Chapter 163: Thank you: The opinionated mother, the silent father, the courageous daughter-in-law and the shy me

"This is my first time in your yard."

The adults discussed the marriage and drove them out. Xie Hui was pulled by Shen Yuan into her yard. The small yard was more exquisite and beautiful than his. The yard was full of flowers and plants, and there was a swing. There was also a small pavilion in the corner of the yard. Under the pavilion were several chairs of various shapes. Xie Hui silently took note of these things.

Xie's reply made Shen Yuan not know how to respond. He tilted his head and said, "Then...will you come often in the future?"

Xie Hui realized that whenever he was with Shen Yuan, he would always laugh unconsciously.

“Your yard is beautiful.”

"Fuling in our family likes to take care of flowers and plants. The flowers and plants in this yard are all her credit."

The two of them sat down in the pavilion, and Xie Hui realized the beauty of the chair. The backrest was slightly curved, which just supported the waist and back and was very comfortable.

"The chair is very comfortable. Was it your idea?"

"Yes, I just drew them randomly, and my father asked a carpenter to make them."

In this yard, there are some mosquito-repellent herbs planted, so there is no need to worry about ants when sitting outside. The seats of the chairs are widened, and usually when there is no one else in the yard, Shen Yuan just takes off his shoes and sits down.

Xie Hui said naturally: "In the future, we can also put chairs like this in our yard."

Xie Yuan, who was discussing marriage at this time, silently shed tears for his son. His princess was really... He couldn't tell whose mother she was. If they continued to discuss like this, his son would not be able to find a wife even when he was thirty...

There were only Shen Yuan and Xie Hui in the yard now. Qingdai had sent all the maids out early in the morning to prevent anyone from disturbing them.

"Do you want to come look in my room?"

Xie Hui suddenly became a little nervous, "Can I go?"

Shen Yuan pulled Xie Hui up and said, "I have the final say in my yard. Let's go."

Xie Hui suddenly felt that this feeling was very strange. Being in the place where Shen Yuan lived, she was everywhere. There were graffiti hanging on the wall, and the books of stories mixed with "The Analects" and "Records of the Grand Historian" on the bookshelf.

"Are you writing a story?"

Xie Hui glanced at a thick stack of papers on the desk.

"Yes." Shen Yuan nodded. "I write a little occasionally, but there are things to do every day, so it takes a long time to write a story."

Shen Yuan had nothing to be embarrassed about, so he simply handed the manuscript back to Xie for him to read.

"The man who came was none other than the Junior Official of the Dali Temple. He was dressed in red official uniform, had an upright figure, a handsome face, and a handsome look..."

"Why are you still reading! You are not allowed to read!" Shen Yuan ran over and covered Xie Hui's mouth while trying to snatch the manuscript back. He had forgotten when he wrote it. He didn't know how Xie Hui could find this paragraph so accurately from such a large pile. He didn't feel it when he was writing, but Shen Yuan couldn't stand being read like this. It wasn't because he was shy, but just simply embarrassed.

"Hey! Don't be embarrassed, Manman. Shouldn't I be the one who should be embarrassed? You wrote me so well."

"You misunderstood, I was writing about my dad!"

"I see. If my uncle knew this, he would be very happy."

"Humph, you don't understand. All storybooks have to be written like this. If I write that the Dali Temple Minister has white hair and beard and is over 60 years old, no one will like to read such a storybook."

"Yeah, that's absolutely right."

Only then did Shen Yuan realize that Xie Hui's face was already very close to him, and his hand seemed to be still on Xie Hui's waist.

Shen Manman, who had never known how to write the word "shy" in her life, pinched it subconsciously, but failed to move it.

"Haha, pretty solid."

Seeing that Xie Hui didn't move, Shen Yuan moved closer, not knowing that Xie Hui had frozen.

"Why are your ears red?"

Shen Yuan suddenly had evil intentions, so he went up to Xie Hui and put his hand on his face, then covered his ears with his hands.

"Your ears are so hot, Brother Youqi. Is it too hot? Let's go out." After saying this, Shen Yuan pushed Xie Hui away and stood up straight.

“Full.”

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Xie Hui said nothing and silently turned the other side of his face that was not kissed to him.

But how could Shen Yuan use the same trick twice!

She replied to Xie: "Put your hand out."

Xie Hui did as he was told. Shen Yuan grabbed his hand and kissed the palm, then put his hand back to his face.

"Okay, can we go out now?"

It was already time for lunch, and when they came over, it seemed that the adults had finished talking.

When Princess Kang Le saw her son, she asked him, "Why is your face red?"

Xie Hui spat out two words, "Hot."

No one doubted it. Old Madam Shen, who was sitting at the head of the table, even said, "Speaking of which, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. It's only May and it's already so hot. How are we going to survive in June?"

Rich families can use ice, so their houses are at least cool. But ordinary people don’t get ice from anywhere, not to mention they have to work in the fields.

Xie Yuan said, "I heard from the Qintianjian that it will rain in the next few days. Maybe it will be better after the rain."

There has been little rain recently. If it continues like this, there will be a drought. The court is worried.

Only Shen Yun didn't believe her daughter's lies at all. Looking at her expression, he knew that she had done something "bad" again.

But the old father had no choice. Who could have said that this bold and daring daughter was his? Actually, she took after Yan Niang.

After lunch, the princess went to see He Ying, who was in confinement after giving birth, and also took a look at the child.

"This child is handsome. He will definitely be popular with girls in the future."

Shen Yuan also changed into clean clothes and hugged his little nephew. When he first talked to Xie Hui about the engagement, he did not take into account his sister-in-law's confinement. Shen Yuan felt regretful and embarrassed.

He Ying knew what Man Man was thinking. She smiled and said, "This child will grow up to look like his aunt."

"It's just right. When you're done with your confinement, and Brother Manman's imperial examination is over, you can go out and watch the parade of the top scholar. I think you've got the perfect baby."

Shen Yuan also laughed. His nephew was born when the results were announced, and he was exactly one month old when the palace examination took place. "My brother said two days ago that we should just call ourselves Dengke every year."

He Ying was speechless. Shen Su had also said the same thing to her.

"If he dares to let the child be named Dengke, I will take the child back to my parents' home."

Shen Yuan did not listen to what the adults discussed, but in the end, the two of them were married.

In the afternoon, the two of them formally paid their respects to the elders of the two families. Princess Kangle took out a pair of double-breasted pendants and gave one to Shen Yuan and the other to Xie Hui.

"This jade pendant was given to me by his grandmother when I got married. Now I am giving it to you two. I hope you two can be well and be happy together every day."

Shen Yun also took out a love lock and gave it back to Xie. "This love lock was also given to Yingniang and Suer when they got engaged. I won't say more. It's fate that brought us together. You must cherish it."
