Chapter 342

And Ji, that is, the hairpin used for binding hair. In ancient times, if a woman was betrothed at the age of 15, she would wear a hairpin to tie her hair, and if she was not betrothed, she would wear a hairpin when she was 20 years old.This phrase comes from the "Book of Rites Nei Ze", "Women...have to be born in five years." "笄" means to tie hair and use it to penetrate it.

"It refers to those who are promised to marry according to the year. When a woman is promised to marry, she will be married. If she is not allowed to marry, she will be married when she is twenty."

In other words, for Shen Lidong, tomorrow and the day of Ji are a turning point in her life, and it is also a time when she needs to make an important decision.

Spreading out her palms, the finely carved mandarin duck hairpin with flawless white jade lay there quietly, the soft luster slightly touching the corners of her eyes.Until now, she knows what it means for a man to give a woman a hairpin. If she puts on the hairpin given by Xie Chaoyun tomorrow, she has given Xie Chaoyun a clear answer; So even if it represents her silent rejection.

So tomorrow, should she give Xie Chaoyun the answer or not?Shen Lidong stared at the white jade mandarin duck hairpin in his hand, frowned inexplicably, remained silent for a long time, unable to make up his mind.Suddenly my heart was very irritable, I stood up, lit the lantern,

Putting on a white fur coat, he pushed open the door and walked out, just wandering around the courtyard of the mansion aimlessly.

Naturally, in this season, everything is bleak, and the night is extremely cold, so Shen Lidong, who is out for a stroll at the moment, walks casually, his thoughts are racing, and hehees the coldness in his hands from time to time, and he can't help but tighten his body cloak, so as to drive away the cold wind that hurts the skin.

Of course, it was also fortunate to have this cold wind accompanying Shen Lidong's messy head that could not be sorted out. With this cold wind, his thoughts gradually became clearer, and the stuffy air in his heart also slowly dissipated. and go.

The yellowed dead leaves are stepped on under the feet, and occasionally there will be a rustling sound, which is heard in the ears, like a whisper in the middle of the night.Suddenly there was another gust of cold wind, and a few scattered leaves on the dry branches and leaves were also blown off the branches, and they were blown up with the wind, rushing towards her, and a fallen leaf touched her skirt.

When Shen Lidong saw it, he was touched inexplicably, with his fingertips, he twirled the fallen leaf between his fingertips.She looked at this fallen leaf, looked at it, and seemed to be insane, her eyes were slightly blurred.

Flowers bloom and fall, wind blows leaves, spring, summer, autumn and winter, the cycle of the four seasons is in accordance with the laws of nature and goes with the flow.

And she, maybe, many things, she was too obsessed from the beginning.

Since she was a child, she has always told herself that she must forget her previous life and live in the present, but her life path has long been permeated with all her obsessions from her previous life, what to forget and what to let go , she did nothing at all.In fact, she has always used the thoughts and concepts of the previous life to look at people and things in this world as a bystander, but she has never lived in the current world as a true blender.

Except for her family, she never seems to open her heart to fully accept someone or completely trust someone. She seems to be more transparent than anyone else, but only she understands that she is timid , is cowardly, so she strictly forbids anyone to take a step closer to things beyond her control.

Just like that boy Tang Yuanqi, she knows that child's bright intentions, but she can't give the same return, because she thinks too much and has too many scruples, there is no way to fly moths to the flame like a woman of her age She is not afraid of all dangers to fight for such an unpredictable destination, because it is too risky, and she never likes to do risky things, and she doesn't like the feeling of being unable to control the palm of her hand, so once Tang Yuanqi gets closer, she Then he retreated three points, retreating so naturally.

She carefully guards her heart, that heart is more fragile than anyone else, even if it is the elder brother Shen Wenxuan who has been very close to her since she was a child, even if she knows his intentions clearly, all she can accept is him. The identity of the eldest brother, but not staying by her side as a man.

Because once the eldest brother stays by her side with a man, Shen Lidong will lose the confidence to make the two of them live a happy life. Therefore, in this hesitation, she decisively chose family affection and cut off the other kind. possible.Because she felt that she had no heart, and a person without heart would naturally not be able to give others happiness, nor would she be able to make herself happy, so she has been living with the idea that she would rather be alone for the rest of her life.

However, when she was embracing such thoughts, there appeared such a man, a man who said that she could live with her as a partner for the rest of her life, that young man who was as beautiful as a peach blossom at first sight, made her regret her kiss and become an annoyance forever The man, the man in white who touched her heartstrings, made her walk into the web he woven unknowingly for many years, slowly disturbing the lake of her heart and breaking her peace like still water.

That guy was indeed more cunning and dangerous than anyone else. The first time she met him, she knew that he was a young man who was extremely dangerous to her. He was as beautiful as a peach blossom, but also a deadly poppy. He was extremely dangerous. But he's so smart, isn't he?At this time, Shen Lidong had a bitter smile on the corner of her mouth, she felt that she seemed to be the frog in the fable that was scalded to death by warm water.

Although that metaphor is not appropriate, Shen Lidong feels that it is very similar to her situation, so she feels that Xie Chaoyun is just like a real person, extremely cunning, and extremely intelligent. He used this method to invade her world and make her gradually let go of it. She became wary and got along well with him with a cooperative attitude. In this way, he invaded her heart step by step and gathered all the relatives around her away. At this time, can she say that he is not smart?

But at this time, as Shen Lidong's thoughts became clearer, her judgment became more accurate and sharper.But at this time, even if she had seen everything about Xie Chaoyun, she was not angry anymore.Because compared to being angry, she could tell that calmly, if that guy hadn't really gotten too deep, he would never have approached her so cautiously in this way.

So, should she say that she was lucky enough to be spotted by him, or should she say that she was unfortunately picked up by him?Perhaps, the answer is already obvious, isn't it?

Between her and him, it seemed that he was more miserable than her. Who told him to fall in love with her first?And a person who acts first is always sad, isn't it?

In this way, Shen Lidong, who had guessed Xie Chaoyun's thinking and Xie Chaoyun's plan, felt extremely relaxed at this moment.

Spreading out his palms, Shen Lidong smiled and blew away the fallen leaf in his palm, and at the same time seemed to blow away the obsession in her heart.

Perhaps, for many things, she is going to try to take the first step.

Maybe, she can also try something out of her control, accept it naturally, and develop it naturally, so that it is not in vain that God gave her such a new life, isn't it?

Thinking about it, the boredom in Shen Lidong's heart dissipated immediately, she smiled and carried the lantern, and walked briskly back to the room.That night, she seemed to sleep well, and when she woke up, there was still a comfortable smile on the corner of her mouth.

This day is her birthday. Shen Lidong, who chose the answer, took a bath and changed clothes under the service of Hibiscus Mulan, changed into clothes and shoes, and sat in the dressing room of the east room waiting. Tian Kongfang took out the bloody mandarin duck pendant and tied it around her waist.

Then, she carefully stored the flawless white jade hairpin in a wooden box and delivered it to Mu Jin. "Tell Madam, I will use the hairpin in this wooden box to tie my hair today." After Shen Lidong said this, Mu Jin's eyes flickered slightly, and then she smiled happily and said, "Yes, miss, I will do it now."
