In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the hairpin feast, and if there was no accident on this day, it was also the day of His Majesty's will.

The Shen family's carriage shook for about half an hour before arriving at the Red Mansion.

At this time, it was dusk, the door of the Red House was open, and I saw the long inner alley inside.

There are a lot of people attending the banquet today, and the carriage comes and goes, and the excitement has not stopped. There were a lot of maids standing at the door, all of whom came to lead the way.

Ye Lingwu gathered the cloak on her body for the old lady Shen who had just gotten off the carriage, and whispered: "The old lady shouldn't have come to this troubled water, now that the Hou Ye is unconscious, we should stay in the mansion honestly." ”

"Looking ahead and looking backward is not the style of the Ningbei Hou Mansion." Mrs. Shen took the stove handed over by Mama Xuan, and straightened her back slightly, "Let's watch a good show tonight." ”

The red house walked through the long inner alley, the little maid led everyone along the corridor to a magnificent design of the red building, although the building body is less than 20 meters, but the appearance looks extremely wide, every brick and tile are red as the main color, and the plaque hanging high is written with four big characters - the national color and heavenly fragrance.

Ye Lingwu was secretly surprised, no wonder this opera garden is called the Red Mansion, it turns out that the mystery is here. But who is the one who is going to be the East tonight?

The gate of the Red Mansion was covered with a thick velvet blanket, and there were more than ten female envoys with beautiful appearances standing on each side.

As soon as the group led by Mrs. Shen stepped in, they heard bursts of laughter inside.

The interior of this red mansion is very spacious, even comparable to the Fengyu Hall specially set up by His Majesty for banquets and entertainment, with a passage of about five meters in the middle, and many seats on both sides are set up in an orderly manner.

There were already a lot of people sitting at the table at the moment, and each of them looked bright.

Ye Lingwu glanced around, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the famous nobles were worthy of being famous nobles, and the degree of gorgeous clothes made her feel like she was back in the scene of the first time she entered the palace for a banquet.

There was no noise in the room, and men and women were standing or sitting, and most of the women were women, and occasionally one or two little girls, all of whom wore veils.

"Old Lady Shen of the Hou Mansion of Ningbei is here." I don't know who said it, and everyone's eyes looked over.

There was silence in the Red Mansion for an instant, and no one on the table got up to greet him, even those who stood turned a blind eye, as if they had made an appointment.

Old Mrs. Shen didn't care, and continued to walk inside, and saw a couple walking slowly, smiling at Old Lady Shen, raising her arms and arching her hands: "The old lady is here, the junior is surnamed Fang, named Fang Xu, this is a cheap one." ”

Old Lady Shen's expression froze, and she said with a smile: "I know, the mother family of the lady Fang of the Rongzheng Earl's Mansion, speaking of which, we are still in-laws who have never met." ”

"Yes, you have been in Yusu City for many days, and the younger generation has not visited, and I hope that the old lady will forgive your sins." Fang Xu turned sideways, raised a hand and said, "The old lady also asks to sit down with the juniors, tonight there is no master at this table, but you can't be lazy." ”

Mrs. Shen didn't move, and said: "Since it's a feast, how can there be no main family, who will sit in the top position if there is no main family?" ”

Fang Xu smiled meaninglessly: "Anyone can sit, it just depends on who dares." “

Old Mrs. Shen didn't answer, her eyes looked around, and when she saw that everyone's eyes fell, she was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "The old man is impartial, the court is a first-class lady, and the first emperor personally gave the title of Guoan, but my wife dares to sit in this position." “

As she spoke, Old Lady Shen walked straight towards the top, each step was slow and heavy, and everyone's eyes became complicated, and their expressions gradually became solemn.

If it is said that there is a deep pool in this red mansion, Mrs. Shen is a boulder smashed into the deep pool, and if she is determined, she will not cause ripples, but if she is not strong-minded, she must not be calm at this moment.

Not long after, there was another movement at the door, Ye Lingwu stood at the top and looked from afar, but saw Xuan Zhizhou and Master Li leading several adults who were also serving in the Zhizhou Mansion to appear.

As soon as Master Li came in, he stammered with a shy face.

"Treacherous villain." Ye Lingwu said in a low voice.

Old Mrs. Shen put down the tea bowl in her hand and said without raising her head: "There are some things that can't be said, you have to bury them in your heart." “

Ye Lingwu frowned unhappily and said, "Yes, old lady." ”

Lord Li complimented around the seat below, but Xuan Zhizhou led a few adults to the top.

"Old lady Shen, I have admired the name for a long time, and I am in Xia Xuanxu, and the current governor of the Zhizhou Mansion." Xuan Zhizhou raised his arms upright.

Old Lady Shen raised her head when she heard this, looked him up and down, and said, "Yu Sucheng has dealt with so many things, Xuan Zhizhou still has the leisure to come to the banquet, presumably the case has progressed." It's okay, when the feast is over, my wife and son will have a good chat with Xuanzhizhou. ”

"......" Xuanzhi Prefecture.

As soon as Mrs. Shen's words fell, she heard movement from below again.

"Ouch, the scholars of Jiang University are here!"

"Scholar Jiang actually came, I heard that you were injured, I didn't expect it to be so soon."

Ye Lingwu followed the sound and saw Jiang Yuan wearing a snow-blue cloak and a pile of crane velvet on his shoulders, unhurriedly greeting those famous lords who came to greet him.

Thinking that Old Lady Shen appeared just now, these famous lords didn't react much, but Jiang Yuan's appearance was very positive.

After greeting the group of famous family lords, Jiang Yuan came up.

Jiang Yuan always had a smile on his face, whether it was to those famous lords or the current old lady Shen, his attitude was always the same.

He said: "Please Mrs. Shen An, Mrs. Shen looks in good spirits today." ”

Old Mrs. Shen said: "Scholar Jiang looks good today, and the injuries on his body are all healed?" ”

"That's it." After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Ye Lingwu on the side, "Miss Lingwu looks a little bad, haven't you slept well in the past few days?" ”

Ye Lingwu was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "Thank you Scholar Jiang for your concern, it's not that you don't sleep well, it's just that there are a lot of things in the house these days." “

Jiang Yuan smiled crookedly: "I heard that the big and small things in the Shen family's rented house are taken care of by Miss Lingwu, but I didn't expect that Miss Lingwu has the ability to take care of things at a young age." ”

Old Lady Shen's gaze turned between the two of them, and said with a smile: "Scholar Jiang is so busy on weekdays, and he has been recuperating in the mansion recently, so he can still hear about this girl." ”

Ye Lingwu frowned uncomfortably, and hurriedly answered: "Old lady, there are so many people watching below, it's inconvenient to talk more, you better let Scholar Jiang sit down quickly." ”

Old Lady Shen smiled but did not speak, raised her hand to signal, Jiang Yuan understood and raised her arm to give a farewell salute before turning around and sitting down.
