Chapter 17 The little girl’s mouth is very sharp (third update)

On the day of the banquet, guests from the Shen Mansion were coming and going in a lively manner. Shen Zhiyi was sent by Shen Shaowei to entertain the female family members of the guests. Lin Huixin was feeling better and was chatting with the ladies.

Suddenly I heard the butler outside singing: "The Marquis of Changping has arrived! Commander Xiao has arrived!"

Shen Zhiyi nearly choked on her sip of tea. If she remembered correctly, the officials at this banquet were all her father's colleagues. Why did Jiang Huaice and Xiao Zian come to join in the fun?

Either the soldiers in the Kyoto camp were not well-trained enough or the command post had too few cases, so they had to come to Shen Mansion.

Shen Fu also heard the butler's voice at this time, and hurriedly got up to greet him. The man was wearing regular clothes and a large cloak, and he looked very luxurious.

Jiang Huaice showed a smile: "Master Shen, you don't have to be polite. We just came to take a look. Some time ago, my subordinates hurt Master Shen. I really feel sorry for him."

His cold face said caring words, not only Shen Fu was a little overwhelmed, but Xiao Zian was also a little bit confused. He really regretted coming here with him, and could see the cold-faced god saying caring words. That really opened his eyes.

"Master Shen, we have brought you a gift to congratulate you on your promotion."

The scene was very awkward for a while. Xiao Zian hurriedly spoke up to smooth things over. Fortunately, Shen Fu didn't care anymore and led the two of them towards the banquet place: "Master Marquis and Commander Xiao are here. I am really flattered. Please, Come this way."

After bringing the two people to their seats, everyone was almost there. Shen Fu asked his servants to start serving the food. The men were drinking and chatting about official matters. However, because Jiang Huaice and Xiao Zian were here, it was a little uncomfortable. cautious.

Shen's mansion was not big, so the men's and women's seats were separated by a screen. From where Jiang Huaice sat, he could see Shen Zhiyi's side face through the connection between the two screens.

Just looking at her, he felt infinitely satisfied in his heart, and his trip was not in vain. However, when he turned his eyes and saw Meng Xuanan sitting next to Shen Shaoqing, his eyes were as cold as ice.

Meng Xuan'an raised his eyes and looked into Jiang Huaice's eyes. He was a little confused. He didn't seem to know the Changping Marquis, let alone offend him. Why was he looking at him so unkindly?

Shen Zhiyi naturally couldn't see the gazes of the two people here. As soon as she took a bite of the food, she saw Mi Qingxu's daughter Mi Shu over there covering her lips with a handkerchief and saying in disdain: "You Shen family is inviting others to a banquet." , just use such a dish that is not suitable for the countertop?"

After saying that, she used her chopsticks to dig at the plate in front of her and threw the chopsticks away. Her gesture was as artificial as possible.

Shen Zhiyi watched her movements and was about to speak when he saw his sister put down the chopsticks in her hands gracefully and looked at Mi Shu with a smile: "Miss Mi, these dishes have been shipped from Zhuangzi since this morning. Come on, it’s very fresh”

"It turns out that it was grown at home. No wonder. Poor people are poor people. Why hide it?"

Before Shen Shaowei finished speaking, Mi Shu interrupted her. At this moment, Shen Zhiyi couldn't help it anymore and asked with a sneer: "I don't know what kind of delicacies Miss Mi usually eats. Today's banquet is The dishes are prepared by the chef of Zhenweizhai, so what Miss Mi eats on weekdays must be more expensive than those from Zhenweizhai."

Zhenweizhai is the best in the world. The dishes are expensive and the recipes are very novel. Those who can afford Zhenweizhai must be rich or expensive. Lin Huixin spent a lot of money on this banquet just to make Shen Fu look good.

When Mi Shu heard the words "Zhenweizhai", she was startled for a moment, but since she had already spoken her words, there was no reason to take them back. Is this concubine mocking her for not being able to afford Zhenweizhai?

"So what about Zhenweizhai? Miss Shen Si must have never eaten sea crabs. Huaijing is located in the Central Plains. You can't even afford the transportation cost of sea crabs. Tsk tsk tsk. That's right. Miss Shen Si is a concubine. Women, of course, can’t afford to eat, unlike me, who can eat every day.”

Mi Shu looked at Shen Zhiyi mockingly. The underlying meaning behind her words was that Shen Zhiyi was a concubine and not worthy of anything good. Shen Shaowei frowned slightly, clenched her hands, and looked at her. To explode.

"Sea crabs, I really can't afford them, but Miss Mi, Mr. Mi and my father are both sixth-rank officials in the Ministry of Etiquette. Logically speaking, the cost of transporting these sea crabs can cost them half a year's salary. How dare you I asked Miss Mi how to make money by eating sea crabs every day, eh?"

After hearing Shen Zhiyi's words, Shen Shaowei gradually loosened his grip and smiled, but he forgot that Zhizhi couldn't bear any injustice now.

Mi Shu's face also changed, but Shen Zhiyi did not give her a chance to refute, and continued: "The Holy Emperor today advocates frugality and orders officials not to be extravagant and wasteful. When transporting sea crabs, I'm afraid there will be a lot of dead crabs on the road. Bar. "

"Looking at Miss Mi, she probably doesn't like eating dead crabs. That's a pity. I'm afraid all these dead crabs will have to be thrown away. Let me do the math. I want to eat these fresh sea crabs every day. Oh my! , this is really a big expense.”

"Presumably Master Mi must have other businesses besides his salary. He is really very profitable and can afford Miss Mi's extravagance and waste. I'm afraid our Holy One may not be able to enjoy sea crabs every day."

After saying this, Shen Zhiyi covered his mouth, and then added the last sentence: "In this way, Miss Mi's life is really good, it is really enviable."

Mi Shu's face turned paler and paler when Shen Zhiyi said these words. Her original intention was to show off, but she didn't expect that Shen Zhiyi would turn an army against her. She has an arrogant temper, how could she allow her to step on her face like this? .

The men on the other side of the screen also heard what they just said. At first they thought it was a quarrel between girls, until the more they heard it, the more something was wrong. Xiao Zian leaned over to Jiang Huaice and teased: "Don't say it, your little girl's mouth is... He is really very eloquent.”

Be polite first and then attack with force, use weakness to show strength, and then bring out the saint. What he said is so polite that no one can find the slightest fault. He is really a sharp mouth.

Jiang Huaice didn't say anything. He raised his head to drink the wine in the glass. A slight smile appeared on his lips. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Mi Qingxu below: "I have understood Mr. Mi's family tradition."

Mi Qingxu didn't expect Mi Shu to cause such a big trouble for him. He stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and replied with a smile: "My little girl has been spoiled by me. Please don't forgive me. I will go and deal with it right now." Take it home, little girl.”

There was a pop, and before Mi Qingxu could get up, he heard someone shouting that someone had fallen into the water. Jiang Huaice's heart tightened, and he hurried over without caring about etiquette. He saw Shen Zhiyi leaning half of his body on the railing of the pavilion. His hands were tightly grasped by Na Mi Shu.

Seeing that Shen Zhiyi's sleeves were about to be torn, Shen Shaowei trotted forward and wanted to put a cloak on her, but saw a black figure blocking her in front, and the person kicked Mi Shu away. Unable to bear it any longer, he fell into the water.

Then he took off his black fox cloak and put it on the little girl. The clothes were made according to Jiang Huaice's stature and were naturally much wider. They tightly wrapped Shen Zhiyi inside, leaving only a pair of smart eyes exposed.

Shen Shaowei and Lin Huixin were still a little shocked when they saw this scene. They went over to hold Shen Zhiyi in their arms. Jiang Huaice let go of his hand and put his hand behind his back. His eyes were very soft when looking at Shen Zhiyi, and his fingertips seemed to be still there. Her warmth made him feel a little happy.

Jiang Huaice: Xiao Zian, you know how to speak.

Xiao Zian: I know how to use cp.
