In this way, at least she will live happily in this life, even if it is only for a short period of time, it is good.

"Mother, what do you think?" Shen Jin didn't expect his father to accept his words for a while, and turned to ask Shen's mother, who had been silent beside him.

Shen's mother has always mostly obeyed Shen's father's decision, this time it is related to Shen Nanyan's lifelong event, she thought about it for a long time or decided to look at herself: "Ah Jin, my mother knows that you feel sorry for your sister, but I still have the same idea as your father in this matter, if your sister likes it, your father and I will agree." ”

Shen Jin was helpless, knowing that this matter was in a hurry, and he had to think about it in the long run, and he didn't persuade him much, so he wanted to get up and say goodbye.

"It's going down." Father Shen nodded, and before leaving, he didn't forget to put down a sentence lightly: "You are not allowed to obstruct the affairs of the two of them anymore." ”

It's already blocked, he thought to himself.

After leaving the study, aside from what Shen's father and Shen's mother said, he felt a burst of relief and walked straight to the garden.

Autumn is getting stronger, it's the end of autumn, and it's drizzling and cold in Kyoto these days.

After the drizzle, the weather turns clear and the air is full of fresh air.

The flowers in the garden were blown down by the drizzle, and bits and pieces fell to the ground, and in the corner there was a blue girl squatting to pick up petals.

But she doesn't have the talent like Daiyu, and she can chant "Flowers are flying all over the sky, who is sorry for the red incense?" The gossamer is soft and fluttering, and the flocculent is lightly stained with the embroidery curtain. The good sentence is not a weak willow, the posture of the immortal with the national color and fragrance, and the appearance can only be regarded as cute and smart.

It's just that now, her cute and agile face has no life, and she silently picks up flowers there and sighs.

"What are you doing here?" The young man smiled clearly, and his smile looked shocking under the warm eyes of the first sunny day after the rain, and the frivolity on weekdays was also reduced.

The sudden voice behind her frightened her, and then she reacted slightly stunned, and said angrily: "Don't you walk without sound?" ”

"Who told you to wander here?" Although the relationship has been pierced, the two get along as usual, and Shen Jin never knew what a gentleman's demeanor was, so he naturally pointed out his complaint unceremoniously.

Sighing slightly, she was not in the mood to quarrel with him as usual today, and her expression was a little trance-like.

"What happened? Why are you sad? ”

She has always been a person who can't hide her thoughts, and everything on her mind is written on her face.

"Young master, the lord and the lady seem to know about us." Ah Ci opened his mouth with a slight hesitation, gently clutching his cuffs with both hands, looking at the delicate and handsome side face of the young man years ago, and suddenly said loudly.

Shen Jin looked at Ah Ci nervously and said the reason, and he was greatly relieved, thinking that something had happened to her.

He smiled, picked up her face, looked at her deeply, and said in a rare tone: "It's me who likes you, it's me who wants to marry you, not my father, what if they know?" ”

She really liked him, but she also knew the gap between them, and a touch of sadness crossed her eyes: "But you and I have different identities before, I am just the daughter of a domestic servant." ”

Shen Jinqing said: "Dad has agreed to the matter between us, you have to believe that we can always be together." ”

Hearing his words, Ah Ci bent his clear eyes, crescent-shaped, his face gradually appeared red, and his eyes flickered, like an elf falling into the world.

The autumn night is slightly cool, and the hot springs on the mountain behind Shenfu have already come in handy, and their use has long been arranged on the agenda. However, there is still some distance between Houshang and Shen Mansion, and you can only go to soak in your leisure time during the day, and it is impossible to soak in the hot springs in the middle of the night.

Not to mention that it is easy to get cold when it is more deeply exposed, and it is also tossed when it comes and goes at night, and it is not safe to blind the fire in the black light.

The weather is getting cooler, it is difficult to bathe in the house, the air conditioning is pressing, and it is necessary to let the next person make hot water in advance of the time of a cup of tea. It should also be just at the right time, not too early for the water to be easy to cool, not too late for the water temperature to be unsuitable.

In the evening, the next person has already prepared hot water, and the red cherry has also prepared intimate clothes and fragrance soap.

In the past, whether she was keeping vigil or not, she would show her face in front of her, and occasionally say a few words to relieve her boredom.

Knowing that she is playful, I don't care if she is serious about doing things, but I haven't seen her recently, worried that something has happened to her, Shen Nanyan mentioned by the way: "Why don't you see Ah Ci?" What have you been up to lately? ”

Although there has been gossip in the mansion recently that Ah Ci has climbed the high branch of Shen Jin, and he is going to be a young lady when he turns into a young lady, it is very likely that he will be the head of Shen Mansion in the future, and she has indeed seen Ah Ci and Shen Jin together a few times, but Ah Ci is the person she knows best, simple-minded, innocent, and definitely not that kind of person.

Now Shen Nanyan asked, although Hongying knew Ah Ci's personality, but she would not easily say this matter, since Ah Ci had not come to see Miss recently, she must have her own thoughts, she would not, and it was impossible for Ah Ci to make a decision, and casually told Shen Nanyan about it.

"The slave is not very clear." The Shen Mansion has always been lenient with its subordinates, although it is doing the things of the subordinates, but the moon is twice as high as that of other mansions, and it has not allowed the subordinates to call themselves slaves and maids, but the red cherry blossoms have always been accustomed to the rules, so naturally they can't change it.

"Well, you go down first." Shen Nanyan sighed.

There were special essences and flower petals in the water, and a burst of fragrance hit her in the water, and she stood up slightly, and the water in the barrel was shining, rippling.

Her long inky hair was draped behind her, all of which hung down on the edge of the barrel, her eyes were closed, covering the only charm, her cheeks were slightly red from the steaming heat, and her face was still cold, and she seemed to have a paralyzed face at any time.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes, lowered her eyes, and her eyelashes drooped, falling into a fan-shaped shadow.

There was a scar on her heart, round in shape, the size of a spoon, that had grown her smooth and delicate heart, and it was an ugly thing.

Something that can't be erased no matter what, will stay with her for the rest of her life, and the existence of that scar is a clear indication of her past.

Her past was not happy or perfect.

It's almost filthy and unsightly.

After bathing, she changed her clothes and lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and the memories in her mind kept coming back to her, and after a pause, she turned over and lay on the bed on her side, her eyes drifting away.

Tonight, it's another sleepless night.

Ah Ci has been thinking about it for a long time in the past few days, but she still doesn't dare to tell Shen Nanyan about her and Shen Jin.

She is the daughter of a housekeeper, and she has lived with Shen Nanyan at the border for several years since she was a child, and her relationship is definitely not an ordinary master-servant relationship and sisterhood.

Shen Nanyan has had a cold temperament since he was a child, except for Shen's father, Shen's mother, and Shen Jin, he hardly gets close to anyone. And one of the things she has done the most since she was a child is to follow Shen Nanyan to protect her.

Don't look at her cute and smart, but she is a year older than Shen Nanyan, when she was a child, she was raised by her mother as a boy since she was a child, and her strength is extraordinarily great, and because Shen Nanyan has been good-looking since she was a child, there are many people who come to harass her.

Although Shen Jin also taught Shen Nanyan a lesson for the children of those families, he couldn't prevent it for a while, and going out of the house would always make people take advantage of loopholes.

At that time, she took on the task of beating away those people for Shen Nanyan, and anyone who wanted to get close was either chased by her or beaten by her and begged for mercy.

At that time, Shen Nanyan was a slow person, knowing that she had been protecting herself, and would occasionally ask her if her hands hurt and care about whether she slept well yesterday.

Their relationship was never formed overnight, it was she who warmed up little by little, making her heart open and accepting herself.

"Ah Ci, we are lifelong relatives, we have to go and return together." Shen Nanyan said this sentence solemnly that day.

How did she reply at the time, "As long as Miss needs me, I will accompany Miss for the rest of my life." ”

And now, how is she going to convince the young lady that the person she has regarded as a relative since she was a child is with her only brother, and he still hides from her and does not tell her.

If she knew, she would be disgusted with herself.

Outside the room, she stood kicking the rubble on the ground, hesitating whether to go in or not.

Hongying walked out with a basin of water, saw Ah Ci standing there, and walked in her direction: "Go into the house, Miss asked about you yesterday evening." ”

When I asked her, did she already know? Ah Ci was startled, and hurriedly raised his head, and his voice was astringent: "Does Miss know?" ”

Hongying nodded her forehead: "I didn't say it, just tell Miss about it, Miss is a kind person, your relationship with her is different from ours, are you still afraid that she will scold you?" ”

Hong Ying said earnestly and comfortingly, she thought quickly, even if Ah Ci and the young master really love each other, the Shen Mansion has always been generous to his subordinates, and he will not easily scold Ah Ci because of these things.

Ah Ci nodded, relieved a little, tidied up his appearance, and entered the house.

Sakura shook her head and smiled, and walked outside with her things.

Shen Nanyan had just finished combing her hair, and after Ah Ci entered the house, she consciously picked up a wooden comb to comb her hair in a bun.

Although the temperament is jumpy, the hands are dexterous, and a Chaoyun near the incense bun is quickly done.

Dai Tassel swayed, and Shen Nanyan said softly: "What have you been busy with lately?" It's been a long time since I've seen you. ”

I wanted to come in and confess this, but when she heard Shen Nanyan's words, she couldn't help but panic even more: "Miss, I want to tell you something......

Shen Nanyan stopped her movements and looked at her: "What's wrong?" ”

She spat out a few words: "I...... I'm with the young master. ”

After listening to Ah Ci's words, Shen Nanyan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the person who was so nervous that he was sweating profusely, his voice was unconsciously soft, and he smiled: "I know." ”

Seeing Shen Nanyan's usual reaction, Ah Zi looked at Shen Nanyan in a daze: "Miss is not angry with me?" ”

"Why am I mad at you? It's too late for me to rejoice for you. ”
