Chapter 304 304. Shen Family
Cheng Xi sniffed the scent of wine lingering on the tip of her nose, "Have you been drinking?"
"Yes."
Body next to the voice A little more low-pitched and mute, "There are many people in Su Ting Pavilion, so I can't shirk it. I drank a few drinks."
"Master Shen killed everyone again today. I heard them all."
Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Cheng Xi put her hand on her chin and said jokingly, "There is only a narrow alley between the tea house and Su Pavilion. It just so happens that we are sitting by the window today."
Just open the second floor window. , they can see the excitement on the opposite side.
Although a few people did not push away due to ethics, the comments and exclamations next door could be clearly heard, and it was difficult not to understand.
Shen Xingluo: "."
Suddenly there was a feeling of what modern people call social death.
He sighed softly, picked up the ink block and helped her grind it, "Mrs. made me laugh."
"I'm just curious, being so high-spirited is not your style."
< br>"When a young man becomes famous, he has to be a little frivolous."
I understand, just to confuse everyone.
Cheng Xi understood clearly, "Everyone else is hiding their clumsiness, but it would be better for you to just kill everyone."
That's okay. A 19-year-old boy is already a arrogant and arrogant age. If he is too mature, he will attract more attention, especially the one who comes from the Millennium Fox.
What the two of them didn’t know was that the calligraphy treasures left by the students in Su Ting had been copied and divided into several parts and sent to various places such as the Imperial College and the Prime Minister’s Mansion. Except for the Imperial College, this examination It was also the first time that the foreign students who ranked high in the middle school came into the eyes of interested people.
At that time, Cheng Xi pushed the brush in front of him forward.
"You should write the invitations for Qin Zheng and the others, and I will help you polish the ink."
"Okay."
The two of them didn't know many people in Beijing, and even fewer could invite them as guests. Apart from the three or four classmates in Lin'an Mansion who got along well with each other, they were just a few peers from the family home.
A few minutes later, Shen Xingluo started writing, and next to the elegant invitation in small regular script, there were several posts with completely different styles of writing.
The next morning, Su Zhan and Wang Shu each took several invitations and sent them out respectively.
Two days passed by in a blink of an eye. Because Shen Xingluo was so brilliant at Su Ting, he stayed at home and read quietly, leaving many people in the capital wondering.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the Shen family's first formal banquet.
The alley where the second courtyard was located was very lively on this day. The flow of people had not stopped since the morning. Qin Zheng was the first to arrive taking advantage of the unique geographical advantage.
Cheng Xi believed that if it weren't for the high wall between the two courtyards, he might have been able to turn it over.
"Sister-in-law, what are you going to eat today?"
Qin Zheng said as he picked up the pastry on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, "Hmm - it's delicious, it's chestnut cake. !”
He had eaten this pastry in Shenjiacun before. It tasted soft and creamy, with a hint of sweetness.
"If it tastes good, eat more. As for what to eat for lunch, keep it secret."
Cheng Xi pushed the plate of pastries to him, "You are half the host, go and entertain the guests."
“Okay!”
Keep it secret, it seems to be more exciting.
Qin Zheng didn't care, and walked towards the front yard with the plate of pastries. Standing next to Shen Xingluo, he introduced the Shen family's small courtyard to everyone very familiarly, completely treating it as his own home. . Brother and sister Qu Shaojing and Jiang Yuyao came together. The Qin brothers and sisters came later, followed closely by Yu Heting, Wang Zhi and others. The male guests went to the front yard and living room to be received by the male host, while the female guests followed Cheng Xi and Shen Xingqi. Going to the backyard.
As for Yu Hefeng, little friend Yu Hefeng twisted her little body in his brother's arms and pulled her down since she saw Cheng Xi. The moment her legs landed on the ground, she ran over.
"Sister Xi, Sister Qiqi, Feng'er is here~"
Shen Xingqi caught the little cannonball running towards her and pinched his round little head with itchy hands. Cheeks.
Ah~ it feels so good, no wonder my sister-in-law likes to pinch herself sometimes, it turns out it is really addictive!
The little guy didn't mind being pinched, and he grinned with his millet teeth exposed, which made Qu Shaoya and the others next to him a little bit ready to make a move.
Yu Heting took a few steps forward, very helpless, "I have to trouble my younger siblings to take care of my younger brother again. Feng'er, you have to be good, you know?"
"I know, I know, Feng'er is still here. Can you help?”
Can you still help?
Is it a disservice?
Yu Heting didn't believe it, but Shen Xingqi hugged the chubby little guy and affirmed, "Feng'er is right, he is a good helper in the kitchen."
Okay, even the master doesn't dislike him. What can be said?
Yu Heting said hello and gave his younger brother a few words of advice, and then returned to the men's circle. Even though he was wearing the most ordinary gray clothes, he still stood out among the crowd.
Qin Nan looked at Feng'er curiously, but couldn't help but turn his gaze to Yu Heting.
"Is this Mr. Yu from Liuzhou? I heard from my brother that he ranked very high in the exams and was good at poetry."
"It's Young Master Yu."
Cheng Xi smiled meaningfully. This man has experienced severe beatings from society. Compared with those wealthy young men who have had no worries about food and clothing since childhood, he has more tenacity. At the same time, he was a little more upright and sunny than Shen Xingluo, a person who was brutally beaten.
Honestly speaking, these are the reserve cadres that the officialdom needs most.
However, with Shen Xingluo in front of me this year, the results in the palace examination may not be as good as in the previous life.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to sit in the yard.”
"Okay."
A few people followed the owner to the backyard.
The small courtyard at the second entrance is not big to begin with, but everything is cleaned and spotless. The utensils in the courtyard are scattered in an orderly manner, which is enough to show the owner's exquisiteness.
It was the first time for Qu Shaoya and the others to see such a small courtyard. Their expressions didn’t look strange at all. Song Yan had seen a small farmyard in Shenjiacun and didn’t think it was anything special. However, when a few people stepped into the backyard I was still shocked by the scene inside.
“Wow~ Is this a vegetable?”
As noble ladies in the capital, even if they don't have to work in the fields, they have seen how vegetables grow on Zhuangzi. They can plant as much land as there is in the ground. This is commonly known as grounding in the literal sense. This is deeply ingrained in their hearts. The ironclad truth.
However, this ironclad truth was broken today.
Vegetables of various colors grow lushly in the three-layered wooden trough. It can be seen that they have been carefully cared for. Five or six different vegetable types can be distinguished at a glance.
The wooden trough is filled with soil that everyone is familiar with, but the outer layer is washed clean. There is faint water flowing out of the sink under the wooden trough, following the slanted trough in the same direction. And go.
It can be said that everything is extremely familiar, but the combination is extremely strange.
Both Jiang Yuyao and Song Yan looked at each other in surprise.
"Xier, how did you come up with the idea of setting up wooden troughs for planting?"
