Shen Zian's Celebration
"Su Zhi, don't be sad. I think the man surnamed Ye will treat Xing'er well. You can rest assured."
Aunt Lan saw Su Zhi standing in the corridor looking at the empty gate and came over to persuade her.
Su Zhi smiled and said, "I'm not that upset anymore. I'm also happy that Xing'er can return to his parents. I can go to the capital to see him later."
Aunt Lan nodded and went to the kitchen with Su Zhi to cook.
Shen Zian accompanied a few people walking in the garden. It is spring now, and the trees in the garden have already sprouted branches and leaves. It is the most tender green color of spring, giving people a very refreshing feeling. There are many primroses planted in the garden. The yellow flowers are matched with the deep green shadows. In addition, the sunshine today is very good. Walking on the stone path makes people feel very leisurely.
Xiaori walked beside Shen Zian, Yueyue and Zhou Zihao were talking, and Qian Dahu was talking to Shen Zian. Ye Wenru naturally found an opportunity to walk beside Xing'er and asked him some questions with a smile, such as how many words he knew now, what books he read, what he usually played, and whether he was in good health.
Xing'er answered seriously, thinking that this Uncle Ye was really strange. He was a very sensitive child. Although he was young, he could find that Uncle Ye paid more attention to him than to Xiaori and Yueyue. He thought it was strange. The three of them were usually very popular. But he knew that Xiaori and Yueyue were more popular than him, because Xiaori was very calm, and when he stood there, he gave people the feeling of a little adult. Adults liked children and admired them. Yueyue was lively and likable, and her smile attracted people's attention. They thought she was like a doll in a New Year picture, so they naturally loved her. But he was very quiet. According to his mother, he had something in his belly, which he usually didn't show to others.
Thinking of his mother patting his belly and saying these words, Xing'er smiled. His mother was really the best mother in the world. There were many women in the village, but none of them was as good as his mother. Even the wives of officials and rich ladies in the city were not as good as his mother.
Seeing his son's smile, Ye Wenru didn't know what he was thinking about. He really wanted to know. He hadn't witnessed his son's growth for so many years, and now he just wanted to know more about him. When he asked, Xing'er told him the funny things he had just thought of. As she spoke, she laughed again. Her pale face, which was always stern in front of guests, became very lively, and finally had some childish air.
Ye Wenru saw that Xing'er was so happy when she talked about Su Zhi. He thought that Su Zhi really loved Xing'er, and he wanted to repay the couple.
"Xing'er's mother really loves Xing'er."
"Yes, I want to be a high-ranking official in the future, and let my mother be the consort of the emperor."
Xing'er thought of his mother saying that he would definitely pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar in the future, so he thought that he must make his mother the mother of the top scholar. In the stories his mother told him, the mother of the top scholar was called the Lady of the Imperial Court, which was very impressive. He thought that he must make his mother the Lady of the Imperial Court, so that he could repay his mother for bringing him up and raising him.
Ye Wenru listened to Xing'er, a little kid, answering his questions so logically. He was very mature, and no worse than the children of his colleagues. He felt proud and sad. He thought that Xing'er was indeed his son. He was very smart. He felt very uncomfortable when he thought that his son did not grow up by his side. He heard that before being adopted by the Shen family, he was kidnapped by kidnappers and almost died of illness.
"Xing'er is amazing."
When Ye Wenru heard how filial Xing'er was to Su Zhi, he thought that he was indeed his son. If his wife knew how filial Xing'er was, she would be very happy. He must take him home. His wife would definitely feel better after seeing him.
Ye Wenru's wife has been blaming herself for the loss of her son these years. She always cries and has no appetite. Finally, she fell ill. The doctor said that in addition to physical weakness, this is a heart disease, and heart disease can only be cured with heart medicine. The wife's heart disease is her son. As long as she finds her son, she will definitely get better.
A smile appeared on Xing'er's face, and he talked to Ye Wenru as they walked. He also liked listening to Ye Wenru talk. He felt that although this man was a little strange, he seemed to be an extraordinary person. He liked talking to extraordinary people because his mother said that if you come into contact with a certain kind of person, you will learn the characteristics of that person.
Construction work was underway in Fuyuan. Some of the people who came were from the village, and some were from nearby villages. They were all familiar people. They greeted Shen Zian and bowed to Qian Dahu. They looked at Zhou Zihao and Ye Wenru with curiosity. They all thought that Shen Zian's family must have had some extraordinary people. They looked at what they were wearing and their impressive looks. They were not ordinary people. If they could be accompanied by Qian Dahu, they must have the same family background as Qian Dahu. In the eyes of these villagers, the Qian family was a good family that could not be surpassed even by flattery.
Mr. Qian looked at the pavilions and courtyards that had already reached a considerable scale, the neatly repaired rockery paths, and the newly planted flowers and trees, and praised Shen Zian. He thought that this Fuyuan was now more majestic and beautiful than before, and better than his several manors. If he had not known that this Fuyuan was a treasure land that the Shen family would not sell, he would have wanted to buy it at a high price. This was truly a treasure land. Look at the flowers, plants, and trees here, they all grow better than those outside. It must be because there are several holy beasts living here, and there is also the pond.
They followed the path to the pond and sat down in the pavilion beside the pond.
Zhou Zihao was full of praise for this place, and Ye Wenru also nodded.
Xiao Rixing'er and Yueyue stood by the pond, looking with a smile to see if there were any fish in the water. When they saw one, they would call out.
When the adults saw that the child was far away, they started talking about Xing'er.
Ye Wenru expressed his gratitude to Shen Zian again, thanking them for raising Xing'er so well.
"When Xing'er was lost, he was just a very small baby who spoke very little and didn't like to laugh. But now he is fair and clean, loves to laugh, speaks very coherently, and can read. I think even if I were to raise him myself, I couldn't do any better than this. I really don't know how to thank you for being so kind to him. If you have any requests, just let me know. As long as I can do it, I will do my best. Please don't be too picky."
Ye Wenru said this and bowed to Shen Zian again.
Zhou Zihao said at the side: "Brother Shen, Brother Ye is sincere, you and Sister Shen should not be polite. If it were me, I would definitely not be polite."
Qian Dafu listened silently. Although he wanted to befriend Ye Wenru, he would not interrupt at this time. After all, this was the time to talk about benefits. He thought again that it would be better if he had raised the three children by his side. Now he was the one being thanked. He was a little jealous of Shen Zian.
Shen Zian looked at the three children playing happily and said, "I don't ask for anything. My wife and I have raised Xing'er as our own son for the past two years. What kind of reward can we ask for for raising our own son? You are Xing'er's biological father, and you didn't lose him on purpose. We don't mind if you take him away. We just hope that he can live better in the future than with us. If he doesn't live well, my wife and I will take him back. Don't blame us for not treating you as his biological father. I am a man of my words."
Shen Zian spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and the last few sentences even had a hint of coldness.
Qian Dafu and Zhou Zihao were both silent, thinking that what Shen Zian, as an adoptive father, had done was truly amazing.
Ye Wenru was not angry at all. Instead, he was extremely grateful for Shen Zian's love for his son. He cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Shen Xian'er. This time my wife and I will take good care of Xing'er and won't let him get hurt again. If he does it again, you can just bring him back. You and Madam Shen have a kind heart towards Xing'er. After I take him away, you are still his parents and can go to the capital to see him anytime. My wife and I will definitely prepare a bed to welcome you when the time comes."
Qian Dahu thought that Shen Zian had really established a relationship with Ye Wenru. If Shen Zian did not catch Ye Wenru's eye, he might have just given him some benefits to end the feud once and for all. But now, Shen Zian caught Ye Wenru's eye, and because of Xing'er's existence, the two families would have to interact with each other in the future.
Shen Zian suddenly thought of something, thought about it, and said to Ye Wenru: "There is one thing I want to ask you, Lord Ye. I wonder if there were other families in your area who also lost children when Xing'er was lost. Xing'er and Xiaori and Yueyue were rescued together. They have been together since they could remember. So it is not clear whether they met later or were lost together from the place where you lived at that time. If they were together, you must have known if there were other families who lost their children when you were looking for the children. I don't know about Yueyue, but according to some of Xiaori's memories, he should be a child of a wealthy family. If he was lost, there would not be no movement at all."
Ye Wenru shook his head and said, "When Xing'er was lost, I was working in a prefecture not far from the capital. I sent officials to look for her. There were indeed children missing, but they were all older children, not as old as Xiaori and Yueyue. I think they might have met each other after they were lost."
Shen Zian nodded, feeling somewhat relieved. Although he felt a little regretful that he couldn't help Xiaori and Yueyue find their parents, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that Su Zhi didn't have to send away three children at once. When he thought of Su Zhi's tears, he felt sad and wished he could force Xing'er to stay as well.
Lunch was ready and everyone went back to eat.
Su Zhi was very skillful, and because someone was working here, the ingredients were well prepared, so she prepared two tables in no time, so that the guards and followers who came with the rich people could sit at one table.
The third update will be later, I will go to write some current stories first. I have been feeling sleepy lately, I feel sleepy in the morning and even sleepy in the afternoon, I slept until five o'clock, what a tragedy.
