In August, after the hot summer, the bustling Shangjing has some autumn coolness in the morning and evening, and people prefer August and September in Beijing compared to the hot summer and cold winter, because this is the most comfortable month of the year.

On the sixth day of August, the Hou Mansion of Guangning can be described as a city, with BMW incense cars and fragrant winds, and from time to time I see a noble lady or girl dressed in gorgeous clothes being welcomed into the Hou Mansion of Guangning.

As we all know, there is a chrysanthemum garden in the Marquis of Guangning, there are no less than dozens of famous chrysanthemums, every year, the Marquis of Guangning will also select a few pots from them and send them to the palace for the emperor and the nobles to enjoy, and there are also many people who love chrysanthemums cheekily come to the door to ask for chrysanthemums. Therefore, Guangning Hou is extremely honored, and attaches great importance to the chrysanthemum garden, and hires a special chrysanthemum to take care of the chrysanthemum garden and other things.

At this time, there are two rows of small tables in the huge chrysanthemum garden, on which are placed all kinds of delicate refreshments, and there are also a lot of famous chrysanthemums of various colors that bloom just right, which complement the theme of chrysanthemum appreciation.

Mrs. Guangning Hou smiled like a flower at this time, accompanied a few ladies to stand in front of the two pots of ink chrysanthemums, and I don't know which lady complimented her, and she smiled more and more brightly than this flower.

"Mrs. Shilang is ashamed of me, who doesn't know that there is a courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, there are 10,000 acres of peach trees, and when the peach blossoms bloom in spring, it is a good place for literati and ink writers? Even the two wild monkeys of mine have been there a few times, and each time they say they want to buy such a good land. Mrs. Guangning Hou said with a smile.

The lady was a little complacent when she heard this, but she still made a humble appearance and said: "Mrs. Guangning Hou has praised it falsely, as far as our family's Zhuangzi is concerned, I am afraid that it will not be able to compare with the pot of ink chrysanthemum in front of her." ”

Mrs. Guangning Hou naturally followed modestly and said: "Speaking of that, come, come, the green peony here is also blooming just right, and our family values it very much." ”

Everyone followed her to move to the several pots of green peonies placed on the other side, and they all commented.

Not far away, there is also a group of young girls standing in a few pots of famous chrysanthemums to enjoy and play, from time to time there is a crisp laughter like a bell, and even more, directly chanting poems.

The cool breeze is blowing, the girl is brightly dressed, outstandingly dressed, and everywhere reveals the elegance of youth.

"Looking at them, I feel like I've become an old woman." The lady in charge of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion sighed.

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Jiajunbo echoed: "We also came here like this back then, and now, in the blink of an eye, it really feels like yesterday. ”

"Mrs. Guangning's two daughters really look like a flower, I heard that this sister of your family is the second son of the Dingjun Palace?" Madame Squire changed the subject.

Speaking of her daughter, Mrs. Guangning Hou was even more proud, so she nodded and said, "Exactly, we will get married in February next year." ”

Everyone listened and said congratulations, and Mrs. Shilang asked Ning Minyi again: "What about this little one?" ”

"She's the most out of her temperament, and I still have to teach for two more years." Mrs. Guangning Hou was even happier when she talked about her little daughter, with a smile in her eyebrows and eyes, obviously she loved this daughter very much.

"It's time to say this, and this daughter's family can't get married in a moment." Mrs. Squire said with a smile.

Mrs. Guangning Hou smiled but was silent, and was about to speak, when she heard someone report that the princess of Yongjun had arrived, Mrs. Shen had arrived, and Mrs. Anqinghou had arrived.

Mrs. Guangninghou smiled slightly, but she quickly greeted her with a smile, and when she greeted the group, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she saw a handsome boy beside Mrs. Anqinghou.

The one who is present today should be the princess of Yongjun with the highest grade, followed by the wife of Shen Yang, the prime minister of the dynasty, who is going to be a good order, so those who are not in the rank are naturally saluted.

"The arrival of Princess Yongjun really makes my chrysanthemum garden shine, but it is a coincidence, together with Mrs. Shen and Mrs. An Qinghou." Mrs. Guangning Hou said with a smile.

Princess Yongjun has a round face, the corners of her mouth are deep, she looks very gentle, and she is even more graceful and luxurious when she wears a gorgeous dress, and she smiled after hearing her words: "I happened to meet at the door, so I came together." ”

"Lady Guangning Hou won't be unwelcome to me and Mrs. Shen, right?" Mrs. An Qinghou joked with a smile.

"Mrs. Anqinghou said with a smile, it's just this ......" Mrs. Guangninghou looked at the handsome young man not far behind her, with some embarrassment and inquiry on her face.

Mrs. An Qinghou followed her gaze and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao insisted on sending me and my sister here, so I went home." ”

Song Xiao stepped forward with a smile and bowed to Mrs. Guangning Hou's Mansion and said, "Song Xiao has seen Mrs. Guangning Hou, and it has not been peaceful in Beijing recently, so I specially sent my aunt and sister to disturb Mrs. Guangning Hou." ”

"Song Gongzi is polite, I have always heard that Song Gongzi is known as the Spring Moon Prince, but now that I look at it, I really look like a talent." Mrs. Guangning Hou glanced at Song Xiao up and down, smiled and praised, and the ladies behind her bowed their heads.

"Let the lady see the smile." The corners of Song Xiao's mouth raised slightly, and then looked not far away, a group of girls looked over here, and it was not good to stay for a long time, so they said goodbye and left.

Mrs. Anqinghou naturally instructed a few words, and when he really left, several ladies had stepped forward to talk enthusiastically, and when they learned that Song Xiao had not yet decided to marry, their eyes became more and more eager, and Mrs. Guangning Hou was thoughtful.

Everyone sat down, and the two rows of small tables were full of people, and someone's eyes fell on a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old who was following Mrs. Guangning Marquis.

"Who is this?"

Mrs. Guangning Hou pulled the girl out with a smile, and introduced loudly: "This is my niece of my mother's family, the daughter of Yao's editor's family, and Sister Ting." ”

Yao Ruiting wore an autumn-colored dress, a cyan jade pressed the corners of the skirt, and a hairpin tassel was simply inserted on her head, and a hosta hairpin, which looked particularly plain among the brightly dressed girls.

She has a well-proportioned figure, and her face is also outstanding, especially there is a tear mole under the corner of her eye, which makes her more delicate and weak.

"Yao edited, but the Yao capital of the former Metropolitan Procuratorate?" A lady suddenly asked.

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Guangninghou's face was a little unsightly, and even Yao Ruiting's face turned a little whiter, and she lowered her head and pinched the corners of her clothes.

Speaking of this Yao Du matter, there are few ladies here who don't know, they are an official with six grades, but they have no choice but to drink two more glasses at the banquet, and talk about royal affairs, but they are disgusted by the emperor, and they have been demoted by two levels.

"I didn't know that Yao Bianxiu had such an outstanding young lady, but he was decided?" Mrs. An Qinghou broke the deadlock and asked with a smile.

When it came to family affairs, Yao Ruiting lowered her head shyly, said softly to return to the banquet at Miss's side, and ran away.

"It's an undecided family, she's also a pitiful, she was delayed by her father without a form, I'm an aunt, and I'm distressed when I see it, what a sensible and caring girl, I really treat her as a daughter, so I can't wait to take it and raise it." Mrs. Guangning Hou sighed and said, "I just don't know who will have this blessing to get her in the future." ”

Everyone was silent, and some people showed disdain, to be honest, Yao Ruiting has such a good look, a standard fox appearance, and it is a little unsightly to be a lady in the main room, not calm and decent.

"Speaking of which, General Zhenwei didn't marry either, right?" Mrs. Shen suddenly asked, and everyone's eyes also looked over, General Zhenwei is a second-grade official, and marrying is a second-grade fate, but few of those here are second-grade fate, and it is not to blame that they have this thought, and this chrysanthemum banquet, everyone knows, actually wants to choose a wife for Ning Guang.

"It's also me, who is a mother-in-law, who can't stand him." When Mrs. Guangning Hou heard this, she wiped the corners of her eyes that had nothing, and said: "I shouldn't have followed him a few years ago and set him up for marriage, who would have thought that he would be gone for five years, and now he is back and has gone to the battlefield again." At his age, other people's children are almost married, but he ...... I really can't stand him, and I can't stand his mother, hey. ”

"This child's family affairs are destined in the dark, and Mrs. Guangning Hou is not worried." Someone persuaded.

"That's right, I'm afraid of ......" Mrs. Guangning Hou stopped talking, and sighed: "I don't want anything else, just ask God to bless, he will return safely, ask for a satisfactory daughter-in-law, leave an incense, I am also worthy of the deceased eldest sister." ”

"That's right, although the children's family affairs and the parents' words must be seen by himself, General Zhenwei is extraordinary, but I don't know what kind of girl can get into his blue eyes." Mrs. Squire asked tentatively.

Everyone knows that the daughter of Mrs. Squire's family is twenty-eight years old and has not yet decided to marry, which is a temptation.

"I don't know that." Mrs. Guangning Hou smiled slightly, as if she thought of something, and laughed out loud.

"What did Mrs. Guangning Hou think of for fun? Why don't you tell us about it? Princess Yongjun asked with a smile.

"It's nothing, it's just that I remember what these kids played with when they were young." Mrs. Guangning Hou said with a smile: "At that time, they were still young together, and they played the bride game together, Brother Guang'er was the groom, and Sister Ting became the bride, and later Brother Guang'er also said that when they grow up, they will marry Sister Ting as their daughter-in-law!" ”

When everyone heard this, their faces were strange, and the smiles on the corners of their mouths were a little stiff, didn't they just say that you want Yao Ruiting to be your daughter-in-law?

Mrs. Anqing Marquis and Princess Yongjun glanced at each other, and they both shook their heads secretly, this Mrs. Guangning Marquis is too small, holding such a banquet, but she told everyone that her favorite daughter-in-law is her own niece, what do you mean by holding this chrysanthemum banquet?

"There is this one, they are cousins, and they have not decided to marry, and you like that girl, so just stay in the house for a long time." There was a lady who was familiar with Mrs. Guangning Hou, so she broke the embarrassment and said.

Mrs. Guangning Hou was about to speak, and Mrs. Anqinghou said: "Mrs. Li's words are not true, I heard that General Zhenwei has already made a marriage." ”

Yan is the king of the house, huh~
