It was rare that Shen Mao and his son returned home. Shen Mao and Da Feng's old couple had a tacit understanding when they met. Shen Mo and Tong, the couple, hugged their son and talked and laughed. Shen Jia and Lei Xiaoxue rubbed their temples together and were very happy.
affectionate.
At this time, it seemed that Feng Shaojun was quite alone.
Mrs. Feng felt sorry for her niece and hurriedly called Feng Shaojun to come forward and said with a smile: "Did Shiro come back from delivering a letter today?"
Feng Shaojun pursed his lips and smiled, then nodded in agreement.
Everyone's eyes turned around immediately.
"What did the fourth brother write in the letter?"
Shen Jia's eyes were shining and she couldn't wait to ask.
Feng Shaojun smiled and said: "I said that marching is not too hard, but the food in the army is too bad. I eat dry pancakes three times a day." I just wish I didn't bring some beef jerky..."
Before he finished speaking, everyone started laughing.
Especially Shen Jia, who laughed so much that his belly hurt: "Oh, you laughed so hard. My fourth brother is never picky about food, but now he is forced to eat beef jerky. Hahahaha!"
Shen Mao smiled and glared at Shen Jia: "If it were you, I wouldn't be able to hold on for a few days at most. Do you think marching and fighting are a joke?"
"Twenty thousand people are marching, and it will be good if they can have dry biscuits to fill their stomachs."
The biggest hardships Shen Jia had ever experienced in his life were just not being able to move around on the ship, or having only two dishes for a meal. He had never experienced real hardship at all.
"Yes!" Shen Mo took over the conversation with envy in his tone: "I usually work as an errand in the palace and have never actually led troops to fight in a battle. If there is such an opportunity, I would also like to go to the battlefield for real.
"
When a man makes great achievements, he sacrifices his life to make a career. Living in the capital is indeed comfortable, but there are no opportunities for promotion.
When Shen Mo said this, Shen Jia also sighed a little: "That day when I heard that my fourth brother was going out with the army, all the guards in the East Palace were so envious that their eyes turned red. Even I heard a lot of sarcastic words."
There are a thousand personal guards in the East Palace, and there are more than a hundred people who are qualified to serve as servants for the prince. All of them are born in generals and are very brave.
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, these personal guards will be the backbone of the force loyal to the new emperor.
Shen You was one step ahead and had been sent to lead the troops in the war to earn his seniority and gain merit. How could he not arouse the envy and hatred of others?
Shen You was not in the East Palace, and in the end, Shen Jia silently endured everything.
Feng Shaojun pursed his lips and smiled, looked at Shen Jia and said softly: "Third brother, I would like to thank you on behalf of cousin Yu."
Shen Jia grinned and said: "I just said it casually, why did you take it seriously? In fact, I am in a very good mood. No one knows who I am on weekdays. During this period, when I walked inside and outside the East Palace, I met people everywhere.
I, this is all because of my fourth brother."
It made everyone laugh.
Shen Jia was really happy for his brother, and he was not sour at all. However, he was also a little dissatisfied with Shen You: "The fourth brother used to be the closest to me. Now that he has married a wife, he has forgotten me, the third brother. He doesn't even write to him.
I’ll write one.”
Da Feng smiled and rolled her eyes at her son: "It would be the same for you. Think about it for yourself, if you leave the capital for half a month and rarely have time to write a letter, should you write it to Xiaoxue or your fourth brother?"
Shen Jia responded without hesitation: "Of course I wrote to my mother first."
Feng Shaojun gave Shen Jia a thumbs up in his heart.
Sure enough, Mrs. Feng was so coaxed that she was elated: "Finally, I didn't raise you for so many years in vain."
When you write a reply later, remember to remind Shen You.
Feng Shaojun thought silently.
…
From that day on, Shen Mao and his son paid special attention to the battle reports coming from Jizhou. If there was any movement, they would immediately send a letter back home. There was no news about Shen You for a while. However, General He led the troops to win the battle.
A few days later, Cui Yuanhan came to Shen's house to take Feng Shaojun back to Cui's house.
Da Feng reluctantly held Feng Shaojun's hand: "Shaojun, you can move to Cui's house and come back often in the future."
Mrs. Tong hugged Brother Jin and said softly: "Fourth brother and sister, we all miss you too."
Lei Xiaoxue was more direct: "I will go to Cui's house to find you in the future."
Feng Shaojun smiled and agreed one by one, said goodbye to Mrs. Feng and his two sisters-in-law, and got into the carriage.
After walking far away, Feng Shaojun lifted the car curtain and looked out, and saw the three figures of the Feng family standing at the door, waving to her repeatedly.
Feng Shaojun rarely felt guilty and sighed to Cui Yuanhan: "My aunt is so good to me, and my second sister-in-law and my third sister-in-law are easy to get along with. I insist on moving away, am I going too far?"
Cui Yuanhan glanced at her with a smile: "If you are really sorry, I will ask the driver to turn the car around and take you back to Shen Mansion."
Feng Shaojun laughed and said: "Cousin, you have become more and more unlovable after you got married."
Cui Yuanhan said with a joking smile: "Of course. In the past, my cousin was the most important in my heart. Now the first one is your cousin-in-law and the child who is about to be born."
Speaking of this, Feng Shaojun suddenly felt guilty: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to travel back and forth. My cousin is pregnant with Liujia, but you couldn't stay with my cousin."
Cui Yuanhan was not polite to her: "As soon as I take you back to Cui's house, I have to leave for Pingjiang Mansion. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with your cousin's delivery."
After a pause, he added: "Grandma wants to stay in the capital for a while longer."
Mrs. Xu couldn't bear to part with her granddaughter.
Feng Shaojun said softly: "I can take care of myself. Let grandma go back to Pingjiang Mansion with you!"
Cui Yuanhan smiled helplessly and said: "I can't persuade my grandmother. When you go back, please persuade her!"
Feng Shaojun nodded.
…
The carriage traveled for more than half an hour and arrived at Cui's house.
Mrs. Xu had been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing the carriage approaching slowly, she hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to greet it.
After not seeing each other for a month, I felt indescribable joy when my grandparents reunited.
Trivial matters such as arranging luggage are left to Mother Zheng to take care of, and Feng Shaojun does not have to worry about them. Feng Shaojun held Xu's hand and entered the inner room.
Mrs. Xu looked at her carefully and smiled happily: "You have been married for so long, and your complexion is better than before. It shows that you are living a good life in the Shen family."
Feng Shaojun laughed softly and said: "My aunt is generous to me, my second sister-in-law is gentle, my third sister-in-law is cheerful, my family is harmonious, and my life is relaxed."
It is Feng Shaojun's blessing to marry into such a husband's family.
Mrs. Xu couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that you don't want to stay in the house all day and live a peaceful life as a husband and a child."
yes!
Pity!
After a few months to get married and a month after getting married, she was really bored. How could she live such a life for the rest of her life?
No matter how good the Shen family is, they can't stay for long. They can only tolerate the great Feng family's kindness.
Feng Shaojun sighed secretly and smiled at Mrs. Xu: "Grandma, my cousin is about to give birth. My cousin has to leave for Pingjiang Mansion. Grandma should also go back with my cousin!"
