The steward is in the southwest corner of the Hou Mansion, and from the Hanqing Courtyard, there is a long corridor.

There was a sound of small footsteps in the mezzanine, and the horse-head wall was still towering, layered up until the sky was cut into a long and narrow strip.

Occasionally, a bird fluttered its wings and flew by, and Shen Anyan looked up, and his eyes hurt because of the scorching sun.

After a few times, even though the bird warbler cried over the ground, Shen Anyan no longer looked up.

When he stepped on the wood-made red corridor, the dense shadows fell, accompanied by the cool breeze and the rustling of leaves, Shen Anyan breathed a sigh of relief, and sweated with a brocade handkerchief, "It's really hot." ”

Qingling had fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and said with a red face: "It's an ambush, and it's getting hotter and hotter this day." ”

Shen Anyan stepped on the smooth bluestone slab under his feet, shaking the fan to send air to himself, "Wait a while, tell those stewards to wake up, send more food to the old lady to cool off, and ice the past, the old man can't stand the heat and cold." ”

As they spoke, the two stepped through the moon gate,

There were lanterns hanging on the corridor, casting a black shadow on the light, hiding half of Shen Anyan's Ronghua in the dark.

The sharp-eyed little girl saw Shen Anyan coming, and hurriedly arched her hands to meet her, "How can the third girl have time to come to the office?" ”

Shen Anyan felt the hot and stuffy breeze blowing on her face, and there was a trace of sleepiness and boredom on her face that only came from midsummer, "I heard that melons were sent today, so I'll come and take a look." ”

Shen Anyan was wrapped in light makeup today, but she had an enviable face, because no matter how reluctant she was on her face, others felt that she had a unique demeanor and couldn't afford to complain.

So the man still had that smiling face, and led her inside.

"It's not a good time for the three girls to come, and the melons that were just sent just now, but when they saw the light, they are still steaming, and it will not be very refreshing to eat, so the steward ordered the little ones to sink the melons in the well, and it will be better tomorrow."

Shen Anyan followed him inside, and saw that there were a few people passing melons into the well, and when they saw Shen Anyan coming, those people hurriedly saluted.

Shen Anyan told them to do their own business and not worry about her.

These subordinates are bored to do things again.

Shen Anyan called the little maid to call the steward who was in charge of the melon and fruit part.

He sat in the steward's room, listening to the sound of cicadas outside, and looking at the water in the distance sprinkled with stardust.

After taking a sip of tea, Wang Cheng, who was in charge, hurriedly ran over and made a long gesture, "Three girls An, what is the matter with the three girls coming to find Xiao in person?" ”

Shen Anyan waved his hand and asked him to get up, "Who sent the melon today?" ”

Wang Cheng was a little stunned, glanced at the subordinate beside him, as if he was looking, and then replied: "It should be Li Shu from Xiliu Street, and the Guahou Mansion in this season has always entered from him." ”

"Should?"

Shen Anyan frowned.

Wang Chengyunyan, "Back to the third girl, a few days ago, the old mother of the family suffered from heat stroke, and the little one went back, so he asked others to monitor it for me. ”

Wang Cheng looked at Shen Anyan's face and couldn't help but worry, "But there's something wrong with this melon?" ”

Shen Anyan shook his head, and just advised, "There are inevitable things at home, but in the future, you have to ask a trustworthy person to take over and help, don't do it again." ”

Wang Chengyuan wiped his sweat with his sleeves and nodded again and again.

Shen Anyan just walked away.

Qingling's face was extremely solemn, "I'm just afraid that the melon farmer has a problem." ”

Shen Anyan shook the fan gently, and the sultry wind blew directly on her face, making her suffocate for a moment, and when she calmed down, Qingling's words had fallen for a while.

Shen Anyan groaned, squinting at the horse head wall in front of him, "If you are free tomorrow, go to Wang Cheng's Xiliu Street to see if it is the same Li Shu, it will be better, isn't it....... There is no way but to eat cautiously. ”

After these instructions, the two stepped on the lonely narrow road, with gray walls and blue sky, with an exceptionally lonely scenery.

This time, I didn't meet anyone who suddenly jumped out of the door.

Shen Anyan felt that her heart was beating suddenly in such a scene, and she couldn't help but order, "Wait for Hongqian to tell the steward, saying that the melon will be eaten in a few days." ”

When the two returned to Bibo Courtyard, Hongqian waited for a cup of tea, Shan Tong took out the ice to send the wind, and Shen Anyan felt ironed.

Then there was no trace of Bian Niang, and when I asked, I realized that I went to the back cover room to set rules for those subordinates.

Recently, it has become hotter and hotter, and many people are speculative and lazy, and they are not very attentive to serving their masters.

Shen Anyan didn't ask anymore, sent Qingling and the others, and sat alone in the room.

In such a deep room, as soon as there are no others, the popularity is taken away by the open windows, only to suppress the heavy dead air, which makes people sleepy.

Shen Anyan leaned out the window, a little sleepy as soon as the sun shone in, her head was like a chicken pecking rice, and she gradually fell asleep.

When she woke up, she opened her eyes to see Shen Qiyuan's handsome face.

He may have been down for a long time, he did not wear a Dan embroidered crotch, but wrapped in a wide embroidered robe, his body is more burly than ordinary people, so such clothes cover him, and it looks like a mountain.

He squinted and smiled at the corners of his mouth, "Up?" ”

Shen Anyan looked at it in a daze, and it took a long time before she came back to her senses, "Why are you here?" ”

returned to her boudoir, and was not afraid of criticism from others.

Shen Qiyuan's eyes were unusually bright, "We are all people who are about to get married, what objections do others dare to have?" ”

Shen Anyan, who had just woken up, had a brain like mush, and now when she heard Shen Qiyuan say this, she only felt that there was a lot of mystery, but she couldn't think about it, and only listened to the sound of insects a few times before she came out with some meaning.

"Cheng ...... Get married? ”

She only felt that her cheeks were as hot as charcoal, and she jumped up to her head one after another, splitting her head to pieces like iron.

"What marriage? How can I sleep and turn the world upside down? ”

Shen Qiyuan saw her little confused, and couldn't help but joke, "You have a big heart, you have slept for several years, and now you have become an old girl, no one else wants you, only I reluctantly accepted you home." ”

Shen Anyan was really bluffed, looking at him with a frightened face, his delicate and soft fingers supporting his chin, "I haven't seen you for a few years, my uncle is really old, look at the fine lines in the corners of his eyes, I'm about to catch up with the old lady in Dongwu Hutong." ”

There is an old lady living in Dongwu Hutong, who has passed her old age and lost her teeth, not to mention the wrinkles on her face.

Tasting what she meant to tease herself, Shen Qiyuan shook his head with a smile, "You are so naughty, compare me to an old lady." ”

Shen Anyan moved her lips, and said with a sense of ruffian: "Uncle is naughty first, talking some nonsense, how can he blame me?" ”
