"Daughter, do you miss daddy? Daddy misses you very much. By the way, daddy brought you a lot of fun little things."
Shen Hong walked into the house holding Ruan Ruan. After not seeing her for nearly twenty days, he felt that his daughter had changed a lot. She had gained weight, height, and appearance.
He suddenly felt very sad that he had missed his daughter's growth.
"Diedie, Aluaalu..." Ruan Ruan waved his little hands and babbling, and chirped at Shen Hong's face with a smile.
"Oh, my daughter kissed me. Hahaha——" He smiled with joy and shouted at his wife and sons.
"My daughter didn't know how to kiss me before I left home. After returning home after 20 days, the little girl actually kissed me. Don't envy me. My daughter loves me more."
Cheng Yurong and Shen Zhiyuan rolled their eyes. His face was expressionless, as if he didn't hear what he said.
"Why didn't you respond? You still looked very arrogant." Shen Hong was a little confused by the two-foot-long monk.
Cheng Yurong leaned closer to Ruan Ruan and raised her finger to point at her face.
Ruan Ruan understood instantly, leaned over, hugged his mother's face, and gave her a smack.
"Ruan Ruan is so good, you are really a good baby of your mother."
"Liang Liang~"
"Little sister, give me a kiss for my second brother." Shen Zhiqing also leaned over and was kissed by Ruan Ruan on the cheek, and said to Shen Hong with a proud face. wink.
"Sister, fifth brother also wants a kiss." Shen Zhicheng walked to Shen Hong and jumped up.
Ruan Ruan also cooperated very well. When he jumped up, she pouted her little mouth and kissed him directly on the cheek.
Shen Zhiyu and Shen Zhiji were itching to see it. Their sister kissed the whole family except them two.
"I want it too, sister, kiss me."
"Kiss me, kiss me, sister kiss me first."
"One kiss is not enough, sister, kiss the third brother a few more times."
"Sister, kiss the fourth brother, okay? I want to kiss the fourth brother a few more times, too. , Otherwise it's not fair."
"..." Shen Hong's heart broke when he saw his daughter licking the face of the third and fourth child.
I bet he was the last one to be kissed by his daughter.
...
Entering the hall, Shen Hong sat listlessly on a chair to rest.
Cheng Yurong had no time to pay attention to him, and was busy asking the servants to move the luggage of the three father and son back to their respective yards for the servants to tidy up.
After Shen Zhiyu and Shen Zhiji held Ruan Ruan a cup of tea, they went back to their respective courtyards to bathe and change clothes.
Although they had taken a bath before entering the capital, they were afraid of bringing the virus back.
Shen Hong reluctantly separated from Ruan Ruan and returned to the yard to bathe and change clothes.
Ruan Ruan was held in a wheelchair by Shen Zhiyuan, playing with a rattle.
Cheng Yurong went to the big kitchen to arrange tonight's reunion dinner.
The whole government was busy.
Because not only the master wants to have a reunion dinner, but also more than a hundred servants in the whole house have to have a reunion dinner together.
Shen Hong and Cheng Yurong have always been tolerant and kind to their servants, never harsh on them, let alone beating or scolding them for trivial matters.
But the two couples also have principles and clear rewards and punishments.
Like Shen Zhiqing's original book boy Shen Hua, Shen Zhiyu's original book boy.
The two students are still in the dungeon. They were tortured once at the beginning. After getting the confession, they have been kept in the dark dungeon and given two meals of pig food a day.
...
The sky is dark, the whole capital is brightly lit, and red lanterns are hung in every house.
The General's Mansion was no exception, with hundreds of lanterns hung inside and outside.
There is no wind tonight and the moon is round and big.
The Shen family's reunion dinner is placed in the pavilion of the large garden and lotus pond, where you can eat delicious food and admire the moon and lotus flowers.
After the Shen family members took their seats, they all raised a glass of osmanthus wine to toast.
Ruan Ruan sat on his dining chair and could only smell the scent of osmanthus wine filling the air with his nose. "Hehe~啾啾~" means that she also wants to "drink".
Shen Hong's family pretended not to hear.
After finishing a drink, they all took their seats.
Ruan Ruan:? ? ? No one cares about me?
Ah -
where is the law of heaven?
Shen Hong picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of chicken into Cheng Yurong's bowl. He smiled softly and said, "Madam, you have worked hard these years."
"You have worked hard too." She put a piece of elbow meat into his bowl. It is the food he has loved to eat since he was a child.
The dish of braised pork knuckles was something she went into the big kitchen to prepare for two hours today.
The five brothers Shen Zhiyuan picked up the serving chopsticks and put the vegetables into their mother's bowl to express their gratitude to their mother.
They also filled Shen Hong with a glass of osmanthus wine or served some vegetables.
On the table are ginseng chicken soup, soft pork knuckles, fresh and sweet steamed fish and Longjing shrimps, a roast chicken, a roast duck, steamed crabs, Buddha jumping over the wall, roasted sea cucumbers with green onions...
twelve hot dishes and three cold dishes. .
There was also a plate of moon cakes, a Mid-Autumn cake, a plate of pastries, and
a plate of sliced apples, peeled pomegranates, and peeled grapefruit meat on the table...
Ruan Ruan was anxious when he saw his family starting to eat meat.
Because there was only a bowl of chestnut chicken soup, meat porridge, egg custard, a bowl of fruit, and a plate of pastries on her dining chair.
Compared with the "Man-Han banquet", her meal tonight was too shabby.
"Alu... breasts times~ Alu... gugu... times~" Ruan Ruan kept talking, but the Shen family couldn't understand.
This made her anxious.
[I want to eat meat, mother, father, eldest brother~second brother...]
[Give me a piece of elbow meat! very hungry. ]
[I want to eat roast chicken ~ Third brother ~ Fourth brother...]
Dozens of thoughts kept bombarding the Shen family, making them no longer in the mood to eat.
Shen Hong picked up a piece of roasted chicken wing and quietly placed it on Ruan Ruan's dining chair, peeking at his wife to see if she noticed.
Cheng Yurong naturally saw it, how could he not see it from the side.
She had no choice but to pretend not to see it. It was a big holiday, so it was better not to scold her husband!
The five Shen Zhiyuan brothers also pretended not to see it, and then each one took turns picking up a piece of meat and secretly giving it to Ruan Ruan.
So, that night, she filled her belly with food.
After the reunion dinner, the family drank scented tea and ate mooncakes.
They admired the fifteenth full moon in the pavilion, the remaining lotuses filling the pond in early autumn, and the colorful chrysanthemums.
The family was chatting, and Shen Hong suddenly started talking to them about the situation in the disaster area.
"The corpses that appeared at several water sources led to a widespread outbreak of plague and tens of thousands of people died.
The case was not solved. I didn't find the culprit. I only found two pieces of evidence, one was a half-footprint and the other was scratched beside a well. The cloth."
He sighed and lowered his head, shamelessly facing the emperor and the victims.
Shen Zhiyuan and others looked solemn.
My father's responsibility is to investigate the unsolved case of a large-scale plague outbreak. If the murderer is not found, he will definitely be punished and his career will be affected.
Although he brought 50,000 kilograms of medicinal materials and plague prescriptions to save hundreds of thousands of people and solved the plague disaster, the scholar-bureaucrats and civil officials would never let him go.
Ruan Ruan laughed and ate the moon cake, but complained in his heart:
[Of course dad can't find the murderer. This thing was done by a middle-aged man with strong martial arts skills. This man's identity is Turkic, and he is also the fifth prince of the Turkic royal family. middleman. ]
It's still very cold today, the lowest temperature is 6 degrees, located in Guangdong,
