Shen Xiangmiao has been busy for another day, and her spirit is naturally a little poor at this time, and her walking is naturally much slower.

Shen Guangyao is older than Shen Xiangmiao and a man, so his steps are naturally slightly faster than Shen Xiangmiao, but Shen Guangyao took two steps and felt that Shen Xiangmiao couldn't keep up, so he deliberately stopped, and used the lantern in his hand to illuminate the road under his feet clearly, so that it was convenient for Shen Xiangmiao to walk.

Shen Xiangmiao quickly noticed this detail, so she also had respect for Shen Guangyao, who took great care of her.

Along the way, the two of them didn't say a word to each other, just walked silently one after the other.

Shen Xiangmiao followed Shen Guangyao all the way to the main hall of Shen Yuantang's house.

The white-haired Shen Yuantang was sitting at the round table at this time, holding a book in his hand and seeing it, he saw Shen Guangyao leading Shen Xiangmiao in, sandwiching the bamboo stick in the page he was reading, and closing the book.

"Kanae is here." Shen Yuantang greeted with a smile and pointed to the seat next to him: "Sit down." ”

"The elder gave it, I didn't dare to resign, so I sat down with a cheeky face." The difference between Shen Xiangmiao and Shen Yuantang is too big, and it is quite unruly to sit at the same table, but since Shen Yuantang asked her to sit, she felt that it was okay and sat down.

Although he sit, he only sat on half a stool, and his body leaned forward slightly, and he sat very well.

Shen Yuantang couldn't help but brush his long white beard, and the corners of his mouth were even more smiling.

But all the people who come to his house either only dare to stand and talk with their heads bowed on the side, and dare not sit down, or after sitting down, they feel that they are unbeatable, and they have completely forgotten the rules.

Especially Shen Xiangmiao is still a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl's family, which is more and more precious.

"Guangyao, go pour a cup of tea for Xiangmiao." Shen Yuantang commanded.

"Hey." Shen Guangyao answered, raised his feet and left.

Shen Xiangmiao opened her mouth to stop at this time: "The patriarch doesn't have to be polite, and Uncle Guangyao doesn't have to be Zhang Luo, I have already drunk water at home, and I am not thirsty at this time." ”

Shen Xiangmiao said the truth, she is indeed not thirsty at this time, Zhang Chunshan made tofu and cabbage soup at dinner when the moon is full, the taste is light, very suitable for Shen Xiangmiao's appetite, and she drank two big bowls.

Second, Shen Guangyao is an uncle after all, and Shen Xiangmiao doesn't want to bother her to serve tea for herself.

It's just that Shen Xiangmiao's words were no different from ordinary people's polite words in the eyes of Shen Yuantang and Shen Guangyao, Shen Guangyao naturally didn't take it to heart, and didn't even hesitate to take his steps, and walked out of the main hall directly to the stove room on the side to pour hot water.

Shen Yuantang also smiled: "Since you are here, Xiangmiao will treat this place as if she is her own family, and you don't have to be polite." ”

For this result, Shen Xiangmiao could only laugh dryly twice to alleviate the embarrassment at this time.

"Patriarch, I don't know why you called me here today?" Shen Xiangmiao's question was straight to the point, and when she spoke, she squinted her eyes to look at Shen Yuantang.

Shen Yuantang drooped his eyelids at this time, and instead of looking at Shen Xiangmiao, he reached out and put down the sleeves that he had just rolled up, and said slowly: "There is nothing to do, but I saw that Shen Fuhai was busy building a mansion in the past two days, so I asked a few words, and learned that Shen Fuhai was entrusted by you to build a big mansion, so I thought about looking for you to talk about it, I also know the situation of your family, I didn't have a father in the early years, and I followed my widowed mother a few years ago, and the life with my younger brother was also very hard. Seeing that this year has suddenly been much better, but building a house is also a big matter, I will call you to ask and see if there is any place that needs help. ”

Shen Xiangmiao hooked her lips and smiled.

Shen Yuantang was asking if he needed help on the surface, but his true thoughts were clearly expressed in Fang Cai's words, he wanted to ask Shen Xiangmiao where the money in the mansion came from.

Just like what Shen Yuantang just said, Shen Xiangmiao lost her father when she was young, and her widowed mother and younger brother used to be very poor, but now life is getting better and better, and she suddenly has to build such a big house, which is really amazing to ordinary people.

If this silver comes from a decent person, it is fine, if it is an unknown Yin Liang or does something hurtful, it will bring endless trouble to the Shen family and Hexi Village.

Therefore, Shen Yuantang must figure out the reason for this, and he can rest assured.

I have to say that Shen Yuantang, as the patriarch, has done his best for the stability of the Shen family and Hexi Village.

Shen Xiangmiao could understand Shen Yuantang's worries, and the money she earned was all the hard-earned money earned by her own hands, so she told Shen Yuantang frankly: "Patriarch, don't hide it, I have been doing some food business in the town these days, which is a blessing from God, and the business has been good, plus the shopkeeper of the Yuemanlou of the restaurant has always taken good care of me, and often helps me sell lo-mei food, and I have saved a lot of silver taels on weekdays." ”

"A few days ago, a rich young master came from the state capital, it is said that he is the second son of the Lu family on the rich side of the family, and he is generous, and almost all the people upstairs have been rewarded by him, and he even opened his mouth and gave me twenty taels of silver to buy a few dishes for a dish, and this matter is known to everyone upstairs when the moon is full......"

"Therefore, I have a lot of silver taels in my hand, and even have spare money to open an additional pastry shop with others, plus the recipe for buying a few dishes from my hand in the past few days, and there is an entry, and the money in this hand has also increased."

"So I thought about building a new house, in addition to my mother, brother and I lived alone, to build an additional study, and to build two more rooms for my grandparents to live in the future, or when relatives came, I thought that the courtyard would be built a little bigger."

Shen Xiangmiao talked about the origin of this silver coin and the reason for building the house by herself, and at the end of the day, she was afraid that Shen Yuantang would feel embarrassed, so she still returned to what Shen Yuantang said: "Although it is the first time to build a house, and it is a major event in the family, but now that I have invited my third uncle to preside over the overall situation, I should still be able to deal with it. ”

Shen Yuantang listened to Shen Xiangmiao's words, and his slightly drooping eyelids rose.

What Shen Xiangmiao said is reasonable, and every time there is a large amount of money, it can be very clear who the party is, so that after a little investigation, you can know the true and false words, presumably Shen Xiangmiao does not dare to tell lies.

According to what I see today and what happened in the past, Shen Xiangmiao's various performances, as well as the villagers' various evaluations of Shen Xiangmiao on weekdays, Shen Xiangmiao is indeed a person with good conduct and outstanding ability.
