Chapter 5 The first confrontation
When they arrived at Mrs. Xie's residence, Mrs. Xie carefully looked at Shen Liuzhen's appearance. He had two corner buns on his head, a pair of round eyes, black and white, very clear. When he pursed his lips and smiled, there was something on his lips. Two small dimples.
Mrs. Xie liked it and said to the maid behind her: "You look really good." She then asked Shen Liuzhen:
"Your mother must be a beauty."
Shen Liuzhen replied: "Back to my wife, my mother has died since I was born, so I don't know what she looks like."
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Mrs. Xie's face slowly faded. She was really heartbroken to see such a young child without his mother, so she asked in a gentler tone:
"Then who usually takes care of you?"
"My nanny used to take care of me. Later, my father received an order to move, and the nanny couldn't keep up, so I found another nanny to take care of me. Every time I moved, I had to take care of me. Now it's the...eighth one." Shen Liuzhenchui. He closed his eyes, clasped his fingers and recalled, speaking in a very normal tone.
But the more normal he was and the more natural he acted, the tighter Mrs. Xie's heart became.
She reached out and pulled Shen Liuzhen to her, touched Shen Liuzhen's cheek lovingly, and said with tears in her eyes:
"Your father is a military commander. He fights everywhere to make a career like this. There is nothing we can do about it. If you have any grievances in the future, just come to your master or me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "dong" sound. Everyone looked and saw that it was Xie Yuan who fell off the round teacup. The teacup fell to the ground and hit the floor with a muffled sound, but she jumped aside well. .
Seeing her mother, Mrs. Xie, looking at her with reproachful eyes, she hurriedly put her head down and stood up, as if she had done something wrong.
The maid couldn't help laughing, and quickly went to help the boy up.
Mrs. Xie couldn't help laughing when she saw her pretending to be obedient. She pulled Shen Liuzhen and said:
"Don't worry about her. She just can't sit still. It's hard to get her to sit with me for a while. She's always making a fuss."
Xie Yuan heard this and said aggrievedly:
"Mom, it's not because I'm playful this time. It's because I got hit yesterday and my butt hurts and I can't sit down."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room laughed, including Shen Liuzhen.
Suddenly the room was filled with laughter and laughter.
Mrs. Xie didn't feel annoyed when she saw Shen Liuzhen standing quietly, asking and answering questions.
Then look at the way Xie Yuan of his own family is a girl, but he can't hold it down any time. He said to Shen Liuzhen with emotion:
"Although this is the first time we have met, I really like you very much, and your master must be the same way. We have always wanted a son like you, but God has not given him one."
Mrs. Xie's expression was very sad.
Shen Liuzhen glanced back subconsciously, and sure enough he saw Xie Yuan looking at him coldly with those red phoenix eyes, obviously filled with resentment and resistance.
This emotion was all too familiar to him.
He suddenly realized that Xie Yuan, like himself, was a child despised by his family...
It turns out they are the same... miserable.
Mrs. Xie probably saw Xie Yuan's expression, and said to Shen Liuzhen: "If A Yuan bullies you, just tell us directly, and I will teach her a lesson with your master and stand up for you."
Shen Liuzhen smiled and said nothing.
At this time, he felt that he and Xie Yuan were almost like brothers, and no one was any better than the other.
After chatting for a while, Father Shen was about to leave, and someone came from the front to call Shen Liuzhen back.
Mrs. Xie looked at him very reluctantly and said, "The child can just stay here and play. Why rush to let him go back?"
The maid replied: "Captain Shen said that the Xie family has moved to the new year, and there are so many people coming to visit. The head of the family and his wife must be busy. Since the children of the two families have become disciples of each other, they are their own children, and they are not here at this time. Adding to the chaos."
When Mrs. Xie heard this, she laughed heartily and said, "This Colonel Shen is really a straightforward and interesting person."
She held Shen Liuzhen's hand, looked at him lovingly and said, "In the future, you can come over to play or eat at any time. If you feel wronged, you can also come over and talk to your wife about what's on your mind."
"I understand, Liu Zhen, thank you, Mistress." Shen Liu Zhen said sweetly, showing his dimples.
"A Yuan, go and see Liu Zhen off." Mrs. Xie ordered.
"Yes." Although Xie Yuan felt extremely uncomfortable, he responded obediently and took Shen Liuzhen out.
But not long after she led Shen Liuzhen out of the door, she stopped, turned around with a fierce look, and stared at Shen Liuzhen with a hint of jealousy.
"What...what are you doing?" Shen Liuzhen felt something was wrong and stuttered a little.
He subconsciously raised an arm to protect his chest.
Sure enough, without saying anything, Xie Yuan pushed him directly on the shoulder, causing Shen Liuzhen to stagger and take several steps back.
"Why can't I see how you are better than me? How are you better?" Xie Yuan asked angrily.
She gets angry when she thinks of how nice her mother was to him just now and said she wanted a son like him!
Thinking this way, she felt very angry and pushed him viciously again with her mouth tightened.
This time, Shen Liuzhen was pushed directly against the pillar of the corridor. If he hadn't been against the pillar, he would have fallen to the ground.
The maid who was following them saw this and stood still without daring to stop them.
Everyone knows Xie Yuan's ability to make trouble. If he offends her, just seeing her shadow will be exhausting, let alone guarding against her causing trouble.
But she couldn't really ignore it. So the maid hesitated, stood aside and moved her mouth, trying to persuade her angrily: "A Yuan, go back and let Madam know that it's time to be angry again."
But Xie Yuan was unmoved and had no intention of stopping. Instead, he pushed harder and harder:
"Tell me, where do you think you are stronger?"
Shen Liuzhen couldn't help but think bitterly in his heart: How could he meet such a person in his life? He would take action at every turn. His father was not enough, so here comes another one...
Just as he was thinking this, he was pushed unsteadily by Xie Yuan and sat down on the ground...
Xie Yuan was stunned. She didn't know why Shen Liuzhen fell down without pushing him.
She was ready for a fight.
Shen Liuzhen was also stunned, thinking about what to do next.
At this time, under the cloister of the Xie family's carved beams and painted buildings, the sky was just right, half of the sunlight was shining on the ground, and the floor tiles illuminated were clearly distinguishable.
Shen Liuzhen, who was leaning on the ground, raised his head and looked at Xie Yuan, who was standing opposite. The two six-year-old children stared at each other for a long time.
Suddenly... Shen Liuzhen burst out into an earth-shattering cry.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" He opened his mouth wide and cried heartbreakingly. Even the maid standing next to him was so frightened that he shook his head.
Mrs. Xie heard the noise and ran out in a hurry. As soon as she turned the corner of the corridor, she saw Xie Yuan standing in the corridor and Shen Liuzhen lying on the ground. She immediately understood what was going on.
