Chapter 198 Consideration
"But I have some information that will definitely be useful to you." Chen Cai raised two fingers, "It only costs twenty taels."
After saying that, he even winked at Shang Wan.
Shang Wan felt that it was an eyesore, so he pulled Xiao Huan and turned away, raising his other hand and waving it behind him, "Leave the shop to me, I'll find you tomorrow."
Chen Cai: “…”
I'll just scratch you to death!
Xiao Huan glanced back and asked Shang Wan: "Sister, aren't you curious about what the news is?"
"Curiosity kills the cat." Shang Wan said, "It has little to do with us anyway, so it's better not to know."
A piece of information is sold for twenty taels, why doesn't Mr. Chen go and grab it?
Her money didn't come from the wind!
Well… at least not in part.
The two went to a restaurant to have lunch, and Shang Wan drove the ox cart to the Qiao Mansion.
Qiao Yu'an was at home, and when he heard the doorman's report, he hurried out.
"I was just about to send Ah Le to look for you." Qiao Yu'an glanced at the ox cart, "Why isn't Cheng Jing with you?"
"My husband is studying at home." Shang Wan said, "Do you have something to do with him?"
Qiao Yu'an: "It's not me, it's Master Chu. Master Chu wants Cheng Jing to help him draw a picture of walking in the snow."
Shang Wan: "Where's the reward?"
Qiao Yu'an choked. He really didn't ask this question.
“Painting takes a lot of time and effort, it can’t be done in vain, right?”
Qiao Yu'an thought for a moment and said, "Go back and tell Cheng Jing first. I'll ask Master Chu and then let A Le tell you."
"Okay." Shang Wan nodded.
After talking about this matter, Qiao Yu'an asked Shang Wan what he wanted to do.
Shang Wan didn't keep the secret and asked, "How is Sang Qi?"
"My people have been keeping an eye on him." Qiao Yu'an said, "He went to the Lu Mansion twice, and then returned to the escort agency. Everything was going on as usual."
Shang Wan looked at him and said, "I heard that the Lu family is moving to the capital."
Qiao Yu'an was shocked and asked in astonishment, "When?"
"In the past two days, everyone has started packing up their belongings." Shang Wan asked, "Given the relationship between the Qiao and Lu families, didn't you hear any news?"
Qiao Yu'an shook his head, "I've been staying in the county school recently and haven't heard of it."
Shang Wan narrowed his eyes and looked at him suspiciously.
Qiao Yu'an's gaze made her scalp tingle and she felt uncomfortable all over.
"What are you looking at?"
"Nothing." Shang Wan retracted his gaze and asked, "Do you have anything else to do?"
"No."
"Oh, let's go." Shang Wan waved at him and drove away in the ox cart.
Qiao Yu'an did not delay and quickly sent someone to the Lu Mansion to inquire about the news.
He had a hunch that the Lu family's move had something to do with the villa that Lu Chengjing asked him to help keep an eye on.
……
……
Return home in the hot sun.
As soon as Shang Wan stepped into the yard, he felt a lump of meat on his legs.
"Mom!" The little baby had just taken a bath. His little face was rosy and the soft hair on his head was still wet. He happily hugged Shang Wan's legs and rubbed against them.
Shang Wan had things in both hands so he didn't have any free hands to hold her. Yuanyuan didn't pick it up. She sat her little butt on Shang Wan's feet, and held Shang Wan's legs tightly with her two little hands, acting as a pendant steadily.
Shang Wan: “…”
Fine.
Shang Wan dragged the sweet burden on her feet into the kitchen, put the things on the chopping board, and then had her hands free to hold the baby.
Yuanyuan twisted her little body and wanted to play.
Shang Wan doted on his baby, and he dragged the baby to the bedroom again.
Lu Chengjing was indeed in the bedroom.
He had just been giving Yuanyuan a bath, and Yuanyuan splashed water all over him while playing, getting his clothes wet. He was changing clothes in the room.
As soon as Shang Wan entered, he saw a snow-white back. The fox seemed to have grown some flesh.
The person who came in didn't knock on the door, and Lu Chengjing knew it was Shang Wan.
He tied his belt and turned around. He saw the little baby twisting and turning at Shang Wan's feet, and the corners of his lips curled up helplessly.
Yuanyuan raised her little hand and waved towards Lu Chengjing, wanting her dad to play the game with her.
Lu Chengjing: “…”
He took a clean handkerchief, picked up Yuanyuan, and wiped the baby's hair.
Shang Wan walked behind the screen, changed into casual clothes, untied her hairband, let her long black hair loose, and walked out while combing her hair.
Lu Chengjing reached out and poured her a cup of herbal tea.
Shang Wan tied her hair up again and drank her herbal tea from a cup.
With her there to calm her down, Yuanyuan didn't dare to make too much noise with her father and obediently let her father wipe her hair.
As he was wiping, the little guy opened his mouth and yawned, his eyelids drooped, and he fell asleep in a daze.
Shang Wan poked her cheek with his finger; it was soft, like dough.
The baby was drooling from being poked by his mother, but the mother had no awareness at all and kept poking, pinching and playing with him.
Perhaps she was annoyed by the noise, Yuanyuan opened her mouth, and made a sound by instinct, almost biting Shang Wan's finger.
Shang Wan: “…”
What a fierce boy.
Lu Chengjing pursed his lips to hold back his laughter, wiped the saliva from Yuanyuan's mouth, and carried her to the crib to sleep.
After waiting for people to come out, Shang Wan asked, "Why didn't Yuanyuan take a nap?"
"Shitou took her to the mountains to look for ginseng. They walked quite far and were late for lunch. It was not easy to sleep right after lunch, so I coaxed her to play. It was just the right time for her to sleep."
Shang Wan nodded and asked, "Did you find the ginseng?"
"We found two ginsengs. Shitou was worried that the ginsengs would run away, so he tied them to the tree trunk with a red string."
Shang Wan was helpless. Ginseng doesn’t really have legs, so how could it run?
"Where are the seeds?"
"It's not ripe yet." Lu Chengjing picked up the fan beside him and fanned Shang Wan. "It's recorded in the book that ginseng seeds mature from late July to October and are usually harvested in autumn."
Shang Wan nodded and made note of it.
Now that she has more spiritual fields, she can easily spare a piece to grow ginseng.
"Qiao Yu'an asked me to tell you that Mr. Chu from the county school wants you to help paint a picture of walking on the snow. He didn't ask for the reward. He will send someone to deliver the letter after he has asked."
Shang Wan poured himself another cup of herbal tea and looked at Lu Chengjing, "Do you know that Master Chu?"
Lu Chengjing shook his head. When he was studying in the county school, Mr. Chu had not come to the school yet.
"Then why did he suddenly ask you to help him draw?"
Lu Chengjing didn't know the reason either.
"Maybe he likes your paintings." Shang Wan found an excuse and talked about another matter, "Are you still going back to the county school to study?"
Lu Chengjing asked back: "Do you want me to go back to the county school?"
"I just think that studying cannot be done behind closed doors. Communication and discussion are also important." Shang Wan said, "But whether to go back or not is up to you."
Ever since the case was clarified and the news of Lu Chengjing's recovery from his leg injury spread, the county school sent people several times to convey messages, asking Lu Chengjing to go back to school.
After all, Lu Chengjing had always had excellent grades when he was in the county school and was the favorite of the teachers.
It was Lu Chengjing who had never agreed.
Shang Wan felt that he had his own considerations and did not interfere.
Lu Chengjing pondered for a moment and said, "I will go back after everything at home is done."
Seeing that he had made a decision, Shang Wan started talking about looking after the shop.
"There are two, one in the north of the city and one in the south."
She described the conditions of the two shops in detail. "As far as the conditions inside the shops are concerned, I prefer the shop in the north of the city. It has a good layout and a large yard. There is even room for people to live in the backyard."
Shang Wan hesitated, "But there are restaurants everywhere, what's the matter with a medicine store?"
