When Li Min was brought in by the maid who led the way, Xia Xue'er, her mother and sister-in-law were sitting around the stone table in the courtyard admiring the flowers and talking. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"The courtiers see the princess Niangniang, see Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, Niangniang, Her Royal Highness Wanfu Jin'an!"

After getting up, he half-squatted down to greet Mrs. Xia, and also greeted her, Mrs. Xia took her hand with a smile and let her sit on the empty seat beside her. Perhaps it is the only daughter in the family, and there are no sisters to play with each other every day, Li Min has a little less shyness and pretentiousness of a little lady, and she is a little more decisive and resolute, and she looks even more generous. After the servant served tea, Mrs. Xia took the lead in talking to her.

"Miss Li hasn't been to the Hou Mansion yet, has she?"

Li Min put down the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand, turned to Mrs. Xia slightly, and then replied: "Three years ago, on the birthday of the princess, I was fortunate to come to visit with my father once, and I hope Mrs. will not blame her for the abruptness of coming today!"

"Why is it so abrupt?" As soon as she said this, Mu Wenshu, who was sitting next to her, took over the words, first asked with a smile, and then swept her eyes around Xia Xue'er and Mrs. Xia, and finally fell on Li Min, and said very kindly: "I also sent a post to invite you, we will be a family in the future, so it's better to walk more!"

It was Xia Xue'er's intention to meet Li Min, but although she lived in the Hou Mansion, after all, she was a married daughter, if Li Min was invited to the Hou Mansion as a guest in her name, it would be unjustifiable, and it would inevitably make people contact Mu Xuanlong, this kind of critical time is gossip after all; But if it is replaced by Mu Wenshu, it will be different, although she is the ninth princess, she is also the wife of the prince of the Hou Mansion, and she is the new head of the Hou Mansion, Xia Qiaoyun and Li Mingzhe's wedding is just a few months later, it is normal to invite her in-laws to come to the house as a guest! Fortunately, she was also willing, Xia Xue'er only mentioned it slightly, and she sent the post to Shangshu Mansion very enthusiastically.

Li Min always has a smile on her face, she is not pretentious or too hot, just right and decent, Xia Xueer likes this attitude of being able to stand in a fixed position, neither humble nor arrogant. But I just don't know if there is a daughter and a father, and it is unknown what Li Qingcang's attitude is.

This season is the grand occasion of a hundred flowers blooming, Mrs. Xia loves peonies, so the potted plants in this Yalan Xuan are mainly peonies, one by one blooms just right, the colors are diverse, and they are not tired. The three of them enjoyed the flowers while drinking tea and chatting, but they were also happy.

At this time, the maid Qing'er walked in a hurry, as if she had something to report, walked straight towards a few people, stopped two steps behind Mrs. Xia, lowered her head and reported: "Madam, Mrs. Wang has arrived."

The voice was not loud, but a few people could hear it in their ears, Mrs. Xia smiled slightly, and said to the few people sitting next to her: "This princess is really good at picking the time, since this is the case, then let's go and take a look together, right?"

Li Min was undoubtedly asking when he heard this tone, but he didn't see Xia Xue'er and the Ninth Princess talking, so he knew that he was asking for his own opinion! So he nodded, and answered with a look of great honor: "I have long heard that this princess has good craftsmanship, and she is like a market, but I have never been fortunate enough to see how powerful she is, it seems that today is fate!"

The daughters of ordinary people, the wedding dress they wore when they got married was basically sewn out by themselves, and they hid in the boudoir to embroider the wedding dress since the day of the marriage, but most of the ladies of the rich and noble families were not happy to sew the wedding dress by themselves. Mrs. Wang is a clothier used to in the Hou Mansion, so Xia Qiaoyun's wedding dress will naturally be made by her.

Xia Xue'er had a big belly and was unable to move, so she let everyone go first, and then she slowly followed, and Mu Wenshu also understood and walked away ahead of time with her mother. Xia Xue'er was supported by Cuizhu, followed by a small team of maids, all the way to enjoy the flowers, talking and laughing, but also leisurely.

It didn't take long to see Li Min, who was supposed to leave with Mrs. Xia, coming towards her, seeing this, Xia Xue'er was not surprised, but smiled, as if she had expected it, and stopped under a begonia, only looking at the woman who was approaching with a smile. Li Min naturally found Xia Xue'er who was looking at her from afar, so she lowered her head and said a few words to the grandmother who followed behind her, and the grandmother also bowed, bowed her head and turned to leave, and then she continued to walk towards Xia Xue'er, but it seemed that she was a little nervous when she was in Yalanxuan.

"Princess Niangniang," Li Min first bowed down after approaching, and then explained: "The courtier thought that Niangniang might need a companion to talk to, so she asked Madame's opinion and turned back."

"I'm bored and I'm seeing you, Miss Li is really heart!"

Xia Xue'er replied with a slight smile to alleviate the embarrassment caused by this and also to let Li Min relax. In fact, what the truth is, both of them are smart people, so they naturally know it. Seeing through it or not saying it, this is a tacit understanding between smart people.

After receiving the signal, except for the close-fitting cuizhu and pandan, the rest of the maids all retreated a few feet and only followed from a distance.

Li Min was two steps behind Xia Xue'er, and when she looked up, the garden was full of flowers, competing for beauty, but only peonies were the majority, so she asked: "Niangniang likes peonies?"

Hearing this, Xia Xueer did not rush to deny it, but looked up at the begonia that cast a shade on herself.

"The east wind curls over the sublime, and the fragrant mist is empty and the moon is in the corridor. I am afraid that I will fall asleep in the middle of the night, so I burn high candles to shine red makeup. ”

At the same time, he raised his hand to gently touch the fragrant flower clusters, and the white and tender complexion like congealed fat touched the bright red begonias, which was even more delicate and moving!

Slowly, he said: "All flowers are colorful, but I prefer begonias in comparison."

Li Min nodded and answered: "The peony country is fragrant, the king of flowers; Begonias are bright and moving, and the flowers are chic, all of which are the objects of praise by literati and artists. ”

"If you talk about grace and luxury, the peony is well deserved, but the peony is not inferior," Speaking of this, Xia Xue'er was looking at Li Min, with a decent smile on the corner of her mouth from beginning to end, but at this time, she had a little more meaningful look, a pair of sharp eyes but not terrifying, she looked at Li Min and asked, "I don't know which of the two Miss Li prefers?"
