Chapter 357 Huo Yuan's Grandfather
When Shen Zhao is not at home, I always feel like something is missing. There are five people in the family, but now only four of them are sitting around the stove.
Even Xiao Yue'er and Xiao Yunyi said that they missed their uncle. Counting the days, Shen Zhao had been away to study for twenty days.
The workshop was too busy during the past twenty days, and Su Wanwan had no time to take the children to visit. Only when Shen Yuan went to the county town, she would ask him to bring some food over.
"Let's eat first. He will be back from his rest in a few days. You won't be busy in the future. I will take you to see him often."
Shen Yuan comforted her and said that he couldn't wait any longer.
I haven't eaten hotpot for a long time. According to my wife's idea, the Bai family's hotpot restaurant in the county should be opened in 20 days. However, Bai Shaofei was too picky and even wanted to order tables and chairs. So it was delayed for a few days and the restaurant had to open five days later.
Otherwise, he could still go to the county to satisfy his cravings.
But, well, it doesn’t seem fun to eat from this hotpot alone, not to mention that even if the food at Bai’s Hotpot Restaurant is delicious, the dishes are not as complete as those made by my wife.
That Trump fan is his favorite to eat.
The shabu-shabu hotpot is very unique. The two children cannot eat spicy food, but the two adults eat spicy food. After the meal, everyone is very satisfied.
Shen Yuan felt that this hotpot would definitely be a hit, and within two months, it would surely be popular throughout the Great Xia Dynasty.
He drank a little wine today and didn't talk much during the meal. Su Wanwan could see that he seemed to be worried.
But he was able to control himself and didn't drink too much.
Seeing that the meal was almost done, Su Wanwan asked Aunt Huang to clean up. Since Shen Zhao was not at home, Aunt Huang served him at home every day.
But Aunt Huang did not live or eat at home. She would go to the dormitory near the workshop after her masters had gone to bed.
Aunt Huang cleaned up the kitchen quickly and helped the two young masters take a bath. The mistress didn't need her to serve her much, so she waited until Xiao Yue'er fell asleep and then went back to the workshop on her own.
Su Wanwan made a bowl of sobering soup for Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan was not very drunk to begin with, and after drinking the bowl of soup, he became completely sober.
The couple still went to the space to take a shower and lay on the two-meter-wide bed in the space. Shen Yuan saw that his wife looked tired and thought about how hard she had been working recently, so he immediately asked her to lie down there and started to massage her.
First the shoulders and neck, then the waist, and finally the legs, and even the soles of the feet were massaged for acupoints.
Su Wanwan doesn't exercise much every day. After being busy for so many days, she felt sore all over. After she gave her a full body massage, she immediately felt much more relaxed.
"Wife, you've been working hard lately. If it doesn't work, let Fengshou help you with the accounts next month."
My daughter-in-law's account book is different from theirs. At first, I thought of hiring an accountant to do two accounts in case the government comes to check the accounts and collect taxes.
But later, the person in charge of taxation in the county government took a look at the account book and was able to understand it, so the matter was put aside for the time being.
"Fengshou is too young after all, let's buy an accountant to take care of the accounts."
Su Wanwan thought about it and realized that Fengshou was about the same age as Shen Zhao, only thirteen years old. No matter how talented he was, he still needed to be guided by a master.
The accounts she made were not difficult to understand. Anyone who had worked as an accountant would understand them at a glance. It was just that they might not be as fast as Fengshou in calculating with an abacus.
"Okay, let me take care of this."
Shen Yuan naturally agreed. He also didn't want his wife to work so hard in the future as there were too many account books.
After talking about the workshop, Shen Yuan thought about it and finally decided to tell his wife about his own affairs.
"Wife, I think my grandfather might be ill."
As he said this, there was a look of longing and worry in his eyes.
Su Wanwan paused, then immediately stood up and held his hand.
"Do you want to go see him?"
Shen Yuanhui held her hand but shook his head:
"I can't go see him. I promised him that I would never come back to Beijing, even if he... dies."
After saying this, he hugged his wife tightly, resting his chin on her shoulder. The man who used to be so strong and tall, now had red eyes, and the tears finally rolled around in his eyes for a few times without falling.
Su Wanwan also hugged him back tightly and even patted his back gently. She didn't ask any more questions and just gave him silent comfort.
After hugging for a long time, Shen Yuan's emotions seemed to calm down.
"Wife, you don't even ask?"
Seeing that his wife was just comforting him silently and didn't ask, Shen Yuan asked it himself.
"There's nothing to ask. It's normal to miss your family."
Su Wanwan smiled gently. She knew that he had been going to the county town frequently recently and must have found out something.
There was also Liu Qian and the man in black whom he met in the restaurant that day. The man in black must be someone he knew.
Having been in this era for so long, she also knew a little about Huo Yuan's identity.
After all, the Huo family is a more dazzling existence than the royal family in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
Huo Yuan’s grandfather should be the Grand Marshal Huo Qinglie, who spent his entire life in military service and supported three emperors to ascend the throne.
People may not know the emperor, but everyone knows the Grand Marshal.
Shen Yuan hugged Su Wanwan again. He was so lucky to have such a daughter-in-law.
"Wife, you are the one closest to me..."
After saying that, he kissed her lips so passionately as if he wanted to eat her into his stomach.
However, he did not make any extra movements. After the kiss, he asked Su Wanwan to bring the jade pendant over.
"You have been wearing this jade pendant recently. I think the Princess Protector of the Nation will arrive in the next few days."
Su Wanwan also looked at the jade pendant. It was exactly the same as Xiao Yue'er's jade pendant. She didn't believe it had nothing to do with the Princess Protector of the Nation.
Of course, it is also possible that her biological parents are modern people and the jade pendant was picked up.
Therefore, the jade pendant alone cannot prove that she has a real relationship with the Princess Protector of the Nation.
"You asked me to wear the jade pendant because you want me to have a real relationship with the Princess Protector of the Nation?"
Su Wanwan didn't really want to know about her own life experience, but seeing Shen Yuan's behavior, it seemed that he really wanted to get her involved with the Princess Protector of the Nation.
"What do you mean by really related? I doubt that you two are related."
Shen Yuan stroked Su Wanwan's hair.
"I found out that when the Ye family was exiled, the Protector of the Nation Princess was pregnant. As soon as she arrived at the place of exile, she gave birth to a baby girl prematurely. Because of the premature birth and the bumpy journey, the baby girl died before she was a hundred days old."
Su Wanwan was shocked.
"You said I might be the baby girl?"
Well, I remember what her grandmother said to her, when she was picked up, she was indeed less than a hundred days old and very thin. Fortunately, she was sent to the hospital in time and saved.
Could it be that the baby girl did not die and was brought to the modern era by the jade pendant?
It’s really possible!
"Whether it is or not, the jade pendant is in your hand, so you are."
Shen Yuan touched her head meaningfully.
