Chapter 17:-for-tat
"Minmin! Minmin, what are you doing so fast!" Zhang Hongxian took a car with Shen Minyu to Jing's house for a banquet, but as soon as he got out of the car, Shen Minyu seemed to want to get rid of him, and he walked faster and faster, and never looked back, "cousin"
"It's really ghostly!" Shen Minyu frowned in disgust when she heard the sound of flickering distance and approach, and her steps under her feet became faster, "It's really annoying!"
"Cousin!" Zhang Hongxian trotted all the way to Shen Minyu's side, followed suit, wiped a handful of sweat, and said with a smile: "I can be regarded as catching up with you! What are you doing so fast? Do you still want to get rid of me?"
Shen Minyu stopped suddenly, pulled the broken hair in his ears, and looked sarcastic, "I don't dare! I know what ** soup you poured into your father, if I dump you, you will go to my father to beat me, and you will have another messy lesson such as 'learn more from your cousin'!"
After that, she glanced at Zhang Hongxian.
Zhang Hongxian only felt very handsome when he looked at her like this, and immediately stretched out his fingers to provoke her chin, Shen Minyu's eyes were fine, and he glanced at Zhang Hongxian at the moment, and slapped his hand away.
She whispered, "Ambitious leopard guts!" In a blink of an eye, she raised her chin and raised her eyebrows, "But this also seems to be your style unexpected, attacking it unprepared, insidious and hypocritical!"
After that, he glanced at the long figure in front of him from head to toe, "Hmph!", turned around and entered the main hall in a hurry.
Zhang Hongxian just loves Shen Minyu's chili pepper-like character, he only feels more happy when he looks at Shen Minyu's back, and between his eyebrows and eyes, there is a smile.
Then he straightened his clothes, glanced at his pocket watch, and followed the others into the main hall.
――――――――――
"Zhang Fujin has a pair of jade Ruyi, fifty pieces of gold!"
"Zhou's Mansion"
Today is the thirty-sixth birthday of Shi Yunlan, the eldest wife of Jingfu, it is said that several birthdays in this life are quite particular, and this thirty-six years old is one of the most important years, so it is necessary to consider longevity.
As soon as I entered the main hall, the female relatives of the various prefectures to celebrate their birthdays surrounded a full house, with a beautiful posture and a graceful appearance, which was like a beauty contest.
"Eh! It is said that although today is the birthday of the eldest wife, I actually want to find the right family for Young Master Jing!"
"Huh, will Young Master Jing take a fancy to me!?"
"Do you think my dress is too plain?"
"That"
Shen Minyu was angry when she heard the so-called rouge vulgar fans in her eyes, and immediately swept her eyes, and said proudly in her heart: "It's really wishful thinking, only I can match such a young and heroic appearance as Brother Jing!"
Seeing that it was about to be her birthday, she quickly put on a sweet and well-behaved smile and suppressed the anger in her eyes.
"Auntie, Min Yu is here to congratulate you on your birthday! I wish you a long and long life, good health, walking like the wind, deaf ears and eyes, no worries, smiling at people and business calmly!"
"Look at this little mouth, it's sweet! It's still a hundred years old! It's a monster at a hundred years old!" Shi Yunlan smiled from ear to ear, her well-maintained skin couldn't see a single fold, she looked very happy, and the corners of her eyes were dizzy, "Come! Come to my aunt's side and let me take a good look!"
"Shen Fu! a pair of southern red jade bracelets, a pure gold collar, a pair of tourmaline earrings, four Hangjin horses, two catties of Ejiao, a pair of blood Ganoderma lucidum, and a cook!"
As she was reporting the ceremony, Shen Minyu walked to the side of the eldest lady with ladylike steps.
But the hall seemed to have exploded.
"Eh, that's a good gift, but there's still a giveaway?"
"yes! The first time I heard it, it's really fresh!"
Shi Yunlan was also a little surprised, and looked at the cook in front of her with an inquiring expression.
Shen Minyu rubbed the back of her hand and explained: "Auntie, some time ago, I heard Brother Jing mention that it was the change of seasons recently, and your appetite was very bad, which made me very worried!
Smile as she spoke.
The eldest lady's eyes lit up, and the gastrointestinal discomfort for days gave her a headache, but there was nothing she could do, in addition to the loss of appetite in the past few days, she also lost a lot of weight.
"You really have a heart!" said the eldest lady very heartily.
She patted the back of Shen Minyu's hand and whispered, "Shi Lang is warming his book in the study room in the inner courtyard, and I see that this time is almost over."
Shen Minyu understood at the moment, and glanced at the eldest lady very shyly.
"Let's go!" said the eldest lady with a smile.
Inner Courtyard.
Shen Minyu passed through the small garden from the barrier of the main hall, walked fifty meters on the long and quiet road, passed the beautifully carved hanging flower gate with the plaque of "descendants and generations", and then turned two corners along the original stone gate, and arrived at the place where Jing Shilang often reads books.
She turned against the light, looked at the familiar scenery in the courtyard and couldn't help laughing, she secretly thought: "Shi Lang has loved reading since he was a child, and Wen Taowu has everything at his fingertips, and it is by no means comparable to those nerds in public schools." ”
She thought silently, a smile appeared on her lips, as if they were still playing in this courtyard as a child, Shi Lang had some cleanliness since childhood, so there was no pond in this yard, so as not to give birth to the smell of rot in the winter flowers; the ground was paved with simple and dense bluestone slabs, and the bricks and tiles on the house were as rigorous and neat as a beautiful little kai, she remembered that in the middle of the courtyard was a porcelain round table, under which pebbles were paved with circular feet with a radius of five meters, and the evergreen tree in front of her was still the one she chose with him that year
There was a gleam of joy in her eyes, and behind the ancient tree was a rose. She remembered that in the midsummer of 'the crystal curtain moved and the breeze roses, and the roses were full of incense', she loved swinging very much, and that night he invited the master to make a swing together, and he was busy for a few days without playing with her.
Thinking of Shen Minyu, she walked to the rose bushes, at this time it was close to early autumn, the flowers were defeated, wilted, and the petals were sparse, she seemed to see two figures on the swing, and when she walked in, there seemed to be a graceful woman sitting on the swing, she stepped forward, a trace of surprise flashed in Yingying's eyes, and then the surprise turned into anger, and the man in front of the swing was Jing Shilang.
Her purple-pink dress blended in with the color of the roses, and Shen Minyu hid behind the flower stand, and the clusters of lush flowers sticking out of the flower beds covered her tightly.
All she heard was the staccato whisper of Shannon.
"Young Master Jing, I always feel that your side of the academy really doesn't match your appearance. Yu Weiwan frowned and smiled, "The first person who saw you must have thought that you were a strict and cold person, but today I walked into your academy to know that your heart was like this" She stopped the swing and raised her eyes to stare at him, her lips lightly opened, "Shore Zhi Tinglan, lush and green." ”
A ray of surprise crossed Jing Shilang's heart, and he was immediately relieved.
He smiled lightly and continued: "And the long smoke is empty, the moon is thousands of miles, and the light is floating."
Yu Weiwei looked happy, and said in unison with him: "Floating light and gold, still shadows and sinking beauty, fishing songs answer each other, what a joy is this!"
The green leaves in Shen Minyu's hands had already been crushed into mud and turned into juice in her hands, and she was so angry that this scene of Qin Se and Ming was close at hand.
Anger welled up in her heart, and she scattered the branches and leaves in her hands, ready to step forward with full of anger.
"Young Master, your handwriting is dry!" Wei Yuanshan ran out and shouted.
"I'll go to the study first and come out in a moment. Hearing this, Jing Shilang turned his head and said to Yu Weiwei.
After seeing Jing Shilang enter the study, Shen Minyu slowly walked towards Yu Weiwei, who was sitting on the swing and swaying carelessly.
Yu Weiwei was staring at her toes in a daze, and a joking voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"I said, who is this?"
When Yu Weiwei saw the person clearly, the smile on the corner of her lips suddenly disappeared, but she couldn't see anything else.
Shen Minyu raised his eyebrows, noncommittal, "It's so good to grind your ears and temples, I didn't see that you are so outstanding, not only are you good at reading, but this fox kung fu is only afraid that you will be called second, and no one dares to call it first!" As soon as the words fell, Shen Minyu seemed to think of something, and his eyes flowed, "No, no, I said it wrong, your fox kung fu was not learned overnight, I am afraid that it is brought out of the mother's womb to harm all sentient beings like this, and I don't know which fox spirit has been reincarnated for thousands of years!"
Shen Minyu said with a contemptuous expression, but sat at the stone table as if chattering, looking up at the sky.
Yu Weiwei's expression was a little annoyed, she settled down, the look between her eyebrows, and said slowly: "Miss Shen's golden branches and jade leaves, whether it is beauty, talent or family background, are beyond the reach of the dust, but she is like a willow, I don't know what happened to collide with Miss Shen, but please make it clear." ”
He bowed his head as if he was worried.
"Hmph! You were so arrogant a few days ago, why do you want to play a weak role with me today?" Shen Minyu squinted and looked Yu Wei up and down, seeing that her body was trembling slightly, but she completely disdained this trick and snorted coldly.
"Since you know each other like this, you should stay away from Brother Jing. Shen Minyu's face was softened, but the corners of his eyebrows were implied.
At this time, Yu Weiwei had already gotten off the swing and walked slowly towards Shen Minyu.
"Miss Shen, I have a concubine with Young Master Jing, what do you have to do with me?" Yu Weiwei looked at Shen Minyu quietly, her eyes were full of tears, at first glance Chu Chu was pitiful, but her voice was extremely cold, and then she laughed, but tears went all the way down the corners of her eyes, "What? Do you want to hit me?"
"Do you think I don't dare?" Shen Minyu was annoyed and angry, she stood up and put down a lot of strength, and swung towards Yu Weiwei hard.
Yu Weiwei didn't move at all, still full of tears, but there was a strange look in the depths of her eyes, Shen Minyu secretly screamed badly, and was about to stop waving her hand, Yu Weiwei had already seen through her thoughts, and she didn't know where Niu Li came from, grabbed Shen Minyu's wrist and waved it in her face, only to hear a snap, Yu Wanyu fell to the ground.
At this time, Jing Shilang, who had just stepped out of the threshold, just raised his head, and he happened to see the woman with his back to him slapping Yu Weiwei, she fell helplessly to the ground like a Su Butterfly with folded wings, her eyes were full of tears of grievance, and his heart was slightly sour.
Shen Minyu looked at this qiē coldly, listened to the footsteps that were gradually approaching behind him, and said in a voice that only Yu Weiwei could hear: "Do you think you have won?"
"What's going on?" Jing Shilang walked over, "Minyu?
"It's not me!"
"Young Master Jing, don't blame her, it's all me, if you say something that Miss Shen doesn't like, blame me" He cried into tears as he spoke.
Jing Shilang stared at Shen Minyu very annoyed: "I thought you were just confused! I have been reflecting on it in the house for the past few days! I didn't expect it to be so unreasonable!" After that, he didn't look at Shen Minyu anymore, and helped Yu Weiwei to coax softly.
"Hmph!" Shen Minyu was very angry, she left without looking back, and was indignant in her heart: "Yu Wei, you lowly dancer! Why are you fighting with me? You wait for me!"
Shen Minyu's anger surged into her heart, seeing that nothing was going well, she pulled flowers all the way, stepped on the grass, grabbed what to throw and thrown.
At this time, a group of servants came, seeing that it was her, they were busy flattering and greeting, but Shen Minyu was not in the mood to provoke this idle person, and shouted angrily at the moment: "Get out!
The servants were so frightened at the moment that they were silent, all of them looked dumbfounded, I don't know if they had poured bad luck for several lifetimes, stepped on the tail of the tiger, and a group of people were silent what to do.
Zhang Hongxian, who was coming from the main hall, listened to the discussion of the servants, and his heart was obvious, and he smiled on his lips and came to the garden.
"Cousin?" Zhang Hongxian smiled, with an inquiring expression, "Who made our eldest lady angry again?"
His eyes flowed, and he said with a smile: "It is said that although today is the birthday of the eldest wife of the Jing family, the essence is to find a family affair for Jing Shilang" After that, he looked at Shen Minyu with a smile, and saw that she was just looking away and not speaking, he added a handful of firewood, "It's just that this Jing Shilang Golden House hides others and doesn't care, but it's a dancing girl in Paramount, I'm afraid that if the daughters of the famous families outside know, I'm afraid that I don't know how many I will faint, and my nose will be green."
He bent down and stared at Shen Minyu's face carefully, "Eh, I said cousin, why is your nose green?"
"Don't mention that slut to me!!!" Shen Minyu closed her eyes tightly, frowned and screamed, "Ah!! go away! Go away! I want you to kill that slut! But she is still dangling in front of my eyes!!!!I want to kill her!!" She wanted to push Zhang Hongxian away, but he was tall, and the push and shoving turned into a muffled beating again and again.
"Okay! Don't be sad! Minmin" Zhang Hongxian easily grabbed Shen Minyu's swinging fist, and gently hugged her into his arms, as Shen Minyu struggled, his arms gradually tightened, a trace of coldness crossed his eyes, and he said distressedly: "Minmin, and me"
The struggle in his arms gradually turned into bursts of sobs.
He sighed slightly, rubbing his twitching head in his arms, "And me, I'll be by your side"
