At this time, in order to make Mrs. Shen reject the marriage from the British government, Shen Yanjiao was stunned for a moment, then she didn't make any excuses and continued to cry and pretend.
Mrs. Shen was watching Shen Yanjiao's reaction carefully. When she saw that her eyelashes were trembling, she immediately smiled and nodded: "That's it, that's all -"
If they really wanted to kiss each other, she would not refuse. It's just that Fu Yunshan is still a year younger, so he's not in a hurry... When the Fu family returns to Beijing next time, I can ask and make a decision first.
The Shen family politely replied to the British Duke's letter. The British Duke's step-wife was a little angry for a moment. She happened to see Gu Nazhang coming out after meeting the British Duke, and she called Gu Nazhang directly.
"What did mother say?"
Gu Nazhang bowed unhurriedly.
The British princess-in-law got a headache when she saw his stubborn and unwilling appearance. She couldn't control this stepson even though she tried her best.
What is the meaning of giving and receiving, what is the meaning of hidden needles, what is the meaning of emptiness and resignation, what is the meaning of never leaving... Ever since she took this stepson under her name, she has experienced these feelings over and over again.
She couldn't find fault with him, couldn't win his heart, and was always lukewarm and distant from her stepmother.
"You are no longer a small person. In Beijing, your character and appearance are unique. Do you think you are a fairy? Do you think everyone is rushing to marry you?"
The British princess-in-law felt a little annoyed. Moreover, her family's bookishness was a little weak. She had not read any books since she was a child, so she spoke more straightforwardly and couldn't help but ridicule a few words.
Gu Nazhang's expression remained unchanged and he bowed slightly: "I don't dare."
"You said you dare not,"
The British father-in-law and his wife gathered together and said, "When did you really dare not to do it anymore? Is there anything else that you don't dare to do in this family? You just talk hard -"
He said angrily, "First you said you didn't want to get married to the Shen family. Let alone the eldest daughter of the Shen family, the third girl of the family still looks down on you!"
Gu Nazhang: "..."
"Did mother mention the idea of marriage to the Shen family again?"
Gu Nanzhang's expression darkened slightly. He had made it very clear to his stepmother, but who would have thought that her stepmother didn't listen to him at all.
"It's all in vain,"
Feeling the oppression of her stepson's eyes, the British princess unconsciously avoided Gu Nazhang's gaze and muttered guiltily, "If you try your best, you won't be rejected."
After saying this, she took it out on herself, but she also knew that she had offended her stepson again by speaking out loud... She could only grunt and turned into the room out of anger.
Gu Nazhang could not calm down until he returned to his study.
He had never really been bothered by what this stepmother said, but it was different today... He seemed to be repeating the phrase "The third girl doesn't like you yet--"
Shen Yanjiao actually looked down on him?
This time, something went wrong with the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and Shen Yanjiao didn't even plan to make up for it by marrying them to the British government.
What went wrong in this life, she, she actually looked down on herself.
Suddenly I thought of that day, in front of the miracle doctor, the big tears on Shen Yanjiao's face and the real and emotional water in her eyes...
They were all fresh and vivid that he had never seen in his previous life.
I don't like him...Who do I like?
A deep coldness flashed across Gu Nazhang's eyes.
"Yo Master,"
At this time, the boy was sorting the books on the bookshelf for Gu Nazhang. In the blink of an eye, he saw Gu Nazhang standing in front of the bronze mirror and staring coldly at the bronze mirror. He couldn't help being startled, "This bronze mirror is small and was just polished early this morning." ——”
Could it be that the master dislikes the bronze mirror for not shining brightly? Otherwise, why would you stand there and stare.
Gu Nazhang ordered with a cold face: "Find out the piece of ink I got two days ago. I will take it to the Imperial Academy and give it to Brother Shen tomorrow."
It seems that he and his friends talk less on weekdays and the news is slower.
…
It has rained in the past few days, which makes it a little cooler, but it cannot cool down the joy and bustle of Shen Mansion. Mrs. Shen Er has already started preparing a dowry for Shen Yanrou at the urging of the old lady.
There was no way, as soon as the three letters and six etiquette were over, Prince An's palace seemed eager to get married and wanted to do it immediately. The wedding date was set very tight, and the wedding would be held before the year.
Shen Yanjiao prevaricated the old lady and rejected the marriage proposal from the British government. She felt that she would never make the same mistake again in this life, which was a rare relief and joy.
Coupled with Shen Yanliu's improved health, Shen Yanjiao experienced real happiness for the first time in her life these days.
In the afternoon of that day, the rain stopped. When Shen Yanjiao picked up Shen Yanliu and they were playing fishing in the garden with a small fishing rod, they saw the eldest sister Shen Yanrou, the second sister Shen Yanwan, and the fourth sister Shen Yanliu. By chance, they all came together.
"So you are here,"
Shen Yanrou smiled when she saw Shen Yanjiao, "Tell us to find him easily."
Shen Yanjiao put down the fishing rod with a smile, came over and said with a smile, "What do you want from me?"
As she said this, she looked at Shen Yanwan with some confusion.
There are four sisters in the Shen family. She and her sister-in-law Shen Yanrou are both children of Shen Ke, the second master of the Shen family. Shen Yanwan is the only daughter of her uncle Shen Yan. Her appearance is similar to that of their aunt, and her eyebrows are a little heavier and a little more eyebrow-raising. The heroic spirit comes.
It's just that this second sister, Shen Yanwan, has always been at odds with her, Shen Yanjiao, and rarely takes the initiative to talk and joke with her. In her previous life, she only thought that this second sister probably looked down on her, a concubine, so she also held a grudge in her heart. I have plotted against this second sister several times.
Shen Yanqiao was born to his uncle. He was about the same age as Shen Yanliu. He had a round face and a childish look, and a simple mind. He was also Shen Yanwan's follower.
In other words, in the previous life, except for the gentle-tempered sister Shen Yanrou, the other sisters in the Shen family had always been at odds with Shen Yanjiao.
Shen Yanjiao was inevitably a little surprised when they suddenly came together.
"Your second sister wants to make a sachet,"
Shen Yanrou smiled and said, "I want to create a unique embroidery method - your needlework is first-class. I brought her here to ask you for advice."
Shen Yanwan also looked at Shen Yanjiao at this time.
She actually didn't want to come over. She didn't like some of Shen Yanjiao's ways. Moreover, the third sister was too thoughtful and had impure intentions. She had seen her telling her eldest sister about needlework in the past... She hadn't taught her eldest sister yet. The ornaments on her sister's table have been taken away by her.
It's just that Shen Yanjiao's careful care of Shen Yanliu this time made her change her mind a little bit. Therefore, when Shen Yanrou was brought here, she followed him with doubts.
"That's it..."
Shen Yanjiao laughed when she heard it, "That's easy to say - what do you want to embroider? I'll teach you."
Shen Yanwan said tentatively, half believing it or not.
But what surprised her was that the third sister actually had the patience to do so. In the pavilion, she picked up her needle and thread and told her in detail...
She said it clearly and she was not stupid, she understood it as soon as she heard it.
"The third sister is really ingenious,"
She used the method she learned to embroider a branch and leaf. Looking at the lifelike embroidery work, Shen Yanwan rarely praised her sincerely, "Why didn't these hands touch me?"
"Send it to you,"
Shen Yanjiao felt more relaxed than ever before. She suddenly became playful and stretched out her hands to put on Shen Yanwan's arms. She smiled and said, "Take it, take it -"
Shen Yanwan was startled, then laughed.
The four sisters laughed together in the pavilion.
Shen Yansong, who saw this warm and harmonious scene when he entered the garden, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
