Chapter 52 is not simple
The ladies are all on the side of the door.
Cheng Ziyu in the crowd quietly glanced around.
There are really a lot of girls attending the banquet today, and in terms of the number of people, I am afraid that it is not worse than the time difference between Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang's birthday two years ago.
Are they all coming to see famous flowers?
Moreover...... You're so excited, huh?
She looked at it again and understood!
It's a ...... Rare, like Shangyuan, men and women do not shy away from mixed feasts!
A few years ago, the lake was divided into two sides, one for men and the other for women. And this time, not only did the veil on the Jade Belt Bridge be removed, but even the water pavilion in the lake was opened.
"This year's lotus banquet, there are more than a dozen famous lotus have been opened! The old lady means around the lotus, around the lake, around the scenery, the name of the lotus is really not easy to open, if you stick to etiquette and lose this once-in-a-year beauty, isn't it a pity?
In order to let everyone feast their eyes, in the second half of the feast, the girls can choose to sit by the lake, or talk around about the scenery, of course, if you want to go boating on the lake, you can enjoy the famous lotus up close! ”
The aunt of the Wang family's housekeeper greeted the guests and explained in detail.
By the lake, there are indeed delicate boats......
That's what a group of women are ...... The reason for the enthusiasm!
Before the flowers, the summer breeze is smoky, looking at flowers or people, it is an excellent opportunity for the school-age boys and girls!
A woman like Fahrenheit is afraid that she will have to take a daughter like Cheng Qingyu to shuttle between celebrities from different walks of life, and take a look at each other through a visit......
If I had known that this was such a banquet today, wouldn't I have to dress up as a maid? Cheng Ziyu originally thought that it was inconvenient to move around, so she planned to use her body to blend into the men's guest area...... At the moment, it seems that she is too worried.
Cheng Ziyu was half a step behind Jiang Yuxuan and helped her walk slowly.
Jiang Yuxuan is like this, she is not in good health, has an average family background, has a cold temperament, and her appearance is not outstanding, except for a few polite greetings along the way, she naturally can't attract much attention.
Even the girls of the Wang family who greeted guests at the entrance of the garden only politely said "welcome" and skipped a few of them......
And Jiang Yuxuan is a smart person, she guessed that Cheng Ziyu's trip was either asking for something or exploring. She remembered that Cheng Ziyu had suffered a great disaster on the mountain some time ago, and she expected that even if she was as famous as Siniang, she might not be able to do everything as she wanted, and she felt pity in her heart, and she didn't ask a word. On the contrary, when someone came over, he deliberately leaned forward and slightly helped Cheng Ziyu block it.
"Four Little ...... Fourth, Mrs. Wang is in front, I have to go and say hello. ”
"Miss Jiang, go! Thank you very much! ”
Cheng Ziyu saw at a glance Hua's who was making Mrs. Wang laugh in front of her, her mother He Shi, who was standing dignified and pulling Cheng Hongyu to talk to the two noble ladies, and Cheng Qingyu, who was obediently accompanying her, but her eyes did not stop......
Cheng Ziyu didn't want to be recognized at this time, so he only lowered his head and lowered his head with the painting, tried his best to pick a path with few people, and "strolled" all the way along the periphery of the lake......
This whole back garden is already full of people.
In addition, almost everyone's attention is either in flowers or people, and ordinary maids like them who walk in the dark really don't have half of the attention. They walked around for half a cup of tea without being slow or slow, and they never talked nonsense with anyone.
Cheng Ziyu's attention slowly fell not far away.
There is an octagonal pavilion of considerable size, built slightly higher, directly out of the lake. In this way, you can enjoy the summer breeze in the pavilion, and you can also enjoy the famous lotus in the surrounding lake, which is undoubtedly the best location for the whole garden to enjoy the lotus.
There are three tables in this pavilion, which is obviously the main table.
The rest of the seats are scattered on both sides of the pavilion and in the open space on the east side of the lake......
Cheng Hao, his position should be in the gazebo.
Cheng Ziyu watched coldly, and saw Cheng Hao swimming among the crowd like a fish in water.
He has a good relationship with Wei Zhixian, and at this moment, the two of them are talking at the same table. The rest of the people at the same table included the head of the second family of Jingxi, the master of the He family; a few distinguished guests who speak Jinling dialect; two officials of the Weaving Bureau; a well-known local literati painter; Several celebrities and their sons, collectors who met Cheng Ziyu......
In addition, there is also a strong man about thirty years old, with sharp eyes and familiar eyes, but she can't remember who it is after thinking for a long time......
Cheng Hao sat down at the table next to him after being lively for a while. Sitting across from him was a young man with peach blossom eyes flying around.
As soon as Cheng Ziyu signaled, he stepped aside from the painting.
I found a little maid in the palace and handed two silver bills out. The little maid quickly connected with the maid who was in charge of the tea on the front table......
This kind of thing, if Cheng Ziyu, who was proud four years ago, stood here, not only did he disdain to do it, but he would have to scoff at it!
When she arrived in the capital, she didn't even know that the doorway in the back house was not simpler than in the front yard. This is the case in the palace, the palace of King An is like this, and the banquet of a small Jingxi is naturally the same.
This can be seen from the bulging purses on the waists of the girls who serve tea and water at the front! Especially when this kind of mixed banquet, there will be no shortage of people who inquire about the identity of "VIPs".
The news came right away.
Sitting opposite Cheng Hao was none other than the high prince of Yangzhou.
Cheng Ziyu snorted, he didn't expect it, he knew that he would come! Even if it is not for trading, his ship will have to wait for three more days, and Cheng Hao owes him a personal favor because of the paperwork, if this lively Gao Gongzi is left out in the cold on such an occasion, it is really unreasonable!
As for the strong man at the main table, the maid who brought tea and water listened there for a long time, but she didn't understand who it was. It is only said that the magistrate seems to attach great importance to him, and his words are also very respectful......
Cheng Ziyu couldn't help but press her head.
The magistrate is an old fritter, and he can make him respectful, and his status is naturally not low.
Who is it?
The point is, why does this guy make her feel dangerous subconsciously? ……
The whole back garden is beautiful against the backdrop of five-color gauze lanterns. The lakeside is as bright as day.
To talk about this Wang family, Cheng Ziyu has been here many times.
Every time she came, the ladies of the Wang family chattered around her, a "good sister", and her scalp was tingling with enthusiasm.
Today, the young ladies are surrounded by Cheng Qingyu! The girl was surrounded by the purple and red girls, but she caught the eye with her plain dress.
In this way, her longing for displacement, but she has a rather elegant demeanor, and for a while she has gained a lot of inquiries from female relatives and the blue eyes of her son.
Fahrenheit was used, and he laughed like a trumpet flower.
Cheng Ziyu also noticed that there were many fresh faces of the male guests present today. She was sure that these people were definitely not Jingxi natives!
This feast is not simple!
