A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

This yamen official is very discerning, and the two young masters seem to have a good background. If they are really invited to the county yamen, they will probably have to be well served. The woman in front of me is a smart person. She can drink a little wine with half a tael of silver in her hand, so there is no need to ask for trouble.

"That's alright. When you go out from now on, be careful about your money and don't let anyone touch it again!" After saying that, he also left.

The spectators gradually dispersed.

"Okay, okay, it's okay!" Qin Tingyu patted Shen Jianing's back and coaxed, casting a grateful look at Chen Changsheng.

Chen Changsheng turned around and led several children back to his stall, when suddenly two figures rushed towards him.

"Son!"

It's Manager Wu and Xiaoyu.

"The master is waiting for you two young masters upstairs. Let's go back."

When Shen Jianing saw a familiar figure, she let go of her nervousness and asked, "Uncle Wu, where is my father?"

"Master and Master Bai go to the stage and let us pick you and Mrs. Bai back." Manager Wu reported.

I heard "dong dong dong dong" and the sound of gongs and drums came from the dock platform. Bonuses and prizes were about to be awarded to the racers, and the crowd on the shore gathered again.

Qin Tingyu said to Chen Changsheng, "Mrs. Chen just saved us again, why don't we come up and sit together."

Just as Chen Changsheng was about to wave his hand, Guan Wu spoke beforehand, "Hey, isn't this the sister-in-law who was selling tofu bread at the dock a few days ago? Why is she here too?"

And judging from the tone of conversation between Mrs. Bai and the sister-in-law just now, it felt like they knew each other. This was really a fate.

Shen Jianing also reacted at this time, "Uncle Wu, I was bullied just now. Thanks to this aunt and her family for saving me."

Manager Wu bowed and thanked Chen Changsheng.

"Auntie, please forgive me for my previous recklessness and rudeness. Since we all know each other, why not come to my house to have a meal together today. During the Dragon Boat Festival, there are many people and it is lively." Shen Jianing told Manager Wu, "Wu Uncle, my dad’s side is about to finish the awards ceremony, so let’s take a carriage and go directly back home.”

Before Chen Changsheng could refuse, Shen Jianing held Qin Tingyu in one arm and Chen Changsheng in the other, "Let's go, let's go."

Chen Changsheng had no choice but to say, "Wait while I close the stall."

The four children quickly collected their things and put them on the oxcart. Chen Changsheng asked Chen Daniu to help take the things back to Aunt Ma's house in Chenjia Village.

After the explanation, a large group of people got on the Shen family's large carriage.

Only Zhang Cailiang was left in the crowd.

"Brother Zhang, didn't you say Jin Bobo? Why did Miss Shen leave?"

"I've said it before, how can we have a relationship with the Shen family? If you ask me, let's try our luck at Changle Gambling House."

Zhang Cailiang clenched his fists fiercely as he watched the carriage go away.

**

Shen Mansion, Baiwei Hall.

This year’s Dragon Boat Festival banquet will be held here.

Although the Shen Mansion was large, Shen Bohu only had one daughter, Shen Jianing. His wife died early and there were no other wives or concubines in the backyard.

In previous years, the father and daughter would celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, but today I didn't expect so many people.

Shen Bohu and Bai Xiao drove back home directly after presenting the awards at the pier.

Thanks to Manager Wu, he had started preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival banquet a few days ago. As soon as Chen Changsheng and others arrived at the Shen Mansion, the kitchen became busy.

Various aromas waft out from the kitchen and permeate the entire Baiwei Hall. Just smelling it makes your mouth water.

The servant in the front yard hurried over and told Manager Wu that Mr. Shen and County Magistrate Bai were already on their way back to the house.

Manager Wu excitedly directed, "Hurry up! The master has already brought people to the house, so don't delay the banquet time."

A large table has been set up in the Baiwei Hall, with nine chairs arranged around the table. On the round table, various delicacies are served on white porcelain plates, and fine wine has been poured.

Since there were still several female dependents, Manager Wu asked the kitchen to prepare some fruit wine.

Shen Bohu sat in the main seat, with Bai Xiao on his left, Shen Jianing on his right, Qin Tingyu on Bai Xiao's left, Chen Changsheng sitting next to Shen Jianing, and several children also took their seats in turn.

It was the first time for Chen Changsheng to eat an ancient banquet, and it was a banquet for a wealthy family like the Shen Mansion. Not to mention chicken, duck, fish and other meats, there were also some modern seafood. She had eaten these in her previous life.

It was the first time for the children to see so many delicious foods, and they all swallowed silently. They did not dare to express their desire to eat too obviously, for fear of embarrassing their mother.

Shen Bohu raised his wine glass and said, "Mrs. Chen, thank you for saving my daughter today and saving her reputation from damage. Shen is really grateful. I can only do it first out of respect. Mrs. Chen can do it herself." After saying that, he raised the glass. Take the glass and drink it in one gulp.

Chen Changsheng was also a cheerful person, not to mention that the ancient wine was not pure enough and had low alcohol content, so she drank it all in one gulp.

"Okay! Mrs. Chen is really a person with a bold personality!" Shen Bohu laughed.

Bai Xiao then said, "Thank you madam for resolving the problem again today. This is the second time madam has shown kindness to my Bai family. I, Bai Xiao, don't know how to repay you, so I can only drink this cup empty."

Chen Changsheng drank them all.

The adults drank and used their chopsticks, and then the juniors dared to use their chopsticks to eat, and the atmosphere became lively.

Shen Jianing ate the food in silence. Seeing his daughter's appearance, Shen Bohu frowned and said, "Why doesn't Ning Ning pay a toast to my benefactor? Are you so ignorant of etiquette?"

Feeling a little embarrassed, Shen Jianing whispered to Chen Changsheng, "Auntie, please don't take it to heart if I was reckless this afternoon. I really know I was wrong this time. I...I don't know how to drink either. Let’s give my aunt a formal toast with tea instead of wine.”

Chen Changsheng smiled, knowing his mistakes can greatly improve his situation. Miss Shen must also know that she is afraid.

"Master Bai, I just heard you say that this is the second time Mrs. Chen has shown kindness to you. Could it be that you two have known each other before?" Shen Bohu asked, tilting his head.

He knew that Bai Xiao had just arrived in Baishui County a few days ago, and it was his first time to meet the county magistrate. He didn't expect that there was someone earlier than him, and she was also an ordinary woman.

Qin Tingyu said, "Actually, today is the third time I meet Mrs. Chen, and every time I meet, I have an extraordinary experience."

The first time it was Mrs. Chen who rescued her mother-in-law, the second time it was their county government who rescued Mrs. Chen, and the third time it was Mrs. Chen who rescued her again. Going around and around, it seems like destiny.

She turned to look at Chen Changsheng, "Mrs. Chen, why are you coming to the city today during the Dragon Boat Festival? Are you here specifically to watch the dragon boat race?"

Chen Changsheng put down his chopsticks and spoke slowly, "I have a catering business in the city. I deliver food to Ruyi Restaurant every day, and also deliver iced tofu puffs to Sishui County next door, rain or shine. It just happened to be the dragon boat race today, and I thought of the people on the pier. If there are many, go over there and sell them.”

Shen Jianing seemed to be thinking about something and whispered a few words into her father's ear. Shen Bohu immediately ordered, "Steward Wu!"

Manager Wu immediately stood up and asked, "What are your orders, sir?"
