Chang’an’s First Beauty - Chapter 138
“What if I don’t worry?”
“From October 18 last year to the present, a total of 310 days, Shen Jiao, I am here with you. I can’t be a gentleman.”
“I’ll ask again, will you marry?”
“Ms. Shen, just wait.”
Since that day, Shen Hao’s heart has been uneasy. The man’s low and hoarse words hovered in her ears for three days, but after three days passed, there was no movement.
As the summer heat dissipated and the autumn wind gradually cooled, Shen Jia knocked on the door of the study and whispered, “Aye.”
Shen Wenqi said: “Come in.”
“This is the mutton soup that my mommy Fang is stewing.” Aunt Shen put the soup on the table and looked at Shen Wenqi’s arm and said, “Now it’s autumn, does Aye’s arm start to hurt?”
Shen Wenqi said slowly: “Doctor Bai gave me the medicine and I use it every day, so it’s not a problem.”
“That’s good.” Shen Hao glanced at the wolf in Shen Wenqi’s hand, and said if nothing had happened, “have things been going well with the Ministry of Engineering these days?”
Shen Wenqi wrote down, “It’s autumn now, and the Ministry of Engineering is not so busy anymore, my sister, why do you suddenly remember to ask this?”
Shen Jia gave a light cough and smiled: “My son just cares about Lord Shen.”
Shen Wenqi smiled, and there was a flow of heat in his heart, and he could not help but mute: It’s better to be a daughter.
Shen Jia returned to the house and sighed after washing.
Qingli asked her: “The girl has something on her mind recently? Why do you always sigh these past few days?”
“Have it?”
“The slave maid has heard it many times.” After saying that, Qingli sighed as she did like Shen Lao.
Shen Jia chuckles, “It’s okay. Before, I was thinking too much.”
However, on the three days, Shen Hao understood what the man said to her—he was just on a whim that day, or maybe he was a little unwilling.
Since Shen Zhen was pregnant, she has acted as a “hands-off shopkeeper”. The shops in her hands, the land deeds, and many of the properties of the Shen family have all been taken care of by Shen Hao, but Shen Hao doesn’t know how to use it. Can only find two more messengers.
The next day, the sun hung high, and the sun shone on the pond along the green leaves, sparkling, and looking from a distance, it looked like a handful of broken gold was sprinkled on it.
Shen Hao raised his hand to support the hairpin on his head, and then turned around and asked Qingxi, “Is the carriage ready?”
Qingli nodded and said: “It’s already outside.”
“Let’s go.”
Qingli helped Shen Lao onto the carriage, and the carriage moved slowly in the direction of Xishi. After half an hour, it stopped in front of the Baixiang Pavilion.
The two wives whom Shen Hao asked for were already waiting in front of the door.
The fatter woman was surnamed Zhang, who came from Shu, and she was very enthusiastic in speaking and fluent in Mandarin.
The taller woman was surnamed Wang. Although she spoke a little less, her skin was excellent. Baixiangge was a powder shop in the end, and the shopkeeper’s face was half of the facade. Shen Jia couldn’t help but look at Old Lady Li. .
After a while, Shen Lao opened a veil, pointed to the material in the veil and said to Granny Zhang: “Do you know what this is?”
Old lady Zhang blushed and bit her scalp and said: “This…presumably it’s all used for making powder. Although I don’t know what this is, I know it is a good thing by smelling the fragrance.”
Shen Jiao said to the Wang Pozi again: “Do you know?”
Wang Pozi paused and said, “This is the navel incense.”
Shen Hao said again: “What about these two?”
Wang Pozi said again: “This is Dangmenzi and Cinnamon.”
At this time, who should be chosen, then there is no need to say any more. Lady Zhang walked out blushingly, and Shen Hao said again: “Can you keep account?”
Granny Wang said: “Yes.” After all, Granny Wang took out the previous account book and handed it to Shen Jia. “This is the account book I used to keep at home.”
After reading it, Aunt Shen nodded, “Very well. From now on, I will hand over this shop to you. I will check the account books at the end of each month. You prepare it in advance and give it to me.”
The old lady bowed and said, “The old slave understands.”
Shen Jia got up, ready to go to the East City again. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, Qingli hurried over and said: “Girl, it’s not OK.”
“What’s the matter?”
“Outside a few Hu businessmen fought with a few grass bandits who had just entered Beijing. Our carriage was parked next to these people and was accidentally smashed.”
Shen Hao anxiously said, “What did it become?”
Qingli said: “It must be impossible to sit down, the wheels are all broken.”
Shen Jia walked to the door, “Where are they?”
Qingli said: “It broke up in a rush, and all ran away.”
Chang’an’s east and west markets are mixed with dragons and fish. Everyone has them. Fighting, smashing and looting are common. Otherwise, the gate of the Jingzhao Mansion will not run to the east and west markets all day.
Shen Hao walked over and frowned when she looked at the miserable look of her carriage.
Thirty spokes connecting the rim and the hub were scattered on the ground, and the stones standing on both sides were also cracked.
“Girl wait a minute, and the slave and maid will find another one.”
“Where are you looking for now?”
Seeing this scene, Shen Hao said to her heart: It’s better to ask her brother-in-law to help. After all, Jingzhao Mansion is located in Guangdefang, and this Guangdefang is near the West Market.
As I was thinking, someone suddenly came over in a hurry and bowed and said, “Miss Shen.”
Shen Hao looked back, startled.
This person is Chu Yi, Zhou Shuan’s personal guard. Shen Jia has seen him countless times in Dali Temple Prison. It can be considered as a half acquaintance.
Ao Shen glanced at him suspiciously, and said, “When did Servant Chu look for me?”
Chu Yi smiled and said, “Master Zhou just went to Jingzhao Mansion and passed through the West Market. He just ran into the grass bandits and learned that it was the girl who had suffered a disaster, so she deliberately found a carriage for the girl Shen.”
Looking in the direction of Chu Yi’s finger–
Sure enough, there was a carriage parked not far away. Under the canopy, there was a yellow rosewood wooden sign with a big character-Zhou engraved on it.
Shen Jia squeezed her fingertips, and joined Chu: “Thank you, your sir, for me, but this carriage is no longer needed. I am going to visit the office.”
As soon as the voice fell, Chu Yi was completely stunned, and after a long while, he suppressed the horror in his heart.
His master is definitely a god, and he even guessed this sentence.
Chu Yi quickly said, “My lord also asked me to bring you a word.”
Shen Lao said softly: “What are you talking about?”
Chu Yi whispered to one side.
Word by word, although it was from someone else, Shen Jia seemed to hear the round voice, “I promised to take care of you in the future. This sentence will always be counted. You don’t have to be polite, it’s more polite.” , It will be divided.”
Shen Jia smiled with his eyes.
But in my heart, there was a stormy sea.
She remembered the situation on October 18 last year.
Outside the bookstore, the rainstorm was like a note, and the cold autumn wind came in through the gap between the windows. He straightened her hair and put on clothes for her, saying every word: “Shen Jiao, come to me.” From now on, I will take care of you.”
Thinking of that day, Shen Hao’s heart couldn’t help but emptiness, she turned her head to call Qingli, and then joined Chu again: “Thank you, Master Zhou, for your kindness.”
Shen Jia walked in the direction of the carriage, raised his foot, bent over, and sat in.
Since the Shen family moved from Baoning Fang to Chongyi Fang, Qingli specifically asked the coachman: “Let’s go to Chongyi Fang, Shen Mansion.”
The coachman nodded.
The wheels rolled and drove out of the West Market with the sound of rumblings. At first, Shen Hao didn’t feel anything wrong, but she was a person with an excellent sense of direction. After three consecutive streets, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
This is not the direction of returning home.
She opened the curtain, and sure enough, this is not Chongyifang at all.
Shen Hao patted his forehead with his palm.
Qingli said: “What’s wrong with the girl?”
“Stop, stop.” Shen Hao said to the driver.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, the wheels flew around…
Because it was Chu Yi who had just met, Shen Jia didn’t think much about it. Until this moment, the street scenes on both sides kept retreating, and she realized that all this today was clearly arranged…
Where is such a coincidence in this world?
Recently, the first time I went out, I ran into gangsters, and then these gangsters smashed her carriage again! It’s nothing more than smashing her carriage, but how could Zhou Shuan “just happen” to pass through the West Market and prepare a carriage for her early?
I’m afraid that even the few words quoted by Chu Yi were deliberately made by some people.
The carriage didn’t mean to stop at all, Shen Jia tried to calm herself, and then said to the coachman: “Where are you going to take us out of the city?”
The coachman did not answer, and Shen Jia saw that he was getting further and further away from Chongyi Square.
