Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 138

The hot spring village built by Lord Shen Hou is very stylish. Although it cannot be compared with the Hou Mansion, it is also a variety of small gardens that have been refined, and each scenery is different. There are flowers, trees, ponds and rockeries. There are small bridges and flowing water, corridors with flying eaves, and everything is exquisite.

Mrs. Shen maintained a surprised face as soon as she got out of the car, and praised repeatedly: "It's so much better than...cough, it's so beautiful, better than all the gardens we have seen in Daming Mansion. This garden must be repaired. A lot of money."

It was also the first time for Shen Yunrou to come here, and she nodded vigorously when she heard the words: "Yes, yes, I also think that it must cost a lot of money, but it's true that it looks good, wow, I want to live here all the time in the future , mother, tell father, we have also come to Zhuangzi during Chinese New Year?"

"That can't be done. During the Chinese New Year, there are many people who go to our house to pay New Year's greetings. If we come to Zhuangzi, they have to follow Zhuangzi. It's too troublesome. Besides, although this Zhuangzi is beautiful It’s beautiful, but it’s too far away and sparsely populated. If you come here in spring, summer and autumn, there are fun things to do. You can fly kites in spring, go fishing in summer, and pick fruits in autumn. But what fun is there in winter? You can’t go out, you can only Nesting in your own room, you will get bored after staying for two days."

Mrs. Shen shook her head with a smile, and Shen Ruyi also smiled: "If you like it, you will have the opportunity every year in the future. Why bother about the two days during the Chinese New Year? I'm so sorry, I won't have this opportunity next year."

Shen Yunrou thought for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "Eldest sister said this, if the eldest brother-in-law finds out later, he will definitely give the eldest sister another bigger and better villa. At that time, the elder sister will let me go live too. For two days, I have to follow the light."

Shen Ruyi blushed slightly, and glared at Shen Yunrou. Shen Yunrou didn't care, and walked forward with a smile: "There are so many gardens, big sister, shall we live together? I haven't lived with big sister yet. pass."

Shen Mingxiu followed her all the way: "There's me, there's me, I want to live with the eldest sister and the second sister!"

Shen Yunrou turned her head and looked at him with pity: "You can't."

Shen Mingxiu immediately widened his eyes: "Why can't I?"

"Because you are a boy. Boys cannot live with girls. If you are still young..." Shen Yunrou shook her head: "If you are one year younger, you will be able to live with us, what a pity Ah, you're grown up now."

Even though he has grown up, he hasn't grown up to a very sensible level. When he heard that he couldn't live with the eldest sister and the second sister, the child felt like crying. When Shen Yunrou finished speaking, he turned around and threw himself at Mrs. Shen's side: "Mother, I don't want to grow up! I want to be smaller!"

The funny Mrs. Shen and the others couldn't help laughing. Seeing that Shen Mingxiu's eye circles were almost red, Mrs. Shen hurriedly comforted him: "It's a good thing to grow up, although you can't live with your sisters when you grow up. , But, you can protect your sisters. Think about it, when your sisters go out, as a man, you follow to protect your sisters, isn’t it very majestic? My sister lives in the yard, and you live next door, sisters Whenever there is danger, you can immediately rush to protect it, this is what a man should do."

Shen Mingxiu's eyes lit up immediately: "Can I protect my sisters?"

"Yes, you are a little man now." Mrs. Shen nodded with a smile, and Shen Mingxiu also nodded: "Well, I live next to the sisters' yard." The little head didn't turn around at all, and was directly caught by Shen Madam fainted.

Shen Yunrou couldn't help it, she leaned forward and back when she laughed, Shen Ruyi also had crooked eyebrows, Shen Mingxiu didn't know what the big guy was laughing at, rubbed his head, and laughed foolishly, he laughed for a long time before he realized , clapped his hands and said: "Oh, no, if I protect my sisters, wouldn't it be more convenient to live together? Why do I live next door? In this way, when protecting the ears of my sisters, it is obvious that those maids and women are more It's more convenient to be near!"

Mrs. Shen finally couldn't help it anymore, and patted Shen Mingxiu's shoulder with a smile: "That's because men and women are different." Children are too simple, it's okay to fool around, but the reason that should be explained still needs to be explained.

"When you were in school, did Mister teach you the difference between men and women?" Mrs. Shen asked with a smile, Shen Mingxiu pouted and nodded: "Yes, but I'm still young, so I can't be considered a man, little Children are an exception."

"But only when you grow up can you protect your sisters. Can you protect your sisters now?" Mrs. Shen brought the topic back, and Shen Mingxiu was a little embarrassed. When he grows up, he will be a man and can protect his sisters, but no. When I grow up, I might be able to live with my older sisters, which is really a difficult choice.

"You can go hunting when you grow up." Shen Ruyi raised her eyebrows and said, pointing with her fingers: "You can also drink a lot, eat meat, you can go where you want, you can do whatever you want, of course , you can’t do bad things, or your father will beat you.”

Shen Mingxiu raised his small face, completely attracted by the prospect Shen Ruyi drew: "Then is it okay for me to eat two plates of walnut cakes every day?" Children can't be sure when they eat snacks, and if they eat too much, they won't be able to tell. Willing to eat, so Aunt Wang always limits the amount of dim sum he has.

Shen Ruyi nodded seriously: "That's natural, let alone two plates, even three plates, you can eat them all!"

Shen Mingxiu was immediately happy: "Then I'll be a man, mother, I won't eat lunch today, I want to have some snacks!"

The corners of Shen Ruyi's mouth twitched, Mrs. Shen suppressed a smile and glanced at her daughter. The daughter was always very opinionated, and she was uncompromising when it came to the inner house. It was so rare to see her choked.

"No, a man can't grow up in a day. You have to grow up slowly. Now you can't live with your sisters. You can also go riding with your father. You won't grow up to be able to hunt next year. , the next year will be able to grow to the point where no one will care about you, and the next year will be able to eat as many dim sum as you want."

Mrs. Shen explained to Shen Mingxiu very seriously: "No step should be missed, otherwise you won't be able to grow into a man."

Shen Mingxiu wrinkled his face and struggled for a while, the little man put his hands behind his back and sighed decently: "Well, I just can't live in the same garden with my sisters now, so how about I live next door to my sisters? "

"That's fine." Madam Shen nodded with a smile. Although the scenery in this garden is different, there is also a main courtyard. Madam Shen and Lord Shen Hou naturally lived in the main courtyard with Shen Minghe, and Shen Ruyi was pulled by Shen Yunrou. Yuanzi: "This plum garden is very beautiful, but we also have plum blossoms in our house. It takes a long time to see them, so that's it. The key is that there is no hot spring in this garden."

"This garden is nice and has a hot spring, but this house is a little too simple, the thatched house, it must be very cold at night, big sister, let's change to another one?"

"This one is not bad. There are hot springs, and the house is well-built, but it's too spacious. There is nothing but the hot springs. When we go out, we can only see the courtyard gate. It's too monotonous."

Shen Mingxiu bouncingly followed behind them, no matter what Shen Yunrou said, he just nodded and agreed.

"That's good, big sister, let's live in this garden?" After walking for a long time, Shen Yunrou finally picked a garden. Shen Ruyi didn't look at it carefully, just nodded, and Shen Yunrou called the maid to clean up the room: "I live in the same room as big sister. room?"

Shen Ruyi hurriedly waved her hand: "Farewell, you are so talkative, if you sleep with me at night, I won't be able to sleep well, isn't there an east wing and a west wing? Let's live separately, you want to live in the east wing Or the West Wing? I see that the layout on both sides is similar, there is no big difference."

Shen Yunrou complained a little: "Eldest sister doesn't like me anymore?"

Shen Ruyi has a headache, when did I ever like you?The only reason I treat you well is because your surname is Shen, and now you are the first daughter of Mrs. Shen.The two of us are really not that close.

"It's not that I don't like you anymore, it's just that I like to read books at night, and you don't like to do these things. If you really want to stay with me, you can bring your sewing over before going to bed at night, and we can chat .Besides, where there is so much to say, we are all together during the day."

As he said that, he glanced at Shen Yunrou with disgust: "The most important thing is that your sleeping appearance..."

Shen Ruyi waved her hand, and directly instructed Xia Bing and Xia Chan: "Clean up the east chamber for me, and leave the west chamber for my second sister. Brother, the garden next door belongs to you. Go and tidy it up quickly, a man. Learn to do your own gardening."

Shen Mingxiu's eyes widened: "Isn't this what nuns do? I'm a man, so I can't do what women only do!"

"Well, it's almost time for lunch. You go to find out the news and see what the kitchen has prepared." Shen Ruyi immediately changed her words. Shen Mingxiu liked this task. She greeted Shen Yunrou, turned around and ran away out.

After they were settled properly, several people returned to the main courtyard. As soon as Mrs. Shen ordered lunch to be arranged, Lord Shen came back.It's just that Marquis Shen didn't come back alone, there was someone behind him.

Both Shen Yunrou and Shen Mingxiu got up obediently and saluted: "Father, eldest brother-in-law."

Lord Shen nodded, and sat down directly beside Mrs. Shen. The sixth prince was not at all uncomfortable. He smiled and went to Shen Ruyi's side, saluted Mrs. Shen again, and then sat down: "Long time no see, Shen Ruyi." Aunt's complexion has improved again, and standing with Ruyi, she doesn't look like a mother and daughter, but more like a sister."

Mrs. Shen smiled from ear to ear: "The sixth prince's mouth is so sweet." Before hearing the sixth prince's words, Mrs. Shen would feel uncomfortable and embarrassed, but now, she will only be happy when she hears it, and she is very fond of her mother-in-law. Filial piety is very flattering, so why don't you take good care of Ruyi in the future?
Contrary to Mrs. Shen, the more Lord Shen looks at the sixth prince, the more he finds it distasteful. Isn't he just a boy who is about the same size?Like this, the capital will catch a lot!I don't know what's so good about this sixth prince, but he's completely obsessed with his wife and daughter!
How dare you curry favor with my wife in front of me!
"Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen are really affectionate. Uncle Shen said that he would come to Zhuangzi as soon as he came to court today. He didn't even drink his saliva. Aunt Shen prepared all the things that Uncle Shen liked to eat for lunch. What is it called? The sixth prince said with a smile: "There is a good understanding between the hearts. Uncle and aunt really love each other deeply. I am very envious of the relationship between uncle and aunt."

As she said that, she looked at Shen Ruyi again, with some expectation in her eyes, Shen Yunrou coaxed aside: "Brother-in-law, don't envy my parents, you and my eldest sister will definitely have a deep relationship in the future, and you will get along with each other if you have a good understanding."

The blackness on Lord Shen's face also eased a little. Although this kid is not very good, he still has good eyesight.With such an advantage, don't despise him too much. Anyway, there may be no men in this world who can be better than yourself.

"What are you going to do in the afternoon?" After lunch, each of them held a cup of tea, Mrs. Shen asked with a smile, and rubbed Shen Mingxiu's head with her hand: "Mingxiu wanted to go hunting with you early in the morning. The weather is good, if we wait two more days, maybe it will snow."

Lord Shen nodded: "That's fine, I'll go hunting in the afternoon." After a pause, he said: "Actually, winter hunting is best when it snows, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't snow. Ruyi, Yunrou, you guys going or not?"

"Go!" Without waiting for Shen Ruyi to speak, Shen Yunrou responded first, hunting, she has never been there before, but is there any prey in winter?Under normal circumstances, isn't there something like hibernation?
Not quite understanding, she turned her head and tugged on Shen Ruyi's sleeve, lowered her voice and said her doubts, but Shen Ruyi knew something: "People drive those animals out, the animals are very fierce at this time. , is more dangerous than hunting at other times."

"It's dangerous?" Shen Yunrou hesitated for a moment, and Shen Ruyi nodded: "Don't even think about it. In this winter, those tigers, bears, etc., which ones haven't been hungry all winter? You let people disturb their hibernation , already irritable enough, hungry and angry, can you not be violent?"

Shen Yunrou hesitated even more. Mrs. Shen listened, and quickly stopped: "Then let's not go, just dig a rabbit hole or something later." When she and Shen Ruyi were in Daming Mansion, she had seen farmers digging The rabbit hole, found the hole, one person guarded, the other smoked, the rabbit that had been raised for the winter was fat and stupid, and he could catch it at once.The meat is very tender and delicious.

"Don't worry, those who drive animals are not fools, who would take the initiative to find a tiger cave or a bear den?" Lord Shen waved his hand indifferently: "Don't worry, they are all small animals, and they sleep stupidly in winter , silly, you can catch it without too much effort. But, you say you want to go, can you ride a horse? Can you shoot an arrow?"

Shen Yunrou immediately froze, and Shen Ruyi coughed lightly: "Well, my mother and I can ride horses, but we can't shoot arrows."

"You guys know how to ride horses?" Marquis Shen was even more surprised. His wife looked so soft and weak, but she was actually weak and weak. How could she know how to ride a horse!
Mrs. Shen was a little embarrassed: "Well, when I was in Daming Mansion, I had nothing to do every day except sewing. Ruyi took me to learn how to ride a horse. I know a little bit, but not very well."

The sour water in Lord Shen's heart was gurgling, and there was some bitterness in the sourness, if he hadn't thrown their mother and daughter on Zhuangzi for so many years...

Mrs. Shen didn't see Lord Shen's expression, she just smiled and continued, "Nurse Song next to me can also ride a horse, how about this, Lord Marquis, you take Mingxiu, and Ruyi and I ride separately, let Song Nanny Mama with Yunrou?"

The sixth prince secretly took a look at Shen Ruyi, it would be great if Ruyi didn't know how to ride a horse.

Shen Houye was even a little depressed, it would be great if his wife could not ride a horse.

These small thoughts were completely ignored, and Shen Mingxiu was already cheering: "Ah, I'm riding a horse, I'm going to ride a horse, I'm going to hunt! I must hunt a prey by myself! Hit a tiger! Hit a blind bear!"
