Chapter 104 People coming from Zhongdu

Shen family.

 After the banquet was over, the second house and his family were sitting in the yard. The wind was a bit cold and could not cool the Shen family's hot hearts.

"It's good to move out of the old house, and the lights can be turned off whenever you want. It's really good." Li Xiuniang said cheerfully, as if she was happy.

In the old house, if you put out the oil lamp late, you will be scolded by the old lady at the top of your lungs. From now on, you don't have to look at the old lady's face for anything you do.

Shen Nian doesn't have such worries, she is at ease wherever she is.

"Mom is just too easy to bully. If you are more powerful, she won't dare to speak."

Li Xiuniang was not angry when her daughter laughed at her, "The word filial piety is like a knife on the head, I dare to be 'powerful', and the bad reputation of our family will spread throughout the village the next day."

Shen Nian believed in fists and had no fear at all. He said, "Whoever dares to spread bad words can just hit him back."

"…" Li Xiuniang wanted to sigh, "There are so many mouths to open, how can we beat them."

 The girl's family still thinks too simply.

Shen Nian disagreed.

If you can't beat them, you can kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!

The Shen family didn't know the dangerous thoughts in Shen Nian's mind.

Shen Qian was very happy because he finally no longer lived in the same house with his stinky brother.

"Shen Kun, I never told you that your socks are really smelly, so… you should wash them often."

Shen Kun's smile froze on his face.

　　　…"

The gaze that fell on him was as real as day, and the young man just wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

 He couldn't accept the slander and turned to look at his brother.

　　　Brother Man was very stressed by being looked at. He was silent for a moment and puffed his face, "Second brother's socks are really smelly."

Shen Kun: "!!"

 There is nothing to love in life.

"Pfft!" Shen Nian couldn't help but laugh.

 Then he looked at the second brother with accusing eyes.

She said: "Second brother, it's okay. Anyway, no matter how stinky you are in the same room alone, it won't stink as much as eldest brother and brother Man. If no one smells it, it means it doesn't stink."

"…Are you comforting me?" Shen Kun blushed and asked in confusion.

Shen Nian blinked and nodded.

Shen Kun: "Thank you, I really don't need this kind of comfort."

 It is better not to comfort me, I want to cry!

-

 After tidying up the new house, Shen Nian began to practice papermaking.

She has never done it before, so she is afraid it will take a few more tries before she can succeed.

But she's not afraid, she has plenty of time anyway.

On this day, Shen Nian was soaking mashed bamboo in lime water in preparation for papermaking.

 The process of making paper is not that simple. The first step of soaking takes several months.

 Start soaking now, and the next step of the process will not be carried out until April of the following year.

 It's very troublesome.

While she was doing this, Brother Man brought news that someone was looking for her.

After Shen Nian heard about it, he washed his hands and walked to the door.

What came was a group of people who had traveled a lot.

 The leader is a sturdy middle-aged man.

 Wearing shorts, his eyes are as cold and stern as the eyes of an eagle, and his aura is extraordinary.

Coupled with the fact that there were several extraordinary-looking people behind them, the Shen family was made to feel anxious.

Shen Er cupped his hands and stepped forward, "I wonder what you guys want to do with my daughter?"

The leading man calmed down his momentum and returned the greeting, "We are from the Jiang Mansion in Zhongdu, and we are here to deliver New Year's gifts to Miss Shen."

You're not looking for trouble, Shen Er's tense nerves relaxed.

At this moment, Shen Nian, who learned the news, left the house.

She has very good ears and heard what the muscular man said about Jiang Mansion from a distance.

"Is it from Sister Jiang?" The strong man's cold eyes shot towards Shen Nian, but he quickly looked back in just one second.

He bowed his hand politely and said, "Not only did my young lady give it to me, but also Mrs. Jiang gave it to me."

 "Why would Mrs. Jiang give me something?" Shen Nian asked curiously.

The strong man didn't hide anything and said bluntly: "Strengthening pills."

Shen Nian understood, but she didn't expect to be able to help so quickly. She smiled and said: "It's very useful, isn't it?"

Without waiting for an answer, he said proudly: "Nothing I give you will be bad."

  The medicinal materials used in the body-building pills are all cultivated by her, and the effects are incredible.

In Zhongdu, where everyone wears a mask, I have never seen anyone talking like this. The people sent by the Jiang family to give gifts didn't know what expressions were appropriate.

Shen Nian didn't pay much attention and looked at the boxes in the car excitedly, "Are these gifts from Sister Jiang?"

The girl's eyes were shining, extremely bright and pure.

In just a moment, the person who delivered the things clearly saw that this girl was not a scheming person, and he suddenly knew something.

"Yes, it's all for you." The strong man's expression softened a lot.

Shen Nian's smile became brighter and brighter, and he ordered very naturally, "Thank Sister Jiang for me, and move in."

The group of people moved the things in without saying a word.

 After finishing the work, the people sent by the Jiang family to deliver gifts were in a hurry to return to Zhongdu and immediately said goodbye to the Shen family.

 "So urgent?" Shen Nian said.

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are a lot of things at home, so I want to go home early." The gift-giver replied.

Shen Nian expressed his understanding, "I didn't expect that you are looking forward to the Chinese New Year as much as I am."

 It seems that the Chinese New Year will be very interesting.

 Set off firecrackers, put up Spring Festival couplets, eat dumplings, watch fireworks...all of a sudden I was looking forward to it.

The person who gave the gift to the Jiang family: "..." Is it possible that they were trying to avoid it?

 "Yes, I'm looking forward to it." The group was very cooperative.

 As expected, everyone is the same.

Shen Nian's smile was bright and had a special sense of brightness.

"Wait for me, I have a gift for Sister Jiang."

After saying that, he turned around and went to the backyard.

 There is a patch of land in the backyard, planted with all kinds of flowers that cannot be named.

 The plant that Shen Nian found in the mountains before was also inside.

Going to the backyard, picking up the big flower pot in the corner, Shen Nian quickly came to the main room.

"Sister Jiang is getting married, isn't she? This is the wedding gift I prepared for her. Eleven roses of different colors. You can take it back to her."

 Speaking of this flower, Shen Nian was a little proud.

She cultivated them one by one. The flowering period is long and the vitality is very strong... although it looks bare now.

 But, it's not the flowering period yet.

 Everyone from the Jiang family came to give gifts: ...Where are the flowers?

As if sensing their doubts, Shen Nian said confidently: "It will bloom in May next year, and it can bloom in eleven colors."

 People from the Jiang family: "…"

　　The strong man at the head was silent and said: "...my lady has canceled the marriage, and there will be no wedding."

Shen Nian was stunned, "Canceled the engagement? Why?"

"…" The middle-aged man was stunned by the question and didn't know how to answer.

Shen Nian's mind flashed through the love stories he had heard. His face was full of pity, but his eyes were filled with undisguised curiosity.

"Is it because of personality incompatibility, or the interference of elders, or there is a third person between the two, it cannot be that the man is dead, right?"

The middle-aged man was troubled by the little girl's out-of-the-box thinking. He ordered the people below to pick up the flowerpots and said goodbye on the spot, "It's getting late, we should leave."

Shen Nian hadn't asked enough yet and regretfully stopped talking.

Looking at the group of people holding a pot of flowers, he felt that this gift was a bit shabby compared to the one given by the Jiang family, so he touched the small satchel on his waist.
