Liu Yingying stood up and left with a smile.
I didn't want to, but when I was about to go out, I suddenly saw my maid Qingfang opening the curtain, taking a look inside, and said with a smile: "Old madam, the fourth and fifth young masters have come to pay their respects to you."
As Qingfang spoke, she glanced in the direction of Liu Yingying.
Liu Yingying was a little surprised. It didn't mean that she was stuck in place for a while, and it didn't mean that she didn't move.
While hesitating, the Fourth Young Master Shen Mo strode in and said with a smile: "Grandma, my grandson is here to pay you a tribute."
I saw the curtain flicker, and a group of four or five tall people stepped in one after another. At the same time, I heard a three- or four-year-old boy with a yellow mouth imitating his tongue in a playful manner, saying: " The grandson also came to give a gift to his grandmother."
When Liu Yingying heard these vivid children's words, she subconsciously turned her head and glanced back, and saw five tall men rushing into the hall. The first one was Shen Mo, whom she had met a few days ago. , the remaining people are similar in age to him, all around fifteen or sixteen years old. They all have handsome looks, elegant clothes, and look like elegant and elegant scholars. Among them, Shen Mo is holding a three or four-year-old child with a tiger head and a tiger head.
Because there were so many people coming in, and everyone was tall and tall, I glanced at them and felt that the light at the door of the room was a little darker.
Liu Yingying didn't expect that so many people would come here, including foreigners.
Shen Mo and others seemed not to have expected that someone from the inner courtyard would come to Beiyuan that day. They were surprised for a moment. When they got a little closer, they saw this girl who was as beautiful as a fairy and so gorgeous. All the tall and powerful people stopped and froze on the spot.
Without him, Liu Yingying has a charming and bright appearance, and the visual impact on people at first sight is often subversive. Some people don't realize it at first sight, but the more they look at it, the more they look at it. Some people are stunned at first sight, and the more they look at it, the more The more ordinary it seems, some people are surprised at first sight and even more shocked afterward.
And Liu Yingying is the type who can seduce people with just one glance. Such women are rare among the children of aristocratic families.
It can be seen how surprised those unsuspecting people were when they first saw her.
One by one, they stopped and forgot to move forward.
Shen Mo was the first to react. He felt that the woman in front of him, who was as bright as a spring flower and looked like a fairy, looked slightly familiar. After seeing the person clearly, he realized that he had met her by chance at the ferry that day. Miss Liu arrived.
Shen Mo couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When he was at the ferry that day, he had expected that Miss Liu was beautiful, but he didn't expect that she would be so beautiful.
However, it was amazing. After all, he already had his heart. After being pulled in by his younger brother Xiao Shiba, he immediately took the first step to regain his composure. He coughed slightly and immediately led Xiao Shiba in. , said hello to Mrs. Shen.
At this time, the rest of the people calmed down and paid their respects to the old lady.
Mrs. Shen smiled and called Shen Shiba to her side and hugged her. She turned her eyes to Shen Mo and said, "Why don't you see your cousin Zizhan?"
Shen Mo said with a smile: "My cousin was with me just now. Halfway through, he remembered that my grandmother had prepared some small gifts for my grandmother, so I went back to get them."
Mrs. Shen said: "That child has a heart."
After saying that, he glanced at Liu Yingying and said with a smile: "This is Sister Ying, have you seen her before?"
Shen Mo then pretended to be calm, turned to look at Liu Yingying with a smile and said, "It's Miss Liu."
Then he asked with a smile: "Miss Liu is feeling better."
Liu Yingying immediately said calmly and generously: "It's done now. Thank you Fourth Young Master for your concern."
While speaking, he glanced in the direction of Mrs. Shen above. I wonder if it was my imagination, but I saw Mrs. Shen teasing her little grandson in her arms while watching their interactions with a smile from time to time. Her eyes were filled with joy. taste.
Shen Mo turned to the remaining companions and said, "This is Miss Liu."
Then he pointed at the remaining people and said to Liu Yingying: "These are the younger brothers and some brothers from the uncle's family."
Then he pointed at the child in the old lady's arms and said, "That's my younger brother, Xiao Shiba."
It is not that the young masters of the Shen family have never seen people in the world. Seeing the beautiful little girls, they felt awkward and unable to walk. In fact, firstly, they were a little surprised to meet the people in the inner courtyard here today, and secondly, they were overwhelmed by it. The appearance of this girl who suddenly appeared was a little startling, and she was in a daze for a moment.
After being introduced by Shen Mo, everyone nodded towards Liu Yingying and acted politely. Although they were polite, some people couldn't help but secretly look at her a few more times.
I don't know if it was Liu Yingying's misunderstanding, but she always felt that something was not right about the situation at hand. Just as she was thinking about it, Qingfang came again and said: "Old madam, several young men from the Third Master and the Fifth Master's family are here."
Mrs. Shen immediately called for invitation with a smile.
When Liu Yingying heard this, she immediately realized that something was wrong, and immediately said goodbye to the old lady without caring about anything else.
The old lady agreed with a smile, but when Liu Yingying turned around, she glanced at her back a few times, as if she was scrutinizing her.
After waiting for the person to leave, she saw someone in the room whose eyes couldn't help but follow her, as if she was a little distracted. The old lady asked about their studies one by one without showing any trace, and asked about everyone's situation in the academy, and picked out a few troublemakers to warn them. Once.
Halfway through the sentence, Mrs. Shen suddenly stopped abruptly. After coughing slightly, Mrs. Najian suddenly said calmly: "Everyone has gone away, what are you still looking at? Brother Qing?"
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, the room burst into laughter. One of them, a handsome and shy young man, turned away with a blushing face.
When the old lady saw that his face was red, she couldn't help but smile happily. However, after smiling, she sat up straight, squinted her eyes, looked around at everyone, and finally said with a rare serious face: "This book is from the book." There is a house of gold, and there is beauty in the book. You are still young now, so you should put your studies first. My Shen family has always built a career with pen and ink. You must always remember not to insult the sages of your ancestors. Of course, if any of you are half-hearted, If you are tired of books, just drop out of school, and then tell you that you have a beautiful wife and concubine, so as not to miss the tranquility of others."
The old lady spoke openly, with a clear warning in her tone, and she clearly meant something.
As soon as these words were said, the wandering eyes that wandered outside the courtyard were instantly brought back. Several people remembered how they had been in a daze just now, and they all raised their eyes to look up at their superiors, meeting the sharp and sharp eyes of Mrs. Shen. , his expression suddenly changed, and he was so frightened that he no longer dared to wander away.
Among them, Shen Qing's face was the most eye-catching. It turned red and white, and then he quickly lowered his head.
Of course, this part is a story for later, and Liu Yingying doesn't know.
When Liu Yingying came out, four or five other men walked in. When she passed by Liu Yingying, several men looked at her sideways.
Liu Yingying hurriedly raised her fan to cover her face and went out. When she got to a quiet place, she looked at Jianqiu behind her. Jianqiu's face was pale at the moment. She immediately stepped forward and said, "Today is the first day of the new year. It turned out to be the first day of the new year." It is the day when the young masters in the mansion and all the young gentlemen in the clan come to pay their respects to the old lady. In order to avoid seeing my foreign husband on the first day of every month, several girls in the mansion will avoid this day and come to pay their respects to the old lady."
As Jianqiu spoke, he just bit his lip and said with a pale face: "Yesterday it was twenty-eight. My slave forgot that it was February and that today is the first day of the lunar month."
After saying that, Jianqiu quickly glanced at Liu Yingying and said: "The girl has just arrived and it is understandable that she doesn't know the rules in the house. I will go and explain to Sister Qingchuan that it was my negligence. No wonder the girl got hurt."
After saying that, Jianqiu turned around and ran towards Beiyuan.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to avoid making people think too much if we didn’t choose any day and rushed to choose this day to present the old lady as a gift.
But Liu Yingying said at the right time: "That's all, the pure will become clear by itself, and the turbid will become turbid by itself."
He added: "The old lady's heart is like a clear mirror. I think she will be able to see clearly."
Although Liu Yingying didn't want to cause trouble in the Shen family as soon as she arrived, if she did so, she would be pretending to be coy and cause trouble.
He added: "After all, I'm new here and I don't understand everything. Although the Liu family's family background is not high, I don't want to ruin my father's reputation. I hope my sister can do more in the future."
Liu Yingying said this after thinking for a moment.
Jianqiu felt relieved when she saw that Liu Yingying had never blamed her. He also saw that she was generous, decisive and methodical in dealing with problems. She immediately nodded heavily and said, "I will definitely remember this."
If I had to come here to serve you a few days ago because of the old lady's wishes, then my words today are a little more sincere.
"Okay, let's go to Yue Lake now. The eldest lady is hosting a banquet, so there's no need to delay."
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Yingying was about to lead Qiu Shen to the banquet. Unexpectedly, a stone suddenly hit Liu Yingying's calf. The pain caused her to "hiss". At the same time, she could only hear the sound behind her. A childish voice came out with gritted teeth: "Female fairy, fox girl——"
Liu Yingying was stunned and couldn't help but stop in pain. She saw a little fairy boy of four or five years old standing there with a grin on her face, a dozen or so steps away, holding a slingshot in his hand and staring at her fiercely.
Seeing Liu Yingying looking over, he immediately raised his chin with a proud expression.
Liu Yingying was only a little confused.
Before she could recover, she saw the other party stuffing another small stone and shooting it towards Liu Yingying's face. Jian Qiu on the side immediately sounded the alarm and said: "Seventeenth Young Master, you... what are you going to do?"
Shen Shiqi said: "My mother said that beautiful women are all fairies and vixens. If I see one, I will beat one."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was seen pulling the slingshot very long, and just as he was about to eject, an exaggerated voice suddenly came from the distance: "Young Master——"
As soon as he said these words, the expression of the four or five-year-old noble prince suddenly changed, and a flash of fear flashed in his eyes. Not long after, his whole body trembled, his hands shook, and the stones in the slingshot fell to the ground with a thud. , but the little noble prince seemed to be unable to care about it. His expression immediately changed, and he didn't even have time to pick up the pebbles, so he jumped up and ran away.
As soon as Shen Shiqi slipped away, he saw a man in white walking out from behind the tree. It turned out to be Mr. Su Zi Zhan Su, whom he had met once before.
Chapter 013
By the way, Su Zizhan didn't come close. He stopped dozens of steps away from Liu Yingying and nodded lightly towards Liu Yingying.
Liu Yingying came to her senses and immediately said to Fu Fushen from a distance: "Thank you Mr. Su for your help -"
It turned out that it was Mr. Su who scared people away for her.
Su Zizhan smiled and said in an elegant and easy-going manner: "It's okay, it's just a matter of effort."
After that, he looked at Liu Yingying up and down and said, "Is Miss Liu injured?"
They only met once that day, and Liu Yingying's face was covered with a veil, revealing only one of her eyes. Unexpectedly, he recognized her at a glance, which showed that she was a sharp-eyed person.
Liu Yingying only smiled lightly, shook her head and said, "It's nothing serious."
While he was talking, he saw waves of panic coming from a distance, as if he was looking for someone, accompanied by "Quick, go look there quickly", "Don't miss the time to greet the old lady", "There is a waterside pavilion over there, If you fall into the water, you and I will lose our lives" and other panic words.
They should be looking for the arrogant, domineering and mischievous Young Master Seventeenth.
This place is still within the scope of Beiyuan. On this day, all the men from home and abroad came to pay tribute to the old lady. The crowds came in twos and threes. Liu Yingying couldn't meet her husband here, so she immediately turned to Su Zizhan again. He gave a salute and said, "Master, please excuse me."
After saying that, they looked at each other, Su Zizhan nodded slightly towards her and made a "please" gesture, Liu Yingying led Jianqiu and Taoyao and turned around to leave.
However, after taking seven or eight steps, Fang remembered her three-month goal. After thinking about it, she suddenly stopped slowly, turned her body sideways, glanced behind her, and said with a curious look on her face: " By the way, how did Mr. Su do it just now?"
Liu Yingying asked for advice humbly, acting like she was asking questions humbly.
He was referring to how he had driven away the vicious young master just now.
A four or five-year-old boy looked down upon a dog. If he got entangled, it would be really difficult to escape, especially for a young man with a noble status who could not be touched.
Then Su Zizhan slowly put his hands behind his back and smiled at Liu Yingying: "I heard my cousin mention by chance that the 17th son of the Shen family was doted on by everyone in the family since he was a child. He was most naughty. It can be said that he is not afraid of anything, except for his eldest cousin. Su just gave it a try casually, and it seems that what his cousin said is true."
Having said this, Su Zizhan raised his eyes and glanced at the other party again, with a slight smile on Fang's lips, and joked with a faint smile: "If we meet Miss Liu again in the future, we can try this method."
Liu Yingying seemed to be amused by the other party's witty words, and she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth slightly.
Seeing the mess all around, Mr. Su in the distance was dressed in white and spotless. He was elegant and handsome, with a straight body and a handsome appearance like pines and cypresses. He was similar to those romantic scholars who had been hanging out in romantic places all year round. There is a big difference. He has a slight smile on his face, behaves appropriately, and looks approachable. He is neither one of those elm scholars who only care about studying, nor one of those frivolous and lustful young men from aristocratic families. Looking at him from a distance, he shines brightly. He is a handsome young man who is as good as jade from Master Mo.
Liu Yingying couldn't help but take another look at the person, then lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes, making a shy gesture, and then hurriedly led the person away.
Su Zizhan watched the fairy figure go away, and then withdrew his gaze. Remembering the scene where he had just bumped into the other party being bullied and bullied by a child with a yellow mouth, he couldn't help but smile. After a moment, he turned around slowly with his hands behind his back.
But before turning around, I suddenly thought of something. I suddenly raised my eyes and looked forward again. I saw the figure walking away in the distance slowly stopped. The maid next to me seemed to be bending forward to investigate, but she was stopped by her. He waved his hand to stop him.
The three masters and servants quickly disappeared from sight.
Su Zizhan frowned lightly.
It turned out he was still injured.
As soon as Fang walked out of Beiyuan, Jian Qiu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Girl, fortunately that Mr. Su showed up just now and scared away the Seventeenth Young Master for us. Otherwise, this girl would be in trouble today." It’s hard to escape.”
Liu Yingying said: "Is that child always so naughty and mischievous? By the way, which room does he belong to? Isn't he usually unsupervised?"
Jianqiu said: "That is the only son of the fifth master of the fifth house. Everyone in the house cherishes him. How can the maid and the lady who serves him control him?"
He added: "The fifth wife is in poor health and has been in bed for many years. She has no intention of taking care of the seventeenth son. Plus... In addition, the fifth master is a romantic by nature. In the past few years, there have been many birds in the backyard. He only cares about being romantic and happy all day long. There is no time to look after the seventeenth son. The whole backyard of the fifth house is in a mess every day. There will be a lawsuit in three or five days. Today one will cry, tomorrow the other will make a fuss, and the next one will make a fuss. When he was about to hang himself, the old lady was left to worry about him blindly. The old lady felt that the Seventeenth Young Master was pitiful, so she spoiled him a little bit."
Jianqiu narrated the situation in the fifth house, and then said: "Xu, the Seventeenth Young Master, was instigated by his servants. He has developed a dislike for women since he was a child, especially beautiful women. He holds a slingshot and looks at it every day. The maids who arrived at the mansion began to throw stones. It was okay in Beiyuan, as there was an old lady in charge, but if any of the maids in the nearby courtyard was targeted by him, it would be unlucky. The key is that he is young and has a noble status. If he beats her up, there will be no excuse for her. If a girl is chased and beaten by him today, she will really only suffer in vain."
