On the eighth day of the first month of April, Jiang Chuxue, a girl from the Jiang family who has been in the limelight in recent years, held a large-scale flower viewing party, in addition to the nobles of Kyoto, there are also Langjun of the major families in the capital, Jiang Chuxue and the five princesses of today's official family and Jiang Yumin and called the three Jiao of the imperial capital, Jiang Yumin is the young daughter of Jiang Ge Lao, and she is Jiang Chuxue's cousin in the seniority, a few years older than her and the five princesses, she was married last year, and now the most popular among the nobles in Kyoto is Jiang Chuxue and the five princesses.

Such a woman holds a flower-viewing banquet, everyone is eager to enjoy it, early in the morning of the eighth day of the first month of April, after the hour, the entrance of Jiangfu is successively parked with all kinds of gorgeous carriages and magnificent horses, in the flower hall in Jiangfu, more than a dozen young girls dressed in gorgeous costumes, exquisite makeup are around the two extremely outstanding girls and whisper and smile, the atmosphere is very warm.

The two girls who were surrounded by all the noble women, dressed in red, with gorgeous faces like fire, and an unconcealable arrogance between their eyebrows, were about sixteen or seventeen years old. The girl sitting with her was picturesque, dressed in a snow-white silk dress, embroidered with pink calla lilies embroidered with Suzhou embroidery, a delicate jasper hairpin pinned to her bun, and a pair of crystal white jade Dongzhu Erding on her earlobes.

Time slipped by little by little, when it was near the end of the hour, a girl dressed in a men's green shirt and long hair tied with a green hairpin rode to the front of Jiangfu, the horse had just closed its hooves, she jumped off the horseback very neatly, after getting off the horse, looked around left and right, found a vacant place, tied the horse, and walked towards the side door of Jiangfu.

She doesn't apply fat powder, there is no hairpin ring at all, only the top of the head is fixed with a hairpin, and the rest of the black hair is draped behind her shoulders at will, but the whole person is an indescribable handsome and free, yes, it is handsome, not bright or beautiful, her facial features are undoubtedly very outstanding, but the eyebrows and eyes are tougher and more distinct than ordinary women, less feminine and charming, but there is an indescribable heroic posture! Needless to say, this woman is Xiao Nan, who received an invitation from Jiangfu two days ago, when she walked to the door, she was stopped, and the two guys guarding the door looked at her with some hesitation and said, "May I ask the little lady to have a sticker?" ”

"Give." Xiao Nan glanced at the two of them lightly, and took out the invitation sticker between his sleeves and handed it to the two.

"It turned out to be the lady of the Xiao family, please come with me." After they took Xiao Nan's invitation and read it, one of them immediately respectfully made a gesture of inviting Xiao Xiao, these two guys were originally arranged by the Jiang family to welcome guests at the door, but the invited guests were basically almost all half an hour ago, Xiao Nan was the latest to arrive, plus her dress really didn't look like a lady who came to the banquet, if it weren't for her temperament, people didn't dare to ignore it, maybe she was kicked out directly as soon as she arrived at the door.

Xiao Nan didn't speak, and as the Jiang guy walked all the way, when the guy led her to the door of the flower hall where the nobles gathered, he stopped and whispered a few words to the maid at the door, and then turned to leave.

Yahuan raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Nan when she heard the sound, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, and directly brought her into the flower hall, as soon as she entered the flower hall, Xiao Nan's eyes swept and found that there were sixteen or seventeen girls in Chinese costumes gathered inside, among which the two women sitting in the south direction were the most eye-catching, and the maid suddenly brought a stranger in, which naturally attracted the attention of the nobles in the flower hall.

Especially the girl in the snow shirt, after she saw Xiao Nan, her eyes flickered slightly, turned her head and said something to the girl in red beside her, and then got up and walked towards Xiao Nan, the girl in red rolled her eyes, and also stood up and walked towards Xiao Nan with her.

The two girls walked to Xiao Nan's side, looked her up and down, and the first to speak was the woman in red, she squinted slightly, and looked at Xiao Nan with an arrogant face: "You are the eldest lady of the Xiao family who just won the championship at the tea ceremony sword meeting two days ago?" ”

"Exactly." Xiao Nan glanced at the two girls, and she couldn't figure out who Jiang Chuxue was for a while, so she could only respond casually.

"Hehe, the score is quite big, is it possible that you feel that you have won the praise of the official family and the elder of the pavilion at the tea ceremony: Sure enough, it is a strange woman with Yixin and Huiqinxin! I felt that I was so amazing, even the banquet of the first snow dared to come so late? The girl in red snorted coldly and stared at her unkindly.

Xiao Nan frowned when she heard this, she came late, there was indeed something wrong, but she could come over within the hour, it was not rude, but the woman in front of her didn't know who it was, she was so reluctant to give up when she met, but she came over today, she had to come after receiving the post, not to grudge with others, although she was a little unhappy, but she did not refute it.

"Cough, cough, let me introduce to you, the eldest lady of the Xiao family, I am Jiang Chuxue, this is the fifth princess, but eldest lady Xiao, you are indeed the latest one to come today, and you will be punished in a while." The girl in white on the side coughed lightly when she saw this, she gently took the arm of the girl in red, smiled and opened her mouth to introduce the two parties, breaking the somewhat stiff atmosphere of the scene, she is Jiang Chuxue, the proud daughter of the Jiang family, Xiao Nan is a guest she specially invited by her family's instructions, but she can't offend people because the fifth princess doesn't like her.

The fifth princess has a good relationship with Jiang Chuxue, coupled with the existing status of the Jiang family, she doesn't dare to casually wipe Jiang Chuxue's face, although she doesn't understand why Jiang Chuxue is so kind of courteous to a businesswoman, but the main banquet is open, she can't pester Xiao Nan anymore, she only snorted coldly, and then stopped talking.

"Aunt Xiao has seen the five princesses, I have seen the lady of the Jiang family, I apologize, because I am not familiar with the road to the capital, I went around a few times, I am late, please forgive me." Xiao Nan bowed slightly to the two girls, and said with a little apology, she received an invitation and had to come to the banquet of this kind of labor, she would not offend people for no reason, and now that the fifth princess is no longer pestering herself, she will not make a fuss about nothing, and immediately admit her mistake.
