Forget about Shen Qing but Shen Miao's identity was somewhat subtle. Among the current military officials, only the Marquis of Lin An could be compared to her. But the Marquis of Lin An seemed to be a smart person and other than the Emperor's orders, he would usually defend the capital. Shen Xin would be stationed at the border all year round.
With a father like Shen Xin who held great power, no matter who Shen Miao married, it would mean that the husband's family would be able to get help. The eyes of the Imperial family of Ming Qi were all watching and it was fortunate that the two people who came to propose were civil officials and would not be able to get involved with military officials. Moreover the Wei family and the Huang family's names were pleasant to hear but they were on the path of moderation and temporarily did not get involved in the muddy waters of the fight for the heir apparent. So this marriage, as compared to others, especially the rumour of Shen Miao being in love with Prince Ding, was much smoother.
In Guang Wen Tang, Yi Pei Lan asked Shen Yue, "That Older and Younger Sister of yours, are they really going to marry? They actually did not even come to Guang Wen Tang. "
Ever since Wo Long Temple, Shen Miao and Shen Qing had not left the residence, much less come to Guang Wen Tang. Shen Miao was grounded and Shen Qing needed to recuperate.
Shen Yue smiled, "I also do not know. Mother is mysterious about it. Most likely so."
"But speaking of which, your Older and Younger Sister are rather lucky." Jiang Xiao Xuan thought about it, "Especially Shen Miao. This Gentleman Wei and Gentleman Huang, both of them are not bad. Why did it not fall on your head? "
Shen Yue pretended to be angry, "I still want to stay in the residence for a few more years. I have not thought about marriage." But there was a knot in her heart. Indeed, at their age, they would definitely start to care about their own marriage. But in the Shen residence, Shen Miao was younger than her by two years and now that they were engaged, she was left behind. Forget about Shen Qing as she was a person whose body was spoiled but when she knew that Shen Miao might be able to find a good home, Shen Yue's heart was filled with unspeakable jealousy.
Most likely she could not bear to see Shen Miao doing well, especially Shen Miao who was not as good as her in every aspect. Now that there was a family like the Wei family who took the initiative to propose marriage, it meant that Shen Miao herself was not bad. If it was not for Chen Rou Qiu persuading her, one fear that Shen Yue would continue to drill into this bull's horn and refuse to come out.
"You, you." Bai Wei tapped her forehead. "You are in the prime of your life. Of course, you have to plan for yourself. So," she pointed her chin to the other side, "what do you think of him?"
She was talking about Cai Lin. Shen Yue followed Bai Wei's line of sight, and Cai Lin felt Shen Yue's gaze. He turned his head and froze for a moment, then awkwardly avoided it.
Shen Yue's eyes suddenly turned red as she bit her lower lips tightly.
The youth who was previously infatuated with her was now avoiding her like a snake or scorpion. For such an arrogant person like Shen Yue, she naturally felt a great humiliation.
Cai Lin avoided Shen Yue's accusing gaze and his heart was somewhat worried. Ever since he was taught a lesson by Shen Miao in the academy examinations, he would feel an unknown fear whenever he saw Shen Miao. It was as if it was a natural fear of danger that made him want to avoid Shen Miao, moreover that day Xie Jing Xing seemed to have helped Shen Miao out of trouble. Cai Lin was considered an overlord in the Ding capital, but he could not overpower Xie Jing Xing, so naturally he would not take the initiative to go against Xie Jing Xing. No matter if Xie Jing Xing's help that day was intentional or not, Cai Lin would not take the initiative to provoke Shen Miao.
And on that day, Shen Yue did not even look at him once from beginning to end, which made this youth's blazing heart to completely cool down.
Seeing Shen Yue's awkwardness, Yi Pei Lan pursed her lips and diverted the topic, "But in another half a month, it will be your family's Old Furen's birthday. One think that I should go and pick some gifts."
Old Shen Furen's birthday every year would be incomparably glorious. This kind of extravagance could even be compared to the Imperial family. Old Shen Furen's eyesight was shallow and felt that the grander the birthday, the more radiance there would be. Every year many officials would be invited over, so Shen Gui and Shen Wan were naturally happy to see it happen. This way, they would have a better relationship with their colleagues.
