The sky was getting dark, so there was no need to delay any longer, so Liu's mother accompanied Shu Yao to Gantang Courtyard.
There was some expectation in Shu Yao's heart. It was impossible for Shen Junzhuo not to appear on such a day. What kind of robe would he wear? What kind of expression would he have when he saw her? Will she be as cold as when she saw him for the first time, or as cold as before?
So gentle afterwards?
She was a little apprehensive, but also a little excited. Mixed with this mood, she entered Gantang Courtyard.
Today in Gantang Courtyard was indeed different from the past. There were many people. The largest open room was full, with one row of female relatives and one row of male guests. When she entered, there were still many people who had not sat down. Taking advantage of the chaos,
She found Yuyao's side. There happened to be an empty seat next to her, so Shu Yao sat down.
As soon as she sat down, Yuyao pulled her, sniffed, and said in a low voice:
"Are you here too?"
Shu Yao felt her hand was cold, shook it, nodded and said:
"Didn't your mother bring you a hand stove? Why are your hands so cold?"
Yuyao held her forehead and said:
"Why not? I came early and the hand stove has already cooled down. It's hard to call them to change the carbon for me right now. It doesn't matter, just leave it as it is. You don't know, this banquet is hard to come by. That door is
With the door open like this, the drinks and dishes will be cold, so what’s the point of eating? By the way, did you take a nap before coming here?"
Is this really the case? Usually when she was at home, the Li family was not considered a big family in Yongzhou. During the Chinese New Year, they just got together as a family. The population was not large, more than a dozen people, but they were quite lively together. She never felt that
It's hard. But it's really cold sitting here. The draft is blowing through the hall, and I'm freezing after just sitting down for a while.
She really had never used anything before she came here. She had never thought about this since her sister followed Shen Yan last year and was well taken care of. Shu Yao shook her head, stuffed her hand stove into Yu Yao's arms, and said:
"I'm not hungry. I don't use much food at night. You take this first and cover it."
Yuyao declined, but she felt uncomfortable with the cold and hugged her.
There were more and more people. Mrs. Yu suddenly saw Shu Yao and waved her hand to let her pass. As soon as she walked over, Mrs. Yu took her hand, greeted her for a while, and asked her if she missed home. What was wrong with her?
You can say whatever you want to eat, and we chatted for a while. Some people were curious and asked people around them who this girl was. Mrs. Yu heard this and said cheerfully:
"You don't know, this is Brother Yan's daughter-in-law's sister. She has just come to the capital not long ago. She has the same personality as our own girls. It's really good!" Obviously she wants to grow up Shuya in front of so many relatives.
face.
Everyone joined in the fun and laughed:
"You're so rude, old lady. How can you praise your own girl so much? In my opinion, this Miss Li Er is even more outstanding than our girl!"
Everyone laughed and joked a few more times, and Mrs. Yu let Shu Yao go back to her seat. Just at this time, Shen Junzhuo walked in from the outside, wearing a black robe with a gold-threaded auspicious cloud pattern embroidered on the collar.
, wearing a belt of the same color around his waist, also embroidered with dark patterns with gold thread. As soon as he entered the door, he attracted the attention of the entire room.
Shu Yao looked at him with a white jade-like face, finely carved eyebrows, and long ink-like hair. She had an air of grace, but her whole body still exuded an icy aura, cold and majestic.
Except for the Duke and the old lady, everyone in the room stood up and bowed. Shu Yao also followed suit. When she raised her head, she suddenly found that his eyes were looking at her, and her eyes met.
At the moment of the collision, she seemed to see something melting in his eyes. The clear look in his eyes shocked her, her heart beat heavily, and her face felt a little hot. She quickly lowered her head again, her heart suddenly felt
A hint of sweetness spread throughout her body, and she jumped for joy and cheered. She pursed her lips and smiled softly, but she didn't dare to look up again.
