Chapter 9: Guarding against Thieves

That night, Shen Jinxi returned to the outer courtyard very late, and he didn't even come to ask Shen Wenshan and the Su family to say goodbye, but only sent a small servant over to say goodbye.

It is said that the old lady is taking the test to teach his homework, and it is not good to make the old lady angry. Before dawn on the second day, he was grabbed by Shen Yue and carried to the Ten Thousand Cavalry Camp.

Su Shi and Liu talked about the sky, and the heart that was still hanging was also relaxed. Since Fang Shuangshuang entered the mansion, the Liu family has watched Shen Jinhua closely, for fear of being looked at by her.

Old Mrs. Shen didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, she always loved to keep Shen Jinhua and Shen Jinmao's two brothers, and stayed in her courtyard to eat, and there was no way for the Liu family to directly send the two brothers to the academy. On weekdays, when I have some free time, I detain the brothers to study.

Hearing this, the Su clan was relieved, Shen Jinxi was taken to the barracks by Shen Yue, and the Fang clan couldn't hit him with any ideas. With the old man to protect him, he will have nothing to do, the army in the capital is just ten thousand horsemen defending the imperial city, and there is nothing important except for drills and patrols on weekdays.

Shen Yuxiao sat aside and listened, only thinking that it was funny, Su Shi's worries were afraid that they were superfluous, and with Fang's attitude in the past few days, she was afraid that the second room would not be able to enter her eyes at all. Of course, she just thought about it, but didn't say it.

For a few days, every day except for the morning and dusk, Shen Yuxiao was in the Fanglin Courtyard, and the mandarin ducks were stared at by the Shuihua faction, and they couldn't go anywhere except to do embroidery work in the house. Fortunately, Fang didn't mention it again after giving it to people, so no one cared about her detaining people.

When it was the mandarin duck himself, when he was just detained, he was still tossing and trying to deliver a letter to Songheyuan. But Tianhua looked at it, how could she succeed, for two or three days, she couldn't stop tossing outside.

Later, when Shen Yuxiao was about to go to Songhe Courtyard to ask for peace, she avoided Tianhua's care, ran to Shen Yuxiao's house and knelt on the ground, begging her to go with her to ask Fang for peace.

Tianhua chased after him and taught him a lesson: "Go and say hello to the old lady, what kind of identity are you when you are, a slave holding up the master's shelf, why should you go." There are only two big girls who can follow the young lady in and out of this whole courtyard, even if you come out of Songhe Courtyard, there is no place for you to stand in this Hong Lim Courtyard. Don't think that Miss let you take Mama's share, you really think of yourself as Mama, Mama is a daughter-in-law, and you don't look at your identity, even if Madame matches you with someone as Mama one day, whether you can follow Miss depends on the grace of the master. Don't ignore the severity of your eyes, and disturb the young lady in vain. ”

The mandarin duck was red-faced and red-eared, and then Tianhua picked two spicy and powerful mother-in-law from Yuezhou, and didn't do anything every day, just watched in the room.

I have nothing to do with it, and then I will go to the ear to meet my life, the two mothers-in-law were originally only third-class mothers-in-law, but they were immediately promoted to the second class after being selected by Tianhua, and they don't have to work, and they are still grateful to Tianhua. Seeing that Tianhua hated the mandarin duck so much, and the young lady agreed to take care of her, the two mothers-in-law naturally worked harder, and they couldn't wait for the mandarin duck to go to the clean room with her.

Su Shi saw that Shen Yuxiao handled it properly, so he didn't ask.

Because they entered Beijing in February, according to the rules of the Shen Mansion in Beijing, they are about to send spring shirts.

The second room came back suddenly, so naturally I didn't prepare in advance, after all, the size of the second room is not available elsewhere. So waiting for the arrangement here, the Liu family personally came to Fanglin Courtyard to talk about the spring shirt.

Su Shi thought that Shen Yuxiao was also older and should be exposed to more such things, so he didn't let her avoid it. only asked Cuizhu to fetch the size and hand it to Liu's side, so he chatted with Liu, which was nothing more than the personnel of Jingli.

The two of them chatted, and then talked about Miss Cousin, the Liu family had suffered the loss of Aunt Gu, and remembered that the Fang family had just stuffed a maid into the second room a few days ago, and couldn't help but tell the Su family to keep a snack.

Shen Yuxiao listened to the more she chatted, the more she felt a little uncomfortable, so she got up and said goodbye and went back to her east courtyard, sat on the collapse in front of the window, and asked the maid to take the book and read it.

For female red embroidery, she has never liked it, and she can barely take it, and she usually doesn't bother to do it if she doesn't stare at it, so she prefers to read.

The subset of classics and history has a strategy, and I prefer books such as wild history travelogues on weekdays.

The book had just turned two pages, and an oiled paper bag suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

Because there was no one in Fanglin Courtyard on weekdays, Shui Hua, who was waiting next to her, was also sent away by her, Shen Yuxiao couldn't help but raise her head and looked at Shen Jinxi standing at the door.

The oiled paper bag in Shen Yuxiao's arms was naturally thrown by Shen Jinxi, and it was still hot at the moment.

Seeing this, Shen Yuxiao couldn't help laughing, shaking the oil paper bag and smiling at Shen Jinxi: "Brother, is this delicious?" ”

"It is said to be a very famous hibiscus lily cake in the capital, and it is no different for me to eat it." After all, Shen Jinxi didn't often do this kind of thing, and his face was slightly uncomfortable.

Shen Yuxiao knew it, so she only said softly: "What my brother bought, it is sweet." ”

Looking at Shen Jinxi even more uncomfortable, Shen Yuxiao didn't joke with him, and handed the paper bag to Shui Hua who just came in: "Divide it into two parts, take the plate and put it, and when the eldest aunt left and sent it to my mother, I said that my brother sent it, and I didn't go in when I saw that there were guests." ”

"Yes." Shui Hua took it and retreated.

Shen Yuxiao looked at Shen Jinxi, who sat straight at the table and poured a cup of tea and drank it herself: "I heard that my brother was taken to the barracks by my grandfather." ”

"Hmm." Shen Jinxi sighed and replied.

"Why did my grandfather come back today?"

Hearing this, Shen Jinxi's face was slightly ugly: "No." ”

"What about you?" Thinking of something, Shen Yuxiao put aside the book in her hand and whispered, "Brother shouldn't have run back, right?" ”

After speaking, looking at Shen Jinxi's handsome face, he blushed slightly: "Sure enough." ”

Shui Hua and Tianhua just came in and heard this, and even looked at Shen Jinxi differently.

Shen Jinxi didn't seem to want Shen Yuxiao to dwell on this issue, so he put the sandalwood box that had been hidden with his sleeves on the table.

Shen Yuxiao also knew that Shen Jinxi didn't want to talk anymore, so she followed him and looked at the box. It was a sandalwood box, carved with the pattern of entwined branches, the box was not small, seven or eight inches long, three inches wide, so much like the girl's house to put jewelry beads.

Shen Yuxiao pondered how to speak so as not to hurt Shen Jinxi's self-esteem.

But Tianhua couldn't hold back: "Young master, isn't this the girl's jewelry box?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Shui Hua glared at her fiercely, and Tianhua was shocked to realize that he was too talkative. Sure enough, Shen Jinxi's normal face was a little uncomfortable, and he didn't pay attention to Tianhua, and only said to Shen Yuxiao: "I don't look at the things in that Linglong Fang, and they say that it is the same as the sky." "My sister naturally wanted the best, but he didn't say it.

Hearing Shen Jinxi say this, Shen Yuxiao suddenly remembered that on the day she came back, Shen Yufang took apart the things she gave to her sisters, and said that they couldn't be compared with the things in Jingli Linglong Fang.

Shen Jinxi was also in the house at the time, so he naturally heard it, but he didn't think he was still thinking about it. In her previous life, she knew that her brother had always loved her, but unfortunately it was too late, and now she found out that her brother loved her so much, and even people remembered her for several days. At the moment, his eyes were slightly red, and he was afraid that Shen Jinxi would see it, so he asked Shui Hua to bring the box over.

Shui Hua held the box and handed it to Shen Yuxiao, and Shen Jinxi kept staring at her, with a look of opening it all the time. It is as if a child who has done a good deed expects to be known and praised by an adult.

Shen Yuxiao stretched out her hand and called the box, and couldn't help but be surprised, a box full of beads and flowers, the flowers were exquisite, not at all like what Shen Jinxi said.

Shen Yuxiao picked up one casually, in the style of a golden hibiscus, with seven jade beads in the heart of the flower, and a golden pearl in the middle. Just looking at the exquisite workmanship, I am afraid that I will get a lot of money, so I can't help but ask curiously: "You asked your mother for money?" ”

Hearing this, Shen Jinxi raised his eyebrows, obviously it was only February, but he opened a folding fan and pretended to be elegant: "The master also needs human favors, how can there be less mundane things such as silver money at hand." ”

Shen Yuxiao couldn't help laughing when she heard this, but she still didn't get away from him: "Could it be that my father gave it?" ”

"Grandfather gave it."
