Eldest sister is not easy to do

The day before the announcement of the list, Shen Wei and Wei Ruolan had come to Lin's house together.Master Sun also shirked his official business and went to Lin's house as a guest.Lin Ruhai hosted a banquet in the hall.When the four of them sat down, the family brought tea and opened it. It was like white water, fragrant and fragrant, and the silver needles were floating on the water.After eating it, I changed it to Zhentiandu again. Although it was aged the next year, the aroma is particularly strong.Wei Ruolan usually likes to drink tea the most, and she is a person who has passed the imperial examination, so she seems calm.Only Shen Wei was uneasy.Lin Ruhai sipped his tea and said with a smile: "The two younger students are both outstanding, and they won the exam. Don't be nervous today."

Master Sun also said with a smile: "Brother Wei is taking the exam for the third time. He must be calmer than me. It's just that the son of the Shen family is talented, so I don't know if the examiner will take the exam?"

Shen Wei didn't answer either.Just looking forward to the arrival of noon.A few scholars chatted and laughed, Lin Ruhai calculated that it was noon, and the reporter was coming soon.Looking at Wei Ruolan's plain attire, he was afraid that he would be ridiculed.Let the servant girl prepare the best clothes.Wei Ruolan didn't treat the Lin family as outsiders, so she took off her original color coat and changed into a sky blue satin two-color gold coat.Master Sun has always been on good terms with Wei Ruolan, and he also knows something about his granddaughter Lin Shuyu and Wei Ruolan.Seeing that Wei Ruolan looked a little richer today, she teased, "It would be great if I let Shu'er take a look."

A few words made Wei Ruolan red and Shen Wei white.Thinking of Lin Shuyu, Shen Wei's heart became even more confused, and he was about to say something.Suddenly Steward Lin came to report: "Master, the reporter is here!" Hearing this, a group of people walked out of the house in three or two steps, and saw that the poster in front of the Lin family's gate had been hung up, and it read: "Good news is expensive!" Mansion son Wei Ruolan, the No. 40 No. 4 in the second-class high school exam!" Before I finished reading the big cinnabar characters, another gold-painted post was also hung up, which read: "Great report, your mansion son Shen Wei, high school I will try No.[-] in the second class!" The reporter also came in to congratulate him and said: "Congratulations to the new nobleman!"

The whole family was stunned, Lin Ruhai read and read Erjia's big cinnabar characters again and again, smacking his lips and tongue, and the two young people behind him cheered and jumped for joy, and laughed heartily.

Shu Yu also got the news at the same time, but she didn't listen to Luo Lan's excitement.In the end, I just lightly told everyone what to do.The peonies on the embroidery frame are tightly sewn together so that a needle's eye cannot pass through.I think that the embroidery workers have improved.Look at Ximei's peonies again, they are embroidered enough to make the real ones look like real ones.But I am amazed: amateurs are not as good as professionals.Look at Luo Lan again, this little girl has been busy for a long time, and the mandarin ducks she embroiders are not even as good as quails.But I understand: the little girl is also thinking of spring.Otherwise, why are you so concerned about whether the two sons won the election?More uneasy than her.

When Rui Ping came to call him to the banquet.Shu Yu just dressed up a little and followed her out.Along the way, I saw lamps and colorful pieces hanging on the Zunjing Pavilion in front of the ancestral hall.In the backyard, there was a table of banquets in the huge yard.Actors who had been hired for a long time came to the stage with a load of boxes-the good show will begin immediately.

Lin Ruhai ordered a play, which was the story of Liang Hao's 80-year-old champion.Everyone watched this play, and then looked at the two new nobles, and they all liked it in their hearts.Later, the student who sang Liang Hao in the play won the first prize at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and Wei Ruolan laughed at herself: "The younger generation is not as smart as this student, but he is a full ten years late."

"That's not right!" Master Sun was happy to see his former colleague so prosperous, but also jealous: he was over Jiazi, and he didn't get a Jinshi background.Unavoidably, he said sourly: "Since ancient times, he has been a late bloomer. Thinking about Mr. Shen's grandfather, he only won the first prize when he was in his 40s. Brother Wei is quite sour."

"Second Jia is not bad. It is no problem to enter the Hanlin Academy. But the two of you are not young, and it will be hard to come to the Hanlin. Let's get married earlier!" Lin Ruhan got Shen Qian's secret instructions—to tell Shu Yu to Wei Ruolan - said: "I heard that Mr. Wei is on good terms with the old lady, does he like my eldest niece?"

When Master Sun heard this, he immediately beamed with joy: The granddaughter is worthy of this brother who is so talented and has a rare character.Very much in his heart.Not only didn't help to evade, but also tried to persuade Wei Ruolan.Wei Ruolan's heart was as sweet as honey, and she was about to agree, when a cold light shot out: Shen Wei is not a person who is willing to be air!

Ximei was standing by and waiting, and was surprised when she heard this.After giving Jin'er a wink, Jin'er immediately went into the wing room and passed Lin Ruhan's words to Shu Yu.Shu Yu understood now: not only the old lady, but Shen Qian also blocked their communication.To say something unreliable: she married Shen Wei, which is considered a high marriage.If you marry Wei Ruolan, it is a low marriage.And this Shen Qian has no feelings for her after all, so of course she doesn't want to see her niece get married.Compared with Yanyu.However, it is Shen Wei who has feelings for her.Shu Yu coldly ordered: "Tell this to the old lady, and see what the old man thinks!"

Jin'er ran several times, and reported to the old lady first.He also said that Wei Ruolan was hesitating, neither agreeing nor accepting it—in the face of Mr. Shen—so it was dragged to the old lady.The third son was reprimanded, and the third aunt scolded together: "Shu'er's marriage is something you serious scholars should talk about?! Not to mention that this child has nothing to do with your third wife. Mistress, what did she do wrong?! Without my consent, talking about marriage hastily is to bully your second brother Zai Tianzhiling?! Hey! My miserable Shu'er lost her parents since she was a child..."

The old lady shed old tears like a bomb exploded.Lin Ruhan quickly knelt down to plead guilty, and Lin Ruhai also knelt down.Then, Shen Wei and Wei Ruolan knelt down one after another.Only then did the old lady stop her tears.Master Sun is an elder of the same generation, and he has seen a lot of things, and he knows it well: there are many people in Yangzhou who are attracted to Shu Yu, but Wei Ruolan loses in his family background.Based on this alone, this marriage will be difficult.Can't help but secretly sigh for his younger brother Wei Ruolan.

Seeing that the face could not be wiped away, Master Sun got up and said goodbye, and went to visit his granddaughter in the inner room.

To say that Master Sun is bold: he actually betrothed his daughter to the notorious Second Master Lin.The intention was just that the old lady of the Lin family loved her second son, not to mention that Ruyuan was a third-rank official.Relying on Mrs. Lin, the wife of the second rank, it is always no problem to be a fourth or fifth rank.What's more, the youngest daughter is interested in it.That's how it got hooked up.Now it's my turn to tie the knot with my granddaughter.I don't want her to be better off than my daughter, so betrothing her to a Jinshi brother is really low.

It's only halfway through singing.Shu Yu was enjoying watching the play.Then Master Sun came in. The old man was dressed in a black robe.On the side is the bones of immortality, which can vaguely show the appearance of a young youth in those days.Shu Yu hastily gave up his seat, and obsequiously leaned against grandpa, holding the old man's hand.Master Sun dotes on his daughter, and now he sees that his granddaughter looks more and more like his daughter.I couldn't help feeling sad, and said sad words like "It would be great if your mother was here".Shed a few real old tears.Shu Yu tried hard to squeeze out a few tears, but seeing Daiyu covering her eyes, she thought it better not to be scary.

After reminiscing about it, Shu Yu asked, "Did Mr. Wei find his family?"

Master Sun sighed and said: "This brother is also a poor man. After living outside for more than 20 years, I finally got some news that General Wei looks like him. But when he arrived in the capital, the people on the site looked down on others. Willing to associate with him. He only treats my brother as an ordinary accountant! Brother Wei dare not say anything, lest he admits the wrong person. Now that he has won the Jinshi, he will visit him with a famous card in his later life. Presumably he will not It will be shut down!"

Shu Yu replied: "It would be good if Mr. Wei could recognize his relatives. But grandpa, my marriage is decided by the old lady." In fact, these two young masters are interested in him, Shu Yu knows.So there is always the bloody feeling of stepping on two boats.Seeing his granddaughter's stubbornness, Master Sun refused to marry Wei Ruolan easily.Putting this matter aside for the time being, the grandparent and grandson had another conversation.Just as the atmosphere was harmonious, I suddenly heard a young man from outside come in to make an announcement.Said that the Shen family sent someone.

"Young master, Miss Biao is not in good health, the master wants you to go back and see her."

The servants of the Shen family who came to report were all dressed in plain clothes. It was obvious that Shen Wei's aunt hadn't been buried yet, and the whole family was wearing mourning.As soon as Shen Wei heard this, he was about to get up and leave.Lin Ruhai asked his servants to bring ordinary filial piety clothes for Shen Wei to put on.Then let people send them away in a carriage.Shu Yu's hands trembled when he got the news, and his cup of tea almost slipped down.A lot of light blue tea splashed out, Luo Lan hurriedly wiped Shu Yu with a handkerchief, but slandered in her heart: What is the origin of this cousin of the Shen family? !Why did you call Shen Wei back at this time?

"Keep quiet about this."

Shu Yu felt tired, so she didn't care if the old lady sent someone to call her.I went to rest first.

It was only dawn on the second day, and the Shen family's carriage arrived at the Lin residence again.Stepping out of the carriage was a beautiful woman with plain white sleeves and curved eyes.She is very delicate and cute, and the maids are dumbfounded.Secretly thinking: This time I can be regarded as meeting someone who can compare with the eldest lady.I don't know the origin of this girl, but Shen Qian went out to greet her in person.He took the girl to meet the old lady again, and was so happy that the old lady rewarded many good things, all of which were treasures produced in the palace.

After that, the girl went straight to Wutong Pavilion.There are no sycamore leaves, and no one cleans the flying catkins that stick to the ground.The girl asked two servant girls to lift the skirt.Stepping on the bluestone slabs to the boudoir deep in the bamboo forest.This look does not look at the spring flowers, nor at the flying catkins.Look at nothing.It wasn't until seeing Shu Yu that those big, watery eyes came to rest.Before Shu Yu could ask who it was, the visitor introduced himself: the daughter of the Second Miss of the Shen family.Shen Wei's serious cousin.His father is Master Liu, governor of Jiangsu.Her boudoir name is Liu Pingting.Unable to force a smile, Shu Yu asked, "Wu Duan Tian and Ping Ting?"

"That's right, it's taken from Xueshi Su's sentence "Unprovoked Heaven and Pingting, Night Moon and a Curtain of Dreams". It seems that my sister is also an educated person, no wonder my cousin praised you." After finishing speaking, Liu Pingting laughed.Hua Zhi trembled wildly: "But my Liu family is also a scholarly family of the era. In terms of fame and fame, my father is the number one scholar in the past!"

Maybe it was because the morning glow was brighter, Shu Yu looked at Cousin Liu.Not only does it not look like the sad look after the mother passed away, but there is a red light on the face.I am not calm anymore, I will directly ask you why you are here.Throwing out a look of indifference.Changing face is faster than flipping a book.Liu Pingting froze for a moment, Shu Yu's expression changed from a breezy expression to a menacing expression.All I have to say is get out and I'm going to sleep.Unable to hold on to her face, Cousin Liu simply wiped it away and said:

"Sister Lin. Everyone envies that I am a lady of every family, but I don't know that we have infinite troubles when we are raised in a deep boudoir! For example, my mother is seriously ill, and I worry about her every night. I can't eat. Thanks to Brother Shen for persuading me to eat , Only then did I get over the sadness. After this scene, I also understood: no wonder people say: dearest relatives, dearest brothers and sisters."

Shu Yu 囧: "It should be because I have a bad memory: the closest relatives are the closest couples!"

Pingting smiled: "Cousin Shen treats me like this, maybe...you can consider it. Oh sister, how can you make fun of me by saying such things?! I just heard from my third aunt that Wei Ruolan, a great talent in Huaiyang, is very nice to me. You mean it, right? Why don't you say this sooner, so as not to save my cousin from staying at Lin's house all day long. The relationship with you~say~no~clear~clear."

Look, it really came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime.On the contrary, Shu Yu calmed down: It's better than developing to the point of catching traitors.Shen Weilai's reason for being in the Lin family has always been aboveboard.Shu Yu didn't think: Shen Qian just told this young lady.It must be that they saw that they couldn't make a match last night, so they came up with another plan and asked the nephew and daughter-in-law candidates to come.

Not long ago, Wang Momo found out the population relationship of the Shen family.Liu Pingting's mother is Shen Wei's third aunt.Since she married Mrs. Liu 15 years ago, she seldom returns to her natal home.It was not until he got seriously ill a year ago that Master Liu sent his wife back to her natal home to recuperate.So this Liu Pingting only got along with Shen Wei for a year.I heard that Shen Wei felt a big headache for her: her daughter is usually taken care of too well, and she will pester him endlessly when she meets a beautiful man.Shu Yu really wanted Wei Ruolan and Feng Ziying to come.Let this lady learn a lot: what is an ornamental handsome man, and what is a practical handsome man!

But right now: "In my opinion, this should be an advice to you: move to Tianfu when you are out of hot filial piety! If you continue to get along like this, your daughter's family's reputation will be ruined. Be careful that you marry ~ don't ~ go out!"

"What?!" Liu Pingting jumped up.Finally squeezed out a few tears: "Sister is cursing me?! I, I mean it well. I didn't expect my sister to be such a rude person. You can say such outrageous things. Everyone can hear clearly: it's you The young lady at home insulted me—the old lady is not only your grandmother—it is also my ancestor. I will tell the old lady what you have a pickled child with no family law—you wait!” After finishing speaking, the girl rushed go out.Shu Yu watched her leave, not in a hurry: Just watch, who is Shen Wei defending now?

If it's Miss Pingting, I'm sorry Jianghu didn't see you!
