"What can I possibly do? I'm sure the Marquis of Changle's wife wouldn't write anything I'd like to read. I'll just treat it as a way to pass the time on this boring journey."
Then he opened the top letter and saw that it still expressed the writer's longing for him. Shen Jia felt that he had been too good-tempered before and knew nothing about his current self.
Otherwise, how could such content be written? After reading a letter, she handed it to Fuqiu and then casually opened the next one.
"You can also take a look, it's all about talking about love."
Fuqiu felt even more distressed when she saw this. The young lady was such a good person, but the lady and the marquis only cared about their own power and status.
Now that he has grown up to what he is now, he wants to steal the free fruits. He is even more hateful than the unscrupulous businessmen she has seen in her years of business.
She finally couldn't help but comfort Shen Jia: "Jia Niang, Master Shen is still in Shengjing?"
"Indeed, we're not going this time to rekindle that long-severed family bond. You must continue to help me this time and strive to let everyone in Shengjing know about our Zhenwei Pavilion. We have countless delicious foods and can earn a lot of money."
"It's natural."
Hearing that Shen Jia's mind was still on his shop, Fuqiu felt that she was still worrying too much. The young lady knew better than herself what she needed to do now.
In this way, under Yu Ma's selfish motive, the group continued to speed up and rush to Shengjing.
After being bumpy on the road for several months, Shen Jia felt like his bones were about to fall apart. Now they were in the queue waiting to enter the city.
Even though the Changle Marquisate was related by marriage to the popular Third Prince, Shengjing was full of officials and they had to wait at the city gate for inspection.
What Shen Jia heard was the official language of the Great Sheng Dynasty, which sounded unfamiliar to her. After staying in the northern border for a long time, she gradually felt that it was her hometown accent. Now, when she suddenly heard the pure official language, she still felt a little unfamiliar.
However, she found it quite interesting to listen to the gossip of the people in such an environment. Officials and the people were on two different paths, so when she lifted the curtain, she was able to see this vivid scene.
Only then did she realize who had been blocking the way ahead.
"This Minister of Personnel's carriage is truly exquisite! I see it's all hung with the finest white jade. He truly is an exceptionally noble figure."
"Of course not. The Third Prince is the most likely to inherit the throne. As his father-in-law, we can afford such an item!"
"You're such a loose-lipped person, could you please keep your voice down? This kind of thing is known to heaven and earth, you and I know it. What if you tell it and get in trouble?"
"Yes, yes, thank you for the reminder, little brother."
Now it seems that there is still a third party between the male and female protagonists who were originally in love, and his previous obstruction was only to cut off Zhao Yuantan's hand from reaching out to the army.
Moreover, Nanny Yu was the most proud nanny in the Changle Marquis's mansion. She didn't believe that no one in the carriage in front knew her.
In this case, there must be a reason why they were blocking the city gate for so long. It was really like a fire at the city gate that affected everyone in the pond.
As the sun gradually rose to mid-sky, Shen Jia felt that the team began to move forward. After all, if they continued to stop it, it would not be something that the Third Prince could cover up. There were many princes and nobles in Shengjing.
By noon, the group passed the inspection of the city gate guards and reached an open area, where the carriage began to stagnate again.
Just as Shen Jia was about to lift the curtain to ask what had happened, he saw Nanny Yu being helped out of the carriage and walking towards him.
She asked with concern, "I wonder what's going on up ahead? Why did Mammy stop the carriage again?"
Nanny Yu had long observed her etiquette. After bowing, she replied respectfully, "Madam is missing you day and night in the mansion, so I have specially asked you to stay at the mansion for a while."
Because of Shen Ci's identity, the house he lived in was not close to the Changle Marquis Mansion. There was a fork in the road right in front of him. Nanny Yu came to ask her to stay in the Marquis Mansion first instead of returning to her home.
Shen Jia naturally rejected this suggestion. She was crazy and would only seek trouble for herself.
"Madam Hou is seriously ill, so Jiahe will naturally go to visit her. However, she is exhausted from the journey, so it is not appropriate for her to come to visit. After Jiahe has recovered for a few days, she will bring a generous gift to you one day."
Fuqiu said to the coachman outside the carriage with great tact, "Let's go straight to the eldest master's residence. Let's go!"
These people are all Shen's confidants, and everyone knows who they should listen to at this time.
Although it is unclear what the relationship is between the Dong family and this so-called Changle Marquis Mansion, the most important person in everyone's mind is Shen Jia.
So when Fuqiu spoke, the guard in charge of driving the car immediately waved the whip in his hand and drove the car away from the original team.
Nanny Yu could not have imagined that Shen Jia, who had always been well-behaved, would actually do such a thing. In her memory, Shen Jia was truly an outstanding woman in terms of appearance and moral integrity. Her behavior of leaving without waiting for someone to finish speaking, as she did today, was definitely not something she could do.
Therefore, when Shen Jia left, she hadn't recovered at all. It was the maid beside her who reminded her:
"Madam Yu, the county lady has left first. How should we report this to the Madam when we return?"
"The county lady has arrived in Shengjing. Madam will arrange the rest. We will go back first."
It was also the first time for Nanny Yu to go to such a cold place in the north. After staying there for a whole winter, she still wasn’t used to it and even felt that her health was getting worse.
Her greatest hope was to be able to return to Hou Mansion as soon as possible. After all, Shen Jia had already arrived in Shengjing, and the monk could run away, but the temple could not.
As soon as Shen Jia's carriage moved, the other Shen family carriages also moved in unison, and the originally huge team suddenly became half empty.
The group followed the carriage that Shen Jia was riding in and rushed to the house where Shen Ci lived. It was also the house where the Shen family had been confiscated before. After the official was reinstated, this house was also given to the Shen family.
So Chen Ci just lived here and didn't have to waste any more money.
Although the news of their arrival had already been told to Shen Ci, Shen Ci had no idea of the exact time, plus the time wasted at the city gate this morning.
When Shen Jia arrived at the gate of the Shen Mansion, the only person who came out to greet him was an old servant who was cleaning the house. Shen Ci had gone to the Hanlin Academy to be on duty and would probably be back very late.
Shen Jia brought quite a lot of people this time. She had arranged for them to stay in the inn directly. Only Fuqiu, Xu Zhao and Lin Yuehu came with her.
Shen Jia instructed the old servant, "First, arrange a room for the four of us to stay in. Heat some water in the kitchen and prepare some food."
"yes."
First, he took the four people to find a place to rest, then washed up, filled their stomachs, and lay down on the bed to rest.
Originally, Shen Jia thought that the first person she would see when she woke up would be her own brother Shen Ci, but when she heard the name reported by the old servant, she was surprised and happy for a moment.
