”You're still laughing, still laughing! I felt I was too ashamed to see anyone, sneaking out in the morning and not daring to go back to my room until now. I'm just afraid to see him. ” Originally, Chen Zhu had covered his face with his hands, but upon seeing that there was no one around, he sighed and said with great distress, ”What if we have a child? I had previously secretly heard from my mother that having children too early to support would be very troublesome. ”
How could there be a child by kissing? Err, Miss Zhu'er is only twelve years old, and probably doesn't know anything at all. This incident might even become a shadow for her. He Yuan was stunned. He tried his best to hold back his laughter as his face turned serious. Well, from where? This was a difficult problem!
”Sister Zhu, tell me, how did the lord give birth to the child?”
Seeing He Yuan smiling, Chen Zhu suddenly asked this kind of question in all seriousness. Stunned, she said, ”When I was young, I asked my mother. She said it was born here in the navel.”
”Haha …” He couldn't help but burst out laughing. Only after Chen Zhu pinched him fiercely did he stop laughing, and bent over to whisper to her: ”Earlier, I secretly heard from someone that after the marriage, the two of them had to lie down together naked to have a child. It's just kissing them doesn't mean they have a child.”
Chen Zhu's face was blushing as she listened seriously, whispering, ”Really? ”Then I'm relieved.” Saying that, he looked at He Yuan suspiciously, ”Where did you eavesdrop from? How come I didn't know? ”
”If you don't believe me, then go back to the manor and quietly ask your mother.” He Yuan's face turned red as he tried his best not to laugh. He turned around and said, ”Believe it or not!”
Chen Zhu truly believed him, muttering to himself, ”I knew it, how could he have children so easily. Last night, I was secretly thinking, if this is the case, why don't the kittens and dogs just play together and often talk to each other? Why don't I see them giving birth to a kitten and a dog the moment I touch them? ”
He Yuan couldn't hold back his laughter anymore and mumbled something to Chen Zhu. The little girl beside Shang Jie came in and said, ”Young madam, Second Young Madam, Madam, please go to the front and eat some incense in the Ancestral Hall. Then we'll wait for the Chen Mansion and the Uncle of the He Mansion to come and fetch the Young General's wife and Second Young Madam.”
Hearing Chen Xiang's words, the two of them hurriedly dressed up and went out. After dinner, they went to the ancestral hall to enjoy the incense. As expected, when they entered, they saw that the two brothers had come to pick them up.
The message was given to Madame Jiang in accordance with etiquette. When she saw He Yuan enter, she called out to him, ”It's only been three days since we last met, why do I feel like you've lost a lot of weight? Father, Mother and the rest of them are talking about it every day, afraid that you won't get used to it. After waiting for three days, he could finally return home. ”In a bit, tell the general's wife that you need to stay in the mansion for a few more days before sending it over.”
He Yuan nodded. He turned around and heard Old Mrs Jiang say, ”The food in the box is for newbies. Come over and eat something before you leave.”
The two couples ate a bit of food symbolically before He Yuan relayed what he had said to Shang Jie. Shang Jie smiled and said, ”You are still young, so of course you can't leave your mother. Since you are going back to the sect, you will naturally stay for a few days before coming back. Hua An and Hua Kuan will send you guys back. After a few days, just go and fetch you guys back.
When they heard this, Chen Zhu and his elder brother hurriedly thanked Shang Jie.
After waiting for Shang Xi to prepare the items for their return trip, Jiang Hua An and Jiang Hua Kuan then each took He Yuan and Chen Zhu, and followed their uncle back to their house.
Only then did He Yuan and his entourage arrive at the entrance of the Residence of He. He had long seen his elder sister bringing along He Nuo and He Jin to watch from the entrance.
When He Nuo and He Jin saw that the sedan had stopped, He Yuan stretched out his hand to lift the sedan curtain and stuck his head out. He rushed over and shouted, ”Sister, Sister!”
”Nogol, be careful of me!” He Yuan got off the palanquin and hugged his two younger brothers in his arms, unwilling to let go.
The elder sister had also come over and reached out to hug the three of them. However, she couldn't hug them and could only laugh. ”Sister Yuan, the old lady and the young lady are all talking about you. Come in quickly and let us meet again.”
Only then did He Yuan let go of He Nuo and He Jin and followed her through the door.
Jiang Huanan accompanied He Yuan in saluting the elders of the clan one by one. Old Granny He was extremely satisfied with Jiang Huanan. She smiled and said, ”Sister Yuan is still young. If there's anything you don't want to do, you have to take more responsibility.”
”Sister Yuan might be young, but she's not lacking in manners. My mother and grandmother both praise her.” Jiang Hua An smiled and praised He Yuan.
When everyone saw He Yuan looking so childish and standing less than his chest height, they were afraid that he would despise He Yuan. When they saw him looking at He Yuan with such pity in his eyes, they all secretly calmed down.
However, the crowd suddenly started to discuss what they had just heard today. Old Madam He said, ”In order to win the princess over, Zhou Kuangzheng and Tang Zhi Li actually ran over to our He Mansion to ask for her hand in marriage. They made such a ruckus that they lost face and ran into the palace, forcing the emperor to force the princess to marry them. Although Zhou Kuangzheng is a cunning person, our Master Shang Shu is not simple either. He has already proposed for the marriage between the North and the South to take place, and other than our princess marrying into the North, their princess from the North also married into the South Mountain, which is the true meaning of the two nations' eternal friendship. ”
Li You smiled and said, ”I heard that under Tang Zhi Li is a sister of the same mother, called Tang Zhi Qi. She has a straightforward personality and looks very good. If we can marry this princess and bring her here, that would be our honor. ”
”I've seen Tang Zhi Zun before, his appearance and character is extremely good.” He Yuan took over and described Tang Zhi Cai's appearance.
”It's a pity that the Crown Prince and Second Prince of our Nanchang Country have both made an imperial concubine, and the young prince is still young. Otherwise, asking to be the imperial concubine would have been a draw.”
Hearing the discussions of the crowd, the congratulatory speech recalled that Tang Zhi dressed up as a woman while Tang Zhi dressed up as a man and sat together in the sedan chair. He was stunned for a moment.
