The small movements did not escape the eyes of Old Mrs. Yin, but she did not want to mention it. Just when she was about to speak and reprimand the little granddaughter, a servant came to the door, stirred up the wind, and rolled out the slightly astringent medicine. fragrant.
"Old lady, it's time to take medicine."
The familiar voice called out and Shen Nanbao raised his head to take a sly look. He saw that the green hair that he had been delivering medicine to had been replaced by a green hairpin.
He was probably a little surprised that Shen Nanbao was stunned.
Old Mrs. Yin couldn't help but look sideways, "What's wrong?"
Shen Nanbao lowered his head, "We met several times in the back room earlier, but I didn't expect her to come and serve my grandmother."
Mrs. Yin knew this. After all, Shen Nanbao had rarely interacted with people in the house since he returned home. Bihaan was an exception. It was probably because he saw that she was young and simple-minded that Shen Nanbao was willing to say a few words to her.
Old Mrs. Yin thought to herself, while taking the medicine and pouring water into the soup with a porcelain spoon, she said: "Although she is young, she is a prudent person in doing things. She is much more worry-free than that Luwu, so I made an exception and kept her here." Take care of me."
In fact, why did Mrs. Yin need to explain to her?
She is just an unpopular fourth girl in the Shen family.
Shen Nanbao retreated from Mrs. Yin's room and looked at the sky like the mouth of a well. The bright spring light leaked in from there, swaying and making people dizzy.
"It's almost spring."
Shen Nanbao sighed suddenly.
Hearing the unclear sigh, Feng Yue smiled happily, "Yes, spring is almost here. Sister, let's plant some Tangli and Jingtao in the yard. They are beautiful and delicious!"
Shen Nanbao laughed at her, "Eating is the most important thing...but Rong Yuexuan really needs to tidy up."
This courtyard belonged to her mother at first. Because of that incident, the building was deserted and everyone was taboo about it. Even Sasa Tingchu had never been there.
After more than ten years, no matter how bright the Minghua was in the past, it will not be as good as the Suihou Pearl and the Qibao Pagoda. The golden pot will eventually be destroyed, the vine will decay, and it will turn into powder in one day.
Shen Nanbao turned his eyes and looked straight at the patches of bamboo strips in front of him, as well as the colorful flowers behind them, which were gathered into a ball by the skylight, soft and soft.
When the wind blows, countless petals fly, sweeping over Shen Nanbao's heart like feathers.
Itchy.
Desirable.
"But just the two of us can't accomplish it. It's a big project and requires some manpower."
After listening to this, Feng Yue's tone was a little lonely, "Sister, you said it lightly. You see, we have been back for nearly a month. Have you ever heard that Madam will assign a maid to come up to Rong Yuexuan?"
Shen Nanbao has always been broad-minded, and after hearing these complaints, he didn't show any emotion at all. Standing on the corridor, in the small area where the light came in, he stretched his arms lazily, "Such a beautiful spring, isn't it possible at first?" After experiencing so many days of rain, it can be seen that in order to be happy, you must first experience all the hardships."
She had her own theory, which left Feng Yue speechless and could only find another way to say: "My sister is absolutely right, so what kind of sufferings do we have to suffer now?"
Shen Nanbao curled his lips, straightened his waist, and looked at Feng Yue gracefully, "Go to the back room."
When the sound of footsteps gradually faded away, Mother Hu, who was scratching the corner of the wall, withdrew and turned to the house. "Old lady, the fourth girl went to the back room. I think she went to boil the medicine again. I want a slave. Stop her?"
"Let her go. She has also finished copying the "Female Commandments". If I stop her, she will probably become suspicious."
Mrs. Yin looked calm.
Mother Hu was quite dissatisfied, "Old lady, don't mind me. I just heard what the fourth girl said and felt heartbroken. What does it mean to have to endure all the hardships before you can accept it? I'll give it to the old lady as she wishes." Is it hard to make medicine?"
Old Mrs. Yin glanced at her and said, "She has returned to her original life. What are you doing to get angry with her? It's not like you don't know the plans in her heart?"
Mother Hu said sarcastically, "I know this, that's why I'm so talented. Old lady, do you think cultivating kindness is greater than giving kindness? She told Bihan that Mr. Zhao and his wife treated her well, so why did she come back? is not it……"
The voice suddenly stopped at the sound of the servant's rapid steps, but he was panting heavily and his face flushed, "Old lady, the master is back."
Old Mrs. Yin immediately got up from the bed, "Didn't you say you would come back in the evening? Are you here so soon?"
The work of announcing the good news is always brisk, and even the voice is a little more joyful with the master's joy, "Here we are! I must have been thinking of you, old lady, and hastened back."
In fact, how could it be possible? Most of the people who came out of the Dianqian Division were sent back by the people from the Dianqian Division.
However, these words were pleasing to the eye, and Mrs. Yin did not care about the truth in them. She put on a lotus-colored double-breasted jacket and hurried to the front hall.
Shen Nanbao, who was in the back room, also heard the news and transferred to the front hall.
There was an endless stream of people going up and down the road, and it was a noisy scene like people jumping on their backs.
I thought that would be the end of it, but when I arrived at the main hall, a bunch of people were waiting there. Even Rong and Shen Wenzhuo, whom I had never met before, were standing in their respective positions and looking forward to it.
Shen Nanbao saluted each one and then found the tiniest and most inconspicuous place to wait.
After seeing her son like this, Shen Nanyi came over with a fan covering half of her face and looked her up and down, "I haven't seen you in a long time. The fourth sister will be well-raised and more energetic."
Shen Nanbao smiled, with a subtle hint of wind in his gentle tone, "Thanks to big sister for taking care of me."
Old Mrs. Yin was eagerly looking forward to Shen Shi's return, but she felt the quarrels between the sisters were noisy, and immediately shouted, "The clapper player outside chooses the time to shout, but it's better for you, you don't have to worry about being a thorn. I really indulge you!"
Shen Nanyi did not dare to say any more, and retreated to Peng's side, looking at Shen Nanbao with a pair of autumn eyes.
Shen Nanbao just pretended that he couldn't see it at all, lowered his head and waited for the young man to rush in, "Old lady, madam, the master is here."
The words fell to the ground, and under the piercing skylight, the dark corridor was filled with the clanging sound of soldiers clashing. Accompanied by heavy steps, majestic steps came in, and a whirlwind roared into the room that was quiet just now. The shadow of the candle trembles,
Everyone felt frightened, but after recovering, they saw a man wearing ordinary casual clothes and without a crown approaching hurriedly, "Mother, I worry about you!"
The familiar voice made Old Mrs. Yin burst into tears instantly. She rushed forward to stop Shen Shi, the chief inspector, and said, "You have suffered a lot after going there, so you are exempt from these etiquettes."
"What the old lady said... Mr. Shen is an acquaintance with my father after all. What's more, he still has a grievance. No matter what he does in front of the palace, he will be fed by me with good food and drink. How can he be called tired?"
There was a sudden sound, tinged with the coldness of early spring, like a rushing wind, which made Old Mrs. Yin's expression change with consternation. She raised her head in shock and looked at Xiao Yichen who walked in with steady steps.
He was wearing an official uniform, with a round collar and wide sleeves, and a dense woven gold python pattern on his chest. Together with the skylight that came in, it instantly dazzled Old Mrs. Yin's eyes.
When he came back to his senses, Xiao Yichen had already arrived.
Old Mrs. Yin was startled and hurriedly knelt down.
A group of people behind her, like an old city wall, were crumbling and decaying. They suddenly bowed their heads to the ground and said, "Master."
The crowd was so dark that Xiao Yichen quickly found the exquisite jade head and raised the corner of his mouth inadvertently, "Get up, everyone, this is a good time for Master Shen, don't let me disturb you. It’s good to be in a good mood.”
Even if it is so slanderous, who dares to say it?
Isn't that a matter of wiping one's own neck with a knife?
Old Mrs. Yin replied in a good voice: "I didn't expect that the palace commander would also come here. The palace is simple and simple, and no table has been prepared. I'm afraid that the palace commander will be neglected."
Xiao Yichen's porcelain face was dyed with a playful smile, "The old lady's words are flattering to me. When I was a member of the Imperial Army in Wu County, my days of drinking blood were not few. Now I am just a little bit more holy, and my days are getting richer. , But if you don't forget the danger, how can you dislike the simple decoration of this banquet?"
People have said so, and any further excuses will only be disrespectful. Old Mrs. Yin agreed sincerely and handed it to Mr. Rong with a wink.
Mrs. Rong understood, turned her face and muttered a few words to Feng's mother who was accompanying her.
Mother Feng listened humbly. After the order was finished, she found a side door and retreated quickly.
After a while, Peng's eyes darkened slightly.
But then I thought about it, she is the mistress anyway, so what if Mrs. Rong has been asking for some favors from the old lady recently and getting some exposure? She was just an aunt, and she couldn't get the master's attention after all, let alone talk in front of Xiao Yichen, the commander.
Thinking like this, the sullenness in Peng's heart was gone, and her smile towards Xiao Yichen became more sincere, "Master, please sit down, drink Kouzi tea, eat your son's snacks to cushion your stomach, and wait for the table to be served." Come up."
Xiao Yichen didn't hesitate much, and the intricately woven gold embroidered python fluttered out tiny pieces of brilliance in front of everyone.
When everyone came back to their senses, they saw that he had landed on the high seat, leaning his body sideways, and stretching his delicate chin with his slender knuckles. At a glance, there was a terrifying power like a guillotine falling, which made people's hearts beat. Tremble.
The servant was anxious to serve the tea. Xiao Yichen held the cup and twisted the tea lid with his knife-wielding hand. There was no sudden feeling at all. Instead, it was natural and had a refined and noble look.
It fell in Shen Nanbao's eyes, it was very strange!
Although Chen Fangyan, whom she married in her previous life, was a playboy, his palms and fingertips had long been covered in thick calluses because he had practiced swords since he was a child. Logically speaking, Xiao Yichen, who was in command, should be even more so.
But his hands were different.
It's as delicate as heaven's work, like a jade carving, enough to make any woman feel ashamed just looking at it.
She was looking at him intently, probably because her gaze was too intense, which made Xiao Yichen's slightly raised eyes flicker.
The whole family served the giant Buddha carefully, paying breathless attention to every move. Not only Shen Shipeng, but also Shen Nanyi couldn't miss this look.
Just like that, Shen Nanbao, who was still hiding in the corner and being ignored by everyone, suddenly attracted attention.
A dozen glances, accompanied by the wind rushing in from the open window, made Shen Nanbao breathless for a moment, and all he could hear was Xiao Yichen's teasing voice.
"Fourth girl, you are very taciturn now!"
