64. Cool and thin
Sheng Xue saw his father's movements and knew that he had listened to his words. Bai Shi also stood still and said slowly: "The complete works of Master Xu finally let me find it. As soon as these words came out, Aunt Wu was stunned in her heart, she was also born in a scholarly family, and the complete works of Master Xu are worth a fortune, but they are not just a thousand taels of gold. But in Aunt Wu's eyes, the complete works of Master Xu are silver with white flowers. But in the hearts of Bai and Sheng Yuanlian, the meaning is different. This is also destined that Aunt Wu and their husband and wife will not be all the way.
"Ah Zhi......" Sheng Yuanlian couldn't help but evoke Bai's name, because he was so excited in his heart. Before getting married, when Sheng Yuan and Bai were in love, both of them liked Xu Fuzi's articles, but he died young, and the anthologies he left behind were scattered and drifting. Back then, he once sighed that if he could find the complete works of Xu Fuzi one day, he would be fortunate enough for Sansheng. Unexpectedly, Bai actually remembered his exclamation in his heart.
The Bai clan naturally understood what Sheng Yuanlian's soft call was for. But Aunt Wu didn't understand, she couldn't see that the Bai family and the old man were always like this, so she deliberately coughed lightly. Break the eye contact between the two. Sheng Yuan came back to his senses unnaturally, and then remembered that there were so many people around him at this time, so he said, "I must take a good look when I go back." Bai nodded slightly, and the group settled down in the Orchid Garden.
Sheng Yuanlian sat down with Sheng Xue in his arms, and then ordered his entourage to distribute some gifts to everyone. Aunt Wu got a valuable brocade, and Sheng Xueyan also got a pair of good-looking bracelets, but because she had seen the gold bracelet that Sheng Xue wore when she went to Yunjian Temple before, the pair of bracelets that Sheng Yuan brought back was not in her eyes. When she was in a lack of interest, she suddenly saw her father hanging a jade pendant with excellent workmanship on Sheng Xuejian's waist, Sheng Xueyan immediately muttered aggrievedly: "Always give the best to my sister, I want to change it with my sister!" ”
The people in the room listened to Sheng Xueyan's muttering, and suddenly there was no sound. Sheng Yuanlian couldn't help frowning, and looked at Aunt Wu coldly. Sheng Xue saw that her expression was indifferent, and she played with the jade pendant in her hand. She thought that when her father came back, she must have discovered something. Sheng Xueyan has been very dissatisfied with Sheng Yuanlian everywhere from the beginning to the present. Entangled and noisy, there is no rule of the daughter's house. After getting a gift, he still compares with others, and loses his scholarly conduct.
And these two points are the things that Sheng Yuanlian values the most. He couldn't help but say coldly: "I want to hear what you want to exchange with my sister?" Aunt Wu had already heard the unhappiness in the old man's words, and hurriedly glared at her daughter, and was about to open her mouth to help her daughter speak, but she didn't want Sheng Yuanlian to follow and glanced at Aunt Wu coldly: "Don't speak, let her tell me to listen!" ”
Sheng Xueyan didn't know what was wrong, but she finally woke up at this moment that she had angered her father today. Suddenly, Fu Ling replied heartily: "This pair of bracelets on my daughter's hand is brand new, and I want to exchange an old skirt with my sister?" ”
"Old skirts?" Sheng Xueyan's answer made everyone stunned, and even Sheng Xuejian didn't understand what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd. Sheng Xueyan continued: "My sister has a snow-white jacket skirt, I really like it, and I am willing to use this new pair of bracelets to change clothes with my sister." My sister has so many clothes, she won't mind, right? ”
Sheng Xuejian looked at Sheng Xueyan deeply, and wanted to see some clues from her expressions and movements, but no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see it. Although the moire snow jacket is a treasure, it is also a piece of clothing that she has worn for a long time. Sheng Xueyan has always wanted the best and latest in everything, why did she suddenly have the idea of a snow jacket now?
In fact, Sheng Xueyan has been thinking about this moire snow jacket for a long time, because this snow jacket is so beautiful in Sheng Xueyan's eyes that she does not hesitate to trade in the old for the new. Just now, she suddenly thought that she could take this opportunity to force Sheng Xuejian to exchange with her. Sheng Yuanlian listened to Sheng Xueyan's words, and couldn't help but ease his expression. He knew the Sheng family's family background, and he also knew the wealth of the Bai family. The reason why Xue Yan is envious and jealous of Xue Jian is because the Bai family's things are indeed stronger than the Sheng family.
At this moment, when he heard that Sheng Xueyan was going to exchange a new bracelet for an old clothes, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, although he had no feelings for Aunt Wu, but Xue Yan was his daughter after all. So he turned his head and asked Bai, "What kind of jacket is it?" Bai had already guessed the jacket skirt that Sheng Xueyan said, and the value of this pair of bracelets was really not as good as the moire snow jacket. But now she could only reply: "Probably Aman's moire snow jacket." ”
Sheng Yuanlian didn't understand the preciousness of the moire snow jacket, it was just a piece of clothing, and besides, the Bai family was rich, so what was one or two pieces of clothing. Thinking of this, he said: "You don't need to change the bracelet, your sister is not a stingy person, since she likes it, I will give it to you." Sheng Xue saw that when she heard this, her hand playing with the jade pendant suddenly loosened, and the jade pendant almost fell. Sheng Yuanlian caught it with his hand, lowered his head and asked, "What, Ah Man is reluctant to wear clothes?" ”
Sheng Xue saw that she was holding back her emotions and tried her best to make a child's innocence and splendor: "It's just an old dress, I have nothing to do, just give it to my sister." "How could she be angry because of a piece of clothing? She is angry with her father's coldness, regardless of whether she wants to make decisions for herself, what if she also likes that moire snow jacket? The little good feeling that I had for my father was erased at this moment. Seeing that Sheng Xue moved, she jumped off Sheng Yuanlian's lap and walked to Bai's side.
Even in this life and this life, no matter how much her mother likes her father, no matter how much she helps her mother keep this father, when she Sheng Xue sees herself, I am afraid that she will never forgive Sheng Yuanlian for what she did. Even if some of the injuries happened in a past life, they are deeply rooted. It's probably really Sheng Sufeng's bloodline, so is there a kind of selfishness and coldness in his bones? Sheng Xue thought about it when she saw it.
Except for the Bai family, everyone else didn't even notice. Bai Shi frowned slightly, and it was not good to ask her daughter what was wrong at the moment, so she had to sit quietly. Sheng Yuan didn't even say some words again, and Sheng Xue didn't hear it at all. Aunt Wu seized the gap, and her eyebrows fluttered to talk to Sheng Yuanlian, and Sheng Xue was boastful. However, Sheng Yuan couldn't help but reprimand Sheng Xueyan a few more words when he remembered Sheng Xueyan's previous behavior.
Sheng Xueyan pursed her lips aggrievedly, if it weren't for Aunt Wu glaring at her with her eyes, she would probably make a big fuss. In the past, she had always been the little overlord of the family in the Sheng family, when did she suffer such grievances? The hour passed quickly, and the housekeeper's mother came to invite Bai to check the dishes of the New Year's banquet, and Bai took Sheng Xue out of the orchid garden.
