Chapter 402: Shen Family Village Clan
Fu Xuanheng glanced at her nonchalantly, "A name is just a symbol. You and I may not meet again in the future, so there is no need for us to leave our names."
Lu Zhiling: ...?
This was the first time he took the initiative and was rejected.
Can't tolerate it.
Lu Zhiling was thick-skinned and did not take Fu Xuanheng's rejection seriously.
He turned around and returned to his carriage, carrying a pot of good wine.
"It's fate that we met, why don't we have a drink together."
Fu Xuanheng: “......?” The expression on his face wasn’t cold enough?
An Yi took a pot of pear blossom wine from his horse's back and opened the lid before reaching the front of the tent.
The rich aroma of wine fills the air.
Lu Zhiling: “?”
He threw the rotten water in his hand towards the servant.
“Good wine.”
He took a deep breath and asked, "If I give you money, can you let me eat for free?"
"cannot."
"Hahaha, then I won't eat for free. I'll just eat the food and drink the wine." Lu Zhiling smiled and watched Fu Xuanheng making tea.
He raised his hands to pick up the teacup on the folding table and drank it in one gulp.
“Good tea.”
Then he sighed deeply, "This tea is much better than the Nanshan Red tea I had before."
This was the first time Shen Yunyue met someone who was so friendly and didn't treat her as an outsider.
"Mr. Lu, do you usually get along with strangers like this?" Shen Yunyue sat next to Fu Xuanheng in the canopy tent.
There are several small tents next to it.
There were two burning stoves in the canopy tent.
Lu Zhiling felt a little hot and took off his cloak. He casually draped it on the stool next to him and said bluntly:
"That's not the case."
"I was attracted here by the aroma of your food and your strange tent."
There are similar tents on the border, which are the houses of nomads.
But it's not this light.
Fu Xuanheng spoke casually:
"My last name is Fu."
Lu Zhiling breathed a sigh of relief and could have today's meal.
"Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu." Lu Zhiling held the teacup, suppressing his doubts, and turned to look at An Yi and the others. "Are you also doing business?"
"Yeah. Kind of."
Fu Xuanheng thought he was also doing business.
Drink tea for a while.
The meal is ready.
Lu Zhiling was eating here for free, so his servants and the people from the escort agency naturally made a fire and cooked their own meals.
Several people were eating around a table.
It's just a cup of tea.
A dozen children ran in from the village entrance. They squatted nearby and watched Shen Yunyue and the others eat with eager eyes.
A faint sound was heard.
"Do they eat meat?"
"It's meat. It smells really good. Even better than the smell coming from the kitchen of the landlord in this town."
"What else does it smell like?"
"I wonder what that is? It smells delicious, definitely better than meat."
The villages nearby mainly rely on potatoes and sweet potatoes.
There was no rice, and many people had never eaten rice in their entire lives.
“It smells so happy.”
The dozen or so children spoke in very low voices, but Shen Yunyue and the others had very good hearing.
She looked at An Yi indifferently.
"Give them some steamed buns with a piece of meat."
"yes."
An Yi walked over.
A dozen or so children were so frightened that they stood up and timidly said:
"Sorry, we'll just go away now."
An Yi doesn't know how to laugh, so he can only try hard to force a smile that he thinks is very gentle.
"Don't be afraid."
On the opposite side, the youngest boy was immediately frightened and burst into tears.
Woo woo woo, so scary.
The other children retreated one after another.
Ba Nian hurried over and smiled. "Don't cry, sister wants you to taste the meat and see if it's delicious."
"Really?"
"But we don't have any copper coins."
"I have nothing to exchange with you."
Looking at these childish faces, Bayan explained with a smile:
"You don't need to exchange anything. We have too much meat today to finish it."
"Wow, there's still more meat to eat?"
It was unimaginable for them that a dozen children lined up and followed Bayan.
From their behavior, Shen Yunyue knew that the people in the nearby village were good people.
Each person gets a steamed bun and a piece of pork belly.
Or a piece of chicken.
When Lu Zhiling saw that Shen Yunyue and the others were doing good deeds, he would definitely ignore these people under normal circumstances.
At this moment, it would be awkward for him, a freeloader, to do nothing.
He hurriedly called the servant over and said, "Bring some rice and flour to share with them."
"Just give them rice and let them go back and taste the rice with their families."
Shen Yunyue asked the oldest boy.
"Can you ask your village chief to come to us? I'd like to spend money to renovate the land temple. This matter can be handed over to your village chief."
The boy nodded quickly.
"I'll go call the village chief over now."
Lu Zhiling glanced at the Earth God Temple and said, "I've passed by here dozens of times, but I've never been inside. You guys want to renovate the Earth God Temple for the first time, no wonder you look so rich and powerful."
The Lu family is also a prominent family.
Logically speaking, the people they met on the road were all from the same aristocratic families as them.
otherwise.
They all look like small families.
They are definitely not as wealthy as him. These two people are definitely rich people.
From the tea I just drank, to the rice I cooked, the wine I drank, the bowls I used, and the silver charcoal I didn't care about.
Even the thing hanging in the skylight is a small night pearl.
There were several bright lanterns hanging on the tree next to it.
It's so annoying.
I was completely devastated.
Which wealthy and prestigious family is this? Even the princes in the capital wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant, right?
The other children took steamed buns and came to express their gratitude one by one.
They can't bear to eat it themselves.
Take it back and eat it with your family. Shen Yunyue doesn’t care whether they take it back or eat it here.
She just had an inexplicable liking for this place.
As a result, I love the people here and become more tolerant of them.
After dinner.
An Yi and others were cleaning up.
Lu Zhiling felt embarrassed to stay here, so he moved slowly to his place.
They had to spend the night in the carriage.
The bodyguards and servants can only rely on the fire to warm themselves.
Fortunately, Lu Zhiling is thick-skinned.
He asked his men to move closer to the campfire of An Yi and the others, but did not dare to get close to Shen Yunyue and Fu Xuanheng.
About the time of an incense stick.
Someone was walking out of the village with a lit torch.
An Yi moved his ears.
"About six or seven people."
"Yeah." Shen Yunyue yawned.
The table in the tent had been put away, and now a mat was spread on the ground. On top of it was a mattress, and Shen Yunyue was leaning against the mattress with a blanket covering her legs.
There is a low table next to it.
Fu Xuanheng sat next to her, and steaming tea was brewing in the small red clay stove next to him.
After dinner.
The best way to drink it is to brew a pot of daughter's red tea.
An Yi saw those people approaching and went to meet them. He had to see who they were first.
If they are not satisfied, just send them away and don't let them see Shen Yunyue.
Shen Yunyue was about to pick up the storybook again, but was stopped by Fu Xuanheng. "Be careful not to hurt your eyes."
Shen Yunyue: “?” Can you say it another way?
Fu Xuanheng said to Shen Yunyue with a smile on his face:
"The villagers are here."
Shen Yunyue sat up and sat side by side with Fu Xuanheng.
The villagers who came over were all elderly, except for one who was about thirty years old. He looked very similar to the old man with the fewest patches on his body, and it seemed that they were father and son.
One of the old men came over and clasped his fists:
"Sir, Madam. I am the patriarch and village chief of Shenjia Village. I heard from the villagers that the two nobles want to renovate the land temple."
When Fu Xuanheng heard this, he thought it was really a coincidence.
From the same clan as Shen Yunyue.
He looked up at the village chief and several villagers carefully, "What a coincidence, my wife's surname is also Chen. We passed by here and entered the land temple. I feel that I have a connection with the land god here."
"So I thought of spending money to repair the land temple."
Village Chief Shen glanced at Shen Yunyue in surprise and said, "We are a branch of Jiahe Prefecture. We have settled here for one or two hundred years."
Shen Yunyue smiled and said, "My father is also from Jiahe Mansion."
"I wonder what your mother's name is?"
"My father is Ci, and my generation is Yun."
"That's my aunt." The village chief knelt down with everyone else.
Shen Yunyue:...?
How come her generation status was raised to that of an aunt?
Village Chief Shen kowtowed happily and said, "A person of the same generation as my aunt passed away just years ago. In our village, he is an ancestor who shakes the earth three times when you stamp your feet."
Shen Yunyue: “……?”
this?
It's outrageous.
Village chief Shen hurriedly introduced the people next to him, calling Shen Yunyue "Auntie" all the time, which made Shen Yunyue feel embarrassed.
Fu Xuanheng held back his laughter.
He told Village Chief Shen not to rush to recognize Zong.
I asked about the situation in the village and was told that most people relied on hunting, while the rest also farmed, but mostly grew potatoes and sweet potatoes.
“We also grow wheat, but the yield is not high.”
Village Elder Shen felt a little embarrassed.
Logically speaking, when meeting my aunt for the first time, I should use the best things in the village to entertain them.
But now... ?
"Yuan Jing, go get the fox fur at home and present it to grandma." Village chief Shen hurriedly instructed his son.
The young man in his thirties quickly responded, "Old Ancestor, I'll go home and get you some fox fur. It's a white fox fur, and it takes very good nitre."
Shen Yunyue: “?”
Ancestor?
That's not necessary. She glared at Fu Xuanheng in reproach, blaming him for being such a quick-tongued guy.
