"Joking about Qianlong" Shen Fang continued-Meng-Chapter 3

On this day, Chunxi, Baozhu, and Jia Liu walked around the street, wanting to find some fun for the emperor, and they didn't find anything new and interesting when they walked around and looked west, so they sat on the tea stall next to them and drank tea, and Jia Liu bought a sugar gourd and chewed it.

"Last time I called the troupe to sing, the fourth master was listless, what should I do this time?" Spring joy is sad.

"I don't think it would be good to invite all the gods in the sky down." Jia Liu said as he bit it.

"Looking at him like this, we don't have a good life." After Baozhu finished speaking, he swallowed a small bowl of catechu.

"That's it, you're still in the mood to eat." Chunxi hit Jia Liu.

"I see, just get Jin Wuzhen back, and the fourth master will be happy." Jia Liu rammed nonsense.

"He is happy, but the other masters are not happy, and you will not be able to eat and walk around when the time comes." Chun Xi gave him a white look.

"Let's let him pay a private visit and go to other places to take a look, the fourth master really hasn't been out on patrol for a long time." Baozhu said.

"It's not that he doesn't want to go out on patrol, but he doesn't dare to go out on patrol, and would rather be locked up in the palace than cause a bunch of sadness outside." Chunxi chewed on her braids, her expression gloomy.

"The fourth master is so pitiful, every time I meet a woman I like, I can't keep it, it's not as good as me, it's light." Jia Liu threw the sugar gourd skewer and shook his head with a smile.

"You, you don't have this life at all, don't be sentimental here. Pillar, let's go. Chunxi knocked him on the head, got up and left.

"You ......" Jia Liu was angry.

"What are you, can you go?" Chunxi turned back to him and asked him.

"Let's go, huh." He followed boringly, and Chunxi smiled and turned to walk forward. Suddenly, a carriage passed by and stopped in front, Chunxi raised her eyes and saw that it was the gate of Shen Yuan, she pulled the treasure pillar and they stopped and stood in the distance and watched. I saw the old horse get off the car, and then took out a little girl, and then a woman held the ranks, and also got out of the car, Chunxi's eyes widened, the woman was wearing a plain dress with a blue edge on a white background, her hair was pulled up, and she held a slender braid under her right ear, with a calm face, the door of the Shen Mansion was open, and she walked in. Although there was a distance away, Chunxi recognized the woman as Shen Fang at a glance, so she pushed the treasure pillar with some excitement.

"Look, isn't that Shen Fang?" Chunxi whispered.

"Shen Fang? She's back? Baozhu looked incredulous.

"Now the fourth master is happy." Jia Liu said.

"I'm glad you're big, I didn't see a little girl next to her, she must have been married and had children." Chunxi said, seeing that the little girl was four or five years old, with a delicate face, also wearing a white plain clothes, and her hair was coiled into a delicate tangle, and she was led into the door by the old horse.

"I didn't see her man." Jia Liu asked.

"She was holding the tablet, presumably because the man died, so she returned to the capital." Baozhu explained.

"Didn't you see that she was holding two tablets in her hand, could it be that two men died, and she really didn't need to talk brainlessly." Chunxi's slender fingertips, one person rewards one brain.

"You have brains, so what's going on?" Jia Liu hissed, covering his sore spot.

"Now that it's Qingming, she must have come back to worship her father." Chunxi said.

"Yo, it's still our Chunxi smart, it's Qingming now, everyone knows it's a day of worship, and if you say it, you don't say it." Baozhu laughed at her and left, followed by Jia Liu with a smile.

"Hmph, you two dare to tease me, I will definitely go to the fourth master to complain when I go back, and wait for me." Chunxi shouted and rushed in front of them.

"Ouch, my Aunt Chunxi, don't do it, don't sue us, if even Shen Fang sues together, won't this be a big mess in the world?" Jia Liu chased after her and grabbed her.

"yes, how did I forget this, I have to think about it when I go back, go, go back to the palace." Haruki said as she quickened her pace.

"Let's go back, why don't you go shopping?" Jaliu grabbed her arm.

"If you want to go shopping, you can go shopping by yourself, I won't accompany you." Chunxi shook him off and walked straight forward.

"I'm not going to accompany you either." Baozhu hurriedly followed.

"Cut, don't drag me when you want to come out next time." Jia Liu spat.

Shen Fang held the tablet all the way into the ancestral hall in the backyard, and at this time, Mrs. Shen's maiden family also arrived at the Shen Mansion and waited outside the ancestral hall. Shen Fang enshrined the tablet in front of the table, incense was lit in the ancestral hall, tributes were surrounded, and several monks were chanting. She knelt down, folded her hands and recited, and her uncle, his wife, and his young uncle also knelt behind her.

"The ancestors of the Shen family are on top, the unfilial daughter Shen Fang today returns to the ancestral hall with her father's spirit card, may the two elders rest in peace under the nine springs, if you know in the sky, you can return to your hometown, and then let your daughter be filial to you, and please bless Yaosong with peace and sound, and return as soon as possible." As she spoke, she leaned down to kowtow, Meng'er also knelt and kowtowed beside her, and Lao Ma and Chen's mother watched outside, feeling deeply comforted.

After the offering was completed, Shen Fang asked the kitchen to prepare a family banquet for his cousin's family. Mrs. Shen's maiden name is Zhou, and her cousin Zhou Qianli was an academician of the Academy of Court Painting, and later resigned from his official position due to the change of the Shen family to start an antique calligraphy and painting business, and his wife Feng has two daughters and a son, both daughters are married, the youngest son is named Haochen, Shen Fang is one year old, and now runs a business with his father. In the early years, the Shen and Zhou families had a very good relationship, Shen Fang and Haochen knew each other since childhood, grew up together, and the elders of both sides had the intention of forming a family of children and daughters, but later the Shen family suffered an accident, and this family affair was put on hold.

"Cousin, aunt, cousin Haochen, thank you for coming to the sacrifice today, Shen Fang is here to toast first." She took a sip of her glass.

"It's all your own people, don't do this. It's too late for us to see you again today. Feng Shi looked at her with emotion.

"Yes, after receiving Lao Ma's post, our whole family was very shocked, for more than ten years, there has been no news from you, and we can't find you, my heart feels like there is a stone pressing, and I am relieved to see you so good today." Zhou Qianli said.

"Thank you cousin and aunt for being so concerned. After my father and mother were killed, my brother and I were assigned, those clan relatives were afraid of being implicated, so they avoided it one after another, and broke off the relationship with the Shen family, thanks to you for taking care of the funeral for my father and mother and taking care of the Shen family, I have never had the opportunity to say thank you, this glass of wine must be toasted. Shen Fang said and picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and after two glasses of wine in a row, her face was slightly red and she smiled a little.

"Ah Fang, although you call me cousin, but the relationship between our two families is no different from that of our relatives, I think when your parents were alive, we also moved around a lot, and we just came to the capital from our hometown at that time, and lived in your house for a long time, thanks to your father and mother to take care of us. In this blink of an eye, you have all grown up, and we are also old, and your father and mother are ......, hey. Zhou Qianli sighed, and Shen Fang listened silently.

"It's all in the past, don't mention it, now that Ah Fang is back, the Shen family will be fine. Over the years, you must have suffered a lot outside, and it's really hard for you. Feng Shi took Shen Fang's hand and said.

"No matter how much hardship I endure, I'm not afraid to get through it. Now I just hope to find my brother soon, and I don't have any regrets. Shen Fang had tears in her eyes, and Haochen couldn't stop looking at her.

"Over the years, we have also inquired about his news, and asked the soldiers who came back from Xing'anling in the past, and they all said that they don't know this person, how do you go to find him?" Zhou Qianli said.

"I haven't thought about this yet, maybe I'll look along the border again, as long as he's alive, I'll definitely find him." Shen Fang said firmly.

"Go to the border? There is chaos there, you are a girl's house, it's too dangerous. Feng worried.

"It doesn't matter, I've been like this all these years when I've been out alone, my younger brother is the bloodline of the Shen family, if I don't find him, I will lose my ancestors and ancestors, and I will lose my father and mother." Shen Fang has a deep sense of guilt for his younger brother in his heart, he has always remembered revenge, and he has not looked for him well in the past ten years, if he really has any strengths and weaknesses, then his sins will be even deeper.

"Don't worry, I'll ask someone to help you inquire, find the right direction and then go, it's more certain." Haochen looked at her for a while and calmly persuaded.

"Well, thank you, cousin." Shen Fang smiled at him. I haven't seen her for many years, she is more calm and delicate, her smile is still kind and lovely, but there is a little more sadness in her eyes, which makes people feel distressed. Although he didn't know exactly what happened to her outside, he could almost guess a few points when he saw Meng'er.

At the dinner table, the family seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they didn't ask about the child in front of Shen Fang, for fear that she would be embarrassed. And she simply let Meng Er meet the elders and let Ah Tao take them down.

After dinner, Shen Fang arranged a guest room for Uncle Zhou and others to rest, and went to see Meng'er, Ah Tao was playing with her, and then she planned to go to the ancestral hall to follow the monks to continue chanting, passing through the corridor, Haochen stopped her.

"Ah Fang."

"Cousin." Shen Fang turned around and agreed.

"I haven't seen each other in years, so let's talk for a while." Haochen walked up, and Shen Fang nodded.

"How are you, cousin?"

"It's not good, it's not bad, you know, I don't like to study, and I don't have the heart to take the test, so I can only follow my father to sell calligraphy, paintings, and antiques in the store."

"That's good, you've loved these things since you were a child, and you're good at drawing, but I'll never be able to compare to you."

"Do you remember how to compare your drawings with me?"

"Of course, I'm a person who doesn't admit defeat, since I was a child, my father also raised me as a boy, I can do everything you know, but this painting."

"But your father also said that fortunately you are not a boy, otherwise you must be a bandit leader."

"Hahaha." Shen Fang laughed out loud when she heard this.

"You're finally smiling, it's been a long time since I've seen you smile like this." Haochen looked at her, Shen Fang smiled and lowered her head and raised her eyes to look at the moonsky, Xi

Among the bustling stars, I don't know if there is a father and mother, watching themselves in the sky.

"Ah Fang, where have you been all these years?" Haochen asked seriously.

"Go anywhere, the ends of the earth, wander everywhere." Shen Fang looked at him.

"The ends of the earth?"

"Yes, Tianya...... Promontory. Her speech slowed down, her expression became solemn, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

"Ah Fang......." Before Haochen's words fell, Shen Fang interrupted and said that he was going to the ancestral hall, and he started and walked forward, and Haochen had to follow.
