The dark fragrance floats in the air, the tactful song is melodious and beautiful, the warm pavilion is as pleasant as spring, and the carefully arranged narcissus potted plants are pleasing to the eye and fresh.

This is the warm pavilion in the front hall of the Marquis of Wusu, Mrs. Su is unwell, and after the Xia family led everyone to retreat, she listened to the music here.

The song was sung by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, singing the soft and glutinous tune of the south of the Yangtze River, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

"It's the first time I've heard this kind of song, and it's really good!" Mrs. Chen sat on the kang, half-leaning on the pillow embroidered with dark patterns in red and gold thread, her eyes slightly squinted, and she looked enjoyed.

When Xia heard this, he put his arm on the kang table of the old red sandalwood carved landscape, leaned forward and approached Mrs. Chen, and said with a smile: "Old lady, you like to listen to operas and songs, but what kind of famous characters in Beijing have you not heard?" It was also because of a new chef in the house who made Jiangnan cuisine that I remembered this fresh trick. ”

Old Madam Chen threw Xia Shi a well-behaved gaze, "It's not that you want to be rewarded again, but you completely touched my mind." ”

The room burst into laughter again.

Lin Wanwan sat in the chair on the side, her eyes fell on the girl who was singing, as if she was looking at her, but it was extremely empty.

On her left and right were Lin Guanying and Su Mengting, both of whom she hated, and she had no interest in chatting at all.

After marrying into the Hou Mansion that year, this 'sister-in-law' did not give her a lot of face and trouble, which always provoked the Xia family to blame her.

It's not interesting to be a guest like this!

The partial brother was also called away by Su Zhaoyu and Su Sanye, and it seems that the guests who came to the door before also knew the brother.

Lin Wanwan pursed her lips secretly, only feeling that all this was very boring.

After sitting for a while, Lin Guanying, who also felt bored and still had something in her heart, rolled her eyes.

Then I saw her leaning over, and she was about to get close to Su Mengting through Lin Wanwan.

Fang Cai Xia focused on her precious daughter-in-law, if she wants to marry into the Hou Mansion, it is also necessary to win Su Mengting's favor first.

Looking at Lin Guanying's stammering appearance on the pole, Lin Wanwan sneered in her heart.

Su Mengting seems to be gentle like water, and she is a good person, but her eyes are long towards the sky.

The daughters she made friends with, one of them was higher than the other, and they were all county lords and princesses.

At the beginning, she didn't even look at her sister-in-law who was a serious daughter of the second grade, how could she look down on Lin Guanying, who was born as a concubine!

Sure enough, Lin Guanying said a few words of praise and praise, but all she got was Su Mengting hooked the corners of her mouth.

Lin Guanying had a kind of embarrassment that the hot noodles were attached to the cold buttocks, Lin Wanwan bent the corners of her lips evilly, and her clear eyes were as clear as the surface of a lake sprinkled by the sun.

It was at this moment that the melodious sound of the song stopped.

After the song, Xia shouted appreciation, and his own maid stepped forward with the silver.

Mrs. Chen also smiled at this time and asked her to pick another song to sing, and if she sang it, she would also appreciate it.

The girl introduced the song.

In Xia's space, looking at the restraint of several juniors, his eyes fluctuated a few times, and he whispered a few words to his maid, and saw the maid walking to Su Mengting's ear.

Su Mengting had obvious dissatisfaction on her face, and gave Xia a protesting look, if Xia glanced at her.

"The sisters of the Lin Mansion are visiting the Hou Mansion for the first time, can I take the sisters around the garden?" Su Mengting knew her mother's decision, so she had to get up and smile reluctantly, and sent an invitation to the juniors present. "Eldest sister, second sister and fourth sister, let's go together, and you can also find a place with a good scenery to play some small games or something."

This was what Xia meant, and she immediately continued: "At this time, the sun is good, let's go to the garden, just stay away from the water." Today, the surface of the lake has melted and the edge of the lake is even more slippery. As he spoke, he deliberately explained to a maid beside her and asked her to go with her.

All the juniors bowed and retreated, and Mrs. Chen also told her to let Sister Lin Wanwan leave.

The garden of the Hou Mansion is exquisitely carved, and the scenery is excellent, Lin Wanwan is heart has a diaphragm, looking at the familiar grass and trees, she only feels annoyed to the eyes.

It's winter, and the garden is still green with only some hardy shrubs, and the rockery has become a place that the girls like more. The rockery with strange rocks is always more interesting to the eye than to the dead branches.

Although Su Mengting is only eleven years old now, she is extremely sociable.

She saw that everyone was talking about the rockery and strange rocks, so she chose the octagonal pavilion on this side. instructed the maid to make tea in the pavilion, and asked someone to fetch the kettle ring for the game.

These are all used to playing by the ladies in Beijing, and everyone feels that they are not interested in it after a while.

Su Mengyuan, who was in the third room of the Hou Mansion, was only nine years old, with a round face, innocent and cute, and happily suggested with a clapped hand: "Let's play cat catching, you can hide behind the stones, and you can't catch the punishment song." ”

Su Linting pursed her lips disdainfully, "That's just for children, what's so fun." ”

Seeing that her sister disagreed, Su Mengyuan's little face turned red instantly, and her big eyes quickly spread with water vapor.

When Lin Wanwan saw her pitiful appearance, her heart turned into water, and she remembered that in her previous life, Su Mengyuan always secretly stuffed her with some small candy or something to comfort her. I couldn't help but stand up and say, "It's good to catch cats, I haven't played for a long time." The land here is big, and there are many things to cover, so it's better to find some small prices that don't hurt to smash people, and we lead the ghosts, and there is no excitement. ”

Xia's meaning is to ask Su Mengting to entertain people well, and if Lin Wanwan is willing, it is not easy to refuse. Moreover, if she provoked her fourth sister's stingy bag, she would inevitably be taught a lesson by the Xia family, so Su Mengwan asked people to prepare things without saying a word.

In just a moment, the maid took the opaque brocade and held some small beads for them to smash the 'ghost'.

In the first round, the 'ghost' was the third lady of the Su family, Su Mengxin, who drew a short lot.

Lin Wanwan's image of Su Mengxin is only the orphan of the second room of the Hou Mansion, a girl with a weak temperament and not much louder than mosquitoes.

Everything was ready, the little girls laughed and dispersed, all of them deftly hidden, and kept using beads to lure Su Mengxin, who was a ghost, to catch themselves. A moment of laughter and screams of joy resounded through the corner of the rockery.

The little girl had forgotten that the game was childish, and at this moment, a soapy figure passed by in the distance.

"Shizi, it seems that the young lady brought the guests to play, are we going to take a detour?"

Su Zhaoheng heard the joyful laughter, paused, and asked in a low voice after the guards behind him saw the person clearly.

Raising his eyes to look at the large open space covered by the rockery, Su Zhaoheng's gaze fell on a point, and his starry eyes were deep and dark. "Straight through the rockery, you can't bother them."

From here, he had to go to Su Zhaoyu's courtyard, and it was the closest to pass through the rockery, otherwise he would have to go back to the path outside the park.

The guard Xu Ping thought about it too, and retreated behind him.

There were several large rocks on the side of the road that would open the way for people to look out, and no one could see through them.

When Su Zhaoheng continued to move forward, Lin Haoqi and Su Zhaoyu were crying and laughing, looking at Luo Hao who was walking forward. Behind them were men carrying fishing rods and buckets.

This little grandfather of the Protector's Mansion really wants to come out of it.

When the fish are the fattest, they have to go to the lake to fish.

And the one in Luo Hao's heart at this time is called Mei, he always stays in the yard, how can he find out about the situation of the Lin family's chick, and how to implement his plan?

Lin Haoqi and his entourage also walked to the garden from the path behind the rockery, and before they got close, they heard the laughter of the girl's silver bell.

Luo Hao's eyes lit up suddenly, is this a no-brainer?!
