On the day of the meeting, just after the fifth watch, everyone got up one after another. After breakfast, tidy up, and get ready to go.

Fang's family was finally relieved that Zhou Xi was not relieved, and sent Zhang's mother to accompany him.

It is enough for the older housekeeper to have one, but it is inconvenient to have more. Jiang's mother proposed to stay at home to make tiger skin mattresses, so that Jian Ying could use them when she came back, and she didn't go out with her this time.

Jian Ying pondered it, left Jinping and Yunzheng to look at the courtyard, and brought the other four big girls along with Yuan Fang. There are rough subordinates in the plum garden on the left and right, and the little girl is saved, and only a few strong mothers-in-law are selected.

Zhou Qin brought licorice, Poria and two mothers-in-law, and Zhou Xi was simpler, only bringing Huaijin and Xianghuan, two big girls.

The group took a sedan chair out of the palace and went to the door to change to a carriage.

Jian Ying got off the sedan chair and saw Zhou Shu wearing a satin cloak with black trim at a glance, standing there with a relaxed expression.

Long Jing led a tall horse with a red color and stood behind him with a blank face.

This is clearly a posture to go to!

"Husband is going too?" She asked in surprise, why didn't she show any tone before?

"yes." Zhou Shu looked very satisfied with her reaction, and nodded with the corners of his lips.

Jian Ying rolled her eyes under her hood, and muttered: "People get together on a blind date when they are young and young, where are you a married old man going to join in?" ”

"Lady, I'm not old yet." Zhou Shu heard it sharply, and explained a little bluntly, "The third brother wants to go and see it, and my father can only go over tomorrow, and it is inconvenient to take him with him, so he told me to accompany him on a trip." ”

Jian Ying followed his gaze, and sure enough, she saw Zhou Yuan's little servant, the bronze pillar and the iron pillar, guarding a carriage. I think the little fat man couldn't stand the cold and got into the carriage early.

Zhou Shu paused for a moment, and added, "And I don't worry about the lady and her party going on the road alone." ”

"Ah, is it?" Jian Ying obviously didn't take what he said seriously, "Then you can act as a flower messenger." ”

After speaking, he took Xueqin's arm and stepped on the stool to get into the car.

Zhou Qin and Zhou Xi saluted Zhou Shu from afar. also got into the carriage one after another.

The mother-in-law, the girl, the little maid, and the guards put things in place, and those who got on the car got on the car, and those who got on the horse. With Zhou Shu's order, the carriage and horse drove towards the outside of the city.

When other convoys saw it, they all avoided the side of the road. Let the royal convoy go first.

After walking along the official road for less than half an hour, I entered the mountain, and walked for two quarters of an hour on the mountain road, and then arrived at Meizhuang.

As far as the eye could see, I saw a huge garden at the foot of the mountain. Red walls and green tiles, with cascading ridges. In the glow of the morning sun, you can see patches of light mist of rose or pink. Surrounded by the bare and lifeless mountains, people suddenly have the illusion of being in a paradise.

The plum garden is divided into two gardens, the east and west, the male guests are arranged to settle in the east garden, which is more rugged and open, and the female relatives are welcomed to the west garden, which is more elegant and quiet.

The people of the palace got off the carriage and horse, greeted them in front of the door, and were about to divide the troops into two ways, when they heard someone shouting, "Cousin, please stay." ”

Jian Ying heard Chu Feiyan's voice and moved slowly. But he didn't look back, and as soon as he bent down, he entered the sedan chair.

Chu Feiyan hurriedly walked a few steps to catch up, "Cousin, wait a minute......

"Young Master Chu." Zhou Shu took a step forward and blocked his way, a smile floated on the skin, but did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "Long time no see, don't come to harm?" ”

I haven't seen him for a few months, and Chu Feiyan is a little thinner than before. The face is becoming more and more angular, and the corners of the mouth and eyebrows are still dyed with loneliness and arrogance, but there is an extra vicissitudes that young people should not have.

"Second Young Master." He clenched his fist at Zhou Shu, his eyes glancing at Jian Ying's sedan chair. "I have a few words to say to my cousin, and I would like to ask the second young master to make it convenient."

After returning to Jinan Mansion, he always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Jian Ying. Sending the post to the palace was afraid that it would be too abrupt, and it happened that the prefect and his wife were preparing for the Plum Garden Poetry Meeting, and he knew that the female dependents of the palace would inevitably be there, so he endured it.

On the way to come. I heard that the convoy of the royal palace is in front. Thinking that after entering the plum garden, men and women were separated, and there might not be a chance to meet, so he left Mr. Tan and rode a horse to catch up first.

Zhou Shu saw his feet move, as if he wanted to lean over without suspicion, and immediately moved half a step sideways, blocking his sight together, his eyes were cold, "Master Chu, there is a difference between men and women, it is not good to meet rashly."

If you have anything to say, just say it to me, and I'll tell you about it. ”

Jian Ying saw that Zhou Shu could deal with Chu Feiyan, so she didn't pay much attention to it, "Let's go." ”

Xueqin answered "yes" and told the mothers-in-law to get up the sedan chair.

Chu Feiyan was a little anxious, "Hey, cousin......"

"Young Master Chu." Hearing him shout at his cousin repeatedly, Zhou Shu was full of unhappiness, and there was not much smile left on his face, "In front of the public, disturbing other people's wives is really not a gentleman's doing, please respect yourself." ”

After this delay, Jian Ying's sedan chair had already entered the door. No matter how eager Chu Feiyan was, it was not easy to catch up, so he glanced at Zhou Shu stupidly, said "farewell", and turned away.

Long Jing held his back in the corner of his eyes, lowered his voice and asked, "Second Young Master, do you want the villain to teach him a lesson?" ”

"No need." Zhou Shu said with a calm face.

In any case, they are the in-laws of the Jian family, and there is also a Mr. Tan pestle there, not to look at the monk's face, but also to look at the Buddha's face, in case of tearing the face, everyone will be embarrassed.

I was secretly glad that he came.

Judging from the situation just now, Jian Ying seemed to have really broken off her thoughts, but Chu Feiyan was not.

Although it is a bit embarrassing to regard a young man who has not dried up as an opponent, who can say for sure what is going on between men and women?

Moreover, Jian Ying's temperament is out-of-the-box, and she is in the name of a virtuous woman, but she is quite disdainful of the rules and etiquette advocated by the world. also thinks that he is a good man, he can't bear loneliness for a while, and it is not impossible to be bewitched.

is that she can keep her heart and not rekindle her old relationship with Chu Feiyan, and it is difficult to ensure that Chu Feiyan has just done something, which will ruin her reputation.

I have to guard against it!

When he took Zhou Yuan into the East Garden, Mr. Tan also came. In addition to Chu Feiyan, he also brought a few proud protégés, and Huang Zun's second brother Huang Yan was also among them.

As the so-called road is narrow, the yard where two groups of people live is adjacent.

Zhou Shu went to Mr. Tan to say hello, and when he came back, he instructed Longjing, "You don't have to worry about the side these days, just keep an eye on Chu Feiyan for me." ”

"Yes." Long Jing agreed, and did not mention it as instructed.

On the side of the West Garden, the ladies of the royal palace were arranged to live in a courtyard called "Qinqing Pavilion". Because there happened to be a word "Qin" in it, Zhou Qin liked it very much when he saw it.

Next to Qinqing Pavilion is the residence of Mrs. Fang and Miss Fang of the main family, and a courtyard to the west is the daughter of the Jian family. The others lined up in the courtyard at the back according to the official rank of the grandfathers in the family.

As soon as Jian Ying cleaned up, she heard a report that Miss Fang was coming.

Jian Ying couldn't help frowning, when she came in, she had already met Mrs. Fang and Miss Fang, who greeted her in person, at the gate of the West Garden. Fang Yiyun came here alone, definitely not to say hello.

Do you want to lure her into the gang and start a women's liberation movement?
