Chapter 16 This man is so difficult to take care of
Shen Luo smiled calmly, her eyes were fixed on the person in front of her, and she held a beautifully arranged fruit in her hand. Her voice was a little sweet, "Sister, this is the fruit prepared in the kitchen. Mr. Qin is in your room. I see You brought it up before you came down."
Shen Manzhi glanced at the fruit plate in her hand, his eyes slightly cold, and he retracted the sentence "Knowing that Mr. Qin is in my room and still bothering us" between his lips and teeth in time, but with a slightly cold expression, "No, we will come down later."
Then she closed the door without waiting for Shen Luo to say another word.
The reason why she and Shen Luo don't deal with each other is not because she pretends to be a considerate, sensible and knowledgeable sister, but she can act with her.
Shen Luo was not surprised at all by what Shen Manzhi did just now. She was slightly stunned and prepared to go downstairs with the fruit plate in hand.
Jiang Xu came down from upstairs, buttoning the cuffs of his suit as he walked.
Shen Luo happened to be in the corridor on the second floor, "Brother, do you want to go out?"
Jiang Xu responded slightly and glanced behind her. The only room behind the corridor where Shen Luo was located belonged to Shen Manzhi.
The man didn't stop, because Shen Luo followed him downstairs, so he casually asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Luo spoke softly and in a gentle tone, "I cut the fruit in the kitchen. Mr. Qin was in Sister Manzhi's room, so I thought I would take it to them to eat, but Sister Manzhi didn't want it."
Jiang Xu knew about Shen Manzhi's marriage to the young master of the Qin family, so he didn't ask much. He greeted the housekeeper and went out without coming back for dinner in the evening.
Shen Luo placed the fruit plate on the dining table and pointed at the marble tabletop slenderly.
She stood outside Shen Manzhi's room. Although they were looking at each other, in the corner of her eye was the back of the man on the balcony behind the woman. He was thin and his posture was somewhat lazy.
It is a kind of lazy feeling that is relaxed because of the comfortable environment.
With a marriage relationship, it is different after all. Shen Luo's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her original sweet expression gradually faded away.
Shen Manzhi closed the door and turned around, with the man's long back reflected in his eyes. The sunlight refracted through the glass window, coating the man's body with an illusory light color, noble and unknowingly.
At the right time, Qin Yanfeng turned around. The man with the light behind his back had extremely dark eyes, as indifferent and noble as a god, but he casually fell on the woman a few meters away.
The tone of his voice was cold, without a trace of emotion, "Are you opposed to this marriage because you don't want to comply with the Shen family's wishes, or because you have no intention of getting married in the first place?"
Shen Manzhi still held a white towel in his hand, and half of his lips curled up when he heard this, "Both."
Marriage is not in her life plan for the time being.
Qin Yanfeng's eyes followed the beauty brought out by that smile and met the woman's eyes.
They were a pair of beautiful eyes, tinged with charm, their eyes were as bright as stars, and their expression was calm and casual.
Qin Yanfeng hid the exploration in his eyes, glanced away, took two steps forward and sat on the small sofa beside him.
Shen Manzhi looked at him for a while. This man cherished words like gold, just like her.
Seeing that he didn't speak again, he went to the bathroom to put down a towel and came out to put on light makeup.
She rarely wears makeup, mostly to support the momentum required by the occasion. Sometimes a touch of lipstick is enough to look stunning.
Qin Yanfeng didn't know why she put on makeup at home. Although she looked more beautiful than when he saw her in the police station last night, she was also a little more reserved and distant.
After cleaning up, she asked, "Do you want to go down?"
The man said lazily, "Boring."
Shen Manzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, "The small garden downstairs is nice."
Qin Yanfeng thought for two seconds and finally stood up.
They chased people away and gave them steps, so he had to step down, right? The small garden was outside the glass door of the side hall of the living room. There was no one in the living room downstairs. Qin Yanfeng followed the woman and stopped.
"What would you like to drink?"
"random."
The man said a few words coldly, turned around and went to the small garden.
Shen Manzhi glanced at the man whose back looked cold and distant, and suddenly felt a strange feeling. This man was so difficult to take care was a chef and an aunt preparing dinner in the kitchen. Shen Manzhi saw a cabinet of red wine and a tea can below. Shen Duanwen loved tea ceremony, and something that caught his eye was authentic and rare.
She turned and went to the kitchen, "Aunt Lan, make a cup of Jin Junmei."
Aunt Lan turned around and saw her, and quickly washed her hands, "Okay, miss, I'll go right away."
Shen Manzhi leaned against the closet and said, "Grandma is upstairs?"
Aunt Lan is an elder of the Shen family and is dedicated to the Shen family. "The old lady got up in the afternoon to receive Mr. Qin. She is tired again and is still resting in the room."
"How is grandma's appetite lately?"
Aunt Lan boiled water specially made for making tea and poured it into a glass. "The old lady eats lightly and has three normal meals a day. The old lady also takes the nutritional supplements that the eldest lady brought. The old lady is old. It is inevitable that she will be a little less energetic, so you don’t need to worry too much, young lady.”
The eldest lady is unwilling to return to the Shen family, but she is extremely filial to the old lady. Aunt Lan sees it. No matter how the outside world says she has a bad reputation, Aunt Lan will subconsciously refute her in her heart.
Shen Manzhi lowered his eyebrows and wondered what he was thinking. Aunt Lan put the tea leaves into the cup, brewed the tea and put it on the tray.
"Arrange a nutritionist to prepare a diet for grandma. Aunt Lan, please bring more snacks to me." Shen Manzhi took the tray from Aunt Lan's hand.
In fact, the old lady is just too lonely. It would be nice if the eldest lady comes back often. Aunt Lan knew that it would be useless to talk more, so she smiled gently and said, "The old lady's current diet is matched by a nutritionist. The young master arranged this half a year ago. , The old lady has a good appetite."
Shen Manzhi was slightly stunned, it was Jiang Xu, "Yeah."
She took the tea and left.
Aunt Lan frowned and rubbed her hands, wondering if she had said something she shouldn't have said. The eldest lady was like an outsider in this family. If she mentioned Master Jiang Xu in front of her, it would inevitably break her heart. Lan Auntie sighed softly.
Shen Manzhi didn't take it to heart. This family had long lost its meaning to her, and Jiang Xu's status in this family had nothing to do with her.
After walking behind the curtain of the side hall, Shen Manzhi stopped when he heard the sweet laughter coming from the small garden in front. He looked up and saw only the back of the man.
From her perspective, she saw that the woman sitting next to Qin Yanfeng leaned forward slightly, and her smiling cheek touched the man's side, which was very ambiguous.
Shen Manzhi put the tea in his hand on the counter next to him, brushed off the tea leaves casually with the lid, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Shen Luo's voice has always been very recognizable, elegant and delicate, making people lovable as soon as she hears it.
"I heard from Master Zhou that Mr. Qin likes concerts. The Grand Theater invited Bai Zhi to come over. I have the tickets in my hand, but my sister doesn't like this. Can I invite you to come with me?"
Concert-goers naturally know that this low-key and powerful international conductor rarely attends a concert in China. Countless people come to admire him and it is hard to get a ticket.
Her ticket was one of the few allocated to C Music Academy.
The man's voice was as low as ever, with a layer of imperceptible alienation and indifference all over his body. He spoke for the first time since Shen Luo sat down next to him, "Bai Qing?"
Shen Luo's eyes lit up and she smiled softly, "Yes, Bai Zhi was brought up by the dean of the Music Department of C University, and he is half a Huaicheng person..."
Shen Manzhi put down the tea cup and walked away, leaving behind the strong tea with a light sweet aroma slowly spreading its heat.
The old lady's room is usually kept hidden to prevent others from discovering it in case of accidents.
The light in the room was soft, a small lamp stood beside the bed, and the open book was placed on the right side of the old man.
Shen Manzhi gently pulled the quilt to cover the old man's exposed hand, took the old book with yellowing pages and sat down on the chair next to him.
I wonder if when people reach a certain age or experience, they like to experience the thoughts of saints from some profound enlightenments. They gradually repent or understand the entangled and persistent things in the past, and begin to become gentle and casual.
There were four lines written on the open page.
If you don't see evil, you will be jealous; if you don't see good advice, you will be foolish; if you don't give up wisdom, you will be foolish; if you don't throw away confusion, you will be enlightened.
She can often think of an image.
The bell tower of the ancient temple, the incense cauldron scriptures, a tall and straight pine-like figure standing on the stone steps, the Buddhist pure land under his feet, and the prayer wheel chants in his ears. He knows all the rules of conduct in this world, but he just doesn't listen. Language, noncommittal.
The light and wind shadow are lingering, not stained by a trace of dust.
