The general is always teased

Shen Yijin hasn't been to Tong's Mansion for several days.

On the second day after he declined the marriage, after class, the manager of Tong's Mansion came to tell him that the young masters would go to Yangzhou's natal family with Mrs. Tong, and they would not return until a few days or half a month. Time, he doesn't have to come.

Shen Yijin understood that it was probably because Master Tong was still angry, and she didn't want him to come, so she agreed without saying anything.

And since that day, four days have passed.

When Shen Yijin and Shi Nanyue arrived in front of Tong's Mansion, it was just two quarters past, but the street market was already full of vendors, and the shops on both sides were also open. People were coming and going, and it was very lively.

Tong's Mansion started as a tea merchant at first. When he came to Master Tong's place, he became richer and richer. He has not only sold tea, but also involved in various industries. The embankment on the bank of the river built the mansion on the edge of the West Lake, and it was built around the West Lake, and its main gate was on the busiest East Street. There were two stone lions at the gate, and the vermilion gate was very conspicuous.

Stopping at the door, Shen Yijin looked at the closed door in front of her, pondered for a while, then turned her head and said to Shi Nanyue: "... Otherwise, go find a place to sit down and wait for me, I'd better go in by myself."

After hearing this, Shi Nanyue asked him, "Why?"

Shen Yijin smiled wryly, sighed again, and then slowly explained: "Master Tong and Mrs. Tong should not calm down now, because of their attitude, the servants will no longer respect me as much as before. If you If you are with me, you will probably be treated coldly, and you may hear harsh words..."

"It doesn't matter." Shi Nanyue interrupted Shen Yijin's words, smiled at him again, his eyes were very gentle, and he said indifferently: "I don't mind, if they want to talk, let them say it."

Shen Yijin frowned: "But..."

Pressing his shoulder, Shi Nanyue interrupted him again, and said seriously: "I said, it's okay."

Shen Yijin opened his mouth, originally wanting to say something else, but when he met Shi Nanyue's eyes full of tenderness and concern, he suddenly understood - the reason why Shi Nanyue insisted on going in with him was because Shi Nanyue was in the Worry about him, don't want him to face it alone.

Shi Nanyue wanted to let him know that there was someone by his side, not alone.

Feeling warm in his heart, Shen Yijin didn't ask Shi Nanyue to leave again. He raised his head, smiled at Shi Nanyue, then walked forward and knocked on the door of Tong's Mansion.

Soon someone came to open the door, and seeing that it was Shen Yijin, he said directly: "The young masters haven't returned from Yangzhou yet, why is Mr. Tong here?"

Shen Yijin said: "Please tell me, I want to see Master Tong."

When the servant heard this, he thought that Shen Yijin regretted the refusal of the marriage and wanted to come to Master Tong to agree to the marriage again. Looking at him, his eyes became more contemptuous, and he said bluntly, "Wait, I'll report to Master."

After finishing speaking, he slammed the door and did not let Shen Yijin in.

Shi Nanyue frowned.

Turning his head to look at Shen Yijin, Shi Nanyue asked him: "They have always treated you like this?"

Shaking her head, Shen Yijin said: "It wasn't like this in the past, probably because they thought I didn't know how to flatter you, and because Master Tong's attitude changed, this change happened."

The two were talking, when the servant just now opened the door again, and said to Shen Yijin, "Master let you in."

Arching her hands, Shen Yijin thanked and said, "Thank you."

Shi Nanyue was about to go in with Shen Yijin, but was stopped by the servant and asked, "Who are you?"

Shi Nanyue didn't answer, but just glanced at the servant indifferently, the servant was already a little trembling, his feet were weak, the servant swallowed his saliva, he didn't dare to continue to stop him, and obediently let him go.

Until Shi Nanyue and Shen Yijin walked away, the servant's feet were still weak.

Shi Nanyue is a general, so he is very majestic. The enemy will be afraid when they see him, not to mention that this person is just an ordinary person, so he is terribly scared.

Looking back at the reaction of the servant, Shen Yijin felt it was funny, but at the same time felt relieved, he approached Shi Nanyue, and said firmly in a low voice: "You did it on purpose."

Seeing the little scholar in front of him smiling happily, Shi Nanyue resisted the urge to hug him, and asked softly, "Do you feel relieved?"

Shen Yijin nodded, and said, "Relieve your anger."

When Shi Nanyue heard this, the smile in his eyes deepened.

The two chatted in a low voice, and soon reached the main hall.

Lifting her feet and stepping in, Shen Yijin raised her head and saw Master Tong sitting on it. When she saw herself, her face was long and her eyes were cold and disdainful. She was not as kind and kind as before.

Shen Yijin thought, maybe this is Master Tong's true face, what he saw before was just a hypocritical mask.

Without letting Shen Yijin sit down, Master Tong just gave him a high-handed look, and asked, "You regret coming to me, do you want to regret it?"

Shen Yijin shook her head: "Miss Biao was born noble, I dare not climb her high." The implication is that he didn't come to repent.

Shen Yijin bowed slightly, made a bow to Master Tong, and without beating around the bush, said bluntly: "I am here today to ask you to resign. I am afraid that I will not be able to continue to be a teacher in the mansion and teach several young masters." I am very grateful to you and your wife for taking care of me all these years."

Master Tong was taken aback when he heard the words, but after he realized it, his expression softened a bit.

After being politely rejected for marriage, he felt that Shen Yijin was ungrateful and dissatisfied with Shen Yijin. He had already planned to change him, and the person had already been found. It was Shen Yijin, so he hadn't formally proposed it yet, and had been thinking of a proper solution.

But now that Shen Yijin took the initiative to propose to him, he could save a lot of trouble and not offend old man Lin, so he was very happy. Once he was happy, Shen Yijin didn't look so unpleasant, and his complexion improved a lot.

Master Tong said: "Sit down and talk." Only then did he finally remember to ask Shen Yijin to sit down.

Shen Yijin was about to speak, but Shi Nanyue grabbed his hand first, pulled him behind him, and said for him: "You don't need to sit down, we are leaving."

Only then did Master Tong discover Shi Nanyue's existence.

Hearing Shi Nanyue's tone, Master Tong's face relaxed again. He straightened his face and was about to explode, but when he saw Shi Nanyue's outstanding appearance and different temperament from others, he thought he was either rich or expensive, so he started to make friends, so he restrained himself Angry, he asked, "Who are you?"

Shi Nanyue didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Seeing him, Shen Yijin tugged Shi Nanyue's sleeve helplessly, poked his head out from behind Shi Nanyue, smiled shyly at Master Tong, and introduced: "He is my friend." After a pause, he again He said: "I came here today to ask for my leave, now that I've finished speaking, it's time to say my goodbyes."

After finishing speaking, he bowed to Master Tong again, and then pulled Shi Nanyue and turned to leave.

Being led all the way out of Tong's Mansion, Shi Nanyue looked at the hand held by Shen Yijin, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably raised, and he was very happy.

He deliberately reminded Shen Yijin silently that Shi Nanyue wanted to extend this contact a little longer, so after walking for a long time, Shen Yijin still held his hand and forgot to let go.

It wasn't until Shen Yijin came back to his senses and noticed that the pedestrians around him were frequently looking at them, that he realized that he was still holding Shi Nanyue's hand. His cheeks flushed, and he quickly let go of his hand. After a while, he raised his face again. , smiled apologetically at Shi Nanyue, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I was lost in thought just now."

Looking down at his empty palm, Shi Nanyue felt a little disappointed. He clenched the hand held by Shen Yijin into a fist, and put his back behind his back. Then he smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Shen Yijin didn't pay attention to his small movements, but just turned her eyes to the restaurant not far away, and smelled the fragrance wafting in the air, felt a little hungry, and said, "Let's go back after lunch."

Shi Nanyue looked at him dotingly, and when he heard this, he said hello gently.
