After a short time, Xie Fu and his entourage arrived at Zhuangyuanfang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info today's Zhou Mansion starts from the archway of the champion square into the street, which is full of red silk with lanterns. The streets are full of horse-drawn carriages and guests who come to celebrate birthdays. Moreover, the county lord of Mingdan also opened a flowing water banquet for Mrs. Dong in the east of the city, and entertained the neighbors for free, which attracted admiration.

Because there were too many carriages, they could only get off the carriage at the corner of the street and be guided by the people of the Zhou Mansion to enter the mansion on foot. After entering the Zhou Mansion, Master Xie and Xie Yixin first went to the "Fuxuan Hall" to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Dong, saluted, and then went to the front and back yards respectively according to the male and female defense.

When Xie Yixin came to the backyard, the backyard was already full of warblers and swallows, and the ladies and old ladies were sitting in the hall, and most of the ladies were enjoying the flowers in the back garden.

Xie Yixin came to the back garden, only to see all kinds of gorgeous costumes competing for beauty, and the bells were ringing all over the place. A large group of unrecognizable young ladies dazzled Xie Yi with heavy makeup. Standing on the corridor outside the hall, I want An Qing to take a closer look to see where Meng Baoying is, so that I can go to find her as a companion.

I heard someone singing: "The Lord of Mindan has arrived!" ”

The young ladies in the courtyard all bowed down half-kneeling, Xie Yixin also looked at the nose, the nose looked at the heart and lowered her head slightly, kneeling on the corridor, and saw a rose-red skirt slowly floating under her eyes.

"Get up." A majestic and crisp female voice said slowly.

Xie Yixin straightened up, still bowed his head slightly, and stepped back, not intending to be there to hinder the entry of the Lord of Mingdan into the hall.

But he didn't want a voice to sound: "Mother, the one in front of you happens to be the young lady who lives in Xie Mansion next door to my cousin." ”

Xie Yixin raised her head and saw a graceful and luxurious woman standing in front of her wearing a rose-red one-collar Shu brocade skirt, embroidered with peony patterns all over the skirt, and a yellow palace silk tied around her waist. She combed a peacock updo on her head, and inserted a bowl of big red gold peony in the middle to pick the heart, rare petals are light and thin, the flower core is embedded with several rubies, and three long inlaid jade glazed hairpins are inserted on the left and right sides of the updo, and a jade auspicious gold step is added on the right, and the three columns of gold silk are embellished with longan's large southern pearls. A red agate droplet pendant hangs in front of the forehead, and the ears are hung with gold and red agate ears. The face is like a full moon, the eyebrows are like a mountain, the eyes are narrow and the eyeliner is drawn slightly back, which looks enchanting and extraordinary. A pair of plump red lips against the backdrop of heavy makeup make people salivate, with a plump body and tall breasts, showing the style of a mature woman.

Xie Yi saw that standing next to the beautiful woman was Zhou Lingsu, the cousin of Brother Zhaowu, and the other two girls in fancy clothes, then this was the lord of Mingdan.

Lord Mingdan looked Xie Yixin up and down, and Dan's lips opened slightly: "Oh? This is the Miss Xie family that Zhao'er takes care of? It's really cute and cute. ”

Xie Yixin gave another blessing, "Back to the county lord, the little girl is ashamed." ”

The Lord of Mindan didn't say anything more, turned and left, and when she entered the hall, the whole back garden was lively again. The young ladies held their own groups, and they didn't know Xie Yixin to inquire about who Miss Xie was the sacred girl. Groups of acquaintances went to guess what the Lord of Mindan meant's words meant.

There was no need for Xie Yixin to look for it again, Meng Baoying had already run over and pulled Xie Yixin to the stone table in the corner of the garden in a few steps.

"Sister Yixin, why did you provoke the Lord of Mindan? I watched her speak, yin and yang. ”

Xie Yixin stretched out her hand to cover Meng Baoying's mouth: "My sister Bao, you should be careful when you speak." ”

Meng Baoying stuck out her tongue and whispered: "I heard my mother say that the county lord of Mingdan has taken a fancy to Young Master Yang as Chenglong's son-in-law." Young Master Yang has always spoiled you very much, she must be unhappy. ”

Xie Yixin sat on the stone bench with her hands on her cheeks, and said softly: "Maybe it's not just that, I offended her beloved daughter last time." ”

"What's going on? Why did you offend that week's Lingsu? You don't see her like that, every day except for a white dress, there is no other clothes. Obviously, today is her grandmother's birthday, and she has to be plain white, as if she will come out of the mud at any time without staining, for fear that others will not know that she is a white lotus! Meng Baoying didn't have a good impression of Zhou Lingsu.

"Sister Bao, don't say that. It's good that the family is wearing a pink gauze coat today, which is not too out of line. Besides, her grandmother doesn't mind, you care about her! ”

"Sister Yixin, you haven't said why you offended her?" Meng Baoying gossiped.

Xie Yixin roughly told me about what happened before going to Maitreya Temple. "You just rode away like that?" Meng Baoying was surprised.

"I was angry! Later, the wind was too fast, and it knocked me unconscious, and then Brother Zhaowu sent me to the hospital. Xie Yi thought of that time, and he was a little afraid.

"Later, did White Lotus go to Maitreya Temple with you?"

"Of course not! We went home and changed our clothes, had lunch and then went to the Maitreya Temple, where Brother Zhaowu and I we. ”

"So I heard that there was a horse on Suzaku Street that day, but it was you? When I look at the white lotus, I must have taken a fancy to Master Yang, Sister Yixin, you have to be careful. Meng Baoying was a little worried.

"Brother Zhaowu doesn't like her again, what do I have to worry about." Xie Yixin pretended not to care.

"You said, Young Master Yang doesn't like her, that is, he likes you? What have you been doing at home lately? I sent you two letters, and you didn't come out to look for me. Meng Baoying was a little angry when she thought that she had been bored at home for half a month.

Xie Yixin's face turned red, and he twisted and whispered: "Brother Zhaowu doesn't like me either, he just treats me as a sister." I've been at home lately, I'm practicing my cooking skills, and I haven't even gone out. ”

"Cooking? We don't touch the spring water with our fingers, what are you crazy about cooking? Meng Baoying looked surprised.

"I want to cook for Brother Zhaowu myself. Recently, I have learned several kinds of pastries, Sister Bao, you come another day, I will make them for you. Xie Yixin was a little embarrassed.

The two little sisters hid in the corner and whispered. And over there, the lord of Mindan and the ladies also came to the garden.

"Jinling has been outstanding since ancient times, and today the lord of this county sees that all the young ladies are outstanding, gentle and generous, and they must be able to understand everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

The ladies saluted one after another, and said, "Don't dare." Xie Yixin and Meng Baoying also stood up and saluted, exchanging glances with each other.

The county lord of Mingdan smiled, brushed his hands and saluted, and proposed: "Then today, on the day of the breeze, the ladies will write a poem on the spot." I asked someone to take it to the front yard and choose the top three, and there was a reward, what do you think? "All the ladies said yes, and the other ladies were eager to try. After all, there are not many opportunities for the men in the front yard to comment on the poems of the ladies in the backyard, and they have also achieved several good relationships in the past.

Xie Yixin and Meng Baoying did not step forward to get the pen and paper, but quietly slipped out of the side door of the garden and turned to the nine-foot corridor of Xiaohu. "Sister Yixin, why don't you write a song? What do you do? With you, the White Lotus doesn't want to take the first place. ”

"I'm not interested in writing poems and lyrics, the lord of Mindan wants to build momentum for her daughter, I'm going to join in the fun!" Xie Yixin casually threw a pebble and smashed it on the lotus leaf in the small lake, and said indifferently.

"That's right, why don't we come out and feed the fish, and don't make do with the excitement."
