The back garden of Ningguo Mansion is very wide, about 20 acres as far as the eye can see, in addition, there are peony gardens, pear orchards, plum gardens, chrysanthemum gardens, poultry and bird gardens are self-contained, adding up to fear that there are not fifty or sixty acres wide, Jinxiu lived in Chengguo Mansion during the New Year, and walked around in that mansion in his spare time, he did not finish the four corners of a mansion in half a month, the land in the capital is expensive, and the Guogong Mansion can still have such a system, covering an area of 100 acres and more than 200 acres at every turn, which shows the honor of the Duke of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The whole back garden is already full of flowers, beautiful, the peony garden scenery is more dazzling, charming and dazzling, as far as the eye can see, the garden is full of blooming flowers, straight like a sea of flowers, the sea bowl of all kinds of peony flowers, dewdrops, draped in the glow, crowded and overlapped, the end is rich and gorgeous, bright and delicate, beautiful and moving!

Duchess Ningguo is good at raising peony flowers, she married into the Xu family to have this peony garden, almost all the peony varieties that can be collected in the Great Xia Dynasty are here, and there is no one in the entire capital who grows peony flowers and dares to compare with the peony garden of Ningguo Mansion.

Jinxiu and a few girls wandered around the peony garden for half a circle, so it was a feast for the eyes, feeling thirsty, and a little hungry, looking at the two tall girls with pale faces, it was estimated that they were tired, and there was already a grandmother who went to talk to the master's house, arranged a pavilion, and everyone went to sit down and rest.

The dim sum and fruits that had been placed on the table for the guests to take were removed, and the housekeeper led the maidservants to come with trays and put hot tea, fresh snacks and fruits on the table.

The two Miss Gao are sick and weak, and they are still taking medicine, but they will not use other people's food, and the servants of the county king's mansion who have been following them come up with the food box, and the grandmother commands the personal maid to take it out in the same way, and then wait for the young lady to eat.

Jinxiu looked at those things, in addition to boiled water, a few delicate snacks, there was actually steaming porridge, and then medicinal juice.

The food was filled with silver vessels, and before eating, the grandmother had to carefully examine it with a silver needle, and then let the maid taste it before sending it to the two young ladies.

Luo Yan and Jia Hui are not girls from ordinary families, in the face of this situation, there is no difference in their faces, and Luo Yan only has a trace of envy in her eyes when she bows her head.

The Guogong Mansion, after all, is not as honorable and rich as the County King's Mansion.

Gao Nuanyun and Gao Qingyue also let Jinxiu and Luo Yan and Jia Hui politely thank each other before using the food, what was just placed on the table was very fresh and good, there was no need to grab things from the sick and weak to eat.

Jinxiu sighed slightly, and said with a smile: "There is only tea here, and I also want to drink some boiled water." ”

Gao Nuanyun listened, hurriedly stood up, and newly picked up the jade white porcelain pot filled with boiled water to pour a cup for her, Jinxiu took it: "I'll pour it myself, I don't know how much boiled water you brought, if I drink it, I'm afraid you won't have to drink it for a while, what should I do?" ”

Gao Qingyue said with a smile: "Sister don't worry, we sisters each have three pots of water, enough to drink for half a day, and we will go home when the water is gone, and we won't stay here for too long." ”

When Luo Yan heard this, she couldn't help but be a little trance: won't you stay too long? The girls in the flower hall just now were obviously talking lively, and the prince of Nan'an County also came, and he still wanted to participate in the poem, which didn't even start, are you leaving?

Jia Hui said: "Let's play for a while, I heard that there is a poetry club, so I'll go back after watching a round of poems!" ”

Gao Nuanyun nodded with a smile: "Naturally, I want it, seeing that we have brought all the medicinal soup, we have to play until we can't hold on and then go back!" ”

Luo Yan secretly sighed at this time.

Jinxiu took advantage of the little girls to speak, pretending to see how much boiling water was in the pot, lifted the lid of the pot, and tapped it with her fingertips, dripping a small drop of pure spiritual spring into it.

The medicinal herbs bought in Chizhou still have half a month to reach the capital, and this spiritual spring is enough for the little sisters to support the pills with full energy and avoid too much pain.

Jinxiu only drank a cup of boiled water, ate two pieces of snacks, and a few people gossiped around the table for a while, and then saw the slaves and maids of the Ningguo Mansion marching into the garden in line with food boxes, and set up a banquet in several places that had already been circled.

The male and female seats are placed in the peony garden, but a few pink veils are also pulled up in the garden to separate the screen, although the male and female seats are close to each other can hear the sound, and can see the figure opposite the veil, but the image is not clear.

In fact, the defense of men and women in the Great Xia Dynasty is not very important, these partitions are just a formality.

The table is set up, under the guidance of the host, the male and female guests have poured into the peony garden, sit down separately, enjoy the flowers while enjoying the food and wine, and suddenly, the whole peony garden is full of laughter and laughter, and the praise and praise can be piled up into a mountain.

The lady of the Ningguo Mansion had already sent someone to invite a few Jinxiu to sit down, and then she learned that several princes, princesses and princesses of the royal family also came to participate in the peony banquet.

Luo Yan was looking towards the men's seat, but in a blink of an eye, she saw the Jin family beckoning to her, and the place where the Jin family was standing was at the entrance of the men's seat, she gritted her teeth, and smiled at Gao Nuanyun and Gao Qingyue: "I'm afraid that something is going on with my mother, I'll go over and take a look, and then come and talk to the two sisters later!" ”

Gao Nuanyun didn't say much, just nodded, Gao Qingyue said: "Everyone is sitting at the table at this time, it's inconvenient to walk around, and it's okay if Miss Luo doesn't use it." ”

"It's coming! Since you visit the garden together, you always have to accompany your sisters to enjoy these flowers! Luo Yan smiled gently, didn't say a word to Jinxiu, and didn't look at Jia Hui, and walked away directly.

Jia Hui snorted at her back: "Do you know what etiquette is?" It's weird! ”

Jinxiu patted her on the shoulder: "You just understand, what do you do?" ”

Jia Hui's eyes flashed: "I don't understand everything I say, it's better than her!" ”

Jinxiu cut it: "Huang Po sells melons!" ”

Jia Hui's eyebrows were crooked, and she smiled frankly: "How about selling yourself and boasting?" Can you sell it without boasting? ”

Gao Qingyue watched and listened from the sidelines, and she was also very happy.

A few people walked to the Duchess of Ningguo and the princess of Nan'an County, the Duchess of Ningguo led Jinxiu and Jia Hui to meet several princesses and princesses, and greeted other wives, and the princess of Nan'an County pulled her two baby bumps one by one to caress them, shh

The Gao sisters are not in good health, it is well known that the princess of Nan'an County did not sit at the table, and led her two daughters to eat in a relatively quiet pavilion, Jinxiu wanted to take Jia Hui to the Ruan family's table, but was retained by Princess Ren and Princess Li, so she had to sit on the seat of the princess and princesses with Duchess Ning Guo.

At this time, I was able to say a few words to the Duchess of Ningguo, and asked why I didn't see the third girl Xu today, and the Duchess of Ningguo sighed slightly, saying that the third girl's face was uncomfortable every spring, with some small prickly particles, itchy, painful and red, and the doctor said that the wind could not blow, so she had to be stuffy in the house these days, and did not dare to come out to see people.
