Chapter 21: The Question of Face
The eldest princess of Fuqing married Wu Shiyan, the former champion, and the husband and wife were harmonious after marriage, even if there was only one daughter under her knees, the concubine did not take a concubine. In ancient times, it was really a rare thing to be an only child. Looking at it this way, Wu Shiyan must be an extremely kind and loving man, the eldest princess of Fuqing also has a good reputation in the capital, and their daughter's conduct is definitely not much worse. So Jinshu put a tick behind Wu Xiang's name.
Zheng Wenwei, the sister of the eldest concubine, can also be befriended, firstly, the curve is closer to the orthodox heir, the prince, and secondly, there will be no direct danger, tick.
Hou Yinian, the young lady of the British Earl's Mansion, is also a bold person, I heard that her two brothers are good with Shen Zhizhang, and if they can make friends with Hou Yinian, it will be much more convenient for Shen Zhizhang in the future.
Jinshu studied it carefully again, and ticked the name of Gao Shiyuan, the daughter of the Huan family, Jiang Zishan, the wife who was waiting for Zhantian last year, and the name of Wang Jizhen, his sister-in-law. Finally, he made a cross to Qin Yuhe's name.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and two traversers cannot be allowed in one era. According to Qin Yuhe's style of acting, he is writing poems and starting a restaurant to open a restaurant, which is to live a prosperous life, but Jinshu can't afford to provoke it.
After doing these things, Jin Shuchang breathed a sigh of relief, but secretly despised himself in his heart, people make friends by sincerity, but after weighing the pros and cons, she widely cast her net to focus on fishing.

It was another night of drinking and singing paper and gold fans all night, Shen Zhizhang and a few friends sat in the small courtyard drinking and talking.
"What? Brother Shen, you're not blowing, are you? The six princesses feasted the famous nobles in the capital, how can we still have our share? Hu Dawei was shocked, a gentleman like him from a businessman family, these famous nobles couldn't hide, and they never wanted to invite, this is the first time that the royal family has sent an invitation?
"Where to brag about?" Shen Zhizhang wiped his sleeves and slapped the table with a serious face: "I have written the list and will send it over tomorrow." I'm at home, that's to say, look at my concubine's room, isn't her princess still accommodating? If I don't open my mouth, where will she dare to send it? On June 23rd, you will come with your younger brothers and sisters! ”
"Hey! Little uncle, you just blow you, my six aunts have all moved out to live, and they are still pretending to be uncles here? Gao Xun deliberately ridiculed him and made fun of him with the word "uncle".
Gao Xun's grandfather, Lao Huan Wang, is the elder brother of the current emperor, who married and gave birth early and died early. After King Lao Huan went, his father was a knight, and he still married early and had children, and now Gao Xun and several uncles (princes and princes) are the same age, and they rarely change their names on weekdays, only to call people by making fun of people.
Shen Zhizhang teased and feintmed angrily: "Hey? You kid, you don't respect your elders! Your aunt is afraid that living in the Shen family will make my mother, brother and sister-in-law uncomfortable! Why else do you think? ”
"I see, it's the sixth princess who didn't take you seriously at all." Gao Xun didn't believe his ghost: "Brother Hu, did you say it?" ”
"Don't say it, I think it is." Hu Dawei grinned: "Brother Shen, don't be angry with me to be honest, look at our brother Hou, when you come out for a meal, his wife has to urge a few times, doesn't she just want to go back to accompany you?" Look at the big pony again, how much does the eldest princess care? I can't wait to hold it in the palm of my hand every day. If you want me to say, the more jealous this woman is, the more jealous she is, the more reassuring she is for men! Do you say, Brother Hou? ”
Hou Zhanfei was proud in his heart, but he pretended to be impatient: "The woman's family is the most annoying!" The one in my family, seeing that my sister-in-law urged my brother to win the list, arrested me in the study every day, and forced me to read and write to gain fame. That's it, I pretended to doze off and passed, but she had to send water, fruit and fans in a quarter of an hour or two, annoying to death! ”
"You just sour us bachelors!" Gao Xun punched him.
Hu Dawei patted Shen Zhizhang: "Did you see it?" That's what it means to take a man to heart. These days, I don't think the sixth princess wants to bother with you at all, hey! You're still beautiful here! ”
Shen Zhizhang pursed his lips, still wanting to talk nonsense, and said stiffly: "Nonsense, where is this powerful, I ......"
"Hey~ Brother Shen, don't be in a hurry to quibble, it's only June 17 today, you and the princess will invite us to a small meal first, won't we just take a look?" Gao Xun doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, he has been professionally dismantling the stage for 20 years, and his eyes are shining: "We don't ask for any luxurious meals, just eat some homely meals at home, so that the brothers can also meet the princess?" ”
"yes!" Hou Zhanfei clapped his hands and applauded, Shen Zhizhang used to laugh at him, and now he wants to pull Shen Zhizhang's pigtails and laugh at him.
"Both hands agree!" Hu Dawei was happy: "I haven't been to the princess's mansion yet, so let me get used to it first!" ”
The atmosphere is set to this, Shen Zhizhang is not advancing or retreating, and in the end, it is difficult to ride a tiger and can only go out and say: "Cheng, this is easy, you just wait for dinner!" ”
——————————
"!" Shen Zhizhang hugged his head and cried: "It's really been lifted!" I can say this, but if it's over, I'm afraid I'll lose face if I can't finish it! ”
While humming and chirping, he went to find the contract, and said to himself: "What he said is that all kinds of banquets cannot be shirked, but after all, he is a princess, how can he eat with them?" Even if they agree to a banquet, what good words can they say at the dinner for these ruffians and hooligans? No more trouble. Shen Zhizhang, Shen Zhizhang, you really lifted a stone to shoot yourself in the foot! ”
While he was talking to himself, his mind was racing at the same time: let's probe the princess's tone first!
But that day, I didn't see her again, and I had to find some reason to meet her first. However, if you take the initiative to come to the door and wait for the summons to look too shameless, it is still ......
Shen Zhizhang slapped his head, jumped up and walked towards Old Madam Shen's courtyard. It's about to light up, it's time for my mother to wake up, right?
——————————
In the morning, Jinshu received a list of banquets sent by Shen Zhizhang.
"These people?" Nishiki asked, dotting the paper.
"Yes." Xia Aya frowned and was a little angry: "The slave maid told me about the Dou Ling banquet a few days ago, and today they sent the list over. Princess, why don't we sift through them, most of these people are ...... There are also some businessmen, what if they collide with nobles? ”
"If you want to invite, please don't come. If we pick and choose to send invitations, favoring one over the other, we will definitely be embarrassed when we turn around, and it will not be good to make trouble when the time comes. Jin Shu rubbed his temples and looked tired: "We moved out of the Shen Mansion, and we have already made them unhappy." Think of a meal as making up for it. ”
"But ......" Xia Aya still wanted to dissuade her, Jin Shu said: "I've thought about it, most of the people here are male guests, and some of them have also been friends with the big horses, so there won't be any big contradictions." When the time comes, arrange a remote location for them, so that they can stay away from right and wrong. Then use luxurious tables, chairs and porcelain, and it will not look sluggish. ”
Chunjuan nodded in agreement: "This method is good." ”
Xia Aya wanted to say something again, but saw Jinshu waving his hand: "There's no problem, right?" That's it, the personnel are almost decided, and you can send an invitation. The rest of the work is hard for you to do, I believe in your strength! Get busy, now I need to catch up on a nap. ”
"Princess, the slave maid still wants to ask about the venue arrangement...... Xia Aya hurriedly seized the opportunity to ask questions, and only halfway through speaking, she saw that Jinshu had already yawned: "You can do these things." I don't have to worry about you doing it properly! If there are any other questions, you two can discuss them! ”
Chun Juan and Xia Aya choked, and watched Jin Shu quickly enter the back room with Xiaohuan and disappear behind the bead curtain.
"Princess, don't you want to look at the recipes, seats, processes or anything like that?" Xiaohuan wondered and asked, "Are you so relieved of Sister Chunjuan and Sister Xia Aya?" ”
"What's so worrying about this?" Jin Shu went to bed: "There is no suspicion of employing people, and no suspicion is needed." Your princess, I'm smart! If I have to intervene in everything, they will be afraid to make decisions, grasp the big and let go of the small, and let them worry about the rest! ”
"I think you're just trying to be lazy." Xiaohuan pouted in disbelief.
"What's the matter, you should learn more from Chun Juan and Xia Aya, and you can also help, can't you?" Jinshu gave her a roll of the eyes: "I'm going to take a nap!" I slept late today. ”
"Princess, but the slave maid remembers that the queen mother has personally witnessed the banquet, for fear of making mistakes, aren't you afraid of making mistakes?" Xiaohuan doesn't give up, but still has to ask the questions in his heart.
Jinshu was good-tempered, so he simply stopped pulling the quilt and patiently explained: "Xiaohuan, in fact, some palace maids like Chun Juan and Xia Aya know more about the world than me, a pampered princess. They asked me if I just had an idea to see if I could do it, not that they wouldn't, you know? ”
Xiaohuan nodded as if he understood.
"A good relationship between leading and being led is built on mutual trust. If they have talent, why should I bother? Jin Shu took it for granted: "At the moment, they are anxious, and I can take a nap." Besides, haven't you noticed that although the queen is in charge of the affairs of the harem, she is also older than other mothers? ”
Xiaohuan nodded vigorously and was convinced.
Jin Shu concluded: "So, even if I look at it, I can't understand anything, and they are still the ones who do things." If I am one day late, they will be worried for one more day, and they will be attentive for one more day. There's a lot of knowledge in it, so let's talk about it later! Jin Shu pulled up the quilt, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.
It's just that after lying down for less than a cup of tea, Chun Juan hurried in: "The princess is not good, Old Madam Shen is suddenly sick, I want you to go back and have a look." ”
Jin Shu sat up suddenly: "What? ”
