Chapter 84 Green Plum and Bamboo Horse
Erbao Lin Ruixi looked at Shen Yunqing in a mess and looked more pitiful than before, so he quickly squatted down to help him wipe the dirt off his body, and comforted him in a warm voice while wiping:
"Brother, don't be afraid. If he dares to bully you again in the future, I will beat him for you."
Han Shi and Shen Jiaerlang were listening, all covered in goose bumps.
Shen Jiaerlang wanted to fight back, but was stopped secretly by Han.
This little action immediately caught Chu Nanzhi's attention. She sized up the two meaningfully, pretending not to know, and asked suspiciously: "This young man must be the child of the second room, right?"
Han nodded in agreement: "That's true, he is the second son of my uncle's wife."
"This little gentleman knows how to run a family better than your son."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the resentful Shen Jiaerlang, and smiled meaningfully.
"Miss Chu was joking. This child is close to the slave family, so he often comes to visit the slave family. In the future, my son Yunqing will naturally be in charge of the family."
Han Shi said this, but her attention was not on Shen Yunqing, she touched Shen Erlang with eyes full of kindness, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and explained to Chu Nanzhi: "He is actually a very filial child. She is very well-behaved, I was afraid I was just playing around with Yun Qing, so please don't be surprised by the things between the children, Mrs. Chu."
Seeing her serious nonsense, Chu Nanzhi almost burst out laughing.
I'm afraid this woman might have misunderstood filial piety and obedience.
But since she decided so, Chu Nanzhi had no choice but to agree: "Yes, this child is really well-behaved."
It was a short sentence, but the tone was very long.
Mrs. Han could hear that there was a bit of a stick in her words, but she pretended that nothing happened and went to help Shen Yunqing, and patiently taught: "Yunqing, if you have anything to discuss with your mother, you can just give it to me." Why do you have to carry your mother behind your back when it comes to cashing in money?"
It was obviously a very kind move, but Chu Nanzhi clearly saw that when Han's hand touched Shen Yunqing's arm, the little guy subconsciously dodged slightly.
And take a closer look at the little man in front of him, he has a handsome face, very much like an actor who played the male lead on TV when he was a child.
Chu Nanzhi thought for a while, "Xiao Yehua."
Well, it's so cute.
She couldn't help but went over and touched Shen Yunqing's head, and asked softly: "How old is Xiao Langjun this year?"
Shen Yunqing did not dodge, and bowed respectfully to Chu Nanzhi, and then replied respectfully: "As for the lady of the Chu family, this junior is seven years old."
"So good."
Chu Nanzhi looked at him with a very kind smile.
She was not born and raised in this era, so she doesn't have any prejudice against concubines. She can even accept a little son-in-law. Seeing such a handsome little man naturally feels more pity.
But seeing her actions, Mrs. Han couldn't help but feel sour, and she still pretended not to care and said with a smile:
"I'm not afraid that Mrs. Chu will laugh at my slave's self-promotion. My family, Yun Qing, has been raised in the slave's courtyard since he was a child. He is very sensible. Anyone who sees him will praise him."
Chu Nanzhi just laughed and said nothing.
Isn't this just bragging, forcing yourself to admit that she educated her children well?
But Mrs. Han was not prepared to care about her opinion, she pulled Shen Yunqing into the room and said softly, "Miss Chu, please go sit in the front hall with my slave."
"it is good."
Chu Nanzhi was still thinking about the tea leaves in her room, and she didn't refuse, leading Er Bao and Si Bao to follow the Shen family back to the front hall with confidence and boldness.
Although the Shen family is not as grand as Zhao Taigong's mansion, it is also a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits that only a wealthy family can live in.
It was the first time for Er Bao to enter such a luxurious courtyard, and it was an eye-opener. From time to time, he looked around, causing Shen Jia Erlang to look at the mother and daughter with contemptuous eyes.
Chu Nanzhi also noticed that Er Bao is not as cute and calm as Si Bao, who is so small. When encountering a problem, no matter the other party's name or name, she just rushes up directly.
Today, Japan came here to investigate the case. She was afraid that this little guy would cause some troubles again, so she kept an eye on her carefully.
When they reached the front hall, Mrs. Han asked someone to serve tea. Chu Nanzhi politely pretended to take a sip, but didn't dare to drink it, and then hurriedly asked her to bring up the remaining honeysuckle tea.
It was just the tea leaves brought by Mrs. Han. She checked it over and over again, but she didn't see anything tricky.
It seems that the people behind the scenes really just want to target Shen Yang.
At this time, Li Sanmu came in from the outside, Chu Nanzhi handed over the tea leaves to him, and ordered him to keep them properly, while she asked to go to Shen Yang's courtyard for inspection.
Judging from the current situation, going to Shen Yang's courtyard will definitely not find any clues. What she did was nothing more than a formality.
Arriving at Shen Yang's courtyard, Han felt hurt and couldn't help sobbing softly again:
"Uh-huh. Uh-huh, this sister of the slave family is actually a hard-working person. The slave family really can't think of any reason for her to murder her deceased husband. She was kind enough to accept her into the family for the sake of extending the family. I never thought that such a thing would happen. Even if I die, I am afraid that I will have no face to face my dead husband again."
"Death cannot be brought back to life, Ms. Han's condolences."
Chu Nanzhi saw how real she was crying, and her heart was touched, so she couldn't help but comfort her.
After getting in touch with Han Shi, she has already noticed that this woman is quite wealthy, but in order not to arouse this person's vigilance, she deliberately asked:
"I heard that Mrs. Han is very kind to Mrs. Shen Yang, and they get along very well with each other. Presumably, she should know her quite a bit. I wonder if Mrs. Han knows what enemies this Mrs. Shen Yang has outside before entering the mansion? "
"Hey, what enemies does she have?"
Han Shi forced tears away, and without thinking, she answered simply and neatly: "My younger sister escaped from the south at the beginning, and the slave family took her into the house when they saw how pitiful she was, and there were no relatives at home. What kind of enemy, after entering the mansion all day long, not even the neighbors can recognize them all."
"He is a conscientious person."
Chu Nanzhi nodded in thought, and then looked up and down in the courtyard: "Does anyone come in this courtyard on weekdays?"
"That's impossible."
Han wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes slowly, and finally stabilized his mood: "Although our Shen family is not a famous family, we can be regarded as a tight-knit family in the village anyway. Except for Nujia and Yunqing, only the late husband comes here occasionally."
But as soon as she finished speaking, she fell into hesitation.
So far, she has never figured out what the purpose of this Chu family lady leading the official sent here is.
Glancing at Li Sanmu who had been keeping a cold face aside, she quickly added: "Oh, these days, my family has also heard about my sister and Mr. Wei's family. Please don't pay attention to those gossips, Mrs. Chu."
After finishing speaking, he dragged Chu Nanzhi back to the front hall, for fear that they would stay here longer.
In the living room, Shen Jia Erlang was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, holding a peeled banana in one hand and nibbling an apple in the other, with a very relaxed and comfortable expression.
Er Bao and Si Bao sat aside and stared at the bananas and apples in his hand, their eyes rolling around.
And Shen Yunqing sat at the bottom of the hall with his head buried tightly, and he didn't dare to say anything with an honest look.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Han walked up quickly with an embarrassed expression, and scolded her son angrily: "Yun Qing, you didn't say hello to the two younger sisters, quickly give them apples and bananas."
Then he looked at Chu Nanzhi apologetically, and blamed himself: "Nu Jiajing is busy making Mrs. Chu worry about my little sister, and neglecting the two young guests is really rude."
"Ms. Han's words are serious, but I brought my two children here to cause you trouble."
"Where, where."
The two exchanged a few words of humility to each other, and Chu Nanzhi also saw that the Han family didn't like these two little treasures.
It seems that what Erbao Lin Ruixi said just now offended the woman, so she didn't invite her to see her.
Otherwise, the fruit plate on the table had been left for so long, she wouldn't have thought of caring about the two children just now.
Seeing Shen Yunqing holding two apples and two bananas and handing them to Er Bao and Si Bao with a sincere face, but the two little guys hesitated to take them, the panic expression on the childish face made Chu Nanzhi As if he noticed something, he quickly said to the little guys:
"Second Treasure, Four Treasure, Big Brother gave it to you, you just accept it."
