Spring, summer, autumn, winter, and the beginning of summer, all things flourish.

At the beginning of summer, there are also festival events such as tasting new ones. The capital has introduced Suzhou's proverb of "seeing the three new in the beginning of summer", which is cherry, green plum and wheat, which is used to worship the ancestors, adding a lot of fun and fun to the dull days in the past year.

Some time ago, His Majesty led hundreds of civil and military officials to the Diantan Square in the southern suburbs of the capital to welcome the summer, and held a grand ceremony to welcome the summer. On that day, the monarchs and ministers all wore vermilion dresses, with vermilion jade pendants, and even horses and chariot flags were vermilion, in order to express their prayers for a good harvest and good wishes.

In the court, "the summer day is opened, and the minister of civil and military affairs is given". The ice was stored in the previous winter and given to the officials by the emperor.

On this day, the 70th birthday of the prince of the Zhongxin Marquis Mansion handed over the post and invited some nobles from the capital to come to the birthday banquet.

The red tooth sandalwood board sounded, and a stage was set up outside the pavilion, and the beat of the music was played gently.

In the courtyard, it is obvious that someone started to throw the pot, the men take turns, and occasionally a few women with outstanding skills come out on top, but the feng shui takes turns, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, the important thing is that because of the game, there is an intersection, and you can smoothly say two sentences, and you have never seen friends of the right age to enhance friendship, if you have the same temperament, you will directly pull aside to make an appointment to visit each other next time.

The people sitting in the hall were all young women, who did not go to the front with the old marquis and the old lady to listen to the play, and looked at the door as if they were nothing.

Song Zhixi went in and walked to the chair of the master in the hall, "Uncle, is there something wrong with calling me?" ”

The Prime Minister's wife, Cao Shi, took Song Zhixi with a smile and gently pushed her, "Go, I've seen Princess Yu." ”

Song Zhixi saw that there was a graceful and beautiful woman sitting on the right hand side of the main seat, and looked at her.

Princess? It's the princess who bumped into her pretending to be a maid that day!

It turned out to be Princess Yu, huh? Yuwangfu?

Song Zhixi gasped, it was really a coincidence, wouldn't it be the king of Hengchuan County...... Mother?

Can she ...... I recognized her, and at the moment, my aunt and so many ladies were still there...... I'm afraid it's not convenient to take a soft face and admit your mistakes......

Alas, if she deliberately made it difficult for her to get angry, it would be embarrassing and unbearable, and it was indeed a misunderstanding she provoked......

"What are you doing standing stupidly and stunned, hearing your aunt mention you and say that you are a rare good child, don't you just come and take a look, but you are shocked?" Princess Yu called softly.

"Zhixi is happy, it is a blessing for Zhixi to be mentioned by the princess, I have seen Princess Yu, and I have seen all the ladies." Song Zhixi made a perfect salute, his movements were smooth and smooth, his face was not shocked, and there was no pretentiousness like a little woman rumored outside.

Song Zhixi stepped forward happily, since he came to see me, no matter what he looked at first, it was impatient to twist and pinch.

"Why didn't your father come?" The princess seemed to ask casually, but the ladies were surprised.

Song Zhixi was quite surprised, this was given to her as a daughter, but it was really difficult to accept it, so she apologized and smiled smartly, "Father unfortunately got official business today, so I asked Zhixi to bring a birthday gift, and came to celebrate his birthday with his aunt, and also instructed Zhixi to personally explain the reason to Mrs. Hou when he got the opportunity." ”

She is a female dependent, of course, she will not say anything to find the Hou Ye or the old Hou Ye to explain in person.

"I see, don't worry, I'll be able to talk to you later......"

Princess Yu smiled and pulled her hand, and her left hand was about to put down the tea cup on the table, but she didn't stabilize it, and accidentally shook it, and the tea splashed half of Song Zhixi's cuffs.

Princess Yu hurriedly lifted Song Zhixi's sleeve to check her injury, turned her arm as if inadvertently facing everyone, and a drop of cinnabar on her elbow flickered, giving the sharp-eyed women present a clear look.

The silence, the sound of the tea lid colliding, the sound of the bracelet swaying, almost audible.

Although the atmosphere of the scene looks natural as usual, how many pairs of eyes are paying attention to this side.

"Princess Yu, the tea is not hot, Zhixi is not hindered......"

The tea is not hot at all, and Princess Yu has been serving it for so long, looking at the way she drinks tea, how can it be like the temperature is high......

Princess Yu hurriedly put down the woman's sleeves, and by the way, helped her twist the corners to make it compliant, "That's good, it's the concubine's negligence." ”

Seeing that it was almost over, Princess Yu patted the back of her hand and smiled dotingly, "Don't restrain you, go ahead." ”

The hall returned to its previous atmosphere with the girl's departure.

"Have you seen it clearly?"

Princess Yu glanced at the ladies lightly.

The ladies nodded in relief, a few were slapped in the face and their faces were stretched, and some raised their wide sleeves and held their teacups to hide their embarrassment.

Mrs. Cao and Princess Yu exchanged a look and nodded secretly.

……

"The southeast gold powder is decorated with Qingxian, the sandalwood plate is clear and the bottle plays the orchestra, Brother Cen is here to copy, so Yaxing."

The scattered tables were scattered with relatives and friends.

Song Zhixi came with her aunt and nephew, and after her aunt took her to meet the elders of the Hou Mansion and other families, she followed the ancestors of the Hou Mansion to the stage and sat down, thinking that the girl's family might not be able to listen to the play, and she did not restrain her, so she let her go to find leisure by herself.

Song Zhixi randomly picked a small round table against the pillar, which was an inconspicuous position, she sat on the octagonal stool next to the raised gauze curtain, twisting the small peach cake that had been set on the table for a long time to eat, not knowing that the hall she had just left was now playing in the round field.

Nothing should notice her at this time, a sense of presence or something...... It's better to keep a low profile, just now in front of Mrs. Hou and the elders, she is still very obedient, she is simply a gentle and dignified little lady, she has a good impression, but it is a good way to go in the future, I can't say, I don't even need to get married in the future.

Dad, do you know how much your daughter worries about you, hiss~ It's so touching.

As a guest, you have to really treat yourself as a guest, so that the host can see it well, and the more you enjoy it, the more you respect the host's family.

She wants to live a good life, so naturally she doesn't want to be involved too much.

This is Song Zhixi's consistent experience and rule.

"Yun Yang, you are really not qualified in this life, you don't even know your own relatives, when the time comes, don't panic because your father brought you to pick up your relatives."

"Don't mention it, in fact, I really haven't seen the daughter of Imperial Doctor Feng's family, and I don't know when our two families got so close."

"Alas, isn't Miss Feng close to the girl from the Song Mansion, why don't you go and ask her."

"What's the fuss."

"Which one?"

"Well, the one over there leaning against the pillar seems to be that."

Song Zhixi licked the crumbs from the corners of her mouth, still listening to gossip, and several eyes glanced at her in unison, she didn't have time to avoid the autumn breeze, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a familiar figure.

The man was also stunned when he saw her, as if he remembered some not-so-good scene, and then he looked embarrassed and embarrassed, and smiled very reluctantly.

Song Zhixi recognized that person, the man called Yun Yang, wasn't he the son of the world who was splashed with water by her flying cup by mistake that day?

He actually wants to marry Feng Zheng?

Song Zhixi smiled back apologetically, thinking of all the things that day, he almost didn't offend indirectly, and he didn't see her and looked unhappy enough to give her face.

With the dry peach cake, she has already filled half of her stomach with water,

It happened that it was not convenient to stay long, so she got up and saluted a little, and then turned and walked towards the outer courtyard.

"Hey, little girl!" Song Zhixi grabbed a girl, blinked closer, lowered his voice and was about to speak.

"Is there a clean room near the Hou Mansion?"

The girl understood and replied with a smile, "Is the girl in a hurry?" It's in the front courtyard, in the guest room next to the ear room, the guest room is empty, the girl can rest assured, "Looking at the brocade box that Mrs. Hou ordered to take to the front hall, the girl looked embarrassed, "Naturally, there is a maid to take you closer, and I ...... this plate of things."

"It's okay, you can go, don't delay anything, I know."

"Hey, the girl is on her own." The girl smiled happily and turned away.

Song Zhixi turned back and forth, walked around the eighteen bends of the circuit, and was stunned that he didn't find a girl to guide the way, it seems that this courtyard is really deserted......

Song Zhixi frowned, why didn't I know that I was actually a road idiot?

Passing through a corner, her ears moved, and there was the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, and she was wondering if there was finally someone, and she heard it

A whisper came from her, and she paused and took a few steps to the side.

"Brother Junwang?"

The man was stunned, paused and turned around, waiting to recognize the person, after a period of silence, he spoke gently, "Miss Xiahou, how is Brother Zun recently?" ”

Miss Xiahou? Is it the new girl in the capital who is delicate and beautiful? This murmuring voice gave her goosebumps.

"Since Yizhou, Jue'er has been in a trance for many days, and now she finally has to see each other again, which can be regarded as reassuring...... Brother Title, Recently...... Don't come unharmed. ”

Song Zhixi thought of Yizhou's water control, and couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly. The king of Hengchuan County is really not simple, go to a holy decree, and you can also get a romantic affair, and the two hearts promise each other......

The man didn't seem to expect such a hot word to come suddenly, he couldn't help but dislike it in his heart, and replied politely, "Although I had some friendship with Xiahou Gongzi during the time of Yizhou's water control, I am not enough to call me a brother and a brother, you are a sister, don't understand?" ”

The tone and complexion of the He title were as warm as the morning sun, but the meaning of the words was extremely detached.

"Title...... The king of the county is not strange, Jue'er is abrupt, Jue'er will remember, and he will definitely not cause gossip and trouble to the king of the county......"

Song Zhixi eavesdropped on the corner: Heh, you are mistaken, if he is afraid of gossip and other troubles...... I guess I can ask someone to throw you out and tell you to roll up and leave!

"Slow down, don't go ...... yet"

But I don't want to hear it anymore, I'm still waiting to find ......

"I still have something to do, so it's inconvenient to accompany me." He changed his path and left.

Song Zhixi didn't wait, and simply walked over with one step.

"Who!" The woman was shocked, and hurriedly looked over, and when she saw this person's appearance, she was stunned at first, remembering her brother's unintentional mention and entrustment in the letter before, and she immediately smiled.

Oh, a shameless woman who recommends herself as a pillow, pestering her brother, also deserves it?

Which one of the broken mouths leaked the news, and even let her find it.

"Isn't that the girl from the Song Mansion? Looking at it this way, it's really fresh and refined. ”

"Do you recognize me?"

"Yes, I've heard several sisters talk about you, why did you come here after hearing some rumors, and do you want to pester my brother? Although Jue'er is soft-spoken, please don't trouble him, okay? ”

"Speaking of people, don't think I can't see your fancy intestines, I don't think you're really a soft rabbit."

Break the power in one second.

"Heh, I said, Song Zhixi, in the end, it is difficult to change in nature, some people are born noble, not something that a vulgar woman like you can think. Can you think of doing that kind of thing...... You haven't seen less of glamorous pictures, right? Ha, it's not like I don't look at you. ”

Song Zhixi didn't have any time to argue, he walked around her sideways and smiled brightly at her, threw down a sentence and hurriedly ran away.

"According to you, you don't even see that kind of situation...... I'm afraid it's not going to work. ”

！

"You! Shameless! Xiahou Jue saw that there was no figure anymore, and he didn't dare to shout out loud, and his face turned red with shame at that time.

A maid came running, saw the girl's unusual look, lowered her head and reminded her.

It almost made her lose her proportion.

The girl sighed secretly, this girl from the Song family is really not a mortal, just for a while, what did she do, so that the girl who has always been shrewd and dignified almost couldn't stand it......

That girl was bought by Xiahou Jue from Goolan Courtyard before, and she did a lot of things for her Xiahou Jue as an eyeliner, and she was a bold and thoughtful person.

She listened to the girl whisper a few words in her ear, and at first her eyes were slightly startled, and then she raised her lips and chuckled.

Look at her guarding the palace sand?

In the future, it is of course more convenient to prove innocence, and it saves these troubles......
