Although Zhao Taoxiang was very reluctant, under the urging of Mrs. Qin, the next day after the Nan family led Sheng Weiqiao and his party to the door, she saluted and sat down, she still took the initiative to get up, blessed and blessed, and said with a smile: "The two sisters are really sorry, I was dizzy by that Meng Guihuan that day, so when I heard this little sister Sheng interject, I was so angry that I disturbed your Youxing, I am really sorry - Later, when I calmed down and wanted to go to confess to the two, I didn't expect the two to have left Bishui County." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoBecause I don't know the specific date of your arrival in Chang'an, I thought that I would go to Ningweihou's Mansion in two days to inquire, so that I could make a compensatory deal with you, but who knew that the two sisters came first today, so I am not ashamed!"

When Sheng Weiqiao entered the door, he was worried that this Zhao Taoxiang was very domineering and strong when he was in Danmo Building, and if he didn't let go, he would be in trouble.

Seeing her take the initiative to show favor at this moment, she naturally didn't care about anything, "That day, it was obviously you who provoked Meng Guihuan first and wanted to say that Meng Guihuan was dizzy because of you", while secretly praising the Zhao family for being a scholarly family, no matter what she thought in her heart, the gesture on her face was comfortable, and she was busy returning the courtesy: "What did my sister say? It turned out that my sister was ignorant and interjected rashly, disturbing my sister's interest! I was also at fault that day, and I offended my sister impulsively, Wanwang Sister Haihan!"

He also introduced Gongsun Ying Jiang to Zhao Taoxiang, "This is our niece Ying Jiang, she didn't show up that day, but she was also in the private room." ”

Gongsun Ying Jiang said softly: "I failed to fulfill my duty of advising the two aunts that day, so that the aunts and Miss Zhao both returned disappointed, but I am not." ”

Seeing their attitude, Zhao Taoxiang felt a little more resentful in her heart, and said with a smile: "How can I blame you for this? It's all my quick temper, alas, how many times have my family said about me, but every time I always offend before I come back to my senses, and it's often too late to regret it at this time!"

"You still know remorse!" At this time, the old lady Qin at the top chuckled and said to her, "It's a shame that other people's children have come to our Chang'an, otherwise, where will you go to find someone to apologize on this day?

"Second Miss, this is the heart of a child!" Nan said with a smile, "I really like the true temperament of Second Miss! Originally, girls of their age were talking and laughing, noisy, and vibrant, and they felt comfortable listening to them next to them!"

Old Madam Qin said: "The appearance of these children of the Sheng family is so good, they just don't talk, laugh, make noise, and look at it like this, my wife also feels comfortable and tight!"

"If you want to talk about good looks, the girl under your knees is really stunning!" Nan immediately boasted, "Not to mention the elegance of the princess Niangniang, the princess of Guangling, the second miss, the third miss, which one is not a flower and a moon?

Old Madam Qin's most proud blood is not the two sons, but the only daughter, Princess Zhao Ziye, Gaomi, at this moment, when she heard this, the smile on her face was a little sincere, and she said kindly: "Midnight is a grandmother, where is there any peerless elegance? It's hard for you to remember her." ”

"What you said, although the princess hasn't been out much in the past two years, who can forget her?" Nan smiled and said, "At the Lantern Festival last year, I was just the entanglement of the Cai Kwai sisters, leading them to visit the lamp market, and I happened to see the princess Niangniang through the crowd - although she only had a glimpse, she was like a fairy concubine, and the Cai Kwai sisters pulled me straight and asked, is it a fairy puppet to travel into the mortal world!"

"She went to the Lantern Market last year?" Nan's words were just to please the old lady Qin, but when the old lady heard this, her face changed slightly, and she subconsciously sat up straight, and asked a little eagerly, "When did you go alone?

Nan Shi wondered, although Princess Gaomi has rarely appeared in recent years - to be precise, since she became Mrs. Hou and moved to Chang'an with her husband to live for a long time, she has basically never seen Zhao Ziye - but the Lantern Festival Lantern Market has always been the most lively time of the year in the city, and even more so, Princess Gaomi has not gone out in the mansion for a long time, and she is very quiet, it seems that there is nothing strange, right?

Why did Old Madam Qin's reaction seem to be unusual?

Moreover, Mrs. Qin is the mother of Princess Gaomi, and she wants to know the details of her daughter's trip to the Lantern Festival last year, so she directly sends someone to the palace to ask if it is not? Anyway, the Zhao Mansion is not a few steps away from the Gaomi Palace, so why should she interrogate herself so disagreed now?

Although I was puzzled, this is not something that cannot be said, Nan thought so, so he seriously recalled the meeting, and said: "I don't remember what time it was, because I just saw it by chance through the crowd, if it wasn't for the ceremony the year before last, I had a relationship with the princess Niangniang, and the princess Niangniang's appearance is outstanding, and her bearing is very incomparable, there were so many people at that time, and she may not be able to recognize it - if I think about it now, the princess Niangniang should have a maid guard by her side, but as for the rest of the palace, I didn't see it." ”

After thinking about it again, "The princess seemed to be carrying a lotus lantern in her hand at that time. ”

Apologetically, "I can't think of anything else!"

"It's okay!" Old Madam Qin listened, her face changed, and it took a while to return to normal, and she smiled, "That child hasn't gone out for a long time, it's the Zhao family's maiden family, except for returning to the door on the second day of the new year every year, I can't see her at other times...... So when I first heard that she was going to visit the light market, I was really surprised!"

Nan knew that the old lady was not telling the truth, but she didn't want to have anything to do with the Zhao Mansion and the Gaomi Palace, and she had no intention of exploring other people's **, so she also smiled: "The old lady has a motherly heart, which is enviable!"

I don't know if I heard about Princess Gaomi going to visit the lamp market, Old Madam Qin lost interest all of a sudden, and after saying a few words with Nan's family, she showed a lack of color.

Seeing this, the second daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, that is, Zhao Xuan's wife, Ji Shi, hurriedly invited Nan's: "Yesterday, someone sent a few good skins, and I was thinking about cutting clothes for my family, but the style has not been settled, if Mrs. Nan doesn't dislike it, help me palm my eyes?"

"You are lifting me, I am from a small family, how can my eyesight be compared with you?" Nan also saw the sudden tiredness of Old Madam Qin, and did not refuse, "You are giving me a chance to gain knowledge! It just so happens that I have a few good skins from last year in my storehouse, and I plan to ask someone to take them out and wear them in the near future, but it is a ready-made opportunity for me to learn from you!"

The Ji family breathed a sigh of relief, the Zhao family had no contact with the Ningweihou Mansion before, and the younger girls occasionally moved around, so she still dealt with the Nan family for the first time, I was really afraid that this Ningweihou lady was from a humble background and could not understand the meaning of her words.

At this time, Mrs. Qin also spoke out to dismiss the juniors: "I must have felt bored by detaining you in front of me for so long, right? Although the flowers are withering in this season, the flower house in our house is built in a glazed house, and there is a dragon burning underneath, but there are still many off-season flowers blooming, and it is interesting to be surrounded by snow outside!"

Zhao Tao's makeup understood: "Sister of the Sheng family, sister of the Xu family, and niece Ying Jiang, do you want to go to the flower room to have a look?"

Sheng Weiqiao was busy with Sheng Weiwei and Gongsun Yingjiang's promise, and the Xu family sisters naturally readily agreed, and the younger generations withdrew from the door together with the Nan family and the Ji family.

Because the flower room is vertically in the house, there is nothing to worry about, and when they get outside, the Ji family said a few words to the Nan family, and then went to the second room to see the skin.

Zhao Taoxiang led Sheng Weiqiao and his party over, and chatted with them at the same time: "I heard that you came to Chang'an by boat all the way?

"At first, I thought everything was interesting, but after spending a lot of time on the ship, I got used to it. Sheng Weiqiao was a little surprised, "You went to Bishui County before, didn't you take a boat?

Although there are official roads from Chang'an to Bishui County, the official roads at this time are also solid dirt roads. The government will send people to repair the section near the big city from time to time, but in the farther places, when the wind and rain pass, the rain will be washed away, or there will be too many people to leave, and the potholes and unevenness may not be taken care of.

No matter how delicate the carriage is, it is really difficult to pass through this kind of road.

Especially the carriage is after all spacious but the boat, for the ladies to travel by boat, when the wind is calm, you can go to the deck for a walk, if you take the carriage, most of the time can only be in the narrow carriage, so not boring.

Zhao Taoxiang didn't take a boat when they came back, which is understandable, because it is difficult to speed up the waterway, especially in this season, the northwest wind is blowing, and it is becoming more and more difficult for the boat to go north.

I didn't take a boat when I went, but that's weird.

Zhao Taoxiang saw her doubts and explained: "Originally, when we went, we also planned to go south by boat, but Sister Yehe was so seasick that she couldn't even go boating on the lake in her spare time, let alone sit on the boat for so long." So we come and go with her by land. ”

At this time, Xu Caikui, who was originally leading Xu Caifu in the back, interjected: "Sister Yehe is the granddaughter of Duke Huan, the pearl of Yongyibo's palm, and the queen mother's personal title of the county lord of Jingshu." ”

Sheng Weiqiao said politely: "Just listening to this title, you know that this county lord must be a person who has good words and deeds." ”

When Zhao Taoxiang heard this, she didn't know why, but she subconsciously frowned, and then said lightly: "Well, everyone likes her a lot." ”

She didn't seem to want to mention Huan Yehe, so she diverted the topic and said, "Is Ying Jiang your niece?" I heard that Ling Zun is the eldest son, but I didn't expect your nieces to be about the same age as you. ”

"Ying Jiang is kind to my family, so my father accepted her as a granddaughter. Sheng Weiqiao said with a smile, "She is indeed the same age as me." ”

Zhao Taoxiang was a little curious: "With all due respect, since Ying Jiang is the same age as you, why doesn't Ling Zun accept her as a righteous daughter, but a righteous granddaughter?

Isn't he an old man in his seventies or eighties, what is he doing to be the grandfather of a girl of the same age as his own daughter?

Sheng Lanci had already prepared for this question, so at this moment Sheng Weiqiao calmly replied: "The main reason is that not long after my brother recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, my father was afraid of being misunderstood and offended her biological mother's name, so he deliberately made her a generation lower." Besides, she used to have some relationship with my brother, and she used to call my brother 'uncle'. ”

At the mention of Sheng Sleeping Crane, Zhao Taoxiang said with a smile: "Brother Ling and Ning Wei Hou Shizi, this will seem to be talking to my brothers in front? Although I haven't seen them in Danmo Building that day, it must be very outstanding to come to Chang'an to participate in the Spring Festival at this age." ”

"My father said that they should come and watch the show, but they didn't expect anything. Sheng Weiqiao and Xu Caikui said humbly on behalf of their respective brothers, "It is the heirloom of poetry and books in your mansion, and the origin of family learning, if the two brothers can get a little literary atmosphere today, they will be satisfied!"

While speaking, they had already arrived at the flower room in front of them, this flower room was made of glazed masonry, as Mrs. Qin said, so that the sunlight could shine directly, but the wind and rain did not invade, and the snow could not fall.

Push open the door, the flowers and trees inside are verdant, all kinds of flowers that should be in full bloom in spring and summer, under the urging of the underground dragon, in the middle of winter, bloom brightly, looking at a piece of purple and red, the nose is fragrant and rich, lined with the vast snow that is falling outside, unique style.

Sheng Weiqiao and the others were born in Nanfeng County, and they had never seen snow twice in their lives, so there was no need to make such a warm house in the garden.

Zhao Taoxiang accompanied them, introducing them to the varieties and allusions of the flowers inside, and when he was pointing to a cluster of oily leaves Mo Lan to speak, he saw a corner of clothes not far away, looked up, couldn't help but be surprised, and blurted out: "Cousin, why did you come here?"
