Time Traveling: the Only Beloved Husband

When Shen Xiangyan led Qin Yue to the front yard, Prince Rong was discussing something with the guards around him, and it seemed that he was really about to leave. Because at this moment besides the four guards that Prince Rong saw yesterday, there are two extra guards not far away. These people should have been deliberately hidden before coming here. Now that the identity of the prince is exposed, these people are naturally All showed up.

"Brother, why don't you stay for a few more days and leave so soon?" Because he was a little anxious when he came, Shen Xiangyan took a few breaths before asking. He thought he could spend a few more days with Zhou Cheng, but he never thought that Zhou Cheng would leave so soon.

Seeing Shen Xiangyan coming, Zhou Cheng patted him on the shoulder, laughed twice, and then said, "Brother Yan, brother, I still have the task entrusted to me by the emperor, and the emperor's fate is hard to do. Since you are here already It's okay, so I won't stay any longer. Sigh, no matter how persuasive you are, you won't move to the capital, otherwise we brothers won't be able to see each other from time to time."

Zhou Cheng had mentioned this matter several times at the banquet last night, but he refused all of them. Although he has a title now, any official in a place like the capital might be older than him, and he doesn't have any ambition to exert power in the government and the public, he only thinks about his husband and children. What's more, both he and Rong'er are used to the life in Furong Town, if he went to the capital, not only would he not be used to it, but Rong'er would not be able to live comfortably either.

"Brother, it's not that you don't know me. I feel very bound when I think of going to the capital. Now, brother, you have asked me to be a knight. Here I bring my husband and children and no one dares to bully me. How comfortable I am. It’s much better than going to the capital.”

Zhou Cheng thought about it for a while. He himself grew up in a place where people eat people and don’t spit out their bones. How could he not know that the place looks beautiful on the surface, but in fact it is the most dangerous inside, so he didn’t continue to persuade him. After thinking about it Still unwilling to say, "Then when I have free time in the future, I will come to the capital with my sister-in-law as a guest. When the time comes, I will be the host, and we will not get drunk. This is not an excuse."

Seeing that Shen Xiangyan nodded in response, Zhou Cheng smiled and said, "That's it, Brother Yan, let's meet again next time." Saying this, he called the guards to get ready to go.

Only then did Shen Xiangyan remember about the letter, he hurriedly pulled humanity back, "Brother, younger brother, here is another letter for you, don't forget to read it when you turn around."

Zhou Cheng took the letter, although he was a little puzzled, he took it without saying anything. Shen Xiangyan looked at the backs of Zhou Cheng's team going away, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, this time he really left.

Shen Xiangyan turned around and just woke up to see if Xia Rong was awake, when he was startled by a group of people behind him, and saw all the servants in the house kneeling on the ground one by one, kowtowing to him with unconcealed excitement in his tone, "Slave Please greet Lord Hou."

Shen Xiangyan said no to Chen Cai, Feng Qin, Qin Yue, and He Xin, who seemed to be the beginning at first glance, and he was also annoyed at the end, "Look at you, hurry up, Zhengjun Is there someone to watch?" Don't just try to make him happy, there's no one to take care of Xia Rong, right?

Then everyone stood up laughing, and He Xin covered her mouth and smiled back, "Don't worry, Lord Hou, He Miao and a few girls are staying with Zhengjun. Everyone is also happy for you to become Lord Hou, young master. From now on, even our servants will be honored when they go out."

After hearing He Xin's words, the surrounding servants all responded. Originally, because the two masters of the Shen family were rare and easy-to-serve masters, many people in Furong Town envied them for being able to live in Shen's house. people. This time they transformed into servants of Lord Hou's mansion again. Thinking about it, those people were even more envious. Even they themselves felt that this was a great blessing.

After Shen Xiangyan told everyone to disperse, he took He Xin to the Begonia Courtyard. On the way, I suddenly remembered that the master's family should be rewarded with silver for winning the title. Just as he mentioned this matter to He Xin, He Xin said, "This servant thanked the Marquis for his compassion on behalf of the others, but Zheng Jun explained everything yesterday. Slaves, everyone has received the reward early this morning." Shen Xiangyan was not annoyed when he heard it, but instead felt a sense of pride, this is the husband he taught by himself, and he handles housework more and more properly.

When Shen Xiangyan returned to Haitang Courtyard, Xia Rong had already woken up, and He Miao was helping him to freshen up. When Shen Xiangyan saw him, he took He Miao's place, took the wet cloth towel and wiped Xia Rong's face carefully. Xia Rong also acted as usual, sat obediently and let the husband take care of him, "Has the lord left?" He woke up early in the morning, and he heard He Miao mention this matter, and he was a little surprised why the lord left in such a hurry .

"Well, the prince still has the emperor's life, so naturally he can't stay for long. Okay, Rong'er, let's not talk about him. Mr. Xianggong wants to buy the house next door. How about getting a garden for you?" He was a nice person, but Shen Xiangyan still felt a little uncomfortable when Xia Rong mentioned other men. Rong'er belonged to him alone, how could he wake up early in the morning and ask other wild men first thing, that's not okay.

Sure enough, Xia Rong was successfully diverted by his words, remembering the four-in-one courtyard next door, holding Shen Xiangyan's hand, and said nervously, "Rong'er doesn't need a garden. The house we live in is already big enough. What is that house for?" In fact, he was already very satisfied when he and his husband lived in the small courtyard. Later, after changing the house, I always thought it was big enough. After all, there were only him and my husband in the house, and Xia Rong really didn't think about expanding it.

Shen Xiangyan patted Xia Rong's head, and said with a smile, "Rong'er, the little guy in your stomach will be born soon, and if it's a little girl or a little girl, he will be happy with a back garden." No, what's more, our family is the Marquis's Mansion now, so it should be expanded." He made money to make Fu Lang and his children live more comfortably, if it wasn't for the fact that he was just an ordinary businessman before, he was afraid of being too ostentatious If it caused future troubles, he wished he could make the house more exquisite.

Xia Rong has always been what her husband says, and for so long, every decision made by her husband is for his own good, so she just nodded in response in a daze. Familiar with the little guy in his belly, Shen Xiangyan didn't think too much about it. The reason for setting up a garden was because Xia Rong spent most of his time at home. Shen Xiangyan was afraid that Xia Rong would be too boring at home.

Yesterday, Prince Rong personally read out the imperial decree, sealing Shen Xiangyan as the Marquis of Kang Ning, and the news spread throughout Furong Town overnight. Those families who had a good personal relationship with Shen Xiangyan on weekdays, such as the Li family, the Lu family, and the Gu family were all happy for Shen Xiangyan, and they prepared congratulatory gifts early on for people to send to the Shen family today.

And those who have business dealings with Xiang Zilai also got the letter early, so they were afraid of being left behind by others, and they also told them to prepare gifts at home. Of course, there are those who appear to be congratulating Shen Xiangyan on the surface, but in fact are as jealous as they want in private, such as Xia Tian, ​​Ye Zhen, etc., they have to follow the trend to give gifts to the Shen family, otherwise they are obviously dissatisfied the will of the emperor. Finally, there are people like Taozhi who, even if they get the letter, don't do anything in their hearts, but are not qualified to give gifts.

In short, no matter what it is, since the prince left, the servants of the Kangninghou Mansion can be regarded as knowing what receiving gifts is and can receive hand cramps. By the way, in the past two days, Shen's residence has also been officially changed into Kangninghoufu, and the house next door was also successfully bought by Shen Xiangyan's people. Guanya's people saw that the servants of Kangninghoufu came to buy the house, and said nothing. After receiving the money, the land deed was handed over, and there was no one who moved so quickly.

—————

Prince Rong rushed all the way to the next place, and only then took out the letter written by Shen Xiangyan to him when he reached the resting place, and when he opened the letter, he saw a mirror-making recipe. When Prince Rong opened the prescription, he was really surprised. After putting down the prescription, he continued to read the contents of Shen Xiangyan's letter.

It turned out that although Shen Xiangyan came out with this prescription, he also knew the truth of the innocent and the guilty, so he also explained the origin of this prescription in the letter. It is said that the late father got it by accident when he went south to buy spices. After getting it, he has been powerless. Even if he did this mirror business, he was afraid that he would not be able to keep it. But it was a pity that this prescription was placed in his hands, so he thought that handing the prescription to him could be regarded as a gift from the younger brother to the elder brother.

Holding the prescription in his hand, Zhou Cheng sighed after a while, "Brother Yan is really worthy of my king's friendship." How could he not know the value of this prescription? This is an obvious profiteering business. As long as you grasp it well, The treasury matter that the emperor brother has been worrying about can also be relieved a little bit.

This matter can't be taken advantage of by brother Yan, Zhou Cheng thought for a while and ordered the guards to bring paper and pen, and wrote a reply letter with a pen. In the letter, he decided to distribute 20% of the profits from the mirror business to Shen Xiangyan, and the other 80% would be used to fill the national treasury. Fearing that Shen Xiangyan would refuse to accept it, he also wrote many reasons to persuade him to accept it.

In short, when Shen Xiangyan received this letter, he really couldn't laugh or cry. Originally, he had his own little thoughts, and wanted to give this house to Prince Rong for nothing. In the end, he was still regarded as a good person, and he gained two points of profit for no reason. But the matter has come to this point, Shen Xiangyan can only relax and accept the extra profits for no reason.

The days are getting hotter day by day. Xia Rong is not very afraid of heat at first, but it may be because she is pregnant that she is especially afraid of heat this summer. Ice is naturally indispensable in the residence of the Marquis of Kangning, but Shen Xiangyan was afraid that Xia Rong's body would not be able to bear it, so he did not dare to use too much ice for him. Xia Rong's stomach is now seven months old, and it is time to pay attention .

Gu Chen's due date is less than half a month away, and Xia Rong sent two of the Wen women in the family there early. Speaking of Wen women, Xia Rong couldn't help but slander. When his belly was five or six months old, the husband began to send people around to pay a lot of money to hire Wen Po. Now that his belly is seven months old, there are already five Wen Po in the family. If he didn't try his best to persuade him, it would be enough Now, seeing your husband's crazy appearance, I really wish I could invite all the stable women from hundreds of miles around Furong Town.

Because the weather is too hot, Xia Rong is currently cooling off in the newly built garden. Shen Xiangyan specially built a bamboo forest here for him, which is similar to the villa in the villa. Unfortunately, there is no hot spring in this place. But thanks to this bamboo forest, otherwise, with Xia Rong's current system, it would have been even worse if she was so afraid of the heat.

When Shen Xiangyan came back, what he saw was Xia Rong lying on the bamboo couch, with his eyes closed and his belly stretched out to bask in the sun. This scene made Shen Xiangyan so cute. Shen Xiangyan stepped lightly, took the fan from He Miao's hand, and signaled the servants around to go down, while he himself sat on the small bamboo stool next to him and fanned Xia Rong.

He grabbed Dr. Li early this morning and asked him to give Xia Rong some urgently needed medicine if something went wrong during delivery, such as high-quality century-old wild ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, whether it is useful or not, he will make it I took some to Dr. Li. This can't be blamed on him, even in his previous life, it was a big event for a pregnant woman to give birth, let alone in this era where medical care is very backward. As far as he heard, women here have dystocia, and fewer die from bleeding, let alone twins who are three points more dangerous than women giving birth.

Looking at Xia Rong's peaceful side face, her long eyelashes fluttered with her breathing, it seemed that she was not asleep. But such a big baby is his. If he doesn't make enough preparations in advance, how can he calm down? Even if everyone laughs at him because of this, Shen Xiangyan, he doesn't care. It hurts.

Speaking of which, Marquis Kang Ning was worried about hiring five stable wives because of his husband's birth, and insisted on holding Dr. Li on. This fact has already spread throughout Furong Town. After all, the ancient people didn’t have too many entertainment items. The gossip of each family is inevitably the focus of these people’s attention, let alone the affairs of the Kangning Mansion. Now even if the chef of the Kangning Mansion has made any new dishes No matter what new clothes Mrs. Hou has changed, it can become the talk of this group of people for several days.

When Shen Xiangyan picked up the fan and started to fan him, Xia Rong knew that this was the husband, don't ask him why he knew, Shuang'er's sixth sense. Xia Rong was lying there only because the weather was too hot, his whole body was lazy, and he didn't want to move at all. Xia Rong enjoyed the wind from her husband's fan, and lay there for a while, seeing that her husband was only fanning the fan and didn't talk to him. Finally couldn't help opening one eye, wanting to see what Xianggong was doing, but what he saw was that Xianggong was smiling at him clearly, as if he was sure that he was not asleep.

Xia Rong snorted twice, and coquettishly said in dissatisfaction, "I want to eat lychees, you peel them for me." Whoever asked Xianggong to deliberately tease him, he is not lazy to do it himself.

Shen Xiangyan picked up the fruit plate on the table and looked at him dotingly, smiled and said, "Okay, okay, my husband will peel it for you." Then he peeled a lychee, but he didn't put it into Xia Rong's mouth, instead it was Put it into his own mouth, then leaned over and kissed the tender lips. Xia Rong only had time to let out a "sob", before a lychee was stuffed into his mouth, and then the lychee was passed between the two people's mouths, and finally entered Xia Rong's stomach.

"Do you still want to feed me? En?" Shen Xiangyan looked at the little husband on the bamboo couch who opened his eyes and stared at him. Move, when the time comes, it will be difficult to give birth, so I just want to tease him.

Seeing that Xia Rong shook his head and refused to let him feed him, Shen Xiangyan continued to coax, "Then Rong'er get up, how about going to the garden with my husband?" When Xia Rong heard that he was going to visit the garden, she lost interest at all. Although he knew that Xianggong was doing it for his own good, he just didn't want to move.

"Don't get up, does Rong'er want my husband to continue to feed you lychees?" As he said that, he was about to go to get the lychees, Xia Rong was really scared this time, and hurriedly waved his hands and was about to get up.

Shen Xiangyan stretched out his hand to help Xia Rong stand up, rubbed his head and said, "Let's just walk around, how about I make boiled fish for you in the evening after the walk?" Shen Xiangyan had cooked this dish once before, because it It was delicious and quite spicy, and Xia Rong was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable after eating it, so he only made it once. But Xia Rong fell in love with it after eating it once, Shen Xiangyan thought, at most, he should put less chili peppers when making it tonight, well, now he really does everything he can to coax Rong'er to follow him to exercise.

When Xia Rong heard that there was boiled fish to eat at night, she stopped complaining and let Shen Xiangyan hold his hand and started walking around the garden. The time Shen Xiangyan picked was just right, it was already past noon when the sun was shining, and most of the walks were in the shade of trees, so Xia Rong didn't feel too uncomfortable, but after all, they couldn't finish the whole walk today. After walking around for half a circle, I saw He Xin running towards them in a hurry.

Seeing He Xin running out of breath, Shen Xiangyan didn't rush to ask him, let him relax, and then asked, "What's the matter? You're in such a hurry."

Only then did He Xin finish Wan Fuli and replied, "Zhengjun, Young Master Gu gave birth. He said it happened last night, and he gave birth to twins." Xia Zhengjun.

When Xia Rong heard that Gu Chen had given birth, she was a little puzzled, didn't she say that the due date was half a month less. Seeing He Xin's appearance, Xia Rong became even more suspicious, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Gu, what happened?"

"The people who talked back and forth were people around Young Master Gu. Young Master Gu was pushed by someone, which led to the premature delivery. Fortunately, the midwives Hou Ye found for you are all capable, and the baby in your belly It's almost full-term, and there is half a hundred-year-old wild ginseng sent by Lord Hou before. Although this night is a bit dangerous, at least mother and child are safe."

He Xin tried to learn everything verbatim from the people from Gu's family, but he also blurred who the person who pushed Young Master Gu was, because he was afraid that Zheng Jun would be angry if he heard it. Xia Rong was eager to know who that person was, not to mention how much Brother Gu wanted this child, if God hadn't opened his eyes, it might have killed someone, and He Xin couldn't hide it now Asked, "Who has such vicious thoughts, did the person here tell you?"

"The one who pushed Young Master Gu was the girl named Xiaoyu who wanted to climb into Young Master Lu's bed before. She was locked in the rough envoy girl's room all the time, but somehow she ran out, and something like this happened."

Shen Xiangyan frowned, and also remembered that girl named Xiaoyu. At the beginning, he felt that Lu Tingsheng treated this girl too lightly. Even if this Xiaoyu was given to him by his mother, and he has some face, but if he wants to climb the bed, it is not an exaggeration to beat him to death. But the matter had already happened. Seeing Xia Rong's anxious face, Shen Xiangyan made an argument for Rong'er and told He Xin, "Go to Lu's Village yourself, bring some medicinal herbs for your body, and take half a root of wild ginseng there. .It can also be regarded as a statement for you Zhengjun, I think Lu Tingsheng will know what to do."

"What Xianggong said is, He Xin, you go there yourself and take a closer look at Brother Gu's situation." Xia Rong also thought of it, and for the first time, he was glad that his identity was completely different from the past through Xianggong. This kind of thing happened to Brother Gu, and he gave birth to Shuang Er. He and Lu Tingsheng's mother must be on the same page. At this time, the people who serve him personally go to visit, which also represents their Kangninghou Mansion. Meaning, before Mother Lu wanted to do something, she would also think about everything for his and her husband's sake.

He Xin saluted, and accepted the order happily, "Yes, slave girl will go now."

After Shen Xiangyan saw He Xin go down, he was afraid that Xia Rong would think too much, so he picked him up and walked to the Haitang courtyard, "Don't worry, Rong Er, the person who came here said that Brother Gu and the child are all safe and sound. As long as everyone is here, it's fine. Rong'er's biggest task now is to eat well and sleep well, so as to give birth to our little baby smoothly."

Xia Rong knew that Xianggong cared about him, and was willing to respond. She put her arms around Xianggong's neck, leaned her head on Xianggong's shoulder, and nodded slightly in agreement, "Rong'er knows, Rong'er is just a little worried about Big Brother Gu." But Rong'er is very lucky, fortunately, no one will give you a house girl."

"That's right, there's a small vinegar bag at home, and I don't dare to provoke others." Shen Xiangyan said this in a tone full of indulgence and helplessness, as if it was true.

Xia Rong didn't want to do it after hearing this, she thumped her husband's chest and said, "You are the little vinegar bag, not Rong'er."

"Yes, sir, I'm jealous, I wish Rong'er could only see me as a husband in her eyes." Although the tone of saying this was a joke, Shen Xiangyan knew that what he said was extremely serious, and this was the last thing in his heart. The dark side. Fortunately Xia Rong loves him equally, otherwise Shen Xiangyan wouldn't know what he would do.

Although at the beginning, I only regarded the person in my arms as a responsibility to come here and integrate into this place, a partner who can let go of my feelings. But when it started, the person in my arms became more important than me, I wanted to give him the best, I wanted to make him happy, so that he could never leave me. Shen Xiangyan didn't dare to think deeply about it. This is probably the reason why he found so many stable women and made so many preparations for Xia Rong's delivery. He was always afraid in his heart that any accident would happen to Xia Rong during delivery, even if it might just be just in case.

—————

Seeing the midwife coming out with the baby, Lu Tingsheng pushed open the door of the delivery room and went in without even looking at it. What he saw was the bloodless Gu Chen, lying there motionless like a rag doll. Lu Tingsheng couldn't help stretching out his trembling hand, and ran over his sweaty temple hair, until he got up the courage to put his hand under Gu Chen's nose, feeling that he was still breathing, and finally couldn't help hugging the person on the bed tightly.

Lu Tingsheng had never hated his womanly kindness so much. Obviously he could reject his mother from the beginning, he could deal with her directly when he entered the mansion, he could order someone to beat that daring servant to death when he dared to climb into his bed. He just spared the other party time and time again, and whoever was the one who was harmed was not his Chen'er who was wronged again and again, and in the end he almost died.

Lu Tingsheng couldn't help but clenched his fists, turned his head and told the people beside Gu Chen, "Drag that Xiaoyu to the yard, gag him, beat him to death with sticks, and let them all take a good look at him, look at him." What is the end of this servant who dares to make up his mind?"

The servant was obviously frightened by Lu Tingsheng's viciousness at this moment, he stuttered for a long time before replying "yes", and then hurriedly ran out.

Lu Tingsheng didn't even look at that person, he caressed Gu Chen's pale face and whispered, "Chen'er, don't be afraid, my husband is right here. From now on, my husband will definitely not make you feel wronged, okay? In the future, you must Stop scaring me like that."

When He Xin came, he saw Lu Tingsheng half-embracing Young Master Gu, who was still unconscious. Seeing this scene, He Xin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, why bother if he knew today. After handing over all the medicinal materials brought over to the manager of Lu Zhai, He Xin did not leave. He still waited for Young Master Gu to wake up before leaving in peace, otherwise Zheng Jun would have to clamor to come in person after returning.
