Chang’an’s First Beauty

Chapter 98

Shen Zhen received an invitation.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, Xu Hou suddenly changed the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet that was supposed to be held in Qujiang Furong Garden into a polo match.

The chrysanthemum banquet is nothing more. After all, Xu Hou invites his wife to visit Qujiang on the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, but suddenly it is changed to a polo match, which makes people think about it…

Princess Fu’an has a beloved daughter who has not yet been married, and is also the lord of County Kangning.

At the beginning of last month, Princess Fu’an was discussing the marriage of Kang Ning and Xu Wei with the Xu family. Unexpectedly, Xu Wei was suddenly beaten and disabled, and his life was gone. There is not much difference between the death of the root of life and the loss of life. In a blink of an eye, the marriage between the two families fell through.

This polo game was nothing more than showing the county horse to the chief of Corning in a disguised form.

The Ying window was blown open by a gust of wind, and the invitation in Shen Zhen’s hand soared into the air, then made a circle and fell to the ground.

For this feast, the families of officials above the sixth rank were all invited, and Shen Wenqi, who had just been appointed as the chief governor of the fourth rank.

Therefore, Shen Zhen is also among them.

Qingxi frowned and said, “Whether it is a chrysanthemum feast or a polo match, the girl can’t go! The big son Xu will have a grudge against you if you are out of that stall. If you add in the county lord Kangning and the Fu’an chief Princess, I still don’t know what is going to happen.”

The autumn wind held up the veil in the room, and was suddenly bleak.

Shen Zhen frowned.

What Qingxi said, she didn’t know.

Although the case of Xu Wei’s attack at night was over, the wounding “drunk” was also hanged, but the whole length was safe. Who doesn’t know the twists and turns inside?

To find a half-crazy drunk to come out and commit the crime, Xu Wei’s plan was to get it for nothing.

The most widely circulated saying is: The old man from the Xu family fell in love with the third girl in the Shen family, but he couldn’t ask for it, so he moved his hand and provoked General Su’s anger.

Shen Zhen’s appearance in front of Xu’s family at this time is no different from embarrassing the door.

“Otherwise… the girl pretends to be sick.” Qingxi said.

Shen Zhen shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: “How smart Xu is, pretending to be sick is definitely not good, Qingxi, go and buy me two crabs.”

Hearing this, Qingxi was stunned.

She knew that Shen Zhen was allergic to crabs.

But even so, Shen Zhen still didn’t hide the polo match, for no reason. After Xu heard that Shen Zhen was ill, he sent the emperor to visit Shen’s house in person.

The good name is: Lord Shen works hard outside, and it is her job to take care of Shen Zhen.

I have to say that the medical skills of this imperial physician’s office really vary from person to person. The prince’s illness has not been cured for several years, but Shen Zhen does not have a rash that can’t be cured, and he recovered within three days.

Shen Zhen looked at his white and smooth arms and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Since he couldn’t hide, he could only move forward.

The next morning, Qingxi stood behind Shen Zhen and arranged her hair accessories in front of a bronze mirror. “How does the girl think of this gold-inlaid jade hairpin? The style is not complicated, and it looks exquisite.”

Shen Zhen shook his head and said, “I want the most common one.”

Recently, Dajin suffered a series of disasters, not to mention the plague in Luoyang, just say that the Yellow River burst its banks this time. Thousands of houses were washed away by the river, and the fertile fields were so damaged that they could not be cultivated next year. The people were displaced and cried out of nowhere. The court could only open warehouses for food, and then sent troops to difficult places to build some temporary huts to shelter from the wind. cold.

The money and grain and 30,000 soldiers and horses that Shen Wenqi took away have already hurt the national treasury.

Wearing gold and silver at this time is bound to be pointed out.

“The girl is still thoughtful.” Qingxi said.

Shen Zhen pinned a silver needle into his sleeve and stepped onto the carriage.

——

The autumn wind grows the Wei River, and the fallen leaves are full of Chang’an.

On the banks of the Qujiang River on August 15th, the beauty is like a scroll falling from the sky.

It is said that the laws of the Jin Dynasty are much easier than the previous ones. For example, the number of days of rest.

During the spring, winter solstice, and Qingming, there will be a day off for seven days, the Mid-Autumn Festival and the summer solstice will be off for three days, and the Lantern Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Double Ninth Festival and other major festivals will have another day off.

This doesn’t–

The pavilions on the grasslands by the banks of the river were full of people early on, and the officials who worked **** weekdays also changed into regular clothes.

On the man’s side, some people began to sing, chanting poems and composing verses early on; there were also some people wearing hufu, wearing a scorpion head, turning on their horses.

On the young women’s side, most of them were laughing and joking in groups.

From time to time, he covered his face with a fan, and went to see the handsome and mighty man in the audience.

Wang Yu squeezed a grape and put it in his mouth, and muttered casually: “How can there be so little seasonal fruit in this banquet?”

Xu Yiqing frowned and said, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Qingqing, why am I talking nonsense?!” Wang Yu said in a low voice, “I couldn’t finish eating the grapes in the past few years. Look at today.”

Xu Yiqing narrowed his eyes and whispered: “You have to know when this is, catching up with the flood right now, the expenses in the palace are all shrinking, and the empress is taking the lead and even abandoning the golden hairpin. It would be nice if you can have grapes to eat! How dare you choose?”

Wang Yuan covered his mouth.

As he was talking here, a few beautiful beauties walked not far away.

There was only one person, dazzling in white.

Shen Zhen is dressed in a turquoise satin-faced Bixia Luo robes and holds a peony tulle fan. She is tender and charming with words. The skirt that hung down to the ankle danced lightly with an unhurried pace.

The hair that does not contain any Chinese objects is as dazzling as a pearl under the sunlight.

I really responded to that sentence, looking far away, it is as bright as the sun rising; when observing it forcibly, it is like a green wave.

After bypassing a few pavilions, Shen Zhen still heard criticism from around. Of course, this time there was more speculation and emotion mixed with sighs.

There was a whisper from the seat of the female family on the right: “Hey, it’s true that Feng Shui turns around. The daughter of a sinful minister turned out to be the daughter of a fourth-ranked member of the Korean Central Committee. Who could have thought of it?”

“You said, is there any relationship between the beating of Mr. Xu and her?”

“I heard… it was Chang Pinghou’s hand.”

A woman lowered her voice and said, “That was a disaster. Do you still remember her and Sun Mi?”

“But when it was in Jingzhao Mansion?”

“It was exactly that time, I heard…that day in Jingzhao Mansion, the lawyer Shen Zhen invited was the eldest son of the Chu family in Yangzhou, Chu Xun.”

As soon as the voice fell, someone faintly interrupted: “Who knows what kind of people the Chu family is in Yangzhou, who doesn’t have any special feelings, who would intervene?”

How low the pressure of the female family’s language is, the man’s interest is so high.

Sixteen-year-old Shen Zhen leaned on a pure face and an unbearable waist to make people feel pity and excitement.

Not to mention this more abundance but not yet out of the cabinet.

In the eyes of men, the third mother of the Shen family is like a fruit that has just ripened in autumn, waiting for the man to pick it.

Seeing the men on horseback attracted by Shen Zhen, the outspoken second lady of the Bai family couldn’t help but snorted coldly, “Shen Jiao has just arrived, and those who have become a family will follow. This time Shen Zhen is here, and some people can’t sit still. Up.”

To be honest, it’s not to blame for the popularity of Shen’s daughter.

Although there are many honorable children in Chang’an, they are outstanding and good-looking. They are nothing more than just a few people.

Changping Hou Suheng, Xuanping Hou Shizi Suiyu, as well as Sun Lun of the descendants of the Book of War, Xu Wei, the eldest son of the Xu family, and Chu Xun of the Chu family of Yangzhou…

In the eyes of the little lady in Chang’an, one of these men counts as one.

They are all laymen who have been bewitched by skins!

He actually folded one after another!

Really stubborn!

If it weren’t for Shen Jiao to marry low, Shen Yao went to make a marriage, I’m afraid that some people who like to compare will have to crush the veil.

“Girl, look at the maidservant, Mrs. Li is on the far right.” Miao Li said.

Shen Zhen nodded.

For this banquet, one person can only bring one handmaid, and because Qingxi can’t work hard, Shen Zhen brought Miao Li out.

However, before she reached the far right, she was stopped by a court lady.

“But the little lady from He Fang’s family?”

Shen Zhen paused, “Yes.”

“Please come with the servant, the empress is waiting for you.”

Shen Zhen took a deep breath.

She didn’t expect Xuhou to move so fast.

Shen Zhen walked to the middle of a row of pavilions in Furong Garden, bowed to the palace ladies and greeted the two eldest princesses, and finally greeted the host of Kangning.

She heard a soft snort.

“Your illness, is it better?” Empress Xu said.

It is true that the Xu family are all first-class acting actors, just like Xu later caring about people at this moment, so that people can’t see a hint of prestige.

In every gesture, even the smile from the corner of his eyes revealed his love for the junior.

“Thanks to Niang Niang, it’s better.” Shen Zhen said.

Empress Xu smiled, nodded, and said softly: “Your father is out to work for the great Jin. This palace is thinking about you. Your body is healed, and this palace is also at ease.”

Xu Hou put down the tea cup in his hand, took a sip, and then said: “Speaking of which, I haven’t seen you in this palace for a year. I heard that you went to Yangzhou to stay for a while, but I didn’t expect it to be out of town. It’s more beautiful than ever.”

“Queen Empress praised.” Shen Zhen nodded.

Xu Hou patted the position beside her, “Quickly, come here, and go to play polo with this palace.”

Shen Zhen smiled and should be.

He gritted his teeth and walked over.

She sat down beside Xu Empress, but not long after she sat there, Meng Zhaorong’s face suddenly changed on the back.

Meng Zhaorong is the daughter of the Meng family, Meng Suxi.

Her pupils shook slightly, and she turned her head to look at Shen Zhen.

She couldn’t forget the fragrance of Shen’s daughter!

Meng Suxi clenched her fists and whispered, “Sanniang’s sachet, can you take a look at me?”
