In early autumn, the geese from the north lined up in a row, streaked across the Liaoyuan sky, and flew to the warm southern country. The lush summer foliage in the yard began to wither, and the colorful fish in the pond looked a little cooler than before.
The girl's long black hair was combed into a bun with a delicate coral hairpin, and she was dressed in a crimson silk double-hued cloud and wild goose dress, which outlined her slender and exquisite figure.
Bai Lu put the forging embroidered cloak on Shen Miao lightly and said, "The girl is not yet healed, so be careful not to catch a cold."
Shen Miao shook her head.
She is still small in stature, not as tall as Shen Yue and Shen Qing, her round face, and her usual cowardly personality, she seems to be a few years younger than her actual age, just eleven or twelve years old.
But today is different.
Shuang Jiang watched from the side, feeling a little strange in his heart.
The girl's complexion was pale, and she looked at a small and delicate person, but now there was no smile on her face, neither indifference nor stupid, but a little indifferent, but she seemed to be looking at the sky with some nostalgia. Still standing as before, but a little dignified, as if I didn't know where the unique temperament came from overnight, and there was a sense of graceful atmosphere.
Shuang Jiang shook her head, as if she could get rid of the absurd thoughts in her heart, she smiled and looked at Shen Miao: "What is the girl looking at?"
After having breakfast, Shen Miao had been standing in the courtyard looking at the sky in a trance.
“Just thinking about whether these wild geese fly from the north to the south and also pass through the desert in the northwest.” Shen Miao said softly.
The Northwest Desert, that is where Shen Xin is guarding, and both Mrs. Shen and Young Master Shen are here. The letter from the family sent last month said that the capital was just cold, the parasites in the northwest were already withered, and the snow was starting to grow.
"The girl misses the master and his wife," Shuang Jiang said with a smile: "Master will come back in Nianguan. When Jieshi sees the girl growing taller again, I don't know how happy I am."
Shen Miao smiled and the corners of her mouth became bitter.
The general who can only return to Dingjing once a year, the first thing after returning is to face the joke of his daughter who is shameless and runs away to be his wife, and even force her to marry by death, how happy can he be
What's more, the person she wanted to marry was still a villain who just wanted to use the military power of the Shen family to seize the heirloom. The Shen family was reluctant to mix, but she was pulled into the water by her blind love, and finally ended up with a tragic ending.
Shen Miao closed her eyes.
But in just half a year, too many things happened. Since she got married, her marriage has become a handle that the East Court can handle at any time. It seems that it was also from the beginning of this year, when the East Court seemed to have removed its disguise from the evil beast, and pushed her into a dead end step by step, and she could not turn back.
"Girl, girl?" Bai Lu couldn't help calling softly when she saw that the little master had a different expression, and the knuckles of his fingers while clutching the cloak turned white.
Shen Miao came back to her senses and saw Gu Yu trotting over and said, "Miss, the one from Rong Jingtang came over to urge."
Rong Jingtang, where Old Madam Shen lived, the old Madam sent the girls beside her to see Shen Miao early in the morning. Seeing that Shen Miao was fine, she just said that she was healthy and could go to greet the Old Madam. In fact, whether to ask for peace or to ask a teacher to ask for sin, which one is not well aware of
Shen Miao smiled slightly, tightened her cloak, and said, "Let's go."
In the Shen residence, the east courtyard and the west courtyard are clearly distinguished.
When Old General Shen was alive, he often danced swords and punches in the empty courtyard of the Western Courtyard. Later, when Old General Shen died, Shen Gui and Shen Wan both followed the path of civil servants. Only Shen Xin took over the old general's mantle. The courtyard and the west courtyard were given to Shen Xin. The East Courtyard is large and houses the second room of the big room and Mrs. Shen's three families.
In fact, the west courtyard is more remote than the east courtyard, and it does not even have enough sunlight. Only half of the east courtyard is less than half, so there is really nothing to praise. Only Shen Xin was happy all day, and he felt that he was a huge bargain when he got that open space. Shen Xin and Mrs. Shen are from aristocratic families, and their vision is also simple, with white walls and black tiles, and they are extremely simple. It is incomparable to the exquisite and graceful renovation of the East Courtyard.
Shen Miao used to be very dissatisfied with the west courtyard occupied by her own family and envied the elegance and cuteness of the east courtyard, so she even blamed Shen Xin for this. Now it seems that he is laughing at his ignorance.
Although his yard is simple, it is not simple, and it shows an open-minded state of mind everywhere, and it is not like the ghosts and snakes of the East Courtyard, but it is golden and jade outside, and it is lost in it.
After turning the long corridor and passing through the exquisitely manicured garden, I came to the entrance of Rongjingtang.
Rongjingtang is decorated in a very elegant manner, probably to show the fragrance of literature. There is a plaque with bamboo hearts and elegant intentions hanging at the door, and the copper handles made of pine cranes are exquisite and agile.
"The fifth girl is here." Xi'er said beside Old Shen Furen.
Shen Miao stepped into Rong Jing Tang.
There was a happy scene in Rongjingtang, and almost everyone was there. The second wife of the Shen family, Ren Wanyun, and the third wife of the Shen family, Chen Rouqiu, stood under the old lady. Shen Qing sat beside the old lady with a plate of dim sum, and on the other side sat his younger brother Shen Yuanbai from the second room of the Shen family. Shen Yuanbai was only five years old, and he grabbed the snacks and was about to stuff it into the old lady's mouth, making the old lady laugh and lean back.
No one seemed to notice Shen Miao's appearance until Shen Yue said with a smile, "Why did the fifth sister come now, the seventh brother has to finish eating the steamed pastry cheese."
Shen Miao nodded, "Perhaps my body is not yet fully recovered, and I felt dizzy after walking two steps. I took a break on the way, so I came late."
Everyone in Rongjingtang was silent.
Shen Yue wanted to say that she came late, but she was not afraid to point out the reason why Mrs. Shen was relying on the old and betraying the old, and regardless of her granddaughter's health, she asked someone to come over to greet her.
After a while, Ren Wanyun smiled and said, "I think Xiao Wu is really weak. The doctor has invited him twice in the past few days. Fortunately, it seems to be fine now."
"Is your body better?" A hoarse and stern voice sounded, with a hint of impatience that was not easily discernible.
Shen Miao looked up at Old Shen Furen.
The smile on Mrs. Shen's face had been put away, and she raised her head slightly arrogantly. It was obviously already a rare age, but he was wearing a peach-colored panjin button narrow jacket skirt, with green jade and turquoise buttons on the neckline, and a forehead embroidered with Bailan. The silver hair on the head is twisted into an auspicious cloud bun, embellished with some jade beads.
She is a woman who is very particular about her appearance. In her previous life, during Shen Miao’s boudoir period, she always felt that Old Madam Shen was the most noble woman. She couldn’t help being fascinated by her graceful and beautiful temperament in her later years, but now she seems to feel a little bit fascinated. ridiculous.
The original wife of General Shen, Shen Xin's mother was born in a famous family, a real lady, but unfortunately passed away in middle age. Later, when the old General Shen marched through a certain place, he rescued a singer from the hands of the local ruffian. The singer had nowhere to go.
The singer got over it and became Mrs. Shen, and later became Mrs. Shen. The reputation and status have changed, but the face of the villain from the market remains the same. Shen Miao still remembered in her previous life that Old Shen Furen forced her to marry the crippled King of Yuzhou just to pave the way for Shen Qing.
She looked at the woman in front of her. When she was young, Mrs. Shen was beautiful, with a pointed face and big, watery eyes. When she was old, she was like a dry triangular drum face, with two eyes jutting abruptly. But she still refused to accept her fate and insisted on applying bright lipstick.
It's really... not dignified. Shen Miao's vision of being a queen in her previous life casually commented in her heart and said humbly, "After drinking the medicine, it is already much better, thank grandmother for your concern."
In the next second, the old lady Shen above her head shouted loudly: "Unfilial daughter, don't kneel down!"
