Chapter 109

It was the summer of the second year that the Lins and their wife went to live by the Weishui.

This time, she finally felt like a beauty in the Tang Dynasty. Although she was only five months pregnant, she had already gained a lot of weight.

Shen Shaoguang squeezed the flesh around his waist and pursed his lips unhappily.

Lin Yan comforted her: "That's good too." In order to increase the credibility, he added, "The degree of slenderness. It was too thin before, and it made me feel distressed to see it."

Shen Shaoguang glanced at him with a smile, our Lin Langjun said sweet words almost as soon as he opened his mouth.

Although Shen Shaoguang despised his own flesh, he couldn't control his mouth and stomach. Others vomit what they eat when they are pregnant. Shen Shaoguang's stomach can't be empty. Only what he eats will not vomit anything.

She is also very greedy, especially when she misses things from her previous life. The more she can't eat it, the more she misses it.

For example, peppers.

Chopped pepper fish, pickled cabbage fish, boiled fish; spicy chicken diced, pickled chicken feet, dry stir-fried spicy chicken nuggets; pepper fried meat, pepper fried shrimp, pepper fried sausage... Even a bowl of hot and sour noodles will do.

Shen Shaoguang felt that he was a little depressed during pregnancy because of abnormal hormone secretion during a special period, and wanted to cry a little for a bowl of hot and sour noodles.

According to my wife's description, it should be spicy, sour, fried with sesame seeds, fried beans, boiled in broth, minced meat, a little pepper, and coriander. Lin Yan nodded, went to the kitchen in person, took a tray for a long time and brought her a bowl of "hot and sour noodles" for pregnant women in Tang Dynasty.

The powder is mung bean powder, which is overcooked; the spicy food is cornel and minced garlic, the amount is small, it is better than nothing; the vinegar is only a little bit sour; the broth, minced meat and beans are not discounted...

This bowl of hot and sour noodles, which is neither sour nor spicy, exudes the spirit of "Zhongzheng and Peace" inside and out. Although it can be called an anomaly in the hot and sour powder world, it still cured Shen Shaoguang's depression during pregnancy.

Holding a plump stomach and falling on the mat, Shen Shaoguang was happy again.

Lin Yan looked at her and felt very distressed. Since she became pregnant, she has often been unable to sleep well, and is particularly afraid of heat. Although her appetite is good, there are still many things she can't eat. heard that the woman's mood was particularly unstable at this time. Although A Li had a big heart, she sometimes endured it when she wanted to come. Too bad mother-in-law is gone...

Lin Yan rubbed her hair.

Shen Shaoguang looked at him, what happened? Does a dad-to-be also suffer from prenatal depression?

Shen Shaoguang deliberately teased him: "Lang Jun, tell me, what did you think at the beginning? Someone pretended to be a mat seat for me?"

"Seeing that you are afraid of the heat, I wanted to give you a collar. I was afraid that you would not accept it, so I decided to do this." Lin Yan told the truth without any embarrassment.

"Why don't you send it in the name of your grandmother, just like sending a screen before?"

"If you use too much of a method, it won't work."

Shen Shaoguang laughed.

"Unfortunately, my A Li is comparable to a prison veteran." Lin Yan smiled. At that time, he thought there would be more grinding, how could he have thought of such a time now.

Shen Shaoguang was proud: "That's right! At that time, I wisely thought that this matter is 'either traitor or robbery'. I thought it was 'robbery'. Who would have thought..." Shen Shaoguang glanced at Lin Yan meaningfully .

Lin Yan bent down and carefully hugged his beloved wife and kissed her red lips, but he didn't dare to do anything else. After calculating in his heart, it would take a long time.

Tired for a while, Shen Shaoguang sat up, "Go, it's rare to come here by the Weishui, let's go out for a walk."

Lin Yan also sat up, helped her put on a hat to shade her, took her hand, went out the door, and slowly walked towards the Weishui embankment.

"Lang Jun, eat a little snail, is there any problem?"

"It's best not to eat such weird things."

"Where's the eel?"

"The eel is very warm, you might get dry after eating it."

"What about the turtle?"

Lin Yan couldn't bear it any longer, "Turtle turtles activate blood... A li, shall we drink some crucian carp soup? Today, while you were sleeping, I went to catch a few fish, and the cook had already boiled them until they were milky white and milky white. , I will serve you hoto with soup, and put some freshly picked green vegetables in the garden."

Shen Shaoguang nodded: "Alright." Our Langjun's ability to describe eating is almost catching up with me. When he said it, he thought that the noodle soup with crucian carp was not bad. But I still really want to eat spicy fried snails, soft-shelled turtle stewed chicken, and dried eel! Wait until the baby is born...

Both Shen Shaoguang and Lin Yan are looking forward to the day of production soon. After the hot summer, the autumn wind finally blows, and after another two months of autumn, the late autumn is finally here. It was a little cold in the morning and evening, and the due date had already arrived, but there was still no movement.

Lin Yan nervously asked the imperial doctor to come to see him several times. Princess Fuhui and Mrs. Li Xiang also came to see it, and Mrs. Shen Zhi moved in directly.

After another half month, when Shen Shaoguang was walking in the garden as usual in the morning, he suddenly felt something different and finally started.

Shen Shaoguang was still calm, entered the delivery room, changed clothes, ate a bowl of custard custard to replenish her strength, and occasionally joked with her aunt.

Lin Yan went to court, got the news, went to ask the imperial doctor in person, and then couldn't wait, he went home by himself.

The grandmother sat in the hall and looked at the grandson who strode in, "Don't worry, don't worry—"

Lin Yan clenched his fists and listened outside the door.

In the room, there were voices of uncle, mother-in-law, and mother-in-law talking about working hard, there was the sound of utensils bumping into each other, and there was the sound of water, but there was no sound of Ah Li.

When Lin Yan's heart came up, what would happen to Ah Li? The woman gave birth, it was extremely painful, and she was always charming...

"Ah, Ah-"

Hearing his voice, Shen Shaoguang suddenly wanted to cry, this bastard came back!

Without hearing her answer, Lin Yan's heart sank and pushed the door directly in. Mrs. Jiang Tai didn't have time to call him, and the servant girl at the door didn't dare to stop her, so Lin Yan quickly turned around the screen.

"Langzi, what are you doing here?" Mrs. Shen Zhi stopped him.

Glancing at the half-covered curtain, and the shocking blood in the copper basin, "A-li..."

"Okay." Mrs. Shen Zhi said.

"I'm fine!" Shen Shaoguang groaned.

Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Mrs. Shen Zhi, and backed out.

Mrs. Jiang Tai shook her head and nodded at him with her finger.

"Grandma, I'll go outside to greet the imperial doctor."

Mrs. Jiang Tai nodded.

The Imperial Physician was useless in the end, and just after noon, I heard the cry of the child, and the congratulations of the mother came from the room, "Miss, it's a little man."

Outside, Mrs. Jiang Tai recited Buddha, and Lin Yan was the gentleman again.

He smiled and said to the imperial physician that he had worked hard, Yan Hui went to thank him in person, and invited Bai Chuan to come and drink a glass of water and wine.

Just like the reason why descendants take cheap names to make a living, a noble family like the Lin family only shouts loudly to their children, not even a nickname. The Hundred Splash Banquet of the Lin family's little eldest son was not too grand, but the people who came were all very valuable. All the eunuchs sent a copy over.

In the back house are Princess Fuhui and her wives. Shen Shaoguang took the child out and showed it to the ladies. One hundred days later, the stage of the red-skinned fox has passed, the white and chubby, and the parents are good-looking, how can such a child not be cute?

The older ladies wanted to hug and the younger ladies wanted to tease, Lin Xiaodalang frowned and looked serious.

Princess Fuhui laughed and said to Shen Shaoguang, "It's not like you at all."

Mrs. Li Yue also smiled and said, "It was carved out of the same mold as his Aye." Then she smiled and said to Mrs. Jiang Tai, "After a few years, I will be a Tanhua Lang again."

However, Shen Shaoguang knew that this was the prelude to the cry of the little ancestor, and sure enough, "Wow——"

Mrs. Li Yue quickly took a photo and returned the child to Shen Shaoguang.

Shen Shaoguang smiled and said, "He is probably hungry."

The ladies said in a loud voice, "Go and feed, go and feed, don't be hungry."

Shen Shaoguang blessed the eldest princess and the elders a little, nodded to several young ladies, and returned to the inner room with the servants and servants.

One of the young ladies was an old friend of Shen Shaoguang—Qin Wuniang. Although Qin Wuniang got engaged early, because the grandson of Duke Xinyang mourned her grandfather, she got married a little later than Lin Yan and Shen Shaoguang. Thinking about the little baby's frown just now, it really looks like... Thinking back to the past, Qin Wuniang smiled, she was really stupid at that time.

After the banquet, the servants and maids packed up the various gifts sent by the guests. Shen Shaoguang looked at the extremely realistic jade monkey ornaments that Shao Jie sent, and couldn't help laughing. Does this mean that I wish my son would be so skinny?

Also included in the gift are the four sons of the former King of Wu, who are now Li Xu, the king of Huainan County.

The King Wu case was retrialed, and the court sent people to the south to pick up the sons of King Wu—the ones who were still there were Shiro and Goro. It's a pity that only Goro was found. Li Xu only came to Chang'an this spring.

Shen Shaoguang met him once, not only because of the relationship between King Wu and the Shen family, but also because of Yu San.

Shen Shaoguang had already returned the body deed to Yu San, but Yu San still lived in Shen's house and helped her manage a lot of things.

Li Xu's appearance is traditionally good-looking, but she is not as playful as Shen Shaoguang thinks - she always remembers what Princess Yu said about "changing the fish feast".

Seeing Li Xu, light flashed in San's eyes instantly, and then it was the virtue of "Who are you? Who am I? Who do I love?"

Shen Shaoguang left the place to reminisce for them. Walking to the door, heard faint voices in the room.

"Ancestor, I have found you. I really think you were taken to the city." Li Xu's voice.

"The people in the court didn't find you, you went to the surrendered city? Aren't you going to marry a bride? Then Liu Gongdao—"

"You also believe this kind of thing? Bird's head? No, I mean my bird's head..."

Shen Shaoguang smiled, that's all, it's all doom.

After a while, the Lin family received a belated gift.

It was sent by Cui Jing, the master of the former Cui Shangshu family. Lin Yan had nothing to hide from Shen Shaoguang, and showed her the letter.

"... A visitor from Beijing, received a handwritten letter from my brother, and learned that I have received Lin'er, my brother is very happy... My brother has an inkstone, which was donated by Mr. Su Yuan in the past. Although it is not a famous inkstone of the previous dynasty, it is a legacy of a great Confucian scholar. Yu Xiaolangjun..." The first-hand Wei Bei, simple and quaint, is very good. The letter lavished on several pages, talking about his own situation, and also asking about Lin Yan's situation, which is a very common thing, it can be seen that Lin Yan is indeed a very close friend.

Seeing Cui Jing's self-deprecated body in the letter, Shen Shaoguang remembered what he had heard from Chu's uncle about Lin Yan's rescue of Cui Shangshu's family.

At that time, Cui Shangshu was sentenced to two years in prison for his poem "Criticizing Chengyu", and his son was imprisoned for one year. Because Lin Yan and several relatives and friends of Cui's family were actively running, Chen Xiang, who has always been prudent and protective, was moved by compassion and interceded in front of the emperor. Cui Shangshu and his son changed the sentence to Pingzhou, which is closer. I also heard that Cui Jingzheng was suffering from malaria at the time, so it was postponed, otherwise he would lose his life if he couldn't get a place. It didn't take long for the previous emperor to collapse, and today he succeeded to the throne with amnesty, and Cui Jing was able to return to his original home.

This is because Chu Di discovered the relationship between Lin and Chen, and specifically inquired and told Shen Shaoguang, intending to tell her about Lin Yan's person and his entanglement with the Cui family. Shen Shaoguang remembered that the uncle of the Chu family commented on Lin Yan: "Looking deserted, he is affectionate and righteous."

Shen Shaoguang returned the letter to Lin Yan and said with a smile, "In the future, I will tell the stinky boy to use it with care, and don't waste good things."

Lin Yan smiled, "If it's broken, spank him."

When Lin Xiaodalang was three years old, he finally got a big name, called Changling. Shen Shaoguang was a little surprised by the name. She thought that Lin Yan would have expectations and requirements for the child from De Yuxing. Who would have thought that he would be so simple and wish him a long and safe life.

Unfortunately, not long after Lin Changling got his name, his father changed his post as Minister of Punishment, and he was appointed to the south of the Yangtze River as an emissary for over a year.

Lin Changling is a beautiful-looking little boy who doesn't usually talk much, but occasionally talks endlessly.

Shen Shaoguang found that his imagination was extraordinarily rich. When he saw a bunch of ants carrying a fat bug, he guessed that there were soldiers and generals, and there were enemies and me. This made Shen Shaoguang quite gratified. He felt that his genetics were good. Even if the child couldn't do anything else in the future, at least he could write a legend and make a living.

Lin Yan's colleague is very interesting. Every once in a while, they come to ask if there is a letter to take to Jiangnan. This is brought along with the letter from home, and there is a masterpiece by Lin Changling - "Ant Hunting Picture".

The picture was drawn with wicker-burned charcoal, "dense ink and heavy color", and its shape can barely be recognized. There are various annotations made by Shen Shaoguang next to it, and even the pictures are added with characters. It is good to tell the story of the children.

Later, I received a reply letter and got the "homework" corrected by my father. Several plots were added to it, and the original simple story was brought together. In this regard, Little Lin liked it very much, stammering, half-guessingly recognizing the words on the picture, and grinding Shen Shaoguang against the picture and the letter, telling the story of the ant hunting again and again.

Shen Shaoguang occasionally plays it freely, and this story has more details, which has the meaning of changing from children's comics to villains and then to novels.

Maybe it was because of these correspondence, or maybe it was Shen Shaoguang who always said, "Aye loves our boss the most." Although Lin Changling was a little unfamiliar with his father at first, but after talking about a book and playing a game, he quickly became familiar with him. .

Playing Cuju with Lin Yan made Lin Changling sweat. Shen Shaoguang greeted him to wipe his sweat and drink, and Lin Changling waved his hand and wanted to play.

Shen Shaoguang laughed and scolded: "You, Aye, just came back, so ignore Aniang."

Lin Changling held the ball and reasoned with Shen Shaoguang: "I just want to play Cuju."

"You used to play with A Yuan and A Qing, but it was never like this."

Lin Xiaolangjun told the truth in the end: "It's fun to be with Aye."

"Isn't it fun with A Yuan and the others?"

Lin Changling also likes A Yuan, but still said: "It's fun, but it's more fun to play Cuju with Aye."

It's a pity that his preference for his father only lasted until he was about to go to sleep.

"It's getting late, Aye, go to sleep."

Lin Yan looked at his son: "I'll sleep here."

"But this is my bed with my mother."

Lin Yan reasoned with him, "Dalang is already an older child, so I can't sleep with your mother anymore."

"Aye is bigger." Lin Changling hugged his mother's arm.

Seeing his defensive appearance, Lin Yan laughed and sat on the bed, trying to figure it out slowly.

Lin Changling has already said first: "A-Niang said, it's a first come, first come."

Lin Yan: "..."

Shen Shaoguang laughed.

Lin Changling frowned and glanced at his mother reproachfully.

Shen Shaoguang said quickly: "Dalang is right."

Lin Changling showed the same smile that his father had when he was proud.

"With such a big bed, is Dalang really unwilling to share some with Aye?" Lin Yan changed his strategy.

Lin Changling could see his father's intention not to give up. After thinking about it, he took a step back and reached a reconciliation: "Then—Aye sleeps here? A-Niang?"

Shen Shaoguang nodded reluctantly: "Okay, let him sleep here."

Lin Changling was lying between his parents, and at first he had some grudges against his father. Later, after listening to the bedtime stories told by the two fathers, he finally let go of his grudges. He grabbed the corner of Aye's clothes with one hand and put his arm around A-Niang's arm with the other.,Fell asleep.

Lin Yan gently carried him to the bed in the side room, covered the quilt, kissed his son's little face, and returned to the couple's bedroom.

Shen Shaoguang laughed.

Lin Yan also smiled helplessly.

Lin Yan stepped forward and hugged his wife tightly. After a while, he said, "Ali, I really miss you."

Shen Shaoguang nestled in his arms and said gently, "Lin Yan, I miss you too."
