Chapter 415: Apology
After taking a shower, Jiang Fubao felt fragrant and all the fatigue of the day disappeared.
After changing into gauze clothes, I feel much cooler.
The red and purple sunset outside was imprinted on her face.
Her face looks pink and tender, as if she had applied a layer of natural blush.
Jiang Fubao walked down the stairs and took Xuehuan to the courtyard, preparing to have dinner with his family.
However, when she entered the yard, she saw the young man.
They looked at each other.
One frowned, the other smiled brightly.
"Why did you break into my house?" Jiang Fubao glared at him.
"Fubao! You misunderstood. This person is the kid from the Shen family. Have you forgotten? Back then, grandma carried his mother to the coffin shop. Uh... cough cough, do you remember?"
Zhang Jinlan saw that her granddaughter had a very bad attitude towards him.
Explain quickly.
However, she shut her mouth halfway through her speech.
After all, the Shen family kid's biological mother has passed away, and it doesn't feel right to expose his scars in front of him.
Zhang Jinlan pretended to cough twice to cover up her embarrassment.
"Shen?" Although Jiang Fubao remembered this person, he couldn't remember his name.
At first, when she first came here.
Poor mice at home are not visited.
The first time I went to the town with my grandma.
Then I met this young man.
His mother was poisoned, and his grandmother carried the body for money.
She will never forget this incident in her life.
When people are poor, they can do anything.
She admired grandma's courage.
Even if the family has been wealthy for several years.
Jiang Fubao still remembers the time when his family was the poorest.
"My name is Shen Hechi. It was my fault just now. I just came back from Jiangnan and brought a lot of things with me. It was inconvenient to carry them. When I saw that there was no one in the alley, I asked the carriage to go into the alley so that the servants could carry the things into the mansion. I didn't expect that I would delay Sister Jiang's return home.
I am really sorry, this little toy is very popular among Jiangnan women, many people bought it to play with, I wanted to give it to my sister, but she is still young, so now I will give it to you, Jiang sister, as a compensation gift, please forgive me. "
Shen Hechi saw that Jiang Fubao had forgotten his name.
There was a hint of loss in his eyes.
But it was soon forgotten.
He pulled out a small ornament carved from pure gold from his wide sleeve.
It is a hollow circle with exquisite workmanship. There is a pearl-sized gold bead inside and a long tassel hanging below.
If you wear it around your waist, the jingling sound when you walk must be very pleasant to hear.
This accessory.
Not to mention that it is made entirely of gold.
Even if the gold plating is worthless, it can be sold for at least seven or eight taels of silver based on the craftsmanship.
What's more, it looks like real gold.
That's even more expensive.
At least thirty taels or more.
Jiang Fubao didn't answer.
"So it's you. That's all right. It's fine to stand for a while. I don't move much on weekdays. This thing is too expensive. You can give it to your sister. I don't want it. I have a lot of waist ornaments. My grandma bought me a golden bell before the New Year. It's almost as good-looking as this one."
Since they are acquaintances, what else can she say?
Jiang Fubao's anger disappeared instantly.
Her brows relaxed.
She even showed off the golden bell her grandma bought for her.
It's worth twenty taels, just a little less than this.
It is the most expensive gold waist pendant in the jewelry shop in the town.
After all, Lianshan Town cannot compare to the south of the Yangtze River.
"Please accept it. My sister is still young. I originally wanted to give it to her when she grows up. Unfortunately, if something is not worn and is put in a box, it will not shine when it is taken out in a few years. Consider it as an apology. Only if Sister Jiang accepts it can I feel at ease. I am really sorry for what I did just now. When I said Sister Jiang looked familiar, I also recognized you. Sister Jiang, please don't misunderstand me."
Shen Hechi explained one more sentence.
After saying this, he placed the gold hollow waist pendant on the stone table in the yard.
Walk away quickly.
I can't even stop it.
"This child is still so honest. Judging from his complexion, he is doing well. After all, he has become a scholar, and his aunt doesn't dare to bully him anymore. Fubao, you should accept it as a gift from him. If someone insists on giving it to you, it's not good to refuse it. Wear it around your waist tomorrow and let grandma see if it looks good."
Jiang Fubao just finished taking a shower.
He was wearing plain home-colored clothes.
There is no place to hang accessories around the waist.
Otherwise, Zhang Jinlan would be hung up now.
"Well, grandma just said he was a scholar?" Jiang Fubao walked to the stone table, picked up the gold hollow waist pendant and shook it.
The sound of the bell is crisp and pleasant.
"Yes, we just talked for a long time. I wanted to call you earlier, but the maid said you were bathing in the room. So forget it. This kid from the Shen family has become successful now. He seems to be only eleven years old, right?
He is a scholar, and he has a bright future. He is so capable. If his aunt does not humble herself, she will be punished by him. After all, the Shen family only has this one male. "
Zhang Jinlan explained to her granddaughter.
"Who is the sister he is talking about?" Jiang Fubao suddenly became curious.
From what Shen Hechi said, his sister is still young. Could it be that she was born to Shen's concubine?
Why is he so good to his sister, a child born to a concubine?
After all, his mother's death was most likely related to this aunt.
"I don't know about that. We've lived here for so long, and we haven't heard any baby crying across the street. Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. The food is here. Fubao, hurry up and eat at the table."
Zhang Jinlan was a little hungry.
She walked into the main hall and sat in the main seat with Jiang Shoujia.
Waiting for everyone to arrive.
Then they started eating.
Although the Jiang family is rich now, they don't like maids to serve them food.
I am still used to picking up food and eating it myself.
There were only members of the Jiang family in the main hall.
The maids and servants all went to the backyard to eat.
When Shen Hechi returned home, he always had a smile on his face.
However, after seeing Aunt Duan.
The smile disappeared instantly.
"Chi'er, where have you been? The servants said you went out. I have been waiting for you here for a long time. Your father has also been waiting for you to eat in the main hall. Go quickly, or the food will get cold."
Duan Lian'er smiled with his mouth, but his eyes did not.
She walked to Shen Hechi enthusiastically.
I want to go to the main room with him.
The result was just lifting my feet.
Shen Hechi ignored her.
He walked forward alone.
She couldn't catch up with him even though he was walking so fast.
"You finally decided to come back? Where have you been? Don't you know it's time to eat? You made your aunt and I wait for you for such a long time. Do you still have the words courtesy and filial piety in your eyes?" Just arrived at the main room.
Shen Zhong, with a stern face, slammed the table.
questioned.
"I'm just running errands. I didn't ask you to wait. If you don't like me, why did you write to me and ask me to come back?"
Shen Hechi didn't smile either.
He walked to the basin, washed his hands, took the towel handed to him by the maid, wiped himself clean, and sat down to eat.
He didn't care whether his father moved his chopsticks or not.
"Rebellious son, rebellious son!! You..." Shen Zhong was about to get angry.
Duan Lian'er came in.
