Gan Lixin took Shen Cheng, Duan Chengnian, and a few people they brought with them to Shen Zhiyao's village, and then went to her house first to talk to her about the matter.
Shen Zhiyao knew about this when Gan Lixin and the others entered Zhuangzi.
She came out to greet her personally, and when she asked Mrs. Sun to take away the two dogs and opened the door of the mansion, Gan Lixin and his party also arrived at the door of her house.
Shen Zhiyao was about to say hello to Gan Lixin when he saw Shen Cheng and Duan Chengnian next to him, his eyes stern.
Why are they two here?
"Master Gan, Master Shen, and General Duan."
Quickly calming down, Shen Zhiyao called the three of them.
Gan Lixin glanced at the three of them: "Miss Shen, do you all know each other?"
By the way, Miss Shen and the Minister of Industry have the same surname, Shen. Is there any connection?
"We know each other." Shen Zhiyao simply said.
Shen Cheng and Duan Chengnian also didn't expect that the person Gan Lixin brought them to see would be Shen Zhiyao.
So, she made the waterwheel?
They only knew that the waterwheel was the idea of a farmer who had previously made a windmill and discovered a new crop, tomatoes.
The emperor never mentioned the name of this farmer, and he must have nothing to say. Therefore, before Shen Cheng came, although he knew that Shen Zhiyao was in Tongfang County, he did not associate the farmer with Shen Zhiyao at all. .
By the way, shouldn't she be in a village in Tongfang County? Why is she here?
It seemed that a lot had happened to her.
"Miss Shen, we came here today to see the waterwheel." Gan Lixin directly explained the purpose of our visit.
Shen Zhiyao took a step forward, "My lords, please follow me."
After saying this, she took everyone to the waterwheel installation place.
Shen Cheng and Gan Lixin arrived at the stream and intuitively felt the magical effect of the waterwheel.
Thinking of his mission this time, Shen Cheng asked a few questions about the waterwheel, and Shen Zhiyao answered them one by one in a leisurely manner.
After Shen Zhiyao finished answering, Shen Cheng didn't say anything for a while, so she thought he had nothing more to ask.
The next moment, I heard Shen Cheng say:
"Zhiyao, why didn't you send a letter to your family after you left last year?"
Um?
Shen Zhiyao looked at him strangely, what was Shen Cheng going to do? Isn't it just what he wanted if she didn't write a letter and cut off contact with them?
"Master Shen and Miss Shen?"
Before Shen Zhiyao spoke, Gan Lixin looked at them first.
Shen Cheng directly told him that Shen Zhiyao grew up in his family and was exchanged with Shen Mingxue. Of course, according to Shen Cheng, Shen Zhiyao and Shen Mingxue just hugged each other accidentally.
He didn't talk about the shameful thing of being plotted against by his concubine.
"I see." Gan Lixin nodded, surprised that Miss Shen, a farmer, knew so much.
Something is wrong.
Shen Zhiyao had a gut feeling about what Shen Cheng was planning. She rolled her eyes and sighed:
"I once thought about writing a letter, but when I thought about how Master Shen and Mr. Shen treated me at that time... I was afraid that writing a letter would make you unhappy, so I gave up."
Speak half way, leaving room for people to imagine.
"How could that be?" Shen Cheng smiled kindly, "You can write it in the future."
With these words, Shen Cheng, Gan Lixin and their group left Zhuangzi.
With Gan Lixin and the others here, he couldn't talk too much.
After returning to the county government, besides writing about the waterwheel, Shen Cheng also asked people to investigate what Shen Zhiyao was doing in Tongfang County.
And here, Shen Zhiyao met Duan Chengnian when she went to eat at Shen's house on the dock the next day.
She went to Shen's to eat them all because the crayfish she raised in the field a few years ago had grown up. After she had the crayfish fished out, she happened to have something to go to the city, so she drove the donkey cart to deliver the crayfish to be eaten. Si.
When they arrived at Shen Shiguang's door, they saw Duan Chengnian coming towards him with a sword.
"Dr. Shen's family."
At the door of the restaurant, some old diners saw her and said hello to her.
Shen Zhiyao agreed with a smile, and then asked Madam Wu to take the crayfish in.
"General Duan." Shen Zhiyao called Duan Chengnian at this time, "Come to eat?"
Duan Chengnian frowned slightly: "Have you been working as a businessman since you left the Shen Mansion?"
Most merchants are crafty people who put profits first.
And how could she, a person who grew up in an official's family and received official education, come out to show her face now?
"General Duan, aren't you here to eat?" Shen Zhiyao did not answer his words, "If not, can you step aside? You are here and affecting my restaurant's business."
Duan Chengnian is worthy of being the male protagonist in the original book. He is dressed in rich clothes, tall and straight as a pine tree, has a handsome face, and exudes an awe-inspiring aura that makes people afraid to approach him.
Some diners who were going to eat at Shen's restaurant hesitated when they saw Duan Chengnian standing at the door.
After hearing Shen Zhiyao's words, Duan Chengnian looked around and moved away.
"General Duan, if you don't eat, are you looking for trouble with me?"
Seeing that he still didn't leave, Shen Zhiyao asked doubtfully.
Duan Chengnian: "I just happened to pass by."
"Okay, then why don't we send him off." Shen Zhiyao raised her feet and was about to go to the restaurant.
But I heard Duan Chengnian's words, "Since you already have Zhuangzi, why do you need to show your face?"
"General Duan, since he already has enough to eat and drink, why do he still need to make contributions?" Shen Zhiyao asked directly.
Then, without waiting for Duan Chengnian to answer, she added: "General Duan should not ask questions about matters that have nothing to do with General Duan."
After saying this, she walked into the restaurant.
Duan Chengnian frowned even more tightly.
After a while, he walked towards the pier.
She has changed so much. In the past, she always had a smile on her face in front of him, but she never spoke so coldly.
That's all, he just wanted to remind her because of their friendship since they grew up together.
He has important things to do.
"Boatman, go to Fucheng."
When he arrived at the dock, Duan Chengnian directly threw out his banknotes and chartered a boat.
Traces of a gold mine were found on a mountain outside the city of Yunluo Prefecture, but when the officials went there, they found that the gold in the gold mine had long since disappeared.
This time, the emperor sent him to investigate the matter and escort Mr. Shen along the way.
His troops had already gone to the capital city of Yunluo Prefecture.
After Duan Chengnian left, Shen Zhiyao met Shen Cheng again.
Unlike Duan Chengnian, Shen Cheng came to see her specifically.
"After I bring back all the information about the waterwheel this time, the emperor will definitely reward you."
In the teahouse, Shen Zhiyao and Shen Cheng sat face to face. Listening to Shen Cheng's words, Shen Zhiyao remained unmoved.
"Master Shen, why don't you tell me what you want to see me for today?" Shen Zhiyao leaned back and leaned against the chair.
Shen Cheng put down the tea cup in his hand and said with a smile: "Now our family has moved to the capital. If you miss your mother, you can come to the capital to see her at any time."
"We are not a family. It would be inappropriate for Mr. Shen to still call Mrs. Shen my mother."
