Chapter 137: Lantern Festival
It was snowing outside and the fire inside the house was bright. Yunguan held the chess with one hand and flipped through the chess scores with the other hand, trying to quickly break the loss yesterday and ask Princess Hanyi to have another fight.
Recently, Yunguan often beat Shen Yihan, but occasionally she will lose one or two games. Every time she faces a loss, she will study it carefully, hoping to find out why she loses so that she will not make the same mistake again.
"Ah~" Yunguan studied wholeheartedly, and after a while, she looked up and found that Shen Yishuo was standing in front of the table. She was shocked. She had never noticed that someone had entered the house because she was too careful, and she didn't know when he came in.
"Sister Wan, you're so serious~" Shen Yishuo signaled Xue Qing and Ruoli to keep quiet when he came in.
"Just let the third prince stand like this, you two won't inform me." Yunguan said angrily. She didn't expect Xue Qing and Ruoli to ignore it.
"Master, the third prince doesn't bother you, how dare we?" Xue Qing blinked at Yunguan. She was very glad that the third prince was so concerned about Yunguan.
"And it's the third prince who doesn't let me say it..." Before Ruoli finished muttering, Xue Qing pulled her out of the house tactfully. She was afraid that Ruoli would provoke the third prince again, so only Yunguan and Shen Yishuo were left in the house.
"Sister Wan, do I need to accompany you to study this game? I have helped my sister see some tricks." Shen Yishuo observed for a long time and found several good chess games to show to Yunguan.
"I don't have to worry about my brother. I have been studying my sister for a long time. I'm very tired and don't want to watch it anymore." Yunguan randomly put the chess piece into a porcelain jar, put away the chess score, and lived in the same room with Shen Yishuo, a lonely man and a widow, which made her feel awkward. She didn't understand Shen Yishuo's purpose.
"Sister Wan, is this your new painting? It's very artistic." Shen Yishuo saw Yunguan's crampage and uneasiness. Perhaps it was because he was too close to her, so he got up and walked to the table and began to appreciate the mountain snow pictures that Yunguan painted in the morning.
"Well, I feel like watching the snow. Just draw it casually. Brother Shuo should not laugh." Yunguan agreed that the snow at Chen Shi was like goose feathers. This was the biggest snow Yunguan had ever seen this winter. She also missed Wuchuan and the undulating jade belt silver snakes.
"The more you look, the more beautiful it is. I like my sister... The feeling of painting mountains seems to be there or not, but at first glance it is also continuous and undulating." Shen Yishuo looked at Yunguan's masterpiece while admiring, "Is it because of his homesickness?"
"Why did Brother Shuo say this?" Yunguan's cheeks appeared with two flushings. She was a little shy but didn't know how Shen Yishuo noticed her mood. Yunguan had not yet drawn an inscription, and she did not feel that her painting showed her homesickness.
"Only the snow in Wuchuan can cover the mountains so beautifully, right? I miss them very much~" Shen Yishuo realized at a glance that the mountains and rivers depicted by Yunguan were her hometown, because the emperors had never had such a majestic mountain range that covered ice and snow.
"Brother has such a good eye. Have you been to Wuchuan before? You can see it clearly?" Yunguan couldn't help but exclaim. She was very conflicted. On the one hand, she could clearly feel her respect for Shen Yishuo and her increasing day by day. On the other hand, she was trying hard to suppress this special feeling. She couldn't tell whether it was admiration or admiration.
"It's not that I have good eyesight, but because I have a close relationship with my sister." Shen Yishuo looked at Yunguan affectionately. This tenderness made Yunguan's cheeks redder. "I have passed by Wuchuan, but the season is wrong, and I have not seen the snow scenes drawn by my sister with my own eyes."
"When my brother has another chance, he will go to Wuchuan to enjoy the snow in winter, and it will be shocked." Yunguan likes winter, perhaps because after the snow falls, everything seems to have regained its original intention and peace.
"Okay." Shen Yishuo nodded confidently, "Will my sister paint in front of me next time?"
"What does Brother Shuo want me to draw?" Yunguan was very curious.
"I want to see my sister look serious, it must be very charming." Shen Yishuo suddenly lowered his voice and said softly.
"Brother, don't joke with me anymore." Yunguan was a little embarrassed. She was not used to Shen Yishuo always teasing her.
"Okay, my sister doesn't like it, I won't say it." Shen Yishuo observed Yunguan carefully. He never did annoying things, but if a woman's intention was not tested, how could she know exactly?
"Sister, do you want to go to the Lantern Festival in a while?" Shen Yishuo invited him. He came to pick Yunguan to watch the Lantern Festival in Temple Street.
"No, I promised Youchen long ago and wanted to accompany him. As a sister, you can't speak out." Yunguan was worried about whether to agree, but she refused first.
"We just happened to be walking together and we had a look after each other. The Temple Street Lantern House will be crowded with people! Moreover, I specially made an appointment with Ze Fenglin so that he could take care of Youchen specifically. My sister thinks, this is good?" Shen Yishuo's care made Yunguan take down the last bit of defense. She really had no reason to refuse the person in front of her. When she thought that he would be her future husband, she could only nod in order to show her acquiescence.
"Sister Xie is willing to appreciate his face." Shen Yishuo rubbed Yunyun's head caressingly and smiled knowingly.
"Oh~oh~What are you doing? This is?" Shen Yihan saw such a scene of love and affection as soon as he entered the house, and he smiled evilly.
"Third brother, I'm talking to every girl in broad daylight..." Ze Fenglin also said with help.
"Sister Han, General Lin... OK." Yunguan blushed and lowered her head, hoping to find a crack in the ground to get in. She even asked him carefully, as if a child who made a mistake was afraid of being punished.
"My Wan'er, do you care?" Shen Yishuo rolled his eyes wide. The good time between the two was broken by them. It was so disgusting.
"Give your Wan'er back? It's like someone is going to snatch it from you..." Looking at the ambiguity between the golden boy and the jade girl, Shen Yihan was full of joy.
"Why do you say that Wan'er is yours?" Ze Fenglin asked in confusion, but it was strange to say it. He recalled that he had never seen Shen Yishuo be so gentle to any woman on weekdays.
"You really don't know?" Shen Yihan thought Ze Fenglin was acting, but he clearly understood but pretended not to understand.
"What do I know?" Ze Fenglin said in confusion.
"My stupid Linzi, I thought you were pretending, so you really don't know!" Shen Yihan laughed loudly, pointed at Shen Yishuo and Yunguan and said, "My father has given her... marriage to him~"
"Ah~" Ze Fenglin felt very embarrassed at this moment. No wonder she said she should congratulate Yunguan on the last time she saw Shen Yihan. It turned out that she had some intentions. Maybe everyone except him, shouldn't they know?
Shangyuan thought about the true friendship of family, and dreamed of riddles and string patterns. He devoted his life to adoring beauty and resolved his marriage for half a lifetime.
