In the afternoon, the passenger ship docked at Yangzhou Pier.
Shen Tang stood behind Shen Xingwan and waited until all the guests had arrived before slowly taking her off the boat.
As soon as they landed, a long-awaited Aunt Zhou came up with two maids, "Is this the Second Master Shen of Jiangling? We were ordered to take the master and his lady into the city."
Shen Tang said a few words to Aunt Zhou in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, and she politely handed them their luggage, "You two, follow me, the carriage is waiting in front."
The group of people walked for a while, and sure enough, they saw the waiting carriage as soon as they walked out of the pier.
"Girl, please get in the car." Aunt Zhou said respectfully.
"drive!"
Suddenly, a young man galloped towards Shen Xingwan on horseback.
Shen Xingwan stood there, raising his eyes slightly coldly, his whole body motionless.
Sure enough, the horse stopped in time just a second before it was about to kick her.
"The little girl has good courage."
The young man on horseback is dressed in black and gold-trimmed clothing, with a hairband of the same color on his head fluttering in the wind. He is long and graceful, with jade trees facing the wind.
Shen Xingwan remembered that phrase in an instant - a young man wearing bright clothes and an angry horse.
It's a pity that the young man looked at her with provocative eyes.
Aunt Zhou said from the side, "Seventh Young Master, why are you here?"
Shen Guijiu, who was called the Seventh Young Master, looked at Shen Xingwan frivolously and said, "I heard that the new sister is very beautiful, so I came here specially to have a look."
After speaking, he looked arrogantly and waited for Shen Xingwan to reply.
Shen Xingwan calmly withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and pretended to adjust his skirt, and got straight onto the carriage under Shen Guijiu's hot gaze.
Shen Guijiu, who was completely ignored, was stunned for a moment.
Then he laughed and said, "Oh, I have quite a temper. I hope my sister will always have such a temper."
Shen Xingwan rolled his eyes in the carriage and soon heard the sound of horse hoofbeats. He opened the curtain and saw that the seventh young master had already ridden away.
Behind me, Grandma Zhou took the maid in a car alone.
The eldest maid Qinghong couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what do you think of this young lady?"
She had always been a third-class girl, and she finally found a way to be selected this time. Unexpectedly, she was assigned next to this young lady from the country.
"She does look good, but her temper is hard to tell for the time being." Aunt Zhou said matter-of-factly.
Another little girl couldn't help but whispered, "It is said that her grandfather is just the concubine of a certain house."
Among the young ladies from the Shen family invited this time, their status can be said to be the lowest.
Qinghong paused while pouring tea, "I just do my job well. No matter what her background is, she is still the master."
When Aunt Zhou heard this, she gave Qing Hong a high look. She was someone who could calm down and hold her breath.
With a few words in mind, he took the tea poured by Qing Hong and took a sip, "This lady is indeed of unknown origin, and being put on the invitation list certainly has her special characteristics."
Qinghong immediately said sincerely, "Please give me some advice."
"This Miss Xingwan, due to some unforeseen circumstances, had an affair with the daughter of the Hou family. Before she was seven years old, she became the eldest daughter of the Marquis and received the training of a top-notch lady."
Qinghong and another little girl couldn't help but look surprised.
"There is such a thing!"
Aunt Zhou smiled slightly, "Do you know about Shengshi Academy?"
The two men nodded. There were many literati in the south of the Yangtze River, and they were very interested in learning. Speaking of men, there were four major academies, each leading the way.
Among women's schools, only Shengshi Academy is the most prestigious, even though it is located in a small Jiangling.
"Miss Shen didn't give in once she fell. She was in the top three in Shengshi Academy's assessment for three consecutive years, and even took the top spot last year." Aunt Zhou said, and she couldn't help showing a look of admiration on her face. .
She is the nun in charge, and she can be regarded as a sharp eye trained by working with her master.
This little girl is definitely not a simple person.
Shen Xingwan didn't know that others were talking about her, and while passing the carriage to see the customs and customs of Yangzhou, she enjoyed the tea and snacks prepared in the carriage.
"You should also eat some." Shen Xingwan said to Banxia.
Banxia ate two different pieces of dim sum and couldn't help but said, "Miss, this tastes as good as the prime minister's dim sum."
"This Shen family...it seems that I underestimated it." Shen Xingwan said with a sigh.
The original text was written from the perspective of the heroine, and nothing related to her was written at all.
And she did have preconceptions about the Shen family. She always thought that when she came back to the Shen family, she would follow the path of farming, but now it seems that is not the case.
"After entering the Shen Mansion, you should try to find out as much information as possible, and spend the money you should."
"I understand." The lady nodded.
After walking for about an hour, the carriage finally stopped.
"Miss, please get out of the car." Aunt Zhou's voice sounded outside the car.
Shen Xingwan got out of the car and looked up. What he saw was a wide area of pavilions, pavilions, and houses one after another. The main house of the Shen family was surrounded in the center.
Even Ban Xia, who was born in the Houfu, couldn't help but take a breath of air-conditioning. In the capital, this scale can almost become a city of its own.
Shen Xingwan didn't show any emotion on his face and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Is this the so-called clan that has lasted for hundreds of years? Is it already in decline?
With just one glance, you can almost get a glimpse of the profound details inside.
Aunt Zhou led the way, "Miss, please come inside with me."
Shen Tang walked up to Shen Xingwan, with an inexplicably solemn expression on his face.
The group of people walked on the floor paved with bluestones, and finally, Grandma Zhou took them into a small courtyard with exquisite decoration.
"Please, Miss and Master, please stay here first." He pointed at Qinghong and said, "If you need anything, just ask her. She will serve Miss during this time."
This should not be the main house, Shen Xingwan knew it, "Mom, can we come and go freely?"
The purpose of her coming to Yangzhou was not for this inexplicable flower viewing feast.
Aunt Zhou couldn't help but glance at her and said respectfully, "Miss is a guest. Of course she can move freely. She can go wherever she wants."
Shen Xingwan nodded, and Banxia naturally handed over two purses. It was obvious that one was for Grandma Zhou and the other was for the little girl.
Aunt Zhou took it and said goodbye quickly, sighing in her heart that she had indeed stayed in the Hou Mansion and could not be treated like a country girl who knew nothing.
"My name is Qinghong." Qinghong quickly walked towards Shen Xingwan's luggage.
After staying on the ship for two days, Shen Xingwan was finally a little tired, "Let's take us to the room we're staying in first."
"Yes, miss, come with me."
Qing Hong took Shen Xingwan into the inner courtyard and opened the door.
Shen Xingwan glanced at it casually. The decoration was very elegant, and it was obvious that he had put great care into it.
Qinghong is a discerning person, "I think the lady is also hungry. I'll go and have the food passed around."
Consciously quit and leave space to Shen Xingwan.
The fat cat who followed me along the way and ran off to play somewhere suddenly jumped out with a meow.
Shen Xingwan glared at him fiercely, "Useless scum system."
