The September night was chilly.

Qi Duo and Shen Nan stood on the hillside, neither of them spoke.

In fact, Qiduo was waiting for Shen Nanxing to ask about the crime, and then she would explain.

But Shen Nan kept silent, pursed his lips tightly, and his breathing was a little unsteady, he should be angry with Qiduo.

After being silent for a long time, Qiduo was the first to speak, "Ahem, that, do you have something to say to me?" ”

Shen Nan pursed his lips again, and turned to look at Qiduo, "Why do you want to refuse your mother's proposal, do you hate me?" ”

Qiduo is a little sweaty.

This kid is really straightforward.

In fact, she didn't know what to say, and after she finished speaking, Shen Nan's face was burning.

Fortunately, it was night, and Qiduo couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, otherwise he would have died of shame.

"I told my aunt about that, and it has nothing to do with hating, it's just that you and I are too young, and it's too early to get married at this time." Seven flowers explained.

But Shen Nan interrupted her, "You lie, you are not young at all." ”

Qi Duo rolled his eyes, and then said, "Brother Nan, I'm telling the truth, you are young and undecided, and you will be affected by many things in the future, maybe there will be variables." Brother Nan, let me ask you, if you have a girl you like more and like more in the future, how will you face me? Do you want to divorce me, or do you want to marry me reluctantly? ”

"I don't like any other girl than you! So what you say can't happen, do you still doubt my heart for you? Shen Nan replied in the affirmative.

"Brother Nan, I don't doubt your sincerity, it's just that there are no absolutes in the world. Anything can happen. I do. It just gives you and me enough freedom. If, three years later, you still think I'm good, then wouldn't it be the same if we brought it up again then? Wouldn't it be better if, three years later, you have another choice, and the two of you are still good brothers and sisters, and you don't hurt anyone? "Qiduodao.

"You have some truth in that, though. But I still hope to settle this matter now, so that I can concentrate more on the next exams. Shen Nan insisted on his own ideas.

"Brother Ruonan, you are very confident in yourself, why do you care about the past three years." Seven flowers also insisted.

Shen Nan suddenly sighed lightly and said, "Qiduo, in fact, it's not that I don't have confidence in myself, but I don't have confidence in you, do you know the way?" ”

Qiduo was surprised, "Don't have confidence in me? What do you mean? ”

I've always been a well-behaved and steady little girl, why would it make him insecure.

"Master!" Shen Nan said in a low voice.

"Ahh Master? "Qiduo is a little inexplicable, what does this brainless sentence mean.

"Seven. My master Wen Xiuyi seems to be a little different from you, don't you know? I don't know when I'll be back when I'm going to the capital, I'm ...... I'm worried that when Master comes back, he will snatch you away, and I won't regret it too late, so let's settle the family affairs first. Shen Nan voiced his worries.

In fact, he was a little aggrieved, he had no guesses with Qiduo, but Wen Xiuyi was inexplicably inserted in the middle, making him a threat.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have begged his mother to come and propose marriage now.

When Qiduo heard him say this, he remembered that Wen Xiuyi was his master.

At the mention of Wen Xiuyi, Qiduo smiled a little bitterly, "Brother Nan, you think too much, I am just good friends with him, there is no such thing as what you said, you can rest assured." ”

"But...... I'm still worried. Shen Nan frowned.

"Brother Nan, how about we make a three-year appointment, I promise that I will not marry anyone within these three years. In three years, if you have a better choice, how about I think about my family affairs again? "Seven positive color paths.

"No, it's not fair to you, and in three years' time, you're fifteen, and you're not too young to keep this covenant alone. In this way, I have also figured it out, let's take three years, if within three years, you meet a man who is better than me, you can get married.

And I promise that within three years, I will just study seriously, and I will not consider anything else, I just hope that after three years, the two of us can continue this century-old relationship. Shen Nan also said solemnly.

He really figured it out, since he likes Qiduo, he can't force her to marry him, maybe she has a better choice, it's too much for him to force it like this.

"Okay, let's make a three-year appointment, I believe that if there is fate, don't say three years, even if it is ten years, this fate will still be there." Qiduo nodded in response.

The two knelt down in front of the crooked moon and made a three-year agreement.

And Shen Nan silently made another wish, hoping that after he left Tanjiazhuang, the moon could guard Qiduo for him, protect her life of peace and security, and be happy every day.

I hope that the moon god has a spirit, so that he and Qiduo can conclude a hundred years of friendship after three years, and stay together for the rest of their lives.

Qiduo also silently made a wish to the moon, if there is really a moon god, then bless both of them to find the other half of their true love to spend their lives together!

The family affairs of the two were put aside, and everyone was busy.

Qiduo was busy making shoes and clothes for Shen Nan, and Zheng Wanru was busy packing up and handling the family's fields.

Erxia is also about to give birth, and the Xu family will go to the county seat to see her every other day, and bring some things such as chickens and eggs to nourish the body.

When Qiduo learned that Zheng Wanru was going to sell half of the family's fields, she went to Shen's house to stop them.

"Auntie, if you can trust me, I will take care of these fields for you, and I will send you the silver when the harvest is up every year." Seven Flowers.

The Shen family's field is not much, only a few dozen acres, and even if it is all sold, it will only have an income of two or three hundred taels of silver.

But if she takes care of it, she is confident that she will be able to earn this money in two years at most.

So, she thinks it's a shame to sell it now.

"Silly boy, leave it to me where you don't worry, I'm just afraid of tired you." Zheng Wanru smiled softly.

"Auntie, don't worry, you won't be tired. But, aunt, I have to make it clear to you that I may not be going to plant any more crops in these fields, okay? Qiduo said with a smile.

"Cheng, Qiduo, these fields will be handed over to you, you can do it yourself, you can plant whatever you want, you can treat it as your own field." Zheng Wanru smiled.

"Okay." Seven crisp responses.

On the second day, Zheng Wanru took Qiduo to see the specific location of the fields, otherwise she would not know which fields belonged to the Shen family.

Although the Shen family's fields are not many, they are all good and good fields, and no matter what they plant, they are all very suitable.

Seven made a secret note of their location, and mentally planned what to plant.

At the beginning, she also advised Zheng Wanru not to plant rice anymore, but Zheng Wanru thought that she was about to go to the capital and didn't want to plant other things, for fear of trouble.

Now it's given to Seven, and Seven will of course double their earnings.

And the stubble chicken raised by the Shen family will be ready to sell immediately, just before leaving, everything will be cleaned up.

As for the house in the family, it is the ancestral house of the Shen family, and it cannot be sold and is not ready to be sold.

Sister-in-law Li and Uncle He entered Beijing with the Shen family, they have been in the Shen family for many years, and have formed a deep relationship with the Shen family, Zheng Wanru is reluctant to leave them, and they are reluctant to leave the Shen family, where to find such a good master's family.

Everything was almost arranged on the Shen family's side, and Qiduo also went to the county to let Xu Youxuan settle the accounts.

She asked Xu Youxuan to calculate the account related to the oven, and to see how the income from the oven was this year, she would extract the part that belonged to Shen Nan and give it to him together with last year's.

Last year's four hundred and ten taels Shen Nan put it there with her, and after the beginning of the year, after her operation, the original four hundred and ten taels have become five hundred and thirty taels, earning more than one hundred taels.

Xu Youxuan quickly calculated the account, there are nearly ten months of income this year, a total of eight hundred taels, and last year the furnace was only sold for four or five months, so the income is less.

"Yes, yes, you can give him a big gift." Looking at the silver ticket in his hand, Qiduo smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"Shen Nan, when will they come back?" Xu Youxuan asked.

Qiduo shook his head, "They don't know about it themselves, it must depend on the situation." ”

Xu Youxuan nodded, and then said, "I suspect that the possibility of their family coming back is extremely small." ”

"For what?" Qiduo asked curiously, not knowing why he said this.

"You think, the three Shen Nan brothers have already been promoted, even if they don't do well in the exam, it shouldn't be difficult to help the three brothers find an official position according to Lord Shen's connections in the court. If they all entered the court as officials, how could Mrs. Shen and them come back again. Xu Youxuan analyzed.

"Third cousin, you have some truth, but my uncle has been worried about his family, and I don't know what official position he can get after joining the office next year, I hope it's just a fat shortage." Seven flowers.

"Lord Shen has a good reputation, and with the help of his former colleagues, his official position will not be bad." Xu Youxuan comforted.

Qiduo nodded yes.

Xu Youxuan looked at Qiduo, suddenly smiled, and asked with some gossip, "Shen Nan is leaving, Xiao Qi, are you reluctant?" ”

"Phew, third cousin, what nonsense are you talking about?" Qiduo didn't expect him to suddenly ask this, blushing.

Then she got up to say goodbye and went back to Tanjiazhuang first.

After returning to Tanjiazhuang, she put the silver ticket together, then put it in a small box and put it away, ready to give it to him with her clothes when the time came.

After these days of hard work, I don't know how many times my hand has been poked with a needle, the shoes are finally ready, and now I am sewing the brocade robe.

Considering that the weather was cold, Qiduo made a cotton robe for Shen Nan.

In the evening, when Qiduo and his family were preparing to have dinner, Shen Nan suddenly came in a hurry.

"Have you eaten?" Qiduo asked.

"Not yet, Qiduo, you come here, I'll tell you something." Shen Nan's expression was a little impatient.

When they saw this, they all covered their mouths and snickered.

Qiduo glared at them head, and then took Shen Nan to the study.

"What's wrong?" Qiduo was also very curious about why Shen Nan was excited.

"Master has sent me a letter." Shen Nan said in a low voice.

Qiduo didn't answer, knowing that he still had the following. (To be continued......)
