Eight years of recreation, on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Mansion

"This is what your mother left you back then, and at your mother's request, I should keep it until you get married, but now I'm leaving Huzhou, I'm afraid there will be changes on the way, so I came to return this thing to you today, you have to keep it."

The one who spoke was an old man who had been in his prime, dressed in gray linen, full of silver hair, and in good spirits. As he spoke, he carefully opened the silk cloth and took out a palm-sized bronze mirror.

The old man claimed to be the housekeeper of Shen Yunwei's biological mother, Du's mother's family, and came to visit the orphans of his mother-in-law before leaving, and the Shen family didn't take it seriously.

Shen Yunwei took the bronze mirror as if he didn't understand, and only felt that the old man's face was kind and kind, so he took the bronze mirror into his arms and hid it.

The old man watched her move, and his smiling eyes narrowed into slits.

******

Shen Yunwei suddenly opened his eyes, how did he do such a dream. Then she turned her head to look at the bronze mirror on the table next to the couch.

Since she got this bronze mirror at the age of eight, she has always been with her, and the world says that the bronze mirror means peace, maybe it is her mother's wish.

"Wu Niang, tomorrow is the day when the Pei family comes to greet her, why doesn't Wu Niang look happy?" Sanqi asked in a soft tone and with a worried face.

The woman in front of her is as bright as the autumn moon, lightly sweeping the moth eyebrows, and the color is like the morning glow reflecting the snow.

"It's nothing, I'm just missing my grandmother a little bit all of a sudden. If she was still there, she would be happy. Shen Yunwei said, his grandmother's smiling appearance appeared in his mind, and then a faint smile appeared.

Shen Weijing has entered Beijing since he entered Beijing, and his official fortunes have been stable, and he has risen all the way to the middle of the imperial history.

The family house has been stable all these years, and the only thing that makes the Shen family cry is when they went to Beijing eight years ago, Mrs. Shen was old and frightened, and she returned to the room not long after.

Shen Yunwei is the youngest daughter in the family, her biological mother Aunt Du died in childbirth when she gave birth to her, she grew up with her grandmother since she was a child, and her feelings are deep. Since her grandmother Xianyou, all her affairs have been taken care of by her grandmother Sun.

Mother Sun is the eldest daughter of Sun Yiquan, the governor of Huzhou, when Shen Weijing was only a mere Huzhou Shangzuoguan, Sun Yiquan's willingness to marry a daughter is completely based on his father Shen Chongshan was the heirloom of the first year of Fengsu, and his brother Shen Maojing is the Huiyuan of Yongxuan for five years, and has served in Beijing, this Shen family is also regarded as a poetry and book inheritance.

This Sun family has the eldest daughter Shen Yunjin and the third son Shen Yunyi, although they don't love Shen Yunwei much from the Du family, but they never treat them harshly, and they have a lot of style.

"Wu Niang, the old lady is in the spirit of the sky, knowing that Wu Niang is going to marry the Marquis of Zhongsu Mansion tomorrow, she must be happy to close her mouth," Sanqi said with a smile on Shen Yunwei's arm.

"You girl, you talk like this, it's not big or small, I have ordered you to be a companion now, and I will go to the Hou Mansion in the future, but I am not as comfortable as at home, if you still talk like this, you will have a meal"

Shen Yunwei raised his right hand, his index finger lightly poked Sanqi's head, and said angrily.

"Wu Niang, you have seen this second son of the Pei family before, but he has never spoken, but the slave maid has heard that this second son of the Pei family is full of poetry and books, and he is not a rough person, although he looks like a stone, but his face is cold and warm...... "Sanqi gushed endlessly.

"Okay, okay, you haven't arrived at the Hou Mansion yet, how did you come up with so many flattering words, I don't know where you heard it?"

Shen Yunwei said, and glanced at Sanqi, Sanqi is getting older, and she has become a big girl, but this character is still a little girl.

"The slave maid and Wu Niang grew up together, and when the lady marries, the slave and maid naturally have to inquire clearly," Sanqi said with a smile.

"Oh yes, the eldest lady specially sent someone to invite Master Chen from the West Tang Building to give you a phoenix crown, it has been sent a while ago, you haven't seen it, and the wedding dress is still at Mother Tong's, I guess it will be sent to you after a while"

The West Tang House is the most famous jewelry shop in Kyoto, and the master Chen in the store is highly skilled, and the rich ladies in the capital like to ask him to play the phoenix crown when they get married.

Master Chen is no longer confused, they all say that this slow work is meticulous, and the same is true for Master Chen, a phoenix crown often has to play for more than a few months, so these ladies in the capital often line up and may not be able to wait.

This time, the Sun family really spent a lot of thought on marrying the young daughter in the family. Xu is this person is getting older, and his heart is full of joy when he sees the juniors getting married and starting a business.

"Wu Niang, the eldest lady ordered me to send you a phoenix crown and a xiawei, by the way, let's see what Wu Niang has to say, so that I can clean it up for you, don't leave anything behind" A gentle woman's voice sounded outside the door.

"It's Mother Tong who is here," Sanqi said and went to greet him.

Tong's mother was the companion brought out of the Sun family when the eldest lady got married, and she was an honest and loyal woman.

At this moment, she was holding a food box in both hands, and she was also carrying two little girls by her side, each holding a case table in her hand, which was covered with red satin.

"Wu Niang, the dowry cage is packed up and put in the front yard, Mrs. said, Wu Niang's marriage is catching up with the Mid-Autumn Festival, I am afraid that you will not be at home for the first time, it is inevitable to be homesick, Mrs. personally made your favorite drink in the kitchen to play with the moon soup, let the slave send it to you to taste, it should be regarded as a holiday at home in advance" said that, put the food box on the round table, and carefully took out a bowl of play moon soup.

Looking at the moon soup in front of me with enough longan, lotus seeds and red dates, it shows the eldest lady's heart.

Shen Yunwei burst into tears at the corners of her eyes and said: "Mother's kindness for many years of nurturing is beyond repayment, and I will invite Tong's mother to serve in the future" said and bowed to Tong's mother.

"Oh, Wu Niang, you are really a slave," Tong's mother hurriedly stepped forward and picked up Shen Yunwei.

******

"Hey, I don't know, I thought it was Tong's mother who was going to send her daughter to get married" A soft female voice came.

"Si Niang'an" Tong's mother and others saluted the woman who came in.

Shen Yunwei stood up straight and glanced at Shen Yunbi, who came uninvited, she was wearing a crimson satin shirt today, reflecting her bright eyes and red lips, which was as beautiful as a peach in three springs.

"The fourth sister is about to get married, and I don't know if my sister can help?" Shen Yun asked politely.

Shen Yunbi is the fourth little lady of the Shen Mansion, and her biological mother is Aunt Xiao.

Aunt Xiao gave birth to her eldest son Shen Yunlu, Shen Yunlu was the Xie Yuan of Changhe for three years, Kang Le got the Jinshi for five years, and last year she waited for the lack of the imperial history in the palace, and even took Aunt Xiao's status in the Shen Mansion to rise, and Shen Yunbi's heart also rose.

"I don't need you to worry about it, in the future, my sister will be Mrs. Zhongsu Hou, and I will have a decree in two years, but don't forget my sister and me."

Shen Yunbi said, sat down at the round table, poured a cup of tea and took a sip.

"What did my sister say, this second son of the Marquis of Zhongsu is not a knight, and my sister is not Mrs. Marquis of Zhongsu"

Shen Yun smiled and said, this Shen Yunbi's words were sour.

Three years ago, when the Earl's Court heard that people had fallen in love with Shen Yunbi, they sent someone to ask for his name.

Although Shen Yunbi was a concubine, her father was already a fourth-grade official in the DPRK at that time, and her uncle Shen Maoqing was a scholar of Hanlin University, and he was relied on by the official family, and it was very likely that he would enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the future.

Aunt Xiao and Shen Yunbi were overjoyed, they never thought that they came to the capital from Huzhou, and they could be a countess, thinking of their eldest sister, Shen Yunjin from the eldest lady, Changhe said that he was married in the second year, and married the Jizhou regimental training envoy as the eldest daughter, but he never thought that after recreation, his father and brother had a smooth career and climbed steadily, bringing themselves this unimaginable benefit.

But I haven't been happy for long, the Pei family came to ask Shen Yunwei in the second year, the Pei family is loyal and good, although it is the second son Pei Xiaojian's relatives, it is also the Zhongsu Marquis Mansion, Shen Yunbi and Aunt Xiao regret not being at the beginning, if they respond to the Wen family later, maybe they can marry the prince of the Zhongsu Marquis Mansion!

"My sister doesn't have to be humble, I have a wishful hairpin here, and the face is inlaid with a thin circle of East Pearl, which my brother inadvertently got a few days ago, I look special, so I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and I should add a dowry to my sister."

Shen Yunbi said with a smile as she opened the box in her hand and placed it on the round table.

Shen Yunwei took the box, took out the hairpin and looked at it carefully, this hairpin is made of fine gold silk plate flowers, and the two ends are also inlaid with yellow amber, the workmanship is fine, not like ordinary products, "Thank you Fourth Sister for giving me such a valuable thing, I will definitely protect it well" said it, and put it away with a smile.

Shen Yunbi sipped her tea, glanced at Mother Tong standing on one side and the desk held by the two girls behind her, her eyes darkened, and she said lightly:

"I see that my sister is still busy here, so I'll go back first" The words fell, stood up, turned around and walked towards the door with a smile, no one saw a cold light flashing in her eyes.

"Sanqi, send the fourth sister"

"Yes"

******

At night, Shen Yunwei lay on the couch and tossed and turned, it was difficult to sleep, and as soon as the morning dawned, the team of the Marquis of Zhongsu Mansion came, but Shen Yunwei couldn't tell whether he was expecting more or fearing more in his heart.

Since the death of her grandmother, she has no one to shelter in this Shen Mansion, although her father has never treated her harshly, but it always seems to be separated by something, and it is always not like the intimacy between ordinary father and daughter, Shen Yunwei has always thought that the five fingers have long and short, and his father should prefer the eldest sister and Shen Yunbi.

In the Shen Mansion for these years, it is obviously his own home, but he always feels like he is under the fence, Shen Yunwei thought of this, and felt fortunate to have people from the Hou Mansion who were loyal to the Hou Mansion to discuss his relatives, although he knew little about the Hou Mansion, but he was always able to go out and live his life again.

Thinking of the mother she had never met, her grandmother who died suddenly, and the self who had lived alone in the inner courtyard of the Shen Mansion for all these years, the scenes unfolded in my mind, and I finally fell asleep unconsciously......
