That scorching gaze finally made Shen Nianzhu raise her head.

"Second Master Su, what are you doing? Are your wounds healed? She asked indifferently.

The corners of Su Yunmu's mouth twitched, and he suddenly sneered, pointed at her and said, "You are still pretending to be stupid!" The first time you dressed as a man and won me, the second time you beat me in the Shen family, this time, I should ask you! ”

"I don't understand what you're saying."

Shen Nianzhu said, turned around and stood behind Shen Nianzhen, to avoid his burning gaze.

"Second son Su." Shen Nianzhen smiled embarrassedly and said: "The last time my sister was ignorant, and I hope that you have a lot of adults, so don't worry about her as a little girl, and you will lose your identity as the second son of Su, right?" If it's all right, we'll take our leave. ”

After speaking, he wanted to pull Shen Nianzhu away.

"Wait!"

Su Yunmu stepped forward quickly, stopped them again, and said in a hurried voice: "I didn't think about anything!" I just want to try a pitcher with her again! ”

"I don't want to compare myself to him." Shen Nianzhu said simply.

Shen Nianzhen immediately raised his eyebrows: "Second son Su, did you hear it?" ”

"Second son Su." Sister Liao Yulan also rushed over and persuaded one after another: "Sister Shen is a guest we invited, not here to compete with you to throw pots!" Second brother! Mind your friends! ”

"Brother Su, don't forget it." Liao Zhongwen coughed lightly and said.

Su Yunmu insisted on refusing to leave.

Shen Nianzhen became a little impatient, and was about to pull Shen Nianzhu to take another way, when he suddenly saw Su Yunmu playing with something like a seal in his hand, and there was a faint word Lan on the seal.

Shen Nianzhen suddenly became alert, and he didn't leave, and asked with a smile: "Second Master Su, the seal in your hand is quite chic, can you show me?" ”

"Okay." Hearing this, Su Yunmu handed over the seal indifferently, and said triumphantly: "This is what I bought from an antique shop for a hundred taels of silver today, and the condition is good, right?" ”

Shen Nianzhen stretched out his hand and took it.

The seal tentacles were warm, and it also carried Su Yunmu's body temperature, and at first glance it was carved from jade, square and square, the size was one inch square, and the carving was very exquisite.

Looking carefully, there is indeed a regular script on it, Shen Nianzhen recognized it at a glance, this is her eldest brother Shen Yunlan's own personal seal, she has seen it before, even a crack in the corner is exactly the same.

Shen Nianzhen looked at it over and over again, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In his previous life, Shen Yunlan fought at the border pass, and when the army was defeated, someone found a letter from his military tent about collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and his seal was on it, which was the ironclad evidence of the Shen family's rebellion later.

At that time, she only cared about finding someone to intercede and save her father and brother, but she never thought about what the truth of the matter was.

I didn't expect to see the seal of my eldest brother here today.

"Again, where did you get that?" Shen Nianzhen's face turned cold.

"The master said it! I bought it in an antique shop! Su Yunmu was a little angry, and reached out to grab the seal: "Is it better than that?" ”

Shen Nianzhen's arm shrank back, held the seal firmly, looked at Su Yunmu and said, "Okay, my sister can compete with you, but if she wins, you give me this seal, can it be done?" ”

"What should I be, it turned out to be this, you can give it to you if you want!"

Su Yunmu said generously: "When will you start comparing?" ”

"Wait a minute."

Shen Nianzhen said, turned around and grabbed Shen Nianzhu's arm, took her to the side, where others couldn't hear it, lowered his voice, and said with a sincere face: "Good sister, this thing is very important to my sister, you can compare with him today, okay?" ”

"But I'm not sure I'll win."

Shen Nianzhu blinked her eyes and said lightly: "Eldest sister, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed." ”

"Don't be afraid." Shen Nianzhen said in a low voice: "Wait a minute, I'll teach you a few tricks, you can win!" ”

"Okay then."

Shen Nian really didn't care.

She doesn't care much about it.

"Okay." Shen Nianzhen lowered her voice and whispered a few words in her ear, Shen Nianzhu's eyes lit up.

"Okay, when I go back, you can pick my jewelry."

Shen Nianzhen took her hand with a smile and walked back again.

Su Yunmu had already asked the attendant to tie his sleeves for him, and the whole person was eager to stand on the field, and when he saw the sisters coming back, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "Can you discuss it?" ”

"It's been discussed."

Shen Nianzhen smiled, stretched out his hand and pushed Shen Nianzhu forward, and said, "Sister, my sister will rely on you today." ”

Shen Nianzhu nodded.

"Sister Shen." Liao Kanglan grabbed Shen Nianzhen and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure you can win?" ”

"I guess I can." Ponder the truth.

Su Yunmu's level of throwing pots is quite high, how Shen Nianzhu is, she actually doesn't know how well.

But today, it's not better than no, it's a big deal that she will come on the field in the end, anyway, she won't hand over the seal to Su Yunmu again.

"Huh? You're not sure, huh? Liao Kanglan asked in surprise.

Liao Yulan stood aside, a look of worry on her face.

But at this moment, Shen Nianzhu suddenly said on the field: "Second son Su, how do we decide to win or lose today?" ”

"Of course, it depends on who votes more?"

Su Yunmu asked puzzledly: "Do you have any other ways to throw pots?" ”

"Coincidentally, I really have." Shen Nianzhu said, suddenly grabbed seven bamboo arrows, and threw them towards several copper kettles in front of her like scattered flowers.

There were seven bangs in a row, and one hit one in each copper kettle.

"It's too boring to see who votes the most, it's so simple." Shen Nianzhu clapped her hands, looked at Su Yunmu and said, "I'm done casting, it's your turn, if you can also win all seven, then I will lose." ”

Su Yunmu was dumbfounded.

The three brothers and sisters of the Liao family stood aside with their mouths wide open, speechless.

"Sister Shen, it turns out that you are so powerful!"

Liao Kanglan suddenly screamed, pounced over and hugged Shen Nianzhu, and said excitedly: "I want to apprentice!" I want to worship you as a master! ”

Immediately embarrassed Shen Nianzhu, he looked at Shen Nianzhen like a helper.

Shen Nianzhen was also very surprised, and he never imagined that his little sister was so powerful.

Surprise is followed by excitement.

She looked at the depressed Su Yunmu triumphantly, and said with a smile: "Second son Su, it's your turn!" As he spoke, he gently shook the seal in his hand, and his face was bound to win.

Su Yunmu took a deep breath.

There was no more doubt in my mind.

Raising her eyes to look at Shen Nianzhu, who was surrounded by the sisters of the Liao family, the little girl didn't seem to be good at talking, her delicate little face was flushed, and she looked a little beautiful.

Su Yunmuping is accustomed to beauties like his eldest sister, and occasionally sees such a delicate and refined little jasper, and he feels very fresh.

"Okay, it's my turn."

Losing people does not lose the battle, Su Yunmu hooked the corners of his mouth, took the steps that he thought were chic, got off the field, took the bamboo arrow, aimed at the seven copper kettles on the opposite side, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

During this time, he was also practicing throwing more than once, but unfortunately he didn't have such a powerful ability as Shen Nianzhu.

"Second son Su, vote quickly! Don't wait! Liao Kanglan said with a smile on the side.

Liao Zhongwen persuaded: "Sixth sister, don't bother Su Gongzi, give him a little more time." ”

Liao Yulan also advised: "You don't say a word." ”

Liao Kanglan shut up, but was still excited.

But at this moment, Su Yunmu finally made a move.

He held up the seven bamboo arrows and finally threw them with great force!

The posture and speed are similar to Shen Nianzhu just now.

The seven arrows flew out and fell towards the copper kettle to which they belonged, six of which fell into the kettle and one fell to the ground.

"That's pretty impressive." Liao Langlan muttered.

"It's me who loses." Su Yunmu turned his head, looked at Shen Nianzhu seriously, and grinned: "If you lose to Miss Shen Si, you will be convinced." ”

"Where, the little sister just won the second son of Su by luck."

Shen Nianzhen was so happy, he held the seal tightly, held Shen Nianzhu's hand, turned his head and said to Sister Liao Yulan: "It's not too early, I should go back too." ”

"Okay, I'll send you with my sixth sister." Liao Yulan said.

Nodding at Su Yunmu and the others, the group walked out of the garden and towards the front yard.

Su Yunmu stood there in a daze, and everyone walked away and didn't look back.

Liao Zhongwen couldn't help but smile and asked, "Brother Su, have you taken a fancy to the fourth lady of the Shen family in green clothes?" ”

"Why!"

Su Yunmu immediately denied it: "I just admire her pot-throwing skills!" ”

"Really?" Liao Zhongwen smiled: "Then may I ask, the injury on Brother Su's face two days ago was hit by that girl?" ”

"I've said it all! It's hitting the wall! Wall! Don't ask again! ”

Su Yunmu coped with two sentences impatiently, turned around and hurriedly walked out: "I still have something to do, go home first, and ask you to play polo another day when I am free!" ”

And then the man was gone.

Liao Zhongwen laughed out loud when he heard this, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a plain brocade on the ground.

He immediately walked over curiously and picked it up.

Unfold the brocade pa, embroidered in the upper right corner with a cluster of brilliant peach blossoms, the stitching method is concise, but also chic.

"Who will this be......" Liao Zhongwen said to himself: "If it's Yulan, Sister Kanglan is easy to do, but if it's a girl from the Shen family, ......"

Before the words fell, a faint female voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Second brother." ”

Liao Zhongwen immediately turned around, and when he saw Liao Shulan in the fourth room, the smile on his face faded, and he quickly hid the handkerchief on his sleeve, and said lightly: "Why are you here?" ”

"Don't hide, I've seen it all." Liao Shulan stepped forward, smiled slightly, stared at Liao Zhongwen and said, "Just after the flowers over there, I saw that the second brother stared intently at the eldest lady of the Shen family for a long time, and this veil fell from her, don't you know?" ”

Liao Zhongwen's face was slightly red, he really didn't expect his words and deeds to be looked at, but he really didn't know who this veil was.

"You're wrong, I really don't know whose veil it is." Liao Zhongwen replied in a deep voice.

"It's Miss Shen's, I've seen it before." Liao Shulan looked at him with a smile and asked mischievously, "Second brother, are you planning to keep it for yourself?" Or send it back? ”

"Send it back, of course!"

Liao Zhongwen inexplicably didn't like the narrowness in her eyes, and said righteously: "I will give this handkerchief to the fourth sister and let her return it to Miss Shen, don't spread the word about this matter." ”

With that, turn around and leave.

Liao Shulan looked at his back and suddenly let out a sneer.

……

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Shen Nianzhen asked Ruhua to inquire if Shen Yunlan had returned.

However, the news that came back was that Shen Yunlan was not in the mansion.

"Eldest sister, I'll go back first." Shen Nianzhu said.

"Wait!!" Shen Nianzhen grabbed her hand, dragged people into the house, opened the dresser, took out all the precious jewelry he had treasured over the years, set up a table, and let Shen Nianzhu choose: "Come, choose one you like, pick two or three pieces!" ”

"It's just that the peach blossom hairpin on my head and this pearl were given to me by the second prince, so I can't give it to you." Shen Nian said apologetically.

"Since it was given to you by His Highness, how dare I ask for it?"

Shen Nianzhu snorted, lowered her head and looked at it curiously, touching this for a while, touching that for a while, with an envious look on her face.

Shen Nianzhen glanced at her and saw that she was also a daughter of the Shen family, but Shen Nianzhu wore two relatively ordinary silver hairpins on her sideburns, some small piles of yarn palace flowers, and nothing else.

She took matters into her own hands, picked and chose from the jewelry, found a few hostas and bracelets that echoed Shen Nianzhen's calm and restrained temperament, and handed them to her: "Come, take it!" ”

"So much? I don't want it! ”

When Shen Nianzhu saw it, she immediately seemed to be burned, retracted her hand and shook her head repeatedly: "Big sister, you can give me one, my mother won't let me ask for more things from others." ”

"I'm no one else, I'm your sister."

Shen Nianzhen smiled, asked Ruhua to find a brocade box, put the selected jewelry into it, and didn't stuff it to Shen Nianzhu, and handed it to Ruhuadao: "The third sister must be afraid that the third aunt will blame, you personally accompany her and send her home." ”

"Yes, miss." Picturesque smiled and responded.

Shen Nianzhu didn't know what to say, looking at Shen Nianzhen, slowly tears rolled in her eyes, and she turned her head suddenly.

Shen Nianzhen also sighed a little emotionally, she really couldn't imagine that the fourth sister, who had almost become a rival with herself in her previous life, could unite with the outside world in this life, and such jewelry did not represent her gratitude to Shen Nianzhu.

"Good sister, go ahead."

Shen Nianzhen gently pushed her and said with a smile: "If there is something good in the future, my sister will call you." ”

Shen Nianzhu burst out laughing.

In the evening, he had dinner in Chunhui Courtyard, and Shen Nianzhen waited until Mrs. Shen rested, and he couldn't wait for Shen Yunlan to come back, and his heart suddenly went up and down.

"Miss, the eldest young master must be too busy today, why don't you go to bed first!"

Ruhua took a cloak and walked over and draped it on Shen Nianzhen.

Shen Nianzhen was indifferent, sitting under the oil lamp, looking at the seal in his hand over and over again, as if he wanted to stare at it out of a hole.

After enduring it for a day, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what is this seal, and why do you value it so much?" ”

I didn't hesitate to give so much jewelry to Miss Four, just to exchange for this seal.

"This is the seal of the eldest brother, and I don't know how it has been circulated." Shen Nianzhen said in a deep voice: "Do you imagine, if this falls into the hands of people with ill intentions, how much disaster it will bring to our family?" ”

"I see!" Ruhua nodded and said, "No wonder, Miss, you have to fight to get it back, you can't be in the hands of outsiders." ”

"I just don't know if my eldest brother knows about it."

Shen Nianzhen's expression was very heavy.

She always felt that there was an invisible hand in the darkness, secretly calculating the Shen family, and she must not take it lightly.

Shen Yunlan came back close to midnight, and as soon as he entered the door, he was shocked by the picturesque pestle at the second gate: "Why are you here?" ”

"Young Master, Miss has something very important to tell you." Picturesque and serious expression.

"Something very important?"

Shen Yunlan raised his eyebrows in surprise, nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, let's go." ”

Picturesque immediately leads the way.

Entering the Liuzhen Pavilion and seeing the lights in the upper room and the figure reflected on the screen window, Shen Yunlan smiled slightly and walked in.

"Sister, what the hell is going on......"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Nianzhen, who was sitting behind the coffee table, put down the book in his hand, pushed the seal in front of him forward, looked at Shen Yunlan and said with a serious expression: "Big brother, do you know this thing?" ”

Shen Yunlan was a little surprised, walked over and bent down to sit down, and reached out to pick up the seal.

After just one glance, he was surprised: "Where did you get it from?" Did you come into my study? ”

"Nope." Ruhua replied: "Miss today met Su Ergongzi in Cheng'anbo's Mansion and tried her best to win this seal from him, according to him, this seal was bought by him from an antique shop for a hundred taels of silver. ”

Shen Nianzhen looked at him and slowly spoke: "Second brother, explain, what's going on?" ”

"I don't know."

Shen Yunlan shook his head in surprise, looked at the seal with a complicated expression, and said in a deep voice: "This seal has always been kept by me in the study...... And no one else knows......"

"Then big brother, let's go back and take a look."

Shen Nianzhen said softly: "Look if it's still there, if it's not there, it means that our family has entered the thief, and we need to rectify it well, otherwise Daddy's seal will be stolen and fall into the hands of people with ill intentions, and our family will be charged with rebellion, but it's over!" ”

"Good!"

Shen Yunlan also knew that the matter was big, so he nodded and went out in a hurry.

After a while, he returned and sat down with a solemn face: "The seal is gone." ”

"Sure enough." Shen Nianzhen heard this, but he breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

Shen Yunlan was very angry: "Early tomorrow morning, no, when I go back, I will go to thoroughly investigate the stewards and subordinates in the study!" Who the hell stole it! ”

"It's to be rectified, but you can't focus all your eyes on them." Shen Nianzhen raised his head, looked at him and said seriously: "Big brother, do you remember the second cousin Shen Yunqi, has he ever entered your study?" ”

When Shen Yunlan heard her say this, the expression on his face suddenly became solemn.

"You mean ......"

"yes, it's time to ask." Shen Nianzhen nodded, smiled slightly, and said, "Isn't the second cousin about to come back from Xuzhou?" ”
