4 Aliu
Shen Yansong laughed a few words with his friends, and saw that Gu Nanzhang said that he had something important to do, and the process of the summer banquet was almost over, so he didn't stay long.
When I went back to the study in the front yard, I picked off the flowers of the hairpin and threw it aside. But he thought of something again, and his movements paused slightly:
When he was just in the Cloud Crane Pavilion, he seemed to see the third sister in a blink of an eye. Today's third sister seems to be different from usual, but in this kind of banquet, the third sister must be the most outstandingly dressed.
To be honest, in the past, he looked down on some of the actions of the third sister, and the third sister deliberately showed some goodwill to him, but in fact, he did not let him get close to this sister from the heart.
Looking at the clothes today, it is ordinary, but it seems to have an indescribable bearing, which makes people feel inexplicably more cordial.
Shen Yanjiao, who was saluting in Yunhe Pavilion, suddenly felt a little itchy on the tip of her nose, and rubbed the tip of her nose casually. This move is inappropriate in front of the distinguished guests, but she lives again, and she doesn't care about this faux pas at all.
"This is the third girl?"
This little action was seen by the British Duchess, and her heart moved, and she beckoned to Shen Yanjiao with a smile, "Three girls come here, sit here-"
She first met Shen Yanrou and others, and was satisfied with the eldest girl of the Shen Mansion from the bottom of her heart: she has a soft temperament and is easy to handle.
It's just that she is choosing a wife for her stepson, not only does her family background help her stepson's development in the court, but she also wants her to be easy to handle, but if she is a daughter-in-law, although her temperament looks good, she is afraid of the identity of her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she has the support of her brother-in-law...... In case you look away, it's not good to pinch her stepmother in turn.
I've heard it before, there are only two suitable girls in this Shen Mansion, the eldest girl and the third girl. Although the two girls were born from the eldest son of the old lady of the Shen family who was outside Changzhou, they already had a marriage contract in the south.
This big girl doesn't need to say it, the third girl has heard people say before, she has a lot of thoughts, and she has to be strong, so she doesn't feel appropriate.
But this time, I saw it in person, and I felt that people's words may not be true. I can't see how much I pinch the tip to be strong in this kind of dress, and there are some small movements in front of people, and I look a little silly.
If she marries such a concubine home, wouldn't her stepmother be stable?
Thinking so, the British duchess smiled and beckoned Shen Yanjiao over, wanting to take a closer look.
Shen Yanjiao wondered in her heart, she didn't have this in her previous life, so she came over to see her in doubt.
Looking at the British duke in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: In his previous life, the British duke was the stepwife, but her subordinates were defeated, and the steplady who was fighting directly suffered a stroke and collapsed on the bed.
With the events of her previous life, at this time, she was bored with anyone in the British government, and she just wanted to hurry up to the salute here.
"What books did the girls read?"
The British duchess asked with a smile and Shen Yanjiao's hand.
Shen Yanjiao was suddenly wary of such intimacy with the Duchess of Guo. She knows the temperament of the stepwife of this country best, and people who don't like her will never give face like this.
I don't want to be in this life, I actually fell into her eyes.
Shen Yanjiao's eyes moved, but unfortunately, it was a pity that she was full of covetousness in her previous life, and she had already scoffed at her in this life.
"Nature is all the books of the sages,"
Thinking like this, Shen Yanjiao's voice was a little lazy and very soft, but it was a little alienated from the needle, "There are no other idle books in our house." β
The faces of the people in the British Mansion changed slightly, and the third young master of their National Mansion before was found to be idle in Taixue, and he was smiling and generous.
Is this a satire that she has no way to govern her family?
These three girls are really a thorn, and they are still a brainless thorn who speaks indiscriminately regardless of the occasion.
Such a person is afraid that he will not know that he will cause trouble in the circle of nobles, and he will never enter her British mansion.
"Excellent......
As soon as she thought of this, the British duchess suppressed her annoyed skin and let go of Shen Yanjiao's hand, "The third girl is also excellent." β
Shen Yanjiao's voice was very low before, and the rest of the people didn't hear it clearly.
Seeing that the Duchess of Guo let go of Shen Yanjiao's hand, she didn't say much cordial, and Mama Jin, who had been looking at Shen Yanjiao coldly, breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart: In the end, it is a concubine, there is a concubine, how can the Guogong Mansion take a fancy to a concubine?
She thought that Shen Yanjiao would definitely deliberately dress up and overwhelm the girl. Therefore, with the face of the old lady in the house, she also followed Yunhe Pavilion to say that she was serving, but she was actually going to look at the situation and mention the eldest girl.
But who knew that the third girl didn't, but she couldn't see through it.
The old lady of the Shen Mansion was full of smiles, she was very satisfied with the success of the summer banquet this time, and the performance of her granddaughters today. If a marriage is made in the British government later, it will be a beautiful thing.
After sending off the guests, the old lady leaned on the pillow, and the girl next to her gently hammered her legs. There were no outsiders, and the old lady looked at the second lady Shen, who was in charge of the Shen family at this time.
This second Mrs. Shen is the wife of her second son Shen Ke, her eldest son Shen Yan, and now the family is outside Changzhou, only his only daughter Shen Yanwan stays in the capital and takes care of her upbringing with several other granddaughters.
Since the eldest son has no male heir, the main vein of the Shen family has actually fallen on his second son Shen Ke, so on the Shen Mansion's side, it is the second lady Shen who is in charge.
Seeing the old lady looking over, Second Lady Shen understood, looked at the children with a smile and said with a smile: "I've been busy preparing for the summer banquet for the past two days, and I haven't bothered to tell you another good thingββ"
"What is Mother going to say?"
Shen Yanrou looked at her mother and asked with a gentle smile.
"It's the eldest princess of Pingle,"
Second Mrs. Shen glanced at her biological daughter dotingly, and said with a smile, "In a few days it will be her fiftieth birthday, this birthday is specially purchased in Fuping Mountain, where she gave her royal gift of Pingshan Beiye, invited our family to come over, you all go back and prepare well, the royal nobles, don't lose your dignity." β
The banquet of the eldest princess of Pingle, it was a noble family. The connections that I made will also expand a lot, and it is a rare opportunity.
In previous years, their Shen family actually didn't have this dignity. But last year, Shen Ke's official position was promoted again, and this year, on the birthday of the eldest princess, they were invited to the Shen family.
After Second Mrs. Shen finished speaking, everyone was overjoyed. Shen Yanjiao smiled, not disappointing her fun in front of everyone at this time. She will definitely not go to this banquet.
It's not that the eldest princess is bad, but in this life, she wants to stay to save her younger brother. In the previous life, she owed too many people, and she made up for them one by one.
When the sisters dispersed, Shen Yanjiao deliberately left behind, and then whispered to Second Mrs. Shen: "Mother, I won't go this time?" β
"Why?"
At this moment, not only Mrs. Shen, but even the old lady and the grandmothers around her were taken aback. This is a great opportunity, and the three girls actually gave it up?
"Ah Liu has been unwell these days,"
Shen Yanjiao looked at the old lady and explained softly, "I don't feel at ease when I go, and I'm afraid that I will be restless and bump into the nobleman." β
"Aliu?"
The second lady who was in charge of the house opened her mouth first, glanced at Shen Yanjiao with a little surprise, and hurriedly looked at the old lady and said, "He is weak, and he has always let him live well." I have been a little wheezing for the past two days, and I have asked someone to ask Lang Zhong to take a look at him, saying that it is no big problem, and it will be calmed down after taking a few pills. β
After speaking, Second Lady Shen couldn't help but look at Shen Yanjiao again.
She was really surprised:
Don't say anything else, being able to say the word "Ah Liu" from Shen Yanjiao's mouth was enough to surprise her.
Ah Liu is Shen Yanliu, Shen Yanjiao's younger brother, and they were both born to the deceased Aunt Su.
Speaking of Shen Yanliu, the fourth young master of the Shen family, even she, the housewife, felt pity: Shen Yanliu was smart and lovely when she was a child, and Aunt Su was like a treasure back then.
It's a pity that when Shen Yanliu was five years old, he was sick, and after he got well, he was lame, and he was lame even if the gods couldn't cure him. This leg is so lame that it is almost equivalent to breaking the career.
The competitive Aunt Su first cried to death, probably feeling hopeless, and then as if she was crazy, she actually used this lame son as a cylinder to vent her anger. Listening to the servants in her courtyard, Aunt Su scolded and pinched Shen Yanliu behind her back......
At that time, she, the housewife, couldn't see it, and wanted to take the child over to raise her, but Aunt Su cried in front of her husband and even forced her to die, so she had no choice but to let go.
Although Aunt Su died of illness after two or three years, the little Shen Yanliu was made into a timid and cowardly character.
When it was time to go to the school, Shen Yanliu was ridiculed by the children of the clan as a loner, and his temperament was unpleasant.
And the third girl, Shen Yanjiao, seems to have been affected by Aunt Su's attitude towards Shen Yanliu back then, when she was young, she first regarded her younger brother as a treasure, and later, she didn't mention the word "Ah Liu" in her mouth.
In the past few years, I have never heard of the third girl thinking about Shen Yanliu, even Shen Yanliu's birthday and illness...... Which of these three girls have used their hearts?
