Chapter 18 Confirmation of Love (Additional update please vote!)
…
The weather is getting warmer, and there are more and more hawkers on the roadside. Shen Qingyi was tripped by various gadgets on the roadside for fun. When Chu Zheng stepped into Pingnan Hou Mansion at three o'clock in the morning, she also Then I crept through the door holding a box of messy gadgets.
The boy who opened the door couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it was her.
"Three little ones..."
Shen Qingyi quickly put her hand on her lips to stop him.
"Shh - keep your voice down, don't let my second brother know that I came back at this time, he will definitely peel off my skin -"
"I want to peel off your skin right now."
"Whoa!"
Leng Buding heard a familiar voice from behind the door, which frightened Shen Qingyi to the point where her hair stood on end and she almost lost her footing.
She turned around and saw Shen Jingnian leaning against the door with his arms folded, staring at her with a half-smile but not a smile on his face.
Shen Yinian sighed: "But I am only a small fifth-grade prefect, and Yanqing Mansion is not a wealthy place. So what if I like Miss Yuan? Miss Yuan is a wild goose that should fly in the sky, not me. Within the reach of a small local official."
Shen Jingnian said casually: "Are you busy? If you continue to be busy, I'm afraid I will be busy getting married in two days."
Seeing that Shen Yinian was still blushing and hesitating, with his head bowed and silent, Shen Qingyi and Shen Jingnian tacitly understood each other and took one of his arms and dragged him back to the room.
"My son's promise is only to be together for the rest of my life, but what I want is to be able to walk side by side with my husband after marriage, instead of succumbing to him and being an unknown housewife.
"..."
She looked at Shen Jingnian's idiotic eyes and silently closed her mouth.
"I think in the future I can still travel around famous mountains and rivers, enjoy thousands of miles of rivers, see the moon in Kunshan, and enjoy the snow of thousands of years. I hope the person I marry will be a wanderer who can walk side by side with me, instead of being imprisoned. It has nothing to do with my shackles or status. What I want from my husband is nothing more than the word 'fairness'.
She hurriedly hid the thing in her hand behind her back, grinned a smile that was uglier than crying, and said, "Brother... you, why are you here?"
Liuying hurriedly stepped forward to save the situation: "Second Young Master, don't get me wrong. In fact, the young lady has come back a long time ago. It's just that the young lady wanted to lose weight, so she ran out again, ran back again, and then ran out again..."
She leaned close to Shen Yinian's ear: "Brother, if you help me avoid this disaster, I will send a message to Sister Yuan and ask her to come to our house to play."
The eldest son Shen Yinian was amused and said: "Little silly girl, the second brother is also worried about you, why don't you quickly apologize to your brother?"
Yuan Wanning seemed to be taken aback. She covered her mouth in shock, her eyes flashing with tears.
"Miss Yuan, are you willing to marry me?"
However, before she could rush out and grab Shen Yinian back, she saw another person running over in a hurry, holding something in his hand and his forehead covered with sweat.
Shen Yinian reached out and picked out a purple wisteria that was in full bloom, and put it on Yuan Wanning's hair with his own hands. He looked at Yuan Wanning's serious and hot eyes, causing Yuan Wanning's face to become stained for no reason. Layers of crimson.
However, before waiting for Yuan Wanning's reply, Shen Qingyi saw two beautiful figures, one pink and one green, like flowers and green leaves, equally beautiful and bright, but Shen Qingyi secretly screamed.
"If Mr. Shen really can do it, Wan Ning will never leave him no matter where he is in the world."
Yuan Wanning seemed to have expected this result, and was not surprised at all. He just sighed indifferently and continued to sit in the corridor and admire the large tracts of wisteria flowers like purple clouds.
As soon as these words came out, the tips of Shen Yinian's ears immediately turned red. He coughed awkwardly and said, "Miss Yuan is very busy. Don't cause trouble to others."
Shen Yinian silently took two steps back. After a while, he suddenly turned and left without saying a word.
"What's going on, three little girls acting like they've made a mistake?"
It was none other than the eldest son Shen Yinian who had returned.
Shen Yinian was very embarrassed, but in the blink of an eye his two younger siblings disappeared.
Two quarters of an hour later, Shen Yinian, who was wearing brand new clothes, was pushed by his two younger siblings to Yuan Wanning, who had just gotten off the carriage.
Then he took the second young master, Shen Jingnian, to rub oil on the soles of his feet.
Shen Qingyi pinched her second brother's hand excitedly. She had no idea that Shen Jingnian was pinched by her so much that her mouth twisted in pain. However, she was afraid of disturbing the atmosphere that had finally settled at this moment, so she had to hold it in her throat and couldn't spit it out. Can't swallow.
"What did you say?"
The four of them stared at each other for a moment. The second brother, Shen Jingnian, was the first to pull his sister up and emerge from the bushes. He forced himself to smile: "Brother, future sister-in-law, I just happened to pass by here after years of waiting. You guys just happened to We didn’t hear anything he said.”
The three masters and servants slipped together like three shrinking ostriches with their heads lowered, and Shen Jingnian took them back to the back garden by their collars.
The young prefect obviously did not expect that Ms. Yuan, who was so tough and tough, would ask such a frank question. He couldn't help but falter a few times in embarrassment. However, when Xu was asked bluntly, his expression relaxed after a while and he spoke openly. He admitted: "...Yes, I have been pleased with Miss Yuan for a long time."
This was the first time that the girl, who had always been graceful and generous, showed her daughter's unique shyness and joy, which added a touch of touching light to her already beautiful face.
Shen Qingyi said: "Sister Yuan's father was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy at that time. Sister Yuan is both civilized and military. Even if you look at the whole of Huai Jing, she is one of the best. If big brother doesn't pay close attention, such a good girl will marry someone else sooner or later. Where will she end up?" At that time, let’s see if you still have the intention to refuse.”
She said: "When the country is peaceful, I can sing and dance; when the country is in turmoil, I can also fight on the battlefield. I can enjoy the snow in the mountains and rivers, ride horses and ride on flowers. I can recite poems and compose poems, play the piano and paint. All the men can do I can do everything, even what men cannot do, I can do it. How can I be trapped in a house and be inferior to men?
"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 that is toyed with.
Shen Qingyi rushed out from behind her and answered: "Second brother is right. If you delay any longer, Sister Yuan will marry someone else sooner or later."
He was panting, but his eyes shone with a very moving light, firm and affectionate, as if Yuan Wanning would be drowned in them in the next moment.
Yuan Wanning suddenly stopped smiling when he heard this.
She secretly thought that she couldn't let the two of them get into trouble, so she winked at the two maids, but they were both confused. The more straightforward Liu Ying put her hands to her mouth and said bluntly: "Miss, your eyes are... Isn’t it uncomfortable?”
"three……!"
His words lowered the atmosphere at the moment even more.
"Second brother and I still have things to do, so let's go first."
Suddenly I heard a very elegant voice coming from deep in the flower gallery.
Behind her was a large area of purple wisteria. She was also dressed in purple and surrounded by them. She looked like a flower god coming to the world. Her tall and slender figure attracted even the clouds of wisteria in a blink of an eye.
Shen Yinian also blushed to the roots of his ears, but still looked at Yuan Wanning firmly.
Her words made everyone present - naturally including Shen Qingyi's brother and sister who were peeping in the corner among the flowers - unable to help but remain silent.
The future sister-in-law has been summoned, and the next two sentences are a perfect cover-up.
Shen Yinian's question made Yuan Wanning bite his lips, and the cheerful look he had just seemed to fade away in an instant, and there was no trace of him anymore.
She hated Tie Bu Cheng Gang and said angrily: "Is the eldest brother crazy? Hasn't he been in love with Miss Yuan for a long time? What Miss Yuan said was not excessive, so why did he run away from the battle and do such a disgraceful thing?"
Yuan Wanning was slightly stunned because of the accident.
"Miss Yuan, let alone traveling around the mountains and rivers, looking at the snow on the mountain tops, admiring the moon in the horizon, even if you want to live on the cliffs, deep in the waves, sleeping in the wind and the open air, I, Shen Yi Nian, will not have a single complaint.
Qing Luo and Liu Ying were sent by Shen Qingyi to pack up the things they bought before returning. Shen Qingyi held Shen Jingnian's hand and before leaving, she did not forget to give Shen Yinian a sly wink and lowered her voice. : "Behave well."
Shen Yinian stuffed everything in his hand into Yuan Wanning's hand and gasped: "This is the gift letter I prepared early in the morning. I also asked Miss Yuan to read it. Is there anything missing that I need to add?" If Miss Yuan is willing, tomorrow she will ask her father and mother to come and propose marriage."
Behind the flower gallery, the only people in the light were Shen Yinian and Yuan Wanning, and in the dark there were only two brothers and sisters, Shen Qingyi. As soon as Liu Ying said these words, the ambiguous atmosphere that had only been tasted was ruthlessly broken. Shen Yinian Both eyes of Yuan Wanning and Shen Jingnian fell on Shen Jingnian in the bushes.
Shen Yinian blushed: "Why, why?"
Shen Qingyi looked over when he heard the sound. When he saw the person coming, he quickly grabbed his arm and hid behind him like a life-saving straw, saying: "Brother, second brother, he bullied me! Beat him up for me."
She seemed to be looking directly at Shen Yinian for the first time, with a completely different seriousness in her eyes than before.
Yuan Wanning heard the words and smiled and said: "Since you like me, why have you been talking about him for so long? Just say it straight, can I still eat you?"
Shen Qingyi refused: "Who wants to apologize to him? I don't want to."
Shen Yinian became anxious when he heard this.
Shen Yinian was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and what he said had no beginning or end. The two chatted for a while, and Miss Yuan put down her flower branches, turned to look at him, and suddenly said bluntly: "You like me? "
Seeing her brother leaving, Shen Qingyi's jaw almost dropped in shock.
"..."
Qing Luo and Liu Ying looked around, probably looking for her. Seeing Liu Ying pointing here, patting Qing Luo and saying something, Shen Qingyi knew that the two maids had obviously seen her in the dark.
"Since the first time I met you in Xiu Duyi, I was seduced by Miss Yuan. At that time, I swore that except Miss Yuan, I would not tolerate anyone else in my eyes.
Her voice was choked and trembling: "Master Shen, you..."
Yuan Wanning was the first to react, and the color on his face suddenly became three points darker. He no longer cared about the others, and immediately turned around and disappeared. Only the Shen brothers and sisters were left looking at each other under the wisteria flowers.
Second Young Master Shen Jingnian raised his eyebrows.
"Brother, what are you doing here watching? Hurry up and catch up, we won't have any sisters-in-law in a while!"
Only then did Shen Yinian slap his head as if waking up from a dream, and chased after him with the gift book in his arms.
