After the Republic of China

The reputation of the Shao family is not low in Yangzhou, and even here in Shanghai.

But in the end, Mr. Shao is a clean slate, and in these troubled times, he is no match for a gun.

When Ximei brought up Mr. Shao, she also admired the mentality of a scholar.

Shao Yunshi didn't know Ximei's little thoughts, so she just laughed and said: "You also know that it was in Yangzhou. Besides, the friends who are friends with the Wang family are celebrities in the political circles, and they are also socialites in Shanghai."

When the young lady said this, Ximei could only sigh and accept it.Those squeamish young ladies and gentlemen in Shanghai made her cringe when she saw them.

The next day is the day for the appointment.

After finalizing the matter of returning to Suzhou, Shao Yunshi thought about the banquet scenes Wang Ping described to her in the past, and still felt that she should take care of herself even for the sake of her friends' face.

So, on this day, Shao Yunshi took Ximei and Xiaodong to dress up.

Xiaodong was chosen to accompany Shao Yunshi to the Wang family for a banquet.

Ximei was afraid that Xiaodong would not dress up as usual, so she just pulled her along and picked out some new clothes and jewelry.

After struggling like this for a long time, Shao Yunshi's little patience was worn away, and she secretly decided not to accept anyone's invitation casually in the future. It was too torturous.

Before she could finish her emotion, Ninth Sister arrived.

Ninth Sister came here at dusk, not to guard against anyone, but to avoid the eyes of certain people.

The bright-minded people didn't say anything, they just greeted Ninth Sister warmly.

"My cousin, this dress matches well. It's more beautiful than the most fashionable foreign skirts out there." Sister Ninth praised her as she looked at the goose-yellow ankle-length skirt on the hanger.

Shao Yunshi glanced at the skirt and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the banquet, this skirt would be too hot."

This long dress was sent by the Lu family. It has a wide waistband and long sleeves. It is indeed a bit hot to wear in summer.

Sister Ninth nodded. It was indeed hot, but it was appropriate to wear for a banquet.Afraid that she would say too much and call Miss Cousin out of ideas, Sister Ninth did not answer the question.

Shao Yunshi's skirt is actually not as hot as she said. The fabric is very breathable, and the whole skirt is radiant, low-key and luxurious.

Wear it to a banquet, not to mention it will look more attractive.

Therefore, when she said it was hot, Ximei was not happy, "Miss, please stop choosing. In the first few outfits, you didn't say the colors were tender, but you said they revealed a lot. Finally, these clothes fit everywhere." , you are too hot."

Xiaodong also accepted the senior sister's pickiness, "Senior sister, these clothes are not hot, they are much cooler than the one I am wearing."

Xiaodong was wearing a suit, made of bright green material, also a gift from the Lu family, so of course it was excellent.

Ninth Sister also had access to the Lu family's clothing materials, especially Xiaodong's materials, which were suitable for summer clothing.

"According to Xiaodong, although this skirt is a bit long, it is indeed not hot." After saying that, Sister Ninth pushed the box in her hand, "Look, what did I bring you?"

Shao Yunshi originally planned to wear this skirt, but she felt disgusted with it, but it was just because she was tired from wearing such a formal dress in summer.

Ninth Sister was familiar with everyone. She pushed the box and Xiaodong opened it immediately and politely.

"Ah!" As soon as the box was opened, it immediately dazzled everyone.

Sister Ninth saw that her cousin, who had always been cold and cold, had a somewhat moved expression on her face, and felt proud. She said that as long as Madam took out this, she would definitely be able to calm her down. "Ninth sister, my cousin asked you to send this?" Shao Yunshi actually doesn't care about these things. She has seen many good things and owns them. She just laments her cousin's generosity.

Ninth Sister was still proud of herself, "Well, madam said that my cousin is used to being simple and has never officially attended a new-style banquet. She was afraid that her cousin would not be careful, so she dug out this set of pink diamond jewelry and asked her to have it tomorrow. Put it on."

Shao Yunshi also has diamond jewelry, but she doesn't really like such dazzling things. She usually only wears a milky white jade hairpin at home.

Ximei was in charge of the lady's jewelry and knew all about it. She picked up a hairpin and praised: "The craftsmanship is not bad, the diamond is big, the color is right, and it matches the lady's outfit very well."

Xiaodong also had some eyesight, so he didn't dare to grab it. He just leaned over and took a closer look, "The design is also novel, and it is compact but full of grandeur. It is just right for senior sister to bring."

Shao Yunshi couldn't help but laugh when she saw the two people commenting seriously, "Didn't we already match the jewelry?"

"The color we chose is not as good as this one. Miss, let's use this one. It is also Madam's wish."

Xiaodong didn't care and didn't follow the advice.

Shao Yunshi closed the box and pushed it to Sister Ninth, "This set of jewelry was given to my cousin by my cousin. Sister Ninth, please take it back quickly. Also, thank my cousin for me and tell her that I will match the jewelry myself." alright."

Sister Ninth smiled and did not answer, "I knew my cousin was going to say that. Madam said that although this set of jewelry was given to me by the master, it has no special meaning. It is just suitable for my cousin to use. There is no need to keep it." Blind for nothing.”

"How can you say it's all in vain? Such beautiful jewelry will look like color when you take it out." Ximei muttered.

The corner of Shao Yunshi's mouth twitched when she heard her words. No matter how good something is, it all depends on who is wearing it. Some things flatter others, while others may overwhelm them.

This set of light pink jewelry is used by my cousin, and it does look a bit tender. It’s a great gift.

Shao Yunshi hasn't taken this thing into consideration yet. She doesn't take it seriously if it is countless times more luxurious. How can she feel guilty about the value of this pink diamond.

Knowing that her cousin was sincere and that the item matched the clothes, Shao Yunshi smiled and said, "Okay, let's use it."

She accepted it so happily and promised to use it at the banquet, which made Sister Ninth smile widely.

Sister Ninth came not only to deliver things, but also to give Shao Yunshi some things to pay attention to and taboos at the banquet.

Not to mention, there are really a lot of taboo things at this small family banquet in Shanghai.From what to give to a banquet, to what to avoid wearing at home, and so on.

Sister Ninth often accompanied Wan Meiyan to various banquets, and she knew them in detail. She even explained how the servants should behave.

She was so attentive, which greatly benefited Shao Yunshi's master and servant.

Of course, Ninth Sister's behavior shows that Wan Meiyan attaches great importance to this banquet.

Shao Yunshi knew that the Wang family did have decisive capabilities in Shanghai.

But despite this, Shao Yunshi did not feel frightened because of this. Her relationship with the Wang family was just following her true heart.

As for what her cousin meant, she understood and didn't think much of it. After all, connections were really important in Shanghai.

Seeing Sister Ninth returning with a satisfied smile, Shao Yunshi said to her sister Xiaodong with a wry smile: "It seems that I have to take this matter seriously."

"No, Mrs. Biao is so enthusiastic. If we don't take her seriously, wouldn't it be a chill for her?" Xiaodong said helplessly.

Ximei nodded happily, "That's right, miss, let's do our hair first and see what hairstyle goes well with these jewelry."
