Chapter 175 Returning Home
After dinner, Xiao Lie, Baili Xi and others sat for a while before leaving.
After they left, Shen Shixu went to find the housekeeper and asked how the preparations for tomorrow's return gift were going.
The housekeeper told him that everything had been prepared according to Xiao Jinyi's instructions, and asked him if he had any other requirements, and he would continue to prepare.
Xiao Jinyi attaches great importance to the return gifts. There is a saying in Dagan that the more gifts a son-in-law brings on the day of returning to the parents' home, the more satisfied he is with his wife.
At the same time, it was also to express how much he valued Yue's family. So in preparation for tomorrow's return visit, Xiao Jinyi had three large carts of things prepared, which was no less than the betrothal gifts offered by wealthy families.
Shen Shixu looked at the list handed over by the housekeeper, which listed dozens of pieces of silk and satin, dozens of boxes of tea and snacks, two boxes of jewelry, two boxes of silver, one box of gold, the fresh fruits and vegetables grown on the farm of Prince Jing's mansion, two pigs, a sheep, a cow, and even two shops in the capital.
After seeing the list, Shen Shixu discussed with Xiao Jinyi whether they should take less, as there were too many of these things.
"No!" Xiao Jinyi took Shen Shixu's hand and walked back, saying as he walked: "These return gifts represent your face, nothing can be missing, I think these things are not enough!"
Shen Shixu heard that he wanted to continue adding, so he quickly advised him, “These are enough, don’t add any more.”
Xiao Jinyi listened to him. If he said not to add it, then he wouldn't add it.
The two returned to their room, washed up and went to bed. Xiao Jinyi was the beauty in his arms, and he was eager to have sex with her, but after experiencing the affair in the afternoon, Shen Shixu really didn't want to have another one.
So she grabbed his hand and shook her head at him, "Not tonight. I'm already very tired from the show this afternoon, and I have to go back to my house tomorrow, so I'd better keep some energy!"
Xiao Jinyi had just started having sex and wanted to stick to Shen Shixu all the time. If he was not allowed to do so, he would turn into a dark mushroom.
Shen Shixu felt a little bit sorry for him when he saw him like that, so he raised his head, kissed him on the chin and said, "I've already done it with you this afternoon, so I'll take a break tonight and I'll make it up to you tomorrow night."
Xiao Jinyi calculated in his mind that if Shen Shixu said so, he would have no disadvantage by chatting with Shen Shixu every day for the next three days, so he agreed.
However, he still pretended to be aggrieved and asked for some benefits.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, but if you don't do it, can I take advantage of it?"
Shen Shixu was led into a ditch by him and felt that he was really wronged, so he let him kiss and hug her, saying that he wanted to go to bed early, but the two of them still tossed and turned until midnight.
And when sleeping, Shen Shixu was held tightly in Xiao Jinyi's arms.
This also caused him to have nightmares all night. He felt like he was entangled by a python, strangling him and making it difficult for him to breathe.
He woke up early the next day. Shen Shixu woke up and saw Xiao Jinyi's well-defined face. There was a smile on his lips. It was obvious that he had a good dream last night.
This made him a little indignant. He had a nightmare all night last night, so how come he had a good dream?
So he pinched his nose mischievously. Xiao Jinyi frowned when he couldn't breathe due to his pinched nose. Then he shook his head, got rid of Shen Shixu's hand, and then leaned over and rubbed his face.
Chen Shixu let him hold him and lie there for a while. About half an hour later, he called Xiao Jinyi in his ear to get up.
"Jinyi, Jinyi, it's getting late, we should get up, we still have to go to my house later!"
After Xiao Jinyi was woken up by him, she smiled and kissed him on the lips, "A Xu~"
Shen Shixu looked at his lazy appearance, raised his hand and rubbed his face, “Well, I’m here!”
Xiao Jinyi looked at Shen Shixu and was absent-minded for a moment before he completely sobered up.
"Well, let's get up quickly and go back early. My parents-in-law must be waiting anxiously!"
Seeing him in a hurry, Shen Shixu wanted to get up and go directly, so he took the clothes beside the bed and put them on, saying, "No matter how anxious you are, you have to eat breakfast!"
After Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi took care of themselves and finished the breakfast arranged by the housekeeper, the two of them took a carriage to the Shen Mansion.
The Shen Mansion is very close to Prince Jing's Mansion, and it only takes two cups of tea by carriage to get there. When they arrived, Father Shen and Mother Shen were already waiting outside the door.
The two watched as the carriage with the sign of Prince Jing's Mansion stopped, and then the mighty Prince Jing walked out of it.
After Xiao Jinyi got off, he nodded to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, then turned around and stretched out his hand, allowing Shen Shixu to get off the carriage with his help.
When Mr. and Mrs. Shen saw this scene, they nodded in their hearts.
They were relieved only when they knew that the couple had a good relationship. Shen Shixu held Xiao Jinyi's hand and got off the carriage. Seeing his parents waiting at the door, he walked towards them with a smile.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back."
"You look better than at home. Your son-in-law must be very good to you." Mother Shen was very satisfied as she looked at her son who had a rosy face and a bright spirit.
"That's because Jin Yi doesn't want to bully me!"
Mother Shen and Shen Shixu walked in front arm in arm, talking and laughing as they entered the house, while Xiao Jinyi consciously lagged behind and talked with his father-in-law.
"I know that my uncle treats you well, but you can't bully him just because he treats you well."
Shen Shixu pouted pretending to be angry, "Humph, I just got married, and you don't love me anymore, mother."
When Shen's mother heard him talking, she patted him lightly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are a piece of flesh that fell from my body. If I don't love you, who else can I love?
But Jin Yi is my brother-in-law, so he is also my half son, so of course I love him! ”
Shen Shixu just said it, and soon hugged Shen's mother's arm and acted coquettishly, "Then mother must love me the most, I want to be in front of my brother, by the way, why don't I see my brother?"
"As for him, I don't know what happened to your brother these past two days. He disappears after breakfast every morning and seems quite happy when he comes back. Do you think he has something going on outside?"
When Shen Shixu heard what Shen's mother said, he thought of what he and Xiao Jinyi saw at Ronghua Milk Tea Shop yesterday.
"Maybe. Isn't this good? My brother has found a place to stay. We have to support him. So don't send anyone to look for him later. Let him get along well with the person he likes."
Mother Shen originally wanted to call Shen Zexi back, but when she heard this, she gave up the idea of calling him back.
As a result, Shen's mother and Shen Shixu didn't want to disturb him, so he came back on his own.
"Brother, why are you back?"
"You are coming back today, how can I, as your brother, not be here?"
