Chapter 253: A Visit from a Taoist Priest (4)

After packing up the things and having lunch, Yeqiu Ni saw that Shen Anyan had not come out at lunch, so he sent someone to the house and delivered the lunch meal.

"Alas, the last meal in the Shen Mansion had to be eaten alone. Shen Anyan's tone didn't hear any emotion, she was not depressed but not relaxed.

"Don't talk about that, Miss, we'll be back soon. Siqin said.

Shen Anyan said "um", noncommittal.

After lunch, Ye Qiu Ni was in a hurry.

When I arrived at the main hall, I saw Ye Qiu Ni sitting on the top, and there were no women around her, so it seemed that they had all gone back.

"Be on the safe side of the trip. Yun Qiang also came to see Shen Anyan off.

"I will, auntie, please take care of yourself. Shen Anyan blessed her body and said.

"It's not early, go early, it's too late, it's dark, and it's not safe. Seeing the two saying goodbye, Yeqiu Ni didn't stop them, but just urged on the side.

It stands to reason that Shen Anyan should say goodbye to her mother first, and say goodbye to her aunt. But Yeqiu Ni was in such a good mood, so she didn't care so much.

It's all about leaving, so what's the matter?

Ye Qiu Ni smiled.

"Okay, then I'll go. Shen Anyan took a step back and said.

"Sister has to take care of herself. Shen Yingqing is still a little reluctant, who knows how long this farewell will take, Shen Anyan can't go back to Shen Mansion, a bad reputation is the first priority, the side courtyard really can't guarantee safety, if there are any "robbers and bandits" who want to forcibly break in, what can a few maids in the courtyard do!

Shen Yingqing glanced at Ye Qiu Ni, not knowing if she would do such a thing.

"Take care of my aunt, and ...... I'll go to Bingde's business, you don't have to worry about it, wait for him to come back, take care of him. Shen Anyan said that in the back, she deliberately lowered her voice, so as not to let Ye Qiu Ni hear it, and never let Ye Qiu Ni know that she had a way to solve Bingde's problem.

As for the last sentence, it is to tell Shen Yingqing that after Bingde comes back, he will recover for a period of time, and he will definitely not let go of the person who framed him, but Shen Bingde's current ability to deal with Qiao Jianyu and the people who instructed him behind him is to touch an egg against a stone. Shen Bingde must not act rashly, now that Shen Bingde is still young, Shen Anyan is very afraid that he will do something impulsive.

For Shen Anyan's current words, Shen Yingqing may still feel that it is in the rain, but when Shen Bingde comes back, Shen Yingqing will be able to understand.

"Optimistic about him?" Shen Yingqing frowned.

"Alright, the carriage has arrived at the door, the fifth girl should go quickly. Ye Qiu Ni urged again, and she was already a little impatient.

"Hmm. Shen Anyan blessed her body and walked out without hesitation.

In the sunshine, which has no warmth, the reflection of an elegant carriage drove leisurely on the ground. The carriage was wrapped in fine silk on all sides, and the red dust went down the river.

The carriage slowly drove out of the most prosperous area of the capital, and gradually, the surroundings became quiet. A large expanse of farmland, with everyone's house standing side by side. Shen Anyan knew that the partial house would not be lined up with these farmhouses, it must be a separate place, but Shen Anyan didn't expect that the carriage would go further and further, and finally stopped in front of an old house.

The size of the house is very large, although it is less than a quarter of the Shen Mansion, but it is much stronger than the farmhouses I saw before. Shen Anyan couldn't tell that this was a house with a few entrances outside, but from the outside, she could tell that it would not be very comfortable inside.

No one from the Shen Mansion has ever lived in this house, so naturally there are many things. Shen Anyan got out of the carriage and walked into the courtyard, there were no flowers to admire in the yard, Shen Anyan glanced at it a few times, then pushed the door and entered the Shen mansion.

Because Shen Anyan came in a hurry, Yeqiu Ni didn't have the time to order someone to clean it in advance, but it can be seen that someone came to clean this Shen house regularly. Next to the window was a wooden table with a cloth that had been green earlier. There is an inkstone on the table, which has been dried, and it should be used when someone comes to count the ledger during the autumn harvest.

Next to it are a pair of brass candlesticks and a pair of copper scissors with wicks.

Shen Anyan walked for a while and found the room, which was very tidy, with a simple bed in the corner and a patterned curtain at one end.

"Then put things down. Shen Anyan commanded. "It's not a big house, so you can take a look around while the groom helps you move things. Shen Anyan said.

"Hmm. The chef who came with Shen Anyan didn't look comfortable, and there was some reluctance in her expression. Shen Anyan doesn't blame her, after all, coming to this remote house is like being exiled, who would be happy.

The cook left with two handymen first, and went to tidy up the necessities she had brought and put them in the corresponding place, and there was nothing in the kitchen, which basically needed to be re-organized.

"Siqin, you will go and reward the cook and the two maids for a little silver. Shen Anyan said. "They must not be happy to come along, at least let them get something, and then they can have a snack. ”

"Yes, Miss. Siqin replied.

Shen Anyan doesn't have to worry about the problem of silver now, after all, Yin Chenlang's pawnshop that day is still there, although Shen Anyan doesn't want to use his silver, but since the thing is in Shen Anyan's hands, Shen Anyan will definitely use it if something really happens. It's just that there is no problem with the money in his hand to pay for daily expenses, and things like Shen Bingde are also a minority.

Shen Anyan is now in a partial house, and she doesn't need to reward people, so she has cut off contact with the outside world with "partial house cultivation".

Shen Anyan looked out the window, there was no trace, even though it was silent.

"Miss, the house is all taken care of. I don't know how long it took, Si Qin recalled Shen Anyan's thoughts from afar.

"Well, you're tired from the journey, so let's rest for a while. Shen Anyan sighed and left from the window.

Thinking about it, it is not safe to say anything here, and you must go to the Feiwei Pavilion in Dongcheng as soon as possible to see if there is anything else that can be used for self-defense besides the needle. It's just that the pain is unbearable, if Shen Anyan really gets into trouble, it can't be solved, and it will drag on for a while at most.

Siqin and the others went down, and the handyman and the cook were preparing dinner for six people in the evening. Shen Anyan could still hear the subtle agitation in the kitchen, which made Shen Anyan rush to the smell of fireworks.

Lying in bed, my thoughts also returned to my previous life.

He accompanied Qiao Jianyu to secretly visit the generals in various places and persuade them to work for the crown prince, and when they did not make any improvement at first, they could only live in some mansions that were not dilapidated but could not be compared with those mansions. At that time, Shen Anyan would go into the kitchen to help the maid prepare meals, just so that Qiao Jianyu could be more happy. At the beginning, they really encountered too many setbacks, and the number of failures was too much, and the prince's side would also start to get impatient.

Qiao Jianyu sometimes goes in to watch Shen Anyan prepare meals, which once made Shen Anyan feel that the two of them are like ordinary couples, when Shen Anyan said this idea, she saw Qiao Jianyu obviously stunned, Shen Anyan only now thinks through, that is a kind of disgust, Qiao Jianyu was born with great ambitions, how can he and Shen Anyan be ordinary couples?

Suddenly, Shen Anyan heard a trace of movement outside the window, and couldn't help but open her eyes, her whole body was tense, and a thin layer of sweat appeared in her palms, could it be ...... Ye Qiu Ni made a move so quickly?

She couldn't hold back too much, she had only left the Shen Mansion for a few hours!
