He deliberately prolonged his tone, and his voice was lazy and slow, like jade knocking on ice, with a hint of coldness coming out of it.
Hearing this, Shen Nanbao's ears felt hot and the tip of his nose was sweating.
She endured her numb scalp and bowed respectfully, "You are so handsome and majestic. How can a little girl like me be able to compete with you?"
She looked so groveling that she fell into Xiao Yichen's eyes, causing him to sneer slightly, "Yes or no, aren't the four girls already contending?"
Shen Nanbao complained about his small belly and chicken intestines, which happened a few days ago, and said over and over again like he was spreading pancakes.
But she was helpless because she had a humble status and no one to support her.
Shen Nanbao had no choice but to calm down and deal with it carefully, "The matter is urgent, and my father is implicated, so I cannot speak properly. I hope that the commander-in-chief will not take any blame, and I will be able to fulfill my filial piety."
This is all stage talk.
She has been away from home since she was a child, how much affection can she have with her father whom she has never met.
What's more, he asked someone to check it in private. She had been back for a while, and she hadn't even entered the family tree. They were all ancestral names he recognized only after he left that day.
Now that they are about to go into battle, can she sincerely treat the Shen family as a family member who asked her to block the sword?
Xiao Yichen didn't believe it, but he didn't point it out. He just smiled, "The four girls are filial and filial. God can see and learn from them. How can I turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye."
He saw Shen Nanbao raise his head and look at him with eyes full of surprise.
I guess I was confused about what he said.
Xiao Yichen didn't even notice it himself, so he explained to her considerately, "Your father did nothing wrong. He was just at odds with other people's political opinions and was framed. After the lawsuit is heard and the decision is made in the past few days, the statement is written. Once the official document is issued, I will be released without charge for seven or eight days."
After speaking, he frowned, as if he was curious about his own abnormality.
Either in order to get back 10%, or in order to seem natural, he coughed in a low voice, cleared his throat, and asked something funny.
"I treat the fourth girl like this, why don't the fourth girl also open her heart and tell me what she is doing at every step?"
Why is she working so hard?
Anyone with a discerning eye will know that they are just trying to survive in this muddy place.
However, he is a commander and a being of supreme honor. He is flattered and flattered by others, and his food and clothing expenses are all purchased by others after careful consideration.
How could he understand her difficulty.
Just like she didn't understand that his methods were obviously ruthless. In the previous life, Shen Shi had lost a layer of skin when he came out of the front office of the palace. How could he be so relaxed in this life, all he had to do was write a speech.
But this is the normal state of things in the world. People have different thoughts and joys and sorrows.
She didn't expect him to feel the same way.
So Shen Nanbao licked his lips and smiled, "I am the youngest daughter's character. I feel that my sister was just born into the mistress's belly, and yet she lived such a dazzling life. If it were me..."
She pursed her lips, and her warm jade-like face was immersed in the spring light, glowing, "Maybe I can live a more brilliant life than her."
Although it was such a rebellious thing, she said it with a sense of matter-of-factness.
Xiao Yichen was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Since you have made such a plan, you must be a cruel person. In this case, why did you stop your sister from palming you? Let her beat her down, even though her face has suffered a bit, but she can walk around outside with this face on her face, and she won't have to worry about others not talking about her behind her back."
After all, he is a man, he is used to using swords and guns openly, and he does not understand the battle among women. It is a faceless confrontation and a calculation based on every penny.
If you are not careful, it will be like holding on against the wind, and you will have the trouble of burning your hands.
Shen Nanbao's lips curved into a sneer, "What the Commander-in-Chief said is a good idea. However, since I am the fourth girl of the Shen family now, if I walk around with a wounded face, not to mention my grandmother will also consider Shen The reputation of the house, to make up a reason for my injury, to stop others' mouths, is the eldest sister. Her honor and disgrace are related to me. Others say that she is wild and wild, but they also say a few words about my intentions. If it works out, when the time comes, won’t my gains outweigh the losses?”
The argument just now lasted only a moment, but she could think of it getting to this point...
That was in Shen Mansion before...
Xiao Yichen narrowed his eyes, and the panic-stricken sun shone down, reflecting the deep light in his eyes.
Shen Nanbao didn't know what he was thinking. He just felt that his gaze was as straight and sharp as a grass, holding her there, unable to move. She could only bite the bullet and wait for him to say: "The fourth girl lives a clear life, but she lives too much." If you are transparent, you will inevitably have to work hard and have a deep love that will last forever. Everything will be okay."
Shen Nanbao, who had prepared a respectful draft, was a little stunned by the careless concern.
She glanced at Xiao Yichen, only to see him looking back at her.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone over, making the expression on Xiao Yichen's face blurred, and only a little soft light forced out from under the slightly raised eyes.
And she had never seen this soft light on anyone's face in Shen's house.
Thinking about it makes me laugh.
Shen Nanbao's heart felt a little tight.
Suddenly a gust of wind came, making the surrounding trees rustle, making her unable to open her eyes.
Shen Nanbao simply lowered his eyes, but his throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, making his voice hoarse, "The palace commander is absolutely right, but nine times out of ten life in this world is unsatisfactory, who can do everything as he wants? I have been out for a long time, If I don’t go back, I’m afraid grandma will find someone to look for her.”
After speaking, she bent her knees and turned back along the path before Xiao Yichen could speak.
Old Mrs. Yin was really there sending people to look for her.
Shen Nanbao's behavior has his own style. Although he walks in a hurry, he has a gentle and calm attitude that makes others look at him without feeling rude and only feel elegant.
Mrs. Yin understands that this is beauty that grows from the bones.
But most people in the world only have beauty in their skin. Only Shen Nanbao has the beauty of his bones and skin.
Old Mrs. Yin looked at her, her frown tightening for some reason, "You have never been to this spring banquet before, so you have such a fresh idea in your heart, and I know that you are lingering for a while, but you have to pay attention to the rules and don't let others see it. That’s the joke.”
She gave instructions in a calm voice, which sounded like she was very considerate.
In fact, it was just to divert attention from Shen Nanyi, who also returned in a hurry, but with her hairpin tilted up.
Shen Nanbao was shocked in his heart, but his face was full of respect, "What my grandmother taught me is that I will remember it in the future and never dare to make the same mistake again."
She was so obedient that Mrs. Yin had a faint smile on her face. She looked at everyone and saw that everyone was present, so she went home and the whole group got into the carriage.
Towards evening, the carriages arrived at the house, and everyone followed Mrs. Yin to the door and entered the house.
Before leaving in the morning, Mrs. Peng issued an order to open the windows and doors to disperse the charcoal gas accumulated in the winter.
At this time, the main hall still had open sill windows on all sides, and the silver-hooked moon poured in through the haze of clouds, flowing like water throughout the room, gently and lightly.
In this scene, Shen Nanyi pressed her shoulders and pinched her waist, complaining softly that her body ached.
Old Mrs. Yin saw that the peace on her face faded little by little, looking extremely cold and solemn in the silvery moonlight, "Sister Yi, do you know you were wrong today?"
Shen Nanyi was suddenly called out, and was startled, looking at Old Mrs. Yin nervously.
When Mrs. Yin saw this, her suppressed anger could not be restrained for a moment, "I didn't think it was easy to lecture you when everyone was there, so I let you play for a day. It's better for you to forget everything. It can be seen that Mrs. Chen is not cutting corners when she teaches you. It is because you are forgetful and cannot learn the skills, so you have lost face in front of the wife of the Duke of Renguo!"
Each sentence was heavier than the other, and Shen Nanyi's face turned pale. She curled her lips and wanted to retort, but when she raised her eyes, she saw the eyes of Old Mrs. Yin.
She has lived for more than half her life. Although she has been washed away by the years and has a somewhat kind air, Old Mrs. Yin's eyes are still bright and sharp. She looks at Shen Nanyi for a moment, like a knife, piercing straight into her. Enter Ana Shen’s heart.
Shen Nanyi was unable to say anything and could only respond in silence.
Only then did Mrs. Yin feel slightly satisfied. She moved her gaze and looked at Shen Nanbao, "And you, your sister spoke inappropriately and you also behaved inappropriately. Although she was raised outside, it hurt you and shortened your knowledge. But now that you are a girl from the Shen family, you should share the honor and disgrace with the Shen family. What kind of virtue does it mean that you go out dressed like this?"
Shen Nanbao folded his hands and bent his knees, and responded obediently: "Grandma taught me that my granddaughter will never be like this again in the future."
Shen Nanyi looked on with sour eyes, secretly scolded her for pretending, and pulled up her handkerchief angrily.
When Old Mrs. Yin saw it, her brows tightened, "I'm afraid that if you just say this, it won't be true, so let's just leave it like this. You two go back and copy the "Female Commandments" ten times."
"grandmother……"
Shen Nanyi lost her voice in shock.
Shen Nanbao still looked the same, and for his good fortune, he agreed to come down.
In this way, the judgment is made.
When Mrs. Yin saw this, she couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Although she had always said that the fourth girl was raised outside and had little knowledge, her behavior was such that even the Duke's wife could tell who was good and who was bad.
If this were told, I don't know who would be embarrassed.
Old Mrs. Yin couldn't help but look at Mrs. Peng, "You can't keep the female college student, she's just as talented as a hairpin, and now she doesn't even listen to my lessons."
Mrs. Peng couldn't help but hurriedly said: "How come, Sister Yi is always close to her mother, so she is inevitably a bit arrogant, but she still listens to you in her heart."
Mrs. Yin snorted coldly and was noncommittal.
Mrs. Peng gave Shen Nanyi an annoyed look.
Shen Nanyi understood, snorted and stepped forward, shaking Old Mrs. Yin's arm, "Grandma, granddaughter doesn't mean that. I just feel that grandma always loves her granddaughter and has never punished her granddaughter so severely. She was just surprised for a moment."
After all, Mrs. Yin watched Shen Nanyi grow up from such a small person to such a big one. She felt so much love in her heart when she complained so much. Now she saw that she was subdued and kept a straight face. He softened and touched her forehead, "Since you know it, you must copy it well when you get back, and live up to my honest teachings."
Ana Shen lowered his head and said in a low voice, looking a little disappointed and lonely, "Yes, my granddaughter knows."
