Halfway through the hour, all the guests who went to the Wenguo Mansion to participate in the flower-viewing banquet have arrived at the Wenguo Mansion.

Duchess Wenguo Xie Shi, with her eldest daughter-in-law Li, led the guests to the small garden in the inner courtyard.

The garden of the inner courtyard of the Wenguo Mansion, although it is not as big as the outer courtyard, but there are more strange flowers and plants, the pavilions and pavilions are more delicate and elegant, and there are water pavilions rising in the pool, the upper and lower floors, the four winding corridors, it is very interesting.

Xie Shi holds this flower-viewing banquet all year round, which can be described as full of experience.

When everyone arrived, he and his eldest daughter-in-law Li took all the ladies and ladies to enjoy the flowers and scenery in the courtyard, and talked and laughed.

However, although today is a flower-viewing banquet, everyone understands in their hearts that the real purpose is to choose a family for Wen Tao.

Originally, the ladies and ladies of all families were full of energy and ready to compete for a high level.

Yes, most of these daughters are dressed up extravagantly and glamorous.

It can really be said that people are more delicate than flowers.

Among these dressed ladies, there are three others who stand out from the rest.

They are, Lu Min, the eldest lady of the Huguo Mansion, Du Wanjing, the eldest lady of the right prime minister's family, and Xie Wanrong, the niece of the Xie family.

Among these three people, Du Min is expensive but not glamorous, wearing a moon-white dark pattern silver silk long skirt, full of luxury, but not glamorous, which is also consistent with her appearance as a cold beauty who does not eat fireworks in the world on weekdays.

Du Wanjing is even more ordinary, but she is wearing a dark flower cloud brocade skirt with smoke and water, which is not inconspicuous, and she looks particularly elegant in a group of glamorous young ladies.

These two are not in the competition, and everyone vaguely understands it, so even if their beauty is not comparable to each other, and their family background is not comparable, they do not really regard the two of them as strong competitors.

What really made them care was the girl who followed Xie Shi's side, wearing a Yuehua silk double-walled cardigan skirt.

Xie just introduced that this is her niece, who came to Yejing to visit relatives and come to live with her for a few days.

I can't fault that.

There is nothing wrong with my niece going to Beijing to visit relatives and staying at her cousin's house for a few days.

However, if you don't come early or late, you come here at this time, if you want to say that you don't have any other ideas, who will believe it!

Look at this girl at the age of fourteen or fifteen, she was born with a good appearance and a quiet temperament, and at a glance you can tell that she is from everyone and has received a good upbringing.

That's right, how can the girl of the Xie clan be worse.

The daughters of all the families, who were originally busy competing for beauty, stopped the competition at this time, and they all secretly looked at Xie Wanrong.

The more I looked, the more frightened I became.

Although this woman is the niece of the Duchess of Wenguo, she is only a cousin.

Duchess Wenguo has been married to Yejing for many years, and rarely goes back to her mother's family, can she still have a deep relationship with a cousin and niece?

But now looking at the appearance of these two people, they are clearly very affectionate, and the Duchess of Wenguo treats this Xie Wanrong and is close, compared to the eldest daughter-in-law Li, it seems that it is not far behind.

This is really, why don't you secretly be suspicious......

Seeing that everyone's expressions were different, Xie Shi secretly looked at Xie Wanrong beside him, and he didn't break it, as if he didn't see it, everything was as usual.

"Today, everyone admires the face, come to the house to feast and drink, must eat and have fun, don't be polite to me, if any young lady likes the flowers in my yard later, just say, I will immediately ask someone to pick it, bring it back to the girls, and return the love of the girls to the banquet today."

As soon as Xie's words came out, everyone's expressions changed even more inexplicably.

The flowers in Xie's garden, they are all carefully served, and they are cherished tightly on weekdays, and if they are not acquaintances, they don't want to take a flower from her garden.

But today, Xie is so generous, asking everyone to choose their own, and if they fall in love, they will take it away.

Why?

Isn't it, for compensation?

What can be compensated?

Everyone pondered together, speculating on Xie's intentions.

Soon, people with clear brains and quick minds will figure it out.

His face changed suddenly, and those little thoughts in his heart suddenly died down.

Du Wanjing's mother Xu Shi was the first to react, and responded with a smile: "Sister Xie is so generous, but it's rare, in the past, I asked you for a pot of flowers, and I had to grind for a long time, since you are so generous today, then I will have to pick it later, if you pick your heart, don't feel distressed!" ”

As soon as Xu made such a joke, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed again.

Xie Shi shook the handkerchief and took a sip, and said with a smile: "What I said is to ask the girls to pick, you said that you are following what kind of fun, isn't this taking advantage of me in vain, forget it, I am happy today, it is up to you to pick it up, you can pick it out, I will also ask you to take it away." ”

When Xu Shi heard this, he hurriedly followed: "That's okay, the ladies and ladies present are all witnesses, and the Duchess of Wenguo is not allowed to regret it when she says it." ”

Xie Shi called Xu Shi to say this, he couldn't cry or laugh, pointed at Xu Shi and nodded fiercely, as if to say, tell her not to make trouble again.

The two of them said a few words back and forth, and the awkward and calm atmosphere suddenly dissipated, and everyone seemed to have returned to that harmonious appearance.

On the surface, that's pretty much it.

In fact, at this point, there are those who can think about it, and they already understand what Xie means, and they also know that they are hopeless, so they are no longer entangled.

In many cases, in fact, there are some things, when you know the result, and when you don't know the result, it is completely two different mentalities.

Some people, after knowing that the result has nothing to do with themselves, will completely let go, but some people may not be willing to let go of their hands when they can see it clearly.

What is the purpose of the Wen family's flower-viewing banquet today, everyone has heard in private, that is, to choose a relative for the second son Wen Tao.

If not, why would they come to the feast in such costumes?

However, before the banquet was set up at this time, Duchess Wenguo appeared in front of everyone with a sudden Xie Wanrong.

Moreover, he frequently makes ambiguous moves that make people misunderstood.

Everyone is accustomed to the master in the inner house, which heart eye leads to the end?

At this point, if you don't understand it, you are either really stupid or pretending to be stupid.

If this is really stupid, it is a little better, such a person, at least he will not always hope for things that do not belong to him.

But if you pretend to be stupid, it's hard to say.

This pretending to be stupid also has to be different.

One type of person pretends to be stupid, but he sees through but does not say anything, and he does not covet it, and is willing to help Xie sing the play, just like Xu and Du Wanjing's mother and daughter.

There is another category, such as Fang's and Gu Ningwei's, Qin's and Xu Ying's mother and daughter, who see it clearly, but don't want to accept their fate.

If you don't accept your fate, you have to fight.

But how can you fight?

Wen Tao's wife is destined to have only one, and now, Xie is obviously fond of his cousin and niece, do they still have a chance?
