Chapter 51 - Delusion
As soon as Shen Yu’s words came out, the others didn’t notice anything, so he slammed the ground, his whole face turned red, then turned white, then turned red again. Everyone was speechless.
Bai Chu has seen the world in his previous life. The boys in the second phase of the middle school are a little more energetic. If they can’t make the whole school a sensation, they will not be sincere and not enough to show their sincere love.
Although Shen Yuzhi is also of this age, his concept is completely different. In the eyes of ancient people, what can be said with open mouth must be a question mark.
It’s like when Shen Yuzhi and Bai Yinhua were good in the past, he never said a word about how he liked Bai Yinhua, but he always remembered to send her something. Hello, let’s just say a few words before giving up.
Anyone who looks at it is a model of true love.
Therefore, when Bai Chu heard the sudden words from Shen Yuzhi, not only did he feel calm in his heart, but when he saw that he was so embarrassed that smoke was about to rise from his head, his eyes turned left and right, but he refused to look at her, and he even wanted to laugh a little.
She didn’t think that Shen Yuzhi was deeply rooted in affection for her, but because she was his wife in name, Shen Yuzhi didn’t have the same awareness of “one difference and two broadness” in the future, so she became a habit unconsciously. maybe.
“Third brother, don’t be nervous,” Bai Chu smiled to ease the atmosphere. “Between you and Miss Hu, your grandmother will definitely love you more. If you think about it, you just met by accident, and there will be no next time.”
She turned her head and glanced at Shen Yingyi, and said softly, “Besides, Miss Hu may not have such thoughts.”
Whether Hu Manrou was thinking or not, Shen Yuzhi couldn’t tell. Hearing Bai Chu’s words, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shen Yuezhi with some reproach: “That’s right, second brother, don’t talk nonsense.”
Shen Yuezhi actually didn’t care about Hu Manrou, even if she succeeded in the end and entered into a brother’s backyard, it wasn’t enough for him to give him a look, that is, the eldest princess mentioned it. Big brother doesn’t care about such trivial matters in the house, but Wasn’t he the only thing he could remind me of?
This is also not pleasing inside and out.
He took a sip of tea, smiled lightly, his eyes fell deeply on her, neither light nor heavy, but rich in meaning, Bai Chu couldn’t sit still, and got up angrily: “Since the third brother has come out, I won’t bother you brothers anymore.”
Seeing her figure disappearing from sight briskly, and when she walked to the door, she didn’t forget to let Lan Chuan come in and bring the chessboard that had been broken, a little smile slowly flowed from Shen Yongzhi’s elegant face, soaking her eyes. The indifference at the bottom is softer and warmer than the spring breeze in April.
It’s a pity that Bai Chu ran too fast and didn’t see it, but Shen Yuzhi was righteous, but was disturbed by Fang Cai’s words, and he couldn’t care about anything at this time.
“Yuzhi,” Shen Yongzhi was the first to speak, bringing back his scattered thoughts, “Sit down.”
Shen Yuzhi hesitated for a while, then sat down in Bai Chu’s seat.
“Second brother, do you have something to tell me?”
Shen Yuezhi gave a light hum, and raised his eyes to look at him: “Yuzhi, do you still think about the eldest lady of the Bai family, or do you plan to accept it and continue the marriage relationship with Chu Chu?”
It’s the same sentence, from childhood to adulthood for more than ten years, even if the relationship is gone, the habit is not so easy to quit.
Shen Yuzhi had never thought about this question, and when Shen Yue mentioned it, he suddenly reacted, as if he hadn’t thought of Bai Yinhua for a long time.
Seeing the stunned look on his face, Shen Yongzhi lowered his eyes and said warmly, “You have grown up too, and you should understand the issue of responsibility and responsibility without me telling you.”
There was a faint hint of astringency in Shen Yu’s throat: “Second brother, you just say it.”
Shen Yongzhi’s tone was flat: “I heard that Miss Bai has sent you a letter recently?”
In fact, it’s not just about sending letters. Bai Yinhua and Shen Yuzhi grew up together. They are not only familiar with his character, but also his habits. Shen Yuzhi usually goes to those places. Can guess seven, seven, eight, eight.
So whether it was a chance encounter or not, Shen Yuzhi felt that his heart was still water, and she was no longer the love he used to be, so when he heard Shen Yongzhi mention it, he was a little at a loss: “Yes, but I didn’t reply. “
Shen Yongzhi asked, “So, did you read it?”
“I see.” Shen Yuzhi answered honestly. He didn’t expect Bai Yinhua to write him a letter, and he was not as careful as before, but handed it to his bookcase carelessly. There was no signature on the envelope. Without noticing it for a while, I opened it up and read it, “But it’s not mine, it’s a letter to Chu Hua.”
The top of the letter was full of care and wishes for Bai Chuhua, and also mixed with a few paragraphs recalling the interesting past of the two of them. Shen Yuzhi could no longer remember what Bai Chuhua looked like when he was a child, so he read it unconsciously. , when he reacted, he had already read the letter.
Shen Yuzhi hesitated for a long time whether to give the letter to Bai Chu, give it, the letter was opened, he was worried that she would get angry; don’t give it, the whole article is about the touching sisterhood, Shen Yuzhi himself was thinking about it He kept a distance from Bai Yinhua, but after all, Chu Hua and her were sisters who grew up together, and he felt that it was too selfish for him to make them feel unfamiliar.
Bai Yinhua originally thought of renewing the front line or breaking through the rift, thinking that it would always be the same, but because of his hesitation, Bai Chu still doesn’t know about it.
He frankly expressed his embarrassment to Shen Yongzhi, and was thinking of asking him for an idea.
Shen Yingyi was silent for a while, before speaking for a long time, “Don’t care about the letter, if you really want to take your heart back, you must first clear up the entanglement with the eldest Miss Bai family.”
Shen Yu was stunned and hurriedly rebutted: “I don’t communicate with her anymore.”
“Really?” Shen Yongzhi said with a light smile, “If she encounters difficulties that day and asks you for help, will you help or not?”
“Help… right?” Shen Yuzhi blurted out a word, looking at Shen Yongzhi’s smiling face, she felt a little guilty: “Then she is my wife and sister after all.”
When your wife and sister encounter difficulties, you should confide to your wife, what happened to begging you?
Shen Yongzhi smiled, but didn’t explain to him the meaning of it, a good person wasn’t meant to be at this time.
He calmly adjusted the hem of his clothes, and Shi Shiran got up and gave him a gentle look: “Think about it for yourself, things will always be resolved the same way.”
He put down these words and left, but Shen Yuzhi was blocked by these words, his brows furrowed, and he didn’t let go for a long time.
…
It was after seven or eight days that Bai Chu realized that it seemed that he hadn’t seen Shen Yuzhi for a long time. Shuangxi was worried that the third young master and the young lady had been in trouble and disappeared for so long. Later, he asked Fuzhong privately. The old man who knew that Shen Yu had been running outside for a few years before, basically was not in the house for at least half a day every day, and Shuangxi was relieved.
It can only be said that this is the habit of the third young master, and it has nothing to do with their young lady.
Shuangxi didn’t talk about it anymore, Bai Chu was even more lazy to care about it. She wanted to live a leisurely life, but Shen Yuzhi disappeared, and Hu Manrou also hid away wisely, but the sisters Shen Fu and Shen Rong didn’t know why. , as if relying on her, running to Wutongyuan every day.
Bai Chu was only trying to force Hu Manrou back, so he pulled Shen Fu. Sure enough, this girl is very strong in combat. Even when she doesn’t lose her temper, she is startled and chatty and lively. Take a look here, touch it there. Touch, words and deeds can make people who were originally calm be forced out of irritability and chest tightness.
On the contrary, Shen Rong, who came with her, was quiet and well-behaved. The two sisters seemed to be two extremes. She really didn’t know what to say.
Bai Chu was impatient, and no one was too lazy to give face, so the second person, the two sisters of the Shen family came to Wutong Courtyard as usual, and when they asked, they found out that the third lady was not there. .
Isn’t that their mother?
Don’t say that Shen Fu was stunned, Shen Rong didn’t react a bit, so she couldn’t complain? What are you reporting? Do you blame them for being too warm to her?
Shen Fu felt that she was a little angry for a wasteful trip, and on the way back, she blamed her sister: “I said that I can’t come every day, right? It seems like we are picking on her too much!”
Just a prostitute, she still doesn’t like it.
Shen Rong knew that if her temper didn’t come out, the anger would not go away, so she just pretended not to hear it, let her complain, and turned to think about Bai Chu’s intentions.
When they returned to their yard, they saw Hu and Bai Chu talking and laughing as they came out of the sisters’ house.
Shen Rong grabbed Shen Fu, for fear that she would rush to say something in a hurry, “Mother, third sister-in-law.”
Seeing them, Bai Chu’s eyes lit up, and on his bright little face, he couldn’t see the laziness of the past few days: “Fur and Rong’er are back, just in time, I was talking to your mother about inviting a master. .”
What she means is that these two sisters come to her every day just to be bored by themselves. The little girl’s family will get married in two or three years. How can you waste your precious youth like this?
She accidentally discovered that Shen Fu liked the pipa and Shen Rong liked calligraphy at the two sisters’ residence. Since she went to Beijing, don’t waste it. There are many famous female masters in Beijing, just invite one or two to teach Shen Fu and Shen Rong sisters. , When they go back after a year, they will always gain something regardless of their knowledge or etiquette.
For the good things about her daughter, Hu’s heart was naturally moved, and after hearing Bai Chu volunteering and willing to take the initiative to propose to the eldest princess, she couldn’t ask for it, and a flower bloomed on her face: “Fur, Rong’er, come over and thank you. You three sisters-in-law.”
Shen Fu was ignorant and didn’t like it when she heard the class. Under Hu’s urging, she forced a smile: “Thank you third sister-in-law.”
Shen Rong lowered her head, as usual shy, her voice was so soft that she could hardly hear: “Rong’er thanked the third sister-in-law.”
Bai Chu’s smile deepened, and he left with Hu’s grateful and enthusiastic congratulations.
Shen Fu couldn’t see her mother’s smiling face like this, as if she had lost her face, and stomped her feet: “Mother, what are you talking about?”
Hu’s eyes widened: “Who am I for? Go back to the house soon! Have you finished embroidering your embroidery?”
Shen Fu knew she was wrong and went back to the house obediently.
On the contrary, Shen Rong did not follow her obediently as usual, but walked up to Hu’s side and asked in a low voice, “Mother, when did the third sister-in-law ask the master to teach us? started?”
Hu Shi gave her a strange look, “Of course, the sooner the better.”
“Mother,” Shen Rong said with a warm expression, showing an eager expression for the first time, “Do you know what day will be in January?”
Hu shi thought about it: “January… Isn’t it the New Year’s Day? What does this have to do with inviting you to a master?”
“Every year on the first day after New Year’s Eve, there will be a state banquet in the palace.”
If they were forced to take classes at home, would they still participate in the excitement outside?
“So what? It’s not my turn…” Hu Shi suddenly widened his eyes, looked at Shen Rong in disbelief, stunned for a while, then raised his hand and slapped her on the arm, “You girl! Damn! How dare you think about anything?”
Shen Rong rubbed her sore arm, and stubbornly pursed her lips: “Mother, I’m also thinking about our family. Although the eldest princess has a noble status, she is only dependent on the uncle’s line, so what does it have to do with us!”
“Furthermore, the daughter is not without self-knowledge, and the royal nobles dare not imagine, but there are so many children from famous families, there are always daughters who can climb it, right?”
“Mother, are you willing to live in a small place with your father for the rest of your life? The capital is prosperous and rich, where is it bad?”
