Chapter 53：

Ye Zhixian originally wanted to hold a banquet at the mansion to welcome Prince Rong, but was declined by Prince Rong because he agreed to go to Shen Xiangyan's house. This indirectly showed Ye Zhixian that the relationship between the two was very important. He didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to bow and salute and send the two of them out of the mansion.

Shen Xiangyan led Murong Cheng all the way back to Shen's house, it was unavoidable to be watched by the common people on the way, and even many girls of the right age from various families looked at them from afar. But fortunately, these people were somewhat afraid of their current identities and did not dare to strike up a conversation, otherwise they would really be in trouble.

Because of this, both of them intentionally quickened their pace, but even so, due to the large crowd of onlookers on the road, when the two arrived at Shen's house, there was almost a banquet set up at the other end of the kitchen.

The servants at the door saw their master and Prince Rong coming back, so they hurried to the backyard to report to Zheng Jun. Xia Rong had already changed her clothes and waited. After hearing the boy's message, she hurried to the front yard. Seeing that Shen Xiangyan came back with a man in a black shirt, Xia Rong knew that this man must be Prince Rong. The other party was of high status, and Xia Rong was unavoidably nervous before he came. But when he saw someone, he might subconsciously know that his husband was here. Not only did Xia Rong not have stage fright, but she also performed well.

When Xia Rong and a group of servants were about to salute to Prince Rong, Murong Cheng took the first step to help him, "I think this is my sister-in-law, so don't be too polite. Brother Shen has saved my life, brother." The daughter-in-law is still pregnant, so just treat me as an ordinary guest." After speaking, he turned to Shen Xiangyan and said, "Before I have time to congratulate Brother Shen, I will soon be a father."

Hearing the prince's congratulations, Shen Xiangyan not only did not feel any sense of trepidation, but instead accepted it with pride. This is his most beloved husband, and there is also a child of the two of them in his stomach, so how could he not be proud.

Seeing that the prince is so easy to get along with, Xia Rong not only doesn't call himself "the king", but also is a little surprised to call himself "I" to them. She raises her eyes and sees Xiang Gong smiling at him gently, and the look in his eyes is full of comfort , Xia Rong felt relieved. Since Xianggong told him not to worry, then he didn't have to worry.

When Shen Xiangyan saw that Prince Rong was here, Xia Rong was still somewhat cautious, so he didn't insist on him being here as a company, patted his head, and asked He Miao to take the people back to the backyard to rest. Send someone to say that the food can be served at any time.

Looking at the time, it was almost time for dinner, so Shen Xiangyan ordered the kitchen to have food served. After a while, the table was filled with all kinds of dishes, many of which were improved by Shen Xiangyan combined with the meals he had eaten in various restaurants in his previous life, and after discussing with the kitchen in the house. It was nothing special in the past, but you can still feel a different flavor when you eat it carefully.

Murong Cheng grew up in the palace and had never eaten anything good, but when he ate this table of dishes prepared by the Shen family, he also noticed the difference. Many of the dishes were quite to his liking, so he did not hesitate to praise them.

Shen Xiangyan smiled and told Murong Cheng the recipe of some of the dishes, which were also developed to satisfy the snacks in his family. Although Feng Yuguo is ultimately based on the idea of ​​a gentleman staying away from the kitchen, Shen Xiangyan didn't think about it at all when he did it. Every time he saw Xia Rong eating happily, he was also filled with joy, so he didn't care at all. I don't mind discussing these kitchen matters with others, but fortunately Murong Cheng is not a person who sticks to small details.

The two ate and chatted, and after three glasses passed, Murong Cheng raised his glass and said frankly, "Brother Shen, my real name is actually Zhou Cheng. Murong is the surname of the master who taught me to ride and shoot. I had to hide it back then. Brother, don’t blame me. But I sincerely have friendship with Brother Shen, if you don’t mind, please call me Big Brother in private from now on.” At that time, he was rescued from the water by Shen Xiangyan, so it’s not hard to imagine that there must be people from all walks of life around Looking for his whereabouts, in order to deceive others, he had no choice but to pretend to be Murong Cheng, but after all, this was to deceive Shen Xiangyan, so he raised his glass now.

Zhou Naiguo's surname, ever since he knew Murong Cheng's identity, Shen Xiangyan knew that Murong Cheng's name must be just a pseudonym. So I wasn't too surprised to hear what Prince Rong said. Seeing Zhou Cheng's eyes full of sincerity, Shen Xiangyan responded without being pretentious after a quick thought, "Then I'll ask you, I've recognized you as a big brother. Come on, big brother. I respect you, little brother." As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

"Okay, okay, today you and I won't go home without getting drunk." Seeing that Shen Xiangyan was so happy, Zhou Cheng was even more happy in his heart, thinking that he had not misjudged the person, so he picked up the wine glass again like Shen Xiangyan, and drank happily Had a glass.

This is why Shen Xiangyan, a person with memories from his previous life, has lived in Furong Town, a place far away from the center of power, and has no intention of squeezing into the center of power, so when he knew that the other party was the prince, , and don't have much sense of class interests, that's why it's so easy to call the prince brothers and sisters.

But Shen Xiangyan is not stupid, if he hadn't seen that Zhou Cheng valued affection and righteousness, he was really trustworthy, he would definitely not get along with him like this. And no matter what, Shen Xiangyan's foundation here is not deep after all, if he doesn't rely on Prince Rong, the automatic backer who comes to his door, then he is really stupid.

Therefore, under the premise that both of them intend to make friends with each other, the banquet today had a very good atmosphere, and it didn't end until very late. Seeing that Zhou Cheng was also a little drunk, Shen Xiangyan suggested that the other party should rest in Shen's house for one night today, and we will talk about the rest tomorrow.

Prince Rong didn't talk politely to Shen Xiang, he really stayed in Shen's house for the night so he didn't mention it. Besides, after Shen Xiangyan arranged for Prince Rong and his party, he could finally go back to Haitang Courtyard to find Xia Rong.

Xia Rong had also been waiting in the house for her husband to come back, but she fell asleep unconsciously while waiting. When Shen Xiangyan entered the room, he saw Xia Rong leaning on a chair and falling asleep. He couldn't help but smiled and shook his head. Looking at Rong'er's drowsy face under the candlelight, he felt full of heart. A sense of happiness is about to overflow.

Shen Xiangyan took two steps forward, leaned over and picked him up, ready to put him back on the bed to sleep, but Xia Rong woke up just after he picked him up. Xia Rong stretched out her arms to wrap around Shen Xiangyan's neck with familiar movements, and said pleasantly, "Master, are you back?"

"If you don't come back, Mrs. Hou will be in a hurry." Even though Xia Rong woke up, Shen Xiangyan put her back on the bed.

Xia Rong was called out by Shen Xiangyan's Mrs. Hou Ye and finally remembered to ask what happened today. He has been worried since he heard the report from Qin Yue, and finally waited for Xianggong to come back. Asked carefully, he was really anxious to death.

This matter was considered over, so Shen Xiangyan didn't hide anything, and told the whole thing in detail. After hearing this for a while, Xia Rong was afraid, so many things happened without him knowing, so she tightened her grip on her husband's sleeve and said, "That's true for Ye Zhen, we didn't offend him before, that's all. Acting, you too, Mr. Xianggong, if you didn't meet the prince today, how could things go so smoothly."

Shen Xiangyan knew that Fulang was worried about him, so he kissed his side face and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not so easy to deal with, let alone so many people follow me, no matter what happens in Yezhi County You won't embarrass me too much in public."

What's more, if today's loss is taken without saying a word, not only Ye Zhen, but also other people who are eyeing the incense making recipe in his hand will think that Shen Xiangyan is easy to bully, if that is the case, he will really struggle. .

But today he won the title of Lord Marquis for nothing, and in the future, as long as he doesn't seek death himself, it will be much more convenient for him to act. He still remembered that there was still a peach branch in the magistrate's mansion. In the past, it was forced by Ye Zhixian not to touch him, but it will be hard to say in the future.

Xia Rong also thought that Shen Xiangyan's current status was not what it used to be, no matter how stupid Ye Zhen was, she would not come to trouble them, so she felt relieved a lot. But after thinking about what Xianggong said carefully, Xia Rong was still a little puzzled by Liu Laosan's matter, so she asked, "By the way, Xianggong, what happened to the perfume bottle in Liu Laosan's hand? Could it be a fake? Could it be that he really bought a fake product to frame it? It’s not right, if he dares to come, he will definitely not have problems with such a trivial matter. "

"Oh, this, then Liu Laosan really bought the perfume at Xiangzilai, but..." Shen Xiangyan said at the end, deliberately sold a lawsuit and didn't go any further.

"It's just what?" Xia Rong stopped when she saw that Xianggong had finished speaking halfway, and hurriedly tugged on Xianggong's sleeve and shook it.

Shen Xiangyan pointed to his face and said with a smile, "Rong'er, just give me a kiss and I will tell you what to do."

Xia Rong hesitated for a while, but still couldn't stand the curiosity, she closed her eyes and put her lips together, but Shen Xiangyan turned her head at this moment, Xia Rong felt that the touch was not right as soon as she kissed her, and opened her eyes to see It was Xianggong's lips that he kissed. Immediately, he was ashamed and annoyed, but it was too late to repent and retreat.

How could Shen Xiangyan let go of this little thing he brought to the door, without thinking too much, he stretched out his hand to grab the back of Xia Rong's head and deepened the kiss. He stuck out his tongue and licked his soft lips, just like every time before, so sweet, until he heard the cry of the person in his arms, Shen Xiangyan realized his conscience and let go of those soft lips.

When he finally let go of Xia Rong, what Shen Xiangyan saw was a face that blended youthfulness and temptation, and those eyes full of mist made people's hearts flutter. Shen Xiangyan stared scorchingly at Xia Rong's lips that had become even more pink and tender from the kiss just now, and it took him a long time to regain his sanity, pressed him into his arms, stroked his back, and comforted him Fu Lang, who hadn't recovered yet, also gave himself time to calm down.

Shen Xiangyan cleared his throat and continued, "Then Liu Laosan did indeed buy the perfume from our shop, which is true, but before he went to the shop, your husband and I noticed him, so that day When he went to the store, Shen An personally greeted him. Of course, the bottle of perfume he bought was specially prepared in advance, of course, there must be no logo of our shop inside the offal bottle. "

It was only then that Xia Rong suddenly realized that all of this was expected by Xianggong, so Liu Laosan was unlucky enough to meet Xianggong. Xia Rong moved in Shen Xiangyan's arms, trying to find a comfortable position to sit down, but suddenly felt something strange under her body. Xia Rong's heart was distressed and it was funny. She felt sorry for Xianggong, but he couldn't relieve it because he was worried about him. I do not know.

Thinking that it was always Xianggong who touched him and often teased him. Xia Rong suddenly had the thought of coming back from molesting, and when he thought of this, he stretched out his little hand to do something wrong on Shen Xiangyan. Shen Xiangyan's breathing quickened with the movements of Xia Rong's little hand, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed the little hand that was still messing around, and said helplessly, "Rong'er, are you going to suffocate me, Mr. Wang? I can only watch I can't eat it, I don't know how to feel sorry for my husband, and I still add fuel to the fire like this." After speaking, there was a bit of grievance in his tone.

Xia Rong also knew that Xianggong was suffering like this, so she pursed her lips in embarrassment for a long time, and finally said in a low voice with great determination, "If Xianggong is suffering, Rong'er can help you with her hands." Although the two I have done this kind of intimacy many times, but each time Xia Rong is immature and shy. Today is the first time that she took the initiative to say that she wants to be like her husband. Before he can react, she will die of embarrassment up.

The corners of Shen Xiangyan's mouth curled up, happy that the little thing in his arms could take the bait, but he adjusted his expression so that Xia Rong couldn't see his intentions, and said with a dignified look, "Is Mr. It's hard, but for the sake of Rong'er, my husband can bear it, it's okay." Saying this, there was a look of enduring pain in his brows.

Xia Rong saw that Xianggong endured such hard work, and it was inevitable that she felt guilty for her behavior just now. In the end, her distress for Xianggong prevailed, and she took the initiative to raise her head and kissed Xianggong on the lips, "It should be okay to be gentle." , Last time, nothing happened last time." When Xia Rong said this, Shen Xiangyan, who had a low voice, suspected that the two of them would not be able to hear them even if they were a little far away.

But Shen Xiangyan heard it anyway, so he pretended to be moved by Xia Rong's persuasion, and half-pushed, he was ready to eat tonight's big meal. I don't know that this big bad wolf has already thought of the little white rabbit in his arms. Watching the little white rabbit take the bait little by little, don't worry about the joy in his heart, that is, the little white rabbit treats him as a little one who needs to be taken care of by himself. lamb. In short, Xia Rong was eaten up again and again this night.

Looking at the tired little husband who was sleeping soundly in his arms, Shen Xiangyan ran down the hair of the man in his arms for a while, while thinking about things, since he now has the title of Lord Marquis, the current house can also be expanded up. It just so happens that the house next door to this house is also a courtyard with four entrances. Speaking of it, it is about the same size as their current house, and it happened to be vacant a few years ago. As long as you buy it yourself and do a little renovation, you can open up the walls connecting the two houses. That's fine too.

In fact, he had some thoughts before this matter, after all, after the little guy in Rong'er's stomach was born, there was an extra serious little master in the family. At that time, the milk baby will have to buy some servants around him, and in a few years, he will have to get a separate small yard for him. But at the beginning, Shen Xiangyan was only thinking about whether to change to a larger four-entry or five-entry courtyard. After all, if two four-entry courtyards were opened up, the mansion would be even bigger, but this time he had The title doesn't have to worry about this problem.

Another thing is whether he needs to give Zhou Cheng the formula he has mastered. After all, he has received a silver medal from the other party before, and that silver medal can be exchanged for one hundred thousand taels of silver in Kaiyuan Yinzhuang. Although he planned to return the silver medal to him if he had a chance to meet again, but today he knew that the other party was Prince Rong before he even mentioned it. Thinking about such a silver medal, it is not worth mentioning in the hands of Prince Rong, and it seems that Prince Rong really wants to make friends with him. If he returns him to Zhou Cheng himself, maybe the other party will turn against him .

After much deliberation, it is better to submit a prescription, which will not only stabilize his title, but also repay the favor of the royal family. After all, cannibals are soft-mouthed and short-handed. He returned a big gift, which would also make the person on the dragon chair feel a little more favorable towards him. Thinking of this, it is necessary to consider which recipe to use. After all, gunpowder, which is too old-fashioned, will definitely not work, and if he is asked to make gunpowder, he needs to repeatedly verify the ratio. After all, he only knows the raw materials and the approximate ratio. , and never really did. And the recipes that are too mediocre are not good, it is better not to give them.

Thinking of this, Shen Xiangyan fell asleep holding the soft little body in his arms, and didn't wake up until the next morning when Rong'er in his arms rolled over and woke him up. When Shen Xiangyan opened his eyes, he saw that his little husband seemed to be dreaming of something good, turning over and hugging the quilt, smiling sweetly while falling asleep, so he couldn't bear to wake him up. He himself was careful not to wake Xia Rong up, got out of bed, and was about to go to the study to write the last recipe he thought of last night. After thinking for a long time, he realized that he used this recipe for making mirrors, and this recipe for mirrors was not from his previous life. The common low-cost, but more luxurious method of making mirrors with silver powder.

In this way, the things made by this recipe can only be luxuries that can be used by the upper class. If used well, it will provide Zhou Cheng with a good way to make money, and it will not bring too much harm to Feng Yuguo. Influence, the more I thought about it, the more feasible it became, so I couldn't help but went to the study and wrote a letter, writing Fang Zi's matter and his thoughts into it.

Shen Xiangyan originally thought that Prince Rong would definitely stay in Furong Town for a few more days, but who knew that just after he finished writing this letter, he heard Qin Yue report that Prince Rong and his party were about to leave, so he came here to let him go out to meet the superior Once, Shen Xiangyan was startled, hurriedly packed a letter and rushed forward.
