"Someone from the old lady is here, and she wants all the girls to go over,"
Qiuyue smiled and said, "Girl, please change some clothes——"
"No, that's all."
Shen Yanjiao lowered her head and looked at what she was wearing. A lotus-colored half-sleeved shirt and a lilac skirt with folded branches... Although they were worn at home, they were not rude.
After thinking about it, Qiuyue asked Qiuyue to find a gold hairpin with beads and flowers to put on it. It was slightly more suitable. After all, it was too informal and concise to meet guests.
Qiuyue and Qiuyue glanced at each other quickly subconsciously, and they both saw some doubts in each other's eyes: the girl has never been so casual, and this period is even more different.
It's really not rude and not pinching.
"Girl, how many bank notes are these? Can you look at them?"
At this time, Nanny Song who was beside Shen Yanjiao walked in and said, "Wait until the girl takes a look, so that you can put it away."
Shen Yanjiao took it and took a look.
This was what she had secretly asked Nanny Song to leave the house to pawn in the past few days. She had sold some of the things that were too luxurious and sharp in the past.
Of course, these things must be hidden from the house, otherwise the third girl of the Shen house would go to sell jewelry... Otherwise, if this spreads out, the first aunt will be slapped in the face, and others will only think that the head of the house treats the concubine harshly. .
Aunt Song, Qiuyue Qiuyu and others were left to her by her biological mother. The body deed is in her hands, so she can rest assured.
"Put it up,"
Shen Yanjiao ordered, "Don't take the things you got at home outside."
In each girl's room in the house, there are unified allocations according to the time and festival, as well as occasional rewards from the old lady, aunt, etc. Naturally, these things cannot be sold.
What she asked to be sold was all bought by her own consumption.
"Of course,"
Nanny Song smiled quickly and said, "Don't worry, girl."
After saying that, he took the banknote and put it away carefully, and then secretly looked at his girl. Seeing that the girl is acting much more steadily, she, an old man, agrees from the bottom of her heart.
My aunt's previous actions were too extreme, and so were the girls she taught... They were the servants who followed, and there was never a day without fear that the master would one day send them to be so cruel and ruthless.
As the saying goes, a house that accumulates good deeds will always be blessed. Elderly people like them understand the truth, and they also hope that their master can understand it.
Fortunately, the girl is much gentler now. You don't have to worry every day when you are by her side. Instead, you can calm down and do things for the girl.
"The third girl is here."
The small hall on the old lady's side was already full of people. As soon as Shen Yanjiao arrived, a little girl next to the old lady immediately smiled back and another little girl was busy opening the curtain for Shen Yanjiao. .
As soon as Shen Yanjiao came in, she quickly bowed to her grandmother, met her aunts and uncles, and then turned to a tall young man who was surrounded by her sisters and brothers.
When she saw the young man's face, Shen Yanjiao couldn't help but be startled:
This...is the young Fu Yunshan back then?
Not only had she not seen her cousin in the decades since her last life, but at this time in her previous life, Fu Yunshan had not been to Beijing for two years due to some matters involving her uncle's family.
In addition, it was only at this time in her last life that she planned to marry her eldest sister to a playboy, and the entire Shen family was annoyed... Fu Yunshan didn't come over at that time.
All in all, not counting the last life, she hadn't seen her cousin in more than two years.
At this time, Fu Yunshan had completely lost the chubby look he had when he was a child. He was probably growing taller, and he had jumped up as high as a strip, and his figure became more and more tall like a green bamboo.
The young man has delicate features and looks very gentle and modest, somewhat similar to the demeanor of her brother Shen Yansong. It's just that compared to Shen Yansong, he is more energetic, and this Fu Yunshan, who is still a few years younger, is a bit immature.
Seeing such a young and clear young man, it was difficult for Shen Yanjiao to connect him with the powerful and famous officials he would become in the future.
Just when Shen Yanjiao was looking at Fu Yunshan, Fu Yunshan's eyes also fell on Shen Yanjiao. When their eyes met, Fu Yunshan was startled at first, then blushed and turned his eyes in a panic.
Shen Yanjiao: "..."
My cousin turns out to be so shy.
"This is your third sister,"
Mrs. Shen, who was sitting in the seat, saw this scene in her eyes and couldn't help laughing. She took Fu Yunshan's hand and said with a smile, "We used to be naughty together when we were young. Can't you recognize it now?"
"Yunshan, Yunshan has met the third sister,"
Fu Yunshan was probably nervous, and he stuttered a little. He blushed and saluted Shen Yanjiao, "Third sister, are you okay?"
Shen Yanjiao didn't want to offend this future important minister, so she quickly returned the favor and asked her aunt and uncle who were still in Jiangnan how they were doing.
As soon as the conversation between the two of them ended, all the family members in the hall laughed.
"Look at these two siblings,"
The head of the house, Mrs. Shen Er, smiled and said, "We are really so close but so distant."
Shen Yanjiao also felt that she was a little upright just now, so she smiled and lowered her eyelids.
It happened that Shen Yanliu also arrived at this time. Shen Yanjiao's mind suddenly fell on her brother, and she quickly looked at Shen Yanliu:
Shen Yanliu originally had a very surly temperament, and he never wanted to come to such occasions. I didn't expect him to come this time... It can be seen that A Liu is really happy these days.
"Brother A Liu,"
After meeting Shen Yanliu, Fu Yunshan looked at Shen Yanliu seriously and said, "I have brought you something special. I will send it to you when I get back."
After saying that, he couldn't help but glanced at Shen Yanjiao again, and immediately blushed again, this time even the tips of his ears were red.
After all, the young man didn't have much money yet. He felt that he was trying to hide it, but he didn't expect everyone to see it, so he couldn't help but tacitly pursed his lips in amusement.
Shen Yanjiao: "..."
Can this child... really become a famous minister in the future?
"Cousin, this is not right,"
Shen Yansong teased, "Why is it that there is only A Liu? Is it possible that there are none for me, your second brother, and your third brother?"
"Brother, there are some here too,"
Fu Yunshan blushed furiously and said hurriedly, "They are all, all, all - in the back -"
Then he quickly explained, "There are too many things to prepare. I came on a small boat and didn't bring everything... My father and mother will come over in a few days, and those boxes and cages are all on their boat."
Shen Yansong deliberately lengthened his voice: "Oh——"
Shen Yanzhang and Shen Yansong also took leave from Taixue today and were at home. When Shen Yansong finished speaking, they both had smiles on their faces and also said in a long voice: "Oh——"
Fu Yunshan: "..."
He wanted to find a crack in the ground and dig into it.
He has never been so confused and disorganized when studying... When the third sister came today, he was completely disorganized.
Fortunately, Mrs. Shen and the others also noticed Fu Yunshan's embarrassment, so they all smiled and changed the subject. After asking some questions about the south, they knew that Fu Yunshan had been working hard all the way, so they had someone take him to rest.
After the group dispersed, Shen Yanjiao was thinking about her embroidery work, so she didn't stay long and retreated with Shen Yanrou and the others.
On the other hand, Shen Yanliu was willing to get close to everyone for the first time. Mrs. Shen even deliberately kept him here, saying that it would not be too late to let Shen Yanliu play for a while before returning.
Shen Yanjiao looked at her brother who was still a little embarrassed, smiled and winked at him, and couldn't help but feel happy when she saw Shen Yanliu nodding to her like a little adult, holding his chest out.
Before entering the garden, I saw Shen Yansong and Fu Yunshan standing on a corridor, talking about something.
Seeing Shen Yanjiao and the others coming over, Shen Yansong coughed twice and said, "Yunshan, please wait here for me... I left something at my grandmother's place. Go back and get it-"
As he spoke, he patted Fu Yunshan on the shoulder, strode away with a smile.
Fu Yunshan blushed again.
Seeing this, Shen Yanrou and Shen Yanwan looked at each other and smiled, pulling Shen Yanqiao together and saying to Shen Yanjiao: "Third sister, you can go on your own first. We are going to pick some jasmine flowers over there-"
Before Shen Yanjiao could speak, the three sisters smiled and avoided it.
Shen Yanjiao: "..."
"Third sister,"
At this time, Fu Yunshan came to Shen Yanjiao with a blushing face and said, "We haven't seen each other for so long. Third sister, do you still remember what you said back then?"
Shen Yanjiao: "...ah...what are you talking about?"
She doesn't remember anything.
"When I left Beijing that year, my third sister said, give me a good thing next time I come back."
Fu Yunshan hurriedly asked, "Did the third sister forget?"
After saying that, he looked at Shen Yanjiao with burning eyes, full of eagerness.
Shen Yanjiao: "..."
This silly kid doesn't have a long memory at all. Every time she cheats him out of something good, she will say this to him...
When did you ever give him anything good? !
Looking at Fu Yunshan's expectant eyes, Shen Yanjiao said silently: "This... I'm afraid there's nothing you like here..."
Uncle Fu's official position is not high, but the Fu family is also a Jiangnan family. Although it has declined somewhat in recent years, the legacy of the big family still exists.
Fu Yunshan is also a young master, and he is not an ignorant person. I am afraid that ordinary things will not catch his eyes. Thinking of this, Shen Yanjiao couldn't help but smile apologetically, looked up at Fu Yunshan and said, "I'm afraid I might be sorry."
Fu Yunshan didn't care about Shen Yanjiao's indifference. At this time, he didn't dare to look directly into Shen Yanjiao's eyes, but fell on the hairpin on Shen Yanjiao's head.
The hairpin with gold threads and beads is an ordinary hairpin for a noble lady, but it seems to be different on the third sister's head. The soft light of the beads makes the leaves of the banana tree in front of the third sister more and more green. So charming.
At this moment, he didn't expect Shen Yanjiao to suddenly raise her eyes and smile.
Seeing the smile in Shen Yan's charming eyes, Fu Yunshan was stunned for a moment: Even the spring water and flowers in the early spring in the south of the Yangtze River can't compare to the twinkling in the third sister's eyes...
Shen Yanjiao: "...cough."
Fu Yunshan was startled out of his wits by Shen Yanjiao's slight cough. His face turned red with embarrassment and he hurriedly turned to one side and turned his eyes.
"Three, third sister,"
He stuttered a little, "You...the corners of your eyes are a little red——"
After saying that, he turned around and looked directly at Shen Yanjiao, with a serious look on his face, "Did someone bully you? Did they bully you into doing embroidery work?"
Shen Yanjiao: "..."
Only then did she remember that when she was a child, she often complained in front of him in order to coax this silly kid, saying that her sisters didn't like her, bullied her, and made her do work...
"Don't be afraid, I'm coming,"
Fu Yunshan hurriedly said solemnly, "I'll go talk to my eldest brother. As long as I'm here, you don't have to worry about anything."
As he said that, his eyes darkened and he turned around to look for Shen Yansong.
Shen Yanjiao was anxious and grabbed his sleeve.
