For a few days in a row, the lively and festive atmosphere at home has not diminished, and Master Yu has been visiting visitors outside the front yard in addition to the first day of the Lunar New Year in Xiuhe Courtyard.

Although Mrs. Yu has to avoid the door these days, she still has to entertain Master Yu when a guest visits.

But for some reason, since Old Master Yu did not go to Huaichun Courtyard on Chinese New Year's Eve, Chen Zhenhui and Yu Xueling also quieted down, except for the first day of the new year to ask Mrs. Yu for peace, the two of them have stayed in Huaichun Courtyard, and Aunt Chen's words are much more restrained than usual, even Yu Xueling saw her, there was less cynicism, I really don't know what the two of them were stimulated.

On the fourth day of the first month, Lord Yu and Mrs. Yu went to the ancestral hall to worship, and there was a welcoming ceremony early this morning, saying that the gods who went to heaven for the New Year should return to the ground, continue to work for people, and bless people with a safe and smooth year.

There is also a grand ceremony to welcome the gods at the altar, although I feel bored at home at first, I don't want to join in the fun at all, I look at some wild history and novels in the garden of eyebrows, this ancient novel will inevitably feel a little cliché when reading, and it is a beautiful love story that is overly yearning, different from modern love, and there are always more calculations.

Time seems to be moving forward smoothly with a brisk pace, and Hatsumi is also staying at home in a quiet attitude, no longer wanting to go out with extreme curiosity, she practices calligraphy, reads, strokes the piano, exercises, feels the long stream of time pass through her fingers, and lives very leisurely.

Before I knew it, it was the Lantern Festival.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, the sun is extraordinarily bright, and the flower appreciation is held in the Moon Villa on the outskirts of Ningcheng, and it is heard that it is held by the wife of the city lord, inviting the unmarried sons and girls in the city to enjoy the flowers and scenery in the villa, naturally, and the beauty.

When the state of Qining was first established, the monarch abolished the feudal system of the princes and set up the position of city lord.

Generally speaking, most of the unmarried girls invited are the daughters of official eunuchs, and girls from Shangjia's family are usually not among the invitees, but they received invitations at first sight.

At first sight, it was naturally different from other merchants, her mother Qi Jiao herself was from a noble background, and although she was a businessman, the Yu family was also a famous family, and her wealth was very influential in Ningcheng.

When I first saw going out, I saw another carriage next to her, and Yu Xueling walked out of the arch elegantly, holding a brightly colored invitation in her hand, with a smug smile on her lips, she swept the corner of her eyes at the first sight, and got into the carriage by herself, Hongxing followed her, and drank coquettishly, and the carriage moved forward slowly.

"Why did the big girl get the invitation too?" Lingyu is suspicious, not to mention that Yu Xueling's identity and status are not invited, she is just a concubine, and it stands to reason that Mochizuki Villa will not send a post to her.

Chu Jian smiled faintly, took Lingyu's hand and got into the carriage, the heavy velvet curtain was lowered, and the brilliant and dazzling sunlight was projected through the gap in the curtain, flickering with the shaking of the carriage.

Looking at the invitation in his hand, he only felt that his head was full of black lines at first sight, how could this city lord's wife be so interested in being a matchmaker, saying that it was a good flower award, but in fact it was just a blind date in disguise.

"Second girl, aren't you curious?" Lingyu saw that her attitude was bland when she first saw it, she was even more angry.

Chu Jian smiled, "Aunt Chen is very capable, why is it difficult to get an invitation?" ”

When I first saw it, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, that Chen Zhenhui's arrogance was just a few days off, on the fourth day of the new year, Master Yu came back from the ancestral hall, stayed in Xiuhe Courtyard and was about to have lunch with Mrs. Yu and Chu Jian, someone came from Huaichun Courtyard, saying that Aunt Chen had a high fever and did not go away, and shouted to see Master Yu, although there was hesitation in the eyes of Master Yu, but his mind could not hide from Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Yu smiled and asked him to go to Huaichun Courtyard, but he angrily swept a table of food after Master Yu left.

It was the first time I saw Lady Jade and got angry.

She clearly remembered Mrs. Yu's tearful resentment that day, "I shouldn't have expectations, and with expectations, I have today's despair." ”

The mother was desperate and no longer expected anything from the father.

And after the fourth day of the new year, his father stayed in Huaichun Courtyard for a few days, although he went to Xiuhe Yuan to talk to his mother in the middle, and his attitude was still intimate and guilty, but the rare harmony and sweetness between him and Mrs. Yu were gone, and he returned to the strangeness and politeness before.

Master Yu has love for his mother, but he has been with Chen Zhenhui for many years, and he is also affectionate, and he can't give his mother what she wants at all.

And Aunt Chen has returned to her usual publicity, her smile is dyed with the spring breeze, which is in stark contrast to her mother's melancholy, so it is not surprising that Yu Xueling can get the invitation, and her father must have helped one or two.

Chen Zhenhui is a person who knows how to be satisfied and self-aware, so she can not mind how much she has in Master Yu's heart, so she can stand behind Master Yu willingly and give him the tenderness and tolerance that Mrs. Yu did not give.

Soon, the carriage boarded the official road leading to the suburbs, and there were cedar trees planted on both sides of the official road, and the bud clusters of the cedar branches were already quite fat and tender, shining in the sun.

"It's a nice day." Looking at the vibrant scenery outside the window, I couldn't help but sigh at first sight.

"God is beautiful, today is a good day to get married." Lingyu looked at the first meeting, she believed that with the superb appearance of the second girl, she would definitely attract the attention of countless men in Mochizuki Villa.

"Well, today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is our national Valentine's Day." At first sight, she muttered to herself, as if she hadn't really spent a romantic Valentine's Day.

"What?" Lingyu couldn't hear it clearly, and leaned closer to the first meeting.

Chumi smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing, it's almost to Mochizuki Villa, right?" ”

"Well, it's almost here, and the city lord's wife is really strange, why don't you hold the flowers in your own house, you have to go to a remote suburb, second girl, you see, a few steps out of the city." After sitting in the carriage for a long time, Lingyu couldn't help but complain.

"What kind of place is this Mochizuki Mountain Villa?" It sounds a bit of a river and lake meaning.

"I heard that it used to be a very famous mountain villa, but then it declined, and the owner of the village was familiar with the city lord's wife, and agreed to rent the garden of Nuoda to the city lord's mansion to do this flower award, this Ningcheng is so big, and only the garden of Mochizuki Villa is big enough to accommodate many people." Lingyu and Hatsumi talked about the history of Mochizuki Villa by hearsay.

When I heard this, I nodded in surprise, "This Mochizuki Villa should have been a prosperous and glorious family." ”

"yes, it's been so long, no one remembers." Lingyu echoed, she hadn't seen the glory of this villa.

"Here we are." Chu Jian lifted the curtain and said in a low voice.

The high red tile wall, the green glazed tile hilltop building, is magnificent, and the lime of the wall shows signs of peeling, but it does not damage its former glory at all.

Black lacquer plaque, gilded, official book, the title is expected to be Moon Villa, the font is strong and powerful. The plaque is black and mottled, looking a little vicissitudes, although this mansion has a prosperous and luxurious past, but it still shows the lack of repair.

In the open space outside the door, many gorgeously decorated carriages were parked, and I vaguely felt the lively atmosphere coming from the villa.

"Let's go inside!" After getting off the carriage, I stepped on the white jade steps safely and walked into the Moon Villa step by step.
