Although Chen Danzhu fought and the emperor reprimanded the Xijing family, the city was not without human contacts.

It was the newcomers to Xijing who stopped to mingle, and the homes of the former Wudu families became lively again.

A villa is full of cars and horses, and brightly dressed men, women and children are invited into the front hall and back house, which is the annual lotus banquet of the Wu Duwang clan and clan.

He's villa has a lake, the lake is full of lotus flowers, and every year when it is in full bloom, a banquet is held, inviting relatives and friends of the Wu family to come and watch.

This year's lotus feast is still held from time to time, and the lotus flowers in the lake are still in full bloom, but everything else is different.

Wudu is no longer called Wudu, and the people who enjoy the scenery by the lake are different from last year, and there are many faces that have not appeared again - either they followed King Wu to Zhoudi before, or they have been expelled to Zhoudi recently.

People walking or sitting by the lake are not in the scenery.

"I thought I wouldn't be able to see it this year."

"I thought it wouldn't just be us, there would be new people."

Everyone is saying this kind of thing, and it can't be seen that the He family did not cause trouble and convicted and was expelled like the Cao family and others - there is such a good villa, and the newcomer is a powerful family from Xijing, and the two sides have already begun to communicate, but it was interrupted by a fight between the ladies.

The emperor scolded the girls of those families for being idle, and no one dared to come out to mingle anymore.

Thinking of this, some people were still a little uneasy even though they appeared at the banquet.

"Ladies and gentlemen, is it appropriate for us to have a banquet at this time?" One person said in a low voice, "The emperor scolded the families in Xijing for not caring about their children's play, and that was because of them, but should we also restrain ourselves?" It would be bad if it also caused trouble. ”

After all, those families were traveling with the families of Wudu, and when the incident happened that day, there were still two young ladies from Wudu - one of them went to the official mansion with him, and when he was about to meet the emperor, he was scared away.

Many people obviously have this thought in their hearts, and they look uneasy when they turn their heads and ears.

Sitting on the throne was the head of the He clan and snorted.

"It is in order that there will be no more disasters in the future, that we should be more frequent and close." He said, his eyes swept over the men sitting in the hall, some were old and some were young, but the people who could sit in front of him were all people who could take charge of things, "Those people from Xijing covet us, we should work together so that we don't get bullied." ”

This is also true, there are many people, and the people are united in strength, and the people sitting here understand this truth, but-

"I'm afraid that Your Majesty is going to bully us." One whispered.

The previous families were framed and convicted, all because the emperor decided that it was disrespectful at the beginning, and with the emperor's opening, the remaining cases were handled smoothly by the officials.

"Now that's been solved." He said to the head of the family, "Li County Shou - is the county guard here today?" ”

This was to ask the juniors around him, and the juniors said: "I took the post, but he refused to come because he was busy with official business, but Mrs. Li came with Miss Gongzi." ”

That's okay, and the head of the family nodded with satisfaction, and then said the previous words: "Li Junshou, a person who is bent on clinging to the imperial court, dares not to accept the case of our Wu Min, it can be seen that there is absolutely no problem, without the emperor's conviction, even if it is a family from the imperial court, we don't have to be afraid of them, they dare to bully us, we dare to fight back, everyone is the people of the Son of Heaven, who is afraid of whom." ”

But what if you can't beat it?

"Isn't there still Chen Danzhu!" He said to the head of the family, "Now that she is in power, we have to make friends with her, and let her know that we, the Wu people, respect her, and she naturally needs us to be strong, so she will naturally charge forward for us-" Speaking of this, he asked the juniors again, "Is Miss Danzhu here?" ”

This time, the junior's voice was a little quieter: "Miss Seven went to deliver the invitation in person, but Miss Danzhu didn't answer." ”

So no one came.

Whispers rang out from those present.

"What's going on with the Seven Girls?" He frowned at the head of the family, "It's not that you can speak well, you talk to this sister and sister all day long, why is Miss Danzhu so unsatisfied?" ”

The junior immediately said, "I'll teach her a lesson!" ”

The person next to him came to relieve the siege and smiled bitterly: "No wonder Miss Seven, our children went two or three times, and it cost ten sets of gold jewelry just to get the medicine, and they didn't even have the opportunity to sit down and say a word to Miss Danzhu." ”

Others also complained, they were bent on making friends, Chen Danzhu didn't want to open a medical hall, they cheered, but she really only sold medicine to collect money - really, there was no one in her eyes.

"It's not surprising that she has no one in her eyes." He smiled at the head of the family, "If she hadn't seen no one in her eyes, how could she have beaten those families in Xijing into disgrace?" Okay, even if she doesn't have us in her sights, she is still the same person as us, so we will climb her. ”

The men outside discussed big things, mentioning Chen Danzhu, and the ladies in the inner house said that their small things were inseparable from Chen Danzhu.

"In the past, I liked to go out, play around, and see my sisters." A young lady shook her fan, her face full of distress, "But now I have a headache when I hear my family urging me to go out." ”

The other lady leaned on her, also looking sad and weak: "Urging me to go out, I came back like a prisoner, asking me what I said, what did Miss Danzhu say, when Miss Danzhu didn't say anything, she still scolded me-"

This caused the girls sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake to complain: "Miss Danzhu, this person is really difficult to befriend. "Cheated me out of so much money, I didn't take that much money when I was so old."

But there were also a few people who didn't speak, leaning on the railing and seeming to concentrate on looking at the lotus flowers.

When everyone complains, if you don't speak, then you don't fit in, a girl looked at the people around her, smiled and asked, "Miss Li, your family is familiar with Miss Danzhu, she treats you differently, right?" ”

Miss Li, the daughter of Li Junshou, shook her head: "Our family is not familiar with her, but she is familiar with my father's official government." ”

The girls around laughed, and Miss Danzhu sued the official at every turn.

"She treats me no differently." Miss Li said.

"yes." The young lady who asked was happy, this is right, everyone said bad things about Miss Danzhu, "She is really unpopular." ”

Miss Li shook her head: "That's not true, I came to her to see a doctor, and the medicine is quite good." ”

Creak? See a doctor? Medicine? This topic—the ladies were stunned, well, they were indeed looking for Miss Danzhu in the name of seeing a doctor, but—here, you don't have to pretend, right?

This Miss Li, her father has long been attached to the imperial court, and he looks down on them.

The ladies didn't want to talk to her anymore, and one of the young ladies wanted to change the topic, so she suddenly sniffed the girl next to her: "Miss Qin Si, what kind of incense did you use, it's so fragrant." ”

It was also Miss Qin Si, who had been quiet and silent, with a shy expression: "I'm useless." ”

The girl was just going to change the topic, but she sniffed hard when she got closer, which was pleasant: "Liar, it smells so good, don't hide it by yourself if you have good things." ”

In the end, when the young ladies were most concerned about the fat powder hairpin ring, everyone gathered around, and sure enough, they smelled the faint fragrance on Miss Qin Si's body, if there was nothing but it was refreshing, so they all asked.

Miss Qin Si said helplessly: "I really haven't used incense recently, I always can't sleep well, I can't smell the fragrance, it's the fragrance of lotus flowers." ”

"It's not." The ladies flatly denied, "We don't have any on us." ”

Staring at Miss Qin Si again, everyone has been playing since childhood and is very familiar, but looking at someone, I found that Miss Qin Si is not only fragrant, but also pink and tender, and it can be broken by blowing-

"Your face." A young lady couldn't help asking, "It doesn't look like it can't sleep well." ”

Miss Qin Si stretched out her hand and pressed her face: "Yes, I didn't pay attention, but I can't tolerate mosquito bites in summer, as long as I bite, I will be red and swollen one by one, and there have been no mosquito bites in the past few days, so my face is good." ”

Not to mention mosquito bites, Miss Qin Si's face has been either red or pimple all year round, and it is the first time I have seen her show such a smooth face.

"What the hell are you using?" A young lady pulled her and shook her, "Don't hide it from us." ”

Miss Qin Si was dizzy from shaking, raised her hand to block it, and then also smelled the fragrance on her body, and suddenly said: "This fragrance, this is not incense - this is medicine." ”

Medicine? The ladies were puzzled.

"It's the medicine I bought from Miss Danzhu, one is eaten, one is rubbed, and the other is used for bathing, I have been in poor health recently, and I can't sleep well in the hot and stuffy, so I use these medicines, eat hawthorn pills, rub the ointment, and this fragrance is the fresh dew poured into the water during the bath." Miss Qin Si said, looking at everyone again, "You guys, isn't it useless?" ”

Misses, you look at me, I look at you, of course they don't need to, and they don't really go to the doctor.

Miss Li shook her fan to look at the swaying lotus flowers in the lake, so she didn't take the medicine, so why do you say that people are deceiving.
