Chapter 72: Inconsequential Official Positions
What Yuan said was an inconsequential official position.
When these women are together, as long as they mention their own sons and daughters, they are the most topical.
The ladies of each family were chatting together, and Shen Mixiang was eating silently on the side, they all came, both to enjoy the flowers and the moon, and today's dinner must be late. I don't have enough for lunch, and I don't know when I'll be able to eat at night.
I can't talk about this topic, it's best, don't talk about it, it's great to fill my stomach on the side.
But some people disagreed, Shen Nianxiang looked at Shen Mixiang, who had been eating on the side, and said: "Look at your appearance, how can you eat like this, and you are not afraid of losing the face of our Shen family." ”
Although Shen Nianxiang said so, in fact, her stomach was also growling, but the purpose of coming here was to restrain her image in front of the wives of each family, and occasionally clip the dishes in front of her with chopsticks.
Obviously, there is her favorite dish not far away, but she just can't stand up to pick up a chopstick, how bad this image is.
There are only two dishes in front of me, and if there are too many clips, the plate will be even more ugly if it is empty. Shen Nianxiang regretted it at this time, she was busy wearing clothes and jewelry in the morning, and she didn't have time to eat breakfast.
Looking at her like this, Shen Mixiang saw it in her eyes and helped to clip a chicken leg in the distance of chopsticks.
This is the chicken leg of braised chicken, red and covered with traces of oil, shiny and shiny, and it looks very attractive. And there are bursts of fragrance, which is simply a direct hook to the soul of the person.
Shen Mixiang's natural way Shen Nianxiang's thoughts, persuaded: "Sister, give you chicken legs, eat more, see how thin you are." ”
Shen Mixiang found the steps for Shen Nianxiang, and waited for Shen Nianxiang to go down the steps and eat the meat. But Cui Niangzi pulled the corner of Shen Nianxiang's clothes below.
Shen Nianxiang naturally understood what Cui Niangzi meant, this chicken leg is naturally delicious, but the posture is naturally indecent when eating it. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people, how could the whole chicken come up, except for the chicken leg that Shen Mixiang took away, what does it look like now.
"Thank you, sister." Shen Nianxiang thanked him, but he didn't see the chopsticks for a long time, Shen Mixiang also saw Shen Nianxiang's concerns at this time, and smiled bitterly and gave a few chopsticks to facilitate the dishes.
Shen Nianxiang got off the chopsticks at this time, otherwise, when she turned around, she thought that Shen Mixiang deliberately embarrassed her and sandwiched a chicken leg for her, thinking that she wanted to see Shen Nianxiang make a fool of herself.
In this kind of dinner, none of them are really full, and they are all chatting with their own thoughts. Many dishes are served in a variety of ways, or in what way, but it's just a formality.
It's not that the son of this family praises how capable he is, or that the daughter of this family praises this family, who is beautiful and embroidered with a good hand.
The banquet went very smoothly, and the time passed quickly, and Shen Mixiang, who followed Mrs. Song in the afternoon, also saw a lot of rare flowers, although many flowers did not bloom in this season. But compared with those young ladies who bloomed in front of each other, but they couldn't name them and only followed them to say that they were good-looking, Mrs. Song liked Shen Mixiang very much.
For the whole afternoon, Shen Nianxiang followed Duan Feibai not far away, looking at him. Duan Feibai's superficiality is a general, although Duan Feibai does not have a son to inherit his father's business to be a soldier, but he is also a martial arts practitioner.
Although he looked like a young man, he occasionally leaned against a tree and leaned against a railing as if he had no bones. But when he stood, his posture was as tall as a pine, his eyes were like torches, and there was little smile on his handsome face like a knife, and sometimes it seemed to be a little high-minded and distant.
The lazy voice in which he spoke sounded particularly hoarse and magnetic.
Duan Feibai looked simply impeccable in Shen Nianxiang's eyes, originally he just thought that Duan Feibai was such a good person, how could he fall in love with Shen Mixiang.
But Shen Nianxiang couldn't forget the scene when he saw Duan Feibai for the first time in Chenxiangzhai that day.
I don't know if the sun was just right that day, and the angle that shone obliquely on Duan Feibai's face was just right. Or maybe the air that day was just right, and the air around Duan Feibai was sweet. Otherwise, it is destined, and it is wrong for life at a glance.
Shen Nianxiang is a girl after all, although she really wants to go up and say a few words to Duan Feibai, but Duan Feibai is not only popular among women, but also among men. There was always a group of people around her, and the handkerchief in Shen Nianxiang's hand was about to be crushed by her.
Cui Niangzi is also angry, this afternoon, as long as you can't find Shen Nianxiang's person in the blink of an eye, she originally came to this kind of banquet in the hope that Shen Nianxiang can stand out among this group of girls, so that these ladies and sons are also familiar, maybe they can promise a good marriage.
This girl is good, and she can't find anyone when she turns around.
When Cui Niangzi found Shen Nianxiang, Shen Nianxiang was standing in front of an inconspicuous flower, and she didn't know what she was doing.
Cui Niangzi walked to Shen Nianxiang's side and patted Shen Nianxiang angrily, Shen Nianxiang was suddenly patted and was startled.
Cui Niangzi looked in the direction that Shen Nianxiang had just looked at only to find that it was Duan Feibai and Shen Yizhu who were over there, and reproached in a low voice: "A girl, standing here and staring at them, what kind of body has it become." ”
"Mother." Shen Nianxiang wanted to explain, but when the words came to her mouth, she still held back, pouted, and was pulled away by Cui Niangzi. Although I was unwilling, I still followed the footsteps of Cui Niangzi and left, and I was pulled by Cui Niangzi to a place with few people step by step.
When she arrived at a place where no one was around, Cui Niangzi began to chatter: "If your brother is disobedient, even you have to start being disobedient, do you want to be me." ”
"Mother, I don't." Shen Nianxiang was a little aggrieved, but she still didn't dare to say it, and carefully gave Cui Niangzi a back: "Mother, don't be angry." ”
Cui Niangzi wasn't really angry, she was just in a hurry, and she still wanted to talk about Shen Nianxiang when she settled down: "Come, tell your mother, what did you go there just now, this afternoon, I just need to turn around and I won't be able to find your person." ”
"Mother, I..." wanted to be hesitant in the Year of the Snake, but she couldn't say anything, and she didn't dare to say it, Cui Niangzi also looked anxious. Thinking about whether he was scaring her, he slowed down his thoughts before he softened his voice and said, "It's okay, your teacher told your mother, and your mother must be helping you." ”
Getting Cui Niangzi's words, Shen Nianxiang pondered for a while and said: "I like Duan Feibai." ”
"Duan Feibai?" Cui Niangzi knows him, after all, Duan Feibai is the leader of the famous group of unprofessional sons and daughters in the capital, and a large group of people came over this morning, where is there a bit of a famous son-in-law, and those who don't know think it's a gangster on the street.
"How can you fall in love with him, it's just that he has a good face, a little white face, and there are a lot of good-looking men born in this Shengdu." Shen Nianxiang actually looked at Duan Feibai, which made Cui Niangzi very anxious.
