The British duchess obviously didn't want to indulge Mingyi any longer, so she smiled and said, "You guys are free to go and play." Sister Xi and Sister Yan want to entertain guests. ”

Then the ladies took their leave.

When everyone was gone, the British duchess dismissed the servants in the house, leaving only the mother to speak.

"What do you think of that girl from the Huang family?" The British Duchess asked with a smile.

When Mother Chu saw the British Duchess's intimate tone, she knew that she was satisfied, so she replied along the way: "A little girl who looks like flowers and bones, and behaves appropriately, generous and dignified, which makes people like it at first sight." ”

The British Duchess nodded with a smile and said, "Originally, Sister Xi always praised her for being smart and quiet, but I only thought that I was a child who had the right temper, so I liked to exaggerate. I saw it today, but I felt that it made a lot of sense. ”

Neither let others take it, nor blindly be strong; Never retreat when it's time to advance, and never fall in love with war when it's time to retreat.

What's even more rare is that the child seems to have guessed her intentional or unintentional connivance with Sister Yan'er, so he took it calmly and waited for her to make a move.

The more the British duchess thought about it, the more satisfied she became.

"Miss has always been very accurate." Chu's mother replied with a smile.

The British duchess nodded, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "That's a good thing, Sister Xi follow me!" ”

Mother Chu couldn't help laughing and flattered: "Madame is naturally very accurate in looking at people, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to pick up Grandpa Guo alone among so many people who came to ask for relatives." ”

The British duchess remembered the past, couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, and said with a reminiscence: "Yes." At the beginning, everyone said that he was a gentleman, unlearned, and some even speculated that the foundation of the British government would fail in his hands.

"But who knew that he inherited the knighthood, went to the battlefield, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and became a god of war who terrified the enemy.

"During the reign of Emperor Sejong, Ouyang Jing was impeached one after another in the matter of the Shen Bing Section, involving a total of nine people, including the old man and the general soldiers of Shanxi and Zhejiang, and the other eight were deposed afterwards, and only the old man was unharmed. Since then, the officials who have always been afraid that the world will not be chaotic and the rumors are heard, they no longer dare to touch him casually. ”

Mother Chu replied with a smile: "This is all Emperor Sejong's nostalgia, and thanks to his wife's multi-faceted planning, he planned for Grandpa Guo!" ”

The grandfather of the country is invincible and invincible, which makes the enemy fearful, but he can't help but have a little recklessness and anxiety of the generals, and he always wants to use his fists when he encounters the officials.

Thanks to the lady who stopped her, and privately entered the palace to beg the queen mother, thanks to the ancestral inheritance, this pass can be regarded as safe.

The British Duchess nodded and said with a smile: "A few children followed me with Shizi and Sister Xi, and the others all had the same temper as his father." It's that Brother Lan's biological mother went early and raised her by my side, but she also has the same temperament as Grandpa Guo! ”

Mother Chu smiled: "That's why the lady tried her best to find a calm and clever wife for the little master, so that she could help him in the future." ”

The British duchess nodded and sighed: "Pity the hearts of parents in the world." It's Brother Chi, and I have to find such a daughter-in-law in the future! ”

When Mother Chu heard this, her expression changed slightly, and her smile became a little reluctant.

Although Miss Cousin has a gentle and easy-going temperament, she is a little less calm and alert, I wonder if Mrs. will object to her and the third young master's family affair at that time......

The British duchess didn't notice the abnormality of Chu's mother, and ordered: "The Huang family, someone should inquire carefully, and if there is no problem, send someone to the door to find out the wind first." The little girl is only thirteen years old, so she will quietly settle the family affairs first, and it will not be too late to officially discuss the marriage after she is married. ”

As he spoke, when he opened Huang Yi'an's salute, it was a pair of foreheads embroidered with treasure flowers, with good texture and dense stitches, which showed that he had used his heart.

The British duchess smiled: "Look, what a good gift it is!" ”

is not a swollen face and a fat man, but also sincere, so that people can't find faults.

……

Huang Yi'an naturally didn't know anything about the British duchess's plans, and now she was walking around the garden with the young ladies, led by Zhang Xi and Ming Yan.

As the founding merit of the British Mansion, it has lasted for more than 200 years, and the house has naturally expanded again and again, with three roads in the east and west, almost occupying the entire alley, so the back garden is also very beautiful and spacious. Stacked stones are mountains, canals are pools, flowers and trees are planted, pavilions are exquisite, and under the shade of rockery and bamboo trees, one step at a time, people are overwhelmed.

Midsummer is coming, the cicadas among the verdant flowers and trees are gradually rising, and there are more warblers chirping, walking slowly, not only cool, but also quite wild.

Although Ming Yi dislikes Huang Yi'an, but with Chu's mother's warning, he also wants to be a gentle and generous master in front of the young ladies of all families, so he never deliberately embarrassed her, and occasionally sneered a few words, but Huang Yi'an was unhurriedly blocked back.

In front of outsiders, Zhang Xi had a bad seizure, so he used the excuse to separate the two.

"The best pastime in this season is boating, the pond shore is verdant, the pond is breezy, and it coincides with the early bloom of the lotus in the lake. Zhang Xi smiled, "What do you think?" ”

Everyone laughed and said yes.

Ming Yan got up and said with a smile: "Everyone, please wait a while, I will go and order." ”

This move was expected by Zhang Chi.

Ming Yi never hesitated to show her gentleness and thoughtfulness in front of others, as well as her unique position in the Guogong Mansion.

Zhang Xi then smiled and said, "Then there is Sister Lao." ”

"I'll go with my sister." Zheng Yuyan, who had been with Mingyan all the time, got up and chased after him with a smile.

Ming Yan stopped and waited for her to follow, and the two of them walked away hand in hand.

Huang Yi'an's eyes followed, and his expression was indistinguishable.

Zhang Xi saw that Huang Yi'an was absent along the way, and at this time he stared at Ming Yan's back, thinking that she was embarrassed by Ming Yi one after another, so he was very sorry in his heart.

"Sister An, I'm really sorry, next time I'll invite you to come to the house to play." Zhang Xi took advantage of the others to tease the bird under the porch and apologized in a low voice.

Huang Yi'an retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Sister Zhang doesn't have to care. ”

She didn't take Ming Yan's words to heart to provoke her, and what upset her was the Zheng family, who had been clinging to Ming Yan, who was now only twelve years old.

is different from the high-minded and domineering imperial concubine in her previous life, Zheng Yuyan at this time is innocent and easy-going, even in the face of the daughter of a nine-rank civil official like her, she is also close, innocent and harmless.

The thorns that made her erect all over her body couldn't find a place to prick.

The two were bowing their heads and whispering, Miss Shen walked over slowly, and smiled at Zhang Xi as she walked: "I have long heard that the early lotus of the Guogong Mansion is in excellent condition, the leaves are jade, the flowers are like crystals, the morning blooms and the twilight is beautiful, just like Wen Feiqing's cloud 'should be a sock for the Roselle wave, and the lotus stamen has fragrant dust so far'." Today we can finally feast our eyes. ”

Zhang Xi greeted him with a smile and quipped: "It's still Sister Shen's talent for the world, I only think they are beautiful on weekdays, but I can't think of such a long poem." Today, our family's early lotus is stained with Sister Shen's literary atmosphere, and it must be more beautiful and dusty in the future. ”

Miss Shen blushed slightly, raised her hand to pounce on Zhang Xi with a fan, and joked: "Sister Zhang's mouth is really more beautiful than a lark." ”

Zhang Xi smiled and dodged.

Two people in one place.

The others all laughed when they saw this, and the atmosphere was suddenly much lighter and more lively.

Ming Yan and Zheng Yuyan returned arm in arm, and when they saw everyone laughing, they had to ask the reason. After learning the inside story, they all smiled and flattered Miss Shen.

Miss Shen's cheeks turned crimson.

Fortunately, the boat lady came to invite soon, and Miss Shen "got out of trouble".
