The maid in a double snail bun and wearing a lake-green bibi looked around as she entered a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere.

It wasn't until she entered the courtyard that the maid let out a sigh of relief, reflexively closed the courtyard door, and looked out through the crack in the door for a while, until she was sure that no one was following, and then she went all the way into a room with a half-hidden door.

In the room, a woman in her thirties, with a gorgeous face and a bewitching style between her gestures, was sitting on a soft couch, and when she saw the maid come in, she sat up a little and asked, "How is it, what have you found?" ”

This woman is the Qian family, the aunt who is favored by Wu Mingyuan in the Wu Mansion.

"Back to my aunt, the slave maid saw that Mrs. Wei Yuanhou ordered Cuixiang a few words when Mrs. Weiyuanhou got off the carriage, and then Cuixiang looked for the young master and said something for a while, and the young master almost chased a few ladies into the inner house." The maid said.

Qian Shi frowned, and couldn't get any useful news from it, so he continued to ask: "In addition to these, does Young Master Biao have any special cousins?" ”

The maid thought carefully about what she had seen before, and said, "Young Master Cousin, it seems that I have paid special attention to one of the young ladies, and that young lady is the eldest girl of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. Speaking of this, she added, "It's not just Young Master Cousin, the eldest young master was chasing Young Master Cousin and wanted to stop him, and the slave maid felt that even the eldest young master paid special attention to the eldest girl of the Feng family." Later, the maid was a little unsure whether her idea was true.

Wu Hongwen, the eldest young master of the Wu family, was engaged, and it was the youngest daughter of Mrs. Yang's mother's brother, that Miss Yang happened to be in time this year, and the two families were going to discuss the marriage, but the old lady of the Yang family, that is, Mrs. Yang's mother, liked this Miss Yang the most and wanted to keep her for two more years, so the marriage was postponed.

The Qian family thought about these news carefully in their minds, Mrs. Yang, not the eldest girl of the Feng family who came from the belly of Mrs. Weiyuan Hou, Yang Yunhao, the straw bag who would only go to the Qinglou prostitutes......

As the first person in the backyard of the Wu family, the Qian family has been able to keep Wu Mingyuan by his side for so many years, and can make Mrs. Yang helpless against her, naturally she is a smart person, only after thinking about it a little, she roughly understood what Mrs. Yang wanted to do with this lotus banquet.

Thinking of the expression of the eldest young master Wu Hongwen in the maid's mouth, Qian's eyes rolled, and he came up with a plan to summon the maid to talk in detail like this.

When the maid heard this, her face was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground with her legs limp.

"Auntie, the slave maid will never dare to do this, if Mrs. knows...... "The maid's name is Cuiliu, and like that Cuixiang, she is the big maid who is quite relied on by Mrs. Yang's side.

Thinking of Mrs. Yang's methods, Cui Liu Sheng shuddered. It's one thing for her to be held by Aunt Qian to pass on some news for her, it's really like what Aunt Qian said, it's another thing, who in the house doesn't know how much Madame thinks of the eldest young master, if this matter is discovered by Madame, she has ten lives, and it is not enough for Madame to take it.

Aunt Qian glanced at Cuiliu with disdain when she heard this, the people around the fool are really stupid.

This house is Mrs. Yang's compensation, and Mrs. Yang did not allow the Qian family to come to this lotus banquet, but the Qian family accidentally got some words from Cuiliu's mouth before, and guessed what Mrs. Yang planned to use this lotus banquet to achieve. As a concubine who was determined to make the main room unpeaceful, the Qian family grinded Wu Mingyuan and asked Mrs. Yang to bring her too.

Mrs. Yang didn't want to deal with the Qian family, but she was afraid that if she was not allowed, the Qian family would have something to sabotage her plan during this time, so she brought the Qian family with her, but she was not allowed to attend the lotus banquet, and only allocated a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere for her.

If it weren't for the available people around her who couldn't bring it, the Qian family wouldn't have thought of asking Cuiliu to find out the news for her.

Seeing that Cuiliu's face was still full of fear, Qian's eyes rolled slightly, and he changed to a smile on his face, and his tone of voice became softer: "Cuiliu, as long as you help me do this, the matter between you and Wu Cheng will be wrapped up in me, not only will you get what you want to marry Wu Cheng, but also promise you a set of red gold noodles and two hundred taels of silver." Steward Wu's eyes are long in the sky, he may not look down on you as a daughter-in-law, you have to think about it, such a good thing has passed through this village, but there will be no such shop, in the future, watching Wu Cheng marry someone else, it will be useless if you slowly regret it......"

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old little maid was at the beginning of her love, and by chance, she met Wu Cheng, the son of Steward Wu, and secretly tasted the forbidden fruit.

However, the Yang family postponed the marriage with the Wu family for two years, and Mrs. Yang asked her son to clean himself since he was a child in order to marry this niece. Mrs. Yang was afraid that her son would not hold back a bad thing in the past two years, and she was ready to open her face to Cuiliu soon to be the eldest young master Wu Hongwen's roommate, and then send her away before Miss Yang got married.

Cuiliu's lover Wu Cheng is the son of the chief steward of the Wu Mansion, and the steward Wu is high-spirited, not only freeing the whole family from slavery, but also determined to marry his son a daughter-in-law of a good family who can read and write. Even if he didn't know that Mrs. Yang had this plan, Steward Wu would never take a fancy to Cuiliu.

If it weren't for this, Cuiliu would not have been coerced by her after the Qian family found out about her affair with Wu Cheng.

Qian's conditions undoubtedly scratched Cuiliu's itch, on the one hand, she was discovered by her wife who did not listen to Aunt Qian, and on the other hand, she obeyed Aunt Qian's instructions to fly with Wu Cheng with a rich dowry, and only struggled slightly, Cuiliu made up her mind to fall to Aunt Qian's side.

Cuiliu's choice as expected made Qian smile proudly, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows showed style.

"When the time comes, you will ...... like this"

Cuiliu nodded as she listened, and after Qian finished speaking, she repeated it again, until she was sure that she had written it down, and then she left the small courtyard and looked all the way back.

……

The best scenery in this lotus garden is the lotus pond in the garden.

This lotus pond is much larger than the conventional lotus pond, about five or six acres of appearance, I don't know whether it is out of the importance of this lotus feast, or Mrs. Yang already loves lotus, this lotus pond is planted with a lot of different varieties of lotus, the surface of the lotus pond is covered with green lotus leaves, if you don't know the inside, I'm afraid you will really step on it.

Xu is Mrs. Yang has other arrangements, at this time, there is a boat lady in the lotus pond sailing a boat, clearing the full lotus leaves and creating a path that can allow the boat to row to the opposite side.

The lotus pond is an irregular circle, and there is a three- or four-meter-wide path around the lotus pond for people to walk and play, but at this time, there are several large water tanks with water lilies on the paths on both sides of the lotus pond, and the lotus pond is divided into two by the waist.

On this side of the water tank, it is a place for the women to play, and on the other side of the water tank, it is the activity venue for the male guests.

Famous ladies, everyone's sons, in the graceful lotus flower undulating with the wind, looming across the lake to forget, but also have a lot of fun.
