On the way to the Shen family, Luo Qinghe understood why it was so difficult for the ancients to go out

Fengyuan is only more than eighty miles away from Luoquan Town, and it only takes more than half an hour to drive in modern times, but now the three of them have been bumping on the dirt road for three days.

At this time, the traffic was not developed, and the road was almost all pedestrians stepping out day after day, and this road was 1 rugged, and even a section of the road was forced to detour for more than 30 miles just to bypass the river.

The wooden hard wheels were bumpy on the uneven road, and Luo Qinghe and Shopkeeper Wang felt that their bones were about to fall apart.

However, this Shen Li has been going out since he was a child, either riding a horse or riding a carriage, and he does not feel uncomfortable.

But as soon as he saw Luo Qinghe's face full of sadness, moving his hands and feet from time to time, and looking very uncomfortable, he said distressedly: "I originally thought that it would be faster to drive the carriage, but I didn't expect you to be so uncomfortable, why don't we go directly to the dock and take a boat to Fengyuan, although it is farther, it is not so bumpy." ”

After hearing this, Luo Qinghe thought to himself: It is so uncomfortable to ride in the carriage, if you change boats, I am afraid that the swaying bile will be vomited.

Hearing Shen Li be so polite, Shopkeeper Wang couldn't bear to make any more trouble, shook his head and said, "It's okay, you just have to hurry." ”

In fact, Shen Li also wanted to get home early, so that Mrs. Shen could officially announce his marriage contract with Luo Qinghe as soon as possible, so that no one could object.

This shopkeeper Wang has lived at this age, and he has seen Shen Li's affection early, although this grandson-in-law makes him very relieved, but as for whether these two people can worship heaven and earth, the shopkeeper Wang is really bottomless in his heart at the moment.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, the carriage finally swayed to Fengyuan County. When the shopkeeper saw that he had entered the city, he proposed to buy some gifts for the Shen family as a greeting gift, and then stayed outside, and waited for the next morning to officially go to the Shen family to say hello.

But before Shen Li could object, a group of Shen family's subordinates suddenly rushed in front of him, and directly surrounded the carriage, and the person at the head said very enthusiastically to Shen Li: "Little ancestor! If you don't go home, we're going to have our legs broken! ”

Shen Li frowned, he didn't like to listen to them at all, he just threw a few bounties and introduced Luo Qinghe's identity to them.

Now people are also very snobbish, and when they saw Luo Qinghe and the shopkeeper Wang dressed in coarse linen clothes, and there were patches on their baggage, they looked down on them.

However, the person who took the lead had seen the world in the end, and he did not lose his manners, and reprimanded: "You give me a little politeness!" Don't be embarrassed in front of outsiders! ”

Seeing their attitude, the shopkeeper Wang secretly said that it was not good, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the subordinate who came back from the report: "Mrs. Shen said, you must not neglect Miss Qinghe!" ”

Seeing their inconsistencies of attitude, Shopkeeper Wang was a little confused: the subordinates all acted according to the color of the master's house, and the attitude of this group of people was clearly very distant, but this would be Mrs. Shen's words like a sincere hospitality...

It's all here, it's useless to think so much! Shopkeeper Wang couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head and gave up, and went to the Shen family with them.

The gate of the Shen family is extremely magnificent, and it is getting dark, and there are still many visitors in front of the door. Luo Qinghe looked at it from a distance, and sighed in his heart: I thought that the Fang family was already quite a wealthy family, but I didn't expect that this Shen family's mansion was many times more luxurious than the Fang family.

However, the carriage did not stop in front of the main entrance, but went straight around and stopped at the most remote back door.

"Who told you to come here! Hurry up and get me back! Shen Li said dissatisfied.

But the person who set up the car didn't move, but said respectfully: "Little master, there are many visitors at the main gate, this girl's family is not good to show up, let's go from here." ”

Shen Li was about to get angry when he heard this, but the shopkeeper Wang felt that it was a little inappropriate to quarrel here, so he preemptively said: "What this coachman said is also right, let's go from here." ”

Seeing that the shopkeeper Wang had spoken, Shen Li couldn't say anything, so he could only hurriedly jump out of the car and wait aside, but a young master did the work of a doorman and brought the two into the door.

Luo Qinghe also saw the Shen family's negligence, and it could be seen that Shen Li treated him so sincerely, so he smiled at him.

But her smile made Shen Li feel like his heart was about to melt.

"Yo! This is the girl from the Luo family, a little face is really handsome! As soon as the three of them walked into the garden, they saw a woman in brocade clothes trembling and trembling to greet them.

Shen Li hurriedly explained: "She is my eldest sister. ”

"I've seen the eldest lady." When Luo Qinghe heard this, he politely gave a salute.

"Yikes! I didn't expect you to be so polite! This Miss Shen looked kind, but there was another meaning in her words: "It's so late, my mother has already fallen asleep, you go to the guest room with me to rest for a night, and let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

As soon as he heard this, Shen Li felt that something was wrong: when did his mother go to bed so early? Besides, she knew that the guests were coming, so she went to sleep first?

"Miss Xie arranged, we happen to be a little tired and want to find a place to rest." Shopkeeper Wang directly agreed to Miss Shen's words.

The shopkeeper Wang said so, and Shen Li couldn't refute it anymore, so he could only instruct two sentences, and then said, "Then I'll go see grandpa first." ”

Miss Shen thought that Shen Lihui would take Luo Qinghe to see Mrs. Shen regardless of it, but now that he stopped like this, Miss Shen also let down her guard and led Luo Qinghe and Shopkeeper Wang to the wing.

As soon as she entered the wing, Miss Shen said enthusiastically: "Please also ask for your understanding, because the birthday banquet will be held soon, so the rest of the house is already full, and only here is left." ”

After hearing this, the shopkeeper Wang thanked him without hesitation. But Luo Qinghe looked around, touched the window lattice again, and raised his hand to find that his hands were full of dust.

When Luo Qinghe saw it, he pretended to clap his hand unintentionally, and walked to the table to pick up the teacup to take a look, only to see that the water in it had turned rust-colored, but he was afraid that it had been left for several days.

Luo Qinghe thought about it again, put on a harmless smile and handed the teacup to Miss Shen and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss is so entertained, drink some water and rest!" ”

Seeing this water, Miss Shen sneered, and also felt that her face was a little unbearable, so she hurriedly reproached: "What's the matter with you? Why can't even prepare tea, isn't this embarrassing for the Shen family in front of the guests! ”

Shopkeeper Wang thought that this matter was an oversight, so he wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, but suddenly saw Luo Qinghe's eyes on him.

As soon as Miss Shen's words fell, there were suddenly a few more maids in the room, who were a little busy cleaning the windows for tea, and making the bed again.

This is obviously not cleaned up from beginning to end! At this time, the shopkeeper Wang also saw the greasyness in it, and he made a straight face and didn't say a word.

Seeing that her little tricks were exposed, Miss Shen was also a little embarrassed and wanted to explain, but saw that the two of them ignored their thoughts at all.

But it's a bit unruly to go out directly... Miss Shen had to wait for the maid to finish tidying up the surroundings before she sneered: "I have already asked my subordinates to tidy up this negligence again, let's rest early!" ”

At this time, the shopkeeper Wang responded gently, but he didn't look at Miss Shen.

Miss Shen knew that she was at a loss, so she hurriedly ran away, leaving Luo Qinghe and Shopkeeper Wang speechless, and their feelings were complicated.

"I'll wait for you to wash up, and then rest!" Luo Qinghe opened his mouth first.

Shopkeeper Wang was not in the mood to say more, so he nodded in response.

After Miss Shen left the room, she went straight to Mrs. Shen's room, and said with a sad face: "I think Luo Qinghe's girl is really not simple!" ”

Saying that, Miss Shen carefully explained the matter of Fang Cai again.

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen was very disdainful and said, "How can it be if it's not simple?" It's just a small family that makes dim sum, and it's not enough to worry about! You just need to take care of your brother, and you must let him stay away from Luo Qinghe! ”

"Why do you want me to stay away from people!" Before Mrs. Shen's words were finished, Shen Li's dissatisfied voice came from outside.

This Shen Li complained, pushed the door open, and said angrily: "That day, you clearly promised me that you could marry her if you won the bet, but now you have broken your promise!" But it's clearly a grandfather's marriage, and none of you are qualified to stop it! ”

"What kind of system does it become to talk to elders with such an attitude!" Mrs. Shen reprimanded twice, but she couldn't bear to blame her child on the tip of her heart, so she could only shout to her family: "Are you all blind?" What do I want you to do there! When the young master comes, he will say it! ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Miss Shen hurriedly reassured: "Li'er, my mother wants to say that your men and women are unmarried, how can there be any reason to meet before getting married?" Mother, this is also afraid that we will lose our etiquette, so I let you avoid it! ”

In fact, Shen Weizhong didn't want to believe that his mother was a wicked person, so when he heard this, his face softened a lot.

Seeing Shen Li's attitude, Miss Shen was busy hitting the railroad while it was hot: "Do you know that my mother just ordered her subordinates to hold a reception banquet for the two of the Wang family, but you just talked like that, didn't it hurt my mother's heart?" ”

As soon as he heard that Mrs. Shen was going to entertain Luo Qinghe and the shopkeeper Wang, Shen Li suddenly lost his anger, and hurriedly rubbed in front of Mrs. Hou to be coquettish.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Shen naturally couldn't get angry anymore, and teased Shen Li a few words before allowing him to leave.

After Shen left the door, Mrs. Shen asked the maid to fetch a fine woven cloud brocade, and gave it to Miss Shen and said: "This is a holy reward for your father, and the whole of Nanyue can only be used in the palace, so your brother is going to take a horse when he sees it, so you can take the rest!" ”

Miss Shen knew in her heart that the reason why she was able to get this valuable thing was all because of what she had just done and Mrs. Shen's wishes, so she took it as a matter of course.

After that, Mrs. Shen told her a new plan, and Miss Shen reacted quickly, and immediately went to the side room again, and found a reason that Mrs. Shen had already gone to bed, but as soon as she heard that Luo Qinghe and the shopkeeper Wang were coming, she got up again to freshen up and dress up, saying that she would give them a reception banquet.
