Chapter 17: Young Muai
Shen Shikai's eyes were hot, and his eyes were full of trust and expectation when he looked at Bai Jinghao.
Bai Jinghao blinked, raised his hand to pull the broken hair next to his ear behind his ear, and asked lightly: "What explanation?" I hadn't been out of the house last night, and I didn't know what my cousin was asking. ”
Shen Shikai was surprised, he didn't expect that this cousin, who had always been gentle and weak, would turn his face and deny people, and he actually didn't admit it!
The young man was angry and annoyed, stood up and wanted to say more, but he looked left and right with scruples, and finally lowered his voice and said vaguely: "As for the matter of Fumen Restaurant...... If you don't, I'm going to tell my grandmother! ”
Bai Jing answered unhurriedly: "If my cousin wants to say it, I said it last night." ”
Shen Shikai said bluntly: "I think you have a hard time. Okay, if someone is forcing you, you must have done it as a last resort, right? ”
"If you think it's a bitter feeling, why does my cousin ask? The so-called hardships cannot be said to others. ”
Shen Shikai's eyes straightened.
The girl in front of her is different from the simplicity and elegance of the past, today's her makeup is bright, the ice muscle and jade skin are dazzling under the sun, and in the bright eyes, there is a natural charm between the waves, which looks delicate and cute.
Familiar feeling, but with a little strangeness, as if there is a little more stubbornness in the slenderness.
The boy looked at her and forgot what to say for a moment.
Bai Jinghao stood up and said politely and distantly: "If my cousin has nothing else to do, then I'll go back first." ”
"Ahh
Shen Shikai hurriedly called her and said softly, "If you have any difficulties, you can tell me, and I will help you." Also, since you returned home last night, have you been embarrassed? ”
"I'm fine, thank you cousin."
Shen Shikai saw that she was in a hurry to leave, so he hurriedly took out the gift he had prepared earlier, walked around to her and said, "Yesterday was your birthday, and I have Mr. Ben Dongyuan's piano score." I know you've loved his tunes since you were a child, and I wanted to give them to you on my grandmother's birthday, but there was an accident that day, and I didn't find a chance to talk to you, and I was too hasty last night, so I delayed it. ”
Bai Jinghao looked at the blue book seal sheet in front of her that was carefully wrapped in the cloth, and looked at him with emotion, the young man's eyes were full of hope when he looked at her, and she unconsciously took half a step back.
Shen Shikai is the son of Jiangmen, he doesn't like to study since he was a child, and he doesn't know the rhythm of music, and Mr. Dongyuan's piano score has been lost for a long time......
Bai Jinghao turned sideways, and her ears seemed to echo what Shen Shiyan had said to her earlier.
Yes, she actually knew her cousin's thoughts about her for a long time.
I didn't dare to think about it before, but now I don't want to think about it.
Some people can take advantage of it, such as His Royal Highness, but some people can't.
Bai Jinghao stabilized her voice and said calmly: "Thank you cousin for your kindness, but I haven't been touching the piano for a long time." This sheet music is so precious, you should leave it to Cousin Shiyan. ”
She finished speaking, deliberately ignoring the loss on his face, and moved out of the gazebo.
Shen Shikai looked at her distant back in confusion, not even noticing that his own sister was close.
Shen Shiyan glanced at her infatuated brother, shook her head and persuaded: "Brother, don't worry about her!" I went to Pin Meixuan this morning to find her, and I talked to her a lot of kind words, and promised to help her win the favor of her grandmother, so that she could one day replace Cousin Jin Yao in the Bai family and be the proudest daughter of my uncle.
I also said that I could persuade my mother to accept her. You know what? She rejected me! I have inquired, in the past few days, Imperial Physician Lu from the East Palace has come to Shangshu Mansion every day to recuperate her body, and has also brought a lot of rare treasures in the palace to her. Now, relying on his own beauty, he has won the favor of His Royal Highness Taisun, and he doesn't bother to marry you at all. ”
"Ah Yan, you are not allowed to say that, Ah Hao, she is not that kind of person."
Shen Shikai warned Shen Shiyan in a sharp tone.
Shen Shiyan was not afraid of him, stretched out her hand to pull the piano score, sat on the stone bench and muttered while flipping through it: "Mr. Dongyuan's lonely book, you ordered someone to go to Jiangnan to find it for more than half a year, and even I was reluctant to give it, so I deliberately left it to her, but others didn't appreciate it, do you say it's annoying?" ”
Shen Shikai retrieved the score and said with a straight face: "Don't say it." ”
He was upset by what the other party had just said, and he was even more confused in his heart, not understanding what happened to his cousin Jinghao.
Shen Shiyan's hand fell into the void, and he didn't say well: "What I said is true or false, you know it in your own heart." Brother, it's not like our Shen family can't marry a young lady, why do you have to stare at her? Originally, her background was disgraceful, and her mother still didn't like her, forget it! She sincerely persuaded her.
Shen Shikai widened her eyes and asked, "Ah Yan, who asked you to publicize the second cousin's affairs in the Fumen Restaurant?" You're ruining her, you know? ”
He went out to watch the lanterns with his sister last night, and when he met Bai Jinghao on the road, he chased after him. After returning to the general's mansion and being questioned, Shen Shikai told her the truth, and specially told her not to leak it to the outside world.
As a result, it has spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital today!
Shen Shiyan had no remorse, stood up, and emphasized: "Brother, I am your own sister, why do you help outsiders lose their temper with me all day long?" What's wrong with her being our cousin, who made her have to compete with me for the position of princess? Mother said, that seat belongs to me, if Bai Jinghao really dares to fight with me, I will not show mercy to her subordinates. ”
Shen Shikai was startled by her firm eyes and serious tone, he really couldn't understand the thoughts of his mother and sister, was it so important to marry into the East Palace?
"I won't allow you to hurt Ah Hao!"
Shen Shiyan replied lightly: "As long as she keeps to herself and doesn't think about things that don't belong to her, I will naturally not embarrass her for the sake of my brother's face." But if she doesn't know what to do and goes against me like Cousin Jinyao, don't blame me for being ruthless. Brother, you have to remember that I am your sister, the only sister! ”
Shen Shikai was stunned for a long time, sighed helplessly, and then stuffed the score in his hand to her, and said, "What you have always wanted." ”
Shen Shiyan didn't think about it, and directly threw the score back to him, "I really wanted it before, but you refused to give it." Now that others have refused, if you come and give it to me again, then no matter how precious it is, I don't want it. ”
After she finished speaking, she simply stepped out of the gazebo.
Shen Shikai was confused.
After the Shen brothers and sisters left, Bai Jinzhu stood up from the chrysanthemum bushes not far away, smiled and whispered, "I see. ”
She had just been pushed to the side by Shen Shiyan, thinking that their brother and sister didn't want to see her, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was wrong. To be reasonable, the person my aunt doesn't want to see should be Bai Jinghao, so why would they rather let Bai Jinghao accompany her?
Bai Jinzhu walked around the garden twice, and just happened to see Shen Shiyan returning to the pavilion, so he followed and hid in the dark. Coincidentally, I heard the conversation between their brother and sister, and it turned out that Cousin Shikai liked the eldest sister, and the second sister scandal was actually done by the cousin.
She had an idea, raised her feet and went to Pinmeixuan.
As the saying goes, those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come.
Bai Jing looked at her and asked straight to the point, "Is there anything wrong with the third sister coming to me?" ”
"Eldest sister, I'm here to ask for someone."
Bai Jinzhu looked around the room, and finally fell on Er Kite, and said directly: "You give me this maidservant, and I promise not to reveal your secret." ”
Er Kite was so frightened that she looked at her master in a panic and asked for help.
