Chapter 276 Feelings are heating up rapidly (1 more)
Qixian County, the old residence of the Shen family.
Shen Yunyao was restless in the room and looked outside the room from time to time.
Finally seeing Heyu's figure appear at the gate of the hospital, she immediately rushed forward anxiously and asked: "Have you got it?"
"I got it." Heyu looked around, "Let's go into the house and talk about it."
Shen Yunyao was slightly unhappy when he heard this, and muttered: "I didn't do anything, what are you doing like this!"
But even though she said that, she followed He Yu into the house obediently.
After entering the house, Heyu closed the doors and windows, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Shen Yunyao.
On the envelope, the words "Miss Shen respectfully" are written handsomely and elegantly.
Just looking at these five words, Shen Yunyao couldn't help but blush.
But He Yu shook her head. Ever since she went out for an outing during the Qingming Festival, Shen Yunyao began to correspond with Wei Yunjing, almost every day, and the relationship between the two people also heated up rapidly.
This made He Yu, who had been serving as the messenger for the two of them, feel increasingly uneasy, and couldn't help but advise: "Girl, if the old lady finds out about this, it will be terrible!"
"Okay, stop nagging, go out and help me read it!" Shen Yunyao pushed He Yu out of the room directly, and then opened the letter carefully.
There are a total of five pieces of letter paper in the envelope, and the writing is very small. It can be said that it is full.
Shen Yunyao anxiously read the letter from beginning to end in one breath, then turned back and read it carefully starting from the first sentence.
She read the letter over and over for more than an hour, wishing she could put every word in her mouth and chew the taste. Then she put down the letter still unsatisfied, spread out the pen and paper and began to write a reply to Wei Yunjing.
When Shen Yunyao read the letter over and over again, Shen Yunyao had already typed up the draft of the reply and wrote it very smoothly. However, after putting the letter paper into the envelope, she hesitated again.
She knew that Wei Yunjing's family background was not good. He was currently studying at Wanliang Academy in the county town, and he had to pay someone to bring the letter to the Shen Family Courtyard.
Nowadays, one letter a day is so frequent that the cost of sending letters is still a small part, while pen, ink, paper and inkstone account for the bulk of the cost.
But Wei Yunjing didn't mention anything in the letter, and Shen Yunyao didn't feel comfortable asking. She wanted to put a small amount of money in the letter, but she was afraid of hurting the other person's self-esteem.
Shen Yunyao has been pampered since she was a child. She only considers others for her sake and never considers other people's feelings. However, this time she learned to consider others without any guidance.
After much consideration, she still did not put the banknote, but took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to He Yudao together with the letter: "Give this silver to the person who sent the letter, say it is this month's monthly payment, and ask him not to do it again." Ask Mr. Wei for money."
As a result, He Yu broke the silver and hesitated: "Girl, is this too much? It usually costs only two cents to send a letter, and it only costs sixty cents a month. This piece of silver weighs two taels."
You know, the consumption level here in Qixian County is far lower than that in Yongzhou Prefecture. Two taels of silver a month is more than enough to hire someone to deliver letters.
Shen Yunyao rolled her eyes at her and said: "Ask him to tell Mr. Wei that he has to come to Qi County every day anyway and deliver the letter on the way. There is no need to ask for money. Do you hear me? Tell him to say it carefully and don't leave. Stop talking, otherwise you will be out of money next month!"
Only then did He Yu understand that Shen Yunyao was working so hard because he didn't want Wei Yunjing to spend more money.
It's rare for my girl to know how to think about others, but why is she not feeling happy at all, but she is getting more and more heartbroken!
After sending this letter, Wei Yunjing offered to meet Shen Yunyao in the letter he received the next day.
Shen Yunyao felt happy and sad at the same time.
The good thing is that Wei Yunjing wants to see her so much, but the sad thing is that it is not as convenient for her to go out now as it was when she was at home.
But no matter what, we have to find a way.
After going to greet Mrs. Shen in the evening and having breakfast together, Shen Yunyao mustered up her courage and said tentatively: "Grandma, I want to go out tomorrow."
After dinner, Mrs. Shen was closing her eyes to rest her mind. She didn't open her eyes when she heard the words. She just asked: "What are you going to do?"
"I want to go to the county town and buy a piece of material, some patterns and silk thread. Next month is my mother's birthday, and I want to embroider a silk handkerchief for you to help bring over."
Shen Yunyao racked her brains for this reason for a long time. It can be said that it is reasonable and reasonable, and there is no fault in it.
Hearing this, Mrs. Shen pondered for a moment, remembering what her eldest daughter-in-law said in front of her before, and finally nodded and said: "It's rare for you to have such filial piety. Let's ask someone to set up a car tomorrow. Take a few more people with you. Don't delay outside. It’s too long, come back early after shopping.”
"Thank you, grandma." Shen Yunyao thanked Mrs. Shen sincerely this time, and was so happy that she didn't know what to do.
After returning to the room, Shen Yunyao first wrote a letter to confirm her appointment. After sending the letter out, she started busy.
"How about this, girl? I haven't worn the new one I made this year yet!" Mingyu picked up a goose-yellow skirt and asked.
"no!"
"Then this pea green one..."
"not good!"
Finally, she finally chose a new cherry red dress, which perfectly complemented Shen Yunyao's skin tone. After wearing it, her skin looked fairer and more translucent.
Shen Yunyao looked in the mirror for a long time, and finally nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, this is it. You guys quickly find all the jewelry that can match this outfit!"
After struggling like this until night, He Yu persuaded her to go to bed early to avoid feeling bad tomorrow, so Shen Yunyao was willing to sleep.
Early the next morning, Shen Yunyao set off in a carriage.
The Shen Family Courtyard is not too far from the county seat of Qixian County, and it can be reached in less than an hour.
The county seat of Qixian County is not too big, but it is famous for Shanxi merchants. There are many people doing business and the streets are very lively.
Shen Yunyao left the mule cart outside the city and entered the county town with only He Yu, where she found the Wufu Teahouse mentioned in Wei Yunjing's letter.
The teahouse here in Qixian County was naturally not as exquisite and high-end as what Shen Yunyao usually went to, but she didn't dislike it at all. She went straight in and asked for a private room. After entering, she casually ordered a pot of tea but didn't drink it, playing with it in her hands. Holding a teacup, he stared at the door uneasily.
Seeing this, He Yu asked: "Girl, but this tea is not to your liking? Why don't I help you order a new pot?"
"No need." Shen Yunyao said impatiently, "Don't dazzle me. It makes me dizzy..."
While he was talking, the door of the private room was suddenly knocked.
"Please come in." Shen Yunyao immediately changed her expression and her voice became gentle.
The door to the private room opened, and the person who came was indeed Wei Yunjing.
"Miss Shen..." Wei Yunjing was stunned the moment he saw Shen Yunyao.
She really deserves to be a girl from Fucheng. Even if the girls from Qi County dress up carefully, they still can't have the temperament of Shen Yunyao who was brought up in wealth.
It wasn't until he realized that Shen Yunyao blushed because of him that Wei Yunjing came back to his senses and hurriedly apologized: "I'm really sorry. Something happened in the school and I was late."
"It's okay, I've just arrived." Shen Yunyao's cheeks were slightly red, and she looked at Wei Yunjing with eyes that were pickled with sugar, "Mr. Wei, please take a seat."
After Wei Yunjing sat down opposite Shen Yunyao, the room fell into silence.
When we wrote letters before, the two of us always had endless things to talk about.
At this time, I finally had the opportunity to talk face to face, but for a while I was so nervous that I didn't know what to say.
