Chapter 420 Secret
Shen Qiu nodded after hearing this, but hesitated to speak.
Yao Shu had an intuition that he must be hiding something from her, but she hadn't asked yet yet, instead burying the matter in her heart.
In the afternoon, while everyone was on lunch break, Yao Shu sat in the courtyard and waited quietly for Shen Qiu.
She was right, Shen Qiu was carrying his luggage and preparing to leave.
"Boss, since when have you been hiding everything from your mother?"
Shen Qiu paused. He did not expect that Yao Shu would be waiting here. The expression on his face was stunned for a moment, then immediately put on a smile, full of flattery.
"Mom, I see that the weather is very nice today, and I want to go out for a walk. Why are you sitting here? Do you have something to ask me for?" Shen Qiu is not a stupid person, so he naturally understands that Yao Shu has something to say. Talk to yourself.
Yao Shu patted the chair next to her and motioned for him to sit over.
Shen Qiu bravely came to her side: "Mom, why are you so anxious?"
"I would like to ask you, where are you going with your luggage?"
Shen Qiu lowered his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "I thought that our family had no income these days when we came to the capital, and I was idle at home all the time. It was really hard to feel at ease, so I prepared to return to the military camp. Xiaocao is also getting older. I thought that sending her to a private school will inevitably cost money. In addition, I just learned a few days ago that Xiaocao’s mother is pregnant, and it will definitely cost money in the future. getting bigger."
Yao Shu was stunned for a moment, with a smile on her face: "Ms. Zhao is pregnant? This is a great thing. Why didn't you tell me?"
"Ms. Zhao wants to tell you after a period of time when she is more stable. She is also a little worried. After all, the family is not at peace during this period. If I are not allowed to return to the military camp, I will be worried day and night." Thinking of this, his face became more and more worried. .
Yao Shu understood his concerns. At his age, he should have achieved some success. So-called thirty years old, he now has a happy family, but his career has not yet been established. Although he has an official position, it is ultimately insignificant.
Shen Qiu desperately wanted to return to the military camp, just to continue to make contributions so that the Shen family could have a place.
The world is not peaceful now, and one day the Huns will attack again. Joining the army is the best way to build a career, but Yao Shu is really worried about his safety.
She looked at Shen Qiu seriously and said, "Mom, I know you are feeling uneasy, but now even General Ling is in the capital. If you return to the military camp alone, you don't know what the outside world will say to you."
In this world, rumors can ruin a person's reputation.
If the matter of Marquis Ning Yuan is not resolved, the Shen family will not be able to clear their suspicions for a day.
The emperor seemed to be letting the Shen family off, but in fact he was seizing the opportunity and preparing to catch them all.
Shen Qiu also understood this truth, but he really didn't know what to do.
"You will accompany me during this period of inspection in the capital. Your father and I are thinking of opening a restaurant in the capital. Our conditions will gradually improve in the future. I will help you solve the problem of Xiaocao going to a private school. You can go You should stay with them these days. If you return to the military camp in the future, it will be difficult to meet." Yao Shu calmed his emotions, then stood up and left.
Shen Qiu understood that Yao Shu was doing it for his own good. Although he was still anxious in his heart, he could barely feel relieved.
But Yao Shu always felt that Shen Qiu had other things he was hiding from her, so she followed his whereabouts with Shen Nanshan while he wasn't paying attention.
I saw him bringing the buns to a teahouse.
Shen Nanshan nodded approvingly: "I didn't expect that this kid is so particular about connotation now that he actually learned to taste tea."
"Do you believe it?"
Just these three words of rhetorical question left Shen Nanshan speechless.
The Shen family had never been exposed to such elegant things, let alone Shen Qiu, a former martial artist.
The two of them decided to wait quietly for him to come out. They thought it would take a long time, but they didn't expect that only half a stick of incense had passed before he walked out of the door with an annoyed look on his face.
At this moment, the package on his back had also disappeared.
Yao Shu saw with her own eyes that he put a few buns into the package in the morning, but there was absolutely nothing else.
He entered the teahouse and left the buns behind, which is really confusing.
"Did he bring steamed buns to the teahouse for dinner?" Shen Nanshan also felt strange.
Yao Shu did not respond, but quietly observed his whereabouts. I saw that he didn't linger too much, but walked directly in the direction of Shen's house.
It seemed that he had no other thoughts, which really made Yao Shu feel strange. She turned around and looked at Shen Nanshan, and she could see the confusion in the other person's eyes.
There must be something strange in the teahouse.
Just as he was about to step forward to check, he didn't expect to hear the sound of officers and soldiers running eagerly not far away.
The two people turned around and saw a group of officers and soldiers running towards them eagerly. Each of them had a saber on them. The leader was riding a horse with a serious and urgent look on his face.
They didn't stop, they just left.
He looked anxious, as if he was searching for someone.
There have been too many changes in the capital recently, and many wealthy families have been sealed off. Everyone is in panic, not knowing when it will be their turn.
Even if it is found to be a misunderstanding, it will naturally make people feel uncomfortable.
"Old lady, I always feel that it is often not a place where we can stay for a long time. After a while, if nothing happens again, we will go back to Zhangzhou City." Shen Nanshan looked serious and subconsciously held Yao Shu's sleeve.
"First of all, observe and observe. If we can gain a foothold in the capital, we will definitely become a wealthy family in the future. Investments are risky. If you want a better life, you cannot be afraid of taking risks." At this point, Yao Shu wants to become more and more interested. Enter the teahouse and investigate carefully.
She had heard before that many aristocratic children often gambled in teahouses. Although the teahouse in front of her was magnificent, Yao Shu always felt uneasy.
Could it be that Shen Qiu came all the way here just to eat steamed buns?
Yao Shu certainly didn't want to believe this statement.
When the family was having dinner together in the evening, Yao Shu mentioned the teahouse intentionally or unintentionally.
After several conversations, there was nothing strange about Shen Qiu, but Shen Jianan was a little embarrassed.
Although these expression changes were insignificant, they were still caught by Yao Shu very quickly.
After thinking about it carefully, Yao Shu then tried to say: "The investigation in the capital is strict these days. Don't do anything that violates the laws and regulations, so as not to bring trouble to the Shen family. In addition, if there is anything, you must tell me in time to avoid Something unexpected happened that shouldn’t have happened.”
"Mom, what can happen to us? Don't worry." Shen Qiu laughed and said.
