Chapter 312 Want to Learn How to Use a Whip
Grand Tutor Zhou felt unwell; he even lost his appetite for pork jerky.
When Cao'er came to the capital, she surprisingly didn't stay at his house.
Which friend's house should I stay at?
They've already moved all their luggage over.
Goodness, he's even faster than him.
The pork jerky in his hand suddenly didn't smell good anymore.
Where does Cao'er's friend live? Can he come over for a free meal?
Seemingly sensing Grand Tutor Zhou's sadness, Shen Cao mysteriously walked up to him and whispered something in his ear.
His mood immediately brightened, and he started to laugh.
Hehe, I'll be able to eat the food that Cao'er made herself in no time.
Braised pork belly, sweet and sour pork ribs, ...
Moreover, Cao'er said that she would only stay at her friend's house for a few days and would need to find a house near the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
Grand Tutor Zhou was delighted; he finally remembered the purpose of Shen Cao's visit today.
After finishing the pork jerky in his hand, he sucked the sesame seeds off his fingers, took out a handkerchief to wipe the oil off his mouth and hands, and then slowly began to speak.
"Cao'er, you don't need to worry. I've had the imperial physician examine Chen'er, and he's already recovered. He's just a little weak lately, but after a few more days of rest, he'll be lively and energetic again."
Shen Cao "..."
She remembered that her older brother wasn't the lively, energetic type.
"Grand Tutor Zhou, could you take us to see our elder brother? We haven't seen him for months and miss him terribly."
Before Grand Tutor Zhou could speak, Ye Shu raised her hand and said with great interest, "I'll take you to find Shen Chen."
"I'll take you there." As if afraid that Shen Cao and the others hadn't heard her clearly, Ye Shu repeated herself.
"Didn't you have something to do today?" Grand Tutor Zhou rolled his eyes at Ye Shu. Who was it that came to ask for leave just now, saying that his elders wanted to set him up on a blind date and that he needed to go out and hide?
Ye Shu grinned, revealing his big white teeth, "Hehe, since Miss Cao'er is here, nothing else matters, nothing at all."
He had just overheard what Miss Cao'er was whispering to Grand Tutor Zhou: at noon, Miss Cao'er would personally cook a delicious meal for Grand Tutor Zhou.
How could he possibly miss it?
After passing through the back garden and following the pebble path through several courtyards, Ye Shu led Shen Cao and the others to a courtyard gate.
"This is the courtyard where Shen Chen lives."
Shen Cao looked at the courtyard where her elder brother lived. It was quiet and elegant, and there was a fruit tree in the courtyard.
Before the group could even enter, a familiar and pleasant voice came from inside the room.
"Has Brother Shen's sister arrived?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the curtain at the door was pulled open from the inside.
A woman dressed in a neat red riding outfit and with her hair tied up high stepped out.
It's her! Shen Qing was somewhat surprised. This person was actually the older sister who had wielded the whip so skillfully at Xiangmanlou that day.
Unexpectedly, she knew her older brother.
He'll ask his older brother later if this older sister can teach him how to use the whip.
When Shen Cao saw who it was, she smiled knowingly.
That dashing young lady—she certainly hadn't mistaken her for someone else.
"This is Zhou Zhou, the granddaughter of Grand Tutor Zhou."
Ye Shu introduced the two parties.
"This is Shen Chen's younger sister, Shen Cao, and the other one is Shen Chen's younger brother, Shen Qing."
"Hello, Miss Zhou!"
"Greetings, Miss Shen!"
"Greetings, Young Master Shen!"
Zhou Zhou looked at Shen Chen's younger sister and brother with some curiosity. The younger sister didn't look like Shen Chen, but she inexplicably gave people a sense of familiarity.
This younger brother looks a bit like him, but why does he seem to look at him with a rather enthusiastic gaze?
It seemed like there was something about her that he was very interested in.
But the look in his eyes wasn't one of greedy possession, but rather one full of appreciation.
"Shen Chen just got up. If you want to see him, you can go in." She stopped scrutinizing him and said, "I still need to go to the kitchen to check on the medicine being prepared, so I won't stay with you for now."
After saying that, she left with her maid.
Ye Shu led them into Shen Chen's room.
Perhaps hearing the commotion outside, Shen Chen greeted them as soon as they entered.
"Cao'er! Qing'er!"
"Big brother!"
"Big Brother!!"
The three embraced and wept, while Ye Shu quietly left, leaving the three of them alone.
The incense burner on the table was still filled with lingering smoke.
After tidying themselves up, the three sat on the soft couch. Shen Chen leaned against the right, Shen Cao sat on the left, and Shen Qing moved a stool and sat next to Shen Chen.
“Brother, you look stronger than before,” Shen Qing said, looking at his older brother.
Although Shen Chen had just recovered from a serious illness, he looked much stronger than before.
Shen Qing thought of the person who forced her and her to do morning exercises at the courtyard gate every day. A smile appeared on her lips, and a blush quickly flashed across her face.
"How was your journey? Did you encounter any trouble?"
Shen Cao shook her head, "I had Guard Li with me the whole way, so we didn't encounter any problems."
How are my parents?
“My parents are both fine, but they were worried about you, and I was worried about you too, so I came with my sister.”
Shen Qing rested his elbows on the soft couch, propped his chin on his hands, and looked at Shen Chen as he spoke.
Shen Chen gently poked his forehead with his finger. "Cao'er told me everything about you in the letter. This is a one-time thing, and there won't be a next time."
"Oh!"
"By the way, big brother, are you familiar with that formidable woman?"
Shen Chen, "?"
"That's Zhou Zhou, the girl who just walked out of your room!"
Shen Cao recounted to Shen Chen what she had seen Zhou Zhou at Xiangmanlou.
Shen Chen's face darkened as he remembered one person: "The Vice Minister of Revenue, is that right? It's the father's fault for not raising his child properly."
Years later, the Vice Minister of Revenue was still puzzled after being tricked by Shen Chen. He didn't know Shen Chen well, so why was he being targeted like this?
"My sister is so good at wielding the whip. I wonder where she learned it. I wish I could do it too."
Shen Qing's eyes lit up as he looked at his elder brother with great anticipation.
Shen Chen ignored him.
This kid doesn't seem to be up to anything. If he agrees, he'll have an excuse not to go back for the time being.
He doesn't know him yet.
……
In Shifeng Village, Sun Guixiang's wedding was a lively affair that lasted for three days.
For the past three days, Ji Lingfeng has not left his room.
He Yu managed to find a job and successfully stayed on.
Sun Chuang was overjoyed to have found a good son-in-law.
The doctor said that the hunter who saved his life had recovered completely and came to see him early this morning.
"Chief Sun, I'm fully recovered now, so I won't trouble you any further."
"Send someone to escort me out today!"
Sun Chuang waved his hand, "Young man, no rush. Look, your external injuries haven't healed yet. Let's talk about it when you're better."
"By the way, young man, I still don't know how to address you."
"Chief Sun, just call me Xiao Shi."
"Brother Xiao Shi, you did save my life, so just stay here and rest until you're fully recovered."
"Could it be that you're in such a hurry to go back because something's happened at home?" Sun Chuang looked him up and down.
