18 Extravagance

It's noon.

Shen Hanshuang's uncle has been handling business in other places recently, Ming Shuxue just wants to stay by Shen Hanshuang's side, and the old lady is already in her old age.

The Ming family's business in Luoyang City needs to be taken care of by Ming Shubai.

After sending back the scripts and snails for Shen Hanshuang and Ming Shuxue, Ming Shubai went to work again.

Shen Hanshuang took Ming Shuxue into her bedroom and gave her most of the snail Dai. It is convenient and good-looking to use it to draw eyebrows, which is suitable for a little girl of Ming Shuxue's age.

Ming Shuxue was still reluctant to accept it: "Cousin, I don't need so many ......"

Shen Hanshuang pretended to be serious and said, "If you refuse again, my cousin will be angry." ”

Ming Shuxue hurriedly stopped talking and quietly turned her head to look at Shen Hanshuang's expression.

Seeing her cautious appearance, Shen Hanshuang sighed silently in her heart, and asked softly: "Are you afraid of me, or because I don't have a surname, you see me outside and don't treat me as a family member?" ”

The tip of Ming Shuxue's nose was sour, and she hurriedly said: "My sister has always treated me very well, how can Shuxue be afraid of my sister, and how can she not treat my sister as a family member?" ”

She paused, her voice lowered, "I'm just worried that I'm not good enough for my sister." ”

Shen Hanshuang said softly: "You are the youngest child in the family, how can you need to take care of me in turn?" ”

Ming Shuxue didn't speak, only shook her head with red eyes.

Shen Hanshuang vaguely guessed something.

But seeing that there were tears in Ming Shuxue's eyes, and she didn't fall until she endured it, Shen Hanshuang didn't continue to ask, and persuaded softly: "Although the family should treat it sincerely, it doesn't mean that you should endure it everywhere and wronged yourself." ”

"If you give me everything, no matter how good it is, I won't be able to use it at ease."

Ming Shuxue lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.

"Accompany me to the city tomorrow to buy a few clothes?" Shen Hanshuang proposed again.

"Okay." Ming Shuxue immediately agreed.

Mingshuxue has a bright temperament and looks beautiful, and she originally liked those bright and beautiful skirts.

But when she came back this time, Shen Hanshuang found that Ming Shuxue seemed to be imitating her dressing preferences in recent years, intentionally or unintentionally, and her clothes were changed to light pigments.

Ming Shuxue may have learned about that old incident somewhere, so she was so cautious.

I have to untie this knot in her heart as soon as possible.

Following.

In the hot summer, Shen Hanshuang and Ming Shuxue went out early, wanting to go home before the hottest time of the day.

The southern, northern, and western markets of the city are all bordered by canals where boats can be traveled, and they are crowded with tourists every day. Today, Shen Hanshuang and Ming Shuxue went to the largest Nanshi.

The Ming family naturally has a lot of shops in Nanshi. As soon as Shen Hanshuang and Ming Shuxue arrived in Nanshi, the shopkeepers got the news and prepared the best things in the store for the two young ladies to choose from.

The goods in the other shops in Nanshi are also in good condition. The two sisters walked around together, and if they liked something, they bought it, and the Ming family's maid and maid took it.

As soon as the group walked into a ready-to-wear shop that did not belong to the Ming family, Ming Shuxue's personal maid Qiu He gave her a look.

Ming Shuxue subconsciously frowned, holding Shen Hanshuang's hand and wanting to withdraw.

"What's wrong?" Shen Hanshuang asked softly, "But you don't like the clothes in this store?" ”

Ming Shuxue was about to speak, when a high-spirited voice sounded: "Where does she not like it, does she dare to like it?" ”

Shen Hanshuang looked at the person who spoke and recognized her as the third girl of the Li family, Li Heyue.

The Li family and the Ming family used to be rivals in the business field, and although the heads of the two families have been playing games for many years, they are both decent people and have never had any unpleasantness in person.

It's just that in the past ten years, the momentum of the Ming family has become more and more vigorous, and it is difficult for other businessmen to match it. The Li family is gradually weak, and they no longer have the strength to wrestle with the Ming family.

And Li Heyue liked to target Shen Hanshuang for a while. After Shen Hanshuang dealt with it a few times, she seemed to have changed her mind again, and every time she met, she turned a blind eye to Shen Hanshuang. Shen Hanshuang also fell clean.

It seems that she is now targeting Shangming Shuxue again.

Ming Shuxue is not a character who will insist on retreating, maybe Li Heyue once said something to her?

Shen Hanshuang's face was not obvious, and he asked as if greeting: "Miss Li knows my little sister?" ”

Li Heyue glanced at Ming Shuxue and said mockingly: "Your little sister? ”

"Who doesn't know that she was picked up and brought back to the Ming family? I didn't dare to say anything when I slapped me, poor ......"

"Smack——!

A slap in response fell heavily on Li Heyue's face, interrupting her unfinished words.

There were many customers in the store, and they all quieted down at this time.

Li Heyue was stunned for a moment, and then shouted angrily to Shen Hanshuang: "Are you crazy!?" ”

Even when she was targeted, Shen Hanshuang never made a move.

Li Heyue was so angry that she wanted to slap her back, but she was immediately stopped by the little guy who was following Shen Hanshuang.

Shen Hanshuang withdrew her hand, with a decent smile on her face, and said softly: "You will make a sound when you are slapped by someone, it seems that you are not pitiful." ”

"If you really can't control your mouth and hands, go back to the house and let the mother of the Li family teach again. This kind of thing, our Ming family will not do it for you. ”

When the words fell, Shen Hanshuang stopped talking to Li Heyue, and led Ming Shuxue out of the ready-to-wear shop.

After walking a distance, Shen Hanshuang stopped in a secluded place and turned his head sideways to look at Ming Shuxue.

Sure enough, I saw that she was crying silently, and her beautiful fair little face was full of tears, which made people feel distressed.

"Sister, I ......"

Feeling Shen Hanshuang's concerned eyes, Ming Shuxue cried so hard that she couldn't say anything.

Shen Hanshuang gently wiped her tears, and her eyes motioned for everyone else to retreat, and then asked her softly: "When did you know?" ”

"On the day of the Upper Temple." Ming Shuxue said in a low voice.

At that time, she realized that she was not her father's daughter, but an orphan girl who was picked up and returned to the Ming family.

"Have you ever asked your grandmother and uncle?"

Ming Shuxue shook her head.

Shen Hanshuang sighed lightly: "If you ask, you will know that compared to many years of family affection, blood relationship is nothing. ”

"No matter what outsiders say, you are the daughter of the Ming family, and there is no reason to be bullied to that extent."

The meaning of Li Heyue's words is obvious, she not only knows Ming Shuxue's life experience, but also slapped Ming Shuxue.

Ming Shuxue was also spoiled by her family since she was a child, and she was not a submissive character, but now she didn't even say a word when she was beaten.

How can Shen Hanshuang not feel distressed?

"What else did she say to you?" Shen Hanshuang asked again.

It's just that these can't explain why Ming Shuxue deliberately let Shen Hanshuang everywhere.

Ming Shuxue endured the astringency in her heart and said truthfully: "She said that my father adopted me because my sister lived in Chang'an half of the time every year. Raising me, it's a comfort when my sister is not at home. ”

Ming Shuxue is more difficult than that she is not a real Ming family, but she also understands that she should repay her kindness.

It was Ming Shuxue, who originally liked her sister, that after learning about her life experience, she put her sister first in everything, and deliberately imitated her sister's dressing preferences.

In this way, she thought, when her sister was not at home, she might be able to talk to comfort her father and grandmother in missing her sister.

"Li Heyue is talking nonsense." Shen Hanshuang said immediately.

"Silly girl," Shen Hanshuang wiped the tears like broken threads for Ming Shuxue, "Do you know who brought you back to Ming's house?" ”

Ming Shuxue looked up at her in confusion.

Isn't it a father?

Shen Hanshuang explained: "It's me who is seven years old. ”

"Am I also going to take your little girl as a comfort?"

Seeing that Ming Shuxue was stunned, Shen Hanshuang deliberately teased her: "You are my sister who used a whole sugar gourd to trick her home, don't let people bully you anymore." ”

Back then, the juggling team wanted to force the three-year-old Ming Shuxue to drill the fire ring to attract guests, Shen Hanshuang asked her uncle to help redeem Ming Shuxue, and used a sugar gourd to coax the little girl who was scared to cry by the fire ring to follow her back to Ming's house.

Everyone in Luoyang City knew that the Ming family had an extra girl overnight, but no one dared to say anything. Shen Hanshuang didn't expect Li Heyue to stab this matter in front of Ming Shuxue, and used it as a lever to bully her.

has been bullied in front of him, Rao is Shen Hanshuang is gentle and demure, and he will not hesitate to fight back. Ming Shuxue originally had this confidence, but she was temporarily limited by her life experience.

"If Li Heyue bullies you again, you have to fight back." Shen Hanshuang admonished.

She gently pinched Ming Shuxue's cheek, "My cousin and uncle will make decisions for you, and so will I." ”

"Okay." Ming Shuxue finally stopped her tears, but she still cried.

"Don't cry, let's go home today, and come out tomorrow to buy new clothes."

Ming Shuxue didn't have the heart to continue shopping, so the sisters went home early.

When you are unitary, the heat is finally not so hot.

Ming Shubai heard about what happened in Nanshi, put down what he was doing and rushed home, planning to take Shen Hanshuang and Ming Shuxue out for a walk.

Shen Hanshuang also wanted to make Ming Shuxue happy, so she changed into a brand-new riding outfit with her and followed her cousin to a grassland on the outskirts of the city.

This place is the property of the Ming family, and there are many good horses in it.

Shen Hanshuang is quiet and elegant on the surface, but she actually likes to take risks at heart. She grew up in front of her grandfather and grandmother, and she couldn't do more and more dangerous things, but she was used to riding horses in the countryside, and her elders would not hold her back on this matter.

It's just that after marrying into the palace, Shen Hanshuang didn't want to be too conspicuous, so as not to be noticed by the old emperor who didn't like her, and she didn't want to mess up her sideburns and lose her dignity in front of Zhu Yinzhou, who had always been self-denying and courteous. She hadn't ridden a horse in years.

Ming Shuxue also made trouble learning after seeing Shen Hanshuang riding a horse, and in a few years, her riding skills have been very outstanding.

As soon as Shen Hanshuang and Ming Shuxue arrived at the pasture, they noticed that there were two white horses that stood out.

Ming Shu Bai Wen said, "This is a new horse for you." ”

The horse before Shen Hanshuang was old and retired in the horse farm. Ming Shuxue's usual horse is also about to give birth to a foal. Ming Shubai deliberately went to pick two new ones himself.

Shen Hanshuang and Ming Shuxue were eager to try, and after getting acquainted with the beautiful white horse for a while, they got on the horse skillfully and walked slowly around the grassland.

The white horses had already been tamed by Ming Shubai in advance, and Shen Hanshuang and Ming Shuxue would soon be able to control them freely. The sisters agreed to have a match.

When Shen Hanshuang drove the horse away, Ming Shubai had been standing in place and looking at her back.

Shen Hanshuang is gentle and tolerant on weekdays, but she is high-spirited on horseback, not inferior to any teenager.

No matter how long she has been away from home, she is still the girl who loves to ride horses and whips and race against the wind.

And Ming Shubai always stopped in place, staring at her bright and wanton back.

But this time, Ming Shubai turned over and rode a black horse, caught up with her, and ran forward side by side with Shen Hanshuang.

"Brother, can you help me hold my sister? I'm going to win! Ming Shuxue shouted at Ming Shubai.

Ming Shubai smiled in his eyes and looked at Shen Hanshuang, but said to Ming Shuxue: "Hanshuang and I should win you together." ”

"You're bullying me again!"

Shen Hanshuang raised his whip and said confidently: "I think you will all lose today." ”

The sound of the girls laughing farther and farther away.

In the dark, Lin Yuanhui's gaze also kept falling on Shen Hanshuang.

He hadn't seen her ride her horse so happily in a long time.

Watching Shen Hanshuang return to Ming's house safely that day, Lin Yuanhui originally planned to return to Chang'an, so he let it go.

But he only stayed for half a day, but he heard that Shen Hanshuang had reconciled with Zhu Yinzhou.

He could no longer make up his mind to return to Chang'an.

But Lin Yuanhui couldn't find a reason to appear in front of Shen Hanshuang justifiably.

Once he appeared, perhaps those unspoken thoughts were put on the surface.

And then what? What will happen to him and her?

He didn't know.

The other side.

A tall and thin figure appeared on Broken Cloud's side.

Zhu Yinzhou was looking indifferently at Ming Shubai, who was traveling with Shen Hanshuang, and Lin Yuanhui, who was secretly escorting Shen Hanshuang all the way.

Silent.

After only staying for a moment, Zhu Yinzhou turned around and left, heading straight for the Jiang family in the city.

Xuanyun originally had the audacity to guess that the prince came to Luoyang day and night to see the princess earlier.

But now it seems that it should be because of the appalling murder case of the Jiang family.

Public affairs are important, and sure enough, this is the prince's style of acting.

No one knows, all I thought about on the way to the city was -

After three years of marriage, he has never seen Shen Hanshuang when he rides a horse.

Public, bright, sassy and beautiful.

People can't help but stop looking.

Before today, he didn't even know that Shen Hanshuang could not only ride a horse, but also ride very skillfully.

But Ming Shubai and Lin Yuanhui are obviously very familiar with such Shen Hanshuang.

He, the husband, knows nothing.
