Chapter 188 Tips
Shen Shuyi's expression remained unchanged. He still sat at the table, drinking tea leisurely.
After Shen Meiru stood up, she looked as usual and chatted with her warmly about the birthday painting for a while before leaving.
After she left, Shen Shuyi put down the teacup, and there was more depth in his clear almond-shaped eyes.
As soon as Shen Meiru returned to her yard, she couldn't wait to open the letter.
The ball of characters had been crumpled beyond recognition, but the words on it were still clearly visible.
As soon as I looked at it, a line of words that were not really beautiful came into my sight.
"From now on, I will smile at the spring breeze and live a long-lived immortal life."
Two lines of small characters are birthday congratulations.
Unfortunately, even though the person who wrote this word tried his best to write it neatly and beautifully, this word is still not worthy of being considered elegant.
For a moment, Shen Meiru seemed to have glimpsed some secret. She curled her lips and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes.
This is really a case of searching for something without any effort!
These days, she has been thinking about finding an opportunity to get Shen Shuyi's handwriting to make Qin Xuerong satisfied.
But unfortunately, she never found the right opportunity.
Moreover, those papers for practicing calligraphy were not only kept clean every time, but the words on them also had no meaning and were far less convincing than the one in his hand.
Humph, why did you ask your father to write this?
It was just an excuse!
God help me too.
Shen Meiru didn't know how good Shen Shuyi's painting skills were, but judging from this piece of calligraphy, her calligraphy was definitely not up to par.
Why can she, an orphan girl who just came back from a Buddhist temple, be better than me, while I have to consider Qin and Shen Jingzhen's faces everywhere?
Shen Meiru breathed a sigh of relief. Sooner or later, she would live a better life than all of them and be more envied!
At night, Ruixueyuan.
Qin Xuerong sat on an exquisite threaded eight-treasure chair. Aunt Han, who had delicate features and was well-behaved, stood behind her, carefully massaging her shoulders.
"A painting of pine and cranes to celebrate longevity? It's an excellent painting?" Qin Xuerong asked in a calm voice.
Aunt Han said quickly, "That's what Ru'er said. She just said that the painting of flowers in clusters makes people happy when they see it."
Qin Xuerong had a gloomy look and said nothing. It was unknown what she was thinking.
Aunt Han took out a folded piece of paper from her sleeve, lowered her head and handed it to Qin Xuerong with both hands.
"This is what Ru'er got from the Second Miss. Please take a look, Madam."
Qin Xuerong reached out to take it, and her fingers were stained with beautiful Impatiens juice.
When the letter ball was opened and the words on it came into view, Qin Xuerong suddenly became energetic and a smile appeared on her face.
"well done!"
After receiving the praise, Aunt Han finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Xuerong said in a gentle voice, "It just so happens that I have two pieces of nice fabric. You can take them back and make two sets of clothes for Ru Jie'er. I will also pay attention to them and look after them for her at the old lady's birthday banquet."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Han immediately knelt in front of Qin Xuerong, with a look of joy on her face: "Thank you, Madam, for your kindness!"
Looking at her tender appearance, Qin Xuerong felt somewhat annoyed.
What's more, her own daughter could only be detained in the nunnery to reflect on her mistakes, but she wanted to find a husband for her daughter first.
Whenever she thought of this, Qin Xuerong couldn't be happy.
Besides, Aunt Han was good-looking. It was because Shen Jingchuan looked at her twice that she gritted her teeth and sent him to his bed.
But unexpectedly, she only had a pretty face, but was unable to keep the master's heart at all, so that until now, the master is still being controlled by that bitch Aunt Wu.
Aunt Han secretly observed Qin Xuerong's expression and knew that the lady hated herself for being useless.
But she knew better that if she didn't fight, she could at least survive safely. But if she really fought, if she lost, she would die without a burial place. If she won, she would also be hated by the lady.
Without Aunt Wu, she would only become the second Aunt Wu in the lady's eyes.
After pondering for a while, Han Yi Niang thought of her daughter and tried again: "Madam, for the old lady's birthday banquet this time, Ru'er wanted to make some cakes as a birthday gift..."
"Pastries?" Qin Xuerong frowned, feeling that pastries were not suitable for this kind of occasion.
But think about it, she was born a maid, how could she come up with anything good? It's been like this every year.
"I thought that just making cakes would not be solemn enough, so I thought of making some cakes using medicinal food methods. But I don't know if this is feasible." Aunt Han tested cautiously.
In fact, in her opinion, this is a great idea.
Although the things are not precious, when she mentions them at the birthday party, others will surely appreciate Ruer's care and filial piety. When considering marriage in the future, interested parties will also look up to her.
But after thinking it over, she was afraid that it would not be appropriate. She was afraid of stealing Shen Jingzhen's limelight and also afraid of making Qin Xuerong unhappy.
Qin Xuerong thought for a moment and said gently, "That's a good idea. You always like to do these things. Since you have this plan, do it well."
Aunt Han smiled and kowtowed firmly: "Thank you, Madam!"
"Okay, step back."
After she left, Qin Xuerong began to think carefully.

At this moment, Yunshu Garden.
Shen Shuyi was busy memorizing his book when a rare guest came.
Shen Qinghuan brought a few boxes of rouge and came in with a smile: "Second sister, my uncle went to Liangcheng to deliver goods a few days ago, and brought some rouge and powder to me and my aunt, so I thought of giving you a few boxes. I don't know if you will dislike it."
Shen Shuyi greeted him with a smile: "Why would I dislike it? This is what I need the most."
This is true. She seldom wears makeup and is not very interested in these things, so she really doesn't have much of these things.
Shen Qinghuan sat down with a smile, took out the things in the basket one by one, and said softly: "Second sister, take a look at the colors. Do you like them? If there are any you don't like, I have more."
Shen Shuyi looked at it carefully and found that the colors were all light and not exaggerated. Even the fragrance was her favorite cool tone. It was obvious that much thought was put into it.
"Thank you, Auntie, for me. I like it very much."
Shen Qinghuan's smile became more genuine, and she said in a gentle voice, "Second sister and fifth sister have been getting close recently, but I only gave one copy of this to second sister, so you have to keep it a secret for me."
Shen Shuyi raised his eyes and looked at her. The girl's eyes were clear and sharp.
Shen Qinghuan continued, "It's not that I don't want to send my fifth sister off, but there are so many sisters in the mansion, and if my aunt and I send them off one by one, it will be a bit too much."
"I understand. My aunt favors me." Shen Shuyi smiled.
Shen Qinghuan said again: "Besides, Fifth Sister has always been on good terms with Third Sister, and with Mother's care, I'm sure these things will not be lacking."
Shen Shuyi curled her lips and could tell that Shen Qinghuan was here to remind her.
Perhaps it was because Shen Meiru had come too often recently, so Aunt Wu asked her to remind herself to be more careful with Shen Meiru.
No matter what the purpose of Aunt Wu and Shen Qinghuan was, Shen Shuyi appreciated their kindness.
