After a few days, Shen Ao was very busy preparing for the post, said goodbye to his friends, went to the Ministry of Officials to pick up the survey and citation, and then went to the Yaya Mountain House, first, to say goodbye, and secondly, to discuss with Wu San'er about going to Hangzhou to open a branch.

Now the market in Bianjing has been saturated, to continue to expand, you can only look beyond Bianjing, there are only so many small city markets, it is difficult for high-end tea shops to survive, Hangzhou is one of the best cities in the world, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity of Shen Ao to take office, expand the business to Hangzhou.

With this idea, and Wu San'er said, Wu San'er also agreed, the two hit it off, and discussed some details, but they were troubled by the matter of the candidate, this will take at least a few months to a year to go to Hangzhou, Wu San'er guards a few shops, already anxious, and he can't be separated, but there is no suitable candidate at the moment, Wu San'er recommended a more loyal person, named Li Chenglong, who can be a shopkeeper in the future, but who will take care of the accounts?

"Why don't you just ask Chun'er to go with me, she will keep the accounts." Shen Ao thought about it, and could only work his own Chun'er.

Wu San'er said with a smile: "With Madame here, I don't have to worry, Brother Shen, it's settled." ”

Shen Ao got up to leave, but Wu San'er stopped him, went to get ten hundred pieces of money, and said, "Brother Shen, you take this money first, and go to Hangzhou, you can't have no expenses." ”

Shen Ao blocked it with his hand, and said with a smile: "That's not necessary, leave more money and prepare to go to Hangzhou to open a shop, I got married a few days ago, and there are thousands of dollars when I fold the gift money alone, and I can't use it for the time being." ”

Wu San'er couldn't help but exclaim, 10,000 yuan?

Shen Ao looked at Wu San'er looking at himself like a monster, laughed, and said, "Now you know why so many people want to be officials, right?" I'm gone, take care. ”

When he returned to the new house, he saw that the four ladies were tying kites in the back garden, Shen Ao walked over and said with a smile: "Seeing that it is going to rain, what are you doing with kites?" ”

Zhen Zhen chuckled, "There's always a sunny day, isn't it?" Pierced the spare one first. ”

Shen Ao nodded, and told Chun'er about going to Hangzhou with him, but Zhou Ruo was sour, but he didn't show it.

Shen Ao didn't have anything to do, rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll also help you tie kites, I'll be responsible for painting kites." ”

I went to find a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and started to draw a picture on a piece of paper, and said with a smile: "This is Ruo'er." ”

Zhou Ruo went to see it, it was a cat, angry and funny, thinking that Shen Ao was going to leave in a few days, he stomped his feet again, and said with tears flashing with stars: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

"Okay, I'm not talking nonsense, I'm going to write." Shen Ao grabbed the pen and wrote in the next paragraph of Tom Cat: My wife Zhou Ruoye.

Zhou Ruofen came with a fist, Shen Ao smiled, hurriedly avoided it, and said, "Don't fight, don't fight, this time draw Zhenzhen, draw Zhenzhen." ”

Zhen Zhen said: "Draw what I do, but don't draw cats again." ”

Shen Ao said with a straight face: "Zhen Zhen is as beautiful as a fairy, since only a swan is worthy of it." When I grabbed the pen and painted, it turned out to be a Donald duck, and Chun'er shouted: "This ...... Is this a swan? ”

"What? Isn't it okay to mutant swans? Even if it is a swan, it is also a swan that stands out from the crowd, which is naturally different from ordinary swans. He talked nonsense, Zhen Zhen was ashamed, and said with a stiff face: "This is obviously a duck." ”

Shen Ao smiled: "Even if it's a duck, it's a maverick duck, and in my eyes, Zhen Zhen is so different." After signing the payment, I wanted to paint Mo'er and Chun'er, the second daughter hid her face and left, but she didn't let Shen Ao paint, Shen Ao chased after her, and went into Mo'er's house, hugged Mo'er, lowered her head and kissed, Mo'er refused at first, and then gradually became confused, moaned a few times, and her body seemed to melt.

Shen Ao took the time to smile and said, "Look where you are fleeing." ”

Tang Mo'er replied shyly: "It's almost time to eat, it's inconvenient here." ”

"What's inconvenient?" Shen Ao ignored him and lowered his head to kiss him again. After some teasing, Tang Mo'er was also half-idiot and half-drunk, **, the two of them came out, and saw the pavilion from a distance, Zhen Zhen smiled and looked over here, Shen Ao pretended to be nothing, Tang Mo'er was so ashamed that she couldn't raise her head.

After dinner, the ladies went back to the room to pack up for Shen Ao, in fact, the so-called packing has already been done, not to mention that the four ladies went to do it together, which is really a bit of a snake, but this is the daughter's surname, Shen Ao read the book in the study, and went to Chun'er's room, Chun'er saw him come in, and while packing up his things, he said: "Husband, I will go to Hangzhou with you, and you will accompany Miss and Zhen Zhen and Mo'er more these days." ”

Shen Ao felt justified and went to Zhou Ruo's room, Zhou Ruo had a small burden on the bed, I don't know what it contained, and Zhou Ruo sat alone on the edge of the bed, saw Shen Ao coming, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, raised his eyes and said, "Didn't you go to Chun'er for the night today?" ”

Shen Ao sat down beside her and said, "I'll accompany you." ”

Zhou Ruo's eyes were sour, and after listening to Shen Ao's words, the tears that he had been holding back fell down, and he said with a crying voice: "If you want to go, you can leave, and what are you going to do with me!" ”

Although Zhou Ruo's mouth said so, he suddenly softened in Shen Ao's arms, his shoulders trembled slightly, as if he was afraid that Shen Ao would disappear all of a sudden, and hugged Shen Ao tightly.

Shen Ao's placket made Zhou Ruo's tears wet, listening to Zhou Ruo's sad crying, Shen Ao almost wanted to say that this bullshit official Lao Tzu was inappropriate, but in the end he held back rationally, Shen Ao gently stroked Zhou Ruo's long hair, and there was a fragrance of soaphorn on the tip of his nose, lingering, and Shen Ao looked at the woman in his arms, with deep tenderness in his eyes.

Zhou Ruo was tired of crying, wiped his eyes, and said: "I heard that Hangzhou has the most bad women, and you will be fascinated wherever you go." ”

Shen Ao said with a straight face: "I hate women the most." ”

Zhou Ruoyan smiled, a little crimson appeared on her face with pear blossoms, and said angrily: "Who knows what you think in your heart?" ”

Shen Ao just smiled, and was about to take off his boots and go to bed, Zhou Ruo said: "You go to Zhen Zhen and Mo'er's room, my menstrual affairs are coming." ”

Shen Ao said: "No need, let's just sleep with it like this." ”

Zhou Ruobai glanced at him: "You don't have a conscience, people don't know how sad they are tonight, but what are you doing with me, go quickly." ”

Shen Ao had no choice but to put on his boots, and when he arrived at Zhen Zhen's room, Zhen Zhen had already turned off the lights and fell asleep, Shen Ao crept in, took off his clothes and got into the bed, Zhen Zhen was startled, and when she felt the familiar chest, she said excitedly: "Husband...... Monarch......? ”

Shen Ao snorted and said in a low voice, "I'll accompany you, why is your body so cold?" With that, he hugged her tighter.

At this time, Shen Ao felt a tear drop on his hand, slowly sliding down, Shen Ao did not speak, just sighed deeply.

Zhen Zhen said: "Husband, now that I think of your poem, I know why that word is always tear-jerking. She whispered softly: "When you leave, you pull your shirt and ask when you will return it?" I want to go back and just wait for the peach blossoms and peach blossoms. A glass of wine was handed to her heart, kneeling in front of her eyes, and she instructed and instructed a thousand times: you must go down to the carved saddle when you meet the bridge...... "Her voice is beautiful and full of affection, and the words are very infectious, and after singing, the voice whimpered, and tears fell on Shen Ao's arm like rain.

Shen Ao patted her on the back and didn't speak, and when she finished crying, he said, "You cry like this, so I want to take you all to Hangzhou." ”

Zhen Zhen shook her head and said, "I have all gone to Hangzhou, who will take care of this family?" Besides, you're just a county lieutenant, and you've brought so many female dependents with you, what do your colleagues think of you? Go in peace, I just hope you can come back soon. ”

Shen Ao nodded heavily, buried his head on Zhen Zhen's chest, thought about his heart for a while, Zhen Zhen said: "The weather in Jiangnan is wet and cold, and it looks like winter is coming, you bring more clothes, I have ready the clothes, and a quilt, which was sent by my godfather as a dowry, the quilt is very warm, it is said to be sewn with fox fur, you also take it with you, now that you are an official, you can no longer mess around like before, there is not Bianjing, you can bear it if you can bear it, don't have any disputes with people, I know your surname, You don't care about anything when you play with your surname, and when you get angry in the future, just think about our family, okay? ”

Shen Ao agreed repeatedly, and said, "When the time comes, I will often ask people to send letters back home, and you don't have to worry too much." ”

Zhen Zhen burst into tears and smiled: "I remembered that when you said this, a letter was sent from the public mansion, saying that a friend surnamed Zeng sent it to you, and I will show you." Husband, I don't know when you will be able to see you again, I'm used to being alone, you don't have to worry about me, go to Miss Zhou and Miss Tang to have a look. ”

Shen Ao felt funny in his heart, Mo'er had already comforted him in the afternoon, and Zhou Ruo's surname who refused to suffer drove him here, but Zhen Zhen wanted to kick him back like a ball, and quickly shook his head and said, "I only accompany Zhen Zhen tonight." With that, he hugged her tightly, kissed her deeply on her white jade-like arm, turned over and straddled her, and said, "Zhenzhen, let's play a game, eagle catches chicken, how about it?" ”

As he spoke, he pounced on it like an eagle fighting a rabbit, and then giggled, which was both charming and moving.

…………………………………………………………………… The next morning, Zhen Zhen closed the door and changed clothes in the house, Shen Ao had already woken up, but pretended to be asleep, his eyes squinted a slit to peek, the slender and well-proportioned figure; The fat skin was like jade with his back to him, and his buttocks were towering, and Shen Ao was stunned for a while, and when Zhen Zhen put on her dress, she glanced back at Shen Ao: "What do you see?" ”

Hey, all this has been discovered? Shen Ao had no choice but to sit up, put on his shoes and get dressed, Zhen Zhen found a letter from the cabinet to him, Shen Ao took it, tore open the seal and looked at it, it turned out to be written by Zeng Sui'an to him, this letter should have been sent a month ago, to the effect that he said hello to himself, and asked himself if he was going to participate in the Autumn Festival, saying that he had a few books in his study, if Shen Ao needed it, he could go directly to the house to ask his father for it, and then said some things about his appointment, between the lines, with a bit of friendship, and added a little warmth like a brother teaching a younger brother.

Shen Ao smiled, the autumn has long passed, this letter was sent, he was about to go to work, and he was asked whether he participated in the autumn festival, he couldn't help sighing, the backward communication of this era made Shen Ao couldn't help but feel depressed, he went to Hangzhou in the future, but I was afraid that it would take a lot of trouble to send the letter to the family, it seems that the ancients parted again, not without reason.

Shen Ao said to Zhen Zhen: "I'll go and reply to Brother Zeng, and I'll eat breakfast later." ”

Shen Ao has a lot of things to say to Zeng Sui'an in his heart, Zeng Sui'an is his first friend, this affection is hooked up at this time, which makes Shen Ao's heart feel warm, and he can't wait to see this Zeng brother immediately; When I went back to the study, I immediately repaired a book, talked about the recent situation, and talked about my preparation to go to Renhe, while writing, I raised my eyes and thought about the wording, and it took half an hour to say everything I wanted to say, but it was thousands of words, half a pile of paper, I couldn't help but smile and asked Liu Sheng to send it.

In this era, the letter was naturally not sent to the post office, but entrusted to the car dealer or some chamber of commerce, and some honoraria was paid.

When I was free, Wu Bi had already sent news over there, saying that he was going to leave today, Shen Ao was busy sending him off, Xu Wei's family was not rich, so he only carried a burden, Wu Bi was different, there were two big cars, and three servants followed, and he only needed to play a fan.

Shen Ao came to send Wu Pen, Cheng Hui came to send Xu Wei, the four of them first found a wine shop and drank a few glasses of wine, cherished each other, and after saying goodbye, they sent Wu Bi and Xu Wei to the long pavilion outside the city.

Xu Wei was a little reluctant to take Wu Pen's car, but Wu Bi pleaded kindly, so he was moved, thanked him, and left in the same car with Wu Pen.

"Today they are gone, and in a few days it will be us." Cheng Hui's face was gloomy, and he looked at the carriage farther and farther away until it disappeared beyond the horizon, sighing.

Shen Ao smiled bitterly: "Please ask Dongliushui, don't care who you are short and long." Why should Brother Cheng be sentimental, if there is no pain of parting, how can there be the joy of chance encounter? Let's go! ”

Cheng Hui asked Shen Ao when he planned to leave, and Shen Ao remembered that Yang Jian said that it would be two days before Hua Shigang's fleet would return, so he said: "Later, at this time, please ask Brother Cheng to come to my house, and you and I will go together." ”

Cheng Hui thought about it, hesitated a little, and asked, "Should I inform that daylight?" Although this person is shameless, but we left first, is it ruthless? ”

Shen Ao smiled bitterly, neither nodding nor refusing.
