This bright and moving modern lady must be Lin Lixue, the pearl of Lin Overseer's palm.

Lin Dujun patted his daughter's hand with a kind smile on his face, and his tone was solemn, but he was full of reproach and said: "The girl's family is always so hot!" There are guests at home, so why don't you say hello to your two brothers? ”

A few days ago, Lin Lixue had been secretly knocked on the side by her mother, so she naturally knew that one of the two brothers who came from afar was her fiancé who had made a baby kiss with her. Although she has received a Western-style education since she was a child and is very civilized and open, she has always been ashamed to talk about marriage among the young ladies of the family. After her father's big mention, her shallot-like jade fingertips pinched the sleeves and grinded, her face was red to the root of her ears, but she couldn't hold back the excitement and curiosity in her heart, and hurriedly glanced into the living room.

"This is your big brother Yucheng." Lin Heng smiled and pointed at people. Lin Lixue curtsy with a well-behaved appearance, Shen Da Shaohe stood up with a smile, took out a flat long satin box from his pocket and handed it to her, and said: "My mother has always been thinking about Sister Lixue, and before leaving, I told me a thousand instructions to give you this jade hairpin that has been passed down for several generations. ”

Lin Lixue's eyes were bright, and he opened happily, and saw that the brocade fine satin held a jade jade hairpin in the shape of a magnolia bud. Since Mrs. Shen is willing to give her such a valuable inheritance of her descendants, doesn't this mean that she is regarded as the daughter-in-law of the Shen family? The more she thought about it, the more her face burned, and her emotions flooded, and she only cast her suspicious gaze on the handsome young man she noticed when she went downstairs.

Lin Dujun followed his daughter's gaze and saw that there was only one Shen Yuji sitting as far as his eyes could see. He calmly picked up a cup of tea, took a few sips with a secret smile, looked at Shen Da Shao Lingxi, and said: "That is your brother Yuchen, remember, when you were a child, your father led troops to fight, so he sent you and your mother to live at your Uncle Shen's house." Yucheng is young and old, you don't dare to talk to him, so you chase your brother Yuchen every day to fight, once you climbed a tree to pick fruit, accidentally fell down, your brother Yuchen broke his ankle in order to catch you, and lay in bed for seven or eight days. ”

The youthful embarrassment suddenly came alive, Lin Lixue was angry, annoyed and ashamed, glanced at Shen Yuji with a red cheek, called Dad, and stomped his feet to drink his memories.

Ping Yan quietly handed over her gaze, a little curious about what kind of attitude Shen Yuchen, who had a changeable personality, should take to deal with this innocent lady, but Shen Yuchen also looked this way. Ping Yan and his gaze froze in mid-air, he raised his eyebrows with a bright look, twisted the pocket on the sleeve of his suit and straightened up, walked to the shy young lady, and stretched out his hand with a gentleman's bow, "Sister Lixue, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are more and more beautiful, I don't dare to recognize it." ”

His voice was crisp and crisp, like spring bamboo shoots, with innocence and innocence. Listening to Lin Lixue's ears, there was a different kind of crisp and numb joy.

Lin Lixue stretched out his hand, and Shen Yuchen grasped it. The slender knuckles of those fingers had the right amount of warmth on them, and the void wrapped around her palms. She couldn't help but look up and crash into a pair of piercing eyes, she looked at his finely carved face, the blood in her heart stirred, and the happier heartbeat hit her nerves.

It turned out that when Brother Yuchen grew up, he was like this.

Shen Yuchen let go of her hand, blinked, and said with a smile: "Sister Lixue, don't you dare to recognize me?" ”

Shen Da Shaofang was still worried, for fear that Shen Yuchen's mixed thoughts of marriage freedom would hit up bad things, and at this moment, he was relieved to see this pair of men and women talking harmoniously. Lin Heng couldn't hide the smile on his face, and talked with Shen Dashao with great interest. Unconsciously that it was time for lunch, Lin Dujun didn't want to go to the restaurant with his teachers, so he sent the captain of the guard to the Rose Restaurant opened by foreigners to hire a Western chef, and bought vegetable and meat tableware to cook in the stove room of the villa.

Xu Wanqing has been busy in the stove room until now, and when she came out, Xiyue and Dongxia behind her each held a fine porcelain round tray in their hands, and there were delicate pastry pieces on the plate. Walking to the long table of red sandalwood, he personally held the plate and placed it lightly on the table, Wen Xian retreated to Shen Dashao's side with a smile.

Lin Lixue is in the third grade of Qingzhou Girls' Middle School, and the female students from wealthy families have nothing to do, so it is best to chew on the long and short of things, among which the mute wife of Staff Officer Shen, who is young and in a high position, is a case. It was Lin Lixue who had already heard a lot about this Mrs. Shen, and she ran over with her skirt impatiently and curiously, sitting beside her father affectionately, looking at her with friendly eyes. I saw that she was wearing a wide robe of oblique pink satin, a pleated autumn water long skirt underneath, satin embroidered shoes on her feet, gentle peach tip bangs, a bun with her hair, a hairpin ring, a delicate face, and soft eyebrows and eyes. Lin Lixue looked extremely dull, her fingers were playing in knots around her curly hair, and her face showed a slight disdain.

Their new-style ladies disdained to deal with such old antique ladies. She really didn't understand how Brother Shen could fall in love with such a boring and mute woman.

Xu Wanqing noticed the change in her expression, pinched the handkerchief in her hand, and still smiled gently.

Major Shen saw everything in his eyes, pulled his wife's hand, got up and pressed her on the sofa, and said before she was about to stand up: "Come and rest." He was so quietly defending his wife, Lin Lixue was knocked on a suffocation by the husband and wife, and he felt embarrassed, so he called Brother Yuji several times in a row, and pulled him to eat pastries.

Lin Dujun quietly took a piece of pastry, his fingers trembled slightly and handed it to his mouth, biting one bite after another, his eyes gradually moistened, and a few lines of turbid tears slid down. Lin Lixue hurriedly wiped a handkerchief for him, and asked anxiously one after another.

"Brother Shen and I escaped from the bandits' den, and we didn't eat water and rice for five days, and we fainted on the mountain hungry. Mrs. Phantom Moon brought someone to look for us, and after looking for a few days and nights, the soles of her shoes were worn out, and she wrapped a mille-feuille in her handkerchief, although they were all rancid, but they saved me and Brother Shen's lives, which was the best thing I have ever eaten. Lin Dujun looked at the half of the pastry in his hand in a daze, old tears hovered around his eyes, and finally sighed, "Mrs. Phantom Moon, she is a good woman, she values love and righteousness, but it's a pity that ......" He said and looked at Shen Yuchen deeply, and finally a trace of comfort finally clinged to his wrinkled face, "Fortunately, there are children who can continue this rare friendship for the older generation." ”

Shen Dashao and Wanqing looked at each other, unconscious. Now the Shen family has wealth in business, but they do not have the power to call the wind and rain to protect the foundation in the troubled times. He didn't mean to be a drunkard, he just wanted to use these pastries to pinch those love and righteousness in the past, and keep the Shen family standing, so as to test and hold this high-powered Lin Overseer, so that the two in-laws would be sure.

It seems that as his father said, this Lin Overseer is indeed not a villain who tends to be inflammatory.

Shen Da Shao smiled apologetically: "Wanqing only thought about making a few snacks to honor her uncle, but she didn't expect to remind her uncle of the past, which really shouldn't be." ”

Lin Dujun waved his hand, tears in his eyes.

Shen Yuchen listened silently, with a smile on his lips, only when he mentioned Lady Phantom Moon, there was a trace of complicated stiffness on his face, and the complexity dissipated in an instant. Half of his side face against the light was angular, and Ping Yan stood here, seeing the curvature of his lips hooked more and more curved. It is a kind of laughter similar to paleness, without warm emotion, teaching coldness.

Ping Yan had seen this Phantom Moon Lady when she was a child. Back then, the thin figure knelt at the gate of Xu's mansion, and the heavy rain poured all over her body, and she just kept kowtowing. Ping Yan wanted to send her an oil umbrella, but was reprimanded by her mother. She still remembered her mother sitting in the hall with a cold expression, looking at the rain curtain smashing angrily and angrily, gritting her teeth, but her eyes slowly turned red. Later, the lady never came again, until after the Xu Mansion was destroyed, she knelt in the burned ruins and cried heartbreakingly. Within a few days, Ping Yan heard that she was dying of a sudden illness.

The Western cook worked hard for an hour, and then left after receiving the money. On the ceramic plate in front of each person at the table, a steak pasta and vegetable salad were placed on each side. The rest is a delicate and small Western dessert, as well as borscht, creamy mushroom soup, etc. Taking care of the nutrition of the child in Xu Wanqing's womb, she made steamed fish, curry shrimp soup, and heated milk.

Lin Dujun was extremely happy, opened two bottles of red wine, and staggered the dinner table. Lin Lixue cut the steak with a knife and fork, but her eyes involuntarily glanced at the opposite side, looking at Shen Yuji, who was like a crown of jade and behaving like a gentleman, and thinking about the time when the two were childhood sweethearts, the girl's spring heart was touched by wisps, and her face was red and stained.

Shen Yuchen was very unhappy by her, she only felt that she didn't know the taste of food, took a sip of red wine, and smiled patiently: "I remember that I brought a gift to Sister Lixue." ”

When Lin Lixue heard this, she showed a look of expectant surprise.

Before the meal, Shen Dashao just got Li Yong's reply, and he only knew that Shen Yuchen bought jewelry with a small amount of money from selling cars, but he was afraid that there were no good goods. He was about to stop, but Shen Yuchen had already quickly taken out the gift box, and glanced at Shen Dashao with a smile, "Sister Lixue opened it to see if she liked it?" ”

Lin Lixue opened the box with a red face, and saw a pair of pearl earrings lying inside, not to mention the style, the color and fullness alone were not good. She looked at it several times with surprise on her face, but she still couldn't see the value, and looked at Shen Yuchen who was smiling, and was very dissatisfied and awkward, but she couldn't bear to let Shen Yuchen be ugly in front of her father, so she had to accept it hastily and thank her with a smile.

Shen Yuchen shook his fingers intentionally or unintentionally, and a few drops of wine stains fell on the back of Ping Yan's hand, revealing a circle of cool marks. He said sincerely: "Actually, these pearl earrings are not worth much, I did things inappropriately, and I will personally take Sister Lixue to choose a few of her likes another day." At the end of the sentence, he sighed in annoyance.

Shen Yuchen silently left a lot of suspense, and Lin Dujun really asked the reason for this incident. Shen Yuchen put on a look of self-reproach, pointed directly at Ping Yan who was serving behind him, and said, "I really don't have the face to mention it, let's let my girl talk about it." His eyes flashed with joy to watch the show, and his mind froze.

No wonder she had to warn her before entering the door, because she had already given herself this drudgery of filling in the hole and lying with a ghost fetus. She now wonders if Shen Yuchen is in the water in his brain, shouldn't he, as one of the murderers, not mention the words about yesterday's bloody case, why did he deliberately hit the cusp?

Ping Yan hung her head, made a stupid girl who had never seen the world, and said softly: "Last night, the second young master was going to buy jewelry for Miss Lin, and in a crowded place, the wallet was touched by a thief, and the second young master could only sell the car to choose a gift for Miss Lin." She paused, a thought flashed in her heart, and said, "The second young master waited all night in front of the jewelry store in order to pick a gift." ”

Since he carried a good pot for himself, she exchanged courtesies and touched the heart of the pretty lady for him.
