Shen Nanbao stepped forward bravely and bowed politely in front of Shen Nanyi's blazing eyes, "Today is the day when my father's injustice will be vindicated, and it is also the day when the palace commander will come to my house. How can I be allowed to introduce him to you?" The little girl interrupted?"
Xiao Yichen's mouth was filled with amusement. He held the tea cup in one hand and rubbed it carefully with his fingertips.
It's like thinking about how to crush an ant.
But he was very handsome, and just such an action, against the soft light reflected by the glass lampshades everywhere in the room, gave him a unique and strange feeling.
If those eyes turn again to meet you, they will be even more breathtaking than a goblin.
Shen Nanyi under the lamp was a little startled. It was not that she had never seen those famous young men before, and it was not that those famous young men had crooked melons and cracked dates. On the contrary, they were handsome and graceful, wearing brocade robes and robes, holding folding fans in their hands, looking at the wind, moonflowers and willows. There are some insights and emotions, which can be regarded as Qi Chu charm, but compared with the commander in front of me, I always feel that there is something missing, so that it pales in retrospect.
Shen Nanyi suppressed her dizzy head, ignored Peng's horrified gaze, and stepped forward, "Fourth sister has just returned home. She didn't learn all the rules and bumped into the palace commander. I hope the palace commander won't blame him."
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be shy, but they were about to give up.
If a man were to find himself in such a situation, he would be confused and not know where to go.
Xiao Yichen seemed to be the same way. He raised his eyebrows and a bright light flashed in his eyes, "Miss Shen and the fourth girl are in the same spirit. They have a deep affection, which is quite touching."
After a compliment, Shen Nanyi's cheeks turned red, and she lowered her head and said even lower, "Mengdian Shuai is bragging."
Xiao Yichen curled his lips in a sneer, "However, the eldest girl is so devoted to the four girls who have just arrived. How come when Mr. Shen is in trouble, she shrinks into her shell and doesn't even show her face?"
Shen Nanyi was startled and looked extremely ugly.
Mrs. Peng was not much better. She secretly complained that the daughter she gave birth to was reckless and stupid. She had said everything before, but she didn't even think about it. Now she still wants to get on the stage in front of such an evil god. It's really crazy. !
She was angry in her heart, but after all, it was the meat that fell from her stomach and she couldn't let it go. Mrs. Peng could only laugh in agreement, "That day, Sister Yi and Sister Wan both went to the third girl from Gaofu who they were friends with. I heard that The news came back in a hurry, but I couldn't catch up."
Xiao Yichen smiled without saying anything, turned his head and looked at Shen Shi, who was still stunned, with his long eyebrows slightly raised.
"I'm afraid Master Shen may have heard this in confusion. That's right. Master Shen was captured that day in such a hurry that he had no time to take care of himself, let alone knowing that there were many children in the family that day. Only you, Master Shen, can recognize you." Fourth girl, come to me and tell your grievances for you."
During the phone call, his voice was steady, but he spoke sarcastically.
Shen Shi's old face couldn't stand it. He stood at the bottom, turning red and white.
Seeing this, Mrs. Yin quickly took Shen Nanbao's hand and stacked it in front of Shen Shi like a stack of books, "These days, things are so complicated. Just now, I was only thinking about you, so I forgot to tell you. ”
Old Mrs. Yin paused and patted the back of Shen Nanbao's hand, "This is the Gu family's posthumous son. He was living abroad because of that incident earlier. He only returned home after many twists and turns. He is a pitiful person. Please tell me more about him. How much do you love her."
Perhaps the old lady's words were touching.
Or maybe the word 'Gu', a name that was once so familiar, now sounds so distant and unfamiliar.
So Shen Shi was in a daze for a while, and then he came back to his senses. A bitter wrinkle appeared at the corner of his mouth, "It was my fault that made you suffer all these years. I came back recently, but it's okay. I'm here at home." Are you getting used to it?"
He seemed to be melancholy and repentant, but his eyes were cold and distant. With his friendly and warm voice, Shen Nanbao felt a little bit uncomfortable in his heart when he saw and listened.
However, in his previous life, he had experienced the shallowness of father's love that everyone praised Rushan. In this life, Shen Nanbao was not very sentimental. He lowered his eyes and tried to squeeze out a trace of emotion.
"I'm sorry for my father's concern. I used to be self-reliant when I was under the knees of Mr. and Mrs. Zhao. When I came to the house, I lived with Feng Yue and me in Rong Yuexuan where my biological mother used to live. I slept in the same place where my aunt used to sleep. Using the utensils that my aunt used, I always feel that my aunt is still around, which comforts me, and I don’t feel anything bad, let alone feel uncomfortable.”
She still had the same voice, flat and slow.
But the more this happens, the more deep resentment can be seen in the words.
What does it mean to be two people with the same wind and moon? What does it mean to have my aunt by your side?
Is she telling them that Mrs. Gu is still alive and watching them neglect her?
Even though Mrs. Yin had been prepared for Shen Nanbao's inappropriate behavior, her eyelids still couldn't help but twitch when she heard it.
When Mrs. Peng saw this, she patted her forehead, muttered and laughed, "I am too busy and confused! First I was worried about the master, and then I was thinking about the spring banquet, so I forgot to take care of Sister Bao. By chance, this Brother Bu Zhuo is following Qiu Wei? Didn’t the old lady send out some unscrupulous servants a while ago? The house has carefully calculated that it is short of people. I will go to the tooth shop tomorrow and buy some reliable and safe people. .”
Mrs. Yin glanced at Mr. Peng with dagger-like eyes, but she held up the brocade handkerchief and slowly tucked it into the corner of her mouth.
"Officials work diligently and care for the people. Only then can the people be prosperous. They can hear the singing of the phoenix in the morning and the sigh of the pony in the evening. However, the direct bachelor of Longtuge once lived on his father's porridge, and Li Wenjing was poor. Living in a simple room, Ji Wenzi had no clothes and encouraged his descendants to be thrifty and avoid extravagance. What's more, the master was tied up in prison due to his greed for money and was almost wrapped in ocher clothes. He couldn't be more vigilant and frugal to avoid difficulties. "
The conversation was not slow and fast, and Mrs. Peng's face turned blue and white for a while. She quickly grabbed the brocade handkerchief and replied with a smile: "My mother's admonishment is correct, but I didn't think properly."
Old Mrs. Yin ignored her, paused, and turned to look at Shen Nanbao, "Your mistress is too busy to pay attention, how come you have become a gourd with its mouth cut off? There is no rough man in the yard, and there is no one." Tell me, will you make me feel uncomfortable when you become obsessed with it?"
After saying this, he wiped the handkerchief to the tip of his eyes, which made him look very sincere.
Shen Nanbao had seen them look like this in his previous life, and his ears could not be softer.
But she could not hit the smiling man, and only after she had done enough on the surface, she was able to make plans, and her eyes turned red along with the old lady Yin, "Although the commander of the palace made the promise that day, it is still unclear what will happen, and my grandmother will inevitably I am worried about my father's affairs, and I have been lingering on my sick bed recently. I am afraid that if I tell my grandmother about my affairs again, she will be tired of her mind."
What he said was very filial, but he also did not forget to take credit for himself.
Old Mrs. Yin had no choice but to nod her head and acknowledge her kindness, "You have good intentions, but you can't be so careless about yourself. Now, although many servants in the house have been dismissed, there are still many people left. Wait until tomorrow." Son, I asked Mother Hu to go to the back room and find some capable people to work in your room."
Shen Nanbao was blessed and said, "Thank you, grandma."
After saying this, the servants filed in holding plates.
Seeing this, Mrs. Peng, who was clutching the brocade handkerchief that was about to become a ball, immediately stretched her waist and warmly invited Xiao Yichen to take a seat. He also helped Mrs. Yin to sit on her left side. She waited until the master sat down before taking her seat.
Shen Nanbao was naturally the last one to sit down. Next to Shen Nanwan, who was always good at putting on a show, he said "sister" and "sister" to each other, and he was eating quite well.
With the exchange of glasses of wine and the sound of clinking porcelain bowls, the table gradually became warm with wine.
Shen Shi couldn't help but stumbled to his feet, holding the cup in his arms, and sighed at Xiao Yichen, "When I saw you before, you were still so young, but now you have grown up to be so handsome, and so promising. If Liangfu sees you, I don’t know how to feel relieved.”
After saying these words, the noisy scene just now fell silent. The wind blew in from outside, making the bead curtain gurgling like rain, breaking like beads, and smashed into the ears of Old Mrs. Yin, making her heart skip a beat.
Liangfu is the brand name of Xiao Yichen's father, Xiao Bi.
At that time, Xiao Bi served as the governor of Pingzhang. Because he had different opinions with the governor who participated in politics, he was falsely accused of working with the fifth son of the official family, King Su, to release the guilty officials privately.
Officials have always been deeply suspicious, and they are even more disgusted with such cliques as clinging to the party for personal gain. After reading this general memorial, they were indiscriminate and immediately issued an order to kill Xiao Bi within a few days.
Although this matter is serious, if you think about it carefully, it is just dereliction of duty and abuse of power. The penalty is a year or two of salary. If someone can go to the memorial hall and plead for mercy, the official may be able to withdraw his life.
Unexpectedly, those official cowards gathered around Xiao Bi to fawn over and show off their power, but when the critical moment came, no one interceded. Even Shen Shi, who had been classmates with Xiao Bi for many years, remained silent and watched.
This made Xiao Bi go to jail and die overnight.
Fortunately, Xiao Yichen was born extraordinary. Although he was stripped of his title and no longer had a prominent family background, he did not feel decadent about his unrequited ambitions. He was so ruthless that he joined the military service and gained successive military exploits. Tired and tired, it attracted the attention of officials.
I don't know whether it was because seeing Xiao Yichen's appearance that was similar to Xiao Bi's made the official feel overwhelmed with regret, or whether it was because he truly cherished his talent.
Anyway, the official family ignored the advice of hundreds of officials and made an exception by appointing Xiao Yichen, and promoted him all the way to the current commander-in-chief of the palace.
Xiao Yichen naturally lived up to expectations. As a new official, he poured fuel on the fire as soon as he took office. He imprisoned all the officials who framed his father and punished him for days.
So when Xiao Yichen came to the house to arrest someone, everyone was on tenterhooks, fearing that it was Xiao Yichen who would not forget the gap and torture Shen Shi.
Shen Shi felt guilty in the darkroom and was very afraid of him. Now after drinking a few sips of wine, he became bolder and even mentioned Xiao Bi without taboo.
Mrs. Yin didn't know what to do now. She just asked Xiao Yichen not to be too fussy about seeing people drunk.
But who is Xiao Yichen? He is used to licking blood from the edge of a knife, and is ruthless in his work. His heart is harder than a stone, and his belly is smaller than a sparrow. He usually has an arm-length relationship with the governors. How could he hold a shadow actor with Shen Shi? When he came on stage, he immediately smiled coldly and said, "Master Shen is absolutely right."
