Chapter 12：

Early in the morning on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Xiangyan accompanied Xia Rong to breakfast and then went to Li's residence. After the three of them got together, they drove to the suburban plum garden in a carriage. As the name suggests, the plum garden is full of plum trees, and it just so happens that the snow is heavy this year, so the plum blossoms in the garden are just right. Sitting in the carriage, Shen Xiangyan thought that it would be great if he went to this garden just to enjoy the scenery, but it's a pity that with these entertainments involved, even the best scenery can only be used as a foil.

The three of them arrived not too early or too late, but as soon as they got off the carriage, they saw a boy who was dressed up "magnificently" admonishing the servant who was following him. I don't know if I was frozen or scared.

When Shen Xiangyan saw that the young man was dressed so special, he took a few more glances. How to describe it, it was the kind of eagerness to wear gold, silver and jewelry all over his body. Not only did he wear three gold rings inlaid with gemstones, but even the hair crown on his head was shining golden. If this image is placed in modern times, it will be a glaring local tyrant dressed up, waiting for someone to steal it.

Li Dongsheng also saw that person, and his tone was not without sarcasm, and he said in a low voice, "That's Zhang Ningyu from the Zhang family in the east, the Zhang family is used to doing some shady business, and shoddy things are very common. I don't know if it's because I have done too many bad things. That master Zhang changed two wives and married an unknown number of concubines, but he just couldn't have a child. It's really impossible to take such a nephew back as a Son Yang, this person was born in a poor family, and he has never seen anything in the world. Once he entered the Zhang family, it is not like a sparrow turning into a phoenix, but if I say it, he is a mud that cannot support the wall."

After hearing this, Shen Xiangyan can be regarded as remembering this character. It is really hard to forget this wonderful aesthetic, and he can't forget it even if he wants to.

The three of them didn't delay any longer, they exchanged invitations with the young man waiting at the door, and someone led them in. Along the way, the plum blossoms here are indeed blooming well, Shen Xiangyan thought that when he went back, he would definitely fold one and put it in a vase with it in the house.

When he arrived at the place, Shen Xiangyan saw that Xia Rong's father, Xia Xueliang, was also there, so he went over respectfully to say hello to his father-in-law. Xia Xueliang was quite surprised to see him as a son-in-law, and he never thought of this person who thought his family was defeated. can appear here. Shen Xiangyan didn't care too much about the thoughts of this father-in-law, even if he really had some ideas, he could do nothing with him, so he left after seeing the ceremony.

After the whole scene, there were a lot of wine and wine, but Li Xiangming took him and Li Dongsheng to meet many old acquaintances. Although these people can be polite to Shen Xiangyan, not all of them are particularly warm-hearted. After all, he only has a perfume shop under his control now, and even if they produce a few bottles of novel perfumes, they will not be able to catch the eyes of these well-to-do people. .

Until the end of the day, before leaving, Shen Xiangyan didn't forget to break off a particularly good wintersweet and take it back.

When they got home, they went directly to the Begonia Courtyard. Shen Xiangyan handed the plum blossom to He Miao, and asked him to find a vase and put it in a vase for his wife to see. He didn't go to see Xia Rong immediately, but went to take a bath first. On the occasion just now, it was inevitable to invite a lot of people to play the piano and sing songs. This kind of occasion must have some rouge smell, he I felt extremely uncomfortable smelling it myself, so how could I go to see Xia Rong with the smell all over my body.

When Xia Rong saw He Miao came in holding a white glazed jade pot spring vase with winter plums in it, she knew that her husband had returned. She heard He Miao said that the plum blossom was specially brought back by her husband, and Xia Rong liked it very much. My husband was not at home all day, and Xia Rong was really bored by herself. I wanted to find a story book to read in the afternoon, but when I saw the image of my husband holding him and reading to him in my head, I was confused. Xia Rong was absent-minded all day long.

Xia Rong looked at the plum blossoms, and wanted to go find her husband right away, but when she entered the house, she found him taking a bath. Hearing the sound of water coming out, he remembered the matter that Xianggong dragged him to bathe him when he was drunk a few days ago, so he didn't want to find someone now, so he sat on the soft bed and prepared to wait for Xianggong to finish his bath.

When Shen Xiangyan came out after washing and changing his clothes, he saw Xia Rong leaning on the bed, his small body tucked into a ball, and fell asleep like that. Shen Xiangyan smiled at the corner of his mouth and didn't intend to wake him up, he was supposed to be waiting for him, but he didn't know why he fell asleep first, so he walked over with a light step, ready to hug him to bed.

Xia Rong, who was in a daze, felt someone approaching, and a familiar smell came. He seemed to be leaning in a familiar embrace, as if it was his husband. Shen Xiangyan saw him leaning in his arms and whispering to him as husband-in-law, but felt his heart was in a mess, and softly comforted him, "Well, it's me, my husband-in-law, little Rong'er, go on sleeping." Xia Rong, who was sleeping, heard a familiar voice, and then Leaning in this person's arms, he let himself fall asleep like this.

When Xia Rong woke up the next day, she found that she was sleeping on a bed instead of a couch, and vaguely remembered that her husband carried him up last night. Not only that, but now he is wrapping around his husband like an octopus. Xia Rong bit her lip, thinking whether to move her legs away from Xianggong's body, and was afraid that he would wake him up if he moved, so she was very entangled. Before it was all right, he would sleep with his arms around him at most, but now Not only was he hugging her with both hands, but even his legs were wrapped around her. I don't know if Xianggong will think his behavior is too frivolous when he wakes up.

A normal man couldn't help his husband moving around on his body early in the morning. Shen Xiangyan endured it for a while, but seeing that the person on him was still dishonest, he simply turned over and overwhelmed him, and kissed him hard for a while.

After a year, Xia Rong was already fifteen years old. When Shen Xiangyan turned over and got out of bed, he still thought that he could bear this kind of thing for another year at most. Looking at the dull-faced person kissed by him, Shen Xiangyan gently put on the clothes for him. pick up clothes. "Yesterday, I heard from brother Dongsheng that there will be a lantern festival on the fifteenth Lantern Festival night. Does Xia Rong want to go?"

Xia Rong came back to her senses, her big eyes blinked, full of anticipation, "Think, Mr. Xiang, will you take Rong'er there?"

"Since Rong'er wants to go so much, Rong'er should give me some benefits if my husband takes you there." Shen Xiangyan put his shoes on and asked with a smile. Originally, he wanted to take Rong'er. But seeing his appearance of being bullied by him, Shen Xiangyan couldn't help but want to continue teasing him.

Xia Rong thought for a while, and Xianggong seemed to like kissing him very much, so she raised her toes and quickly kissed Shen Xiangyan's chin, "The benefits you want... um..." Shen Xiangyan held his head with one hand after he finished speaking , then his mouth was gagged again, and his slippery tongue pushed in domineeringly, Xia Rong whimpered twice, and then thought of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day, so he relaxed and let him continue.

As soon as it got dark for the Lantern Festival, Shen Xiangyan led the excited Xia Rong out of the house. "Rong'er, there are too many people, you must hold my hand tightly, you know?"

Xia Rong looked at the two people's hands that were intertwined, with frowned eyebrows, and nodded in agreement, "Understood, my husband, please calm down, Rong'er will definitely not run around."

The two of them walked all the way, and saw all kinds of gadgets and snacks on the stalls on both sides, which was very lively. The two walked to a stall selling lanterns, and seeing Xia Rong staring at a delicate and cute rabbit lantern, Shen Xiangyan saw that he liked it, so he bought it for him. Xia Rong held the rabbit lantern in one hand, and smiled brightly while hugging his arm in the other. Shen Xiangyan smiled more tenderly seeing him happy.

After buying the rabbit lantern, Shen Xiangyan took Xiao Rong'er to eat a lot of roadside snacks, such as glutinous rice balls, small clove wontons, cold silver pan and so on. Although these folk snacks are not as exquisite as those in the house, they still have their own deliciousness. In short, Xia Rong eats with a happy face.
