After breaking off the marriage, the Zhuangyuan Lang who was picked up was dressed weakly every day

Chapter 2 Breaking with Father
There was pouring rain, lightning and thunder. Sometimes the sky and the earth were bright, but more often it was dark.

Shen Yanhan returned to his house, shivering with cold despite the rain.

Because she was anxious to see her father, Shen Guci, she did not go back to her house. Instead, she hurried towards the main house.

It was the end of the unitary hour, and the "Fu Yuexuan" in the main courtyard of Shen Mansion was full of lights. When the female maids were exiting the house one after another carrying cups and plates filled with leftovers, Shen Yanhan passed by them and placed a pile of leftovers on them. In the voice of "big girl", she raised her foot and entered the door.

In the house, Shen Gu Ci, Shen Gu Ci's step-mother Feng Rong, the second daughter of the Shen family Shen Hui, and Shen Xiaolang Jun Shen Yu were sitting around a table. The warm yellow candlelight illuminated their faces. Wen Rong was stuffing candies into Shen Hui and Shen Yu's mouths in turn. Son, Shen Yu had red syrup sticking to his mouth. Shen Hui looked at him with teasing eyes, while Shen Guyi looked at mother and son while sipping tea.

No matter how dark it is outside, the atmosphere inside is still pleasant.

Seeing this familiar and warm scene, Wang Qiong's words lingered in his ears again. Even though Shen Yanhan had never been a picky person, at this moment, there was still a sudden thorn in his heart, and his eyes were slightly hot.

There was no moment that made her realize more deeply than this moment that many things had changed subtly in the three years since her mother Qi Yun passed away.

For example, in this "Fu Yuexuan", the person who lives now has changed from her biological mother to her father's concubine; the one who laughs and plays here all day long is not her, but her younger brothers and sisters. ; All the female envoys she was familiar with have returned home, and the people serving her "parents" here are all new faces; even the pomegranate tree that she and Qi Yun planted in the courtyard has also returned. It was replaced by a golden osmanthus plant, which has been fragrant recently...

Shen Yanhan felt that her appearance here in a state of embarrassment was incompatible with the scenery in front of her, and it felt a bit awkward as an outsider forcefully intruding into someone else's private territory.

She is the redundant one.

Wen Rong was the first to notice Shen Yanhan's arrival. She put down the candy in her hand, stood up quickly, stepped forward and said in a warm and caring voice: "What's wrong with the girl? Why are you so wet? I'll get you a handkerchief right now." Come."

The four-year-old boy Shen Yu spoke freely, pointed at Shen Yanhan and said: "Dragged rat, big sister, you are just a drowned rat! It's so funny..."

Just as the traces of her mother Qi Yun in the Shen family are getting less and less, her younger brother Shen Yu, the only young man in the Shen family, is becoming more and more rude to her, in line with the saying "Be proud of being favored" .

Shen Guci looked at Shen Yanhan.

Seeing that she was soaked to the skin, with a few strands of black hair sticking to the corners of her lips, her appearance was unkempt, and her thin dress clung to her body, so that her graceful figure could be seen at a glance. He put down the tea cup, his expression became solemn, and he frowned slightly.

At this time, Shen Hui stood up slowly, blocking Shen Guci's view of Shen Yanhan, and called Shen Yanhan "big sister" properly.

As a result, Shen Guci's eyes naturally shifted to Shen Hui's back.

An embroidered chrysanthemum came into view. Shen Guci could easily think of the new shoes he received today. Those shoes were made by the two girls. When he asked why there were chrysanthemums on them, Shen Hui said, "I saw one in my father's study." An autumn scene painting, the inscription is Mr. Wuliu's "Fragrant chrysanthemums are blooming in the forest, and green pines are crowning the rock columns. With this pure and beautiful appearance, Zhuo is a hero under the frost." My daughter feels that her father is actually very similar to Mr. Wuliu, and she admires the pine trees very much. Chrysanthemums are indifferent, elegant, noble and steadfast, so my daughter also likes chrysanthemums and embroidered a golden chrysanthemum for her father."

Looking at his two daughters of similar age in front of him, Shen Guci secretly compared them.

The second daughter is like her mother and also like him, observing etiquette and etiquette, and has a gentle and elegant temperament; while the eldest daughter's temperament is completely different from his, more like Qi Yun, lively and public, and quite informal.

To be honest, both have their own merits. He has liked both personalities in the past, but it is a pity that Qi Yun's behavior has disappointed him...

Thinking of this, Shen Guci felt annoyed and his face darkened.

When several eyes were staring at the "drowned rat", a drop of rain slipped from her eyelids into her eyes, causing discomfort. Shen Yanhan raised her sleeves and rubbed her eyes, and at the same time said: "Aunt Wen, don't be busy, I still have something to talk to daddy." .”

This "aunt" was called by Shen Yanhan on purpose, and it successfully diluted most of Wen Rong's not-so-sincere concern.

Wen Rong's face darkened, she took a step back to distance herself, and still said in a warm voice: "Then I will take your brothers and sisters out right now."

However, the thunder in the sky was very sensible and roared appropriately.

Shen Yu went straight into Shen Guci's arms beside him and shouted, "Daddy, I don't want to go out! I'm afraid of thunder." After a brief silence, Shen Guci looked at Shen Yanhan and asked, "What do you want to tell me? "

This meant she was asked to speak in front of the remaining three people.

Looking at his father who had a stubborn personality but was very soft-spoken when Shen Yu acted coquettishly, Shen Yanhan felt even colder in her heart and said coldly: "As for my mother's private matters, please go to the study."

Upon hearing that it was about Qi Yun and seeing Shen Yanhan's sharp eyes, Shen Guyi nodded and went to the study with Shen Yanhan.

Watching Shen Gu leave the house, Wen Rong sat back at the table and stuffed another candy cane into Shen Yu's mouth, thinking thoughtfully.

Shen Hui put away the gentle smile on her face and said sarcastically: "My clothes are so wet and you can see clearly inside, but you are still wandering in front of people. You are really shameless!"

Shen Hui said such mean words to Shen Yanhan behind her back. The obvious difference between her and Shen Yanhan made her jealous and crazy.

For example, in terms of appearance, Shen Yanhan is very good-looking. He gets all the advantages from his parents, with bright eyes, white teeth, brows and green eyebrows, and an outstanding figure.She herself has a pretty appearance, but even if she wants to compete with Shen Yanhan, she is very reluctant given her innate conditions.

That's all. It happened that Shen Yanhan was also smart. Shen Yanhan could easily master the same knowledge. But she could only make up for her shortcomings with hard work. She had to work hard in private to show her talent in front of her father. Her image is no worse than Shen Yanhan.

In addition, Shen Yanhan's temperament is completely opposite to her name. Not only is she not cold, but she is a bit like Concubine Mi in Cao Zijian's works. She is as bright as the sun rising with its own rays.Whenever the two sisters appear at the same time, no matter where they go, the eyes of the men will only stop on Shen Yanhan, and few will notice her first.

How could she be willing to live in the shadows behind others since she was a child?
Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and Shen Yanhan fell in love with such a mother-in-law.

Now her own situation has greatly improved: in terms of status, they are both legitimate daughters of the Shen family, and she is no worse than Shen Yanhan; what about marriage?Shen Yanhan's engagement was broken off, but she was already in hair and would soon make a date with her husband.

Thinking of this, Shen Hui felt proud and happy in her heart.

Wen Rong looked at her daughter's obvious complacency even though she was restraining herself. She thought that her daughter was still too young. She stretched out her hand and pushed Shen Hui's forehead and lectured: "Mom, I have told you so many times, no matter what you think in your heart, hide everything." It’s in my heart, don’t say it out loud, otherwise disaster will come from your mouth, why don’t you have a long memory?”

"Isn't this in front of mother? I won't hide anything from mother." Shen Hui hugged Wen Rong's arm and whispered softly, "Besides, mother, please tell me, which word did I say wrong? ?”

It has to be said that Shen Yanhan is now a tall and graceful queen. Whether it is appearance or temperament, she can be regarded as a replica of her own mother Qi Yun.

They are all innocent, lively and lively.

Although Qi Yun was just a merchant girl, she had been favored by her father and brothers in the Qi family since she was a child. Her hometown of Chengzhou was located in the remote southwest of the Zhou Dynasty, so she was not affected by the invasion of the Jin soldiers from the north. Life is stable and prosperous.

How does she look like her?
During the reign of the Supreme Emperor, Dajin invaded the Zhou Dynasty, and several northern states fell. Her family was ruined and she was forced to migrate south. As a result, she suffered from displacement and loneliness since she was a child. Even if she later met a wishful husband, she could only succumb to it. Concubine.

Shi Zun, Shang Bei.Although the businessman was rich, he was still just a member of the tribe. No matter how poor she was, she was still second to the nobles.When she entered the Shen family, she wanted to serve Qi Yun as the master.

God is so unfair.

And she was sick and tired of this injustice.

Fortunately, now all the hardships come to an end.

Wen Rong was very satisfied in her heart and smiled on her face. She did not comment on Shen Hui's words and said solemnly: "It's getting late and I have to attend the flower appreciation banquet tomorrow. You go back now and prepare a few more poems for tomorrow's use. .”

Once again being pressured by her mother to push for knowledge, Shen Hui felt a little unhappy in her heart, but she knew that Wen Rong was doing this for her own good. This move would help improve her image in the hearts of the noble ladies. There was no excuse. Find and say hello.
