42|Chapter 42 : Before and After Man
Aunt Ruan was squatting, but although she didn't have much strength, she still let her sit on the stage. She looked at her daughter with a quisitive gaze, her eyes moistened.
Shen Hanyue stepped forward and said, "Auntie is okay, right?" You're still sick, and I'll help you back to the house and lie down. She ignored Shen Ayao, knowing her temperament, as long as she opened her mouth, she would inevitably scold this ignorant girl.
Shen Hanyue knew that it was useless to talk too much, and she could see that Aunt Ruan doted on her children too much on weekdays, and Shen Ayao treated her as she called and lingered, which was normal, but I didn't know if my father understood Shen Ayao's temperament?
Only then did Shen Ayao know that there were still people in this courtyard, and looked around with some panic, her eyes fixed on Shen Hanyue and Qingzhu Qinglan.
Shen Hanyue picked up Aunt Ruan with an expressionless face and asked her to go back to her room to rest.
"Sister Yue......" Shen Ayao was at a loss.
Shen Hanyue saw the red on her forehead, and said lightly: "You are injured, go to the medicine first, my aunt is worried." ”
"There is medicine in the third lady's house, and it won't leave a scar if you apply it." After Aunt Ruan finished speaking, she hurriedly walked into the east wing room to get the medicine.
Shen Ayao was anxious, "Sister Yue is here, I don't know, and my aunt didn't tell me, my aunt came today, and my mother asked me to dance at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, I was afraid of making a fool, so I ...... So ......"
"I can see that you love to dance very much, and you are also very attentive, but don't make your aunt sad because you don't care for your body like this." She was in a hurry to explain, and Shen Hanyue concluded that she should not be like this in front of people on weekdays.
That's right, I didn't hear of her being willful and childish before, but she was a low-key young lady who didn't say anything.
From this point of view, in fact, her heart is not like this, otherwise Yang asked her to perform at the banquet, why was she so nervous? After all, it is because he wants to be in the limelight and prove his temperament.
Aunt Ruan returned from the wing room and said hurriedly: "This is medicine, the third lady should apply it quickly, the slave maid asked Zijin to invite Lang Zhong, it is better to let Lang Zhong take a look." ”
Shen Ayao took a few steps forward and took the porcelain bottle in Aunt Ruan's hand, "Just let Yahuan give me medicine, Aunt is still with Sister Yue, I'll come in a while." ”
Shen Hanyue noticed that when she picked up the bottle, she deliberately pressed Aunt Ruan's palm.
Aunt Ruan seemed to understand, and said to Shen Hanyue: "Miss Yue didn't even drink a sip of tea, the third miss should be fine, let's go to the hall to talk!" ”
"I'm just looking at my aunt today, it's time to go, the third sister should take medicine quickly!" As she spoke, she turned and walked outside.
Aunt Ruan sent it to the door: "The third lady was angry just now, she ...... She is no better than the eldest lady, and together with my aunt, she has been wronged a lot, she is not like this on weekdays......"
Since Shen Ayao has two tempers in front of people and behind people, and hinted at Aunt Ruan just now, Shen Hanyue understands the meaning: "Auntie, don't worry, she is not in time, she is still a little girl, and it is normal to have some temperament." I didn't have to mention these little things to my father and big brother. ”
Aunt Ruan saw that she hadn't said it yet, she already understood, and nodded gratefully: "It's all my uselessness as an aunt, and nothing can help her." ”
Shen Hanyue saw her look guilty and self-blaming, poor people must have something to hate, but Shen Hanyue still didn't control herself, and couldn't help but say: "Where did the sky come from?" Where is the home without land? Where did she come from without you? What does my aunt think she should help her? What does my aunt owe her? It's nothing to lose your temper once, but my aunt has thought about it, and there are no parents who are willing to be slaves, where did the princess get sick? ”
Aunt Ruan's lips were tightly closed, as if she couldn't understand Shen Hanyue's words at once, and then said: "She was wronged, I could only watch from the side, it was my fault in the end!" ”
“……”
Aunt Ruan hurriedly wiped away her tears, "Let Miss Yue smile, the magnolia pattern has been embroidered, and it will soon be made into a dress, and I will send it to you when the time comes." ”
Shen Hanyue shook her head, "I'm not in a hurry, my sister's dance clothes are more important, and she needs to use them on stage." ”
***
After returning to Qionghua Xiaoyuan, Shen Hanyue felt that she was still congested.
She wanted to have a mother-in-law, but Shen Ayao was good, with Aunt Ruan holding it in the palm of her hand, she was arrogant and unreasonable.
Aunt Ruan's cowardly temperament is certain, there is no way to let the Yang family bully, and it is even possible to let the powerful subordinates look down on her.
But...... As her biological daughter, Shen Ayao treats her like this?
Aunt Ruan, who was willing to be a slave and a maidservant, and Shen Ayao, who was ungrateful and cherished, made her very depressed.
The so-called Qing officials are difficult to cut off family affairs, how can freezing three feet be a day's cold? Shen Hanyue knew that she couldn't intervene, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, what could she do?
Thinking of this, he was slightly irritable, and called Qingzhu Qinglan: "You go to the eldest brother's yard to find a few jars of wine." With that, she walked straight to the courtyard and used some strength to move the bamboo ladder that repaired the roof to the eaves.
Qinglan exclaimed: "Miss......" How could she stop Shen Hanyue from climbing up.
Shen Hanyue glanced at her when she crawled to the middle: "Qinglan is good, don't scare me, if you don't fall, I'll blame you, go get the wine." She said while crawling, and when she got to the roof, Qinglan said to Qingzhu with a bitter face: "Sister go to get the bar, I'm watching the young lady here." ”
When Shen Hanyue heard her say that she was looking at herself, she actually laughed, and she stared at it if she wanted to, anyway, it didn't affect her looking up at the vast starry sky.
After a while, Qingzhu came back and walked into the courtyard with two small jars of wine, followed by Shen Jue.
Shen Jue was draped in a big hat, and it was estimated that he was going to sleep, but it must have been Qingzhu who had climbed high and wanted to drink again, so he came to see what was going on.
Shen Hanyue was lying next to the roof, her voice languishing: "I'm fine, do I need such a fuss?" ”
Shen Jue raised his finger at her: "You come down for me." ”
"It's fun to watch the stars here, anyway, they've already come up, isn't it a loss if you don't look at it for a long time?"
"You...... You can't get down in the end, how can there be a wild man like you, it's really the first time I've seen it. Shen Jue said, and also climbed down the ladder to the roof.
"I want wine to come up, not for you to come up."
"You can't go crazy, you will fall to death when you get drunk."
"You don't know this, I've been a sommelier, and I'm especially interested in red wine." Thinking about it, what to do with him is not a matter of the times.
Shen Jue glanced at her, on this roof, he didn't dare to move too much, so he could only sit down with her, trying to persuade her to go back, but as soon as he looked up, the stars in his eyes made him lose his original intention.
"You know, it's really nice to have a great view of such a place."
Shen Hanyue smiled, lost her previous gloom, and said to Qingzhu: "You guys climb carefully and pass the wine up." ”
Shen Jue hesitated for a moment, and asked with some disbelief, "Are you okay?" Can you really drink it? ”
Shen Hanyue nodded firmly: "I am very measured, I will never let myself get drunk, wine is for tasting, you can drink as you like, but I won't make myself drunk, and I will let myself suffer tomorrow." ”
"Okay, okay, I can't see that you have this gentleman's temperament, I'll have a drink with you." As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked Qingzhu to bring up the wine.
Qingzhu Qinglan was a little dumbfounded, the eldest prince had changed the rudder, what could they do?
Shen Jue took the wine and opened it skillfully, the aroma of the wine was overflowing, Shen Hanyue sniffed, "The aroma is mellow, and there is a little floral fragrance, what kind of wine is this?" ”
"You can't underestimate that! This is pear blossom brewing, but the koji that makes this wine is something I finally picked up, count you as knowledgeable, come-" He held the jar high and invited Shen Hanyue to taste the wine.
Shen Hanyue smiled and touched his jar, and the two of them took a big sip: "Well, it's not bad, the alcohol content is about twenty." ”
Shen Jue looked sideways, "It's always incomprehensible when you speak, what alcohol is it?" What do you mean by being a sommelier just now? ”
"Uh......" seemed to have leaked his mouth, and smirked: "You took the wrong medicine and talked nonsense." ”
Shen Jue felt that she didn't want to say more, so she looked up at the stars, lowered her head and continued to drink. Brother and sister, you take a sip, I take a sip, talk for a while, look at it for a while, but drink heartily.
In the middle of the day, Shen Jue tried to trap her again, because he didn't believe that she really forgot what happened before. It's just that Shen Hanyue really doesn't know the past of this body, so she can only continue without comment! He loves to believe it or not, it's not for her to control it.
Shen Jue had no choice but to give up the idea of digging up her old bottom.
Shen Hanyue shook the jar in her hand, "It seems that the bottom is almost at the bottom, do you still have it?" ”
Shen Jue grabbed the wine jar placed on the tiles and checked it, "It's almost there." ”
Shen Hanyue was already a little drunk, and now her head was slightly heavy, she must be able to sleep, she got up, her whole arm stretched straight, "Touch it again." ”
"Crazy girl, wild girl, can you really drink it in a jar, and I can't lose to you?"
This boldness made Shen Hanyue happy, she hadn't had this carefree feeling for a long time, "After doing this bit of wine, the jar will be handed over to me." As she spoke, she drank the last drop, wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeve, and sang to the sky: "When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky, I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace, what ......year is it tonight."
Her voice was euphemistic and beautiful, hovering in the night sky, Shen Jue was immersed in it, closing her eyes and shaking her head to admire.
“…… I hope that people will last a long time, thousands of miles together! After finishing the song, she grabbed the wine jar in Shen Jue's hand, got up and threw it down, and with a bang, the two jars were broken into several pieces.
Shen Jue was recalling the words of the song just now, it was a quatrain, and he was startled by Shen Hanyue's movement, and immediately pulled back his thoughts.
"Just be happy." Shen Hanyue said four words, raised her head to look at the night sky, and sighed to herself: "It's been a long time since I've been so happy, thank you big brother for accompanying me." ”
Shen Jue saw that she got up and stood there, with no signs of unstable center of gravity, so she relieved her heart and sighed: "My sister is really good, Xin Yue's piano and dance skills are good, and you ......"
"How can I compare with her in talent?" Shen Hanyue didn't wait for him to finish, then interjected, and then pointed to a courtyard in the mansion and said, "The lights over there are on, I'm afraid I'm waking up!" ”
Shen Jue also stood up and looked in the direction of her finger: "That's my father's study, if I know that you and I are messing around like this, I must be unlucky." He climbed down the ladder as he spoke, and kept urging Shen Hanyue to go down quickly.
Shen Hanyue was about to go back to the house, so she didn't object, and followed him back to the ground.
Shen Jue patted the dust on his body, "The words of the song you sang just now are really good, I must write it when I go back." ”
The cloister was dimly lit, and Qingzhu Qinglan surrounded Shen Hanyue to check whether her clothes were stained with dust.
Shen Hanyue put them aside with a smile and said to Shen Jue: "Nonsense, can Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Tou Mingyue When Will There Be It" bad?" Realizing that he was confused again, he actually said the name of the ancients in another time and space, and he didn't want Shen Jue to ask, so he hurriedly pretended to yawn, turned around and prepared to go back to the boudoir.
This action made her find that a gauze lamp stopped there at the gate of the garden, and when she looked closely, it was Shen Ayao and her maid.
The others also spotted them, and Qinglan Qingzhu hurriedly saluted and said, "I've seen the third lady." "I don't know how long Shen Ayao has been in? They kept an eye on the rooftop, and didn't see anyone coming in.
Shen Ayao slowly approached, "I saw that the door was not closed, so I came in by myself, but I didn't expect my sister to really not sleep, and I was fortunate to hear my sister singing." "Her voice is soft, how can she be so sharp to Aunt Ruan? Shen Hanyue was a little disdainful of her two faces.
Shen Jue's brows raised slightly, I don't know when they became acquainted? But he still asked, "Why did you come here so late?" ”
"My sister just can't sleep, so I want to come and talk to my sister."
"You have a distance from here, I can't see that you are so close to Yueya?" Shen Jue's words made Shen Hanyue realize that he didn't seem to like this third sister either.
Shen Hanyue asked, "Are you talking to me?" Why not wait until tomorrow to say? ”
Shen Ayao was also asked by her, and lowered her head, as if she was very aggrieved.
Shen Hanyue frowned and said, "It's cold outside, let's go into the house and talk!" Shen Jue stopped talking and walked straight outside.
Shen Ayao followed Shen Hanyue into the hall, "Does my sister dislike me too?" ”
"Sister, sit down, you're just afraid that I won't like you, so you came to me so late?"
"I ...... I was angry today and hurt my aunt's heart, my aunt won't blame me, but I'm afraid that my sister will be angry with me. ”
"No, what do I have to be angry about, you are the young lady of the Shen Mansion, what is the reason for losing your temper? Who doesn't have a trick? ”
Shen Ayao stirred the handkerchief with her small hand, and Zhiwu said: "I used to be ignorant, and I argued with my aunt that I wanted the same golden hairpin as my eldest sister, so I ...... My aunt sold the porcelain shop that her father gave her and bought me hairpins. I...... At that time, I didn't think my aunt would do this, but my father was angry with me and my aunt. ”
Shen Hanyue lowered her eyes and thought to herself, she might not be very sensible now. Aunt Ruan really can't figure it out, didn't her father give her a porcelain shop to make her have some money? As a result, for the sake of his daughter's *, he sold it directly, and whoever he changed would shake his head.
"If my sister sues my father, I'll ...... I'm making a fool of myself in front of my aunt again, I'm afraid that my father will blame my aunt again! My aunt was slapped by Luo's mother last time, and her face was swollen for several days......"
Shen Hanyue nodded, yes, yes, Shen Ayao is young, but her mind is not simple, she is afraid that she will tell Aunt Ruan what she called for her, and she can't sleep, so she comes here to talk to herself. also moved out of Aunt Ruan, hoping that he would not cause Aunt Ruan to be blamed by her father for this work, and also mentioned the last time Aunt Ruan slapped her, arousing his apologies to Aunt Ruan.
Alas, this Shen Ayao is just using the level and suzune of her relatives? Shen Hanyue was really disappointed, and felt sorry for Aunt Ruan!
"I told my aunt that I wouldn't tell my father or eldest brother about these homely things, and I will do what I say and I won't break my promise." Then she got up, walked up the corner staircase to the attic, turned to her, and said, "It's too late, I want to sleep." But you've always been my sister, so how could I hate you? Shen Hanyue said this sentence against her will, and it was just nice to say.
She continued: "It is not easy for my sister to be in the house, but in life, who has no difficulties? Your well-behaved self is in everyone's eyes, but ...... Whose do you blame your misaffection, do you think Madame will be unaware? ”
Shen Ayao's face changed instantly, her lips opened slightly, as if she wanted to continue to argue, but she didn't say anything.
Looking at her face here made her very angry, but since Shen Hanyue had already promised that she would not tell what happened to the dance practice at night, that was enough!
Now in extraordinary times, how can the housewife know that she is preparing a hundred flowers banquet with her heart? All of them are moving towards her plan, and the housemother and aunt really don't want her to be in the limelight. But she can't take care of others, even if she enters the Chongwang Mansion as a concubine, she is better than the eldest prince who follows the Ningyang Hou Mansion!
