Chapter 072: Appeasement
The two walked all the way, and Mengbao suddenly found that this was not the direction to go outside the mansion, but to Jingxin Garden.
"How did you get here?"
She asked, coming back to her senses.
The old lady asked her to send Shen Nanzhu to the second gate, which was obviously not in the right direction.
Shen Nanzhu looked sideways at her: "I'll send you back." ”
"No, I ......"
A big hand reached over and grabbed her, and said again without question: "I'll send you back." ”
Mengbao subconsciously wanted to pull his hand out, but he couldn't break free.
The location of Jingxinyuan and Shoufangyuan was already remote, and there were no people on this path, and the subordinates behind them consciously slowed down their pace when they saw this scene, and followed far behind.
The wide sleeves covered the hands of the two of them, and although it was not obvious to outsiders, Mengbao could clearly feel the heat coming from the palm.
Shen Nanzhu held her tightly and took her hand back to Jingxin Garden.
Doctor Zhang has been invited over and carefully showed Que'er the wounds on his face.
"The injury on this girl's face is fine, the old man can prescribe some ointment and apply it well, but this tooth is ......"
He sighed, shook his head and didn't continue, turning around and prescribing his medicine.
The people in the house understood what she meant, Xi'er bowed her head and wiped her tears on the side, Que'er looked at her and Mengbao, and endured the pain and slurred comfort: "It's okay, only one tooth has been lost, and the slave maid still has many teeth, and she can eat a lot of delicious food." ”
Xi'er, who was crying, burst out laughing, and poked her shoulder with red eyes: "I still want to eat at this time!" ”
The corners of Que'er's mouth grinned, and she hissed in pain, but she asked Mengbao while covering her mouth: "The young lady won't give the slave and maid delicious food because the slave and maid are missing a tooth, right?" The slave and maid have lost a lot. ”
Meng Bao knew that she was deliberately amusing herself, and smiled. said: "Don't worry, no one's delicious food will be indispensable to you!" But in the past two days, you have to avoid your mouth, eat some soft food, and wait for the few teeth next to you to not loosen before eating anything else. ”
Que'er nodded: "Well, the slave maid knows, young lady, go back to the room quickly, where is the house where you should stay with your status." ”
Meng Bao was also afraid that staying here any longer would cause her to keep talking. He turned around and asked Dr. Zhang some things that need attention. I told Xi'er a few more words and asked her to take care of Que'er, and then went back to the main room.
Shen Nanzhu was waiting for her in the inner room. When I saw her come back, I asked how it was.
She cheered up and answered them one by one, but the fatigue on her face could not be erased.
Shen Nanzhu looked at her like this, and an uncomfortable feeling surged in her heart, as if she had just heard Old Madam Su humiliate her. It's like seeing her standing in the corner and secretly wiping her tears.
He stepped forward, his arms outstretched awkwardly. He gently hugged her in his arms and patted her shoulder: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
He knew that she was really angry in Shoufangyuan just now, which was different from the anger when she faced that Su Mengwan yesterday. It's really, genuinely, and I'm angry from the bottom of my heart.
Her anger was so obvious on her face, but she was facing her grandmother. couldn't vent it smoothly, so he could only grit his teeth and clench his fists to salute Mrs. Nasu. Use such a roundabout way to vent your anger on your girl.
But even this can't dispel the anger in her heart, she is still a little angry, he can see it, he knows everything, but he doesn't know how to soothe, how to make her comfortable, so he can only gently hold her in his arms like this, and he is worried that his hug will make her uncomfortable.
Mengbao was very resistant to physical contact with him, but the soft sentence "It's okay" made her nose sour, and she almost couldn't help crying again.
"I'm fine, you can go quickly, it's been a long delay." She said in his arms.
Shen Nanzhu hugged her carefully, and found that her body was not as stiff as the previous few times, and the voice that spoke was muffled as if she was holding back tears, which made him even more reluctant to let go, but hugged her tighter: "Cry, it's okay." ”
The man in his arms did not speak, but his shoulders gradually trembled.
The helplessness of coming to this world, the panic in the face of emergencies, and the self-blame and guilt that involved others being hurt all erupted at this moment.
Mengbao bit her lip to prevent herself from making a sound, but tears poured out uncontrollably, wetting Shen Nanzhu's clothes.
Shen Nanzhu felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, frowned and rubbed her green hair, and suddenly remembered something, and suddenly helped her up from her arms.
The woman in front of her really bit her lip tightly, and her pink lip flap almost oozing blood.
He stretched out his hand and stroked it in distress: "Cry out, Mengbao, cry out." ”
Meng Bao shook his head vigorously, biting his lip tightly.
Shen Nanzhu was so anxious that she couldn't do it, but she didn't know what to do, so she could only hold her face like this and gently wipe the tears that kept pouring out of her.
Mengbao only cried for a while before stopping, pushed his hand away, wiped away the tears on his face, and said with red eyes: "I'm fine, you go quickly, don't delay the business." ”
The voice that had just cried was still a little choked, Shen Nanzhu only felt distressed, and couldn't help but reach out to hug her: "I can also leave a few days later, Ren ......"
"No, no," Mengbao hurriedly shook his head: "I'm really fine, you go and do your work, it's all decided to go back and change your mind temporarily, Shangguan will be unhappy if he finds out." ”
Her head shook like a wave, and she reached out and pushed him out.
Shen Nanzhu couldn't cry or laugh again, sighed and hugged her tightly: "Then you wait for me at home, I'll ...... I'll come back to see you as often as I can in the future. ”
As soon as the words fell, he felt that the body in his arms suddenly stiffened.
He got up a little inexplicably and glanced at her, but saw that she looked like she was about to cry again.
"What's wrong?" He asked, puzzled.
Mengbao's face was even more ugly than just now: "No, it's good that you're busy, I'...... I'm fine on my own. ”
He smiled and stroked her face: "Don't worry, I won't delay business." ”
In fact, he has a break every month, but he feels that there is nothing to do when he rests, so he simply does not take a break.
If you really want to rest, it's not impossible to come back once in three or five months. It's just that he doesn't think it's any different if he can't come back, and it's too troublesome to go back and forth on the road, so he usually doesn't come back.
But now, looking at the face in front of him, he suddenly felt that it was good to come back to see it from time to time.
The soft touch from his hand made him trance-like again, and the hand on her cheek gently rubbed her lips, and lowered his head to move closer.
Warm breath spray on the face. Mengbao subconsciously wanted to step back. The big hand around her waist was firmly shackled around her.
Seeing her lips meet, she turned her head in a panic, and the kiss fell on her fair cheek.
Shen Nanzhu was a little disappointed in his heart. But he didn't look for the soft lips anymore, and let go of her with a gentle kiss on the cheek.
"Then I'm leaving."
Mengbao nodded: "Well, I'll let the red note send you." ”
"No, there is Aman."
Mengbao is polite and polite. Seeing him say this, he didn't force it, but just said, "Then you should be careful on the road."
Shen Nanzhu turned around and walked out. He stopped again when he was about to leave the door.
"Mengbao, you are the young lady in this house, do whatever you want, don't let yourself be wronged."
Mengbao was stunned. Only then did he nod again, and hummed: "Got it, don't worry." I'm really fine. ”
Only then did he raise his feet and go out again, and left with Aman.
Mengbao looked at his departing back. The frown did not let go for a long time.
Will he come back often? So what are you going to do......
What to do......
………………………………
When Mrs. Su was driven out of the Dingnan Hou Mansion, the water pavilion on the Yuxi Pond was lively.
The girls' crisp laughter came, and the cheerful and cheerful atmosphere made everyone passing by here couldn't help but want to look up and look twice, but for fear of disturbing the nobles, they only glanced at it and hurriedly left.
"Sister Yuchen's words were not so good-looking in the past, but now they have grown so far. Tell me quickly, did you get some new calligraphy from somewhere, or did you find a new Xixi? Let's also learn to get a dip, as soon as we go home, we will be told by my father and mother how not to be as good as you, and my ears are calloused! ”
"That's it, there are so many of us here, Sister Yuchen, you can't hide your secrets!"
The other female voice also echoed coquettishly, and the tone of the two of them seemed to be very familiar with Miss Eleventh Shen Yuchen.
Shen Yuchen smiled and glanced at them: "Can't I just practice hard to make progress?" According to you, it seems that I am used to being the ** opportunistic person. ”
The girl who spoke at the beginning smiled crisply and said: "I don't know you yet, the most is the ** stealing and slippery, these piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs are not touched, but they always learn better than us, I don't know how long I have been annoyed by this!" I finally pressed you a little bit on calligraphy and painting, but now you are so progressive! My dad and mother know about it, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to give me extra classes again! That's all your fault! ”
Shen Yuchen giggled: "This can also be blamed on me, I am really wronged." But I really got a new copybook, which was obtained by chance when my eighth sister went out, but she was not a ** learner, so she gave it to me, and if you want to use it, go to me to borrow it, one by one. ”
Only then did everyone laugh and divert the topic.
"Speaking of your eighth sister, I heard that she made a good snack, have you learned from her, so you can show your hand in front of us."
Someone laughed and joked again.
Shen Yuchen immediately frowned when he heard this, and looked distressed: "I really want to learn, the eighth sister also kindly taught me, but her snacks are too troublesome to make, I put them down before I even finished learning, which is even more annoying than those qin, chess, calligraphy and paintings." ”
Speaking of this, his voice changed again: "But I know that you are greedy, so I have asked her to make some and send them over yesterday, and I think it will be delivered immediately." ”
As soon as the words fell, a little maid came over, but her face was sad.
"Hello young ladies."
Cui Ping stepped forward to salute everyone respectfully.
Shen Yuchen looked at her empty hands and frowned: "What?" Isn't the eighth sister too busy to take care of making snacks? (To be continued)
