Sure enough, Shen Chen was taken to the side hall, and as soon as he entered the room, he was stared at by seven or eight pairs of eyes.Shen Chen paused, but still went in bravely.

All the people here are acquaintances. He used to be the son of the Shen family, but now he is the daughter-in-law of the Zhan family. This difference in status is really embarrassing.

Shen Chen pretended not to care and chose a seat to sit down, planning to pretend to be a deaf-mute tonight.But things are not as simple as he thinks, he is willing not to be seen, others may not be willing to pretend not to see him.

As soon as he sat down, the wife of the Ministry of Rites came over with a polite smile: "This is the first time the general's wife has shown her face in front of everyone, isn't it? General Zhan really loves you so much that he is willing to let you out after hiding for so long .”

The ladies next to him all laughed after hearing the words, the corners of Shen Chen's mouth twitched, and he said with a subterranean smile: "What did the lady say? It's because I don't know the rules. The general is afraid that I'll offend everyone."

Damn, there are so many things to say before the banquet has even started, so when all the people come, don't you drown yourself in all kinds of eyes?

Shen Chen was tired of coping here, and General Zhan felt uncomfortable next door.Apart from dealing with the pleasantries of his colleagues, he always remembered Shen Chen in his heart.No matter how ignorant he is of the world, he still knows how terrible it is for a man to put a big man among a bunch of women.

The emperor saw that he was absent-minded, and said: "Isn't General Zhan worried about Madam?"

"Your Majesty, it's the first time my wife goes out, I'm afraid he won't spoil everyone's happiness if he doesn't know the rules." Zhan Yang said the truth, it would be better if the emperor let them go earlier.

When the emperor heard the words, a glint of sinister light flashed in his eyes, and he joked on his face: "Unexpectedly, General Zhan would also be troubled by love, hehe, the children of the Shen family are really good at it."

As he spoke, he handed Zhan Yang a glass of wine: "Ai Qing, don't worry, Madam is also the young master of the Shen family, how can she not understand the rules, you just sit here with peace of mind."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

The banquet went on without any rush, so Zhan Yang had to wait patiently.

Shen Chen's side is also very lively, and the wives are as proud as the adults. Although they can't drink alcohol, there are fruit wines tributed by other countries on the table.

This wine tastes sweet and is very suitable for ladies and ladies to drink.Maybe it can be intoxicating for them, but for Shen Chen, who can drink a few glasses at least, it is on the same level as sour plum soup.

After eating and drinking for a while, the ladies all showed some naive expressions, and they were even more unscrupulous when they joked.Seeing Shen Chen who was sitting upright, his thoughts went to him.

"There are rumors outside that General Zhan insists on marrying you?" I don't know which eldest lady asked with a smile.

It's still here. In China, the marriage of a man and a man is definitely an earth-shattering event. Before, everyone was too polite to ask. Now that they are having fun, they can't care about it so much.

Shen Chen smiled wryly: "The emperor bestowed the marriage on you."

"Didn't General Zhan ask the emperor for that?" The lady obviously didn't believe what Shen Chen said, and she gave him a sideways glance, "I heard that the general only wanted to marry you before he would send troops. There is a quarrel." Seeing Shen Chen's unbelievable look, she asked, "Why, you don't know?"

"I..." Shen Chen trembled, unable to speak.

He really didn't know, he only knew that he got married after receiving the imperial decree.Although his mother said those words to him, he really didn't know the specific reason.

Seeing that the ladies' questions were getting more and more presumptuous, Su Xiaohe frowned slightly, and pressed a certain acupoint on Shen Chen where no one could see, Shen Chen only felt his eyes darken, and cold sweat broke out.

"Madam, madam? Are you okay?" Su Xiaohe asked anxiously.

"No... just a little dizzy." Shen Chen shook his head.

"Are you a little drunk, why don't I go for a walk with you first and come back later?"

Seeing this, the wives also asked him to go out to blow some air, and also specifically explained that they would come back earlier, they had to drink wine, and the general's wife could not be absent.

General Zhan, who didn't know what it was, finally realized the feeling of caring, and he couldn't worry about the people next door when he sat at the banquet.Taking advantage of the emperor being happy and not paying attention to him, he retreated quietly.

After walking a few steps, I met Su Xiaohe who came in a hurry.

"General!" Su Xiaohe was still worried about how to find Zhan Yang, but unexpectedly, he ran into him.

Zhan Yang saw that her expression brightened suddenly, and his heart couldn't help tightening, even he didn't notice, his questioning tone was full of nervousness towards that person: "What's wrong?"

Su Xiaohe gathered himself together, took Zhan Yang and hurried towards the direction he came from, and said as he walked, "I met some young masters in the garden, young lady..." She bit her lip and didn't continue.

Zhan Yang didn't care so much, he secretly quickened his pace and walked in that direction quickly.

From a distance, he saw three or five people gathered together, with Shen Chen's back turned to him, he couldn't see his expression.But you can guess from the expressions of the people around you that it is impossible for a few people to talk about their ideals in life together.

Shen Chen was very helpless in his heart, these people were his friends, although they were not friends, when he was the son of the Shen family, he often enjoyed flowers and had fun together.Look at the present, whether everyone is gloating or despising him, how can there be any past affection?

Clenching the hands in the sleeves, Shen Chen cheered himself up in his heart: Don't pay attention to their sarcastic remarks, everything he has suffered now is for the future, for the Shen family, no matter what, he must endure it!

Those self-confident young masters chattered for a long time, but they didn't hear Shen Chen's rebuttal, and they didn't even change their eyes, and suddenly felt that they couldn't save face.

Among them, Mr. Wang's son snorted coldly, and said with a sarcastic smile: "It's really like marrying a chicken and following the chicken, and marrying a dog as the dog. General Zhan is a dumb man with an open mouth. I didn't expect to be married for a few days. Master Shen, oh no , Mrs. Zhan also became dumb?"

Shen Chen pursed his lips, resisted the urge to punch, lowered his eyes, and said lightly, "Sorry, I'm going back."

"Oh, don't!" A fair-looking young man reached out to block Shen Chen's way, "Tell us, is the general who gallops on the battlefield also this...brave at home?" His pause made everyone We all know what he is referring to.

For a moment, all kinds of ridicule sounded unscrupulously. Shen Chen turned pale, bit his lips tightly, and raised his head to look at these people.
