The three men looked at each other and thought, okay, they are just too ignorant.
The group drove to the government office and quickly transferred the two houses to Shen Qi'an's name.
Sun Ya Ren stood in front of the yamen, his eyes narrowed with a smile, "Where are you going, gentlemen? Do you want me to give you a ride?"
Chen Li did not refuse, "Then I'll trouble Sister Sun to take us to the nearby carriage shop."
"It's just a small matter."
At the entrance of the carriage shop, Chen Li got off the carriage and waved to the people in the carriage, "Goodbye, Sister Sun."
"Goodbye, young master."
After watching the carriage go away, the smile on Chen Li's face faded and she turned and walked into the carriage shop.
Shen Yuanzhou poked his fourth brother with his hand, then touched his chin, "Do you think my little sister changes her expression so quickly?"
Shen Qi'an had a faint smile on his face, "I will pass this on to my little sister."
"Alas, you..."
Several people rented a carriage, bought quilts, charcoal and other items in the city, and pulled the full carriage back to the house near Lushan Academy.
Shen Yuanzhou was driving outside, and when he saw that they were almost there, he asked loudly, "Little sister, which house are we going to?"
"The one in front."
"good."
After unloading the things, Shen Li fished out a silver note and gave it to Shen Qi'an, "Fourth brother, go buy some furniture."
"OK."
I have to get the furniture quickly, otherwise I may have to sleep on the floor tonight.
The other three people carried back the things they had just bought.
Soon, Shen Qi'an also came back, followed by several strong men carrying beds and desks.
Several beds were put in place, and finally Shen Qi'an looked at Shen Li: "A Li, you live in the main room."
"No, I live in the east wing."
"Okay then."
Next, several people went to clean up their own rooms. There was only a bed and a table in the room. She was quick and cleaned the room briefly. Then she wiped the bed with cold water and waited until the water dried before making the bed.
While they were tidying up, the sky gradually darkened and light snow began to fall from the sky again.
Chen Li went to see the third and fourth brothers and asked, "Have you packed up?"
"alright."
"We don't have time to cook today. Let's go out to eat and buy some vegetables tomorrow."
"Okay then."
There is a college here, and there are several restaurants not far ahead. Since it is not far, a few people walked there and stopped in front of Manxianglou together.
The lights were on inside, and most of the customers eating in the restaurant were students. As soon as they walked in, someone came to greet them.
Still sitting in the lobby, I ordered a squirrel mandarin fish, assorted shrimps, braised three fresh vegetables, roast chicken and a bowl of mutton soup.
Several of them had big appetites and had been busy all afternoon, so they naturally wanted to eat their fill.
The four of them ate while listening to the students talking, but they didn't find it noisy.
The next morning, Chen Li took her third brother to Lu's Trading Company. She had told Lu Jing before that they would meet here.
"Who are you two looking for?"
As soon as I walked in, a bearded, plump man asked.
“My last name is Shen, and I’m looking for your young master.”
Upon hearing this, the fat shopkeeper put on a kind smile and said, "Please wait a moment, my dears. I'll go get the young master to come out."
He then assigned the waiter beside him to serve tea and snacks to Chen Li and the others, and then hurried to the inner courtyard.
Lu Jing was reading a book. He had arrived two days ago and was still wondering why Chen Li and the others had not come yet. Then he heard the shopkeeper say that two young men with the surname Shen had arrived.
He immediately put down the book in his hand, reached out to straighten the wrinkles on his clothes, and then walked out.
When I heard the shopkeeper say that they were two young masters Shen, I thought Shen Li had not come. I didn't expect to see her dressed as a man when I entered.
"Ali, Yuanzhou, you are here."
Chen Li had no opinion on the change in his address. After all, she was wearing men's clothes now, so she couldn't call Ali Sister.
"When did you get here?"
The shopkeeper had already left, leaving the place for them to chat.
"Arrived yesterday."
Lu Jing frowned, "Have you found a place to live?"
Shen Yuanzhou ate cakes on the side and did not participate in the conversation between the two.
"I found it. I bought two houses outside Shanshuyuan yesterday afternoon and have already moved in."
"That's good. There are too many students these days, and the inn is in short supply. I was wondering when you would come over."
"Isn't Anian here?"
Lu Jing pushed the cake in front of her and said, "My aunt is here with my cousin. Anian wants to stay at home with them. Let me tell you, she can't come."
Chen Li nodded, and then they chatted for a while, and then they stood up and said goodbye.
…
Chen Li and Shen Yuanzhou sent the two to the gate of Lushan Academy. There was a crowded crowd in front of Lushan Academy. Looking around, there were scholars and their families who came to see them off.
Shen Qi'an and the other two were carrying a package containing two sets of clothes. Other things, including food, were not allowed to be brought in.
There is accommodation in the academy, and food is also prepared by the academy.
"Fourth brother, Ajing, Xuyou, you two should take care of yourselves and don't catch a cold."
Shen Qi'an nodded, "Ali, I know, don't worry, go back."
After watching the three people walk into the tall gate of the academy and get lost in the crowd of students, Shen Li and Shen Yuanzhou walked back. The crowd was so crowded that they finally squeezed out.
Looking back, no matter how crowded the open space in front of the academy was, there were only the students' firm footsteps on the stone steps of the academy.
Just looking at this point, you can tell that Lushan Academy is worthy of respect in the hearts of students and even their families.
The two returned to the house, and Shen Yuanzhou looked at Shen Li: "A Li, my fourth brother and his family won't be out for half a month. They have things to do at home. It's really boring to stay here. Why don't we go back first?"
Chen Li thought about it and felt it was feasible, "Go back by boat?"
The color on Shen Yuanzhou's face at that moment was like a palette, sometimes red, sometimes white.
"Yes, or we can rent a carriage to go back."
"Puff~"
Seeing her third brother's cowardly look, Chen Li shook her head, "Third brother, it may not be possible. It's raining and there is snow on the road. It's not safe to go back by carriage."
Shen Yuanzhou looked at the rain outside and suddenly felt hopeless. Why was it raining?
But he quickly compromised, "Alright, it's a boat, at least it's fast!"
Both of them were action-oriented and packed their clothes. Fortunately, they didn't buy too much food in the past two days, so as for the rice and noodles, they could still be kept for a while.
After packing up, he drove a rented carriage to Shen's Trading Company and left a key and a letter to his third brother, asking the shopkeeper to show them to his fourth brother and the others when the time comes.
After finishing their business, they returned the rented carriage and hired another one to take them to the dock.
“Ugh~”
Because she knew that her third brother was seasick, she asked for a room directly. Looking at her third brother leaning against the window and vomiting, Chen Li was glad that she was not seasick.
