Shen He's skin is very white, and when he doesn't speak or move, he looks like a young man. In particular, recently, in order to please Xu Qirong, Shen He made a look of love for learning, wearing a scholar's favorite green shirt, with a slender body, and going out to walk around Yangzhou City, he can gain the hearts of many daughters in his boudoir.

The maids watched Shen He standing quietly in front of the porch, ** softly sprinkled on his face, as if coated with a layer of gods, and couldn't help but quietly blush.

Xu Qirong and Shen Yaru Shen Yahui walked over and saw such a scene.

Xu Qirong said in his heart, looking at the blue sky with white eyes, as bright as a jade tree in front of the wind, it is no wonder that the whole family prefers the second cousin.

Before he could retract his thoughts, he saw Shen He shouting loudly while welcoming him: "Sister Rong, I heard that you are going back?" ”

The twelve or thirteen-year-old boy is in the period of voice change, and the sound made by the male duck's throat is really not the slightest beauty. What's more, Shen He walked a little bit out of character, and he was very rude in his gestures.

As soon as this movement was opened, the beautiful picture just now was like a sudden storm, and there was no beauty left.

Xu Qirong looked at the maids who were still blushing just now, and sure enough, the eyes of admiration had been replaced by disgusted eyes.

After thinking about it, Shen He had already arrived, and Shen Yahui pointed at Shen He and said, "Second brother, Sister Rong is leaving tomorrow, you are not allowed to talk nonsense to make Sister Rong unhappy!" Otherwise, I will go to the ancestor to sue you! ”

"When did I upset my sister? Shen Yahui, don't spew blood! Shen He ignored Shen Yahui, turned his head to Xu Qirong and said, "Sister Rong, you go and tell my father, can you take me to the capital with you?" ”

Xu Qirong was taken aback: "What are you doing in the capital?" ”

Shen He said proudly: "I have inquired clearly, there is a Yunlin Academy in the capital, which is the best academy in the entire Xinchen Kingdom. I'm going to study there, and after three and five years, I will definitely be able to get a top prize and come back to play! ”

Xu Qirong was surprised: "Second uncle asked you to go to Yunlin Academy to study?" ”

Shen Yahui's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "If the second brother asked the second brother to go to that Yunlin Academy to study, how could the second brother come and ask Sister Rong to tell the second uncle!" ”

Shen He glared at Shen Yahui fiercely: "You know how to demolish your second brother's platform!" ”

Shen Yaru said worriedly: "The capital is so far away, the second uncle will definitely not worry about the second brother." Second brother, don't make trouble! ”

Xu Qirong couldn't cry or laugh: "Anyway, I don't care, the second brother wants to go, and the second brother himself says to go!" ”

Where Shen He is willing, he will continue to pester Xu Qirong. Xu Qirong hurriedly flashed, avoided Shen He, and pulled Shen Yahui and Shen Yaru to run to find Old Lady Shen.

Shen Yahui was not afraid of offending Shen He, so she opened her mouth and told Mrs. Shen about Shen He's plan. When Shen He followed up, he heard Shen Yahui's complaint, and he was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, but he was helpless.

After hearing this, Old Lady Shen didn't open her mouth to reproach Shen He, but asked with a smile: "Brother He, do you really want to study?" ”

Shen He's eyes rolled and he nodded hurriedly.

Old Madam Shen nodded, and asked again, "Do you have to go to Yunlin Academy to take the top prize?" ”

Shen He glanced at Xu Qirong and continued to nod.

Old Mrs. Shen smiled with wrinkles on her face, and was so relieved that she stroked her palms and said, "Since you like it, grandmother can't delay you." Remember what you said today, and you won't regret it when the time comes. ”

Shen He's eyes lit up, and he rushed forward to beat Mrs. Shen's legs: "The old ancestor didn't coax me to play, right?" Can I really go to Beijing with Sister Rong? ”

Shen Yahui listened on the side, anxious, and hurriedly said: "I also want to go to Beijing with Sister Rong!" ”

Shen Yaru pursed her lips on the side and followed: "Ancestor, Ru'er...... Ru'er also wanted to go. ”

Old Lady Shen glanced at the three brothers and sisters, and said, "Your sister Rong is going back to walk your aunt in the dojo, what are you doing with it?" ”

Shen He pouted: "But grandmother, you just said ......"

"Reading is reading." Old Mrs. Shen hurriedly interrupted, and then said to Xu Qirong, "Sister Rong is leaving, I don't know when I will see you again." After dinner tonight, Sister Rong will sleep with me! The things have their own maids and wives to clean up. ”

Xu Qirong hurriedly agreed.

Suddenly, I heard a crisp sound of the brown crystal hanging in front of the curtain outside, followed by the voice of the maid greeting him, and then I heard the maid who opened the curtain and said, "The third lady is here!" ”

Shen Yahui hurriedly stood up and said happily: "My mother is here!" ”

Then I saw the third wife, Chen, walking in, followed by two nurses, one holding a small baby, officially Shen Bin and Shen Li.

Before the change, Mrs. Shen would definitely have brought her two grandsons to her side, but today she hugged Xu Qirong and saw the two grandsons, and she didn't even ask.

Chen didn't care either, and said with a smile: "I just went to the Frost Pu Courtyard, and I learned that Sister Rong is here with the ancestor. ”

Then he turned his head to Xu Qirong and said, "You are leaving, and the third aunt is also very reluctant, but I can't keep you forever." I prepared some small things for you and Sister Jin, and I thought that the third aunt loved you. The things had just been sent to the Frost Pu Courtyard, and Miss Yu Qiu had put them away. ”

Xu Qirong hurriedly stood up and blessed Chen: "Qirong thank the third aunt, the third aunt has a heart." ”

Chen shook his head: "It's not a good thing, if you don't like it, don't tell the third aunt, maybe next time the third aunt will find something you like and give it to you." ”

Xu Qirong said with a smile: "What the third aunt gave, Qirong and my sister both like very much. ”

Xu Qirong is well-behaved and sensible, and he speaks intimately, and he has not blushed with Shen Yahui since he came to Shen's house. Therefore, Chen still likes Xu Qirong very much, and now hearing her say this, his heart is even more ironing.

As soon as he was happy, Chen turned his head and instructed the maid: "Ice lotus, there is a set of pearl flowers in my treasury with gilt dotted emerald inlaid with southern pearls and double butterflies playing with broken branch lotus, you go to find it and send it to Shuangpu Courtyard." Then he said to Xu Qirong, "This set of beads is made vividly, your fourth cousin behaves rudely, I am reluctant to spoil her, you take it back, it will be used in a few years!" ”

Before Xu Qirong could speak, he heard Mrs. Shen smile and said: "Sister Rong, thank you for your third uncle, I know the pearl flower, although the Nanzhu on it is precious and can be bought with money, but the craftsmanship of that little emerald is a master's family heirloom in Yangzhou City." The old master had no children and no daughters, and he did not have any apprentices. A few years ago, the old master was blind, and if he wanted to buy some cuizhu flowers he made, he couldn't afford to spend more. ”

When Xu Qirong heard this, he was startled, and hurriedly said: "Then don't give it to me, let's give it to the fourth cousin!" ”

Shen Yahui has a lot of flowers and silk flowers, so she doesn't care about this, and quipped: "Didn't you listen to my mother, I'm afraid I'll spoil me." ”

Xu Qirong choked, and Chen smiled: "I naturally have something else for your fourth cousin." I'm an aunt, can't I give my niece a set of beads? ”

Xu Qirong nodded hurriedly and thanked him.

After a while, the eldest lady and the eldest grandmother came together. Seeing that Chen was there, the eldest lady smiled and said, "The third brother and sister are fast!" ”

Chen smiled: "I am alone, naturally faster than the two of you." He said to Xu Qirong again, "Look, your eldest aunt also sent you a body." ”

Mrs. Shen joked: "Sister Rong, thank you for your aunt and cousin!" ”

Xu Qirong saw that everyone was happy, so he really stood up and saluted and thanked the He family and the Jin family.

He said: "You know, I am the poorest. Sister Rong wants to go back, and the eldest aunt has nothing else to give, so she has to prepare a box of beads for one of your sisters, and go back to inlay beads and flowers. ”

As he spoke, the silver bowl that followed behind He really took out two sandalwood boxes.

Shen He instigated on the side: "Sister Rong, you open it and take a look, if the beads are not good, let's let the eldest aunt change them!" ”

Xu Qirong glared at Shen He, and before he could speak, he saw He Shi signal Yinzhan to open a box, and said, "Although this bead is not good, it is still okay to make bead flowers." When the eldest aunt gets a good one, let someone send it to Sister Rong's house. ”

Xu Qirong glanced at the box, and was speechless, full of two boxes of malachite beads, and the eldest aunt was embarrassed to say that she was poor!

Jin also smiled and asked the maid to pick up two boxes, and said, "Naturally, I can't compare to my mother, so I only have two boxes of pearls, Sister Rong will take them back and reward them!" ”

Xu Qirong's heart fluttered, the Shen family is rich or rich! Hurriedly thanked He and Jin again.

Then I heard someone outside: "You are all here, and so is my sister-in-law, and you don't call me when you come!" ”

He said with a smile: "You have made thousands of choices in the treasury, for fear that you will not compare me with my third brother and sister, how can I call you?" ”

Then I saw the second wife, Liu, come in with the maid.

Old Lady Shen smiled and said, "What good things did you give Sister Rong?" ”

Liu said proudly: "What I sent is better than my sister-in-law and younger siblings!" ”

Everyone looked behind Liu, and Shen He opened his mouth and said, "Mother, what about things?" Did you send it to the Frost Pu Temple? ”

"What's the hurry," Liu Shi sold enough of Guan Zi, before he stepped forward to take Xu Qirong's hand, took out a large stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and stuffed it into her, and said, "Although you are a boudoir lady who doesn't have much money to spend, you also have your own moon silver." But there is never too much silver. If something happens, it is not a big deal if it can be solved with silver. As he spoke, he took out a large stack from the other sleeve, "This stack is for your sister." ”

The Shen family is not short of money, and the silver tickets are all stacked.

The silver tickets were all in the denomination of one hundred taels, and a stack of about five thousand taels looked like, Xu Qirong was so moved that he didn't know what to do.

The old lady Shen was interested, and said, "The Liu family thought of going with me!" Ruizhu, go and bring the silver tickets I prepared for Sister Rong and Sister Jin! ”
