Chapter 161: Favoritism

"Ah Zhu, why do I always feel that something is wrong with Mulan?"

Mengbao said as he twisted his hair with a handkerchief.

Wrong?

Shen Nanzhu was slightly silent, put down the scroll in her hand, walked over and took the handkerchief in her hand, and wiped her carefully.

"What's wrong?"

He asked softly.

Mengbao sighed: "I can't say it very well, how can I say it...... For example, when she chose those pictures today, I think she obviously prefers those little rabbits and kittens or something, but in the end, she chose the tiger like Mu Li. ”

"She said she liked that too, but her eyes kept staring at something else."

"If she wants to rob Mu Li, but I have already promised them to choose one by one, is it completely unnecessary to do so."

The movements of Shen Nanzhu's hands stopped, and his eyes drooped.

This little girl usually looks very aggressive, but her mind is delicate but her eyes are like torches.

"Maybe I'm used to it." He said.

"Habit?"

"Well, she and Mu Li are twins after all, since she was a child, what she has and what Mu Li has, and now suddenly Mu Li has something she doesn't have, and her heart ...... Maybe it's not very comfortable. ”

Is that so?

Because then you have to give up what you really like?

Mengbao didn't understand.

"Then I'll go back and make her a kitten or something."

She thought for a moment and said.

Shen Nanzhu raised his eyebrows: "But in this way, isn't she one more than Mu Li?" Are you not afraid that Mu Li will be unhappy and say that you are partial to her? ”

"He's a boy, so what do you care?"

Meng Bao pouted.

"But she's a sister. Shouldn't my sister let my brother go? It stands to reason that even if there is more, it should be more brothers, right? ”

"What sister and brother, Mulan was born a stick of incense earlier than him, to put it bluntly, the two of them are the same age."

Shen Nanzhu smiled and pinched her cheeks: "In the final analysis, you still like girls in your heart, so you favor Mulan." ”

"yes, I just like girls, how about it? In the future, when we have children, I will also favor my daughter! You are not allowed to be patriarchal! ”

She said with her head tilted, as if she was being willful.

Shen Nanzhu's eyes burned, and he threw away the handkerchief in his hand and lowered his head to seal her lips.

"Okay," he said after a long time, leaving her delicate lips a little, and his voice was a little hoarse, "when we have a daughter." We spoil her together. Give her the best clothes and jewelry. The most comfortable and spacious yard, ask the best gentleman to teach her to read and write, and choose a good husband for her in the future to ensure that she has a safe, healthy and smooth life. She is the happiest woman in the world. ”

The man in his arms giggled. The eyes are shining. There is a faint flush on the cheeks and a faint sheen on the lips.

"That's right! You must find a good husband, at least as good as you! ”

Shen Nanzhu frowned. He seemed to be embarrassed: "Then this is not easy to do, after all, there are not many people as good as me." ”

"Haha......"

These words really caused the person in his arms to tremble slightly, and he laughed wildly.

He leaned over and pressed her lips closer, "Isn't it?" ”

As he spoke, he gently pressed her down on the bed, affectionately kissing, and gently entangled.

Wheezing slightly on the bed, Shen Nanzhu kissed her forehead, cheeks, lips, slender and white neck, round and lovely ears, and her big hands lingered on her undulating beauty from time to time, but she never went further, just hugged her like this, kissed her, like caring for some treasure.

When the two of them gradually calmed down, Mengbao lay beside him and looked at his side face, a sweet smile on the corner of his lips.

She has not rejected his closeness recently, and the two have not lived in separate rooms anymore, but have slept together every night.

But Shen Nanzhu didn't touch her for some reason, he only hugged her and kissed her when he couldn't help it, and occasionally touched her through his clothes like just now, but he didn't make any moves beyond this step.

She could feel his forbearance and attachment, and she could feel his reluctance to let go of her every time, but she didn't know why he stopped every time.

I was a little puzzled in my heart, but I felt inexplicably sweet, this feeling of being cared for by others, bit by bit, wrapped her once uneasy heart, making her feel safe and happy.

A big hand suddenly covered her eyes, and a low and hoarse voice sounded in her ears again: "Don't look at it, or ......"

Otherwise, he would really have to take it anymore.

Meng Bao giggled again, pulled his hand down to his ear, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Nanzhu didn't take her little hand and put it on her lips to kiss her until she heard the sound of even breathing next to her and confirmed that she was asleep.

…………………………

"This ...... Is it also for us? ”

Mulan Muli looked at the two pendants in front of him and asked.

The two pendants are of different shapes, a kitten and a goshawk.

Mulan looked at the small pendant that was only half the size of her thumb, the kitten embroidered with white brocade was cute and cute, and the two extremely small glass beads were embellished into lifelike pupils, shining in the daylight, as if alive.

Under the pendant, there is a white jade bead that is not very valuable but has a good color, as well as a dark green tassel of moderate length, which makes the whole pendant look cute and elegant, and it will not look naΓ―ve and very smart and lively when hung on the body.

Her eyes were fixed on the pendant for a long time, and her expression seemed to be struggling.

On the other side, Mu Li was much calmer, the goshawk pendant was wooden, although it was also very delicate, but it was not like his wooden tiger that could open its mouth and move its limbs, so although he liked it, it was not as obvious as Mulan.

"Do you like it?"

Meng Bao asked with a smile.

Naturally, both of them nodded in response.

"This is a sample to make to practice, see that your table is not bad yesterday, and you can copy the account book without errors the second time. So these are given to you as a reward, pick your own. ”

Although she originally only planned to give it to Mulan, in order to avoid Mu Li's imbalance in her heart, she finally asked people to make two, but the shapes were different and the materials were different.

Mu Li is a boy, so he naturally snatched the goshawk away.

Mulan seemed to want to take the goshawk pendant as well, but she was one step slower than him, so she retreated and took the kitten.

Mengbao's face was silent, but he was smiling secretly in his heart.

This little girl. Why is it so awkward. It's obvious that he likes that kitten, but he wants to make a look that he can't grab it.

"Okay," Mengbao took out a few slips after dividing the small gifts: "This is the account to be registered today, and it is the same as yesterday's rules." You guys finished writing and checked each other. There must not be a single error. ”

"Is there a reward for that?"

Both children asked at the same time.

Mengbao rolled his eyes: "I haven't heard that there are rewards for workmanship every day." And your father said you were here to do the day job! Do you know what it means to be a day worker? It's just that there is not even a salary, let alone a reward! ”

"Besides, yesterday I re-copied all the old accounts. Today is just yesterday's content, and you still want a reward for doing such a little work? I open a shop, not a good hall! ”

Mulan Muli pursed her lips, but she didn't argue, and sat down on their chairs to keep accounts.

"But," said Monempo after they had sat down, "when the month's work is over, perhaps I will consider giving you some reward." ”

"The parrot?"

Both of them turned their heads at the same time, their faces full of excitement.

"You're beautiful!"

Mengbao replied unceremoniously.

"I haven't figured out what the reward will be, I'll talk about it then, but it won't be the parrot!"

After she finished speaking, she put on her hat and walked out without looking back, and the two little ones pouted again, turned their heads and continued to keep accounts.

Mulan looked down at the small pendant hanging from her waist, and a happy smile tugged at the corner of her lips.

She subconsciously glanced back at the woman who was about to step out of the door, her eyes flickering slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Hey!"

Mu Li pestled her arm with the tip of a pen: "Don't think about going to my sister in private to go through the back door, she won't pay attention to you." ”

Mulan glared: "I'm your sister!" ”

"Huh," Mu Li glanced at her disdainfully, "where do you look like a sister?" My sister is like a sister! ”

The sister in the back is naturally Mengbao.

"No matter how much she resembles, it's not your sister! I'm your sister! ”

The two disagreed and almost fought, but the little maid who was still standing by coughed and reminded them that Mrs. Shizi would come back to check the account books later, and then they settled down again and kept their own accounts.

…………………………

Emperor Dezhao listened to the secret guard's reply, and his eyebrows and eyes softened a little on weekdays.

"What kind of pendant does Lan'er like very much?"

The secret guard nodded: "Yes, Princess Huiming is the most quick-eyed on weekdays, there is no reason why she can't rob His Highness Fourteen, even if she can't grab it, she will definitely make a big noise to take it over afterwards." But today, she deliberately slowed down, and then she didn't mean to exchange with His Highness the Fourteenth, so it can be seen that she did it intentionally, and she originally liked that. ”

Emperor Dezhao nodded: "Then let Mrs. Dingnan Hou Shizi give her a few more, ask how much silver she has, and allocate it to her from my private treasury." ”

The secret guard laughed, how much silver can a few small pendants cost, where can they use the private treasury, to put it bluntly, His Majesty does not want to take the opportunity to "bribe and bribe" Mrs. Hou Shizi of Dingnan, so that she can treat Princess Huiming well.

He stood there silently, smiling and silent, neither refuting nor responding.

"What? Isn't she still selling? ”

Emperor Dezhao frowned and said, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

The secret guard did not answer this question, but said: "Dingnan Hou Shizi said that the pendant Lady Shizi originally only planned to make one for Princess Huiming, not for His Royal Highness the Fourteenth, but later he was afraid that the two would compare, so he made one for each of them." ”

"And then there'...... Mrs. Shizi is extremely strict with the protection of drawings and samples, and it is forbidden to circulate a single star before the opening. ”

The two things seem to have nothing to do with each other, but Emperor Dezhao understands it.

This means that this is already a special case this time, so he doesn't have to make an inch!

He flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly.

Old Puff tune. Good apprentice of the teaching! A good daughter-in-law for a good apprentice! It's really not a family that doesn't enter the door!

"Lan'er and Ah Li......"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the princess and Her Royal Highness are very good, better than ever, better than ever."

The Dark Guard affirmed it again and again.

Emperor Dezhao looked at the outside of the hall silently, and said for a long time: "That's good." (To be continued......)
