Ah Sheng's leather shop has been open for a week, and business is surprisingly good, he often runs from both ends of the dock shop to pick up and ship goods. When some local gentry heard that his goods were coming in and out of Russia, they came to see the freshness and wanted to cooperate with him, keeping him busy. This time, as soon as he finished shipping, he remembered a place, Shen Yuan. He climbed over the wall and sneaked into the garden, and there seemed to be no one in the garden, so he boldly approached the building, and when he saw a pavilion, he remembered the scene of chatting and laughing in the pavilion with his father and sister in the past, and couldn't help but touch the scene. Walking forward, he saw the old locust tree in the courtyard, in the past, he often played chess with Master Shen on this tree, he touched the trunk, the stone table, and the stone bench, and the past was vivid.

"Who are you?" Suddenly, there was a shout from behind, and he instinctively turned his head.

"Young Master? How are you? Chen's mother recognized him.

"You've mistaken someone." Ah Sheng turned to leave.

"Young master, I'm Mother Chen, who grew up hugging you, how could I recognize the wrong person, don't you remember?" Chen's mother immediately grabbed him.

"I'm not, you're mistaken." Ah Sheng shook off her hand.

"If you're not a young master, then what are you doing here? Young master, we have been looking for you, especially Miss, Miss has returned, but she hurried to find you after learning about you. Chen's mother said that Ah Sheng still left after hearing this.

"Miss, she went to Rehe, young master, come back, the Shen family can't live without you." Chen's mother followed behind and shouted loudly, until Ah Sheng climbed over the wall and went out, and she had to stand there stunned.

"Mother Chen, what's wrong." Ah Tao heard her shouts and rushed over.

"The young master is back, it's the young master who is back."

"Young Master? Isn't he in some Xing'an Mountains, could you be mistaken? Tao didn't believe it.

"No matter how dizzy I am, I won't be wrong, he and Miss were both raised by me, how could I be wrong." Chen's mother was in tears.

"What about the others?"

"Gone, but I told him where Miss was." Chen's mother wiped her tears.

"Huh? Didn't Miss say that she couldn't tell anyone, what if he wasn't a young master? ”

"He must be, he's the young master, that's why I said it." Chen's mother said firmly, and Ah Tao sighed.

Mountain resort.

Shen Fang hugged Meng'er for a long time, and when she saw that she was asleep, she put her on the bed, covered the quilt, and touched her forehead, feeling that the fever had subsided, and she was relieved, she looked at the sky outside the window, closed the door and walked out of the house, and came to the hall.

"Lord Cao." Shen Fang greeted Master Cao.

"How's Meng'er, is she better?" Haochen asked hurriedly.

"Well, she's asleep, and she's already had a fever."

"Shen Fang, come over for a cup of tea and have some snacks." Lord Cao gestured.

"Master Xie." Shen Fang sat down.

"I haven't seen you in years, are you okay?"

"All is well." Shen Fang looked around and didn't see the fourth master.

"Lord Cao, thank you for your help, I'm sorry to disturb here, I think it's time for us to leave." Shen Fang got up.

"Don't worry, the child's illness is not well yet, just rest here for a while."

"Thank you, my lord, the family is still waiting, so I won't bother." Shen Fang refused and was about to go back to the room to hug Meng'er.

"Shen Fang, the child is sick, it is not suitable to go out to blow the wind and rain at this time, you can stay and take care of it temporarily, and it is not too late to go back when her fever subsides, the child's illness cannot be ignored, there is a doctor here, and you can also diagnose and treat and dispense medicine in time." Lord Cao tried his best to keep it.

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient for this ......." Shen Fang was a little embarrassed.

"It's not that I forced you to stay, it's for the sake of the child, you don't have to worry about the rest, I've arranged it all."

"Miss, since Master Cao said so, you can stay, and I'll go back and tell them to come back."

"I'll stay here, don't worry." Haochen said, and at this time, Chunxi came in with porridge and medicine.

"Shen Fang, you can't go, you have to help feed the medicine, come in quickly."

"Alright then, I'm sorry for the trouble. Lao Ma, you go back and talk to your father, and when Meng'er is better, I will take her back. ”

"Okay, I'll go."

Haochen accompanied Master Cao to talk in the hall, and Shen Fang and Chunxi entered the house. As soon as they stepped into the door, the two of them were stunned, only to see the emperor lying on the side of the bed, staring at Meng'er intently, wiping her sweat with a handkerchief, touching her forehead, and touching her own forehead, not finding the two people at the door at all, Shen Fang looked at his focused back, and his heart was mixed. At this time, Meng'er woke up, opened her eyes, and saw the fourth master.

"Fourth Uncle." Meng'er called him, the emperor smiled at her, she turned her head again, and saw Shen Fang at the door.

"Mother!" Meng'er shouted in surprise, the fourth master turned around in surprise and slowly stood up, and Shen Fang also looked at him. Dressed in a turquoise long undershirt, with a royal blue trimmed horse coat and a hat of the same color, he smiled indifferently, but was overjoyed; She was wearing a light purple shirt with trousers, her head was tied in a bun, and her braids were pulled up in half, thin and beautiful, and she looked slightly tired. The first meeting after not seeing each other for many years happened so coincidentally, so that each other was at a loss for what to do, looking at each other excitedly, and his eyes were full of inexhaustible sorrow.

"Meng'er, you're awake, but you're in a hurry." Shen Fang immediately retracted his gaze, did not ask for peace, and ignored him. Walked straight to the bed, Chunxi followed, put the things on the table, the fourth master retreated to the outhouse, and Shen Fang looked back at him.

"Mother, I ......." Meng'er knew that she had made a mistake again, and looked at Shen Fang timidly.

"Are you better?" Shen Fang stroked her daughter's forehead.

"Drink some porridge first, little thing, you must be hungry." Chunxi walked over with porridge, and Shen Fang lifted the quilt and picked up Meng'er.

"Let me do it." She took the porridge, scooped a spoonful and blew it on her mouth, and then fed it to the child's mouth.

Meng'er was indeed hungry, she hadn't eaten since the morning, and she was still a little scared when she saw Shen Fang just now, and she still ate obediently despite her anger.

"That's good!" Chunxi pinched her little face and sat down at the table, stirring the cold medicine with a spoon. After a while, a small bowl of porridge was finished, and Chunxi took the bowl to wipe her mouth.

"Do you want more?" Meng'er shook her head, Shen Fang moved her to the bed, walked to the table and tried the medicine, and blew a few more mouthfuls.

"Meng'er, drink the medicine." Shen Fang took it over.

"No, I don't drink it." Meng'er's face became nervous, and she shrank straight into the bed.

"How can you not drink medicine when you are sick, you will be cured if you drink medicine." Chunxi said.

"No, it's bitter." Mon'er pouted.

"Bitterness is effective, just drink it in one sip and get sick, come, mother feed you." Shen Fang raised the spoon and brought it to her mouth. Meng'er looked at the black decoction, and a foul bitter smell floated, and her whole body trembled, and she suddenly retreated to the corner of the bed and curled up inside.

"Meng'er, come here, obediently take the medicine, and my mother will take you home." Shen Fang beckoned to her.

"No...... No, I don't drink medicine, I don't. ”

"Meng'er, you are obedient, drink the medicine quickly." No matter what Shen Fang said, she refused to come.

"Meng'er, after drinking the medicine, Aunt Chunxi will take you to visit the garden, the scenery of this garden is beautiful, there are pavilions, rockeries, pools, and there are many small fish in the pool, do you want to see it?" Chunxi said that the fourth master outside the house walked out of the house after hearing it.

"Yes." Mon'er nodded.

"If you want to, drink the medicine, and we'll go as soon as we're cured, okay?"

"No...... No. Meng'er shook her head.

"Meng'er, if you don't drink again, will your mother really be angry?" Shen Fang pretended to bluff her.

"Shen Fang~" Chunxi pushed her, but who knew that Meng'er suddenly burst into tears, crying very sadly.

"I don't drink...... Sick and cured...... Don't be a muller. She muttered as she cried.

"Meng'er, don't cry, your mother is coaxing you to play, how could she not want you." Chunxi was busy persuading her, but Meng'er still cried.

"Mother won't want you, drink the medicine quickly, obedient." Shen Fang wanted to reach out and pull her, but suddenly the medicine in her hand was taken by the fourth master, which shocked her heart, and she didn't know when he came into the house.

"Meng'er, Uncle Fourth told you that this medicine is not bitter, and it is very sweet."

"You lie, you all lie." Meng'er said while crying.

"I don't lie to you, it's true, I don't believe I'll drink it to you." As he spoke, the fourth master took a shallow sip.

"It's so sweet~, if you don't drink it, I'll drink it all, so your illness won't get better, and you won't be able to go to the garden with Chunxi." The fourth master pretended to drink, but Shen Fang and Chunxi both looked at him in a daze.

"Meng'er wants to drink." Meng'er suddenly stopped crying, crawled to the edge of the bed, sniffed the medicine, and frowned again.

"I'll teach you a trick: we don't use a spoon, you close your eyes, and you drink it in a big gulp, I promise it's sweet, okay?"

"Okay." Meng'er nodded, closed her eyes, held the bowl, and really gulped down the medicine, seeing Shen Fang and Chunxi show an expression of amazement, especially Shen Fang, seeing that the two of them had such a tacit understanding, they couldn't help but be pleased.

"Open your mouth." When the fourth master saw that Meng'er had finished drinking the medicine, he immediately put down the bowl and took out a small piece of rock candy from his left palm and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Sweet or not?" He asked with a smile.

"Sweet." Meng'er smiled, tears still on her face.

"I didn't lie to you." He wiped away her tears, Meng'er smiled at him like honey with sugar, Shen Fang looked at them, held back her tears, and ran out of the house with a sour heart.

"Fourth master, you go after it, go." Chunxi said, the fourth master immediately got up and chased out, Chunxi smiled.

"Come, Meng'er, let's lie down under the covers and rest a little longer." Chunxi Meng'er moved into the quilt and sat next to her.

Shen Fang passed through the hall and ran directly to the courtyard, Haochen and Master Cao were chatting, and they were a little surprised to see her running out in tears.

"Ah Fang." Haochen shouted, and was about to catch up, but when he saw that the fourth master also followed, he chased over, he stopped, and watched the two of them run into the garden one after the other, as if he understood something.

"Cao Shibo, is he?" Haochen turned around and asked Lord Cao.

"Let them go, it's fine." Master Cao replied calmly and picked up the teacup and drank tea. Haochen sat back in his chair and thought, "Could it be that this person is the fourth master?" ”

Shen Fang rushed all the way to the corridor, couldn't hold back the pain in his heart anymore, and cried out against the pillars. The picture just now moved and shocked her, what made the two of them so harmonious and close in half a day, and then she realized what flesh and blood nature is, it is a kind of emotion that will be revealed all the time, and it can't be erased or hidden. For five years, the child has been dependent on her, living without a father, today seeing him taking care of the child, seeing the happy smile in the child's eyes, she wanted to blurt out, that is her father, she is enjoying the father's love that she has never had, but she can't say it, she can't say it, this dilemma entangled her heart, and suddenly overwhelmed her.

At this time, the fourth master chased after him, and when he saw Shen Fang crying, he wanted to reach out and grab her and comfort her, but he retreated.

"Shen Fang." When he finally opened his mouth to call her, she listened to her ears, and did not turn away, but closed her eyes and wept faintly. He stepped forward, took the handkerchief from his bosom and handed it to her, and she looked at it and tried to cry.

"Thank you for taking care of Meng'er, I'll take her back later." Shen Fang wiped away her tears.

"Why are you in such a hurry, do you hate me so much that you don't want to see me?" As soon as Shen Fang raised his eyes when he heard this, he came into contact with his hot eyes, and hurriedly avoided his gaze.

"No, I'm inconvenient here, I'm afraid I'll cause you trouble."

"Yes, you've always been my trouble, and I can't get rid of it if I want to." The fourth master's words surprised her, so she bypassed him and wanted to go back to the house.

"Shen Fang, how are you?" The fourth master walked up to her in a few steps, grabbed her, and let go of his hand. Shen Fang looked at him, with mixed feelings, staring at each other for a long time, and suddenly took her into his arms, Shen Fang did not struggle, and let him hold him tightly.

"I know, it's been hard for you all these years, it's very hard to be alone with a child outside, it's all my fault, and I have made you suffer a lot of grievances. I've been asking about your whereabouts, but I've never heard from you, thinking I'll never see you again in my life. The fourth master hugged her, feeling the warmth from her slender body rising and falling with the sound of crying, reminding him that Shen Fang had also leaned on his shoulder and cried back then, as if he had gone back in time, and this feeling of loss and recovery made him cherish it doubly. Shen Fang didn't say a word, quietly leaned on his arms, listening to his soft voice, tears flowed involuntarily, she gradually reached out to wrap around his waist, his words went deep into her heart, the fourth master stroked the back of her head, making her feel very calm, and slowly stopped crying.

"Buddha Shen Fang, thank you Buddha for bless me and let me see your mother and daughter. Meng'er, I like her, she is my ......" Before the emperor finished speaking, Shen Fang suddenly pushed him away.

"No, it's not, she's my child, and you...... It does not matter. Shen Fang tried her best to deny it, but she couldn't hide her weak expression.

"Shen Fang, why are you hurting my heart like this? You know best if the child is mine, don't you? The fourth master was a little sad when he heard it.

"Yes, I know best in my heart that she's not your child." After speaking, she turned around and left, and the fourth master chased after her and grabbed her.

"Whether it's or not, as long as you're by my side, I don't mind anything." He tried to hug her as he spoke.
