Chapter 20: Eavesdropping at the Door
Shen Junluo took Shen Junqian and finally walked to the gate of Xu Zhuqing's finger without getting lost.
Seeing the gate, Shen Junluo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It's okay that kid just now has a conscience and didn't lie to us, otherwise, hum ......."
It's been almost a long time, and Shen Junqian is tired: "Fifth sister, how can we go back now?"
"Continue to take the big sister's car back, let's just hide back. Shen Junluo said as a matter of course.
Shen Junqian looked at Shen Junluo with black lines on her head: "Big sister, they eat in the school at noon and go back in the afternoon." β
Shen Junluo was startled and looked at Shen Junqian: "Ah?!No, how do you know?"
"Listen to what my mother said. "You should still have to inquire about the map when you go out on an adventure.
"Then how do we go back, I'm so hungry, did you bring something to eat?" Shen Junluo said and touched his stomach.
Shen Junqian took out the pastries in his small satchel and said, "I brought some horseshoe cakes for you." β
Shen Junluo took it and took a bite first, remembering Shen Junqian and said, "Sixth sister, do you want it?" Seeing Shen Junqian shaking his head, he ate by himself, walking while eating, and said vaguely: "Forget it, let's go directly to the eldest sister, we should be able to find it, eat first and then talk." β
Shen Junqian nodded and followed behind, but fortunately, his teammates were just road idiots.
Walking through the door, Shen Junluo still stretched out her head to look over there, scratched her head a little puzzled, and said to herself: "It seems to be another courtyard, are we going wrong again?"
Shen Junqian also stretched out her head to look at it, and asked uncertainly: "Could this be the Cangwu Women's Courtyard where the big sisters are studying?"
"No, it won't. Shen Junluo replied affirmatively, "Although men and women are not so particular about the defense now, the ancient rites all say that men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven, and besides, didn't the kid from the Xu family just say that there is a wall on both sides?"
Shen Junqian nodded: "Oh, then shall we go in?"
Shen Junluo turned around and looked at Shen Junqian for a while, then nodded decisively and said, "Whatever, let's go take a look first." With that, he walked in.
Shen Junqian followed behind, but when she saw Shen Junluo shrinking her head and looking around as soon as she entered, she moved in one direction, and couldn't help but stand in place and look at her stunned, reacted, and immediately pulled Shen Junluo's sleeve: "Fifth sister, this way." There is a wall over there, and this side is the main house. β
Shen Junluo looked back when she heard this, and in the direction she was moving, there was a fence behind a few trees.
"I'm observing the terrain, yes, observing the terrain, you don't understand, anyway, well, there's nothing wrong with the yard, let's go." As he spoke, he deliberately raised his head and walked towards the main room.
This courtyard doesn't look very big, the main house is on the right hand side of Shen Junqian, there are four or five partial houses on both sides of the main house, and some evergreen trees are planted around the corridors on both sides.
Shen Junluo took Shen Junqian and walked along the corridor on the right towards the main room, and when she slowly approached the main room, she vaguely heard the sound of talking coming from the main room.
Shen Junluo carefully confirmed that someone was indeed talking, so she turned around and made a boo motion, and walked to the door of the room with Shen Junqian and Shen Junqian, lying on the gap, and pricking up her ears to listen.
β...... That's probably it, your uncle and second uncle have already gone to Lord Cao's house, if Lord Cao does vote for that, I'm afraid that this marriage can only be like this, do you understand?"
"I all obey my father's orders, not to mention that the marriage is the order of the parents, and the child has no opinion. β
Shen Junluo had already heard it, and made a "uncle and big brother" mouth shape to Shen Junqian, Shen Junqian nodded, in fact, she also heard it.
I only heard Shen Junhao ask inside: "Then does my mother know about this?"
Shen Jizhong's voice will come out when he is over: "For the time being, you don't need to tell your mother, wait until you are sure, by the way, your third uncle, don't say it for the time being, I'm afraid that something will happen to him at that time, I'll talk to your grandmother first, and let your grandmother come and talk to him." β
I don't know if the people inside are walking around, and I can hear the sound inside beginning to be intermittent, I don't know very well, Shen Junluo and Shen Junqian were listening intently, and suddenly the door opened.
"Smack!" With a bang, Shen Junluo and Shen Junqian fell to the ground together.
"Oh, why is this door so unsturdy?" Shen Junluo finished speaking, and when he looked up, he saw his eldest brother Shen Junhao standing at the door, making a posture to open the door, while the eldest man of the Shen family was sitting on the side drinking tea, and immediately a clever man got up and pulled Shen Junqian up.
"Uncle, big brother, hehe, what a coincidence, we just happened to pass by, you have something to talk about slowly, let's go first." After speaking, he took Shen Junqian's hand and turned around to run.
Shen Junqian ran across the threshold with her little short legs, it didn't feel right, why did Shen Junluo, who was holding herself, drag her from behind, and when she looked back, Shen Junluo was concentrating on running, and the key was that her collar was grabbed by Shen Junhao, and she was still in place during the day!
The "Fifth Sister ......" has been arrested, so there is no need to run.
Shen Junluo was still struggling to run, and when she heard Shen Junqian calling her, she didn't forget to say while panting: "Sixth sister, run, it's miserable to be caught by the uncle......"
"It's miserable to be caught by me, so to speak, in our Sister Luo's heart, I, the uncle, are very fierce and vicious!" Shen Jitang had already walked to the door.
Shen Junluo reacted and stopped, looking at Shen Junqian who was actually in front of him, he couldn't help but say, "Sixth sister, why are you running faster than me?"
Shen Junqian looked at Shen Junluo and pointed behind her, and said, "Your collar ...... have been caught!"
Shen Junhao next to him couldn't help laughing, and even the uncle of the Shen family was happy.
Shen Junluo looked back, and suddenly sat on the ground with a deflated ass.
Uncle Shen glanced at the two small ones, "Come here." As he spoke, he turned and walked inside.
Shen Junhao led the two little ones in, and when he saw Shen Jizhong sitting behind the desk on the left, he asked the two sisters to stand in front of the desk and stepped aside.
Shen Jizhong took a closer look at the current image of the two sisters, the two girls were scattered, their faces were black and white, their clothes were even more wrinkled, and there were many damages.
"How did you two do this, with your maid?" asked Shen Jizhong by raising his eyes.
Shen Junqian glanced at his uncle, thinking about whether it was better to confess and be lenient, and seeing that Shen Junluo didn't know what to say, it was better to shut up.
Shen Junluo is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and only cares about staring left and right.
"Sister Qian'er, tell your uncle, what's going on with you?" Shen Jizhong took a look and decided to break them one by one.
Shen Junqian looked at Shen Jizhong and blinked, and said, "Hide and seek with the grandmothers, they didn't find us stupidly." "Of course, in the matter of hide and seek, only Shen Junluo and Shen Junqian are insiders.
"So how did you get back here?"
"We hid in the carriage where the big sister went to school. "It's just that I deliberately didn't let the big sisters know.
"Jun Xuan, then why aren't you here in the Cangwu Women's Courtyard?" Shen Junhao was a little surprised.
Shen Junqian looked at Shen Junluo, she had already said it, and Shen Junluo pouted and didn't mind: "I'm lost." β
"You guys are too lost, aren't you, we are separated from the Cangwu Women's Courtyard by a high wall?" Shen Junhao looked at the two small bodies and expressed doubt, just this small body can't climb the wall.
Shen Junqian pointed to the pair of fingers and said, "We followed the dog to crawl in." β
Shen Jizhong and Shen Junhao suddenly realized, and almost said in unison: "Oh-"
Shen Junhao turned to Shen Jizhong and said, "When I came over, the second aunt and the third aunt were in the courtyard for the two of them, if my father hadn't called me over, I guess I would have been helping to find it." Now in the inner courtyard, except for the ancestors, they don't dare to sΓΉ, and the entire courtyard is estimated to be turned upside down!"
Shen Jizhong nodded, "So, you deliberately got rid of the maids and ran out?"
Shen Junqian whispered his defense: "It's hide and seek." Shen Junluo was not stupid and reacted: "I accidentally hid in the carriage." β
"Well, you two are not small......" Shen Jizhong couldn't help but have a headache when he looked at the two little ones.
When Shen Junqian saw it, he immediately ran over and hugged Shen Jizhong's leg, and said pitifully, "Uncle, I'm hungry." β
Shen Junluo was not so bold towards Shen Jizhong, so she could only look at Shen Jizhong pitifully.
Shen Jizhong frowned, "Junhao, you take the two of them back to the inner courtyard first, wash up and change their clothes again, and then let them come to my study in the afternoon." β
Shen Junhao answered, and retreated with the two small ones.
"Big brother, I can't walk anymore. Shen Junqian was tired of walking early, and this meeting was really unbearable, so he completely put down his face and reached out to hug him.
Shen Junhao immediately picked her up, and didn't forget to ask Shen Junluo: "Fifth sister, can you still walk?"
After all, Shen Junluo usually likes to run like crazy, and this bit of body is still there, "I'm not tired, just hold Sister Qian'er in my arms." β
"Okay, let's go, if you're tired, just tell me, I'll call a little guy to hug you." β
Shen Junluo nodded, indicating that she understood, "Big brother, what did my uncle say to you just now, what kind of marriage? Why can't you sue my father and aunt?"
Shen Junhao touched Shen Junqian's head. said: "You two little ghosts even dare to hide outside and eavesdrop. β
Shen Junluo couldn't help but retorted: "I didn't eavesdrop, I accidentally passed by and heard it, and besides, you didn't let people stop you outside, maybe, you and Uncle deliberately let us know." β
Shen Junqian thought deeply, thinking that she once overheard the conversation between her parents, could it be that the eldest brother's marriage had really changed.
Shen Junhao didn't worry about saying it, but for the time being, a few people still had to be late to sue sΓΉ, so he said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that things are still uncertain now, it's not good to rashly sue everyone, wait until you confirm it." By the way, you two can't tell anyone about the secret between us at that time. β
Shen Junqian nodded, thought for a while and said, "Then big brother, what will you do if you tell our uncle to ask us to go in the afternoon?
Shen Junluo was also a little worried, "That's right, big brother, you tell our uncle what to do, otherwise we will tell everyone to hear it when we go back." β
Shen Junhao couldn't help but hang Shen Junqian's little nose: "You two are quite clever, you will submit to change conditions, okay, don't worry, Dad will reprimand you at most, and then let you slowly fry the words." β
"So that's the case!" Shen Junluo and Shen Junqian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
