Rouge wrong

Chapter 12

It is said that it is going to the city, but in fact it is just going to a town in the county.The Yan Dynasty was divided into four levels: provinces, provinces, prefectures, and counties. The so-called towns were slowly developed and expanded from the bazaars held by several villages. There were no officials directly under the imperial court to guard them, let alone lower-level villages.

Towns and villages are governed entirely by the head of the security and the head of the village, and only major incidents will be decided by the county-level yamen.

If the villagers in several villages around Maoshan want to go to Maoshan Town, they must either go on foot or make an appointment with several families to drive an ox cart.

As for shopkeeper Shen, it is natural to take a carriage.

The coachman was dressed in black as usual, with a big hat, so that no one could see his face.

It was the first time for Erya to ride in a carriage, seeing the tall maroon horse, she was both novel and frightened.

"Don't look, go up."

While speaking, Shen Cuo was already holding Erya by the back collar, and stepped on the horse stool neatly into the carriage.

Erya was used to being carried by Shen wrongly in the past two days, and she was not frightened, but just looked at the inside of the carriage curiously.

The exterior of this carriage generally looks plain, but the interior decoration is completely different.

Erya was dazzled by the scene behind the curtain, and didn't even know where to put her feet.

Although the space inside is not large, there are tables, chairs, stove, tea and cakes, and there are soft blankets under your feet.

"Sit down, don't just stand there, it's half an hour away."

Er Ya heard Shen Cuo's greeting, and sat down on the cushion with some trepidation.There are many such cushions in Shen Cuo's living room and study, and they are very comfortable to sit on.

Erya heard the sound of "drive" from outside, and the carriage started to move slowly.The roads in the country are not very smooth, but the driver is highly skilled, and the suspension of the carriage is also designed very well, so it is not very bumpy.

Shen Cuo opened the box of pastries and pushed it in front of Erya, then took out an iron hook from nowhere, and turned on the stove on the small table.

Her movements were slow but coherent, her demeanor was inexplicably focused, and her slender fingertips rubbed the teapot and porcelain pot with indescribable elegance.

Er Ya didn't know what Shen Cuo was doing, but he couldn't move his eyes away from her for some reason.

She has always known that shopkeeper Shen is very good-looking, but at this time shopkeeper Shen seems to be different from usual.

Shen Cuo slowly brewed tea, seeing Erya sitting still, he asked strangely, "Why don't you eat?"

She doesn't like sweets herself, but because she saw Erya's small body before, she decided to make her fatter, so she asked Shen Ding to buy a lot.

Er Ya now fully understood Shen Cuo's temper, knowing that she couldn't shirk it, she quickly picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.

The chestnut cake almost melted in the mouth, sweet and soft, even better than the last time she ate.

"Is it delicious?" Shen Cuo saw that Erya took a small bite but quickly finished eating a piece, her face was full of surprises and aftertaste, and she was quite complacent, "This is a pastry with abundant grains, and it is not sold in Maoshan Town .”

There is nothing to sell in the town, and naturally there is none in the village, so at least this pastry was bought from the county.

Although Erya has little knowledge, she is also deeply aware of Shen Cuo's seriousness, so she is not surprised to hear her say this.

"It's delicious, Shopkeeper Shen, this must be expensive, right?"

Shen Cuo doesn't like to look at people's pettiness the most. Seeing that she only ate one, he stopped talking, waved his hand and said, "What do you care about this? You can eat it if you let it. Anyway, it's a waste if you don't eat it."

Erya was still a child after all, so she didn't resist the temptation and reached out to take another.But this time she ate more slowly and carefully, wanting to savor the taste of the pastry.

Seeing that the tea was almost ready, Shen Cuo poured her a cup.

"This is five-grain tea." Shen Cuo didn't do other housework unless he could do it.

But for such an elegant thing as making tea, she doesn't think it's troublesome at all. "It's not like other teas that need to be boiled three or five times, but it's more troublesome when frying."

It was only then that Erya realized that Shen Cuo was making tea. Seeing her pouring water for herself, she wanted to stop her but did not dare to reach out, and said at a loss, "Thank you Shopkeeper Shen, I, I will do it myself."

Shen Cuo raised his eyebrows and put the teapot back on the stove.

"Then you pour it for me, there is a way to pour tea..."

Erya quickly swallowed the pastry, knelt down next to Shen Cuo and poured tea for her.

Shen Cuo babbled a lot, and Er Ya was dizzy from hearing it.

"Well, that's it, Wugu tea is not so particular."

Erya finally breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but think, wasn't what shopkeeper Shen said just now was not enough?

After the carriage drove for a while, Erya finally remembered to ask the purpose of this trip after eating and drinking enough.

"Shopkeeper Shen, what are we going to buy today?"

This was not only the first time Er Ya went to town, but also the first time she saw Shen Cuo leave the grocery store—not counting the time when she saved her.

She stayed by Shen Cuo's side for more than a month, and deeply realized how much Shen Cuo didn't like to go out. She really couldn't imagine that there was any important thing that she needed to buy in person.

Shen Cuo lazily leaned against the wall of the car, and said casually: "Go and buy you some winter clothes."

"what?"

Erya looked at Shen Cuo with a confused face, as if she couldn't understand her words.

"It's almost October, and you don't even have a thick coat, how will you work after that?"

"But……"

But that didn't make sense for shopkeeper Shen to buy it.

Shen Cuo glanced at her lightly, with the indisputable gaze of an absolute superior.

"I thought you should understand that you saved me that day, no matter how I treat you, it's not too much. Don't refuse, understand?"

Erya is just a little girl, and most of the concepts of right and wrong were taught by her elder sister. She may be strong, she may have tenacity, but she does not have the concept of character.

She didn't admit that she knew Shen Cuo before because she was afraid of getting into trouble, and later she refused to buy herself because she was afraid of losing her freedom.

My sister told her that the most important truth is that there is no help in the world that does not ask for repayment, and others need you for your kindness.

Even the purest charity, those people also get a corresponding sense of satisfaction.

She doesn't quite understand all her sister's words, but she firmly remembers that she shouldn't have too many illusions about helping others, and she shouldn't push herself too far.

After her sister was sold by her father, Erya became more cautious and only hoped that she and her younger brother could live a good life.

"Why are you crying?"

Although Erya didn't refuse, tears suddenly flowed from her big eyes, which made Shen Cuo jump.

Er Ya wiped her tears with her sleeve while sobbing, Shen Cuo was disgusted by it, and quickly took out a handkerchief from her arms and threw it to her.

"Don't wipe it with clothes, it's dirty."

Er Ya obediently took the handkerchief, her nose was immediately surrounded by a fresh fragrance.

"Wipe, wipe, don't get your nose in the car." After being taught by his mother, Young Master Shen finally had a little awareness of self-reflection, but after thinking hard for a long time, he still didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said just now, "I I didn't scold you or beat you, why are you crying?"

Erya carefully wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, choked up and said, "Because Shopkeeper Shen, you are so kind to me."

Shen wrongly looked at Er Ya in shock.

Is she nice to Erya?Where is it?And why do you cry when you are nice to her?Shouldn't you be happy?
