The carriage gurgled towards Prince Luo's mansion, but the dream language on the carriage was no longer as pleasant as going to Shangxiang that day.

The handkerchief that Mengyu was holding in her hand had been ravaged by her to such an extent. Mrs. looked at the nervous Mengyu, patted her hand and said, "Child, don't be nervous, it's just a flower banquet, you can order it casually." Mengyu bit her lip and said, "How can you not be nervous, it's the first time for Mengyu to participate in such a banquet." "Moreover, it's a banquet for the princess, what kind of concept is this!!

"The last time I saw Prince Luo, she was an amiable person. You just need to remember what your grandmother said, don't mess around in everything, be well-behaved in front of Prince Luo and the ladies of the various mansions, and talk and laugh with the ladies as usual. Mrs. took Mengyu's hand, gently stroked it, and comforted her.

The carriage stopped, and Caidie, who was following behind the carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage. "Madam, Third Miss, has arrived." As he spoke, he removed the footstool from the carriage. Mrs. took Yao Huang's hand and got out of the carriage first. Mengyu took advantage of this time, took a deep breath, and comforted herself: What's the matter, isn't it just a pompous adult, and the characters are famous? I even encountered such a lucky thing as crossing over, what else could shock me? Is it possible that a senior student under modern education can still be afraid of a group of ancients?

Calmed down, Mengyu held Yao Huang's hand, stepped on the footstool, and Si Swenwen got out of the carriage.

Today, Apricot and Momo have never followed, and Mengyu has never seen them so far. The wife's four maids: Caidie, Yao Huang, Zhao Fen, and Xiangyu, all followed. Mei'er and Lianrong, who were beside the old lady, also accompanied her as Mengyu's personal maids.

Two huge stone lions were sitting at the door, with red silk flowers hanging around their necks. The color is bright, and it is not excluded that there is a lot of money, and it is possible to change it every day. Mengyu was one step behind his wife and followed him up the stairs at the entrance of Prince Luo's mansion. As soon as he stood still, a young man dressed in a neat house dress came out of the door, about sixteen or seventeen years old. When I came up, I asked for a good day, and I asked if I was here to participate in the flower banquet, and I suddenly smiled even more. "Come in, it's just the right time for you to come up." So saying, he bent down and led the way to the door, and when he reached the threshold, the young man exaggeratedly said, "Be careful of the threshold." The expression on his face was not flattering at all, as if this was what he should say as a subordinate.

When I arrived at the second gate, there was already a woman with a married hair bun waiting at the door. The daughter-in-law stepped forward and blessed her body, and said with a smile: "It's the wife and the third lady of the Lin Mansion, the princess has been waiting for a long time, just waiting to see the third miss." As she spoke, the daughter-in-law turned her head to look at Mengyu. When she saw the makeup on Mengyu's face, she immediately stepped forward and praised her wife: "This is the third lady in your house, look at this little delicate appearance." The lady was neither rude nor too enthusiastic and smiled, and said, "There is labor to lead the way." So saying, he took out a plum-shaped piece of silver from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it into the daughter-in-law's hand without a trace. The daughter-in-law quickly put her hand into her sleeve pocket and replied with a smile: "Look at me, I was stunned by Miss Lin San." Let's go, the princess is in a hurry. "With that, lead the way in front.

Passing by a garden, roses of all colors are blooming as far as the eye can see. Red, yellow, purple, white, black, green, orange, blue, each with its own posture, competing for beauty. Potted roses are placed on both sides of the path. Along the way, the fragrance came to my nose. Slowly, passing a small bridge, the river flows under the bridge, and I don't know where it comes from and where it is going to flow. Not far away, there is a pavilion on the river, and there are young girls dressed as maids back and forth in the pavilion, holding all kinds of small snacks.

"Princess, Mrs. Lin Mansion and the third lady are here." Along the path where the roses were placed, the daughter-in-law led them into the flower hall. In the flower hall, there have been several wives and young ladies sitting, in the middle of the seat, there is a peony embroidered cardigan wearing embroidered gauze dress, a peacock in the middle of the cloud sideburns open the screen, Xu is for the occasion, there are two gold-leaf rose hairpins on one side of the bun, and the grace and luxury exuded all over the body are something that Mengyu has never seen in others.

"Come on in, we're talking about your third lady." Princess Luo looked at the two people who were brought in by Wang Fu's family and said.

"The Lin family greets the princess, and I wish the princess all the best."

"Dream whispers to the princess to say goodbye, and I wish the princess eternal youth." Dream Yu forgot the words he had thought of for a while, and said them casually.

The princess stood up, walked up to the two of them, and made a false gesture. Then he pulled Mengyu and said: "Look at this kid who can speak, he is old, how can he stay young forever." Mengyu smiled slightly. A lady next to her answered: "The princess has a good way, if this is all old, then wouldn't all of us become old monsters." Princess Luo looked at the lady who spoke with a smile and said, "Look at what Mrs. Xie said, this can tell all the ladies present, and when the time comes, they will all come to stop you alone, don't come to me for help." The lady Xie replied: "How can it, I'm praising the princess, besides, the princess already looks like she is under the age of thirty, so our group naturally can't be called old monsters." The crowd burst into laughter.

"I'm no longer young, but this Miss Lin San in front of me, looking at her little face, I'm in a good mood." The princess pulled the topic back to Mengyu. Another lady next to her came up and said, "Miss Lin San's logo, even the makeup on her face is very exquisite." I've never seen it. The princess looked at the makeup on Mengyu's face, and then said with a smile: "I have also noticed a long time ago, this is painted with peach petals, right?" This is what makes people more delicate than peach blossoms. Mrs. Xie also came up and asked, "Who came up with this?" It's really a good craft. Mengyu blessed Mrs. Xie, bowed her head and said shyly: "Mengyu is just playing around, but it makes the ladies laugh." The princess tilted her head, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "It's really novel, catch up with Ming'er, let the young ladies also play around." We don't dare to try it at our age. The young ladies who were originally sitting on the side reservedly also gathered around at this moment, looking at them curiously and enviously. Mengyu sighed: It turns out that I also have a day of leading the trend.

One after another, the ladies and ladies of all the provinces were present.

"Okay, okay, I invite you to come today, I'm here to enjoy the flowers, and the small pavilion in front has been prepared, let's go?" The princess looked at the crowd and said, then walked ahead.

Walking all the way, I saw a pavilion, which was very spacious, not closed on all sides, and there were direct paths, surrounded by pale pink silk, moving with the wind. In the pavilion there is a long desk with brushes, rice paper, etc. When she walked into this pavilion, the princess said, "Ladies and gentlemen, play the piano, compose poems, and enjoy the flowers here. We, the old ones, went to the little pavilion opposite and watched you perform. As she spoke, the princess glanced at the ladies and said with a smile: "Today, there are three kinds of piano, poems, and books, each with a winner." It's up to you ladies to perform. With that, he beckoned the ladies into the pavilion.

The princess and the ladies sat down in the small pavilion, and the maids began to serve tea. The princess smiled and said to everyone: "All the ladies may wish to guess which three young ladies can win the championship today." The lady who mentioned Mengyu's makeup earlier said with a smile: "It must be the fourth lady of Mrs. Xie's family who wins the top three." Mrs. Xie said modestly: "Although the little girl Danniang has some talent, she said that she won three first prizes, and Mrs. Liu really exalted her too much." Another lady next to her smiled contemptuously at Mrs. Xie and said, "Mrs. Xie said the same, I heard that at the flower banquet jointly organized by Prince Luo and Prince Cheng last time, the fourth lady of the mighty Hou family played the piano in one hand, which was called a deep emotion." Danniang can only live behind. Mrs. Xie looked at the lady and said with a smirk: "The fourth young lady of the mighty Hou family is indeed a little famous, and now there are more than these few talented people, just Mrs. Wu, the second young lady of your family should also practice hard, and the province is compared to other young ladies." When Mrs. Xu, who was called Mrs. Xu, heard this, she thought of her daughter who hated iron and steel, and she could only be angry.

The princess looked at the fading scene, smiled and came out of the round, and said: "All the young ladies are good, but it's a pity that I never gave birth to a daughter, which is probably the biggest regret in my life." Then he looked at Lin and said, "I don't know what hobbies Miss Lin San has at home on weekdays, maybe I want her to come and win one of the top prizes today." Lin replied with a modest smile: "Mengyu likes to read books and write at home on weekdays. As for the piano, it is only slightly involved, and it is not worth mentioning. The princess looked up at Mengyu in a group of young ladies not far away and said, "Mrs. Lin is too modest, I think that maybe today, the third lady will shine." ”

Mengyu sat alone in the corner of the pavilion drinking tea, watching the ladies talk together, sometimes maybe the topic talked about Mengyu, and turned back to look in the direction of Mengyu. Mengyu sat quietly, looking at the bluestone bricks on the ground, and when she was about to see a hole, a pair of small and delicate embroidered shoes suddenly appeared in front of her. Mengyu raised her head and saw a little girl about the same age as her, with timidity on her face, looking at Mengyu with an expression of wanting to say but hesitating.

Mengyu smiled softly at her and said, "Is there something wrong?" He patted the seat next to him and said, "Do you want to sit down and say?" The little girl tugged at her clothes and sat down nervously. Mengyu looked at her and introduced herself softly: "My name is Lin Mengyu, the dream of dreams, and the soft-spoken language." The little girl was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "My name is Wu Qianrou." Then he seemed to think of something, deliberately "en", and continued: "Qianli, gentle and soft." Mengyu nodded and asked, "Is there anything to find me?" Wu Qianrou's face flushed, and she said embarrassedly: "I see you sitting here alone, and there is no one to talk to you, and it just so happens that I am also one, and there is no one to talk to me." Mengyu was curious: "Is it the first time for you to participate in such a banquet?" Wu Qianrou shook her head and said softly, "I'm so stupid, they don't want to talk to me." Mengyu was stunned, then patted Wu Qianrou's shoulder, and said domineeringly: "Let's play together in the future." Wu Qianrou looked happy and nodded vigorously.

At this moment, a beautiful woman in a half-arm high-waisted skirt clapped her hands and said, "Sisters, this time we will have the last competition on the piano, and each of us will write a poem first." In this way, there are poems, and there are words. You say, "Is that a good idea?" Immediately there was a lot of discussion, and the ladies of all the provinces nodded their heads and said yes. Mengyu looked at the girl in front of her, as if she was the master of this flower banquet. Mengyu quietly looked at Wu Qianrou next to her and asked, "Is she the daughter of Prince Luo?" Wu Qianrou looked at Mengyu in surprise, with an expression of "you don't know", glanced at the girl timidly, and then looked at Mengyu and said: "Prince Luo has no daughter, this is the fourth lady of Xie Mansion, Xie Danniang." Then he added, "Her father is a scholar of the Imperial Court. With many years of experience in reading time-traveling novels, Mengyu can be sure that Xie Danniang's father must be the boss of her father who has never met.

It was as if the secret conversation between Lin Mengyu and Wu Qianrou had been discovered by that Xie Danniang, and Xie Danniang walked towards them with a smile. The two of them couldn't sit like watching a play anymore, so they both got up. Xie Danniang looked at the woman in front of her with peach blossom makeup between her eyebrows, and felt uncomfortable. In the past, whether it was the opening or the end, she was the focus of the audience, and all the famous ladies revolved around her. As soon as the third lady of the Lin Mansion came today, the clever peach blossom makeup took away her demeanor, and all the ladies also praised this third lady Lin. And Wu Qianrou, who can only follow them like a little tail on weekdays, seems to be very affectionate with Miss Lin San.

"I heard that Sister Lin is not in good health and has been in a hospital bed for a long time, so I haven't seen it yet. Presumably, Sister Lin is also the first time to participate in such a flower banquet, right? Xie Danniang asked mockingly.

Sister Lin? Sister Lin, your sister! Mengyu was depressed about this title in her heart, but there was no trace on her face, and she replied with a smile: "Mengyu is fortunate to be recuperated by a master, and his body has fully recovered." Later, my sister had a chance to see me. Xie Danniang didn't want to see the person she didn't like in front of her often, but she said: "That's good, my sister definitely doesn't know how to compete, right?" Mengyu looked up at the paper, ink, pen and inkstone on the table, but did not speak. Xie Danniang smiled awkwardly, and then said to herself: "My sister must not know the first time she participated. There will be such a competition every time the flower banquet is held to prevent people from preparing in advance, so every time the host of the flower banquet makes the question on the spot. At that time, the younger sister only needs to write a poem on the paper, and when the sisters have written it, and then send it to the pavilion where the princess and the ladies are, the princess will naturally judge us first. After speaking, he pulled Mengyu to the desk.

As soon as I walked to the desk, there was already a maid next to me who sent the title of the poem for this competition. Xie Danniang opened the paper, and there was only one word "snow" on it. The girls who came forward to see the topic began to talk about it. "Even if it's not a rose, it can't be snow, right? Where does the snow come from in such a blue sky and white day? Another one replied: "Hehe, could it be that my sister has prepared all kinds of poems, but she hasn't prepared snow?" The girl who was the first to speak was shy, and she wanted to hit the girl who answered her: "Kill you bad girl, see if you dare to be poor." The girl who was beaten hurriedly hid among the young ladies, and the scene suddenly became joyful.

Xie Danniang looked at Lin Mengyu standing there frowning silently, and didn't look at the fight between the two girls next to her, thinking that she couldn't think of poetry. immediately teased: "Sister Lin, can't she write poetry?" Anyway, it's the first time my sister has participated in such a flower banquet, and it's nothing. As he spoke, he turned around and stood in front of the desk on the side, picked up the pen, dipped it in some inkstone, paused, and began to write on rice paper. When he finished writing, he folded the paper and put it in the basket of the maid who carried a basket of flowers on the side. Then a few more girls stepped forward and wrote them and put them in the basket. After writing, they all whispered to each other, discussing with each other what they had written. In the end, even Wu Qianrou bit her lip and wrote a poem on paper with difficulty.

Now only Lin Mengyu has not been written, Xie Danniang looked at Lin Mengyu with a struggling expression, and pretended to be kind and comforted: "It's okay if Sister Lin can't write it, but everyone must hand in one copy." It's okay for my sister to scribble the head. After all, in the end, the princess will only announce the best written, and will not read the worst written by her sister. As soon as he said that, all the ladies present except Wu Qianrou laughed. In fact, Dream Yu is just struggling, thinking about the many poems about snow in the Chinese textbooks of elementary school, junior high school, and high school, which one is the most appropriate now. Hey, knowing too many poems is also difficult.

Mengyu glanced at Xie Danniang and said with a smile: "How does my sister know that I can't write?" It's just that I usually write too much at home, and I don't know which one to pick. After speaking, regardless of Xie Danniang, who was angry on the side, she picked up her pen, swayed, wrote down her poems, and threw them into the flower basket.

The maid carrying the flower basket saw that all the young ladies had finished writing and walked in the direction of the princess.

The ladies in the pavilion saw that the poems had all been written, and stopped their conversations. The princess poured all the papers on the stone table, picked one out of them, and looked at it. Then each of the ladies picked one. The princess looked at the name on the paper in her hand and said with a smile: "Today, I was lucky, and I was the first to draw the poem of Miss Xie Fusi." The poems are good, and the words are more refined than before. Then he handed it to Mrs. Xie first, Mrs. Xie looked at it, her eyes were full of pride, but she said modestly: "The princess is too exaggerated, maybe there are better masterpieces here." ”

At this time, Mrs. Wu looked at the piece of paper in her hand, looked at it again, and said a little puzzled: "Why hasn't this paper been signed?" After speaking, he looked at the content on the paper, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
