Chapter 211: The Topic of the Book

Chapter 211 The Topic of the Book

Shen Lan sat quietly for a long time, Shen Changhai came back from outside, when he came back, there were sweat stains on his clothes, the weather was already hot, he moved the ice back and forth, and naturally sweated, and he really saw Shen Lan sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, so he walked over and said, "Master." ”

"The ice is gone?" Shen Lan asked.

Shen Changhai nodded and replied, "I see that the ice that can't be used is wasted, so I asked Shopkeeper Xu to send someone to move it away, so that I can solicit business." ”

Shen Lan naturally knew about this matter, although she locked herself in the house, but the movement outside was not light, how could she not hear it, but she didn't want to get out of the house.

"Those ice are still useful if they hold water, as long as the things left over from boiling dry can still make ice, so you can run again later, and ask Shopkeeper Xu not to pour the ice water." Shen Lan was in no mood to care about the rest of the matter because she found out about the spatial change, so she also forgot to tell this matter, and now she can say a word to Shen Changhai.

"Yes, I'll go now." Anyway, the place is not far away, and Shen Changhai is not used to putting things off, so he feels that he has done it as soon as possible and is at ease as soon as possible.

Shen Lan didn't object, but asked Yuan Hao again: "When will Yuan Er's family come over?" I have something to bother him, and I want to go to Fucheng. ”

"Is it a trip to Fucheng?" Shen Changhai suddenly touched the root of Shen Lan's words, "It is also a crime to go to Fucheng in such a hot weather, it is better to wait for the weather to be cooler, and Changsheng will come back by then." Someone else is in charge of these things at home. ”

Shen Changhai meant that he could escort Shen Lan back and forth, but now because the family can't be lost, if Shen Lan wants to go out, there will be no one to accompany her, so Shen Changhai is a little uneasy, after all, Shen Lan can be pregnant now, plus the road is far away, I am afraid that it will take three or four days to travel, and the road is not safe, what can she do if a woman goes out and encounters a road robbery?

Shen Lan did not deny it. She wants to go out now. The first reason is that the matter of the space island is imminent, the second reason is that she is getting older and older, and now she is afraid that she will not be able to go out in the future, and the third reason is that Shen Changhai grew up on the space island after all. In case she witnessed her deal with those people on the island. When the time comes, there will also be different hearts. At that time, things will be difficult to do, so I don't want the people around me to follow who know about the space island.

"What you said also makes sense, just wait for Changsheng to come back after finishing his errands. Isn't my body getting heavier? Yuan Er has always been in charge, and it is not difficult for him to arrange a few people to escort me back and forth. Shen Lan replied lightly.

Shen Changhai naturally knows this reason, but Yuan Er's thoughts about his master, he also sees it in his eyes, so he is naturally a little reassured, although his master is Shen Lan, and he doesn't think much of Shen Lan's husband, but for the sake of his master's reputation, he still doesn't approve of his master going to Fucheng with Yuan Er.

"Master, is there something urgent? If it's urgent, it's better to let me go down for a trip, it's better than the master dragging such a heavy body out of the house. After thinking about it, Shen Changhai felt that if he let Shen Lan go out, it would be better to let himself go, so as to avoid the fatigue of the master's travel.

Hearing this, Shen Lan was stunned, and couldn't think of any excuse for herself for a while, but she didn't want Shen Changhai to know what was wrong with her side, no matter what, there were only a few people she could use now, and she couldn't let them notice anything, and when the time came, if they joined forces to betray her, she would be a lot more passive, and now the space couldn't go in, so thinking about it, Shen Lan had to give up temporarily.

"Forget it, since you don't worry about me going out, I also want to see Jinzhou Mansion, I haven't left Jixian since I was a child." Shen Lan put on a look of pity, Shen Changhai on the side saw it, and immediately said: "Master, when you give birth to the little master, you don't want to go wherever you want, why be so anxious, when the time comes, I and Changsheng will accompany the master, protect the master and the little masters, and I am not afraid of being robbed by bad people, and there are a few of us waiting in front of the saddle and behind the horse, not much more wanton than going out now." ”

Shen Lan nodded, as if she was convinced, and ordered: "Okay, you go and do something, just put this matter aside, just go out later as you say." ”

After Shen Changhai was instructed to retreat, he turned around and went out to run errands, leaving Shen Lan a little lacking in interest, and even the things that were originally planned to make soap were not interested.

Next, the ice-making matter was handed over to Shen Changhai, because there was an ice basin in the box, so it was easy for the box to be out, and there were also a lot of foods made of ice in the food, so the business was naturally better, compared to other restaurants, Shiweixuan's business can only be described as a market, and the ice-making process is only known to Shen Changhai except for Shen Lan, Shen Lan herself will definitely not say, Shen Changhai is even more closed like an old clam mouth, no one asks about it, It is only said that the craftsmanship handed down by the ancestors is not for outsiders, and the time that Shen Changhai appeared is indeed less than a year, so people think that it is the craftsmanship of Shen Changhai's family, and no one will come to trouble Shen Lan when there is such a misunderstanding, but concentrate on how to poach Shen Changhai.

Yuan Hao also heard about Shiweixuan on the mountain, so he couldn't sit still, it just so happened that he also had to settle the payment with Shen Lan, so he didn't bring anyone, he rode a horse alone and went to Shen's house, Shen Changhai was not at home because he had to deal with the matter of making ice, Shen Da who was guarding the door opened the side door and poked his head out, only to see Yuan Hao holding the whip in one hand and holding the reins in the other hand Standing outside, he hurriedly opened the door, and trotted out of the door and walked to Yuan Hao's side.

"Second Master Yuan is here, the big housekeeper is out, the second housekeeper is busy in the shop now, but no one greets Second Master Yuan, if the second master doesn't mind, the little one will inform you, and then lead the horse to the stable." Shen Changhai had already ordered that Yuan Hao might come to visit in the next few days, so it was not strange for Yuan Hao to appear here.

Yuan Hao also knew that Shen Lan was short of manpower here now, so he didn't pay attention to it, he just nodded, Shen Da hurriedly entered the door, and Yuan Hao had to wait outside. After a while, Shen Da ran out of the door and said to Yuan Hao: "Second Master Yuan, our wife invites you to come in, and the reins will be handed over to the little one." ”

Yuan Hao handed over the reins without saying a word, and at this time there was a familiar woman waiting at the door, Yuan Hao naturally knew the people around Shen Lan, but it was Feng who came out to greet Yuan Hao, and he usually didn't often accompany Shen Lan, so it was normal for him to not recognize him.

"The second master comes with the old slave." Feng Shi said that he would lead the way in front, and Yuan Hao followed behind.

Yuan Hao can also be regarded as Shen Lan's regular customer. So Feng didn't take him to the outer study to meet. Instead, he went directly through the courtyard to the hall of the main house, and after entering the house, Feng Shi bent his knees slightly and said: "The second master will later, the old slave will go to serve tea to the second master, and the wife will come out later." ”

Yuan Hao didn't say anything. He turned around and sat down on the chair next to him. Over there, Shen Lan was in the back room, and Xu was helping her comb her hair. Originally, Shen Lan didn't expect Yuan Hao to visit at this time, so she was naturally a little more casual in her own home, and the clothes on her body and the bun on her head were not suitable for receiving guests. I had to let Yuan Hao wait for a while.

When Shen Lan got dressed and walked out of the house, Yuan Hao was drinking tea with a cup, and when he saw Shen Lan coming out, he put the cup on the coffee table on the side, and said with a smile: "I heard that you have recently tossed a new gadget?" What the hell is going on? ”

Shen Lan walked to the main seat and sat down, stretched out her hand to signal Xu to go down, there was already a cup of tea on the table on the side, you don't need to look at Shen Lan to know that it is not tea, it should be that she is used to drinking jujube water, since she was pregnant again, she has not drunk tea anymore, tea is not good for children, so she usually either drinks water soaked in dates, or drinks some appetizing hawthorn soaked water, but hawthorn water can not be drunk more, hawthorn is actually not good for pregnancy.

"You mean ice?" Shen Lan asked with a smile, Yuan Hao nodded, "I happened to see it from an ancient book, and I tried to do it according to the above method, but I didn't expect it to be successful." ”

"Ancient books?" Yuan Hao's expression was a little weird, he thought he had read poetry and books, why didn't he see it?

"Well, it seems to be "Heavenly Creation"." In fact, Shen Lan is also talking nonsense, anyway, in her memory, this book is an ancient science and technology book, which records a lot of ancient skills, and the time when this book appeared was at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and I don't know if there is one at this time.

Obviously, Yuan Hao hadn't heard of it, so Yuan Hao said very calmly: "There is such a book, why don't you lend it to me?" ”

Shen Lan is embarrassed, where did she change a copy of "Heavenly Creation"? I was flustered for a while, but I didn't know how to answer, so I hurriedly picked up the teacup on the side and pretended to drink tea, but I was secretly thinking about how to answer Yuan Hao.

Then after drinking tea, Shen Lan thought about it for a while, slowly put down the teacup, and said with a smile: "It's not a coincidence, this book is gone?" ”

Hearing this, Yuan Hao couldn't help but be a little anxious, at this time, people cherish books, especially such a magical book, Yuan Hao unconsciously wanted to read it, so he couldn't help but ask: "How can it be gone?" Why is a good book gone? ”

Seeing this, Shen Lan showed a helpless look, sighed and said: "I found this book in the crack of the wall of the old house, when my mother was serving my confinement, she took this book by chance to start a fire, so the book was gone." ”

Hearing Shen Lan say this, Yuan Hao was dumbfounded, such a magical book was actually used to ignite the fire, he was really crazy, but looking at Shen Lan who was sitting there with a look of remorse, he couldn't say anything accusatory for a while, so he could only open it firmly: "Since that's the case, it's useless, don't care too much." ”

Shen Lan secretly rolled her eyes in her heart when she heard this, but she was afraid that the person who was in this heartache was not herself, but Yuan Hao.

"It's all burned, what else can I do? But you're far away, so if you see this book, bring me a copy, which talks a lot about the inheritance of skills. Shen Lan is also not sure whether Song Yingxing has been reincarnated, and then wrote this book, if there is really this book, it is good for her to collect it, maybe she can learn a lot from it.

Yuan Hao saw that Shen Lan was sincere, and he was interested in this book, only if Shen Lan had really read this book, he also felt that this book was not alone, so he admitted: "Okay, if you meet it, I will definitely buy you a copy." ”

In fact, Shen Lan didn't need to be sure, so he said that, the topic of the book was over, so Shen Lan asked, "What is the matter with you coming over today?" ”

"I almost forgot about it when you interrupted it, I came to give you money today, oh, these are five gold leaves, you put it away." Saying that, Yuan Hao took out five golden gold leaves from his arms, this gold leaf is almost one or two gold, which can be directly used as silver coins, and it is easy to carry.

Shen Lan was not polite, accepted these gold leaves, and then said, "I want to go to Jinzhou Mansion, can you arrange a few people for me?" ”

"How did you come up with the idea of going out of the Golden State Mansion? You're heavy now, and it's not convenient to go there, so it's not good in case you go on a business trip. Yuan Hao brought the teacup again to drink water.

Shen Lan naturally didn't want to tell him that going to Jinzhou was just an excuse, mainly because she wanted to find a place to get all the people on the space island out, and she couldn't use her own space now, and after Shen Changsheng came back, she would have to use the space island, and now the people on the space island no longer obeyed her, and naturally she would not be willing to hand over the grain and grain that she had worked so hard to grow, even if she could forcibly take out the things, I was afraid that those people might make trouble, and the gains would outweigh the losses.

"Speaking of it, it's also for a little family matter, you know, my sister was lost last year, and a few days ago I received a letter from my servant, saying that it seemed that I saw my sister in Jinzhou." Shen Lan thought about it for a long time, and finally let her come up with a reason to go to Jinzhou, that is, Shen Lian, Shen Lian has been running away from home for several months, and she sent someone to find it, and now it is not impossible to get a little letter, so she wants to use this matter as an excuse to go out.

What Shen Lan said was not false, so Yuan Hao listened noncommittally, and saw that Shen Lan didn't mean to continue, so he asked, "Where did you see it?" ”

Hearing this, Shen Lan showed a hint of embarrassment, Yuan Hao saw this and said: "If it's inconvenient to say it, forget it, I just want to escort a batch of goods to Jinzhou, if you want to say that it's okay for you to follow me, it's just that the government of this private salt is strictly investigated, and it will be bad for you to be affected by the time, otherwise it will be no problem for me to take you over personally." ”

Thinking of this, Yuan Hao was a little depressed, and entrusted Shen Lan to his subordinates to send him to Jinzhou Mansion, he couldn't rest assured, after all, the road was far away, just a carriage ride was good for three or four days, although this road was not difficult and dangerous, and it was also an official road, but in case of a small night that was not long-sighted, how could it be good?
