It's just autumn, Jinling has become cooler, Shen Qiangrose woke up early in the morning, she has been well ill these days, and even her complexion and spirit are much better.

The housekeeper Lin Bo was satisfied, the separation matters were handled properly, and the money was given separately as usual, and the second and third aunts did not complain, Shen Qiangrose was worried and didn't have the heart to think about it, but this matter was finally over, and the illness would get better sooner.

After the embezzlement of public funds, all the property of the Shen family was frozen, and Shen Qiangrose had her own account, which was opened by Su Huiyi in her own name in the past, with a sum of 100,000 yuan. She was not short of money earlier, so she put aside the private printing fold. After the accident of the Shen family, a lot of urgent needs were solved.

Yunqing accompanied Shen Qiangrose to take a walk in the garden outside the western-style building, and when she went out of the back door, there was a large lawn, which was neatly trimmed, the sky was bright blue, and the morning breeze was slightly cool, but because of the aroma in the air, it was refreshing.

When I went back, I saw Han Wan'er already waiting in the room, she was sitting on the recliner on the balcony, and when she saw her, she got up to greet her, and asked with a smile: "Cousin, how are you feeling today?" ”

Shen Qiang Rose chuckled lightly and said, "It's good, and thank you for the medicine." ”

Han Wan'er thoughtfully helped her sit down and persuaded: "Cousin, you are in good health, it's best not to go out to blow the wind, and when we are well-raised, we will go to Daishan to play." "They often go to Daishan to play when they are young, and the two little girls have a lot of energy, and they can play for a day compared to climbing the mountain.

Shen Qiangrose nodded and agreed, "Okay, we'll go when I'm better." ”

Han Wan'er smiled and said, "Let's talk about it, it's a word!" "She is naturally charming, and she speaks with a girl's playfulness, which is very likable.

Shen Qiangrose nodded, saw her pick up the medicine bowl on the table and handed it over, and said, "Cousin, the medicine is already warm, it's just right to drink it now." ”

The maid Qiu'er hurriedly took a plate of candied fruit and sent it over, saying: "Miss Cousin treats Miss really well, just now I fried the medicine, ready to bring it to Miss, Miss Table saw that the medicine bowl was full of medicine residue, I was afraid that Miss would not drink it, so she picked up the medicine residue and brought it to Miss, but it took a while!" ”

Shen Qiangrose listened to her bitter words, so she glanced at the medicinal juice and said cowardly: "Let's put it first, I'm a little hungry, eat something and drink it." ”

Yun Qing listened to the young lady's words, so he took the medicine bowl, put it on the table next to him, and told Qiu'er to get some porridge.

Shen Qiangrose didn't have any intention to eat, but her stomach burned, and she drank a few mouthfuls of porridge perfunctorily and put it aside.

Since the Shen family was in trouble, the two of them haven't talked for a long time, and Han Wan'er can't mention sad things, so he only picks out some interesting things about the two of them when they were young.

Shen Qiangwei cheered up and listened for a while, ordered Yunqing to take the medicine that had been cooled, and swallowed all the brown medicinal juice in one go, and poured the bitter water into her chest, and she couldn't tell what it tasted like.

She said: "I've been very sick these days, but thanks to your help, my mother's funeral was in a hurry, and I couldn't even choose a coffin. ”

Han Guan'er didn't expect her to suddenly mention Mrs. Shen, so she burst into tears and said, "It was fine just now, why did you say this again?" If you can't think of what you did, how sad your aunt would be. ”

Shen Qiang Rose thought of her mother, and the grief came up, her mother died strangely, and she didn't even have time to say a word before leaving, she only shouted her name with shortness of breath, and called one after another, "Rose...... Rosebush. ”

She felt cold for a while, couldn't stop shivering, and slowed down for a long time before saying: "Now that the Shen family has fallen, I don't know what the future will be, but fortunately, you have been with me, Wan'er, I really treat you as my own sister." ”

Han Wan'er saw that her expression was calm, and her calmness was different from before, so he said, "I really take you as my own sister." ”

Because she still had to go to school, she sat with Shen Qiangrose for a while, and when she saw that the time was about the same, she went out with her schoolbag. Shen Qiangrose is one year older than her, and she only went to Jinling University this year, she has taken a break from school some time ago, and she has no intention of studying, so she will not mention it.

Shen Qiangrose stood on the balcony and saw Han Wan'er walking downstairs, she was wearing a school uniform in a blue dress and a black skirt, combing her shawl hair, although she was beautiful, she was always soft and weak, which made people feel pity at first glance.

Yun Qing saw that Shen Qiangrose was still dull, so she said, "Didn't Miss Li ask Miss Li out today?" The young lady has been bored from staying at home lately, and it is time to go out for a walk. ”

Since the family changed, Shen Qiangrose has cut off contact with her former friends and classmates, and only high school classmate Li Moting occasionally called to greet her, which made her think of the old days and feel uncomfortable for no reason.

She thought for a while before saying, "I haven't seen Mo Ting for a while, and I miss her too." But seeing that it was still early, she asked Yun Qing to take a few books, sat on the balcony and looked lazily, one of the translated Russian novels she was very interested in, writing the story of two sisters who turned against each other, she read intently for a long time, before closing the book, got up and went to the dresser.

She rarely applies grease and powder, and now her face is not as round and fair as before, but she is very haggard, and she has lightly wiped her blush, and her complexion is a little better.

Mother Liu came over after breakfast, and when she saw her sitting in front of the dressing table and putting on makeup, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Why did Miss's elm head suddenly open up?" When the little young master of the Qiao family came to see you two days ago, you still gave people a look, why did you dress up when you heard that he was coming today? ”

When Shen Qiangrose heard that Qiao Yunhua was coming, her brows immediately frowned, and she said, "This Qiao Yunhua is really boring, I am no longer the daughter of the Minister of Finance, what is it for him to come like this?" Do you still have the intention of me getting engaged to him? ”

Qiao Yunhua is the little master of the Qiao family in Pengcheng, the Qiao family is the premier gentry family in the south, at first the Qiao family valued Shen Pingsheng's identity, so they proposed to get engaged to the two children.

That Qiao Yunhua is a very amorous master, misbehaving, and is a well-known young master. Shen Qiangrose disagreed, but Shen Pingsheng used her mother to threaten her, threatening that if she did not agree to the engagement, she would divorce her mother.

Shen Qiangrose barely met Qiao Yunhua twice, then Qiao Yunhua was naturally frivolous, she couldn't talk to him more than three sentences, let alone get married? When the two met, they inevitably quarreled, Shen Qiangrose was stubborn and never refused to admit defeat, Qiao Yunhua felt bored when she came and went, so she faded her.

Since the accident of the Shen family, the Qiao family has not mentioned the marriage they talked about before, and Mrs. Shen's funeral only sent someone to send a wreath, and the people of the Qiao family have not seen the people of the Qiao family come to see when Shen Qiangrose was ill.

Mother Liu adheres to the idea of the elders, always thinking that it is not a long-term thing for the young lady to be alone now, then the young master Qiao is a young son, and he may not be the master of the elders in the family, I am afraid that there will be some misunderstanding and delay a good marriage.

remembered that the Qiao family's successive behaviors were really chilling, so he said with a smile: "Even if Miss is not the daughter of the Minister of Finance, she is still a beauty, why should Miss be arrogant." ”

Shen Qiangrose fell silent, raised her eyes to look at herself in the mirror, although she was gorgeous and feminine, but her eyebrows were full of stubborn arrogance, like a well-behaved cat, looking lazy, but her eyes were cunning.

She couldn't guess Qiao Yunhua's thoughts, and she didn't bother to pay attention to it, so she just said, "Let him go." Mother Liu smiled and stopped talking about this.

Yun Qing prepared a plain dress in the morning, and Shen Qiangrose went out after dressing neatly, and the car was already waiting at the door.

She is now in charge, and she will pay attention to everything, and when she sees the new driver, she is naturally surprised, and she sees that he is only in his twenties, and his demeanor is a little meticulous.

politely opened the car door for her, and said politely: "Miss, I am Lin Bo's nephew Lin Sidong, the driver of the Shen Mansion resigned before, and Uncle asked me to come to the top." ”

When Shen Qiangrose heard that it was Lin Bo's nephew, she got into the car and sat down, and chatted with him casually. She saw that although this person was young, he knew how to measure himself, and he didn't give people the feeling of deliberate compliments when he spoke, which was rare.
