"Miss, miss, it's not good!"
A shout suddenly interrupted her melancholy thoughts.
Shu Zhihan turned around and saw her personal maid running towards her in a hurry.
"Miyue, how many times have I told you, you are not allowed to shout loudly in the house, otherwise you will have to be punished if you are looked at by eldest sister and the others."
"Yes, Miss, I know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it next time." Mi Yue put her five fingers together, raised them to her forehead, and stuck out her tongue.
Shu Zhihan took the notebook in her hand and tapped her head gently, "You are the one who suffers because of your carelessness."
"How could it be possible? Mi Yue is not afraid of anything as long as the lady is here."
Hearing this, Shu Zhihan couldn't help but lower her eyes, a trace of loneliness floated in her eyes, and she tried her best to squeeze out a smile, "I also have too much time to take care of myself in this house."
These words seemed to be spoken to her, but also seemed to be spoken to herself.
Shu Zhihan shook her head gently and asked with a smile: "By the way, you yelled just now. What happened?"
She blinked her big, watery eyes and stared at Miyue with an innocent expression, as if she was preparing to hear some story.
"Yes, yes, miss, I just heard that there is a happy event happening in our house."
"Silly girl, how can you say it's bad to have a happy event? But what kind of happy event is it? Why didn't I hear about it?"
Mi Yue frowned, with a look of worry on her face, "I heard it's a marriage to General Wu Bian, but I don't know who it is yet. No, the master has asked you and the ladies to go to the study together. The eldest lady and the second lady They have already gone."
Shu Zhihan turned to look at Xiao Heyi beside her with some doubts, as if she wanted to find something in his eyes.
He shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "That's what I came here for today, but after thinking about it, there's nothing to worry about. Grand Master Shu has always loved you the most, and I'm sure he won't let you go to that stupid place." The place suffers.”
"Father, can you tell me which General Wubian he is?"
Mi Yue shook her head in confusion, "I don't know."
Although Shu Zhihan felt confused, she was not timid. She looked at her with a smile and said, "Let's go and have a look."
Xiao Heyi knew that it was inconvenient to follow him, so he said goodbye hastily and left.
There was silence in the study.
After Shu Zhihan entered, she felt that the emotions inside were so suppressed that she was almost suffocating.
"Father."
Shu Yuancun turned around and glanced at her with a solemn expression, "You are all here. It seems that you all know about the marriage granted by the Holy Spirit."
He clasped his hands behind his back, glanced at the daughters in front of him, and sighed softly, "The emperor has granted me a marriage to the legitimate daughter of the Shu family, to General Anyuan Luo Jinyu."
When Shu Qingyao heard this, she was stunned and hurriedly grabbed the arm of her mother, Mrs. Madam, and shook her head violently. Tears fell from her eyes, "Mother, if your daughter doesn't marry, she will be a living king of hell who kills without blinking an eye. ah."
She was wiping away tears as she spoke, looking like a pear blossom with raindrops, which would break the heart of anyone who saw her.
Hearing Shu Yuancun's words, the second lady and Shu Qingyan couldn't help covering their mouths with a handkerchief and snickering, thinking that no matter what, this matter would not fall on them.
The eldest lady saw her precious daughter stomping on the three-inch golden lotus with a look of grievance, and couldn't help but step forward and said: "Master, is there no room for change?"
"How do you tell me to change the situation? The decree has been issued. I think it will be at my house in a short time."
The eldest lady grabbed Shu Yuancun's sleeves and said, "Master, this is absolutely impossible. I am just a daughter. If I really marry into that poor place, wouldn't it cost me my life?"
Hearing these words, Shu Yuancun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then he shook her hard and threw her directly to the ground. "This matter has been decided and there is no need to discuss it further."
When the second lady saw this scene, she immediately pulled up the eldest lady who was sitting on the ground and whispered in her ear: "Sister, the master is angry now. This matter should be discussed later. Get up first."
In desperation, the eldest lady let her help her up with tears in her eyes.
The shout of "The imperial edict has arrived" came from outside. They straightened their clothes and ran out to receive the edict as quickly as possible.
That imperial edict seemed like a hot potato. Shu Yuancun thought about it in his mind, and there was more than just one thing to worry about.
The eldest lady followed him to the study, shed tears, stepped forward and cried, "Master, I only have a daughter, she is so fragile, do you really have the heart to let her marry in that windy and sandy place? "
"Then come and give me some advice, how do you want to disobey this imperial edict?"
"Master, think about it, the imperial edict only said that the daughter of the Shu family was the legitimate daughter, but it didn't say that she was the eldest daughter." The eldest lady's still charming body lightly bumped against Shu Yuancun.
She said in a faint voice: "Master, think about it, since Mrs. Chen passed away, those two girls have also been under me. Strictly speaking, they are also legitimate daughters."
Shu Yuancun looked at her smug look and couldn't help but shook his head, "You can imagine that you are reluctant to let go of your own child, but let someone else's child take his place."
He shook off the eldest lady's hand and turned back to the desk. Suddenly, a plan came to his mind. If it was true as she said, it would be a good idea. After all, this marriage could not be postponed.
"master......"
Shu Yuancun looked up at her and sighed heavily, "Well, let me leave this matter to you. As for Yao'er, let Han'er go."
The eldest lady couldn't help being stunned when she heard his words, thinking that she didn't hear clearly, and her face was full of disbelief.
She thought to herself that since the girl was born, Shu Yuancun could not dote on her enough and put her first in everything. Why would he take the initiative to send her to that barbaric land this time.
"Master, are you sure you were talking about Shu Zhihan just now and not Shu Qingcheng?"
"Don't ask me to say some things a second time. Arrange them properly."
After hearing this, the eldest lady stopped asking any more questions. She thought to herself, no matter who he was, as long as it was not her Yao'er, wouldn't it be better if that girl left? With this thought, she left the study happily. .
The news quickly spread throughout the Shu Mansion. Shu Qingyao and Shu Qingyan were so happy that they couldn't help but laugh at Shu Zhihan who was about to marry away to a wild land.
Shu Zhihan felt helpless that she was the last one to find out about her marriage.
Shu Zhihan thought to herself, maybe this is fate, and couldn't help but think of what her mother said before when she was still alive. Her father's love is changeable, and you can't be arrogant because of it. Knowing how to stay humble is the way to live a stable life. Lift.
Thinking like this, she no longer blamed others. After the eldest lady told her about this, she had slowly begun to prepare the dowry.
Shu Qingcheng felt sorry for his sister, but didn't know how to forgive him, so he wiped his tears silently and quietly helped her prepare.
"Oh, fifth sister, look at it, my father is really not just partial. He has prepared so much dowry for you. He is really envious of others." Shu Qingyao looked at her with disdainful eyes, and the curve of her mouth was raised. , revealing full pride.
Shu Qingcheng couldn't help but tremble when he saw her condescending look. He gently tugged on Shu Zhihan's sleeves, shook his head, and signaled her not to cause trouble.
Shu Zhihan didn't take it seriously, patted her hand, walked out from behind her with a smile, "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be the eldest sister. Does the eldest sister care about my dowry?"
"That's it? It really doesn't catch my eye."
Shu Zhihan smiled and took a step forward, "Let me tell you, if the eldest sister is very rare, she won't go out of her way to give these to me."
"You... to see how long you can still be proud, go to that wolf's den and see how sharp-tongued you can be."
Shu Qingyao slammed the notebook in her hand on the pile of dowry, "Here, this is my sister's wedding gift to you. Take a good look, this is your future husband. "
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but pick up the handkerchief and cover her mouth with a smile, with a hint of pride in her smile.
Shu Qingcheng watched her eldest sister leave before she dared to walk out. He hesitated and reached out to pick up the notebook. He flipped through it a few times and screamed loudly.
"What's wrong, Fourth Sister?" Shu Zhihan was startled when she heard the sudden cry and immediately turned around to look.
She frowned and walked over, took the storybook in her hand and looked at it. What kind of storybook was this? It was just a biography of Luo Jinyu, the Living King of Hell.
Shu Zhihan became more interested, "Fourth sister, did you scream when you saw this?"
"I'm sorry, fifth sister, I didn't mean it, but... just, oh, look what are these? Let's not talk about his appearance, just look at him and the two attendants. oops......"
Shu Qingcheng looked indifferent, but found that Shu Zhihan was looking at it with gusto, and shook his head helplessly.
The Luo Jinyu in the book is tall, with dark skin, a rough face, triangular eyes, and a fierce light in his eyes. With the eyebrows in his eyes, he looks like the King of Hell. Plus the other one Two of them, aren't they the black and white and impermanent people in the rumors?
Seeing this, Shu Zhihan couldn't help laughing.
Shu Qingcheng felt a little baffled when he saw it, "Fifth sister, you can still laugh after seeing this? Aren't you even worried?"
"Fourth sister, don't worry. If you think about it, when have you ever seen a person with such a look? Come to think of it, it must be the eldest sister who asked someone to draw it deliberately to scare me.
Besides, if this Luo Jinyu is really as described in this book, then he will not pay much attention to me, then I am just trying to be free and at ease. "
Seeing her speaking so easily, Shu Qingcheng felt even more sad, thinking that she was just saying these words to comfort herself.
