Dinner
"Who are you?" Yan Jin lay on the bed, struggling to open his eyes, trying to see the person standing in front of his bed.
Gong Shushu sat down accompanied by the Yan family, took out the medicine box he carried with him, looked at him and said, "Ah Huai asked me to come."
Yan Jin suddenly woke up, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he propped up the bed and sat up, "Ah Huai! Where's Huai?"
The Yan family who accompanied him were all shocked by his sudden outburst.
Gong Shushu was also stunned, and raised his hand to hold it down, "Ah Huai, she didn't come." ”
Yan Jin's body froze, and it took a long time before he let out an "oh", and the strength up and down his body seemed to be suddenly taken away. Slowly lie back on the couch.
In the end, he was stunned, how could a person like Ah Huai, who had already made a marriage, come to the house to see him at will.
Gong Shushu asked him about his symptoms and went down to prescribe medicine.
Before leaving, Yan Jin stopped her.
"Girl, stay."
Gong Shushu looked back at him puzzled.
But I heard Yan Jin say: "Girl, can you help me bring a message to Ah ...... Miss Shen? ”
Gong Shu Shu shook his head.
"Miss, Shu Shu wrote you a note, saying that Yan Gongzi asked her to give it to Miss You." Shu'er trotted over to Shen Huai, holding a note in her hand.
Shen Huai lowered his eyes and took it.
The note was soaked in the bitterness of Chinese medicine, and there was only one short sentence on it: Ah Huai, if he is responsible for you, he will write to me.
Shen Huai looked at the note fixedly and didn't speak for a long time.
Yan Jin's feelings, she can't accept it, and she doesn't dare to accept it.
His family has been an official for generations, has a prominent background, and is a concubine in the family, born with a golden spoon, and the future must be a bright future and a thousand miles away. Why should she ruin her great future because of such a person.
"Miss?" Shu'er called out unintelligibly.
Shen Huai suddenly came back to his senses, drove his wheelchair towards the brazier, and threw the note in his hand into the basin. Let the tongues of fire devour them until they are reduced to ashes.
In the next few days, Shen Huai heard that Yan Jin's condition was gradually improving, and she stopped paying attention.
Such a beautiful person is destined to have no chance with her.
When Qi Rin came, he obviously felt that Shen Huai's interest was not high, and he was a little depressed.
He couldn't help but think of the things that Mo Yun had taught him early this morning.
If the girl is unhappy, you can give her some rouge gouache and hairpin ring jewelry to make her happy.
After thinking about it, Qi Rin turned around and called Bu Shao and asked her to go to the warehouse and pick out a few pieces of exquisite jewelry.
At dinner, a simple mahogany box appeared on Qi Rin's right hand side.
Shen Huai looked at it out of curiosity.
But she didn't want Qi Rin to push the box directly in front of her next.
Shen Huai looked at Qi Rin in confusion.
Qi Rin motioned for her to open it and take a look.
Shen Huai opened it as she said, and the instantaneous brilliance of gold and silver almost blinded her eyes.
Gems the size of pigeon's eggs lay in the center of the box, surrounded by a pile of gold and silver jewelry.
Shen Huai avoided closing it.
But Qi Rin still asked expectantly, "Do you like it?" ”
Shen Huai replied with difficulty: "I like it." ”
Qi Rin was obviously pleased by Shen Huai's words, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.
"Tomorrow is the banquet in the palace, and later Bu Shao will bring you the clothes and ornaments you will wear tomorrow night. At that time, you can try it out and pick the one you like. ”
When Qi Rin said this, Shen Huai was drinking the soup with his head down, and he didn't pay attention to listening, but just nodded kindly.
This also caused Shen Huai to be stunned when he faced the pile of gorgeous clothes and jewelry at night.
"Miss, this is only part of it, and there is still some I haven't picked up yet." Bu Shao held a few clothes in his arms and placed them in front of Shen Huai one by one.
Since then, Shen Huai has tried on no less than five clothes. Not to mention the intricate trinkets piled up in the corners.
Shen Huai held his forehead with a little headache, picked up a white brocade dress on the table at random, and said to Bu Shao: "Don't try again, just this one." ”
Bu Shao retracted his steps with some regret.
The young lady is already good-looking, and if she dresses up a little, she is even more beautiful, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.
However, Miss She doesn't like to dress up, and she only combs some simple buns on weekdays.
"Then the young lady wants to see the ornaments that the prince ordered someone to collect?" As he spoke, Bu Shao opened a small brocade box in the corner, which contained a bunch of small and delicate pearl earrings, and a string of millet beads underneath.
Shen Huai's eyes flashed when he saw the pair of earrings.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Huai selected a few hairpin rings under the persuasion of Bu Shao to be used for the banquet tomorrow night.
From clothes to accessories, it wasn't until Shen Huai had selected all the items that Bu Shao left with the pile of things contentedly.
On the second day, Shen Huai was dug out of the quilt by Shu'er early and began to bathe and change clothes.
During this period, Shen Huai just lazily lifted his eyes, glanced at Shu'er, and continued to close his eyes and let others tease him.
Qi Rin came near evening.
At that time, Shen Huai was wearing a white dress and sitting in front of the dresser dignifiedly.
Behind her, an elderly grandmother was standing with her hands flying and grooming her hair.
One after another, the hairpin rings were fixed on Shen Huai's bun, and a bundle of tassels hung down Shen Huai's cheeks, softening her face and adding a sense of pity to me for no reason.
The crimson lipstick lip, Bu Shao even swept the moth eyebrows for it, and drew two curved willow eyebrows.
Shen Huai looked at the woman with a beautiful appearance in the mirror and raised his eyebrows.
It's been a long time since she's dressed up like this.
When Qi Rin saw Shen Huai, he was naturally fascinated.
He handed a small burden to Shen Huai, and instructed one or two by the way, "I'm afraid that the food at the banquet will not suit your appetite, these are specially prepared pastries for you, you can use some first." ”
Shen Huai took the small burden and put it in his hand, only to feel heavy and frightening.
Qi Rin was afraid that she would starve to death, so he prepared this bulging bag of pastries and snacks for her?
Sitting in the carriage heading to the palace, Shen Huai comfortably ate a small piece of dim sum and flipped through a miscellaneous book. From time to time, I lifted the sedan curtain and looked out, breathing.
Qi Rin sat next to her, serving Shen Huai with tea and water.
Along the way, Shen Huai saw many familiar people through the sedan curtain, such as: Xu family, Yan family and Shen family.
Since Shen Huai left, the Shen family's momentum has become increasingly sluggish, coupled with the scandalous incident that Shen Wenyan caused not long ago, the Shen family is even more shameless to raise their heads in front of the dignitaries and nobles in the capital.
Seeing the carriages representing the Shen family passing in front of Shen Huai, Shen Huai lowered the sedan curtain.
