In the evening, after bathing, Banxia combed Weixi's half-dried hair while whispering the news from the inquiry.

"The old lady is summoning all the girls in batches, and the main courtyard is very lively every day during this time."

"What the hell do you want to do, there should be some news leaking out, right?" Shen Xingwan yawned.

Banxia's hand that was combing her hair paused, "I heard that the old lady wants to choose a girl, recognize her dead son, and raise her as her granddaughter." ”

So in the garden where so many girls from the family and side branches came, it seemed to be full of flowers, but in fact, there was a surge.

Shen Xingwan's lazy expression, which was originally like a kitten, suddenly froze, "You say, what do you mean by my father and they asked me to come?" ”

Banxia sighed in her heart, she saw Shen Xingwan's efforts for her family over the years.

"Perhaps, the master just wants to let me go through the motions and get to know more people." Banxia said with some lack of confidence, "The competition seems to be extremely fierce, and the girls who basically come want to be favored by the old lady." ”

Shen Xingwan didn't speak, closed his eyes, and tapped his fingers on the dresser one by one, sorting out the information in his head.

Although the Shen family is the head of the second room, as the old lady of the big house, the only son has died a long time ago, and she herself has basically been living outside the city for all these years, not asking about the world.

But this old lady Shen herself was born in the Xie family, the first family of Qingliu who has produced three first assistants and protégés all over the world.

What's more, she is the aunt of the former prince, and even when the Son of Heaven mentioned her, she has always been rewarded and respected.

No one is a fool, no matter how low-key this old lady is, no one dares to underestimate the energy behind her and the network of relationships involved.

Shen Xingwan really had a headache, she really didn't want to get involved.

There is no free lunch in the world, and the gift of fate has long been secretly marked with a price.

How much benefit can be gained by becoming the granddaughter of this old lady, then there will be a corresponding price.

Shen Xingwan opened his eyes, "Heh, it's my dear father who surprises me even more." ”

Although from the first day she entered the Shen family, she felt that Shen Tang was a smart person, she didn't expect him to be so ambitious.

"Miss..."

Banxia was still about to say something, but the courtyard suddenly remembered Qinghong's voice.

After a while, there was a knock at the door.

"Enter!"

Qinghong lightly pushed the door in and saluted Shen Xingwan, "Miss, someone came from the old lady's courtyard just now." ”

"What's the matter?" Shen Xingwan asked knowingly.

"The old lady asks the young lady to go to the yard for tea tomorrow." Qinghong said.

"Got it." Shen Xingwan said in a light tone, unable to hear joy and anger.

Qinghong bowed her head and stepped back neatly.

"Miss, you're not happy." Banxia said affirmatively.

Shen Xingwan sighed, "The leisurely days are over, and people's hearts are really the most unbelievable thing." ”

The next day, Shen Xingwan got up early to freshen up.

A water-blue scattered flower water dance skirt is elegant and light, and the gradient skirt corners are brilliant when walking, which is very moving. The hair accessory wears a set of silver butterfly hair accessories, and the butterfly's wings flutter gently in the breeze.

"Let's go to dinner first, miss." Qinghong said respectfully.

Shen Xing came to the dining room in the evening, and Shen Tang, whose whereabouts had been erratic in the past few days, was actually there.

looked at Shen Xingwan, who was dressed up, and showed appreciative eyes, "Wanwan has always been very good." ”

"Father early." Shen Xingwan said hello with a smile, didn't say much, and ate quietly under the waiter of the maid.

Shen Tang felt uneasy inexplicably, and always felt that Shen Xingwan's whole person in front of him was different.

For a moment, Shen Tang would feel that the little daughter who likes to be coquettish, likes to tease cats and dogs, and is lively and cute is just an illusion in his memory.

Shen Xingwan turned a blind eye to his inquiring gaze, and still used breakfast gracefully.

Quickly put down the chopsticks in his hand, "I'm done." ”

Shen Tang also put down his chopsticks, waited for the maid on the side, and began to clean up the table.

The two walked to the side and sat down, and immediately a maid served mouthwash tea.

Shen Tang couldn't help but speak, "I heard that the old lady summoned you today?" ”

Shen Xingwan lowered his eyelids and took a sip of tea, "Yes." ”

"Is there anything my father wants to say to me?" Shen Xingwan suddenly looked sideways at Shen Tang, and the cold in his eyes flashed.

Shen Tang was stunned for a moment, "Don't be nervous, behave well." ”

Shen Xingwan looked at him innocently, "Is that all?" ”

Shen Tang nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Miss, it's time for us to go." Qinghong came in and saluted.

Shen Xingwan didn't even look at Shen Tang when he got up, and walked slowly away with Banxia like an old lady in the courtyard.

Shen Tang looked at her back walking against the light and felt the cold.

It took a while before he muttered, "Am I doing something wrong?" ”

Although when the third uncle found him, he clearly told him that this was a good opportunity.

He himself actually didn't have too many illusions, and his surname was Shen, and their identity was too low. He didn't think he would win.

He didn't quite understand why Shen Xingwan looked like he was angry, he knew that he was coming to Yangzhou, and he had been very happy.

The typical Jiangnan style of the entire Shen Mansion is a wealthy clan that has been passed down for generations. The unique delicacy of Jiangnan reveals a connotation of years of precipitation.

Such a good scenery, Shen Xingwan was not in the mood to appreciate it.

She was thinking about what kind of attitude she should use to face this old lady, and she was also thinking about whether Shen Tang really had no extra thoughts?

brought her over, and until the last moment did not tell her the true purpose of this flower-viewing feast.

"Miss, the front is coming soon." Qinghong reminded in a low voice.

Shen Xingwan retracted his mind, looked up and looked around, and found that he was already standing in the inner courtyard.

The cyan stone slabs, the quiet and orderly maids, and the simple and elegant yard.

Shen Xingwan squinted his eyes and let it be.

Regardless of whether Shen Tang is ambitious or not, in front of a thousand-year-old fox like the old lady, she clearly knows that it is not her time to be clever.

There is a high probability that this old lady will not choose her, and she does not have too many advantages in comparison.

Shen Xingwan followed Qinghong into the courtyard with a calm expression.

A big girl with a calm temperament greeted her, and glanced at Shen Xingwan without a trace, "Madame is waiting in the pavilion in the backyard." ”

He saluted Shen Xingwan again, "The weather is good today, the old lady invites the young lady to go to the backyard to enjoy the flowers." ”

Shen Xingwan smiled slightly, "It's me who bothered me, and asked my sister to lead the way." ”

Every move, there is no cowardice or fear at all.

Sure enough, the old lady broke the invited girl, it wouldn't be too simple.

Qinghong cautiously accosted, "Sister Bai He, are we late?" ”

Bai He smiled slightly, "It's just right to come, the old lady only invited Miss Xingwan today." ”
