Chapter 223 The Hidden Fish Thief Thanks Back

The two were in Shen's Tavern, sitting in the same seats as before, but now that the weather was cold, the windows were no longer open.

A small red clay stove was placed in the middle, with a large wide-bellied casserole on it. Inside was Shen Yuan's favorite fish head pot. The fish soup made a bubbling sound, and the heat and aroma rushed out from the gap in the pot lid.

"You said before that you wanted to learn how to ride a horse. Last day off, I went to the stable and saw a beautiful little white horse. I think it's a good match for you. Next time I'm off, we can go there together and I'll teach you how to ride a horse."

"Great! Then we can go riding together next autumn."

After a while, the lid of the pot was opened, and the aroma and heat that had been hidden for a long time suddenly rushed out and splashed on the two people's faces.

Xie Hui reached out and scooped a bowl of soup for Shen Yuan, and said to her with a smile: "Thanks to my uncle, my family has eaten a lot of fish these days. My father couldn't bear to give away the leftover fish, so he asked the kitchen to make it into dried fish, saying that he wanted to keep it."

I heard from the servants at home that his father even wanted to hang the dried fish in the house and watch it every day, but he gave up after being scolded by his mother.

"All the fish my father caught were eaten by Huang Jingao, so now Huang Jingao doesn't even recognize me."

Xie Hui picked up some food for Shen Yuan and said, "Next time I'll steal some fish from my father and give it to you. You can use it to buy golden cakes."

When Shen Yuan heard him say this, he teased him, "You are really a good son to your father, but you are so mean."

"I am also sending a present to his future daughter-in-law, so it is not considered as an act of betrayal."

…

The two of them ate and talked, and the customers next to them had changed several times before they got up. Fortunately, there were not many customers at night, otherwise the shopkeeper would have wanted to chase them away.

After dinner, Xie Hui sent Shen Yuan home. In the carriage, Xie Hui talked about what his mother had repeatedly told him.

"My mother told me to let you come to her house for dinner some other day. She said you can come any day, and the chef in my house is always ready to serve you."

Shen Yuan was originally playing with Xie Hui's hand, and upon hearing this, he pinched him lightly, "You say that as if I can eat a lot."

Xie Hui opened his palms and let her play with them, and said softly, "I mean, everyone loves me."

"Oh, I have something to tell you, but I can't tell you now. I'll have to wait a few days until I have made arrangements."

The clinic can open anytime now, just waiting for an auspicious day, so there is no need to keep it secret any longer. Shen Yuan also plans to tell her father after choosing a good day.

"Okay, I'll wait for you then."

It wasn't too late for them to come back today, so Xie Hui went in with Shen Yuan and said hello to Shen Yun. When they got home, Shen Yun was in the study.

"Dad, you spoil Huang Jin Gao too much. You have to carry it on your back even when you read."

When they entered the study, Shen Yun was reading a book, and Huang Jingao was lying on Shen Yun's shoulder. Every time Shen Yun turned a page, its little head moved along with it.

"It's a cat, and it can be spoiled without being spoiled. Besides, it's much more well-behaved than when you were a child. When you were a child, your father would ask you to read with him, and you would bury your face in the inkstone."

After Shen Yun finished speaking, he raised his head and greeted Xie Hui, "It's still early, would you like to sit for a while?"

"No, I'll come back another day. I'll go back today."

Xie had come to the Shen family more than once or twice, so there was no need to be polite. After saying hello to Shen Yun, he left first. Shen Yuan saw him to the door and made an appointment with him to go horseback riding together on the next day off.

"Qingdai, find me a yellow calendar."

Qing Dai responded and quickly took the almanac over. "Miss, do you want to see the opening date of the clinic?"

"Yes, I have to find an auspicious day."

Shen Yuan studied the almanac for a whole day. The next night, when he saw that everyone had almost finished eating, Shen Yuan took out the almanac.

"Come on, put down your chopsticks for a moment, I have something to say!"

As soon as Shen Yuan's voice came out, Old Madam Shen, Shen Yun and He Ying all put down their chopsticks in unison.

"I want to open a women's clinic on Yongning Street. I have almost finished the preparations. I can find an auspicious day to officially open it. I checked today and the nearest auspicious day is November 26th." After Shen Yuan finished speaking, he sat down again, "I'm done. You can express your opinions and ask me questions!"

He Ying, who knew about this in advance, was the first to express her opinion, "I fully support it."

"So you've been busy with this these days. Women's clinic, this is a good idea, Dad supports it, but if you don't have enough money, just tell me."

"It's not easy to treat people. Grandma, you are not opening a clinic for the purpose of making money, right? Have you thought it through?"

"I need to make money and treat illnesses. My clinic doesn't just treat illnesses, it also provides skin care and health care. There are so many noble ladies in the capital, so I should be able to make some money."

"Since you have made your own plan, then grandma will support it."

"Then let's have a drink together!"

Shen Su came back today, and the moon was at its highest point in the sky. He Ying remembered all his instructions and told her to tell her husband about her plan to open a clinic when he got home. As a member of the family, she couldn't forget him.

Shen Su also had dinner at the Ministry of Personnel, so he washed up directly after returning home. After washing up, he went to see his son who was sleeping like a pig. Then he came back and lay in the soft quilt with his wife, and felt that all the fatigue of the whole day disappeared.

He Ying slowly told him about Shen Yuan opening a clinic. After Shen Yuan heard it, he said proudly, "She is indeed my sister. She has quite a lot of ideas. I support her. I will use my salary for the past two months to support her."

"Manman has always been very thoughtful. Why are you trying to flatter yourself?"

"Yingniang, I am your husband." Shen Su said with grievance, and slowly reached out his hand towards his wife. However, before he could do anything, he was hit.

"You're not tired, are you? If you don't get up to go on duty tomorrow, I won't call you. Go to sleep!"

After hearing this, Shen Xu became obedient. He turned over angrily, lying flat on his back, looking at the bed curtains, and wailed, "When will this life end?"

Recently all the officials in the Ministry of Personnel have the same idea. They have to get up before dawn to go on duty, and it is dark when they leave the duty room at night. It is not an exaggeration to say that they work day and night. However, because of this incident, the relationship between the officials in the Ministry of Personnel has become closer than before. Everyone is united as one and is making such great efforts for the same thing.

I just hope that things don't disappoint their expectations in the end.

Shen Xu wailed at first, but after a while he became confident and sat up from the bed to encourage himself.

He Ying couldn't stand it any longer and slapped Shen Su on the back, "What are you doing? Be quiet, the wind is blowing in!"

"Ma'am, I can't sleep now..."

"Shen Xu, if you can't get up tomorrow, I really won't call you!"

"You can get up, you can get up, Madam, don't worry..."
