18. Night talk
Shen Yu was embarrassed by Shen Ping's question. Why did Xue Ning make a move, wasn't it just to be jealous of Qin Yue's struggle?
But how can this be mentioned to Shen Ping?
Although Shen Yan is not too thin-skinned, she wants to talk to her father about the hearts of young men and women, but she has never done anything before, she can't help but blush, and said: "How do I know, maybe I provoked her in the past two days, but I didn't notice it." ”
Shen looked at her daughter calmly and didn't speak.
There was a moment of silence in the room, and incense curled on the table next to it. Shen Yan was limited in age, and she had something hidden in her heart, so she couldn't bear Shen Ping's gaze, so she had to bow her head and say, "Daddy, don't ask." ”
"Is it for Qin Yu?" Shen Ping guessed it.
Shen Yan looked up at her in surprise, her face turned red for some reason, and then nodded slightly.
If it is left elsewhere, where can the father and daughter talk about these topics, but Shen Ping is already open-minded, and Shen Yan was used to being coquettish and foolish when she was young, and she prefers to ask Shen Ping for advice when she has something, and the tacit understanding between father and daughter is not too embarrassing.
Shen Ping was only concerned about Shen Yan's situation now, and asked, "Then what do you think?" ”
"What else can my daughter think," Shen Yu chuckled, "The two of them have the heart to play this, but I don't have that kung fu." ”
"Actually, if you look at it carefully, Qin Yu's kid is not bad. This time, he begged me for a long time in order to come out with him, saying that it was for the sake of knowledge and to see more of the skills of the collectors. Shen Ping took the teacup and tasted it slowly, completely in the same fatherly posture as when he talked about the world, "I have secretly looked down over the years, Qin Yu, this kid is really interested in you, and it is worth entrusting." ”
"Daddy!" Shen Yan interrupted shyly and annoyedly.
Shen Ping smiled, "Why are you embarrassed now?" Before, he was still shouting to palm his eyes when recruiting a son-in-law. ”
"That's not like you messing around with mandarin duck scores." Shen Yu's slight embarrassment just now dissipated, but she calmed down and said, "What is the status of the Qin family, you don't know how Qin Yu can enter the door of our Shen family." And you also vaguely mentioned earlier that Uncle and Lord Qin haven't dealt with each other much recently......"
"I've learned to care about that." Shen Ping smiled approvingly and sighed: "I also think that a sincere child like Qin Yu is really hard to find, if I really hand you over to him, I can rest assured as a father." As for the discord between your uncle and Lord Qin, put it aside for the time being. Now it depends on your will, and if you are willing, I will help him. ”
"But if that's the case, Qin Yue will give up too much."
"It's nothing, it's just a matter of what you want." Shen Ping seemed to be explaining, "When your mother wanted to marry me, everyone felt that the family was wrong, and they didn't understand why your mother let go of the noble sons of the Houmen in the capital not to marry, but followed my unintentional cloth clothes. But now you see, she didn't feel pity at all, and she was very glad for her choice at that time. What's more, Qin Yu's move is not a complete abandonment of his future, he can still enter the imperial examination and show his ambitions, he can see it himself, what are you worried about? ”
This...... Shen Yu was speechless again.
In fact, rationally speaking, among the school-age children that Shen Yu can reach now, Qin Yu is indeed the best choice. The family background is prominent, the talent is outstanding, the kind-hearted but not pedantic, the act is steady and flexible, and retains the fresh air of a young man, he is really a rare leader.
In terms of Shen Fei's family background, if she wants to marry into the Qin family, she is Gao Pan, and if she wants Qin Yu to enter the door of the Shen family to recruit a son-in-law, it can be regarded as wishful thinking.
Now seeing that this "wishful thinking" has the possibility of becoming a reality, it is right for anyone to be happy, but Shen Yu can't be happy, and even feels ...... Worry.
Qin Yue entered the Shen family, and he could still show his ambitions in his career, which Shen Ping was not wrong about. But no matter what, recruiting a son-in-law to the Shen family, who is a common man in cloth, as a son of a first-class and second-class master, it is impossible for Qin Yue not to give up something.
If he and Shen Yan are happy, it's fine, and the two of them want to stay together, and it's okay to give up some things, but the key is-
Shen Yu asked herself, she was actually more of a fellow student of the academy for Qin Yu, and there was no love between men and women. Even her intuition told her that in a few years, she still wouldn't have any feelings for Qin Yu.
In this case, if Qin Yu recruited his son-in-law again, Shen Yu felt too sorry for him.
After all, he was the best friend in the academy, and Shen Yu had always looked forward to Qin Yue being able to show his ambitions and surpass his father in the future, so he didn't want to pit him.
After sorting out these, Shen Yu's heart was much brighter, and when she looked up, her face was already safe, "My daughter has thought about it, Qin Yu is not a good match, Daddy still finds a way to tell him to stop this thought." ”
"Figured it out?"
"Think it through!"
Shen Ping looked at his daughter, there was no regret in his eyes, and after a while, he nodded and said, "It's dark at night, let's go and rest early." ”
Shen Yan had a brisk expression on her face, and served Shen Ping to take the pills for daily maintenance, and then went back to the house. The heather had already made the mattress and the incense given by the local officials, and waited for Shen Yu to freshen up and fall asleep.
After cleaning her face before going to bed and maintaining it, Shi Nan carefully wiped the plaster on Shen Yan's cheeks to remove the scar, and sighed: "I was walking on the road with Miss Xue just now, the face towel on her face was blown up by the wind, and I saw that the scar on her face was still very conspicuous." The wound had just scabbed, and in some places it was red after the scab faded, about two inches long, and it seemed that it was seriously injured at the beginning! ”
"Her wound just scabbed?"
"yes."
How can it be so slow...... Shen Yu couldn't help but look at herself in the mirror. The scar, which was as thin as a gossamer, was not as conspicuous as it had been at first, and it would not have been even noticeable when it had not been looked at on a cursory scan. Her wound healed quite quickly, and it was not unrelated to the plaster sent by Xu Yan, but Xue Ning was injured on the same day as her, and now the wound has only scabbed, so it's too slow, right?
"It stands to reason that Xue Ning's wound should have scabbed over two days ago, and it can be scabbed off at this time, right?" Shen Yan turned her head and asked Shi Nan.
Shi Nan didn't care about it at first, but at this time, after she reminded her, she also felt strange, "It's really slow." I heard that Zisui and the others are looking for good ointments to treat injuries everywhere, even if it can't be as effective as this medicine of His Royal Highness King Duan, it shouldn't be so slow. ”
Shen Yu groaned when she heard this.
The ointment that Xue Ning found was definitely fine, her wound was slowly recovering, and it must have been a problem when she scratched it in the first place.
Shen Yan remembered that Xu Yan had told him quite seriously at that time: "This ointment is enough for you to recover as before, don't mess with the ointment recently." ”
She didn't care about it at the time, but now that she thinks it's a little strange.
Could it be that Xue Ning actually smeared something that was not conducive to the recovery of the wound on the claws of the gray mink, and Xu Yan noticed it, so he told her not to use medicine indiscriminately?
If this is the case, Xu Yan is afraid that he will return it as it is, then Xue Ning's wound has not healed for a long time, which is naturally reasonable.
If her speculation is correct, then Xue Ning's evil Cheng can be raised to the next level!
When she met Xu Yan the next day, Shen Yan asked about it euphemistically, Xu Yan glanced at her, and only said: "Although I look stupid, my head is also very clear, and I can see the subtleties." ”
Does that mean she guessed correctly? Of course, Shen Yu was a little happy to be praised by others, but - what does it mean to look stupid? She looked up slightly annoyed, and saw that Xu Yan had already left the door of the inn, and she didn't know what to do.
Shen Yu was ridiculed by him in vain, and she had nowhere to vent her anger, so she had to take a few more bites of soft cakes during meals. Even Shen Ping could see the strength of the gnashing of teeth, and asked her with a smile, "Grandma has a grudge against this pastry?" ”
There is no hatred, but I am unhappy! Shen Yan glanced at Shen Ping quite aggrievedly and didn't answer.
To say that Shen Ping's reputation as a good father really didn't come out of thin air, seeing that Shen Yan was in a bad mood, he actually took the time to go to a literary play store on the way to visit the collector, and picked a very cute white rabbit pen holder for Shen Yan to play, so that his daughter was happy.
These days, Xue Ning has probably devoted herself to that face, but she has not regained any moths, Shen Yu is happy and quiet, and she goes to various study buildings every day, although she is tired, her heart is full.
After a few days to Chiayi, there is a local Jade Girl Peak famous, after the group visited a few collectors, headed by Chiayi's parent official Meng Jin, the local officials picked a sunny weather, accompanied Xu Yan and Xue Wanrong and others to play.
Shen Yu, the name of this Jade Girl Peak, had also heard that she had passed through Chiayi when she traveled with Shen Ping before, and she had planned to see and see, but unfortunately there was a small change at that time, and the father and daughter hurriedly returned to Luling, and the plan to play was shelved.
This time when she came to Chiayi again, Shen Yu had been planning for a long time to go to play, but now that she has the arrangement of the local parents, it is better.
Fortunately, Meng Jin has a baby daughter Meng Xian who has been lively and hospitable since she was a child, and this time she will accompany the two girls to play, and Meng Jin will also accompany the group of nobles with confidence.
When they first entered the Jade Girl Peak, the array was distinct, Meng Xian, Xue Ning and Shen Yu were surrounded by a group of maids to climb the peak, and on the other end were Meng Jin and other officials accompanying Xu Yan, Xue Wanrong, Qin Yu and others. Later, His Royal Highness Duan Wang was impatient to be restrained, and he didn't know where to go, Qin Yu and a group of politicians were bored, so they also came to Shen Yu from time to time to hang out.
Shen Yu is not used to climbing the mountain on her shoulder, so she happens to walk with Qin Yu.
The two of them were very happy and contented, but behind them, the chill in Xue Ning's eyes became stronger and stronger.
