Mrs. Shen is a tall woman, the years have not left many traces on her face, a smile still has the demeanor of a girl, Wanxi entered the door to Mrs. Shen to Sheng'an, then asked Zipei to present the gift she had prepared, just in time for this time, Shen Fangning greeted a group of young ladies and was coming out to look for her mother, as soon as she saw Wanxi sneered, she walked over and said, "Miss Luo is here." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Mrs. Shen knew that her daughter was still worried about the events of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, but after all, she was a woman from a scholarly family, and she had good manners, so she said with a smile: "Fang Ning, take Miss Luo to the backyard and sit down, don't be lazy." ”

Shen Fangning smiled and didn't move, and said, "Mother, I don't know what gift Miss Luo gave you, I don't know if my daughter can see it." ”

Mrs. Shen said with a little displeasure: "Why is this girl becoming more and more rude?" ”

Wanxi immediately said: "It's okay, Wanxi also hopes that Mrs. will see if it is agreeable." ”

Mrs. Shen thought that this was a kind word, but she didn't expect to open it and take a look, she was surprised, there was a hosta in the box, but it was not an ordinary hosta, the small hairpin body was engraved with a hundred flowers, the hairpin head was different from the whole body of the hairpin body, but red, carved with a small butterfly, the wings were crystal clear, speaking of which Mrs. Shen preferred butterflies, every spring and summer, she had to take the maid out of the city to go to the mountains for a turn, in order to enjoy the butterfly, so I was overjoyed to see the hosta sent by Wanxi, It is very unusual to say that there is a little red on this jade, and the workmanship is so exquisite, even Shen Fangning on the side was stunned, and after a while, Mrs. Shen reluctantly said: "Miss Luo's gift is too expensive, I can't accept it." ”

Wanxi smiled and said: "Madame doesn't have to refuse, it's just a hairpin, and besides, this hosta has no one to show off its uniqueness except for Madame." When Mrs. Shen heard Wanxi say this, she was even more overjoyed, and it happened that she was wearing a dark red dress today, so she said: "Then thank Miss Luo, Chun Tao, come and put it on for me." After that, Mrs. Shen's little maid stepped forward and inserted the hosta into Mrs. Shen's hair, and then exclaimed: "Madame is really a perfect match for this hairpin." Mrs. Shen smiled and said to Wanxi: "I like Miss Luo's gift very much, and I also ask Miss Luo to go to the back hall with Fang Ning to take a seat first, and I will come later." Wanxi hurriedly said, "Madam, you are busy, don't bother to greet me." ”

Shen Fangning originally thought that she was the daughter of a second-class official, and she didn't have the support of her mother-in-law, so she shouldn't be able to take out anything good, and wanted to ridicule her, so as to establish her prestige, if he married into the Chenjun Mansion in the future, he would be able to dissipate her spirit, but he didn't expect Luo Wanxi to be so generous, presumably Miss Gonghou couldn't get such a heavy gift.

When he walked to the garden, Shen Fangning said to Wanxi: "Miss Luo, the back hall is too noisy, and the banquet is not open, I think Miss Luo is also a person who likes to be quiet, why don't we walk around the garden now?" ”

Wanxi smiled and said: "Guests are as they please, in this way, there will be Miss Lao Shen." ”

So the two walked into the garden, and heard that Mrs. Shen's ancestral home is Jiangnan, so the garden of Shen's mansion is also very characteristic of Jiangnan, small and chic, like an ink painting, Wanxi was watching, and suddenly heard Shen Fangning ask her: "Can you dare to ask Miss Luo, how did you meet Brother Chen?" ”

Wanxi was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said in her heart, can I say that I don't know, so I smiled and said: "Don't hide it from Miss Shen, the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet in the Princess's Mansion was the first time I saw the king of the county." ”

Shen Fangning secretly hated, who did he lie, the first time they met, how could Brother Chen say that you were his future princess, so he said with a smile: "Miss Luo, I heard that at your banquet, it was the eldest princess who was the matchmaker to propose marriage to you and Brother Chen?" ”

Wanxi is a little impatient, this woman is endless, in ancient times, it really honed my character, I like the king of Chenjun to chase it, what are I doing with this crooked chirping, I looked at my hand, I really couldn't help but want to kill her with a palm. Shen Fangning looked at Wanxi looking at her own hands, remembering that day in the eldest princess's mansion, King Chenjun took her hand and left, thinking that Wanxi was deliberately demonstrating, and couldn't help but feel even more jealous, so he said to Wanxi: "Miss Luo, let's go here." Then he took Wanxi to the promenade on the lake, and then smiled sweetly, and said to Wanxi: "Miss Luo, I know that Brother Chen and I used to play here when we were children, and I remember one time, it was here", saying Shen Fangning stood by the railing and pointed to the lake not far away: "This is it, the lotus flower bloomed in the lake in June that year, and there was a lotus flower blooming there, which was particularly beautiful, I always felt that it was not far away, so I reached out and wanted to pick it, but somehow, I fell into the lake, or Brother Chen immediately jumped down and rescued me." ”

Wanxi thought to herself, after such a big detour, this Miss Shen, don't you just want to say that it was summer when you were thinly dressed and wet, and you were hugged by King Chenjun, and you wanted her to finish everything she had to say quickly, so she just smiled and didn't answer.

Shen Fangning thought that she couldn't accept it anymore, smiled, and walked forward again, to the pavilion in the center of the lake, and said with a smile: "Miss Luo, I once stroked the piano here, and a butterfly landed on my shoulder, Brother Chen was practicing calligraphy, and when he looked up and saw me", speaking of this, she showed a shy smile on her face: "He said that he thought there was nothing more beautiful than this, so he made a painting, which is still hanging in my boudoir." ”

Wanxi sighed in her heart, and the harmonious society saved you. So he smiled and said: "Miss Shen is already very beautiful, and the **** of the Hundred Flowers Banquet noticed you among the ladies and ladies." Wanxi originally praised her sincerely, after all, she really felt that this Miss Shen was different that day, but now she doesn't think so anymore. But Shen Fangning thought that Wanxi was deliberately ridiculing herself with the words of King Chenjun at the Hundred Flowers Banquet that day, and hated her even more.

After getting off the corridor, there was an open flower bush, walking along the stone path in the middle, Shen Fangning asked, "Miss Luo hasn't been to the Prince's Mansion, has she?" ”

Wanxi thought that it was not over yet, but she said, "No." ”

"I wonder what flowers Miss Luo likes?" Shen Fangning asked Wanxi as if she was caught in a memory.

Wanxi replied: "Peony." ”

Shen Fangning thought that she would talk about plum blossoms and chrysanthemums or something, but she didn't expect her to say peonies, and she was puzzled: "Why? ”

Wanxi replied with a smile: "The peony demon in front of the court has no qualifications, and the hibiscus on the pond is pure and affectionate, but the peony is true to the country, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom." ”

Shen Fangning still appreciates Wanxi's talent in her heart, and it is rumored in the capital that she is as famous as her sister, and now when she sees that Luo Shuyao is much worse than her, she has to say that Luo Wanxi is a qualified opponent, so she said: "Miss Luo, good taste, but I prefer roses, at that time, the crown princess learned that I like roses, so she sent someone to remove a lot of them from my mansion, and said that I can also watch them when I go to the prince's mansion in the future." ”

Wan Xi said in her heart, if she didn't hit her, she was still finished, so she asked, "Are there many flowers and plants in the garden of the Prince's Mansion?" ”

Shen Fangning replied: "Yes, so the crown princess also specially asked people to open up a piece of land to plant roses." ”

Wanxi seemed puzzled and said: "Oh, I saw a lot of green bamboos planted around the princess's courtyard, and the king of Chenjun said that the princess planted them with his own hands back then, and thought that the princess only preferred green bamboo." ”
