The servants standing outside the gilded mahogany gate are also outstanding. There are three men and three women, all of them are in high spirits and smiling.

Shen Ruobing only took one look at it and had to lament the strictness of the old man of the Gu family. Even this servant was carefully selected. There was no fault in his appearance. Even his face was soft and pleasant, and there was no etiquette. Talk.

Seeing this, she didn't dare to be vague, took out the invitation and handed it over.

A maid took it and after confirming the red seal on it, she led the person inside with a smile, "Mr. Shang, Mrs. Shang, please come inside."

Only then did the three of them step into the vermilion door that exuded a touch of sandalwood.

The maid seemed to know that they were the first to visit, and she introduced the layout of the house to them all the way.

"...This is the front yard. There are some flowers and plants that the old lady likes planted. Most of them are for viewing. The front hall is usually used for formal occasions to meet guests. Tonight is a family banquet, so the banquet is Everything is set up in the atrium..."

Shang Shaobai nodded slightly while listening carefully.

He knew that the introduction of this maid was modest.

The Gu family's front yard alone was designed and handled by a contemporary garden master, who was involved in the design of the National Museum. The flowers, plants and trees in front of him were all carefully arranged, one step at a time. A random plant may be priceless.

Including the Chinese-style corridor under their feet, the layout is already very clever, and the handrails are made of expensive rosewood.

When they almost reached the atrium, another servant came to greet them.

After passing through a corner gate and archway, we actually arrived at the place where the dinner was held.

My vision suddenly brightened up. There were tables and chairs arranged in an orderly manner in the huge garden. Carved pavilion lamps were lit in twos and threes next to them. Even the water lanterns in the lotus pond were lit, creating a luxurious scene.

Only then did Shen Ruobing realize that the ladies who came to the banquet were all very plainly dressed, with few pieces of jewelry on them. At most, they only wore a piece of jade. She was the only one who wore all the jewelry, and she felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

Fortunately, the presence of the servants did not make them feel embarrassed. After thoughtfully guiding them to their seats, another servant came over to bring tea and water, and even exchanged greetings with them.

Shang Shaobai sighed while sipping the top-quality snow-topped Longjing in his cup.

After all, it is the Gu family, and even the servants in the house know the rules and etiquette.

As time went by, there were more people in the garden. Shen Ruobing found a few familiar figures and immediately went forward to chat, but he did not dare to speak loudly, so that there was only noise in the busy yard. with a small voice.

So when a loud female voice sounded, almost everyone looked over subconsciously.

"Oh, the house is so lively today. I have never seen it except during the Chinese New Year."

Everyone frowned slightly, and just when they were thinking about who was so bold and ignorant of etiquette, they all shut up when they saw the people coming from the corner door.

It's Gu Qiang, then it's okay.

She was the daughter of Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu. After the death of Gu's eldest son, she became the only one in her generation. Naturally, her status was not comparable to others.

The other party has been running around in this garden since he was a child. The rules here can restrain them, but they cannot restrain Gu Qiang.

Gu Qiang, who returned to her ancestral home, was obviously even more arrogant than she was at the Jin family, and her gestures were full of the disdain and disdain of a superior.

Jin Siyue, who was standing next to her, naturally copied and pasted her mother's "demeanor".

Although he had calmed down a lot, as soon as he stepped into the garden, all the unruly energy in his body came out.

After turning his contemptuous eyes around everyone's faces, he became impatient.

"There are so many people. It's so annoying. Mom, I went to take a walk in the backyard."

Gu Qiang doted on this son the most. She was not angry at all when she heard this. Instead, she warned him gently: "Don't run around, and don't forget to start the banquet at the following hour."

"understood."

As soon as Jin Siyue left, the noble ladies started to fawn over him.

Gu Qiang has been accustomed to this since she was a child. She has always enjoyed people's adulation, and she naturally enjoys it.

Seeing this, Shen Ruobing also stood up holding the tea in her hand.

She finally came to Gu's house tonight, so she had to seize the opportunity to be polite to these people.

Maybe she can also give her Shao Jingxiang a legitimate daughter from a high family.

"Mrs. Jin takes good care of herself. She looks like she is in her early thirties."

Hearing the compliment, Gu Qiang narrowed her eyes and looked over, immediately glancing at the jewelry on Shen Ruobing's body.

——It's just some high-end luxury customization from some big brands. At first glance, it seems that all the family background has been brought in. It's probably not from a famous family.

Thinking of this, her expression became even more perfunctory.

"You are....."

Shen Ruobing froze on the surface, but still pretended to be calm and said: "Mrs. Jin, noble people often forget things. My husband's surname is Shang, my mother's surname is Shen, and Shen Ruoxue is my biological sister. After all, I have to call Mrs. Jin my cousin." "

Gu Qiang's expression became even worse.

Although this is true, Mrs. Shang looks to be about the same age as her, so calling her cousin is too strange.

What's more, her so-called sister was only married to the son of a branch of the Gu family, and was not considered a direct relative to them. The relationship between the two of them as cousins ​​was purely polite.

But now Gu Qiang has something on her mind and doesn't even want to be polite to Shen Ruobing.

"Forget it, cousin, there's no need for that. We're both over fifty, so just call me Mrs. Jin."

As she spoke, she reached for a glass of wine handed by the servant and raised it towards Shen Ruobing.

"But I think our two families have a close relationship. Shang Shaojing is your son, isn't he? He recently appeared in the variety show that our company invested in. He seems to be quite popular."

The lady next to me got excited when she heard it.

"Is it that survival variety show? Oh, I've also been following it recently. It turns out that Shang Shaojing is your son, Mrs. Shang."

"I have to say that Mr. Jin did a really good job filming this show."

"Isn't it that Mrs. Shang is about to have good things happen? Your son is very close to that celebrity."

Shen Ruobing had a forced smile on her face, but in her heart she scolded Su Yinwan a dozen times.

If it hadn't been for the misfortune of that little hoof, Shaojing wouldn't have gone on that show and suffered so much.

As expected, beauty is a disaster.

"Then everyone is mistaken." Shen Ruobing's eyes were cold, "How can we let an actor marry us with our status? Shaojing is just young and energetic, and he is just trying to be fresh."

Everyone finally understood Shen Ruobing's thoughts and agreed, taking advantage of the situation to chat about entertainment industry gossip.

In their view, those actors were nothing more than chatting and laughing after dinner.

Immediately afterwards, someone in the crowd shouted - "The old man and the old lady are coming out", and the noise slowly subsided.
