Apart from this, the two had no other interactions, including no correspondence.
Just as Chen Li had said before, there was no other relationship between the two other than their previous friendship.
And two months ago, Shen Yuanzhou left behind a letter and traveled to the ends of the earth with his sword.
The news of the fall of Northern Qi was widely circulated on the streets except for the first few days. In recent days, the people have calmed down.
After all, this place is too far away from the capital, and the news is too far away to be transmitted, and Chen Li did not pay much attention to it.
The reason why she hasn't discussed marriage in the past two years is not because she is waiting for him as Pei Yu said, but because she is a modern person and is still a minor. How can she get married?
Moreover, she had no intention of getting married for the time being, so she simply put it on hold.
"Ali."
Chen Li opened the door, "Fourth brother, why are you here?"
In the past two years, Shen Qi'an has been at Lushan Academy. His scholarly air has become more and more prominent. His manners are calm and his conversation is gentle. Compared to when he first entered the academy, he has changed from the inside out.
"Fourth brother will be on holiday tomorrow, so I'll go back with you."
"OK."
On the second day, the brother and sister boarded the ship for their return journey, and on the ship they met their fourth brother's classmate, Su Heng, who was also Su Zhihui's brother.
He also joined Lushan Academy, not through family connections, but because he was admitted two years ago together with his fourth brother and others, and he still had the advantage of being the first.
The man was wearing a green long gown with bamboo patterns. He had a handsome face and gentle brows, as if he had walked out of an ancient painting.
“Brother Shen, Miss Shen.”
"Brother Su, are you going home today too?"
Su Heng had a faint smile on his face, and there was a hint of doting in his eyes, "Tomorrow is my sister's birthday. If she knew I didn't go back on my day off, she would definitely make a scene with me."
"I see."
Chen Li knew this. After Su Zhihui found out that she was in Suzhou, she wrote a letter urging her to go back.
Shen Qi'an thought of the woman he had met unexpectedly before, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It's windy outside, Brother Shen, why don't you follow me into the room and have a chat."
"good."
Shen Qi'an looked at Shen Li, "Ali, go back to your room first, Fourth Brother will come to see you later."
"Um."
He nodded to Su Heng, then walked towards the room he had booked.
As for Su Heng, Chen Li had heard Su Zhihui mention him many times. Every time, she praised her brother for being so good. After meeting him today, she found that he lived up to her praise.
Speaking of which, the Su family also loves their daughter. Su Zhihui is already sixteen years old this year and has just started looking for a man. It seems that they want to find someone their daughter likes, rather than someone who is of equal social status.
Soon, the boat docked at the Qingxi County Pier. Chen Li and her sister and Su Heng got off the boat together, said goodbye at the pier, and each rented a carriage to go home.
The carriage stopped in front of the Shen family's door. Just as it stopped, the door was opened and a little head popped out.
"Aunt, Fourth Uncle!"
He wanted to run out, but the threshold was too high. His little fat legs kept fiddling with the ground, with a smile on his face.
There was a servant following behind him, who should be the one who helped him open the door just now, otherwise he would not be able to open the door with his height.
Shen Li stepped forward and picked him up, "What are you doing here?"
Shen Mochi put his arms around Shen Li's neck and kissed her on the face several times with a pout.
Chen Li carried him in and saw the little guy trying to please her. Could it be that he had gotten into trouble at home again?
"Did you make your mother angry again?"
Speaking of this, Shen Mochi sighed deeply in his aunt's arms and muttered softly:
"I just stole a piece of cake, and Mom got mad at me. She kept saying, 'And...'"
"What else?"
Shen Mochi had a smile on his face. He put his arm around his aunt's shoulders and whispered in her ear, "He also said he would confiscate all the toys that Aunt brought back for me this time."
When he said this, his lips pouted so much that an oil bottle could be hung on them.
Shen Qi'an, who was standing by, heard this and felt that what his sister-in-law did was right. After all, this was not the first time that his nephew had fallen ill because of this.
Chen Li said: "Is that so? You can't blame your aunt. Go talk to your mother yourself."
Regarding this aspect, Chen Li has never indulged him.
I thought he would cry, but he sighed like a little adult and said in a baby voice, "Achi has guessed it."
This sentence made both of them laugh.
Afterwards, when he walked into his parents' yard, Shen Mochi saw his mother with a bad look in her eyes, and the fat boy hugged his aunt tightly with his hands.
"Auntie, I haven't seen you for several days. I miss you so much!"
Chen Li naturally saw the sister-in-law and asked with a smile: "So?"
"So Auntie has to hold Achi for a while longer!"
"Sister-in-law."
Xu Taohua still had a gentle smile on her face, but after seeing her son, her eyes became a little more dangerous. Shen Mochi smiled sweetly at her, then hugged Shen Li tighter.
“Grandfather, grandmother, fourth uncle and aunt are back!”
The couple came out and took a look, then quickly pulled the person into the house. Lin Cuicui hadn't seen Shen Qi'an for two months, and she felt relieved when she saw that he hadn't lost weight.
The couple had already prepared for Shen Yuanzhou's departure, but it would be a lie to say they weren't worried. Fortunately, the child had some money on him and had been trained by A-Li for so long, so they were not so worried.
The family chatted for a while, and Chen Li directly asked someone to send the gift she bought for Shen Mochi to her sister-in-law's yard, allowing the mother and son to deal with it themselves.
Returning to his own yard, Chen Li went to the small room next to him. There were many gifts piled inside. Of course, the valuable ones were kept in the space. It was just for show.
Tomorrow is Su Zhihui's birthday, so I need to pick a gift for her. The two of them are already familiar with each other, and this shameless girl said that she would just ask Chen Li to give her a pot of flowers.
But Chen Li still picked out a set of jewelry for her, inlaid with sapphires, with a style suitable for young girls. She bought it herself in Suzhou for 1,000 taels of silver.
As for flowers, which pot of flowers should I give her?
It is the season when plum blossoms bloom, and there happen to be a few pots of plum blossoms in the yard. Why not just give her one?
There are two pots of green calyx in the yard that are about to bloom. Both pots have been carefully trimmed, so you can just choose one.
The next day, because she was going to a banquet, Chen Li wore an emerald smoke silk cloud skirt with a snow fox cloak on the outside. There were fewer jewelries on her head, but each piece was exquisite.
The snow fox cloak on his body is completely free of any other colors and is extremely precious and rare.
She was going to visit someone, but she had already experienced how these young ladies from official families could step on Gao Fengdi, so she naturally would not embarrass Su Zhihui with her clothes. After all, she was the one who invited her to be a guest.
She was wearing rather plain clothes, and coupled with her cool temperament, people who didn't know her identity would think she was some rich girl.
