Chapter 148 He said that you are shameless
It was getting later and later, and my third uncle's wife was pacing back and forth restlessly at home. The old man and the family had gone out without saying a word, and no one knew where they had gone. It was really frustrating.
Shen Zhen didn't know where they went. They left in a hurry and didn't have time to tell her anything. They just asked her to take good care of her third uncle's wife and aunt.
Aunt Cuihua was worried about the Shen family, so after dinner she handed her grandson Zhong'er to her son Qin Zheng and ran to the Shen family's courtyard.
"Don't worry, his third aunt, they went with my daughter-in-law to my daughter-in-law's parents' home for something." Aunt Cuihua saw that the third uncle's wife was restless and hurriedly comforted her.
When the third aunt heard her say this, she felt relieved, but she was still nervous and felt like something had happened.
Not long after, they heard the sound of carriages and people talking outside, and everyone hurried out of the yard.
The third uncle entered the yard first and pulled the third aunt aside, looking serious and nervous. "Old lady, I have good news. Don't get excited. Chang Geng is still alive and outside the yard."
The third aunt's face was startled, her eyes were red, she couldn't believe what she just heard, and said in a trembling voice: "I didn't hear it clearly, please say it again."
"Mother, it is Chang Geng who is unfilial." Shen Chang Geng staggered in and knelt down in front of his third uncle's wife. As soon as he saw the old lady, he felt a strong sense of heartache in his heart. The old lady had silver hair and wrinkles all over her face.
The third aunt-in-law glanced at the boy kneeling in front of her, and was stunned at the first glance. Her lips trembled, and she couldn't say a word. Tears flowed from her eyes like a flood. She hugged him and beat his back hard, crying, "Why did you come back just now? Where have you been? In all these years, you didn't even send a message home."
"Old woman, the child was injured and doesn't remember anything that happened before. This time, it's all thanks to Guo Ning, whose father took our son in." The third uncle wiped his tears with his sleeves and helped his wife and son up.
The third uncle told his aunt about what Shen Changgeng had gone through in the past few years. As his aunt listened, tears as big as beans kept falling. Shen Zhen and Ah Si also shed tears.
"Third aunt, let's go and clean up a room for our uncle so he can have a good rest." Shen Zhi persuaded the third aunt who was crying uncontrollably.
The Third Uncle looked up and said, "Okay, Chang Geng, you must be hungry. I'll go make you a bowl of egg noodles."
Shen Changgeng couldn't bear to spoil her fun, so he nodded and agreed.
This night was a reunion night for the Shen family. The third uncle and aunt did not sleep all night and went to check outside Shen Changgeng's house every few days, for fear that they would wake up and find that it was just a dream.
Shen Changgeng woke up before dawn. He slept soundly that night.
When the third uncle and his wife saw that their son had gotten up, they immediately brought him breakfast. They surrounded their son and watched him eat, with smiles on their faces all the time.
Not long after, Shen Changlin's family came in Zhuge Ling's carriage. As soon as the great grandfather and his wife got off the carriage, they immediately rushed into the yard. When they saw Shen Changgeng in person, they believed that Shen Changgeng was still alive.
Everyone was crying and laughing that day, even Shen Zhi shed a few tears. Just as he wiped away his tears, he was crying again because of another person.
In order to celebrate Shen Changgeng's resurrection, Shen Zhi prepared two tables of luxurious food and wine, all of which were exquisite dishes that had never been made before. Everyone ate heartily and happily.
After lunch, the third uncle and his wife took Shen Changgeng back to Shenjia Village. They were going to offer sacrifices to their ancestors and then deal with Shen Changgeng's grave.
When the Third Uncle and his family returned to Shitou Village, it was almost dusk. The Third Uncle accepted Shen Zhi's suggestion and decided to buy a piece of land in Shitou Village and build a small courtyard next to the Shen family. They would settle down in Shitou Village and take care of each other.
Later, he married Guo Ru, so the two sisters could take care of each other in the same village.
Third Uncle had a strong execution ability. Early the next morning, he took his savings to the village head and got the land deed completed. He also asked the village head to find someone to help build the house. The layout of the house was the same as Shen Zhi's house. The village head was now familiar with the place and left everything to him.
While the house was being built, Shen Zhi took Meng Ting up the mountain and captured two wild geese and two wild boars, which would be useful when proposing marriage.
Other items such as melon seeds, candies, wedding cakes, cloth, etc. were all prepared by Shen Zhi, and he also prepared a set of the best four treasures of the study for Guo Xiucai.
An auspicious day was chosen, and everyone brought gifts and the matchmaker to propose marriage. The proposal went smoothly, and the man and woman exchanged engagement letters, and the marriage was settled. The date was set for the eighth day of June, by which time the new house had been built.
Although Shen Changgeng returned to Shitou Village to live with his parents, he still went to the town every now and then to chop firewood and fetch water for Guo Ru's family, and the relationship between the two quickly heated up.
Shen Zhi has returned to Baiyun Villa, and the villa is still bustling with activity every day. Since Shen Zhi helped them detoxify the mushroom last time, everyone's attitude towards this little girl has changed, and they are willing to work with her peacefully.
The weather has warmed up and everyone has changed into light spring clothes.
The spring rain has been falling for several days in a row, and the watermelon seedlings and rice seedlings in the fields have sprouted. Everything is green and growing well.
In such a spring, Shen Zhi received a letter from Haizhou. Needless to say, it was sent to her by Zhan Xiao, and it contained only one sentence.
I haven't heard from you for a long time, and I miss you very much.
Shen Zhi came from the modern era and couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence, so he planned to check it on his space computer later.
Unexpectedly, Eunuch Cao, who was standing by, was puzzled when he saw her finish reading the letter so quickly and with no expression on her face.
"What is it about? You finished reading it so quickly." Eunuch Cao couldn't help but ask curiously.
Shen Zhi was speechless that a eunuch was so gossipy.
"He wrote eight words, but I don't understand what they mean." Shen Zhi rolled his eyes at him.
Eunuch Cao was enthusiastic and waved to Ke Chen, "Master Ke was the top scholar in the imperial examination. How could a mere eight words stump him?"
Eunuch Cao enthusiastically grabbed the letter from her hand and handed it to Ke Meng, "This girl said she couldn't understand it. Can you take a look at what it means?"
Before Shen Zhi could react, Ke Chen had already opened the letter and read its contents.
Ke Chen took a look and his face quickly fell. He tore up the letter and glared at Shen Zhi, "Shameless," and then he left, leaving Shen Zhi and Eunuch Cao confused.
Eunuch Cao laughed awkwardly and said, "Hehe, he means that you are shameless." Then he slipped away.
"It's incomprehensible." Shen Zhi snorted coldly. What on earth did this "Si Zhan Xiao" write? I want to check it out. It's over. The paper has been torn. What are the eight words?
