Chapter 6 Colleagues are enemies

The repeated anomalies made him suspect that she had ulterior motives.

In order to verify her idea, Shen Muyin was the first to stand up and support her.

As the person involved, Mrs. Shen was indifferent, and even took it for granted. She also got through it this way, and Li Erya was not as good as her.

And Shen Muchi felt that his younger brother had agreed. Although he felt sorry for his sister, he couldn't say anything else, so he chose to agree to let Li Erya follow him into the city.

Shen Qingrou disagreed, but she could not stand alone and immediately called her mother to intercede for her. However, Mrs. Shen could see the thoughts of the person next to her at a glance and persuaded her daughter.

"Just let her go." Shen Nanzhou was afraid that she would lose her dignity if she continued to make trouble, so he expressed his position on the spot.

Li Erya then raised his head, thanked her happily, and then avoided Shen Qingrou's dissatisfied gaze with a guilty conscience, and diligently took over the housework.

"Seeing the usually silent look, I didn't expect to be so scheming. After all, it's because I'm young. I've only been married for a few days and I can't hide my fox's tail." Shen Qingrou snorted coldly.

"Qing Rou." Mrs. Shen blushed and reminded in a low voice. She glanced at Shen Nanzhou uneasily and pulled her daughter into the room to persuade her.

Li Erya got the result she wanted and didn't care what they thought. When she saw Shen Qingrou who was treating her politely, she just froze for a moment and then thought about it, just pretending that nothing had happened.

But Shen Muyin looked at her with a more probing look, just because she insisted on following them into the city?

Although it was somewhat suspicious, she couldn't care about that much and could only pretend to do things as if nothing had happened. Except for Mrs. Shen and Shen Qingrou, the three men in the Shen family were all foxes, so they made many mistakes.

Finally, when they got on the small hair stove heading into the city, Li Erya held the basket and sat motionless, for fear of accidentally injuring the ginseng in her arms.

"Can these herbs... medicines really be exchanged for money?" Seeing that the atmosphere was really dull, Shen Muci couldn't help but ask.

"It should be okay." Li Erya glanced at the mugwort, prunella vulgaris and loquat leaves in the basket. Even though the quantity was not large, he didn't know if they wanted it.

The atmosphere was awkward again. Shen Muchi continued to talk, but was stopped by a look from his father.

Li Erya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and gave up the small hair stove to Shen Muyin in an official manner.

Shen Muyin also looked at his father's face, and only dared to sit on the donkey when he saw that he had no objection.

Li Erya followed the donkey leisurely.

After about an hour, they arrived at the county town. The city gate was a bit dilapidated, and the soldiers guarding the city gate looked to be in their thirties or forties.

Two of them, one with a fat head and big ears and a red face, and the other with a lean and dark face, gathered around Shen Nanzhou to greet him, and even asked when Shen Muci planned to take the scholar examination.

"Next year." Shen Nanzhou glanced at Shen Muci, looking dissatisfied.

Shen Mici already had a good idea in his mind, but he kept in mind his father's teachings and knew not to be too showy, so he spoke modestly and said that he still had shortcomings.

Shen Muyin frowned again. If he couldn't get rid of the idea of ​​taking the county examination, he didn't know if he could avoid the tragedy in advance or by refusing to go out.

Li Erya, who was secretly watching all this, started to murmur in his heart again. Looking at Shen Muyin's thoughtful look, he didn't know whether to say that he was precocious or what to say.

As if the soul had withdrawn from the body and was examining the fate of himself and others, Li Erya was startled by the sudden thought.

She was shocked again when she met Shen Muyin's gaze. Li Erya thought it was okay not to provoke the little fox, but he was almost scared out of his wits.

The two guilty people turned their faces away in unison.

Seeing that Shen Nanzhou was hesitant to speak and never revealed her identity, Li Erya silently distanced herself from them to avoid being questioned and causing them embarrassment.

The other party probably thought she was a maid of the Shen family. They didn't even look at her again until the greetings were over. Li Erya still kept a distance from them.

It was intentional at first, but gradually attracted by the hustle and bustle, Li Erya secretly wrote down the vendors' quotations and the buyers' counter-offers, and for a moment, he didn't realize that he had distanced himself from them.

Shen Muyin turned his head and glanced, and saw that she looked like she had never seen the world before, and his expression became even more disgusting. He was too embarrassed to remind her out loud, so he only gave her a wink to hurry up and follow her.

Li Erya felt relieved and quickened his pace, but continued to pay attention to the movements around him.

"Go to the bookstore first." Shen Nanzhou said softly when he saw Li Erya stopping in front of the medical center.

"Can I wait for you here? I'm illiterate. It's weird to go to the bookstore. I swear I will never run around." Li Erya twisted his sleeves nervously.

Shen Nanzhou was stunned for a moment. It was a bit strange for the three men to take her to the bookstore. When someone asked, he didn't know how to introduce her identity. He nodded after a moment.

Li Erya thanked her repeatedly and walked into the Huichun Hall with cheerful steps.

The three big words "Huichun Hall" made Shen Muyin a little jealous. He also wanted to go in and see his wife in his previous life, but he was pulled away by his brother and was reminded not to forget to study when he had a wife.

Shen Muyin rolled her eyes at him. Who said he couldn't bear to let go of that country girl Li Erya? He was just thinking about how to remind his father that Su Ling's life experience was problematic.

Thinking of this, Shen Muyin quickly caught up with his father and asked pretending to be curious, "Dad, the Huichun Hall seems to be newly opened. Is there also a Huichun Hall in Qidu?"

Shen Nanzhou's heart skipped a beat, Huichun Hall?

Perhaps it was just a coincidence, Shen Nanzhou said "hmm" and continued to rush to the bookstore.

Shen Muyin had no choice but to follow.

However, Li Erya, who was supposed to enter the Huichun Hall, quickly slipped out after they left, dressed up like a boy, and then walked into the Huichun Hall with great swagger.

There was already a young man inside selling his century-old wild ginseng to the shopkeeper, saying that his family had fallen into decline and had to sell this treasure.

Li Erya couldn't help but stepped forward, but was pulled away before he could take a closer look.

"Come on, come on, where did this wild child come from? You can see this? If it gets damaged, you can't afford to pay for it." The apprentice muttered and asked him whether he was here to buy medicine or to see a doctor.

"No, it's a coincidence. I also want to sell wild ginseng." Li Erya thought carefully and discovered the clue. She smiled at the young master and turned a blind eye to his dissatisfaction. After all, they were enemies in the same industry.

She broke free from her apprentice's hand and carefully took out the wild ginseng. She took a few steps forward and said to the shopkeeper, "Your medical clinic has just opened. Four or five years of wild ginseng is enough."

"You!" The young master saw that a wild boy like him dared to rob his business, and he was about to get angry, but when he met those eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he felt guilty.

After a while, he regained his composure. Even his father, an old expert, had lost his sight. How could a country boy tell that the ginseng was fake? Huang Xingye continued to lobby the shopkeeper to buy the ginseng. If he couldn't sell it, he could just turn it into a store. The treasure is also fine.
