Chapter 141 Xie Zhinan Asks for a Hug
There was no official business these days, but Shen Shurong would still look at the account books in the study. She was reluctant to stop and would always find something to do.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the study door.
Qiaoyu's voice came: "Princess, Master Anan wants to see you."
Shen Shurong frowned, what was he doing here?
Xie Zhinan was led in and bowed politely: "Second Aunt, Anan is leaving soon and will miss you very much."
Shen Shurong wanted to hold his forehead, but held back and smiled slightly: “You are thoughtful, Second Aunt is still busy, now that you have seen it, you can go back and play first.”
"Aunt, are you checking the accounts? Anan wants to see it too." Xie Zhinan's eyes sparkled. Children are very curious, so Aunt would not doubt it.
As long as he reads a few pages, he will know whether the treasury owes a lot of debts as his second uncle said.
Chen Shurong couldn't hold back his smile. Was he addicted to pretending to be a little brat?
"The account book is not suitable for children. Anan is still young. Sui Han, go get the picture book I prepared for Xixi and Ayi and let Anan read it for a while."
Xie Zhinan: No...don't...
Seeing that the princess was not unhappy, the wet nurse carried Xie Zhinan to the small table.
Sui Han brought out some books with pictures and nursery rhymes.
The nurse turned the pages of the book for him and pointed out the pictures to him.
Xie Zhinan's face darkened slightly, and he deliberately asked sweetly: "Second Aunt, this one is not good, I want to read the one on your desk."
Chen Shurong raised his eyebrows slightly: "What I read is confidential, do you still want to be punished?"
When Xie Zhinan heard the word "punishment", his body trembled.
He was so young that his mother really wanted to punish him. He knelt for half an hour that day and his knees were blue for several days.
He pursed his lips, feeling very uncomfortable, but he also knew that he would not be able to get any information. He did not expect that she would be on guard against a child like him: "Then Anan will not bother Second Aunt. Anan will take his leave."
Chen Shurong asked Sui Han to send him off. Haha, she never treated him as a child.
…
During the few days he stayed in Jia County, Xie Yunzheng was not idle and walked around.
He had come here with his father a few years ago, and the scene was completely different from the current one.
Because it was New Year, many shops were closed, but the rows of plaques allowed people to intuitively see that the once desolate place had become prosperous and wealthy, and all of this was due to Yongjia.
It is hard to imagine that she, who has been pampered and willful since childhood, is now able to manage the treasury and promote the development of a county or even a state.
She is worthy of being the person he has loved since childhood. Now that they have each started a family and have children, he still cannot let her go.
No one can compare to her kindness!
On the fifth day of the New Year, many shops were open to welcome customers. He walked into a jewelry store, intending to give her a gift in the name of buying gifts for children.
After picking out two nice-looking necklaces, she asked the shopkeeper to find her some fine hairpins.
The shopkeeper brought out a jade and gold hairpin in the shape of a butterfly. He was very satisfied with it, as Yongjia had loved catching butterflies since he was a child.
I didn’t expect that such a small county town would have such beautiful jewelry.
Xie Yunzheng took it in her hand and looked at it carefully. The workmanship was very fine and it would definitely look beautiful on her.
Holding it gently in his hand, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up and his eyes became softer.
In the afternoon, the gift box from the uncle to his two nephews was delivered to Shen Shurong.
The person who gave the gift also asked the princess to check it carefully and give it to the child only if there is no problem.
When the gift box was opened, two identical collars were placed, one on the left and one on the right, with exquisite designs.
There was a box underneath, and under the box was a letter...
On the morning of the sixth day, after breakfast, Chen Shurong saw them out of the county.
Xie Yunzheng was riding his horse, his eyes fixed on her carriage. She should have seen the hairpin he gave her and the letter.
Is there anything she wants to say to him?
When they arrived at the north gate, everyone got out of the carriage. The princess hugged her daughter again and said, "Don't work too hard. Your grandparents, parents, and brother are here. No matter what you choose, we can support you."
"I understand, don't worry, Mom. I believe he is still alive, so I will be strong."
The Princess sighed slightly: "Whenever you want to return to Beijing, I'll ask your elder brother to pick you up."
"good."
Xie Zhinan kept staring at Shen Shurong, mother was so beautiful when she was young.
In his previous life, his mother was burned to death in a fire when he was old enough to understand. When he saw her in the palace, he was just angry and didn't look at her carefully.
Later, in the Duke of Lu's mansion, in the courtyard that was protected like a treasure by his second uncle, he also saw her. She was very thin.
Her pale and thin face was his deepest impression of her.
Now is the time when his mother is the most beautiful, he wants to take a good look at her.
Unconsciously, he walked in front of Shen Shurong.
When I looked up at her, I remembered that I was a child. When we parted, could my mother hug me?
He opened his arms and said in a voice that only a baby can use: "Second Aunt, can you hug Anan?"
Shen Shurong was talking to her mother-in-law and was caught off guard by the request for a hug. She was slightly stunned.
Then she smiled and squatted down, so that she was the same height as him: "Anan, you are big now, and Second Aunt can't hold you. Let your mother hold you. I think she holds you very steadily."
After saying that, he raised his hand and touched his head.
No one took it seriously. It was good enough that the princess squatted down and comforted them.
But Xie Zhinan's eyes were red, he knew his mother was lying, if she could hold two burdens at the same time, how could she not be able to hold him?
She just doesn't want to hug herself!
Li Wan'er came over and held his hand: "Anan, stop making trouble. We are about to leave and we are in a hurry."
Xie Zhinan resisted the urge to shake him off, lowered his head and said nothing.
Chen Shurong smiled, stood up and ignored him.
After saying goodbye to her mother-in-law and Li Wan'er, she watched them get on the carriage and was about to go back.
Xie Yunzheng frowned when he saw that she had no intention of talking to him.
She must have seen his letter.
In the letter, he recounted the meaningful things that happened between the two of them from childhood to adulthood, and finally wrote that he would always support her.
No matter what difficulties you have, don't bear them by yourself, leave them to Him, He will solve everything.
Although it's not explicit, it's clear that he remembers every little detail about them, and it's clear that he has deep feelings for her.
He stood still, holding the horse.
Shen Shurong came over and nodded slightly to him.
Xie Yunzheng's brows relaxed. Is she going to respond to him?
He stared at her, his heart slightly lifted. As long as she agreed, he would find a way.
"Thank you for the gifts you gave to Ayi and Xixi, they like them very much. I hope you have a safe journey back to Beijing. I wish you, brother and sister-in-law, happiness and beauty for the rest of your life."
After saying that, Yinzhi helped Shen Shurong pass him and left.
Xie Yunzheng's heart felt like it was sinking into an ice cellar.
He thought of many ways to respond: her ignoring, or avoiding suspicion, or being ambiguous, or being willing to wait, but he never expected it to be a blessing.
She actually blessed him and Li Wan'er? ! !
It was not until he heard the sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling behind him that he came back to his senses.
After all this time, his heart still hurts.
She must have thought that Xie Yunzhao was not dead yet, so she didn't hesitate to hurt him.
When she believes that day, she will definitely think of herself. In this world, she is the only one who has always loved her.
He mounted the horse, whipped the horse and rode away.
He said that he would never give up and that she would be his sooner or later.
