Chapter 17: The Banquet of Huofu

Mama Hu's incident in the Summer Palace was like a stone being thrown into the calm lake, and after a wave circle, it sank into the lake and returned to calm.

After all, Shen Yafei had just returned home, and Mrs. Shen and General Shen were still paying attention to her. In addition, Shen Yafei had already spoken, Dabao and Zhiyu only had to accompany her, and they didn't have to do any other work. Although everyone else has opinions, they don't dare to say anything.

Yesterday, Mrs. Shen sent someone to spread the word and asked Shen Yafei to accompany her to Huo Shangshu's house today to attend the ceremony of his granddaughter Huo Wu, Miss Huo Ningyu.

Originally, it was planned to let Ah Xiu go with her, but when it was time to go out, Ah Xiu and Ah Ali both had stomach troubles. wanted to change to someone else, but Mama Hu said that she was worried that others would not serve, and proposed to let Dabao follow.

As soon as Shen Yafei heard it, she knew that Mama Hu was going to make a big treasure, but she also had to pick a time, didn't she want to be with her outside?

Shen Yafei looked at Mama Hu coldly.

Mama Hu's back was cold, her eyes didn't dare to look directly at Shen Yafei, and she said, "Miss, it's not that the old slave doesn't want others to go with Miss, it's really that no one can make it." originally thought that the young lady would come back with Qiu'er and Dong'er, so the house only prepared two big maids for the call, and the others were all to promote the maids, and they couldn't do the fine work of serving people, let alone going out with the young lady. ”

Fortunately, Mrs. Shen didn't pay much attention to this matter before, and before Shen Yafei came back, she was responsible for everything in the Summer Palace. In order to save trouble, she only arranged two big maids in the Summer Palace, and there were no second- and third-class maids, so she went directly to the rough maids and mother-in-law. Therefore, at this time, this excuse is still very effective, who asked Shen Yafei to directly promote Zhiyu and Dabao to be big girls as soon as she came back, and she didn't get angry with her.

In the past few days, the two of them have been by Shen Yafei's side longer than anyone else, just chatting with Shen Yafei, occasionally reaching out to pour a cup of tea or something, and even putting on makeup and hair are all done by Ah Xiu and Ah Li. Ah Xiu and Ah Li had already complained to her, and she mentioned it to Miss, but Miss said that she had been like this before. sent them away like this, without saying a few more words, and dined at the same table with those two people every day, a treatment she has never enjoyed so far. Therefore, not only other people can't look at Dabao and Zhiyu, but Mama Hu is also holding her breath in her heart, and she also has complaints about Shen Yafei.

Usually, Dabao and Zhiyu are tired of being with Shen Yafei every inch, and it is not easy to renovate them. This time there was a rare opportunity, Mama Hu asked Ah Xiu and the others to take the opportunity to take advantage of the illness, and they would see how these two vulgar country maids dealt with the activities of the big gate of the capital. Cut, when the time comes, it won't be embarrassing, it depends on whether Shen Yafei will be so precious to them at that time.

After Mama Hu said this, Shen Yafei realized that it seemed that this Summer Garden was really what Mama Hu said, and the only people who could take it out were Ah Xiu and Ah Li, and the other people below were all doing rough work, I am afraid that they couldn't even know a single big character, let alone deal with such a big scene.

But since she returned to Beijing, even storytellers in the capital have her stories. So many people want to see how she Shen Yafei makes a fool of herself, so it is better to obey them. So Shen Yafei accepted Mama Hu's proposal and went out directly with Dabao.

Mrs. Shen, Shen Yaru, and Lin Wanxin were waiting outside the gate of the Shen Mansion, and when they saw Shi Dabao following Shen Yafei, the corners of their mouths twitched. Since Shen Yafei returned home, the two maids beside her have been famous since the first day, and since then, the rumors have continued, and the fame has directly overshadowed Shen Yafei, the master of the second lady of the Shen family.

Mrs. Shen rubbed her aching head and asked, "Why don't you take Ah Xiu or Ah Li with you?" After all, you have just returned to the capital, and the two of them are more familiar with the situation in the capital, so it will be more convenient to take them there. ”

"Oh, the two of them had a stomach trouble this morning, and they can't go." Shen Yafei said indifferently and got into the carriage.

Seeing that Shen Yafei didn't care, Mrs. Shen was even more brainy, and she didn't even have the heart to pay attention to Shen Yafei's rude behavior of getting into the carriage directly without saying hello. Mrs. Shen had no choice but to say to the remaining two daughters: "When you arrive at Huo Mansion, you two look at her a little more, don't let others get into the cracks and be bullied." As soon as you arrive at Huo Mansion, you will follow her directly, don't let her out of your sight, and mention her if you have anything. And if you see your father and brother, tell them that you must stay by Yafei's side, and don't let her be alone with anyone else. Try not to let others see our Shen Mansion jokes. ”

After getting into the carriage, Mrs. Shen was still not at ease, although she instructed Shen Yaru and Lin Wanxin, Mrs. Shen's heart was still in her voice. After all, in the Shen Mansion these days, all the jokes came from the Summer Palace.

This Ah Xiu and Ah Li, I really don't know what they are eating, and they all drop the chain at a critical time. It seems that we can only pray that the people of Huo Mansion will not pay attention to Shen Yafei today. However, when she thought of the big treasure around Shen Yafei who was as strong as a black bear, she knew that her thoughts were to talk about the night.

Shen Yaru and Lin Wanxin are also timid, if Shen Yafei makes a joke in Huo Mansion today, the two of them can't stand it, no matter how you say it, it will be the face of the Shen family. So, the two of them were in the carriage thinking that they must stay by Shen Yafei's side today.

Huo Mansion and Shen Mansion were not far away, the carriage was swaying, and in four quarters of an hour, Shen Yafei and the others arrived in front of Huo Mansion.

Huo Shangshu is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites of the Celestial Dynasty, and when the first emperor was there, he followed the first emperor to sort out the dynasty outline, and his prestige was great and his influence was far-reaching. Emperor Huaqing also attached great importance to him, so the invitations of the daughters of the Huo Mansion spread all over the palaces with status in Beijing. At this time, the gate of Huofu was already full of people.

Shen Yafei and the four of them got off the carriage in turn, and Shen Yaru and Lin Wanxin hurried over to hold Shen Yafei as soon as they got out of the carriage, as if they were afraid that she would run away.

The four mothers and daughters of the Shen family got out of the carriage and met the lady and lady in General He's mansion. Mrs. He got out of the carriage and saw the big black bear standing behind Shen Yafei, the corners of her eyes couldn't help twitching, the ridicule was in her eyes, and she stepped forward enthusiastically to hold Shen Yafei's hand, and exclaimed: "Yo, Ayin, this is our second daughter." Hehe, it's really good-looking. It's worthy of being a girl, your daughter! ”

Dabao crossed Shen Yaru, stepped forward and took Mrs. He's hands, held them tightly, "hehehe" tilted his head shyly, smiled stupidly, and shook his body wrigglingly.

Suddenly, all sides were still, and everyone looked at Dabao and Mrs. He's hands in a daze.

Shen Yafei felt so embarrassed, but it was not easy to show it, so she could only look at Dabao's thick silhouette innocently. You stinky big treasure, you're embarrassed to do anything, as if it's you. Oh my God, can a brain ache be contagious? It's really the wrong person, it's so greasy this early in the morning, it doesn't seem to be good, right? Dabao, please be reserved.

After Dabao received Shen Yafei's resentful eyes, he shyly shook off Mrs. He's hand, scratched his head, and smiled: "Hehehe." ”

Mrs. He was stunned by the tall black shadow in front of her, she didn't react for a while, she even forgot to breathe, her face was flushed, and she said stupidly: "Ha! ”

Although Dabao's reputation has spread throughout the capital from the day he entered Beijing, the close contact is still very scary, okay. Besides, it doesn't seem like you're talking about it, what are you smirking at?

Even if Mrs. He has seen a lot, she has never encountered this kind of scene, and she really doesn't know how to react well.

Shen Yaru and Lin Wanxin's faces were not much better, they were really embarrassed, and they suddenly regretted getting out of the car so quickly. I knew that I was cured like Ah Xiu and Ah Li.

Mrs. Shen was all happy, watching her rival eat deflated, she felt good, and for the first time she found that this big girl next to Yafei was still good. Of course, it would be better if it was done in a different way, by a different person.

"Sister Wu, you came so early. Ouch, what a coincidence. Mrs. Shen stepped forward with a smile and looked at the two girls behind Mrs. He, "Yo, who is this?" Isn't it the child of Sister Wu's relative? Yo, look, this little appearance, she looks so good-looking, so handsome, bring Huo Mansion, Sister Wu is not afraid of being taken away by a lady. At that time, Sister Wu will be terrible, and she will be distressed. ”

Mrs. He was stunned, originally to see the Shen family's jokes, but now she was ridiculed by Mrs. Shen, she has been taking this concubine to the banquet for a long time, she Li Qinyin will not know?

Originally, to participate in the banquet outside, ordinary concubines were not qualified to participate, but because this concubine was very popular with General He, even her lowly aunt was General He's favorite concubine. No, this and that concubine blew the wind next to the general's pillow, saying that her daughter had also reached the age of kissing, and wanted her to go out to see and see.

Mrs. He didn't want to take such a thing out, but she couldn't resist the majesty of General He and Old Madam He, even if she was reluctant, she had to bring it out. Who made this little slut's aunt turn out to be the most beloved maid by the old lady's side.

This little slut's aunt will answer her in the house, and her daughter will come to answer her when she leaves the house.

Mrs. He has always hated Mrs. Shen the most, because the two are both famous talented women in Beijing, and they are also married to the generals of the Celestial Empire at the same time. But her husband Li Qinyin is single-minded, and she is the only woman by her side for so many years, and other women can't look down on her. And her husband's concubines were carried into the house one by one.

It doesn't matter if she Li Qinyin has a good husband, and she has a few good children. I have no concubine for many years, and I have given others a handle to ridicule.

Mrs. He lowered her eyes to cover the cruelty in her eyes, and when she saw the smugness on the little slut's face after being praised, she couldn't wait to tear her face: "Sister Li, it's funny, this is my daughter." ”

"Daughter?" Mrs. Shen didn't believe it, "You don't just have two ······" Then he looked like he was in a trance and closed his mouth.

"It's not too old to come here, bring it out to see it, so that you can find a good mother-in-law." Mrs. He gritted her teeth and said.

"Sister Wu is worthy of being a good example of a good wife and mother, and she is so dedicated to the marriage of her concubine, which is really worth learning." Mrs. Shen said with a smile.
