Chapter 63: Banquet Invitation

The next day, Sheng Qingyuan went to Zhuxinfang, and the two women came together, followed by their maids.

One of them is the wife of the prefect of Fushou City, Wang, and the other Sheng Qingyuan has never seen it.

All the guests came here, Sheng Qingyuan stepped forward and called with a light smile, "Mrs. Su."

Mrs. Su raised her chin slightly, looking extremely arrogant, and introduced to her, "This is Lord Liu's wife, or the daughter of the squire of the military department."

Saying that, Mrs. Su said meaningfully: "Speaking of which, Shopkeeper Sheng and Mrs. Liu also have a good relationship, Shopkeeper Sheng and Master Liu have lived in the same village since childhood, and they want to know Lord Liu very well, so it's good, Shopkeeper Sheng can have a good chat with Mrs. Liu."

After saying this, Sheng Qingyuan obviously felt that Mrs. Liu's eyes looking at her were suddenly full of vigilance, and said coldly: "Things in the mountain village, what is there to talk about, they are also from poor backgrounds, some people can break through the world with their own skills, and some people ............."

Mrs. Liu looked Sheng Qingyuan up and down with a look full of disdain, and said disdainfully, "No matter how you dress up, you're just a pheasant after all."

As she spoke, Mrs. Liu looked at Mrs. Su, with a little dissatisfaction between her words, and covered her nose with a handkerchief and said, "I thought you said that you were going to take me to such a good store, why did you come to such a store full of poverty and acidity, and you don't feel bad about losing your identity."

Mrs. Liu said again, "However, Fushou City is still a little worse than the capital, so it's no wonder that Mrs. Su thinks such a shop is good."

Don't think she can't hear that the Wang family is deliberately provoking just now.

Although she was indeed dissatisfied that Sheng Qingyuan and Liu Beichuan had a marriage contract, this was also their business, and as soon as the Wang family came, they wanted to provoke the benefits of sitting and reaping the benefits of the fisherman, which was a good idea.

Mrs. Su's face suddenly turned blue and red when she heard this, her hand holding the handkerchief tightened, she took a deep breath, and said, "This shop is not the best in Fushou City, but it is really good, after all, Shopkeeper Sheng has only come to Fushou City from the countryside not long ago, and it would be good to be able to make it look like this."

After a pause, Mrs. Su chuckled and said, "The reason why I brought you here is not because I heard that the relationship between you and Lord Liu doesn't seem to be very good, I guess, it may be that you and Lord Liu don't know each other well enough, you and Shopkeeper Sheng have more chats to deepen your understanding of Lord Liu, so maybe your relationship between husband and wife can be better."

Mrs. Liu's face turned completely cold, and she gritted her teeth and said, "The affairs of our husband and wife will not be bothered by Mrs. Laosu! If you have time, you should worry more about your own affairs, I heard that the prefect took another concubine to the mansion yesterday, but seeing Mrs. Su so calm, I thought I would have gotten used to it early."

The two of them had such a straightforward connotation in the store, even Minghan, Sheng Qingyuan was very happy to see it on the side, and he just had to grab a handful of melon seeds.

Other guests who originally wanted to buy bamboo carvings also simply found a place to sit down, pretending to be looking at the introduction of other bamboo carvings, but in fact, they couldn't turn a page for half a day, and their eyes fell on Mrs. Su and Mrs. Liu.

This kind of high-status person quarrels is particularly interesting to watch.

"This is Fushou City, I advise you not to go too far!" Mrs. Su said angrily.

"It's just a small Fushou City, what am I afraid of?" Mrs. Liu snorted coldly.

The prefect is Zuo Hui's person, Liu Beichuan and Zuo Hui don't deal with each other, so naturally the two of them can't be any better.

What about Fushou City? No matter how good it is, it can be better than the capital? What's more, this is just a small prefect, and if it is placed in the capital, it is nothing!

The two of them were arguing, and suddenly found that the surroundings were quiet, and when they looked again, the customers in the store had found a place to sit down at some point, with pastries and tea next to them, and they were looking at them with excitement and anticipation, as if they were watching a play.

Mrs. Su: "......"

Mrs. Lau: "......"

Then look at the Shengqing Garden not far away.

The little guy in the store happened to bring her a plate of melon seeds, and said to Sheng Qingyuan in a low voice: "This is what the second shopkeeper just bought yesterday, he swallowed most of it, and he hid the rest, and it was not easy to find it."

"Okay, okay, it's okay to have it." Sheng Qingyuan said.

picked up the melon seeds, and was about to swallow them, when he saw that Mrs. Su and Mrs. Liu did not continue to quarrel, and they were looking at her in unison.

The moment the three of them looked at each other, a deep embarrassment suddenly rose.

Sheng Qingyuan picked up the melon seeds in his hand and asked them, "Do you eat melon seeds? It's delicious."

Mrs. Su's face stiffened, and she squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "No need, thank you!"

Mrs. Liu's face was ugly for a moment, and then she put on her lofty smile again, "Shopkeeper Sheng is really leisurely and elegant, but this kind of thing should never be eaten by nobles of the family, it hurts a lot."

Mrs. Liu glanced at the maid next to her, and the maid immediately sent a post to Sheng Qingyuan, Mrs. Liu stroked her hair bun and said, "In two days, I will hold a flower-viewing banquet with the prefect woman, and the shopkeeper must appreciate his face."

Sheng Qingyuan looked at the post in the maid's hand, and when he was about to pick it up, the maid's hand was loosened, and the post fell to the ground, but the maid had already turned around and stood behind Mrs. Liu, looking at Sheng Qingyuan's eyes with a little disdain.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Song looked at Sheng Qingyuan as if they were ready to watch a good show.

Sheng Qingyuan glanced at the post on the ground, while sipping melon seeds, he looked through the account book, and said casually: "Two days later, I don't know if I am free, after all, the business in the shop is busy."

Sheng Qingyuan put down the melon seeds, looking very embarrassed, "After all, I and the two husbands at home can have no worries about food and clothing, I still have to work hard to make money, I really don't have so much time, but don't worry, if I am free, I will definitely go."

Mrs. Liu's face sank, and she asked in a cold voice, "Do you think that this little business of yours is more important than the banquet we invited?"

Mrs. Su also chimed in, "Don't be unclear about your own identity."

Sheng Qingyuan looked at them in surprise: "Why do you think that?"

The two of them softened their faces slightly, and they were about to speak, but Sheng Qingyuan then said, "For a little person like us, how can these two be compared? It's important that my business can give me a prosperous life, and that I can use the money I earn to help others."

After a pause, he said: "But a meal, a banquet, not only delay me to make money, but also give you gifts, the most important thing is that people like us from the countryside don't know the rules, if we accidentally say a wrong word, we may be arrested, I really can't draw it, I can't compare."

"Sheng Qing Yuan! Do you know what you're talking about?!" Mrs. Liu said angrily.

The playfulness on Sheng Qingyuan's face was mostly retracted, and he was a little more positive, and said, "If the two of you sincerely invite, I will naturally not refuse, but ......

Sheng Qingyuan glanced at the post on the ground again, and sneered: "I think it's better to forget it, I'm just afraid that I can't afford to climb high for the invitation of the two."

After speaking, Sheng Qingyuan made a "please" gesture for them.

Mrs. Su and Mrs. Liu's faces were ugly.

A woman from a rural mountain village dared to treat them so arrogantly.

Mrs. Liu glanced at the maid next to her, who hung her head and picked up the sticker from the ground and put it on the table in front of Sheng Qingyuan.

Mrs. Liu said to her with a cold face, "If you still want your shop to be able to open, then in two days, even if the sky falls, you have to come to me!"

Sheng Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, noncommittal to her words.

Coldly threw down such a sentence, and Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Su threw up their sleeves and left.

The eyes of the melon-eating crowd followed them until their figures disappeared from sight, and then they all brushed their eyes on Sheng Qingyuan's body.

Sheng Qingyuan spread his hands helplessly with a smile on his face, "It's the first time I've seen people force people to participate in a banquet like this."

Crowd: "............"

Silently gave her a thumbs up.

Who doesn't know the power of the wind on the pillow of the officials and ladies, and the shopkeeper Sheng can be just and real with them like this

It's too powerful.

Not to mention what will happen later, but to say that this courage is too admirable.

In the evening, when they returned to the door of their homes, they happened to meet Shen Zhao, and the two raised their eyebrows slightly when they saw the post in each other's hands.

Sheng Qingyuan said, "It seems to be the same banquet?"

Shen Zhao said: "Liu Beichuan's wife hosted it, and it is said that many young talents in the city were invited."

"Two days later."

Shen Zhao nodded, and then asked, "Are you going to go?"

Sheng Qingyuan smiled and joked: "Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Su came to Zhuxinfang to deliver the post in person today, and they also lost their temper, and when they left, they threatened that if I don't go, she will make my small shop unable to open."

Shen Zhao's eyes quickly flashed a touch of displeasure, and said to her: "Now there is less than a month left before the scientific expedition, all the arrangements have been arranged, and when the scientific expedition is over, you can close the net, and when that time comes, no one will dare to bully you."

After a pause, Shen Zhao added: "However, it doesn't matter now, if anyone dares to give you anger, you just let Xuanyu call back, I am here."

"Okay." Sheng Qingyuan smiled comfortably.

On the day of the flower-viewing banquet, all the invitees had already arrived, but they didn't see Sheng Qingyuan and Shen Zhao.

Liu Beichuan found Mrs. Liu and asked her, "Didn't you say that Sheng Qingyuan and Shen Zhao would come? But what about them now?"

Mrs. Liu listened to Liu Beichuan's question, and her face was unhappy: "What do you ask me to do? Anyway, I've already sent the post, can I still go and escort them myself?"

What if Liu Beichuan is a martial champion?

is not a wild boy born in the countryside, he is lucky to be able to come to the capital to be an official, if it weren't for her, where would he have the opportunity to be promoted quickly, and where would he have the opportunity to contact Zuo Ye? .

Liu Beichuan knew the temper of this eldest lady, and he knew that he still had to rely on their family, so he could only temporarily suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart.

"I'm going to ask somebody, you...... Don't be too tired." In the end, Liu Beichuan reluctantly squeezed out a word of concern from between his teeth.

"Got it, you're going to be busy." Mrs. Liu waved her hand impatiently.

As soon as Liu Beichuan left, Mrs. Su came, "Yo, you invited the person, why, didn't come?" Eh, this Mrs. Shen is really, how can she be so faceless?"

Mrs. Liu looked at her coldly: "If you can't speak, just shut up!" Don't forget, this banquet is held in your Su Mansion, if she doesn't come, do you think your face looks good?"

Mrs. Su's face also turned cold: "This banquet, but what you want to do, what do you want to do to Sheng Qingyuan at this banquet, that's what you mean, if it weren't for our cooperation, don't think that your calculation today can be successful."
