I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 247 Back

However, as Yue Jinxuan talked about other things, Shen Xiaoye had to choose the right time to interrupt him, "Master Yue, if you have anything to say, just speak up."

"No, it's okay." Yue Jinxuan slowed down and continued, "Well, it was when your cousin's full moon was coming last time, your friends from the capital came.

I asked Geng Ge'er, but he said he didn't know him. Changsui has been very busy since he came back, so I haven't had a chance to ask him yet."

"Tell me more about it." Shen Xiaoye saw a suspicious blush on his face. Is this the young Mu Ai? That must be a young girl.

But does she have such a friend in Beijing? She continued, "Which elder brought him here?"

"She came with the separated Miss Yuan. She has a round face and loves to laugh.

Can you tell me who it is? I can ask my parents to ask someone to mediate. "Now that it was said, Yue Jinxuan was no longer shy.

Shen Xiaoye thought to herself that her little cousin will be one month old in April. Won't your anxious look affect his studies?

She had a vague guess as to who it was, but she still needed to be cautious, "Let me ask Madam Yuan first.

The entrance exam will be next month, you have to work hard!"

"Thank you." Yue Jinxuan bowed and Shen Xiaoye quickly avoided him.

Shen Cungeng and Shi Cun came over and saw this scene. He frowned and walked over quickly, "Brother Yue, if you have anything to say, you can come to me or Fourth Uncle."

Seeing that his worries were about to be solved, Yue Jinxuan said easily: "Brother Geng, your fourth uncle and I are brothers, and you and your niece are juniors."

"Let's talk about our own affairs." Shen Cungeng's defensive look gradually dropped, and then he added: "For the sake of my fourth uncle, I will not call you Brother Yue from now on."

"That's right. I have to go back to attend the teacher's class. We can talk again when we have time." After saying that, Yue Jinxuan nodded at the three people present and left.

Shen Cungeng picked up the little black cat from the tree fork, looked at his cousin again, and decided to ask her privately about what had just happened.

Shicun next to him said, "Miss Shen, the master is busy. When he learned that you are back, he asked me to take you to the farm outside the city to settle the calf.

When Master Shen mentioned this earlier, the master had people rebuild the cattle and sheep pens on the farm."

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lao." Shen Xiaoye just needed a place.

The farm is only three or five miles away from the city, right next to Songfu Village, and Doctor Ge's home is also in the village.

She came back exhausted and didn't want to disturb him, so she planned to visit the old man another day to ask about her grandfather's condition.

When they arrived at Mr. Pan's farm, the cows were driven into the pen with the help of the tenant farmers. Before leaving, Xin Laojiu said that he would find a few more knowledgeable friends tomorrow to train the calves to walk in a straight line along the ridges as soon as possible.

Since Shen Xiaoye came to him, he would just let him do what he wants.

"Xiao Ye, after thinking it over, I think you should go home first, and then we can rent a boat to go to the city. We can stay on the boat tonight and arrive early tomorrow morning.

Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, they all miss you so much. Fourth uncle comes home every day now. "On the way back, Shen Cungeng explained his thoughts.

After hearing this, Xuanmiao also said, "Why don't I wait for you at Lingxu Temple?" The two senior brothers had already gone to the Taoist temple in the city for something.

"Okay." Shen Xiaoye put his uncle's affairs first and instinctively put other relatives behind.

She traded her horse and ten-inch stick for a donkey cart, and rushed on the road with her cousin at lightning speed.

Shen Cungeng wanted to say "slow down" several times, but swallowed his words back every time under the calm yet contemptuous gaze of the little black cat.

When the two arrived at the entrance of the village, Mr. Pan's donkey almost knelt down from exhaustion.

"Xiao Ye, you're back?" Zhuangzhuang came over carrying a bag of things. Behind him was old Mrs. Hang who had a fierce look on her face. Ever since she returned home after serving her sentence, she had never given anyone a good look.

When she saw Shen Xiaoye, she took a step back. This girl would really take action when she was forced into a corner. Even her own pretentious sister-in-law, Xia, could not get any advantage from her.

She handed the donkey cart to Shen Cungeng and said, "Yes, where are you going?"

"My grandma wants to go to Lingshan Temple to worship Buddha for a few days." Zhuangzhuang is addicted to reading and doesn't want to go, but no one else in the family is free.

Shen Xiaoye looked at the donkey that was too tired to move, so she didn't let him use it. After everyone separated, she met several groups of villagers.

So, before she even entered the house, her grandparents received the letter and came out to greet her.

Her eldest uncle and his wife, oh no, he was holding a naked baby, so they were a family of three, and they also came to pick her up.

Shen Xiaoye was welcomed into the house like the moon surrounded by stars. The cloths drying around her swayed in the wind, as if they were trying to see who she was.

After simply washing their faces, the family gathered in the main room to talk. She saw that her grandfather's hair had turned completely white, but he still looked energetic, so she resisted asking any questions.

There was no end to the private conversation. After eating some of the jelly made by her uncle, Shen Xiaoye told her family that she would go to the provincial capital as soon as possible and explained the reason.

Grandma was the first to agree. "Let your grandpa." She paused for a moment, remembering something, and then said, "Let your grandpa help you harness the cart. Let's go now."

With the strong support of the whole family, Shen Xiaoye soon left again riding the family's donkey, followed by his uncle Shen Changshou riding a mule.

After all, the grandparents did not agree to let their eldest grandson go, so they took a bag of silver and gave it to the eldest son to follow Xiaoye into the city.

Of course, they were destined to not be able to enter the city before the city gates were closed.

When Shen Xiaoye was looking for an inn near the pier outside the city, he unexpectedly met Wu Qiye again, and he was accompanied by Zhao Baihu and other people from the Guard Division.

She looked at several people dressed in ordinary clothes, looking for something along the way.

And when she withdrew her gaze, she saw Mr. Geng and several scholars walking slowly towards the inn she had rented.

Shen Xiaoye had no intention of changing places and walked straight in.

"Xiao Ye, what are you looking at?" When my uncle Shen Changshou goes out, he really keeps his eyes and ears open.

The food and wine provided by this inn seemed good, and there were quite a few guests sitting in the hall enjoying the drinks.

Shen Xiaoye: "I didn't see much, but I thought the pier was lively at night, with lanterns hanging everywhere. I saw a small Taoranju."

"It's from the Tao family. The mark on it is the same." Xuanmiao's reply was simple and clear.

Shen Xiaoye didn't ask any more questions, but followed the waiter to the second floor. Unexpectedly, the moment she went up the stairs, a person rolled down from above and was about to hit her.

Xuanmiao and her uncle tried to pull her away at the same time.

Amidst a lot of exclamations, Shen Xiaoye did not retreat but instead advanced, leaped up and just when she narrowly avoided the attack, she kicked the person who was attacking her.

嘭

The man was without his humanoid shelter and fell heavily to the ground.

Shen Changshou went up and arrested the man and asked the shopkeeper to find officials from the Inspection Office.

The man hissed for a long time before shouting, "Don't report it to the authorities, it was an accident."

Shen Xiaoye recognized him a long time ago: "Mr. Yang, you didn't hesitate to hit me on purpose, which is admirable."

"I told you it was an accident." Young Master Yang was also confused. He really didn't want to roll down the stairs, but someone bumped into him and he couldn't stop rolling down.
