Seeing the carriage coming, the little guy at the door immediately trotted forward and opened the curtain, the coachman put down the pedal, and the old lady led Shen Yuechen slowly down, followed by Chunxi and Chunying.

The old lady then joined the Xiao family mother and daughter, and the maid of the Zhu family led the way.

Entering the gate of Zhufu, you can see a hundred-year-old tree in front of you, with lush branches and leaves, thick and straight, very imposing.

The maids let them walk all the way to the Changchun Garden, where seasonal fruits and delicate snacks were already prepared to entertain the guests who came to the door today.

The road is full of green leaves, bluestone paving, comfortable and cool to walk, not to make people sweat.

Changchun Garden is the largest garden in Zhufu, which is planted with all kinds of strange flowers and grasses, the flowers bloom undefeated at four o'clock, and they are full of dazzling colors and fragrant. Every year, according to different seasonal solar terms, Zhu Mansion invites dignitaries and dignitaries from the Texas area, and famous families come from their homes to enjoy flowers and tea, on the one hand, they are vassally elegant, and on the other hand, they contact their connections.

However, today's flower-viewing banquet is slightly different from usual, and the guests invited today are all female dependents, and they are personally received and arranged by the second grandmother of the Zhu family, Chai.

Because there are always patients in the family, today, Li and Chai are dressed in a very low-key manner, not wearing gold and silver as everyone imagined, covered with pearls, their hair is just a homely style, and the clothes on their bodies look very elegant. However, even if the two of them are low-key and do not have too much decoration, they still look very noble, and they have their own bearing in their gestures, which is prohibitive.

Mrs. Shen had only met with the second grandmother of the Zhu family Chai Shi a few times before, and drank tea twice, so she could barely be regarded as having a friendship, and as for the eldest grandmother of the Zhu family, Li's family, it was the first time she had officially met, and she knew very well about her personality preferences and how she behaved in the world, but she only learned from the words of others that she was a very proud woman.

Indeed, the eldest grandmother of the Zhu family, the Li family, originally didn't take the Shen family in her eyes at all, but because the old ancestor had spoken before, she had to come over to say hello.

Old Lady Shen smiled earnestly, but Li Shi didn't like her expression of over-expectation, and exchanged a few words with her in a cold tone, and her sharp eyes inadvertently swept over Xiao Shi, who was standing behind her with heavy makeup, and frowned invisibly.

Xiao Shi was embarrassed by her look, and hurriedly smiled: "The flowers in this garden are really beautiful, delicate and tender, and very pleasing." ”

"It's rare that Second Mrs. Shen has such an elegant scene, so please watch it slowly."

Lai's tone was lukewarm, and he didn't bother to look at Xiao Shi again, and then turned around to entertain the other guests.

Xiao's expression suddenly became scornful, and he snorted a little dissatisfied in his heart, but as soon as he remembered the purpose of his coming here today, he returned to normal, looked at the two daughters beside him, and said softly: "Look at the opportunity, behave well." ”

Shen Yuechang replied in a low voice, looking at her with some disgust in her eyes.

At this time, the people in the garden were dressed up like flowers, and it was not easy to attract the attention of the Zhu family. Shen Yuechen couldn't bear to chase after the two ladies of the Zhu family like everyone else, and only took advantage of the excuse of enjoying the flowers, and quietly hid to the side, Chunying followed behind her step by step, and after a while, she whispered anxiously: "Miss, it's rare to be able to go out for a walk, why don't you go over and meet two new friends?" ”

Looking at the battle of the Zhu Mansion today, it is clear that the flower appreciation is fake, and the mutual view is true, here the crowd is full of beauty, and everyone in front of them is charming, thinking that the Mrs. of the Zhu family will definitely be able to find a candidate who satisfies herself, why should she not do her best to make up for this troublesome excitement?

"I'm not good at talking, and if I say the wrong thing, it's not good." Shen Yuechen said lightly.

When Chunying heard this, she didn't say anything, so she had to follow her silently and sighed a little regretfully.

The eldest lady is an unlucky person in the end, a good opportunity that other girls can't hope for, but she wasted it like this.

Looking at the garden one by one, Li also found a few good ones, but none of them could completely satisfy her.

The second girl of the Li family is just the right age and beautiful, but she looks a little bewitching and unified. Although the three girls of the Wen family are also good-looking, their voices are too rough, and they lose their temperament as soon as they speak. As for Shen Yuechang in the second room of the Shen family, her appearance is indeed first-class, and her temperament is not bad, but she has a mediocre background, her father has no fame, and her mother has no virtue, so she is really a little too high-ranking Jintang.

Jintang is the eldest son, although he is a stepfamily, he is also a wife, so he can't be so casual. Li Shi pondered in his heart, the body of the eldest and youngest grandmother Qin Shi was weakening day by day, and maybe one day it would suddenly disappear.

At the beginning, the father-in-law came forward to marry Qin Hongjuan, the daughter of the hottest family in the capital. This was originally a once-in-a-lifetime good family affair, but what happened, the Qin family's life was blessed...... However, Jintang is still young, and he must be taken care of by a clever person who knows the pain and heat.

Thinking like this, Li Shi's gaze couldn't help but fall on Shen Yuechen at the end of the right-hand side, she had been sitting there upright, listening to the elders around her with a smile on her face, her eyes were reserved, and at a glance it made people feel that she was a quiet and dignified lady.

The child looks very well-behaved, and she is also delicate, and among the official daughters present today, she is counted as the daughter of the long-term house with the highest background and a legitimate name. It's a pity that people outside say that she is a broom star who was born with a mother, and it is said that even the people in her own family do not want to see her, so she avoids being sent to a nunnery for foster care.

Looking at Shen Yuechen's quiet face, Li's heart tightened again: the old ancestor seemed to have some thoughts about her, otherwise, he would not have temporarily proposed to let his younger siblings go to Shen's house that day.

The thoughts of the ancestors are always difficult to understand.

However, no matter how good she is, she is not the right person after all, right? Even if the ancestor said that the eight characters were appropriate, she couldn't nod, such an ominous woman would never be able to enter the door of the Zhu family.

Shen Yuechen chose a seat next to the old lady and sat down in the morning, drinking tea while listening to the gossip between the old lady and the eldest lady of the Zhou family, but the two of them were chatting on the surface, but outside the words, they still compared each other with a stronger meaning.

Shen Yuechen was disgusted when she heard this, and as soon as she wanted to get up and walk, she felt someone approaching behind her. She turned her head without moving, and saw the second grandmother of the Zhu family, Chai, walking over with a graceful gait, with a smile in her eyes.

Shen Yuechen hurriedly got up to greet him, and hurriedly saluted Fu Yifu: "Say hello to the second grandmother." ”

Chai smiled, and after she stood up straight, he took her hand and said, "Girl, come with me to the main courtyard, my ancestor said he wanted to see you." ”

As soon as these words came out, the banquet suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes looked at Shen Yuechen in unison.
