MTL - Time Traveling: the Only Beloved Husband-Chapter 59
When Shen Chaomu was fifteen years old, he had already taken over most of the family's business under the persecution of Lord Shen Hou. Over the past ten years, the properties in the hands of the Kangning Hou Mansion are not limited to the original Xiangzilai and Zhuyuexuan, but also involve many other places. Divide the profit, add up all kinds of zeros and zeros, and the industry accumulated by the Kangning Mansion in a short period of more than ten years is not insignificant.
In contrast, as the head of the Kangninghou Mansion, the daily accounts that have to be dealt with are also increasing day by day. Shen Houye had long been impatient with handling these affairs, and when Shen Chaomu finally grew up, he was so impatient that he gave up his job and just took care of taking his wife to visit the mountains and rivers all day long.
Not long ago, the two of them came back from staying at Prince Rong's residence in the capital, and Shen Chaomu sat in the study and was immersed in dealing with affairs while thinking about his little Shuang'er. After the new year, Xiao Shuang'er will be sixteen, and the two of them have indeed grown up as childhood sweethearts. Although in recent years, because the two have grown older, they have not seen each other as much as when they were young, but he has already identified Xiao Shuang'er. is his man.
Shen Chaomu picked up the pen and didn't write a word for a long time. Thinking of Xiao Shuang'er's attitude recently, he felt that there was something wrong no matter what he thought. His family Shuang'er is indeed not easy to approach in front of outsiders, but she has always been delicate and tender in front of him. Every time he asks Lu Yunqi to send gifts, Lu Yunshuang will return him some small sachets and small fans. Category.
Why last time he managed to find a good red silk inkstone and sent it over, not only did Shuang'er not return the gift, but also returned the inkstone. Could it be that he doesn't like this gift? It's not right. He clearly mentioned that he wanted the red silk inkstone before. The more Shen Chaomu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Thinking that Lu Yunshuang's change seemed to have changed since his parents went to Lu's house as a guest, Shen Chaomu He became a little restless, he had to ask Lu Yunqi to ask him about it.
Lu Yunqi is Lu Yunshuang's younger brother, three years younger than Yunshuang. When Yunqi was born, Uncle Gu was really happy. After Shen Chaomu and Lu Yunshuang grew up, Lu Yunqi became a little matchmaker for the two to pass letters and objects, but this matchmaker only needs to be paid for doing things.
In the private room on the second floor of Mingyue Building, 12-year-old Lu Yunqi came in wearing a bamboo-green brocade robe with scattered flowers, sweating profusely, and pushed the door, "Brother Shen, are you looking for me?" He must have benefits, how could he have a bad attitude.
Seeing his sweating profusely, Shen Chaomu frowned, motioned the people around him to pour Lu Yunqi a cup of herbal tea, watched him drink it, and then asked, "Where are all the servants who followed you? You, master, go out for a stroll by yourself." Yun Qi was only twelve years old, and it was the time when he was innocent and easy to deceive, so it would be shameful for him to come out without anyone following him.
Lu Yunqi drank a cup of herbal tea and then heaved a sigh of relief, stuck out his tongue and said, "The group of useless things are too slow, I just ran over on horseback." Seeing that Big Brother Shen was about to lose his temper, Lu Yunqi quickly flattered him, " Brother Shen, don’t talk about me, I will definitely pay attention next time, Brother Shen, let’s talk about what’s going on between you and my brother, you must be looking for me for this, right?”
Hearing Lu Yunqi mention his brother Lu Yunshuang, Shen Chaomu swallowed the words he wanted to reprimand. Uncle Lu has such a gentle temper, so I don't know who this kid followed, and his temper is so impatient. Since this kid brought it up first, he has nothing to hide, "Did something happen to your brother? You also know that your brother confiscated the things I asked you to deliver last time. I always feel that this is a bit strange."
Lu Yunqi stared at Shen Chaomu for a long time, seeing that Shen Chaomu was still caring about his brother as always, he sighed, and said that this was impossible, Brother Shen obviously cared so much about his brother.
Seeing that Lu Yunqi was just staring at him, Shen Chaomu sighed and took a fan and hit him on the head, "I said you boy, if you have something to say, hurry up."
Lu Yunqi was not annoyed, he rubbed his head and said, "The last time Uncle Shen came to my house, he said that the little princess of Prince Rong's mansion was arguing to marry you, it seems that Uncle Shen meant to accept this marriage, yes, It’s not that my brother was very sad after hearing this, and I told him Brother Shen that you are not that kind of person, but my brother still refused to believe it.”
The tea in Shen Chaomu's mouth almost didn't come out, and he knew it was his father cheating him again, "The little princess in Prince Rong's mansion is arguing to marry me, but that girl is only six years old this year, and she is arguing to marry me." You were only four years old when you married me. No, you can find time to ask your brother out, and I have to explain to him face to face." Well, his little Shuang'er was so bold that he believed the words of his father who was only cheating on his son, but he didn't. He has a heart for him. How dare he get into an awkward fight with him over this matter, seeing that he turned around and met someone, so as not to let his good Shuang'er have a long memory.
Lu Yunqi saw that Big Brother Shen was smiling so wickedly across the table, so he silently lit a candle for his brother. Let's just say, elder brother Shen sees what his elder brother sees and what is right, he has already locked his brother into his own territory, and everyone knows how to protect the calf, but his elder brother is in the middle of the game without knowing it.
Lu Yunqi has always been a real person, not to mention his brother marrying Shen Chaomu would be the best. The Shen family has a good family background, and the point is that Brother Shen is a good person, "Brother Shen, this busy little brother will definitely help you, but, that's it... "After speaking, he giggled.
The corner of Shen Chaomu's mouth twitched, he picked up the fan and tapped him again, "That's right, what are you looking for again, fifty taels is enough." Saying that, he asked the people around him to give him fifty taels of silver.
Lu Yunqi has a hobby. He likes to raise birds. From time to time, he will fall in love with one or two, but the better the species, the higher the price. His monthly money is only ten taels of silver, so it is impossible to buy birds. Over the years, all the money he got from Shen Chaomu has been used to buy those birds.
"Brother Shen, you know me well. Not long ago, I saw a blue robin again. Its voice is really amazing. I have asked someone to keep it for me. Let me ask my brother to come out, and I will know Mingxiang Pavilion when I was a child, I will definitely complete the task." After saying that, he ran away with fifty taels of silver.
Shen Chaomu looked at his anxious look, and motioned to the people around him, "Send someone to follow Master Qi, don't make any mistakes." The people around him are all people who were trained by Lord Shen many years ago, and they are all very skilled. After so many years, their Kangning Hou Mansion also has its own team. Apart from some kung fu, these people are proficient in one or two other things. Except for those who follow the three masters in the mansion, the others are sent to various branches. With these people around, it was very convenient to do things, and Shen Chaomu had to sigh for his father's foresight.
—————
In the Mingxiang Pavilion on the second day, Shen Chaomu came over early and waited. Speaking of which, the last time the two of them met was three months ago, and I don't know what happened to his family Shuang'er.
Thinking of the situation when he went to complain to his father last night, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. What did his father say, it was a disguised form of helping him. He also told him not to forget to thank him after marrying his wife. How can there be such a father, his father is the same, his father said what, and before he could say a few words, he became intimate in front of his son, treating him as dead.
When Weishi was about to arrive, he heard the sound of a carriage downstairs, Shen Chaomu raised the window, and saw the signboard of Lu's family hanging on the carriage downstairs, the first one to jump off was undoubtedly Lu Yunqi. Then a slender hand of jade white lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Shen Chaomu's heart beat two beats faster with the appearance of that hand.
The next thing that stretched out was a crescent white embroidered shoe with lotus leaf patterns embroidered with green silk thread, followed by brocade shirts of the same style, until the face that was three points more delicate than in memory was revealed, and Shen Chaomu didn't turn back Come on.
I haven't seen him for three months, and his Shuang'er seems to have grown taller and more handsome. Looking at Shuang'er's icy face, Shen Chaomu felt as if a cat's paw had scratched his heart, how lively that face was in private, how attractive it is now.
Lu Yunqi sent Lu Yunshuang to the door of the private room and said with a smile, "Brother, you go ahead and wait for me. I forgot something, so I'll be right back."
Lu Yunshuang frowned slightly, and became more determined in his heart. He said why his younger brother had to drag him out today. Thinking that every time Shen Chaomu wanted to see him, it was this little brother who set the thread, so he couldn't help feeling sour. That person was destined not to be his, so what if he met him.
"Hey! Brother, don't go, I was wrong, can't I be wrong? Brother Shen is still waiting for you inside, you can talk about it after you meet." Lu Yunqi saw his brother standing at the door of the private room and didn't go in. He turned around and wanted to leave, knowing that this was not a good thing, he hurriedly grabbed Lu Yunshuang by the hem of his clothes to beg for mercy.
How could Lu Yunshuang compromise and go in, the two were tugging at the door, when they heard a "squeak", the private room door was pushed open from the inside. Lu Yunshuang was attracted by the sound, and when she looked over, she saw Shen Chaomu standing at the door with a dark face. For some reason, she just felt better not seeing her. Lu Yunshuang, who thought her decision was right, suddenly felt a little guilty.
Shen Chaomu glanced at the dumbfounded Lu Yunshuang, and gave orders in an unquestionable tone, "Shuang'er, come in."
Seeing that Big Brother Shen seemed to be angry, Lu Yunqi let go of his hand that was still holding onto Lu Yunshuang's clothes in a disrespectful manner, and laughed twice, "Brother, Big Brother Shen called you, um, that little brother will go first , I'll come back to pick you up in an hour, that's the deal." Then Lu Yunshuang slipped away without waiting for Lu Yunshuang's reaction.
Seeing her little brother running so fast, Lu Yunshuang felt that the villain in her heart was going to grab him and shoot him to death. She looked up at Shen Chaomu and looked at him with a cold face. She sighed in her heart, and followed her in resignedly. private room.
Shen Chaomu saw that Lu Yunshuang was very reserved when he came in, and he didn't talk to him. He returned to the main seat and only concentrated on fiddling with the tea set in front of the table to make tea, but the corners of his mouth turned up when Lu Yunshuang didn't see it. three points. If we talk about heredity, Shen Chaomu is indeed Shen Xiangyan's son, he has a bit of bad taste in his bones, but Shen Xiangyan's bad taste is used on his son, but Shen Chaomu wants to play tricks on his little Shuang'er from time to time.
Lu Yunshuang was so wronged that she was going to die. It was obvious that this heartless man was going to marry someone else, and he was so cruel to him. She didn't know what to do with him today. If you want to marry the princess, don't come to him. It made Lu Yunshuang sit still No, it's not right to leave, I can only stand there stupidly.
After making a pot of tea, Shen Chaomu poured a cup for Lu Yunshuang, then raised his head and said, "Shuang'er, what are you doing standing up, come and sit."
Lu Yunshuang pursed her lips, but still couldn't resist someone's **** and sat down obediently. Shen Chaomu looked at him with a smile in his heart, but still said lightly on his face, "Why didn't you come in just now? Why haven't you seen me for three months, and you don't miss me at all." Shen Chaomu still felt a little regretful, if it wasn't for his cheating father, little Shuang'er hadn't seen him for three months, so she must be happily hugging his neck at this moment, playing coquettishly, asking him why she didn't go to him for three months.
Lu Yunshuang held the cup tighter and tighter, complaining in her heart that it wasn't you, it was all because of you. Seeing that Shen Chaomu still had a calm expression on his face, Lu Yunshuang finally couldn't help but burst out, "You're going to marry someone else, why are you here looking for me?"
Shen Chaomu's heart skipped a beat, knowing that it was broken, he was so excited about it, he hurried forward and hugged the heartbroken big baby. Lifting the chin of the man in his arms, he saw a pair of red rabbit eyes without any suspense, and sighed softly, "Why can't you trust me." After speaking, regardless of Lu Yunshuang's eyes widening suddenly, she leaned over and kissed her. The soft lips that I have thought about for a long time.
"Hmm..." Lu Yunshuang's mind went blank for a moment, and when she realized it, she was already hugged by Shen Chaomu on her lap. Lu Yunshuang's entire face was blushing, and she tried to struggle, but found that she was hugged so tightly that she couldn't move. . Lu Yunshuang was in a hurry, this man didn't want to marry him, he wanted to hug him and take advantage of him, so Lu Yunshuang bit Shen Chaomu's shoulder cruelly and bit down.
It was summer at this time, and it was hot, so people were wearing light clothes, and Lu Yunshuang didn't have any strength to eat it. Shen Chaomu groaned in pain, but seeing Lu Yunshuang's face about to cry or not, he still felt distressed, and finally said helplessly, "My little ancestor, let's calm down this time."
Seeing that Shen Chaomu had really been bitten, Lu Yunshuang felt a little distressed, but then she thought that this person would have nothing to do with her in the future, and felt sorry for what he did.
Shen Chaomu looked at Lu Yunshuang's swollen face with a funny face, and kissed that face again, because he grew up together, Shen Chaomu did this kind of stealing very easily, "Why, I'm afraid I married that little princess, Don't want you?"
"If you still dare to say it, you know how to bully people." Lu Yunshuang greeted Shen Chaomu's chest with her small fists that were not for nothing when she saw that Shen Chaomu still dared to mention it.
"Oh, it's not jealous." Shen Chaomu knew he couldn't be funny and explained, "The little princess is only as high as my knees. It turns out that Shuang'er loves me so much, you want to eat a child's jealousy."
Lu Yunshuang stared at Shen Chaomu with wide eyes, as if to confirm whether what he said was true. Recalling Lord Shen's expression when he said this, and the way Mrs. Hou covered her mouth and smiled, Lu Yunshuang felt that she was going to lose face this time, how could he be fooled so easily.
"Oh, I'm so sad. My Shuang'er doesn't even believe me. You don't know my father. You can believe whatever he says. Oh, I finally asked Brother Qi for help, but you still don't want to see me." I learned from his father, when his father was angry, his father would pretend to be good, and he often used this trick, and every time he could make Xiao Shuang'er fall into the bait.
Sure enough, Lu Yunshuang was ashamed by Shen Chaomu's words, remembering that she had bitten and hit her just now, and Zhao Chao didn't get angry with him for being so unreasonable, she stroked the place where he had just bitten with her small hand, and whispered, "Does Chaochao still hurt? I'm sorry Well, me, I was wrong, you can punish me however you want, don't be angry with me."
Shen Chaomu saw that Xiao Shuang'er had admitted his mistake, but he still deserved to be punished, so he slapped the little **** of the person in his arms with seven points of force, and said viciously, "Do you dare to listen to other people's words in the future?"
Lu Yunshuang clutched her sore buttocks, and said aggrievedly, "Don't dare to do it anymore." After finishing speaking, she turned her head arrogantly, not wanting to talk to this bad guy who knew he was taking advantage of him.
Shen Chaomu hugged the small body in his arms even tighter and said, "Shuang'er, you are growing up too, I will ask daddy to come to your house to propose marriage when I go back today, okay?"
After experiencing the previous oolong, Lu Yunshuang really worried about gains and losses for a long time, and it was not until after listening to Shen Chaomu's explanation that he felt better. Now that Shen Chaomu said that he was going to his house to propose marriage, Lu Yunshuang should have been shy and refused to reply, but seeing Shen Chaomu who was getting more and more beautiful in front of him, a voice in Lu Yunshuang told him, promise him, promise him, from now on he will be Your husband is gone.
In the end, Lu Yunshuang still nodded with a blushing face, which was regarded as her consent.
Shen Chaomu was calm, after all he was still a young man in his teens, he was very happy to see his sweetheart nodding in agreement to the marriage, and secretly decided to talk to his father about it tonight.
The two of them were sticking together for a while, and it seemed that the time was about the same. Then Shen Chaomu arranged the clothes of the two of them very reluctantly, kissed Lu Yunshuang's forehead again and said, "Shuang'er, go back and wait for me to marry you to come in." , and that red silk inkstone, didn’t you say you liked it earlier, I’ll get someone to send it to you.”
Lu Yunshuang also thought of the inkstone from before, and tugged on Shen Chaomu's sleeve in favor, "Enen, I liked that inkstone very much before, you don't even know how determined I was to confiscate your gift, Zhao Chaomu Go back and get someone to bring it to me."
Shen Chaomu held his forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You, it's almost time, Yun Qi should be waiting outside. I'll take you to the door, so I won't accompany you down." When they meet in private, it's best not to let others know. Otherwise, it would not be good for Shuang'er's reputation. When he opened the door, Lu Yunqi was already waiting at the door.
Lu Yunshuang also saw her younger brother who had been waiting outside, so she followed them away without turning her head.
—————
After Shen Chaomu sent Lu Yunshuang off, he went back to the mansion without going back to his own yard and went directly to the Haitang yard. Just in time when Lord Shen went to Li's house and hadn't come back, he told Xia Rong about his marriage proposal.
Seeing his son's dusty appearance, Xia Rong guessed that the child must have come directly after begging Yunshuang to nod, so she smiled and patted her son's hand and said, "Don't blame your father, he is also a Good intentions, it's because Yunshuang seems to be sixteen, you are not in a hurry, you didn't make it clear when you spoke, and Yunshuang misunderstood."
Shen Chaomu laughed twice, his father's kindness should not come again, he couldn't stand it. Looking at the time, his father was coming back soon, and Shen Chaomu begged his father again, telling him to go to propose marriage soon, and then hurried back to his yard. If his jealous father saw that he was still pestering his father at such a late hour, maybe he would make some trouble for him.
Seeing that her son was so afraid of Shen Xiangyan coming back to harm him, Xia Rong couldn't help but tease the father and son to He Xin, who was waiting by her side.
He Xin could be considered to have watched Shen Chaomu grow up, and echoed, "Our Lord Hou doesn't say anything, but he still loves the little master in his heart." Xia Rong nodded. After all, they are father and son, so there must be feelings.
When Shen Xiangyan came in, he saw that the master and servant were chatting happily. He stepped forward to hug his husband and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about with He Xin? You are smiling so happily." After so many years, Shen Xiangyan still took Xia Rong As the child who married him when he was a teenager, he hugged and kissed him every time.
Xia Rong put her arms around her husband's neck familiarly, and told him about her son's coming to beg him just now, "I think Chao Chao is really in a hurry this time, and I have already promised him to go to Lu's house to give it to him when he comes back to pick an auspicious day." proposed marriage."
Shen Xiangyan turned people upside down and said triumphantly, "Look, without my behind-the-scenes efforts, how could he suddenly think of proposing marriage? He also doesn't see that Shuang'er will be sixteen next year. If we don't propose marriage again, neither will the Lu family." It’s not easy to explain.”
"Yes, yes, what you said is the most correct, Mr. Xia Rong." Xia Rong put her forehead on Mrs.'s forehead and said perfunctorily. She can also use a normal method to help her son. If he insists on doing this, his son will be anxious. "Time flies so fast, it's been more than ten years in a blink of an eye, and our son is going to marry a wife." Xia Rong couldn't help sighing.
"No, but even after another ten or twenty years, my husband, I still love my Rong'er so much." Shen Xiangyan pulled out a hand and touched Xia Rong's head, begging silently in his heart, begging God to open it again Now, let him meet his Rong'er in the next life, in the next life, hold him in the palm of his hand, pet him, love him, and cherish him.
