Chapter 385 Competitors
Shen Wen and Shen Xiaoyu ate in the dining room, while Han Mei brought breakfast back to the room to eat with Shen Hongxuan.Before the emperor gave him an explanation on this matter, Shen Hongxuan's body could not recover too quickly.What's more, when it's cold and freezing outside, it's freezing outside in the middle of the night, and if there is nothing wrong with it, people will be suspicious.

Although Shen Hongxuan vaguely knew what Shen Xiaoyu gave him to drink, but Shen Xiaoyu didn't say anything, and he wouldn't ask. He always felt that his daughter had a big secret, but as long as it wasn't a bad thing, why should he get to the bottom of it? ?Maybe one day when my daughter really trusts him, she will take the initiative to talk to him.

After breakfast, it seemed that it was not far from the time agreed on the invitation, so Han Mei asked someone to prepare a sedan chair and sent Shen Xiaoyu to the prime minister's residence.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is behind Qin Muyu's Sixth Prince's Mansion, not far from Shen's Mansion. The sedan chair was lifted up and walked down soon after. Shen Xiaoyu got out of the sedan chair and saw two sedan chairs parked in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion. A few other servants were waiting by the side.

Two servant girls, one in light green and one in dark green, handed the invitation to the porter in front of the door. Afterwards, the porter respectfully invited people into the mansion. A woman in red and a yellow dress came out of the sedan chair and entered with the help of the maid. Prime Minister's Mansion.The bearer and servants carried the sedan chair into the prime minister's mansion from the side alley.

This time, Shen Xiaoyu brought Qiu Gui and Qiu Fu with her. These two maids didn't behave like they came from an ordinary house, and they were sent by Qin Muyu, so they should be safe people.

Shen Xiaoyu suddenly felt very helpless. She didn't know when she trusted Qin Muyu so much, even the people he sent were at ease.

Qiugui went forward and handed the invitation to the concierge. After seeing it, the concierge invited Shen Xiaoyu to enter the mansion. Shen Xiaoyu asked the bearer to carry the sedan chair back to the mansion first, and then came to pick her up after noon.

Entering the gate of the mansion, I saw the two ladies who had just entered the mansion standing in front of the mansion and complaining. After all, they were also guests, and no one came out to greet them. It was the first time for them to have a banquet at the Prime Minister's mansion. Where should they go next? where to go?

Seeing Shen Xiaoyu coming in, the eyes of the two of them lit up, and they walked towards Shen Xiaoyu, "I don't know what to call this sister?"

Shen Xiaoyu saw that the two young ladies were about fourteen or five years old. The girl in red was a square-faced girl with an ordinary appearance and a bit of a heroic air. She seemed to be a straightforward girl.And the woman in yellow is a standard beauty, with a fair face and delicate makeup, which is much more pleasing to the eye than the big white face that women in Fancheng love.

Shen Xiaoyu said: "My surname is Shen, which family are the two elder sisters from?"

The woman in yellow said softly: "My sister's surname is Hong, my name is Linglong, and my sister's name is Yanzhi. They both came from Huzhou. It was the first time I came to Beijing. How to go, please ask my sister to take us for a ride."

Shen Xiaoyu then remembered that next year seemed to be a draft year. It was said that because several princes had reached the marriageable age, there would be a general election in this draft. Except for the young ladies in all the prefectures in Beijing, they were all ready to go. Many of those qualified for the draft were sent to Beijing one after another. It is estimated that these two Miss Hong came to Beijing for this purpose.

Shen Xiaoyu smiled and said: "What a coincidence, it's also my first time to have a banquet at the Prime Minister's Mansion."

The two Miss Hong looked at Shen Xiaoyu with a little alienation. Shen Xiaoyu thought that they probably regarded her as a competitor.

Women who can be invited by Ms. Du to the banquet are eligible to participate in the election. If it is the lady who lives in Beijing all the year round, will it be the first time to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion?

The atmosphere was a bit cold, but fortunately, Shen Xiaoyu didn't care, and looked at the scenery of Du's mansion with his hands behind his back. Anyway, there will be others coming later, even if no one else comes, Du's mansion will send people out to greet them, and they will never be left in the cold it's here.

Compared with most of the rich and ornate features of the houses in the capital, the Prime Minister's Mansion is a bit quaint. There are not too many ornate places in the architecture, but it is more than grand, and the overall appearance gives people the feeling of having a breeze in their sleeves.

Thinking of Qin Muyu's evaluation of the prime minister, Shen Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Qin Muyu once told her about the officials in Beijing, all of whom were praised and criticized, and analyzed in every way, so that Shen Xiaoyu could imagine such a person after hearing it, only when talking about this Prime Minister Du, only Four words were used: old, treacherous and slippery!

Seeing Qin Muyu gritted his teeth with hatred, Shen Xiaoyu knew that this prime minister was not on Qin Muyu's side, and might even be a hostile force. Party struggles were always life and death. Maybe he had suffered from Prime Minister Du.

Just as she was thinking, two young ladies with maidservants came in from the gate of the mansion. Shen Xiaoyu couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she saw this.

Hong Yanzhi and Hong Linglong have already greeted her, "I don't know what to call the two sisters?"

The two ladies who just came in also saw Shen Xiaoyu, their faces were already dark, but the sisters of the Hong family stepped forward to greet them, and forced a smile on their faces and said: "We are Miss Sun from Hua Taishi's residence, my name is Hua Danqin , this is my younger sister, Hua Danfeng. Which family do the two younger sisters belong to? It looks strange."

……

Seeing the four of them walking towards the back house arm in arm, Shen Xiaoyu followed leisurely. The friendship between women is so unreasonable. The two pairs of women who disliked her, even when they met, they could She is as close as a close friend for many years. I don't know if it's because she doesn't have a womanhood, or are they all the same kind of person?
But if one person dislikes you, it may be the fault of that person, if two people dislike you, it is the fault of two people, if both dislike you, then it is definitely your own fault, Shen Xiaoyu thinks that maybe she is that person Faulty people.

Although the Du Mansion was not very well-built, it was big enough after all. I followed the two Miss Hua for a long time before I walked around to the backyard. The servants I saw on the way were also in twos and threes. No one even came to say hello.

Fortunately, after arriving at the inner courtyard, a servant girl came up to greet them and led them to the flower hall next to the garden.

According to Hua Danqin's introduction, because Du Yuwen loves flowers and the prime minister loves this granddaughter very much, he built a greenhouse next to the garden and planted various precious flowers all year round.

But at this time, the ice and snow outside were gradually melting, but the greenhouse was full of spring. Several ladies were already sitting at the table, drinking tea and chatting, while admiring the flowers in the greenhouse.

Seeing Hua Danqin and Hua Danfeng leading three strangers in, everyone looked over and asked Hua Danqin and Hua Danfeng about their backgrounds.

Hua Danqin pushed the sisters from the Hong family to the front to introduce everyone, but deliberately ignored Shen Xiaoyu. Seeing that everyone was looking at her curiously, but no one came to ask, Shen Xiaoyu was also very happy, just turned to look The flowers that bloom just right.
