Full level Black Heart Lotus, reborn to bully scumbags every day!

Qin Xuerong smiled warmly and said in a friendly manner, "My mother was ill a while ago, and Sister Yu has a deep relationship with the old lady, so she stayed there to take care of her."

Hearing this, Madam Wang's smile became even more genuine: "Yu Jie'er is so filial. I don't know which family is so blessed to have such a good child."

Qin Xuerong was not afraid that Tutor Wang and his wife would have a better impression of Shen Jingyu. After all, after today, they would never have the face to ask to marry Yu Jie'er again.

"You and I are still talking about these. I think you are the blessed one. Your home is quiet and your brother Xiao is considerate and understanding. You just need to enjoy yourself in the future." Qin Xuerong spoke in a gentle voice, praising both Wang Xiao and the Wang family.

After hearing these words, Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, and she felt that the Shen family also had the intention of marrying into the family.

Shen Shuyi sat not far from Qin Xuerong, with only Shen Jingzhen between them.

Qin Xuerong seemed to remember something, and immediately introduced her to Madam Wang: "Speaking of which, you may not have seen our second daughter. She was in poor health when she was young, and was taken care of in the Jade Buddha Temple for many years. Fortunately, she was blessed by the Buddha."

After that, Qin Xuerong looked at Shen Shuyi and said, "Sister Yi, come quickly. This is the wife of Taifu Wang. Taifu Wang is the teacher of all the princes, and Madam Wang is also a role model for women in the capital. If you don't understand etiquette, calligraphy and painting in the future, you can ask Madam Wang for advice."

Shen Shuyi stood up and bowed to Mrs. Wang. After greeting her, Mrs. Wang also looked warm.

But it was obvious that she didn't know what Qin Xuerong was thinking, so she didn't think too much about it.

"The girls in your Shen family are all as beautiful as flowers. In two years, the number of people who come to your Shen family to seek marriage will be overwhelming."

Mrs. Wang smiled and joked, but Shen Shuyi's gaze fell on Yao Huiyan who was following Mrs. Wang.

Yao Huiyan winked at her gently, and Shen Shuyi couldn't help but smile.

Unexpectedly, the relatives that Sister Yao came to Beijing to seek refuge with were actually Master Wang’s family. It was really a coincidence.

After Shen Shuyi returned to her seat, Shen Jingzhen whispered to her, "Teacher Wang is very knowledgeable and is now highly valued by His Majesty. He has made great contributions to teaching the princes and has a promising future. The most valuable thing is that the Wang family's inner house is quiet and Madam Wang has a gentle temper. I don't know which girl will marry into the Wang family and enjoy happiness in the future."

Seeing her frank and friendly appearance, Shen Shuyi also smiled and said, "If Third Sister is interested, you can ask mother to mediate. After all, mother is on good terms with Madam Wang..."

Before Shen Shuyi finished speaking, the smile on Shen Jingzhen's face froze a little.

This Shen Shuyi!!!

She obviously wanted to make her fall in love, but she didn't expect that she was so stupid as to think that she would fall in love with Wang Xiao, that playboy!

Shen Jingzhen was angry, but she didn't show it on her face: "The Wang family is of noble status and has been a noble family for generations. I'm afraid our Shen family can't match them."

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Sister, why do you have to belittle yourself? Sister, you are straightforward and lovely, and you have a beautiful appearance. How can you not be worthy of the Wang family?"

Shen Meiru listened from the side, looking at the two people's faces from time to time, but did not interrupt rashly.

However, Shen Qinghuan couldn't help laughing. She lowered her head slightly, covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and coughed twice.

Shen Jingzhen was very angry and felt that the more she explained, the worse it got. After a few inexplicable words, it seemed as if she wanted to marry into the Wang family.

Shen Jingzhen said seriously, "Second sister, don't say that. If it gets out, it will ruin my reputation."

Shen Shuyi looked at her with clear eyes, puzzled: "But wasn't it Third Sister who said this first?"

Shen Jingzhen was so exhausted that she almost got internal injuries.

Shen Meiru on the side said quickly: "Second sister misunderstood. Third sister just thought that the Wang family was a scholarly family with a simple and quiet home. Thinking that second sister had just returned from the Buddhist temple and didn't understand the situation in Beijing, she kindly explained it to her."

Shen Shuyi understood: "So that's how it is. But there's no need to be envious, Third Sister. We have many sisters in the Shen family, and we are very close and happy. Others should envy us."

Shen Jingzhen forced a smile, just wanting to end the topic as soon as possible.

At this moment, the chrysanthemum viewing banquet has officially begun.

Maids and servants filed in, holding trays filled with intoxicating delicacies and fine wines. Strings and bamboo instruments rang out, and slender dancers swayed gracefully as they began to dance in the open space in the middle of the venue.

Shen Shuyi pretended not to notice Shen Jingzhen's pale face and glanced over the sachet around her waist.

She withdrew her gaze and met Zhao Baokun who was standing next to the male guests. Zhao Baokun nodded slightly to her, indicating that he had succeeded.

Seeing this, Shen Shuyi's smile deepened, and he felt that the pastries from Prince Duan's Mansion tasted really good.

After three rounds of drinks, in addition to singing and dancing to liven up the atmosphere, Prince Duan also selected two guards to dance with swords to entertain the guests. The atmosphere was immediately very lively and the guests completely let go.

Prince Duan picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "I know that all the people here today are talented scholars and beautiful women. Why don't we take advantage of the autumn weather to recite poems to liven up the atmosphere? I will offer a lucky gift to my father."

After saying this, Prince Duan clapped his hands, and his maidservant immediately came forward with a tray.

On the tray is a luxurious and exquisite jade tree, with a black jade stem and red gold branches. The crystal clear jade is carved into the shape of leaves and wrapped around the branches with gold threads, which is extremely gorgeous.

"We have three rounds in total. The first round is for men only, the second round is for women only, and the third round is not limited by gender."

As soon as these words were spoken, cheers rang out from all around.

Then, Prince Duan said again: "My father, the Prime Minister, the Royal Tutor, Minister Xie, Princess Zhaohe and others are all here today, so I will ask them to comment on it for me."

Shen Jingchuan's eyes fell on Shen Jing'an, his gaze full of expectation, and he whispered: "Although it's just entertainment, you still have to perform well. Today, the prince and the prime minister are here. If you perform well, your future will be limitless."

Chai Bin, who was standing not far away, didn't hear Shen Jingchuan's words completely, but still said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry. Brother Shen is a very talented writer. Who in the capital doesn't know Brother Shen's talent? He will definitely win the first prize this time!"

Chai Zhi also smiled and said, "My son is not good at this. He only knows how to fight and kill. This round depends on Brother Shen."

Facing the Chai family's overtures, Shen Jingchuan's smile became more genuine, and he said modestly, "My child is naughty and unworthy of such a noble family. I'm afraid I'll make you laugh at me."

Not long after, Prince Duan had prepared the venue.

Shen Shuyi raised his eyes and saw the young man in navy blue brocade clothes among the seven judges.

Perhaps it was because he was too young that he seemed out of place sitting between the middle-aged Taifu Wang and the white-haired Prime Minister Wu.

But even so, the man did not feel uncomfortable at all. On that cold face, there was a hint of smile at the corners of his lips, but his narrow eyes were deep and unfathomable.
