On the moon, the night wind blew against the thick black clouds, covering most of the moonlight. "Bang, bang, bang." The fireworks burst through the night sky one after another. The candlelight seemed to feel the embellishment of the fireworks, so it jumped even harder. Xiao Jing stood at the window, looking at the colorful fireworks, and smiled, "Captain, I almost forgot about the liveliness. In these years in the army camp, I felt that I was used to being lonely, used to being lonely, and used to lying alone in an empty room." Shen Chengfeng, who was standing beside her, was also looking at the traces of fireworks in the night sky. He put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Now, I will enjoy the prosperity of this world with you." Xiao Jing glanced to the side. Her curved eyes seemed to contain a sweet happiness. She solemnly nodded. "En, I'll go with you." "Bang, bang, bang." The fireworks once again exploded in the air, lighting up the night sky one by one. Xiao Jing laid her head on his shoulder. The faint light of the fireworks fell on her face and eyes. She pursed her lips and smiled. "Captain, I love you." Shen Chengfeng held her head in his hands and kissed her lips. He was no longer as strong and savage as before, nor did he touch the water like a dragonfly. His kiss had a purpose! Xiao Jing closed her eyes, in front of her was a dazzling firework, behind her was a tender red candle, everything was so beautiful. Shen Chengfeng closed the window, drew the curtains and took off her clothes... The night was quiet. The bed was silent. It was quiet. The bustle of the Shen family had returned to silence at midnight. Only the servants remained in the hall, cleaning up the room in an orderly manner. From time to time, a pair of hurried footsteps could be heard running across the courtyard, but it did not disturb the peace that was finally restored. In the side hall, a faint aroma of tea lingered in the surroundings. Shen Chenghuang took a sip of tea and took note of his silent parents. He coughed softly, "Father, do you have something else to discuss with us?" "Where are the three of them?" Shen Tiantian looked at the butler hovering by the door and asked with a heavy tone, "Where is the third young master?" "We're sending someone to look for him. Perhaps the third young master left first." The butler reported the situation. "It's impossible for him to leave at this time and send people to search for me. Even if he has to hide in a corner, he has to find me." "Father, it's better if you don't send people to find him. If Third Brother hides now, he might be doing something important in his life. If you send someone to disturb him, it might leave behind a shadow in his heart." Shen Chengyi had a clearly discernible smile on his face as if he was gloating. "Shut up!" Shen Tian stood up with a grave expression. "Go to the third floor and look around. Try to knock on the door when you find something." "Yes." The steward led the group of men up to the third floor. "Since you insist on meeting your third brother, do you still want to lecture him?" Shen Chengyi asked again. "At this point, what else can I say?" Shen Tian pinched the bridge of his nose, "I'm just asking for your opinions. Will this work or not?" Yan Jun felt his heart skip a beat as he hurriedly asked, "Old master, you mean to say that you are prepared to comply with their wishes?" "Does Madam have a better idea?" Shen Yitian asked back. Yan Jun became silent. What could she do? What could she do? What could she dare to do? Disassemble them? He was afraid that things would get out of hand, not to mention that this was his own son's first love. If he tried to stop this child, he would really end up dying of loneliness. Regardless of whether the other party was a man or a woman, she was still a companion. Shen Tianyi thought about it, then said seriously, "We have no choice but to get involved in this matter, even if we do get involved." "Father, are you planning to let them do as they please?" Shen Chenghuang poured himself a glass of water and took a sip, "Actually, it is not convenient for us to say such things. Third brother has been so hard at hiding Xiao Jing, yet he did not forget to lie to all of us that he has fallen in love with a girl." I'm too old to care about this kind of love affair, and I don't want to interfere in anything. He's not the only child of the Shen family, and doesn't need to pass on the family's teachings. Whatever, he just likes it, but we have to keep a low profile on this matter. "Yes, father." "Speaking of which, where did this stinky brat run off to?" Shen Tianyi stood up, "All of you can leave now. I'll go out and search." "Father, I'll go with you." Shen Chenghuang followed closely behind. A cold wind blew across the courtyard as the two of them stood tall. "Father, do you think there's light there?" Shen Chenghuang pointed to a storage room about fifty meters away. As he pointed in the direction he was pointing, the light of a candle was indeed flickering. Shen Chenghuang subconsciously wanted to walk over, but was held back by a hand after a single step. Shen Tianyi waved his hand, "Don't go over first." Shen Chenghuang frowned, "Aren't you going over to take a look?" "Do you think they are simply chatting in a secret place in the middle of the night?" Shen Chenghuang was suddenly enlightened and he tactfully took two steps back, "Third brother, it's good if you don't say anything. It's amazing." Shen Tian glared at him. "Are you ashamed of saying that?" Shen Chenghuang looked away guiltily, "It's rather cold at night." "I am too lazy to ask about your third brother's matter now. Your second brother probably doesn't have any luck with romance in recent years. The responsibility of the Shen family is now on you." "Father, I wanted to hit a home run, but I had to respect Maple Forest. I said I wouldn't force her unless she agreed to marry me." Shen Tian couldn't help but raise his fist and smash it onto his shoulder, looking as if he had failed to endure the pain. "Say, you've been talking for five years, running after a little girl for five years. Those who don't know this would think that you're plotting something against her. Son, it's been five years. Have you asked for a marriage?" Shen Chenghuang shook his head, "I said before that she would take the initiative to promise —" "Agree, voluntarily agree. You want a girl to take the initiative to marry me, do you think you're gold? Picking it up, you're so happy that you can't let go?" "Aren't I respecting her?" "Go, you just wait for her. If she really does pick up the gold someday, you can wait to be her groomsman." Shocked out of his dream by these words, Shen Chenghuang said, "Father, you want me to propose now?" "Your third brother even knows how to bring people back during the new year. How could you not know how to make good use of this opportunity?" "I'm afraid she will refuse. After all, she doesn't like the liveliness." Shen Tian narrowed his eyes, "Look at you, I'm afraid you won't be able to marry Miss Feng Lin back in ten years." "Father, I will try." Shen Chenghuang promised solemnly. Shen Tianyi faced the wind blowing through the courtyard. "I want to blow again. You can go in." "Yes, father." Shen Yi stood alone in the courtyard. He turned around and glanced at the closed door, humming to himself as he walked towards the sundries room. He seemed to smell a very strong scent of candles. He raised his head and looked at the flame dancing in the open window. He shook his head. If his eldest son had such thoughts, he would have cooked and cooked already. It was a pity. A meteor flew across the sky, leaving a deep and shallow mark, then it disappeared without leaving a trace. The sun rose to the east, and the sky gradually became clear. Old Lady Shen put down the newspaper at the main table of the main dining hall of the Shen family. She took a look at the dishes already prepared on the table. Teng Qingshan stood aside and asked, "Mother, is there something wrong?" "Speaking of which, it's quite strange. You didn't cook today?" Old Madam Shen was still a little uncomfortable as she looked at the prim and proper breakfast in her hands without a care in the world. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … Yan Jun asked: "Aren't you back?" "I won't be so pretentious anymore. It would be my fault if you don't feel well after eating." "Fortunately, my son is still healthy. Otherwise, I'm afraid he would have gone to play chess with his father." Old Lady Shen took a sip of her milk. "Where are my three maverick grandchildren?" "One is on the phone, one is probably still asleep, the other is nowhere to be seen." Shen Yi flipped through the newspapers and replied. "Where did you run off to?" Old Madam Shen read this sentence with interest, "Last night, I spent all night observing the sky and the sky. I believe that our Shen family is getting closer to the good news." Shen Tian put down the newspaper and said, "Mother, are you still learning these gossips?" "How about I teach you a lesson or two?" "Don't, I'm a general of a country after all. If my subordinates find out that I know such feudal superstitions, they won't be able to keep my reputation as a leader to themselves. You better not wear those things all day long." "You don't believe me?" Old Madam Shen reached into her pocket and took out three copper coins. After murmuring a few sentences, she tossed the coins high into the air. "Clang! Clang! Clang!" The coin fell on the table, two overlapped, one dispersed. Shen Tianyi sighed, "What do you want to say to the madame now?" "Did you see that? A copper coin is made up of countless branches and leaves, which means that our Shen family is about to open up. On one side are two birds of a feather, and on the other side are two birds of a feather." Old Lady Shen spoke with certainty. Shen Tianyi took a bite of bread, "Mother, are you saying that our Shen family not only has a joyous occasion, but we also have a joyous occasion?" "That's true." Old Lady Shen said confidently. Shen swallowed the whole piece of bread in two or three gulps and stood up. "Mother, I don't want to splash cold water on you, but do you think your eldest grandson is that kind of strong person who can shoot two birds with one stone?" "I'm not talking about him." Old Lady Shen denied it. Shen Tianyi laughed, "Then you better not count on that kid Shen Chengyi." However, Yan Jun, who was standing at the side, was extremely focused. She could not help but ask, "Mother, are you telling the truth?" Old Lady Shen beckoned with her finger. "Come here." Hearing his words, Yan Jun stepped forward. Old Madam Shen whispered in her ear, "Don't ask me if it's true or not. I almost believe you." "…" "Alright, let's eat." Old Lady Shen was in a good mood, directly smashing the sweet egg. Just as Yan Jun picked up the trident, she heard the sound of movement coming from the entrance. As expected, the culprit who had disappeared after causing a huge ruckus last night had appeared. Shen Chengfeng led Xiao Jing into the restaurant. He looked at the old man and said, "Grandma, mother." "Where did you go last night?" Yan Jun asked straightforwardly. Old Lady Shen pulled her hand. "Don't ask about this." Yan Jun did not dare to disobey the madame and could only give up on this question. Shen Chengfeng pulled out a chair and gestured for Xiao Jing to sit down. Xiao Jing shook her head and whispered, "I'll do it myself." Shen Chengfeng stubbornly pulled her onto a chair and said, "Didn't you say you were hungry? Eat, eat. After we finish, we will head back to the Xiao Clan and return to the military camp to attend the party." "It's fine if Comrade Xiao Jing goes back to the Xiao family, but why are you joining in the fun?" Just as Yan Jun spoke, another hand was placed on her arm. Old Madam Shen then asked, "Could it be that you want to go as well?" Yan Jun knew that the madame was warning her not to speak any further. She shut her mouth obediently. Old Madam Shen took a sip of her milk and said carelessly, "Of course I have to pay a visit to the Xiao family's elders for the new year. I heard that your wife went to Jiangcheng a few days ago?" "Yes, Grandma." Xiao Jing blurted out. With that, the entire room went silent. Yan Jun was shocked. What did he call the madame just now? Grandma? "However, she should be back by the start of the new year. Today, I will accompany you." Old Lady Shen spoke of it as if it were a breeze. "Madam, it's against the rules for you to follow me." "What rules?" "In the future, our two families will often come and go. It's also good to be able to move around in this atmosphere during the new year. You don't have to go. It's fine if you go when the date is set later." "…" "Housekeeper, you should go to the storehouse to take inventory. After all, this is the first time that our Shen Family has come knocking on our door. At any rate, you should at least take some items that are on the table." Old Lady Shen ordered. "Mother, are you really going?" Seeing that the old man really did not seem like he was joking, Yan Jun stood up excitedly. "How about I go with you?" "Don't worry, there will be a time when you come knocking later." Xiao Jing took a sip of milk. If she continued to eat this meal, she would probably suffer from indigestion. However, Shen Chengfeng did not mind as he spread some jam on her bread and handed it to her, "Aren't you hungry?" "Eat. My mother didn't cook this breakfast." Xiao Jing took a bite and repeatedly asked, "Are you really going to the Xiao family?" "Didn't they say it already?" Shen Chengfeng wiped the crumbs on the corner of her mouth, "New Year's books are supposed to visit your parents. It's a courtesy." "I'm worried that you will have to fight with Big Brother and the others again." "I know the severity." "You know the severity of their beatings." Xiao Jing covered her mouth and laughed. Yan Jun stared at the two people who were still whispering to each other in public. His own son, who had been paralyzed for thirty years, was actually still smiling. He was laughing so hard that his eyes were almost popping out of his sockets. Old Madam Shen put down her knife and fork and glanced at the two love-struck people. "The elders are still here." Xiao Jing awkwardly sat up and cautiously glanced at the emotionless General Yan Jun. She did not make any more movements and obediently ate her breakfast. The morning sun was somewhat warm. Droplets of light glimmered on the grass. Two cars, one behind the other, headed for the mansion. Yan Jun stood in the yard and watched the two carriages disappear into the distance. She could not help but sigh. "Even if I don't want to, I can't do anything about it. Master, do you think we should take the chance to visit the Xiao family during the new year?" "Why should we call?" "It should be Xiao Yao personally coming to our Shen family." Shen Tianyi said righteously. After thinking for a moment, Yan Jun asked, "Master, do you want Xiao Jing to do this?" Shen Tian covered his mouth and coughed softly, "This is not the question above. Who is more noble? I, Shen Tian, am a reputable person in the capital. Why should I pay a visit to Xiao Yao, this fellow?" "It should be him who f * cking comes to our Shen family." "What the old master said doesn't make sense, so why don't we go?" Shen One was silent. If he didn't go, it would seem that they didn't understand the rules. After all, the matter regarding the child was already a matter of reality. They couldn't justify themselves, but if he went, wouldn't that mean that he couldn't match up to Xiao Yao's position? He felt that he was contradictory. It was supposed to be the first year, and it just so happened to be New Year's. "Old master, how do you think we should deal with this matter?" "I will do as Madam says." Shen Tian softened his tone. "Then I'll let them see a good day. This will be the first time we two will officially meet." "Whatever Madam says, I will … I will try my best not to fight with that fellow Xiao Yao." Overstatement -- [Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents]
