Chapter 27

The servant walked to He Shen's side.

He whispered to him, "Second Master asked you to come in."

"I'm afraid I'll offend the girls in your mansion," He Shen said lightly.

The servant hurriedly said, "Second Master said.

It doesn't matter. "

Only then did He Shen move his feet and slowly step through the door.

As soon as he entered, Baoyu unconsciously took two steps back in the direction of Daiyu.

He Shen seemed to be very scared.

He instinctively wanted to find a safe place.

He was also afraid that Jia Zheng would scold him for being unruly.

He even opened his mouth and called out, "Assistant Minister."

He Shen turned around and called out to Liu Quan behind him, "Bring the thing here."

Liu Quan hurriedly brought in a box.

He Shen was a little hesitant.

He and Daiyu didn't talk much.

How to address her became a problem.

In front of these people.

Naturally, he couldn't be too intimate with her.

Calling her "Miss Lin" was too distant.

He Shen still couldn't speak properly for the first time.

On the contrary, Daiyu was more natural and unrestrained at this time. She pushed Zi Juan aside.

She walked forward and pointed at the box.

She looked up and asked He Shen, "Can I have a look?"

"Of course."

Daiyu reached out and opened the box, only to see that there wasn't any gold or silver jewelry inside.

There was only a lamp.

At first glance, it looked a little ordinary.

But Xue Yan behind him was stunned. She turned to Zi Juan and said, "This morning, the girl also mentioned …"

Zi Juan hurriedly pinched her.

Xue Yan immediately shut up.

As for how shocked she was,

She could only suppress it in her heart.

"What an exquisite lamp," Daiyu said in a low voice.

Baochai also said at this time, "Look at it, it looks like a merry-go-round."

Daiyu reached out and picked up the lamp.

At this time, she also remembered what she said in the morning.

She also remembered more.

When she was still in Gusu in the early years.

Her mother was still alive.

Out the door

And you can see the high hanging lanterns.

Light and shadow fell on the face

Even his mother's face was not as pale as before.

That was the most beautiful scene in her memory.

Later on, her mother was so sick that she couldn't get up. When it came to her birthday, she couldn't leave the manor.

She had mentioned it to him.

She said that she didn't know when her mother would take her out to see the lanterns again.

Then he remembered it.

In the blink of an eye, a few years had passed, and he really did send a lamp over.

It was more beautiful than all the lanterns she had seen in her memory.

He Shen turned his head and said, "Get the fire."

A maidservant hurriedly handed over a match.

He Shen pinched the match and lit the candle inside the lamp, just like how Daiyu held the lamp. The flame gradually lit up, the heat rose.

In the blink of an eye, the shaft began to move.

Papercut's image was projected onto the screen, chasing after each other.

Flowing lights and vibrant colors.

Nothing more beautiful could be imagined.

Everyone in the room was dumbfounded.

They had seen merry-go-round before, but they had rarely seen one as beautiful as this.

"I'll do it," He Shen said as he held the merry-go-round in his hand.

Although he was extremely careful, his fingers still inadvertently touched Daiyu's.

Other people didn't notice this detail, but when He Shen brushed against the delicate skin of his fingers, he felt as if his fingertips were burning.

He stood there with the merry-go-round in his hand. Because he was much taller, Daiyu had to raise his head to look.

It was as if they had returned to Gusu in the evening.

She was walking on the street. Her body was small, and she was still holding the candied hawthorn in her hand. She looked up and saw countless beautiful lanterns. The shadows of the lanterns and people intertwined.

The people in the room could faintly make out a story from the shadow of Papercut, so they were slightly fascinated.

For a moment, no one spoke.

But no one felt that it was inappropriate.

After a while, Daiyu recovered his mind.

Only then did she notice that He Shen's fingers holding the merry-go-round were as slender as jade. It should have been exceptionally beautiful, like a piece of art.

But now, there were some small wounds on it for some unknown reason, and they were distributed in small pieces.

Daiyu was very smart. She suddenly had an incredible thought.

Could it be …

Could it be that he made this thing himself?

What about the one that Baoyu destroyed?

Did he also make it himself?

Daiyu's heart was a little shaken, but she couldn't sort out the various emotions in her mind.

At this time, Jia Zheng gently breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't know what kind of craftsman he is. He actually has such a clever mind."

He Shen slightly lowered his eyes and said in a flat tone, "This craftsman doesn't usually make things. Naturally, when he makes it, it will be different from others."

When Daiyu heard this, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Did he not intend to tell her that he made it himself?

He even made up the craftsman.

Daiyu couldn't help but laugh.

As she laughed, her facial features suddenly became much more lively, and her eyebrows and eyes became brighter. Under the light, people didn't dare to look at her directly.

But He Shen just happened to catch a glimpse of her face, and he couldn't avoid it.

He saw that the pair of ink-like eyes seemed to be soaked in water. They were sparkling and surprisingly bright.

He Shen couldn't help but think that no matter how cold-hearted a person was, under such a gaze, the bottom of his heart would probably suddenly melt into a pool of gentle water.

"Thank you …" Daiyu's tongue was in a mess, "Uncle."

He Shen also smiled faintly.

He was originally handsome, but he didn't smile often. When he smiled like this, it was as if the ice had suddenly melted, revealing more charming inside.

The merry-go-round wasn't as good-looking as his appearance.

At this time, one of the maids said, "The dishes are going to get cold."

This broke the temporarily stagnant atmosphere in the room.

He Shen handed the lantern to Xue Yan, "Take it and put it there."

Xue Yan nodded and took the lantern into the inner room.

Jia Zheng finally felt relieved and said with a smile, "In this case, Brother Zhizhai can also rest assured."

He Shen nodded.

In front of Jia Zheng, no one dared to act rashly, and it was the same at this time.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the room was still a bit strange.

Seeing this, He Shen naturally didn't want to make Daiyu's birthday so lifeless.

It was inconvenient for him to stay any longer.

He looked at Daiyu again and said, "The last time I saw you, you were still young. I'm afraid that you don't remember me."

Daiyu slightly widened his eyes and wanted to say that he remembered.

But before he could say anything, He Shen said again, "Now you have grown up.

Your father is the Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial Censor. You were born in the Gusu Lin Family. Naturally, you don't lack money, nor do you lack knowledge. "

These words were not only for Daiyu to hear, but also for the others to hear.

He just wanted them to remember that Daiyu was never a poor relative who came to Rongguo Province to ask for money.

Her father was a high-ranking official. Her family was a famous Gusu family. She was also a girl who had been pampered since she was a child.

"I only hope that you will be safe and happy from now on," He Shen said in a low voice.

"Yes," Daiyu responded in a low voice.

She looked at him. She didn't know why, but she felt that her eyes were a bit sore.

Jia Zheng said, "Since the dishes are getting cold, order the mansion to make another table and put it in the courtyard.

The servants here can leave. "

A maid responded and hurriedly passed on the message.

"Let's go," He Shen said.

Jia Zheng nodded and sent He Shen out.

Daiyu looked at his figure and stepped out of the door.

"Wait a minute," Daiyu said.

"Is there anything else?" Jia Zheng turned to ask her. It was rare for him to be so patient.

Daiyu turned around, poured a cup of wine, and handed it to He Shen who had already stepped out of the door. "Uncle, since you have congratulated me on my birthday, I should also give you a toast. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful."

He Shen's mouth curved. He took the cup and drank it in one gulp.

His movements were neat and direct. It was indescribably beautiful.

The women in the Jia Mansion had never seen such a man.

For a moment, their eyes were shining.

"Let's go back. It's getting late. The wind is blowing outside. Don't catch a cold," He Shen said in a low voice.

His voice was very pleasant to the ears.

Usually, it was cold and abstinent, as if no one could arouse his emotions.

But at this moment, when his voice was gentler, it was more like a gentle whisper to someone. Every sound of his voice tickled people's hearts.

Daiyu nodded. She also took a cup of wine from Zi Juan and drank it.

Almost immediately, her cheeks flushed red.

He Shen's gaze swept over her face. He returned the cup to her and then left with Jia Zheng.

Baoyu was naturally taken away with them.

Their figures were really far away now. They gradually blurred and disappeared completely.

"We met a few days ago, but it was not as good as today."

Xichun tilted his head and said, "People in the mansion always talk about how handsome Assistant Minister He is, how talented he is, how young he is, and how he is already in power … I didn't know until today that he is actually like this."

Tanchun also smiled and said, "Before I met him, I thought he looked old and unsightly."

Baochai smiled and said, "I also heard my mother talk about how this person is favored by the unmarried girls in the capital."

Tanchun's eyes dimmed and said, "But no matter how handsome he is, no matter how powerful he is, he is not someone we can dream of."

Xichun laughed softly. There was a hint of ridicule in her laughter, "Who knows what kind of pig, dog, or cow we will marry in the future."

She never expected that Rongguo Province would treat their concubine-born daughters well.

At this time, Daiyu turned around and sat down.

The others didn't want to spoil her mood, so they didn't mention those depressing words. They only smiled and said, "Look at how he treats Sister Lin. The girl who marries him in the future will be lucky."

"Exactly."

The sisters sat together and talked about other people's stories for a while. They also talked about the funny things in the mansion. Only then did they wait for the new dishes to be brought over.

As they ate, they drank some wine as well.

In the blink of an eye, the moon was high in the sky.

Only then did the crowd disperse.

The maidservants and grannies cleared the table.

Daiyu gathered her cloak and had the people hang the lantern on the eaves outside the window.

As long as the window was open, she would be able to see it.

At this time, the room was very quiet.

Zi Juan also raised her head and looked at the lantern. She couldn't help but whisper, "That gongzi is very attentive."

He gave her the gold, silver, and jewels bestowed by the emperor. He also gave her books and paintings that catered to her tastes. Now, he even remembered to give her small trinkets … …

Bao Er Ye's treatment of the sisters and maidservants in the mansion was very good.

But in comparison, he was a lot weaker than Ye Xiwen.

Bao Er Ye was used to saying nice things. He was concerned about this and that. After he finished speaking, he didn't do anything else.

At this time, Xue Yan came in. She pointed at the lantern and said, "I don't know if he has a way to read minds. How is it that he knows everything that our young lady is thinking?"

"Maybe it's telepathy." Zi Juan said and laughed to herself.

Daiyu didn't laugh or scold her this time. She just smiled and had someone bring her some water to wash her face.

This was a rare happy birthday after her mother passed away.

Today was truly a good day.
