Chapter 164: Family Affairs
The days passed in a flash, Dong Lihua punished Moon Shadow for being grounded for a month, copied "The Female Ring" a hundred times, and only completed it forty times on the eighth day of the neighborhood, but it was all written by Moon Shadow herself, and there was no ghostwriting, just because she found that writing could make people's hearts calm.
"County Lord, the Shen family sent someone to deliver a letter."
Rosewood walked in with a letter in her hand, and Moon Shadow put down the pen in her hand and said lightly, "Take it apart and take a look." ”
"Yes," Zi Sandalwood replied, and immediately tore open the envelope, because Moon Shadow still had a lot of words that she couldn't recognize, so she could only read the letter.
"Sister, it's an invitation to Mrs. Shen's fortieth birthday."
"Oh, you really invited me."
took the letter in Zi Zhan's hand and glanced at it, and recognized that it was Shen Liunian's handwriting, then he Mrs. Shen would accept herself as her goddaughter on her birthday, and she deceived Dong Lihua to ask for 200,000 taels to honor Mrs. Shen.
The princes and nobles of the birthday banquet will inevitably be present, and what if they show their stuffing in public?
"County Lord, great, Shen Furu invites you to the banquet, so that the grounding can be lifted."
Rosewood didn't know the reason for this, so she was genuinely happy that Moon Shadow was liberated.
"Hehe... Is it..."
Moon Shadow made a smile that was more ugly than crying, and the red sandalwood was confused, and was about to ask for something when she was pushed out by her master; "That's... Zi Sandalwood, you go and help me take care of Yun'erha, don't worry about me. ”
Closing the door, Moon Shadow sighed with a lack of confidence, she needed to calm down and think about how Mrs. Shen should pass this level.
But after thinking about it, she came back and forth, and the only solution she came up with in these two times was to really dedicate the 200,000 yuan to Mrs. Shen to make incense money, but she was reluctant!
How could it be possible to give away the silver that Fei Fei took back so hard to give it to others, but in fact, it is not a question of money or not, but Dong Lihua wanted the 200,000 taels, but he lied to Mrs. Shen, but in fact Mrs. Shen didn't know.
After thinking about it, she could only ask Shen Liunian for help again, but she couldn't get out now, and Yun'er was injured and couldn't run errands anymore.
When it came to Mrs. Shen's birthday banquet, the nobles of Chaoyue City could be said to be pouring out, the Shen family is a special existence among the four major families, they are the most popular among the four families, except for spending money, the others have always been low-key.
From the conversation between Dong Lihua and the Zhao family, I knew that this was the first time that Shen's mother held a birthday banquet, and the last time Shen Zhai held a banquet was when Shen Liu's parents got married twenty years ago.
When I arrived at Shen's house, the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion stopped far away, and I wanted to ask why, because the front was crowded with high energy, I couldn't squeeze in at all, so I could only get off the bus and line up, according to today, even Concubine Shen Shu in the palace had to personally go out of the palace with the king's congratulatory gift to help Mrs. Shen celebrate her birthday.
With such an honor, Moon Shadow couldn't help but wonder if this Shen family was really just an ordinary family?
The venue where the Shen family spread out the banquet was the size of a dew football field, and Moon Shadow looked around, which could be regarded as understanding what it meant to be more magnificent than the royal family.
Wind music silk sound, a joyful image, as Shen Furao entered, everyone sent congratulatory messages to him, and finally squeezed through the crowd Moon Shadow was able to catch a glimpse of the honor of Shen Liunian's mother, and couldn't help but gasp, sure enough, there must be a son and his mother, Shen Liunian was born in the Nine Domains, although his mother was old, but her face was not dyed with the slightest hint of wind and frost, and her eyebrows were still full of grace, you can imagine how captivating the country and the city were when he was young.
"Today, thanks to all of you who are willing to come to the humble room for the banquet, the concubine is very moved, and specially prepared delicious wine and food, I hope that all the adults, ladies, sons, and sisters can enjoy it to the fullest, without restraint, and don't let the concubine feel that she is not well entertained."
Mrs. Shen stood on the upper seat in a gorgeous dress, with a graceful posture, and immediately a noble lady said: "Where is Mrs. Shen, you are willing to invite us to come, that is our honor." ”
Moon Shadow glanced at the past, and saw that there was an extraordinarily dressed woman, not like a family, and then looked at the nobles who were ranked first, and all of them had a look of stammering on their faces.
What kind of virtue can this Shen family have, is it just rich? Moon Shadow couldn't help but mutter.
"Didn't Mrs. Shen want the third sister to be her goddaughter, why haven't you seen her look at you from beginning to end today?
Yueyao, Yueru, and several other sisters who can't be named all sat at the same table with Yueying, as soon as Yueyao ridiculed her words, the other sisters also covered their lips and smiled, but they didn't dare to be too obvious, after all, everyone knew about the incident in the Zhao family last time, Dongli Yueying had a violent tendency, this was already a conversation in the royal city, and no one wanted to touch her brows on such a day, after all, this guy didn't look at the occasion.
"Hey, why don't you see Shen Gongzi's figure today?" Yueru looked around and asked, looking at Moon Shadow.
The implication of the words can be heard by anyone, it really alludes to the fact that the relationship between Moon Shadow and Shen Liunian is not ordinary, no, and soon a girl in a lilac skirt sitting next to Yue Yao spoke; "I originally only heard that the county lord of Lanling has a great relationship with the Seven Princes, and the county lord mobilized the entire escort army to go down to the river to salvage on the day when the county lord fell into the water, but I never thought that the county lord's connections were so extensive, and one Seventh Highness was not enough, and he actually had a great friendship with Shen Gongzi."
These words, twisting and turning, just one meaning, ironic her water-based Yang Huabei, Moon Shadow sneered in her heart, and glanced at the girl who said that; "I look at the clothes and jewelry on this sister's body, presumably the honorable official is only four grades, right?"
When asked like this, the purple-clothed girl suddenly looked unsightly, and looked at Yue Yao with a look of help.
Yue Yao helped her hair and said: "Today is Mrs. Shen's birthday banquet, and no officials below the fourth grade are not allowed to bring their families in, and the third sister is now also the county lord of the monarch's own title, how can she expose the shortcomings of other people's families so much?" ”
Others followed the word; "Yes, I didn't expect the county lord to look down on us so much."
The people on the table next to them looked over one after another, and saw that they all bowed their heads except for Moon Shadow, and then thought of the style of this Lanling County Lord, and naturally decided that it was Moon Shadow who bullied them, and even more young people wanted to stand up for Yue Yao and others, but they had to wait and see because of Moon Shadow's fierce reputation.
Moon Shadow sneered and looked at the purple-clothed girl; "Since you also know that I am the county lord of the monarch himself, and you dare to criticize the county lord with the sister of a four-rank official family, do you know what the crime is according to the laws of the Yuan Kingdom?"
"I..."The purple-clothed girl realized that she might have come out of her mouth, raised her head and looked at the moon shadow with a frightened face, "Courtier... The courtiers are ignorant, and they ask the county lord not to be surprised. ”
"That's it, today is Shen Furao's birthday banquet, I naturally won't do anything to you, but in the future, I have to remember, be cautious, don't let others take the curtain gun!"
Moon Shadow glared at Yue Yao coldly, and when she saw her expression like eating a fly, she suddenly felt a lot more comfortable in her heart.
