Chapter 294: Ali's Mysterious Friend
The dishes came up soon, and here I saw the familiar bowl of glutinous rice balls with rose filling, which were exactly the same as what Pei Yu brought me that day.
It was really hard for him to come all the way to bring me such a bowl of dumplings.
……
"Ahh~"
On the other side, Pei Yu, who was riding on his horse and rushing on the road, suddenly sneezed, and several men in military uniforms around him suddenly became nervous.
"My Lord, are you rushing too fast and catching a cold?"
Pei Yu shook his head and sneezed again, "Maybe someone is thinking about me."
It must be Ali who is thinking about herself!
Several men were stunned. Has the prince changed his personality?
Before, whenever he sneezed, he said someone was plotting against him, but now he says someone is thinking about him. Could he be possessed by evil spirits?
Pei Yu whipped the horse and increased the speed again, "Keep going, don't delay any more."
His voice was very shallow, perhaps blown away by the cold night wind, but no one dared to ignore it.
"Yes."
The people behind him immediately focused their minds and rode their horses to catch up with him.
……
"Ali, how is this glutinous rice dumpling? Is it delicious?"
Su Zhihui saw Shen Li scoop a glutinous rice ball into her mouth and looked at her with shining eyes, hoping that she would also like the food she liked.
"good to eat."
It was indeed delicious, and facing Ah Hui’s bright eyes, I couldn’t bear to let them go out.
Su Zhihui nodded, she and A Li were indeed good sisters!
Su Heng was eating on the other side, trying his best to observe etiquette and not look at the two girls talking opposite him. However, the room was so small that his ears could hear everything they said.
"Ali, when will you return to Qingxi County?"
"I plan to go back in the afternoon."
"So fast!" Su Zhihui exclaimed.
"Well, you know what happened last night. My parents and sister-in-law are still a little uneasy. Anyway, there is nothing to do here, so I just want to go back as soon as possible."
"Oh, I see. Which ship did you take? I'll go back with you, so I won't bother my eldest brother to take me back."
Originally, Su Heng had not planned to go to Beijing this year. As a younger sister, she had already wasted a lot of her brother's time and didn't want him to delay any further.
Shen Li thought for a second before replying, "It's a friend's boat. He's not here right now. I'll take care of the boat."
"Is that so? Can I go back with you?"
Shen Li did not respond directly, but looked at Su Heng with an inquiring look. Su Zhihui also reacted belatedly and looked at her elder brother expectantly.
When I am with my elder brother, I always feel a little restrained. Plus, I have been in the capital for so long that I feel a little uncomfortable.
His younger sister had guards by her side, so he felt relieved when she went back with Shen Li.
"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Shen."
"No trouble."
Su Zhihui narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Big brother is so nice."
Shen Li then spoke, "The boat is parked right next to the dock. We will meet at the dock at Shen Shichu."
Su Zhihui shook her head. "I'd better pack my luggage and go to your house to wait together. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll miss it."
"also."
After the meal, the three of them separated at the entrance of the restaurant. Shen Li packed up a few rose-filled dumplings and took them back for her family to try.
When she returned, her family had almost packed their luggage.
"Mom and Dad, Sister-in-law, Third Brother, I had a glutinous rice dumpling today. The filling was made of flowers. It tasted delicious. You can try it."
"Made of flowers? There aren't many flowers this season."
Li Cuicui took the basket from her daughter's hand and said curiously.
Xu Taohua also leaned over curiously. Between the two of them was a soft and sticky human cub, who opened his big eyes and blinked at the food box.
Shen Changshan and Shen Yuanzhou didn't like sweets very much, so they didn't look forward to it as much as they did, but the food was brought back by Ali, so they ate a little.
"This glutinous rice dumpling is really good and delicious."
Xu Taohua also nodded, "It tastes better than the one with peanut filling."
Among the sweet dumplings, she likes the ones with peanut filling the most. But now after eating the dumplings with rose filling, they have replaced the ones with peanut filling.
Shen Mochi ate three dumplings and wanted to eat more, but was ruthlessly rejected by Xu Taohua.
"No, you just ate so much for lunch. You can only eat three dumplings now, otherwise your stomach will hurt."
Seeing that his arm was not strong enough to twist his mother's thigh, Shen Mochi gave up decisively and ran to Shen Li's side.
"I really like those lanterns, Auntie. I also like these dumplings. Will you bring them to A-Chi next time?"
Shen Li pinched the fat on his face and said, "Okay, I'll bring it to you next time."
After talking to her family for a while, Shen Li returned to her yard and simply packed up some personal belongings. She did not pack her clothes. She would stay here from time to time, so it would always be useful to put some clothes there.
Su Zhihui came very quickly, and Su Heng sent him to the door of Shen's house, "Miss Shen, I'm in trouble."
"Ahui and I are friends, there's no need to talk about this."
Su Heng had a gentle smile on his face, "Okay, by the way, Miss Shen, where is your fourth brother?"
"Brother Su, my fourth brother left early in the morning."
Su Heng nodded, "Ahui, I'll go back to the academy first."
"Well, bye, big brother!"
Su Zhihui raised her eyebrows slightly. It turned out that he was not there. She had just prepared herself mentally for a long time, but it seemed all was in vain.
Su Heng watched the two of them walk in before turning around and getting on the carriage back to the academy.
Su Zhihui went to meet Shen Li's parents first and was returning to Shen Li's yard to wait.
Not long after, the group rode two carriages to the dock. When Su Zhihui saw the ship that Shen Li mentioned, she was stunned.
"Ali, you must have a very good relationship with this friend of yours, right?"
Shen Li said modestly: "It's OK."
Su Zhihui nodded in understanding. If Ah Li could say that she was okay with this kind of personality, then this person must be very important to her, or there must be some deep bond between them, otherwise she would not accept it.
Even if they accept it, they won't use it. The most likely scenario is that it will just sit there and collect dust.
At this time, she felt a little curious about the friend Shen Li mentioned.
It’s not that she has never seen the world, but the cost and materials of this ship are not cheap, and even the whole body is very beautiful, which shows that it is not cheap at a glance.
Although her mother was rich, due to her father's position as an official, she had to restrain herself in her daily life. For example, it was impossible for her mother to spend money to build such a luxurious boat.
The speedboat started, and Shen Li took Su Zhihui to visit some places and also took her family to watch a few musical performances.
Su Zhihui discovered that everyone on the boat was extremely respectful to Shen Li, as if she was the owner of the place.
She felt a sense of absurdity. Could it be that Ali's friend was a man?
