Chapter 32: The Birthday Banquet (2)

Yu pursed his lips and finally shut up.

The second lady hadn't attended this kind of entertainment for a long time, and others looked at her very much, and the second lady didn't rush forward to find someone to make friends with, she looked around and then took Wei and Yu to find a place to sit down.

The place where the Yasukuni Mansion is used to entertain the ladies today is a very spacious flower hall, this flower hall should be specially used to entertain guests when the Yasukuni Mansion holds a big banquet on weekdays, built in the garden, and there is a pond of lotus pond in the north, this lotus pond is nearly half larger than the one He Linwan saw in the Yuan family last time, and after the several large windows facing the pond in the north are demolished in the summer, this flower hall becomes a water pavilion half built in the water, which is very cool.

Because they had come early, the second lady chose a place to sit down next to the north window, and the discerning maid immediately put the tea and snacks on the high table in front of them.

Not far away, two young women leaned against the window near the water and whispered and laughed, they were so engrossed that they didn't notice that there were already people sitting here, thinking that their voices were not loud, and they didn't want the hall to be empty, but what they said reached the ears of He Linwan and the others intermittently.

The woman in the blue gown covered her mouth and laughed for a while, and finally stopped, and said to another woman in the cherry red gown: "When I saw Mrs. Shizi before, I thought that her temper had changed, and I didn't want to be the same as before." ”

The woman in the cherry red gown lowered her voice and said: "I heard that it was the one who was making trouble, wearing a bright red dress and coming out to entertain guests, the one who has been in charge of the Yasukuni Mansion for so many years, and the Duchess of Yasukuni is a person who does not show up easily." It is estimated that she has already thought that she is the wife of the main house. ”

The woman in the blue gown said disapprovingly: "Then it also depends on the occasion! Not to mention that today is the birthday of the Duchess of Yasukuni, and there is a banquet in the house, didn't she come out dressed in red and slapped the Duchess of Yasukuni in the face? Even if the Duchess of Yasukuni has the temper of a face-saving person, there is still the prince and the wife of the prince who want to be faced. Even the Duke of Yasukuni would not dare to bear the charge of killing his wife with a favored concubine. ”

The woman in the cherry red gown said with a bit of interest in her tone: "Wait and see, there will be a good show to watch today......"

The two of them were talking enthusiastically, and Yu here listened with relish. The second lady and Wei quietly bowed their heads and drank tea, and did not hear what they were doing.

While Yu was waiting to hear something more interesting from these two people, a slightly surprised voice sounded not far away: "Zhenniang?"

He Linwan couldn't help but look up, and saw a dignified woman about the same age as Wei's walking over with surprise on her face: "Zhenniang, it's really you?"

Wei was also surprised and delighted after seeing the person who came clearly: "Sister Yu, I didn't expect to meet you here today." ”

The woman laughed and said, "I didn't expect it." Tell me how long it's been since you've been showing up?"

Wei smiled embarrassedly. Seeing that the second lady smiled and looked at them reminiscing, she quickly remembered and said, "Second aunt, this is Mrs. Dingwu Hou Shizi, and it is my handkerchief." Sister Yu, this is my second aunt. ”

The second lady greeted Yu when she heard this. Then he glanced at the fourth wife, Yu's side. smiled: "The fourth daughter-in-law." Why didn't you say anything when you saw your sisters?"

Yu's face was a little bad from the appearance of Da Yu, the wife of the Marquis of Dingwu, and when he heard the second lady say this, Da Yu glanced at Yu. smiled lightly and beckoned first: "Second sister, are you also there?"

Yu Shi seemed to see Da Yu's at this time, a big smile appeared on his face, and he said in a slightly exaggerated voice: "Yo, it turned out to be a big sister, I can't recognize it after a long time." Ah, I mean that you have become more and more majestic after a long time, and many say that you are old. ”

After speaking, Yu Shi covered her lips and smiled, but unfortunately no one was willing to support her, even the second lady frowned and scolded: "If you can't speak, don't speak! No one is dumb for you." ”

The second lady was really a little annoyed by the Yu family, she was the one who brought people out, and she was the elder of the Yu family, and it was also her people who were embarrassed by the Yu family.

Yu's face froze, and he was a little faceless.

Da Yu smiled generously and said to the second lady: "My second sister was honest when she was a girl at home, but I didn't expect that she had not changed after so many years of marriage, so it can be seen that her in-laws treat her well and raise her as a girl." ”

Da Yu's words sounded good, and the second lady's face looked better, thinking that what was really out of the concubine was what was out of the concubine, and no matter how much gold was put on her face, she couldn't change what she brought in the bottom. Standing with a serious person is even more superior.

Da Yu said affectionately to the second lady: "Second aunt, I haven't seen Zhenniang for a long time, I want to whisper something to her, and I ask the second lady for permission." ”

The second lady had a very good impression of Da Yu's family, and when she heard this, she smiled kindly: "Go, go, it's okay to chat for a long time." As he spoke, he said to Wei, "You sisters talk well, and Ah Wan will follow me." ”

Hearing this, Da Yu looked at He Linwan and said with a smile: "This is Ah Wan? It's really a female college eighteen changes, and my aunt doesn't dare to recognize you." ”

Da Yu's words were not polite, she had seen He Linwan a few times, but she had never seen He Linwan look as standard and docile as she is now, so at first she thought it was a child of the He family. When I saw this, I was really surprised and delighted.

The second lady smiled: "It's Ah Wan, this child has grown up sensible, and he is very well-behaved." ”

Although Wei was embarrassed to praise his daughter, he also smiled softly on the side.

He Linwan got up to give Da Yu a gift, Da Yu liked her very much, looked at himself, and said with a smile: "That's it, your aunt and I are not outsiders, I owe you a meeting gift and make up for it next time." As he spoke, he gently patted He Linwan's head.

Wei and Da Yu walked together into the garden.

Several people had a tacit understanding, and did not mention the words of letting the fourth wife, Yu Shi, also go with the sisters to catch up with them.

He Linwan sat down with the second lady for a while, the two women who had chatted happily before had already left when Da Yu's came over, He Linwan looked around the hall and recognized a few acquaintances, I didn't dare that these girls were all known by Yang Weizhen before, and they were not too familiar, so He Linwan sat there and did not move.

It didn't take long for the people of the Yuan family to come, and today it was Mrs. Yuan and Yuan Xiang who came, and the second lady laughed when she saw them, and Mrs. Yuan came over with Yuan Xiang.

Several people saluted each other, and Mrs. Yuan said, "Why are you sitting here?" This side is more secluded, and there are fewer people.

The second lady said helplessly: "I haven't been out for a long time, and when I look at it, the room is full of people, and I don't know how to greet them." Luckily, it didn't take long for you to come. ”

Mrs. Yuan knew what she meant when she heard the song, and immediately smiled: "It just so happens that I am also a person, if you don't mind, come with me today, and I can also help you introduce each other when you meet someone." ”

What the second lady was waiting for was Mrs. Yuan's words.

In fact, the second lady was waiting for Mrs. Yuan to come, and if she took the initiative to make friends with people who didn't recognize her with her seniority and identity, it would be a loss of identity. But sitting so silently all the time that others won't know who she is, and she doesn't want to, she always has to slowly walk back into the social circle that should have belonged to her in the future.

Yuan Xiang said: "Grandmother, then I'll talk to Sister He together." ”

Although Mrs. Yuan was a little surprised that Yuan Xiang was suddenly close to He Linwan now, she saw that He Linwan seemed to be really much better tempered than Yuan Xiang had said before, so she didn't object anymore, and said softly: "Then don't go far." Always follow people around you. ”

The second lady also said: "I am relieved that Ah Wan is with Ah Xiang, you can go." ”

Saying that, the second lady looked at Yu again, and Yu thought that she was also going to be left behind, so she immediately said: "I'm with the second aunt, and the second aunt will support you." With that, Yu got up and grabbed the second lady's arm.

The second lady glanced at her, and didn't say anything in front of everyone, and was supported by the Yu family to follow Mrs. Yuan to recognize people.

When they were all gone, Yuan Xiang smiled and said to He Linwan: "This is a place where the ladies and wives stay, let's go out for a walk and talk." ”

He Linwan had this intention, so he got up and followed Yuan Xiang out of the Water Pavilion Flower Hall.

I heard that the garden of the Yasukuni Mansion has been built for decades, and the craftsmen who built this garden are the same people who built the Imperial Palace Garden, so it is very famous in Beijing.

Yuan Xiang looked around and said with a smile: "It's much more atmospheric than my garden, and it really lives up to its reputation." By the way, my mother is trying to plant an eighteen-year-old plant in her own garden, and I heard that there is an extremely rare one in the Yasukuni Mansion, which was the dowry of the Duchess of Yasukuni at the beginning, how about we go and see?"

He Linwan didn't care, so he nodded and agreed, seeing Yuan Xiang pulling her away without a head, He Linwan hurriedly pulled her away: "Aren't you going to see the camellia? Where are you going?" ”

Yuan Xiang was stunned, and was taken a few steps by He Linwan before he reacted and said, "I just wanted to find a maid to ask for directions, but Sister He, you should also be the first time to come to the Yasukuni Mansion, right?

He Linwan was stunned when he heard this, but he smiled and said, "I heard my mother talk about it, she has been here before." ”

In fact, He Linwan was not the first time she came to the Yasukuni Mansion, the last time she came, the old Yasukuni was still alive, and she followed her grandmother to attend the birthday banquet of the old Yasukuni Mansion. The same birthday banquet, the same water pavilion flower hall, and the same garden, but it is already a thing or a person.

"Huh, isn't that one over there?" Yuan Xiang followed her mother, a person who loves flowers and plants, and she saw it from afar. Even if the precious camellia is not in bloom at this time.

Yuan Xiang pulled He Linwan and walked over there, so it was not the flowering season, so no one else except them went to this corner to see the camellia.

As soon as they approached, they heard a warm voice say, "Brother-in-law, what are you looking for me?".
