Chapter 13

On the day of the flower viewing banquet of the eldest princess of Changping, Ah Bao and Li Mingyi, Li Mingshuang, Li Mingyue and other sisters sat in the same carriage. It was the end of the warm spring, and the little girls in the carriage had changed into freshly colored spring shirts from the Embroidery Pavilion, and wore this year's popular headdresses on their heads, trying to straighten their bodies for fear of accidentally messing up their hair ornaments or crumpling their clothes.

Compared with the three Ming, who were sitting in danger, Ah Bao directly leaned his back against the wall of the car and looked at the three cousins who were old and guarded. Since Li Mingxia and Li Mingyi have already made a marriage, and Li Mingxia will get married next month, it is said that the family set is the second son of the deputy commander of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Command Department. Li Mingshuang is the concubine of the second room, Li Mingyue is the concubine of the third room, and this year is about to be married, Mrs. Weiyuan Hou and the second lady plan to take them out to see the world, and they will look like a family by then.

Li Mingshuang and Li Mingyue were a little nervous, wringing the handkerchief in their hands, in contrast, although Li Mingyi was also nervous, she knew that she was the daughter of the Marquis of Weiyuan, and she would not marry much worse in the future no matter what, so she was a little worried about the future, and she was also looking forward to the flower viewing banquet in her heart.

"Fifth sister, aren't you nervous?" Li Mingyi's waist was a little tired, and when she saw Ah Bao leaning against the car wall casually, she also softened her body and leaned on Ah Bao, so that she didn't have to worry about her hair accessories touching the car wall and messing up.

Ah Bao saw that the three Mings were staring at him tightly, as if it was a very strange thing that she was not nervous - if she knew that the Tao was in the hearts of the three Mings, she was the oldest and the most hated to marry and seemed to be the most difficult to marry, and she might vomit blood. The three childish little girls looked at themselves with blank eyes, and Ah Baoshang said with a serious face: "No, I'm also nervous." ”

“……”

Li Mingyi and Li Mingyue showed a blank expression, and barely squeezed out their voices for a while: "Yes, I can't see it." "As long as Ah Bao is serious, it is when she is playing Bao, and their sisters have been teased by her for a few hours.

Ah Bao laughed, took the tender hands of his two younger sisters, patted Li Mingshuang, who was sitting farther away, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I heard that there will be a lot of nobles in Beijing when the time comes, let's just play with them, it's nothing." In Bao's opinion, this kind of blind date banquet where men and women look at each other across a lake is really too meaningful, and she really can't be nervous.

Under Ah Bao's comfort, San Ming finally relaxed, but he still carefully paid attention to his clothes and hair accessories, for fear of messing up and leaving a bad impression.

When the carriage arrived at the mansion of the eldest princess of Changping, he saw that the street that came out of the door had been crowded with many carriages, and it seemed that many families attached great importance to the flower-viewing banquet of the eldest princess of Changping, and they all brought their daughters and sons of the right age at home. In addition to the palace banquet, it is rare that there will be so many girls and sons of the noble family gathered together, everyone does not want to miss this opportunity, you can come here to palm, whether it is to choose a daughter-in-law or a son-in-law in the future, you have a general impression.

Well, it can be said that this flower-viewing banquet is very grand, not only a blind date banquet for young girls and sons, but also a good place for mother-in-law (mother-in-law) to see her future daughter-in-law (son-in-law).

After getting out of the carriage, several Ming were supple and followed behind Mrs. Weiyuanhou and the second lady, and their own maids came to lead them into the princess's mansion, and as soon as they entered the second gate, they saw the eldest princess of Changping with her fifteen-year-old daughter Zhou Jin greeted her, and when she saw Mrs. Weiyuanhou, the eldest princess of Changping raised a smile on her face.

"Mrs. Weiyuanhou, I finally looked forward to you."

The eldest princess of Changping trimmed her eyebrows and phoenix eyes, the standard appearance of the Xiao royal family, with a smile on her face, bright and moving, quite Wang Xifeng's style.

Mrs. Weiyuan Hou had a smile on her face, and she was a little flattered that the eldest princess of Changping had come to greet her, and she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her. Ah Bao and several other Ming also stepped forward to greet the eldest princess and Zhou Jin, who was named the lord of Qingning.

After greeting each other, the eldest princess of Changping looked at all the girls in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion one by one, praised them again, looked at Ah Bao a few more times, and had a concept in her heart, Fang smiled and turned her head and instructed her daughter: "Ah Jin, take a few girls to the water pavilion over there to play, but you have to entertain them well." ”

Zhou Jin had the style of a mother, replied with a generous smile, and then took Ah Bao and Li Mingyi on the other, and took Li Mingshuang and others to the water pavilion in the garden. And the eldest princess of Changping took Mrs. Weiyuan Hou and the second lady to the hall together, and the elders and juniors did not stay together, which was also an opportunity for the little girls to get to know each other.

Along the way, Zhou Jin smiled and introduced the scenery along the way, and soon arrived at a water pavilion built by the lake in the garden, surrounded by willows, and there were already more than a dozen gorgeously dressed young girls sitting in the water pavilion, sitting together in groups of three or two and whispering and laughing. Seeing Zhou Jin appear with the sisters of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, the girls got up one after another to greet them.

"What a Ah Jin, I thought I was lazy when I didn't see anyone for a long time, but I didn't expect to bring a few sisters who were like flowers and jade, it turned out to be to greet the beauty." A young girl in a pink skirt walked over, and the rings on her body jingled as she walked, which was extremely pleasant.

Zhou Jin wrinkled his nose playfully, "Okay, you catkins, come and bury me again!" The sisters I brought have taught you to touch them all over the place, what are you not satisfied with? ”

"I haven't touched all these four girls, at least now!"

As the two laughed, the girls in the attic couldn't help but cover their lips and laugh. Liu Yu'er is the daughter of a scholar of Liu University of Hanlin Academy, and she has always been good friends with Zhou Jin, and the two girls often play together, and their intimacy is also shown between jokes.

"Yo, who should I be, it turns out that a few girls from the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion are here." A slightly sharp voice sounded, "Sure enough, we can't compare to a few, and I actually let Ah Jin greet me personally, even I don't have the honor to be a sister." Oops, I heard that General Zhenbei's beloved daughter is also back, but I don't know who it is. ”

Ah Bao followed the prestige and saw a somewhat familiar face, with long eyebrows and apricot eyes, a slightly larger face, although the body is not fat, but it gives people a slightly chubby feeling, which is very different from the beauty of the weak willow and the wind that is pursued nowadays.

Zhou Jin's eyebrows frowned slightly, the smile on his face remained unchanged, he was still holding Ah Bao's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Le Ning, this is General Li's beloved daughter Li Mingjin, we have all met before." Then he introduced Ah Bao: "Sister Mingjin, this is the lord of Leping, the daughter of my Uncle Ping. ”

Oh, it turned out to be the half-sister of King Ping's son, Jiang Lingwei's future sister-in-law. Ah Bao took advantage of the time to come forward to salute, looked at it a few times, and secretly shook his head in his heart, knowing why she was so hostile to herself, I was afraid that it was for the Seventh Princess. In this way, the last time in the prince's mansion, the seventh princess didn't get anything good.

The county lord of Lening raised his eyebrows slightly, looked Ah Bao up and down, and said coldly: "I have indeed seen it!" But I haven't seen you for a few years, and some people, that courage has also fattened up, and even the princess dares to be disrespectful. ”

The water pavilion was silent in an instant, and the girls present looked at each other, and the idiots all knew that now the lord of Lening County was now deliberately targeting people, and in order to avoid being affected, they did not speak.

But Ah Bao smiled unhurriedly: "How can the county lord say this?" Ming Jin has always respected the princess, and the county lord is a reasonable person, so don't listen to Tu Tu and tarnish the reputation of the county lord. ”

The county lord of Lening sneered, "Sharp teeth! ”

As he was talking, he suddenly found that there was a commotion not far from the attic, and the women looked up, and saw a group of young men wearing flowing robes under the bauhinia trees on the other side of the lake.

Those young sons also seemed to find the girls in the water pavilion, and quietly looked here while busy chanting poems and lyrics, and the girls also put on the most reserved and beautiful posture, keeping a smile on their faces and quietly looking at the sons on the other side, and after comparison, they found that the most conspicuous among them was Zhou Yu.
