Chapter 59 Medical Books

Seeing that Master Shu didn’t move, Shu Liu stepped forward and said: “Father, you’re not feeling well, let me feed you.”

Master Shu shook his head and took the bowl and spoon from Shen Nian: “No need, I’ll drink it myself.”

He took a sip of the chicken soup, it was very delicious. He smiled kindly at Shen Nian and said: “It’s very delicious.”

Shen Nian smiled happily.

Seeing that Master Shu had finished drinking, she personally scooped a bowl for her.

If it were any other day, Master Shu wouldn’t be able to eat this much, but today he was in a good mood and had a good appetite, so he drank a little more.

Shu Liu, who was standing beside him, had tears in his eyes.

He hadn’t seen his father so happy in a long time.

After leaving Master Shu’s room, Shu Liu said to Shen Nian: “Nian Nian, we are not from here, we will be going home in a few days. My father likes you very much, and I like you very much too. Before we leave, can you come to our house often to visit?”

Thinking that this was too sudden, afraid of scaring Shen Nian, Shu Liu said again: “If it’s inconvenient for you…”

Shen Nian smiled and interrupted him: “There’s nothing inconvenient for me, I can come often, but I have to tell my father and mother, I need to get their permission.”

Shu Liu smiled: “Of course, I was just asking for your opinion first, if you agree, I’ll go and tell your father and mother. Nian Nian, you are so kind, I really like you so much, I’m so happy to be friends with you!”

As she spoke, she took off the jade pendant from her waist and stuffed it into Shen Nian’s hand: “This is a gift for you, if you have the chance to come to the capital in the future, you can bring this jade to the Hou Mansion to find me.”

Shu Liu didn’t explain to Shen Nian what the Hou Mansion was, she just told her to keep the jade pendant well: “Don’t lose it, otherwise you won’t be able to be friends with Brother Liu!”

Shen Nian said solemnly: “I won’t lose it.”

Chunxi, who was standing beside her, was shocked to see that Shu Liu had actually given her jade pendant, which she wore close to her body, to Shen Nian, a three-year-old peasant girl.

Although she also liked this little peasant girl, the princess had not spent much time with her, and she was too kind to her!

She was so impulsive to let her jade pendant fall into the hands of ordinary people.

Chunxi still didn’t say anything, she was just a servant, she couldn’t interfere with her master’s affairs.

When they arrived at the main hall, Shu Liu talked to Wei Shi and Shen Dong for a while, and finally Shen Dong and the two agreed to Shu Liu’s request, but every time Shen Nian came over, Wei Shi had to accompany her, and she couldn’t stay overnight.

Shu Liu agreed.

Shu Liu personally sent Shen Nian and her family of three out of the mansion, he even hugged Shen Nian, when he put her down, he kissed her on the face.

Shen Dong’s eyes widened, he desperately suppressed his temper and didn’t kick Shu Liu away.

His precious daughter was molested! Aaaah!! So annoying!!

After leaving Shu’s residence, Shen Nian’s family went to the Wan Mansion.

The Wan Mansion wouldn’t let poor people like them in, so Shen Nian took out the pass that Wan Baocai had personally written.

The note was written with some crooked characters: Dog slave, Shen Nian is my friend, if she comes, don’t stop her, tell me immediately!

It also had his relative’s signature and his self-made red seal.

The guards at the gate recognized it at a glance, they quickly welcomed Shen Nian and the three into the mansion, informed the steward, and sent someone to inform Wan Baocai.

Master Wan was not at home, Wan Baocai was flipping through books in his elder brother’s study, preparing to take them to Lanhua Village tomorrow to lend them to Shen Bei, so that Shen Bei could learn the contents of the books and then teach him.

When he heard that Shen Nian had arrived, Wan Baocai was overjoyed, in his excitement, he knocked over the bookcase, and the study was instantly in a mess.

Wan Baocai’s heart skipped a beat. He had destroyed his elder brother’s study. When his elder brother came back, he would have to endure his nagging for days. Not only that, he would also be forbidden to go out and be forced to copy the Thousand Character Classic.

Wan Baocai quickly called a few guards to tidy up the study, then hurried to the front hall.

No punishment mattered. Seeing Nian Nian, his little sweetheart, was the most important thing.

The steward of the Wan Mansion was surnamed Zhu, the father of Zhu Dafu, who had been scolded by Wan Baocai after being instigated by Shen Nian.

After that incident, Zhu Dafu was almost sold. It was Zhu Steward who pleaded for him. Master Wan saw that Zhu Steward was old and had only one son, who had worked diligently for the Wan Mansion for many years. He had no merit but he had worked hard. So he didn’t sell Zhu Dafu, but arranged for him to do the menial work of cleaning toilets.

Zhu Steward didn’t say anything, but he held a grudge against this matter, and he even hated Shen Nian.

Seeing Shen Nian and her family of three arrive, Zhu Steward didn’t kick them out because of Wan Baocai, but he didn’t greet them either. He didn’t even have a servant pour them a cup of tea.

Shen Nian and the three didn’t care.

They were here to deliver strawberries to Wan Baocai, not to be served.

Zhu Steward stood at the door, the more he looked at Shen Nian’s family, the more he disliked them. Thinking of his unfortunate son, he had an idea.

Before he could act, he looked up and saw Wan Baocai running towards them.

He had to suppress his resentment and put on a smile to greet Wan Baocai.

“Young Master, you have guests?”

Wan Baocai didn’t even look at him: “Is that a stupid question? If I didn’t have guests, why would I be running here in a hurry?”

He stepped into the front hall, greeted Shen Dong and Wei Shi, then hugged Shen Nian: “I missed you so much!”

Zhu Steward frowned. The young master was so close to a little peasant girl, he must be bewitched!

Thinking of something, he suddenly smiled strangely.

Shen Dong pulled Wan Baocai away and said seriously: “I’ve told you how many times, men and women are different, don’t hug my daughter every time you see her.”

Wan Baocai retorted: “Nian Nian is only three years old, what’s wrong with hugging her?”

Shen Dong said: “But you will be seven years old after the new year!”

Wan Baocai pouted, he didn’t argue with him, he asked Shen Nian: “Nian Nian, why did you come?”

Shen Nian lifted the white cloth covering the bamboo basket on the table: “We came to deliver strawberries to you, the strawberries I planted are ready to eat.”

Last time, there were few ripe strawberries, so she didn’t send any. This time, she wanted Wan Baocai to taste them properly.

Seeing the fresh and delicious strawberries, Wan Baocai, ignoring the steward’s obstruction, stuffed one into his mouth.

His little eyes lit up instantly!

“So sweet!”

Wan Baocai couldn’t get enough of the strawberries, he ate one after another. If Shen Nian hadn’t stopped him and told him to save some for his father, he would have eaten them all in one go.

Wan Baocai was in a great mood, he wanted to take Shen Nian to visit his home, but Shen Nian refused.

“We appreciate your kindness, but my older brother and second brother are still selling pancakes, we have to go help them, we can’t stay long. Next time! Next time we have time, I’ll come and play with you.”

Seeing that Shen Nian and her family of three were about to leave, Wan Baocai was reluctant, he also wanted to go and sell pancakes, but Shen Nian stopped him.

He was joking, how many people in the county didn’t know Wan Baocai, the little devil? Who would dare to buy the pancakes he sold? Besides, if the customers knew that their family was related to Wan Baocai, they wouldn’t come again in the future.

On the way to the pancake stall, they passed by a locust tree. Seeing that there was no one around, Shen Nian, taking advantage of her parents’ inattention, moved her sleeve, and a book fell under the locust tree.

She pretended to discover the book, told her parents and ran over, just as she picked up the book, someone suddenly fell from the tree, hitting her head.
