The most time-saving way to go from Texas to Laizhou is to take a boat and take the waterway, but unfortunately, Mrs. Shen is seasick and vomits every time she takes a boat. Since the waterway is not good, you can only take a sedan car and take a long detour.

The old lady had been thinking about visiting her eldest son Shen Zhiyun in her heart, and as soon as she received the letter, she asked the people in the house to make arrangements as soon as possible and set off as soon as possible. And Shen Yuechen's mood was completely opposite to her, as soon as she heard that she was going to set off, she suddenly felt that her head hurt even more, but the old lady's meaning, she couldn't be violated, she had to repeat her voice.

On the day of departure, the sky was clear and the sun was shining.

Shen Yuechen sat in the carriage, holding her hands in front of her, gently fiddling with the warm string of Buddha beads on her wrist with her fingertips, and her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

Seeing that she was silent all the way, the old lady looked preoccupied, and said softly: "The beads that the old lady of the Zhu family rewarded you with are indeed an excellent thing. You have it with you, don't lose it. ”

Shen Yuechen slowly raised her head and answered yes.

After saying a few words, the old lady slowly brought the topic to this trip to Laizhou, gently comforted her not to be nervous, and behaved well in front of Shen Zhiyun, in the end, it was a father and daughter, and blood was thicker than water.

Shen Yuechen knew that his current face could not be hidden, and he was silent for a long time before nodding: "I remember what my grandmother said." ”

After about half an hour of driving, the sun was getting hotter, but fortunately, there were tea and snacks prepared in advance.

The carriage traveled along the official road in the direction of Laizhou, and did not stop at the door of a post house until sunset.

After sitting in the carriage for a whole day, Shen Yuechen only felt a sore back and back, but then she saw that the old lady Shen was safe and sound, her legs were not sore, and her feet were not numb. The old lady is a person who is used to riding in a carriage, and Shen Yuechen used to be on the mountain, mostly on foot, and his foot strength was better.

Because it is an official post that does not accept idlers, there are clean rooms and ready-made hot water in the post house, and there is a kitchen to prepare meals, but Shen Yuechen and the old lady used some snacks on the road, which will not feel hungry, but they are thirsty, so they go to the lobby together to sit down and drink tea, and Mama Li leads the maids to the guest room first to pack their luggage and make the bed.

After a while, Mama Li stepped forward slowly, came over and replied, "Old lady, the luggage has been packed, and you can rest at any time." ”

When the old lady heard this, she asked Shen Yuechen to go back to the room to rest, worried that she would be tired.

Shen Yuechen knew her body in her heart, and she couldn't be tired of walking, let alone taking a car, but she really wanted to go back and rest first, so she got up and said goodbye.

The old lady asked her to sleep steadily, and she would send someone to bring her directly for dinner, so she didn't have to come down and toss anymore.

This season is the off-season, and there are not many people and guests in the inn, only two or three errand men who have passed by.

After going upstairs, Mother Wu looked at Shen Yuechen with some concern, and said softly: "Miss, this is the first time to go out, the carriage is so bumpy, can you still stand it?" ”

Shen Yuechen smiled and shook her head, "How tiring it can be to ride in the car, don't worry about it, Mom." ”

Shen Yuechen took advantage of the fact that before dinner, he could lie down a little and take a nap.

Wu's mother and Chun Ming didn't have such a good life, and the two of them had to make up for a little bit of food, and they had to be busy packing up their things and sorting out their clothes. The sweat-stained clothes could no longer be worn on the master's body, so they each took their clothes to the backyard to wash them.

For a time, the backyard of the post house was full of flowers and green clothes. It will be the height of summer, and the washed clothes can be dried overnight without delay.

When Shen Yuechen woke up, it was already dark. The kitchen of the inn has already prepared dinner, because it is in the middle of nowhere, there is no village in front of it, there is no shop in front of the village, there is only a clear stream, there is not much to eat, and the dinner menu is very simple, only a steamed fish and a few vegetarian dishes.

The steamed fish on the table is made from fish that has just been caught in the morning, and the taste is light but delicious. And the old lady has always been meatless and unhappy, heavy meat and fishy, waiting to see this light and light dish, can't help but have a good appetite, only a few bites and then turned back to the guest room to rest.

Shen Yuechen didn't have much appetite because she had just woken up, but fortunately, Wu's mother had already prepared a bowl of iced sour plum soup to appetize her.

Shen Yuechen was slightly surprised: "Where did this sour plum soup come from?" ”

There are no plums or ice cubes here, so if you want to make sour plum soup, how easy is it?

Mother Wu smiled and said: "Miss occasionally has a problem with bitter summer, and the old man has already prepared to bring a bottle of pickled plums over, and took the cold well water from the well and put a bowl. ”

Shen Yuechen approvingly: "It's still my mother's ingenuity, which can always turn decay into magic." ”

Shen Yuechen drank the sour plum soup, only to feel refreshed, and intended to ask Wu's mother to send a bowl to the old lady.

When Wu's mother heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "It's better for the young lady to send it to the old lady in person, just to talk to her old man." ”

It is rare for their grandparents and grandchildren to walk together, so they naturally have to take this opportunity to get close.

Shen Yuechen hesitated for a moment, and finally came over with the sour plum soup by herself.

At this time, the old lady was talking softly with Mama Li, and when she saw Shen Yuechen coming in with a tray, the two immediately stopped talking, and the old lady looked at her and said with a smile: "Why are you here?" ”

Shen Yuechen handed the sour plum soup to the old lady, and said with a meek face: "The granddaughter saw that her grandmother didn't eat much for dinner and had no appetite, so she wanted to send a bowl of sour plum soup to you to appetize." ”

When the old lady heard this, the smile on her face deepened, and she only let her do it herself, tasted the sour plum soup with her hand, nodded approvingly: "It's really refreshing." ”

The old lady is old, and her teeth are not as good as before, and if she usually eats a little sour, she will be sour to the point of losing her teeth.

However, Wu's mother added rock sugar to the sour plum soup, which was sweet and sour, and the taste was neutral.

A bowl of sour plum soup made the old lady very comfortable, and she smiled softly and said, "The first time you go out of the house, are you still used to living?" I've heard that you have a problem with recognizing your bed, and it's not easy to fall asleep when you change places. ”

Shen Yuechen smiled and shook his head: "Grandmother doesn't have to worry, I slept well, and the guest rooms here are very clean." ”

Old Lady Shen nodded: "This is a post house, which is naturally stronger than those inns, and will not let those people of all religions and nine streams enter and exit." Speaking of which, you and your father are really similar, he is also a child also has a problem with the bed, when he used to go out to study, he also changed places and couldn't sleep, so he had to lose his temper and move the wooden bed at home. ”

Shen Yuechen heard her suddenly mention Shen Zhiyun, and she was slightly shaken, only to hear the old lady continue: "I know that you kid has a serious heart, and I'm worried that I won't get used to it when I get there." Actually, it doesn't matter, it's all a family, don't think too much, what's more, there is my grandmother who protects you, and I will never let them treat you badly......"

What the old lady said was very considerate.

When Shen Yuechen heard this, her heart moved, and then she was surprised and delighted: "Grandmother really loves me, in fact, I just ...... I'm worried that Daddy will not like me......"

There are some things that don't need to be clarified, and everyone knows them. A father who almost drowned himself in the first place, no one would feel worried and afraid.

The old lady was also able to understand her a little, took the initiative to reach over and hold her hand, thought for a moment and then said: "The past is the past after all." Now, our family is together with Harmony, and after a long time, there will always be love. ”

The human heart is long, and who can be ruthless.

Shen Yuechen didn't want to be an innocent and carefree prefect's daughter, but unfortunately, the current situation did not allow it, she did this, she thought so.

Now, the old lady is ostensibly oriented towards herself, but openly and secretly it is still for Shen Zhiyun.

Shen Yuechen lowered her head and gently snuggled into the old lady's arms, "With grandmother by her side to tell and teach, Yuechen will definitely do a good job, try to please her father, and not let your grandmother down." ”

The old lady was already accustomed to being so close to her, and patted her on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Good boy, don't worry, your good fortune is waiting for you later." ”

Once the marriage between the Zhu and Shen families is successful, Shen Zhiyun's official path will naturally go more and more smoothly, and how many good things will be waiting for them.

Early the next morning, Shen Yuechen and Mrs. Shen set off from the post house, and the carriage walked for another day and night, stopping halfway to rest, and finally arrived at the gate of Laizhou City.

Shen Zhiyun personally led people to greet his mother at the south city gate, and he had been standing on the city tower, and when he saw a carriage with a green roof coming, he would send someone down to check.

For some reason, Shen Zhiyun's mood was slightly excited, and he didn't know if it was because of his mother or because of Shen Yuechen. When he thinks of the past, he has many scruples in his heart, and he always feels that the world is impermanent, and he changes when he says it, as if God is joking with him. He originally thought that his fate with the child was over, but he didn't expect that there would be a time when the peaks and loops would turn around.
