Li Danruo entered the hall and saw Mrs. Liu get up slightly at a glance, beckoning to her with a smile on her face. \[\]

Mrs. Liu was talking to several family friends such as Mrs. Jiang and other family friends of the Ministry of Rites, Li Danruo was very familiar with Li Danruo, Li Danruo was busy stepping forward to see the ceremony one by one, and was about to sit down, Mrs. Jiang beckoned her to her side and sat down and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a while, why don't you go to see me?" Our old lady is gone, so you won't be in our house? ”

"I'm afraid of disturbing Madame." Li Danruo said euphemistically, Mrs. Jiang patted her hand and smiled: "Those things are too far away, who cares?" When the plum blossoms bloom in our garden next month, I will ask you and your aunt to come over to enjoy the plum blossoms and eat wine. ”

"Okay." Li Danruo replied with a well-behaved smile, Mrs. Jiang asked about Li Danruo's mother Yang again, Li Danruo answered one by one, didn't say much, the curtain behind the flower hall was lifted, and a girl reported crisply, Sun Xianzhong's mother, Mrs. Jiang, was wearing a big red longevity character dark pattern, full of embroidered flowers and rich silk clothes, and the white hair was inserted with a branch of the jade Ruyi hairpin, and on the other hand, she wore a red velvet palace flower decorated with gold edges.

Mrs. Xing helped Mrs. Jiang to sit on the armchair with a big red and bloody felt, everyone was lively and lively, Mrs. Xing put it to Mrs. Jiang's ear, and the voice was very loud to introduce everyone to Mrs. Jiang, outside, Sun Xianzhong led the family to kowtow in the courtyard outside, and withdrew, and several stages in the garden began to be lively.

Li Danruo was lined up with Mrs. Liu and several other first-class ladies at a table, a table next to the main table, accompanied by several elderly ladies, old ladies and several old princesses on the main table, Li Danruo looked at the position in the hall quietly, and sat in this flower hall, they are all ladies and old ladies above the third grade, and they are only one of themselves if they have no grade, I don't know where Jiang Yanming is sitting outside, it seems that this Sun Xianzhong and Concubine Liu Xian are also a confidant.

Li Danruo sat at the end of a table, paying attention to the surroundings, and didn't know what he ate or drank.

Li Danruo still sat down with Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Jiang and others to talk, watching the lively juggling outside, and for a while one threw the saucer dazzling the artist down, the heavy drum beat sounded, a slender woman in red about eighteen or nineteen years old wore gold and silver bells on her bare ankles, and in the crisp sound of bells, she swirled all the way into the stage, it was a dancing Hu Xuaner, Li Danruo was a little stunned and looked at the woman in red who spun into a ball of fire on the stage, and in a trance it seemed to be back at the birthday banquet of Mrs. Ning that year, and the red cloud was the same, The stage spun into a ball of fire so enthusiastically......

The woman in red danced a dance with the rapid drum beat and stepped off the stage, and soon appeared at the door of the flower hall, a mother-in-law led her and a middle-aged woman about forty years old, who still had charm, and came in together, kowtowed in front of Mrs. Xing and thanked the reward, the woman in red bent her knees and smiled: "Ask for the grace of Mrs., allow the slave family to borrow a glass of wine, the slave family admires Yao Tanhua, and wants to toast to Yao Tanhua's lady, and ask Mrs. for permission." ”

Mrs. Xing laughed in surprise: "You admire Yao Tanhua, why didn't you go to the front yard to pay tribute to Yao Tanhua just now?" The woman in red smiled brightly but didn't answer, a festive day, it's not a big deal, Mrs. Xing was happy and generous, raised her hand, the little girl came over with a glass of wine, the woman in red took the tray, and walked to Li Danruo on tiptoe, light and bewitching, bent her knees and said: "Slave Jiao'er, Hebei people, learned to dance since childhood, and also knows some words, admires Yao Tanhua's outstanding talent, and is willing to serve Yao Tanhua and the lady for the rest of her life, and ask for the lady's permission." ”

Li Danruo was stunned and looked at Jiao'er, who had already knelt in front of her, when did the world become so fierce and open?

The flower hall was silent for a while, and they all looked at Li Danruo and Jiao'er in front of Li Danruo, Li Danruo turned his head to look at Mrs. Xing, and saw that she was also stunned, and his heart was slightly relieved, and he turned his head to look at Jiao'e Er and asked with a smile: "You danced in the courtyard and came over?" ”

"Yes," Jiao'er held the tray high and replied a little inexplicably, Li Danruo smiled and said, "Yao Tanhua is in the front yard, didn't you see him?" Why didn't you tell Yao Tanhua about this? ”

Jiao'e's face turned red and said, "Yao Tanhua said that she had to ask her grandmother to make the decision in this matter." ”

"Oh, that's a pity, such a beautiful girl/mother, and dancing so well, she didn't make it into Yao Tanda's eyes! You not only admire Yao Tanhua, but also know his temperament, he was famous for his free and easy before he was in Tanhua, regardless of which Kabuki dancer, he took a fancy to it, he always hugged and left, and never let others make decisions for him, but Yao Tanhua is a very pitiful flower and cherished jade, and he must be unbearable to refuse you in person, let me be this wicked person. Li Danruo's voice was soft and clear, and everyone in the hall heard it clearly, and laughter broke out for a while.

Mrs. Liu turned her head to look at Mrs. Jiang and said with a smile: "Look at these five brothers, they don't fancy people and don't say it clearly, but let our women be evildoers for him!"

"No, it's abominable! Pity this young lady, he really came to find Sister Ruo'er, you say, if Sister Ruo'er can't get the fifth brother's temper, and really take it back for him, it won't be a joke? Mrs. Jiang clapped her hands and said.

"Not really!" Mrs. Xing hurriedly answered, and the hall was full of laughter, Li Danruo raised her hand to Jiao'er, and whispered in a laugh: "Girl, get up, although it is good to explore the flowers, it is useless to think about it, put aside this thought in the future and live a good life." ”

Jiao'er held the tray, stood up with a flushed face, turned around and walked half a step, turned back again, bent her knees at Li Danruo, stuffed the tray to the mother-in-law next to her, and turned around sharply and ran out.

Mrs. Xing accompanied Li Danruo and Mrs. Liu and others to laugh for a while, before going over to entertain the female relatives next to her, Mrs. Liu saw that Mrs. Xing was far away, glanced at Li Danruo, got up to ask for clothes, Li Danruo hurriedly followed out of the flower hall together, the two went to the clean room and came out, Mrs. Liu slowed down, saw that there was no one left and right, pulled Li Danruo and whispered: "You pay attention, this matter is annoying, why did they invite such a person in the house?" After a while, if Mrs. Xing looks for you to accompany the crime, if you don't say a word, you must have a number in your heart, and you have not deceived people so far, this is one, and, what does it mean that Gorou let that girl look for you? This kind of female trick, even if you take it back, it's easy to clean it up, don't be angry for a while, for such an object hurt your relationship with Goro. ”

"Don't worry, you know Wulang's temper, if you really want to accept people, I can't stop it, I have written down Mrs. Xing's matter, thank you Auntie." Li Danruo held Mrs. Liu and smiled, Mrs. Liu raised her hand and patted her chest and said, "That's good, that's good." Li Danruo took Mrs. Liu back to the flower hall, and talked with her for a while, and after watching a play, several old ladies got up to say goodbye, and Mrs. Liu and others were also ready to say goodbye and go back, and Li Danruo also said goodbye.

Mrs. Xing quietly pulled Li Danruo and said, "You take a step slowly, I have something to tell you." Li Danruo nodded in response, half a step behind, Mrs. Xing sent Mrs. Liu and others out of the flower hall, and then pulled Li Danruo to stand in a secluded corner and whispered: "I want to accompany you with a courtesy, I am really ashamed that such a thing happened today, I have already punished this Hu Xuanban to take care of things, don't take it to heart, I really didn't expect that these women outside are so rampant now." ”

"Madame is serious, this is a trivial matter, the woman of the wind and dust loves talents, isn't this often said and sung in those drum words? That Jiao'er, I was probably stupid to listen to the drums, so I did such a thing, so there are many people outside, where can I stand your gift? It's a big deal. Li Danruo responded with a smile, and Mrs. Xing was relieved when she saw Li Danruo's sincere expression, and then said with a smile: "No, no matter how good you are saying today, you see, the world is really going down, and these dusty women are actually ...... That's it. Li Danruo smiled and said a few perfunctory words, then quit Mrs. Xing came out, got into the car in the second gate, sent someone over to talk to Jiang Yanming, the car went out of the second gate, but saw Jiang Yanming was waiting outside the gate, saw Li Danruo's car coming, lifted the curtain and got into the car.

Jiang Yanming looked at Li Danruo's face carefully and said with a smile: "How many glasses of wine have you drunk?" Look at your face is a little red. ”

"Didn't have a few drinks." Li Danruo paused for a while, and then he was not very happy to respond to Jiang Yanming's words, Jiang Yanming looked at her, hesitated and asked, "Are you unhappy?" …… Nothing happened in the garden, did it? ”

"Huh?" Li Danruo turned his head and slanted at Jiang Yanming, and replied a little coldly: "I don't know what you are talking about, but there is a jumping Hu Xuan'er, saying that he admires you as a tanhualang and wants to enter the mansion to wait for you, but let me go back." ”

Jiang Yanming exhaled a long breath, patted the carriage angrily and said, "She is restless when she dances!" jumped all the way from the stage to me, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she wanted to recommend herself as a pillow, how could I ask her to do this? At that time, I rejected her, and when she left, her eyes rolled vigorously, and I was afraid that she would go inside to regenerate right and wrong, sure enough! What does she tell you? ”

Li Danruo's expression softened slightly: "Say that you let her come in to find me to be the master," Li Danruo paused, and then said: "She danced first and then came in to tell me this, I thought, if you have already moved her outside, just wait for me to nod, the people of Sun Mansion will never let her dance on stage again, and they will definitely send someone to lead her to come directly to me." ”

"Oh!" Jiang Yanming raised his hand in annoyance and patted his head: "It turns out that you guessed that I refused, alas! I see that you are unhappy, and you didn't agree because you turned over the vinegar jar, Danruo, don't look back and see it so clearly, I still think it's good that you turned over the vinegar jar. ”

Li Danruo glanced at Jiang Yanming, and the inexplicable anger in his heart dissipated most of it.
