The unmarried couple gathered together and had almost endless things to say.
However, they cannot be left alone all the time.
Jiang estimated that the time was almost up, so she sent her maid to send a message, asking Shen Xu to stay for lunch.
This actually means euphemistically expelling guests.
Shen Xu didn't react for a moment, so he happily agreed. He came with the maid and smiled at his future mother-in-law: "Today at noon, I will have dinner with my mother-in-law."
Jiang was secretly amused, but she couldn't tell her future uncle to leave, so she smiled and nodded in agreement.
Shen Xu was lively, laughing, sweet-tongued, and now he used all his skills to make his future mother-in-law happy. Jiang was so happy that at noon, she simply called Yuan Yue over.
With the elders around, it was inconvenient for Shen Xu to talk to Yuan Yue more, but flirting with each other was indispensable.
Mr. Jiang saw this and felt pleased.
After making a marriage arrangement, the couple will get married sooner or later. If they have a good relationship now, they will definitely be a loving couple in the future.
After Shen Xu left, Mrs. Jiang wrote a letter to her husband Yuan Lin. She had to praise her future uncle and her husband's good vision.
A few days later, Yuan Lin received a letter from home. After reading it, he couldn't help but laugh: "This kid Shen Xu is really good at coaxing people. Not long after we got engaged, my future mother-in-law is already completely attracted to him."
Yuan Jiang felt a little awkward in his heart, so he snorted and said, "You're taking advantage of this little bastard."
Yuan Lin was very satisfied with Shen Xu. Shen Xu made a special trip back to the border town a year ago to accompany Cui Dalang to the wedding. He also made a special trip to visit his future father-in-law, which showed his sincerity.
Yuan Lin smiled and said to Yuan Jiang: "After two years, Shen Xu and Yue'er get married, and they will definitely come to the border town. By then, Yue'er will be very close to us. On the holiday, we can go see her .”
Yuan Jiang stroked his beard.
This is true.
Her mother's family is so close. That boy Shen Xu can't even think of bullying her.
…
At this time, Feng Shaojun had already packed his bags and was ready to leave.
Da Feng couldn't bear to leave and sighed: "It will take at least another two years for you to leave."
Feng Shaojun pursed his lips and smiled: "In two years, Xu'er will get married, and Shen You and I will come back together. At that time, the third brother and the third sister-in-law will also return to Beijing. The whole family will be able to get together."
Da Feng held Feng Shaojun's hand: "Can't we stay here for a while longer?"
Feng Shaojun held Da Feng's hand and coaxed with a smile: "It's been two months since Hao'er and I came back, and it's time to go back. Counting the days, the third sister-in-law is almost five months pregnant. I can't worry. , go back early to stay with her."
When she mentioned Lei Xiaoxue's pregnancy, Mrs. Feng was so happy that she grinned from ear to ear: "Your third sister-in-law has a hot temper. She likes riding horses, shooting arrows, and running around. I can feel more at ease when you are by her side."
Then, he reached out and touched Shen Hao's beautiful and gentle face: "My dear, she's still young. Don't rush to get engaged to her. You can stay for a few more years."
Shen Hao was not ashamed and smiled sweetly at Da Feng: "Don't worry, uncle, I have already thought about it. In the future, I will be like cousin Miao, marrying in Jiangjunfang. My mother misses me, she can do it at any time see me."
Da Feng was so amused that she exchanged a look with Feng Shaojun, and then asked Shen Hao with a smile: "Haoer, do you also like someone?"
There must be at least five or six of Shen Hao's little sweethearts. Among them, those who are closest in age to Shen Hao and have the closest contact are Fang Silang and Cui Sanlang.
I don’t know who Shen Hao is attracted to.
Shen Hao rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it in two years, I'm still young!"
This girl has no clue at all!
Da Feng smiled again.
Feng Shaojun also smiled, stretched out his hand to hold his daughter's hand: "Good boy's marriage, there is no rush for now. We will talk about it in a few years."
At this moment, a maid came in: "Madam Qi, the third girl from the Yuan family is here to see Madam and Miss off."
It's Yuan Yue who's here.
Yuan Yue walked in with a smile, bowed her hands and said, "I heard that Madam and Sister Hao'er are leaving Beijing today, so I came here to see you off. I only hope that you will have a safe journey."
Feng Shaojun felt that his future daughter-in-law had this kind of intention, and responded with a smile: "Thank you for coming to see me off."
Shen smiled happily and stepped forward: "Sister Yue'er, I will write to you when I get back."
Yuan Yue happily agreed.
The two future sisters-in-law had similar temperaments. They only met three times and formed a deep friendship.
…
On the way back, everything went smoothly, there is nothing much to say.
It wasn't until we were approaching the border town that an accident happened.
"Mom!" In the darkness, Shen Hao was awakened by the strange movement and suddenly held Feng Shaojun's hand: "What's the sound outside?"
There were shouts of beating and killing, and there was the sound of swords clashing!
"Don't be afraid," Feng Shaojun comforted his daughter in a deep voice. He quickly got down and lit the fire. The room suddenly lit up. After all, Shen Hao was still young and had not experienced such a battle, so his face turned white with fear.
Feng Shaojun listened attentively for a moment, then turned to tell Shen Hao: "You stay in the room, I'll go out and take a look."
Shen Hao was so frightened that he quickly put on his clothes: "Mother, I will go out with you."
Feng Shaojun didn't stop him, held his daughter's hand and left the house.
It turned out that they were a group of daring thieves who had been targeting the post house for a long time. In the evening, Feng Shaojun and his daughter entered the post house under the guard of a group of guards. The dozens of carriages caught the eye of the thieves, and they rushed into the post house in the middle of the night. Come to burn, kill, loot and torture.
This group of habitual criminals kicked the iron plate and were killed by a group of powerful guards who were unable to fight back. When Feng Shaojun and Shen Hao went out, most of the criminals had been killed.
The thick smell of blood spread everywhere.
Shen Hao was no longer afraid now. He took a deep breath and took out a sharp dagger from his arms.
Feng Shaojun glanced at his daughter approvingly: "Don't panic if you encounter thieves when you go out. You have been practicing martial arts for many years, but you have never seen such a battle. Let the dagger see blood today."
Shen Hao nodded, held the dagger, and killed a thief who was already seriously injured.
The thief's blood splashed out, staining Shen Hao's pink skirt with blood.
At this moment, a guard came to report with a serious face: "Madam Qi, all the thieves have surrendered, and a few have thrown away their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy."
Feng Shaojun said calmly: "Leave two alive and kill the rest."
The guards were ordered to retreat.
After a while, another report came: "The thieves confessed that their den is thirty miles away. Moreover, there are also traders in the den who looted the past few days."
Feng Shaojun frowned: "Leave half of the people to guard here, and you lead the other half of the guards to crush this den of thieves."
After dawn, the guards left and returned, bringing back a young man of thirteen or fourteen who was covered in wounds and dying.
The thieves robbed and killed the merchant, leaving only this half-grown boy.
Shen Hao's eyes fell on the young man's pale and handsome face, and he said softly: "Mom, what should I do with him?"
