"But that's for my younger sister!" Shen Qiu hurriedly said.
"Forget it." Shen Xin waved his hand, "Have you ever seen your sister like that kind of brocade?"
Even if Shen Xin did not know about the vulgar things of females, he knew that this daughter of his did not like those elegant materials and only liked to wear gold and silver, the more vulgar the better. Even though he was helpless, he could only let Shen Miao be happy. Even though the Tian Si Brocade was beautiful, it did not mean that Shen Miao would appreciate it.
When Shen Qiu heard this, he felt that his father's words were reasonable. He lowered his head and squatted down before saying softly, "This time I came back in a hurry and did not bring any gifts for Younger Sister. Thinking about it, I feel guilty."
In fact, Shen Qiu and Shen Miao had a very good relationship in the past. The two siblings supported each other and lived happily. But afterwards Shen Qiu would follow Shen Xin to war every year and would only see Shen Miao once a year. Afterwards Shen Miao's temperament worsened year by year and the siblings almost had nothing to say. No matter how Shen Qiu tried to get close to this younger sister, Shen Miao would always treat him lukewarmly.
Shen Qiu did not know the reason but Shen Miao knew. Actually it was Shen Yue and Shen Qing, as well as Gui Momo who indirectly reminded Shen Xin and wife that they only brought Shen Qiu by their side. It was obvious that they valued males more than females. Sons were able to carry on the family line so they valued them more and did not value their daughters as much. Shen Miao was still young and was easily affected by a few words. Looking at this older brother again, she naturally felt that he had snatched away all the love and care from her parents and was very hateful, so she was not willing to be close to him.
"Forget it." Shen Xin patted the dust off his body and stood up, "Tell those brothers to get up and continue on the journey. One must return to the Ding capital after an hour."
…
As time passed, the Shen residence's birthday banquet was about to begin. All the Furens and Young Ladies were already seated and there were more than ten tables. Old Shen Furen's reputation was big enough that with this kind of extravagance, all the official's Furens in the Ding capital who had a little bit of rank were here. Of course, the reason why everyone came to this banquet was not because of Old Shen Furen's face but because of Shen Xin's reputation. Even so, the birthday banquet was still lively, just like in previous years.
Shen Yue was wearing a hundred pleated Ruyi moon dress and the moon white colour made her look extremely gentle and quiet. She was originally delicate and pretty and after specially dressing up today, she naturally had the intention of having a daughter in her family who had just matured. Now that Shen Qing and Shen Miao already had families, the Furens present all had their own thoughts when they saw Shen Yue. Naturally they were planning to marry the Second Young Lady of the Third household into the residence and how much benefits they could reap.
After the male guests had delivered their gifts, they were all on the other side, accompanied by the two brothers Shen Gui and Shen Wan. Shen Gui and Shen Wan naturally wouldn't give up on this chance to win over people's hearts. They chatted and laughed, making it very lively.
Old Master Su held his wine cup and felt a headache in his heart. His family had a good relationship with the residence of the Marquis of Lin An and the Shen family and Xie family had always been at odds, but the Shen family sent him an invitation. Master Su was a good person. Since they sent an invitation, he couldn't just reject it. He could only bite the bullet and participate. In his heart, however, he was somewhat envious of his eldest son who was' bedridden '. At least he didn't have to watch this group of old foxes with ulterior motives toasting each other and testing each other.
"Father." Su Ming Lang blinked his eyes. Today he was also dressed up by his mother but even so, he looked like a very well-dressed dumpling. He pulled Master Su's sleeves, "I want to go out for a walk."
"Don't run around." Master Su warned. Even though the eldest son did not participate, the youngest son who had never been interested in these things was clamoring to participate and Master Su did not know why. But Su Ming Lang made a big fuss and Su Furen agreed so Master Su could only bring along this little burden.
