Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 337 Passersby Work Hard to Live (5)
Three days passed in a flash, and an ancient town appeared on the road ahead of the carriage.
The heavy feeling of history was overwhelming, especially the tall city walls. It was hard for Shen Yao to imagine that this was just an ordinary small town. How prosperous must Luojing be, which was a hundred times more lively than Songyang.
Everyone entering the city has to queue up to pay the relevant fees. Songyang has a loose management system and as long as enough money is paid, no one will deliberately make things difficult for you.
In order to facilitate entry into the secret realm of Mangshan, Liu Jingyan stayed in Songyang City for a few days.
Because I was not used to the inn environment here, I simply spent money to buy a courtyard with three entrances.
Now that they have returned again, they no longer have to worry about where to live.
There was a bustling crowd outside the carriage, and from time to time the shouts of vendors could be heard. Shen Yao reached out, lifted the curtain, and looked carefully at the scene outside the window.
It is not much different from the ancient life in the past, with quaint long streets and alleys, connected buildings on both sides, and the occasional colorful embroidered buildings, all interweaving into a picture scroll before your eyes.
There are really a lot of embroidery towers here. After the carriage had only driven a short distance, she saw several embroidery towers with different plaques hanging on them.
Most of the items sold on both sides of the street are related to embroidery. Although no one comes forward to sell their wares, the accessories held in the hands or hung around the waists by passers-by all demonstrate the exquisite embroidery craftsmanship.
"Would you like to get off the bus and take a walk?"
Since there was nothing else to do, Liu Jingyan thought it would be a good idea to accompany Shen Yao out of the car and take a walk.
Shen Yao shook her head and casually let go of the curtain. "There's no rush." They haven't really had a rest since they came out of the secret realm.
Now that we have finally made it to the city, we must relax our body and restore our spirit.
Besides, Songyang is just an ordinary small town with only a few places to visit. They will be staying here for a few days, so there is no need to visit it all so early.
Shen Yao planned to take a quick walk before leaving, but now it was better for her to go home quickly.
Liu Jingyan smiled when he heard that, and shook the folding fan in his hand lightly, "Listen to Yaoyao," he is fine with it.
After all, in essence, Liu Jingyan can be regarded as a cultivation maniac. Even when he goes out, it is not for sightseeing. It is the first time that he is as relaxed as he is today.
The carriage under him moved forward, turned a few corners and entered a wider street.
After about quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped and arrived at the place where we were going to stay.
Liu Jingyan got out of the car, held Shen Yao with one hand, and the two entered the courtyard one after the other.
The blue bricks and gray tiles are arranged in an orderly manner. Although the courtyard is not big, it looks very comfortable because of its exquisite construction.
Moreover, the courtyard bought by Liu Jingyan is located in the east of the city. It is where dignitaries live, and the surrounding neighbors are all the top class people.
"It's relatively safe here. The Extermination Department and the Demon Suppression Department will send people to patrol day and night," to ensure that the danger is nipped in the bud.
Liu Jingyan asked someone to clean up the rooms on both sides, and he took Shen Yao to the study.
"Here are all books that record the affairs of the Wei state. You can read them at will."
There are no secrets in the study. Liu Jingyan is worried that Shen Yao has violated taboos because she doesn't know the inside story, so he hints that she should improve herself as soon as possible.
He can't stay by Shen Yao's side all the time.
Shen Yao pursed her lips and smiled, walked forward, picked up two books and held them in her arms. Even without Liu Jingyan's reminder, she would have made good use of the time.
It was fine to stay in Songyang, as she only had Liu Jingyan by her side, so she didn't have to be too cautious.
But once she goes to Luojing, facing more rigorous scrutiny and testing, Shen Yao's pressure will suddenly increase.
She still wants to live well and enjoy life, so she doesn't want to put herself in a vortex of trouble.
The study was quiet. The two of them were doing their own things and no one spoke.
Until footsteps were heard outside the window, and the steward came over to report that the meal was ready and asked whether it should be arranged.
Liu Jingyan stood up from the table, his green gown embroidered with black bamboo was blown up by the wind, creating a beautiful arc, "Set the table."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yao put down the book in her hand and gently folded it up at the place where she had finished reading.
The words "Songyang Old Stories" are written on the front of the book, and the content inside is also related to this small town.
A pair of big hands reached out to Shen Yao and pulled Shen Yao up from the couch with great force.
Liu Jingyan glanced at the books on the table and asked, "Is this the old story here?"
Shen Yao hummed, "It's quite interesting. It details the origin of the embroidery building, but there are many mysteries in the words, and I don't know whether it's true or not."
After all, there are indeed mountain spirits and monsters in this world. Songyang City is not big, but there are many legends about it.
Take the embroidery towers outside for example, the most widely circulated story is the one about the Red Embroidery Tower.
Rumor has it that there was a woman who was an excellent embroidery worker and made a lot of sacrifices to support her husband's studies. However, most scholars are mean-spirited and once they achieve success, their love and fate will end.
Eventually, the embroidery building caught fire and took away the infatuated men and women, and it became a magical story.
"Perhaps what I heard was different and had nothing to do with love. It was caused by a demon. Although the embroidery tower was sealed by the government, it has been wandering around the world, waiting for the full moon night to appear and repeat the killing that year."
Liu Jingyan's words were even more sensational. Compared with Shen Yao's fresh and simple words, they were bloody and terrifying.
Shen Yao frowned and glanced at the serious young man in a reproachful manner.
Really, he was trying to scare her on purpose, and now I have to pretend to cooperate?
Liu Jingyan laughed heartily, "No need, I just think the rumors are not credible." It happened too long ago, who knows the truth back then.
Holding Shen Yao's wrist, he left the study, and the two went to the living room to have a meal in a low voice.
The meals were prepared by the servants, and shopping was done at the city market.
Compared to the uncomfortable food in the secret realm, their life after coming out was wonderful and the food was fresh, which perfectly matched the life Shen Yao had dreamed of.
"Sir, someone just sent an invitation."
The steward in charge of the courtyard's security spoke in a low voice and then mentioned the recent tense atmosphere in Songyang City.
Liu Jingyan had been in the Mangshan Secret Realm and had just arrived. Naturally, he had no idea what had happened in Songyang City.
Putting down the dishes in his hands, he took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth, and Liu Jingyan stood up, "Follow me to the study and I will explain in detail."
Before leaving, he told Shen Yao not to go out, "Wait for me to find out the situation first."
For safety's sake, one can never be too cautious. After all, even in the smallest towns, terrifying things can happen.
In recent years, there have been countless strange incidents occurring within the territory of Weiguo alone, some of which are still restricted areas for humans.
The weird ones cannot be killed or destroyed, and humans can only weaken the seal by some means. Compared with the short lifespan of humans, the weird ones are obviously a long-lived race.
Shen Yao nodded, indicating that she would go back to her room to rest after dinner.
Smiling as she watched Liu Jingyan and his men leave, Shen Yao lowered her head to scoop up a bowl of soup, held the spoon up to her mouth bit by bit and tasted it carefully.
The fresh ingredients have a unique flavor, and I didn’t put down my chopsticks until I was slightly full.
After getting up and returning to the room, Shen Yao continued to take out pills to nourish herself. There was no other way. Her body was weak and she had to rely on it to conceive offspring. She could only seek external help for nourishment.
However, as long as the result is good, she can accept it. After all, she still has to rely on her offspring for support in her old age, and the talent of her own children cannot be too bad.
"It shouldn't be possible. The system pills cannot be fake. Even if there are congenital deficiencies, they can be compensated later."
Holding her stomach and muttering a few words, Shen Yao rubbed her eyes and simply lay down on the bed to rest.
The soft bed beneath her body made Shen Yao feel comfortable. Her mind became groggy and she fell asleep in an instant.
When she opened her eyes again, Liu Jingyan was no longer in the mansion. Shen Yao felt bored and simply ran to the study to read.
There wasn't much content in the two miscellaneous notebooks I picked up at random. It was already dark when I finished flipping through them.
Lanterns were lit in the courtyard, candles were lit in the house, and Liu Jingyan walked in with a cold look on his face.
Shen Yao stood up, handed the hot tea to the other party, and asked what happened outside.
Liu Jingyan shook his head, "It's Tang Yuan's body."
The night before leaving the secret realm, Shen Yao witnessed the dispute between the three people.
Liu Jingyan sighed, "There is no solution in Songyang City, the Tang family plans to return to Luojing."
There are many talented people in Luojing. Although Tang Yuan’s situation is special, it does not mean that there is no solution.
This time Liu Jingyan went out at the invitation of the Luojing family. Since everyone came here together, they should help out.
Shen Yao brought a plate of cakes and put them aside. "Do we want to leave together?"
"No need. Something's happened to the master of the Tang family. There's no reason for us to accommodate him." Liu Jingyan and Tang Yuan had a neither-good-nor-bad relationship, they just had normal interactions.
"I have to go out to help out these days, so I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you," Liu Jingyan said apologetically. He had originally planned to make time to spend more time with Shen Yao.
So that's it. Shen Yao said in her heart, and waved her hand, "It doesn't matter. The Tang family's affairs are more important." She felt more relaxed going out alone.
Sometimes, being too considerate will increase a man's guilt.
Liu Jingyan reached out and hugged Shen Yao into his arms, repeatedly assuring her that when they returned to Luojing, he would definitely accompany Shen Yao well and would never be perfunctory like he was today.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao really didn't care whether Liu Jingyan accompanied her or not. In her opinion, as long as he was sincere, he could make people satisfied even if he was not. If he was not sincere, then he would be nothing more than a soulless body, a walking corpse.
The two of them didn't stay together for long before going back to their rooms to rest.
Shen Yao is currently in a state of having nothing to worry about. She only needs to eat, drink and have fun on weekdays. Liu Jingyan will take care of everything else.
…………
"Ms. Shen, why don't we go back first?" There were so many things they bought that they couldn't carry them all.
As servants who were smart and capable, the servants accompanying Shen Yao had long given up resistance and devoted themselves to serving the young master's sweetheart.
Today is the third day of going out. Although Miss Shen looks delicate and gentle, she is full of energy when shopping on the street, and they can't resist her.
As a result, some managers who were doing well in their careers had no choice but to speak up because they really had no free hands. It was not that they wanted to provoke Miss Shen.
"Arrange a few people to send them back. There are still a few embroidery towers to visit ahead." They would leave Songyang in two days, and Shen Yao didn't want to miss the shopping, so she seemed a little crazy.
"Yes, I understand."
Smiling at Shen Yao with a flattering look on his face, the steward pointed out a few people to go back to the courtyard first, and then asked them to call over all the people who were not busy in the courtyard.
How can it be that they are working hard outside while others are hiding in the yard and enjoying themselves? Everyone should share the joys and sorrows.
There were fewer servants surrounding Shen Yao, but there were still a lot of them left.
On the bustling streets of the city, it goes without saying that Shen Yao, a beautiful woman, is very eye-catching. If the servants around her were not all ferocious, there would have been people who would have come up to her and asked for trouble and a fight. How could she have strolled around so leisurely?
"Move forward," Shen Yao said, and was pushed forward by the servants.
Passing by the entrance of a tall embroidery building, I saw a thin man being pushed and fell.
"Humph! If you dare to come next time, be careful that we will break your legs. Ruyi Tower is now named Zhou instead of Sun. Boy, don't be stupid."
"Bah, you are so young and yet you still dream of redeeming it. Do you know how much Ruyi Tower is worth now?"
"Hahahahahaha, you have a gambler dad at home and a blind mom who can't do embroidery. I advise you to give up as soon as possible."
"..."
Harsh words came out of the mouths of several managers and servants of the embroidery building, and the young man who was pushed down was so angry that he spoke without thinking.
The two sides then engaged in a war of words, and in the end the young man was outnumbered and was defeated.
Shen Yao stood in the crowd, listening to the gossip of the onlookers around her, and vaguely understood the grievances and hatreds here.
Simply put, it is a matter of using any means to seize other people's property. In the end, the winner is the king and the loser is the villain. Shamelessness is indeed popular.
"Miss Shen, do we want to go in?" The steward bent his body, his eyes fixed on the Ruyi Tower in front of him.
Shen Yao shook her head and said, "Let's go to another one." This place is too unlucky, and she still prefers to make money in harmony.
Turning around, ignoring the resentment that seemed to be condensing into substance in Ruyi Tower, Shen Yao entered an embroidery building called Jixiangfang.
As for embroidery shops, not only are their appearances similar, but even the embroidery work sold inside is almost the same.
Shen Yao likes it, Liu Jingyan dotes on her, and money is spent like water.
"Pack these and this up," Shen Yao waved her hand and took them all away.
She was not afraid of her own materialism and greed. Liu Jingyan was more tolerant of her than ever before and gave her the greatest authority in everything she did.
Just like today, Shen Yao opened her mouth and asked to go shopping. The manager who went out with her not only did not stop her, but also suggested that Shen Yao buy more.
The Liu family is not short of money, and the most expensive things in Songyang City are not as expensive as those in Luojing, so why should they save money?
The new fat sheep Shen Yao quickly made a name for herself in Songyang. Even Liu Jingyan, who came back at night, joked about it and mentioned in passing that they could have merchants provide door-to-door service.
"Ayan, don't you think I'm fooling around?" Everyone else is well-behaved and sensible, but when it comes to Shen Yao, they are considered to be misbehaving.
Of course, Liu Jingyan is not short of money, and what Shen Yao spent is just a drop in the bucket.
But Shen Yao's current identity is Dodder, who is dependent on Liu Jingyan.
This meant that Shen Yao could not be too selfish in front of Liu Jingyan. She needed to please this young man who could decide the quality of her life.
"What nonsense! If you like it, just buy it." Liu Jingyan was still a little condescending, not towards Shen Yao, but when dealing with certain things.
Now that he likes Shen Yao, whatever Shen Yao does is reasonable and logical. He may even add fuel to the fire to some extent, allowing Shen Yao to act more unscrupulously.
