Shen Shu took the two children to greet Xie Changning, and after waiting at the door for a while, he saw a carriage turn into the alley, and after walking for a while, he saw a second carriage appear behind.

Everyone present was stunned.

When Xie Changning left, he only brought a small servant to serve his daily life, and it stands to reason that a carriage is enough to come back, but now he has one more for some reason.

The reason why everyone is sure that the car is with Xie Changning is because the people in Xie Mansion live in the official house, not far behind the county office, this alley is relatively deep, and the official house is located in the innermost, and no other family will pass by here.

The wooden wheels ran over the bluestone-paved streets, and they walked slowly to the gate and stopped. The curtain on the car door was lifted, and Xie Changning bent down and got out of the car.

From Jian'an back to Quanzhou, the road was dusty, and the tired look on his face was undoubtedly revealed.

"Father!"

"Uncle!"

Sister Hui took Brother Zhen and wanted to step forward, but after taking two steps, she found that he suddenly didn't move, and when she turned her head, she saw Brother Zhen holding Shen Shu with her other hand, looking at her sideways.

"Mother?" said Sister Hui, puzzled.

Shen Shu stood in place, his expression was light, he let go of Brother Zhen'er's hand, and said to him, "Go ahead." ”

Brother Zhen looked at her, then at Sister Hui, and finally followed.

This little episode happened here, and on the other side, Aunt Zhou had already brought her twin siblings to greet her. Her face is still a little pale, and with the figure of the weak willow Fufeng, it looks even more pitiful.

The two children surrounded Xie Changning on the left and the right, both wearing festive red, and their small bodies were not much higher than his knees.

Xie Changning touched Sister Xian'er's head, and picked up Brother Yi'er, looking at him affectionately, but for some reason he seemed a little absent-minded.

He hugged Brother Yi and teased him twice, his eyes inadvertently looked forward, and the figures of Sister Hui and Brother Zhen fell into his eyes.

Two children, one tall and one short, held hands, and their eyes fell on him. Sister Hui looked a little stunned, but Brother Zhen smiled.

Xie Changning beckoned and let the two children pass.

Sister Hui subconsciously looked at Aunt Zhou beside Xie Changning, the other party lowered her eyebrows, looking docile, but the corners of her lips could be curved in a small arc.

Sister Hui knows what the other party is proud of, if she still doesn't know anything like in her previous life, she will definitely be angered by the other party. But this life is different, because she knows that soon the other party will not be happy, not only is she not sad, but she even smiled back, and then took Brother Zhen over.

At this moment, Xie Changning's concubine was by her side, her children were in her arms, and the smile on her face was finally a little more real.

The family over there was a harmonious family, and Shen Shu was like an outsider, standing not far away and watching quietly.

After a while, Xie Changning put down Brother Yi in his arms, turned around and walked towards the carriage behind.

Aunt Zhou next to her was not surprised when she saw this, she had been interested in the carriage behind her since she had just begun, but she didn't ask.

She frowned slightly, her eyes inadvertently fell on Sister Hui'er, and when she saw that the other party also happened to look over, the smile on her face always felt a little weird for some reason.

Before she could figure it out, she saw that Xie Changning had already lifted the curtain of the car door, and from the direction where she was, she happened to see a woman in a moon-white cardigan and a young man in a cyan robe sitting in the car.

I saw the woman bow her head and say a few words to the young man, who nodded a few times, got up and got out of the carriage, and then was almost hugged by Xie Chang.

After the teenager, the woman in the car also came out. At the age of about thirty, he was emaciated, and his skin exposed to the bright sun was a little frighteningly pale.

Traces of time can be vaguely seen on her face, but she is still a beauty, which shows how beautiful she was before.

When helping her down, Xie Changning's movements became more cautious.

Aunt Zhou didn't care much about this, and she could even be said to be relieved, because the other party's age was there, and she couldn't pose any threat to her. Before that, she was still worried that Xie Changning would bring a young and beautiful woman back, so she really had to worry.

But she didn't know that she was too early to be careful. Because her back was on, she never saw the expression on Xie Changning's face, which was unprecedented gentleness.

Xie Changning casually beckoned the maid who was following Aunt Zhou, and instructed the maid to carefully support the woman.

The woman thanked him, her voice sounding hoarse. She was supported by the maid, but with the other hand, she took the hand of the young man beside her and led him slowly forward.

Xie Changning always maintained a distance not far away, vaguely paying attention to the woman's situation.

Aunt Zhou walked over with her twin siblings and spoke to Xie Changning in a complaining tone, but her face was full of smiles, she said, "Uncle has a guest, why didn't you mention it in the letter before, I also let people clean up the guest room." ”

Xie Changning glanced at her and replied, "Arrange a few more people, and you can clean it up." Wait a minute, you will arrange this matter, and do your best to clean up the east wing. ”

Aunt Zhou was stunned when she heard this, and then responded with a smile, "I wrote it down." ”

The carriage stopped at the gate, not far from where Shen Shu was stationing, and while she was talking, the group walked in front of her.

Xie Changning's eyes were a little complicated when he looked at Shen Shu, and after looking at each other for a moment, he whispered to her, "I'm back." "Neither explained the woman's identity to Shen Shu, nor introduced Shen Shu to the woman.

When Shen Shu heard this, she nodded to indicate that she understood, and then her eyes moved to the woman, and the other party lowered her eyes slightly, but did not look at her. She looked down at the young man who was being led by the woman, and saw that the other party had a pair of dark eyes, and looked up at her slightly, his eyes full of curiosity.

This made Shen Shu feel a little strange. This is a teenager who looks like he is eleven or twelve years old, and he is still just a child in modern times, but in ancient times, he could already be included in the age of sensibility. There is a difference between men and women, but he looked at Shen Shu without hesitation, and his eyes were pure curiosity, not mixed with his superfluous feelings.

Shen Shu's gaze only stayed on him for a moment, and he suddenly lowered his head.

"Let's go. Xie Changning's voice sounded at the right time, and Shen Shu stopped thinking about it, nodded in response, turned around and prepared to enter the door.

Sister Hui took Brother Zhen to follow, and with the other hand to hold Shen Shu's hand, she only barely held a few fingers of her, and the strength of her hand was slightly greater.

Shen Shu lowered her head, and once again saw Sister Hui'er's worried look, she felt that Sister Hui must know this woman, and this woman, eight times out of ten, there is something hidden, but what it is, Shen Shu can't guess, and she doesn't have a clue, because the original owner knows too little about the Xie family's affairs, and she doesn't care after she comes here.

The group entered the door, passed through the front yard, and passed the weeping flower gate, Aunt Zhou took the twin siblings away first, and she was going to order someone to clean up the guest room.

Before arriving at the guest hall, Shen Shu was about to leave, but was stopped by Xie Changning, "I have to go to the yamen to see if there is anything wrong, the east chamber has not been cleaned up for the time being, and you need to take care of their mother and son before this." ”

When Shen Shu heard this, she glanced at him and replied in a low voice, "I thought you didn't want me to interfere." "After all, I didn't even introduce her to her just now.

Xie Changning said, "You are the housewife of the family, and it is your duty to entertain guests." ”

Shen Shu didn't know why she suddenly mentioned her duties, "Haven't these things been managed by Aunt Zhou all the time?"

Xie Changning frowned slightly, "Her identity is not suitable." ”

Hearing this, Shen Shu suddenly became curious about the identity of this woman. The inappropriateness in Xie Changning's mouth is just a euphemism, and the real meaning only refers to the fact that it cannot be put on the table. When the second elder of the Shen family came over before, Aunt Zhou took care of all the affairs of the family, although he explained in advance that Aunt Zhou would hand over the housekeeping to Shen Shu, but in the end it was over, why didn't he emphasize that Aunt Zhou's identity was inappropriate at that time?

Shen Shu thought about this, so she didn't answer immediately.

Xie Changning's brows furrowed even tighter, and he was about to say something, when he heard the woman's voice interject, "Shiheng, don't bother Madame, I'll just wait here with Jing'er." ”

Shen Shu thought that Xie Changning would insist, but who knew that he listened to the woman's words, only hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in response, "That's okay, if you have anything, just order the maid who waits." I'll be back as much as I can. ”

The woman replied, "Don't worry about me and Jing'er, business matters." ”

Xie Changning deliberately explained to the two maids who were waiting, and then turned around and left.

Because of talking to Xie Changning, the woman raised her head, and Shen Shu finally saw her face, this is undoubtedly a beauty, even if it is sickly, but for some reason, Shen Shu always feels an indescribable sense of familiarity in her eyes, as if she has seen it somewhere.

Shen Shu looked at this face, fell into deep thought, and rummaged through the memory of the original owner. Before he could get a result, he was interrupted by a woman's voice.

"Mrs. Xie, what is the matter?" the woman asked.

Shen Shu came back to her senses and shook her head, "It's okay, I just think you're a little familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen you." ”

When the woman heard this, a trace of complicated feelings flashed in her eyes, and then she showed a faint smile and denied, "I'm afraid Mrs. Xie is mistaken, this is the first time I've seen Mrs. Xie." ”

Shen Shu smiled back, "Probably." I see that Madame's face is pale, she should be unwell, so let's go sit down and rest. Although Shen Shu said that to Xie Changning before, he didn't really leave the guests behind, and after inviting the mother and son into the guest hall to sit down, he first asked the maid to make tea, and then called someone to go to the kitchen to prepare a few snacks to come over, and quietly instructed the best kind to fill the stomach.

It's only afternoon, and it's been a while since dinner. I don't know where the mother and son came from, but they can be regarded as tired from running around. If it was in modern times, Shen Shu would definitely ask people if they had eaten first, but the time of three meals a day is fixed for people here, and now the time is also a little embarrassing, Shen Shu thought about it and decided not to ask.

Before the dim sum came up, Shen Shu briefly chatted with the woman, mainly asking the other party's name and the child's name. It's a guest, and I can't even tell the name.

When the other party heard Shen Shu ask, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he quickly reined in. She sued Shen Shu that her name was Yu Yanqiu, and the child's surname was Cui Yijing.

After that, Shen Shu called her Mrs. Cui.

Soon the kitchen prepared snacks and sent them over, and after Yu Yanqiu thanked Shen Shu, he fed them to Cui Yijing.

Until now, Shen Shu hadn't heard a word from this child, and looking back on the previous situation, whether it was Xie Changning or Yu Yanqiu, they took too much care of this child, and really took care of him as a child. This made Shen Shu feel that this child's situation might be a little special. But if the other party doesn't say it, Shen Shu won't go to investigate.

It didn't take long for Xie Changning to come back and come directly to the guest hall.

Seeing him coming, Shen Shu offered to leave, but Xie Changning didn't stop her and let her go. On the way back to the East Courtyard, Shen Shu happened to hear the maid mention Aunt Zhou, and in an instant she figured out why she looked at Yu Yanqiu and felt familiar, because she looked a little similar to Aunt Zhou. After returning to the East Courtyard, when she saw Sister Hui and Brother Zhen, she somehow thought of Shen Yu again, and found that Yu Yanqiu seemed to look a little similar to Shen Yu in her memory.

Shen Shu's thoughts diverged, and when she thought of a certain point, her eyes suddenly widened.

No, the priorities are reversed, it's not that Yu Yanqiu looks like Aunt Zhou and Shen Yu, but that the two of them look like Yu Yanqiu!
