Shen Nanyi blinked for a moment, looking thoughtful.
The ear room became quiet as a result, and with the patter of rain, I could clearly hear Shen Nanyiwan over there changing her tone and saying in a high tone: "I've seen Uncle Xie."
Xie Yuanchang's voice was as hearty as ever, crisp and mellow like jade, "I have long heard Yuan Ting talk about the big girl. It's better to hear it than to see it once. She is really a beautiful girl in a golden house. Her clothes are neat and her words are vivid."
Shen Nanyi had rarely heard such a handsome young master being praised so much by a man, and he immediately felt embarrassed and said, "Thank you for the compliment, but it's nothing."
Xie Yuanchang only smiled, "Girl, please don't be self-effacing. After all, we are all girls from the Shen family. Naturally, we have both physical and mental skills, and are virtuous and harmonious."
Ana Shen muttered in his position, his ears burning red.
As Xie Yuanchang watched, his mind jumped out of Shen Nanbao's delicate outline under the curtain.
It's probably because their biological mothers are different, so the two look somewhat similar from a distance, but up close, their eyebrows, apricot lips, and even their movements have different charms.
Xie Yuanchang sighed, somewhat uninterested, and his polite compliments were not very heartfelt.
But no matter what, when I was a guest at my friend's house, I wanted to save some face with my friend and my friend's sister, so I tried to deal with it a few words, and then said: "Old An, to tell you the truth, I came here today to bother you because I have something to do. Find Yuan Ting."
Old Mrs. Yin is a person who has been around for a long time. When she heard this, she knew that she, half of her body buried in the ground, was here to block the interest of the younger generation. Previously, at the wedding of the eldest daughter, she was politely rejected by the wife of the Duke's Mansion, and she felt in her heart. I have always been worried about it, just hoping to find someone better than the uncle of Qinghe Prefecture, so that I can feel proud in the future.
Now there is a suitable one in front of her. Although she is of the same generation as Zhuo Geer, she is a little younger in age. The crown she will reach this year is a perfect match for her Yi Jieer.
What's more, Xie Yuanchang is the son of the founding earl. Although the nephews of the same country's duchess have the same title, one is in Qinghe and the other is in Jinling. It is natural to see their superiority.
And he himself is still a well-known talent in Beijing circles. In the future, he will become a second-ranking Jinshi. It is easy to catch him.
Many families were looking at such a person eagerly, and even the wife of the Duke of Guo secretly had a plan to recruit him as their wife.
If Sister Yi's beard is cut off, it will inevitably make the Duke and his wife stunned.
Forget it, she shouldn't be that Optimus Prime who makes the juniors cautious. It's better to leave and ask them to spend more time with each other in private, so as to enhance their relationship.
Old Mrs. Yin thought to herself, stood up, called Mrs. Peng to help her, and sighed, "What you said reminded me that when the time comes to take medicine, I can only neglect to thank my uncle."
Xie Wenzhuo didn't have any worries in his heart. He was only worried about the health of Mrs. Yin. "I heard that my grandmother was sick earlier. When I came back and saw that my grandmother was eating well, I thought she was better. Isn't this better? But the doctor prescribed it. The medicine doesn’t work? Or are you sick again?”
Old Mrs. Yin smiled, and her eyes were filled with a little kindness that was rarely seen in ordinary times. "I am old and not as good as you. If you catch a cold, you can just wrap yourself up in a quilt and cover it up. You need to use your muscles and bones." The days are slowly approaching, and it doesn’t matter, it’s just a minor illness.”
Mrs. Peng also echoed, "Brother Zhuo, don't worry, your mother will be safe with me taking care of her."
Only then did Shen Wenzhuo's frown relax.
Mrs. Peng glanced at Shen Nanyi again, fearing that she would follow her foolishly, and gave an extra warning, "Sister Yi, please follow Uncle Xie and Brother Zhuo to talk."
Shen Nanyi was well aware of the painstaking efforts of her elders. She became more and more tangled in twisting the kerchief, stood up with a bright red face, and watched Old Mrs. Yin go away with Xie Yuanchang and the others.
When Shen Nanbao heard the news of Mrs. Yin's departure, he also put down his lamp and said to Shen Nanwan, "It's time for grandma to take medicine. I'll go to the back room to take a look."
Shen Nanwan didn't stop her, her smile was hidden behind the plum blossom fan embroidered with gold thread, "Fourth sister is still so diligent."
Shen Nanbao bent his knees and pursed his lips with a smile, "My mistress must not treat me well, so I can only serve my grandmother diligently and hope that she will be obedient when she sees me. She feels pity for me from the bottom of her heart and takes care of me more." Stop me, otherwise life will be very difficult."
These words were so lonely and sincere that Shen Nanwan was startled, with no smile at all, and she watched Shen Nanbao lead Fengyue out through the curtain.
The rain was still falling, and thin threads like awns covered the dome like silk gauze, blocking the skylight. They fell on the bamboo curtain and were cut into strands, gathering Shen Nanwan's expression in a hazy state.
She heard that the other side was still talking freely, and for a moment, she closed her eyes and rested her mind.
Seeing this, Yun Pan came forward and asked, "Sister, the tea is cold. Do you want to make another cup?"
Shen Nanwan shook his head, "No need, I'll leave later."
Yun Pan was a little puzzled and wanted to ask why she waited a while, but her sister had always had her own opinion, so she didn't need to ask any more questions, so she withdrew and listened through a curtain: "Yuan Ting, you don't have to Don’t worry too much, my grandmother’s body has always been strong and healthy, but she has been suffering from a lingering illness due to the sudden changes in temperature and cold in recent days.”
Shen Wenzhuo seemed to be comforted, and the worry on his face faded away with these words, and he just sighed, "Sister, I know, but I come back once in a while, and every time I come back, I see my grandmother's white hair growing on her temples. As he got older, the wrinkles on his brows became deeper, and he couldn't help but mourn his parents and lament the indifference of Haotian."
Xie Yuanchang knew that his good friend had a compassionate and kind heart, so he immediately raised his voice and laughed at him, "Although Taoism is a human behavior, there is nothing greater than filial piety. Everyone has a heart of kindness and filial piety, but parents are still alive and the home is peaceful." , why should we be so unfounded and worried that it will make our dear relatives weep and feel sad?"
Shen Nanyi echoed, "No, third brother, if your grandmother sees you like this, it will only make her feel more uncomfortable."
Shen Wenzhuo let out a long sigh, then regained his composure, and when he came back to his senses, he saw the two of them looking at him, clasping his fists in shame, "I told you to worry too."
Xie Yuanchang just said nothing.
Shen Wenzhuo then remembered to ask him, "Why did you come to me today?"
This is a serious bookworm. His brain is so full of all this that he can’t hold anything else in it, so much so that he doesn’t even understand what others are saying.
Xie Yuanchang sighed in his heart and looked at Shen Nanyi who was sitting upright, "Young lady should understand what I mean."
Shen Nanyi was usually a smart person in addition to her eager temper. After being reminded by Xie Yuanchang, Shen Nanyi immediately came to her senses. However, because of Xie Yuanchang's compliment just now and the master's deliberate matchmaking, her thoughts were distorted. I thought Xie Yuanchang had figured out how to get along with him in private.
The more he thought about it, the more Shen Nanyi's heart beat like a drum, her cheeks turned red, she put on a reserved smile and said angrily: "I understand."
Sure enough, talking to smart people saves your worries.
No need to waste your breath.
Xie Yuanchang breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth that were pursed at first curled up in a grin, "It's strange that I'm used to being at ease. Although I don't bother talking to my elders, I don't want to keep chatting with them. I hope you can forgive me."
Only then did Shen Wenzhuo react. Thinking of his grandmother's reaction just now, he said, "Oh," "Then you..."
The drawn-out voice fell next to Shen Nanyi's ears, making her feel more and more cramped. She was sitting on pins and needles in her seat, thinking that she hadn't invited a matchmaker to come and tell her fortune...
Even if Uncle Xie has some affection for her, if Shen Wenzhuo breaks through this layer of paper at this moment, she will be so embarrassed to meet Uncle Xie...
Thinking of this, Xie Yuanchang intercepted Shen Wenzhuo's words and said: "It's all free to complain or joke. Anyway, I am used to being so unruly, and my mother often scolds me."
As he said that, Xie Yuanchang looked behind the screen and asked, "Is the fourth sister here? Although we are not supposed to meet my foreign husband, we have met before and can be regarded as acquaintances. Now it is not inappropriate to see each other again!"
The smile was fixed at the corner of his mouth, and it was so stiff that Shen Nanyi was stunned on the spot, and her voice was out of tune, "Fourth sister?"
Xie Yuanchang nodded unconsciously, "Yes, fourth sister."
Just now he called himself eldest girl.
Shen Nanbao is called Fourth Sister.
Which one is close and which one is distant is obvious!
Shen Nanyi had a hateful look in her eyes, and her fingertips fell on the chair, almost wanting to dig a hole.
When Shen Nanwan heard this, he stood up slowly and walked in with his forbidden steps. He was filled with joy in Xie Yuanchang's surprised look, "Thank you, uncle, the fourth sister is not here."
Xie Yuanchang's brows that were raised just now drooped, and Lonely returned the greeting to Shen Nanwan, "Weren't you here just now? Why aren't you here anymore?"
The voice was full of annoyance, and Shen Nanyi picked up the tea on the side and drank it.
Shen Nanwan didn't react at all, still smiling, "The fourth sister usually makes medicine with my grandmother. When I heard that my grandmother was going to take the medicine, I followed her."
Xie Yuanchang listened in confusion.
That day he went back to his home and asked about Shen Nanbao, and then he learned about her withering life experience.
After going around in circles for so many years, I just want to beg my own grandmother to love her more.
That's why he didn't hesitate to lower his status and cook the medicine himself.
This was the filial piety of the fourth sister. Xie Yuanchang didn't bother to question her more. He only complained that he should have called her earlier, which was not invisible.
Although he did come to Shen Mansion today to have something to do with Xie Wenzhuo, it was not urgent and he could go to Lushan Academy to discuss and resolve the matter.
Thinking about it carefully, I couldn't wait to come here just to meet my fourth sister.
Xie Yuanchang also didn't understand why he cared about her so much. Maybe it was the indifferent emphasis, the calm demeanor, or the sudden appearance of her face.
Anyway, no matter what, he just wanted to come and see his fourth sister today.
Now that it was all in vain, I couldn't even talk about regret, but there was some regret in my heart, so I replied in a confused manner, "That's it..."
Such a lonely look fell in Shen Nanyi's eyes, making her laugh angrily, "It's strange that my third brother and I don't quite understand Uncle Xie's thoughts. It would have been better if I had called Ming Zheng to stop him in the ear room just now. It’s good to be melancholy here.”
