Thinking that I was going to invite those officials in Jiangnan today, Zhou Sinian was still asleep and hadn't woken up, so I tiptoed up, washed my face with cold water, combed my hair, and came out to the flower hall.

When I saw it, I breathed a sigh of relief, everything was ready, and who else was in charge of tea, who was in charge of reception, who was in charge of utensils, and the writing was clear, and I didn't have to worry about it at all.

I divided the work of Mu Qing, Mu Rong and the girl around me, as the leader, and distributed the waist card, whoever did wrong punished whom, anyway, I can't say whether I like or hate them, and I can keep my face and do business.

I didn't expect these girls to be so capable, I no longer had the feeling of being turned on my back, everything started in an orderly manner, and I had nothing to do.

When I returned to the bedroom, I saw that Zhou Sinian had just gotten up, and he saw me come back and asked, "How are you prepared?" I stretched: "They're all so capable, I don't need to do anything, I want to make up for sleep." "Get back to bed.

Zhou Sinian said with a smile: "These people are all prepared for you by Yang Xi, how about it?" It's much better than the little girls you brought from the capital, right? He said disgustedly, "You don't know how to know people, raise a room of beautiful girls, every day you either get into trouble with this or cause trouble." ”

I turned my head and grimaced at him, and said worriedly: "You said that Yang Xi knows the details of those officials, but you must protect him." ”

He nodded solemnly and said seriously: "Don't worry, Yang Xi is homeless and unemployed, he usually lives in the mansion, and there are powerful people around him to protect him." ”

I said strangely: "Usually he is alone, don't you see anyone following him?" Zhou Sinian smiled: "If even you see it, then what's the use?" ”

I pouted, ignored him, turned my head away, and fell asleep in a moment.

When the banquet was about to start, Mu Qing woke me up and helped me dress up. Wearing a pink and purple long skirt, a white fur coat, a jade pendant around her waist, crisp and pleasant, her hair was pulled into a bun at will, a purple jade hairpin was inserted obliquely, and a thin layer of fat powder was applied, because she had just slept and her eyes looked bright. Shaking my head and clanging, I couldn't help but laugh.

Zhou Sinian walked in, he had already changed his clothes, and it was actually a pink and purple robe, he wore this color, and he was actually beautiful but not a girl. He was dressed in a silver coat, and his long hair was pinned with a purple jade crown. Looking at my outfit and smiling all over my cheeks, I stood up, took his arm, and walked out together.

The winter sun is shining brightly, warm and warm. The camellia is blooming, pink and purple, and it is gratifying. Zhou Sinian walked over, picked two flowers, put one on my hair bun, and said, "You have to wear flowers to celebrate the New Year." I also helped him put on the flowers, and joked: "This is how to attract bees and butterflies!" He laughed helplessly. Although there is a custom of men wearing flowers in my dynasty, this is the first time that Zhou Sinian has worn flowers.

The guests are generally the original people, and they don't need me to introduce each other, everyone chats and chats happily together, and the ladies get together, nothing more than to talk about some weddings and funerals, etc., these officials in Jiangnan, many of them are from the big families in Jiangnan, intermarry with each other, intertwined, one is prosperous, one is lost.

It is impossible for these people to be cleaned up in a short period of time, as long as they are obedient, the emperor will not poison them. Back then, the Wei family and the Du family, didn't the emperor also give a lot of opportunities? It's just that people are easily dazzled by the superficial glory and wealth, and they can't figure out their own position.

At this time, a long-lost face came into view, and my cousin, Lord Chaoyue, came with her daughter Yue Fanghua.

The county lord of Chaoyue is the daughter of Li Huiqin, the youngest brother of Grandpa Gao. When Li Huiqin was young, he once followed Gaozu to fight in the south and the north, and made great achievements, just because he loved music and rhythm, he studied under the court musician Mr. Mei at that time, and fell in love with Mr. Mei's daughter. Since then, he has retired from politics and lived in seclusion in Jiangnan, not seeing outsiders.

The lord of Chaoyue is the only daughter of the prince of Yuan, and more than ten years later married Yue Chenguang, the young owner of the famous Zhiyuan Villa on the rivers and lakes.

The lord of Chaoyue wore a long skirt of dark blue brocade, embroidered with white plum blossoms, and a plum blossom white hosta was inserted into his black bun. Although simple, it looks fresh and elegant. Miss Yue was dressed in a pale pink dress, long to the ground, her eyes were like water, with a faint coldness that did not match her age, and she seemed to be able to see through everything.

I stepped forward and curtsied: "Hello aunt, I haven't seen her for so many years, and my aunt is still beautiful." ”

The county lord of Chaoyue also smiled politely: "I heard that your husband and wife have arrived in Jiangnan, but we have not dealt with the official family for a long time, and we are used to being idle, and we have not fulfilled the friendship of landlords." On the contrary, it was rude to let the princess take the initiative to invite and give such a generous gift. ”

I understood that this was Zhou Sinian's doing, and hurriedly said: "It stands to reason that our husband and wife should go to the door to ask my aunt and father for peace." He greeted Prince Yuan and Princess Yuan again, and my aunt also answered them one by one. As she spoke, Miss Yue also came over to salute.

Miss Yue has no title, she is already a complete son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, and I heard that she is strong in martial arts at a young age. She is also the only daughter of the county lord of Chaoyue, and the lord of Yue Zhuang cultivates her as an heir, this girl Yue is equivalent to the young owner of Zhiyuan Mountain Villa.

Now, Yue Chenguang doesn't take care of things very much, it's all this Yue girl, who is in charge of the affairs of the village. Yue Chenguang was even more reluctant to let his daughter get married, and was bent on recruiting a son-in-law, because this Yue girl was over twenty years old and still unmarried.

I naturally understood Zhou Sinian's intentions, the lord of Chaoyue County had a noble status and was an elder, so he naturally became the lord, and I pulled Miss Yue to sit down beside me. There was a lot of game during the banquet, Miss Yue liked it very much, I will smile, this should have been sent by Ah Zhan.

The dragon guards are all orphans, carefully selected from a place like the Nursery since childhood, Ah Zhan is the commander himself, the leader of the new generation, and the most proud subordinate of the commander, and now the deputy commander of the commander.

So he said to Miss Yue: "This is sent by a young hunter in the mountains, he is very skilled, if you like to eat, how about he also send some to Zhiyuan Villa?" Their village is full of hunters, and this is also taking care of their business. ”

Miss Yue said: "Of course the princess likes it, of course it is good, let him send it." I smiled and said, "We are cousins, let's call us sisters in the future, don't be angry." Miss Yue said: "I don't dare to take this seriously, Her Royal Highness the princess has a noble status, but saying this makes the people and girls panic." (To be continued.) )
