Chapter 5: Hungry and Crying
Here, Shen Jiayan didn't realize that he was about to be disciplined, and he was still excited about the environment of the West Courtyard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Looking at the winding verandah at the entrance of the west courtyard, there are small stones scattered under the steps, and there are several neat rooms inside, and what is even more beautiful is a few long bamboo poles on the west side of the courtyard, which are crawling with flowers and vines, dense green leaves lined with delicate flowers, and look like hanging colored satin from a distance. It melted Shen Jiayan's entire girl's heart, and she excitedly dragged the corner of Shen Qian's clothes for verification: "Brother, is this where I live?" ”
Shen Qian's originally depressed mood was dispelled a lot by his sister's cute behavior, he smiled and walked inside with Shen Jiayan. Shen Jiayan kept praising all the way, and the little girl who led the way was amused.
There were several calls of "Miss" in the courtyard, and before Shen Jiayan could react to his new title, he saw Zhu'er running towards him from the courtyard, "Miss, you are finally back." ”
Zhu'er saluted Shen Jiayan and Shen Qian, and said to Shen Jiayan with a smile: "Mama and I have been looking forward to you for a long time. Mama Zheng also came later, seeing that the little lady and the little master got along so well, she was even more relieved in her heart, and she also saluted respectfully.
"Do you want me or do you want something delicious?" Shen Jiayan immediately saw through Zhu'er's excuse and laughed, Zhu'er touched her head in embarrassment and smirked, which caused everyone to laugh again and again. Mama Zheng hurriedly followed up and said, "Little Miss, Little Master, it's too cold outside, let's go into the house." Shen Qian nodded, and then took Shen Jiayan and his party to the house.
After entering the door, Shen Qian and Shen Jiayan sat on the soft couch, Mama Zheng and Zhu'er and others were waiting, Shen Qian couldn't help frowning when he saw that his sister only had two people serving, and he also had a little complaint about his stepmother's father, and wanted to ask his stepmother if he treated his sister well, but he couldn't bear to say it when he saw that his sister was ignorant of the world, so he had to think about finding a time to ask Mama Zheng about his sister's situation in Beijing next time. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say again: "Ah Yan, I'll send a few maids over to serve you." ”
"No need," Shen Jiayan didn't understand the brain circuit of this new brother, and replied in surprise: "I have a maid." ”
Shen Qian touched Shen Jiayan's head sadly, and the soft hair showed the cuteness of the girl even more, "Whose young lady is not a few maids, you just came back and didn't have time to buy it, my brother will give you one first, okay?" Shen Qian asked softly.
Shen Jiayan, who was touched and killed by a beautiful man and coaxed by gentle words, had long been unable to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and only had the share that should be. Shen Qian nodded with satisfaction, whispered a few words to the chief attendant beside him, and called a maid in, the maid was dressed in a pale yellow dress, thirteen or fourteen years old, with long eyebrows and clear eyes, and knelt on the ground respectfully. Shen Jiayan was still slightly unaccustomed to this set of kneeling rules, and twisted his body in embarrassment.
Shen Qian thought that she was too young to ask by herself, so she smiled and said, "This is the girl who used to tidy up the study in my yard, called Baizhu." After a pause, he saw Shen Jiayan's suddenly bright eyes and continued: "If you don't like this name, change it yourself." ”
Shen Jiayan asked curiously: "Does that brother still have a girl called Poria cocos, ginseng, or licorice?" ”
"You've guessed it." Shen Qian responded with a smile.
Shen Jiayan hurriedly sat down and looked up at Shen Qian, and muttered: "Four gentlemen soup, I must know that I told you that I read the medical book, and I really didn't lie." ”
This unconvinced look amused Shen Qian, and he responded with a smile: "Yes, our Ah Yan is the best." ”
Shen Jiayan rolled his eyes in his heart, and the tone of this coaxing child obviously didn't believe it. After chatting a few more words, seeing that it was not early, Shen Qian got up and went back to his yard.
Mama Zheng watched Shen Qian leave with a smile, and when she turned back to face Shen Jiayan, she looked worried again, and was about to say something, but she looked at Bai Shu who was waiting on the side and stopped talking, and only after telling Zhu'er to take Bai Zhu to settle down did she ask Shen Jiayan tentatively: "Miss, do you see the old lady and old lady?" ”
"See, see." Shen Jiayan had been busy for a day, and his stomach was already hungry, so he couldn't answer Mama Zheng's question impatiently, but said coquettishly: "Mama, do you have anything to eat, I'm dying of hunger." ”
"Why is the young lady open her mouth and close her mouth to die and live," Mama Zheng was extremely resistant to the coquettish behavior of the older young woman, and persuaded disapprovingly: "This is going to be heard by the old lady and the old lady, but you will be angry." Shen Jiayan's good mood was also lost by such a stir, so he had to touch his nose in embarrassment and think: Probably they don't have to say anything now, they are angry enough to look at themselves.
Mama Zheng is still chattering here, "If the old lady loves Miss, then Miss won't have to worry about her marriage in the future..." Mama saw that Shen Jiayan didn't eat oil and salt, so she had to shut her mouth and go out to arrange dinner.
After Mama Zheng left, the room fell silent, Shen Jiayan silently leaned on the soft couch, staring at the roof in a daze: Okay, inexplicably crossed, inexplicably disliked, I thought I was here to open up a harem, maybe it was a small role in soy sauce. Thinking of this, Shen Jiayan turned over angrily and kicked the soft couch with his foot, but he didn't expect the soft couch to be very hard, but he couldn't hurt himself. Shen Jiayan was angry and cried, choked and scolded: "What a broken place, you know to toss me, I want to go home." ”
It just so happened that at this time, Mama Zheng and Zhu'er also walked back with food boxes, and before they entered the house, they heard Shen Jiayan's crying, and thought that something had happened and hurriedly rushed in, and saw Shen Jiayan sitting cross-legged on the soft couch alone and crying bitterly. At this time, Mama Zheng didn't have the heart to investigate the problem of the young lady's sitting posture, so as soon as she put the food box on the table, she walked quickly to Shen Jiayan's side and asked softly: "Miss, what made you sad." ”
Shen Jiayan was angry, and even complained to Mama Zheng, snorted and turned her head to say angrily: "It's okay, I'm hungry and crying." ”
As soon as these words came out, Shen Jiayan and Mama Zheng were stunned, only Zhu'er, a single-brained treasure, hurriedly held the food box in front of Shen Jiayan, and said positively: "Miss, Miss, I brought you delicious food, don't cry, if you don't eat delicious pearls in the future, you will leave them to you." Shen Jiayan was quite embarrassed when he said that sentence just now, and he suddenly felt that he had become a childish begging child, and when he heard Zhu'er's such loyal and funny words, he was happy again, and he cried and laughed, and his face was directly pasted into a little flower cat.
"Miss, it's all my fault that I failed to take care of you." Obviously, this joy did not infect Mama Zheng, who was caught in self-blame. Looking at Mama Zheng's expression of "it's all fault", Shen Jiayan also realized that she was in trouble again, so she had to comfort Mama Zheng: "Mama, don't blame yourself, what I just said was angry." ”
Mama Zheng didn't appreciate it, "As Miss's mama, I didn't take good care of Miss, and I made Miss cry hungry and begged Miss to punish her." Mama Zheng immediately knelt on the ground, and almost wrote the four big words "willing to be punished" on her face.
"I didn't cry just now because I was hungry," Shen Jiayan, who heard the words hungry and cry, pursed his lips in embarrassment, and had to tell the truth: "I'm homesick." ”
