To say that since the old lady of the Chen family, there have not been many girls in the clan. When it comes to Chen Yifei's generation, leaving aside the stupid Chen Siqi, there are only two girls, Chen Siyu from the main house, and Chen Siyuan from the third room.
This time my grandmother celebrated her birthday, and the eldest granddaughter Chen Siyu specially rushed back from Hangzhou, not only that, but also the two nieces and granddaughters of the old lady's ancestral family, Shen Shunhua and Shen Shunying, came with her.
The Shen family in Jinling is a scholarly family for generations, but it is a pity that in recent years, the talents in the clan have withered, and since Mrs. Chen's younger brother Shen Qinhe, a scholar in the cabinet, has not been able to find a decent talent in the clan.
In the end, the scholars are not as good as those princesses, and now after more than ten years, they have gradually declined, only the father of the two sisters Shen Shunhua and Shen Shunying is still an official in the court, but he is only a small county prince, and he is old, and he is rigid and wooden, and he is conformist, and he sees three years on the left and three years on the right...... It's hard to get a chance to get promoted.
This time, the Shen family lent Mrs. Chen the opportunity to celebrate her birthday and send the two girls to Beijing, one is to take the opportunity to pull in the relationship with the Chen family and hug the big tree of the Chen family, and then come, also hoping to find a decent family affair for the two daughters.
In addition to the two sisters of the Shen family, Liao Yanwan, the niece of the eldest lady, and Jiang Xingfang, the niece of the third lady, were also invited.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, several little girls gathered, lively and lively to accompany the old lady, for a time the flowers were red and willow green, laughter, and the old lady Chen was coaxed to smile, like a spring breeze, and people looked a lot younger than usual.
Mrs. Chen is also a very good and lively person, and now a group of juniors are under their knees, so they are naturally happy, especially seeing that the Shunhua Shunying sisters of the ancestral family are born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and they are also very docile and well-behaved, and they are even more fond of it.
When it comes to appearance, the four sons of the Chen family all follow the benefits of their respective parents, and if they pick out whichever one, they are all handsome and chic, and they are all lofty. It's just that the eldest Chen Yiran has already married a wife and had children, and the fourth Chen Yiting is still young, only the two brothers Chen Yifei and Chen Yihong are exactly the same age as a few little girls.
Chen Yifei became famous as a young man, and he was born gentle and elegant, so it is naturally easier to capture the heart of a girl than Chen Yihong, who is white. After a meal, I don't know how much attention I received openly and secretly, and how much affection I caused.
He didn't know it.
However, he said that since he had a gun with Su Jinchen in the carriage two days ago, although the matter did not come to pass, the relationship between the two was really one step closer. Now it is Lang Qing's concubine, when the honey is blending oil, it is not enough to stick together every day, and the eyes are full of the little man's smile, where can I tolerate others? So he politely greeted a few cousins, and had a meal with his grandmother, and his eyes did not linger on them for a moment.
After lunch, everyone set up a table to play a few cards with the old lady, and when it was time for her old man to take a nap, Chen Yiran and the brothers got up to say goodbye.
But said that Mrs. Chen invited a group of girls to celebrate her birthday this time, which meant to look at Chen Yifei, and at this time she couldn't help but smile and said to her granddaughter Chen Siyu, "Your sisters have just arrived, you are the sisters, and take them around the garden, don't stay in the house one by one." ”
He turned his head to Shen Shunhua, Shen Shunying, Liao Yanwan, Jiang Xingfang and other girls and said, "You have come here, just like your own family, if you want to eat or play on weekdays, you can only say it generously, but you are not allowed to see outside." ”
The other people were okay, they only responded with a respectful smile, only Liao Yanwan pouted disapprerovingly, and said coquettishly with a smile, "The old lady is just like Wan'er's own grandmother, so Wan'er won't see ...... outside" said and stepped forward to hold her arm affectionately, "If you don't dislike it, Wan'er will come to accompany you every day in the future?" ”
The girl is innocent, smiling and smiling, and anyone who sees it feels happy.
Another meaning in those words made the old lady's heart flutter.
There were also many people sitting there who knew Liao Yanwan's thoughts about Chen Yifei, and several inquiring glances fell on him.
Chen Yifei only lowered his head and tasted the tea slowly, as if he hadn't heard anything.
The old lady patted Liao Yanwan's hand happily, "That's good, if you don't feel bored, I wish you would come every day." ”
"Then it's settled." Liao Yanwan said sweetly, "Don't be noisy when you arrive." ”
"Not idle, not idle......" Mrs. Chen nodded with a smile and glanced at her granddaughter again.
Chen Siyu was brought up by her grandmother, so she naturally understood what her grandmother meant, so she asked Chen Yifei with a smile, "Didn't you say you were going to the study first?" We happen to be together, and you and I will accompany a few cousins. ”
Chen Yifei was miserable in his heart, and nodded with a light smile on his face, "Yes, eldest sister." ”
Chen Yihong watched coldly, jealousy flashed in his eyes, and he saluted his grandmother with a smile, and withdrew with his brother and sister-in-law.

Chen Siyu led a few girls in front, and Chen Yifei deliberately slowed down and fell behind.
The group walked to a small lake with rippling blue waves, and suddenly heard Liao Yanwan ask, "Second cousin, Sister Yuan fell into the water here before?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes couldn't help but gather.
Chen Siyu was also startled when she heard this, "Overboard? When will it be? How did I not know? ”
Chen Yifei glanced at Liao Yanwan coldly and explained to her sister, "It was after the Mid-Autumn Festival last year...... Sister Yuan was playing by the lake and accidentally lost her footing-"
Chen Siyu's eyes widened in fright, "What about later?" ”
"Fortunately, Yiting arrived in time, and the person was fine, but he was a little frightened."
Chen Siyu stroked her chest in fear, "Sister Yuan'er is too bold!" When I see her again, I'm going to have to beat her up. Chen Siyuan has caught a cold in the past two days and has been locked in the house to recuperate.
Chen Yifei smiled, "She has been taught a lesson, now don't say it's a lake, even if she sees a puddle, she will walk around." ”
"I heard that there was a girl who went into the water to save people...... Second cousin, is it true? I only heard Liao Yanwan ask innocently.
Chen Yifei nodded lightly, "Hmm...... At that time, a girl from my hospital happened to pass by. ”
Among the girls, Shen Shunying was the youngest, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but ask Chen Yifei curiously, "Does she also know water?" ”
Chen Yifei shook his head with a wry smile, "It's really not, it's just an impulse to go down." ”
Chen Siyu frowned disapprovingly, "What can she do as a girl, don't do it for grandstanding." ”
"The eldest sister is too worried." Chen Yifei smiled faintly, "That girl is simple-minded, but when she saw Sister Yuan falling into the water, she didn't care so much when she was in a hurry." ”
Seeing that Liao Yanwan was about to open her mouth, Chen Yifei said simply, "Eldest sister, I just remembered that I still need to return to Zizhai to get some things, so I will go back first." As he spoke, he said goodbye to his cousins gently, and went straight in the direction of Jingzizhai.
