The melon-eating system, everyone listens to my voice

Shen Zhao responded, and the two of them got on the ox cart along with their two backpacks.

The speed of an ox cart is much faster than that of a person walking, and the road from Shenjia Village to the town is flat.

It is said that a scholar was born in Shenjia Village fifty years ago. In gratitude for the help given by Shenjia Village, he donated money and manpower to repair the road from Shenjia Village to the town to make it more convenient for villagers to go to the town.

So it only took the ox cart three quarters of an hour to reach the town.

Shen Zhao took out fifty copper coins and gave them to the uncle driving the ox cart, then took Shen Wenxia to the car rental company and bought a horse carriage with a wave of his hand.

Shen Wenxia was almost scared to death. Why buy a carriage? No, when did Sister Zhaozhao get so much money?

Shen Wenxia's mind was too busy to think, and he watched in a daze as Shen Zhao gave thirty-five taels of silver to the manager of the carriage dealership.

He got in front of the carriage, took the carriage rope confidently, and said to her, "Xia Xia, get in. I'll let you feel the joy of riding in a carriage."

Shen Wenxia was disheartened and didn't know how to explain when she returned home. Shen Wenxia also thought of another possibility, that this carriage was the vehicle used by Shen Zhao to leave the Shen family.

Shen Wenxia felt that no matter whether she or her second brother came back, they would not be able to persuade Sister Zhaozhao to change her mind.

She even bought a carriage!

Shen Wenxia wanted to cry but had no tears.

Shen Zhao drove the carriage happily, facing the gentle breeze, and rushed forward happily.

Shen Wenxia looked at the familiar direction and the house that was getting closer and closer, and finally understood where Shen Zhao took her?

The only academy in the town - Qingfeng Academy.

Shen Wenhu, the eldest son of the Shen family, was studying there.

Shen Wenxia was absent-minded, but she heard Shen Zhao's carefree voice, which was inexplicably comforting.

"Xia Xia, don't you want to find your second brother? Come now. You don't have to come again tomorrow. How about it, sister treats you well."

Shen Wenxia's frown suddenly relaxed and he burst into laughter.

"Sister Zhao Zhao. Should I thank you? Young lady, let me enjoy the fragrance."

Shen Wenxia approached him in a servile manner.

"Xia Xia, Zhao Zhao, why are you here?"

A familiar voice came.

They both looked up and saw a person in white clothes walking towards them from the front. He had a gentle temperament and his voice was as comfortable and clean as hot spring water hitting stone.

He is Shen Wenhu, the second son of the Shen family.

Today, Professor Shen Wenhu of Qingfeng Academy and a group of scholars who were taking the examination were not feeling well, so they were given two days off.

Shen Wenhu thought that he hadn't been home for a long time and wondered how his family was doing, so he decided to go home today to take a look.

As a result, when Shen Wenhu came out of the academy gate, he saw his sixth and seventh sisters.

What made Shen Wenhu even more surprised was that his sixth sister Zhaozhao was driving a horse-drawn carriage.

Shen Wenhu was full of doubts.

Seeing Shen Zhao about to pass by him on a carriage, he hurriedly called out to stop the two of them.

When Shen Wenxia saw her second brother whom she had been thinking about day and night, she immediately perked up and said in surprise,

"Brother, why are you here? Don't you have to go to school? Why are you still carrying a bag?"

Shen Wenhu patted Shen Wenxia on the head and said gently,

"My second brother is on holiday these two days, so he came home to visit. How come you and Zhao Zhao came to town together?"

Shen Wenhu looked at the two people with a strange expression.

His eyes were more focused on the carriage. Before Shen Wenhu could speak, Shen Wenxia started to tell him everything.

After Shen Wenhu heard this, he felt moved.

He didn't expect that so many things happened in the past few days, especially today.

He walked up to Shen Zhao, touched the cloth on Shen Zhao's head with pity on his face, and asked softly,

"Zhao Zhao. Does it still hurt?"

Shen Zhao was not used to the touch of strange men and avoided it subtly.

Then he said calmly,

"It's okay, second brother. It doesn't hurt anymore. Second brother happens to have a day off today, so come with us to sell ginseng, and then we'll go back together."

Shen Wenhu knew that now was not a good place to talk, so he could only nod.

But he came up with another idea.

"Zhao Zhao, let my second brother drive."

"Brother, can you?"

Shen Zhao looked at Shen Wenhu in confusion. The old Shen family had never bought a carriage, let alone driving one.

Shen Wenhu raised his eyes slightly, and a sense of confidence emerged.

“Driving a carriage is a piece of cake, my second brother can do it.

"I've seen other people drive horse-drawn carriages, and I've even driven a bullock cart myself. It's the same principle, so don't worry."

Shen Zhao looked at Shen Wenhu, who was confident and smiling cheerfully. It was difficult for him to refuse, so he could only hand him the reins, sit aside, and said playfully,

"Then I'll see what my second brother's skills are. Don't let me down, brother."

Shen Wenhu stretched out his slender jade-like fingers, tightly grasped the reins with both hands, jumped into the front seat of the carriage, and said,

"Xia Xia, go in the carriage and sit down. Zhao Zhao will sit next to me."

Shen Wenxia had great faith in his second brother, who had been very smart since childhood and was good at everything, including driving a horse-drawn carriage.

Shen Wenhu was indeed a very good driver, even better than Shen Zhao.

Ma listened to Shen Wenhu very much and went in whatever direction Shen Wenhu said.

It's like man and horse are one.

Shen Zhao looked up at the sky and it was time for lunch.

She asked Shen Wenhu,

"Second brother, do you know which restaurant has the best food in the county?"

Of course Shen Wenhu knew.

Although I usually study in town, I meet with my classmates on weekdays, exchange ideas, and visit some nice places in the county.

"Zhao Zhao, do you want to have lunch in the county town at noon?

My second brother has a good place to recommend, Manyulou. The chefs there are as skilled as the imperial chefs, and every dish is exquisite and delicious.

I think my second brother has eaten all the signature dishes, so you can give it a try."

Shen Zhao nodded and agreed.

The group of three first went to the largest clinic in the county.

This clinic is owned by a local family in the provincial capital. It has three branches in the county town and the prices they offer are quite reasonable.

There were five hundred taels of silver in total.

Shen Zhao asked for four silver notes and ten ten-liang pieces of silver.

Afterwards, they drove a carriage to Manyu Tower and tasted a table of delicious food, spending three taels of silver.

After eating and drinking, Shen Zhao chose to go shopping.

Rice, 20 jin.

Give me 10 steamed buns and dumplings each.

Give me two roast ducks.

Give me 20 feet of each color of fabric.

Silver hairpins, give me two.

There were also Shen Wenxia's handkerchiefs, and Shen Zhao bought 60 of them at once.

Use two a day, no repeat.

I bought books needed for the imperial examinations for Brother Shen, as well as rice paper, brushes and various supplies.

Shen Wenhu was stunned, looking at Shen Zhao who was spending money like water.

In just half a day, she had spent a silver note, a total of 100 taels.
