Mei Mansion is the largest mansion in the capital, and its lord, General Mei, was the commander of the Privy Council at that time, the supreme commander of the forbidden army, and was in charge of the 400,000 troops in the northwest, and no one in the court dared to underestimate it. General Mei's only daughter, Mei Shuyao, is nineteenth birthday today, and the ministers of the DPRK and China squeezed their heads and wanted to enter the mansion to celebrate, but Mei Shuyao threw out a sentence, "Only ladies under the age of 20 are invited to enter the mansion." ”

Le Yi followed the crowd, the Mei Mansion was magnificent, the rockery and flowing water pavilions and buildings, the maids and maids came and went like shuttles, the wooden buildings were high, the dancers and musicians threw their sleeves like clouds, and there was a peaceful scene around, Le Yi had never seen or heard of it, and he did not dare to take one more step. The three younger brothers-in-law were familiar with Mei Shuyao before they left the pavilion, and when they met at this time, they chatted non-stop under the corridor. In addition, several women from large families in Bianjing were smiling on the side, they were warblers and swallows, frolicking, and extremely comfortable.

The maidservants brought jade liquid elixir, soup and desserts, and placed them on the railing, the window eaves, and the small pestle like flowing water, and anyone could pick it up and eat it. Le Yi saw a plate of green and yellow fruits and looked cute, so he picked one up and put it in his mouth, but it was crisp and refreshing, the entrance was fresh, sweet and sour, and he couldn't help but admire, "It's delicious." ”

When the second brother and daughter-in-law heard this, they laughed and rolled their eyes, leaned into the eldest daughter-in-law's ear and muttered a few words, and the two suddenly laughed, causing Mei Shu to look over, "What's the fun thing, just steal the fun yourself, tell me to listen to it, let me have fun too." ”

Everyone respects Mei Shuyao, and the eldest daughter-in-law can't refuse, but she also cares about the face of the family, and it's not good to say that Leyi has no knowledge outside, so she smiled and said: "Do you remember the concubine of the eldest lady of the Lin family?" The little concubine was originally a dancing girl in the Orihua Pavilion, and Lin Guanren only redeemed herself at the beginning of the year, saying that she was pregnant. How do you know that a few days later, a scholar came to the door, saying that the little concubine was pregnant with her own child, and that Xue Shisanniang had already promised the little concubine to him, and now she is making a lot of trouble! ”

Such a novel and strange thing really attracted everyone's attention, the eldest daughter-in-law was proud, covered her mouth exaggeratedly, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Lin won't be here, right?" ”

A girl from a family covered her mouth and smiled: "No wonder she has been invited to go green several times, but she is always unpleasant." ”

Mei Shuyao smiled disdainfully, "I dare to marry a dancing girl from a brothel, I deserve to be in her house!" When I get married, if I want to accept someone with the same status as me, it's just that, if it's low, no one is allowed to enter the door! The eldest daughter-in-law flattered: "With your status, how can there be a woman from a family in Beijing who can sit on an equal footing with you!" The princess is pretty much the same. ”

There was a sound of drumming from the east, and the maidservant stepped forward to bless herself, "Big lady, the banquet has been set up, please go to the small east courtyard for dinner." ”

Mei Shu bowed his head and led everyone along the corridor to the courtyard. Le Yi followed behind her silently, neither wanting to speak, nor knowing what to say, everything around her was too strange to her, and she felt both restrained and apprehensive.

When everyone reached the halfway point, a person turned out of the garden crossway, and the ladies who accompanied them panicked and hurriedly turned their backs to avoid the flowers. Le Yi stood in the middle of the road, in her heart, the sky is blue and the sky is white, and it is common for men and women to meet by chance, and there is nothing to avoid. The eldest daughter-in-law saw that Le Yi didn't know the etiquette at all, and she didn't have time to preach, so she pulled her to the rockery, and was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Mei Shuyao's expression was indifferent, she looked at the man in front of her awe-inspiringly, and said, "Lord Xia, I don't seem to have invited you!" ”
