Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 40 Cheng Fei (Ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets~)

Ningbeihou's mansion was completely cleaned up, Mrs. Shen was going to host a banquet, and Princess Jiayi personally drew up invitations. Who would dare not give face to the nobles in the capital? Before the time came, the mansion was already full of people.

According to the past, when the younger members of the Shen family met their own banquets, they would be free and carefree, only focusing on serving and eating food.

It's different now, Shen Pan'er and Shen Yue'er are both old, and Shen Ci is about to be eighteen, according to what Princess Jiayi and Mrs. Zhao said, it's time to take care of something.

Outside the main entrance, Shen Pan'er and Shen Yue'er are still adhering to Zhao's meaning today, light blue brocade spring shirts, paired with snow-colored wide-sleeved outer robes, and a Su Yubu rocker on each of their heads. dignified atmosphere.

Compared with Ye Lingwu and Jiang Lanshu who are so elegantly dressed, at first glance one would think that Ye Lingwu and Jiang Lanshu are their envoys.

Shen Ci came late, leaning lazily on the door frame and doing nothing.Today, he is still wearing a red robe with white crane embroidered patterns, and a black rust-gold belt. His figure is tall and straight, and he seems to be taller than before.

After a long time, Shen Pan'er's face was almost stiff with laughter, but when she looked back, she saw that Shen Yue'er still had a gentle and lovely ladylike posture, she couldn't help snorting, tugged at Ye Lingwu's sleeve and said, "I'm going to be bored!" Dead, it’s just that none of the guests here know each other, and this girl has to keep a smile on her face.”

Ye Lingwu whispered: "Be patient, second aunt should say you when you go in now."

Shen Pan'er pouted, and when she was about to speak, she saw a rough-looking middle-aged man in a black robe and a purple crown coming.

"See you, Uncle Cheng!" Shen Yue'er greeted him before waiting for a few people to respond.

"Uncle Cheng, you are here!"

Seeing that Shen Pan'er was so excited, Ye Lingwu followed her eyes, but saw the middle-aged man who was discussing important matters with Shen Zhan on the corridor that night, walking with his hands behind his back.

Cheng Fei laughed loudly, stood in front of them domineeringly, and said, "Oh, I haven't seen you for a long time, I hope Er Yueer grows more and more aggressive!"

Shen Pan'er said: "Uncle Cheng, we haven't seen each other for almost four years, when did you return to the capital, why didn't you tell us!"

"I just went back to Beijing to report on an errand, and I have to go back to Jiuqu town to guard the frontier in a few days. This just happens to coincide with the old lady hosting a banquet. Naturally, I have to come to pay my respects."

Cheng Fei said, his eyes fell on Shen Ci, he looked him up and down, and couldn't help but preach: "Why are you still as lazy as you were when you were a child, do you know that your elder brother is as lazy as you are?" When I was young, I already led the army to win the battle."

Shen Ci said impatiently: "I haven't seen you for so long, Uncle Cheng's long-winded temperament still hasn't changed."

Cheng Fei seemed accustomed to his arrogance, smiled and said: "You bastard, I think if you continue to mess around like this, no one in this capital city would dare to marry their daughter to you."

Shen Ci said: "I've heard these words countless times, can you say something else?"

"Yes, why don't you go back to Jiuqu City with me this time, I see that you are also good at horseback riding and archery, and it's not a bad idea to follow me in the frontier to make a name for yourself!" Cheng Fei raised his eyebrows, "How is it?"

Shen Ci shrugged and said in a casual tone, "I would like to, but I have to go through my mother's test first. Why don't Uncle Cheng go in and talk to my mother now?"

"Okay, I'll go in and talk to your mother!"

Cheng Fei crossed his waist and was about to enter the mansion swaggeringly, but when he passed Ye Lingwu, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at her: "You...you look familiar," he rolled his eyes, "little girl, what's your name?" name?"

Ye Lingwu's heart tightened, and she was about to reply, when Shen Ci suddenly stepped in front of Ye Lingwu, interrupting Cheng Fei's line of sight: "I said, Uncle Cheng, you are so old, why are you staring at other little girls? ?”

Cheng Fei was stunned for a moment, and seeing several people looking at him, he realized that he would not compromise, and waved his hands again and again: "No, no, I think this girl looks familiar, don't get me wrong, otherwise my family The mouth does not peel my skin."

Shen Yue'er smiled and said: "Uncle Cheng was joking, what could we have misunderstood, you should hurry up and have a few more drinks with my father later."

"Yes, yes, I will go to greet the old lady right now, and then I will talk to your mother, and then I will get your father to drink!" After speaking, Cheng Fei crossed his waist and went into the house again.

At the same time, there was a sharp laughter, and the younger generations of the Shen family heard the sound and saw the eldest lady of the Wang family walking with Uncle Wang.

"Miss Lingwu, Miss Lanshu, why are you welcoming guests today?" the eldest lady of the Wang family shouted at the top of her voice, for fear that others would not know that she was familiar with the two girls under Mrs. Shen's knees.

Wang Qibo specially bowed to Jiang Lanshu, Jiang Lanshu forced a smile back, and seemed to casually tilt her head to touch the hairpin on her head, making it clear that she didn't want to talk to the mother and son.

But this does not prevent the eldest lady of the Wang family from having a familiar temperament, she pulls the younger generation of the Shen family to start chatting.

Behind her, Uncle Wang whispered, "I heard that Miss Lingwu had a serious illness a few days ago, is she still in good health?"

Ye Lingwu greeted her generously, "I'm recovering now, please take care of the elder brother of the Wang family."

Shen Ci leaned against the door frame with his arms folded, his cold eyes swirling around the two of them.Unpleasant slander: It turns out that he is still a guy who eats from the bowl and looks at the pot.

Not long after, he heard Ye Lingwu say to the Wang family gently and gently: "Ma'am, you came early, please go in and have some tea and fruit. We have to wait for a while for the main table."

"Okay, okay," the lady of the Wang family responded, while looking at the Shen family girl and Shen Ci again, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, "Qi Uncle, you are really, how can you only talk to Miss Lingwu?" Well, hurry up and meet Second Young Master Shen, Third Miss Shen and Fourth Miss Shen."

Wang Qibo didn't know him either, so he just cupped his hands and said, "Wang Qibo, the second son of Chao Fenglang Wang's family, has met Shen Ergong, Shen San and Shen Si."

"You are the second elder brother of the Wang family?" Shen Pan'er sized Wang Qibo up and down in an unclear manner.

These days, she heard rumors from the female envoy of the mansion that Mrs. Shen was interested in the second elder brother of Fenglang Wang's family, and that she would come to propose marriage when the Wang family established a firm foothold in the capital at the end of the year.

"I've heard that my grandmother thinks highly of you. It's better to meet you than to be famous. Brother Wang's good-looking talent is really a good match for sister Lan Shu."

As Shen Pan'er said, she still didn't forget to look back at Jiang Lanshu's expression as if she had eaten shit, and her depressed mood immediately improved.

"Third Miss, what nonsense are you talking about? You haven't written your horoscope yet!" Jiang Lanshu's eyes widened, and she couldn't get angry.

Mrs. Wang's expression faltered, and she said with a dry smile: "Yes, yes, this horoscope has not been written yet. Uncle Qi is valued by the old lady because of his talent and learning. Uncle Qi was in Yuecheng before, but... ..."

"Mother, please stop talking. Let's go to the mansion to eat some tea and fruit. Don't block the door here. It will damage the dignity of the Marquis Mansion." Wang Qibo interrupted with an embarrassed face. The old mother is going to praise him at length again.

The lady of the Wang family nodded awkwardly: "Okay, let's go in."

The people from this side left, and a few familiar faces appeared on the carriage over there. Ye Lingwu looked around and saw that Princess Shunchang and Liu Feiyan, the wives and girls accompanying the banquet, came slowly, and one of them was Ye Lingwu. What is familiar cannot be more familiar.

——Zhao Li, the fourth girl of the Zhao family who bumped her into the lake before.

Like the Wang family, the Zhao family was promoted from Yuecheng years ago, and the whole family moved to the capital.

When they arrived in the capital, they began to learn to curry favor without even recognizing anyone.

That day when Ji You Lake was enjoying the scenery, Zhao Li dared to push Ye Lingwu even without knowing that she was the girl under Mrs. Shen's knees. She was used as a gunman and complacently won the favor of the princess, but she didn't know that the most unofficial people in the capital were all by her. Offended.

Princess Shunchang also had a few wives who accompanied her to the banquet. Although the younger generation of the Shen family didn't know each other, they still greeted them with smiles.

With a smile on her face, Liu Feiyan stepped forward and greeted with feigned acquaintance: "Why are the third and fourth girls out to greet guests, even the second young master is here." The two big living people standing beside him simply omitted it.

Shen Ci gave Liu Feiyan a cold look and said nothing.

Liu Feiyan's smile gradually disappeared.Thinking of his ridicule of Lou Zhaorao when he was in Rong's private school, he even put Lou Zhaorao's head in front of his face, and put his two younger brothers in the fireworks and willow alley in front of him, saying that after the incident became serious, Taifu Lou almost beat him to death The three unworthy children, until today, the wound on Lou Zhaorao's buttocks is still not healed.

It is conceivable that this person is not only difficult to get along with, but also not head-on.

At this time, only Shen Yue'er said: "Auntie said that we are getting older, let us help with more things. Haitang Zhai has prepared tea and fruit, and the princess and the ladies should hurry up and take their seats in the mansion."

After this group of people entered, the younger generation of the Shen family lost face.
