"Big girl..."
When Shen Yunhui said it yesterday, Ping Niang didn't take it seriously, thinking she was just frightened.
Now she finally felt the fear that Shen Yunhui mentioned.
At first glance, Shen Tianshu still looks gentle and demure, but as soon as he meets her eyes, he suddenly feels like someone has seen through all disguises and penetrated his heart.
"Since you want to cooperate, you should be a little sincere." Shen Tianshu fiddled with the golden hairpin on his wrist and said casually, "You have to understand that it is you who need my help, but you are not worthy of me. None. If there are no conditions that can impress me, there is absolutely no need for me to carry the burden of Shen Yunhui on myself, are you right?"
Ping Niang's sweat dropped instantly, and she suddenly realized it. From the moment she walked in, the little maid said, "Miss, I've been waiting for you for a long time." She fell into the rhythm designed by Shen Tianshu, all the way Being led by her, it was too late to come back to his senses at this time, and he had completely fallen into passivity.
Seeing that Ping Niang finally reacted, Shen Tianshu smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to be afraid. I am different from Mr. Xu. As long as you are honest and obedient, I promise to find a good marriage for Shen Yunhui and ensure that you have no problems in your later years." Worry."
Now that the matter was over, Ping Niang relaxed and said with a wry smile: "The big girl is indeed amazing. Everyone missed her before."
"I can't call you powerful, but it's more than enough to deal with the Xu family." Shen Tianshu said with a smile, "Ping Niang, you are a smart person. I will not let you regret your choice today."
After sending Ping Niang away, Shen Tianshu finally asked someone to take off his headgear, relax his scalp that had been tense all day, and changed his clothes to get ready for bed.
Aunt Yang put away the clothes and jewelry she had changed into and returned them to their places one by one, but after searching for them, one of the beaded flowers was missing.
"Girl, did you go out wearing this pair of beads and flowers yesterday?" Nanny Yang went to the outhouse to ask Minghui.
"Sister Mingyu combed the girl's hair yesterday, and I didn't pay attention..." Minghui was confused by the question. "I just remember that the girl looked pretty yesterday. She was prettier than all the girls present."
"Oh, who asked you if you are beautiful?" Grandma Yang was really angry and funny, "Of course the girl is beautiful, but I am asking about Zhuhua!"
"Are these pearl flowers very expensive?" Minghui didn't know the reason behind this. What she saw in her hand seemed to be ordinary broken rice pearl flowers. There were neither large pearls nor gemstones, nor were they made of gold. .
"It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not. The key is that it's a girl's personal belongings."
Shen Tianshu heard the answer in the room: "I ran to several places yesterday. I was in a hurry and confused. I probably accidentally dropped the pearl flower somewhere. There is no need to look for it."
Aunt Yang simply taught Minghui directly, "When you are a servant around a girl, you must be discerning and attentive. The jewelry, purses, and handkerchiefs that girls usually use are all very important and must be looked at." Prison.
"Fortunately, this beaded flower was just bought casually and worn casually. It was not specially made. There is no writing on it, otherwise it would be a big problem."
Minghui immediately understood when she heard the handkerchief and said, "Mother Yang, are you saying that if a bad person gets it, she might use it to defraud the government office of money?"
"..." Aunt Yang raised her hand and knocked on Minghui's forehead, "You can't memorize medical books very quickly. Why are you so clueless about other things? If it is a custom-made thing, it will have the Yinlou mark on it. Yinlou There will also be some background. If some prodigal son steals it, then he takes it out and claims that it is a token of love given to him by the girl. Wouldn’t it ruin the girl’s reputation? So, if you go out with the girl in the future, these things , you are the one who has to help the girl stay in jail."
"Mother Yang, wouldn't I understand if you said this earlier?" Minghui promised again and again, "In the future, I will use the same seriousness as memorizing medicinal materials when I was a child to remember what the girl was wearing and what she wore, and I will ensure that nothing is missing. Come back after losing your place.”
When Shen Tianshu heard Minghui talking about memorizing medicinal materials when she was a child, she couldn't help but remember that when she was a child, when she was no taller than a stool, her grandfather had already taught her how to recognize various medicinal materials. She not only had to look at their shapes, smell their smells, and taste their tastes, but also No matter after cutting, slicing, grinding or stewing, you can still distinguish them.
Recalling every moment of getting along with his grandfather in his previous life, Shen Tianshu gradually fell into sleep.
Fan Yuru hurriedly hurried all the way, and finally returned to Prince Rui's Mansion on the morning of Laba, where he was directly left to have dinner by Li Zian.
During the Laba Festival, of course, breakfast is indispensable with a bowl of fragrant, glutinous and soft eight-treasure porridge, sprinkled with lard residue mixed with salt, and Fan Yuru ate it deliciously.
"How's it going? How was your trip to Yongzhou Mansion this time?" Li Zian asked after finishing his meal first.
"Ahem!" Fan Yuru was about to speak, but almost choked. She said rudely and hurriedly drank the water. Then she said, "I met Mrs. Tong once at Luo's house. I thought she was a quite gentle person. The child was also very patient, but it was a pity that she lost track of her in the end, and she was never seen again.”
"Let me tell you, this woman is not simple!" Li Zian suddenly paused as he spoke, raised his hand and pressed it on his heart, his brows furrowed, and his expression gradually relaxed after a moment.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Fan Yuru asked nervously, "Have you asked Dr. Liu to take a look at you?"
"I've seen it, it's okay, maybe it was just a sudden change of breath." Li Zian said as if nothing happened, "If my grandmother's illness hadn't been an accident, I would have doubted whether she had designed it specifically to get close to Prince Rui's Mansion. Come."
Fan Yuru was helpless when he heard this. Ever since Prince Rui fell ill, he had watched Li Zian's sense of security collapse bit by bit for more than three years, and his protection of his family and the palace had reached a morbid level.
It was no exaggeration to say that even if a mouse entered the palace now, he would wonder if someone had deliberately let it in to cause damage.
In order to divert Li Zian's attention, Fan Yuru simply changed the topic and said: "But I can't say that I gained nothing from my trip to Yongzhou this time. I met a very interesting girl. In fact, it's not just interesting. She is very smart, very careful, and very capable, completely different from the ladies I have seen before."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but put his hand into his sleeve pocket, caressing the broken rice pearl flower he accidentally picked up inside, while telling Li Zian one by one what happened in Yongzhou Mansion in the past few days.
At first, Li Zian was still teasing Fan Yu, but the more he listened, the more serious he became. Finally, he suddenly asked: "Did you watch Miss Minghui perform the acupuncture with your own eyes? Do you think she is Miss Tong?"
"Probably not." Fan Yuru shook her head repeatedly. "Although I don't know medical skills, Miss Minghui was obviously a little nervous and jerky when she first started acupuncture, and then she gradually relaxed. It was completely different from Mrs. Tong's ease of doing things with ease."
Li Zian touched his chin and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Then do you think it could be Miss Shen?"
