How can it be?

This was Shen Qiutan's first reaction, and Shen Qiutong also looked incredulous.

The three gilded characters of "Spring Banquet" on the pink flower paper were particularly conspicuous, Shen Qiutong only glanced at it and felt that his whole body was boiling, Shen Qiutan asked Xiao Cai: "Is this post only me, or do the sisters in the family have it?" ”

There are red beans and hawthorns, and small vegetables and melons rarely can enter the house, but Xiao Cai has heard of the majesty of this nine girls, and now when he heard the nine girls ask, he immediately said: "The slave doesn't know!" ”

"Ninth sister, I'll leave first." Shen Qiutong couldn't sit still.

The ninth cousin didn't know when she first arrived, but she knew that the Shen family hadn't received such a heavyweight post for a long time.

The circle of magnates in the capital is not big, but it is not small, although the Shen family still has the false title of marquis, it is almost on the edge. It's not that the Shen family hasn't received posts in recent years, but most of them are dispensable. It's the kind of post that wouldn't go if it went, and it might be a pity not to go.

A super heavyweight post like the eldest princess of Longqing has never been seen before.

Shen Qiutong left almost in a hurry, she wanted to go back to see if she had also received the post.

…………

The biological mother of the eldest princess Longqing is the current queen mother and the younger sister of the present, although the fief is not as good as her aunt Changshou eldest princess, but the power is the same. And this spring banquet will be held every year, and it is the most popular banquet for the ladies in the capital in spring.

Lin Fuzi heard that Shen Qiutan had received a post about the Spring Banquet, so he didn't teach today's lesson, so he first popularized the origin of the Spring Banquet for Shen Qiutan.

In her opinion, since the eldest princess of Longqing gave Shen Qiutan a post, Shen Qiutan should seize this opportunity. Because in every aspect, this is the best time to enter the upper circle and improve your worth.

But Shen Qiutan frowned, and seemed to have little interest.

"Nine girls, prepare well, in addition to the last few schoolwork, I will make up for you the rules for receiving people and things." The original intention of Derong Fang was to help some homeless and unintentional older palace maids to find a good livelihood, and Master Lin was also born in the palace.

"Why did you invite me?"

How dilapidated the Shen family is, I'm afraid everyone in the capital already knows. Shen Qiutan really couldn't figure out why he was invited. Moreover, it seems that many people are looking for something like that, this eldest princess of Longqing doesn't want to participate in it, right?

Shen Qiutan asked Qiao Shan, and Qiao Shan assured that his father had absolutely no corruption and misappropriation of reserve grain, but the discrepancies and departures of the grain in Jibei Prefecture were unknown to people close to Qiao Shan. Today, although my father's reputation has been restored, there is still a mystery as to where the grain went.

Lin Fuzi was worried when he saw her young age, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "Your Shen family is indeed ...... this year Well, for the eldest princess of Longqing, there is no more of you, and there is no less of you, I don't know if I want to see what you will look like after being a loyal minister. ”

Shen Qiutan nodded subconsciously.

Lin Fuzi said: "This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and many noble ladies in the capital are waiting for this post every year. If you don't go, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go out in the future, and it will also anger the eldest princess of Longqing. ”

Yes, others may not be able to go if they rush to go, but you receive an invitation but don't go, and the saliva of those girls alone can drown yourself; And go by yourself, it is indeed as Lin Fuzi said, the invitation of the eldest princess of Longqing is just a whim, even if she goes, she may not be able to remember herself, but if you don't go, I am afraid that you will be on the blacklist of the eldest princess of Longqing.

"I'll go, please teach me more."

Seeing that Shen Qiutan had finally figured it out, Lin Fuzi nodded, and he was relieved.

…………

Seeing off Master Lin, Shen Qiutan shrugged his eyebrows again.

She knows that her and Changzhen's every move is probably under the surveillance of others, so even if she wants to do something, she always has to weigh it in advance, she now seems to eat and drink well every day, but in fact, in this inner courtyard, there is no credible person.

Whether it's red beans or peach blossoms, she can't believe it.

She can only watch more and use it first.

Not long after, Hongdou came to report: "Girl, several other young ladies have also received posts." ”

Shen Qiutan put his mind at ease, in this way, I am afraid that it is really because the Shen family has had too many jokes recently, and the eldest princess of Longqing wanted to see the girls raised by the Shen family, a strange family.

It is now the beginning of April, and the spring banquet is scheduled for April 12, which happens to be the customary day off of the college. There was not much time left for Shen Qiutan to make amends. In the remaining days, she cheered up, and while studying her homework, she worked hard to learn the etiquette of this era, as well as to have a general understanding of the elite circle in the capital.

It was inconvenient for Qiao Shan to enter and exit the inner courtyard, so he thought of sending a genealogy of the relationship between the family and a general introduction of the officials in the capital. Although it was boring, Shen Qiutan knew the preciousness of this thing, and kept these intricate relationships in mind more and more carefully.

Soon, it was the ninth day of the fourth month, Shen Qiutan was wandering in the ocean of knowledge and couldn't extricate himself, and the winter suddenly came.

Fudong is the maid next to Shen Qiutong, and the last time Shen Qiutong came to Agarwood Residence, she was accompanied by her.

"Nine girls, our girl asked the slave maid to ask, she, the seventh girl, and the eighth girl have prepared clothes for the spring banquet, I wonder if the ninth girl is ready?"

Fu Dong said a word and left, not even asking for a reward.

Shen Qiutan's face changed, the sixth sister came to remind herself, and at the right time, she really didn't have suitable clothes.

The fourth aunt, is this revenge?

Shen Qiutan went to the chaise longue and said sullenly: "I won't go to the spring banquet of Lao Shizi." ”

Her voice was not small, and the dishes and melons were clear, and Hongdou hurriedly stepped forward: "It's a good thing to participate in the spring banquet, why didn't the girl go?" In case the eldest princess blames ......"

Shen Qiutan sat up suddenly: "That's what I said, then I'll talk to my grandfather first." ”

…………

Old Marquis Shen is old, and he does not live with Mrs. Yang, but lives in a courtyard by himself, called Yannian Courtyard, which means longevity, and only two old aunts take care of him on weekdays.

When Shen Qiutan came, the old marquis was boxing, but his movements were extremely slow, which was no different from the fierce fist technique of the old man of the Xiao family that he had seen at the beginning. Seeing Shen Qiutan coming, the old marquis took the sweat towel handed by his subordinates and wiped his sweat, and asked with a smile: "Why did you remember to come to grandfather?" ”

Shen Qiutan greeted him in a proper manner, and said with a sad face: "I want to tell my grandfather that I won't go to the spring banquet of the eldest princess of Longqing." ”

The old marquis frowned, and several girls in the family received the post about the spring banquet, but he was happy for a long time. With such an opportunity, how could he not go: "Why? ”

"The fourth aunt only makes clothes for the seventh and eighth sisters, and I don't have a mother, so I have no clothes to wear......"
