The drinking lasted until late at night. Liu Ying was recalled urgently because something happened to her.
Now that she is fine, they will return to Mobei soon.
That's where they belong.
Before leaving, Beiqi looked at the young leader's invitation and said, "I hope that one day, the leader can come to Bei Desert to have a look. There is a special scenery there, the most passionate young people, and wonderful stories are staged every day."
It has its own characteristics that are different from those of the four countries. It can be said to be its own lawless place.
Shen Xingwan, who had been drunk for a few minutes, said, "I will go."
Of course she wanted to see what the legendary mercenary holy land was like.
Beiqi and Nanyuan quickly disappeared into the night, as if they had never appeared.
Qin Xuejian looked at her with strange eyes, "Why would you think of raising a mercenary army in the Northern Desert?"
Shen Xingwan blinked his eyes drunkenly, "Because it's fun."
"I believe you are a ghost..." Qin Xuejian said speechlessly.
After all, he didn't argue with a drunkard, so he stretched out his hand to help Shen Xingwan back to his room to sleep.
The next day, Shen Xingwan woke up from an unfamiliar room drunkenly, and it took him a while to realize that he was in Luoxia Pavilion.
Ban Xia came in to help her wash up, and then drove back to Shen's mansion after breakfast.
Maybe Shen Xingwan was too happy last night and drank too much. Today, he was very sleepy. He went back to the yard and took a bath, and was about to catch up on his sleep.
Qinghong opened the door and came in to report, "The eldest lady is here. She said that the eldest lady invited the girl to come."
Shen Xingwan yawned and said listlessly, "Groom me again."
She had a good impression of the eldest lady, but the eldest lady would not summon her easily.
There must be something going on.
Shen Xingwan had a simple hairstyle, wore a green gauze skirt, and walked briskly to the eldest lady's yard.
The courtyard is still quiet and solemn, which is somewhat incompatible with the bustling Shen Mansion.
"My lady, please." The maid led Shen Xingwan to the study room.
As soon as he entered, the cold air hit his face. Shen Xingwan glanced at it and saw that there were ice in the corners on both sides.
It seems that although the eldest lady is not in power, the authority is still there.
The eldest lady was copying Buddhist scriptures. When she heard the movement, she said without raising her head, "Sit down."
Shen Xingwan sat down on the chair by the window, and the maid immediately served her tea and a plate of cut fruit.
Shen Xing ate a piece of peach without any courtesy, and then ate a few grapes.
The eldest lady didn't put down the pen until she finished copying the last word, "Mingzhu's memorial day will be in a few days."
Shen Xingwan didn't speak, just listened quietly.
The eldest lady looked at her for a while and said, "If she were still here, she would definitely like you when she saw you. She always likes smart little girls."
Shen Xingwan said, "I have always liked beauties. The eldest lady is very beautiful."
Otherwise, Concubine Lu would not have been attracted to propose marriage to her nephew.
The eldest lady's face showed a little sadness, "I hope she is more ordinary. No matter whether she is married or not married in Jiangnan, I will be able to guard her and protect her."
Shen Xingwan could understand her mood because she had experienced the pain of losing a loved one.
However, she didn't understand why the eldest lady suddenly said this to her.
They couldn't be called familiar by any means, at least not familiar enough for the eldest lady to confide in her.
There must be other reasons.
Shen Xingwan was not in a hurry. While eating fruit, he waited for the eldest lady to get to the point.
After the eldest lady carefully organized the copied scriptures, she sat tiredly behind the desk and looked at Shen Xingwan.
"The master doesn't agree with you joining the family tree. I've helped you convince him. You don't have to worry." The eldest lady suddenly said.
Shen Xingwan was surprised for a moment, and then immediately said, "Thank you."
The eldest lady said in a deep voice, "I don't need your thanks."
Shen Xingwan paused, swallowed the last piece of peach, and looked at the eldest lady calmly, "What does the madam want?"
The eldest lady leaned on her seat and said in a calm tone, "I was in charge of the Shen Mansion during its most prominent period. I have close friendships with the wives of many high-ranking clans in the south of the Yangtze River, and I am also familiar with the social rules of the circle. , and all of my close friends from childhood also made mistakes in their marriages, and I have also formed many good relationships over the years."
Shen Xingwan narrowed his eyes. The eldest lady was showing her her connections and strength.
Each circle has its own gameplay and rules. These back-house circles composed of ladies and ladies from extraordinary families are especially difficult to enter.
Just like Shen Xingwan, she has been staying in the Shen Mansion for a while, but she is rarely invited. When she occasionally attends banquets, no lady comes up to talk to her.
Quite simply, she has no recognition and no guide.
This kind of circle is usually passed down from generation to generation, with the elders in the family leading the younger ones into the circle.
The so-called harem circle should not be underestimated. The background of these ladies, the husband's family they married into, and the various resources around them are inherently a manifestation of their strength.
Especially in the officialdom, so-called "lady" communication is the default method. Every official wife needs to learn how to communicate with superiors and subordinates. At certain times, these interactions may even affect the promotion of her son and husband in the officialdom.
"The eldest lady is very powerful." Shen Xingwan praised her calmly.
Sure enough, Shen Xingwan calmed down, and the eldest lady felt satisfied with Shen Xingwan, "If you are willing, these can be used for you to help you quickly gain a foothold in Jiangnan and form your own network of relationships."
I have to say, it's still very tempting.
Shen Xingwan really needs this kind of guidance from her elders. Her background is flawed and she has a natural disadvantage in this regard.
As for the old lady, she is in a delicate position and cannot care about these things.
Shen Xingwan was silent for a while, "Then what price do I have to pay?"
There is never a free lunch in this world.
The eldest lady suddenly became energetic and looked at Shen Xingwan with a bright look, "As long as you promise me one thing, everything in my hands can be yours. I will do my best to assist you and pave the way for you. You can step on it Hold my shoulders and go wherever you want!"
The eldest wife almost promised to give everything she could, and she spent a lot of money.
Shen Zhou was a little excited. Of course she could do many things by herself, but it would take more time.
But she happened to not have that much time now and couldn't wait any longer.
The eldest wife undoubtedly provided her with a better choice.
She really needs to do whatever it takes in a short period of time and use all possible means to quickly expand her power and make herself stronger.
No one knows better than her that the real storm is coming soon!
Shen Xingwan met the eldest madam's gaze, "What is the eldest madam's request? If it's too difficult, I'm afraid I can't do anything."
It won't be a simple thing that can make the eldest wife give everything she has.
