Chapter 143: Who's Afraid
Shen Nanzhu frowned, but Mengbao pushed him away with a smile and said to the outside world, "Let him in." ”
Mulberry walked in with a little sluggishness, holding a letter in his hand.
Mengbao looked at his feet and couldn't help but laugh.
A mass of white furry stuff was sticking to his leg crookedly, and the four paws held his leg and refused to let go, as if it would follow him wherever he went.
"Why does Diu Di like you so much?"
Meng Bao laughed.
Because Mulberry had raised Xiaoha, Mengbao felt that he had experience in taking care of animals, so he handed it over to him.
I didn't expect that Didiu really had a relationship with Sangzi, but he was taken to raise it for a few days, and he was so happy that he didn't want to go back to Mengbao at all.
Mulberry was a little embarrassed, his face was slightly red, but he didn't know how to answer this question.
Shen Nanzhu looked at the white young man in front of him, then at the dispossession on his lap with a flattering face, and stretched out his hand to call, "Come." ”
Diu Diu shuddered, and his round black eyes looked at Sang Zi pitifully.
Sangzi looked at Mengbao, and when he saw that she didn't mean to stop her, his left foot shook slightly, and he was thrown off.
It snorted aggrievedly, and when it saw that no one paid attention to it, it wagged its tail and put on a servile look towards Shen Nanzhu.
Mengbao held her forehead on the side, she had felt that Shen Nanzhu stretched out her hand to her and said "come", which was very similar to greeting some kitten and puppy, but now she actually saw the live version!
He doesn't just treat himself like a kitten or a puppy on weekdays, right? Mengbao secretly rolled her eyes.
"Is it my father's letter?"
She no longer looked at the person and dog pulling Zhenghuan beside her, and looked up to Sangzi and asked.
Mulberry nodded. The letter was handed to her.
Mengbao opened the envelope, and after a few glances, his expression was a little dull, and gradually softened, with a shallow smile on his lips.
Sang Zi saw that she had finished reading the letter, so she handed over a few more pieces of paper and said, "This was sent with the letter, and it should be handed over to Miss by the Marquis of Zhenyuan." ”
Mengbao knew that it was a silver ticket, nodded and smiled and took it, but when he saw the amount of the silver ticket, he almost threw it to the ground with a shake.
"Twenty thousand taels?"
Make no mistake!
Shen Nanzhu glanced at it lightly when he heard this, and his fingers continued to scratch his chin. Didn't speak.
"This was all sent with the letter?"
Mengbao asked incredulously.
Mulberry snorted: "Yes." Isn't the number wrong? ”
Wrong?
She doesn't know if she's right......
Marquis Zhenyuan only said in the letter that he knew that she had arrived in the capital, and the capital was extremely prosperous and the prices were extremely high, so she did not bring the dowry over. So I'm afraid that her life will not be good. And he sent some silver. Let her use it for herself, but who knows that this gift is 20,000 taels?
"It should ...... That's right......"
Mengbao said with some trembling.
"That...... It's okay, Sangzi, you go out first. ”
Sang Zi nodded and retreated.
With a snort, he jumped up from Shen Nanzhu's knee and was about to chase him out. But he was firmly pressed under the palm by a big hand, and the four paws fluttered wildly for a while, and finally resigned himself to pulling down his head and no longer moving.
As soon as Sang Zi left, Mengbao grabbed Shen Nanzhu's arm violently.
"Ah Zhu, you send someone to help me check privately, does my father have a ...... Is there a ......?"
She couldn't say the word greedy ink, on the one hand, she felt that the Marquis of Zhenyuan would not be like this, and on the other hand, she felt that this silver was really a little strange.
The Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion is just a third-rate family in Bei'an City, although it has the title of the Marquis Mansion, but in fact, many people do not take it seriously.
Because of Mrs. Su, the Marquis of Zhenyuan has always been unhappy in the officialdom, and several promotions have been delayed, and there may be no hope of taking a step forward in this life.
How could he suddenly come up with so much money so lavishly?
It is still possible to say that this is the silver in the public school, but the Marquis of Zhenyuan clearly said in the letter that this is his private silver, and no one knows about it, so she can use it with confidence.
How can she be reassured by this?
Shen Nanzhu stroked his chin and said, "If he gives it to you, you can just keep it, don't think about it." ”
"How can you not think about it, he's my father!"
Mengbao said urgently.
Shen Nanzhu raised his eyebrows, and the meaning on his face couldn't be clearer.
That's Su Mengbao's father, not hers.
Mengbao was slightly stunned, and after being silent for a long time, he said again: "He has always been very good to me, both before and now. ”
Whether it was Su Mengbao's arrogance and willfulness in the past, or the current Mengbao's troubles, the Marquis of Zhenyuan never scolded him.
Even if he knew what happened in the Dingnan Hou Mansion some time ago, and knew that she was almost abandoned by the Dingnan Hou Mansion, he always stood by her side, reassuring her, saying that the affairs at home had been handled for her, and no one would dare to stop her from returning to the house in the future.
He even apologized to her, apologized for not discovering Su Zhou's and Su Mengwan's plan in time, and apologized for causing her to go to Beijing alone.
This father may have some problems with his daughter's education methods, but his intentions are definitely good.
He is the person who loves Su Mengbao the most in the world, regards Su Mengbao as the pearl in his palm, and wants to give Su Mengbao the best qiē.
Meng Bao really couldn't imagine what kind of grief he would have if he knew that his real daughter was actually gone.
When she thought of this, she thought of her parents, who must have been grief-stricken in that world......
Shen Nanzhu saw that her eyes were a little red, and after a little thought, she knew that she must have thought of her real parents, and hurriedly stretched out a hand to hold her.
"I said the wrong thing, Bao'er, don't be upset."
Mengbao's tears had already been secretly shed in the quilt for countless nights, and he adjusted after being a little sad at this time.
"It's okay, okay...... I have someone to be filial to. ”
She can still be filial to Zhenyuanhou as her biological father here, and her parents may have really lost their precious daughter forever. There is no one to kneel down anymore......
Shen Nanzhu was afraid that she would become more and more sad if she continued to think about it, so she hurriedly diverted the topic.
"You can use these silver tickets with confidence, my father-in-law is capable of more than you know. He is just suffering from the restlessness of the house and being dragged down, so he will always stagnate in the officialdom. ”
"He actually has some private property in private, all of which he takes care of by himself, and some of them also have some dealings with our Dingnanhou Mansion, so I know more clearly. Don't say it's 20,000 taels, it shouldn't be difficult for him to give you another 40,000 or 50,000 taels. ”
Mengbao opened his mouth wide in surprise: "My father is so rich?" ”
"Well, even if you don't do anything, it won't be a problem for him to keep you clothed and fed for the rest of your life."
"Then I'm not a rich second generation?"
Meng Bao laughed.
Rich second generation?
Shen Nanzhu raised his eyebrows.
This girl has been popping up with words he hasn't heard before. However, you can guess the approximate meaning by guessing more or less.
"It's not just your dad who is rich. You're also very rich. ”
He pinched her nose and said, "So, you don't actually have to open any shops, just be your wife of Dingnan Hou Shizi at home." ”
"How's that going to work! What if you really wait for me to have a baby in the future and take a concubine? When the time comes, it will be like a beautiful flower, sinking fish and geese, only hearing the newcomer laughing and not seeing the old crying. I'm struggling to buy clothes and jewelry, and I have to look at your face. How aggrieved! ”
Shen Nanzhu supported his forehead. Again lamented that he had dug a pit and pit himself.
The woman next to her didn't finish speaking, and continued: "It's different when you have money, you really dare to take a concubine when the time comes." I'll shut up the yard and live alone! Just like in Jingxin Yuan before, what do I love to do behind closed doors, you and your beautiful concubine will go as much as you like, I don't bother to take care of you, from now on I only teach my son, not a husband, who loves each other and who goes! ”
Shen Nanzhu's brows furrowed slightly, and the movements on his hands stagnated slightly: "Didn't you just say that opening a shop to make money is to help me share the burden so as not to drag me back?" ”
Why did you turn your face and turn it into a person who closed the door and ignored him?
"You are good to me, I have earned money, of course I have to share it for you, you are not good to me, I am still in a hurry to use the money I earn to supplement your chewing, so that you can raise a concubine? I'm not stupid! ”
Meng Bao stretched out his hand to tease Dio as he spoke, not noticing the coercion coming from the man next to him.
"At this time, shouldn't you take out the identity of the lady of the main room to suppress the concubine? Shouldn't you be angry and jealous and try to win back your husband's heart? ”
Save?
Mengbao frowned, and the tone of the original joke was not consciously serious.
"You've taken all the concubines, what am I going to do to get you back? I said a long time ago that there is no more than the life of three wives and four concubines, and if you know that you still accept concubines like this, it means that you don't take my words to heart, even if I drive one away, you will still accept the second and third. ”
"Life is just a few decades, I let myself be happy, but I fight with your concubines all day long, just in exchange for your little pitiful favor, is it worth it?"
"Shen Nanzhu, you know that I am different from ordinary women, they will not be able to live without their husbands, I ......"
Shen Nanzhu's hand on her shoulder suddenly tightened: "You mean that with me or not, it's the same for you?" I'm not important to you at all? ”
Mengbao felt a pain in his shoulder, and he couldn't help but be a little angry.
"Am I scared or are you scared? You know I didn't mean that...... Hmmm......"
Angry kisses swept in, and the pain in his shoulders became more and more painful, and there were bursts of pain between his lips and teeth.
His lips were bitten like a punitive bite, every inch of his mouth was encroached upon, and his breath was taken away in a moment.
Mengbao wanted to shout in pain, but his mouth was blocked and he couldn't make a sound at all.
Feeling like she was about to suffocate, she bit his tongue hard to get him to let go.
Shen Nanzhu refused to retreat as if he was obsessed, but kissed harder and harder.
