First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 387 Sugarcane is not as sweet as the two ends

In the study room, Song Zixi calmly turned over the silver charcoal in the brazier with the fire chopsticks. The red firelight reflected his fair and handsome face, but he looked colder and colder.

The delicate handwriting on the paper was quickly reduced to ashes in the flames...

There was a sound of greetings outside the house, and soon Chang Shun walked in from outside, "Master, the Second Young Madam is here."

Song Zixi put down the torch, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, "Please come in."

Changshun quickly responded, and went out to invite Shen Shuyan to come in.

She has been pregnant for more than four months, but she has not yet conceived, and her figure is still light and slender as usual.Song Zixi took the food box from her hand and put it on the table, and helped her take off the cloak with his own hands, "It's freezing outside, and you're pregnant... why did you come to me if you didn't stay indoors obediently?" Are you here?" He said while holding her hand to keep her warm.

Shen Shuyan smiled sweetly, "Sister Ying was taken to play with Sister Guan... I have nothing to do when I am free, and it happened that the kitchen made lily and partridge soup today, and it tasted good, so I will give it to you as well." A little bit." While talking, he suddenly felt a little chilly on his body, looked around, and couldn't help wondering, "It's such a cold day, why do you still open the window?"

Song Zixi smiled lightly, "I've been in the room for a long time, and I'm a little dizzy, so I opened the window to refresh myself. If you don't tell me, I've already forgotten..." He went to close the window.

Shen Shuyan hurriedly pulled him back, "If it's like this, let's drive it... I'm just afraid that you will feel cold."

"You." Song Zixi nodded lovingly on her nose, "I'm not cold, aren't you cold too? What else can I see with my husband?" After finishing speaking, he walked over to close the window, and clicked again. Putting on a furnace of agarwood, he said with a smile, "Look, this is the same."

Shen Shuyan pursed her lips and smiled embarrassedly, "Thank you..." Then she opened the food box, filled a bowl of lily and partridge soup and handed it to him, "Drink it while it's hot...it won't taste good when it's cold."

Song Zixi took it and took a sip, "Don't you want it?"

"The concubine came here after eating...is it good to drink?"

Song Zixi smiled and nodded, "It's delicious." He ate slowly.

Shen Shuyan looked at him with a smile, "If you like, I can often come to give you gifts after I die..." She sighed lightly, and said with some melancholy, "It's just that you are too busy, even during the New Year's Eve. Endless things."

Song Zixi paused with the hand holding the spoon.

He didn't have any talent in reading, and took a false post in the Ministry of Officials because of his father's face. Now he helps the Duke's mansion manage the shop and some properties below.

Song Zixi stirred the soup slowly, and said with a light smile, "I'm not as good as big brother. I've been very smart since I was a child, and I can do everything well... I can only make up for my weakness with hard work." She smiled, but there was a bit of unconcealable loneliness between her brows.

Shen Shuyan looked at him quietly for a while, then got up and walked to Song Zixi's side, wrapping her arms around his neck, "No matter what others think... for the concubine and the children, you will always be the best."

Song Zixi put down the bowl, smiled and patted his wife's hand, "...I just felt it for a while." He pulled Shen Shuyan into his arms, and sighed softly, "Sugar cane is not as sweet as the two ends... Although my elder brother has been outstanding since he was a child, he was loved by his elders. We have high hopes, but because of this, he can't be his own master in many things..."

Shen Shuyan pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "You mean..."

Song Zixi stroked her slightly swollen belly, and smiled irrelevantly, "Do you think this is a girl as sweet and soft as sister Ying, or a naughty kid?"

When talking about the child in her stomach, Shen Shuyan's heart softened.Leaning in Song Zixi's arms, she said with a soft smile, "My concubine wants to give birth to a son for you..." Her state of mind is completely different from that of sister Huaiying three years ago, especially seeing that Song Zixun has been without a son for many years. The son was forced to take a concubine by the elders...

"You don't need to worry too much." Song Zixi seemed to have read her mind, and comforted her in a gentle voice, "We are not the eldest grandson and daughter-in-law, and we don't have as much pressure as the eldest brother and the others... Even if we don't have a son for a while, we don't have to be afraid of anything," he hugged Looking at her, she joked, "The big deal is to continue living in the future."

Shen Shuyan glared at him with a blushing face, but felt relieved in her heart.

I heard Song Zixi continue, "There's nothing wrong with being a girl... Sister Ying is too lonely by herself, you haven't seen how happy she is with Guan'er these days! The two girls are also very good as companions. "

Shen Shuyan nodded, her previous worries had been dispelled by Song Zixi's explanation, she smiled deeply and said, "Guan'er is indeed a good sister, although she is only two years older than Sister Ying, she is already very good at taking care of others. I think about her for everything delicious and fun... like a little grown-up. It would be great if our sister Ying grows up to be as sensible as her."

Song Zixi's eyes darkened, he nodded and smiled, "I will." He paused, "Sister Ying is too shy, she should learn more from her cousin."

Shen Shuyan couldn't help laughing, "Isn't it? I don't know who that little girl is following, her mouth is so sweet... Usually my father is a very serious person, but she also made her smile happily."

Song Zixi smiled dispiritedly, "Perhaps she looks like a sister-in-law... Big brother wasn't very talkative when he was young."

"It should be." Shen Shuyan nodded, thought for a while, and couldn't help but sigh, "When my concubine hadn't entered the door, every time I saw my elder brother, I always felt that he had a cold face and seemed difficult to get close to. But I don’t want to face my wife and daughter, but I’m completely different.” She didn’t know what to think of as she spoke, she sighed softly, and said in a low voice, “Brother and sister-in-law are very affectionate, and it’s true that grandma’s arrangement is.... some."

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Zixi said in a cold voice, "The arrangement of the elders is something that you and I can talk about."

Shen Shuyan was startled by her slip of the tongue, and she blushed with shame, "It's my concubine who overstepped..."

"I'm not blaming you." Song Zixi waved his hand, "It's just a matter of saying these things in private...Especially when Elder Sister comes tomorrow, don't show any such meaning...Otherwise there will be another fight Right and wrong."

"I understand." Shen Shuyan said in a low voice, "Could it be that the eldest sister came back tomorrow because of the fact that the girl from the You family came in?"

"Not necessarily." Song Zixi said indifferently, "Eldest sister always treats elder brother differently from our brothers, she probably came here specially to see him and sister Guan." Seeing his wife pursed her lips, he hugged her again and said softly , "Eldest sister, as the eldest daughter of the eldest house, used to say that she was the same at home...sometimes she said something bad, I will make her up to you. I hope you will take more care of me."

Thinking of that sharp and difficult elder sister who loves to preach...

Shen Shuyan sighed from the bottom of her heart, raised her head and smiled softly at Song Zixi, "Don't worry, Lord, I will save my life. I will listen to my elder sister's teachings."
