Chapter 211 Germination
Just as they were talking, there was a sound of footsteps upstairs. When the two looked up, they saw a man dressed as a scholar in his twenties coming down to greet Shen Shiyi, "My lord, I will see you."

Shen Shiyi looked him up and down, pointed at him and patted his head and said, "You are from the Liu family, who is Enbo?"

The corner of the man's mouth twitched slightly, and he bowed and said, "It's the boy's uncle. My lord must be Shen Shishi. The boy often hears about you from his uncle."

"What are you talking about me? Are you saying that I always steal his wine?" Shen Shiyi joked.

Master Liu pursed his lips and smiled, "Uncle always said that the adults are very knowledgeable, and he also taught the boys to learn more from the adults."

Shen Shiyi waved his hand and said, "Okay, stop flattering, I won't grab the room with you." He raised his head at the post station official and said, "Prepare the room for us, and just prepare some wine and food."

The post station officials took a look at Mr. Liu and bowed his waist and said, "Just wait!"

Shen Shiyi waved his hand to interrupt his hesitation, "Okay, will I still fight for a house with a junior? What's more, you still have your family with you."

Mr. Liu smiled a little forcedly. When this word got out, others thought he didn't know how to respect his elders.

Liang Yimu saw that although Shen Shishi was chatting lively with him, he didn't seem close, so he started to eat on his own.

The two were talking happily, Liang Yimu raised his eyebrows and looked behind Shen Shishi.

Shen Shiyi looked back but found nothing, "What's wrong?"

Liang Yimu got up and opened the door. A boy around four or five years old looked at the two of them timidly. Liang Yimu's heart softened when he looked outside. There was no one in the empty corridor, but a cup came from the next room. Sound, it can be heard that it is eating.

Liang Yimu bent down and carried the man in, and then let go of his frown, put the man on his lap, and took the food on the table for him to eat.

The child started to eat voraciously, his eyes still staring at the dishes on the table.

Shen Shiyi's hand holding the wine glass paused in the air, blinked his eyes, and asked in confusion: "How do you know there is a child outside the door?"

While feeding the child, Liang Yimu replied, "Have you forgotten what I do?"

"Then how do you know he's hungry?" Shen Shiyi asked persistently.

Liang Yimu's hands stopped, and seeing the child looking at him, he fed the vegetables in his chopsticks into his mouth with a smile, and said: "I have had this kind of eyes too, my younger brothers and sisters have all had them, I will know it when I see it .”

Shen Shishi was a little surprised, Chang Ping Hou's wife was hungry when she was young?
He looked the child up and down, and said: "The clothes on this child are not bad, he doesn't look like a servant, how can he still not have enough to eat?"

"The clothes are clipped. They look bright on the outside, but there are reeds on the inside."

"You know again?"

Liang Yimu chuckled, and said: "I also wore this kind of clothes once when I was in the north. Fortunately, at that time, a colleague made a mistake and got hit by a board. Changping Marquis happened to come to patrol the camp, and the reeds in the broken padded jacket Zipiao was everywhere, Chang Ping Hou's face was dark at that time, he beheaded two generals and four quartermasters at once, and the court even ordered him for this matter!" After a pause, he continued: "In the It's not a good feeling to wear clothes like this in this weather."

"Marquis Changping is really courageous. He killed so many people just when he was employing people, so he won't be afraid of the army's morale being shaken..." Shen Shixi suddenly stopped talking, and looked carefully at the child in front of him. The child was frightened by him. , and hid in Liang Yimu's arms, Liang Yimu quickly patted him to comfort him.

He raised his head and asked Shen Shishi, "What's wrong?"

Shen Shishi's face was a bit ugly, "The Liu family is also a famous family after all. Even the children of concubines cannot be treated so badly. From this, it can be seen that his wife is not very virtuous. It is not certain whether this promotion is a blessing or a curse."

Liang Yimu raised his eyebrows and remained silent, focusing on feeding the child in his arms.

It was so easy to feed the people, Liang Yimu took out the baggage that he carried with him, took out the needle and thread while Shen Shishi was dumbfounded, cut open one of his cotton clothes, took out the cotton inside, and took off the child's clothes , wrapped the child in a quilt, and in front of Shen Shishi's eyes, stuffed the cotton that had been taken out into the child's clothes that had just taken out the reeds, and sewed it up with a needle and thread.

It took a long time before Shen Shiyi recovered his voice, "You, what are you doing?"

Liang Yi said without raising his head, "Make clothes for the children."

Shen Shixi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "If you are poor kid, let's talk to him before we leave tomorrow and just remind him."

"The backyard is a woman's world. This is what my sister said. Not to mention how much Liu Tiju values ​​this child, even if he values ​​it very much, there are times when he can't take care of him. At that time, he will only be cold and hungry again. What's more, their family is eating next door. Could it be that he doesn't know about the loss of a child? Instead of reminding Liu Tiju that he doesn't like it and Mrs. Liu hates it, it's better to do something for the child secretly. I'm a military officer , and you have been in Guangdong all year round, separated by hundreds of thousands of miles, how can you guarantee that he will treat this child well just to make friends with you?"

Shen Shiyi also grew up in the inner courtyard from a young age. Even if he didn't think of it at first, Liang Yimu knew it when he mentioned it. Get up and go out and tell your followers to inquire about it.

When he came back, he saw that Liang Yi's wood stitches looked good, so he smiled and said, "Is this also learned in the military school?"

Liang Yimu was also slightly embarrassed, "I can master it at home, but when I came to the army, I sewed and mended the things around me, and the more I practiced, the better."

Shen Shishi didn't expect to get this answer. Liang Yimu smiled when he saw it: "My parents passed away when I was young, and my younger brothers and sisters were still young. At that time, I just wanted to make sure that there were no broken pieces."

Shen Shishi was a little interested. If it wasn't for his grandmother, he would have joined the army. Liang Yimu saw that his eyes were bright, so he picked up some interesting things in the army and told him.

After a while, the entourage sent by Shen Shiyi came back after inquiring about the news, "... Mrs. Liu died of illness a year ago, and this second young master has been served by a nanny all the time. Go down and take up the post first."

Shen Shishi's face was a bit ugly, "Then what happened to the 'Madam' we heard people shouting down there just now?"

The entourage said respectfully: "It's Mr. Liu's favorite concubine. I brought it with me this time. I heard that this favorite concubine gave birth to a son and a daughter for Mr. Liu. That son is older than this second young master."

Shen Shiyi waved him back.

Liang Yimu just closed the needle, and he listened to everything Shen Shishi's entourage said, and he couldn't help but sigh when he heard the words. Looking at the ignorant child on the bed, he felt a little pity in his heart. Back then, his younger brother was only a little older than him. After thinking about it, I took some small bank notes from the package, put them in the corner of the clothes and sewed them on, and then put them on for the child.

Shen Shishi happened to see it, and with his mouth slightly open, he suddenly felt that the great grievances he had suffered before were nothing. Even though he had never heard of it, it was only then that he realized that his life seemed to be going too smoothly.

Liang Yimu carried the child out of bed, and asked softly, "Is it still cold?"

The child shook his head with bright eyes.

Liang Yimu took his hand and put it on the corner of his clothes, saying: "This is a bank note, do you know what a bank note is?"

The child nodded, "Nurse said that the silver ticket is for buying food, and she gave it to me before I came."

"He's such a smart boy, then you have to know that the silver ticket is a treasure, and no one else can tell where it's hidden except you, okay?"

The child thought for a moment, then nodded fiercely.

Liang Yimu said in a persuasive way: "In the future, when you are hungry or sick, you can take one out of it and give it to a trustworthy or kind person, and let them buy you food, okay?"

The child nodded again.

Liang Yimu carried the child out, put him on the corridor, motioned him to go into the room to find an adult, watched the child leave, and Liang Yimu turned back.

Shen Shiyi looked at him and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a good heart?"

Liang Yimu tidied up the reeds on the bed, and said: "Anyway, you and the Liu family are reconciled, so just write a letter. Even I know it's a big taboo, not to mention that people like you can help him." Just help with some."

Shen Shiyi nodded, "Since when did the Liu family become like this? It seems that Enbo, the head of the family, is not doing well?"

Liang Yimu sneered, "If you want me to say that your aristocratic families have always been like this, where there are fights, there will be grievances, and the most innocent are the children. If you really miss home and everything is going well, there is only one way."

"What way?"

"Don't take concubines!" Liang Yimu said with some doubts: "I know that taking concubines will make the house unsafe, but I don't understand why you still take concubines?"

Shen Shiyi tilted his head and said, "You don't want to take a concubine?"

Liang Yimu nodded, "I just want to have a good time with my wife, so what's the point of taking a concubine back and worrying about being between the two?" He also wanted to say that he hoped that Marquis Changping would not take a concubine, but he was afraid that Shen Shi As soon as he said that his sister was a jealous woman, he shut up.

Shen Shiyi's eyes lit up, and he patted Liang Yimu's shoulder and said, "Good boy, you're doing well! You see, I don't take concubines either, and I also think it's bad! You see, the two of us hit it off so well, why don't we first How about taking a trip to Guangdong with Uncle Eleven?"

Liang Yimu stopped what he was doing and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Uncle Eleven? Didn't you tell me to call you Brother Eleven? Why did you become Uncle Eleven again?"

"I am indeed old enough to be your uncle," Shen Shixi said vaguely, "What's more, according to the Marquis of Changping's seniority, I am indeed your uncle's generation."

The feeling of being a scout all the year round told Liang Yimu that things were not that simple, but Shen Shixi didn't say anything, it was just a small matter of address, so he didn't care, and called "Uncle Shiyi" kindly.

Shen Shiyi responded loudly, laughing like a sneaky cat!

Liang Yimu shuddered when he saw it, and turned his head away from his obtrusive smiling face.
