Chapter 24: Sisters
Thanks to the old lady's blessing, Shen Yuechen finally got out of the main room, and she didn't have to face Shen Zhiyun and his wife for the time being. Who knows, Shen Yuechan and Shen Yueying, the two sisters, were accompanied all the way to Qingzhu Garden with her.
"Since the eldest sister has come to the garden, she naturally wants to walk around and have a good look."
"It's okay, then there's Sister Lao."
Although he felt inconvenienced, Shen Yuechen was inconvenient to say, after all, he was a guest here, not a host. As the saying goes, the guest is as he pleases. Regarding the status of his body in the Shen family, Shen Yuechen had no expectations in his heart for a long time.
The sisters walked together, Shen Yuechan took Shen Yuechen to the Qingzhu Garden, introduced the surrounding scenery to her from time to time, and took her to enjoy a few flower scenes by the way.
Compared with the old mansion of the Shen family, the Shen Mansion is much more spacious and gorgeous, and there is a faint hint of the grandeur of the eunuch's house, which is subtle and unassuming.
Shen Yuechen was indifferent to the beautiful scenery, but was puzzled by Shen Yuechan, who had been paying attention to and observing his expression. Although she kept smiling and talking to herself, the smile seemed insincere, but a little sarcastic.
Shen Yuechen could understand her pride in herself, so she simply let her look at it, but she didn't see it, looked at the delicate flowers and plants in the garden, and praised her generously.
Shen Yuechan then said: "The flowers in the garden are the favorites of our sisters, and my father specially invited a florist to plant them. I like peony the most, Yueying likes begonia the most, Yuexiu likes jasmine the most, what about the eldest sister? What is the eldest sister's favorite flower? ”
When Shen Yuechen heard this, she smiled faintly and said, "I like it when I look at it." ”
She has never been indifferent to flowers and plants, whether in her past life or in this life. Although the flowers are very beautiful, after the flowers bloom, they will one day wither, and the beauty of the moment cannot be kept.
Shen Yuechan saw that her answer was a little perfunctory, raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, and asked: "I heard my mother say that the eldest sister went to Zhu's house to participate in the flower appreciation banquet earlier, and saw the rare green peony, which is really enviable." ”
Mentioning the Zhu family again, Shen Yuechen couldn't help but feel that now, the word "Zhu family" seems to be a label attached to himself, and he will not be mentioned all the time.
Seeing that she didn't answer immediately, Shen Yuechan glanced at her, and said with some meaning: "The eldest sister is a person who has seen the world, of course she is different from us, where can you see these vulgar flowers?" Her tone was mixed with a faint sourness, which provoked Shen Yueying and the maids on the side to cover their mouths and snicker.
Then, she raised her face slightly, pretending to be innocent and asked, "Eldest sister, when you marry into the Zhu family in the future, can you also let your sisters follow and open your eyes?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Yuechen in unison, looking either curious or teasing.
Shen Yuechen slowly clenched her hands, her face was slightly red, she looked at Shen Yuechan with disgust, and said in a strengthened tone: "Sister, don't make fun of me, it's not good to talk nonsense like this." ”
Shen Yuechan saw her eyes move slightly, and just smiled and said, "My sister is just asking casually, why is the eldest sister shy and blushing." After speaking, he pulled her sleeve and sprinkled coquettishly: "Eldest sister, you can talk to us." What does the Zhu family's green peony look like? ”
When Shen Yueying heard this, she also echoed: "Yes, eldest sister, tell us about it, I'm also curious." ”
Shen Yuechen was so unrelenting in her questioning, and felt bored from the bottom of her heart, so she replied vaguely: "But it looks similar to ordinary chrysanthemums, but the color of the flowers is as green as jade." ”
In fact, that day at the Zhu family, she was not in the mood to enjoy the flowers at all, and she was full of thoughts elsewhere, and she couldn't remember anything clearly.
Shen Yuechan pouted a little unhappily. "Eldest sister, I'm so stingy, since I don't want to say it, I just don't say it, why do you want to perfunctory me so casually." After speaking, he let go of her hand, looking a little angry.
Shen Yuechen smiled, "Good sister, don't be angry. I will definitely take you to see the green peony when I have the opportunity in the future. ”
When Shen Yuechan heard this, her eyes flashed, and her expression was a little surprised: "Oh, does the eldest sister mean to take me to the Zhu family?" ”
Shen Yuechen really admired her associative power, and it was not only the Zhu family that had green peonies in this world. However, there were some things that were inconvenient to say, she smiled and said nothing, ready to completely stop the topic about the Zhu family, looked at Shen Yuechan and said, "Sister, I'm really a little tired and want to go back to rest." ”
When Shen Yuechan heard this, she smiled slightly: "It's because my sister is too playful and makes my sister tired, let's go to the wing room to rest." ”
Qingzhuyuan is indeed a very quiet place, Shen Yuechen's luggage, Spring Tea and they have already packed up, and the beds have been made, so you can rest directly when you go in.
Shen Yuechen said that she wanted to take a break, but Shen Yuechan naturally didn't want to pester her anymore, and led her sister Shen Yueying back to her courtyard, looking unhappy.
Shen Yueying saw her frowning slightly, and asked, "Second sister, our eldest sister seems to be good-tempered." ”
Shen Yuechan said disapprerovingly: "It's just a meeting, who knows if it's okay?" ”
Shen Yueying said again: "Second sister has to be careful when she speaks in the future." This will, my grandmother is also at home, and it will not be good if the eldest sister goes to complain. ”
When Shen Yuechan heard this, she smiled lightly and said, "What is the complaint?" Do you really feel sorry for her as a grandmother? It's just a moment of coaxing her. ”
Hearing this, Shen Yueying nodded thoughtfully.
After returning to the house, Shen Yuechan waited for her mother Yao to come back. Sure enough, after Yao settled the old lady, he came to her side.
Shen Yuechan got up to greet her, and said with a smile: "My mother came just in time, and my daughter just dried the tea." ”
Yao's face was faint, and he picked up the tea and put it down after only taking a sip.
Shen Yuechan took the initiative to walk over, snuggled up to her side, and said coquettishly: "Mother, your face is not good, is something wrong?" ”
Yao's eyes fluttered, falling on his daughter's beautiful face, and he said in a cold tone: "It's not because of your eldest sister that I was trained in front of the old lady for no reason." ”
Shen Yuechan was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Why?" Didn't Grandmother just arrive today? ”
Yao sneered: "Your grandmother's mind is the most cunning. The bad guys let others do it, and they pick the good ones themselves. Now, your eldest sister is here, and if she makes any mistakes, it's all my fault. ”
"Good look, what's wrong with Grandmother? Eldest sister, what's so great about her? ”
Yao shook his head slightly, "No matter if she has anything great, now, she is the meat of the old lady's heart." You have to be careful in the future, don't rely on the usual comfortable at home, say these unmeasured words, in case let your grandmother hear carefully, then you will have to use the topic to play. ”
Shen Yuechan said with an unhappy face: "Mother, what can I say?" Oops, it's really annoying to think about, I knew it was so annoying, and my mother shouldn't have agreed to take them over in the first place. ”
When Yao Shi heard this, his face sank again, "What do you know?" Your father is a dutiful son, and I must not say no to this kind of thing. ”
Although because of the wealth of his mother's family, the Yao family can usually straighten his back and speak loudly in front of Shen Zhiyun, but once there is a major event in the family, the last person to make up his mind must be Shen Zhiyun, especially about the old lady, he must be more generous, otherwise he will lose his virtue.
