"My humble abode is simple and I haven't even prepared any tea. I apologize for the poor hospitality. I hope you don't mind." Wen Wuyan saw a carriage coming from afar and prepared a bowl of boiled water.

This time, he really welcomed the visitors and jumped up and down to invite them to take a seat.

But the seating is a bit shabby.

After Steward Shen arrived, he carefully looked at the place where they lived, picked the best one and said, "Brother Wen, yours is great! The house is next to the hillside, next to the water source, and not far from the village. Although the wooden house is a bit simple, it has a prosperous population. As long as it is slightly renovated, it will be a treasure land."

Although Wen Wuyan was already thinking about how to build his new home, he felt a little embarrassed by his praise.

"Your arrival has made my humble abode more glorious, but it is too simple. Guests can only sit in the yard."

"We came here rudely. But we can't stay here for long. It's getting dark, and we need to bring the young master back safely. Caiyun, please help move the things down." Manager Shen said this without saying anything, and the last sentence was given to the maid who was traveling with him.

Shen Chenan carried a box of pastries and walked towards Dahua and Erhua.

"Dahua and Erhua, these are the water chestnut pastries and crystal osmanthus cakes we brought from the capital. We don't have these things in town." Shen Chenan picked up the food box from the car and divided the contents between Dahua and Erhua.

"Horse hoof pastry?" Erhua asked with her head tilted.

After asking, they looked at each other, and without waiting for Shen Chenan to answer, the two sisters looked towards the hooves of the horses pulling the carriage.

They looked at the black horse hooves and frowned almost at the same time.

"Eat water chestnuts!" Erhua had already begun to produce more saliva in her mouth when she heard the word "Beijing". She was fantasizing about the things in Beijing.

At this moment, looking at the real horseshoe, you were about to eat this a second ago?

The next second I was thinking how big this pot is!

Shen Chenan followed the sisters' gaze and when he knew what they were looking at, he chuckled, "It's not that horse hoof, it's the horse hoof pastry from the pastry shop. I'll show it to you."

As Shen Chenan spoke, he opened the food box in his hand, and Dahua and Erhua's attention were immediately attracted by the contents.

A thick layer of sesame seeds is sprinkled on the thick pancake, and the dough under the sesame seeds is scored with beautiful patterns, through which the red bean paste filling can be seen.

It looks like a delicious dish.

Erhua finally swallowed her saliva. She pointed at the pancake and asked, "This pancake looks so beautiful, as beautiful as a flower. Why is it called a horse hoof pastry? It doesn't look like a horse hoof at all."

Erhua said this without forgetting to look at the real horse's hooves.

Shen Chenan puffed his cheeks and tilted his head to think about it. Unable to figure out why, he shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but this is sweet and delicious. I'll give it to you guys."

As Shen Chenan spoke, he reached out and took one from each of the sisters and handed them.

Dahua and Erhua did not answer, but turned around and called out "Mom", and then waited for Gu Qingqing's response with expectant eyes.

"Just eat what Chen An brought to you! Remember to thank him."

The two sisters' eyes immediately brightened up, and they said "thank you" to Shen Chenan almost at the same time, and then took the water chestnut cakes.

The two sisters each ate a piece at the side.

the other side!

"Manager Shen, we accepted the snacks and the two pieces of fine cotton cloth you prepared, but we really can't accept this amount of money. What we did wasn't a big deal. We would feel uneasy if we accepted it!"

Gu Qingqing looked at Wu Yi holding a box in his hand, which contained ten shiny large silver ingots.

He kept refusing to accept it.

My goodness, she had been here for so many days and had only saved more than 100 taels of silver, most of which came from selling a wild ginseng.

The Shen family offered a thank-you gift of one hundred taels at this moment.

He is indeed a rich man!

Wen Wuyan also echoed from the side, "Manager Shen, we only kept the child for one night, and we only had simple meals to eat. We really don't deserve such a generous thank you."

Seeing Gu Qingqing and Wen Wuyan pushing each other so hard, Shen Shi laughed even more happily, not because they didn't accept money, but because of their character.

He has seen too many different kinds of people, some of whom would do evil things for a few taels of silver.

Look at this family!

Living alone at the foot of the mountain, with the family huddled in a small cabin within sight, everything is within sight.

Now, facing the one hundred taels of silver, there is no greed in his eyes, but more sincerity and kindness.

Manager Shen said cheerfully, "You two are kind-hearted and think you are just doing something convenient, but to the Shen family, it is a matter of life and death. Compared to the safety of our young master, this little money is nothing to the Shen family, so you can just rest assured."

After Manager Shen finished speaking, he saw that the couple looked like they were rejecting him, so he said to himself, "If you don't accept it, I won't be able to complete my mission when I go back. If the master finds out, he will definitely scold me for not doing my job well. I won't even be able to deliver the goodwill of the Shen Mansion."

Wen Wuyan was about to say something else, but was stopped by Gu Qingqing without leaving a trace, "Since the Shen family treats us so well, we will not refuse it anymore."

Although Wen Wuyan didn't know why Qingqing suddenly changed her mind at this moment, he still obediently took the box from Wu Yi's hand, turned around and put the box on the small table next to him.

Hahaha, Manager Shen laughed cheerfully a few times, then smoothed his sleeves and said, "Mrs. Wen, please be straightforward. If you encounter any problems that are difficult to solve in the future when you go to town, just come to the Shen Mansion. The Shen Mansion may not be a famous family, but it is somewhat influential in Taohua Town, and they will give us some face."

"I'll have to trouble Manager Shen again if I come to your house in the future." Wen Wuyan said, inviting them again, "You see, we've been so busy talking that we've neglected you all. Please take a seat first."

Shen Shi didn't hold back this time and actually sat on the small stool. After drinking half a bowl of warm water, he stood up again and said goodbye.

Gu Qingqing and Wen Wuyan sent them to the main road, and as Shen Chenan waved, the car drove farther and farther away.

Gu Qingqing and Wen Wuyan walked back side by side.

"Wen Wuyan, I'm not greedy for their money."

"I know."

"you know?"

"Well, one hundred taels is equivalent to our entire fortune. Just like what Manager Shen said, it is nothing to the Shen family."

"Oh? What does this have to do with whether we accept it or not?" Gu Qingqing asked again in a good mood.

"For them, things that can be done with money are much easier to handle than worrying about favors."

After Wen Wuyan finished speaking, he saw Gu Qingqing suddenly froze in place. He leaned on a bamboo pole and looked back, "What's wrong, Qingqing?"

The little remaining light of the setting sun enveloped the two of them. Because Gu Qingqing was backlit, she could only see Wen Wuyan in the light.

She originally wanted to ask, "Did you also travel through time?" or "Wen Wuyan, you know me very well!" or "We have the same idea!"

Finally, she moved her lips and a voice floated out, "Wen Wuyan, you are glowing!"
