Chapter 187: Live for Face
Xinbao had never seen someone who didn't know how to amuse a child but tried hard to do it.
She looked at him with her big eyes, understood, and comforted him: "Don't worry, even if you are a bad old man, Xinbao will not pretend to be good."
The elder said: "That's not what I meant..."
Yan Shenjue spoke again: "Uncle!!"
He finally understood that the elder was probably just curious.
After all, as long as he was with Xinbao, all his bad luck would disappear, which was already very curious; Xinbao knew medicinal herbs, planted them, and used them without any training, and even knew herbs that Yuanshen Doctor didn't know, which was even more curious.
So he wanted to know why this milk ball was so weird.
But he didn't know how to amuse children, so he just kept making small talk and confused Tuanzi with his questions.
Yan Shenjue turned around and asked Tuanzi right in front of him: "Xinbao, why are you so blessed?"
Xinbao said proudly: "Because Xinbao is thin and pretty."
"Then why do you know about herbs?"
"Because Xinbao is bright and cute."
He looked at the old man, as if to say, "Do you understand?" She herself didn't know.
The elder understood.
After understanding, he became even more puzzled and stared at Xinbao.
He stopped talking, and Yan Shenjue fed Tuanzi step by step. While feeding, he also ate. Xinbao drank the porridge with a spoon, and occasionally fed him a spoonful, and he lowered his head to drink it. The two of them got along tacitly and naturally...
At the Shen family.
After lunch, Brother Tang Si told Anshun that he wanted to go back to Yutang Village.
An Shun told Master Shen, and Master Shen came over and said to him, "You don't have to go back. This is not a big deal. I will handle it. You don't need to tell your parents."
"I know." Fourth Brother Tang said in a soft voice, "I know that uncle loves me, and I know that this matter is not a big deal. But Xiao Jue is angry because of Xin Bao, so I want to go back and tell Brother Da Yuan and Brother Xiao Yuan that we can follow them to find Xiao Jue to play. This is originally our children's business, and there is no need to alarm the adults."
Master Shen smiled and said, "No, why bother running around? I'll take care of it."
Fourth Brother Tang said: "Uncle..."
Master Shen stood up and patted his head: "Be obedient and go back first. If your uncle needs you, he won't be polite to you."
Fourth Brother Tang had no choice but to retreat.
Seeing him leave, Master Shen couldn't help but say to An Shun: "This child is worried about me, can you see that?"
"Yes," Anshun said with a smile, "I don't say anything bad about the master, nor do I say anything bad about Young Master Yan. Although it's just childish words, they are kind."
"Yes!" Master Shen sighed, "Tell me, tell me how Tang Qingshan raised these children? These children have different temperaments, but they are all lovable!"
Anshun echoed the other's words and said, "Then how about I run a trip?"
Mr. Shen was silent in silence.
He is a man of the underworld, and is not on the same path as the "officials". I wouldn't say I'm afraid of him, but there's no need to offend him either.
Yan Shenjue is only ten years old, neither old nor young. Now that he has left in anger... he should pay him a proper visit. Firstly, it would appear that he is trying to curry favor with the powerful. Secondly, if Marquis Jingxing does not give him face, their relationship would become strained and he would not be able to back down as he also needs to save face.
But he was an earl and had a high status. If he sent servants to take care of the household, he would be afraid of neglecting them.
I guess Fourth Brother Tang also thought of this, so he suggested that he go back and call for help.
But even if we go through the Tang family and then contact the Shangyuan brothers, the situation is still similar, it is still a detour, not thorough and not beautiful.
Mr. Shen finally said, "Prepare some interesting things for the children and ask Xiaoyu to go with them."
Shen Zhuoli is his grandson and also his master. It is a more appropriate approach for a child to treat another child properly, and they can advance or retreat.
He was just worried that Shen Zhuoli had never done such a thing before, and the other party was a great scholar who valued rules, so he would not know how to deal with it.
An Shun responded and went out. After a while, he came back running and said happily, "Master, the Yuan family sent someone to deliver the invitation."
"Oh?" Mr. Shen said, "Please come in."
Housekeeper Zhou came in, handed over the invitation with both hands, bowed and smiled, "My master said that because Master Yan has been in poor health since childhood, he was spoiled and had poor manners. When he went back this morning, the master didn't pay attention to it. When Miss Xinbao fell asleep, he asked her and found out that Master Yan came to your house for free and lived for several days. He also got angry with the people in your house. The master scolded him. Now he asked me to bring the invitation again. Let's see when Master Shen is free. Our master wants to come to visit and take a look at the garden of the house. He also wants to send Master Yan and Miss Xinbao back so that they can continue to make trouble for Master Shen."
These words were said in a very casual and friendly manner, which really gave him enough face.
What do people in the underworld live for? They live for face!!
Master Shen smiled and said, "Butler Zhou, you are joking. I am a lazy person. You can come anytime. I welcome you very much!"
The two sides exchanged some pleasantries and finally decided to come early tomorrow morning. Then Butler Zhou took his leave, and Master Shen sent him to the entrance of the hall and gestured to Anshun.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
As Anshun sent him out, he told them a few things about Master Shen, and then came back and said, "Master, Butler Zhou is very kind, unlike in the store."
Master Shen nodded: "It seems that this Jingxing Earl is not as strange and arrogant as the world says."
No matter what he did, there would be shortcomings in the first place, but once Yuanfu sent this note, things became perfect!
Master Shen said, "Hurry up and ask someone to prepare well!"
Anshun responded quickly and trotted out.
As a result, when it was time for dinner, Huo Yuntao hurried back and said as soon as he saw me: "Master! This time, you don't have to worry about offending the Yuan Mansion!"
Master Shen asked, "What?"
Huo Yuntao said: "I just wanted to scare that guy, so I spread out my hands, and then I accidentally found out something."
He stopped and looked at him with a smile.
Master Shen laughed and scolded: "Why keep me in suspense? Hurry up and tell me!!"
Huo Yuntao then said with a smile.
A while ago, Zhu Yinzhong, the brother-in-law of Lord Bu Zheng, came over to deal with the Tang family, but Second Master Shen happened to be there and beat them back. At that time, Huo Yuntao also sent people to investigate.
But he became obedient and quiet, so Huo Yuntao withdrew his men and no longer paid any attention to him.
By now the construction of the Xiaoxie Tomb had been completed, but Zhu Yinzhong had not left yet and was wandering around here. As a result, the second young master Chen actually came yesterday.
It is said that Mr. Chen Er was very dissatisfied after receiving Zhu Yinzhong's letter, so he came here secretly without telling his family.
When Zhu Yinzhong saw this person coming, he secretly groaned in his heart, but he still had to serve him diligently.
They were in the restaurant yesterday, and it was said that more than one person heard the second son of Chen yelling drunkenly, saying something like "Jingxing Bo is shit! My father said that the emperor has already abandoned him!!"
The second young master Chen had already been spoiled by his good stepmother, and he was now an old naughty child who was ignorant of the world.
He didn't know that even the emperor couldn't do things based solely on his likes and dislikes.
Yuan Weiming was the emperor's tutor for two generations in his family. Even if the emperor really disliked him, as long as he did not commit any serious crime like treason, the emperor would never treat him badly in public.
What's more, whether or not one is disgusted is just a private guess among the subordinates, and even this question should not be spoken out loud, because what is this called? This is called guessing the emperor's intentions!
Even if all officials are trying to figure out the emperor's intention, they must not speak it out loud! !
