Chapter 19 Buy Buy Buy
This whole process lasted until late at night.
Lu Yao and Shen Yanrong did not delay any longer and went to bed quickly. Only when they were well rested could they deal with what was to come.
Because they had something on their minds, they woke up early after sleeping for less than two hours.
Yunhao and Xinyue slept soundly. Seeing their parents were up, they did not get up.
Some continued to lie in bed.
This yard was temporarily cleaned up, but it was only used to clean up the bedroom and the small living room. It was enough for one night, but it was only suitable for sleeping.
The group dressed neatly and went straight to the big kitchen of the Shen Mansion without any formalities.
It was still very early at this time, and the servants in the kitchen were preparing breakfast for their masters. When they saw the four people, they were surprised and a little contemptuous. Were these starving ghosts reincarnated?
"I'm so sorry, everyone. We're still preparing meals for the main courtyard and the old lady. How about we go back and wait?"
The kitchen manager was also a shrewd man. He knew that these people were not favored by the master, but he didn't want to offend them openly, so he had to use the tactic of procrastination to appease them first, and then decide whether to prepare anything for them after asking for instructions from his superiors.
Lu Yao and Shen Yanrong were just going through the motions and didn't really want to get food here. After hearing what the steward said, he seemed very easy to talk to and said that they could go back and wait, but the child was still very young and might not be able to wait for long.
The steward nodded with a smile and quickly explained that they had finished the master's affairs here and would definitely prepare them as soon as everything was confirmed.
Only after he sent the person away did he let out a "Pah" sound.
You're just a thing that was kicked out of the house, but you really think you're still the master.
Lu Yao and Shen Yanrong did not really believe what the steward said that the food would be sent to the side courtyard after it was prepared. These people were just looking at the person to be treated differently. They had just tricked the Shen family last night, and they did not think that the Shen family would become friendly because of the deal behind it.
Because they had promised their two children to take them shopping today, they left directly through the back door, preparing to have a big meal outside and go shopping for some things.
The gatekeeper was a little stunned when he saw them, but he opened the door after being urged.
Since there is no explanation from above, we should just... let them do it, right?
To be on the safe side, the servant specifically asked them where they were going, what they were doing and when they would be back. Lu Yao and the others did not hide anything and said that the children were hungry and they were going out to have breakfast and go shopping.
Shen Shiren has already set out to attend the morning court. His rivals have already prepared a big gift for him. Calculating the time, it will be about time for them to come back after eating something and going shopping.
It was still early, but the streets outside were already bustling with activity.
Yunhao is six years old this year and has memories of many things. When he sees the bustling streets outside, he is not as excited as the lively little Xinyue. However, he is a qualified and good brother. He patiently answers his sister's endless questions in his own way. If he encounters something he doesn't understand, he can only ask his parents for help.
Lu Yao and Shen Yanrong did not bother to take the children to a time-honored noodle stall and ordered three bowls of their signature noodles, one bowl for each of the two adults and one bowl for the two children to share, which was just right.
It was the first time for the two children to eat outside since they grew up, and they were a little excited. However, when they really put the food in their mouths, they all looked at their mother and said in unison that the food cooked by their mother was still the most delicious.
Lu Yao took the two children's words as praise for the time being and pinched the two little ones: "Eat quickly, and then we will go buy other delicious food."
Xiao Yunhao and Xiao Xinyue cheered and immediately quickened their eating pace.
After leaving the noodle stall, they strolled along the way. When they saw something delicious and interesting, Chen Yanrong and Lu Yao changed their usual careful calculations and bought everything with a big wave of their hands.
Little Yunhao was mature and sensible, and he knew the family situation. Seeing his parents spending so lavishly, he couldn't help but pull at their sleeves. He felt a little worried, but was afraid that his parents would mention their sad past, so he could only ask politely, "Do we have any money left?"
Lu Yao and Shen Yanrong blushed. How bad had their lives been in the past to leave such a deep impression on the child?
"Don't worry," Shen Yanrong was the thicker-skinned one after all. He patted his pouch and said, "I'm sure I won't keep you here."
Yun Hao's eyes swept across his parents' faces one by one, and he felt relieved when he was sure that they were not deliberately pretending to be strong to comfort him and his sister.
but……
"Did they deliver all of Grandma's stuff?" was all he could think of.
Lu Yao rubbed the little guy's head and said, "Children who think too much will not grow tall."
The child is too precocious and smart. Although I am relieved, I also feel distressed. Moreover, it makes the parents lose face.
Is this a sweet trouble?
"Today, you can be a real child." She pinched the little guy's face and sighed silently, and soon, he lost his freedom.
Thinking of this, she felt more and more guilty.
Husband and wife are of one mind, and Chen Yanrong and Lu Yao feel the same way.
They looked at each other and saw helplessness and guilt in each other's eyes.
As if they had made an agreement, they picked up the two children respectively and went to the next stall to continue shopping.
After buying from the stalls, I went to various stores to buy things.
Although Lu Yao said that there were many things in the space and there was no need to prepare them now, Chen Yanrong still felt that they should prepare as much as possible. Anyway, they had plenty of money now, so they could buy more while the capital was rich in material things. Otherwise, when they arrived in Ganzhou in the future, they might not be able to buy anything they wanted.
What's more, we don't know how long the exile will last. If it's for life...
Lu Yao understood the man's thoughts and agreed with the idea of preparing for a rainy day. Not only did she not stop him, but she actively joined the ranks of large purchases. This made the two children very helpless. They were always worried that they would be kicked out by the boss and the shopkeeper if they had no money to pay the bill.
Fortunately, my parents were able to pay the money, so they didn't have to worry anymore.
only……
I bought too many things to carry.
"How about buying less?" Xiao Yunhao asked tentatively.
Lu Yao and Shen Yanrong shook their heads and refused without thinking. How could they put back the things they had chosen with great difficulty?
The shop owner was very good at business and immediately said that he could deliver it directly to the door.
When they heard that the goods would be delivered to their door, Lu Yao and Shen Yanrong were instantly excited and started shopping without any worries.
Clothes, shoes, socks, cloth, jewelry, pens, ink, paper, inkstone, rice, flour, oil, salt, needles and thread, groceries... I picked a lot of things I thought could be used.
When the agreed delivery time was almost approaching, the group of four reluctantly went back.
That’s right, later on, Xiao Yunhao and Xiao Xinyue also joined the shopping spree.
The delivery boys were also very punctual. When they returned to the back door of the Shen Mansion, each family had just delivered their goods. After making sure that everyone was there, the two led everyone in, but were stopped by the boy guarding the door.
What a joke! Do you really think that just anyone can enter the Shen Mansion?
Lu Yao didn't care. It didn't matter if she didn't go in, as long as the servant could move these things to their yard.
The servant was naturally unhappy about this, so he finally found someone to go in with the people delivering the things, under the pretext of ensuring safety.
Lu Yao shrugged and smiled apologetically at everyone. She didn't care about the people who came to deliver things. As errand runners, what kind of people had they not seen?
However, being used to being bullied does not mean that you like being bullied.
When the things were delivered to the yard, I didn't expect that each person would receive ten cents as a reward. Now, the slight dissatisfaction in my heart disappeared.
After sending away the waiters from various shops, Chen Yanrong ignored the people called by the gatekeeper to monitor him and simply closed the door, blocking out all prying eyes from outside.
