Chapter 11: Late Night
The night is as cool as water, and the promenade is tortuous.
At this time, it was late at night, and Shen Baitang went back to Qingxue Courtyard to rest, leaving Shen Fengxu in the Snowmelt Courtyard, as if waiting for something.
She sat on the swing in the snowmelt courtyard, quite bored, there was a light moonlight sprinkled on her thin figure, although she was swinging, but her mind was erratic, and she didn't know where to go.
The swing was ordered by Shen Baitang four years ago. At that time, Shen Fengxu was only a young child, living alone in the snowmelt courtyard, and there were only servants and servants, and he was very lonely, so Shen Baitang tried his best to relieve Shen Fengxu's boredom.
In addition to the swing, Shen Baitang also bought many interesting gadgets for Shen Fengxu, but unfortunately Shen Fengxu has always been quiet and not as lively as others, and in the end, those things were gradually discarded.
Only the swing has survived to this day.
Although they are memories from a long time ago, I still feel very warm in my heart when I think back now.
A sweet smile bloomed on Shen Fengxu's face.
It's just that the next moment, a person suddenly appeared in Shen Fengxu's sight, as if he was dodging, only hiding behind the wall, not daring to show his head.
So her face turned a little cold, and then she raised her voice: "Who is it?"
"I accidentally disturbed the girl, and the maid knew that she was wrong!"
The voice was a little uneasy, and the person who spoke did not hide, walked out from behind the wall, and knelt in front of Shen Fengxu.
It is lotus picking.
Shen Fengxu frowned slightly.
If Dansha is here, he must be shouting at Cailian.
But Chensha just stood quietly beside Shen Fengxu, looking at Cailian's expression, and didn't say a word from beginning to end.
"What are you still doing here in the middle of the night?" asked Shen Fengxu slowly as he gently rocked the swing.
Cai Lian bit her lip and explained: "The maid has been busy embroidering purses and has no time to be distracted, but I suddenly remembered that the back hall that Sister Dansha told the maid to clean has not yet gone, and I am afraid that I will be blamed by Sister Dansha tomorrow, so I ...... The maid didn't mean to disturb the girl!"
"Oh...... did Dansha order you?" Shen Fengxu tilted his head to look at her.
"Yes, this morning-" Speaking of this, Cai Lian paused slightly, couldn't help but be surprised, and turned to look at Shen Fengxu's side, but there was still no trace of Dansha, and couldn't help asking, "Why isn't Sister Dansha by the girl's side?"
Dansha accompanies Shen Fengxu every day, and there is no exception for a day.
Shen Fengxu just smiled: "There are still superfluous things to worry about, it seems that the purse is embroidered?"
Cai Lian choked and lowered her head: "Not yet." ”
Then go back and continue embroidering the purse. ”
"Yes. Cai Lian didn't dare to say much, so she could only respond, and got up to leave.
Cinnabar watched Cailian leave, with a thoughtful look on his face.
After another moment, the moonlight was cold, the night was deep and dewy, and there was just a cool breeze blowing, and the spring was cold.
Shen Fengxu rolled up his sleeves slightly.
It was just a slight movement, but Chensha was also in full view, so she approached Shen Fengxu a little and asked in a low voice: "Girl, do you want to rest?" ”
Shen Fengxu smiled: "No need, Dansha should be back soon." ”
So Chensha nodded and stood quietly beside Shen Fengxu.
Shen Yumin's serious illness is difficult to recover, although the medicinal materials used are not precious, but whether it is Aunt Su or Grandma Xu, they are just servants and maids in the house, and they are powerless, so Shen Fengxu ordered Dansha to go out to grab the medicine in person and send it to Xiangmei Courtyard.
Not long after, Dansha Fang came in from outside the snowmelt courtyard.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Shen Fengxu sitting on the swing, so she hurriedly ran over, glanced at Chensha, and said, "Why don't you let the girl into the house, it's so late, the night is cold and cold, and let the girl sit in the yard, what if you get sick?"
Cinnabar just shook his head slightly, but didn't say a word.
Dansha said, and then helped Shen Fengxu: "Girl, come into the house." ”
"Can you send it?" Shen Fengxu only asked.
"The girl can rest assured, the maid will personally hand over the medicinal materials to Granny Xu's hands, there will be no mistakes, with Granny Xu taking care of her, the seventh girl will definitely be fine. ”
Shen Fengxu was relieved: "That's fine." ”
"Girl, hurry up and go into the house, it's so cold outside, it's not good if the girl gets cold." Dansha was concerned about Shen Fengxu, so he helped Shen Fengxu into the room.
In fact, Shen Fengxu can wait in the room in the morning, but it is just about Shen Yumin, Shen Fengxu unconsciously has a little worry, Xu remembered the daughter he also had back then, this is probably the concern is chaos.
After returning to the room, Dansha carefully made the bed for Shen Fengxu, and still said in his mouth: "Actually, the maid didn't have to delay for so long, but the girl ordered that no one else should be watched, and the maid hid all the way, so it was too late." ”
"Hmm. Shen Fengxu nodded, "It's okay, just send it." ”
"It's been a hard day, girl, go to bed early. ”
and Shen Fengxu lying on the bed, Dansha and Chensha withdrew from the room.
Out of the door, Chensha, who had always been silent, suddenly spoke: "Have you ordered Cailian to clean the back hall?"
Dansha was stunned, a little puzzled: "Yes, what's wrong? Could it be that she is lazy?"
Cinnabar shook his head and said no more.
Dansha never took trivial matters to heart, and quickly forgot about Cinnabar's words.
............
......
For several days in a row, Dongningbo Mansion was calm.
Shen Fengxu went to Yunsong Courtyard early every day to ask for peace, and in his spare time, he practiced calligraphy in the courtyard, and Shen Baitang also sent her some famous calligraphy from time to time for her to watch and copy, and occasionally she would go to Xiangmei Courtyard to visit Shen Yumin.
Shen Yumin's illness has gradually improved.
It's just that these days, Shen Yumin doesn't seem to be much different than usual, her face is no longer always showing a coquettish smile, but more and more quiet, always alone in the room, silently, even if the pain is due to illness, she just suffers silently.
Shen Fengxu is not a doctor, so he doesn't know whether Shen Yumin's transformation is good or bad.
can only order someone to take care of her wholeheartedly.
Other than that, nothing else.
The end of the day is leisurely.
Shen Fengxu didn't want to be so idle, she was concerned about the lotus pond, although she had the intention to investigate, but the mastermind behind the scenes did not move, she could only stand still, if she made a rash move, she was afraid that she would startle the snake.
In this regard, Shen Fengxu is extremely patient.
On this day, Shen Fengxu practiced calligraphy in the house.
Suddenly, I heard Dansha's voice coming from outside the door: "What are you doing here?!" The girl is learning calligraphy, you should be quiet, you can't afford to make a noise!"
The sound was like thunder, and the flowers and leaves outside the curtain moved.
Cinnabar sighed softly.
There was a difficult color on the lotus picking face outside the door: "But...... It's Sister Dansha's voice that is the loudest. ”
Dansha: "......"
Shen Fengxu was still writing, and he said without raising his head: "Chensha, you go and let her in." ”
"Yes. Cinnabar answered, and went out to summon Cailian in.
Cailian followed Chensha into the house, got up after saluting, and looked up at Shen Fengxu with a little uneasiness: "Girl, the purse has been embroidered." ”
