Shen Nanwan was dazzled by her bright smile for a moment. He even forgot to shake his fan, and his smile stayed there stiffly, "No need, I don't like to go to crowded places. The sun is getting bigger and it's not comfortable to be exposed to the sun." If you feel uncomfortable, let Yuan Ting accompany you."
Shen Wenzhuo looked at the red sun and didn't invite her. He just asked: "What does the second sister want to buy? I will buy it for the second sister."
Shen Nanwan shook his head, "I always have my aunt to take care of everything I need, and I never miss anything."
Shen Wenzhuo said nothing more.
After making an appointment with Shen Wenzhuo to meet at the west corner gate, Shen Nanbao went back to the house and picked out a lotus-colored long skirt and a peacock half-arm to change into.
It was something that couldn't wait.
Shen Nanbao suddenly lit three incense sticks at the incense burner.
The straight smoke rises gradually, curling like a string.
Fengyue passed by, sending a gust of wind carelessly, scattering the smoke path.
"Sister, why are you offering incense?"
Shen Nanbao looked at the light of the orangutan fire, narrowed his eyes slightly, and did not answer.
Feng Yue clicked her tongue and said no more knowingly. She took a pea-green belt and tied it around her waist, then changed the topic, "Sister, you just spent fifty taels, and it's so little." , what can you buy?”
Shen Nanbao smiled at her fussy look and said, "I kind of know why others often say, 'It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality.' Look at you, how many days have you returned to Shen's house?" By the end of the day, my horizons were so high that I couldn’t even look down on those few coins.”
Fengyue blushed and muttered: "No, I just feel bad seeing money being spent in such large quantities."
“Isn’t the purpose of saving money just to spend it?”
Shen Nanbao looked at her scornfully, and pointed his plain white fingers at the window, where the deep spring wind came in, and felt a warmth on her face. She took a deep breath, and felt that her internal organs were cleansed, " You don't have to just save it and pile it up into a mountain. It's not just enough for you to admire and comfort yourself with the red flowers and green willows outside? Is this kind of money still money? "
Fengyue couldn't help but said yes, and raised her hand to put the curtain up.
The snow-white rolled gauze, long and soft, blocked Shen Nanbao's sight for a moment. She lifted up a corner like a curtain and whispered: "Have you brought enough money? I don't want to wait until the money is gone. Having so little money is a joke."
That's right to say...
Feng Yue pouted, and while helping Shen Nanbao step out of the threshold, she said nonchalantly: "There is still the third young master here. If we really meet him, we can just let him take care of him first, but I think... Sisters shouldn't take money out. Didn't the eldest girl say that the eldest sister is like mother? The eldest brother is also like father. It's better to let the third son do what the master has not done."
"What are you talking about? Why should my third brother do it if my father didn't do it?"
Shen Nanbao paused, but there was a veil between him, but his voice was not vague at all, "I am very grateful to the third brother for taking me out. How can I have the nerve to ask him to pay for it out of his own pocket? How can you learn to get along with me all the time? If you act like them, confusing affection and duty, it’s natural for you to push yourself to the limit!”
It was obvious who they were referring to.
Fengyue was a little embarrassed, "I understand, little one."
Her expression was filled with loneliness and sporadic resentment, and she was obviously unconvinced.
Shen Nanbao looked at it and sighed deeply, "If you think about it carefully, although my third brother and I have a blood relationship, it is just a face-to-face relationship. He could have followed the example of his grandmother and others and treated me with dignity. Why do you need to worry about all these details of mine? Now that he is willing to treat me well, why should I vent my anger towards my grandmother and the others on him? Isn’t it because of those bad people who punished the good people?"
The light and shadow passed through the branches of the trees and shone on Feng Yue's round face, making her voice muffled in a trance.
"Sister, you said it last time, saying that the second girl is not good, that some people are just covering up with a layer of compassion. He and the second girl are from the same mother. As the saying goes, a dragon begets a dragon, and a phoenix begets a phoenix. Sister Are you so willing to trust Third Young Master?"
Shen Nanbao's forehead hurt. Why didn't she think that this little girl was so old-fashioned and stubborn in her previous life? From whom did you learn the virtue of knocking over a whole boat of people with one stroke?
She clicked her feet in annoyance, "The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes! How come you and I have been so close to each other since we were young? Forget it, I think you can't get over it for a while, so don't go out with me. , so as not to irritate my eyes and block my heart. Anyway, grandma will call the servants over later, so you can just go and lure them!"
Fengyue immediately trembled.
When she was in Zhao Mansion, there weren't so many rules. She could go out every day to see the lotus shed and peony shed with tiles on the south side of the street.
Now that she came to Shen Mansion, every day she looked down and saw the smoke and grass, and when she looked up, she saw the four-cornered sky. Feng Yue felt like she was about to die!
She quickly said angrily, "Sister, I know I'm wrong, and I'm also afraid. Look at what happened a while ago, which made me so worried all day long. How dare I hope for this pot of random stew? It seems like the Shen Mansion has a good dish!"
Seeing that Shen Nanbao was unmoved, Feng Yue's voice became even softer, "Good sister, please take back your life quickly, otherwise the little one will be buried under the cover of this deep well before the big girl yells at her. The Shen Mansion is so stuffy!"
The conversation made Shen Nanbao's anger turn into a smile, his brows were not raised, his lips were not curled, and his face became extremely tangled.
Fortunately, the curtain was put on, so Shen Wenzhuo didn't see her dumbfounded when he came over. He only saw her standing with her head held high under the trees with scattered sun shadows. Her graceful and graceful figure was like a lotus flower in front of the Buddha, with a solemn appearance.
He felt suffocated, and when he came back to his senses, he was a little flustered, and his tone of voice was trembling, "We've got it ready. The carriage is the one I usually use for school. Fourth sister... I shouldn't dislike it. ? I just sued my mother..."
When it came to the fight, he didn't know what he wanted to say, so he stood there, wearing an extremely elegant robe with lotus and branches wrapped around it, scratching his head vigorously, with embarrassment in the corners of his warm eyes and eyebrows.
Shen Nanbao knew that the women he always dealt with in the school were some of the women in his family. But she was an anomaly. She had grown so big and suddenly came into the house. She had blood with him, but she had nothing to do with the one outside. The woman was just as strange, so it was no wonder that Shen Wenzhuo was at a loss.
Therefore, she smiled thoughtfully and said, "I can do it. When I was in the Zhao family, I never took a carriage when I went out. Today, thanks to the honor of my third brother, I can take a ride."
She spoke happily, but the longing revealed in her words made Shen Wenzhuo feel sad.
The fourth sister is obviously her father's child and a member of Shen's family, but due to her biological mother's fault, she had lived a simple life for more than ten years and did not enjoy the dignity of a young lady. Now she is just riding in a carriage, and she is so happy!
Shen Wenzhuo was a little confused. When he got on the carriage, he sat opposite him like a gentleman. As the carriage swayed and the dazzling skylight came in, he spoke.
"If the fourth sister wants to take a ride, the third brother will buy one for you. When I go to school, if you want to go out, there will be a carriage to pick you up."
When he said this, he looked at her carefully, but the thin layer of soap veil completely covered the expression on her face, so he couldn't see clearly.
Shen Nanbao knew that he was worried, so he still shook his head in that relaxed tone.
"No, I don't need anything on weekdays, but when I need to send the comprador, if I really need to go out of the house in person, I can borrow my second sister's. Why should I let my third brother spend so much money?"
She paused and pursed her lips slightly, "Actually, I'm not afraid of Third Brother's jokes. I'm thinking about it for myself. After all, with a carriage, I have to reward the coachman and buy fodder. Although the money is not much, I would rather Save it and buy more for yourself.”
He had never heard this from the eldest sister and the second sister.
Presumably, it was the small family spirit that was cultivated in the outside world.
But who can blame her?
If you want to blame it, just bad luck.
Anyway, if he tries to treat her better in the future and let her know more, maybe it won't be like this anymore.
Having made up his mind, Shen Wenzhuo got off the carriage and took her to the most elegant restaurant in Jinling to eat and drink.
Shen Nanbao didn't want to spoil his interest, so he privately asked Fengyue to go to the comprador, and then followed Shen Wenzhuo to Jingshui Tower.
Jingshui Tower is derived from the saying that "the first person to get the moon is the tower near the water", and it is built around the water. It is poetic and picturesque and a good omen, so it is very popular among literati.
If you have something to do, come here to talk about it, drink a few sips of wine, and let go of your thoughts in front of the boat that will never return.
If you have nothing to do, invite your friends, pour a pot of tea, sit in the small building on the second floor, watch the water flowing in the morning and evening, and have a half-day of leisure.
Shen Nanbao had been here with Chen Yanfang several times in her previous life, but they had other purposes and Wu Sheng was present, so she was very reserved.
Now that she was only with Shen Wenzhuo, she could look around, relive the things she had seen in her previous life, and make up for the regrets she had not seen before.
Unexpectedly, Shen Wenzhuo was looking at this look, and he didn't dare to think about how his fourth sister had lived in the Zhao family for more than ten years. As soon as he entered the private room, he asked Dr. Tea to brew a pot of fine Biluochun. Then they brought candied fruits, sugar dumplings, and poria cakes and placed them on the table like a Manchu banquet.
"But these are not the best. Xiangyinzi is their specialty here. The paste is soaked in ice first. When it is served, pour your favorite honey juice on it, such as lychee or red bean. , goat milk, anyway, there is nothing you can’t think of, there is nothing they can’t make.”
Shen Wenzhuo spoke with great energy, and in one hand he took a few plates of snacks and stacked them in front of her, with a mentality of offering treasures, "However, these are also very well done. You eat them first to relieve your boredom, and the liquid will be there later." arrive!"
The spirited young man had always been taken care of, but now he took care of her. He was not irritable, but was thorough and considerate. The reason behind this was simply 'taking great pains'.
