Chapter 133 Too eye-catching
September is a cool and refreshing month, and it is the harvest season. As soon as Shen Lingzhu's drunken date plan was implemented, it received strong support from her aunt.
Because brewed drunken dates is a famous product of her hometown, but in recent years, she has lived in Beijing and everything is expensive, so she dare not brew it.
Now that the situation at home has improved, it would be nice to make more and give them as gifts during the New Year.
So a few days later, Shen Lingzhu went to Xia Liu to buy dates again. When this matter reached the ears of Third Grandma and others, it was an outrage, and they all came to complain.
He just started to attack Shen Huai, saying that most of his family members and relatives were brave enough, so why bother looking for someone else far away?
What a little bamboo! It's so young that it's hard to tell how close or distant it is.
Shen Huai could accept the first sentence humbly, but he got up and drove away the person who slandered Xiao Zhuzi with the second sentence, and also forcibly sent away the people who brought them with them.
However, he underestimated the desire of his tribesmen to make money. It can be said that throughout September, many people asked him to go and see the dates and came directly to give them to him.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the fresh dates brought by most people are of good quality.
What was even more gratifying was that Master Shen Shijiu once again returned with a full load. She encouraged Shen Lingzhu, saying, "It's very fun out there. You can enjoy calligraphy and paintings by different masters in bookstores in different counties.
You should read more and learn more, so that you can broaden your horizons and write with inspiration."
"Aunt Nineteen, today is September 16th. In ten days, it will be my younger brother and sister's full moon banquet.
Are you sure you want me to leave now?" Shen Lingzhu asked this, and Shen Shijiu was immediately stuck.
Her current trip began in late August and lasted for about half a month. "I can't, and I can't leave anymore."
Ten days is definitely not enough for her round trip. "By the way, have you heard from your seventh uncle and ninth uncle?"
"Yes, this time they took a different route and entered Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi Province from Shunde. Uncle Qi simply went straight into the prefecture.
I'll go back to sell the goods and it will take another three or four days to get home." To be on the safe side, the two sides can exchange letters every three days.
The address and recipient of the letter were all written with the uncle's name, and he would deliver it to the private letter post office.
Shen Lingzhu estimated that Uncle Seven's gains along the way should be more than Aunt Nineteen's 224 taels.
And they didn't have to pay anything extra, they could just take 20%, totaling more than 40 taels.
Well, if you calculate it this way, Nineteenth Aunt will get more than one hundred taels, and she will definitely have to give more as a gift to herself when she gets married.
As soon as she thought of it, she asked, "Nineteenth Aunt, the weather is not too cold now, have you considered asking Mr. to renovate the wedding room?"
"No, no, no, it's too eye-catching. Let's wait until next year..." Shen Shijiu was still holding the word "Gai" in his mouth when there was a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds.
Shen Lingzhu originally thought that it was a soldier who came to learn first aid from his senior sister, but he never expected that the next moment his ninth uncle Shen Xiao would rush into the house riding a donkey.
Moreover, he was tied to the back of a donkey, and the mud on his body made him look like a dirty man.
"Dad." Shen Jianzhu, who was in the shed in the yard, ran over when everyone was trying to untie her father.
"He's fine, just too tired." Shen Lingzhu was pushed away by everyone and turned around to pull up the fallen Jian Zhu to comfort him.
The latter said, "Xiao Zhuzi, Uncle Qi's letter said it would take a few more days.
"Hey, my father didn't get hurt, did he? Did he meet a strong man?"
Shen Lingzhu didn't ask Uncle Jiu for details, so she couldn't answer. By the time she knew the exact situation, it was more than a quarter of an hour later.
Third uncle Shen Du said, "I'll go check on Old Seven. Song Zhu and Xian Zhu don't need to go."
"No, let Xianzhu take my letter." Shen Huai didn't want to add another brother. People feel despised when they leave their hometown.
My seventh brother sold blueprints of a bellows rocking chair and made a lot of money. In his joy, he inevitably spent it with excessive pride, as some poor people do when they suddenly become rich.
Then, as expected, he was targeted by someone. When the other party failed to seize the blueprints, they set up a trap for him and he is now imprisoned in the Pingyang government office.
Shen Lingzhu asked, "Uncle, you haven't been in touch with your former classmate for a long time. Is he still in the local government office?"
"We have to go and see whether he is there or not. Xia Xing is young after all, and he can't take care of your seventh uncle over there alone." Shen Huai wanted to go by himself, but it was impossible.
Shen Shijiu said at this time: "Let's not talk about anything else, we have to prepare the silver first.
Take my share, Fifth Brother, and use it all for emergencies."
Shen Huai did not refuse and said, "Brother Huang, I'll ask you to take care of Zhu along the way."
Uncle Huang Zongqi would naturally not refuse. After receiving the news, he said goodbye to the brothers who had escorted him to the capital city last time and set off tomorrow.
"Uncle, I'm going too." Shen Lingzhu raised his hand and emphasized his advantages. Sometimes children make people defenseless and can find out information unexpectedly.
"And I can help Xiao Zhuzi save Dad." Xiao Shan stood up from beside his grandparents.
Second Grandma pushed him down: "Nonsense."
Her son was in trouble, and she couldn't involve her grandson. She glanced at the old man and her eldest son.
Second grandfather Shen Dexian said: "Big brother, stay home and take good care of your mother and nephew.
Xianzhu and I will get ready and leave as soon as possible." After saying this, he stood up and left.
Shen Huai chased out: "Second uncle..."
The second grandfather's family all stood up in the room, and Shen Xianzhu also stood up to comfort them and sent them out.
Seeing that no one agreed to let her go, Shen Lingzhu turned around and went to discuss with her senior sister.
"Little Zhuzi, don't make trouble." Grandma would definitely not allow her to go.
When Shen Lingzhu was about to make excuses, Senior Sister Shen Miaozhu said, "Grandma, don't worry. I'll go talk to her. Can you help us check on our aunt?"
"Well, just stay at home and behave yourself." Grandma warned Shen Lingzhu, and then told her son to go home quickly to arrange for people, and then moved to the east room to find Hu.
With the departure of Second Grandma and her family, only Shen Lingzhu and her sister, Uncle Nine's family, and Xia Wang were left in the hall.
He said, "I'll go home and tell Dad that we'll leave tomorrow."
"Brother Erwang." This time it was Shen Lingzhu who stopped him from going with them. It was enough for Xia Xing to be there, there was no need to add another male member of the Xia family.
Xia Wang didn't try to argue, he just bowed and left.
