Chapter 34: Sneaking over the wall
The flower-viewing banquet in the Wenguo Mansion has to be held almost once a month.
But even so, it still attracted the wives and ladies of the noble families in Beijing every time.
Everyone understands that flower appreciation is virtual, and blind date is real.
This is also the key to the enthusiasm of the ladies and ladies of all families.
It is the Wenguo Mansion, the mother's home of the queen, the foreign home of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the Wenguo Mansion that has been favored for several generations.
Even though Wen Tao is not the son of the world, but only the second son, these are nothing in the eyes of the daughters who are crazy about him.
What happened to the second son?
The second son of Wen, Yushu Linfeng, chic and handsome, looks better than Pan An, and is known as the head of the four sons of Kyoto.
Several others, such as Lu Shizi of the Protectorate Mansion, Du Gongzi of the Right Prime Minister's family, and Lin Gongzi of the Lin Taifu family, are all slightly inferior to them, so the second son is not bad compared to his eldest brother Shiziye!
Of course, the more important reason is because Wen Guogong's son, Wen Tao's eldest brother Wen Hao has already married a wife and had children, and the relationship between husband and wife is very harmonious, and he has no intention of taking a concubine, so it is even more impossible to marry a flat wife.
Mrs. Shizi is not a papier-mΓ’chΓ©, I heard that the master is a good hand, you want to kick off Mrs. Shizi to take the position, it is difficult!
Since the wife of the prince is hopeless, it is not a loss to get the wife of the second son!
Who let it, who let the second son look good.
Wen Tao instantly died of fish eyes: "......" looks so guilty of it?
Fan Girl: Of course you are guilty! You have accepted our hearts, you can't pull it back, you don't marry into the Wenguo Mansion, and you vow not to give up!
Because he knew this, Wen Tao decisively ran over the wall at the moment before the flower-viewing banquet began.
Duchess Wen Guo was about to go out to greet the guests when she learned that her son had run over the wall.
Duchess Wenguo Xie: "......" stinky boy, wait until you come back to see the old lady and don't break your legs!
Seeing that her mother-in-law's face had changed, Mrs. Li hurriedly waved a small handkerchief to ease others.
While reassuring at the same time: "Mother Mo Qi, the second brother must have something important, so he was in a hurry to go out, the guests will arrive soon, let's invite people to the house to enjoy the flowers, don't you lose the courtesy, the peony carefully served in the warm room is not blooming, just invite all the ladies and ladies to take a look together, enjoy the flowers, isn't it a fresh." β
Duchess Wenguo calmed down under the gentle words of her eldest daughter-in-law and regained her senses.
smiled and patted her daughter-in-law's hand, praised it, "It's still my son who knows the mother's mind best", and then took his daughter-in-law to the front hall.
Yes, the daughter-in-law is right, she is inviting people to enjoy the flowers, so isn't it right to enjoy the flowers, drink tea, and eat snacks?
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to the front hall together.
Soon, a mother-in-law came to report that Mrs. Hou and the eldest lady of the Yongning Hou Mansion had arrived.
When Duchess Wen Guo heard this, she hurriedly took her daughter-in-law to greet the guests.
The two sides met in front of the Hanging Flower Gate.
Duchess Wen Guo saw Mrs. Fang of Yongning Hou and greeted her enthusiastically.
Then he held the person before the Fang clan bent down to salute, and said with a polite smile: "Sister Fang is early, please come inside." β
Fang's knees straightened up with Duchess Wenguo's hand, and his attitude was very affectionate, "Sister Xie invited, how dare I not come, I just want to come on weekdays, and I'm afraid that my sister will be annoyed if she sees too much, today is a rare good opportunity, but I came early in the morning." β
Their mother and daughter went out early in the morning, in order to be the first to step into the gate of Wenfu, and now it seems that it should be done.
After saying this, the Fang clan hurriedly touched his concubine again, and said, "Ning Wei, come and meet the Duchess and the Prince." β
Gu Ningwei listened to her mother's words, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
"Little girl Ning Wei, I have seen the Duchess of the Kingdom and the Lady of the Prince."
The posture of Yingying worshipping is just like a weak willow supporting the wind, and the voice is crisp like a yellow warbler out of the valley, coupled with the hibiscus jade face, it is really a very outstanding character.
Duchess Wen Guo and her daughter-in-law exchanged glances, and then they both smiled and asked Gu Ningwei not to be polite.
Not long after the Gu family's mother and daughter arrived, the wives and ladies of other families also arrived one after another.
Duchess Wenguo and her daughter-in-law set up refreshments in the warm pavilion and invited everyone to go in to drink tea and talk.
After drinking a cup of tea, the dim sum barely moved, but many people began to stretch their necks to look at the door of the warm pavilion.
Duchess Wenguo was a little upset when she saw it, and after scolding her son over and over again in her heart, she smiled gracefully and got up to say to everyone: "A few days ago, the peony cultivated in the greenhouse at home opened, quite gorgeous, I know that all the ladies and ladies are also people who cherish flowers and love flowers, thinking that the peony is fresh after all, so I sent someone to send a post to invite you to come to the house to have a look, and I hope you don't blame me for a lot of things." β
When everyone heard this, they almost understood.
It seems that today is really just a flower viewing, and nothing else is mentioned.
The crowd was disappointed.
But Duchess Wenguo has said so, who in the seat can not sell her face?
Therefore, everyone is busy regaining their smiles, regardless of whether he is sincere or fake, and only concentrates on flattery first.
Of course, there are also many people who disdain this, these people are either on par with the Wenguo Mansion, or they are the sincere handkerchiefs of the Duchess of Wenguo.
For example, the two ladies of the Protector's Mansion.
The eldest lady Zheng has a big heart, and the in-laws she looks at are not the Wenguo Mansion, and this time she came just to show the face of the Wenguo Duchess, and it is not easy to refuse, so she brought her daughter to make a show.
And the Duchess Lin was sincerely invited.
She and the Duchess of Wenguo Xie is a handkerchief, the true friendship in the boudoir, Xie invited her to come over today, not really to enjoy the flowers.
Wen Tao and Lu Zheng are the same age, and they are both old enough to see each other's relatives.
Wen Tao makes people anxious, but Lu Zheng makes people even more anxious.
But no matter how anxious they are, they can't stand the stinky boy at home who is not in a hurry.
Duchess Wen Guo thought of her son who ran away, and her resentment was instantly full again.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world......
Wen Tao, who was walking on the street at this time, suddenly sneezed loudly.
"Young master, what's wrong with you, isn't it a cold?" Changfeng saw that his young master was sneezing, and hurriedly asked.
Wen Tao rubbed the bridge of his nose, and then waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly, "It's okay, my body is good, how can I catch a cold!" Hurry up, save yourself a little bit of a call for peace... Tell her to wait for us. β
Changfeng knew who Wen Tao's "she" was referring to, and he didn't say much, just quickened his pace and tried to keep up with Wen Tao's pace.
Every time the young master goes to see Miss An Sheng, his interest is very high, his two legs are like Hot Wheels, and he walks fast, if he doesn't hurry up, he should lose people later.
After Wen Tao's master and servant left, there were a bunch of fan sisters who looked at the handsome and smiling faces of Wen Ergongzi behind him, throwing off the handkerchief and sending them off.
And Miss An Sheng, who is in the mouth of the long wind, is in a big trouble at the moment.
