After rebirth, the regent refused to divorce

Chapter 18 Promise
……

The weather is getting warmer, and there are more peddlers hawking on the roadside. Shen Qingyi was caught off guard by all kinds of gadgets on the roadside for a while, and when Chu Zheng stepped into Pingnanhou's mansion at three o'clock, she also Only then did he tiptoe into the door with a box of messy gadgets in his arms.

She couldn't help being surprised when the boy who opened the door saw it.

"Third little..."

Shen Qingyi hurriedly put her hand on her lips to stop him from speaking.

"Hush—be quiet, don't let my second brother know that I'm only coming back at this time, he must have picked my skin—"

"I want to peel off your skin right now."

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind the door, which scared Shen Qingyi so much that his hairs stood on end, and he almost stepped on the ground.

She turned her head, only to see Shen Jingnian leaning against the door with folded arms, staring at her with a half-smile.

She hurriedly hid the things in her hands behind her back, grinned uglier than crying, and said, "Brother...you, why are you here?"

Liu Ying hurriedly stepped forward to make a rescue: "Second young master, don't get me wrong. In fact, the young lady came back earlier. It's just that the young lady wanted to lose weight, so she ran out again, came back again, and then ran out again..."

She looked at Shen Jingnian's foolish gaze, and silently closed her mouth.

The three masters and servants slid like three shrunken ostriches with their heads lowered, and Shen Jingnian dragged them back to the back garden by the back collar.

"What's the matter, the three little girls made such a mistake?"

Suddenly, an extremely elegant voice came from the depths of the flower gallery.

Shen Qingyi heard the sound and looked, seeing someone coming, quickly grabbed his arm like a life-saving straw and hid behind him, saying: "Brother, second brother bullied me! Beat him for me."

The eldest son Shen Yinian was amused, and said: "Little silly girl, the second child is also worried about you, why don't you hurry up and make amends to brother?"

Shen Qingyi quit: "Who wants to apologize to him? I don't want it."

She leaned closer to Shen Yinian's ear: "Brother, if you help me escape this disaster, I will send a message to Sister Yuan and let her come to our house to play."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Yinian's ears turned red immediately, he coughed awkwardly, and said: "Miss Yuan is very busy, don't make trouble for others."

Shen Jingnian said casually, "Aren't you busy? If you continue to be busy, I'm afraid you will be busy getting married in two days."

When Shen Yinian heard this, she became anxious.

"What did you say?"

Shen Qingyi rushed out from behind her, and said: "Second brother is right, if you delay any longer, Sister Yuan will marry someone else sooner or later."

Shen Yinian blushed: "Why, why?"

Shen Qingyi said: "Sister Yuan's father is a scholar of the Hanlin University, and Sister Yuan is both civil and military. Even if you look at the whole Huaijing, she is one of the best in a hundred. If the elder brother doesn't hurry up, such a good girl will marry someone else's wife sooner or later. Now, let's see if you still have the mind to refuse."

Seeing that Shen Yinian was still blushing and hesitantly bowed his head and said nothing, Shen Qingyi and Shen Jingnian took him by one arm in a tacit understanding and dragged him back to the room.

Two quarters of an hour later, Shen Yinian, who had changed into brand new clothes, was pushed by two younger siblings to the side of Yuan Wanning who had just got off the carriage.

"Second brother and I still have things to do, so let's go first."

Qingluo and Liuying were sent by Shen Qingyi to pack up the things they bought before they came back. Shen Qingyi took Shen Jingnian's hand, and before leaving, he still did not forget to wink at Shen Yinian, and said in a low voice: "Behave well." .”

Then he pulled the second son, Shen Jingnian, to grease the soles of his feet.

"three……!"

Shen Yinian was very embarrassed, but in the blink of an eye, the two siblings disappeared.

Shen Yinian was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and the words he said were endless. The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Miss Yuan put down the flowers and turned her head to look at him, and suddenly said bluntly: "Do you like me?"

The young magistrate obviously didn't expect that Miss Yuan would be so tough and would ask such a frank question, so he couldn't help hesitating a few times in embarrassment, but when Xu was asked bluntly, his expression relaxed after a while, and he spoke generously. He admitted: "...Yes, I have been pleasing Miss Yuan for a long time."

Yuan Wanning smiled and said: "Since I like you, why have you been talking about him for so long? Just put it bluntly, will I still eat you?"

Shen Yinian sighed: "But I am just a small fifth-rank magistrate, and Yanqing Mansion is not considered a rich place, so what if I like Miss Yuan? Miss Yuan is a wild goose that should soar in the sky, not a little girl like me. What the magistrates can get."

Yuan Wanning suddenly stopped smiling when she heard the words.

Behind her is a large piece of purple wisteria, and she is also dressed in purple, surrounded by it, she looks like a flower god descending into the world, with a tall and slender figure, even the cloud-like wisteria is overwhelmed by it in an instant.

It seemed that it was the first time she looked directly at Shen Yinian, her eyes showed a completely different seriousness from before.

She said: "I am good at singing and dancing in the peace of the country, and I can fight on the battlefield when the country is in motion. I can enjoy the snow in the mountains and rivers, and I can ride the flowers on the horse. I can recite poems and Fu, and I can play the piano and paint. A man can do everything." I can do everything, even what a man can't, I can do it, but how can I be willing to be imprisoned in the house and be subservient to a man?
"As you said, I want to spread my wings and fly, so naturally I don't want to just be a bird in a cage for people to play with.

"My son's promise is only to be a couple for a lifetime, but what I want is to be able to walk side by side with my husband after marriage, instead of being subordinate to him and being an unknown housewife.

"I think in the future I will still be able to travel all over the famous mountains and great rivers, enjoy thousands of miles of rivers and rivers, watch the moon in Kunshan, and enjoy the snow for thousands of years. I hope that the person I marry will be a wanderer who can walk side by side with me, not a prisoner. My shackles have nothing to do with my status, what I want from my husband is nothing more than the word 'fairness'.

"If Mr. Shen can really do it, no matter where the world is, Wan Ning will never leave."

Her words made everyone present - naturally including Shen Qingyi's brother and sister who were peeping in the corner of the wall - silent.

Shen Yinian took two steps back in silence, after a while, he suddenly turned and left without saying a word.

Yuan Wanning seemed to have expected this result long ago, and was not surprised at all when she saw it, but sighed in a familiar way, and continued to sit in the corridor admiring the large expanses of wisteria flowers like purple clouds.

Witnessing her brother's departure, Shen Qingyi's jaw almost dropped from shock.

She hated iron but said angrily: "Brother, is he crazy? Hasn't he been in love with Ms. Yuan for a long time? What Ms. Yuan said is not excessive, why did he run away and do such a despicable thing?"

However, before she could rush out to grab Shen Yinian back, she saw a person running over in a hurry, holding something in his hand, his forehead was covered with sweat.

It was the elder son Shen Yinian who had gone and returned.

He was out of breath, but his eyes were shining with a very moving light, firm and affectionate, as if he would drown Yuan Wanning in it the next moment.

Yuan Wanning was slightly stunned by the accident.

Shen Yinian stuffed all the things in Yuan Wanning's hands into Yuan Wanning's hands, panting heavily: "This is the ceremony book I prepared early in the morning, I would like to ask Miss Yuan to have a look, if you want to add something that is missing, if Yuan If the girl is willing, tomorrow Yi Nian will ask her parents to come to her door to propose marriage."

Yuan Wanning seemed to be taken aback, she covered her mouth in astonishment, tears flickered in her eyes.

This is the first time that a girl who has always been graceful and generous, has always shown her daughter's unique shyness and joy, adding a touch of touching light to her already beautiful face.

Her vocal cords choked, and she trembled: "Master Shen, you..."

Shen Yinian reached out and picked off a wisteria that was in full bloom, and put it on Yuan Wanning's hair with his own hands, looking at Yuan Wanning with serious and hot eyes, causing Yuan Wanning's face to be stained with a layer of crimson for no reason .

Shen Yinian also blushed to the ears, but still looked at Yuan Wanning firmly.

"Since the first time I met you in Xiu Duyi, I have been seduced by Miss Yuan. At that time, I swore that I will never tolerate anyone else in Yi Nian's eyes except Miss Yuan in this life.

"Miss Yuan, not to mention traveling all over the mountains and rivers, looking at the snow on the top of the mountains, admiring the moon in the sky, even if you want to live on the cliffs, deep in the waves, eat in the wind and sleep in the open, I, Shen Yinian, have no complaints.

"Miss Yuan, are you willing to marry me?"

Shen Yinian's question made Yuan Wanning bite her lip, the sassy appearance just now seemed to fade away in an instant, and disappeared without a trace.

Shen Qingyi pinched her second elder brother's hand excitedly, completely unaware that Shen Jingnian's mouth twisted in pain from being pinched by her, but she was afraid of disturbing the atmosphere that was finally created at this moment, so she forced herself to hold it in her throat, unable to spit out or swallow. .

However, before Yuan Wanning's reply, Shen Qingyi saw two beautiful figures, one pink and one green, like flowers and green leaves, equally pretty and bright, but Shen Qingyi secretly groaned.

Qing Luo and Liu Ying looked around, probably looking for her, seeing Liu Ying patted Qing Luo and said something, Shen Qingyi knew that the two maids had obviously seen her in the dark.

She secretly thought that she couldn't let the two of them mess things up, so she winked desperately at the two maids, but the two were at a loss. Not uncomfortable?"

The people behind the flower gallery, Shen Yinian and Yuan Wanning are the only two in the bright place, and Shen Qingyi and the two brothers and sisters are the only ones in the dark place. As soon as Liu Ying's words came out, the ambiguous atmosphere that was just a taste of it was ruthlessly broken. Shen Yinian and Yuan Wanning Both pairs of eyes fell on Shen Jingnian who was in the bushes.

"..."

The four of them stared at each other for a moment, and the second elder brother Shen Jingnian who was the leader took the lead and pulled his younger sister up to get up from the bushes, and forced himself to smile: "Brother, future sister-in-law, Jing Nian and others are just passing by here by chance, you just said Nothing, we didn't hear anything."

"..."

The future sister-in-law has been called, and the last two sentences are a proper cover-up.

His words lowered the atmosphere even more.

Yuan Wanning was the first to react, and the color on his face immediately became three points darker. The others didn't care anymore, and immediately turned and ran away, only the Shen family brothers and sisters were left looking at each other under the wisteria flowers.

The second son, Shen Jingnian, raised his eyebrows.

"Brother, what are you still looking at here? Hurry up, we won't have any sister-in-laws in a while!"

Only then did Shen Yinian slap his head as if he had just woken up from a dream, and chased after him with the ritual book in his arms.
