meet again

Chapter 636

Shen Xu and Yuan Yue's wedding date is scheduled for February 26 next year.As a real father, Shen You couldn't miss the great event of his son's marriage.He wrote a memorial years ago, and he was going to take a half-year long vacation to return to Beijing.

Emperor Qing'an had no reason not to allow it.

As soon as the first month passed, Shen You and Feng Shaojun took their daughter Shen Hao on their way back to Beijing.

It has been 15 years since the day I left the capital.

Today, he finally came back.

Shen You rode his horse to stop outside the majestic and tall city gate, staring silently with a lot of thoughts.

"Mother," Shen Hao looked at his father with his head, and then asked Feng Shaojun in a low voice: "What is Dad looking at there?"

Feng Shaojun smiled: "Look at the passing years."

As time goes by, things change and people change.

Shen You quickly withdrew his gaze, turned his head and smiled at Feng Shaojun's mother and daughter, "Let's go home."

Feng Shaojun nodded with a smile.

As soon as he entered the city gate, he saw the old butler of Shen's residence courteously.

After more than ten years of absence, the old housekeeper immediately turned red when he saw Shen You, and cried out, "Fourth Young Master is finally back".Shen You had a sore nose, and stepped forward to help the old housekeeper.

Along the way, every time Shen You thought of Emperor Qing'an in the palace, his emotions would surge, which was unpleasant.At this moment, all these chaotic thoughts were left behind.Only filled with the joy of being reunited with the family soon.

Shen You couldn't wait to get on his horse, and rode all the way back to Shen's residence.

From a long distance, they saw the familiar vermilion gate of Shen's residence.Standing at the main entrance to welcome them were second uncle Shen Mao, aunt Dafeng, Shen Motong and others.There is also a tall and handsome young man.

"Father! Mother! Sister!"

Shen Xu hadn't seen his own father for several years, and at this moment his heart was surging, he walked over quickly, knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Shen You was so excited that he pulled his son up: "Get up quickly."

The gray-haired Mrs. Feng also came over, crying and hugging Shen You: "Siro! You are finally back! You have been away for more than ten years, and I want to kill my aunt!"

Shen You's eyes were red, and he hugged Da Feng tightly: "It's because I was not filial, I failed to honor my aunt properly."

Da Feng was crying and laughing, holding Shen You's hand and refusing to let go: "Just come back. There are still ten days, and it will be the big day for Brother Xu to get married. It's just in time for you to come back."

Shen Mao, who has retired from office, has gray hair and beard, but his waist is still straight.He looked at Shen You with relief: "Silang, follow me to the ancestral hall and offer a stick of incense to your father."

Shen You nodded in response.

For more than ten years, Shen Mao would go to his elder brother's memorial tablet to offer a stick of incense every New Year's day.

Later, Shen Xu returned to the capital.Every time Shen Mao burned incense, he would bring Shen Xu into the ancestral hall.

"Brother, open your eyes and see that Shiro is back." Shen Mao choked with sobs in a low voice: "Silang is now a second-rank general, guarding the border, a pillar of the country, and shining in the family. With such a good son, the eldest brother can rest in peace." .”

There was a flash of water in Shen You's eyes, he kowtowed three times respectfully, and burned a stick of incense.

This whole life, he has been Shen You, the son of Shen Rong.

……

"Report to the emperor, General Shen has returned."

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the princes and fathers who were nearly fifty years old reported respectfully.

Emperor Qing'an on the dragon chair continued to read the memorial without raising his head: "I know."

Wang Gonggong caught a sharp glimpse of the emperor's hand holding the memorial trembling slightly, and couldn't help but think to himself, General Shen is really a holy family!

Soon, His Royal Highness came down.

"Father, Shen You has returned to the capital." Zhu Yun said with a smile: "My son, this is why people call him into the palace. My son has been separated from him for several years, and my father has not seen him for more than ten years, right? "

Emperor Qing'an was in a complicated mood, and it was difficult to speak out for a while.

Zhu Yun didn't wait for Emperor Qing'an to answer, so he called Wang Gonggong over: "You immediately go to Shen's residence and tell General Shen to bring his wife and children into the palace together. Just say that father and I want to see them."

The prince took the order to retreat.

Only then did Emperor Qing'an suddenly come to his senses: "They have just returned to Beijing, and they are too eager to be summoned into the palace today. They should be allowed to rest for a few days."

What a duplicity.Obviously, I am very worried.

Zhu Yun slandered in his heart, and said with a smile: "I'm really thinking about it, so we'll see each other first."

Emperor Qing'an also remained silent.

Eunuch Wang handled his affairs swiftly, and within an hour of coming and going, Shen You's family of four entered the palace.

Shen Xu has been an accompanying student for several years and is very familiar with the palace.When entering the palace gate, he specifically asked Shen Hao: "After entering, watch more and talk less, and stay by my side. Don't be afraid, I have everything by me."

This breath is so loud that it almost blows into the sky.

Feng Shaojun couldn't stop laughing, and turned to look at Shen You.

After Shen You stepped into the palace gate, he was restless and in a daze.

For more than ten years, it seems to have stood still.The palace in front of me is still the same as it used to be, it hasn't changed at all.

He walked slowly along the long corridor, walked across the spacious and flat jade floor, waited for a while outside the majestic Hall of Supreme Harmony, and then entered the hall.

"Chen You, I have met the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Shen You knelt down and saluted.

Zhu Yun stepped forward and personally helped Shen You up.The two were close at hand and met each other face to face.Zhu Yun smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for so many years, but you are still so handsome."

The inexplicably heavy atmosphere was diluted a lot by this joke.

Shen You smiled, and looked up at the emperor on the dragon chair.

Emperor Qing'an, who was nearly sixty years old, was already old.There are white hairs on the head, white beard, wrinkles on the forehead and the corners of the eyes, and the eyes are not as sharp as before.There is a touch of tolerance that belongs to the elderly.

Emperor Qing'an was also looking at Shen You.

Shen You is 37 years old this year, in his prime as a man.His career as a military commander all the year round made his demeanor even more majestic and solemn.The cold wind at the border did not make Shen You old, but only made him mature and handsome.

Zhu Yun winked, and retreated first by himself, and the servants in the hall and the emperor's personal guards also retreated.

Only Emperor Qing'an and Shen You were left silently facing each other.

15 years.

Shen You left in a rage back then, vowing in his heart never to come back.Emperor Qing'an also thought that he would never see Shen You again in his life.

But I never thought that we could meet again today.

After a long time, Emperor Qing'an opened his mouth to break the silence: "Shen You, how have you been doing these years?"

Shen You replied: "Going back to the emperor, the minister is like a duck to water in the frontier army, living a very good life."

A gleam of relief flashed in Emperor Qing'an's eyes: "That's good." After a pause, he said again: "In a blink of an eye, brother Xu is going to get married too. Haoer will be ready this year!"

Shen You opened his mouth and said yes.

Still the same as before, he can answer with one word, and never say the second word.

Emperor Qing'an smiled: "You have lived in the capital for half a year, and when Brother Xu gets married, you can bring them back to the border city together! In the past few years, Brother Xu has been with you, and I am very relieved."

Now, it's time for Shen Xu to go back.

Shen You cupped his hands and thanked En: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Next, it was relatively silent again.

It's not that Shen You is resentful and deliberately negligent, it's that he has never been good at chatting.After so many years, it is still the same.

Emperor Qing'an took a deep look at Shen You, and said with a smile, "Shen You, I am very happy that you can come today."

They can never recognize each other as father and son.

Just being in one place, talking calmly as a monarch and minister, is already very good.

Shen You cupped his hands again: "I sincerely hope that the emperor will be in good health, and that the great Qi will last forever."

Well, Shen You's temper cannot be changed in this life.

Emperor Qing'an couldn't help laughing: "Forget it, you don't like to talk, and I won't embarrass you anymore. I know that you are living well, that's enough. You should step down first!"

Shen You obviously breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his hands and left.

Emperor Qing'an watched Shen You's tall and handsome figure go away, the corners of his mouth raised.
