I, the fox clan, Arita!

With a swipe of his pen, Yuan Xizhe wrote the three big characters of "Yanjiacun" flying like dragons and phoenixes on the rice paper. In addition to the words bestowed by the emperor, he still rewarded Lingshu with 100 taels of gold.

Of course, the characters are not simply taken home like this, but also sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, where craftsmen in the palace make plaques, and then an imperial envoy and guards are sent to Yanjia Village to promulgate the imperial decree and reward the plaques.

But these things are out of Lingshu's control, after the emperor ordered the eunuchs to take this calligraphy to be made, Lingshu thanked the emperor contentedly.

Yuan Xizhe chatted with Wei Xiuya and Ling Shu for a while, and then let them go out of the palace.

"Finally, I can relax for a while!"

Back home, Lingshu breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, first he hugged his chubby second son, and then kissed the two hairballs one by one.

"I really want to go back to Yanjia Village to have a look," Lingshu sighed, "now Jingyue Lake must be full of lotus flowers, and the wheat on the terraced fields should also be harvested. I have already written a letter about how to pick and make it, and I don’t know if they will do it.”

"As well as our Mirror Moon Villa, we couldn't live in it properly."

Wei Xiuya kissed Lingshu's lips, and said in a low voice, "Next year the emperor will change the Yuan, I will try my best to hand over the military power within a year, and then go back with you and your sons."

He said it easily, but Ling Shu was not very optimistic.

When the new emperor came to the throne, it was time for him to flex his muscles, so it might not be so easy to let Wei Xiuya go.

"But there should be nothing to worry about," Ling Shu said, "With the plaque written by the emperor himself, the status of Yanjia Village will become higher, and it will definitely be famous far and wide in the future, and the villagers in the village will live better and better!"

Wei Xiuya smiled and praised his wife: "This is all thanks to you."

"Anyway, it's my roots there too," Lingshu joked solemnly, "If one day you are dismissed by the emperor, we can still go home and farm."

"Still so naughty." Wei Xiuya smiled helplessly, and stretched out his hand to scratch Lingshu's nose.

"Anyway, I don't care," Lingshu pouted, "I want to take care of my son first, and stop working. I'll talk about it when they grow up."

"Okay, you can be Madam Wei at ease," Wei Xiuya's eyes were full of love, "I'll take care of you and your sons."

Ling Shu smiled happily, and slapped Wei Xiuya hard on the face.

After the matter of Cotton came to an end, Lingshu was really free, and took a few precious sons to play around the Marquis' mansion all day long.

Once Lingshu was really bored, so he put a small sun hat on his second son to cover a pair of small ears, then took the two cubs in his arms, and went to Shen Ziyue's mansion to look for Yuzhang.

Lingshu left early, before Yuzhang had time to go out to the "Yuwei" workshop, when he saw Lingshu, Yuzhang's eyes lit up and he laughed.

"Have you had breakfast?" Yuzhang asked Lingshu to sit down and said, "If I haven't eaten, I'll ask someone to cook something. I've been too busy recently, so I don't have time to look for you. I heard from Lord Jiu that the emperor wanted to Why did you refuse to seal you a county lord?"

Lingshu put down the baby in his arms and let him play for a while, and then took off the special small bag in front of him to let out two white fur balls.

"I just think that Wei Xiuya's current position is high enough, and I don't need to be named a county marquis to make things better." Naturally, Lingshu has nothing to worry about talking to his friends.

"Besides, this is not a icing on the cake, but a step forward. As the mother's family of the empress, the Wei family is too powerful. Now that the emperor has just ascended the throne, he still needs the support of the Wei family. It will be uncertain in the future." .”

"An Guo Gong's mansion is already a colossus, and Wei Xiuya has divided the mansion himself, and he has also made great achievements. The little uncle's family is an imperial merchant, rich as a country, and the queen's uncle's family. There is also a concubine who was once favored by the late emperor. In the palace, if you say something rebellious, unless the emperor is stupid, he will not be afraid of the Wei and Shen families."

Yuzhang's face was serious when he heard this, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Suddenly a male voice rang out: "Xiao Shu, the walls have ears."

As soon as Lingshu turned his head, he saw Shen Ziyue coming in wearing a plain robe.

Shen Ziyue's address to him seemed to have changed, he had never called him "Little Shu" before, why did he call him so affectionately this time?

"With this level of insight, you are worthy of Xiuya," Shen Ziyue sat down on the chair, far away from Lingshu and Yuzhang, and said, "Did you tell Xiuya these words?"

"No," Ling Shu shook his head, "He promised me that he would resign as soon as possible, so I don't think there is any need to remind him, and Wei Xiuya should have thought of it himself."

"It's time for our Shen family to make plans early." The more Shen Zi nodded, he stopped expressing his opinions on this matter, and he was not as intimate with Yuzhang as usual, but instead became interested in the milk baby beside him, with a look on his face. Gently squatting on the ground to talk to Xiao Zhizhi, "Little baby, what's your name? Whose child is it?"

The milk baby looked at Shen Ziyue expressionlessly, and blinked.

Lingshu hurriedly said: "Little uncle, this is my son! His name is Xiao Zhizhi, son, quickly call him uncle."

Then Xiao Zhizhi said in a childlike voice, "Hello, Uncle."

Shen Zi raised his eyebrows in surprise, and looked at Lingshu: "Your son? Are you sure? Who gave birth to you? Does Xiu Ya know? He will allow you to have children with others?!"

Lingshu: ...

Uncle, have you misunderstood something? !

"He's also Wei Xiuya's son," Ling Shu coughed lightly, and said, "Don't ask so many questions, anyway, he's my son and Wei Xiuya's, Wei Xiuya's precious, it's not what you want like that."

"Adopted?" Shen Zi Yue guessed.

Of course, two men can't have children together. Since they didn't have children with others, Shen Ziyue can only think that they were adopted.

Lingshu said with a guilty conscience: "You should just treat it as an adopted one. You don't like him calling you uncle, don't you..."

"When did you adopt?" Shen Ziyue was very surprised, "Why didn't you reveal anything about it?"

"Just... just a few days ago," Ling Shu felt even more guilty, "Wei Xiuya probably hasn't had time to tell you..."

Shen Ziyue temporarily accepted Lingshu's explanation, picked up the baby, and said with a smile: "What's not to like? Xiuyao has a future, and my uncle is naturally happy for him. Let's go, Xiao Zhizhi, uncle will send you a gift Here you go!"

Ling Shu opened his mouth, and his eyes fell on the second son's hat, which covered his two small ears. What should Shen Ziyue do if he saw it!

But seeing Shen Ziyue's enthusiastic appearance, he didn't want to spoil the fun, so he had to shut up. When he came here earlier, he told Xiao Zhizhi not to let others touch his hat. The servants in Shen's mansion would not dare to touch it. Naturally, it's not that impolite, so Lingshu is more at ease, but now——

The person holding Xiaozhizhi is Shen Ziyue, and he only hopes that Shen Ziyue will not be so bored to lift his hat.

Xiao Zhizhi was in Shen Ziyue's arms, stretched out her chubby little hands, pointed to her elder brother and younger brother who were squatting on a chair, and said in a soft voice, "I want you... They, too!"

"Hey - where are the two fox cubs?" Shen Ziyue suddenly laughed, "Are you and Xiu Ya addicted to raising foxes? Last time, Xiu Ya sent soldiers from the Beijing Guard Camp to chase that spirit fox, and there was a lot of trouble. The city is full of wind and rain, this time you still raise the fox cub with your own son?"

The fox cub is also his son!

Of course I have to keep it!

But Lingshu only dared to say this in his heart, with a smile on his face, he said a little embarrassedly: "Wei Xiuya just likes little foxes, and I can't help it."

"All right," Shen Ziyue said, "then take these two and go play with uncle!"

Shen Ziyue went out with Xiao Zhima in his arms, and the two white fur balls also jumped off the chair and followed him.

Shen Ziyue actually has no idea about children. After so many years of flirting, there are quite a few women who have been with him, but he didn't let them leave any seeds. He never thought of having a child of his own.

Originally, he was the youngest of the big family of Shen's family. All the brothers above him were already married, and there were a lot of children under his knees. During the holidays, the quarrel made Shen Zi even more headache.

He thought that there would be no shortage of successors to the Shen family's family business, and that the children he had born would not be short of successors. At worst, he would just adopt one in the future, so he kept having fun like this, and was not in a hurry to get married.

At this moment, Shen Ziyue carried the doll out, partly because the doll was really cute, and partly because it was to make room for Yuzhang and Lingshu to talk for a while.

The richer and richer Shen Zi was, he carried Xiao Zhizhi back to his room, and immediately ordered his servants to bring an ice basin, spread a cashmere blanket on the floor, bring all kinds of fruit snacks into the room as if free of charge, and all kinds of children to play with. All the toys I bought were bought on the street just now.

A fat doll and two fluffy little fox cubs are having fun on a wool blanket.

Shen Ziyue took off his shoes and sat cross-legged at the side, and asked Xiao Zhizhi with a smile, "Is it fun here, Uncle?"

The milk doll nodded seriously and said, "It's fun!"

"Then do you like uncle?" Shen Ziyue asked again.

Xiao Zhizhi stopped what he was doing, and tilted his head to think about it. After thinking for a long time, he said, "I, I, I don't know."

Shen Zi felt a little funny, this little doll was so cute, he kind of wanted to pinch Little Sesame's chubby face.

As soon as Shen Zi thought about it, he stretched out his hand, and Xiao Zhizhi's eyes widened in fright. He thought that Shen Zi was about to take off his hat, and he dodged to the side, but unexpectedly bumped into the hat, the small sun hat, and The bag fell off, revealing two pointed black ears.

Shen Ziyue:! ! !

Xiao Zhizhi covered her little ears with two fat little hands in a "swish", tears rolled in her eyes, and said in a crying voice: "Don't, don't look, my ears!"

On the cashmere blanket, a pure white fox cub arched its back warily and bared its teeth at Shen Zi, revealing its small pointed baby teeth.

On the other ear, there was a small ball with a black edge, with ignorant eyes, hesitated for a few seconds, climbed onto the second brother's lap, and stuck out its small tongue to lick the teardrops on the second brother's face.

Shen Ziyue froze on the spot.

The milk baby was still choking, but he didn't cry out, and covered his little ears sobbing, he looked so pitiful.

Countless thoughts flashed through Shen Ziyue's mind, what a smart person he is, thinking of Wei Xiuya's performance and what Lingshu said just now, he almost confirmed in his heart the origin of the little baby in front of him.

After a long time, Shen Ziyue gasped in shock, swallowed with difficulty, and recovered his voice.

"You... don't cry yet," Shen Zi said cautiously, "Can you tell me, your mother... no, who gave birth to you? No, it's not right, you... you know whose belly you came from Did it come out?"

Such a small baby probably wouldn't understand who gave birth to him, and he probably didn't have a mother, or in other words, the person who gave birth to him was not a woman, Shen Ziyue had no choice but to change the way of questioning.

"Yes, yes, little daddy!" The baby couldn't stop crying, but still answered Shen Ziyue's words word by word, and finally couldn't hold back his tears, "Wow - I want little daddy -"

Shen Ziyue sighed inwardly.

He rubbed his forehead again with a headache.

He couldn't even imagine that Lingshu was the fox that Wei Xiuya was chasing with great fanfare, the fox who had offered peonies to the late emperor, and he actually——even gave birth to Wei Xiuya's son!

A son with fox ears.

This kind of thing is simply incredible.

What is he going to do?

He should send the fox demon to the stake.

Non-my family, its heart must be different!

But the baby in front of him is so cute, can he kill his nephew's son with his own hands? !

Shen Ziyue didn't think he was a good person, but he really couldn't do such a thing of killing relatives.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, it's uncle's fault." Shen Zi got stronger and returned to normal in an instant, picked up the baby baby and coaxed him softly, "Uncle shouldn't have taken off your hat, I apologize to you Okay? Be good, uncle will take you to see your little daddy in a while, he is busy with other things and has no time to take care of you, uncle hasn't given you a gift yet, do you want it?"

The milk doll shook her head: "No, yes!"

"Can I give you this jade pendant?" Shen Ziyue took a jade pendant from his neck. The jade pendant was carved in the shape of a butterfly, with several hollowed-out patterns in it, and the whole body was crystal clear, a very rare blood red.

Children like bright colors. When the milk doll saw this jade pendant, she immediately attracted her attention. A pair of watery eyes stared at the blood jade butterfly without blinking.

Shen Zi smiled and asked, "Is it pretty?"

Xiao Zhizhi nodded vigorously.

Shen Ziyue hung the jade pendant around the baby's neck, and said, "It's yours now."

Xiao Zhizhi held the butterfly with her fat little hand, looked left and right, and found that there seemed to be light moving inside it, and was fascinated by this beautiful jade pendant for a while, and had long forgotten that her little ears were still exposed. Outside.

The more Shen Zi heaved a sigh of relief, he finally stopped crying.

His eyes fell on the small ears on the baby's head. Those black ears kept moving back and forth, making Shen Zi's heart itch more and more. Thinking about it, he then thought of the other two little white fox cubs.

Shen Ziyue looked left and right, and saw the pure white cub lying lazily on the cashmere blanket, squinting his eyes and yawning, as if the scene of baring his teeth at him just now was just an illusion of Shen Ziyue.

The other one was smaller, with a black border around its ears, and it was together with Xiao Zhima, one person and one fox, all blinking their big eyes curiously, staring at the blood jade butterfly.

This demeanor is really similar.

Shen Ziyue sighed in his heart.

and many more!

resemblance? ? ?

Shen Ziyue sat up straight all of a sudden, looked at this fox cub, and then at that one.

A terrible thought rose in my heart.

"Little Zhizhi..." Shen Zi said tremblingly, pointing at the little fox cub squinting at the side, and asked, "Who is it to you?"

The little ears on the top of the baby's head trembled, and said without looking back, "Brother!"

The pure white hairball rolled his eyes.

Stupid second brother.

Shen Zi felt more and more difficult to breathe.

He pointed to the one next to the baby's head again, and asked, "What about this one?"

Little Zhizhi said, "It's my brother!"

Shen Zi became more and more suffocated.

His nephews, there are, three, sons!

It's all... foxes.
