Chapter 23: Self-Assertiveness

Shu Manyao squinted her eyes and looked up at Shu Manjin standing in front of her, with a smile of expectation and prayer on her face, which made people unbearable when they saw it. Look at Wang Shumin and Li Yingying again, Wang Shumin looked at Shu Manjin, with a little worry in her eyes, Li Yingying looked at this, looked at that, and hesitated: "This, I'm not good at this, I'm afraid I can't do it well, it's better to ......"

Before she finished speaking, the girl of the Zuo family kept Li Yingying's arm and said with a smile: "Sister, don't be polite to me, I'm young, and I'm not good at these things, I just ask my sister to stay by my side and give me a little guidance." ”

After a pause, the girl of the Zuo family looked embarrassed: "Actually, mainly because the two girls of the Chen family will also come over today, and I am really not familiar with the two girls of the Chen family, so I want to ask Sister Li for help." ”

The Li family and the Chen family are in-laws, and Li Yingying is very familiar with the girls of the Chen family. When the girl of the Zuo family said this, Li Yingying would not object. Wang Shumin said with a smile: "With Sister Li helping you, I ......"

The girl of the Zuo family hurriedly said: "Sister Wang, I really can't miss you, Sister Li and I also went outside to greet the guests, the sisters and sisters in this room, but please ask Sister Wang to take care of it, Sister Wang, you can't just leave me like this." ”

Saying that, he also gave Wang Shumin a salute, Shu Manyao smiled and patted Wang Shumin's hand: "Sister Wang, the younger sister of the Zuo family has said this, if you don't agree, it will seem unkind, the people in this room are looking forward to Sister Wang, Sister Wang should stay." ”

blinked, revealing a mischievous look: "Sister Wang, you don't have to accompany me, the Zuo family's banquet today is very grand, presumably the maids in the garden have also arranged haode early, if there is anything that can't go, or if there is something to find someone, the Zuo family must have arranged it very thoroughly." Besides, my sister is also very familiar with the courtyard of the Zuo family, even if she is lost, she will definitely not be lost to someone else's garden. ”

Shu Manyao looked sideways at Shu Manjin: "Second sister, did you say yes?" ”

Shu Manjin smiled and nodded, then sighed and made a troubled look: "Oh, Sister Wang is so good to the big sister, I'm a little jealous." However, I thought about it for a long time, and I didn't know whose vinegar to eat, which was really sad. ”

The funny Wang Shumin and Li Yingying couldn't help laughing, and even the girl from the Zuo family, who was lost face by Shu Manyao, couldn't help but smile.

Shu Manjin held Shu Manyao's hand, only from behind, the two of them were really close, Shu Manjin also pointed out the courtyard of Shu Manyao's house from time to time: "There is a Chunbo Pavilion over there, surrounded by water on three sides, and in summer, the lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, which is really a beautiful scenery." ”

Shu Manyao nodded casually, occasionally smiled and asked a few words, after all, it was in an outsider's house, and the mother-in-law and maids around here were also from the Zuo family.

"Oops!" Shu Manjin was saying that he was happy, and suddenly exclaimed, Shu Manyao hurriedly turned around, and saw Shu Manjin looking down at his feet, his face was flushed, and the hand holding Shu Manyao was also put down, carrying the skirt with both hands, and under his feet, there was a small puddle.

Shu Manjin didn't know how to walk, she stepped on the puddle, the muddy water inside stained half of her skirt, the mud spots on it made her very embarrassed, and her shoes were even more soaked.

"What can I do, my skirt is dirty." Shu Manjin raised his head, with tears in his eyes, half of which couldn't be dropped, really pitiful.

Shu Manyao frowned slightly, and helped Shu Manjin to the side: "Wait, I asked someone to get embroidered shoes and a cloak, you sit here, take off the wet shoes first, and wrap your feet in a cloak." ”

Fortunately, there was a small pavilion next to it, and the two of them went in, Shu Manyao motioned to Shu Manjin to sit diagonally, and then dragged Shu Manjin to the ground with the cloak she pulled over and put it under her feet: "Don't hesitate, girls can't freeze their legs and feet, this is the back house of the Zuo family, no one will see it, if you don't worry, just ask the maid to guard outside." ”

Because Shu Manjin said that she had something to say to Shu Manyao, the big maids of the two people followed behind, and when they saw that the two girls had entered the pavilion, they also hurried over.

Mo Zhu, the big girl beside Shu Manjin, nodded hurriedly and responded: "Girl, don't worry, the slave maid is guarding here, and she will definitely not let people in easily." ”

Shu Manjin looked at Shu Manyao, then at Mo Zhu, and bowed slightly: "Okay, you are guarding outside." He looked at Shu Manjin with some embarrassment: "Then it's bothering the big sister." ”

Shu Manyao didn't make a sound, and turned her head to look at Xia Xi: "You went and called the little maid over there, asked her to find the third girl, and asked the third girl to send someone to call the little maid next to the second girl." ”

Shu Manjin hesitated a little: "Big sister, let's let Xia Xi run, it's a little too troublesome to pass the word like this......"

Shu Manyao glanced at her, and Xia Xi hurriedly replied for Shu Manyao: "Second girl, it's not troublesome, the old lady specially told her before going out, so that the slave maid can't leave the eldest girl's side, and the eldest girl has never been to the Zuo family, and the slave maid is guarding here, and she can also help Miss Mozhu a little." ”

Without waiting for Shu Manjin to speak, he hurriedly went outside to find the little maid to pass the word.

Shu Manjin pouted, and said a little unhappily: "Big sister, look at Xia Xi, it seems that I am with my big sister, she is very uneasy, worried that I will hurt the big sister, just the two of us come out together, if something happens to the big sister, is it possible that I will be able to get out of the relationship?" ”

Shu Manyao smiled and shook his head: "Don't take it to heart, Xia Xi was also frightened by the events of some time ago, the big girl next to me, I haven't made up enough four at this time, and Xia Xi is also scared." ”

The old lady drove away most of the people around Shu Manyao at once, and Xia Xi was spared, and she would be afraid. Shu Manyao's explanation was reasonable, and although Shu Manjin was unhappy, she didn't say anything anymore.

After a while, Shu Manjin suddenly shuddered, and then reached out to hug his shoulder.

Shu Manyao raised her eyebrows slightly: "What's the matter, it's cold?" ”

Shu Manjin nodded a little embarrassedly: "There is a little cold ...... on his feet"

The wet socks were not taken off, the cold air rose from under his feet, and he was sitting on a stone bench, and it was not warm for a long time, Shu Manjin's face was a little pale. Shu Manyao raised her eyebrows slightly, in order to embarrass herself, Shu Manjin was so ruthless that she could even ruin her own body?

If you don't give Shu Manjin a cloak, then you will inevitably have a reputation as an unfriendly sister. But if he gave the cloak to Shu Manjin and froze it for a while, I was afraid that my body would not have a good reputation, right?

And the maids, they can't wear cloaks.

By the way, Shu Manjin is only eleven years old now, even if his feet are frozen in ice water for an hour, he can recuperate for three or five years. What's more, now it's just a foot in the muddy water, even if the socks are soaked, and the outer layer of a fur cloak is still wrapped.

"Wait." Shu Manyao raised her eyebrows slightly, got up, motioned for Shu Manjin to get up too, and then pulled her cloak up. Although Shu Manjin looked puzzled, he still got up obediently.

Shu Manyao folded the cloak, half of it was placed on it as a cushion, and half of it was wrapped around Shu Manjin's feet as usual. Then, he sat down next to Shu Manjin, pulled his cloak, and wrapped Shu Manjin as well: "If two people are next to each other, it won't be so cold." ”

Shu Manyao said with a smile, Shu Manjin was stunned, and then smiled: "It's still the big sister who has a way, I'm too stupid, I didn't even think of it." The big sister is really warm. ”

Shu Manyao smiled, not that Shu Manjin was too stupid, but that Shu Manjin felt that he had seen through people's hearts.

Whether it is Shu Manyao, who has changed his temperament, or Shu Manyao, who has the same personality as before, I am afraid that he will not snuggle closely with Shu Manjin. The former must think that the Xu family and Shu Manjin sisters are bad people, and they wish that their mother and daughter would die of illness, and they don't even bother to say anything on weekdays, how could they suddenly become intimate with her? The latter, it's too late to even hide, that's even more impossible.

Shu Manjin never thought that Shu Manyao would compromise so quickly.

Even a mother shouted out, but it was just a body close, how could it not be done? Shu Manyao looked sideways at Shu Manjin, the current calculation seems to be a bit too simple, and he hasn't grown up yet.

Moreover, this matter should be Shu Manjin's own idea, if it is Xu's, where would Shu Manyao deal with it so simply?

However, if you don't grow up, you can have this kind of thought, and when you grow up, I'm afraid it's another Xu, right?

"Big sister, don't you like me and my third sister?" After being silent for a while, Shu Manjin suddenly spoke, Shu Manyao smiled and shook his head: "How come, you think too much, I just don't like to talk to people very much." ”

"Really?" Shu Manjin showed some joy on his face, and then he was a little disappointed: "However, the big sister doesn't like to go out to play with me and the third sister, every time I miss the big sister, I can only go to the big sister by myself." ”

"I'm more worried that you and my third sister don't like me." Shu Manyao yawned: "Okay, don't talk, this is the Zuo family, the matter between our sisters, let's talk about it when we go back to our own house." Are you still cold? ”

Shu Manjin hurriedly shook his head: "It's not cold, big sister, you still have a way." After dinner later, we may listen to the drama at Zuo's house, big sister, what kind of drama do you like to listen to? ”

"I don't like to hear that." Shu Manyao shook her head, that kind of babbling thing, in her previous life, she still liked it very much, but in this life, she didn't like it.

The two sisters talked without a match, and soon waited for help. Shu Manyao raised her eyebrows slightly, it was really a deep sisterhood, Shu Manyu actually came over in person.
