Sitting in the study, Shen Zhong had just learned what had happened from Liu Taiming. Just as he was about to discuss countermeasures with Liu Taiming, a maid hurried forward, her face showing both surprise and excitement, "My lord, my lord, the young master and the young lady are back..."
Shen Zhong, who was about to reprimand the maid, turned pale for a moment after hearing what she said. He immediately stood up and walked out the door. As he walked, he lowered his voice and asked,
"What? Who did you say came back? The young master and the young lady? Are you sure it's both of them, and not just one of them?"
Even though he tried his best to control his voice, there was still a tremor in his voice, and he couldn't hide his excitement at all.
She is finally back. He had been looking forward to it for so long, hoping that the two of them could return to Beijing as soon as possible. His daughter finally came back, but his son went to the Western Regions and never came back for several months. He even thought of sending people directly to the Western Regions to find his son.
But when he was about to do it, he restrained himself.
As an important official of the court, he cannot do this at will. If he wants to send troops to do anything, he must report to His Majesty.
Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, it will probably be blamed on him, which will be very disadvantageous to him.
Sitting in this position, he needs to worry more than ordinary people.
"My Lord, what are you so happy about?"
When Shen Zhong was extremely excited, a voice suddenly interrupted.
He paused, turned his head and looked behind him. After seeing Liu Taiming's face clearly, his excited expression disappeared instantly and he calmed down in an instant.
"Wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon."
His words were not a request, but a direct order.
Hearing these words, Liu Taiming immediately realized something and nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, okay, sir, take your time if you have anything to do."
His time doesn't matter.
Judging from his solemn and excited expression, this must be someone extremely important to him.
He didn't hear clearly what the maid said just now, but he vaguely heard two words.
One of them is a young master and the other is a young lady.
If we contact Shen Zhong's two children, it seems that we can immediately connect the dots.
But he didn't do that. He just stayed where he was and waited for Shen Zhong to come back.
Even if he guessed it right, he couldn't confirm it with the other party.
Because if the other person didn't mention it on his own initiative, he would probably get into trouble if he asked casually.
He has always been cautious and would rather avoid doing such things if possible.
"Ah."
Shen Zhong left immediately after leaving these words.
Liu Taiming stood there and watched from afar.
But before Shen Zhong walked out of his sight, several young men and women suddenly appeared in Liu Taiming's sight.
The young man and woman looked to be very similar in age to her two daughters, except that the girl in front of them was much brighter and more beautiful.
Is she... Minister Shen's daughter?
He had never seen it before.
Liu Taiming stood quietly there, staring into the distance in a daze.
At this moment, Shen Zhong's expression turned ugly for a moment.
He even wanted to speak up and pull Shen Chu and Shen Yi away, but finally gave up and said in a self-deprecating tone, "Chu'er, Xiaoyi, why did you come back together?"
Although he knew that Liu Taiming had seen his daughter, Shen Zhong was still very excited.
The sound is also slightly different from before.
Hearing his father's words, Shen Chu said happily, "My brother passed through Yancheng on his way back to Beijing. I met him in Yancheng."
She put it very simply, leaving out all the stuff that happened in between.
When Shen Yi heard her words, his fingertips hanging at his side moved, but in the end he did not expose her. Instead, he echoed Shen Chu, "That's right, Dad. When I came back from the Western Regions, I passed by Yancheng and met Chu'er in Yancheng. So I went back to the capital with her."
No one took the initiative to mention what happened in between.
Hearing this answer, Shen Zhong nodded in satisfaction. He hadn't seen Xie Ming in the crowd and had some suspicions in his mind, but he didn't ask. He just smiled and pulled the two of them over, holding their hands, and said earnestly, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
Then, his gaze finally turned to Xu San and the others.
He asked Shen Chu, "Chu'er, are these all your friends?"
Shen Chu wanted to respond, but Shen Yi answered a little too quickly, "This is my friend."
As he spoke, he grabbed a person from the crowd and pulled him in front of Shen Zhong.
This person is Lu Wu.
Lu Wu had been stationed at the border for several years, and his appearance had changed a little, but not much. Shen Zhong could still recognize him at a glance, "General Lu? You..."
The second half of his sentence was that you are not dead, but he stopped himself before the words came out.
It’s better to say less of such unlucky words.
Before going to garrison the border, the two brothers Lu Wen and Lu Wu also had to go to court, and they would inevitably meet Shen Zhong, so Shen Zhong had an impression of this face.
It was because of this that he recognized the other person at first sight.
Although Shen Zhong did not finish his words, Lu Wu could easily guess what the other party had not finished saying.
He forced a smile on his face and waved his hand casually, "I know what you want to say, Your Excellency. You can say whatever you want. I won't take it to heart."
"I think the news of my brothers' deaths has spread all over the capital long ago. It's normal for you to be surprised to see me."
Shen Zhong coughed twice and said, "If that's the case, then I guess those things are just rumors."
Hearing this, Lu Wu shook his head again, "It can't be considered a rumor. After all, we were really dying at that time."
"But it's a long story. If His Excellency is interested in this, I can discuss it with you when I have the chance."
A smile appeared on his face and his tone was indifferent.
Hearing this, Shen nodded.
He was not very interested in these things at this time.
It was just a few polite words.
It would be best if Lu Wu doesn't want to say more.
So he went to see the other people, and they were Xu San and his friends.
I think the people that Shen Yi didn’t introduce just now should be Chu’er’s friends.
He stared at Xu San and the others with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Shen Chu also noticed this and took the initiative to step forward, "Dad, this is my friend."
She first introduced Xu San, "This is Xu San, from Qingxi Town, and this is Fu Jinnian, from Taiyin Mountain."
"This is Zhuifeng, also from Mount Taiyin."
When introducing them, Shen Chu's expression was very serious, without any perfunctory attitude.
After hearing Shen Chu say that he was from Qingxi Town, Xu San's expression froze on the spot.
Qingxi Town...
It hadn't been long, but he felt like a lifetime ago.
