home in the end

Chapter 213
After Shen Shishi sent out the letter, he said that his nanny brother was also a servant boy. The current housekeeper, Shen An, pulled him into the study room and chatted all night. The next day, Shen An sent a letter written by Shen Shishi. Hand it over to his son Shen Sui, let him go to Guangxi to find Liang Yimu, and bring another letter and 1 taels of silver to the capital.

When Shen Shiyi received the scolding letter from Mrs. Shen, Shen An had already arrived in the capital, and was just entering the noisy street of Beicheng disguised as a merchant from the south...

Shen Shiyi let out a cold snort and threw old lady Shen's letter aside. Looking at the weather outside, she thought bitterly, it's been [-] days since my wife set off, and I don't know where she is?When he arrived in the capital, he didn't know if the old lady would make him angry...

At this time, Liang Yimu was looking at Shen Shishi's letter over and over again, frowned suspiciously, looked at the half-grown young man who was frightened in front of him, thought for a while and asked, "When did your master hand over the letter to you?" How do you say it?

Shen Sui said respectfully but neither humble nor overbearing: "Our master only needs to deliver the letter to Master Liang, and then follow Master Liang's orders for everything."

Thinking of Shen Shiyi's somewhat jumpy temper, Liang Yimu felt a little headache, thought for a while and said: "My house is full of elders, you followed your master and also learned how to be a housekeeper, right?"

Shen Sui nodded, his father is the housekeeper, he still knows how to order.

"Then I will leave the affairs of my house to you." He beckoned the servant to take him down.

The staff sent by Hou Yunping disapproved and said: "General, he is not your person, so it might be inappropriate to keep him by your side."

Although Liang Yimu didn't know the purpose of Shen Shishi's doing this, but after several months of getting along with him, he also felt his temper. He still believed that he would not harm him. I'm only responsible for the life affairs or some human relations in the house, and I still belong to the study."

The aide wants to say that he knows a little bit, he knows your relationship, maybe he can guess what you are doing?Then he thought that he just came to Liang Yimu's side, and he was not considered as his "people around him", so it was not appropriate to say these things at this time.

Liang Yimu seemed to know what he was thinking, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he said: "These relationships are naturally what other people want to know as long as they check."

So what does it matter if he knows?
The staff felt relieved, but they were more convinced by Liang Yimu.

In the capital, Hou Yunping was not in such a good mood. Although Li Xuanran was also a little anxious, he still leaned against the door frame, looked at Hou Yunping casually and said, "Look, there are already several ministers in the court who are panicking. The five princes have 'coincidentally met' several ministers in restaurants, bookstores, or antiques, and they have a good conversation, and the hearts of the prince's hard-won relationship are about to disperse again."

Hou Yunping looked at the sycamore tree outside the window and said nothing.

Li Xuanran was about to say something when he heard Hou Yunping's personal servant Fei Bai shouting outside: "Mrs. Tai!"

Li Xuanran quickly stood up straight, and stood aside respectfully.

Hou Yunping glanced at him, then got up to welcome him out. After seeing Madam Tai welcome him in, he asked Fei Bai to go out and continue guarding the door. Li Xuanran poured Madam Tai a cup of tea with his own hands.

Mrs. Tai took the tea and put it aside, asked about Mrs. Li's health, and when she learned that everything was fine, she said, "How is Hui Niang's health? Last time I went, I was still taking medicine. I told Hao My brother came to play with his three cousins, and he hasn't been to the door these days..."

Not sure what to say, Li Xuanran already had a forced smile on Li Xuanran's face, Madam Tai couldn't help sighing when she saw it, when they were going to marry Li Xuanran a wife, Li Xuanran insisted on seeing him, thinking about whether the daughter born in the general's family would be There were so many taboos, so he nodded and agreed, but he fell in love with Hui Niang who was born in a civil servant's family. Although she didn't associate with his sister-in-law at that time, she could probably guess what she was thinking:
Military generals are dangerous, and Xuan Ran often runs outside, so my sister-in-law didn't want him to hang on to the military post. Hui Niang's father was already a Hanlin scholar at that time, and he was expected to enter the cabinet. The couple of months after getting married were fine, the two of them were like honey, when the war broke out in the Northland, and Xiao Wu was about to go to the battlefield, so Li Xuanran followed him, leaving a letter and quietly took Hui Niang to the north ... Who would have thought that even though they had added a kid after they came back, the two of them ignored each other as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

The sister-in-law even doubted whether Brother Hao was Li Xuanran's child because of this matter, but seeing Brother Hao whose facial features and eyes were more and more similar to Li Xuanran, this doubt was also relieved.

Mrs. Tai also asked Hou Yunping, but Hou Yunping just kept silent, and now the three families looked at them both a little helplessly.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Mrs. Tai didn't make things difficult for him anymore, she just told him to go back and see Brother Hao when he had time, then turned her head and said to Hou Yunping with a straight face: "How long are you going to keep this matter from me?" ?”

Hou Yunping stood respectfully aside with his hands down, and said, "How did mother know?"

Mrs. Tai sneered, "Not only do I know, I'm afraid your daughter-in-law has guessed it too? There has been so much movement in the Kou family these two days, and your wife and I are not blind, so we can guess it."

Hou Yunping raised his brows, Li Xuanran saw that Mrs. Tai's attention was not on him, so she happily said: "After this matter is over, I'm afraid His Highness will owe the Kou family an adult invitation!"

Mrs. Tai sighed, "There is no other way. The Fifth Prince and Concubine got married a month later than the Crown Princess, but she gave birth to a grandson, but the Crown Princess has not moved yet. No wonder the Kou family is anxious. A few days ago, your wife and I went out to visit, and saw Mrs. Kou San carefully sizing up every lady, and I am not stupid, so I naturally knew that she was choosing a good concubine for the crown prince."

"I'm afraid the empress might not be satisfied with the person they choose," Hou Yunping felt a little headache. "This matter is His Highness's secret matter. Not many people know about it now. I'm afraid we won't be able to jump out."

Li Xuanran said indifferently: "What's the matter, after the Queen has confirmed the candidate, can't I just go to those back gardens?"

Mrs. Tai was so angry that she wanted to smash the teacup at her hand, and said angrily: "Can't you think of some reliable methods? Those girls' reputations are ruined, how do you want them to live? Do you think those people will let you go?"

Li Xuanran begged for mercy with a playful smile: "Aunt, am I joking with you? You can take it seriously."

Hou Yunping had a plan in mind, but he still had to discuss it with the prince, so he got up and said, "Okay, you can go back, my aunt has always sent someone to invite you these days, I dare not keep you." The lady said respectfully: "Mother, it's fine for the son to handle this matter, so don't worry too much."

Madam Tai saw that her son's eyes were clear, so she knew that he had thought of a way, and she told Li Xuanran as she walked out, "Let your wife bring brother Hao over to play tomorrow."

Li Xuanran sent off Mrs. Tai, his face darkened, Hou Yunping frowned slightly when he saw it: "This matter may not be what you think..."

Li Xuanran snorted coldly, interrupted his words: "In the past few years, she has never used any means to attract my attention? Even her own son can be used, what else can she not do?" Li Xuanran thought of her With a slightly anxious face, he said: "Don't worry about this matter, I have my own opinion, but the prince's matter is not easy to solve, right?"

Hou Yunping was a little dissatisfied with his changing the subject, and said: "You wanted this marriage at the beginning, even if she really did something wrong, you should give her a chance to explain. I haven't said it all these years, just thinking about it. You are a husband and wife and there is nothing you can't say, who knows that you haven't asked what happened back then, you..."

"Okay." Li Xuanran's face was a little stern, "Let's talk about the prince first."

Hou Yunping sighed, shook his head and smiled wryly. Li Xuanran's ability to shrink his head was really... But he changed the subject along with him, "This matter is easy to solve, but the most fundamental thing is still there. I will go to Baiyun sometime After two years, if the crown prince has no children, no matter how satisfied the emperor and courtiers are, he will be useless." The eldest son without heirs, whether in the royal family or ordinary people It is impossible to become the heir!

Li Xuanran returned home, paused at the fork, turned around and walked towards his courtyard. At this time, the gate of the courtyard had already been opened, and it could be seen that the people living inside had no intention of waiting for anyone to return. Li Xuanran's face was a little gloomy. .

Standing quietly outside the door, he heard a female voice gently coaxing the child to eat. Li Xuanran is a martial arts practitioner with good hearing. Even though the child's voice was very soft, he still heard it. With eyebrows and eyes similar to his, my heart softened.

He raised his hand and was about to knock on the door when he heard a female voice singing softly inside, his face darkened suddenly, he turned around and walked towards the study where he lived...

When Hou Yunping returned to the room, Liang Yimei was packing up his things. He walked over to take a look, picked up a piece of wood and said, "Is this for the three kids again?"

"This is for Brother Hao to play. Mother said that she will take Brother Hao over to play for a few days, so that their cousins ​​can get close to each other."

Hou Yunping smiled and said: "The three boys can't speak yet, how can they get close?"

Liang Yimei didn't take it seriously: "There are many ways to get close to children. I have also met Brother Hao. He seems a little timid and younger than children of the same age. There are few people of the same age who usually talk to him. He looks like a child." Xinxing, and three children are just right."

Brother Hao looks like ordinary children, except that the three boys are strong and only nine months old but have long arms and legs. Liang Yimei has never seen other children, so she thinks Brother Hao is young.

Hou Yunping was also inexperienced, so he thought about Brother Hao's body, and remembered the same body of the three sons that day, so he nodded and said: "That's okay, Xuanran doesn't care about this child, he usually doesn't have any playmates." , it’s good to bring him here, and the house will be more lively.”

Liang Yimei felt a little headache, isn't the house lively enough?Thinking of the scene of a disgraceful person dancing around the three children during the day, I was a little worried that Brother Hao would be bullied when he came, so he thought for a while and said: "I will find two more stable girls to come out later, Brother Hao is here , let them take him with them."
