Chapter 156 I Want to
The so-called wife of a general guarding the country is actually a descending title of nobility among the royal family members.
The waiter's voice was even lower: "She is a girl from the Duke Zhong's Mansion in the capital."
"Can the daughter of a duke marry a general who protects the country?" Except for the crown prince, the sons of the prince who do not inherit the throne are appointed as generals who protect the country.
The waiter looked around and saw that the boss was talking to the girl's family and no one was paying attention. He said, "The prince has been ill for a long time and has no children.
And the one who married in wasn’t a daughter but a niece.”
Shen Lingzhu understood that once the Crown Prince was gone, his brothers who were granted titles to protect the country might be made Crown Princes and inherit the throne of the Prince in the future.
But Shi Wu definitely couldn't have come to see his niece. Someone from the Shi family was working in Bingzhou, so he could have met his niece and her husband in his own house.
As she thought of this, she couldn't help but look towards the shop opposite, and in a moment she saw Shi Wu coming out again.
Shen Lingzhu was startled and turned around to call her uncle, but she saw him following her eldest brother and talking to the owner.
So she turned her gaze to the old soldier Li who was a little further away from the others.
The latter smiled at her and walked over slowly: "Miss Shen, what's the matter?"
"Yeah." Shen Lingzhu stood at the door with him and asked him to chase Shi Wu.
Fortunately, the other party had not yet walked out of the street, and Li Laojunhu caught up with him not far away.
After Shen Lingzhu saw the two people turn into another street, she retreated into the store. She didn't know why she had to stare at Shi Wu. Could it be that because she didn't beat him up, she was confused.
"Third sister." Shen Xianzhu was always paying attention to his sister's movements. When he saw her step out of the door and then walk back, Grandpa Li was missing.
He walked quickly over and saw the shop opposite. He couldn't help but frowned: "Is it..."
"Yes, I'll ask Grandpa Li to take a look." Shen Lingzhu knew that it was inconvenient for him to finish speaking, so he took the initiative to explain the reason.
Shen Xianzhu had a headache: "You, we will leave soon."
"No impact." Shen Lingzhu always felt that there was something fishy about the shop opposite.
She even guessed that there was a tunnel in the inner room connecting to other places.
But the present matter is more urgent. "How did the discussion go? Shall we go pick up the goods now?"
"Let's go now. I don't have enough money on me." When buying furs, Shen Xianzhu had already spent the silver notes he brought with him, and the rest was given to his seventh uncle to buy wine.
Shen Lingzhu had already taken out the banknotes from her clothes last night. "I have them all, but I have to keep some for travel expenses."
Shen Xianzhu nodded and said, "Let's go with them to the warehouse to get the goods. Don't look for them here again."
Shen Lingzhu didn't answer, but she followed her elder brother and uncle obediently, and listened to the owner talk about the tips for choosing inkstones in the warehouse.
After an afternoon of selection, they bought a lot of inkstones and pens. When they returned to the inn, Shen He also bought the wine filled in the water bag as he wished.
Moreover, he also put the expensive ones into dozens of bamboo tubes.
"I will pack these and keep an eye on them to prevent them from getting knocked into each other." According to Shen He's original idea, if there weren't so many tax cards along the way, he would have preferred to put them all in the bamboo tube to better ensure the taste of the wine.
Shen Xianzhu said: "Wrap it with a blanket. We did the same when we came here."
While he was still proposing what kind of wooden box to use, Li Laojunhu came back.
"Grandpa Li, I have something to talk to you about." Shen Xianzhu naturally didn't want others to know more, so he invited the old soldier to the room alone.
Shen Lingzhu followed in and heard Li Laojunhu say, "After he left, he went straight out of the city and was met by seven or eight guards at a farmer's house.
I watched for a while, and seeing that they didn't go out again, I quickly came back to report the news."
The old soldier had seen Shi Wulang in the capital before. He said, "Miss Shen, they are very alert. I'm worried that I won't be able to keep a close eye on them tomorrow when they are together."
"No need, no need." Shen Lingzhu waved her hands repeatedly, "I just felt a little strange when I saw him.
Grandpa Li, you are not just a cook, right? "
"Haha, I am our old master's personal soldier, and I have been following him ever since.
After that…” The old military household’s smile faded. The two captains he served with both died young.
Leaving behind a young master who is still unmarried at the age of over 20, alas.
Chen Ru, who was unmarried, was particularly interested in the Shen family's medicinal wine. When the agreed time came, he personally sent three of his men to learn from them.
Well, the story of Monkey King’s journey to the West has been very popular in teahouses recently. It is better than some of the folk tales he had heard before.
Today, Shen Huai happened to be at home. He was polite to Chen Qianhu, but actually wanted Chen Ru to leave his house immediately.
But this guy not only pretended not to understand the subtext, but also followed his niece closely, as if he wanted to learn it all in one go.
No matter how unhappy Shen Huai was, he had to stare at her. At this moment, he missed Xiao Zhuzi especially.
If Xiao Zhuzi were here, he could directly slap his demands in other people's faces.
Especially after Chen Ru had been away for three consecutive days and received letters from the two children at home, Shen Huai was even more eager to have the two children by his side.
Shen Lingzhu and his friends spent the past few days touring almost all of Bingzhou City. Whenever they came across something good, they would pick out one or two even if they couldn't buy a lot.
As for Shi Wulang, Shen Lingzhu had long forgotten him.
What’s interesting is that when Mr. Han was escorted away and several of their cars were following far behind, Shi Wulang, riding a fast horse, passed by.
Shen Lingzhu frowned: "Isn't he afraid that Mr. Han will recognize him?"
"Mr. Han can't be recognized because he is sick and has no energy." Shen Xianzhu was quite convinced by Zhang Tongzhi's arrangement. With them around, Mr. Han would be properly taken care of if he had a headache or fever.
There was no other reason. The escort personnel received wine and food from his sister and uncle on the way. They became familiar with them within a day and tacitly allowed them to approach Mr. Han.
"And Shi Wu will be even less likely to notice us." It was because the mountain roads were getting colder in October, so most of them used cloth towels to wrap their heads and faces to keep warm and prevent the wind.
The wind here is really dusty, and people are covered in dust after a day of wind.
Of course, Shi Wulang and his group also covered their faces, but they were recognized by Li Laojunhu.
However, when they arrived at the inn and were delivering medicine to Mr. Han who was staying at the post station, they met Shi Wulang again.
This time, everyone saw each other clearly, and Shi Wulang no longer had the energy to deliberately find fault like he did when they first met.
Instead, he squinted at the brother and sister for a while before returning to his room.
As soon as he entered the room, he kicked over his guard without saying a word: "That little girl, why is she still in front of me?
You were told to throw her to the south, but she appeared in the northwest."
His guard stood up and knelt down to admit his mistake: "Sir, this subordinate..."
"Go, throw her far away from me, don't let her get in the way." Logically, Shi Wulang shouldn't remember the child Shen Lingzhu, just like he didn't remember Shen Xianzhu who was beside her.
But it was Shen Lingzhu who made him lose face and run away. Even though he was relying on someone else's power, he still hated her to the core.
"Sir, she is following Han Yongxi." The guard reminded.
