42. Go to the banquet
After Lily mentioned this, Sheng Xue saw that he reached out and held the wrist that was originally wearing the gold bracelet, and it was indeed empty. Could it be that it fell somewhere yesterday? Mo is not in Merlin? Sheng Xue secretly recalled that Xu slipped the bracelet off when he dragged the boy! How good is that? The landscape bracelet is probably my mother's beloved thing, if my mother asks, how should she answer? When she was upset, the old lady's eldest girl, Aunt Ci, came.
"Changping Bofu sent someone to send a post, and the old lady asked Miss Fifth to go to Nanyuan." Aunt Ci said to Bai with a smile. Bai Shi wondered in his heart, they had just arrived in Luzhou, and they didn't know anyone from Changpingbo's mansion, why did this post come to the door? Yin asked, "What kind of friendship does our Sheng family have with Changping Bofu?" Yukimi's name was written in the post? Aunt Ci immediately said: "Only the name of our fifth lady is written in the post!" This Changping Bofu is a noble family, and it is not easy to make friends with it. Our eldest prince and Cao eldest prince of Changping Bofu studied in the same academy, and they have never received posts! ”
When Aunt Ci said this, the Bai family was even more puzzled. Then there is no reason to post to Aman. However, Sheng Xue in the middle heard Aunt Ci's words, and vaguely guessed that this post should be under Fan Siyan of the Xueyi Marquis Mansion. She put aside the matter of the gold bracelet for the time being, and just as Lily and Mint had already taken care of her appearance, she got down from the stool and walked out of the room: "It's just right, I'll go to my grandmother's now." ”
Bai didn't know why, but Aunt Ci was still waiting here to reply, so she said, "Mother will take you over." "When I arrived at the old lady's Nanyuan, as Sheng Xue expected, the old lady knocked on the side to inquire about her relationship with Changping Bofu." Yesterday, I came out of Merlin and bumped into the eldest prince of Changping Bofu and his cousin, Miss Fan San of Xueyi Houfu. She asked me if I was Ziwei's life, and I didn't talk to her much when we were about to go home. ”
After listening to Sheng Xuejian's words, the old lady pondered for a moment, this Changping Bofu is the only noble family in Luzhou, and it has a very high reputation in Luzhou, and Changfang tried his best to send Sheng Yunling into the academy to get close to the eldest prince of Bofu, but Changping Bofu has never given Sheng Yunling a post, but has given Sheng Xue, who met for the first time, a post. The old lady's eyes flashed with a glimmer, and she looked up at Sheng Xue and said, "The plum banquet in Changping Bofu has always been decent, grandmother made you a new dress, let your eldest sister and third sister take you there, and don't make jokes carefully." ”
Sheng Xue sneered in her heart, these words were a slap in the face for a sweet date. A new dress wanted to stuff Sheng Mixiang and Sheng Poria into it, and said that they should take it with them, but it was ridiculous, they were not in the invitation, and the old lady was really wishful thinking! But Sheng Xue didn't care, if she had the ability to go, she had to have the ability to fight for herself, not to mention that Sheng Mixiang and Sheng Poria went together, there was a good show to watch over there.
"Granddaughters listen to you." Sheng Xue replied obediently. The old lady saw that Sheng Xue was very cooperative, and she was satisfied, so she instructed Lilac: "Take a high-quality brocade and make a jacket and skirt for Miss Five!" Lilac saluted and went out at once. Seeing Bai standing aside, the old lady asked again, "How are the preparations for the New Year's banquet?" ”
Bai replied: "It's almost ready." The old lady nodded, waved her hand, and said, "I am also tired, so go back." Aunt Ci handed the invitation to the Bai family, and the Bai family opened it and understood that the old lady specially called A Man to Nanyuan, simply to forcibly send the eldest girl and the third girl to participate in the plum banquet in Changping Bofu. Bai couldn't help but sneer in his heart, this abacus is really crisp, the two girls have reached the age of Jilu, and the eldest son of Changping Bofu is in his youth. If one of the two daughters can marry into the Bofu, it will also bring a lot of convenience to the Sheng family.
Bai closed the invitation and led his daughter out of Nanyuan. There are still a few days before the banquet, and she wants to talk to her daughter about etiquette. Although she is the daughter of a merchant's family, she often goes in and out of the homes of dignitaries with her mother in Shengjing, and her demeanor is never weaker than those golden branches and jade leaves in Shengjing. Sheng Xue saw that there was another thing in her heart, she lost the gold bracelet, and she had to find it back quickly, otherwise when her mother remembered this matter, how would she explain?
Early the next morning, the old lady's eldest girl Lilac sent the prepared skirt, Bai looked at the skirt and cried and laughed, the so-called high-grade brocade is really not a popular dress in Bai's opinion. You must know that Sheng Xue saw that one sleeve of the moire snow jacket was three times more expensive than the whole skirt. Now let my daughter wear such a skirt to the banquet, isn't this waiting to be laughed at by those ladies? Bai thought about it, and still planned to let Sheng Xue see that moire snow jacket.
Sheng Xue saw that she hadn't slept well all night last night, just because she was thinking about the whereabouts of the Shanshui Gold Bracelet, she still felt that the bracelet had fallen on Merlin. What kind of excuse should she find to go to the Cloud Temple and look for the bracelet again? What Sheng Xue didn't know was that her bracelet was in the boy's hand at the moment. In the study room of the West Garden of the Duanwang Mansion in Shengjing, a ten-year-old boy was dressed in white, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a gold bracelet in his slender hand, which was carved with mountains and rivers, elegant and gorgeous. On the table in front of him, there was an open brocade box, and there was also a gold bracelet in the brocade box, which was also carved with landscape pictures!
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, "Come in!" The boy's cold voice rang out. A guard came in outside: "Master, I have inquired, it was the ladies of the Sheng family in Luzhou who came to burn incense in the temple that day." There are also the eldest son of Changping Bofu and the third lady of Xueyi Houfu. ”
"It's the Sheng family over there, keep investigating." The boy placed the gold bracelet in the brocade box and commanded. The guard immediately saluted and said, "Yes!" And he withdrew.
Looking at the pairs of bracelets in the brocade box, the boy couldn't help but murmur: "What is the origin of that female doll?" "The gold bracelet in this brocade box has an extraordinary life, and it is the beloved thing of the boy's aunt, but this gold bracelet originally had a pair, but somehow one was missing, but I didn't expect Merlin to wear it on the wrist of a female doll that day.
On the day of the plum banquet in Changping Bofu, the old lady asked to take out the best carriage of the Sheng family to send the three girls to the banquet, Sheng Xue saw that she was still wearing the cloud-patterned snow jacket that day, sitting in the carriage and closing her eyes to recuperate, so that she could ignore Sheng Poria and Sheng Mixiang.
