After coming out of Zuijiangyue, Shen Qiaochen got in the car and went back home.
As soon as the carriage curtain fell, Shen Qiaochen leaned into the soft cushions, losing the dignity and elegance he had just outside.
Shen Qiaochen has always been favored in the Shen family, and the carriage and groom she rides in are also exclusive to her. In addition, she had just recovered from a serious illness. Before setting off, Shen Qiaoran personally rearranged the carriage. Not to mention the thickening of the cushions, the entire carriage floor was covered with thick and soft blankets, fixed on one side. Soft and sweet snacks and tea are prepared on the small table.
If he hadn't been in a hurry to get the "Jade Key to Chonglou" before Xiao Li, he wouldn't have dragged his sick body through this trip.
The only surprise was Xiao Jue. I don’t know what he means by “again”…
Shen Qiaochen leaned on the soft cushion, thinking drowsily, fortunately, today's goal has been achieved.
Ji Qingyuan finally gave the medical book to Shen Qiaochen, and buying shares in Zui Jiangyue was an extra gain.
As one of the three wonders in the capital, Zui Jiangyue is worthy of its reputation. Especially the Drunken Fairy Duck, it's really fresh to the bone. It's just that every time I go late, I can't get a reservation. But it's okay now. As the boss, I should still have privileges. Shen Qiao thought happily.
Shen Qiaochen has never forgotten the meaning of her rebirth. If she wants to have enough strength to compete with Xiao Li, her status as the legitimate daughter of General Jianwei's mansion is not enough, not to mention that her reputation in the capital is not good.
Both brothels and restaurants are the best choices for establishing an information network, and the former, as Shen Qiaochen, is definitely out of reach at the moment, so we can only start with restaurants.
I had learned something from chasing Xiao Li in my previous life.
Take your time. Shen Qiao raised the corners of her lips.
When we returned to the mansion, it was almost time for you.
Shen Qiaochen helped Yunling's men get out of the carriage, and saw the boy beside Shen Qiaoran coming to greet her, "Zi'an has met the fourth girl."
"Excuse me, third brother is back already?" Shen Qiaochen asked as he led the others.
"Back to Fourth Miss, the Third Young Master has just walked in. The old lady is back. She should be in Jinghe Hall now." Zian said respectfully.
As soon as I entered the hanging flower gate of the inner courtyard, I was greeted by several people hurriedly approaching. The leading girl is eighteen or nineteen years old, with delicate appearance and tall figure. She is wearing azure-colored armor and has a steady expression. She is the maid Liusu next to Mrs. Shen.
When Liusu saw Shen Qiaochen and others, he immediately came forward to greet them, "Liusu has met the fourth girl."
Shen Qiao smiled and said, "Sister Liusu, grandma asked you to wait for me here?"
"Exactly. When the old lady returned home, she found that the girl had woken up. She was very happy. She also heard that the third young master had taken you out, so she was anxious. Just now the concierge said that you are back, so why don't you let the slaves come out to greet you? .”
Shen Qiaochen nodded and followed Liusu to Jinghe Hall.
Seeing the words "Jing Hetang" getting closer and closer, Shen Qiaochen felt timid about being close to home.
Due to his own fault in the previous life, no one in the Shen family except the second wife was spared. On the day when Xiao Li ordered the house to be confiscated, her grandmother couldn't bear the humiliation and took poison and committed suicide with all the female members of the Shen family.
With the guilt in her heart, Shen Qiaochen walked into Jinghe Hall. There were many people in the room, but the first thing she saw was the figure sitting on the soft pear tree above.
She was an old woman in her fifties, her silver hair was neatly combed behind her head, and she was wearing a purple silk embroidered braid with branches. There were not too many jewelry on her body, and she had an aura that was calm but powerful. When she looked at Shen Qiaochen with a pair of eyes that had experienced years of development, they were full of love and worry.
Shen Qiao stared intently at the mutton-fat white jade lotus-head Ruyi hairpin inserted in the other person's hair, which was a birthday gift he gave to his grandmother. She pursed her lips and felt soreness in her eyes.
Grandma, it’s grandma!
When Shen Qiaochen saw Mrs. Shen for the last time in her previous life, the situation of the Shen family was already very bad. Shen Congyan and his wife have been away from the capital all year round, and they have no way to deal with sudden disasters. The second wife harbors evil intentions and will not help at all. For many years, Mrs. Shen has been in charge of all affairs in the General's Mansion. It was clear that my grandmother, who was only in her early fifties at the time, had aged rapidly in just a few days, but the look in her eyes that looked at Shen Qiaochen showed helplessness and pity, but no resentment.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiaochen finally couldn't hold back the surging emotions in her heart, and quickly stepped forward, and in the astonished eyes of everyone, she jumped into Mrs. Shen's arms like a tired bird returning to its nest.
"What's going on? Who bullied my Xiao Qiao?" Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment, and then she gently hugged the little man in her arms. Her no longer young but still warm hands gently placed on Shen Qiao Chen's back. He patted her gently, as if to comfort or joke.
Shen Qiaochen slowly stood up from her grandmother's arms, but still snuggled next to her, hugging Mrs. Shen's arm tightly and coquettishly said: "No one bullies me, Xiao Qiao just misses her grandmother. She has been worrying her these days. Already." He raised his head as he spoke, his big lacquer-like eyes full of admiration.
Mrs. Shen's face and temperament were very dignified and majestic, and her methods were even more resolute. The younger members of the Shen family never dared to be presumptuous in front of her.
Only Shen Qiaochen was born prematurely and had been weak since she was a child. People around her treated her like a porcelain doll and rarely went out. She has been obedient since she was a child, and only occasionally shows a bit of arrogance in front of her grandmother.
Mrs. Shen thought she was frightened because she fell into the water, so she held her in her arms again and screamed sweetly.
The tender and loving scene between the grandfather and grandson here is very dazzling in the eyes of some people.
"Hey~ the fourth sister is really the most annoying. She ran out just after waking up. We can only wait here."
The person who spoke was a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old wearing a light yellow embroidered lotus turban. She had a sweet smile and looked pretty and cheerful, but her words were slightly mean and even malicious.
Shen Qiaochen just glanced at her lightly and did not speak. However, Shen Qiaoran stood up and scolded with a straight face: "Shen Qiaojia, I brought Xiao Qiao out. What do you have against me?"
The second daughter of the Shen family, Shen Qiaojia, had a stiff expression on her face. She didn't dare to talk back to this demon king, so she could only look at the woman beside her.
Sitting next to her was Mrs. Wang, the mistress of the second house. Her face was also not very good-looking. The second house was originally a concubine, so she was one level shorter than the eldest house. Even the eldest house's children did not look at them. In the eyes.
So he gritted his teeth and said, "What did Ah Ran say? Your second sister was also worried about Xiao Qiao. Knowing that she was awake, she hurried over early in the morning. Who knew that even her mother had returned home and she didn't see Xiao Qiao? Shadow, just said it casually."
Then he changed his voice and said: "Let me tell you, it's not a problem if my eldest brother and sister-in-law are not in the house all the year round. There are so many things in this house, and my mother can't take care of them alone. Otherwise, we'd better move back, so that I can be there for my mother." Let’s start…”
Before he finished speaking, he heard an unhurried voice: "Second aunt, you are too worried. Xiao Qiao has been brought up by his grandmother, and my third brother and I can handle the affairs of the General's Mansion ourselves, so I won't bother my uncle and aunt in the next room." Thank you for your hard work."
