The day Wei Yan left for Ziyun Academy happened to be the day when Luo Gong held a marriage recognition banquet.
Early in the morning, Luo Gong changed into new clothes under the service of the maids.
The brand-new sapphire blue dark damask robe made Luo Gong look tall and tall, making him look like a handsome young man.
After the maid put the jade crown on his head, Luo Gong looked at himself in the mirror for a while and then said, "Mrs. Shen, are you ready?"
He wasn't quite used to calling Shen Xiu his adopted sister.
The maids replied: "Ms. Shen has changed her clothes and is resting in the wing."
As the protagonist of today's recognition party, Shen Xiu naturally also dressed up.
Originally, Shen Xiu wanted to keep a low profile and just wear some new clothes to meet guests.
Unexpectedly, Luo Gong disagreed, saying that dressing up like this was too shabby and was detrimental to his face.
In order to make Shen Xiu match his adopted sister's identity, Luo Gong spent his own money to buy Shen Xiu a luxurious outfit.
The clothes are made of fine floral satin, which has its own pattern, so even embroidery is omitted.
As for jewelry, Luo Gong personally selected a set of gold and jade jewelry.
Shen Xiu accepted it without much rejection.
Previously, Luo Gong earned a lot of money from the orchid book she embroidered. In the future, with her double-sided embroidery skills, Luo Gong will earn even more money.
This amount of money is nothing compared to what he earns.
Therefore, Shen Xiu accepted the clothes and jewelry with peace of mind.
However, she felt that the set of gold and jade jewelry was too conspicuous, so she only wore one.
Even so, she looked in the mirror and still felt that this outfit was too high-profile.
While Shen Xiu was hesitating whether to wear this outfit to meet the guests, the guests arrived one after another.
Luo Gong also came out of the room and began to receive guests.
Magistrate Zhen was the last one to arrive. Considering his status, being able to come would have given Luo Gong a lot of face.
Others had not heard from Luo Gong beforehand that Magistrate Zhen would also come. Therefore, when Magistrate Zhen came, everyone was a little surprised.
After Magistrate Zhen took his seat, he glanced around.
After scanning everyone, Magistrate Zhen felt a little disappointed when Shen Xiu didn't come.
Fortunately, he had always been restrained, and even if he felt disappointed, no one would notice it on his face.
Luo Gong didn't notice Magistrate Zhen's loss. He sat with him for a while and felt that the time was almost up, so he sent someone to invite Shen Xiu.
Luo Gong and Shen Xiu had already discussed the ceremony of recognizing their relatives. In the absence of the Luo family elders to witness, Shen Xiu and Luo Gong only had to make a sacrifice to heaven and earth, and then burn incense before worshiping.
Luo Gong initially proposed to get some livestock as sacrifices.
But Shen Xiu felt that there was no need to be so grand, fresh fruits would be enough.
So according to Shen Xiu's wishes, only some fresh fruits were placed on the table in the courtyard. There was also a bronze incense burner.
Magistrate Zhen saw this and felt that this was quite novel.
While he was sipping tea and waiting for the family recognition to begin, a familiar figure appeared at the other end of the corridor.
Shen Xiu wore a peach-pink floral satin placket top, with a light green skirt slightly exposed underneath, and walked over with light steps.
In fact, Shen Xiusheng is quite beautiful, but she usually puts her mind on embroidery and rarely pays attention to makeup.
Now that she is wearing this gorgeous dress, from a distance, she looks like a lady, beautiful and dignified, and because the sway on her head limits her large movements, her behavior looks extremely elegant.
When others looked at her, they only felt that Luo Gong, the sworn sister, was not bad at birth and had a good temperament.
Looking at Magistrate Zhen, his eyes seemed to be glued to Shen Xiu.
Shen Xiu's appearance is 70% similar to Wanniang's, but her temperament is very different.
Wan Niang is a real lady, and every move she makes is extremely elegant.
Shen Xiu, on the other hand, gives people a feeling of not being controlled by anyone. Underneath her peaceful appearance, there is an unyielding spirit.
Therefore, after Magistrate Zhen saw Shen Xiu, although he felt that Shen Xiu was similar to Wan Niang, deep down in his heart, he did not feel the same throbbing feeling as when he saw Wan Niang.
Until he saw Shen Xiu at this moment, and when he saw Shen Xiu walking dignifiedly and gracefully, a figure deep in his memory couldn't help but overlap with the person in front of him.
At that moment, Magistrate Zhen was extremely excited, as if he was seeing Wan Niang for the first time, he was both excited and filled with joy.
But when Shen Xiu and Luo Gong stood together, Luo Gong introduced to everyone that this was his adopted sister.
Magistrate Zhen's excited and fiery heart was immediately extinguished as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on him.
At this moment, there was something he didn't understand.
Why would Luo Gong Duan Duan recognize an adopted sister? He is a child of a big family. Even though he has no biological sisters, he still has many cousins. Why would he recognize an adopted sister?
If the other party hadn't begged him, Luo Gong would never have caused such trouble.
No matter what conditions Shen Xiu used to induce Luo Gong to accept her as her adopted sister, she had only one purpose, and that was to make herself give up.
Magistrate Zhen watched helplessly as Luo Gong and Shen Xiu sued the world. He wanted to stop them, but he had no reason to stop them!
At that moment, Magistrate Zhen couldn't help but cast his eyes on Shen Xiu. He underestimated the other person's intelligence, thinking that no matter how smart the other person was, he could not escape from his grasp.
But the other party gave him a powerful counterattack.
Luo Gong was not only the county magistrate, but also a descendant of the Luo family. Shen Xiu recognized him as her adopted sister, and naturally became involved with the Luo family.
If he wants to touch Shen Xiu in the future, not only Luo Gong will stop him, but the Luo family will probably not let him go either.
At that moment, Magistrate Zhen couldn't help but secretly sigh, Shen Xiu's move was really brilliant.
