Chapter 44：

No matter how much Shen Xiangyan thought about it, it was useless, so he could only sigh softly in the end. It wasn't until this time that he realized how ridiculous it was to be self-righteous a few days ago and be satisfied just by being a businessman. If he had some rights in this dynasty, at least Xia Rong could be saved from this misery when encountering such a thing.

Since it was useless to think too much, Shen Xiangyan could only do his best to make arrangements. Three days later, Shen Xiangyan tied Xia Rong with a lotus-blue belt embroidered with dark patterns of orchid leaves with silver thread, while telling him about the past two days. According to the inquired news, "Madam Zhixian was the concubine daughter of the sixth-rank general judge Yao's family in Jingzhou before she left the cabinet. She is married to the seventh-rank Zhixian Ye Zhixian. This Yao family is considered to be a branch of Yao Shangshu's Yao family in the capital. It’s just that the relationship between the two generations is not as close as before.”

After all, marrying a wife from a high family and marrying a daughter from a low family, although the Yao family is related to Yao Shangshu's lineage in the capital, the magistrate's wife is the concubine daughter of the Tongpan family after all, so there is nothing wrong with marrying Ye Zhixian who was born in the imperial examination. Rong nodded to show that he was listening carefully.

After getting dressed, He Miao combed Xia Rong's hair, while Shen Xiangyan was flipping through Xia Rong's usual jewelry box, "Mrs. Magistrate has a man and a woman. It is said that she is a rare and magnanimous one. Ye Zhixian carried so much money." Many concubines, I didn't see the magistrate's wife turning her face, but she managed the house tightly. Therefore, Ye Zhixian also respects her a little bit. This time, the orchids you want to reward should be all It is in the magistrate's collection, and it is said that she loved orchids very much before she came out of the cabinet."

Although Shen Xiangyan talked about the generosity of the magistrate's wife, he was not moved at all in his heart. After searching through the jewelry box for a long time, he couldn't find the one he liked, and turned to He Xin who was still tidying the bedding. He ordered, "What about the jasper orchid hairpin that brother Li sent me a few days ago, take it out, today I don't want to appreciate orchids, Rong'er wears that just for the occasion."

"Slave and maidservant, go get them now." He Xin was in charge of tidying up Zhengjun's clothes and jewelry. He Xin put down his work when he heard that the young master asked for the hairpin, and took the key to open a locked small door. from the cabinet, took out a mahogany box and handed it to Shen Xiangyan.

Shen Xiangyan opened the mahogany box, and it was the orchid hairpin inside, and he inserted it for Xia Rong himself, and then he looked at it with satisfaction. Although Xia Rong also has pierced ears, her daily attire is not as feminine as some twins. They are all extremely clean, and basically don't wear other jewelry except for a hairpin.

In Shen Xiangyan's heart, Shuang'er is also a man, and he can't control others. If the person he lives with is dressed in a very feminine way, thinking about that scene, he will be a little incapable of accepting it. Fortunately, Xia Rong does not agree with him on this point. And together.

After all, today was going to a banquet. With this hairpin, Xia Rong's outfit was just right, neither too plain nor too gorgeous.

Shen Xiangyan checked the time to see that it was almost time, and then helped Xia Rong into the carriage. In the carriage, Shen Xiangyan pulled Xia Rong into his arms, let him sit on his lap, kissed Xia Rong's forehead, and asked again worriedly, "Let He Xin and He Miao follow you all the time, don't be alone." People are walking around. Xianggong has already said hello to the people of Li's family. If you have anything to do, you can find Aunt Li. If you can't do it, send someone to look for me in the front yard. When the time is almost up, I will find an excuse in advance to pick you up. "

Xia Rong rubbed her husband's chest, expressing that she had heard it all, and she was amused and touched, "Rong'er knows, it's like a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair that Xianggong said, and Rong'er is about to become a father , I am not a child anymore, I know how to take care of myself."

"Okay, okay, our family's Rong'er is an older child, so you don't have to worry about it." Shen Xiangyan rubbed Xia Rong's head, and it would be better for him to worry about it out of nothing.

Xia Rong dodged her husband's hand touching his head, her newly combed hair would be messed up if she rubbed it like this, what kind of big child is there, it's not the same as a child, Xia Rong's hand dishonestly shines on Shen Xiangyan's waist So I pinched it, and said dissatisfied, "Don't mess with my hair, sir, and you are the child."

God knows that since Xia Rong became pregnant, even though they still slept in the same bed together, Shen Xiangyan hadn't touched him for several months. Now in the narrow space of the carriage, the two of them were so close together, Xia Rong's little hand was pinching his waist, in Shen Xiangyan's opinion, it was simply groping, okay?

Soon the atmosphere between the two of them changed. Although Shen Xiangyan couldn't see anything on his face, Xia Rong, who was sitting on top of him, couldn't understand the change in him. She moved her body in embarrassment. The magistrate's house was not far from their home. , I will get off in a while.

Shen Xiangyan smiled wryly, and hugged the person who was still moving in his arms tightly, "Rong'er, if you keep twisting like this, I won't be able to bear it anymore. Be good, don't move, just let me hug you for a while and it will be fine."

Xia Rong also noticed that the things under her were getting worse and worse. After being reminded by her husband, she didn't dare to move, and honestly let him hold her.

When the carriage finally stopped and Shen Xiangyan got out of the carriage first, he couldn't tell anything strange at all. Although this place was not in front of his house, as usual, Shen Xiangyan didn't let Xia Rong step on the pedals to get off the car, and carried him off himself.

There were already guards waiting at the gate of the magistrate's mansion, and they all lowered their heads when they saw this scene. They also heard the rumors, knowing that Xiangzilai's Boss Shen dotes on this husband very much, and seeing it with their own eyes this time is believed to be true.

Moreover, Xiangzi's business is so good, and this person's wealth is indispensable without even thinking about it. The rare thing is that Boss Shen keeps himself clean. None of them.

Compared with the masters and young masters of other big families in Furong Town, which one didn't have a room early. Anyone who has only one or two concubines after marriage can be regarded as a rare good man. In this way, the person in front of me who only married one twin is simply special and cannot be special.

Naturally, Xia Rong almost became the envy of all the twin girls in Furong Town. Of course, although Shen Xiangyan had heard about these rumors, he hadn't paid attention to them at all, and Xia Rong didn't even know about them.

After passing the gate of the magistrate's mansion, Shen Xiangyan watched the little maid who led the way lead Xia Rong's master and servant away, and then he reluctantly put away his worries, turned around and followed the boy who led the way to the front yard to give them a group of men. The banquet is set up.

Leaving aside the side of the courtyard for the time being, the little maid carefully led Xia Rong into the backyard. The way Boss Shen stared at her just now seemed to poke holes in her body. Yes, how could she be careless now? , I'm afraid that Mrs. Shen will have something wrong on the road she is in charge of.

Tables and tables of banquets have already been set up in the backyard, but the food has not been served yet, and there are only some melon and fruit snacks on the table. It can be seen that the host has put his heart into it, and there are several pots of orchids of different varieties next to each table. In this way, you can enjoy the orchids while eating, and the guests can feel more comfortable.

The first thing Xia Rong came in was not to admire the orchids, but to find Aunt Li and Sister-in-law Li first. It just so happened that Mrs. Li had been keeping an eye on the entrance and saw him beckoning to him. Xia Rong also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw familiar people. Seeing that there was still a seat next to them, she knew it was reserved for him.

Xia Rong walked over quickly with He Xin and He Miao, and before she got to her place, she heard Mrs. Li dissatisfied, "What are you doing walking so fast, slow down, He Xin quickly help your master, he But it's precious to be pregnant, if something happens to Shen boy, he has to find me desperately."

After Xia Rong was pregnant, she got used to walking with her husband, and she didn't think it was a problem if she walked a little faster, but she blushed a little embarrassed when Aunt Li mentioned her husband, "Didn't I see that Aunt Li was in a hurry, Li Auntie, don't talk about me."

Mrs. Li held Xia Rong's hand, looked at his stomach, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "It's finally all right this time, and the Shen family can be considered to have a future. Oh, you will follow me today, don't worry, auntie." It was entrusted by your kid, but he promised to take you back intact."

"Aunt Li, you just laughed at me." Mrs. Li said this in front of so many people, and Xia Rong was really ashamed this time.

The ladies sitting around were also close to the Li family on weekdays, and many of them had business dealings with Shen Xiangyan. Although Xia Rong seldom participated in the gatherings between his wives, they had all heard of this young master of the Xia family, and they all laughed and laughed kindly after hearing it.

After everyone laughed, Mrs. Li followed Xia Rong to talk about parenting for a while. Mrs. Li gave birth to a daughter for Li Dongsheng in June last year. Rong listened very carefully.

Xia Rong didn't have any elders around him to talk to him about these things. No matter how good his husband took care of him, he was still inexperienced. Now that he finally met someone who was willing to tell him these things, he naturally listened carefully.

The atmosphere of their conversation was just right, Xia Rong suddenly felt that someone was staring at him, and as soon as he turned his head, he met Xia Rong who was sitting opposite. When he came, Xia Tian hadn't arrived yet, and he didn't know when he came, and the nanny who followed Xia Tian looked very familiar, and after looking carefully, he found that it was Yu Yu, who was beside Mrs. Xia. It seems that Mrs. Xia must be worried about Xia Tian, ​​which is why she let Aunt Yu, who has been serving her for so many years, follow Xia Tian.

Xia Rong noticed that what Xia Tian had been staring at seemed to be the orchid hairpin on his head, she frowned in confusion, this hairpin was won by her husband, so she kept staring at what she was doing. Fortunately, Nanny Yu who was on the side also noticed something was wrong with her young lady, and tugged at her sleeve, Xia Tian snorted and turned her head away from looking at him.
