In Kyoto, girls from the four major families are not the ones ordinary people have the confidence to marry. So most of them marry within the four major families, but there are also a few who marry into wealthy and distinguished families.
But these people, without exception, are either married to be the eldest son's direct grandson's wife, or they are the future brides of the family.
After all, with the support of the four major families, their husbands can become the future heads of the family.
How can a wealthy family not have competition?
There are too few people like Chu Cimo who have no intention of competing at all.
And once this happens, it will be too internal friction, so everyone will either not marry, or if they marry, they must marry the heirs from the four major families.
The Chu family can only be regarded as the new rich in Kyoto.
Because Bai Shanshan has a special status, she first married Chu Cimo and then met the Bai family, so this is also the first job in Kyoto!
So even if Bai Shanshan has no intention of competing, she still puts such pressure on Shen Ruojing!
At least that's how it seems to outsiders.
For example, now, when the housekeeper is considering arranging seats, he must consider whether Bai Shanshan is before Shen Ruojing or after Shen Ruojing...
When the butler sighed silently, Shen Ruojing waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "I can just sit at the second table."
After all, she has no consciousness of being the mistress of the Chu family.
The company has been handed over to Lu Hui. As a retired person, why should she find something to do for herself? If Bai Shanshan is in charge of the Chu family's internal affairs in the future, wouldn't she be able to be the hands-off shopkeeper?
But as soon as she finished speaking, two voices came over:
"No!"
"no!"
Mrs. Chu and Bai Shanshan shouted at the same time.
Mrs. Chu frowned: "You are Chu Cichen's fiancée, and this position cannot be shaken no matter what!"
They are all top luxury brands. If they are worn by more aristocratic people, their brand image will be higher, but if they are worn by people with no status... it will only lower the reputation of their brands.
The rules are set by people. If the Chu family entertains guests, then the Chu family makes the decision.
Miss Shen's calmness is all pretending, but what can she do? Her family background is not as good as Bai Shanshan's. If there is another quarrel at home, neither party's face will look good!
Shen Ruojing is her benefactor in this life.
In the afternoon, there was a knock on the door.
He hurriedly looked at Shen Ruojing and saw her turning around and walking out: "Which room is Shanshan in? I'll go with her, and there will be a staff officer."
housekeeper:"……"
Bai Shanshan nodded: "I think it's good too."
Shen Ruojing walked up to Lada Brand. When she was about to raise her arms, the manager of Lada Brand ignored her and even glared at her. Then she walked towards Bai Shanshan, her attitude changed drastically and she said earnestly:
The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief.
"Really?" Shen Ruojing nodded: "That's it. You wear white and I wear red."
Shen Ruojing walked over calmly and looked at the brands one by one.
Shen Ruojing opened the door and saw the housekeeper standing outside, "Miss Shen, I called several high-end brands to come to my house to customize banquet dresses for everyone. Now that they are here, do you want to go and take a look?"
If it weren't for the Chu family's banquet, she wouldn't even want to wear a dress.
Seeing them worrying about this kind of thing, Bai Shanshan's face turned red with annoyance: "I, I'm not part of the Bai family. I never grew up in the Bai family, and I don't know my grandma now, so I follow Haicheng's rules. As a rule, I’d better sit at the second table!”
Seeing how determined she was, the housekeeper couldn't help but glance at Shen Ruojing again. She hoped that Shen Ruojing would take the initiative to take a step back. After all, the head table and chairs were really unsightly.
Her eyes were red: "I can't let my sister-in-law be wronged because of me!"
When the time comes, it doesn't matter whether Mrs. Bai is angry or not.
She came to Bai Shanshan's room and knocked on the door. After entering the room, the brand owners happened to be there, and Bai Shanshan was dazzled by the sample clothes and picture albums they brought.
One of the brands has another white skirt, which suits Bai Shanshan very well.
Mrs. Chu also immediately looked at Bai Shanshan: "No, let's add a chair! If it's ugly, make it ugly! That's it!"
Shen Ruojing nodded obediently: "Okay, where is it? Take me to see it."
Mrs. Chu returned the invitation list to the housekeeper domineeringly, "Just do as I say."
Take a look.
Mrs. Yun took Yun Wei out to buy things for the wedding, while Mrs. Chu arranged all the details of the banquet.
If it weren't for Shen Ruojing, she would still be coaxed by that family of vampires, and she would never know the truth.
But Shen Ruojing didn't care about this at all, thinking that Mrs. Chu's decision was settled.
The servant who stayed in the room glanced at Shen Ruojing awkwardly: "They said they would go and customize the second lady's clothes first and ask...Ms. Shen to wait a moment."
Seeing that she didn't speak any more, the housekeeper sighed silently, turned and left.
There was a thump in his heart, and he suddenly felt that it was over.
These brands also have competition.
The two chose clothes casually, and then they had to take measurements according to their body shapes. The brand chosen by Bai Shanshan actively took her three-dimensional measurements.
The housekeeper suddenly felt a little sorry for Shen Ruojing's "forbearance".
Bai Shanshan also shouted: "Sister-in-law, I respect you the most in my heart. You can't sit under me! I'll sit at the second table and you sit at the first table!"
Any normal person would probably be angry at this time.
Seeing Shen Ruojing, she immediately said: "Sister-in-law, have you made your choice? Come and give me some advice."
"Ms. Bai, please take a look at our brand. Our brand also has white skirts. We can also change the color of the red skirt you like to white..."
The housekeeper also hesitated: "Where is the brand?"
Therefore, in Bai Shanshan's mind, Shen Ruojing is a person closer to her than the Bai family.
So Shen Ruojing, who didn't take it seriously at all, inexplicably noticed that the butler's eyes seemed to have some pity.
At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh silently in my heart.
Shen Ruojing: "..."
After entering the door, I found no one inside.
The housekeeper walked ahead and took Shen Ruojing to a reception room.
Mrs. Chu said, "We are outsiders to begin with, so we might as well follow our Haicheng rules! Jingjing must sit at the first table! There is no doubt about this."
After finishing speaking, she looked at the red dress from the Lada brand and said, "Sister-in-law, this dress suits you."
Celebrities may ask for temporary dresses and dresses from brands, but the real wealthy families are rushing to buy from these brands.
Bai Shanshan took the initiative, and Mrs. Chu was about to comply, but the housekeeper suddenly said: "I'm afraid this won't work. Second Madam, you are not only representing the Chu family at the banquet, but also the Bai family's face." .Anyone who marries from the four major families must be the head of the table in her husband's family. This is the rule of the major wealthy families in Kyoto. If you break the rules for this, it will look like our Chu family has slapped the Bai family in face. This will damage the reputation of the Chu family and the Bai family. Not only will people accuse us of not following the local customs, but it will also bring disgrace to the Bai family."
Shen Ruojing went upstairs and rested upstairs.
Now that the seat issue has been decided, there are still many things to deal with.
Shen Ruojing pointed to that one and said, "This one is good."
The granddaughter left behind by the Bai family has been found, and this matter has long become a hot topic in Kyoto.
If she can wear her own dress at the banquet, it will be free publicity for the brands! So today, these brands are trying their best to get Bai Shanshan to choose them.
This is why the housekeeper clearly asked them to wait in the lounge for Shen Ruojing to choose first, but these people made the decision privately and came to Bai Shanshan first!
Hearing this, Bai Shanshan's face turned slightly red, and she glanced at Shen Ruojing awkwardly: "I chose this red skirt for my sister-in-law."
Lada's manager immediately said: "With all due respect, this dress is not suitable for Ms. Shen. Her temperament does not match the concept of our brand..."
