As Shi said, it was not a few days after returning from Wanbao Zhai, and the worshippers were sent to the Shen Mansion one after another. Shen Yao went to the court every day, and Fang Yue took care of the house, but fortunately, the people who came were also there to meet the Shi family, and they were all relatives.

Shen Nanzhi followed Shi Shi and Fang Yue to meet three or five sets of guests, and heard that this still rejected many people.

It was also on this day in early April, and the Duke of Qi finally came with news, saying that he would bring the fourth prince of Qi with him. Early this morning, Shen Nanzhi was called to clean up and dress up, and after listening to Mother Lian's instructions, Zhuyun can be regarded as having the whole body in mind, just the bun was coiled for more than half an hour, dismantled, dismantled and rebuilt, and finally found the most satisfactory one.

Shen Nanzhi only cared about sitting in front of the mirror and yawning, seeing that Zhu Yun was so excited and it didn't hurt her, so he simply took the book and asked her to go and tease it at will.

Not long after cleaning up, the Qi family came. It was Chengfu of the second gate who was the first to report the news, and when Shen Nanzhi heard this, he rushed all the way to Chaoxiju, and on the way, he saw five or six neatly arranged and uniformly dressed maids each holding boxes of different sizes and walking inward.

I met Mother Lian outside Chaoxi's residence, and when I asked, I learned that the Qi family had already arrived, and I was talking to Shi inside. After speaking, she looked Shen Nanzhi up and down again, only saying that she was still too quiet today, so she asked someone to take a pair of red gold skein bracelets embedded with southern beads in Shi's makeup box, and did not forget to bring a pair of small tassel hairpins with red gold entangled silk agate flowers on her head.

Duchess Qi was sitting beside Shi's, slightly inferior in appearance to Shi's, but better than that proud and noble, as soon as she entered, I saw her talking with her hands on her lap, with some pleasure between her eyebrows.

"Duchess Qi Jin An!" Shen Nanzhi walked forward quickly and bowed down to the people in a proper manner.

As soon as Duchess Qi raised her eyes, she looked at the little girl in front of her in surprise. She was wearing a white silk stand-up collar jacket, a pink lotus pattern clean makeup gown, not tall, her little face was as white as transparent, her big black grape-like eyes flashed one after another, and her dark eyes were full of wisdom, indescribably playful and moving.

"Good! Okay, these are the four girls, right? Duchess Qi happily waved her hand at Shen Nanzhi, grabbed her into her arms, and rubbed her glutinous little face with her hand, "I knew it must be a sign person!" ”

Shen Nanzhi was shy, bowed his head and smiled with a red face, and felt that Duchess Qi had dragged herself to the side: "Four girls, this is our Shilang, you two also know each other!" ”

She followed her gaze and saw that the son who was originally sitting at the bottom had already stood up, in a white robe and green shoes, a typical student dress, with a purple-spotted bamboo hairpin on his head.

"Hello sister of the Shen family! You can call me Brother Qi, and it's done. The young man has a slender figure, a beautiful face, light clothes and treasure belts, and a relaxed and comfortable smile like a handsome boy who enjoys the snow with beauty, without any of the lightness and unreliability she imagined.

Shen Nanzhi's face turned red, and he felt a little ashamed of what he had said earlier that Qi Yuan was a swinger brother, so he hurriedly bowed: "I've seen Fourth Brother Qi!" Just call me my fourth sister! ”

The two elders looked at each other and smiled, Shen Nanzhi's little panic in their eyes was not a panic of self-blame, but a lack of knowing what to do at the beginning of their love.

Shi Shi waved his hand and asked the two of them to sit down, and smiled at the Duchess Qi beside him: "Your Shiro has a good reputation in the capital, this girl grew up in that small place, and she didn't bother to socialize with people when she came to the capital. ”

In fact...... I know it, but it's just a misunderstanding. Shen Nanzhi buried his head in a sip of tea, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Qi Yuan was listening to Shi Shi with a serious face and a soft smile.

"Your little four haven't gone out yet?" Duchess Qi's eyes lit up, and she asked with a smile, seeing that Shi nodded helplessly, she said, "It's just right, our family Yuan'er only reads at home every day, and he will be suffocated to only know how to read dead books. ”

After a pause, afraid that Shi Shi would not be happy, he added: "She will also live in Beijing in the future, if she doesn't have a few close friends, how lonely she will be in the future!" ”

Hearing this, Shi Shi didn't know what to say, so he just turned his head to look at Shen Nanzhi, as if he was asking for her opinion.

However, she was unwilling to do so, and it was not good to refuse directly, firstly, as if she was putting on a show, and secondly, she would lose the face of the Duchess of Qi, and their lord took the initiative to deal with the Shen family, no matter what the purpose was, it could already be regarded as a humiliation.

It was Shen Nanzhi who nodded obediently: "What Duchess Qi said is naturally what Nanzhi said!" It's just that I don't know if Fourth Brother Qi has a little sister who knows, and I can't always mess with Fourth Brother Qi in that man's pile! ”

Everyone looked at Qi Yuan, an excessive smile suddenly appeared on his clean face, and he nodded hurriedly: "Yes!" Some! I'll introduce my sister to her another day! ”

Duchess Qi secretly glared at Qi Yuan, and hurriedly turned her head and laughed: "This kid ...... Although I am reading, I always know a few people who don't care! ”

Shi smiled meaningfully, and Shen Nanzhi also had a few more doubts in his heart - "her"? Is it possible to point to a certain person with such certainty? Look at the subtle expression of the Duchess of Naqi again......

There is an article on the fourth son of the Qi family!

However, everyone in the room did not dwell on this matter, Duchess Qi interrupted with a smile, Shi Shizi also calmly accompanied the conversation, Qi Yuan seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly picked up the teacup on the side and took a big sip, choking and coughing several times.

Shen Nanzhi smiled: "Fourth brother Qi, don't worry, this tea is the pine basket we brought from Suzhou, if you like me, ask someone to wrap some for my brother!" ”

Looking at the smile of the little girl opposite, Qi Yuan remembered the news of Wanbao Zhai brought by Baoliang when he came back a few days ago......

What the hell is going on, others don't know, can he still not know? used this method to accept the gift but gave the money, and also saved the face of the Qi family in front of outsiders, if this matter was not instructed by Mrs. Shen, then this little girl would not be an ordinary person......
