Meng Jiu Niangzi is the granddaughter of Princess Kangning, her father is in the Ministry of Officials, her grandmother has passed away, her mother as the daughter of the princess is also quite a status in the Meng family, the father of the year is a second-class jinshi, the appearance is also long and jade, eyebrows are sparse, Meng Jiu Niangzi only has two brothers, and there are no brothers and sisters, so she grew up, poetry is extraordinary, elegant temperament, very favored by grandparents, father and mother, but also let other cousins hate.

Meng Jiu Niangzi saw Song Niangzi and them come in with the curtain, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Sister Song, Sister Xie"

Song Thirteen Lady walked a few steps quickly and said with a smile: "It's not too late for me today,"

"It's not too late, it's not too late, it's Sister Xie today, otherwise you will definitely be still packing up your clothes in the house" Meng Jiu Niangzi smiled and led them to the big table in the middle of the room and sat down.

The other ladies of the Meng family also got up, and everyone saluted each other and sat down.

On the table are Ruyi Cake, Auspicious Fruit, Plum Blossom Cake, Rose Cake, Sugar Pastry, Herb Drink and eight other kinds of snacks. Another little lady of the Meng family greeted Xie Qi Niangzi with a smile to eat a snack, Xie Qi Niangzi smiled and took a small snack she handed over, ate it slowly, and listened to Song Thirteen Niangzi talking and laughing with everyone.

Usually these family ladies will not post to Xie Qi Niangzi, and it is also in the past two years that Song Thirteen Niangzi has frequently taken her out, and after everyone is acquainted, they will also give Xie Qi Niangzi when they post to Song Thirteen Niangzi, so Xie Qi Niangzi is also very knowledgeable, and she doesn't talk too much about where she goes.

While the little lady was talking and laughing, Wang Sanniang and Cao Baniang came one after another, and they also joined in to talk and laugh together.

In the end, the county lord of Changying was late, followed by a smiling little lady beside her, Xie Qiniang saw the county lord for the first time, only to see her hair in a towering bun, a peony silk flower in the middle, carmine long undergarment, red coat, rich and noble, but her facial features were mediocre. The little lady behind her wore a lotus-colored jacket, and when she saw Xie Qiniang, she gave her a blank look, which made Xie Qiniang very strange, and she was also the first time she saw that little lady.

Everyone got up to greet the county lord of Changying, the county lord of Changying nodded arrogantly and sat down, and the little lady she carried with her served diligently, like a personal maid.

Song Thirteen Niangzi whispered to Xie Qi Niangzi and said: "The one who wears lotus lotus and follows the county lord in Changying is the concubine of the princess of the county."

Xie Qi Niangzi nodded knowingly.

The concubine naturally understands the identity and situation of the concubine, and although she understands, Xie Qiniang will not do that. Putting yourself in the position of a slave, who still treats you as a human being?

The county lord of Changying said to Meng Jiu Niangzi: "Today I asked my fourth brother to send me here, and he went to Brother Wen's courtyard."

Meng Wenze is Meng Jiuniang's second brother, just raised people, and like his father, he is determined to take the imperial examination, a few months ago the county lord of Changying came back from his grandfather's house, and met Meng Wenze who came to pick up Meng Jiuniang at the banquet in the princess's mansion, and fell in love at first sight, he frequently went to Meng's mansion to make an appointment with Meng Jiuniang, Meng Jiuniang's maternal grandmother Princess Kangning is the sister of the grandfather of the Changying County Lord, the two are cousins, Changying is a relative cousin, so as to contact Meng Jiuniang's second brother.

Today, Changying knew that Meng Jiuniang had made an appointment with a few little ladies, so she came uninvited, in order to see Meng Wenze, she brought her fourth brother, so that the fourth brother could drag Meng Wenze out together.

Meng Jiu Niangzi has a headache, she made an appointment with the little lady today, and also prepared roast venison, when the time comes, the county lord's brother and his brother get together, so how to deal with other little ladies?

Song Thirteen Niangzi's eyes gurgled, looking at Meng Jiu's unnatural smile, and then looking at the arrogant posture of the county lord of Changying, she whispered a few words to Xie Qiniang, and then said to the county lord of Changying with a smile: "Sister Ying, are the clothes on your body from the brocade building?

The second aunt of Song Shisan's wife is also a princess, and she is also the aunt of the current emperor, and she is also related to the county lord of Changying, so the county lord of Changying is still kind to her.

The county lord of Changying smiled and said, "This is the latest cloth brought to me by my grandmother from Jiangnan, and it is not available in Beijing," her mother is from the family of the political envoy of Jiangnan.

Jiang Xuhua, the cousin of the Changying County Lord next to him, interjected: "This is all paid tribute to the palace first, and it is not sold outside, that is, only Cousin Ying will have it, even if anyone else dares to wear it."

The county lord of Changying turned his head and glanced at her reproachfully, Jiang Xuhua could see from the look of the county lord of Changying that the county lord was not really angry, and smiled proudly. Just when they were flattering and flattering the county lord, Xie Qi Niangzi hurriedly said a few words to Meng Jiu Niangzi.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and it was time for the afternoon, and Meng Jiuniang took everyone to the plum garden in the house. The plum garden was built by Meng Jiuniang's mother, when Meng Jiuniang's mother got married, the Mengfu was not big, so she bought a garden next door, and connected it with the whole Mengfu after opening up, and rebuilt the house and a plum garden there.

Plum Garden is on the right side of the entire mansion, and Meng Jiu Niangzi is the second room of the Meng family, and the entire second room lives here. From Meng Jiu Niangzi's garden along with a stone path, and then through a full moon gate, the door plaque on the charm of the two words - plum garden, into the door, the winding path leads to a small rockery, now the rockery is covered with snow, the whole garden only the stone road is cleaned, the others are white, there are dozens of red plums behind the rockery, the flowers bloom like rouge, and then there are a few little girls in red, red, green and green, lined with snow, it is more like a flower Jiao.

There are already a few square tables and more than a dozen square stools next to the rockery, and some food to be roasted is placed on the table, and I saw the mother-in-law with an iron stove, iron net, iron fork and charcoal.

Cao Banniang, who had been speechless since the county lord came, said with a smile at this time: "Sister Meng, I want to bake it myself, and it is fragrant to bake it myself:

Meng Jiuniang nodded her forehead, "It's indispensable to let you roast, I will clamo to roast venison when I come back, it will not snow yet, and there is nothing to see in the garden, no, there was a heavy snow the day before yesterday, and the plum blossoms also bloomed, so I hurriedly made an appointment with you."

Wang Sanniang said: "I think this scenery is so good, Sister Meng should have painted it."

Meng Jiu Niangzi replied with a smile: "After the snow fell overnight, I painted it the next morning, and my hands were red from the cold at that time, and it took me a few times to finish painting."

Cao Ba Niangzi hurriedly said: "I'll show us later"

Song Thirteen Niangzi answered: "Sister Meng has to hide it and not show it to her, the bamboo that Sister Meng painted last time, don't you want to see it and break it" Everyone laughed.

Meng Jiu Niangzi pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "This painting, if you don't paint again, you won't have the state of mind when you first painted, so it's still the most intentional in the original painting."

The county lord interjected: "Cousin, did Brother Wen paint the red plum picture he gave me last time?"

Song Thirteen Niangzi scolded in her heart: Shameless, it was obviously taken by herself, and she has to say that it was given to her here.

"That one happened to be one I painted last year," Meng Jiuniang said lightly.

Hearing her words, the face of the county lord of Changying sank, turned his head and said with a smile: "No wonder I liked it at first sight, the painting is so good" Jiang Xuhua's dog-legged also flattered Meng Jiu Niangzi, and several little ladies of the Meng family next to him covered their mouths.

Wang Sanniang and Cao Niangzi Xie Qiniang also looked at the scenery and pointed, and Cao Baniang laughed and giggled from time to time.

The little lady in her beautiful years laughed and laughed, reflecting the snowy whiteness here.
