Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and this sentence is applicable wherever it is placed.

The garden party prepared lunch for the guests, but Princess Changmin had a whim, so that the people did not prepare a table, but put out the dishes that were well dressed, and let the sons and ladies choose at will.

Of course, it is also their freedom to choose who they dine with.

After Lin Zhu heard this, he was happy in his heart, isn't this the form of a buffet? It also saved her from having dinner with some people she didn't know.

Just along the way, there were a few official ladies who seemed to have opinions about her, and their eyes were not very friendly. Lin Zhu was in a depressed mood.

Fortunately, with Wang Qingyan and others, no one casually stepped forward to provoke, she was still more comfortable, if it was just her and Dong Yuzhen, she might be ridiculed and embarrassed by a jealous young lady.

Lin Zhu and the others chose a pavilion with a good scenery as a place to eat, and after sitting down, they waited for the maid around them to get food. However, because the gazebo they chose was relatively large, and there were several tables in it, there was another group of people who also dined here.

"Sister Xiaozhu, what are you doing at home now?" Wang Qingyan asked curiously.

"The autumn harvest is over, so it's naturally a busy affair." Lin Zhu replied disapprehantly.

Like Wang Qingyan, Zhang Manyun and Dong Yuzhen, they all know that Lin Zhu has a lot of fields at home, and they also know that Lin Zhu seems to like doing these things very much, and they don't feel anything wrong when they hear it, but Song Hanyu, who heard about it for the first time, looked at Lin Zhu a little strangely.

"You're still doing the work of the fields?" She asked, puzzled.

"Hmm." Lin Zhu nodded, "But." Actually, I don't do it directly. Lin Zhu suddenly saw a table of people next to him and seemed to hear their conversation. It's all the housekeepers who take people to do it, and just report it to me later. However, there are some things that you have to ask for yourself. ”

The things grown in the forest and bamboo grange are all special grades, although you don't need to do it yourself, but you have to go to the ground to see it in person.

"That's hard." Although Song Hanyu has never seen how farmers plant in spring and harvest in autumn, she has also heard of the difficulty. In addition, she saw that her two cousins were very good to Lin Zhu, so she didn't have any dislike ideas.

"It's fine." Lin Zhu smiled. also has a good impression of Song Hanyu.

"Xiaoyu. Sister Bamboo, there are a lot of people in her family, and she doesn't need to work. Zhang Manyun explained that she had lived in Lin Zhu's house for a while, so she still knew her very well.

"Still. Bamboo sister. Is there any grape left? Wang Qingyan suddenly asked with some embarrassment.

"Hmm. There are still some that are not picked and may take a few days to fully ripen. Lin Zhu said.

"Can you sell me some?" Wang Qingyan said a little shyly, "Recently, my grandfather somehow. Some food doesn't know the taste, but after tasting your grapes today, I think his old man should like to eat them. ”

"There's no need to sell it, Sister Yan can send someone to pick it up from me in a few days, or I can send it to you after I pick it all." Lin Zhu shook his head and rejected Wang Qingyan's idea of wanting to pay.

"It's not good." Although Wang Qingyan didn't know how much the grapes of the Lin Zhu family were sold, judging from the fact that Princess Changmin deliberately took them out at the garden party, it would definitely not be too cheap. Besides, Lin Zhu made a living from this, and she was embarrassed to take it for nothing.

"It's okay, there aren't many grapes today, so I didn't sell them." Lin Zhu said with a smile.

"Then ...... here," Wang Qingyan swept the garden with her eyes.

"Oh, I have some connections with the people of the Muyue Firm." Lin Zhu whispered. And gave them a look to keep it a secret.

Wang Qingyan and the others all nodded, and did not ask in depth.

Because before eating, Wang Qingyan and Zhang Manyun took Lin Zhu and them to greet the people at the table next to them, so the whole eating process was very peaceful.

But after eating, there was a different atmosphere.

First of all, they heard some conversations between Lin Zhu and others, and they were still a little curious about Lin Zhu, but they looked down on Lin Zhu's identity.

Moreover, at Lin Zhu's table, except for the identities of Wang Qingyan and Zhang Manyun, which are better, in fact, almost all of them are unknown people in the capital, which makes them feel that they are superior.

Sun Shuirong, who is the leader, is the granddaughter of Sun Lingjin, the secretary of the ministry, and thinks that she is no worse than Wang Qingyan, so she doesn't take Wang Qingyan and others in her eyes.

Before she didn't know the identity of Lin Zhu, she was still somewhat restrained, but when she heard that Lin Zhu was just a farmer, she despised Lin Zhu and Wang Qingyan from the bottom of her heart.

The more she looked at them, the more unpleasant she felt, especially Wang Qingyan's jade-like face, as well as Lin Zhu's good luck against the sky, which were the objects of her jealousy.

Just when she was still thinking about how to give Lin Zhu and the others some ugliness, the subordinates sent by Princess Changmin gave her a good opportunity.

It turned out that Princess Changmin was in the Lingbo Pavilion next to Jingshui Lake in this royal garden and was going to let the young ladies who came here show off their attainments in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Hearing this, Sun Shuirong felt that the opportunity to suppress the arrogance of Lin Zhu and others had come, she thought to herself, Lin Zhu was just a peasant girl, she shouldn't know much about these, although she was well dressed, but from her familiarity with Wang Qingyan and others, it was unknown if it was given to her by Wang Qingyan.

So after hearing the news of the next person, Sun Shuirong walked to the table of Lin Zhu and the others with a smile on her face.

glanced at Lin Zhu, and talked to Wang Qingyan privately, "Miss Wang, Her Royal Highness Princess Changmin has prepared some programs and invited us to go, so it's better to go over together." ”

Sun Shuirong's eyes were fluttering, and when she crossed Lin Zhu's face, there was a trace of disdain. Lin Zhu, who was caught by chance, was secretly surprised in her heart, because she didn't know this Miss Sun.

"Okay." Wang Qingyan didn't notice anything wrong, and she didn't see the disdain in Sun Shuirong's eyes.

"You two should come along." Sun Shuirong pointed to Lin Zhu and Dong Yuzhen, and said anti-customer-oriented.

The appearance of being superior made five people, including Wang Qingyan, very unhappy. Wang Qingyan just wanted to speak. was stopped by Lin Zhu. Now she finally understands why Sun Shuirong looked at her with disdain in her eyes, is this aimed at her at all?

Lin Zhu was very annoyed in his heart, did his sister look like a bully?

"When I came to the garden party, I was invited by Her Royal Highness Princess Changmin, so there is no reason not to go." Lin Zhu looked at Wang Qingyan and said with a smile, "Sister Yan, if there is anything I don't understand when the time comes, you have to help me." ”

After Lin Zhu's words were finished, Wang Qingyan and Zhang Manyun both laughed, "You still use your cousin to help you." Zhang Manyun stood up with a smile.

"Not really." Wang Qingyan also smiled. Clever as she is. Of course, I understand the meaning of these words.

Sun Shuirong's face was a little bad, and she was also very angry in her heart, she regarded what she had just done as a matter of course, but she couldn't bear the ignorance of a person with a low status. But she still has some scruples about the identities of Wang Qingyan and Zhang Manyun.

The Wang family is a noble family. Old man Wang has many protégés. You can't be offended easily. But the Zhang family is a family of imperial doctors. No matter when you offend the doctor, it is not a very wise decision, especially since Dr. Zhang is known for his superb medical skills.

So she just glared at Lin Zhu fiercely, and walked away with her legs raised. By the way, the ladies who came with her were also called away. There is no intention to wait for Wang Qingyan and others.

Seeing her so cautious, Wang Qingyan spread out her hands indifferently, and also walked towards Jingshui Lake with a few people.

Sun Shuirong walked with an angry mood, although the people around her persuaded her, she still felt uneasy.

"Hmph, when you get to Lingbo Pavilion, you must make her look good." Sun Shuirong secretly planned in her heart.

When he arrived at the edge of Jingshui Lake, Lin Zhu looked at the wave of lake water, the blue waves were rippling, the breeze was gently blowing on the trees by the lake, and the reflection in the lake water was also gently swaying with the small ripples. If there are fewer people here, there will be a quiet and distant atmosphere.

However, the crowd of people around broke the calm of the lake. From time to time, a few young ladies and sons walked by the lake.

Of course, Childe and Miss are all around the lake, walking Lingbo Pavilion from two directions, and can only look at it from afar, although they can see the appearance, but they are a little swept away.

Originally, Lin Zhu still wanted to find Du Bin and Dong Wenbo, but if it was too obvious, it would be easy to attract truth, so she just glanced at the other side of the lake a few times, and then gave up the idea of looking for the two.

"Sister Zhen, I don't know if Second Brother Du and Brother Dong can't get over?" Lin Zhu turned her head to look at Dong Yuzhen's appearance, and knew that she also wanted to find Dong Wenbo's trace.

"Who knows? It's so far away that I can't see it clearly. Dong Yuzhen is not worried about what happened to Dong Wenbo, but she always has some worries in her heart, after all, she is her own brother.

"My brother and they are also here, but with their temperament, who knows where Lu Dao will go." Wang Qingyan pouted. She originally wanted to introduce Lin Zhu to them. But I didn't expect that after the men and women separated here, they never saw each other again.

Saying this, Lin Zhu realized that except for her, everyone else had an older brother or younger brother to participate.

When the few of them arrived, they saw that some very large screens were placed in the Lingbo Pavilion, separated from them, presumably deliberately arranged in order to prevent men and women from seeing each other's appearances.

Lin Zhu thought about it and felt that this was understandable, she was thinking about whether it was too avant-garde for Chang Min to host such a blind date, and it was not advisable to think about a blind date with such a strict male and female society now.

But when they arrived, not only did the men and women separate the royal garden, but they also separated the regional operations. Now, although they are gathered together, you can see the appearance of this screen, if you want to see the situation of the person opposite, you can only jump out of the pavilion and soak in the lake to see.

Lingbo Pavilion is so named because it is a mid-lake pavilion connected by two arch bridges, and such a pavilion was built on top of the lake.

The lake is not particularly wide, but the Lingbo Pavilion is a boxy building, so from the inside, the Lingbo Pavilion is not narrow.

When Lin Zhu and the others entered the pavilion, someone immediately came to arrange seats for them. And their seats happen to be adjacent to the seats of Sun Shuirong and others.

According to politeness, when Wang Qingyan took Lin Zhu and the others to sit over, she gently bowed her head to say hello, but Sun Shuirong looked arrogant and didn't even give a return salute.

It made Lin Zhu feel that this person was too petty, and it was not worth talking about it at all, and he had to be wary of whether she would come up with any bad ideas, scheming or something.

Princess Changmin, who was sitting on the main seat, was looking around with a smile, and when she saw Lin Zhu and the others coming, although her face had not changed, her eyes were dark.

It happened that Lin Zhu looked up and looked in her direction, and the eyes of the two collided together, Lin Zhu was a little strange that there seemed to be some unclear meaning in Princess Changmin's eyes, and this meaning was not a dislike for her, but a bit like 'thanks'.

Of course, this feeling is only fleeting. It is impossible for Princess Changmin to be too obvious, let alone show interest in Lin Zhu.

The previous conversation with Lin Zhu was rumored, and Princess Changmin had also heard about it, and like Lin Zhu, Princess Changmin didn't want this matter to be paid too much attention, especially after she knew how important Lin Zhu was to them.

Lin Zhu saw that Princess Changmin didn't look at them again, just as if nothing had happened, and sat down calmly.

But Sun Shuirong, who had been paying attention to her, discovered this scene, especially when Princess Changmin and Lin Zhu looked at each other, Sun Shuirong was even more jealous. The hands under the sleeves were clenched tightly.

At this time, the people in the pavilion were almost seated, and the people around Princess Changmin were also reporting to her. I saw Princess Changmin nodding slightly, and the two stewards beside her walked to the man and the woman respectively.

Princess Changmin thought of some topics and let the men and women play their own roles. And she also prepared some lottery heads, and the person who won the first prize naturally had a lot of benefits.

Because of some encouragement from Princess Changmin, both men and women seem to have aroused some competitiveness. Not to mention the man's side, it is the woman's side, and the ladies are whispering in their respective small groups. A look of eagerness.

Lin Zhu looked at the people around her with some curiosity, because she herself had always only aimed to be able to recognize and write, and did not deliberately cultivate her knowledge of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. Therefore, in the face of these competitions, if she is only allowed to be a bystander, she is willing to cultivate some artistic cells. But if you want her to participate, it's not sensitive, just shame people at home, don't be embarrassed in front of outsiders.
