Shen Siyi glanced back at the guards of the Qi Mansion, who had come over not to protect her, but to supervise her.

It doesn't make a difference whether she follows or not, and even without them, it's convenient for her to do it.

Therefore, she did not object, and casually ordered: "Then you will wait below." ”

When she got on the boat, her vision widened, and Shen Siyi stood on the deck and looked at the shore, only to find that in addition to her carriage, there were five or six other carriages parked.

The maid was a little surprised: "Hey, miss, it seems that you are not the only one who came to the appointment today?" ”

Shen Siyi rolled his eyes, could it be that Tongping Hou also made an appointment with someone else at the same time?

She followed the guard's lead and walked towards the carriage of the feast.

When they arrived, sure enough, there were five beautiful people sitting behind each small table.

They were originally talking in a low voice, and when they saw Shen Siyi appear, their eyes invariably showed surprise, and then quickly covered it up.

The guard led Shen Siyi to her own seat.

"Miss Qi will sit here and wait first, and Master Hou will come in a while." With that, he left.

There was another maid in the cabin who came up to add tea, but Shen Siyi felt that the tea had a strange taste.

She only drank spiritual spring water, and keenly felt that something was strange, so she just picked up the teacup and put it down again.

Rather not drink.

She looked at the other five ladies, and they sat in a circle with Shen Siyi herself.

Most importantly, they all have a spare futon and table around them.

According to this posture, it will be explained that after a while, new people will come, and one person will sit down next to each person, just to make up a few pairs.

Shen Siyi frowned, a little suspicious.

On the post invited by Tongping Hou, it didn't say that many people were coming.

Just as she was thinking about what was going on, a round-faced girl next to her cautiously spoke: "Are you the young lady of Qi Mansion?" Why do you look a little nasty? ”

There was a circle among the magnates in the capital, and when the ladies of each family held banquets, the ladies took turns to meet each other and knew each other well.

The Qi Mansion is not a high-ranking nobleman, but relying on Mrs. Qi's strategy, it can be regarded as squeezing into the circle of the powerful.

So they had seen Qi Jingchun and knew that she was not so good-looking.

Shen Siyi smiled, and didn't intend to hide it: "I am the adopted daughter of Qi Mansion, and my surname is Shen." ”

Several ladies suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Miss Shen." ”

They also heard that the eldest lady of Qi Mansion brought back an orphan girl, who was beautiful and charming, and there were rumors before that I was afraid that it was going to be given to a high-ranking and powerful adult to be a beautiful concubine!

Unexpectedly, she appeared in the mansion of Tongping Hou today, and she was born so beautiful, she must be a fierce rival.

Shen Siyi could feel that the eyes of these girls looking at her had become a little indifferent and unfriendly.

Apparently he saw her as a competitor.

Most of these ladies are from small families of five or six grades, and their ideas are in line with Mrs. Qi, and it is better to marry into the Hou Mansion and become Mrs. Hou than to marry a family of the same level.

Shen Siyi just didn't expect that this Tongping Marquis would be so bad, bringing all the girls together, just like the emperor choosing a concubine.

Suddenly, on the deck outside the cabin, there was a sound of men laughing and talking.

The ladies around Shen Siyi suddenly sat upright, and their young and full faces were floating with immature shyness.

After a while, Tongping Hou appeared at the door of the cabin with a group of people.

Tongping Hou is over forty years old, and he always looks like a smiling tiger, and the fine lines squinting at the corners of his eyes have deepened his cunning temperament.

And Shen Siyi saw that he was followed by five brightly dressed men, all of whom ranged in age from twenty to forty, and judging by their clothes and jade pendants, they should all be important members of the imperial court.

One person is even more familiar, it is the man in black who trespassed into her boudoir!

How can I meet him here?

The other party's indifferent gaze swept over Shen Siyi's face, but as if he didn't know her, he quickly withdrew his gaze.

Seeing that the Marquis of Tongping came with some officials from the court, the ladies hurriedly stood up to say goodbye, Shen Siyi did not move at all, sat in place, and looked at it coldly.

Tong Pinghou smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone sit down." ”

His seemingly smiling gaze swept over Shen Siyi's face like a poisonous snake, and the depth of his eyes crossed with amazement, and his obsession with beauty was fleeting.

"You are the adopted daughter Shen who came to replace Miss Qi as mentioned in the letter from Qi Mansion?" Tongping Hou took his hand and asked Shen Siyi: "When everyone saw Ben Hou, they all got up and said goodbye, only you sat still, didn't Qi Mansion teach you the rules?" ”

Shen Siyi raised her eyes, her eyes flowed, there seemed to be a trace of disdain and arrogance, she had not deliberately dressed up today, the rouge on her face was only rubbed with a thin layer, and the dress was even more plain light blue.

The long soft black hair is fixed with only a hosta, and a few strands of hair hang gently down to her ears, adding a bit of unconsciously charming to her.

However, all this reflects her cold and beautiful appearance, like an ice flower in autumn.

In the face of Tong Pinghou's questioning, Shen Siyi was more calm, and his jade face was cold.

"When Hou Ye invited, I thought I was the only one, but I didn't expect that there were so many people, I knew that I couldn't meet Hou Ye alone, so I didn't come."

As soon as these words came out, Tong Pinghou raised his eyebrows in surprise, and the officials behind him laughed even more, ridiculing meaningfully-

"Master Hou, it seems that Miss Shen is here specifically for you!"

"It's no wonder that the girl is angry, seeing that Hou Ye invited so many people at the same time, of course it doesn't feel good in my heart!"

"Beauty is angry, but it's because of sincerity."

In the midst of the coaxing, Tong Pinghou became pleasant.

Shen Siyi looked at it coldly, the faces of those men talking and laughing were really annoying.

It's just that the man in black she had seen didn't smile at all, and he was cold like an outsider.

"What Miss Shen said is very true, it is Ben Hou who has not thought it through, and I invite everyone to come today, I also think that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone!"

As he spoke, he took the initiative to walk towards Shen Siyi: "Ben Hou is sitting next to Miss Shen, so let's make amends!" ”

The ladies present smiled slightly, and looked at Shen Siyi with a little anger in their eyes.

This Shen girl used a little trick to snatch Tongping Hou?

Tongping Hou really sat on the futon beside Shen Siyi, and the officials he brought with him chose other ladies one by one to sit down.

The black-clothed man who Shen Siyi had seen had a cold face and sat next to the round-faced girl next to Shen Siyi, who was flattered.

Shen Siyi heard her shout: "Lord Xie......"

Immediately afterwards, as the silk and bamboo music began, the maidservants rushed in with delicacies and wine.

Only then did Shen Siyi see that Tongping Hou had gathered so many innocent ladies together, and he was actually helping him accompany him to drink and accompany guests!

It's like exchanging value for women as if they were objects.

Just when Shen Siyi was unhappy, her hand on the table was grasped by Tong Pinghou.

"Your surname is Shen, what's your name?" Tong Pinghou rubbed his delicate skin, and his face could not hide the ripples of spring.
