Chapter Fifty-six Frustrated Expectations
When Shen Xijun saw her younger sister getting up to greet the eldest sister, she tasted something in her mouth: "It's obvious that you and the eldest sister have a good relationship! When I came, you, the birthday girl, only greeted me in this courtyard. Now that I heard that my elder sister is coming, I want to kiss her. Go to the second door to pick him up."
Shen Qiujun didn't expect that the second sister would be so jealous, so he smiled and said: "Sister, it's not that I was wronged! I heard that you were coming, and I hurriedly asked people to serve you your favorite refreshments. I didn't expect that you were so fast, but... Came over first."
Shen Xijun smiled and said: "You are so clever! I won't argue with you. Go and pick up your people, or you will blame the eldest sister for being quick."
"Why me, isn't it us?" Shen Qiujun said with a teasing smile: "For private purposes, she is the elder, for public purposes, she is the prince and princess!"
Shen Xijun's face turned red, she quickly stood up, glanced at her sister bitterly, and walked out first.
As soon as they arrived at the second gate, they saw that Shen Lijun, mother and son had already gotten out of the car.
Sister Lan excitedly came up to her and shouted: "Second aunt! Little aunt!"
Shen Xijun hurriedly took a few steps, stepped forward to support her, and said, "Little ancestor, you should be more careful. If you fall down, you may cry."
Sister Lan couldn't help but snorted when she saw her second aunt exposing her scandal in front of her face. However, her aunt had already gone to help her mother, so she couldn't help but stand there with a pout.
Shen Qiujun came forward with a smile, supported the eldest sister, and said with a smile: "I told you a long time ago that I don't need to come with you. Seeing you like this, my mother will feel distressed again!"
Shen Lijun held her sister's hand, with a spring-like smile on her face, and said, "You are the treasure of our Shen family. It's not like I can't move. If I don't come here in person, I will really feel uneasy."
Shen Qiujun smiled but said no more words.
Shen Lijun looked around again and said with a smile: "I originally thought that I had a long way to go and would be the last to arrive, but I didn't expect that I arrived early. They haven't arrived yet, so quietly!"
Shen Qiujun did not speak, but looked at the eldest sister with a slight smile.
Shen Xijun had already answered and said: "Don't mention it now! I originally said that we can take advantage of my sister's good life to have a lively life together, but my sister said that we should know our blessings and cherish them. She is still young and does not dare to bother everyone to come and celebrate her birthday. , I’m afraid that my blessing will be lost, so we have no choice but to eat longevity noodles together.”
The warm smile on Shen Lijun's face froze.
She and her husband had lived in Zhuangzi since then, and had little contact with outsiders. They had a close friendship when they met, but as time went on, they became farther and farther away from the powerful circles of the capital.
She had written a letter a few days ago, instructing her second sister to invite all the ladies and ladies to hold a lively birthday party for her third sister.
The second sister also replied to the letter, detailing how many people would be invited so that she could prepare in advance.
As expected, most of the ladies and ladies who were invited came from the families of the late emperor's family friends who followed him with their father back then, and they are all current ministers.
With Shen Mansion as a bridge, there may be unexpected gains.
I had already thought about how to make friends with them and win over people for my husband, but I didn't expect that this time I didn't invite any outsiders. All my strength was like hitting cotton, and I felt indescribably aggrieved.
When Shen Qiujun saw that the smile on her eldest sister's face was really distorted, she couldn't help but lower her eyes and sneered in her heart.
She felt that she was a bit mean. She had already made up her mind, but she insisted on verifying it again. Not only did she tear off the fig leaf, but she also made her heart suffer again!
If the heart hurts too many times, will it become numb and stop hurting?
In fact, it was Shen Qiujun who got into trouble. Although Shen Lijun had her own plans, she really wanted to celebrate her sister's birthday. As for making friends with the aristocratic family, she was just taking advantage of the situation.
If it were her previous life, Shen Qiujun would have known that the eldest sister was here specifically for her own private matters, so he would not have thought too much about it, and maybe he would have helped her.
But Shen Qiujun now knew that he had been deceived and used by his eldest sister in his previous life. He was heartbroken and unbearable. He just wanted to prove that he was wrong about his eldest sister, but he couldn't help but blame him and find fault.
For example, she stopped her mother from inviting outsiders, and she didn't let Shen Xijun in advance.
Shen Xijun only learned the truth today. She felt that it was not lively enough because she could not invite all her relatives and friends. She also had a look of disappointment on her face, but Shen Qiujun did not feel frustrated in her heart and instead tried to persuade her with words.
Looking back at Shen Qiujun's attitude towards Shen Lijun, because he still had resentment towards his eldest sister, he not only refused to let her use his birthday party, but also deliberately played a trick on her. At this time, Shen Lijun looked disappointed. The hatred in my heart became even stronger.
Shen Lijun had already smiled and teased her sister affectionately: "As for your thoughtfulness, who wouldn't take this opportunity to invite relatives and friends to come and have fun for a day! Anyway, there are no guests, so we don't have to be formal and have a good day. "
As expected, he is astute and acts without revealing anything!
Shen Qiujun also laughed and said pointedly: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the second sister. I originally wanted to invite them here. Who doesn't want to invite friends to come and have fun for a day? I just heard that the eldest sister is coming. The eldest sister is expensive." As a princess, she is also a virtuous and kind-hearted person. She has to socialize with everyone, and my nephew will hurt us if we are tired, so why don’t we have a quiet meal as a family!"
"Come on! Come on! You took the blame for all the good guys, and I'm the only bad guy!" Shen Xijun sneered, pulling Sister Lan, and walked inside first.
There was worry on Shen Lijun's face, and she wanted to try to reconcile the two sisters. Shen Qiujun smiled and said: "Ignore her! Let her take Sister Lan to her mother first to show her courtesy. To be honest, she still I’m not a bad person, I should be the eldest sister. If the eldest sister doesn’t leave this time, how can I not invite those people to come and have some fun? It’s really too deserted!”
Shen Lijun laughed: "After all, we are all bad people! You are the only good person! Come in quickly, don't keep mother waiting!"
Entering Mrs. Shen's small courtyard, she saw Mrs. Shen sitting on a small painted bed, holding Sister Lan in her arms and screaming loudly. She didn't even have time to argue with Sister Shen Lijun when she came in. She just let her go. Sister Lan is delicious and fun.
The two sisters Shen Lijun sat down casually on the chairs in front of the collapse.
Shen Xijun and her mother were sitting in the seats together, coaxing Sister Lan. Seeing this, she couldn't help but smile at her sister with raised eyes, as if she was coercing the emperor to order the princes.
Shen Qiujun made a face in return, and the two sisters laughed.
Shen Lijun was puzzled. She didn't expect that the relationship between her two sisters could be so good.
While coaxing her granddaughter to eat, Mrs. Shen complained: "Now that the pregnancy is stable, don't be too careless. You are different from the past. If you don't come, your sister can still pick on you."
Shen Lijun smiled hurriedly and said: "It's just once a year. Besides, I'm in excellent health. If I don't come in person, I'll feel bad at home, so I might as well come over in person!"
Mrs. Shen knew that her eldest daughter had a harmonious relationship with her younger sisters, and it would be impossible if she was not allowed to come. She gave a few more instructions, and then smiled and chatted with her daughters.
