Chapter 259 Huanran Villa
In a blink of an eye, it is the end of April, which is also a good season for peonies to bloom. wWw。 しwχS520。 coM
Fortunately, the drizzly days have passed, the weather is getting warmer day by day, and the scenery is pleasantly tight. And the Ziling Mountain in the north of the capital is even more beautiful, with green shades and red and pink patches, which is very lovely.
Although Zhang Xuran has a perverse personality, she is a person who loves flowers and plants, and her mansion in Huairou has a courtyard dedicated to her raising flowers as a flower room. It's a pity that there are no such conditions in this capital. But fortunately, she is her father's favorite youngest daughter, so at her request, she gave her a Huanran Mountain Villa in Ziling Mountain as a dowry.
Although this Huanran Villa is not very big, it is exquisite and luxurious, and she also specially uses Yunyan Courtyard, a courtyard in the villa, as a flower room, which is planted with all kinds of flowers and plants. And it is the season of peony blooming at this time. The pots of blooming peony flowers in the flower room include Yao Huang, Wei Zi, Zhao Fan Bean, Green Xiangyu, Heikui and so on...... Many of them were transplanted from Luoyang at a great price, and they were very expensive.
And this time she held a banquet in Huanran Villa, so that those young ladies could see their favorite flowers, the so-called solitary happiness is better than public happiness...... Of course, this is just a small idea of hers, and the most important thing is that she can be regarded as creating a good opportunity, for that good opportunity for Zhu Zhiyuan to show her skills and destroy her rival......
But the banquet is tomorrow, and she has nothing to do today to take care of her precious flowers. Looking at this cluster of fully opened or half-opened peonies of various colors, Zhang Xuran was very proud in her heart, she took the Dongqing glaze to water the flowers of Jintianluo, watered the flowers, and gently smelled the faint fragrance of flowers. The mood is very comfortable.
It's just that at this time, I heard the big girl okra next to her running over in a hurry, looking very panicked, but when I came to Zhang Xuran's side, I saw her smiling leisurely, but I didn't dare to say it. "County Lord, that ......"
"What's so flustered, how do you teach you on weekdays?" Zhang Xuran was in a very good mood. I didn't lose my temper with okra. Still with a smile on his cheeks, he asked.
"Yes, it's the prince of the county, he went to the palace today. After coming out, for some reason, I took two Loulan girls back to the county palace. It is said that it is, it is ......" Okra didn't dare to say it, because she looked at her county lord's face was already very ugly.
"Go on." Zhang Xuran threw away the flower and said. The flower was poured on the ground, and rolled twice, but it was not broken.
"That's the concubine given by the emperor to the prince of the county." Okra gritted her teeth and said, and her body couldn't help but tremble after speaking. I was ready for the county lord to be angry.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhang Xunran was so angry that he stomped towards the okra, and behind the okra was the favorite flower of his own county lord, and he was afraid of kicking the flower and didn't dare to dodge. So I took this kick firmly. Her face turned pale in pain, but she didn't dare to say anything.
"Are you stupid, why are you still stunned. Hurry up and get ready, I'm going back to the British Mansion. Zhang Xuran said loudly.
Okra couldn't help but smile when she heard this, "Yes." Yes, the slave and maid will go and prepare. After speaking, he hurriedly walked out of the door of the flower room, and trotted all the way back to the east wing of Yunfan Courtyard where Zhang Xuran lived to prepare.
As for Zhang Xunran, he was even more annoyed, and he wanted to vent but he was afraid that he would hurt the flowers around him, so he had to go out angrily, and sped up all the way back to Yunfan Courtyard.
just waited for Zhang Xuran to go back to the East Chamber and dress up carefully, so he took the eldest girl Okra and Qiulan back to the British Mansion to discuss with his mother, and then went to the palace with his mother to find Princess Qingyun. The celebration princess is her eldest sister and daughter who has become Concubine Zhenjing, and she is also the seventh sister of today's official family, and the official family is still very good to her, so she is ready to let her stay in the palace for another half a year before going out of the palace to build the princess's mansion, so she has to go to her niece who is only ten years old with her mother and ask for an understanding. Look at her fiancé, the king of the county, what is going on, this is the first to bring back the two concubines before marrying her. And she is also a Loulan woman, it is said that the Loulan woman is good at singing and dancing and is gorgeous, how can she tolerate her brother who is the king of the county staying in such two concubines? The point is that when she didn't pass the door, wasn't it more dangerous?
And in order to go to the palace today, she also deliberately wore a peach-colored placket with gold embroidered lotus, and below it was a moon-white fringed palace skirt wrapped around the smoke yarn, and a set of gold-inlaid jade and butterfly jewelry, which was a very noble dress......
Not to mention that after Zhang Xuran returned to the British mansion, she went to the palace with her mother to see her niece Princess Qingyun, and asked if she had one, two, three.
The Zhou Mansion is quite lively, because in addition to Zhou Mengya, who was also invited to attend the banquet held by the county lord of Huairou in her Huanran Villa, Zhou Jin'an's wife Wei Xiuxian, who is now called Zhou Wei's Mrs. Friday, was also invited. And because of this, Mrs. Zhou spoke, and asked them to take the two young ladies who had not yet married in the Zhou Mansion to go.
And these two young ladies are talking about Zhou Mengjuan and Zhou Mengchan, Zhou Mengjuan is a veritable Miss Zhou Fuyan even if she is a family, as for Miss Tuesday, who has already been married and has not yet received the book home. That's thanks to her hard work and filial piety in front of her grandmother, and it has something to do with her mother to accompany the old man Zhou who only knows how to cultivate and refine pills. Now if you want to say that Old Madam Zhou cares about her son the most, in fact, it is none other than her son, so no matter what the purpose of Aunt Luo, it is already very good that she can accompany Zhou Baida to refine the pill and take care of him. It's better than Zhou Liu's wife, the main room of Master Zhou, but he hasn't even stepped into the gate of his courtyard.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhou was also quite satisfied with Zhou Mengchan's mother and daughter, so she told her granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law that they must bring Zhou Mengjuan and Zhou Mengchan to the banquet. Zhou Mengya and Zhou Wei couldn't, so they had to agree to go to Huanran Villa together tomorrow to attend the banquet.
So today's Zhou Mansion is very lively, because the Zhou Mansion called the tailor of the first garment shop in the capital to send clothes to the young ladies and ladies of the Zhou Mansion.
This fairy brocade is really worthy of being the first clothing shop in the capital, and the craftsmanship of the tailor is also the best, and the ladies of the Zhou Mansion put on their clothes, and they are really like immortals...... (To be continued.) )>
