Chapter 96 Prince Duan's Mansion
Shen Meiru smiled and said, "I just saw that the scent bag of Second Sister is really exquisite, and I somehow felt that the same thing would look extraordinary when worn by Second Sister."
Shen Shuyi smiled and looked at her.
Shen Meiru was wearing a light pink skirt today, and the sachet around her waist was crimson in color, embroidered with gorgeous crabapple flowers, which was like the finishing touch and made her look particularly outstanding.
"Fifth sister's sachet is not inferior either. I liked it very much when I saw it yesterday, but I was afraid that I couldn't handle such a gorgeous color. Now I see it on Fifth sister, it really complements the other."
Shen Shuyi spoke in a gentle voice, and his words only made Shen Meiru's face look more shy.
Shen Shuyi said again: "I saw that there seemed to be pearls sewn on the fifth sister's sachet, and she said it was not Aunt Wu's preference?"
Shen Meiru immediately lowered her head and took the sachet down, with a little more excitement in her eyes: "The headpiece my mother gave me has a lot of pearls on it. Yesterday I suddenly thought, why not add a few pearls to the sachet as well? Second sister, do you think it looks good?"
Shen Shuyi reached out to take it, and calmly identified the stitches on it.
Although her embroidery skills are not outstanding, she is not completely ignorant. Aunt Wu's embroidery skills are indeed exceptionally good. She carefully examined the sachets yesterday.
Looking at it now, although the embroidery thread and material are almost exactly the same as yesterday's sachet, if you look carefully, you can still see that the position of the crabapple flowers has a slight deviation from yesterday's sachet.
Shen Shuyi's fingertips gently stroked the pearls on it and could smell the faint fragrance emanating from Shen Meiru's sachet.
It was different from his own, but most importantly, the slightest hint of coolness mixed with the fragrance yesterday was gone.
Shen Shuyi curled her lips and returned the sachet to Shen Meiru: "Fifth sister is very thoughtful. With the pearl embellishment, this sachet is not only elegant, but also reflects dazzling light in the sun."
The group chatted along the way, and even though they had different thoughts, they quickly became familiar with each other.
Shen Shuyi confirmed his guess and had already made a plan in mind.
Not long after, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of Prince Duan's Mansion.
The Shen family got off the car one after another.
Looking up, the gate of Prince Duan's Mansion is magnificent. The vermilion lacquered mahogany door is opened as wide as possible to welcome guests. On the red gold plaque, the big characters "Prince Duan's Mansion" are imposing.
On both sides of the gate, there are two white jade lions nearly eight feet tall, which are translucent and reflect a bright luster in the sunlight.
At this moment, there was a lot of traffic in front of the palace. Luxurious carriages were crowded together. Young ladies and women in gorgeous clothes, as well as masters and talented men in luxurious and stylish clothes were everywhere.
Such a lively scene makes people feel that the place is crowded with people, just like the New Year festival.
Many people couldn't help but stop to watch, but because there were guards watching, the people were all far away. But even so, they couldn't stop the eagerness in their eyes.
The servants and guards of the palace were directing the carriages and horses while checking the invitations and welcoming the guests into the palace.
Shen Jingchuan and Qin Xuerong, with everyone from the Shen Mansion, were not in a hurry. After exchanging greetings with a few close colleagues for a while, the housekeeper of the palace hurried forward to greet them.
"Sir Shen, Madam Shen! Come on, please come in. The prince has already prepared a banquet and is waiting for you to come."
Shen Jingchuan bowed and smiled, "It is a rare and elegant event for the prince to hold a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. As long as the prince does not mind, we will naturally join in the fun."
Led by the servant, the Shen family's group walked into the gate of the palace in a mighty procession. Coincidentally, the Shen family and the Chai family arrived at about the same time.
Shen Jingchuan and Chai Zhi were both in the Sixth Department, so the two families naturally traveled together.
"I guess this must be my nephew. It's true that a good father will have a good son. He has inherited Brother Chai's spirit and is handsome, elegant and a well-mannered man." Shen Jingchuan said with a smile, his eyes falling on the young man following Chai Zhi.
This young man was none other than Chai Bin.
Chai Bin often followed the Third Prince, so Shen Jingchuan had naturally seen him before. Now that they met again, it was obvious that he was trying to make friends.
After all, although Chai Zhi's official position is slightly lower than his, holding the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, the Chai family is, after all, a new noble family.
The most important thing is that there is some dirty work between his family and the Third Prince, and Chai Bin is a favorite of the Third Prince. If he can make friends with him, he can always say a few good words for the Shen family in front of the Third Prince and eliminate some grudges.
Chai Zhineng, who had returned from a frontier general to the center of the imperial court, was naturally a man of great sophistication. He immediately said, "He is just a reckless man! How can he compare to my nephew Jing'an, who is extremely talented and has the wisdom of a top scholar!"
The two of them worked hard to flatter each other, Qin Xuerong and Zhang also joined Mrs. Chai, and for a while, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Chai Bin's eyes fell on Shen Jing'an's face and he cupped his hands: "I've heard of Brother Shen's name for a long time, but unfortunately I've never had the chance to meet him. Now that I see him today, I realize that Brother Shen is indeed a man of great bearing and a leader among our generation!"
Shen Jingan smiled warmly, and acted like a modest gentleman, upright and honest: "Brother Chai is the one I can rely on the most. I only know some writing skills, how can I compare to Brother Chai's superb martial arts and killing enemies in battle."
Chai Bin said with a smile: "Brother Shen, why are you being so modest? I heard earlier that you also know some martial arts. I will definitely learn from you if I have the chance!"
Shen Jing'an thought that he was just being polite and agreed immediately, completely unaware of the vicious look in Chai Bin's eyes.
*
As female relatives, Shen Shuyi and Shen Qinghuan naturally followed behind Qin Xuerong and Zhang's group.
Shen Shuyi looked at Chai Bin, who quickly became friends with Shen Jingan in just a moment, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
"Second sister, yesterday my aunt heard that you liked her craftsmanship, so she used extra material to embroider another sachet for you overnight. I hope you don't dislike it."
Shen Qinghuan and Shen Shuyi walked at the end, and Shen Qinghuan quietly handed a goose yellow sachet to Shen Shuyi without making a sound.
Shen Shuyi put the one he wanted to take into his sleeve and pretended to be surprised: "I was just sighing, but I didn't expect to cause trouble to my aunt. I really feel sorry."
Shen Qinghuan smiled and said, "Auntie is willing to put in the effort, but people in the mansion may not really like it. Now that Second Sister likes it, Auntie is naturally happy."
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "Please trouble Fourth Sister to thank Auntie for me. If I have the chance after returning home, I will definitely go to visit her."
Shen Qinghuan agreed with a smile, but there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes when he looked at Shen Shuyi.
Last night, after the aunt gave sachets and handkerchiefs to the young ladies in each courtyard, they all sent their servants to express their gratitude.
Shen Shuyi sent Yuping. Because she had to thank Old Madam Shen, Qin Xuerong and Zhang first, it was already late when Yuping went to thank Aunt Wu, but she happened to be there too.
Aunt Wu invited the person in and said with a smile, "It's not a valuable thing, so there's no need to be so polite, Miss."
