Chapter 395 Everyone loves beauty!
After hearing what was said above, Shen Youyou would definitely refuse. Even if she really wanted to go, she didn't want to go with this baby-faced guy. This guy fits the description in novels: the kind of naive young man who is most likely to fall in love with a peasant girl.
But when she heard about the golden head ornaments, she was shamefully moved. A set of head ornaments and several golden hairpins could be divided among her mother and grandmother. Then her trip to the Lantern Festival would not be in vain.
Seeing that Shen Youyou was still expressionless and silent, Wei Yichen added: "How about we compete? If I lose, I will give you this jade pendant."
But when Shen Youyou heard this, her eyes changed immediately. What a stupid young man who doesn't understand the ways of the world. Who does he treat as a beggar?
Fu Huaian and Ning Yu also noticed the change in Shen Youyou's eyes. Fu Huaian pulled Wei Yichen and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Ning Yu also bowed to Shen Youyou and apologized, "Miss Shen, Yichen didn't mean anything else. He is a straightforward person."
Fu Huai'an was more direct. He said, "He didn't think before he spoke. Sorry."
Wei Yichen was still confused, but Xiao Zhe pulled him aside and whispered, "How many times have I told you that I am a girl? How can I accept your jade pendant?"
At this time, Wei Yichen realized that he had said the wrong thing again. He also clasped his hands and said, "Well, I don't mean anything else. I just want to compete with you. I have never lost in guessing lantern riddles before."
Only then did Shen Youyou feel better. Of course, she was not angry because men could not give women jade pendants. She cared about the other party. She casually took out a jade pendant that looked very expensive and said it was a bet.
Although their family may not be able to afford this jade pendant now, not being able to afford it at the moment does not mean that they will not be able to afford it in their lifetime.
She was in a better mood now, also because she could see that this baby-faced guy really had no scheming and didn't know how to talk.
Of course, some people might say, "Why are you being so pretentious? That jade pendant is quite valuable. When you were fleeing from famine, you even knelt down to beg for food."
But Shen Youyou thought that even if this happened to his father, he would not accept it at this time and place.
Because things are different now than before, they have settled down steadily, and they may be able to bow down in the face of life and death, but people can't just kneel down forever, right?
In fact, she thought about a lot of things, and the time that passed was just a moment. There was no expression on Shen Youyou's face, but Fu Huai'an felt that this Miss Shen seemed to accept the apology.
And A Chi, for a moment, seemed to see the expression of the little wolf cub again.
But he felt dazzled because the other person's eyes didn't change at all.
Shen Youyou said, "Luming, come down. Don't let the young general hold you. He'll get his clothes dirty."
Although Shen Luming is young, he is very smart. He felt that his sister was a little unhappy just now, and was about to ask the little general brother to put him down.
Ah Chi, who had wanted to pet the baby for a long time, took it immediately and said, "It's okay, I'll hold him. He's so small, if he walks by himself, he'll get bumped into."
Shen Youyou saw that it was not Fu Huaian who was holding the baby, and nodded. Someone of that status was not suitable to hold a baby for their family.
"Then lead the way."
Seeing that Shen Youyou agreed, Wei Yichen immediately put on a smile and walked in front to lead the way.
Fu Huaian and his companions followed behind, and then A Chi who was holding Shen Luming.
Shen Youyou took her sisters and kept a distance from them so that outsiders could not tell that they were walking together.
She whispered to her sisters, "Aunts and sisters, please stand away from them later."
Shen Erya pouted: "It's not fun anymore with them around."
Shen Youyou wanted to agree with this, but she wanted to win the upper hand, and they were still holding her brother, so she couldn't just abandon them.
However, the dull atmosphere changed after walking for a while when we saw a brother and sister performing arts.
At their age, they are very curious and are willing to come forward when they see anything delicious or fun.
At this time, whether it was the four young men in front, A Chi holding the child, or Shen Youyou, they were all attracted by the two siblings.
At such a celebratory moment, many people are willing to spend a little money to satisfy their desire to watch the fun.
Therefore, a crowd of people gathered around the performance stall.
"Fellow villagers of Shuntian Prefecture, those who have money can show their support with money, and those who don't can show their support with their presence. My sister and I have just arrived in Kyoto. In order to raise money for my father's medical treatment, we have come here to perform. I hope you will show us your support."
The boy who was speaking was about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was wearing a black coarse cloth shorts. Although it was washed white, it was clean and tidy.
Behind him, there was a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a short green coarse cloth shirt, and was also very capable. There was also a man next to her, who was pale and haggard, and coughed from time to time.
The people watching immediately started talking about it: "What a filial son!"
"Yeah, looking at his father's expression, it must be true."
"Then let's take a look. It's a token of our appreciation."
It seems that the people of Shuntian Prefecture are still kind-hearted, so Shen Youyou and the others also stopped.
Moreover, this young man had good martial arts skills and was proficient in all eighteen martial arts. Waves of cheers rang out from the crowd.
After a while, the girl came with a gong and started collecting money. Shen Youyou was in a trance again. It felt like she was watching Xiaoyanzi and others performing for a living in a TV drama.
Everybody donated generously. Those who had money gave some change, and those who had no money gave a copper or two. The girl always had a smile on her face and bowed sincerely to express her gratitude.
Shen Youyou also left one or two taels of silver.
Of course, the four young masters could only give more.
Because she heard the girl shout several times: "Thank you, Master."
After seeing that everyone had come out, Wei Yichen continued to lead the way. As a result, it became more and more lively, and there were even foreign Hu girls dancing.
Shen Youyou's eyes lit up. It had been a long time since she saw a beautiful young lady dressed so coolly.
It was almost the same as what she saw on TV, with graceful and extremely beautiful dance moves.
She wanted to watch it for a while longer, but was dragged away by her sister and aunts. Wang Taohua even muttered to Shen Youyou: "Youyou, don't watch that again in the future, or I'll tell grandma."
Shen Daya also warned with a serious face: "Look at the crowd, there are no girls, only men are looking at them."
Shen Erya's eyes were bright, and she whispered, "But I think it's pretty."
Shen Youyou hugged Erya and said, "Sister, you are my confidant!"
Noticing that Shen Youyou and the others hadn’t caught up, the five people who stopped and waited said, “Ahem!”
When Shen Youyou heard the voice, she immediately regained her composure, as if she was not the one who had just spoken and wanted to watch others belly dance.
Shen Luming was held by A Chi. Although she didn't quite understand what was going on, she inexplicably felt that her sister was a little embarrassed.
Ah Chi really didn't see Shen Youyou as a girl, so she looked at Shen Youyou with a glare: "I didn't expect that Mr. Shen... would like exotic dances."
He felt that it was not appropriate to call her Miss Shen at this time. Anyway, she was wearing men's clothes and did not look like a girl, so he just called her Young Master.
Shen Youyou was quite satisfied with this title, gave him a look that said "you are very knowledgeable", and said seriously: "Everyone loves beauty!"
