She heard him say to everyone: "Today's family dinner, please don't go out, just feel free to do whatever you want." The voice was cold and cold, just like the cold temperature in the room, and it was also consistent with the way she saw him for the first time. Up.
There was a rustling sound of clothing fabrics rustling in the room. I think everyone stood up after saluting, but they didn't hear a single voice. Sure enough, she was not the only one who was afraid of him. Look, all the relatives in the room were like this. Afraid of him, Shu Yao thought to herself.
Suddenly a voice broke the silence:
"Now that everyone is here, let's prepare the food!"
After hearing this, the people in the room came to life again. The servants hurried in and out, and exquisite dishes were served in front of everyone like a flowing stream. Shu Yao remembered this voice. She heard it on the day Shen Yan was buried. , it is the voice of the Duke of Guo.
The atmosphere got better, and some people gradually began to chat enthusiastically, and there were loud voices all around again. Shu Yao looked around her, and saw that they were all teenage girls, all sitting upright, with their heads bowed. Looking at the dishes in front of them, some picked up a shredded dish with chopsticks, and some took soup with spoons, but none of them said anything.
Yuyao sat closest to her, but she didn't eat anything. She just sat upright, her face was a little pale, her eyelids were drooped, and she was a little swaying. Shu Yao saw that she was a little abnormal, and quietly asked:
"But sleepy?"
Yuyao was excited, shook her head hurriedly, pinched her forehead, and whispered:
"No, I just have a severe headache."
Shu Yao couldn't help but reach out to touch her forehead, so he pulled her wrist across a few cases and touched her. This touch shocked her heart. Yuyao's pulse was loose and tight, which was obviously due to the cold entering the body and turning around. Fortunately, she has a good foundation. It doesn't matter if she turns from a cold to a fever, as long as she gets rid of the fever as soon as possible.
Looking at her appearance, she was probably suffering from a severe fever at the moment. Shu Yao wanted to persuade her to leave the table and go back, but she couldn't say anything in front of everyone.
Not long after, the dishes were served and the banquet began.
As Yuyao said, the dishes were all cold. The soup was still a little hot when it was served, but it cooled down after a while. The atmosphere at the table gradually became lively. Some people raised their glasses, and some people raised their glasses. Congratulations and toasts were exchanged. The male guests mainly surrounded the Duke of Guo and Shen Junzhuo, while the female guests surrounded Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Jiang.
On the girls' side, there were only a few older ladies left. They gathered together and chatted in low voices, and did not join in the excitement over Mrs. Yu. The girls also began to gather together in twos and threes, chatting and laughing in low voices. Shu Yao was feeling bored when she suddenly saw Yuyao and other sisters standing up. She turned around and saw that Shen Yu was coming.
Behind him was the familiar boy, holding a stack of ebony boxes in his arms. The boxes were long and all looked the same.
Shen Yu met with everyone and said:
"A few days ago, my teacher taught me how to make pens. I made a few wolf brushes. I thought that my sisters have limited wrist strength, so wolf brushes would be perfect, so I gave them to everyone. It's a little thought, and I hope the sisters don't dislike it. ."
The Yuyao sisters were a little flattered. Shen Yu was Mrs. Jiang's favorite and had always been held in high esteem. They, the concubines, were very far away from him. They were really surprised to suddenly receive his gift today. It was very popular. Several people hurriedly thanked me and expressed how they could dislike it. They would definitely practice calligraphy more diligently after returning home.
Shen Yu took the box from the boy's hand and handed it to them one by one. Shu Yao wanted to pretend not to know, so she didn't get up and remained sitting. But suddenly she noticed that many eyes were on her. When she looked up, She found Shen Yu in front of her.
She had to stand up. With a faint smile on her face, Shen Yu took the box from the boy and handed it to her. However, when Shu Yao took it, Shen Yu did not let go immediately.
The anger in Shu Yao's heart suddenly rose. What does this mean, give it or not give it? I don't want it at all. It would be fine if I didn't want to give it back. Just when she was about to let go, Shen Yu withdrew his hand and walked away from her at the same time. Missed it, for a moment he was very close to her ears, and she heard him say in her ears:
"Tomorrow, I'll be waiting for you at Yunshu Pavilion."
