Chapter 39: The Banquet (3)

"Someone over there......" Situ Yingsleeve hurriedly pulled Shen Yule and looked at Nunu on the other side of the bushes.

Shen Yule turned around, but there was nothing left.

She thought about it, pulled Situ Ying's sleeve and walked over, and looked over to the bushes, but only saw the white back of Yue Yue turn around and went to the other side.

Shen Yule looked at the tall and straight back, and said, "That's the Fragrance Pavilion over there, maybe it's a guest who came today." ”

After a while, Mrs. Shen's eldest lady Wang Yueshan sent her mother-in-law over and invited them over, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Fragrance Pavilion has begun to sit down, you can go over." ”

Shen Yule hurriedly turned his head and took Situ Yingsleeve to take the lead.

Soon came to the Fragrance Pavilion.

Situ Yingsleeve is no stranger to this place.

It is a banquet hall with a translucent silk screen divided into two halves, with men sitting on one side and women on the other.

Situ Yingsleeve's stepmother, Zhang, had already knelt behind the first case under the main seat with Situ Darkincense.

Seeing Situ Yingsleeve coming in, Situ Darkincense hurriedly beckoned to her, "Sister...... Come over here! ”

Situ Yingsleeve looked at Shen Yule.

Shen Yule smiled and said, "Let's go over." That's where your family is. ”

Situ Yingsleeve thanked her with a smile, walked over with her, and sat down beside Zhang.

Through the translucent silk screen, you can see the male guests opposite, most of them are young and vigorous young men, sitting behind the azure-colored mica-trimmed rosewood case, talking and laughing loudly.

"The imperial grandson has arrived! The second prince of Nan Zhengguo has arrived! ”

Situ Ying was stunned. - The second prince of Nan Zhengguo? Zheng Hao? How did he get here?

accompanied Zheng Hao, the second prince of Nanzheng State, to Shen Xiangfu, as well as His Royal Highness the current imperial grandson.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Taisun and His Royal Highness the Second Prince." Mrs. Shen hurriedly walked over with the ladies here, and curtsy the imperial grandson and Zheng Hao.

The male guests on the other side also bowed their hands.

"No courtesy, no courtesy. Mrs. Shen is so polite, she won't dare to come to your house in the future. The imperial grandson was very polite to Mrs. Shen, and after he finished speaking, the eunuchs around him hurriedly rushed over and helped Mrs. Shen up.

"His Royal Highness the Taisun Corporal Lixian, it is the blessing of my Eastern Yuan Kingdom." Mrs. Shen said politely and straightened up.

The imperial grandson nodded with a smile, his eyes slipped through the crowd, and then looked at Zheng Hao, "You want to come over to see the excitement, but Lone is here with you." ”

Zheng Hao had already seen Situ Yingsleeve with his head bowed deeply in the crowd.

Although she was only twelve years old, she was very tall and her skin was extremely white, even if she tried her best to hide herself, in this crowd of black and oppressive people, she didn't know how eye-catching her thin white slender neck lined with black and curly hair like seaweed......

Zheng Hao smiled and looked away, and said: "I have long admired the great Confucians of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and it is my lifelong wish to be able to come to the Shen Xiangfu where the great writers and Confucians are gathered together for a banquet today!" Hahahaha! ”

Situ Yingsleeve lowered his head and couldn't help but want to roll his eyes: ...... The lifelong wish of Prince Zheng Er is to "crown the world...... When did you become a Confucian of the Jiumu literati?!

"Today is the banquet that my grandfather held for my two cousins and cousins......," Shen Dagongzi said embarrassedly, "His Royal Highness the Taisun and His Royal Highness the Second Prince can come, which is the blessing of our Shen Mansion and my cousin and cousin." ”

"Oh? Is it a feast for your cousin and cousin? Oops, that's a good thing! When you meet for the first time, you can't be empty-handed! I've got to give some greetings! Zheng Hao shouted, his hands closed, "Someone!" Present the gift! ”

The subordinates brought by Zheng Hao came in with brocade boxes and came to the Fuxiang Pavilion.

"Which one is your cousin?" Zheng Hao asked deliberately.

Shen Dagongzi pointed to Situ Yingsleeve and said, "That's my cousin, my cousin is young, and he is resting at his grandmother's." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hmph, eight years old, what's small? I've heard that the kid is a fool, and I'm afraid he won't bring it out to meet anyone, for fear of losing face......" Someone on the man's side suddenly muttered, and it happened to be in a voice that everyone could hear.

This man's words are like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.

Situ Ying's heart sank, knowing that she couldn't let her words be confirmed, she raised her head and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

The man stood in the crowd, his eyes couldn't dodge, he only felt that the light in front of him flashed, like a phantom of snow, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Huh? Prime Minister Shen Dacheng's grandson, is he really a fool?! ”

"Is that still fake? I've heard it from my family before. Now it seems that nine times out of ten it is true. ”

"Tsk, the famous Shen family, the girl of the Sanhou and Wuxiang families, will also give birth to fools? - What a laugh out of other people's big teeth......"

"No wonder Prime Minister Shen Dacheng's girl wants to marry a businesswoman in a hurry...... Hee-hee......"

"That's it! What is there to say about this! It's still everyone's show, just like a broken-mouthed mother-in-law! Shen Yule couldn't listen anymore, turned around and scolded a few women who were standing close to them, and then whispered to Situ Yingsleeve: "Don't be angry, they are all girls from the Tang Anhou family, don't care about ......them."

Situ Yingsleeve asked softly, "Do you know the person who spoke just now?" He gestured to the man opposite.

Shen Yule stood on tiptoe and looked, "...... is still a person from Tang Anhou's Mansion, Tang Hailang, the second son of Tang. ”

Tang Hailang? ――This name sounds familiar......

Situ Yingsleeve suddenly remembered a famous thing about this person he had heard in his previous life, and said with a smile: "Second Prince Tang, my younger brother is from a merchant and can't go to Taixue at all, so don't slander my brother like this for the sake of one less competitor." -- I'm here to apologize to you. As he spoke, Situ Yingsleeve was deeply blessed and bowed.

The crowd burst into laughter, and someone pointed at Tang Hailang and said loudly: "Second son Tang!" You're enough! For the sake of this Taixue ghost quota all day long, this person wears small shoes, gives that person eye medicine, and now even the eight-year-old child from the merchant does not let go, how much do you want to go to this Taixue! ”

It turned out that not long ago, in order to compete with a son of the Lu family for the place of going to Taixue, Tang Hailang spread rumors behind his back, saying that he "did not learn and had no skills" and "his character is worrisome", and later it was exposed, and Tang Anhou's Mansion made a big fuss and had no face, and Tang Hou Ye and his wife had to come to the door in person and go to the Lu family to make amends.

This incident caused a lot of ups and downs, and although Situ Yingsleeve stayed at home when he was in his last life, he also heard people talk about it.

She took advantage of this incident to easily cover up Xiao Lei's situation.

No one believed Tang Hailang's words anymore.

Even those who knew some clues before were puzzled, secretly thinking about the grandson of Prime Minister Shen Dacheng, could it be that someone deliberately made trouble?

Situ Ying's sleeves were a little proud, she pursed her lips, glanced over there, and happened to see Xie Dongli wearing a moon-white brocade robe, standing behind Tang Hailang with his hands in his hands, with a tall figure, a calm complexion, and a lonely eye, without joy or arrogance. Although against the light, you can see his clearly outlined face, with a sense of indifference and solemnity that rejects people thousands of miles away.

Situ Yingsleeve's gaze stayed on him for a moment.

Xie Dongli seemed to be aware of it, his eyes raised, and he only turned to her side like a flash, then looked away and lowered his head to talk to the people around him.
