Chapter 306 Shen Huai'en's Jealousy
Chapter 306 Shen Huai'en's Jealousy
Shen Huai'en rolled his eyes at her coldly. She shut up when she shouldn't have. How tactless of her!
The maid shrank her neck. Butler Huai En's eyes were so scary. Would he kick her out?
Woo woo, I have to go find the girl and beg for mercy. She doesn’t want to leave here. If she goes home, her family will sell her to a dirty place.
Shen Huai'en stepped in, without any embarrassment of being caught eavesdropping. When he saw Gao Shiheng, his eyes were full of displeasure. He seemed to be idle, so what was he doing here?
There are so many things going on in the court, aren't you busy?
Shen Nanzhi introduced enthusiastically: "This is my butler, Shen Huai'en, who is my capable assistant.
Huai En, you're back just in time. This is Master Gao, the brother of Mrs. Gao, the county magistrate of Zhao County. I told you about him, right?"
"No, you are so busy, right? Hello, Mr. Gao. I see you have an extraordinary appearance. What does you do?"
Gao Shiheng also looked at Shen Huai'en and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, especially when he sat down. His manners were upright and his aura was lazy yet he had the composure of a superior. Could this be an ordinary butler?
It seems that the people around Miss Shen are not simple either.
"I am a government official, working as an idle official, earning a little salary and having no worries about food and drink."
"An idle official position? It seems to be quite leisurely."
Shen Huai'en fell silent after he finished speaking. Shen Nanzhi quickly livened up the atmosphere: "Mr. Gao, you're here just in time. We still have a lot of sheep from yesterday. Let's have hotpot and mutton soup and have a good meal. I'll go to the kitchen to check. Huai'en, please greet the guests and don't look so sullen."
Shen Huai'en was even more unwilling. Was Gao Shiheng worthy of his smiling face?
She really cared about this man so much that she even cooked for him herself to give him face.
As soon as she left, Gao Shiheng asked, "Have I seen Butler Shen somewhere?"
"Think carefully. If you can't think of anything, don't eat. The eldest son of the Gao family is not busy in the capital. Why did you come to a remote place at such a critical moment? What can the Gao family expect from you?"
Gao Shiheng was struck by lightning. This pair of familiar eyes turned out to be...
……
Shen Nanzhi prepared the food and invited them to the dining room to eat. Gao Shiheng looked more serious and ate very cautiously.
Looking at the table full of green vegetables, I was a little confused: "There are green vegetables at this time of year?"
"We all like to build a kang here. When the temperature rises, we can grow some easy-to-grow vegetables. We grow them ourselves. There aren't many, so we just enjoy them for their freshness."
"I see, that's great, I can't see it anywhere else."
"It's okay, you can learn it and raise it when you return home. There are people in our village who have installed floor heating and grow vegetables. They can earn a good income in the winter.
We certainly don’t lack vegetables at home. If Master Gao likes them, we’ll give them to you every day. We don’t have other delicacies, but we have plenty of fresh vegetables.”
Shen Huai'en said, "Master Gao still has official duties to attend to, so how can he stay here forever? Don't you think so, Master Gao?"
Gao Shiheng said quickly: "Yes, I have to leave tomorrow. When you go to the capital in the future, remember to come to Gao's house. I will treat you well."
"Go to the capital? Of course, when my business grows, I will definitely go to the capital to see how prosperous the emperor's feet are."
"You're welcome anytime, you have to go."
The soup base of the hot pot was also very delicious, better than what Gao Shiheng had at home, and he ate a lot without realizing it.
In such a simple little place, it seems like they live a pretty good life.
No wonder this person was reluctant to leave, it turns out he had something on his mind.
It’s a pity that if I don’t leave now, the court will be in chaos.
After the meal, two large cars full of gifts were left behind. Gao Shiheng only stayed for one night, but was still dragged by Shen Huai'en to chat until late at night. He left the next day with dark circles under his eyes.
Shen Nanzhi was a little reluctant to leave, "Is Master Gao so busy? I want to stay for a few more days and take him around."
Shen Huai'en was jealous: "A grown man doesn't like shopping, what's the good thing? Why are you so enthusiastic about him?"
"They gave me so many gifts, I shouldn't treat them well. Why are you being so competitive today? They are handsome and have a good family background, you are not jealous, are you?"
Shen Huai'en laughed: "I would be jealous of him? What do you mean by that? He looks just like that, why do you mean that?
I don't like to speak ill of people behind their backs, but I have to make it clear to you that this person has started a family, so don't worry about him."
"Has he started a family? Of course he should. At his age, his children are probably grown up. In a few years, he will become a grandfather, right?"
Shen Huai'en suddenly became happy, "Yes, yes, his eldest son is ten years old. He can get married in five years, so he will be a grandfather, right?
Oh my, he is an old man. "
"Well, men are in their prime at forty-one, and the older they get, the more they care for others. Otherwise, why do they say that an eighty-year-old man is better than an eighteen-year-old woman, or that a pear blossom outshines a crabapple blossom?"
Shen Huai'en's face turned black: "Where did you hear these nonsense? Aren't you ashamed?"
"Why are you ashamed? I'm just curious about that 80-year-old man... Ahem, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to ask the county magistrate for marriage. This is a big deal. Go and do your thing."
Shen Huai'en felt helpless when he saw her leaving in a hurry. This girl didn't care about whether she ate meat or vegetables. Who could stand it?
Perhaps he is the only one who can sacrifice himself and bear this disaster?
……
Mr. Xu was flattered that the county magistrate came forward. He once again marveled at Shen Nanzhi's extensive network of contacts. He actually invited the county magistrate. What else could he complain about?
So the marriage was set in stone, the engagement letter was exchanged on the spot, and after waiting for the horoscopes to match, they decided on the wedding date and began preparing for it.
Shen Nanzhi also helped her aunt-in-law prepare for the wedding and got to know the ancient wedding process. She happily participated and watched the excitement.
In addition to Zhu Xiaomei and Liao Baojia's wedding, she had to attend two events, so she had things to do until the New Year.
Xu Saifei bought a house in the county town, which was just one street away from Shen Nanzhi's home, so the two became neighbors.
Taking advantage of the cheap prices of houses and shops on the market, Shen Nanzhi also bought a few. Just like in his previous life, he would buy houses whenever he had spare money. Chinese people have an innate obsession with houses, and they will never have too many houses no matter what time it is.
Liao Baojia was busy harvesting and selling vegetables, so he was a little overwhelmed with the wedding affairs. Shen Nanzhi took the initiative to help, just as a way to practice in advance.
Anyway, one family is preparing, both families are preparing, just buy double the items. Planning a wedding may seem cumbersome, but in fact, everything can be solved if the money is in place.
Shen Nanzhi was excitedly preparing for the wedding, but Jin Xuan'er was unwilling to accept it. Zhu Xiaomei just got a good marriage, but she didn't want to play with her anymore.
What do you mean, do you look down on yourself?
