Fengqi Jingshi

Chapter 69 The Moon is Round (4)

In the blink of an eye, it was the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and because the officials wanted to hold a Lantern Festival this year to show peace and prosperity, the country was safe and the people were safe, the entire capital had already had a festive atmosphere.There was that impatient child who pestered the adults to buy lanterns in advance, and hung them up before the day came.

In Maoguo Gong's mansion, apart from the Magnolia Courtyard, there is also a festive atmosphere.Yuyao and the others were very happy when they found out that they could arrange for them to go outside to look at the lanterns. They asked their maids to prepare the clothes and jewelry they would wear when they went out that day. After breakfast, they sat in Mrs. Yu's room together There were lively discussions about when to go out, where to go, and when to come back.

Shu Yao sat next to them, looked at them with a smile on her face, and didn't participate in their conversation.Compared with what she can see tomorrow, she seems to care more about being able to be with Shen Junzhuo.

According to Mrs. Jiang's wishes, the Yuyao sisters are all girls from the West Mansion. If they want to go out to watch the lanterns, the West Mansion will arrange maids and servants to protect them. The kindness of the East Mansion is justified.

She was arranged to go out with Yuyao and the others. The arrangement was reasonable and there was nothing to be picky about.She would also like to thank Mrs. Jiang for thinking of her in everything and treating her exactly like the young lady in the house.Even so, she still had some expectations in her heart, hoping that the person who would accompany her that day would be him.

It's rare that Shen Yu is very quiet these days and hasn't looked for her again.She originally wanted to apologize to him for breaking the appointment that day, but she didn't expect that he would take the initiative to avoid her when he saw her.Shu Yao felt that it was her obvious indifference that made him stop paying attention to herself.It's just that sometimes when I turn around, I can see him looking at me again, before meeting her gaze, I hurriedly looked away as if frightened.

I feel a little sorry for him in my heart, but I know that I can never give him some affection. Rather than being ignorant to him, it is better to be so clear. I always feel that this is the best way for him and myself.With the decision, he will no longer take his gazes to heart, and treat them as if they did not see them.

Yuyao was more kind to her, calling her to drink tea, have some snacks, and make her a handkerchief from time to time, which meant frequent visits.She did not refuse her kindness, and the two got along easily and casually, and gradually Shu Yao relaxed her guard against everyone in the West Mansion.

Conceited inside, Mother Jia quickly stepped into the room where Madam Jiang was, and seeing Madam Jiang trimming an orchid with scissors, she came up behind her softly and called Madam in a low voice.

Mrs. Jiang glanced back at her, waved her hand, and sent everyone out of the room before asking:
"How's it going?"

Mother Jia pinched her sleeves and said:

"It's all arranged. I found someone from other places who doesn't know me, so I can't find us anyway."

Madam Jiang put down the scissors, turned around and picked up the beads, twisted them in her hands for a while, and then said:
"Amitabha, it's not that I'm going to harm her, it's that she's going to delay my son! Look at Brother Yu's ecstasy these days, even if he didn't talk to that foxy girl, his eyes are as if they are glued to her body! I am his mother, can I still harm him? Thinking about how I gave birth to him in ten months of pregnancy, I would do all these evils for him, I only hope that he can understand my painstaking efforts in the future..."

Mother Jia stood aside for a while and said slowly:

"Madam, don't worry. Brother is still young and not sensible. One day he will know Madam's sincerity."

Madam Jiang sighed, turned around and sat down on the couch, and rubbed her forehead with her hands, feeling very tired all over and unable to cheer up.Mama Jia called someone to bring a bowl of bird's nest, and Madam Jiang put down the spoon after taking a few mouthfuls.

Seeing her like this, Mother Jia asked her softly:

"Can you still smoke a moxa?"

Madam Jiang closed her eyes, lifted her eyelids, and nodded slightly.Mother Jia went outside to fetch a moxa, lit it, and smoked it carefully on her temples.
