Mrs. Shen's attitude was clear, and she went to sit with Shen Jingshu directly. Everyone is also a sensible person, so naturally they won't say anything more at this moment, otherwise it will not be good for them to anger Mrs. Shen!
Shen Shilang is now a celebrity in front of the emperor, with a bright future, and now is the time to build a relationship with Shen Fu, if there is a stalemate, that would be bad!
"Grandmother, sit down, I was tired from standing just now, do you want some tea?" Shen Jingshu helped Mrs. Shen to sit, and Mrs. Shen's expression softened a little at the moment, "Well, I talked a lot just now, I'm really thirsty, so I'll drink some tea."
"Grandmother, let's try it!" Smiling and bringing tea to Mrs. Shen, Shen Jingshu's eyes flickered, she knew the purpose of those people just now without thinking too much. It's nothing more than jealousy that their family is soaring into the sky now, and some people feel unwilling.
Hmph, if she wants to provoke the relationship between grandmother and mother, she will not let the other party succeed!
"Grandma is tired? Shall we go for a walk?" It's best to stay away from these people. Shen Jingshu really doesn't want her hard work these days to be wasted if she comes out today.
Grandmother has always been prejudiced against mother, which is why she has been working hard recently, so it can't be ruined like this.
"I'm not tired, I'll take you to meet a few people." The granddaughter came out for the first time, and at this age, it's good to let more people know. The Shen family also has many families with strong relationships, and these families never gave up when the Shen family was in such an embarrassing situation before. Naturally, Mrs. Shen wanted to bring Shen Jingshu to meet them.
When the granddaughter is old, she should be known more, so that she has more choices, right
"Okay, grandma!" Just as I was talking, I saw a kind-faced woman approaching. The woman was about sixty years old, with a festive complexion, and she was wearing a blue jacket. People feel comfortable just looking at it, "Isn't it just old Mrs. Shen from a distance? Hehe, seeing that Mrs. Shen is in good health now, I'm having a good time!"
"I asked you to come here first. I wanted to find you. Shu'er, this is Mrs. Zhang from the household secretary's family."
"I met Mrs. Zhang."
"I guess this is Mrs. Shen's daughter, right? It's the first time I've seen her, she's so beautiful, it dazzled my eyes!" This old lady is also a funny person, and her words are quite straightforward.
"Well, isn't she the eldest daughter of the old family? She hasn't been out much since she came to Kyoto, and now I'm taking her out to see her."
"I think it's very good. This kind of demeanor is unmatched by ordinary people. It makes people very envious!" Shen Jingshu is now grown up, and her facial features are also opened. Combining the advantages of her parents, she naturally looks good. What's more, she has a calm personality, and her temperament is of course different. The whole person feels unforgettable at a glance.
"You have a sweet mouth, and you will say anything that makes me happy!"
"I'm telling the truth!"
"You, sit down quickly, we haven't seen each other for a long time, but we can have a good talk!"
"Of course it's very good." Mrs. Zhang sat down right away, and Mrs. Shen was not very polite. Although she was younger than Mrs. Shen, the two had known each other for many years, so it was naturally very good.
"By the way, where's your girl? Why haven't I seen you?"
"She's not feeling well today, so she's resting at home, and I didn't take her out."
"Are you all right? Why do you suddenly feel uncomfortable?"
"It's not just playful, but he caught a cold. This kid is not sensible."
"Miss Zhang is still young, so she is more playful and understandable."
"It's small, but it's only one year younger than yours. She's a big girl, and she's still ignorant! Where is Miss Shen, who is quiet and looks cute and sensible, you are lucky. "The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family is also very favored, so it is inevitable that she is used to it on weekdays.
"Don't say that, why is your granddaughter on the way? I think she is cute and cute, but you, a grandmother, are always dissatisfied! I will send some things over later, and she will be sick when she is fine. , This child is also pitiful."
"It's okay, it's just the wind. The doctor said that it will be fine after a few days of rest. Then I will bring her over to talk to you, and the two children will get to know each other."
"This is naturally excellent." The two were very familiar with each other, and naturally they spoke well. Mrs. Shen then took Shen Jingshu to meet several wives, and also met several young ladies, who were about the same age as her. These are relatively close to the Shen family, and when the girls are together, they will naturally get to know each other very quickly.
"Hehe, Ms. Shen is worse than seeing you after hearing about it for a long time. My surname is Tian, and my single name is Xin. It's a pleasure to meet you!" Tian Xin is the eldest daughter of the Yin family in Kyoto Prefecture. ,"Hello!"
"Miss Shen, Zhao Yue, hello!" Zhao Yue is the daughter of a cabinet bachelor's family. She seems to have a gentle personality, but she doesn't talk much.
"Hello!"
"Hehe, we will be friends from now on, but we need to keep in touch frequently."
"It's natural!" I met new friends, they were all close to the Shen family, and they were kind to each other. Shen Jingshu didn't talk to them much, but she also had a heart to make friends, but she felt a little bit like Yang Huilan and Shen's family. Kong Xinhe.
Whelan is pregnant again now, she doesn't know what to do, and Xinhe, she promised to come over after the next year, but why hasn't she come over
After all, it is a young friendship. They have experienced so much together, and their feelings are naturally different. Although Shen Jingshu has met new friends and started to open a new circle of friends, in her heart, Yang Huilan and Kong Xinhe's position has always been irreplaceable.
The few people just met, Shen Jingshu didn't talk much, Zhao Yue was also silent, but fortunately, Tian Xin's personality was very lively, and the atmosphere was good. After a while, the few people became familiar with each other. Speaking of family, Shen Jingshu even said no The things in Shaojiang made the two of them yearn for it, "Jiangnan is a good place. I heard that Jiangnan is rich and the food is also excellent. I have always wanted to go, but I have never had the opportunity." How can you go wherever you want if you don't go out of the second door
"There is a chef in my family who cooks very authentic Jiangnan dishes. If you like it, you can come and play together someday, and then you can try the taste!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, you can come here when you have time!" After coming to Kyoto, it is naturally impossible not to keep in touch with people all the time. Shen Jingshu knew that her roots were here. Now that Shen Wenhua was promoted, the door of the Shen family suddenly became lively. She had to hurry up and get to know some people, which was also very good for her.
Friends, you can never have too much.
"Well, I will definitely come with Zhao Yue some other day!"
"Okay!" Shen Jingshu's meeting immediately brought the relationship closer, and even Zhao Yue looked at Shen Jingshu with a warm expression, and seemed to think that Shen Jingshu could be friends .
…
Several people were chatting and laughing, and after a while, they saw a woman approaching surrounded by the crowd. The woman was wearing a luxurious red jacket, her skin was like snow, she was pretty, but her face was covered with With a little bit of arrogance, Shen Jingshu was guessing who the other party was, and Zhao Yue said, "This is the eldest daughter of Marquis Zhongyi, Mo Yingying." This result was the same as Shen Jingshu's guess. The mansion is so free, and there are so many supporting people around her, she must be the eldest daughter of the Zhongyihou's mansion.
This eldest daughter Shen Jingshu also knows that she is indeed very good looking. I heard that she is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a rare talented woman. Coupled with her status as the eldest daughter of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, this person will definitely have a bright future. . In the previous life, I heard that she was married to the third prince as a concubine, but in this life, the third prince's status is not as good as before because of Jiangnan's affairs, but I don't know if the other party will make this bet with his loyalty and shrewdness.
Just as she was thinking, she saw Mo Yingying bringing a few people to her. If Shen Jingshu was not mistaken, when Mo Yingying saw her, there was a little bit of jealousy in her eyes, but it quickly dissipated. , "Hehe. Is this Miss Shen from Shen Shilang's family?"
"Exactly, hello, Ms. Mo." Seeing Li, Mo Yingying didn't seem to expect that Shen Jingshu would know her, and she couldn't help but feel a little proud in her eyes, "Hello, Ms. Shen, I often hear your mother mentioning you these days. I saw you today. , He really is a wonderful person!" Mrs. Zhongyi Hou likes Shen Jingshu, and she also said it at home. It's just that Mo Yingying thinks highly of herself and thinks she is the best. So far, except for the princess in the palace, she doesn't think anyone is better than her. She has always been skeptical about Shen Jingshu. See you today Looking at Shen Jingshu, Mo Yingying was also very surprised. She has always been confident in her appearance, she never thought that the person in front of her would be on par with her, and even the other person had an aura that she didn't have! This made Mo Yingying feel a little uncomfortable.
Women, especially beautiful women, really don't like women who are prettier than themselves. Mo Yingying always felt that Shen Jingshu's smile was too fake, her face was too calm, and she was uncomfortable looking at her!
"Miss Mo is so amazing, Miss Mo is the real celestial being!" Smiling, Mo Yingying may not be as friendly to herself as she appears on the surface, of course Shen Jingshu can see it, but she is not turning her face at this moment Sometimes, Shen Jingshu just doesn't care about it.
"Miss Shen said that, I'm a little embarrassed." The compliment to Shen Jingshu was very helpful, and Mo Yingying's face softened a little at the moment, thinking about her task today, she walked over and treated Shen Jingshu especially Intimacy, "Mom has been talking about Ms. Shen a lot these days, which makes me very curious. I have always wanted to see her, but I can't. I am really happy to see you today. I am very happy to know someone like Ms. Shen!" What my mother meant, this person seems to be my sister-in-law, but I don't know if my second brother with high vision will fall in love with her this time.
Mo Yingying was thinking in her heart, she felt that Shen Jingshu was not bad in all aspects, except that she felt uncomfortable that Shen Jingshu seemed to be inferior to her, Mo Yingying didn't have too many thoughts for the time being.
As the eldest daughter of the Zhongyihou Mansion, Mo Yingying grew up in a halo since she was a child. She is not bad herself, so her personality is naturally a little arrogant.
"I'm also very happy. I heard Mrs. Zhongyi Hou mentioned you. I've always wanted to see you. Today I finally saw you. I'm also very happy!" After simply getting along with her, Shen Jingshu knew that Mo Yingying was a bit arrogant, but This is also created by her identity, not to mention that the other party has this capital, doesn't she
Looking at the ladies beside the other party, don't they look very kind to Mo Yingying? Some daughters with low official positions are even flattering to Mo Yingying. It's no wonder that the other party looks at people with their chins.
It's hard to say whether she likes Mo Yingying or not, anyway, she just got in touch with her, and Shen Jingshu will not spend too much time on some insignificant people.
"Hehe, Ms. Shen and I hit it off right away. Mother must be happy to know. Come on, let me introduce my friends to you. This is Zheng Yanxue from the Huguo family, and Xue Liuyan, the daughter of a bachelor. This is Zuo. The governor's daughter, Jiang Minghua, this is..." The person Mo Yingying made friends with was naturally a young lady from a wealthy family, and the people around her were at least second-rank and above family members. At this moment, I met Shen Jingshu one by one. Some are curious, and naturally there are some who are self-confident about their high status, and some just look down on them.
"Miss Shen, hello!"
"Hehe, hello!" Shen Jingshu naturally responded kindly to those who were friendly to herself, but Shen Jingshu was not a vegetarian to those who were unfriendly to herself.
"So you are the daughter of Shen Shilang's family. What's your name?" These words were a bit blunt, and it was naturally Zheng Yanxue, the prostitute daughter of the Huguo Duke's family who spoke. This Zheng Yanxue held her own identity and was very arrogant. Naturally she looked down on Shen Jingshu, a small second-rank official daughter.
"Hehe, it's me, I just don't know who this is..." Although Mo Yingying introduced them one by one just now, Shen Jingshu still remembers them clearly before, so it can be seen that her memory is excellent, but now...
Shen Jingshu looked puzzled as Zheng Yanxue's face turned red little by little, and finally turned into anger. Some people around her even pulled her, hoping she would pay attention, after all, Zheng Yanxue is not easy to mess with. But Shen Jingshu just smiled, which made Zheng Yanxue feel an eyesore, "Shen Jingshu, what do you mean?" This was the first time someone was so rude to her, how could she not remember who she was? This must be intentional, she clearly remembers all the previous ones!
"Hehe, so Miss knows who I am. It's just that I don't have a good memory, but I forgot who you are. Could you please tell me again?" Seeing the other party, Shen Jingshu knew that this person was from childhood. Being spoiled, having a bad temper, and always thinking that others are inferior to her, of course Shen Jingshu will not be polite to the other party.
Now it is the first time for her to make friends with these ladies in Kyoto. If she is bullied for the first time, won't she be laughed at all the time in the future
"You, you did it on purpose!" Zheng Yanxue looked at Shen Jingshu's smiling face and got angry, wishing she could tear it apart. She wanted to say something right now, and even taught Shen Jingshu a lesson, but Mo Yingying stopped her in time. She smiled at Shen Jingshu, she was old enough to be a peacemaker, "Hehe, Miss Shen, this is Zheng Yanxue from the Duke Huguo's family. Yanxue has a straight temper, so don't be surprised!" A look, to be honest, Mo Yingying doesn't like Zheng Yanxue very much, she thinks this Zheng Xueyan is sometimes too arrogant. Shen Jingshu is a guest of their Mo family today, and now she took the initiative to show her favor, the other party is too disrespectful to her.
Embarrassing Shen Jingshu in front of so many people, isn't that just looking down on Shen Jingshu? If you look down on the other party, isn't she, the person who took the initiative to greet her, also looked down upon? What a no-brainer!
"Hehe, it turned out to be Ms. Zheng, disrespect and disrespect!" Smiling, compared to Zheng Xueyan's on-the-spot outburst, Shen Jingshu seemed much calmer and kinder. Now she seemed to suddenly remember that the other party had the same identity, and her attitude was also very good. It makes people feel very pleasant. Compared with Zheng Xueyan's pride, Shen Jingshu makes people feel closer.
"Hmph!" Zheng Yanxue was originally embarrassing Shen Jingshu, but now seeing Mo Yingying coming out to help, she felt a little puzzled, but it still didn't happen, but she didn't give Shen Jingshu a good look, Shen Jingshu didn't mind either. , just smiled, seeing Zheng Yanxue very glaringly.
It's so hypocritical, who are you pretending to show!
"Okay, Yanxue, Ms. Shen has been in Jiangnan for these years, and she just came back now. She doesn't know many people, so don't mind." Looking at Zheng Yanxue helplessly, if it wasn't for the other party's identity Mo Yingying didn't want to pay attention to it at all.
He really has no brains, so what if he belongs to the protector's family? It's just the daughter of the second wife, what's so special about it? Is it true that you are the only person in the world who is noble
"Yingying, didn't you just say that the plum blossoms in your backyard are blooming? Let's go and have a look!" Not wanting to continue this topic, Zheng Yanxue didn't like it when she saw Shen Jingshu. It's okay, what are you doing so good-looking? Mo Yingying was prettier than her, which already made her very uncomfortable, but with Mo Yingying's identity, she could bear it. It's just that Shen Jingshu is just a little second-rank prostitute, what is there to show off? Could it be possible to beat her
Perhaps women are inherently sensitive, Zheng Yanxue felt a little hostile when she first saw Shen Jingshu, but perhaps she was jealous in her heart
"Well, okay, I was just about to take you there, let's go!" Zheng Yanxue's words just touched Mo Yingying's heart, and Mo Yingying naturally answered directly, "The red plums in the back yard are blooming very well. Alright, let's go, let's have a look!"
"Okay!" There were many adults in this hall, and a few girls wanted to go out for a walk, so it was easier, and Mo Yingying's proposal was quickly accepted. At this moment, Mo Yingying walked to Shen Jingshu's side, and she was very kind to Shen Jingshu, "Miss Shen, would you like to go too?"
"Well, good!" Originally, she was not very interested. Ever since Shen Jingshu knew what Mrs. Zhongyihou was thinking, she had been extra careful, especially in Zhongyihou's mansion. What's the matter, when the time comes, there will be no way to salvage the marriage between the two governments.
"Okay, let's go! There is a pavilion in the yard, we can cook wine and eat, and gossip!" She smiled and took everyone there. They prepared charcoal fire, tea and snacks, and in the end they talked about going to the competition.
"I see that the scenery here is pretty good. Why don't we play a game? The loser will perform a show. It's more fun, okay?" This was naturally suggested by Zheng Yanxue, and she looked at it provocatively while speaking. Shen Jingshu just wants to see Shen Jingshu make a fool of herself.
She has never heard of Shen Jingshu's talent, isn't she just better looking? What's the big deal
"Hehe, it's really good, but I don't know what we're going to play?" Mo Yingying also agreed with this proposal, and she also wanted to take this opportunity to test Shen Jingshu to see if the other party has the ability to match her brother.
Her second brother is a well-known talent, good-looking and talented. If the other party is just a mediocre woman, she can persuade her mother, it is better to give up this idea.
"It's rare for everyone to get together, so I don't play those complicated games. How about playing idioms solitaire, one person speaks idioms, and the other person picks up the idioms, and those who can't catch up can perform the show, how about this?" This show is simple. , and it is also very easy to trick people. Everyone will not object to Zheng Xueyan's proposal. As the host, Mo Yingying asked everyone's opinions and decided, "Alright, let's just play this simple one. Speaking idioms is also good Why don't you start with me, I say an idiom, Yanxue, you will follow my last word, one by one, and those who can't catch it will perform a random show, do you have any objections?" They are all daughters, so naturally they all have some skills. This proposal was proposed by Zheng Yanxue, and Mo Yingying also supported it. Of course, others would not object. In the end, Mo Yingying saw that everyone agreed, and looked at Shen Jingshu , some asked, "Miss Shen, we usually like to play some games when we are together, did you ever play games when you were in Jiangnan?"
"Although I haven't played it before, I'm very interested!" Even if some people want to see her make a fool of themselves, they can only be disappointed in the end.
"Hehe, that's fine too. In the future, we'll be together often and play some small games. It's also fun. Why don't we just start? What do you think?"
"Miss Mo, let's start, we are ready!"
"Okay, then I'll make a simple one first. Today is my grandmother's birthday, so I naturally hope that my grandmother's birthday will be better than Nanshan." He said the idiom with a smile, and Zheng Xueyan on the side quickly picked it up, "I like to eat, delicacies from mountains and seas Not bad."
"I was sick a few days ago. After taking medicine, eating other things just tastes like chewing wax. It's really uncomfortable."
"Hehe, I admit defeat..." Tian Xin couldn't think of the idiom at the beginning of the wax character, so he simply surrendered. Everyone looked at Tian Xin and admitted defeat, and immediately laughed, "Then what do you want to perform?"
"I don't know anything, just recite a poem, don't be disgusted!"
"That's what you say, let's listen!"
"The scenery of plum blossoms is nice. Let me recite a poem about plum blossoms. Peaches and plums are not jealous of each other, but their appearance is different. They are still snowy and frosty, but they are not willing to be very red." Tian Xin's poem has a good mood, which fits the current scene very well. The voice was also soft, and it sounded very comfortable. After hearing this, everyone immediately agreed, and Tian Xin sat back.
"Okay, let's continue, Miss Tian, start!"
"Okay, I don't know many idioms, so let's be in the air!"
"Pearl of Immortal Dew!"
"Pearl round and jade clean!"
"Keep Yourself Clean"
"The virtue of good life"
…
After that, it became smoother and smoother. Everyone became familiar with the game. After a few rounds, there were many people who couldn't match up. They performed performances one after another. After making a poem, everyone praised her talent on the spot. Even Zheng Xueyan sang a song, which was very nice... Everyone tried to avoid repetition in their performances. Naturally, they didn’t want to be underestimated. In the end, it was Shen Jing’s turn. Zheng Yanxue laughed immediately, "I just don't know what Miss Shen is going to perform? You can't repeat it, or it won't be interesting!" Zheng Xueyan naturally made things difficult on purpose. When the game started, she didn't say It cannot be repeated. We don't repeat, and we don't want to be said to be imitating others, but when it comes to the later stage, sometimes it is inevitable not to repeat.
Shen Jingshu knew that someone deliberately made things difficult for this round, and there was no idiom at the beginning of this word, so how could she get it right? Now that she lost and was about to perform, Shen Jingshu naturally saw the embarrassment in Zheng Yanxue's eyes. She knew that Zheng Yanxue didn't like her for some reason, but since the other party was going to make things difficult, she was not afraid, " What Ms. Zheng said is that playing games is also fun for everyone. Everyone has performed a lot, so I should change it up so that everyone won't get tired."
"Then what are you going to perform?" Very curious about what Shen Jingshu is going to perform, Zheng Yanxue has never heard of what the other party will do, and when everyone performed just now, Shen Jingshu was very silent, although the idioms Right, but Zheng Yanxue didn't want Shen Jingshu to be so complacent, so naturally she wanted to make things difficult.
"Well, Miss Zheng, tell me, what should I do?" Leaving the question to the other party, Shen Jingshu knew that Zheng Yanxue wanted to see herself make a fool of herself today, so Shen Jingshu naturally wanted the other party to slap herself in the mouth.
The only blame is that the other party is too conceited. She won the lottery at the Hundred Flowers Festival seven years ago. Although it is in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not as good as the capital, but there are no fewer talented women than the capital!
I just don't know if her expression will look good after a while
Shen Jingshu was looking forward to it.
"Everyone is tired after playing for a while. Why don't Miss Shen play the piano for us? Does it make everyone relax?" Zheng Yanxue's words were of course intentional. Mo Yingying is proficient in everything, but The best thing is of course a good piano. It really lingers for three days. Even the empress of the family praised Mo Yingying. Zheng Yanxue deliberately asked Shen Jingshu to play the piano in front of Mo Yingying. Are you trying to keep the other party from coming down on purpose
Although Shen Jingshu didn't know Zheng Yanxue's plan, but when Zheng Yanxue made this request, she naturally knew that the other party must have a plan. Looking at Tian Xin and Zhao Yue's worried eyes, Shen Jingshu smiled at them, but I don't mind, "Okay, okay, I haven't played the piano for a long time, but I'm new, so it's good to practice." In fact, few people know her piano skills, Shen Jingshu only plays when she is in the mood, but whether it is Both Banyan Tree and Shen Wenhua agreed that her piano skills were excellent, and the tunes she played had a special flavor. Shen Jingshu was still very confident in her piano skills.
"Okay, then it's settled!" Seeing Shen Jingshu's blunt agreement, Zheng Yanxue secretly laughed at Shen Jingshu's overreaching, even daring to play in front of Mo Yingying, who is a veritable talented woman, That good piano was also handed down by the master of playing the piano. Even the birds would be intoxicated by the sound of the piano. Didn't Shen Jingshu slap her own face
Zheng Yanxue was complacent, and the smile on her face became bigger and bigger. She seemed to be able to foresee everyone's expressions after Shen Jingshu played for a while. Looking at the complicated expressions of the people present, Zheng Yanxue felt happy in her heart!
Hmph, isn't she just a second-rank prostitute? What's the big deal? Yingying was so friendly to her, she was going to make a fool of her!
Speaking of Zheng Yanxue's interest in Mo Yingying's second brother, now that she has reached the age of marriage, she naturally pays special attention to these young women who are invited to the Zhongyihou's Mansion. Shen Jingshu's appearance and demeanor make her Very jealous, how could she not care
Seeing Zheng Yanxue's eyes, Shen Jingshu was very calm. She felt that the faces of the people present changed when Zheng Yanxue asked her to play the piano. Tian Xin and Zhao Yue beside her were even more worried. Some people naturally have an attitude of watching the show, and of course some are self-preserving. These Shen Jingshus can see them one by one. At this moment, she can clearly see who can make friends, and she has a good idea , Shen Jingshu looked at Mo Yingying, and seeing the other person's expression was different, she was also a little puzzled, "Miss Mo, I don't have a piano here, I wonder if you can lend me one?"
"Do you really want to play the piano?" Looking at Shen Jingshu's weird expression, Mo Yingying couldn't tell what it was like at the moment, but she also wanted to see Shen Jingshu make a fool of herself in her heart, so that she could completely suppress him up. When the second brother finds out, he will definitely not think about the person in front of him any more, and then the mother will definitely not make any more moves, which is also good.
A character like her second brother is naturally worthy of the best. The person in front of her is just a person who is not smart enough and has some bravado. How can she be suitable for them in the Zhongyi Houfu
"Well, since Ms. Zheng proposed, I think my piano skills are barely passable. It's okay for everyone to relax. Is it convenient for Ms. Mo to borrow the piano?" Shen Jingshu just pretended not to see Mo Ying Yingying's eyes are complicated, but judging from Mo Yingying's choice, she knows whether the other party is worthy of her deep friendship.
"Okay, since you want to play the piano, I'll just borrow it from you. Go and get my Jiaowei piano!" As soon as Mo Yingying said this, everyone was surprised, even Shen Jingshu was a little surprised.
