Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 30 You have grown taller
She directed Nanny Liu to wrap the branches while bending over to wash her hands with water in the copper basin under the door.

"Extorting other people's money and decorating your own appearance, you are amazing!"

They were wiping their hands here when they heard an uncontrollable ruthless sound coming from outside the door.

Looking back, she saw Shen Xin standing there with Qiu Chan and Xia Ying standing there with a cold face.

Shen Xi raised his lips and continued to dry his hands. Then he turned around and took the fan from Aunt Pei, and said, "Miss is joking. Miss gave me money to manage the house. This is your virtuousness. I dare not take credit for it."

Shen Xin punched the pile of cotton with her fist, she just stared angrily, how could she answer the words with anger?

She had inquired that Lin Pei and Shen Di were coming to Xikuayuan, and she searched all the way, only to see people talking and laughing at Lixiangyuan, so she couldn't help but come to have a look.

As a result, as soon as he came, he saw that the old dilapidated courtyard had changed. Seedlings were planted in the front yard, and there seemed to be a lot of movement in the inner courtyard.

Moreover, the dilapidated places have been simply repaired, looking clean and plain, the anger in my heart can't help but rise up!

The yard has been tidied up like this by her, and it already looks good, and it will not be embarrassing and shabby when receiving guests in the future.

When he co-authored her to blackmail her money, he had planned it long ago, and her eldest room gave her second room as wedding clothes!

But right now, she doesn't dare to attack, she is holding the handle, and she will be the one who suffers if she falls out.

Shen Xi didn't intend to start a conflict with her, seeing that she didn't answer, he moved a step and planned to go back to the room.

Who knew that before turning around, another voice came from behind: "Sister Xi."

In the courtyard outside the door, under the apricot blossom tree, a person came from where the flowering branches were parted.

Emerald jade hangs under his sapphire blue robe, and white apricot and pink peach blossoms fall on his shoulders and black hair.

Under the petals was another face like a breezy and bright moon, with words in those slightly plump lips, but his eyes fell on the lifted flower branches, and when the hands fell, the person had already stepped forward.

A pair of palms that slapped the flowers on both arms are also white and plump that are unique to the children of the big family.

"Brother Pei!"

Shen Xin immediately changed her expression, becoming intimate and gentle.

Lin Pei didn't look at her, but looked directly at Shen Xi who was standing inside the door.

The moment his eyes stayed on her, the clearness in his brows and eyes instantly warmed up: "Long time no see."

Shen Xi had met many descendants of the Tuoba family in the past, and knew that they were not too rigid about men and women, and came and went relatively freely.

Although she appreciates their free and easy manner, but she has received 16 years of Helian people's noble daughter's education, but now she is still not used to being greeted like this by a man with a foreign surname who ran to the inner courtyard.

In particular, it seemed that he was still a guest of the long room, and he didn't want to have anything to do with him, and when he heard the phrase "Sister Xi", he became more and more confused.

She nodded lightly, then turned and went into the house.

Lin Pei also raised his foot to cross the threshold, and followed in: "I heard that you are back, how have you been these few years?"

Shen Xi was noncommittal, and walked in at a leisurely pace.

"Xi'er!" Lin Pei took half a step ahead and stood in front of her.

Shen Xi looked left and right, only Pearl followed.

She looked at the corner of his Kesi robe ponderingly, and said, "I'm fine."

baffling!

He is Shen Xin's "Brother Pei", she has nothing to do with him, what is she doing all the time pestering her with questions?
When she made a sound here, Lin Pei's expression softened.

He and Ai said: "It seems that you have grown a lot taller than before, but why are you thinner? - You are tidying up the yard? We used to have very few people planting flowers in the yard. Now you are so leisurely and elegant."

He rambled on, his tone soft as if accommodating.

Shen Xin outside the courtyard seemed to be completely forgotten by him at the moment.

Shen Xin's cheeks were flushed with anger, she was fine with abandoning her earlier, but now she is blatantly ignoring her in front of Shen Xi, how could she bear it!

I couldn't help rushing in, but I looked at the two people who had stopped in the corridor, but I didn't know what to say.

Lin Pei is a regular visitor in the mansion when he takes a pee.

At that time it was still the head of the Wu family, and Shen Chongyi hadn't taken any foreign posts yet, and had been with the Ding family a lot, so he was naturally familiar with Shen Xi.

After all, it is not like when she was a child, she can speak and act at will, now she has to intervene to prevent them from reminiscing about the old days, what position will she appear in?
Seeing this, Yuan Bei, who was stunned on the ladder, hurried down to the ground, and stood not far from Aunt Pei with a tacit understanding, in case she did anything.

She glared at them with a cold face, gritted her teeth, and walked over with her skirt in hand: "Brother Pei has a good memory, and sister Xi is so disheartened, you still recognize her. Since you are here, why don't you come in and ask for help?" Sister Xi, have a cup of tea and sit down."

How can Erfang be as good as before?
Shen Xi three years ago was the jewel in the hands of Shen Chongxin and his wife, who wouldn't protect it?Now it has fallen into a mud ball in the ashes.

If Lin Pei didn't know, he might still treat her as the Second Miss Shen that everyone chased and hugged in the past, and let him sit in the room to see how miserable she is now, so that he could tear her face off and show him!

"Sorry, I only have tea foam in my room now."

It's not that Shen Xi doesn't know what Shen Xin means, but it just so happens that she doesn't have the intention of entertaining her.

The young man's attitude made people feel nervous, she didn't want to show her flaws in front of him.

Lin Pei looked at Shen Xi: "Come on tomorrow, I'll have someone bring you two cans of tea leaves. I happen to have new melon slices, which you like."

Frost suddenly appeared on Shen Xin's face, and he stopped talking.

Shen Xi was also a little dazed.

"Can I go in and sit down?" Lin Pei pointed to the room with his fan.

Shen Xi looked at him for a while, then slowly raised his lips: "Please."

Judging by his appearance, he won't leave easily. If he insists on sitting, then let's sit.If you insist on not allowing it, you will be hypocritical.

She went up to the verandah first, and Lin Pei and Shen Xin followed.

A group of people entered the front hall and sat in the chairs set up in the room, Shen Xin looked around.

Lixiangyuan was also the place where Shen Ruopu's concubine's uncle lived. Later generations were weak and there was no shortage of places to live, so the courtyard was vacant.

Except for the necessary annual renovation and care, nothing has been done at all.

If it wasn't for the fact that the materials used in the construction of the house were not very sophisticated, and the repairs have not been repeated every year, I am afraid that the doors, windows and walls would have rotted long ago.

When Shen Ruopu brought Erfang back from Xing'ergou, he immediately let them live here.

Out of curiosity, she also came in to have a look. At that time, there was a musty smell everywhere, the furniture was old and broken, and there was not a single piece of floor tiles.

Later, although they did a simple cleaning after they moved in, they only changed a few pieces of clumsy furniture, and the floor tiles were not repaired much.

So much so that even the servants in the mansion were reluctant to come here, and when they mentioned Lixiangyuan, the tone was the same as when they mentioned the poor households who did odd jobs at the intersection of the street.
