"It’s still better in the village! When there’s nothing to do, you can climb mountains, pick wild vegetables, and stuff like that." Shen Qingju sighed lightly and said, "There’s nothing fun in town, stuck indoors all day, can’t go anywhere!"
She actually wanted to see Li Wei, but it kept raining recently, and she couldn’t go out. When the weather finally cleared up, it turned out to be the academy’s day off.
She knew where Li Wei lived, but the Li family members were all there, so she didn’t dare to go over.
She looked at Shen Qinglan and said, "Qinglan, where are you going later? Why not take us along?"
"Uh... might have some things to take care of."
Hearing this, Shen Qingju’s small face instantly fell.
Seeing this, Shen Qinglan quickly said, "Of course, it’s nothing major. If you want to wander around now, I’ll take you!"
She originally planned to visit the Guest House and deliver the proposed menu to the Ji Nian couple.
But seeing Shen Qingju , fearing she’d really get sick from boredom, she had no choice but to change her mind.
"Really?" Shen Qingju was delighted, "Then hurry up, tidy up a bit, and let’s head out."
"What tidying up? Aren’t we fine ? Or is it..." Shen Qinghe’s gaze narrowed slightly, "You’re afraid of running into Brother Wei?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Qingju, seeing through her thoughts, blushed rarely, "Who’s afraid of running into him?"
Shen Qinghe clicked her tongue, looked at Shen Qinglan, and said, "Qinglan, look at that face of hers, yet she refuses to admit it!"
It’s been raining recently, and after staying in town for a while, not only has Shen Qingju become fairer, but Shen Qinghe has too.
Plus, their clothes are new, and although they hadn’t put on any makeup, they looked bright-eyed and elegantly featured.
"Oh, forget it, we won’t tidy up, let’s just go!"
Saying that, Shen Qingju pulled a person with each hand and left the East Wing.
Shen Qinglan’s eyes smiled gently, allowing herself to be led outside.
After exiting the main gate, Shen Qingju asked, "I heard from my second cousin that a bowl of noodles now costs fifty wen. Is that true?"
Shen Qinglan nodded, "It’s true."
"These people are so cunning!" Shen Qingju pouted and said, "Knowing full well that people are stranded on the streets, they deliberately jack up the prices so high. Aren’t they trying to starve people to death?"
Shen Qinglan said, "That’s why the refugees in town before have mostly left town."
Eating such expensive food in town, it’s better to leave and have a free hot meal elsewhere.
"If it weren’t for Qinglan, we wouldn’t be much better off." Shen Qinghe sighed with emotion.
The town was desolate, lacking its previous hustle and bustle.
The ones coming out to stroll around now were mostly some rich ladies and young misses.
After walking around, all three felt it was incredibly boring. Shen Qinglan suggested visiting the clothing shop, but just as they stepped out, someone called them.
"Shen Qinghe, Shen Qingju, what are you doing here?"
The three of them turned back, and saw He Qiutian with two luxuriously dressed girls walking out of the fabric shop next door.
"Oh, it’s you," Shen Qingju said unkindly, "Why can’t we be here if you can?"
He Qiutian lightly covered her lips with a handkerchief and scoffed, "Really, just because you’re wearing new clothes, you think you’re the daughters of a wealthy family?" Official source ıs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩
Shen Qinglan frowned slightly. She hadn’t met He Qiutian before, only knowing she wasn’t easy to deal with. She hadn’t expected this level of pettiness.
