Chapter 255: Rewarding the Lotus
The old lady didn't force Wang Xiuying to ask for an answer, but looking at Wang Xiuying's bone-chested eyes, she knew that she was a child who was willing to think and be transparent, even if she couldn't think very thoroughly, she must still have some sense of proportion in her heart.

Let people invite Mrs. Zhang, and on the 24th, Zhang will take the sisters in the house to the Xuanping Bo Mansion to attend the meeting.
On the 24th, the five unmarried sisters in the house, except for Wang Xiuting, who was imprisoned in the family temple, arrived at Mingxin Hall early in full dress.
Looking at the flower-like granddaughters, the smile on the old lady's face deepened a lot, but when Wang Xiuting was mentioned, the smile on her face faded, and she took on a few sterns: "You all remember, if Mrs. Xuan Pingbo asks about Sister Ting, you need to tell her that Sister Ting dreamed of her mother at night a few days ago, and you want to pray for her mother to bless Qingxiu in March." ”
"The granddaughter remembers, and the grandmother is relieved." Wang Xiushan assured the old lady on behalf of her younger sisters.
With Wang Xiushan's assurance, the old lady turned her eyes to Zhang.
Zhang's smiled gently: "Don't worry, Sister Ting's filial piety is touching, and Mrs. Xuan Pingbo will definitely empathize." ”
When the group of Changning Bo Mansion arrived at Xuanping Bo Mansion, it was the same as usual, and the time was just right.
Dingping Bofu is thin, Peng's only has one daughter, Chen Hui, one son, Chen Pingxuan, and one other concubine, but this concubine is still young, and the concubine is still a milk doll, and the concubine is only four years old, and she can't entertain Peng's family.
For today's lotus appreciation party, Peng specially asked Chen Hui, who had been married for many years, to come back as a helper.
Chen Hui has been married for many years and has two sons.
Today, Peng's invited all teenage girls, and there is no common language between them and Chen Hui for a long time.
Fortunately, the families and officials in the capital have their own social circles, and after the girls followed their respective elders to meet the Peng family, they were taken by Chen Hui to the lotus lake.
The girls found their friends, or in the shade of the trees or in the small pavilions, in twos and threes, and few of them really admired the lotus flowers in the lake, and the lotus appreciation was just a reason.
"Sister Hui, look at your sweaty body, take a break and drink a cup of herbal tea." Chen Hui finally got free time and came to the shade of Wang Xiuying and the others, Wang Xiushan hurriedly took a cup of herbal tea and handed it to her.
"Thank you, Sister Shan!" Chen Hui poured herbal tea into his stomach in one gulp, obviously hot and thirsty.
Seeing that Chen Hui still wanted to drink again, Wang Xiuying hurriedly persuaded her: "Sister Hui, don't drink anymore, sit down for a while and drink again, be careful of hurting your stomach." ”
"Okay, listen to Sister Ying'er, don't drink it yet." Chen Hui smiled and put down the teacup that had been held.
Thinking of Wang Xiuying's family affairs that have been decided, she can't help but feel sorry for her younger brother, but she also knows the meaning of her own mother's mother, and she doesn't look down on Wang Xiuying who is a concubine at all, and she wants to marry a high-ranking daughter-in-law back.
Sighing secretly in her heart, Chen Hui smiled and congratulated Wang Xiuying: "I haven't congratulated Cousin Ying yet, but when will I set a small date?" ”
Wang Xiuying's face was slightly red, and Wang Xiushan preemptively said: "There are four days left to let go of Xiaoding." ”
"Twenty-eight, good day! Congratulations to Cousin Ying! Chen Hui had a moment of flashing, but soon congratulated Wang Xiuying again.
"Thank you, Sister Hui." Wang Xiuying was shy, bowed her head slightly and thanked Chen Hui, but she was puzzled by Chen Hui's sudden flash of excitement, and an inexplicable emotion suddenly surged in her heart.
"So you're here, let's find it!" This trace of emotion was quickly dispelled by this cheerful voice, Wang Xiuying raised her eyes, and the smile on her face suddenly brightened.
It was Fang Hejie, the third lady of the Ningguo Mansion, who made the sound, and I saw her pulling Fang Hemin to run over happily.
Since saying goodbye to Mr. Han's house that day, they have not seen each other again, although it is only a short ten days, but it makes both parties feel that they have not seen each other for a long time.
There was only one stone table and four stone benches under the shade of this tree, and the four sisters of Changningbo Mansion were just enough to sit, but after Chen Hui came, Wang Xiuying let the youngest Wang Xiuzhu half lean and half sit on her own body, and the Fang sisters couldn't sit down anymore.
However, the shade of this tree is still quite large, and after Chen Hui was busy, he quickly sat down, and even Wang Xiuzhu, who was originally sitting in Wang Xiuying's arms, had her own small brocade stool.
"Xiuying, the first wine we made was opened yesterday, let me tell you, it's delicious, but I only drank a small cup, and the rest was all hidden by the second brother!" Fang Hejie leaned closer to Wang Xiuying, pouting and whispering about Fang Heyi's small situation.
It has been twenty days since they left Zhuangzi in Ningguo's mansion to take refuge in the summer, and the first batch of wine is not just right to drink, but Wang Xiuying has forgotten this stubble during this time.
Hearing Fang Hejie mention it, he couldn't help but look at Fang Hejie with a smile and said, "It's really delicious?" Then the ones brewed later should be even sweeter, remember to hide them, don't let your second brother snatch them again. ”
Speaking of the word "second brother", thinking of the owner of this "second brother", Wang Xiuying's mind flashed that demonic face, and why did Shen Fufang tell her the dream that day, her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, and her little face also burned.
Fortunately, the weather was hot, and the little face was a little red, but it didn't make people see anything abnormal.
When she mentioned other wines, Fang Hejie's face collapsed in an instant. I sighed several times in a row.
"Could it be that you haven't been able to keep any of them?" Listening to this sigh, Wang Xiuying asked in surprise.
"It's not, it's also to blame her for showing off! Her jars of wine have already entered the second brother's small wine cellar, where is her share! Fang Hemin, who was originally talking to Wang Xiushan, interjected.
"How did I know that the second brother was so unreasonable, he wasn't like this before!" Fang Hejie puffed out her face and threw a roll of her eyes at Fang Hemin, and suddenly her eyes rolled and turned around Wang Xiuying's arm: "Xiuying, I remember that you brought back several jars that day, leave me one altar, just one altar, okay." ”
Fang Hejie is obviously older than Wang Xiuying, but she just crutches Wang Xiuying's arm and is cute, Wang Xiuying is really a little overwhelmed, so she has to nod and respond: "Okay, good, but if I give it to you, can you keep it?" ”
Fang Hejie's face stiffened slightly, and after a while, her eyes lit up and said, "When you are resting, I will go to your house to find you to drink!" Hmph, so the second brother can't snatch it away! ”
He smiled smugly.
Chen Hui sat quietly on the side, watching the interaction between Wang Xiuying and the two sisters in the Principality of Ning's Mansion, unable to tell what it was like in her heart.
Chen Pingxuan's thoughts on Wang Xiuying, where she will be a sister will not know, but their mother has cut off Chen Pingxuan's way of courtship, I don't know what kind of turmoil Chen Pingxuan will cause after returning to Beijing!
Chen Hui's gaze swept over the noble girls by the lotus pond one by one.
Today, almost all the nobles in the capital are concentrated here, I don't know which one her mother will choose, and her younger brother, who has always looked at Wang Xiuying differently, will be as her mother wishes?
Chen Hui sighed faintly, and was about to retract his gaze, when he suddenly frowned, and his eyes were fixed on the rockery not far away, where a figure had just flashed......
