Chapter 14 The maid's daughter

He paid the money obediently and sent Shan Baoqian, the vampire, away. Shan Xiaowu turned back to his yard with a sad face.

As soon as she was about to enter the door, she bumped into a man. The two of them turned back and fell to the ground at the same time. Just as Shan Xiaowu was still full of stars and couldn't find the north, the person who hit her had already screamed first, "Miss!"

"It's a young lady, she's really a young lady! Miss, you are finally back! Miss, woo-woo, Miss, Feicui miss you so much. You're back!" The happy high decibel screams continued to bombard in his ears. Shan Xiaowu, who was already a little sleep-deprived, felt a headache at this time.

"Jade, stop screaming, my head hurts."

Covering her ears in pain, Shan Xiaowu waved her hand helplessly to signal that the maidservant Jade, who had served her since she was a child, was quiet. Her ears were almost deaf.

"Miss, doesn't Jade miss you?"

The maidservant, who is called emerald, wears a flying bun and looks only fifteen or sixteen years old. Because she is young, her skin is very tender, and her cheeks are red. When she speaks, her mouth is always slightly pouted, which looks quite cute.

He ran over in three or two steps to help Shan Xiaowu up and took her to sit on the chair. Taking advantage of the gap of pouring tea, Feicui pouted her red little mouth and began to complain, "Miss is so boring that she actually left Feicui to run out alone."

Shan Xiaowu took a sip of tea and took two sips. He took the opportunity to glance at her and hummed, "It's not the first time. I said it's too far away. It's not safe to take you there."

"Jade is not afraid! Jade wants to protect the young lady!"

The jadeite bulged her face, raised her chin and raised her chest, saying that she was indeed sure that she could protect Shan Xiaowu.

"Okay, okay, I know you're awesome." Shan Xiaowu poured three cups of tea in a row, and then patted her hand to comfort her, "But before you protect me, should you take good care of me first?"

"Emerald is the one who serves the young lady." The little girl answered righteously.

Shan Xiaowu smiled and said, "Well, now I'm going to take a bath and change my clothes to meet your wife. Why don't you go and prepare water?"

"Ah?!" Feicui opened her mouth wide, and then nodded repeatedly. On the other hand, she threw her legs and ran out. "Ji Feicui is going to let Zhaocai Jinbao and others boil water. Miss, wait a minute. Feicui will be back soon."

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you."

The small five elbows were against the table, his palms dragged his face, and he looked at the jadeite running out of the door with a smile.

"Miss."

Not long after Feicui left, another graceful figure swayed in. A pink maid's suit also can't hide her unique temperament, melon seed face, willow leaf eyebrows, Danfeng eyes with Dan Baoqian, plus a straight nose, and the slightly soft red mouth, beautiful appearance. It's Shan Xiaowu, a woman who can't help admiring it. What's more, it's more delicate than a baby's skin. Shan Xiaowu is jealous once.

"Pearl, you hit me again."

Lying on the table weakly, Shan Xiaowu tilted his head and looked at his other maid, Pearl, who opened the food box she brought here. With a calm expression, she took out some of her favorite cakes, put them on the table one by one, and pulled a pair of chopsticks into Shan Xiaowu's hand. Then he replied with dismay, "Miss is here again. I made fun of the maidservant."

"No way," Shan Xiaowu bit his chopsticks and looked sad. "Obviously, I'm just envious and jealous of you. Can't you see it?"

Every time she looks at Pearl, she has the illusion that she is a maid, and Pearl is the daughter who is raised in her boudoir - look at her, that calm momentum alone suppresses herself a lot, not to mention that Pearl is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the female red is even better, but she even has a needle embroidery. I don't know - it's really devastating. It's not easy for Miss Qianjin to get along these days.

"I can't see it." Pearl had no expression on her face. She just took a teacup and poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Shan Xiaowu. "When I heard the voice of jade outside, I guessed that the young lady must have come back. On the way back, I went to the kitchen to get some snacks. Miss, please eat while it's hot."

"It's still Pearl, you know me."

Although there was a pile of barbecue in his stomach and he was not hungry for the time being, those exquisite snacks with full color, fragrance and taste still aroused Shan Xiaowu's appetite, so he picked up his chopsticks, asked Pearl to sit down together, and devoured.

After using snacks, he told the two of them not to tell the people outside about their return home. Shan Xiaowu took a petal bath under the service of pearl jade, and changed a set of clean clothes. Let the pearl combed a simple bun for himself and tied up his appearance before he stepped on all kinds of pretentious steps to visit her mother, that is, Liu, the only lady in Shanfu.

Mrs. Shan over there was still looking uneasily at the door in the lobby. Shan Xiaowu suddenly jumped out of the corridor. As soon as she turned around, she was facing Shan Xiaowu's face, "Mother~~~~~~"

Frightened by such a person, Mrs. Shan's face turned white. It took her a long time to come to her senses. Seeing that it was the piece of meat hanging on the tip of her heart, she walked over crying and laughing. She reached out and poked her on the forehead, "Bad girl, finally willing to come to see her mother? How dare you scare your mother, look at me..."

"Oh, mother, be gentle, be gentle, Xiao Wu will never dare again, mother~"

Although Mrs. Shan was not heavy, Shan Xiaowu was still addicted to the play, and immediately coaxed her mother over.

Does it hurt? Come on, mother, look..."

"Haha, it's a lie. It doesn't hurt at all." Holding Mrs. Shan's arm coquettishly, Shan Xiaowu put his head on her shoulder and rubbed it, "Mom, Xiaowu misses you so much..."

Mrs. Shan let her lead her into the room. Hearing this, she couldn't help but glance at her. She poked Shan Xiaowu's forehead with her hand holding a handkerchief, and said angrily, "If you really miss your mother, why do you run out for three days and go for so many days as soon as you go? Do you want to worry about your mother?"

"Hey hey..." On this point, Shan Xiaowu's limited expression ability can only pretend to be stupid.

"Bear mother, didn't I tell you last time that there is an herbal recipe that can keep your skin tender and smooth when applied to your face?" Shan Xiaowu leaned against Mrs. Shan and said, "This time I helped my mother bring all the herbs."

"Really?" After all, Mrs. Shan is also a beauty lover. Hearing what her daughter said, she couldn't help touching her face.

"Of course," Shan Xiaowu hurriedly came up and tried to flatter him. "Although you don't need to apply that herbal medicine at all like my mother's natural beauty, it will become more and more beautiful after more maintenance. I'm sure I can fascinate my father."

She was amused by her words. Mrs. Shan patted her baby daughter on the head and scolded with a smile, "You are the girl with a sweet mouth."

"No, what they said is all the truth," Shan Xiaowu was not stingy and poured down with another bowl of confused soup. "If you are not a beauty, how can you let your father love your mother wholeheartedly for so long? Mother, don't you think so?

"It's you." Mrs. Shan's face was proud, and her eyebrows were smiling. Obviously, Shan Xiaowu's words reached her heart.

"Madam, young lady, the young master is back." The mother and daughter were talking and laughing, and a small maid came in and bent down to report to them.

"Huh? Is the eldest brother back, too?" Shan Xiaowu touched his nose and subconsciously wanted to slip back to his room first. "Mom, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do..."

"What? Do you want to leave when you hear me coming?"

A bright voice came from the outside, and then a long navy blue figure stepped into the door. The paper fan shook gently, with a smile on the jade-like face. The hair covered with loose hair only picked a strand of hoop behind the head. As he walked around, his clothes flew over, and the green silk flew, which was very beautiful.

The corners of Shan Xiaowu's mouth twitched. Looking at the person who was getting closer and closer, he couldn't help sighing in his heart. Sure enough, his short legs are a cup.

"Brother, are you back?" A woman with a fake smile on her face and knowing that she couldn't escape automatically threw her dignity aside. The dog ran over and took Shan Jinlin's arm. "Big brother, are you tired? Is your shoulder sore? Why don't I help you pinch and massage?

"What? Didn't you just say something happened as soon as you heard me come back? Shan Jinlin let her hold her and didn't pierce her, but the smile on her face instantly turned into the unique smile of the fox. He closed the folding fan and habitually reached out to pinch Shan Xiaowu's face. "Isn't it too late to pay attention now?"

"No, you have a good file in the big pot."

His cheeks were seriously deformed. Shan Xiaowu once again followed the 10,000 grass and mud horses running by with deep tears. Even if there was, he did not dare to say it in front of you.

Do you know why she doesn't want to see her eldest brother now? Yes, that's right! It's because he always pinched her face, and he has been pinched since he was a child!

"Okay, okay, stop it." Mrs. Shan looked at her son and daughter making trouble for a long time before she opened her mouth with a smile. By the way, she stepped forward and opened Shan Jinlin's hand. Only then could Shan Xiaowu get back her sad face.

"Mom, the eldest brother always pinches other people's faces. Look, you see," once he was rescued, Shan Xiaowu immediately slipped behind Mrs. Shan and complained, "I've pinched his face. What if I think my face is too big to get married in the future?"

"It's better if you can't get married. Stay at home, and the eldest brother will raise you." Shan Jinlin put a fan against his chin and smiled. He reached out and pinched the other cheek of Shan Xiaowu. Shan Xiaowu quickly covered his face and dodged.

Shan Xiaowu burst into tears and knew why she avoided her eldest brother, right? Yes, there is another reason. Her eldest brother is the kind of fox spirit who is weak and harmless in appearance and super black inside, regardless of his sister's life and death! She is afraid of being tricked!

"Mom, the eldest brother bullied me."

"Who made you have a fleshy face since you were a child? It's fun to pinch it." Shan Jinlin didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his little sister's behavior, and he pushed all his mistakes on Shan Xiaowu's head.

Sand Xiaowu burst into tears again with his face, "Mother..."

"Okay, okay, stop it. Lin'er is the same. What nonsense," Mrs. Shan shook her head and said, "No one wants his sister to get married. Talk nonsense."

"That's it." Shan Xiaowu hid behind Mrs. Shan, only half of his face and nodded wildly.

"Yo, it's so lively. Did I miss something?"

Before the person arrived, Shan Xiaowu's voice just fell, and her second brother Qian Jing over there also came to join in the fun.

"Second brother." Seeing him, he remembered the two hundred taels of white silver he had just sent out. Shan Xiaowu twisted his face, and his tone was naturally not very good.

"It turns out that Yuan Baomei is also here, and the eldest brother," Shan Baoqian came in with his hands swaggering behind his back. First, he greeted Mrs. Shan, and then sat down on the chair carelessly, staring at Shan Jinlin and following Xiaowu with a smile. "I thought I was the first to come to my mother's side. It's coming."

"It was me the first." Shan Xiaowu came out of most of his body from behind Mrs. Shan, and then withdrew with a protest.

Shan Jinlin and Shan Baoqian looked at the two brothers and smiled meaningfully at Shan Xiaowu one after another, but a woman who was busy chatting with Mrs. Shan didn't find out.

"Mom, where's Dad? Why didn't you see anyone?" Shan Xiaowu stretched out his neck and looked left and right. Shouldn't her father usually jump out to express his great fatherly love at this time? Why hasn't she seen him appear after she has been home for so long now?

Speaking of her father, it is also a strange flower in the eyes of money.

When her mother was about to give birth to have a baby in October, his family was still out of town. As soon as he heard that his baby daughter was born, he immediately left half of the business and rushed back. As soon as he entered the city, someone vividly depicted him that the golden light on the roof when his daughter was born became a big ingot.

Shan Qiuchai, the master of the Shan family, was happy after hearing this. The first thing he saw his daughter was to give her a big name on the spot: Shan Duojin, which means Duoduo Jin.

Fortunately, she was still a sleepy baby at that time. Otherwise, when she heard this vulgar name when she was awake, she would cry out on the spot.

If it hadn't been for her mother, who didn't read much, but was also virtuous. I'm afraid that Dad Shan would have really sent someone to put this name on her head.

Later, it was said that the name was given by her mother. At that time, her mother could not think of a good name in her book, but at least she knew how to count it. She and her husband and two sons were four, and her newborn daughter was the fifth. So she thought about it and simply settled it. Hammered tone, directly called Xiao Wu, easy to read and remember.

Although Shan's father, who was disliked for his naming ability, was wronged, he did not dare to offend his wife. He could only try to give his daughter multiple nicknames Yuanbao - anyway, it was not a big name, and Shan Xiaowu's mother also thought it was okay, so from then on, a single girl added a nickname: Yuan Baomei.

"Your father went to the neighboring county to inspect the business. He knew that you were coming back and had already got into the carriage in advance. I guess he will arrive early tomorrow morning." Mrs. Shan took Shan Xiaowu's hand and patted it, and then looked at the two brothers. "Since everyone is here, let's eat first. After running outside for so many days, you girl must not have eaten well."

Mrs. Shan said, and the maid beside him made a color. The maid nodded and retreated quietly.
