Chapter 182: Deep in the Mountains



It wasn't a sudden decision that Mrs. Shen didn't take the money.

On that day when Fei Yanche took away Shen Yu'an's storybooks, saying that they could make money, Old Lady Shen gathered the three brothers of the Shen family together and talked about it.

Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen originally just listened to this as a story and didn't think they could really make much money from it.

So they decided to let Shen Yu'an keep the money earned as her dowry.

The three brothers Shen Rong can still remember what Old Lady Shen said at that time.

Old Mrs. Shen was sitting on a soft stool, and sitting next to her were Old Mr. Shen and the Shen Rong brothers.

She said at the time: "An'an was able to sell the storybook, that was her own ability. I discussed it with your father and we decided that we should not take the silver, so we will leave it to An'an as a dowry."

"You all have your own abilities. You don't have to live on the money earned by the younger generation and bring shame to our ancestors."

Naturally, the three brothers of the Shen family said no.

Old Mrs. Shen even looked at Shen Rong and repeated it.

After saying this, Old Lady Shen asked the three brothers to inform their own families.

This is also to avoid someone being unhappy about her not collecting the money at this time and thinking that she is biased.

The three brothers Shen Rong told their families about this when they returned, but it is unknown what they said in detail.

However, seeing that Old Lady Shen did not take the banknote, the three sisters-in-law, Mrs. Song, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhang, did not seem surprised. It seemed that they had already known about it.

At first, everyone was surprised to see so much silver, but no one wanted to keep it in their hands.

Old Madam Shen looked at Shen Yu'an lovingly and said, "Keep this silver for yourself and save it as a dowry."

On New Year's Eve, the Shen family sits around in the dining room, with a charcoal fire burning inside, making the house exceptionally warm.

In this era when there are very few entertainment options, everyone in the Shen family goes to bed shortly after dinner in the evening.

We have to wait until the early morning tonight, and everyone is squinting their eyes to hold on.

At this time, what Shen Yu'an said became a good way to refresh the mind.

Just as Shen Yu'an was speaking excitedly, bursts of firecrackers were heard outside.

The fireworks here are items that only the rich and powerful can afford. Shen Yu'an suddenly remembered that there are also many fireworks in the space.

She stopped talking and went back to the house to find some fireworks and firecrackers in the space.

It took her a lot of effort to find these.

After finding them, she pulled the fireworks into the yard and called everyone out.

Shen Yu'an explained what this thing was and how it was placed, and everyone in the yard cheered.

The Shen family had tacitly agreed not to ask any more questions when Shen Yu'an took out something they had never seen before.

The others who didn't know the truth also tacitly didn't ask any more questions.

Chen Yun also went next door and called a few people from the Zhang family over so that they could join in the fun.

Brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky, and the scattered sparks emitted light of different colors.

The loud noise successfully attracted everyone in the village. They stood in their own yards and looked up at the sky. They were all shocked by the beautiful scene.

In the courtyard of Zhu Lizheng's house, his son Zhu Hai looked up and said, "It's really beautiful. This direction seems to be the Shen family's direction?"

Zhu Lizheng also came out. After hearing what his son said, he nodded and guessed, "It seems to be the Shen family."

As Zhu Lizheng spoke, he couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the Shen family's financial resources.

Late at night that day, every household in Longxian Village was stunned by the brilliant fireworks in the night sky, which looked beautiful with the stars all over the sky.

This beautiful scene can be seen from quite a distance away from here.

At this time, in the depths of the mountains behind Longxian Village, there was an extremely hidden place.

Fei Yanche stood in front of the door, also looking up at the fireworks exploding in the night sky.

It’s the direction of the Shen family.

One could vaguely see drops of blood sliding down Fei Yanche's hanging arm and falling to the ground.

There was a simple bandage wrapped around his palm, but it did not stop the blood from flowing.

Fei Dong stood at one side and said worriedly: "Master, your injury...bandage it first."

Fei Yanche seemed not to have heard this. He looked up for a moment before retracting his gaze. Looking at the quiet environment around him, he asked, "Where's Fei Xi?"

Fei Dong replied in a serious tone: "My lord, I haven't come back yet."

Fei Yanche clenched his fists. Maybe it was because of the pain or because he heard Fei Xi hadn't come back yet, but his heroic brows frowned slightly.

The next moment, Fei Yanche and Fei Dong heard the sound of quick footsteps.

No one here dares to make such a loud noise, so it is conceivable that the only one who could make such a noise is Feisi.

Feidong turned around and looked in the direction where the footsteps came from. Sure enough, it was Feixi's fat and flexible body rolling over with a smile on his face.

Fei Xi saw him like this, and when he passed by her, he whispered, "Why are you so slow? The master has been waiting for a long time."

Fei Xi rubbed the back of his head and laughed innocently. He said honestly, "When I came back, I saw Miss Shen's yard setting off fireworks, so I stayed to watch."

Feidong turned around, not wanting to see his outspoken 'stupid look'.

Sure enough, as soon as Fei Xi finished speaking, Fei Yanche looked at him with a slightly cold look.

At the same time, there is also a hint of imperceptible...jealousy.

He said in a cold voice: "How is the task assigned to you going?"

Feixi immediately put away the playful smile on his face and explained in detail the task assigned to him today.

Fei Xi had two tasks today, both of which were to deliver letters, one was to Shen Yu'an, and the other was to the person Fei Yanche wanted to win over.

Fei Yanche's expression improved a little when he heard Fei Xi say that the letters had been delivered.

Fei Xi continued, "Miss Shen said that she wanted the master to help her find some people."

"explain."

"It's Miss Shen's maternal grandparents' home. She said that they should have arrived on time, but she didn't know where they were assigned to..."

He looked at Fei Dong standing aside and said, "Go to the capital tomorrow and ask Lord Qin to let him handle this matter. Bring me back as soon as you have any news."

Fei Dong bowed and responded.

Fei Xi stopped talking. Fei Yanche turned his gaze towards him and asked, "What about her? Didn't she say anything else?"

Feixi scratched the back of his head and said, "It seems nothing happened..."

Fei Yanche's dark eyes looked at him intently, and Fei Xi's hair stood on end.
