Splendid Book

Chapter 62
I don't know where the news about Shen Changle's disfigurement came from, but it was said that she dropped out of the girls' school because of the carriage accident that left scars on her body and face.

In addition, she has not appeared in any banquet in the capital for the past two years, so this kind of speculation is getting more and more popular.

So at this time, someone urged: "The third girl is also our senior, why don't we invite her to come in person for our party?"

The faces of the girls at the table showed expressions of interest. Obviously, the third girl from the Shen family seemed to be the most curious in this ordinary flower viewing feast.If there is one, then there are two, it's still not a big deal, I heard the other person beside him is also persuading, asking Shen Yue to invite Shen Changle to come over, anyway, they are all sisters of their own family, so they can't see outsiders like that.

Seeing outsiders is not seeing outsiders. Shen Yue knew from a young age that Shen Changle didn't like her, or more precisely, compared to not liking her, she simply ignored herself.If Shen Jin did something wrong, Shen Changle could point to the tip of his nose and scold her. Shen Jin's face was red when he was scolded, and he only dared to whisper.

At this time, they urged themselves to invite Third Sister, just to watch the fun, but Shen Yue knew that this invitation was probably useless.

She just smiled, wanting to start a different topic to get this one out of the way.But who would have thought that everyone was still holding on to the topic, and Shen Yue was ridiculed after changing it twice.If she keeps fooling around, everyone will know that there is a discord between her and my sister-in-law.

It is difficult to be a concubine, not to mention that her mother has long since fallen out of favor, and she can have today in the Shen family, and it is all due to her own ability.It was only when she entered the girls' school that she realized that the ones who are high and low are no worse than those outside.In the past year, she has been studying in a girls' school, and she has been able to reach such a level, isn't it because she is the only girl in Duke Wei's mansion.The majestic first-rank Duke of the State of Wei is a concubine, so that should not be underestimated.

But she can't be wrong at this time, no one can know.She smiled at Yan Yan, called the servant girl over, and said with a light smile, "Go to Third Sister's yard and ask her to come and have a seat, just saying that the girls here want to see her very much."

The maid in green bijia nodded and turned to go out.

After she left, Shen Yue looked around at the crowd, and said with a slightly tactful tone: "My third sister is shy and never likes these banquets. Even my grandmother praised her for being virtuous and quiet, and asked me to learn more from her. "

Although the words sound nice, the meaning inside is profound.No matter how quiet the girl is, there is no one who does not go out to socialize for two years, so what Shen Yue said, to them, is to cover up Shen Changle's disfigurement.Fortunately, these girls, seeing that the maids have already gone to invite them, are not as eager as they were just now.

As for Shen Yue's maid who had just arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she happened to run into Shen Changle who had just come back. Shen Jin next to her pouted, with a dissatisfied expression on her face, and murmured in a low voice, as if she was talking about something not going her way.

"Why are you here?" Shen Jin said unhappily as soon as he saw Shen Yue's person.

The little maid didn't dare to fool her, she immediately told about the water pavilion over there, and only said that a few girls wanted to invite the third girl to sit there.The servant girl is the person next to Shen Yue, and she is also very high-browed, knowing her own girl's face, it doesn't work in front of these two girls.

As soon as she thought about it, Shen Jin raised her eyebrows, and said in a strange voice: "Oh, the sun is actually coming out from the west, and the students of the dignified women's school can't think of playing with us. I see these few days For a month, the fourth sister either went to this house to see the peach blossoms, or that house to enjoy the snow, but the scenery was really tight. How could this happen, but remember us?"

Shen Jin never said anything to save Shen Yue's face, and Shen Changle also taught him a lesson, but she muttered for a long time, and next time she would still act her own way.What's more, if it wasn't for Shen Changle's No. 1 entry when she took the women's school entrance examination, this girl might not listen to her like this.So Shen Changle can only care about her once or twice, if this is too much, it will be croaking.

Shen Yue's servant girl lowered her head, not daring to speak much, but she was also afraid that she would not be able to invite the third girl back. After thinking about it, she still raised her head, looked at the third girl pitifully, and begged: "Miss San, we girls have to remind you ten thousand times." , I must invite you over there. There are noble ladies from various families over there, they come to the house as guests, and I would like to invite you over to talk."

Shen Jin saw this girl in front of him, one mouthful of the other three girls, completely as if he was dead, and was even more furious, gritted his teeth and said in a hateful voice: "Don't think I don't know what those people are up to, it's nothing more than It's just that I heard about the third sister from outside, and thought that the third sister really ruined her appearance, and everyone wanted to come and laugh at her. As a real sister, the fourth sister not only didn't stop them, but also allowed them to do this, it's really abominable."

As soon as she opened her mouth, she convicted Shen Yue, even Shen Changle couldn't laugh or cry, she just sighed what was going on in her mind?

"Third sister, don't be afraid. Let's go back and dress up now. After we get there, let these crooked melons know what a real beauty is." Shen Jin pulled her arm and was about to go to the yard Go inside, and when you are about to enter the courtyard, you turn around and say: "Go back and tell Fourth Sister, we will be there later."

Shen Changle just went to catch fish in the lake, and she was dressed very simply, now Shen Jin hurriedly dragged her into the house, and called Chunliu and Luwu to come in.Seeing her appearance, Shen Changle wished he could pinch her waist and point her out.But she also felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't go out before, she really didn't want to go out.Besides, it's not like she really didn't take a single step, she has been to her grandfather's house, her aunt's house, and to go to incense.It's just that I didn't go to those banquets very much, mainly because when Ji Yu rescued her, it was too vigorous.

She heard from Shen Jin that even if she went out to socialize, she would have to be asked how she was saved by the Seventh Prince.If she appeared by herself, I'm afraid she would really be stripped and swallowed alive.So she also wanted to cool off for a while before going out, and she was still young, so she was not in a hurry to go out to socialize.

It's just that it's better to change the plan. She didn't expect that because she deliberately avoided those banquets, there would be rumors that her appearance was ruined in Beijing.In fact, this kind of rumor is really ridiculous, she has never taken it seriously, but she didn't want the group of little girls brought back by Shen Yue to be waiting to see a joke.

Shen Changle has always been held in the palm of his hand and grew up. Although she has a good temper, it doesn't mean she is a clay figurine.The meaning of these people's jokes was too obvious, even Shen Jin, who always liked to play against her, felt so angry.

"How about this magenta?" Lu Wu took out a newly made dress and asked softly.

Shen Changle and Shen Jin looked at it at the same time, and then shook their heads tacitly, both of them thought it was not very good-looking.So the maids took the clothes outside one by one, as if Shen Changle was going to attend some important banquet dutifully.

"I think it would be too grand to dress up," Shen Changle pondered for a while, then asked Lvwu to take out the silver and white long skirt with peach blossoms, and underneath it was matched with a pink string skirt. Simple is a little simple, but silver and white are simple and elegant.It is said to be pretty and filial, Shen Changle naturally dare not wear white, but this silvery white can wear a dignified atmosphere.

After she changed into her clothes, the surprise in the eyes of the people in the room really made her a little shy.When I lowered my head to take a look, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed. How old I am, I can still make fun of these little girls, which is really a joke.

"This outfit is really pretty, third sister, you have really good eyesight," Shen Jin looked at it for a while, then said dryly, this was originally intended to kill the group of women in the garden, but who knows that it actually killed her in the end My own, so jealous.

Seeing her appearance like this, Shen Changle deliberately asked: "Are you still going?"

"Go, of course I have to go," Shen Jin jumped up. Before that, only Shen Changle was on the boat to fish. She had been waiting in the octagonal gazebo next to her, so her clothes were still exquisite and beautiful. Besides, she was young, At most, she is delicate and cute, not as good as the third sister, who is already exquisite and looks like a big girl.

It was also funny for Shen Changle to see her so happy, this girl is really unyielding.

Shen Changle asked Luwu to comb her hair into a bun again, which was also the usual simple hair.When she looked at herself in the bronze mirror, she still couldn't help but stare blankly. In her previous life, she was not proud of her appearance, because it didn't bring her anything, but when she looked at herself in this life, she realized that she was like this. Appearance is also a kind of capital.

Shen Jin next to her also asked her maid to cut her hair, and then she went there with Shen Changle.

When the two of them arrived with their maids, the girls in the waterside pavilion were playing flower passing and beating drums. The delicate and beautiful flowers were being passed on in delicate hands like jade. The knocking sound stopped, and the girl who was still holding flowers was proud and shy.

It just so happened that Shen Jin got the flowers this time, she turned her head to think for a while, and was about to speak.But he found a few people at the door, and many people also noticed it.No need to explain, anyone would know that the two leading girls must be the third girl and the fifth girl of the Shen residence, as for distinguishing these two, it is even easier, the slightly taller one is the third girl, and the shorter one is the fifth girl.

It's just that when they saw Shen Changle's appearance, almost everyone held their breath for a moment, as if as long as the breathing was a little louder, the woman opposite could become a fairy.

Shen Jin looked at the astonishing eyes in the room, although she knew it wasn't because of herself, but she didn't care about jealousy, and just laughed secretly that these people were really ignorant.But thinking about it is also true, originally I wanted to see the excitement, but I realized that this is an extreme beauty after meeting.Seeing their stunned looks, Shen Jin couldn't help but want to laugh.

They are still students in the yellow character class of women's school, a group of idiots who listen to wind and rain.

"Third Sister, Fifth Sister, you're here, we're all waiting for you," Shen Yue was the first to recover, she stood up and greeted her with a little smile on her lips.

"I'm really sorry for keeping everyone waiting," she nodded and looked at the crowd, with a timely apologetic expression on her face.

Shen Yue immediately smiled and said: "Where, we are playing flower passing and drumming, and you are at the right place." She turned her head to look at Shen Jin next to her, reached out her arm, and said affectionately: "Fifth sister, You're not always the favorite to play this."

Shen Jin looked at her as a master, and couldn't help sneering in her heart.But after all, in front of outsiders, she suppressed the disdain in her heart, and with an embarrassed smile on her face, she asked, "If this is the case, will it bother you too much?"

"Where will it be? Two girls join us. We wish for it," said a girl wearing pomegranate red and ten-color brocade gowns on the table softly.

Shen Yue asked the servant girl to move the chair to sit with the girls.The table in the water pavilion is a table for two people, with seasonal melons, fruits and snacks on it.So this time Shen Changle and Shen Jin came together, and they happened to sit at the same table.

After they sat down, Qiao Yan looked at Shen Yue with a smile and said: "Just now we beat the drums to pass the flowers, but it's the fourth girl's turn, so you have to pass this round of orders first, you are not allowed to escape."

Although Qiao Yan's tone was affectionate, what she said seemed like Shen Yue often did such things.

Shen Yue smiled happily, and looked around, "That's not the case, this round is naturally my turn, wait for the next round, third sister and fifth sister will join."

Executing the order was not difficult. After she finished speaking, there was applause from all around.But after she finished, Qiao Yan said again: "I think our order is too simple, how about this, we still play drums and pass flowers, but this time we play with clear rewards and punishments."

Probably some girls felt that the order was boring, and when she heard that there were rewards and punishments, they immediately asked curiously: "Why are the rewards and punishments clear?"

"That is, we take flowers as the theme. Each person can only pass the flowers down after saying a poem with flowers in them. If the drums stop, whose hands fall on them, whoever saves the world will be punished with a glass of wine," Qiao said. Yan said unhurriedly.

When everyone heard this, they thought the idea was good, but someone asked again: "But we don't have any alcohol at the table, how can we punish alcohol?"

They are all 12-year-old girls, and they are not allowed to drink alcohol at home, but when it comes to fine wine, they are all very interested.And Shen Changle frowned, she didn't want to let the girl at the banquet go home drunk, otherwise the reputation of the girl from the Shen family would be ruined. It's really outrageous to say it.

Fortunately, Qiao Yan's eyes rolled around, a smirk appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said, "Since there is no wine, let's replace wine with tea. But drinking tea is not a sip, but a whole cup."

Having said that, almost everyone's eyes turned around the lid of the tea, and it would not be a big deal if it was poured down like this.If anyone is unlucky, drink a few more glasses, I'm afraid the official room will have to make a few more trips in the end.

But Qiao Yan's proposal was almost unanimously approved, probably everyone thought that the unlucky guy couldn't be herself.

So the game started, this round started with Shen Yue, she immediately said a poem, and quickly passed the flowers to the person next to her.Then everyone suddenly found that the more difficult it is to go to the back, because not only the drumbeat will stop at any time, but the people before it are likely to say the poem you want to say.

Fortunately, those who can be admitted to the women's school are not mediocre, and the speed will not slow down until the end of the round.Just when Shen Changle finished speaking and handed it to Shen Jin, she just opened her mouth to speak when the drum stopped.

Shen Changle turned to look at her in surprise, and saw annoyed expression on her face.

"This time I actually caught the fifth girl," Qiao Yan said amusedly, and Shen Jin's complexion became even worse after her words.

Alright, Shen Jin drank the tea in front of him in one gulp, Shen Changle handed over the handkerchief in his hand, and said softly: "Why are you drinking so fast? It's not that you can't answer, it's just that you're not very lucky. The drum beat stopped."

Shen Changle's words were not to excuse her, Shen Jin probably just thought it was bad luck in his heart, so he immediately turned his anger into a smile, and told the servant girl, "Come again."

As a result, this game was really boring, and those who drank tea were not reconciled, and wanted others to accompany themselves to be unlucky.As for those who didn't drink tea, they felt that they were lucky, and wanted to continue to see other people's unlucky.

As a result, after playing more than a dozen rounds, the order was changed several times in the middle.In the end, someone finally couldn't bear to go to the official room. After everyone laughed, they didn't have much trouble and let her go.The game just paused.

Shen Jin was not punished except after drinking tea in the first round.Then there was a girl who asked with a smile, "Fifth girl, it's time to take the women's school exam in September, right?"

All the students sitting in this room are women's students, so they naturally feel that it is a very honorable thing to be admitted to a women's school, so they will focus on the only one present who is not a female student.As for Shen Changle, a former female student, everyone already knows her story.Now knowing that she is not disfigured, the regret and gloating in my heart have completely disappeared.

Shen Jin nodded: "I do have this plan."

"The women's school exam is very strict. It's not just memorizing poems." Qiao Yan looked at her with a smile and said, "Especially the gentlemen in charge of the exam are even more upright. But fifth girl, If you need any help, don't hesitate, we can do our best."

When Qiao Yan said such words in public, Shen Jin's expression darkened.She has a hot temper, how can she bear Qiao Yan's words.But who would have thought that she turned her face and smiled again, showing a smile, "It's not good to bother you, my third sister was the first in the entrance examination back then."

There was a chuckle from the side, Qiao Yan really wanted to be humiliated, but she was humiliated instead.You still want to guide others, and you don't even look at how far you got in the exam when you entered school.
