33. Chapter 33

In the evening, at the setting of the moon.

The people of the Shen Mansion were busy in the garden.

The family banquet was placed in the garden of the Shen Mansion, the surrounding trees were full of lanterns, and rows of screens surrounded the garden, and everyone in the Shen family sat at the table talking and laughing, very lively, and the most talked about was the marriage of Shen Wuwu and Wei Yong, the second son of the Duke of Wei, the second master of Shen raised his eyebrows, and was very active in this family banquet.

Shen Zhizhi was rarely reduced to a supporting role, and glanced at his father, who was still strict and expressionless, the old lady Shen who was smiling from ear to ear, and the eldest lady who was forced to smile, and the second lady who looked at the eldest lady proudly from time to time with her tail cocked high...... and the brothers and brothers at the other table, as well as the fourth sister Shen Jingjing, who is an invisible person not far away, and some aunts in the big house.

Except for the sister-in-law who is recuperating in peace, all the people in the house are gathered.

The fourth sister, Shen Jingjing, sat quietly beside her mother, as if isolated from the world.

Shen Zhizhi sighed slightly, she was about to talk about her family, the fourth sister's temperament was not tossed to death by the eldest lady.

The biological mother of the fourth sister is also a speechless person, even if she cares about her daughter, she can't do anything, her father doesn't care much about the concubine, except for the aunt who gave birth to the concubine is more confident, and the aunt who has not given birth is safe.

"Miss, it's rare for you to come back, madam, they ignore you so much......" Xi'er muttered a little unhappily.

Instead, the nurse tugged at Xi'er's sleeve and signaled her not to speak.

Shen Zhizhi smiled and said nothing, she found that Shen Wufang was very affectionate to Shen Wuwu, and it seemed that she sincerely congratulated Shen Wuwu, but Shen Zhizhi took a closer look and faintly found that Shen Wufang had hidden pride in his eyes, which made Shen Zhizhi really confused.

She remembered that the relationship between Shen Wuwu and Shen Wuwu was average, and she even calculated Shen Wuwu a few times, but now Shen Wuwu's family affairs are so good, she is not at all unusual, and even proud, it is too weird.

In addition to Shen Zhizhi, there is another person who pays attention to the difference between Shen Wufang, he is the only outsider who was invited by Mrs. Zhao to participate in the family banquet - Zhao Yuanhao.

Judging from Shen Wufang's appearance, Zhao Yuanhao was 100% sure that Shen Wuwu's marriage was her calculation.

It's a pity that Shen Wufang is going to steal chickens and rice this time.

Wei Yong is not only suitable for Shen Wufang, but also suitable for Shen Wuwu, the second lady of the Shen family has a really good vision, and after determining that Wei Yong's character is not flawed, he is still a soft personality and easy to handle, so he made a decisive move and won this good son-in-law for his daughter.

"Zhao Gongzi, let's go to a small bar next to it." At this time, Shen Ziheng brought a glass of wine to Zhao Yuanhao, who was drinking and pouring himself alone.

"Good!" Zhao Yuanhao glanced at him, hooked the corners of his mouth, picked up the wine glass and touched him, and then the two got up and went outside to chat.

Shen Zhizhi caught a glimpse of Zhao Zicheng and his eldest brother leaving, raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned his attention back to the second aunt, listening to the second aunt talk about the affairs of the Wei family.

Not only was the old lady Zhao interested in the affairs of the Duke of Wei, but the eldest lady was the same, at this time, the eldest lady looked at the second lady with a smile and became angry, and secretly annoyed that her eldest daughter Wufang, who was both talented and beautiful, why didn't she climb up to the son of the Duke of Wei?

During this period, Mrs. Shen was old and couldn't stand the toss, so she was helped down early to rest.

Shen Zhizhi was originally a quiet beautiful woman watching a play, but her father suddenly came to her, said a few words to her and left, and everyone shifted the topic to her.

What kind of housekeeper is a few days after getting married, what husband is high and powerful, what kind of backyard is not bad...... Balabala's big push, in short, is all kinds of envy, all kinds of admiration, and all kinds of obscure overtures...... Especially the second aunt, while elevating her, she also brought her daughter Shen Wuwu with her by the way, and secretly sarcastically and divorced Shen Wufang......

Pulled a big hatred in front of Shen Wufang, didn't you see that the perfect smile on Shen Wufang's face was cracked?

Shen Zhizhi was very speechless about this second aunt who was so strong, as long as she bred up and dealt with it.

Out of the corner of his eye, he didn't know when he would come back, and Zhao Zicheng, who was watching the play with great interest, the corner of Shen Zhizhi's eyes twitched slightly.

At the end of the day, the family banquet finally ended, Shen Zhizhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and took Xi'er and the others back to the Agarwood Garden.

Who knew that she was stopped by Shen Wufang halfway, and she smiled brightly.

"Zhizhi, you're going back to the General's Mansion tomorrow, why don't we get together tonight and talk about ourselves?"

Shen Zhizhi smiled slightly: "Okay, why don't you go to my agarwood garden." ”

Shen Wuwu happily stepped forward to hold Shen Zhizhi's arm, turned his head to look at Shen Wufang, who was about to say something with his red lips, and quickly nodded in agreement: "Okay, Zhizhi's agarwood garden is just right, eldest sister, don't you say?" ”

Shen Wufang, who originally planned to invite people to Tinglan Garden, glanced at Zhao Zicheng's son, who had not left, his eyes flashed slightly, and he had to nod unwillingly.

Shen Jingjing was still an invisible person, following Shen Wuflaw's side.

In the dead of night, the cold moon is like a hook.

In the Agarwood Garden, in the small pavilion, in front of the stone table, the four sisters drank tea and admired the moon, and Xi'er on the side poured tea for the four young ladies and retreated to the side.

There is a big man who enters indiscriminately - Zhao Zicheng.

and a cadre of guards who escorted Shen Zhizhi over.

Shen Wufang looked at Zhao Zicheng with a frown more than once, and his pretty face was slightly sad: "Zhao Gongzi, it's late at night, shouldn't you go back to rest?" ”

"I'll leave after Madame rests." The old god of Zhao Zicheng set up a table not far from them, drank a little, and was not moved at all.

How could he leave at this time, who knows if this Shen Wufang, who is always secretly calculating people, will have something to do.

"Eldest sister, Zhao Gongzi is also ordered to protect me, don't embarrass him." Although Shen Zhizhi didn't like Zhao Zicheng, it was undeniable that she would feel safe with him.

Shen Wuwu grinned, "In the dead of night, more people are safe, fourth sister, don't you say?" ”

When Shen Jingjing heard Shen Wuwu mention her, she lowered her head a little nervously, and hummed lightly.

Shen Wufang pursed his lips and smiled, as if the person who was slightly stunned just now was not her: "Since you are not opposed, I have no opinion." ”

"Zhizhi, I heard that next month is Mrs. Zhao's sixtieth birthday, right?" Shen Wuxian paused and asked with a smile.

Shen Zhizhi glanced at Shen Wufang, lowered his eyes and chuckled: "That's right." ”

"There are a lot of guests invited, I don't know if you are too busy, why don't we three sisters go and help entertain guests?" Shen Wufang looked at Shen Zhizhi with a smile and hurriedly said the purpose of tonight.

Shen Zhizhi raised her eyebrows and politely refused: "This is not in accordance with the rules, the third sister and the fourth sister have not left the pavilion, and if they go to the sister-in-law's house to entertain guests, it will not have a good reputation for them." ”

But there was no mention of Shen Wufang, the eldest sister who was divorced, and the meaning was self-evident.

Shen Wufang's pretty face changed slightly, and she secretly hated in her heart, this Shen Zhizhi is really her nemesis, now she needs Shen Zhizhi as a chess piece, let her be proud first, and when she marries the fourth prince, Shen Zhizhi will only look up to her in the future.

Thinking of the situation when she recruited Shen Zhizhi into the palace after the fourth prince ascended the throne, and Shen Zhizhi kowtowed to her, a bright smile appeared on the corner of Shen Wufang's mouth.

The corners of Shen Zhizhi's mouth twitched, this Shen Wufang was really strange.

"Zhizhi, don't be in a hurry to refuse, I think about this time Old Madam Zhao's birthday, the people from the Wei State Mansion will definitely go, the third sister's fiancΓ© must also come, and the third sister will definitely want to meet Wei Yonggongzi in advance."

Shen Wufang cleverly slipped Shen Wuwu out, and with Shen Wuwu's pestering energy, Shen Zhizhi would definitely not be able to refuse.

When Shen Wuwu heard that the people from the Wei Mansion would also go, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly shook Shen Zhizhi's arm and coquettishly.

"Zhizhi, Zhizhi...... Say yes, say yes......"

Shen Zhizhi was dizzy by Shen Wuwu, so she had to nod helplessly: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble, I really can't promise you this, but you have to talk to the second aunt, if the second aunt agrees, I have no opinion." ”

The male guests are entertained by a cheap husband and a little uncle, and she is the only one for the female guests, and Mrs. Zhao is old, so it goes without saying that the matter of hospitality will fall on her.

Shen Wufang and they can help if they want to, but ...... Mess with it or something...... Shen Zhizhi squinted slightly, depending on whether she agreed or not.

Shen Wuwu was very happy, and hugged Shen Zhizhi affectionately, his mouth was like smearing honey: "I know that Zhizhi is the best." ”

"II...... Second sister, can I not go? The fourth sister, Shen Jingjing, abruptly interjected a sentence and came in, and when she saw that everyone's eyes suddenly turned to her, she lowered her head with a flushed face.

Seeing this, Shen Zhizhi sighed secretly and said with a smile: "I know that the fourth sister doesn't like to be lively, it's okay, don't force yourself, but ...... It would be better to change your personality appropriately. ”

Shen Jingjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head and smiled gratefully at Shen Zhizhi, and quickly lowered her head.

Under the bright moonlight, Shen Zhizhi noticed the smile of the fourth sister, and her eyes lit up slightly, she didn't expect this timid and shy fourth sister to smile so well.

If she smiles more, she is a delicate and lovely woman who makes men pity.

If you marry the right person, you won't be happy.

But according to the temperament of the eldest lady...... Shen Zhizhi sighed regretfully, it depends on the luck of the fourth sister.

Shen Wuwu snorted arrogantly, wrinkling his little nose: "Fourth sister, you can't hide like this and don't see anyone, you're about to get married, you have to change it, otherwise what will you do after you get married?" ”

Shen Jingjing's body trembled, biting her lip, still silent.

Shen Wufang didn't say anything, she wished that Shen Jingjing had been cowering and couldn't get on the stage, so it would be the most beneficial for her, the eldest daughter.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with her whether Shen Jingjing goes or not, she just needs to go to General Weiyuan's Mansion on Old Madam Zhao's sixtieth birthday.

The most important thing is that the four princes will also go that day, which is her main purpose.

She needed a justifiable reason to know the Four Princes.

By the way, take a look at that brother-in-law - General Zhao Yuanhao.

She always felt that Zhao Yuanhao's resurrection from the dead was incredible, of course, at this time, Shen Wufang didn't think that there were people in this world who were reborn like her.

Zhao Yuanhao, who was deaf and clear-sighted not far away, had already heard the words of the four sisters, shook the wine glass in his hand lightly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
