The Zhao family's motorcade stopped outside the side gate of the Han family, and Zhao's father took his two sons to the front yard under the guidance of the steward, Han Shizi and Han Yatang were entertaining the guests who came today in the front yard.

Zhao's mother's carriage drove all the way to the second gate, and then she and Zhao Xi took a small sedan chair to Rongxi Hall. Although today's flower-viewing banquet was held by Mrs. Shizi, the ladies who came would first go to Rongxi Hall to meet Duchess Ningguo, and then go to today's flower-viewing place - Hanlian Xiaozhu.

When Zhao Xi followed Zhao's mother into Rongxi Hall, he quickly and secretly glanced at it, and saw that several noble old ladies with their daughters-in-law and granddaughters were chatting with Duchess Ningguo, and several of the little girls even made Duchess Ningguo smile. But a few girls from the Han family are not among them, and it seems that they should have greeted guests in Hanlian Xiaozhu.

Mother Zhao entered after Yahuan's report, and smiled before speaking, with a thick smile in her voice, "I haven't seen my aunt for a while, but now I see you, I don't dare to stand next to my aunt, standing next to you, the people next to me must think that I am your sister." ”

When Duchess Ning Guo heard this, her eyes bent into a crescent moon with a smile, and she scolded with a smile: "Okay, you monkey, even your aunt has learned to make jokes." When you're at home, Xiangcheng can't stand you. ”

Mother Zhao saluted, sat down and followed the words of Duchess Ningguo: "I'm afraid that my mother-in-law will annoy me, so I'm not here to move the rescuers." With my aunt here, I don't have to worry about it. ”

The smile on Duchess Ning Guo's face deepened, and she shook her head slightly, "You are so eloquent with this mouth, it's too late to make your mother-in-law happy every day, didn't I make me laugh when I didn't see you coming." ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhao Xi, took her little hand affectionately, and showed a loving smile on his face, "Your eldest aunt is busy, and several of your cousins have already gone to help her, so you can go too." ”

As soon as these words came out, several old ladies who had been sitting silently since Zhao's mother came in glanced at each other, and they had their own guesses in their hearts: seeing that the meaning of Duchess Ningguo's words was clearly not to treat Zhao Xi as an outsider, and then thinking that Han Shizi's youngest son was about the same age as Zhao Xi, he thought that he already knew something.

Several old ladies looked at Duchess Ning Guo with envy, but they were even more determined to let their granddaughter marry into the Han family, it was a great thing to be able to be a concubine with Miss Zhao Jiayan, or to marry a talented person from the Han family.

For a while, they racked their brains to get close to the water and get the moon first, and while Zhao Xi was here, let his granddaughter have a good relationship with Zhao Xi first, so that Zhao Xi had a good impression.

Several little girls in the hall looked at the girl who stole their limelight as soon as they came in, when they were there before, the smile on the face of the Duchess of Ning Guo was incomparable to now, at least now the smile lines in the corners of the Duchess of Ning Guo's eyes are clearly visible.

The elder spoke, Zhao Xi naturally would not refuse willfully, after greeting the other old ladies, saying hello to her mother, and leaving with the swallow. The old ladies didn't even have a chance to speak.

Hanlian Xiaozhu is a very famous flower-viewing spot in the Han family, in addition to the lotus treasures planted, the layout is also a major feature that makes people admire.

There is a large living water lake in Hanlian Xiaozhu, and the name of this lake is Genti Lake. There are clearly distributed lotus groups in the lake, and there is a pavilion at each end, if you look down from the Han family's stargazing tower, you can see that the shape of the whole lake actually resembles a lotus.

The lotus group forms the petals of the lotus, the lotus leaf group and the water color in the lake are intertwined, forming the floating leaves and standing leaves of the lotus, and the two pavilions are shaped like lotus canopies, from the height of the view this is a double-petaled and the lotus, so this is also the origin of the lake.

In the summer, there are also small canopies, where you can pick lotus flowers and lotus seeds in the lake. Today's lotus feast also has several small black tents.

In the hall of Han Lian Xiaozhu, Mrs. Shizi was entertaining the female relatives who had already come over from the Duchess of Ningguo, and when she saw Zhao Xi coming, she was busy pulling her to ask her to receive the little girl of the same age with Han Yajing.

A group of eight or nine-year-old girls have reached the point where they have begun to show off their knowledge, family background, ornaments, etc., and at the same time, it may be because they have lived in a big family since they were children, and there are many people who have eyes, because Zhao Xi is the highest status in this group of people, and they are inevitably sought after by these people, but they are happy but have not cultivated to the home, Zhao Xi still sees jealousy and disgust in the looks of these people.

This made Zhao Xi feel very bored, and she stayed up until the talent show began, and she slipped out with Yanzi under the pretext

"Hey, this place is a little strange, go, Xifu, come with me and take a look." A clear voice rang out.

"Childe, if you come out like this, I'm afraid the old lady won't be able to find someone later." There was a hint of poissure in the voice of the reply.

"It's okay, now the garden is full of people coming and going, and my grandmother has also told me to come out for a walk, there will be no problem, and we will go back in a while." As the voice gradually approached, there was a hint of surprise in the voice that sounded again, "It's actually a rockery that can hide people, let's go there and rest for a while." ”

The footsteps are getting closer, and when they see the entrance of the rockery, they can't help but speed up their pace, but when they see the situation in the rockery, they hesitate for a moment, and they still walk in.

The person who came waved his hands and said politely, "The girl is polite." Xiaosheng Shen Hetai is very presumptuous to disturb the girl, can Xiaosheng rest here for a moment or two? Leave in a moment. ”

Shen Hetai was a little helpless, he had been looking for so long to find a girl who could hide from those ladies who could be met everywhere, coupled with the hot weather, their master and servant had been gone for a long time, except for this place, I am afraid there was nowhere to hide, but when he thought of those ladies, he still planned to stay cheekily.

Zhao Xi looked at the person in front of her, and saw that he was not very old, but he was already quite tall, wearing a moon-white silver thread embroidered green bamboo robe, she secretly praised: Good looks!

Among her peers, she only thinks that her eldest brother Zhao Xu and eldest cousin Han Yatang are worthy of the title of beautiful men, the eldest brother is handsome and extraordinary, he has been raised by his grandfather and Zhao's father since he was a child, and he has cultivated a calm energy and the nobility of the son of the family on his body is like a fairy-like character.

And Zhao Xi feels that the word gentleman Ruyu is simply created for the eldest cousin Han Yatang, let Zhao Xi describe it, the eldest cousin is the bright and white Yuehua, which looks like people love to chase, but inside it is a cold frost that rejects people thousands of miles away.

As for her second brother, although his appearance is also extremely handsome, when he thinks of his lawless temperament, let Zhao Xi evaluate it, he is really blind to that good looks, don't mention it.

But the young man in front of her made her even more appreciative, standing like a pine, with a straight and straight posture, and a temperament of "I don't move, I don't care if you face the wind and snow", just like a strong pine growing on the edge of the cliff, no matter the wind and rain, I can't bow my head for half a minute.

This temperament is what Zhao Xi appreciates the most, she seems to have seen many comrades-in-arms who share the battle robe with her, and in an instant, Zhao Xi recalled her comrades-in-arms in her previous life.

But she was only distracted for a moment, and soon returned to reality, and for this reason, she agreed to Shen Hetai's request, "Yes, Childe, please." After speaking, ignore Shen Hetai.

Shen and Tai were stunned for a moment, reacted, and thanked again, "Thank you, girl." ”

After that, he took the little servant Xifu to sit down on the stone chair in the rockery, Xifu respectfully saluted Zhao Xi, and stood behind Shen Hetai with his hands solemn.

Yanzi has been waiting behind Zhao Xi at any time, and after Shen Hetai came in, he just saluted silently, and once again put his mind on his own girl.

As soon as Shen Hetai sat down, he smelled a floral fragrance, which was as elegant as jasmine, as sweet as a rose, and as fresh as bergamot, which made people feel intoxicated when they smelled it.

Shen Hetai looked at Zhao Xi and found that she was holding a small and cute teacup and taking a sip of the tea inside, and the hot air wafting out of the tea had the aroma he had just smelled.

Zhao Xi found that Shen Hetai's gaze fell on the cup in his hand, and he turned his head and commanded, "Pour a glass of water for Shen Gongzi, it's a faux pas on my part as a host, who forgot to entertain guests." ”

In fact, this is just a polite remark, it is just Shen Hetai's face, to say that he came first and then came, he himself first broke into the place where others had already rested, which was already very rude, but fortunately, the girl didn't mind and agreed to his request. Then he found that when he stared at the tea, he thought that he had been gone for so long and was too thirsty to speak, so he again invited him to taste tea on the grounds that he had forgotten to entertain the guests and was rude.

Zhao Xi and Shen Hetai both knew this very well in their hearts.

Shen Hetai's face flushed slightly, took the teacup handed over by Yanzi, thanked him, tasted it, tasted it again, and confirmed in his heart that one of the flowers he smelled was emanating from the tea he was drinking, but the others were not.

He raised his head and looked at the little girl in front of him with his spare eyes, the two of them sat at both ends of the stone table, but the environment in the rockery was quiet, there was a breeze coming slowly, and the five senses were magnified several times for a while, and this fragrance was clearly from this little girl.

Then he found that the maid moved quickly and skillfully from the big food box on the side and kept bringing out small plates, neatly placing them on the stone table, and then arranged the jade and jade bowls for the little girl, and then returned to the original place.

To his astonishment, the little girl was graceful but destroying the delicacies at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although there were only three portions on each small plate, there were more than a dozen small plates that the maidservant had laid out. With such a large amount, he had never seen a female family member eat so much when he was at home.

"Gollum"

A belly sound came, and the swallow looked up in the direction of Fu, and then continued to look back with a non-dissimilar face.

Laifu flushed his face.

Shen Hetai was also a little embarrassed, because he was also a little hungry.

Looking at a person eating food with relish, there is a clear look of satisfaction and joy on his face, and that expression is the greatest affirmation of the chef. Moreover, Shen Hetai was born rich and noble, and his eyesight was very good, and he could see that these delicacies were made by a chef with extraordinary cooking skills, with all the color, flavor, and food, coupled with the little girl's food, his stomach moved unconsciously, and his appetite increased greatly.

"Can I taste it?" Shen Hetai said with some embarrassment, anyway, this kind of thing has been done for the first time, and it is not bad for the second time.

Zhao Xi was eating happily, and suddenly heard this, raised his head, and asked in a little surprise, "You don't mind?" ”

The people of the family are very particular, some people are eating at home are what the master wants, and the servants will clip anything, but she has hated this way of eating since she was a child, from being able to use spoons and chopsticks by herself, eating is all hands-on, what you like to eat, plus her natural power, there is a lot of food to be replenished every day, so the family has changed with her way of eating.

Because these foods were prepared for her alone, she used her own chopsticks when she ate just now, and if Shen and Tai didn't mind, she didn't care.

Seeing that Shen Hetai shook his head, Zhao Xi motioned to Yanzi to prepare a tableware for him as well, and Shen Hetai ate it unceremoniously.

If the big rockery is the faint sound of the bowl and chopsticks touching.

The three-layer food box was empty, Shen Hetai found that he was full, and saw Zhao Xi drinking a bowl of mung bean soup to quench his thirst, stood up, folded his hands, and thanked: "Thank you for the girl's hospitality, Shen is inconvenient to disturb the girl now, so I will leave." ”

Zhao Xi smiled and said, "Childe doesn't need to be polite, just treat me to a meal next time I have the opportunity." Childe, please. ”

Shen Hetai also nodded and responded: "Definitely, next time I have the opportunity, I will invite the girl to appreciate her face." ”

In fact, both of them knew that this was a kind word, Zhao Xi did not reveal his name until the end, Shen Hetai didn't know which lady she was, which means that Zhao Xi never thought of intersecting with Shen Hetai again.

Shen Hetai also knows this. But with such a girl with such appearance and temperament, coupled with that strange fragrance, if Shen Hetai wants to check, he still has a chance to find out, but the girl's family has already expressed his position, and he will not do much to himself.

Shen Hetai left with Xifu, Zhao Xi continued to enjoy the cool in the rockery, and turned his head and left this person behind.

It was the first time she had seen him.

Her impression of him was: military temperament, handsome, extraordinary, and informal.

His impression of her was: she was a big eater, bold, kind-hearted, and very beautiful.
