Chapter 015: Returning to visit relatives in Cheng Mansion

 Shen Hong and Cheng Yurong were shocked and a little embarrassed when they heard what the servants were chatting about.

  He held a housewarming reception tonight, and he invited Shen Zhongsheng and a few people from the second room, but they excused themselves from coming because they had something to do.

  As a result, they turned around and held a wedding banquet, but they didn't invite the big room.

  "Hehehe..." Ruan Ruan, who was held in Aunt Zhou's arms, smiled and narrowed his eyes when he heard such funny news.

  Shen Qingqiu will definitely be pissed to death tonight. Without Shen Hong, the Hou Mansion will be nothing more than an empty shell.

  Shen Zhongsheng has no ability, and Shen Shaosheng is still just a scholar. Even if he is promoted to the imperial examination next year, he is still far from the number one scholar.

  "Miss Six, why are you smiling so happily?" Aunt Zhou lowered her head and saw the giggling Ruan Ruan. Little did she know that this little baby could understand what adults said.

  Shen Zhijie and Shen Zhicheng looked at each other, then turned to Butler Hu to find out about the situation in the palace. They couldn't help laughing when they thought of Shen Zhongsheng's humiliation and defeat.

  Seeing both young masters laughing, some servants also laughed.

  The laughter in the General's Mansion lasted until late at night.

  Shen Hong was so drunk that he sent away the last two distinguished guests before going back to his room to rest.

  Ruan Ruan had already fallen asleep in the wing next door. This was her baby's room, but it was particularly luxuriously decorated.

  The wet nurse slept on the imperial concubine's couch next to her, and she had to watch it at all hours.

  Cheng Yurong rested in the master bedroom early, got up quickly when she heard the noise, and helped Shen Hong to bed.

  "Look at you drinking so much, take off your clothes."

  "Yu Niang, believe me, I will protect you and the children..."

  "I will definitely..." He would risk his life to protect his family.

  "Okay, I believe you." Cheng Yurong held Shen Hong's face and kissed her gently.

  It had been three or four days since her confinement, and she and her husband had yet to have sex. She wanted to take the initiative tonight.

  "Yu Niang, I love you forever." Shen Hong vaguely felt his wife's enthusiasm and cooperated with her actions.

  The room was dimly lit and filled with the smell of happiness.

  ...

  In the suburbs of Beijing, a full moon hung in the night sky of a certain villa

  , without a single black cloud, accompanied by countless stars shining on the windowsill.

  Shen Zhiyu, who has not shown his face for almost ten days, does not seem to have changed much at first glance, but if you look closely at his figure, you can tell that he has lost about two laps of weight.

  Ever since he had several large acupuncture points in his Dantian opened by He Daozi and drank the antidote soup that he did not ask for from a miracle doctor every day, he would lose one or two pounds every day.

  Coupled with his healthy diet and two hours of exercise, he lost about three pounds.

  At this rate, it is estimated that it will be back to about 100 pounds in less than three months.

  Don't ask for help from the miracle doctor who said you should drink the detoxifying soup for five years. You can't stop taking the medicine just because your weight returns to normal.

  There are a lot of toxins in his body. If he wants to regain his magical power and martial arts, he can only insist on drinking medicine to remove the toxins.

  Shen Zhiyu knew that he couldn't be anxious, so he spent the rest of the day reading more military books and practicing calligraphy.

  He missed his sister's full-moon ceremony, but he would never miss the 100-day banquet.

  The housewarming party at the General's Mansion will be very lively tonight.

  Yesterday, Shen Zhiyu wrote two letters to his eldest brother Shen Zhiyuan and second brother Shen Zhiqing. He told them to hold on and not lose confidence. His parents and brothers have always supported them.

  ...

  The next morning, the General's Mansion

  left the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion where Shen Qiong was present. Ruan Ruan felt that the air was fresh and his breathing became lighter.

  She is only one month old, and as soon as she wakes up, she wants to leave the room and go around the house.     If it weren't for everyone's worries, she would have wanted to go shopping on the street.

  Being a baby is such a hassle, you can't do anything.

  On this day, officials take a rest.

  Shen Hong, who had only gone to court for two days, took Cheng Yurong and Ruan Ruan to the Cheng Mansion to visit relatives when he had time.

  The two brothers Shen Zhijie and Shen Zhicheng went to college to study. Anyway, they had met the Cheng family twice in the past few days, so they did not go to the Cheng Mansion to visit relatives this time.

  Cheng's Mansion is in the east of the city, less than two kilometers away from the General's Mansion.

  The two carriages arrived at Cheng Mansion in a quarter of an hour. Shen Hong helped Cheng Yurong get out of the car.

  Ruan Ruan was carried out of the car by Bai Zhi, staring at Cheng Mansion with his big eyes.

  This time, Aunt Zhou and the nanny also came with them, as well as six maids and six boys. After all, they had to stay in the Cheng Mansion for most of the day, so it would be safe to have a lot of people waiting on them.

  Mrs. Cheng, Mr. Cheng, their three sons, three daughters-in-law, and more than a dozen grandchildren stood at the door to greet them.

  Such a large formation shocked Ruan Ruan. I knew from reading that the Cheng family loved their daughter Cheng Yurong, but I didn't know it was to this extent.

  "Dad - mother -" Shen Hong and his wife shouted in unison, very sweetly.

  "Hee hee hee..." Ruan Ruan laughed out loud and treated it as shouting "Grandpa and grandma, uncle and aunt, cousin and cousin".

  "Hey, my good grandson, let grandma hold her." Mrs. Cheng ran over and held Ruan Ruan in her arms. She couldn't eat without seeing her granddaughter for a few days.

  After a month of getting along, we have already established a deep relationship.

  "You old woman, can you hold her? Be careful not to drop my precious granddaughter. Come on, let grandpa hold her."

  Mr. Cheng had only held Ruan Ruan three or four times, and he was so unimaginable.

  He supported his old wife and secretly touched Ruan Ruan's little hand. The flesh is so soft and soft that you can't get enough of it no matter how much you touch it.

  "Why can't I hold her? Even though Ruan Ruan weighs thirteen or four kilograms, I have built up my strength by holding her every day. I will hold her until she is seven or eight years old."

  Mrs. Cheng laughed and said Not angry.

  "You want to hold her until you are seven or eight years old? I don't believe it. You don't have the strength, so let me hold her!" Mr. Cheng got impatient and reached out to grab Ruan Ruan and hold him in his arms.

  "You old man, give me your granddaughter back."

  "No! I'm her grandfather too, why don't

  you give me a hug?" "Mom and dad, don't grab her, or you'll hurt Ruan Ruan." Uncle Cheng Yi walked quickly. Go and stop the two old men.

  "That's right, you are old enough. If you can't hold Ruan Ruan, it's safer to let me, your second uncle, hold him."

  Cheng Er followed closely, and while the three of them were pulling, he easily held Ruan Ruan in his arms. .

  "Second brother, you are really quick." Third uncle Cheng Shan shook his head, even though he also wanted to hug his niece.

  Although they had only met twice, he and his niece hit it off instantly, as if they were close friends in their previous life.

  Shen Hong and Cheng Yurong also smiled helplessly. It's not that the Cheng family has no granddaughters. On the contrary, there are five or six granddaughters, but their popularity is far less than half that of Ruan Ruan.

  "Eldest brother, second brother, third brother."

  "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and third sister-in-law." The two couples greeted each other together. They could not disrespect the three brothers and sisters-in-law just because Mr. Cheng and his wife loved Ruan Ruan.

  "Hello, aunt, hello, uncle--" More than a dozen juniors from the Cheng family called out and saluted in unison.

  Everyone entered the house one after another

  . Several maids and servants of the Shen family entered the house carrying gifts. For the eldest lady, there were ginseng, deer antler, Ganoderma lucidum, abalone, sea cucumber and shark's fin, as well as expensive fabrics and cakes.

  Ruan Ruan looked left and right, especially curious about the appearance of the Cheng Mansion.

  You must know that Mr. Cheng is an imperial teacher. He has taught two generations of emperors and princes.
