Chapter 156 Song Yun noticed
There was a faint fragrance from Shen Xia's hair, which reached Song Yun's nostrils.
Her hair is thick and smooth, not frizzy at all. I don't know what she used to make it so shiny.
"All right."
Shen Xia touched it gently: "Thank you, fourth brother."
Song Yun looked at the extra ring on her hand and was surprised.
But it didn't show on his face.
Shen Xia handed over the box in her hand: "Fourth brother, this is a gift I brought to everyone when I went to the capital to discuss the cooperation of silk quilts some time ago. This is for you."
Song Yun took it and opened it. It was a very delicate silver hairpin with good craftsmanship. It looked like it would have cost several taels of silver.
Unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth: "Thank you,"
Then I saw Fourth Brother take out two silver bills from his arms.
"This is the income I earned from writing picture books this month. I give it to you." Song Yun said.
Shen Xia looked at the banknotes in front of him and said, "Fourth brother, save the money you earn for mother!"
"You've been busy renovating the house recently. If I give you something better, it will be easier for you to spend. There are only 120 taels in the first month, and there should be more in the future." Song Yun put the banknote directly in Shen Xia's hand.
Shen Xia was dazed as he looked at the banknote in his hand.
Do you want to talk to fourth brother first?
But with fourth brother’s cold eyes, I really don’t know how to tell him. I’d better talk to mother first when I have time.
Besides, my uncles are at home now, so it’s better to discuss some things in private.
Song Yun stayed at home for only two days.
June 1st
Song Jiang sent Song Yun to the academy and went to the county town himself.
When they arrived at the county town, Shen Xia got off the car and left: "Brother, go back after you send Fourth Brother off! I will go back by myself later."
Although Song Jiang was puzzled, he nodded in agreement: "Okay, Xia Xia, go ahead and get busy!"
Song Jiang looked at Shen Xia's leaving back with a dim look in his eyes.
He raised the bullwhip to send Song Yun to the academy because it was still early.
"Brother, have you noticed the ring on Shen Xia's hand?"
Song Jiang glanced at Song Yun and asked, "What do you want to say, fourth brother?"
"You know what I want to say." Song Yun looked at his elder brother.
"Xia Xia is a free person. If she can stay in the Song family, I will take care of her with all my heart. If not, I will take care of her like a brother. We can't be so selfish as to confine her."
"She is a human being, she has her own ideas." Song Jiang said in a low voice.
Looking at Song Jiang's non-competitive character, Song Yun said, "Forget it. It's better to tell the third brother than to you. That guy is more cunning than the eldest and second brothers."
Shen Xia went directly to the yamen.
The constable at the door looked at Shen Xia and said politely, "Miss Shen is here, please come in."
"Well, okay." Shen Xia also said politely.
"Miss Shen, the master is writing calligraphy."
Shen Xia shook her head: "I'll go see Lu Ye first and then go find the adults."
The constable nodded: "Okay, I won't lead the way then."
"Well, you go about your business."
Shen Xia went to where Lu Ye lived, took his pulse first, then asked him some questions, and found that there was nothing wrong.
"The plaster can be removed in another half month."
"Thank you, Miss Shen. Thank you so much."
"After I recover from my injury, I still want to stay with General Xiao." Lu Ye expressed his thoughts.
"Who is General Xiao?" Shen Xia asked curiously.
Lu Ye smiled and said, "General Xiao is the general guarding our border."
“Oh, this is next to the border!”
"Yes, it's only two days away from the border,"
"Is the border safe?" Shen Xia felt bad when he heard the word "border".
Don't just focus on developing this place. It would be too unprofitable if you destroy it in a war.
"It's safe! General Xiao is here." Lu Ye mentioned General Xiao with a look of admiration on his face.
"That's good." Shen Xia nodded.
Then they said goodbye.
I went to find Gu Zizhan. His study was open and I saw him working there.
That serious look is so charming.
Wen Zhu at the door was about to call his master, but was stopped by Shen Xia.
Shen Xia tiptoed gently, wanting to go in and scare him.
Little did he know that it was her as soon as she arrived at the door. That familiar step was very easy to identify for someone with martial arts skills.
Shen Xia walked up to him: "Hey——."
Gu Zizhan smiled and looked up: "Should I cooperate and pretend to be scared?"
"Of course!" Shen Xia said with his head raised.
"If I were scared, I would definitely ask for compensation. Are you sure?" Gu Zizhan said with a smirk.
"Forget it then! I can't afford to compensate you."
"Haha, just sit here and wait for me. I'll be done in a moment." Gu Zizhan said.
"Ok."
"Wenzhu, bring some snacks to Xia Xia."
"Yes, my lord."
Shen Xia was watching Gu Zizhan working. She was bored, so she picked up a piece of paper and took out a charcoal pencil from her bag.
Draw a sketch.
During this time, Gu Zizhan also looked up to see what Shen Xia was doing.
"What are you doing?"
"I won't tell you, you'll know later."
Gu Zizhan smiled and said, "Okay."
It's almost noon.
Gu Zizhan finished his official business and stood up and walked in front of Shen Xia.
I noticed it before. Shen Xia's technique didn't look like writing or painting, and I didn't know what she was doing with the stick!
I didn't realize it until I got closer
It turned out that he was drawing.
But this painting method is so novel.
This is not the point, and the painting skills are too realistic!
The painting is of myself, and it looks exactly like me.
Gu Zizhan smiled as he watched Shen Xia put down the final stroke.
He looked up and saw Gu Zizhan standing in front of him.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "How is it? It's a beautiful painting, isn't it?"
Gu Zizhan praised: "It looks good. Xia Xia, can you draw a picture of yourself for me using this method?"
"Okay! But there are conditions." Shen Xia raised his eyebrows.
"Xia Xia, just mention it, you can pick it."
Shen Xia gently patted Gu Zizhan's chest: "Who wants to pick you? You are so self-indulgent."
"If you don't pick me, who do you want to pick?" Gu Zizhan supported Shen Xia's chair with both hands and held her in his arms.
"Brother, please don't get so close to me, okay?"
"No, I haven't seen you for so many days, you don't know how much I missed you." As he said this, he was about to kiss her.
"Sister, I heard from the servants that you are here, my——"
Shen Xia was startled when she heard Zheng Jinshu's voice.
Gu Zizhan looked at Zheng Jinshu at the door with a dark face: "You are too idle and have nothing to do!"
It's awkward for Zheng Jinshu to pause here!
Who would have known that Zizhan, a guy who had never liked a girl before, would be as passionate as an old house on fire once he liked one.
He looked at the two of them awkwardly: "Sorry to bother you, you guys continue." Then he thought about leaving.
Shen Xia was even more speechless, and patted Gu Zizhan: "Get out of the way. I'm hungry and need to eat."
Gu Zizhan looked at Wenzhu at the door and said, "Bring the food."
"Yes, my lord."
The three of them sat at the dining table together. Shen Xia looked at the good food and said, "Well, the food today is good!"
Zheng Jinshu and Gu Zizhan didn't even pick up their chopsticks.
"Aren't you two hungry?"
"Never mind you guys, I'll eat first."
Gu Zizhan rolled his eyes at Zheng Jinshu before picking up the chopsticks.
Zheng Jinshu looked at Gu Zizhan with embarrassment in his eyes.
