Chapter Forty-Six: Downfall?
In the afternoon, the passenger ship stopped at Yangzhou Wharf.
Shen Tang stood behind Shen Xingwan, waiting for the guests to arrive almost before slowly taking her off the boat.
As soon as she landed on the shore, a Mama Zhou who had been waiting for a long time walked up with two maids, "Is it Jiangling Second Master Shen?" We were ordered to pick up the old lady into the city. ”
Shen Tang said a few words to Mama Zhou without being humble or arrogant, and Mama politely asked them to luggage, "The two of you will follow me, and the carriage will be waiting in front." ”
The group walked for a while, and sure enough, as soon as they walked out of the dock, the story flow saw the waiting carriage.
"Girl, please get in the car." Mama Zhou said respectfully.
"Drive!"
Suddenly, a young man galloped on his horse, running straight towards Shen Xingwan.
Shen Xingwan stood in place, raising his eyes and his eyes were slightly cold, and the whole person was motionless.
Sure enough, a second before the horse was about to kick her, it stopped in time.
"The little girl has good guts."
The young man on the horse was dressed in a black and gold-rimmed suit, and the hairband of the same color on his head fluttered in the wind.
Shen Xingwan remembered that sentence in an instant-the young man in fresh clothes and angry horses.
It's a pity that the young man's eyes when he looked at her were full of provocation.
Mama Zhou said on the side, "Seventh Young Master, why are you here?" ”
Shen Guijiu, who was called the Seventh Young Master, looked at Shen Xingwan with a pair of dazzling eyes, "I heard that the new sister is very beautiful, I came to take a look." ”
After speaking, he waited for Shen Xingwan to reply with a proud face.
Shen Xingwan calmly retracted her gaze, lowered her head and pretended to tidy up her skirt, and went straight to the carriage under Shen Guijiu's hot gaze.
Shen Guijiu, who was completely ignored, was stunned for a moment.
Then he laughed, "Heh, you're quite grumpy." I hope my sister has always been so temperamental. ”
Shen Xingwan rolled his eyes in the carriage, and soon heard the sound of horses' hooves, lifted the curtain and saw that the seventh young master had already ridden away.
Mama Zhou in the back took the maid to a car alone.
The eldest girl Qinghong couldn't help but ask, "Mama, what do you think of this young lady?" ”
She has always been a third-class girl, and she finally managed to find a way to be selected this time, but she didn't expect to be assigned to this young lady from the countryside.
"It's really good-looking, but I can't see my temper for the time being." Mama Zhou said truthfully.
Another little girl couldn't help but whisper, "It is said that her grandfather is just a concubine in a certain room." ”
Among the young ladies of the Shen family invited this time, the status can be said to be the lowest category.
Qinghong's hand pouring tea paused, "I just have to do my classification well, no matter what her background is, she is always the master." ”
When Mama Zhou heard this, she glanced at Qinghong, she was a clear person who could hold her breath calmly.
I had the heart to mention a few words, took the tea poured by Qinghong and took a sip, "This young lady is indeed not obvious in terms of background, and of course she has her particularity in being put on the invitation list." ”
Qinghong immediately said sincerely, "Please also ask Mama for advice." ”
"This Miss Xingwan, because of some mistakes and the daughter of the Hou Mansion, before the age of seven, as the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, received the cultivation of a top famous lady."
Qinghong and another little girl couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
"And such a thing!"
Mama Zhou smiled slightly, "You know Shengshi Academy, right?" ”
The two of them nodded, there are many literati and ink writers in Jiangnan, and the wind of learning is very strong. Speaking of men, there are four major colleges, each leading the way.
Among the female students, only Shengshi Academy is the most prestigious, even if it is only located in a small Gangneung.
"This Miss Shen has not been decadent once she fell, and she has been in the top three in the assessment of Shengshi Academy for three consecutive years, and she even won the first place last year." Mama Zhou said, and she couldn't help but show an appreciative look on her face.
She is a housekeeper, and she can be regarded as a pair of sharp eyes to practice by the master's side.
This little girl is definitely not simple.
Shen Xingwan didn't know that others were talking about her, and while looking at the customs and customs of Yangzhou through the carriage, she enjoyed eating the tea and snacks prepared in the car.
"You eat some too." Shen Xingwan said to Banxia.
Banxia ate two different pieces of dim sum and couldn't help but say, "Miss, this taste is not inferior to the sum of Xiangfu." ”
"This Shen family... It seems that I underestimated it. Shen Xingwan said with a sigh.
The original text was written from the perspective of the heroine, and nothing related to her was written at all.
And she did have a preconceived idea of the Shen family, and she always thought that she was going to take the route of farming when she came back to the Shen family, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.
"After entering the Shen Mansion, you have to find a way to inquire more about the news, and you should spend money."
"I understand." The young lady nodded.
After walking for more than an hour, the carriage finally stopped.
"Miss, please get out of the car." Mama Zhou's voice sounded outside the car.
Shen Xingwan got out of the car and looked up, and the pavilions and pavilions covering a wide area were located, and the main house of the Shen family was surrounded in the center.
Huan was born in Banxia and couldn't help but gasp, this scale can almost become a city of its own in the capital.
Shen Xingwan's face was not obvious, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Is this the so-called clan that lasts for a hundred years? What about it has already been down?
Just at a glance, you can almost get a glimpse of the deep heritage inside.
Mama Zhou led the way in front, "Miss, please come with me." ”
Shen Tang walked to Shen Xingwan's side, and the expression on his face was inexplicably a little dignified.
The group walked on the paved floor of the bluestone road, and finally Mama Zhou led them into a very delicately arranged courtyard.
"Please Miss and Master live here first." He pointed to Qinghong and said, "If you need anything, just look for her, and she will serve Miss during this time." ”
This shouldn't be the main house, Shen Xingwan knew in his heart, "May I ask Mama, can we come and go freely?" ”
The purpose of her coming to Yangzhou was not for this inexplicable and wonderful flower-viewing banquet.
Mama Zhou couldn't help but glance at her, and said respectfully, "Miss is a guest, of course, she can move freely, and she can go wherever she wants." ”
Shen Xingwan nodded, and Banxia naturally handed over two purses, obviously one for Mama Zhou and the other for the little girl.
Mama Zhou took it and quickly said goodbye, sighing in her heart that she had really stayed in the Hou Mansion, and she couldn't be treated as a country girl who didn't know anything.
"The slave maid is called Qinghong." Qinghong quickly went to Shen Xingwan's luggage.
After staying on the ship for two days, Shen Xingwan was a little tired after all, "Take us to the room where we live first." ”
"Yes, Miss come with me."
Qinghong took Shen Xingwan into the inner courtyard and pushed open the door.
Shen Xingwan glanced at it casually, and the layout was very elegant, and he could see that he had put his heart into it.
Qinghong is a good-eyed one," "Miss Lai is also hungry, so the slave maid will go and let people pass the food." ”
Consciously quit and left the space to Shen Xingwan.
Along the way, I didn't know where to run to play, and the fat meow jumped out.
Shen Xingwan glared at him fiercely, "Useless scum system." ”
Fat Meow: Grievances... He didn't do anything.
