I don't know if it's because of the loss of eight years of memory, whenever I get along with Chen Ying, Chen Shao will always unconsciously treat her as a child.

In fact, in Chen Ying's memory, she didn't seem to have spent much time alone with Chen Shao when she was a child, and she really didn't know where Chen Shao's attitude came from, she could only think that this was a subconscious performance.

When the two entered the inner room, Chen Shao took out a verdant little jade bucket from the drawer of the bookcase, shook it at Chen Ying, and said in a harmonious voice: "This is what Daddy found in a small shop a few days ago, but it is an old thing from the previous dynasty, you can take it to be naughty." ”

Chen Ying had long heard from the Li family that Chen Shao was a master of identifying antiquities, especially jade, but he was busy with official business in the past, and this hobby was put on hold by him.

Now that he is idle at home and has nothing to do in his daily life, he picks up this interest again, and he has to go out every now and then, and he does not go far, but only walks around the market not far from his home. There are a few humble shops that specialize in old things, and he has a unique eye for finding good things from time to time.

This kind of wandering to pass the time, from Mrs. Xu to the Li family, is all agreed.

Instead of sitting bored at home, it is better to walk around outside, scatter your mind, just send more people to follow, and don't let him be bumped into.

At this moment, seeing Chen Shao take out this green jade bucket with great care, Chen Ying knew that this thing must be extraordinary, so he hurriedly took it with both hands and said with a smile: "Thank you, father." ”

When Chen Shao heard this, his dark and slender eyebrows were brought together in the center, and a thin layer was brought out: "Why does Ah Man always call Daddy his father?" Daddy is going to be annoyed. While making a gesture to grab the jade fight, he pretended to be a face: "If you are disobedient, you won't give this to Aman." ”

It's still a child's tone, with a bit of doting.

Chen Ying's heart softened inexplicably, and then it was slightly sour.

She can feel that Chen Shao really loves her daughter.

"I said something wrong, I should thank you Daddy." She said.

Seeing this, Chen Shao couldn't help laughing, reached out and rubbed the top of her hair, and said jokingly: "We are embarrassed." ”

Chen Ying was originally nothing, but when he said this, he was really embarrassed.

At this moment, she realized very truly that in addition to the world in her dreams and the two lives she had experienced, she was actually just a little girl who had only turned fourteen years old.

She has parents, and an older brother

They all love her.

A faint warm current flowed through his heart, and the smile on Chen Ying's face also bloomed, and he raised his head to look at Chen Shao.

Chen Shao was also looking at her, with a soft smile on his handsome face, and his eyes were full of love and pity.

Chen Ying felt as if she was wrapped in a layer of warm bubbles, and her body seemed to become lighter.

"Master, the medicine is ready." The curtain of the door was suddenly lifted, and Qiao'er's serious little face appeared by the door.

Chen Shao nodded, and said softly: "Come on, put it in front of the window to cool off." ”

Qiao'er left in response, Chen Shao turned to Chen Ying again, and said softly: "Ah Man will go back first, Daddy is going to take medicine." ”

He has always been reluctant to let people see him sick, and every time he takes medicine, he always avoids people.

Especially loved ones.

Chen Ying understood his mood very well.

As the head of the family, now he has almost become a drag on the second room, and this family is messed up because of him, and Chen Shao's psychological burden must be very heavy.

Even though he never showed himself to the public.

And the more this is the case, the more his forbearance will make people's hearts blocked.

Chen Ying did not disobey him, and said respectfully: "Daddy is so good to give birth and recuperate, and my daughter will go back to the room first." ”

Chen Shao smiled and said "hmm", accompanied her out of the house, stood on the steps, and watched her leave.

When he walked to the gate of the courtyard, Chen Ying quietly turned his head, but saw that Chen Shao had reached the end of the corridor at some point, and was looking down at something.

She paused and followed his line of sight.

What Chen Shao looked at was the half-worn green shirt spread on the ground.

The sunlight passed through the eaves, depicting his handsome face, pale and warm.

He half-bowed his head, his gaze stopped on the green shirt, as if he was caressing every stitch and fiber on it with his eyes, his expression was gentle, as if he had infinite attachment.

It was a very short moment.

When Chen Ying took a step, he had already turned his head, and when he saw that she was still not gone, he smiled.

"Come back, the sun is coming." He waved at her, his eyes were still bright, but those tender attachments were gone.

It's like a scene, it's just an illusion.

Chen Ying smiled back at him and turned to leave.

The wooden door was quietly closed, and a few vines hung down from the lintel, gently swaying in the summer breeze, and a few small purple flowers bloomed between the dense leaves.

There is a fine fragrance tossing and turning in the courtyard, rushing into the curtain, dyeing the sleeves of the robe, and not going to go.

Chen Shao sat on the lintel of the stool in his robe, looking at the old clothes spread flat under his feet, and in his lowered eyes, there were ripples slowly pushing away and dissipating.

After sitting quietly for a while, he sighed and got up and went back into the house.

The room was filled with a faint smell of medicine, and he picked up the medicine bowl on the table, and at the touch of his hand, there was a slight warmth.

His smile became bitter, he took the medicine bowl and drank it down, and then handed the empty bowl to Qiao'er next to him.

Qiao'er took the bowl, brought the clean white towel that had been prepared a long time ago, and said respectfully: "Master, please wipe it." ”

Chen Shaoxin took it, wiped the corners of his mouth, and paced around the house.

Qiao'er held the bowl and quietly retreated.

This room was not big, Chen Shao walked back and forth, but he did not feel bored, occasionally stopping to ponder for a moment, or picking up the book on the case and looking twice, or standing in front of the window and looking at the shadow of the tree for a while, and then pacing constantly, as if waiting for something.

After a while, the knock on the door suddenly sounded, and at the same time, there was also the calm voice of the chief steward Liu Baoshan: "Second master, the medicine from the hospital has been delivered." ”

Chen Shao's eyes shook, but his body didn't move, and he heard Qiao'er go to answer the door, and then there was a sound of footsteps, tapping and stepping, gradually approaching.

Chen Shao sat on the bamboo chair next to the desk, his hands on his knees, his eyes fixed on the door curtain, his body straight, and there was a faint expectation in his expression.

Liu Baoshan's figure soon appeared by the curtain, a child had already lifted the curtain, he bowed down and walked up, Qiao'er followed behind him, holding a long flat wooden box in both hands, and several letters were stacked on the box.

Liu Baoshan stepped forward to salute first, and said respectfully: "Report to the second master, this time the Guzhen Great Tonic Pill has a total of twenty pills, which was sent by the medicine boy from the Tai Hospital. As he spoke, he pointed back to the wooden box in Qiao'er's hand, and said with a smile: "There are a few letters from the second master in the concierge, and the small ones have also been brought." ”
