Chapter Thirty-Five: Taking Shen to the City Today
The next morning, Zhongzhonglou was preparing to return to the village.
Shen Jinchao chased him out, his eyes were red like a rabbit: "Dad, don't leave, don't go back... If you leave, we will definitely starve to death."
As Shen Jinzhao spoke, tears were about to fall down.
The stepmother didn't cook for them yesterday. She couldn't cook and had to go hungry. She didn't want to go hungry or become a starving ghost.
Seeing Shen Jinchao crying, Zhongzhonglou felt heartbroken. Shen Jinchao was the only daughter among the four children, and Zhongzhonglou had always treated her better than the other three young men. Now seeing his daughter in such a wronged and pitiful look, Zhongzhonglou felt his own My heart was about to be crushed, and I hated Nan Jiangnan even more.
"Be good today and stop crying, okay?"
"Dad, are you going to buy candied haws on a stick?" Zhong Zhonglou hurriedly coaxed the child, wiping his tears and buying candied haws. When Shen Suisui saw some to eat, he also ran over and cried together. Zhong Zhonglou had no choice but to stay in the city temporarily. Here, take care of the daily life of several children first.
After Xia Shengsheng woke up the next morning, she started waiting at the entrance of the village early in the morning.
She specially wore a new dress, with a light pink tone, which made her look gentle and lovely. Her long hair was carefully braided, and she even took out the rouge she kept at the bottom of her trunk. However, Xia Shengsheng waited. For a long time, she watched the golden crow begin to fall to the west, but she couldn't wait for the person she wanted to wait for.
Could it be that Uncle Shen is not coming back?
Xia Shengsheng thought so, feeling frightened and inexplicable fear in her heart.
She was afraid that she would never see Uncle Shen again.
However, Shen is still in the village today, should Uncle Shen be back?
Xia Shengsheng thought so.
On the other side of Nanjiangnan.
Seeing that Zhonglou really planned to stay in the city, Nan Jiangnan didn't care.
She first went to the villa's own courtyard to look around, and found that the courtyard was very large and could fully accommodate the rabbits she wanted to raise. Today is ancient times, transportation is not developed, and preservation technology is not very good. She must ensure that the rabbits arrive when they arrive. It's still good, but you can only make all the quantities within one day, the day before departure.
Although the villa had a kitchen, it didn't have many stoves. She had to find time to have someone come and turn on two more stoves.
After calculating the money in his hand, Nan Jiangnan planned to go to Xu Academy first and pick up the rabbit there.
Seeing that Nan Jiangnan had called a bullock cart and prepared a lot of iron cages, Zhongzhonglou asked: "Do you want to go back to the village? We can be together. I'm not worried about being in the village today."
Nan Jiangnan looked at him. Although Zhongzhonglou was not a nice person, he really cared about his children.
"Can."
The two of them set off together and returned to Shen's house first.
As soon as their bullock cart entered the village, the nearby villagers couldn't help but stretched their heads and looked over.
"Have you heard that several children of the Shen family have already arranged to study in the city?"
"Really or not, it costs ten taels of silver a year to study in the city, and you have to rent a small courtyard in the city for easy living. Is the Shen family so rich?"
"I heard that the Nan family negotiated some kind of business with a wealthy family from the capital."
"I really didn't realize that the Nan family actually has such ability?"
"That's right, I used to think that Nan was submissive, but now I see that she is nimble with her hands and feet, and she works neatly, a bit better than Xia Shengsheng. It's a pity that she married such an old man at such a young age, and she still carries With four children, Zhongzhonglou is really lucky to be able to marry Nan Jiangnan!"
"Who says it's not?"
As soon as the ox cart entered the village, Xia Shengsheng was already dressed and walked out from Xia's house to greet him.
Seeing Xia Shengsheng in a pink dress, she was so delicate and bright. Zhongzhonglou's heart couldn't help but move. Beside him, Nan Jiangnan caught a glimpse of Xia Shengsheng's "dress up" and taunted: "Miss Xia is so dressed up. What are you going to do?"
"No, just, walking around..."
Zhongchenlou already has a wife, and Xia Shengsheng is a little girl waiting to be married.
Even if there is ambiguity, Xia Shengsheng knows how to avoid suspicion, so naturally he will not admit that he came out specially to greet Zhonglou.
"Wandering around? Sorry, it seems I misunderstood." Nan Jiangnan looked at her with a smile. Compared with some green tea she had seen in her previous life, Xia Shengsheng's rank was really not that good, "Look at Xia Shengsheng." The girl is dressed so beautifully, I thought you were going on a blind date."
"I remember, Miss Xia is not young anymore, right?"
Xia Shengsheng is now sixteen.
She may still be a child in modern times, but in ancient times, she was already considered an old girl at her age.
However, she kept delaying, saying that her father was away doing business and had not returned, and her mother needed her to take care of her, so she was not ready to get married for the time being.
Xia Shengsheng lowered his head and gritted his teeth.
The only lover in her heart is Chongzhonglou. In her opinion, the other men in this village are not worthy of her at all. But now, Chongchenlou has been taken away by others, and Nan Jiangnan wants to make such sarcastic remarks here. she.
"My parents have the final say on Shengsheng's marriage, so I don't need to worry about it."
"Brother Shen is back to take care of Jin Tian, right?" Xia Shengsheng changed the topic to Zhong Zhonglou. Hearing this, Zhong Zhonglou nodded and said, "I'm here to take Shen to the city today."
"What?" Xia Shengsheng looked over in shock.
blurted out subconsciously.
Nan Jiangnan can be regarded as an opportunist. He cleverly caught Xia Shengsheng's unnatural expression at this moment and asked with a smile: "Why, Miss Xia doesn't think it's okay?"
"It's not...I..." Xia Sheng gritted his teeth, his eyes fell on the closed hut of the Shen family, and said with a smile, "I mean, can you adapt to going to the city today? He hasn't been in good condition lately. Okay, I'm afraid he won't be able to adapt to the city, I just care about the child."
"hehe."
Nan Jiangnan smiled and said nothing.
Zhongzhonglou walked into the house and saw Shen Jinjin sitting in the yard in a daze. He walked forward, lowered his voice and said, "Today."
"father?"
"Today, would you like to go to the city with dad? Dad has found a new academy in the city every year. Can you go to school with him?" Although Zhonglou's voice was soft, when he heard the word 'academy' , the word 'go to school', Shen today seemed to have been stepped on by a small animal with reverse scales.
"No, I, I don't want to go to school!"
Shen Jin gritted his teeth and covered his head, his thin body trembling.
Although Zhang Xiaofan did not die, for some reason, ever since he was caught cheating, his dreams were filled with the scene when Zhang Xiaofan fell off the cliff, and the scene when he was caught. Shen Niannian had his tail cut off, betrayed him, and everything The situation was all blamed on him.
Everything seemed like a huge whirlpool, trying to swallow him up.
Shen Jinjin was frantically trying to escape, and his frenzied look was as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.
