The eldest lady Lin and the second lady Xu brought Jinyi, Jinru, Jinxiu, and Qin Xiang and Qin Lian, followed by a large number of maids.

The commotion went to the shadow wall of the outer house, and the steward who had already arranged to go out prepared several carriages, and everyone got into the carriage in turn. Jin Ru wanted to ride with Jin Yi, so the Lin family took Qin Xiang and Qin Lian to take a car, and the Xu mother and daughter took one by themselves. The three Zhulun canopy cars, plus the maids and women who followed behind, also took the car and drove out of the mansion all the way.

Muxiyuan, where the meeting is located, is on the eastern outskirts of the city, only a few miles away from Jianye City. It was originally a courtyard of the former emperor, but after the death of the former queen mother, it was abandoned. In the past two years, he has been taken down by the owner of Yishantang. However, it does not live in the city, except for the twice-a-year gathering, and the other time is often used to hold small gatherings in the city for people to enjoy the garden.

On the plaque of the red lacquered high gate outside the courtyard gate, there are indeed three big characters of "Yishantang" written by the royal pen. The terrain at the gate of the courtyard is very high, and after a hole through the flower moon, the beautiful scenery in the garden rushes to the face.

The rockery is stacked and green, the lake is like a mirror, there is a bluestone road that winds along the stream, and a rather high temple in the distance is a white wall and black tile, which looks elegant and noble.

There are some smaller pavilions scattered around the garden, either by the water or hidden among the flowers and trees.

The garden is full of cinnamon fragrance, fragrant and rich, and a little golden yellow fine flowers bloom. There are many varieties of wood in the garden, such as golden ball, Zhu Dangui, dripping yellow, weir rainbow gui...... Scattered in the east and west of a bush, at first glance it seems to be messy, but people walk in it, always feel that there is a fragrance lingering around the body, the shade is appropriate, just right.

At this time, it is the end of winter, but the garden is as warm as spring, I think there is geothermal heat, or attract hot springs, so that the spring here is harmonious, suitable for the flowering of the woods.

Jin Yi followed everyone into the courtyard through the west gate, and along the way, many noble ladies and embroidered pavilion ladies knew each other. The garden is spacious, but it doesn't seem crowded. Threes and threes, or laughing and laughing under the flowers and trees, or stopping and talking by the lakeside, a happy scene.

The men who participated in the meeting entered through the east gate of the courtyard, and did not mingle with the women.

Jin Yi and everyone entered the park for a moment, and they were also shocked by the prosperous scene in front of them. There were thirty or forty ladies and ladies. Coupled with the maids they brought and the maids shuttling in the garden, there were more than 100 people. All of them are beads and emeralds, rings and flowers, embroidered brocade jackets, fat and white, which look graceful and graceful.

What a rich and beautiful man.

Xu Shi pulled Jin Yi and introduced everyone to her one by one.

Among the ladies of the family, they are often called by the word in the name of the boudoir.

Jin Yi has to remember which family and which room is the lady, but also remember the boudoir word, Rao is her memory is very good, so as not to call the wrong person.

Her face was calm and quiet, her smile was gentle and polite, and she greeted everyone one by one.

Everyone heard that Jin Yi was the daughter of the Marquis of Qingrong who was sent to Shangxiu Hall when she was a child, and saw that she had snow muscles and purple eyes, which was quite exotic. All of them opened their eyes wide and looked carefully.

Since the death of Yekang nine years ago, most of the Yekang women who married to Huajing Dynasty fell out of favor in the mansion and died of illness, and only one queen was left as a monk.

Empress Jiang is extremely favored by today's saints, and the prince she produced was made the crown prince when she was young. There are a lot of people in the court who support the empress, and now they are attached to the princelings.

Empress Jiang is so beautiful that people don't dare to look at her, so everyone is deeply curious about the appearance of Jinyi in front of them, and some people who are familiar with the Qin Mansion even came up, took her hand, and talked affectionately. There are also some high-minded ones, their eyes are cold but urgent, and they are coiled back and forth on her face.

The eyes of the people in fragrant clothes and gorgeous clothes were different, some were surprised, some were disdainful, some were pitying, and some were disgusted...... Jin Yi always maintained an elegant smile on her face and was unmoved.

Hui was laughing and talking with a woman in a multicolored carved silk stone blue and silver mouse gown, who was the brother and sister-in-law of Hui's mother's family, known as Lady Joan.

The Xinye Xu family is a big family with many branches. Xu's branch was originally a side branch, and her brother Xu Tongqing won the name of the three yuan in the hall more than ten years ago, but in the end, there was no one behind him, and he only served as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. It was not until the Honglu Temple Qing Zhishi returned to old age that he was promoted. Although Honglu Temple is one of the six temples, the façade is bright and is the first in Jianye City, but it has no real power, only a clear water yamen.

Although the current Marquis Qingrong has an idle post in the Honglu Temple, he is under his uncle. But every time Xu Tongqing saw Qin Zhili, he had to give a salute first and be respectful to him.

Xu Shi beckoned Jin Yi over and said to her with a smile: "This is your aunt." ”

Jin Yi raised his eyes and saw that he was nearly forty years old, and the powder on his face was a little thick, but it was difficult to hide the old state at the corners of his lips and eyes. A pair of Danfeng eyes looked a little sharp, but the thin lips habitually smiled.

Jin Yi owed a blessing, but said in his mouth: "Mrs. Joan is fine." "The voice is soft and pleasant.

When the Xu family was still in the boudoir, there were many female dependents in the family, and it was inevitable that there would be intrigue on weekdays, and later all the sisters got married one after another, and the Xu Mansion was still a concubine and concubine.

This Mrs. Qiong, is Xu Tongqing's main room, after many years in this battle, she has already hidden a knife in her smile and has thorns on her eyebrows, listening to Jinyi's voice Mrs. Qiong, her face is slightly ugly, but her mouth is very affectionate, and she took her hand and said: "Sister Yi has grown so big." I heard your mother say that you had a hard time in Shangxiutang, but now you can be regarded as coming back. ”

Jin Yi quietly withdrew her hand from her wet palm, and the smile on her face was even more humble, "My stepmother has been doing housework at home all these years, and it has been very hard. Now that I'm back, I'm going to help my stepmother and take care of her worries. ”

The smile on Xu's face was even worse, and he praised her: "My daughter is very sensible. ”

Qin Jinxiu, who was on the side, said: "The second sister came out of Shangxiu Hall, and her cooking skills must be extremely exquisite, if she helps her mother take care of things in the kitchen, she will definitely be competent." ”

Qin Jinxiu is dressed very brightly today, with a rose purple peony pattern brocade jacket and a jade-colored embroidered folded branch pile flower skirt. The head is combed with a fragrant bun near the clouds, and the silver hairpin with beads of the emerald grass head insect is exquisitely pointed, lined with peach cheeks and apricot face, bright and dazzling. There is always a sense of pride in her demeanor, so it is very natural for her sister to take care of the kitchen.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Xu's face, and he unconsciously looked around.

Jin Yi was in the side eyes of everyone, his eyes were lowered, and he was silent. This low-eyed and pleasing appearance fell in the eyes of everyone, which made everyone feel a little sorry for her.

If she is only from a small family, with her appearance and temperament, even if she has been in Shangxiutang for a few years, she can still find a concubine from a family, or a concubine from a lower family, and be a wife. But she is the daughter of the Marquis of Qingrong, the low threshold can't be attached, and the threshold is high, this Shang Xiutang's background is too gossipy.
