Because they shared the same umbrella, the two were very close to each other.
Pei Xueyan could clearly feel that Liu Shen beside him was like a small human-shaped stove, with bursts of warmth coming from his body.
Because of Liu Shen's strong figure, looking at Pei Xueyan who was only as high as his chin next to him, he could smell the fresh fragrance on her hair when he turned his head.
Pei Xueyan found it puzzling to see that he often turned to look at her, and then turned back with satisfaction after a glance.
So when he turned his head, he also turned to look over and asked, "Why do you always turn your head to look at me and don't speak?"
"..."
Liu Shen looked away nonchalantly and said, "There is a scent on the young lady's black hair. I can smell it when I turn around. Well, it's very fragrant..."
"..."
When Pei Xueyan heard this, the tips of her ears turned slightly red, but she just rolled her eyes at him and said nothing more.
Seeing that the atmosphere around him was a bit awkward, Liu Shen casually changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Song has no heirs and no one to inherit his huge family fortune. I wonder what my young lady's plans are in the future?"
"What can I, a woman, do?"
Pei Xueyan seemed to have thought of something sad, and lamented with a gloomy look: "I was originally sold into the Song family for happiness, but the joy failed, and my husband who was ill in bed left. Fortunately, the old man treated me well and treated me with dignity. I am like a woman.”
She paused and then said: "Now that the old man is old, I will naturally provide for him until the end of his life. As for the future, I really haven't thought about it yet."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Liu Shen was speechless and said: "If you want to control the Song family's property at your young age, I'm afraid you will have to work hard in the future."
“So what’s the trouble?”
Pei Xueyan glanced at him and muttered rather resentfully: "I want someone to help me share the burden on my shoulders, but someone is unwilling, tell me what to do?"
"..."
Liu Shen also knew that she was yin and yang himself, so he said nonchalantly: "Young lady, don't worry too much. Mr. Song has clear ears and eyesight, and his body and bones should be strong."
"The old man is already over sixty years old."
Pei Xueyan just smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "Now my body, tortured by the pain of losing my son, is getting worse. In just this year, I feel that the old man has aged more than ten years."
As she spoke, she thought of what the old man had told her that day. She lowered her head and bit her lower lip, and murmured softly: "But... the old man is quite open-minded. A few days ago, he asked me to find someone I like, and he also said he would buy something for me. There’s a dowry.”
"..."
Liu Shen was stunned when he heard this, and said with disbelief on his face: "Mr. Song asked you, the daughter-in-law of the Song family, to find the one you love? And he also wants to buy you a dowry?"
"That's why I say that the old man treats me like a girl."
Pei Xueyan nodded and said with a sigh: "Perhaps it's because he had great hands and eyes when he was young, but he is lonely and helpless when he is old. This gap is too big, so I don't want the younger generation like him to be as miserable as he is. Bitter and helpless.”
"..."
Liu Shen stopped where he was, looking at the depressed young lady of the Song family who was looking at him with a blank look on his face, and said sternly: "Young lady, please feel at ease. I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as my friend is still alive, you You won’t be miserable and helpless.”
"..."
Pei Xueyan looked at him blankly. For some reason, she suddenly felt that the tip of her nose was sore. She wanted to cry, but also wanted to laugh...
She was born unlucky...
When he was at home, his old father favored sons over daughters. When he learned that it was 'her fault' that caused the family's decline, he ignored her pleas and sold her to the Song family, who 'kept his wife's life' at that time...
One day, the young mistress of the Song family was not living a good life. Her husband, who was bedridden, left and she was busy outside for more than half a year.
She was a foreigner who was sold into the Song family. She didn't know who she could rely on in the unfamiliar Song family.
Although Mr. Song treats her well, he is an elder after all. Apart from the maid, there is usually no one around her who she can talk to...
Now there was someone who she had a good impression of looked into her eyes and told her, 'As long as I'm here, you won't be miserable and helpless.' How could she not be touched in her heart?
At some point, her red eyes were filled with moisture, but a smile appeared on her face...
In the misty rain...
Liu Shen held an umbrella with one hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the other, teasing: "I hate seeing women cry. Young Mistress, don't blame me for overstepping."
"Stop talking so much."
Pei Xueyan was so amused by him that she smiled, reached out and punched her on the arm, signaling him to continue to the Song family.
"Young lady, are we good friends?"
"What do you think?"
"I have an idea…"
"what idea?"
"Mr. Song treats the young mistress like a girl, and lets the young mistress look for the right person. They say that the one who is close to the water and the building is the first to get the moon. Since we are all good friends, I don't think you are old, and you don't think I am poor. Then I, a good friend, will suffer a little loss. , it seems that it’s not impossible to reluctantly be the young mistress’s crush, right?”
"I want to eat shit... No, am I very old?"
"Either old or not, it is said that a female college student holds a gold brick. If she is a young lady, it is okay for Liu to hold two gold bricks."
"Stop being a good boy. I don't dislike you for being a seventeen-year-old boy who has never eaten meat. Instead, you dislike me for being old! You little brat! You stinky brother!"
"Young lady, don't you know something? This man's health will not be good once he is twenty-five years old, and seventeen years old is the age when he is vigorous and vigorous, so I want to take some losses and take advantage of you, young lady~"
"you……"
In the long curtain of rain, the two of them were either arrogant or playfully sarcastic. However, although they said no mercy to each other, no one knew what they were thinking...
Outside the Song family.
Liu Shen looked at the wealthy members of the Song family and said with emotion: "If you miss this village, you won't have this shop. As long as the young mistress asks, I will take this opportunity to propose marriage to Mr. Song."
"You... stop saying a few words!"
Pei Xueyan was considered a lady, and she was already blushing when she was teased all the way.
Now seeing Liu Shen arriving in front of the Song family and still speaking so openly, she raised her small pink fist and struck him viciously on the waist, pretending to be fierce and warned: "If someone hears it, it will reach the ears of the old man." Here, be careful that the old man sends someone to skin you."
"..."
Hearing this, Liu Shen cooperated with her, covering his mouth in feigning fear, and looked around.
When Pei Xueyan saw this, she covered her lips and laughed. She rolled her eyes at him angrily and said, "Okay, okay, come with me to see the old man."
The two entered the Song family gate...
When the housekeeper Song Tongshan saw the young mistress asking to see the master, he couldn't help but have a strange look on his face, and asked: "Young mistress, this is..."
"The person the old man wants to see..."
"Then I'll pass it on."
Song Tongshan went in to make the announcement, and soon came back to let Pei Xueyan and Liu Shen in.
He frowned and looked at Liu Shen's back. He always felt that this young man looked familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen this person...
Liu Shen also saw Mr. Song after entering the inner house.
He originally thought that Mr. Song, who ran a huge business in Qinghe County, must be a vigorous old man with a bright eye.
What I never expected to catch my eye was an old man with white hair and beard, cloudy eyes, some stains on his face, holding a cane in his hand, and looking like he was dying.
But think about it...
Having a son in middle age and losing a son in old age makes you not only lonely and helpless, but also has no one to inherit the huge family fortune. You also have to guard against others coveting the family fortune. This experience can make no one energetic.
Pei Xueyan saluted and introduced, "Dad, the person next to me is Liu Shen."
Liu Shen came to his senses after hearing this, and saluted and greeted: "Junior Liu Shen, I have met Mr. Song."
"No need to be polite..."
When Song Yuanwai heard the greetings, he raised his drooped eyelids. He glanced at Liu Shen first, then waved his hand to Pei Xueyan beside him, and said unhurriedly: "Xueyan, you go down first, I will be with you." My friend has something to say.”
"..."
Hearing this, Pei Xueyan glanced at Liu Shen beside her subconsciously, and seeing that he looked calm, she pursed her lips and nodded, and withdrew with some worry...
When Song Yuan saw his daughter-in-law going out, he slowly turned his attention to Liu Shen.
Liu Shen's pupils shrank sharply when he met Mr. Song's gaze. He had an inexplicable illusion that he was being targeted by a ferocious beast, and the hairs behind him stood up!
Under that sense of oppression, his heartbeat accelerated and his breathing became somewhat unsmooth. Only by guiding the energy in his body could he feel better...
"Hey, this is entry..."
