"You said she's moving out? Where is she going to live alone? Shen Hong looked at the visitor with a little surprise. It turned out to be Liang Feng, who was entrusted by Shen Yanjiao, and he came to visit Shen Hong at the General's Mansion early in the morning to talk about it.
"Yes, teacher, Jiao'er said that she didn't want to live a dull life in this house, anyway, she was one less, and she saved a lot of rations for the house, hehe. When I saw how sincere she was, I agreed to be a lobbyist. Liang Feng said.
"Could it be that last night's incident made her want to move out? It's nonsense! She is the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, and she can't get rid of this heavy identity when she goes there, a girl's family, what kind of system does it become to move out and live alone! Shen Hong thought that Shen Yanjiao was full of resentment against him and this family because of what happened last night, so he asked someone to bring a message to Liang Feng to act as a lobbyist.
"What happened last night? Did something happen to Jiao'er last night? Hearing Shen Hong's words, Liang Feng's heart jumped, could it be that something really happened to Shen Yanjiao? No wonder he deliberately took a detour to her yard today, but someone guarded the door and didn't let him in!
Shen Hong was stunned, it turned out that Liang Feng didn't know about last night, could it be that Shen Yanjiao was ready to move out of this house a long time ago? Faced with Liang Feng's question, Shen Hong still told him about last night's incident.
Liang Feng heard that Shen Hong had locked up Shen Yanjiao indiscriminately, he was depressed for a while but to no avail, in front of him was his most respected teacher, did he want to blame his teacher for being unfair?
Liang Feng has been by Shen Hong's side for many years, and any changes in his mood can't hide Shen Hong's eyes, Shen Hong smiled and said helplessly: "Do you think I'm blaming and punishing her?" After that, he sighed and continued: "In fact, over the years, I have seen how she has been, and I deeply feel sorry for her, my mother is gone, and my father's care has never been the slightest, and she has grown up strong alone. But you also know that national affairs are important, and I really don't have time to care about these trivial matters, and I gradually neglect this family...... The Jade Luo clan, after all, can't get into the hall of elegance, and the more this family is managed, the more chaotic it becomes, so that a businessman's daughter is arrogant here! If Jiao'er's mother was still alive...... Huh! Now that this situation has become a situation, I also have my responsibility. ”
Shen Hong paused and continued: "Jiao'er, she is a smart person, I received the news yesterday, she made a deal with the little son of Wanshang Alliance and made some money, right?" Although I don't know how she did it, this child has gradually grown up! Last night's incident, although I didn't ask at the time, I could guess a rough idea, the fault was not Jiao'er, I let her be confined and not let her enter or leave or let people visit, in fact, I was protecting her! That Lin Yan'er, I will clean it up sooner or later, but I still have to keep her for now...... Huh! In just a few words, Shen Hong sighed several times, his face was full of helplessness, now he has no energy to take care of the whole mansion, and the Yu Luo clan is a person who has no idea and no ability, and he has managed this family into this virtue over the years, but it has added a lot of constraints to him.
"Teacher, actually I ......" As soon as Liang Feng opened his mouth, he interrupted Shen Hong.
"I know what you mean, and I know that you have this ability, but I won't accept it, a dignified general accepts help from apprentices? Where do you want my old face to go? Shen Hong shook his head and said, his attitude was resolute, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to Shen Yanjiao...... Perhaps, this is a good turnaround.
"Jiao'er I agreed, you just let go to help her, I happen to know that there is a good courtyard, although a little small but the environment is elegant, the most special thing is that this family in the downtown area of the city also has a small shop for sale, Jiao'er she likes to tinker with some novelties since she was a child, you take her to see, she should be satisfied, but also by the way to solve her livelihood problems outside." Shen Hong suddenly changed his tone, agreed to Shen Yanjiao's request to move out of the house, and gave Liang Feng, who was struggling to find a house, a good suggestion.
Although Liang Feng regretted that his teacher had rejected his mind again, Shen Hong's unexpected change of words surprised him greatly, and now he finally lived up to the little girl's expectations!
"But after the three-day lockdown! It's also a small warning to her, as a young lady in the first house, she has no image to fight with others, it's really embarrassing for me! Shen Hong blew his beard again and glared at each other, and Liang Feng shook his head helplessly with a wry smile.
Shen Yanjiao's yard.
"Wow! Miss, your drawings are so beautiful! Neon looked at Shen Yanjiao holding a brush and sketching a beautiful skirt pattern there, and couldn't help but sigh.
"That's not it, you, Miss I'm a natural genius, there's nothing I can't learn!" Shen Yanjiao said triumphantly, her face was full of smiles, this hand was taught to her by Liang Feng, when she was a child, Shen Yanjiao liked Liang Feng holding her hand the most and taught her to learn calligraphy and painting one by one, of course, her painting can not have today's skills is inseparable from the results of diligent practice, if it weren't for Liang Feng, she might not even be able to write her own name by now! Shen Yanjiao sighed, this ink, paper inkstone is not cheap, how can she, a person who can't even eat, afford such an expensive thing?
Shen Yanjiao looked at the pen in her hand with gentle eyes, this Zihao was a gift given to her by Liang Feng when she began to teach her literacy, and in the blink of an eye, she had been with her for so many years.
"That's it! You see, can you do it? Shen Yanjiao asked while blowing on the ink marks that had not yet dried.
"I'll see." Neon took the pattern, and just looked up, she couldn't help but exclaim: "It's wonderful!" Miss painted the most popular Liuyun skirt in Beijing for a while, but it was different, just lightly changed a few places, so that the skirt that was originally as elegant as Liuyun but too cumbersome and inconvenient was a little more capable and concise, and it would not hinder the action too much, Miss, you are too powerful! But slaves and maids are not bad, slaves and maids will make it for you! Neon marveled at Shen Yanjiao's design, and was ready to cut and sew clothes with the pattern in her hand, and the obsessive look was no less than Shen Yanjiao's enthusiasm for cooking.
Shen Yanjiao shook her head with a smile, tilted her head and thought for a while, and the next pattern was slowly sketched out in her hand. The room was quiet for a while, and the master and servant enjoyed this rare quiet time, each busy with the things at hand.
Seeing Liang Feng away, Shen Hong looked thoughtfully in the direction of Shen Yanjiao's yard, thought for a while, and then raised his legs and walked forward.
"Jiao'er, you...... Come out and talk to you about things for the Father. Entering the courtyard and standing at the door of Shen Yanjiao's house, Shen Hong looked at this dilapidated place, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, he was really embarrassed to go in, so he had to call Shen Yanjiao in front of the door.
Shen Yanjiao, who was busy making clothes with Neon, was stunned for a moment, and his father was ...... How did you come here to find her? Hurriedly put down the work in his hand and opened the door and walked out, and all this had no effect on Neon, who was obsessed with making clothes.
"Hello father!" Shen Yanjiao saluted, her face was no longer as lost as yesterday, as if nothing had happened, and her expression was as usual.
Seeing Shen Yanjiao like this, Shen Hong sighed secretly in his heart, his daughter's temperament really follows her mother, no matter how much she has been wronged, she can suppress it in her heart and not say it, not be coquettish or complain, and pretend to live strongly.
"If you want to move out, Feng'er has already told me, and I agreed." As soon as Shen Hong finished speaking, Shen Yanjiao, who was still indifferent, raised her head suddenly, looking incredulous.
"Father, this... Shen Yanjiao didn't know what to say for a while, she didn't expect that Brother Liang Feng had already told her father about it, and she didn't expect her father to agree to her so easily! She originally wanted to wait until Liang Feng found a good house and everything was ready before she went to explain this matter to her father, and she was also prepared to leave the house secretly without being promised, but now she hasn't done anything, so she ushered in this news!
"You have grown up and have your own ideas, I know you are very smart, otherwise you would not have survived so strong under the bullying of those people all these years. I...... Shame on you. I haven't cared for you well once in all these years. Shen Hong didn't directly explain his intentions, but first confessed his mistakes to Shen Yanjiao for so many years, and his expression was sincere, which made Shen Yanjiao even more overwhelmed.
"Father, don't say that, my daughter knows that you have been busy with national affairs over the years, so you can't take care of the affairs of the family, and the daughter has never blamed her father, but occasionally she has ...... It's just lost. Shen Yanjiao said sincerely, she really felt her father's sincere heart, and responded with the same sincerity.
Shen Hong's eyes were slightly red when he was moved by Shen Yanjiao's well-behaved and sensible, he reached out and took Shen Yanjiao into his arms, feeling his daughter's delicate and light figure, and sighed secretly. It's been eight years, since Shen Yanjiao was born, he has never hugged her even once, and in a blink of an eye, the child has grown up, but ...... I will leave him.
"Jiao'er, my father knows, you are a sensible child, and I ask for something for my father, I wonder if you can agree?" After a while, Shen Hong let go of Shen Yanjiao, lowered his head and said to her gently.
It turns out that this is the warmth of my father's arms? It is bigger and warmer than Liang Feng's brother's arms. Shen Yanjiao, who was immersed in this moment, was pulled back to reality by Shen Hong's question, she raised her head and blushed slightly, showing a big satisfied smile and said to Shen Hong: "Father, please say, as long as it is something that my daughter can do, I will definitely help you!" “
