"Hui Lan, you also know that I don't have any strengths. Isn't it embarrassing to go?" Anyway, in front of her friends, Shen Jingshu was not afraid of embarrassment, she opened her hands and looked at Zhang Huilan, but the other party gave Zhang Huilan a blank stare, "Come on, You!" If she had thought that Shen Jingshu was just a naive and silly young lady before, after being in contact with her for a year, she would not be confused by the other party's appearance.
"Hey, okay, Huilan, I'll cheer you on, so you can go!" Anyway, Shen Jingshu would not participate if she was killed, she was in charge of watching the fun.
"Yeah, Huilan, the Hundred Flowers Festival is so lively, what if the three of us don't participate? You just go, how about me and Jing Shu cheering you on?"
"Xinhe, Jingshu won't go, she is still young, but you are not young, why don't you go?" Although Kong Xinhe looked weak because of her body, she was younger than her actual age, but she was still young. Bigger than Shen Jingshu. This year is also thirteen, counting it, it is actually possible to go.
"I'd better forget it, look at my body, people treat me like a child when I die, not to mention you don't know the situation of my family, hey..." Sighing, Kong Xinhe had already engaged in a kiss , the other party is also a family of merchants, and they are family friends with the Kong family. It's just that Kong Xinhe doesn't like the other party.
"Xinhe, you just resigned to your fate like this? That kid, how is he worthy of you?" Thinking of Kong Xinhe's fiancé, Yang Huilan couldn't be happier. That's a typical dude, he's only fifteen years old now, he's good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and he has a very bad reputation! However, the other party was the only son of the family, and his family was richer than Kong Xinhe's family. It seemed that Kong Xinhe had climbed the ladder, but that person was really a little...
Whenever Yang Huilan thinks of what happened to Kong Xinhe, she can't wait to have Kong Xinhe break off her engagement with that person! Otherwise, according to Kong Xinhe's temperament, if she married her, she would either be pissed off, or she would be unhappy and unhappy!
"Since ancient times, the order of my parents and the words of the matchmaker, how can I resist? What's more, the two families are family friends, and there are many business contacts. This marriage, how can I withdraw if I want to?" There is one more thing that Kong Xinhe didn't say, The Kong family relies on his fiancé's family for many businesses, and the two families are also close because of their in-law relationship. Marriage in the mall is also very normal. People in the Kong family will not disregard their family business just because of their daughter's happiness. What's more, she was the eldest mistress in the past when she married, and she will be the head wife of her husband's family in the future. In the eyes of her parents, there is nothing wrong with this. And the other party is more playful and flirtatious, that's just a common problem of men, anyway, it can't threaten her status as mistress, so why would they care about this
Every time she thinks about it, Kong Xinhe feels physically and mentally exhausted, and she can only cry alone at night, but who can help her? Besides this path, does she have any other choice
"Xinhe, don't be sad, you are still young, you will find a way!" Although Yang Huilan really wanted to help, she was an outsider after all, not to mention that she was a baby girl, and she made an appointment early. The two families have been family friends for many years, with frequent exchanges and too much involvement, how can this marriage be retired at any time
Although she understood, Yang Huilan still felt sorry for her friend. She always felt that a woman like Kong Xinhe should not have married such a man. She was really wronged.
"Okay, I'm sad. This matter has been booked a long time ago, and I have accepted this reality a long time ago, so don't let me go." Smiling, although Kong Xinhe tried hard to hide her emotions, she still It could be seen that she was in a bad mood.
That's right, no matter which woman, I'm afraid she doesn't want to marry such a notorious person, right
Kong Xinhe's fiancé is surnamed Zhang, she has met her before, he is young and inexperienced, how can someone like Kong Xinhe be able to handle him in the future
Sighing inwardly, she had nothing to do with Kong Xinhe in her previous life, and she went to the capital after her parents passed away, so she didn't know anything about Kong Xinhe's life after marriage, but at present, it seems that Mr. Zhang is not qualified.
So what is she going to do? Solve this problem and avoid Xinhe's misfortune
Shen Jingshu has nothing to do for the time being, the shopping malls are complicated, and even the officialdom, don't they use marriage to guarantee each other's interests? It's all the same reason. Although these ladies of the family are beautiful on the surface, who knows how much they have sacrificed for their future? Fortunately, she has a pair of parents who love her very much, Shen Jingshu is not worried about this matter, she can't help feeling a little comforted in her heart, seeing the sadness in Kong Xinhe's eyes, Shen Jingshu is also determined to help.
If Xinhe really doesn't want to marry at that time, she will definitely help with all her heart! Otherwise, Xinhe is so unfortunate!
"Xinhe, you can't say that, even though you are engaged, it doesn't prevent you from showing yourself, let's go, go, this time you will be with Huilan, and I will cheer for you, okay?" If Kong Xinhe If he doesn't stay with that young master in the future, Kong Xinhe has to seize the opportunity now. There are many talents in Jiangnan, but the outstanding ones must be carefully searched for. Shen Jingshu didn't know how determined Kong Xinhe was, and naturally she would not make a decision for Kong Xinhe easily, so this matter had to be done slowly.
"Yeah, Xinhe, do you just have the heart to let me be on stage alone and be bullied by Qi Xueyan and the others?" If Yang Huilan signed up this time, Qi Xueyan would definitely destroy her prestige. Although Yang Huilan was not afraid, she had someone to accompany her Well, that's good too.
"This..." In fact, Kong Xinhe also wanted to go, and there were not many opportunities to show herself. The Hundred Flowers Festival is another rare festival. On this day, there are many things that can be done without worry. Kong Xinhe is used to restraint, so of course she also wants to relax.
"Okay, then it's settled, Xinhe, you are not allowed to play tricks!" Seeing Kong Xinhe's hesitation and heartbeat, Yang Huilan made a direct decision, and looked at Shen Jingshu, neither of them wanted Kong Xinhe to be depressed all the time, So here's an opportunity!
"Okay, I'll take part. But Jingshu, since Huilan and I have participated, do you still want to refuse?" Smiling, Kong Xinhe saw Shen Jingshu pulling herself into the water, of course she would not let Shen Jingshu go. Shen Jingshu looked at Kong Xinhe's smiling face, and suddenly understood what it meant to dig her own grave, "Just bypass me!"
"No, the three of us are going to be together. We both went. It would be shameful for you not to go. Whelan, don't you think so?"
"That's right, Jingshu, the most important thing is to participate. Although you are still young, don't you know what your reputation was before? Do you want those people to continue to look down on you?" Yang Huilan's words are not unreasonable. The former Shen Jingshu Mischievous and sometimes arrogant, her reputation is indeed bad. This time, the Hundred Flowers Festival is indeed an opportunity!
"Jingshu, in a word, do you want to go?" With two sides attacking, Shen Jingshu was finally defeated and agreed to go. Yang Huilan and Kong Xinhe immediately pulled Shen Jingshu, and the girls laughed happily!
No matter what the result of this time is, after many years, when they look back, it must be very beautiful!
…
Shen Jingshu was not planning to participate in the Hundred Flowers Festival at all, but she couldn't stand the attack from Yang Huilan and Kong Xinhe, and finally agreed, but after agreeing, Yang Huilan and Kong Xinhe were happy, but Shen Jingshu was distressed.
If she really goes, she can't be too embarrassed, can she? His previous reputation was indeed a bit bad, but it is not bad to get his reputation right this time. But she doesn't want to show off too much, what should she do
Shen Jingshu has been thinking for several days how to participate in the Hundred Flowers Festival is the best result, but Qi Xueyan came to ask immediately when she learned that she was participating in the Hundred Flowers Festival, "Jingshu, I heard that you are also participating in the Hundred Flowers Festival this time. Is it?" After all, Qi Xueyan's reputation has always been very good, but she is still young, so she did not participate in previous years. However, she has been working hard all the time. She has studied hard this year, and she is already very confident. She really wants everyone to remember her at the Hundred Flowers Festival this time, so she is naturally well-prepared! But before she heard that Shen Jingshu would not go, she was at ease, but now Shen Jingshu changed her mind, for some reason, she suddenly became a little uneasy, so she came to ask Shen Jingshu the moment she heard the news.
"Yeah, what's the matter?" Qi Xueyan looked so excited and asked Shen Jingshu that she was speechless. Whether she will participate or not, does Qi Xueyan have to agree
"Didn't you say you wouldn't participate before? Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Although Qi Xueyan looked down on Shen Jingshu, she felt that Shen Jingshu was her threat in her heart, and Qi Xueyan's intuition was very accurate!
"I didn't plan to participate, but Huilan and Xinhe both went. They asked me to go, so I went to have a look."
"Jingshu, the Hundred Flowers Festival is not a place for jokes. You don't know anything. Wouldn't it be embarrassing then?" I wanted to use this excuse to hit Shen Jingshu and make Shen Jingshu retreat, but Shen Jingshu shrugged indifferently. Shrugged, "I really don't have many people, so it's okay to join in the fun, right? Xueyan, don't you want me to participate?"
"No, of course not, I'm very happy that you participated!" Looking at Shen Jingshu's clear eyes, everything about herself seemed to be imprinted in the other's eyes, Qi Xueyan's eyes immediately dodged a little, and she said insincere words, Anyone with a discerning eye can tell it's a fake at a glance, but Shen Jingshu doesn't doubt it, "Hehe, that's good, I thought you didn't like my participation!"
"Nothing, Jingshu, why would I think so? You think too much."
"Hehe, yes, Xueyan, you are my good friend, how could you wish me bad? You must be just worried about me, right?"
"Well, yes, of course!"
"Don't worry, I'm just here to join in the fun, it's fine, anyway, as long as I don't take the last place, isn't it all right?"
"No, Jingshu, I believe in you!" Shen Jingshu, Shen Jingshu, since you're going, don't regret it! I want you to regret making this decision today. When the time comes, just wait and see how arrogant you will be in the future.
…
In the days that followed, everyone was busy preparing for the Hundred Flowers Festival, and Master Hui added a lot to everyone's courses in order to coincide with this festival. After all, there are many people who go to the academy. If they all get the rankings, it will be good for the reputation of the academy. Of course, Master Hui has to prepare carefully and pay more attention to the teaching of the children. She even guides some people alone. Of course, she wants to borrow This opportunity will let everyone know more about the academy she runs, and more and more people will come to study here, and her ideal will be taken a step further!
Shen Jingshu has also been studying seriously these few days. There are many competitions in the Hundred Flowers Festival, and you can choose from them. All beauties had to choose three things, and Shen Jingshu simply chose painting, calligraphy, and poetry. For this reason, Shen Jingshu was troubled for a long time. She couldn't get a female celebrity, and she definitely wouldn't choose it. She didn't like dancing either. Although she could dance, she couldn't do it. It's a coincidence, anyway, what she wants is not to be number one, but to correct her own reputation, and she doesn't want to be said to be worthless anymore.
It was decided, Shen Jingshu was also actively preparing, Shen Wenhua and Shan Yuerong saw that their daughter was so motivated, of course they had to give their full support, "Shu'er, how about a gift from Daddy?"
"what gift?"
"This is a pen from Daddy's collection. You chose this time. There are many places where you need to use the pen. How about this one? It's just right for you!" I liked it as soon as I saw it, "Thank you Daddy!"
"Come on, Shu'er, when the time comes, Daddy will cheer you up!" This gift is very precious, and it is Shen Wenhua's heart, of course Shen Jingshu likes it!
"Okay, Dad!" After receiving Shen Wenhua's gift, Shan Banyan was not behind, "Shu'er, although you have read a lot of poetry collections, you are still young and have not enough experience. Mother has a lot of excerpts here. A good collection of poems, and some annotations made by my mother, there are many famous writers here, take a look!" Although Shan Banyan gave the annotations by himself, many of them are from the original copy, Shan Banyan also added A lot of my own comments have to be said to be very helpful to Shen Jingshu.
When Shen Jingshu saw the gift from her parents, she was very moved, "Mother, thank you!"
"Stupid boy, this is what mothers should do. There are many such book girls out there. They were meant for you, but you were not interested in them before. Now it's fine. If you want to read them in the future, just go to the study and get them."
"Hehe, Mom, you and Daddy are the best!" He hugged Shen Jingshu and kissed her. Born into such a family, Shen Jingshu really felt very happy!
Parents are open-minded, and love her so much, even if she has to give everything, she will protect them, even if they lose their lives, she will not hesitate!
"Okay, you work hard, when the time comes, mother and father will go to see you together!"
"Okay!" With the support of her parents, Shen Jingshu of course worked harder, originally to get rid of her previous bad reputation. But seeing the expectant expressions of her parents, Shen Jingshu decided to do her best!
She is the eldest daughter of the Shen family, her father is Sanyuan Jidi, and her mother is the eldest daughter of Shan Daru, how can others look down on her like this
…
Under Shen Jingshu's preparation, the Hundred Flowers Festival is finally here. On this day, every woman participating in the competition is dressed in a new dress, and wants to show everyone her most beautiful side!
Although Shen Jingshu didn't talk about solemn attire on this day, she still dressed fresh and natural. She was still young and looked good, so she didn't need to make up too much at all, so as not to be self-defeating.
A very simple pink-green long dress, with a layer of light gauze on it, which added a bit of ethereal atmosphere to her. She was born cute and smart, but now she is dressed like a little fairy, quietly and peacefully. Standing there, people saw it, and everyone was discussing, whose daughter is this, like a fairy? It's pleasing to watch!
"Jingshu, you are so beautiful today!" Although Shen Jingshu didn't dress up much today, she has a good foundation, and her temperament comes out when she wears a good suit. With the beautiful pearl on her head, she is really pretty, so she Even Yang Huilan and Kong Xinhe who often saw Shen Jingshu were a little surprised.
"You are beautiful too, I'm afraid you will be a heartthrob today!" Both Yang Huilan and Kong Xinhe look good, but Yang Huilan is more elegant, while Kong Xinhe is gentle, which is also in line with their personalities.
"Okay, let's come to be a heartthrob today!" Yang Huilan was not polite, but just after she finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd, looking at the source of the sound, isn't it Qi Xueyan
Today Qi Xueyan spent a lot of money, and it seems that she wants to catch people's attention. That brand new skirt, pink, matches the scenery, it is really beautiful. And her hair accessories today are also exquisitely dressed, with a beautiful flowing cloud bun, dignified with a little mischievousness, and the set of red agate hair on her head makes her look noble and elegant, which is really amazing!
Qi Xueyan was already glamorous, but she was so beautiful when she was dressed up like this, Shen Jingshu and the others looked at her and couldn't help but admire Qi Xueyan's beauty. Especially Shen Jingshu, who has always known Qi Xueyan's beauty, otherwise she would not have the capital, but seeing Qi Xueyan now, Shen Jingshu realized that Qi Xueyan's beauty is indeed like the flower on the other side, and it is easy to get addicted!
Beauty is poisonous, so I'm afraid it's someone like Qi Xueyan, right
"This Qi Xueyan is really going to steal the limelight today!" Yang Huilan felt uncomfortable looking at Qi Xueyan's haughty look, "But no matter how good-looking she is, she can't compare to your elegance!" Indeed , Qi Xueyan is beautiful, but it is too stunning, which will cause visual fatigue on the contrary, but is quiet and quiet, with a demeanor that will not be forgotten at a glance.
"Okay, don't praise me anymore, I can't compare to her!" In terms of beauty, Shen Jingshu thought that she was invincible. Qi Xueyan was good-looking, but she was not of the same type at all.
"I'm not complimenting you, I'm telling the truth!" Yang Huilan smiled, anyway, she couldn't understand Qi Xueyan, Qi Xueyan was so flamboyant today, and wanted to suppress their limelight, of course Yang Huilan would not give up.
"You!" She looked at Yang Huilan helplessly, knowing that Yang Huilan was at odds with Qi Xueyan again, she didn't say anything. Seeing Shen Jingshu like this, Yang Huilan knew that Shen Jingshu didn't plan to compete with Qi Xueyan at this time, so she couldn't help but grumbled, "But Jingshu, don't blame me for not reminding you, you don't plan to show off today, but she is today You want to be in the limelight. When the time comes, you will be compared miserably by others, so don't cry for me!"
"Hui Lan, what are you talking about?" She knew that Qi Xueyan was targeting her, and Qi Xueyan would definitely find a way to keep her from stepping down today, and Shen Jingshu also knew it. But she is careful.
Anyway, she has lived more than ten years longer than Qi Xueyan in this life, so is she not as good as a child? Qi Xueyan is smart, but it's not yet the time for her to become popular, and she just wants to completely defeat the other party at this time, so as not to give the other party a chance to hurt herself!
"I'm not wrong, look, here we come!" motioned Shen Jingshu to look over, and sure enough, she saw Qi Xueyan coming, with an impeccable smile on her face, Shen Jingshu thought it was a bit fake, but she still gave it back The other party smiled, and Qi Xueyan was taken aback when she saw it, and then quickly walked over, "Jingshu, are you here?"
"Yeah, I arrived earlier than you!"
"I've prepared a lot for going out, so naturally it's slower, but Jingshu, today is an important day anyway, why don't you dress up at all?"
"I said I'm here to join in the fun today, why are you dressed so exquisitely?"
"That's right, it's good that you're like this, Jing Shu, I hope you have a good day!" Qi Xueyan looked around as she spoke, as if she was looking for something, but she couldn't find anything, and finally withdrew her gaze, and talked to Shen Jing Shu and the others left, and went to find their place.
"Today I can see her clearly. It's really uncomfortable to see her arrogant appearance. Jingshu, you can't let her compare. You must work hard. She can't lift her head if you step on her. Let's see how she still poses." Such a gesture!" Yang Huilan is so angry, Qi Xueyan came here on purpose today, just to let everyone see their comparison, she thinks she is not as good-looking as Qi Xueyan, but she is not afraid.
What's the use of being good-looking, real skills are the most useful!
"Okay, don't be angry, let's go, let's sit down for a while, and we will draw lots later!"
"En!" Several people found their own places and sat down. Shen Jingshu found that Qi Xueyan was looking for something all the time, her eyes were a little anxious, and there was a little eagerness. Shen Jingshu didn't quite understand what made Qi Xueyan so care.
But soon, something flashed across his mind, but it was so fast that Shen Jingshu didn't have time to catch it, so he could only observe Qi Xueyan secretly, to see who Qi Xueyan was looking for!
But soon, Shen Jingshu had the answer, and there was movement in the crowd again, and Yang Huilan on the side spoke again, "The Prince Duan is indeed here. I heard that the Prince Duan was invited this time. As expected, there is no Wrong!" Yang Huilan looked as if she had expected it, and Shen Jingshu immediately understood who Qi Xueyan was looking at just now, "Why did Prince Duan come?" On such an occasion, Shen Jingshu had no choice but to contact Prince Duan's age. Do more guesswork.
But is it possible
"The Prince Duan has always been in the south of the Yangtze River. The Hundred Flowers Festival is so important this time, so my father naturally invited him. I thought that the Prince Duan would not come, but he did. I'm not sure, so I didn't It’s not good to tell you.”
"So that's it!" Nodding her head, she saw that Qi Xueyan's eyes were almost glued to Prince Duan's body, Shen Jingshu smiled, Yang Huilan looked at it, puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing, but there is a good show to watch today." She was still curious, but it was just a Hundred Flowers Festival, why did Qi Xueyan have such a big battle? It turned out that she wanted to show it in front of that person, and wanted him to leave a deep impression on her from now on, so that she could marry into a wealthy family in the future
However, this is just wishful thinking. With the status of Prince Duan's son, even she is also a high climber, let alone Qi Xueyan. What's more, Mr. Qi is useless, Duan Wangfu doesn't need such in-laws!
Yang Huilan looked at Shen Jingshu's smile and rubbed her arms, feeling a little upset, "Jingshu, why did you laugh so hard that I was creeped out? Also, what are you talking about, tell me!"
"Isn't this a good show today? There are so many people here, it must be exciting in a while!" Everyone originally wanted to gain a good reputation, but now that Prince Duan is here, they must do their best. The son is here, it really is...
She didn't want to have anything to do with that person at all, but today...
Hey, is this fate
She smiled helplessly, because Shen Jingshu wanted to see Prince Duan, but she couldn't see clearly because of the distance, but she didn't know if it was her illusion, Prince Duan seemed to be thinner, and his face was paler than before.
Was it him that day
There was some worry in her eyes. After all, Shen Jingshu couldn't remain indifferent, but she and Prince Duan were not related, so she would not take the initiative to ask. She could only keep this worry in her heart and seriously prepare for the next game.
…
"Jingshu, have you decided to choose calligraphy, painting and poetry? Do you want to change?" Yang Huilan has no doubts about Shen Jingshu's talent, but she really doesn't know what Shen Jingshu is capable of. In school, what Shen Jingshu learned is really just a little bit. Although a little more has been added this semester, the study time is still very short!
"Well, these three are the only ones I can get my hands on. Don't be too embarrassing for a while." In the competition of kung fu, she must not be able to compare with the people present, so she can only play tricks.
"Don't worry, Jingshu, you can do it!" The encouragement from her friend warmed Shen Jingshu's heart, "You guys have to work hard too, don't let yourself be compared!"
"Don't worry!" Smiling, although the three of them don't pay much attention to these false names, they still need them sometimes. Today is just to watch a play, but they are all people in the play.
…
The annual Hundred Flowers Festival started again. The Jiangnan side is very lively and there are many people who come. Among them, there are the most people from Master Hui Academy. Everyone drew lots one after another. The one drawn by Shen Jingshu was the first one. Five draws, Yang Huilan's eighth draw, and Kong Xinhe's fifteenth draw.
"The two of you are pretty good. My queen mother is a little bit better." Kong Xinhe didn't think much of it when she saw her signature. Anyway, she was already engaged, and her reputation was better. Some endings were doomed, so she could see it. .
"It's okay, let's just do our best."
"I don't know what number Qi Xueyan is?" Looking at Qi Xueyan's smile, Yang Huilan was really curious.
