They only knew that Shen Hong was coming back, but they didn't know when the Tao would come, and they were worried in their hearts, and their bodies were roasting in the house, and they didn't delay knocking some melon seeds by the way.

The curtain suddenly opened, and Tan'er rushed in: "Madam, Lord Shen is back." ”

Lin Piao hurriedly threw down the melon seeds in his hand and clapped his hands: "This is here?" Go and inform the others. ”

Tan'er nodded, and ran out again, they walked out quickly, Shen Hong had already come in, met on the road, he was surrounded by a few slaves who welcomed him in, Lin Piao looked him up and down, saw that he was a little tanned, he was a little thinner, and he looked a lot more mature and steady, nothing else has changed, and then look at the people around him.

Shanzi is here, Lin Feng and Wu Chi are here.

"Lan Hui Rongbi? Why aren't they with you anymore? ”

"I left them there, lest I leave, and others will not be able to figure things out again, and delay the repair of the ditch."

Lin Piao nodded again and again, followed him to the courtyard first, everyone got together, first called hot tea up, and then informed the kitchen to buy food, everything was ordered, the second aunt and Uncle Qiu Dazhuang also rushed over, Xiaoyue and Juan'er were in Yueming Building, and they had not yet rushed back.

After all, it was not yet time to eat, and a lot of questions were asked, what is good outside, how is it outside now, what is eating outside, Shen Hong patiently answered one by one, and then because he was busy returning to Beijing, he had to go out to meet the second prince first.

He went out for a while and came back, and it can be seen that he and the second prince only met once, and it was not so good that he had to catch up for two hours.

In the evening, Lin Piao stayed by his side, and when Xiaoyue and Juan'er came back, they gathered for dinner, and the day was over.

When the process was finished and everyone had left, Lin Piao asked, "Why did you suddenly come back, and why?" So suddenly. ”

Shen Hong shook his head: "I also had some accidents about this, but it was actually because of Huchen. ”

"Huchen?"

"The second prince is already a little panicked, he was not under my control before, so he didn't value me very much, he was determined to keep his light and keep his eyes open, so he didn't intend to take care of my affairs, the eight immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers, but this time Huchen suddenly did such a big thing, and now he is following the Xiang family, I guess he knows that I have this relationship with Huchen, and specially transferred me back, so he wants to suppress Huchen through me, so as not to be too arrogant with Huchen in Xiangjia's hand."

Lin Piao was a little surprised: "I also said that how things happened so coincidentally, they all came back all at once, and it turned out to be this cause and effect." ”

Heavenly Bodhisattva, the second aunt really didn't worship in vain, and this time they brought both of them back, and they also went to hug the Buddha's feet.

Chapter 153

As soon as Shen Hong returned, he turned around in a row, he is still a water conservator, but it belongs to the level of strategic layout, he wants to draw out several places that are relatively prone to water shortage over the years, plan out the areas, and then organize the construction of ditches in these places, and slowly spread the plan for these locations within a few years.

This is Shen Hong's work content, and there are naturally a lot of socials after work, especially the second prince has come to him a lot, and it can be seen that the second prince needs Shen Hong more, he has never been to Shen Mansion before, and he has recently come back to Shen Mansion to see Shen Hong occasionally.

Every time he came, Lin Piao avoided it, not wanting to listen to him talk nonsense.

The family was full of joy, especially when Erzhu was on the way back, and the second aunt was at home all day long and began to make big purchases.

Lin Piao was so hot that his gums hurt, and he hurriedly called Yun'er: "Yun'er, go find me some medicine, my teeth are swollen, have you eaten a little bit of fire recently, ask the kitchen to make it lighter." ”

"Madam, the kitchen has always been the same as before, except for the chicken soup brought by my aunt, which she specially stewed, and everyone has a cup, so it should be fine."

Lin Piao thought for a while: "No, how can a cup as big as a palm make people eat." Lin Piao thought about the chicken soup, and the second aunt loved him, so she deliberately filled him with meat or chopped chicken wings and drumsticks.

Yun'er took out the medicine, poured a little white powder from the bottle on a piece of tissue paper, and then folded it diagonally into her mouth and shook it in the red and swollen area.

Lin Piao was excited, and the medicinal powder melted in his mouth, so bitter that his face wrinkled.

"It's bitter."

"Madame, stop talking, it will be more bitter later."

Lin Piao put on a painful mask, endured the taste for a while, and became more and more bitter on his tongue, so he quickly took the tea and rinsed it off.

In the afternoon, the second aunt brought chicken soup over, and Lin Piao: "Auntie, what is the chicken soup stewed with, if the medicinal properties do not conflict, add some lotus seeds to clear the fire, my teeth and flesh are very painful." ”

The second aunt looked at it distressedly: "It should be fine, my stew is ginseng, ginseng is for qi, you are afraid that your body is too weak to be replenished." ”

"What? Auntie, why did you suddenly stew ginseng chicken? ”

"You can replenish your body, especially Shen Hong, you see that he has lost weight, I specially went to collect the ginseng, several sticks, and kept the back one until the second pillar came back, and everyone will eat it together."

Obviously, the second aunt is already too excited to be boundless, and has prepared a bunch of good things to celebrate this New Year.

In this midwinter wax month, the past classics were staged again, Shen Hong returned to Beijing, two dogs and two pillars made merits, three bachelors attracted the attention of people in Beijing, everyone inquired, they all knew that the key to this Shen Hong was Lin Piao, Ergou's family was not in Beijing, Lin Piao could also call the shots in many things, Erzhu's mother was in Beijing, but Lin Piao was still very affectionate in front of the two of them, so they invited Lin Piao and the second aunt to go out.

Lin Piao was afraid of pretending to be dead, and the second aunt took a heroic step again for the marriage of the second pillar.

When Shen Hong returned to Beijing, it was like having a backbone in his family, and Ergou was already a little confused, and after Shen Hong returned, he communicated with him a lot about these things.

However, they tend to avoid the family a little, and they don't meet in the study to talk to each other during meals.

Shen Hong listened to him talk about the causes and consequences, and groaned slightly: "Did you say how much the stolen money was at that time?" ”

"No, I'll just give them the big heads, but I guess there should be a lot, otherwise they won't be moved when they hear this."

Shen Hong shook his head: "It's not that they want to agree to this matter because of the money, otherwise they have to ask at least how much, and afterwards they don't take credit, and they are not angry with you, which means that this matter is a trouble for them, and even if you destroy it, they don't think there is anything wrong with this." ”

"It's because I'm too impulsive and think things simply, and your idea is that they don't care about money, they care about power and people."

"Yes, but it can't be said that it's your fault, in that case, if you don't do such a thing, I'm afraid this matter will be gently exposed, I checked it for you, he had a close relationship with the Ling family in his early years, but the Ling family no longer has such a prestige, so it won't be like this."

Those slippery heads picked themselves cleanly, and the good or bad always fell on the second dog.

Ergou thought for a while: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, anyway, we don't know what the problem is, and we will know who it is when the time comes. ”

Ergou thought to himself, now that Shen Hong has returned to Beijing, Erzhu has made military achievements, and he has done something, the three of them can stand up, so why not be afraid of wind and waves.

Thinking like this, it was very soon the day when Erzhu returned to Beijing, and they went to the streets to see the excitement, and saw their procession returning to Beijing, with the generals riding tall horses and armor and scales in front of them, and many lieutenant generals behind them, and then the sons and daughters who had returned from joining the army in Beijing.

They looked for a while, but Juan'er still embroidered her eyes and pointed in one direction: "There, there, Brother Erzhu." ”

They hurried to look over, and saw that Erzhu was also riding on the horse, and he looked very decent in the crowd, and he looked much more mature, and his skin was already dark, so that he did not feel tanned, but only looked more majestic and vicissitudes.

Erzhu watched and listened to all directions, swept them, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he smiled at them, and waved to them vigorously on his horse.

They also waved vigorously at him, knowing that he was going to go to his life first, and the emperor might give them a banquet next.

Erzhu couldn't leave the team to find them, but he didn't forget to shout at them excitedly on the horse: "Mother! Little sister-in-law! Juan'er girl! Satsuki girl! ”

The second aunt looked at him excitedly and couldn't help crying, and Juan'er and Xiaoyue hurried to comfort her.

The team walked slowly, Erzhu turned his head to look at them, and Lin Piao made a gesture to him to go, telling him not to worry.

When the team left, they didn't need Lin Piao's persuasion, and the people next to them found out that the second aunt was Erzhu's mother, and they all came up and persuaded directly: "Isn't your son coming back well, and he has become a big hero, how powerful." ”

"Don't cry, come back with all your beards and tails, no less, crying is unlucky."

The second aunt wiped her tears: "I'm happy to see him, not because of anything else." ”

Although the people around him were well-intentioned, some of them had a very strict attitude and ordered the second aunt not to cry, so Lin Piao stepped forward and grabbed the second aunt's arm and brought the person out first, and they went home first to stay and wait for the second pillar to come back.

The second aunt cooked the meal at home, and when Erzhu came back to eat, Lin Piao persuaded her not to do it: "Erzhu must have a banquet to eat outside, so I'll wait for him to come back tomorrow." ”

"How is this the same, when he comes back, he has to eat well, he can eat again, he eats outside and comes back, he always has to come back in the evening after the banquet, Ming'er will still have two more good meals, let's also have a reunion dinner."

When Shen Hong returned in the evening, seeing that the family had done a lot of work, they first ate dinner, then sat down to talk and play games together, and waited for Erzhu to come back, so that they could have supper together.

Shen Hong didn't have much to do tonight, this afternoon the emperor set up a banquet to entertain the two pillars, and he was specially to meet and entertain the military generals, and the ministers rarely attended, and Shen Hong's current status was in the Ministry of Water Resources, so naturally he couldn't get involved.

After they had eaten, Xiao Yue and Juan'er turned over the flower rope and whispered together, Ergou and Da Zhuang hooked their shoulders together, Lin Piao and Shen Hong sat in a corner and talked.

"Recently, when you go home, you have seen that you have come back a little, but you have only been out for a few months, and you have lost a lot of weight."

"The food at home tastes good, and naturally it is not comparable to the outside."

Shen Hong attributed thinness to a problem of taste, rather than a lack of food and clothing.

"You leave Rong Bi and Lan Hui over there, nothing will happen."

"No, I sent someone to send them some grain, rice, noodles and winter daily necessities a few years ago, and I took care of the local affairs with them little by little, because I was afraid that if there was a change in my absence, things over there would not go well, so I handed them over, but I didn't expect the order to come so suddenly."

"It's good that you keep them, after all, it's the people you brought up, and no matter who takes them over when the time comes, the big deal will still be on your head after all, and you won't teach others to pick peaches."

The two of them talked softly, and after a while, the second aunt came in again and brought in red bean milk tea.

The second aunt was as industrious as a little bee, anxious to wait for Erzhu to eat, busy coming in and out, and knowing that they had been waiting for a long time, she served them snacks in advance.

The softly boiled red beans were thrown into the milk tea, a small one, and placed on the table, Shen Hong lowered his head and glanced at it, and raised his hand to push it towards Lin Piao.

"Here you go."

Lin Piao said: "It's okay, there must be more in the kitchen,"

"Red beans."

Lin Piao looked at Shen Hong with some surprise, met his smiling eyes, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze to look at the people sitting at the table, Xiao Yue and Juan'er were still lying on the table with their chins propped up, Ergou and Da Zhuang were still talking with their shoulders on their backs, and no one paid attention to what they were talking about.

Lin Piao looked sideways at Shen Hong, raised his eyebrows, and didn't say anything.

Shen Hong's smile deepened, and he didn't speak, just looked at him with his eyes.

Lin Piao glanced at the tea cup on the table, and the one he handed over, took a small spoon and ate it in one bite.

Shen Hong didn't speak, but tapped his knuckles on the table, which attracted Lin Piao's attention, and Lin Piao glanced over and saw Shen Hong reach out and pick up the teacup on his side.

Everything seemed to be fine, and the two of them were just drinking milk tea.

Although there was no sound behind him, Ergou was already a little stunned when he heard the words "red bean" for you, and he didn't dare to look back for fear of being discovered.

In fact, he has a detail that he has not been kind to ask, that is, Shen Hong has been using an old handkerchief since he came back outside, if Ergou is not mistaken, a few months ago the sister-in-law also had a handkerchief like this, a summer thing, so it is embroidered with a very small pattern pattern, a little golden cinnamon fragrance, goose yellow flowers are elegant, there is no large embroidery, it will not make people think that it is a woman's handkerchief at a glance, but it is obviously not like something that Shen Hong will use.

Alas...... It's numb.

Lin Piao was eating milk tea, and when he saw that Shen Hong had to change the tea, he thought to himself that this kid was very sullen when he looked at the light wind and the moon.

"Is it delicious?" Lin Piao asked him lightly.

Shen Hong nodded slightly, put down the teacup and commented very pertinently: "The taste is extremely good." ”

Ergou's heart: I want to close my ears.

They waited for a long time, and the moon came out, and Erzhu returned home in the moonlight and the cold air all over his body.

He had already taken off his clothes and was wearing his homecoming clothes, and when he arrived at the door, someone outside had already come to report, and the second aunt ran out to greet him first.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, everyone met, and the second pillar came up and hugged the second aunt fiercely, and hugged him excitedly: "Mother!" I'm back! ”

Then let go and rushed to Lin Piao: "Little sister-in-law, you haven't slept yet, you're waiting for me!" ”

Seeing this, Ergou stepped forward to block him: "What are you doing, hug me first." ”

"you, who's tired with you."

"You hug your little sister-in-law, do you have a good idea?"

Erzhu scratched his head, he was not as tiger as before when he got older, and he knew that it was not suitable when he was reminded, so he said hello with a grin, greeted everyone, and then went into the house with Ergou Da Zhuang shoulder to shoulder.
