Chapter 346 Jade Safety Buckle
Shen Yunqi helped his sister up from the ground. "Alright, that's all. Go change your clothes. Is your head feeling heavy?"
She knew he was trying to cheer her up and stop her from crying.
Shen Buyu sniffed and asked, "Brother, do I look good dressed like this?"
"She looks great in everything. My sister looks good in everything."
"Then I won't take it off. This outfit is too tiring to wear. I want to look beautiful for a while longer." Shen Buyu rarely wears Hanfu.
This outfit was specially ordered for her by her mother for today.
She said that this way the photos would look better, and it would also appear more formal when facing one's ancestors.
"Don't cry, eldest daughter of Shen Zhiye," Shen Yanzhou handed over a handkerchief, "your eldest brother will give you a gift when you get home."
While wiping away her tears, Shen Buyu said, "I received so many gifts during the Chinese New Year. If you give me any more, I don't want to go to school anymore and I'll just stay home and lie down."
"Even if you lie down, Dad can still support you." Shen Zhiye was more sentimental than a child, and came over with red eyes. He looked her up and down, "My daughter is so beautiful."
From today onwards, Buyu is his biological daughter.
My wife had to tell me, otherwise I really would have cried.
“Silent girl.” Old Master Shen walked over.
Shen Buyu immediately wiped away her tears and stood up obediently, "Grandpa."
Grandpa Shen grunted in agreement and took a box from the person next to him.
Opening it reveals a natural jade safety buckle, its entire surface a pure, flawless green.
Grandpa Shen reached out and handed it to Shen Buyu, saying succinctly, "It's yours."
Shen Zhiye's eyes lit up, and he quickly said to his daughter, "Buyu, hurry up and accept this to thank Grandpa."
Shen Buyu did as instructed, took the box and carefully put it away, saying, "Thank you, Grandpa."
Seeing this, the relatives nearby whispered among themselves, "That must have been left by Madam Shen. The old man treasured it so much, he wouldn't even give it to his own grandson, why would he give it to her?"
"That's true. She's someone's granddaughter, so of course we should give her something meaningful as a gift."
"That makes sense."
Shen Buyu heard this and looked at Shen Zhiye with a questioning gaze, who nodded.
Lan Xinyan whispered in her ear, "He couldn't bear to give it to Yanzhou's mother or me."
Shen Buyu gripped the box even tighter with both hands.
She turned to look at Old Master Shen, who had already gone to chat with the clan chief.
“Dad,” Shen Buyu called to Shen Zhiye.
"Hey, daughter, Daddy's here," Shen Zhiye said with a beaming smile. "What's up, daughter?"
Shen Buyu's voice was soft, "Dad, is it possible that Grandpa doesn't dislike us?"
Shen Zhiye's smile froze for a moment. He looked at his father's back, then at his daughter who was full of expectation. "Um, daughter, well... maybe, after all, we're family, and we're closer when it matters."
His gaze fell on the box in his daughter's hand.
Perhaps it's not so bad?
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been willing to give the safety amulet left by her mother to her child.
But his father... tsk... is either a stubborn, grumpy old man with a soft heart.
Firecrackers and fireworks were set off outside the ancestral hall for a full hour.
Shen Zhiye's face was tired from smiling so much as his relatives congratulated him, but he kept smiling.
Old Master Shen, finding the noise too noisy, left first with the clan leader and several elders.
Shen Buyu followed Shen Zhiye to introduce them to relatives.
“Zhiye, I liked your child at first sight. Birds of a feather flock together. Come to think of it, our Shen family has been getting better and better since this child came. He is a lucky star for our whole family.”
Shen Zhiye: "Of course, of course, I always said you have the best taste in the family."
Once you've got a starting point, you'll know which direction to flatter.
The entire group gathered around, offering silent praise.
She got a little carried away by all the praise.
"Dad, we can't listen to this anymore, or I'll get arrogant!" Shen Buyu tugged at Shen Zhiye's sleeve and whispered.
"You should be proud! Think about it carefully, what about our family isn't something that makes you proud! Good boy, keep being proud, Dad will back you up."
Lan Xinyan, along with Shen Yanzhou and Shen Yunqi, complained about Shen Zhiye.
"Your dad will have three more wrinkles on his face when he gets home today." Lan Xinyan ate a pastry but still wasn't full. "Yanzhou, get me another one."
Shen Yanzhou handed over the snack box, a smile on his face, "Don't mention my dad, I'm happy too."
Having received a Western education for many years, he didn't have much feeling for traditional family and genealogy.
Live in the moment and enjoy the present.
But just now, from the moment he entered the ancestral hall and saw the tears welling up in his sister's eyes, he realized how important these things were to her.
"Can you hurry up? Old Shen, you're so slow. I'm starving." Shen Yunqi casually picked up a piece of pastry. "My sister has several pounds of gold on her head. Her neck will be stiff in a minute."
"Stop talking nonsense, go see if they've taken your sister's clothes to the lounge yet? Your dad and I need to go there first, you two keep Buyu company while she changes."
"Okay," Shen Yunqi stood up and stretched. "Big brother, just bring Buyu over later."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Yunqi."
"What's so hard about it? Yanzhou, don't be so polite to him in the future. Just let him do what he needs to do." After Lan Xinyan finished speaking, she put a piece of peanut brittle in his hand. "Have a bite to tide you over. Your dad really knows how to talk."
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Lan." Shen Yanzhou chuckled.
It's not just Bu Yu who is being cared for.
Shen Zhiye loves his daughter the most.
After introducing my daughter to several eloquent elders and peers and achieving the desired effect, I immediately let her rest.
"The people I introduced you to just now are a few very tactful relatives. When you see them in the future, just greet them. They know what's going on and won't dare to talk badly about you behind your back. As for the others, you can choose whether or not to meet them."
Although Shen Buyu was physically tired, a smile remained on his lips. "It's not that my relatives are shrewd; it's that my father is powerful. Because of your high status in the family, no one dares to look down on me."
Shen Zhiye's smile stretched almost to his ears.
This girl is so eloquent; she belongs to his family.
"Dad, Buyu should go change her clothes. Aunt Lan is waiting for you over there." Shen Yanzhou came over and helped his younger sister pat her head.
"Alright, go ahead, you must be exhausted." Shen Zhiye smiled as he watched his son and daughter leave.
The brother and sister had only walked a few steps when they were stopped by a female relative.
Shen Buyu remembered her. She first said that she was like her father's biological daughter, and then she said that she was a Fuwa (a mascot of the 2008 Beijing Olympics). "Hello, Auntie."
"Hello, hello, good child, you still remember me, that's amazing," the aunt praised first, then continued, "I'm here for nothing else, but you should talk to Young Master Si about my brother's company."
Shen Yanzhou and Shen Buyu understood at the same time.
No wonder she, an outsider, kept praising Chen Buyu and getting everyone around her to shower him with compliments.
So there's someone else behind it all.
