It was getting late, and the three brothers and sister came out of Heyan Hall together.
Shen Tingjun was the first to walk to the door. He looked at the pretty and short sister behind him and said, "Brother, will I take you back?"
Shen Yuyao shook her head like a rattle and smiled in an ingratiating manner, "No, no, no, brother, you've been tired for a long day. You go back to your room and rest first. I have two things to ask Third Brother, and I'll go back to sleep after I finish asking."
Shen Tinglan was a little confused, not knowing what her sister was going to ask. He was also anxious to return to his room. After all, he had been away from home for half a year and his beloved wife and young son were missed.
However, his sister is also his biological child. Since his sister has something to ask, how can he ignore it?
Shen Tinglan said, "Brother, please go back first. I will see Yao'er off later."
"good."
Shen Tingjun responded, and told the two of them not to be too late, then turned around and strode out with Cheng Ying.
Shen Yuyao and Shen Tinglan looked at the front yard where their eldest brother was walking, and both looked sad.
Shen Tinglan: "Princess Changrong's things have been moved away, and Songbai Courtyard has been restored to the way it was before the eldest brother got married. Everything is the same as before, why is the eldest brother not willing to go back to live there?"
"Who says it's not the case?" Shen Yuyao's little head was filled with great sorrow. She was dejected and her eyebrows were drooped. "The eldest brother is not married and we don't see each other. I don't know if he still misses Princess Changrong. .My mother told me two days ago that if my eldest brother is still interested in Princess Changrong, she will send someone over to make peace..."
"no."
Shen Tinglan frowned slightly, "It's hard to heal a broken mirror, and it's hard to round a broken mirror. The eldest brother and Princess Changrong have no fate, and they are torture together. Don't worry about the eldest brother's marriage, you are such a big person, you just follow blindly Blended..."
"I didn't interfere, it was my mother..."
Shen Tinglan sighed heavily, "I will talk to my mother about this tomorrow. In short, Princess Changrong will never do it! The eldest brother is not someone who will turn back. Since the two parties have severed their ties, it is best not to get involved again. "
In fact, Shen Yuyao also felt that what the third brother said was reasonable, but the eldest brother still refused to get married, which made her mother very anxious. As a caring little cotton-padded jacket, she would inevitably have to listen to a few complaints from her mother, which caused her to become anxious about her eldest brother's life-long events.
It's difficult for her too.
God knows that as an unmarried girl, she has to worry about her eldest brother's marriage. She is very worried, okay?
Shen Tinglan spoke again, her tone still gentle, "You said you have something to say to Third Brother, let's talk while we walk. This road is so long, there are enough words for you to say."
Shen Yuyao was poked in the arm by Linlang - could she still know what this girl meant?
Isn't it just that she thought it was too unreliable for her to ask her third brother about the quarrel between cousin Sang and her third sister-in-law. But now it’s time, so what’s the matter? Besides, she's not stupid. She just wants to find out something, but she can't let the third brother know her true intention.
Shen Yuyao: "Third sister-in-law's cousin came to visit us a few days ago. Did sister-in-law tell third brother about this? I saw that third brother brought many earthen rituals today. Should I also send some to Qiangweiyuan? Let sister-in-law Would it be better to send it there, or should I go there in person?"
Shen Tinglan paused.
As if he didn't hear Shen Yuyao's last two questions, he just frowned and asked, "You said your third sister-in-law's cousin just came to your house a few days ago?"
Shen Yuyao nodded and counted on her fingers, "Cousin Sang has been here for only ten days."
Shen Tinglan's brows were knitted into knots, and the expression on his face was a little heavy.
He couldn't tell his sister that just the day before his study tour, he happened to hear his wife talking to Zhijin about cousin Sang outside the door. Cousin Sang's situation was too difficult. Thinking of his wife's compassionate nature and her love for her younger siblings, in order to prevent her from having trouble speaking, he took the lead in suggesting that he could use the power of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion to rescue Cousin Sang from the den of tigers and wolves.
Originally, he didn't take this matter seriously, but he just loved his wife and couldn't bear to make things difficult for her. The lady bowed her head in gratitude and said many words of gratitude. That being the case, why did it take half a year to bring Cousin Sang, who was stuck in the mud, to the house?
Intuition told Shen Tinglan that something was wrong.
But he didn't want to pursue it further, after all, he had already been picked up from Wang's house. 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 her sister had said, "Sang's cousin lives in Rose Garden?"
As the direct son of the Hou family and the youngest son of the original Madam Hou, Shen Tinglan was naughty and naughty when he was young. The old lady would often chase him behind his butt with a stick to beat him in annoyance. There is no place in the Hou Mansion that he has not been to, so he naturally knows what Rose Garden is like.
Shen Yuyao nodded "ignorantly and naively", "Yes, I just came out of Qiangweiyuan today after visiting Cousin Sang, and I happened to meet the third brother nearby. I was the first one in the house to see the third brother. Man, for the sake of our brother-sister relationship, third brother, can you give me two more pieces of the jewelry you brought back today?"
Shen Tinglan responded casually, "It's for you." Another question also blurted out, "Is this the yard that Uncle Shen arranged for Cousin Sang?"
Shen Yuyao lowered his head and rolled his eyes.
Look, the third brother's first reaction was exactly the same as hers.
But it's understandable. After all, who would think bad things about their family, or even their lover?
And I have to say that although Zhou Baolu is not lovable in front of them, she is gentle, kind, virtuous and kind 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 agreed on marriage, and married 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 narrow-minded, retaliatory, hypocritical and hypocritical woman, then the image she has created as a loving sister, a virtuous and kind-hearted person, and a beautiful and intelligent woman will completely collapse.
This not only broke the perfect image of Zhou Baolu in the heart of the third brother, but also proved that the original choice of the third brother may have been completely wrong - Zhou Baolu is not the pure and flawless snow on the top of the mountain, she is a deep-minded, sophisticated and calculating Tan. Zhongni, how can the third brother bear to be fooled like this?
Shen Yuyao looked at the third brother timidly, somewhat repelled. But Shen Tinglan still stared at her, his eyes burning, not allowing her to dodge in the slightest.
"Tell me, was that yard arranged by Uncle Shen or your third sister-in-law?"
Shen Yuyao still wanted to struggle, so she acted coquettishly and said, "Who knows? Third brother, I am very busy every day now, okay? I have started to learn housekeeping from my mother. How can I have so much free time to care about those things?" Is there something you don’t have?”
Shen Tinglan's heart dropped, but he smiled and said, "You don't have time to care about who assigned Cousin Sang's yard to her. Do you have time to care about whether it is you who is going to give her the proper ceremony or you?" Is it more suitable for the third sister-in-law to go over?"
Shen Yuyao felt that her little thoughts were being spied on by her third brother in an instant, and she felt very depressed. What she wanted to find out didn't come out at all, but it was the third brother who almost dug her out.
Fortunately, this was his biological brother after all, so he saved her some face and didn't ask endless questions about this matter. Instead, he asked as if to change the subject, "Auntie and cousin Xiuwen didn't come for dinner today. Why is that?"
Speaking of this matter, Shen Yuyao was very talkative.
As soon as she changed her despondency, her little mouth started to describe the scene of that day. The focus is on her eldest brother's unkindness, rejection of others, and coldness, and the secondary focus is on her aunt's crying as if struck by lightning, and cousin Xiuwen's shame, anger, and despair...
She spoke with great interest, but Shen Tinglan listened in silence. He didn't speak until he sent his sister to Hanxiangju where she lived, "It's too late. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Go back and rest first."
Watching her sister enter the yard, Shen Tinglan stood there for a long time, then took heavy steps, turned around and walked back.
His tall and thin figure slowly melted into the dark night. At this time, he seemed lonely and depressed, depressed and melancholy. It seemed that the backbone that had been supporting him had been pulled away, and it seemed that life was confused, but he suddenly lost the direction of travel.
