At this time, late autumn has passed, winter has entered, and the weather is getting colder day by day. However, there are not many ships at the pier, and they are still busy coming and going, noisy and lively.
Amidst such excitement, an ordinary boat slowly approached the dock. It didn't attract much attention at all, until a pair of teenagers got off the boat.
Of these two young men, one is tall and strong, has a slightly dark complexion, is handsome, and is naturally smiling.
The other young man was tall and slender, with dark eyes and thin lips, and extremely handsome appearance. His expression was cold and his eyes were sharp.
People coming and going at the pier couldn't help but glance at it again and again.
These two young men are none other than Shen You and Shen Jia.
It has been five months since the day of the injury. Shen You finally recovered from his injury and returned to Beijing by boat.
Shen Jia held it in for a while, then got off the boat and onto the pier. He suddenly beamed and said, "Fourth brother, we are finally back to the capital!"
Shen You hummed, a smile flashing in his eyes.
"I've been living in Cuiyuan for the past few months, eating, drinking and sleeping every day. I've gained a lot of weight." Shen Jia muttered, pinching his arm with his hand: "If I go back to work on errands, I will definitely be beaten. That guy Fang Peng made fun of you."
Not only Shen Jia, but Shen You also gained some weight.
He lay on the bed every day and drank the tonic ginseng chicken soup. It would be strange if he didn't gain weight. In the last month of recuperation, he stayed in bed and walked around every day and practiced boxing for half an hour. He finally lost a little weight.
The steward of the Shen family, who was waiting on the dock, finally saw the two masters. He was overjoyed and came forward to greet them: "Third Young Master, Fourth Young Master, I have been ordered by my wife to wait at the dock every day. After waiting for five days, Finally, I’ve waited for the two young masters.”
The carriage traveled from the dock to Shen's house for more than an hour.
A guard sent the letter back in advance.
Mrs. Feng stood at the front door, excitedly looking forward to it. When she saw the carriage, she could not hold back and hurried forward to meet it.
Shen Jia jumped off the carriage and shouted: "Mother!"
Shen You also got off the carriage: "Second aunt!"
With tears in her eyes, Da Feng responded repeatedly, crossed Shen Jia, and held Shen You's hand tightly: "Silang, you are finally back."
Shen Jia: "..."
Shen Jia was a little annoyed and said sourly: "Mother only sees the fourth brother in her eyes."
Da Feng wiped her tears with her sleeves and slapped Shen Jia with a smile: "You are alive and well, I can't see you, what's the big deal. Shiro was seriously injured, and he has been recovering from his injuries for five months. I am worried every day." Concerned, what’s wrong with taking one more look?”
Shen Jia was so photographed that she grinned: "I just said it casually!"
Mrs. Feng held Shen Jia in one arm and Shen You in the other. She entered the house with a smile on her face and murmured: "A few days ago, your second sister-in-law gave birth, and you two have a nephew."
After entering the inner hall, Mrs. Feng asked in detail about Shen You's recuperation in Pingjiang Mansion.
Shen You replied succinctly: "My grandmother and cousin Cui are both very good to me."
Shen Jia looked at Shen You with disgust and rushed to continue: "Fourth brother is just a boring gourd, let me tell you."
"My grandmother is really kind to my fourth brother. For my fourth brother, I spent thousands of taels of silver to buy 500-year-old ginseng and many expensive supplements. Otherwise, my fourth brother would not have recovered so quickly."
"Cousin Cui even runs to my fourth brother's yard every day. With Cousin Cui taking turns, I feel a lot more relaxed. Before, I was so tired that I almost lost weight."
Da Feng felt distressed and amused when he heard this: "Look at your rosy face, you are even fatter than before you went to the capital."
Shen Jia grinned: "You can't blame me. The Cui family's chef's cooking skills are really good."
Shen You raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Shen Jia very considerately said on behalf of the fourth brother: "The fourth brother has been separated from Shaojun's cousin for several months, and he is very concerned about her. After settling in, he will go to see Shaojun's cousin."
Da Feng smiled casually and said: "Young Jun rarely shows up recently. I don't know what she is busy with. I'm afraid I won't be able to see her if I go."
What is Shaojun's cousin busy with?
Shen Jia murmured in her heart and glanced at Shen You.
Shen You knew what was going on and didn't say much.
In the afternoon, Shen You rode his horse to Cui's house, but he missed the opportunity.
Zheng's mother took out a letter and said, "The lady has told me that if the Fourth Young Master comes, I will give this letter to the Fourth Young Master."
Shen You nodded briefly and accepted the letter. In this letter, he did not mention where he had been or what he was doing. There was only one short line.
At the end of the month, see you at Prince Yan’s Mansion.
Shen You read these few words a dozen times before sighing and putting the letter away.
…
After Shen You returned to Beijing, he was not in a hurry to go to Prince Yan's Mansion as an errand. He settled down and rested in the Mansion for two days. During this period, the Qiu family sent someone to visit him and brought some supplements.
Jiang didn't even show his face.
Shen You was used to Jiang's indifference and didn't take it to heart at all.
Early on the third day, brothers Shen You and Shen Jia went to Prince Yan's Mansion together.
"I have met His Highness King Yan!" Shen You bowed his hands in salute.
King Yan left manpower in Pingjiang Mansion, and King Yan knew everything about Shen You while he was recovering from his injuries. However, knowing was one thing. Seeing with his own eyes that Shen You was in better spirits than before, King Yan felt very happy.
"Okay, just come back." King Yan said with a smile: "You saved my life, and I will be rewarded heavily."
King Yan was very generous and rewarded Shen You with a thousand official posts and a thousand taels of gold.
At the age of fifteen, Shen You had an official position with a thousand households, which was extremely prosperous. The thousand taels of gold were enough for Shen You to buy a house for himself.
These are all secondary. What is more important is the trust and favor of His Highness King Yan.
King Qin has been recuperating in the palace of King Qin and has not been seen in public for several months. The King of Han and King Zhao are colluding with each other and jumping up and down. King Yan still acts in a low-key manner, but no one dares to neglect him in the slightest.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the position of crown prince most likely belongs to King Yan. He will have a good future in the future if he is favored by King Yan.
Shen You's heart surged with excitement, but his face remained calm: "Thank you for your grace, Your Highness!"
There were many personal guards working around King Yan. Only a few dozen of them could really get close.
Shen You was originally one of these dozens of people. Now he has made great achievements and returned from his injury. He has become a popular figure around King Yan and is with His Highness every day.
Shen You silently counted the days in his mind, counting them day by day, and finally made it to the end of the month.
His Royal Highness the King of Yan was on errands at the official office of the Ministry of Justice. As a personal guard of the King of Yan, Shen You was naturally at the King's side.
A chamberlain came in and whispered something to Eunuch Yang. Shen You's ears were very sensitive, far better than ordinary people, and he heard this sentence clearly.
Eunuch Feng is here.
Shen You's expression remained normal, but his heartbeat skipped a beat.
After a cup of tea, the handsome-faced Eunuch Feng came: "My servant Feng San'er, I have met His Highness King Yan."
