Not to mention how disappointed Ji Shuyi was in her family, she admired the young man who saved her that day, but she felt inferior because of her appearance, and her body was getting thinner and thinner. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On this day, Ji Shuyi's eldest brother Ji Cunzhou came to visit his little sister, he was very disappointed in what his mother and eldest sister did, and he felt even more pity for this little sister who had not been treated by his family since childhood.
When Ji Cunzhou walked into his little sister's house, he saw that the original simple room was full of dazzling colors, such as the dressing table inlaid with tortoiseshell shells, which was delicate and gorgeous, and a screen embroidered with red peonies, and all kinds of brand-new objects were placed in the house one by one, making people look dazzled and luxurious. Ji Cunzhou frowned slightly, these things were supposed to be given to Shuyi by her mother because of what her eldest sister did.
Turning the screen, I saw my originally sunny and cheerful sister leaning on the carved wooden bed, the whole person looked sick, her brows were furrowed, and her face was gloomy.
When Ji Shuyi saw her brother come in, her face showed a hint of joy, and she hurriedly wanted to get up. was stopped by Ji Cunzhou.
"Shuyi, you lie down quickly and don't have to get up. Why are you so thin, my brother should have come to see you. You, hey, this matter was done wrong by your mother and eldest sister, and you were wronged. Ji Cunzhou touched his sister's hair, and when he saw her boring appearance, his heart became more and more uncomfortable. For so many years, Ji Cunzhou has never seen his little sister look like this, even when she was a child, because of her ugly appearance, others laughed at her and sarcastically mocked her, but she didn't show such a look. What he saw was always the sunny and optimistic, indifferent and quiet little girl.
Ji Shuyi felt the warm caress on her head, and the negative emotions that had been pent up for many days broke out, "Brother, brother, Shuyi is so scared." Mother, how can she be like this, I am also her daughter. I know my mother doesn't like me, but how can she be indifferent to seeing me being robbed? and my sister," Ji Shuyi threw herself into Ji Cunzhou's arms, her voice was full of bitterness, and the tears in her eyes couldn't stop flowing, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered over the years.
"Shuyi is not afraid, my brother is here. My brother will protect Shuyi. Ji Cunzhou listened to Ji Shuyi's crying, and felt sad for a while, and became more and more dissatisfied with his mother and eldest sister, and was also disappointed in his father's inaction.
Ji Cunzhou let his sister cry and vent, and then told his sister about the events of the day.
Ji Shuyi wiped her face embarrassedly, and after venting her bad feelings during this time, she asked awkwardly, "Brother, do you know who the benefactor who saved me and my second sister that day was? It was too chaotic at the time, and I couldn't thank my benefactor." ”
"The one who saved you and your second sister that day was the disciple of Huai'an Jushi, Shen Ziyue, who was the grandson of the head of the household department. This person is also a young talent, and now he is only fourteen years old, and he already has a reputation for showing talent. Ji Cunzhou saw that his sister's mood had stabilized, and his mood was a little lighter. Hearing her sister mention the person who saved her, she told her what she knew about Shen Ziyue.
"Also, don't worry, my father and I have already thanked him. You take good care of your body, and leave the rest to your brother. My brother will never tell you to do such a thing again. Ji Cunzhou comforted his sister, his eyes full of firmness.
"Well, I believe in my brother. Then, can my brother tell me more about Shen and Shen Enren. Ji Shuyi looked at her brother with trust, then thought about it, and couldn't help but ask shyly.
Ji Cunzhou looked at his sister's trusting gaze, and he was even more determined to protect his sister. At this time, when he saw what his sister asked, he replied casually, "Shen Ziyue, the concubine of the Shen family's house, his grandfather is Shen Qixun, the head of the household department, and his father seems to be the eldest son of Shen Shangshu, and now he is the head of the Ministry of Industry of Zhengliupin." That's all I know, no, you ask him、、、、、、。 Ji Cunzhou said as he spoke, sensing that something was wrong, and looking at his sister, Ji Shuyi's ears were dyed red.
"Shuyi, you won't be," Ji Cunzhou had a bad prediction in his heart, his sister wouldn't like him. Sure enough, my sister didn't say anything, just lowered her head, and with Ji Cunzhou's understanding of my little sister, not speaking at this time was a tacit acquiescence.
At this time, Ji Cunzhou thought of the young man he saw a few days ago, Ji Cunzhou silently compared in his heart, his sister is the daughter of the prefect of the fourth grade, and although Shen Ziyue has a grandfather of the household Shangshu, his father is only an official of the sixth grade, but the Shen Mansion has not yet been divided, and the family is also good.
From the perspective of ability, this person is already a talent at the age of fourteen, and with a teacher like Huai'an Jushi, the future should be good. I also heard that Shen Ziyue's achievements in calligraphy and painting are not inferior to some masters of calligraphy and painting.
But judging from his appearance, in fact, Ji Cunzhou really doesn't want his sister to like him, that young man is now indistinguishable from male and female at a young age, with beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his temperament is even more gentle and elegant, it is not difficult to see that he will be a beautiful man in the future, a humble gentleman is as gentle as jade, and I don't know how many women will fall in love with him at that time. But the cyan birthmark on his sister's face covers the entire left side of his face, which is really not good-looking. But there is no if. That young man doesn't love beauties, so the two really don't match.
Ji Cunzhou pondered in his heart for a moment, and he wanted to persuade his sister, but when he looked up at his sister, he couldn't say anything. Let's take a look for myself.
When Ji Cunzhou left Ji Shuyi's courtyard, he sent his servants to collect information about An Ran. But he went out of the mansion under the guise of thanking his benefactor, and went to the Yin Mansion to find safety.
