The news that the Xiao Mansion was going to hold a flower party soon spread throughout the capital.

The mansions are looking forward to this.

That was Queen Xiao's maiden home.

Moreover, in recent years, there has been an unwritten tacit understanding in the capital, every time a mansion holds a flower party to invite the nobles to go, everyone will default to the fact that this family wants to see each other, and women with marriage contracts usually avoid one or two.

Now that the Xiao family wants to see each other, the capital is naturally a frying pan.

Although Queen Xiao has been matching the county lord of Nanping and Xiao Heng, I heard that Xiao Heng has not nodded, and this family business has not fallen for a long time, if Xiao Heng has taken a fancy to other girls at the flower party, it is not impossible.

For a while, the major jewelry buildings and silk villages in the capital were crowded, and the girls and ladies who came and went almost broke the threshold, and everyone wanted to show off their style at the flower party, and it was best to get into Xiao Liulang's eyes.

For this reason, Xie Jinyue was very anxious, worried that Mrs. Gu would not let her go out.

When she got up in the morning to say goodbye, she begged Mrs. Gu to allow her to go to the flower party, she couldn't go out because of such an ugly man, right?

"Your father said that when the Yan family enters Beijing next month, they will come to the door to ask for marriage, and it is really inappropriate for you to show up again at this time." Old Madam Gu knew Xie Jinyue's thoughts, and she was not at ease with her, although the Yan family's family background was average, but Yan Yousheng was talented, and she was married as a wife, and from the perspective of her identity as a person who came over, this family business was still very good.

Xie Jinyue looked at Xie Yao pitifully.

Xie Yao was blown by Aunt Wu's pillow wind all night, so he didn't say anything, and coughed lightly: "Mother, although we only have a verbal agreement with the Yan family, the third girl is just going to participate in a flower party, and the Yan family is not careful, so let her go out to see the world!" ”

When she becomes the wife of the Yan family, there will not be many opportunities to participate in the Xiaofu Flower Festival.

Unless Yan has a raw fish jumping over the dragon gate, he will be on the rise.

"Since you promised, go ahead!" When Mrs. Gu saw Xie Yao say this, she couldn't stop her anymore, so she instructed Mother Chi to go with her, and be sure to take care of the girls, Mother Chi looked at Xie Ting one by one, and asked, "Second Master, does the fifth girl know the news?" ”

"She knows what she doesn't know, how do I know?" Xie Ting was impatient.

He was worried, how could he care about whether the five girls would go to the flower party or not.

Mother Chi retreated.

Old Madam Gu's face sank: "The second child will stay for a while, and I have something to tell you." ”

Xie Jinyue and Xie Yao got up and went out of the door in a playful way.

After the father and daughter left, Old Madam Gu continued: "There is nothing to do, what are you talking about outside?" At an old age, why are you still so unbreathable? ”

Since Zhao Jinghuan asked about Xie Ting's errand two days ago, Xie Ting was ecstatic, and when he met people, he said that His Royal Highness King Jing appreciated him very much and had the intention of promoting him.

In the past two days, people have been congratulating him and asking him to have a drink, and even the official department is still shocked!

Xie Ting was silent.

Who knew that Zhao Jinghuan suddenly said goodbye, which made him very depressed.

He originally thought that before Zhao Jinghuan left, he would arrange his errand!

"Second child, let's not talk about whether you are promoted or not, now that Aunt Yang is pregnant, you should often visit and visit." Old Madam Gu hated iron and steel, "She is so pregnant with your flesh and blood, what do you say you are doing with those two foxes and ghosts all day long?" ”

"Mother, how do you know that I didn't go to see Aunt Yang, I just went to see her yesterday, okay?" Xie Ting said with a dark face, "Besides, Axiu Acai was promised by the Xu family to make me a room, not that you are fooling around, in short, you don't have to ask about the things in my room." ”

"Hmph, I don't have to ask, and you want to take a tael of silver from me in the future." Old Madam Gu sneered, "Your eldest brother is an uncle, and he only has one wife and one concubine to serve, you are good, one wife, two concubines and two concubines have a room, just with your little money, do you think you can support the people in your house?" Over the years, it has not been the public school that has been sticking silver stickers. ”

"Mother, if you count it like that, then the son will tell you." Xie Ting couldn't help but say, "The silver that feeds the Xie Mansion, in the final analysis, is still the Su family's dowry, who will support whom!" ”

If you want him to say that it is the dowry of the Su family that supports the Xie Mansion.

Sue is his wife, right?

"Get out, you have no conscience, why don't you want to think about it, if I hadn't come forward back then, would the Su family's dowry be kept?" Old Madam Gu was so angry that she dropped the tea bowl and said angrily, "Now that the wind and waves are calm, you have settled accounts with me after the autumn, let me tell you, if it weren't for me, these dowries of the Su family would have been confiscated and divided up a long time ago, where can you be happy now?" ”

One by one, they are all white-eyed wolves!

Xie Ting rolled in a gloomy manner.

Three days later, Mother Chi took Xie Jinyue and Xie Jinru, who were dressed up in fancy clothes, out of the carriage and went straight to Xiao's Mansion.

Xie Jinyi did not go with them, but went to the medical hall, asked Ziyu to carry the medicine bag prepared in advance into the carriage, and went to the Jishitang next door, chatted with Su Fu for a while, and asked about the current situation of Mother Yang and Su Yan, and learned that Lu Zhong's business over there was very good, so he was relieved and ordered: "In the future, I will be very busy here, and the matter of acquiring the shops will be handed over to Su Bo for the time being, in short, no matter how much money is spent, it is necessary to redeem the shops of the Su family." ”

"Rest assured, girl, the old slave will live up to her trust." Su Fu swore an oath, and then asked, "I wonder when the girl's shop will come back?" ”

"There's no hurry." Xie Jinyi groaned, "When necessary, I will bring it back, and I will talk about it when I am busy with Princess Beirong's affairs first." ”

Princess Beirong, she had already told Su Fu about it.

She didn't hide anything from him.

Coming out of Jishitang, Xie Jinyi got into the carriage and went to Xiao Mansion unhurriedly.

Three poles on the sun.

The ladies have already arrived.

Accompanied by their respective maids and mothers-in-law, strolling in the huge garden to enjoy the flowers, the peony peony in the garden is in full bloom, the fragrance of flowers bursts, the bees and butterflies dance, the small bridge and flowing water, the rockery pavilion, the cloister pavilion is hidden in it, and it is a prosperous scene.

On the octagonal floor not far away, the sons chant poetry and tea, play the piano and music, and drink beautiful women, so they are not merry and happy.

Zhao Jinghuan shook his fan and looked at the gate from time to time.

"Who are you seeing?" Chu Yunzhao had just arrived, and he stepped forward and quipped, "Your Highness has a crush on which girl?" ”

"Who do you care I look at!" Zhao Jinghuan retracted his gaze and put away the fan with a bang, "Don't talk nonsense, how about the things I asked you to check?" ”

The purple night incense is not fake in Feng Guifei's courtyard.

But this matter will definitely not be done by Feng Guifei.

"Half a month ago, a little eunuch in the Empress Dowager's palace once went to Feng Guifei to ask for purple evening primrose, saying that his master liked this flower, so Feng Guifei asked people to fold some for him." Chu Yunzhao said, "I have inquired, the master of the little eunuch is called Zong Yuan, who has been on an errand in Cining Palace for many years, and is considered the confidant eunuch of the Empress Dowager Xiao. ”

"Sure enough, it's her!" Zhao Jinghuan sneered and ordered, "Rong Jiu, you go and kidnap Zong Yuan, and this king will personally interrogate him." ”

Rong Jiudao was, and hurriedly retreated.

A carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the Xiao Mansion.

Ziyu jumped out of the carriage and handed over the invitation.

The gatekeeper respectfully invited the master and servant in.
