Chapter 2202: Spring is not too late
The wind blew by the river, blowing the clothes of the two people.
Mingchen raised his eyebrows, raised the hand that had just sprinkled the powder, and held it in front of his eyes, "You ask this?"
Shi Li's eyes followed the movement of his hand and she nodded eagerly.
Then Mingchen threw a small porcelain bottle to her through the air.
"Ground meat and bone meal, I'll give it to you!"
Shi Li took the porcelain bottle, immediately poured some into her palm, and then sprinkled it into the river. Sure enough, the fish smelled the scent and swam over.
Her attention was completely attracted by the river fish, and her mind was full of thoughts about how if she had a fishing rod, she would definitely be able to catch a big fish even if she didn't know how to fish.
Mingchen had no interest in river fish. He was the youngest in the family and was always the one being teased and played with. Now, he could make Shi Li so happy with just a little meat and bone meal, and he actually felt a sense of accomplishment.
This is completely different from his usual study of books and military strategies.
It’s a pity that his mother didn’t give him a younger sister, otherwise he would have had a lot more fun in his life.
After staying there for another day, the group finally set off again.
The previous boat could no longer carry the passengers, and after this accident, Ming Lian was afraid of further trouble, so he rented a larger boat and no longer traveled in separate boats.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth and peaceful, and we arrived in the capital safely.
When the boat arrived at the dock, Shi Li walked out of the cabin and saw from afar a group of well-dressed servants waiting on the shore, and two sedan chairs parked not far away.
Looking around, they saw only their boat on the water.
Then those people were probably sent by the Fang family to pick them up.
Shi Li had a deep prejudice against the Fang family, and was not happy to see their huge presence. Instead, she turned to see Ming Lian, bowed solemnly to him, thanked him and expressed gratitude for his care along the way.
Ming Lian smiled gently, and he was relieved that he had successfully sent the person to the capital. Facing this generous and polite little girl, he liked her very much.
With a big wave of his hand, he said to Shi Li: "When I have time in the future, I will ask my wife to take you to the mansion to play. If you have any problems, just ask someone to pass the message. Don't be polite with me!"
Shi Li listened with a smile, and then thanked him again. Although the original plot did not mention that the Ming family had such a deep relationship with Shi Mufeng, it was definitely a good thing for her.
Ming Lian’s wife is of noble status. She and Shi Yu live in Fang’s house, and she might really need her help in the future.
Mingchen stood behind Minglian and didn't say anything.
After Shi Li left, she asked her father, "Why didn't you send them to the Fang Mansion?"
"The Fang family has sent people to wait at the dock. If we interfere, it would be like we are meddling in other people's business. She is our grandmother." Ming Lian looked at his son with some surprise. He didn't expect him to be so concerned.
Mingchen didn't ask any more questions, but just lowered his head and stopped talking.
After Shi Li and Shi Yu got ashore, they were surrounded by the Fang family and sat in a sedan chair, all the way to the Fang family.
During this time, he heard about the prosperity of the capital city outside, and when he got off the sedan chair, he also saw the magnificent door lintel of the Fang Mansion, which was exactly the same as in the original plot.
After entering the door, Shi Yu followed Shi Li closely. After all, she was a six-year-old girl, and when her relatives were around, she subconsciously wanted to rely on them.
When the two were led to their grandmother by the servants of the Fang mansion, before they could even greet each other, Old Madam Fang hugged them one by one and cried bitterly.
Other people present also shed tears, and the scene was very touching.
As Madam Fang slowly calmed down, the others also stopped crying. It seemed as if they had discussed it beforehand and there wasn't much sincerity in their crying.
At this time, Mrs. Fang finally took a serious look at her two granddaughters. She looked them up and down with a kind and shrewd look, and said with red eyes: "It is indeed Yu'er's daughter. She looks exactly like Yu'er when she was a child."
Everyone then echoed and praised Shi Li and Shi Yu, praising them as three times more outstanding than the fairies in the sky.
After the greetings were almost over, Mrs. Fang turned her gaze to her housekeeper and daughter-in-law, "Where are we going to give the two girls a place to stay?"
Mrs. Fang quickly stood up and replied, "The guest garden has been cleaned up. You two girls can choose whichever courtyard you like and stay there."
But Old Madam Fang just turned cold and expressed her dissatisfaction to Madam Fang regardless of the presence of the younger generation.
"What guest garden? Are Li'er and Yu'er guests? Since there is no good courtyard, let them live with me!"
Mrs. Fang's face turned pale and blue, and she stood there not daring to answer.
Shi Yu blinked, not knowing how to start the conversation at this moment. However, she knew in her heart that it was not good for them to implicate her aunt and get scolded just after they arrived at Fang's house.
Shi Li was also not easy to talk to, but at this time the importance of Grandma Gu was revealed.
In the original plot, Shi Yu did not have such a person by his side and could only let Old Madam Fang arrange things for him, but now it is different.
Since Nanny Gu was born in the royal palace, no one could refute her if she spoke at this time.
