1 Warmth

Next Chapter

The warm breeze moistened the fragrance of summer lotus leaves, and the warmth that had never been felt for decades warmed Shen Yanjiao's already cold heart for a while.

She had already closed her eyes and was waiting for death, Huo Ran opened her eyes.

In front of her is the familiar and unfamiliar Shenfu Garden, or when she was not out of the pavilion, the flowers and trees are delicate, delicate and chic. This piece of the Qing Lotus Garden is when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, the green lotus leaves are verdant, and the lotus flowers picked up on it are as fresh and tender as she was in the scorching years at that time.

Shen Yanjiao only felt in a trance, what was going on?

She was obviously about to die, and she was still listening to the pretended cries of her children and grandchildren on the hospital bed, and listening to the people whispering that a beautiful concubine had just entered her husband's room...... When my heart is cold, why did I suddenly go to the garden of my childhood home?

Are you already standing on the lookout platform, looking back at the past?

There is a person in front of her who is facing away from her to enjoy the flowers, isn't that Tingting's back her sister Shen Yanrou?

Shen Yanjiao's heart jumped: she remembered this incident, it was she who lured her sister to the lotus garden at that time, and pushed her sister into the lotus pond while she was unprepared. Then she deliberately shouted to save people, and the gentleman she designed to lure over heard about it, and jumped into the water to rescue her sister.

It is precisely because of this that Sister Chang has a bad reputation, not to mention the person who married low, and after marriage, she was even more tormented and ended up depressed.

Tears welled up in Shen Yanjiao's eyes: back then, she was like crazy and jealous of Sister Yan, not only robbed Sister Yan of the person who might have been married, but also calculated that the family was jumping ...... In fact, as she got older, she felt more and more regretful.

But when it was too late, the mistakes she made were like a wedge hammered by God in her heart, and this wedge could not be pulled out, and her rotten heart and intestines were all the same hopeless.

As soon as she thought of this, Shen Yanjiao closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw that she had stretched out her hands behind her sister-in-law, exactly the same situation as back then.

No.

Don't push.

Shen Yanjiao was still a little in a trance, but she no longer refused to let go of herself and push her hands over. Even if all this in front of her was just a phantom of the past that Wangxiangtai saw, she would never want this scene to repeat the mistakes of the past.

She subconsciously withdrew her hands, but she didn't expect them to really withdraw. But her figure that had already leaned forward couldn't be restrained, and she staggered a few steps uncontrollably towards the lotus pond.

Seeing that she was about to crash into Sister Yan, Shen Yanjiao didn't know where she got the strength, so she turned around.

"Poof!"

Without waiting for Shen Yanjiao to react, the whole person had already stuck to Sister Yan's side and fell into the lotus pond.

For a moment, the cool water of the pond filled Shen Yanjiao's mouth and nose, and it felt too real, not like the phantom of the Wangxiang Terrace that she thought she was dying.

In the flash of light, Shen Yanjiao's chaotic consciousness instantly sobered up: she, she, she turned out to be alive again!

"Third sister, third sister—"

At this time, Shen Yanrou was startled, and when she saw her sister fall into the lotus pond, she blurted out exclaim.

"I'm fine,"

Shen Yanjiao also reacted quickly, and immediately struggled out of the water, and quickly interrupted Shen Yanjiao, "Sister, don't call people." ”

The lotus pond is not deep, especially near the shore, but the mud underneath is slippery.

When her sister-in-law fell into the lotus pond, in fact, if she didn't have that kind of squirrel, she could still struggle...... It's just that it's all her calculations, and she deliberately shouted for help, so that Na Yan didn't wait for Shen Yanrou to struggle out, and jumped in first.

"Third sister, third sister, be careful."

Shen Yanrou was so anxious that she was about to reach out to pull Shen Yanrou as she spoke. However, seeing that the water was not deep, she didn't shout anymore, she knew the stakes.

There is a banquet in the house today, although it stands to reason that there will be no outsiders in the lotus garden here, but the rules in the house are big, and they really want to be known by the grandmothers and girls in the house.

What's more, she and her third sister came here this time, and they didn't bring the girls around them. At that time, the girls will inevitably receive a punishment for dereliction of duty.

"Shhhh

At this time, Shen Yanrou had already heard faint footsteps.

She knew that the gentleman she had designed was already nearby.

"Shhhhhh

Shen Yanjiao hurriedly looked at her sister with an anxious face, and said softly, "I'll hide, and my sister will hide quickly." ”

didn't have time to climb ashore, she simply picked up the lotus leaf and walked a few steps deep into the lotus leaf, and soon the dense lotus leaf covered her petite figure.

Shen Yanrou watched the third sister hide worriedly, and she also heard footsteps. It was a little heavy, not like the sound of a woman's footsteps, and she hurriedly hid behind the rockery.

Soon, a young man in gorgeous clothes came over next to an old apricot tree over there, walked over and looked here a few times, and saw that there was no one there, and frowned in confusion: his sister had told him before, saying that the three girls of the Shen Mansion had mentioned that several girls in the Shen Mansion liked the lotus pond, and often quietly ran to the lotus pond to play recklessly, and sometimes even wet their shoes and socks......

He remembered it in his heart, and deliberately came here pretending to be drunk when he came to the Shen Mansion for a banquet, just to find a chance to kiss Fang Ze. After all, who doesn't know, all the girls of the Shen family are big beauties.

Besides, it was clear that his sister-in-law had just asked someone to quietly deliver a letter to him, saying that he saw two girls leaving the flower club over there, and they were about to go to the lotus garden. Who wants to see a figure without seeing it, and can't help but be disappointed, he obviously heard a little movement before, did he hear it wrong?

"Meow~Meow~"

Just then, a kitten meowed and ran out of the grass over there, and saw a butterfly swooping down again.

"It's a cat!"

The man snorted, regretting in his heart, afraid that he would not be able to explain it to someone after a long delay here, so he had no choice but to turn around and go back to the bluestone path.

"Third sister, third sister, no one-"

Seeing that this person was far away, he waited a little longer to make sure that no one was there, Shen Yanrou hurriedly returned to the shore and called Shen Yanrou softly.

Shen Yanjiao struggled to climb ashore, ignoring the wet clothes on her body, brushed a strand of black silk that was scattered, and raised her eyes to look at her sister Shen Yanrou.

It was about the previous nervousness, and because of the effort to drag her ashore, at this time, Sister Yan's cheeks were dyed a little red, which was more gentle and beautiful, and more ...... It's true.

A really vivid sister-in-law.

A life that really starts all over again.

"Third sister?"

Shen Yanrou, who was helping Shen Yanjiao twist the wet clothes on her body, noticed that the third sister's expression was wrong in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help but wonder, "Falling into the lotus pond, scared, right?" Don't be so naughty in the future. ”

"That's great!"

Without waiting for the surprised Shen Yanrou to respond, Shen Yanjiao opened her arms and hugged Sister Yan tightly, her voice was a little choked, "It's so good, big sister, it's so good......"

Shen Yanjiao hugged very tightly.

She stumbled and was lonely in the dark night, and at this moment, it was like grasping a life-saving straw.

The past life is gone, and this life is coming back.

"Meow...... Meow~"

The kitten jumped down from the lake stone next to it with a butterfly in its mouth, threw the butterfly in front of Shen Yanjiao, meowed a few times, and her little eyes were shining as if she was asking for credit.

Shen Yanjiao still had tears on her face, but she couldn't help laughing. For the first time, for the first time, I felt that the kittens who were so disgusted in my previous life were so kind and cute.

"Look frightened, this is crying and laughing,"

Shen Yanrou hurriedly reassured, "Mama Jin should have come here, don't be afraid, it's easy to talk about it when she comes over." ”

Mama Jin is her nurse, treat her the most affectionate and strictest, this cat was raised by Mama Jin, probably because Mama Jin couldn't see her at the flower party over there, and found here. Otherwise, the cat had always been timid, and rarely went out of her yard herself.

Sure enough, Mama Jin came over. Seeing the appearance of the two sisters, she was startled, and when Shen Yanrou finished speaking, Mama Jin nodded, quietly went back to get her clothes, and took the two of them to the tea room that an old lady took care of here, and quickly changed into clothes.

This dry dress is Shen Yanrou's clothes taken by Mama Jin, Shen Yanjiao is wearing a little loose, but fortunately, it is finally decent.

"Big girl, third girl, now that you've changed your wet clothes, go back and freshen up again and come out again,"

After Shen Yanjiao changed into dry clothes, Mama Jin replied to the two of them with a smile, "Madame asked the girls to go to the flower hall, and several Mrs. Jiake are drinking tea over there——"

After that, she looked at Shen Yanrou and smiled meaningfully.

Shen Yanrou blushed.

Listening to Mama Jin's words and looking at the shy sister-in-law, Shen Yanjiao's memory became clearer and clearer:

She knew the meaning of this Mama Jin's words.

In fact, today's summer party is a small gathering held in various prefectures in the summer.

The name of enjoying the flowers and cooling off is actually an opportunity to get acquainted with each other. Especially when there are children in the family who are properly married, it is an opportunity for each family to look at each other.

See the person who is in love with your children a few times, and be more familiar with the other party's temperament and character. Otherwise, it would be a bit hasty to rely on only one side.

This time, the Shen Mansion held a summer party for Shen Yanrou's marriage. The well-informed ladies in the capital all know that there is a fourth son in the British Mansion, Gu Nanzhang, and when it is time to get married, he is probably interested in marrying the Shen Mansion.

Thinking of Gu Nanzhang, Shen Yanjiao's heart trembled again:

In her previous life, she calculated her sister-in-law, just for this person.

At that time, she had already heard that this Gu Nanzhang was the concubine of the British government, and his mother died of dystocia as soon as he was born. When he was seven or eight years old, the Duchess of England died, and later the Duchess of England remarried. This stepwife had no choice, so she raised Gu Nanzhang under her own name.

In this way, in addition to the eldest brother-in-law born to the British duchess before, Gu Nanzhang's identity is more noble than the second and third brothers, who are also concubines.

In addition, Gu Nanzhang's life is incomparably clear, and he is talented, he is one of the famous three sons of Kyoto, and he has attracted many girls to reverie.

Although the Shen family is not as noble as the British prince, but the family is also heroic, the grandfather of the Shen family was a master and an uncle, not to mention that her father also served in the Taixue Academy, and there are many protégés, so the Shen family is also a pure family with profound heritage.

Marrying low and marrying high, if a girl from a noble family like their Shen family marries into a British government, it cannot be said that they are not worthy.

Moreover, the British public lineage, in this dynasty, actually tends to decline, and is eager to seek a family marriage with strong connections in the DPRK. Their Shen family is actually the most suitable marriage target for the British duke.

In her previous life, she saw this. After Sister Yan was calculated, although she Shen Yanjiao was a concubine, the British government still married.

But even if she got this person and got the title of the fourth young lady of the British Princess, she even tried her best to frame the British prince and put her husband on the throne...... And how?

In this life, forget it.

I don't want to see that cold-hearted man anymore, and I don't want to let my soul stink in that cold high hall room.

"Mama Jin, then I'll go back and change my clothes,"

Thinking of this, Shen Yanjiao gathered her chaotic mind, and said with a smile after thanking Mama Jin, "Mama quickly take the eldest sister back to clean up, I just soiled the eldest sister's clothes." ”

Mama Jin smiled and nodded, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

Seeing Shen Yan's delicate back out of sight, he turned to Shen Yanrou and said solemnly in a low voice: "Girl, the third girl is very important, didn't I mention it to you in the past, why did you go to the Lotus Garden alone with her today?" ”

She is Shen Yanjiao's nurse, and she is also an old man in the house, which one of them is not a human spirit mixed up in this house?

These three girls act differently from the girls in the house, their appearance is the most outstanding, but they are heavy-minded and mean, and the eldest girl of her family does not know how many hidden losses she has suffered on weekdays.

"The third sister called me,"

Shen Yanrou smiled gently, "She is rare in kindness, knowing that I have no interest in painting today, she specially brought me to enjoy the lotus - Mama don't worry, they are all her own sisters, I'm fine, but she fell into the lotus pond." ”

"The eldest girl is still a little more honest,"

Mama Jin hated that iron could not become steel, "A few days ago, the third girl heard that she had taken out her body, and specially asked someone to get a set of clothes from the Cloud Embroidery Pavilion, and I heard that the material was a kind of yarn from the West, and it was as beautiful as the colorful clouds in the sky - it must be for the sake of meeting the distinguished guests and ladies today." ”

Today's summer feast, before the afternoon, the ladies drink tea together, and the girls play in a flower party. Not to mention the girls of the Shen family, even the girls from other families who came to the banquet brought more than one set of clothes. Everyone knows in their hearts that the main drama is behind.

The eldest girl in front of her has always been kind-hearted and soft-faced, the relationship in the British government is complicated, and she really became the housemother over there, and the eldest girl's temperament is really going to suffer, so she can only mention more.

The three girls had better compete for the top, but I am afraid that today they want to use that dress to overwhelm their eldest girls.
