The second young master Li Rong had a warm face, wearing dark green clothes, and a jade pendant with a red tassel around his waist, and walked over to greet Li Jingming enthusiastically.

Li Rong was originally the concubine of the big house, and the third girl Li Yuan was born by Aunt Zhao, and later because of the illness of the eldest young master Li Tan, he was recorded in the name of the eldest wife Zheng, and he was regarded as half a son-in-law.

Li Jingming nodded lightly, then went to sit in his seat, and when he met the fourth young master Li Bo, he politely greeted him and got a polite response.

The atmosphere in the flower hall gradually returned to normal.

The old lady smiled and said a few words with her grandchildren, and then asked people to move flowers and plants in for everyone to enjoy, and let everyone compose poems on this theme to make a lively picture.

The children of large families have to read and write since they were young, and it is naturally difficult for them to compose poems.

Wait for the flower hall to open all the doors, all kinds of flowers and plants will be carried into the flower hall like flowing water, the breeze is light, the pie is very rich, the maid on duty also carried a few long tables in, which put pen, ink, paper and other utensils.

As soon as the things were placed, the second wife, Zhou's first-class maid, Linlang, walked into the flower hall and told the old lady: "The eldest princess of Duanyang passed by the Guogong Mansion and wanted to bring the female relatives of the family to meet the old lady, and the second wife was entertaining guests in front. ”

When Li Jingming heard this, the corners of his mouth smiled clearly.

No wonder the old lady was so anxious to buy flowers and plants and come back for a flower appreciation banquet, it turned out that the second lady was in a hurry to give her baby son Li Bin a blind date, and pulled all the other grandsons to be a foil.

There are seven young masters in the Guogong Mansion, the second and fourth young masters have all married wives, the third young master Li Jingming has not married a wife because of his reputation, and the fifth, sixth, and seventh young masters are of the same age, and they have all reached the age of wanting to say goodbye.

Although the eldest princess of Duanyang is the younger sister of today's saint, because the biological mother relationship between the two is relatively opposite, she is on par with the Guogong Mansion in terms of holy grace.

At the moment, it seems that the old lady and the second wife have taken a fancy to the girls of the eldest princess of Duanyang.

"It's a coincidence, go and invite it." The old lady calmly smiled and ordered, and then said to the juniors: "In front of me, you don't have to restrain anything. ”

Although the Great Qin Dynasty paid attention to the general defense of men and women, the rules were much more relaxed than those of the previous dynasty, and men and women met under the noses of their elders, and they would not fall into the hands of others.

After a while, the second wife brought the eldest princess of Duanyang and her two daughters and two nieces, and the two families met the courtesy, said a few kind words, and sat down.

The second lady took Fang Cai's words with interest and asked, "Old lady, is there a long table here to write and paint?" ”

The old lady sang and harmonized with the second wife: "As I was talking, I wanted the young masters and girls to compose a poem, write a word, paint a picture, and ask for a colorful head to play." ”

The second lady smiled again: "What color did the old lady prepare?" Don't be stingy! ”

The old lady asked the tray to be taken out, and saw a dazzling jade stone and a crystal clear jade bracelet on the red silk cloth.

"Flower appreciation is an elegant thing, the old grandfather left this piece of jade for a long time and was reluctant to carve it, so he simply took it to his grandchildren, and took this bracelet to the girls to wear."

The fourth young master, Li Bo, pointed to the tray and laughed: "Grandmother, you are partial, I have been looking for you for this piece of jade for a long time, but you have not let go of my mouth, but I am willing to give it today." ”

On this occasion today, no one with a discerning eye will steal the limelight with the Seventh Young Master, and the other grandchildren dare not beak, only the Fourth Young Master is raised by the old lady, and he is the original concubine, who is even more noble than the seventh young master, the step-sister-in-law, and dares to ridicule directly.

The old lady doted on him with her hand, and said with a smile: "You monkey, this is something that concerns me, don't worry, grandmother's things will be yours in the future." ”

The fourth young master got what he wanted, so he touched his nose and retreated, he had been with the old lady for many years, and he knew too well where the line of the old lady's pampering was.

If he has the courage to rob Lao Qiming today and make trouble on the occasion of the princess's mansion and the Guogong mansion, not only will he offend the second wife, but even the old lady will think that he doesn't know the general situation, and what will others say about him!

When the second wife heard this, she immediately covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief in embarrassment, and said secretly in her heart: How did this old man, in front of outsiders, face the fourth child, where is her face?

She hurriedly laughed and diverted the topic: "Old lady, why have you never seen this bracelet wear it?" ”

The old lady raised her eyebrows slightly, and explained with a smile: "This bracelet is something I wore when I got married, and now that I am old, it is not suitable to carry it, so leave it for the girls." ”

The corners of Duanyang's eldest princess curled up at the corners of her mouth, and she was very pleased with the importance of the old lady, when the old prince married his wife, even the queen mother sent the grandmother around her to give her a marriage, and this jade bracelet also had more dignity!

"What is today's theme, I have to draw up a topic, old lady."

The old lady thought for a moment and said to the eldest princess of Duanyang: "It's better to take peony as the theme, the girls write poems, and the young masters paint." ”
