Mother Chen, who knows her son, Mo Ruomu, sighed softly as she watched her son hustling about absentmindedly.
On that day, the weather was fine. Shen Que and Zelan went to the market together. Chen Da helped them prepare money and baskets, and told Zelan not to buy too much. If he couldn't carry it, just leave it in the store and he would pick it up, so as not to tire his wife. , he originally wanted to go with them, but he felt that it was not good for a grown man to follow two young ladies shopping, so he reluctantly gave up.
When the two of them went out, Mrs. Chen called her son to him and asked him:
"Are you interested?"
Chen Da's face suddenly turned red and he was speechless.
Aunt Chen said: "Ms. Shen is a one-in-a-million good woman, and my mother likes her very much."
Chen Da's eyes shone brightly, but Chen Da Niang said: "But she is in the same heaven and earth as you, and we can't reach her."
Chen Da was unconvinced: "Mom, please don't destroy your prestige. Come to think of it, our family has been eating royal food since my father. Although it is not an official family, it is definitely not an ordinary citizen. How can it not be worthy of it? Besides, she has... "
Dead man? The words were on the tip of his tongue without being uttered.
Aunt Chen shook her head and said you don't understand, "Let's not talk about the identity of Mrs. Shen. Let's talk about the man in front of her. He is the leader of the Shuofang Army. I heard that he is young and brave. Just for this, we are as good as others.
What's more, although she hasn't mentioned a word about her identity these days, my son, can't you tell that she comes from a wealthy family? Look at her thin skin and tender flesh, she is smart, capable and well-educated. He was raised from a young age. She has a pure and kind nature and is good to us, but we can't have any thoughts that we shouldn't have just because she doesn't care about her status. "
Chen Da was silent, lowering his head in a dull voice.
"Son, just look at that girl Zelan. Even the little girls around her are so smart and smart. They must not be an ordinary family." Aunt Chen said earnestly, "Mom, I advise you to put away the thoughts you shouldn't have. Live a good life, treat her as a noble person in our family, and for the sake of her curing your mother's illness and helping you take care of your injuries, treat her as a Bodhisattva empress."
Chen Da said it too late, "Mom, my son has never had such thoughts when he was so old, but once such thoughts are born, it will be difficult to control. I will remember your words and I promise not to do anything." If something bad happens, you won't have any unreasonable thoughts. It's just mother, I can't control this thought, and you can't control it either. Just let it fly by itself. When it hits the head and bleeds, it will naturally fly back. .”
As the saying goes, those who can't be persuaded are destined to die.
Once some feelings are created, they can never be returned. Even if they are painful and sad, they are destined to have this experience. After experiencing Nirvana, they will be reborn again.
At this point, she was able to explain everything clearly. Aunt Chen stopped talking and just watched her son fall in love and felt sorry for him.
But Shen Que's heart became lower and lower day by day.
Because I miss Li Luansong and worry about whether he is dead or alive, I have nightmares every day. As the child grows older, it becomes more and more inconvenient to move. He needs Zelan's support to sit up and lie down every day. I originally wanted to go home and have another baby, but now I see I am going to be born in Fengyi.
Zelan was worried. There was a lack of clothes and clothing here. What would happen if the baby was born?
Aunt Chen said there was no rush, "Auntie has no skills in this life. She helped deliver babies when she was young, so she has some experience. As for the baby's small clothes and quilt, we can make them together in time."
For more than half a month, Shen Que's mood was very low. Sometimes he would shed tears while sitting alone by the window in a daze.
Zelan and Chen Da tried to find ways to buy various gadgets to make her happy, but she always couldn't laugh and looked depressed and worried.
My body is heavy, and the child in my belly is not acting well at night. He keeps going to the toilet without saying a word, and he is always tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He is completely listless.
Aunt Chen was very anxious when she saw this. On this day, she dug out a piece of ginseng as thick as a little finger and made a pot of chicken soup to replenish her body.
Shen Que said he couldn't drink it and had no appetite.
The aunt put down the bowl, sat next to her and sighed: "You are such a thoughtful kid, and aunt is very anxious when she sees it. You must be thinking about your man again. Look, you have lost weight. If you look back, you will be sick." But how good."
Shen Que said it was okay, "But I couldn't bear it, so I couldn't help but think about it."
"My child, my aunt has been through this. No matter how nice that person is, he is not with you now. And you still have children. You have to cheer up."
Aunt Chen held her hand and said, "Auntie, you have raised your child by yourself all your life. Only you know the hard work here. But think about it, this is his baby too. If he knew that you tortured yourself like this, what would he do? I feel sorry for you and my baby."
"When Mr. Chen's father left for the war, he left me a message, telling me not to look for him and to raise the child well." Aunt Chen said while holding back her tears, "These words have supported me throughout my life, my child. Auntie can see that you are not ordinary people, and those who can be generals must be extraordinary. Think about it, what else does he wish for? Although he didn’t leave a message for you, you are the one he knows close to, and he hasn’t finished it yet. You should finish it for him, and it will give yourself the courage to live."
Just like Liu Zi, he doesn't know that he has a child in this world, so he must hope that Liu Zi will grow up healthily. There was also Feng Yi. Shen Que instantly had a feeling of enlightenment. If he died in this place, he would definitely hope that Feng Yi would settle down soon and the people could live and work in peace and contentment and live a good life.
Aunt Chen is a country woman with little knowledge. All she can think of is to live well and raise her children.
But Shen Que figured out at that moment that she should live. No matter whether Li Luansong lived or died, she had to live well and even finish the things for him that he didn't have time to do.
In the past, Shen Que always felt that his world was big and hers was small. Now she felt that she was wrong. Their worlds were the same. Li Luansong hoped that the people would live and work in peace and contentment, and that Daye would be peaceful and peaceful, so Shen Que could Do your best to help the people here live a good life and let him know that they are in the same world and doing the same thing.
Just like the weather at the beginning of spring, it gets better and better day by day, the sun is shining brightly and the mood of spring is full of joy.
Shen Que's spirit gradually recovered, just like Fengyi who was recovering.
The reconstruction of the government is in full swing, and every household is living a stable life. Nearly half of the bandits have been wiped out, and the remaining people have gone into the mountains and do not dare to cause trouble. Everyone feels relieved.
Chen Da got bricks and built a small house. Shen Que helped the villagers to see doctors every day. The medical fee was very small, which was also an income for the Chen family.
All the money was given to Aunt Chen, who refused to accept it at all. Shen Que said, "I think Auntie saved it for me. I will still need to spend money when I give birth to the baby."
She was very enthusiastic, soft-spoken and gentle. At first, only the female family members came to see her doctor. As time passed, they all realized that she was highly skilled in medical treatment. She did not discriminate between men, women, and children. There was actually a long queue at the entrance of the Chen family's hospital.
Shen Que thought that he would eventually leave Fengyi, so he taught Mrs. Chen how to identify herbal medicines while seeing a doctor. She was old but had good eyesight and flexible legs and feet. Even if she couldn't learn to see a doctor, she could still make a living by selling herbal medicines.
Aunt Chen studied very seriously and made rapid progress, which encouraged Shen Que very much.
The streets of Fengyi are filled with fireworks one after another. Restaurants and teahouses have not yet opened, but small vendors and shops have been pushed onto the streets. The smoke of fireworks makes the entire county come alive.
Shen Que pulled Chen Da to sit down and planned to teach him how to do business. Chen Dalian waved his hands and said that he was a rough man and could not learn.
Shen did not give up, and would sit with him under the candlelight every night, teaching him to read the ledger, teach him how to make accounts, teach him how to negotiate prices with people, and teach him how to identify goods, no matter what type they were, Chen Da discovered Shen Que can always distinguish the good from the bad at a glance.
Auntie is right, Mrs. Shen is indeed not an ordinary person.
Gradually, Chen Da became interested. According to what Shen Que taught him, he bought some grain from the neighboring village at a low price, and then sold it at a higher price in the market. Although the price increased, it was still lower than the price charged by other companies. , coupled with the fact that the grain he chose was of the highest quality, he quickly made money.
Next, Shen Que said: "Qing'an is rich in tea. You go there for two days and buy some. You want three kinds, the best, the medium and the ordinary. But you must not choose the worst because of the low price."
Chen Dade followed suit and made a lot of money this time, enough to build a tile-roofed house.
Chen Da was very happy and studied more seriously. He also took a notebook and wrote down everything Shen Que said.
Spring has begun, and Shen Que's belly is getting bigger and bigger. Mrs. Chen counts the days and gives birth in a few months. Zelan is very nervous and dare not leave her every day. She has found several Wen women to deliver the baby. I'm afraid there won't be enough people if things get busy.
On this day, a large and luxurious ship docked at the shore, and a large group of people came straight to the Chen family's courtyard.
The people of Fengyi had never seen such a battle before, so they all put down their work to watch.
These people were wearing clothes from the Soto Kingdom, and some were wearing clothes from Daye, but all of them had clear features and elegant features, and they were carrying a lot of things in. For those who didn’t know, they thought they were from Shili Hongzhuang.
When Mutam and Liang Fan appeared in front of them, Shen Que was stunned, and the Chen family mother and son were even more at a loss.
They only knew that Shen was indeed a noble man, but they didn't know that he was so noble.
The two of them cried for a long time when they saw Shen Que. They felt that they could not help her because she was suffering so much. They also blamed her for not communicating with them when she was out and that she was about to give birth without saying a word.
"We agreed that I am Liu Zi's adoptive father, why are you so stubborn?" Mutam was a little annoyed.
"I am senior brother, and this is my junior sister. Master should not treat us as outsiders and say nothing." Liang Fan also complained.
Shen Que was speechless, explained and apologized, and finally managed to coax the two of them into peace.
The two talked to each other and tried to persuade Shen Que to go back with them. Mother Chen and her son were watching, but Chen Da did not want her to leave. Other neighbors were lying on the wall watching, and two noble men came to pick up Mrs. Shen.
Shen Que finally persuaded the two of them to leave, but left a lot of items behind, which made her dumbfounded.
Chen Da looked at the boxes of goodies and said, "At first I thought you didn't want this baby. I also thought about telling my mother if you didn't want us to have this baby. Who would have thought that it was us who wanted this baby?" Oh, this baby is really lucky. She has lost her biological father but has such a powerful and caring godfather."
Shen Que said with a smile: "We Liu Zi are lucky to have everyone taking care of us. If you don't mind Brother Chen, you can also become Liu Zi's godfather. She will also respect you in the future."
Chen Da's face turned red with embarrassment and he stammered, "Mom, am I worthy?"
