Shen Yansong silently suffered this unreasonable disaster.
When Shen Ke left, he looked at Shen Yanjiao with emotion in his eyes: It was really what his father said. This was the first time he saw such an admirable third sister.
"Third sister... scared me to death,"
Shen Yanrou stroked her heart and said with fear and admiration, "Third sister, how can you be so bold?"
Everyone in the house, not to mention their juniors, even their grandmother Mrs. Shen, have never stood up to their father Shen Ke like this in person.
"Third sister, from now on,"
The second girl, Shen Yanwan, also had a look of admiration on her face. She grabbed Shen Yanjiao's arm and said sincerely, "I have convinced you."
To be able to contradict the strict and rigid father of the family head for the sake of a weak younger brother... If it were her, she might not have the courage to do so.
"I'm afraid too,"
Shen Yanjiao said quickly, "Fortunately, although my father is a little strict, he still loves us... Otherwise, it would be useless for me to kneel and cry all day."
Shen Yanwan smiled noncommittally: she was not Shen Ke's daughter, but she was quite sure of her uncle's temperament. This uncle of his is pedantic and upright, and his love for his children is not out of temperament. Instead, like many powerful family heads in the capital, he does things in the interests of the family.
Today, it was the words of these three younger sisters that the most important thing was to put family interests and family reputation first, which moved Shen Ke.
All I can say is that the third sister is really thoughtful and has a good eye for things.
In the past, she felt that the three younger sisters were too thoughtful and she never liked them. Now it seems that being thoughtful is not a bad thing. It depends on the reason for these thoughts.
Such sisters who love their brothers and sisters and know how to advance and retreat are truly worthy of deep friendship.
"The eldest sister, the third sister, the fourth sister and the fourth brother,"
With this in mind, the second girl, Shen Yan, changed the subject and smiled, "I just got some new and fancy floral decorations from the south. I'll ask the girls to send them to you later. Don't dislike the simplicity, just keep it."
Shen Yanjiao smiled and thanked her, her eyes flashing slightly.
Her second sister's parents both worked outside Changzhou.
Changzhou is in the south, and it is also a prosperous and prosperous place. Moreover, due to the increasing maritime trade in the south, all kinds of novel and strange goods are dazzling at the docks or markets.
In addition, people in the south are more ingenious, and various places are more particular. Many styles that have not yet emerged in the capital have been developed in the south.
Therefore, uncle Shen Yan and his wife, that is, the second sister's parents were in office in Changzhou and could not return to Kyoto often, but they often ordered people to bring fresh things from the south to honor Mrs. Shen.
Naturally, he also did not forget to bring some jewelry, new gadgets and the like that only little girls like for his only daughter, Shen Yanwan.
But Shen Yanwan has never given her these things before, and today is the first time.
"Isn't it my share?"
Shen Yansong smiled on the side and said, "Second sister, isn't this unfair?"
The second girl, Shen Yanwan, rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you also want the flowers on my hair?"
His eyes lit up as he spoke, and he blinked again and said, "You...don't want to give it away, right?"
Shen Yansong had also discussed getting married early, but the Shen family always asked their children to study first before discussing marriage, so Shen Yansong's wedding was postponed to the spring of the year after next.
Shen Yansong, who had always been calm in front of their sisters, blushed after hearing this: "Second sister, don't talk nonsense."
He hurriedly changed the subject and said, "I have something to discuss with you. This year's Chinese Valentine's Day, it's rare for our brothers and sisters to be together, so I discussed it with Yan Bai and Yan Zhang and decided to At that time, let’s go to Zhuangzi in the western suburbs for a day when we have free time - what do you think?"
What he said was serious.
Shen Yanjiao and the others understood what he meant: Shen Yanrou was going to get married a few years ago, and it could be said that this was her last boudoir time in the Shen family.
Shen Yansong has no time to go to Ruoshui Hall this year, and next year he will have to work hard to earn money for the spring of next year... Then he will no longer have time to gather and laugh together.
In May and June next year, the second girl, Shen Yanwan, will also go back to Changzhou to be married.
Once this summer is over, there will be more things to do in the second half of the year. Shen Yansong will have more social activities, prepare for Shen Yanrou's marriage, etc., and the family will also have more things to do.
I'm afraid I'll never have such leisure time again.
“Excellent,”
Shen Yanrou responded first, "Is there anything wrong with this? I was just about to watch you, brother, galloping on the court -"
He laughed first.
There is their polo stable at Zhuangzi in the western suburbs, so you will definitely have to play a few games there. In addition to this, the scenery of mountains and rivers over there is great. Even if you don't go on stage, it would be great for the sisters to relax and laugh together.
"Then it's settled,"
Shen Yansong smiled and said, "By the way, my aunt's family will be back around the Mid-Autumn Festival, but my cousin Yunshan should come over early. By the time we get to the Chinese Valentine's Day, our house will be really lively."
Saying that, Shen Yansong glanced at Shen Yanjiao thoughtfully and with a smile.
Shen Yanjiao: "..."
Her heart skipped a beat, and she knew that her brother-in-law's smile was unusual:
My brother-in-law is always well-informed about the news in the house. He must have heard something from the old lady. Thinking of what the old lady said to her that day, and thinking of the smile that her brother-in-law looked at her when he talked about his cousin Yunshan...
Shen Yanjiao suddenly had two heads.
Shen Yansong said a few words to the sisters and then returned to the front yard in a good mood. But it might as well be that the boy sent him a letter saying that someone from Gu Nazhang invited him to have a drink.
To be honest, he has been avoiding his good friend these past few days. For no other reason than he feels a little sorry:
Originally, the matter between the British Duke's Mansion and their Shen Mansion was about to come to an end...who would have thought that Prince An's son would appear halfway through.
As a result, when this incident happened, his sister Shen Yanrou became the fiancée of Prince Anjun.
I thought that the third sister was not bad, and it would be a good thing if she followed her friends... Who knew that the third sister had someone in her heart.
After tossing and turning, when he had time to think about it, he felt a little sad for his good friend.
Shen Yansong accepted the appointment and went to the Accord in the tavern. Unexpectedly, Gu Nanzhang showed no displeasure on his face and even gave him a rare piece of ink.
"Brother Shun,"
Shen Yansong took the ink and sighed in his heart about the short relationship between the Shen family and his friend. He also praised his friend's broad-mindedness and said sincerely, "Thank you... That mistake that happened halfway before - it was really... …”
"Don't talk about this,"
Gu Nazhang poured the wine for him with a smile and said, "The friendship between you and me has nothing to do with this. Besides, everything in the world has its own destiny and cannot be forced."
Shen Yansong raised the wine and drank it in one gulp.
As expected, Gu Nazhang didn't show any concern. He talked about Taixue's homework and asked a few questions... Shen Yansong soon felt relieved under the carefreeness of his friend. He came to talk and drink with Gu Nazhang. I had to drink a few more drinks.
Shen Yansong's drinking capacity was average, and Gu Nazhang didn't show any signs of it, but he was a little slurred at first.
At this moment, Gu Nazhang smiled casually and said, "I've finished this drink - for no other reason than to wish my family good luck."
"Thanks……"
Shen Yansong said drunkenly, "Same joy, same joy..."
"I heard that my family is not only married to Prince Anjun's palace, but also to the Jiang family,"
Gu Nazhang smiled and said, "I'm even happier."
"Jiang family?"
Shen Yansong was confused, "Where...where did the Jiang family come from?"
"Oh, your third sister is not from the Jiang family?" Gu Nazhang looked confused.
"Of course... no, it's not,"
Shen Yansong smiled vaguely, "That's... uh... my aunt's house - uh - cousin Yunshan... uh -"
Gu Nazhang put down the wine glass in his hand, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
