For this kind of birthday celebration, naturally a gift must be received. One think that Yi Pei Lan and the rest would be present at the birthday celebration next month, after all at this time of the year, all the better officials in Ming Qi would be invited by the Shen family.
"Yes." Bai Wei seemed to remember, "I almost forgot about this matter. Luckily Pei Lan reminded me. Yue-er, what gift did you prepare for Old Shen Furen?"
As a talented female in the capital, Shen Yue would naturally give Old Shen Furen face at the birthday banquet every year. If one were to say that what Shen Qing took out was expensive, then what Shen Yue took out was unique and exquisite. Only Shen Miao would always give something that made one laugh till their teeth fell off.
"It is only embroidered a portrait." Shen Yue said modestly.
"Now that you mention it, I start to be curious." Jiang Xiao Xuan said nastily, "Then what would that Fifth Younger Sister of yours give? Could it be that she was busy embroidering the wedding dress and completely forgot about Old Furen's birthday gift? "
When Feng An Ning who was lying on the table heard it, she coldly snorted and got up to leave the table.
Yi Pei Lan and the rest's words also fell into the ears of Pei Lang who was tidying up the things on the stage. These days, he naturally heard the news of Shen Miao's engagement but had a strange feeling. That young female's eyes were like a beast's. To let her hide in the inner courtyard so early, would she know?
At the same time, the object of everyone's discussion, Shen Miao, was arranging the chess pieces in front of her in the ancestral hall.
The wind in the ancestral hall was cold and the floor was made of greenish grey stone slabs. When one kneeled down, one would be able to feel the chill in the seams of one's kneecap. Jing Zhe and Gu Yu had brought some soft cushions, but those cushions did not have any effect. It was Shen Miao who instructed them to boil some herbs and place them in the corners of the room. With a little smoke, it would be able to drive away the cold and prevent the body from getting sick.
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu initially did not believe it but after seeing that the herbal soup was really effective, they even asked Shen Miao where did she get this secret recipe from. Shen Miao only said that she heard it from others but she herself knew that it was something that she learnt during her years as a hostage in the Qin country. The weather was too cold and there was not enough money, so one could only find the cheapest method to warm up and get rid of the moisture in one's body. Now the things in the ancestral hall were really nothing.
"Young Lady still care about playing chess." Jing Zhe stomped her feet.
Shen Miao arranged the chess pieces in front of her in a straight line. On the chessboard, the originally well-arranged chess pieces were arranged so that the black was black and the white was white, and there was no order to it.
"Chun Tao had Mo Qing bring the message over. Jing Zhe saw that Shen Miao did not speak and continued, "Second Furen want to change the marriage between you and Eldest Young Lady. That Young Master of the Huang family is a cut sleeve so what can be done? How can Young Lady still have the mood to play chess?"
One thought of of it was a good marriage but of Shen of Shen of Shen of of rejected Old Old and was in Shen Shen's proposal in of of Yao. But even if it was like this, Chun Tao still found out that the Shen family had already agreed to this marriage behind Shen Miao's back. It was just that the people in the Western courtyard did not know about it, which meant that other than Shen Miao, everyone knew that Shen Miao was going to marry.
If she married She married, it would be, she Qian would be. Shen. married. Yi. Shen of. of. of. "Shen Shen Shen of the Shen of Shen of. When the few maids heard this, they almost went crazy. Mo Qing also said that if Shen Miao was willing, he could bring Shen Miao to escape.
Mo Qing was previously a person of the pugilistic world and naturally did not know that it was easy to escape. Once one escaped, it meant that the matters behind could be fabricated and no one would know the truth. Moreover Shen Miao did not have any intention to escape from the start, thus she flatly rejected the words.
"If it is not possible, at least let Mo Qing help Young Lady to bring the message to Master. This matter is also hidden from Master. They want to take advantage of Master not return to the capital to let Young Lady get married. Like this, the rice is cooked and nothing can be changed." Gu Yu also advised. She knew that Shen Miao had her own ideas but since she did not say anything, the few of them maids could only worry for Shen Miao.
