Xiao Yichen had a long face, took back the hand he was about to support, and held it tightly behind his back.
That jade-like voice was as cold as a steel knife wiping the ice and snow. He said, "Fifth girl, you get up first."
But Shen Nanbao didn't. He said that when asking for help, you should have a begging attitude. What kind of decency would it be to ask for help with a pretentious attitude?
Xiao Yichen choked when she replied.
He did think that she could take a step towards him and not just reject his kindness.
But he didn't want to use the status of 'benefactor' or 'benefactor', which would tear the distance between the two of them like cutting off their robes.
But what can he say now? He can't say it plainly.
So he took a deep breath and turned back to the armchair, "Fifth girl, you can kneel down if you like. We will continue talking when you want to stand up."
These words contained a threat, and Shen Nanbao was naturally not good at it, so he stood up, but he still knelt down and said: "Commander, please save my adoptive grandparents."
Seeing that she was interested, his expression became more relaxed, and Shan Han's voice became clearer, "The fifth lady entrusted the two elders to me before, and since I agreed, I will do what I say and take care of the two elders. It's just that this When the incident happened, my hands and feet were dragged down by other people's pursuits, which made them wander into that dirty place..."
He spoke slowly, his eyes flickering across the room. His eyes slipped over and back to Shen Nanbao's porcelain-white face. She had probably cried, and her long and charming eyes were reddish and sad. , an indescribable sense of vicissitudes of life.
Xiao Yichen suddenly felt like he had fallen into a frying pan, and he could not even sit still. He held on to the chair and scratched in confusion.
But now that I’ve done it, it’s a little funny to think about whether it’s right or not.
Anyway, if you shrink your head and stretch your head, you can't win the heart of a beautiful woman if you don't take a courageous gamble in life.
He opened his mouth in a lawsuit manner,
"But don't worry, Fifth Miss. I've asked someone to go there as soon as I found out about this, and they should be released soon."
However, Shen Nanbao shook his head and said, "I came here because I want to ask the palace commander to do justice and investigate the matter carefully. Although my grandfather is old, he has always been upright and upright. He cannot bear these injustices, so he is let go categorically." When he comes out, he will fix the pain in his heart."
So, just leave the two elders in prison?
Xiao Yichen didn't expect her to say such a thing, and was immediately a little stunned.
Shen Nanbao seemed to sense his shock and added: "Of course, I also want to trouble the commander-in-chief to ask me to go in and see my grandparents."
Xiao Yichen sat on that gloomy ground, and his frowning face was rendered obscure, "Don't the fifth girls want the second elder to come out? They can't stay in such a cold and humid place, let alone ...You can go to court and clear your grievances outside, right?"
Shen Nanbao said it very grandly, "Although this is the case, rumors will inevitably spread. It will be said that my grandparents relied on them, so they won the lawsuit. How should I deal with this?"
How to behave?
Just do whatever you want to do. Is he afraid of others talking about him when he is a dignified commander?
But she couldn't say this, otherwise she would sneer at him, throw all his passion into the desert, roll it into mud, and then return to dust, without giving him a single look.
Xiao Yichen was silent, and embellished the words in his stomach. When he came out, he didn't have any sense of bragging, "Fifth girl looks down on my methods, and thinks that even the former secretary can do such a trivial matter." Did you make a mistake, or did you feel unhappy, and did you come here to mock me on purpose?"
The fire in the cauldron seemed to be touched by oil, and suddenly it became blazing with heat. It fell in Shen Nanbao's eyes, and soon became dark and silent, "Your Majesty, you are absolutely right, I owe you Considered."
She seemed moved, and her demeanor was submissive.
Xiao Yichen was very satisfied. After all, the second elder had been received at the house a long time ago. If she had to go to the Yamen to see it now, she would probably miss it. By then, she would be able to guess that his handiwork was involved.
In this way, he couldn't even speak clearly with a few mouths.
Her delicate outline was reflected in his deep eyes. Xiao Yichen let out a sigh of relief and stood up to help her, "After talking for a while, the fifth girl must be thirsty. Let's take a sip of tea first and wait for the tea to be used up." , your grandparents also came out."
The weak arm supported by his hand resisted gently. Xiao Yichen squinted his eyes, and a surprised light quickly passed by.
He turned his head and called out, "Pour some tea for Miss Five."
After saying that, I felt it was inappropriate, so I changed my words and said, "It's better to change to a cold drink. The fifth girl is afraid of the heat. You will be exposed to the sun and fire all the way here. The fifth girl will definitely be very hot."
After saying these words, a jade-like smile came from the wall of the bead curtain, and a slender knuckle like silver snow stretched out to move the curtain made of agate. Amidst the rustling sound, the light-transmitting agate The reflected rays of light shone on the face of the visitor, making her features vivid.
"Fortunately, the fifth girl is afraid of heat like adults. Otherwise, I would have to appoint an errand boy and buy a cool drink."
Wei Xi giggled and stepped out from the wall of the bead curtain. The narrow-sleeved short coat held up Yun Ting's beautiful face. The fair complexion and plump cheeks combined into a plate of tender and delicious steamed pork with alternate fat and meat.
As soon as he saw her brows relaxed, her white teeth showed a lively expression, "Do you like sweetness or sourness, Miss Five? I'd better be prepared, I don't want to cheat on you."
It was an ordinary greeting, but maybe it was rarely experienced in the Shen Mansion. Being treated as a guest at this moment made Shen Nanbao feel a little embarrassed. She frowned uncomfortably, "I don't like being sour. She loves sweetness very much, and even eating some candied fruit will make her hungry."
Wei Xi nodded, still looking at the tiny pear dimples at the corner of his mouth, "In that case, if it's a small one, put less icing on it, and use more plum and orange meat, so it tastes more delicious."
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Xiao Yichen, her gentle smile adding a hint of beauty, "Sir, would you like to drink some too?"
The light of the sparks illuminated Xiao Yichen's delicate and upright eyebrows. He nodded solemnly in the dazzling glory. Just such a gentle move made his smile grow even brighter, and he said straightly: "Then just do as before. Come on, dessert.”
He raised his eyes slightly and smiled at Xiao Yichen: "As the adults said, life is so bitter, so don't be so miserable when eating and drinking on weekdays, and eat more sweet things."
The familiar and intimate tone softened Xiao Yichen's face for an instant, and a warmth slowly appeared in the corner of his mouth, "It's been 18 years, you still remember this, go get ready, don't make jokes all day long."
He stepped back with a warm voice, and the long figure with a slim waist turned around the grille, like a fish leaping out of the water, and disappeared in Shen Nanbao's eyes.
When he came up again, he held two plates of jade cups with the same paste topped with different toppings. The sticky and greasy one was from Xiao Yichen, and the colorful one was from Shen Nanbao as if it had been put into a big dye vat.
The cold drinks that obeyed Shen Nanbao's will were filled with greasy sour kernels and piled on top, probably too many. Instead of feeling cool in the mouth, they were sour and made teeth chatter.
Shen Nanbao took one bite and lost interest in eating. He turned his hand and put it aside. He raised his eyes and looked at Wei Xi who was handing the cup to Xiao Yichen's hand.
The slender fingers held the jade lamp, and a little light shone in from the window, shining like the tips of buds.
Shen Nanbao rolled his eyes and saw Xiao Yichen stretched out his hand and touched his fingertips. The tips of two green onion-like buds were given life and blossomed into a colorful scene in an instant.
Shen Nanbao was shocked for a moment, as if he had fallen into a deep net, his mind was empty, and his heart was dazed. When he came to his senses, Xiao Yichen had already taken the bowl, drank it calmly, and asked with a glance: "Five Girl, why don’t you eat? Is it because you don’t like it?”
The cold drink she had just swallowed started to churn in her stomach, so much sourness filled her throat. She closed her eyes and said, "It's a little sour."
When Wei Xi heard this, he turned his head in surprise, "Is it sour?"
For a moment, she rolled her eyes and apologized sheepishly, "Fifth girl, I'm very sorry. I'm probably used to making sweeter ones, but this one is a little bit sour... I'm just a little girl." Go and change one for Miss Five."
Shen Nanbao shook his head and said, "No need."
She didn't come here to relax after tea, so why should she be so particular.
She raised her head and said, "I'll just wait for my adoptive grandparents to come over."
Her tone suddenly became hard again, and Xiao Yichen lost his appetite for quotations. He put down the lamp and just looked at her and said, "Please come out or get some sunshine. The fifth girl may not be waiting for them to come without eating or drinking?"
Shen Nanbao looked away, and the sour water in his throat could not be suppressed, and he said, "My grandparents have gone to the valley, and I still eat and drink. Does the commander-in-chief want people to say that I have no heart and am still a pig?" Na."
Xiao Yichen was sour to his heart by what she said. He vomited and said, "What did I mean? I didn't just see the fifth girl coming here on such a hot day and thought you were tired, so I asked you if you wanted to eat or not." Don’t you want to drink?”
Shen Nanbao snorted, "Thank you very much, Commander-in-Chief, for your kindness, but I don't have much appetite right now. Commander-in-Chief, you'd better eat well by yourself, don't waste other people's efforts."
What she said was so considerate.
The tone of his voice was so bitter that he was so angry that he was so angry.
Sitting in such a sour atmosphere, Xiao Yichen seemed to be confused. Anyway, he was obviously stunned and looked at her indifferently. Soon, a perfect smile appeared on his porcelain face.
Underneath that smile, his heart was beating like a drum, rumbling so hard that his ears were buzzing.
He seemed to have entered a strange world, where the huge joy was like the sea and huge waves, which were about to drown him.
He remembered what Wei Xi had said to him when he came before him, "Master, Fang Guan is an exquisite person. She said that the fifth girl likes you, so she must like you. If you don't believe it, you might as well talk to Xiao Yan tomorrow." As soon as they come out, you don't have to do anything, just be intimate, and see if the fifth girl will change. If she changes, wouldn't it be obvious what she is thinking? '
so.
So is she jealous now?
