Xie Xuan and Shen He were both granted the title of nobility and promoted to higher positions at the same time, so naturally they had to treat guests.

Because promotion means changes in social circles, even though Xie Xuan and Shen He didn't have much serious social interaction before, at least they knew each other in one circle, and if there was anything going on, they would have to post a message even if they didn't go.

In the past, those who had dealings with them were all officials of the fifth rank, but now that they have been promoted and granted titles of nobility, the ones they have dealings with are all third rank officials and noble families in the court, so the levels are naturally different.

The third rank is a hurdle. Once one crosses the third rank, one can be in charge of a department alone and have a say in the court. Only then can one be considered truly influential and be called a high-ranking official of the court.

The ennoblement of a title brought about changes in the entire class, and the circle of nobles would be even more closed than that of court officials.

Therefore, the first dinner party after being promoted to a higher position is very important.

When someone comes in person, it means that he treats you as one of his own and acknowledges that you are in the same circle.

If someone doesn't come and show courtesy, it means he is prepared to maintain superficial politeness and nodding friendship with you.

If someone doesn't come and doesn't send gifts, it means he doesn't have you in his circle and won't invite you.

What's even more hateful is that not only does they not show up, they also don't even say hello. They invite you for dinner on the same day just to ruin your show. There's no doubt that they have a grudge against you.

The emperor rewarded each of them with a large house to be used as a residence, but the house was empty.

When the emperor asked Su Fengyi to choose treasures, she skipped the box containing the Good Fortune Boy and picked half of the other items on the list, considering her selection complete.

Of the treasures that were brought back, she allocated half to Baiguo for storage, and set aside a warehouse in which to store the rest, leaving them for Xie Xuan and Shen He to use as treasures in their future homes.

Decorating the house was one thing, but asking these two bachelors to hire servants and host a banquet was simply a fantasy.

Xie Xuan was born in the Princess's Mansion and was also from Su Fengyi's maternal family. It was understandable that the Princess's Mansion would host the banquet to commemorate Xie Xuan's enthronement. This matter then fell on Dangui to organize.

As for Shen He's banquet, it was not a problem for Dangui to host it as well, but in order to avoid overstepping responsibilities, Su Fengyi asked Dangui to call Shen He to ask for his opinion.

Shen He came with a water bag in his arms. When he heard that he was going to treat us, his first reaction was:

"Holding a banquet? That means we can have a feast again!

Very good, very good, very good!

Who is cooking? Is it chef Gui?

Good, good, good, good!

Happy, happy, happy! "

As soon as Su Fengyi saw that he was eating, she understood that it was pointless to ask, so she just did it for him.

So Su Fengyi said:

"When you are crowned as a marquis, everything else is fine, but you have to decide who to invite.

Write a list for Dangui about who you want to invite, including close friends, good friends, and fellow classmates, and ask her to help you with it.

how do you feel? "

What does Shen He think?

Shen He thought it was great!

Excellent!

I like eating this kind of meal the most because I don’t have to cook it myself. In the past, I had to cry twice before I could eat it. This time, I don’t even have to cry. I can eat the ready-made meal. It’s great!

Shen He bowed to Dan Gui on the spot and said:

"Thank you Miss Dangui, you are really my savior!"

When he bowed, the contents of the water bag spilled out. Su Fengyi then saw clearly that he was holding half a water bag, which was filled with mud instead of water.

In the water bag, there is a small bright red flower, which is in full bloom.

Su Fengyi asked him:

"What are you holding?"

When Shen He saw her asking, he held the water bag in front of her like a treasure:

"It's the Phoenix Wing Flower! It's for you!

When I was returning with the prisoners, I passed through a valley. I looked up to see if there was an ambush, but when I looked up, I saw it on the cliff.

It blooms on the cliff, high up like a flying phoenix.

I think it's very beautiful, and it looks very much like you. I like it very much, so I kept it in a water bag all the way and brought it back to you. Do you like it?"

That small, fiery red phoenix wing flower might have been born to grow high in the sky, so it is not afraid of wind, rain and difficulties.

Shen He traveled thousands of miles, through many bumps and twists and turns, to bring it back. It still seemed to be blooming in the air, unrestrained, passionate, and flamboyant, without a trace of decadence, and so fiery red that it seemed able to burn everything in the world to ashes.

The posture of the Phoenix Wing Flower when it blooms is indeed like a phoenix, no wonder it is called Phoenix Wing Flower.

Indeed, it is beautiful.

Su Fengyi looked at the water bag. There were some old marks on the surface of the water bag. It was obviously an old item that had been used for many years. It was obvious that Shen He did not have any suitable tools at that time, so he cut his own water bag.

The surface of the water bag was wiped very clean, and it seemed that Shen He had cleaned it carefully.

The leaves and petals of the flower are generally stretched out, as if they have drunk enough water. The leaves are bright green, indicating that Shen He has taken good care of it over the past few days and has not let it suffer.

Su Fengyi looked into Shen He's eyes. The young man's eyes were full of expectation, as clear as a spring, allowing people to see through him at a glance.

Obviously Shen He is three years older than Xue Yu, but for some reason, when seeing Shen He, Su Fengyi would have the illusion that he is much younger than Xue Yu.

Shen He's eyes, like his words, like him, were all-encompassing and unobstructed, and could be seen through at a glance.

Su Fengyi believed that when he said he liked flowers, he was really talking about this flower, and when he said this flower looked like her, he really felt it looked like her, and it was all literal meaning.

So Su Fengyi took the water bag and replied with a smile:

"Thank you, I like it very much."

Hearing Su Fengyi say that she liked it, Shen He was satisfied. It was worth it for him to travel thousands of miles to bring it back.

Shen He exudes a cheerful atmosphere:

"That's good. You gave me candy before you left, and I have nothing to give in return. Fortunately, you like it, otherwise what would I do?"

This flower was a gift from Shen He that he brought back from afar, and it also had the same name as her. Su Fengyi didn't want to let it down, so she prepared to call a gardener to plant it well.

When Shen He saw that she was calling the gardener, he hurriedly said:

"It's no fun to let others do such a beautiful thing as planting flowers. I'll do it, I'll do it!

Plant it wherever you want, and I’ll plant it for you.”

Su Fengyi looked around and pointed outside the study window:

"That way, I can see it every day when I open the window."

Since the princess had spoken, Dangui went to ask the gardener for some tools for planting flowers for Shen He.

Shen He went to help him plant flowers, and Su Fengyi felt uncomfortable just watching, so she followed him.

Shen He squatted there and dug with a small shovel. Su Fengyi took a kettle, filled it with water, and watered the flowers.

After planting the flowers and watering them, Su Fengyi saw that Shen He had mud on his hands and asked him:

"Do you want to wash your hands? There's still half a pot of water in the kettle."

Shen He happily stretched out his hand:

"Go ahead, go ahead!"

When Xie Xuan walked into the study, he saw a perfect couple sitting side by side, one washing hands, the other watering plants, and the two looking at each other and smiling.

Homely and warm.

"Your Highness once had his eyes on Young General Shen."

The words that Dangui had said seemed to ring in his ears again, and along with this warm scene, Xie Xuan felt his heart aching slightly.
