As soon as Xiao Zhi left, Zheng Erzhu hurriedly went to the back kitchen to talk to Shen Shiliu about this, Shen Shiliu pondered, Luhou Mansion seemed to have heard that although it has been an old household in Kyoto City for many years, it is now weak. The son of the old prince died early, and he failed to continue the honor, and the grandson is young and has not had a chance to enter the court, so the status of the Hou Mansion is not embarrassing or embarrassing.

"I see." Shen Pomegranate responded, even if the momentum was weak, it was better than nothing, and she was trying to break into the circle of noblewomen, which was also an opportunity.

In the evening, Shen Shiliu told Du Xuanmo about this, and Du Xuanmo thought it was okay.

"The Hou Mansion doesn't have much to do with it, but it's safe." Du Xuanmo said, but added after speaking: "This time it's okay for Luhou Mansion, but if it's someone else, you have to think about it, there are a lot of open and secret battles in Kyoto City, even if it's an invitation, it won't be without the slightest purpose." "If people think that their Du family is on the side, many things will not be clear in the future.

"I know, I'll be cautious in the future." Shen Shiliu said, don't do it well, she "penetrated into the enemy", that is the whole family.

Du Xuanmo nodded, and then said: "Lu Guogong was awarded by virtue of military merits, and his prestige in the army is still there, but it is a good opportunity, after you go, act at the opportunity, if the people in Luhou Mansion do not have any crooked thoughts, you can simply walk around in the future." ”

Shen Shiliu nodded, understanding Du Xuanmo's thoughts in his heart, but Du Xuanmo didn't seem to be too interested in "lady diplomacy".

Shen Pomegranate According to the agreed time, the restaurant at home was closed for a day, Du Niangzi knew what Shen Pomegranate was going to do, so she naturally raised her hands in favor and made one less day's money, which is not worth mentioning compared to entering the circle of noblewomen!

"If you go, you must have a good relationship, and the marriage of your two sisters will depend on you alone in the future!" Du Niangzi said, her expression was very solemn.

Shen Shiliu smiled bitterly, pondering that the burden on his shoulders was not light.

Du Xuanmo saw that Jingwen didn't have anything to do, so he said directly: "Take Jingwen with you." ”

Shen Shiliu didn't object, Jingwen was sensible, and she wasn't a bear child who would cause trouble, so she could relax a little when she had someone to accompany her.

Du Xuanmo squatted down and said to Jingwen: "Your sister-in-law can be handed over to you, you must take good care of it, don't let those noble ladies bully you." ”

Jingwen smiled and nodded: "Brother, don't worry." ”

Shen Shiliu was speechless and held her forehead, how worrying is she?

got into the carriage, Shen Shiliu looked at the clothes on her body, she usually wears plain clothes on weekdays, but now Du Niangzi specially asked her to dress more grandly, she is still a little unaccustomed.

"My sister-in-law looks good like this." Jingwen touched Shen Pomegranate's hand and said.

Shen Shiliu smiled and pinched Jingwen's nose: "Look at you and your brother, it makes me seem like the second Tun has entered the city, sister-in-law, I have also seen a big scene, okay?" ”

Jingwen nodded, but she didn't say anything, and the meaning was obvious.

When he arrived at Luhou Mansion, Shen Shiliu handed over the post prepared by Du Xuanmo, and the little guy at the door directly led Shen Shimei and Jingwen to the garden.

Along the way, Shen Shiliu felt that his eyes were about to be blinded.

Pavilions, rockeries, and flowing water do not need to be said, the most important thing is that even the floor tiles used for paving are marble with exquisite textures, which looks like landscape paintings.

"Rich!" Shen Pomegranate muttered quietly, natural marble is expensive!

Jingwen said with a smile: "Although this pattern looks exquisite, but if you look closely, the color is not very uniform, and it is not a good thing!" ”

Shen Shiliu looked at Jingwen in surprise, and suddenly remembered the origin of this little girl, and when she remembered the things in that little baggage, Shen Shiliu was also relieved, what good things have Jingwen not seen? In comparison, she really became an old hat!

"I finally know why your brother asked you to take care of me!" Shen Shimei's heart is dripping blood, she has always been proud of her "affordable" characteristics, but the more she cares, the more careful people are, and now she is really uninformed.

Shen Shiliu walked all the way, and had to sigh why these officials had to squeeze their heads into Kyoto City, even if Kyoto City was accompanied by kings and tigers, they still came one after another. An outdated Luhou Mansion can still be so magnificent, what does it look like when it is in the middle of the day?

"It seems that your brother is still not popular enough......" Shen Shimei thought that Du Xuanmo was the emperor's celebrity, and when he looked at it, he was a poor group.

Jingwen smiled: "Brother's road is different, although it is difficult in the early stage, as long as you can get up, these things will just be drizzle in the future!" ”

Shen Shiliu looked entangled and asked Jingwen: "How do you know everything?" ”

"My sister-in-law has to worry about trivial matters and small restaurants at home all day long, and I don't think about anything else, if it's nothing like me, my sister-in-law is also very transparent." Jingwen said with a smile.

Shen Shiliu touched Jingwen's head and said with a smile: "You still know how to speak, my sister-in-law loves to hear this!" "Her heart is already dripping blood, and now her knowledge is not as good as that of a little child, sad!

When they arrived at the place, Shen Shiliu and Jingwen were pressed into a seat, and as soon as Shen Shimei sat down, he looked around.

There are a lot of people who come, basically they are older and younger, and they are also dressed luxuriously.

"Jingwen, see who is the richest among these people?" Shen Shiliu whispered directly in Jingwen's ear.

Jingwen looked around, then leaned on Shen Shimei's ear and said: "The first one on the left is the best, and the body is dressed in Lingshui silk, although the second one is young and wears plain silk, but the lady is wearing plain yarn, which is not as good as silk, and the third one looks simple, but the Buddha beads in the lady's hand are agarwood, rare!" ”

Shen Shiliu gave Jingwen a thumbs up, and then looked at himself and Jingwen's body, it didn't seem that any silk and silk should not be done here.

Jingwen patted Shen Shimei: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, although our fabric is not expensive, this embroidery is the best I have ever seen." ”

"Really? Your sister-in-law, I embroidered it myself......" Shen Shiliu didn't expect that his hobbies could still be on the table.

"Is the Buddha bell flower on it embroidered by Ge Rang?" Jingwen asked with a wink of her big eyes.

Shen Shimei nodded, when Du Niangzi came back from making this dress, Shen Shimei felt that it was too rigid, so he wanted to embroider something to decorate, Du Xuanmo saw it and said to embroider Buddha bell flowers. She also thought that Du Xuanmo liked it, and the Buddha bell embroidered on the handkerchief she gave her at the beginning.

"The Buddha Linghua is noble, if it is placed in other people's homes, it may not be too careful, but my brother's background and identity in the court, it is just right to wear this clothes." Jingwen is right.

Shen Shiliu held Jingwen's hand and said, "If there is such a party in the future, my sister-in-law will bring you here!" "With Jingwen here, she is really relieved!

The people at a few tables sat down, looked at each other and nodded to each other, the family on Shen Shimei's left hand was a young woman with a girl who had not left the pavilion, Shen Shiliu estimated that it should also be a pair of sisters-in-law. The two families glanced at each other, and nodded with a smile, after Shen Shiliu responded, he felt that the two of them looked very kind, not like they were scathing, and they had to communicate well for a while as a breakthrough.

After a while, a lady came, followed by a young man, Shen Shiliu guessed who these two people were, but everyone next to him got up and saluted, Shen Shiliu also hurriedly got up, and then knelt.

"Say hello to the imperial concubine!" As soon as everyone shouted, Shen Shiliu knew that this woman was the imperial concubine.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and the concubines in the harem were not treated harshly, especially the virtuous concubine who raised the new emperor for a period of time in her early years, and the new emperor also respected this adoptive mother very much.

As soon as the imperial concubine sat down, she quickly asked everyone to get up and said: "The emperor is tolerant, and allows me to go out of the palace often to relax, and today I am just looking for everyone to come over and gossip, so don't be restrained." ”

Shen Shiliu looked at it, this imperial concubine was not very old, she was only in her forties, but her graceful and luxurious bearing was not ordinary. Shen Shiliu has also watched a lot of palace fighting dramas before, although it is a bit nonsense compared to history, but all the people who can laugh to the end in it are not ordinary people.

Xiao Zhi looked at the people below, and later called the little maid to ask which one was the Du family, and his eyes looked at Shen Shimei's side.

"Go, just say that I have invited Mrs. Du to lead her to the study." Xiao Zhi said a word to the little girl, and also told him to keep a low profile.

Shen Shiliu looked around, the imperial concubine was chatting with a woman, and the rest of the family were chatting together, she had already organized the language to "seduce" the pair of sisters-in-law on the left, but just as she was about to open her mouth, the little maid said that the little marquis was invited.

"Excuse me?" Shen Shiliu was surprised, and then looked at the little guy and nodded.

Shen Shimei's mind flashed countless palace fighting dramas, such as taking them to a remote place to commit harm under the guise of harm, but after thinking about it, she didn't know anyone, let alone make a feud, she thought too much, so she said to Jingwen and went to the study with the little girl.

The door of the study was open, and Xiao Zhi heard the sound of footsteps and came out directly.

"Mrs. Du is polite, Tang suddenly invited Mrs. to come today, in fact, there is something to discuss." Xiao Zhi said.

Shen Shiliu looked at Xiao Zhi first, and looked in good spirits, looking different from those second ancestors who bullied men and women.

"What the little marquis wants to discuss, is it my recipe for cooking?" Shen Shiliu raised her eyebrows and asked, if it weren't for this matter, why would people invite her to this tea party for no reason?

Xiao Zhi smiled: "Mrs. Du Bingxue is smart, that's it!" ”

Shen Shiliu smiled and said, "It's easy to say, it's just ......"

"If Mrs. Du has any conditions, just put it forward, everything is easy to discuss!" Xiao Zhi said that although a restaurant is only an industry in his hands, if the restaurant collapses, the money from the profits of so many other industries may not be able to fill a hole! If the door is closed directly, the face of the Hou Mansion will be lost, and others will say that their Xiao family is in decline!
