Chapter 293 Encounter, Strange
After having a safe breakfast, Shen Li took Shen Mochi to her yard. There were more than a dozen lanterns in the room, which Shen Li brought back last night.
I originally wasn't in the mood to go out, but thinking of what I had promised the little one, I went for another walk before the lantern festival was over.
Shen Qian'an just heard about this today. No one told him last night for fear of disturbing his rest. Fortunately, Shen Mochi is fine.
Shen Qian'an looked normal, but in fact he felt an indescribable sense of self-blame in his heart. It seemed that he was not strong enough, so his family didn't want to trouble him.
"Mom and Dad, since everything is fine at home, I will go back first."
Shen Changshan nodded, "Okay, go back, don't worry about the things at home, and prepare for the next thing."
"Well, I know."
The family sent him to the door, and Shen Qianan got on the carriage. "Dad, Mom, Sister-in-law, Third Brother, A-Li, let's go back. It's windy outside."
The family nodded, and Shen Qian'an understood. He asked the coachman to drive the carriage away. The family did not return to the house until he was far away.
"Ali, when are we going back?"
Xu Taohua asked. Although Suzhou City was very prosperous, what happened last night still left her with some psychological trauma. She wanted to return to the place she was familiar with as soon as possible.
"If you don't want to stay, you can go back today."
Lin Cuicui also nodded, "Okay, let's go back this afternoon. I've been away from Daohua Village for so long, I miss it a lot."
This is the first time I’ve been away for so long since I came to Daohua Village, and I really miss it a little.
"can."
Shen Li nodded, "Then let's go back this afternoon. Is there anything that Dad, Mom and Sister-in-law would like to bring back?"
"No, I don't need anything at home, so I won't bring anything back from far away."
"Okay then, let's set off again in the afternoon. By the way, Mom, I have a lunch date with a friend, so I won't be eating at home."
Shen Yuanzhou was curious, "Ali, what friend? Do I know him?"
In fact, what he wanted to ask most was whether he could go, but he was still a little shy.
"Third brother knows the Su brothers and sisters. They helped me with some things last night. I agreed to treat them to a meal today."
"Oh, so that's it. I feel relieved then." Then he turned around and looked at Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui, "Mom and Dad, I'm going out for a walk."
"Go."
When Shen Qian'an passed by a bookstore, he stopped the carriage. He was still short of a few books and planned to go down and take a look. Unexpectedly, he met the Su brother and sister in the bookstore.
"Brother Su?"
"Brother Shen?"
The two shouted in unison, then smiled at each other.
Originally, Su Heng also went to study abroad. He set off for the capital city near the end of the year, so he visited two fewer places than Shen Qian'an and the others.
However, considering his family background, this was not a big problem, and the teacher did not hesitate and directly granted him leave.
Su Zhihui only glanced at Shen Qian'an quickly. The young man's figure was as straight as a cypress, and the scholarly temperament on him was even more obvious than last time. After bowing to him, she lowered her head and stopped looking at him.
She was very familiar with A-Li, but had only met his brothers a few times. Especially the fourth brother, he always gave her a sense of oppression, even stronger than her own eldest brother.
"Brother Shen, are you here today to buy the books that the teacher needs for the course?"
"Brother Su too?"
The two walked in side by side, and Su Heng said with a smile: "That's right, I didn't expect that Brother Shen and I have such a good relationship."
"Then let's go together, but Miss Su..."
There's nothing wrong with the two of them going together, but choosing books takes some time. Isn't it inappropriate to let Miss Su, a girl, follow them?
Su Heng also looked at his sister, and remembered the teahouse he saw when he came here just now, "Ahui, there is a teahouse opposite, you can take your friends there to have a few cups of hot tea first, and I will come to pick you up later."
"it is good."
Su Zhihui quickly left with a little maid, and Su Heng and Shen Qian'an also began to look for books.
Shen Li waited until the Su brother and sister came to visit before going out with them.
"Ali, where are we going?"
"There are so many restaurants in Suzhou City, which one do you want to eat at?"
Su Zhihui raised her eyebrows slightly, "I know a restaurant. The dishes they cook are very authentic. Ah Li, have you ever eaten there? Let's go and try it?"
"No, I'm treating you to a meal today. Let's go eat whatever you want."
Su Zhihui hugged her wrist and said, "Well, Ah Li is so generous. I really like it."
Su Heng was sitting opposite them, and he didn't look up at the two girls opposite him, but the expression on his face was very relaxed, and the aura emanating from his whole body was full of joy.
They soon arrived at the restaurant that Su Zhihui mentioned. The decoration style was somewhat different from that of Suzhou and seemed to be more like that of Beijing.
There were a lot of people in the restaurant. Su Zhihui had already greeted everyone in advance and booked a private room, so the three of them went straight into the room.
"Ali, you can try this glutinous rice dumpling from his shop. It's filled with roses. I like it very much. You can try it too."
Shen Li raised her eyebrows slightly. It had rose filling. Pei Yu also brought her a bowl last time. Could it be from this restaurant?
"it is good."
"Brother, do you want it?"
Su Heng shook his head, "You guys eat it, I don't like this kind of sweet food."
"Okay."
Su Zhihui discussed with Shen Li again and ordered a few more dishes, but didn't order any more. There were only three of them, and too much would be a waste.
"Miss Shen, your fourth brother will also end up like this year, right?"
Shen Li shook her head. "My fourth brother has never participated in the imperial examination before. This year, he will start with the Tongsheng examination."
Su Heng nodded, "Your fourth brother is very talented, it's not that you were delayed in the past, your achievements now cannot be low."
When Su Zhihui heard their conversation, her eyebrows twitched slightly. Thinking of the man with a tall and straight figure like a pine tree just now, her ears inadvertently turned red.
There are too many charcoal braziers in this box. It's very hot!
Shen Li did not comment on what he said. Talent cannot be faked. People's personalities are different at each stage. If you want to succeed, talent, personality and hard work are all indispensable.
"What Brother Su said may be right, but without the experience along the way, Fourth Brother might not have such determination."
Su Heng nodded, "I am narrow-minded."
He knew that their family had fled here before. Although he had not experienced it personally, his father was the head of a county. He was very clear about these things and what the refugees encountered on the road. Therefore, he admired the young girl in front of him very much.
"Brother, why are you saying this?"
Su Zhihui pulled Shen Li and sat a little further away from Su Heng. It was not easy for her to have the chance to spend time with A-li, and she couldn't let her elder brother take up all the time.
Su Heng looked at his sister's actions, then looked at the two girls sitting opposite him, shook his head, but didn't say anything more.
