The Jingzhe in Jinling always rains endlessly.
Shen Nanbao was sitting in the hall, listening to the water in the medicine jar boiling, and the lid making a knocking sound.
She turned her head and saw lines of rain pouring down along the hanging lintel. They hit the ground densely, pouring out the cold wind and making people feel cold all over.
Shen Nanbao couldn't help but tighten his collar.
Seeing this, Bihan couldn't help but said: "Fourth girl, the old lady ordered her slaves to make the decoction, so why bother you? It's cold, so you'd better go to the house and rest."
Shen Nanbao didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but when he saw her bending her legs and her round eyes shining brightly, he couldn't help but smile, "I'm doing this to fulfill my filial piety. Please be more understanding. Grandma, if she knows about it, I'm sure I will also be considerate and I will definitely not blame you."
Bihao clenched her fists slightly and looked at Shen Nanbao with eyes wide. She was a teenager who still didn't know how to hide her thoughts. She was just surprised that the fourth girl, who had always been rude and disrespectful to her elders, would say such a thing. , do such a thing.
Shen Nanbao looked at the surprise in Bihao's eyes and curved the corners of his mouth.
It is natural for Bihan to be confused.
After all, she had no idea that the fourth girl of the Shen family standing in front of her would be reborn.
In fact, if he hadn't experienced it himself, even Shen Nanbao wouldn't have believed that he could be reborn.
When she was reborn, the commander came to visit her in person and asked her father, Shen Shi, who was suspected of being corrupt, to go to the palace to have tea.
Where is Dianqiansi?
That's a place that eats people without spitting out their bones.
There are all kinds of punishments, imaginable and unimaginable.
Whenever Shen Shi goes in and gets punished a few times, he's afraid that he will do something even if he doesn't do anything.
That's why Peng gave her to a lowly Ban Zhi from the Dianqian Department as a concubine, just to have some connections and intercede for Shen Shi.
In her previous life, she was stupid and cared about family ties, so she believed Peng's words. She wanted to fulfill her father's filial piety, and used her innocent body to flatter others, which led to a sad and hateful ending.
How could she change her life of filling holes in this life...
Shen Nanbao lowered his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but feel sad when he saw the fire in the stove, which was blown by the wind, flickering on and off, very much like her current poverty-stricken situation.
But in just a moment, she calmed down, turned around and asked Fengyue to get a soup bottle to fill the medicine. She ignored Bihan, whose face was flushed with anxiety, and took the medicine all the way to the long house in Bishan, to the house of Old Mrs. Yin. .
Old Mrs. Yin was closing her eyes to relax. When she heard some noise, she opened her eyes and saw her, the youngest and most unloved granddaughter, holding up a soup bottle and pouring medicine into a cup with her sleeves tied up.
The medicine had just been boiled. Due to this action, puffs of hot air rose up along the wall of the cup, filling the room with a bitter aroma.
Old Mrs. Yin couldn't help but frowned, "Didn't I let the servants endure it? Why did you bring it?"
Shen Nanbao handed over the medicine with a low eyebrow, and then replied: "It's not that the maid who cooked the medicine is lazy, it's that I thought that I wouldn't serve my grandmother in the past, and I wanted to take advantage of this time to show my filial piety."
Mrs. Yin fell silent.
Shen Nanbao, the granddaughter, was not raised under her knees, but the old man in the family died of illness some time ago. The old man was demoted and implicated in corruption. The fortune teller said that there was an evil spirit in the family.
One aunt mentioned that maybe it was because the dead Aunt Gu was unwilling that her daughter could not recognize her ancestor and return to the family line, so so many things happened in the house.
Old Mrs. Yin didn't believe it at first, but she fell ill the next day, coughing and couldn't even get out of bed.
Old Mrs. Yin was also afraid, so she asked someone to send the fourth girl back.
But who knew that as soon as the fourth girl came back, she seemed to be here to collect debts. Not only did she keep saying that her short-lived mother was killed by their Shen family, she was also rude to her elders. Even she was also angry with the fourth girl. Back.
In fact, this was okay, everyone just felt that she was a little too presumptuous, at least all her emotions were shown on her face.
But today, Mrs. Yin didn't think she was obedient, she just felt strange.
Mrs. Yin thought for a moment and then ordered: "Put it aside and wait for the medicine to cool down before eating it."
Shen Nanbao didn't move, and the corners of his mouth curved, "The medicine will lose its potency when it gets cold. Grandma should drink it while it's hot."
As he spoke, Shen Nanbao took a spoon and poured water into the medicine, blew a few breaths, and handed it to Mrs. Yin's mouth.
Seeing Mrs. Yin's eyes looking towards the soup noodles alertly, Shen Nanbao smiled clearly and said, "It's not hot anymore. If you don't believe me, let your granddaughter drink it and show it to her grandmother."
Shen Nanbao said, taking a sip, "Grandma, look, it's really not hot anymore."
Old Mrs. Yin felt embarrassed when a little girl saw her thoughts. She took the medicine cup and said, "Drink it one spoon at a time. This painful process will be long, so you might as well give it to me and swallow it in one gulp."
The medicine was bitter and scratched my throat when I drank it. One gulp made my heart feel stuffy and my whole tongue was sore.
Old Mrs. Yin couldn't help but shiver, but a pair of green fingers appeared in front of her eyes, with a small box of cloisonné enamel placed on the fingertips.
"This is?"
Shen Nanbao opened the enamel box to reveal the sour plum inside, "I thought my grandmother would suffer from the pain of taking the medicine, so I brought this thing. It can just relieve the astringency of the medicine."
Old Mrs. Yin did not respond.
Shen Nanbao put the box on the high table aside and said with a smile: "This is all a way to coax children. I guess grandma will not like it."
The box was exquisite and exquisite. When it was placed on the table, it made a crisp sound, which hit Old Mrs. Yin's ears and made her groan.
After a moment, Mrs. Yin raised her eyes and looked directly at Shen Nanbao, "Who taught you to do this?"
Shen Nanbao clicked his tongue and smiled calmly, "It was taught by the grandmother who raised her granddaughter. In the past, her granddaughter was sick and refused to take medicine, so her adoptive grandmother used to coax her granddaughter."
The words were not expressive at first, but they made Mrs. Yin fall silent.
In fact, Shen Nanbao is also a pitiful person.
When he was just born, his mother was kicked out of the house because she was not favored, she did something wrong, and died on the back of the crime. Now that she has grown up, she has been raised by a lowly family, and she has never met her biological parents.
Old Mrs. Yin sighed, "Bring it here, it will take away the bitter taste in my mouth."
The bayberry is sweet after being candied, but it has its own sour taste. It tastes just right, not sour or greasy.
Old Mrs. Yin's irritable mood was calmed down, and she finally went to see Shen Nanbao seriously.
It has been raining for several days, and everything seems to have been soaked with water. The color has become dark, deep, and dark, and it gives a feeling of oldness and decay in people's eyes.
Old Mrs. Yin was now approaching her twilight years and could not bear to see such an obscure scene, so she asked her servants to light up the house with lights, so that the mahogany furniture looked a little brighter.
Shen Nanbao stood in such flickering waves of light, with a layer of tranquility on his fair cheeks. There was still sweat on his forehead, but it did not look decadent at all. Instead, it made his face look like As delicate as satin.
So beautiful.
Especially when she smiles, there is a slight dimple at the corner of her mouth.
It was a kind of surprise comparable to spring scenery.
But after being amazed, it is not like those flowers that compete for a season and then lose their color. The Tsinghua look of the eyebrows and eyes is even more intriguing and unique.
There are two sisters in several rooms in Shen's house. Wherever there are women, comparison is inevitable.
Among them, the appearance is still fierce.
In the morning, before Shen Nanbao came back, everyone said that it was her granddaughter Shen Nanyi who was born neatly and beautifully.
But as soon as Shen Nanbao came back, those servants had to admit it even though they talked a lot in private about Shen Nanbao's moral shortcomings.
The fourth girl is better looking.
No wonder she heard from Mother Hu that after Shen Nanbao came back, Shen Nanyi's room had broken several porcelain lamps one after another, so the expenses were a bit high.
But it is good for a woman to be beautiful and have a good family background. If she is just beautiful, then she can only be regarded as a beauty with a bad life.
Old Mrs. Yin looked away and said slowly: "It's good if you have such a heart, but this is a servant's job after all. You better not do it in the future. You are you, and Aunt Gu is Aunt Gu. Don’t let her tie you up and lose your sense of being our lady.”
Shen Nanbao lowered his head and said obediently, "I'm just afraid that my hands and feet are rough. Since my grandmother said that, my granddaughter should take care of herself and listen."
Old Mrs. Yin nodded and asked her to step back. Then she seemed to remember something and said again: "You have been back for so many days, and you still haven't gone to see your mistress properly? Although the past things are over, in the end It is an indisputable fact that your mother poisoned Aunt Du at the time. If the current mistress hadn't begged for your mother because she was pregnant at the time, your mother's life was saved and your mother was kicked out of the house. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be here without you now.”
The foot that had just crossed the threshold paused, and the slightly cold wind and rain blew on Shen Nanbao's face, while a pair of glass-like eyes stared at the sky.
It had just started to rain, and there was mist everywhere. It was just like the scene when she died in her previous life, deserted and desolate.
But no matter how cold it was, it couldn't be colder than the cup of poisonous tea handed to her. If her mother was framed by Peng Shi, the mistress of the Shen Mansion.
In fact, she had already made speculations in her previous life.
After all, my mother is worried to death.
How can someone who can be worried to death be a bad person?
But at that time, she had no evidence and could only make people feel uncomfortable except for the temporary pleasure of making trouble.
Now that she was born again, how could she be as aggressive as in her previous life?
Everything has to be done slowly...
