Liyang Ancient Town is not very far, but it does take a day's work to get there. It takes more than an hour to drive to the ferry, and then it takes half a day to take a boat. This means you will not be on the road all day. .
Tang Jiao sat on the boat, flipping through the prepared snacks. Siye saw Tang Jiao's actions and immediately handed a green ball to Tang Jiao: "Miss, here you go."
Tang Jiao started eating with a smile.
Shen Lianyi said helplessly: "Didn't you say before that there is nothing you can't buy?"
Tang Jiao gasped for a moment, and then said with a smile: "But the freshness has faded, and the mouth is lonely."
Everyone in the group was amused by her.
Shen Lianyi was quite helpless and said, "You really have something to say at any time. You are the best at making excuses."
Tang Jiao stuck out her tongue and then bit into the green dumpling. It was spring now, the lakes and mountains were beautiful. She said softly, "Actually, it's quite different to just enjoy the beautiful scenery on the boat without doing anything else."
Shen Qing nodded in recognition of Tang Jiao's words and said, "If you like, I'll take you to the deck to have a look. I rarely sit in the cabin when I'm alone, and I mostly watch the scenery on the deck."
Tang Jiao really planned to go there and take a look, but she didn't need her uncle to accompany her. She said, "I can go by myself. Where do I need your company, are you still worried that I can't find the way?"
Then she chuckled and stretched her hand out of the window. A gust of wind blew by. Tang Jiao shrank and retracted her hand, saying softly: "Actually, it's a bit cold!"
Her appearance made the Shen Qing brothers and sisters laugh.
Tang Jiao finished eating the green dumplings and started rummaging around again. Shen Lianyi was afraid that she would be full, so she said, "Why don't you go for a walk on the deck? It's going to be uncomfortable if you eat like this."
Tang Jiao thought about it and realized that it made sense. She was really bored, so she simply stood up and said, "Siye, come with me to hang out outside."
The master and servant came to the deck together. The deck was still a bit cool at this time, and there were not many people there. Tang Jiao leaned against the railing, and Siye quickly warned: "Miss, please be careful, I look very dangerous." Woolen cloth!"
She's a little scared!
Tang Jiao laughed, put her little hand on her mouth like a trumpet, and shouted loudly: "Ah..."
The sound rang out, startling a group of seagulls.
Tang Jiao chuckled and said, "Look, it's very fun."
Siye came to Tang Jiao curiously. There was a strong wind on the deck, and Tang Jiao's hair was blown away by the wind, as if it could float away in the wind.
She shouted again: "Liyang, I'm coming!"
Si Ye also became happy. She followed Tang Jiao's example, and the two of them shouted to the sea. When people around them looked at it, they could tell that there were very few people on the boat. Otherwise, how could they be so excited? Everyone also smiled tolerantly.
Tang Jiao looked at the sea for a while, and suddenly felt that there was a line of sight looking at her, and she suddenly turned back.
But there was no one behind her. She looked up at the second floor where the cabin was, and saw a figure in a black windbreaker leaving. Tang Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly.
Siye followed Tang Jiao's gaze and asked, "What's wrong, Miss?"
Tang Jiao said softly: "I always think that figure from the back looks familiar, but... maybe I'm overthinking it, right?"
She turned back and looked towards the sea.
That person will never appear on this ship.
Maybe Tang Jiao rarely takes a boat ride, but this time it was a new experience. In this way, it felt like time passed quickly. She arrived at Liyang without much feeling. This was not the end point. It only lasted fifteen minutes. Tang Jiao and her group quickly disembarked from the boat.
When I got off the boat, I saw two cars waiting here. The man in the lead waved with a bit of cheerfulness: "Cousin."
He hurriedly came up to them, took the luggage of several people, and said, "Are you tired from the boat ride? Get in the car quickly."
Then he looked at Tang Jiao and smiled quickly: "Is this Jiaojiao? I have heard from my cousin all day that Jiaojiao is smart and capable. This time, it seems that she is indeed a smart little girl."
Tang Jiaoqiao laughed heartily. However, he said: "You really have a sharp eye. You can tell that you are smart just by looking at your appearance."
The man was embarrassed for a moment, then quickly laughed: "Jiaojiao is really good at joking."
Shen Qing had no choice but to say softly: "Hey, this is your fourth uncle, his name is Fourth Uncle."
Tang Jiao called in response, and then asked: "Which car should we take?"
Having said that, he looked towards the boat again.
Shen Qing asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Youyou looked around many times when she got off the boat, which made people a little confused.
Tang Jiao shook her head and said, "It's nothing."
She got into the car and saw that Shen Qing was about to take another car. She grabbed the corner of his clothes and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, won't you sit with us? If we are not together, they won't sell us, right?" ? I will tell you what happened on the road then, we..."
Tang Jiao worriedly clasped her fingers and started talking. The more she spoke, the more terrifying she became.
When the one who was called the fourth uncle heard this, the smile on his face could no longer be stretched. He said with a sad face: "Jiaojiao, you really think too much. We are all a family, even if we are not a family, we still do Don’t betray people! You really think too much.”
He wiped his sweat. On a cold April day, he felt like he was sweating for no reason. Is this child suffering from delusions of persecution? Thinking too much!
Tang Jiao was still pondering, and Shen Qing said seriously: "It's okay, just get in the car."
Tang Jiao finally got into the car. Seeing her like this, Shen Lianyi almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
The last time she came with her brother, she was really tortured by these people. Thanks to her good cultivation, she persisted. But inexplicably, Shen Lianyi suddenly felt that such a thing might not happen this time.
Their Ayo...well, it's really outrageous to be so unruly!
However, very good!
Very good, very good!
Tang Jiao didn't care that the driver was the second wife of the Shen family, and said directly: "Mother, what was the name of that person just now?"
After a pause, he added: "The smile is fake."
Shen Lianyi tugged at the hem of her daughter's clothes: "Don't talk nonsense. Fourth brother is very kind."
Speaking of which, Shen Jie from the second room is really the kindest one. However, Shen Lianyi didn't dare to say that these people were good people. She knew very well that these people were afraid that they would take over Shen Qing's property, and Shen Jie was no exception.
She said softly: "I am a guest after all, so please be polite."
Tang Jiao burst out laughing. Seeing the driver's ears perked up, she said arrogantly: "Uncle said, I can do whatever I want. Anyone who makes me unhappy will be shameless for him. He won't care." Anyone else.”
Tang Jiao shook Shen Lianli's arm: "My uncle loves me the most. I don't worry so much. I'm here as a guest. They should be polite to me, why should I be polite to them?"
Shen Lianyi: "...Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want, just take it easy."
Tang Jiao didn't care: "It depends on your mood!"
However, in just a few words, Tang Jiao could almost conclude that she was going to be perceived as a cunning and unreasonable little girl. But fortunately, she is not worried at all about such a character. She is most afraid of being told that she is a good person, but she feels good that she is a bad person.
Only bad people will be cautious about others, while good people are bullied.
The car soon arrived at Shen Zhai. Tang Jiao directed the driver: "Bring your luggage in for me."
Driver: "...Okay, Miss Tang."
When the group entered the courtyard, they saw someone waiting here. As soon as Shen Qing entered the door, he greeted them politely: "Uncle, Second Uncle."
The two old men both had the seriousness of the elders in the big house. Although they wanted to smile a little, they were not people who smiled often and were a little stiff. And the men and women of all sizes following the two old men made Tang Jiao's head hurt even more.
She followed Shen Qing's introduction and called people one by one. She saw that many people looked at her with critical eyes, and Tang Jiao's greetings became more and more perfunctory.
After finally completing the introduction, everyone in the Shen family lifted their crutches and said, "Qing'er is back and let's go to the ancestral hall to pay our respects."
Then without even looking at Shen Lianyi and his daughter, he pulled Shen Qing away.
Tang Jiao suddenly coughed, and Shen Qing immediately asked, "Are you tired from the boat ride?"
He turned around and said, "Let them settle down first and then I'll go over."
Mr. Shen immediately became a little dissatisfied, and his unwillingness was reflected on his face, "What is more important than worshiping ancestors? It's just..."
"The ancestors won't run away. After all, the ancestral hall is here." Shen Qing said without any doubt: "Let's make arrangements."
Shen Jie immediately said: "Second brother, go this way."
He led them to the backyard, and at the same time smoothed things over: "Second brother is tired from traveling and traveling, so he really should rest more."
Tang Jiaoxiao covered her nose with a handkerchief and complained: "This house is so run-down. It smells like corruption."
She made a pun, how could Shen Jie not catch it
The little girl started finding fault with her as soon as she got off the boat, and he was no fool. Thinking back to the fact that Shen Lianyi was not happy last time he came here, and he will come again this time, I wonder if this little girl is deliberately looking for trouble
Tang Jiao muttered: "Uncle, let's bring more food ourselves. Who knows if the food here may be drugged."
Shen Jie stumbled and said helplessly: "Of course not, Jiaojiao really thinks too much."
Tang Jiao chuckled and then said lightly: "Uncle Four is the one who thinks too much. I'm just kidding!"
She entered the house first and asked, "Uncle, where do you live?"
Shen Jie paused and said, "Second brother is in the front yard. After all, this is more convenient. You..."
"No, I have to be close to uncle, otherwise I will have nightmares. It looks a bit scary here." Tang Jiao knew what her uncle meant when she noticed Shen Qing's eyes.
Shen Jie cursed in his heart, but he couldn't say anything. He just smiled and looked at Shen Qing: "Second brother, actually, you see, these rules are always there, otherwise..."
Shen Qing looked directly at Shen Jie: "It's whatever you say. If you find it inconvenient, then we can go live outside. I remember that the conditions of Tianxiang Inn in the town are also very good."
Shen Jie was really helpless, but he still said with a smile: "What did the second brother say? You see how big your family is, how can you live in an inn? If outsiders knew about it, they might think that the family has treated you badly! This is not good .”
He also used hard and soft tactics, hoping that Shen Qing could understand that if he went out to live, everyone would be embarrassed.
But Tang Jiao was smiling: "Why don't I give you any trouble? Is it unfair to treat you badly? Do I have to listen to you in everything, and can I not be unfair to you if I can't have some opinions? So if I can arrange my uncle's room today, will I be able to arrange it tomorrow? With my uncle’s marriage, the day after tomorrow, I can take the boat shop as my own?”
Tang Jiao would never lose in a fight.
Tang Jiao's words made Shen Jie sweat. He said: "Hehe, hehehe, how is this possible? In this case, I will ask my father to see if he can adjust his accommodation. It's better not to go to the inn outside. It's not good. "
He left quickly.
Shen Lianyi whispered: "Why are you so awesome, girl!"
Originally, others said that her daughter was powerful, but she didn't feel it herself, but after just a small confrontation, she saw how powerful Tang Jiao was, and she sighed: "Mom is not as sharp as you."
Shen Qing smiled and gave Tang Jiao a thumbs up.
Tang Jiao said softly, "Uncle, don't say that I did something wrong."
Shen Qing shook his head: "Of course I won't tell you, this is exactly the effect I want."
In fact, he brought them here this time not only for possible marriage, but also to let them understand their position. These people think too much! Sometimes it's hard for him to do blackface, but it's very good if they do it.
He said: "Thank you, Ayo!"
Tang Jiao laughed: "It's okay, I like to be a bad guy!"
This feeling of finding trouble everywhere is so refreshing!
Very cool!
