Chapter 235 Getting Ready (Part 2)
"Do I have to go to the northwest?" Zhou Heng was shocked and immediately refused: "No, I want to be with you -"!
Seeing the other two people next to him, he suddenly changed his words:
"Well, there are also my grandmother and the others. I can't bear to leave them and don't want to go to the northwest!"
After all, she was originally a spoiled young lady in her family. This should make sense, right?
Although Zhou Heng only said half a sentence just now, Shen Fu naturally heard what she meant. Although he was happy in his heart, he was not sure how the current situation would develop in the future. The main reason was that the situation on the emperor's side was unknown, and Ah It was a trivial matter for Heng to stay by her side, distracting herself. She was afraid that someone would accidentally discover her true identity. After all, although Chen Huishan did not recognize her in person at the time, now with Empress Jiang's participation, With more and more people involved, Shen Fu was still worried that someone might accidentally find out the clues.
Let Zhou Heng go to the northwest to escape temporarily. At the very least, the people there have never seen Zhou Heng and will never doubt her identity. Then I will let her settle down there comfortably, and there will be spring rain. It was better to have someone she was familiar with taking care of her than to stay in the small courtyard of the palace, and it would also free her from worries.
Shen Fu felt a little guilty about this and felt that he was a little selfish, but he still believed that this was the best way so far.
For this reason, after hearing that the housekeeper asked Chun Yu to set off early, this idea came to his mind. Of course, Zhou Heng had to agree to this in the end.
Shen Fu even thought about Zhou Heng's reaction in advance. Although rationally, he still hoped that she would agree happily, but now that he heard her reject without hesitation and said that she wanted to be with him, he felt even more excited. happy.
Because of this, after listening to Zhou Heng's words, Shen Fu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and he still persuaded her in a gentle voice:
"It's not that I have to go now. It's just that the situation is changing day by day. I'm afraid that one day it will suddenly take a turn for the worse. In a few days, it will be the end of the summer. The people at the palace are about to return to the palace. Those things the Queen Mother said, such as The possibility that the eldest prince will be appointed as heir apparent must be dealt with one by one. By then, the capital may no longer be at peace..."
Zhou Heng bit his lip and had nothing to say. After all, he was a weak girl and couldn't even ride a horse. If something happened, Shen Fu would be really troubled.
Just when she thought of leaving Shen Fu, she felt very insecure. After thinking about it, she could only murmur in a low voice: "Then, let's take a look first. If it doesn't work, I will..."
When Shen Fu saw that she had relaxed, even though he was extremely reluctant to send her away, there was nothing he could do about it, so he still said warmly:
"Okay, let's take a look first and then talk."
But he secretly made up his mind to give Chun Yu and his daughter a good explanation when the time comes, and it would be best to let Zhou Heng go with the escorting procession.
When Uncle He heard this, he looked at Zhou Heng who was biting his lip and said nothing, and suddenly laughed and added:
"After all, the soil and water in the northwest are poorer. It gets cold early and there are winds and sand. A Heng, a girl's family, should go back to Zhongnan Road. I don't think it will be safer there. Besides, the water and soil in Zhongnan Road can support people, but not over there. And what about Peach Blossom River? Everyone says that Peach Blossom River is a nest of beauties."
Shen Fu and Zhou Heng were both stunned by these words, but Shen Yi next to them thought this was a good idea:
"That's right, Ah Fu. Not to mention the wind and sand blowing from the northwest, the journey is still far away. You asked Ah Heng to run all the way to such a far place, and my aunt and the others couldn't even see her when they came back. How worrying! The Central South Road is right there. It's much better, and Uncle He and the others are taking care of her. If I really need to find her, I can quickly go to her in just a few days, which is much more convenient."
Zhou Heng thought about it and thought it was okay. At least he had been to Central South Road before, and with Uncle He and his wife here, the safety was guaranteed. But when he thought of leaving Shen Fu, he still felt reluctant to leave, so he smiled. A vague sentence:
"Then let's take a look first. Anyway, Uncle He will definitely leave first and ride a horse again. Then I will set off slowly by myself. I still have some time."
As soon as this was said, everyone had an idea, and the matter was roughly settled. After that, Uncle He and Shen Fu went to the outer courtyard to find the person sent from the northwest to give instructions. Shen Yi took Zhou Heng and sat down at the table happily. She took a pen and paper and started writing. She also told her to sharpen her ink well:
"This thing is very precious. I will write another copy to you later."
"What's written?" Zhou Heng leaned over to take a look curiously.
After reading two lines, I understood that what Shen Yi wrote was an ancient version of the parenting guide.
Although as the princess and the Marquis of Weiyuan, she does not have to do the raising of children herself, but as a mother, Shen Yi still cares about everything from the nutritional intake of the mother in the early stages of pregnancy to the food that can be fed to the child every month thereafter. I know it clearly, so now I want to write down some precautions for Aunt Peng, who is still in the early stages of pregnancy, and I can easily do it.
While Shen Yi was writing, she did not forget to tell Zhou Heng her parenting experience:
"Why is the eldest son the most noble? When parents are first-time parents, they have no idea how to raise a child. Therefore, they usually put the most effort into the first child, for fear that a single oversight will cause the child to suffer."
"When the second child is born, the first brother has already gained experience and is not panicking anymore, so he starts to feel lazy. If there is a third and fourth child later, what's more, poor people will have to pick up the clothes of the older brother and sister. Those who couldn't wear it, even our Ahua, children grow up quickly, and his brother didn't even wear many clothes at that time, so I let him pick them up and wear them. Anyway, he is not sensible at the moment, and he doesn't know how to wear them. Pick, haha."
And talking about her mother-in-law:
"Let's not care about anything else about the old lady. She really feels sorry for her two grandsons. Just for this reason, she even took out her private money and said that the young master of the Hou Mansion, the eldest is noble and the second is also a treasure. But we can't wrong him. When we grow up and become sensible, we should blame our parents for being unfair. So, the two boys in our family really do their own thing and we raise them both as babies."
"It just so happens that Ah Rong's clothes will be kept first. Ah Hua's little clothes in the past few years are all brand new. I will go to the house to get them later. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether it is a boy or a girl before the age of three. If Uncle He knows better My son just left and I couldn't make it in time. I'll take him with you when you go back."
"Don't worry, I'll save the best for you. When you and Ah Fu have children in the future -" Shen Yi, who was immersed in talking to herself, finally felt that she had spoken a little too early, and then Afraid that Zhou Heng would be disrespectful, he pretended to stop as if nothing had happened, looked at what he had written, then looked up at Zhou Heng and added:
"Anyway, you are a lucky person, and so is Ah Fu!"
Does it mean that one day he and Shen Fu will finally be able to have children? Zhou Heng suddenly felt a little hopeful, so much so that when he looked at Shen Yi's eyes that looked very similar to Shen Fu's, he couldn't help but smile and continued:
"I think so too!"
