After the lively wedding ceremony, the Shen family received many invitations from their families, including flower-viewing banquets and theater banquets.
Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi still adhere to their previous decision, but this is also based on Shen Xingqi's personal wishes.
“You really don’t have any special ideas about life-long events?”
“I, I’m still young.”
“That’s okay, let’s not be in a hurry.”< br>
Seeing her blushing face, Cheng Xi decisively closed the invitation, "I will refuse these invitations for you."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Shen Xingqi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had put down a worry and relaxed completely. Seeing this in Cheng Xi's eyes made her quite dumbfounded.
This girl is really not in a hurry at all.
Shen Xingqi was really not in a hurry. She was still young when Cheng Xi was not married and had never considered this matter. However, after Cheng Xi married, her thoughts were greatly impacted and she slowly discovered that women It doesn’t have to be a marriage, but it is more important to live your life.
What's more, she is living a very fulfilling life now. The daily step-by-step practice of super powers will make her feel that the world is wider than before. If she is tired, she can still cook and embroider. I don't know how good her life is. A life I had never imagined before.
If you get married, will you have to live the same life as a housewife?
No, no, it’s too scary!
Shen Xingqi felt a cold wind blowing on her back. She took a sip of hot tea and quickly stood up and walked towards the training room, leaving only a breeze.
Cheng Xi: "?"

When a heavy snow falls again, the world welcomes another new year.
Emperor Dayan had long announced that the Hanlin Academy would give all officials a holiday. Shen Xingluo no longer got up early to have breakfast and was completely free. The Shen family's breakfast time was pushed back by an hour. On this day, Shen Xingqi rarely took Wang Shu to train, but stayed in the kitchen preparing various fried foods.
There was also the custom of eating fish during the New Year in the Yan Dynasty, and the imperial doctors had more than enough every year. However, the capital is not close to the sea. It is impossible to see lumpy hairtail on modern dining tables. Only crucian carp can be used. Carp and other river fish are used instead.
But for Cheng Xi, this is not difficult at all.
The small palm-sized fish are cleaned, marinated for a few hours, then wrapped in a layer of batter and fried in a pan. With the sound of "sting", the crispy aroma soon wafts out of the kitchen. Waves of fried aroma.
Su Zhan brought back a large piece of white and tender tofu when he went out. Cheng Xi simply added diced carrots and green onions, crushed them and fried them together into vegetarian meatballs.
Big stewed bones until tender, spicy lamb stick bones and scorpions, fresh fried beans, braised chicken, rice cakes, flower rolls.
The Shen family kitchen is full of flowers all day long Fragrant until the fiery red sunset gradually sets.
When the Shen family's courtyard was covered with festive Spring Festival couplets and window grilles, New Year's Eve also quietly arrived, and the alley became lively again, with children from the neighbors jumping around in new clothes and talking to each other. Nor does it stop.
"Sir, madam, the New Year's gifts from each house have been registered."
Butler Su Zhan worked for three days and finally finished handling the New Year's favors in Shen's house. .
Most of the gifts given by ordinary people were porcelain and ancient books, which were sent back at the same value as the registered annual gift. Only the Du Mansion and the Marquis of Wu'an, who got along well with the Shen family, gave fruit wine and cakes.
Shen Xingluo took the gift list and read it over, then put it down without paying much attention.
"Put it here, and we will do it according to this specification in the future."
"Yes."
Su Zhan nodded, "In addition, Mr. Cheng sent a letter from Hongwei Escort, saying that it will be ready tomorrow Entering Beijing, Fuguang is coming back too.”
