One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]
Baili An frowned. Could this Yang Yingxue be crazy? No matter how foolish he was, he should at least be able to see through this.
Shen Ninghua turned her head to change the topic. "Cousin, I know you want to save money for Second Elder, but don't worry. These few grandfathers have plenty of money, you should hurry up and pick two hairpins as well."
The shopkeeper let out a sigh of relief and secretly glared at Yang Yingxue. These people were the god of wealth, and they didn't come here often, but their purchases were always enough to make the shop run for half a month. Adding to that, they were definitely not ordinary people, so every time he did everything he could to make these two young ladies happy, then he wanted to use this opportunity to strike up a relationship. Today, he had nearly been destroyed by this person.
"Miss, I've already wrapped everything up, I'm just waiting to gift it to you." The money these grandaunts spent could be used to make a few extra coins, but he felt exceptionally satisfied with his gift.
"Yes." Shen Ninghua turned to look at the pale-faced Yang Yingxue. The space between her eyebrows creased in an indiscernible manner. She originally thought that this elder cousin was carefree, but it seemed to be the case as well.
"Ning Hua, come take a look. This Zhu Chai's craftsmanship is really good. She's almost catching up to the internal affairs …" "Mm, it's at my place. Take it back and play with it." Baili An pulled Shen Ninghua along as they looked around. From time to time, he would point out some pieces of jewelry on Shen Ninghua's head. The storekeeper at the side was holding a pile that had already been packed, his face filled with wrinkles.
Yang Yingxue's face turned pale as she watched from the side. She could only feel cold sweat running down her back, making her feel uncomfortable.
"Miss Yang doesn't seem to like these things, if we were to sit by the side and drink some tea, we would have to watch for a long time every time we come." Baili Jinze's gentle voice carried a sense of comfort.
Yang Yingxue raised her head and looked at his gentle smile. A flash of gratitude appeared in her heart, "Thank you, Lord Fifth."
Baili Jinze smiled, his expression was like the spring wind of March, it did not look estranged at all. The two of them sat to the side and soon became familiar with each other. By the time Shen Ninghua and Baili Shun had finished buying the hairpin, the two of them had basically become close friends.
Yang Yingxue's eyes shone, her actions and actions were much more generous.
Baili JinChuan willingly spent several thousand taels of silver and brought the pile of jewelry back to the restaurant.
After having a simple lunch, Shen Ninghua got up and said his goodbyes, "It's getting late, Cousin and I will be returning first. Rest in peace, come and visit us at our house when you have time."
"Mm. Alright." Even though he hadn't had his fill of fun, Baili An was obedient enough to not say anything. He got up and sent Shen Ninghua off.
Yang Yingxue was somewhat unwilling. In the entire morning, she didn't even have a chance to speak to the Second Prince. How could she be willing to leave like this?
Shen Ninghua's eyes suddenly turned cold. "Cousin, we should head back now. Otherwise, this aunt would be worried."
Yang Yingxue's heart trembled, and she found it hard to breathe. In the end, she did not have the courage to resist as she followed Shen Ninghua out.
Along the way, Yang Yingxue remained silent. After returning to the princess' mansion, she turned and walked towards the Emerald Bamboo Pavilion without saying a word.
Bai Yixue frowned unhappily. This Yang Yingxue was actually so disrespectful to his young mistress, "Young mistress …"
"If there's nothing else, don't bother with her."
After saying that, Shen Ninghua headed back. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden sharp scream followed by the sound of falling into the water.
"Ah, help, help!"
Shen Ninghua's pupils contracted as she hurriedly ordered the bluebird, "Bluebird, save them."
"Yes, miss." The Cyan Bird flew over to the edge of the pond and grabbed onto the bars of the pond with one hand while grabbing onto Yang Yingxue's collar with the other.
"Cough cough …" "Ahem …" Yang Yingxue held onto her chest and coughed until her face turned red, she looked straight at Shen Xuanlin who was standing not far from her in a daze, "You …. Why did you push me? "
She clearly walked well just now, but she didn't expect to be knocked into the pond by this boy.
Xia Jingqiu rushed over and saw this and immediately cried, "My son, what happened? Didn't you just go out to play? How did you fall into the water? "
Yang Yingxue's face was deathly pale and trembled coldly, "Mother, I don't know why, but just as I was walking well, this child suddenly charged over and threw me into the water.
"My poor child …" Xia Jingqiu hugged Yang Yingxue as the mother and daughter cried together.
Shen Xuanlin pursed his lips to the side as his eyes filled with anger. This person was simply too despicable. He actually dared to be so disrespectful to his elder sister. He was merely a lodger, so he couldn't clearly see what he was worth.
Shen Ninghua walked over quickly. When she saw Shen Xuanlin's expression, her expression immediately turned cold, "Xuanlin, apologize."
"Big Sis, I don't want to apologize to this person." Shen Xuanlin abruptly turned his head.
Shen Ninghua frowned, "I'll say it again. Apologize."
"Big sister, I didn't do anything wrong …"
"You're still saying that you're right. What did you say before? Are my words useless now?" Shen Ninghua looked at him sternly.
Shen Xuanlin's expression changed and he clenched his teeth as he glared fiercely at Yang Yingxue. He turned around and ran out. That woman was very bad. He had done the wrong thing, so there was no need to apologize.
Xia Jingqiu raised his head, "Ning Hua, that child must be your little brother Shen Xuanlin. How could he be so domineering at such a young age?"
Shen Ninghua's eyes were deep as she said, "Bluebird, capture him and bring him back."
"Yes, miss." The blue sparrow stepped forward and lifted Shen Xuanlin up.
"Let me go! Aunty Bluebird, let me go!"
"Xuan Lin, let me ask you one last time, are you going to apologize?"
"I don't." Shen Xuanlin was stubborn.
Shen Ninghua seemed to have lost all patience as she turned her head to call the guards over, "Reward Shen Xuanlin's staff fifteen times."
Big Sis was going to hit him. Was she angry? Without waiting for him to say anything, the guards immediately went up to hold Shen Xuanlin down on the chair, raised their staffs and struck him down.
Shen Xuanlin gritted his teeth, but didn't cry out in pain. He tightly dug into the edge of the bench, his nails filled with wood shavings. Shen Ninghua watched coldly until the end of the staff before turning to Xia Jingqiu, "Aunt, I didn't teach Xuan Lin well. In the future, I will properly discipline him. I'll apologize to my cousin on his behalf for this matter."
Xia Jingqiu frowned as she looked at Shen Xuanlin's bloodied clothes. She was very satisfied with this situation, "This time, forget about it. Sigh, my poor Xue'er, mother will bring you to change."
Shen Ninghua turned her head to instruct Bai Yu, "Go ask Doctor Zhang to come over and take a look for my cousin. Also, bring some good ginseng herbs from my warehouse to my cousin."
"Yes, miss."
Walking back, Xia Jingqiu secretly curled the corner of her lips and was finally satisfied.
After returning to the Emerald Bamboo Pavilion, Yang Yingxue was about to bathe and change clothes. However, she pulled on Xia Jingqiu and said, "Xue'er, we'll go again in a while."
"Mother, I'm about to freeze to death. What are you waiting for?" Yang Yingxue's mood was extremely bad, she could not help but shake off her arm.
"You foolish child," Xia Jingqiu quickly pulled her back. "Today you met with the Second Prince, right?"
Thinking about the Second Prince, Yang Yingxue's face suddenly turned red, the impatience in her eyes lessened, "Un, the Second Prince is wise and wise, and is extremely … "Junlang." She spoke rather slowly and felt that it was difficult to describe the Second Prince's bearing in any words.
Seeing this scene, how could Xia Jingqiu not understand? She immediately smiled. "You silly girl, then do you want to see the Second Prince again?"
Yang Yingxue looked at her reproachfully, but she was still unable to resist her thoughts in the end, "Of course I want to meet her."
"Then that's it."
"I had originally wanted to create an excuse for the Second Prince to visit you once, but now this excuse isn't to rush to your doorstep."
Yang Yingxue still didn't quite understand. Xia Jingqiu quickly walked into the room and took out a red pill from a jade box. "Eat this. It will weaken your pulse and cause you to have a fever."
"It won't harm your body?" Yang Yingxue was a little worried.
"Mother will harm you? "Don't worry, I found a master to concoct this medicine. Not only will it not harm your body, it will also remove some of the poison from your body during the process of burning, causing your appearance to become even more beautiful."
Yang Yingxue's eyes suddenly lit up, "Mother, in the past, whenever father went to visit with an aunt, you would always get sick. This is the medicine that you use."
Xia Jingqiu nodded her head, but didn't deny it. "Mhmm, good. It should be about time. Eat this medicine first, then go and change clothes."
Yang Yingxue nodded happily and went to the inner room.
An hour later, Zhang Nian came to take Yang Yingxue's pulse, "Miss Yang's body is weak, it is a symptom of being infected by the cold. I will prescribe some medicine and it will be alright after a few days."
Xia Jingyan and Yang Yingxue looked at each other and smiled slightly.
Zhang Nian walked out of the Emerald Bamboo Pavilion, and Hong Ling stepped forward to welcome her. "Doctor Zhang, the princess invites you over."
"Mm, let's go."
In Rui Xi hall, Shen Ninghua told Bai Yan to bring tea over before she asked, "Dr. Zhang, thank you for your hard work. May I ask what is the matter with my cousin?"
"Miss Yang should be fine, but she seems to have taken some medicine that makes her body weak. It's very similar to her symptoms of chills, I prescribed some nourishing medicine and after taking it, there won't be any damage."
Shen Ninghua's eyes twitched. She did not expect Yang Yingxue to be so mischievous. "Thank you for your information, Doctor Zhang."
"It's nothing. The Chen Courtyard really values the princess's medical skills. If there's a chance, I hope that I can discuss it with her." Although Zhang Nian was a noble person, she was infatuated with the art of medicine.
"Alright, if there's a chance in the future, I will definitely want to seek your guidance."
Zhang Nian drank a cup of tea, asked Shen Ninghua for a jar of wine, and left satisfied.
Shen Ninghua's face darkened. "Hong Ling, send someone to watch over Emerald Bamboo Pavilion. I don't mind Yang Yingxue sending me up the branch as a springboard, but I won't allow anything shameful to happen in the princess' mansion." Report anything that happens in time. "
"Yes, Miss. Please rest assured, this servant will definitely have someone keep an eye on them."
Shen Ninghua's heart was a little fidgety, "How's Xuanlin?"
Bai Yu felt a bit of heartache. "Miss, Young Master Xuan Lin has been sent back home. He just lies on the bed and doesn't say anything. He doesn't even need a meal. Why don't you go take a look?" Young Master Xuan Lin's appearance seemed very pitiful, even she couldn't bear to see it.
Shen Ninghua sighed, stood up and walked towards Shen Xuanlin's courtyard.
In his room, Shen Xuanlin was lying on his bed with his eyes tightly closed, but he was unable to stop his tears from streaming down. In the end, as if he was angry, he directly buried his head into his blanket, like an abandoned little beast.
Just as he was about to get up, his body softened and he returned to his bed. His eyes were only dark and shining, as if they had been washed by tears. However, there was a hint of awkwardness and embarrassment in his eyes, "Elder sister, why do you still care about me? Let someone beat me to death."
"Then it seems like you don't want me anymore. I'll be going then."
"No, big sister!"
