Chapter 240
"What did Mrs. Shen say? The time is right now."

The girl next to Mrs. Du was playful and clever, and she directly introduced Taohua Pavilion all over the short distance, and what kind of scenery can be seen from which angle.

The servant girl stopped explaining with a smile until she saw her master's figure.

Cheng Xi sighed secretly, as expected of a girl from a rich family, she advances and retreats well, and behaves well.

"Sister Xi'er, come here!"

Du Zhang stood up with a smile, took Cheng Xi's hand and looked at her side, "This is Xingqi?"

"Xingqi has seen Madam."

"What a gentle and quiet little girl. I haven't seen her for a few years, and her temper has become more and more calm."

Zhang Yaru has been married to Du's family for more than ten years. Her husband is also the master of Huaiyuan Academy, and she and Shen's family naturally knew each other, but after Shen's mother passed away, they gradually cut off contact.

Shen Xingqi's face turned pink after being praised, and she lowered her head slightly in embarrassment.

She was originally mild-tempered, although Cheng Xi led her away a bit, but as long as she didn't act violently, she was still a bluff, and she was still a well-educated girl in the eyes of everyone.

The more Zhang Yaru watched it, the more she liked it, and she secretly regretted that her son's young girl couldn't afford to wait.

Many people in the Peach Blossom Pavilion were attracted by them. The flower viewing banquet was invited by several wives, and Mrs. Du Er was one of them. The guests she got up to greet were very curious.

"Which wife and lady did my brother and sister invite? It's not okay to occupy yourself and prevent us from getting to know each other."

It was the woman sitting at the top who spoke, and the rest of them echoed one after another, respecting her faintly.

When Cheng Xi heard the address just now, he guessed that this was the married daughter of the Du family, that is, Xie Du, the new magistrate.

Zhang Yaru smiled and introduced them one by one.

After a circle, Cheng Xi took some brains to remember all the female relatives in the house.

This flower viewing banquet was really extraordinary. Shen Xingluo received an invitation from Mr. Xie, the magistrate, so it is normal for Mrs. Xie to appear at the female family's side.

Sitting in the front were the family members of civil officials such as Zhizhou, Tongpan, and Chief Secretary of Lin'an Prefecture. Among them were the wives and ladies of several generals. Most of the people sitting in the courtyard outside were wealthy businessmen and women from aristocratic families in Lin'an Prefecture.

It was simply a large networking themed party.

After everyone learned that Cheng Xi had the title of Mrs. Xie Yuan, they looked at her with interest, and all eyes turned to the two of them for a while.

Shen Xingqi pinched the handkerchief subconsciously, and Cheng Xi calmly took her hand to comfort her.

"Don't be nervous, they're just curious."

Mrs. Xie said a few words to her, firstly, for Master Du's face, and secondly, on behalf of the magistrate to encourage the student's family. After all, it is his political achievement that Shen Xingluo and others walked out of Lin'an Mansion.

As for other officials' wives and ladies, the eyes are very meaningful.

The two chose an outer seat and sat down. Shen Xingqi was not in the mood to look at the scenery anymore, and asked in a low voice:
"Is it because the scar on brother's face has healed that they are curious?"

"Yes, my husband is very topical."

Of course, not only because of this.

Cheng Xi took everyone's eyes into his eyes, appreciating, contemptuous, and disdainful. However, they must all have the same question—why did the promising Shen Xingluo marry the daughter of an escort?

What's the use of that?

"I heard that brother Shen got married a few months ago, congratulations!"

Listening to the man in the brocade suit in the water building talking with a smile, but there was not much smile in his eyes, "Brother Shen was steadfast to his fiancée before, so Mrs. Shen must be a gentle and virtuous beauty now?"

"puff--"

Beside the man were several people who were also dressed in Chinese costumes, who laughed maliciously when they heard the words.

"How did I hear that Mrs. Shen is the daughter of an escort, and she wields knives and guns on weekdays?"

"Yes, yes, how can a reckless man know how to be gentle and virtuous after being illiterate? Brother Zhao, you are afraid that you have been deceived."

Zhao An was not only not angry when he heard the accusations from others, but looked at Shen Xingluo in surprise, "Brother Shen, what they said is true?! Oh, that's true"

"It's not a gentleman's job to talk about others behind their backs. I haven't seen a few of you become so fond of talking freely in a few days. I think the masters are very pleased."

Shen Xingluo, who was wearing Tsing Yi, said calmly, "Besides, we are not familiar."

"Shen Xingluo!"

Zhao An got up, his eyes were dark, and he snorted for a while, "That's right, Brother Shen is the Jie Yuan of our Lin'an Mansion, why do you think us former classmates?"

"Just say it when you're jealous. As long as you don't say something so yin and yang, I will respect you."

"You!"

"Hey, hey, Zhao An, what are you doing, looking for trouble again?"

Qin Zheng got out from some corner and stood in front of Shen Xingluo, "Why, want to fight!"

"Qin Zheng, don't think I'm afraid of you because you have the Qin family behind you!"

"Then it looks like I'm afraid~"

"you"

Zhao An looked at Qin Zheng and then glanced at Shen Xingluo, "No wonder Brother Shen doesn't like our Zhao family, so he has such a big appetite."

"I advise you to speak up, but your arrogant sister is still married to Xingluo? My little sister-in-law is so much better than her!"

Qin Zheng was amazed, Brother Shen's wife is good at martial arts, good at cooking and delicious, such an excellent person can't be found in the entire Lin'an Mansion, why should Shen Xingluo not marry such a person with the Zhao family?

"I advise you not to make trouble, Mr. Xie is watching not far away."

Zhao An and the others immediately restrained themselves a little.

"Xing Luo, Elder Jiang and Master Xie are looking for you, come with me!"

Shen Xingluo nodded, got up and went to the creek with him.

"This Zhao An really has such a good name for nothing, he is not at all restless!"

Qin Zheng felt aggrieved on behalf of his friend, "They didn't even give you a gift when you were injured years ago, and your face is as shameless as a city wall."

"What to do with him."

Shen Xingluo flicked his hem lightly, and stepped on the stone steps with his right foot, "Zhao An didn't do well in the autumn last year, and he would fail in the additional test in autumn, so there is nothing to fear."

"It's true. Although I, Dayan, did not prevent the merchant's son from getting a job, the Zhao family has come to an end."

If you can't get fame and fame, and you can't make money but can't make the Qin family, it's over.

The more Qin Zheng thought about it, the more he felt more comfortable, and secretly labeled Zhao An a clown.

"Oh, by the way, the female family members of the Zhao family are here today, do you think you will embarrass my sister-in-law?"

In fact, the female family members of the Zhao family did not embarrass Cheng Xi, but entangled Mrs. Qin.

Cheng Xi sitting in the Peach Blossom Pavilion became the most leisurely one instead, Shen Xingqi was more popular than her, and there was an endless stream of wives who came and talked with her.

After the last lady who said hello went to enjoy the flowers, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief.

"So tired~"

"You coped well."

Shen Xingqi stuck out her tongue embarrassingly, "Why are they so interested in me? Sister-in-law is the mistress?"
