Pingting beats the immortals fifteen times,
Chang'e dry land lotus during the day.
When Bai Xiaonian came in, he saw Shen Qiaochen not far away lazily leaning on the epiphyllum, gently shaking the white magnolia fan, and these words came to his mind.
Now Shen Qiaochen is only 13 years old, and she is usually very sick. But for some reason, after she fell into the water and woke up, she had the grace of a young girl who had just grown up, and a magnanimity that made people afraid to look directly at her.
On the side, Orange Bai is changing the incense string in the gold enamel nine peach small incense burner, and Granny Lin is standing by the pear wood bookshelf, picking books from the list in her hand.
Everything is quiet and orderly, showing everyone's style.
Bai Xiaonian lowered his eyes jealously and twisted the handkerchief tightly.
Why should Shen Qiao sink her?
She is just a sick girl whose parents are not around. In terms of talent, appearance and conduct, how can I be inferior to her? She just has a father who is a general, so everyone around her has to pamper her and let her go. She is also the granddaughter of the Lin family. Why does everyone only remember her, Shen Qiaochen, when they mention her? Isn't it because her mother is the legitimate daughter of a legitimate wife, while her own mother is the daughter of a concubine?
But……
All of this should be yours! It was she, Shen Qiaochen, who took her place! This time she is lucky...
"Ju Bai, why don't you ask your cousin to sit down?"
Looking at Bai Xiaonian who was standing there in a daze, Shen Qiao said quietly. He swept the crumpled handkerchief in Bai Xiaonian's hand and raised his lips.
Hearing Shen Qiaochen's voice, Bai Xiaonian suddenly came back to his senses. A trace of annoyance flashed through his eyes, and he immediately returned to his usual dignified and gentle appearance.
"Sister, you're too polite." Bai Xiaonian said warmly, then walked to an armchair nearby and sat down.
"I came suddenly and disturbed my sister's purity."
"It's okay." Shen Qiao gently stroked his forehead, still looking sickly.
The wide sleeves slipped from the bright white wrist, revealing the exquisite mutton-fat white jade bracelet on the wrist.
At this time, Qingdai came in carrying a food box, walked to the table, put it down, and took out a bowl of steaming soup from the inside.
"Girl, this is what the old lady just ordered. She said she just got it yesterday."
Shen Qiaochen nodded, took the medicine bowl slowly, and took a sip.
Bai Xiaonian's eyes flashed, and seeing that Shen Qiaochen had no intention of talking, he could only continue: "I heard that there were guests in the house yesterday, and my mother and I didn't want to disturb them. My aunt came back from the palace and didn't go to say hello. I don't know. Does grandma blame it.”
Seeing her calm and generous appearance, but there were overt and covert temptations in her expressions and words, Shen Qiaochen suddenly felt extremely boring. With such a hypocritical face that could not be put on the stage, she could deceive herself in the past life, which shows that she How stupid it was.
Too lazy to give in to Bai Xiao Nianxu, he drank the soup in his hand and casually took the candied apricots handed over by Qing Dai. Suppressing the bitter taste in his mouth, Shen Qiaochen stood up directly and walked towards the door.
"I'm going to Jinghe Hall, will my cousin come with me?"
Seeing Shen Qiaochen leave a word and then slowly walk out holding the orange-white hand, not taking him seriously at all, Bai Xiaonian secretly resented it, but he could only grit his teeth and follow.
…
Yilan Courtyard is not far from Jinghe Hall. It usually only takes a cup of tea, but today it took a stick of incense.
Although it is spring, the sunshine at nearly noon is already very fierce. Master Shen Qiao and his servant Shen Qiao held umbrellas and walked leisurely and very comfortably, but Bai Xiaonian followed behind and was dizzy and a bit embarrassed.
But she couldn't say anything yet. Who didn't know that Miss Shen Si had been weak since she was a child, unable to be blown by the wind or exposed to the rain. She would take three breaths for every step she took, so she could only stare at Shen Qiaochen's back with resentful eyes.
Seeing that the three characters Jinghetang were finally clearly visible, Bai Xiaonian slowly breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head to straighten his clothes, and raised his head with that gentle smile again.
This expression was noticed by Shen Qiaochen, who just sneered secretly without saying a word, and walked straight into the door of Jinghe Hall with Ju Bai.
Before he even reached the corridor, Liusu and someone hurriedly greeted him. First, he looked at Shen Qiaochen's face carefully and found nothing wrong. Then he felt relieved and said to Shen Qiao and Shen Fushen with a smile.
"I've seen the fourth girl, and just now the little maid came to report that she seemed to have seen you coming this way from a distance, so my servant came out to greet you."
After saying that, he seemed to notice Bai Xiaonian following him, so he smiled and greeted her again.
"Is grandma busy?" Shen Qiaochen asked softly.
"The old lady knows that you are here for lunch. She ordered the kitchen to prepare a lot of dishes early in the morning. They are all your favorites. They are waiting for you now."
After speaking, he paused, glanced at Bai Xiaonian, who had his head lowered, and lowered his voice and said, "Mrs. Bai is also in there."
Shen Qiao was startled when she heard this, glanced at Liusu, nodded slightly, and walked into the house holding the orange-white hand.
As soon as he entered the door, he could hear a woman's laughter coming from the direction of Tojima. The voice sounded cheerful and straightforward.
Liusu personally stepped forward to open the curtain for Shen Qiaochen, and several people filed in. Several people in the room immediately heard the sound and looked towards the door.
Mrs. Shen, wearing a red sandalwood-colored crane, auspicious grass, five bats, clouds, and a pair of breasts, sat on the pear flower Arhat bed directly above. On the armchairs on both sides of the lower body sat the second young master Shen Qiaoqi and a very elegantly dressed lady. He looked quite happy.
"Grandma~" Shen Qiaochen walked forward slowly, blessed her slowly, and called softly after standing up.
Looking at her granddaughter's pretty little face, Mrs. Shen's smile deepened. Her old and wise eyes were full of love and compassion. She stretched out her hand to let Shen Qiaochen sit next to her.
When Bai Xiaonian saw this, he also smiled and stepped forward to greet him. He looked dignified, self-possessed, and behaved in a measured manner.
Mrs. Shen nodded approvingly when she saw it.
"Sister Nian is very good. She is gentle, gentle, and beautiful. She is not like you in this way." The last sentence was said to Bai Lin who was sitting beside her.
Bai Lin looks to be in her thirties, with only a delicate face. She is wearing an amber-colored silk jacket. Except for the plain jade hairpin in her hair, she has no other jewelry on her body. She looks very harmless, and it is difficult to find it. Imagine that the hearty laughter just now came from her mouth.
She looked at her daughter sitting next to her with satisfaction and smiled: "I would rather she be more like me. This girl knows music, chess, calligraphy and painting all day long. She really looks like her grandfather."
Then he looked straight at Shen Qiaochen and said with a smile: "Xiao Qiao is still as good as a girl."
Before Shen Qiaochen could speak, a sneer came from the door, and a sapphire blue figure flashed in.
"Auntie, why are you so happy? I heard your voice outside." Shen Qiaoran stepped forward to greet her, looked around lazily, and then sat down next to Shen Qiaoqi.
Shen Qiaoqi said slowly: "My aunt said that the girl's family should be like Xiao Qiao, and she is asking my cousin to follow her example."
Bai Xiaonian suddenly raised his head and stared at Shen Qiaoqi. Bai Lin beside him quickly pinched her quietly.
Shen Qiaoran nodded as if he suddenly understood, and agreed: "That's true. Xiao Qiao has always spoken softly and unhurriedly, which is what a lady from a famous family should be. Naturally, not everyone can do it for us, the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion. Comparable."
At the end of the sentence, she looked like "my sister is the most beautiful lady in the world".
Because there was a vision from the sky when he was born, he was also the twins of dragon and phoenix, which symbolized good omen. Unlike his younger sister who was fragile since childhood, Mr. Shen has lived a smooth life since he was a child, and he has been protected by his parents and brothers. He has always been a proud son of heaven. Among the young men from aristocratic families of the same age in Beijing, he is also unparalleled in his arrogant temperament.
Seeing that what he said became more and more outrageous, the faces of Bai and his daughter became darker and darker. Shen Qiaochen said, "Grandma, it's time to eat."
