Wang was in confinement, and the work of entertaining the guests was handed over to Mrs. Tuesday and Hui Zhi. Fortunately, Hui Zhi has been helping to preside over the family feeding for some time, and the tea and dishes have been disposed of in a decent manner.

After the feast, the ladies walked around the courtyard and took in the scenery.

For some reason, Hui Zhi didn't sleep well last night, and she felt a little unstable at this time, but she didn't know why.

Xiao Er's wife, Bai Shi, walked over with a smile on her face and asked Hui Zhi, "I have heard that the garden on the Cheng'an Hou Mansion is very beautiful, I wonder if the sixth girl can take me around to have a look?"

The door is a guest, since this Second Mrs. Xiao has made a request, Hui Zhi naturally does not agree, but there are many guests in the hall, so Hui Zhi left Pei Lan and Fang in Jiamutang to help Mrs. Tuesday continue to entertain guests, and she took Ah Man to accompany Second Mrs. Xiao to the courtyard for a walk.

Second Mrs. Xiao chatted with her without a match: "The sixth girl is really beautiful and well-behaved, and she is generous, if it weren't for the Pei family's early appointment, I would still want to marry the sixth girl for my youngest son." ”

Hui Zhi frowned, this Bai family, how can she speak so indiscriminately? Just in front of everyone, it was just the face of the Yang family, and now she was just with her cronies and maids, and she talked about family affairs with a little girl like this... Where is the style of the wife?

However, Hui Zhi only listened to Hui Zhu's words to tell her. The Xiao family is naturally Mrs. Xiao presiding over the middle feed, and although Mrs. Xiao is the daughter of the Bai family, I heard that she is a concubine, so she naturally can't be the wife of the family. Mrs. Xiao gave birth to a pair of children, a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, but it is a pity that her son is not good at learning, and he is not willing to take the imperial examination, and he is not willing to seriously practice martial arts with General Xiao.

Second Mrs. Xiao saw that Hui Zhi was silent, but when she was shy and embarrassed, she took Hui Zhi's hand and walked to the yard. walked to a place called Zhaohua Pavilion, gently rubbed his waist and said, "Ouch, this person, he is old." I won't be able to walk much, so why don't the sixth girls sit here with me for a while and then go back?"

The visitor was a guest, and Hui Zhi had no choice but to respond," the lady said with a smile. You look like a girl, you look a lot younger than my mother, where are you older?" Then asked Aman to call a little girl next to him to fetch some tea and pastries, and then sat down in the pavilion with Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao didn't like this-Wang's old mussel got pearls, but the six girls said that she was younger than the Wang family, but she hadn't had children for many years.

People say that the six girls in the Hou Mansion of Cheng'an are delicate, and their parents are arrogant in their pampering and raising, and now it seems. But it's true.

Just sitting down, Hui Zhi felt that something was wrong.

The Zhaohua Pavilion is in the northernmost part of the garden, even if Mrs. Xiao has been here, she shouldn't look so familiar with the distance... How could he talk and pull her straight this way?

Mrs. Xiao Er also held Hui Zhi's hand and chatted about family life: "Tut-tut, the sixth girl must have been working as a female worker a lot recently, look at this hand, there are so many needle holes...... If that girl in my family works hard, I don't have to worry so much about her marriage. ”

Hui Zhi gently withdrew her hand and said lightly: "A few days ago, the eldest princess rewarded a bracelet of coral beads, saying that Master Spiegel had opened it. I thought it would be better to embroider a Buddhist scripture by hand, and found an opportunity to honor the eldest princess. ”

The girl born to the second wife of the Xiao family is the same as her brother who is a dragon and phoenix - she was born in the family, but she despises people who are in the army, and wants to learn from the girl who is a scholar. But the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not perfect.

Hui Zhi listened to Hui Zhu talk about this pair of brothers and sisters, and only felt that this second Mrs. Xiao really had no ability, and a pair of children were not well raised.

Hui Zhi looked around quietly, and saw a figure walking this way, and her heart was shocked, and her heart was not good--in the garden of the inner courtyard. How could a man come this way?

When I looked closely, it was actually a servant in the courtyard of the second uncle.

I don't know why it's quiet in the garden.

Speaking of Lingren, the first thing Hui Zhi can think of is red medicine. At this moment, a servant suddenly appeared in the backyard, still wearing makeup, and hurriedly walked towards the Zhaohua Pavilion, and Hui Zhi subconsciously wanted to stand up.

And although the Zhaohua Pavilion is a little remote in the northernmost part of the courtyard, there are mothers-in-law on duty on the road on weekdays...... Today, even if they are all transferred to the front because of the washing of the three banquets, there is no one in the garden who is waiting!

The man dressed as a servant got closer and closer, and Hui Zhi glanced at Mrs. Xiao, if she didn't have any premeditated intentions at this time, the ghost would believe it!

But Second Mrs. Xiao was also followed by a strong... The maid is tall and big, with rough fingers, not at all like the big maid who waits closely next to Mrs. Neizhai.

Hui Zhi settled down, and angrily rebuked the servant who came over: "What is the crime of daring to run into the garden and bump into the distinguished guest?

Unexpectedly, the servant actually smiled, and approached, and his voice was long and crisp: "The sixth girl should be more careful." ”

What she said was exactly the same as what she said before she went to Su's house for the banquet, when Hongyao hung her eyes.

Hui Zhi couldn't help but be surprised, got up and was about to call someone over, but when she spoke again, she didn't expect a pain in the back of her neck, and the whole person fainted.

Second Mrs. Xiao hurriedly asked the maid next to her and the servant to walk towards the back door with half support and half hugging Hui Zhi.

Zhaohua Pavilion is in the northernmost part of the garden, and then walk two steps to the corner, is the small corner gate in the garden, the mother-in-law who guards the door in the corner gate has already been knocked out by their people and replaced it with a similar-looking mother-in-law, and now I saw a few people coming, and hurriedly opened the corner door to welcome them out.

Outside the corner gate is a small alley, remote and desolate, with little people.

A few people got into the carriage, and Mrs. Xiao helped the maid down again. There was another square-faced mother-in-law in the car and a girl with thick hands and feet, took out a satin rope to tie up Huizhi's hands and feet, and asked in a low voice, "Second wife, can you take a closer look?"

Mrs. Xiao raised her eyebrows and smiled enchantingly: "Mom, don't worry." She has five fingers pierced in her hands, embroidered? Which girl is so big, embroidery can make five holes in her hand? Not to mention that the eldest girl has already drunk five clothes? Just five fingers, she can't be wrong. ”

The corner of the woman's mouth grinned, and she smiled happily, "The second wife will go back quickly, and the province will be seen." ”

Second Mrs. Xiao looked at the unconscious Hui Zhi, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she sneered and held the maid's hand and walked into the courtyard from the corner gate. (To be continued.) )
