The two of them agreed with each other. Regarding the next criticism and Jing Zhaoyin's concerns, even the two departments had confidence. They just waited and waited. Before anyone came from Kaifeng Mansion, they waited for Yu Xiao first. Lady and Chen Fangyan.
When Shen Nanbao heard the news, he was teasing Menzi with the baby. He was doing much better recently and his vertical jump was no problem. Peijiu occasionally brought some dog milk and said, look at this boss, he will definitely be fat in the future. .
As soon as Lu Kui saw him and said something, Shen Nanbao froze there, with a vacant look in his eyes and said, "Why don't you say you are well, so as not to look at each other."
After saying this, the baby's moist, cold black nose pressed hard against Shen Nanbao's face, making Shen Nanbao come back to his senses and smile, "Don't make trouble..."
After sending the baby to Fengyue's arms, Shen Nanbao suddenly said: "You're here, if I'm sick, do you think Sister Yu can just roar outside the door according to her temperament?"
This is true, when the time comes, it will be even less embarrassing.
Then Shen Nanbao changed into a furry fur coat with Aquarius pattern and went to the front hall. This clothes was given to her by Xiao Yichen yesterday.
Yesterday was the winter solstice. The so-called "winter wontons, new year wontons", Xiao Yichen asked someone to make mutton dumplings, and then he swallowed a hot mouthful of dumplings in front of the silver bone charcoal in the snow that was like salt. This winter I am no longer afraid of the cold.
However, Xiao Yichen was indifferent to others and always treated her with motherly love. Seeing that it was getting cold, he was afraid that she would freeze, so he took advantage of the opportunity to eat dumplings yesterday and gave this to her. Of course, not only that, there is also a sky-blue cloak with silver threads embedded in it, and it is connected with a windbag. With just such a cover, no matter how strong the wind is, it will not blow into the body.
Shen Nanbao was originally afraid of the cold, but today he behaved like the wind. As soon as he entered the front hall and opened the door, charcoal dust and sparks flew into the room.
As the young lady stood close to the charcoal, she could clearly feel a very warm moment. Her face felt like it was burning, which made her jump out of bed, "But it burned me to death!"
Turning his eyes, he looked at Shen Nanbao with squinting eyes, "Sister Bao, look at how grand you are! You even asked me to get up to greet you."
Her teasing dispelled Shen Nanbao's embarrassment and hesitation when he saw Chen Fangyan.
Shen Nanbao greeted him with a smile, "I'll call people's attention later and put a cover up so that no charcoal dust or anything else can fly out."
The young lady also smiled, bent her elbow, and pushed Shen Nanbao straight up, "It's just a little smoke, I'm too shameless, otherwise look at you, you have been married for so long, I just came to congratulate you."
After saying this, everyone except the little lady was stunned.
As for Shen Nanbao, of course he was embarrassed, so he shook her and said, "Don't make trouble..."
A glance came from the side, and without turning around, one knew it was Chen Fangyan.
Therefore, the words that reached his throat were swallowed by Shen Nanbao, and he turned to ask: "Why are you here today? Over there at Zhenbao Pavilion..."
The little lady held up the brocade handkerchief and gestured, stopping her from saying, "You are only allowed to be the shopkeeper, but you are not allowed to have a day of leisure? Don't worry! Didn't we recruit a waiter at the beginning? I saw that one of them was still a waiter. He is quite smart, and I usually support him a lot, but now he can take charge of his own business a little bit, and he can manage the Treasure Pavilion without me going."
Although these words were meant as a joke, Shen Nanbao still felt a little embarrassed and muttered: "It's my fault, I won't go..."
"I told you earlier that if I don't go, I won't go. I went because I couldn't sit around at home and couldn't stand my mother's nagging, so I went to the Treasure Pavilion to hide. But..."
The young lady paused for a moment, then held her back with a smile, "If you really feel 'uneasy', can you take me to see the Prince's Mansion? Otherwise, when spring starts tomorrow, I will never see you again." "
He couldn't avoid the official marriage grant in his words. He didn't say it to make Shen Nanbao ashamed, but he made Chen Fangyan and Xiao Yichen next to him warm and cold.
Shen Nanbao only felt that the water was in deep trouble and hurriedly pursed his lips, "Just look at it and see what the fool is saying."
As he said this, he held Miss Gu with one hand and dragged her out. As he walked, he said to Xiao Yichen, "I'll take Sister Gu to Aibao Xuan."
As soon as the words 'Ai Baoxuan' were spoken, the room instantly froze. To be precise, the smile on Chen Fangyan's face froze and froze at the edge of his mouth.
Only then did Shen Nanbao realize that he had said the wrong thing, but at this moment there was no use biting his tongue and regretting it. Anyway, he should first pull out the person who was jumping on the blade, the little lady.
It snowed all night last night, but it didn't snow again today. The old man also cheered up and came out to show his face. The snow inside and outside was melted by the sun. From a distance, it just felt like it was lying on the ground. The mirror is shiny.
Shen Nanbao was walking among them, and the light shone on her face, which was white in bits and pieces. The areas that were not illuminated were covered by shadows, which looked very much like the faces of the singers on the stage, with their patchwork colors. , seeing this made the little lady’s heart tremble.
"Sister Bao..."
Shen Nanbao pursed his lips into a thin line and said sternly, "Sister Gu, tell me honestly what you came here to do today?"
The young lady said coquettishly, "Did you notice?"
Shen Nanbao glanced at her angrily, "It's not easy for you to tease or stab someone in the face. You just poked her heart like this today. I can't tell."
The young lady smiled, "You're right, I can't get used to seeing Xiao Yichen and deliberately snapping at him like that?"
Before Shen Nanbao could say anything, the young lady took her hand and patted the back of her hand, "He and Zheng Na so-and-so pushed you so hard before, so I can't let you vent your anger! Even though you are now Brother and sister, after all, we were happy with each other before! How could he turn around and go find other girls, and be so ruthless to you!"
Shen Nanbao only said that this was not the case, but she couldn't explain it clearly in a few words. She only took the young lady into the Aibao Pavilion and sat down. While pouring tea for her, she said: "Don't mince words. The sky is over, please answer me seriously, what are you doing here today?"
The little lady quickly pursed her lips, her eyes slipped to the baby, and she hurriedly knelt down to tease the baby, "When did you get this baby? What's its name? It's so beautiful! Look at it. Look at the white hair on its face, it doesn’t look random at all, it looks like a pattern..."
The little lady paused for a moment, then narrowed her eyes with a smile, "I remembered, this flower looks like the gold ring sold by Zao Wang's family, and it was said to be in the shape of a heart. I was very happy when I heard it, saying that it looks like It’s like cutting open a person’s heart and looking at it.”
Shen Nanbao frowned and took a sip of the tea on the table. It took him a while to realize, "You were distracted. You haven't answered me yet!"
Shen Nanbao also noticed her difficulty in speaking. He put down the cup, and the yellow tea soup reflected her calm face, "Did Chen Fangyan ask you to come?"
The young lady was startled, "Did you see it?"
He hurriedly shut his mouth again, as if he thought it was a bad look, and tried his best to find a place for himself and said: "You saw it and asked me, aren't you just waiting to see me embarrassed?"
Shen Nanbao smiled, "Didn't you do the same to me just now?"
This was just a joke, Shen Nanbao said, the little lady didn't take it seriously, and she didn't take it seriously either. Instead, a layer of gloom formed between her brows, making the little lady look stunned.
"Don't think too much, it's just a few words. I think it's time to say it. After all, you and Xiao Yichen... Anyway, Chen Fangyan is your future official. It's normal for him to give a few reminders and admonishments. of."
normal.
Shen Nanbao still had a fresh memory of the way the two of them faced each other during the Qiqiao Festival last time, and she couldn't help but glance at the young lady.
"You're not afraid of them talking and making moves."
The little lady visibly trembled, her tongue twisted, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid! We are so old, is it still worth taking action?"
After saying this, his voice gradually became quieter, and his face showed a sense of panic.
Shen Nanbao sighed when he saw this, "You were just trying to vent your anger on my behalf, but instead Chen Fangyan took you away by the nose."
The young lady didn't like to hear this, it seemed like she was stupid, "I also saw that he had ulterior motives, but I didn't think it was inappropriate. It's just a matter of a few words."
She is right, Shen Nanbao said: "Sister Gu, you have heard the recent rumors."
The young lady was startled, and hurriedly pouted, "Don't be too impatient, those are all monkeys who eat the ashes of lamp grass, then..."
"What if I tell the truth?"
Shen Nanbao looked at the angry face of the young lady, and clasped the hands on his knees, "He and I just said it because Shen Shi didn't want to make things easier for us, so we deliberately pulled each other together."
It took a while for the little lady to catch her breath. As soon as she gasped, anger rushed to her throat, and she roared out, "That Shen Shi... he, he, is simply a beast! How could he do this? Woolen cloth!"
The little ladies act unruly, but after all, they use good education to intimidate them. It's okay to treat those little ladies with a few babbles. If you really want to scold them, how can you understand those scoldings.
Shen Nanbao was afraid that she wouldn't scold him, so he felt embarrassed and said hurriedly: "That's it anyway, so we just waited for the wind outside to get louder and spread to the ears of the officials. The Marquis of Beijun The ears are also intact."
When she said this, the little lady didn't understand what she was thinking. She moved her buttocks and moved closer to her, "You have to keep your eyes open, and don't blame my old lady for talking. You have to think carefully. He did that to you back then."
Her eyes were full of concern. This was the rare warmth Shen Nanbao felt since his rebirth. Naturally, he wouldn't be surprised. Instead, his heart was filled with tenderness.
"I know, but, there was a reason why he treated me like that."
The young lady couldn't listen to these words. She just felt that she was blinded by the leaf of love and could not see Zhou Zhang clearly. She said: "Anyway, you have to weigh it yourself. This is your business after all. I am an outsider." At most I can give you some suggestions, but it’s up to you to make the specific decision, but there’s only one thing I want to tell you seriously.”
The little lady stopped.
Shen Nanbao looked over and met her silent eyes with a solemn expression, and then heard her say.
"You are young and don't know what those young men are really like, but the existence of those hooks shows everything. They... are not tolerant masters. You and he are under the same roof, and we occasionally face each other. Eye, it’s okay to say a few words of love, but don’t let him get started! Do you know?”
