Cheng Xi and Shen Xingqi had different senses than ordinary people, and they immediately noticed the uncomfortable sight.
The former's expression didn't change much after seeing Xie Zhi, but because the gaze was very obscure and not too aggressive, it made her feel a little more wary, no matter what plane she was in. In any age, people who express their emotions are never the most dangerous, and those with deep thoughts are more fearful.
Shen Xingqi knew nothing about others coveting her brother, and her face wrinkled slightly, somewhat unhappy.
"What happened to Miss Xie? Have we ever offended her?"
"." How to tell my sister-in-law that her existence itself is an offense?
Cheng Xi couldn't finish his words, and Song Yan next to him burst into laughter.
"Xiao Xingqi, you have to know that there is a kind of person in this world who always thinks differently than ordinary people. It's not your fault that you can't figure out what she thinks."
"Ah ?”
What does it mean?
Shen Xingqi has never understood the relationship between men and women. She just feels that Xie Zhi is a little confused. But one thing she can tell is that Song Yan and Qu Shaoya are very unhappy with Xie Zhi.
Could it be that she and her sister-in-law were implicated? This is the only explanation left.
Brother Qi’s full moon banquet started soon. The little boy, who was dressed as a lucky doll, was put into a circle by Mrs. Song on the soft ground. Various exquisite objects were placed inside. The guests Everyone gathered around to watch the fun.
Cheng Xi looked around and matched the faces and profiles on the information one by one. Today, in addition to the female family members, there were also several male guests, most of whom were close colleagues and friends of Song Tongpan.
"Brother Qi, take whatever you like. Go quickly."
The little protagonist seemed to understand Mrs. Song's words. He opened his big clear eyes and got up on all fours. Under the expectant eyes of everyone, they quickly caught sight of a simple inkstone and received a burst of cheers.
"Oh, our young master Song will definitely have great literary talents in the future!"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Song and Madam Song have taught you well."
Congratulations came from all around, Song Tongpan was very happy when he picked up his son in one hand. He weighed the weight in his hands and quickly and carefully handed it to Mrs. Song, and then started to entertain the guests.
The banquet began, Song Yan and Cheng Xi sat together, their eyes focused on nothing in the video.
This full moon banquet brought the female members of the Shen Zhuangyuan family into the public eye. Many female members of the fifth-rank official and below in the capital knew that Mrs. Shen was not as vulgar as the outside world rumored. Instead, she had outstanding temperament and beautiful appearance. Not to mention giving in too much, Cheng Xi became slightly popular.
In addition, there is also a group of people who have set their sights on Shen Xingqi. The little girl who is about to have hair extensions is already attractive at the age of Hua'er. In addition, her every move is gentle and gentle. Now many people know that the Shen family has She is an unmarried girl with excellent virtues.
So when Cheng Xi took Shen Xingqi to the second plum appreciation banquet, he once again received countless looks of shock or wonder.
Two people: "."
So the gossip in the entire capital is already so barren?
“Sister-in-law.” So scary~(╥╯^╰╥)~
"It's okay, just treat them like cabbages."
"Okay."
Shen Xingqi's originally somewhat uncomfortable heart was affected by Cheng Xi's calm mind, and she straightened up her small chest and immediately became The elegant and elegant lady once again received a wave of compliments for her slightly steady temperament.
The little girl is consummated. She has no idea that Cheng Xi is in trouble at this time. Shen Xingqi will have haircut by the end of the year. Because Shen Xingluo doesn’t want to marry off his sister so soon, so he doesn’t think about making a big deal. , when the time comes, the whole family will get together and invite a few friends to have a party.
However, judging from the current situation, this idea is definitely not feasible.
Although Shen Xingluo was a junior in the sixth rank of Hanlin, he was still in the eyes of the powerful people in the capital. If his sister and Ji Li only invited Qu Shaoya and a few other juniors to attend, they would definitely arouse criticism from the female family members, especially those in front of them.
So, the Shen family is probably going to send out invitations.
***
"Do all these people need to post?"
In the study room, Cheng Xi looked at the catalog in front of him and asked. It was a list of people's names and official positions. Most of them were from the Shen family's family who had received invitations recently.
Whether it comes or not is another matter.
"Yes."
Shen Xingluo seemed to see the black line on Cheng Xi's forehead that represented "boredom", "Su Zhan can just do these things, don't be too tired."
"That won't make you tired."
She really didn't take this matter to heart. No matter how hard Cheng Xi tried, she knew that this was a social necessity.
“Don’t you think there is something shortcoming in our family?”
“What?”
“My servant~”
Cheng Xi was speechless; "The small courtyard has two entrances. If we only send invitations to these people, it can be accommodated, but there are only a few of us who are not busy enough."
But they didn't want to add anyone else, which was the unanimous idea of the Shen family.
Shen Xingluo pondered for a moment and said, "There are many people in Zhuangzi. We can let them come over for a few days."
"What a good idea!"
My own people can definitely use it. , use it and leave, there is nothing better than this.
Cheng Xi slapped his forehead and said, "How could I forget my own farm?"
The two of them discussed it with Ji Li. In fact, hosting a banquet only requires the host to finalize the decision, and the housekeeper will do the rest. Su Zhan is undoubtedly the busiest one. As for writing invitations, Shen Xing will naturally do it. Here comes the male host.
Of course, he is in charge of the male guests.
As for the female family members, Cheng Xi took care of them directly.
So a few days after Laba, the mansions that had had contact with the Shen family received invitations one after another from Miss Shen’s family and Ji Li.
Cheng Xi carried two jars of fruit wine and several boxes of pastries to the gate of Du Mansion to meet Lin. She explained her intention to invite her to be a patron. The other party readily agreed and told the female family members in Beijing how to handle the banquet. Explain it carefully and it will benefit her a lot.
When Cheng Xi returned to the Shen family courtyard, her mind was filled with guest arrangements and banquet procedures.
“I didn’t expect that the hairpin ceremony is so complicated. I really learned a lesson today.”
This kind of ancient etiquette has basically been lost in modern times, and even if it has not been lost, it has been simplified. .
In her day, 90% of the weddings could be done by just calling the hotel and finding a master of ceremonies, but the host was only struggling with what kind of venue to go to.
Shen Xingluo: "Just leave it to Su Zhan, he knows better than you in this regard."
Cheng Xi: "."
I suspect you are looking down on me and I have proof.
"Forget it, forget it, we can't leave everything to Su Zhan, and we can't do this."
Isn't it just a hairpin gift? It doesn't matter. She can't!
Even if you argue for words, you have to do it neatly.
