Chapter Seventy-One
"Where is Xianggong going to Jiangnan? How long will it take? ”
Lin Zhiyun was a little nervous, for fear that Shen Junchuan would leave for a long time.
Since she left the Lin family, she has been living a good life. Although this is due to the fact that she has never slackened her weaving and embroidery, Shen Junchuan has also helped a lot. And without Shen Junchuan, there would be three weak female streamers left in their family, and they always felt unsafe. In the past, because Shen Junchuan didn't dare to find the people who came to the door, during Shen Junchuan's absence, he was afraid that he would flock to him.
She is already very dependent on Shen Junchuan now, and as soon as she heard that Shen Junchuan was going to leave for a while, she couldn't help but grab Shen Junchuan's sleeve.
Shen Junchuan was so moved by her small action that his heart melted, and he even had an urge to take Lin Zhiyun away with him.
But this is just an impulse, he promised to take Lin Zhiyun to Jiangnan, but now is not the time.
"The three states that are going to the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River are indeed a bit far from here, and it will take about three months to go back and forth and study tours."
Lin Zhiyun was even more unhappy when he heard this: "Then wouldn't it be just in time for the New Year when the prime minister came back?" ”
"Pretty much." Shen Junchuan also felt that this time was a bit long, but this opportunity to study was rare, and he couldn't give up easily, "What do you like, I'll bring it back to you then?" ”
Of course, what Lin Zhiyun likes is that Shen Junchuan can stay, but she also knows that this is impossible, so she can only retreat.
"Silk is the most developed in Jiangnan, and I heard that there is a kind of cloth called silk there, which I have never seen before. If you see silk in Jiangnan this time, bring me a small piece back. ”
"It's easy, I'll do it for you, there should be something else besides this, right? Aren't you curious about the patterns that are popular in Jiangnan? Shen Junchuan asked.
Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "Naturally, I am also curious, but Jiangnan pays tribute to a large amount of silk every year, and there must be a lot of new patterns every year." Xianggong is going to study and study, and he shouldn't put his mind on collecting these patterns. He thought that he would collect these patterns for me, it would be better to study hard, raise people in the exam as soon as possible, and take me directly over when the time comes, wouldn't it be good to see it yourself? ”
Shen Junchuan couldn't help but scratch her nose and smiled: "Okay, I will definitely take you over to see it myself when the time comes." ”
When the time comes, he will definitely take her over, this is what Shen Junchuan promised her a long time ago, and he will naturally find a way to do it. It's just that he doesn't know how far away it will be when the time comes, so this time he has the opportunity to go to Jiangnan, as long as he is free, he is also willing to collect and copy some patterns and bring them back to Lin Zhiyun, he believes that Lin Zhiyun will be very happy at that time.
"That's good, there are no other requirements, I just hope that Xianggong can take good care of himself and must eat on time every day. It's probably impossible for you to go to bed on time, but the rest time must be enough, otherwise if you don't rest enough, Xianggong will get twice the result when he is studying. Lin Zhiyun advised, "Remember to add clothes when it's cold, I made so many clothes for you, not for you to put in the cabinet as decorations, this time you must bring a few more pieces, change when you should change, don't be embarrassed." ”
Shen Junchuan smiled: "I'm embarrassed, I'm reluctant to wear it." ”
"Then it shouldn't be, the clothes are ready to be worn, and if you put them in the cabinet and stay still, is it for insects to bite?" Lin Zhiyun glanced at him.
Shen Junchuan couldn't help but be even happier: "You and I have been clarifying for so long, it's the first time I've heard you nag like this." ”
Lin Zhiyun was a little dissatisfied: "Xianggong, is this annoying me?" ”
"Where is it, where does the husband dare to annoy you?" Shen Junchuan said with a smile, "It's too late for you to tell me to be happy like this, but after you finish telling me here, you will go out and tell your mother in a while, and your mother will probably have to keep an eye on it again, maybe my sister will tell me a hundred million times on a whim, and then I'm afraid that my ears will be calloused." ”
Shen Junchuan thought to himself, fortunately, he didn't say it until he was about to go out. This matter was announced half a month ago, if he told them half a month ago, he was afraid that he would be nagged by the three women in the family for half a month, then would he still be able to read the book? I'm afraid I'm going to be noisy and my head hurts.
Although his wife, mother and sister are all for his good, and he also appreciates it in his heart, he really can't stand the repeated advice of others. In the past, his mother always told him not to go out and fool around with people, but at that time he was always very impatient, thinking, if he didn't get up early every day and go out to work in the dark, where would he have the money to treat his mother? Where can they have the money to pay off their debts?
Although his father went bankrupt and paid off all the debts owed by his third uncle, this led to the fact that when his father died, their family had no money for the funeral, so they borrowed some from others piecemeal. After the funeral, their family didn't have rice to cook, so they had to borrow some. Those people in the Shen family are lazy, stupid, stupid, none of them are okay, and he has always been supporting the portal before the boys in the third room grow up.
He is also very tired, he doesn't want to get up early every day and go out in the dark, and he doesn't want to raise such a large group of people, especially the second room. But he has no other way, he can't count on the group of rice in the second room to support the family, right?
Therefore, every time he felt that his mother was going to open his mouth, he would hurriedly dodge, acting impatient, which had formed a kind of conditioned reflex arc, and now as long as his mother opened his mouth, he subconsciously wanted to run. He thought that he had been impatient to listen to other people's nagging all his life, but when Lin Zhiyun nagged him like this, he was a little happy.
Probably because he was nagged by Lin Zhiyun for the first time, and Lin Zhiyun's nagging was full of care, which was his favorite feeling.
He didn't want to leave even if he had a wife.
Lin Zhiyun said softly: "You can't blame your mother and sister for nagging, which of them is not for your good?" And they have suffered so much before, and now if you leave this time for a while, there will definitely be a lot of ghosts, snakes, and gods who will shoot at the goal. With the sensitivity of their sister's clever mother, they would definitely think of this, and they would only be more uneasy when the time came. ”
"Are you also uneasy?" Shen Junchuan asked her.
Lin Zhiyun subconsciously wanted to deny it, but she thought that she and Shen Junchuan had said before that there should be no secrets between each other, so she nodded honestly.
"I do feel a little uneasy. To be honest, our family has been able to get to where we are today because of the things you did in the village back then. They are afraid that you will not dare to offend you, so that I can gain a firm foothold in this circle, but once you leave those people, I am only afraid of ......"
Their family is now a big tree, and once Shen Junchuan leaves, there will definitely be a lot of trouble coming to the door. There were some things he could figure out, but if there were ruffians and hooligans coming to the door in droves, she was just a weak woman, and there was no way at all. In fact, there are two more delicate women in the family, and she doesn't know what to do.
When Shen Junchuan heard Lin Zhiyun's words, his expression became solemn. He knew that his wife and sister were soft on the outside and strong on the inside, but this soft outside and strong on the inside were vulnerable under the absolute force of men. Especially when there is a woman like her mother in their family, who is weak from the inside out, I am afraid that she will cry and drag her feet back, so that those two women who are soft on the outside and strong on the inside are no longer firm in their hearts.
"In this case, let the traveling merchant run less outside during this time, and let him live in Carpenter Zhang's house, so that he can watch you at all times. Anyway, he is now married to his sister, and if he lives nearby, he will come to help when he encounters something, and the people in the village will not gossip. ”
Lin Zhiyun nodded, thinking that this idea was not bad.
"Carpenter Zhang's family will usually benefit you, not to mention that Leizi is my brother from childhood to adulthood, and he will definitely help him." Shen Junchuan thought for a while and said, "I still have some brothers in the village, and I can also let them walk around the neighborhood often during this time, and if someone comes to the door to ask for trouble, they can help immediately." ”
"Wouldn't this be too exciting?" Lin Zhiyun hesitated.
The traveling merchant is an orphan, and no one will criticize him for living during this time. And Carpenter Zhang's family originally lived next door to them, and it was normal for them to come over to help at any time. But if you want to ask other brothers who live far away to run here from time to time, Lin Zhiyun feels that it is not good.
She doesn't like to trouble others, and although she doesn't pretend at critical times, if a large group of men often walk around her, the people in the village will definitely gossip.
Lin Zhiyun didn't care much about her reputation in the past, but now that she is married, and Shen Junchuan is a scholar whose reputation cannot be tainted, she should always pay attention.
What's more, she used to say that she was lazy, and such a reputation just made it difficult for her to get married. But if it is rumored to damage her innocent reputation, then she is afraid that she will not be able to be a person in the future.
Shen Junchuan also thought of the consequences, and couldn't help but reach out and pat his head: "It's my concern that I take it for granted, if I really do that, I'm afraid that there will be more trouble at home at that time." I can't help it, so why don't I go to the academy and ask other classmates. Anyway, it will be a few more days before I go out, and I can always figure out a solution during this time. ”
Lin Zhiyun nodded.
Shen Junchuan was the best with Su Jin in the academy, so the first person he asked was also Su Jin.
Su Jin felt that there was nothing to consider about this style issue: "Of course it's inconvenient for you to find a foreign man to look at your sister-in-law, but can't you just find a few guards?" ”
Shen Junchuan said helplessly: "If there is no male host at home, it is not good for her reputation to have a few more male guards." ”
"That's true, but why don't you just find a few female guards?"
In Su Jin's opinion, this is not a problem at all.
Shen Junchuan was surprised: "Do you still have female guards in your family?" ”
"Of course, Brother Shen, I'll see you if you need to." Su Jin said generously.
