Chapter 296 Debunking (3) ([-])
The lecture meeting began, and Mrs. Guan sat in the middle, recited a paragraph, and spoke a paragraph.Today we are talking about the Ksitigarbha Sutra, and there is a scripture in front of everyone for reading.

It was the first time for Shen Ji to participate in such an event in his previous and subsequent lives. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Guan's speech was quite lively and interesting, and it was not just a dry lecture.No wonder these people regard her as their leader.I heard that the Queen Mother also likes to invite her into the palace to listen to her lectures.

Mrs. Liu Shao also had two younger sisters-in-law who were on the sidelines to help take care of the needs of the attendees, and asked the servants to mix tea.

After Madam Guan finished speaking, there was a break in the intermission, and several people discussed with her about the wording just now.Shen Ji sat enough and wanted to go out for a walk, and asked his fourth aunt if he would go, but the latter shook his head and chatted with Mrs. Lin.The purpose of her coming is to make friends with these wives, even if they get acquainted with each other, it may be beneficial in the future, so naturally she wants to stay.

Shen Ji went out on his own, and when Mrs. Liu saw it, she came up to accompany her and took her to walk slowly in the mansion.Mrs. Liu Shao is the eldest daughter-in-law, not much older than Shen Ji, so Mrs. Guan is only about forty years old.Otherwise, there is no way to be Guanyin.Not only did she often enter the palace to give lectures to the queen mother, she also united a large group of high-ranking officials and wives by her side.Everyone said that Liu Shangshu was blessed by a Bodhisattva.It can be seen how successful Mrs. Guan's wife's diplomacy is.

Shen Ji once thought that He Yun would come and do everything, making everyone present feel like they were in the spring breeze.The last time I went to Prince Lan's Mansion, I felt that she was also good at winning people over with Xiaoen Xiaohui.But now that Shen Ji has a lot of knowledge, he can see that He Yun is still a little immature.Mrs. Guan, who has always had a gentle smile on her face today, deserves this comment.

It's almost time for the next round to start, Shen Ji walked into the hall and saw Mrs. Guan was indeed exchanging ideas with the Fourth Madam, many people around were watching, and Mrs. Lin was also watching with a smile.

Mrs. Guan said with a smile, "Madam Wei is so self-effacing. There is an expert beside her who says she is ignorant."

Shen Ji smiled, "There are so many experts here, I can get this comment under my control." It seems that the fourth aunt has shown her skills.However, she just never had the chance to enter this class, and she has always been very talented.Because of this, when he was suppressed by the second wife, he pinned his hopes on teaching his son to read.Now, the husband and son-in-law are acting patriarchs, and the son has been admitted to Jinshi. What he is looking for is a good in-law.It's just that you looked down on me, Shen Ji's background, now these people may not be able to look down on the lintel of the Wei family.It seems that the Fourth Madam didn't get hurt today, but her fighting spirit was inspired.However, when she really asked these people to help find or make connections, she probably knew it, and all she got was excuses.

Shen Ji turned his head, just in time to see the smiling Mrs. Lin.There was slight disapproval in the latter's eyes, and he didn't know why Shen Ji brought people here.

Shen Ji sat down and whispered: "She is an elder." If she is an ordinary or junior, then she can directly refuse, even if the other party is dissatisfied.But as the fourth lady is an elder, it is best to save her some face and let her realize the gap.

"Be careful that she is accidentally used by someone."

"I returned to Shuzhong when I was cured. Brother Wei probably won't be able to return to Beijing for three to five years."

"It's too low to be transferred back at this time, let him go out and earn his qualifications with peace of mind."

From a different perspective, the second scene was slightly inferior to Mrs. Guan's, but it was quite distinctive.By the end of the show, the Liu Manor's luncheon was almost ready.Mrs. Guan then invited everyone to the table. Mrs. Lin was on Shen Ji's left and Fourth Mrs. Madam was on his right.As for the dishes, a rich family like the Liu Mansion naturally has its own private dishes, and will not use the noodles in the restaurant to entertain the participants.That would be too much of the price of a second-rank official's mansion.

Although the previous two speeches were very good, but Shen Ji just listened to something new at the beginning, and then he lost interest at all.Everyone present at the meeting could see this, and no one said anything in front of Madam Lin, they just let it go.He looked at her with a smile as if he was a junior.As for what to do in my heart, I don't know.

But now Shen Ji is very interested in tasting Shangshu Mansion's private dishes.She and the wife present here are quite different in age, and she has no research on the scriptures. She can still participate in the story conference if it is a lecture conference.However, when everyone was discussing this month's charity, she still paid 300 taels of silver.Mrs. Lin paid 500 taels, so she took a step back and paid 300 taels.Left and right are things like donating porridge, releasing animals, building stupas, and shaping golden bodies. [-] taels of silver is Wei Ying's salary for more than a year, and Baoyue Zhai's profit for one month.She didn't know what benefits those poor people could really get with so much money.But looking at it today, in fact, this lecture conference is similar to those charity banquets in later generations.

The fourth lady is not ordered by imperial order, but today she also took out 200 taels to participate in doing good deeds.Calculated in this way, today there are a total of 1 taels of silver.But thinking about going to the Daxiangguo Temple for incense, the monks need 50 taels of sesame oil money, Shen Ji, and I feel that it is not too much.After all, these people's identities are here, and it's hard to make a move without them.I just hope that her attitude is so inactive this time, and don't post to her again next time.

When returning home, she yawned as soon as she got into the carriage, so she said to the fourth wife, "Fourth aunt, I want to take a nap. The carriage will take more than half an hour."

The Fourth Madam laughed and said: "You, since you are copying the scriptures for the Empress Dowager, you should know more about these things. I think you secretly twisted your own leg before. Go to sleep, this carriage is spacious."

If he was the only one in the car, Shen Ji would really lie down and sleep.But there was the fourth lady, so she just changed into a comfortable position, and then fell asleep leaning on the cushion, with a homemade dog bone pillow in her arms.

The Fourth Madam watched her open the closet of the carriage and pulled the pillow made of black and white fabric. Shen Ji smiled embarrassedly, and then hugged her back.She couldn't say that she was used to hugging Wei Ying before sleeping, so now she has to hug something when she sleeps alone, especially such a soft thing that looks like a human arm, so she can sleep soundly.Not only in the carriage, but also in the room.

The fourth lady couldn't help being a little amused when she saw that she actually fell asleep while sitting and hugging a dog bone when she said she was sleeping.It was a bit stuffy at the moment, so she didn't take a thin blanket to cover her up.For a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some laughter and discord, but the relationship between Shen Ji and her is relatively good in the Wei family.From the first time she saw her, the little girl who was still squeezed out by the second wife tried her best, always smiled calmly and responded appropriately.It is often forgotten that she was only 14 years old at the time.And just now, she was not at all timid when socializing with a group of high-ranking officials and wives.The son praised this sister-in-law very much, even if the other party put him under house arrest for more than a month, he had no complaints.It's a pity that she can't find such a daughter-in-law who has no backing.Even if she is as capable as Shen Ji, she can manage the living room and the kitchen, manage the family business and live in people.Because her son is not as shrewd and capable as Wei Ying, so someone needs to be there to give advice and support.
