Everyone else was a little scared, but Shen Yujia was not.
She even boldly walked forward, bent down and looked at the insects on the ground, and said, "Aren't you afraid of these?"
The little bugs on the ground were originally spinning in circles, but when Shen Yujia approached, they fled in all directions, or burrowed into the soil, or crawled into the rockery, and in short, they all disappeared before everyone's eyes.
Shen Yujia suddenly felt a little disappointed.
Seeing someone coming, Aunt Yun was a little surprised. She quickly put her hands back into her sleeves, lowered her head slightly and said, "I have nothing to do. I think these bugs are interesting, so I just came to take a look."
The insects crawling on the ground are strange in appearance, bright in color, and not common.
But Shen Fengxu has seen it before.
"What kind of bugs are these? Does Auntie know?" Shen Fengxu asked with a gentle smile.
Aunt Yun buried her head lower: "These are fluorescent silkworms."
"Fluorescent silkworms? I think I've heard of them." Shen Fengxu pointedly said, "I heard that some people put these bugs in their purses, bury them under potted plants, and then give the potted plants away. I don't know. right?"
Aunt Yun's heart suddenly tightened, she subconsciously closed her sleeves, but her face remained calm, she just smiled and said: "Where did you hear about this, girl? I don't even know this, but this Yingsi silkworm The color is beautiful, so I paid more attention to it."
Shen Yuning came over curiously: "Silkworms? Aren't they the kind of bugs that spin silk and make cocoons? Are these shiny bugs also silkworms?"
Aunt Yun lowered her head and remained silent.
Shen Baitang also asked: "I just saw that these fluorescent silkworms seemed to be crawling around the place pointed by my aunt. What can I do?"
"I...I don't know, but I am also curious, so I watched here for a long time." Aunt Yun's face was a little pale, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak, but in the end she remained silent and lowered her head silently.
Aunt Yun has always been taciturn, and everyone is used to it.
Shen Yulou then smiled and said: "Okay, it's already so late. Don't bother Aunt Yun with questions. Let Aunt Yun go back and rest early."
With Shen Yulou's words, Aunt Yun breathed a sigh of relief, gathered her skirt and saluted: "I take my leave."
After that, he stood up and left.
After Aunt Yun left, the sisters chatted and laughed for a while, but as dusk fell, they dispersed.
Shen Yujia's birthday was spent peacefully and warmly.
…
Seven days later, it will be Shen Fengxu's birthday, but Shen Yanning is not Shen Yanping, so naturally he doesn't have those thoughts.
In the Rongxue Courtyard, Shen Baitang, Shen Fengxu, Shen Yumin and Aunt Su were dining together.
Originally, Aunt Su would not come, but if Aunt Su was not here, Shen Yumin would not be able to eat, so during this period, Aunt Su often came to visit Shen Yumin in the Rongxue Courtyard.
Because it was Shen Fengxu's birthday, the table was filled with delicacies, including golden boiled jade, rouge goose breast, sour bamboo shoots and duck soup, honey-stuffed cockroaches, wine-stewed duck, ham-braised elbow... The dishes had already been served. When it was served on the table, it just looked sweet and delicious, making the gluttons in people's stomachs scream.
Shen Baitang tasted the chopsticks and was full of praise: "I don't know any cook in the kitchen who has such skills. I must reward them well."
Chen Fengxu smiled and said: "Cinsha, did you hear that? The second sister wants to reward you."
"Is it cinnabar?" Shen Baitang turned to look at her, with a smile blooming like a flower, "You are really ingenious."
"Second Miss, you are overly praised." Chen Sha said softly and modestly.
Aunt Su held Shen Yumin in her arms, and thoughtfully and carefully picked out the bones, and then fed them to Shen Yumin. After hearing this, she also smiled and said: "I am really lucky, and I can only live in the sixth girl's yard." , to be able to eat such good food.”
Chen Fengxu responded with a smile.
"By the way, for your birthday this time, others also sent you a lot of congratulatory gifts, right?" Shen Baitang smiled and asked.
Chen Fengxu nodded: "Yes, yes, but there are gold, silver, pearls and jade on the left and right, so there's nothing worth paying attention to."
The same was true for Shen Yujia's birthday a few days ago. In addition to the girls in the family, the only ones who sent congratulatory gifts were the girls from Beijing who had some friendship with her.
But as soon as Shen Fengxu finished speaking, Qingya walked in from the door, holding a nanmu box in his arms.
She walked quickly to Shen Fengxu and said, "Girl, this is a congratulatory gift from Prince Ning's Mansion."
One sentence almost made the chopsticks in Shen Fengxu's hand fall to the ground.
But her face remained calm and calm, and she said: "Well, just put it there."
Shen Baitang was also slightly surprised: "Prince Ning's Mansion?!"
The birthday of the girl in the house is not an important day, not to mention that Shen Fengxu's birthday is only 12 years old, and it is not the age of hairpin. Why does Prince Ning's house care about Shen Fengxu? And Dong Ningbo's house has never He had any friendship with Prince Ning's Mansion, and even if he had some friendship, he would not send a congratulatory gift to Shen Fengxu.
Qingya placed the gift on the table aside and left the room.
Shen Baitang blinked and asked, "Why did Prince Ning's Mansion send a congratulatory gift?"
"This...I don't know either." Shen Fengxu said very innocently, but he already knew it in his heart.
I think it's clear.
"I thought that Princess Shunning had given the fourth girl an apricot blossom hairpin as a gift on her birthday, which was already very honorable. I didn't want the sixth girl to get a gift from Prince Ning's Mansion." Aunt Su said with a smile, "There is Prince Ning's Mansion. As a congratulatory gift, the hosta given to the fourth girl is nothing."
The eldest princess Shun Ning had a close friendship with the eldest lady, so she gave Shen Yuxiang an apricot flower hairpin on her last birthday. Shen Yuxiang often wore it on her head to show her uniqueness.
But no one has ever heard of Shen Fengxu's relationship with Prince Ning's Mansion. As a twelve-year-old girl, she would be envious of others if she could receive a gift from Prince Ning's Mansion.
But Chen Fengxu shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's better not to show off."
She was a girl from an uncle's house, with no background or reputation. She was not worth mentioning among the many noble ladies in the capital.
After Chen Fengxu said this, others stopped asking any more questions.
She glanced at the nanmu box, pondered for a moment, and said: "By the way, Second Sister, I want to go to the bookstore for a while. Will Second Sister come with me?"
"Of course that's good." Shen Baitang said, "I just want to go to the bookstore too."
Chen Fengxu nodded and turned to look at Cinsha: "You can stay at the house to rest today and let Cinsha go out with me."
Dansha was startled: "Girl, won't you take me out?"
In the past, she only stayed with Shen Fengxu. Chensha never liked to talk, so she was worried about letting her stay with Shen Fengxu.
"Well, someone else may be sending congratulatory gifts later. You can help Qingya and Huaqing prepare some."
