My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 289

While Shen Yuan and Cui Jianjia were chatting, Qin Bili had already changed into clean clothes and came out, and the blush on his face had not faded.

In order to make him feel more at ease, everyone pretended that nothing happened, and the three brothers and sisters played together on the kang again.

It was mainly the younger sister Qin Yian who was causing trouble, while Qin Bili was responsible for taking care of the youngest Wei Huairong.

Oddly enough, although they are not related by blood, Wei Huairong and Qin Bili, his "cheap" brother, are very attached to each other. They stick to his brother for almost the entire game. In the end, when they were tired of playing, they simply lay in each other's arms and fell asleep.

The wet nurse quickly took over the baby and carried him to the back room to sleep. Qin Bili was also called away by Qin He to play chess with Wei Yuan, his uncle who was only a few years older.

Shen Yuan's family of four had lunch at the Prince's Mansion before leaving. Cui Jianjia personally sent them to the door. Looking at the Qin family's carriage driving away, a warmth filled his heart.

Although Wei Chen is gone, she is not alone.

In the flying snow all over the sky, Cui Jianjia's turning back looked lonely, but more like an unbent wintersweet.

In the new year of the 27th year of Qianyuan, Shen Yuan's family spent the New Year's greetings at home. It was not until the eighth day of the first lunar month that they visited relatives and friends in Beijing and were able to enjoy leisurely time at home.

After seven or eight days like this, on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the Qin family received a banquet invitation from the Deng family of General Xuanwei's mansion, Princess Hetai's ancestral home, stating that Deng Yunheng would return to Beijing to take up a post, so he and his relatives and friends gather.

Deng Yunheng also played a great role in the "Jianmen Pass" battle, and was later promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Qingzhou garrison. This time he entered the capital for a high promotion.

It seems that the fourth-rank official is a normal person, but the status of the fourth-rank Beijing official and the fourth-rank official are completely different.

The official position that Deng Yunheng returned to Beijing to take over this time was the post of commander-in-chief of the cavalry army in the suburbs of Beijing, which was dismissed by Emperor Qianyuan during the dispute between King Qi and King Wei.

He commanded hundreds of thousands of troops and held a high and powerful position.

Deng Yunheng made a big deal out of this mistake.

Deng Yunheng's return to Beijing not only made the Deng family overjoyed, but also the Zhou family of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion felt deeply honored.

This uncle who had no choice but to be accepted at first has now transformed into a man who stands tall and above everyone in the Zhou family.Except for Mr. Zhou Laohou who dared to show off his elders' pedigree, the rest of the Zhou family felt short and awkward in front of him.

Qin He was also very happy. For this cousin who had fought side by side and had close friendships, the friendship between him and Deng Yunheng was naturally different from that of other members of the Deng family.

This time the other party came to Beijing for a long time, so he must bring his family with him. Shen Yuan found out that Deng Yunheng now had a son and three daughters. The first three legitimate children were all the children of Zhou Ying, the principal wife, and only the youngest daughter was a concubine.

After inquiring about the parentage of several children, she could prepare a meeting gift.

The eighteenth day of the first lunar month is the day when the Deng family invites guests to a banquet.

The Qin family went to Dafang's family of six, Qin Yan, Princess Hetai and his wife, plus Shen Yuan and his wife and Qin Bili's brother and sister. This lineup was enough to mobilize an army.

The old general Deng and the old lady have passed away many years ago. Now the head of the general's mansion is Deng Wei, the eldest man of the first house, and Deng Yunheng is the nephew of the third house.As soon as the Qin family got off the carriage, they saw the head of the family Deng Wei and the third master Deng Qian, with Deng Yunheng in front of the house, smiling at them.

This standard of hospitality is top-notch, which shows that the Deng family attaches great importance to this banquet.

This also proves that Deng Yunheng's status in the Deng family is very high.

The two families met separately at the door and exchanged friendly greetings.

"Zhong Ning, long time no see. How are you?"

When Deng Yunheng saw Qin He, he raised his hand and punched him in the chest, which was a meeting ceremony between warriors.

"Brother Heng has moved to such a high position, I am very happy and congratulated."

Qin He didn't hesitate to give in too much, and returned the salute with his fists.

"Oh...this is little Hanguang, he's grown so big now. Come on, call me, uncle."

Deng Yunheng picked up Qin Bili who was beside Shen Yuan and laughed loudly.

"Hanguang has met his third uncle, and his nephew is very polite."

Even if Qin Bili was held in the arms of the other party, he still did not forget to salute and call people politely.

Deng Yunheng stared at him, "Where did you learn this sour scholar look? Either way, it's either way. In the future, Hanguang will come to my uncle's house more often. My uncle will teach you how to ride a horse and archery, so that you can become a man who stands upright."

Qin Bili retorted solemnly: "Mr. He once said that military means to secure the country, and literature to govern the country. Uncle, you are a military general. Killing the enemy on the battlefield, protecting the family and the country is really manly. But civil servants govern the government and the public internally, and take care of the people's concerns externally. It is also what a gentleman does. Only by combining civil and military forces can a country achieve long-term peace and stability."

"Hahaha...well said! It turns out that a tiger father has no dog son. Your father was a prostitute at that time. Hanguang will definitely be better than his predecessor in the future. He will take the first prize later and show it to his uncle."

Deng Yunheng put the person down, stretched out his hand to rub Xiao Hanguang's head, and smiled heartily.

Qin Bili bowed again and said seriously: "Hanguang must study hard and strive to live up to the high expectations of his elders."

The elders of both families looked at Qin Bili, who was just seven years old, with loving expressions on their faces, with relief and pride in their eyes.

Only Shen Yuan was secretly worried, fearing that his son would be more serious and put too much pressure on himself.

Of course, she would not show it, but wanted to talk to her son in private after returning home.

It was just a joke used by elders to tease children. If she seriously ruined the atmosphere, it would be called a disappointment.
