Shen Yi was familiar with Miss Lu before he went to Jiankang. Logically speaking, when he returned home from Jiankang, he should bring a gift for Miss Lu. After all, Jiankang City is now Dachen's de facto Kyoto.
Dongshi Street and Xishi Street cover everything in Kyushu, and you can buy all kinds of rare things.
However, Shen Yi was indeed in a hurry when he left Jiankang. He had not thought about this matter. Now that Mr. Lu reminded him, he naturally had to go and make up for it.
After leaving Ganquan Academy, Shen Yi hurriedly went to the market by Yudai Lake in Jiangdu. He found several shops and wanted to buy "Jiankang specialties."
The two places are very close, and the items in Jiankang can naturally be bought in Jiangdu. However, after hearing Shen Yi mention Jiankang specialties, the bosses of these Jiangdu markets directly took Shen Yi to a small shop specializing in Jiankang items.
In the shop, there are Jinling embroidery and some beautiful stones with various patterns.
Shen Yi looked around and finally selected a round fan. The embroidery was very exquisite and was double-sided. The front was embroidered with Zhongshan, Jiankang, and the back was embroidered with Jiankang's Ancient Jiming Temple.
There are also those who embroider the Qinhuai River, but the Qinhuai River is the land of romance after all, so it is not appropriate to give it to a girl.
After Shen Yi looked at it for a while, he felt very satisfied. After paying the money, he asked the boss for a wooden box and put the fan in it. Then Master Shen held the box in his hand and went out to stop a freight truck.
Car, sat on the cart, and returned to Ganquan Academy.
It was getting close to evening now.
Shen Yi walked briskly and soon arrived at a courtyard in the backyard of the academy.
This is where Master Lu and Miss Lu live.
After Shen Yi took a deep breath, he stretched out his hand to knock on the door and said, "Junior Sister Lu, Junior Sister Lu."
He has always had this kind of temperament that does not shy away from people. When he came here to meet Miss Lu, he used to call her like this. Because the younger daughter is shy at home, this method of knocking on the door is often very effective.
This time is no exception.
Soon, the little maid Lian'er came over and opened the door for Shen Yi. This little girl who was only fourteen or fifteen years old had a strong personality. She raised her head and glared at Shen Yi.
"Mr. Shen, why are you shouting my girl's name here? Half the people in the academy can hear you calling her, and you have ruined my girl's innocence for nothing!"
Shen Yi did not argue with this little girl, but said with a smile: "Sister Lian'er, I have been away from Jiangdu for more than half a year, and I have finally come back. Naturally, I should pay a visit to Junior Sister Lu."
With that said, he handed over the fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Well, this is the gift I brought to Junior Sister Lu in Jiankang. It is specially sent to Junior Sister Lu."
Lian'er looked at Shen Yi and then at the box in Shen Yi's hand, with doubt in her tone.
"Brought by Jiankang?"
She hummed: "I see you left the master in a hurry just now. You probably went to the city to buy some."
"How can it be?"
Shen Yi was not blushing and out of breath, and said with a smile: "I forgot to bring it with me just now, so I rushed home to get it."
Lian'er then glanced at the wooden box in Shen Yi's hand, then looked back in the direction of her lady, and said to Shen Yi: "Wait here, I'll ask my lady if she will accept it."
After saying that, the little girl turned around, puffed out her cigarette and went to report the news.
The little girl went up to the embroidery building and explained the situation to Miss Lu. After hearing this, Miss Lu frowned and said: "Since...it's a gift brought by someone kindly, you can bring it up."
that is…"
Lian'er blinked and said with a smile: "Miss, Shen Qi brought two girls back from Jiankang. Aren't you angry with him?"
"He and I are brothers and sisters, and we can also be considered friends."
Miss Lu looked at Lian'er and said angrily: "What does it have to do with the two girls around him? Go get his things and send him away. He is standing at the door like this and yelling, do I want to be a human being tomorrow?"
Already?"
Lian'er blinked again and asked with a smile: "Miss, let's collect his things.
Why don’t you go out and see him?”
"What did you see him doing?"
Miss Lu turned away: "I don't want to see him."
Lian'er nodded. The little girl was thoughtful and asked again: "Miss, you're sorry to ask, otherwise I'll ask him what's going on with those two little girls..."
"You are my maid, what is the difference between you asking him and me asking him?"
Miss Lu became anxious, grabbed Lian'er's sleeve, and said angrily: "Don't ask!"
Miss Lu has a good temper and has never been angry with anyone. This anger shocked Lian'er. She quickly lowered her head and said, "Yes, I will get the things and send him away."
The little girl banged her way up the stairs after class again. After seeing Shen Yi, she took the box from Shen Yi's hand, then raised her head and said, "Mr. Shen, my lady has collected this, so please stop shouting here and spread the word."
I’ve also lost your face, Mr. Shen.”
Shen Yi scratched his head and asked, "That Junior Sister Lu..."
Does he want to ask if he can't come out to meet him?
Lian'er shook her head: "It's too late today, my lady said we'll have another day."
After that, the little girl hugged the wooden box and closed the door.
Shen Yi didn't know where he had offended Junior Sister Lu. After standing at the door for a while, seeing that it was getting late, he went home to rest.
After all, he has been running around for two or three days and is a little sleepy now. Moreover, if he doesn't go to see Zhang Jian today, Chen Yu must go to see him tomorrow, especially Zhang Jian. If he doesn't go to see him, this county lord
You should be angry with Shen Yi.
After Shen Yi left, Lian'er carried the wooden box up to the small building, placed the box in front of Miss Lu, and told Miss Lu that Shen Yi had gone home to get gifts.
Miss Lu didn't say anything more. After opening the box, she took out the exquisite round fan. She took the fan in her hand and looked at it carefully.
Lian'er on the side saw it was a fan and immediately became a little angry.
"It's already winter now, how can anyone give me a fan during this season?"
The little girl said angrily: "This Shen Qi really doesn't care at all!"
Miss Lu looked up at Lian'er and said softly: "It wasn't winter when he was in Jiankang. Maybe he bought it in summer?"
After saying this, she lowered her head and looked at the fan that cost Shen Yi a lot of money, and said softly: "This kind of double-sided embroidery cannot be done by ordinary people, but it is quite exquisite."
Lian'er blinked her eyes and was about to speak, but when she saw her young lady's appearance, she lowered her head and stopped talking.
Miss Lu took the round fan in her hand, fanned it twice more, and then put the fan back into the wooden box with satisfaction.
"Put it away. You won't need it in the winter, but you can still use it next summer. It won't break if you keep it for a few months."
Lian'er pouted and placed the wooden box on the shelf in the room.
"Yes, yes, everything you said is right."
…………
On the other side, when Shen Yi returned home from the academy, it was already dark.
As soon as he stepped into the house, his third brother Shen Ling came up to him. Shen Ling pulled Shen Yi's sleeve and whispered: "Why did Qi Lang come back?"
Shen Yi coughed: "Some things have been delayed. What's wrong, third brother?"
"The county master is here."
Shen Ling pulled Shen Yi home and said, "We'll be here at sunset. We've been waiting for you at our house for almost an hour!"
