Chapter 22: The Lights Fade (5)
Shen Yu was a little disappointed when he saw her indifferent attitude.
He is the son-in-law of the Guogong Mansion, with a noble status and a dignified appearance. In the past, it was the most popular one wherever I went. Like the Marquis Mansion of Wuyang, the Mansion of Anguo, the Mansion of Zhongweibo, and even the most prominent Uncle Liu Guo's Mansion at the moment, when he goes, it will attract a lot of girls to watch. He knew that they were hiding behind the screens, hiding among the flowers, looking at him through those little gaps, discussing him in low voices, and occasionally blushing, ashamed and squirming when he touched them. If he said a few words to them, their eyes would light up with excitement.
He enjoyed the way they looked at him, treating each of them equally, without transgressing the rules or being cold and unforgiving.
And in Shu Yao's place, in the eyes she looked at him, he couldn't see the look he was used to, he could feel her alienation and coldness towards him.
Why? He thought about it and felt that it should be because she didn't know him well enough, and when she got familiar with him and understood him, she would definitely be like other girls.
Thinking of this, he still smiled and said to Shu Yao:
"My sister has arrived in Jingshi, and she hasn't gone out for a walk yet, has she? One day I wanted to go out, so I sent someone to find me, and I took my sister out. The food of Daxiangguo Temple has always been famous, and it's a pity that my sister doesn't try it. ”
Shu Yao is not very accustomed to his excessive enthusiasm, and he has only known each other for a short time, so he wants to go out together? I was a little annoyed by his abruptness, and the smile on his face was much lighter, and he reluctantly said:
"Thank you for your kindness. Doesn't the second master still have to go to school? ”
At the mention of this, Shen Yu showed some pride on his face and said with a smile:
"Mr. knows that I have almost learned the four books, so I won't worry about it for a while."
A meritorious son like him, in fact, it is not important to learn these things, and he does not follow the path of the imperial examination, but just to learn and become famous-this is also the original intention of Mrs. Jiang to invite him to Mr.
Now that he has a name, he doesn't have to work so hard anymore. It's just that I didn't go to school all day, so that Mrs. Jiang knew that it was not good in the end, and Shen Yu was not short of delay here, so he had to say goodbye to Shu Yao:
"Sister, go back, I'll go to school. In the future, if my sister needs anything, just tell me, don't be polite. ”
Shu Yao smiled, didn't speak, only bowed his head and saluted him, and saw him walk past her, so he got up and looked back.
Shen Yu took a small servant, and the master and servant walked quickly, and soon disappeared on the path.
Shu Yao's face fell, sighed lightly, turned around and pulled Liu's mother to go to Yulan Courtyard together.
After going back, Shu Ya asked about the situation in Gantang Courtyard, and Shu Yao picked up important things. Speaking of Shen Junzhuo, Shu Ya smiled, she said:
"Uncle Nine is a cold-faced and warm-hearted person. Your brother-in-law told me that when I was a child, your brother-in-law's aunt went early, and she was raised in front of the old lady. Uncle Nine is three years older than your brother-in-law, and the two grew up together. Later, when the grandfather of the old country passed away, your brother-in-law came out to follow his wife. ”
Shu Yao listened to it and calculated in her heart that her brother-in-law was two years older than her sister, and her sister was three years older than her, so in this case, this ninth uncle would be eight years older than her, and he would only be twenty-three years old this year. can look at the momentum on his body, where can he have at this age. His eyes were sharp, and his whole body was cold, and wherever he stopped, he seemed to become the master of any place.
Shu Yao hugged the cup, pouted slightly, and said:
"Sister, I'm a little afraid of him!"
Shu Ya stroked her shoulder and said:
"At first, I was afraid of him, but then I found out that he was very good, so I was not afraid of him. The momentum on his body is intimate. But we don't need to be close to him. ”
Later, when she talked about Shen Yu, Shu Yao said that on the way back, she met Shen Yu waiting for her again, and Shu Ya's heart suddenly became nervous. Shen Yu is a fragrant and sweet in the Beijing Division, with good looks, good background, and some talents, it is inevitable that he has become the preferred son-in-law of many girls to be married in the Beijing Division. Now that Shen Yu is so interested in his sister, he is creating a chance encounter and giving oranges, so it is difficult to guarantee that his sister will not be tempted.
She looked at Shu Yao's expression and said:
"The second master is not very close to our courtyard, I don't know what happened recently, and I have the meaning of coming and going."
Shu Jiao's face was a little impatient, and he said:
"Why are the people in Jingshi so unruly? He actually said today that he was going to take me to Daxiangguo Temple, and there was no elder to accompany him, what is going on? ”
Seeing Shu Yao say this, Shu Ya was relieved, and said with a slight smile:
"Just ignore him, and stay away when you see him in the future."
The two sisters gossiped again, and before they knew it was lunchtime. Mother Xu took someone to set up a meal, and there was a steamed sea bass in it, ordinary people couldn't smell anything, but Shu Ya began to gag when she saw it, which provoked Shu Yao and Mother Liu to quickly hold the spittoon.
In a moment of chaos, Chun Tao hurriedly asked people to take the perch out. Shu Ya retched for a while, rinsed a few mouthfuls of water, and took a green plum in her mouth before slowly calming down. Mother Xu was a little flustered, stood at a loss, and apologized vigorously, saying that she had forgotten the taboo of the grandmother at this time because she had neglected for a while.
Shu Yao glanced at her and didn't speak. Shu Ya waved her hand at her, only saying that it was okay.
After eating, Shu Yao caressed Shu Ya and slowly dispersed a few times in the center of the ground, slightly eliminating her appetite, and then let her lie down and rest again.
Because Mrs. Yu lives in the East Mansion, which is a little far away from where everyone in the house lives, Mrs. Yu saves everyone from fainting. In the second half of the day, Shu Yao made needlework and made a pair of cute tiger head shoes for his unborn nephew, and the time passed quickly.
Shu Ya discussed with her again, in addition to going to ask Mrs. Yu for peace tomorrow, she should also go to Mrs. Jiang's proud residence.
Shu Yao didn't have anything, and responded one by one. Just thinking that he might meet that ninth uncle again in Gantang Courtyard, he was a little stunned. I thought I wouldn't be able to go so early on the second day, so I guess I wouldn't be able to meet it.
Thinking so, I got up late the next day. Liu's mother didn't know the inside story, and when she saw that she was unhurried in her makeup, she didn't want to urge her too tightly. Shu Yao rubbed for a while, estimated that the hour was almost up, and then went out with Liu's mother.
I've been thinking all the way, I shouldn't be able to meet this time, right? But if you meet it again, if you meet it, you will be polite and polite, and you will not say anything. Thinking so crankily, Liu's mother urged again, and Shu Yao lowered her head and hurried forward. When she was about to arrive at Gantang Courtyard, Liu's mother suddenly exclaimed:
"Second Miss!"
Shu Jiao was excited, but he still didn't have time to stop his steps, his head hit a hard thing, a faint incense of agarwood floated into his nostrils, and when he looked up, he was terrible, he was afraid of something, and he met him outside Gantang Courtyard!
