Early the next morning, just after Shen Ruolan finished her breakfast, she heard her aunt's call: "Lanya, Lanya, are you done packing? The car is here."
Then there was a barking sound from Heizi.
Shen Ruolan went out, and saw a covered carriage parked in front of her house, the aunt was standing at the door of her house, who was louder than Hei Zi.
Beside the carriage, not only Shen Fu was there, but also uncle Shen Debao, aunt Yu Shi, sister-in-law Li Qiaolian and second cousin Shen Jincun were also there, but Shen Ruomei was absent from the whole family.
Seeing Shen Ruolan coming out, the aunt turned her head with a smile, and said to Priest Cun and Shen Jincun: "Lan Ya is coming out, you two should get in the car too, work hard at your second uncle's place, don't make your second uncle angry. "
Shen Ruolan was stunned for a moment: "What? Brother Jin Cun is going too?" The aunt didn't tell Shen Jincun to go too!
Shen Jincun is the same age as Shen Ruolan, only one month older than Shen Ruolan, but taller than Shen Fucun, like a man in his prime, he is a good laborer in the family.
The aunt laughed dryly, and said: "Isn't it? It's not spring yet. It's fine for you Jin Cun to stay at home. I'll discuss it with your uncle and ask him to come and have a look. If you If there is work for him at father's place, then just let him do it at your father's place. If there are so many jobs at your father's place for him to do, let him look for it elsewhere. Anyway, the county is so big, you can definitely find someone to eat The place."
Shen Ruolan was speechless, the aunt was playing tricks like this, there was no one else.
I was afraid that she would disagree, so I didn't tell her that Shen Jincun was going too, but now I thought of telling her before getting in the car, and said that Jincun was looking for work with the past, not necessarily at her father's place, and she had to let it go. Let's go, besides, the car is still hired by their family.
At that time, when it comes to dad, dad's business is so good, why would he have the nerve to let his nephew go out to find work, instead of giving him a bite to eat
Therefore, the aunt's abacus is still very loud, and the wisdom of rural women should not be underestimated!
Shen Ruolan now understood that the aunt was playing tricks, but she silently followed her two cousins into the car without saying anything.
It's not that she is easy to talk, but she thinks that her second cousin, Shen Jincun, is a good person. Although Shen Jincun usually has no sense of presence, he has never bullied her cousin, and he knows how to talk to her after meeting her all these years Words, to show that she recognizes the existence of her sister, is much better than Shen Ruomei's nostril-seeing dead thing.
Just for this point, she acquiesced to the aunt's tricks, which can be regarded as a hand to them, otherwise, if Shen Jincun and Shen Ruomei are so estranged, even if the aunt said it was a big day, she would not let him. follow.
**
When we arrived at the county seat, Shen Dejian didn't go out to deliver the goods today. Shen Ruolan waited until then, and he was happily packing up.
Seeing Shen Ruolan coming with Shen Fucun and Shen Jincun, Shen Dejian said with a smile: "You guys are here, unfortunately, we are going back."
Shen Ruolan asked in surprise: "What's wrong? Why do you want to go back when you're doing well?"
Zhaodi rushed to say: "Second uncle is not doing it here, but going to Jizhou to do it."
"Yes, Dad is going to a big place to develop his career." Shen Dejian said quite proudly.
After finishing speaking, he also took out two silver bills, handed them to Shen Ruolan, and said boldly: "Girl, take it, this is earned by father for you, and it will be saved for our family to build a house and buy land in the future."
Shen Ruolan took a look at the banknotes, and found that they were actually two large-value banknotes of one hundred taels each. She raised her head, "Father, where did this come from?"
Dad earns more than one or two taels of silver every day, she knows that, but the sum of money earned these days is not so much, not to mention that the few of them live and eat here, and they spend a lot of money , Where did the money come from
Shen Dejian laughed, and said in a good mood: "Father is lucky. When I went to the restaurant to deliver goods yesterday, I happened to meet a merchant from Jizhou. After he ate daddy's crystal jelly, he asked Dad to go to Jizhou. Bian Er sold it, and said that we are only responsible for doing it, and he will buy it when it is finished. Dad thinks this is better, so he doesn’t have to deliver the goods everywhere, you see—"
He handed a contract to Shen Ruolan, "That merchant even signed a contract of two hundred taels of silver with dad!"
Shen Ruolan took the contract over and looked it over, and felt that it was fair and reasonable, so she readily agreed and said, "Father, when do you plan to go? I can help you prepare for it?"
Shen Dejian said: "If you don't come today, Dad will go back today, but since you are here, it is the first time for Fu Cun and Jin Cun to enter the county, so let's leave tomorrow, and now Dad will take you out for a stroll , to buy some food and drink, we are also rich now, so we don’t have to live with our stomachs stretched.”
Shen Fucun and Shen Jincun were very happy when they heard that they were going out for a walk, Zhao Di and the others were also very happy, since they came here, they haven't really gone out for a walk, now they have the opportunity to go out for a walk, they are naturally very happy !
Shen Dejian handed over the two hundred taels of silver to Shen Ruolan, and said, "Girl, you keep the money, and keep it for our family to build a house, buy horses and land in the future, and in the future, our family will just keep the money, daddy." Just be responsible for making money for you."
Shen Ruolan took the money and said with a smile: "That's okay, Dad, you can rest assured to work in Jizhou. I will help you build the house at home, buy the carriage, and buy more than ten mu of good land with the remaining money. Just wait until you come back to be a master!"
Shen Dejian laughed out loud, and Shen Fucun and others also laughed. Seeing that it was already noon, Shen Dejian waved his hand boldly: "Let's go, let's not eat at home, let's learn from the rich and go to restaurants on the street."
It happened that Shen Ruolan had something to do with Zhang Siye, and after hearing that her father said that she would take everyone to a restaurant, she took them to Sihai Restaurant.
It was the first time for Shen Fucun, Shen Jincun, and Zhaodi sisters to enter such a high-end place. After entering, they didn't know how to put their hands and feet. Shen Dejian always ran to the big restaurant during this time. He took them calmly and sat down on a big table in the hall.
As for the private room on the second floor, Shen Dejian would not go there. In his mind, going to a separate room for dinner would cost extra money.
When ordering, Shen Dejian generously ordered stewed vermicelli with pork, stewed crucian carp with sauce, and stewed chicken with mushrooms. The three dishes were all hard dishes, and he also ordered two vegetarian dishes. I can't get enough to eat. When I saw so much oily meat, my eyeballs turned green. I shook my cheeks for a meal, and I was so glib that I didn't put down my chopsticks until I couldn't eat any more.
Zhaodi didn't eat less. These days at Ershu's place, although they are full, their cooking skills are very average, that is, they can cook the food well. Fortunately, Ershu doesn't Be picky, otherwise they don't know what to do.
Shen Ruolan was the first to finish eating, and after finishing eating, she went upstairs to find Fourth Master Zhang.
Last time, I made an appointment with Mr. Zhang. I will go to Qingzhou to visit Master Rong in a few days, and take a look at the yard model of Master Rong's house by the way.
Master Rong has many miniature models of houses and courtyards at home. Guests can choose the style of the house and courtyard based on these models, and they can also propose modifications based on these models. Building a house is not a trivial matter, and it may last a lifetime. I have to continue to live, so Shen Ruolan hopes to build a house that suits her heart's desires.
Fourth Master Zhang was also there, and the two made an appointment to go to Qingzhou together in eight days.
Qingzhou is in the south of Nong'an County, more than 280 miles away from Nong'an County, and it takes two days to get there by carriage, because Shen Ruolan is going to Jizhou to see her father off tomorrow, and it will take a few days to go back and forth, so I just The date of going to Qingzhou was set eight days later.
That afternoon, Shen Ruolan also went to the house on Sishui Street, bought some food and rice for Dong'er and his grandma, and the grandfather and grandson stayed in Shen Ruolan's house for the past two days, eating well and sleeping warmly I am very grateful to Shen Ruolan. When Shen Ruolan passed by today, Grandma Dong'er wanted to kowtow to Shen Ruolan, but she was stopped by Shen Ruolan.
For such an old person, if she really asked her to kowtow to herself, it would shorten her lifespan.
She let them live here with peace of mind, and when she was free, she was thinking about how to arrange them.
The next day, Shen Dejian hired two cars, took Shen Ruolan, brothers Shen Fucun, and sister Zhaodi, and left Nong'an County for Jizhou with their bags.
Jizhou is in the north of Nong'an County, and the carriage drove fast all the way, and it took two and a half days to reach Jizhou City.
Jizhou is much bigger and more prosperous than Nong'an. As soon as they entered the city, Zhaodi and Shen Fucun all lay on the window of the car, looking around, and their eyes were not enough. Even Shen Dejian couldn't help but raise the curtain of the car, staring intently. look out.
