Chapter 84: Be careful to drown yourself first
In a blink of an eye, it was already the fifth month of the lunar calendar, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Shen Xingwan was sitting by the window with the window open to blow the wind and cool off.
The courtyard in the afternoon was quiet, Qinghong opened the curtain and came in and said, "Girl, Second Miss, please go to the Youzhu Pavilion to talk." ”
Shen Xingwan was a little surprised, she was nominally the granddaughter chosen by the old lady, but in fact, as long as the family tree was not changed, her name was undecided.
In the Shen Mansion, she became a special existence. After going crazy, everyone didn't take the initiative to provoke her, nor did they take the initiative to talk to her, and directly treated her as a transparent person.
Shen Xingwan tidied up his hair and makeup in the mirror, held a fan in his hand, and walked away.
True to its name, it is surrounded by bamboo forests, and several houses used for occasional play are all made of bamboo, making it a good place to escape the shade.
When Shen Xing arrived late, Shen Ziyin, who was wearing a lake-colored tulle skirt and only had a simple crystal on her head, was stroking the qin.
The sound of the piano is long, and it is calming to listen to.
Shen Xingwan stood quietly and listened, and after playing the song, he said with a smile, "The beauty is matched with a famous piano, which is pleasing to the eye." ”
"Isn't it a good play?" Shen Ziyin asked rhetorically.
"The piano is good, and the people are even better-looking." Shen Xingwan said sincerely.
Shen Ziyin asked people to hug the piano down and personally invited Shen Xingwan to sit down.
"This is a mulberry just delivered, my sister will try it."
It was unexpectedly down-to-earth, Shen Xingwan forked a piece with a thin bamboo skewer and tasted it, sweet and sour, and the taste was good.
"Second Miss invited me to come today, I don't know what's the matter?" Shen Xingwan took the initiative to ask.
It's been almost half a month since she moved in, and this second lady has never shown up, so there must be a reason for taking the initiative to find her this time.
The second lady took a delicate post from the maid's hand and handed it to Shen Xingwan, "Lady Salt Patrol Yushi personally wrote it." ”
Shen Xingwan opened it and took a quick look, inviting her to attend the Dragon Boat Race on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and by the way, to participate in the Dragon Boat Festival banquet that will be held in the evening after the race.
Shen Xingwan closed the post and didn't speak for a while, she is now embarrassed, this kind of large-scale banquet is basically a place with a high incidence of accidents.
Whether to go or not is a question worth thinking about!
Anyway, she can use the excuse that her body has not yet been cultivated, and the fact that she was poisoned is already well known.
Shen Ziyin couldn't see through her thoughts for a while, so she had to smile and said, "My sister will go with me when the time comes, so I can take care of it." ”
Shen Xingwan thanked politely and politely, "Thank you, Second Miss, for your hospitality, whether you can attend depends on my physical recovery." ”
Anyway, there were still a few days, and she could weigh it up before deciding.
Shen Ziyin poured a cup of tea for Shen Xingwan with her own hands, and said gently, "This is a tradition in Jiangnan, old families and upstarts will have a fleet to participate, and the officials will all be present to have fun with the people." ”
Shen Xingwan listened carefully with bright eyes, looking like a good baby listening to the class.
Shen Ziyin paused for a moment and continued, "At that time, the noble ladies and famous ladies of the entire Jiangnan will also be present. It's a good time to break into the circle and make friends, and my sister should take this opportunity. ”
The implication is that he hopes that Shen Xing will be late, and it sounds completely for her good.
Shen Xingwan lowered his head with a bitter expression, "What the second miss said makes sense, it's just that my identity is embarrassing now, and it won't be good to bump into the nobles when the time comes." ”
Shen Ziyin couldn't take what she said, so she had to comfort, "Sister doesn't have to be arrogant, this is a rare opportunity." ”
"Think about it, I'll go if my health allows." Shen Xingwan said softly.
Shen Ziyin didn't say much, and the two of them talked about poetry, books, piano and painting for a while, you and I seemed to be chatting vigorously, but in fact they were trying to talk nonsense.
When he came out of the Youzhu Pavilion, Shen Xingwan only felt tired, it turned out that chatting with the so-called talented women and famous ladies was such a tiring thing.
Shen Ziyin's confidant, the big girl, saw the person leave and said softly, "Miss, what do you think of her?" ”
Shen Ziyin sighed a little tiredly, "The details are true, the words are not leaky, and the mind is guessing, like a small fish with a slippery tail." ”
In the end, she didn't say anything, and she didn't see what her attitude towards this banquet was Shen Xingwan.
If you are shallow-eyed, or in a hurry, you will definitely not miss this time, but unfortunately Shen Xingwan has not thought about it yet, and there are a bunch of reasons.
Sure enough, there is a reason why she was chosen, and her mother is right, she should calm down and face her.
Shen Xingwan returned to the room, put the post on the table, and Banxia brought water for her to wash her hands.
Fu Jingchao, who was crooked on the chair with the same image of the uncle on the side, teasing the cat with a cat teasing stick, took the post and glanced at it unceremoniously, "Mrs. Yushi's invitation post, what a girl can't ask for." ”
Getting it means getting the admission ticket to the famous circles in Jiangnan, and some nouveau riche and small families want to get one even if they try their best.
Shen Xingwan wiped his hands dry and said indifferently, "You mean I should go?" ”
Fu Jingchao's eyes darkened, "Of course you should go, it's better to take me to meet the scene." ”
She may not think much about it when these words come out of other people's mouths, but from the corners of Fu Jingchao's mouth, she immediately smells the smell of conspiracy.
Shen Xingwan waved his hand, "You all go down, I'll stay by myself for a while." ”
The maid in the room retreated cleanly, and Shen Xingwan stood by the window and looked at Fu Jingchao with a smile, "Do you think I should go?" Or do you want to go? ”
"Is there a difference?"
Shen Xingwan sighed, "Then I won't go, I don't dare to be interested in this kind of banquet at all." ”
Fu Jingchao was choked by her and gave up playing tricks on her, "Okay, I want to go." ”
Shen Xing looked at him at night, as if he wanted to see a flower on his face, "What do you want to do?" Let everyone see how dark your skin is, or how big your feet are..."
It's really as difficult as ever, Fu Jingchao put away his casual attitude and suddenly asked, "What do you think of the Salt Patrol Imperial History family?" ”
"No opinion." Shen Xingwan said without hesitation, "Half a month ago, I was just a country girl, and it was not my turn to have any opinion on such a big official. ”
The scene was a little awkward for a while, and Shen Xingwan was completely a topic terminator.
"You're really..."Fu Jingchao laughed angrily.
Shen Xingwan snorted coldly, "If you don't speak sincerely, don't expect me to cooperate with you, I'm not interested in what you're going to do, you'd better not drag me into the water." ”
Fu Jingchao's expression froze, "Do I have to pull you into the water?" ”
"Be careful to drown yourself first." Shen Xingwan looked at him warningly, "Don't make me feel sorry for saving you." ”
Fu Jingchao looked at her for a long time, "Actually, sometimes you don't have to be so smart, just open and close your eyes." ”
"Heh, I don't know how I will die if I die one day." Shen Xingwan said sarcastically.
How can the identity of the person who can make Old Madam Shen come forward to cover her whereabouts is simple.
Although she didn't know what he was doing in Jiangnan, she knew that things were not simple with her toes.
