When Lin Ruan returned to the top of Jingxiao Zhuangzi's mountain, the genius was bright.

Jumping off the back of the golden eagle, he quickly rubbed his face vigorously.

Although she was wrapped like a zongzi, she still choked on the night of riding the eagle in this winter.

Fei Fu and Luohua were not much better, and a layer of hoarfrost formed on their eyebrows.

The three masters and servants went down the mountain tremblingly, arrived at the door of Zhuangzi, and knocked on the door.

The old servant guarding the gate was stunned and didn't recognize the three zongzi.

Luohua's teeth chattered and he explained his identity to the old servant, who was startled and hurriedly opened the door and welcomed them in.

Lin Ruan went straight to the hot springs, and Fei Xu hurriedly went to instruct the mothers-in-law in Zhuangzi to prepare clothes and food.

After his whole body was immersed in the hot spring water, Lin Ruan felt that the blood in his body was flowing again.

After soaking in the hot springs and eating something to warm his stomach, Lin Ruan went back to his room and slept well.

When I woke up again, it was already afternoon.

The sky was overcast, as if it was going to snow.

Lin Ruan was worried that it would be inconvenient to travel due to heavy snowfall, so he decided to leave for Kyoto immediately, but when he was halfway there, there was a heavy snow in the sky.

Princess Shen looked at the snowflakes flying outside, and said with some concern: "Ah Ruan has lived in Zhuangzi for so many days, why hasn't he come back?" This snow doesn't look small, and if the snow closes the road, it will be inconvenient to go back to the city at that time. ”

Only King Shen knew about going to Northern Xinjiang, and Princess Shen always thought that Lin Ruan was on Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing.

King Shen Jun was also a little worried, the girl said that she would only go for a few days, and if she calculates the time, she should come back in these two days.

If there is heavy snow along the way, will there be any danger?

was worried, when I heard a small servant outside hurriedly running in and saying, "The princess, the princess, the princess is back." ”

King Shen quickly stood up and went outside to greet him.

Lin Ruan held an umbrella in his hand, strode towards King Shen Jun, and said with a smile: "Grandfather, I'm back." ”

King Shen looked at her carefully: "It's good to come back, you didn't encounter anything on the way, right?" Why do I see you've lost a lot of weight? I told you that there is no good outside at home, so I asked you not to go and you didn't listen, and after a while, let your grandmother open the warehouse and take ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum or something, and make up for you. ”

Lin Ruan chuckled: "Grandfather, I'm not thin, look at my face, is it round again?" ”

King Shen Jun saw that she was in a very good mood, and whispered: "You can rest assured after going to see it." ”

Lin Ruan smiled a little embarrassedly, "Everything is fine with him, except for the difficult conditions over there, everything else is fine." ”

King Shen snorted, "A manly man, you can't be afraid of hardship when you enter the barracks." ”

Princess Shen was pushed out by Yahuan, listened to half of it, and asked curiously: "What man, what barracks?" What are you muttering here when you grandparents don't come into the house? ”

Lin Ruan smiled and said, "Grandmother, I'm chatting with my grandfather, it's a little cold here, let's go into the house and talk." ”

Entering the house, Lin Ruan hurriedly asked, "Grandmother, how is the third cousin's family discussion?" ”

When she left Kyoto, the Shen family was sending the matchmaker to He's house.

Princess Shen said happily: "Eight or nine is not far from ten, it is estimated that it will be settled in the past two days, your second aunt is so happy that she can't close her mouth these days, and she walks with the wind." ”

Lin Ruan smiled: "Yuyan is worthy of the second aunt's happiness." ”

Princess Shen smiled and nodded, "Indeed, that's really a rare good girl." If it weren't for our family here, just with Ting Ye's stupid energy, how would he be worthy of others. ”

As for He Yuyan, after they inquired, they all liked it very much. unanimously felt that Shen Tingye was lucky to meet such a good girl.

Lin Ruan covered his mouth and smiled, "Grandmother, the third cousin is not bad, if you talk about him like that, he should be sad if he knows." ”

Princess Shen said happily: "With his heartless appearance, he can't hurt it." ”

Lin Ruan thought about Shen Tingye's big appearance, and couldn't laugh.

Lin Ruan had dinner at Shen's house, and before leaving, he pulled Mrs. Shen aside and mysteriously stuffed a painting scroll into Mrs. Shen's arms.

"Ah Ruan, what is this? Did you send me a painting? ”

Mrs. Shen San was a little confused.

Lin Ruan smiled and said, "Well, I specially prepared it for my aunt, you can take it back to the room and look at it later." ”

After confessing, Lin Ruan got into the carriage and returned to his princess's mansion.

Mrs. Shen San was confused and went back to the room with the scroll, and asked someone to light an extra lamp and bring it over, and then she started to open the scroll.

After the entire painting scroll was unfolded, Mrs. Shen San couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes.

This turned out to be a portrait of Shen Zhennan!

This portrait is painted very realistically, and every stripe on Shen Zhennan's face is clear, as if he is standing in front of him.

Mrs. Shen San stroked the person on the portrait, and her tears were like beads with broken threads.

She hadn't seen Shen Zhennan for several years, and Shen Zhennan was transferred from Yanping Pass to Northern Xinjiang by a holy decree, and this time it was five years.

At that time, their youngest child, Shen Tingyu, was only four years old, and now the children are nine years old, and they have forgotten everything what their father looks like.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen San hurriedly asked the two children to come over.

Shen Tingzheng and Shen Tingyu entered the house, and when they saw that Mrs. Shen's eyes were red, they asked with concern, "Mother, what's wrong?" Why are you crying? ”

Mrs. Shen San wiped her tears and beckoned the two children to the table, "Look at who this is?" ”

Shen Tingzheng recognized it at a glance: "This is my father!" ”

Shen Tingyu stared at the portrait for a while, feeling very unfamiliar, and really had no impression at all.

Seeing this, Mrs. Shen San felt even more sad, so she took Shen Tingyu's hand and said, "This is your father, think about it, but do you still have an impression?" ”

Shen Tingyu was about to shake his head, but his brother poked him in the back, so he changed his words: "Mother, I seem to remember, this is my father." ”

Mrs. Shen San glanced at the two children lovingly, "After five years, you are all older, and when your father comes back, I am afraid that I will not be able to recognize you." ”

Shen Tingzheng shook his head: "No, mother, no one will forget the mother and the children if the father forgets." Besides, my brother and I are both good-looking, and he will surely recognize us at a glance. ”

"Mother, did my father bring this portrait back?"

Mrs. Shen shook her head, "Your cousin gave it to me." ”

She still couldn't figure it out, how could Lin Ruan have a portrait of Shen Zhennan?

This uncle and nephew have never met.

Shen Tingzheng thought for a while and said, "It must have been sent back by my cousin who asked someone to draw it." ”

Mrs. Shen San thought that Xiao Jingchen was in northern Xinjiang, so she subconsciously thought that eighty percent of this portrait was painted by Lin Ruan and asked Xiao Jingchen to find someone to paint it.
