Chapter 117: Going to the Feast
Mrs. Cheng is about 30 years old, with a silver face, a slightly dark complexion, and a smile when she sees people, and she is quite a kind person.
Ready to go out, Mrs. Cheng and Yuheng took the same car.
"People say that one side of the water and soil raises one side, this girl from the capital, her skin is good, she looks at the water and the water, our children are also your age, and they are much older than you."
Yuheng smiled, although what Mrs. Cheng said was a compliment, but her tone was sincere, and there was no perfunctory attitude at all, but she was a wonderful person.
"I don't know how old Ling Ai is this year?"
Mrs. Cheng answered a little melancholy, "Our family Yin'er is also fifteen years old this year, and this family matter has not yet been settled." ”
"Over the years, I have also looked for a few young talents, but I didn't expect all of them to be yellow, what do you say is this."
Speaking of the eldest daughter Cheng Yin'er, Mrs. Cheng is obviously much more relaxed and natural.
"It's the same age as me, marriage is destined, fate is so bad that I am afraid that I can't stop it from being an elder, Mrs. Cheng doesn't have to worry, just let it be."
"Isn't it, while worrying that she won't be able to get married, and on the other hand, she is reluctant to marry someone else's family to suffer, it's really a contradiction to be a parent."
Mrs. Cheng's voice changed, "Wu Shuai's palm pearl is sixteen years old this year, and there is no Xu family yet, I don't know what Mrs. Wu thinks." ”
"You're talking about Wu Lianying?"
Yu Heng hooked his lips and smiled slightly.
"yes, I heard you've seen it already."
"We've met a few times before."
Mrs. Cheng paused, but still spoke, "Mrs. Lin, since General Lin has asked me to take care of it, I will say more, don't mind what you say badly, just let it blow and disperse." ”
"Mrs. Cheng, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Caiyue served the brewed tea and put it on a small table.
Yuheng raised his hand and poured a cup of tea, rolled up his sleeves and put it in front of Mrs. Cheng.
"You may not know when you first came, although the eldest lady of the Wu family is a concubine, but the three men of the Wu Mansion have such a daughter, and Miss Wu's biological mother is Wu Shuai's favorite concubine, so Miss Wu is very popular with Wu Shuai, and even Mrs. Wu loves Miss Wu.
General Lin Xiao just emerged in the Xining Army, and was taken by Miss Wu, probably because of some rumors, Wu Shuai did not immediately call the shots for Miss Wu.
Who would have thought that His Majesty would directly give marriage, and the Wu Mansion was caught off guard, today's lotus feast, the sister herself should pay more attention, and the next person must not leave. ”
"Thank you, sister-in-law, for telling me."
Yu Heng smiled, twisted a piece of walnut cake and put it in his mouth, "I don't know what kind of person Mrs. Wu is?" ”
"She."
Mrs. Cheng took a sip of tea, and then said, "Mrs. Wu was born in the Liang family in Shuzhong, the Liang family is a famous local Shu Jin businessman, she ignored the opposition of her family before General Wu made a career, and followed General Wu wholeheartedly, she is a very far-sighted and generous woman. ”
Yu Heng pursed his lips and nodded, and the small walnut crisp filled with white porcelain plates was pushed in front of Mrs. Cheng, "This is the walnut crisp made by the chef at home, Mrs. Cheng try it." ”
The carriage stopped at the gate of the magnificent Wu Mansion, Yuheng got out of the carriage, and the people of the Wu Mansion stepped forward to guide the coachman to lead the carriage elsewhere.
"Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Cheng, please come here."
The well-dressed mother-in-law had sharp eyes, saw the carriage of the Lin Mansion, and quickly greeted her.
Through the carved eaves, a few doors twisted and turned, and finally came to the flower hall.
"Yo, this is General Lin Xiao's new wife, it's really better to be famous, it's worthy of being a lady in Beijing, and her bearing is not ordinary."
Yu Heng looked up and saw a white-faced woman in her forties, dressed luxuriously, walking towards her with a smile on her face.
"This is Mrs. Wu."
Mrs. Cheng reminded her softly.
Yu Heng pursed his lips and smiled, "I've seen Mrs. Wu." ”
"Come on in."
Yuheng and Mrs. Cheng walked into the flower hall hand in hand, and the flower hall was suddenly so quiet, and then a voice said slightly abruptly, "I should be a distinguished guest from the door, Sister Lao Wu went out to greet her, it turned out to be General Lin Xiao's wife." ”
"Talkative, Mrs. Lin is from Shou'an Hou Mansion, raised under the knees of the eldest princess Langhuan since she was a child, and has to be taught by the eldest princess herself, don't rely on Mrs. Lin to measure up and talk nonsense."
Mrs. Wu pointed out the birth of Yuheng, pointed her finger at the ladies and laughed.
"I'm young, and I'm going to the ladies Haihan where I misbehave."
Yu Heng bowed his head and smiled decently.
Wu Lianying sat under Mrs. Wu, her eyes glanced at Yu Heng with a flat gaze, Yu Heng raised her eyebrows, raised her glass and smiled.
The maid served all kinds of seasonal fruits and snacks, and the ladies chatted happily, and Yuheng did not go to socialize, so he sat in his seat, ate fruit snacks, and drank two sips of tea when he was thirsty.
Mrs. Cheng sat next to her and introduced her to the identities and family backgrounds of the ladies who came to the banquet and had a human temperament.
"Why don't we move and enjoy the lotus first?"
Mrs. Wu proposed.
The ladies present echoed the proposal, "Okay, this is a good time to enjoy the lotus." ”
Then, Mrs. Wu led a group of ladies to the flower pond, and Yuheng followed Mrs. Cheng behind the team.
Bypass the Moon Gate, and further on, there is the lotus pond.
The Wu Mansion is very open, the yard is extremely vast, there are about ten acres of lotus ponds stretching forward in the backyard, and the nine-curved corridor extends forward, connecting a pavilion in the center of the pool.
In this desolate Xining, there is such an exquisite Jiangnan garden.
Wu Mansion is really a big business.
"Mrs. Lin, General Lin has an urgent matter to find you, and he is waiting in the outer hall."
The little maid dressed as a subordinate of the Wu Mansion walked in front of Yu Heng and curtched her knees.
"Oh? What is the matter? ”
Yuheng raised his eyebrows, but it came quite quickly.
"The slave doesn't know."
The maid hung her head and said.
"Sister Cheng, I'll take a look."
Yu Heng squeezed Mrs. Cheng's hand and said with a smile.
"I'll come with you." Mrs. Cheng glanced at the crowd and did not see Miss Wu, and then her eyes showed worry.
"No need, Mrs. Cheng, it's rare to see such a beautiful lotus pond, why don't you enjoy it."
The little maid led the way in front, and Yuheng followed behind with Qiguan and Caiyue.
Skirting one corridor after another, the little maid still didn't stop.
"How far is this sister?"
Caiyue called the little maid, and the little maid sighed, "It's almost there, it's just a mile ahead." ”
The little maid looked up, then touched her hand, patted her thigh, and said regretfully, "Oh, my bracelet has fallen off, what can I do?" ”
"You go find the bracelet, show us the way and we will go by ourselves, there will definitely be people passing by on the road, and we will find someone to lead the way when the time comes."
Cai Yue smiled intimately.
"Then how can you do it, leave the guests alone, and you will definitely be punished if you are found by the master."
"It must have landed on the rockery, Mrs. Lin, please help the slave." The little maid hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Oh, how can I help?" Yu Heng stared at the little maid with a pair of good-looking eyes, and the little maid's heart jumped.
Won't be discovered?
After the little maid finished the trick, she pointed to a side room next to her, "I'm sorry for you to wait here for the slave maid, the slave maid found the bracelet and came over immediately." ”
"Okay."
Yu Heng said briskly.
After thanking the little maid, she hurriedly got up, invited people into the wing, curtsied and ran away.
"You two, go and wait outside the door."
Yu Heng bundled his fingers and drove the two little maids out, since he wanted to see what others were going to do, he had to take the initiative to give him a chance.
Qiguan and Caiyue stood outside the door, and sure enough, they were quickly led away.
