Chapter 2192: Spring is not too late
Shi Li raised her head and saw that the person coming was the original owner's father, Shi Mufeng.
This was a man of great talent and ability. He was the undisputed second place in the imperial examination and was favored by his superiors. He became the Imperial Censor of Salt at a young age and had a bright future.
He is also a rare good husband. He and his wife are together all their lives, and there is no other woman around to make them look more beautiful.
It’s a pity that his love was short-lived and his wife passed away, leaving behind only a pair of young daughters.
"Dad..." Shi Li reached out and gently tugged at the hem of Shi Mufeng's clothes.
Shi Mufeng had been staring at his wife's spirit tablet in front of him. He only came to his senses when his daughter pulled him. He bent down and picked her up, "Li'er, you've worked hard."
In the original owner's memory, Shi Mufeng was also a good father. He was not disappointed that his wife only gave birth to two daughters. Instead, he taught her and Shi Yu carefully and gave them all the best.
So at this time, Shi Li did not reject his closeness.
"Dad will take you back to your room to rest for a while."
Shi Mufeng held Shi Li in his arms, his face showing obvious heartache. Before, he had not been biased against Shi Yu just because of her frailty, but had always treated his two daughters equally.
The father and daughter came to Shi Li's boudoir. Shi Mufeng patted her on the shoulder and told her about his next plan.
"Father is always busy with official duties. Although Nanny is by his side, he is afraid that he will not be able to educate you and Yu'er enough. Today, a letter came from the capital saying that your grandmother is worried about you and has sent someone to take you over."
Shi Li's heart skipped a beat, knowing that what was coming would eventually come, but she had just come through, and it would be futile to object rashly, so she immediately kept silent.
"What's wrong with Li'er...do you feel something is wrong?" Shi Mufeng had been looking at his daughter and saw that she seemed unwilling, and was a little surprised.
Shi Li had no choice but to say with eager eyes: "I just can't bear to leave Dad, I want to be with him."
"When Dad is done with his work these days, I will pick you and Yu'er up as soon as possible."
Shi Mufeng had no doubts. He raised his hand and touched Shi Li's head, and said softly, "Take a break. It will take another three to five days for the Fang family to come."
Shi Li nodded obediently, "I understand, don't worry, Dad."
Early the next morning, Danmu finally followed Shi Li and met Yu'er, whom he had been thinking about.
The little boy, only six years old, was wearing plain white clothes, but his little face already showed the appearance described in the book, as if he had gathered all the spirits in the world, and once seen, people would never forget him.
【Ah ah ah! 】
[My Yu'er was so soft and cute when she was a child~~~]
[Host! Please touch her for me, just touch her hand~~~]
Shi Li: ...
The barrage of comments had gone crazy, but she still had to be a steady eldest sister, even though the original owner was only less than an hour older than Shi Yu.
"elder sister."
Before she could make any move, Shi Yu walked up to her and held her sleeve with her little hands. She blinked her watery eyes and tears fell.
Shi Li, who said she had to be calm just a second ago, said: Ahhh! Whoever dares to bully her sister, draw your sword!
"Yu'er, don't cry, you still have a father and a sister." Shi Li's voice was a few degrees softer than usual. She reached out and gently held Shi Yu in her arms, stroking and patting her back.
Although they are brothers from the same mother, Shi Yu has been weak since birth and now seems to be more than a year younger than her.
Holding the soft and weak Xiao Shiyu, Shi Li's inner thoughts and the barrage were exactly the same.
No one can bully her!
No one can!
The original owner's mother's funeral was held with great ceremony, and all the well-known families in the Jiangnan area came to pay their respects in a solemn manner.
Due to his health, Shi Yu could not stay outside all the time, so Shi Li was the only one who stayed in the mourning hall with Shi Mufeng.
At noon on the third day, a father and son walked in from outside the door.
The man looked a little older than Shi Mufeng, and was dressed in a heroic manner. The boy, about eight or nine years old, followed him in a step behind. His face looked about 70% similar to Shi Mufeng, but he was more handsome and eye-catching.
Shi Li followed Shi Mufeng to greet the two of them, and unexpectedly learned that the man was Ming Lian, a famous general in history.
His own son Mingchen was more famous in history than him. He led troops to the southwest several times and drove back the barbarians thousands of miles away. In the end, not only did he leave his name in history, but his tablet was also directly placed in Zhaolie Pavilion after his death.
Shi Li did not expect that this pair of people who shone so brightly in history books would actually appear here.
And from listening to Ming Lian and Shi Mufeng's conversation, it seems that the two were once classmates and had a very close relationship.
Later, when Shi Mufeng mentioned that the Fang family was going to take the two young ladies to Beijing, Ming Lian immediately said, "In that case, I will wait a few more days. It's just right for us to go back to Beijing together and take care of them."
The Ming family has roots in the capital. This time Ming Lian happened to be on business in Jiangnan. Now that the work is over, it is time for him to go back.
Everything that happened seemed to be different from before.
Shi Li stood there silently, secretly observing the young Mingchen out of the corner of his eye.
The nine-year-old boy's slightly pursed lips seemed particularly resolute.
