The banquet of the Jiang family was not set up at home, but the most famous Mingshui Garden in Yongzhou Mansion.

Mingshui Garden was built by a wealthy man in the previous dynasty with a huge amount of money, and it was originally used as a private garden and has been passed down.

But after so many years, it has also undergone a change of dynasty, and now it has long been unknown how many hands have been transferred, and finally fell into the hands of today's owners, and with a little repair, they began to lease to make money.

Because the Mingshui Garden is really exquisite and good-looking, and after nearly two hundred years of polishing, every grass, tree, stone and scenery are more charming, so all kinds of banquets and gatherings in Yongzhou Mansion are mostly set here.

The coachman of the Shen Mansion drove the two-wheeled mule cart and stopped smoothly at the gate of Mingshui Garden.

After Shen Tianshu got out of the car, he looked up at the plaque in Mingshui Garden.

Shen Yunyao looked at the gate of Mingshui Garden and pouted in disinterest, these people, can't they change places? Six or seven times out of ten I've been here, and I'm really tired of watching it.

Someone greeted the guests at the gate of Mingshui Garden, and took the three girls of the Shen family all the way into the back garden.

Some distance away, I already heard the sound of people talking and laughing.

Turning around a clump of green bamboos in front of him, a wide open pavilion came into view, and the people who arrived first were already drinking tea and talking inside.

The subordinate raised his voice and said, "The three girls of the Shen Mansion have arrived." ”

A young woman immediately walked out of Changxuan, who should be Madame Jiang - Huang.

She greeted her with a smile and said, "I'm busy entertaining guests here, and I can't go out to greet them, it's really rude, and I hope the girls won't be weird." ”

After greeting Mrs. Jiang, Shen Tianshu said: "Mother is unwell and inconvenient to travel, so I can't come, so I specially asked me to apologize to Mrs. Jiang and prepare a gift for you." ”

"Mrs. Shen is so polite." Huang gestured to the maid behind him to take the things, "I have been busy preparing for the banquet for the past two days, and I haven't been able to find time to see Mrs. Shen, so if I want to apologize, I should apologize."

"Since the three girls are here today, then don't be restrained, have a good time, and treat them as your own home."

When Huang said this, he deliberately winked at the three of them, and lowered his voice slightly: "Today I invited a lot of young talents, and when the time comes, I will gather the ladies of all families together to listen to the play, there are more topics among you young people, you talk about yours, and we play ours just two cheap." ”

After Huang finished speaking, he led the three of them into Changxuan, followed by a group of people rushing up to salute, say hello, and greet each other, and only stopped after a while.

After the three of them sat down, Shen Yunyao couldn't help but say, "What did Mrs. Jiang mean by what she said just now?" What do you mean by inviting many young talents? Is she going to change her career to be a matchmaker? ”

Shen Yunhui was even more surprised and didn't know what to say.

Although the people of Daqi are relatively civilized, and the defense of men and women is not as strict as that of the previous dynasty, it is really rare to specifically encourage young men and women to get together like this.

Shen Tianshu was not too surprised, she had seen similar things in her previous life, there were some noble ladies in the capital, who liked to save such a game, and invited young men and women together to joke and have fun, and they didn't want anything else, just to have fun.

It's just that I didn't expect that this lady of Lord Jiang also had such a hobby.

"No matter who she invites, let's take care of our own proportions and treat each other politely." Shen Tianshu was still a little uneasy after speaking, and said, "You two don't go around either, it's best for us to stay in one place, so as not to give people with ulterior motives a chance to take advantage of it." ”

Shen Yunhui was timid, and nodded hurriedly when she heard this, she didn't want to be alone.

Shen Yunyao's face was full of inattention, but she still nodded.

After all, the three of them are the daughters of the prefect, and after only talking for a while, people come over to talk from time to time, and new guests come to say hello.

Not long after, Mrs. Zhao came with Zhao Junrong.

Zhao Junrong let Mrs. Zhao say some useless nonsense greetings to the Huang family, but his eyes kept looking in the open xuan, and finally met Shen Tianshu's eyes, and immediately smiled happily and squinted his eyes, and hurriedly waved at her.

Shen Tianshu beckoned and asked Zhao Junrong to sit beside him.

Zhao Junrong followed Zhao Qu in Chengdu Mansion before, the first few years were not very peaceful, and it was rare to encounter such an opportunity to gather, everything was very fresh, and he kept looking left and right, and he had to bite his ears with Shen Tianshu from time to time.

After another half an hour, the guests are almost here, Huang really said: "I have asked someone to prepare a small play, it is a new book from Ying Tianfu this year, the team has been practicing for half a year, and now it is the first time to perform in Yongzhou Mansion, ladies give me a face, let's go over to listen to the play, eat tea, let the girls play in the garden by themselves, let's be relaxed." ”

The Xu family didn't come today, and the Huang family's husband had the highest official rank, and she proposed it like this, so everyone naturally didn't disobey.

What's more, the new drama book is indeed very attractive, each wife has a few words of advice to her daughter, and then gets up and follows Huang towards the stage.

Mrs. Zhao also had to follow the crowd, so she entrusted Zhao Junrong to Shen Tianshu and said: "Good boy, you help me watch a little Junrong, she is playful and willful, fortunately, I can listen to your words." ”

"Don't worry about your aunt, I will take good care of Junrong."

Seeing that the ladies of the families had left, only the girls of the families were left in the open house.

The girls who came today were basically the same age as teenagers, and they were much more relaxed after their mother left, and their chattering voices were much louder.

Shen Tianshu looked left and right, but he didn't see any young talents that Huang said, and he couldn't help but be curious, and he didn't know how those people would appear in a while.

It can't be a group of people who walk directly into Changxuan, right? Isn't that too embarrassing?

In Changxuan, there were many people like Shen Tianshu, looking around uneasily, presumably having heard Huang's words.

Just when everyone was wondering, a few maids suddenly came over and began to unload the door panel behind Changxuan.

As the door panels were removed one by one, everyone realized that there was a hole behind Changxuan.

Across a small garden, there was a place where twenty or thirty young men had gathered, chatting in twos and threes.

Shen Tianshu just glanced at it, and saw Fan Yuru, who had been haunted recently.

Fan Yuru is dressed in white today, and in the group of people opposite, both in appearance and temperament, he is firmly ahead of others, and he can be said to stand out from the crowd.

There was a moment of silence in Changxuan, and then a "buzz" erupted, and discussions abounded, and everyone was desperately asking the people around them.

"Who is the young man in white on the other side?"
