The preparations for entering Beijing are almost done. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, the members of the Shen family are also ready to go back. Otherwise, once it snows, there is no way to go back.
"Daddy, are we leaving tomorrow?" Shen Jingshu has spent the most time in Jiangnan since she could remember, and her impression of Jingdu is only from her previous life, which is all those extremely bad memories. Now she is leaving, Shen Jing Shu is really reluctant.
"Well, it's almost Chinese New Year now, and I'm going back just to prepare for the Chinese New Year. Going back at this time can also avoid the roads being frozen."
"I'm really reluctant!" If she could, she really hoped that she could stay here forever and live a carefree life. But how could she just give up on those memories of her previous life? What's more, those people, if they say they don't care, will they give up
Of course not!
"It's just that we can't bear to come back if we have the opportunity in the future. This is our home after all!" Knowing that Shen Jingshu has a deep affection for this place, Shen Wenhua can't say much.
"Well, good!" With a smile, Shen Jingshu retracted the reluctance in her heart, now it's time to say goodbye, and she is ready to leave, the only thing Shen Jingshu is reluctant to part with is the people here.
"Sister, are we going to the capital? Are we not coming back?" Shen Zihan is now more than eight years old, and he looks more and more cute. He has been hearing that he is going to leave these days, and he is the one who is most reluctant up.
It has been here since he could remember, Shen Zihan really didn't want to leave.
"Well, we're going back to see grandma, and we'll live in Kyoto forever."
"Then shall we come back?"
"There is a chance, Zihan, are you reluctant?"
"Well, I'm a bit reluctant, but I heard from my master that there are better masters in Beijing, many of which are the best, and I want to go and have a look." It's the first time I leave a familiar place and go to a strange place. To be honest, Shen Zihan was really reluctant.
"Well, the master is right. You are getting older now. Going to the capital is also very good for you." Shen Zihan has been smart since he was a child. Although he has not been in the capital these years, as Shen Wenhua's eldest son, Shen Wenhua naturally She placed great expectations on Shen Zihan's education and never let her down. He also invited a very talented teacher to teach him. Although Shen Zihan is only eight years old now, he has already passed the children's examination and won the first place. He is also well-known in the south of the Yangtze River. However, Shen Wenhua didn't want his son to show his sharpness, so he didn't let Shen Zihan continue the exam. He just let him concentrate on learning and learn the principles of life and doing things first. In addition, Shen Wenhua also attaches great importance to communicating with his son on weekdays. Compared with many rich children, Shen Zihan has nothing but Naturally, I learned a lot from the books.
"Sister, are you leaving tomorrow?"
"Well, we will set off tomorrow and go back before it snows, so as not to delay the trip."
"Okay, then I will take a good rest today, so as not to lose my energy tomorrow."
"That's right, let's go. The people in the mansion will be dismissed today. I'm afraid the mansion will be deserted tonight. Don't be afraid."
"Sister, I'm already an older child." They were about to leave, and many of them naturally wanted to find other careers, Shan Banyan didn't stop them, and now more than half of the people in the house have left, except for some Those who are in the house, and the others have basically left, and it is indeed much deserted than usual.
"Okay, okay, our Zihan is an older child!" Smiling, looking at her younger brother's growing face, Shen Jingshu felt more and more the importance of kinship.
In her previous life, she lived alone and had no one to rely on. Wasn't it because she had no close relatives? That's why no one protects her, no one helps her, discusses with her, in this life, never again.
Now that she has the ability to protect herself, and Zihan has gradually grown up, if those people want to plot against them again, they have to see if they have this ability!
…
On that day, Shan Banyan gave out money to all the people who were leaving the house, and let everyone go their separate ways. The whole Shen Mansion suddenly fell silent. Shan Banyan watched and sighed, "Everyone is gone, let's go!" The place has become quite deserted, and we will all leave in the future, and there are only a few people here, so it might be even more deserted?" After this trip, the possibility of coming back is extremely low, and there are so many good memories of her here, and Banyan Tree is still here. I really can't bear it.
"Mother, we will come back in the future!" No matter where they went, this is the home she lived in for more than ten years. Of course, Shen Jingshu has feelings.
"Well, you're right, we'll come back eventually, but I don't know why."
"Mom, what are you talking about, if you have a chance in the future, just let daddy accompany you if you want to come. Don't worry, there are people guarding here. We can come back anytime we want." Such a big house can be considered a big house Of course, it is impossible for the industry to be so deserted.
"Well, well, let's go to bed earlier, we're still on our way tomorrow!"
"Well! Mom, you should go to bed early too!"
"Let's go!" After several months of tidying up, everything is almost there. Except for some things that cannot be taken away, Banyan Tree has either sold them or kept them, and everything that can be taken away has been taken away. It’s just that even though he had already prepared to leave, now that he is about to leave, Shan Banyan inevitably sighed, “Wenhua, I’m leaving tomorrow. I haven’t been back for many years, and I don’t know what the situation in Kyoto is like now? I don’t remember what the old house looked like.” Wherever she has too many bad memories, Shan Banyan always chooses to forget them.
"I don't remember, I'll know when I go back. Well, don't think too much about it. This will always be our home. If you want to come back in the future, we will come back and live here, or we can move here together when we are old! "When he resigns from office, won't the family be able to indulge in the mountains and rivers
"Hehe, that's great, I'm looking forward to it." Although Shen Wenhua said it was great, Shan Banyan also knew that once they returned to Beijing, many things would be beyond their control. Especially when you get older in the future, how can it be so bumpy? However, Shan Banyan was very happy that Shen Wenhua could say that, and naturally she would not say anything that would spoil the scenery.
"Okay, let's rest early, we have to set off early tomorrow morning. It's been a hard journey, we should sleep more."
"Well, that's good!" Looking at all this as a souvenir, Banyan Tree seemed to want to keep all this in his heart. He slept quite restlessly that night, and everyone woke up early the next day. Far, early departure is always good.
…
It was time to say goodbye, but there were so many people who came to see him off, especially the crowd of people on the street, which surprised Shen Wenhua, "You..."
"Master Shen, I heard that you are leaving, so we came here to see you off!" Shen Wenhua was an upright and fair official. He had done many practical things in Jiangnan for more than ten years, and the common people were naturally grateful. Hearing that Shen Wenhua was leaving, of course he was reluctant. It's just that Shen Wenhua has been here for too long, and those who should have left long ago stayed too long for them, how can they hinder them
"Thank you, you guys go back, it's getting cold, don't freeze." Looking at everyone's appearance, he knew that he had been waiting here for a long time, Shen Wenhua's heart was warm, looking at these people and this bustling city , Thinking of the scene when he first came here, Shen Wenhua only felt as if he had passed away.
"Master Shen, walk slowly, Master Shen, good luck, Master Shen..." The people along the way all knelt down, which shows the prestige of Shen Wenhua in the hearts of the people. These years, because of Shen Wenhua, they have indeed lived a good life, and the weather in Jiangnan is now smooth, the people have ample food and clothing, and Shen Wenhua has sincerely worked for them, and they are all grateful from the bottom of their hearts.
"Thank you, let's go back, let's go back!" Several people got into the carriage and left. When they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw Yang Huilan and Kong Xinhe coming to see him off. , it can be seen that these days, she is also living comfortably.
"Parting is too sad, I didn't want to come to see you off. But I think it will be difficult to see you off today, so I can only come to see you off. You went to Kyoto and met more people. Don't forget me in the future. "The eye circles are red, to be honest, Yang Huilan is really reluctant to leave Shen Jingshu.
"Fool, how could I have forgotten you? But you, take good care of yourself. If you have a chance to visit me in Kyoto, I will visit you too. We are good friends for life!" He took a handkerchief and wiped it for Yang Huilan Wiping away tears, perhaps because parting was too sad, Shen Jingshu couldn't help it now, "Okay, we are all mothers, don't cry anymore and make people laugh. It's not like we can't see each other anymore, It's like parting from life to death!"
"What are you talking about? This is unlucky, take it back!"
"Okay, okay, I'll take it back, but don't cry, remember to write to me if you have anything to do, and take care of everything else by yourself, understand?"
"Got it, don't worry!"
"And don't always wrong yourself. Sometimes you should say what you should say, and do what you should fight for yourself. In my heart, you have always been the straightforward woman before. Don't let me down .If I see you living so hard and wronged again, I won’t recognize you as a friend anymore.”
"Okay, I got it, it's really long-winded!" After Shen Jingshu said this, Yang Huilan stopped her tears, "You talk to Xinhe, I won't delay you, I will take care of myself if I have something to say. I wrote to you!"
"Well, Xinhe, do you have anything to say?"
"Jingshu, you guys go first, and we will look for you next spring. Don't worry, I will persuade her and help her when Huilan is here. You are in the capital, be careful!" Although Kong Xinhe and Chen Feng I also want to go with Shen Jingshu and the others, but the business in Jiangnan still needs to be handed over, so I can't go for the time being.
"Okay, I know, you too, take care of yourself, write a letter if you have anything!"
"Okay, I won't say much, let's go, don't delay the trip because of us." I have already made preparations for parting, and I have said a lot of things before, and now I personally send Shen Jingshu away. People's eye circles are inevitably red.
"Okay, take care, I'm leaving!" Without saying anything else, Shen Jingshu got into the carriage at this moment, and left without looking back.
"Goodbye! Jingshu, have a safe trip!" Seeing that Shen Jingshu had really left, Yang Huilan couldn't hold back her tears. I'm so sorry!"
"Okay, if you want to see it, you can see it, don't worry."
"I really envy you. You can still go to Kyoto with her. From now on, I will be alone."
"You can also go, we will accompany you, but without us, you still have children, and husband, you will not be alone!"
"Well, you're right, let's send Jingshu off well, and we don't know when we will meet next time!"
"good!"
Shen Jingshu sat on the carriage, although she didn't look back, but she felt uncomfortable after all, she was so familiar with the plants and trees here, and now she really left, Shen Jingshu thought about everything in Kyoto, and she was a little more hesitated.
Is she finally going back? Go back and take back everything that was taken away by those people, second uncle, second aunt, and her cousin, you treated me like this in the previous life and took away everything from me. In this life, I will never let you succeed again!
I will let you also taste that life is worse than death!
…
I stopped and stopped all the way, but I still encountered wind and snow, so I walked very slowly, and it took almost a month to finally return to Kyoto. Shen Jingshu and her group were wrapped in thick padded jackets. When they arrived in Kyoto, it was snowing, covered in snow, and pedestrians were walking around everywhere. Compared with Jiangnan, it had a different taste.
It's just that a few people are used to staying in Jiangnan. Jiangnan is much warmer than Kyoto in winter. When they came back now, they suddenly felt extremely cold. The north wind was just like the knife, it hurt people's faces. Shan Banyan naturally knew the weather in Kyoto, so he prepared thick jackets in advance, and asked a few people to wear cloaks to live a comfortable life. Seriously, but after getting off the carriage, Shen Jingshu still felt cold.
"Sister, the weather in the capital is much worse than that in Jiangnan. In previous years, there was no snow in Jiangnan at this time, and it was already completely white. It's really cold, and I feel like my mouth is full of wind when I speak!" Shen Zihan was born in Jiangnan, who also grew up in Jiangnan, is really not used to the weather in Kyoto. This is because he is older. If he is younger, he will definitely not be able to survive the journey.
"Don't talk for now, we'll be there soon, put down the curtain, don't blow the wind and freeze, you'll be sick later." Although Shen Zihan's body was always in good condition, Shen Jingshu was still a little worried.
After all, the south and the north are different. In her previous life, when she first came here, she was not acclimated to the climate and had been ill for a long time. She hasn't recovered for one or two years intermittently, and news of her sickness has spread for some unknown reason, so no one cares about her.
In this life, she will never make this mistake again.
"Sister, I'm just curious about what the capital looks like, don't worry, I'm in good health, I'm fine!" Shen Zihan was not a frail scholar, but also practiced martial arts, so his body was naturally stronger than ordinary people.
"It's not good. Sometimes the acclimatization will hurt the body. I'll have to drink some ginger soup when I go back later."
"My good sister, I understand!" Shen Zihan has always listened to Shen Jingshu's words, knowing that her sister is proficient in medicine, she didn't try to be naughty anymore, just sitting in the carriage, even though the stove was burning inside, she felt cold, Shen Zihan was really special Not used to it, "This weather is really freezing to death. I don't know how people here can bear it. I like the weather in Jiangnan. It's like spring all year round. It's great."
"Don't talk about it when you come back. Grandmother won't like it if she finds out!" Shen Jingshu was telling Shen Zihan about Mrs. Shen along the way, and she wanted Shen Zihan to behave well so that Mrs. Shen wouldn't make a mistake.
"Understood, sister, I can save it!" Shen Zihan also knew in his heart that this grandmother in Jingdu seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his mother, so Shen Zihan was also dissatisfied with his grandmother, but Shen Jingshu taught him to respect his grandmother since he was a child, and he followed suit up.
After reading books for so many years, he still knows some truths, not to mention that he is more than eight years old now, and he also understands a lot of truths.
"Just save it. When you see grandma in a while, you have to salute well and don't neglect it, you know?" Mrs. Shen always favors the second wife, and their siblings have not been around for many years, so naturally they have nothing to do with Mrs. Shen. What feelings. Knowing this, Shen Jingshu has to work hard to build a good relationship with Mrs. Shen, so as to prevent Mrs. Shen from being even more dissatisfied with Shan Banyan Tree because of the alienation between the two of them.
After all, she is the grandmother of the direct relative. In the previous life, Mrs. Shen valued her less than the second wife, but at that time, as an orphan, she still had to be taken care of by Mrs. Shen so that she could live to adulthood. To Mrs. Shen, Shen Jing Shu's feelings have always been complicated.
"Sister, I understand." Nodding her head, Shen Zihan naturally understood. Grandmother doesn't like mother, so of course he can't hold her back.
"Um!"
…
I told Shen Zihan along the way, and soon arrived at the Shen residence, "Elder Master, Eldest Madam, Eldest Miss, Eldest Young Master, we are here!"
"En!" A few people got out of the carriage, and immediately saw the gate of Shen's Mansion. As expected of a century-old scholarly family, the old house of Shen's Mansion is completely incomparable with the mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. It's just that there are two stone lions at the gate, which are simple and simple, giving people a sense of awe.
A few people just got out of the carriage and let people pass it on. Not long after, someone came, "Brother, sister-in-law, you are back!" Of course, the person who came to greet him was Shen Wenhua's younger brother, Shen Wenli. The two brothers were somewhat similar. However, Shen Wenhua is taller, and probably because of his personality, Shen Wenhua gives off a refined feeling, but Shen Wenli is relatively loose, and he seems a little unreal when he talks and laughs.
"Second brother!" Nodded, the relationship with this younger brother is neither good nor bad. Although the two are brothers of the first blood, because of their personalities, they get along well or not.
"Hehe, mother has been looking forward to my elder brother and sister-in-law for a long time, please hurry up, mother is very happy to hear that you are back!" She smiled and motioned for several people to enter the door. Shen Wenli's gesture seemed to be the host, and Shen Wenhua and the others were guests. the same. These years when Shen Wenhua was not around, he lived a carefree life in Shen's residence, so happy!
"Okay, go to see mother first, you go and put things away!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Hehe, big brother has been in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, I'm afraid he got a lot of good things? Would you like to let me take a look at it some other day? Let me also keep an eye on it?" Shen Wenli looked at the following carriage, at the big and small bags. Things, the eyes are full of light, it can be seen that this is also a master who is good at calculating.
"Second brother, what are you talking about? Although Jiangnan is rich, I'm not that kind of corrupt official who squeezes it out. How can I get a lot of good things?" Even if there are some good things, they are bought by Shen Wenhua himself. It's also what he likes very much, and he doesn't want to be taken by this tacky brother.
"What did the elder brother say? How can the whole family be so polite? My younger brother, I just want to see it, and I don't ask the elder brother for it. Why is the elder brother nervous?" Hearing what Shen Wenhua said, Shen Wenli felt a little disdainful in his heart. In his opinion, which official is not greedy, and who would be so stupid that he has not gained any benefits in Jiangnan for more than ten years
Don't say yes? I'm afraid he wants it, it's okay, he will naturally find a way!
"Let's go see my mother first. I haven't seen my mother for many years. It's time to see her old man." Knowing that his younger brother is greedy for money and somewhat petty, Shen Wenhua didn't bother with this issue. Changing the topic, Shen Wenli knew that he It's useless to say more, so I stopped, "That's right, mother misses elder brother, so let's go see mother first, since mother knows that elder brother is coming back, but she has been looking forward to the stars and the moon, how can she still see me?" In fact, Mrs. Shen still loves her youngest son very much. The eldest son has been upright since he was a child, and he is extremely intelligent. Mr. Shen has always taken care of him, so Mrs. Shen's affection for the eldest son is weaker. As for the youngest son, Mrs. Shen brought a lot, and the youngest son had a sweet mouth and could coax others, so Mrs. Shen was naturally partial to him.
"Let's go!" The pace along the way was calm, but the pace was faster. At this moment, Mrs. Shen, who was waiting for Shen Wenhua to see her, kept urging her. She hadn't seen her son for many years, and she was really worried. Miss, "Wenhua is back? Didn't you say that he has arrived at the door? Zensheng hasn't come yet?"
"Don't worry, old lady, the second master has already gone to pick him up in person, and he will be here soon." Seeing old lady Shen like this, the old lady knew that old lady Shen was thinking too hard, and helped old lady Shen People urged, Mrs. Shen was looking forward and looking forward, and finally she was looking forward to it, "Old lady, the old man is already at the door, and he will be here soon!"
"Really? Hurry up and help me to sit down, I'll wait for him to kowtow!" Mrs. Shen hadn't seen her son for many years. Missing him for many years, Mrs. Shen felt very uncomfortable, and planned to put on a show.
"Yes, old lady!" Helping the old lady to sit down, when Shen Wenhua rushed over, he happened to see old lady Shen sitting there, and couldn't see what expression she had, so Shen Wenhua hurriedly knelt down, "Son and mother, please be respectful. Is mother well?" Shan Banyue at the side saw Shen Wenhua saluting, and his sons and daughters followed suit, "Mother is well, my wife is here to greet mother!"
"Grandmother is well, grandson (granddaughter) greets grandma!"
