Miss Qi, whose name is Qi Ziyun, is only fifteen or sixteen years old, so it can be said that this garden party hosted by Chang Min Gong is very timely for her. First, her father Qi Zongyuan has just been promoted to the squire of the military department, and his foundation is not stable, and he urgently needs a marriage to consolidate his position, and secondly, she is also a strong and top-notch person, with a high vision, and always wants to find a fast son-in-law who is admired by everyone.

Therefore, she chose a person who was inferior to herself everywhere to accompany her, that is, Dong Yuyao, the second daughter of Dong Jisheng, his father's direct subordinate.

What she didn't expect was that Dong Jisheng's eldest daughter Dong Yuzhen was not as useless as Dong Yuyao said. On the contrary, she is a little more glorious than Dong Yuyao, and among the people she knows, she is even bigger than her family.

But because Ruiyuan Lou embarrassed Dong Yuzhen, and said some roundabout words when she was at the door, Qi Ziyun couldn't pull her face to get close to her now.

Another point is because of the relationship between forest and bamboo. Seeing Lin Zhu and Du Bin, the second son of the Du family, talking and laughing at the door today, Qi Ziyun was a little surprised, she had seen Du Bin once two or three years ago, but Du Bin at that time was even more rigid than now, but from the mouth of her father and brother, she heard that Du Bin is not only outstanding in literature, but also very good at martial arts, both civil and military.

In addition, Du Bin has a very good family background, his grandfather is the previous secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and his father is the current secretary of the Ministry of Industry, which is also unique in the capital. So Du Bin's future is bright, how can this not make Qi Ziyun's heart move.

The Du family is considered to be prosperous, with a total of five sons. In the capital, he is also the best candidate for the number one son-in-law. And Du Bin is the second, and the eldest Du Chun has already married, and the remaining third, fourth and fifth are still young and not of marriageable age, so Du Bin is now the hot time.

Qi Ziyun was a little anxious in her heart and wanted to know how Dong Yuzhen met Du Bin, and she was so good that she took the Du family's carriage to participate in the garden party.

So she has been taking Dong Yuyao to find traces of Lin Zhu and others. Dong Yuyao hoped that Qi Ziyun could introduce more official ladies to her. It would be better if you could show your face in front of people.

"Sister Yuyao, how can you say that she is also your sister, the two sisters participated in the garden party at the same time, but they were not together, and it was easy to be criticized by others. I'd better go with you and find them. Qi Ziyun coaxed Dong Yuyao to find Dong Yuzhen.

Although Dong Yuyao was not very reluctant. But in order to put on an empathetic and beautiful appearance in front of everyone, she still obeyed Qi Ziyun's words.

At this time, Lin Zhu and Dong Yuzhen were admiring a chrysanthemum. "Sister Jane, this flower is too beautiful."

"In the end, it is a treasure raised in the palace. It's so exciting. "Dong Yuzhen, a pure ancient, knows much more than Lin Zhu, a half-ancient person who became a monk halfway. For some upper-class people like to do things. You can also have it at your fingertips.

And Lin Zhu doesn't talk about this life. I haven't seen much of this chrysanthemum in my previous life, and even if I saw the picture, I forgot it in a blink of an eye. How can there be the shock of seeing the real thing now.

"Miss Jane does have eyesight." Aunt Chang nodded with a smile, Lin Zhu didn't know that she was not surprised by the title of this chrysanthemum, after all, how could a small mountain village have the opportunity to see such a treasure.

"Aunt Chang, have you seen all these chrysanthemums?" Lin Zhu raised his head and asked.

"Well, I've seen some of them." Aunt Chang said modestly. Although this chrysanthemum will breed some new varieties every year, the new varieties that may be put on the table are easy to come out, so most of the chrysanthemums here, Aunt Chang has seen them.

"Girl, that one is Luyun, this one is Huangshi Gong, that one is Yuhu Spring, and this one is Liuyue ...... West Lake," Aunt Chang introduced Lin Zhu as she walked.

"Aunt Chang, look, there is still this color?" Lin Zhu pointed to a flower that was crimson to purple and somewhat black.

"This should be this year's new chrysanthemum." It was also the first time for Aunt Chang to see a chrysanthemum of this color, but it didn't prevent her from hearing the name of this ink chrysanthemum before.

"The more difficult the color to breed, the more precious it is a chrysanthemum." Dong Yuzhen also came to the front and watched carefully.

In Lin Zhu's heart, chrysanthemums are nothing more than yellow, white, green, and red, she really has no love for this dark color, her eyes swept around, and she saw a chrysanthemum like an instant noodle that had not been soaked. Curious, he walked up to him.

The colors are red and purple, but the color in the middle is mostly yellow, and Lin Zhu can't see the doorway when he looks left and right, so he has to turn to Aunt Chang for help.

"Aunt Chang, what is the name of this chrysanthemum?"

"This chrysanthemum is called Phoenix Zhenyu." Aunt Chang walked to her side, glanced at it and said, "Girl, you see this chrysanthemum petals stretching outward, the tail of the petals curling upward, shaped like a phoenix spreading its wings, the middle petals report inward, like a phoenix dancing brightly, the color of the flower is red and yellow, the flower shape is beautiful and moving, so that people can hear its name and appreciate its flowers, just like the wonderful appearance of the phoenix spreading its wings." ”

Aunt Chang made a phone call, and Dong Yuzhen, who listened to it, nodded again and again, praising this flower as indeed worthy of its name. But Lin Zhu looked at it. These half-opened chrysanthemums are like instant noodles that have not been soaked.

But she didn't dare to say it, otherwise what if Aunt Chang asked her to make up for this knowledge?

As everyone knows, Aunt Chang saw that Lin Zhu didn't understand anything, and she already had the heart to teach.

The group walked and stopped, which was very pleasant.

"In the end, it is a royal garden, and this grass and tree complement each other so well." Lin Zhu exclaimed.

"Doesn't Sister Xiaozhu want to learn from the appearance of this royal garden? What's the catch? Dong Yuzhen mentioned Lin Zhu's original intention.

"I have some ideas, but I don't have that much money to build like this." Lin Zhu shook his head.

"Hehe, girl, this kind of garden pays attention to local conditions, you better listen to Old Man Du's advice." Aunt Chang also smiled.

"Of course you have to listen to Grandpa Du." Lin Zhu sighed, her own family background was still too shallow, if she was like this place, even one-tenth of the ministers, she couldn't afford to build it.

"Okay, since you're out to play today, don't think about those things, and rest for a day with your little head." Dong Yuzhen took Lin Zhu's hand and persuaded him.

"Yes, girl, the garden is not in a hurry, let's build it slowly." Aunt Chang also agreed.

"By the way, I'm going to find Sister Yan." Lin Zhu suddenly remembered that he had made an appointment to meet Wang Qingyan that day. "Let's go find them."

Looking at Lin Zhu for a while, Dong Yuzhen and Aunt Chang looked at each other and smiled, such childishness is really rare in Lin Zhu.

In the garden, there are quite a few servants of Princess Changmin's mansion, standing in various corners or inconspicuous places, the purpose of which is to take care of these guests at any time. In addition, there are also some activities held in the garden, all of which are piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that everyone loves to compare together.

Lin Zhu didn't know anything about this, so he didn't come forward, and Dong Yuzhen was not too outstanding in this regard, just like Lin Zhu, he hid far away.

But this kind of place is the most noticeable.

Moreover, Princess Changmin deliberately decorated the spacious pavilions in some places as places for everyone to play the piano, calligraphy and painting.

So it's easy to see a group of people gathered there. Wang Qingyan, who Lin Zhu was looking for, was also among them.

Wang Qingyan didn't dare to go out for several years, and she had nothing to do at home, so she placed her affection on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In addition, she has two smart brothers, so she is still very good at these aspects.

When Lin Zhu found her, Wang Qingyan was playing the piano.

Lin Zhu didn't have much research on the guqin, but seeing the people around him listening to it as if they were fascinated, he could also see that Wang Qingyan's talent was extraordinary. And the sound of the piano did make Lin Zhu feel clear in his mind, as if the whole person's thoughts followed the sound of the piano to the clouds.

At the end of the song, the scene was silent, and it was only after a moment that the people's admiration was heard.

Wang Qingyan stood up, thanked her embarrassedly, and walked out from the side of the guqin. Her face was red, and it was the first time she had played in front of such a crowd. If it weren't for Cousin Manyun prying her, she might not have the guts.

Now it seems that the effect is very good, these young ladies are not only shocked by her restored face, but also impressed by her talent, and no one says that the young lady of the Wang family is useless and ugly.

It's a bit shy to face so many people. Wang Qingyan pulled Zhang Manyun and Song Hanyu out of the pavilion.

I happened to see Lin Zhu standing not far from the pavilion.

"Sister Bamboo, you're here." Wang Qingyan happily walked towards Lin Zhu.

"Sister Yan, it's amazing." Lin Zhu clapped his hands and praised.

"Even you make fun of me." Wang Qingyan blushed her cheeks, and shook Lin Zhu's hand unreluctantly.

"I'm telling the truth, right? Sister Yun. Lin Zhu looked at Zhang Manyun and tried to be a witness.

"Of course. My cousin's piano skills have been instructed by famous teachers, so how can I not be amazed. Zhang Manyun echoed. She saw the reactions of the people around her.

"Alright, stop praising me." Wang Qingyan calmed down, pulled Lin Zhu, and introduced to Song Hanyu, "Hanyu, this bamboo sister, surnamed Lin, has a bamboo character in her single name, she is one year older than you, it is inconvenient to introduce you to Ruiyuan Building that day, she may be her cousin's benefactor." ”

"Sister Zhu, this is my little aunt's daughter, surnamed Song Hanyu."

"Miss Song, we'll meet again." Lin Zhu greeted her.

"I've heard my cousin praise you all the time, I was in a hurry that day, and when I saw it today, it was really as my cousin said, smart and clever." Song Hanyu is very polite, but she doesn't speak like a child.

"This is my good sister, surnamed Dong and Yuzhen, the same year as Sister Yun." Dong Yuzhen has been standing beside her, Lin Zhu saw that her expression was a little gloomy, probably because of the identity of Wang Qingyan and others, she was a little inferior.

"Sister Yuzhen and I have known each other for a long time." Zhang Manyun took her hand very brightly. (To be continued......)
