After Shen Zhaozhao asked, he kept his eyes on Cao Ya, not missing any micro-expression on her face.
Cao Ya lowered her eyes slightly and covered her eyes. When she raised her eyes again, her face was full of confusion.
"Sister Shen," Cao Ya asked, "Are you going to buy some wine? The wine used by the royal family in the palace is usually not available outside."
A seamless answer.
“No, I just want to ask Sister Cao if you have ever drunk this kind of wine?” Shen Zhaozhao did not let go of the gaze she had just avoided.
Shen Zhaozhao was quite sure.
Cao Ya responded to what he just said.
"No," Cao Ya shook her head, "After my mother passed away, I was not taken to the banquets in the palace."
Shen Zhaozhao was blocked by her and could not try again.
If you continue, you will be rubbing salt into other people's wounds.
"Boss, everyone is here."
The officer counted the number of prisoners and reported to Jiang Hu, then ordered the prisoners to pack their bags and prepare to leave.
"My dear officers," the waiter came in from outside and kindly reminded them when he saw them leaving, "Have you brought your rain gear? Dragonflies are flying very low outside."
"It's going to rain soon."
Before the officer could respond, the shopkeeper complained, "It hasn't even been sunny for two days, and it's raining again. We can't even dry the snow mustard greens."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Shen Zhaozhao hurriedly approached the shopkeeper and asked, “Excuse me, has it rained frequently recently?”
The shopkeeper nodded. "No, it has not stopped raining since the beginning of summer. It has been drizzling. We have only seen the sun in the past two days since you came. It has been raining before that."
The waiter also agreed: "There is no water in the valley in front of the grassland outside the town you passed. It was not until this spring that water gathered into a stream in the summer."
"If there were no stream, the grass outside wouldn't be able to grow."
"It's always dry here, but for some reason it's been raining today."
"Mrs. Shen." Jiang Hu had already taken care of the team leaving the inn. When he turned around, he found that Shen Zhaozhao was still talking to the shopkeeper inside, so he came in and called her.
The attitude is quite good.
It can be said that he respectfully asked her to leave.
The shopkeeper and the waiter were amazed.
They often do business with officials and exiled prisoners, but this is the first time they have seen an official treat a prisoner in this way.
If I didn't know, I would have thought that Shen Zhaozhao, who was dressed in linen clothes, was a lady, and Jiang Hu was her guard.
"Sir," Shen Zhaozhao followed Jiang Hu out and said, "I just heard from the shopkeeper and the waiter that it has been raining a lot recently. I wonder if you can allow us to buy some rain gear?"
The further north you go, the fewer trees with large leaves like banana leaves you will find.
Once it rains, they have no rain gear and will get wet.
Hearing Shen Zhaozhao's proposal, the Chen family and the Cao family also hurriedly agreed.
"Sir, please have mercy on us and we will buy some rain gear."
"Yes, we will go there and come back quickly, and will definitely not delay the adults' schedule."
"If we get caught in the rain, some elderly people and children with poor health will fall ill, which will drag down the adults."
Jiang Hu was also somewhat tempted.
In the past, it was rare to have heavy rain or even drizzle along the way. Today was strange, as it started to rain right after leaving the capital.
It's still raining here.
"Miss Shen, it's not that I don't agree with you going shopping," Jiang Hu and Shen Zhaozhao whispered to each other, "We are on duty, and if we can escort people to their destination smoothly, we will have done our job well. If there are any problems along the way, then one or two..."
It would be difficult for him to report to the relevant department.
Shen Zhaozhao understood. It was not that he couldn't buy it, but that he was afraid that people would run away.
"How about this," Shen Zhaozhao whispered a suggestion to Jiang Hu, "just count how many rain gears each family needs, and you can send someone to buy them, and everyone can pay for them and take them away."
Jiang Hu's eyes lit up.
This is really a good idea. Not only do we not have to worry about people running away, but it also gives them a chance to make a profit.
Jiang Hu told the other two families about Shen Zhaozhao's opinion.
The Cao family and the Chen family naturally had no objection. It was a good thing to let them get the rain gear. At most, they would have to give the police some kickbacks for running errands.
As a special person, Shen Zhaozhao was specially allowed by Jiang Hu to go shopping on the street.
The prerequisite is that there must be a guard following her.
"Boss, I'll follow Shen," 굜 Daniu volunteered immediately, fearing that this opportunity would be snatched away by others.
There were so many people around that he hadn't seized the opportunity to be alone with Shen.
There are some things that a girl, as she is, cannot say in front of so many people.
As a man, he needs to create opportunities for the Shen family.
Daniu decided that as long as Shen Zhaozhao took the initiative and put forward that idea, he would not let her down.
Shen Zhaozhao naturally didn't understand Daniu's feelings at the moment, and when she heard Jiang Hu allow her to buy on her own, she was eager to try.
Originally, she only planned to ask the servants to buy oil-paper umbrellas for her, but now that she can go by herself, she has more room for maneuver.
If what the shopkeeper and the waiter said is true, it has been raining frequently recently, so they need more than just an umbrella.
On the road, it is inevitable that we will have to sleep outdoors without a place to shelter from the rain, which is very unbearable.
Shen Zhaozhao needed raincoats so that he could set up a tent when camping outdoors, which would protect him from wind and rain, and keep him warm when it got cold.
"Zhao Zhao, take this silver," the old lady gave all the silver sent by her mother's family to Chen Zhao Zhao at once, "you can buy as much as you want, don't save."
These were the only money the old lady had for her journey.
Shen Zhaozhao held it, it felt heavy.
What my grandmother gave me was not just money, but great trust.
"Please keep it, I have a lot of silver on hand," the old lady gave the silver, but Shen Zhaozhao did not intend to take it, just understood it.
She winked at the old lady and whispered, "The grandson's wife still has some private money."
After saying that, she glanced sideways in the direction of Zhan Nanxing.
The old lady understood and laughed heartily, but she did not refuse and took the bag back.
She must keep it secret.
Shen Zhaozhao turned and walked toward the street, followed closely by Daniu.
Zhan Nanxing was on the stretcher, watching Shen Zhaozhao walk away without looking back.
Beside him, the great man followed closely.
The sidelong glance that Shen Zhaozhao gave him just now made him feel like he was scratched by a cat, both painful and itchy.
Since the unpleasant night last night, she hadn't spoken a single word to him, and the only look she gave him was still the same.
Like a proud cat.
Zhan Nanxing's eyes reflected Shen Zhaozhao's back, as well as the officer beside her who seemed annoying no matter how she looked at him, and her heart ached.
I wish I could replace that officer immediately and stand by her side.
The old lady noticed her grandson's condition and laughed, "Hehe".
Zhan Nanxing looked over and asked, "Grandma, what did Zhao Zhao say to you just now?"
The old lady immediately stopped smiling and turned her head away.
"nothing."
