Although Shen Wei's voice and smile were very gentle, Erniang still heard the perfunctory taste from his tone. The pride in Erniang's heart was stimulated, she couldn't help but tighten her chin slightly, looked at Shen Wei and said, "Tell me about it." ”

No matter how Erniang has grown up in recent years, she is rusty in the affairs of men and women, sometimes when you like a man, you can't accept that he says that you are half bad, and you can't bear his contempt for you. You always subconsciously want him to look at you and prove that you are different and deserve to look at him differently.

Shen Wei tilted his head slightly and thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, how about you think of a way to let Wang Ge Lao not have too much leisure to put on official business, and let him take care of himself?" Shen Wei said as if he was joking.

Erniang frowned when she heard this.

"What? Do you remember that you are the young lady of the Wang family? Shen Wei said with a smile.

Erniang felt that this was Shen Wei testing herself, and just now Shen Wei asked her to only follow his orders in the future. If what Shen Wei asked her to do conflicted with the interests of the Wang family, he was afraid that he would abandon him and choose the Wang family? What Shen Wei wants to do is it against the interests of the Wang family?

Erniang's thought only passed through her mind, and she said without hesitation: "Since I stepped out of the door of the Wang family, I am not the daughter of the Wang family." You say it, and I'll do it. ”

Shen Wei smiled when he heard this: "Then I'll wait and see." Because this is our bet, we ...... I'm not going to give you any help, it's all up to you. ”

Erniang pursed her lips, and a somewhat stubborn look appeared in her eyes: "I don't need your help." ”

Shen Wei nodded with a smile and said softly, "It's late at night, you go back and rest first." ”

Erniang glanced at Shen Wei, and saw Shen Wei looking at him with a smile, her eyes were as soft as when she first met, she took a deep breath and turned around and walked out. When he was about to reach the door, he suddenly paused, and walked back with his head down.

Shen Wei raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Erniang just lowered her head and walked to the bookcase. The dishes on the bookcase were packed into two layers of food boxes. When the desk was all cleaned up, she walked out with the food box again.

Shen Wei watched her movements with a smile, knowing that Erniang came out of the study and closed the door. He shook his head with a smile and muttered, "Sure enough, it's a teachable child." ”

At this time, there was another knock on the door, and then the maid Ji'er walked in.

The smile on Shen Wei's face hadn't been withdrawn: "She's gone?" ”

Ji Er lowered her head and replied: "The young lady walked very fast, and let the slave and maid not have to follow." ”

Shen Wei nodded, not caring.

Ji Er thought about it and asked more: "Master, do you want to use her?" ”

Shen Wei didn't seem to care too much about Ji'er's transgression, and smiled gently: "I always have to find something for her to do." Do you need to use it...... Let's see. ”

Ji Er frowned when she heard this.

Shen Wei smiled: "What's the problem?" ”

Ji Er raised his head and said seriously: "Master, my subordinates think that a boudoir woman who can even say harm to her relatives and betray her is not trustworthy. She has a good ear, and when she stands outside the door, she can generally hear the movement in the house, and Shen Wei also knows it.

If the second mother of the Wang family is from a rough background like those orphans, it is okay, because in order to survive, people's hearts will slowly harden. Until indestructible. She has seen a lot of such people, and she doesn't find it strange.

Shen Wei was disappreciative when he heard this: "In your eyes, the efforts you have made to survive." Reasonable in any case. But in this world, many people feel that there are many things that are more important than living. ”

Ji Er was a little confused when she heard this, she was born an orphan and had been among the beggars in the market for many years, because she was weak when she was a child, she was always snatched away by other beggars who had been able to get the food she had so hard to get, and she was saved by Shen Wei when she was starving to death. Shen Wei gave her food, let people teach her to read and write, and teach her skills. In her opinion, learning these things is to keep herself alive.

In her heart, there is nothing more important than living.

Shen Wei didn't want to talk more about this with Ji Er. only asked casually: "He Huan hasn't returned yet?" ”

Although Ji Er has a somewhat cold temperament, she has always been good at observing words and feelings, and she knows that Shen Wei doesn't want to talk to her about the new young lady who has entered the door, so she no longer dwells on this.

"I received a letter a while ago, saying that I would come back on the day you got married, young master, but I haven't come yet. I guess I won't be coming back today. Something could be delayed. Although Ji Er's voice was already cold, it could be regarded as helping He Huan speak, which was rare for her, just because He Huan and her were also companions who grew up together.

Shen Wei narrowed his eyes and said softly: "This time he went to Southern Xinjiang, but he has been there for so long, it seems that the situation over there is not very good." ”

"As long as the saint is still there, the land of southern Xinjiang will definitely not be like an iron bucket, so why should you worry."

Shen Wei closed his eyes and whispered, "There are more and more things out of control, and it's really beyond my expectations." I remember Mingming...... Xuan Shao is a capable person, just like his father back then. ”

Shen Wei's voice was too small, Ji Er didn't hear it clearly, and only heard the name Xuan Shao roughly.

"I didn't let him die back then, I guess I really have some ability." Ji Er paused and pursed her lips.

Shen Wei kept his eyes closed, others couldn't understand his expression, he didn't seem to hear Ji Er's words, and he seemed to be asleep. But Ji Er knew that Shen Wei was not sleeping, he was just closing his eyes to recuperate. And Shen Wei didn't like to be disturbed when he closed his eyes and recuperated. Ji Er has followed Shen Wei for many years and still knows him.

Sanniang has been a little idle these days, on this day, she frowned in the mirror for a long time, and the maids who were waiting on the side looked at each other, and she asked Bai Ying with some hesitation: "Have I gained some weight recently?" ”

Bai Ying felt that since her young lady got married, she was more nervous about her appearance. But in all fairness, after a winter, Sanniang really grew some meat.

Originally, Mama Zhuang thought that she would be like this only if she had a body, but her monthly letter came, which made people happy.

Although Sanniang was really fat, Bai Ying still said: "No, Miss, you are not fat." ”

Sanniang looked at herself in the mirror and was a little helpless, it stands to reason that Xuan Shao left Beijing, shouldn't she be haggard for Yixiao? But her appetite didn't deteriorate. If Xuan Shao came back, would she be mistaken that she was glad that he was not there?

Speaking of which, it has been several months since Xuan Shao left, and I don't know where he is now. The last time I heard from Xuan Yun, he was still on his way.

I hope he can remember what he promised himself before leaving, and don't try too hard, Sanniang frowned and thought.

Sometimes missing is like this, you don't need to think about it deliberately, but you will subconsciously think of that person when you think about anything. Real longing is often sudden.

Spring is always a season to think about.

At this time, someone entered the house from outside, and Sanniang looked up and saw that Bai Lan, who had just said that she had something to go out, had returned.

Bai Lan didn't say a word, walked up to Sanniang, took out a letter from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Sanniang.

Sanniang looked at the smiling Bai Lan with some puzzlement, and suddenly she seemed to think of something, and hurriedly lowered her head to look at the envelope in her hand, and when she saw the familiar and upright handwriting on it that had not been seen for a long time, she couldn't help but feel happy.

"Young lady, this is a letter from the young master. The slave received it when she just went out, and she sent it back to you immediately. Seeing that the joy on Sanniang's face couldn't be hidden, Bai Lan couldn't help but smile.

Sanniang calmed down, looked up and saw a room of maids looking at her with some curiosity, Sanniang coughed lightly, pinched the letter in her hand, and was not in a hurry to look at it, and said to Bai Lan: "It's hard for you to run this trip, if you have something to do, go and get busy." ”

Bai Lan finally restrained her smile and said with a serious face: "Yes, young lady." She has been in contact with Sanniang for a long time these days, and she found that this young lady is a very good-tempered person, she is not a slave, and she is even less restrained in front of Sanniang.

With that, Bai Lan really turned around and left. The maids in the room also retreated in amusement under Bai Ying's gaze.

Sanniang saw that everyone was so interested, so much that she couldn't cry or laugh.

Specially asked Bai Ying to go to the small knife that was specially used to cut letter paper and open envelopes. Sanniang carefully opened the letter.

It's just a no-showy piece of paper inside.

opened the letter, and Xuan Shao's words were clear at a glance.

"Peace, don't hang up!"

Sanniang blinked, and looked at the back of the letter in reverse...... Blank.

Sanniang was stunned and couldn't help grinding her teeth: This is the letter that Xuan Shao gave her? It's better not to write it, wasting the carriages and horses of the post station.

Fold the letter in his hand and put it in the envelope again, but suddenly found that the weight of the envelope in his hand was a little wrong, Sanniang stretched out his hand, turned the envelope upside down and sealed it down into his palm, and suddenly, his palm sank.

Looking down, Sanniang's palms were lying with two round stones.

The stone was very small, less than half a little finger in size, but it was rare round, pale yellow color, and when you looked at the light, you could see the small cracks inside.

The resentment in Sanniang's heart suddenly disappeared, and the smile on her face was extremely happy.

She remembered the last time she was reading with Xuan Shao in the study, she was reading a book about the geography of the north. When he saw an unknown river in the north, and some small and round stones with beautiful patterns appeared on the bank at the beginning of spring every year, he asked Xuan Shao with some curiosity if he had seen it. The river in the north is scarce, and this kind of stone Sanniang has never heard of it.

Xuan Shao said that he had seen it, and although the book did not say what the stone was, the locals gave it a nice name: Jizhigrad.

It means happiness. (To be continued)
