Chapter 148: Godgranddaughter
Yu felt that his son was loose, and he ran more and more diligently to the Guogong Mansion. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info all the people in the mansion didn't know what she had in mind, and they all sneered behind her back, "Leper clams ~ toads want to eat swan meat".
There are also some bystanders who inquire around the corner, revealing the meaning of wanting to make a fortune, either they are breaking down, or they are people who eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and do not work. Everyone knew in their hearts that Mrs. An would not give the only bloodline of the Xie family to this kind of person no matter what, so no one would report it to Mrs. An about it.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to watch the lotus festival, because it was a water feast, and the banquet would not be held until the evening, and Mulan still went to school in the first afternoon. After eating lunch and taking a nap for half an hour, I started to make up after I got up.
This time there is also the meaning of a blind date, although Mrs. An did not think about setting up a family affair for Mulan at this moment, but Mrs. Chang worked hard to help manage it, and she always had to do enough work on the face, so she ordered to go down early to tailor and make jewelry for Mulan.
Mulan was dressed very plainly when she went out the first few times, but this time she deliberately dressed up in bright light. On top is a red narrow-sleeved shirt, and below is a twelve-piece woven gold Xiangfei skirt. Because of the heat, he didn't deserve the wide belt, so he only put a string of beaded long chains on the high waistline. The high bun is coiled, the hairpin on the head, the pendant on the ear, and the bracelet on the wrist are all a complete set of lotus head jewelry embedded in the southern pearl.
She was born generous, and the light and bright colors stood out on her, especially the red. When this body was dressed, it was dignified and luxurious, and even Mrs. An nodded and said "good" when she saw it.
The Chang family invited many guests to the banquet this time, so it was not organized in the house, but in the Zhuangzi outside the city. This Zhuangzi was given by the Holy God after he ascended the throne, located in the upper reaches of the Furong River, built on the mountain, and the scenery is very beautiful.
The Furong River was originally not called this name, but because there are countless people boating in the river every year during the Lotus Festival, people changed it to the Furong River, and the old name was forgotten. Chang's Zhuangzi takes the Furong River as the source, diverts the living water into it, digs a ditch and encloses the pond, grows lotus and stores fish, repairs a rockery and chisels a fountain, and turns this place into an excellent place to spend summer and escape the heat.
Zhuangzi is not far from the city, and it is less than half an hour by car, and it is faster to ride a horse. Mulan met many people who went to the banquet like her along the way, and when they saw that it was the carriage and horse of the Guogong Mansion, they all avoided it.
Zhao Chonghua came early this time, and there was talk about Mulan's recruitment everywhere, she couldn't bear to listen, so she greeted the guests at the door with Mrs. Chang's eldest daughter-in-law. From a distance, he saw Mulan coming over with Mrs. An in her arms, so she took three steps and ran over in two steps.
After saying hello, taking advantage of Mrs. An's greetings with Mrs. Chang, she whispered to Mulan and reminded her: "You have to pay attention, there are many people with long mouths and tongues." ”
Mulan didn't need to ask to guess what those people with long mouths were chewing, and smiled at Zhao Chonghua, "Tell them to say, can they still have less meat?"
"You can think about it. Zhao Chonghua sighed, and saw that Mrs. An had been led inside by his subordinates, so he swallowed back the words behind.
As soon as she stepped into the Water Pavilion, Mulan felt something unusual, she was still smiling and lively, but the atmosphere was frozen for a moment because of her arrival. Dozens or hundreds of eyes converged on her body, and she could continue to talk and laugh as usual, and if she couldn't hold it, her face was more or less sympathetic. What's more, they looked at her with inquiring eyes, as if she wanted to recruit some unsightly flaws.
She finally understood why Zhao Chonghua ran to the door to remind her, when a teenage girl is the most good-looking, but if her skin is thinner and tenderer, she can't stand this. Fortunately, she was thick-skinned enough to help Mrs. An walk in without changing her face.
Mrs. Chang saw it in her eyes, and she appreciated her even more in her heart. got up to greet each other, and when they saw each other, they took her hand and praised: "It's getting more and more signs!"
Waiting for Mulan to say with a smile, "Mrs. Chang has won the award", she turned to Mrs. An and sighed, "I am over half a hundred years old, and I don't even have a grandchild under Chenghuan's knees." Every time I see a lovely girl like Mulan, I can't wait to snatch it and treat it as my own granddaughter. ”
Mrs. An couldn't hear what she meant, and immediately smiled: "If Mrs. Chang doesn't dislike it, she will recognize her as her godgranddaughter." ”
"Really?" Mrs. Chang looked happy and hugged Mulan, "Ouch, then I earned it, and I got a big granddaughter who is both iconic and sensible." ”
Mulan knew that Mrs. Chang was making a face for her, so she hurriedly called "grandmother", and Mrs. Chang smiled with joy, and immediately took a pair of wide-brimmed red gold bracelets inlaid with sapphire from her wrist, saying that she took this as a recognition gift first, and then held a banquet another day, and officially introduced the family to her.
Those who know the opportunity should immediately say some words of congratulations. When others saw Mrs. Chang acting like this, they all quietly lost a little sympathy and exploration on their faces.
Mulan sat with Mrs. An and Mrs. Chang for a moment, and then held hands with Zhao Chonghua and went to the pile of girls in the back. Li Xi and Huang Li saw that they had moved from the other table and sat with them. During the summer solstice, they gave each other sachets and fans, and they often corresponded during this time, and several of them were already very familiar.
Li Xi is quiet and silent, but Huang Li is lively, and after sitting down, he turned to the other side, "Look, the two of them are getting better again." ”
Mulan turned her head to look over and saw Liang Yixun and Miss Xu head to head, laughing and laughing. Speaking of which, it was the first time since the flower banquet that I saw Liang Yixun on such an occasion. Because he didn't have a good impression of the two girls, he withdrew his gaze after a glance.
Zhao Chonghua furrowed his eyebrows in disgust, "Hmph, the smell is similar." ”
Huang Li heard from Zhao Chonghua that Liang Yixun and Miss Xu had slandered Mulan behind their backs, and he didn't like them, so he heard them talk sarcastically about Mulan's recruitment there, and he was so angry that he wanted to rush up to reason with them, so Li Xi stopped him persuasively.
At this time, the anger has not subsided, but I am afraid that those unpleasant words will reach Mulan's ears and make Mulan sad, so I held back and didn't say anything. In the end, I was worried and endured it for a long time, but I couldn't help but ask Mulan, "Do you really want to recruit trouble?"
"yes. Mulan replied generously, and winked playfully, "My grandmother is reluctant to let me get married." ”
Huang Liyuan also planned to explain her a few words, but seeing that she was so calm, she couldn't say some words, so she took the topic next to her, "I heard that the male guests are rowing on the lake and appreciating lotuses, chanting poems, drinking and feasting, we can also play like this." ”
The tone was full of envy.
Li Xi pursed her lips and smiled, and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, we can put the lotus lantern in the evening." ”
"Yes. Huang Li laughed again when he heard this, "I heard that making a wish is the most spiritual when you put the lotus lantern, have you all thought about what to wish?"
