Chapter 187 Coming from afar
On the fifteenth day of the ninth lunar month, the slight chill urges people to put on layers of brocade and heavy autumn clothes.

Those with some spare money at home went to Caishikou to buy high-quality and cheap pork leg meat, which was used to marinate bacon.

Aunts and aunts can be seen everywhere on the street, talking and laughing, filling sausages.

Shen Xian leaned against the window, looking at the busy crowd, only then did he realize that there are still two months left before the Chinese New Year.

Zhao Shun squeezed the space between his eyebrows, put down the book in his hand, and looked at the slender daughter-in-law in front of the window, seeing a touch of nostalgia on her face.

Shen Xian silently sighed in his heart, and then heard Zhao Shun's footsteps gradually, his warm and powerful chest pressed against her back, and hugged her gently.

"Miss, are you homesick?"

Shen Xian turned around, pressed his head against his heart, and shook his head lightly.

"A place with you is home, what can I say to be homesick?"

After pondering, Shen Xian was also a little uncertain about his thoughts, and added: "It's just that I don't know why, but I feel empty in my heart."

Caressing Shen Xian's hair, Zhao Shun slowed down his voice and said softly: "People are like weeds, where they take root, they grow there, and when they are suddenly moved to other places, it is inevitable that they will not adapt to the environment."

Shen Xian rubbed his head against his chest, and said slowly: "It's true, when we get to the capital and buy our own house, maybe we will feel at ease."

Zhao Shun counted the days in his mind, and many days had passed since Chuanxin Yongle County, logically speaking, Yuechan should also come.

Just as he was thinking, there was a voice looking left and right on the street on the window sill, holding a piece of letter paper as if he was looking for something.

There was a light mist in the air, covering Zhao Shun's sight. He leaned forward slightly, squinting his eyes so that he could see clearly.

Sensing his movement, Shen Xian looked up, then followed his line of sight, and saw the familiar figure at a glance.

"Yuechan, it's Yuechan!"

Although it was his maidservant who came, Shen Xian still had a kind of joy in his heart of encountering an old friend in a foreign land, so he patted the window and waved repeatedly.

"Yuechan! We are here!"

Yuechan was searching in a daze, when she heard Shen Xian's voice, she looked around, and then saw her on the second floor of the inn.

Waving her hand excitedly, Yuechan turned her head and ran back.

Shen Xian was slightly taken aback, "Why did she run away?"

When the husband and wife were uncertain, Yuechan came running back with two people behind her, both carrying their bags.

Shen Xian saw who was coming, and was very surprised in his heart, how come the Niu family brothers and sisters also came.

Before he had time to think about it, Shen Xian pulled Zhao Shun downstairs to greet him.

Although it was only half a month since he left Yongle County, seeing Niu Yu and Niu Lei at this moment, Shen Xian felt very cordial in his heart.

Greeting the brothers and sisters of the Niu family and Yuechan upstairs, Shen Xian quickly asked: "Why are you here? Is the shop at home closed?"

Niu Yu chuckled and said, "We left the shop to Erwa to take care of it, and plan to go to the capital with you."

Upon hearing this, both Shen Xian and Zhao Shun were deeply puzzled.

"But after going to the capital, you don't have to start from the beginning, and the journey is tiring, why do you bother yourself."

Hearing Shen Xian's worried tone, Niu Yu shook her head indifferently, she looked at Shen Xian and Zhao Shun with a very sincere expression.

"My brother and I discussed it. You don't have any acquaintances when you go to the capital, and you don't even have a friend to eat and drink when you sneak in, so we decided to accompany you to the capital."

As soon as the words fell, Niu Lei also answered: "That is, the four of us are always together wherever we go, and there is also a support. Sister Shen, don't worry about us. Yongle County is not our hometown. It is still in the capital. For It’s the same for us.”

Hearing the words of the two brothers and sisters, Shen Xian was happy in his heart, but also worried for them, going to the capital is very dangerous, if one day there is a disaster, it is best not to implicate them.

Seeing that Shen Xian was preoccupied, Zhao Shun knew what was on her mind.

"Lady, since you're here, let's settle down."

Shen Xian nodded slowly, the future is also uncertain, it's useless to think too much.

"Since you're all here, I won't persuade you any more. We'll go to the capital together and open a barbecue restaurant in the capital, so that the people of the capital can see it too."

Niu Yu smiled smugly, "Don't worry, Sister Shen, my barbecue level is now a master."

Sitting beside him, Niu Lei said in a low voice, "Self-appointed."

Seeing his brother tearing things apart, Niu Yu gave him a hard twist.

Seeing that they had finished speaking, Yuechan took out two letters from her bag and placed them in front of Shen Xian and Zhao Shun.

"Master, madam, this is the reply letter from Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Xu."

After receiving the letters, Zhao Shun and Shen Xian each opened the envelopes and read the letters.

The contents of Jiang Huan's letter were mostly messages and exhortations, which made Zhao Shun feel a lot.

As for Xu Wanqing's letter, Shen Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the letter, Mrs. Xu expressed Shen Xian's resentment and dissatisfaction for not sending her a letter.

Covering her mouth and snickering a few times, Shen Xian planned to make good compensations to Xu Wanqing when she went back to the countryside next time.

After putting away the letters, the time came to noon, and the sun in the sky gradually dispelled the mist, revealing the fine weather with no clouds in the sky.

Shen Xian's calf dangled under the table, feeling very good, "Okay, you are far away from the state capital, we are not in a hurry to leave, you put your bags away, I will take you to eat local specialties."

As soon as Niu Yu heard that there was something delicious to eat, Niu Yu quickly stuffed his bags into the cabinet and said happily, "I'm ready, let's go!"

Seeing her in such a rush, Shen Xian stood up with a light smile, and led a group of people downstairs, preparing to go to the Zhenxiu Pavilion.

Just after leaving the entrance of the inn, the mahogany carriage stopped.

Gu Hanlin raised the curtain of the car and said in an unquestionable tone: "Follow me into Beijing tomorrow, and make good preparations today."

Such an orderly tone made Shen Xian feel very uncomfortable. If she hadn't taken care of Gu Lanshu, she would not have wanted to pay attention to Gu Hanlin.

Xu Xufu gave a salute, Shen Xian showed a polite smile, "Thank you, Lord Hanlin, for your kindness, but we have a lot of people going to Beijing, so we plan to go on our own way."

Gu Hanlin glanced over the Niu brothers and sisters indifferently, his eyes showing disdain.

"They're all common people, so don't associate with them in the future."

After finishing speaking, Gu Hanlin put down the curtain, and the carriage drove slowly.

Niu Yu was so angry that if he hadn't seen Gu Hanlin wearing an official uniform, he would have gone up and slapped him a long time ago.

Listening to Gu Hanlin's tone, Niu Lei seemed to have an unusual relationship with Shen Xian, and then asked, "Sister Shen, why did this person come to Beijing with you?"

Secretly scolding Gu Hanlin in his heart, Shen Xian said helplessly: "Let's find a restaurant and talk while eating."
