On the day of the Jade Rabbit Festival, it was indeed exceptionally lively.
After Shen Miao had her dinner, Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang hurriedly ran in and said to her, "Young Lady, there are people setting off fireworks in the city. One heard that there will be continuous fireworks tonight and it will be very nice to look at." The anticipation in the words was not concealed at all.
"What is there to panic about?" Gu Yu was combing Shen Miao's hair at the same time as she reprimanded, "One will have to go and see and there is no rush."
Before the words were finished, one could hear Shen Qiu's laughing voice from outside, "Has Younger Sister tidied up? Father and Mother are waiting for us at the front hall. "
"Replying to Eldest Young Master." Jing Zhe replied from outside, "Young Lady's hair is not combed yet. Trouble one to wait a while more."
"How can a young lady's hair be combed for so long?" Shen Qiu muttered, "It is already as long as a soldier's armour." Finishing, he shouted towards the room, "Younger Sister, I will go to the front hall to wait for you. You can come over yourself."
Shen Miao complied through the window. Gu Yu just finished combing her hair and was picking and choosing in the box before finally finding a jade hairpin and inserted it into Shen Miao's hair. Shen Miao swept a glance at the bronze mirror and could not help but be startled, "Why is it this?"
"This servant sees that this hairpin matches well with Young Lady's clothes." Gu Yu smiled, "Moreover this hairpin is exquisitely made but not cumbersome. It is just right to match with today's single spiral hairpin."
Shen Miao could not help but reach out to touch the hairpin on her head. That was the jade Begonia hairpin that Xie Jing Xing gave her. This hairpin was later appraised by Gu Yu and a few others and it was absolutely priceless. Shen Miao originally wanted to return it to Xie Jing Xing but later dropped the thought as she thought that there would be a day where she would be strapped for money and could use it to exchange for some money to spend. But if Xie Jing Xing knew about it, one did not know how angry he would be.
"Does Young Lady feel that this hairpin is not good?" Gu Yu saw Shen Miao's hesitant look and said, "Why not change another one? There are a lot of jewellery that Eldest Young Master sent over from the Palace and most likely one can find some good looking hairpins."
"No need." Shen Miao interrupted her, "One fear that it will take more time to search. Let it be like this." It was just a hairpin, she thought.
Gu Yu helped her to adjust her collar and put on a cloak for her before smiling, "This is good."
"Do not forget the small heater." Jing Zhe stuffed a hand warmer into her hands.
When Shen Miao and entourage reached the main hall, everyone in the Shen residence was already present. Because in previous years it was always the Shen residence that went to the Jade Rabbit Festival together, it was the same this year.
Chen Rou Qiu and Shen Wan were talking. Shen Yue was wearing a light pink twelve tattered fairy long dress and the hem of the dress was swaying. In such cold weather, what she was wearing inside was extremely thin and there was a pink peach coloured embroidered cloak on the outside which was good to look at but useless. Most likely it could not even withstand the wind but she had an extremely satisfied look and when she saw Shen Miao coming, she smiled and called her, "Fifth Younger Sister."
Shen Miao nodded her head at her and turned to look at Shen Gui's side. If one were to say that this year was different from previous years, it would be that Ren Wan Yun and Shen Yuan Bo were not around. In the past it was Ren Wan Yun who took care of Shen Yuan Bo but now Ren Wan Yun had lost her mind and could not go out. Shen Yuan Bo was too young and there were so many kidnappers on the streets so Old Shen Furen wanted Shen Yuan Bo to stay in the residence with her. Shen Yuan stood by Shen Wan's side and behind Shen Wan, Wan YiNiang was holding a young female's hand and that young female was looking over.
This was the Shu daughter of the Second household, Shen Dong Ling.
Shen Dong Ling was wearing an apricot coloured long jacket and most likely it was because of the 'fear of the cold' that she mentioned, that jacket was extremely thick and big but it made her look very thin. Actually looking at it seriously, her facial features were as beautiful as Wan YiNiang but one did not know why her temperament was so light that it was almost invisible. She did not greet Shen Miao and only looked at her silently, one did not know if she was shy or indifferent.
