On the eighth day of the second lunar month, the weather in early spring was cold with snow, and cotton-like edelweiss flowers were crowded and piled up on the branches of the trees, like a group of happy and naughty children climbing on the trees and refusing to come down.

The banquet had already been arranged, and the old lady who had not been out of the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard for a long time arrived very early today, and when the red glow stained the western sky, the banquet was probably full.

"Old lady, the Sun family is here." The mandarin duck beside the old lady whispered in a low voice, and the old lady and Qin Yunuan glanced at each other, and heard that the little maid at the door had already shouted their reputation.

Everyone was looking sideways, and the two ladies of the Sun family, who walked in from the corner gate Tingting, immediately became the focus of attention.

The Sun family has a very unique place, that is, the men of the Sun family are short-lived, and the longest is not more than thirty years old, so the Sun family has become a family where women are the masters of the house.

On business, the Sun family's water transport is all over Jinling, and along the canal all the way down, mastering a quarter of the water transport hub of Daqi, on reading, although the Sun family is short-lived, but the ancestors of the Sun family are famous scholars, and there are many talented poets, but probably because the Sun family is a woman in power, so although the Sun family is strong, the reputation and discourse power are far less prosperous than the four major families in the south of the Yangtze River, but its influence is really one of the first class of Daqi.

The Sun family has always had women who can't leave Jinling, unless they marry from afar like Princess Ning, this time, the four ladies of the Sun family came at once, which is enough to prove how much the Sun family attaches importance to the marriage between Sun Baozhen and Ning Wangfu.

The leader is the old lady of the Sun family, who is the same age as the old lady of Ning Wangfu, but she looks weaker than the old lady of Ning Wangfu, and her skinny appearance is also soft, and Mrs. Sun, who is supporting the old lady on the side, is different, she lost her husband at the age of twenty-four, and cooperated with the old lady to control the Sun family for 20 years.

The last woman with a slender figure and a veil must be Sun Baozhen, Qin Yunuan pretended to pick up the fish bones in the small gold saucer, and looked at the young woman who was about to become the head mother of King Ning's mansion with her spare eyes.

With a slender waist and hands, he looks like an elegant person who can only embroider in the boudoir and listen to the snow cooking tea, if it weren't for the cold frost to recognize, others would never associate this Sun Baozhen with the first female disciple of Kongming Mountain.

Sun Baozhen was also followed by a young boy, looking thin and weak, his skin was almost transparent milky white, as if he had never been in the sun, Sun Baozhen was tightly guarding the little boy beside him all the way, the little boy was afraid that it was the first time to see so many people, his eyes were timid, and he almost rubbed against Sun Baozhen's thighs all the way.

"Old Madam Sun, please take a seat." King Ning looked very solemn, and arranged the banquet for the Sun family in an orderly manner, and then he raised his palms to announce the official start of the banquet.

"Singing and dancing, up."

The sound of the piano flowed between the cups, Qin Yunuan poured a spoonful of delicious soup on the fish meat that had picked the thorns and pushed it in front of Leng Changxi, and then took out a chopstick fish meat and picked up the fish bones for Baochuan, who was sitting on the other side, but he didn't expect Baochuan to look at the fish that he thought was for himself into Leng Changxi's plate, and he sighed as a young man.

"What are you doing when you're young, you look like an old pedant," Qin Yunuan smiled shallowly, and said while picking up the fish bones, "Aren't you really stupid to be a scholar?" ”

Qin Baochuan touched his head, just sighed: "Where, I just thought that there is a saying among the people that I married a daughter-in-law and forgot my mother, and now it is used to describe my sister, but I married Langjun and forgot my brother;

。 ”

"Where." Qin Yunuan sneered, "Where did you learn this flamboyant skin now?" ”

The conversation between the two had fallen into Leng Changxi's ears word for word, and he naturally put the fish meat in his mouth, chewed it carefully as if it was delicious, and only glanced sideways at Qin Baochuan: "Married Lang Jun and forgot his brother?" Although the words are correct, but you actually understand such a simple truth, tsk, it seems that the art of war is not complete. ”

Despised by his idol brother-in-law, Young Master Qin expressed his frustration, he hung his head, and at this time, the eldest maid who was waiting beside Qin Baochuan came over to remind Qin Baochuan that it was time to review his homework, Qin Baochuan made a gesture towards King Ning and the old lady, and went back honestly.

"With such a good banquet, this young Young Master Qin can still hold his mind and study quietly, and he will definitely be a talent in the future." Old Madam Sun nodded in admiration, and said humbly, "We can't do it anymore, we're always so naughty." After speaking, the old lady glanced in the direction of the little boy of the Sun family, but she didn't even see a figure.

"What about people?" Old Madam Sun asked Sun Baozhen.

Sun Baozhen shook his head innocently: "He was still there when he fed him glutinous rice porridge just now, this is just a turn of effort." If you want to be in autumn, don't go to find the young master soon. A petite servant girl beside Sun Baozhen immediately took the order, and her hands and feet were light.

Qin Yunuan immediately made a look, and immediately after, the cold frost beside him immediately followed.

Outside the feast, a garden was so quiet that you could hear only the sound of snowmelt falling and the slight movement of the ice floes breaking on the surface of the pool.

Qin Baochuan wore a fox fur scarf that Qin Yunuan had made for him, and when he walked to the corner gate of this courtyard, he saw a small figure standing by the small pond, wearing a cyan cloak, and his snow-like skin seemed to be integrated with this snow scene.

Qin Baochuan remembered that this was the little boy he saw at the banquet, and he was the young master of the Sun family.

"Tan'er, what do you say he is doing standing there?" Qin Baochuan pointed to Sun Chengzhen's figure and said.

"The slave doesn't know." Tan'er said cautiously while inquiring, "But the slave still advises the young master not to get too close to this little young master, I'm afraid I'm going to get into trouble." ”

Qin Baochuan just waved his hand, he cautiously approached the little boy, I don't know why, he always felt that this little boy's body had a special smell that attracted him, like a butterfly obsessed with flowers, and a moth fluttering towards the candle flame.

At that moment, Qin Baochuan was even a little confused, and even lost himself.

"Young Master, be careful!" The detective behind him suddenly exclaimed, but he couldn't stop Qin Baochuan's foot from stepping on the ice floe, seeing that Qin Baochuan's left foot was empty, and the whole person was about to fall into the biting cold pool water, a purple figure swept over the lake, and with one hand, he dragged Qin Baochuan out of the lake.

"Young master, it's okay." Tan'er immediately greeted him, tears were about to come out, "Young master, what happened to you just now, the whole human root seems to have lost your soul, shouldn't this be, shouldn't it be evil." ”

Tan'er's eyes were terrified, after all, Qin Baochuan's strange performance just now made her too scared;

"Tan'er, don't say something you shouldn't say." Leng Shuang glanced at Tan'er coldly, and said softly to Qin Baochuan, "Okay, let's go back and rest first." ”

Qin Baochuan looked like he had just woken up from a dream, and when he learned from Tan'er's mouth that he had almost stepped into this deep and cold pool just now, he was even more afraid, and when he left, he only dared to look at Sun Chengzhen with his spare eyes, this little boy, it was really terrifying.

Leng Shuang glanced at Sun Chengzhen, who was indifferent from beginning to end, and quickly probed the little boy from the inside to the outside: "Your sister and grandmother are looking for you, don't run around." ”

The little boy looked at the rotting leaves in the pond without hearing it, and suddenly a sentence came out of his mouth: "It's strange that you adults asked me to come here, but you said that you were looking for me." With that, he went back in the direction of the feast without looking back.

At the banquet, it was the time when the atmosphere was at its most harmonious.

The old lady of Ning Wangfu smiled kindly: "I have long heard that the eldest girl of the Sun family plays a good kite, but I don't know if there is such a blessing to hear today." ”

"The old lady praised it falsely," Sun Baozhen smiled, looking generous, decent, dignified and graceful, this is exactly the temperament that the master mother of Ning Wangfu needs, "It's just that after a few years of rough study, if the old lady likes to listen, the younger generation is ugly, but the younger generation is best at a song "Qingping Le" from the plum blossom dance, it happens to be winter here, the plum blossom is the right time, the younger generation heard in Jinling that the three young grandmothers of Ning Wangfu are both talented and talented, but I don't know if there is such an honor to invite the three young grandmothers to dance. ”

Let Qin Yunuan dance?

For a while, people's voices of echo and approval were everywhere, after all, Qin Yunuan's reputation was really a little loud, everyone thought that this Pingjun Lord must be perfect, and those ladies who knew that Qin Yunuan had never danced were even happier, waiting to see Qin Yunuan's jokes.

Now, the situation is a bit difficult.

"It's inconvenient to be warm." Leng Changxi rejected Sun Baozhen very decisively, and did not give any face.

"Inconvenient?" Aunt Tang said in a weird manner, "Isn't this pregnant again?" So it's inconvenient. She knew about Qin Yunuan's "miscarriage", but she hadn't poked the thorn in people's hearts yet.

Leng Changxi didn't even look at Aunt Tang: "Isn't this a matter of time or time?" ”

"Since there is no inconvenience," Sun Baozhen made an inviting gesture at the right time, "Third young grandmother, please." ”

Qin Yunuan was still a little hesitant, but when he saw Leng Shuang coming back from the corner gate, he nodded towards Qin Yunuan, which was a code between the two.

"Okay, I may not have practiced for a long time because I can't dance well, and I ask Mrs. Sun and the old lady to take care of it." Qin Yu wanted to get up, but was pulled by Leng Changxi's cuffs.

"If you don't want to jump, don't force it, with me here, are you still afraid of her?" Leng Changxi said solemnly.

"I'm not afraid." Qin Yunuan smiled and shook her head at Leng Changxi, as long as Leng Changxi was by her side, she was not afraid of anything.

Dressed in a plain water-sleeved dance skirt, it set off Qin Yunuan's dusty temperament thoroughly, Sun Baozhen sat on the mat covered with brocade cushions next to her, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, her fingertips were raised, and the first note bounced out.
