Chapter 204: Why bother to suffer this sin

Shu Wangjin sat next to Lin Mei, frowning slightly, seeing Lin Mei's drowsy look, she was also a little distressed, reached out and picked up the kettle that was put aside, and helped Lin Mei to lean on her shoulder, "There are still ten days to go......

He originally wanted to let the team speed up, but as soon as the carriage sped up, Lin Mei was even more uncomfortable, so there was no way to slow down the team.

Originally, it was expected that it would take seven days to get to Los Angeles, because Shu Wangjin planned to take the waterway in the second half of the journey and go to Los Angeles, Jiangnan Province, but Lin Mei was seasick, and she vomited in the dark as soon as she got in the car, but Shu Wangjin was very frightened, and hurriedly asked people to change the carriage again.

Because he was afraid that An Yuanhou would send someone to chase after him, Shu Wangjin first took Lin Mei to a county near Jinzhou on a small road, and then he turned to the official road and arrived here.

Lin Mei leaned on Shu Wangjin's shoulder, and felt a little blame in her heart, pursed her lips, and just wanted to speak, but saw Shu Wangjin hand over the kettle.

She licked her lips that had just drunk water but had become dry not long ago, frowned and said, "I just drank water not long ago, and I don't want to drink it now......" Where did she not want to drink, she was just afraid that she would cause trouble to Shu Wangjin, there was a lot of water and food on the carriage, but if she drank too much water, she had to relieve herself, how embarrassed she was for a girl! And it will also slow down everyone's process, so. Over time, Lin Mei didn't want to drink water very much.

Shu Wangjin looked down at Lin Mei's dry and peeling lips and said lightly. "If you don't want to drink, then I'll let the convoy stop here until you drink water."

He naturally knew what the reason why Lin Mei didn't want to drink water, but he just didn't want to trouble others! But...... This entire convoy is arranged by the Shu family in Jinju, and naturally it is also his person, if he wants the convoy to stop here, even if other people complain more, they can only be buried in the bottom of their hearts. And obediently park the carriage here!

"You ......" Lin Mei was already uncomfortable, and when she heard this, she was even more angry, almost tumbling up and down in her stomach, and almost didn't vomit.

Shu Wangjin saw Lin Mei glaring at her stubbornly. directly placed the kettle in his hand in front of her, although his tone was gentle but full of threat, "If you don't drink it, I will force it." ”

Lin Mei pouted. It is both grievance and sadness. His eyes were full of tears, and he looked so pitiful.

Shu Wangjin really ran out, sighed lightly, and comforted Wen Yan, "Miss Lin, the Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles is not in a hurry, your body is so unbearable to travel long distances, so we will slow down the trip." It doesn't matter, my two cousins have already arrived in Los Angeles. If there is any entertainment, just leave it to them to do it, but ...... If you are sick, won't we be in Los Angeles even later? ”

Lin Mei has always eaten soft rather than hard, if Shu Wangjin murdered her, it would be fine, but talking to her so gently made her even more aggrieved, and she looked at Shu Wangjin for a long time before she spoke.

"I don't want to ...... However, I thought that three days in the capital was long enough, and I didn't expect that I would get motion sickness...... Unexpectedly, this time it was only the fourth day, and I couldn't stand it. Lin Mei also felt that she was unlucky, although she had never been far away, but the time she went to the capital was far enough, right? Why was it okay that time...... It's so bad that she is now throwing someone in Shu Wangjin's place, which makes her want to cry without tears......

After speaking, Lin Mei also felt that she was really thirsty, and her stomach had been uncomfortable, so she took the kettle in Shu Wangjin's hand, and looked at it, it turned out that even Shu Wangjin had already opened the mouth of the kettle for her, so she raised her head and took a big sip, and instantly felt that her whole stomach was cold and cold, and she didn't know how much more comfortable than before.

Shu Wangjin lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside the car window, the convoy had already arrived at a very prosperous market, and now that the sun had set at the foot of the mountain, it seemed that it was best to stay here for one night.

"Shu Zhou......" Shu Wangjin just opened his mouth to call, when he saw Shu Zhou poking his head out of the car window with a hippie smile.

"Young master, you finally have something to tell me...... You don't know, when I get to this market, I want to ask you if we are going to stay here tonight, but I think about it, Miss Lin is also in the carriage, it is better not to take the liberty of asking, otherwise, maybe I will disturb what good things you are doing, right......"

Before Shu Zhou finished these last two words, he was splashed on his face by a pot of water, fortunately, there was not much water left in the pot, otherwise he was afraid that Shu Zhou's wet face would not be this one.

Lin Mei looked at Shu Zhou with an iron face, and when she saw that he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, she was a little angry, threw a handkerchief to him, and said coldly, "Why don't you take it to wipe your face?" Speak smartly in the future......"

Shu Wangjin just didn't see Shu Zhou's miserable face, and said happily, "Didn't you hear Miss Lin's orders?" Don't take it yet. ”

Shu Zhou sighed faintly, picked up the handkerchief on his body and wiped his face, and said weakly, "Young master, what do you call me for?" ”

It's still his life as a subordinate, and he has such an unreliable master, and now it's even more miserable, and there is an even more unreliable master!

"It's getting late today, so let's stay in this town for one night, and we'll be there tomorrow." Shu Wangjin glanced at the nearby environment, and after speaking, he helped Lin Mei get out of the carriage, "Let's rest here tonight, the inn is there, let Shu Zhou take care of it, I'll accompany you to get off the car and walk first." ”

Lin Mei nodded lightly, she has always been lively for the past few days, and now she heard that she can get out of the car and walk, and when she thinks that she will be able to get rid of the pain of motion sickness immediately, the whole person has vitality.

Shu Zhou rode on the horse, and after hearing Shu Wangjin's words, he felt even more sad, so he shook his head and sighed, and then shouted to the people in the convoy behind him to follow him, so that they could find an inn for them to live in. Originally, Shu Wangjin and his party could also live in the post station of the official uniform, so they saved a lot of silver taels. After all, Shu Wangjin is also an imperial merchant of this dynasty, and there is still an official and a half-position on him, but the environment of this post station is really entangled. And if you don't give the reward money, it will be even more unlivable, so Shu Wangjin will directly let them find an inn instead of a post station.

Let's talk about Los Angeles again, Shu Wangjin is right, Shu Yanjin and Shu Taijin have indeed arrived early, and Shu Wangjin said that he is at ease, referring to Shu Taijin's reliability. is not Shu Yanjin, the squeamish boy who can only eat, drink, and have fun and lose the property in the clan.

Although Shu Taijin has always been at odds with Shu Wangjin, and in secret, he is fighting to the death, but there will be such a big event in Los Angeles. If Shu Taijin messes up, it won't be just a shame for him, so if he wants to fight with Shu Wangjin for family property in the future, he has some reliance in his hands. Then this time it will definitely be done beautifully.

It's just that. Shu Wangjin didn't know...... Shu Taijin and Shu Yanjin had a discord with Qing when they were children, and now the three of them are even more like fire and water.

It's just that it was not Qing Yan who suffered, but the two brothers Shu Taijin and Shu Yanjin......

"Qing Yan, we haven't had a good meal for so many days, so you can be merciful and let the kitchen cook some meat dishes tonight...... Otherwise, wait until Cousin Wangjin arrives here. Seeing the two of us skinny will definitely feel distressed! ”

It was Shu Yanjin who said this. At this time, how could he still have the scenery of Lin Mei when he first saw him in the capital, wearing a long shirt sewn from burlap, the whole person looked weak, and his face was yellow, looking no different from those tuberculosis ghosts on the street, if his father and mother saw him like this, I am afraid that they would not be able to recognize him!

Shu Taijin has not seen anyone all day, so he is much happier than Shu Yanjin.

Because Shu Taijin has been running business outside these days, socializing with other businessmen from all over the world and even abroad, Qing Yan is not too harsh on him, and the silver given every day is sufficient, just so that he does not lose the face of the Shu family in front of outsiders.

Qing Yan listened to Shu Yanjin's words, smiled coldly, and directly slapped a thick account book in front of him, and then looked at him with his hands crossed and his eyebrows raised.

"See for yourself! How much money have you and Shu Taijin used from our family along the way! Qing Yan pointed to the account book and sneered, "If you give money, I can also consider letting you eat better, but you yourself are so uncompetitive that you almost made me poor, and now I can still feed you, what do you have any opinions?!" ”

Shu Yanjin was already timid, and couldn't help shrinking back when she heard Qingyan's words, but in order to have a good meal at night, she forced herself to say, "When the time comes, I'll let the family return it to you...... Lend me some money now, and I'll give you back twice as much, no, triple as much!" ”

He just wants to take a hot shower and eat a good meal now...... You know, here, he doesn't even have a hot shower! It's really itchy on my body, so I took a shower in the sun outside at noon, but the cold clean water still made him shiver, and because of the cold shower in the past few days, he almost didn't get the wind chill, and because he was in a hurry that day, after Shu Wangjin left, he found that the clothes on his body were torn, and he had no choice but to be cheeky and go to Qingyan to borrow a few Shu Wangjin's clothes.

Unexpectedly, Qingyan couldn't help but refuse him, and regarded Shu Wangjin's clothes as if they were treasures, and didn't even let him get close, let alone borrow them, and later, he even used this incident to satirize Shu Yanjin and Shu Taijin.

If it was usual, the two of them would definitely not be able to bear it, but they had no choice but to send people under the fence, and the people watching the play next to them were Shu Wangjin's loyal domestic servants, so they ignored them even more.

After Shu Yanjin ate this deflated, he also knew how powerful Qing Yan was, so he begged Qing Yan in a low voice for a long time, and then asked for a few rough and shabby linen clothes, but how could he and Shu Taijin have any choice? I don't have half a penny on my body, and I don't speak hard!

And those servants watched them change into civilian clothes, and they were even more happy, and they probably didn't expect that the two young masters of the Shu family, who had always been high, would fall to such a point, right? Therefore, they will turn a blind eye to Qingyan's torture of the two of them, as long as Shu Yanjin and Shu Wangjin are not dead, everything will be easy to say! What's more, all of this was done by Qing Yan, can they still be blamed?

Qing Yan became more and more disdainful, looking at Shu Yanjin's eyes full of unkindness, "Hmph, ask me to borrow money?" I still have to support so many people in our Shu family, how can I have any spare silver to lend you? ”

"But...... Why is Taejin able to bathe every day, and you give him so much silver to eat, drink and be merry outside...... This, this is not fair! Shu Yanjin pursed her mouth and said complainingly. But he didn't want to think about it, when was Shu Taijin coming back every day? And when they come back every day, they are full of alcohol, but they are all poured by others, and they can't drink if they don't want to, lest others say that the Shu family looks down on them......

Therefore, Shu Wangjin still has a long-term vision, knowing that if he comes to Los Angeles, he will definitely be drunk by other merchants, so he specially called Shu Taijin and Shu Yanjin to take risks for himself, and others will naturally be embarrassed to pour him wine again.

"You still have the face to say!" At the mention of this Qingyan, he was even more angry, and almost stabbed Shu Yanjin to death with an eye knife.

"Shu Taijin socializes outside every day, helps the Shu family and those businessmen to build a good relationship, you only know how to eat, drink and have fun every day, people get up early in the morning to discuss matters with others, you sleep like a dead pig every day, and you don't know how to wake up after three poles in the sun! I really don't know what Master Shu and Mrs. Shu are doing to raise you, don't ask them to support you when the time comes! ”

Qing Yan wanted to speak viciously, not to mention that she had also figured out Shu Yanjin's temper in the past few days, she only knew that she would never really punish people, if she was replaced by Shu Taijin and others, she would not have seen it at most, but Shu Yanjin was much easier to bully......

Just like Qing Yan now eats Shu Yanjin's temperament, he asks the kitchen to send him light vegetarian food every day, and he also says that he has no money, but Shu Wangjin, who doesn't have a long brain, really thinks that eating, drinking and staying here costs money, and he doesn't want to think about how the organizers of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce can still let the guests pay for food and drink, not to mention that the people who negotiate here are either rich or expensive, even if it is the organizer, it is also an extremely luxurious family, if it is spread out, saying that they still let the guests pay for food and drink, then they really can't afford to lose this person!

Shu Yanjin was reprimanded by Qing Yan like this, and couldn't help lowering her head, and went back to her room listlessly, looking at the bowls of seasonal vegetables and vegetables on the table, she was sad for a while, and almost didn't shed tears. (To be continued.) )
