Chapter 26: The Family Feast
Every fifteenth day of the month, it is a family banquet in Dongningbo's mansion.
and family banquets, everyone in the house eats in one place, and even the aunts and concubines in the house will come here, although the aunts and concubines are not masters and are not qualified to eat on the table, but they also have to serve dishes on the side.
Although the family banquet is all relatives, Dongning Bofu is not a small family, so on such an occasion, it is necessary to pay attention to manners, so Shen Fengxu bathed and changed clothes early in the morning and waited for the family banquet later.
Chensha was combing Shen Feng's hair like silk, she was holding a jade grate, her movements were gentle, like a spring breeze, thin and soft.
Shen Feng straightened his sideburns and said, "Speaking of which, I may not have seen my eldest brother and second brother for a long time. ”
It has been nearly a month since Shen Fengxu woke up, but she has not seen everyone in Dongningbo's mansion, first, Shen Fengxu was not favored in the past, and she was dispensable in the house, and secondly, she was often in the inner courtyard and rarely went out.
Chensha said softly: "At the family banquet in a while, the girl will naturally be able to meet the eldest son and the second son." ”
"Hmm. Shen Fengxu nodded slightly, "Have you explained everything clearly to Hua Qing?"
"Yes, Hua Qing and Qing Ya are both extremely smart people, so naturally they both understand. Cinnabar said, pausing slightly, and continued, "Girl...... Can you really trust them?"
Shen Fengxu turned his head, stroked the jade pendant in his ear, and asked, "Why did you suddenly say that?"
Cinnabar is the most meticulous, and since she said so, she naturally had her own ideas.
However, Chensha shook her head, and just said: "No, the maid just thinks that the two of them are too smart, but they are so clever, but they were coerced by the four girls, and they are a little ...... Incomprehensible. ”
Hua Qing didn't care, after all, she was coerced by Shen Yuxiang.
But what about the green sprouts?
This matter clearly has nothing to do with Qingya, she is not coerced, and second, she is not in Shen Yuxiang's hands, so why bother to take this trip to the muddy waters? Even if it is successful, she may not be able to reap the benefits, but once the East Window incident happens, she will definitely die without a place to be buried.
"And ......," said Cinnabar, "since they can help the girl calculate the four girls, do you know if they will bite back?" ”
Shen Fengxu just smiled, turned his head to look at Chensha, and said, "You have such a cautious temperament, it's really likable." ”
Chensha lowered her head: "The girl praised it falsely." ”
"But in this world, there are not only conspiracies and calculations, but also sophisticated human feelings. Shen Fengxu smiled indifferently, "Shen Yuxiang used Hua Yan to threaten Hua Qing, even if Hua Qing was willing to help Shen Yuxiang, it was just helpless, under the trade-off between the two, who to help, presumably Hua Qing herself knew it." ”
As for the green shoots......
The two of them are not blood relatives, but Qingya is willing to go to the soup for Hua Qing, such a deep sisterhood makes Shen Fengxu a little moved. She is used to seeing the world's cold eyes and calculations, even if they are brothers and sisters of the same mother, they can turn their faces against the wall, but they don't want Hua Qing and Qingya to have a very strong relationship, even if they threaten each other's lives, they can't be separated.
"The servant understands. Cinnabar said softly.
As he was talking, Dansha ran in from outside the door in a hurry, and said loudly: "Girl, everyone is almost here, we should also go!"
"Good. Shen Fengxu nodded, then stood up and said, "Then let's go." ”
............
......
Ninghetang.
In the past, family banquets were held in the courtyard, but today it is probably because of the gloomy and rainy weather, so the banquet is held in the house.
Under the red lantern, there was a maid guarding the door standing at the door, and the courtyard was empty and quite deserted.
"The six girls are here. The maid leaned against the door, and when she saw Shen Fengxu coming, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Girl, go in quickly, the lord and the lady have already arrived." ”
Shen Fengxu seemed to ask casually: "Is the eldest sister here?"
"Not yet. The maidservant replied respectfully, "The eldest girl is late today, but she should be there in a moment." ”
Shen Fengxu nodded, then didn't ask any more questions, and stepped into the Ning He Hall.
At this time, except for Shen Yulou, everyone in the house had already arrived.
Sitting on the main seat is the old lady, below which are the two brothers Shen Yanning and Shen Yanping, and the eldest lady and the second lady also sit on one side, chatting with the old lady, which is a scene of family harmony and warmth.
There are two beautiful girls standing beside the eldest lady, who are Shen Yanning's two concubines, Aunt Yun and Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Yun has a delicate and beautiful face, standing on one side with low eyebrows at this time, very humble and respectful, while Aunt Zhao is wearing a light green silk skirt, with a silver hairpin obliquely inserted in the bun, which is even more charming and charming, and her body is delicate and soft.
The eldest lady's gaze swept over Aunt Zhao from time to time, and her eyes were quite sharp.
Aunt Zhao didn't notice it.
However, her careful dressing this time won Shen Yanning's favor.
On the side of the second lady, there was also Aunt Su standing aside.
Seeing Shen Fengxu walking in, a young man smiled: "The sixth sister has finally arrived." ”
Shen Fengxu first saluted, then got up, turned to look at the young man, and smiled: "I haven't seen my second brother for a long time." ”
He is Shen Cang, the second son of the second room, although he is stubborn by nature, he also has a pure conscience.
And the other young man beside Shen Cang was the eldest son Shen Qing, the eldest son of the Dongning Bo Mansion, but unlike Shen Cang, he just glanced at Shen Fengxu lightly, and did not mean to say hello.
"Fengxu, come and sit down. The eldest lady beckoned to Shen Fengxu, with a gentle smile, with the demeanor of a housewife.
Shen Fengxu stepped forward in response and sat beside Shen Yuxiang without hesitation.
Shen Yuxiang suddenly felt twisted, but because the old lady and Shen Yanning were here, Shen Yuxiang couldn't have a seizure, but secretly sneered in her heart.
In a while, it will be Shen Fengxu's death!
Everyone has arrived, but Shen Yulou has disappeared for a long time.
Shen Yanning couldn't help frowning, and asked, "What about the people of Yulou, why haven't you come yet, how can you let the old lady wait here, what kind of system will it become!"
"That's it. The old lady waved her hand, "Maybe it's delayed." ”
The old lady loves Shen Yulou the most, and she doesn't want to care about it.
"On the way back home from the academy today, the eldest sister accidentally got her clothes dirty, and she should still be changing her clothes. Shen Baitang shook his head slightly, "The eldest sister should be almost here." ”
As soon as Shen Baitang's words fell, a jade-like figure hurriedly came in from outside the door.
The person who came carried the incense breeze, and his voice was clear and gentle, like a spring breeze, blowing straight into the hearts of the people: "The jade building is late! ”
It was the eldest girl Shen Yulou.
Seeing Shen Yulou again, Shen Fengxu's gaze still fell on her, not for a moment.
Shen Yulou probably also noticed Shen Fengxu's gaze, so he also looked at her, revealing a friendly and gentle smile.
So Shen Fengxu also smiled.
