"Since there is an eldest princess here, I'm afraid this post can't be pushed." Yan said in a deep voice.

After all, they are relatives of the emperor, and the Shen family needs to keep a low profile recently, so as not to gossip.

Shen Qianwei bowed.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have told me about it when I came today, and the post was sent in the morning.

Since I was going to a banquet, I had to go back and prepare, so the plan to stay in the Zhuangzi for a few more days was in ruin.

On the same day, the family returned home together.

Yan called Su Junning over and prepared a birthday gift for the county duchess.

Shen Qianwei hummed and refused to let go of the lady, and followed in a daze.

As a result, he didn't understand much about the content of the discussion between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and finally found a book on business in Yan's room, covered his face and took a nap.

A few days later, Yan and Su Juning got into the carriage to the Changping County Mansion.

"Ning'er, take a look at it again, my posture of drinking tea and saluting, right?"

"And my clothes today, shouldn't be rude?"

"When you enter the house later, you must remind me not to say the wrong thing."

Along the way, Yan's kept chattering and seemed a little nervous.

Su Junning smiled, held her hand, and comforted her softly.

"Mother, don't worry, you have practiced very well in the past few days, and besides, you have also entered the palace for a banquet, this is just going to the county mansion, where will the rules be stricter than in the palace."

When she said this, Yan smiled a little worriedly.

"I won't tell you the truth, in the past, I went to the palace to go to the banquet, there were not many times, and I only sat at the banquet, and I rarely behaved, but I didn't make a mistake, today's banquet is more idle, and I have to talk to each other, the so-called more talk is more wrong."

It turned out to be worried about this.

Su Junning hooked her lips and patted the back of her hand.

"Don't worry, I'll be a little follower later, and I'll follow you."

She laughed at what she said, and the atmosphere eased a lot.

Not long after, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Changping County Mansion.

The guide servant who handed the post to the doorkeeper was quickly led into the inner courtyard.

After coming in, I saw that there were already a lot of people in the flower hall, and one of them, a lady in a purple shirt, wandered in the crowd, entertaining, obviously Xiao's.

Just as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were about to go over to say hello, the maid beside the woman saw them first and whispered a few words in the woman's ear.

Then the woman immediately turned around and came to them with a smile on her face.

"Oh, it's too far away, this is Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shao, the two heads are back, but don't be restrained, our family is the least red tape, just casual!"

"The younger generation has seen the duchess of the county." Su Junning bowed.

Xiao Shi hurriedly helped her, "Excuse me, but don't be so polite, the young lady and my eldest daughter should be about the same age, I think we can talk together, and when she comes, I will ask her to come and meet you." ”

Su Juning smiled and nodded.

Then he and Yan gave the congratulatory gift to Xiao, and then went to the side to drink tea and enjoy the flowers.

Usually this kind of banquet can be lazy, but now she and the Yan family are fragrant and sweet on the hot stove, and there are many people who want to tie up, so as soon as the Xiao family leaves, other people will come up.

Of course, there are also people with different hearts and mouths, who want to see the jokes of Yan's general's wife, who was born in a businessman, but in the past few days, Yan has strictly practiced the etiquette of the noble family, and Su Junning is by his side, so he has dealt with it decently and thoughtfully.

For a while, the contempt in the hearts of many people was a little less.

It's just that while he was talking, a figure slowly entered, which attracted Su Junning's gaze.

It's not someone else, it's the Duchess of Ruiguo, Xie Shi.

Now that the matter of the salt tax case is only done in secret, the Shangguo Mansion is still a relative of the emperor, and this kind of banquet is naturally to invite the Xie family.

Like last time, Xie Shi's face was a little haggard, but the shelf and demeanor were not lost, and they were still upright.

After entering, Xie Shi saw Yan and Su Junning who were surrounded by everyone, and his eyes darkened.

Now when she sees Su Juning, she can't help but think of her daughter.

Xu Sini has given birth in Zhuangzi outside, it is a boy, and the last time Su Junning met Xie Shi on the street, she went to visit Xu Sini.

But now the Shen family and the Su family are not something she can provoke at will, so no matter what she has in her heart, she has to hold it down.

Out of sight is clear, Xie simply avoided the people in the hall and went to the garden next to him.

Today's talk is about enjoying the flowers and watching the play, naturally it is to hold a banquet in the garden of the house, and the stage outside has been set up, and the slaves come and go, and are making final preparations.

Later, the feast began, and they ate and drank while listening to the play.

There were few people here, and Xie escaped from the crowd, so he breathed by the koi pond not far from the stage.

And she didn't stay here long, when two ladies who were going back to the flower hall after changing their clothes passed by, and when they saw her, they came up and talked a few words.

"Isn't this Mrs. Xu, why is she staying here alone and not going to drink tea in front? The refreshments prepared by the duchess today are said to be crafts from the palace. ”

The first lady to speak was a little chubby, round and jade.

Another tall lady followed.

"Seeing that Mrs. Xu's face is not very good, I think she came out quietly and quietly, after all, there was no such time to hide in the past, but now there is a chance."

As she said this, the woman had a vague smile on her lips, presumably sarcastic.

Xie Shi was already nervous now, and after the two of them said this, his face suddenly sank.

"What do I want to do, when will it be your turn to put the beak, since I want to tie up the upstart, why don't I hurry up and hurry over with my pants, otherwise I won't even be able to see the corners of other people's clothes later, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to my family when I go back."

These two women Xie are a little bit of a mirror, and they are not very high official positions in their families, and they were like this when they first scolded her, but because they didn't enter the stream, Xie didn't pay much attention to it, and now they want to step on her to slap others.

Don't!

"You!" The fat lady glared, and was about to say something, but was pulled by the person next to her, and then suppressed her anger again, and snorted coldly, "I still think I am a high-ranking person, what kind of shelf." ”

He dropped these words, shook his hand and left.

Jingzhong Danfan has some ways in his hands, even if he doesn't know the whole picture of King Chen, he can guess a little bit, but he was forced by Emperor Jianning to give a gag order in disguise, and no one dares to say it on the surface.

But the Xu family is about to decline, which is a tacit matter for everyone, so naturally they are no longer polite.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Xie Shi's heart was as burning as he couldn't bear the anger, and he only pinched out a few red marks in his palm before recovering his complexion.

At this moment, she suddenly understood her daughter's state of mind, and she also tasted Xu Sini's hatred for Su Juning.

But the Xie family's disgust and hatred are not only for Su Junning, but also for the Shen family, especially Shen Qianwei.

This Shen Qianwei harmed her daughter, and successively cut off the road of the Seven Princes and even King Chen, not only that, but he stepped on the white bones of the Xu family, but became the auxiliary minister selected by Emperor Jianning for the grandson.

Obviously, the grandson also has the blood of the Xu family in his body, how can he Shen Qianwei!

Thinking of this, the dark light in Xie's eyes flickered, anyway, she probably didn't have many days to plan, so she couldn't make the Shen family so proud!
