Chapter 391 Shen Quan's Secret

Seeing the doubt in her eyes, Shen Quan smiled lightly, "It will be Mrs. Lu's birthday in a few days, and the invitation will be sent to our house in two days!"

I see!Yao Cunhui couldn't help feeling ashamed.She is still far from being a qualified and competent mistress of the palace. Just remembering the birthdays of relatives in the palace is far from enough. One must have an understanding of the situation of the big families in the capital!
"Mother Rong," Yao Cunhui nodded and looked up at Mama Rong.

"Princess, don't worry, the old slave will ask someone to pack up in a while!" Rong Ma said with a smile.

They didn't talk all night, and when Shen Quan came back from the yamen the next day, the two left the house with Xiao Xing, Xiao Li and the buckwheat that she took care of when she was suffering from smallpox.Everything about Xihetang was handed over to Rong Ma, Hemerocallis, and Rhizoma Polygonum.

Shen Quan and Yao Cunhui left the mansion in the morning, and in the afternoon, a decent lady in charge came to Lu Manor to greet Old Madam Shen, Mrs. Xiao, and Princess Wang. Of course, there was also the matter of handing over invitations.

Old Madam Shen naturally wouldn't go to congratulate the younger generation, so she smiled and said to Mrs. Xiao, "What do you think about this matter? It just so happened that the third granddaughter-in-law recovered from a serious illness and went to the Zhuangzi to recuperate, and the fourth granddaughter-in-law was also sick. I'm afraid it won't be possible Go back and kowtow to her mother to celebrate her birthday!"

Mrs. Shen's voice became a little low as she spoke, with a sullen look on her face, she was born as a second wife and now she doesn't even have a head of the house, so she had to let Mrs. Xiao figure it out.

Mrs. Xiao naturally didn't want to go to the Lu family, but it was much better for her to go than Yao Cunhui. At least, the Lu family dared to tell Yao Cunhui but did not dare to say in front of her.

"They are all relatives, go back and tell your eldest lady that I will definitely go! She can't be bothered!" Madam Xiao then said to the lady in charge with a smile.

Although the lady in charge couldn't see the concubine, she was secretly disappointed, but Mrs. Xiao had already agreed to go to her errand, which was considered complete. Seeing that Mrs. Shen's expression was not very good, she didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly smiled along with her After a few words of politeness, he got up to say goodbye.

Old Madam Shen didn't keep her either, she nodded and smiled and ordered Nanny Zhou to send her out.

In the hall, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were relatively silent.

"What's Quan'er's idea? As a grandmother, I'm not easy to ask. As a mother, you should be more concerned!" After a while, Old Madam Shen sighed softly.

Mrs. Xiao also frowns deeply upon hearing this, why doesn't she know?But what can she do?The overall situation is above, not what these people say can be done!Although the Lu family has the backing of the Queen Mother, it is not well-known. Not to mention that the Shen family has been favored by the emperor for several generations, it is impossible for the Lu family to use Shen Quan's temperament.But now it is the Lu family's world, does he dare to say that he is loyal to the emperor?Even for her, she agrees with Shen Quan's intention of remaining neutral and loyal to the court and country, but it is too hard for him!The balance in this is not so easy to grasp!

"I also know his difficulties! This child, alas! Forget it, let's take a look at it every day!" Mrs. Xiao doesn't need to say it, why can't Old Madam Shen understand it?

"Old Madam, you can enjoy your happiness with peace of mind. Quan'er has his own sense of propriety, and Hui'er, that child is also a smart and sensible child!" Mrs. Xiao's heart was sour, so she could only persuade Old Madam Shen with a smile.

Mrs. Shen was in a slightly relaxed mood, and unconsciously smiled and nodded: "You are right, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and we elderly people can't worry about it anymore! I can think of other things, Why isn't Hui'er's stomach moving yet? It's better than anything else to give birth to a son for Quan'er sooner!"

The blood of the long house cannot be broken, even if Shen Quan has an accident in the worst case, there is a child who inherits the incense, and there is always hope for the Shen family to recover in the future.As long as her old lady has the heart, it is not a problem to take good care of the child depending on the situation.

Mrs. Xiao's heart trembled subconsciously, and she was a little frightened at once, but she also knew that what Old Madam Shen said was true, and if that day really came, she would do everything she could to save the child.

"The eldest daughter of the Yao family married the eldest grandson of the Xie family in Jiang Ning weaving, but she was happy soon after entering the door, and our Hui'er must be not bad! It's just that there have been many things in the mansion these days, and now that it has calmed down, the daughter-in-law will get some prescriptions for her. Make up your body, you will definitely get pregnant soon!" Mrs. Xiao said with a smile holding back the pain in her heart.

Old Madam Shen nodded with a smile, "What I'm saying is, it's time for her to mend her body with peace of mind! Your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have always gotten along well!"

"That's Huier Zhili!" Mrs. Xiao smiled.

Yao Cunhui and Shen Quan came to Xiaocangding's Shen's other courtyard again, and the scenery they saw was different from the last time when the plum blossoms were like a sea, the trees were shady, the mountains and rivers set off, it was very quiet and quiet.During the walk, the eyes are clear and the heart is suddenly bright.Shen Quan loves his wife dearly, and he refuses to detain her when he comes out. He takes her around on horseback during the day, hunts pheasants and hares in the mountains and forests, picks mushrooms, wild flowers and fruits, and sits in the garden watching the moon for entertainment at night. , had a very leisurely time.

On this day, the two went to Xingling Village, where cotton is grown, to visit. Yao Cunhui went down to the field to see for himself. It is now the beginning of July, and the cotton has already bloomed and produced cotton balls.The cotton field is full of greenery and thriving, and Yao Cunhui is very happy to see it.According to this scale, it will develop year by year, and it will take shape in three to five years.If you are lucky, Xie Fuyun can directly purchase a large number of seeds from foreign countries and introduce planting management experience through foreign merchants. Within ten years, cotton will be spread all over Dazhou, which will bring huge benefits and convenience to the people of Dazhou. .

The two stayed at Xingling Manor for a whole day, and they returned to Xiaocangding in the evening.After a hasty dinner, Shen Quan read a book under the lamp. Yao Cunhui, Xiao Xing, and Xiao Li were busy recording what they saw and learned today. The master and servant were chatting, laughing and whispering softly. The warmth and tranquility.Looking at his wife's delicate face and tranquil expression, Shen Quan felt vaguely how peaceful the years have been.What he has been looking for all along is such a happy and peaceful day, and only his Huier can bring him such a day.

Going to bed late at night, Shen Quan pulled his beloved wife into his arms and hugged her tightly, his burning eyes pressed her tightly, and the passionate light almost burned Yao Cunhui to ashes.

"I, I'm a little tired today..." Facing her husband's burning enthusiasm, Yao Cunhui's heart beat violently, and she didn't dare to meet his eyes, she was defeated by just a light touch Dodging in a panic, her pretty face became unbearably hot and blushed.

When Shen Quan packed up and lay down, Yao Cunhui closed her eyes but automatically snuggled into his arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and found a comfortable place in his arms to sleep soundly .Shen Quan sighed contentedly, smiled gently, and stretched out his arms to embrace his wife.

"Hui'er, Hui'er!" After an unknown amount of time, Shen Quan suddenly called out to the woman in his arms in a low voice, and Yao Cunhui heard it in a daze but didn't bother to agree!
"Hui'er! Hui'er!" Shen Quan stopped seeing her answer and couldn't help but yelled twice, and gently pushed her.

Yao Cunhui was terribly frightened, how could she agree to him out loud, wouldn't that be making herself guilty?He pretended to be deaf and dumb more and more, and slept soundly.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Shen Quan didn't continue calling, but his next move surprised Yao Cunhui!Shen Quan got up and got out of bed lightly, quickly put on his clothes, and went out gently.

Hearing the door slightly opened and then closed again, Yao Cunhui's eyes opened silently, and she couldn't recover from a daze.Only then did she know that he didn't call her to do anything just now, but to test whether she was asleep or not.

As he wished, she fell asleep, so he quietly got up and went out.

Yao Cunhui was shocked and angry, and went out in the middle of the night to prepare for something!She never hid anything from him, she always thought that he trusted her and loved her as much as she did, she never doubted his feelings for her, but tonight, at this moment, everything had to be Cast a shadow of doubt!

Yao Cunhui hardly thought about it, and immediately got up and hurriedly dressed, and walked out of the room lightly. Seeing his figure flashing around the corner, she hurriedly quickened her pace and quietly followed.

Forget it if you don't find out, since she found out, she can't wait for him to come back and continue to lie down next to her as if nothing happened.Then, she tried her best to give him all kinds of hints to make him realize his mistake and forgive him!
That's too tiring, it's better for her to go directly to see it with her own eyes.

Yao Cunhui followed behind Shen Quan covertly, Shen Quan was very vigilant, stopping from time to time to glance around or turn around, Yao Cunhui's heart was pounding, and his palms were full of cold sweat.The more he behaved like this, the more serious the matter was, which made her not nervous.
