Chapter 221 A Round Fan

Before Shen Yi went to Jiankang, he got acquainted with Miss Lu. It stands to reason that he should bring a gift to Miss Lu when he "returned home" from Jiankang. After all, Jiankang City is now Da Chen's actual capital. East Street and West Street include everything in Kyushu, and you can buy all kinds of rare things.

However, when Shen Yi left Jiankang, he was indeed too anxious. He didn't think about it. Now that Master Lu reminded him, he would naturally go to make up for it.

After leaving Ganquan Academy, Shen Yi hurriedly came to the market by the Yudai Lake in Jiangdu, found several shops, and wanted to buy "Jiankang specialties".

The two places are very close, and the items from Jiankang can naturally be bought in Jiangdu City, but hearing Shen Yi mention Jiankang specialties, the bosses of these Jiangdu markets directly led Shen Yi to a small shop specializing in Jiankang items. In the store, there are Jinling embroidery, and some beautiful stones with various patterns.

Shen Yi looked around, and finally picked a round fan. The embroidery was very delicate, double-sided embroidery, the front embroidered with Jiankang's Zhongshan, and the back embroidered with Jiankang's ancient Jiming Temple.

There are also those who embroider the Qinhuai River, but the Qinhuai River is a land of love and moon after all, so it is not suitable to send girls.

After Shen Yi looked at it for a while, he felt very satisfied. After paying the money, he asked the boss for a wooden box, put the fan in it, and then Master Shen held the box in his hand, and went out to stop a delivery truck. Car, sat on the cart, and returned to Ganquan Academy.

It was almost evening now.

Shen Yi walked briskly, and soon came to a courtyard in the backyard of the academy.

This is where Master Lu and Miss Lu lived.

After Shen Yi took a breath, he reached out to knock on the door and said, "Junior Sister Lu, Junior Sister Lu."

He has always had this kind of temperament that does not avoid people. When he came here to meet Miss Lu, he also called it that way, because the youngest daughter is shy at home, and this method of knocking on the door is often very effective.

This time is no exception.

Soon, the little maid, Lian'er, came over and opened the door for Shen Yi. This little girl who was only fourteen or fifteen years old had a strong personality, and she raised her head and glared at Shen Yi.

"Master Shen, why are you yelling my girl's name here? Half the academy can hear you calling it like this, and it ruins my girl's innocence for no reason!"

Shen Yi didn't care about this little girl, but said with a smile: "Sister Lian'er, I've been away from Jiangdu for more than half a year, and it's been a long time since I came back. Naturally, I should visit Junior Sister Lu."

As he said that, he handed over the fan in his hand, and said with a smile, "Hey, this is a gift I brought to Junior Sister Lu in Jiankang, and it was specially sent to Junior Sister Lu."

Lian'er looked at Shen Yi, then at the box in Shen Yi's hand, with suspicion in her tone.

"Bringed by Jiankang?"

She snorted and said: "I see that you left the master in a hurry just now, and you probably bought it when you went to the city now."

"how is this possible?"

Shen Yi's face was neither red nor out of breath, and he said with a smile: "I forgot to bring it just now, so I rushed home to get it."

Lian'er just glanced at the wooden box in Shen Yi's hand, then turned her head to look in the direction of her lady, and said to Shen Yi: "You wait here, I'll go and ask my lady if she accepts it or not."

After finishing speaking, the little girl turned around and went to report the letter in a hurry.

The little girl went up to the embroidered building and explained the situation to Miss Lu. After hearing this, Miss Lu frowned and said, "Since it's a gift from someone kindly, you can bring it up that is…"

Lian Er blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Miss, Shen Qi brought two girls back from Jiankang, are you not angry with him?"

"He and I are brothers and sisters, so we can be regarded as friends."

Miss Lu looked at Lian'er, and said angrily, "What does it have to do with the two girls beside him? Go and fetch his things quickly and send him away. He stands at the door like this and shouts, "Should I be a man tomorrow?" gone?"

Lian Er blinked again, and asked with a smile: "Miss, we took his things, why don't you go out and meet him?"

"What did you see him doing?"

Miss Lu turned her head away: "I don't want to see him."

Lian Er nodded, the little girl had a clear mind, and asked again: "Miss, you are too embarrassed to ask, otherwise I will ask him, what happened to those two little girls..."

"You are my maid, what is the difference between you asking him and me asking him?"

Miss Lu got anxious, grabbed Lian'er's sleeve, and said angrily, "Don't ask!"

Miss Lu has a very good temper, she has never lost her temper with anyone, this moment of anger shocked Lian Er, she quickly lowered her head: "Yes, I'll get the things up, and I'll send him away."

The little girl went down the stairs from get out of class again, and after seeing Shen Yi, she took the box in Shen Yi's hand, then raised her head and said, "Master Shen, my lady took this thing, so don't yell here, pass it on." It also lost your face, Mr. Shen."

Shen Yi scratched his head and asked, "That junior sister Lu..."

He wanted to ask if he couldn't come out and meet him.

Lian Er shook her head: "It's too late today, my lady said another day."

After all, the little girl hugged the wooden box and closed the door.

Shen Yi didn't know where he had offended Junior Sister Lu. After standing at the door for a while, seeing that it was getting late, he went home to rest.

After all, he has been running around for two or three days, and he is a little sleepy at the moment, and he will not see Zhang Jian today, but Chen Yu must see him tomorrow, especially Zhang Jian, if he does not see him again, the county lord Shen Yi should be angry.

After Shen Yi left, Lian'er went up to the small building with the wooden box in her arms, put the box in front of Miss Lu, and told Miss Lu that Shen Yi had gone home to pick up gifts.

Miss Lu didn't say much. After opening the box, she took out the exquisite fan. She took the fan in her hand and looked at it carefully.

Lian'er at the side saw that it was a fan, and immediately became a little angry.

"It's winter now, how can anyone send fans in this season?"

The little girl said angrily: "This Shen Qi really doesn't care at all!"

Miss Lu looked up at Lian'er, and said softly, "It wasn't winter when he was in Jiankang, maybe he bought it in summer?"

After saying this, she lowered her head and looked at the fan that cost Shen Yi a lot of money, and said softly: "This kind of double-sided embroidery is something ordinary people can't embroider, and it's quite delicate."

Lian'er blinked her eyes and was about to speak, but seeing her young lady's appearance, she lowered her head and stopped talking.

Miss Lu took the round fan in her hand, fanned it a few more times, and then put the fan back into the wooden box with satisfaction.

"Put it away. You don't need it in winter, but you can use it next summer. It won't go bad after a few months."

Lian'er pouted, and put the wooden box on the shelf in the room.

"Yes, yes, you are right."

…………

On the other side, when Shen Yi returned home from the academy, it was already dark.

As soon as he stepped into the house, the third elder brother Shen Ling came up to meet him. Shen Ling pulled Shen Yi's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Why did Qilang come back?"

Shen Yi coughed: "Some things are delayed, what's wrong, third brother?"

"The county lord is here."

Shen Ling dragged Shen Yi towards the house, and said, "We'll be here at sunset, and we've been waiting for you at our house for almost an hour!"
