Pastoral little master

Chapter 165 Shen Nan's Explanation

That bad sound was blurted out by Shen Nan

Everyone looks at him.

Everyone has different expressions.

Shen Huairen's face was a little annoyed when the suggestion was rejected by his own son, why does this bastard go against his father everywhere?

Zheng Wanru originally looked at Qiduo expectantly, but unexpectedly heard a discordant voice.

And this voice came from her own son, she was not only annoyed that he went against her will, but also worried that these words would hurt Qi Duo's heart.

"Nan'er, what are you talking about? If Qiduo can be your sister, that would be your blessing, do you know that?" Zheng Wanru glared at Shen Nan, really angry this time.

Shen Nan's answer really made Qiduo a little embarrassed, and she really didn't know how to respond to this question for a while.

At the same time, I'm also a little unhappy, Shen Xiaosan, Shen Xiaosan, I'm so bad, isn't it good enough to be your sister, you despise me like this, it's hateful, hateful.

Being rejected by a child, the self-esteem of an older girl was severely hurt.

And Shen Lin and Shen Bin looked at Shen Nan with a smile on their faces, as if they were watching a drama.

"Yes, Nan'er, sister Qiduo is not only well-behaved, but also so capable and can cook good food. If she becomes our sister, we will be blessed every day. Why don't you agree, eh? "Shen Bin looked at Shen Nan and asked with a smile.

After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Shen Nan and made a mischievous grimace.

"Nan'er, what you said is really unreasonable." Shen Lin also reprimanded softly, but there was a playful smile deep in his eyes.

"Shen Nan, quickly apologize to Qiduo, you have read the book of a sage for nothing, how could you say such rude words." Shen Huairen scolded with a straight face.

Seeing that everyone was targeting Shen Nan, Qiduo couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly said, "Uncle and aunt, the two elder brothers, it's okay, Brother Nan is used to joking with me, don't blame her."

Facing everyone's scorching eyes, Shen Nan's pale face was dyed suspiciously red, his black eyes drooped slightly, and he also realized that he was too impatient and said something wrong.

But in the face of his family's accusations, he was calm and calm, without any fear.

And Qi Duo's protection made the corners of his lips lightly twitch.

He took a deep breath, looked up at the crowd, and said sternly, "Father and mother, you all misunderstood me, Qiduo is now the pillar of the family, and she has to take care of everything big and small. My daughter has become our family, so what about Uncle Tan, Aunt Tan and the others?

We all know that Qiduo is good, but gentlemen are magnanimous and don't take advantage of others. Do you have the heart to see Uncle Tan and Aunt Tan feel uncomfortable?

That's why I opposed my father's proposal. "

This may be the first time he has said so many words in one breath since he was a child.

But with these few words, he immediately evened out his own disadvantages, and at the same time, he also praised Qiduo fiercely.

Shen Huairen and Zheng Wanru immediately exhaled lightly, and their complexions calmed down.

Qiduo's pupils bent down, um, this is not too bad, she saved me some face and came back.

Shen Bin pursed his lips, hum, the brat's mind is spinning really fast.

Shen Lin smiled gently.

Zheng Wanru annoyed Shen Nan, "You child, half-spoken, you are trying to make us angry."

"Mother, I will pay attention to what I say next time." Shen Nan accepted the criticism sincerely.

"Okay, blame me, you shouldn't bring up this abrupt topic.

Nan'er is right, Qiyatou is so good, we want it, but you, Uncle Tan and Aunt Tan, are definitely not willing to part with it, we can only envy her.Hehe, let's eat. "Shen Huairen ended the matter with a smile.

Qiduo hurriedly said some modest words.

This matter is considered to be a thing of the past among joking and laughing, this little episode not only did not spoil everyone's interest, but adjusted the atmosphere more cheerfully.

While eating, everyone told Qiduo that although she could not be the daughter of the Shen family, let her treat this place as her own home, and come over to eat more if she is free, and help make some delicious food so that everyone is full Delicious food.

Qiduo said yes with a smile.

This feeling of being held by everyone is really warm and happy.

Especially Zheng Wanru's doting eyes and smile, it's really not that a mother is better than a mother.

After dinner, Qiduo wanted to help Aunt Li clean up the dishes, but was stopped by Shen Huairen, who called her to Dongji Room and left her to talk.

In the Dongci room, only Shen Huairen, his wife, and Shen Nan's three brothers were chatting in the yard to eat.

In fact, even if Shen Huairen didn't keep Qiduo, she was still planning to stay and talk about buying the wasteland.

Zheng Wanru was the first to ask Qiduo with a smile, "Qiduo, I heard from people in the village that last time your father said in front of everyone that you will be in charge of the house now, is that true?"

Qiduo smiled a little embarrassedly, "My father said so at the time, and you know it too, Auntie."

Zheng Wanru smiled more gently. "Of course, such a good thing, how can I not know."

Then she looked at Shen Huairen and motioned for him to speak.

Shen Huairen nodded slightly, and then said softly to Qi Duo, "Qi girl, your father is courageous, it takes some courage to admit in public that the family is run by a daughter."

Qiduo and Zheng Wan are like laughing.

Shen Huairen continued, "Seventh girl, since you are the head of the house now, I will tell you this matter directly."

"If uncle has something to do, just give orders." Qi Duo hurriedly said.

She found that Shen Huairen's attitude had changed a lot since he had dinner at her home last time, he was gentle and kind, not at all like he used to be a high-ranking official.

Shen Huairen said, "It's like this. Your aunt went to the academy the day before yesterday and told me about the lotus root. It's really not easy to sell the lotus root in Shimutang immediately.

But fortunately, it is not the season for lotus root to be on the market. It is a rare item. It is a coincidence that I have a good friend, Mr. Huang, who is still an official in the court. I'm going to bring some things back to Beijing.

After hearing your aunt's words, I immediately recommended your family's lotus root to Mr. Huang. Mr. Huang agreed, but he asked to check the quality of the lotus root first.Seventh girl, do you have confidence in your lotus root? "

Qi Duo was both surprised and delighted by this news, which was great news.

The sale of lotus root is a major event right now, and they are preparing to make plans these two days. Unexpectedly, Uncle Shen brought good news, which is tantamount to sending charcoal in a timely manner.

At the same time, I can't express my gratitude to Zheng Wanru. She really keeps her own affairs in her heart all the time. This kind of feeling is not something ordinary people can do.

With these people helping me, I have no reason not to work hard, otherwise I will be sorry for everyone's love.

Qiduo's nose twitched, and she hurriedly replied, "Thank you, uncle and aunt, for taking my matter to heart. Don't worry, uncle. I am very confident in the quality of our lotus root."

"Okay, it's good to have confidence. Actually, your aunt brought lotus root over there that day, and I have tasted it a long time ago. With the glutinous rice fire and lotus root you made tonight, I also have confidence." Shen Huairen nodded and smiled.

"Hey, thank you Uncle for cheering me up. By the way, Uncle, I don't know how Master Huang will test the lotus root?" Qi Duo asked with a smile.

Shen Huairen pondered for a while, and said, "How about this, take him to the lotus pond in the next two days, and let him see with his own eyes that these lotus roots are dug out from the mud, they are very fresh."

"Okay, everything will be arranged by uncle and aunt." Qiduo nodded, this matter is easy to handle.

She was thinking, if her own lotus root could catch Mr. Huang's eyes and bring them to the capital, it would be an honor.

"Okay, okay, seventh girl, don't worry, if Mr. Huang approves of your lotus root, then the lotus root will not be sold. I also know some merchants from other places, and I will find a way to contact you for you .” Shen Huairen said again.

"Uncle, aunt, I... I really don't know what to say, but, uncle, don't let our family's affairs affect your serious business, then we will be uneasy." Qiduo's gratitude was really like a flood General flooding.

Zheng Wanru pursed her lips and smiled, "Qiduo, don't worry, your uncle won't do it."

Shen Huairen suddenly thought of Shen Nan's matter, his face was slightly embarrassing, he waved his hands with a smile, and changed the topic.

The three talked about other things about lotus root.

When the topic was over, Qiduo started to mention another serious matter, buying a barren mountain.

She looked at Shen Huairen and Zheng Wanru with some trepidation, worried that her matter would embarrass them.

Unexpectedly, Shen Huairen had a look of joy on his face, and he patted the table happily and said, "Okay, this is a great thing. Madam, Seventh Girl, do you know how many mountains, forests and fields in our Daming Dynasty were abandoned, And how many people have no land and no food, the court has been encouraging the people to open up wasteland.

If all these wastelands are developed and utilized, then everyone will have fields and every family can have enough food.Alas, it's just a pity that something that seems easy, but when it comes to implementation, it's not the case.

Seventh girl, don't worry, my uncle will definitely help you with this matter, absolutely. "

Such a result was beyond Qi Duo's imagination.

Everything went smoothly, and she was in a particularly good mood.

Shen Huairen made an appointment with her to ask her to go to Huairen Academy to find him at the end of tomorrow, and then he would take her to the ancient county magistrate to discuss the matter of buying the barren mountain.

Zheng Wanru told her husband, "Master, Qiduo's family is not that rich and noble. I will see the ancient county magistrate tomorrow. You have to help Qiduo and the others to grasp the price."

"Don't worry, ma'am, I know this well. I will talk about not only the price, but also other things that are beneficial to Qi Yatou." Shen Huairen smiled and broadened Zheng Wanru's heart.

Qiduo thanked the Shen couple with a smile, and seeing that it was late, she got up and said goodbye.

After leaving Dongci, the three Shen Nan brothers were still chatting in the yard.

Qiduo waved goodbye to them.

Shen Nan lifted her robe and stood up, squinted at her, and said, "It's getting dark, I'll take you back."

"No need." Qiduo waved her hands and refused.

But Shen Nan didn't pay attention at all, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard with her hands behind her back.

Shen Bin and Shen Lin suppressed their laughter.

Such an awkward child, Qiduo shook her head, waved to Shen Bin and Shen Lin, and followed with a food box.

The moonlight is bright, and Tanjiazhuang is bathed in the silver-white moonlight, and it looks a bit cold, but the yellow light from the window puts a warm coat on this coldness.

The whole Zhuangzi is warm and peaceful, with a great sense of belonging.

Shen Nan walked in front, Qi Duo followed closely behind, they were silent and did not speak.
