512. "Fame"
Cheng Xi and Shen Xingqi's senses were different from ordinary people, and they immediately discovered that uncomfortable gaze.
The former's expression did not change much after seeing Xie Zhi, but because the gaze was very vague and not too aggressive, it made her a little more vigilant in her heart, no matter what plane or era, people with outgoing emotions are never the most dangerous, and those with deep thoughts are even more fearful.
Shen Xingqi didn't know anything about others coveting his brother, and his little face wrinkled slightly, and he was somewhat disliked.
"What's wrong with that Miss Xie, have we offended her?"
“.” How to tell my sister-in-law that her existence is a kind of offense in itself?
Cheng Xi couldn't say anything, and Song Yan next to him sneered.
"Xiao Xingqi, you must know that there is such a person in this world who always thinks differently from ordinary people, and it is not your fault that you can't guess what she thinks."
"Huh?"
What do you mean?
Shen Xingqi has never been enlightened about the relationship between men and women, but she feels that Xie Zhi is a little inexplicable, but she can see one thing, Song Yan and Qu Shaoya are very dislike Xie Zhi.
Could it be that she and her sister-in-law were implicated? That's all that remains.
Qi Ge'er's full moon banquet soon began, and the little cub who was dressed as a blessing doll was put into a soft ground circled by Mrs. Song, with all kinds of delicate objects inside, and the guests gathered around to watch the excitement.
Cheng Xi looked around and matched the faces with the profiles on the information one by one, and there were several male guests in addition to the female relatives today, most of whom were Song Tong's good colleagues and friends.
"Brother Qi'er can take whatever he likes, go quickly."
The little protagonist seemed to understand Mrs. Song's words, got up on all fours with his big clear eyes, and quickly grabbed a quaint inkstone under the expectant gaze of everyone, and ushered in a burst of cheers.
"Hey, our little boy Song will definitely be brilliant in the future!"
"Yes, yes, Lord Song and Mrs. Song are still well taught."
There was an endless stream of congratulations around, and Song Tongju was very happy to hold his son with one hand, and quickly handed over the weight in his hand to Mrs. Song, and turned to entertain the guests.
At the beginning of the banquet, Song Yan and Cheng Xi sat together, and the video was frequently projected on this side.
This full moon banquet made the female dependents of Shen Zhuangyuan's family successfully enter the eyes of the public, and many female dependents below the fifth rank official in the capital knew that Mrs. Shen was not as vulgar as rumored by the outside world, but had an outstanding temperament and good looks, and Cheng Xi was also a small fire.
In addition, there are also a group of people who have set their eyes on Shen Xingqi, the little girl who is about to be married is already attractive at the age of a flower, and every move is gentle and gentle, and now many people know that the Shen family has an unmarried girl with good virtue and virtue.
So when Cheng Xi took Shen Xingqi to participate in the second plum banquet, he once again received countless shocked or amazed eyes.
Two people: "."
So the gossip in the entire capital is already so barren?
"Sister-in-law." It's terrible~(╥╯^╰╥)~
"It's okay, when they're cabbage."
"Okay."
Shen Xingqi's originally somewhat uncomfortable heart was affected by Cheng Xi's calm psychology, and she straightened up her small chest and immediately became a down-and-out lady, and her slightly stable temperament once again ushered in a small wave of praise.
The little girl was satisfied, and she didn't know that Cheng Xi was in distress at this time, and Shen Xingqi would be in trouble at the end of the year, because Shen Xingluo didn't want to marry his sister out so soon, so he didn't think about making a big deal, and then the family would get together and invite a few friends to get together.
However, in the current situation, this idea is definitely not working.
Although Shen Xingluo is a small six-rank Hanlin, he can be regarded as in the eyes of the powerful in the capital, if his sister and Lu Li only invite Qu Shaoya and a few other juniors to participate, it will inevitably arouse the criticism of the female family, especially in front of him.
So. The Shen family is afraid that they will also send an invitation.
***
"Do all these people need to be posted?"
In the study, Cheng Xi looked at the catalog in front of him and asked.
It was a list of names and official positions, most of which were from the Shen family's recent invitations, after all, they didn't come to be rude, and they had the obligation to inform them if they had happy events.
It's just that who comes is another matter.
"Yes."
Shen Xingluo seemed to see the black line on Cheng Xi's forehead that represented "boredom", "Su Zhan can do these things, don't be too tired." ”
"That's not exhausting."
She really didn't pay attention to this matter, no matter how salty Cheng Xi was, she knew that this was a social necessity.
"Don't you think there's something wrong with our family?"
"What?"
"The next person~"
Cheng Xi was speechless, "The small courtyard is two-in, if you only send invitations to these people, you can put it down, but only a few of us are not busy enough." ”
But they don't want to add people, this is the unanimous idea of the Shen family.
Shen Xingluo pondered for a moment and said, "There are a lot of people in Zhuangzi, you can let them come over for a few days." ”
"Great idea!"
It's completely usable for your own people, and when you run out, you can leave, and there is nothing better than this.
Cheng Xi patted his head, "How did I forget my own Zhuangzi." ”
The two of them discussed with Lu Li, in fact, holding a banquet only requires the host's family to make up his mind, and the rest of the things are done by the housekeeper, Su Zhan is undoubtedly the busiest one, as for things like writing invitations, Shen Xingluo, the male host, is naturally the host.
Of course, he was in charge of the male guests.
As for the female dependents, Cheng Xi directly wrapped the round.
So a few days after Laba, the mansions that had dealings with the Shen family received invitations from Miss Shen and Lu Li one after another.
Cheng Xi carried two jars of fruit wine and a few boxes of pastries to the gate of Du's Mansion to meet the Lin family, explaining that he wanted to invite her to be the praiser, and the other party readily agreed, and explained the procedures for the banquet of the female relatives in Beijing, which benefited her a lot.
When Cheng Xi returned to the Shen family's courtyard, his mind was full of guest arrangements and banquet procedures.
"I didn't expect a ritual to be so complicated, but today I was really taught."
For example, this kind of ancient etiquette has basically been lost in modern times, and even the simplified ones that have not been lost have been simplified.
In her time, 90% of the happy events could be done with a phone call to the hotel and then find a master of ceremonies, and the main family was entangled with nothing more than what grade of venue to go to.
Shen Xingluo: "Just leave it to Su Zhan, he knows better than you in this regard." ”
Cheng Xi: "."
I suspect you're looking down on me and have proof.
"Forget it, you can't leave everything to Su Zhan, and salted fish can't be like this."
Isn't it just a ceremony, this thing can't be done without her!
Even if you fight for breath, you have to do it.
Fist! (End of chapter)
