pet marriage

The Shen residence had already received the news, and everyone was busy up and down. The butler, Shen Fu, had a smile on his face, and his steps were a little brisk.

He nodded towards the servant who hurriedly saluted him, and walked towards the main courtyard without stopping.

A few days ago, it rained in Yangzhou, and the weather suddenly turned cold overnight. Father Shen's legs were already weak. As a result, his mental state was even worse, and he often fell asleep drowsily. The news of the imminent return became more sober.

Shen Fu just received the news that the young ladies have arrived at the city gate and will be returning home in a short time, so he has to tell the master the good news quickly.

Seeing Shen Fu coming over, the kid guarding outside the master bedroom hurriedly saluted him, Shen Fu nodded and asked, "Master, are you awake?"

The kid nodded and said: "Master reckons that it will be only two days before the eldest ladies come back, so they woke up early today."

Shen Fu felt relieved, knocked on the door, and only after hearing the response did he gently open the door and go in, reporting the rare good news.

On the other side, Shen Mingshu and his group had already entered Yangzhou City. Yangzhou City had always been prosperous, and it was even busier these days as the New Year approached.

Luo Xin raised the corner of the curtain, and looked curiously at the jugglers outside.

Seeing that she was looking seriously, Shen Mingshu chuckled and said, "Let's go home first, and I'll take you out to play later. At night, this person will be even more lively."

As she was talking, she coughed a few times, Luo Xin hurriedly put down the curtain that was raised at a corner, and patted her on the back lightly, "No need, I'll just take a look from a distance."

On the way back, Shen Mingshu accidentally caught a cold. Fortunately, after drinking the medicine for a few days, she was already better, but she still coughed occasionally.

Luo Xin blamed herself a little, and she was also very concerned about Shen Mingshu's body, hoping that she would get better soon every day.

The carriage drove through the flat street and turned on the road to Shen's house. Those who went to the capital were all the servants of the family. After several months, they came back, and they couldn't help being anxious, but after a while, they arrived at the gate of Shen's house.

The housekeeper, Shen Fu, had already been waiting at the door with his servants, and happily stepped forward to greet them as they got off the carriage and stepped into the door. The servants at the door immediately lit the firecrackers in their hands and threw them at the door.

With the crackling sound, Luo Xin was startled, and couldn't help but tighten Shen Mingshu's hand.

Shen Mingshu frowned slightly, stopped, and covered Luo Xin's ears with both hands.

Luo Xin looked up at her, her heart warmed up, and then realized that there were other people there, she looked around with shy eyes, Shen Qingyue turned her head away from them, while Shen Qingjia looked at them with a smile.

Luo Xin held Shen Mingshu's hand, shook it, gently pulled her hand down, and said with a blushing face, "Thank you, sister."

After a while, the sound of firecrackers outside the door disappeared, and Shen Mingshu stepped up and led a group of people inside.

The butler followed them with a smile, and just now when Luo Xin got out of the carriage, he noticed that it was different from the rumors, judging by the appearance of the young masters and ladies, they seemed to be pretty good kids.

When Shen Mingshu and his party arrived at the main hall, Father Shen had already been waiting, and when he saw them coming in, he had a kind smile on his face.

Shen Mingshu brought Luo Xin forward to salute. Luo Xin is a bride passing by. Although the wedding was held in the capital, there are still some rules that cannot be avoided.

Shen Mingshu and Luo Xin knelt in front of Shen's father, and the housekeeper came over with a cup of tea. Shen Mingshu raised his hand to test the temperature before handing it to Luo Xin.

When she got married, Luo Xin learned this rule and kept it firmly in mind along the way. She held the teacup in both hands, raised her arm, and put it in front of Shen's father, lowering her gaze, and said seriously: "Daddy, please have some tea. "

Father Shen looked at the little girl kneeling down with emotion, and after only a few glances, he could see the outline of some old people. Not long after Shen Mingshu arrived in the capital, he sent back the news of Qiu Wanniang's death, which made him feel a little melancholy.

Seeing that Father Shen hadn't taken the teacup, Luo Xin, who was already a little nervous, gradually felt a little flustered, her raised arm went numb from fingertips, and the next moment, the teacup in her hand was taken over by a pair of broad hands. A gentle and low voice sounded from above, "Get up."

Shen Mingshu helped Luo Xin stand up, and stepped aside, Shen Qingyue and Shen Qingjia stepped forward to salute.

Luo Xin looked at Shen's father quietly, and blinked. Shen's father's appearance has lost a lot in recent years, but through the outline of his eyebrows, he can still see the resemblance to Shen Mingshu, and there is an elder's kind smile on his face , so she couldn't help but slow down.

This trip, everyone was very tired, and after a quick conversation, Shen's father saw that Shen Qingjia was yawning, so he urged them to go back to the room to rest.

Shen Mingshu still had something to say to Father Shen, so she could only order Lan Yin to send Luo Xin back to her room first.

When everyone dispersed, only Father Shen, Shen Mingshu and a few servants were left in the hall. Shen Mingshu raised his hand to take a wooden box from Shen Li, put it on the table beside Father Shen, and said, "Father, here is the box." It's a family recipe of the Qiu family."

Father Shen's expression became slightly serious, he opened the box, took out the booklet with both hands, put it in front of his eyes but didn't open it for a long time, he just sighed for a long time, looked up at Shen Mingshu, and said, "Since you married Luo Xin, this You can take this cookbook."

Shen Mingshu was taken aback, and Father Shen smiled, and said: "I'm a useless person, holding this is useless, among you three brothers and sisters, you are the only one who is interested in our family's cooking skills, so it's better to put it in your hands. "

Shen Mingshu could only accept it, put it back into the wooden box, handed it to Shen Li, and said softly: "This time you went to Beijing, Qingyue Qingjia brought you a lot of things, all of which are in the car, and the housekeeper will sort them out later. Alright, take it to your room."

Father Shen responded with a smile, he knew his child, although Shen Mingshu didn't mention himself, but he definitely had a share.

Shen Mingshu and Father Shen were talking about Beijing, and couldn't help coughing a few times. Seeing her cough, Father Shen frowned and asked a few words, asking the housekeeper to invite the doctor.

Shen Mingshu hurriedly stopped him, coughed and said: "I've already looked for a doctor on the way, and I've taken most of the medicine for the past few days, so I'm fine." She didn't intend to make Father Shen worry too much.

Shen's father sighed, no longer persisting, just said: "In this case, then you should go back to rest earlier."

Shen Mingshu got up and saluted respectfully, and then retreated. Father Shen looked at her leaving back, his eyes were slightly gloomy, as if he blamed himself a little.

When Shen Mingshu entered the courtyard, there was no change from when he left. It was obvious that the servants took good care of him. When she walked to the door, she heard voices from the master bedroom. It seemed that Luo Xin hadn't gone to bed yet.
