Spring Forest Evening

After all, Shen Yi is the mistress of the Hou Mansion who has been in charge of the family for many years, and she is very active. According to her own words:

"It's so cold, you can only sit in the house on the left and right, and it's not a big house, or something you can do whenever you want?"

So with the help of a few servants, and Chunying assisted in directing, the tables, chairs and furniture in the main house were vacated before noon, and in the afternoon, they carefully spread the newly bought felt on the floor and put some soft cushions. , and a screen is added between the inner and outer rooms, so that an indoor multi-functional children's room is tidied up.

As for the table and chairs used by Shen Fengrong to practice calligraphy, Shen Yi had someone put them in front of the inner room window, and explained to Zhou Heng in this way:

"Young master is not yet enlightened, but he must be curious as a child, so I put the tables and chairs in the inner room. It is best not to be distracted when reading and writing. I will work hard for you at that time, Ah Heng. Bring back."

This is true, children still need to concentrate on reading, Zhou Heng nodded in agreement, and then asked the most critical question about eating.Shen Yi has also thought about it:

"When I first arrived here, I couldn't get up, and the meals were all settled on the kang table. Now that you are here, let Ah Rong eat with you later, and I can eat in this inner room with my mother. Anyway, it is very difficult now. Then, we don’t have to pay attention to any rules.”

Now that he had thought it all over, Zhou Heng didn't stop him, and nodded in response:

"Rules are dead, people are alive, so don't worry too much."

What's more, there are some rules that I don't actually understand, so it's better to do as you please, even being the head of the family.

When tidying up the tables and chairs, Zhou Heng had been discussing the management of the inner courtyard with Mother Shen in the East Wing. Fortunately, he had lived in Tangquan Town and Zhongnan Road for two months before, and now there were at best Shen Yi in the courtyard. The three of them and a few servants thought they were competent.

But Nanny Shen must have spent too long in the management of the palace, and she emphasized rules at the beginning.Zhou Heng was rather disapproving, not to mention anything else, now it’s just a small house, so why bother to perform their own duties for things like shopping, just buy it when you think about it.

Seeing that both of them insisted on their own opinions and didn't want to disturb Shen Yi, Aunt Peng came out to smooth things over in the end. Using her years of experience in shopping and cooking to talk things over, the three of them finally came up with a rough plan. charter.

It’s just that the adults are busy with their own affairs, and the two little ones who went out with the guards all morning to see the snow scene played crazy. When they were brought back before lunch, their shoes and socks were wet, and their hands and faces were cold. Even more because of his small stature, the entire pair of cotton trousers was almost wet, causing the boss of the guard to plead guilty to Zhou Heng as soon as he came in with him in his arms:

"Miss, it's all subordinates, isn't it?"

While signaling to Chunying next to him to bring hot water in quickly, she hesitated whether to help the little guy take off the wet pants outside. The kang was burned inside the room, but it was quite warm and could be put under the quilt immediately.

Zhou Heng knew that this Bian guard had always acted prudently, and even though he pleaded guilty, there was nothing to say later, so he must have wanted to come back a long time ago, but there was nothing to do with the two young ones.

Then he turned his head to look at the two little guys, and saw that their faces were flushed with unsatisfactory excitement, the older Shen Fengrong was fine, and the younger one was still yelling:

"Mom, I still have to play after dinner! It's so fun!"

They can't be beaten or scolded, and the guards are not good at coaxing the children. Now that they are able to drag them back by force, I don't know how much brains they have used and how many good words they have said.

"It's okay, these two guys haven't seen snow before, and people are crazy at the moment, you just go back to the house and change your clothes." Zhou Heng smiled and dismissed a few guards, and then ordered Chunying who had come in with hot water:

"You go and ask Nanny Shen to find a set of Arong's clothes."

"Auntie, I'm sorry." After the guards had left, Shen Fengrong came to his senses, standing on the ground and apologizing to Zhou Heng in embarrassment:

"I didn't bring my younger brother well, I still wanted to play."

He scratched his head embarrassingly and said:

"I'd better go back to the house and change it!"

"Don't bother your mother," Zhou Heng smiled and carried Ah Man, who had already had his trousers stripped off, onto the kang, and while signaling Shen Fengrong to "help me take care of my brother", he went to the cabinet next to him to find trousers for the little guy to wear.

As a result, after searching, I realized that there was only one pair of cotton trousers, which I bought temporarily on the road. They were already wet and were taken off to dry, so it could only be:

"Ah, it looks like you can only stay indoors this afternoon!"

The little guy didn't listen carefully, at the moment he was happily running around on the hot kang, while smiling and not forgetting to greet Shen Fengrong who was standing awkwardly on the ground:

"Brother Arong, you come too!"

"That's right, Ah Rong, you should hurry up too, it's warm on the kang!" Seeing that Shen Fengrong hesitated, Zhou Heng couldn't help laughing, and reminded him: "You forgot, when I was in Zhongnan Road, I saw you and Ah Man every day. The two are swimming in the Peach Blossom River!"

Only bare ass.

As soon as he said this, Zhou Heng saw that Shen Fengrong's expression relaxed, and he also relaxed. When Shen Momo hurried in with clothes, he saw two children lying head to head on the hot kang. Laughing under the quilt.

Knowing that Zhou Heng had washed their faces and feet with hot water, Nanny Shen heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and said that she would go to the kitchen and ask someone to make two bowls of ginger soup:

"It won't be good if you catch a cold later!"

"It's okay, Nanny, we won't let the two of them go out today," Zhou Heng explained to her with a smile, "Just stay here on the warm kang."

Then she told Chunying: "You help me watch them two, don't make too much noise, then I'm going to catch a cold!"

He went out to the main house to explain the situation to Shen Yi.

"Ah Rong is definitely fine. He has practiced martial arts for a while, and his body is not bad, but he is a young master." Shen Yi paused, suddenly remembered something, and said again:

"By the way, Ah Rong has quite a few pairs of trousers. It's so cold and I don't have anything to do with you. You can get a pair of pants for the young master to change into a smaller size. You will only wear them for two days. Don't go out and buy them. Thinking about it, there’s nothing good about it, he’s a child, so he has to choose some good materials to wear comfortably. When the snow stops, you can go to Taiyuan City to have a look.”

Zhou Heng was naturally happy when he heard it, and quickly asked again:

"Is Arong enough by himself?"

"Enough, I have prepared for this visit." Seeing her joyful face, Shen Yi felt sore, and felt happy again. Ah Heng cared so much about such a child who had only been raised for a few months. If she and Ah Fu had a child, she must be a considerate and considerate mother.It's a pity that they are now separated from each other, and Ah Heng and Ah Fu don't know when they will be able to marry in a dignified way...

Zhou Heng didn't pay much attention to the expression on Shen Yi's face, he only thought about the two children in the wing room, and said:

"The elder sister has worked hard for you, oh no, I'd better call Shen Momo here quickly, you can't be too tired! Those two guys have been playing all morning, and they are probably hungry, so they have to eat quickly!"

Except for Shen Yi and Nanny Shen in the main room, the rest happily ate together on the kang table in the east wing.

For fear that the two children would have nothing to do in the house, Zhou Heng took them to do a simple yoga activity on the kang after the two took a nap.

When Aunt Shen came in with her altered trousers, she suddenly saw a group of people, two young people, and three people competing for the Golden Rooster Independence on the kang, and Aunt Peng and Chun Ying, who were sitting on the edge of the kang, were helping to count and time the time with a smile.

After all, Ah Mo was too small, so he was allowed to support the wall with one hand. If so, his small body dangled and seemed to be unable to support it any longer. Seeing this, Zhou Heng hurriedly said, "Oh, I insist. I can't stop!" Then he fell down on the kang.

When the little guy saw it, he also put down his chubby little feet, and threw himself on her body.

"Ah, brother Arong is No.1, and there is a prize!" Zhou Heng announced with a smile.

"Then what about me?" The little guy quickly raised his head and asked.

"The two of us tied for No.2, and we will get a prize!" Zhou Heng kissed his chubby little cheek, and everyone in the room burst into laughter...

Nanny Shen, who returned to the main house, was still wiping away her tears. Shen Yi's heart tightened as she watched, and quickly asked her:

"what happened?"

"It's okay, it's okay," Shen Shen quickly responded with a smile: "I just went to the cousin girl, and the whole room was full of laughter. Princess, this servant is happy. It's been so many days, and this is the first time that this servant has seen When he saw the eldest son, he showed a smiling face..."

So it turned out that Shen Yi's eye sockets became wet all of a sudden:

"Ah Rong, he laughed... Mommy, it seems that my decision at that time was really correct. You see, whether it is Ah Fu or Ah Heng, they are both kind and righteous people!"

Shen Yi muttered to herself, tears rolling down her face:

"They are also my relatives!"
