Shen Nian's expression froze, and then he saw Eunuch Xu took out a gift list from his arms.
Xia Tian pursed her lips and tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth. She was almost amused by Eunuch Xu.
Can't this be taken out together?
Do you still have to take them out one by one?
Eunuch Xu was, after all, the chief steward of the Emperor. Amidst the indescribable expressions of the crowd, he calmly opened the gift list and began to read it in his unique slow and leisurely voice.
"To celebrate the full moon of Lord Shen and Madam Shen's eldest son, the Empress has specially gifted a gold necklace, a pair of jade bracelets, two dragon-patterned brocade robes, two sets of brocade quilts, a gold abacus, and a pair of enamel-painted fortune vases!"
This time, Eunuch Xu did not wait slowly for everyone to stand up before reading the rest.
Instead, he opened another one and continued reading.
Shen Nian didn't know what expression to use to deal with this matter at this moment. He could only kneel calmly and wait for Eunuch Xu to finish reading and call him to stand up before he stood up.
The others secretly looked up at Eunuch Xu's actions, and also knelt without daring to move.
Eunuch Xu glanced at the people kneeling on the ground and continued reading.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given Lord Shen and Madam Shen two silk cloaks, two sets of jade carvings, a rattle, two sets of the Four Treasures of the Study, a set of silver tableware, and a folding screen as a gift for their eldest son's full moon."
Shen Nian and Xia Tian kowtowed to express their gratitude!
Xia Tian thought that there should be no more gifts now, after all, all the important people in the palace had given gifts that could be given.
Unexpectedly, before she could react, Eunuch Xu continued singing.
"The Imperial Concubine congratulates Lord Shen and Madam Shen on the birth of their precious son. She has specially gifted them a silver longevity locket, a jade Buddha pendant, two embroidered bellybands, two silk capes, a set of sachet gift boxes, and a pair of round fans with calligraphy and painting."
Shen Nian and Xia Tian kowtowed again to express their gratitude!
Eunuch Xu finally finished reading. Seeing that Shen Nian and Xia Tian hadn't moved after Xie Wan'en, he smiled and extended his hand to help them up. "Master Shen, Madam Shen, please stand up!"
"Thank you, eunuch!" The two men thanked him before standing up.
When the others saw Shen Nian and his wife stand up, they also stood up.
Eunuch Xu handed the gift list to Shen Nian and then jokingly said, "Master Shen, don't you want us to share in the joy?"
Shen Nian glanced at Eunuch Xu, who also squinted his eyes and smiled at him. When the two looked at each other, he was sure that Eunuch Xu had done it on purpose.
Then he took them out slowly one by one.
"Eunuch Xu, you have come from afar and have worked hard. Please come in!" Shen Nian stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Xia Tian stepped aside and said, "Eunuch Xu, please come in!"
"Congratulations, Master Shen and Madam Shen." Eunuch Xu cupped his fists and smiled at the two of them. "It's a blessing for our family to be able to attend the young master's full moon banquet. We won't be polite then!"
"It is a great honor for our humble home to have Eunuch Xu here. Please come in!" Chen Nian invited Eunuch Xu into the house.
Xia Tian asked Butler Chen to take people to put away all the gifts first.
Cui's aunt-in-law quickly asked the kitchen staff to serve the dishes again.
Fortunately, we brought many chefs today and prepared a lot of vegetables. We were just worried that some guests would bring a large number of family members, or that some uninvited officials would come to congratulate us.
Otherwise, the dishes served today would be interrupted from time to time, and we can't let the guests eat cold dishes.
Although no one cares what you eat today!
Everyone was stunned by Lord Shen’s great grace.
"My goodness, some people say that Lord Shen is the emperor's confidant, but I don't agree.
I wondered why such a trusted minister was sent to Linzhou to clean up the mess. The news must be wrong.
I never thought that Lord Shen is not just the emperor's confidant, he is the confidant of the entire imperial court!"
Look at how powerful his background is!
The head of the Guo family whispered this to some people he had a good relationship with.
Although his family was in business, they were not without supporters. When Lord Shen first came to Linzhou, he sent people to the capital to inquire.
I thought it was an exaggeration, but it turned out to be an understatement.
In fact, what he didn't know was that the Empress Dowager, the Empress, the Crown Prince, and the Imperial Concubine were all doing this mainly for Xia Tian's sake.
"Who says it isn't?" The people around him echoed, "Since Lord Shen has been appreciated by so many nobles, his future is boundless!"
"Of course I'm telling you that!"
The people together nodded repeatedly!
This is all obvious!
Miss Bai Wan's great uncle, the head of the Bai family, also pricked up his ears to listen to other people's discussions and thoughts about them. After listening for a while, he was even more grateful for the decision he had made.
I didn’t dare to say that I wanted to get in touch with Lord Shen before, but I thought that at least I could become familiar with Lord Shen, so that I could talk to him if I had any problems in the future.
I didn’t expect that Lord Shen’s connections were so strong!
The head of the Bai family glanced at his family members and thought that he should pay more attention to his niece Bai Wan in the future.
If she hadn't accidentally established a relationship with Madam Shen, their Bai family would never have been able to get in front of Master Shen.
He was also thankful that after the Linzhou earthquake, his Bai family stepped forward immediately to donate food, supplies, and money, and also took the initiative to unite with other businesses in Sangluo City to contribute money and effort, so that Lord Shen would remember him.
Otherwise, he would not have received the invitation to the full moon banquet of Lord Shen’s eldest son.
I just don't know how this guy surnamed Guo got in?
It doesn’t matter how Guo got in.
Because of the arrival of Eunuch Xu, the banquet time has been extended by half.
