Chapter Ninety-Six: The Girls' Gathering
Bai Jing was so surprised, she walked out of the house and said confusedly, "Cousin, what are you doing here?" β
Shen Shikai was instructing his subordinates to handle it gently, and when he saw them come out, he bowed very solemnly, "Sister Jinghao, I'm here to make amends to you." β
Bai Jinghao and Wei Li glanced at each other, still puzzled, "Make amends?" β
"That's it, it's Sun Ruo's thing last time."
Shen Shikai turned his back to the sunset, his face was shy, and he was still worried, as if he was afraid that Bai Jing would be alienated from him for this, "Originally, I saw that she was a weak woman who was lonely and lonely in a foreign land, so I thought that I would take her back to the house and settle it first, and then find someone to find her relatives for her." But after checking yesterday, I found that her relatives had already moved out of the capital, and she didn't want to go back to her hometown, and my mother had no one to accompany her since Ayan came out of the cabinet. β
Bai Jing nodded after hearing this, "Miss Sun is quite pitiful." And you and your uncle are often not in the house, and it's good that your aunt can have someone by your side. β
"I should tell you about this."
Shen Shikai's face was cautious, and he turned around and said in a positive tone: "These are the fashionable silks that I sent someone to transport from Jiangnan, and there are some interesting gadgets. If you're usually in the boudoir for a long time, it's best to pass the time.
By the way, there is a white fox in this, which my father hunted in Qinglin the year before last. You have been weak since childhood, and it is the best way to use it to protect against the winter cold. β
Bai Jinghao saw that he personally opened the box and asked her to look at the white fox that was as white as snow, and hurriedly said: "Cousin, this gift is too valuable, you can take it back and give it to your aunt or send it to the palace for your cousin." As for the matter of accepting Sun Ruo in the General's Mansion, I said it outside last time, this is a family matter of the Shen family. β
"But it's a woman, after all...... I'm afraid you're upset. β
Shen Shikai remembered his friend's words, and said that his fiancΓ©e went to the house to get a woman before he passed the door, although he didn't mean that, but all women would definitely mind, so he specially prepared a heavy gift to make amends.
"My cousin was too worried, I didn't mind." Bai Jinghao's tone was flat.
But Shen Shikai always felt that the person in front of him was not as close as when he treated him before, so he closed the wooden box and waved his hand to let people in, "Since I brought it, I can't move it back, right?" Do you want to be polite to me with a little gift? β
Seeing that he couldn't push it off, Bai Jinghao had no choice but to say, "Nuan Yue, you lead someone to divide these things into five parts." The cousin's kindness must always be shared with the sisters in the house. β
Shen Shikai was still standing in the courtyard, and when he heard this, he looked at Bai Jinghao's eyes and was a little hurt, "Ah, good ......"
Bai Jinghao looked at the past with a good smile: "I'm the eldest sister, I can't monopolize my cousin's goodness, right?" β
"Forget about the rest, you have to keep this white fox and wear it yourself."
Bai Jing is so blessed, "Thank you, cousin." I still have a guest here, and I'll have a slow chat with my cousin another day. Since my cousin has passed the house, my second brother has just come back from outside, and in the spring, you take your cousin to the Yanque Tower. β
"No need, my second cousin and I have only met in Yunxi Palace."
Shen Shikai was a little disappointed, but he also understood what the other party meant, and left Pinmei Xuan lonely.
After he left, Bai Jing looked at the cages in the courtyard and her head hurt, so she had to urge Nuan Yue and them to move faster.
Wei Li looked at it and couldn't help but speak for Shen Shikai, "My brother and the elder brother of the Shen family have been friends since childhood, and over time, I am also familiar with him. He spent such a lot of money to coax you today, why don't you appreciate it? Giving gifts to others in front of others, can he feel comfortable when he sees it? β
"My sisters at home are all his cousins. If you are a cousin, you should treat everyone equally. β
Bai Jinghao stood in the courtyard for a while, her hands that were originally covering her were cold again, and after entering the house, she hurriedly took the stove from Chunxiao's hand, and sat down on the kang again.
Wei Li saw her like this, "Sister Jinghao is so afraid of the cold, otherwise she will take the white fox big piece that she just got?" β
Bai Jing saw that she was in high spirits, but she didn't refuse.
But the maidservant brought Dayu, but on the grounds that she was lazy and didn't want to move, she asked Wei Li to try it for her.
The white fox is as smooth as snow, without a single blemish.
Although Wei Li is younger than her, his body is not much different, his upper body is very suitable, and he looks bright and beautiful.
"The elder brother of the Shen family treats his sister so well, such a skin is rare even in the palace."
"If my sister likes it, take it back."
I have known each other for so long, and I haven't given each other anything, Bai Jinghao doesn't mind borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.
When Wei Li heard this, he hurriedly took off the big hat and handed it back to Chunxiao, "No, this is given to you by Brother Shen, if I take him, won't he die of sadness?" β
As she spoke, she leaned on the coffee table in front of Bai Jinghao, looked at the other party carefully and asked softly, "Sister Jinghao, to be honest, he is so good to you, aren't you moved?" It stands to reason that the things given by your childhood sweetheart's fiancΓ© should be carefully kept, how can you send them everywhere casually? β
"Sister Qinglong, do you think I don't cherish it?"
Bai Jing finally understood the meaning of her words, smiled bitterly and said, "Where can you see that I don't cherish it?" It's not my own sister, it's you, you can see that I give it to outsiders casually? β
Wei Li was happy to say this, and said with a smile: "So, my sister doesn't treat me as an outsider!" β
Bai Jinghao smiled again and handed her a cup of tea.
Dinner was served in the small courtyard, and when the old lady heard that she had a guest, she specially ordered the large kitchen to add a few more dishes.
Bai Jinzhu took the initiative to stay when she came to thank her, although Wei Li didn't like her, she didn't have a cold face when she took care of Bai Jinghao.
When the banquet was about to open, Bai Jinyao also came with Bai Jinlin and Bai Jinse from the second room.
Bai Jinyao listened to Qin Rou's words, and shouted "big sister" with a smile and a kind face, the fourth lady Bai Jinlin only followed Bai Jinyao's side, and then only cared about eating, but the fifth lady Bai Jinse said a few words to them from time to time.
Wei Li is a playful person, and because he is not in his own house, no one will take care of him, so he asked Bai Jing to order someone to fetch wine while eating.
They are all girls in their cardamom years, and they are easy to forget when they play, and they will not remember the past grievances.
After a tour of the wine order, even Bai Jinyao let go of her hands and feet, shouting that Wei Li was bullying, and tilted her head to complain, saying that the pastries she sent last time made her stomach uncomfortable and drank medicine for several days.
Because of the wine, Wei Li was not too subtle, and directly replied that who asked her to bully Bai Jing at home.
Bai Jinyao muttered a few times and then left it behind.
Bai Jinghao knows how to eat and drink, but here she is the oldest, she is both the person who is the east and the eldest sister, and she must stay sober and look at them.
It didn't take long for the Chengguo Mansion to send someone to pick up Wei Li.
Bai Jinghao instructed the maids to send their sisters back, and she personally helped Wei Li out.
Under the flickering shadow of the candles in the alley, a long and slender young man in brocade stood next to the canopy carriage.
