Outside the courtyard, there was a sudden sound of noisy footsteps, and the sound of the piano trembled, Su Yichen held the ice strings with both hands and quickly stood up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoSister Rushuang, who hadn't seen her for many days, appeared in front of her with Qiu Jing and a group of maids. Shen Rushuang was much thinner than before, and the bright blue mink velvet with a vertical collar was lined with a sharp and small chin like a jade carving. She tilted her head slightly, looking down at her sister, who had saluted her. Su Yichen didn't know the purpose of her trip, but obviously she wouldn't have come to chat and play with her like before. The sound of the flute in the distance continued, and Lu Qi's abrupt pause may have puzzled him, and Xiao Yin gradually became louder and higher, tactful and leisurely, as if concerned and inquiring. A cold smile appeared at the corner of Shen Rushuang's mouth, and a mocking look fell on her: "Chen'er is so born Yaxing, my sister has a headache and can't sleep, you pour the piano flute and Ming, it's so lively." ”

She secretly screamed in her heart, she expected that Sister Rushuang had misunderstood her, but she didn't know that it was so deep, and it was obvious that she was reproached today. Biting his lip at the moment, he lowered his head and smiled apologetically: "I don't know if I disturbed my sister's rest, Chen'er knew that it was wrong, so Chen'er accepted it." ”

"Stop."

She had to stop, stood in place with Lu Qiqin in her arms, and turned to Shen Rushuang.

"I forgot, Chen'er's guqin was a gift from a handsome son, and I heard that a few days ago, I quietly sent someone to send this rare qin score over. My aunt is so well-educated, and you are so open-minded and unconventional, which makes my sister admire. It's just that I don't know, when it spreads outside, what do outsiders think of my Shen family's door? Oh, I almost forgot that my aunt was more open-minded than your sister back then. Shen Rushuang deliberately covered her mouth and chuckled, and then said in a long voice: "Otherwise, where did you come from?" ”

Her face sank, and her chest was like a sharp blade piercing, and her whole body froze in an instant. She can accept Shen Rushuang humiliating her and blaming her, but she must not tolerate her disrespectful remarks to her mother. Even if she is her sister, even if she will be the emperor's concubine in the future, she subconsciously clenched the green qiqin in her hand, and heard the onion fingers click and break.

Shen Rushuang seemed to feel her anger, walked over and walked around her side and smiled coldly, then attached it to her ear, and said softly: "What, why are you so angry?" You can't make me marry King Ning, and now I want to enter the palace, and I can't see Brother Changyou again in my eternal life, do you think you can get your wish? You die of this heart, what I can't get, you can't think of it in this life! ”

Her words are the point, whether she humiliates or ridicules Su Yichen, she seeks revenge because of misunderstanding. Su Yichen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, pressed the pain in his heart, told himself not to be angry, opened his eyes again, and explained to her again: "Sister, heaven and earth can be learned, Chen'er has never thought of harming her sister, and King Ning's matter is really an unintentional mistake." I know that no matter what I say or do, I can't make up for it now, and if it makes you feel better, you can beat me and scold me, and I'll leave you at your disposal. ”

"Don't be coy in front of me! If it weren't for you, how could King Ning go to the palace to ask for a decree, and how could my father only send me to the palace?! Pretending to be innocent and pitiful all day long, since you came back, your father and brother have favored you in everything. You are a wild seed that rolls out of nowhere, but you eat and wear everything like me, and your father still feels indebted to you every day, and always asks your mother to take care of you more! But where did I provoke you, you want to hurt me like this! Shen Rushuang suddenly became excited, tears filled with tears, and she was overwhelmed with pathos, her breathing became rapid in an instant, her little face was pale, and her body was shaky. Su Yichen knew that she was delicate and weak after her illness, and she was unstable and couldn't be stimulated, so she panicked forward to help her, but she pushed her away desperately. Qiu Jing hurriedly hugged her, and Shen Rushuang couldn't help fainting. The courtyard suddenly fell into a panic, the maids pinched people again, and helped her caress her chest to soothe it, Qiu Jing sent someone to invite the housewife and Lang Zhong respectively, and then helped the eldest lady back to her room.

After being reprimanded by the Li family that night, Su Yichen carefully wiped the green qiqin, stroked it for a long time, and finally put it back into the piano box together with the piano score.

The sound of the flute would sound every few days, and she stood by the window, listening with her voice motionless, holding in her hand the Jinpa, which had originally wrapped the score. Jinpa is still as white as snow, soft and smooth, and there is no trace of tears. Her heart suddenly moved, and she asked Shen Xiu to get the needle and thread.

In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the whole house was busy for several days, scrubbing and sticking, and each room and hall were also replaced with new flower potted plants, which looked auspicious and lively. Shen Congyun used to be stationed in the frontier all year round and rarely returned home, so this year can be described as a reunion and wealth. Li is in a good mood and smiles every day. A few days ago, Emperor Xuan specially sent down a batch of rewards, gold, silver and silk, eating and juggling, and several eunuchs held them and sent them into the mansion. In the entire Chao'an City, the scenery of the Shen Mansion is unique for a while, and everyone knows that the young lady of the Shen Mansion family has not yet entered the palace, and she has already won a deep favor. Shen Congyun also seemed no longer so preoccupied, and the corners of his mouth were faintly smiling.

However, Shen Rushuang is unhappy, this unhappiness is condensed on the tip of the eyebrows, and gradually becomes a faint sad color, the previous bright and lively has disappeared, but there is more quiet and graceful temperament, which makes people feel weak and loving. Su Yichen can no longer call her Sister Rushuang, even if it is the Li family, she can no longer call her by her maiden name or call her daughter as usual, she is already the emperor's woman, her status in this mansion is above all else, everyone is respectful and obedient to her, carefully served, and admires the majesty and dignity of the royal family. This kind of admiration is also lonely and cold, as soon as she enters the palace gate of Chao'an Palace, it is her future life.

Su Yichen had a lot of dreams last night, and when he woke up in the morning, he seemed to be dizzy. Shen Xiu went to the kitchen and served her some porridge and side dishes, barely drank a little, and went to bed for a while, Fang Jue eased a little. Because she didn't want Shen Xiu to worry about her again, she didn't dare to show discomfort, but she didn't sleep well at night and was in poor spirits. Shen Xiu smiled after hearing this: "Miss wants to be lazy again, I still remember a few years ago, when our master and servant kept the New Year, you fell asleep in the arms of the eldest lady before the third year." ”

"How can I forget, my mother will always make some food that day, and every time I am full, I get sleepy, but my mother and Xiuniang, you still eat by me every year, and I am lazy to sleep." A smile appeared at the corner of Su Yichen's mouth, and those beautiful pictures seemed to appear in front of him.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, according to the etiquette, you must worship the ancestral tablet and thank the ancestors for their blessings and health before you can officially open the banquet, gather for a drink, share the family, and stay up late to observe the New Year. Shen Congyun led the servants of the family, burned incense with clean hands, and after praying sincerely, he dispersed most of the domestic servants, and some of the family went home to keep the New Year with their relatives, and the homeless set up another wine and food in the servant courtyard for their happy gathering. This afternoon, the Dingguo Houfu distributed monthly silver to all the subordinates in the palace, and gave an extra rich red envelope, and everyone was overjoyed, and after thanking the Hou Ye and the main mother, they dispersed.

This is Shen Rushuang's last year in the mansion, and at this time next year, she has become the owner of a palace in the Chao'an Palace, either with the emperor or alone, watching and praying for her tomorrow. Therefore, this year's New Year's Eve in the house is more exquisite and prosperous than in previous years, with delicacies and fresh fruits, carved dragons and phoenixes auspicious omens and wealth, and firecrackers and fireworks are countless. The fireworks in the servant courtyard have long been intertwined with the fireworks in Chao'an City, and a few maids who are with them have also let go of their courage and set off tricks in the front yard.
