19. Fragrance gets into trouble
In the carriage, An Xiaoxiao's grandmother, Mrs. Wang, looked at her granddaughter and nodded with satisfaction. She wore a light pink gauze dress, with two buns like small balls on her head, two hairbands of the same color hanging from her clothes, and a few pearls to simply decorate. An Xiaoxiao was originally well-behaved and likable, with a fair and pink face, and with this fresh makeup, she was full of spring breath, and it made people want to be close to her.
The more Mrs. Wang looked at it, the more happy she became, but when she thought of the master's plan, she couldn't help frowning. She doesn't want her lovely granddaughter to climb such high branches, the glory and wealth that men think and the happiness that women want are never the same.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang decided not to tell her granddaughter about the banquet, and instead instructed her how to salute people for a while, who she wanted to meet, and so on.
An Xiaoxiao nodded obediently on the surface, but in her mind, she was combing through the information of the Hou Mansion.
The Hou family of Jincheng is a family of military generals, and the war has led to countless deaths and injuries in the Hou Mansion for many years. The current marquis, Mu Chengxiu, is already the only bloodline of the Mu family, and he has two sons and a daughter under his knees. When the first emperor Baili Jin was alive, he was afraid of the high achievements of the Mu family, so he dismissed Mu Chengxiu from his military position on the grounds of sympathy for the weakness of the heirs of the Hou Mansion, and only gave him a false position of the Hou Lord. At that time, Mu Chengxiu was only in his thirties, just in the prime of life.
After Emperor Shi An ascended the throne, this situation changed 180 degrees. This medicine jar emperor really surprised the few old guys who helped him to the throne at the beginning, and he deliberately supported a group of officials who were not valued before, forming a force that cannot be underestimated. Jincheng Hou Mu Chengxiu was the first target he recruited. Recently, I heard that there was some change in the northern barbarians, and the emperor summoned the Marquis of Jincheng to the palace to participate, which was regarded by the court as a signal that the Marquis of Jincheng was about to take over the military again.
And An Xiaoxiao's grandfather, the Wang family, also threw themselves into the emperor's camp, and they were the same as the Marquis of Jincheng. Because of this, the Wang family, who was only the Yin of the Capital Mansion, got the blue eyes of the Hou Mansion and got an invitation card.
During the change of thoughts, the Hou Mansion arrived.
An Xiaoxiao followed her grandmother to meet Mrs. Hou and the old lady, and after getting a few words of praise from "Ice and Snow is cute, well-behaved and sensible", she was taken by the maid to the garden to participate in the flower viewing party.
In fact, this cherry blossom viewing party was originally only invited to various school-age ladies, and adults did not need to follow. However, An Xiaoxiao was too young and had just arrived in the capital, so she was led by her grandmother.
In other words, An Xiaoxiao followed the maidservant to wear left and right, and finally came to the Houfu Garden. When she was informed, she went into the garden.
In the park, the scattered pavilions and pavilions made An Xiaoxiao secretly praise. Not far away, in the gazebo, a group of girls in the mood for flowers, dressed in various costumes, were talking softly. Next to them, a peach tree was in full bloom, and the breeze blew, and the pink petals broke away from the stamens and floated in the air. Under this romantic flower rain, people and flowers are intertwined, and I don't know who is more delicate?
An Xiaoxiao was dazzled. Taking an ordinary banquet of a young lady from the Hou Mansion as an example, are these ladies also dressed too grandly and exquisitely?
Coming straight to the pavilion, An Xiaoxiao saluted to the one sitting in the middle and being surrounded by people: "An Xiaoxiao greets Miss Mu." ”
The eldest lady of the Mu family, Mu Lanxi, is fourteen years old, born with a flower and a moon appearance, and because of her dancing since childhood, her body is flexible, and she already has a bit of charm at a young age. She glanced at the person who came, and said with a smile: "Sister An, don't be polite, please sit down." ”
An Xiaoxiao also smiled and sat in the last position. She is young, and her father is a businessman, so she is not as noble as this. Of course, the most important thing is that An Xiaoxiao really feels that she is a woman in her twenties, and she can't find a common language with this group of teenage girls.
Mu Lanxi had no objection to An Xiaoxiao's move. Originally, she felt that she was a dignified concubine of a marquis, and it was really a bit cheap to entertain a granddaughter of Fu Yin. Not to mention such a special occasion today. If it weren't for her mother's request, she wouldn't have done it.
An Xiaoxiao looked at her nose and nose, and planned to spend an afternoon just like this, taking the opportunity to think about the mysteries of the universe, the philosophy of life, and so on, but suddenly heard a young lady pat herself on the back and say, "Sister Mu, what kind of incense and steaming clothes do you use?" The smell on your body is so good, like a peach blossom. ”
This answer An Xiaoxiao knows better than anyone else. Sure enough, Mu Lanxi replied proudly: "This is the latest spring limited edition fragrance launched by New Xiangfang - Peach Drunk." ”
The magnates speak differently, she only needs to get up, and someone will immediately take over the matter of walking the horse for her. I heard another young lady immediately answer: "It turned out to be Xinxiangfang!" His family's new incense is so precious that it sells only fifty boxes in each city. A few days ago, it was announced that it was going to launch 'Peach Drunk', and who among the nobles in the city didn't send someone to wait in line overnight? For example, a small household like ours is not ranked at all, and now they are still using the 'plum blossom branding' that their family came out last year. Unexpectedly, Sister Mu has already used the upper limit of the new model! ”
Mu Lanxi said lightly: "Is it difficult to buy, Lanxi is not very clear." This is the new incense fang tribute to the palace. When the prince's brother heard that I liked it, he took two boxes and gave them to me. ”
There was another exclamation. An Xiaoxiao shook her head secretly, this eldest lady still owes a little heat to be a person, showing off her wealth and relationships like this, I don't know how many dark arrows she will attract for herself?
Who knew that before this dark arrow stabbed Miss Mu, it overturned An Xiaoxiao first.
A girl in yellow beside her chuckled, and a glutinous voice flowed from her bright lips: "'Peach Drunk' is really so hard to buy?" Then Sister Anjia has to teach some secrets to her sisters, how did you buy it? ”
Another girl walked up to An Xiaoxiao's side, sniffed in front of her, and said, "That's right, Sister An's fragrance is the same as Miss Mu!" ”
