Everyone in the flower hall was still whispering and laughing, and Miao Zhi saw through the wide open pane that two girls dressed as maids were helping an old woman with gray hair but a tough body walking towards this side.

Presumably, this is Mrs. Liu, the first lady of the order.

Sure enough, as soon as the old lady appeared at the door, the girls in the hall hurriedly got up and saluted the old woman.

The old lady looked at a room of warblers and Yanyan frowned, she was an old woman, she should have reached the age of her children and grandchildren around her knees, who would have thought that the elm pimple willow was stunned that she had not married a daughter-in-law back until now, she was stationed outside every day, and when she returned to the house, she danced knives and guns at home all day long, and she was not in a hurry at all.

Old Madam Liu smiled brightly, her lips moved lightly, "Okay, they're all good children, get up, get up." ”

Everyone got up, and a few clever young ladies surrounded the old lady in the middle, hugged each other, and said hello until the old lady sat down on the Taishi chair in the hall.

The old lady Liu on the seat had silver hair, combed a typical woman's bun, and had no extra hair ornaments on her head, only a ribbon and pearl headband tied on her forehead, and two emerald and gemstone earrings on her full earlobes.

Although there are many wrinkles on the face with a full flush, the bridge of the nose is high, and the lips are plump, she must have been a beauty when she was young, except for those eyes, which are not as clear as she is old.

The old lady wore an emerald green woven gold anchovy blouse, and the lower body was a thicker skirt of darker color, and the red sandalwood bracelet was wrapped around her wrist and held in her hand.

"Love girl, Wan girl is really getting more and more handsome, and she can't open the old woman's eyes." Old Madam Liu said angrily, joking with the girls who were around her just now.

"Old lady, you don't mention anyone." Hu Biyun twisted his face, a little aggrieved.

"Where is it, where is it, if you forget it, you can't forget that Yun Yatou is not, look at this grievance, you are also getting more and more beautiful, you have to ask your father to find a good family for you."

After the old lady finished speaking, a coquettish laughter broke out in the flower hall, and Hu Biyun immediately blushed with shame, and even her moist ears were glowing red.

"Old lady, you'll be able to laugh." Hu Biyun threw off the handkerchief, turned around and hurriedly returned to his seat.

After making a fuss for a while, the ladies of the other families stepped forward one by one to salute, and they all presented the gifts they had prepared earlier, and the old lady couldn't stop saying "yes".

Liang Zhujin stepped forward and gave the old lady a pair of calligraphy written by herself, and the old lady liked it very much, and she couldn't close her mouth so happily that she asked her to accompany her often.

It was Miaozhi's turn, she took the brocade box from Xiang Yan's hand, and stepped forward to salute Mrs. Liu generously, "Miss Miaozhi has seen the old lady, may the old lady be as blessed as the East China Sea, and live longer than Nanshan." ”

The voice is as crisp as a warbler in the valley, and the dress is also beautiful and elegant, and when the maid opens the gift brought by Miaozhi, Mrs. Liu looks at her with a gaze that cannot be misunderstood.

Laughed; "You girl, how did you understand the old woman's mind so well when we met for the first time." Pulling Miao Zhi couldn't stop praising it.

The following ladies saw that Mrs. Liu liked Miao Zhi so much when they met for the first time, and they couldn't help but be curious about the things Miao Zhi gave them, and shouted that they wanted to see and understand.

When the maid took out the jade Guanyin with a tender green and crystal body, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

The lines of the statue of Guanyin are smooth, the carving is vivid, the middle of the tender green jade body seems to have spring water quietly flowing, the face of Guanyin is compassionate and deep in the quiet and serene, lined with the luster flowing in the jade, as if the previous second was still standing there silently, and the next second it was slightly open and looked at you with kind eyebrows.

When Mrs. Liu looked at it, she was even more overjoyed, and reached out to take it from the maid's hand, rubbing it uncontrollably.

"It's really good, good, the old woman has been worshiping the Buddha for more than ten years, and I have never seen such a realistic statue of Guanyin, look at this eyebrow, this posture, and even the lotus flower under this one, it is so magical."

Miao Zhi's face was like a peach blossom, she knew that Mrs. Liu would definitely like it, and she couldn't help but wink at Xiang Yan in the corner.

"Zhi girl, which family is this treasure from, this Guanyin is really carved alive, the old woman must visit this master."

The more Mrs. Liu spoke, the more excited she became, and she couldn't wait to find that master now and see who the master was.

"This is a picture drawn by Miao Zhi herself, and the master of the 'Lingxiang Treasure Pavilion' in the city carved it on her behalf." Out of the corner of her eye, seeing Hu Biyun, Wu Lingwan and others with jealousy and resentment, Miao Zhi lightly opened her lips and said.

After listening to this, the old lady looked at Miaozhi's eyes burst with strong approval, and said happily: "The picture you draw, this picture was drawn by you, this girl." Haha, the old woman really picked up the treasure, picked up the treasure. ”

"Quick, quick, put this Guanyin into my little Buddha hall now." Old Madam Liu hurriedly ordered the maid beside her, and the maid took it carefully and walked out quickly.

After a salute, the old lady became familiar with all the ladies in the flower hall, and then smiled and asked everyone to go to the stage by the lake to watch the play.

In the northeast corner of the flower hall, there is a high stage. The stage is covered with a red goose down carpet, and the tall pillars are tied with colorful bunting streamers. Everyone sat down, and the gongs and drums in the background were "knocking and choking" The noise opened, and the horns wearing colorful costumes with painted faces and walked on the stage with standard steps, neatly throwing down the long beard on their chins, and the "babbling" drama echoed in their ears.

The stage is very lively, but Miao Zhi is a little drowsy off the stage, she doesn't like to listen to singing, she can't appreciate the style of music, and she can't understand what words are being sung, although it is the quintessence of our China for 5,000 years, but for young people in the 21st century, she still likes the style of pop music, and she really misses the era of Jay Chou and Mayday!

Her eyelids were already fighting up and down, and she could only pretend to be calm and fight the sleepy bugs.

A big drama finally came to an end, and Mrs. Liu obviously enjoyed watching it and ordered someone to give a reward.

The next thing is that the ladies of each family performed, some played tunes, some danced water sleeves, and they really tried their best to please the old lady, and they couldn't wait for eighteen kinds of martial arts, and they all went through everything.

Looking at the faces of the ladies who tried their best to please her, Miao Zhi rolled her eyes countless times in her heart, and the scene in front of her was like a monkey's juggling, which made people a little ridiculous.

Playing monkey, it's really a bit, Miao Zhi couldn't help laughing, and she didn't expect to attract a few resentful and resentful glances.

It's miserable, and I'm going to be the target of those young ladies again.
