At this time, Shen Qinglan was talking with Shen in the Rongde Hall. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen gently beckoned Shen Qinglan to sit beside him, took Shen Qinglan's hand affectionately, and asked carefully, "Lan'er, where do you and your father live on weekdays? Who are the people around you? Isn't food, clothing, housing and transportation very hard?"
The love and concern were undoubtedly revealed in the corners of his eyes.
Shen Qinglan has been growing up since she was a child, only her father has been by her side, and she has never been accompanied by female elders. was almost flattered by Shen's gentle and pitiful inquiry, and answered them one by one obediently.
"My dad and I live in a small, secluded yard. There is a little maid next to my father, and there is a maid next to me, named Lu'er. ”
"Food, clothing, housing and transportation are indeed simpler, but they are not hard. ”
Shen looked at the muslin dress Shen Qinglan was wearing, and felt distressed: "Why don't you not be bitter." Look at what you're wearing, you don't even have a decent dress. ”
In the Dingbei Hou Mansion, even the clothes worn by the maid are better than Shen Qinglan.
Shen Qinglan lowered her head with some shame: "Let my aunt smile." ”
It was already the best dress she had ever worn.
When Shen saw Shen Qinglan's pitiful appearance of shame, his heart was full of sourness.
Even if Shen Qinglan didn't say it, she could guess the embarrassment of the life of the father and daughter.
Shen Qian was talented and talented, but his right leg was broken by her father because of his personal relationship with her, and his life was ruined. He led the children to live in a secluded courtyard, where did all the expenses come from?
"Lan'er, I didn't know your figure before, so it's inconvenient to prepare a dress for you. ”
Shen Shi pressed the sourness in his heart and said with a smile: "Now that you are here, I will send someone to call the shopkeeper of the embroidery village to come over and make a few new clothes for you." I'll buy you some headpiece jewelry. ”
"You are the same age as flowers, and you are born with good looks, you should dress up well. ”
Shen Qinglan was both grateful and a little uneasy, and said timidly: "Auntie, don't be so wasteful, I've already caused a lot of trouble to my aunt......
"It's a nuisance. ”
Shen smiled and reassured: "You can live in peace and treat this place as your home." All year round, our Hou Mansion has to buy five new clothes and two sets of jewelry for each of the masters, and if you want to go out of the mansion for a banquet or an important occasion, you will also add another one. ”
"Before you came, there were two cousins in the house, and they were all compared to the ladies in the house. You're certainly no exception. ”
After Shen said this, Shen Qinglan felt a little relieved, got up and thanked her: "Then Lan'er will have the cheekiness to accept her aunt's kindness." ”
"Good boy!" Shen gently patted the back of Shen Qinglan's hand, his eyes were gentle and loving: "In the future, in front of my aunt, you don't have to be restrained, let alone say these polite words." ”
Shen Qinglan nodded, her eyes a little moist: "Auntie, you are so good to me." ”
It turns out that what Dad said is true.
My aunt's temperament is really gentle and amiable, and she treats her very well.
Shen smiled: "Silly girl, I am your aunt, and I should be good to you." After a pause, he said: "That girl in Guanning has been spoiled since she was a child, she is a little arrogant and arrogant, and she speaks a little mean. It's not aimed at you, you don't take it personally. ”
Shen Qinglan remembered Shen Qian's advice, and immediately responded when she heard the words: "Auntie is serious. Cousin Wanning is just a little more straightforward, where can she be regarded as willful and arrogant. Yesterday was the first time we met, and my cousin and I were not familiar with each other, so I was not very enthusiastic. In the future, I will definitely get along with my cousin Wanning. ”
Shen smiled with relief: "You are really an understanding and sensible child. Fifth brother taught you so well!"
A sneer suddenly sounded.
Then, a familiar voice came into the ears of Shen Shi and Shen Qinglan:
"Listening to my mother's meaning, Cousin Qinglan is empathetic and sensible, and my daughter is obviously the one who is unreasonable and unreasonable. ”
……
Gu Wanning didn't know when he stood at the door, and the corners of his mouth raised a sneering arc.
Shen frowned, and said angrily, "When did you come? Why don't you have a maid to pass on the report?"
Gu Wanning tugged at the corners of her lips and smiled: "My daughter, when she enters her mother's house, do you still need a maid to pass it on?"
…… Shen was speechless when he was questioned.
The originally relaxed and harmonious atmosphere instantly cooled down.
Gu Wanning ignored Shen's stiff expression and walked in. It's like a leisurely walk. In every gesture, it shows elegance and compelling luxury, exuding a striking brilliance.
It makes people ashamed of themselves and ashamed of themselves.
Shen Qinglan looked at the scorching girl in a daze, and a vague thought passed through her heart.
If...... She is her aunt's daughter, like Gu Wanning, she was born noble, dressed and fed, and grew up in the pampering of everyone, and she will never be inferior to the girl in front of her!
Gu Wanning's eyes swept and looked over.
The eyes were sharp, and it seemed to have insight into the darkness that flashed in her heart,
Shen Qinglan was a little uncomfortable, and was busy hiding her weakness with a warm smile: "Cousin Guanning, my aunt and I were talking about you just now!"
"Yes, I am talking about how gentle and sensible you are, and how arrogant and willful I am to speak meanly. ”
Gu Wanning took over the conversation with a faint expression: "I didn't know until today that my mother was so dissatisfied with me. With Cousin Qinglan here, my mother will be accompanied by someone in the future, and I am afraid that she will be even more unhappy to see me. ”
Shen Qinglan: "......"
Shen Qinglan blushed, stood up, and explained curtly: "Cousin Guanning misunderstood. I had no intention of snatching my aunt. I came all the way from Xijing, and my aunt was willing to take me in, and I was very grateful in my heart. Categorically, there will be no thoughts that should not be born. ”
As he spoke, he raised his head, and his eyes showed a little timidity and soft pleading: "Cousin Guanning, if I dislike you in something, I will accompany you now." I hope you don't take it to heart. ”
Under those pitiful eyes, even if it is an iron heart, it will turn into a finger twist.
Back then, Xiao Rui, the son of King Qi, was fascinated by such Shen Qinglan, and completely forgot the affection for her childhood sweetheart for many years......
After many years, her infatuation with Xiao Rui has long since disappeared, and her disgust and hatred for Shen Qinglan have not decreased by half a point.
Gu Wanning looked at Shen Qinglan coldly, and did not hide the disgust in his eyes at all: "Don't worry, I have never taken you to heart." In the future, you just don't have to show up in front of me. ”
Shen Qinglan's face turned red and white, and her eyes flashed with water.
Shen Shi looked distressed, and glared at Gu Wanning angrily: "Guanning, you are too much! You apologize to Lan'er right now!"
One is Wanning, and the other is the intimate Lan'er.
Just listening to the title, you know how much the Shen family cherishes this "niece" who came from afar.
Gu Wanning raised his eyebrows: "What I said is the truth, why apologize?"
"You!" Shen's face turned white.
She is cold and self-contained by nature, full of poetry and writing talents, and never refuses to speak ill of her. Even if you are angry, you can't say anything unpleasant.
Shen Qinglan's eyes were red, and tears overflowed her eyes.
What exactly did she do wrong?
Why did Gu Wanning bully her so aggressively?
"There is no why. Gu Guanning said lightly: "I just hate you." ”
How did Gu Wanning know what was going on in her heart?
Shen Qinglan looked up in horror. Teardrops are still rolling in the eyes, like a white lotus that has been ruthlessly blown by the wind and rain, weak and pitiful.
It's a pity that Gu Wanning didn't feel sorry for the fragrance and jade, and threw down the sentence "I'll go to say hello to my grandmother", and turned to leave.
Of course, she can be hypocritical.
With her city government acting skills, it is not difficult to pretend to be affectionate and harmonious with Shen Qinglan. In this way, it can not only stabilize the Shen family, but also confuse Shen Qinglan.
However, she didn't have the slightest intention of wronging herself.
Whether it is in the past life or in this life, she is the proud Gu Guanning.
When you like someone, you do it wholeheartedly and without reservation.
When you hate someone, you should be thorough and never be wronged.
