didn't wait for the summons of the Queen Mother, but first waited for the invitation from Mrs. Lu herself, the 60th birthday of the old lady of the Lu family.

Shen Xingwan looked at the invitation in her hand and felt a little hot, after all, her relationship with the Lu family was very delicate because of the abolished prince.

The eldest lady on the side took it and looked at it, "If you read it right, it was in the name of Mrs. Lu in person, so it's not good not to go." ”

"You can look at me." Shen Xingwan was a little helpless.

"I heard that every year on Mrs. Lu's birthday, the saint will give a congratulatory gift, and this year is still the sixtieth birthday, if you don't go, it won't be good for your reputation." The eldest lady gave her an analysis little by little, "And the invitation she personally gave a few words is enough to affect your reputation and make it difficult for you to gain a foothold in the female circle." ”

Shen Xingwan has just entered Beijing, and it is a critical moment to build a network through communication.

Shen Xingwan snapped and closed the invitation, "It's not this time, there will be a next time, sooner or later, we will meet sooner or later." ”

If you really want to trouble her, there will always be a chance.

The eldest lady said indifferently, "At most, I will embarrass you, I won't do too much, after all, it is a birthday banquet, and the wealthy nobles in Beijing are invited, and it is not good to look good on their own face." ”

Shen Xingwan nodded, she was not afraid of coming to her, mainly because she was afraid of coming to Yin.

On the day of the banquet, the eldest lady of the Shen family took Shen Xingwan and Shen Qingran to attend.

Although Mrs. Shen also received the invitation, she was not ready to go.

The eldest lady said, "Qingran, your sister just came, you take her to take care of her a little more." ”

"My sister will follow me tonight." Shen Qingran gladly responded.

Although Fourth Uncle Shen is not in the service, he is a well-known Confucian. Shen Qingran has always been very good at dealing with people, and he has a good reputation among girls.

"Then it's going to trouble my sister." Shen Xing said late.

Outside the gate of the Lu family, Shen Xingwan opened a small corner of the curtain, and at a glance, the Lu family's mansion occupied almost half of the street, and the two tall stone lions in front of the gate showed their magnificence.

The carriage creaked into the backyard, and the three of them got out of the car, and immediately the maid in charge of the reception came over with a smile and saluted, "Mrs. and girls, please come here." ”

The banquet was directly placed in the largest courtyard of the Lu family, and when the three of them walked in, many ladies and ladies had already arrived.

The position of the Shen family is arranged in the middle, which is neither good nor bad.

Shen Qingran has participated in a lot of large and small banquets in Beijing over the years, and everyone is no stranger to her.

Therefore, the curious gaze fell on Shen Xingwan.

Not long after he sat down, a girl came over to talk to Shen Qingran and say hello.

"Hey, who is Qingran, this new girl, don't you want to introduce me?"

"It's just, it's a new face I haven't seen before."

Shen Xingwan wore a skirt brought over from Jiangnan, which was more elegant and beautiful than the gorgeous and complicated ones popular in Beijing.

In addition, Shen Xingwan's own temperament is matched with fresh and elegant makeup, which is another kind of good-looking, and it is also particularly conspicuous among girls.

Shen Qingran smiled and pulled Xingwan up, "This is my ninth sister Shen Xingwan." ”

Shen Xingwan smiled.

"My sister has just arrived, you have to take care of her more, don't bully her." Shen Qingran said with a smile.

"Tsk, when I have a sister, I forget my friends..."

"Do we look like bullies?"

Shen Qingran has a light and elegant personality, and the girls who have a good relationship with her also have good personalities. was very friendly to Shen Xingwan, asked her where the skirt was made, and asked her some scenery things in the south of the Yangtze River.

The atmosphere is very harmonious, and everyone gets along well.

The eldest lady also walked around and socialized with some of the wives she had been familiar with.

This banquet, so far, has unexpectedly made Shen Xingwan feel relaxed.

Until a gorgeous pink dress, apricot face and peach cheeks, looking at the delicate and lovely girl, the stars came like the moon.

A pair of beautiful big eyes looked straight at Shen Xingwan, three points of contempt and two points of anger.

"Who provoked her again, looking like she was going to eat people." There was a girl whispering complaints.

Shen Qingran whispered to Shen Xingwan with worried eyes, "Lu Wanwan, the daughter of Lu Guifei's brother, has always been the most favored. ”

Lu Guifei likes this delicate and bright girl the most, a little like her niece in her girlhood, and she loves her very much.

Therefore, the pet Lu Wanwan is different from her beautiful appearance, and her personality is very domineering and willful.

Lu Wanwan walked directly in front of Shen Xingwan and said unceremoniously, "You are Shen Xingwan?" ”

As he spoke, he looked Shen Xingwan up and down with critical eyes, and said with disgust, "The future princess is nothing more than that." ”

Lu Wanwan said arrogantly, "The little girl in the countryside, where is the brother of the last life." ”

Shen Xingwan looked at her with a smile, "I don't deserve it, is it that Miss Lu is worthy..."

"You..."

Lu Wanwan glared at her angrily, fortunately, she was not stupid. I know that even if I think so in my heart, I can't respond like this with my mouth.

"Hmph, it's just your life to pick up the cheap." Lu Wanwan continued to pick thorns, "Brother Shizi won't like you!" ”

Mrs. Lu Er, who had finished socializing, heard this as soon as she came over. Headache said, "Wanwan, you are naughty again, today you are the little master, you can't play tricks on the new guests." ”

Lu Wanwan snorted coldly, walked over to the second wife, and pulled her arm to coquettishly, "I'm just joking with her, where is there any trick on her..."

"Wanwan has always been cute, just a joke between girls."

Immediately, Mrs. accosted, and the matter was quickly brought away.

After such a fuss, several other girls also returned to their positions.

Shen Qingran lowered his voice and said to Shen Xing, "You be careful of her." ”

Shen Xingwan narrowed his eyes, "Why?" ”

Shen Qingran hesitated for a moment and said softly, "She has a very domineering personality and often bullies some girls. ”

Ordinary people don't dare to squeak at all, and the concubine and the waste prince have always favored her.

"She is a little different from Shizi, no matter if Shizi is cold and impatient, she can smile and stick to it." Shen Qingran said helplessly.

Although Fu Jingchao didn't eat her at all, he only felt that she was very annoying.

Lu Wanwan's temper is a little pampered, but his family background is top-notch, and he is also delicate and bright, and many sons are still courteous to him.

She is usually too lazy to take a look, and when she is in a hurry, she has not done anything like doing it directly and whipping it over.

Only Fu Jingchao is very different.

No matter how cold Fu Jingchao was to her, she always admired Fu Jingchao's eyes, and smiled at him very sweetly.

No wonder there is so much hostility towards her, it turns out to be Fu Jingchao's admirer, or "little fan sister." ”

Tsk, is it true that a sweet girl loves a cold man?

Shen Xingwan was quite calm, "Thank you sister for reminding me, I'll pay attention." ”

Lu Wanwan, who was coquettish with the second wife, did not forget to roll her eyes at Shen Xingwan's table when she passed by Shen Xingwan's table.

Shen Xingwan was instantly amused, but he was not angry.
