Chunguang Brocade

Chapter 137 Strangers (4000 words without talking face to face)
Shen Chuxia waved her hand, this kind of wealthy daughter is too bored to be jealous, so she won't talk to Ji Chong about such a boring thing, "Hurry up and go to the business store to see if all the local specialties have arrived?"

The little lady didn't mind, and Xi Xin didn't persuade her any more, and followed her to the store to see the stock situation.

Before I knew it, it was the New Year's Eve. While urging the eldest daughter, Shen Yuanshi asked her husband when he would come back to celebrate the New Year, and asked her, "Should we bring grandma and the others over to celebrate the New Year, or should we go back to Yunbei Town for the New Year?"

There are two Shen and Yuan families in Yunbei Town. "Of course we go back to Yunnan for the New Year."

Furthermore, Shen Chuxia had another thought, the Yulin Lane courtyard was Ji Chong's house, and she felt that it would not be good for Shen Yuan and his family to come here to celebrate the New Year.

"Then... what if your father doesn't see us when he returns to the capital?"

"If he comes back, he can go to Yunbei Town."

Shen Chuxia could understand how his wife missed her husband, but she felt that Shen Jinlin might be back for the Chinese New Year this year.

"..." Shen Yuanshi opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but choked.

Shen Mingxi glanced at the two brothers, "When will the father come back? Will the eldest brother and the second brother come back before they return to Pengcheng?"

"I... have time to ask." Since Laba, Shen Chuxia hasn't seen Ji Chong for more than 20 days.

She was busy making money, and he was busy dealing with political affairs.

There's really no time for romance.

fall in love?Thinking of the beautiful woman in front of the carriage that day, Shen Chuxia's reddened ear roots returned to normal, she was high-ranking and handsome, and she really didn't know who would win it in the end.

Withdrawing her thoughts, Shen Chuxia said: "Mother, you guys pack up your things first, I'll go and say hello to Boss Yu and I'll be back."

Unable to reunite with her husband, Shen Yuanshi's spirit is not very good, "Well, I see."

Shen Chuxia lifted her foot to go out.

Behind him came Shen Xiaoqiu's question, "Brother Xi, Erniang hasn't been here for many days, is there something she can't leave, or ask Uncle Mu to send a message to Erniang, saying that we Back to Yunbei for the Chinese New Year."

"Oh." Shen Mingxi seemed to be in a bad mood.

Shen Chuxia asked Xi Xin while walking, "How often does his mother come here?"

"Not necessarily, but the longest will not exceed half a month."

"What about this time?"

"It's exactly half a month from Laba to today's Xiaonian."

Shen Chuxia turned her head to look at Shen Mingxi again, this time she was going to put him with Mr. Shen when she returned to Yunbei, but no one cared about him recently, he was playing wild.

On the way, Xi Xin found that the little lady who was going back to Yunnan didn't mention the matter of saying goodbye to His Highness at all, so she reminded with a smile, "Little lady, are you leaving right away?"

"tomorrow morning."

"Then you go to see His Highness when you come back from Boss Yu?"

Shen Chuxia was resting her chin in a daze, when she heard her words, she raised her eyelids to look at her.

Xi Xin smiled at her.

For some reason, Shen Chuxia thought that she missed someone a little bit, but didn't want to say goodbye to him, as if something was twisting in her heart, this emotion came from inexplicable.

The little lady didn't know why she was in a bad mood, and Xi Xin didn't dare to say more.

I explained the work matters with Boss Yu, and mentioned the bonus at the end of the year, "Boss Yu, you can just ask someone to give it to me."

"That may be until the end of the year." Boss Yu said apologetically.

"It's okay." She was not short of money, and got up, "Then go back first, and Boss Yu will come to me if there is anything."

"well."

After saying hello, Shen Chuxia went back to the city and met Zhang Shuran at the door of the tailor shop. Even though they lived not far away, they hadn't contacted each other for a long time.

Face to face.

For a while, I didn't know how to say hello.

Hey!Who is still young and young, I hope everything you encounter is as you wish.

"You also come to buy clothes!" Shen Chu smiled first.

Zhang Shuran pursed her lower lip, "Yeah." The voice was very low, as if blown away by the cold wind.

She smiled and raised her foot, "Then let's go together." After finishing speaking, she stopped and waited for her to walk in step.

"You...you go ahead." Amidst the embarrassment, Zhang Shuran was distant and indifferent.

She was like this, Shen Chuxia was a little sad, but it was just sad. Before they met, they lived on different life trajectories. From now on, they will also live their own lives on different life trajectories.

Zhang Shuran turned and went to another shop.

After all, Shen Chuxia had been friendly before. After walking a few steps, Shen Chuxia couldn't help but turn her head. Her back resolutely left her sight. She once thought that she would be her good girlfriend in the Wei Dynasty, but she never thought that she would leave for a man. Arrived at Stranger Things.

"Little lady, Miss Zhang, she..."

"It's okay." She turned around with a smile, and went into the shop to buy clothes for the New Year for her grandparents.

Almost one piece for everyone, Shen Chuxia picked out everything in one shop, and was too lazy to go to other places, there was only one word for shopping - tired.

"Little lady, the clothes are ready, do you want to buy anything else?"

"My mother has prepared the rice cakes and shortbread for the Chinese New Year."

Xi Xin nodded, "Almost."

"Then let's go home." The life of the Shen Yuan family is good now, everyone has enough food and clothing, these gifts are also a wish, as long as the wish comes.

To go back to Yunnan, Shen Xiu'er also came out to buy gifts for her family. The eldest brother will go back to Peng Cheng next spring, so she has to buy some good pens, inks, papers and inkstones for him. She and the girl went all the way to find a good pens and inks shop.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by someone on the street, "The shop is all set up for you, why don't you go do business?" Xiao Guo's uncle Liu Weixian attended a small New Year's Eve dinner in a certain mansion.

My sister is gone, so this Xiaoguo uncle is useless. The master invited him, but he was thrown aside like a transparent person. The once glorious Xiaoguo uncle has never been so angry.

Angrily left early.

Just when he was bored to vent his anger, he saw a certain young lady who got out of the carriage and stopped her with a playful smile on her face.

Shen Xiu'er has been staying in her boudoir, she has never seen such a thug, her face blushed, "Then there is no way to force someone to rent the shop, you should rent it to someone else."

"300 taels of rent, I only charge you three taels, what else do you want, grandma?"

"I didn't ask you to rent three taels." The little lady stared back at him, walked around him and left.

"..." Thinking about what kind of person his Uncle Xiaoguo is, he doesn't rush up the Little Niangzi Peak wherever he goes, and why he refuses to beg someone to rent a shop here. What kind of Fengshui is this?
The little girl followed the little lady and hurried all the way, looking behind her from time to time in fear, "Little lady, he is following us!"

"Don't pay attention to him, and don't look back, he won't follow if he thinks he's bored."

"Oh, yes, lady."

Uncle Xiaoguo Liu Weixian noticed that the little lady in front seemed to be looking for a brush and ink shop, and when she rolled her eyes, she had an idea, and shouted to the front, "I know pens, inks, papers and inkstones, I will help you choose."

The little lady ignored her and walked away on her own.

Liu Weixian hurriedly followed, walking side by side with her, "Really, I'm a man, and I know better about buying these than your little ladies. The water in the pen, ink, paper and inkstone is deep, and I accidentally bought a bad product."

"..." Shen Xiu'er found out that she really didn't know how to write, ink, paper and inkstone, so she knew that scholars' things were expensive.

"Really, I won't lie to you." Liu Weixian pointed his fingers and explained the routine of pen and ink, which made the little lady startled for a while.

"Is there really such a big difference?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Liu Weixian saw the little lady being fooled by him, and smiled all over his face, "Go, brother will take you to a cheap and high-quality shop. I guarantee that you will be praised when you buy it back."

So many people on the street should be fine!Shen Xiu'er looked at the girl next to her again, and thought, there are so many people, in order to save money, don't be afraid.

The shopkeeper in the shop was dozing off, and when he saw Uncle Xiao Guo, he shivered in fright, "Small..." Oh my god, usually the managers come to check the shop, but today Uncle Xiao Guo came to check it himself, did someone give it to him? He's wearing small shoes, is he going to lose his position as the manager of this small shop?
Just as he begged for mercy, Uncle Xiaoguo turned his back on him.

Hey, isn't it here to resign him, but to pick up a little lady?

The virtue of the master is there, and the subordinates can understand it with a glance, and quickly introduced enthusiastically, "Little lady, what kind of paper do you want? Pink with watermarks, or Xiangfei paper with the fragrance of plum blossoms?"

Did you buy it to write love poems for Uncle Xiaoguo?

Shen Xiu'er didn't notice the vulgar and flattering look of the shopkeeper at all, "Buy pens and ink for my brother who is a scholar."

The shopkeeper saw that the color was wrong, smiled awkwardly, and quickly turned around to take the good-quality goat hair brush, "Most scholars like to use this, the pen size is medium, the pen is full and powerful when dipped in ink, it is a rare top-grade pen .”

Shen Xiuer didn't understand, she quietly looked at Uncle Xiaoguo.

Liu Weixian nodded solemnly, "The store's introduction is good."

"Then buy it, how much?"

"one……"

"One hundred Wen." Uncle Da Guo replied first.

The shopkeeper was taken aback, for one or two yuan turned into one hundred coins, and he couldn't even buy a corner of the pen holder.

Shen Xiu'er was very satisfied, "Bring some more paper and ink."

The shopkeeper asked, Shizi, do you still have it?Will it be sold as a hundred coins again?

"See what I do?" Uncle Xiaoguo stared and was about to change his face.

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he quickly took the best ink sticks and the best paper.

"How much is this again?"

"Ink stick one..."

"It's also a hundred words."

Uh... It's one or two taels of money, but it's still a hundred cash, how can he get this account.

Shen Xiu'er bought all the pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Both men and women in the Shen family can read and write. She has also been enlightened and used pens, inks, papers and inkstones. She thinks what she bought today is good and the price is fair.

"Thank you, Uncle Guo." Shen Xiu'er is a good boy who understands etiquette.

It's a pity that someone's mind is not pure, "If you don't know it, just thank me verbally."

"..." How can I thank you?Shen Xiu'er looked at him in surprise, how could this person be different from her father and elder brother.

One is an orthodox child taught by the farming and studying family, and the other is a son born with a golden key in his mouth. How could it be the same.

Uncle Xiaoguo raised his eyebrows, "At noon, I've been with my lady for so long, don't you even invite me to dinner?"

Can the little lady invite a stranger to dinner?This is really beyond Shen Xiuer's cognition.

In the days of Xiaonian, there are three officials, three people, four boats and five boats.Today is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, which is the New Year celebration for the family of officials.It was rare for Su Juesong to go home for dinner, and in a hurry, he unexpectedly met Miss Shen, and hurriedly got off the carriage.

"Miss Shen..."

Hearing someone shout, Shen Chuxia stopped, "Master Su——"

"Little lady, this is..." The girl behind her had her hands full.

"It's an annual gift for my family." Shen Chuxia smiled, "Where is Master Su going?"

"Are you in the capital or..." Su Juesong knew everything about the Shen family's situation like the back of his hand.

"Go back to Yunnan for the New Year."

"When?"

"Tomorrow morning."

Through her expression and tone, Su Juesong understood that she was not planning to say goodbye to His Highness, and he really wanted to ask, it's not so good, but there is still half a day in the afternoon, and there is time in the evening, in case the little lady goes to the palace to meet His Highness said hello and farewell, so what did he say?

He could only laugh like a haha, "How long will it take to see the little lady?" I should ask this question for His Highness first, if I really leave without saying hello, I have something to look forward to.

Shen Chuxia didn't know Master Su's rich inner activities, so he said with a smile, "February or March."

"so long?"

"Yeah, I'm going to wait for my two younger brothers to return to Pengcheng to see the opportunity to come to Beijing."

He thought he was staying in Yunbei to prepare a dowry to marry His Highness, but in the end he didn't feel like getting married at all?Don't you have money?
Su Juesong didn't know if the other little ladies had any money, but this little lady in front of her was definitely a wealthy owner, so why didn't she prepare a dowry? What did she mean?Shen Jinlin didn't come back?

"Then don't bother Master Su, I'm going home for dinner."

Su Juesong was stunned, "Okay." He left with a professional smile in doubt.

In the Prince Regent's Mansion, Mu Tong and others sat in the corridor in front of the study and chatted, "Yishi, why haven't you gone out recently?"

"Why did you go out?" Zhishi glanced at him, as if she heard an idiot asking.

Mu Tong pretended not to see his expression, "You said that a man and a woman are very good friends, isn't it like seeing each other every day?"

"Okay, Mu Tong, you even understand this, tell me quickly, you've fallen in love with that little lady, do you want your highness to protect the matchmaker?"

"Save your size." Mu Tong rolled his eyes, "His Royal Highness and Miss Shen are gone for half a month."

"..." Zhishi didn't understand.

Hopu didn't understand either.

"You...you..." Mu Tong died of anger, and hurriedly appointed someone, "You, hurry up to the Ministry of Rites and inquire about how they are preparing for His Highness's wedding."

"..." The master is going to get married, but these servants don't feel the joy of the master getting married at all. Could it be that His Highness is not like this? It's their illusion.

How did she meet Master Su? Shen Chuxia's peaceful mood was disturbed, and she felt very irritable for a while.

Seeing the little lady kneading her fine hair into a chicken coop, Xi Xin said, "Little lady, why don't we go to the palace, if we go again at night, His Highness might have entered the palace."

"..." Shen Chuxia really wanted to say what it had to do with her that he entered the palace, but between him and Ji Chong, his bodyguards knew it, and if she said that, she would look like tea.

Forget it, isn't it just to say hello and go home for the New Year, so let's pay him a New Year's greeting in advance.

During the Chinese New Year, there are many contacts between people.

For ordinary people, favors are bothersome and costly; for the rich, it is time to exchange resources through festivals.
