marquis of jingan

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Yi left Huai'an and headed for Jiankang with a battalion of hundreds of households.

Before leaving, he also went to see Xue Wei once. Xue Wei's injuries are still not healed, but he can already walk on the ground, and there is no problem with eating. It's just that he hurts his vitality and needs to be taken care of slowly.

It will be better in spring next year.

After seeing that Xue Wei was fine, Shen Yi got into the carriage and set off for Jiankang.

The distance of four hundred miles, because it took eight or nine days to arrive in a carriage, at the gate of Jiankang City, Master Shen lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at Jiankang City not far away, and shrank again. When he came back, he looked at Ye Chan who was in the same car.

"You really don't want to go back with me?"

Ye Chan didn't speak, but just smiled at Shen Yi, smiling, with some tears in her eyes.

"The concubine wants to go home with the master..."

She grabbed Shen Yi's arm, wiped her tears on Shen Yi's sleeve, and said softly: "However, family affairs cannot be ignored like this. The concubine has to go home to settle down the old father and teach the younger brother well. and…"

She wiped away the tears that welled up again, and said softly: "Besides, the concubine is going home with the master now, it is nothing more than a decoration at home, the concubine..."

"I still want to have some use for the family."

After being together day and night for more than a month, Ye Chan's address to Shen Yi has changed from "Young Master" to "Master" before she knew it.

In comparison, they are a little closer, more like a family.

Shen Yi knew that she was weak on the outside but strong on the inside, so he nodded silently and sighed: "Since Chan'er doesn't want to go home with me, then we have no choice but to part here, it's just..."

"It's 20 days until the Chinese New Year."

"Can you make it back to Fuzhou a year ago?"

Master Shen sighed: "Don't make it difficult to celebrate the New Year on the road, it's so miserable."

"I know how to ride a horse."

Ye Chan narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "It's just that I don't ride often on weekdays. It's just to suffer a little more. I will definitely be able to go to Fuzhou a year ago."

Traveling in winter is a hard work, but riding a horse in winter is not as simple as suffering a little.

Shen Yi patted her on the head, and sighed softly: "It's too hard to travel, you will stay in Fuzhou in the future, don't go out again."

Ye Chan raised her head slightly, looked at the young man in front of her, and quietly moved her body closer.

"Master, will you visit me in Fuzhou?"

Master Shen rubbed the center of his brows, and said, "Next year...I'm afraid it won't work."

Next year is a very important year for Shen Yi. In his plan, next year his "Huai'an Army" will switch from defense to offense.

Even if it is a partial counterattack, it must be counterattacked.

Therefore, for the whole of next year, Shen Yi will probably become very busy and have no time to spare.

Ye Chan sat a little closer, put her arms around Shen Yi's neck, and gently bit Master Shen's earlobe.

"That…"

"If the concubine gives birth to the master next year, won't the master go to Fuzhou?"

In the past month or so, the number of times the two of them had intercourse was quite a lot.

It wouldn't be surprising if she was pregnant.

It's just that if you get pregnant before you are married, you will inevitably be poked in the back and scolded bloody.

Shen Yi hugged her and said with a smile: "You lied to me again, Jiang Sheng told me that you were secretly taking medicine."

"That's a recipe."

Ye Chan bit her lips lightly, her eyes were a little apprehensive: "No one knows if it will work or not."

"Master, if I have a body, I won't be able to stay in Fuzhou any longer."

"Ah."

Shen Yi nodded silently, and said: "After you go back, if you notice it, write to me, and I will ask someone to take you back to Jiankang's house."

"If you are a family with a daughter, if you get pregnant out of wedlock, I'm afraid you will be chased and scolded by those gossips in Fuzhou."

Ye Chan nodded, she lay beside Shen Yi's ear, and said with a soft smile, "Master, I haven't put on makeup today, lest my master go back and make it difficult for my sister."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Shen Yi to speak, she let go of Shen Yi and smiled with tears in her eyes: "It's getting late, don't delay the master's entry into the city, I will get out of the car right now..."

Shen Yi looked at Miss Ye, then shook his head slowly.

"I'll go down, and you can go back to Fuzhou in this carriage."

After the two had a private conversation, Master Shen jumped out of the carriage and was about to go to another carriage.

In the carriage compartment, the stove was lit, but there was no stove outside. As soon as Shen Yi jumped out of the carriage, the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month rushed towards his face, hitting him directly in the face.

Facing the cold wind, Master Shen raised his head and glanced at Jiankang City in front of him.

Jiankang City stands in the cold wind. Even if you don’t enter the city, you can still see people coming and going, bustling and bustling, even if you just stand at the gate of the city. Many vendors set up stalls at the gate of the city, selling some lanterns Gadgets like firecrackers.

Jiankang City's new year flavor is getting stronger.

Shen Yi stood where he was, without moving for a long while.

Because of the Jiankang city ahead, the fireworks are too heavy.

Let him, a "veteran" who has been fighting hard for several months, feel as if he has passed away.

After being silent for a while, Shen Yi turned around and waved to Miss Ye who poked her head out behind her and looked at him. Then, with both hands in her sleeves, she turned her head and strode towards Jiankang City.

The cold wind blew on him, making his clothes rattle.

Not far away, Jiang Sheng chased Shen Yi with small steps, and shouted: "Master, the car next to you is ready for you."

Shen Yi didn't even look back.

"I want to go for a while."

"Do not bother me."

………………

Shen house.

Shen Yi, who had just returned to Shen's house, saw his wife Lu Ruoxi in the backyard at noon. Mrs. Shen was already eight months old and close to nine months old, and her belly was already swollen.

The couple hadn't seen each other for half a year. After meeting, after meeting, they had endless conversations with each other. The couple stayed in the room for more than an hour and didn't come out until sunset. Well, the husband and wife walked out of the room.

Master Shen hugged his eldest son Shen Yuan and walked to the dining room. At this moment, the old master Shen Zhang and Tanhua Lang Shen Heng were there, and the family finally got together and had a reunion dinner.

After eating, Shen Heng found Shen Yi who was playing with his son in the backyard.

Seeing Shen Heng walking over, Shen Yuan got up from Shen Yi's back, and smiled at Shen Heng: "Uncle."

Shen Heng rubbed his little head, and said with a smile: "Go to the front yard to play with your Aunt Lian, and uncle will talk to your father."

Shen Yi didn't spend much time at home, but Shen Heng was often at home. The uncle and nephew were very familiar with each other. Hearing this, Shen Heng nodded in agreement. After looking back at his father, he went to the front yard to play.

After the baby left, Master Shen sat down under the pavilion and stretched himself.

Shen Heng stepped forward and sat down opposite Shen Yi. He looked Shen Yi up and down, frowned and said, "Brother is injured, isn't he?"

Shen Yi was a little surprised, opened his eyes and looked at Shen Heng, and said with a smile, "How did Zichang know?"

"I saw it when I was copying documents in the Imperial Academy."

Shen Yi smiled dumbly: "Nonsense, I didn't write that I was injured in the paperwork, and you kid has failed in school, so you came to cheat your elder brother."

Shen Heng frowned and said, "It's not the document that Eldest Brother wrote to the court, but the document from Zhongshu. It is clearly written in the document. Eldest Brother's right shoulder is injured, and the wound exceeds a foot."

"The wound is long, not deep."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "It's just a minor injury, it's normal to fight outside."

He coughed, and said to Shen Heng: "I haven't told your sister-in-law about this, but sharing the same bed, I can't hide it from her, but my son often has to help me hide it from my father. Brother, there are still many things to do next year." There are important things to do, and you can't let him know."

Shen Heng nodded silently, then clenched his fists, a little angrily.

"Eldest brother has done so many things for the court, and he was injured because of it. Today, elder brother is still in court, and there is no one from the entire court, including the Ministry of War, to greet him!"

"It's really chilling!"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Shen Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "I was ordered to supervise the army in Huai'an. Now that the war in Huai'an is over, and there is no edict to Huai'an, I shouldn't have come back as a brother. When I come back at this time, I have already left my post without authorization. How can there be any reason for anyone to come to welcome me? "

Shen Heng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, suddenly Jiang Sheng ran over in a hurry, came to Shen Yi, lowered his head and said, "My lord!"

He saluted Shen Heng again: "Young Master Ninth."

Shen Yi smiled.

"Is someone coming from the palace?"

It had been half a day since he returned to the city, and the palace only came to look for him at this time, relatively speaking, it was considered very slow.

Jiang Sheng nodded.

"Two father-in-laws have come, please invite the young master into the palace."

Master Shen stood up and stretched.

"Fortunately, finally let me have a meal with my family."
