When Qi Xueyan went home, she naturally exaggerated the help Prince Duan gave her. At Qi Xueyan's request, Master Qi and Mrs. Qi also agreed to entertain Prince Duan as a thank you. Knowing that her parents agreed, Qi Xueyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. , just thinking about how Shen Jingshu and Prince Duan were together today, I still feel uncomfortable.
I really want to ask in person, but I don't have a chance today, so I have to wait until tomorrow.
After sleeping unsteadily, Qi Xueyan woke up early the next day, and she didn't even go to Shen Jingshu's house for a long time to look for her, but she went today.
Early in the morning, Shen Jingshu was still eating, so of course she didn't dare to tell Shan Banyue what happened yesterday, and she even asked Chunmei not to tell, Chunmei had no choice but to keep silent in the end. So the Shen family had nothing to do yesterday, today Shen Jingshu got up as usual and had dinner with Shan Banyan. But before they finished eating, they heard Qi Xueyan coming.
"Hehe, the snow geese are here? Let her come in and sit down!" Qi Xueyan hadn't come to Shen's residence for a long time, but Yang Huilan and Kong Xinhe were the ones who came more, Shan Banyue didn't feel anything at first. But then gradually found out, but she didn't ask too much.
It is good for my daughter to have more friends. As for those who are not sincere, it is also good to have less contact.
"Yes, ma'am!" Qi Xueyan was also anxious, and she couldn't sleep because of what happened yesterday, so she came early in the morning. But she didn't expect that Shen Jingshu hadn't gone out yet, so she could only go in, "Hello, Mrs. Shen!" Maybe it was because of a change of mood, although the two of them were still good friends on the surface, but in many cases, there were not many people who really communicated with each other. of.
"The snow geese are here, have you had breakfast, do you want to eat together?"
"No Mrs. Shen, I already had breakfast, I just wanted to go to the academy with Jingshu, and stopped by to have a look, but I didn't expect your children to be eating, it was really disturbing."
"It's okay, we're almost finished eating!" Smiling, seeing that Qi Xueyan didn't eat, Shan Banyan didn't force her, but just asked Qi Xueyan to sit down and greeted her nicely. When Shen Jingshu finished eating, Shan Banyan would tidy up for her daughter. He took off his clothes, "Okay, let's go, don't make Xueyan wait too long."
"Mom, I understand, then I'm leaving!"
"Well, be careful on the road!"
"Madam Shen bid farewell!"
"I will come to play often in the future, and Shu'er is always talking about you!"
"Yes, Mrs. Shen!" With a smile, Qi Xueyan realized that she was a little impulsive while waiting here. She came here so early, how can she ask in a while? Would she be too eager for this
Although he regretted it a little now, Qi Xueyan had come all the way, and there was nothing he could do. He got into the carriage with Shen Jingshu, and the two of them were talking and laughing. Qi Xueyan tried her best to refer to yesterday's topic, and Shen Jingshu knew that Qi Xueyan wanted to ask about Prince Duan's son, so naturally she didn't deliberately prevent the other party from asking.
She didn't want to escape today, and tomorrow. Qi Xueyan is not one to give up easily, she had better say it earlier!
"By the way, Xueyan, are you okay when you went back yesterday? Master Qi and the others are worried?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm fine. My parents are also relieved. They even said they're going to entertain Prince Duan. It's all thanks to him." In fact, shouldn't Qi Xueyan be most grateful to Shen Jingshu for this matter? ? If there was no Shen Jingshu, how could Duan Wangshizi make a move
It's just that some people don't want to admit it, so they choose to ignore it deliberately.
"Yeah, if I hadn't met Prince Duan yesterday, I wouldn't know what to do, but luckily you're all right!" Thinking about it now, she was afraid for a while, and Shen Jingshu still couldn't figure it out when she thought about that cold man. How could the other party help him.
The prince Duan she knew was not like this.
"By the way, Jingshu, speaking of Prince Duan, how did you know him? And he helped you, are you familiar?" When did the person in front of you become so familiar with Prince Duan? How could such an honorable person suddenly help the person in front of him
"Hehe, Xueyan, what are you talking about? How come I know Prince Duan very well? I have only met him a few times. The first time was when I was at your house, do you remember?"
"What happened after that? Have you ever met?" Qi Xueyan didn't think Prince Duan was the kind of person who would help others once he met him! So she thought in her heart that Shen Jingshu was hiding something!
"One time the prince came to my house to return the gift. I saw it once. After that, I never saw it again." Knowing that Qi Xueyan didn't believe it, Shen Jingshu had no choice but to say that they met once, but Qi Xueyan still didn't believe it. "Really? You've only met twice? But why are you so familiar?" People who have met twice, logically say that the first time they can't talk, how can they help
Thinking of Prince Duan's indifference towards him, Qi Xueyan couldn't figure it out.
why? Why would such a cold person treat Shen Jingshu differently? Is there anything between them that she doesn't know
Qi Xueyan guessed that Shen Jingshu was hiding something, and she was quite unhappy. When Shen Jingshu saw her, she had no choice but to explain, "Really, Xueyan, why did I lie to you when I have nothing to do? Prince Duan helped me yesterday. For my father's sake? He met me at my house, so he naturally knows that I am my father's daughter, doesn't he always want to see my father's face?" He is only serving as magistrate in these two prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, but once Shen Wenhua returns to Beijing, he will definitely be given a heavy responsibility.
"So that's how it is!" This time Qi Xueyan, although you still had some doubts, didn't ask any further questions. It's just that I feel more jealous towards Shen Jingshu in my heart.
Is it true that Prince Duan looks at her differently just because his status is a little higher than hers
Shen Jingshu, Shen Jingshu, why do you want to stand in front of me
"Of course it is, otherwise Xueyan, what do you think?" Smiling, Shen Jingshu laughed heartlessly, she didn't think much about that childish face at all, Qi Xueyan withdrew her curiosity, shifted Let's talk about the topic, so as not to ask too many questions, and make Shen Jingshu feel confused.
…
When they arrived at the school, when Shen Jingshu and Qi Xueyan got off the carriage together, they happened to see Yang Huilan and Kong Xinhe coming, and they greeted each other. Yang Huilan saw Qi Xueyan leave, and immediately pulled Shen Jingshu past, "Jingshu, why are you talking to her?" Come together? What happened?" You know, Qi Xueyan hasn't come to school with Shen Jingshu for a long time!
"It's nothing, it's just a coincidence, okay, let's go to class, it's time!" Not wanting to worry about the two of them, Shen Jingshu left with a smile, Yang Huilan wanted to say something, Kong Xinhe pulled her, Shaking her head, Yang Huilan immediately sighed, "That Qi Xueyan is uneasy and kind, I'm worried that Jingshu will be bullied by her!"
"Hui Lan, I've known Jing Shu for so long, don't you know who Jing Shu is? Don't worry, it's okay, Jing Shu has a sense of proportion!" Although Shen Jingshu always put on a bewildered expression when facing Qi Xueyan The other party seemed to be manipulating, but Kong Xinhe knew that Shen Jingshu had never suffered from Qi Xueyan.
"Hey, I don't know what Jingshu is going to do. It's obvious that Qi Xueyan has ulterior motives, and Jingshu is still dating her!"
"Okay, let's go, Jingshu must have her own ideas, and we don't want to influence her."
"Okay, okay, let's go!" Shaking her head helplessly, Yang Huilan is not stupid, of course she knows that Shen Jingshu has a reason for doing this, but she just feels uncomfortable in her heart!
…
After this incident, Master Qi really invited Prince Duan, saying that he wanted to thank him, but Prince Duan refused on the grounds that he was unwell, which made Master Qi very embarrassed, "This Prince Duan really didn't give it to me. We save face!" He kindly thanked him, is there any need for this
"Master, don't be angry!"
"Hey, they're all geese too, making me feel ashamed!" Prince Duan rejected him on the grounds of poor health without even giving him a chance, how could Master Qi be reconciled
"Yan'er is also kind. Since Prince Duan is not feeling well, let's send some gifts over. It is our heart, and Prince Duan is not easy to refuse, is it?"
"Now, that's the only way to go. It's really..." Although he was unhappy, Master Qi would not really let anything happen just because of Prince Duan's refusal. He is clear about the identity of Prince Duan's son and his identity. If someone is willing to come, it will give him great face, but even if he doesn't come, he can't pick out their courtesy.
"Then master, what should I give you?"
"You can figure it out!" Feeling uncomfortable, Master Qi didn't bother to take care of it, so he just left the matter to Mrs. Qi and left. Mrs. Qi was disappointed and sighed in her heart when she saw her master's disappointment, "Hey..."
Why did my family marry such a husband? I feel sorry for my two sons and daughters...
Thinking that her son and daughter are getting older, but they have not yet settled down, Mrs. Qi is also worried. At Qi Shaodong's place, Mrs. Qi knew that she was interested in Shen Jingshu, but now the relationship between the two governments is not as good as before, and Mrs. Qi can no longer directly propose marriage as before. Now Qi Shaodong has to work hard to make Shen Jingshu care about him. It's better to settle this matter sooner.
and daughter...
Thinking of the look in her daughter's eyes when she mentioned Prince Duan, Mrs. Qi couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Prince Duan's son has a noble status, so of course she wants such a son-in-law, but it is precisely because of this status that her own daughter is not worthy.
Although Mrs. Qi is high-spirited, she knows how to measure it, and she doesn't have unrealistic dreams. If Qi Xueyan was in Shen Jingshu's position, she might still think about it and use some tricks, but now so...
This can only be blamed for their bad luck.
…
Of course, Shen Jingshu didn't know what the Qi family was doing, anyway, she lived her life as usual. In a blink of an eye, the weather became warmer. Shen Jingshu hadn't gone out for a long time. She discussed with Yang Huilan and the others that they planned to go for an outing in the wild. The weather was fine this day, and it happened that the college was on holiday again. up.
"Now that the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, there are beautiful scenery everywhere. Look at the rapeseed flowers and those wild flowers, they are so beautiful!" Although these flowers are not as exquisite as those potted plants at home, the flowers are very beautiful one by one, making people feel happy. People are pleasing to watch.
"Yeah, it's really beautiful. It's a huge area, and it makes people feel happy when they look at it!" The few girls seldom went out to play, and they were happy in their hearts. They were chatting and laughing in the carriage, so lively!
"We're going to Taoyuan today, right? I heard that the peach blossoms there are in full bloom. It's like it's raining petals all over the mountains and plains. People who have been there say it's beautiful!"
"Yeah, Taoyuan is the busiest at this time of the year, and we'll have to have fun for a while!"
"It's natural!" After riding in the carriage for more than an hour, they finally came to Taoyuan. Spring is the season for outings, and there are a lot of people here, but the folk customs of Dachu are open, and the girls of Shen Jingshu got out of the carriage and started to stroll.
"Wow, it's so beautiful. Look, the petals are so beautiful!" Once you walk in, it's like entering a fairyland. The petals fall one by one, which makes people feel happy when they look at it.
"Yeah, I really wish I could paint this scene!"
"In February, the spring returns to the rainy days, and the green peach blossoms feel like a fleeting year. There are still three thousand trees that are still red, and they are not as fresh as the first bloom. It is really beautiful!"
"Hehe, Xinhe, you have also learned to be a poet. When I go back, I painted a picture. Don't forget to write a poem!"
"Let you see a joke!"
"What are you talking about!" After a year of getting along, the girls are already familiar with each other. Shen Jingshu admires Yang Huilan's straightforwardness, and also likes Kong Xinhe's intelligence. Whenever she sees these two good friends, Shen Jingshu is very happy.
In this life, she is finally not alone. She has family, friends, and younger brother. Her future life will only get better and better!
"Let's go, Jingshu, Xinhe, let's go and have a look!" Yang Huilan looked at the beautiful scenery, and went in with one hand in hand. The few people talked and laughed along the way, and finally Shen Jingshu suddenly thought of something, and suggested, "Why don't we take some peach petals back, I heard that they can be used to make wine, and they can also be eaten as crispy candies, it must be delicious! "
"That's a good proposal, let's go, let's take some more back, and when the time comes, the wine will be brewed, let's taste it together!"
"Yes, Xinhe, I heard that your cook is pretty good. I ate very good dim sum last time I went there. How about asking your cook to cook for us then?"
"sure!"
"It's not convenient for several people to be together, why don't we separate and meet here after an hour?"
"good!"
After discussing with each other, the three of them left with their maidservants. They prepared things for peach petals and had a great time.
Shen Jingshu walked and admired the scenery, and unconsciously walked into the depths of Taoyuan. When Shen Jingshu came back to her senses, she seemed to see no one. Shen Jingshu looked at the surrounding scenery and frowned, "Chun Xiao, where are we now?"
"Miss, we may have reached the depths of this Taoyuan. There is no one here. Let's go back quickly. It looks scary!" The peach forest is so deep, and there is no one here, even though it is broad daylight , but still very scary.
"Okay, let's go back!" Although there are few people here, the scenery is a hundred times more beautiful, but Shen Jingshu is cautious, it is too quiet here, and I always feel that something is not right.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air. When Shen Jingshu listened carefully, she heard the sound of fighting. She vaguely saw a few men in black surrounding a man in Tsing Yi. They were fighting inseparably. Although Shen Jingshu was surprised How could such a thing happen here, but Shen Jingshu's most important task now is to leave! But Chun Xiao, who was following her, was a little scared at the moment, "Miss, Miss, what's going on over there?" Her voice trembled a little, Chun Xiao, a little maid, had never seen such a fight , I was already terrified at this moment.
"Don't talk, follow me, let's get out of here quickly!" Now, walking is the best policy, Shen Jingshu doesn't like to cause trouble, especially this kind of trouble!
"Okay, miss!" Hastily covered her mouth. Although Chun Xiao was scared, she also knew what would happen to them when they were discovered at this time, so she could only follow Shen Jingshu away. The two left quickly and ran for a long time before finally Finally, they ran to a place where there were people, and the two breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss, did someone die over there? I heard that voice just now, it was so scary, and it smelled like blood. We, we want to Don't report to the police?"
"Okay, you and I haven't seen what happened just now, let's go, let's go to Huilan and Xinhe first!" When something like this happened, Shen Jingshu worried that those people were desperadoes, and she would be in danger at that time . A few of them are just weak women, how can they bear this? So now it is better to find Yang Huilan and the others first, and then leave.
"Okay, miss, let's go find Miss Yang and the others, and then leave here. This place is really scary!" I am still afraid for a while, of course I want to leave this place of right and wrong!
"Let's go!" Shen Jingshu also planned this way, if someone is assassinating here, it proves that this place is not safe. Pulling Chunxiao to find Yang Huilan and the others, Shen Jingshu was also very anxious.
Who were those people just now? Who is it that is so courageous? Dare to assassinate in Taoyuan
Feeling puzzled, Shen Jingshu didn't have the time to think too much, it was important to find Yang Huilan at this moment. But fortunately, Shen Jingshu found Yang Huilan without much effort. Several people were a little puzzled when they saw Shen Jingshu in such a hurry, "Jingshu, what happened? Why do you look so anxious?"
"It's okay, but I thought the petals were almost done, so I wanted to come to you, how about you? How are you?" Looking at the two of them calmly, Shen Jingshu felt relieved when she saw that everything was fine here.
"Hehe, we picked a lot, and we couldn't let it go, so we were planning to go back, when we met, and wanted to find you, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself. It's just Jingshu, you seem to have lost, it's nothing! "
"Hehe, is it?" I spilled a lot on the way just now, but now is not the time for Shen Jingshu to care about this, so she smiled indifferently, "I am a little less, but you have a lot, and I will be there anyway. I won't lose if I eat yours!"
"Greatly, you came up with this idea, so it was intentional, right?"
"Haha, Whelan, you are so smart!"
"Okay you, this is using us as coolies!"
"I see that you are also very happy!"
"What are you talking about? You get something for nothing, so we won't give it to you. Xinhe, don't you think so?"
"That's right, Jingshu, you see that you don't even have half of ours. Would you mind eating it later?"
"Oh, at worst, I will leave the task of brewing wine to me. I will brew more at that time. We drink one bottle a year. Maybe we will drink it again in a few decades. It must be delicious!"
"Look at you little alcoholic, you're still thinking about it. After decades, how much do you want to brew? Are you planning to open a tavern?"
"Hehe, where? But this peach blossom wine is so delicious, it's good to save some more, why don't we bury some and make an appointment to drink together at a time, wouldn't it be nice?"
"Hui Lan, Jing Shu is right. The wine gets better with age. I think it's okay!"
"Okay, then the task of brewing wine will be handed over to you!"
"Understood!" Smiling, Shen Jingshu is "making up for it", Yang Huilan and Master Kong Xinhe don't remember the villain's mistakes, so forget it, but Shen Jingshu is worried after all when she thinks about what she just encountered. With so many peach petals, I suddenly had an idea, "Oh, Huilan, Xinhe, look at our so many peach petals, why don't we go back? It's hard to take!"
"That's right, it's better to take the peach petals back earlier, lest they become stale."
"It's been a while since we came out today, and it's getting late, so let's go back!"
"Okay, let's go!" Seeing that the two of them had no objection, Shen Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief, and they all smiled and went back with peach blossoms. Today's harvest is very rich. They agreed to go to Kong Xinhe's house to eat peach blossom crisps, so they all went. However, Shen Jingshu decided to make wine. Of course, she asked people to take all the remaining peach blossoms home, and asked them to dry the peach blossoms first, and then prepared to make wine.
Everyone had a great time today, and Shen Jingshu and Yang Huilan also had dinner at Kong's house under Mrs. Kong's warm invitation before leaving.
Shen Jingshu is very happy to pass this day safely and still be so happy. It's just that when the night was quiet and everyone was about to fall asleep, Shen Jingshu still felt a little heavy when she thought of the fighting sounds she heard during the day and the vaguely familiar figure.
is it him
After all, she was a little worried, but Shen Jingshu had no reason to visit, let alone confirm it. Although Shen Jingshu asked Chunmei to go to that person's house to inquire about the news the next day, but she didn't know anything except that the person went to other places, so Shen Jingshu had no choice but to give up and put the matter at ease. Specially prepared peach blossom stuffing.
No, as soon as the peach petals dried in the shade, Shen Jingshu was ready to brew wine. Yang Huilan and Kong Xinhe heard that, of course they wanted to come and observe, but seeing Shen Jingshu's posture, the two couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Jingshu, do you really know how to do it?" Yang Huilan looked at Shen Jingshu worriedly. She thought that Shen Jingshu was just here for fun, but she didn't expect that Shen Jingshu would brew it herself. It wasn't that Yang Huilan wanted to pour cold water on Shen Jingshu. It's just that Shen Jingshu herself is only a ten-year-old child, can this be done
"Don't worry, Daddy likes to brew some wine occasionally. I've seen it, and it should be no problem!" What Shen Jingshu didn't say was that in her previous life, Mrs. Shen liked peach blossom wine very much, so Shen Jingshu would brew wine every year when the peach blossoms bloomed. A little bit, over time, naturally have this good craftsmanship.
"Really? But do you want Master Shen to help?"
"No need, let Chunxiao and the others do it, they have seen it too, there is no big problem." Smiling,
Let people get everything ready, and the girls started working in full swing. Shen Jingshu prepared a lot of wine jars, and even specially prepared three wine jars to be buried in the ground. They will open them later. They are looking forward to many years later. what would it be like.
After the few people brewed all the prepared wine, they were all exhausted immediately. Everyone is Miss Qianjin, where do you usually do so much work? After finishing one or two, they both lay down on Shen Jingshu's bed rather disregarding their image, "Jingshu, I've never been so tired in my life, but I'm so happy!"
"Yeah, I have been in poor health since I was a child. My family always forbids me to do this or that. I have a good time today!" The reason for studying medical science is also to think that I can take care of my body so that too many people won't worry about her. Fortunately, she has worked very hard this year and is also very talented. Now she is trying to take care of her body, and she is much better than before.
"You guys, with so much sweat, don't sleep on my bed, it's dirty!"
"This girl still dislikes us, Xinhe, come on!"
"Okay!" The two looked at each other, and immediately pulled Shen Jingshu, pulled Shen Jingshu on the bed, and started to tickle, which made Shen Jingshu almost lose her anger from laughing, "Okay, okay, I, I was wrong, please let me go!"
"Do you still dislike us? Do you still dislike the sweat on our bodies?"
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, how dare I dislike it?"
"That's right, you're sweating on your bed now, don't blame us!"
"Okay, not bad, not bad!"
"Hehe, that's about the same!"
…
After playing for a while, everyone was a little out of breath, lying on the bed one after another, thinking about today's results, with satisfied smiles on their faces, "Jingshu, I'm really looking forward to the taste of our own brewed wine!"
"Yeah, I've drunk peach blossom stuffing before, it's delicious, but this is the first time I've made it myself, how long will it take!"
"Don't worry, it won't be long. Let's taste it at that time. If it's good, can we bury three bottles together? Drink it in a few days, it will definitely taste good!"
"Jing Shu is right, the wine gets better with age, but how many years do we have to keep it?"
"I don't know what we will look like ten years from now, why not just ten years from now!"
"Haha, okay, there are three bottles in total, we will come and get one bottle every ten years, and then we will have a good drink together!"
"OK!"
The girls made an agreement like this, but they didn't expect that sometimes the plan couldn't be changed in time, and when they took out Di Yiping to drink in advance, each of them felt uncomfortable. This is the price of growth.
…
After a few more days like this, although Shen Jingshu was vaguely worried, but most of the time she didn't think about it. Now that the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, the annual Hundred Flowers Festival is coming. On this day, there will be a talent show, which is a chance for many women to become famous.
With this opportunity, gaining a good reputation in the future will give more help to my marriage, so as this day approaches, many people are eagerly preparing, especially those from the academy. I got busy, and the clothes on my body became much fresher and brighter, some of them were even newly made, which shows that everyone attaches great importance to this festival.
"Hundred Flowers Festival is here again. It seems that everyone is busy again, but we seem to have nothing to do. Xinhe, Jingshu, are you really not participating in anything?" Yang Huilan really has a kind of excitement at the moment. It feels like nothing.
"Anyway, I'm still young, so I won't join in the fun. If you want to go, go, I'll cheer for you!" Shen Jingshu has never been a person who likes to show off, and she doesn't like being too young to attract attention. It's not good for her plans!
"You don't go, Xinhe doesn't go, I don't mean to go, but it's just some people showing off there, forget it, don't go!" Yang Huilan is four years older than Shen Jingshu, and she is close enough to marry At this age, if Yang Huilan doesn't go at this time, it's actually not good for her. Shen Jingshu knows this truth well, and of course she doesn't want Yang Huilan to bury herself because of this reason, "Huilan, you go, I can cheer for you !" Yang Huilan's conditions are good, Zhizhou's daughter, and she is not bad, it is very easy to marry a good man, but Shen Jingshu hopes that Yang Huilan can be happy, and also hopes that Yang Huilan can take this opportunity to get to know more People, and let more people know Yang Huilan.
"Forget it, I won't go, I won't go, the assessment is coming soon, I'd better concentrate on preparing for the assessment!" The academy will be on vacation soon, the assessment is very important, some people are even graduating, and it is very important to have a good grade of.
"That's still early, the Hundred Flowers Festival is important, Huilan, you go!" She didn't go because she was still young, and she didn't want to draw others' attention too early. Shen Jingshu didn't expect that Yang Huilan would also Will not go.
"Yeah, Whelan, we won't go, but we can cheer for you, you go, and then let them see your demeanor! And don't you always hate Miss Qi? She will also go this time Are you willing to be compared by her?" Kong Xinhe's provocative method was quite good, and when she heard that Qi Xueyan would go, Yang Huilan suddenly became energetic, "Really, she will go too?"
"Naturally it is true!"
"Jingshu, Qi Xueyan doesn't seem to be much older than you, right? She can go, why don't you go?" She didn't expect that Yang Huilan would involve herself again, Shen Jingshu was really helpless.
