Had a good night's sleep, except for the sticky sweat when she woke up, Chu Weilin rested well.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the Gao family sent a post again, and the two parties determined the time for Chu Weilin to arrive at the Gao Mansion in case they could be fully prepared.

The flower melon banquet only started in the afternoon, Chu Weilin had lunch in the mansion, and then went out in a carriage, in order to facilitate her access, the carriage was modified so that she could comfortably half-lean.

Chu Weilin herself also knew the severity, and the entourage of Li De'an's family and Deng Ping's family also took Liuyu and Huanyi to Gaofu together.

In the alley where Gaofu was located, the carriages were one after another, Chu Weilin was not in a hurry, so he waited in turn, and the subordinates of Gaofu confirmed the identity of the person who came, and asked the carriage to go to the backyard from the side door.

Gao ** was waiting for her on the second door, and when she saw Chu Weilin arrive, she greeted her with a smile: "Madame looks so good today." ”

"Little Ancestor has been much more peaceful these days, and I am also relieved." Chu Weilin smiled, and the wives and grandmothers who arrived at the second gate one after another greeted Chu Weilin, and she smiled back.

Gao ** didn't dare to let her walk more, so she asked Chu Weilin to get on the soft sedan chair, carried her all the way to the water pavilion, and asked her to sit down.

This water pavilion, Chu Weilin came to it before, built by the water, ventilated on all sides, sitting on the second floor in summer, as long as the window is open, there is no need to put an ice basin, it is very cool.

Most of the guests who came to the door were on the first floor, or in other flower halls, and the second floor was quieter and not crowded, which was specially prepared for Chu Weilin.

Chu Weilin said a few polite words, and she would not resign the kindness of the host's family. Seeing that there were still some tables and chairs on the second floor, he asked Gao ** Milk: "Which other sisters are coming?" ”

Gao ** said: "They are all the chief judges today, the old lady of my family, the two ladies of the same acquaintance, as well as the eldest lady of the Fan family and the old lady of the Tao family." ”

Du Yang and Li Zhou, Chu Weilin can talk to them together, the old lady of the Gao family is a figure who is left and right, Mrs. Fan is more arrogant, Chu Weilin and her nodding friendship last time, as for the old lady of the Tao family, Chu Weilin has never seen it.

I thought about it for a week. Sit on the second floor with these people. I don't dare to say that it must be very pleasant, but I shouldn't be disgusted with each other, after all, there is an old lady Gao who can maneuver around.

One after another, they chatted with each other. Chu Weilin paid attention to the girls in the garden.

Du Yang and Chu Weilin introduced: "There are many unmarried girls in the city. It is impossible to come to Fuchu one by one. Most of them carved flowers and melons and sent them to the house, and the Gao family worked carefully and registered their names and surnames. Bring the melon again. And the girls like the girls who came to the house at the bottom could set up a table by the lake and carve melons in front of everyone. ”

Chu Weilin listened, bowed her head, and looked at the position pointed by Du Yang, sure enough, a few tables had been set up, and all kinds of melons and fruits had been prepared, as long as the girls needed it, they could do it.

Compared with these girls who can carve melons on the spot, those girls who can only send finished products into the house will definitely suffer some losses, but Chu Weilin knows in her heart that it is rare to have the opportunity to let everyone who is willing to participate join in.

There are many young girls in the house, and the sound of laughter comes from below from time to time.

Old Mrs. Gao took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "With such a spirit, the old body is really envious, and I can't wait to be decades younger and play with them." ”

Mrs. Tao laughed and said, "The old sister was also a well-known good hand at carving flower melons back then, why don't you move the knife today and open the eyes of the little girls below?" ”

"Hey! That was back then, and now, I'm afraid of hurting my hand when I pick up a knife, I'm really old. Old lady Gao waved her hand again and again.

The atmosphere was a lot more relaxed all of a sudden, the two old ladies cared about Chu Weilin's belly, and brought the topic to the topic of raising children.

The maids added tea, and the wives who had arrived at the house came up to greet them, and a few of them were accompanied by thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls, who were either shy or bold in showing their faces in front of everyone.

Another wife brought the girl here, Chu Weilin recognized her, her husband's surname was He, and she had two girls by her side.

As soon as the three of them appeared, Chu Weilin felt that her eyes lit up, Mrs. He Er looked average, and the two girls she gave birth to were outstanding, and the small and gentle women in Jiangnan made people like them very much.

Chu Weilin smiled and praised twice.

Mrs. He's second wife was overjoyed and said, "Madam, let me say a few words cheekily, my family's third mother and fifth mother are well-known in Jinzhou City. Not only that, but also skillful, a while to carve melons at the water's edge, it is really vivid. ”

Chu Weilin's gaze turned around on the two girls, Sanniang was shy, Wuniang was proud, and their reactions were very different.

Since the mother praised her like this, Chu Weilin would not refute it, and said, "Then I'll wait to see the craftsmanship of the two girls." ”

Mrs. He opened her mouth to say something good for her daughters, and she couldn't wait to throw out their benefits together.

Mrs. Fan didn't like her style, pouted, and said: "It's too late to let Mrs. Chang see the flower melon, oh, it's about to start there, don't go quickly, the melon is so good that people can't pick it up, what kind of carving do your two girls take?" ”

Mrs. He's face was hot because of Mrs. Fan's words, and she secretly scolded Mrs. Fan, but she could only smile and lead the girls downstairs.

Mrs. Fan listened to the footsteps getting farther and farther away, sneered, and said: "This is a flower melon, not a flower selection, good appearance, good craftsmanship, can you jump over the dragon gate?" Today, although many people have the intention of looking at each other, they still pay attention to a good match, like her who is so anxious, tsk......"

These words were a little ugly, no one answered for a while, and Mrs. Fan didn't care at all, and looked down by herself.

Chu Weilin also looked over, there were already a few girls carving melons, a little far away, and the knife work in her hands was not very clear, but it was lively to watch, and it was also interesting.

And those finished products sent to the melons have been sent to the water pavilion in batches.

Chu Weilin looked at them one by one. There are majestic ones, there are also small and exquisite, all kinds of different melons and fruits show different effects, and there are many interesting ones, but to say that the works that are eye-catching, they have not appeared.

The two old ladies are old and speak calmly, Mrs. Fan doesn't say the good, only picks the bad, and only the two Tongzhi ladies get together. A few words on the same page. From time to time, they also exchange views with other people.

Seeing that Chu Weilin was not particularly interested, Du Yang said with a smile: "I heard Madame mention it before, Madame's sister is a good hand at carving flower melons, and Madame has seen wonderful things." It's no wonder that these can't get into the eyes of the lady. ”

Chu Weilin smiled and shook her head. Said: "It's also my selfishness." I always think that my sister's carved melon is the best, and others can't compare, so I have such a thought. It's also eccentric. ”

After a few laughs, there was an exclamation by the lake, and everyone followed the reputation, and it was He Wuniang who stood in the crowd holding flowers and melons.

As if noticing the gaze here, He Wuniang raised her eyes and looked over, Chu Weilin looked at her, she hooked the corners of her lips and smiled, but this smile was meaningful, which made Chu Weilin a little uncomfortable.

After a while, many of the girls who showed their hands on the scene at the bottom were completed, handed over to the maids of the high mansion, and sent to the water pavilion one by one.

Chu Weilin saw it, the level was good, otherwise, she wouldn't dare to perform in front of people, and there were one or two of them that were more brilliant, and even Mrs. Tao praised a few words.

Mrs. Fan asked a maid standing not far from her, and said, "Which one is the girl of the He family carving?" ”

The maid said: "The three girls of the He family have not yet carved, and the fifth girl said that it has not yet been completed, so she has to wait a little longer." ”

Mrs. Fan bowed her head and didn't ask again.

After another quarter of an hour, Chu Weilin saw the works of the He sisters, He Sanniang carved a statue of the Weaver Girl with white radish, and looked at it carefully, only to feel that the eyebrows were exquisite, gentle and affectionate.

Mrs. Fan snorted and said, "Yo, it's quite similar, it's carved according to her own appearance, right?" ”

He Wuniang carved a painting boat, the window was open, and you could see the drinking and frolicking boatmen inside, more than a dozen figures, with different movements and demeanors, which could make it easy for people to distinguish their identities.

is as tricky as Mrs. Fan, and she can't find anything bad.

Chu Weilin also praised a few words, although she didn't have a good impression of He Wuniang, but this girl's ability was real.

The works sent after that are not as outstanding as the He sisters, Zhuyu is in front, and some of them know that their skills are not enough, so they just want to participate.

Chu Weilin, as the chief judge, naturally chose He Wuniang after discussing with several others.

Gao ** confirmed it in the water pavilion, and went down to announce the result.

There are people below who are convinced, some are jealous, some are flattering, and there are different forms, and He Wuniang is standing there with only a smug smile on her face.

Mrs. He brought two girls up to thank her, and she had to say a few words of praise to herself: "Madam, I'm not boasting about Haikou, this carving of melon craftsmanship, as long as our girl is not out of the cabinet, this Jinzhou City, is the first place every year." ”

"Oh?" Chu Weilin glanced at Second Mrs. He and replied casually, "Then I don't know, does Second Mrs. He have a favorite son-in-law candidate?" ”

Before Mrs. He Second could speak, He Sanniang's cheeks were already flying and her head was hanging low, although He Wuniang was also blushing, she did not avoid anyone's gaze.

"Madame......" Second Mrs. He was just about to speak, when she saw the maid below bringing tea up, she hurriedly took a few steps to the side to make way.

He Wuniang was still standing in place, she turned around and took the teapot from the maid's hand, took a few steps forward, added tea to Chu Weilin, and handed the teacup to Chu Weilin.

Chu Weilin took it easily.

He Wuniang's body was a little stiff, she bit her lower lip, but she still raised her head stubbornly and said, "Madame, please drink tea." ”

This sounds like no problem, but it seems to be a little weird, Chu Weilin's mind suddenly appeared Zhao Hanxin's appearance, that year Zhao Hanxin also held a tea cup to her, and invited her to eat the tea of the main mother.

Thinking of this stubble, Chu Weilin's hand shook, and the tea sent to the corner of her lips paused like this, and glanced at He Wuniang suspiciously.

He Wuniang didn't seem to expect Chu Weilin to drink, and she was stunned for a while, and when she heard Mrs. He Er call her softly, she woke up with excitement and squeezed out a smile: "Wu Niang heard of Mrs. Niang's reputation before she came, and when I saw it today, Mrs. was really kind, Wu Niang wanted to recognize Mrs. as her sister, and asked Mrs. to recognize Wu Niang's sister." ”

The smile on Chu Weilin's face gradually faded.

These words fell on Mrs. Fan's ears, and she almost wanted to scold her for being brazen, she had seen every way to get close to Mrs. Zhizhou, but she had never seen such a bold and direct approach.

Chu Weilin set her eyes on Second Mrs. He and He Sanniang, Second Mrs. He was quite calm and didn't seem surprised by He Wuniang's behavior, while He Sanniang, with a shocked and incredulous face, seemed to be unaware.

Chu Weilin slowly put the teacup on the table: "Oh? Think of me as a sister? And then what? ”

"Then ......" He Wuniang opened her mouth, glanced at Chu Weilin's still flat belly, and said, "Master Chang is gentle and elegant, and her appearance is extraordinary. ”

Chu Weilin hooked the corners of her lips and smiled coldly.

And so it was.

Chang Jia Wulang, who was the dream of many daughters in the capital, not to mention those who secretly admired behind his back, Zhao Hanyi only had to make his words clear in front of his ancestors.

But that was all before Chang Yuyun and her were married, and since they made up their minds, they didn't dare to have such thoughts anymore.

Moreover, Chang Yuyun usually behaves properly, not only outside, but at home, but in the yard, if he is not right-minded, he has already sent it away, just so as not to make Chu Weilin awkward for this kind of thing.

But neither of them nor the two husbands and wives expected that when they left the capital and came to Jinzhou, they would encounter such an unattainable stupidity.

Chu Weilin looked He Wuniang up and down a few times, Chang Yuyun's skin was attractive, her wife made him confused from time to time day and night, He Wuniang probably fainted when she saw Chang Yuyun's appearance occasionally, right?

"It turns out that I didn't listen to my good name, but my father's good name!" Chu Weilin snorted, "What sister, do you want to come to our house to be small?" ”

The word "small", Chu Weilin bit it very hard, He Wuniang's face was red and white for a while, clenched her fists to make herself stand very straight, and said: "Wu Niang admires Lord Chang, and only wants to be with adults, and Wu Niang has never thought about the rest of the mundane things." ”

With such remarks, Chu Weilin couldn't help laughing: "Also, what kind of wife and concubine is indeed a mundane thing." Speaking of this, Chu Weilin suddenly changed her words and asked the old ladies and ladies present, "Before our lord married me, there were many girls in Beijing who admired our lord, but after I passed the door, no one mentioned it anymore, let alone come to me to say such a thing, I just came to Jinzhou, I don't know the customs here, are the girls in Jinzhou so bold?"
