Chapter 417 Did I Guess Wrong?
Most of the people living on this street are rich and powerful, and there are not many pedestrians.

Shen Liuzhen stood in front of the gate, looking at the huge plaque above his head.The lips under the veiled hat curled into a curve, and she smiled beautifully.

Immediately, he walked up the stairs and knocked lightly on the door knocker above him a few times.

After a while, a young concierge opened the corner door, poked his head out, and looked at the person standing at the door. He was tall and well-proportioned, with a graceful demeanor, but wearing a drapery hat, looking mysterious, so he became vigilant , asked unfriendly:
"Who is it?"

Shen Liuzhen separated the gauze from the veiled hat, flipped it over the brim, and smiled at the concierge brother.

He was born good-looking, such a show of face made the concierge brother stunned for a moment, and praised his good looks in his heart.

But it hasn't waited for him to recover from the astonishment.Hearing this handsome young gentleman speak surprisingly, he said:
"I'm Shen Liuzhen, the son of your Shen Guozhu... At present, I'm still the only son, right?"

The concierge brother looked at Shen Liuzhen's smiling face, and suddenly realized that this person's big eyes were indeed somewhat similar to those of his master.

Think again: I heard that the master's son was an official in front of the Emperor Wei... this...

He suddenly became flustered, looked at Shen Liuzhen and stammered and said, "This... please wait a moment, sir, I will report... I will report."

The concierge brother trotted all the way to Shen Qingzhi's side, seeing him playing chess with the eunuch in the palace, the panic in his heart became more tense.

I thought: I don’t know how the emperor of the Song Dynasty would react if he knew that the officials of the Wei Kingdom had come back swaggeringly.

So, he forced himself to calm down a bit, and wanted to go to Shen's father and whisper in his ear.But Shen Qingzhi refused and asked him to speak face to face.

The concierge brother looked at Eunuch He, smiled awkwardly, and thought: This is what you asked me to say, but I didn't expose it...

"There is a little gentleman outside the door asking to see...say, he is your son."

"What?! Really?" Father Shen stood up when he heard this, left Eunuch He behind, and walked outside.

Eunuch He's eyes flickered, and he said to Father Shen:
"You can stay here. It's fine to let someone come in. How can a father go to welcome his son?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingzhi stumbled, turned around hesitantly, and walked back in compromise. Da Ma Jin Dao sat down on his seat and said:

"Forget it, please come in quickly, go quickly."

The concierge brother's eyes were full of surprise, he couldn't understand why the father-in-law in the palace reacted like this, anyway, he went after receiving the order.

Liu Qinbing drove the carriage into the gate, and Shen Liuzhen followed the porter one step ahead, and walked into the inner courtyard with a veiled hat.

After bypassing a block of rockery and flowers, he saw his father looking forward to it.

He has seen his father's changes with his own eyes, and it's a lie that he won't be shocked.

In his heart, his father was still as fierce and strong as he was when he was a child, but he suddenly changed his appearance, with white hair on his head, loose skin, and lost so much weight, it was unbearable for a while, and his eyes began to feel sore.

However, he hadn't fully expressed his emotions yet. As his eyes widened and he saw another person on the far left, a short eunuch, he stopped in his tracks.Turning to watch the eunuch intently.

Eunuch He also saw him, examining the rumored young man.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two was a little weird.Only his father, Shen Qingzhi, was still immersed in the joy of reunion after a long absence, he couldn't think about anything, he walked over directly, hugged Shen Liuzhen in his arms, beat his back excitedly, and said with a choked voice:
"Liuzhen, my son... I've grown taller, as tall as I am... That's great, that's great."

Only then did Shen Liuzhen regain his senses from the vigilant stiffness, to be precise, he recovered from the pain.

He lowered his eyes, coughed exaggeratedly twice, and shouted: "Daddy...you hurt me, it hurts..."

Only then did Shen Qingzhi hastily loosen his arms, and instead held his shoulders with both hands, looked him up and down, and said with a complicated expression:

"Hehe...Bai Chang is so big, why is he not as strong as a child? I beat you so much that you couldn't get out of bed when you were a child, and you never cried out that it hurts."

Shen Liuzhen took off the veiled hat on his head, and said helplessly:
"Father, outsiders are still here, can you save some face for your son?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhi seemed to have just remembered that Eunuch He was still present, turned around, pulled Shen Liuzhen over and introduced:

"Eunuch He, this is my son, Shen Liuzhen.... Liuzhen, this is my best friend, uncle."

Shen Liuzhen raised his hand, bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows, and his wide sleeves formed a door in front of him, and said:
"Liu Zhen met Uncle He."

Eunuch He put his hand in front of him, with a loving smile on his face, he turned to Shen Qingzhi and said:
"I didn't expect that your son was born with a dignified appearance and gentle manners. I really didn't expect that you, a vulgar person, could give birth to such a son. This is not a good incense for the ancestors. What do you dislike?"

Father Shen smiled heartily, without giving Shen Zhen any face, and said, "What's the use of a good-looking man, an embroidered pillow."

"You are just dissatisfied." Eunuch He rolled his eyes at Shen Qingzhi and said, nodding at him.

"Hahahaha... Sit down, let's sit down and talk." Shen Qingzhi was obviously very happy, with disgust on his lips, but there were faint tears in Shen Liuzhen's eyes.

And Shen Liuzhen's current thoughts are all disturbed by this unexpected Eunuch He, and he ruthlessly ignores the emotional interaction with his own father.

So in the eyes of outsiders, it appears extremely indifferent, alienated, and unkind.

Eunuch He watched him from the sidelines for a while, and asked first, "...what is the reason why Mr. Xiao Lang came back all the way?"

With a smile on his face, Shen Liuzhen said, "Of course there is something very important, and I just need to find Uncle He."

Hearing this, Eunuch He glanced at Shen Qingzhi in surprise, and Shen Qingzhi also looked surprised, looking at Shen Liuzhen.

Eunuch He asked: "Looking for me?... Isn't it the first time we meet today?"

Shen Liuzhen smiled and said: "It's the first time we met, but you are my father's best friend, so you know where I am making a living and what I do now. But my father met me and did not shy away from you. You were not surprised at all." .It means...you are the late emperor's confidant, and you really know what I'm doing."

Hearing this, Eunuch He smiled meaningfully and said:

"You are quite courageous, so you are not afraid of guessing wrong. You put yourself in danger by saying such a lot of inexplicable things to an insignificant person?"

Shen Liuzhen was confident, and asked with a smile: "Then dare to ask, did I guess wrong?"
