Chapter 97 Suburban Inn

Old Madam Meng gave Su Xueyi a few more instructions before going back with Su Erya.

In any case, Shen Yueyao took a bowl of spicy hot pot from the pot and asked Madam Meng to bring it to Daya.

After Madam Meng and Su Erya went back, Shen Yueyao took care of Dabao and Erbao to take a bath and let them go to bed.

Then she worked until very late, and only after washing up did she get ready to go to bed.

Originally, Shen Yueyao thought Su Xueyi had fallen asleep, but she didn't expect him to still be sitting there.

Shen Yueyao always felt that something was not right. Su Xueyi had a cold and lonely aura around him, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.

And the way he looked at her seemed like he wanted to say something.

Shen Yueyao usually thought that if Su Xueyi didn’t say anything, she wouldn’t ask any more questions.

But thinking about leaving for the military camp tomorrow, I still have to take all the things at home into consideration.

She asked, "Husband, do you have anything to say to me?"

Su Xueyi was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Yao Niang, have you ever thought about what you want or what you like?"

Shen Yueyao was stunned for a moment and said, “I haven’t thought much about this.”

Now that she has her clothes on again, she just wants to make the best of it and live each day to the fullest.

Su Xueyi said in a clear and gentle voice, "Have you ever thought about what kind of life you want?"

Shen Yueyao thought about it carefully and said, "Maybe it's just that I hope my family can live a good, stable and happy life."

Shen Yueyao is not the type to worry about nothing.

She usually doesn't think too much about how to live her life every day.

Now that she was wearing it again, she wouldn't think too much about it and cause herself trouble.

Su Xueyi looked at Shen Yueyao seriously with her picturesque features and realized that she was telling the truth.

"Have you never thought about wealth and glory?"

His sister-in-law likes a life of wealth and glory and cannot bear hardship.

His second sister-in-law was soft-hearted, like a dodder, and needed to rely on his second brother for survival. When his second brother's body couldn't hold on, his second sister-in-law followed him.

He went to see Daya that day, and Daya also said that she wanted to live a better life and a rich life, and there was nothing wrong with her.

Many of the women from the eunuch and marquis families in the capital pursue the same goals as Daya.

Shen Yueyao didn't understand why Su Xueyi said this, but she still answered: "In that case, we have to do a bigger business. It's safer to do a small business now. When we have more money, we can do more business and expand it little by little. Then our family can live a better life."

"By then, there will be prosperity and wealth."

"Don't worry about anything else, and don't feel any pressure. Look, we're already making money from the chili meat sauce. Later on, I can make money from preserved eggs, salted duck eggs, and fermented tofu. I can also braise duck heads and necks, and hire people to take them out. There are many other delicious foods that can also make money..."

"When I have more money, I can rent a shop, and maybe even sell it."

"I'm even thinking of buying a small house in town so that it will be more convenient for you and Dabao and Erbao to go to the academy in the future."

"But I suspect you won't be able to stay in the town academy for long. After you pass the exam, you'll go to the provincial capital to study, and there will be spring and autumn examinations..."

"Don't worry, I will save enough money to give you as travel expenses."

Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi analyzed these.

Su Xueyi looked at Shen Yueyao at this moment and felt that she was emitting a moving glow, even the moonlight was overshadowed by her glow.

She had never thought about relying on others, she always thought about relying on herself.

And she would also think about being good to them.

He didn't know where she came from, nor did he understand what kind of environment could produce such a beautiful girl.

Hearing this, Su Xueyi smiled slowly. Although her smile was very light and faint, it carried a gentle and affectionate aura, dispelling the coldness and loneliness from him.

"Yao Niang, I don't want you to be tired and exhausted."

And him.

Shen Yueyao shook her head and said, "Don't worry, this won't be tiring."

In fact, it feels very fulfilling to have something to gain every day.

Moreover, the pace of life in this era is much slower than that in the technological age.

Every day, everyone works from sunrise to sunset. Looking at the curling smoke from the cooking stoves in the village, the body and mind will involuntarily relax.

All vegetables and meat are pure green ingredients, so you can eat them with confidence.

She is still very content.

Just by listening to Shen Yueyao's words, Su Xueyi felt that the responsibility weighing on her heart could be relieved a little.

After talking for a while, Shen Yueyao fell asleep.

Looking at Shen Yueyao who was lying beside her and slowly falling asleep, Su Xueyi shook her head and laughed, then gently covered her with the quilt.

After a long while, Su Xueyi slowly lowered her head, and when she was about to approach Shen Yueyao's forehead, Su Xueyi paused.

After a pause, he got up, covered her with the quilt, gently tidied her messy hair, and then slowly lay down to sleep.

…

After a good night's sleep, Shen Yueyao went to the town to meet up with her fourth brother early the next morning, and then went to the escort agency with him.

After meeting with the young master Han of the escort agency, he set off.

Although Young Master Han did not ask for the money for Lu Yechen's sake, Shen Yueyao could not remain silent.

She asked her fourth brother to send two large jars of chili meat sauce and two bottles of fermented tofu.

Shen Yueyao also brought some dry food with her, which she ate with meat sauce on the way.

They all traveled faster in carriages.

Everything was peaceful for the past two days.

It was only on the second night that they stayed in an inn to rest.

However, this inn is quite remote, on the outskirts of the mountains.

Shen Yueyao looked at the surrounding environment, looked at Shen Shaojing and said, “Fourth brother, why are you resting in this place?”

Shen Shaojing said: “I just heard from the people of the escort agency that every time they go there, they take this road and rest here. They often rest in the inn here.”

"Sister, is there something wrong?"

Shen Yueyao always felt that there was an unusual atmosphere in the inn. She concentrated and said, "I feel something is wrong. Don't use the food and water in the inn later. We should eat and drink the food and water we brought with us. Even when we sleep, don't sleep too deeply."

When Shen Shaojing heard this, his expression changed, “Sister, should I go and tell Master Han?”

Shen Shaojing believed in his sister's judgment anyway.

Shen Yueyao said: "Just go and tell them, it's up to them whether they believe it or not."

Shen Shaojing nodded: "I understand."

"Young Master Han even had his people come over to thank me, saying the meat sauce and fermented tofu we gave them were delicious."

Shen Yueyao's expression changed. The escort agency often traveled far and wide. It would be great if they could order chili meat sauce and fermented tofu from her. That would also be a regular business.

So, Shen Yueyao nodded and let her fourth brother go and talk.

If there is really a problem with the inn, Mr. Han will be prepared in advance and will do them a favor.

In the middle of the night, Shen Yueyao was lying on the bed, and after a while, she smelled smoke in the air.

Fortunately, when Shen Yueyao came, she made some spare medicine.

She and her fourth brother had already taken one, so this little bit of smoke had no effect on her.
