Chapter Ninety-Nine: Heartache is hard to give
Shen Yan was in an unhappy mood, and the whole person became a lot duller, she didn't want to say anything, she just wanted to stay quietly alone. After resting on the bed for a while, he fell asleep in a daze. It wasn't until dinner time that Dongmei came in to wake her up.
You Yu opened his eyes and found that the lights had been lit in the room at some point.
Shen Yan asked faintly, "Dongmei, when is it?" ”
Seeing that Shen Yan was about to sit up, Dongmei hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and replied softly, "Miss, it's almost three o'clock." ”
Shen Yan had just woken up, her brain was still a little muddy, and she couldn't help but reach out and rub her forehead.
Dongmei said: "Miss, just now Mrs. Gu sent someone here, saying that if you are not feeling well, you can eat in our house, and you don't have to go to the dining room." ”
Shen Yan paused, hurriedly looked up at Dongmei, and asked, "Have you started to set up food in the dining room?" ”
Dongmei nodded, raised her chin outward, and said, "The little maid sent by Mrs. Gu to pass the word just now has just left, and Xu has just started to set the meal." If the young lady wants to go, she can catch up and won't be rude. ”
Dongmei is Shen Yan's personal maid, after so many years of watching, where do you not know what Shen Yan is thinking? It is fake to come to Hao Mansion to play, but it is true to be close to Hao Ling.
She is the closest person to Shen Yan, and she is also the person who understands Shen Yan's thoughts the most, watching that the young lady has put the young master in her heart for so many years, and she wants to marry the young master with all her heart, and she ignores the courtship of others, and slowly drags her age older, she can't bear it when she looks at it, and she is not worth it for the young lady.
Sometimes I really want to persuade Miss that the twisted melon is not sweet, but every time the words come to her mouth, she swallows it raw.
She has seen with her own eyes what Miss has done, if she can really persuade her, how can she delay it until today? Besides, she is just a little servant girl, and she can say this kind of thing once, but she can't say it twice.
I still remember that she finally couldn't stand it last time, and she reluctantly persuaded Miss once, but she didn't expect Miss to be a great fire, and almost punished her for her mouthfulness regardless of the relationship between master and servant for so many years.
Since then, she has learned that the young master has become the death hole of the young lady, and others can't easily click it.
Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and motioned to Dongmei to change her clothes and makeup, so that she could hurry to the dining room to eat.
Hao's lunch was eaten in his own yard, but dinner was eaten together as much as possible. Therefore, if there is no accident, Hao Ling should also appear at today's dinner table.
I hadn't seen Hao Ling all day today, and I was hit by the Ding Page incident, Shen Yan wanted to see Hao Ling very much at the moment, and I desperately hoped to get that negative answer from his mouth in person.
She has been waiting for him wholeheartedly for so many years, if he marries a wife, he should marry her, how can he marry someone else?
Looking at the cloud sideburns in the bronze mirror, Shen Yan subconsciously touched the soft skin on her cheeks, which was as delicate as a delicate flower and as white as jade, but she was extremely aggrieved in her heart.
She has been beautiful since she was a child, and people who have praised her beauty from childhood to adulthood can row up from the south of the city to the north of the city. If it weren't for her aunt's bent desire for her to marry Hao Ling, if it weren't for the deep-rooted love she had when she first saw Hao Ling, if it weren't for her father and mother who also indulged her waiting, she wouldn't have been dragged until she was seventeen years old, and she was still waiting to be married, and I don't know how many people laughed at her behind her back.
With her appearance and the status of the Shen family, since she was fourteen years old, the people who went to the Shen family to propose relatives had already broken several thresholds in the Shen Mansion. But Master Hao just didn't agree to this marriage, although he acquiesced, he never really decided to come in.
There is no marriage, that is, no one wants it, and no one will admit her relationship with Hao Ling. Even if the Shen Mansion and the Hao Mansion are closer, even if the aunt and father want her to be married to Hao Ling, it will be useless! Others will still say that she has a high vision, and her father and mother are ambitious, and they want to marry her to a high-ranking official, so they delay her marriage again and again.
Now, the women who were not as good as her have already become their own children, but she is still hiding in the boudoir to embroider wedding dresses, but she doesn't know who she is wearing them for.
"Dongmei, do you think I'm beautiful?" Shen Yan asked faintly, her tone implying grievance.
Dongmei looked at the beautiful woman reflected in the bronze mirror, with apricot eyes, cherry blossoms, lips, white muscles, and white snow, as if jade was the bone, how could such a woman not be beautiful?
She knew that Miss didn't want to ask herself if she was beautiful, she actually wanted to ask, why so many people said she was beautiful, so many people rushed to Shen Mansion to propose marriage, but Hao Ling never let go and said that she wanted to marry her, could it be that she Shen Yan was not worthy of him Hao Ling?
The corners of Dongmei's mouth raised slightly, and she chuckled in a highly positive tone and said: "Of course Miss is beautiful, in this Taihe County, I'm afraid that no woman's appearance can beat Miss!" ”
"Really?" Shen Yan raised her eyes slightly and looked at Dongmei from the mirror.
Dongmei nodded with a smile.
Shen Yan sighed softly, stretched out her hand and flicked it in the makeup on the dressing table, picked out a carved peony hairpin made of mutton fat and white jade, handed it to Dongmei, and said softly: "Use this hairpin today." ”
Dongmei's eyes were red, and she hurriedly took the hosta, lowered her head and carefully helped Shen Yan plug it in.
She didn't know that this hairpin was still chosen by Miss Cousin two years ago when she was accompanied by Young Master Cousin. Because the money was paid by the young master, it can be regarded as the only gift from the young master to the young lady.
"Miss, it's not too early, let's hurry to the front hall." Dongmei whispered.
Shen Yan looked at herself in the mirror again, and made sure that there was nothing missing, so she got up and walked to the front hall.
When she walked to the door of the dining room, it happened that Hao Lingwei accompanied Aunt Shen and came over, so she squatted slightly, saluted Aunt Shen, and called her aunt.
Aunt Shen looked at the delicate niece in front of her, her heart was tight, she held her hand, and praised: "Yan'er is becoming more and more beautiful now." ”
Shen Yan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said shyly: "Yan'er is no longer a child, so my aunt won't say those obedient words to coax Yan'er." ”
The aunt and nephew gossiped into the front hall.
Hao Lingzhu came earlier than them, and when she saw Aunt Shen coming in, she sat still and only called Aunt Shen lightly.
Aunt Shen is now accustomed to Hao Lingzhu's appearance, although she is annoyed that Hao Lingzhu doesn't know how to treat her as a housewife, but helplessly Hao Lingzhu is the daughter of Hao's mansion, and she has not been carried, she is still an aunt, Hao Lingzhu doesn't want her to salute, it's good.
Aunt Shen's face stiffened slightly, and she quickly returned to normal, inadvertently let go of Shen Yan's hand, sat down on the left side of the main seat with her head held high, and also glanced at Hao Lingzhu lightly, and said, "The eldest lady came quite early today." ”
Hao Lingzhu politely threw a light smile at Shen Yan, and replied lightly: "It's okay today, I'm in a happy mood, I came early." ”
Aunt Shen's face stiffened again, gritted her teeth, and suppressed her anger.
Even if she has long been dissatisfied with Hao Lingzhu, now is not the time to vent. Although Mrs. Hao died early, Master Hao has never forgotten his wife, and has always cared about Hao Ling and Hao Lingzhu, and has never neglected to ask because she is taking care of the backyard.
Hum...... Let's make you proud for a few more days, and when you talk about getting married, some of you will feel better! I will marry you to an incompetent shabby, and let you sweep the floor and laundry and be a slave for the rest of your life! Look at you're still getting up!
Although the possibility of Master Hao agreeing to this kind of marriage is almost zero, Aunt Shen is still in a much happier mood after thinking about it like this.
Shen Yan didn't understand the joints, although she felt that Hao Lingzhu didn't like Aunt Shen very much, but she didn't have any hostility, and Hao Lingzhu would smile faintly every time she saw her, and she regarded it as a greeting, so she didn't have any disgust towards Hao Lingzhu, but felt that this sister-in-law was not bad.
Moreover, Hao Ling loves Hao Lingzhu, of course, and the relationship between the brother and sister is very good. Therefore, in order to let Hao Lingzhu help her say a few good words in front of Hao Ling, Shen Yan also deliberately tried to get close to Hao Lingzhu and please her in every way.
It's just that maybe because she didn't have a mother since she was a child, Hao Lingzhu's temperament is a little cold and she doesn't like to be close to people, so although she has done so many good things, her relationship with Hao Lingzhu is still light, and it can only be regarded as a nodding friend.
Seeing Hao Lingzhu smiling at her and nodding, Shen Yan only smiled back lightly, and then sat down beside Hao Lingwei.
A moment later, Hao Yu also strode forward and sat down beside Aunt Shen.
After a while, Master Hao and Hao Lingcai entered together.
The moment Hao Ling appeared at the door, Shen Yan's gaze was instantly intimidated by the majestic and calm figure, and she looked obsessively at the person who made her think about it. How much he wished he could see her, even if it was just a faint smile, and let her know that he had not never seen her in his eyes.
But no, nothing!
It was as if there had never been anyone else in this room, as if there were all people in this room who had nothing to do with him, and he didn't even glance at it, and walked straight to his place.
Shen Yan's heart was sour, as if she was being kneaded vigorously in her hand, it was so sore and painful, but she couldn't speak.
Hao Lingwei looked at the person next to her firmly, and sure enough, she saw a complaining nymphomaniac. She is still young and doesn't know love, so she doesn't understand Shen Yan's reaction. Although her mother really wanted Sister Yan'er to marry her eldest brother, the eldest brother never agreed, but Sister Yan'er didn't always need to be a resentful woman, right? If you can marry, you will marry, and if you can't marry, you will be pulled down! Sister Yan'er is so beautiful, there are more men who want to marry her, if the eldest brother insists on not agreeing to this marriage, it will be his own blindness. Don't let go of a good fairy, you have to pull a cheap woman who sells tofu to live, isn't this a brain kicked by a donkey, what is it?
