"Sanlang, is it okay to leave like this?" Zheng and Sheng Xiangxun walked out of Anhe Hall hand in hand. Seeing the light smile in his eyes, they couldn't help asking softly.
Sheng Xiangxun held Zheng's hand and shook it gently, then asked with a narrow-eyed smile: "Is Ling Niang afraid that the old man will drive us out of the house?"
Mrs. Zheng knew he was joking, but because the weather was excellent, the sun was bright and the spring breeze was warm, her mood was very light, so she deliberately joked: "I thought the Duke of Guo's roll was very thorough."
Sheng Xiangxun smiled and looked sideways at his wife, who happened to also look up.
Everything was just right.
Under the sunshine, her eyes were filled with a smile, and his heart was also filled with ripples.
"When my grandfather was here, he took over the title. Fearing that his favoritism for the Chang family would lead to discord between his concubines and concubines, he forced him to make his eldest brother the heir apparent early on. Later, he was worried that his private treasury would only be given to the sons of the Chang family, so he took it from himself. A large amount of property was allocated to me from his private treasury."
Sheng Xiangxun raised his hand and brushed away the broken hair from Zheng's ear: "My grandfather said at that time that all the deeds of those properties were transferred to me, but he also said that if the families were not separated, all the profits from the property would belong to the public. .
Now that the Duke's family is prosperous and he needs money for everything, you think... he can be willing to part with me? "
"That's it." Mrs. Zheng was stunned after hearing this. She nodded slowly, then stared at Sheng Xiangxun who was still sighing with a pair of loving eyes, and asked extremely gently, "It's just that I have been close to Sanlang for twenty years." Zai, how come you never knew about this industry?"
"???!!! I can explain!" When Sheng Xiangxun saw his wife smiling so kindly, he felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, and he hurriedly raised the little hand of his daughter in his arms to express his injustice, "I am not Do you want to give you a surprise when we separate in the future?"
Toolman Shengyuan's child: "..."
I’m so tired!
Sheng Yuan sighed and looked up at the little chubby paw being held up and shaken by his father. Sheng Yuan, who had already rolled his eyes once, couldn't help it, and then rolled it five or six times.
Seeing how nervous Mrs. Zheng was, she couldn't help but cover her lips and chuckle.
She was joking, but she could tell that his words were true. She felt very satisfied and nodded: "Okay, then I will wait to take over the property after the separation."
Sheng Xiangxun was startled by his wife and broke into a cold sweat. At this moment, he said especially: "I will give you the deed when we get back. We can take care of it when we move out the next day."
Zheng smiled and nodded, not continuing the topic.
Seeing that his wife was in a good mood, Sheng Xiangxun also breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that he was still holding his little girl's fat paw.
Eh? Does this little claw feel good?
Look down and take a closer look!
Hey, although this little girl's paws are not big, they are very fleshy. Look at the fleshy dimples on the back of her hands!
"Our little Jiuniang is so lucky!" He squeezed his daughter's little hand and called his wife to come and see her.
Sheng Yuan was so angry that she wanted to pull her father's ears. Don't think she couldn't hear it. At this time, people said that being fat is a blessing. Her father said she was blessed, so wasn't he just laughing at her for being fat?
"Don't touch her!" Ms. Zheng's quick eyesight and quick hands wrapped up the little girl's paw that was attacking her father. She gave her husband a look, then smiled and waved to Sheng Yuan, "Come, mother, hug you."
Sheng Xiangxun had just felt the claw wind of the little girl's sneak attack, and was immediately frightened. He touched his ears, patted his chest happily, and then repeatedly handed over to Mrs. Zheng: "Fortunately, my wife saved me, otherwise I would be afraid of my husband's ears." You are going to suffer a lot! Hey! I have nothing to show for as a husband, so I can only respectfully invite my wife to visit the garden."
He pretended to be a nerd and joked, which made Mrs. Zheng's hands itchy and she was unable to talk to him. But when she lowered her head, she had one in her arms and one at her hand. Both of her daughters stared at her round eyes. Looking at her with big eyes!
Immediately red clouds flew up to her cheeks, and she stepped on her husband angrily, then turned to leave.
"Aiya, madam, please go slowly. We'll wait for you, husband." Sheng Xiangxun didn't take it seriously and chased after her with a smile.
Sheng Yuan originally thought that her trip to the garden was in vain, but she didn't expect that the direction her mother was walking quickly was not the way home: "..."
Haha, the elders have such tricks, she should take them less seriously!
"Mom, why is my sister the third miss at home and Sheng Jiuniang outside, and my grandfather wants to call our daughter Linjun?" Probably because everyone was silent, Sheng An couldn't help but use her sister as an example to ask what was in her heart. Confused, "I didn't realize it before, but now everyone is shouting differently, and it feels a bit confusing."
Hearing this, Ms. Zheng slowed down, looked down at her second daughter, and explained her confusion with a smile: "Actually, going forward more than ten years, Da Chu rarely calls his wife, and they all refer to her as miss. It's just that A few years ago, when Da Qi returned to Chu, the customs there were different. People used to call Niangzi, so the people in the capital also followed suit, thus giving rise to the current mixed title.
Take your sister as an example. Sheng Jiuniang is the official name for elders, relatives and friends, or when dealing with people. Third Miss or Sheng Jiujiu Miss are the names for servants in the family or when dealing with official business.
As for the term "Nu Langjun" your grandfather mentioned, it was an earlier version, which tended to be honorific titles, such as "Nu Langjun" and "Nv Gongzi". Although they are still useful now, they are even rarer. "
Sheng Xiangxun followed up and answered: "Your grandfather is a person who likes retro. He calls other girls "nulangjun" and "gongzi" outside. This is especially true at home, as if calling him this way can make him more noble."
Hearing that Duke Sheng Guo liked to be retro, Zheng's first reaction was the style of Da Qi, and she was immediately worried: "Your Majesty has made it clear many times that he doesn't like the legacy of Da Qi, but now the Da Chu family is influenced by that..."
Zheng did not continue speaking until the end, but Sheng Xiangxun knew her worries very well. She was afraid that her father would follow the retro style of Da Qi and remove the legacy of foot binding and the like. If you go to the Duke's Mansion, won't you bring harm to your daughters?
"Don't worry, although the old man has lost his mind with Chang, he is very clear on important matters, especially speculation..." He pointed upward with his hand, "This retro is a hobby, but from the heart it is not It’s instinctive.”
Mrs. Zheng felt relieved after hearing this. When she was about to say a few more words, her second daughter asked curiously: "Dad, what does it mean to follow the heart?"
"..." Mrs. Zheng wanted to laugh when she heard this.
But Sheng Xiangxun teased her daughter seriously: "You claim to be good at riddles, guess what word this can be combined into?"
"Ah!" After reacting, Sheng An immediately covered her mouth and covered up the words she wanted to say.
"Hahahaha." Sheng Xiangxun burst out laughing at Sister An's funny reaction.
"How can you tell your children this?" Mrs. Zheng punched her husband in confusion.
The two of them were talking and laughing happily, but Sheng Yuan in their arms and Sheng Ran who were standing didn't find it funny. The two sisters looked at each other speechlessly, and saw "sympathy" in each other's eyes.
Fortunately, although the adults are childish, their pace is very fast. No, Sheng Yuan has already seen the cloister of the grand garden of Sheng Guogong Mansion from a distance.
