Chapter 283 The relationship between everyone is a little subtle
On the day of the housewarming party, Shen Heng got up before dawn.
In the courtyard, Madam Feng was lecturing the servants: "From today on, everyone must call Madam Shen "Madam" and never call her that casually again. You must use the rules I taught you often. You must not be disrespectful in front of the nobles. Those who are disrespectful will be punished."
"yes."
Elsewhere, the eldest sister-in-law and Zhenzhu were counting and bringing over the dishes. "The two chefs from Binhonglou will be here soon, and I'm relieved. Zhenzhu, let's learn some skills from them so we can come up with some new dishes in the future."
"My lady's cooking skills are comparable to those of a great chef," said Zhenzhu.
"Not even close."
When Xie Jian came out of his room, he saw Ah Heng standing on the veranda, looking at everyone. She said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, your sister-in-law, and Aunt Feng today."
"You can ask the servants of the Meng family to come and help. Yun Zhao has also sent her five first-class maids. We don't have anything to worry about." Shen Heng smiled and said, "But Madam Feng, I'm afraid you'll be tired for a while after this banquet."
Such a big mansion would require dozens of servants, both inside and outside. After the banquet was over, they would have to hire servants or buy some from human traffickers. These people would all need to be trained by the nanny. Although she had learned a lot, she was still far behind the nanny.
"Didn't the treasury receive two stems of 10-year-old ginseng? Madam, you're getting old, so please be careful when it's time to take supplements."
Shen Heng nodded, she thought so too.
"Wu Jin is coming today, so we should be able to make it to the dinner party in time." Xie Jian said, "We haven't seen each other for a few months. He's been having fun outside and didn't even bother to come see us friends."
Chen Heng's eyes moved. The Ning Wang family was also on the list and would come to congratulate. Liu Zhiyue would definitely come. If Min Yuqing also came, the relationship between them would become a little subtle.
The sun is shining today.
At noon, many people came to congratulate them. Since the main meal was in the evening, Xie Jian and Shen Heng just responded perfunctorily at the door.
At 15:00, many high-ranking officials began to arrive.
"Xie Zhongshu, congratulations."
"Master Jin, please—"
"Xie Zhongshu, at such a young age, he has become the first Zhongshu Ling. His future is immeasurable."
"Master Shen, thank you for your praise. Please—"
Xie Jian saw Minister Qin getting off the carriage and stepped forward to greet him: "Master Qin, Madam Qin, please come in, please come in——"
"Zixuan, this mansion is well chosen. I'm envious of it." Minister Qin laughed and said, "If I had known that there was such a nice place in the mansion bestowed by the emperor, you wouldn't have chosen it."
"With Lord Qin's status, only the Qi family garden near the palace, which is comparable to the royal villa, is worthy of you." Xie Jian said meaningfully, "Would you like to go and see it in a few days?"
The Qi family, one of the five great families of the Dacong, fell in this battle for the throne. Minister Qin looked at the young man in front of him with satisfaction: "That is indeed a good place, hahahaha."
After sending the servants to bring Lord Qin and his wife in, Xie Jian's eyes flashed with sarcasm. After the new emperor ascended the throne, the court's signs of defeat had not changed at all. It was just that one group of people had been transferred to another, with layers of protection, and even those in power had become more aggressive than before.
"Lord Lu, you are here." Shen Heng saw Lu Ji'an and stepped forward to greet him. Well, the longer his beard grew, the more he looked at him. "Please come in, Liu Gang, lead the way, sir." She saw the Meng family's carriage out of the corner of her eye and hurried to greet it.
Lu Ji'an felt inexplicably ignored and smiled, wondering when he had become so childish. He shook his head and went in with a smile.
