21 Temptation

It was getting late, and the three brothers and sisters came out of Heyan Hall together.

Shen Tingjun was the first to walk to the door, he looked at his delicate and short sister behind him, "Big brother sent you back?" ”

Shen Yuyao's head shook like a rattle, and she smiled flatteringly, "No, no, big brother, you've been tired for a day, you go back to the room to rest first." I have two words I want to ask the third brother, and when I finish asking, I will go back to sleep. ”

Shen Tinglan was a little confused, and he didn't know what his sister was going to ask. He is also in a hurry to go back to the room, after all, he has been away from home for half a year, and his wife and young children are missed.

However, my sister is also biological, since my sister has something to ask, can he ignore it?

Shen Tinglan said, "Big brother, go back first, and I'll send Yao'er later." ”

"Okay."

Shen Tingjun responded, and told the two not to be too late, so he took Cheng Ying and turned around and strode out.

Shen Yuyao and Shen Tinglan looked at the direction of the eldest brother walking in the front yard, and they both frowned.

Shen Tinglan: "The things of the Evergreen County Lord have been moved, and the Songbai Courtyard has also returned to the appearance of the eldest brother before he got married. Everything is the same as before, why is the eldest brother still unwilling to go back to live? ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Shen Yuyao's little head had a big sorrow, she was depressed, her eyebrows and eyes drooped, "The eldest brother doesn't get married, and he doesn't look at each other, I don't know if he still thinks about the Evergreen County Lord." Two days ago, my mother told me that if the eldest brother still has an interest in the Lord of Evergreen, she will let people go over and say peace......"

"Nope."

Shen Tinglan frowned slightly, "It's hard to collect the water, and it's hard to round the broken mirror." The eldest brother and the Evergreen County Lord have no fate, and they are all torture together. Don't worry about the eldest brother's family affairs, how old are you, you just follow the blind mix......"

"I'm not involved, it's my mother's ......"

Shen Tinglan sighed heavily, "I'll talk to my mother about this tomorrow." In short, the Evergreen County Lord is definitely not good! The eldest brother is not a person who will eat back grass, and since the two sides have broken off their friendship, it is best not to be involved again. ”

In fact, Shen Yuyao also felt that what the third brother said made sense, but the eldest brother didn't see each other for a long time, and her mother was very anxious. As an intimate little padded jacket, she inevitably had to listen to a few words of her mother's complaints, which caused her to be anxious about her eldest brother's lifelong event.

She's having a hard time, too.

God knows that she is an unmarried girl, and she has to worry about her eldest brother's family affairs, is she very troubled?

Shen Tinglan spoke again, his tone still gentle, "You said you had something to say to the third brother, let's talk while we go." This road is so long, there are enough words for you. ”

Shen Yuyao was stabbed in the arm by Linlang - she still doesn't know what this girl means?

I just think it's too unreliable for her to ask the third brother to inquire about the discord between Cousin Sang and the third sister-in-law. But it's all at this time, what's the matter? Besides, she is not stupid, she just wants to find out something, and that can't let the third brother know her true intentions.

Shen Yuyao: "The third sister-in-law's cousin came to the house as a guest a few days ago, did the sister-in-law and the third brother talk about this?" I saw that the third brother brought a lot of earthen instruments today, should I also send some to the Rose Garden? Is it better to let my sister-in-law send it over, or is it better for me to come forward and go there myself? ”

Shen Tinglan paused.

As if he hadn't heard Shen Yuyao's last two questions, he only frowned and asked, "You said that your third sister-in-law's cousin only came to the house a few days ago?" ”

Shen Yuyao nodded and counted with her fingers, "Cousin Sang has been at home for ten days. ”

Shen Tinglan's brows were twisted into a pimple, and the expression on his face was a little heavy.

He couldn't tell his sister, and the day before his school trip, he happened to hear his wife and brocade talking about Cousin Sang's cousin outside the door. Cousin Sang's situation was too difficult, thinking of his wife's compassion and his love for his younger siblings, in order to prevent his wife from having trouble opening her mouth, he took the lead in proposing that he could use the power of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an to suppress people and rescue Cousin Sang from the tiger and wolf's den first.

Originally, he didn't take this matter to heart, but he just cherished his wife and couldn't bear her to do it. And the lady bowed her head at that time, and said many words of gratitude. In this case, how could it take half a year to bring Cousin Sang, who was deep in the mud, to the house?

Intuition told Shen Tinglan that something was wrong.

But he didn't want to pursue it more, after all, the person had already been picked up from the Wang family. Since the result is good, and the matter has come to this, it is useless for him to pursue it,

But soon, Shen Tinglan remembered what his sister had said, "The cousin of the Sang family lives in Rose Garden? ”

As the son of the Hou Mansion, and the youngest son of Mrs. Hou, Shen Tinglan was naughty and naughty when he was young, and the old lady was often annoyed and chased after him with a stick to beat him. There was no place in the Hou Mansion that he hadn't been, and he naturally knew what the Rose Garden was.

Shen Yuyao nodded "ignorant and innocent", "Yes, I came out of Rose Garden after visiting Cousin Sang today, and I happened to meet the third brother around there." I am the first person in the house to see the third brother, for the sake of our brother and sister's fate, third brother, can you give me two more pieces of jewelry that you brought back today? ”

Shen Tinglan responded casually, "It's for you." Another question also blurted out, "Is it the yard that Uncle Shen arranged for Cousin Sang?" ”

Shen Yuyao lowered her head and rolled her eyes.

Look, the third brother's first reaction was exactly the same as hers.

But it's also excusable, after all, who would think about their family, even more so their lover, to a place where they can't bear it?

And I have to say that although Zhou Baolu is not likable in front of them, she is gentle and lovely, virtuous and virtuous in front of the third brother.

The third brother was fascinated by her talent, character, and appearance, so he abandoned the Li family, who had already reached a consensus on marriage, and turned his head to marry Zhou Baolu.

In his heart, Zhou Baolu is simply the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty. If the third brother admits that Zhou Baolu is actually a woman with a small amount of energy, who is eager to repay and fake, then the image she created before her as a loving sister, virtuous and virtuous, and beautiful and wise will completely collapse.

This is not only broken, Zhou Baolu's perfect image in the third brother's heart, but also proves that the third brother's original choice may be very wrong - Zhou Baolu is not a pure and flawless mountaintop snow, she is a deep mind, fine and calculating mud in the pool, how can the third brother bear to be so fooled?

Shen Yuyao looked at the third brother timidly, and retreated a little. Shen Tinglan still stared at her, his eyes were burning, and he didn't allow her to dodge in the slightest.

"Tell me, was the yard arranged by Uncle Shen, or was it arranged by your third sister-in-law?"

Shen Yuyao still wanted to struggle, so she was coquettish, "Then who knows." Third brother, I'm also busy every day, okay? I've started to learn housekeeping with my mother, how can I have so much free time to care about those things that I don't have? ”

Shen Tinglan's heart fell straight down, but he laughed on his face, "You don't have time to care about who allocated Cousin Sang's yard to her, do you have the leisure to care about whether it is appropriate for you to send her the soil ceremony, or is it more appropriate for your third sister-in-law to go over?" ”

Shen Yuyao felt that her careful thinking seemed to be spied on by the third brother in an instant, and she was very depressed. What she wanted to hear didn't come out at all, but it was the third brother, who almost dug her up.

Fortunately, in the end, it was my brother, and I saved her a little face, and I didn't ask endlessly about this matter. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "Why didn't my aunt and cousin Xiuwen come to dinner today?" ”

Speaking of this, Shen Yuyao has too much to say.

saw that as soon as she turned around the decadent Tang just now, she described the scene of that day with a small mouth. focuses on her eldest brother's unkindness, rejection, and coldness, and the second focuses on her aunt's crying and crying like a lightning strike, and Xiuwen's cousin's shame and indignation......

She said with great interest, and Shen Tinglan listened silently. It wasn't until he sent his sister to Hanxiangju, where she lived, that he spoke, "It's too late, if you have anything to say tomorrow, let's go back and rest first." ”

Seeing his sister enter the courtyard, Shen Tinglan stood in place for a long time before taking heavy steps and turning back.

His long, thin figure slowly melted into the dark night, and at this moment it seemed lonely and depressed, languishing and melancholy. It seems that the backbone that has always supported him has been withdrawn, and it seems that life is vast, but he suddenly loses the direction of travel.
