Shen Yaoyao hooked her lips quite happily, her heart was irrepressible pride and joy, she was swept away by Liu Yu's depression just now, she leaned on the silk pillow nobly.

"Fifth brother really has a heart."

Tomorrow is her college banquet, among the five brothers, only Shen Yufei has not given her a gift, these days, she always feels that his attitude is not as enthusiastic as before, it seems that she just thinks too much.

He still spoils her very much.

The brocade box is more expensive than the wooden box, and the things in it are naturally better, so it can be seen that Shen Yufei must have spent a lot of money.

Shen Yaoyao was a little impatient, "Anyway, it was all sent to me by the fifth brother, and I will know sooner or later, so let's open it now and take a look." ”

The moment the maidservant opened the box, Shen Yaoyao's eyes instantly burst into joy.

Inside the brocade box, lies a gilt step made of pigeon's blood, delicate workmanship, luster and translucent, at first glance is a fine jewelry.

Under the warm yellow candle flame, the whole step sparkled brightly, and the blood-red gemstone was like the autumn sun, inlaid on the gilded hairpin with a golden halo, which was exquisite.

Not inferior to anything in the palace at all.

Mama Zhao picked it up and put it into her bun with a smile, "Miss, this step shake is too good for you." ”

The maidservant next to her brought a bronze mirror with sharp eyes.

Shen Yaoyao looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her satin-like black hair was dotted with rubies, and the slightly swaying gilded pattern base was like a blooming flower, which made her more and more moving.

Although it is very beautiful, she also has a little regret, "It is a pity that such a good pigeon blood gem is used for step shaking, and it is more atmospheric to use it as a hair crown." ”

Moreover, the beads under the step shake sometimes hook into the hair if she is not careful, so she has never liked to wear the step shake.

Mama Zhao also knew that she didn't like Dai Bu Shao, and said softly: "Where do the five sons understand this, in the eyes of their men, Bu Shao, hairpin, and hair crown are all about the same, and having a heart is the most important thing."

"If the lady doesn't like it, just let the shopkeeper take the beads below, and make it into a hairpin."

Shen Yaoyao's heart moved, and she said to the shopkeeper Rourou: "Then bother you to take the beads below and make them into a hairpin style."

"Yes." The shopkeeper should be down.

Halfway through the waiting, Mama Zhao suddenly remembered something, she pointed to the box held by the maidservant on the side, and asked.

"Miss, this is a gift from Liu Yu for your higher education, what should you do with it?"

Seeing something about Liu Yu, Shen Yaoyao felt unwell, and she said in disgust: "Just throw it away."

Liu Yu, a man, was also born in a family, although the family has declined in his generation, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the family background is still very rich.

However, every time he gave gifts, he couldn't pick them, a few pennies bought casually on the roadside, and the strange-shaped stones he picked up by the river when he played......

But the most outrageous thing is that when she was in time for the year before last, Liu Yu came empty-handed, took her hand and said affectionately - This year, I am your gift.

She almost died of nausea at the time.

In the past, she had no way to get in touch with a better man, so she endured it, but now there are a lot of sons-in-law who want to marry her outside, and she can finally not be angry.

It is not complicated to take the bead string, and in less than a cup of tea before and after, the step shake becomes a hairpin.

Shen Yaoyao put on the changed hairpin, looked in the mirror for a while, and then took Mama Zhao and left satisfied.

The other side.

"Ah Liu, haven't you sent the step over there at the jewelry store?" Shen Yufei put down the carving knife in his hand, very absent-minded.

Ah Liu smiled and quipped, "How many times has the son asked, the shopkeeper said that he would send it today, you are in a hurry, it is estimated that it will be later." ”

"By the way, tomorrow is the college banquet, you haven't given Miss Six's gift yet, it's better to go over now, wait for you to come back, Ah Liu estimates that Miss Tangtang's step has also arrived."

Hearing this, Shen Yufei struggled for a while, and finally got up, raised his hand and patted off the sawdust on his body, "Okay, bring Yaoyao's gift for further education." ”

"Childe, wait a minute."

He was suddenly the only one left in the huge space, Shen Yufei's heart was empty, he hallucinated around, his eyes fell on the large and small wood carvings, and his eyes were complicated.

The family thinks that he is not learning and unskilled in making this thing, and he has lost the identity and face of the noble son, and he has not supported it.

Only Gu Tang, she always accompanies him, and sometimes teaches her how to carve, at that time he only felt that she was noisy, but now, he misses that feeling very much.

Shen Yufei opened a wooden box, there were two wooden figures in it, the woman's style was very exquisite, and you could see the vivid expression on her face, obedient and soft.

On the other hand, the wooden figure in the male style is particularly rough, and the facial features are crooked, which is carved by a novice at first glance.

He gently stroked the two puppets, his lowered eyes stained with sadness and a little regret.

How did it get to be the way it is?

"Childe, the gift is here."

Ah Liu's voice pulled Shen Yufei back to reality, he straightened his clothes, and walked out with a heavy heart.

Somewhere in the courtyard of the Shen Mansion.

"Miss, look at what else needs to be changed." The makeup lady stood aside respectfully.

Shen Yaoyao was trying on the makeup and hair for tomorrow's college entrance banquet, she looked at her face in the bronze mirror, her thin eyebrows were slightly twisted, she always felt that something was wrong, and thought about it for a while.

The gaze falls on the bun.

Shen Yaoyao's heart moved, took out the ruby hairpin sent by Shen Yufei from the box, and handed it to the makeup lady, "Replace the main hairpin on my head with it." ”

"Yes."

After a while, Shen Yaoyao looked at the changed bun before nodding with satisfaction, "Tomorrow will be as it is today." ”

Mama Zhao skillfully handed over a red envelope, "It's hard work, you can go back, remember to come on time tomorrow morning." ”

The makeup lady reversed the weight of the red seal, her mouth couldn't close with a smile, and she looked at Shen Yaoyao, "Thank you, Miss Six." ”

After going out, she immediately opened it and looked at it, and there were a few pieces of broken silver inside, which should have the appearance of two or three taels.

The makeup lady couldn't help but sigh, she had long heard that the sixth lady of the Shen family was favored, but she didn't expect the family to be so favored, and the red envelope she was given casually was a few taels of silver.

At this time, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a young man dressed in extraordinary clothes, and she quickly put away the silver and bowed her head to leave.

Inside.

Shen Yaoyao hugged Shen Yufei's arm, pretending to complain and actually coquettishly said: "Fifth brother, you are still willing to come to see Yaoyao, these days, have you forgotten that you have a sister."

A younger sister......

The smile on Shen Yufei's face faded, and when he was about to hand over the box in his hand, the girl's green silk, a hairpin inlaid with rubies suddenly broke into sight.

This gemstone, both in color and shape, is very similar to the one he gave to the jewelry shop.

However, he asked the shopkeeper to do a step shake, but Yaoyao was wearing a hairpin on her head at the moment.

Feeling her brother's hot gaze, Shen Yaoyao raised her eyes very shyly, "Fifth brother, I will go to the jewelry shop today, and the shopkeeper will send me back the things you ordered by the way." ”

"I thought it was a gift for me anyway, so I opened it in advance, and it was a little inconvenient to shake the step, so I changed the shopkeeper to a hairpin."

"Fifth brother, do I look good in it?"

Shen Yaoyao's eyes were bright and looking forward to being praised, also to maintain the relationship between the two, however, what she ushered in was the young man's angry response.

"Ahh

Shen Yaoyao exclaimed, the tingling pain in her scalp told her that this was not a dream, her fifth brother not only did not have her in stock, but also directly ripped off the hairpin on her head.

The rude movements hooked some hair, and the moment it was brought out, it pulled the scalp and caused pain.

Her eyes immediately turned red, "Fifth brother, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was already choked.
