Mrs. Shen and Miss Su received them in the second door, and when they saw a few people from the Hou Mansion of Cheng'an approaching, they all smiled, and Mrs. Shen took the lead in praising the beauty of the golden flower on Mrs. Tuesday's hairpin, and said: "Look, look, I haven't seen you for a few days, and the three girls have become beautiful again." The young girls are slowly growing up, and we elders really don't know whether to be happy that they are getting more and more beautiful, or to sigh that they will grow old slowly!"

Mrs. Shen wore a sandalwood tuan-patterned stand-up collar long jacket, a dark green ten-panel horse-faced skirt, and a foot-wide magpie spring report on the edge. Wearing a carved hairpin with a distracted hairpin with Dongzhu, the hairpin is inlaid with opal and red sapphire, which is very luxurious; On the chest of the long jacket with a standing collar, there is also a jewel inlaid with beeswax, and the flowers are embroidered with gold, which is magnificent.

Looking at the dress, you can know that the Shen family of the imperial merchant is the maiden family of Mrs. Su.

The lettering hairpin was only raised in the palace a few years ago, the craftsmanship is complex, and the finished product is precious; the embroidery pattern on the skirt can be seen to be the craftsmanship of the embroidery lady in the palace -- everyone knows that Shen Guifei rewarded Mrs. Su with an embroidery girl, and the craftsmanship and color matching are all excellent.

As she spoke, Mrs. Su was beaming with joy between her eyebrows.

The corners of Mrs. Tuesday's mouth were curved perfectly, but she didn't feel it in her heart - the Shen family just married her son as a daughter-in-law, and now she is a mother-in-law, and her power is slowly decentralized, just waiting to hold her grandson as a grandmother;

The Wang family of the long house, isn't it still an old clam with pearls?

Shen's words are not very happy.

But it was just a thought in her heart, and Mrs. Tuesday saw Miss Su beside Shen again, and she also took her hand with a smile, exaggerating that the girl was good-looking, polite and capable, "Mrs. Shen is so blessed!" said Miss Su, "I can handle the Spring Festival banquet at a young age, I am really capable." ”

Shen smiled as he spoke, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes wrinkled a little deeper.

If you just look at the face, Shen should be old. The unhappiness in Mrs. Tuesday's heart, seeing Mrs. Su's face, suddenly dissipated a lot.

On Tuesday, Mrs. took the three girls to Xiude Hall to greet Mrs. Su Ge.

Mrs. Su is in her fifties, wearing a true purple embroidered Eight Immortals Silk Gown, with an indigo forehead on her head, embedded with an emerald with a finger-sized belly, embroidered with pine and crane patterns on the side, exquisite craftsmanship, very exquisite.

Seeing a few girls saluting her like flowers, she smiled and laughed, "You little girl's family go to play by yourself!" My old woman won't leave you to drink tea and be funny, go to Nanyuan and take a look, Jin Niang has arranged seven or eight times before and after, I'm afraid you don't like it, go quickly!"

Jin Niang is the name of the eldest girl Su, and the eldest girl's single name is a Jin character, and she is the most outstanding girl in the Su family's jade generation.

The little girls came out of Xiude Hall in a lively manner, and were taken by Miss Su to the newly renovated Nanyuan.

There are also the second girls of the Su family, Yu Niang, the third girl, Jue Niang, Ouyang Mu and Ouyang Tang of the sincere Bo family, Shen Rui, the eldest girl of the Shen family, and Bai Yingyun and Yingxi, the girls of the Bai family of the Shangshu Bai family of the Ministry of Rites. As far as the eye can see, the tone is cheerful as if spring has arrived.

A few people walked out of the Xiude Hall, turned along the stone road and crossed the bamboo forest, and saw a lake several zhang wide, sparkling, very bright in the sun, and a pavilion was erected on both sides, echoing each other from afar.

"The one on the other side of the lake is called Zhaoshui Pavilion, and the one on this side is called Yingzhu Pavilion, all of which are exactly the same, but after the Zhaoshui Pavilion, it is Nanyuan, which can be regarded as another small world, quiet and quiet, and they are far away. Miss Su raised her fingers and pointed to the two pavilions, and then led everyone around the lake to the Zhaoshui Pavilion.

Shen Rui listened to it interestingly, and asked her: "Sister Su said that she was far away from them, who are they? Could it be that there are others coming?"

A few people entered the Zhaoshui Pavilion, and there was still a thin layer of soft smoke hanging on the pavilion, like a dreamlike color, fluttering like a cloud floating in the air.

Miss Su instructed the maid to serve the tea fruit, beckoned a few girls to sit down and rest for a while, and then chuckled and said, "I heard my brother say, I'm afraid that a few masters over there will also come over today."

The Su family's mansion is in the east city, and the west is naturally the imperial city.

It turned out that the nobles of the palace were also coming.

As soon as the words came out, the faces of all the girls were more or less different.

Miss Su continued: "Brother entertained the sons to chant poems in the north of the Yingzhu Pavilion, let's play ours in the south of the Zhaoshui Pavilion, across a lake, and will not disturb, nor will we collide, we accidentally laughed and collided with the nobles." ”

There is another benefit. After hearing this, Hui Zhi thought silently in her heart, such a banquet in the capital was originally a good time for the ladies of each family to look at each other for their children, so far away from the pavilion across the water, especially the soft smoke hanging in the water pavilion, the girls just happened to be able to look at the young sons, and the men over there would not see the faces of the girls at a glance.

There is room for it, it is novel and decent, and the person who came up with this method is very ingenious.

After a break, the girls went to the attic of the Nanyuan near the flowers and water, and went around the rockery of Taihu Lake to enjoy it carefully.

Across the lake, you can already vaguely see a group of young people in the bamboo pavilion facing the bamboo forest next to it, or painting, or inscription, and chanting poetry softly, so elegant.

Nian Fan remembered the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the attic just now, and was a little eager to try, but before he could speak, Shen Rui stepped forward and grabbed Miss Su's sleeve and said, "I have long heard that all the sisters also have their own talents, why don't we also test the written test?"

Then he took off the mutton fat jade bracelet on his wrist, "I will use this as a lottery head, whoever wins me, this will be given to whom!"

The little girls are competing for the competitive age, as soon as they heard her say this, they all chattered to cater to it, and when they saw that the atmosphere was very good, they said: "I just saw a piano in the attic, why don't you move it to the pavilion and listen to the sound of the water, it is the most graceful." ”

Miss Su looked at the second girl, Yu Niang nodded, so she ordered the maid next to her to carry a few musical instruments here.

In the Yingzhu Pavilion, the third prince Yu Wenmin had just put down his pen and made a picture of green bamboo, and he heard a sound like flowing water in his ears.

It's a song of mountains and flowing water. The mountains are majestic, and the flowing water is clear.

What's even better is that reflecting the light of the lake and the color of the water, the sound of the piano is even more moving.

He unconsciously looked at the place where the sound of the piano came, and saw that in the pavilion on the opposite side of the lake, through the faint gauze curtain, there was a young girl sitting in it, combing her hair in a bun, and her sideburns were decorated with pearls, a moon-white jacket, a cinnamon-colored armor, and a silver-red long skirt, reflected in the halo of soft smoke and concubine, which was incomparably beautiful.
