163 They grew up together

Old Lady Jiang is rarely cunning, "Do you think the ice goose girl is good-looking?" ”

Shen Bingyan, the first beauty in Lin'an City.

After several years of precipitation, his appearance has become more and more eye-catching, and the matchmaker who courted him is almost about to break through the threshold of the Shen family.

Shen Changfeng thought for a while and replied, "It's okay." ”

"How about comparing it to your fifth sister?"

Shen Changfeng raised his eyebrows, "What does Grandmother want to say?" ”

"Your mother-in-law's heart is higher than the sky, and she wants to push the ice goose girl to the prince and show her face."

The old man picked up the teacup and sniffed it gently, "I thought, although the five girls are just cardamom, but in two years, their appearance will never be worse than that of the ice goose girl." In terms of temperament and scheming, the five girls are far better than the ice goose girls. ”

"What does grandmother mean is to match Xie Jinci with the prince?"

"The life of the five girls is hard, if they can enter the East Palace as a concubine, even if it is just a side concubine, do you still need to worry about the bright future? In the future, the crown prince will ascend the throne, and she will be in the harem, and she can also help our family. ”

If Mrs. Jiang was talking about any girl in the house, Shen Changfeng would definitely raise his hands in approval, anyway, he had no affection for those sisters.

But this person is Xie Jinci, so it's not good.

The young man put down the brush, "The palace gate is as deep as the sea, where is the favorite concubine so good?" The slightest carelessness implicates the whole family. Grandmother, you're confused. ”

Implicating the whole family......

A chill ran down Old Lady Jiang's spine.

After thinking about it for a long time, she sighed lightly, "That's it, although the Heavenly Family is rich, it is also dangerous. With such a splendid future with thorns, we won't plan for the five girls. As for the Ice Goose girl......"

Mrs. Guo had greeted her a long time ago, and she had to handle her daughter's marriage herself.

With the power and wealth in front of her, she is afraid that she will not give up.

The old man sighed again.

Shen Changfeng got up and left.

Walking through the verandah, his face was a little ugly.

He was not in a hurry about Xie Jinci's marriage.

What made him angry was Feng Wankite, the woman who replaced Xie Jinci's identity.

Why did she go south to Lin'an?

Is it really for the sake of flattering and pleasing the crown prince?

The young man frowned, and as soon as he turned the corner, he bumped into Xie Jinci who was hiding here.

He grabbed Xie Jinci's ear, "What are you doing sneaky?" ”

Xie Jinci was angry, "Shen Changfeng, why do you keep plucking my ears?!" Let go, or I'll call someone! ”

Shen Changfeng let go of his hand and imprisoned her against the wall with a sneer, "Xie Jinci, I saved your marriage just now, how do you want to thank me?" ”

He was tall and had a chilling breath.

When he lowered his eyes, he saw the girl he was confined to be white and delicate, and there was a light incense of agarwood hidden between the crow's hair, like a little lamb to be slaughtered.

For Xie Jinci, being confined to the wall so strongly made her feel suffocated.

She didn't like it.

She pushed Shen Changfeng away angrily, "Even if you don't help me, I have a way to persuade my grandmother." Also, Shen Changfeng, don't touch me at every turn, it's very annoying! ”

As he spoke, he patted his sleeves and skirt in disgust.

Shen Changfeng knocked on her head funny, "Xie Jinci, you are becoming more and more unruly now, and my name is also what you can call?" Be good, call Brother Feng to listen. ”

Xie Jinci grimaced at him and ran away.

"Stop!" Shen Changfeng quickly grabbed her braids, "Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, the one in the East Palace will come to Lin'an, you will go to the academy to stay at that time, and don't hang around in front of him, do you hear?" ”

Although he knew that Xie Jinci only liked him, his little words were so cute and beautiful, it was hard to guarantee that the prince would not be tempted.

He wants to extinguish all Xie Jinci's peach blossoms in the cradle!

Xie Jinci tilted his head, "But I haven't seen the prince yet, why don't I be allowed to hang out in front of him?" I'm not Shen Bingyan, so I won't cause trouble at home. ”

"Because you are ugly, I am afraid that the prince will see that your eyes are uncomfortable."

Xie Jinci was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently.

This little brother is so bad!

Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.

Shen Lingxi will marry Jiang Chen as his wife.

On the day of the wedding, almost all the famous characters in Lin'an City came to the wedding banquet.

Xie Jinci and several sisters of the Shen family came to add makeup to Shen Lingxi.

The married girl has exquisite makeup, and her eyes are the only shyness that belongs to the bride.

She took the hands of her sisters and gave them jade bracelets and gold hairpins one by one, which was both a blessing and a reluctance.

Shen Bingyan was envious and red-eyed, and said in a sour tone: "Speaking of which, my grandmother originally intended to give me to the Jiang family, if I hadn't refused, Jiang Gongzi would not have had a chance to marry the third sister." This marriage, what kind of fate is it, and the third sister needs to run it by herself in the future. ”

Among the sisters of the Shen family, she is always the one who is not likable.

Shen Lingxi smiled when she heard this, "Second sister is too worried, marriage is never predetermined, but artificial, I believe in Jiang Gongzi and myself." ”

"That's a good point."

The fan was pushed away, and a woman in plain clothes walked in under the guidance of the maid.

She combed the woman's hair in a bun, her posture was dignified, and her face was fair and beautiful, like an orchid in the hollow valley.

Shen Siling's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly ran over and hugged her tightly, "Big sister! How did you get back? ”

"Lingxi is married, I'm a sister, of course I have to come back to see."

Shen Lan touched her young sister's head lovingly, came to the makeup mirror table, and personally put on a phoenix crown for Shen Lingxi.

Shen Bingyan opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Shen Lanxin glanced at her lightly, "Bingyan, as a sister, I haven't taught you anything over the years." Now that Lingxi is getting married, there are only you and the two little sisters left in the family, you listen to me, and in the future, no matter who comes before or after, say a few words about right and wrong. ”

She turned to Shen Siling and Xie Jinci again, "There are only five sisters in our mansion in total, and they should be closer than the girls next to them." Whether we are married, or when we are in the boudoir, we should all support each other, and we must not calculate each other. ”

Xie Jinci nodded obediently.

When she first saw the eldest sister of the Shen family, she felt that the other party was gentle but majestic, and she had a good impression in her heart.

While the five sisters were talking, Mama came in to report that the auspicious time had come.

Firecrackers go off.

Xie Jinci squeezed into the crowd and watched Shen Lingxi get on the sedan chair.

This quiet and indifferent love has finally come to a successful end today.

Shen Lanxin returned home, Shen Siling was the happiest one, as soon as the sedan chair left, she couldn't wait to pull the eldest sister back to her small courtyard.

At the dinner, the old lady drank a few glasses of wine, and she was reluctant to marry her granddaughter, so she asked Xie Jinci to help her back to the Crane Courtyard on the grounds that she was not strong enough to drink.

It's just a road, but it's not a road to the Crane Temple.

Xie Jinci helped the old lady through the side door of the secluded south courtyard and reminded softly, "Grandmother, this road is to the ancestral hall, what are you going to do there?" ”

The old lady shook her head and did not answer.

Xie Jinci helped her to the outside of the ancestral hall, the golden autumn full moon, it is a good season for the laurel tree to bloom.

There are several osmanthus trees in the courtyard, the green leaves are like green, the light gold is like flower, and it is exuding a sweet fragrance.

"Heng'er's favorite is this osmanthus fragrance."

The old lady sighed lightly and stepped into the ancestral hall by herself.

The Heng'er in her mouth is her late third son, Shen Heng.

Xie Jinci was about to follow up, when a hand stretched out from the oblique stab and quietly held her wrist.

The girl turned around, "Shen Changfeng, you don't eat and drink in the front yard, why did you come to the ancestral hall?" ”

"The old man is incense to his son, what are you going to do with him?"

Shen Changfeng stared at the courtyard door, only to see a figure sneaking in.

The person who came was Lu Jinghuai, he didn't see Xie Jinci in the front yard, and found that Shen Changfeng suddenly left the table, so he followed.

The night was quiet, and the three of them hid behind the laurel tree, pricking up their ears to listen to the movements in the ancestral hall.

At the same time, the front yard of the Shen Mansion.

In the jubilant atmosphere of the women's banquet, no one noticed that a young girl was lying outside the window.

She was dressed in red, carrying a red silk umbrella on her back, and her skin was sickly pale.

Her overly dark pupils flickered with natural coolness, and she looked at the young woman with a bulging belly during the banquet without smiling or making trouble, as quiet as a porcelain doll.

Is this woman the one that the big brother likes very much?

But she is already married and has children.

Even so, does the big brother still like this woman so much?

Her sun, is that much like this woman?

She clearly knew that what was in her eldest brother's eyes was never her father-in-law of the sun, but Chen Yuwei......

She looked at the plain woman with gentle eyebrows at the banquet, and boundless darkness appeared in her eyes.

Lonely and stubborn.

"Xing'er, why are you standing here? I've been looking for you for a long time! ”

Zhang Qiming suddenly appeared behind her.

Ning Shaoxing glanced at him and turned to leave.

"Xing'er," Zhang Qiming was at a loss, "what's wrong with you?" You ignore me when I talk to you these days, and the birds, dogs, and kittens I give you are all gone, what the hell are you-"

Ning Shaoxing looked sideways, "Get out of here." ”

Zhang Qiming was stunned, and took two steps back, "Xing'er ......"

He and Xing'er have known each other for many years, and in the past, Xing'er would politely call him "Brother Qi Ming", and would ask him to go to the street to buy chestnut cakes for her to eat, but why did she ignore him now?

In Zhang Qiming's incomprehensible eyes, Ning Shaoxing left expressionlessly.

Red lanterns can be seen everywhere, and the Shen Mansion is still feasting guests.

The girl walked through the crowd alone, thin and arrogant.

The ancestral hall of Shenfu, the laurel is like a flower.

Shen Changfeng and Lu Jinghuai hid not far away with Xie Jinci and quietly looked into the ancestral hall.

The wind blew, and the osmanthus rain fell all over the head.

Old Lady Jiang leaned over and whimpered painfully at Shen Heng's spiritual position, "Heng'er, today is Lingxi's big day, your daughter, she has grown up and got married...... Lingxi has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and she is a likable girl, and now she has found a lover, and it is not in vain that I pulled her to grow up. Heng'er, you must be very reluctant to be reluctant, right? Alas, how can I be willing, it is a girl who has grown up little by little under my nose......"

Xie Jinci, who was hiding not far away, had red circles in his eyes.

Lu Jinghuai was distressed when he saw it, took out the handkerchief and handed it to her.

Before he could hand it over, Shen Changfeng dragged Xie Jinci directly into his arms and wiped away her tears with his calloused fingers.

And Xie Jinci whimpered and lay in his arms, tears wetting his clothes.

The three of them didn't bother the old man, they walked through the corridor all the way through the courtyard, and walked to the Yanghe Courtyard with a tacit understanding.

Lu Jinghuai plucked up his courage and said, "What, Shen Changfeng, can you change me to comfort Xie Jinci next time?" ”

"Why?"

"I'll give you the silver, and you can make a price."

"Five thousand taels!"

Lu Jinghuai glared at him and gritted his teeth: "Done!" ”

Shen Changfeng chuckled, "I'm talking about gold." ”

"Hey, hey, Shen Changfeng!"

The two of them are noisy, and they have been like this for so many years.

Xie Jinci lagged behind, looking down at the bluestone slab bricks.

On the bricks, the shadows of the three people are very intimately connected.

They grew up together.

The girl suddenly wished that time could go a little slower, a little slower.

Lu Jinghuai turned his head, "Words, what are you doing slowly?" ”

"Nothing!"

The girl's eyes were like a crescent moon and her smile was like a peach blossom, which provoked Shen Changfeng to scold angrily, "Laughing like a stupid dog!" Don't laugh! ”

Laugh again, Lu Er's soul will be hooked away!

Bluestone slab bricks, Guiying swaying.

This year, Xie Jinci is still innocent.

Young girls don't know that the most unpredictable thing in the world is the change of people's hearts.

The most unstoppable thing in this world is the torrent of time.

The full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival next year is no longer the full moon of this autumn.
