"This crane pavilion is built on the edge of the lake, there is a very good reed on the island in the middle of the lake, when the old marquis was alive, he also did not know where to find a nest of cranes, and raised on that island, after all these years, it has become a group of cranes, from spring to autumn, the crane dances, but one of the great attractions in this house, but unfortunately the season is not right, but it is not visible, but my aunt and aunt are very fond of the five sisters, in the future, they will often come and go, to see the beauty of the crane dance, but not in a hurry, in the future, there is an opportunity. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

After a shoal, the reeds have withered, creeping in the wind, the frost lake in the Jingbei Hou Mansion is a rare natural lake in the capital, narrow and long arc, only the shallow beach where Lanxi they stand here looks wider, but the so-called island in the center of the lake is just a few zhang away from the water in the middle of a narrow line of sand, you can see the island with the wind ups and downs, the withered yellow reeds that have fallen the residual snow, you can also see the pavilion buildings on the opposite bank not far away.

Seeing that Lan Xi's gaze fell on the opposite side, Shen Yanshu smiled very brightly, "On the other side of the lake is Dongfu, and you can see the Mingyue Tower of Dongfu from a distance, it is a good place to watch fireworks during the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. However, we watch it every year, and it seems that it is not interesting, so it is better to go to Wanhe Building to charter a private room and have a good time. ”

Lan Xi glanced at Shen Yanshu with interest, and thought to herself, this is the girl who looks like the Geng family, but the real surname Geng behind her, who is silent and low-key like a shadow, but the surname Shen is here to do the friendship of the landlord. I don't know, is it a habit of nature, or is it deliberately to let them understand that her status in the Geng family is special?

"If you want to say that the best scenery in this mansion is still in the Qingping Courtyard of the fourth brother, but unfortunately, the master is not there, but we are not easy to see." Shen Yanshu said a pity, pulled back Lan Xiyuan's thoughts, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he wanted to laugh, it turned out that what he wanted to show was not only the special status in the Geng family, but also the fourth brother .......?" What a fourth brother!

There is some weird silence around, not only Lanxi is strange, everyone knows that the fourth master of the Geng family has an embarrassing position in this mansion, his biological mother died early, he is not happy with his father, his stepmother has a son of his own, and he can't even save face, the gossip that the Shen family poisoned Geng Shilang in the capital has been secretly passed on for many years, although the poisoned person is still alive and well, but Geng Siye is not happy with the Marquis of Jingbei, and he has not been on the table for a long time, but in order to keep the Geng family's position in the Northwest Army, his military exploits have been sacrificed, It is no secret that the matter of gaining the trust of the saint is not a secret in the powerful family in Beijing, and among the young ladies present, which one of them has not heard a little from his own parents?

But Pianpian, Shen Yanshu said that the best scenery in the mansion is in the courtyard of that Geng Fourth Master, how is this not strange?

Lan Xi frowned thoughtfully, and glanced at Shen Yanshu, but Shen Yanshu seemed to be aware of everyone's thoughts, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, bit his lip with some annoyance, and then stiffly changed the topic, "Let's go to the chrysanthemum and plum hall in the backyard, we specially planted more than a dozen green calyxes, and now I'm afraid it's almost open, let's go to enjoy the plum together, and by the way, take the jar to collect some plum snow, and make tea and drink it in the coming year, which is both elegant and more interesting than here." ”

When the women heard this, they naturally applauded, and Lan Xi thought to herself, this woman is really not to be underestimated.

Among the women, there are many who are familiar with the Geng family, and the Jingbei Hou Mansion is not the first time to come back, speaking of the Jumei Pavilion in the Hou Mansion, they all say that there are many varieties of plum trees, and there are also many treasures, among which this green calyx is considered a sin, and it is said that it has never been seen, and the heart yearns for it, and is turning to follow Shen Yanshu behind him to go to the Jumei Pavilion, but a voice sounded behind him, crisp and arrogant, "Where is Shen Qi girl going to entertain guests?" Can you count me as one? ”

Lan Xi looked back, and her eyes couldn't help but light up, it was a girl of seventeen or eighteen, different from the current beauties in the capital, two points less delicate and a little more heroic. I didn't wear a big coat, and in this snowy weather in the first month, I only wore thin clothes.

A neat red narrow-sleeved short jacket is tied in the skirt of the lower body with a belt, the skirt is also red, but only up to the waist and legs, the legs under the skirt are slender and straight wrapped in the silk pants embroidered with gold thread of the same color, the feet are deerskin boots, a long hair is like a cloud, high on the top of the head, the jewel beads are braided, the beads of broken red gold and red treasures loom in the hair, a pair of eyebrows are like sharp arrows, flying into the sideburns, the eyes are black and white, big and spiritual, the red lips are lightly pursed, holding a horsewhip in his hand, the grip is made of heavy iron, black and shiny, and a flaming red tassel is knotted at the end of the tail, faded away two points of cold hardness, and added a touch of softness.

"I've seen the county lord of Zhaoyang." As soon as the girls saw this girl, they bowed down to Shen Yanshu at the moment.

Lan Xi has never been a maverick, seeing this, he did not slow down to bend his knees with the current, but his heart was turning rapidly, Lord Zhaoyang ...... Lan Xi couldn't remember for a while when there was such a county lord in his previous life, but since he was called a county lord, most of them were royal clansmen. Lan Xi thought about it for a while, but finally found a trace of impression, this Zhaoyang county lord should be the Beiping Wangfu who guards Beiguan, no wonder Lanxi didn't think about it for a while, but in her previous life, she didn't seem to have heard that there was a county lord in Beiping Wangfu in Beijing, was she negligent, or did there be any changes in this life?

Over there, the county lord of Zhaoyang had already raised his hand and shouted, while throwing the soft whip back in his hand, behind her was also a tall and strong maid dressed neatly dressed to take it with one hand, she stepped forward, did not smile, and said in a flat tone, "This county lord is uninvited, Miss Shen Qi will not be surprised, right?" ”

"Where is the county lord, the county lord can come, Yan Shu is only happy." Shen Yanshu's smiling tone had a hint of closeness in it, and Lan Xi knew that this Zhaoyang County Lord was only afraid of having some personal relations with Shen Yanshu, although the Zhaoyang County Lord seemed to be an arrogant character, and he treated Shen Yanshu no differently, but he couldn't bear to put gold on his own face!

Sure enough, the county lord of Zhaoyang snorted lightly, which was counted as an answer, and then turned his head, no longer looking at Shen Yanshu, but instead patrolled among the women, "Which of you is the fifth girl of the Lan family?" ”

The eyes of all the women were either suspicious or surprised, and they fell on Lan Xi one after another. Lan Xi lowered his head, his mind was racing, I don't know why this county lord asked about him, but no matter how many doubts in his heart, Lan Xi still bent his knees and covered everything behind a calm and polite manner, "The courtier Lan Xi has seen the county lord. ”

"Excuse me!" Arrogant to a cold voice, a must for the royal family, Lan Xi did not wronged himself, and stood up straight according to his words. Letting those big and divine eyes sweep her from head to toe, she snorted coldly at the end, "That's just it, it's no different from ordinary imperial capital nobles." ”

Lan Xi couldn't hear the slightest compliment from these words, and quietly raised her eyebrows, she didn't know when she provoked ...... Oh! No! Should you have offended this delicate county lord?

She had doubts, and Lan Xi was not a person who wronged herself for no reason, so she raised her eyes and looked over quietly, looking at each other, one was as calm as the sea, and the other was suddenly stunned. (To be continued.) )
