I only heard the ringing sound, and a gust of fragrant wind hit, Xu Wanzhen raised her eyes and saw that everyone was surrounded by two noble ladies and walked in. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info This is the first time she has seen a lady in Beijing, and she is really hugging each other, and her style is extraordinary.

Tu Manfen hurriedly stood up and saluted one of the noblewomen: "I have seen Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Gao, and Mrs. Liu. ”

Mrs. Anping Houlin combed her high bun and surrounded her with pearls, pulled a mud gold dark pattern shawl, helped Tu Manfen and said with a smile: "Get up quickly, it's not an outsider." ”

In one sentence, Tu Manfen's cheeks flew red clouds, this Mrs. Liu is her future mother-in-law, and Mrs. Lin is her mother-in-law, and she is really not an outsider.

There are two sons in law in Anping Houfu, and the daughter-in-law of the big house is the daughter of the Changping Houfu, Gao, and the relationship between the two families is the best in the Hou Mansion, so they came together this time. The second son-in-law is the second daughter of the Pingguo Mansion, Liu, and the marriage between the high families is intertwined.

It was not surprising to see people from my in-laws' family here. Her mother, Li, mentioned to her that because there were no elders in the family, she entrusted Mrs. Liu to take care of her at the flower party.

When the two Mrs. Hou arrived, all the women in the house put down their belongings and stepped forward to salute, which was very lively for a while.

Mrs. Liu took Tu Manfen's arm and said with a smile: "I haven't seen it for a long time, but my complexion is getting better and better." ”

Tu Manfen was ashamed, and a girl in a goose yellow dress quipped: "Mother, the future sister-in-law is shy." This is Cheng Huixin, the eldest daughter of the Liu family, she and Tu Manfen have met a few times in the past, and the two are more familiar than others.

Everyone sat down one after another, and at this time, there were more than ten ladies and ladies alone, plus their respective maids and maids from the princess's mansion, there were twenty or thirty people. The originally spacious Accord became crowded.

Cheng Huixin ignored Tu Manfen's objection and pulled her to sit on the side of Anping's maiden. There are only Tu Manzhen and Xu Wanzhen left at the round table here.

Tu Manzhen has always looked at Xu Wan really unpleasantly, hanging her head and fiddling with the backgammon pieces on the table, bored.

With so many people indoors, incense is popular nowadays, and the incense on Mrs. Lady's body is mixed with the aroma of fat powder, which washes the incense in the room to a faint smell. The fragrance was complicated, which made Xu Wan really angry, and whispered to Tu Manzhen: "Second cousin, you see that there are two of us here, and I am afraid it is not good to occupy this table." ”

Tu Manzhen looked around, the round tables were all occupied, one from the Anping Hou Mansion, one from the Changping Hou Mansion, one from Tang Yuanyao's side, and one from the Cao family. The two of them are indeed a little conspicuous. If a guest arrives, his status must be far beyond his own, and it will be even more embarrassing to give way at that time.

Tu Manzhen lowered her voice and said, "It's really inappropriate, how are you?"

"The windows over there are good, and you can also see the scenery, what does the second cousin think?"

After Tu Manzhen nodded, Xu Wanzhen asked Cai Si to invite the maid of the princess's mansion to come over, and said, "This sister is invited, and our sisters want to move to the window over there." ”

The maid was exquisite, and at first glance she knew why, and stepped forward with a smile, and removed the tea and Shuanglu from the round table. After they chose a table under the window, they sat down and served tea again.

Changing the location, there was fresh air by the window and the fragrance of plants and flowers outside, Xu Wan really felt much refreshed, and sat quietly and watched the scenery.

But where is Tu Manzhen who can be idle? She sat under the window, just in front of the unobstructed view of everyone in the room. I saw the fragrance of clothes and sideburns, and everyone laughed and feasted.

On the other hand, he was left aside, and he didn't know a few people, so he could only sit with this Xu Wanzhen, in an embarrassing situation, and couldn't help but hate in his heart. Thinking of Tang Yuanyao's ridicule before, he blamed Xu Wanzhen, and her heart was that her merchant status had affected her, otherwise she would have been able to get to know at least a few boudoir ladies with comparable status.

Not long after, two waves of female guests came in one after another, both of whom were of much higher status than Tu Manzhen, and they came forward to salute with the women, and sat under the window. Seeing Xu Wan's indifference, she couldn't help but feel depressed.

Seeing that the missing moment was pointing to two o'clock, a lively and pleasing maid came in outside the door, which was the spring warbler that Xu Wanzhen knew. She smiled and saluted everyone: "Ladies and misses, please come with me to the 'Shuyu Xuan'. ”

Although there are many people in the Accord, it is orderly at the moment. Needless to say, the one with the highest status stood up first, walked in front, and the rest walked in turn. Tu Manfen walked with the female dependents of Anping Houfu, glanced at Tu Manzhen, and signaled her to keep to herself. At the end, Tang Yuanyao and Tu Manfen and Xu Wanzhen were the last.

Tang Yuanyao took the lead with the large number of people, and glanced at them with a smile and defiantly.

Tu Manzhen couldn't help but feel depressed, but Xu Wanzhen was so happy. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zesi whispered in her ear, introducing the female guests she recognized one by one. Only then did she know that at today's flower party, all the people who came were Mrs. Chang, and none of the concubines had ever appeared.

Following everyone, Xu Wanzhen walked slowly, the identities of these people in front of her, except for the Dingguo Mansion, there was no other female dependent. If you want to come to this Accord, the highest status is only Mrs. Houfu.

In this flower party, I will be a hospitable person quietly. I don't know when Wu Zhengxiang appeared? He said that he came to see him at the flower party, but he hadn't seen him for several days. Xu Wanzhen gently squeezed his hand, it turned out that the imprint on his heart was already so deep.

"Shuyuxuan" is located by the stream, consisting of a large open hall and two small halls.

When everyone stepped into the small hall, they saw that the precious peonies brought by each province to fight flowers were displayed here, and the room was full of fragrant fragrance. The four famous products of Yao Huang, Wei Zi, Doulu, and Zhao Fen, which are rarely seen on weekdays, are all listed, and there is more than one pot. There are also two Qiao, Yulou Chun, Xiangyu and so on.

Under each pot of flowers is tied a rosewood card, on which the words "Dingguo Mansion", "Qi Wang's Mansion", and "Anping Marquis Mansion" are written in small letters, which should be the corresponding mansion.

Xu Wanzhen looked at the past one by one, and there was a rare green dragon lying ink pool and a pot of crown ink jade, and the wooden plaques hanging below were respectively "Prince's Mansion" and "Qi Wang's Mansion".

It turned out that the prince was also here, and Xu Wan was secretly thinking in her heart. Come to think of it, no matter how openly and secretly fighting, this brother and brother on the bright side still have to be pretending.

Turning the flower hall, I entered the open hall, and my eyes suddenly opened up. It was a very spacious place, with a murmuring stream in front of it, bamboo curtains rolled up on all sides, and soft lilac smoke rising and falling in the wind. Looking out, there is a large area of peony flowers, and there are various koi swimming under the window, and the scenery is excellent.

At this time, spring has passed, summer has not yet arrived, and the breeze flows in the open pavilion, bringing bursts of floral fragrance, which is the best time of the year to enjoy the scenery.
