Chapter 135: The Lin Mansion Holds a Banquet
Therefore, after chatting privately with Princess Pi for a long time, Shen Yafei decided to find a post from a relatively noble and prestigious person from so many invitations, replied to the post, and told the other party that she was willing to attend her banquet.
So that night, Shen Yafei told Xu Shizi about it. Xu Shizi didn't care, he felt that his official fortune had nothing to do with those people outside, and he didn't feel that those people had the ability to affect his future. Therefore, Xu Shizi told Shen Yafei that it can be seen or not, and everything is fine. But Shen Yafei still felt that it would be better to go than not to go.
The next day, Shen Yafei dressed up and went out with a satisfied nod from Princess Li, and as soon as she went out, she took a carriage directly to Lin's house.
"Princess, you're here. My young grandmother is waiting for you in the front hall! There was a little girl guarding at the door of Lin's house, and when she saw Shen Yafei, she bowed down and said decently.
Shen Yafei nodded at her slightly: "The tired girl leads the way." ”
"The princess is polite, it is what a slave and maid should do." The little girl bowed unhurriedly, and led the way in front as she spoke, "The princess, please!" ”
Shen Yafei followed behind the little girl with a smile on her face, seeing that this little girl was so young, she was very polite and in place. It seems that the upbringing of the Lin family is really good, and the young grandmother of the Lin family has really worked her.
"Young grandmother, the princess has arrived." The little girl took Shen Yafei to the reception hall of the Lin Mansion and stood at the door to report to the young grandmother of the Lin family.
After hearing the little girl's words, the guests in the front hall all looked at Shen Yafei.
"Princess, come, come and sit." When the young grandmother of the Lin family saw Shen Yafei coming in, she immediately stood up to greet her, and personally led Shen Yafei to her position. Shen Yafei's position this time is also very interesting, just under Princess Lang.
When Shen Yafei walked over, Princess Lang happened to look at her with a kind face, and Shen Yafei bowed slightly to Princess Lang with a faint smile before she sat down.
"I heard that Xu Shizi is also going to enter the court. Xu Shizi was personally taught by the prince of Li, and he must be a good talent. No matter what department you go to, you will be able to work with the competent officials of that department. After chatting for a while, the young grandmother of the Lin family pulled the topic to Shen Yafei and complimented Shen Yafei.
Shen Yafei smiled when she heard this, lowered her head and whispered, "Grandma Lin has won the award." ”
"I don't know which department Xu Shizi is going to enter? Could it be that he also holds the power of one side like the prince of thunder? However, it is impossible for a talented person like Xu Shizi not to be delegated to important tasks. Moreover, Xu Shizi is the emperor's own nephew, and the emperor has always loved Xu Shizi the most, and he will definitely give Xu Shizi a good errand. There is no need to worry about this kind of thing. Princess Lang said with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
But Shen Yafei saw the smile on the corner of Princess Lang's mouth, and felt that the smile was ethereal, which made people unable to grasp it, and at first glance, she knew that it was not very true
Sincerely. Who doesn't know that Xu Shizi is a famous gentleman in the capital, Princess Lang's words are a bit too empty, like a fart on the horse's leg, and it is also like a mockery hidden in the knife, as soon as Princess Lang's words came out, the ladies and ladies present were all pale, all shrunk back, trying to minimize their own existence, and they didn't want to participate in the corners of their mouths.
Shen Yafei just smiled and said: "These things are all men's affairs, and the affairs of the court, as a woman in the house, it is inconvenient for me to discuss these things, and I don't understand these things." What kind of errand to arrange is also a matter for our saint, and our saint is a wise ruler, and he will know who is suitable for what position. None of this is something I should worry about, and it's not something I can worry about. ”【… ¥ Aichi Literature om *! Free】
The smirk on Princess Lang's face was also a little unbearable, and the expression on her face became stiff.
"Yes, we don't understand these court things. We, the ladies of the house, are also Langjun who are related to themselves, and said casually. How can we, the women of the inner house, have the ability to figure out the intentions of the heavenly family. Naturally, the Heavenly Family's approach is the best. Grandma Lin saw that Princess Lang's face was not good, and Shen Yafei's words were also a little sinful, so Grandma Lin Shao immediately stood up to relieve Princess Lang.
Grandma Lin's voice lagged behind, and Shen Yafei only lowered her head and smiled.
For Shen Yafei's silent situation, it was the most embarrassing, after Grandma Lin finished speaking, the surroundings were quiet, and Grandma Lin didn't know what to say next.
"It's spring now, and although our Lin Mansion is small, there are also a lot of flowers blooming in the garden of the Mansion. In particular, there are many camellia transplanted from Jiangnan, and I lick my face here and invite everyone to take a look. After a while, the young grandmother of the Lin family sorted out her embarrassing emotions and said modestly.
"Grandma Lin is too modest, who doesn't know that Lord Lin likes camellia the most. Lin has a deep understanding of camellias, and has also found many precious and rare camellia flowers from all over the country. The Lin family's garden is rare for us to see on weekdays. When the queen mother came to the Lin Mansion to enjoy the words, she also personally made a poem for the camellia of the Lin Mansion, and the queen praised the garden of the Lin Mansion as 'sending the shyness in the early spring, and the purple is in the wind.' The beauty of the green bushes is beautiful, and it is more beautiful and pretty. Counting the Qin Tower, why not be annoyed? But he envied the mandarin ducks and liked to accompany him, saying that he knew it to the world. ’。 It vividly describes the prosperity of the camellia planted in the Lin Mansion that shocked the capital. Over the years, the tea garden in Linfu has also been a famous and valuable place for camellia viewing. How many people want to come, but they can't even enter the door. Today, we are fortunate to be invited by Grandma Lin, which is an honor for us. A young woman dressed as a young lady said with a smile covering her mouth.
This can be so flattering for the situation in this young lady's family, but for a wealthy family like Lang Wangfu, Ning Wangfu and Liwang Mansion, no matter how beautiful the garden of this Lin Mansion is, it cannot be said to be rare. This seems to be the most rich and beautiful garden in the whole capital, and the palace nobles in the capital are the richest and most beautiful
Where is the mansion located? So, as soon as the lady's words came out, people closed their mouths one after another.
Grandma Lin is usually a smart person, but at this time, she didn't know how to talk, so she had to laugh with her, and looked nervously at Princess Lang's face, and saw that Princess Lang's face was as usual, and Grandma Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mrs. He's words are wrong. The gardens of Princess Lang, King Ning's Mansion and King Li's Mansion are much better than our small garden. It didn't take long for the young grandmother of the Lin family to look at Princess Lang and Princess Ning cautiously.
Princess Lang and Princess Ning both had a faint smile on the corner of their lips, and the expressions on their faces were exactly the same. Shen Yafei only smiled, looking at Grandma Lin without squinting. Grandma Lin Shao clearly saw Shen Yafei's smiling eyes, and muttered in her heart. She had not been in contact with Shen Yafei before, and all the Shen Yafei she knew was through rumors in other people's mouths. She always thought that Shen Yafei was a reckless village girl with no wisdom. But just now I saw Shen Yafei looking at her with such calm and wisdom, which subverted Shen Yafei's cognition in her heart. At this time, Shen Yafei's gaze seemed to be able to see through everything, which made Grandma Lin feel worried.
At this moment, Grandma Lin Shao regretted that she had agreed to Princess Lang's request and went to set up a banquet for Shen Yafei. If Shen Yafei is still the brainless person she thought, it's okay. But the current Shen Yafei is completely different from what she thinks, she thinks how can a wise person like Shen Yafei be so easy to calculate.
Grandma Lin wanted to retreat temporarily. However, the next moment, her eyes met Princess Lang's ruthless gaze, and the thoughts that popped up in Grandma Lin's heart just now immediately disappeared. It wasn't the time she could think about backing down. Compared with Shen Yafei, she is more afraid of Princess Lang. Everything from yesterday seemed to be still in front of Grandma Lin's eyes.
"Then I'll take you to see the camellia in our garden. Please come with me, everyone. Grandma Lin said with a smile.
Grandma Lin Shao went over to help Princess Lang and Princess Ning, and walked in front of everyone, and Shen Yafei quietly followed behind. Suddenly, a delicate scream sounded, and then Shen Yafei's waist was hit, and the strong impact force made Shen Yafei's body not stand firm, and fell directly backwards, accidentally hitting a real thing.
"Ah~" A scream resounded in the air, breaking through everyone's ears.
"Miss He!" Then another girl cried out in horror.
Shen Yafei was also held firmly by Dabao so that she did not fall to the ground. And the people behind her panicked, and the footsteps of the people behind her were messy. The people walking in front of Shen Yafei also turned around and looked back, and when they saw He Miaomiao who fell to the ground, people were confused for a while.
He Miaomiao's ass landed on the ground, without any defense, and her ass was turned upside down, so painful that her teeth were clenched. After He Miaomiao was helped up, her right hand was still rubbing her ass regardless of the image.
"Sister, are you okay?"
He Qianqian's face was worried and regretful, tears came out of her eyes, and her expression was very aggrieved, as if she was the one who fell just now.
He Miaomiao's buttocks hurt so much that she couldn't take care of He Qianqian, and she didn't have the energy to respond to her.
He Qianqian then looked at Shen Yafei with teary eyes, and accused with a choked voice: "Princess, how can you be like this? Didn't my sister do anything to you? Why are you doing this to my sister? My sister just met someone you didn't like last time she took you out of the palace gate, and you should have been angry at the time, but she didn't expect that there were people in the courtyard you didn't like at that time. After so long, you should be angry, and besides, my sister didn't mean it at the time, why did you remember it for so long? ”
He Qianqian's words reminded He Miaomiao of Shen Yafei's indifference to her during the previous palace banquet, which made her feel that she was despised and looked down upon. He Miaomiao immediately glanced at Shen Yafei fiercely.
But this is still in full view, and He Miaomiao is angry and doesn't dare to do anything to Shen Yafei in front of so many people.
"Okay, I don't think the princess did it on purpose, so Miss He doesn't have to care. The princess must have been careless. The young grandmother of the Lin family stood up to defend Shen Yafei, but no matter how she listened, it didn't look like she was talking for Shen Yafei, but like instigating between the two.
"Yes. This palace also feels that the princess is not such a person who has no stomach, Miss He, don't be careful, the princess must be careless. This palace apologizes to you for the princess, don't worry about the princess. Princess Lang said very considerately.
Shen Yafei looked at them acting expressionlessly, and coldly hooked the corners of her lips.
After Princess Lang finished talking to He Miaomiao, she looked at Shen Yafei like a close friend, and when she saw the sneer on the corner of Shen Yafei's lips, her heart trembled, and she didn't know why her heart was beating in a trance.
"The princess didn't mean to, since nothing happened to everyone. If Miss He is not in any physical condition, let's continue to see the camellias, shall we? Grandma Lin said with a smile.
He Miaomiao originally wanted to have a good relationship with the rich and noble people in the capital, and since Grandma Lin gave her the stairs, she was not so uninteresting. Besides, in front of so many people, He Miaomiao is not easy to lose her face, she still wants to play a gentle and virtuous lady image in front of the lady in the capital! Therefore, He Miaomiao nodded at Young Grandma Lin.
So, a group of people began to walk towards the Lin family's garden again. When you arrive at the garden, you will be greeted by the spring color of the yard.
The outermost circle of the garden of Lin Mansion is a freshly sprouted osmanthus tree, and the new osmanthus leaves are tender and green, just like the skin of a newborn baby, delicate and delicate; In the next circle, there is a pear tree, the leaves of the pear tree have almost fallen off in winter, and the branches are full of small white pear blossoms, giving people a fresh and elegant feeling. Looking at people's mood is extremely comfortable; In the innermost circle of the garden is the camellia.
In the garden of the Lin Mansion, the camellia is surrounded by a full eight stacks in the inner circle,
There are many types of camellia in it, including eighteen bachelors, snow towers, flower peonies, mandarin ducks and phoenix crowns, and golden lilies······
There is everything, and the most is eighteen bachelors. The Eighteen Bachelors is Lord Lin's favorite kind of camellia, and each one is cooked by himself. Usually, these eighteen bachelors are only placed in Master Lin's own courtyard, and no one can get close to them without his approval. If it weren't for King Lang's idea to let his mansion set up a banquet today, Lord Lin would not be willing to take out the eighteen bachelors he had carefully raised for everyone to watch.
Lord Lin has always loved camellias, and even became obsessed. So in the capital, the camellia of Linfu is the most famous, a thousand gold. Of course, although it is worth a thousand gold, it is also difficult to buy a thousand gold. Often in this capital, except for the Lin Mansion, others can only see the camellia carefully cultivated by Lord Lin himself in the palace. This is also a direct passage for Lord Lin's official position to rise smoothly.
Although camellia blooms in spring, the opening hours of each type of camellia are different. The camellia in the garden of Linfu, some of the camellia has just emerged as a small bud, delicate and lovely. Some of them are budding and ready to be released, like shy little beauties, they are beginning to attract people's attention. Some camellias are just beginning to bloom, and the size of the flowers is just enough to blend into a pear blossom. It just so happened that there was a pear blossom blown down by the spring breeze and fell on the mouth of the camellia blooming, which looked like a delicate teapot, and the pear blossom was the small and exquisite lid on the teapot, which was very suitable. It's interesting to watch. Some camellia flowers are blooming brightly, the trunk is smooth, the leaves are round, and the flowers are opening to the fullest, showing people their most beautiful posture.
The petals of the camellia are stacked layer by layer, the petals are soft and have a certain thickness, not as thin as the petals of the pear blossom, which can be broken when pinched, and the petals of the camellia are round and very comfortable to touch. Each petal of the camellia is stacked with many yellow stamens, and the petals also reflect each other, which is very ingenious.
Moreover, these stamens are also the seeds of the new camellia cultivated by Lord Lin in the coming year, and Lord Lin cherishes it very much, usually surrounded by branches in the outer three layers and three layers inside, so he is worried that he will be accidentally knocked down by the careless subordinates of his precious flower bones, then Lord Lin can be distressed, and only at this time Lord Lin will endure the pain to tear down the guardrail around the position. When this decision was made, Lord Lin didn't sleep well for several days, and he got up early this morning to stay in this pile of camellias, and even breakfast was placed here. Lord Lin also took leave from the court, that is, after today's banquet, he personally instructed his subordinates to move the camellia back to his courtyard.
The varieties of camellia in the garden are different, so the color of the flowers that bloom is also different. Some of them are pure white, pink, and red, and they look very pure and sweet in the past. Some of the camellia on the same tea tree will gather these colors together, open all over, at a glance, colorful, look extraordinarily delicate. Yes, there are several kinds of camellias
The colors are ever-changing, graceful, and enchanting!
"It's beautiful!" The young lady who thought she was delicate and lovely couldn't help but sigh.
Even Shen Yafei couldn't help but nod appreciatively when she looked at the camellia in the courtyard: It is indeed beautiful, and the camellia in the Lin Mansion is really not covered.
"Don't touch it." When a lady saw such a beautiful camellia, she couldn't help but reach out and want to touch it. Young Grandma Lin was shocked when she saw it, it was her father-in-law's favorite eighteen bachelors, and when she looked at the lady's hand and was about to touch the camellia, Young Grandma Lin immediately screamed.
The lady stopped her hand reaching for the flower in time, and stopped in mid-air in embarrassment, and Grandma Lin immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Then when he saw the lady frozen in embarrassment, he came back to his senses, and immediately stepped forward and gently pulled the lady's hand back: "I'm sorry, Grandma Zhang." Scares you, right? This is my father-in-law's favorite camellia, and I don't usually let people touch it. I subconsciously called it out. I'm really sorry. ”
"It's okay, understand. I've also heard that Lord Lin loves flowers. It's me who is abrupt. Grandma Zhang Shao said embarrassedly.
"Don't blame Grandma Zhang, blame me for not making it clear to everyone. I'm really sorry. After apologizing to Grandma Zhang, Young Grandma Lin bowed slightly in the direction of everyone and apologized, "I'm really sorry, these flowers are my father-in-law's beloved things, and I don't usually touch them." So I would like to ask you to try not to touch these flowers with your hands. ”
