Chapter 123: Look at the family affairs that happened in the past
Shen Yunzheng crawled over, looked left and right, and reached out to pinch Shen Yunyue's nose.
"Sister, tell me a story."
Shen Yunzheng was young after all, at the age when he loved to play and make noises, and it was rare for him to ride in the same carriage with Shen Yunyue and the others.
Fu Xuanheng opened his cold eyelids and opened his thin lips slightly:
"What story do you want to hear?"
His indifferent eyes and cold breath made Shen Yunzheng stop and an uncomfortable smile appeared on his little face.
"Brother-in-law."
Shen Yunzheng was scratching his hands together, lowering his head and not daring to say anything.
He was still very afraid of Fu Xuanheng who didn't smile.
"Let me tell you a story."
Fu Xuanheng picked up a policy paper and began to read it to them.
It’s not even half a cup of tea.
Shen Yunzheng and several other children fell asleep together, only Shen Yunfeng was covering his face and laughing.
Fu Xuanheng lowered his voice and handed the policy paper in his hand to Shen Yunfeng.
"Yunfeng, take a closer look."
Shen Yunfeng took it, reached out and pulled the cloak next to him to cover the little ones who fell asleep while listening to the policy discussion.
"Brother-in-law, don't spend so much money on my sister from now on." Shen Yunfeng flipped through the policy paper in his hand. "This one will cost at least seven or eight taels of silver."
It is difficult for poor people to study, and those who are exiled like them are not allowed to take the imperial examinations for ten generations.
Fu Xuanheng reads a lot of books. "Books are the foundation of life."
Although Shen Yunfeng is young, he already has a mature face.
"I know, but you also know our family's situation. Who knows what it will be like when we get to Shihanzhou?
In a poor family, food is more important than books."
Fu Xuanheng looked at Shen Yunfeng silently. He had also seen many families whose houses had been ransacked.
There are not many people like Shen Yunfeng who have long-term plans.
"Yunfeng, don't overthink it. Yunyue and I have an arrangement. Once we get to Shihanzhou, we'll naturally find ways to make money."
Fu Xuanheng's deep eyes give people endless trust.
"real?"
"When have I ever lied?"
Seeing Fu Xuanheng's arrogant look, Shen Yunfeng didn't say much.
The young prince always speaks his mind.
Fu Xuanheng picked up the book Shen Yunyue was reading. The more he read, the more frightened he became. It was like he was back in the emperor's youth, reading about the family affairs that happened back then.
Who dares to write such a secret?
Aren’t you afraid of being thrown into prison, having your property confiscated, and beheaded?
Fu Xuanheng knew more or less about these things. He had entered the palace as a child and accidentally entered the cold palace.
There, I heard the crazy concubine in the cold palace talk about some forgotten past events.
That was also when it started.
He knows how to hide himself and will not open his heart to others easily.
He looked at Shen Yunyue who was sleeping soundly, his eyes dark and gloomy.
He reached out and tidied up the loose hair on Shen Yunyue's forehead.
Traveling for several days in a row.
The carriage arrived at the ferry.
It takes two days of boat ride.
Qiu Zhiying likes to be with Chen Yunting. However, Chen Yunting seems to be deliberately keeping his distance from him.
Chen Yunting prefers to interact with Fu Xuanheng and Shen Yunyue, while Fu Xuanheng always keeps a distance intentionally.
The fog on the river was so thick that we had to wait for it to clear before we could sail.
The carriage rented by the inn took them back.
Wait until the next ferry and then find a large car shop to rent a new car.
I don’t know if it’s because I was overworked along the way.
Someone collapsed at the ferry.
Old Madam Shen was also not feeling well. She had a scarf wrapped around her forehead and was sitting on a small mattress.
Mo Yiran and Liu Xiaoyun took care of her.
"Mom, drink some warm water."
Mo Yiran handed over the water bag. Old Madam Shen waved her hand weakly and pulled her cloak tighter.
"I feel so cold and uncomfortable, and the cold wind is penetrating into the bones. I want to eat a bowl of hot soup noodles." Old Madam Shen had no appetite and looked very depressed.
Mo Yiran stood up and saw various small vendors hawking their wares at the ferry.
"I'll ask Yunyue to go and take a look."
Mo Yiran walked up to Shen Yunyue and said anxiously:
"Can't you sail yet?"
"There's too much fog on the river. It's lucky we can sail today." Shen Yunyue's eyes fell on the several boats anchored on the river.
"Yunyue, your grandmother is not feeling well. She wants to have some hot noodle soup. Go see if there is any place selling noodle soup?" Mo Yiran didn't dare to take the money to buy noodle soup in such a messy place.
"Okay. I'll buy some more things." Shen Yunyue nodded. Pushing Fu Xuanheng's wheelchair, "Shall we go shopping?"
"Why did you let Xuan Heng follow you when you went to buy a bowl of noodle soup by yourself?"
"Mom, I'm taking Xuan Heng for a walk."
Shen Yunyue smiled as she pushed her wheelchair a few steps forward. Seeing Shen Yunfeng and the others craning their necks to look around, she suddenly found their childish side particularly amusing and waved towards Shen Yunfeng and Shen Yuncheng.
"Yunfeng, Yuncheng. Come here."
"sister."
Shen Yunyue pulled out the purse from her body, took out a few small coins from it, and gave them to Shen Yunfeng and Shen Yuncheng.
He then grabbed a handful of copper coins from his bag and gave them to the two of them.
"Take it and go for a walk. Remember not to run around, and bring Da Niu and Ying Feng with you, okay?" Shen Yunyue knew that the little guys were very jealous.
Shen Yunfeng pursed his lips and looked at Shen Yunyue hesitantly.
Fu Xuanheng straightened the blanket on the wheelchair and said loudly:
"Yunfeng. Traveling thousands of miles and experiencing life are essential skills. Don't worry about the silver, we still have a purple ginseng.
When we get to Yunzhou City, we can sell them and earn silver.”
Shen Yunfeng thought about it and felt relieved.
"Okay. Yunzheng, Yunhai, Lingbao, go buy some delicious food with your brother."
Shen Yuncheng waved to Erniu who was hiding behind him, "Let's go."
"Yingfeng, keep an eye on these little guys. Don't let them get tricked by others." Shen Yunyue still said something to Yingfeng.
"Yes, Miss Yue."
Daniu also followed, "Ms. Yue, I will also watch them."
Daniel followed.
Fu Xuanheng glanced at Da Niu coldly, "Da Niu is suitable for Yunfeng, and Er Niu can be trained for Yunzheng. When you meet a suitable one, give it to Yuncheng..."
Shen Yunyue didn't expect Fu Xuanheng to be so thoughtful.
Movedly said:
"Xuan Heng, you are so thoughtful."
Fu Xuanheng extended his right hand and gently stroked the back of Shen Yunyue's hand. "You need a few more people around you, but we can't do that while we're in exile."
"When we get to Shihan Province, I will not let you suffer like this."
He looked at the boy's hand that fell into his own.
He gradually started to look like an adult, and his hands became very big.
Shen Yunyue looked away and said calmly:
"Go buy some noodle soup for grandma."
The two of them started walking around the dock together. Seeing that there was no hope of the boat sailing, many people at the dock started walking around.
By the way, I was thinking of buying something suitable for use.
Monkey had already taken Xiao Liuzi and the other one to buy food and drinks.
Shen Yunyue glanced at Shen Yunfeng and saw him stop in front of the stall selling candy figures. Lingbao pointed at a candy figure and smiled while talking.
"Do you like sugar people?" Fu Xuanheng asked when he saw it.
Shen Yunyue shook her head and said, "I don't like sugar figures."
The dock was bustling with people working there, loading and unloading goods. There were also quite a few vendors selling food on the dock.
I walked around and didn't see any place selling hot soup noodles.
Shen Yunyue couldn't help but mutter, "Let's walk a little further. Logically, such a large dock should sell hot noodle soup. It's so comfortable to drink a mouthful of hot soup in the middle of winter."
"Walk over there."
Shen Yunyue looked in the direction of Fu Xuanheng's finger.
There were still groups of people walking there.
Unlike the coolies' clothes, they were all people wearing fine cotton clothes.
Shen Yunyue pushed the wheelchair over. Soon, she saw a stove steaming. Hidden by the low-lying houses on the dock, there were several tables.
A young couple was busy at the stove.
A little girl of eight or nine years old was carefully carrying the bowl to the customer.
“There’s actually hot noodle soup.”
Seeing the worldly atmosphere, Shen Yunyue swallowed unconsciously. She wanted to eat too.
"Sir, would you like some wontons or noodles?" The young lady who was busy looked up, saw Shen Yunyue and the others, and greeted them with a smile.
"I'm having wontons. Xuanheng, what are you having?"
"ravioli."
"Give us two bowls of wontons."
"Okay. Two bowls for 12 cents."
"Okay." Shen Yunyue counted out 12 copper coins and handed them over.
"I'll make us another bucket later. Can you sell us this bucket too?"
The young lady did not answer immediately, but glanced at the young man.
The young man nodded happily and said in a deep voice:
"Okay, ten cents for the wooden barrel. This barrel should hold forty bowls of wontons. Are you sure you want it?"
"Sure. I'll give you two hundred and fifty coins."
Shen Yunyue untied the bag on the wheelchair and counted out two hundred and fifty coins from it.
The young lady was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Business is usually slow, so it takes until evening to sell forty bowls. "Miss, the steamed buns I make are delicious too. Would you like some?"
As she spoke, she opened the basket wrapped in a quilt beside her, and inside was steamed buns made of two-grain flour.
"Three coppers and two."
"Give these to me, and help me take them to the ferry later." Shen Yunyue took a look and felt very uncomfortable seeing so many people in her family looking at the steamed buns.
"Okay. I'll send it to you later."
The young lady hurriedly began to count the steamed buns, which cost Shen Yunyue another 120 copper coins.
The happy family of three was particularly enthusiastic towards the two of them.
Shen Yunyue sat on a low stool and took a sip of the soup. It was particularly delicious. She then took out a can of chili sauce from her bag.
He scooped a little into his own bowl.
"Do you want it?"
Don't be fooled by Fu Xuanheng's cold appearance, he is a greedy guy at heart.
"want."
Shen Yunyue scooped a small spoonful for him. "Don't drink the soup in big gulps. Be careful of the spiciness."
The food used to enhance the spiciness now is basically Cornus officinalis, and chili pepper has not yet been discovered.
