It seems to be the one I gave to Xiao Yan that day...
So, the reason Xiao Yan said that the flute was very important to him that day was because he wanted to give it to his beloved?
Coming to her senses, Shen Qiyin stepped aside and said, "Sorry."
The other person shook their head slightly, said nothing, and then got into the carriage with the help of the maid.
Shen Qiyin stood still and did not move.
"Why aren't you going in, Miss?" The Thousand Eagle Guard who had gambled away Shen Qiyin's money that day passed by the gate and saw Shen Qiyin standing there in a daze, so he went to greet her.
Following the direction of her gaze, Chen Bao glanced at her and said knowingly, "Oh, that's Miss Song from the Marquis of Jianning's residence, here to see our master."
"……oh."
No wonder she saw the words "Song Mansion" on the carriage.
It turns out she's the daughter of the Marquis of Jianning.
"Girl, let's go. Brother Xiong is waiting for you." Chen Bao said as he took the things that Shen Qiyin was carrying.
"What's up?"
"Heh, heh heh." Chen Bao scratched his head, but then kept everyone in suspense: "You'll know when you see him, girl."
After speaking, he gestured for her to enter, and they walked in side by side, chatting and laughing, their tone familiar.
Inside the carriage, a corner of the curtain was lifted, and a pair of bright eyes took in the entire scene.
Shen Xiyin was unaware of this.
As usual, she went to change Qianxing's dressing first. When she came out, she saw Xionglu standing not far away with an excited look on his face. It seemed that he was waiting for her.
"What brings you here, Brother Xiong?"
"Hmm..." Xionglu seemed a little hesitant to speak: "Didn't Honeysuckle come with you today?"
"She went to the music academy to learn her craft." Shen Qiyin, understanding the implied meaning from the music, tentatively asked him, "Do you need to see Rendong about something?"
"……ah."
The burly man, as strong as a mountain, suddenly became coy.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "Miss, you don't know this, but I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. Unlike Feng Liu and Qian Xing, who cultivate internal energy, I practice hard skills."
"This skill is easy to learn, but to reach the pinnacle is as difficult as ascending to heaven."
"Therefore, my master only had me as his disciple until his death."
"But that day I saw that Honeysuckle Girl had a small frame but great strength, and I knew that she was definitely a good candidate for practicing hard kung fu!"
At this point, Shen Qiyin had a vague idea: "So you want to..."
"I want to take on a disciple on behalf of my master and teach Ren Dong all that I have learned in my life! With her physical condition, given time, she will surely achieve great things!"
"I wonder if the young lady would be willing to grant my request?"
The bear and deer looked on expectantly, their eyes shining brightly.
He thought Shen Qiyin would either agree or refuse, but to his surprise, she replied, "This is Ren Dong's matter; it's entirely up to her to decide."
In fact, when she first decided to send Ren Dong to learn martial arts, Ren Dong had said that she wanted to learn martial arts.
But in the end, he didn't learn it.
Firstly, martial arts schools that offer classes do not accept female students.
Secondly, Ren Dong was past the age of learning martial arts, so she had to give up.
Unexpectedly, a pleasant surprise has arrived.
"I'll go back and ask her opinion, then I'll give Brother Xiong an answer. Is that alright?"
"……good!"
The bear and deer reacted somewhat blankly.
After a moment of stunned silence, he smiled knowingly and said, "Although you and Ren Dong are nominally mistress and servant, I see that you treat her as if she were your own sister."
Unexpectedly, Shen Qiyin shook her head and denied it: "I don't treat my own sister like that."
My younger sister is for teasing.
Having agreed with Xiong Lu to reply to him the next day, Shen Qiyin went to the dark prison to find Xiao Yan, intending to return the cloak to him.
Unfortunately, when she arrived, he was downstairs interrogating criminals.
She originally intended to leave her things behind and go, but Chen Bao rushed downstairs as if his pants were on fire, saying to her as he ran, "Hey, girl, don't be in such a hurry to leave, I'll go and call the adults up for you."
"No need..." for trouble.
Before she could finish speaking, Chen Bao had already disappeared.
Helpless, she could only wait for Xiao Yan to return.
She thought she would have to wait quite a while, but before she had even finished counting the steps of one floor, he appeared in front of her.
Shen Qiyin immediately smiled and stood at attention: "Greetings, Your Excellency."
She handed him the neatly folded cloak: "It's washed clean." And it smells wonderful.
Xiao Yan took it and faintly smelled the fragrance of sandalwood.
Just like the smell on her.
That day on the rooftop, when he stood behind her and helped her take down the highest black jade flute, they were quite close, and he smelled a very faint fragrance on her.
It is gentle, mellow, and gives people a very calm feeling.
"And this too." Like a squirrel returning a favor, she presented him with a long box.
Xiao Yan opened it and found a scroll inside.
It is a painting.
As he slowly unfolded the gift, Shen Qiyin explained from the side, "I hastily prepared a gift for your birthday, and I felt very ashamed."
"So, having had some free time recently, I quickly made a replacement. I hope you won't find it offensive."
Xiao Yan wouldn't mind... Yeah, right!
Feng Liu glanced at it and almost let out a scream.
Good heavens, this is a critical hit right from the start!
It's full of turtles!
He tentatively asked, "This painting..."
“This painting is called ‘A Thousand Turtles and Longevity’,” Shen Qiyin said, looking at Xiao Yan with a smile in her eyes. “It is composed of a thousand small turtles forming a large character for ‘longevity’.”
"Moreover, each turtle's shell is painted with a begonia under the moon."
She deliberately combined two things that Xiao Yan liked, and she admired herself when she came up with the idea.
