30. Frightened
Only Chi Fangyun's temperament is not light, but he will retreat. After all, he came to live in the Yang family, but Chi Fangyun won it so easily-
Some time ago, due to the family ceremony, Qin Yuan took Chi Fangyun and several concubines back to his hometown Anping.
When he was about to leave for Beijing, he might as well hear an unexpected news - during the Flower Dynasty Festival, the Xunfang Garden of the Shen family in Anzhou Mansion will be open to the public for ten days.
If you want to say that Xunfang Garden, it is the most famous forest garden in Anzhou Prefecture. I'm afraid there aren't thousands of acres. It was originally the princess's courtyard of the former dynasty, which was full of strange flowers and plants, and each had its own elegance throughout the year, and the scenery was beautiful.
After the destruction of the previous dynasty, this Xunfangyuan was given by Gaozu to the British Gong Shen family, who had meritorious service from the dragon and made great contributions to the Taizheng Dynasty.
The martial artists of the Shen family can't appreciate it, but they are only given by the emperor, so they have to be carefully served as decorations. Fortunately, Mrs. Qiu of the Ziguo Mansion was in power, but she developed a wonderful feature of Xunfangyuan. That is, every time the Flower Dynasty Festival, the nobles of Anzhou and even the capital are invited to Xunfangyuan to enjoy the blessings of the imperial court.
Qiu's influence in the capital ladies is quite large, come and go, Xunfangyuan's flower festival has also become the most beautiful scenery of Anzhou Mansion, all famous families in Anzhou Mansion are proud of receiving the invitation of Xunfangyuan, and even become a business card for local wealthy families to show off to each other.
Even if the Qiu family was later stationed in the capital and no longer bothered about the affairs of Xunfangyuan, it still became a major event in Anzhou Mansion to go to Xunfangyuan during the Flower Dynasty Festival.
Only in the past few years, Xun Fang Yuan has suddenly closed for some reason, and now it is open again, and it is naturally not one or two who want to join in the fun.
Naturally, under the banner of visiting his aunt after a long absence, he would come to the Yang family in vain, and Chi Fangyun was not just for a grand event to find the flower dynasty of Fangyuan.
For people like Chi Fangyun, who regard themselves as beautiful ladies in the capital, the place is just a forest garden, no matter how miraculous it is, can it compare to the richness and prosperity of the capital? The reason why I tried my best to catch up with this event was just for a man. A beautiful man named Gu Zhun.
Speaking of Gu Zhun, he is very famous in the capital, and he is the second son of Xu Chaoyun and the Hou family of Boyang, and he is called the three major sons of the capital.
All three are from wealthy families.
The second son of Boyang Hou will not talk about it, as for Xu Chaoyun, his father is a second-class member of the dynasty, and Gu Criterion is the nephew of Ge Yulin, the head of the Internal Affairs Office. said that he was a nephew, but because his parents died when he was a child, he lived in Ge Mansion, and he was no different from the son of the Ge family.
As a trio, even if you don't do anything, you can have a happy life, but you are talented, and you are all in the examination when you are weak and crowned, and what is even more rare is that you are all beautiful, and you are really a beautiful son in the red and turbid world.
Among the three, Gu Zhun is the most handsome and graceful. At present, Xu Chaoyun is still the lord, and the second son of the Marquis of Boyang is also married to the daughter of the prince, but Gu Zhun is still Xiao Lang alone.
Chi Fangyun met Gu Zhun at a banquet last year, and her heart has been lost since then. However, the two families are too far apart, and they will never see each other again.
But for some reason, Gu Zhun not only lacked the spring of last year, but also never saw his shadow in Kyoto.
Chi Fangyun never expected that she would meet Zhou Jing by chance, and only after listening to Zhou Jing inadvertently talk about it, did she know that Gu Zhun had come back from a cloud tour, and was invited by Shen You to come to Anzhou Mansion to find Fangyuan to play.
This is not to be false, after all, Zhou Jing's brother is a rare person who has signed a contract with Gu Zhun.
Such a rare opportunity, how could Chi Fangyun miss it?
After getting the invitation for the first time, he rushed to Anzhou with Zhou Jing. Naturally, even in front of her mother, Chi Fangyun would never reveal her girlish feelings, so she indiscriminately took a visit to Gu's aunt as a prevarication, but she didn't expect to really move Qin Yuan.
Everything is in the planning, and only one thing is beyond Chi Fangyun's surprise. That is Yang Xihe's attitude.
understands that he is a little abrupt after all, and Zhou Jing's words are also suspected of offending people. In addition, it is not excluded that the other party does not understand what it means to be the daughter of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at all.
Come to think of it, such a poor and remote place, and being born in a declining family, and the only daughter in the family, how much knowledge can you have? I also heard my mother say that Yang Xihe was born with a disease, his appearance is ugly, it is difficult to find in the world, and there are people who treat people and things more extremely.
Rao is like this, but he doesn't want to be pressed for nothing.
At the moment, he didn't know about Xihe's coldness, so he only took Zhou Jing's hand and said with a smile:
"Let me introduce my sister, this sister's name is Zhou Jing, speaking of which, the family is still a little similar to our foreign family, but the things that her family manages are all tribute to the royal family-"
Is it a royal businessman? Shang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then thought of Zhou Jing's surname-
Listen to my father, isn't the most majestic imperial businessman in the capital surnamed Zhou? There is even one of his daughters who is a concubine in the palace.
Obviously seeing Shang Yan's consternation, Chi Fangyun pursed her lips slightly-as she expected, after the Yang family lost Minghu Academy, they had already fallen to the point of making a living by eating Gu Xiuyun's dowry and starting business.
didn't look at Shang Yan's reaction, if you want to say that she is not a merchant girl, she doesn't believe it if she dies, and the two are so affectionate!
Clinker Nozomi's expression is still calm:
"Miss Zhou, I have admired my name for a long time. It's a guest from afar, ladies and gentlemen, please come inside. Then he threw it away, took Shang Yan's hand directly, turned around and walked towards the house.
As soon as he walked a few steps, he was caught up by Zhou Jing, grabbed Xi and the other arm, and said with a smile:
"Nozomi and sister, let's be together."
This Yang Xihe is to his own appetite.
Do you think you don't know, Chi Fangyun is close to her on the surface, but in her selfishness, she is afraid that she can't look down on her identity at all. But it's just a fake intimacy with himself, but my father often deals with people from the Internal Affairs Office, but it's not easy to turn his face.
I was thinking about the daughter of a scholarly family, so she naturally spoke and acted sourly, and it was the first time I saw Yang Xihe so refreshing.
I have never met Zhou Jing so moody, Xihe was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing the next moment, although he was born in an imperial businessman, how could he look at Zhou Jing but he didn't have many hearts, didn't he see that Chi Fangyun, who was left behind, had a green face.
Fortunately, as soon as a few people entered the door, Gu Xiuyun greeted them-
When she was in the boudoir, the relationship between Gu Xiuyun and Qin Yuan was really good, and when she heard that she was the daughter of the deceased, she was excited and tearful, and she hugged Chi Fangyun in her arms:
"Ouch, you're Fangyun, right? I didn't expect it to grow so big. I remember when I met you, you were still a baby, and it has been so many years......"
As he spoke, he began to wipe away tears again.
"Aunt Lao is worried." Chi Fangyun responded obediently, and looked at Gu Xiuyun quietly-
A good Yunjin cut shirt, a jasper plum hairpin is obliquely inserted in the bun, although it is simple, but there is no place that is not exquisite, even if the body is a little thin, but it looks a few years younger than the mother. Obviously, life is very comfortable and comfortable on weekdays.
"By the way, look at my memory, I haven't seen you for so many years, why do you have to give my nephew and daughter a greeting gift?"
Saying that, he hurriedly beckoned, and a maid had already stepped forward and handed over three boxes.
It is rare for her daughter to have a good sister come to the door, so Gu Xiuwen prepared one for each person.
When I opened it, Chi Fangyun was a pair of gold-inlaid jade-inlaid jewelry bracelets, and it was rare that the jade was warm and moist, obviously the best warm jade, with Chi Fangyun's fair skin, it was very good-looking. As for Zhou Jing's, it is a pair of gold filament-inlaid gemstone leaf-shaped earrings, where the earrings shake slightly, the leaves are simply similar to the real ones; Shang Yan's pair of ruby flower-shaped gold earrings are delicate, and even the dew on the flowers is delicate......
The three pieces of jewellery are exquisite, and they are clearly extraordinary.
It is Zhou Jinghuang's businessman, the family is used to seeing good things, and he doesn't feel stunned - if the guess is good, these jewelry are afraid that they are all from the Zhao family in Xiluo Prefecture, and his jewelry is not only made of high-quality materials, but also the salary is also expensive, but he is not willing to do more, often each style of jewelry is made in accordance with different models of three sets, so that every time a new jewelry comes out, it will be robbed by the world, and the price is ridiculously high.
But looking at the appearance of the mansion, I still thought about how cold the Yang family was, but I didn't want to be so generous.
As for Chi Fangyun, limited by her family background, her ability to appreciate jewelry is naturally not as good as Zhou Jing's, but she also has eyesight, to say that the jewelry added by the elders from childhood to the eldest mother, there are a lot of them at home, but even none of them are as exquisite as the bracelet in the hand.
No wonder my mother always feels sorry for herself, I heard her say that her dowry back then was even richer than Gu Xiuwen, but unfortunately in order to help her father pave the way for her career, she was almost sold out.
Coupled with the hard work of the family, although she has the glory of the wife of an official family, no matter how you look at it, she can't compare to Gu Xiuwen's nourishment.
I also felt that in front of Zhou Jing, this aunt could be regarded as making a face for herself, and Gu Xiuwen's sense of alienation disappeared a lot, and her expression became more and more respectful.
I am happy that Gu Xiuwen praised the good sister for teaching and teaching people, and she actually taught such a well-behaved daughter. He also instructed Xihe to get closer to the Chi family's sister.
"That's what my mother said." Chi Fangyun followed Gu Xiuwen's words and said, "For example, this time I went to my aunt's house, in addition to visiting my aunt, my mother also gave me an invitation, saying that I should take Xi and my sister to the Xunfang Garden to see a thing or two, Xi and my sister's age, I should go out for a walk." ”
Because Xunfang Garden opened for the first time in six years, it was naturally difficult to get the invitation. This aunt treats herself with sincerity, the so-called reciprocation, and taking Yang Xihe out to see the world by herself can be regarded as a reward or two.
Who knew that Gu Xiuwen was still calm, but Yang Xihe did not show the slightest flattery, and even Gu Xiuwen's appearance was a little worried:
"He'er looks at ......"
If you want to say that the eldest son of the Shen family, he looks at Wei Wei as a good boy, and he is really sensible and considerate, but it is just the second son of the Shen family, who turned the family upside down a while ago. is different from other people's families, Gu Xiuwen has a weak personality, Xiang Gong is in Japan, every Qiē is Xiang Gong's final say, Xiang Gong is gone, naturally he listens to his son, and now that his son has left, Gu Xiuwen's backbone has become Yang Xihe.
"It's fine." Xihe nodded, turned around and instructed Qingbi, "Go back and find the invitation card from his house, let's go and see it when we arrive." ”
Xun Fangyuan or something fell second, but Shen Cheng, there has been no news in the past few days, although the person was a little noisy when he was there, but when he thought of the swarthy whip, Xihe couldn't calm down.
Chi Fangyun's expression was a little stunned. How could the Shen family send invitations to the Yang family's big house? After all, I heard that the second room and the big house of the Yang family, which were about to marry the Shen family, were already like fire and water.
