Chapter 182: The Thief

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Fu, who was slapped in the face on the spot, suddenly looked embarrassed, hurriedly said something, and went to other places.

Qiu Shumin also lowered her head and returned to the room that Shen Fu gave her on the boat.

Seeing these two people being amused by themselves and running away, Lin Yuan was very proud.

"Kite, your face is not very good, is it because I was not gentle enough with you last night?" Zhao Yun suddenly approached Lin Yuan's ear, and a low and magnetic voice sounded softly.

Lin Kite's whole body was tense, and her cold earlobes touched something soft and warm, which frightened Lin Kite's neck, and she didn't dare to look at Zhao Yun, so she also fled, leaving only one sentence: "I'm afraid you have some strange dreams!" ”

They didn't do anything last night! Why did she tease Shen Fu and Qiu Shumin, but Zhao Yun came to tease her!

An hour and a half after the restart, the boat docked at the ferry port in Huaiyin City.

Qiu Shumin looked at the place in front of him, which was already very familiar, couldn't hide his joy, and asked Lin Yuan: "Sister Kite, are you here to play in Huaiyin City?" ”

"That's right, I heard that Huaiyin City will hold a dragon boat race in a few days."

"A few of you have a life-saving grace for Shu Min, if you don't dislike it, why don't you come to my house for a few days? I am very familiar with Huaiyin City, and I can take you around. When Qiu Shumin said this, he couldn't help but glance at Shen Fu.

Lin Yuan didn't answer, but also looked at Shen Fu, she thought that Shen Fu would definitely agree, after all, he had feelings for Qiu Shumin at a glance, and he took the opportunity to live in Qiu Mansion, just to cultivate a relationship with Qiu Shumin.

But Shen Fu refused: "We appreciate Miss Qiu's kindness, but it's really not convenient." ”

Qiu Shumin's face was a little ugly, and he left with the maid and the servants.

"Brother, why do you refuse people?" Lin Kite didn't understand.

Looking at the back of Qiu Shumin leaving, Shen Fu was also a little sad, but he still shook his head and said: "We are just saving people, if we rush to Qiu Mansion, it will inevitably make people think that we are asking for returns, not to mention ......"

Shen Fu didn't say the rest of the words, but Lin Yuan continued his words and said, "What's more, you don't want the news of Miss Qiu's rescue to spread out, so as not to ruin Miss Qiu's reputation?" ”

Aren't you afraid of ruining Qiu Shumin's reputation? After all, if they followed them to Qiu Mansion together, there were many of them, and most of them were men, so it would be inevitable that there would be speculation when they were seen.

A group of men rescue a little girl who gets wet in the rain to a boat overnight, and who knows what others will think?

But if everyone only knows that Miss Qiu was rescued, but they don't know who rescued her, the discussion will be quieter.

"Find an inn, it's not convenient to live in someone else's house." Zhao Yun said.

said that he was here to play, but Zhao Yun, as the emperor, when he arrived at a place, he must have to inspect the people's situation in micro-service, if he lived in Qiu's mansion, it was really inconvenient to go in and out every day, and he also had a lot of secret guards by his side.

In the end, after everyone entered the city, they hired a few small boats and began to shuttle through the rivers in the city.

Looking at the stone bridges that appear every other distance on the river, and the people on the stone bridges selling walkers, Lin Kite was excited, this is a real water city!

Soon, everyone came to the largest inn in Huaiyin City, "Come to the Guest Inn".

Because the dragon boat race is about to happen, there are already a lot of tourists who have come from other places to watch the dragon boat race, so there are not many rooms left, just two. Zhao Yun and Lin Yuan were in one room, the maid Cuizhu was guarding in the outer room and sleeping on the couch in the outer room, General Guo and Shen Fu were in the same room, and the little girl Sang Zi slept in the outer room of their room.

The place to live was done, and then everyone planned to have a good meal at the inn first, and then inquire with Xiao Er's about what fun things were in Huaiyin City, but as soon as they left the room, they met Master Shen and Mrs. Shen, who were supposed to stay in Zheng'an City.

"Daddy, why are you here?" Shen Fu was surprised.

And looking at the appearance of Master Shen and Mrs. Shen, it seems that they have not just arrived, but have arrived before them.

Master Shen saw that his children were fine, so he relieved himself and explained: "Yesterday we heard that a boat sank on the Huaiyin River, and your mother and I were worried...... So I came overnight, and I didn't meet your boat on the way, but my mother was worried. ”

"yes, it scared my dad to death, you know?" Mrs. Shen coaxed, holding Shen Fu's hand with one hand, and protecting Lin Kite's back with the other.

Lin Yuan soothed: "Mother, we saw a torrential rain last night, and we were worried that there would be floods, so we found a place to rest." There are a lot of reeds growing in that place, so it's normal for your boat to pass by and not see us. ”

"Yes, I should have missed it at that time, so I made my father and mother worried."

Mrs. Shen smiled: "Well, it's okay, your father told me at the time that he didn't meet anyone, maybe you have already arrived in Huaiyin City, who knew that we arrived in Huaiyin City first." ”

Zhao Yun saw them chatting, and he was not idle, so he and General Guo first went to find a place to sit down, and ordered all the food and drink.

Shen Fu and the others walked downstairs while chatting about things along the way.

"Mother, not only are we fine, but my brother also saved my sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law?" Mrs. Shen and Master Shen were surprised.

Shen Fu was ashamed: "Sister, don't talk nonsense. ”

"Why am I talking nonsense? Brother, don't you like Qiu Min's sister? If you don't like it, I'll see her another day, and I'll tell her you don't like her. ”

Shen Fu was suddenly anxious, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Okay, kite, don't tease your brother, he is a good person, he does everything well, but he doesn't understand his feelings, like an elm stunned."

"Mother, how can you say that about me?"

In the midst of laughter and discussion, everyone had already come to the table booked by Zhao Yun and General Guo.

Zhao Yun pulled a stool for Lin Yuan to sit down, and then poured tea for her, which can be said to be very attentive and considerate in front of her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

The little second brother kept serving the food, and the hungry people didn't continue the topic just now, and ate first.

Lin Kite also felt good when he ate this, and he also felt fresh about that.

"This is delicious, Zhao Yun, you can taste it." Lin Yuan gave a piece of bamboo shoots to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun nodded after taking a bite: "It's good, but it's not as delicious as the kite makes." ”

"Then if I have the chance, I will make more bamboo shoots for you, but Gong ...... The bamboo shoots at home are not fresh, I see that it is better to plant a few bamboos directly in the yard in the future, and when the bamboo shoots grow, they can be dug and eaten directly, which is much fresher than the ones bought outside. ”

"Okay, whatever you think is delicious, you can grow it, by the way, those potatoes, I have already sent someone back to plant them first."

The potatoes were dug up before and planned to be brought back to Beijing to plant, but after recognizing the matter, Lin Yuan forgot about planting potatoes, but Zhao Yun hadn't forgotten it yet, and had already sent someone to send the potatoes back.

"Have you sent it back to plant? I don't know if the seedlings have grown, by the way, will those people in the family plant them? Lin Kite was overjoyed at first, and then a little worried.

Shen Fu interjected: "As long as it's a human being, it will plant, right?" Sister, we also planted at home, planted several acres of land, you have to see, when I go back, I will take you to see. ”

Mrs. Shen pulled her face and said, "Okay, your sister wants to see the potato seedlings in Zhao Gongzi's house, not our own." ”

This is really sour, but can Mrs. Shen not be sour? The daughter who has been missing for so many years has finally been recovered, but she has not been raised at home for long, and she is already about to marry into someone else's family.

It's sad to think about.

Lin Yuan hurriedly diverted the topic: "Brother, you should take your sister-in-law to see it." ”

Shen Fu originally refuted Lin Kite's words, but when he thought that Lin Yuan said just now that he was going to tell Qiu Shumin that he didn't like her, Shen Fu was intimidated.

She ...... She may not marry me. ”

Seeing the sad expression on her son's face, Mrs. Shen and Master Shen both looked at each other and their faces sank, and reprimanded Shen Fu: "You kid, you are majestic on weekdays, how can you meet a girl you like and be cowardly?" You haven't asked her yet, how do you know she doesn't want to marry you? ”

Master Shen: "Since your sister has already called that girl sister-in-law, it seems that that girl must be a good child, since you also like it, it is better to take advantage of the fact that we are all in Huaiyin City this time, and give this marriage to the end." ”

"This ......" Shen Fu never expected that his father and mother had never even seen Qiu Shumin's face, so he directly said about the marriage, but although he was surprised, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, and finally only said, "Fu'er listens to his father." ”

Lin Yuan quit: "How can you listen to your father?" This daughter-in-law is what you want to marry, and you have to go and tell Qiu Min's sister in person, if she agrees, you will ask your father and mother to help you propose. ”

If it is according to modern rules, it should be the man who proposes marriage directly, but this is ancient times, and it still has to go through the procedure of the parents' order to match the words of the concubine, but Lin Yuan still suggested that Shen Fu first explain the marriage proposal to Qiu Shumin, and after winning the opinions of other girls, let his father and mother help to propose.

Shen Fu felt that Lin Yuan was right: "I listen to my sister, then I'll go to her now." ”

"Wait." Lin Yuan grabbed the person, "Brother, what are you anxious about?" Sister Shu Min was frightened two days ago, and now she hasn't come to her senses, you suddenly said that you want to propose, are you trying to scare her? ”

Mrs. Shen nodded: "What Kite said is reasonable, and you can't rush to the door to say these things, when we finish eating, we will go buy some gifts, and then visit in two days." ”

Shen Fu Lin Kite They came out to play this time, they didn't bring anything valuable, Mrs. Shen and Master Shen didn't, they only worried about the safety of this Lin Kite when they went out, they didn't even bring luggage, only brought some silver taels.

Zhao Yun, who was constantly serving vegetables to Lin Kite on the side, did fall into deep thought after listening to Lin Kite's words.

After lunch, Lin Yuan, who didn't sleep much last night, took a nap, Mrs. Shen, Master Shen and Shen Fu went to buy gifts, and Zhao Yun and General Guo visited everywhere to inspect the people's situation.
