96. Chapter 96
"Little daughter-in-law, great, so you're here!" A figure suddenly appeared on the other side of the verandah, running quickly towards them.
Shen Mofeng saw that she hadn't returned to the courtyard too late, so he came to look for her, Ye Xiyan touched her nose embarrassedly, got up and said, "Sister-in-law, I should go back, you should go back early, don't let ......" She originally wanted to say don't let the eldest brother worry, but suddenly realized that it was inappropriate to say that, so she hurriedly changed her words, "Don't let Si Qi worry." β
Yun Luo didn't seem to realize her embarrassment, smiled gently, gently pushed her arm, and quipped, "Go quickly, if you don't leave, the second brother should be in a hurry." β
While speaking, Shen Mofeng had already arrived in front of them, he touched the sweat on his forehead, his face was filled with a happy smile, and he took her hand, "Little daughter-in-law, go back with me, I have a gift for you!" β
Ye Xiyan turned his head awkwardly and said goodbye to Yun Luo, Yun Luo waved his hand funny, and watched the backs of the two disappear at the end of the verandah, the faint smile on his face was slowly replaced by sharpness and coldness, and with a force of both hands, the silk scarf pinched in his hand made a crisp tearing sound in the silent night, and then drifted away with the wind.
To be honest, Ye Xiyan was not interested in Shen Mofeng's gift at all.
She received a total of three gifts from him, one was an ugly-looking little cricket, which disappeared inexplicably after two days of feeding, and finally found its dried corpse on the steps of the yard, for which Shen Mofeng was sad for a long time, or she patiently persuaded to do it.
The second time was a begonia with dew, but unfortunately, Ye Xiyan's body was actually allergic to begonias, rubbing his nose and sneezing for a whole day.
The third time was when he was shopping, he gave her a delicate vase, this time Ye Xiyan liked it very much, but before he walked ten meters with the vase, he was stopped by two big men who reached out to ask for debts. It turned out that Shen Mofeng's guy didn't pay!
Coupled with the fact that he was in a bad mood at this time, Ye Xiyan really didn't expect his gift.
Let him drag him to the bedroom, and let him press the chair and sit down, Ye Xiyan lay on the table, looking at Shen Mofeng with an excited face, he looked like "Ask me quickly, ask me what the gift is", she couldn't bear to discourage his enthusiasm, and asked with a strong spirit, "Xiaofeng, what kind of gift is it?" β
Shen Mofeng happily jumped up from his chair, "You wait, I'll be back soon!" After saying that, he ran out of the house.
In just a minute, he came back with a painting, handed it to her like a treasure, and said a little shyly, "Little daughter-in-law, look at it." β
Ye Xiyan took the painting curiously, opened it carefully, and a beautiful and warm picture unfolded in front of her eyes.
The painting shows a clear river, with colorful peach blossoms and green grass by the river, and a few pink peach blossoms floating on the mirror-like water. At the foot of the peach tree, a petite and beautiful woman leaned on the shoulder of a handsome man and fell asleep, the woman's delicate face still had a quiet smile on it, while the man looked at the woman in his arms with affection, his eyes were down, Ye Xiyan also noticed that their ten fingers were tightly clasped, as if they were going to hold on to the end of the world.
"Little daughter-in-law, is it good-looking? It's you, it's me! Shen Mofeng excitedly pointed to the characters in the painting, and added proudly at the end, "This is what I painted, it's very similar!" β
After he said this, Ye Xiyan felt that the woman in the painting was indeed somewhat similar to herself, and the man's face was also similar to Shen Mofeng, but without that cute and innocent demeanor, she didn't believe that he could paint such a lifelike portrait. deliberately raised his eyebrows, pointed to the man's face, and laughed at him, "Bragging and not drafting, when did you have this kind of expression?" If you don't have it, how can you draw it? β
Shen Mofeng patted his head angrily, "It's all to blame on the third brother, I said I can't paint like this, he wants to paint like this!" β
"Oh-" Ye Xiyan dragged out his voice thoughtfully, and looked at him with a strange expression, "It's obviously painted by the third brother, and he lied to me that he painted it himself, someone is not well-behaved!" β
"No, no!" Shen Mofeng was so anxious that he hurriedly pointed to her, "Here, here, I painted it, only my face was painted by the third brother, he said that the expression I drew was wrong, and he wanted to help me modify it!" He pouted and looked at her pitifully, "Little daughter-in-law, I really didn't lie, you believe me!" β
"Did you really draw it?" Ye Xiyan was taken aback, and was busy lying on the painting to study it carefully, and really felt that the man's face was a little different from the surrounding painting style, and hugged his arm excitedly at the moment, "Xiaofeng, do you remember something?" When did you start drawing? In addition to drawing, will there be anything else, such as composing poems and lyrics for pairs? β
"Little daughter-in-law, you ask so many questions at once, which one should I answer first?" Shen Mofeng wrinkled his nose in distress.
"Answer slowly one by one!" Ye Xiyan looked at him expectantly, after working hard for so long, he was finally about to recover his memory?
"Okay!" Shen Mofeng obediently counted his fingers, thought about it seriously, and replied, "A few days ago, I went to the third brother to ask for homework, and when I saw him painting, I asked him to teach me, and he taught me very seriously." I painted this picture in two days, isn't that smart? β
"Clever, clever!" Ye Xiyan nodded again and again, it turned out that he had disappeared after lunch in the past two days, and he had gone to learn painting!
"Writing poems and lyricsβ" Shen Mofeng touched his head in embarrassment, "I still don't know, the third brother hasn't taught me yet." β
Ye Xiyan's face was suddenly ugly, he hurriedly raised his hand and swore, "Little daughter-in-law, don't worry, I will study carefully, I will compose poems in two days, and I will write it for you when the time comes!" β
Ye Xiyan looked frustrated, it turned out that he was just learning fast, and he was still 108,000 miles away from recovering his memory. A strange thought suddenly flashed through her mind, what if she regained her memory, he only remembered what happened before he lost his memory, and he couldn't remember what happened after he got sick?
She glanced at the warm picture spread on the table, Ye Xiyan hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke, "Xiaofeng, what if you suddenly can't remember me in the future?" β
"No, I will always remember my little daughter-in-law!" Shen Mofeng clenched his fists firmly, as serious as if he was taking an oath.
"I mean, what if, if you don't remember? Do you hate me and want to drive me away? Ye Xiyan suddenly had a strange feeling, as if the words he said would be fulfilled one day.
"I said no, no!" Shen Mofeng saw that he couldn't convince her, so he suddenly hugged her angrily.
"But what if you really don't remember?" Ye Xiyan muttered, always entangled in this question, did he have someone he liked before? Will you treat her as a stranger after recovering your memory, or even divorce her? The thought that he might forget himself completely, and look at himself like a stranger, made her heart rush for no reason.
"If I really don't remember my little daughter-in-law, you will beat me, scold me, and beat and scold me until I know you!"
His childish answer caused Ye Xiyan to smile slightly, and he couldn't help but quip, "Then you scolded me for being a tigress again, right?" β
"Little daughter-in-law, you are careful, it's been a long time, and you are still nagging about that!" Shen Mofeng pouted and complained.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it!" Ye Xiyan smiled and raised his hand in surrender, but the uneasiness in his heart did not disappear, Xiaofeng, if you recover your memory, please remember me!
In an antique room, a delicate woman in light gauze sat lazily in front of the dressing mirror, looking at the face in the bronze mirror, tilting her head, and gently combing her hair with green silk. There was a knock on the door, and she gently lifted her lips, "Come in." β
Si Qi walked up to Yun Luo and saluted, "County Lord, last night the Second Young Master gave a painting to the Second Young Grandmother?" β
"What about paintings?"
"The painting was locked in the cabinet by the second young grandmother and put away."
The man in the mirror raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "You always know the content of the painting, right?" β
"Listening to Zhu'er, the painting is of a man and a woman sitting under a peach blossom tree, and the people in the painting seem to be the second young master and the second young grandmother."
It's pretty sweet! A sneer tugged at her lips, "Who drew it?" β
"It was painted by the second young master himself!" Si Qi cautiously glanced at the beautiful face in the mirror.
Bang, Yun Luo waved his hands, the gold hairpin jewelry on the dressing table rolled to the ground, and the bronze mirror fell to the ground with a screeching sound. Her beautiful face was distorted to look ugly, "When did he regain his memory?" Why did you not report it? β
Si Qi fell to his knees with a frightened thud, "The county lord is angry, Zhu'er said that he didn't recover his memory, it's just that he learned relatively quickly!" β
Yun Luo took a deep breath, calmed down his anger, waved his hand, and said in a calm tone, "Okay, you go down." Be more careful when meeting with Zhu'er in the future. β
"Yes!" Si Qi touched the cold sweat on his head and hurriedly retreated.
Is it just that you learn faster? I hope so! Yun Luo had a trace of worry on his face, and a trace of hatred suddenly appeared, blaming that woman, if it weren't for her, there wouldn't have been so many accidents. It seems that it's time to make a move!
It is indeed a wise saying in feudal society that mothers rely on their children, especially in families that have been married for two years and have no children. Even if they were unwilling, everyone in the Shen family still looked at the child in Nianqing's belly and reluctantly agreed to her entering the door.
There were no gongs, drums, firecrackers, no banquets, and three days later, Nianqing's sedan chair was quietly carried into the Shen Mansion through the side door. This is the sorrow of the ancient concubine.
At the ceremony of honoring her daughter-in-law's tea, Ye Xiyan noticed that except for Yun Luo and Zhang, everyone present had a solemn expression, but the strange thing was that Ye, who had always been mean, did not say anything sarcastic about Nianqing, she drank the tea without saying a word, and then put her eyes on Yun Luo.
Yun Luo kept a gentle smile, and when he took the tea bowl, he also said a few polite words such as "take care of Xianggong together in the future", and Nian Qing also nodded with a smile, thanking her for her magnanimity and careful care.
