Chapter 106 Promotion
Watching Lord Lu descend from the tower, Xia asked, "Aheng, what were you talking to Lord Lu about?"
"Actually, I don't know either." Shen Heng smiled.
"Oh, right." Xia watched as Lord Lu boarded the carriage from the tower. "Isn't that matchmaker Gao acting as a matchmaker for you and your third sister? I don't know what the situation is."
It definitely won't work. Chen Heng just heard about it and didn't take it to heart at all: "Let's not ask about this matter."
Xia nodded, turned and looked at the carriage in the distance, which had become just a dot. She said sadly, "Min'er's carriage is about to cross the mountain."
"Sister-in-law, we will be able to reunite with Min'er soon."
"That's right." Xia looked away, noticing the commotion at the outer city gate below. "Whose funeral procession is this? Why are there so few people? Don't they have any relatives?"
Chen Heng looked over and saw a funeral procession slowly exiting the city gate. There were only four people carrying the coffin, and apart from the close relatives wearing raw linen mourning clothes, there was no one else.
At this moment, the close relative turned around and glanced at the coffin behind him. Although he couldn't see the expression clearly, he could still tell from his general appearance that it was Shen Yuan.
The person who buried him was his biological mother, Zhou.
A few months ago, that Zhou was still very busy. Shen Heng sighed in her heart: "Sister-in-law, the wind is strong on the city wall, let's go back early."
"Yes."
In the following days, it was cloudy and rainy all day long. The humidity during the plum rain season made the discussion among the people of Nanming turn to complaints about the plum rain season.
He said that his clothes and bedding were very damp and had a smell of damp, and they wouldn't dry even after washing.
Chen Heng didn't have any trouble in this regard. Every time her sister-in-law collected clothes, she would use an iron to iron the clothes. This was not just once or twice, but every time.
Although the Xie family was poor, they kept everything at home very clean.
After Chen Heng came back, she also helped Xia Shi with work to the best of her ability.
These past few times, Xie Jian came back late, took a nap, and then went to the government office early. He seemed to have become very busy all of a sudden, and sometimes Shen Heng couldn't even talk to him.
At the beginning of July, the drizzle continued without stopping.
Just as Chen Heng was leisurely walking back for lunch holding an oil umbrella with a lotus branch painted on it, she unexpectedly found Xie Jian coming home at noon.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard my sister-in-law's voice: "Ajian, have you grown taller again? I see, you are taller by more than a little bit."
"I wasn't the best in the academy before, and now there aren't many people who are better than me." Xie Jian said lightly.
"Aheng is back?" Xia Shi saw Chen Heng and hurriedly pulled her over: "Come, you two compare your heights."
Chen Heng: “…”
Just as she was about to turn around so that they could see each other more clearly with their backs facing each other, she didn't expect Xie Jian to put his hands on her shoulders and turn her over so that they were facing each other.
Meeting Xie Jian's deep, dark eyes, Shen Heng noticed a smug expression on his face, his lips slightly raised. Her forehead almost reached his lips, so he must be around 175cm or 176cm tall. He certainly had the capital to be smug.
"Ajian, have you been tired recently? Do you have leg cramps or shortness of breath at night?" Xia asked with concern.
"Sister-in-law, I'm very unwell."
"That's it."
