Chapter 11
"Jiu Yiniang, Miss Jiu, the old matriarch is here to invite you."

Mufu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person who came, and whispered the identity of this person in Shaoyin's ear, the manager of the Shaofu.

"Director Shao, I don't know why the old matriarch asked our mother and daughter to go?"

Mufu and Shaoyin stepped forward and asked.

"The old matriarch's thoughts are something that slaves can guess, and you will naturally know when you get there."

Director Shao said in a business-like manner that he did not intentionally embarrass their mother and daughter, and at the same time he did not take special care of them. He just conveyed the orders of the old lady with a glance like ordinary people.

"If Jiu Yiniang and Miss Jiu have nothing else to do, then let this old slave go."

"Okay, listen to Manager Shao's arrangements."

Jiu Yiniang, Mufu quickly agreed, with a respectful attitude.The old matriarch Shao is the person with the highest status in the Shao mansion, who holds the power of life and death for countless people in the mansion, no one dares to say a word to the old matriarch.

"Who is that old lady?"

Shaoyin walked behind and asked in a low voice.Just to spread the word, it is such a big battle, presumably the old lady's status in Shaofu is not low, she should be an important person.

"The old matriarch used to be a female official in the palace. She served the empress dowager who had passed away and was named a first-class lady. Without the old matriarch's hard work, there would be no such beautiful Shaofu. In fact, in today's Shaofu, the real The person in power is still the old lady.”

Mufu was afraid that her daughter would make a mistake in front of the old lady later, so she spoke in detail.

"Well, I see."

Shaoyin nodded, telling mother not to worry, she will know how to measure.

Leaving the dilapidated firewood house, bypassing a circular arch, passing through a winding water corridor, and passing through an exquisite pavilion, a courtyard full of various chrysanthemums appeared.There is no luxury as imagined, but every detail reveals a sense of refinement and nobility.

With Shaoyin's eyesight, it can be seen that those pots for chrysanthemums are all very precious porcelains, which are of great value.

"The old matriarch is inside, the old servant will report first."

Director Shao stood outside the yard, stopped, and spoke.

"Okay, sir."

Mu Fu felt quite nervous when she thought of seeing the old lady, wondering if the old lady blamed the two of them for hearing about the hydrangea throwing yesterday.

"Xianyunju! This name is somewhat fairy-like!"

Shaoyin stood quietly at the side, like a quietly blooming flower, containing a faint fragrance, if you don't taste it carefully, you will not be able to discover her beauty.She looked up at the plaque hanging in front of the courtyard, the flamboyant handwriting was graceful and domineering.

She also noticed that the corner of the plaque was stamped with an inscription, which looked shocking.

"Mother, do you know who the inscription on this plaque is?"

"I heard that it was inscribed by the Empress Die. This is also the most precious thing of the old lady."

Mufu whispered in a low voice, mentioning that sacred figure who is deeply rooted in the hearts of every citizen, she immediately showed awe.

"Queen Die? Is she the current empress?"

Seeing the awe and reverence expressed by her mother from the heart, Shaoyin couldn't help but be full of curiosity about Queen Die.What kind of woman would be respected by my mother?

"The Butterfly Queen is the respectful name people give to the Empress Dowager. She is the goddess in the hearts of our Tianyao people."

Mu Fu has never met the butterfly queen Feng Meixue, but she has been fascinated by her for a long time since she grew up listening to her deeds.

"Follow me in."

Before Shaoyin could ask any more questions, Director Shao had already come out and invited them in.

Shaoyin has never met the old matriarch, so she doesn't know what kind of person is in charge of the power behind the Shaofu.After she was ushered into the bright hall, she saw that it was full of guests.

Seeing so many people, Jiu Yiniang Mufu's face was a little flustered.However, feeling that someone gently shook her hand, she turned her head and saw Shaoyin's confident eyes, and the fear in her heart dispelled a lot in an instant.

"Mom, stand up and don't be afraid."

"Ok!"

Mu Fu nodded, and a surge of courage arose in her heart, making her look up at the full house of guests.It's just that this place is already full of people, and there is no place for the two of them.The situation of the two of them can be said to be a dead end, extremely embarrassing and embarrassing.

However, she has long been used to this situation, subconsciously leading Shaoyin to an inconspicuous corner.On this occasion, their mother and daughter have never had a place, and can only stand with the servants in the corner.

Knowing her intentions, Shaoyin pulled her and made her stop.

"Jiu'er, what are you going to do?"

Seeing Shaoyin firmly pulling her towards the old matriarch, Jiuyiniang Mufu couldn't help but shudder.

Seeing the two of them walking upright, everyone's eyes fell on them.Seeing the appearance of their mother and daughter, there were murmurs of discussion among the crowd.

Shaoyin couldn't hear what everyone was talking about, but it probably wouldn't be anything good.However, Shaoyin didn't care what other people said, and still went her own way.

The old lady on the main seat looked at the two of them with a bit of majesty in her eyes.

"Shaoyin, I met grandma!"

Shaoyin was not afraid of her gaze, and said neither humble nor overbearing.She had never met the old lady, but she made a bold guess based on the order of the seats and the attitude of everyone.

When Jiu Yiniang Mufu heard her self-reported name, she couldn't help being stunned.Under the pressure of everyone's eyes, she could hardly even think.

"Shaoyin?"

The old matriarch had an aura of calm and prestige, and a pair of shining eyes stared at Shaoyin and Mufu.

"That's right, my granddaughter's name is Shaoyin. Now that my granddaughter is an adult, if she doesn't even have a name, wouldn't it be ridiculous. I don't know why grandma asked us to come here?"

Shaoyin said loudly, without any nervousness.

"You are right. It was Grandma's negligence before. Shaoyin is a good name."

After listening to her words, the old matriarch did not get angry, but nodded, and then continued.

"You will also attend the Hibiscus Banquet in two days' time."

"Jiu'er, no, it's Shaoyin, can she really go to the Furong Banquet?"

Jiu Yiniang Mufu said overjoyed, with disbelief in her eyes.You must know that the Hibiscus Banquet is a gathering of princes and grandchildren, famous families, and even unmarried men and women of the royal family. It is also equivalent to a high-level blind date meeting in disguise.At that time, all the young ladies waiting to be married will participate, hoping to find the one they like.
