Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 308 Understanding the Current Situation

Shen Li leaned lazily on the soft couch in the carriage, drinking tea comfortably while chatting with Shen Xuan about family matters with a smile.

"Brother Xuan, I seem to have missed a lot of things while I was sleeping. How old am I now?" Shen Li asked, taking a sip of tea.

"Sister, you are already thirteen years old now."

Shen Xuan replied with a smile, and then continued excitedly, "Sister, our Fuxilou is doing very well! Business is booming, and we have opened branches in various places. It has become one of the important industries of the Shen family.

I also passed the examination and became a scholar, and my third uncle was even more motivated and successfully passed the examination and became a Jinshi. It can be said that there were many happy events in our family.

Mother also gave birth to two younger brothers who are almost four years old. The family is very lively and cheerful. It's a pity that you, sister, have been in a coma. Everyone misses you very much."

"How's the situation at the family workshop?" Shen Li asked with concern.

"Sister, since your accident, the situation at our workshop has not been very optimistic."

Shen Xuan frowned and said angrily, "Many local wealthy people and some minor officials have set their sights on our workshop and have used many means, both overt and covert, to seek personal gain from it.

Once, the housekeeper of Mr. Li's family brought a group of people to the workshop to cause trouble, insisting that there was something wrong with our goods and wanted to buy them at a low price.

Fortunately, the people you, uncle and sister, had arranged before were capable and produced evidence on the spot, leaving them speechless, and then they were all sent away one by one.

As time went on, those people realized they couldn't take advantage and gradually quieted down. With the Emperor in the capital, there was no trouble at Fuxilou. Even if there was, it was all done secretly and was dealt with by us and Brother Su's men!"

Shen Li listened, secretly feeling relieved, nodded slightly, and thought: Fortunately, I had the foresight to start developing my own secret guards and forces early on, otherwise my family would have suffered a lot of losses this time.

Although he initially felt that he could not understand Su Ran's actions, he now understood that as the prince of Dongsheng, he was also doing it for his country.

"Is there any other situation in the capital?" Shen Li asked again.

Shen Xuan paused, thought for a moment, and then continued, "Some other situations in the capital are even more complicated. His Majesty the Emperor is extremely concerned about your affairs, sister, and sends people to the palace every few days to inquire about your situation.

There were also the wives and daughters of officials, all with different thoughts, some of them came with genuine concern and good intentions;

But there are also some who have ill intentions and may not have good intentions.

I remember one time, the daughter of Minister Wang came to our house. She seemed to be visiting, but in fact she was asking about our family's business situation.

Even many officials and sons came to inquire about my sister's situation. I really don't know what their intentions are."

Shen Li frowned slightly, and became a little wary of the situation in the capital. He secretly wondered about the purpose behind these people, and was also thinking about how to deal with this complicated situation after returning home.

However, Shen Li pondered these things carefully in her heart, and her eyes revealed a hint of calmness and composure.

Although the situation seemed a bit complicated, she didn't feel too worried.

After all, I have already woken up, and as long as I am still alive, there are infinite possibilities.

Those so-called troubles are nothing but stumbling blocks on the road. All you need to do next is to arrange and solve them step by step in a steady and orderly manner.

She knows that she has unique abilities and wisdom, and with a group of trustworthy family and friends around her, there is nothing she cannot overcome.

At this moment, the sea breeze blew gently, bringing the unique salty and humid smell of the sea, and also stirred Shen Li's heartstrings.

She thought, since she was at the beach, how could she miss the fresh seafood gifted by nature?

At that moment, she put all her worries aside, and her heart was filled with the anticipation of feasting on a delicious meal. In her opinion, life is like this, with both difficulties and beauty.

At this moment, enjoying the delicious food by the sea is her wonderful time. Let her taste buds cheer to their heart's content.
