Chapter 187: Walking in the Garden

The "Qingxuan Pavilion" also ran out of lunch, and the men picked up the famous poems and paintings and commented on them one by one. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are not many excellent works of peony painting, and it only takes a moment to get out of the top few.

A scholar sighed: "This picture was originally good, the peony is fresh and smart, and the ink is thick and light, but unfortunately there is a failure on this petal." He was talking about Tu Manfen's peony picture.

The rest of the scholars also nodded, and in this way, Cao Qinghui's peony painting was the first, Princess Zhaoyang's was the second, and Tu Manfen's was the third.

In the peony poems, there are frequent masterpieces and controversies. A group of people fought for red-facedness.

Some people advocate the sentence "Only the peony is true to the country", some think that "it is suspected to be the work of the goddess of Luochuan, and the beauty of the peony is written in a thousand beautiful states", and some think that "the flower heart is sad and wants to break, and the spring color does not know the heart" is a good sentence, and no one can convince anyone.

They each pasted gold leaf peonies on the poems to calculate the rankings. Although Fan Bin doesn't understand poetry, he naturally voted for Xu Wanzhen, and of course King Qi will not brush his good intentions on this little thing, and be kind as a stream.

In the last count, Xu Wanzhen received the most votes, followed by Cao Qinghui, the third place was Princess Zhaoyang, and Tu Manfen unfortunately became the fourth place.

Shi Jingze was already bored, so he voted at random, sued the prince, and then threw off his steps, and Shi Shiran came out of the "Qingxuan Pavilion" alone.

The prince is not with him, his goal has been achieved, and he needs to plot slowly, and it is not the best strategy to keep an eye on people.

Shi Jingze carried a wine jug in his hand, walked casually in this garden, and impatiently said to Hu San, who was following him: "What do you follow me? ”

Hu San said with a bitter face: "When I went out, the old lady instructed that I had to follow the prince every step of the way." ”

Shi Jingze snorted coldly and said, "You have to listen to the old lady's orders, and you will be regarded as the wind in your ears when the master's orders are ordered?"

Hu San complained bitterly in his heart, how could he dare to provoke this master? But if something happened to the prince, how could he bear it. Although he knew that Shi Jingze was displeased, he could only stay far behind him.

But seeing a delicate rockery in front of him, Shi Jingze went around, and there was no half of a figure. Hu San was in a hurry, looking around to no avail, so he had to return to the "Qingxuan Pavilion" first, and said in his heart, the prince will always come back when he has dispersed enough, just wait.

As soon as Hu San left, Shi Jingze flashed out from behind the rockery, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to himself: "This is finally clean." ”

Looking at the flowery scene in front of him, he walked aimlessly along the path under his feet, and unconsciously walked out of the peony garden and into a remote apricot blossom forest. Summer is approaching, and most of this apricot blossom has withered. The breeze blows, the remaining petals fall from the trees, and the falling flowers are beautiful and beautiful, which makes him feel refreshed.

Along the way, he had drunk most of the wine in the pot. At this time, fatigue was rising, Shi Jingze looked around, this was a good place to be clean. Lifting his breath, he jumped on a leafy apricot blossom tree, causing most of the petals to fall again.

On the branches of the apricot blossom tree, he found a comfortable position, smelling the fragrance of apricot blossoms, Shi Jingze took advantage of the wine and fell asleep beautifully.

Wu Zhengxiang came out of the "Qingxuan Pavilion", and listened to the report of the wind group shadow guard that Tong Huachi had never been out of the tea shop so far, and his heart settled down. I think there will be no more changes in this "Peony Flower Club", but there will definitely be changes in the next emperor's birthday.

He thought secretly, it seems that he will step up the deployment and complete the layout in the next two days, and he must capture Tong Huachi in one fell swoop. But right now, he has stolen half a day of leisure. After instructing the shadow guard to continue to be vigilant, he turned back to the room and said to Wu Sheng: "Big brother, I'll introduce you to someone." ”

Xu Wanzhen, although it is his weakness, he does not intend to hide it from his eldest brother. First, if he wants to marry her into the door, he must obtain Wu Sheng's support; second, Wu Sheng has a downright character and acts secretly, and he will never leak half of his words.

The two were in the same room, Wu Zhengxiang did not hide it, Wu Sheng saw his demeanor clearly, and said with a teasing smile: "But that Miss Xu?"

Thinking of Xu Wanzhen, Wu Zhengxiang's handsome face was slightly red. For the first time in eighteen years, when he saw him tempted by a woman, Wu Sheng couldn't help laughing, and the two went out together.

Fang Cai Wu Zhengxiang was already at the shadow guard, and when he learned Xu Wanzhen's location, he took the lead in moving forward.

Mrs. Anping Hou watched the play in the back garden, and her eldest daughter-in-law Gao was waiting. The second son-in-law Liu, the eldest daughter-in-law Cheng Huixin, Tu Manfen, and Tu Manzhen walked in front, Xu Wanzhen and Wang Miaoyan followed, and the group came to the pavilion in the northwest of the peony garden.

The maid of the princess's mansion stepped forward, put velvet on the pavilion, and everyone sat down and brought tea up. The hospitality of this princess's mansion is really incomparably thoughtful, making people feel like a spring breeze.

As soon as he sat down, Cheng Jingtong, the little marquis of the Anping Hou Mansion, and Cheng Jinghao, the second room, walked over. Although the two of them are foreign men, it is not rude to have elders here.

Cheng Jingtong stepped forward with a smile, saluted Liu, and said, "Second uncle is good." ”

Cheng Jinghao followed behind, and Shi Li said, "I've seen my mother." His eyes kept looking at Tu Manfen.

When Tu Manfen came over, he knew that he had deliberately created an opportunity for them to meet each other. Sitting with shyness in his eyes, the corner of his eye saw that he kept looking over, and he was even more embarrassed, and turned his body slightly.

That Cheng Jinghao saw his fiancée recently, and he was very satisfied. The last time I saw her was more than a year ago, when we saw each other. Compared with the beginning, Tu Manfen has a little more graceful demeanor, and he can't take his eyes off the shy and timid style.

Although she is not high, she is extremely noble and beautiful. Judging by her demeanor at this time, she should be a gentle and virtuous person, and this grandmother's family affair seems to be extremely right.

He rolled his eyes to two other strange women he didn't know.

Cheng Huixin stepped forward and said, "This is the second lady of the Tu family, the eldest brother and the third brother must have seen it?"

Cheng Jingtong and Cheng Jinghao nodded, although they were not familiar with each other, they had already become in-laws, and they had also walked around each other during the New Year's Festival, and they had more or less seen each other.

"This is the eldest lady of the Xu family, and this is the eldest lady of the Wang family. Cheng Huixin immediately introduced, but it was inconvenient to reveal her name.

As in-laws, the two still heard of the Xu family, who only arrived in the capital a few days ago. The two sides greeted each other, Cheng Jinghao looked at Xu Wanzhen, and sighed in his heart, what an elegant and refined woman, I couldn't help but look at it twice.

Tu Manzhen saw it in her eyes, and she was more and more dissatisfied with Xu Wanzhen. Fang was in the limelight, and now he seduced his brother-in-law again, glaring at Xu Wanzhen hatefully.

Wang Miaoyan looked at her look in her eyes and had a plan in her heart. whispered to Xu Wanzhen: "A foreign man is here, but it is inconvenient for us to be here." Why don't we go out for a walk, the princess's mansion is so big, it's good to open your eyes. ”

Without waiting for Xu Wanzhen to agree, she whispered to Tu Manzhen: "Second Miss Tu, the three of us sisters are redundant here, can we go out for a walk?"
