Chapter 771: Taking a fancy to Shen Qingxiao
It was a rare occasion today that all the Shen family members except Shen Xiao and Shen Yong were at home. Seeing Li Hezhou and his son coming to their house, Wu felt a little suspicious, but she still politely welcomed them into the house.
After seeing Li Hezhou, Shen Qingman went back to his room and never showed up again.
The other female members of the Shen family just showed up and then went back. Only Shen Qingqian stayed with Wu because of her seasoning business with Yun Zhongxian.
As the oldest man in the family, Mr. Shen took the initiative to take over the task of receiving the father and son of the Li family, and Mrs. Wu only occasionally agreed with him.
"I hope you won't blame me for coming here so presumptuously." Li Junxin stood up and bowed to Mrs. Wu.
Mrs. Wu also stood up and said, "You are so polite. We really don't deserve such a large expense."
At first she thought that the two people came to her house for something, but later she saw the servants of the Li family carrying in a row of gifts, and she became even more confused and puzzled.
Their family and the Li family haven't reached the point of giving such a generous gift yet, right?
"Of course I do. My son relies entirely on your care in northern Hubei. These are just my thoughts. Madam, please don't be polite." Li Junxin bowed again.
In fact, he also felt that the gift was a bit too much, but when he thought of Liang Cheng, he felt it was nothing.
The two exchanged a few polite words, and Shen Qingxiao brought a tray and served tea.
Li Junxin looked at her politely twice and quickly looked away. As a result, he saw that Li Hezhou's eyes were also on Shen Qingxiao, but the boy quickly turned his face away.
Could it be that this guy came here today because he had a crush on the girl in front of him?
Li Junxin began to think about this possibility. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Li Hezhou specially brought three pieces of shark silk because he had taken a fancy to the girl from the Shen family.
While thinking, Shen Jun had already started talking about something else.
Shen Qingqian said a few words about the seasoning and then made an excuse to go back to her room.
She knew without thinking that Li Hezhou must be coming for Shen Qingman, but unfortunately Shen Qingman didn't want to give him a chance.
Shen Qingqian would not get involved in such matters, especially since Shen Qingman had already been hurt once. What was even more speechless was that Li Hezhou and Li Hezhi were cousins. Who would be willing to marry into the Li family if they were not deeply in love?
The Li family sent such a generous gift, it would be unreasonable for Mrs. Wu not to leave them some food. Soon, Shen Qingman and others were called to the kitchen to help.
Li Hezhou found an excuse to come out and looked around. He didn't see Shen Qingman, but he saw Shen Qingxiao coming out to fetch water.
"Third Miss, let me do this rough work." Li Hezhou thought for a moment and immediately stepped forward to grab the bucket from Shen Qingxiao's hand.
Shen Qingxiao: "Thank you, Mr. Li." She didn't even have time to refuse before the bucket was snatched away.
Li Hezhou actively fetched some water, and before Shen Qingxiao could speak, he headed towards the kitchen, "I'll just carry it in."
Shen Qingxiao was helpless and could only follow.
This scene happened to be seen by Li Junxin, "This kid, it's true, he's really going backwards as he grows older. Why not say it out loud?"
He just saw that the girl from the Shen family was really nice and her age was about the same as his stupid son.
The most important thing is that the Shen family has reached this stage, and these girls are not only hardworking and able to endure hardships, but also still have the temperament of ladies from noble families. It seems that they have good knowledge and character.
Li Junxin had already imagined that Li Hezhou and Shen Qingxiao were getting married. Li Hezhou in the kitchen was completely unaware of this and was still racking his brains to get close to Shen Qingman.
