While he was thinking about it, a woman in a big red makeup gown came in.

Looking in his thirties, he is not tall, but his figure is as slender as a girl, his skin is very white, and he is delicate and smooth like clotted fat.

The woman's steps are unhurried, and her eyes are slightly slanted, with a sense of superiority.

She walked a few steps away from Mrs. Tai and stopped, "Mrs. Tai, the banquet is ready!"

The Duchess of Xianguo, Lu Shi!

In the midst of lightning, Zhou Mingshan suddenly understood the identity of the woman.

The people around her greeted her enthusiastically after Lu Shi finished talking.

Yuan and Zhou Mingshan also stepped forward to salute, but Lu only responded lightly.

So arrogant, so high!

In addition to these four words, Zhou Mingshan didn't know how to evaluate this beautiful woman, thinking of the rumors she heard by chance, she couldn't help but feel a little curious about the other party.

After the ceremony, Mrs. Tai got up and beckoned everyone to take the seat, "...... It's better to enjoy the flowers and listen to the drama early. ”

After dinner, everyone moved to the west hall and had tea.

Mrs. Xu confessed on the grounds that she was unwell, and before leaving, she instructed the Lu family and the Cui family not to neglect the guests.

Both of them responded.

The ladies and ladies who like to listen to the opera went to the Changyin Pavilion, and those who liked to enjoy the flowers went to the garden.

The Lu family, the Cui family, and Mu Yurou each accompanied each other, in an orderly manner.

Yuan and Zhou Mingshan didn't like to listen to the opera, so they followed everyone to enjoy the begonias in Xifu.

The girls always wanted to be less restrained, and slowly, the crowd split into two groups, with the wives and grandmothers in the front and the girls from the various provinces in the back.

Yuan and Zhou Mingshan followed the team unhurriedly, and the hillside beside the road was full of spring flowers, dotted with stars, embroidered on the green grassy ground, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, gorgeous and picturesque.

"It's so beautiful!" Yuan has always admired beautiful things, "When I was a child, I also planted a bush in my yard, but there were not so many, looking from afar, it looked like a sea of flowers!"

In this quiet and comfortable environment, people can't help but relax.

Besides, this piece of spring flowers in the Xianguo Mansion is indeed blooming beautifully, Zhou Mingshan echoed the Yuan family while looking at other places.

She had been to the Xianguo Mansion before, but she didn't have a chance to come out for a walk, and she didn't even know where the garden of the Xianguo Mansion was, so of course she had to take a good look now that she had the opportunity.

Pavilions, water pavilions, warm docks, peaches, plums, apricots, pears, a clear stream meanders away, along the bluestone road all the way up to the end is a delicate pavilion, where you can have an unobstructed view of the entire back garden.

Zhou Mingshan and Yuan stood in the pavilion for a while, and then felt that the wind was a little strong.

So they went down the hill and rested at the waterfront by the roadside.

In front of the pavilion is a rockery, next to a shallow pond, where Yuan and Zhou Mingshan sit just in time to see the small fish that occasionally bubble out of the pond.

Gold, red, black...... All kinds of fish shook their heads and tails under the water, Zhou Mingshan looked interesting, and couldn't help but pick up the fish food and tease it aside.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps sounded outside the rockery.

It is estimated that they are also people who are tired of walking like them and come to rest, Yuan was about to make an invitation, but the voice in her ears made her forget to speak.

"Well, do you know that Mrs. Hanlin is here today?"

"Which Mrs. Hanlin, why didn't I know that I had invited Mrs. Hanlin today?"

"Oh, it's the third grandmother Yuan of the Xingyuan Marquis Mansion, her husband is a science explorer, and now he is in the Hanlin Academy!"

"Oh, so what, it has nothing to do with us anyway......"

"Looking at what you said, don't you wonder why Mrs. Tai is so enthusiastic about that Third Grandma Yuan?"

"You know that?"

"I'm also guessing, did you say it was for Mu Shizi...... Definitely not, I heard that the Thursday girl had withdrawn from her marriage and her reputation was not good, how could Mrs. Xu choose such a granddaughter-in-law?"

"Ah, won't it? That girl Zhou is good-looking, neat and generous in her actions, and she doesn't have a little family spirit at all, and I plan to go back and ask about introducing my nephew!"

"Oh, don't, as the saying goes, people can't be good-looking, how do you know what it's like when you only see her, if it's not good, wouldn't it delay the child?

"That's just as well!"

"Hey, you said it shouldn't be some distant relative of Mrs. Xu, right?

"No, Mrs. Xu, can't you be unclear?"

"Thousands of precautions, thieves are difficult to prevent, you forgot what happened back then......"

"Don't say it, this is the Xianguo Mansion, maybe there will be someone!"

"Well, I'm just thinking about it, isn't this Grandma Yuan San and the Thursday girl the same now, it's strange for you to say, why are there always people who are so short-sighted, blinded by a little glory and wealth, and when they see an egg, they have to go up and bite twice, and they don't think about their own teeth......"

"How can you curse?"

Yuan's angry voice finally interrupted the two people who were chatting happily.

Zhou Mingshan secretly supported her forehead, she actually didn't mind being talked about behind others' backs, but Yuan's was different.

She heard it as early as when the two of them started to talk, when she saw Yuan standing there still, she thought that she had the same idea, afraid that the two sides would be embarrassed, and wanted to wait for the other party to finish speaking and leave by themselves, so they didn't hear it.

But when she heard it, she immediately knew that something bad was going to happen.

Before she could reach out to stop Yuan, Yuan couldn't wait to jump out.

"Are you Grandma Yuan San?"

Fang had just seen it in the flower hall, and after all, he still had some impressions, and the two people who spoke looked at the Yuan family who suddenly appeared in front of them, and they were a little dumbfounded.

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and the person behind the discussion was caught on the spot, for the most decent lady on weekdays, there is nothing more embarrassing than this!

Especially the lady who stopped the conversation in the back, she was already more kind-hearted, and the situation in front of her was too embarrassing!

"Grandma Yuan San, I'm sorry, we didn't mean to ......"

The lady who mentioned the conversation was a little annoyed and angry, "Why apologize, we didn't say anything, besides, is it the rule for Grandma Yuan San to hide here and eavesdrop on others?"

Yuan's face was white, she was not good at words, if she only talked about herself, she would have endured it, but these two people had words to sarcastically mock Zhou Mingshan, but she couldn't bear it.

"You, you're too much......"

"Why are we going too far? Aren't we telling the truth? Since we have done it, we should not be afraid of what others will say, and it is not a villain to dare to do it......

"It seems that this Mrs. Tang thinks that she is acting very fairly?"

Zhou Mingshan didn't want to come forward, firstly, he was a junior, and secondly, these two people were not excessive, and it was okay to apologize. js3v3
