Chapter 26 Paying Back
Lu Yu has been paying attention to the movements of the Western Regions recently, and recently Mo Li Feige has passed the book, many houses have been robbed during this time in the frontier, although the robbers are wearing masks, but from the point of view of the killing methods and whereabouts, they are not like ordinary bandits, but very much like well-trained soldiers, thinking of the exotic women who have appeared in Yong'an City recently, Lu Yu has to suspect that these bandits are all pretending to be soldiers in the Western Regions, the purpose is to disturb the border security, and then wait for the opportunity to act.

was thinking about it, only to hear someone knocking lightly on the door outside, Lu Yu knew that it should be Shen He who arrived, so he said "Come in", Shen He pushed the door and entered.
Lu Yu squinted his eyes, looked Shen He up and down, and secretly thought in his heart, I haven't seen her for a few days, this woman is more gorgeous than last time, but she is only dressed up to be confusing, and her appearance is still so vulgar and ordinary.
Lu Yu resisted the urge to expose her, from coming up with a good strategy to borrowing silver taels, from Hui'an Daoqiao to meeting the Congee Mansion again, this woman really thought hard to cling to him, and it can be regarded as courage. If he were an ordinary man, he might have been deceived by her tricks, but unfortunately her calculation hit the wrong person, this kind of carving insect skill is ridiculous to him, it can only make him feel funny, that's all.
Shen He looked at the expression on Lu Yu's face, knowing that he must have misunderstood again, but she really didn't want to explain. She felt that the only solution to many things was to wait for time to tell, and that many things could only be clarified when they looked back. Just like the prejudice of the people in the village about her in the past, now Lu Yu's misunderstanding of her, it seems useless to get angry or argue now, the only thing that can be done should be to wait quietly, waiting for time and years to come up with all the evidence. What kind of woman she is, there will naturally be public opinion.
Thinking of this, Shen He put the silver taels on the table and said to Lu Yu: "Lord Lu, I am here to repay your silver today, thank you for your generosity at that time."
Lu Yu had a familiar chuckle on his face, and said, "The girl doesn't have to thank me, that bit of silver is nothing to me", and then said: "Miss Shen is really a master, she has earned enough four hundred taels in just two months, Lu really admires."
Shen He said: "Lord Xie praises, I'm just lucky", and paused again: "My lord, count the silver taels, if there is no mistake, I won't bother."
Lu Yu looked at Shen He and felt a little strange, since he was dressed so beautifully to see him, and now he was putting on a look of leaving, could it be that he wanted to catch the old man, so he said: "No need to count, Miss Shen has nothing else to do?" ”
Shen He said: "The silver is returned to the adult, and the folk girl will leave."
Lu Yu saw that she really wanted to leave, so he said: "Miss Shen, go slowly, I won't send it far."
When Shen He walked away, Lu Yu said secretly, this woman is really cunning, but life is boring, and it is fun to have such an interesting person doing something interesting.
Out of the county office, Shen He breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart, the four hundred taels of silver had been pressed on the bottom of her heart, and if she didn't get it, she couldn't get out of the shadow of her previous life brought to her by Lu Yu, and now that she paid it back, she was finally relaxed.
And when she was in front of Lu Yu today, she found that she was no longer as nervous and excited as before, but her mood was much calmer, which was the most difficult thing to change since she was reborn, and now it was much better than before. Of course, there are many other things to change, such as the villagers' opinion of her, her vulgar appearance and figure, her cultivation and knowledge, etc., which she will change little by little, but it will take time.
Seeing that the time is still early, go buy something for the third uncle and them, Shen He rented a carriage and went straight to Sajin Street.
There are still a few days before the Double Ninth Festival, and she was busy with the affairs of Jinxiufang during the Mid-Autumn Festival and did not have time to go back to visit the third uncle, so she must go back this time. By the way, you can take a look at her original courtyard, there are still some things to bring back. She remembered that the pastries made by a pastry shop next to Taihe Cloth Village were very good, so she planned to buy some pastries there, take them with her when she returned to the village, and bring some fabrics to Aunt Yu by the way.
The carriage soon arrived at the entrance of Sajin Street, and Shen He paid for the car and walked inside. But when I got to the door of the pastry room, I saw a notice posted on it, which said, "The owner has something, this store is transferred, if you are interested, enter the store to negotiate". She hurriedly walked into the store and asked, it turned out that the owner's hometown was originally from Chubei, because he recently received a letter saying that his father was seriously ill, so he decided to go home for a while, if possible, he would find a local business and no longer come back to run the store, so he posted a transfer notice.
After hearing this, Shen He suddenly remembered the delicious osmanthus crisp made by Aunt Yu, and immediately decided to help her plate it, this shop originally also sold desserts, if you add Aunt Yu's craftsmanship, the business will definitely be very good. And now that she has some silver taels, and she has the right person in mind, why not buy it, so she asked: "I don't know how many silver taels it takes to transfer this store?" ”
The shopkeeper saw that she really wanted to buy it, so he said: "I'm in a hurry to go back, if you really want it, give it to you cheaper, just count you two hundred taels of silver, and the tools and ingredients in the store will be transferred to you cheaply", and said: "The guys in the store are ready-made, if you think it's suitable, you can keep it directly"
After hearing this, Shen He felt that the price was reasonable, but the store was a little old and might need to be renovated, so he asked: "This store is in disrepair, if I need to spend money to renovate it, can it be cheaper?" ”
After hearing this, the shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "If you pay the full amount of money within two days, I will count you one hundred and eighty taels, which is the lowest price, and it can't be cheaper."
Shen He heard that she thought it was okay, but she still had to go back to calculate the remaining silver taels at home, so she said: "Okay, don't promise others for the time being, I will give you an answer tomorrow."
When he got home, Shen He counted the remaining silver taels, in addition to the four hundred taels returned to Lu Yu, the family spent thirty taels and added a large red sandalwood painting table for her to design clothes, and then removed the ten taels for buying daily necessities every month, and now there are two hundred and sixty taels left, just enough for the cost of the store and repairs, and the rest can still be used for two months.
In the evening, when Shen He was eating, he found that Xiao Cui had made another fish, but last time it was a stewed fish soup, this time it was a steamed fish, which looked bright red and smelled very fragrant, Shen He couldn't help but sniff and said: "It's so fragrant, our recent food is good, Xiao Cui's cooking skills are getting better and better", Xiao Cui smiled embarrassedly: "I see that Miss has been getting thinner and thinner recently, and I want to make up for Miss Miss, and I have no money to buy meat, so I have to buy fish", after speaking, he sandwiched a piece of fish into Shen He's plate, "Miss quickly taste whether it is delicious, That's what I've been thinking about lately."
