Zhou Man looked at her worriedly, fearing that she wouldn't be able to handle it.
Shen Xingwan lowered his eyes and said softly, "I have a dull talent. I have been with the master for many years, and I only have the ability to play the piano."
She also spent a lot of time with Lin Zhiyu in the past few days, so she couldn't help but give it a try and found that her piano skills were not bad.
Lin Zhiyu said that her piano sound has a unique flavor and she cannot be called a famous artist, but her personal style is obvious and she is considered unique.
Mrs. Shao Si took advantage of the situation and said, "It is our honor to hear Miss Qi's piano."
A pair of pianos that were worth a lot of money were quickly placed on the stage.
Shen Xingwan stood up, walked over and sat down, raised his hand and a string of notes slipped out of his hand.
The sound of the piano has a hint of wildness and a unique charm, which is different from that of the ladies present.
Shen Xingwan was sitting there dressed in purple, and the sound of the piano brought with it an attractive charm.
Soon the song ended and there was silence.
As soon as she made her appearance tonight, everyone felt that she was indeed capable of making the Prince Regent fall in love at first sight.
Among the three betrothal gifts, Shen Xingwan got the set of blue field jade jewelry.
Mrs. Shao Si smiled and told her daughter, "Mu Xue, take the girls to play in the back. It's quite boring to stay here with us."
Shao Muxue stood up and smiled generously, "Sisters and sisters, follow me."
The girls all stood up and followed Shao Muxue lively.
The Shao family specially prepared a smaller courtyard to entertain these wealthy ladies, where the food and entertainment were all exquisite.
Zhou Man followed her every step of the way, ready to rescue her at any time.
The girls entered the yard and started playing quickly. Some played chess, some threw pot, and some talked with friends. They were less restrained than in front of adults.
Zhou Man had a friend come to play with her, and she looked at Shen Xingwan very hesitantly.
"Sister, go play and don't worry about me." Shen Xingwan said, "I'll take a rest here."
Zhou Man was eventually pulled aside by her friends to play.
Shen Xingwan sat there alone, and no one took the initiative to approach her.
As the young master, Shao Muxue worked hard to greet and arrange the girls. He walked to her and sat down next to her with a smile, "Why didn't Miss Seven go play?"
Shen Xingwan said calmly, "I'm not familiar with them, so I won't bother them."
"Then let me talk to Miss Qi." Shao Muxue sat down with a smile.
She first curiously asked about Shen Xingwan's life at the Taoist Temple, and Shen Xingwan casually made up a few words to deal with it.
"I heard that the Shao family's business is very big." Shen Xingwan showed a look of yearning on his face, "Have you been to many places?"
The smart Shao Muxue caught her expression, realized that she was interested in this topic, and followed her words to talk a lot.
Shen Xingwan calmly guided the conversation, "I heard that the rouge and gouache sold by the Yan family is the best, right?"
Shao Muxue said with some surprise, "I didn't expect Miss Seven to still pay attention to this."
Shen Xingwan smiled and said, "I was too bored when I was in the mountains, so I learned how to make rouge from ancient books, and I make it myself every year. I like all kinds of beautiful rouge."
Shao Muxue instantly understood that some people like antiques, some like paintings, and some like beautiful jewelry.
The seventh lady in front of me probably has a special liking for Rouge, and the best way to get closer is of course to fall in love with her.
Shao Muxue said eloquently, "The Yan family is most famous for its tea rouge and silk. Their rouge is indeed unique."
"My sister who lives in the house said that she once bought Yan family's rouge, and the color was very unique." Shen Xingwan was obviously interested in this topic.
Shao Muxue chuckled and said, "The style is indeed different from what we have here. It has its own special features."
Shen Xingwan frowned slightly, "It's a pity that I can't buy the Yan family's rouge in Xiling, otherwise I really want to see it."
Shao Muxue completely understood her mood and lowered her voice and whispered, "It's not impossible."
"Really?" A smile appeared on Shen Xingwan's always cold face.
Shao Muxue felt that she had found an opportunity to bring the two of them closer together, so she lowered her voice and said deliberately, "Not many people know about this matter. I told Miss Seven, but Miss Seven must keep it a secret."
"I definitely won't talk nonsense." Shen Xingwan nodded.
"Actually, the Yan family has a store in Xiling, but they don't directly use the Yan family's name." Shao Muxue said.
This is what many businesses do. Especially in the past two years, when the world has been unstable, many wealthy businessmen prefer to cooperate with local businesses and borrow their names to sell their own products rather than using their own names.
There is a slightly famous Rouge Pavilion in Xiling. The shopkeeper is a local from Xiling. In fact, this store belongs to the Hua Family.
Chen Xingwan's eyes lit up, "Is it true? Thank you for telling me." Then he said in a disappointed tone, "However, mother is not worried about me going out alone, otherwise I really want to see it."
Shao Muxue rolled her eyes and saw the opportunity, "I can accompany Miss Qi there. The Shao family has some friendship with the shopkeeper of that store."
"Really? That's great." Shen Xingwan was immediately moved.
The two of them had a great conversation, and their relationship immediately became intimate.
When the banquet came to an end, Shao Muxue's name for her had changed from Miss Seven to Ran Ran. The two of them tended to become more and more speculative as they chatted.
At the end of the show, the two of them made an appointment to go to the Rouge Shop to see Rouge together.
Shao Muxue walked her to the door warmly, "Don't worry, I'll come to your door to make an appointment soon."
Shen Xingwan nodded, "Then I'll leave first."
As soon as he got on the carriage, Shen Xingwan immediately put away the smile on his face. He was really tired of acting.
Getting the information she wanted was not in vain.
Zhou Man handed her a cup of hot tea, "How do you feel?"
"It's okay. Miss Shao is a good talker and knows a lot about outside things." Shen Xingwan said softly.
Seeing that she was having a good time, Shen Man felt relieved and today's mission was successfully completed.
The carriage was walking slowly on the bluestone road. Fat Cat was sitting on a stool eating cakes. Shen Xingwan took him into the carriage.
Zhou Man couldn't help but look at it a few more times, "This cat is so smart and eats very cleverly."
Shen Xingwan said seriously, "Maybe it's because I grew up in a Taoist temple. I have a bit of spirituality. I am indeed smarter than ordinary cats."
The fat cat was very happy to eat. He is really cute and fat.
The two sisters talked incessantly, and Shen Xingwan always felt that this alley seemed too quiet.
"Is it always so quiet at night?" she asked.
Zhou Man was stunned for a moment and realized something was wrong.
The fat cat who was eating suddenly jumped down and said, "Get down quickly!"
Shen Xingwan didn't have time to think too much, so he pulled Zhou Man off and the two of them lay on the carriage.
As soon as he lay down, a flying arrow came from the sky, and the carriage was shot into a sieve.
