When Chi Linglong heard the news that she was going to go to Jiangfu to participate in the flower banquet with the three concubines of the Zhou family, the Lin family, and the Jiang family, under the light of the calcium carbide fire in her mind, many clues that she had ignored before flashed.

After returning to Qinglan Courtyard, I thought carefully for a long time, straightened out all the unreasonable plots, and suddenly realized that it was not just an accident that Chi Mingxuan was forced to marry Lin Qing in the last life, and it was completely a long-planned design.

When the last Jiangfu held a flower banquet, because she was at the birthday banquet of the old lady of Qingyang Bofu, she had a reputation of "restlessness" and "shamelessness", and the Anguo Mansion wanted to withdraw from her family, and the Zhou family and the Lin family in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion wanted their respective daughters to change their relatives instead of her. At that time, it was the time when she had a "bad disease" and was about to be sent to another hospital to recuperate, so she did not participate in the flower banquet in Jiangfu.

In my memory, it seems that after this flower banquet, Chi Mingxuan, who was only eleven years old, and Lin Qing, who was only nine years old, quickly got married, and after Lin Qing turned fifteen, the two naturally got married.

At that time, Chi Zhongyuan, the Marquis of Zhongyong, went to the capital to serve because of the love of the saint today, and the entire Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion has since moved to the capital. When Chi Mingxuan got married, the third uncle Chi Zhongli was already a cabinet attendant of Zheng Liupin.

Chi Mingxuan was married back to Jingyuan Bofu in Yizhou, had three abortions, and was pregnant for the fourth time, and finally survived until July, but was bumped into the lake by Lin Qing's concubine, and when she was rescued, she was already out of breath and less in breath. Because the amniotic fluid broke, the baby could not be born, and finally ended up alive with one corpse and two lives.

Chi Linglong thought about it, and the way to the Jiang family felt much closer. It seemed that he had just gotten into the carriage, and in the blink of an eye, he had heard the noise and noise of people outside, and Jiang Fu had arrived.

When Shi saw the carriage of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion arrive, he greeted him with joy. First, he exchanged greetings with the Zhou family and the Lin family, and instructed the eldest daughter-in-law, Xiao Shi, to entertain the distinguished guests, but he held Jiang's arm and asked the Jiang family to help welcome the guests.

Zhou Shi hurriedly said: "It's all your own people, where do you need so many courtesies?" ”

He patted Xiao Shi's arm funny, and said with a gentle and loving smile: "Good boy, just busy with your go." We are in-laws, and we still need you to be so polite there, and it is only right that we help you entertain guests. ”

In-laws and in-laws, in this dynasty where the family power is intertwined, the help of the in-laws should not be underestimated.

Let's just say that the flower banquet held in Jiangfu today, as the head snake of the indigenous land in Yizhou, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, yesterday also sent a lot of maids, women, cooks, and small servants to come over, and also sent a lot of fresh seasonal vegetables, melons and fruits, plates, cups and saucers.

Jiang Mansion doesn't need to talk about these people and things for the time being, if the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion doesn't come forward to help at all, it will be said that he can't do things, doesn't talk about feelings, and will be gossiped about.

Jiang naturally happily agreed to Shi's request and greeted the guests at the second gate with Shi. When the sister-in-law was still in the boudoir, they were good girlfriends, and when Shi married into Jiangfu, the two were almost like sisters.

I think that in the last life, if it wasn't for Chi Mingxuan being plotted in Jiang Mansion, having a skin-to-skin relationship with Lin Qing, and having to marry into the tiger and wolf den in Jingyuan Bofu, the Jiang family would not have hated the second brother and sister-in-law, Jiang Hai and Shi, so that even the Jiang Pavilion elder in the capital hated it. Even if he later settled in the capital, he didn't go to Jiangfu until the New Year's holidays, and after Ji Mingxuan's death, he completely didn't get along with Jiangfu, and his good mother's family became an enemy.

Zhou was welcomed into the flower hall by Xiao Shi, so Xiao Shi was busy with her own work, and she took Shi's place to entertain the female relatives who came to Jiang's house as guests today.

Although the second lady Lin secretly hated the left and right of the Zhou family, she also knew that this was not the time for infighting, so she also snorted coldly a few times, and also found familiar ladies to gossip.

Chi Linglong and other girls were led by Xiao Shi to the garden of Jiangfu to see chrysanthemums.

Jiangfu is holding a chrysanthemum banquet today, and the main flower must be a chrysanthemum.

In September, the jade dew is cool, the osmanthus is fragrant, so in the golden autumn season, there are hundreds of pots of blooming chrysanthemums in the back garden of Jiangfu, red, yellow, green, dark and white, colorful chrysanthemums, colorful and gorgeous, so that all the girls who saw this magnificent and gorgeous scene at first sight couldn't help but burst into excitement and disbelief exclamations.

If it weren't for the dignity of being a beautiful lady to remind them, and the feudal etiquette and education restrained them, these little girls would really scream excitedly.

Although Yizhou is located in the hinterland of the Great Wei Dynasty, the location is southern, and the climate is warm and humid, which is the most suitable for the growth of flowers. The family of the noble family, every year in September, each prefecture also has to hold a chrysanthemum feast. However, such a large-scale and large-scale chrysanthemum exhibition, they really saw it for the first time in their lives.

Even a pair of kaolin flowers, the unattainable six girls Chi Mingzhu, in their cold eyes, rarely showed a shocked look, and then did not say hello to the main family, but went straight to a pot of purple dragon nest snow chrysanthemums that were golden on the outside but red on the inside, and watched them carefully.

Xiao Shi is Shi's maiden niece, and Shi's eldest daughter-in-law, she is graceful and slender, ruddy and white skin, slightly round face, a pair of apricot eyes bent into a crescent moon when she laughs, and she speaks softly, looking like a good wife and mother. Person.

"Today's chrysanthemums, if you like them, when the banquet is over, you can choose a pot you like to take back." As soon as Xiao Shi's words fell, the girls who were lively and began to run around the scene looked up at Xiao Shi in real surprise, and chattered happily, "Really? "Is this true from the Jiang family's sister-in-law?"

Xiao Shi covered his mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled: "This is naturally true." If you sisters like it, you can bring a pot back to your house to raise, which is also a small gift to your sisters in our house. However, there is a small requirement, each person can only pick a maximum of one pot. ”

The chrysanthemums that Jiangfu put out this time, the flowers are gorgeous and dazzling, gorgeous and compelling, which makes people delight when they see it, and the varieties are also complete, although there are not many treasures, there are thirty or forty pots to say the least.

This is also Xiao Shi's and Shi Ge Lao, the grandfather of Zhishi, who has learned the good craft of waiting for flowers, and can raise so many precious treasures every year, not to mention that they are used as favors to earn face, and they are not less helpful to Jiangfu.

It is also that most of the guests invited by Jiangfu today are distinguished guests, Xiao Shi listened to the instructions of her in-laws and father-in-law, and decided to send the chrysanthemums out today to do favors, otherwise, the hard work that has been carefully raised for several years will be given away so easily, and she will not be distressed to death.

Xiao Shi's words fell, and for a while, the little girls who had not yet reached the end couldn't help but cheer again. Three or five groups of people are together, and they go to the sea of flowers to find their favorites, which is really a lively scene.

Chi Linglong also followed the flow into the chrysanthemum exhibition area, and after less than a quarter of an hour of shopping, she felt that someone next to her was approaching, and she glanced sideways, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

"Why did you come here on your own? What about Sister Huan? "The person who came was Xie Hui, the second girl from Qingyang Bofu.

Chi Linglong didn't have much friends with her before, although everyone is a native of Yizhou and a noble daughter of the same family, but on the one hand, because Chi Linglong is a concubine, the Zhou family is not happy for her to be in the limelight, and Xie Hui is the second girl of Qingyang Bofu, and the identities of the two of them are far apart.

Even if she is Xie Hui's future third cousin-in-law, before the real dust settles on her marriage with Mu Changyao, although she can be close to Qingyang Bofu, it is not good to rush up too much, so as not to fall into the reputation of flattering and the face of the Marquis of Zhongyong.

Second, Xie Hui is not a person who can be intimate with people. Although she doesn't feel unattainable like Chi Mingzhu, she also exudes an aura that no one can approach.

Chi Linglong had not been able to get along with Xie Hui for six or seven years before, but she didn't expect that after more than half a month, the relationship between the two was changing day by day.

Although the two still don't talk much, they seem to be old friends who have been friends for decades, and they have an indescribable tacit understanding.

Chi Linglong stood up and walked with Xie Hui to a secluded place.

"Sister Huan went to find the seven girls in your house." Xie Hui's tone of voice was lukewarm, if an ordinary little girl was treated like this by her, she would have run away with her cheeks puffed out aggrievedly. On the contrary, it was Chi Linglong, who smiled disapprovingly.

Although Xie Hui is a little cold, she is definitely not a difficult woman to contact, she was just born like this, and her temperament is cold.

Chi Linglong didn't speak, the two of them walked forward aimlessly, and suddenly, Xie Hui said coldly, "Xie Xian is also here." ”

Xie Xian is also here?

Chi Linglong frowned, and her footsteps stopped in place. Seeing Xie Hui looking back at her with a calm face, Chi Linglong couldn't help but bend her eyes, and continued to keep up with Xie Hui's pace and walk forward.

"Why did she come here?" Ji Linglong asked with a smile.

At the birthday banquet in Qingyang Bofu before, Xie Hui had the audacity to pit Xie Xian, although the methods were rough and risky, Xie Hui simply gambled on his mother Gao's thoughts, and finally succeeded. And like the last straw that pressed on the camel's body, it gave Xie Xian the most fierce and unbearable blow.

- Even her biological mother had to abandon her at a critical moment, Chi Linglong can imagine that Xie Xian's heart was like ashes at that time.

It's just that what you sow, what you reap. One qiē is just Xie Xian's own fault.

She didn't have time to sympathize with Xie Xian, nor did she have the idleness. The same bitterness "she" has also suffered, even more infamous than Xie Xian. RS
