Chapter 314 Xiaojiu, Come and Pick One

Chapter 314 Xiaojiu, Come and Pick One

Shen Tingxue twitched the corners of her mouth.

What a fat pig, it's a naive little piggy!
Rong Zhan asked Xuanfeng to casually throw a big box to Shen Zhi.

Shen Zhi opened it and took a look, they were all golden cakes.

So Ba Gongzi was instantly satisfied, and immediately accepted the gift for Chu Ba to take it back and hide it.

Get rich, get rich, full of boxes of silver!
The eighth son was about to get his birthday gift, so everyone took their seats.

In order to hold a birthday banquet for Shen Tingxue, Rong Zhan borrowed the imperial chef from the palace.

Although Emperor Ren wanted to hit him angrily, but in the end not only did he not hit him, he even rewarded Shen Tingxue and Shen Zhi with a lot of things to celebrate their birthdays at the General's Mansion.

His Majesty the Emperor has done a good job, but in fact, internal injuries have already been suppressed.

Because we have to go out in the afternoon, everyone didn't drink much, but we ate a lot after ordering.

After the bustle and bustle, Shen Tingxue went back to rest for half an hour.

Then the family rode to the countryside.

Bai Ci's tomb is not far from Sanli Mountain.

The surrounding scenery is pleasant, the trees are lush, and few people come to disturb.

Every year on Ching Ming and death days, Shen Qi would bring his younger siblings over to sweep the tomb and pay respects, and usually there would be old servants to clean the tomb.

So the cemetery was kept clean.

It's just that it's winter now, the trees are slack, the grass is withered and yellow, and the bare branches are quite desolate.

The closer she was to the cemetery, the uglier Shen Tingxue's face would be.

Her mother left when she was six years old. Before she was six years old, her mother accompanied her every day and taught her a lot.

The mother is gentle and beautiful, and she is very protective of her. Even if she is mischievous and does something wrong, she will always protect her first.

The days when my mother is with me are always so warm and happy.

Bai Ci has been gone for so many years, Shen Tingxue felt as if a thorn had grown in her heart, and the thorn would prick her and make her feel uncomfortable.

Bai Ci's illness was so sudden and without warning that Shen Tingxue couldn't accept that her mother left them forever.

In addition to the Shen family, Yang Shinan, Shen Ye, and Shen Ge were also accompanying them.

When Bai Ci took his daughters to the frontier before, he treated them as his own sons, prepared clothes and daily necessities for them, and left them a share of any delicious food.

They all lost their parents when they were young and were adopted by Shen Chengting.

Therefore, Baici is another mother to them.

King Dingbei also came.

He came by himself.

When they arrived outside the cemetery, everyone got off their horses.

The tomb of Bai Ci is very simple and unremarkable.

Shen Chengting knew that his wife didn't care about these things either.

It's just that when he came back after many years and saw his wife's tombstone, he still couldn't help the red eyes.

A big man stood by the tombstone, stretched out his hand and gently caressed the tombstone, trembling slightly, speechless for a long time.

"Mom, my brothers and I came to see you."

Shen Tingxue bent down to arrange the sacrifices, then knelt in front of the tomb, her eyes were very red.

She rubbed her eyes hard, tried her best to hold back her tears, and muttered: "Mother, my brothers and I are fine, and dad is fine too. You don't have to worry about us over there."

"Mother, I have a lot to say to you, but I don't know how to say it. I... miss you very much."

Shen Tingxue bit her lip, lowered her eyes slightly, but she still couldn't hold back her tears.

Little crying bag didn't want to cry today, she wanted to come and tell her mother that everyone in the family is fine.

She is about to get married.

But the moment she saw the tombstone, she couldn't help but feel the sadness in her heart.

Such a good mother, why did you leave her so early.

The little girls in other families had mothers who grew up with them, but she didn't.

She grew up without a mother, and without her father and elder brother to accompany her.

Fortunately, there are three brothers...

The little girl wept softly.

Shen Chen sighed softly, then took his brothers and sisters to kowtow to his mother a few times, and said with a smile: "Mother, Xiaoba and Xiaojiu are adults now, and Xiaojiu and King Dingbei are engaged. I'm about to get married."

"Don't worry, your little Jiu is excellent, and your future husband is also excellent."

Rong Zhan knelt down at the side, looked at the tombstone and said seriously: "Mother, I am Rong Zhan, Xue'er's fiancé."

Everyone: "..."

Damn, you are so impolite, you just opened your mouth and called mother.

Rong Zhan held Shen Tingxue's hand tightly and continued: "Mother, Xueer is the best girl in the world, thank you very much for teaching her so well, you can rest assured that Xueer will be with me in the future, I will definitely She will not be wronged in any way, nor will anyone bully her, let alone let her down, you can rest assured."

He stretched out his hand to help the little girl wipe away her tears and said with a smile, "Today is a good day, don't cry."

"Ah."

Shen Tingxue sucked her nose, trying to hold back her tears, looked at the tombstone with clear eyes and said, "Mother, Shisan is very good to me, I believe it must be your blessing from heaven that my daughter can find such a good girl." man."

"In the future, Shisan and I will come to see you often. Don't worry, the brothers are all fine. They love Xiao Jiu very much, and we will take good care of Daddy."

Shen Tingxue's brothers and sisters retreated after finishing speaking, leaving Shen Chengting alone time to accompany Bai Ci.

Shen Chengting took out the flagon at his waist, uncorked the cork and took a sip, with faint tears glistening in the corners of his eyes.

"Ci'er, I'm sorry it took me so long to see you, you must blame me, right?"

"In the past, we were husband and wife for more than ten years. Except for the first few years, I was with you all the time. After that, you stayed in Beijing to take care of the children, and I only came back once every few years in the frontier."

"I married you back, but I failed to accompany you well. After all, I violated my original oath."

"Being able to marry you in this life is the greatest blessing in my life, but it is my incompetence to let you suffer in Beijing with your children after marrying you."

"Ci'er, I really miss you..."

Shen Tingxue and his brothers walked a little further, admiring the scenery in the mountains.

Although this place is remote, it is a good place with pleasant scenery and self-cultivation.

At the beginning when Shen Chen chose this for his mother, he just hoped that his mother would be quieter.

Mother's life was not peaceful before her death. Shen's family's house was a monster all day long, and Mrs. Shen even made troubles in different ways.

Fortunately, my mother has a tenacious temperament and strict methods to control the group of demons and ghosts at home, but there are only a few days of quietness.

Now sleeping forever in the valley embraced by these mountains can be regarded as fulfilling his wish.

Shen Chengting stayed in front of the tomb for a long time before coming out.

When it came out, the eye circles were still red.

It's just that he didn't want his children to see him, so he got on his horse and walked in front.

Shen Tingxue rode behind on a horse, looking at her father's lonely back, she couldn't help feeling sad from her heart.

How nice it would be if my mother was alive...

A group of people went back to the house, changed their clothes, and rode out again.

At noon, he celebrated his birthday in Fuchu, and in the evening Rong Zhan arranged a trip to the lake to eat boat dishes for Shen Tingxue to celebrate his birthday.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, Beijing and China are much more lively than before, especially the night market with many new gadgets.

There are also many foreigners who come to Beijing to do business, hoping to make a fortune during the Chinese New Year.

Rong Zhan took the little girl's hand and walked through the night market openly.

Xuanfeng Xuanche followed behind to get things.

The two soon became shelves, with things hanging on both arms and some hanging around their necks.

Later, I couldn't take it anymore, so I sent two people to send the things back two waves first, and this solved the problem.

After visiting the night market, the group went to the famous artificial lake Shuangxin Lake in the city.

Shuangxin Lake was built by a wealthy businessman many years ago. It took a lot of engineering and took many heat preservation measures to keep the temperature of Shuangxin Lake in winter and prevent it from freezing and making it impossible to parade.

The lake has already been parked with various colored boats.

There are many literati and scholars in Beijing, and it is very pleasant to go on a boat with tourists, listen to music, recite poems and paint when there is nothing to do.

There are also some wealthy businessmen who like to take a group of girls from flower houses on a boat to have fun, and they have a special style in the lake.

Xuanfeng came to rent the biggest painting boat yesterday.

Knowing that people from Dingbei Palace came to rent a boat for Miss Shen's birthday, the steward of Huafang personally took the boatman to greet her on the shore.

"Caomin has met the prince and several nobles."

"Everything has been prepared according to the prince's order. If there is anything necessary, just ask the little one."

"Well, go down, just leave the boatman behind."

"Yes, yes, you had a great time."

The manager hastily apologized.

Wen Hua threw two ingots of silver to the steward and said with a smile: "Today is the birthday of our lady and son, let's go have a glass of wine."

"Thank you, noble, thank you, I wish the two nobles good health and happiness."

The steward took the money and withdrew.

Rong Zhan got on the boat first, reaching out to help Shen Tingxue.

Unexpectedly, Shen Tingxue jumped on the naughty, and even jumped on the boat twice.

Fortunately, this painting boat is relatively big and heavy, so it doesn't matter if she jumps or jumps a few times.

The cabin was full of aromas, and the two imperial chefs were busy.

Boat dishes, also known as boat banquets, are popular in the south of the Yangtze River.

There is a stove in the cabin, and most of the dishes are seafood such as fish and shrimp.

When the boat sails to the middle of the lake, everyone can also fish by themselves, and the fish caught will be slaughtered and cooked by the cook on the spot.

Those who are too lazy to fish can bring their own ingredients or order food, and there will be special staff to provide fresh dishes.

These businesses are all connected together, exclusively undertaken by a wealthy businessman surnamed Lei.

Shen Tingxue heard that the business of Shuangxin Lake was the most prosperous when it was making a fortune every day, and she was so greedy.

The ancestor of the Lei family back then was too discerning.

There are many live fish and shrimps in the cabin that have not had time to be slaughtered.

There are also famous dishes such as eight-treasure duck, ham, and tamales are being prepared.

Shen Tingxue was inevitably curious about eating boat dishes for the first time. She stepped on her little leather boots and looked around in the cabin, and even reached out to poke the fish in the bucket for a while.

And Shen Chen and the others had already prepared fishing rods outside for fishing.

Shen Che and the others moved out two small tables, and placed jade plaques on the tables.

The so-called jade plaques are small plaques carved from jade, with different patterns on the plaques.

All the jade cards were mixed together and drawn, and those who won the flower had to drink alcohol, and those who couldn't answer could only be punished with a drink.

The one who wins the cat or dog must imitate the sound of a cat or a dog.

Unfortunately, Hachiko first drew a dog.

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

Shen Che and Shen Yi smiled and leaned forward and back together.

Shen Rong said helplessly: "Xiao Ba, you can only bark like a dog."

"I'm the birthday star, please let me."

Hachiko held the jade token in his hand and was about to cry.

Shen Yu raised her eyebrows, "How can it be done, do whatever you draw, you can't break the rules even if you are a birthday star, Xiao Jiu has to learn if you draw."

"Xiao Jiu, come and pick one."

"Okay."

Shen Tingxue ran over bouncingly, and touched a jade tablet casually.

Excitedly, she opened the jade tablet, and was dumbfounded when she saw the pattern on the jade tablet.
