Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother
Chapter 26: So Busy
Every time we met, it seemed to be at the most awkward moment, and those little secrets that I didn't want others to see seemed to be discovered by him.
She subconsciously gripped the railing, her fingers slowly tightening.
"Is this a coincidence, or is he waiting on purpose?" Could it be that he saw what happened just now?
From his position, he had a clear view of the situation in the pavilion. If he had been paying attention to this side, then wouldn't he have also seen the scene where she tried to make Shen Yuming "fall"?
A cold light flashed in Ye Yunzi's eyes, and her mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
Shen Siyan happened to also cast his gaze towards the pavilion, and their eyes collided in the air. He just glanced at it lightly and then looked away.
"you……"
Ye Yunzi wanted to say something but stopped herself. Seeing that his head had completely turned away, she swallowed the words back.
Maybe he didn't see it!
"Yes, he may not have noticed..." Ye Yunzi comforted herself, took a few deep breaths, and turned to leave. With her departure, the pavilion returned to peace.
Shen Siyan looked up at the sky, his dark eyes deepened, "You seem different."
"I thought you were still that timid person, but now it seems that is not the case." He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
On the other side, in the guest room, Jiaojiao finished washing up and finally got rid of the mess on her body. She breathed a sigh of relief, "Where did Xiaomei go?"
She snorted coldly and grabbed the clothes beside her and put them on. Xiaomei said she was going outside to investigate the situation and has not returned yet.
Just as I was thinking about it, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Xiaomei?" she called.
The person came silently, without making a sound, and then lifted the curtain and walked in. Jiaojiao turned around and was stunned.
She was going to attend a banquet at the Marquis' Mansion today, so she had to dress well and show off her charm so that Ye Yunzi would lose Shen Yuming's attention. She wanted to hold his heart.
……
Ye Yunzi sat quietly in the living room. She came to the Marquis' Mansion to attend a banquet today. She picked up a piece of cake and tasted it carefully. The pastries in the Marquis' Mansion were indeed excellent.
Soon, the noble ladies and girls who had left earlier came back one after another, led by Miss Su Yu from the Marquis's Mansion. They surrounded her and vied with each other to show their courtesy.
Lin Yiqing, the third young lady of the Lin Mansion, followed Su Yu closely and spoke at the right time: "There must be a talent show at the annual gathering of the Marquis Mansion. This year is no exception. I believe that all the young ladies have been eager to show their talents..."
"This year's prize is a pair of purple snow jade bracelets bestowed by the Queen herself. As usual, the winner will get it." Su Yu said as she waved her hand to signal the maid to present the box containing the jade bracelets. When the lid of the box was opened, a pair of warm purple jade bracelets came into view. They were extremely precious purple jade.
In addition, the jade bracelet was made by the Queen, which added to its extraordinary value. Everyone's eyes lit up. If she could win the first prize, she would not only win the title of a talented woman, but would also become a legend in the capital.
Su Yu looked around at everyone and said, "Not only us, but there are also many gentlemen watching behind the scenes. Maybe we can win the favor of some lord..."
"Of course, this is just to add to the fun. There's no need to be too nervous." Su Yu smiled faintly, and these words made the girls blush.
Today's gathering was attended by all the outstanding young men from various aristocratic families. They were young, promising, and handsome, and many of the women present had already developed secret feelings for them.
The talent show was not held in the hall, but moved to the garden of the Marquis' Mansion. The garden was vast, with small bridges and flowing water, scattered rockeries, and picturesque scenery. No one knew that the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion was so elegant, which showed that the Marquis had put a lot of effort into it.
The luxury of the Marquis' Mansion is comparable to that of a royal palace, and everyone was intoxicated while viewing it.
The corridor was surrounded by veil, and everything seemed to be covered with a layer of dream. The pavilion was filled with handsome nobles, and even princes were among them. The scene was spectacular.
The light gauze is like a dream, gently separating men and women. Although it is popular for men and women to sit at the same table and drink together, Miss Su Yu of the Marquis's Mansion deliberately arranged this layer of gauze, which not only arouses people's curiosity to explore the mystery, but also prevents the girls from being moved and losing their sense of proportion.
"It's started!" someone whispered.
The garden was instantly filled with laughter and vitality. Everyone was trying their best to show their best style.
Ye Yunzi looked up at the pavilion, where many people were gathered. She knew that Shen Yuming must be among them, and Shen Siyan would not be absent either.
Her eyes turned slightly, and she walked slowly into the venue with the crowd, disappearing into the crowd like a flower in the mist, with no visible shape.
Su Yu had a gentle smile on her face and looked around at everyone: "Spring is bright and beautiful, the fragrance of flowers is everywhere, butterflies are dancing, and the light gauze is blowing on our faces. Why don't we use flowers as the theme today? Whether it's music, chess, calligraphy or painting, as long as it is related to flowers, it's all fine. I wonder which beauty is willing to take the lead and win the first prize?"
When everyone heard this, their hearts were moved and they looked at each other. No one wanted to be the first one. One reason was that they were shy and their faces would turn red and their hearts would beat fast in front of everyone. The other reason was that they were nervous and thought that if they failed, they would become a laughing stock.
Seeing this, Su Yu smiled and said, "Why don't I throw out some ideas? This scenery reminds me of a poem."
"Someone, prepare paper and ink!"
The servant quickly set up the table, prepared the writing brush and ink, and Su Yu took up the pen, thought for a moment, and then wrote a poem in one breath. Her handwriting was elegant and refined, and was praised by Mr. Su, a master of calligraphy in Beijing.
After the characters are dried, they are available for everyone to appreciate.
"Wonderful!" Lin Yiqing was the first to praise, with surprise flashing in his eyes, "'The peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom', what a profound artistic conception!"
"Yuyu, this word is becoming more and more elegant!"
As soon as Lin Yiqing opened his mouth, others quickly echoed her and praised Su Yu to the skies. No one was unwilling to take this opportunity to curry favor with her.
Su Yu smiled proudly, "Thanks to Mr. Su's teachings, my calligraphy has improved."
"Mr. Su? He doesn't accept disciples easily. It seems that Miss Su is really outstanding to be in his eyes."
Su Yu accepted all the compliments without objection. After all, in the capital, no one could match her in both talent and beauty. In terms of power and beauty, she was comparable to a princess. How could those ordinary women compare with her?
On the side, the servant reported in a low voice and walked towards the pavilion with Su Yu's handwriting, obviously to let the young men there have a look.
Su Yu turned around and nodded slightly in the direction of the pavilion as a greeting to everyone.
Following Su Yu's demonstration, everyone showed off their talents, reciting poems or playing the piano, making the scene very lively.
Lin Yiqing's eyes swept across the crowd and finally stopped on Jiaojiao, with a sneer on his lips.
Regarding what happened before, she believed that Jiaojiao had played a trick on her. She was still angry, so she deliberately said, "This is the first time that Fourth Sister has participated in such a gathering. Please be more tolerant and don't laugh at her... Fourth Sister, what talents have you prepared for everyone to see?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on Jiaojiao.
Everyone knew clearly that Jiaojiao was the daughter of a concubine and grew up outside. She was not welcomed back to the Lin residence until this year. Naturally, her boudoir arts such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting could not compare with those of the young ladies who were strictly trained since childhood.
Jiaojiao lowered her head, a hint of embarrassment appearing on her face, like a mimosa meeting the breeze.
