Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

Shen Lingzhu was very happy. She earned back dozens of taels as she wished and booked a profitable business.

But when she returned to the inn and saw the furious Second Wife, she knew what trouble the Xue family was up to again.

Upon inquiry, it turned out to be true. It turned out that my great-aunt's eldest son was critically ill because he failed to handle the relationship between the local Yi people and the Han people in the southwest well, which caused a big fight.

If the garrison had not arrived in time, a greater disaster would have occurred.

At present, the court asked him to return to Beijing to report on his work and apologize. After several attempts, the Xue family finally sought help from a prince.

The other party agreed to help escape danger, but asked the Xue family to marry a daughter to his illegitimate grandson.

Second Grandma said: "Your great aunt has only one granddaughter, Xue Yuning who is visiting you.

She said that the prince's illegitimate grandson might inherit his father's throne, so she wanted to find a capable helper for her granddaughter.

"So, she wants my second sister to go?" The so-called right-hand man is almost the same as a concubine. Shen Lingzhu couldn't believe it. This great-aunt might not be very smart.

Second Mistress said, “Yes, it’s totally meaningless.

What you said might be helpful for your uncle's recovery in the future, bah!

If Wu Huai is such a person, I will be the first to cut off all ties with him."

Shen Lingzhu blinked: "So it seems that the old lady of the Xue family deliberately asked us to live in the mansion to remind us?"

"She doesn't have such good intentions, she just wants to laugh at us." Grandma took Shen Miaozhu's hand and said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have let you in.

Alas, I can’t see as clearly as your great grandfather.”

"Don't be angry, grandma. Just move less in the future." Shen Miaozhu didn't take it to heart. She was unhappy. The terms "aunt" and "grandaunt" were useless.

Shen Lingzhu quietly asked the frowning Shen Songzhu, "Aren't the princes going to their fiefdoms? How many are still in the capital?"

Shen Songzhu said: "As for the vassal states, as long as they reach adulthood, they are basically sent to the vassal states, and the royal family often chooses wives from the common people.

But the Xue family was looking for Prince Xiang, the current uncle, so they had some face.

Otherwise, my great-aunt's youngest son would not have resigned his official position in order to marry into the royal palace as a commoner."

While they were talking, the Xue family came outside to give gifts again, but their uncle Huang Zongqi went out to stop them and drive them away.

What a joke! He has his sights set on his niece. He just has a good temper because he doesn't beat people.

Grandma asked, "Miaozhu, would you like to go back tomorrow?"

If it were any other girl from the Shen family, she wouldn't be so nervous.

"Okay." Shen Miaozhu had already tried it. The recipe was not easy to sell and the bean skin buns could not be sold at a high price.

It would be better to go home as soon as possible and not let your family worry about you.

"Then my second sister will have to draw the blueprints for several carpenters overnight." Shen Miaozhu wanted to help with the drawing, but her senior sister didn't let her do it to ensure rigor.

This day was spent in a colorful way.

Early the next morning, Carpenter Lu and others came to take away the drawings of the rocking chair.

Uncle Huang Zongqi immediately escorted them out of the city and told the four brothers who were escorting them, "Make sure you get them home safely."

Even after the car had gone a long way, Shen Lingzhu could still see her uncle waving.

She said, "Originally, we should have sent him off, but now it's his turn to send us off.

I suspect that if Zhuang Baibu hadn't also been leaving later today, my uncle would have taken us to the county town."

"We left early today, so we don't have to rest in Dalidian. If we keep going as fast as possible and don't stop at noon, we can reach the county town in the evening.

Uncle Shiman, are you going back to Beigou with us, or will you continue studying in the private school?" Shen Songzhu asked Shen Man, who was in the same car.

The latter was still cursing Shen Lingzhu and her sister in his heart and didn't pay much attention to him.

"Brother Songzhu, Uncle Ten will definitely go back to the village with us.

Otherwise, August is the time for exams, and his teacher wouldn't be able to teach." Shen Lingzhu looked down on Shen Man's attitude and deliberately hit on his sore spot.

Shen Man was about to say something, but the guards following the car moved closer, and Shen Miaozhu pulled out a needle bag, and he instantly lost interest in talking.

Humph, you bully the weak and fear the strong.

But what Shen Lingzhu said was true. Along the way, they saw many scholars rushing to the provincial capital to take the two academy examinations every three years.

Passing the academy examination means becoming a scholar, but many people never cross this threshold in their entire life.

"I don't know if I will be lucky enough to take the exam like them in the future." Shen Songzhu's father died of illness caused by studying too hard before the college entrance examination.

My uncle was also a good student, but he failed to pass the exam as he wished.

Shen Lingzhu said: "Of course you can. Brother Songzhu, as long as you practice boxing more often and keep fit like my elder brother, your studies will definitely not be a problem."

In her opinion, these two brothers who studied were both weak scholars.

Brother Songzhu is better off than the eldest brother, and he also does some farm work. "I don't know if the eldest brother is in the county town or at home."

Of course, Shen Xianzhu was waiting for them in the county town. He did not leave even after the previous batch of bellows were sold.

Every day, he would go outside the city several times to see if his two sisters had returned, so much so that even the city guards knew him.

At this moment, he went out of the city again to wait for his sister to return. Xia Wang, who was buying snacks, hurried over and said, "Master, I saw He the butcher's men following a carriage out of the city."

"Someone who is keeping an eye on Mr. Cai?" Shen Xianzhu immediately became alert. Before his uncle left, he told him that he had hired someone to keep watch over Mr. Cai to prevent him from having any bad ideas again.

Just the day before yesterday, this guy's wife bought two bamboo rocking chairs, and the next day he sneaked out of the city on a donkey.

As expected, he was stopped by Mr. He's men, and several pictures of bellows and rocking chairs were found on him.

I guess today, I still don’t give up.

"Come on, let's go and take a look." Shen Xianzhu asked him to point out which carriage it was.

Xia Wang whispered, “Over there, there are carriages with strong men sitting on the left and right shafts.

He must be afraid of being intercepted again, so he asked for protection."

"Are there enough people like you and others?" Shen Xianzhu couldn't tell who was following him.

Xia Wang shook his head: "I only know one person named Mr. He." He couldn't just go up and ask how many people there were.

Seeing that Cai Yuansheng's carriage was about to arrive, Shen Xianzhu clenched his fist and whispered a few words in Xia Wang's ear.

Xia Wang's eyes lit up and he nodded continuously. After the film was over, he drove the ox cart to meet the horse carriage.

When the horse was about to approach, he suddenly turned around and placed the ox cart across in front of the horse.

In an instant, the people around him shouted at him, and Cai Yuansheng, who was bumped in the carriage, lifted the curtain and asked what happened.

When he lifted the curtain, Shen Xianzhu, who was sitting on the oxcart, could clearly see the packages inside the carriage. "It seems he's going on a long journey."

When a man jumped off the shaft of the other vehicle and came over, asking fiercely why there was a traffic jam, Shen Xianzhu jumped off the vehicle and ran straight towards Cai Yuansheng.

The latter saw that it was him and quickly lowered the curtain and told the driver: "Ignore them and go quickly."

However, as soon as the carriage started, Shen Xianzhu stood in front and blocked it, saying, "Master Cai, I have something to ask you. Please get off the carriage and talk to me."
