Several juniors of the Chen family, Chen Houwen and Chen Houqi, including Chen Yujie, all expressed reluctance to the departure of Shen Rouning's two siblings, only Chen Houji, this guy, couldn't meet for a few days, and when they met, they couldn't say a word, so they left in a hurry.

Obviously perfunctory to her.

And there are secrets. It seems that it is still a secret related to her. So every time he saw her, although it was perfunctory, there was such obvious smugness in his smile that people couldn't even notice it.

Shen Rou narrowed her eyes and laughed.

I guess, what kind of surprise is her cousin preparing for their family?

In that case, she will soon find out, and she is not in a hurry.

"Cousin Ji." Shen Rouning deliberately stopped him in the garden, and didn't care about the obvious awkward and nervous expression in his eyes, and asked with a smile, "Do you know that Yulan will?" ”

The tension on Chen Houji's face was obviously relaxed, and he led Shen Rouning to find a pavilion to sit down, and said with a relaxed smile: "You said that the magnolia in the Magnolia Garden will be?" Of course I know that. Speaking of which, this year's Magnolia Club is only a few days away, and if Sister Ning leaves a few days later, she will be able to go in and have a look. How, do you want to go? If you want to go to Cousin Ning, I'll tell my mother to go and ask Mingjia for a post for you. ”

He said it very casually, and obviously didn't take the post of the Magnolia Club very seriously.

Shen Rouning shook her head and said, "Thank you, Cousin Ji, I will leave Beijing with my father, mother, and Brother Rong, and I don't want to participate in any flower viewing parties." ”

"Well, if you don't participate, you won't participate, it's actually very boring." Chen Houji comforted Shen Rouning and said: "Everyone sits together and compares poems and paintings, which is false and fake, and there is nothing to see. It's just that the magnolia in the magnolia garden is really good. There are many valuable old trees, and the flowers are blooming very well. ”

The magnolia flowers are big, and the flowers of a tree are already extremely beautiful, not to mention hundreds of flowers and trees together. That kind of spectacle must be beautiful.

Shen Rouning nodded slightly.

Seeing that she was interested, Chen Houji smiled more cheerfully, and said, "When I met Mingjia yesterday. I heard her say that the flowers in the garden have already bloomed a little. It's well worth a look. My cousin can't go to the Magnolia Club, so it's better to go and see the flowers in advance, and the garden is also very quiet at this time. There are no such people as a mess. ”

"Cousin Ji, you actually said that those sons and nobles who went to the Magnolia Club were messy people." Shen Rou Ning joked, agreed, and said, "Then Ning Er is waiting for her cousin to make arrangements." ”

"No problem, wrap it up on me." Chen Houji smiled heartily.

Early the next morning. Shen Rouning had just freshened up, and saw a maid in Chen Houji's courtyard coming over to accompany Yuexuan. Tell Shen Rouning that the carriage and horses have been prepared, and the elders have also informed them that there is no need to spend any more time to say hello, after breakfast for a while. Just go to Magnolia Garden.

Even Chen Yujie made an appointment.

It's really fast.

Shen Rouning came down, and quickly cleaned up after eating, and it was time to make an appointment. I walked out of Banyuexuan to the front yard. In the front yard, Shen Rouning met Mrs. Chen, who was arranging a carriage. I gossiped a lot with her.

"Everyone talks about the Magnolia Club, but they ignore the most beautiful magnolia flowers in it...... But Ning'er, if you missed those flowers, it's a pity. Mrs. Chen smiled and looked at Chen Houji, who was leading the horse, and said angrily: "Your cousin Ji finally did the right thing this time." ”

Chen Houji pretended to be unhappy when he heard this, and said to Mrs. Chen: "Mother, how can you say that about your son!" Am I not your own son! ”

"Listen to what you say!" Mrs. Chen glanced at Chen Houji, and when she saw Chen Houwen and Chen Houqi arriving with Shen Duanrong, she didn't talk about Chen Houji anymore, and began to instruct: "In the past few days, the Magnolia Garden should be preparing for the flower viewing party, and you are familiar with the county lord, you can go and play for a while, and don't delay her work too much." Also, take care of your younger siblings. ”

"Mother, don't worry." Chen Houji patted his chest and reassured.

Chen Houji and Chen Houwen rode horses, and the other children took two carriages with simple appearances, turned a corner and picked up Chen Yujie, and it didn't take long to arrive at Magnolia Garden.

Magnolia Garden is in the inner city, next to the imperial city.

Except for the magnolia tree, there is no good scenery inside. But magnolia alone is enough.

As soon as the carriage approached, Shen Rouning smelled the fragrant aroma in the air. The car drove into the garden through a remote side gate and stopped.

As far as you can see, the fist-sized buds of a tree are hanging all over the branches, and each one is as if carved from beautiful jade, which is so perfect that people can't help but breathe.

The garden was very quiet, and only a servant guided them to park their carriages and horses, and this little movement was also pressed very low in the great garden, surrounded by these beautiful flowers and trees, and it was impossible to stir the quiet beauty of the garden.

"It's beautiful."

Chen Yujie led Shen Rouning to lead her way, Chen Houwen and Chen Houqi led Shen Duanrong, they were all infected by this quiet beauty, walking under a tree Qiongyao, they couldn't help but be silent, and occasionally sighed.

Shen Rouning noticed that Chen Houji had left the team, seeing that he was picked up by a servant, and guessing that he might have gone to find the lord of Mingjia, so she didn't think much about it anymore and enjoyed the flowers again.

She didn't know that Chen Houji was not seeing the county lord of Mingjia, but Qin Xu.

The two men met in a small water pavilion.

"Qin Qi, how did you coax Ming Jia? When I saw her yesterday afternoon, she was very angry. Chen Houji asked Qin Xudao.

They don't know how many times they have come to this magnolia garden every year. Now in spring, although the flowers are blooming beautifully, but after the flowers bloom this year alone, the two of them have come no less than three times. No matter how good and beautiful the flowers are, if you see too much, they will become ordinary.

What's more, they still have something to do now.

Qin Xu listened to Chen Houji's question, and squinted his eyes, making his peach blossom eyes appear more and more slender and narrow, and people laughed and groaned, but the words he said made people annoyed: "If you Chen Erxia can handle it, then wouldn't my Qin fox be worthless?" ”

"What the hell did you tell her?" Chen Houji asked.

He had already learned not to get angry with the person in front of him.

Qin Xumei's eyes wandered, glanced at Chen Houji, and said, "I told her about the deeds of the ghost-faced general." ”

"Ghost-faced general?" Chen Houji scratched his hair suspiciously, and said, "Why does it sound familiar?" Who is this? When did the people? ”

"The people of our grandfather's time." Qin Xu didn't continue to sell Guanzi, took a sip of tea, looked at the faintly visible figure among the flowers and trees on the opposite bank, and said: "Duke Deng's original wife, the aunt of Duke Deng of Mingyi, and your cousin's grandmother who has been Xiao Deng for many years." An unknown but gifted female general. (To be continued) (.)
