The World of Peace in the Red Mansion

"No matter what it means, Shen Jinyu, we have nothing to say. Hurry up and return the letter to my junior sister." Xu Cheng also didn't understand what this person was going to do. He just said so righteously, but now he is pretending to be stupid .

Seeing that there was nothing to be done, Shen Jinyu could only smile wryly in her heart. It was not impossible to withhold the letter and regret it, but Miss Lin was clearly dissatisfied with him now.How could he act intimidating, after a long silence, he finally took out the letter and handed it to Daiyu.

He suddenly regretted coming here in person today, originally he was only worried about his mother's attitude and fear of trouble, and he really admired Lin Gong's character, and he didn't want to break the relationship between the two families, so he asked his mother to come in person.On the one hand, although the marriage failed, the relationship between the two families remained the same. If something happened, he should naturally take care of it. On the other hand, he discussed with his father, intending to recognize a godly relative, so that he could take care of the Lin family on behalf of Mr. Lin, and live up to Mr. Lin's letter. support.

He originally thought that his mother was determined not to let Miss Lin in. If she had to insist, the relationship between the two of them might not be happy in the future. Wouldn't this be the best of both worlds? Miss Lin is still young, and in two years they will be taken care of by their family. Wouldn't it be better to come forward to find a good marriage for her, but I don't think that this sinful thing can't be done, and in the end it just got retribution.

Daiyu didn't read the letter after receiving it, but only served tea to see off the guests.

Shen Jinyu got up in a daze and cupped her hands and said, "What happened today is my fault. From now on, whenever Miss Lin has something to say, I will let you be driven."

"Don't dare to work on Mr. Shen, the little girl can take care of herself." Daiyu politely declined.

Shen Jinyu didn't force her to really pay attention, and she was in a mess right now, so she took a deep look at Miss Lin and was about to leave.But he didn't want to focus his eyes on the embroidered handkerchief, the handwriting in small script on it was very familiar.

Thinking of a possibility, he suddenly stared at Daiyu and said, "Miss Lin met my next cousin Qian Qian?"

It was a worry for Daiyu to take back the letter. Although the young master of the Shen family had a weird temperament, it had nothing to do with her. I didn't want him to suddenly mention Qian Qian, but he didn't understand the reason, but he told the truth, "Sister Qian and I do have a relationship." Friendship, but Mr. Shen, don’t worry, Sister Qian doesn’t know anything about my two families. Moreover, there is no marriage certificate between the two families, it’s just a word from the elders, so Sister Qian won’t misunderstand.”

She only said that this person was worried about her marriage with Qian Qian, so she kindly told him about it. Although she thought that the Shen family was unwilling to abide by the agreement with her father, the character and talent of Mr. Shen were not bad, and the two were cousins. , may not be a good marriage.

It's a pity that Daiyu didn't say anything, but Shen Jinyu's face became more and more ugly when she said it, and her already thin appearance became even paler.

Daiyu and Xu Cheng looked at each other, although Xu Cheng was annoyed at this man, but after all, he was a good friend for many years, and when he saw that he was not in the right mood, he said angrily: "Anyway, he is an official, and he can't even take care of himself. What kind of career is he looking for?" . " The mouth is like a hand, but it is stretched out to feel his pulse.

When Shen Jinyu came back to her senses, she avoided his hand slightly, put away all the emotions on her face, lowered her eyes slightly and said, "It's okay, maybe it's been a little bit cold these days. I'm bothering you today, and I'm leaving."

Seeing the back of him turning away, Daiyu suddenly felt a little lonely, she shook off that thought and smiled at Xu Cheng, "Why are you here today, brother?"

Xu Cheng was also a little worried about Shen Jinyu, but seeing Daiyu asked, he hurriedly replied: "I haven't seen Junior Sister for a long time, so I came to have a look. I didn't expect this to happen, Junior Sister should have told me earlier."

"I only found out about this later. My father planned well for me, but after all, some things are out of his control. I have always been aware of this matter. I just waited for someone from his family to find out about it." Daiyu said lightly. .

Xu Cheng sighed, "Actually, this matter may not be his intention, that's all, what do you say, when the junior sister is filial piety, the senior brother will definitely find a good husband for you."

When Daiyu heard the words, she immediately thought of Cheng Xiao, blushed and said angrily, "Brother, you're getting worse and worse."

The brothers and sisters talked and laughed, but put aside the annoying matter, because Hongxia was there, Xu Cheng didn't want to stay for a long time, so he left after asking Daiyu a few words.

But she said that Shen Jinyu left Lin's house in a daze, and didn't go back home. She sent away a group of servants, and only found the restaurant she used to go to. If she asked for a room, she would get very drunk.

It's just that before I entered, I saw another person. The corner of Shen Jinyu's mouth curled up and said: "Brother Cheng is also here, but I really don't want to entertain today. I will talk about it when I have time."

Cheng Xiao ignored his refusal, followed into the wing room, poured a glass of the wine that Xiao Er had brought, and handed it to Shen Jinyu.

Shen Jinyu took a sip and said with a wry smile: "I am conceited that I am smart, and I am envied by others when I was a young man. I always think that everything in the world can suit my own wishes. I don't want to avoid the word "no fate", but I destroyed it myself. own marriage."

After saying that, he felt even more uncomfortable, and he lifted the jug in Cheng Xiao's hand and drank it.

Seeing it, Cheng Xiao didn't seem to snatch the jug away, "I once said that I have someone I admire, remember?"

Shen Jinyu was puzzled and said: "Of course I remember, you are luckier than me."

"Indeed, I have told my elders that I will only wait for the palace's decree to grant the marriage, but the marriage will have to wait for two years, and she has not yet become a filial piety." The corners of Cheng Xiao's mouth raised slightly, with a hint of happiness.

Shen Jinyu's mind is still in a mess right now, so she forced a smile and said, "Congratulations."

"Thank you, I also hope that Brother Shen can come when I get married to Miss Lin." Cheng Xiao continued.

The smile on Shen Jinyu's face froze, she was still in her filial piety, her surname was Lin, what a coincidence!

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and opened his eyes to look at Cheng Xiao with no kindness in his eyes, "Which Lin family is it?"

Cheng Xiao casually hooked the corners of his mouth and poured himself a glass of wine before saying, "I went to Jiangnan two years ago to play, and I met Yangzhou on the way. I had the honor to pay a visit to Lord Lin, the former Jingyuan Hou, and even had the chance to meet Miss Lin. I will always remember it in my heart." , I have never forgotten each other. Finally, God is lucky to make my wish come true."

After the words fell, Shen Jinyu's fist came over, and Cheng Xiao caught it with his hand, and the two of them passed several moves in an instant.The wine tables in the house were in disarray.

Hearing movement outside the door, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, my lord?"

"It's okay, you don't need to come in." Cheng Xiao scolded.

Then he said to Shen Jinyu, "Have you fought enough?"

Shen Jinyu shook his hand vigorously and then said angrily to Cheng Xiao: "You knew it from the beginning? How could you do this?"

"So what, it's your Shen family who don't want to keep their word, I didn't force you, so why can't I ask for a marriage order. Since you can't protect her, naturally I have to." Cheng Xiao sneered.He didn't do anything, the most he did was to instigate someone to bring up Shen Jinyu's marriage with Mrs. Shen after Shen Jinyu's imperial examination rank.But that's because the Shen family didn't intend to abide by the marriage contract, otherwise what he did would be nothing.

Shen Jinyu was at a loss for words. In the final analysis, this person was at most sneering on the sidelines. All the decisions were made by himself, so what if he regretted it at the beginning.

Cheng Xiao casually lifted two stools with his feet and asked him to sit down.Then he said to the outside: "Send two more jugs of wine in."

But after a while, Xiao Er came in with wine and saw the scene inside and was shocked, but he was stared at by Cheng Xiao and dared not speak, straightened the table, put down the wine and hurried back.

After receiving the wine poured by Cheng Xiao, Shen Jinyu smiled wryly: "You counted on me from the beginning. It's impossible for me to be with Miss Lin, are you trying to make me look bad on purpose?"

Cheng Xiao shook his wine glass and sneered, "Short-term pain is worse than long-term pain. I'm telling you to give up completely. Lest you hang around Miss Lin thinking you have hope after drinking, that would be bad."

Is this for his own good?Seeing someone's arrogant appearance, Shen Jinyu felt unhappiness flashing through his heart. He cooperating with my unlucky hand let go of the person he admired by himself, and you will sprinkle salt on his wound.

But Cheng Xiao was right in one word, if he hadn't appeared today, he might change his mind tomorrow.

But squinting at Cheng Xiao, Shen Jinyu sneered and said, "Miss Lin is not a weak girl who has no idea. You can make her feel at ease by marrying her by referring to marriage. After all, it's just a matter of power." It's not easy for people.

The defeated general didn't know where he lost, so Cheng Xiao gave him a contemptuous look, "Do you think I'm you? Sure enough, I've read a lot and I'm very pedantic. I got a firm message, but Miss Lin has absolutely no ill feelings toward me." To be honest, he wasn't sure, but how could he lose face in front of his love rival.At least he was sure that Miss Lin had a better impression of him than the person in front of him.

Shen Jinyu choked, and almost walked away in anger, but held back in the end.

On the contrary, Cheng Xiao patted her shoulder soothingly and said: "Where is there no fragrant grass in the end of the world, Brother Shen and Miss Lin have no destiny, so naturally they will have their own destiny in the future, right? Come, let's have a drink, I wish Brother Shen finds his destiny as soon as possible .”

Shen Jinyu patted his hand and drank it down, "Treat Miss Lin well." Then she stood up, "I think I don't want to see you for a long time."

Cheng Xiao looked at Shen Jinyu's leaving back leisurely, and couldn't help smiling.It's time to find grandfather to finalize the marriage. Thinking that Miss Lin will officially belong to him, I feel even happier.

He was not so kind to comfort his rival, but Shen Jinyu is not a soft character. If he came out of the Lin family normally, he might not be in a hurry, but one can guess the reason for the lonely expression.

In a good mood, he compensated the loss of the store, but Cheng Xiao didn't forget that he also shut down two demon monks and demon ways.
