Chapter 6 Travel
Shen Xinmei persuaded on the side: "Second brother, the old people all hope to have more grandchildren under Chenghuan's knees, and my mother gave you two girls, just for your own good, people let your daughter-in-law take it back yesterday, and you rushed to send it back today, who are you looking ugly for?" Can't a son of man follow his mother even in this little matter? β
Shen Zhongwen listened impatiently to this, and said with a smile: "Since my sister has added another son to her family, should I, as an uncle, prepare some small gifts and send them to the house?" β
Shen Xinmei hated the concubines and concubines who came out of the family the most, and said angrily when she heard this: "Second brother! What are you talking about? That's not your own nephew! β
turned his head and complained to Liu: "Mother! Look at the second brother! β
Liu also followed: "You are really becoming more and more disproportionate, what is so rare about those concubines?" No matter how many more there are, it won't be your turn to give gifts! β
When Shen Zhongwen heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's not rare for concubines and concubines to be rare, and I'm not rare either!" The two of the Liu family were stunned, they didn't expect him to wait for them here, they were angry in their hearts, and their faces showed something, but Shen Zhongwen looked as usual.
When it was time to eat, if it was usual, the Liu family naturally left Shen Zhongwen to eat, but today he was scolded in person, and he was angry, so he didn't keep him.
Shen Zhongwen came out of Liu's courtyard and immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare a carriage.
When he came back from this trip to Youxi, he had already met with the saint and explained his errand, and the saint remembered that he had worked hard and been away from home for a long time, so he specially gave him three days off.
In his hard-won spare time, he naturally wanted to go out with his wife and daughter.
On the other side, Wen got the news, cleaned up Shen Qingyu, and waited for Shen Zhongwen to come back.
When Wen saw Shen Zhongwen coming back, he hurriedly greeted him and said with concern: "You sent those two back, and my mother didn't say anything, right?" β
"I didn't say anything, she was my mother after all, and she couldn't help but worry about me."
Wen also asked more, and the family of three was ready to go out.
Shen Zhongwen didn't need a maidservant, he helped Wen to get into the carriage first, and turned around to hug Shen Qingyu.
He remembered what happened before, and deliberately teased: "Big girl, can you board the carriage alone today?" β
So naΓ―ve!
Shen Qingyu originally wanted to board the carriage three times and two times to express her thoughts, but after looking at the carriage that was too high for her, she had no choice but to stretch out her hand and wait for Shen Zhongwen to pick her up.
Shen Zhongwen smiled and was about to pick up someone, when a girl's voice interrupted his movements.
"Second uncle!"
Shen Qingyu followed the voice and looked over, it was Ji Yunsheng, why did she come?
Ji Yunshang counted the time, and had been waiting here for a long time with her personal maid, just to follow Shen Zhongwen's family of three out.
Because the turmoil that is about to happen today has indeed had a bad impact on Shen Zhongwen's official career, the original intention to be promoted has been postponed for nearly a month because of this incident.
Later, Shen Zhongwen also wasted a lot of effort to minimize the impact, and successfully waited for the holy decree of the Ministry of Industry to be promoted.
This is also thanks to him, Shen Zhongwen has always been trusted by the emperor, and I am afraid it will not be so easy to settle with another person.
Ji Yunshang made up her mind to stop this incident, not because of her nephew and uncle, but because of another series of incidents caused by this incident, her father almost lost his official position.
Even if her father is no longer successful, the fact that she has to rely on her mother's family will not change, and she must plan for herself.
"Second uncle! Are you and your aunt going out? Can you take me with you? β
Shen Zhongwen has always been good to this niece, and it's nothing to bring her, but he was worried that his daughter would be unhappy, so he went to see Shen Qingyu's expression for the first time.
Although Shen Qingyu didn't have a good impression of this cousin in her heart, she regarded herself as an elder and regarded Ji Yunsheng, who was younger than her, as a child, and felt that it was normal for a little girl to want to go out to play, so she didn't show resistance.
Shen Zhongwen saw that her expression was as usual, and she was not reluctant, so she answered, "Okay, since you want to go out, it's okay to follow your uncle." β
The group of four set off in unison, and the carriage slowly moved forward, turning from the place where they lived to the street.
Shen Qingyu was old and frail in his last life, and he counted the number of times he went out on one hand, and this time he finally had the opportunity to take a closer look at this ancient street, not to mention how excited he was.
The sound of hawking on the street was endless, she took advantage of Shen Zhongwen and his wife to speak, opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out, there were many stalls on the side of the road, although there were many vendors, but they were not messy.
She watched it with relish, and heard Shen Zhongwen ask, "How is it?" Where do you want to go? β
On the side, Ji Yunshang thought in her heart, she didn't say in detail where the incident happened in the previous life, or she didn't remember it, she only knew that it was today, but if she rashly said that she didn't let Shen Zhongwen's family not walk around, it was obviously unrealistic, Gu Ji Yunshang behaved very well-behaved, "It's good that the second uncle decides." β
Shen Qingyu wanted to go anywhere, but he couldn't say the specific place for a while, so he had to follow: "It's okay, my father decides." β
Shen Zhongwen saw that the two small ones had no opinion, and turned his head to Wen's and said, "I heard that Wangshu Pavilion expanded its scale some time ago, if you are interested, let's go there first?" β
Shen Qingyu from the perspective of a bystander, the couple is really affectionate, she has become Shen Qingyu these days, the biggest impression of Wen is that she loves to read very much, whenever she has leisure will definitely hold this book in her hand, Shen Zhongwen's proposal just happened to meet Wen's wishes.
Sure enough, Wen smiled and said yes.
The carriage stopped in front of a small three-story building, which was lined with buildings one floor lower on the left and right, which made it stand out, and the plaques did not look like ordinary shops hanging directly above them, but were piled up vertically in front of the door.
As soon as Shen Qingyu and his party walked in, they smelled the fragrance of flowers, and looked around to remove the orderly bookshelves, but they couldn't see a pot of flowers.
Rows of bookshelves are hung from low to high, with wooden plaques listing the names of the books one by one, making it easy for people to find them.
On the wall of the lobby is a couplet, with the words "Ten Thousand Volumes Ancient and Modern" written on the left and "Infinite Knowledge" written on the right.
Shen Qingyu thought it was very interesting, and she didn't want to be a light bulb in front of Shen Zhongwen and his wife, so she walked around behind a bookshelf with Ruyi.
Shen Zhongwen instructed in the back: "Just walk around this floor, don't run far, you know?" β
"Don't worry!" Shen Qingyu agreed.
Although she is short, she can only see what name tags are hung on the lower bookshelves, but these are also very attractive to her who is used to living a boring life, she is very patient to read the title of a book, and when she encounters a book of interest, she will take it out and open it.
Ruyi had no interest in these books, and followed behind Shen Qingyu step by step, puzzled: "Why is the girl like a lady now, and she starts to like to read?" β
"Just take a look!"
