Chapter 41 New Year Picture Dolls and Master Shen

The little kid used his short legs to run even faster.

She is not an irresponsible person! She is serious about protecting her brother!

It’s easy to meet the King of Hell, but hard to deal with the little devils. In many TV shows, to conquer a family, you first have to give money to their doorman!! So her task is to deal with the doorman first and pave the way for the brothers who are doing business for the first time.

She ran so decisively, so decisively that... she even forgot to take the money.

While Brother Tang was grabbing his sister with one hand, Naituanzi had already walked to the door.

The door was open, and a young man in a blue shirt was directing people back and forth, preparing carriages in advance according to the identities of the guests and the order of their departure.

Naituanzi spotted him in the crowd at a glance.

Before the two siblings could say anything, the young man had already seen them, walked over and asked with a smile, "Who are you two?"

He thought it was a family member or servant of a guest, so his attitude was quite polite.

Brother Tang said anxiously: "I'm sorry, my sister..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the little boy had already put his hands together and bowed, saying in a sweet and soft voice, "I wish you good health, Uncle Butler! I wish you good fortune and prosperity! I wish you a long and healthy life!"

The young man was amused by her.

Although Naituanzi's clothes are not luxurious, she is really cute, as delicate as a piece of jade. The way she looks with her little face tilted up, she looks like a doll in a New Year picture.

Moreover, he was actually just a small steward, not a housekeeper. After hearing these auspicious words, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Little kid has a sweet mouth. What's the matter?"

Naituanzi said obediently: "Uncle, Didi and I came out to sell candy wrappers. Can we sell them there?" She pointed with her little hand.

The young man frowned, glanced at Fourth Brother Tang who looked slightly anxious in the distance, and understood.

He was very friendly and said with a smile: "Little kid, it's not that uncle doesn't agree, but our host is having a wedding today, and the guests will all be out soon. No one will buy your candy, so why don't you go to the market?"

Naituanzi was not willing to give in and wanted to speak, but Brother Tang gently held her head and wiped it down, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, uncle." Then he picked up her.

"Okay," the little boy frowned, but still listened to his brother and said to him, "Thank you, uncle."

Brother Tang carried her and left.

No one noticed that there was a thin old man standing far away in the corridor, staring at this side, and only walked over at this time.

The young man hurriedly greeted: "Second Master."

"Yeah." Master Shen looked at the little girl who was taken away. Seeing that she was still looking at him eagerly, he couldn't help but smile and waved, "Little baby, come here."

Brother Tang was stunned and turned around.

But the little girl's eyes lit up, and she immediately shook her legs, broke free from her brother's hand, and ran over quickly, still clasping her hands together and bowing: "Happy birthday, An'an."

Mr. Shen couldn't help but smile.

Brother Tang also bowed and said, "My sister..."

Master Shen waved at him, bent down and said to Naituanzi, "Little kid, do you want to sell candy here?"

Milk ball nodded, and Mr. Shen said with a smile: "It's not impossible to sell things at my door, but my family is celebrating a birthday today, so you have to send a birthday gift first."

Milk ball was stunned.

She blinked her eyes and immediately came up with the most economical and affordable solution: "Xinbao will sing a birthday song for you!"

Without waiting for his response, she sang quickly: "I wish you a long life and good fortune, congratulations on your birthday, every year has this day, every year has this day, congratulations to you, congratulations to you..."

She sang very seriously and even sang with movements, making her look more like a New Year picture doll.

Mr. Shen obviously didn't expect this and was stunned.

After a while, he laughed repeatedly, stroked his beard and said to the young man next to him: "Anping, grab a handful of peanuts for the kid."

The young man quickly responded, turned around and trotted away.

Mr. Shen smiled, lifted his robe, squatted down, and said to Naituanzi, "Your name is Xinbao?"

Naituanzi nodded, and Master Shen smiled gently, "Uncle is not the birthday star. The one who is celebrating today is uncle's mother... Xinbao sang very well, but uncle still wants a piece of candy. Uncle can go back and give it to the birthday star as a birthday gift, okay?"

The little girl nodded without hesitation, her little mouth was as bright as honey, her mind was brighter: "Happy birthday, grandma, eat some candy, may your life be sweet and you live a long and happy life!"

Mr. Shen laughed out loud.

Anping brought out a large fruit plate. The old man grabbed two handfuls of peanuts and put them in her small pocket. Then she pointed to the Shangma Stone not far away and told them to spread mats behind it and sell candies. She also asked Anshun to get them two small stools.

The fourth brother was not very skilled and wrapped two large candies for him. He wanted to wrap more, but Master Shen stopped him with a smile: "No need. My mother is old, one is enough."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

He took it in.

In fact, this was just a coincidence. Back then, his mother and he and his brother survived the most difficult days by selling candy wrappers. Now his mother is celebrating her 80th birthday, and he is also over 50 years old. Decades have passed in a flash. When he suddenly saw someone selling candy wrappers, he felt deeply moved and couldn't help but take care of them.

He went in, handed the candy wrapper to his mother, and told her what happened with a smile.

The old mother couldn't help but nod: "It's indeed a coincidence."

She is old and hasn't eaten this for many years. She looked at it carefully for a few times, put it in her mouth, and couldn't help crying: "It tastes the same. It's been half a lifetime, but it still tastes the same."

The guests have not left yet, and the old mother is surrounded by elderly people.

They immediately came to comfort and try to please him, and expressed their admiration for Mr. Shen's filial piety.

Although the book says that Lao Laizi entertained his parents with colorful clothes, there are very few people who live to be in their forties and still do such things personally. But Master Shen did it very naturally. Others say that Master Shen was a man of the world who came from a humble background, but isn't he quite gentleman?

After Master Shen came out, he asked An Shun, "Are you willing to follow me?"

Anshun was stunned.

Mr. Shen smiled and said, "My previous housekeeper has been sent out to do some work. I have no one on hand, so it is inconvenient to do anything. If you are willing, I will ask my mother for you to come."

Anshun was delighted and immediately crawled down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Second Master! Thank you, Second Master!"

He never expected that after being called a butler by that baby, he would actually get a job as a butler!

The Shen family is wealthy and has a big business, but their base is not in this small county town. It's because Shen's mother is old and misses her hometown, and she wanted to return to her roots, so she came back here two or three years ago.

Mr. Shen came with his mother, but he did not live with her. The old lady was old, and she only had a few old ladies who came to visit her. She usually rested and did not have much to do, so it would not be good to have too few people to serve her.

Mr. Shen is obsessed with flowers and trades them every day, so he lives in Liujin Garden not far away. He buys and sells a lot of flowers, so this is definitely a promotion.

Anshun was overjoyed.

When sending these people off, she worked twice as hard and chatted with Naituanzi or her brother from time to time, as if they were very familiar with each other.

After all, those who came here to celebrate the birthday were more or less here to curry favor with the Shen family. Second Master Shen presented the "birthday gifts" in public and brought up old things. It seemed that these people were not showing their sincerity if they didn't buy one.
