Half a month passed in a flash.

I don't know what kind of psychology it is, since the fury that day, Zhao Youjun has detained Feng Mingwu, and the mother and daughter have not stepped out of the courtyard for half a month, let alone any other actions.

Of course, this does not mean that Zhao Youjun is willing to love each other as a family from now on, but it is more like the calm before the storm.

This day is the sixth day of the sixth month of June, the day when Mrs. Yang of the Zhizhou Mansion held a lotus appreciation banquet. It seems that God is helping Mrs. Yang, it was very hot a few days ago, but last night it suddenly rained heavily, bringing rare coolness and freshness to this summer day.

The time of the lotus banquet is set in the afternoon, and the Tao is to let all the ladies and ladies enjoy themselves in the afternoon, and then take advantage of the night to appreciate Mrs. Yang's newly acquired Dutch famous products after dinner.

Feng Zhige has always done what he said he promised others, and since he personally promised that Mrs. Yang would be present that day, he groomed the mirror under the service of the maids as soon as he had lunch.

The dense green silk was tied into a double bun, decorated with a few elegant bead hairpins, and then inserted into the jade lotus-shaped step shaker that I bought in Fengyixuan six years ago.

The delicate and smooth face is white and tender without fat powder, and the lips are even more vermilion, and several maids feel that fat powder is a blasphemy against such a face, so they only trim their eyebrows slightly, and then paste a red lotus-shaped flower on the center of their eyebrows.

The dress is the ten moonflower skirts sent by Feng Yixuan last time, the skirt is gradually deepening green, and the shape of the lotus leaf is outlined with silver thread, and the big skirt is very easy to raise with the pace, especially when turning around, the green turns into a vibrant lotus leaf, which makes people seem to witness the fragrance of the peerless lotus blooming in an instant.

Feng Zhige had never participated in this banquet between those ladies and ladies before, and this was the first time she had dressed up like this. Of course, the effect is obvious, as can be seen from the amazement in the eyes of several maids.

After tidying up the clothes on Feng Zhige's body, Banxia took a few steps back, looked at it and didn't find anything wrong, then he exclaimed: "The girl should really dress up well." ”

Fufeng on the side chuckled and quipped when he heard this, "Look at Sister Banxia's unruly appearance, if the girl dresses like this every day, I'm afraid Sister Banxia won't be able to come back to her senses every day." ”

Banxia's face turned red, and he pointed to Fufeng, "Dead girl, tell you to talk more." ”

Several maids laughed out loud, laughing and laughing for a while, so lively.

Banxia is the same age as Fufeng and Feng Zhige, Banxia is a few months longer, the two of them are calm and smart, and they have learned a lot of things with Mama Li in recent years, not only taking care of the things in Feng Zhige's room in an orderly manner, but also very majestic in the hearts of the second- and third-class maids below.

In the past few years, there have been maids and women in Chengmingtang and Luoxia Courtyard who have been beaten and scolded and sold from time to time, but the maids and women called Luo Shuixuan secretly rejoiced, compared to them, they were too lucky. Although the master usually doesn't talk much, he is kind and kind, as long as they do their part well, they don't have to worry about beating and scolding. Although Mama Li is strict, she is not an unreasonable person, and the two sisters are also kind, and when they encounter something they don't understand, they have never shirked it.

After some comparison, the second- and third-class maids who started with white and green in Luoshui Xuan always warned themselves to know how to cherish their blessings, and they naturally let me be humble and harmonious when they get along.

Feng Zhige smiled and watched the maids frolicking, and when he saw that the hour was not early, he said: "Okay, the time is almost up, Banxia and Fufeng will go out with me, and the others will just guard the yard." ”

All the maids should be in unison.

As soon as Feng Zhige arranged the things in the courtyard, a maid from Chengmingtang came to inform him that Zhao Youjun and Feng Mingwu had already left the Hanging Flower Gate, and specially asked Feng Zhige when he could leave.

Feng Zhige smiled slightly, it seems that there are really a lot of good programs waiting for her at today's lotus appreciation banquet, otherwise, why would Zhao Youjun's mother and daughter be so eager.

After laughing, Feng Zhige did not deliberately procrastinate, and took Mama Li and Banxia Fufeng out of the courtyard.

When Feng Zhige and the others arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, there were already four carriages parked at the door, Zhao Youjun boarded the carriage early, and saw Feng Zhige's figure from a distance, Feng Mingwu couldn't hide the jealousy in his eyes, and said with a pout: "Hmph, she has the biggest shelf, and we have to wait for her." If not...... I'm going to make her look good! ”

That day, I learned Zhao Youjun's true identity from the conversation between Zhao Youjun and Mu Qingwan, Feng Mingwu has changed a lot, she used to be just delicate and willful, but now she has a little more in her eyes, and when she speaks, she can't wait to be able to put her high on the table.

Zhao Youjun frowned, but then thought that if she was still the original eldest princess of Qingping, her daughter would be so noble, so she would let her go.

However, for the next plan, Zhao Youjun still scolded Feng Mingwu a few times at this time, Feng Mingwu knew what would happen today, if her appearance was too obvious, she couldn't say that Feng Zhige's cheap girl should see that something was wrong. Today's lotus feast, in a way, is only for Feng Zhige, if she doesn't go, what's the use of their painstaking planning?

glanced at Feng Mingwu warningly, Zhao Youjun lifted the curtain and glanced at Feng Zhige, and said lightly: "It's not early, hurry up and get in the car and go." ”

Feng Zhige looked at the curtain of the carriage in front of him that was still swaying slightly, Yiyan and Mama Li got into the second carriage, and Banxia and Fufeng got into the last one.

The horse's hooves stepped on the bluestone paved road, making a regular "Dede" sound, and Zhao Youjun's mother and daughter in the carriage in front were laughing, as if they saw the miserable end of Feng Zhige after today.

Feng Zhige also raised her red lips lightly, her slender fingers beating lightly at her knees, I don't know what kind of good show Zhao Youjun and that Mrs. Yang are going to invite her to watch, it's really exciting.

……

The place where Mrs. Yang held a lotus banquet was not the Zhizhou Mansion, but a dowry house of Mrs. Yang.

Mrs. Yang was very favored when she was in the boudoir, and when she got married, considering that Wu Mingyuan was still a poor scholar at that time, her father not only paid a lot of gold and silver, but also gave her the most extensive and beautiful house of the Yang family in Huzhou City.

This house is not in the middle of the city, but in the relatively quiet south of the city, which is perfect for all kinds of banquets. It is said that the most famous thing in the house is that the lotus pond in the house is planted with many famous lotus flowers.

Although the time of this lotus feast was only a general afternoon, and there was no specific time limit, when Feng Zhige and his party arrived, there were still many carriages gathered in the house called "Lotus Garden".

Some of the little maids in green clothes led the coachmen to drive the carriages into the stables, some led the sons of each family to the outer courtyard to rest, and the maids dressed in the lake green armor brought the ladies of each family into the inner courtyard under the command of Mrs. Yang.

People come and go at the door of the house, and it is very lively.
