"I've learned little in my life. Although I'm not very capable, as long as I'm still eating the salary given to me by the people, I should be worthy of this official's robe."
For some reason, when these words came out of the mouth of this man with a round face that looked like a steamed bun, it was especially shocking. Ning Shu couldn't help but be filled with admiration. She stood up and took a step back. She cupped her hands solemnly towards Tan Siwei and said, "Shaoqing is righteous, but Ning Shu is particularly limited. Please accept Ning Shu's bow."
Tan Siwei's face flushed red. "Ah, no, no. Get up quickly. I'm not as good as you say … You're making me look bad." He hurriedly got up and helped her up. However, when he touched her soft arms, he was suddenly hit by a hidden weapon outside the window. "Ouch!" He cried out and fell backwards.
Tan Siwei clutched his chest and cried out, "What is it! Is it an assassin? Shu 'er, quickly hide behind me. I'll protect you! "
Ning Shu took a closer look. The thing that rolled out of his chest was none other than a golden pearl. She quickly stepped forward and kicked it to Zi Gui's feet. Her eyes signaled for her to quickly hide.
Tan Siwei looked at the master and servant's little movements in confusion. Ning Shu hurriedly stepped in front of Zi Gui. She played dumb and said, "It's broad daylight, and we're in a medical center. How could it be an assassin?" Her eyes drifted. She picked up a small stone from the corner of the wall and said, "It's this stone, isn't it? The children playing outside the medical center must have been mischievous and lost their sense of propriety. They just happened to shoot it in and hit Shaoqing. The children are young and probably already ran away. It's better not to argue with them. "
Tan Siwei asked suspiciously, "Really?"
Ning Shu nodded with certainty. "It must be so!" She looked out of the window. She wanted to facepalm. It was just an accidental touch. She really underestimated how childish someone could be. Tan Shaoqing, oh Tan Shaoqing, I can only apologize to you.
Tan Siwei did not doubt her and nodded silently. Fortunately, he was not injured, only his chest was bruised. Back to the topic, he untied the thick gauze on his head, put on the official robe, and added: "By the way, Shu 'er, when I was here with those beggars yesterday, I accidentally heard Shen Dafu say that the girl named Wenwen's condition was a bit strange. At that time, she was very dizzy, so she didn't think much about it. Maybe we can ask Shen Dafu for more details."
After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment, then turned back to put on the silk hat and hurriedly walked out.
Ning Shu looked around, looking at the elegant jasmine flower on the windowsill and the half of a plain hairpin that could be vaguely seen behind the mirror. Zi Gui bent his knees and squatted down, holding the cool and refreshing mugwort incense tied to the foot of the bed. The master and servant both raised their eyebrows and smiled at each other.
Fortunately, although Shen Dafu's face was cold, his heart was not cold. When Ning Shu asked, he told the truth. He said that the little girl named Wenwen was suffering from tuberculosis and had been sick for more than a year. According to her situation, she should have died a long time ago, but she survived until now. Therefore, he concluded that there must be a very clever doctor who gave her medicine to prolong her life. The three little guys were very tight-lipped. Shen Dafu repeatedly asked, but they refused to answer. Last night, the three little guys took the medicine in the medical hall and quietly ran away. Their whereabouts were unknown.
Before leaving, Ning Shu returned the scattered lovesickness beans and the red string to Shen Dafu: "Shen Dafu, this string of lovesickness beans should be yours. Before Tan Shaoqing left, he specifically asked me to give it to him. Tan Shaoqing squatted on the ground and picked them up one by one. I can see that this red string has a lot of wear and tear. It has always been a treasure that Shen Dafu has been wearing for many years. It's better to keep it. "
Shen Yan stopped the pestle in her hand and looked at the beads with a pair of clear eyes. Then, she turned her head and said: "It's old, I don't want it. I'll have to trouble Lady Ning to throw it away for me."
Ning Shu smiled and forcibly held Shen Yan's hand and stuffed the red beads into her palm: "Shen Dafu said that you don't want it, but you still can't help but look at it. This is a typical case of saying one thing and thinking another. If I didn't guess wrong, Tan Shaoqing's room is not a ward at all, but a boudoir for Shen Dafu to rest. "
"You!" Shen Yan frowned in anger. Then, she heard Ning Shu's sincere eyes continue: "Tan Shaoqing is a person with a pure temperament and no distracting thoughts. But this is also his weakness. If you don't say something, I'm afraid he won't think in that direction in his life. Instead of waiting for him to take the initiative to open his mind, it's better to take the initiative and take the initiative in your own hands. Maybe there will be unexpected gains. "
Shen Yan was stunned. She felt the familiar touch of the red beads in her palm. She lowered her head and smiled bitterly. Then, she softly said: "But he doesn't even remember me. I never existed in his world. What kind of identity should I stand in front of him and tell him about the past that he doesn't remember? I also have my pride."
Ning Shu didn't care about her image at all. She bent down and looked at Shen Yan: "Pride is nothing."
