And at last they dispersed.

Shen Youqing was stopped by the Lu family and went to the plum garden to stay for a while.

Lu's temperament is soft, and his words and deeds have the temperament of a dignified lady.

Shen Youqing suddenly wondered, are all the people in the Lu family the same, they all have a sense of intimacy, and Lu Yuan is the same.

There are many plum trees planted in the plum garden, and I don't know if it was because of the plum trees planted in this garden, or because the plum trees were planted that gave this name; However, in early spring and February, plum blossoms bloom on the branches, and the faint fragrance is quiet and peaceful, which is also in line with Lu's temperament.

"Mother, my brother is back."

Shen Youlan's voice came from afar.

Seeing that Shen Youqing was also there, he paused for a moment, "Four, the fourth sister is here?" ”

The Shen family does not have those messy rules in other houses, in the Shen family, the children do not need to call their biological mother aunt, but can call their mother openly, but probably Shen Youlan has scruples and is a little cautious in speaking.

"Really? Yu'er is back? ”

Lu Shi stood up excitedly and looked eagerly at the door, but forgot that they should go to the old lady to say goodbye as soon as possible......

Shen Youqing also stepped forward to stand behind her, and Lu said almost to himself: "Yu'er hasn't been home for a long time, and she hasn't been back for a long time......

Her brother was coming back, and Shen Youlan couldn't hide the joy in her heart, walking around the room, and she didn't sit down obediently until Lu Shi spoke.

"Lan'er, your fourth sister is still here, what does it look like."

The Lu family blamed her daughter, but her eyes were full of spoiling, and Shen Youqing was a little sad......

Shen Youlan had no choice but to sit down, "Mother, let's go to grandmother." ”

Lu Shi patted her hand and comforted her: "Your brother has just come back, he must go to greet his grandmother first, this is in line with the etiquette, you don't want to go, your fourth sister is also here, you can't be obedient." ”

It sounds like the Lu family thinks Shen Youlan is not well-behaved enough......

Shen Youqing remembered the scene where her eldest aunt chased her with a wicker, and then looked at Shen Youlan, and couldn't help but be embarrassed......

"Fourth sister, are you thirsty?" Shen Youlan asked, and before Shen Youqing could say anything, Shen Youlan had already gone to pour tea.

Shen Youqing looked at the Lu family, who was also absent-minded, and suddenly remembered the eldest brother, if it was the eldest brother, would the Pei family be looking forward to it like this, and if it was her, what would happen......

Lu Shi felt Shen Youqing's gaze and smiled at her gently, and Shen Youqing also smiled, but a little reluctantly.

It was almost noon, and Shen Yu finally returned.

Shen Youlan took a step faster and ran in front of Shen Yu before the Lu family: "Brother, you're back." ”

Shen Yu rubbed the broken hair on her forehead and let out a hearty laugh: "Lan'er seems to have grown a little taller." ”

Shen Youlan nodded proudly, she had indeed grown a lot. Lu Shi shouted to Shen Yu, and Shen Youlan let him go and told the maid to prepare tea.

"Mother."

Probably haven't seen him for a long time, the moment Lu saw his son, he shed tears, that emotion is maternal love, the maternal love that Shen Youqing has longed for since he was a child.

The mother and son exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Shen Youqing almost didn't feel any more than anything, until Shen Yu found another person in the house, and then turned his gaze to her: "This is ......"

"I just cared about talking to you, I forgot about the four girls, this is your fourth sister, do you remember?"

Lu wiped his tears and introduced to his son.

Shen Yu looked at her, and only felt that the girl in front of her was three points similar to her father, but between her eyebrows and eyes, she was more like her mother-in-law, but the girl had a light and bright smile on her face; I have the impression that there is indeed a doll following behind him and his eldest brother, more lively and cute than his two younger sisters, compared to the indifference of his mother-in-law, it seems that this smile is more memorable.

"Second brother, I remember you!"

Shen Youqing's bright smile infected the Lu family, and she looked at her with a smile and said, "The fourth girl has a really good memory. ”

"I remember you too, Fourth Sister." Shen Yu's voice was soft, but there was a sense of alienation from the first meeting in his tone.

The first time they met, even if they felt close, the brothers and sisters themselves didn't have much to talk about, especially their cousins, Shen Youqing sat with the Lu family for a while and then left on their own......

When he returned to Ning Yuan, Shen Youqing relaxed, limped to the bottom of the porch, sat down on the steps, frowned, and cursed a certain prince in his heart again, while gently rubbing his ankles.

Chu Jiu broke in with steady steps, and bumped into Shen Youqing's appearance at a glance, his face was a little embarrassed, but Shen Youqing didn't care.

"Miss, the old general has sent someone to bring you a letter."

"Really?" Hearing her grandfather's name, Shen Youqing was excited, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Chu Jiu directly.

Seeing such a fourth miss, Chu Jiu was really a little uncomfortable, in his impression, the fourth miss is not this feeling, but recently he found that the fourth miss is more and more different from the fourth miss in his impression: when she was a child, she had a perverse personality and was bold, and before returning to Beijing a few days ago, she felt that she was very indifferent, like a lady.

Now it seems that he does not seem to know her at all.

Shen Youqing almost snatched the letter from Chu Jiu's hand, and Chu Jiu was quickly kicked out.

Chu Jiu, who was pushed out of the door, was very hurt, and vaguely heard the sound of rustling from inside, and couldn't help but feel ridiculous, how much did these four young ladies hate the capital......

In the evening, the maid next to the old lady came over to invite Shen Youqing over, and the family had dinner together.

Shen Yu is back, and the happiest person is the old lady.

In a few days, it will be the old lady's birthday, and at that time, everyone should rush back to celebrate the birthday, and cousin Pei Ning will also come over, which also makes Shen Youqing's mood much happier.

During the banquet, Shen Yu kept talking to the old lady about all kinds of things he had seen and heard, which made the old lady laugh, and he was stunned to change from the side of the Lu family to his side.

Shen Youqing saw her in a blink of an eye, with sadness hidden in her eyes, and she was also infected for a while, so she fell silent together......

"I heard that the little prince of Yong'an County died on the way back to Beijing, what's going on, second brother, do you know?"

As soon as Shen Youlan finished speaking, she was slapped hard by Lu: "This girl, grandmother is talking to your second brother, what are you talking about?" And talk about this kind of thing! ”

When the old lady saw Shen Youlan's pouting grievance, she immediately played a round: "Is what the third girl said true?" ”

Shen Yu glanced at his mother and saw that her face was unwavering, so he said: "Yes, grandmother, when Xiao Shizi passed through Mingyue Mountain, he was robbed by bandits on the mountain, and after being rescued, he fell ill, and he never got better, and then he ...... The king of Yong'an brought the little prince back......"

As soon as these words were said, a little sadness appeared on everyone's faces, especially the old lady, who was dyed with a trace of sadness between her vicissitudes of life......

"I've hugged that kid."

The old lady sighed with emotion, and did not express her grief in front of a group of juniors, but only ordered: "If you have time, go to the palace of Yong'an County to have a look, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, and the old princess should not feel good." ”

The king of Yong'an County, Shen Youqing knows, a month ago, their family borrowed Dao Ningyuan City to return to Beijing from the degraded land, and their family also rested in the General's Mansion for two days, the little prince looked quiet and well-behaved at first glance, but in fact, when he played with a few little cousins, he was extremely excited and lively.

It's just that I didn't expect that now that child is gone forever......
