Shen Nanbao used gold thread to hook the tip of the peacock's feathers. Yixiang returned in despair, came to Shen Nanbao and repeated the old lady's words.
Shen Nanbao walked forward without looking up, so the deeply pursed corners of her mouth could not be seen. She could only hear her lightly asking, "Did grandma say anything else?"
In another half a year, she would turn fourteen. She was a palm-sized person, sitting up only a little taller than the pink-green glazed plum vase, but for some reason, Yi Xiang felt as if he was facing Mount Tai, and he was so nervous inside. .
"not at all."
Her voice was trembling, with a hint of loneliness.
Shen Nanbao had to raise his head to look at her, "Just tell me, you did something wrong today, but I have no intention of blaming you any more."
Only after she finished speaking did she realize that her hands were empty and she was kneeling on the ground with her head hanging down, shivering.
"Where's the stuff?"
Yixiang suddenly kowtowed after hearing this, "Sister, it's the younger one's fault. The younger one didn't expect to meet the eldest girl halfway when he came back and asked her to take away the round box and the envelope! Sister, , just punish the smaller ones! Small crimes deserve death!"
Fengyue's eyes widened, her face turned red and her neck was thick with anger, "It's so shameless for a big girl to do this. That's something Xie Xiaobo gave to my sister. She can just take it as she says?"
These words were like cold water in the pocket, which made Yixiang tremble even more fiercely, and his tongue was twisted, "It's my fault... but she is a big girl. If I don't give it to her, she will Just ask Ming Zheng to beat the little one, but there is nothing you can do about the little one..."
Fengyue felt uncomfortable seeing her like this.
Although these servants had other thoughts in their hearts and their elbows were turned outwards, after all, the old lady's contract was in the hands of the old lady, and it was difficult for them to move voluntarily.
Suddenly, Shen Nanbao over there rolled his eyes over Yi Xiang's body over and over again. He didn't know what he was doing. Anyway, she said something in the end.
"Originally, it's not good to put this thing away. Just ask my eldest sister to take it and take it. She has a wound on her face and she happens to need that thing. Don't keep it in mind and just do your part with peace of mind. .”
In this way, Yi Xiang was sent away.
It rained all night last night, and it was crackling, and it was like a whip, and it was bound to get into everyone's heart. Let's come together today, so that the sun is shining so brightly, and the rain is falling, which makes people feel refreshed. Feeling refreshed.
Fengyue opened the fan to let in some daylight, but she stood under the warm sunshine, and said in a confused tone, "It's very difficult for the servants of the Shen family to do this. They have to be scolded everywhere, and it's still the Zhao family." Well, if the master doesn't act arrogant, the servants can live comfortably, and even if they use force, they will be more at ease."
Feng Yue, who had always been talkative and heartless, suddenly became melancholy, causing Shen Nanbao to almost miss the needle. She looked at Feng Yue against the sunlight that leaked in, her eyes as clear as a clear spring.
"You'd better save your worries and pity them who have more eyes than a sieve. Just look after me more often. The day of Prajna Zhaoyi's promotion is coming soon. I just started. I don't know whether I can finish the embroidery or not." I cannot embroider it to the satisfaction of Prajna Zhaoyi."
Fengyue didn't understand the meaning of her words. She just felt that she had slacked off her master's mood. She quickly regained her composure and asked energetically: "What do you want me to do? Split threads? Thread needles? But, little sister, what do you want me to do?" If you want to talk too much, sister, how can there be anything wrong with your embroidery? As long as you finish the embroidery, Prajna Zhaoyi will not be able to put it down!"
Even after saying that, Shen Nanbao still didn't dare to slack off. After two days of embroidery in such a calm manner, the Rong family, who was on pins and needles, finally received a message from Zhizhou Tongpan's family, saying that they would come to propose marriage tomorrow.
Mrs. Rong was overjoyed and quickly discussed with Mrs. Yin how to welcome and send off tomorrow.
Because Shen Nanyi had injuries on her face, she could only watch with her eyes down. Shen Nanwan couldn't see Mr. Liang alone, so he asked Shen Nanbao to accompany him. He didn't need to say anything, just sat aside like a glass bottle. Just be a listener.
So early the next morning, Mr. Liang rode a horse, carried a goose, two large boxes and a bottle of wine, and came from the main entrance of Shen Mansion in a mighty manner.
In the thick white mist in the morning of the summer solstice, Shen Nanyi covered her face with her fan, revealing only a pair of hateful eyes and said: "Second sister is so lucky. Whatever happens to her, she always turns the corner. No wonder she has been acting more and more recklessly recently." Nose on face!”
As Yi Bi'er said, he looked at Shen Nanbao who had a demure look on his face, and sneered, "But I'm okay, she is my legitimate daughter after all, unlike my fourth sister, who is still rushing to get something on hand." Even though I was serving as a Huizhai for Prajna Zhaoyi, I was actually dragged into being a foil."
The tone was mixed with pity and sarcasm, but it did not shake Shen Nanbao's emotions at all.
She still looked at Shen Nanyi with her watery eyes that were too light to taste. Her gaze paused for a moment on the fan embroidered with peacocks. Then she smiled and said, "There's nothing you can do about it. The eldest sister's face is full of tears." It’s hard to meet outsiders because of the injury. Otherwise, if people see it, they will talk about what happened on the Dragon Boat Festival, which will make everyone unable to stand. But I see that the eldest sister’s injury is healing very quickly. I think it’s thanks to my uncle’s help. The ointment is very powerful."
It was originally a very damaging sentence, but Shen Nanyi chuckled to herself, "No, Uncle Xie is really a very valuable person. The ointment he casually hands out is a rare thing that can be worth a hundred taels. Call me The injury has healed so quickly, and the new flesh that has grown out is now whiter and more tender than the previous one. Speaking of which, I have to ask, will the fourth sister blame me for taking this thing?"
These words made Feng Yue's teeth itch with anger, playing right into Shen Nanyi's hands.
Shen Nanbao nodded, "I can't thank you enough for my eldest sister. How can I blame my eldest sister?"
She said with a sigh, her eyes were deeply bent, and she fanned slowly, "After all, my grandma told me earlier that Uncle Xie is not suitable for me. I have always remembered it since then, and I dare not go overboard in the slightest. What's more, I was worried at first about how to get rid of these "privately given" things... You said it would be a pity to throw it away, but it seemed unreasonable not to throw it away. Fortunately, I have a big sister to carry it for me. If you keep it, you can make the best use of it, and you don’t have to worry about Uncle Xie’s wishes.”
So does this mean that she, Shen Nanyi, picked up things that Shen Nanbao didn't want?
Shen Nanyi's face flushed, and her throat was so tight and painful that she was so angry that before she had time to speak, Shen Nanbao turned around and said, "The gift has been carried through the door, and the official media are also talking inside. It is expected that the second sister will meet Mr. Liang in a few minutes. I have to do what the eldest sister said, poke people's eyes and serve as a foil, so I can't talk to the eldest sister. The eldest sister sent it off on her own. Time, don't hang around in front of people, you might annoy grandma again and get whipped."
After saying that, he walked away.
Shen Nanyi was so angry that she stamped her feet and beat her chest on the spot.
Feng Yue couldn't help but sneer when she saw this, "When has a big girl ever won a quarrel with her elder sister? They don't even know how to restrain themselves, and they have to bump into each other to scold and get angry. They really deserve it!"
Shen Nanbao smiled and said, "How can she restrain herself? You see her taking other people's things without showing off shamelessly, and you know that this one is completely rotten. It's in vain that she was raised by her grandmother since she was a child, but she is like this There are no rules and regulations, and if this continues, not only will my grandmother’s reputation be ruined by her sooner or later, but even the reputation of the Shen family will have to be laughed at!"
When she said this, she lifted up her skirt and stepped across the threshold. Her clear eyes were obscured by the quiet room, and suddenly they became lingering and deep, like a judge with a mirror hanging high up in the sky. Mrs. Yin couldn't even imagine that she had such eyes. He is prudent and thoughtful.
Liang Yuezhao sat down in the side hall. Opposite him was Shen Nanwan, who couldn't even cover his face with a fan.
When Shen Nanbao came over, Shen Nanwan felt resentful towards her, but in the end he was grateful that she came over to resolve the awkward situation between the two of them.
"I'm still wondering if the fourth sister and the eldest sister got so excited that they forgot about me, the second sister!"
Shen Nanbao laughed and said, "What the hell, the eldest sister just told me that if she wasn't ill, she would also like to accompany the second sister to come and talk."
This is just a polite word. Who doesn't know Shen Nanyi's temper, being arrogant all day long, and only allows others to serve as a foil for her, so she is not willing to be a foil for others.
Shen Nanwan smiled at the scene and said he was sorry.
Liang Yue was also someone who understood the twists and turns in the house, so he mentioned Shen Wenzhuo with a smile, "I didn't succeed in meeting your brother at the Dragon Boat Festival last time. I always thought it would happen this time, but I didn't expect it to happen."
Shen Nanwan shook his fan, and the pendant of the fan stirred up a faint smell, "When Mr. Liang talked about this, I was also melancholy. He has been preparing for Qiuwei recently and has become increasingly burdened. I watch him every day. The sun is rising, but now he is getting more and more black, and my wife and I are anxious. After all, we have never experienced this before, and we don’t know how to relieve him and tell him to relax."
As he said that, Shen Nanwan pursed his lips and smiled shyly, "Young Master Liang is a Confucian scholar who came out of the imperial examination. I think he should know what to do with this son?"
Liang Yue stopped drinking, with a serious look on his brows, "Second sister's words are flattering, but my brother is like this. I think it must be because of the heavy burden on his heart that he is so sleepless and forgetful of food. I still have to Tell me carefully, your brother needs to be treated with a normal heart, otherwise going too far will be too much, and it will be a drag on your body. If the second sister is really not sure, she can report it to her father and ask him to tell him, so my brother should be able to listen."
Shen Nanwan listened carefully, and after the appointment went smoothly, he told Shen Shi what Liang Yue said.
Shen Nanyi was just listening, and she didn't know if she was still angry after being retorted by Shen Nanbao just now, or if she was angry that Shen Nanwan, a usually inconspicuous person, got married before her. Anyway, it was just He snorted without salt or sauce.
"I see that the second sister doesn't hang around in front of her mother. She's not even married yet, and she already behaves like a matron. I don't know who she learned it from."
