[Chapter 003] Entrustment
Shen Youqing glanced at the hairpin on the table, the color was bright, like clotted fat, and the tail end was the appearance of Ruyi Ganoderma lucidum.
It's a men's accessory that anyone can tell at a glance.
Shen Youqing sighed in her heart, she shouldn't have been soft-hearted at that time, but now it's good that she got into trouble......
"If you see that man, you should know that he is seriously injured." Shen Youqing regretted it in her heart, and the words she said for a while also brought her own feelings.
"Then why didn't the young lady take him to the infirmary?"
"How do I get him? Carry him or hold him? Do you think there will be no gossip when you send it to the hospital? Shen Youqing's tone was cold, and he asked three questions in a row.
Yuxi was dumbfounded for a while, and said with a red face: "Then he shouldn't be placed in the lady's boudoir." ”
This is indeed inappropriate, there are only two rooms in the backyard, one is the kitchen, and the other is Shen Youqing's boudoir, she didn't expect that there was a chance for a man to enter the room, even though he came in lying down.
She stood up, her gaze parallel to Yuxi's, her tone still cold.
"I answer your question, not because what you say is for me to explain, but because I do not want anything to add to the words that have reached Madame's ears; Yuxi, I have always liked your straightforward, upright and lively character, but if you are like now, it is not called hearty, but lacking heart. ”
Seeing Yuxi's pout, the corners of Shen Youqing's mouth curved.
"Is the man awake?"
Shen Youqing asked casually, then walked around the jade tree, walked to the shelf, opened a drawer, and took out a piece of incense from it.
Yuxi was angry, if it wasn't for Chu Jiu to stop her, she would have thrown her head away a long time ago, but now she could only answer Shen Youqing's question: "Not yet, just vaguely shouting some messy things." ”
"What did you shout?" Shen Youqing continued to ask.
"I don't know!"
Hearing that Yuxi was so angry that she was going to die, Shen Youqing didn't intend to let her go: "Then go listen to it and copy down the words he reads for me." ”
Chu Jiu came out to relieve the siege: "My subordinates are willing to go." ”
Shen Youqing looked at the red-faced Yuxi, a smile appeared in the corner of her eyes, and she nodded, she didn't have this plan in the first place, she just felt that she was in a good mood to vent occasionally.
"Yuxi, this incense has a calming effect, take it and give it a try." Shen Youqing handed the incense to her, and her eyes were extremely sincere.
“……”
Yuxi's brain was flexible, and she naturally heard Shen Youqing's teasing, but she couldn't get angry, so she had to go on.
Not to mention the rest, there is someone around her, she doesn't have to do it herself, Shen Youqing still thinks it's good.
Yuxi's craftsmanship is good, and she only uses simple raw materials to make all kinds of dim sum, not the kind that is sweet and greasy, light and sweet, and even Shen Youqing, who doesn't like sweets, praised a few words.
Shen Youqing took a plate of snacks and went to Aunt Lian's house, and took a wooden box under the plate.
"Niuniu, I brought her some snacks."
Aunt Lian was drying her clothes, and the washed clothes were on the bamboo poles, and they were already frozen. Niuniu is shy and introverted in front of outsiders, but she is a very naughty ghost at home, and when she is four or five years old, she is a fun-loving person, and she often soils her clothes, and Aunt Lian has to change her often.
Seeing Shen Youqing come in, Aunt Lian looked quite embarrassed, shook the water in her hand, and greeted her: "Young lady, why do you send snacks again?" The girl I got back the day before yesterday hasn't finished eating yet. ”
Shen Youqing smiled lightly at the little girl hiding behind the door, turned back to Aunt Lian and said, "That is too sweet, just treat it as a snack, this taste is lighter, just give it to Niuniu as breakfast, Niuniu, don't you say?" ”
"Thank you...... Thank you, Sister Shen. ”
The little girl looked at her timidly and thanked her in a weak voice.
Shen Youqing sat in front of the hall, waiting for Aunt Lian to clean up and enter the house, she had already made her own decisions and drank a pot of tea, Aunt Lian smiled, "Young lady, you can always think of my Niuniu if you have anything delicious, but when you come to our house, there is only this tea......"
"The tea is very good, and it is not worse than Pu'er Longjing." Shen Youqing smiled slightly and took another sip.
Aunt Lian lowered her shoulders and smiled, "It's nothing good, it's just that I added some osmanthus flowers with lotus leaves in midsummer...... Young lady, if you like it, I'll give you some. ”
As he spoke, he got up, and really wanted to get it, Shen Youqing stopped her and pulled her to sit down: "Aunt Lian, don't be busy yet, I came today to talk to you about something." ”
"Say it." Aunt Lian didn't insist anymore, and sat down to look at Shen Youqing.
"Perhaps, I'll be leaving in a few days." Shen Youqing lowered her eyes, she couldn't ignore the reluctance in her heart.
"So fast?" Aunt Lian was a little excited, she knew that Shen Youqing would leave sooner or later, but she didn't expect that there were some signs just a few days ago, and it was already confirmed today.
"Aunt Lian, I want to ask you for one thing." Shen Youqing opened the wooden box and pushed it in front of Aunt Lian.
"You don't have to ask me, if there is anything, I will definitely help if I can." Aunt Lian said magnificently, when she said this, she looked completely righteous, but when she saw the contents of the box, she immediately felt a little confused.
"Young lady, what is this ......?"
"This is the deed and account book of Huarong Hall, I will ask you to help take care of it after I leave."
Aunt Lian was taken aback, and then hurriedly refused: "I can't, I ...... I'm a woman's family, young lady, I'm different from you, I only know so many words, if you give it to me, Huarongtang will be ruined......"
Shen Youqing grabbed her hand and looked firm, "Aunt Lian, you are older than me, I have always treated you as my own sister, I won't tell you, I am not the daughter of an ordinary family, I don't care about the profit of this shop, I just thought that I may not have a chance to come back in the future, and this shop can't sell for much money, it's better to leave it to you, it doesn't matter if you make a lot of money or not, at least you don't have to go to other people's laundry and cooking, Niuniu can also read, isn't that good?" ”
"But—"
"Aunt Lian, even if you don't want it, I don't plan to sell the shop, just let it be left there."
I have to say that Shen Youqing's sentence "Niuniu can also read" touched Aunt Lian's heart, although girls from ordinary families rarely read, but she met Shen Youqing, who is knowledgeable and reasonable, and also feels that it is not absolutely correct that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented; If her Niuniu also reads, she will definitely be able to find a talented scholar who is also a reader in the future.
"Don't you think about Niuniu's future?"
"Niuniu also called me sister, and it was a gift from me to her."
Speaking of which, Aunt Lian didn't know what to say, Shen Youqing taught her inside and out, no matter how big or small, she didn't leave until noon......
Back at Huarong Hall, the Yuxi brothers and sisters appeared at the door again.
They lived in the inn opposite Huarong Hall, and if there was any movement here, they could rush over immediately.
Shen Youqing rubbed her eyebrows with a headache, pushed open the door of the shop, she has also been monitored by Yuxi these days and lived in Aunt Lian's house, Yuxi thought very simply, that is, she couldn't let her get too close to a strange man.
Actually, Shen Youqing wanted to remind her: Since you don't want me to stay with a man, why don't you transport him to the inn......
It's just that she doesn't want to have that mouth anymore.
"Fourth Miss is going out?"
Shen Youqing didn't answer Chu Jiu's words, bypassed a few cases, and took out an incense burner, not in the shape of a lotus leaf a few days ago, but a copper phoenix, with clear feathers, long wings to fly, and a clear golden color, revealing a bit of extravagance, and even vulgarity.
A piece of incense is lit, the aroma is very strong, the first smell is bland and slightly sweet, and the aftertaste is mellow after a long time.
"I'm going to Yizhuang."
"Yizhuang?"
"Yes." Shen Youqing glanced in the direction of the backyard and said meticulously: "He probably can't be saved." ”
Shen Youqing's words made Chu Jiu feel inexplicably ridiculous, and he was deeply saddened by his wife, if it was other ladies, they might not know what Yizhuang was, but the fourth lady of his family......
"Miss, the man is awake." Yuxi's voice came from the backyard.
Shen Youqing walked to the backyard, but stopped at the door, and said to Chu Jiu, who came in, "You carry that person on your back and send it to the hospital." ”
Chu Jiu did not hesitate, pushed open the door and entered.
Shen Youqing sat in the shop, and waited until Chu Jiu and Yuxi helped the man out, she said: "Yuxi, you have worked hard in the past two days, after sending this person to the hospital, we will leave for Beijing and come back to pack up our things." ”
Shen Youqing's faint tone, which had nothing to do with herself, made Yuxi angry, but she couldn't say anything, she could only walk forward without squinting.
When the three of them walked out of the door, Shen Youqing subconsciously glanced at it, as if he had a heart in his heart, the man turned his head, weak and weak, but his eyes were slightly open, and the place of his gaze was Shen Youqing.
The hair fell down and almost covered the entire face, but only those eyes were exposed, which looked directly at Shen Youqing's eyes hanging down with a weak heart......
