Speaking of which, Shen Nanzhi always felt that it didn't matter if she ran the banquet, but it wasn't until she really started to do it that she realized that this was such a worrying thing.

The decoration of the house in those days, plus the dishes to be handled during the banquet, how to arrange the time and itinerary of the guests...... The most important thing is the issue of silver. Of course, the most important thing Lu Yunqi lacks is silver, not to mention that he himself is very good at working hard outside to make money, and the rewards above are also soft, plus his mother's Jiang family gave him the entire family property of the Duke's Palace, not to mention that he has a lot of money, but it is almost the same.

But Shen Nanzhi didn't want to be too extravagant and wasteful, making people feel that she was a very loser, but in the face of so many guests, the family had to take out some more money to decorate, she always couldn't make up her mind after thinking about it, and finally Lu Yunqi took the case: "I am a literati, the family should not be too extravagant, and you don't have to be afraid of being embarrassed, it's good to be simpler - anyway, the things in our house are the best everywhere." ”

Shen Nanzhi glanced at Lu Yunqi, but looked at the mahogany shelf in front of him, the gilded incense burner, the porcelain vase of the previous dynasty placed over there, and the calligraphy and painting of Emperor Mourning...... Well, she admits it!

The problem of the money is not a big problem, but there are side things. Shen Nanzhi's most important thing is to make a good living and regulate the subordinates in the house. Before, she had the softest heart, and never asked people too much, but now she has taken up all the rules little by little, and anyone who has made a mistake - if she can stop the loss in time, or if she has a good attitude, she can be spared, and if she makes mistakes again and again, she will not always be kept in Anyuan.

This strict system has been spread, and the people in the house have a lot of strict rules. Even Lu Yunqi couldn't help but praise a few times.

The weather gradually turned cooler, and Shen Nanzhi's busy feet hit the back of his head these days, and he finally handled the banquet properly. It's rare to have a break today, Shen Nanzhi was lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed, and Zhuyun, who went out to buy rouge gouache with Wang's mother, hurried back.

"Grandma!" Before she could get to the bottom of the porch, she shouted, and Curly Bi, who was fanning Shen Nanzhi on the side, glared at her, and scolded in a dumb voice: "What are you yelling about!" My aunt and grandmother were so tired that she just lay down! ”

"Ahh Sister Juan Bi, I didn't mean to. Only then did Zhuyun see that Shen Nanzhi was falling asleep gently, looking like she had done something wrong, she put the things in her hand aside, and then she suppressed her voice and said softly, "Oh, Sister Juan Bi, I went out with Mother Wang today, but I heard about something!" ”

"What's the matter?" Shen Nanzhi, who was originally asleep, suddenly opened his glasses and asked slowly.

Juan Bi was slightly stunned, and hurriedly leaned over to look at her, "Why did Grandma wake up?" You haven't slept yet. ”

Shen Nanzhi waved his hand, took the fan from Curly Bi's hand and slapped it lightly, there was no reproach in his eyes, "It's okay, I didn't sleep very deeply, what about Zhuyun?" Did you hear something big? ”

Only then did Zhu Yun dare to pull the little pestle on the side and sit down, she took a long breath and said, "Auntie, I heard that Wang Qianqian is also coming to our Anyuan for a banquet!" ”

"Wang Qianqian?" Shen Nanzhi raised his eyebrows. The relationship between herself and Wang Qianqian is extremely bad, and she is willing to "deign" to come to her home for a banquet?

I thought that the Wang family would just come to a Wang Ge Lao, and no matter how bad it was, there would be a Mrs. Wang, she had already prepared her words, and when the time came, all the etiquette was arranged thoughtfully, and she just ignored it, but if Wang Qianqian came...... Hiss, I don't know what will happen to her temperament.

Zhuyun nodded vigorously: "Hmm! We met the mother-in-law who went out to buy from the Wang family, and the mother-in-law and the mother-in-law were still old acquaintances, so they talked a few more words, and the mother-in-law said that the six girls of their family would also come, and she went out to buy fat powder for Wang Qianqian! It's just ......."

"What's this! Come on," Juan Bi on the side pouted, thinking that Zhuyun was too much of a fuss to shout for such a trivial matter, and there was a little disdain on his face, "She came here, and our family is not afraid to receive it!" I don't believe she dares to come to our house to make trouble! The second master is so protective of our aunt and grandmother, what are you afraid of! ”

"I'm not done yet!" Zhuyun also glared at her unceremoniously, "I also heard that Wang Qianqian has agreed with a scholar who has no family background!" ”

"Huh!?" At this time, Juan Bi exclaimed, incredulous, "She will talk about family affairs with someone who has no family background!?" Hiss...... Although she is not very good, but in the end, she also has a background there, and Wang Ge Lao is willing to do it? ”

In fact, not only Juan Bi, but even Shen Nanzhi was very shocked, Wang Qianqian was arrogant, and almost decided that she could become a princess, she was afraid that she didn't expect that she would end up marrying a scholar who didn't have a little family background.

"Of course I'm not going to talk nonsense! It's true, I heard that the latter student's results in the imperial examination this year are very good, and he is still Wang Gelao's proud protégé. Because of what was before...... Concubine An was very disgusted with Wang Qianqian, and people who knew some inside stories didn't dare to kiss her easily, Wang Ge Lao simply asked his own daughter to marry his protégé, and now everyone outside said how he Wang Ge Lao was so high-spirited! ”

What Zhu Yun said was really an oath, and in the end, he couldn't help but snort coldly, as if he looked down on this matter, "I heard that the marriage has been decided, and it will be done in the spring next year." ”

"Then what did that Wang Qianqian say?" Juan Bi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "People like Wang Qianqian keep shouting what they want to be princesses, what is the result?" Now it's not even a famous family! I'm afraid I'm going to be angry! ”

"I just heard from the mother-in-law of the Wang family, Mrs. Wang lost her temper for this matter and was sick in bed for many days! It's just that Wang Ge Lao was resolute, and in the end, the matter was decided. As for Wang Qianqian...... Zhuyun's eyes rolled and smiled, "How could she be willing!" But it can't be helped! has a bad reputation, and now that he has offended Concubine An, I am afraid that there is no other way except for this scholar! ”

With that, the two of them were already laughing. Shen Nanzhi also shook his head helplessly on the side.

From this point of view, Wang Qianqian is still willing to come to Anyuan for a banquet, I'm afraid she is really so angry that she loses her mind, right?
