Chapter 72: Shen Family Sisters
In front of Jing Yan was a cup of rose dew. Her hand gently held the edge www.biquge.info of the cup, her lowered eyes were clear, as if she hadn't heard anything, she lowered her head and sipped the sweetness in her mouth, indulging in it.
At this time, a ray of sunlight fell on her body through the curtain, and her beautiful and vulgar face instantly blended into the surrounding scenery, adding a sense of sacredness to this dustless face, and the light mole on the bridge of her nose seemed to condense all the beauty and provoked everyone's heartstrings.
At this moment, she just sat quietly, looking down at the cup in her hand, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the women who were chattering about her not far away became even more bold. Ma Xiangyun, who was supposed to be sitting next to Jing Yan, was sitting next to Shen Yuzhen, the daughter of Hubu Shangshu, at the moment, and the two seemed to have endless words.
She is wearing a peach silk sprinkled flower and smoke shirt today, and a full eight golden hairpins are inserted in her graceful Ling Xuan bun, and the whole person walks like a moving golden elephant, full of jewelry.
But when she got here, she realized that no matter how eye-catching she dressed, those people's eyes still involuntarily fell on Jing Yan who was wearing a plain dress. She really couldn't understand what was so beautiful about that woman, and why everyone had to pay so much attention to her!
"Sister Xiangyun, your sister-in-law is really a rare beauty!" Shen Yuzhen gently shook the fan in her hand, two thin eyebrows bent on a handsome melon seed face, and her smart Danfeng eyes gently swept over Jing Yan's body, like a dragonfly dotting water. She was originally a standard bone-feeling beauty, but now when she smiles, she looks like a gently swaying jade tree, with deep collarbones and delicate and moving.
"Don't look at her as a good person, in fact, behind the scenes, there are many intrigues. Cousin Jade, I advise you not to get too close to her, if you don't do it well, people will come and bite you like a mad dog! Ma Xiangyun did not shy away from making sarcastic remarks, and the more he spoke, the more energetic he became.
"Cousin Yu, don't you know, the eldest brother's good concubine Hanyu was killed by her, and the means are not comparable to us!"
"Oh, really?" Shen Yuzhen reached out and took a kidney bean roll and gently took it into her mouth.
still remembers that Wang Song's legs were still very sound at that time, and the Shen family was ready to marry this concubine to him, and the two families were very happy. So when Mrs. Shen came to visit Ma Xiangyun, she often took Shen Yuzhen with her.
Shen Yuzhen has seen Wang Song, and has a good impression of this man who is about to become her husband, he has a handsome face, and his voice is gentle and beautiful when he speaks, which is a huge temptation for a young girl, and more importantly, he has amazing military talents, and his future is limitless.
But who knew that there was an accident later, Wang Song's legs were crippled, and seeing that his future was ruined, the Shen family naturally would not marry his precious concubine to him, and the marriage naturally collapsed.
For the Shen family's decision, Shen Yuzhen couldn't accept it at first, but after understanding the truth, she gradually accepted this fact and thought it was true. How can you marry a man who has no hope and no future, no matter how attractive that person's face is, there is no way to change this fact.
But somehow, after seeing Jing Yan, Shen Yuzhen still felt a lot of stuffiness in her chest. She thought that the person who married Wang Song would be a pockmarked person, at most she would be mediocre, and she would never surpass herself, but now, she ......
She couldn't help but take a deep breath before the surging in her chest gradually eased, but the jealousy deepened.
Even if it's something you discarded, you shouldn't pick it up!
Next to Shen Yuzhen, there was a woman with a face somewhat similar to hers, she sat cramped there, like a frightened rabbit, Xiao-blushing, opened her mouth, and held back a sentence for a long time: "Cousin, she is your sister-in-law......"
Ma Xiangyun raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips and said angrily: "I'm talking to Cousin Yu, what are you talking about!" ”
Shen Baozhen's mother was a singer, who was taken by Lord Shangshu and became an aunt in the house, but died in childbirth when she gave birth to her. So Shen Baozhen and Shen Yuzhen grew up under Mrs. Shen's knees, and the relationship was relatively close. But others instilled in her the idea of concubines all the time, which made the originally introverted Shen Baozhen even more inferior.
At this time, she was yelled at by Ma Xiangyun, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak anymore. She just felt that Jing Yan had nothing to do with them, so why did she have to speak ill of her.
She couldn't help but raise her head, her big sparkling eyes were just right on Jing Yan's autumn eyes, and she was suddenly startled, and she hurriedly wanted to look away.
But what I didn't expect was that Jing Yan picked up the rose dew in front of him and smiled at Shen Baozhen, the shallow pear vortex was faint, the beauty made people can't take their eyes off, and people feel that the spring breeze is blowing, and the most beautiful delicacy is nothing more than that.
Shen Baozhen gradually looked a little stupid, her face still maintained a healthy flush, thinking to herself how could such a beautiful woman do the vicious thing that Ma Xiangyun said.
"Sister, sister...... Younger sister? Shen Yuzhen pushed Shen Baozhen, who was stunned beside her.
Shen Baozhen sat up with a spirit, as if she had lost her soul, and bowed her head again and again in response: "Sister! ”
"What are you looking at, like you've seen a ghost?" Shen Yuzhen pulled down a face and looked at Shen Baozhen's line of sight.
Shen Baozhen was in a hurry, if she was allowed to see her show goodwill to Jing Yan, I was afraid that she would be punished by Mrs. Shen to kneel again. Every time Shen Yuzhen went to complain, she would always be dragged to the ancestral hall by her mothers to punish her for kneeling, and this kneeling was all night, the ancestral hall was dark, and there were terrible voices from time to time, she really didn't want to suffer that kind of suffering anymore.
But there was nothing on the other end of the line, only an empty cup of rose dew.
"I should be looking at something, it turns out that my sister is in a daze." Shen Yuzhen covered her mouth and chuckled, her voice full of sarcasm. For this sister-in-law, she has always ignored it, and her clumsy appearance is embarrassing to bring out.
But with her as a foil, Shen Yuzhen's intelligence can be highlighted, so the sisters always appear at the same time at large and small banquets.
"Yes...... Be...... My sister was in a panic for a while, and she didn't hear what her sister was saying, so she asked her to forgive me......"
"My good sister, how can my sister blame you!" Shen Yuzhen chuckled, glanced at Ma Xiangyun, and said meaningfully, "Sister, it's normal to be in a daze, after all, you're about to be in time, and it's normal to miss your lover......"
"Me! I don't have any lovers! "Shangyuan women and heavy name festivals, if they are said to have a lover, how can they still marry!
"Look at you are so nervous, my sister is just talking casually," Shen Yuzhen took Baozhen's arm and said affectionately, "As long as my sister listens to my sister, I will say a few kind words to my mother and let my sister marry a wishful husband......
Shen Baozhen raised her head suddenly, and saw her eldest sister's pair of Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly, and her already nervous mood sank suddenly.
There is a shallow lake outside the palace, which does not look like it is artificially built, and every grass and tree is naturally formed, although it lacks some sense of luxury, but it has a little more natural beauty.
Shen Baozhen walked from the outside of the palace to the lake in despair, thinking about Ma Xiangyun and Shen Yuzhen's words while walking, only to feel that he had no strength in his body. She is a timid and fearful person, and she has obediently listened to her mother-in-law and eldest sister since she was a child, and she did not dare to disobey at all. But why is it not enough to put her in such a difficult situation?
Unconsciously, Shen Baozhen had already walked to the lake with one shallow foot, but he had no intention of stopping. She had long forgotten that she came here because she saw Jing Yan here, but at this moment, she was too involved in thinking about it and forgot that there was a lake in front of her.
"Miss Shen."
A bright girl sounded behind her, Shen Baozhen couldn't help but stop, a coolness came from her feet, she looked down, only to find that she had reached the edge of the lake, and the long and mopping skirt was wet.
"Jing ...... Ms. Jing...... No! Mrs. Wang ......" Shen Baozhen stepped back in a panic, and accidentally stepped on the branch that fell to the ground, and the whole person lost his center, and he was about to fall into the lake.
Shen Baozhen secretly complained in her heart, she knew that the water was not deep and could not drown people, but if she fell like this, it would take a lot of effort to change her clothes later.
She closed her eyes, but she felt her body being pulled and stood firm again.
"Miss Shen, it's not safe by the lake, let's go over there and talk."
The eyes that are like water smile slightly, as if they can shake the soul in people's hearts. Shen Baozhen nodded involuntarily, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
"I wonder what Miss Shen is looking for me?"
Shen Baozhen's mood was slightly relaxed and nervous again, she was really not easy to lie, and Jing Yan was so smart, the string in her heart collapsed tightly, if she persisted, I was afraid that it would break.
"Cousin says everywhere that you are scheming, I don't think you are such a person......" Shen Baozhen said this, even he was shocked, damn it, he was stupid, and he couldn't even tell lies.
Although the purpose is not pure, this statement is true. Jing Yan smiled slightly, very gentle: "The mouth grows on other people's bodies, how can love be their business, but I know that Miss Shen will not think so." ”
The strings in Shen Baozhen's heart became tighter and tighter, and they were almost about to break. She was very annoyed at this time, if Jingyan was as proud and jealous as Shen Yuzhen and Ma Xiangyun, it would be fine, but she was so understanding, how could this be good!
"Miss Jing, you have to be careful of their ......" Shen Baozhen suddenly turned his head and ran away after putting down this sentence. She really can't face that harmless face of humans and animals, and she really can't do such a thing that aids and abets abuse.
Jing Yan watched that lovely and innocent face go farther and farther, and her gaze gradually became deeper.
"Miss, Miss Shen, she ......" Don't say it's Jing Yan, even Chu Qing on the side can't stand it, Shen Baozhen's appearance, others think that her own young lady bullied her.
"Let her go, after all, she is also threatened." Jing Yan smiled faintly and didn't care.
Suddenly, she raised her right hand and waved it gently, and Chu Qing immediately attached her ear.
Listening to Jing Yan's words, Chu Qing's eyes widened, and then nodded vigorously.
