The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 294 Famous for the Battle of the Luming Banquet (1)
"What's the ranking?" Shen Xuan was the first to ask.

"Yeah, what place do you guys get in the exam, isn't it No.1?" Shen Shuoxing said in agreement, with considerable confidence in the two brothers.

Father Shen and Mrs. Zhou looked at each other, waiting for the boy's answer, Mrs. Zhou's happy eyes were filled with tears, and Mrs. Shen's eye circles were also red.The ancestors of the Shen family accumulated virtues, and the descendants finally came to the fore.

"Third Young Master No. 10, and Fourth Young Master No. 32." After changing his breath, the boy answered immediately.

After listening to the rankings, Shen Xuan had a good idea, and reminded the happy and forgetful Father Shen and Zhou, "Father, mother, don't just be happy, it's time to give out rewards, so that other people in the house will also be happy." Happy."

"Yes, yes, there are rewards, and everyone should reward them." Zhou's background was in line with the way.

"Steward Bai, go and make arrangements. Everyone in the house will reward you with ten taels of silver, and the two of us will pay the money." Father Shen turned to Bai Ming and instructed.

After Bai Ming glanced at Shen Xuan and received a nod from Shen Xuan, Bai Ming replied, "Yes, master, I will arrange it right away."

Bai Ming exited the living room and relayed the silver rewards from Father Shen and Zhou's, followed by the silver rewards from Shen Xuan and Brother Qiu and Brother Dong. The entire Shen residence was in a happy atmosphere that day.

Because of Brother Qiu and Brother Dong's election, people in the entire Shen residence have been coming and going recently.There was constant traffic.Some came to deliver posts, some came to visit and congratulate, and some matchmakers came to say kisses, which made the servants in the whole mansion very busy every day.

Brother Qiu and Brother Dong are also busy these days, besides reuniting with their classmates, they also have to deal with young masters from other mansions.People who didn't pay attention to the Shen brothers when they met before, now they will talk to them after meeting them.Fortunately, Brother Qiu and Brother Dong performed well, neither flattered nor took the opportunity to ridicule their previous behavior.

Soon the days came to the sixth day of September, which was the Luming Banquet arranged by the imperial court.Originally, the Luming Banquet was supposed to be held the day after the announcement of the rankings, but it was postponed to this day.There are many young talents among the candidates in this year's scientific examination, and some officials who have daughters who are married at the right age are moved.In previous years, after the imperial examinations, there would always be a Qunfang Banquet (blind date banquet), with new blood added to the imperial court. The emperor's dragon heart was happy, and the queen and others would naturally agree. After deliberation, it was finally decided to hold the Luming Banquet and the Qunfang Banquet together.

The emperor ordered that Su Chengxiang, the chief examiner of this session, be in charge of this matter.Two more people were ordered to assist, and the banquet location was set on the cruise ship.

"Miss, the time is coming, the third young master and the fourth young master are waiting." Ding Xiang reminded Shen Xuan who was sitting by the mirror.

This time, because of the relationship between Brother Qiu and Brother Dong, Shen Xuan was also invited to the Luming Banquet.After all, the host of this banquet is the current emperor and empress, so Shen Xuan would go to attend even if she wanted to.

"Come here, comb my hair." Shen Xuan looked at herself in the mirror and ordered aloud.

Hearing Shen Xuan's order, the five maidservants got busy with their duties, and after about half an hour, they finally dressed Shen Xuan beautifully.

"Today, our young lady must be the most beautiful." Ban Xia put down the comb in her hand, looked at the perfect Shen Xuan and said.

"It goes without saying that our lady is sure to be able to compare with those high-ranking ladies. If nothing else, let's talk about the temperament of our lady. Is that something that ordinary people can have?" Qinglian said in a consonant tone. It is full of affirmation of his master, and his master is the best in the whole world.

The other three people, although they didn't say anything more, their nodding gestures all showed that they agreed in their hearts.Listening to the conversation of several people, Shen Xuan shook her head, insinuating that the person in the mirror also shook her head for a while, and the steps above her head shook accordingly, drawing a beautiful arc.

Dressed so outstandingly, she will definitely be attacked.Women naturally love beauty, and people with poor self-cultivation, if they see a woman whose appearance is better than their own, they will definitely get in the way secretly.What's more, these self-proclaimed daughters in the capital, how could she, a "nobody" be allowed to show off in today's day, Shen Xuan thought with such certainty.

Shen Xuan looked in the mirror and made some changes to her makeup, so that she would no longer look so radiant. At least this would prevent others from paying more attention to her.At this time, Shen Xuan forgot a common saying: gold always shines, regardless of other external circumstances.

"Miss, the third young master sent his servants to ask, are you ready?" Brother Qiu's maid outside the door asked aloud.Everyone in the mansion knew that no one could enter Shen Xuan's room except her family and the five maids.

"Why aren't those three little maids here?" Ding Xiang said aloud when she heard the servant's "calling from the door."Under normal circumstances, the three little maids should stay in the courtyard, and they should report when someone comes.

"Leave this matter to Banxia, ​​and report it to me when I come back. Today's situation is different, Ding Xiang and Yun Shu will follow me." Shen Xuan got up and stood up, and gave orders while walking towards the door.

"Yes." The five answered in unison, expressing their understanding.Everyone knew why Shen Xuan ordered Ding Xiang and Yun Shu to follow.

Walking outside the door, I saw the servant girl Shishu, and before she stepped forward to salute, Shen Xuan said, "Let's go." Seeing the back of Shen Xuan's master and servant leaving, Shishu and Banxia nodded, Quickly follow.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look." After seeing Shen Xuan's disappearance, Ban Xia said to Qing Lian and Li Luo beside her, pointing to the residence of the three little maids.

My young lady treats others generously, but these three little maids are becoming more and more presumptuous. Today, I should teach them a good lesson, let them understand their responsibilities, and not be arrogant because of pet favors, Ban Xia thought so.

Shen Xuan arrived at the front yard, greeted Father Shen and Mrs. Zhou, and followed Brother Qiu and Brother Dong in a carriage to leave the mansion for the famous "Qinghu Lake" in the capital.In addition to being famous for its clear water, Qinghu Lake also has the same sound as Qinghu Lake.

There was a rumor that a poor student and a rich lady met in Qinghu 100 years ago, and the two have had an indissoluble bond since then.Poor students in order to be able to marry a beautiful woman.His identity matched him, he studied diligently, and finally passed the imperial examination and became the number one scholar.With a virtuous wife and the support of his family behind him, this man's official career has gone smoothly.

Afterwards, this rumor has been passed down, but the versions have been divided into several.No matter how it is divided, everyone has a special liking for this green lake, and this place has become the first choice for young talents to meet young ladies in the boudoir.Miss Boudoir hopes to find a good husband here, while young talents hope to meet the person they like here.

"Will all the Zhongju people go there today? A boat can't fit so many people, right?" Shen Xuan asked casually while sitting in the carriage.
