Chapter 20: Close-Guarding

Shen Yu put down the book and looked at her, only to see the woman holding the food box and looking at her with gentle eyes. Shen Yu was a little surprised, and couldn't help but laugh: "I sprained my ankle for you." I can finally get a little tenderness from you. ”

Jiang Qiuman was eating at the small dining table in the main hall, and said angrily: "It's not. It is said that you are the young master of the Shen family, and you are covered in gold, but you were injured for my concubine, which is really moving. ”

Shen Yu stood up from the bed, reached out and picked up the golden silk wooden crutches on the side, and Jiang Qiuman hurriedly rushed forward to help.

Shen Yu couldn't remember how long it had been since she had seen her so relaxed. He felt sorry for himself and said: "That Fu Taozhi was raised by his family, if there is anything to bully you in the future, you can fight back." There is a Shen family to support you. ”

Jiang Qiuman bent his eyes and laughed, and said softly, "Okay, I know, Young Master Shen." ”

Shen Yu frowned slightly: "In Qingxian, you call my husband." ”

Jiang Qiuman was slightly stunned for a long time before lowering his eyes and whispering: "Then, I will still call your husband in the future......

Shen Yu only thought she was shy, and her eyebrows and eyes were also dyed with a layer of soft color: "Let's eat." ”

Jiang Qiuman carefully arranged vegetables for Shen Yu, he hated fish bones, did not eat green onions, and liked sweet and sour tastes, so she carefully made them, and then put the clean fish meat into the Shen Yu bowl.

Two days passed like this, and in the past two days, Jiang Qiuman served Shen Yu closely, never leaving for a moment, and took care of him in every detail, which was very appropriate.

Now, it's another night. The soft light of the crystal lamp sprinkled on Jiang Qiuman's body, covering her with a layer of rippling gentleness. In a trance, Shen Yu only felt as if they had returned to the Jiang Mansion in Qingxian County, she served him soup, and he sat aside and looked at her.

Seeing that he was distracted, Jiang Qiuman smiled at him: "What are you thinking?" ”

Shen Yu came back to his senses: "It's fine." ”

Jiang Qiuman and Shen Yu talked about what they saw and heard when they went to buy vegetables today. Talking about the market life in the alley, the price of fish, meat and vegetables is more expensive than that of Qingxian. Shen Yu listened patiently, it should be in a good mood.

As he spoke, Jiang Qiuman couldn't help but sigh, and his clear eyes also showed sorrow.

Shen Yu said: "Well said, why are you sighing again?" ”

Jiang Qiuman's gaze was filled with grievances, and there was even a pleading in his tone: "I know that you came to me incognito to approach me for my family's white jade rat carving. It's just that I'm not white, since you want a rat carving, why don't you just buy it from my father? ”

Shen Yu said: "I have already asked someone to ask the price, but your father refused." ”

Jiang Qiuman frowned: "Why?" ”

Shen Yu said: "There is a Wanli Bank in the French Concession, and the owner Song Baiyin is quite powerful, whether it is with the Presidential Palace, or the precarious late Qing Mansion in Beiping, or even the Qinghong Gang in Shanghai, they are all very connected.

The Wanli Bank ticket number was opened all over the country, but he still colluded with foreign forces, wanting to send the 12 zodiac jade carvings of Master Yan Gui abroad to curry favor with foreign capital. ”

Shen Yu continued: "Your father is bent on leaving the mouse carving to the Wanli Bank for a high price. That's why I ignored my original purchase intention. ”

Jiang Qiuman remembered it instantly. At that time, people from Wanli Bank did come a few times, but each time it was received secretly by his father, so Jiang Qiuman didn't know what they were talking about.

It wasn't until later, about half a year after Jiang Qiuman and Shen Yu got married, that Wanli Bank came again, saying that they would spend one million taels of silver to buy a rat carving. Jiang Qiuman still remembers that his father was very happy at that time, not only entertaining the people of Wanli Bank, but even when he saw Shen Yu, he no longer scolded him.

It's just a pity that before the one million taels were in his arms, the rat carving was replaced by Shen Yu overnight, and Shen Yu disappeared without a trace overnight, so angry that his father looked up to the sky and scolded, and this transaction has been yellow since then.

And not long after Shen Yu disappeared, the Jiang family ignited a fire......

Jiang Qiuman suppressed the disgust in his heart and said lightly: "So husband, are you going to collect the twelve zodiac jade carvings of Master Yan Gui?" ”
