When the sunshine and warmth did not last longer than one day, the Bodhisattva became stingy and cried miserably for a long time. He soaked Jinling in a pool of water, making everyone's body feel wet.
The golden lotus planted in the yard just yesterday was trembling slightly in the fine rain. Occasionally, when the rain accumulated on the eaves, it swayed violently, freeing itself from the water.
Fengyue and Yourou happened to be passing by, and they were caught off guard, causing stains all over their skirts.
"The weather has been a bit unkind today. How long did it last until it cleared up? It started raining again. A while ago, I was looking at the sun and wanted to change into a thin shirt. Now I wrap up my coat again."
Yourou's voice is as its name suggests, as thin as a gossamer. Hearing Fengyue's muttering, she smiled, "Jinling is like this. I heard those old people say that the sky in Jinling is like a woman's face, very cloudy and sunny. "
The two chatted casually, turned into the hanging flower door, and stepped into the inner room one after another.
Shen Nanbao was standing in front of the case, writing in his sleeves.
Fengyue was not very surprised when she saw this, she told Yourou to put the basin, walked to the desk, glanced at the paper with half of the words written on it, and said, "Sister, why don't you wait for me to serve you?" Freshen up and copy Buddhist scriptures?"
Judging from Fengyue, the master doesn't like to see my sister very much. Why should I copy these Buddhist scriptures so diligently every day and then go to the master to ask for trouble?
Shen Nanbao stretched his eyebrows, looking at the spring rain outside the eaves, and the beautiful appearance, and said with a sigh: "Anyway, I have nothing to do when you come. Please go to the window to ask for a pen and inkstone, and listen to the sound of the rain hitting the flowers. It's quite interesting." It has the charm of 'low paper is laid slanting and grassing leisurely, and tea is played with thin breasts under a clear window'."
This is what my sister calls "enjoy yourself".
Feng Yue's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't bear to say any more. She turned around and rummaged in the copper basin with her towel, "Sister, please wash up first. I'll wait for my son to have his breakfast later."
Shen Nanbao just wrote after hearing this.
Feng Yue took advantage of her and turned her face on her face, and said in the midst of the turbulent sound: "This is the servant who was not very smart yesterday. I brought it to you according to my sister's instructions."
Shen Nanbao wiped his face calmly, put a towel beside him, leaned over to take the water from Yourou, rolled it in his mouth, spit it into the basin, then turned his eyes and focused on Yourou. Rou's slightly drooped brows.
"How long have you been staying at the house?"
The sudden question made Yourou stunned for a moment, she came back to her senses and knelt down and said, "Returning to my sister, the younger one is a child born in the family. As long as he has memory, he has been staying in the backyard of Shen's house."
Shen Nanbao raised his eyebrows slightly, but his tone was slow, "Since you are a son of the family, you are naturally familiar with the Shen family. Although I have a moonlight here, there are some things that I don't understand, so I have to ask you."
The word 'please' was too strong, which made Yourou look panicked, "Sister, you don't have to be so polite, just ask. As long as you know something, you should know that there is nothing you can't say without saying anything."
Shen Nanbao sat down by the window, took a spoon and stirred the tower-like incense ashes in the incense niche, "I want to ask..."
The words came to an abrupt end when the servant suddenly entered the room, "Sister, please go to the front hall quickly, the uncle of the founding Earl's family is here."
"Uncle is here?"
Feng Yue's eyes widened in shock, and then she grinned, "Sister, you have to dress up well, and you have to show your fate of acquaintance with the uncle in front of the eldest daughter, so that the eldest daughter will be jealous!"
Fengyue looked full of energy. She turned around and took out half an arm of lotus root-colored silk from the cage. "Sister, please wear this! I saw you wearing it last time. Your shoulders and back were thin and delicate, like a delicate flower."
Shen Nanbao laughed, "I just woke up and I'm dreaming again! What nonsense are you talking about! The uncle must be here for the third brother, why should I join in the fun? Besides, the eldest sister is the legitimate daughter, she should be accompanying the foreign guests Talk, where can I get my turn?"
Shen Nanbao changed the half arm of Fengyue's hand into a jade-colored one, and put on a lotus-colored short jacket and a long white skirt. She asked Yourou to just sweep the room without touching the ornaments, and then walked out of Rong Yuexuan refreshingly. .
The closer the two of them got to the front hall, the more they heard the sound of boiling water.
Fengyue held an umbrella and said quietly: "This man, you can tell by his voice whether you want to see him or not. Commander Xiao came to the house twice, and each time he was not shocked into silence. On the other hand, this young uncle, as soon as he came, It made everyone in the house smile with joy."
Shen Nanbao ascended the steps, and when the wind and moon took off his umbrella, he softly replied: "My uncle is of high status, has great talents, and has an amazing appearance. If he falls in front of any family with a girl, he will not be a sweetheart, let alone Eldest sister’s marriage has not yet been decided, and she has been ridiculed overtly and covertly by the Duke’s wife, so naturally she has to rush to please her.”
Fengyue was a little stunned, but also a little stunned, "That sister should have listened to me and changed into that set of clothes."
From her point of view, the Shen Mansion treats her sister and son like nothing more than a mere thing. They put it away when not in use, and use it to ward off disasters when they are needed. How can they care about their sister and son's future?
Her sister should be like a big girl, worrying about her own marriage.
I've seen that uncle Feng Yue, he is a considerate master, and he doesn't treat my sister like people like the Shen family who only look at people through their nostrils.
Sister, I should take good care of such a glorious person!
Shen Nanbao walked carelessly on the verandah, looking at the rain outside, and sneered, "You don't know what I'm going to do when I come back? I just said this and stayed close to my in-laws, but now I haven't even got a hairpin yet, and secondly The factors for marriage are right, and the custom of being a Marquis of Jing is to compare one's father and ancestors, and one's money must be compared. How can I get a position like my uncle's, so I'd better give up this idea as soon as possible."
So, what my sister said.
Is it really as the old lady said, worthy of a poor scholar?
Fengyue felt as if she had fallen into a vinegar vat, feeling sour.
However, Shen Nanbao opened the curtain through the side door and entered with a very normal attitude.
Everyone's demeanor, although they are guests, they are foreigners after all. None of the girls in the family said that they wanted to meet each other, so they separated the curtain and sat in the penthouse behind the screen, just looking at the shadowy figure and the oriole's cry. Seeing a gift can be regarded as a reception.
Shen Nanbao stepped back and saluted Shen Nanyi one after another. Then he chose the last one to sit down and remained silent in his position with his eyes, nose, nose and heart in mind.
Seeing that she was so self-aware, Shen Nanyi looked at her simplicity, and because there were foreigners around, there was a slight contemptuous curve at the corner of her mouth, so she stopped caring about her.
Old Mrs. Yin also didn't want to fall into the family jokes because of the presence of foreign guests. She looked at the figures over there and sat down. She turned her eyes and smiled at Xie Yuanchang: "I heard Brother Zhuo say that you are back too. I also wanted to I invite you to have a banquet at my house and thank you for taking care of Brother Zhuo at Lushan Academy."
Xie Yuanchang was quite good at putting on airs in front of his elders. Hearing what Mrs. Yin said, he quickly said politely, "We are all helping each other. After all, we all have our own inconveniences when we are thousands of miles away from home. When we see other people's difficulties, we help each other. If Hui'er himself is in trouble, others will help him."
Xie Wenzhuo teased him, "What you said is true. I lost my right foot, and I was worried about having no way out. You ruined half of your hard work and me, and solved my urgent need, but made others laugh at your half-month search." "You lost your money and were struggling to make a living. I took you to eat a simple meal for half a month, which made your teacher look at you, and your classmates started spreading rumors. If you didn't tell me, I didn't feel it. But once you said it, it was really you coming and going. "
Shen Nanbao listened to a few words and found that they were just polite words, so she felt indifferent. In addition, the uncle came early. She had just finished washing and had not had breakfast, so she hurried over. After sitting for such a while, my stomach was already beating.
Shen Nanbao leaned forward, leaned on the chair, and went to get the tea fruit on the high table to eat.
Seeing this, Shen Nanwan quietly stacked the plate of pancake cakes in front of her with a gold fan, and smiled.
Before Shen Nanbao had time to say thank you, Shen Nanyi held the cup leisurely and snorted, "When did the second sister and the fourth sister get so close?"
Shen Nanyi stroked the small breasts on the tea soup and said in a sweet voice: "Yes, the third brother can take the fourth sister on a trip. It can be seen that the two of you have been together for a long time and have a close friendship. You blame me for eating in vain." Luo Bao is not worried, but he keeps worrying about his second sister."
As he spoke, Shen Nanyi took a sip of tea, and when he put down the cup, he caught a glimpse of Shen Nanbao sitting there as if he hadn't heard anything, still putting food into his mouth with a serious look on his face, and couldn't help but get excited.
"Fourth sister, I'm talking to you! I've been here for so long, and I don't even understand the rules of the elders."
Shen Nanyi's voice was slightly raised, and Shen Nanwan covered her face with a fan.
However, Shen Nanbao held up the handkerchief and wiped the residue on his hands, drank tea to clear his throat, and said: "Sister, if you don't care about these things, why not think about the admonitions given by your grandmother and you a few days ago, and how old you were at the spring banquet. , and then the eldest sister will set an example by being consistent with her words and deeds, and maybe my rules, both big and small, will no longer exist."
These words were like a drumstick, beating her ears so hard that Shen Nanyi trembled and raised her hand to scold him.
Over there, Mother Hu lifted the bead curtain and walked in, "Miss, the old lady lets you go."
The anger seemed to have found a gap and vented in an instant.
Shen Nanyi stood up proudly and secretly yelled at Shen Nanbao, so what if his words had the upper hand? The identity is here, she is the concubine, and she is the only one who deserves to be in the scene. These concubines can only watch with envy through a curtain.
As for marriage, she was the only one who could go to great lengths to marry into a prominent family, while they picked out their leftovers and held them carefully. If she could match a high-ranking official as his wife, it would be pie in the sky. Exalted!
Thinking like this, Shen Nanyi straightened her waist straighter and walked out with a breeze.
Shen Nanwan then whispered: "Why should the fourth sister be angry with the eldest sister? If this causes trouble again, I'm afraid she will suffer."
Shen Nanbao looked at his frozen brows in the tea soup and slowly responded to her, "I can't help it. I gave in to my eldest sister earlier, but my eldest sister is becoming more and more indulgent just like my grandmother said. , if this continues like this, even if I don't say anything, she will still make everyone unable to step down. It's better to let her know early on that I am not the soft persimmon who can be manipulated by others, and maybe I can still be a little superficial."
