408: Twins
As soon as this little baby came out, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. The depressing atmosphere just now immediately dissipated. Everyone praised the little boy and said all kinds of good things about him. Although they were all country people and didn't say many good words, the Shen family was still very happy. Who doesn't like to hear other people say good things about their own children?
Shen Zigui took his son in, his hands were shaking a little, but he held him tightly, unwilling to let go. The anger he had just had was long gone, and his face was as bright as a flower when he saw his son smiling.
Chunyue also looked at her younger brother and smiled happily. Chuncao and Chunyun both jumped up and down to see her younger brother. Shen Zifu and Shen Zian each picked up one of them and showed them. When the two saw them, they immediately started giggling.
Shen Zhang looked at the little grandson and said with a smile: "This baby is born strong. Although he is a little small, he looks strong and will surely grow up safely. Have you given him a name? I must give my little grandson a good name."
The third generation of the Shen family is called Da Lang and Er Lang at home. In fact, these are just nicknames. They all have full names. Think about it, Shen Ziju and his generation are all senior, so naturally the next generation will have one too. Shen Youfu dreams of becoming an old lady, and he can't let his grandchildren be without a full name.
Dalang and his generation all have the word "Tian" in their names, which shows how great Shen Youfu's hope is.
Shen Youfu said, "Since it was born on this day when Ziju came back, let him give birth to one. He can also benefit from his uncle's influence and become an official in the future."
The people around him all agreed that the child should be named after someone from the Shen family. Shen Youfu was the child's grandfather and had a high status. Now that Shen Ziju, who had the greatest future, had named the child, it was a blessing for the child. Shen Ziju smiled when he heard this. But he suddenly glanced at Su Zhi and saw that Su Zhi was standing there with a smile on her face. She looked at the child with a gentle and amiable look, which he found very touching.
"I really want to name my nephew, but I think it's more appropriate for my fourth sister-in-law to name him. She played an indispensable role in bringing him into this world."
After hearing this, Su Zhi glanced at Shen Ziju.
Shen Ziju smiled at Su Zhi.
When everyone heard this, they all agreed. Su Zhi did make a great contribution. Everyone in the village knew that Su Zhi was known as the Goddess of Childbirth. Li got pregnant because of Su Zhi. Now Su Zhi was in charge of the delivery and saved Li's life. She could be said to be the lifesaver of the mother and child, and a reborn parent.
Shen Zigui said, "Fifth brother is right. In fact, the baby's name has already been chosen. It was given by Fourth brother's wife. It is Tianyou. God will protect this baby and let him live a safe and healthy life. This is the greatest wish of us as parents."
"God bless you, what a good name."
Shen Ziju said with a smile. This was Su Zhi's idea, so even if it's not good, he would still say it's good.
Everyone thought this name was good. In this way, the baby's name was decided. His full name was Tianyou, and his nickname was Liulang, which was chosen according to his generation. Everyone in the family called him Xiao Liuer.
Shen Tianyou, Xiao Liuer. This child immediately became the most cared for child by a large group of people.
Just when the Shen family was happy, someone came to call Su Zhi again. It turned out that giving birth might also have a chain reaction. When Li gave birth, there was also movement on Liu Si Niang's side. She heard that Li had given birth early, so she was anxious and wanted to give birth too.
Su Zhi hurried back to Li Shi's place, and except for Wang Huazhi who stayed behind, all the others followed her.
This was Liu Si Niang's first child, and the pregnancy took a long time. It was not until dark that the child was born. It was also a boy, a full-term baby, quite big in size, and his cry was very loud.
Li Shi was older now and had finally become a father. He was no less happy than Shen Zigui, who had three daughters before having a son. When he knew that Liu Si Niang was safe and sound, he hugged his son and was filled with joy.
Su Zhi named the child of Li Shi's family. She and Shen Zigui's child requested this name. Li Shi's family did not have a generation system, so Li Shi told Su Zhi to give the child a good name. Su Zhi named the child Sheng because the families of Li Shi and Liu Si Niang were not very good. Li Shi's mother died early, and he did not get along with his father and stepmother. He was as good as nothing. Liu Si Niang's parents died. They were all lonely. Su Zhi hoped that the child would make the family prosperous in the future, both in terms of money and population.
Shen Tianyou and Li Sheng, these two little kids were born on the same day, named by Su Zhi, grew up together, and became famous together. When the people in Hebian Village later thought of this day, they all felt that this day was an important day in Hebian Village. Later, many people held weddings on this day, as if this day was a happy day.
Of course, the people in Hebian Village are still unclear about what will happen in the future. After the two children were born, after a few days of discussion, more attention was focused on Shen Ziju. After all, he was an official.
This time, Shen Ziju can only stay for ten days or so, and then he will immediately set off back to the capital to take up his post.
During these ten days, Shen Ziju had a full schedule. Some people wanted to visit him, and many people wrote letters to ask to visit him. All of these were necessary. Although Shen Ziju was now an official, his hometown was still here after all. People in Liang State attached great importance to their place of origin, especially the officials. He was full of energy and wanted to become the prime minister in the future, so naturally he had to have a good reputation and did not want to leave a bad reputation in his hometown.
Especially after so much trouble had happened to my family.
Shen Ziju finally understood why his elder brother was so hesitant when talking to him. His sister Shen Zhu got engaged quickly and then broke off the engagement quickly during his absence! It was a big deal for a girl to break off an engagement. Even if the girl was with the right man, it would damage her reputation and would hinder her from getting married in the future. Moreover, Shen Zhu was wrong this time. This was her second time to break off the engagement, and the one she broke off was the famous Qian family. This was a really big deal, and Shen Ziju felt a pain in his head when he heard about it.
Not only that, the fact that Shen Zhu beat Chunlan so hard that she almost became deaf also made Shen Ziju frown.
Shen Ziju was surprised enough by what happened to his sister, but he didn't expect that Shen Zhang, who usually had a very good reputation, would also suffer a sharp fall in reputation and be accused of harming his aunt's concubine. This made Shen Ziju dumbfounded.
Shen Ziju thought it was no wonder that his fourth brother and his wife refused to come to eat together after he came back. So that was the reason. He thought that if that happened, wouldn't his relationship with them be a little more distant? But he didn't want to. First, he had different feelings for Su Zhi, and second, he now knew how beneficial Fuyuan was to him. When the emperor heard where his hometown was, he mentioned Fuyuan. He immediately thought that after such a long time, the emperor, who was busy with all kinds of affairs, still remembered a garden in a small village. It must be because of the holy beast!
He specifically inquired about the influence of the Holy Beast in the court, and was surprised to find that the power of the Holy Beast was much greater in the court than in the private sector.
Shen Ziju thought that having the Holy Beast as his backing would be of great help to his future promotion. Now that the Holy Beast was in Fuyuan and close to his fourth brother and his wife, he naturally had to maintain a good relationship with them.
Shen Ziju had a headache for a while, and after sorting himself out, he first visited the Qian family and apologized to the Qian family for Shen Zhu's matter, with a very humble attitude. He and Qian Guang have always had a good relationship, and he is a very likable person. The Qian family's wife admires him very much. Now that he has won the second place in the imperial examination and entered the Hanlin Academy, the Qian family is still polite to him. After his apology, the Qian family will not care about it.
After dealing with the Qian family, Shen Ziju went to Fuyuan again.
Shen Ziju had lunch at Fuyuan, and Su Zhi was cooking again. It was the right time for the dishes to be served. There was a table full of vegetarian dishes and preserved vegetables, and some wine was also served.
Shen Ziju was eating the food made by Su Zhi, watching Su Zhi picking up food for the two children. The two children were sitting between her and Shen Zian. They were like a family of four, warm and happy. He felt a little lost in his heart and could only bury his head in eating and look up to chat with Shen Zian.
After dinner, Shen Ziju talked to Shen Zian about Shen Zhang. He said that he would definitely not interfere in this matter and also expressed his belief that Shen Zhang was innocent.
"Fourth brother, mother has been very good to you over the years. You can't believe what Mrs. Li said. I don't ask you not to doubt her, but I only ask you not to treat father, mother, and us brothers as if you are sure she did it before you can prove that she did it."
Su Zhi thought that Shen Ziju was indeed a man who knew how to handle things, and that he might have a bright future in the court.
Shen Ziju didn't hate his brother, but he wouldn't be convinced by his words. He still said the same thing: before Shen Zhang's innocence was proven, he would not go to the old house again and would not call her mother. But this did not affect the relationship between the brothers.
When Shen Ziju heard that it would not affect the relationship between the brothers, and then thought about how his eldest brother and the others all had a good relationship with his fourth brother, he believed it and felt relieved.
When I was looking at the lotus leaves by the pond, someone came to call Shen Zian. Shen Zian stood aside to talk to someone. Shen Ziju and Su Zhi were sitting in the pavilion. Su Zhi was looking at Xiaori and Yueyue playing by the water with a smile on her face.
"Fourth sister-in-law, are you and fourth brother living happily?"
Shen Ziju asked, did he want to ask her if she was happy? Was she happy with Shen Ziju? He didn't know what kind of answer he wanted, he just wanted to ask, maybe it was still the unwillingness in his heart that was yelling.
When Su Zhi heard Shen Ziju ask this, she thought it was really strange for her brother-in-law to ask this question, but she still smiled and answered, "I am very happy. The days with your fourth brother are my happiest days. He is the person I have been looking forward to in my past and present lives."
