Chapter 18 She Knows Plants, He Knows Hearts

Li Erya, who had no bad intentions, was holding the letterhead sent by Huang Xingye at the moment.

"Are you literate?" Shen Qingrou saw her tear open the envelope, and reached out to grab it.

That person didn't know what An was thinking, but he actually wrote a letter directly to an illiterate country girl. Seeing that she refused to hand over the letterhead, Shen Qingrou felt more and more that there was an ulterior secret in the letter.

Li Erya quickly scanned the contents of the letter while hiding.

Huang Xingye said in the letter that the chicken bone grass was selling well, and other medicinal materials were also in demand. If it wasn't for the business of the shop, he would have liked to come here right away.

However, he guessed that he couldn't get away, and he would probably ask Huang Xingding and the housekeeper to come and write the name of the medicinal materials he wanted to purchase.

Thinking of the Kuzhai dishes she had prepared by the people of Luowan Village and the herbs harvested by Shifeng Village, Li Erya was extremely fortunate that the person who came was Huang Xingding.

It's easy to persuade Huang Xingding about Kuzhai Cai, but it may not be so easy to pass herbs. It seems that she also needs to have a good understanding of the market of medicinal materials.

Mrs. Shen on the side stared at her with a strange expression. She didn't look like she couldn't understand the letter just now, and she didn't know if she was secretly learning to read.

It's unlikely that what she learned secretly when she came back could make her read two pages of letter paper, Madam Shen suppressed the suspicion that suddenly popped up in her heart.

However, what made her even more suspicious was that Li Erya asked Shen Muyin to help read the contents of the letter. Although there was nothing wrong with the letter, she still couldn't help telling Shen Nanzhou her doubts.

"I think she is a smart child. Since she married into our Shen family, she should be allowed to read and write." Shen Nanzhou thought for a while, and then said.

"How is she smart? She doesn't have any eyesight at all, and she is always against me. You say she is smart." Mrs. Shen, who never refuted him, didn't think Li Erya was smart.

"Are you sure she really doesn't understand or understand?" Shen Nanzhou asked suddenly.

Mrs. Shen's heart skipped a beat. She had long thought that she did it on purpose, but she didn't want to admit that she had misjudged her, so she stopped talking.

Shen Nanzhou shook his head, even he occasionally had the idea that Li Erya had already grasped them, and he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

But it was a good thing that magistrate Sun visited them, he was a distinguished guest, Shen Nanzhou hoped to learn something about the court from him.

They were originally descendants of the Shen family, and basically did not communicate with the family after being demoted. If he wanted to know something, he could only ask it from his old friends.

He only made friends with magistrate Sun when he was demoted here, and the relationship is not considered close, after all, the two have very different temperaments, one is informal and the other is cautious.

No, Shen Nanzhou was still thinking about finding an opportunity to inquire about the news, and the county magistrate Sun couldn't wait to show off the case he had tried.

Shen Nanzhou was amused when he heard that this was Huang Xingye's case, so he said with a smile, "What's the difficulty? I can also bring the big rooster back to life, and I can also make him stop as soon as he wants."

"You know?" County Magistrate Sun looked at him suspiciously.

"Muci, go, show off to County Magistrate Sun." Shen Nanzhou said with a smile, secretly glad that the Huang family brothers came to the right place, otherwise they would lose face in front of him today and be teased for a while.

Shen Muci responded, and as soon as he turned around, he heard County Magistrate Sun exaggerating that his younger brother was good-looking, he looked smart, and he would have a bright future in the future, just like his father.

My heart felt sour for no reason, isn't he worthy of a bright future?

Until he showed his hand, County Magistrate Sun asked who discovered the secret, Shen Muci looked at his father.

Shen Nanzhou smiled and said that his family discovered it by accident. If it was said that their grandfather Sun County Magistrate would not believe it, he was still a little self-aware.

"It must have been discovered by your icy and smart daughter." County magistrate Sun took a look at Shen Qingrou and praised again.

Shen Nanzhou smiled, neither admitted nor denied, and asked his daughter to go down to prepare meals.

Shen Qingrou lowered her head and slowly backed out.

The joyful scene came to an abrupt end when Li Erya came back.

Li Erya looked at the crowd in bewilderment, and sorted out the collected herbs on her own.

Madam Shen frowned and asked Shen Qingrou to call her into the kitchen.

Shen Qingrou reluctantly walked to Li Erya's side, "Mother called you."

"Oh." Li Erya replied, and hurriedly packed the herbs before entering the kitchen, and upon entering, she found that the expressions on their faces were not very good-looking.

She didn't do anything wrong, it wasn't just that there were guests at home, and a carriage was parked outside. The coachman didn't look like someone from a carriage dealer, but he seemed to be a person of some status.

Soon Mrs. Shen reminded her that the person who came was the county magistrate, and told her to keep her mouth shut.

"Oh." Li Erya still responded lightly. She glanced at it from a distance when she entered the city that time, and she didn't recognize the county magistrate without his official uniform.

"Mother, look at her, you get angry when you see her like this." Shen Qingrou said bitterly.

The most embarrassing thing about the Shen family was being forced to let Mu Yin marry her. She was too embarrassed to say that Li Erya would be her sister-in-law in the future, and she wished that this ridiculous marriage would be over as soon as possible.

What Shen Qingrou said was for her, but Li Erya pretended not to hear it.

Even if she was willing to abdicate, Shen Nanzhou would definitely not agree. After all, without a legitimate reason, he would not let Shen Muyin do such a disgraceful thing as divorce his wife.

The Shen family was sweet to them, but to her it was a cage that she wished to jump out of immediately.

She understands grass and trees, he understands people's hearts, they are not suitable, but Shen Muyin has a prosperous official career, she still has to hug her thighs, she has taken advantage of the power of the Shen family, so she doesn't want to make too ugly a fight with Mrs. Shen and Shen Qingrou.

Inside the house, Shen Nanzhou had already explained her identity to County Magistrate Sun. With Su Yue in front, it seemed that it would not be so difficult to talk about Li Erya's identity this time.

County Magistrate Sun didn't make fun of him, but instead praised Shen Muyin. If he had a daughter, he would probably snatch her daughter's husband and son-in-law, "It's a pity, my wife's children are all boys."

Being teased again, Shen Mu blushed faintly.

And Shen Muci had a polite and awkward smile on his face: Another day of being ignored.

On the other hand, Shen Nanzhou, with the usual expression, changed the subject to chat about something else.

Going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, County Magistrate Sun stopped teasing Shen Muyin, and directly talked about a case that made him quite embarrassed.

Two couples robbed a three-year-old child, and both said the child belonged to them.

One family said that the child fell into the river. They thought the child was dead, but they did not expect to be snatched by them. The other family firmly denied that the child was picked up, and the child only recognized them as parents.

Both parties have witnesses, and the case is not easy to judge. He was dragged for a day and was urged for a day, so he came to see if he could do anything.

Originally, he didn't have much confidence, but seeing that they knew the secret of Huang Xingye's case, County Magistrate Sun regarded Shen Nanzhou as a lifeline.
