Everything was calm and peaceful in Uncle Dong Ning's house.
After Shen Qing identified Yun Wan as an assassin, Yun Wan can now appear openly and openly in Dong Ning Bo's house. Except that his face is often veiled, he is no different from the maid in the house.
The wound on Shen Yumin's forehead has healed a lot under the doctor's careful treatment. Whenever Aunt Su comes to visit Shen Yumin, she can't help but hold Shen Yumin in her arms and cry softly. She feels sorry for Shen Yumin and feels bad for her. Herself.
The old lady also heard a little about what happened before. After knowing that Shen Qing was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her eldest grandson, so she only let Shen Qing kneel for one day before getting up.
Shen Fengxu didn't say anything.
Just wait three days for Bailu Academy to release the results.
On the day when the results were released, some people were happy and some were sad.
The three girls of the Shen family, Shen Yuxiang, Shen Yujia and Shen Fengxu, can all enroll in school.
As expected, the first place in the entrance exam this time was the well-known second eldest daughter, Gu Xiangning.
When the eldest daughter won the first prize, Gu Cifu was overjoyed and invited the nobles from the capital to a banquet.
Dongning Bofu naturally also received the post about this wedding banquet.
On the day of the wedding banquet, after Shen Fengxu dressed up, she got into the carriage with Shen Baitang and headed to Gu Cifu's house.
Previously, Shen Yulou naturally showed tender concern to his eldest sister and wanted to attend the wedding banquet with Shen Fengxu and Shen Baitang, but was coldly rejected by Shen Baitang.
She doesn't want to be with Shen Yulou.
Shen Fengxu intended to take Shen Yumin with him, but Shen Yumin was unwilling anyway, so Shen Fengxu had no choice but to give up.
When the carriage arrived outside Gu's residence, Shen Baitang and Shen Fengxu got off the carriage one after another.
Numerous luxurious carriages have been parked in front of the Gu Mansion. I guess there are quite a few people coming to attend the wedding banquet today.
There was a servant in front of the door leading the way, and he led Shen Fengxu and Shen Baitang all the way through the rockery and stone forest in the mansion, straight to the flower hall.
Along the way, we saw the pavilions and pavilions in the garden, surrounded by whitewashed walls, rockery and stone forest, with moss spots and vines leading to them. It was a pleasant and lively scenery. There were also many flowers blooming in the light. The flowers swayed in the wind, and occasionally one or two fell onto the surface of the pond, drifting farther and farther along the direction of the water flow.
When the two sisters walked into the flower hall, many dignitaries from the capital were already sitting there.
Everyone had smiles on their faces and seemed to sincerely congratulate Mrs. Gu.
"Congratulations, madam! Congratulations, madam!"
"It is really enviable for others to have a daughter like this."
"Miss Xiang Ning is very talented. If my Fuyun is half as talented as Miss Xiang Ning, I would be satisfied."
Facing the praises from others, Mrs. Gu only had a slight smile on her face, neither overly arrogant nor rude: "Everyone is overly complimentary. Xiang Ning won the first place this time. It's just good luck. If If we do it again, it may not be the first place."
Suddenly someone asked: "Where is Miss Xiang Ning?"
Yes, today is a wedding banquet for Gu Xiangning, how can we not see Gu Xiangning?
The expression on Mrs. Gu's face froze slightly, but she soon put on a smile and said, "Xiang Ning was dressing up and changing clothes before, and was about to come. I don't want my clothes to be stained by an ignorant girl. Now I'm still here Changing clothes."
After saying that, Mrs. Gu turned around and ordered: "Go and invite the girl."
Chen Fengxu had a panoramic view of the scene in front of him, but secretly thought about it in his heart.
Gu Xiangning, whether in her previous life or in this life, was the first in the White Deer Academy exams. Her fame came entirely from her own outstanding literary talent, but she herself seemed to be lost in the crowd, even though she was standing there Among the crowd, she was extremely low-key and quiet. If she hadn't been specifically looking for her, she might not have been noticed at all.
Her appearance is plain, the kind that you can forget just by looking at her and turning around, and her temperament is also mediocre. Even if you think about it carefully, you can't think of any words that can be used to describe her.
But it is such a person that a few lines of poems written by his own hand can be widely circulated. Anyone who reads one or two words will be infected by the solemn character between the lines.
In his previous life, even though Gu Xiangning had a great reputation in poetry and calligraphy, he was always outclassed by Shen Yulou. However, Gu Xiangning himself seemed not to care about this and remained as indifferent as ever.
However, such a girl passed away quietly at her blooming age.
As unknown as he was in life, even after death, only a few people care about him.
Even some people who are still reading Gu Xiangning's poems are not aware of Gu Xiangning's death.
Little did she know that Gu Xiangning died in a foot of white silk hanging by her own hands.
She hanged herself.
At the age of only seventeen, he hanged himself.
In the end, nothing was left except a full volume of poems.
It didn't even leave anything in the memory of others.
A maid led the visitors to sit down in the flower hall, served fruit tea and drinks, and walked through the flower hall, serving people who came and went.
Not long after, as the protagonist of this wedding banquet, Gu Xiangning walked slowly towards the flower hall.
It was probably because the light on his body was too dim. Even when Gu Xiangning walked into the flower hall, no one noticed Gu Xiangning's presence. Gu Xiangning just found a remote place in the flower hall and sat down, without saying a word from beginning to end. .
At this moment, another figure, like a blooming peony, stepped into the flower hall and attracted the attention of everyone present.
It is Shen Yulou.
She was dressed in a peach red skirt, with gorgeous and complicated clothes, her hair on her temples was like clouds, her silk hair was like silk, her eyebrows were as curved as willow leaves, her eyes were filled with stars, and she was looking forward to them. She was walking towards the flower hall with lotus steps. With a faint smile that seems to be there but not at all, it is naturally as bright as a flower and jade, bright and moving.
After a moment of silence, someone suddenly started talking.
"Is that the girl from Yulou in Dongningbo Mansion?"
“It’s really a beautiful country, so beautiful that it’s beyond compare!”
"Like a beauty coming out of a painting..."
Everyone present, both men and women, all had their eyes fixed on Shen Yulou and couldn't take their eyes away.
In response to this, Shen Yulou just smiled indifferently and said softly: "Yulou has met you all."
As he spoke, he bowed slightly with his hands folded, his movements dignified and graceful, not losing his manners, but also carrying the gentle aura of a woman.
At this moment, no one noticed Gu Xiangning, and no one even asked where Gu Xiangning was.
Shen Yulou, on the other hand, accepted everyone's gazes on her as a matter of course, with a decent and gentle smile on her face.
Even the eldest lady and Shen Yuxiang who were beside Shen Yulou seemed to have been forgotten.
