Fan Yuru originally had someone guarding Shan'aokou, but this was mainly to prevent others from coming in and disturbing him.
The men he brought this time had already seen Shen Zhonglei in the backyard of Huashen Temple in the morning and knew that he was the local official.
Especially his three daughters are also in the col.
So when they saw Shen Zhonglei approaching, neither of the two people who stayed at the entrance of the mountain to guard him thought they should stop him or send a message.
Otherwise, wouldn't it look like my young master is doing something shameful inside?
So Shen Zhonglei entered the mountain col without any obstruction. When he turned a corner, he saw a dozen girls gathered on a mat on the grass beside the mountain stream. Several young men from the Cheng family were standing around with Fan Yuru.
Fan Yuru is not the tallest among them, but he is the most conspicuous. People will immediately focus on him at a glance.
Shen Zhonglei walked towards Fan Yuru and found that Shen Tianshu was standing next to Fan Yuru talking to him.
The harmonious scene of the two standing together made Shen Zhonglei subconsciously slow down. The thought that had been flashing through his mind suddenly began to grow wildly.
The Fan family has a good family tradition and a good reputation. After several contacts with Fan Yuru, he also felt that this child was a gentleman, gentle and gentle.
In particular, he has had several contacts with Shen Tianshu, and now it seems that the two of them are getting along very well. It would be a good thing if they could form this family relationship.
Shen Tianshu looked up while he was talking, and happened to see Shen Zhonglei standing not far away thinking about it. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Shen Yunyao not far away.
When Shen Zhonglei saw that his daughter had discovered him, and was about to step forward to speak, he followed her somewhat panicked movements and gaze and saw Shen Yunyao, who was supposed to be grounded at home.
Shen Zhonglei's face instantly turned livid, but now that so many people were present, he had to be cautious.
In the end, he only glared at Shen Yunyao fiercely, then straightened his expression and walked quickly towards Fan Yuru.
"Master Fan, I am really grateful to you today, otherwise this year's fertility ceremony would have become a stain that will be difficult to clean up in my life."
"Mr. Shen, you are very polite. In fact, I see that Mr. Shen has brought so many people and is well prepared. Even without my warning, he must be able to cope with the situation at the scene."
Shen Tianshu was confused when he heard this. Didn't Fan Yuru pass by here and come to participate in the Flower Festival? Why is it related to the fertility ceremony?
Shen Zhonglei explained the situation of the morning to Shen Tianshu in a few words, and then praised her: "Today| you were also very thoughtful and asked my father to bring more servants and servants in advance, which also helped a lot!"
"I thought it was just some unruly people making trouble, but I didn't expect it was premeditated... Dad must interrogate those people carefully after he goes back, otherwise they may be hiding it while we are hiding it, and there may be other tricks in the future."
"Don't worry, dad knows the importance. Just celebrate the festival well and have fun. Don't worry about anything else."
Mingyu watched the sun getting farther and farther away, but Shen Zhonglei was still talking to Fan Yuru, so he had to quietly walk behind Shen Tianshu and ask in a low voice: "Girl, if you wait a little longer, the sun will not shine at all in the mountain col. Servant, I see that Miss Song is much better, should we go out quickly?"
Shen Zhonglei heard the sound and turned around and asked: "What's wrong?"
Shen Tianshu hurriedly explained the matter in general, and then emphasized: "This girl is from the Song family of Shuntian Prefecture. She came back to visit her grandfather at the end of last year and stayed in Huguang for the New Year. My daughter went to Prince Rui's Mansion for a banquet on the Lantern Festival. I once met Miss Song once, but I didn’t expect that Miss Song is also related to the Cheng family. This time I came to Yongzhou Mansion, firstly to visit relatives and friends, and secondly, to celebrate the Flower Festival.”
Fan Yuru took the opportunity to praise and said: "Master Shen has governed well. Now the Flower Festival in Yongzhou Prefecture is not only famous in Huguang, but also many people in other places have heard of it!"
Shen Zhonglei was in a good mood after being praised by Fan Yuru. In addition, he heard that Song Rongqian was from the Song family of Shuntian Prefecture, so he naturally became more concerned.
"It is indeed colder in the mountain col than outside, not to mention that it is still by the water. But with Miss Song's physical condition, it is not convenient to walk on the mountain road. How about this? I will ask someone to bring a soft sedan over and take Miss Song directly to the carriage. Next, it’s best to go back and rest as soon as possible.”
It was much more convenient to have a soft sedan, and Song Rongqian was quickly sent back to the carriage and went down the mountain.
As soon as she left, it was naturally impossible for the Cheng family to stay and continue playing, so they had no choice but to go home with her.
Cheng Xuhuan was quite unwilling. While Shen Zhonglei and Fan Yuru were chatting happily, he quietly walked up to Shen Tianshu and asked in a low voice: "Will Miss Shen come out to watch the floats and lanterns tonight?"
When Shen Tianshu thought about Shen Yunyao, who was at the last place and closely followed by two servants around Shen Zhonglei, he could already predict what kind of tragic scene it would be when he returned home.
She shook her head and said, "I'm really scared after what happened to Miss Song today, and I'm also a little tired. I probably won't come out at night."
Cheng Xuhuan was a little reluctant, but it was hard to force such a thing, so he had no choice but to get on his horse angrily, and followed the three cousins, guarding Song Rongqian and Cheng Yingxin's carriage down the mountain.
Naturally, Shen Zhonglei came to Yangmingshan not for an outing, but for socializing.
So after talking to Fan Yuru for a while, he had to go and socialize with others. Before leaving, he said directly to Shen Tianshu: "Take good care of Mr. Fan for dad."
Shen Tianshu: "..."
Dad, have you forgotten that you gave birth to a daughter, not a son?
Fan Yuru took the opportunity and said: "I heard that every year during the Flower Festival in Yongzhou Prefecture, there are lanterns to watch at night, as well as floats and flower boats. It is very lively. I wonder if Miss Shen can be free to fulfill her friendship as a landlord?"
Having said that, what else could Shen Tianshu do? He could only nod and said: "The city is really lively at night. If Mr. Fan doesn't mind it, I will take you around the city in the evening."
Fan Yuru achieved his goal and felt very comfortable. He turned around and found that Shen Yunyao was missing, and asked quickly: "Where is Miss Shen Er? Could it be that she got separated from us?"
"Second sister was..." Shen Yunhui was about to say that Shen Yunyao was taken back to the carriage by Shen Zhonglei's men, but Shen Tianshu stopped her with a look and immediately shut up.
"Yun Yao was frightened by Miss Song's illness just now, so she went back to the car early."
Even if he no longer likes Shen Yunyao, Shen Tianshu does not want to expose this family scandal.
"I see." Although Fan Yuru didn't know the reason, he was keenly aware that Shen Tianshu didn't want to mention it, so he immediately changed the subject and took the two of them to see the flowers at the Red Cross Society.
He was very knowledgeable about various types of flowers and introduced them to the Shen sisters along the way. He not only won the praise of many flower owners, but also attracted the attention of many flower appreciators.
