Chapter Forty-Seven: This, the First Meeting

The specially opened garden in the courtyard of Qiao's family, although all the flowers have not bloomed at the moment, but there are still a lot of buds to be put one after another, and it is estimated that it will only take a while to wait for a while, when all the flowers in the yard bloom, it will be so spectacular and beautiful.

After walking around the garden for a while, Shen Zhuru asked the two grandmothers to lead her to meet Mrs. Qiao and Miss Qiao Yuelong.

As for how many of the six ladies of the Li Qiao family can reach today, this is not something that Shen Zhuru can guess.

"Madam, the young lady of the Mu family has now arrived in the garden, and I guess it will be there in a while."

The eldest lady of the Qiao family raised her eyes slightly.

"Call the third lady over, and the fifth lady and the sixth lady also notified them, and said that the guests had arrived, and asked them if they wanted to come and see them?"

"No."

Not long after the maids retreated, Shen Zhuru, accompanied by Yu Xu and the two grandmothers, went to the Baixiang Pavilion in Qiao's courtyard with the maids.

This Baixiang Pavilion is located in a garden adjacent to the Hundred Gardens for Flower Appreciation, and the entrance is directly opposite the lotus pond of the Hundred Gardens.

The third floor of the Baixiang Pavilion is a spacious balcony, mainly for enjoying the scenery, with a lot of tables and chairs, and the second floor is also the same function, only one belongs to the interior, one belongs to the semi-outdoor, one has a compartment, divided into three large rooms, and the other is a fully open public place.

Usually the third floor is a popular gathering place for young people, but the second floor is a place where ladies are happy to stay.

In the Baixiang Pavilion, there are actually two attics, one large and one small.

The big one is similar to the main venue, facing the hundred gardens, both the scenery and the geographical location are quite good, also known as the Kui Tower, faintly hinting that the people who compete here will compete for a high and low, and win the first place.

As for the small one located in the inside of the Kui Lou, although it is not as big as the Kui Lou, but the pattern is the same, only slightly smaller, but it is more exquisite, it is generally the place where women like to gather the most, the rouge smell is stronger, also known as the Xiang Lou, just the name can hear the femininity.

The place where the eldest lady of the Qiao family made an appointment was in this fragrant building, as for the Kui Building, perhaps because it was to welcome the flower viewing party on the 20th, it was being taken care of at the moment, and it was inconvenient to receive guests for the time being.

A faint smell of lacquer wafted over, obviously repainted, and it was time to disperse the smell at the moment.

When she first saw the eldest lady of the Qiao family, Shen Zhuru felt that this eldest lady Qiao had a very high status in the Qiao family, and no one who had been in a high position for a long time would exude this natural momentum, a momentum that had been in charge for a long time, and she was calm and unhurried.

There are also two young ladies sitting on the second place, one fat and one thin, one with a goose egg face and one with a melon seed face, very well maintained, from the time the two of them arrived in Shen Zhuru, they have invested in her undisguised curiosity, about twenty-three or four, about twenty-three or four, needless to say, it must be the fifth lady of the Qiao family, Qiao An, and the sixth lady, Qiao Jiang.

I heard my mother-in-law Mu Liu Xinyue mention that the backgrounds of these two ladies are slightly similar.

Qiao An's father is a general who belongs to the local government soldiers, from the five-rank officials, who govern the soldiers and horses of the land of the government, although this is not worth mentioning from the five-grade officials in the capital, but in terms of the outside, it is not too low an official position.

Qiao Jiang's elder brother is a commander, stationed in the border, although his identity is not as good as Qiao An's family background, but because Qiao Jiang's brother Jiang Panpo is appreciated by his boss, coupled with his young age, his future achievements may not be low, plus the sixth young master of the Qiao family is free to love and marry, and his mind is relatively simple, that is, he is easy to be curious about novel things, and the status of the Qiao family is not too low, she is already the mother of two children, but she is still childish, and she is quite popular with the eldest lady.

Counting the relationship between Qiao An's family, Qiao Jiang's family and the eldest lady Qiao Pan's family, it is the closest to the entire Qiao family, if it weren't for this, these two ladies would not be the only ones who came over together in today's meeting.

"The new daughter-in-law of the Mu family, Mu Shen's Zhuru, has given a gift to the three ladies." Shen Zhuru smiled and blessed her body.

"Mrs. Mu Shao is polite, please take a seat." Mrs. Qiao nodded and motioned for Shen Zhuru to sit down.

"Thank you, lady." After Shen Zhuru sat down, she then spoke: "Big lady, my mother-in-law learned that I came to the appointment of the big lady today, and specially pointed out and helped choose a few gifts for the six ladies, as well as Miss Yuelong, and several young ladies in the house. Shen Zhuru's voice fell, and the maids immediately held the box they were holding in front of Shen Zhuru and opened it.

"The eldest lady has a soft spot for epiphany, and this natural jade carved from a little jade epiphany, I hope the eldest lady can like it."

The maid opened the box, and a palm-sized epiphany carving was revealed in front of everyone, but it was an epiphany rendered with a wisp of smoky green, which was eye-catching, and the more you looked at it, the more flavorful it became.

"I have a heart."

"Five Ladies ......"

"The ...... of the Sixth Lady"

After presenting the Goshangzhai rouge for Qiao An's and the red agate bracelet for Qiao Jiang's one by one, the two ladies were very satisfied with the gift and could be regarded as their favorites.

After giving the gifts to these two ladies, Shen Zhuru officially set her eyes on Qiao Yuelong, the third young lady.

Qiao Yuelong's appearance followed Uncle Qiao, only a pair of eyes followed Mrs. Qiao, it was a standard Ruifeng eye, the eyes were slender, the pupils were relatively close to the corners of the eyes, about one-third of the upper pupils were covered by the upper eyelids, the tails of the eyes were elegantly slightly upturned, a little smiling, and the eyes flowed.

Qiao Yuelong's appearance is not outstanding, and her facial features are not the most outstanding when viewed separately, but when combined, they are quite suitable.

Maybe this Qiao Yuelong followed Mrs. Qiao's temperament, and she looks young, but she is quite stable.

Thinking about the past five years in her grandmother's house, she has had a lot of training benefits for Qiao Yuelong's temperament and dealing with people, compared with Jiang Ruoyu's girl, it is very different, and there is no comparison.

I feel that this Qiao Yuelong has more demeanor, but Jiang Ruoyu seems to be a little family, even if she looks better than Qiao Yuelong, and her age is similar.

"Miss Yuelong, I heard my mother-in-law say that you haven't been back to Qiyang County for five years, and you were only allowed to go home to visit your parents this year, and my mother-in-law kept saying before she came, I don't know that Miss Yuelong hasn't seen her for five years, I'm afraid that she has changed eighteen, let me take a good look at Miss Yuelong, go back and tell her, so as to make up for her regret that it is inconvenient to come." In addition, this gift was also asked by my mother-in-law to send me, what is it, saying that I will open it to you and the eldest lady when I get here, and I will understand. ”

After Shen Zhuru finished speaking, not only Qiao Yuelong, the third lady, was curious, but even Mrs. Qiao showed a hint of surprise, and her eyes fell on Shen Zhuru's body, wanting to see what kind of gift it was, but she didn't let her see it in advance, so it would be displayed in public.
