"Don't worry, miss. The mother is fine. She's just a little exhausted from childbirth."
Chen Li finally felt relieved and ordered people to prepare food. They hadn't had lunch yet and only now realized that their stomachs were rumbling with hunger.
Walk into the next room and see my newborn nephew.
"Mom, let me see him."
Lin Cuicui lifted a corner of the blanket, and what came into Chen Li's eyes was a wrinkled and red child. Well, it was not very good-looking.
"He looks quite like your elder brother."
After hearing what his mother said, he stared at him for a while, but he really didn't see any resemblance between him and his elder brother.
Bai Yao and two maids cleaned up Xu Taohua and then walked out, returning to their own residence to change clothes.
Shen Jingyuan was feeding Xu Taohua porridge. She had just given birth to a child, so it was not suitable for her to eat too much tonic. After eating, Xu Taohua fell into a deep sleep.
Because it was winter and the baby had just been born, the windows could not be opened and there was still a bloody smell in the house.
When Li Qiaolan saw her son-in-law taking care of her daughter, she walked aside to see her grandson.
The Shen family looked at the newborn baby for a while before going to eat.
But they didn't stop while eating to discuss the children's names.
Shen Jingyuan was also eating. As for the name of the child, he had no idea yet, so he put the pressure on Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui.
"Dad and Mom, you guys take it."
Shen Changshan frowned. The names of his children were all easy to choose, and he had never worried about it.
Lin Cuicui didn't even raise her head, as she was not good at naming.
"Ali, how about you come and get it?"
Shen Changshan looked at his youngest daughter tentatively. The corners of Shen Li's mouth twitched. With so many people around, it wouldn't be her turn anyway.
Besides, she is not good at naming!
It’s okay to name cats and dogs by myself, but naming my own nephew is too difficult a task, so I’d better hand it over to someone else.
"Fourth brother, you are the one who reads the most in our family, so you come and get it."
Very good, finally the pressure was put on Shen Qi'an.
Feeling the gazes of his family, Shen Qi'an put down his chopsticks and thought seriously for a moment.
"Mo Chi, I hope he will have both the elegance of a scholar and the talent of a military commander in the future."
After hearing this, Chen Li felt that her fourth brother seemed to have high hopes for his eldest nephew when he chose this name.
No, it should not be just the eldest nephew, but also the Shen family. If Si Ge successfully enters the officialdom, then the Shen family will change its status.
After listening to the meaning and reciting it several times in his mind, Shen Changshan thought the name was a good one, so he decided on it. "Let's call it Mo Chi."
After dinner, Xu Taohua had nothing to do, so the family went about their own business.
The store renovation was only halfway done when Chen Li opened the door and looked at the green plants in the room. These were all carefully prepared during her free time.
I plan to put it in the store as a decoration. With the contrast of green plants and flowers, the store will not seem so empty and will have a more elegant feel.
The store will open after Shen Qian'an returns from Lushan Academy.
During this period, Chen Li had bought a lot of food ingredients and put them in the house on Chunhui Road, and even sent the fired porcelain over.
The porcelain agarwood pieces were inspected before being accepted, and they were all fired beautifully, meeting my requirements.
On this day, two carriages were parked in front of the Shen family's door. Shen Changshan was about to set off for Suzhou City to wait for the assessment of Lushan Academy.
The store has been renovated, and the training of staff has been handed over to Bai Yao. Chenli has also confirmed the desserts and drinks during this period, and we are just waiting to open.
This time they went to Lushan Academy, with Shen Li and Shen Qian'an, as well as Xu You and Shen Yuanzhou, while the others stayed at home.
Because she was going out, Chen Li wore men's clothes. She has grown a lot taller now and is already 168 cm tall. Wearing men's clothes, she looks like a handsome young man.
"Ali, your parents are waiting for you at home."
In fact, Shen Changshan and the others really didn't want Shen Li to go, but she was so opinionated.
"Well, don't worry, Dad and Mom. We'll be back after the list is out."
"good."
Watching the carriage go away, Shen Changshan sighed deeply. This time they would have to stay for at least 20 days, and it was the first time he had been separated from his little daughter for so long.
"Go back, don't be outside in the wind."
He held his wife's cold hand and pulled her back.
"good."
A mother worries about her son even when he is away from home. Although this trip to Suzhou is not far, as parents, we cannot avoid worrying.
The carriage soon arrived at the dock in Qingxi County. At this time of year, the dock was still bustling with activity. There were two ships docked there, and many people were unloading their cargo.
There are fishmongers selling fish near the dock. It's so cold, they're just trying to make a living.
There happened to be a ship departing for Suzhou today, so Chen Li and her friends hurried to buy tickets. Since it only takes two hours to get to Suzhou by boat from here, they asked for two rooms to rest temporarily.
After getting on the boat and waiting for half an hour, the boat slowly sailed away from the shore. At first, Shen Yuanzhou was lying by the window looking at the scenery with great interest, but after a while his face gradually turned pale.
Seeing this, Chen Li quickly poured him a cup of tea and took out a bag of sour plums.
"Third brother, eat something sour to relieve the pressure."
Shen Yuanzhou didn't want to talk at the moment. He was afraid that if he spoke, he would lose control of the churning in his stomach. He picked up a plum and put it into his mouth, at least to suppress it.
Because Shen Qi'an and Xu You wanted to read, Shen Yuanzhou was worried that he would disturb them over there, so he came to Shen Li's side.
After the boat moved forward for a while, even Suanmei couldn't hold it in anymore and started vomiting by the window. Fortunately, there was the boat and the river water below them, otherwise there might have been more trouble.
“Ugh~”
“Ugh~”
Chen Li thought about what her third brother had said before: he wanted to take a boat ride and try the river food on the boat. Tsk, seeing how he looks now, I wonder if her third brother regrets it?
The two people in the next room heard the noise and rushed over. They saw Shen Yuanzhou lying by the window and understood what was going on.
"Fourth brother, go back and read your books. I'm here with Third brother."
Shen Qi'an walked over and patted his third brother on the back. His little sister was so far away and her disdain was obvious to him, how could he not see it clearly.
"It's okay. Reading won't take long. Brother Xu, you can go back first."
"OK."
Seeing that he couldn't help much here, Xu You walked back to the room.
Shen Yuanzhou emptied his stomach before he finally calmed down and fell on the couch, motionless.
Chen Li and Shen Qian'an watched, feeling a bit sympathetic but also a bit relieved. Fortunately, they were not seasick. It seemed that they would not be able to take the boat again when they returned.
He took out an orange from his bag, peeled it, and put the peel on Third Brother's nose. "How is it? Do you feel better?"
"Well, it's getting better. Ali is still the best."
Shen Qi'an: "..."
Chen Li blinked, ah this!
