Chapter 514 Shen Guan Extra
General's Mansion.
"Third brother, what are you looking at?"
Shen Zhou was curious, so he pulled his brother's thigh. He followed his brother's line of sight and finally saw a familiar little lantern.
"Third brother, this lantern looks so familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere." Shen Zhou patted his head thoughtfully, but could not come up with a conclusion: "Where is it..."
Shen Guan came back to his senses. Hearing this, he was actually flustered for a moment, but he suppressed it and spoke venomously as always: "Have you finished your homework? You still have time to run to my room. I'll tell your teacher later."
Shen Zhou's thoughts were interrupted instantly, and his face changed drastically: "Third brother, I just came out to relax and will be back soon. You can't tell the teacher!"
Shen Guan hugged his shoulders and raised his eyebrows: "Then why don't you go back quickly."
"Hey, third brother, just let me relax." Shen Zhou shook his head like a little adult: "I just attended the wedding of Tang Biao... the Queen yesterday, so don't keep urging me."
Shen Zhou thought of yesterday and laughed: "Third brother, you don't know, cousin Tang looks so beautiful in her wedding dress! She is the most beautiful bride I have ever seen!"
Shen Zhou was so excited that he did not notice his brother's dazed look.
"Go!" Shen Guan's eyes were dim, and he slapped his brother on the back: "I'm busy."
"Third brother, what are you busy with?"
"What does it have to do with you? You're just a kid, you don't understand."
Shen Zhou curled his lips, but then he was really afraid that his brother and teacher would complain, so he ran away quickly.
On his way back, he finally remembered something in his mind. When he was almost reaching his yard, he slapped his head and suddenly realized something.
"No wonder I felt that lantern looked so familiar, wasn't it the one cousin Tang gave us before? Third brother actually still has it!"
"Brother Zhou."
A voice was heard, Shen Zhou looked up and saw his mother standing there, her usually gentle expression now quite serious.
"Mother, mother."
"come over."
Shen Zhou walked over nervously, thinking that he had been discovered for not finishing his homework. Unexpectedly, he heard his mother say, "Brother Zhou, you can't call me cousin from now on. You have to call me Queen."
Shen Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was not about homework. He nodded quickly: "Mom, I understand."
Mrs. Shen nodded, called her youngest son into the house, and asked about the lanterns as if casually.
Shen Zhou was young and unguarded, so he spoke directly.
"Mother, last time my third brother, Jingheng, and I went back to our hometown to worship our ancestors, we came back and rested at my aunt's farm. At that time, the Queen Mother was also there. It was almost the New Year, so the Queen Mother gave me, Jingheng, and my third brother a lantern each."
When Mrs. Shen heard this, she immediately thought of the scene she saw during the spring hunt. Her son obviously saw something wrong with Tang'er. Her heart sank, her expression became more serious, and she touched her youngest son's head: "You just said that your third brother has kept the lantern?"
"Yes." Shen Zhou nodded: "That lantern is very beautiful, I like it too, but it was broken when I was playing with Jing Heng before. I didn't expect that Third Brother's is still in such good condition. He must like that lantern very much, too."
As Shen Zhou spoke, he felt that something was wrong with his mother, and he thought he had said something wrong.
"Mother... mother?"
Mrs. Shen hugged him and said, "Brother Zhou, don't tell anyone about the lantern in the future. Just pretend you don't know, okay?"
Shen Zhou was puzzled: "Why?"
"Your third brother's lamp was actually broken a long time ago. That one was given to him by mother. You made a mistake."
"Ah?" Shen Zhou was confused, but after seeing his mother's eyes, he believed it: "So it was bought by mother. I was wondering, ours are all broken, how could the third brother's be still good!"
After giving instructions to her youngest son, Mrs. Shen asked him to do his homework and went to Shen Guan's yard.
Shen Guan was a little surprised to see Mrs. Shen coming over.
"Why is mother here?"
Mrs. Shen looked around the room, and finally her eyes fell on the lantern on the desk.
Perhaps it was because her eyes were too explicit, the smile on Shen Guan's face gradually disappeared.
"Brother Guan..." Madam Shen said softly, "You are already eighteen years old this year. Mother came here to talk to you about your marriage."
"Mother, there's no rush."
Shen Guan clenched his fists.
Mrs. Shen looked at her son's expression, and her guess finally came true: "Then how long do you want to delay it?"
Shen Guan lowered his eyes: "When fate arrives, everything will be fine."
Mrs. Shen stepped forward, and before Shen Guan could stop her, she reached out and picked up the lantern. She said in a cryptic way, "Brother Guan, this lantern is nice, but it doesn't quite fit your house."
Shen Guan's face turned pale. He was a man with a sharp tongue in the past, but now he was at a loss for words. He only said: "What mother is talking about is just a lantern."
"Mother would rather it was just a lantern."
Shen Guan remained silent.
Mrs. Shen looked at her son and said, "Brother Guan, no matter how much you like this lantern, you can't harm it."
Shen Guanjue said: "I just like this lantern, what's the harm in keeping it?"
The mother and son knew it very well. Mrs. Shen said directly: "But it's not yours, is it?"
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Mrs. Shen left with one sentence: "You can't hurt her."
After Madam Shen left, Shen Guan sat there all night. The next day, when Shen Zhou went to his brother's room again, he no longer saw the lantern...
