In the garden of the General's Mansion, orchids are planted slowly in the flower beds, and the delicate flowers compete with each other, one by one on the small branches, and are folded into different shapes by the skillful florist.

A five-year-old girl sat at a dresser, and the maids on either side were engrossed in combing her long black hair. The girl's curved and long eyelashes fluttered to the ground, and those big eyes were even more moving. The small nose is delicate and cute, and the small cherry red lips have two shallow pear vortices on either side. The girl raised her mouth and chuckled, and the pear vortex was like two drops of water suddenly falling into a calm lake, inadvertently causing ripples, which made people unconsciously dazzle.

"Miss." The servant girl Luyi held the coiled hairstyle with her hand, looked at the delicate girl in front of her, picked up a bellflower hairpin and handed it to her, and asked in a low voice: "Which hairpin do you want to use, do you want to use the hairpin that this lady just sent?" As he spoke, he picked up another hairpin, "Or use the silver bell hairpin that Mrs. gave yesterday?" ”

The girl looked at the two hairpins in front of her with a smile on her face, her small round eyes rolled back and forth, her brows furrowed slightly, and asked, "I like both, why don't I use both?" After speaking, he shook his head again, as if he had made a very difficult decision: "Otherwise, I don't want this silver bell hairpin, if Yafei sees it, I will be angry again." ”

"Miss is still kind, the second miss has treated you like this, and you still take care of her." Luyi's tone was slightly complaining.

"Sister Green, and relax." The girl patted the back of Green's hand with her hand and soothed, "I just don't want to quarrel with her on my birthday, it's not good after all." But that doesn't mean I'm giving in to her. My father and sister are thinking about me, and I'm not afraid of her, I just don't want to make it difficult for my father and mother at this time. ”

"Miss!" Lu Yi's voice choked, looking at the girl's immature face distressedly, feeling sorry for her so young but so sensible, her own young lady is only half a year younger than the second young lady, so under the fence, but she has to be strong and mature. Fortunately, God favors her, and everyone in this family loves her, otherwise they don't know what kind of life the young lady will live.

"Sister, can my beautiful sister be dressed up?" A little pink girl walked in from outside the door, and saw Lin Yunxin dressed in hardcover, full of joy, her eyes wandered from top to bottom, and she nodded with satisfaction, "My sister is handsome, and this appearance is to compare my sister to life!" ”

"Big sister!" Lin Yunxin was embarrassed by the eldest sister's ridicule, her cheeks were red, like a peach that had just been picked from the tree, pink and tender, and people couldn't help but want to take a bite.

Shen Yaru couldn't help but pounce on Lin Yunxin's cheeks, the two little girls rubbed each other's faces, and just when they were playing, Shen Yaru's elbow inadvertently hit the jewelry box. The silver bell hairpin was knocked down on the edge of the jewelry box, and the crisp sound of "jingle bell~" filled the whole room.

At this time, Shen Yaru found that Lin Yunxin only had a simple hairpin on her head, and asked curiously: "Why does my sister only have a hairpin?" Today is my sister's big day of the year, but you have to dress up beautifully, and you want to dominate the audience, you are today's birthday star, the biggest horn! As he spoke, he picked up the silver bell hairpin on the table and handed it to Luyi, "Sister Luyi, hurry up and help my sister put on the hairpin, you can't rely on her temperament today." ”

Lu Yi happily took the hairpin and was about to go into Lin Yunxin's hairpin.

"Sister, this is not appropriate." Lin Yunxin twisted her head to the side, avoiding the green movement.

"What's wrong with this," Shen Yaru said, "This hairpin was given to you by my mother two days ago, and this hairpin was obtained by my grandmother from the bidding of the Bag Heavens, and the things of the Bag Buildings are the most precious and rare." It's best to wear it on your birthday. ”

"But..." Lin Yunxin's face was embarrassed.

"But what?" Shen Yaru looked at her anxiously and stopped, and couldn't help but get anxious.

"Isn't that because I'm afraid of the second miss?" Lu Yi looked at the young lady and couldn't bear to tell the truth, regardless of her master's prevention, she told the situation without authorization, "Who in our entire Shen Mansion doesn't know that these two young ladies have taken a fancy to this silver bell hairpin for a long time, and they have begged Mrs. many times, but Mrs. has not agreed to give it to her." Now Mrs. gave us the hairpin, and the second lady didn't like our miss anymore, and she always liked to bully our young lady on weekdays. Yesterday, she scolded Miss because she was wearing the same color clothes as her, and almost pushed Miss to the ground, if the eldest prince hadn't stopped her in time, Miss would probably have to lie in bed. Besides, if she knew about it, she didn't know what she was going to do to Miss! ”

"I'm afraid of what she will do, this time my father and mother are here, as well as me and my brothers, we will all be on your side. Does she dare to make a mistake in front of her father? Shen Yaru heard Shen Yafei's vulgar behavior of not being able to get on the stage, her brows furrowed, and her face showed a look of disgust. Indignantly, "She was spoiled before, and her father and mother were already dissatisfied with her behavior, and they wanted to ask a grandmother to discipline her." After speaking, he put the silver bell hairpin on Lin Yunxin's bun, and then said: "I think she dares to be presumptuous today, if she still eats the ancients, her father and mother will clean her up." ”

Lin Yunxin lowered her head and was silent, she knew that it was best to have her father and mother send Shen Yafei, but after all, she was her father's biological daughter, and if she sent Shen Yafei's father and mother, she would be sad. However, if she didn't deal with Shen Yafei, her life in the Shen family would not be easy, and she usually didn't care about Shen Yafei for the sake of her father, but if Shen Yafei died by herself, it would be no wonder to her.

The autumn breeze squeezed in from the windowsill, the silver bells swayed with the breeze, and the pleasant sound sounded again. Midori smiled with satisfaction.

When General Shen was young, he was a general who fought in all directions, and he was in charge of millions of elite soldiers. General Shen's father, Shen Guohou, is a general in all directions of the country, and now Shen Guohou has retired to the background, and his son inherits his father's business. Many famous families in Beijing want to be able to catch up with Shen Mansion. Therefore, many guests attending the banquet came to the Shen Mansion early.

General Shen was entertaining the old men and young masters of various provinces in the main hall, talking about poetry and songs, talking about scientific research articles, and talking about outstanding young students. And Mrs. Shen led the ladies and ladies of each province to the side hall separated by a curtain screen in the main hall. The conversation between the lady and the young lady was much more interesting than that of the old men. Poetry and songs, female red, clothes and jewelry, and rouge are the chatting pleasures of the ladies. Which family has a handsome little Langjun, a beautiful lady to be married, their children's academic aspirations, which family's way of getting along with beautiful couples, etc., the conversation between the ladies is the story of the whole capital. If you are new to Beijing and want to know about the capital, you don't need to inquire many times, as long as you sit in this side hall for an hour, you can get a general understanding of the big and small things in Beijing.

Time was embedded in the trajectory of the sun in the midst of talking and laughing, and it quietly slipped diagonally upward, and it was already five o'clock. Mama Lan, the most trusted old mother beside Mrs. Shen, walked in and whispered in Mrs. Shen's ear: "Miss, the hour is almost up." It's time for the third lady to come out. ”

"Then you go and bring Xin'er out." Mrs. Shen said softly.

Mama Lan took the order and went out.

After Mama Lan went out, Mrs. Shen hired someone to remove the screen and merge the main hall and the side hall into one.

A quarter of an hour later, a melodious chime, with the swaying little figure, came from outside, and the autumn sun shone on the girl's delicate face from outside. Just like a budding magnolia flower, the melodious ringtone is like the fragrant fragrance of the stamen. What a delicate and beautiful child.

Mrs. Shen looked at the lovely person in front of her, full of joy, "Xin'er, come to my mother's side quickly." Before he finished speaking, he pulled Lin Yunxin to sit beside him. couldn't help but look at Lin Yunxin's well-dressed appearance, which also made her a little amazed.

Everyone is a person with a clear heart, and when they saw that Mrs. Shen attached so much importance to this adopted daughter with a foreign surname, they all knew it in their hearts. They praised this beautiful little girl.

"Congratulations to Mrs. Shen, the third lady is really beautiful!"

"The third lady is really smart."

"Yes, yes, at first glance, Miss San is a blessed child who can meet a good family like General Shen."

"The third lady looks so good at such a young age, and when she grows up, I am afraid that the threshold of the Shen family will be broken."

"That's right, and the eldest lady and the second lady are also the best among the best-looking. I'm afraid that in a few years, this good son in Beijing will be included by the Shen family! ”

······

Everyone loves to listen to praise, and Mrs. Shen is happy when she listens to these beautiful words. hurriedly said: "Where, it's just a child, everyone is loved." ”

Shen Yafei looked at the joy of the hall outside the door, and always felt out of place with herself. The brightness on her mother's face and the pride in her eyes were clear at a glance, Shen Yafei felt a little in a trance, how long had she not treated herself with such a smiling face, it had been too long, she had to think that her mother was a person who didn't like to laugh. However, today must be the same as in the previous life, so that he can survive this open and secret battle. Although she has nothing to miss in this world, and there is nothing to worry about, it is better to be alive than to die. I have never tried the happiness of life in my previous life, and God let me live again, I must want to let myself live well this time and live for myself. The Shen family has nothing to do with them from now on, whether it is parents or brothers and sisters, the love that they have not enjoyed in their previous lives will not be rare in this life. This time, live for yourself, even if you don't love yourself, then love yourself. Shen Yafei From now on, you will be the person I love the most in this life, let me protect you well in this life. Shen Yafei raised her face and faced the autumn sun.

It's so warm!
