collar, lowered his eyes and knocked on the door of the study outside: "Father."

"Come in." Knowing that going in would require some beating, however, hearing this tepid voice, he still only felt intimacy and peace of mind.

Send the boy carrying the lamp to the concierge to keep warm, go in and take the ink stick in Shen Xiaoqi's hand, grind the ink, quietly watch his father finish writing "Zhu Zi's Family Instructions", put down the pen, Shen Lanqing just picked it up The hem of the clothes knelt down to say hello.

Looking down at the thin son at his feet, Shen Shuo didn't call out, but just said: "Xiao Qi, go and see if the second master has settled down, if not, send the duck to the kitchen to heat it up, and give it to the second master." The master makes supper."

To be able to serve by the master's side at home, the ability to observe words and expressions is indispensable.

Shen Xiaoqi narrowed her eyes, cheerfully agreed to the promise and retreated out, and closed the door of the study very tactfully.

The purple gold censer, curling cigarettes, and the smell of agarwood my father used to fill the study.

Taking a deep breath silently, Shen Lanqing knelt straight on the ground, looked down at the simple and elegant dark lines on the hem of his father's clothes, listened to the sound of the steam on the tea stove opening the lid of the pot, and waited for his father to say goodbye.

In front of outsiders, although Shen Shuo had a gentle smile all day long and a humble and easy-going attitude, he was really not a good-tempered person in his bones.

Not to mention anything else, if it was Shen Rui who was kneeling at his feet at this moment, his kick would have kicked out with anger.

However, at this moment, the person kneeling at his feet was replaced by Shen Lanqing, and Shen Shuo's feet were planted on the ground, and he couldn't lift them up.

The father and son, kneeling and standing, both lowered their eyes, the son stared at the hem of his father's clothes, and the father stared at the top of his son's head, with exactly the same calm expression.

"Let's talk about the process of this expedition. Since leaving Beijing, nothing should be missed." After a long time of silent comparison, it was Shen Shuo who broke the silence first.

When his father finally asked, Shen Lanqing secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thought over his words, and slowly delivered the script that had already been typed, without hiding a single word, and clearly explained everything after leaving Beijing.

Even the matter of the monarch and his ministers breaking their sleeves was never concealed, not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't dare.

He knew his father's temper well.

Father would never aim at the target indiscriminately, and if he didn't already have a score in his heart, he would never ask questions.

Therefore, it is better to be frank than to hide the truth.

His son was so frank, Shen Shuo didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh, he clenched his hands behind his back, loosened his clenches, resisted the urge to slap his palm, and all the reproaches turned into a sigh: "I am I don’t know whether to be grateful for your master’s kindness, or to be disgusted with your master’s reckless actions.”

"Brother Lan, have you ever listened to your father's words?"

"The son dare not forget the father's words for a moment, and always remember them in his heart."

"I haven't forgotten it for half a moment..." Shen Shuo spoke very slowly, seemingly leisurely, more like hidden anger, "You can give such a big surprise to my father, if you forget, what are you going to do?"

"The son knows his mistake, please punish the father."

"My son fought the enemy bravely on the battlefield. He was brave and not afraid of death. He escaped death outside the border city and was well protected..." Shen Shuo bent his knees against Shen Lanqing's chin, forcing Shen Lanqing to raise his head and look at him, "If my son just As soon as I returned to the mansion, my father changed the family law, but you told my father..."

"How should Wei father come up with a high-sounding reason for those who stare at our Shen family?"

"And how to stop the mouths of the rich and powerful in Beijing?"

"After you go back to the room, how should you explain to the wife in your room who has tied the hair?"

Shen Lanqing pursed her lips and replied softly: "Father teaches son, there is no need for reason."

"That's an ordinary family..." Shen Shuo retracted his legs and sat in the grand teacher's chair, "Get up now, I won't punish you for my father..."

"This is the end of the matter. What happened outside the capital before? Being out of sight and out of mind for patriarchy, now that you're back in Beijing, you've got to accept that thought as soon as possible. The king is the king, and the minister is the minister. Don't get involved with anything else... ..."

"If you really only love masculinity, you can take Shen Yi or Xueying as you like. If it's not enough, I will allow you to raise two prostitutes as a father."

"Father..." Shen Lanqing still knelt upright, looked up at his father's eyes full of anger, and said lightly and firmly, "My heart is a rock, and I can't change it."

Shen Shuo laughed angrily: "To the point that he has lost your mind."

"Father, outside the border city this time, his arrow was blocked by his son. His son was almost killed by the emperor. It is only natural for a father to punish his son. No one can find fault..."

"I'll teach you to make good calculations. After this punishment, all the dignitaries in Beijing will know that he is willing to give up his life for you. At that time, the occasional rumors in private will become known to all courts... "Shen Shuo slowly closed his eyes, and sighed, "You don't care about him, but the Shen family still wants that shame cloth, and the Geng family can't afford to lose that man..."

"Just kneel down."
