Shen Nian pulled the crumbs of dim sum on his hand. This time, the storyteller at the bottom is just talking about all kinds of legends. Shen Nian didn't bother to listen anymore, so he withdrew his attention. But I heard someone chatting at the table next to me.

"Are you going to the 'Oiran Banquet' tonight?"

Another said, "You must go."

......

Shen Nian rolled his eyes and said to Chu Yan and the others, "Let's go to this 'Oiran Banquet' in the evening."

Even if the person at the table next to him spoke, Chu Yan and the others were all martial arts masters, and the other party's self-righteous voice was not very low. So Chu Yan and the others heard it.

Mu Bai nodded, "Cheng." "Mu Bai actually has a similar temperament to Shen Nian, they both like to join in the fun, how can this kind of excitement not be fun.

Chu Yan shook his head speechlessly, and lowered his head to drink tea. Bai Li didn't care anyway, he would go wherever Shen Nian went.

"And now? What are we doing? Chu Yan said slowly.

Shen Nian thought for a moment, then sighed and lay on the table, "I don't know." If you don't play for a while, go back to eat at noon. The second brother went to court on the first day and went back to see him. ”

The three nodded approvingly.

So the three of them actually stayed in the teahouse in the morning.

As soon as he returned home at noon, Shen Nian went directly to Shen Feng's courtyard.

As soon as Shen Nian entered, he saw Shen Feng sitting at a table under the tree drinking tea. A jade fan was put together and placed on one side of the stone table. The stone tables of the Shen Mansion are all exquisitely carved. The tree moves slightly. It's a gentleman's style.

"Second brother." Shen Nian seemed to pounce like a butterfly, but when he reached the stone table, he stopped and sat down.

"Nian'er." When Shen Feng saw Shen Nian, he also smiled at the corner of his mouth. "What's going on?"

"It's not your first day of returning from the next day, so I'm here to see you." Shen Nian held his chin and blinked at Shen Feng.

Shen Feng picked up a piece of pastry and put it in Shen Nian's mouth, "What, are you still afraid that I will be eaten on the first day of the court?"

The pastry is not big, so Shen Nian chewed it and swallowed it. Then he said: "You are the Shaoqing of Dali Temple all of a sudden." This position is not high, but low is not low. Many people are offended, and many are stammered. It's fun. ”

Shen Feng was afraid that Shen Nian would chew too fast, so he poured her a cup of tea, "Fun? In your eyes, nothing is play. ”

Shen Nian smiled, with an innocent look on his face. It is impossible to see what Shen Nian is thinking.

Shen Feng put the tea in front of Shen Nian, and then spoke, "On the first day of going to court, I also saw the vague connection between many parties. In Shen Feng's heart, even if he regarded Shen Nian as his most beloved sister, he also knew that Shen Nian's wisdom and vision were not an ordinary official woman, so there was no pressure on them.

Today he vaguely understands the party affiliation of the court. One faction is to support the four princes, Shangguan Hansu. Shangguan Hansu's mother is Xi Guifei, Xi Guifei is the sister of the head of the Wang family, the Wang family has been poor for many years, and its power has declined, but it is still one of the four major families, so the strength and connections it has cannot be underestimated. The other faction faintly supports the Nine Emperor Princes Shangguan Hanbing, Shangguan Hanbing's mother died at an early age, so there is no explicit support from the maternal side, but Shen Feng knows, and the Nine Emperor Princes also know that the Shen family is on the side of the Nine Emperor Princes, but it is not obvious. Moreover, Shangguan Hanbing is the emperor's favorite prince, and the strength he has accumulated in recent years is not bad. Shangguan Hanheng is not afraid, the court has not seen anyone support the prince born to this palace maid. In the early years, the crown prince Shangguan Hanao had been imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion and would never be allowed to come out. The queen was also deposed, and the rear seat was vacant. Because the head of the Feng family is now Princess Chaoyang, he has long cut off contact with Shangguan Hanao and has not been affected. There is also a faction that is the neutral faction led by King Jinxi, and it can be said that the most powerful of the three factions is the neutral faction.

Shen Feng's eyes were dark, he had long known that he would one day enter the officialdom, Chaozhong is now quiet and peaceful on the surface, but in fact, the inside is turbulent, and danger and wealth go hand in hand. Moreover, the Northern, Southern, and Western dynasties are no longer peaceful.

Shen Nian didn't speak, but he could tell what Shen Feng was thinking. "Second brother, you have a furrow in your heart, just go your own way."

Shen Nian suddenly opened his mouth to break Shen Feng's contemplation, Shen Feng smiled, indeed, out of his own way. The breeze is blowing, and the wind is still the same as before, but the boy is no longer the boy he once was.

Shen Nian left. Shen Nian came today to talk to Shen Feng. She had already calculated that Shen Feng was destined for the prime minister, but if she could mention a few words, it would be a few words. The second brother's road is still the second brother to walk and explore, what he does is just show the road to the second brother, even if he doesn't have himself, Shen Feng will come up, it's just a matter of time.

Eat at noon, because today is Shen Feng's first day in the court, and it is also to celebrate, and the meal is very rich.

Mu Bai is a snack, since he came to the Shen family, he always feels that he eats differently every day, and he looks forward to eating the most every day.

Shen Qing was busy all morning, and he was able to see people at lunchtime.

"Big brother, I haven't seen you all morning. How do you feel so busy? Shen Nian bit his chopsticks and looked at Shen Qing.

Shen Qing served Shen Nian a bowl of soup, "Oh? Can you see me if you're not busy?" Shen Qing put the soup in front of Shen Nian, looked at Shen Nian, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "I heard that some people stayed in the teahouse all morning." ”

Shen Feng also glanced at Shen Nian strangely when he heard this.

Chu Yan and Bai Li seemed to remember that they couldn't find the way in the morning, so they hurriedly buried their heads and hurried to eat. Mu Bai has been eating seriously, but he is very devoted.

Shen Nian pretended to cough twice, his eyes drifting.

"It's not that I don't know the way." Shen Qing said slowly.

Ahem, ahem. Chu Yan and the others also began to cough. Mu Bai looked up strangely and patted Chu Yan on the back, Chu Yan just wanted to pat this fool's head.

"I just thought about playing, but I didn't think about how to get there." Shen Nian touched his nose a little embarrassed.

Shen Feng sneered, "So you stayed in the teahouse all morning." Then he laughed.

Shen Nian glared at Shen Feng, stinky second brother.

"In the afternoon, are you still going out?" Shen Qing asked.

"Nope." Shen Nian shook his head, and planned to accumulate his energy to go to the Qinglou at night.

Shen Qing sighed, "What about that night." ”

"I'm not going out either." Shen Nian's face was indifferent.

Bai Li raised his head, but seeing that Shen Nian didn't react, he continued to bow his head to eat.

Shen Qing didn't say anything more.

In the evening, dressed as a man and Mu Bai Chuyan and Bai Li, they went to the so-called Oiran banquet.

Four people jumped out of the wall. Nonsense, if Shen Qing and the others see Shen Nian pretending to be a man, they will definitely have to break the casserole and ask in the end. So in order not to let them see, Shen Nian and the others jumped off the wall. At the same time, Shen Nian didn't forget to wave his hand at the secret guard of the Shen family in the dark, and the dark guard moved his face over with a wordless face, and told himself that he didn't see anything, and the third lady's kung fu was too high, so he didn't see it.

Chu Yan looked at the dark guard's reaction and was silent.

As soon as the four of them landed, they put on non-existent pleats, and then went to the "Oiran Banquet" as if they had done nothing. ”

The so-called "Oiran Banquet" is actually held by the largest green building in the capital, "Jing Sleeve Building".

The four of them came out this time, but they asked in advance how to get out, and they didn't want to look for it all night. Of course, it is natural for Chu Yan to ask in advance how to go.

The four of them walked slowly.

"Why should we act like thieves?" Bai Li suddenly asked strangely.

The three of them thought about it, indeed, they were already far away from the Shen Mansion, and the three of them coughed twice, as if they didn't hear it, but obviously their straight backs just now slowly relaxed. As soon as the four of them entered the building, the old bustard felt that his eyes lit up and stepped forward directly.

"Oh, Childe, I'm here to participate." The old bustard waved the handkerchief in his hand and threw an eyebrow at Mu Bai. Because Mu Bai just happened to be standing in front of the other three.

Mu Bai instantly felt goosebumps on his body, and Chu Yan blocked in front of Mu Bai without a trace. Shen Nian walked up and picked the old bustard's chin with a fan, although this old bustard's face was thick with powder, it could also be seen that his facial features were actually very good-looking. Shen Nian smiled ruffianly, "Naturally, how can I not come to such a grand event." Shen Nian then whispered: "They are all rich masters, and it is not a problem to serve us to the satisfaction." As he spoke, he stuffed a handful of silver tickets for the old bustard.

The old bustard smiled, "You don't see it." As he spoke, he put the silver ticket down his sleeve. Come, Fangzi, lead the four sons to the second floor. ”

A turtle slave stepped forward, it seemed that it was the Fang Zi in the mouth of the old bustard, and I saw Fang Zi bending down respectfully, "Childe, please." ”

Shen Nian fanned the fan away and smiled gracefully. With Fang Zi went to the second floor. Bai Li is already wooden, this is actually the master.

The four of them went up to the second floor, Shen Nian looked up while going upstairs, and saw a group of women on the third floor leaning on the railing looking at them and laughing, Shen Nian also smiled at them, and the women on the third floor were taken by Shen Nian's smile, and they all blushed, covered their faces with handkerchiefs, and boldly threw flattering eyes at Shen Nian.

"Please." Fang Zi led Shen Nian and the four of them to a private room.

Fang Zi opened the door, as soon as the four people entered, they smelled the fragrance in the house, it was very refreshing, and it was not very tired of making people bored, only to see a screen when the door was opened, the screen was painted with mountain flowing water, white but not transparent, over the screen, behind it was also a door, the tassel fluttered on the door, the tassel was opened, the space was very large, there was a table, next to the railing, you could see the first floor well. There are walls on both sides, and there is also a beaded curtain at the railing, which is also to shield the guests. It seems that the second floor is full of "distinguished guests." ”

Shen Nian sat down with the four of them. At the same time, there are people who bring pastries and tea.

Fang Zi said respectfully: "If you have any needs, you can call me at any time, and I am outside the door."

Shen Nian glanced at the boxy platform on the first floor and asked, "Your Oiran banquet looks like it's also a grand event."

Shen Nian seems to have a lot of people, and they all have heads and faces. The Eastern Dynasty did not prevent officials from looking for flowers and willows, but they were not allowed to stay in the Qinglou at night.

Fang Zi was still bent over, "Childe is right. We do it once a year. Slowly, new and old customers came, and it became a grand event. ”

"So what's your process?" Shen Nian asked again.

"Childe, that's the case, the girls in our building are performing in the order of the lottery, and whoever quotes the highest price for the guest officials is the Oiran this year, and the one with the highest price can spend the Spring Festival with the Oiran."

Shen Nian smiled slightly after hearing this, "Yes, you go down first." ”

"Yes." Fang Zi nodded and left.

From the moment he came in and sat down, Chu Yan poured tea for the four of them without saying a word.

"How?" Shen Nian took the tea and blew it slightly, taking a sip gently, but his eyes lit up, "Good tea." ”

Mu Bai nodded, "I didn't expect this little Qinglou to have such good tea." ”

Bai Li still tasted a mouthful, blinked, still didn't taste it, and tasted it again.

Shen Nian ignored Bai Li's entanglement, and instead looked downstairs.
