When Shen Yanjiao saw the man who almost collided with him clearly, he couldn't help feeling a little dazed again: Gu Nazhang.
It was Gu Nazhang who was in his prime. At this time, he did not have the dull and stagnant death-like aura of middle-aged and old people. There was still a bit of clarity in his eyebrows, just like when she first saw him in the previous life. He was really a good person. Human and dog-like.
His face was blinded in vain, but he was still a walking zombie.
Shen Yanjiao couldn't help feeling a little disgusted when she thought about all the things they had together in their previous life. He quickly put away his gaze, lowered his eyelids, as if he hadn't seen this person, and turned around to walk towards the handwriting corridor here.
Gu Nazhang: "..."
Strange.
In the more than half a day since his rebirth, this was the first situation he encountered that was different from his previous life.
The whole life in his previous life passed by, and he felt that his life was boring. Especially for the person beside him, when he first married her, he was secretly happy.
When he was a child, he went to the great Buddhist temple to offer incense with his aunt-in-law. His eldest brother, along with several other noble family members, picked trouble and bullied him, kicking him down to the snowy mud floor and making him covered in filth.
He was afraid of being punished by the Duke's wife, so he huddled under an old tree and did not dare to go back to his room. His hungry stomach growled. But he met a little girl of four or five years old. She looked at him curiously, reached out and stuffed the half-eaten vegetarian bun into his hand, and ran away with a giggle...
The appearance of the little girl, and even the small teeth marks left on the plain buns, were all remembered in his heart for many years.
When the little girl ran away, he also secretly hid a small purse that she dropped.
He later found out that it was Shen Yanjiao, the third girl of the Shen family.
However, he never told the matter to his mouth, nor did he have any more thoughts. It was just that the scene was like a petal of time sandwiched in his solitary book.
Regardless of whether the petals are willing or not, they can still leave a trace of indescribable warmth and beauty in the days when the grass is dry and dull.
Therefore, when the British Duke's step-wife arranged a marriage between him and the Shen family, although there were twists and turns and she did not marry the step-wife's legitimate daughter, she unexpectedly allowed him to get back the little girl from back then.
When he was newly married, his usually calm heart couldn't help but flutter. He suppressed it forcefully, so that he could maintain his gentle and self-denying gentleman appearance.
But who knows, God always plays tricks on people.
It didn't take long for him to learn from his friend Shen Yanbai, Shen Yanjiao's brother, that his wife was actually a vicious and calculating beauty snake.
Even so, he still had some expectations for her: or was he just temporarily obsessed?
But as time went by, he became more and more frightened, not to mention her plot against the entire Duke's palace, not to mention her taboo plot against the girl who had been with him for many years...
Even the girl she brought with her, the girl who had been with her since she was a child, was sold out at any time in order to frame the blame, forcing the death of an innocent person, but she never even trembled her long eyelashes. .
On that day, he threw the small purse he had treasured for a long time into the charcoal stove in the study, and his heart slowly died.
This death is a lifetime.
But who would have thought that on the day she died, he would be reborn inexplicably, and he would be reborn on the day when he came to Shen Mansion for a summer banquet with the British princess.
After understanding the fact of rebirth, his first thought was to never see the third girl of the Shen family again. The only thing that worried him was that when he was reborn, he was already sitting in the front hall of the Shen family. The playboy who rescued Miss Shen in his previous life was no longer at the table.
If there were no accidents, it would be the same as in the previous life, and it would not be long before the Shen family's legitimate daughter fell into the pond and was rescued.
But in this life, he didn't want Miss Shen to make the same mistake again, so he quietly told his friend Shen Yanbai about the playboy's departure. I just said that the man was probably drunk and got lost, so don't scare the back house.
Shen Yanbai immediately asked someone to look for the dude, but when the dude returned to the table, nothing happened.
It's just a gift, but it's still necessary to meet. What happened to the eldest daughter of the Shen family in the previous life, the Shen family still suppressed it for the sake of dignity, and the banquet went on as usual, and they only said that the eldest daughter was slightly ill, etc. to prevaricate.
It was precisely because of this that during the next ceremony, he saw Miss Shen San in the corridor over there across the flower garden in the previous life...
At that moment, I have to say that Miss Shen San, dressed in a rich dress, stood out among all the noble ladies. It's just that there's always something between that fancy dress and that little girl back then, unable to overlap.
Or, he should have understood from that moment that she was no longer the little girl she was back then.
Thinking of everything that happened in his previous life, Gu Nazhang had already made up his mind that he no longer wanted to have anything to do with Miss Shen San.
So I arrived at the flower hall in advance, and after greeting each lady, I strode out of here without stopping.
Who would have thought that, having not seen Miss Shen San along the way, when they came out to see the gift, they almost bumped into each other?
Calculating?
When he saw the other party clearly, Gu Nanzhang's first reaction was that the almost encounter this time was also the other party's plan against him...
No, for Miss Shen San, she only coveted the position of the fourth young lady of the British government. The other party was planning on this position, not "him".
It is estimated that Miss Shen San will be more delicate next time, so he has already turned cold. He just waited for her to speak and stabbed her hypocrisy back.
But who would have expected that before he could calm down, Miss Shen turned around with a cold face and walked away... gone!
He didn't even use the most common etiquette among ordinary people, he just walked away with a cold face, without even looking at him again.
Gu Nazhang was startled for a moment, then squinted his eyes slightly, thinking of something, and suddenly turned around and saw Shen Yanjiao's back.
The light green shirt and tassel-colored skirt do not look luxurious from top to bottom. They are completely different from those seen in the previous life. What is even more different is that at this time, Miss Shen San is wearing a pink lotus hairpin, following her Niao Tingting moved around, and the pink lotus trembled slightly.
It was a lively and down-to-earth look that he had never seen in his previous life.
For some reason, he suddenly thought of the smiling little girl back then.
At this time, a breeze blew by, and the shock and confusion in Gu Nazhang's eyes disappeared in an instant, and his eyes were as calm and calm as ever.
However, the carvings on the outside of the skin have just changed, but the viciousness and turbidity on the inside are not the same. People in the world will be confused by good-looking appearances, but what Gu Nazhang wants is not that good-looking skin.
Even if you don't get married in this life, you must never make the same mistake again.
"Go with it,"
At this moment, Shen Yansong strode over and called to Gu Nazhang with a smile, "Why are you walking so fast?"
Shunzhi was Gu Nazhang's nickname. The two had been friends for many years. Sometimes they would quarrel and would often call each other by their first names. However, in special occasions outside, the names among friends are still polite.
"A little boring,"
Gu Nazhang also smiled, but without stopping, he left Yunhe Pavilion with Shen Yansong, "Do you have something to tell me? You're being sneaky, I'm afraid you have bad intentions."
There was no one around, and Shen Yansong laughed: "Nothing else, I am happy, and also happy for Brother Shun."
I heard someone said that the wife of the Duke of England, Brother Gu's stepmother, really fell in love with Shen Yanrou on his behalf.
Shen Yanrou is his biological sister, Shen Yansong, and his only sister. Shen Yansong is relieved from the bottom of his heart that she can marry his good friend Gu Nazhang.
And he also knows the character of his sister best. She is gentle, virtuous and virtuous. Being able to marry his sister is also a blessing for his good friend, huh.
Gu Nazhang smiled slightly, but didn't want to say more. In this life, he no longer had any expectations of marrying a woman who moved his heart. In other words, he didn't even want to have anything to do with all the girls in the Shen family.
Otherwise, if Shen Yanrou, a truly virtuous and gentle woman, marries a cold-hearted man like him...
If I feel sorry for her kindness, I will feel sorry for my friends.
When I go back this time, I might as well signal my stepmother to tactfully give up on the marriage with the Shen family while the marriage has not yet been decided, using the excuse of incompatibility or something.
"I just got a few pieces of delicious fragrance,"
At this time, Shen Yansong smiled again and said, "I am happy today, so I will give you a piece -"
As he spoke, he took out a piece of incense from his purse and handed it to Gu Nazhang.
Gu Nazhang took it with one hand, but his eyes paused on Shen Yansong's purse. He smiled and said perfunctorily: "The needlework in the house is good. I guess it's an embroidery worker hired from the south?"
There are domestic embroidery workers in every prefecture. After all, some things don’t want to pass through the hands of outsiders.
"this?"
Shen Yansong patted the purse on his body and said casually, "The gift from the third sister during the Dragon Boat Festival is not the work of an embroidery worker."
Brothers and sisters in the family will give each other small gifts on their birthdays or during various festivals. Not to mention anything else, his third sister is an excellent embroiderer. Even their father, who is as strict and picky as they are, has praised the third sister's embroidery work.
It's just that he will only use this purse for himself, and will never give it to his foreign husband, even to his friends.
Gu Nazhang lowered his eyelids and nodded casually:
That's it... It turns out that the thing he picked up as a treasure was just a small gadget given away casually by others.
When he got back, he immediately burned the purse he had treasured since childhood, and didn't keep any of it anymore.
The only trace of youthful nostalgia in my heart should be eliminated as soon as possible in this life.
