Chapter 8: Going to the Feast
Zeng Jing was stunned, he wanted to open his mouth to refuse, just joking, Zeng Jing was at most a subordinate, essays, martial arts, appearance, background, etc., what qualifications did he have to compare with the governor's son, why should he affect the governor's son's character, but when the words came to his mouth, he still held back.
The person who is a confidant dies, what kind of person is Shen Qingfeng, what kind of thing is himself, why do people call a virtuous nephew, and Shen Gongzi is equivalent to saving his life no matter what, even if he can't affect Shen Gongzi's character and can't complete Lord Shen's entrustment, but whether he can do it or not is completely different things, thinking of this, Zeng Jing had to smile bitterly: "Don't worry, the villain will do his best." ”
Shen Qingfeng was very relieved and reached out to pat Zeng Jing's shoulder, and said, "Thank you, nephew." ”
..................
At noon one day, Shen Yu was invited to Zuixianju, the largest restaurant in Dongyang Mansion, to participate in a small-scale poetry meeting, and the participants were either young talents from Dongyang Mansion, or children of official eunuchs and rich families like Shen Yu.
Xiaoxiao dressed up Shen Yu expressionlessly, Shen Yu originally belonged to the type of prince of the world, even if he was in tattered clothes and dirty, it was difficult to cover up his immortal assets, and now coupled with Xiaoxiao's careful dressing, the scene can be imagined.
What a peerless beauty, what a prince and grandson, compared with Shen Yu, it is really like a pheasant and a phoenix, it is really incomparable.
Shen Yu picked up a folding fan made of jade bamboo from the desk, and after a little contemplation, he picked up the pen and wrote on the fan surface: "The golden lotus flower of the jade bamboo small fan, the eyes are like the stars dancing in the sky, it is suspected that the gods have descended to earth, and they smile at the red dust and the stars." ”
After writing, he smiled with satisfaction, and handed the folding fan to Xiaoxiao's eyes: "How about the inscription poem of this son?"
Xiaoxiao pursed his lips, and said in a slightly angry tone: "Everyone knows that although the prince does not know self-love and does not do his job, he has amazing talent, and he has always been the first talent in Dongyang Mansion and even the entire Yuzhou Province. ”
Shen Yu was stunned, stretched out his hand to scratch Xiaoxiao's delicate nose, and said with a smile: "Oh, I said how do I feel that my family Xiaoxiao is so wrong today, it turns out that I am angry." ”
Xiaoxiao's eyes were slightly red, he turned his face away, and said sadly: "Xiaoxiao is something, how dare you be angry with Gongzi, as long as Gongzi doesn't hate Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao is already a blessing!"
Shen Yu hugged the girl in his arms, smiled and muttered, and couldn't give birth to even the slightest emotion of resistance and resistance in his heart, so he sat on the young man's lap.
Shen Yu stretched out her hand and gently stroked her hair, and said softly: "Don't be angry, little fool, this son has never treated you as a subordinate, you are no different from my own sister in my heart, what happened last night was my fault, don't blame me, in fact, I just think that Brother Zeng is sincere and upright, if you can really follow him for the rest of your life, it will be a good destination." ”
Hearing this, his face changed, and he said urgently: "I don't want it, I will serve my son all my life, otherwise I would rather die." ”
Shen Yu smiled helplessly, let go of the girl, and said, "Okay, the poetry meeting is about to start, it's time for this son to leave, you stay at home, just rest and rest if you have nothing to do." With that, he got up and walked straight out.
Looking at the young man's disappeared back with a smile, a touch of sadness swelled up inexplicably in his heart!
Is there really a prince and Cinderella in the world?
Even if there is, it's definitely not me, I'm just a toad or an ugly duckling at most.
..................
Today's Dongyang Mansion Drunken Immortal Residence was directly contracted by Yuan Xiaotong, the eldest lady of Yuan's Commercial Bank, and was specially used to hold this Dongyang Poetry Meeting.
This Miss Yuan is the round-faced girl who was next to Shen Yu yesterday, don't look at her as only fifteen years old, but since this Miss Yuan saw Shen Yu for the first time, she secretly made up her mind that Shen Yu would not marry in this life.
You must know that in ancient times, both men and women were far earlier than modern people, and fifteen years old was not uncommon in ancient times, let alone falling in love, even if they got married and had children, it was even very common, so although this Miss Yuan's emotions were a bit wishful thinking, they were also reasonable.
In fact, not only this Miss Yuan, in the entire Yuzhou Province, all the daughters who have seen or have not seen Shen Yu, talented women, who doesn't want to marry Shen Yu, no matter what aspect it is, Shen Yu seems to be the most satisfactory and excellent gentleman.
As for the rumors that Shen Yu is lustful and does not do his job, in the eyes of these official ladies and wealthy celebrities, what is that.
It was almost noon, Zeng Jing personally drove the carriage to send Shen Yu to the door of the Drunken Immortal Residence, and before Shen Yu got out of the car, Yuan Xiaotong led a group of young men and girls to greet him, among which Liu Shiyan, the eldest lady of Liu's firm, was also in the ranks.
Yuan Xiaotong rushed ahead of the others, ran to the carriage first, and said crisply: "Brother Xiaoyu, I'm here to pick you up." ”
As soon as Shen Yugang drove the curtain first, Yuan Xiaotong did not shy away from reaching out to support the young man and said, "Brother Xiaoyu, slow down." ”
Shen Yu got out of the carriage, turned his head to Zeng Jing and said, "Brother Zeng go in with me." ”
Without waiting for Zeng Jing to answer, Yuan Xiaotong hurriedly shouted to the guy at the door of the Drunken Immortal Residence: "What are you still stunned about, you haven't arranged Brother Xiaoyu's carriage yet." ”
The two men agreed, one hurriedly drove Shen Yu's carriage to the special parking space of the Drunken Immortal Residence, and the other hurriedly went to prepare good forage for Shen Yu's horse.
Yuan Xiaotong and everyone gathered around Shen Yu on both sides, and the stars greeted Shen Yu all the way to the second floor of the Drunken Immortal Residence like a moon, Zeng Jing looked at everyone's rich and noble dress without exception, and then looked at his shabby outfit, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable, but as Shen Yu's personal entourage, since Shen Yu had already spoken, he had to endure the embarrassment and follow everyone up to the second floor.
As soon as everyone went up to the second floor and sat down, someone brought fruit plates, snacks and wine to fill the table.
Yuan Xiaotong and another girl with a melon seed face sat on the left and right sides of Shen Yu first, and Zeng Jing stood directly behind Shen Yu and did not sit down.
Liu Shiyan looked at Shen Yu's gaze and was first amazed, then turned indifferent, and said lightly: "Although it is said that it is a poetry meeting today, the ultimate goal is nothing more than to meet friends with literature, the little woman is not talented, she knows a little about poetry and songs, and she also knows a little about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
When Yuan Xiaotong and the girl with the melon seed face heard this, their faces were slightly gloomy, and they just wanted to say something, when they heard Shen Yu smile and said: "This girl is very eye-catching, I don't know which daughter it is?"
As soon as Shen Yu's voice fell, a young man in yellow said: "Brother Shen, this is the daughter of Liu's firm, the righteous daughter of her father, and her name is Shiyan. ”
