Fengqi Jingshi

Chapter 28 Wintersweet (6)

After hearing this, Shu Yao felt a little curious. She didn't understand what Shen Junzhuo wanted Shen Yan's two servants to do, so she asked:

"Is Uncle Jiu short of someone? Why would he want a servant who made a mistake?"

Shu Ya shook her head and said:
"How could he be short of people. I thought I might pity these two young servants for their innocence. I should go and find a way to save their lives."

Shu Yao didn't speak any more.After taking the medicine, Shu Ya became sleepy after a while, and fell asleep in a daze.

Early the next morning, Shu Yao went to Mrs. Yu's courtyard to pay her respects as usual.She originally thought that she wouldn't be so scared when she met Shen Junzhuo this time, but who would have thought that she didn't meet him.After asking Xiyue, I found out that the reason why Shen Junzhuo came to say good morning in those two days was because the official family stopped court due to illness. He didn't go to court early, so he came to greet Mrs. Yu first, and then had to go to the palace.Although the official family did not have an early court, they still had to see the important officials in the court.But today the morning court resumed, so it was too late to say hello.

After hearing this, Shu Yao couldn't tell what was going on in her heart, she was a little lost and disappointed.She couldn't figure out why she felt this way, was it just because she didn't see him?She felt a little funny again, how could it be possible, she was obviously still a little scared of him!But she couldn't be happy in her heart, and she was depressed for a whole day.

A few days later, it was still the same.Shu Yao felt a little bit down every day.Seeing the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, and having finished breakfast on this day, Shen Yan's younger sister named Yuyao suddenly asked Shu Yao:
"Can my sister cut paper?"

Shu Yao was a little surprised, she had never interacted with them before, she didn't know what she meant, so she didn't dare to answer, she just replied:

"It will be a little bit, the cut is not good."

Yuyao clapped her hands and said with a smile:
"Then sister, come to my yard later! I'm sweeping the house and blowing the dust today, and I need to paste window grilles according to the old practice. Although we can't paste it this year, we plan to cut it, practice the craft, and use it later. I can figure it out. It’s just that sister, don’t laugh at us when the time comes!”

Shu Yao vaguely agreed, and when they were gone, she asked Mother Liu to go back and talk to Shu Ya, and then went to Yuyao's yard with Yuyao and the other four sisters.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shu Yao finally figured out that Shen Yu had another older sister who was born to Mrs. Jiang, and she was married long ago. Now the four younger sisters in the mansion are all born from concubines.Although the Duke has many concubines, he only had three sons, one Shen Yan, one Shen Yu, and a little pudding who was only three years old. He was ill all day long and dared not go out, so she never never seen it.

When the five girls came together, they were of the same age, so they could still chat together.I cut the paper for a while, and talked about the appearance of Huizi flowers. I said that the Baoxiang flowers that are popular in the capital are not as complicated as before.

Seeing that it was lunch time, except for Yu Min who lived with Yu Yao, the three resigned, agreed to meet again next time, and went back to their respective yards.

When they arrived at Magnolia Courtyard, Shu Ya asked how they got along, Shu Yao smiled and said it was not bad.Shu Ya showed some strange expressions on her face, and said:

"You are very popular. I have been here for more than a year, and I have never been close to them. Now that you have been here for more than a month, you have received their invitation. Since you are getting along well, you are all The little girl is from every family, and she doesn't have much heart in thinking about it, she just wants to have one more person in one place."

Hearing what Shu Ya said, Shu Yao thought over and over what they said today, but there was nothing unusual about it. On second thought, maybe it was because they were similar in age that they wanted to get close.Thinking about it this way, I don't care too much.
