The young boy was a little shy and his face turned red suddenly.

He quickly changed the subject, "Sister, I asked dad to borrow twenty taels of silver, which is in your little bag.

If sister feels homesick, use the money to hire a car to take you back. "

 The topic changed so unexpectedly that Brother Man completely forgot his father’s instructions—

You can't tell him about borrowing money in front of Li Xiuniang.

 It was not easy for him to save so much private money.

Hearing that his son had betrayed him in public, Shen Er's eyes widened, "!!"

Aware that Li Xiuniang was staring at him with death, he froze and smiled awkwardly: "Madam..."

In front of everyone, Li Xiuniang had to give face to the head of the family. She immediately suppressed the expression on her face and praised Brother Man: "Brother Man is really thoughtful."

Shen Nian noticed that the atmosphere between his father and mother was quite strange, guessed the truth, and looked at Shen Er with sympathy in his eyes.

Daddy is so miserable!

 Private money is going to be taken away again!

  Shen Er almost laughed angrily when he saw his daughter's eyes that were sympathetic but more gloating about her misfortune.

 You little heartless one!

Why is he saving his personal money? Isn't he thinking that he will have enough money to buy something for the little girl when he finds something she likes...

The Shen family said goodbye here, and Liu Guogong did not see any prompting, and was talking to Lou Kongqing on the side.

 “Your daughter is really lucky!” Lou Kongqing said with emotion.

  It is really good luck to meet such a good family when living outside.

Liu Guogong had a temperament that made him feel better whenever he talked about his daughter. His cold face softened, but he said: "It's only this year that he got better. He suffered a lot in the past."

Lou Kong Qingxin said the same thing.

If you grew up in the Duke's mansion and had a father like Liu Shaoxing, he would be more noble than a princess.

Shen Nian said goodbye to his family members one by one. Seeing that it was getting late, he said, "It's time for us to go, father, mother, eldest brother, brother Man... you all go back, don't see me off, just treat me as if I'm going to the county." It’s time to play.”

The Shen family couldn't bear to see her leave, so they all agreed.

 “Okay.” Li Xiuniang touched her daughter’s hair, her eyes were a little red.

Just as he was about to turn around and go back, he couldn't help but warned him again, "Protect yourself, and don't forget to write back."

Shen Nian sighed softly in his heart, hugged Li Xiuniang, and said in a sweet and strong voice, "I will definitely never forget it."

As he spoke, he said something in her ear, "Mom, I will only recognize you as my mother in this life. I will come back! You can miss me, but you can't be sad, otherwise I will be sad too."

Li Xiuniang felt sour in her heart, stroking Shen Nian's long hair, smiling with tears in her eyes, "Mother is not sad..."

 Just reluctant to part with it.

Who can bear it when such a young girl is brought up little by little and suddenly has to leave home.

 Finally, at Shen Nian's insistence, the Shen family members went home.

As soon as the family left, the little girl cheered up and waved to Liu Guogong and others.

 The long motorcade finally set off.

Shen Nian was sitting in a carriage, with powerful guards on horseback guarding him on both sides. He looked unusually elegant.

The carriage had not gone far, and Shen Nian asked Duke Liu proudly, "Dad, is the carriage I made Brother Jie comfortable?"

Liu Guogong has only a lot more opportunities to ride in a carriage.

As soon as the carriage drove forward, he noticed the difference.

 “It’s really good!”

 It seems to be a lot more stable and less bumpy.

Shen Nian curled his lips and explained, "I asked Brother Jie to modify the wheels. The current wheels can absorb shock, so they are so comfortable."

She saw a gum-producing tree in the mountains before. Thinking that the current carriage was not powerful, she went to Shen Jie to talk about the shock-absorbing wheels. Unexpectedly, he actually made it!

 “It’s really good!” Liu Guogong praised.

He felt keenly that this thing was very useful, so he asked: "What is the principle of shock absorption?"

 “Rubber.” Shen Nian said without warning. “Rubber—” A strange color flashed in Liu Guogong’s eyes.

 Is it something that Emperor Kaizu mentioned?

It is said that he had been looking for this thing all the time, but by some strange combination of circumstances, he never found it.

Shen Nian said he would find rubber and asked Shen Jie to do the shock absorbing for the wheels.

Emperor Kaizu is a legendary figure in Dai Viet, a person that every scholar has missed understanding.

Lou Kongqing also vaguely knew that Emperor Kaizu had mentioned rubber, and realized that he seemed to have witnessed something incredible. He was shocked, "Sister Nian, is it really rubber?"

Without saying a word, Shen Nian pulled out a small box from under the seat and took out a pair of mid- to high-top rubber-soled shoes.

“Hey, these waterproof shoes are made of rubber. I asked someone to make a few pairs for you.”

Liu Guogong reached out and took it, "Good girl, you are interested."

The eyes he glanced at Lou Kongqing were not so friendly, with a chill in them.

The good girl actually remembers this guy, it's really unnecessary.

Lou Kongqing saw the meaning in his eyes and fell down in anger. However, it was not shown on his face, but he praised Shen Nian with a smile on his face.

“You’re so considerate! I didn’t expect it to happen to me too. Thank you Sister Nian!”

As he spoke, he carefully poured some water on the shoes.

The water did not penetrate, and it dried as soon as you wiped it.

Happiness showed on his face.

“It’s really waterproof. With these shoes, I won’t have to worry about rainy days.”

Shen Nian smiled and said, "Yeah, I think so too."

 On the other hand, Liu Guogong thought further, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

 The three people in the carriage were talking about rubber shoes, but there was another scene outside the carriage.

Zhuxi Village looked at the grandeur of Shen Nian and the others and couldn't take their eyes away.

“It seems like Sister Nian is really a girl from a wealthy family. She travels in a more elegant way than the girls from the magistrate’s family!”

"You compare Sister Nian with a girl from the county magistrate's family? What's the comparison? Sister Nian's biological father is a high official in Zhongdu. He has been seen by the emperor, and I don't even know how many times he has been to the palace. There is no comparison. All right!"

“Oh no, no wonder Sister Nian’s becoming the head of the county is not just a matter of a word from his father.”

 “My life is good, I can’t envy it!”

“Do you think Sister Nian will come back?”

 As soon as he asked this question, the scene became quiet for a moment.

"It should be possible..." a woman said uncertainly, "I think Sister Nian is very close to the Shen family, and she didn't neglect them at all because her biological father came to find her."

“That’s not necessarily the case. If you go to a place like Zhongdu, it would be nice if you can ask someone to come back and deliver a message. How can you come back? Although our place seems to be getting richer, it’s not as good as Zhongdu…”

 “What you said makes sense!” another person said.

 “Nian Jieer, who knows how to repay his kindness, is not the kind of person you are talking about.” Someone said unconvinced.

“Why are you so impatient? We didn’t say anything about Miss Nian, we just talked casually...”

 …

Shen Nian didn't know that someone in the village almost had a falling out on the spot because they speculated whether she would come back.

 The convoy rushed all the way to the county.

 She opened the car curtain and saw people on both sides of the road.

 Someone was pushing a cart, and there were flower baskets with chrysanthemums on them. They were exactly the same as those sold by the Shen family during the Double Ninth Festival last year.

 “Huh? I’ve sold these flowers before!”
