Shen Tianshu was frightened by her expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Yunhui walked over quickly, pulled her to look left and right, and finally reached out and pinched her waist, and asked angrily: "Sister, have you lost weight again?"
"I have indeed lost some weight." Shen Tianshu was helpless, thinking that her serious face meant there was something big going on!
But for a little girl like Shen Yunhui, figure and appearance are already a big deal.
Sure enough, after receiving a positive answer, Shen Yunhui sat down, lying on the table and wailing: "Oh my God! I can't let my aunt see you, or she will miss me to death when she gets back!"
"Sister, it doesn't matter that you are so good-looking, how can you keep getting thinner and thinner!"
Only then did Shen Tianshu notice that Shen Yunhui's face was indeed rounder than before he left.
"What's happened to you recently? Your face is almost like a full moon. No wonder my aunt misses you!"
"Oh, you're not at home either. I'm so bored by myself that I don't want to go out on a hot day, so I stay in my room all day.
"I ate a lot of ice fruits and drank a lot of sugar water, so I got fat!"
Shen Yunhui held her face in her hands and said worriedly: "I thought that if you go to live in the Wangfu Courtyard, you will definitely have good clothes and good food every day, and you'd better be fatter when you come back, so my aunt won't talk about me!" "
"What a wonderful idea you have!" Shen Tianshu was amused by her, "Don't you know that children are the most energetic? I stay with the princess in the other courtyard every day, and it's hard to gain weight even if I eat delicious food. .”
The two sisters had a conversation, and Shen Tianshu couldn't help but ask again: "Have you met the eldest uncle and eldest aunt, right? How are they?"
"They are all very nice people!" Shen Yunhui said, "My uncle is very kind, and my aunt even specially prepared gifts for us all."
Shen Yunhui stretched out her arm as she spoke, letting Shen Tianshu look at the golden necklace on her wrist.
Hearing Shen Yunhui say this, Shen Tianshu became more and more confused.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the two sisters went to the old lady's yard together.
At the door, I happened to meet Shen Zhonglei who was returning from the office.
"Father."
"Shu'er is back!" Shen Zhonglei said happily after not seeing his eldest daughter for a while, "When did you get home?"
"It'll be here in the afternoon." Shen Tianshu said, "Is father still so busy during this time? Have the previous cases been handled?"
"I have stopped being busy for a long time. Although the case has not yet been concluded, the person has escaped from Huguang, so it is no longer under the control of your father and me. Mr. Han will continue to lead the investigation."
"That's fine. I heard from my grandmother that my uncle and aunt are here from my hometown. If dad is not busy, he can spend some time with his uncle, so that others won't think you are hiding away and don't want to entertain!"
"Then you really underestimate your uncle. He is not such a narrow-minded person!" Shen Zhonglei laughed.
Suddenly a gentle and steady voice came from the room: "Who underestimated me?"
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man with a smooth face was pushed out of the room in a wheelchair.
The man's facial features are somewhat similar to Shen Zhonglei's, but his temperament is more gentle and restrained. He is obviously Mr. Shen.
Shen Tianshu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "My niece has met my uncle. She was just joking with my father just now. I hope your uncle won't be offended."
When he saw Shen Tianshu, Mr. Shen was stunned for a moment.
But he quickly covered it up and was not discovered.
He showed a gentle smile and said: "Is this Tianshu? I have always heard your father praise you in the past few days since I came here, and today I finally met him.
"Come in quickly. Your aunt has prepared gifts for you sisters. Yunhui's has been given to her. Come over and see if you like it."
Shen Tianshu and Yun Hui entered the room together. Shen Zhonglei took the wheelchair from the servant and pushed Mr. Shen in.
Mr. Shen stared at Shen Tianshu's back and said, "I heard you say before that Tianshu looks very similar to his younger siblings. I didn't expect that they seem to be carved from the same mold."
"Isn't it? When I was a child, I could still see a bit like me, but the older I get, the more I look like her mother!" Shen Zhonglei sighed as he spoke.
Mr. Shen suddenly said: "It's my fault. I shouldn't have said this. It reminds you of your siblings again."
Shen Zhonglei smiled nonchalantly and said, "Brother, it's okay. It's been so many years. There's nothing we can't mention."
After Shen Tianshu entered the house, he saw a forty-year-old woman sitting next to Mrs. Shen, who was Mrs. Dong.
Ms. Dong was dressed very low-key, with a gentle smile on her face, and was teasing Bao'er on the bed with a rattle.
Seeing Shen Tianshu come in, Mrs. Dong quickly put down the rattle in her hand, looked at her and said: "This must be Tianshu. The last time I saw you, you were only a few years old, but you have become a big girl in the blink of an eye. ”
Shen Tianshu hurriedly stepped forward to greet me: "My niece has met my aunt."
"Good boy, get up quickly and come over here and show me." Madam Dong called Shen Tianshu to her side, took her hand and looked at it carefully, then took out a gold hairpin from his sleeve and wanted to put it on her.
Normally, Shen Tianshu would have to shirk such an expensive gift.
But Shen Yunhui had already accepted it and put it on. It would be inappropriate for her to refuse anymore, so she could only let her put the golden hairpin on herself.
I don't know what's going on, but ever since he put on this golden hairpin, Shen Tianshu always felt like there was a line of sight lingering around him.
But every time she tried to find the owner of her sight, this feeling immediately disappeared without a trace.
However, Shen Zhonglei looked at the golden hairpin in her hand and said thoughtfully: "This pattern looks familiar. My mother seemed to have had a similar one for Yaxuan back then."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen's expression suddenly froze.
Mr. Shen, on the other hand, said with a smile: "My hometown is small and not as prosperous as your big city.
“There are only two jewelry shops in total, and few people go to gold jewelry.
"After so many years, there are still the same old ones, and I don't know how to make new ones."
Old Mrs. Shen couldn't stand listening anymore and said to Chunlan: "Everyone is here, why don't you serve food?"
Chunlan quickly called for people to put the food on the table and invited everyone to take their seats.
Mrs. Dong habitually stood next to Mrs. Shen, preparing to serve her dinner.
Old Mrs. Shen said: "You have come all the way and you are considered a guest. How can you be allowed to set rules here? There are maids here. You should sit down and eat together!"
Mrs. Dong then thanked the old lady and entered the table carefully.
Mrs. Shen didn't speak much during the dinner, and Mr. Dong kept silent until the end. Only the two Shen brothers occasionally said a few words.
Maybe they had already talked about all the current situations they could talk about in the past few days, so for some reason, today's topic always ended up on Shen Tianshu, who had just returned.
Mr. Shen asked: "I heard that Tian Shu was not at home some time ago and went to stay at Prince Rui's Mansion?"
"Yes, but I didn't go to the Prince's Mansion. I followed the princess to the Prince's Mansion." Shen Tianshu hurriedly put down his chopsticks and replied.
"Oh, it seems that Tianshu has a good relationship with the people in the Prince's Mansion!" Mr. Shen said with a smile.
Shen Zhonglei took up the topic and said: "I can't say that I have a good relationship with the palace. The main reason is that Tianshu is particularly popular with children.
"Don't look at her, she usually doesn't talk or laugh and seems cold. Not only does the princess like to pester her, but Bao'er also likes her very much. Now that she is a little older, she laughs so much that she drools as soon as she picks her up."
"When you say this, it reminds me that my younger siblings seem to be like this too.
"Ever since she came in, the children in the old house who ran around like crazy every day liked to sneak into your house. She was still patient with the children..."
"Ahem—" Old Mrs. Shen couldn't finish a mouthful of food, and she choked and coughed.
