A tall and tall figure came in from the outside. The young man in a royal blue lilac purple cocoon silk robe exuded a vigorous and masculine aura, with a hearty smile on his face.
It looks like he just came back from outside.
"Brother, why are you so happy?" Shen Ziqiao went up to meet him, and looked at Shen Zikai with a smile.
Shen Zikai held two greased paper bags in his hand, and handed them to Hongyu beside him, "Sauce elbow, for Miss San's dinner."
"Brother is so kind." Shen Ziqiao rubbed his arm affectionately, "Where did brother go? Why did you bring me a soy elbow?"
"I went to drink with Qi Zheng, that guy has a really good drinker." Shen Zikai smiled all over his face, obviously having a good time drinking with Qi Zheng.
Shen Ziqiao muttered softly, "Why did you go drinking with him, brother, don't get too close to him."
"What do little girls know!" Shen Zikai tapped Shen Ziqiao's forehead, "Qi Zheng is a person worthy of close friendship, and his skills are really good, next time we must discuss with him."
This Shen Zikai is really an idiot! Either being used by Sheng Peiyin or being fooled by Qi Zheng.
Shen Ziqiao said seriously, "Brother, Qi Zheng is too thoughtful. He used to pretend to be stupid so he didn't talk about it. He pretended to be incompetent in front of others. Last time he fought with others and lost, why did he change when he came to you?" Cheng's skills are pretty good, look, isn't there a problem with this person?"
"Really? Is he pretending to be stupid?" Shen Zikai was very surprised. He had met Qi Zheng before, but he couldn't tell that he was pretending to be stupid. "Did you see it?"
"Yes, yes." Shen Ziqiao nodded vigorously, she must protect Shen Zikai from being slept by Sheng Peiyin, and from being used by Qi Zheng.
Shen Zikai chuckled, and squinted at his sister, "I didn't even notice it, but you did? Jiaojiao. Why do you hate Qi Zheng so much? Even if he pretends to be stupid, so what, if he didn't, how could he live till now? Everyone needs to choose how to live in order to live."
Just like him, if he hadn't chosen to join the army and endure hardships with the army outside in the severe winter and heat, what would he be like now
He will never forget that when he just lost his mother, he was in a bad mood and killed a bastard outside. Instead of blaming him, the old lady said that he played well and that he was the eldest son of the Shen family. No one can bully, only he beats others, no one can beat him.
At the time he thought it was true. Until he saw the person he beat... Not to mention the bruised nose and swollen face, even the broken calf, he was shocked that he was so cruel.
What the old lady said was wrong.
No matter whose son he is, he is not entitled to beat someone for no reason, and no one owes him anything.
He wanted to talk to the old lady. But he heard the words that made him angry and made up his mind to leave.
The old lady said to the second aunt, "...that bitch Pan finally died, and I finally feel at ease. You have to be more courageous and raise both brothers well. Brother Kai lost Pan. His father He's not at home all year round, so he won't be able to make a fortune in the future. He won't be able to shoulder the burden of the Shen family. He still has to count on the second wife... and Pan's dowry. Isn't she refusing to help you? Hmph, I'll take her dowry from now on Add a box for Sister Xin... "
After hearing these words, Shen Zikai told Shen Xiao that he would join the army the next day.
Shen Xiao didn't object.
Just because Qi Zheng's situation is too similar, he understands Qi Zheng's approach very well. He understands Qi Zheng's difficulty better.
Shen Ziqiao knew that she couldn't convince Shen Zikai for a while, so she decided to find another time to talk to Qi Zheng. If that guy wanted to hurt Shen Zikai's heart at all, she would definitely expose him for being stupid.
"Brother, where are you going to drink with Qi Zheng today?" Shen Ziqiao asked knowingly, it was not clear whether Qi Zheng would take advantage of Shen Zikai, and she also believed that Shen Zikai was not really an idiot.
His biggest problem is that he can't pass the beauty pass!
"I went to Shangpin Building, and met the third lady of the Sheng family." Shen Zikai woke up from his memories, smiled and didn't think about the things he had long forgotten.
Shen Ziqiao's heart rose, and she met the heroine! "You... you met Sheng Peiyin? Then... what do you think of her?"
"Miss Sheng San is gentle and kind, and talented, knowledgeable and sensible, Jiaojiao, you should learn from her." Shen Zikai's tone was appreciative.
It's just appreciation, not obsession.
But it already made Shen Ziqiao feel very worried, she said cautiously, "Brother, actually... Sheng Peiyin took me to the Thousand Buddha Temple last time, don't you think, she kind of makes people feel..."
Shen Zikai frowned, "Did you beg her to take you there?"
It's the deity... none of her business.
"Anyway, I don't like her." Shen Ziqiao snorted, "If she wanted to be good, she shouldn't have taken me to the Thousand Buddha Temple, and she shouldn't have told me that it was Qi Zheng's room. She should have persuaded me not to meet men privately. When I was ignorant, not only did she not persuade me, but also helped me, brother, do you think she is doing it for me?"
Shen Zikai didn't expect his sister to say such a thing, he looked at her in surprise, "You also know that you are wrong about this matter?"
"I didn't know before, but now I know." It was something only an idiot and brain-dead girl could do. "So I think Sheng Peiyin may not be sincerely for my own good."
"Then you still...associate with her?" Shen Zikai found that he couldn't understand his sister's mind anymore.
"It's the same thing, but I don't trust her as much as before." Shen Ziqiao said with a smile, hoping that Shen Zikai could avoid this woman's clutches as much as possible.
"Jiaojiao, you were wronged when elder brother was not at home." Shen Zikai sighed, knowing that the younger sister he had cared for since childhood had grown up, and was no longer the willful and naive younger sister he thought.
Shen Ziqiao didn't know if saying this would help the matter, she could only give it a try.
As long as Shen Zikai can be kept away from Sheng Peiyin, the Shen family will not be ruined by Sheng Peiyin.
"By the way, brother, there is something I need to ask for your help." Shen Ziqiao didn't say too many bad things about Sheng Peiyin, fearing that it might be counterproductive, now it's enough to leave an impression in Shen Zikai's heart, there is no need to speak too much, she talked about other things one thing.
Shen Zikai didn't have any feelings for Sheng Peiyin at this moment, he just admired that she was a different woman, and after hearing his sister say that he didn't like her, he had no idea, "What's the matter?"
"I want to get back my mother's former companion, as well as shopkeepers Zhang and Fan in Dongyue." Shen Ziqiao said.
"It's easy. I know where Pan Sanduo is. As for Liang Jianhai, don't use him anymore. I will arrange for Dongyue." Shen Zikai knew who Shen Ziqiao was looking for as soon as he heard it.
"Thank you, brother." It's nice to have a big brother.
…
…
After hearing Mrs. Cui's report, Mrs. Shen's originally good mood suddenly turned gloomy. Her face was ashen, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes seemed to be a little deeper.
"Ms. Gao is such an idiot!" Mrs. Shen scolded fiercely, "Would she be short of that fabric? She was looking for trouble on the first day. Did she slap me in the face or was she trying to cause trouble for that girl?"
Cui's mother didn't dare to answer, she kept silent.
Mrs. Shen scolded Mrs. Gao, and after calming down a bit, she asked, "Miss San really said that? Ask me to give money to add clothes to everyone in the family?"
"Yes." Mother Cui replied in a low voice.
It's a shame that the third lady can say it out loud.
Old Mrs. Shen laughed back angrily, turned her head and said to Li's mother, "Look, who did she learn this shameless virtue from? Is she the same as Mrs. Pan?"
How dare Mama Li say yes, she just nodded and didn't dare to speak.
"As expected of her daughter." Mrs. Shen snorted, "She wants me to pay the money, so I will pay. Whatever the birthday expenses this year, I will pay by myself."
Mother Cui and Mother Li were shocked, knowing that Mrs. Shen was really angry, "Old lady, why bother to make things difficult for myself, the Elder Master knows, and will definitely not let Third Miss mess around."
"You don't need to let Elder Master know for now." Mrs. Shen's eyes flashed with anger, "Let him know what kind of daughter he has."
This is to use the matter of the birthday to completely embarrass Miss San.
Mama Cui and Mama Li felt relieved, and it would be best if the third lady would not dare to be the housekeeper from now on.
"Miss San went to patrol the shop today?" Mrs. Shen quickly suppressed the sternness on her face, and the smile at the corner of her mouth looked very kind.
Mama Li replied, "Miss San went to the shop on East Street instead of West Street. I think she quit because of difficulties."
The manager of the shop on East Avenue has already left, so the girl must be scared.
Mrs. Shen picked up a candied date and put it into her mouth, chewing slowly, with a satisfied smile in her eyes, "Let's see, what exactly does she want to do."
Mother Li said again in a low voice, "Madam, then Liang Jianhai wants to see you."
"Liang Jianhai?" Mrs. Shen frowned, and for a moment she couldn't remember who this person was. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was the person left behind by the Pan family. "What's the matter with him?"
"I heard that there is news from Dongyue." Mama Li glanced at Mama Cui, who had a low eyebrow and a pleasant ear, knowing that the other party would not easily reveal the secret, so she whispered in the old lady's ear.
Mrs. Shen's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"It's absolutely true, but the servant girl asked him, and refused to say anything, only to see you." Li's mother said.
"Let him come to see me." Mrs. Shen said flatly.
She had suspected for a long time that the dowry left by Mrs. Pan was not only what she had in hand, maybe there were other properties as well.
Mama Li responded.
"Don't let the Eldest Master and Eldest Young Master know." Mrs. Shen ordered again, if they were to know, she would not be allowed to continue to intervene in Pan's property.
After Madam Shen finished speaking, she held the tea bowl expressionlessly and stopped moving.
If Shen Ziqiao hadn't suddenly wanted to take back Pan's dowry, she wouldn't have been in such a hurry.
Who told Sanya about what Pan left behind
Must be those lowly slaves...
