The wine was drunk until late at night, and Hotaru was urgently recalled because of her accident.

Now that she's fine, they'll soon set off for Mobei.

That's their place.

Before leaving, Beiqi looked at the young leader and sent out an invitation, "I hope that one day, the leader can come to the Northern Desert to have a look." There is a special scenery there, there are the most enthusiastic young people, and wonderful stories are staged every day. ”

It has its own characteristics that are different from those of Shikoku, and it can be said that it is a place outside the law in its own right.

Shen Xing, who had been drunk for a few minutes, moved, "I'll go." ”

Of course, she wanted to see what the legendary mercenary sanctuary was like.

The northern and southern kites quickly disappeared into the night, as if they had never been seen.

Qin Xuejian looked at her with strange eyes, "Why did you think of raising a mercenary in the Northern Desert?" ”

Shen Xingwan blinked his eyes drunkenly, "Because it's fun." ”

"I believe you're a ghost..."Qin Xuejian said speechlessly.

didn't bother with a drunk in the end, and reached out to help Shen Xingwan back to the room to sleep.

The next day, Shen Xingwan woke up from an unfamiliar room with drunken eyes, and it took a while to find that he was in Luoxia Pavilion.

Banxia came in and waited for her to freshen up, and it was not until she had breakfast that she took the car back to the Shen Mansion.

Probably I was too happy last night, and Shen Xing drank too much at night. Today, the whole person was very sleepy, and I went back to the yard to take a shower, and was about to continue to catch up on sleep.

Qinghong pushed the door and came in to report, "The eldest lady has someone over there, saying that the eldest lady invited the girl to go." ”

Shen Xingwan yawned and said unenergetically, "Re-groom me." ”

She has a good image of the eldest lady, and the eldest lady will not summon her easily.

There should be something.

Shen Xingwan pulled a simple hairstyle, wore a turquoise gauze skirt, and walked briskly to the eldest lady's courtyard.

The courtyard is still quiet and solemn, which is a little out of place with the lively and prosperous Shen Mansion.

"Girl, please." The eldest girl took Shen Xingwan to the study.

As soon as I entered, the cool air hit my face. Shen Xingwan glanced at it, and there was ice in the corners on both sides.

It seems that although the eldest lady is not in power, the authority is still there.

The eldest lady was copying Buddhist scriptures, and when she heard the movement, she didn't raise her head and said, "Sit." ”

Shen Xingwan sat down on a chair by the window, and Yahuan immediately served her tea and a cut fruit bowl.

Shen Xing unceremoniously ate a piece of peach and ate a few more grapes.

The eldest lady didn't put down the pen in her hand until she finished copying the last word, "In a few days, it will be the festival day of the pearl." ”

Shen Xingwan didn't speak, just listened quietly.

The eldest lady looked at her for a while and said, "If she is still here, she will definitely like you when she sees you, she has always liked smart little girls." ”

Shen Xingwan said, "I have always liked beauties, the eldest lady is very beautiful." ”

Otherwise, it would not have attracted Emperor Lu to marry her nephew in person.

The eldest lady showed a little sadness on her face, "I hope she is ordinary, whether she is married or not married in Jiangnan, I can guard her and protect her after all." ”

Shen Xingwan could understand her feelings, because she had gone through this pain of losing her loved ones.

However, she didn't understand why the eldest lady suddenly told her this.

No matter how they look at it, they can't be called familiar, at least not so much that the eldest lady can confide in her.

There must be something else.

Shen Xingwan was not in a hurry. While eating fruit, I waited for the eldest lady to get into the main topic.

After the eldest lady carefully sorted out the copied scriptures, she sat behind the desk and looked at Shen Xingwan a little tiredly.

"The master doesn't approve of you going to the family tree, I have already helped you convince him, you don't have to worry." The eldest lady said suddenly.

Shen Xingwan was surprised for a moment, and then immediately said, "Thank you." ”

The eldest lady said in a deep voice, "I don't need your thanks. ”

Shen Xingwan paused, swallowed the last piece of peach, and looked at the eldest lady calmly, "What does that lady want?" ”

The eldest lady leaned on her seat and said in a non-hurried tone, "The most prominent period of the Shen Mansion was when I was in charge of the family, I have a lot of friendships with the wives and ladies of many Gaomen clans in Jiangnan, and I am also familiar with the rules of communication in the circle, and my close friends in my youth are all at fault, and I have also made a lot of good fortunes over the years." ”

Shen Xingwan narrowed her eyes, the eldest lady was showing her connections and strength.

Each circle has its own gameplay and rules for each circle, and these backhouse circles composed of girls and ladies with extraordinary birth backgrounds are especially difficult to enter.

Just like Shen Xingwan, she has been staying in the Shen Mansion for a while, but she is rarely invited, and occasionally attends banquets, and no lady or lady will come up to talk to her.

Quite simply, she was not recognized and did not have a guide.

This kind of circle is generally passed down from generation to generation, and the elders of the family lead the juniors into the circle.

And the so-called back house circle should not be underestimated, the background of these ladies, the husband's family they married, and the various resources around them are originally a manifestation of strength.

Especially in officialdom, the so-called "lady" communication is the default means, and every official wife needs to learn to communicate with each other, and at some moments these exchanges will even affect the promotion of her son's husband in the officialdom.

"The big lady is very powerful." Shen Xingwan praised indifferently.

Sure enough, she was calm, and the eldest lady was satisfied with Shen Xingwan for two points in her heart, "If you want, these can be used by you to help you Jiangnan quickly gain a foothold and form your own network." ”

I have to say, it's still very tempting.

Shen Xingwan really needs the guidance of such elders, her background is a hard injury, and she has a natural disadvantage in this regard.

As for the old lady, she was in a delicate position, and it was impossible for her to take care of these things.

Shen Xingwan was silent for a while, "Then what price do I need to pay." ”

There's never a free lunch in the world.

The eldest lady suddenly came to her senses and looked at Shen Xingwan with a radiant look, "As long as you promise me one thing, everything in my hands can belong to you, and I will do my best to assist you and pave the way for you." You can step on my shoulders and go wherever you want! ”

The eldest lady almost promised to give everything she could, which was a bloody investment.

Shen Zhou was a little moved, of course, many things could be done by herself, but it would take more time.

And she just doesn't have that much time now, and she can't wait.

The eldest lady undoubtedly provided her with a better choice.

She really needs to do whatever it takes to quickly expand her power in a short period of time and make herself stronger.

No one knows better than she that the real storm is coming soon!

Shen Xingwan looked at the eldest lady, "What is the eldest lady's request, if it is too difficult, I am afraid that I can't do anything." ”

It won't be easy to get the eldest lady to give everything she has.
