"Third sister——"
Fu Yunshan wiped his face fiercely and looked at Shen Yanjiao, who had her back turned to him, with a collapsed expression, "You're laughing."
"No,"
Shen Yanjiao suppressed her smile, turned around, and insisted, "Where is it?"
"Third sister doesn't care about me at all,"
Fu Yunshan's eyes were red, "It turns out it's just me..."
Self-indulgent.
He couldn't say the second half of the sentence, and at the same time, he refused to believe that the third sister wouldn't like him.
"You,"
Shen Yanjiao smiled, went over and poured him a cup of tea, tried it and it wasn't too hot, then handed it to him and said, "Drink some water and I'll tell you."
Fu Yunshan took it honestly and took a long sip, then looked expectantly at Shen Yanjiao.
Shen Ning, who was on the other side of the partition, tightened her heart, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted out of shape by her inadvertently. She was really afraid that the two of them would get into sex with each other...
That would really be...what a shame.
"Tell you the truth,"
After Fu Yunshan drank the water, Shen Yanjiao handed him another handkerchief to wipe his face, and then slowly said, "I only have a cousin like you, the closest cousin I have gotten along with since childhood... ...Of course I don’t want to lose you.”
"Then I'll take you away,"
Fu Yunshan didn't know where the madness came from, gritted his teeth and said, "The sky is high and the sea is vast, there is always a place for you and me."
He couldn't watch the third sister being sad for him. How could he be willing to let the third sister lose him?
Shen Yanjiao was startled:
Does this mean he wants to elope with her?
She never expected that Fu Yunshan would be so deviant in his heart. This was truly audacious.
Shen Ning stood up anxiously on the other side of the partition.
"No, that's not what I meant,"
Shen Yanjiao immediately said solemnly, "Cousin, what are you thinking about?"
"What are you afraid of?"
Fu Yunshan frowned and said, "The rules in this world are all designed for stupid people. They just want people to be obedient slaves - if you don't have the courage to break these constraints, how can you achieve your goal?"
Shen Yanjiao: "..."
She really had a clear vision of this future generation of famous ministers.
Despite his usual uprightness and courtesy... it's just a disguise to confuse people.
She guessed that the young man's resistance this time was not all because of the "affection" that had just emerged, but was probably also dissatisfaction with the family authority that suppressed him regardless of his own wishes.
"That's not what I meant,"
Shen Yanjiao composed herself and did not dare to look down on the child. She hurriedly said seriously, "I mean, wouldn't it be better for you to always be my cousin?"
Fu Yunshan was startled.
"That's right,"
Shen Yanjiao hurriedly explained, "If I change my identity... wouldn't I lose Yunshan's cousin who always calls me third sister?"
After Fu Yunshan understood what she meant, he looked at her like a fool and said, "Third sister, what are you talking about?"
"Don't be too demanding in your life,"
Shen Yanjiao smiled and said, "When the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it wanes. What's more, it's not a separation of life and death. You and I are still close cousins. In the future, you will definitely settle down in Beijing. I made delicious food. If you have something fun—you can ask someone to deliver it to you later.”
Fu Yunshan was silent.
"When the wind is nice and the sun is shining, or the grass is growing and the orioles are flying, our two families can still go out together in the spring, drink and have fun——"
Shen Yanjiao smiled and spread her hands as she spoke, "Shuanglu hut, Go, polo...etc., why can't we play together?"
After a pause, he said softly, "Why bother asking for something else? For no other reason than that, have you seen that my aunt has a few more white hairs on her temples -"
She bet on the fact that this future famous minister, who was still a teenager, didn't quite understand the meaning of husband and wife, and on the child's deep filial piety.
Hearing what Shen Yanjiao said, before Fu Yunshan said anything, Shen Ning on the other side of the partition burst into tears: She had really misjudged the third girl, what a good child.
As expected, as Shen Yanjiao expected, the young boy who was in a period of ignorance was momentarily deceived by what she said.
Fu Yunshan looked at Shen Yanjiao with red eyes, obviously a little shaken: Don't husband and wife always stay together...
Then in the future we can see the third sister and get along with each other.
He knew that the couple would sleep together at night, but he heard from his grandma that he would grind his teeth while sleeping... If he slept with the third sister, he was afraid that the third sister would dislike him.
His feet still smell a bit...
The third sister will definitely dislike it even more.
Besides, he was also very tired from his homework, and he tried his best not to be mediocre... He spent too much time studying, practicing calligraphy, writing articles, practicing riding and shooting, and so on. It was not possible for him to just be with his third sister. Always free to joke.
"Why are you so stubborn?"
Shen Yanjiao noticed the young man's confusion, smiled and flicked his forehead and said, "What are you fooling around about? Why don't you get up and freshen up and eat?"
Fu Yunshan calmed down, looked at Shen Yanjiao and said, "But if you don't marry me... what will you do if others bully you in the future?"
Shen Yanjiao felt hot in her heart, looked at him with a smile and said, "Even if the other brothers don't help me, isn't there still my cousin Yunshan?"
After saying that, he winked and smiled at Fu Yunshan and added, "When you get rich in the future, you have to look after me - if someone bullies me, I will wait for my cousin to vent his anger on me."
"rest assured,"
Fu Yunshan immediately said harshly, "Whoever dares to bully you will die without a burial place."
Shen Yanjiao: "..."
What a cruel little boy.
Fortunately, the little boy finally returned to a little normal, and Shen Yanjiao finally gave the old lady and aunt an explanation.
Needless to say, the old lady, Shen Ning regretted and loved Shen Yanjiao even more. On the night when Shen Yanjiao left from Dongkuaoyuan, Shen Ning asked the nanny beside her to give Shen Yanjiao a big gift.
"Put it away,"
Looking at the box of fine Nanzhu sent by Shen Ning, Shen Yanjiao was not polite and directly ordered her grandma to put it away, "There will be many places to use money in the future."
All the money she prepared for the future was for Shen Yanliu.
Shen Yanliu could not enter an official career and was raised by his family. But in the future, when you become an adult, you will also need to get married. Once you get married and become an adult, all the children who are not direct descendants will inevitably start separate families.
Although there will be a certain share of industry, how much will it be? The days are long, should Shen Yanliu just sit there and live in vain? Is it an easy life to look up to others and beg for money... Is it an easy life?
Besides, Shen Yanliu was in a situation like this. He was a concubine, he was disabled, and he couldn't see a future. He must be marrying a very poor candidate.
Thinking of what happened to her younger brother in her previous life, Shen Yanjiao's heart bleeds. In this life, she must earn a richer family fortune for Shen Yanliu no matter what.
The twists and turns regarding the marriage with the Fu family have gradually subsided. Those who don't know the inside story can forget it. As long as those in the Shen family who know some inside information look at Shen Yanjiao with a little more respect:
After all, this matter is not something the Fu family dislikes, but the fault of the old man of the Fu family. It stands to reason that the three girls are the most injured, but these three girls have remained dignified and self-possessed in the past few days, without showing any signs of childishness. The gaffe comes...
What a good education.
Shen Yanjiao silently accepted this unearned favor.
The haze dissipated, and Shen's mansion was full of joy again. The party mentioned on Chinese Valentine's Day had been successfully prepared. Early that morning, Shen Yanjiao and others got into the cars arranged by the mansion.
Shen Yanjiao took Shen Yanliu in a car. As soon as he got in the car, Shen Yanliu lay on the window and looked eagerly at the brothers of the Shen family who were riding outside.
"Aliu, do you want to ride a horse?"
Shen Yansong rode over and said with a smile, "Brother, will I take you for a ride?"
Shen Yanjiao was startled. It was rare for his brother-in-law to take the initiative to show his kindness.
"real?"
Shen Yanliu's eyes lit up and he turned back to look at Shen Yanjiao.
Seeing Shen Yanjiao nodding, Shen Yanliu happily allowed his brother-in-law to pick him up on the horse and sat in front of Shen Yansong.
"Third sister, I'll take A Liu ahead -"
Shen Yansong smiled and said, "Brother Gu is waiting for me in front. I will go with him... Don't worry, I will be careful and I won't fall and knock A Liu."
Shen Yanjiao was startled:
Brother Gu?
Before she could recover, Shen Yansong had already galloped to the front of the convoy.
Shen Yanjiao frowned in confusion, Brother Gu, Gu Nazhang?
But this time it was just a family dinner for the Shen family. The Shen family only invited a few relatives, and no outsiders were invited. After all, how can our sisters have fun when there are foreign guests?
Besides, there are certain things to be careful about when inviting foreign guests. If you really invite only one Gu Nazhang, then if you don't invite the children from other families who have friendship with the Shen family... you will have to do it for the sake of face.
After a while, the second girl, Shen Yanwan, probably saw Shen Yanliu leaving with Shen Yansong, and she transferred to Shen Yanjiao's car. She was always well-informed, so Shen Yanjiao immediately knew the whole story.
"You mean, that Mr. Gu..."
Shen Yanjiao frowned slightly, "He is next to the village in our house. There is also a village? Did they happen to meet each other this time?"
She had spent so many years in the British government in her previous life, and she really didn't know that the British government had a village there.
"Yes, so eldest brother invited Mr. Gu to join us,"
Shen Yanwan smiled and said, "We are both neighbors and friends, so naturally we cannot see each other outside."
After thinking of something, he smiled and lowered his voice, and whispered in Shen Yanjiao's ear, "You don't know yet, right? In addition to Mr. Gu from the British government, our eldest brother's sweetheart will also take her with him." My uncle’s cousin is coming over for a banquet——”
Shen Yanjiao's eyes flashed: "Eldest brother's sweetheart...sister of the Qin family?"
Shen Yansong has already made an appointment for a girl from the Qin family in the capital. This is known to everyone in the family. They have officially discussed the marriage and are just waiting for the wedding date.
According to the custom of this dynasty, only the two parties waiting for the wedding are no longer outsiders, and there are no rules to avoid it. This time at the family banquet of Zhuangzi in the western suburbs, Shen Yansong invited the girl from the Qin family, which was the right thing to do.
"Do you know who the Qin sister's cousin is?"
Shen Yanwan smiled and said, "I'm afraid you've heard of it. All the storytellers in the capital have mentioned that person -"
"who?"
Shen Yanjiao couldn't remember who she was referring to.
"Nie Xiao,"
Shen Yanwan laughed softly and said, "General Nie's brave and skilled young son - the one known as Fuhu Langjun, I heard that he fought against tigers... I really want to see what that man looks like - can he Where is Fuhu!"
"Nie Xiao?"
Only then did Shen Yanjiao remember that this person was also a famous person in this dynasty.
In her previous life, she knew about the affair. This man married the princess about a year later and ended his career as a military commander. Of course, there is a lot of glory and wealth, but it is a pity that he has no ability, and in the end he does not become anything great.
If he hadn't been a prince-in-law, this man's achievements would have been unparalleled based on his ability and family background.
