Twenty-one years of glory.

Spring is the most beautiful and mild season in Huancheng, wildflowers bloom all over the field, and the branches of the trees show tender green shoots, a thriving new look.

In the small courtyard on the hill, a girl in a pure dark purple cloth dress was lying on a hanging chair in the courtyard with her feet hanging on the ground casually, her hair was pressed into shape, she half-squinted her eyes and yawned deeply. The girl's skin is white and tender, and her delicate and straight little nose makes the slightly immature goose egg face more pretty and cute, and the long and curved eyelashes flutter and flutter slyly inciting, covering up the cunning in the girl's eyes, which only makes people feel that they are so well-behaved that people pity them.

This girl is Shen Yafei, who was sent here by General Shen a year ago. Shen Yafei is sixteen years old and is already a big girl. There are still more than two months to go to the ceremony. A few years ago, Shen Fu handed a letter asking Shen Yafei to return to Beijing, but because Shen Yafei was sick, she had to postpone going back after the year.

Zhiyu looked at the people lying lazily on the hanging chair, and looked up at the sky helplessly, out of sight.

Zhiyan put a mink fur cloak on Shen Yafei's body expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Miss should pay attention to her body and be careful of catching a cold." ”

Shen Yafei grabbed the cloak with her small hand, raised her big watery eyes, and said shyly, "Thank you." Words are best for me. ”

Zhiyan tugged at the corners of his mouth stiffly and stood aside silently.

"Miss~" Dayin pouted and ran to Shen Yafei aggrievedly, saying, "Why only let Zhiyu and Dabao go back to Shen Mansion with you, I will go too." Miss~, don't you like Big Silver anymore. Woo~"

Shen Yafei gave her a roll of her eyes without hesitation, and said, "Then the people in the capital think that I am extremely rude, arrogant and ignorant, and they are all waiting to see me laugh." If everyone thinks so, then the people around me naturally can't be virtuous and polite, and naturally they will be a little unable to get on the stage. ”

Dabao and Zhiyu looked at Shen Yafei with dissatisfaction after hearing this, and Shen Yafei hurriedly added: "Of course, I'm not saying that Zhiyu and Dabao can't get on the stage, but that the two of them have some unique skills that can surprise the people of the capital." Besides, if I'm uncomfortable, Dabao can walk with me in his arms, can you do it? Among the four of you, Zhiyu has the best medical skills, and my body still needs to be recuperated, so Zhiyu is the most suitable for me.

And you're also important out there, and I have more important things to hand over to you. What about you, you are too virtuous and gentle on the surface, but you love to bring some snakes, insects, rats and ants with you too much, what if you accidentally bring them out to scare others? Besides, in the capital, it is not like other places outside that can be solved by force, or by a little trick, the most useful thing in the capital is identity and power, and you young lady and I have no rights in the Shen Mansion.

I'm in the capital itself, and if you cause something, it's not that I don't have the ability to save you. When I get rid of my Shen Mansion in the Shen Mansion, I will naturally keep you all by my side, so you two have to help me arrange everything outside, and also help me find out some news. ”

"Hmm. I know. Big Silver lowered his head in frustration.

"Miss, we'll take care of everything outside." I said earlier.

Shen Yafei nodded with satisfaction and said, "I believe in you." ”

Shen Yafei put one foot on the back of the hanging chair, and the other foot fell on the armrest on the side. Zhiyu sighed, walked over, and said solemnly: "Miss, after entering Beijing, it would be better for you to change your behavior." ”

"This mountain woman should have the appearance of a mountain woman, if you raise a well-informed lady in the countryside, wouldn't it make many people sad. Actually, most people are still happy to see me like this. You're just too nervous. When they sent me here, they didn't ask me to raise my grandmother, and even the literate gentleman never helped me invite them, so where did I learn the etiquette of those beautiful women. If I were really dignified and polite, wouldn't it be suspicious? Then I will not be exiled, but will go to further study. ”

"This ······" It seems to be such a truth, and Zhiyu is powerless to refute it.

Shen Yafei said: "Don't think about it, anyway, when you get to the capital, you can shake out any unique skills, of course, you can't let people find out what is wrong, understand?" ”

Zhiyu and Dabao replied in unison: "Yes!" ”

Dayin and Zhiyan had already set off first, so on the third day, Master Meng Zhuang took people up to Anshan, and only saw Zhiyu and Dayin beside Shen Yafei.

Master Meng Zhuang was a little surprised when he saw it, and he visited the house a few times, but he didn't see the figure of Mama Li and the others, and his heart was full of questions, but it was not easy to say.

Shen Yafei saw Master Meng Zhuang standing in the courtyard looking up, so she asked, "What is Master Meng Zhuang looking for?" ”

Master Meng Zhuang turned around and stammered, "No, no, it's nothing." Did you bring all the things with you? ”

Shen Yafei stepped onto the sedan chair and nodded: "Take it all with you, you can go." Sheng Gu has the owner of Lao Meng Zhuang to deliver a message. ”

Master Meng Zhuang looked at the big and small figures behind the sedan chair, wiped a cold sweat, lifted his trouser legs and stepped forward.

This time, the Shen family did not let anyone pick up Shen Yafei, but just asked Master Meng Zhuang and Sheng Gu to assign a few trustworthy people to send her back to Beijing. Zhiyu and Dabao looked a little uncomfortable, but Shen Yafei didn't care. In this life, in Shen Yafei's heart, the Shen family is not an important thing to her, it is just her birth point, and she will no longer care about the people there as much as in her previous life. It doesn't matter, it doesn't care.

Shen Mansion

In the morning, at the dinner table, a family of six was happy and laughing. Mrs. Shen wanted to speak several times and stopped.

General Shen couldn't help but preemptively say, "Master Meng Zhuang sent someone to deliver a letter, and they will arrive in the capital in a month." ”

The voice fell, there was silence at the dinner table, and everyone stopped what they were doing.

Lin Wanxin bit her lip and lowered her head.

"What is she doing when she comes back?" Shen Mingshan, the second son of Shen, said.

Mrs. Shen, you sink your face and reprimand: "Brother Ming, don't talk nonsense, she is your sister." ”

Shen Mingshan muttered: "Who wants her to be my sister." ”

Shen Yuanshan shouted: "Brother Ming! ”

Shen Mingshan lowered his head and said weakly: "Originally, our family of six is living well, why do you want to call her back." When she used to be there, we would have a very unpleasant fight. She hasn't been here for ten years, we've always been happy, and when we hear that she's coming back, everyone is very worried. Xin'er hasn't slept well in the past few days. We don't want her back, do we? ”

Mrs. Shen said: "No matter how you say it, she is your sister, the second lady of our Shen family. In the past, she was young and made mistakes, and she was sent to Huancheng to let her reflect on it. Now that she has grown up, she is about to get married, and she will definitely come back. ”

Shen Mingshan said: "Then why don't you let her marry in Huancheng." ”

General Shen slapped his chopsticks on the table with a snap and said loudly, "Do you want to eat, go out if you don't eat." Then he turned to Mrs. Shen and said, "You ask people to tidy up the Summer Palace, and then send back all the people before the Summer Palace, and let her live there when she comes back." ”

After speaking, General Shen took a few mouthfuls of rice, put down the bowl, and said to the two brothers of the Shen family: "When you are full, go to morning exercise." You must go to the martial arts training ground within half an hour. ”

The two brothers of the Shen family hurriedly stuffed a few mouthfuls of rice into their mouths, and before they could swallow it, they stepped in and out of the dining room and hurriedly followed General Shen.

The remaining three people in the dining room also looked dazed and lost their appetite.

The journey was also smooth, Shen Yafei slept every day except drinking, and she didn't show her face if she didn't come out, and it was so quiet that people couldn't touch it.

The carriage arrived outside the gate of the capital, and the steward Ma had already brought someone there to receive him.

"The little one is Ma Heng, the housekeeper of the Shen Mansion, please say hello to the second lady! The little one came to pick up the second lady back at the order of General Shen. The steward saluted the carriage with the crowd, and knelt respectfully after speaking, but received no response.

Zhiyu poked Shen Yafei who died on the side with his finger, but did not get a reaction, he glanced at Dabao helplessly, and shook Shen Yafei vigorously.

Shen Yafei was woken up from her dream, glared at Yu and Bao very unhappily, and said loudly: "What are you doing!" ”

The uncontrollable loud voice unexpectedly startled the steward and the subordinates, and the two young ladies were indeed as rude as rumored.

In addition, Hua Xu, the prince of the Liwang Mansion, and his friends, who had just returned from a friend outing, were shocked, and Xu Shizi looked at the carriage in front of him with disgust.

"It's really uneducated. I heard that the second miss of the Shen family is going home, and it is the second miss who looks at the carriage. It's really a rough country man. Chen Dinghou's youngest son, Chen You, said loudly without any scruples.

"But I heard that the second miss of the Shen family went to the Huancheng family temple ten years ago to pray for the elders of the family and worship the Buddha." A young man next to him said.

Another young man accosted: "It is said to pray for blessings, but who doesn't know that in this capital, only the children of the family who have made mistakes will be sent out to the family temple, and the blessing is just for the sake of good face." ”

Shen Yafei slowly woke up after listening to the discussion outside, only to realize that she was in the capital.

Zhiyu and Dabao looked at Shen Yafei's eyes that slowly became clear, and their tense hearts relaxed, and they called softly: "Miss." ”

Seeing Shen Yafei nodding, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Hearing Chen Gongzi's discussion, Steward Ma couldn't help frowning, calmed down, and stepped forward again and said respectfully: "Second Miss, the old lady is already waiting at home, can I leave for home now?" ”

Shen Yafei raised her hand, comprehended the words, opened the curtain and said to Steward Ma, "Let's go." ”
