On the fifteenth day of every lunar month, there is a family banquet in Dongning Bo's house.
During the family banquet, everyone in the family dines in one place, and even the aunts and concubines of the family will come here. Although the aunts and concubines are not the master and are not qualified to serve the meal, they still have to serve the dishes. .
Although the family members were all attending the family banquet, Dong Ningbo Mansion was not a small family. On such an occasion, one had to pay attention to their manners. Therefore, Shen Fengxu took a shower and changed clothes early in the morning, waiting for the family banquet later.
Chensha is combing Chenfeng Xu's silk-like hair. She holds the jade grate in her hand, and her movements are gentle and slow, like the spring breeze blowing through her hair.
Chen Fengxu straightened the broken hair on his temples and said, "Speaking of which, I may not have seen my eldest brother and second brother for a long time."
It has been nearly a month since Shen Fengxu woke up, but he has not seen everyone in Dongningbo's house. Firstly, Shen Fengxu was not favored in the past and was dispensable in the house. Secondly, She is always in the inner courtyard and rarely goes out.
Chen Sha whispered softly: "At the family banquet later, the girl will naturally meet the eldest and second young masters."
"Yes." Shen Fengxu nodded slightly, "Have you explained everything clearly to Hua Qing?"
"Yes, Hua Qing and Qing Ya are both very smart people, so they naturally understand." Chensha said, paused for a moment, and then continued, "Girl... do you really trust them?"
Chen Fengxu turned his head, stroked the jade pendant beside his ear, and asked, "Why do you say that suddenly?"
Chensha is the most attentive person. Since she said this, she naturally has her own thoughts.
However, Chensha shook his head and just said: "No, I just think that the two of them are too smart. But they are so smart and extraordinary, but they are coerced by the fourth girl. It is a bit... difficult to understand."
It’s okay for Hua Qing, after all, she was coerced by Shen Yuxiang.
But what about the green buds?
This matter clearly has nothing to do with Qingya. She is not under coercion and is not in Shen Yuxiang's hands, so why bother to take a trip into troubled waters? Even if it happens, she may not get any benefits, but once the incident comes to light, she will definitely die without a burial. land.
"And..." Chensha continued, "Since they can help the girl plot against the fourth girl, who knows if they will bite her back? We need to be more careful."
However, Chen Fengxu just smiled, turned to look at Chen Sha, and said, "Your cautious temperament is really endearing."
Chensha lowered her head: "Young lady is so complimentary."
"But there are not only conspiracies and calculations in this world, but also worldly relationships." Shen Fengxu smiled lightly, "Shen Yuxiang used Hua Yan to threaten Hua Qing. Even if Hua Qing was willing to help Shen Yuxiang, it was because of helplessness. After weighing the two, it should be Hua Qing must know who to help."
As for the green sprouts...
The two of them are not blood relatives, but Qingya is willing to go through fire and water for Hua Qing. Such deep sisterly love makes Shen Fengxu a little moved. She is used to seeing the world's cold eyes and calculations. Even brothers and sisters of the same mother can be jealous. They fall out, but they don't expect that Hua Qing and Qing Ya have such a deep relationship that they cannot separate even if their lives are threatened.
"My maid understands." Chensha said softly.
Just as he was talking, Dan Sha ran in from the door in a hurry and said in a loud voice: "Girl, everyone is almost here, we should go!"
"Okay." Chen Fengxu nodded, then stood up and said, "Then let's go."
…
Ninghetang.
In the past, family banquets were held in the courtyard, but today, probably because of the gloomy weather, the banquet was held indoors.
Under the red lantern, there was a maidservant standing at the door. The courtyard was empty and deserted.
"Sixth Miss is here." The maid was leaning by the door. When she saw Shen Fengxu coming, she quickly stood up and said, "Miss, hurry in. The Master and Madam are already here."
Shen Fengxu seemed to ask casually: "Is eldest sister here?"
"Not yet." The maid replied respectfully, "The eldest lady came a little late today, but she should arrive soon."
Chen Fengxu nodded and walked into Ninghe Hall without asking any more questions.
At this time, everyone in the mansion was already present except Shen Yulou.
The person sitting on the main seat was the old lady, and below them were the two brothers Shen Yanning and Shen Yanping. The eldest lady and the second lady also sat on each side, chatting with the old lady. It was a harmonious and warm scene of the family.
Standing next to the eldest lady are two beautiful ladies who are as beautiful as flowers and jade. They are Shen Yanning's two concubines, Aunt Yun and Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Yun has a delicate and pretty face, and she is standing on one side with her eyebrows lowered, very humble and respectful, while Aunt Zhao is wearing a light green silk skirt, with a silver hairpin inserted sideways into her bun, which makes her charming eyebrows and charming figure even more charming. Soft and not full when held, it shows the beauty and passion.
The eldest lady's eyes glanced at Aunt Zhao from time to time, her eyes were quite sharp.
Aunt Zhao never noticed.
However, Shen Yanning was quite pleased with her careful dressing this time.
Beside the second lady, there was also Aunt Su standing beside her.
Seeing Shen Fengxu walking in, a young man smiled and said, "Sixth Sister is finally here."
Chen Fengxu first bowed and bowed, then stood up, turned to look at the young man, and smiled back: "It's been a long time since I last saw my second brother."
He is Shen Cang, the second son of the second wife. Although he is naughty by nature, he still has a pure conscience.
The other young man beside Shen Cang was the eldest son Shen Qing, the eldest son of Uncle Dong Ning's family. But unlike Shen Cang, he only glanced at Shen Fengxu lightly and had no intention of greeting him.
"Feng Xu, come and sit down." The eldest lady waved to Shen Fengxu with a gentle smile, showing the demeanor of everyone's mistress.
Shen Fengxu stepped forward and sat next to Shen Yuxiang without hesitation.
Shen Yuxiang suddenly felt confused, but because the old lady and Shen Yanning were both here, Shen Yuxiang could not get angry, but secretly sneered in her heart.
Soon it will be Shen Fengxu’s death!
Everyone has arrived, but Shen Yulou has been missing.
Shen Yanning couldn't help frowning and asked: "Where are the people from Yulou? Why haven't you come yet? How can you let the old lady wait here? How can you behave like this!"
"That's all." The old lady waved her hand, "Maybe it was delayed."
The old lady loved and felt sorry for Shen Yulou the most, so she didn't want to care about it.
"On the way back from the academy today, my eldest sister accidentally got her clothes stained. She is probably still changing her clothes now." Shen Baitang shook his head slightly, "Eldest sister should be here soon."
As soon as Shen Baitang finished speaking, a jade-like figure hurried in from outside the door.
The visitor carried the scent of the wind, and his voice was clear and gentle, like the spring breeze blowing on the face, blowing straight into people's hearts: "Jade Tower is late! I hope my grandmother will forgive me."
It is the eldest girl Shen Yulou.
Seeing Shen Yulou again, Shen Fengxu's eyes still fell on her, never blinking.
Shen Yulou probably noticed Shen Fengxu's gaze, so he also looked at her with a friendly and gentle smile.
