Everything tonight, since she came out and met Xiao Yichen, everything developed in a direction she could not predict. Even the words that Fengyue blurted out were enough to make her stunned.
Shen Nanbao staggered, barely holding on to Langan, "What are you talking about! What did he mean..."
She elongated her face and turned her head to look at Feng Yue, only to see Feng Yue looking at her with her eyes blinking as if asking, 'What does that mean?' '.
Shen Nanbao pursed his lips and said nothing.
In fact, she also wanted to know what Xiao Yichen planned for her.
People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and always do things for a purpose.
What he did seemed not to be very profitable for him.
After all, he could make Shen Shi crumble with just one hand and make the Shen mansion never see the light of day.
While thinking deeply, she walked through the verandah and stepped into the west hall.
At this time, there was already a lot of leftovers on the table, and everyone moved to the other side of the courtyard to play the game of pot throwing.
Feng Yue watched the excitement of throwing arrows into the pots and bottles, and pulled Shen Nanbao's collar with some interest, "Sister, let's go and take a look?"
"Sister Bao, why have you been gone for so long?"
Shen Nanbao turned around and saw the stern-browed old Mrs. Yin, and knelt down, "I'm going back to my grandmother. It's a little dark on the road, so I walked a little slower."
Old Mrs. Yin knew that she was flirting with her, but everyone was too embarrassed to question her. She twisted her lips and was about to ask her to serve her back to the house, but she heard a burst of applause and joy from the place where the pot was thrown.
It turned out that Xiao Yichen, who had returned not long ago, shot an arrow.
Shen Wenzhuo held the wine prince in his hand and said to him, "The palace commander is very skilled, but Yuan Ting is willing to live in vain."
Shen Nanyi, who jumped back from nowhere, fanned lightly and looked at Shen Nanbao with the same arrogance as before, "Fourth sister, look at the palace commander's investment."
She always spoke in a sinister and eccentric manner, and just now Xiao Yichen touched her face and flattered him, which made her feel sad.
Shen Nanbao didn't stand up to her and smiled. Before he spoke, Xiao Yichen didn't know what was said across the courtyard. Xiao Yichen weighed the wooden arrows in his hands, smiled and said nonsense, "Children's things are insignificant. It would be more fun to shoot with arrows."
Shen Nanyi suddenly became interested and looked at Old Mrs. Yin, "Grandma, my fourth sister and I went across the courtyard to watch them throw pots!"
Old Mrs. Yin looked at Shen Nanbao silently, nodded and said, "Go and see if you want. Just don't cause any trouble."
Shen Nanyi was startled and turned around with some embarrassment.
Shen Nanbao knew that Old Mrs. Yin was actually talking to him, so he followed Shen Nanyi into the courtyard with a sigh.
The servant happened to bring the arrow up and brought it to Xiao Yichen.
Shen Nanyi shook her fan violently, causing the butterfly hairpin on her bun to fly randomly, but her tone was as strange as ever, "This palace commander is the palace commander, he is different from us, he wants the wind to win and the rain to win." Yu, you can change the Confucian etiquette without authorization. Fourth sister, why don’t you think the second sister is unwilling to have this marriage? If she nods, I will be frightened when I see her in the future, right? "
That’s all.
Shen Nanyi, who looked at people through his nostrils, would always compare himself to beauty when he saw them, not to mention the palace commander's concubine.
Shen Nanbao curled his lips, "Is the eldest sister envious of the second sister? Anyway, the matter has not yet been resolved. If the eldest sister is willing, will she do this for the second sister? This will not only satisfy the wishes of my grandmother and father, but also I helped my second sister and gained a good reputation, so I saved the face I lost today, didn’t I?”
The hand holding the fan paused, and Shen Nanyi looked with sharp eyebrows. Without the breeze, her face looked very ferocious in the distant candlelight, "You are so proud of killing talent, do you think you can have the last laugh? Just wait. Come on, there will be room for you to cry in the future! Then you will..."
Before she could finish speaking, she heard a roar piercing the sky, and Shen Nanyi screamed heartbreakingly.
Shen Nanbao only saw that the butterfly hairpin that was showing off on Shen Nanyi's head just now was broken into two pieces and fell to the ground. As for the arrow that claimed the mountain as the king, it was inserted into Shen Nanyi's hair bun, and the tip of the feather was still rustling. Trembling, as if competing with the bun hair scattered on the face.
Everyone was shocked and stunned.
Fengyue reacted from her previous stunned reaction and couldn't help but let out a puff.
Like a stone dropped into still water, causing ripples, the courtyard that had been quiet just now burst into laughter one after another.
Ana Shen trembled and fell limply on Ming Zheng.
After hearing the commotion, Mrs. Peng put down her hands and hurried over. Seeing this scene, her heart was lifted. She was afraid that Shen Nanyi would cry in public, so she quickly squeezed Shen Nanbao away and stroked her chest to help her breathe, " Remember what I just told you, you are the legitimate daughter of the Shen family..."
Xiao Yichen's rather regretful voice came to his ears, "Mrs. Peng is very sorry. I haven't held the arrow for a long time, but it was inaccurate for a while."
After saying this, he had a smile on his face, without any trace of guilt.
When Mrs. Peng saw this, she was so angry that she vomited blood in her heart. She secretly spat at such a traitor, who was so disrespectful to Shen's family. The old lady and the others still dreamed of stuffing the second girl in, how crazy they could be! Maybe I would take this opportunity to humiliate them and report them to the police again!
Come to think of it, can Mr. Peng still hold him accountable? So he just made some excuses and sang, "It doesn't matter, it turns out that the eldest girl stood too close and became the target of the palace commander."
Behind her, Ana Shen felt aggrieved and frightened. The humiliation just now came to her heart again, and her eyes were red.
Mrs. Peng quickly helped her retreat.
The fright ended in front of everyone's eyes. The courtyard that was noisy just now seemed a little quiet now, and everyone looked a little confused.
Fengyue said with a smile on her face, "Don't say anything else, I just ordered the commander to teach the eldest girl these two times. I really expressed my little heart. It shows that people can't be complacent or arrogant, otherwise they won't be taught a lesson!"
It sounded like Xiao Yichen was deliberately teaching her a lesson.
However, looking at Shen Nanyi's pale face just now, she was so frightened that she probably didn't even want to make a fuss about the embroidery.
Shen Nanbao thought correctly. Shen Nanyi developed a high fever that night and called Dr. Wan to come to see her. It was not until dawn the next morning that Jingyi Xuan, which was like boiling water, fell silent.
Because of this, Shen Nanbao had a few days of free time. Apart from spending time in the morning and dusk every day, he would embroider patterns and fight tea in the house, and his energy level became clear day by day.
On the contrary, Mrs. Yin always looked gloomy, and even had blisters on her mouth.
Fengyue was surprised when she saw this, "What is this old lady worried about?"
Shen Nanbao crushed the tea cake and glanced out the window.
The sky is blue and cloudless, and a few chaffinches are chirping on the wall. The entire yard seems to have fallen into a cauldron cooked by the scorching sun. Everywhere is filled with thick hot slurry. As soon as people stand inside, they will be blown away. It was so hot and sticky that I was sweating profusely.
Shen Nanbao was afraid of cold and heat. In winter, Chen Fangyan used charcoal fire to warm him, and in summer, he used ice to keep him cool.
Now that I have missed my marriage to him, I am afraid that this hot summer will be very annoying.
Shen Nanbao's eyes couldn't help but become filled with tears. Everyone said that summer starts quickly after the Dragon Boat Festival, but now it's already so hot before the Dragon Boat Festival...
Shen Nanbao was startled, and then he remembered that in his previous life, it was extremely hot this year, and the fields in many prefectures and counties were dried up by the sun. Many people were imprisoned because of this, and the officials granted amnesty, exempted and exempted all people from the cold. They had just survived the summer, but a severe drought inevitably ushered in. The grain harvest was not harvested, and the market price of a bag of rice was as high as sky-high.
Fengyue saw that she was silent for a long time, and she couldn't help but said: "Sister, is the matter with the old lady difficult?"
Shen Nanbao met Feng Yue's nagging eyes, remembered her question just now, and smiled, "It's not something difficult. Grandma is worried about the second sister's marriage announcement."
Fengyue frowned, "I still want to put the second sister into Commander Xiao's side. This is too much for the old lady... She just doesn't care about the second girl's thoughts. Then we have to think about whether Commander Xiao is willing." .”
Shen Nanbao laughed, "Why do you think Commander Xiao is unwilling?"
Fengyue hesitated, "Commander Xiao gave me a jade pendant. I see that I carry it in my arms every day..."
"You're talking nonsense again!"
Shen Nanbao didn't know whether it was because of the heat or something, but his cheeks were burning badly, "That thing said it left a clue for me, and you said it, and you weren't afraid of being heard, and it would reach the old lady's ears and tell her to give it to her." I’m so good at eating!”
As Liang Xiang was talking, a man suddenly jumped into the door, interrupting their conversation, "Sister, the old lady wants you to go to the flower hall."
It's strange, I usually don't like to see her in the morning and dusk, but today it's unprecedented.
Shen Nanbao looked at Fang Guan, who was standing in a small square of light and shadow, and asked, "Do you know why?"
Fang Guan raised his eyes and replied with unclear meaning: "You can't do anything about those things."
Don't worry about those things.
It was just now that they were talking about Shen Nanwan's marriage proposal.
When Shen Nanbao suddenly realized, Fang Guan looked at her with calm eyes, "Fortunately Yourou was sent away, otherwise it would have been another farce."
Yourou?
She leaked so much information, which one made them happy?
I'm afraid they won't want to listen to what Yourou says now.
However, what Fang Guan said did not make sense. During this period, he was indeed less vigilant than before.
Shen Nanbao nodded and said he understood, then asked Feng Yue to change into a snow satin skirt for him, and went to the flower hall by himself.
There is a flower-bed window that separates the flower hall from the upper room, and bamboo strips are hung down. From the outside, one cannot see what is going on inside the house, but one can hear all the movements.
When Shen Nanbao left, Shen Nanwan was already wearing a hidden flower skirt. She was sipping tea with her lotus-colored half-arms draped over her hands. She was licking her temples while sipping. When she saw Shen Nanbao coming, she even smiled, but she didn't. When he spoke, he raised his hand to gesture to the fan, signaling her to be silent.
The meaning is very clear, he asked her to come and listen to the corner.
But what to ask her to do?
Should she be asked to keep an eye on Shen Nanwan and wait for her son to run to the upper room?
But Shen Nanwan's expression didn't seem like he was unhappy.
What's more, something happened on dad's birthday. Grandma probably doesn't want to be hot and cold anymore. It's time to change her family.
Shen Nanbao was thinking deeply. As soon as he sat down next to him, he heard the voice of the Duke's wife on the other end, "Although the second girl and the hairpin have made such a fuss that they are not good-looking, she has always been famous outside." Not bad, that little girl also said that as long as the old lady nods and agrees to the fourth girl, the second girl will actually be easy to talk to."
