Shen Nanbao felt a slight tug on her hand, and the Ge Yi slipped from her palm. When she looked up, her grandparents had already walked in front of her, and they all knelt down towards Xiao Yichen.
"small……"
Xiao Yichen was afraid that they would tell the truth, so he hurriedly helped them stand up, "These are all my own efforts, so they are not worth mentioning. What's more, your grandson and I are the same generation, so how can we stand up to your greatness. "
The 'common people' here seem very meaningful.
Xiao Yichen has been around for many years and has great fame. For such a high-ranking person, how can others compare Shen Nanbao and Shen Nanbao? When mentioning this at the same time, it is inevitable to mix the two together for consideration.
One is gorgeous and graceful, the other is handsome and unique, and neither of them is married or worthy.
After thinking about it like this, it is inevitable to come up with some perfect combinations.
Then with such a pull, everything like getting engaged would become a matter of course.
Shen Nanbao tapped out his little thoughts. Although he felt that he was disdainful, such thoughts were just like the rumbling sound of a carriage rolling across the road. Instead, they gave him a sour feeling. It couldn't stop, it was going to rush into my eyes.
This person, who usually drags her around as much as he can, and always shows his nose to others, did not show that attitude towards her, instead he was cautious. Of course, when he was cautious, he did not forget to use some tricks to coax her to say something. Those shy words, so that when she rejects him again in the future, he can retort triumphantly - Well, you have said that you like me, but you still don't accept my kindness? Did you stumble a lot when you were a kid?
This person is really...
Others said he was bad, bad to the core, even his liver, gallbladder, and lungs were black, but he was so kind to her, and he tried every means to be good to her.
Xiao Yichen, who was originally attracted by Shen Nanbao's affection, rolled his eyes and saw her tuck her eyes, eyes and nose, so she didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore. They get up.
Mr. Zhao was unwilling to do so, but he insisted on kneeling down.
Both of them were stubborn people, and they refused to listen to each other's teachings. They had to show their kindness to each other. In the end, Shen Nanbao apologized and said, "Grandpa, just follow the command of the palace."
Only then did Mr. Zhao give up, but he still bowed deeply to Xiao Yichen, "Earlier, I wanted to bring my wife over to thank the commander, but I was always hindered. Now I am facing this..."
Old Mrs. Zhao was silent for a moment. His fingers clenched into fists couldn't help but tremble and tremble until his voice became hoarse. "I can't repay you, little one."
Xiao Yichen said in his heart that he had nothing to repay, so he just repaid the fifth girl to me.
Such ridiculous words were enough to satisfy my heart. As soon as they came to my lips, I tactfully said in a very serious tone, "My father-in-law, my words are serious. You have been wronged in this matter, not to mention the Yuanwai and Fu Yin who were involved. I secretly communicated with Qu Gian. As the commander in front of the palace, I was dragged by the officials to take charge of the investigation. It is my duty to eliminate the officials."
That's what I said.
In the first year of Daoguang, that is, when the officials ascended the throne, they already informed the world that in order to prevent fraud, favoritism and malpractice, or that the officials were shielding each other, they used divisions and divisions to restrain each other. At first, everyone followed the steps and strictly disciplined themselves, but later they introduced examples and broke the law. , Five problems occurred one after another, and the officials had to make up new regulations and edicts, "The official will ask questions, and the ministers in front of the palace will follow the agreement."
This is also the root cause of the rebellion between the government and the public, and the controversy between Xiao Yichen. After all, he is just a military general in the police force in Beijing. Where are the experts in charge of these convictions and sentencing? It sounds like it is for purge and rectification. In fact, isn't this kind of empowerment a compliment? How could he cover the sky with just one hand?
As for Xiao Yichen, a figure who crawled out from the dead was used to the messy human heart. He naturally understood the self-interest of the world and the seemingly favored flattery of officials. Don't take action.
Now that he is taking action, he is faced with the dictatorship of the Privy Council, and he has to go to the Supreme Court to hear it. Although it is a small thing, how can he know that it is not the last straw that breaks the camel's back?
But these are not in the way. For him, when the soldiers come, they will cover up the water and the earth. They must first solve the immediate matters before they can make those long-term plans. Furthermore, isn't the fifth girl's matter his business?
After hearing this, Mr. Zhao sighed repeatedly at Xiao Yichen's dignity, but he did not regard this matter as his duty. Instead, he bowed his waist deeper and said, "An upright person in command is the blessing of the official family and the blessing of the people's livelihood." Fortunately, I am not only grateful for this, but also took the time to help the commander the day before yesterday."
Shen Nanbao remained silent. After hearing this, he asked, "What kind of favor?"
Old Mrs. Zhao glanced at her, and there were still tears in her eyes. Fang Fang could see the tears in her eyes, but there was a sense of resentment in his expression at this moment.
"Have you forgotten what you said? At that time, you were eager to go back and didn't think about taking care of us. But then you remembered that you dragged Commander Xiao to help and asked him to help us. Are you really going back? After a trip to Shen's Mansion, I learned everyone's skills and became embarrassed."
Shen Nanbao choked.
She did beg Xiao Yichen to take care of them, but she was just looking out for their safety. When did she ask him to take action.
Turning his head and looking at Xiao Yichen, he stood there with a very steady expression, and even said calmly and without changing his expression: "My father-in-law, don't talk about the fifth girl. She is filial, and I can do it with a little effort. The beauty of adulthood is That’s all.”
Look at these words, how beautiful they are, how impressive they are. Who knows that Commander Xiao has a thorny tongue and can hurt people with his words?
Shen Nanbao cursed, feeling angry in his heart but not daring to express it. He could only say sadly to Old Mrs. Zhao: "Grandpa, how dare I do that? I just asked the palace commander for his blessing."
After saying that, he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yichen, a smile of success appeared on his porcelain face.
Only then did Shen Nanbao realize that he had fallen into his trap.
Dare my lover be waiting here, waiting for her to shake her head, waiting for her to deny, so that the Zhao family can naturally reflect on, since you didn't say that, why did that dignified commander be so condescending to do such a thing? Child matter?
Sure enough, after hearing these words, the Zhao family's expressions changed in just a blink of an eye. They looked at Xiao Yichen from the left and Shen Nanbao from the right, and finally fell silent.
Xiao Yichen is good at understanding people's hearts, and he also understands that some things can only be settled as soon as possible. As for the follow-up, he has to wait for his own fermentation. Anyway, the five girls all like him, so there is no need for him to rush into the matter of mutual love.
I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Then he smiled leisurely and said in a clear voice: "I have said that it is a trivial matter and not worth mentioning. Old Master and Old Madam, please don't be too accepting."
In fact, at this point, the sensible people had already withdrawn, allowing Shen Nanbao and the Zhao family to enjoy their family life, but he didn't want to, and stuck there like a knife, doing his best to fulfill his duties as a landlord. friendship.
Of course Shen Nanbao understood what he was thinking, and she naturally thought about using this as an excuse to reject him. However, when she thought of being so decisive, she suddenly couldn't bear it. She couldn't bear it after her grandfather just said that he took the time to help. After the talk, it reached its peak.
That's it.
This man, who was stable and experienced on the outside, showed a childlike playfulness in front of her, but he was childish, but he did not forget to care about her, and he was brave and sincere in order to get her.
Such sincerity was something she had never experienced from anyone else, including Chen Fangyan.
Just like the bright sun, it can transform people.
So what is she resisting?
Even if he changes his mind in the future, at least he is sincere and passionate at this moment, right?
As for the grievance just now, after all, she had suffered it from him before, so it was just a matter of balancing the two.
Shen Nanbao thought so, but Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao didn't think so. They looked at each other and nodded, and Mrs. Zhao raised Shen Nanbao's hand and asked.
"Monkey! Look at what you've done! Commander Xiao, Kuan Liang is not offended by this, and is considerate of you. How come you've become more sexual? Are you still running to the mansion like this? Forcing people to do things for you? What's your behavior like this? Do the elders of your Shen family know about you? How long have you been out? Did you tell them that you were out? When the time comes, they will ask questions and teach you a lesson about family rules. How did you get it?"
In the early years, Mrs. Zhao was so good at scolding her that her neighbors in the countryside would cut their mouths off when they saw her. Now it is easy for her to change her words and use them as compliments.
Even Xiao Yichen was stunned by what she said. After being shocked, and just about to speak, Old Mrs. Zhao turned around, knelt down and began to apologize.
"Commander Xiao, your kindness will be unforgettable to us. Unfortunately, I am a short-sighted person, and my elbows are bent inward. It is not easy to spend time here with my own girl to thank you. I have to take care of you." Will the other side of the Shen family use this matter to attack her, so they have to quickly take her back to the house to apologize to Mrs. Yin."
When it comes to this situation, who can't hear the implicit meaning of "fear" and "avoid like snakes and scorpions".
It's just because of the surface that it's difficult to pierce the window paper.
However, Xiao Yichen's good mood was inevitably ruined by this call, but he still had to maintain a good smile and tried his best to hold his lips together, "Lao An, I understand, the fifth girl is quite cool when she comes out. It’s been a long time, so I have to go back, otherwise I’ll attract gossip.”
After that, he called Kun Hong and asked him to send the person out. He said that he still had official business to attend to, so he sent him off not far away.
There was obvious perfunctoriness in the words. Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Zhao were such fine people, but they pretended not to hear it, and just said some high-sounding words, and then led Shen Nanbao out and walked out.
When he was about to cross the threshold, Shen Nanbao looked back.
Xiao Yichen stood with his hands behind his back in the area beyond the reach of the sky. A dark shadow stretched across his entire face, and sporadic firelight splashed around, illuminating the outline of the corners of his mouth.
The corner of his mouth was slightly pursed, showing a lonely smile.
It's like, after experiencing it several times, I have long been used to it.
