Chapter 318: Drunk (6)
Jing Guansheng was about to get up when he saw Shen Qiu grabbing Shen Yuan on the side and shaking his head, saying, "Azhi, take me there."
Shen Yuan was stunned, and Shen Xin frowned: "This kid thinks you are Ah Zhi." Then he said to Shen Qiu: "Stinky boy, let go of your second brother quickly."
Shen Qiu did not move. Shen Yuan's eyes moved slightly, and he said: "My cousin and I are the same. In this case, I will take my brother back to his room." He helped Shen Qiu up and walked out without waiting for Shen Xin to refuse.
Just as Shen Xin was about to speak, Shen Wan came over with a glass of wine: “Brother, I toast you!”
…
No one paid much attention to the minor incidents at the banquet. It was common for people to come in and out during the banquet. It was only when the banquet was over and the ladies were chatting and relaxing in the courtyard that Mrs. Bai seemed to remember, "Why hasn't Miss Jing returned yet?"
After Jing Chuchu's clothes were soiled by the tea spilled by the maid, she went back to change. But she hasn't appeared since then. Old Madam Shen was stunned and said to Xi'er beside her, "Go find someone to ask why the cousin hasn't come yet?"
"Maybe she's a little drunk." Chen Yue smiled and said, "She just drank a lot of honey wine. Although it's very sweet, it has a strong aftertaste. My cousin likes sweet things, and I forgot to stop her just now. She might be feeling dizzy and resting in her room."
Xier responded and went out.
Feng An Ning curled her lips and quietly nudged Shen Miao: "I thought that since you have many daughters in your family, the family banquet would be very lively. I had to follow my mother, but now it seems that it is also very boring." Feng An Ning is the jewel in the crown of the Guanglu Xun family and does not have so many sisters. However, even though Shen Miao has so many sisters, she is not close to them and is even deliberately ignored. In Feng An Ning's eyes, it is just boring.
“It has always been like this.” Shen Miao replied.
Feng Anning looked around and said, "I'm going to the bathroom. Come back later. Wait for me."
After Feng Anning left with the maid, Xier returned to Old Madam Shen and shook her head, saying, "Madam, my cousin is not in the room."
"Not in the room?" Old Madam Shen raised her voice. All the ladies looked over at her. Old Madam Shen quickly lowered her voice and asked, "Then where is it?"
Xier shook her head: "The servants don't know either."
"This girl," Old Madam Shen said anxiously, "Could something have happened to her?"
Seeing her like this, the noble ladies who had become spirits naturally began to think about it.
"Madam?" Chen Ruoqiu happened to walk over from the other side. After asking what happened, she smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry. I just came back from the master's place. I think it's because Chuchu is drunk. Coincidentally, Qiu'er is also drunk and has been sent back to her room to rest. The alcohol at our family banquet was strong, and Chuchu might have gone to another room."
She intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the fact that "Chen Qiu was also drunk", and Shen Miao's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Old Madam Shen shook her head and said, "Go find a few people to look for Chuchu. She's in this mansion after all, but it wouldn't be good if she caught a cold." She looked at the crowd again and said, "Speaking of which, I recently acquired a golden Buddha painting, a double-sided embroidery by Zhang Qiaoxian. It's hanging in my main hall. If any of you would like to see it, I'd be happy to take you there."
Zhang Qiaoxian was a master of embroidery in Mingqi. Her embroidery was priceless. Hearing that Old Lady Shen had a pair, everyone wanted to see it. Shen Miao sneered. That double-sided embroidery was a gift from the palace, given to Old Lady Shen by Shen Xin a few years ago. But stingy as she was, she had never shown it to anyone. Now that it looked like this, she was willing to spend so much money, so it must be for something else.
But... can it really be as Madam Shen wishes?
The ladies were indeed very enthusiastic to follow Madam Shen to see the embroidery. The main hall of Rongjing Hall was a room similar to a teahouse for guests to relax. On weekdays, few people went there because Madam Shen didn't have many guests, so the teahouse was empty most of the time.
However, when Fang walked to the door, he saw something strange at the door.
There was some noise coming from the closed door. The sound could not be made out for the time being, but it seemed like something was knocked over.
Everyone stopped suddenly.
"Who's inside? Where is the gatekeeper outside?" asked Old Lady Shen.
"Madam, he was here before. There should be no one in the tea room." Xier asked in confusion.
"What a bunch of idlers! They can't even guard the door properly," Old Madam Shen said angrily, "Open the door!"
