Splendid Book

Chapter 27
After hearing this, Shen Changle continued to eat the dim sum in her hand without changing her expression. The dim sum in the kitchen was getting more and more delicious. Just say that this red bean cake is sweet but not greasy, and it is full of the sweetness of red beans Taste, one bite is really delicious.

"Do you want to fly a kite?" Ji Yu asked, turning his eyes away from the window, and reaching out to touch her head.

Shen Changle pouted, the worst thing about being a child is that anyone can touch your hair.And the way he strokes his hair is like comforting a puppy.But she still nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to fly a kite."

"I'm going to fly a kite too," Ye Lanting yelled as soon as he heard that they were going.

Shen Changle naturally took him with him, but turned around and said to Shen Yue's maid: "Fourth younger sister is still young, so she can't let the wind blow outside, you should take her back quickly, so as not to worry Aunt An."

The servant girl was always scared, but when she heard what the third girl said, she immediately said: "Yes, this servant will obey the girl's orders."

After Shen Changle and the three of them left with a huff, Shen Yue sat on a chair and watched Ji Yu lead her away from the bridge, while Ye Lanting followed behind chattering.However, the servant girl next to her didn't even notice her, and coaxed her with a smile: "Young maidservant, please take the girl back, we've been out for so long, aunt should be worried."

"Auntie is in the wife's yard, why would she worry about me?" Shen Yue said angrily, but still jumped off the chair.

The servant girl didn't dare to refute, but still coaxed her to go back.Shen Yue was naturally unwilling to go back like this, but Ji Yu looked cold, and to be honest, as soon as she saw his face, she would feel a wave of fear in her heart.

"Maidservant take the girl back, shall I?" Seeing that she was still unwilling to leave, the servant girl said immediately.

Shen Yue glared at her, the servant girl smiled sarcastically, she looked into the distance, in fact, she could still vaguely see the people over there.But it would be really embarrassing if she followed her at this time.Shen Yue stomped her feet, and finally returned to her yard.

Now Mrs. Lin finds that Aunt An is getting more and more unpleasant, so Aunt An has to wait in Lin's yard for a long time every day.In the past, Shen Lingcheng often went to Lin's yard, so in order to prevent her aunt and Shen Lingcheng from bumping into each other, she usually didn't leave her aunt in her yard for a long time.But recently, because Shen Jin was crying day and night, and there were guests at home, Shen Lingcheng even rarely set foot in the backyard.

The servant girl didn't dare to disturb her when she saw that she was so depressed.

But after a while, there was movement in the yard, and after a while, it was Aunt An who came back.Shen Yue was originally sitting on Luohan's bed, but when she saw her come back, she jumped up and asked in surprise, "Why did Auntie come back so early?"

"Fifth girl is not doing well today. She is crying and spitting up milk. The two nannies can't take care of her well. My wife let me come back," Aunt An said with a smile.

She slanted her body and sat down on the Arhat bed, seeing Shen Yue's sullen look, she asked distressedly: "What's wrong with Miss Si?"

Shen Yue played with her fingers, but didn't speak.On the other hand, the maid next to her, upon seeing this, immediately said: "Just now Miss Four met Third Miss in the garden, and the two young masters who were guests at our house, but when Third Miss went to fly the kite, she didn't bring us with her. "

Aunt An originally only had her as a daughter, so she naturally looked at her as her sweetheart, so after listening to the maid's words, she naturally felt distressed in every possible way.She didn't dare to blame Shen Changle, after all, there was a farewell between the concubine and the concubine, even if the third girl really didn't want to play with the fourth girl, it would still make people speechless.

"It's just flying a kite. If you want to go, Auntie will ask someone to make a big kite for you. Let's fly a kite tomorrow," Aunt An comforted her.

Shen Yue immediately raised her head, frowned and muttered: "That's different."

Aunt An was amused by her adult-like expression, and she asked: "Why is it different, isn't it all about flying kites?"

Seeing her like this, Shen Yue really felt resentful and uncomfortable.If my aunt could be more up-to-date, why would she be so ignored by the third sister.At this time, she not only remembered her previous life, she was also a concubine, but because she knew the status of a concubine, she had to please Shen Jin's younger sister who was a concubine, and followed her every day. If she was happy, The wife will be able to reward one or two pieces of jewellery.If she was upset, she would either raise her eyebrows or raise her eyes vertically to herself, and she would not have the slightest respect for her elder sister.

Although she also knew that there was a difference between a concubine and a concubine, it was really stupid to accept her fate like that.It wasn't until the second room of the Shen family returned to the mansion that she realized that there were such beautiful aunts and concubines in the backyard.

So in this life, she shouldn't just accept her fate like this.She didn't want to try to curry favor with Mrs. Lin, but in the end all she got was a little charity from her.She also didn't want to follow behind Shen Jin, flattering and flattering her like a pug.

"Third sister is flying a kite with her two older brothers today, there are many people, but third sister won't bring me with her," Shen Yue said in a low voice aggrieved.

When Aunt An heard her daughter's words, she felt distressed, but what could she do?After all, everyone knows that the third girl is favored.So she coaxed: "When the time comes, Auntie will let Lianpeng and Heye bring their maids to play with you."

Shen Yue rolled her eyes in her heart, who wants to play with a bunch of maids.

She waved her hand and told the maids to go out.Aunt An also joked that she couldn't say anything in front of people, and insisted on whispering these whispers in front of her.But Shen Yue's mind is heavy now, although she is full of ideas, but she just can't put them to use.Not to mention anything else, but she is only a little old now, other children can talk at most, and they don't even know how to speak.If she really said something, let alone Lin, I was afraid that Aunt An, her own mother, would regard her as a monster.

So Shen Yue didn't dare to take it to the public, and every time she made indirect remarks.

At this moment, she leaned into Aunt An's arms and complained: "Third sister never played differently. In the past, she only played with her two brothers, and now she only plays with the two brothers who are guests."

Aunt An touched her hair distressedly, but said nothing, Shen Yue poked her finger back and forth, and said meaningfully: "If only I could have a real sister or brother."

Aunt An was stunned for a moment, she just thought she was a child, and couldn't help laughing.

But Shen Yue turned her head, pulled her sleeves relentlessly, and said coquettishly: "Auntie, I just want a little brother."

Aunt An was so troubled by her that she had no choice but to treat her like a child, so she couldn't explain it clearly, so she could only coax her and said, "The fifth girl is your sister."

"That's not the same," Shen Yue felt resentful. In her opinion, among the women in her father's back house, Aunt An was the prettiest one. Daddy's affection is not comparable to others.I just don't know why she doesn't know how to fight for it. If she can give birth to a son, the situation of their mother and daughter will definitely be different.

So in this life, she must have her own brother.

Aunt An saw that she was very serious today, so she had no choice but to say: "Even if you want a little brother, it will not happen overnight, you child."

Shen Yue grabbed her hand and shook it desperately, she said: "If my aunt has a son, she won't have to be bullied by his wife every day."

Aunt An covered her mouth with a frightened expression on her face.After she looked around, she asked urgently in a low voice, "Who taught you these words?"

She naturally didn't think that a little girl over two years old could say such a thing.Someone must have handed it to her on purpose. Is it Aunt Xu from Xikuayuan, or Tongfang Suxin who lives in the same yard as him?She kept thinking about it, but she felt that everyone was possible, but no one was possible.

Shen Yue covered her mouth with her palm and almost couldn't breathe.After finally breaking free, he opened his mouth and said, "No one taught me."

But after thinking about it, what she said was indeed too shocking for her age.So she immediately put on a grievance expression on her face, lying in Aunt An's arms, and said: "I overheard that Auntie is always left in the yard by his wife. They say that wife deliberately bullies Auntie. I don't want Auntie Being bullied."

Aunt An couldn't help feeling sad when she heard her daughter's childish words.Thinking back to when she was slapped by the master, what expectations she had in her heart at that time, the Duke is so handsome and extraordinary, even if he treats a maid like her very kindly.I still remember that when she served in the Duke's yard in the first year, she accidentally broke a vase that the Duke liked, and she was scared to death.But in the end the Duke just laughed it off and told her to be careful next time.

Since then, she has never made any mistakes in serving in the yard.That day when the Duke was drunk, it was she who had such thoughts, and she deliberately climbed into the bed of the Duke.

But she doesn't regret it, she has the fourth daughter, and now her family has face in the mansion.But Miss Si's words today made her unable to hold back her tears.There is no way for them to be maids. If the family is more capable, they can be matched with a decent family.But if the family can't do it, just pull it out and marry a boy, and the child born in the future will still be a slave.

Aunt An used to be a decent errand, but since entering Shen Lingcheng's yard, she has been facing such a man every day, so how can she still look down on those servants.So after becoming an aunt, not only was she happy in her heart, but even her whole family wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

After thinking so much about this meeting, Aunt An's mood was also in a mess.

Shen Yue looked back at the melancholy on her face, and couldn't help but sigh.In the final analysis, her aunt is a little shallow, and her temperament is really soft.She hoped that she would be more self-motivated.

"Auntie, you can give me a little brother, so that I won't be alone," Shen Yue brought up the previous topic again.

Aunt An looked down, with a wry smile on her face, and said: "Silly girl, this child can be born as soon as it is born."

She shook her head, but she couldn't help thinking about it in her heart.

Besides, because Ye Lanting was about to leave, Shen Changle thought about it and found a stone.This is a good thing that Shen Lingcheng cherished, Shen Changle went to his study, and came back with the sheep.This is top-grade Shoushan stone, which is specially used to make engraved seals.She can't use it now, so she gave it to Ye Lanting as a thank you for the gift he brought her earlier.

What's more, she did have something she wanted to say to Ye Lanting.

Taking advantage of Shen Ruan's time before school, Shen Changle went to the courtyard where Ye Lanting lived.Ye Mingshan was not in the yard, so he probably stayed with his father.Ye Lanting was in the yard, just packing up.

So when he saw her coming, he was so surprised that he forgot to be happy.This is the first time Shen Changle has come back to his yard since he lived here for a few days.He immediately got off the couch and asked joyfully, "Sister Changle, why are you here?"

Although the courtyard where the Ye family father and son lived was a guest courtyard, the furnishings inside were exquisite.In the middle of the big kang by the window was a small red lacquer table, where a brush and ink were being placed, and Ye Lanting should have been writing.

"Brother Lanting, what are you busy with?" Shen Changle tilted his head to read the words on it.

Unexpectedly, Ye Lanting pulled her back and said hastily, "Wait a minute, after I pack up the things first, you can sit down again. Otherwise, the ink will be spilled, and it will be broken."

Although he said so, Shen Changle really didn't believe it.But Ye Lanting still called the servant to come in and tidy things up.Only then did he ask Shen Changle to do it, and asked enthusiastically: "Sister Changle, did you come here to ask me for something?"

Ye Lanting was staring at her at this moment, his eyes were focused and bright, his beautiful brows were stretched, looking at his smiling face was like a spring breeze blowing on his face.Shen Changle was originally here to give gifts, seeing him so happy now, naturally he gave this gift more willingly.

When she took out the brocade box containing the Shoushan Stone, Ye Lanting's eyes seemed to be on fire, and he asked in disbelief, "Is this for me?"

Shen Changle also grinned when he saw that he looked dumbfounded.In the past few days, father has praised Ye Lanting's intelligence more than once, and said how good he is at reading, but Shen Changle looked at him, he looked like a little fool in front of her, even such a stone could make him so happy.

"That's natural. Brother Lan Ting gave me a gift earlier, and I like it very much. You're leaving tomorrow, so I want to give you a gift too. Keep it in mind," Shen Changle said. She finished speaking in one breath, but after she said it, she felt something was wrong again.

But Ye Lanting on the opposite side had already held the Shoushan Stone in his hand, and said happily: "I will remember the friendship of Sister Changle."

Shen Changle looked at his appearance and knew that he was happy from the bottom of his heart.In the past few days, she also knew the situation of Ye Lanting's family. He was an only child.There is only one cousin above, so there are usually no brothers and sisters.In addition, Shen Changle does have a face that can scare people. Although she is young, Yuxue is so cute that people can't put it down.

So Ye Lanting was in Shen's house these few days, so he probably revolved around her.

Shen Changle thought for a while, and was about to speak when he saw a servant come in with a fruit plate.After the servant put the plate on the bar table, Ye Lanting was busy calling her to eat again, Shen Changle couldn't say what he wanted to say for a while.

After a while, she pretended to mention it casually: "My second elder brother will come back later today, and he is going to learn how to ride a horse. By the way, Brother Lanting, do you like riding a horse?"

"Of course I like it. I still have a pony at home. My father said that after I go back, he will let me learn to ride a horse," Ye Lanting said with a high air. There is no reason why a little boy doesn't like riding and shooting. For those horses and bows, they are born with a desire to possess.

Even if Ye Lanting looks so gentle, he has a lot to say when it comes to riding a horse.

Shen Changle bit her lip, she had thought about this matter for a while, and finally decided to do it.

She said: "Ah, you actually like riding horses. I hate horses the most. Every time my second brother rides a horse, his body smells like a stench. I thought Brother Lanting, you would be different from my second brother." Same."

Her deliberate disappointment obviously made Ye Lanting stunned.The joyful expression on his face slowly disappeared, and his body leaned forward and sat back slowly.Shen Changle stared at him, while Ye Lanting frowned, thought for a while, and then asked cautiously: "Don't you like riding horses?"

"Of course, not only do I not like horses, but I also hate people who can ride horses. They all have a bad smell. I don't want to be friends with such people," Shen Changle said resolutely, pouted.

Ye Lanting really had a troubled expression on his face at this moment.Before, he just rode a lap on the pony in his own Zhuangzi, and he was very happy.Wouldn't it be extremely regrettable if he was really asked not to ride a horse.But he also wanted to be friends with Chang Le, he didn't want her to dislike him, and he didn't want her to hate him.So when he thought about it, he was extremely embarrassed.

Shen Changle also saw the contradiction on his face, and knew that what he said was indeed difficult for others.But compared to life, the fact of riding a horse is nothing to worry about.She also knew that her appearance must be hideous, but she had no choice but to put her hands together in her heart, feeling very guilty towards Ye Lanting.

At this time Ye Lanting seemed to have recovered from the previous shock, he said softly: "Actually, if you just ride a horse, as long as you wash frequently, you will definitely not have a bad smell on your body."

"No, I can't smell the smell of the horse anymore, not even a little bit, and I think the rider is extremely rude." Shen Changle looked at Ye Lanting with bright eyes, and praised: "Brother Lanting, you are elegant and quiet. , I’m sure you won’t learn how to ride a horse.”

Ye Lanting didn't speak for a moment.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Changle said with a heavy tone: "Brother Lanting, if you also learn to ride a horse in the future, then I will never see you again."

"Why?" Ye Lanting said anxiously when he heard that it was so serious.

Shen Changle said categorically, "I just don't like horses. If you become friends with me, you can't learn how to ride a horse."

Ye Lanting pursed his lips and remained silent, obviously between Shen Changle and Ma, he had to make a choice.Although he didn't know why he had to make such a strange choice, but looking at Shen Changle's appearance, he didn't want to make her unhappy.But let him really not learn to ride a horse, he really can't make up his mind.

Seeing that he was hesitating, Shen Changle got up from the couch, and made a gesture that I will leave immediately and never be friends with you again.Ye Lanting was bluffed by her, immediately stretched out his hand to grab her, and shouted: "Changle, don't go."

"Then tell me, do you want to learn how to ride a horse, or do you want to be friends with me forever?" Shen Changle asked him seriously.

Ma or Changle, this is a painful decision for the young Ye Lanting.

Seeing his tangled expression, Shen Changle felt uncomfortable.In fact, she also knew that it was difficult for her to do so.She just took advantage of Ye Lanting's liking for her and his innocence and kindness.But all of this was for his own good. Back then, Ye Lanting fell from his horse and was trampled by a crazy horse and died.

At that time, it was only half a year before their wedding.

Shen Changle still remembered that she was embroidering her own hijab that day, and what she embroidered was a pair of mandarin ducks. She had already embroidered one, and she was about to embroider the second one soon.But suddenly the second elder brother rushed into his yard, he didn't say anything, just looked at himself with red eyes.

At that time, she thought that something happened to her father or elder brother. In a panic, the needle pricked her finger, and the blood dripped on the embroidered mandarin duck.

News came from the Ye family that Ye Lanting was gone.

At that time, she just felt at a loss. She was going to get married in half a year, but her fiance fell off his horse and died.She felt that this must be a joke made by God with her, a particularly meaningless joke.

But now, God gave all of them a chance to start over.She has a chance to change Ye Lanting's fate, so even if she does such an unreasonable thing, she still has to persist.Even if in the end, the two of them will not enter into a marriage contract like they did in the last life, but she will still be safe with Ye Lanting.

Peace is a blessing, this is the sentence she understands most deeply.

Ye Lanting had clearly thought about it, he thought for a while, and said firmly: "I want to be friends with Sister Changle, don't be angry, I will never ride a horse again."

"Really?" Shen Changle asked seriously, and she added: "Your home is in the south of the Yangtze River, and I live here, how do I know if you will secretly ride a horse?"

"No, I promise you, I won't," Ye Lanting also replied seriously, although he is young, he has also learned the words of a man who promises a thousand gold.

He said: "I will definitely do what I promised you, so don't be angry. We have always been good friends, and I will never ride a horse in my life."

Only then did Shen Changle nod in satisfaction.

What she didn't know was that, if he agreed to this sentence, it would be a lifetime.
