An old voice came from outside the partition.
Fengyue and Lukui looked at each other in shock.
Shen Nanbao raised his eyes and saw a person approaching from outside the colorful bead curtain.
It's Ji Yan, the steward.
After being heard from the corner, Feng Yue and Lv Kui were both a little embarrassed. They stayed there for a while, then hurriedly greeted them with a smile, "The hot soup is here. I'm going to prepare two towels for bathing and brushing teeth." "
Fengyue followed closely, "A new soap ball came to the management office yesterday. The little one went to get it."
The footsteps were so windy that in the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared.
Only Shen Nanbao and Manager Ji were left looking at each other.
Shen Nanbao wanted to take advantage of the situation and come up with a way to treat guests, dealing with Manager Ji.
Manager Ji didn't accept it. He remained in place and bowed his waist respectfully as if holding a candle. "Sister, you have misunderstood the master."
He wanted to break the casserole and fight to the end, but Shen Nanbao didn't want to accompany him, "If it's Mrs. Sheng's matter, don't think too much about it, Manager Ji. I don't have those intentions. My servants were just making nonsense."
Manager Ji seemed as if he hadn't heard anything and continued: "It's not because of this that Master is excluded from my sister's family tree, nor is it because of this cold treatment of my sister."
Shen Nanbao sat quietly by the window. When she heard these words, she was obviously startled and closed her eyes. But soon, she twitched the corner of her mouth miserably, "Manager Ji, you are right, no matter it is because of What, it’s a fact that he treated me coldly.”
Ji Yan's beard trembled suddenly, and he finally raised his face to look at Shen Nanbao, "Sister, do you know what the last words my master's mother said to my master before she died?"
Shen Nanbao remained silent, looking at him quietly with a pair of eyes.
Ji Yan said: "The scenery can be dazzling, but people can't. Once it enters your eyes and enters your heart, even for a moment, it will stay with you forever."
Shen Nanbao's throat was a little dry, "Those are just his mother's last words, and they are not three-foot sword hanging. Is it possible that he should abide by them for the rest of his life?"
This time it was Ji Yan's turn to look at her quietly.
Quietly, silently - acquiescence.
But Shen Nanbao felt it was so ridiculous that he even accidentally knocked over the lamp with his hand, and it fell on the bricks. With a crisp sound, thousands of rays of light burst out, and the sparkles were like water splashed on the floor.
"What are you talking about? You are an elder who has watched him grow up. Do you want to see him stay alone like this? You don't know what I think of him..."
Like killing a chicken and covering her neck, something grabbed her throat.
A little outline of the moon appeared in the window pane, and silver light splashed around, flowing in the room like solidified ice.
Shen Nanbao felt a little cold inside, so cold that his nose felt sore every time he breathed in and out.
She moved her mouth and wanted to speak, but it was too cold. Her face was frozen like a layer of ice, and she was too stiff to move.
When Ji Yan saw this, he stopped talking and just said: "I'll ask someone to prepare hot soup, and ask sister Zhimu to change clothes."
After saying that, he retreated on his own, causing a gust of wind to make the black lacquered bronze mirror sway and knock against the wall.
Shen Nanbao reached out and held it.
The bronze mirror reflected the glazed ridged ribbon, which was still rippling on the green wall, as well as the water-like fragments on the ground. After looking at it for a long time, Shen Nanbao felt like he was sitting on a boat, and felt dizzy. feel.
When he looked again, she was the only one in the bronze mirror.
The small eyebrows, the red mouth and the fine teeth, the plump face, and of course, the eyes that glowed with golden light after crushing the candlelight... just like one or two rays of sky light in the vermilion and gold scroll.
She looked at it deeply, and Feng Yue, who had left and returned, bumped into this scene and was stunned, "Sister."
Shen Nanbao turned around. There was a lamp next to the bronze mirror, and the fluorescent yellow light shone on her face, making her face look a little sickly pale.
Fengyue was stunned again, and then she heard Shen Nanbao ask: "Do you think I look like him?"
She didn't name anyone, but Fengyue knew who she was talking about.
The earnest words were floating on the tip of her tongue, but Feng Yue swallowed them and just followed her instructions to look at her carefully.
She is good looking.
But what makes her beautiful is not the flowers in the porcelain vase, nor the finely carved patterns on the porcelain vase.
Her beauty is informal and flowing. Even if she is sitting there quietly, she can make people think of thousands of beautiful gestures.
As for Xiao Yichen, he is also good-looking.
But his beauty is like a small red clay stove, which has its own warmth; it is also like a sword, which can make people feel its edge without taking it out of its sheath.
Fengyue said: "They all look good."
Shen Nanbao still said the same thing, "What does it look like? Does it look like it?"
Feng Yue frowned and was about to speak, but Shen Nanbao stopped listening and turned her head, staring straight at the person in the mirror with her dark eyes.
Gradually, the person in the mirror distorted into Xiao Yichen's frown and smile.
Shen Nanbao also frowned and smiled, but murmured: "So. Why didn't I see it earlier?"
It was obvious that he looked nothing like her.
Realizing this, she suddenly wanted to find him.
She really took action, lifted up the bronze mirror and walked out, but bumped into Lu Kui who was returning with a toothbrush in hand.
"Where are you going, sister?"
She didn't speak, but her eyes under the eaves lamp shone strangely.
Lu Kui saw this and clenched the hand she was holding to brush her teeth, "Sister, don't go."
Shen Nanbao was startled for a moment. The strong wind blew, and the eaves lanterns swayed, swirling in the corridor with a floating light, which made the sound of Lu Kui seem as far away as the wilderness.
"When Xiao Fang went to the back room, he heard them say that he went to Zheng Zhongshu's house and he hasn't come back yet."
Fengyue followed up panting, "Sister, it's already late today. The hot soup has been prepared. Let it cool down. It will take a while to cook it again. I don't know where it will be delayed." When the time comes, if you don’t smell like a nest, you will still be harmed by those fleas.”
These words shocked Shen Nanbao's memories.
The words Chen Fangyan just said flowed past his ears like flowing water.
Shen Nanbao was startled, turned his head, and walked into the house.
Feng Yue didn't see her expression, but saw that she didn't insist on going, so she breathed a sigh of relief, "I can't even raise my head to see you, so I won't see you tomorrow."
Then he and Lu Kui winked for a while.
Lu Kui understood the idea and quickly retreated, assigning someone to carry water into the cup.
As for Shen Nanbao, he stayed there, his eyes like the frost on the eaves, dull and expressionless.
Fengyue thought she was feeling sorry for Xiao Yichen when she went to another house again. While waiting for her to eat, she said: "What the hell, he likes to run around like this, so can we! The treasure you and Mr. Chen picked up Isn’t your son still at the veterinary hospital? Sister, have a good sleep and go see him tomorrow, or go to the Zhenbao Pavilion. Anyway, you can go wherever you want!"
The soup was a bit hot. As soon as I plunged into it, I immediately felt a stinging pain like needles. However, it only lasted for a while. An unexplained warmth hit my heart and made my face turn red.
Shen Nanbao then said: "Let me ask you."
She paused and said, "If two people like you, who will you choose?"
Fengyue said without thinking: "Of course you choose the one you like."
Then he smiled, picked up a handful of water, and poured it on Shen Nanbao's back.
The water caused Shen Nanbao to stiffen and straighten his waist.
When Feng Yue saw this, she realized what Shen Nanbao was asking, and hurriedly pursed her lips and said, "But it still depends. For example, the late wife at the entrance of Zucchini Alley made such a fuss that everyone else was She said that the young man she liked was not good enough, but she refused to listen and insisted on marrying him. As a result, after they got married, her true identity as an official was revealed. She stayed in Zhangtai every night and even brought him home. Skinny horse..."
Fengyue sighed, "So, you still have to look at people's character and listen to what others say."
As he spoke, he picked up the soap ball in one hand and drew circles on Shen Nanbao's shoulders.
The water mist came up chaotically, bringing with it the unique fragrance of acacia. Shen Nanbao sniffed it, but he felt hesitant in his heart, "It is said that bystanders know the details, but if others don't know everything, how can they see clearly?"
There was a bias in her words. Even Lu Kui, who was listening quietly on the side, also understood the meaning. He turned around and picked up a towel to wipe her arms, "Then take your time and take your time. It's not necessary to rush." At this time."
Fengyue said in surprise: "Then isn't this...half-hearted and teasing?"
Lu Kui frowned, blaming her for talking too much, but her tone was very sincere, "Teasing? What kind of teasing is this? I didn't say it outright that I like you, not to mention that people who don't do it for themselves will be punished by heaven and earth. If the young man is abandoned, he can start again." Pick a young lady, where is the young lady? Just like that night mother, once you choose, you can’t go back."
Fengyue pursed her lips, "It's true to say so, but if you do it like this, you might as well suffer a reputation. A woman's reputation is more important than anything else. When the time comes, living with someone poking your spine will be like being fried!"
Lu Kui said: "Yes. A person lives with a face, and a tree lives with a bark. But do you want to sacrifice your life for a face? Or you may regret it and divorce later, which is fine, but you are afraid of being Give up..."
Shen Nanbao heard them talking further and further away. He clapped his hands and stirred up waves on the water. "I won't mention it anymore. I just asked it, but it turned out that you guys are almost in time to talk."
The two of them looked at each other, both of them were silent. They only waited for Shen Nanbao to put on his common clothes, and when the sun came out, he put on his Yuebai collared middle coat and went to sleep on the bed.
When Lu Kui was twisting the lamp with the copper spoon, Shen Nanbao said: "I have no choice now. He has his revenge to avenge, and I also have my love to repay."
Lu Kui was startled, then smiled and said: "Take it one step at a time. There are so many things you can expect in life. If you think too much, you will be constrained and it will harm your body. So go to bed early and don't think too deeply." ”
After saying this, the lights went out and everything was dark. Shen Nanbao closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. The next day, it was Feng Yue who woke her up with the message sent by Chen Fangyan.
"Sister, Mr. Fang Fang and Chen sent a message saying that Bao'er is much better. Are you free today? Do you want to go see him together?"
Shen Nanbao's mind was confused. Feng Yue came to help her get up. She leaned on the bedside and sighed weakly.
But before he could say anything, a voice came from the side, as cold as ice, "You're not allowed to go."
