Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Since she was frightened by the Black General last time, Shangguan Qingwan never set foot in Panguiyuan again. She once went to complain to Old Lady Shangguan, crying, but returned in vain.

It was true that the old lady favored her younger son, but the premise was that the eldest son didn't care. If Shangguan Chong was really angry, she would be a little scared. She couldn't do such a blatant thing against the eldest son.

After being frustrated for so many days, Shangguan Qingwan finally waited until the Mid-Autumn Festival. She thought day and night about how to turn the situation around. The maid Lu Ping beside her glanced at her master, rolled her eyes and said flatteringly:

"Miss, no matter what, first we have to find a way to outdo the Second Miss in terms of dressing."

Shangguan Qingwan couldn't help but frown.

"What I want is for that wild girl to embarrass herself in front of her family, and even better, to be too embarrassed to face anyone! Is it enough to just outshine her?

If you can't come up with a good idea, just shut up. I'm upset just listening to you!"

After being scolded by her master, Lu Ping's face turned red with shame. She reluctantly stepped aside, biting her lip and thinking hard. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind, so she walked closer and said in a low voice:

"Miss, let's..."

The master and servant hid in the room, whispering to each other, and no one knew what they were planning.

At this time, Shangguan Qingyue, whom they were talking about, was sitting in the study, staring at the things on the table.

It was a return gift from the Third Prince's Mansion. Just looking at the box containing the gift made people reluctant to let it go. Shangguan Qingyue finally understood why someone would buy the box and return the pearl.

It is inlaid with colorful gems all around, with a quail egg-sized pearl in the middle, plus the intricate patterns carved all around the box and the pleasant wood fragrance it exudes.

Even if she didn't know the value of the box, Shangguan Qingyue was sure that it was worth a lot of money. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little nervous and didn't dare to open the box.

She shook her head helplessly, laughing at her own self-conceit. That man was the extremely noble Third Prince, so it was natural for him to give her something out of courtesy. What was she worried about?

He exhaled, opened the box, and the moment he saw what was inside, Shangguan Qingyue was completely stunned.

Inside was a bright green jade ring!

If Shangguan Qingyue didn't know that there was no particular requirement for rings in this time and space, she would have been unable to help but have wild thoughts.

In the past, in order to adapt to the finger sizes of different people, most of the rings designed were open-ended, but the one in front of her was a closed-end ring made of jade. How could the other party know the size of her finger? Even she herself didn't know!

Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but stretch out two fingers and pinched the emerald green ring in her hand. After a closer look, she found that there was a very delicate peach... no, it was a pear flower carved on the ring!

After measuring the size of the ring, she tried to put the ring on her left ring finger, and it went on very smoothly...

This person, why is this person...

Shangguan Qingyue covered her burning cheeks with her hands in a panic and shook her head several times. She couldn't help but muttered softly:

"Impossible, it's definitely not what I thought! This must be a coincidence!"

Although she kept denying it, this delicate and small ring still planted a seed in the little girl's heart.

If there is continuous water in the future, it will sprout and grow. Otherwise, it will turn into dust silently.

……

The old lady and the old man were old, and if they had too much dinner, it might cause stomach discomfort. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn family dinner was scheduled for noon.

The old couple had only two sons in their life. The eldest was loyal to his wife, while the second had a concubine but she had no children yet.

Therefore, the Shangguan family has a very simple population, and the younger generations are all obedient and sensible, so there is not much liveliness even when they get together.

The old lady looked at the whole family and couldn't help but sigh. She looked at the eldest daughter-in-law and asked:

"Old family, our Song'er will be an adult next year, and you as a mother have to hurry up! People his age probably already have two children, so when will I be able to hold my great-grandson in my arms?"

Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Baili Nanqing replied:

"Mother may have forgotten that Song'er and the Wu family's daughter broke off their engagement not long ago. If you rush to introduce this child, you will only be criticized."

She really forgot.

But when this matter was mentioned, the old lady felt upset. That was the only legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue! How could this marriage be called off just like that? !

"That child has always been thoughtful and has given me gifts during every festival. He just made a small mistake. How could he end up canceling the engagement? Song'er..."

Before she finished speaking, Shangguan Song immediately interrupted:

"Grandma, today is a rare good day, let's not talk about those unhappy things! It's getting late, how about we start the banquet now?"

The old lady had a lot to say but was blocked in her heart, which made her feel choked and her face looked a little ugly for a while.

Master Shangguan, who had been silent the whole time, snorted coldly and stood up first to help his mother. He also said in a gentle voice:

"Mom, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so don't worry about that. From now on, you can just enjoy your life and not do anything that is thankless."

Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Her second uncle was quite sharp-tongued and his words were full of ulterior motives!

After everyone was seated, the maids and servants came in and served the dishes in an orderly manner, and then left respectfully one by one. Shangguan Qingwan walked to the old lady obediently and said with a smile:

"Grandma, how about your granddaughter serve you some food? I'm sure I'll pick out your favorite dishes, hehe..."

In fact, there was a maid on the scene who was specifically responsible for serving the food, but since the little granddaughter was so thoughtful, the old lady would naturally not refuse.

Shangguan Qingwan held a white jade porcelain plate and a pair of silver chopsticks in her hands, and picked up the light and soft food from the plate with very elegant movements.

She seemed to have suddenly remembered the old man, and she said with a sigh:

"Look at me, I actually forgot about my grandfather." She looked around helplessly, and finally set her sights on Shangguan Qingyue who was still eating, and a flash of disgust appeared in her eyes.

"Second sister" Shangguan Qingyue didn't raise her head until she called him three times in a row, pointing at herself and asking:

"Are you calling me, Sister Qingwan? Sorry, I'm not used to this name yet, so I didn't react for a moment."

Shangguan Qingwan took a few deep breaths, suppressed her anger, forced a smile and said:

"Don't blame me, second sister. After all, you just came back. Would you like to serve food to grandfather? I'm really too busy to handle it all by myself."

"Isn't there a maid who is responsible for serving the dishes? I just returned home and have only met Grandfather twice. I have no idea what he likes!"

When the old man heard this, he immediately put down his chopsticks and looked at Shangguan Qingyue with a cold face:

"The mouth is right under the nose, don't you know to ask? You are now the daughter of the Shangguan family, so you'd better get rid of those crude and rustic manners as soon as possible.

If you have nothing to do, go to your third sister's yard more often, learn some etiquette and rules, and get some of the temperament of a lady from a noble family. This will prevent you from being embarrassed in the future and bringing shame to the family!"

Ever since Shangguan Qingyue returned home, the old man has been feeling unhappy. Today was supposed to be a family dinner, but the eldest family unexpectedly brought a weird-looking child along.

He had been suppressing his anger, but when he heard that Shangguan Qingyue was unwilling to serve him food, he could no longer bear it.

"Grandfather seems to be very displeased with me. Are you unwilling to acknowledge me as your granddaughter?"
