Chapter 377: come to the door
While they were talking, a servant came to report that the uncle of the Shen family was here and was waiting in the lobby.
They were in the backyard now, and Pei Xiu quickly got up and took the three brothers with Princess Xuexi.
Seeing that this uncle of the Shen family was indeed Shen Yuanxiu, whom they met in Ning County the year before, he was middle-aged and still gentle and elegant, and he could not see that he was a philistine businessman at all.
Next to him was a pale boy, who should be the child of the sunset. He was curiously looking at the Zhou brothers who saved him.
Master Shen led the little boy to stand up and bowed to Pei Xiu, and then to Princess Xuexi.
"Mrs. Zhou, the county master, Mr. Shen is abrupt. Today, she brought her child to the door to thank the two young masters of the Zhou family for helping my son's master and servant at Daming Lake a few days ago, so that they can survive." He finished. Instruct the entourage to present the generous gift.
Pei Xiu looked at the tall gift boxes stacked on the table beside him, and quickly said: "Master Shen is very polite, it's just a little effort, I happen to meet you by chance, and I happen to know water. I don't want to repay the kindness, please take it back. ."
"No, the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, let alone the grace of saving life. These external things are not enough to repay the grace of saving life. They are just gifts from the Shen family to express their gratitude. Please accept Mrs. Zhou. Nine.."
After he finished speaking, he motioned his son beside him to thank the Zhou brothers.
The little boy had just recovered from a serious illness, and his face was still pale, but he was polite and courteous at a young age. He said to the Zhou brothers with a grateful expression, "Thanks to the Zhou brothers for their life-saving grace, Xiao Jiu is very grateful."
After the three brothers of the Zhou family returned a salute, the eldest said politely, "Young Master Ninth is polite, I'm just doing my best to wait..."
"For you, it's an effort, but for me, it's a gift of life. Xiaojiu is also the love of his parents, a treasure in his palm. This time he fell into the water and scared his father. What's the accident, how should my parents be sad? Pain. You are my benefactors."
Seeing him being so serious, the boss doesn't know what to say.
"Uh... Are you feeling better? Why didn't you go to bed and go out so soon?"
"I'm already much better, and my health is not much. I'll be fine after a few days of recuperation. My father said that for the savior, he must meet and thank him in person before he can be sincere."
Pei Xiu took over the words and said with a smile, "These are all empty courtesy. Master Shen should let the Ninth Young Master have a good rest. Your body is the most important thing. It doesn't matter when you thank him."
Uncle Shen patted Xiaojiu's head and said, "The doctor also said that he can get out of bed and walk around, he doesn't have to rest in bed, it's better to do some exercise, not to mention that we have delayed coming to the door to thank him very late. Shen has been patrolling the surrounding shops. , I just returned to Beijing three days ago, and only after hearing the report from the housekeeper, did I hand over the post, which is really embarrassing."
"It's alright, we don't talk about these rhetoric."
Mr. Shen smiled again and said, "I haven't congratulated Mrs. Zhou yet. Ruyang City has won the victory and the first fief has been recovered. Lord Zhou is really brave and resourceful. , Thirty years Hedong, thirty years Hexi, this is true at all."
Pei Xiu also smiled: "Thanks to Uncle Shen for taking care of us at the beginning, when we were in the country, we sent our prey to Zuixianglou, and the shopkeeper gave us a good price in your favor, so we can be safe in the country. Live the day."
"This is just a trivial matter, Mr. Zhou, and Mrs. Zhou don't have to take it to heart. You have come to terms with all your hardships, and there is still a great future waiting for Mr. Zhou. Shen will rely on Mr. Zhou to take care of you in the future."
Uncle Shen is very talkative, and what he says makes people feel happy.
She laughed and shook her head, "Shen's family is big and prosperous, and Uncle Shen is worrying too much."
"I borrowed Mrs. Ji's words. The child's name is Shen Huaitang, and he is the ninth member of the family. After he recovers, he will be sent to Yunzhong Academy to study. At that time, I will trouble Young Master Zhou to take care of him."
Pei Xiu thought it was strange. The base camp of the Shen family was in Yanyun Prefecture. Why did he suddenly put his youngest son in the capital to study?
But it's nothing, it's just a friend of the younger generation, she nodded: "They just went to Yunzhong Academy not long ago, so it's not a matter of taking care of each other, but they can take care of each other."
"Thank you very much. There is also a gift here for Princess Xuexi. The servant said that you were also present, and originally wanted the Zhou family to hand it over. It would be great to see you today, please accept it. "
After speaking, he asked the servants to deliver another gift to Princess Xuexi.
Princess Xuexi was surprised, "Ah, I have it too, I didn't do anything."
"You and the young master of the Zhou family were both present, so it must be your share. Mr. Shen from Shilang Zhang's mansion also sent a gift."
After he finished speaking, he said goodbye to Pei Xiu without waiting for Princess Xuexi to refuse, "I have been disturbed for a long time today, so Shen will leave first, and when Lord Zhou returns, Shen will come to congratulate him again."
She got up and gave a salute, "Okay, let's borrow Uncle Shen's auspicious words, and the housekeeper will send Uncle Shen and his son out."
After the three brothers and others walked away, they all gathered around Princess Xuexi without looking at the generous gifts they received.
The boss said rudely: "Do you count as having a share in what you see? UU Reading has touched our light."
Cai Wei smiled and said, "The Shen family is really impeccable in their work. It's no wonder that they started their business by raising horses and their business has grown bigger and bigger."
Pei Xiu also thinks so, not only because of their presence, but also because of their identities, they want to form a good relationship, anyway, the Shen family is not bad for money.
"I've made some windfall money. I'll invite you to eat something delicious later. You can order whatever you want. Zhuangyuan Lou Zuixianlou is up to you to choose."
Princess Xuexi was also really surprised, and said with arrogance, it was an unexpected wealth anyway, and he happily borrowed flowers to offer Buddha.
"Okay, you are the richest anyway. Today, everyone is open to eat, but it's a pity that Zhou Shan has no luck."
"We can pack it for him. The duck near us is absolutely delicious. He must have never eaten it. We will pack two for him later."
"We can eat duck later, and then have a big meal in the afternoon." After the third child finished speaking, he told his mother, "Mother, let the kitchen not cook our meals at night."
"understood."
"It's me who paid, why don't you ask my opinion? Don't you get tired of eating roast duck every three days?"
The second child: "That's you, we've only eaten it once. We don't eat twice every three days. It's not greasy, and we all love to eat meat, eat meat, and grow taller!"
Princess Xuexi rolled her eyes, then she would just eat the duck's head and duck's claws. She learned badly from them, and rolled her eyes to learn it.
"Let's take it apart and see what's there?"
