Chapter VI Travel
Shen Xinmei persuaded from the side: "Second brother, the elderly hope to have more grandchildren for Cheng Huan. Mother gave you two girls just for your own good. I asked your wife to take them back yesterday. You are here today." Just send it back in a hurry, who are you making an embarrassment to? As a son, can't you obey your mother even in this little thing?"
Shen Zhongwen was impatient to hear this and said with a smile: "Since my sister has a new son in her family, as my uncle, shouldn't I prepare some small gifts to send to my house?"
Shen Xinmei hated those concubines and concubines who appeared in the family the most. When she heard this, she said angrily: "Second brother! What are you talking about? That's not your nephew!"
She turned around and complained to Mrs. Liu: "Mother! Look at my second brother!"
Mrs. Liu also followed: "You are becoming more and more unruly. What's so special about those concubines and concubines? No matter how many more there are, it won't be your turn to give gifts!"
When Shen Zhongwen heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Concubines and concubines are not rare, and I am not rare either!" The Liu family were stunned. They didn't expect that he was waiting for them here. They were angry in their hearts and had a look on their faces. Some were brought out, but Shen Zhongwen looked as usual.
When it was time to eat, Mrs. Liu would have left Shen Zhongwen to eat as usual, but today she was scolded in person and felt angry, so she did not leave him alone.
Shen Zhongwen came out of Liu's yard and immediately ordered his servants to prepare a carriage.
When he came back from his trip to Yousi this time, he had already met with the Holy One and explained his errands. The Holy One thought that he had worked hard and had been away from home for a long time, so he specially gave him three days' leave.
After finally having some free time, he naturally wanted to take his wife and daughter out with him.
On the other side, Mrs. Wen got the news, packed up everything for Shen Qingyu, and waited for Shen Zhongwen to come back.
When Mrs. Wen saw Shen Zhongwen coming back, she rushed to greet them and said with concern: "You sent those two people back. Mother didn't say anything, right?"
"I didn't say anything. She is my mother after all and she can't help but worry about me."
Mrs. Wen also asked more questions, and the family of three was ready to go out.
Shen Zhongwen did not use the maid, he first helped Wen get into the carriage, then turned around to hug Shen Qingyu.
He remembered what happened before and jokingly said: "You're a big girl, can you get on the carriage alone today?"
So childish!
Shen Qingyu originally wanted to get on the carriage to express her thoughts, but after looking at the carriage which was too high for her, she had no choice but to reach out and wait for Shen Zhongwen to pick her up.
Shen Zhongwen smiled and was about to pick someone up, when a girl's voice interrupted his movements.
"Second uncle!"
Shen Qingyu followed the voice and looked over. It was Ji Yunshang. Why is she here?
Ji Yunshang counted the time and had been waiting here for a long time with his personal maid, just to follow Shen Zhongwen's family of three out.
Because the turmoil that is about to happen today will indeed have a bad impact on Shen Zhongwen's official career, the original promotion plan was postponed for nearly a month because of this incident.
Later, Shen Zhongwen also spent a lot of effort to minimize the impact, and successfully waited until he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
This is also thanks to the fact that Shen Zhongwen has always been trusted by the emperor. It might not be so easy to deal with another person.
Ji Yunshang made up her mind to stop this incident from happening, not because her nephew and uncle were connected, but because this incident triggered another series of events, which almost caused her father to lose his official position.
Even if her father fails, the fact that she must rely on her parents' family will not change. She must plan for herself.
"Second uncle! Are you and aunt going out? Can you take me with you?"
Shen Zhongwen had always been kind to this niece, so it was okay to take her with him. He was just worried that his daughter would be unhappy, so he immediately looked at Shen Qingyu's expression.
Although Shen Qingyu didn't have a good impression of this cousin in her heart, she regarded herself as an elder and Ji Yunshang, who was younger than her, as a child. She felt that it was normal for the little girl to want to go out to play, so she did not show any resistance.
mood.
Shen Zhongwen saw that her expression was as normal and she was not forcing herself, so he answered, "Okay, since you want to go out, you might as well go with your uncle."
A group of four people set off together, and the carriage moved forward slowly, turning from the place where they lived to the street.
In her last life, Shen Qingyu was old and frail, and could count the number of times she went out on one hand. This time she finally had the opportunity to take a closer look at this ancient street, not to mention how excited she was.
The sound of hawking could be heard constantly on the street. While Shen Zhongwen and his wife were talking, she opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out. There were many stalls along the road. Although there were many vendors, it was not cluttered.
She watched with great interest, and Shen Zhongwen asked: "How is it? Where do you want to go?"
On the side, Ji Yunshang was thinking about it. She didn't say in detail where the incident happened in the last life, or she didn't remember it. She only knew that it was today. But if she rashly said that Shen Zhongwen's family should not be allowed to wander around,
This is obviously unrealistic. Gu Ji Yunshang behaved very well, "Second uncle can decide."
Shen Qingyu wanted to go anywhere, but couldn't name the specific place for a while, so she had to follow suit: "It's okay, father decides."
Seeing that the two younger ones had no objections, Shen Zhongwen turned to Mrs. Wen and said, "I heard that Wangshu Pavilion has expanded its scale some time ago. If you are interested, let's go there first and have a look?"
From the perspective of a bystander, Shen Qingyu saw that the couple really had a deep relationship. In the past few days since she became Shen Qingyu, the biggest impression she had on Mrs. Wen was that she loved reading and would definitely hold a book in her hands whenever she had free time. Shen Zhongwen suggested this.
It happened to be what Wen wanted.
Sure enough, Mrs. Wen smiled and said hello.
The carriage stopped in front of a three-story building. There were buildings one floor lower on both sides of the building, which made it stand out. The plaques were not hung directly above the ordinary store, but were piled upright in front of the door.
.
As soon as Shen Qingyu and the others walked in, they smelled the fragrance of flowers. They looked around at the orderly bookshelves, but they couldn't see a pot of flowers.
Rows of bookshelves are arranged from low to high, with wooden signs hanging on them listing the names of the books one by one for people to find easily.
There is a couplet on the wall of the lobby, with "Ten Thousand Volumes of Ancient and Modern" written on the left and "Infinite Knowledge" written on the right.
Shen Qingyu thought it was quite interesting, and she didn't want to be a lightbulb in front of Shen Zhongwen and his wife, so she took Ruyi around behind a bookshelf.
Shen Zhongwen asked from behind: "Just take a stroll on this floor, but don't go too far, you know?"
"Don't worry!" Shen Qingyu agreed.
Although she was short, she could only clearly see the name tags hanging on the lower bookshelf, but these were also very attractive to her who was used to a boring life. She patiently read through the titles of the books, and when she encountered them she was interested.
book, take it out and read it.
Ruyi was not interested in these books, and followed Shen Qingyu step by step, wondering: "Why is the girl now like Madam, starting to like reading?"
"Just take a look!"
