The "enemy" in Xie Yinghui's mouth is a real enemy, not flirting with anyone.

In the past, she relied on the power of the Cao family and enjoyed honor in the circle of nobles in the capital, and not everyone bought it. There is a beloved daughter of the royal palace of the clan and the county lord, and she is not very harmonious with her. The other party is not only from a noble background, but also has eyes above the top, and the girls of the Cao family are still divided into three, six, nine and so on according to their concubines or side branches, only Cao Wenluan of the Chengenhou Mansion can see her squarely, and even Cao Wenfeng of the Pingnan Bo Mansion is not big in her eyes, let alone Xie Yinghui, the niece of her father's low official position.

For a period of time, Ping Nanbo and his wife intended to let their son hook up with a noble daughter of the clan, but if there was no suitable princess, they went to the county lord and the county lord to find it. At that time, the county lord was confused by Cao Wenheng's appearance, and he was a little moved, so it was very unpleasant to look at Xie Yinghui, a cousin who was quite close to Cao Wenheng, and he was not less vindictive in the open and in secret. It's just because Xie Yinghui was still a favored cousin in Pingnanbo Mansion at that time, and the county lord also had sensible elders around him, so the conflict between the two always stayed on the little girls' petty fights, and it never had a big impact. Later, after the county lord's county lord's mansion was snubbed and neglected by Ping Nanbo because he had no real power, her thoughts about Cao Wenheng were completely dispelled, but the old grudge with Xie Yinghui has never been resolved.

In the past, Xie Yinghui was not afraid of a county lord with no real power, but now it is not what it used to be, at the banquet hosted by the eldest princess of Yongning, she didn't want to have any unpleasantness with the eldest princess's cousin and niece, which was easy to involve the Xie family, and it was possible to attract the eldest princess's dissatisfaction with her. You know, she is still counting on the eldest princess to take a fancy to her brother and marry her beloved daughter Ma Yurong to the Xie family!

Therefore, as soon as Xie Yinghui found that the figure of the old enemy appeared at the intersection in front of her, she quickly pulled her sister and dodged it.

She quickly and briefly introduced the identity of the person who came, and Xie Mulin recalled a few past events from Xie Yingzhen's memory, and learned about the grievances and hatreds between the person and Xie Yinghui from the rumors she had heard in the past. To be honest, it was all a conflict between the two when they were in their early teens, and they were still children at the time. Now that both of them are in order, they can barely be regarded as adults in this era, will the other party continue to have a hostile attitude towards Xie Yinghui?

Of course, it's always right to be vigilant.

Xie Mulin honestly followed the eldest sister Xie Yinghui's side, and looked at the county lord and the two girls who were also dressed gorgeously, as well as several maids-in-law, chatting happily, and walked all the way along the edge of the pool, probably in the direction of the Water Pavilion. If things go well, they will soon leave in front of the Xie sisters. And the Xie sisters have the lake stone that is a long and wide lake, and it is very likely that they don't have to meet each other.

But how can there be such a smooth thing in the world? The nobles walked not far from the lake stone, looked in the direction of the water pavilion for a few times, and then stopped moving forward. Xie Mulin clearly heard the county lord who had a grudge against Xie Yinghui complaining to the cousins around him: "When I saw Aunt Yongning last time, I accidentally bumped into Ma Yurong because I had a few words with others, and Aunt Yongning scolded me!" I'm having a good time today, I don't want to see Aunt Yongning's face again. Let's stay away from her, don't go to the water pavilion to find scolding! ”

Another lady agreed: "I don't want to go either." Although Uncle Yan Wang looks kind, I have seen him lose his temper at people. A few years ago, when Uncle Yan Wang returned to Beijing, my brother and I went to greet him on the orders of my father. My brother just made an old mistake and made a little joke with the maid of Yan Wang's Mansion, and was scolded by Uncle Yan Wang! My brother was scared to death, and after returning to Beijing, he cried and said that he would never dare to see Uncle Yan Wang in the future, and I had nightmares for a few days! ”

There was also a third noble lady who smiled and said, "Uncle Yan Wang has been able to guard the northern border for many years and kill countless enemies, how can it be such a kind appearance that he shows on weekdays?" However, as long as we are honest and courteous, there is no reason for him to lose his temper with us? Your brother's reputation is too loud, I want to know what's going on, who told him to come to Yanwang's mansion? Isn't that self-inflicted? ”

The noble lady in front of her turned pale when she heard this, and turned her head unhappily to ignore the person.

The county lord who had a grudge against Xie Yinghui played a round: "Don't quarrel, it's a trivial matter, why hurt the relationship between our sisters?" I think it's a very nice day and the pool is clean, so why don't we ask someone to bring fishing tackle and catch a few fish to play? ”

The other two nobles were a little interested, and reluctantly smiled: "It sounds interesting, so let's fish here." I see that this place is sheltered from the wind, and it is quiet, and there is a pavilion next to it to rest, which is a good place. ”

The attendants around the noble ladies immediately began to get busy, and they all moved things in the direction of the nearby octagonal pavilion, as if they really planned to use the pavilion as a base and let the three little masters start fishing for fun.

This is a big deal for the Xie sisters who are hiding behind the lake rocks. Xie Yinghui gritted her teeth and said: "I knew that as soon as this enemy appeared, he would never let me go along with it!" They are blocking the front, telling us how to get through?! If you see me, you don't know how that girl will make things difficult! ”

Xie Mulin looked at the octagonal pavilion and found that although it was a little far away from them, it was also a visible distance. If they wanted to go to find Ma Yurong and Lu Feiyun, they would not be able to avoid those nobles no matter what. She looked back at the flower beds and bushes behind her: "There seems to be a path here, right?" Do you remember where it leads? Xie Yingzhen doesn't have many opportunities to play in the garden, and she is far less familiar with Guiyuan than Xie Yinghui. Although I have been here a lot for the past few days, I really don't know about the trails.

Xie Yinghui thought for a while: "There is a flower garden behind here, and there is a conservatory in the past, where some precious flowers such as peonies and orchids were planted in the past, but ......" she paused, "Since the raid on the house, the florist who originally worked here has left, so there are no more famous flowers in this place, only some ordinary flowers and trees, which is better than nothing." "The florist couple who was responsible for taking care of the famous flowers and plants followed Cao Shuqing back to Pingnanbo's Mansion, and now I don't know whether they went to Chengenhou's Mansion or went elsewhere.

Although there are no famous flowers, the greenhouse flower garden is also a small landscape. Xie Yinghui remembered that Cai Laotian seemed to have made a place where he could drink tea and play chess, and then paved a few paths with gravel slabs.

She immediately decided, "Let's go this way." Although the other end of the conservatory is a little more remote, it seems that there is a path leading to other places. Let's take a detour, and we can also find Yurong and them! ”

Xie Mulin handed it all over to her: "The eldest sister is familiar with the terrain, and the younger sister will listen to your command." ”

Xie Yinghui smiled and nodded, then looked back and glared at the unaware old enemy in the distance, then slowed down, led her sister to bend down, and quickly walked towards the greenhouse at the end of the path that faintly exposed the corner of the eaves by the cover of the surrounding flowers and trees.

When the two sisters were completely out of the sight of several noble ladies and could not see the shadow of the pool at all, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Mulin smiled: "It's weird and interesting, after today's banquet, this garden will be cleaned up again, let's just pick a day, everyone will come over and have fun, right?" Otherwise, we have such a big garden, but we can only let outsiders play, wouldn't it be a great loss for us? ”

Xie Yinghui also smiled: "Okay, I haven't been here for a long time, and I think it's weird." As he spoke, he wanted to take a few glances in the conservatory, but suddenly stopped. Xie Mulin was a step behind, only to see her staring ahead in a daze.

A beautifully dressed girl stood in the conservatory and looked back at them in surprise.
