Chapter 367 Your Eyes
"The way the Duke looked at me? What kind of look was that?" Shangguan Jin asked instinctively.
Dongmai sighed.
"It's...it's that kind of...eyes that only see you, and you can't see anyone else."
"Just smile at him, and he'll have that silly, goofy look in his eyes, even if there's a fire." Dongmai gestured.
Shangguan Jin...
Isn't that the look of a fool?
Forehead......
Okay, this must be what people mean when they say someone has a look in their eyes that can't see anyone else!
However, this must be the way the former Duke of Dingguo looked at the former Shangguan Jin!
The current Shen Huaichen...
Even if he cultivated for eight lifetimes, he still couldn't develop that kind of gaze...
"Then... what should we do? Maybe they just happened to run into each other, and then they went shopping together or had a meal together."
"Isn't this normal?" Shangguan Jin said with a smile.
Winter wheat...
normal......
Well, now that the young lady has the title of princess, it seems like she can do whatever she wants.
Otherwise, why would all those idle people in the capital be discussing which young master would become Princess Pingning's first lover...?
“Young Master Lian often sends books and ancient paintings to Miss,” Dongmai said.
“That’s normal! Sister Yao likes to read travelogues and miscellaneous notes. Even you, young master, have connections to get your hands on these books,” Shangguan Jin said.
"Young Master Lian also frequently sends Miss some novel foods, from all over the country," Dongmai continued.
Shangguan Jin...
Well, that's a little too much concern, but they've known each other for many years, more than most people, so it seems normal...
"Young Master Lian also gave Miss a lot of little trinkets."
The lotus lanterns of Nanjing, the giant auspicious animal of Jiangnan, all sorts of little trinkets made of seashells from the south, and even some made of coconut shells.
Ignoring Shangguan Jin's expression, Dongmai continued speaking.
Shangguan Jin...
"How...did you know?" Shangguan Jin asked.
“Even when Young Master Lian brings things, he never does it secretly; he always brings them openly and honestly!”
Also, I often go to the young lady's room, so of course I can see it.
"Young Miss has placed all those things in prominent positions in the room!" Dongmai said earnestly.
Shangguan Jin's first thought was that Shen Qingyue and Lian Qianli had secretly exchanged vows and pledged their lives to each other...
Then, many scenes from traditional novels began to appear in her mind.
There's the issue of social inequality, elopement, and even the plot of digging for wild vegetables...
wrong!
Shen Qingyue has found someone she likes; she should be happy!
Whether you're married or not, as long as you have someone you like, that's fine, even if it's just being a gigolo.
"Let's go! Let's go check on Yao'er's room." Shangguan Jin immediately got up.
Shen Qingyu is not home at the moment. She said she was going to Chunbuwan when she left in the morning, and she probably won't be back until the evening when the lights are on.
While she's away, I'll take a good look at what's in her room.
Upon hearing this, Dongmai quickly helped Shangguan Jin walk towards Shen Qingyue's courtyard.
Dongmai kept talking the whole way.
“I asked Yun Niang, and she said that when she was working as a tea master at Chun Bu Wan, our young lady would only go to Chun Bu Wan.”
Even if it makes Young Master Lian feel good.
After our young lady leaves, Young Master Lian will stand in the room on the second floor facing the street, watching her carriage leave.
Also, whenever Chun Buwan's steward was going to Jiangnan, Young Master Lian would always instruct him to bring back some trinkets.
......”
Dongmai's words confirmed Shangguan Jin's suspicions: perhaps even Qianli's feelings for Shen Qingyue were genuinely different.
What we don't know now is how Shen Qingyue feels about him...
The two slowly walked to Shen Qingyue's courtyard.
As soon as the maids saw Shangguan Jin arrive, they hurriedly came out to greet her.
"You all go about your business, I'll go to Sister Yao's room to find a book," Shangguan Jin said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the maids immediately went about their own business.
The lady did not like others to serve her.
Now, Madam only allows Aunt Dongmai to accompany her, and even Madam's wet nurse, Mama Lin, doesn't accompany her much anymore.
Shangguan Jin brought Dongmai into Shen Qingyue's room.
Shen Qingyue's room was spacious and bright.
The main house has three rooms: the one on the left is a study, the one in the middle is a hall, and the one on the right is a bedroom for rest.
Needless to say, everything in the hall is of the highest quality; the vases, ornaments, tables, and chairs are all top-notch.
Shangguan Jin first took Dongmai to the study.
Upon entering, the first thing you see is a large desk.
There were writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones all on it, and the brushes of different sizes on the brush holder were hung neatly.
Looking around, Shangguan Jin saw a white vase placed by the window.
"This was sent by Young Master Lian. I heard it's made of jade. Yun Niang said that there aren't even five pieces of this quality that can be found in Dayu," Dongmai introduced from the side.
Shangguan Jin didn't speak, and looked at the desk again.
There is a small, black pen holder on the desk.
Shangguan Jin picked it up and took a look.
It's not porcelain, nor wood, but jade...
“This seems to have been sent by Young Master Lian as well; I heard it’s made of black jade,” Dongmai said, leaning closer.
Shangguan Jin remained silent and continued watching.
Several travelogues were on Shen Qingyue's desk, and Shangguan Jin picked one up casually.
It's already marked in the travelogue, but...
There are two types of my own annotations, one of which is Shen Qingyue's elegant handwriting.
There's another type of handwriting that seems to be from Lian Qianli...
Shangguan Jin had almost figured it out.
Actually... Shen Qingyue probably has some feelings for Lian Qianli too!
"Let's go check out the bedroom!" Shangguan Jin said with a smile.
Dongmai then helped Shangguan Jin to Shen Qingyue's bedroom.
Shen Qingyue's bedroom was similar to that of a typical young lady from a wealthy family.
Upon entering, one is greeted by a faint fragrance, a meticulously crafted canopy bed, and matching cabinets, tables, and chairs...
The only difference is that other people's young ladies have exquisite porcelain, jade, and gold artifacts in their rooms.
However, Shen Qingyue's room was filled with some exquisite little trinkets.
Things like large boats woven from bamboo...
The most eye-catching thing is the pair of large, adorable amulets placed on the bedside table shelf...
Shen Qingyue should see these two big amulets first thing every morning when she wakes up.
Shangguan Jin smiled as she looked at the pair of large amulets.
"It won't be too late to visit Chun another day. I'll also ask Young Master Lian to bring me some Da Afu from Jiangnan," Shangguan Jin said with a smile.
Winter wheat nodded.
Yes, she wants some too. Having two big Afu figures in the room makes the room feel instantly more alive...
Wait a minute, how come Miss is thinking about this now?
"Miss, would you like to ask the eldest young lady?"
"Don't ask, she'll tell you herself when the time comes."
What if it only feels good now, but you feel it's not good after a while?
"She's not a child!" Shangguan Jin insisted on not asking.
The winter wheat is in a bit of a rush.
Just because the young lady isn't a child anymore, shouldn't we be even more anxious...?
