Step-Mother has Given Up

The clouds are very low and gloomy, like the mood of a person at the moment.

At the ten-mile pavilion outside Youzhou City, Shen Yanmo touched his brother Yao’s head, and put his arms around Brother Rong. His eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse: "My mother is not by your side. Take care of yourself, everything Think clearly before doing it."

Brother Rong hugged Shen Yanmo: "Mother, we can't bear you."

"I can't bear you either, let's go, go faster, or my mother will really regret it." Shen Yanmo pushed away Brother Rong, turning his head away from them.

Brother Yao pulled Brother Rong into the carriage, and when the carriage turned around, tears fell and silently shouted: "Goodbye, mother."

Brother Rong opened the curtain, trumpeted his hands with his lips and shouted: "Mother, wait for me, I will be back."

Shen Yanmo turned around, tears streaming down his face. To Lynch and the others: "Take good care of them, don't take risks. You must take good care of them. We are waiting for you in Kyoto."

Lynch took the lead, quit Shen Yanmo and Ye Shaofu, and stepped on horseback. Lin Feng and a few people also got on their horses. After sitting firmly, Qi Qi Qiqi said: "Master and madam take care, we are going, cherish it." The horse was swept away, dust was flying wherever the horse's hoof went, and the clattering sound gradually faded away. Going away.

Shen Yanmo lay in Ye Shaofu's arms, sobbing silently.

Ye Shaofu stroked Shen Yanmo's back: "We are going to meet soon, trust me." After dealing with the matter in Kyoto, they went to Yan Country. When Brother Yao settled down, his wife was completely relieved.

Shen Yanmo nodded. The two returned to the Fuyuan Inn. Brother Yu and Brother Ao stood at the door. Mother Liu persuaded her from the side: "Brother Yu, Brother Ao, it's not that the lady doesn't want to call you, I really can't bear you crying."

This morning, Madam and they sent Brother Yao and Brother Rong away, but did not call Brother Yu and Brother Ao.

At this moment they woke up and saw Brother Rong and Brother Yao were gone, and their parents were not there. After dressing and washing, they looked for Brother Yao and Brother Rong. They were still screaming. Must go to find people outside the city.

Fortunately, she was stopped by Mother Liu, otherwise she really ran out.

Brother Yu saw that Shen Yanmo and Ye Shaofu came back from a distance, pouting and ignoring.

Brother Ao ran directly over and complained: "Why didn't my mother take us? We also want to send off the brothers."

Ye Shaofu smiled, raised his hand and touched Brother Ao's head: "Let you go, tears seem to have broken the embankment, what should I do if it floods us?"

Brother Ao turned his head to one side: "Huh, daddy is bad." Don't let them sleep with their mothers, talking is nothing, it's so bad, he doesn't look forward to having a daddy anymore.

Shen Yanmo hugged him, walked toward the courtyard, and explained: "Brothers have important things to do. If you go, you are not willing to leave and hug them and cry. The brothers will be embarrassed and distressed. You are reluctant to leave."

"What do we do if we think about brother?" Brother Yu asked.

"I don't want my brothers to leave. After returning to Kyoto, if someone beats us, without the help of my brothers, will we be beaten?" Brother Ao was full of worry.

Shen Yanmo laughed out loud, nodded Ao's brother's forehead, groaned: "I thought you were reluctant to give up your brother, because I was afraid of being beaten. Besides, if you practice martial arts well, whoever beats you, you beat back with your fist, you can't count on your brother forever."

Brother Ao curled his lips: "It's very tiring to practice martial arts, and it's great for my brothers to beat people. Without me, the bad guys will fall to the ground. I can just fill up a few fists or kick a few feet." How much effort is saved.

"This ambition is really high." The voice came from outside the door.

Shen Yanmo, Ye Shaofu, Brother Yu and Brother Ao turned their heads, and they saw Shen Yuanan standing at the door with the corners of his lips raised, looking at them with a smile, and finally his eyes fell on Brother Ao, admiringly said: "Let's brother Ao His ambition is really high." Step forward, hugged Brother Ao, and touched Brother Yu's head, "But if you fight, you have to do it yourself. That's cool!"

"You can't get used to them anymore, if you get used to them, it's really lawless." Shen Yanmo said.

"They are all very good and never take the initiative to cause trouble." Shen Yuanan said.

Shen Yanmo didn't want to entangle this question, so he asked: "Why is my brother here now?"

When she came back from Youbei and passed through Yongning County, she went to the county office.

Since Shen Yanmo's disappearance, Shen Yuanan has blamed himself and regretted himself, and looked forward to Shen Yanmo's return every day. Seeing Shen Yanmo's safe return, he let go of his hanging heart.

"The emperor asked me to go back to Kyoto. I want to go back with you, so I'll come over and talk to you." Shen Yuanan hugged Brother Ao and walked into the house.

Ye Shaofu picked up Brother Yu and followed behind.

After entering the house, Mother Liu offered tea. Shen Yuanan asked if he didn't see Brother Rong and Brother Yao.

Shen Yanmo said the identity of Brother Yao. Shen Yuanan sighed, he did not expect that Brother Yao and Brother Rong were actually the children of Princess Mingyue.

Several people negotiated and decided to set off back to Kyoto the next day. It was agreed that Ye Shaofu went out, saying that he was looking for someone to buy some necessities and bring them back on the road.

Shen Yuanan didn't stay too much, quit, and rode back to Yongning County to make a handover of work.

As soon as he left, Shen Xing came and saw Shen Yanmo respectfully shouting: "Auntie." His face was full of guilt, and he stopped talking.

Knowing that he had something to say, Shen Yanmo pointed to the chair beside him: "Sit down, and speak slowly."

Shen Xing sat down and hesitated for a while and said: "Auntie, I'm really sorry. I only learned about what happened yesterday. I'm so sorry. It's all because of me. If you didn't find me, Brother Yu and Ao would also You won’t hear those words, and you won’t move out of the house."

Yesterday he went to find Brother Yu and Brother Rong, and met the housekeeper halfway through.

The steward said that his grandmother came from his grandmother’s house, saying that his grandmother was seriously ill and wanted him to see. He thought, brother Yu and Ao can’t run away in the house, first go to visit grandmother, and then go find brother Yu. Children.

Unexpectedly, when I came back early this morning, I heard that Brother Yu and the others had moved out. I asked my grandmother to find out what happened. He also heard that his mother was reprimanded by his father.

"You child, you will take responsibility for yourself at the meeting. This matter has nothing to do with you. It's people chewing their tongues." Shen Yanmo said.

There is no need to explain things between adults to the children. Lest they worry.

Mother Liu came in, holding a tray with two plates of pastries on it. Directly put Shenxing in front of him, warmly greet him to taste.

Shen Yanmo also asked Shen Xing to eat more.

Brother Yu and Brother Ao treat him enthusiastically, without any complaints. Shen Xing was relieved. He picked up a piece of cake and ate it happily. After a taste, he knew that it was Yan Qing's craftsmanship, which was another compliment. Only then did I remember that I came here for a while and didn't see Brother Yao and Brother Rong. He asked them where they were.

Shen Yanmo said, "They went far away. Their father is very ill and wants to see them." The rest did not say much.

Shen Xing did not ask, nodded. After talking with Brother Yu and Brother Ao for a while, they learned that they would leave after two days. They were very disappointed: "Can't you leave after a while?"

Brother Yu and Brother Ao looked at Shen Yanmo at the same time.

Shen Yanmo took a sip of the tea, put down the teacup and said quietly, "I'm afraid we can't. We have very important things to do when we return to Kyoto."

"Do you have to go?" Shen Xing asked.

"You have to go." Shen Yanmo replied.

"Is it because of my family?" Shen Xing then asked. He was afraid that Shen Yanmo would have a lump in his heart, so he would leave Youzhou.

Shen Yanmo smiled: "You think too much. Your father and I are brothers and sisters. No matter what happens, it won't change."

"Then I'm relieved. Auntie is leaving, she thinks she needs to pack her things. I can't bother to bother me, so I will go back first. I will see you off the day you leave." Shen Xing smiled and got up and walked out.

Brother Yu and Brother Ao sent it out.

After Shen Xing returned home, he narrated Shen Yanmo's words with Shen Linpeng. He also asked Shen Linpeng to prepare things, saying that Shen Yanmo was leaving Youzhou to go to Kyoto. The Shen family was the host and he wanted to prepare some local products for the guests.

Shen Linpeng immediately asked people to prepare, eat and wear, two carriages, and delivered them directly to the entrance of Fuyuan Inn.

Seeing that the shopkeeper had sent it from the Dudu's Mansion, he quickly reported it to Shen Yanmo.

Shen Yanmo knew that it was Shen Linpeng's intentions, so he didn't decline and accepted them all. Before leaving, she made a lot of pills for maintenance and sent them to the Dudu's Mansion as the shopkeeper.

Mrs. Shen sighed and said that Shen Yanmo was affectionate and righteous, and let Shen Linpeng take care of her. Shen Yanmo can't be alienated because of his daughter-in-law.

Shen Linpeng had no objection. He has no opinion, but someone has an opinion.

When Ye Shaofu came back, he saw the two carriages, thought it was prepared by the shopkeeper, and praised him in front of Shen Yanmo.

Shen Yanmo knew Ye Shaofu's thoughts, so he smiled and didn't answer.

On the contrary, Brother Ao was quick to say, "This is from Uncle Shen. He knows that we are going to leave, and he specially prepared it for us."

Ye Shaofu's heart was filled with acid water, and he looked at Shen Yanmo with faintly resentful eyes: "He is generous."

Brother Yu didn't seem to notice Ye Shaofu's strangeness, and excitedly said: "The day we leave, Uncle Shen and Shen Xing are going to see us off."

Shen Yanmo glanced at Ye Shaofu, saw the dim light in his eyes, and sighed, "Jealous again."

Brother Ao heard this, raised his eyes to look at Shen Yanmo, and asked, "Mother, who is jealous? None of us are jealous."

Brother Yu took out a piece of almond pastry from his purse, took a bite and said, "Vinegar is not good, but almond pastry is delicious."

He remembered that Yan Qing had gone to Yan Country, his face suddenly collapsed: "Mother, when will Aunt Qing come back, I miss her."

Shen Yanmo laughed out loud when he heard this, glanced at Ye Shaofu, saw his embarrassed face, smiled, nodded on the forehead of Brother Yu, and said, "Do you miss your Aunt Qing, or do you want to Almond crumble?"

"Think about it all." Brother Yu swallowed the pastry, "Without Aunt Qing, there would be no delicious almond pastry. First think about Aunt Qing." Only then can we eat almond pastry.

This amused several people. Mother Liu praised her brethren for being smart.

Ye Shaofu raised the corners of his lips slightly, obviously also very happy.

On the day that Shen Yanmo left, the elderly Shen family, Shen Linpeng and Shen Xing all came to deliver them.

Mrs. Shen took Shen Yanmo's hand, full of reluctance, and talked utterly.

Ye Shaofu was sitting in the carriage and looking through the curtains, he saw Shen Linpeng's eyes sticking to Shen Yanmo, and he opened the curtain and said, "It's getting late, it's time to hurry."

Only then did Mrs. Shen let go of Shen Yanmo's hand, reluctantly bid farewell, and watched the group leave.

The journey was calm and calm, and two months passed. Shen Yanmo and his party arrived at the gate of Kyoto City.

After entering the city, Shen Yuanan wanted to separate from Shen Yanmo.

Shen Yanmo returned to Shen's mansion, and Shen Yuanan had to go back to Shen's house, and then went to the palace to see the saint. He didn't take the same route, so he had to leave after entering the city.

Shen Yuanan didn't return to Kyoto for a long time, so he asked Shen Yanmo, where is the good thing in Kyoto, he went back to Shen's house, to see his grandfather and grandmother, it was not like going back empty-handed.

Shen Yanmo said, "My grandfather and grandmother are getting old, and I'm afraid I might not look down upon them. My brother might as well go to Jishitang and get some precious medicinal materials and pills. If you want to come, your grandfather and grandmother will like it."

When Shen Yuanan heard it, this was the reason. He waited and looked around, looking for a Ji Shitang.

Brother Yu opened the curtain and leaned on the car window and said, "Uncle, Ji Shitang is a mother's property. If you want medicinal herbs, let the guys of Ji Shitang send it to you."

Only then did Shen Yuan'an know that Ji Shitang was his sister's property. He had only heard that Mo'er had opened a few pharmacies before, but he never knew it was Ji Shitang.

Ji Shitang is spread across the north and south of China. Almost every town has branches in Ji Shitang. The quality of the medicinal materials is good, the price is fair, and the young people are not deceived. Many people recognize the Ji Shitang. Hearing the words of Ji Shitang, they cannot help but praise. A few sentences.

"Mo'er is really amazing." Shen Yuanan was full of pride in his heart.

When he arrived at Jishitang, Shen Yanmo got out of the wagon and entered the shop. He chose some ginseng, ganoderma, deer antler, etc., and also some pills for maintenance, which filled two boxes.

Shen Yuanan wanted to pay but was stopped by Shen Yanmo: "Keep your brother’s money, let me marry my new sister-in-law. Brother Yu and Ao are both so old. My brother hasn’t married yet, so my parents know that they don’t know. I will feel at ease."

"What is Mo'er talking nonsense?" Shen Yuanan has never thought of getting married since the Wang family retired. It's not that he still cares about the Wang family girl, she really doesn't have that heart.

"Men’s elders should be married, women’s elders should be married. In a few years, my elder brother will be a year old. If he doesn’t marry, he wants to be a bachelor for a lifetime. It is said that there are three unfilial piety, and if you have no queen, you have a face. See your parents?" Shen Yanmo said while paying the money, and asked his buddy to send the medicinal materials out and tie them to Shen Yuanan's horse.

Shen Yuanan's cheeks reddened, and he heard Shen Yanmo say: "My brother has married a wife, he must never take a concubine, he must learn from his father, love his wife, and love his children. Our Shen family has a clean family, but don't let those Yingyingyanyan make trouble in the house. Restless."

"I won't take a concubine." Shen Yuanan said.

The two spoke out of Ji Shitang.

After they left, a woman turned around and stared at Shen Yuanan's back blankly with an inexplicable expression.

This woman is not someone else, she is Miss Wang's family, who was once Shen Yuanan's fiancée. Later, the Shen family became lonely and retired with Shen Yuanan.
