Chapter 424 Don't you remember things in your old age? Eat more ginseng.
Isn’t this coming?
Xie Zhu waved her fan and smiled: "Since Miss Shen invites you, who dares not to give face? However, Miss Shen may be a noble person who forgets things. When Miss Shen sent someone to deliver the invitation, my little aunt also sent someone Tell Miss Shen clearly why you can't come."
"My little aunt made an appointment with the Ninth Young Master to go to Yunzhong Temple to see Master Huiyuan. She left yesterday and couldn't come to Miss Shen's appointment. I hope Miss Shen will forgive me."
"Although I have to give Miss Shen some face, Master Huiyuan is the mentor of the Ninth Young Master. The Ninth Young Master has grown up under his guidance since he was a child. How can he not pay homage to such an elder who has such a great kindness?"
"In this case, I can only push Miss Shen's invitation."
Since he is the mentor of the Ninth Young Master and Xie Yixiao is engaged to the Ninth Young Master, it is reasonable for him to meet his master. No matter how much face Shen Mingzhu has, should he still attend this spring banquet without paying homage to his elders?
If Shen Mingzhu dares to show any dissatisfaction with this matter, it is her fault.
Shen Mingzhu's mouth froze: "It seems that there is such a thing, but I forgot about it."
Xie Zhu chuckled: "My grandfather always said that when people get old, they always forget things. You need to eat more ginseng slices to enhance your memory. Miss Shen might as well give it a try when she gets back."
Don’t you remember things in your old age?
Eat more ginseng.
Shen Mingzhu was so angry that her face turned green and she almost exploded.
This Xie Zhu is still so annoying!
However, Shen Mingzhu still remembered that the person she was mainly dealing with today was not Xie Zhu, so she didn't want to start a fuss first, so she endured it for the time being. She clenched her fingers into fists and said in a cold voice: "That's really a pity. I can only invite Miss Xie to come next year. "
Xie Zhu said: "This Spring Festival banquet is a matter for us little girls. If my little aunt is not married yet next year, I will happily accept Miss Shen's invitation."
Shen Mingzhu's face changed again.
Will Xie Yixiao not get married next year?
Even if it is impossible, although the wedding date has not been determined, many people speculate that her wedding date may be in the second half of the year. Unless there is really no suitable good day in the second half of the year, it will be moved to the next year. February and March.
She won't get married in February or March next year, which means the wedding is approaching. If she doesn't come, no one can make a mistake.
Shen Mingzhu was so angry that she couldn't speak: "Miss Xie is really very similar to your aunt. They both know how to talk."
This statement is quite yin and yang.
Xie Zhu smiled, and she reached out and touched her face gently, feeling a little happy: "Really? Does Miss Shen think they are similar? I also think that after all, they are aunt and nephew, so it is normal for them to have some similarities, but the younger aunt is born with a different It’s so pretty, but I’m not as pretty as my little aunt.”
"Hey, it would be great if I were as beautiful as my little aunt!"
Shen Mingzhu choked again, then shook her sleeves, turned around and strode away.
Xie Zhu covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and then laughed.
As long as Shen Mingzhu doesn't talk about those 'martyrs', how can she take advantage of her?
After Shen Mingzhu arrived, all the girls took their seats, and then someone brought tea and food, and the Spring Festival Banquet began.
The seats were arranged in a U-shape, with an open space in the middle. There were two tables at the end. One of them was where Shen Mingzhu was sitting. The other one was still empty. The guests probably hadn't arrived yet.
The remaining seats are arranged facing each other on both sides of the open space. There are two rows of desks on each side. There are two chairs behind each desk, which can seat two people.
Guests came one after another, and Shen Mingzhu also invited a dancer. The dancer in cool clothes danced on the open space between the seats to entertain everyone.
"I have never seen a dancing girl entertained at the Tanchun Banquet." Ji Danshu was a little surprised.
The girls are not men, so they don't really like to watch the dancers dance, because they don't like these coolly dressed dancers, and they don't know how to appreciate the graceful beauties.
Xie Zhu whispered: "This is my first time seeing you too."
The two cousins spoke in a low voice, and Cao Sijin and others came one after another. Cao Sijin and Qin Yinqing were walking together. They saw Xie Zhu and Ji Danshu, raised their eyebrows slightly, and then walked forward, and were led to their seats by the maid. sit down.
Cao Sijin's position was the first one close to the main seat. Qin Yinqing sat with her and straightened her back in the face of many looks coming her way.
Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "Miss Cao is here."
Cao Sijin nodded: "I was late, don't blame Miss Shen."
Shen Mingzhu smiled again: "Miss Cao can come here to give me face. There is no such thing as sooner or later. Just come. But if you want to say it's late, there are still people who haven't come."
What she said was quite profound. The fact that Shen Mingzhu invited Gu You to attend the Spring Festival Banquet had long been spread in the Imperial City. Everyone was secretly looking in the direction of the door from time to time to see what Gu You was doing. The time has come.
This 'someone hasn't come yet' must refer to Gu You.
Cao Sijin smiled, turned to Qin Yinqing and said, "Miss Shen has put a lot of thought into this spring banquet. Miss Qin looks at those who like to eat, so don't be polite to her."
Qin Yinqing nodded: "Okay."
The people on the side laughed when they heard this: "Speaking of when is Miss Qin's wedding date, you two sisters-in-law seem to have a good relationship."
Cao Sijin smiled and said: "The wedding date of Miss Qin and my third brother has not yet been decided, but it will be either in the second half of the year or next spring. Please remember to come to our Cao family for a wedding banquet then."
When the girls heard this, they responded: "The time will come."
Cao Sijin said: "Then Miss Qin and I will have tea instead of wine and invite you all to come."
The girls then drank a cup of tea with her and smiled slowly.
After Xie Zhu drank tea with Ji Danshu, she whispered to Ji Danshu: "This is the fourth girl in Duke Cao's palace, but she is a very capable girl. If someone can marry her back, she will be there for the next three generations." If you sit here, you don't have to worry about anything."
Cao Sijin is an example of a noble daughter from aristocratic families. Who would not praise her for her noble style? She is the best candidate for the clan's wife and matron. She also comes from the Duke's palace, so she is really noble beyond words.
If there is any shortcoming in this, it is probably that this girl's appearance is really average.
"The person next to her is the daughter of the Minister of Rites, her name is Qin Yinqing. She has a good relationship with her little aunt. When her little aunt was in the Changning Marquis Mansion, she often played with her. Last year, they got married. The promise was Cao Jiankong, the second and third son of Duke Cao's mansion."
Ji Danshu nodded to express her understanding.
"The person opposite who glared at me fiercely, needless to say, the girl from the Liao family, Liao Wanxi, wishes she could eat my flesh and drink my blood. If I see her in the future, if I dare to offend you, I will make her cry. "
Xie Zhu didn't dare to openly confront Shen Mingzhu, but for Liao Wanxi, she just tore it in the direction that was easier, without giving any face.
