Shen Nanxun could only rest assured that Xiangzhou was in the hands of the Shen family, so he could only stay in Xiangzhou anxiously and worriedly.
It is precisely because of this that Shen Nanxun dealt with Titu fiercely that year, so that Tutu could only dare to make small troubles in these years, and was no longer able to make large-scale attacks.
The day after Shen Nanxun came back was the full moon ceremony, and he didn't even have time to take a good look at Lu Fenghe and the child.
After the full moon ceremony was over, Shen Nanxun only inquired about the situation in the house and saw that his wife and children were safe. He didn't pay attention to other things. From the current situation, it seemed that something terrible happened in the backyard.
"How much do you remember when your mother-in-law came to the house?"
Fu'an tried his best to recall, but all he could remember were superficial things.
"My in-laws, the old lady and the fourth wife live in Qixiayuan. They have lived in the house for less than a month. Except for the maids who sweep the yard, they are all served by their servants. They occasionally eat from the big house. When I go to the kitchen, I usually go to the small kitchen where I eat with my wife in Bailuyuan."
"No more?"
Fu'an nodded, "I rarely go to the backyard, and my knowledge is limited."
From this point of view, there is no problem at all. The county prince's palace is actually quite big. Even though they have only lived in Kyoto for the past ten years, this was the prince's palace before Gaozu gave it to him.
Needless to say about the front yard, there are nine neatly named yards in the back yard, with three lines on the left, middle and right scattered in an orderly manner.
The first one to the east is Bailu Garden, and Qixia Garden is just behind Bailu Garden. It's only a hundred steps away from the back garden corridor. There will be no problem for the Lu family to live there.
Fu'an thought for a while and said, "Perhaps Nanny Xu will know better."
Aunt Xu was Shen Nanxun's nanny. When Shen Nanxun was not married, she had been taking care of Shen Nanxun's food and clothing in the front yard. After Shen Nanxun got married, Aunt Xu went to Lu Fenghe's side.
When Brother Bai turned one year old, Aunt Xu left the house to follow her son to take care of him in old age.
Nanny Xu's two sons can be regarded as useful people to Shen Nanxun. The eldest son is in his hometown in the northwest and is now in charge of the land and residence of the Shen family's hometown. The younger son followed Shen Nanxun to Kyoto and lives in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing. After being fooled by the village head, Nanny Xu lived with her younger son in a hot spring village on the outskirts of Beijing.
Shen Nanxun thought for a moment, "Send a letter to Xu Er, saying that my sister is born and asking Nanny Xu to return home."
Fu'an responded.
"Go and call Xichun in again."
"yes."
Even if Shen Nanxun only heard two or three sentences, he could guess what the problem was. The wife of the Zhao family talked about living in their house, which meant that her mother-in-law was not comfortable living in the palace.
There were only a few mistresses in the house. Apart from his own mother, he could not think of anyone else who could make his mother-in-law unhappy. Only his own mother could make her unhappy. Lu Fenghe felt resentful but did not dare to say anything.
Shen Nanxun had always thought that his own mother was an old lady with little knowledge but also great wisdom. Unexpectedly, she didn't see much of her great wisdom, but a lot of big plans.
He also thought that Lu Fenghe wanted to go to Shanfutang yesterday to bring his brother back, but he was afraid that there were still many things he didn't know.
Lu Fenghe was a sensible person and knew that he was filial and would not easily tell him about his elders' faults, so he always thought that there was no mess in their house.
Nothing can withstand scrutiny, and one will inevitably cast doubt on many things.
Just like Shen Erlang's wind cough in the winter when Brother Bao was born.
It is true that Prince Dingxi is in poor health, but Prince Dingxi is not innately weak. It is because his two brothers were already born. The young and energetic prince was swimming in the river together, but his skills were inferior and he choked on the water, which left the root of the disease. .
As for their brothers, they all grew up on a horse farm. How could they have been coughing for a whole season and not have any symptoms at all?
Moreover, is it true that Shen Erlang is so coughed that he cannot go to Huizhou or even leave the house?
Shen Nanxun understands that if all coincidental things come together, it will not be a coincidence.
Everything finally pointed to Fushantang, but Shen Nanxun felt that his mother, Mrs. Chen, did not have this strategy. Besides, he had written to his father to ask Erlang to replace him.
It's not that Shen Nanxun looks down on his mother, it's that he knows his mother too well.
Prince Shen Mian of Dingxi County was also born and raised on a northwest racecourse, while Princess Chen was just the daughter of a local squire and didn't even know a few words before she got married.
In the first few years after her marriage, she followed the late old princess to learn how to run the business. After the old princess left, she was in charge for a few years, but her management was in a mess.
Later, Shen Mian drowned and injured his heart and lungs. He could no longer run horses, and he couldn't even go before the battle. Almost all the power in the family returned to Shen Mian.
After returning to Beijing, even Chen Mian, who was in charge of Shen Mian, could not get involved at all. It can be said that the old lady has been a beetle for almost half her life.
At first, Shen Nanxun thought that his father and mother got married because of their youthful love. After all, they were too close to each other for this one.
Later, when Shen Nanxun learned about the word love, he discovered that his father only had responsibility for his mother and had no feelings at all. On the contrary, his long-dead grandmother seemed to be more protective of her mother.
Seeing that the sun was turning to the west, although there were questions in his head, Shen Nanxun would not let others find fault in what he should do.
Shen Nanxun went to Fushan Hall first, and had dinner soon. Fushan Hall was quite full of people, and almost all the masters of the house were there, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere.
Shen Nanxun seemed to hear the crying in his ears again.
Shen Nanxun felt agitated and wanted to turn around and go back to Bailu Garden immediately.
It was the second wife, Mrs. Liu, who was the first to see Shen Nanxun.
"Uncle is here? My sister-in-law is feeling better. I'll send the little girl over in the afternoon and say that the Zhao family's wife is still here, so I won't bother her."
Shen Nanxun nodded, "No problem, thank you for your concern."
Mrs. Chen also saw Shen Nanxun, "Da Lang, come and sit down quickly. I see you are so thin, Mrs. Lu, too. Mr. Lang came back from running around, but there was no one busy helping him to replenish his body."
Shen Nanxun unconsciously looked at everyone in the hall. Erlang Shen Beirui stood up and bowed to him as a greeting.
Mrs. Liu grabbed Brother Feng who was running around and curled her lips in dissatisfaction upon hearing this.
"He Niang is still in bed, she..."
Mrs. Chen interrupted Shen Nanxun, "Sister Qian, hurry up and bring some tea for your eldest cousin."
Following Chen's words, Shen Nanxun saw Lin Qian sitting behind a corner tea table. She said she was her cousin, but she didn't know how many rooms away she was.
Lin Qian's maternal grandfather is Chen's uncle, that is to say, brother Shen Nanxun and cousin Lin Qian are relatives on the first and second cousins' lists.
Lin Qian lowered her head gently, "Yes, cousin, sit down for a moment."
Shen Nanxun always felt awkward looking at her. Lin Qian was an out-and-out Northwest woman, much taller than a Kyoto woman. Once she was tall, she would not feel weak even if she was skinny.
