Chapter 52: Shen Zuihuan just didn't treat him as his own
After Gu Changce left, Shen Zuihuan casually put the beautiful notebook on the table and didn't open it again.
I just found a travelogue from the bookshelf again.
I turned two pages, but I couldn't settle down no matter what.
His eyes always drifted on the notebook on the desk, intentionally or unintentionally.
After a while, she finally couldn't resist the temptation and let go of the memoir.
I opened the book of glamorous words.
I have to say that the words and sentences of the market yellow book are really bold.
After a while, Shen Zuihuan already felt that her face was hot, and she felt a little thirsty in her throat.
He put down the scroll, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.
Raising his eyes, he saw that it was getting dark outside, for fear that Gu Changce would come back early.
He hurriedly put the notebook back on the shelf.
She sat on the mahogany Taishi chair and rested for a while, feeling a little bored.
After a moment, he stood up again.
Rummage through the bookshelves to see if there are any other interesting things.
Suddenly, her gaze stopped on a small wooden box with exquisite workmanship.
The small wooden box is made of rosewood wrapped with gold wire, which looks rich and beautiful on the outside, but there is some wear and tear at the corners and corners.
It looks like it was many years ago.
Shen Zuihuan was a little curious.
He took the wooden box off the shelf.
The lid was opened, and it was found that there were two neat jade rings with similar patterns inside.
Her fingers twitched.
She is very familiar with the style of this jade chain.
On the night of her fourteenth birthday, Gu Changce's birthday gift to her was such a style of jade chain.
Suddenly the memory went back to one day when I was fourteen years old.
——
The late spring will rest, the vermilion window is half-open, and the rain is continuous.
Shen Mansion, Imperial Glory Hall.
In the third year of Yuanjia, the seventh day of the fourth month.
This day is Shen Zuihuan's fourteenth birthday, and she and Shen Qingtang are two years apart, although they are two years apart.
But it is extremely coincidental that the two were born on the same day.
Early in the morning, Wei Yuyu and Gu Changce brought her and Shen Qingtang to the Imperial Glory Hall.
Said to give them a birthday gift.
Naturally, the two little girls went away happily.
Wei Yuyu gave her a jade chain made of black jade and a golden hairpin for her sister.
And Gu Changce gave her a complete set of "Pearl Records" and gave her sister a "Spring Order".
The two little girls accepted the gifts, which was a matter of harmony and beauty.
But Qingtang was suddenly dissatisfied.
She couldn't hide her thoughts, so she said bluntly to Wei Yuyu: "Brother Yuyu is eccentric, so he only gave it to my sister Yu Lianhuan, not me." ”
When these words fell, everyone was a little embarrassed.
Wei Yuqiang explained to him with a smile: "Qingtang, where is Brother Yu eccentric, didn't he give you a golden hairpin?" ”
He originally thought that Shen Qingtang was just a child's temper, and wanted to coax a few words to calm people.
But he didn't expect Shen Qingtang to live or die: "The golden hairpin is cheesy when he looks at it, where can he compare with Yulian." ”
The more she talked about it, the more she felt wronged, her mother was usually partial to her sister at home, and she only watched her and her younger brother Shen Qingyou's homework strictly.
but spoiled and indulged his sister.
As for Gu Changce, he doesn't seem to be a good person, and Shen Qingtang doesn't have hope for him.
But I didn't expect that Brother Yuyu, who grew up together since childhood, was also an eccentric sister, and even the gifts given to my sister were more attentive than those given to her.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but reddened her eyes a little.
Tears fell in strings.
No matter how sleek Wei Yuyu is on weekdays, he was not very old that year after all.
As soon as he saw Shen Qingtang crying, he was a little panicked.
He opened his mouth, about to say something.
Shen Zuihuan and Shen Qingtang's father, Shen Jianzhang, walked in from the gate of the Imperial Glory Hall.
He saw Shen Qingtang crying, so he walked up to her and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Shen Qingtang sobbed and walked to her side in small steps, and told him about it.
Wei Yu's face was even more embarrassed.
But when Shen Jianzhang heard this, he laughed loudly.
"You girl, this little thing is worth crying like this? If you like Jade Lianhuan and change it with your sister, your eldest sister is much more sensible than you, and she will definitely not cry for this little thing. ”
Hearing this, Shen Qingtang pursed his lips with some displeasure.
And Shen Zuihuan also lowered his eyes, and his little face clenched the hem of his dress tightly.
Shen Zuihuan is sensible and good at reading on weekdays, and Shen Jianzhang is also trying his best to teach her.
But compared to the taciturn eldest daughter, he still prefers the younger daughter who dares to speak up.
The palms and backs of the hands are all meat, but the meat in the palms of the hands is more delicate than the meat on the backs of the hands.
Shen Jianzhang beckoned to Shen Zuihuan and said softly, "Huanhuan, come here." ”
Shen Zuihuan didn't move, but his eyes fell on Wei Yu, who was standing in front of him on his right, dressed in white and with a warm face.
Seeing this, Shen Jianzhang frowned slightly, and shouted again in a deep voice: "Huanhuan." ”
At this time, Shen Zuihuan's eyes were already half full of tears.
But she knew that once she walked over, her father would let her and her sister change.
She didn't like that jade chain much, but in this case, if she changed it with her sister, it would be different.
So her steps stayed where she was as if she had taken root.
His eyes were still fixed on the guard jade in front of him.
It was as if he hoped that he would stand up and say a few words for her.
After a tormenting silence.
Shen Jianzhang's face was a little unbearable.
At this time, Wei Yuyu stepped forward and shouted, "Uncle Shen." ”
Hearing this, there was immediately a moment of light blooming in Shen Zuihuan's eyes.
But I heard that he took all the fault on himself first: "Uncle Shen, this time it was not well considered, it stands to reason that Huanhuan and Tang Tang should have prepared quite a gift, but I was really sorry if I accidentally favored one over the other." ”
When these words fell, Shen Jianzhang's face softened slightly.
Wei Yuyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned around again for the sake of the big thing, and persuaded Shen Zuihuan: "Huanhuan, what Uncle said is right, you should let Tang Tang once today." Let's exchange with Tang Tang first, and next time, Brother Yu will send you a better one. ”
Hearing this, the light in Shen Zuihuan's eyes was extinguished in an instant.
Her eyes were red, and tears were about to fall, but she still pulled the corners of her mouth and pretended to smile and said, "...... Good. ”
At this time, Gu Changce, who was originally watching all this coldly, suddenly stood up coldly.
He wanted to say something, but was pulled by Shen Zuihuan's tearful eyes.
In a voice that only two people could hear, he said, "This is our family business, don't make trouble." ”
In fact, her original intention was not to let Gu Changce offend her father, after all, Shen Jianzhang is still his teacher.
But when Gu Changce heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
His cold eyes swirled around the Imperial Hall.
Suddenly, he chuckled, it turned out that there were people in the room, and Shen Zuihuan only didn't regard him as his own.
He lowered his eyes and pursed his thin moist lips, only to feel the infarction in his throat.
Shen Zuihuan took a deep breath and finally replaced the jade chain and his sister's golden hairpin.
The hall has returned to a harmonious atmosphere.
