Chapter 168: Invitation to the Mansion
Li Ji naturally didn't know that Shen Li'er had thought about so much in an instant. γLatest chapter reading. Hearing her say that when she saw Shen Liancheng for the first time, her words were full of joy and gratitude, and he relaxed a little.
She likes her eldest sister so much, she shouldn't have crooked thoughts about herself and do something to make her eldest sister sad, right?
"Your eldest sister often says that you are innocent, lively and lovely, and you are her favorite among your sisters." Li Ji made up nonsense, and at the same time collected his memories, and was shocked to find that Shen Liancheng rarely mentioned his family to him, let alone his sister-in-law.
Her second sister doesn't like Shen Li'er to associate with her, which means that she has a bad relationship with her second sister. And she and her sixth sister Shen Bijun don't seem to have a good relationship...... He suddenly felt that he didn't know much about his wife.
"Big sister really said that about me?" Shen Li'er was very happy to hear such words. She was very happy and the eldest sister liked her.
The eldest sister likes her like this, isn't it...... If she wanted to share a little bit of the heart of the man in front of her, would she also be forgiven and allowed?
"Of course! Otherwise, how could your eldest sister ignore your second sister's visit to the door and let you live in my house? If Li Ji knew that what Shen Li'er was thinking was completely different from what he thought, he would never say that.
"Does my brother-in-law want me to stay too?" Shen Li'er suddenly lowered her head and asked.
Li Ji only felt a thunderbolt on a sunny day. After talking for a long time, it turns out that Shen Li'er still thinks about herself?
"My family is big, where can't I accommodate you?" He responded, "Your eldest sister asked you to stay, and I dare to get rid of you?" β
Shen Li'er laughed, thinking that Li Ji was very funny.
"I ......" Li Ji really couldn't see Shen Li'er smile so happily, and after thinking about it, he hurriedly made an excuse and said, "I'll go and see if your eldest sister has slept well in the afternoon." β
He left almost three steps and two steps. After walking a distance, he shook the folding fan in his hand and couldn't help muttering, "It's getting hotter and hotter this day." β
In Qingqiu Garden, Qingling had already come back first. Shen Liancheng took a nap for two quarters of an hour, and then woke up too.
"The prince is coming this way." While grooming her, Qingling briefly recounted Shen Li'er's "chance encounter" with Li Ji, and made a summary, "It seems that there is no progress yet." β
"There's no hurry." Shen Liancheng smiled shallowly, and instructed Qingling, "Don't keep an eye on it too closely." β
"Yes, slave knows."
At this time, Yuhe knocked on the door and came in, holding a red invitation card in his hand. She stepped forward, handed the invitation to Shen Liancheng, and said, "The concierge handed it over, and it was sent to the people of the mansion." β
"Xiangfu?"
Kyoto is a Xiang Mansion, that is Prince Rong's biological mother, Mrs. Xiang's mother's house.
Mrs. Xiang's mother's family was not prosperous, her parents died as early as when the emperor was alive, and there was only one brother among her peers, who also died a few years earlier, leaving only a single seedling, that is, Xiang Shuyuan.
The current head of the Xiangfu family is Xiang Shuyuan.
Xiang Shu is two or three years old, but he is already a group of wives and concubines, with children and daughters, and he has a lot of fireworks in the Xiang family. This time, he sent an invitation to the Founding County Mansion to give him a first birthday banquet for his sixth son.
Although Xiang Shuyuan is a relative of the emperor and the cousin of Prince Rong, he has no official position in the court because he has no intention of pursuing a career, and he can't fight with the Shen family with eight poles. In her previous life, she had never seen this person. Now, his son is one year old, and he invited her and Li Ji to a banquet...... It can only be because the Xiang family and the Li family have some friendship, right?
At this moment, Li Ji came in.
"Ji Lang," she greeted him with an invitation, and told him, "The sixth son of the Xiang family invites us to the banquet for the first birthday of the day after tomorrow." β
"Xiang Jia?" Li Ji took the invitation, but he didn't know which Xiang family it was for a while. After reading the content of the invitation, he frowned even more and said, "How can our Li family ever have a relationship with this Xiang family?" It's so dignified that he wants to invite the two of us to a banquet. β
Hearing this, Shen Liancheng was a little surprised, "Isn't it that the adults are familiar with the Xiang family in the past?" β
"No, it won't." Li Ji shook his head and said, "If my father gets acquainted with the Xiang family, he will definitely talk proudly." After all, it was Prince Rong's grandfather's house. β
"That's weird." Shen Liancheng thought about it, wondering if at this time in his previous life, the lord Li Wei had received this invitation.
Li Wei and Prince Rong are getting closer and closer, did they start at this time?
Perhaps, it has nothing to do with Li Wei. If it has nothing to do with Li Wei......
Li Ji suddenly straightened Shen Liancheng's body and said with a smile: "Maybe I married the most beloved granddaughter of the Son of Heaven as my wife, so I look down on our Li family!" Aman, you don't need to worry too much, prepare a generous gift, and we will go to the banquet normally. β
Perhaps Li Ji has a point. She is not only the granddaughter of the Son of Heaven, but also the niece of the Son of Heaven's adoptive mother, the princess Wang, and the "strange woman" who assisted Chen Guogong in recovering Zhan Longjue and the imperial sword, made meritorious contributions, and her name was recorded in history. It is not surprising that some people "take a high look". If that's the reason, she doesn't want to go to the feast. But really, is it just the reason?
Seeing her eyebrows frowning slightly, Li Ji stretched out his hand, gently rubbed between her eyebrows, and said softly: "If Aman doesn't want to go, let's let the housekeeper back up the gift." β
"No, I'm going." In any case, if you are not greasy, you will know when you go.
"Okay, listen to you."
So, Shen Liancheng quickly wrote a gift list for someone to prepare, and sent someone to send the reply to the banquet to Xiang's home.
In Xiangfu, when he learned that Li Ji and Shen Liancheng would come to the banquet, the housewife Tang came to the residence of her husband Xiang Shuyuan and specially told him the news.
This is what her husband specially told her, and when she received a reply from the Founding County Mansion, she must inform him.
"Husband, is it important whether these two come or not?" She didn't understand why her husband cared so much about whether the prince of the founding county and the wife of the prince would come to the banquet, and seeing that he was in a good mood when he heard his words, she couldn't help but ask more.
Twenty-three-year-old Xiang Shuyuan, dressed in an apricot-colored wide-sleeved regular suit, sat behind the desk, raised his blazing eyes slightly, glanced at Tang, and landed on a locust tree in the courtyard outside the door, hooking the corner of his lips, "Of course it's important." But there was no more to come.
Tang Shi only felt that he had asked in vain, smiled awkwardly, and retreated.
This husband of hers is moody. She followed him for six years and bore him two sons and a daughter, neither of whom she felt really knew him. What he wants to do, she can't ask, she doesn't ask. The husband asked her to invite the prince and the wife of the founding county, and she successfully invited her, and her affairs were done properly. When I asked that sentence, I really owed it.
However, it is worth looking forward to taking this opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to see the demeanor of the prince of the founding county. (To be continued.) )
