CHAPTER XXXI

In the days that followed, Shanniang felt that her life could be summed up in four words, that is: the years are quiet.

The subordinates everywhere in the house, after being scared by her a while ago, now all of them feel very obedient, even if there is something wrong, they dare not commit it in front of her.

The fifth wife is there, I just wish that the whole world would forget her save; It is said that the fifth master has been obsessed with practicing a new painting method recently, and he also hates to retreat and practice, so he orders no one to disturb him; Uncle Hou Rui was busy going to school all day long, grabbing turf and fighting after school, and he lived a very comfortable life; As for the little chubby Hou Jue, so the child has no overnight feud, and recently he has actually made friends with the boys who have just robbed him, except for the appearance of a puppy who has been kicked in the ass when he sees Shanniang - it is the kind of look that wants to please and is afraid of being beaten, the kind of "Although you have abused me thousands of times, I am still like my first love for you" The fledgling longing looks at the eyes.

Of course, Shanniang just didn't see anything.

Nowadays, her life is really "quiet and good", she eats well and sleeps well every day, and in her spare time, she takes advantage of the spring color, spends flowers, plays with grass, tosses her small yard, and arranges her small embroidery building, which is a free and easy thing that she has not had in two lifetimes......

If Lin Ruzhi could forget her, it wouldn't have been three days and two times to offer her courtesy.

Looking at Lin Ruzhi, who had changed into a begonia red spring shirt, Shanniang couldn't help but think of the sentence "A good girl is afraid of pestering her". Although this little girl is not a son, she is very good at entanglement, but she is such a lively and straightforward temperament, so that Shanniang wants to put a cold face on her, but after all, she is still ruthless.

So, the faceless and skinless Lin Ruzhi squeezed Shanniang's wariness of her step by step, expanding her sense of existence in Shanniang's heart. When Shan Niang noticed it, the place where she received Lin Ruzhi had already moved from the flower hall outside the second gate to the Eight Winds Pavilion in the back garden. At this time, because of the mention of planting flowers and grass, the little girl was entangled again, only saying that she wanted to see the flower pot shelves that Shanniang had said before. Shanniang couldn't hold back, and almost invited this little girl who was not familiar with her at all to her Chunshen Garden......

Sure enough, a good woman is afraid of pestering a man - a girl is even more terrible!

"Didn't you say that you were going to transfer to Meishan Girl's School? Why didn't I see you go to class? Shanniang quickly changed the subject.

"Ah, when it comes to this, I forgot to tell Sister Sù." The little girl suddenly leaned half of her body over the coffee table, looked at Shanniang and said with a smile: "I have agreed with my family that I will go to school again at the beginning of next month." My sister's sick leave is going to be taken until the end of this month, right? When the time comes, we will go to class together. ”

Shanniang paused, took a sip of tea from the little girl's eyes, and then looked at her from above the teacup and smiled: "Actually, I was about to apply for a leave of absence." ”

Lin Ruzhi was stunned.

"Huh? Huh? Yes?! Suspended?! My sister is taking a leave of absence? Why?! ”

"I'm not in good health......"

"Come less! My sister is obviously pretending to be sick! The little girl was anxious and jumped up suddenly, "Sister doesn't bring this!" I deliberately transferred to Meishan Girls' School for my sister, it doesn't make sense that I came, my sister won't go to school! If my sister really wants to take a leave of absence, I ...... I...... I'm going to tell my sister! ”

Looking at Lin Ruzhi's eagerly jumping feet, Shanniang couldn't help but support her forehead with her hand, and regretted it for a while. At that time, out of a momentary bad taste, she actually told this child that she was pretending to be sick and skipping school?!

"I don't care," the little girl pounced on and wrapped her arms around Shanniang, "In short, my sister is not allowed to skip school!" Otherwise, I'll sue your father! ”

Her dad?! After the fifth master came back, he couldn't break five fingers of what he said to her. She even suspected that if she changed into the clothes of her subordinates, maybe the five masters would not recognize her.

"Okay, you go and sue sù."

Shanniang smiled and broke free from Lin Ruzhi's arm. This Lin Ruzhi doesn't know what kind of quirk it is, and he loves to entangle people at every turn. However, although Shanniang looks smiling, she doesn't like to be close to people, and she has an instinctive vigilance and awkwardness for this kind of physical contact.

"Huh?!" The little girl was stunned again, looked at Shanniang who was smiling in a daze, and suddenly said with envy: "Your father knows that you are skipping school, won't he scold you?!" Your father really spoils you, how can you be like my father......"

Speaking of this, Lin Ruzhi pouted, and wrapped her arm around Shanniang again, "I don't care, I agreed to transfer to Meishan Women's School because of my sister." Originally, I was the only one in the capital to watch, and it was already difficult to skip school, but now that I have my uncle, grandfather and grandmother watching, I can't live! I sacrificed so much for my sister, but my sister actually sued me, I'm here, my sister doesn't want to go to school, I don't do it, I don't do it! ”

The little girl twisted the candy and pestered Shanniang, making Shanniang cry and laugh for a while. Even the children of her previous life had never been spoiled like this.

is such a delicate little girl, but it made her heart sour. In her previous life, she was convinced that "loving mothers have many defeated children", and even when there was such a soft-hearted moment, she had to force herself to harden her heart. And the child in front of her is just someone else's child, that is, she spoiled and spoiled her, and it is not her family's ......

So, Shanniang didn't realize what kind of pampering she had in her smile, and said with a smile while breaking free from Lin Ruzhi's arms: "Okay, okay, let's talk about this matter." Look at you, my clothes are wrinkled. ”

Lin Ruzhi looked up at her, and saw that although she was smiling, the resoluteness in her eyes was still the same, and she knew that the thirteenth sister should have made up her mind and would not change, so she couldn't help but be disappointed: "I said how to look at my sister is very kind, and now I understand that my sister is really similar to my Senior Brother Yuan." ”

Shanniang was stunned.

Lin Ruzhi pouted and said, "My Senior Brother Yuan is the same, I have made up my mind in my heart, and no one will change it." After a pause, Poor Baba looked at Shanniang and said, "Sister, can't you change your mind for me?" I sacrificed myself for my sister. ”

Shanniang blinked, sighed suddenly, and replied, "It's just that you don't want to go to the girls' school, can't you still come to me?" I didn't say that I didn't want to make you a friend. ”

Looking at the little girl's eyes that had become bright again, Shanniang sighed silently again.

In his previous life, was Yuan Changqing, like her now, also fascinated by this little girl's enthusiasm and frankness, so he violated his usual coldness, and silently, forbearably but persistently liked her in his heart for a lifetime?

And, as Lin Ruzhi said unintentionally, in fact, in essence, she is very similar to Yuan Changqing, both of whom are used to hiding their nature in the dark. It is precisely because of this that the bright little girl in front of her is very attractive to people like them......

"That's right," Lin Ruzhi, who became lively again, suddenly said, "My grandmother received a post about your family's spring feast a while ago." My grandmother asked me if I wanted to go, and I thought my sister was definitely going to go, so I agreed. I heard that your family's spring banquet is very famous, my sister told me, what are the rules for this spring banquet? I didn't know anything when I was saved, and I was a joke. ”

Shanniang was stunned. This is a different place from the previous life. Although the family sends posts to the Lin family every year, few people from the Lin family come. At least in her impression, no one from the Lin family came to the spring banquet that year.

Therefore, this year's guest of honor is the Yuan family of the Zhongyi Mansion in the capital.

That Yuan Changqing......

Thinking of the approaching Spring Appreciation Banquet, Shan Niang felt irritable for a while, and said with a smile: "Actually, there are no special rules, just eating, drinking, joking and joking." After a pause, she smiled and said, "However, I probably won't be there this year, I'm still 'sick'." ”

So, Lin Ruzhi's little girl pouted and complained to Shanniang who was pretending to be sick very dissatisfied: "Thirteenth sister is really not interesting! ”

*·*·*

As an apology, Shanniang personally sent Lin Ruzhi out of the gate, but when she turned around, she suddenly saw her nurse's figure disappearing at the corner gate of the courtyard.

She was curious for a moment, and also wanted to see the nurse's new yard, so she followed.

Who knew that her nurse did not go back to her own house, but hurried to the back door, flashed, and entered the porter at the back door.

In the gatehouse, there was already a person waiting.

It was a skinny middle-aged man. As soon as the man saw the nurse coming, he hurriedly pulled the person to the corner and muttered for a while.

When Shanniang passed, she saw that the nurse was shaking her head, with a look of embarrassment: "The money has been given to the family, and I don't have much on me." ”

"Do you want to die?!" The man shook his fist at the nurse.

The nurse was so frightened by him that she took a step back, looked around carefully, and pleaded in a low voice: "Be quiet, see if you are heard a joke!" ”

Just one sentence angered the man again. The man pushed the nurse hard and shouted: "You are afraid of people's jokes, but I am not afraid!" Whoever is a dead person, dare to think that I speak loudly! I think you haven't been tickling for three days, and you have forgotten who you are......"

"Oh? Tell me who she is. ”

Suddenly, a soft and waxy voice came from outside the door.

The man was startled, and quickly withdrew his hand and looked up.

I saw a little girl standing outside the gatehouse.

The little girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was a little short compared to her peers. On a small face the size of a palm, the eyes bent into two crescents seem to be completely harmless, and the corners of the slightly upturned lips are pursed with two small depressions full of smiles, which looks like a good temper.

Mother Li was stunned, and after reacting, she quickly stepped forward and bowed, and said in a trembling voice: "Girl." ”

When the man heard this, he couldn't help blinking there, and he didn't know what to think. After a pause, he suddenly squeezed away Mother Li, and smiled at Shanniang: "It turned out to be the eldest sister......

The "eldest sister" suddenly took a step back, covered her nose with a handkerchief in disgust, and asked her nurse without looking back, "Who is this?" ”

Mother Li said worriedly: "This, this is ...... ...... at home That mouth ......"

The man took another step forward flatteringly, but before he could speak, he saw a little maid with big eyes suddenly thrust over, waved the handkerchief in his hand at the tip of his nose, and shouted: "Duh! ”

The man was startled, so he had to retreat in a daze.

The nurse's face was also embarrassed.

Shanniang looked the man up and down with critical eyes, and then said: "Since the nurse signed in to my house, she is my person, even if you are the 'mouth' of her family, I am afraid that you have no right to kill without permission." ”

The man shrunk his neck, but secretly glared at the nurse fiercely.

The nurse was startled, and hurriedly came over to salute Shanniang again, squeezing and laughing: "He, he is a rough man, girl, girl, forgive me......"

As he spoke, he bent his knees to Shanniang again, hurriedly walked to the man's side, turned his back to Shanniang, stuffed a purse into the man's hand, and pleaded in a low voice: "That's all, let's go." ”

The man pinched the purse, glared at the nurse dissatisfiedly and threateningly, and bowed humbly to the arrogant thirteen girl, took the purse into his arms, and turned away.

Here, Shanniang couldn't help but squint her eyes when she looked at the person's back, and felt bad for a while.

In her previous life, she hadn't seen the "mouth" of the nurse's house, but she still knew that it was not a good person. She originally wanted to pretend to scare the man, but she didn't want the nurse to be a nurse after all, so she hurriedly sent the man away without waiting for her to exert her power, and still sent the man away with money as the man wanted......

Looking back at Mother Li, who was looking at her cautiously, Shanniang silently swallowed back a mouthful of blood, and her fingers propped up the corners of her forehead again.

She really didn't know how to transform this "traditional virtue" nurse.
