Naturally Precious

Shen Ruiqing has been fond of cats and dogs since she was a child, which is not a disgraceful hobby after all, so Shen Xuan let him go, and casually gave instructions to the maid.The two young masters said so, and the servants of the Shen family didn't dare to neglect, not only fed those cats and dogs until their fur was shiny and cool, but also carried them to wash them from time to time.

Wangcai is a big and strong raccoon in the yard of Shen's family.

Although it is only a cat, the two fluffy balls are very big, and they are decorated under the tail like pompon decorations on the daughter's hair. Not to mention the Shen family's yard, the cat next door gave birth to oranges. All the colored raccoons must be its cubs.A pair of emerald green eyes swept around in a majestic manner, and when it saw the master of the Shen family, it ignored it, jumped on tiptoe in front of Bao'er, and gave him a rough "meow".

It turned out to be a drake voice.

Shen Ruiqing wanted to laugh when she heard it screaming like that, and hugged it affectionately.The fluffy and warm cat was very comfortable in the pocket, and he couldn't help rubbing his face against it. The cat probably knew he was showing his favor, so it stuck out its tongue and began to comb his hair.

A cat's tongue is different from a human's tongue. The center is covered with light white barbs. Although it is not painful to lick the delicate skin, it is definitely not comfortable.Shen Ruiqing was grabbed and licked by it, wanted to hide but was reluctant to hide, so she could only call Wangcai's name indiscriminately, and kept patting the big cat's strong back.

"Okay... I combed my hair this morning... I really don't need you to help me anymore..." The cat's belly was warmly stuck to his nose, and he took a few breaths, probably with the cat hair inhaled , Nose is itchy.Shen Ruiqing wanted to let go of Wangcai, but Wangcai was still helping him lick his hair seriously, and couldn't help but sneezed for a while.

The cat was so frightened that it flew out, and fell solidly on the couch, with its tail blown up.

Shen Xuan was originally in a serious mood, but seeing this scene, she couldn't help but smile a little.Bao'er couldn't come back to her senses in a daze, and then laughed out loud.

"Wangcai...you really are! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, so don't be angry. I'll ask the servant girl to cook meat for you. Calm down..." He apologized very seriously, but sincerely I thought it was funny, tears were about to overflow.The cat still didn't understand the situation, so it took a few steps with its hair frizzing, sniffed his finger carefully, and then ran away quickly with its tail hanging.

Shen Xuan forcibly suppressed a smile, and gently stroked Shen Ruiqing's hair, "Bao'er has already scared the cat away with a single sneeze...Stupid Bao'er, let it find a place to hide. Big brother can't do anything today. How about taking you to the shop right away?"

After another stupid word was said, Shen Ruiqing's face wrinkled, and she glanced at the other party with a little grievance.But after all, it was my elder brother who said this, and he couldn't be really angry. His attention was soon diverted, and he blinked expectantly.

"Go to the shop? Are you going to look at the new goods brought back by brother?"

"Those things are still in the room for the time being, and I haven't had time to move them to the shop yet. But this time I didn't bring anything back, just some silk and brocade handkerchiefs, and I picked some rouge and gouache from my daughter's home. If Bao'er wants Brother, I’ll just take you to the room to pick them out.” It’s a long way from Suzhou and Hangzhou to Bianmo, and in order to come back earlier to accompany Bao’er, it’s naturally impossible for him to bring those big things, so he only picked these small ones. Things, dozens of boxes can be packed in one box.But these are things for women after all, although Bao'er didn't look down on women, but when she heard Shen Xuan say that, she still twisted her nose.

"What do you want Ruiqing to do... Ruiqing is a boy, he doesn't wear rouge and powder. Brother, I don't want to go to the room to see, let's go to the shop. By the way, let's have lunch outside , I want to eat the golden cakes sold on the street." I was already full in the morning, but when I thought of the soft and sweet pastries, Bao'er was still greedy, and looked up at Shen Xuan longingly.Shen Xuan rubbed his head vigorously, already agreed in her heart, but still couldn't help teasing him.

"But the kitchen is already preparing lunch at this time. If Bao'er wants to go out to eat with the elder brother, then people will be working in vain. I said earlier that I would use the chicken soup for lunch, and Bao'er broke his promise just like that ?"

Shen Ruiqing opened her lips blankly.

"Besides, I'm afraid Bao'er wants to eat more than just the golden cake?" Shen Xuan narrowed her eyes slightly, and Shen Xuan glanced at him with a half-smile, and casually mentioned a few names——

"Roasted chicken with bamboo shoots and braised beef from Yuxianglou, Tianji's lotus root powder, sweet-scented osmanthus cake and candied haws...don't Bao'er want to eat it?"

Every time he said one word, Shen Ruiqing's lips opened a little wider, and his stomach could not wait to growl twice.But thinking of the servant who was already busy, Bao'er couldn't help feeling guilty, and looked at him helplessly.

"But...but the kitchen is on fire—forget it, let's forget it, Ruiqing doesn't eat golden cakes, roasted chicken with bamboo shoots, stewed beef, and sweet-scented osmanthus cake with lotus root starch. It’s used in the house, and it’s delicious anyway.”

He had a simple mind, so he really aggrieved and gave up the idea of ​​going out to eat, but Shen Xuan couldn't bear to tease him.Stretching out his long arms, he gently pulled Bao'er into his arms, stroked the cat's messy hair with his fingers, and said with a smile, "Why can't I eat it? There are so many people in the house, brother Go out with Bao'er, and they will eat all the food...Silly Bao'er, go and put on your coat, brother will take you to the street right away."

The eyes that had been lowered suddenly lifted up, shining like stars.He couldn't help cheering, hugged Shen Xuan hard, leaned forward and kissed the man on the cheek, then jumped away, happily went to the cabinet to get the clothes.

Shen Xuan was taken aback by his kiss, and stood there for a long time without recovering.

The groom was always waiting in the mansion, and when he heard that the young master was going out, he immediately prepared the carriage.Shen Ruiqing also wanted to ride a horse to the street like Shen Xuan did before, but when she thought of the possibility of being knocked off the horse, she was too timid to mention it.After all, there were not many places in the city, so it took a short walk to reach the Shen family's shop.Shen Ruiqing seldom came to see it, and got out of the car with some novelty, her eyes kept rolling.

"Brother, does this row belong to our family?"

"From the rice shop to the rouge shop, they all belong to our family. Come on, take the brother's hand, and the brother will take you inside to have a look." He often comes here on weekdays, so he is very familiar with it, so he left with Bao'er went in.Seeing the young master, the shopkeeper hurriedly wanted to salute, but Shen Xuan didn't respond as usual, but waved him to get up.

"Ruiqing, this is shopkeeper Dong who helps our family manage the rice shop." With a polite and polite smile on his lips, he glanced down at Bao'er, and then at the respectful servant in front of him, " Call Uncle quickly."

"Hello, Uncle!" He shouted obediently, with a pleasing smile on his face, anyone who saw it would like it.The shopkeeper hurriedly bent down, and answered the phrase "Uncle" in fear.

"I can't afford it, I can't afford it... The second young master was able to come to the store with the eldest young master today, but he couldn't prepare in time—"

"It's okay, just bring Ruiqing to have a look, what you should do is what you should do." Shen Xuan was tired of hearing these polite words, but because she was still holding Bao'er, her expression was still warm.Shen Ruiqing blinked her eyes twice, scanned the shop again, and suddenly found a small door at the back, and said "Huh" curiously.

"Brother, what's behind it? Is it still our shop?"

Shen Xuan followed his line of sight and raised the corners of her lips slightly.

"That's the yard at the back, leading to the counting room and the room... The shops of our Shen family are all connected in this way. Come on, there's nothing interesting here, brother will take you to the usual busy places to have a look."

In fact, Shen Ruiqing didn't feel very interested here, but when she heard that it was the place where her eldest brother worked, she suddenly became interested again, and nodded vigorously in response.The two brothers led them to the backyard like this. The shopkeeper took a peek and saw that the person was walking away, but stood there frowning for a long time.

It's just that the Second Young Master picked it up, and brought it into the shop to look at those ledgers...

Is it really that pampered?
