This stalemate was finally broken by Xiquan - she came here to send a message to Sheng Weiqiao on the order of Feng: "The old lady of the Xuanyu family is very thoughtful. Taking advantage of the lotus blooming now, she plans to have a show at the Xuanyu Mansion. Lotus banquet for the ladies and gentlemen of the Feng family and ours. Madam asked the slave to come and tell you two, see if there is anything you need to buy or pack in terms of clothes and jewelry?"
Sheng Weiqiao was slightly surprised and said: "How could aunt ever think of having a lotus feast? Didn't aunt hate these kinds of feasts the most in the past?"
In fact, it's not that Xuan Yu Feng really doesn't like giving banquets, but because when her uncle Xuan Yu Le was alive in his early years, he had a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days. Xuan Yu's family is a long-established and powerful family in Nanfeng County, with a fortune, so Xuan Yu and Feng's family can bear this expense. The problem is!
Every time he held a banquet, Xuan Yule would invite his friends to accompany him. Of course, he could not forget a group of gorgeous and beautiful prostitutes to serve him.
The more you play, the more you play, and the more you play, the more you play.
The feast of flowers in spring, the feast of lotus in summer, the feast of osmanthus in autumn, and the feast of plum blossoms in winter - depending on the season, the dishes, the makeup and dressing up of the beauties and the prostitutes, and the topics at the feast also change.
Then Xuanyule had many illegitimate children born on such occasions.
As his first wife, Xuanyu Feng, it is natural that she hates banquets.
Although Sheng Weiqiao had not personally seen the banquet hosted by his romantic uncle, he knew about it from the private discussions between Feng and Xiquan.
At this moment, I heard that Xuanyu Feng actually wanted to host a banquet, which naturally made me feel strange.
"At that time, the old head of the Xuanyu family was here. The old head of the family was famous for his mischief. Every time he entertained guests, he made the house a mess. Of course, the old lady of the Xuanyu family couldn't stand it." Xiquan's eyes flashed and he said with a smile. , "But now the head of the family is the old lady herself. Of course, the old lady will not behave like the old head of the family. I didn't plan to call too many people at the banquet the day after tomorrow, so I called the juniors of the three families to gather together and give Xuan Yu Add some excitement to our big house!”
The thing is actually this: after the incident about Mrs. Zhan's random affair with the couplets was clarified yesterday, Sheng Lanci and his wife, especially Sheng Lanci, were very undecided about whether to marry their only daughter to the Feng family.
After repeated discussions with Mrs. Sheng and Feng in private, Sheng Lanci finally decided to let the children see if they were compatible. After all, although he doesn't want his daughter to marry far away, he also doesn't want his daughter to be divorced from her husband after marriage.
Although Xuanyu Feng's daughter-in-law was initially considered to be a daughter of the Feng clan, if there were no girls of this generation in the Feng family who met her requirements, she would certainly not be able to make do with her only son.
Therefore, the three families decided to hold a banquet to conduct a preliminary survey of the juniors who are suitable for marriage.
After all, not only Xuan Yu was involved in the marriage proposal, but also the young masters of the Feng family, Sheng Weide and Sheng Weiqiao of the Sheng family, and Sheng Suihe who had just returned, it was actually time to consider life-long events.
The reason why this banquet was finally held in the Xuan Yu Mansion was naturally because the Xuan Yu family was the one who started this matter. In terms of emotions and reasons, the Feng family had to give priority to the Xuan Yu family.
Since the inside story involved Xuan Yu and Feng's unwillingness to have their biological niece as their daughter-in-law, Xiquan refused to say it explicitly. He only said, "Since the young lady came back, she has been bored at home all day long. Mrs. Xuan Yu's family has not seen her for some days." I miss you very much. Besides, Mrs. Xuan Yu’s family also wants to meet Miss Sun, who saved the Third Miss!"
Sheng Weiqiao glanced at Gongsun Yingjiang beside him. Seeing her timid and well-behaved look, Sheng Weiqiao twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Ying Jiang, what do you think?"
"As long as my aunt makes the decision." Gongsun Yingjiang lowered his head and said in a respectful tone, "If my aunt goes, I will go too!"
"Then let's go join in the fun." Sheng Weiqiao and Xuan Yufeng's aunt and nephew have always been in a good relationship, and they are not willing to refute their aunt's favor.
But after agreeing, she thought of something and frowned, "My aunt invited the younger members of the Feng Sheng family. I wonder where Sister Rao is...?"
"Of course I posted a message." Xiquan's expression remained unchanged and he still smiled, "But unfortunately, the third lady caught a cold a few days ago and is still not fully recovered, so I can only apologize."
It was natural that Sheng Weirao would refuse such an invitation. After all, she had not been back long, and not to mention that the rumors about her had not completely subsided. She was definitely not in the mood to go out as a guest now.
But because of this answer, Sheng Weiqiao's already not very good mood became even more depressed. After a while, he said: "I understand."
After Xiquan resigned, she turned to Gongsun Yingjiang, "You also know about Sister Rao. Look, what's wrong with her? But now she can only refuse her aunt's invitation - because if she goes to Xuanyu Mansion , even if those people won’t say anything in person, their words and deeds will definitely show rejection! Do you hope that you will be in her current situation, even more difficult than her? "
"..." Gongsun Yingjiang looked at his fingers and said nothing: What does it have to do with the girl rejecting me? A good-looking young man doesn’t object to watching the moon with me in the middle of the night and talking about life!
Sheng Weiqiao waited for a while, but when she saw that she still didn't answer him, he sighed secretly and said, "You have never been to Nanfeng County before, so you don't know what girls are wearing nowadays? Come on, let's go first. Qiongpa Pavilion, I will give you the details of the outfit the day after tomorrow!"
...Poor Xu Baomo only received the news that evening. The reason why he received the news was not that the Sheng family told him, but that it was announced to him by the Feng family who specially sent his confidants to the door, and the chief steward of the Sheng family took him to the guest courtyard. Handed over the invitation.
After all, when the Feng family posted a post for Feng Zhiren's birthday, they specially sent a copy to Xu Baomo. The Xuan Yu family also has a very close relationship with the Sheng family. This time, the entire Sheng family's grandchildren were invited. Regardless of whether the Xuan Yu Feng family wanted Xu Bao Mo to go or not, how could he be omitted from the invitation
When Xu Baomo received the invitation, he felt bad all over!
However, after the servants of the Xuan Yu family resigned, Xu Cong was still beside him, saying: "The Crown Prince said yesterday that the matter of Miss Sheng Er's becoming the Crown Prince's wife should be finalized within three days, even if today is the first day. Well, Miss Sheng Er will definitely go to Xuanyu Mansion for a banquet the day after tomorrow. The prince wants to make a lifelong agreement with Miss Sheng Er, but there is only one day left tomorrow!"
Xu Baomo was so angry that without saying a word, he lifted up the corner of his robe and kicked him!
Xu Cong dodged left and right, not forgetting to remind him: "It's getting late today. I don't want to think about how to coax Second Miss Sheng tomorrow. I have no choice but to go and find out who is good at making crutches..." Your Majesty, I sincerely care for you!"
After using his strength to beat up the expressionless young man, Xu Baomo straightened his clothes and returned to the house. He began to think seriously about how he could make rapid progress with his Da Qiao within one day tomorrow.
"It would be great if Da Qiao was like Miss Shen, who fell in love with me at first sight and pursued him actively!" Xu Baomo thought about Sheng Weiqiao's character and felt very regretful, "Then why should I be so embarrassed? I just need to agree to it. You don’t have to worry about anything!”
But then I thought, "Miss Shen is so easy to fall in love with this prince, maybe she is like this prince, falling in love with each other when she meets him? In that case, she is not a good candidate to be the head wife!"
After all, he will definitely have a house full of concubines and countless lovers in the future, so the time and number of times he can stay in his first wife's room will definitely be limited.
If his legal wife is the kind of person who easily falls in love with someone else, even if she is generous and doesn't mind him taking concubines, what if she secretly falls in love with someone while he's not around
Xu Baomo likes to flirt with women, but he doesn't like to be a cuckold!
Thinking about it this way, I think Sheng Weiqiao's difficulty in getting started is also an advantage.
"If it doesn't work, then we'll have to wait until we get back from the banquet at Xuanyu Mansion before we can argue!" Xu Baomo compared his previous experience of hunting for women, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any way to break the situation. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and stamp his feet. , "After all, this is a non-war crime - who would have thought that that little witch from the Gongsun family would suddenly disrupt the situation, and that the Xuan Yu Mansion would also hold a lotus banquet?"
It's not that he hasn't thought about taking advantage of the Lotus Banquet to express his true feelings to Sheng Weiqiao, but experience tells him that with his identity, his appearance, his erudition, and his various advantages... he just needs to appear at the Lotus Banquet. It’s impossible not to be the center of attention!
At Feng Zhiren's birthday party before, Sheng Weiqiao was a girl, and the other guests of honor were all men. How could it be that he became the center of attention due to negligence and had to ignore his big Qiao
Now at this lotus banquet, all the ladies from the three most powerful families in Nanfeng County will be present. It would be great if he is not surrounded by people by then. How can I possibly have sex with his big Qiao!
So now Xu Baomo feels regretful because he feels that under his grandfather's discipline, he paid too much attention to his studies! So much so that he didn't go deep enough into the knowledge of flirting with women, which resulted in his current predicament.
"There is no limit to the sea of learning. I, the prince, cannot be arrogant and complacent and hesitate to move forward just because you are familiar with the people in Cangwu County!" Xu Baomo deeply realized his shortcomings and made up his mind to wait for the next step. After Sheng Weiqiao is officially engaged, she must continue to work hard on the road of playboy and strive for her ambition to attract beauties from the north and south all over the world!
Perhaps God was moved by his tenacious spirit. Just when Xu Baomo was mentally prepared to be slapped in the face, an opportunity came to his door, and everything turned around!
The thing is like this - Gongsun Yingjiang came in uninvited!
She came in uninvited, not uninvited, because she didn't come in through the front door at all, but jumped directly out of the window and broke into Xu Baomo's bedroom!
Xu Baomo saw that the girl was only wearing a black shorts, and the close-fitting tailoring outlined the girl's already undulating curves. She entered the room so generously, sat on a chair not far away, and immediately turned over the rosewood inlay. On the mica round table was a sweet white glazed dragonfly and lotus tea cup. He poured himself a cup of warm tea and sipped it with pleasure - his calm look almost made him think that he was the intruder in this room. !
"Miss Gongsun, what do you mean?!" Xu Baomo was stunned for a moment, then he could not help but sullenly scolded her.
