Chapter 22 Refusal to arrange work
In the Shi family's villa and study, his subordinates followed Shen Jianing, saw what happened in the coffee shop, and reported it to Shi Yan as it was.
As soon as his subordinates left, Old Man Shi immediately looked at Shi Yan with an interested look, and said in the tone of a person who came over: "When did you send someone to pay special attention to Shen Jianing?" ”
The implication is that Shi Yan is better for Shen Jianing.
Shi Yan naturally understood, felt a little embarrassed, and lowered his voice to justify: "Grandpa, you have been gossiping a little lately. ”
"Haha~ Grandpa just said it casually, don't care, rest well!" Old Man Shi probably didn't want to see Shi Yan embarrassed, so after smiling and speaking, he took the initiative to leave.
……
As night falls, the lights come on.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Shen Jianing was alone in the kitchen, skillfully boiling the latest medicinal materials that were about to be used to regulate the body of the banquet.
The strong smell of herbs filled the entire kitchen, but Shen Jianing didn't feel half pungent.
After the herbs were boiled, in order to ensure that the herbs achieved the best effect, she held a bowl in her hand, waited until the temperature was right, and drank it without hesitation.
Xu was not satisfied with the result, but she shook her head in disappointment, and then began to put medicinal herbs into the medicine jar again.
Shi Yan stood at the corner of the stairs, looking at the scene of Shen Jianing's hard work, being burned in the middle of the way, and finally testing the medicine himself, his emotions were inexplicably mixed, and he didn't feel a little distressed.
He didn't bother Shen Jianing, he glanced at it meaningfully, and then turned around and went upstairs to the bedroom.
……
Half an hour later, Shen Jianing appeared in front of Shi Yan with half a bowl of Chinese medicine, and the strong smell of herbs came to his nose.
"The medicine is bitter, I have prepared the candied fruit for you, if you can't stand the smell, you can pinch your nose and drink it yourself."
As if coaxing a three-year-old child, Shen Jianing went straight to the point and explained that the taste of medicine was very bitter.
Shi Yan naturally smelled the bitter medicinal smell, but what he didn't expect was that Shen Jianing actually prepared the candied fruit intimately.
Although he did have some aversion to drinking Chinese medicine, he was not allowed to resist when he was riddled with illness.
The big bony palm took the bowl in Shen Jianing's hand, and stared at the dark brown liquid inside.
As if he had made a lot of determination, his brows tightened, he took a deep breath, and only then did he see Shen Jianing drinking medicine in the kitchen downstairs, and he raised his head and drank it all neatly.
"Ahem~" was probably drunk too quickly, so that in the end he coughed violently twice.
Shen Jianing patted him on the back in time, and then took the empty bowl in his hand, followed by a hawthorn candied fruit appeared in the palm of his hand.
Before Shi Yan could respond, he had already caught a glimpse of Shen Jianing's figure leaving the bedroom, leaving a single sentence: "I'll go wash the dishes, and I'll press the acupuncture points for you later." ”
After tonight, Shen Jianing played the role of the exclusive servant of the banquet, and arranged his food, clothing, housing and transportation in an all-round way.
This should have been a trivial matter, but unexpectedly, it offended the interests of the villa housekeeper.
The housekeeper was originally regarded as a person with a status in the Shi family, and she arranged all the big and small things in the villa.
Now because of Shen Jianing, she has lost part of her original job, which makes her feel that her status is threatened, and she has serious dissatisfaction with Shen Jianing.
