Chapter 33 Distinguished Guest

As a result, this family banquet in the inner house of the Shen Mansion was stunned to eat two heavens of ice and fire.

After Shen Mu toasted the ladies with three glasses of wine, he returned to the front yard proudly.

Shen Moyun was in the spotlight of all eyes at the moment, so he naturally deserved to be invited to the main table by the old lady. But the seat had been arranged a long time ago, and Aunt Xia, who had originally arranged her seat under the old lady, was really under a lot of pressure at the moment, and she had just been condemned by the ladies, so she could only obediently give up her seat to Shen Moyun at this time.

She cursed Shen Moyun more than a thousand times in her heart, if this broom star didn't come back, according to her father's current status, the ladies would never compare her status and status. Even if she is generous and self-controlled as the head of the house, even if she sits directly at the main table safely, those ladies and wives will only turn a blind eye and will never openly get along with her.

However, now she doesn't dare, under the unanimous accusations of her husbands, even if she doesn't care about the Shen family, she can't make the Xia family lose face and affect her father's plan and future.

So, not only did she not dare to sit at the main table, but she also did not arrange herself to go to other tables, but she could only obediently stand behind the old lady as a concubine and was busy changing dishes.

The poor old lady had long since spared her from the morning and dusk, and the years of pampering and lasciviousness had raised her to be delicate and expensive, and she had only been busy standing for half an hour, and she felt that her waist and knees were sore, and her scalp was numb.

Like Aunt Xia, she was in a depressed mood, and her two daughters were the ones who chewed wax, and these people secretly hit Shen Moyun with a knife that made her feel a chill in her back.

Although Old Madam Shen smiled on her face, she was still playing that little abacus in her heart.

And on Shen Moyun's side, from time to time, a lady came up to toast and talk to her enthusiastically, which was very lively, and even Shen Ling and Wu Xiaoyu, who were sitting next to her, also became popular together. For a while, Shen Ling, who was an aunt, was both a cloth vegetable and a wine blocker for her niece, which was comparable to her own mother.

Shen Ling is so enthusiastic, Shen Moyun also knows how to repay the peach, and when he talks and communicates with his wives, he intentionally or unintentionally picks up Wu Xiaoyu. The banquet was not over, but there were also a few middle-aged families who came up to be close to Shen Lingtao.

No one knew the joy in Shen Ling's heart at the moment, and he secretly decided that he must take care of this motherless niece.

It's time to finish a feast. The backyard of the Shen Mansion has long been set up for the entertainment of the female dependents.

Watching the play and chatting is the favorite of the older ladies, but the ladies generally can't sit still, and are more keen on enjoying the flowers, drinking tea, visiting the garden, and naughty some interesting games and wine orders.

As a result, Mei Lin in the Shen Mansion Garden also prepared a lot of stone tables and chairs early, covered them with thick velvet cushions, and burned a hot charcoal stove. The girls are busy making tea and setting fruits, welcoming the arrival of the ladies at any time.

The west courtyard of the Shen Mansion was placed by the old lady Shen when he was alive, and later Qin Lan bought the East Garden, and when the two gardens were repaired, Qin Lan opened up the two gardens, and built a plum forest in the middle to connect them.

Because the original owner of the East Garden, Fan, is a native of Suzhou Prefecture, the entire East Courtyard is strange and exquisite under his arrangement, especially the back garden of the inner house, although the pattern is not large, it is a pavilion and pavilion, a small bridge and flowing water, a winding path through the secluded, a unique world.

At this moment, the stage and activities of the ladies are divided into the East Garden and Merlin. As for the West Courtyard, it was naturally assigned to the male guests who liked to talk about chess and drink after eating.

Aunt Xia took great pains to arrange it like this, although the male and female guests were far apart, but they only relied on the natural barrier of Merlin, which was convenient for the male and female guests to look at each other from a distance.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, men and women were more strictly guarded, and men and women generally did not sit at the same table at the age of seven. Now there is Merlin apart, but it is not more than the rules, but it is a little more interesting.

This arrangement is obviously with ulterior motives, almost all the ladies are watching the play on the stage, only the ladies will be active by this plum forest, I am afraid that a gust of wind can make the young ladies Yingge Yanyu spread to the forest. You don't have to guess to guess that on this big winter day, most of the male guests who like to be active in the Meilin Bamboo Forest must be some vassal and elegant young talents.

Shen Moyun came down after some activities, and recognized all the female guests in the venue, but found that there were no particularly dazzling or talented ladies in the capital among the young ladies present, but I don't know, the arrangement of this place and the guests is for Shen Moqing or Shen Ling, who is eager to sell her daughter, or is it the Miss Wang family?

After having such a conjecture, Shen Moyun didn't want to make any extraneous trouble, so he obediently sat on the stage and chatted with his wife and watched the play.

Sitting with her was Miss Guo Jia, who turned out to be Guo Jia, the great-granddaughter of the most prestigious Dragon and Tiger General in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Shen Moyun frowned as she listened to her self-introduction. Dragon Tiger General? This is the rank of the second rank of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is also the highest rank of military generals. General Guo's prestige, even if she is a little girl who has lived in the countryside for a long time, is like thunder.

Guo's army has been stationed in the north for decades, and has made great achievements in maintaining the stability and prosperity of his Great Zhou Dynasty. The old general Guo is over seventy years old, and over the years he has broken the Tatars, and the Walla army has attacked dozens of times, and he is the most proud of the victorious general of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

No wonder, in front of so many elders just now, Miss Guo dared to confront and ridicule her father in public, and everyone had no doubts. It turns out that this Miss Guo still has such a high-level background.

The Guo family is a real wealthy dignitary of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but how could such a family come to her father's birthday banquet? How many times did this Miss Guo secretly help her?

"Miss Guo is coming to the banquet alone?" Shen Moyun looked at Guo Jia's gaze, and there were a little more inquiries and questions.

That Guo Jia was more than half a year younger than Shen Moyun, with a round face and apricot eyes, and at the moment he was grabbing a large handful of colorful plum silk and sending it to his mouth, ignoring the icing on the side of his mouth, he smiled and said: "Sister Yun, I eat and eat, and your Shen family can still eat this plate of pickled plum silk!" Be! Today I came alone! As he spoke, he picked a few more strands and put them in his mouth, revealing a silly smile while chewing.

Shen Moyun inevitably had a lot of suspicions, this Miss Guo should obviously have no malicious intent, but why did she enter the Shen Mansion and help her many times as she did?

"Sister Yun, don't think about it! I'm a straight person, and I've always done what I wanted! I just followed my father back from the border for three days, and today I saw a happy event in the Shen Mansion when I passed by, so I came in to shop! You know, with my great-grandfather's name hanging on it, who can't I get into? I really couldn't look past it just now, so I said a few more words casually to help my sister get some money back! Sister, don't be careful! I really like my sister! ”

How could it be? Shen Moyun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but looking at Miss Guo's puffed cheeks and sending food to her mouth one by one, she didn't want to get to the bottom of it for no reason, so she chatted with Miss Guo instead.

That Guo Jia is really a lover of food, and after a short period of effort, a plate of maze will see the bottom. Shen Moyun could only ask the maid to bring another plate, and then asked the maid to pack another one for her to take back......

But the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, and from time to time, young ladies and maids always come to invite Shen Moyun and Guo Jia to go to Meilin, but they are all sent away by Shen Moyun one by one. On one occasion, Shen Moqing's personal maid Hexiang came over and bluntly said that the second lady couldn't be busy alone. Since Shen Moyun is the eldest lady in the mansion, he should naturally do his best to greet the ladies in Meilin.

This is really ridiculous, today's event was originally planned and arranged by Aunt Xia, why did it take her turn to intervene? Moreover, if she hadn't come back to the Shen Mansion, wouldn't Merlin's ladies still be greeted by Shen Moqing? Why do you think of her now?

This Shen Moqing invited her over five times and three times, it was obvious that there was a problem, how could she be so stupid as to fall into the net at this moment?

Although the maid named Hexiang said it quietly, Guo Jia beside Shen Moyun still listened to it all.

Shen Moyun just wanted to refute, but Guo Jia beside her grabbed her more sharply and counterattacked.

When Miss Guo heard this, she got up and shouted angrily: "What do you Miss Shen mean?" Am I not a guest of the Shen Mansion? What's wrong with the eldest lady here to accompany me to watch a play and drink tea? Or does the second miss think that I am not noble enough, so I have to go to Meilin with Miss Shen? The second lady is so snub to me, but she is not welcome? In that case, I'll take my leave and go first! With that, Miss Guo raised her sleeves and pretended to walk out......
