Although there were not as many guests as on the wedding day, it was much more lively than the usual family dinner. The palace of Chuchen has been closed for many years, and the concubine is now willing to make friends with the ladies of the family again, so naturally everyone is willing to come.

The southeast gate where the Dark Fragrance Garden is located is full of cars and horses, today's female guests are entertained in the garden, and the male guests are in the main hall of the outer mansion, greeted by Sima Yulou and Xie Weiran.

Jin Yi followed Yun Hui to greet the guests at the gate of the Dark Fragrance Garden, Xie Yingran thought it was too hot outside, so she accompanied the concubine to sit in the flower hall in the garden.

Yun Hui is very keen on this kind of occasion, but it is not too troublesome at all, Jin Yi is the host of the banquet for the first time, and she can't stop chatting with people, and the corners of her mouth are almost numb with a smile.

Yun Hui has been a little cold to her in the past few days, and she can't show her face in front of outsiders, and when she saw the daughter of the Wang family coming, she said to Jin Yi: "You take the people of the Wang family in, and you will greet you inside later, just here I am." ”

Jin Yi knew that she didn't want to stand with her, but she felt that since she had sent a more comfortable errand to herself, it was naturally better than waiting in front, and said to her with a smile: "Then it's hard for the county lord." ”

After that, greet everyone in the Wang family.

Today, Mrs. Wang brought Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Pei with her, followed by the third young grandmother Yuying, Jin Yi was taken aback when she saw Wang Zichen who got out of the car with Yuying.

Wang Zichen was only sent home by the people sent by Wang Xiang yesterday, and he rushed to attend the birthday banquet today, it seems that the Wang family only told themselves about her, and outsiders don't know anything.

Wang Zichen was wearing a green tasseled skirt, his face was slightly haggard, but his slender eyes were still bright and bright, and he looked a little uncertain when he looked at Jinyi, took two steps forward, glanced back at the third sister-in-law beside him, and stopped again, and smiled gently at Jinyi.

Jin Yi smiled back at her, laughed and talked with a few other people, and led them to the garden.

In the Dongming room of the flower hall where the concubine was located, Mrs. Xian of the ancestral family was inside, and the concubine called Xie Yingran over and introduced Mrs. Xian: "This is the eldest lady of the Marquis of Anbian's family. ”

Xie Yingran saluted Mrs. Xian, and Mrs. Xian smiled: "It turned out to be Sister Ying, I said that it looks so familiar, I have not seen it for seven or eight years, and you were only a little ,......old at that time" She compared her hand and said affectionately: "You were a beauty embryo when you were a child, and now you have grown into a big girl, and you are really born better and better, this look is really painful." ”

Mrs. Xian took her hand and asked her when she entered Beijing, and asked how the family was doing, and Xie Yingran answered in a proper manner. The concubine saw that Mrs. Xian was close to her, and she also smiled and praised Xie Yingran for being well-behaved and obedient.

Seeing that Jin Yi brought Mrs. Wang in, the concubine talked to everyone for a while, and then whispered to Xie Yingran: "You follow your sister to go shopping." ”

When Xie Yingran was at home, she knew that her parents wanted to tell her about Zu Junguang, who was in the fourth room of her ancestral family, and she was ashamed when she saw Mrs. Xian just now, and when she saw that the concubine was leaving, she knew that she was going to talk about it, so she nodded with a red face and followed Jinyi out.

Wang Zichen saw Jinyi leaving, sat for a while, and whispered to Mrs. Lin, "Mother, I'll go outside for a walk." ”

Mrs. Lynn looked worried, she had only returned home the previous night, and her clothes were a little messy and she looked rather embarrassed. When I asked about it, I found out that when she found her, she still blindly resisted and refused to return to Beijing, and the people who went there tried their best to speak, but finally forced her into the car, and hired a mother-in-law to watch inside, and then brought it back.

After Wang Zichen returned home, he was no longer noisy, but he heard that there was a banquet in Chuchen's palace today, and he said that he would come with him, and Mrs. Lin saw that she was going out at this time, so she had to order Yuying to accompany her out. Wang Zichen frowned, and had to follow the third sister-in-law out of the flower hall.

It was originally a hot summer, this dark fragrance garden is especially cloudy and steaming, everywhere is full of flowers, orchid and cinnamon, guests have come a lot, are gathering in groups under the shade of flowers or in the cold pavilion to chat.

The two walked for a while, and Yu Ying couldn't help but admire, "I heard that the palace has not entertained guests for many years, and I didn't expect that there would be such a large garden so exquisitely arranged." She was a person who liked flowers, and she also planted many strange flowers and plants in the yard where she lived.

Wang Zichen hummed casually, didn't answer, just looked left and right.

Seeing this, Yuying sighed and said, "Chen'er, you left home alone this time, mother ......"

"Third sister-in-law, I know everything......" Wang Zichen interrupted her, last night her mother cried and counted down herself all night, at this time, she really didn't want to listen to the admonition anymore, and pointed to a pavilion by the lake, where there were seven or eight female dependents of the southern scholar clan, I don't know what to say, it was very lively, "The people of the Xia family are over there, let's go and sit down." ”

The two walked over, and An Shi sat in the middle of the crowd, talking about Jin Yi adjusting her body, "...... Therefore, our sister Yi is really a superb doctor. ”

Mrs. Cai of the Xia family, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, nodded and said, "Otherwise, how could I be crowned a good doctor by the emperor." I heard that your sister married into her ancestral family, and she became pregnant in just a month, and she was also thanks to the princess to take care of her body. ”

An's nodded again and again, her maiden family is Huainan An's, she belongs to the southern Shi clan, she has been raising a fetus at home for two months and has not gone out, this time she came out with several female relatives who are familiar with each other to promote Jinyi's medical skills.

The matter of heirs has always been the most concerned about the noble women, and all the noblewomen present here are already married, and they all want to inquire in detail after listening to the words of the two, but Wang Zichen, the lady of the boudoir, is sitting aside, and it is a little inconvenient to say this, and the pavilion is a little cold for a while.

Mrs. Cai was asking about Yuying's last time Jinyi treated her, and Wang Zichen took the opportunity to whisper beside her: "Third sister-in-law, Xinyue is over there, I'll go over to find her, you guys talk first." ”

Everyone just wanted her to leave first, and Mrs. Cai listened and said, "The fourth lady of our family asked about you today, saying that she hadn't seen you for a long time. She's watching people fight flowers over there, so go and take a look. ”

Yuying thought about her mother's advice, and wanted to accompany her, but she was pulled to talk again, so she had to call the maid Qinghuai behind her to follow her.

Xia Xinyue and Wang Zichen have always had a close relationship, but since she fell into the water and fell ill, she has never met her again, when she saw Wang Zichen coming over, she was busy and grabbed her, "Why don't you come to me these days?" ”

As he spoke, his eyes were a little red. Since the emperor gave Sima Yulou a marriage, many women in the city who had admired him in the past have been saddened, especially Wang Zichen, Xia Xinyue, the fourth lady of the Xia family, and Huan Yuanyuan, the third lady of the Huan family, are the most active.

Xia Xinyue and Huan Yuanyuan gathered together a few times to be sad in the spring and autumn, but they didn't see Wang Zichen, and they all thought that she was too sad and didn't want to see anyone.

Seeing Wang Zichen's haggard face, he comforted: "Are you feeling better?" Yuanyuan and I also got sick a few days ago,...... Alas, the three of us really have the same disease. ”

Wang Zichen said indifferently, "I used to be too confused, but now I have no more thoughts." ”

Xia Xinyue didn't know that her mind was no longer on Sima Yulou, and she whispered, but Wang Zichen saw Jinyi standing outside the flower hall from afar, laughing and talking with everyone, thinking about how to think of a way to say a few words to her in private. (To be continued.) )
