Chapter 16 Let Her

Li Xiaocui is one year younger than her, so she didn't expect her to fall in love with Shen Muyin. No wonder, one of the Shen family brothers looks like his father, the other looks like his mother, and Shen Muyin who looks like his father is the prettiest. It can only be said that it is not ugly.

Shen Qingrou also looks like his father, with an outstanding appearance, facing such younger brothers and sisters every day, she doesn't know what Shen Muci feels like.

Perhaps it was the same as when Shen Qingrou teased her that she was thin, dark and short, but in the end she was the one who overtook Shen Muyin. Li Erya didn't want to pay attention to Li Xiaocui who was not up to date.

"Hmph, I'll make you proud." Li Xiaocui said sourly.

Li Erya didn't want to explain and concentrated on looking for herbs. After a while, she noticed something abnormal behind her. Seeing a swarm of bees rushing towards her, she was frightened and told her to run away. She found a place to hide and squatted down to use it The basket protects the head.

When the danger was over, she carefully removed the basket and stood up. Li Erya looked around, saw Li Xiaocui who was stung all over her face, and then looked at the stick not far from her, as if she understood what was going on.

Seeing that she was seriously injured, but she was cursing in anger, she probably wouldn't die for a while, Li Erya took her home after collecting the honey with peace of mind.

"what happened?"

"I'm asking you."

"I, I accidentally poked a honeycomb."

Seeing that she didn't dare to slander herself, Li Erya gave half of the honey to Mrs. Lizheng, told her to take care of Li Xiaocui and left, and heard Mrs. Lizheng cursing from a distance.

When passing by the house, Li Erya went in and sat down for a while, then left in a hurry, the honey in her hand was not given out, such a good thing was in the hands of her parents, she was worried that they would give it all to the child who was not yet full moon.

It's just that Shen Nanzhou and the others probably haven't come back home at this time, it's awkward for her to be alone with Mrs. Shen, and she will be lazy when no one is around.

When the sun was about to set, she hurried home and saw the black face without any surprise.

"I came back quite early today." Mrs. Shen said angrily.

"I'm worried that you will be bored at home by yourself, so go home early." Li Erya took out the honey as if offering a treasure, "It's a good thing I found on the mountain."

"What is this?" Mrs. Shen was so angry again, she had to be blunt to understand?
How can such a person be worthy of her son? In the future, Mu Yin will also take the imperial examination. Thinking of her husband's praise of her youngest son, Mrs. Shen frowned, but she couldn't let her drag her son down.

But the Shen family couldn't divorce her for no reason. With so many worries, Madam Shen naturally couldn't show a good face, but she acted like a normal person, so angry in her heart.

"Honey, I was almost stung because of this, but it's a pity that there are no dates, otherwise we might be able to make something that the emperor can eat." Li Erya grinned.

Madam Shen didn't want to correct her words anymore, she sat on the small stool under the eaves and looked at the setting sun and sighed, then turned to look at the intersection eagerly.

Seeing this, Li Erya put away the honey and went to process the herbs.

This wait was to wait until it was dark, and Mrs. Shen couldn't sit still anymore, she held a lantern and wanted to go a little further to see if they would come back.

Li Erya was worried that something would happen to her, so she could only follow her quickly, but luckily she heard a voice before walking too far.

"Mom, we're back."

Hearing her son's voice, Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and the strength she was holding on gave up, her feet gave way and she almost fell to the ground.

Li Erya quickly helped her up, "Be careful."

"I'm fine, I just tripped over for a while." Mrs. Shen didn't appreciate it, she collected herself, stood up again, and then faced her children and Shen Nanzhou as if nothing had happened.

Li Erya looked at their family and asked about their health, and silently walked in front with a lantern.

It seems that what Shen Muyin meant was that he delayed the time of the big guys and came back so late, but no one else meant to blame him.

Li Erya was thinking about her medicine hoe, so she didn't have the nerve to interrupt them, she glanced at it, reckoned that they still bought it, and didn't look back.

There was a medicinal hoe, but Su Yue half sold it and half gave it away, and Shen Muyin returned all the rest of the money to her.

Li Erya took it subconsciously, seeing that Mrs. Shen seemed dissatisfied again, she hesitated for a while or put it in her pocket.

Shen Qingrou understood Mrs. Shen, and chattered about how Shen Muyin caught a prisoner by mistake and took a tael of silver as a reward.

In fact, the reward was more than one liang of silver, but he was just tipping off the news, so getting one liang of silver is already very good. Seeing Li Erya's ears pricked up, Shen Muyin coughed lightly.

Shen Qingrou still wanted to talk about the new things she saw in the city, but Shen Nanzhou stopped her with her eyes.

It was late at night, Shen Nanzhou told them to pack up and go back to sleep.

Only then did Shen Qingrou calm down reluctantly.

Li Erya seemed to have received a pardon, and hurried back to her room with the medicine hoe.

"The dishes and chopsticks haven't been washed yet." Madam Shen sighed, but she couldn't stop Li Erya's determined steps.

Shen Nanzhou told her not to worry about it, it doesn't matter if she saves it for washing tomorrow.

Mrs. Shen didn't listen to the persuasion, she insisted on washing the dishes before going to bed.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, she moved the basin near Li Erya's room, and began to wash the dishes seriously.

In the room, Li Erya fell asleep with those crisp sounds, and even had a sweet dream. She dreamed that she had returned to that warm little home, cooking delicious food alone.

Dreams are fragile, and when she wakes up with nothing, she can only cook some wild vegetable porridge.

While the others had just woken up, she quickly drank some porridge, took a medicine hoe and a basket, and went up the mountain.

Mrs. Shen didn't catch her again and couldn't help complaining a few words.

"Mother, it's better if she's not at home, and I'll get angry when I see her." Shen Qingrou comforted her.

"Qingrou, here we go again. She will lose face to our Shen family by going out like this." Mrs. Shen frowned, afraid that Shen Nanzhou would listen to her words.

Shen Nanzhou still heard it, walked up to the mother and daughter, was silent for a moment, and smiled at himself, "What face does the Shen family have, let her do it."

Mrs. Shen didn't know why, she didn't realize it until she heard Shen Nanzhou talking about the court affairs, and she felt ashamed. The emperor wanted to suppress the big families, and the Shen family was one of them. My family probably couldn't take care of them.

At the moment when he was demoted, their family might have become an abandoned child. Mrs. Shen asked worriedly, "What will I do if Mu resigns him? Can I still participate in the county examination in the spring of next year?"

"It's okay." Shen Nanzhou said resolutely, they had already reached such a situation, and they had nothing to lose.

Shen Muyin heard it clearly from the side, the emperor oppressed the aristocratic family and disliked courtiers forming cliques, but he still appreciated talented people, but the coming year was not a good time.

Yesterday he tasted the first sweetness after being reborn, and impulsively wrote a letter back to Qidu, fearing that something might happen, he felt a little nervous, and he didn't dare to dissuade him rashly at this moment, lest it backfired.
