Chapter 257: Father and daughter reunite

On March 12, the Xiao family was escorted to Rongcheng by Zheng Sanye, took (can't see clearly) to the south of the Yangtze River, and then transferred to the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal to Tongzhou after arriving in Huguang, and then changed to a carriage to enter Beijing.

It was Zhou Baimu and Zhuji who came to pick them up.

From afar, Shen Muqing's eyes moistened.

It's been four years since I left Kyoto, and I'm finally able to see my father......

"Mu Qing, this is a happy thing!" The eldest lady frowned, and quickly smiled and comforted Shen Muqing, why didn't Pang Debao come to pick up people......

Shen Muqing nodded, turned around and hugged Brother Xing: "We're going home." As soon as the words fell, I saw Yueying running to the springboard with a "knock knock".

"Big girl!" Xiao Yueying's eldest maid was pale and pale, hurriedly saluted Shen Muqing, and chased after her skirt cautiously. Just didn't wait for her to take a few steps, Chang Hui picked Xiao Yue's image in his hand like a chicken.

There were people on the dock cheering.

"Fortunately, there is Master Chang." The eldest lady looked relieved.

"Didn't you say half a year would be fine?" Shen Muqing couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "I think, just don't make it too hard." ”

While speaking, Chang Hui had already taken Xiao Yueying ashore, and saw Zhuji curtsying to Xiao Yueying, squatting down and talking to Xiao Yueying with a very loving expression.

"Big lady, grandma, let's go down too!" Mingxia said, and helped Shen Muqing's hand.

The hosta helped the eldest wife.

The group disembarked. Zhou Baimu saluted Shen Muqing excitedly: "Baimu has seen my aunt and grandmother!" As he spoke, his eyes were wet.

I haven't seen him for a few years, Zhou Baimu has a restrained expression and a calm demeanor, and he has long lost his youthful appearance.

"How is the master?" Shen Muqing smiled with tears in her eyes.

"My lord's body is good!" Zhou Baimu choked slightly, "It's just thinking about my aunt and grandmother every day!" ”

Speaking of Shen Zhen, Shen Muqing was sad and burst into tears.

Zhu Ji had already led Xiao Yueying and walked over.

"Grandma, I'm looking forward to bringing you back!" Her eyes were red, and she could see that she had cried just now, "It's time for the house to be lively." ”

Shen Muqing smiled and nodded, and Zhuji saluted the eldest lady again: "The slave has seen the eldest lady!" ”

The eldest lady smiled and said, "Why don't you see Sa'er?" But what's going on in the court? ”

"Yes!" Zhuji smiled, "You have worked hard all the way, there is a lot of wind and dust on the dock, so let's go back to the inn first to rest and relieve our fatigue!" ”

The eldest lady listened to her heart.

Zhu Ji's answer was too concise and did not conform to common sense...... Thinking that Shen Muqing was still standing beside her, she said: "It is worthy of being a person who has served grandma, and he is really good at talking." He turned his head to look at Shen Muqing again, "I'm also a little tired, so it's better to go back to the inn to rest." ”

Shen Muqing's heart was like an arrow, thinking that Xiao Sa had just been on an errand, and there was no specific time for his return trip, so it was natural that he didn't come to pick him up, and he was afraid that the eldest lady would be tired, so he answered "yes", and the mother-in-law who followed him hurriedly put a footstool and waited for them to get into the car.

Xiao Yueying jumped and jumped and was reluctant to get into the car, pointing to the jujube red horse pulling the cart: "Riding a horse, riding a horse!" ”

Shen Muqing called her helplessly: "Yueying, come, be with your mother." ”

Xiao Yueying looked at the horse, and then at Shen Muqing.

"Come, Yueying, my mother will tell you a story!"

Xiao Yueying smiled and meekly let the magpie get into the car.

"Mother, sing." She got into the car and threw herself into Shen Muqing's arms, "Sing the baby to sleep!" ”

Shen Muqing smiled and hugged Xiao Yueying, touched her slightly wet sideburns, and motioned for the magpie to come over with a dry handkerchief, so that she could wipe Xiao Yueying's body: "Okay, let's sing a lullaby." ”

This is something she occasionally discovered when she was teaching Brother Xing prenatally, as long as she sings or tells stories, Xiao Yueying will sit quietly next to her.

Xiao Yueying

Sure enough, he snuggled up to Shen Muqing's side as usual. Shen Muqing wiped the sweat on her daughter's back while singing a lullaby to her in a low voice.

The car soon arrived at the inn in Tongzhou.

The Shen family had already set up a small courtyard, everyone freshened up, and the meal was on the table.

Shen Muqing was worried about going home early, and after eating, he wanted to hurry.

"Grandma should rest for half a day, and let's go again tomorrow." Zhu Ji persuaded, "At this time, there is no inn to stop at along the way, so you can't stay in the middle of the way!" ”

Others don't know Xiao Sa's temperament, but mothers don't know yet. Xiao Sa knew that Shen Muqing was coming, and he would definitely find a way to pick up people in Tongzhou. Now that no one came, Zhuji replied vaguely, and the eldest lady was secretly anxious. Thinking that Baimu and Zhuji are all members of the Shen family, since they don't answer, they are afraid that they will tell Shen Muqing in private what they do, so it is better to rush back to see Shen Zhen as soon as possible and then make plans. Hearing Shen Muqing say that she wanted to go back early, she naturally agreed.

"Just listen to grandma, let's go now!" The eldest lady stood up and said, "Go back to Kyoto overnight...... Lest the in-laws look forward to it again and again! ”

Since the two masters have decided, although Zhuji disagreed, he didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly went to the outer courtyard to inform Zhou Baimu, Shen Muqing and the eldest lady finished drinking tea, and everyone got into the carriage again and went to Kyoto overnight.

Time seems to have stood still, the walls of Kyoto are still tall, and the people entering and exiting the gates are still crowded.

Shen Muqing lifted the curtain and looked at the green branches and leaves on the official road, and his mood was as bright as this bud.

She hugged Xiao Yueying and looked out: "Yueying, it's about to be your grandfather's house." ”

Even though Yueying is in good spirits, she is a child after all, and after a day and a night's journey, her demeanor is tired, and when she sees that it is coming, she is in good spirits.

(can't see clearly) looked at a smile, touched his daughter's head, and looked back at the eldest lady: "You still can't see clearly"

The eldest lady couldn't hide her tiredness, but the Kyoto gate was in sight, and her spirits were lifted: "It's okay!" Let's get into town! ”

Shen Muqing smiled and nodded, hugged Brother Xing, who was still sleeping, and was led into the city by Zhou Baimu.

The carriage moved forward slowly, the magpie and other little maids who came to Kyoto for the first time couldn't help but pull the curtain and look out, the eldest lady leaned on the pillow and closed her eyes to recuperate, thinking about how to ask Xiao Sa when she saw Shen Zhen later.

After walking for a long time, the carriage finally stopped.

Shi Jingshu and Ren Xiang stood at the door to greet them.

When everyone meets, they all feel like they are in a different world.

Especially Shi Jingshu, her belly is slightly bulging, her expression is a little shy, like a little girl, where is there still half of the arrogant appearance in the past......

Shen Muqing looked happy for her.

Only those who have no resentment in their hearts can relax.

"Sister Shi!" Shen Muqing looked her up and down, revealing a big smile.

Shi Jingshu's face turned even redder, and she stepped forward to greet the eldest lady, and the eldest lady hurriedly carried her: "You are a person with a double body, don't be so polite." Looking at Ren Xiang with a smile again, "They are all people who are about to become fathers!" ”

Ren Xiang was also a little embarrassed, stepped forward to salute the eldest lady and Shen Muqing, and squatted to look at Yueying who was looking around: "You are Yueying!" ”

Xiao Yueying couldn't help but look at her mother.

"This is your uncle." Shen Muqing bowed his head and said to Xiao Yueying, "How did I teach you when you came." ”

Xiao Yueying opened her big eyes that were as clear as water and shouted "Uncle".

Shen Muqing pointed at Shi Jingshu again: "This is your aunt." ”

Xiao Yueying called "Auntie" again, not timid at all, the couple looked like it, Ren Xiang hugged Yueying, and looked at Brother Xing in Mingxia's arms: "This is small, right?" ”

Shen Muqing nodded and reported the child over to the two of them.

"It's so pretty." Shi Jingshu looked at Brother Xing, "But it looks a little more like you." ”

The older Brother Xing gets, the more he looks like the Shen family.

Shen Muqing smiled and nodded: "My daughter is a little more like Xiao Sa, and my son is a little more like mine." ”

"yes!" The eldest lady came over and touched Brother Xing's head, "Xiao Sa hasn't seen it yet!" I don't know how happy I would be if I saw it. Then she saw Ren Xiang's expression slightly abrupt: "Come into the house!" Let's get inside! What a thing to stand here and talk! ”

Shi Jingshu also helped on the side: "The master is still waiting for his granddaughter and grandson to kowtow to his old man in the study!" ”

Shen Muqing was also anxious to see Shen Zhen, and suddenly walked forward.

Walking to the second gate, Aunt Chen greeted her surrounded by Tian's mother and a few maids.

"Mrs. in-laws, aunt and grandmother, I can look forward to you!" She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, looking excited about the reunion, "Dashe went to Guozijian early in the morning, and I knew that you would come back today, so I took a day off." As he spoke, he stepped forward and pulled Yueying and Brother Xing to look at him: "This is the eldest girl and the eldest young master, they are really handsome." ”

"My aunt complimented me."

Aunt Chen is in her prime, but there is a resentment in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, it seems that it is not easy to accompany her husband who is much older than herself. "I haven't seen each other for a few years, but my aunt hasn't changed at all!" Shen Muqing was polite to her.

"Really!" Aunt Chen touched her face with some surprise, "I now apply my face every day, ......" Seeing the eldest lady out of the corner of her eye, she knew that it was not the time to say this, "I'll talk to my aunt and grandmother in detail another day - the master is still waiting for my aunt and grandmother in the study!" ”

Mother Tian took the group of maids and women to bend down to salute the eldest lady and Shen Muqing.

The eldest lady had already prepared, and asked the hosta to reward each person with a silver bill, and she went to the study with Shen Muqing, leaving Yingying Yanyan's thanks behind.

Shen Zhen stood in the center of the study, telling himself to stay calm, but when the figure in a pink gown appeared in front of him, his eyes immediately filled with tears.

"Mu Qing!" didn't wait for his daughter to greet him, he had already stepped forward and took Shen Muqing's hand.

Shen Muqing knelt in front of Shen Zhen: "Master......" looked at her father with silver hair, and before she finished speaking, she had already burst into tears, "You, are you okay?" ”

"Good, good, good." Shen Zhen looked at his daughter, and only knew how to mutter, "Okay".

"My daughter is not filial!" Shen Muqing held his father's hand and sobbed.

She couldn't cry anymore, and Brother Xing also cried loudly, while Xiao Yueying tilted her head and looked at Shen Zhen, her face full of curiosity.

"This is Yueying and Brother Xing!" Shen Zhen hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes and touched Yueying, who was standing beside Shen Muqing.

Mingxia, who was holding Brother Xing, immediately stepped forward a few steps and walked in front of Shen Zhen.

When Brother Xing saw the stranger, he stopped crying and looked at Shen Zhen with wide eyes. There are crystal clear tears on her white and tender face, and her eyes are like the clear sky after the rain...... Shen Zhen immediately liked the little guy in front of him.

"Come, let grandpa hug!" Shen Zhen hugged Brother Xing in his arms.

Brother Xing didn't recognize his life either, and looked straight at Shen Zhen, who liked it even more.

"Are you my grandfather?" A crisp voice suddenly sounded.

Shen Zhen lowered his head and saw his granddaughter looking at him with a puzzled face.
