When Shi Ning saw the messy fruit trees, he explained:
"My aunt was a bit embarrassed when she was born, so she was placed in this relatively remote yard. After she got a little older, she didn't come back very often, but lived in a training camp, so she planted all the seeds inside and outside the yard. Fruit trees, when the fruit trees are ripe, my aunt will come back to pick them. Last year, my aunt caught up and picked a few peaches to eat."
"So even if it's very messy here, the Shi family still protects it, and very few people come here to play."
Xia Jinmian walked slowly under the fruit tree.
All the trees in winter had only dead branches. These fruit trees were so thick that she could hardly hold them by herself. The branches were all intertwined and intertwined, covering the entire courtyard.
I'm afraid that after the new leaves are sprouted, it will be difficult for the sun to shine in.
She asked, "How old are these fruit trees?"
"It should be more than forty years... I don't know too well."
Xia Jinmian looked at the ground that had been cleaned so clean that not a single leaf was left. She seemed to be able to imagine that when these fruit trees were still young seedlings, they were planted one by one by their young mother into the soil, watered, and then sat on the ground. Looking forward to watching the young saplings grow up on the steps...
Xia Jinmian felt a strange touch in his heart, and raised his hand to touch the old bark on the tree trunk.
At this time, Shi Ning's cell phone rang.
She took a look and immediately said: "Master Xia, let's go over, my mother's call is over."
On the way to the study, Xia Jinmian suddenly asked: "Sister Shi, have you ever considered revitalizing the Shi Clan?"
When Shi Ning heard this, he said in a helpless tone: "Of course I thought about it, but it's too difficult. It's not easy to keep the Shijia Guild Hall. It's all thanks to grandma."
Xia Jinmian thought about the situation of the Shi family.
After the Shi Clan was almost wiped out, only a few bloodlines were left behind.
And the blood that supports the Shi family is the president's wife, Shi Guanqin.
Shi Guanqin has four children.
The eldest daughter, Shi Chun, has already married Xia Guo through marriage and has become the current Queen Xia.
The second daughter, Shi Nian, has only twin daughters, Shi An and Shi Ning.
It's a pity that no matter how hard Shi An and Shi Ning try, they are only of above-average aptitude, far less than Shi Nian, let alone Shi Chun.
Shi An Shi Ning's father also died in a battle.
Now both of them are only sixth-level agents, and they look very ordinary in the family of warlords.
The third son, Lin Yi, follows the surname of the President.
It's a pity that Lin Yi, like Shi An Shi Ning's father, died in the same battle, leaving only one orphan, Lin Yunche, who is also the only heir to the President of the Empire.
The fourth daughter, Shiqing, is 35 years old.
Up to now, she is unmarried and has no children. She has lived in the frontier for a long time and rarely returns to the imperial capital.
Shi Guanqin worked hard to fight for the right to the surname "Shi" for his daughter, but unfortunately after Shi Guanqin, the Shi clan was defeated.
Presumably grandma was more or less unwilling in her heart.
Thinking of these, Xia Jinmian seemed to be able to empathize with the resentment.
As glorious as the Shi family was back then, the current aristocratic family is just as defeated.
She looked at Shi Ning, her eyes gradually deepened, and she made some decisions in her heart.
In the study, Xia Jinmian found that Huang Ke was also there.
Xia Jinmian and Shi Nian wanted to talk about something, Huang Ke walked out very consciously.
Shi Nian said to her: "His Royal Highness Huang Ke happened to be going to Hart State to do some business, so I entrusted him to take care of you and protect you along the way."
Xia Jinmian didn't refuse Shi Nian's kindness, she had plenty of ways to get rid of Huang Ke.
