Thank you Rong Rong for the reward of children's shoes, Tiger Touch all the friends who support me, thank you!

*********************************************

Fu Jun suddenly realized, no wonder Fu Yao was not interested, it turned out that only the children of the descendants could participate in this chrysanthemum banquet, and Fu Yao and Fu Jun were not qualified.

If you don't go, you won't go, and Fu Jun doesn't care much. In her previous life, she had read a few house fighting novels, and it was really a good feast, and anyone who went out to eat and enjoy flowers or something, there must be a moth. Considering her house fighting skills, Fu Jun thinks it is safer for her to stay at home.

In the early morning of the next day, Fu Jun went to Rongxuan Hall with the Wang family to ask for peace according to the custom, and when he was still at the bottom of the stairs, he heard bursts of laughter from the house, and the atmosphere was a long-lost joy, and even Mrs. Hou could be heard saying happily: "Just bring this basin of 'ten-zhang curtains' over, I will look at it very well." ”

Fu Jun knew that this "ten-zhang curtain" was the name of the chrysanthemum, which was collected by Mrs. Hou, and she cherished it very much. Now that the flowers have budded, it seems that Mrs. Hou is going to move the flowers to the banquet.

Fu Jun thought about it while following behind the Wang family to greet Mrs. Hou, and Mrs. Hou said a faint "Okay, go sit down." Then Wang sat down in the armchair next to him.

I saw Cui Shi smile and said to Mrs. Hou: "The old lady has to be energetic this time, and she must not fall into the prestige of my Hou Mansion." ”

Mrs. Hou smiled and said: "It's nonsense again, it's just a meal, and you say it's like going into battle to kill the enemy." ”

Cui Shi immediately raised his eyebrows and said: "That's not accurate, this hundred chrysanthemums must be evaluated, is it just a matter of fighting?" ”

When Mrs. Hou heard this, she smiled even more happily. Wang is usually silent on such occasions and only smiles. Fu Jun was a little puzzled, in this case, the Zhang family would usually follow the fun, but she came a little late today, she hadn't arrived yet, and she didn't know if something had happened.

Fu Jun thought about it here, and heard a little girl report over there: "The eldest wife, the eldest girl, and the second girl are here." Before the words fell, he saw the door curtain lightly raised, and Zhang took Fu Jia and Fu Zhen into the house.

Fu Jun hadn't seen Fu Jia for nearly ten days, and he saw him at this moment, but he saw Fu Jia wearing a soft blue embroidered primrose pattern Tianjing gauze placket jacket, and under it was a snow lake-colored water ripple soft Luo wide skirt, with only two beaded flowers on her hair, and she was dressed plain and elegant.

Although Fu Jia has been sick during this time, her complexion is very ruddy, and she has grown taller, and she already looks like a little Shuyuan. Presumably, even if she is really sick, she will be well recovered these days.

Mrs. Hou had stopped laughing at this time, stared at the Zhang family twice, and then nodded and smiled: "It's good to come, I have something to discuss with you." This was said to Zhang, and Fu Jia did not mention a word.

Mrs. Hou's attitude is so cold, if it were the past, Fu Jia would definitely have to make a grievance to show others. But now she has no different color, and even has a decent smile on her cheeks, greeting her with Zhang's salute, and then standing behind Zhang's, worthy of the words "dignified manners".

Fu Jun didn't think that Fu Jia had changed his mind. What kind of character she is, Fu Jun knows it very well. As long as you look closely, you can find that the corners of Fu Jia's eyes will squint slightly when she sweeps over, and when she raises her eyes to look at herself, there will be a very faint downward movement at the corners of her mouth, which all indicate that this second sister was originally and is still virtuous. The so-called politeness is just better at disguise than before.

After Zhang sat down, he asked Mrs. Hou with a smile, "I wonder what the old lady has to discuss with her daughter-in-law?" ”

Mrs. Hou said with a smile: "On the twenty-eighth day, the Fuyuan Marquis Mansion appreciated the chrysanthemum banquet." The post has been handed over, and it just so happens that you are all here, so let's discuss it together. ”

Zhang smiled and sighed: "This day flies really fast, and in the blink of an eye, it is another year to enjoy the chrysanthemum banquet." ”

Cui Shi said, "Who says it's not." Just now, I was discussing with the old lady that I wanted to bring the pot of 'ten-zhang hanging curtain' to the banquet. ”

When Zhang heard this, the smile on his face paused, and he paused for a moment before he said softly: "That flower is about to bud, and it will bloom when the time comes, and it is also the right time." However, how could I vaguely hear people say that Xie Ge's old house also has a pot of 'ten-zhang hanging curtains'. It is said that the flower rises extremely high, and the flower blooms like a waterfall hanging upside down, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”

When Mrs. Hou heard this, her face became solemn.

This Xie Ge Lao is a veteran of the dynasty, a scholar of the official residence and the Ministry of Rites, and a second assistant to the cabinet, but his reputation in Shilin is greater than that of Zhang Jin, the first assistant of the cabinet.

Speaking of the origin of this Xie Ge Lao, it is from the Xie family, one of the four major families. Only this Xie Ge Lao is a side branch, and he is not valued in the clan, and because his parents died early, he was often bullied by some people in the clan when he was young, and he suffered a lot. When he was a little older, he simply went to Shandong alone, and with his bright mind and tenacious heart, he was admitted to Yuelu Academy, and then advanced to the official career with two rankings of jinshi, all the way to the present.

Because of the ups and downs experienced when he was a child, the relationship between Xie Ge Lao and the Xie family was extremely poor, and the Xie family tried to reconcile with him several times, but Xie Ge Lao refused. It was precisely because of this that the first emperor elected him into the cabinet and entrusted him with important tasks.

Xie Ge is old and famous, and he is upright and stern. The eldest son, Xie Ying, is a detached, open-minded and hearty character, who was rich and famous when he was young, and entered the Hanlin Academy at a young age.

In addition, Xie Gelao's eldest daughter, Xie Ming, was elected to the palace soon after she ascended the throne, and was promoted to contour because of her good appearance and gentle posture, and was very favored by Jinshang. It's a pity that the sky is jealous and red-faced, Xie Ying died of illness not long after entering the palace, and now he regrets it, and he is even more tolerant to Xie Ge's old father and son, and often recruits them into the palace to talk.

Therefore, this Xie family is truly both clean and expensive. If the Pingnanhou Mansion and the Xie family come up with the same variety of flowers at the chrysanthemum feast, I am afraid that it will not look good.

Seeing that Mrs. Hou was silent in thought, Zhang glanced at Fu Jia, and then said slowly: "There is a pot of 'Golden Medal Purple Ribbon' in our courtyard, which is barely passable, if the old lady does not dislike it, I will ask someone to bring it over, and you can appreciate it." ”

The only famous flower species that Mrs. Hou can take out at the moment is the pot of "ten-zhang hanging curtain", and the rest are more ordinary. Now when I heard that Zhang could take out the "Golden Medal Purple Ribbon", a trace of joy welled up between his eyebrows and eyes, and he said, "That's good, let's take a look at it first." He also told Zhang: "Be careful, don't fall and knock." ”

Zhang smiled and nodded, and then instructed Liu's mother to personally bring a few safe servants and go to the Hengxian Pavilion to carry the flowers.

After a while, the servants carefully held the flower pot to the bright room, Fu Jun raised his eyes to look, but saw that in the huge flower pot, the "golden medal purple ribbon" half bloomed a flower, although it has not been fully bloomed, but it is already very rich, you can imagine the beauty of its heyday. Compared with the elegance of the "ten-zhang hanging curtain", this flower has a more dignified and wealthy atmosphere, which is very consistent with the identity of the Hou Mansion.

When Mrs. Hou saw it, she was the first to smile and stroked her palms: "This is very good." Then he exclaimed, "There is only one flower in the whole plant, and if this flower blooms, it will be big and beautiful." ”

Cui Shi also smiled and said nothing.

In fact, she also asked people to find some famous flower seeds, but their Cui family only re-raised orchids, but it was on this chrysanthemum, so there were only some chrysanthemums such as "cutting gold balls" and "jade hibiscus" in her courtyard, although they were also considered famous species, but after all, they were not surprising, and they were not as good as "gold medals and purple ribbons".

At this time, seeing that Mrs. Hou was happy, she swept her eyes to Zhang's place, and then stepped forward and smiled: "This flower is really magnificent, and I look at it very well." After that, he turned to Zhang and said: "The eldest sister-in-law can really hide it, I knew that there was a 'golden medal and purple ribbon', so I didn't ask anyone to look for the 'ten-zhang curtain'." ”

The "ten-zhang hanging curtain" was also easily found by Cui's for Mrs. Hou, and won a lot of praise from Mrs. Hou. Now that the Zhang family has come up with a better one, the Cui family inevitably has some ideas in his heart.

Zhang's didn't care about Cui's words, and said with a smile: "This is also a coincidence." The second brother and sister didn't know, this flower was declining some time ago, and I didn't have any energy, so I didn't take it out. I didn't think that the rain was diligent these days, and it fell into flower buds, which was also an unexpected joy. If you want me to say, this is still an old lady is blessed. ”

Mrs. Hou kept listening to her two words with a smile, and then said, "This is also the heart of the eldest daughter-in-law." But I know that this flower is not easy to take care of. ”

Zhang Shi lifted the veil, covered his lips and smiled: "The old lady is too awarded, but the daughter-in-law doesn't dare to take credit for this matter." I didn't keep this flower, but Jia'er took care of it herself. ”

"Oh? It's actually taken care of by the second girl? Mrs. Hou glanced at Fu Jia in some surprise.

The corner of Fu Zhen's left mouth twitched at the right time, Fu Jun could see it clearly, and then looked at Fu Jia, but saw that she hung her head slightly, with a reserved smile on her face, and did not speak. Cui Shi smiled and said, "Ouch, this is amazing, our second girl is really capable." ”

Zhang Shi hurriedly said: "Where is it, Jia'er is just helping to take care of it, and there are other people who serve this flower." It's just that Jia'er asks about it every day, but I don't understand anything about it. ”

Zhang's words are true, and they are indeed the truth. How could a Miss Hou Fu plant flowers with her own hands? It's just that I usually ask a few more words, and I often ask someone to take care of it. But even so, Fu Jia can be regarded as very caring.

Mrs. Hou looked at Fu Jia and said in a harmonious voice: "The second girl is really sensible, and my grandmother is very happy." ”

Fu Jia raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Hou, lowered her head again, still didn't say a word, only her eyes were a little red.

Mrs. Hou called Su Yun: "Go and bring the luodian box on the shelf in the room." ”

Su Yun took the order and left, and soon came out with the box, and Mrs. Hou opened the box and took out a gilded skein ring hairpin from it. As soon as this hairpin was taken out, Fu Jia's eyes that had been hanging down were crossed with a touch of joy.

The hairpin itself is not surprising, but the hairpin head ring is carved into a delicate chrysanthemum pattern, and the top is inlaid with beads the size of the little finger, which are round and the same size, which is very rare. Mrs. Hou said to Fu Jia: "This hairpin is worn at the chrysanthemum banquet." ”

The pearls on the hairpin were slightly faint in the indoor light, extremely gorgeous, and Fu Zhen and Fu Yao looked at them with envy in their eyes. Only Fu Jun was expressionless. She didn't want a row of chrysanthemums on her head. No matter how beautiful this hairpin is, please forgive her for accepting her incompetence.
