Zhou Huaiyu's tone was full of anticipation, so that the two little girls also began to look forward to the bonfire banquet in the evening, chatting about the sky and no longer mentioning the topic just now.

The carriage swayed, and sure enough, it had been walking for nearly an hour, and finally the coachman was heard shouting, "It's here!"

Zhou Huaiyu immediately pushed the car door and jumped out of the carriage. She used to travel, and if she could not take a carriage, she would not take a carriage, because the carriage here had so poor shock absorption that it made her dizzy every time.

As far as the eye can see, there are many carriages parked around, all of which are girls from various families who have come to participate in the plum banquet. Zhou Huaiyu didn't see his acquaintances, so he instructed the coachman a few words, and then took Xiao Tao and Yue'er into Meizhuang. Because they were going to stay here for one night at night, the first thing the three of them did was to find a place to live, but fortunately, everything here was readily available, and the three of them took the post and got a small room.

Yue'er and Xiao Taomali made the bed and burned charcoal, cleaned it briefly, and then the three of them came to the backyard of Meizhuang in anticipation.

The plum village as a whole is east-west, roughly divided into three parts, a small front yard, two rows of side rooms for accommodation, and a backyard full of various varieties of plum blossoms, and everyone comes to the plum village to enjoy the plum blossoms, but also to see the scenery of the backyard.

It is said that if you line up the plum trees in Meizhuang, you can circle the imperial city three times.

Zhou Huaiyu and the three of them came all the way, and they were full of praise for the plum blossoms blooming here, and they all said that this time it was not in vain. Zhou Huaiyu, who was a little nervous because of something in his heart, became extremely quiet and more determined when he saw these plum blossoms quietly blooming in the bitter cold.

Yue'er is the most observant, so she found an opportunity to ask quietly, "Girl, do you have something on your mind?"

Zhou Huaiyu was stunned and shook his head.

"I see that you have been a little absent-minded since you came out today, and you have only recovered your former indifference since you came here...... Girl, if you have something that Yue'er needs to do, even if it is to go to the palace to find out the news, Yue'er will find a way to find out for you!"

Zhou Huaiyu smiled and nodded Yue'er's head: "You little girl, your tone is not small, let people hear, be careful that you lose your head!" Seeing that Yue'er was about to speak, Zhou Huaiyu hurriedly interrupted: "I'm really fine, but I couldn't figure out one thing just now, but after looking at these arrogant Hanmei, I suddenly felt that those were nothing, so it's okay now!" After speaking, he took the lead and walked away, going to another place where there were more people to enjoy the plums, and he didn't notice that Yue'er's beautiful eyebrows behind him were wrinkling tighter and tighter, and there was a thick worry in his eyes.

As soon as Zhou Huaiyu approached that place, someone immediately recognized her, and immediately greeted her loudly: "Sister Zhou of Wu'an Houfu is here, the sisters were still talking about you just now!"

It was none other than Chen Xiran, the girl from Lord Chen's family.

Chen Xiran and Zhou Huaiyu hit each other last time, and the two often exchanged letters, but they have not met since that time. Before coming, Zhou Huaiyu thought that he didn't know if he could see Chen Xiran this time, but who knew that he would see it.

"Sister Chen. Zhou Huaiyu had a smile on his face, and shook hands with Chen Xiran who came over, and the intimate appearance of the two made others look a little stunned.

Chen Xiran took the initiative to explain: "I invited Sister Zhou to my house to play before, Sister Zhou admired the light, and I felt very close to Sister Zhou as soon as I saw it. ”

After the relationship with Chen Xiran deepened, Zhou Huaiyu has already seen that although Chen Xiran usually "speaks without brains", in fact, she has a wonderful thinking and a delicate heart, which is similar to her father Chen's "uprightness" in the court. At the same time, it is precisely because of this that Zhou Huaiyu likes to associate with Chen Xiran, otherwise, if Chen Xiran is really a stupid big sister, she may not be able to avoid it.

"Miss Zhou in Wu'anhou Mansion doesn't move around often, and all the sisters want to be close to Miss Zhou and have no chance, today, we can't let Miss Zhou leave, we have to accompany Miss Zhou to enjoy the plum blossoms. ”

There are girls in the crowd who said this, Zhou Huaiyu swept his eyes, although he basically didn't know each other, but he also judged that the families of these girls were not a rich and noble family in the capital, at most they were upper, middle and upper, just looking at their slightly flattering look towards Chen Xiran, it could be judged that these girls came to participate in such a banquet because they wanted to make some valuable "girlfriends".

So, Zhou Huaiyu was dragged by Chen Xiran and hung out with the girls. But as I walked around, I met another group of girls.

Zhou Huaiyu recognized at a glance that the one who was surrounded by everyone in the middle was also a Chen girl, but this Chen girl was much more valuable than Chen Xiran's identity, because she was the granddaughter of Chen Ge Lao, Chen Yingying.

The reason why Zhou Huaiyu was able to recognize Chen Yingying at a glance was because a long time ago, the third princess invited everyone to climb the mountain in Xishan Garden, and that time she took Bai Susu, Bai Susu was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and she was ridiculed by a group of girls led by this Chen Yingying.

Chen Yingying obviously also recognized Zhou Huaiyu, because she could get the noble girl valued by the third princess, and the capital was full of money, and there were few of them.

"Yo, isn't this Miss Zhou from Wu'an Hou's Mansion, why is she so interested in coming out for a walk today, I remember that the third princess said before that Miss Zhou didn't like to travel, and even the princess was invited again and again to go to the appointment!"

The fact that Zhou Huaiyu is a friend of the third princess is no secret in the circle of noble ladies in the capital, but for most of the girls on Zhou Huaiyu's side, it is still a new thing, so for a while, many people around looked at Zhou Huaiyu's eyes with stars, flashing and flashing.

"Miss Chen laughed, the third princess is used to making jokes about Huaiyu, just talk about it, but the princess can say it casually, Miss Chen can't say it casually, if you make the girls mistakenly think that Huaiyu is a person who doesn't know the number of etiquette, Huaiyu will not rely on Miss Chen!" Zhou Huaiyu replied without softness or hardness, which made Chen Yingying's face fall immediately.

"Sister Zhou, I can prove that you are not that kind of person, last time I invited you once, you went!" Chen Xiran suddenly opened his mouth at this time, which made the atmosphere even more stiff, Chen Yingying's mouth was pursed, and she glared at Chen Xiran angrily.

Zhou Huaiyu smiled slightly, with Chen Xiran's emotional intelligence, she would never say this sentence at this time, but she just said it to embarrass Chen Yingying, it can only be that Chen Xiran can't get used to Chen Yingying, or Chen Xiran and Chen Yingying have a grudge early on, and then take this opportunity to do it deliberately.
