152 The Brother-in-law 8
"Why?"
"Because I want you to wake up and stop living in such a depressed state. As a grown man, there is nothing you can't let go of. If you continue like this, you will only make people laugh." After a pause, she added, "But if you want to make people laugh, Grand Master, then I have nothing to say. I have persuaded you, and I have spoken my words. As for whether you listen or not, it is up to you."
Before she finished speaking, she was about to leave. If she tried to persuade him too much, it would be wrong. Don't seem too deliberate, that's not good either. It seemed like she had ulterior motives and ulterior motives. It made him wary, and he would be more cautious in attacking in the future. Difficult. Thinking of this, Shen Lian turned around and left the room, and walked around again before returning to the original room.
As soon as we entered, we found that Dongxia had already eaten almost all the dishes on the table. What was left was just some leftovers, and he had basically eaten them all. The little girl had a good appetite, and the dishes on the table were quite large. As for the call Qing Guan, who is Yingying, is still playing the pipa there. But the music has been changed, and it seems that he has been playing it until now.
As soon as she saw her coming in, Dongxia stood up excitedly and walked over quickly. When she came to Shen Lian's side, she was so excited that she grabbed Shen Lian's arm. "Aunt... Young Master, you are back. If you don’t come back, I won’t be able to hold on any longer. I have already asked that sister to play seven or eight pieces of music. If this continues, I will finish playing.”
It was the song that girl Yingying knew and was about to finish playing. After listening to Dongxia's words, Shen Lian couldn't help laughing. She quickly covered her lips and smiled, and then said after a while: "You, you, but I think you have a good appetite. Well, all the dishes on the table have been eaten." You have a big appetite, there are at least seven or eight dishes on this table.
"Isn't this idle?" Dongxia smiled awkwardly and scratched her head.
Shen Lian came to the table and sat down calmly. "Okay, Miss Yingying, you can go down now. We will be leaving soon." She suddenly thought of something and looked at Dongxia, "Winter and summer, reward money."
Dongxia immediately took out a purse from her arms, opened it, took out a banknote and handed it to the girl. Miss Yingying saluted them, thanked them, and then left. Watch her go. After that, Shen Lian patted Dongxia on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, it's getting late."
It wasn't until they left here and walked on the street that Dongxia asked her doubts. "Girl, what are you doing? You didn't eat a single dish, and you didn't watch such a beautiful show." At the beginning. , the girl left; she didn’t come back until almost the end. What on earth did the girl do?
"It's nothing. I just went to comfort someone. I don't know if it will be of any use."
Dongxia asked smoothly, "Who are you comforting? Girl, do you have any friends in a place like that?" That's a place where all the men in the city go to have fun. How could there be friends that the girl knows? It's the girl in the building, They are still those customers who come for prostitution. It seems that none of them are good people.
Shen Lian hugged her neck, as if the two brothers were on good terms. "Xiao Dongxia, don't ask about this. The girl is afraid of scaring you." She didn't want anyone to know about this matter. After all, now , it's not the time yet. She doesn't want to die before she leaves the army, and is strangled to death in the cradle before the plan has really started.
Especially if Ajie or Daddy found out, she would have to be banned for a year and a half. I'm afraid Ajie wouldn't even help her with this matter. So, she didn't dare to say anything.
As soon as the two returned to Nangong Mansion, Shen Lian was taken to the study and in front of his father. Today, his father was dressed in a black brocade robe with gold rims. His slender body was not inferior to that of a young man. At first glance, When she arrived, she was still dressed in men's clothes. Nangong Xuan asked casually: "Ayue, what are you doing, still wearing men's clothes?"
Seeing that he asked casually, Shen Lian responded casually. "It's nothing. I'm just going to see a friend and comfort her. As for wearing men's clothes, it's because... there are more men in that place, and women dress up before It’s not very convenient to go. Dad, why are you looking for me?”
Nangong Xuan did not dwell on this matter, "It's nothing, Dad thought, and I haven't seen you for most of the day. So I came to see you to see how your calligraphy and calligraphy are doing." I know that Nangong Yue is interested in martial arts and the art of war, and she is not bad in learning. However, when she faces these poems, songs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is not very good, and she can only pass the test so-so.
Therefore, he often took the time to see how she was doing in this area. Shen Lian did not hesitate and went directly to his side. Then she picked up the ink in the inkstone and started sharpening it. , she took out a pen from the pen holder and started writing on the rice paper. She was able to write smoothly and smoothly, writing in one go.
As for her handwriting, Shen Lian had specially practiced it, but the handwriting she had just written also catered to the original owner's handwriting. Therefore, it seemed that this line of handwriting was elegant and graceful. The wet ink smudged out a faint ethereal quality. Of course, there are shortcomings in its beauty. But compared to the previous ones, Ah Yue’s calligraphy is much better now.
If it weren't for the fact that she had written it with her own hand, which was somewhat similar to the previous calligraphy, Nangong Xuan would have almost thought that it was not written by A Yue. "Okay, very good, A Yue's handwriting has improved. In the future, we have to continue Work hard, not only to practice calligraphy, but also to practice piano, chess, and painting, you know?" Faced with her father's sincere teachings, Shen Lian readily accepted it.
After staying in the study for a while, she left and went back to her boudoir. Not long after Shen Lian returned to her room, she heard Dongxia announcing outside the door that someone from the Qing Palace was coming. It must be Sister A, The person sent arrived. Shen Lian stood up and went forward to greet him. As the door opened, Qiu Feng, the personal maid next to Sister, stood outside.
Qiu Feng was a maid from Nangong Mansion, and she was also a caring girl who had been with my sister for many years. She never left my sister's side, so why did she come here today? At that time, Shen Lian had already changed into women's clothes. "Qiu Feng, What's the matter? Sister asked you to come?"
"Yes, girl." Qiu Feng nodded and saluted her with a smile. "That's it. Our girl suddenly felt uneasy in the palace today and was worried about whether something happened to her relatives. So she sent the slave girl. Come and take a look, I just went to see the master and now I’m here to see the girl. How is the girl today?"
It turned out that Sister A was worried about her, and Shen Lian suddenly felt at ease, "Qiu Feng went back and told Sister that I am very fine. Besides, in this Nangong Mansion, in my own family, what can happen to me?"
Qiu Feng blessed Fu again, "Okay, I will tell my girl. Girl, I will go back to the palace first." After watching Qiu Feng leave, Shen Lian turned around and went back to his room.
As soon as she came in, Dongxia followed her in. "Girl, the eldest lady really cares about you. Even though she has married into the Qing Palace, the eldest lady is still concerned about you. But girl, in a place like this, We'd better not go there again. You don't know, but I was quite frightened there. I've been worried that something would come out, and if the master and the eldest girl discovered it, I might not be able to save my skin."
"When did my father and sister become so cruel and even have to peel off their skin and bones?" Shen Lian deliberately teased her.
Dongxia waved her hands repeatedly, "No, that's not what I mean. It's just a metaphor. The master has always been kind. The most he can do is to expel the slave from the house. But the slave will never leave the girl."
"If you get married in the future, you won't leave?"
Dongxia said seriously: "I don't want to get married. I have to accompany the girl to marry her husband's family. At that time, the girl will definitely feel uncomfortable in her husband's house. But with the slave accompanying me, there will always be someone to talk to. Yeah. Right, girl?"
Shen Lian knew that in ancient times, personal slaves would marry into their husband's family along with the young lady. However, she did not want to delay the girl's youth, "If you really never marry, wouldn't I become a big sinner? You Look at you, such a pretty little girl, what a pity it would be if you didn’t marry because of me."
Dongxia thought about it seriously, and then made another suggestion. "Girl, if you are worried about this, marry the slave to an attendant of your husband's family. In this case, we can still be together without being separated. And the slave will also marry If you have someone else, the girl will not have to worry about being lonely. Girl, do you think this is good?"
She is really loyal and always thinks about herself. Even if she gets married in the future, it will still be for her. Shen Lian was very touched. Dongxia is the same age as Nangong Yue. Seriously, she is a few months younger than Nangong Yue. .So, Shen Lian can be regarded as her sister. Since coming to this world, although the road to love has been difficult.
However, she gained family affection. For example, Nangong Xue's love for her sister, Nangong Xuan's love for her little daughter, and Dong Xia's love for her as a girl and sister. They all moved her deeply. , it turns out that you can also experience the deep feeling of family affection here. Thinking about it this way, she missed her parents who were far away in modern times.
Although to her parents, she had only been away for most of the day. But to Shen Lian, she had been away for many years. I don't know when she would be able to return to modern times and reunite with them.
Seeing that she was distracted, Dongxia reached out and shook her hand a few times. "Girl, what are you thinking about?"
Shen Lian shook her head. She didn't think about anything. She just missed her modern parents. But now, she couldn't see them anyway. She could only miss them.
Nangong Xuan's temperament is different from that of Shen Lian's modern father. Her father is a good old man who lets her do everything and dotes on her; but Nangong Xuan is different. Although he dotes on his daughter, he also imposes strict requirements on her. .Moreover, he kills decisively and is definitely not a good guy.
As for Nangong Xue, she has no sister in modern times. To be precise, she is an only child and does not have any brothers and sisters. Here, she suddenly has a sister, a sister who loves and cares for her. This feeling makes Shen Lian She feels it is very rare and fresh. Even if it is not for the original owner, she will protect this sister.
