Chapter 254 Attending the Banquet
Apart from this, the two had no contact at all, including no correspondence.
Just as Shen Li had said before, there was no other relationship between the two other than their previous friendship.
And two months ago, Shen Yuanzhou left behind a letter and traveled to the ends of the earth with his sword.
The news of the fall of Northern Qi was widely spread on the streets except for the first few days. In the past few days, the people have calmed down.
After all, this place is too far away from the capital, and the news takes too long to be transmitted, and Shen Li did not pay much attention to it.
The reason why she hasn't discussed marriage in the past two years is not because she is waiting for him as Pei Yu said, but because she is a modern person and still a minor, how can she get married!
Moreover, she had no intention of getting married for the time being, so she simply put it on hold.
"Ali."
Shen Li opened the door and asked, "Fourth brother, why are you here?"
In the past two years that Shen Qian'an has been at Lushan Academy, he has become more and more scholarly, his manners are calm, and his conversation is gentle. Compared to when he first entered the academy, he has changed from the inside out.
"Fourth brother will have a day off tomorrow, so he will go back with you."
"Row."
On the second day, the brother and sister boarded the return ship and met their fourth brother's classmate, Su Heng, who was also Su Zhihui's brother.
He also joined Lushan Academy, not through family connections, but was admitted two years ago together with his fourth brother and others, and ranked first.
The man was wearing a green gown with bamboo patterns. He had a handsome face and gentle brows, as if he had walked out of an ancient painting.
"Brother Shen, Miss Shen."
"Brother Su, are you going home today too?"
Su Heng had a faint smile on his face, and there was a bit of doting in his eyes, "Tomorrow is my sister's birthday. If she knew that I didn't go back on my day off, she would definitely make a scene with me."
"I see."
Shen Li knew this. After Su Zhihui found out that she was in Suzhou, she wrote a letter urging her to go back.
Shen Qi'an thought of the woman he had met by chance before, and a smile appeared on his face.
"It's windy outside, why don't you follow me to the room and talk, Brother Shen?"
"it is good."
Shen Qi'an looked at Shen Li, "Ah Li, go back to your room first, Fourth Brother will come to see you later."
"Ah."
He nodded towards Su Heng, then walked towards the room he had booked.
As for Su Heng, Shen Li had heard Su Zhihui mention him many times. Every time, she praised her brother for being so good. After meeting him today, Shen Li found that he lived up to her praise.
Speaking of which, the Su family really loves their daughter. Su Zhihui is already sixteen years old this year, and she has just started looking for a man. It seems that they want to find someone their daughter likes, rather than someone who is of equal social status.
Soon, the ship docked at the Qingxi County Pier. Shen Li and her sister got off the ship with Su Heng, then said goodbye at the pier and each rented a carriage to go home.
The carriage stopped in front of the Shen family's door. As soon as it stopped, the door was opened and a little head popped out.
"Aunt, Fourth Uncle!"
He wanted to run out, but the threshold was too high. His chubby legs kept struggling on the spot with a smile on his face.
There was a servant following behind him, who should be the one who helped him open the door just now, otherwise he would not have been able to open the door with his height.
Shen Li went forward and picked him up, "What are you doing here?"
Shen Mochi put his arms around Shen Li's neck and kissed her on the face several times with a pouty mouth.
Shen Li carried him in and saw the little guy trying to please her. Could it be that he got into trouble at home again?
"Did you make your mother angry again?"
Speaking of this, Shen Mochi sighed deeply in his aunt's arms and muttered softly:
"I just stole a piece of cake, and my mother got angry. She also said, and said..."
"What else can you say?"
Shen Mochi had a smile on his face. He put his arm around his aunt's shoulders and whispered in her ear, "He also said that he would take away all the toys that my aunt brought back for me this time."
When he said this, his lips pouted so much that you could hang an oil bottle on them.
Shen Qian'an, who was standing by, heard this and felt that what his sister-in-law did was right. After all, this was not the first time that his nephew had fallen ill because of this.
Shen Li said, "Is that so? You can't blame your aunt. Go talk to your mother yourself."
Shen Li has never indulged him in this regard.
I thought he would cry, but he sighed like a little adult and said in a baby voice, "Achi has already guessed it."
This sentence made both of them laugh.
Afterwards, he walked into his parents' yard, and Shen Mochi saw his mother with a stern look at a glance, and the fat boy hugged his aunt tightly.
"Aunt, I haven't seen you for several days. I miss you so much!"
Shen Li naturally saw the sister-in-law and asked with a smile: "So?"
"So Auntie has to hold Achi for a while longer!"
"Sister-in-law."
Xu Taohua still had a gentle smile on her face, but after seeing her son, her eyes became a little more dangerous. Shen Mochi smiled sweetly at her, then hugged Shen Li tighter.
“Grandfather, grandmother, fourth uncle and aunt are back!”
The couple came out and took a look, then quickly pulled the person into the house. Lin Cuicui hadn't seen Shen Qian'an for two months, and she felt relieved when she saw that he hadn't lost weight.
The couple had already been prepared for Shen Yuanzhou's departure from home, but it would be a lie to say they were not worried. Fortunately, the child had some money on him and had been trained by Ali for such a long time, so they were not so worried.
The family chatted for a while, and Shen Li directly asked someone to send the gift she bought for Shen Mochi to her sister-in-law's yard, allowing the mother and son to deal with it themselves.
Returning to her own yard, Shen Li went to the small room next to her. There were many gifts piled inside. Of course, the valuable ones were kept in the space. It was just for show.
Tomorrow is Su Zhihui's birthday, so Shen Li should pick a gift for her. The two of them are already familiar with each other. This shameless girl said that she would just ask Shen Li to give her a pot of flowers.
But Shen Li still picked out a set of jewelry for her, which was inlaid with sapphires and of a style suitable for young girls. She bought it herself in Suzhou for one thousand and two taels of silver.
As for flowers, which pot of flowers should I give her?
It is the season when plum blossoms bloom, and there happen to be a few pots of plum blossoms in the yard. Why not just give her one?
There happened to be two pots of green calyx flowers in the yard that were about to bloom. Both had been carefully trimmed, so you could just choose one of them.
The next day, because she was going to a banquet, Shen Li wore an emerald smoke silk cloud dress with a snow fox cloak on the outside. She had fewer jewelries on her head, but all of them were exquisite.
The snow fox cloak on his body is pure and has no trace of other colors, making it extremely precious and rare.
She was going to be a guest, but she had already experienced how these young ladies from official families could step on Gao Fengdi, so she naturally would not embarrass Su Zhihui with her clothes. After all, she was the one who invited her to be a guest.
She was wearing rather plain clothes and had a cool temperament. People who didn't know her identity might have thought she was some rich girl.
