Shen Minglei is dressed in a crescent-white robe, embroidered with bamboos with cyan silk thread, tied around his waist with a matching cyan Xiangyun wide-brimmed brocade belt, and has a small jade crown on his black hair. It must be said that he has inherited Shen Zhifeng very well. With her beautiful eyebrows and Yueniang's softness, the whole person looks gentle and handsome, like a jade tree facing the wind.

When introducing him, Lin Xueying simply said: "This is my brother Lin Yang's academy classmate, Shen Minglei." There was still a bit of shyness on her face.

Shen Qingyun said curiously: "It turns out to be a family, but I don't know what Mr. Shen's parents do?"

Shen Minglei smiled calmly: "Both my parents were officials in Yangzhou, so it's not worth mentioning. I passed the college entrance examination alone, thanks to Brother Lin's care on weekdays. I heard that Miss Shen played a piano song at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. , I don’t know when I will have the opportunity to see it.”

Of course, he still didn't know that Shen Qingyun had already grasped his situation, and since Yangzhou was a long way away, no one would go to investigate specifically what was going on. Shen Zhifeng had probably made arrangements for Shen Minglei.

Shen Qingyun keenly noticed that Shen Minglei had a calm look on his face, but the hand holding the tea cup unconsciously tightened, and he smiled faintly: "Young Master Shen is so complimentary."

Lin Xueying didn't have much contact with Shen Minglei. She only occasionally saw her brother taking him to the house as a guest from a distance. Looking at his appearance, she thought he was an aristocratic young master from some family, but he didn't expect that he sounded like he was from a small family. The eagerness in his eyes suddenly dimmed.

Lin Yang also noticed that everyone's attitude towards Shen Minglei seemed to have changed subtly: "Brother Shen, you're welcome. Your talent is appreciated by all the teachers in the academy. When the autumn examination comes in the future, you will definitely be on the list."

In order to attract talents from all over the world, Yuda Academy does not ask about their background, but only looks at their knowledge. Anyone who passes the exam can study in Beijing.

Most of those who graduated from Yuda Academy entered the officialdom, so being able to enter the academy meant a bright future.

The two concubines of Shangshu Mansion looked at Shen Minglei with warm eyes, and they would say a few words to Shen Minglei intentionally or unintentionally.

No matter who he was dealing with, Shen Minglei was very patient, humble and courteous, which made many people present look at him with admiration. Someone happened to be joking about the marriage. Seeing that Shen Qingyun had been silent, he took the initiative to talk: "I've heard about Duke Shen and Duke Guo. Madam raises the case with eyebrows raised, and the couple has a deep love, which is really enviable."

It seems that I still can't calm down.

Everyone didn't know Shen Minglei's true identity, so they naturally thought he was sincerely complimenting him and responded accordingly. But Shen Qingyun understood that he was being sarcastic.

I felt relieved in my heart. I thought he was such a deep-minded person and good at pretending, but it was nothing more than that.

Shen Qingyun lowered his head and smiled coyly, his eyes bright and bright, which immediately attracted the attention of several men present.

Lin Xueying has two brothers. The other eldest brother is named Lin Zhiyuan. He is thin and tall. He wears a robe embroidered with green patterns and a bright silk white placket. His black hair is combed into a neat bun. A hairband hangs from the white jade crown on top.

He was quite personable, but he was looking at Shen Qingyun with a look of covetousness.

Lin Xueying saw her brother's appearance and sighed secretly in her heart. The eldest brother liked beautiful women the most. But recalling her sister-in-law's haggard appearance, she took Shen Qingyun to the other side to see the scenery without leaving a trace, avoiding Lin Zhiyuan. gaze.

Shen Qingyun also noticed it, and he liked Lin Xueying even more.

At this time, a child suddenly broke in along the path.

It was a little boy of three or four years old, with bright, black and big eyes, looking around curiously. He still had cute baby fat on his face, his belly was bulging, and he was holding a lump in his hand. The unfinished snacks are very cute.

The wet nurse behind her was running out of breath: "Little Master, slow down, slow down, you may fall down."

Lin Xueying squatted down with a smile and rubbed the little boy's head: "Brother Yu, why are you running over here?"

Brother Yu smiled shyly and hid behind the wet nurse who followed him, but his eyes looked straight at Shen Qingyun, this beautiful and unfamiliar sister.

Lin Xueying smiled and said to Shen Qingyun: "Qingyun, this is my eldest brother's child, Brother Yu. He is almost four years old. He is usually greedy and active."

Then he turned to Brother Yu and said, "Come and say hello to Sister Qingyun."

Brother Yu blinked his big eyes and called out sister in a sweet voice, which made her heart soften.

The wet nurse wanted to take the young master back, but Brother Yu quickly ran behind Shen Qingyun, grabbing Shen Qingyun's hanging sleeves with his fleshy little hands and not wanting to leave.

It happened that everyone there seemed to have had enough rest. Some people discussed walking to the top of the island, and some wanted to go to the lake to enjoy the breeze.

Lin Zhiyuan came over and asked Lin Xueying and Shen Qingyun how to get there. When he saw Brother Yuan, he frowned and said to the nanny: "Bring the young master back quickly, sister Qingyun's sleeves will be stained later."

Brother Yu was a little scared when he saw his father's serious look, and his little hand grabbed Shen Qingyun's sleeves and squeezed tighter.

Shen Qingyun gently held Brother Yu's hand: "How about I help send him back? On the contrary, I like Brother Yu very much."

Lin Xueying saw her brother's hot eyes and agreed with a smile: "Then I'll trouble Qingyun, it's not far from here. I'll ask the maid to accompany me, so I can bring you over later."

When Lin Zhiyuan heard that Shen Qingyun was leaving, he felt a little disappointed and dissatisfied: "Sister Qingyun is a guest, how could she..."

Shen Qingyun smiled: "It doesn't matter."

Brother Yu was led by her and followed him very obediently this time.

Lin Zhiyuan looked at Shen Qingyun's back for a long time and was unwilling to look away, feeling like a cat was scratching him.

It would be great if such a beauty could get close to talk and kiss her. He stared at Shen Qingyun's hand holding Brother Yu's hand, and he was a little unhappy that his son was one step ahead of him. Those hands must be very soft. .

Shen Qingyun noticed that someone was staring at her from behind, so she walked quickly without looking back.

All the way to the courtyard of Mrs. Lin Zhiyuan, Mrs. Liu, there was no one inside. The bitter smell of Chinese medicine floated in the air, which made it seem a little lonely. However, the flowers in the courtyard were well taken care of and were blooming in full bloom.

Brother Yu trotted in with his calves, threw himself into Mrs. Liu's arms, and softly shouted: "Mother."

Now that Shen Qingyun is here, she naturally wants to come in to meet Mr. Liu. When she steps into the inner room, her heart freezes.

Mrs. Liu's face was sallow, her eyes were cloudy, and her long skirt could not cover her thin body. When she reached out to hug Brother Yu, her big sleeves looked empty. She could not stop coughing, and she seemed to have been ill for a long time. Look.
