Shen Xiao and the others felt relieved and hurried forward to pick him up.
Others also followed, asking questions all over the place.
However, today's encounter in the city made the three Shen brothers feel uncomfortable. After a few words, they distributed things to each family and then returned to the Shen family's house.
Naturally, the Wu family had already noticed that something was wrong with them, but for now they had better pack up the things they bought and let them eat later.
"Sister Qian, go call Cheng San and Cheng Yun over for dinner." Mrs. Lin shouted from the small outside room that served as the kitchen.
Shen Qingqian agreed and walked to the next door.
She was also quite curious about what happened to them in the city today.
After calling Sheng Ze and Ling Yun, Shen Qingqian gently pulled off Ling Yun's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Brother Cheng Yun, what happened to you in the city today?"
Hearing this, Sheng Ze turned around and looked at Shen Qingqian's hand holding Ling Yun's sleeve. Then he raised his eyes and looked at Ling Yun lightly.
Ling Yun was secretly excited, "You little girl, why are you asking so many questions? Go and eat quickly."
After he said this, he ran into Shen's house quickly.
Ouch, the master’s eyes are too scary!
But the master won't really... Wouldn't that be even worse?
No, no, the master is not that kind of person, he must have gone astray!
Shen Qingqian was a little confused. What happened to Chengyun? Why don't you just ask him something? How about hiding it like this?
"Brother Cheng San, don't you think that a little girl like me can't know these things?" After this, Shen Qingqian's tone when talking to Shengze became a bit fierce.
Sheng Ze stared at Shen Qingqian without blinking.
At this time, she puffed out her cheeks slightly, her eyes were full of dissatisfaction, and her eyebrows wanted to stand up but didn't. Her fierce and cute look was so cute.
"Okay, three! You dare to say 'no' and try it!" Seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, Shen Qingqian suddenly became angry and glared at Shengze hard.
Shengze suddenly came back to his senses, looked away uncomfortably, put his fist to his lips, coughed lightly and said: "No, no, what happened today is not something extraordinary, it's just that something went wrong when exchanging the silver..."
He explained the whole story clearly in a few words, but Shen Qingqian became more and more silent.
She had always known that being a prisoner was difficult, but she didn't know that it had become this difficult.
"Miss Six is smart, and after thinking about it, she also knows that this matter will not happen in three or two days. The only thing we can do now is to wait for the opportunity." Sheng Ze saw her frown and subconsciously wanted to smooth it out.
But he only moved his fingers and quickly put his hands behind his back.
Shen Qingqian suddenly sighed, "You are right, we have to find a way to get rid of this identity."
As long as they remain prisoners, they will never think about the word "future."
Shengze opened his mouth, wanting to tell her that maybe they would be able to get rid of her soon, but at this time he was not qualified to say this.
After dinner, after Shengze and Ling Yun left, Shen Jun vaguely told Wu and others about the matter.
The Shen family are all smart. Although Shen Jun didn't say it explicitly, they had some guesses.
Wu sighed: "Forget it, just change as little as possible. Get over this period first, and then think of a solution later."
Six gold leaves and one gold piece were exchanged for a total of forty-four taels of silver. Today's purchase alone cost more than a dozen taels.
That's it, I still haven't bought winter clothes for my family, I haven't planned new shoes for everyone, and I haven't bought all kinds of things that I lack at home. I only bought food and a few things that are in short supply.
Fortunately, the brothers got a lot of game in the mountains during their exile. They were more economical and didn't need to buy meat this winter.
But if you have children at home, you have to buy some fine grain. Adults can still make do with whole grains, but whole grains are not cheap in today's dry weather.
"Auntie, I still have some things here. Let me give them to you first." Shen Qingqian suddenly said.
