Chapter 329 Time Passes
In the evening, Shen Xia and Song Yun returned to the courtyard.
I went over to check on the child first.
Ruyi and two maids were beside her.
"Fourth Young Master, the Madam is back."
Shen Xia nodded: "Yes, the three little treasures are asleep."
"Well, I was a little tired after playing in the afternoon, so I went to sleep." Ruyi said.
"Oh, okay!" Shen Xia gently kissed the three little treasures on their foreheads.
In addition to three small beds, this room also has a larger bed next to it.
Someone will be left here to accompany the child at night, so it will be convenient in case the child needs to find someone.
Song Yun took a look and said, "Let's go!"
The two returned to the room.
Jixiang was responsible for helping the two of them wash and brush their teeth.
Yan Yi asked someone to fetch the water.
Men are generally not allowed to enter the lady's room.
Everyone knew about it when it happened at the Song residence before.
So even if Song Yun was here, Yan Yi could only wait at the door.
And won't come in.
After washing up, they lay on the bed.
"Fourth brother, can I ask you a question?"
"You want to ask about the Pei family?"
Shen Xia looked up at Song Yun in surprise: "How did you know?"
Song Yun gently scratched Shen Xia's nose: "You met such a person today. You either asked about the Rui Palace or asked about Pei Guogong."
Shen Xia nodded: "The manor was bought, it belongs to Sister Gu. The house was originally worth 30,000, but she insisted on selling it to me for 20,000. The house is nice, so I gave the manor 10% of the profit."
"Okay!"
"Will Fourth Brother blame me for not discussing this with you in advance?"
Song Yun looked at Shen Xia: "Xia Xia, why would you think so? Everything in this house belongs to you and the children. We are also yours. You have the final say in everything. If you want to lie down, you can do whatever you want. Just order us around."
Shen Xia listened to Song Yun's every word: "What about the third brother? He is in charge of business."
"Him? He has no principles towards you, doesn't Xia Xia know that?"
Shen Xia thought so too.
Shen Xia gently moved closer to Song Yun's arms.
"I talked to Sister Gu for a long time today, and I found that her marriage didn't seem very happy. I also know that people shouldn't interfere in other people's relationships casually, but it's strange that she, the mistress of the house, is bullied by a concubine."
Song Yun looked at the little head in his arms: "I know that Gu Ziyan has always been good to you, so you feel sorry for her. You don't want to see your friend suffer. I think you are just giving some advice and won't interfere."
"Fourth brother really understands me!"
"When Gu Ziyan married Pei Yuanqi, she was marrying a wealthy man."
"What, isn't Gu Ziyan's father a prince?"
"Do you think that princes are just from noble families? Not necessarily. There are powerful princes and powerless princes."
"Oh! Then fourth brother, please continue."
Song Yun gently patted Shen Xia's shoulder: "Prince Rui is the son of the late emperor's elder brother. When the late emperor ascended the throne, for the sake of imperial power, few people in the royal family had real power. But Duke Pei is different. He has come to where he is today step by step. Whether it is the late emperor or the current majesty, he is important, so he has real power, but the Rui Palace is stronger."
"Then why did Pei Yuanqi marry Sister Gu?"
"Pei Yuanqi asked for it himself. In addition, Princess Rui had a good relationship with the eldest princess and was related by marriage. The eldest princess held great power, so Duke Pei agreed after repeated consideration."
"Oh, the in-laws from noble families are really troublesome!"
"But the Duke is the only one who is powerful in the Duke's Mansion. He only has two sons, a legitimate son and a legitimate daughter, and a bastard son. Both sons did not inherit the Duke's literary talent. Pei Yuanqi was already in his early thirties and only managed to become a fifth-rank official. On the contrary, the bastard son has literary talent, but he is suppressed by the mistress. There is nothing we can do."
After hearing this, Shen Xia finally understood why Xiaoyan said that.
Indeed, once the Duke is gone, there will be no one to take charge of the Mansion.
However, although the Rui Wang Mansion had no future, Gu Zizhan had made many military achievements.
Therefore, it is really uncertain what the future will be like. At this time, a woman’s parents’ family is really her support.
Song Yun continued to talk about the current situation in the capital while patting Shen Xia.
Song Yun felt the sound of calm breathing in his chest.
I couldn't help but chuckle.
asleep?
This cannot be blamed on Shen Xia. I don’t know if Song Yun’s gentle patting technique is due to him hugging Song Yiyi too much.
How can you not sleep if you are photographed like this at night?
Besides, I was tired yesterday!
Song Yun carefully put the person in his arms down.
I feel satisfied just looking at Shen Xia's sleeping face.
In the next few days, Shen Xia arranged for Bi Yi to have someone raise silkworms, and the silk cocoons were given to Shen Xia to take in the space.
I've saved a lot over the years.
She also asked her parents to buy her a lot of fruit trees, such as kiwis, dragon fruits, and grapes.
There are still many. Hundreds every year. Let's try the ones that survive first.
Then plant it on a large scale.
These fruits are not available in this place. In the capital city where there is no shortage of money, they can be sold at sky-high prices in the future.
I'll tell you where the seeds came from when the time comes.
Just say that it was discovered by my second brother. Anyway, in the eyes of all the people in Dajin, my second brother is a planting genius.
Thinking of this, Shen Xia thought of the fruits in Song’s house again.
I can have some fruit to eat when I get back.
There doesn't seem to be much fruit in Jiucheng.
When these arrangements are almost done, the third brother should also come, and of course he will bring a group of people with him.
And so the days passed one by one.
In the meantime, Gu Ziyan asked Shen Xia to go out for an outing together.
Both of them brought their children, and it seemed that Sister Gu was in a much better mood.
The next day, everyone was talking about it on the streets.
The Duke knew everything when he attended court.
Pei Yuanqi was also scolded.
The concubine was sentenced to half a month's confinement.
However, Pei Yuanqi felt so sorry for her that he often went to accompany her.
Gu Ziyan finally realized how stupid she was before. Even if she didn't bother with the clown, she should still have her own momentum.
But none of this matters anymore. From now on, only myself and my children are more important.
In the days that followed, Song Yun built a pavilion in the middle of the backyard.
Song Yun was reading a book nearby.
Shen Xia took out the piano from the space.
Yifan was fine, but Yiyi and Yiyan were taught by Shenxia to play the piano.
Of course, I won’t teach many songs. In one month, I will only teach one song.
The two children still love to learn and think this thing is very interesting.
So I practice every day.
Everyone around me was so curious, what instrument is that?
Before starting to practice, Shen Xia made his presence known to all his neighbors.
Otherwise, if the chaotic noise started, someone would have complained a long time ago, but Shen Xia had already turned the volume down to the minimum.
After a month of training, it finally took shape.
Shen Xia was curious at first. Should he go to the room to read?
Are you afraid of disturbing him while he is reading?
But he said that if you are calm, nothing can disturb you?
Why does Shen Xia feel so unconvinced?
But day after day, do people really watch it seriously?
Gradually, the children also learned two songs.
Occasionally Song Yun would ask Shen Xia to play a song for him.
Song Yun also studies in his spare time. Of course, Song Yun is an adult, so he learns very quickly.
Sometimes we play together, and I find it very interesting.
