"Grandmother." When Shi Qingqian arrived in front of the old grandmother's courtyard, he asked Shi Nian to put her down and entered the room with cheerful steps.

The old lady sitting on the upper seat leisurely sipping tea saw Shi Qingqian and immediately bent her eyes.

"Oh, it's you a ghost girl, come over here, let grandmother see, fat or thin?"

Shi Qingqian happily ran over and threw himself on the old lady's lap: "Grandmother, the eldest brother is back, I came with him." ”

As soon as the words fell, Shi Nian behind Shi Qingqian walked in from outside the door.

"Grandmother." Shi Nian bent over and saluted in front of his grandmother.

"Grandmother." Shi Shuning, who followed behind, walked up to the old lady, with a well-behaved arc at the corner of his mouth.

The old lady looked at the children, and her heart tightened with joy: "Okay, good, good children, sit down." ”

"Big brother, when you come back this time, you won't go out." The old lady looked at Shi Nian's thin but more upright figure, distressed and happy.

Shi Nian nodded: "The imperial examination will be held in half a year, and I plan to go to my sister's academy." ”

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and looked at Shi Nian with appreciation: "You are an assertive and thoughtful child, so you said that you would respect the holy book and go out to see the outside world, and we didn't stop us much. ”

After speaking, the old lady turned her head to look at Shi Qingqian beside her: "And this little girl, she can actually give Li Wanyuan the prime minister, our Hou Mansion is really terrifying." ”

Shi Nian heard her grandmother say Shi Qingqian, and the corners of her mouth also hooked a shallow arc: "My little sister has been smart since she was a child. ”

At this time, a girl walked in outside the door.

"Old lady, the second lady sent a maid and wants to invite the eldest brother back."

The old lady nodded, looked at Shi Nian and said: "Your mother sat in front of the window every day to wipe her tears when you were away, and now that you have just come back, you are also anxious to think about it, go back and catch up with your mother, just rest and rest, all the way around, it is time to wash away the ups and downs of that body." ”

"The grandson understands, and the grandson retires." Shi Nian saluted, and left the old lady's courtyard with the summoned maid.

Shi Nian left, and Shi Qingqian and Shi Shuning were left in the house.

"The day before yesterday, I heard that Sister Ning'er's picture of a hundred birds was embroidered." The old lady took the teacup and blew the impetuous tea leaves on the surface of the water.

Shi Shuning nodded and straightened up: "It was just framed yesterday, and I thought I would bring it over today for my grandmother to see, but the eldest brother came back suddenly, and Ning'er didn't have time to clean it up properly, if grandmother wants to see it now, Ning'er can let someone take it." ”

Saying that, Shi Shuning wanted to summon her girl, but the old lady interrupted her.

"No need." The old lady put the teacup in her hand on the table, and raised her eyes to look at Shi Shuning: "Sister Ning'er's craftsmanship, my old lady is also clear, you don't need to look at it, it's just embroidery every day, it will inevitably hurt your eyes, Sister Ning should come out and take a turn, your brother is a person who loves to read, if you are interested, you can go to his place." ”

When Shi Shu Ning heard this, the expression on his face stiffened, the trimmed delicate nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, and a trace of hideousness flashed on his slightly lowered face.

Everyone knew that she didn't like to study, and she hadn't said anything before, but now that Shi Qingqian took the shit and transported it into the academy, she began to compare them and point her fingers at her, right?

"Ning'er knows." The history book responded glutinously, and glanced at Shi Qingqian in front of him without a trace out of the corner of his eyes.

Shi Qingqian somehow shivered violently, and the old lady in front couldn't help but worry: "But it's cold?" ”

Shi Qingqian scratched his little head and glanced at Shi Shuning on the side: "No, grandmother, don't worry." ”

Coming out of the grandmother's courtyard, Shi Qingqian didn't bring a maid when he came out, so there were only Shi Shuning, her maid, and the three of himself on the road.

"Little sister is really amazing, grandmother, they have always doted on you, and now that they have entered the academy, they are even more happy with you, so that those of us who are sisters are ashamed of themselves." Shi Shuning smiled and looked at Shi Qingqian beside him.

Shi Qingqian cushioned her feet, to be honest, she didn't like this fifth sister too much, although she looked gentle and harmless, but somehow, she just didn't like it, when the two of them were together, she always had a feeling of chill on the back of her neck.

"The fifth sister said that the little sister is just a little lucky, and the grandmother's favor is the same for every junior."

Shi Qingqian, who couldn't stand this inexplicable depression, found a reason to prevaricate Shi Shuning, and ran away first.

Shi Shuning stood in place, coldly looking at the shallow and distant little figure, the hand hidden in the sleeve slowly loosened, leaving a blood hole in the shape of a crescent moon in the palm of his hand.

Shi Qingqian.

A maid ran over, I don't know what Shi Shuning said in his ear, Shi Shuning's face changed from disbelief to surprise, and then to anger, turned his head and looked at the direction Shi Qingqian left viciously, turned around and ran in the direction of his house.

In the room, the second lady was pulling Shi Nian to greet and complain, and the door was pushed open by Shi Shuning.

The second lady was taken aback, came back to her senses, turned her head to look at Shi Shuning and scolded with a straight face: "You are a daughter, what are you doing frizzy and flustered, what do you look like!" ”

Shi Shuning forgot that Shi Nian was called back by his mother, and now that he was also in the house, he knew that he was impulsive.

I could only stand in front of the door with red eyes, look at my mother frowning aggrievedly, and don't say anything, just stand like that without saying anything, where is there still the slightest momentum when I pushed the door open.

Seeing this, Shi Nian left and said goodbye to his reluctant mother.

After watching Shi Nian leave, Mrs. Erfang's face became even worse, and her eyes were full of disgust and disgust when she looked at Shi Shuning: "What are you going to do, drive your brother away, and you are satisfied?" ”

Shi Shuning looked at his mother's completely different attitude towards himself and his brother, and the grievances in his heart were even worse, and the hatred was even greater.

"Mother, I heard that the eldest uncle and eldest aunt plan to bring all the children of the Hou Mansion into the palace this longevity banquet."

The second lady straightened her clothes, turned around and sat on the chair: "So what, you don't go." ”

"Who said I won't go, I ......" Shi Shu Ning hurriedly said when he heard this, but was interrupted by the eldest lady without hesitation when he was halfway through.

"I said you wouldn't go, you just wouldn't go!" The second lady looked at Shi Shuning and said word by word.

The grievances and resentments in Shi Shuning's heart broke out in an instant: "How can you be so unreasonable, you are reluctant to let your brother leave your eyes, you can let your brother not go, but why did you reject me together, you have not liked me since you were a child, I am also your child, why are you so partial?" ”

Tears flowed down her cheeks as she spoke, and Pear Blossom looked at her unmoved mother who was sitting with rain, turned around and rushed out of the room without looking back.

The second room was not lightly angry, and stood up suddenly, but looked at the door that was smashed, and said nothing with the corners of his mouth tightened.
