Lu Kui just thought that she was wandering around in the underworld, kowtowed as if she had saved her life, and thanked her repeatedly. When she saw that Peng's expression was a little impatient, she immediately turned around and left.
Shen Nanyi looked at the hurried figure and said with some embarrassment, "Mother, why did you let her go? If she gives her a good beating, it will make Shen Nanbao even more deflated."
Mrs. Peng glanced at her and said, "What do you know? Except for Feng Yue, Rong Yuexuan is either mine or your grandmother's person. If you ask me to fight Lu Kui, wouldn't I be slapping your grandmother in the face?"
He probably didn't expect the twists and turns. After hearing this, Shen Nanyi stared blankly for a long time, then regained his composure, and then suddenly held the table with regret, "This Shen Nanbao! You really came prepared!"
"What are you angry about? What's there to be angry about? A villain's success is only temporary."
Feeling the doubtful look from Shen Nanyi, Mrs. Peng chuckled softly, "Originally, because of the second girl's matter, Mother Wang came to pay homage to me, so I thought it would dampen her mood and punish her. I planned to let her go for a while, but I didn’t expect her to be so persevering, but it was so touching..."
Mrs. Peng paused and fanned lightly. The dazzling reflection of the fan covered her narrowed eyes, making her expression look very profound.
"She's just a thirteen-year-old girl. Who among me and the old lady has not eaten more salt than she has eaten? She still wants to come and fight with us? It's ridiculous that a small earthworm can shake a big tree."
Mrs. Peng laughed out loud, her voice as cold as ice.
Suddenly I heard her shout "Mother Zheng" in a high voice.
The old woman who was dispatching the servants over there came over. She was wearing a brocade coat with Chinese characters on the cuffs. She saluted respectfully, "Madam."
Mrs. Peng raised her chin and said, "Go to the long house in Bishan and tell Mother Hu that the two girls' hairpin gifts are almost ready. Then ask her to ask the old lady what guests she wants to invite, so that I can be prepared. The roster... Let’s talk about ‘Lukui’ by the way.”
Shen Nanbao can attract others by offering advice, so why can't she attract others?
Naxiang Lukui returned to Rong Yuexuan almost in a hurry.
Shen Nanbao was copying the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra" at the desk. When he heard the movement, he didn't even raise his head. He went to the inkstone and licked his pen, "You're back? Did the lady let you in?"
Lu Kui nodded and said in a weak voice, "Enter..."
Shen Nanbao raised his eyes and looked at her with a smile, "After entering, which lady asked you first? Or your name first?"
Lu Kui listened to her pounding heart and wondered, "How did I know that the madam wanted to ask for my little one's name?"
Although more than ten years have passed since that incident, it still cost a human life. At first glance, hearing the name back then is shocking.
The smile on Shen Nanwan's lips deepened, but he did not answer her question, and went to the jade tablet to read the pen, "I think the eldest lady is so angry that you don't even care about the pain of your companion's hand. I'm afraid my son will not be able to bear it later." Their anger.”
The words he had just sworn so solemnly now made Lu Kui feel ashamed and regretful.
This is why you cannot be a good person.
Otherwise, if you destroy the expectations that others place on you, you will become an unforgivable villain!
I am so upset that I can't even spit it out. I can only blame myself for talking too much.
So Lu Kui didn't say a word, just hung his head and endured it.
Shen Nanbao picked up the paperweight, stretched out a full sheet and said, "Go down and let them make the swing with you."
She said, blowing the wet ink on the paper for a moment, "You have many people, you can drive the swing out in a hurry."
Lu Kui was like a thunder strike, and he was about to say how could the huge swing project be completed in a short time?
Fengyue, who had taken hair oil from the steward, suddenly entered the room with an angry look on her face.
Seeing this, Shen Nanbao chuckled, "What? Are you being annoyed by the management office again?"
After being exposed, the anger was like being thrown into cold water, and the desire to express it was instantly gone.
Fengyue bowed her knees and said, "That's not really true. I just wanted to ask Zhang Shilian for some money for the newly purchased osmanthus hair oil. Unexpectedly, he said that this thing was for the second girl and her hairpin. He definitely didn't dare to give it to anyone else. .”
Feng Yue pinched her throat and picked up Zhang Shilian's tooth wisdom in a strange way. Her eyes almost rolled to the sky, "Look at how many taels of osmanthus hair oil there are! Just give it to the second girl and her hairpin for daily use. I'm afraid the oil won't be needed." Everyone who comes to cook is so tired!"
Shen Nanbao sneered at her, "You are used to saying weird things."
Fengyue just muttered the truth, and when she saw Shen Nanbao picking up the paperweight and going to rub it on the jade edition, she quickly tied her sleeves and stepped forward, "Sister, I'll help you."
But Shen Nanbao shook his head, "Go find Yourou and ask her to keep an eye on the servants outside the yard, lest they damage the small heads, willow branches, and cow roots of the swing. . ”
Feng Yue clicked her tongue and winked playfully at Shen Nanbao, "Sister, I also doubt Yourou in my heart? So I want to send her out without entering the house, right?"
Shen Nanbao only laughed at her cleverness and did not refute. Seeing Feng Yue's previous frustrations disappeared, her back straightened up and she responded quickly: "Young man, go right now."
Soon Feng Yueyi's commanding voice sounded outside.
Shen Nanbao walked to the window. The setting sun, which was half hanging on the lush green trees, gave off a red glow. It jumped on the fish-scale tiles, grass and courtyard of Zhibi, reflecting a red makeup. The shovels in the hands of the servants were also covered with red light. It was plated with a circle of gold, and hit the soil one by one, turning over with the momentum of digging three feet into the ground.
Looking at the progress, I'm afraid the Qingming Festival will never be completed.
Shen Nanbao thought for a long time, turned back to the case with satisfaction, took up the pen and paper again, and transcribed another page of Buddhist scriptures.
Just a few days after the swing was finished, Shen Wenzhuo finally packed up his belongings and headed back to Lushan Academy.
Everyone in the house packed up and rushed to Yue to see him off.
Shen Nanbao still stood at the end, hidden by the crowd, like a shadow under the sky.
Shen Wenzhuo craned his neck to look at Shen Nanbao, but he couldn't get past the crowd of heads, especially the Peng family in front of him, with her long hair in a bun and a head full of gold and green hairpin rings. As the sun shone, everyone's eyes were scorched with pain. .
Shen Wenzhuo couldn't help blinking, and couldn't help but leaned down and bowed, "Grandma, father, and eldest wife, I have brought them all. Don't worry about me. I will be back in a few days after this trip."
After all, it was his second sister's haircut gift, and he didn't want to miss it.
Shen Shi frowned in disapproval, "Study is the most important thing, everything else is secondary. Go home less and worry about things, and focus more on your homework. I know you are a child with a good personality, but you have to Let me remind you, if you are naughty with Uncle Xie, only discuss your homework with him and don't imitate his exquisite naughty things, do you understand?"
Shen Nanyi didn't want him to toss and turn like this, with tears streaming down his face, and he choked, "Just take care of yourself, I'm just old enough, and I'm not getting married, so it's not worth it for you to come back after wasting your studies."
After saying this, for some reason, Shen Shi and everyone who knew it well fell silent.
Shen Wenzhuo didn't notice any of this and just responded repeatedly. After talking to a group of people, he finally walked over to Shen Nanbao.
Shen Nanbao didn't have anything else, he just turned around and let Feng Yue hold a jar of gold with a black glazed lotus leaf cover and hand it over, "I saw that the sun was getting bigger and bigger, and I was afraid that my third brother would catch the heat in Lushan Academy, so I put it in a jar." Sour plum, I thought I could give this to my third brother, and just drink a bowl of it with boiled water in the well, and it would be refreshing the next day."
The corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, with a tendency to converge, but it did not prevent the shallow dimples on her cheeks from catching the light and smoothly catching Shen Wenzhuo's eyes.
Shen Wenzhuo felt that his heart that had been floating suddenly calmed down. He quickly took it and said with a smile: "Fourth sister has worked hard..."
Just as he was about to say more, Mrs. Yin coughed loudly and interrupted him.
"Brother Zhuo, please hurry up and leave. The mountains are high and the road is far away. If you leave late, you may not be able to reach the inn before sunset."
Shen Wenzhuo had no choice but to give up, stepped on the small stool and got into the carriage, and swayed away from everyone's sight.
The group of people scattered like birds, each choosing their own way back to the courtyard.
Shen Nanbao originally wanted to go to the back room to boil medicine for Mrs. Yin as usual, but unexpectedly, just as he stepped on the threshold, Mrs. Yin called Sister Bao from behind.
"I heard that there was a thief in your yard a few days ago?"
Shen Nanyi waved her fan and smiled softly, "It was a thief, but I see that the things that the fourth sister just gave to the third brother are so shabby. I guess even if there is something missing in the yard, it is not worth a few dollars." . ”
She spoke enthusiastically, and immediately fell silent when Old Mrs. Yin glanced at her, and squirmed, "Grandma, I remembered that I had to accompany my mother to prepare the roster for the second sister and the hairpin, so I excused myself first."
Old Mrs. Yin covered her mouth and coughed several times, then Fang said seriously, "She is a bastard, and she has not changed her bad nature even after being told several times. She will have to ask for trouble when she goes to her husband's house in the future."
Old Mrs. Yin rolled her throat and frowned impatiently, "Forget about her, let's talk about you. The people in your yard have unclean hands and feet. What are you going to do? Just let them go?"
Shen Nanbao pursed his lips, and the curve turned a little lonely, "Grandma, I know you care about me, but...everyone in my room is folding paper kites. On weekdays, only Yourou is left to enter the room, and the one who lost the folded hairpin is On the same day, the officials and Wen Chan sent by the eldest lady were both killed in the court, and I really can’t find out who it is."
Old Mrs. Yin fell silent and nodded after a long while, "That's alright, you just have to have a sense of proportion in your own mind. I'm asking you, I just want you not to let those minions step on you, the master. On the head."
Shen Nanbao smiled, yes, and then watched Old Mrs. Yin walk away, and could still faintly hear her coughing.
Feng Yue stretched out her chin and sighed, "Why is the old lady's illness not getting better and getting worse?"
"As you get older, you'll have to deal with anything you bump into for a hundred days, not to mention this kind of injury to your wife."
Shen Nanbao didn't think it was strange and led Fengyue to the back room.
Shuhua was still taking a nap with his eyelids drooped as usual. When he heard the noise, he opened his eyes in panic and looked around. When he saw Shen Nan, Baofang breathed a sigh of relief, "Fourth girl."
