On the other side, the protagonist of the story in Luo Huaiyuan's mouth was standing in the courtyard, looking at the crescent moon in the sky with a bleak expression.
Yan Mo has developed a habit since childhood. After dinner, he would take a walk for a while, and he saw that figure as soon as he stepped into the hospital door. He and Shen Ran lived in the same courtyard, while Shen Yiyao lived in another adjacent courtyard.
Seeing him, Shen Ran nodded slightly at him, Yan Mo smiled back, and stepped into the door. This journey has been a long way, and the two inevitably have a lot of communication, so they are well aware of some of each other's habits.
Shen Ran saw Yan Mo's figure disappearing behind the door, and stood for a while, then turned around and went back to his room.
Silent all night.
Luo Huaiyuan was very entangled that Yan Yan didn't believe the story she told. In order to prove that she was not bragging, she went to Yan Mo early the next morning. The two got together and didn't know what to say. When they came back, Yan Yan saw him with a strange expression.
Even Yan Mo could see some clues, but only the clues were not as profound as Luo Huaiyuan. Yan Yan couldn't help but believe it, maybe there was something tricky between them
In daily life, Yan Yan will inevitably pay more attention. It's just that after all, there are differences between men and women, and it is rare to encounter Shen Ran and Shen Yiyao appearing together.
According to Luo Huaiyuan and Yan Mo's observations, Shen Ran just moved some thoughts unilaterally between the two, and Shen Yiyao was still in a situation where he didn't notice it. Perhaps the preconceived notions are deeply ingrained, and Shen Yiyao still regards Shen Ran as her elder brother.
Whether the truth of the matter is really what Luo Huaiyuan said in the story, no one knows. Because of privacy issues like this comparison, it is impossible for a junior to ask an elder on his own initiative. Maybe because of this story made up by Luo Huaiyuan, Yan Yan was always in a strange mood, and she couldn't help but wonder, if it was true, was she against her mother's remarriage or not
The answer is actually no objection!
Maybe before getting married, in Yan Yan's view, life was always lived, and there was no difference between living alone and living with two. After getting married, I found out that it is better for a woman to be accompanied by someone who knows the cold and the heat, because you can't stop the loneliness in the dead of night.
In the half year that Luo Huaiyuan went to Fuzhou, Yan Yan had a particularly profound experience.
With this kind of thought in mind, seeing the two of them ignorant and ignorant and repressed in their hearts is especially unbearable. But this kind of question is something outsiders can't rush into. Maybe Shen Yiyao has no plans for that at all and just wants to live alone
Inevitably, she would use words to test things out. For example, in the chat between mother and daughter, Yan Yan would always say something to Shen Ran and ask Shen Yiyao how she was. Or ask Shen Yiyao with a curious attitude, why did Uncle Ran not marry a wife
This method is Luo Huaiyuan's bad idea, as the name suggests, it is called indirect prompting.
Many things have not been mentioned, so everyone will subconsciously ignore it. If you look at it in front of you, you can find that there are many, many unknown secrets hidden in it.
After her daughter mentioned it twice, intentionally or unintentionally, Shen Yiyao was also curious, yes, why didn't Brother Shen Ran get married? He is not too young, and he should have a descendant to inherit the incense.
In Shen Yiyao's mind, Shen Ran is an existence equivalent to Shen Ding. When she was a child, her two brothers were much older than her because of her young age. No one would play with her, and there would always be someone who would come to her spare time to practice martial arts. Play with her for a while, and that person is Shen Ran.
Shen Ranzhi was an older brother to Shen Yiyao, and this kind of relationship was established since childhood, so he couldn't help worrying about these things for him.
After all, the relationship between the two is different from ordinary people, so they are not as particular as ordinary men and women. In his spare time, Shen Ran would also visit Shen Yiyao, and the two would sit together to drink tea or play chess.
No one knew that Shen Yiyao once had a hobby, which was playing chess. In the early years, he was proficient in everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Learning these is just a way for boudoir girls to pass the time, and it is also a way for noble girls to nurture their temperament. If she said she liked it, Shen Yiyao really didn't like it to the extent that she liked it. The only thing she liked was playing chess, but unfortunately, no one at home would accompany her to play before she left the court. Her parents, brother, sister-in-law and sister-in-law didn't like this set, so Shen Yiyao liked it for a while and then threw it away.
Shen Ran was the only person who knew about this in Duke Zhen's mansion, because there was a time when Shen Ran played chess with Shen Yiyao, but after that, Shen Ran left the mansion to go to the border gate, and the matter was sealed.
After Shen Ran returned to Beijing this time, he and Shen Yiyao met again.
The two of them were sitting together talking about the past and they had mentioned it before, but it evoked Shen Yiyao's long-cherished memory, and also evoked her long-buried interest. Therefore, the two of them would occasionally put on the chessboard and play for two hours as they did many, many years ago. There are very few words in between, but it is not interesting.
Shen Ran is a silent person, when he is with Shen Yiyao, he seldom speaks out. Shen Yiyao is a more focused person, and if he really works hard, he doesn't care about talking. Therefore, the picture of the two playing chess is like a silent painting, only the hands are raised and moved, but nothing else is seen.
Today, Shen Yiyao's mind doesn't seem to be on the chessboard, and she also seems a little absent-minded when she makes her move.
She is not very good at chess, and has lost things for decades, and the person who played chess with her has changed a lot after these decades. The reason why this game of chess can continue is that the opponent keeps letting her go.
In the past, Shen Ran had to give Shen Yiyao a minute or two of thought, but today it was so obvious, but Shen Yiyao never noticed it, which was enough to show that her mind was not on the chessboard.
"Brother Shen Ran is coming back this time, do you have any plans to get married? You are not too young, so you should be thinking about inheriting the incense."
Shen Yiyao hesitated for a long time, but she still said these words, she deliberately made herself appear less deliberate, so that Shen Ran would not think too much.
Shen Ran, who looked down at the chessboard, didn't expect Shen Yiyao to mention this, and her rough fingers held a black chess piece for a long time before placing it on the chessboard.
He raised his head, glanced at her, and smiled nonchalantly, "Brother Chen Ran is so old now, how could there be a good woman willing to marry me, there is no hurry to inherit the incense, just let it go."
Shen Yiyao was stunned for a moment, some want to say that inheriting the incense does not necessarily need to marry a good woman. But she couldn't say this kind of statement, not because she felt insulted to the woman, but because she felt insulted to Shen Ran.
Shen Ran has stayed at the border for decades, and he is not too short compared to Shen Dong, but he has always abide by himself, discipline himself, and keep himself clean like an ascetic. Shen Yiyao knew all these things, because father and second brother talked about it more than once, and they looked worried and worried. For such a man, asking him to find a random woman just to pass on the incense always feels like an insult.
The topic could not go on, Shen Ran also seemed to concentrate on the chess game and didn't want to say more, Shen Yiyao hesitated for a while and didn't know what to say, she could only sigh, and looked down at the chess board.
It was a surprise to see that she had already lost the game. She was still struggling before, but Shen Ran lost a child just now, but she lost half of the country.
Shen Yiyao put down the chess piece in her hand and said with a smile, "Brother Shen Ran, your chess skills are getting better and better. Compared with you, Yao'er is ashamed of herself."
Shen Ran smiled bitterly, his mouth full of bitterness and unable to speak.
How can you not be proficient
In countless long nights, the most he has done is to set up a chess game, holding black in his left hand and white in his right hand, just like he did back then.
Too bad she never understands...
Shen Ran stood up and said, "Sister Yao, come here today, I still have something to do."
After saying that, the man strode away.
Shen Ran thought he could take it easy, but found that he still couldn't control himself.
No one understands why he decided to abandon everything and come back, just as many colleagues and brothers in the army said. Many people have left, you have stayed for decades, it is time to rest,
Should you take a break
No one knew why he came back, but it was an impulse, an irresistible impulse.
When I came back, it was nice to see her.
Just look at her like that, keep watching.
This was Shen Ran's plan at the beginning, and he still plans to do so now, but when she asked why she didn't marry a wife and why she didn't have a child, a feeling of sourness came from the bottom of her heart.
It's just that in the end, this is a middle-aged man who has experienced wind and frost. He may lose control for a while, but he will soon recover. Shen Ran turned around in the garden for a few times, then regained his usual composure, turned around and walked towards the residence, but he ran into someone head-on.
"His Royal Highness King Yun." Shen Ran saluted.
Luo Huaiyuan waved his hand, "You are the son of Uncle A Yan, and naturally you are also the elder of the Lone King, so don't be too polite." He looked curiously at where Shen Ran came from, and said with a smile, "Uncle Ran also came to visit the garden? The solitary king also has this intention, so why not travel? A Yan is pregnant and can't catch a cold, but this summer is too hot. Every afternoon, the solitary king will come to sit in the garden, first to enjoy the cool, and secondly Time passed."
Saying that, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Shen Ran couldn't refuse, and seeing that King Yun was sweating profusely, he couldn't bear it, so he nodded and followed him. On the other side was Xiao Anzi with a bucket and a fishing rod, and the three of them walked to the shade of the tree by the lake together.
Arriving at the ground, a gust of breeze blows, and it is suddenly cool.
Luo Huaiyuan sighed in admiration and went to his old seat to sit down. Xiao Anzi ordered another chair to be brought and sat beside him.
Luo Huaiyuan hung the bait on the hook familiarly, then swung the rod and fell into the water. Seeing Shen Ran sitting by the side doing nothing, he ordered Xiao Anzi to fetch another pair of fishing rods.
After taking the fishing rod, Luo Huaiyuan enthusiastically instructed Shen Ran how to use it, and soon Shen Ran's hook was launched.
"Ha, it's good. With Uncle Ran's help, I'll definitely gain a lot today. At that time, I'll give A Yan and the others a table full of fish feast."
Shen Ran smiled without making a sound.
The border area is vast and sparsely populated, and there are few lakes. He is not good at fishing, nor does he have the leisure to sit still for an afternoon just to fish. This King Yun is young, and his words and deeds are quite jumpy, but he didn't expect to have such a preference like an old man entering his twilight.
Soon, Luo Huaiyuan gave the answer.
"Pregnant women should eat more fish. Shrimp is fine, but crabs can't be eaten. It's a pity that Ayan can't use them. It's a pity."
"Your Highness has a heart."
Luo Huaiyuan smiled shyly.
"There's no way. My daughter-in-law was chased after all my hard work. How can I do it without a lot of heart? Since she promised to marry me, I want to be nice to her."
This King Yun's brain circuit is quite different from that of ordinary people, but Shen Ran did not miss the statement 'the daughter-in-law came after him'.
Shen Ran couldn't help but be a little curious. He knew the way the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion always behaved in the world. It stands to reason that as a prince, King Yun couldn't marry Yan Yan, but in the end he married him back without any obstacles. Shen Ran was far away at the border, so naturally he didn't know what was inside, but he thought there must be a reason.
Luo Huaiyuan was worthy of his talkative nature, and without waiting for Shen Ran to ask, he shamelessly began to describe his way of chasing his wife.
Since the two of them were still the size of buns, he had become interested in Yan Yan, and pursued them all the way, courting her mother, her cousin, and her younger brother, as long as the people around her worked hard. And the sun appears in front of her eyes to give her a sense of existence. People can't appear, but things appear. All in all, it is to make her remember him, remember him, and remember his intentions. There are endless ways to do anything.
Hearing that, Shen Ran was stunned for a moment. It turns out that a fair lady and a gentleman are so arrogant, and there is such a way of arrogance
Luo Huaiyuan patted his chest and said boldly: "Since you like it, you must grab her into his arms. Because I am convinced that no one can give her happiness except me!"
