It doesn't take long to walk, it is the magnificent rockery spring pool, the lush trees and rocks, the verandah pavilions on both sides, and the uneven arrangement.

Zhu Yue was surprised that the scenery of Nangong Mansion had not changed, and it was the same as what she had lived in before.

After the old lady got out of the carriage, Mrs. Wang led the maidservants to greet her: "But the old lady is here." My father also asked me to say hello to the old lady. As she spoke, Mrs. Wang stepped forward and took the old lady's arm and walked towards the main hall.

The old lady smiled as she walked: "Is your father in good health?" ”

Mrs. Wang replied tactfully: "My father is suffering from wind paralysis, and he has sought many secret recipes at sea, but to no avail, this disease is difficult to treat, and I am afraid that he will not be able to get better for a while." Knowing that the old lady was coming this time, my father still thought that the old friend should have met each other. It's a pity because of this disease. ”

When the old lady Nangong suffered from wind paralysis, the whole Kyoto knew about it.

I heard that the eldest master and the second master were extremely filial, sought many famous doctors, and begged the emperor to send a doctor to see, but to no avail, but the condition became more serious, and the emperor was helpless, so he had to let the old lady Nangong Yi go home to recuperate.

In the court, only the imperial uncle Zhu Shuang was left as an auxiliary minister.

When Zhu Yue thought that Uncle Zhao was worried about Taifu's serious illness day and night, he inevitably sympathized.

Mrs. Guo walked beside and comforted: "Taifu Ji people have their own auspicious appearance, and the orchids in your house are blooming so well, which is also a good sign that Taifu's illness is improving." ”

The orchids in Nangong Mansion are full of flowers, but they still can't match Zhu Yue's beauty, and even the orchids have a lonely look in front of her.

Appreciating orchids is a hobby of literati, and Nangong Mansion has always been strictly military, but suddenly changed his temperament and held an orchid appreciation banquet.

The scholars were curious to see the general's orchid feast.

The house in Nangong Mansion is exquisite, gorgeously laid out, the open-air garden, the ground is covered with crimson brocade, there is a slip on both sides, the male dependents are on the left, the female dependents are on the right, Zhu Yue sat on the position of the concubines according to the seat, sitting on her head is Liu Fang, the girl of Liu Shilang, next to the two daughters of the Xie family's boudoir, one is called Xie Yun, the other is called Xie Yu, the two shy little daughters are full of emotion, it is estimated that it is the first time to participate in this kind of banquet.

Xie Yun's temperament is more open than Xie Yu, and he and Liu Fang became warm after only a while, asking each other how old they were with their heads, at what age they were bound with their feet, and what kind of work they had learned.

The two of them were talking, and when they saw Zhu Yu sitting over, they looked at her, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "What's your name?" Which house is it from, and is there a title? ”

Zhu Yue said politely: "The seven daughters of Prince Pei are named Yi'an, and there is no title." ”

Xie Yun and the others were quite disappointed when they heard it, the girl of Prince Pei did not have a title, that was a concubine, and the concubine did not speak the same language, so they sat back to eat tea stupidly.

Zhu Bi, who was sitting not far away, sneered. mocked Zhu Xuan in his heart: No matter how many others want to promote you, you are just a concubine, and you feel that you have surrendered to your identity when you talk to you.

Zhu Xuan didn't think so, only thinking about whether Uncle Zhao would be very haggard if he worked day and night.

At this moment, a servant girl in the distance reported: "The general is here!" ”

Zhu Yue looked up, only to see Uncle Zhao's still young and beautiful face slowly walking with a majesty, there was still an elusive meaning in his eyes, and he saw that he had a golden crown on his head, wearing a crimson brocade robe, his face was cold and handsome, holding a fan, which was not opened, but just paced over very leisurely.

When everyone saw him, they all got up and saluted, and the old lady didn't have to get up.

Uncle Zhao waved his hand, and everyone sat down again.

Uncle Zhao saluted the old lady and said with a smile: "The old lady rarely came to Nangong Mansion today to enjoy the orchids, and Ziliang thanked the old lady here." ”

Nangong Zhao, the word is good.

The old lady said with a smile: "Today, I came to enjoy the orchid, and secondly, I specially brought my granddaughter Yi'an to the door to thank you." ”

Saying that, the housekeeper Li Bu had already brought two maidservants and came forward with gifts.

The old lady smiled: "It's just a thank you, not a tribute." Yi'an, come here, thank the general and his wife. ”

Zhu Xuan hurriedly stepped forward after hearing this, bowed down to Uncle Zhao and Mrs. Wang, and for a while she became the focus of attention.

"Yi'an, sit next to your sixth sister Changle."

Mrs. Wang beckoned, and a maidservant had set up a couch beside Zhu Bi.

The concubines are not at the same table, and Mrs. Wang arranged it like this, which shows Zhu Yue's status in the eyes of the Nangong family.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came to Nangong Mansion, Zhu Yue became a hot object.

Zhu Bi moved to the side unconvinced.

Letting the maid sit beside her, she felt very uncomfortable, as if her status had also been pulled down.

Mrs. Wang smiled at the old lady and said: "Today, I deliberately moved the orchids cultivated in the house to everyone, and everyone enjoyed the orchids while drinking wine and tea, which is also a romantic and elegant thing." ”

As he spoke, a group of maidservants entered from the long verandah of Nangong Mansion with potted orchids of different shapes, and respectfully placed them in front of everyone, lined up.

Some are as white as fat jade, some are as scarlet as the sunset, and some are as pink as hibiscus. There are gladiolus, spring orchids, phalaenopsis, and black orchids, as well as rare hollow valley orchids in the mountains.

Zhu Yu looked at these orchids and thought to herself that Mrs. Wang had put a lot of thought into it. Some of the varieties are still the first time I've seen them.

At this time, there was a sigh of praise in Zhu Yue's ears, and there were also some deeds about Uncle Nangong.

Xie Yu, the second girl of the Xie family of Chenjun next to her, whispered on the side, they came to the drunkard not to be in Lan, but on a blind date.

"That's the son of the Ming family over there, right?" Xie Shi Ayun looked at the man in white opposite and asked the female companion beside him.

"Exactly, the son of the Ming family, both civil and military, rare in the world."

Xie Yun nodded and said: "Everyone has rumored that there is an immortal in the Ming family, and I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect to see it today, and the rumors were true." There is a fairy posture. ”

Zhu Bi saw that the son of the Ming family was worried about so many women, as if he was facing a great enemy, and wanted to dispel the infatuation of these women, so he smiled and said: "Don't look at it, Mingkang came to our Peiwang Mansion last time, and in front of the family, he said that my sister is true and kind." There's no more to come. ”

As soon as the words came out, the women lost their eyes and looked at Zhu Yue, who had already stolen the limelight once.

Xie Yun realized: "No wonder, my brother told me that Mingkang also played with Qin Xiao, the cousin of Prince Pei's family, and sure enough, we were all taken first by Yi'an." ”

Zhu Bi originally wanted to say that it was her who played the Qin Xiao ensemble, but after thinking about it, as long as these women were let retreat first, who would care about it Qin Xiao ensemble.

Then he said, "Now that you know, why bother to be bored." Mingkang is not something that ordinary pears can like. ”

Although the women were lost, Zhu Bi's words also disgusted them.

One of them was enraged and replied: "The person who says such rude things is the ordinary pear." ”

Zhu Bi glared at the person who spoke, and saw clearly that it was Liu Fang, the girl from Liu Shilang's family, and sneered: "Who should I be?" Your father is just writing for my emperor's brother, and the writing is extremely ugly, not as good as Mingkang. ”
