"Is that your sister?" Lin Xin didn't know for sure, so he asked. The Shen family has a large number of people, and there are not a few who can call Shen Lou the eldest brother. I don't know if it is the Sanghu Princess Shen Qiuting.
Seeing the child in his arms stretching his neck and wanting to look out, Shen Lou frowned slightly, "Yes, her name is Yingying."
It really was her! Shen Yingying, who took the small character Qiuting when he was Jiji, was born with supernatural powers, and he was the number one archer in Dayong.
The feeling of an arrow piercing through the bone was still fresh in his memory. Lin Xin scratched his chest, knowing that she was Shen Yingying, his chest began to ache, "Then, I should call her..."
"Stay away from her!" Shen Lou roughly interrupted Lin Xin's inquiry, seeing his surprised face, he thought he was frightened, and immediately softened his tone, "She has a bad temper, don't play with her."
Now Lin Xin was even more puzzled. Hasn't this man always treasured his sister? How could she say such derogatory words as "bad temper" in front of people who just met her? Could it be that Shen Qiuting was so disgusted by Shen Lou when he was a child
Huanxinghai occupies a vast area, and the carriage did not stop all the way, and it took a long time to reach the residence of the eldest son—Fengjin.
There is water everywhere, and there are ferries everywhere, and the residences in Huanxinghai are all named after "Jin". In the residence of the prince, there are several maple trees that are over a hundred years old, with towering crowns. Now it is the season of falling leaves, and the red maple trees are all over the autumn garden, dyeing the water near the bank a crimson color, which is really beautiful.
There were a few mortals cleaning the courtyard, and when they saw the prince coming back, they immediately bowed and saluted. Apart from Shen Lou, the only immortals in Fengjin are the guard Huang Ge and the maid Zi Shu.
After leaving Lin Xin in Zishu's care, Shen Lou took Dong Shechuan away.
"Where did the prince go?" Lin Xin stood in the courtyard at a loss, staring at Zishu.
"When you come back from the house, you will naturally have to meet your father first. If it wasn't for you, the son would have passed by directly." Zishu spoke quickly and in a heavy tone, as if he was about to quarrel at any time.
Lin Xin was naturally not afraid of such a little girl, so he nodded obediently, picked up a broom taller than himself, and followed those mortals to sweep the fallen leaves.
"Hey..." Zishu couldn't stop him, hesitated for a moment, let go of his habitual hand on his waist, and bent down, "Your name is Ashin, right? My name is Zishu, from now on..."
"Well," Lin Xinxin bent his head and smiled, "May I call you Sister Zishu?" He was already good-looking, and because he slept soundly in the carriage, he looked like a tender carrot that had sucked water. , Juicy and painful.
"Of course, in the future... my sister will take care of you," swallowed the lesson, Zi Shu took Lin Xin's little hand, threw the broom aside, and his tone eased, "You are an attendant, not a servant. People, so you don't need to do the chores in this yard!"
As he spoke, he began to rummage through boxes and chests to find clothes for Lin Xin.
"Then what should I do?" Lin Xin tugged at the clothes on his body, his eyes darkened. The clothes, brocade robes and jade belts that were dug out of the cage were obviously things from Shen Lou's childhood. This maid actually directly dressed him in the prince's clothes, I don't know if the Shen family's rules are very loose, or there are other meanings.
Taking off the filial piety clothes and changing into brocade robes, the poor little fellow immediately became a noble son. Zi Shu looked at the little fellow who came out from behind the screen, and was very satisfied. He stretched out a finger and poked that smooth forehead, "Of course!" When you are useful."
After tidying up, Zishu took him to eat. After a day's journey, it was already sunset, Huang Ge followed the son to show his face in front of the Duke, and only Zi Shu and Lin Xin were left in Fengjin for dinner.
"... The son is cold-tempered, so don't bother him if you have nothing to do," Zi Shu took two bites of food, and roughly told him the rules in Huanxinghai, "One thing you need to remember is that the son should light a candle when he sleeps, and it must not be extinguished overnight. .If you enter the inner room at night, you must not extinguish the candle."
"Why?" Lin Xin asked suspiciously, he also slept with Shen Lou in his previous life, but he didn't know that he had a quirk of sleeping with candles, "Is your son afraid of the dark?"
"Shh, don't talk nonsense," Zi Shu picked up a piece of ribs and stuffed it into his mouth, "Don't ask nonsense if you shouldn't."
So really afraid of the dark! Lin Xin took a bite of the ribs in disbelief.
Shen Lou didn't know that his image was being slandered by a well-meaning maid, so he entered the main hall to report to his father, but saw Shen Qirui having a good conversation with a monk in white.
Plain clothes with arrow sleeves and white tiger fur around the neckline, they belong to the Zhong family in the Western Regions.
"I've met your son!" Seeing Shen Lou coming in, the monk immediately stood up and saluted.
Shen Lou raised his hand to return the salute, this person's face was unfamiliar, he had no impression of this face in the two lifetimes, he thought it was not an important person, so he turned his head to look at his father.
"This is the messenger of the Zhong family. Your Uncle Zhong asked me to drink." Shen Qirui said with a smile. He and Zhong Changye had been friends since childhood, and when he mentioned Su Guogong of the Western Regions in front of Shen Lou, he always called him "Your Uncle Zhong" .
"Moguishan's hundred-year-old wine is about to be unsealed, and I invite the Duke of the State to taste it." The messenger explained again.
Shen Qirui readily agreed when his friend invited him to drink. However, Shen Lou could hear something unusual, he clearly remembered that Mo Guishan's hundred-year-old wine was only opened in the year of Yingying and Ji.
"Father, my son also wants to go," Shen Lou interjected, "My son has not seen Youyu and Wumo for a long time."
Zhong Youyu and Zhong Wumo are twin sons of Patriarch Zhong Changye, who come to Huanxinghai to play almost every year.
"Okay, let's go together if you want." Shen Qirui readily agreed.
After having dinner with his father in Qiongjin, Shen Lou returned to Fengjin with heavy steps, and stopped at the end of the corridor.
"Shizi?" Huang Ge, who was following behind, asked aloud.
"Go and find out, who is that messenger from the Zhong family?" Shen Lou stood in the dimly lit place, his eyes dim.
"Yes." Huang Ge understood, bowed and left.
After dinner, Lin Xin refused Zishu's proposal to take him around, and sat obediently on the carpet in the inner room, looking out the door eagerly, like a milk dog waiting for its master to come back.
Zishu shook his head helplessly, told him not to mess with the things in the house, and left. As soon as the person left, Lin Xin turned over like a monkey, and rushed into the inner room to look around.
This is the place where Shen Lou grew up, and it was a novelty for him. The north is cold and cold, and the earth dragon is burning in the house, so you can walk barefoot. The low table is lit with cold incense, and it is quiet and far away, with a bit of the sweetness of grass and trees. Books are neatly placed on the shelves, and there are long swords hanging on the wall. I searched every corner, but I didn't find the marbles or nine chains that children should have.
"This person, was he so boring when he was a child?" Lin Xin curled his lips, jumped onto the big bed full of grass and trees and rolled over, "Hey, Shen Qingque, I slept in your bed!"
Hearing footsteps outside, Lin Xin got up in a jerk, jumped off the bed, and rolled back to the ground like a tiger.
When Shen Lou stepped into the room, he saw the little child sitting in the middle of the carpet with his arms around his knees, looking over with a pair of dark eyes.
Lin Xin's eyes are actually dark blue, which can't be seen normally, only when he is very close can he distinguish the lingering blue like the night sky. But Shen Lou saw it at a close distance, and could distinguish it at a glance.
The heavy mood dissipated instantly when he met these eyes, Shen Lou walked over and pulled the guy on the ground up, "Why are you sitting on the ground?"
"Wait for you," Lin Xin lowered his head, his non-socked toes slid gently on the carpet, "I don't know what to do, sister Zishu said you will tell me."
Shen Lou took a deep breath, "Do you know what an attendant does?"
Lin Xin shook his head blankly.
After being silent for a long time, it seemed that he had thought about it seriously. Shen Lou put his hands behind his back, put on a childish standing posture like Lin Xin, raised his chin slightly, "The weather is cold, please warm me up."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and went to take a bath. After taking two steps, he couldn't help but add, "This is the duty of an attendant."
Pooh! Lin Xin spat in his heart, he was afraid of the dark if he was afraid of the dark, what nonsense, bullying him has never seen the world! On the face, he looked blank, "Then, sister Zishu has warmed the bed too?"
"No, she's a girl." Shen Lou coughed lightly, and walked into the bathroom.
Hearing this, Lin Xin was satisfied, took off his outer robe in twos and twos, washed his hands and feet in the sink, and got into bed obediently.
When Shen Lou came out of the bath, he saw the brocade quilt bulging into a small ball, a pair of white and tender hands holding the corner of the quilt, only two shining eyes were exposed, and he said in a muffled voice, "My lord, it's already very hot. come in."
Shen Shizi, who was barefoot, staggered with his left foot on his right foot. The absurd nights of his previous life suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Lin Xin, who was in his twenties, looked at him with a smile on his face, "It's very hot inside, don't you want to come in?"
Now, Shen Lou, who is also a half-grown child, crawled crookedly onto the bed, got into the bed, and extinguished the candle with a snap of his fingers.
"Huh? Elder sister Zishu said that the candle can't be extinguished." Lin Xin pretended to be shocked and rubbed against Shen Lou's pillow.
"It's okay, with you here, there is no need to light the lamp." Shen Lou tucked the quilt up for him, without any intention of reminding the little attendant to cross the line.
Well, sure enough, I am afraid of the dark, so I don’t have to be afraid if someone sleeps with me. Lin Xin shook his feet under the quilt triumphantly, and found that Shen Qingque's weaknesses always made him feel happy. Borrowing the moonlight, staring at Shen Lou with a fatherly gaze, silently saying, don't be afraid, brother loves you.
