Dongfang Fengjue smiled lightly, raised his glass and touched everyone, and they all drank a full glass. He suddenly asked Mu Qingyan: "Do you want to drink some smoke, peach blossom drunkenness is not every day." ”

"Don't! It's obviously a lie, how can there be peach blossoms in that wine, but the world is blind, and they insist on giving such a beautiful name! Mu Qing cigarette butt refused without replying, thinking that this wine was only brewed in the peach blossom season, and buried under the peach blossom tree for three years, and in addition, it had nothing to do with the peach blossom money.

She had forgotten that she had given the wine.

"There are no peach blossoms in the wine, but there is the color of peach blossoms, and it is not an exaggeration to call it peach blossom drunk!" Mu Qinghan raised his glass and drank.

Mu Qingyan muttered something with a small mouth, but no one heard it clearly.

Nangong Yin's amount is shallow, so drunk with peach blossoms, he will be drunk after a few glasses, so he echoed Mu Qingyan and said: "Yan'er is right, this wine is too fierce, and it is not commensurate with half a point of peach blossoms!" ”

At this time, downstairs, Linglong lit the fuse of the fireworks with incense in her hand, trotted back three or four steps, and the fireworks roared into the night sky, blooming in the dark night, and a lively rabbit shining in the dark.

The crowd boiled again, and all eyes were on the giant rabbit.

After a while, the rabbit faded away, Cinnabar lit another firework, the sky shone again, and a big rooster stood with its head held high.

A large number of people flocked to the food, and several people lit the remaining fireworks in turn, and the twelve zodiac signs were all there. There are also some peonies and lotuses and the like, after all, they are not as eye-catching as small animals.

Afraid of an accident, Mu Qingyan beckoned a few maids back upstairs. Nangong Yin asked Xiao Er to serve some hot food again, so she sat back at the table and picked up what she liked and ate some.

Late at night, the crowds on the streets gradually dispersed, and the square was scattered.

Mu Qingyan and the others were also ready to go back, the maids waited and dressed, and the group went downstairs, said goodbye to each other, and went back to their homes all night.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, Weiyang dealt with the affairs of the beggar gang for a few days, and went to Bishui Manor twice, Yanran still had no signs of waking up, and she was worried every day. Yesterday, Wujiu entered the capital, and Weiyang discussed it again in the Xicheng mansion, and Wujiu disappeared without a trace.

This day is February 19, the birthday of the old lady in Nangong Mansion.

Early in the morning, Mu Qingyan packed up and went to Yijian Villa first, and greeted the old lady before the foreign guests, and prepared a set of hand-cut robes, and the coral embroidered the pattern of Baishou; He also found a cigarette pouch with a white jade rod and let Linglong hug him.

Nangong Yin and Nangong Hao came early, and were standing in the courtyard, when they saw Mu Qingyan coming, they went to the painting hall with her to say good morning.

Usually at this time, the old lady has not finished her morning class, but these days she is sick, some have no energy, people are lazy on the couch, and they don't want to eat. The old lady persuaded her, but she ignored it.

Someone came to the study in the outer courtyard to invite the old lady, and he hurried away.

Mu Qingyan personally filled half a bowl of japonica rice porridge, and went to help the old lady to get close to the table, Nangong Yin stretched out his hand to sit on the chair, Nangong Hao spread some side dishes on the plate, and the old lady had some breakfast under the service of everyone.

As soon as he put down the bowl, before he could clean his hands, there was a report at the door that the princess had arrived.

Several people hurriedly went to the door to pick them up, only to see Nangong Yingyue holding Chu Ling's hand and walking over from afar, along with the second miss Chu Wei and the fourth miss Chu Mo of the Jingwang Mansion.

They greeted each other and welcomed each other into the inner room.

"I hear you're sick, but you've been taking medicine, how many days?" Nangong Yingyue sat on the couch and greeted the old lady.

"It's been three or five days, and the medicine is three times a day, but in the end, it gets better when I'm older." The old lady coughed lightly.

"I'll send the imperial doctor to take a closer look at you, your face is not very good-looking, don't give the wrong prescription." Nangong Yingyue asked the people of King Jing's Mansion to take her post to the palace to pass on the imperial doctor.

The old lady Nangong hurriedly stopped: "Don't be in a hurry at this time, there are more people who will come later, and I think it's a big deal when I see it, so I don't have to worry in vain." She slowed down and said, "After the luncheon, it's not too late to pass on the imperial doctor, and you can sit in peace." ”

Chu Ling leaned on Mu Qingyan's shoulder, and the two whispered quietly, and from time to time there was a light laugh.

Chu Wei held the eldest lady's shelf and did not squint.

Deng Min tried to get close to Chu Ling several times, but failed, and he couldn't get used to her being close to Mu Qingyan. But she didn't know that she was in a hurry and hid it badly, and the little disdain that was slightly revealed was captured by Chu Mo in an instant.

Chu Mo was born to a concubine, although she was also raised as a young lady, but her status in King Jing's Mansion was not much lower than Chu Ling. She relied on her cleverness, and often sold some well-behaved in front of Nangong Yingyue, but she really got some blue eyes, and some good things were stained with some light.

She has also often followed Nangong Yingyue in and out of Yijian Villa since she was a child, and has been in love with Nangong Yin for a long time. There is a Mu Qingyan in the middle, and the two families have been set since childhood, and it is not something that she can influence as a princess.

She also knew that Deng Min would promise it to Nangong Hao in the future, so she was selfish, and took her arm and talked affectionately.

As he spoke, the ladies and ladies in each house arrived one after another, and Yaoyueyuan was dressed and sideburns for a while.

Yijian Villa has a wide range of friends because of the name of weapons, and the old lady Nangong was also the number one person in the martial arts when he was young, and now he is favored by the saint, which adds to his dignity. It can be said that from the powerful to the rivers and lakes, it is a hot existence.

Compared with the high seats in the front hall, the backyard hides wind and rain. Under this deep mansion compound, the comparison between women should not be underestimated. Those who really hold their own noble status, people like Nangong Yingyue can be calm; Others who disdain to be in the company of others simply don't show up, and send an old housekeeper in the family to give a courtesy. Those who can come in person and don't care about it are mostly very good friends.

Chu Mo relied on Nangong Yingyue to hurt her, deliberately showing off her intelligence in front of people, shuttling among the female guests, and secretly competing with the young ladies who were not familiar with each other, and she was very active.

Deng Min was extremely gentle and dignified, holding everyone's beautiful styles, beckoning the maids to serve tea and water, and did enough gentle and virtuous kung fu.

Mu Qingyan seemed to have never seen it, and stood in front of the window with Chu Ling from a distance to look at the scene outside.

"Miss Biao seems to really think that she is the lady in charge of Yijian Villa, look at the momentum of others, and then look at you who are indisputable bears, alas!" Chu Ling pointed at Mu Qingyan's forehead, sighing and hurting her.

Mu Qingyan glared at her nonchalantly, and said faintly: "The fourth lady in your house is more pleasing than you, aren't you afraid that she will rob you of your favor?" ”

"Humph! No matter how likable it is, it's useless, the difference between the descendants and the concubine is Tianhe, can you cross it? Chu Ling glanced at Chu Mo disdainfully and said: "I don't need to do those things on the scene, it's not my identity to please and flatter, you can't see through her little tricks as others?" ”

Mu Qingyan knew that she was right, but she didn't expect that Chu Ling, who had no heart and lungs and only cared about naughty people on weekdays, was the master with a bright heart, and she underestimated her in the past.

The banquet was set up, and it was placed in the hall of Yaoyue Garden.

Yaoyue Garden occupies a large area, with a front hall connected to a painting hall and carved partition doors in the middle. There were two tables in the painting hall, and two tables in the front hall.

The old lady took the ladies to live at a table in the painting hall, and the ladies and ladies were all brought to the front hall to be accompanied by Mrs. Nangong, so there was no need to set up some rules in front of the old ladies.

The men naturally rehearsed the banquet in the hall, and for a while, Yijian Villa was full of wine and food.

The girls are reserved and don't drink, so they probably pick up a few chopsticks and put them down.

Chu Ling was tired of everyone's beautiful pretense, and pulled Mu Qingyan to stand under the corridor rather than crowd in the crowd to listen to the same beautiful words.

A little girl brought hot tea over with a tray, and Chu Ling praised her: "You are sensible, how do you know that the county lord is thinking about asking for some tea to quench his thirst?" ”

The little girl got Chu Ling's kind words, and after being happy for a while, she hung her head and replied honestly: "It was sent by Miss Cousin, and the slave didn't dare to take credit!" ”

"She's got a heart!" Chu Ling threw the teacup that was already in his hand back into the tray, frowning and displeased.

The speaker had no intention, but Mu Qingyan heard a different meaning. She casually brought another cup of tea, half-lifted the lid and pressed it to her lips.

With a shallow smile in his eyes, he talked to Chu Ling, and secretly looked at Deng Min carefully.

When Chu Ling saw Biliu coming out, he grabbed her and asked, "Listen to the spring flowers in the garden in the east blooming just right, you find someone to show me the way, and I'll go and see the freshness." ”

Mu Qingyan put down the teacup and glanced at her, and said angrily: "You want me to show you the way, just say it, why are you still tossing Sister Biliu, it's really ugly!" ”

Chu Mo heard it on the side, and she was also clamoring to follow, Mu Qingyan glanced at her lightly, and she didn't refuse.

Chu Ling also glanced at Chu Mo, then pulled Mu Qingyan's hand and walked out of Yaoyue Garden together. The three of them did not take the maid with them, and went east along the path and crossed the Moon Gate to the garden in the east.

The garden is half a hillside and is planted with many trees. A small stream flows through the garden, just when the spring breeze is warm, and the shoulder-high spring flowers on both sides of the bank see the flowers and no leaves, and the yellow is so fresh and tender.

There are small bridges erected on the stream, and there are pavilions and pavilions not far from the opposite bank, and there are rockeries and rocks, all of which are set up near the water.

The three of them crossed the small bridge and walked to the pavilion while playing, which was pleasing to the eye.

Chu Mo only cared about looking at the flowers, and didn't notice that Chu Ling, who was walking in front, had stopped, and was approaching with a flower stick to smell it, when she knocked it down the path and stepped into the mud.

"Chu Mo, are you blind?" Chu Ling yelled at Chu Mo angrily, and when he pulled out his foot, it had already stained the surface of his foot, and it had just rained yesterday night.

Chu Mo defended aggrievedly: "I didn't see you stop, it's useless for the third sister to scold me, it's better to go back and change a pair of shoes!" Her mouth was innocent, but there was a gleam in her eyes.

Mu Qingyan narrowed her eyes slightly, and persuaded quietly, "I'll accompany you back to change your shoes first, if you want to come again." ”

"It's all my fault, I'll accompany the third sister back to change." Chu Mo was guilty and hurriedly rushed to help Chu Ling, but it really seemed to have a bit of sisterly affection.

Chu Ling shrugged her hand away and said in an angry voice: "No need for you, I'll go back by myself." She turned her head to look at Mu Qingyan, frowned, and said, "Yan'er, you wait for me for a while, I'll come when I go!" ”

"The third sister is good at everything, but her temper is too big!" Seeing that Chu Ling was gone, Chu Mo didn't have any apologies left, and walked a few steps closer to Mu Qingyan, and said, "Let's go to the pavilion and talk!" ”

At this time, if Mu Qingyan didn't understand Chu Mo's meaning, then he really deserved to be sold. She lowered her eyes and followed Chu Mo into the pavilion, waiting for her next chess game.

Sure enough, Chu Mo's maid came over without half a cup of tea.

"Fourth Miss, the princess is angry, let you go back!" Although the maid was talking to Chu Mo, her eyes were secretly looking at Mu Qingyan.

Chu Mo suddenly panicked and hurriedly walked back. After crossing the bridge, he hid himself behind a flower wall, and whispered a few words in the maid's ear.

The maid comprehended and quietly went in the direction of the front hall.

After a while, Nangong Hao entered the garden from the other direction and went straight to the pavilion.

After Chu Mo left, Mu Qingyan smiled at her back. Although the smile is shallow, it is full of danger, which is extremely inconsistent with her identity as a talented and good-looking young lady in the Mu family.

After Chu Mo returned to Yaoyue Garden, he deliberately avoided Deng Min's sight, and stopped talking several times.

Deng Min was already scheming, knowing that there must be something she didn't want to know, she whispered a few words in Peiqin's ear.

In the blink of an eye, Kung Fu Peiqin came back, and said in her ear: "Miss, the fourth young lady's maid said that the second young master and Miss Yan had a private meeting in the pavilion in the East Garden!" ”

Deng Min immediately understood, it turned out that Chu Mo wanted to let him catch the traitor!

She thought hatefully in her heart: Chu Mo, do you really think you like Cousin Yin's idea, don't you know? It's just that I am sure that I will marry Nangong Hao, so I am looking forward to me going to make a scene, so as to fulfill you.

She whispered a few more words to Peiqin, and entered the painting hall like no one.
