Chapter 263: Thank you: It was finally exposed

After the proposal, the two geese naturally stayed in the Shen family. The Shen family was not as big as the princess's mansion, and they could not set aside a garden for the geese to stay. So they simply built a nest in the garden for the geese to stay. There happened to be a small pond in the garden, where the geese could go swimming. It was winter now, and no one in the family wanted to go to the garden, which was a good thing for the two geese. They had to hold their heads high and "inspect" the garden early in the morning, treating the garden as their own territory.

Once, when Shen Su was bored at home, he went to play with a goose and was chased all over the garden. Thanks to Shi Tou who heard the noise and came to rescue him in time, Shen Su's butt was saved. But even so, this incident was enough to make Shen Su laugh for a long time.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Shen Yuan and Xie Hui went out to play for another day. They also went to the horse farm to visit Shen Yuan's pony Nian Gao. When Shen Yuan told Xie Hui about how Shen Yuan was almost bitten by a goose, she noticed that Xie Hui's expression was a little subtle. Suddenly, she had an idea and went to Xie Hui and asked him, "Brother Youqi, were you bitten by a goose?"

Originally Shen Yuan was just testing the waters, but being squeezed by E was one of the most embarrassing things in his twenty years of life, so it showed on his face unconsciously.

Then came Shen Yuan's laughter, which startled Nian Gao and Xuan Feng who were eating.

Xie Hui wanted to continue to make excuses, "Manman, you misunderstood, it's not true."

Shen Yuan forced himself to smile, "Don't be embarrassed, I won't make fun of you."

Xie Hui looked at her lovingly and helplessly and said, "This is not a joke. So what were you doing just now?"

"Just now... just now I was so happy! I couldn't help laughing when I thought about hanging out with Brother Youqi, really!" Shen Yuan said with a giggle, stepped forward and took Xie Hui's arm, and changed the subject, "What did you say before, that you wanted to take Xuanfeng to Jingzhao Prefecture?"

Xie Hui knew that her family was trying to change the subject, and was being very blunt, but she still cooperated and answered, "Yes, I have to go out of the city often to handle cases in Jingzhao Prefecture, and the horse that Lord Wu left behind... I can't ride it." She took the opportunity to touch Shen Yuan's head, which felt very good.

Ever since returning from Qingxi Village last time, Zhou Zhongan had someone take the horse to lose weight. However, perhaps it was used to the good life, and now when asked to lose weight, it would steal grass from other horses. When locked up alone, it would gnaw on the fence of the stable. When taken out for a walk, it would be too lazy to move and would just stand there after walking two laps.

"Xuanfeng would definitely be happy if he knew he could go back with you."

After hearing this, Xie Hui asked Shen Yuan, "Why don't you take the rice cake back with you? That way you don't have to wait so long to come and see it."

"But there's no room for my stable."

"You can take it to our house. There are people at home who will take care of it."

Shen Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately went over to talk to Nian Gao, "Nian Gao, Nian Gao, you can come home with me."

Nian Gao seemed to understand and bent his head to rub Shen Yuan's neck.

Shen Yuan had only ridden a horse twice before, so he went back in a carriage. Xie Hui rode Yu Qilin and followed with Nian Gao, but Shen Yuan couldn't sit still, so he just kept the carriage window open and talked to Xie Hui.

…

"A date! A date! Dad is here."

Xie Yuan had an appointment with Lord Yu for tea today. Sitting by the window on the second floor, he happened to look down and saw his son riding a horse, so he quickly greeted him loudly.

Shen Yuan heard the voice, went to the other side, opened the curtain and waved, "Hello, uncle!"

"Oh, great. Where did you go today?"

"Going to the horse farm!"

"Good, good, good, the racecourse is good."

After the two left, Xie Yuan said to Master Yu happily, "My future daughter-in-law."

Lord Yu thought to himself, you want to show off, I was the one who calculated their horoscopes, how could I not know?

With a smile on his face, he said, "Not bad, the young couple is a match made in heaven. I calculated it and they are a perfect match! Um... I heard that Brother Xie recently acquired a painting by Wu Gong of the previous dynasty..."

Xie Yuan's face froze. What a blunt way to ask for it!

Shen Yuan and Xie Hui first returned to Ning'an Marquis's Mansion to settle Nian Gao and Xuan Feng. Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and Xie Hui will go to Jingzhao Mansion to bring Xuan Feng over.

Xie Hui said to Shen Yuan with great embarrassment: "Manman, I can't spend the Lantern Festival with you tomorrow. I have to help patrol the streets tomorrow night."

During the Lantern Festival, the more lively the day is, the busier Jingzhao Prefecture and the Imperial City Bureau are. The more people there are, the more dangers there are. Apart from other things, there are more kidnappers at this time. This alone is enough for them to keep an eye on, and there are also petty thefts, fighting and the like that cannot be stopped.

"It's okay, just do your thing. As a commoner, I have to thank you for protecting the peace and security here so that everyone can have fun in peace."

"Thank you……"

Xie Hui swallowed the word "Manman" whole, and the same goes for "Manman".

…

"Grandma, Dad, let's go out to see the lights together tomorrow night... or maybe just go out for dinner together."

Shen Xu was immediately dissatisfied when he heard this: "Hey, what about me and your sister-in-law? You forgot about us, didn't you?"

Shen Yuan looked at Shen Su with a look of resentment: "Brother, you still need my sister to teach you this! Why are you following us? You should go out and play alone with your sister-in-law!"

After hearing this, He Ying deliberately said to Shen Yuan: "We are an old couple, how can your brother still remember this?"

Shen Xu hurriedly explained, "No! Yingniang, don't misunderstand me. Of course I want to go out with you. I was just joking around. Don't take it seriously."

Shen Yuan even added fuel to the fire, "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and you still haven't made an appointment! Brother, you are really outrageous."

"Hey! You little girl, I just said something to you and you tried to sow discord between me, right?"

Shen Yun smiled and said, "I think what you said is quite right. You should have taken this matter to heart a long time ago. Why did you only mention it today?"

"That's right, it's my fault."

"Dad, Grandma, why are you joining in the fun?"

Shen Su had a bitter face. It was very cold to sleep in the study room on such a day. Soon, he seemed to have thought of something and asked Shen Yuan, "You are still talking about me. Xie, can I date you sometime?"

Shen Yuan drank a sip of soup and swiftly avoided the trap of this question. "He and I haven't gotten married yet, and I want to be with my grandmother and father more."

I didn’t fall for it... Shen Xu was completely speechless.

——Small Theater

He Ying: I don’t know who it is, but he used to ask me out whenever he had free time, saying “Manman”. But things are different after I got married.

Shen Su: The couch in the study is so hard and cold...
