Chapter 24
When Chun Tao saw Shen Miao, she hurriedly approached the carriage and said something to the people in the carriage, and then saw that the curtain of the carriage was lifted. =
It was Shen Yue and Shen Qing, as well as Ren Wanyun and Chen Ruoqiu. When these four people saw Shen Miao's appearance, they couldn't help but be stunned. Chen Ruoqiu's eyes flashed, but Ren Wanyun frowned: "Xiao Wu, why are you dressed so plainly?"
"That's right," Shen Qing couldn't wait to speak: "It looks really ugly, it's better to wear something bright." I still have a bright yellow new dress in my house, Chun Tao, you took your fifth sister to change out of that dress, and jewelry, why didn't you wear anything? ”
She secretly suppressed the jealousy in her heart.
In fact, Shen Qingsheng can be regarded as a beautiful woman, and on weekdays, she looks like a very well-behaved lady. But there is one thing she cares about the most, that is, her complexion is not very fair, and some are more wheat-colored. Who in her daughter's family doesn't want her skin to be snowy, Shen Yue's skin is white, she doesn't dare to say anything, but Shen Miao's skin is white, and she is wearing lotus blue clothes today, which makes her skin even more snowy. In this way, among the three daughters of the Shen Mansion, she has the darkest complexion, so she is naturally unhappy.
Shen Yuezai looked at Shen Miao carefully, and saw that the weeping bun she was combing was also small and exquisite, and she looked very dignified with her lotus blue clothes. Today, she did not wear those gold and silver jewelry, and she had a feeling that although she was simple, her temperament was natural and noble. She smiled and said: "Fifth sister, let's not talk about clothes for the time being, but jewelry must be worn, after all, it is the face of our house, and grandmother will be displeased to see you dressed like this." Besides, how did you comb your hair like this? You're not very old now, and you used to have a good double bun. ”
Gu Yuqi's face was a little pale, but as a subordinate, she couldn't contradict her master. I only gritted my teeth with hatred, the second and third rooms of this Shen Mansion were all ghosts, and they did not hesitate to harm their nieces. I wish Shen Miao was dressed as rustic as possible.
Shen Miao sneered in her heart, Shen Yue even moved out of Old Madam Shen, and she also knew that what she was most afraid of in the past was the majesty of the old lady. As for combing his hair, Shen Yue is only a little more than a year older than him, and there is no such thing as being young. She combed her own flying fairy bun, the pink gauze dress is light and fairy, if she wants to be a stunning talent, why should she liner herself?
After they finished speaking, they saw that Shen Miao didn't say a word, just looked at them with a smile, not knowing what they were thinking. Finally, Shen Qing was a little uncomfortable by that gaze, and scolded the maid standing by the carriage: "Chun Tao, what are you doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and take your fifth sister to change clothes?"
"No need," Shen Miao interrupted her, and made a sad look on her face at the right time: "There is a reason why I am dressed like this today." I also like the jewelry given to me by my second aunt, and I don't mean not to wear it. ”
Several people looked at each other, not knowing what Shen Miao meant. Gu Yu and Jing Yu also glanced at each other, looking at Shen Miao with some confusion.
"My father is now far away in the northwest, leading the soldiers to fight bloodily. The Huns did not retreat, the soldiers were cold and iron-clad, I was in the capital, but I was dressed in brocade and jade food, leisurely and elegant, enjoying flowers and chanting poetry, I was really ashamed. Shen Miao lowered her head slightly, and her voice was also lightened: "Last night, there was a Bodhisattva in a dream and asked me to pray sincerely. I made up my mind that I would not wear bright clothes or jewelry until my father returned triumphantly. ”
No one expected Shen Miao to suddenly say such a thing, and he couldn't say anything cowardly on weekdays, let alone chew on words like this. Shen Yue and Shen Qing were speechless in surprise, and Chen Ruoqiu stroked the corners of his forehead thoughtfully. It was Ren Wanyun, her face was a little embarrassed, Shen Miao's words came out, she prayed sincerely for her father alone, so what are they, the Shen family? But if she wants her Qing'er to wear such a plain dress to the chrysanthemum banquet, she will not do it. Ren Wanyun gritted her teeth and persuaded lovingly: "Even so, you are also a young girl's family, why bother thinking so much, just relax at the chrysanthemum banquet......"
Shen Miao suddenly bowed to Ren Wanyun: "Ask the second aunt to fulfill Shen Miao's filial piety." ”
Standing at the gate of the Shen Mansion, there were many passers-by coming and going, Shen Miao bowed like this, and the people passing by couldn't help but cast curious glances.
Ren Wanyun can make Shen Miao have to wear gorgeous clothes to maintain the face of the Shen Mansion, but does Ren Wanyun dare not fulfill Shen Miao's filial piety?
My eldest brother is fighting in the northwest, and he doesn't pray, and he doesn't even fulfill the filial piety of his daughter, what kind of heart does that have?
Ren Wanyun's face suddenly turned blue, she didn't expect Shen Miao to answer like this, what was even more frustrating was that she couldn't refuse. Ren Wanyun hurriedly asked Chun Tao to help Shen Miao up, and said, "You kid, how can the second aunt not fulfill your filial piety? ”
Shen Qing was still a little unconvinced, but it was difficult to refute his mother's opinion. Shen Yue's mother and daughter seemed to see something, and when they looked at Shen Miao again, their eyes were already different.
"However," Ren Wanyun said with a smile: "We can't sit in this carriage anymore, so let the housekeeper prepare another one for Xiao Wu." It's also spacious to sit, and Xiao Wu will follow us behind the second carriage and go in later. ”
At the annual chrysanthemum banquet, Shen Miao rides in a carriage with these two mothers and daughters, but there is one more person, how can he not squeeze in. Today's attitude is nothing more than deliberate.
Ren Wanyun also has her own thoughts, and Shen Qing has also reached the age of looking for someone's house, but Shen Xin's official position is greater than Shen Gui's, so if he has that high door, maybe he will think about Shen Miao first. Shen Miao is stupid, as long as no one leads her, I am afraid that she will make a lot of jokes, only in this way can Shen Qing's generosity and decency be brought out.
She had specially prepared two carriages. Chen Ruoqiu's mother and daughter had the same idea as her, so naturally they would not refuse.
"Okay, but according to the second aunt's orders. Shen Miao smiled slightly.
Ren Wanyun was still a little surprised, she didn't expect Shen Miao to agree so easily. Shen Miao has always been timid, she always stuck to Shen Yue and Shen Qing before, and thought that it would be difficult for her to have a carriage alone, but she didn't expect Shen Miao to refuse at all.
In this way, it seems that her prepared words are superfluous.
"If it's okay, Shen Miao will go to the carriage first. She saluted the four and got into her carriage.
The carriage was also spacious, but it was not as delicate as Ren Wanyun's.
Gu Yu said angrily: "It's just a matter of letting the girl sit in the carriage alone, and even letting people sit in the back, what kind of heart is this?"
Stunned glanced at Shen Miao with some concern, and sighed slightly in his heart.
Shen Miao looked at the candied fruit on the small table with heavy eyes, and her hands gradually clenched.
Want to sweep the face of the big house, deliberately widen the distance between her and the big house, make her a joke, and infamous Shen Xin?
She wanted to see who would block whom in the end
