Chapter 23 No matter what, she is the young lady of the Shi family

"Why has Rui'er lost so much weight?" The old lady Shi pulled Shi Rui to her side and hugged her with one arm, looking around and frowning.

Shi Rui touched her face and was about to deny it when the old lady Shi turned to Gu Danqiu who was sitting beside her and said dissatisfiedly: "Although Rui'er and Xiao Jian's life experiences are mistaken, Rui'er also raised such a child in the Shi family."

After many years, you can’t treat Rui’er harshly just because of a little blood relationship!”

Gu Danqiu's face turned ugly.

What do you mean they treat Rui'er harshly? When did they treat Rui'er harshly?

Seeing Gu Danqiu's expression change, Shi Rui hurriedly explained: "Grandma, no! My parents and everyone are very good to me, really! I...I had a cold and fever a few days ago...

But it’s not winter now, if I don’t pay attention... my parents are very good to me, grandma, don’t get me wrong..."

If Shi Rui had the same natural and coquettish attitude as before and said these words in a coquettish tone, Mrs. Shi would still believe her.

But she had always had a knot in her heart because of Xu Jingru's incident. She felt that Shi Liren and Gu Danqiu must have been disappointed in her because of this incident, so she became a little cautious.

Her hurried explanation was originally a good thing, but in the eyes of others, it meant something else. On the contrary, it became darker and darker.

The old lady Shi held Shi Rui's hand and patted it, "Rui'er, don't think too much, no matter what, you are the young lady of my Shi family! I'll leave it here! If anyone tries to embarrass you in the future,

, it’s not good for you, if you call grandma, grandma will vent her anger on you!”

As he spoke, he glanced at Shi Jian meaningfully.

Shi Jian noticed it, but was unmoved.

She didn't find it strange. Although Shi Rui was not a child of the Shi family, she had been raised by the Shi family for more than ten years.

The relationship that I have had for so many years is not fake. I have been emotionally invested and received a response. Of course, I cannot take it back overnight.

Blood ties are important, but so are the feelings cultivated over time.

She still said that as long as Shi Rui didn't come to provoke her, she had no interest in causing any damage.

As for jealousy of Shi Rui...hehe, what is that?

"Mom, what are you talking about? How can anyone bully Rui'er? Rui'er was indeed ill some time ago. It took a few days to get better. Then the Chinese New Year came and she didn't even have time to recover." Shi Liren didn't even have time to recover.

When he was so satisfied that his mother had nothing to do, he said something that seemed to be directed at Xiao Jian.

If they would treat Rui'er harshly, why would they leave her here? Are they asking for trouble?

Shi Ruimu looked at Mrs. Shi pleadingly, "Grandma, my parents are really good to me. Don't blame them..."

In fact, she should be grateful that she can continue to stay. Who makes her not the real young lady of the Shi family?

"Okay, okay, don't worry, your grandma just cares about you too much. You don't even know that your grandma talks about you all day long. If it weren't for the fact that school is about to start after the Chinese New Year, we all want you to stay for a while.

Time." Zhong Huilan saw that the New Year atmosphere would be ruined if she continued to say this, so she quickly spoke out to resolve it.

Mrs. Shi didn't hold on to this matter anymore. She touched Shi Rui's head with a loving look in her eyes, "You will take the college entrance examination next year. Then apply to Beijing University!"

Then you can stay at Shi's house.

Shi Rui looked at Gu Danqiu subconsciously, as if asking for her opinion.

Gu Danqiu frowned.

Didn't their family already discuss the matter of applying for next year's college entrance examination? At that time, it was clearly stated that it was up to Rui'er to decide which school she wanted to apply for, and they would not interfere...

However, she didn't think much about it. Instead, she nodded to Shi Rui along with Mrs. Shi's words, "Your grandma is right. Applying to a university in the capital will make it easier to take care of her when the time comes."

Shi Rui was happy at first, but then she couldn't help but have doubts in her heart.

Is her mother really disappointed with her and doesn't like her anymore, so she wants to let her apply for a university in Beijing so that she can stay far away from home and she won't have to show up at home so often?

When she thought about it, her mood immediately dropped again, but she didn't dare to show anything, so she had to force a smile, as if she wanted to cry. Fortunately, she lowered her head, otherwise people in the room would not know what they would be thinking.

.

Shi Liren and his family came to the capital for New Year's greetings and stayed here for two days. Gu Danqiu also wanted to take Shi Jian around. After all, Xiao Jian had never been to the capital before. There are still a lot of fun and delicious places in the capital.

The most common thing to do during the Chinese New Year is of course to go to the temple to worship, which is what most people in the capital do. There are also grand temple fairs, which are very lively.

But on the second day, Shi Liye also became interested and called his family and said that it was rare to get together, so they might as well just go together because there were so many people and it was lively.

So the whole family drove off in two seven-seater business cars. Meng Jiaojiao didn't know what she was thinking, so she also joined in the fun. She even pulled Shi Rui into the car of Shi Liye's family and drove Shi Liye's youngest son away.

Got to another car.

Shi Liye's youngest son is a bit naive, and he doesn't know how to coax people. It is obvious that he is a simple and honest person, and he has played with Shi Ji since he was a child.

Seeing the two people sitting together and chatting in a friendly relationship, Shi Jian glanced at them meaningfully.

Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together.

Shi Ji is a fool himself, but can he get along with Shi Chen, who is also a fool?

Shi Ji's sensitive idea caught her eye and he glanced at her inexplicably.

What does she want to do? He’s celebrating the New Year, so don’t let him get scolded again!

Fortunately, Shi Jian quickly looked away.

The group went to the most famous temple in the capital. This temple has a history of more than three hundred years. Although it has experienced changes in dynasties and wars, it has been fortunate enough to be preserved and is quite well preserved.

The Buddha statue in the main hall of the temple has been sitting firmly in the main hall for more than three hundred years, just as before, watching the prosperity and decline of the world with compassionate eyes.

Shi Jian stepped into the hall without any psychological burden, knelt down on the futon with everyone, closed her eyes and still muttered something in her heart.

I hope she can quickly earn enough merit to return to the City of Wasted Death and reopen the door to the afterlife...

After chanting for a while, she opened her eyes, and when she met the compassionate eyes of the Buddha statue, she paused.

Why do you feel that something is wrong with the eyes of this Buddha statue?

She wondered if she had a guilty conscience, so she felt something was wrong when looking at the Buddha statue. So she opened her eyes and stared at the Buddha statue above without blinking, trying to confirm whether it was her problem.

"Xiao Jian, don't stare at the Buddha statue like that, the Buddha will blame you." After Gu Danqiu finished praying, he realized that his daughter was kneeling upright, but her eyes were too unrestrained, staring straight at the Buddha statue in front of her.

Shi Jian withdrew her gaze and asked, "Mom, do you think the eyes of this Buddha statue are a little strange?"

Gu Danqiu glanced at it casually, then quickly looked away, and said with an angry smile: "You kid, what are you thinking about? These Buddha statues are not all like this, how can there be anything strange or not strange?"

Moreover, the Buddha statue in this main hall has been there for more than 300 years. The Buddha statue has been sculpted since the beginning of the construction of this temple and has never changed. So how could there be anything strange?

Thinking that her daughter had grown up in a Taoist temple, Gu Danqiu consoled her: "Although there are more temples now, there are also Taoist temples. If you have time, mom will take you to those Taoist temples to worship."

Shi Jian: "..."

Any other princess in the city would be frightened by this suggestion.

Although she is not a ghost, she is a person from the underworld anyway, and she is not naturally compatible with Buddhas and immortals.

You should avoid visiting places like this in the future, after all, everyone is not on the same path!

Before Shi Jian stood up, she couldn't help but stare at the Buddha statue again. She still felt that something was wrong with the Buddha's eyes.

At first glance, it looks very compassionate and compassionate, but when I look at it a second time, I can see a... something evil. It doesn't look like a serious Buddha, but rather like an evil Buddha...

After leaving the hall, she quickly put away her doubts.

Maybe she is really paranoid. This temple and this Buddha statue have been circulated for more than three hundred years, and they have received countless incense. If there is a problem, it should be cured by the incense.

Gu Danqiu has been to this temple several times, and the scenery is still very good. In addition, there was a heavy snowfall in the capital two years ago, and the temperature has been low these days, and the snow has not yet melted. Now I just happened to go up the mountain to see the snow scene.

Shi Jian was still very interested in seeing the snow scene. She had never seen snow before... maybe she had never seen it before, right? She couldn't even remember how many years she had stayed in Wushit City.

It probably didn't happen before, otherwise she wouldn't have any memory at all.

Gu Danqiu started to jump a little when he saw Shi Jian walking in front of her. She changed from being mature and calm at home, and now she looked like a seventeen-year-old girl.

Looking at her daughter, a loving smile unconsciously appeared on her lips, and her eyes were full of love for her daughter.

It's just that I still feel a little regretful that I missed my daughter's growth.

The four brothers of the Shi family also felt a little strange when they saw Shi Jian acting like this.

They thought that their biological sister was just a little old-fashioned, but she was a little old lady! It turned out that she was really still a child!

As for why he is not an adult yet but has a calmer temperament than many adults, there is no need to think too much about it.

Even Shi Ji felt a feeling of brotherly affection in his heart for a while, and secretly thought to himself that it would be better to give her a little more grace in the future, because he was her fourth brother!

While walking, Shi Ji got playful, bent down and grabbed a handful of snow, kneaded it into a ball, and threw it towards Shi Jian in front of him - the ball of snow just hit Shi Jian.

She stopped and turned around with a sullen face - the three brothers of the Shi family all pointed at Shi Ji, showing that they were innocent.

Shi Jian looked at Shi Ji and narrowed his eyes.

How dare you hit her with snow?!
