1044 The Prime Minister's House Banquet 1

Yuzhu entered Weilanju and saw Shen Qingxi reading a book in the warm pavilion. She said, "Miss, there is no big deal in Prince Cheng's Mansion. However, yesterday afternoon, someone asked the coachman in the mansion about Miss Second at the door."

Shen Qingxi's lips curled slightly, "Is it Chu Qi's person? Or Zhao Zilan's person?"

Yuzhu poured tea for Shen Qingxi and said, "It should be the third lady of the Zhao family."

The smile on Shen Qingxi's face suddenly became interesting and said lightly, "As expected, don't worry about it now."

Yuzhu also smiled, "Don't worry, Miss, I understand."

Shen Qingxi stopped talking after hearing this. Not long after, Yuzhu sent the New Year gift booklet. It was already mid-twelfth lunar month and the New Year was about to celebrate. It was the busiest time of the entire prime minister's mansion in the year. Shen Qingxi now had to be busy at this time.

After finishing all this, Shen Qingxi went to pay homage to the old lady again. Unexpectedly, Chen Huai was talking to the old lady in Zhishui. As soon as he saw Shen Qingxi coming, the two of them changed slightly. Shen Qingxi did not show his face, but he was wondering in his heart, what were these two people talking about?

Thinking of this, Chen Huai smiled and said, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Let's hold a banquet in our mansion before the New Year. At the end of the year, many officials who were released from abroad have returned to report their duties. Some colleagues have not been gathered for many years, and two princes have also come back. I want to invite them to have a gathering in the mansion."

Chen Huai is the face of a country, and his connections are naturally very wide. After Chen Huai said this, the old lady nodded repeatedly, "It should be." As she said that, she turned to Shen Qingxi, "Xi'er, you are ready to prepare for the New Year's banquet this year, but this banquet should be more attentive. For the first time, you have prepared such a big banquet. If you have any help, let Ah help you."

Shen Qingxi had even taken care of the six palaces in his previous life, let alone preparing a banquet in the mansion. Hearing this, he said, "Don't worry, grandma, I will do my best. If necessary, I will definitely speak to Mama Xu."

Chen Huai looked at Shen Qingxi for a moment, as if he was very satisfied, and said, "In terms of purchasing, if you have any needs, I told the butler that you would invite a few distinguished guests at this banquet, so you should be more generous, so don't be too petty."

Shen Qingxi didn't agree with it, but she was respectful on her face, "Don't worry, Father, I understand."

After saying this, Chen Huai seemed relieved. After saying a few more words, he went to the front yard study room. After Chen Huai left, Shen Qingxi asked the old lady, "Grandma, what were you talking to your father just now?"

The old lady said with a smile, "We are talking about you, you will be fifteen every New Year, and I don't know how many people come to ask for marriage."

Shen Qingxi was stunned and smiled bitterly, "Grandmother, I'm afraid this won't be..."

But the old lady said, "You don't know, two days ago, the old lady from General Zhenwu's house had asked someone to come and ask me."

Shen Qingxi was slightly surprised, "General Zhenwu?"

The old lady nodded, "The old lady from General Zhenwu's family has some old friendships with me, and I have come to ask me based on these old friendships."

"What did grandmother say?" Shen Qingxi asked hurriedly.

The old lady smiled and said, "I just told you that your father has his own idea, but I can't make the decision."
