Chapter 1590: The two women's entertainment, Shiying's expectations
Chapter 1590: Socializing with the Second Daughter, Shiying’s Expectations
Shen Tang and his party went straight to the government office. After chatting for a while, all the petty officials with insufficient grades left, leaving only a dozen officials from the government office in the hall.
Not long after, the dinner party started! This time, most of the people accompanying us were military attachés, and they drank vigorously! Although as Shen Tang, he didn’t have to drink until the glass was dry, he still drank a lot in the coming and going.
And right next door to them, Xiang Liang's wife was also entertaining the two of them.
Moreover, there were also some wives of other officials who came to accompany them, and there were as many as ten of them.
However, compared to the lively atmosphere in Shen Tang and others, it seems a lot quieter here.
After the banquet was over, Xiang Liang’s wife led a group of people to the back garden to drink tea and chat!
"We are here to trouble all the sisters! I have prepared a few small gifts for you sisters. It is also my sincere thought!"
Isha said with a smile and nodded slightly to Miao'er on the side.
This sentence is indeed correct. In comparison, the women accompanying the two daughters here are basically the family members of officials who accompanied the banquet in Shen Hall.
And those who are qualified to accompany Shen Tang for banquets are naturally quite old.
Their family members, even the old couple and the young couple, are all in their twenties and thirties.
Not long after, Miaoer led several maids in!
Isha and Ayi got up and divided the ornaments on the tray among the women. There were also some fine silks, so there was no need to bother carrying them here.
These things were not very expensive, but they were decent and suitable for their status. When the women accepted them, they were naturally happy.
"It is really fate that I met you sisters today. Ruoshui and sisters will go to Chengdu Mansion in the future, and we sisters will definitely welcome you!"
The two girls' well-behaved and polite manner also made everyone feel relieved. As Shen Tang, even if they were unruly concubines, they would still greet them with smiles and gritted teeth.
But now, look at him, he is not only outstanding in appearance, but also well-founded in his advancement and retreat. No wonder he is favored by Marquis Zhongwu.
The girls chatted for another half an hour, and then Madam Xiang Liang said, "It's hard work for the two sisters to come from far away. The house prepared is just to one side. I'll send the two sisters back to rest! I heard from my master, Mr. Shen I will also stay in Jiading Mansion for two or three days. If you two sisters don’t mind it, I will accompany you two sisters to go shopping in Jiading Mansion!”
“Although Jiading Prefecture is not as prosperous as Chengdu Prefecture, it is still quite scenic!”
"That's it, thank you sister!"
The two girls bowed, and then Isha turned to a maid and said, "Hanyu, take two or three maids and wait here. I think the master is happy today and will definitely drink a few more drinks."
After the master's banquet, you will come back with the master!"
The house that Xiang Liang arranged for Shen Tang was not very big, just a courtyard with three entrances from the front and back! However, the layout of this courtyard was extremely exquisite.
Shen Tang's personal guards had already come to guard the house, and there were also two maids sent in advance to tidy up the house! After seeing off Xiang Liang's wife, the two girls entered the room in the inner courtyard.
"call!"
Ayi breathed a sigh of relief, and her figure that was holding her head relaxed instantly!
Although she is usually naughty, she also knows how to behave appropriately.
Therefore, during this period of time just now, I behaved politely and did not dare to relax at all!
"Sister, this social gathering turns out to be so tiring!"
Ayi leaned on her sister and said coquettishly, "No wonder the master is always tired and always upright. It's no wonder he's not tired! However, although it is tiring, it is also really joyful."
Sister, look, who among the people who are having a banquet with you is not the wife of a high-ranking official?
Everyone is so polite to us, even a little respectful!"
Ayi chattered and shared her happiness with her sister. This was the first time she had experienced this kind of feeling.
pinching her sister's face hard, Isa scolded and said, "How dare you talk nonsense, sister? The status of these sisters is not comparable to that of our sisters. The reason for this is that the master has earned us the face.
Moreover, these sisters are polite to us because they respect their husbands."
"Their master's official position is not comparable to that of our master. It is impossible to say that they are respectful to us and have some plans or want to get something from him.
Therefore, when we are outside, we must be more cautious in our words and deeds than at home, and we must not forget our identity because of these things!"
"Good sister, sister knows! There are sisters taking care of you on both sides. I just don't see you and say it!"
Isa nodded her sister's forehead, and then said, "Let Miao'er prepare hot water. I'll tidy up the house until the master comes back later, so I can clean and rest quickly!"
The banquet between Shen Tang and others didn't end until after midnight. Even Shen Tang would have been half drunk even if the others didn't say anything. Moreover, it was naturally inappropriate to say anything on such an occasion.
Therefore, after the banquet, everyone dispersed.
The next morning, Shen Tang had just gotten up and washed up when he heard an announcement from the front yard, saying that Xiang Liang and Shi Ying had come to visit! Moreover, Xiang Liang's wife also came to invite Isa and Isha to go out.
Shen Tang accompanied the two girls to eat something simple and then went to the front hall!
"You have a good rest, sir!"
Xiang Liangxiao asked, and Shen Tang laughed loudly, "I can sleep well even in the military camp, let alone the house prepared for your Excellency?"
After chatting for a while, Shiying asked with bright eyes, "Hey, Mr. Marquis, when you come here this time, are we going to send troops to the north?"
Since arriving in Chengdu, the troops under his command have become stronger and stronger day by day, and the combat power of his soldiers is unmatched before.
It's a pity that except for the pacification of southern Xinjiang and the battle with Shen Tang, he has been idle in the past two years! Not only is he uncomfortable with holding back, but which son in the army doesn't want to perform meritorious service on the battlefield?
In addition, during the last war between Song and Jin, his troops had no chance to fight! If it weren't for his high prestige, his brothers would have almost rebelled.
This time when Shen Tang came, he naturally couldn't bear it any longer.
"Why send troops to go north?"
Shen Tang asked with a smile!
"you still need to ask!"
Shiying looked proud, "The Marquis was ordered to talk to Dang Xiang Manzi. If it wasn't to join forces to send troops to the Kingdom of Jin, what else could it be for?
Now, since your Excellency has finished talking, is it time to send out troops?"
When Shen Tang heard this, he couldn't help laughing loudly.
Then, he glanced at Shi Ying jokingly, and then said calmly, "Yes, I have decided that one hundred thousand troops will march northward into the Kingdom of Jin, and have already reported it to the officials.
Come to think of it, the officials will also agree to this."
"However, this time we don't need the troops under your command Ying Shiying! There are several other troops and horses, plus the two troops from Lizhou, which is enough! If it doesn't work, you can also dispatch a few troops from Tongchuanfu Road
