When Shen Liyue saw the jewelry in the box again, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
There were twelve pieces in total, all made of pure gold, and two of the hairpins were even inlaid with rubies.
Even in her dream, Shen Liyue was reluctant to part with such a precious gift. She took it with her into the Yong'an Marquis Mansion as a dowry, but she never had the chance to take it out and wear it again.
Seeing that Shen Liyue's eyes were red, Shen's mother said: "What's wrong? Are you happy and stupid?"
When Shen Liyue heard this, she jumped into Shen’s mother’s arms and acted coquettishly: “Mother, you are so good to your daughter.”
"Why, is your father not good to you?" Chen Wangqiu pretended to be angry and asked her while twirling his beard.
"Isn't my brother good?" Shen Weian was not polite and honestly gave Shen Liyue a slap on the head.
"Hehe," Shen Liyue was not angry when her brother played a flick on her. Her heart was filled with cherishment, and she smiled and said, "It's all good, all good."
There is a reason why Chen Liyue is grateful to her mother. The Shen family is said to be a noble family. The family has not been divided since her father's generation. The other two uncles are busy with idle official positions. It is not easy to support such a large family with her father's salary. Where would she get the extra money to make such a set of solid gold jewelry for Chen Liyue?
But Shen Liyue's mother, Jiang, was different. She was a descendant of a merchant family. Her grandmother had only given birth to her, a daughter. While merchants were at the bottom of the social hierarchy, money made the world go round. So, Jiang had never suffered any hardship since childhood. If Shen Wangqiu hadn't personally proposed marriage, repeatedly promising no concubines and a single-minded devotion to a couple, her grandmother would have been reluctant to marry Jiang off to her father.
Seeing Shen Liyue's happy look, Shen Weian said, "Are you so happy? When you get married, brother will give you a good set!"
Hearing the word "wedding", Shen Liyue's expression was a little unnatural.
"Father and mother, I don't want to get married." Shen Liyue bit her lip. Thinking of the things in that "dream", Shen Liyue couldn't help but feel a chill on her back.
Shen's father and mother thought she was just shy and said, "Silly child, when a girl grows up, how can she not get married?"
Shen Weian didn't worry about it and waved his hand, "Father and mother don't worry, my sister won't get married, I will support her for the rest of her life."
Father and Mother Shen looked at each other. Shen Wangqiu felt a little unhappy. What nonsense was he talking about!
But considering that Shen Liyue was about to come of age and still had a lot of chores to do, he said nothing, waved his hand, and told Shen Weian and Shen Liyue to go out.
In the past, Chen Wangqiu had always felt that his daughter was still young, and with her innocent personality, she always seemed to have not grown up. Now that she was about to reach the age of marriage, this beloved daughter, doted on by the whole family, would eventually have to get married.
Once a woman gets married, it’s a whole new world. Chen Wangqiu knew that the Shen family and the Fang family had a marriage contract. He had also seen the Fang family’s son, who was outstanding in both talent and appearance. The Fang family was also well-off, so his daughter would not be wronged if she married into the family.
Even if his daughter suffered any injustice, he, her father, would support her from behind.
Back in the room, Shen Liyue thought carefully. The day of her coming of age would be soon. In that "dream", one year after her coming of age, the Fang family came to propose marriage. Four years later, the Shen family was ransacked. If that "dream" was true, then there were still five years before the Shen family was ransacked.
Shen Liyue secretly made up her mind: at least in the next five years, she must not get married, or in other words, she must not leave the Shen Mansion.
A few days later, the coming-of-age ceremony arrived. Lian Dong and Yu Zhou dragged Chen Liyue out of bed early in the morning and made her sit in front of the dressing table. She was half asleep and let them toss her around.
When they were done washing and dressing, the maid outside came in and called out, "Miss, Madam sent someone to ask about the guests who have arrived. If you are ready, please come over quickly."
"I understand!" Lian Dong agreed, but before he could open the door, it was pushed open from the outside.
The two young ladies walked together, both of them looked young and pretty.
Xie Wanting pinned a crabapple blossom on her temples today, making her look bright and lively.
Lu Yun, however, had two strings of silver bells hanging on her ears, and the crisp ringing of the bells when she walked was very pleasing to the ear.
Seeing these two close friends, Shen Liyue's eyes reddened slightly as if they had met again after a long separation.
Xie and Lu didn't notice anything unusual about Shen Liyue. They just looked at the red gold jewelry on her head and couldn't help but admire it. It was so beautiful...
"Tomorrow I'll ask my father to make me one too!" Lu Yun said with a smile.
"Well, well, then I want my father to make me one too!" Xie Wanting refused to be outdone.
Lu Yun was a princess, and she had everything she wanted. Xie Wanting's father was also the prime minister, so how could she be without such a beautiful headgear? Shen Liyue knew that the two of them were just saying this to make her happy, and it was all because of the affection between sisters.
The three little girls were laughing together, and it was the nanny beside Lu Yun who reminded them that it was time to go to the front hall.
The three of them walked into the front hall together, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
Everyone's attention was drawn to these three people, and the one who attracted the most attention was of course today's protagonist, Shen Liyue.
After a moment of hesitation, a woman immediately came up with a smile, took Shen Liyue's hand and introduced her to everyone.
"Look who's here?"
Shen Liyue withdrew her hand without a trace. This woman was her second aunt, He Yinxue's aunt, He.
"Look quickly, this is our protagonist today. Speaking of our Shen family, no one can compare to our eldest daughter in terms of beauty."
Chen Liyue knew that what He said was not the truth. She remembered everything from her past life.
