"Joking about Qianlong" Shen Fang continued-Meng-Chapter 2
When she opened the door, she walked in and touched the desk, chair, bedside, dressing table, and the furnishings in the room were the same as they were back then. Sitting on the edge of the bed, his fingers sinking into the soft futon, his eyes suddenly moistened.
"Mother......." Meng'er ran over and shook her, and Shen Fang wiped her tears.
"This is the room where my mother has lived since she was a child, so I'll give it to you in the future." Shen Fang touched her daughter's face pocket.
"Really?" Meng'er looked at her, her little eyes shining.
"Yes." Shen Fang nodded.
"Miss, I have cleaned up a room for Miss Meng'er, and I will move your things over in a moment."
"Mother Chen, I'll come by myself, it's not far away anyway."
"Mother, I saw a big garden there, and I wanted to go and play." Mon'er pointed out the door.
"You, you know how to play, you can't stop for a moment." Shen Fang nodded the tip of her nose and was talking when a girl came in at the door.
"Miss, this is a new girl, surnamed Fu, we call Ah Tao."
"Ah Tao has seen Miss." The girl knelt down and saluted.
"Get up, don't be polite." Shen Fang stepped forward to help her up, and when she raised her head, she was really a delicate girl, as bright as her name, fifteen or sixteen, and her eyebrows were still immature.
"Sister Tao, let's go to the garden to play. Mother, okay? Meng'er pulled as if she had found a companion.
"Okay~, Ah Tao, you can take her there, be careful."
"Yes, miss." Ah Tao took Meng'er's hand and went out.
"Ah Tao, you take good care of Miss Meng'er." Chen's mother went out and went into the house after instructing.
"Mother Chen, you've worked hard for the past few years, take care of this garden."
"No, no, no, it's not hard at all, I'm already very satisfied to stay in the Shen family and wait for you, and now I see you coming back, it's really a master,
Madame in God bless. Chen's mother was in tears, her hands folded.
"I didn't expect to come back here one day, and the day I was kicked out of my house seems to have been yesterday." Shen Fang held back tears.
"It's really unpredictable, the master, the lady, and the young master were all good people back then, but now you are the only one left, hey......." Chen's mother sighed
angry, provoked her a tear, hurriedly wiped it away, strong she will only cry on the child's birthday.
"Yao Song ......, there has been no news, hasn't he ever come back?"
"No, I went around to inquire, but I couldn't find out about the young master." Chen's mother shook her head.
"I've been out there for the past few years, running around, and I haven't looked for him properly, and then I have Meng'er, and I can't get away, I don't know what happened to him
I hope he ....... Shen Fang choked up.
"Don't worry, Young Master Jiren has his own natural appearance, he will definitely come back safely, and the lord and lady will also bless him." Chen's mother comforted.
"I'm sorry for the Shen family, I'm sorry for my father, Chen's mother, I ......." Shen Fang finally couldn't help crying.
"Miss, I understand, you can't be blamed for this, it's all fate." Chen's mother wiped her tears.
"Fate ......, I don't accept fate." Tears were swallowed in his resolute eyes, and a pair of sword eyebrows slashed his thoughts for many years.
"Miss, life is impermanent, who could have predicted it? Now that you have Miss Meng'er, you have to take care of your own body, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about her. Chen's mother wiped her tears.
"Meng'er, Meng'er, she ......." Shen Fang muttered softly, wanting to speak and stopped.
"Miss, you are tired and tired all the way, I will make your bed, you can rest for a while." Seeing her so sad, Chen's mother deliberately diverted the topic. Over the years, I have learned the news of Shen Fang from Lao Ma intermittently, and I also feel sorry for what happened to her outside, I don't know how many tears I shed for her behind my back, obviously she is the daughter of an official family, she should have lived a life of fine clothes and fine food, pampered and pampered, but she had to go through so much suffering, and finally wanted to entrust others, and finally ended up with a Lao Yan and more children, will you have to be lonely for a lifetime in the future? Poor young lady.
"Mother Chen, I'll do it myself." Shen Fang hurriedly stopped her.
"No, Miss, you suffered outside, when you get home, you are still Miss, let me come." Chen's mother's words made Shen Fang cry again, she hurriedly helped her and patted her gently, Chen's mother's words were right, no matter how strong she was outside, how unyielding, she was still a daughter who needed to rely on when she returned home.
After a few days of driving, she was indeed a little tired, Shen Fang freshened up, then lay down to rest, no matter how many changes have passed, home is always home, that familiar and safe feeling made her close her eyes as soon as she touched the futon, and fell asleep deeply, she was really too tired, too tired.
When Shen Fang woke up, it was already past dinner time, she had slept for most of the day, this was the most solid sleep she had in many years, she got up and lit the lamp, and Chen's mother just came in with food.
"Miss, are you awake and sleeping well?"
"It's so comfortable, it's better at home. Look, I've been asleep for so long, why don't you wake me up? Shen Fang sat down at the table.
"Seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I can't bear to wake up, come, eat quickly, I'm hungry." Chen's mother handed over the chopsticks.
"I'm so asleep that I don't think you're really hungry when you say it."
"Then eat it, it's just hot." Chen's mother picked up another pair of chopsticks to pick up vegetables for her.
"What about Mon'er? Has she eaten it? ”
"I've eaten it a long time ago, and now I'm in the hall, pestering the old horse to tell stories."
"This naughty ghost loves to stick to the old horse."
"She's just as naughty as you were when you were a kid, and she likes to ask weird questions, some of which I can't answer."
"Oh?" Shen Fang differences.
"Just now, you asked me about when you were a child, and I told her about you eating books, and she said you were stupid." Chen's mother said as she sandwiched the dishes
She bowls.
"Call me stupid?"
"Yes, she said that books are for reading, not for eating." Chen's mother laughed, and Shen Fang also laughed.
"This girl."
"Miss, you're finally smiling." Shen Fang was embarrassed to get up to eat. After eating, she came to the hall and saw Meng'er listening to the old horse's story with relish, and her attentive expression was like that of a person.
"Mother!" Meng'er saw her hurriedly jumping out of Ma Feng's arms and ran over.
"Are you good? Did you make any noise about Grandpa Ma? Shen Fang picked her up.
"Good, don't be noisy, don't be noisy." Meng'er snuggled in Shen Fang's arms.
"Miss, you're up."
"yes, I don't know if I overslept like I didn't know it." Shen Fang put down Meng'er and sat down herself.
"Miss, are you still used to it?"
"Of course, this is my home."
"That's good, I've arranged the things to worship my ancestors the day after tomorrow, my uncle and they will come, and the other relatives have all moved away."
"There are so many clansmen in the Shen family, and they all rely on the blessing of their ancestors on weekdays, but when something happens, they escape, hide, and go, and they can't compare to those with foreign surnames." Shen Fang said angrily.
"When the lord was given to die, the lady followed, and those clan relatives fled one after another for fear of affecting their own families, although worshipping ancestors is a big deal, and the court no longer pursues the Shen family, but no one dares to return to the capital."
"All of them are cowardly and afraid of things, and they judge the situation, and they don't have the face to see their ancestors." Shen Fang's face was angry, and Meng'er next to her was already asleep on her lap, so she gently picked up the child and went back to the house.
The next day, the Shen Mansion was busy. Early in the morning, Shen Fang put on plain clothes, took Meng'er and Lao Ma to the grave of Mr. and Mrs. Shen to worship, the tomb has been renovated, covered with treasure tops, stone carvings, protecting the tomb, birds and beasts, and trees are planted around, which is extremely sophisticated. The tombstone is engraved: 'The tomb of Shen Dixiang, the prince of Qing Wenguo, the son Shen Yaosong and the daughter Shen Yaofang weep, and the one next to it is Mrs. Shen's, and the two elders are buried together. Shen Fang looked at the inscription and heard that Lao Ma said that the emperor rehabilitated his father's case, and also sealed the title and repaired the cemetery. It seems to be intentions, but these are meaningless in her heart, and her parents and relatives can never return to her side, so what's the use of asking for these rewards?
"Father, mother, the unfilial daughter Shen Fang has come to see you. Over the years, my daughter has not come to visit her father, and she asks her father and mother for forgiveness. She knelt down and kowtowed, and then pulled over Meng'er.
"This is your own granddaughter, named Shen Meng, who is five years old this year, I'm sorry, I didn't bring her to worship you until now. Meng'er, kneel down and kowtow to your grandparents. Shen Fang was in tears, feeling guilty about her family all the time, facing her parents and being ashamed.
"Grandpa, grandmother, don't blame your mother, Meng'er will kowtow to you." She knelt down seriously and kowtowed, and Shen Fang couldn't help but hide her face and wipe her tears.
"Master, madam, Ma Feng finally lived up to the trust and found Miss, you have a spirit in the sky, you can rest assured."
"Father, mother, if you really have a spirit in the sky, please bless your brother to be safe and sound, and come back as soon as possible to reunite with the family." After worshipping, they then went to Biyun Temple, and under the guidance of the abbot of the temple, they invited back the spiritual seat of Mr. and Mrs. Shen, and the three of them got into a carriage and left.
