Jia Min, who didn't have any bad things, quietly had a baby at home. On this day, she received a post from Hsieh, inviting her to attend the lotus banquet at Li's house on June 20.

"Okay, just let me go, now that my fetus is sitting firmly and my body is not unwell, why can't I go out? I've been at home for so long! Jia Min pouted and said coquettishly.

Since that robbery, Wan Mo has slept with Jia Min all night, and the relationship between the two is like a blood relative, Wan Mo is more spoiled by Jia Min, and Jia Min feels sorry for Jia Min, and Jia Min is also more dependent and respectful.

"Okay, don't be coquettish, I'm not like a master, he will promise you everything if you are coquettish."

"Wan, you don't hurt me anymore!" Jia Min said, his eyes were really red.

Wan Mo really couldn't bear it, so he said: "You are not a child, think about so many people at the lotus banquet, in case there is a bump, or listen to it, let's be at home, Ming'er will make you your favorite crispy chicken to eat!" ”

"Why do you also say that I am not a child anymore, why do you still coax me as a child?"

"Then you can ask the master!"

"Ask me what" As soon as Wan Mo's words fell, Lin Ruhai entered the house.

"Husband, tomorrow Sister Xie's family will hold a lotus feast, I am in good health now, Imperial Doctor Hu said that I am very good, and the child is also very good!" Jia Min said, pulling Lin Ruhai's sleeve and looking at him expectantly.

"Oh, it's Brother Ji Fan's lotus feast! It just so happened that I met Brother Ji Fan today, and he also gave me a post, tomorrow I will take a break, so I will accompany you! ”

When Jia Min heard this, she nodded happily, urging the green calyx to prepare clothes for her to go out tomorrow.

Wan Mo shook his head helplessly, "The master is too fond of his wife!" Will spoil my wife. ”

Lin Ruhai smiled, "No, Min'er is so well-behaved and sensible, how can she be spoiled?" ”

Wan Mo shook his head again and reluctantly resigned.

The next day, Jia Min got up early in the morning, and Lin Ruhai looked at her like a busy little bee, dressing and washing herself, combing her hair and makeup, and then helping Lin Ruhai clean up, and finally checking the gifts to be brought in person.

"So happy to be able to go out?" When the two finally sat in the carriage to the Li Mansion, Lin Ruhai asked.

"yes, I'm getting moldy when I'm at home!" After Jia Min finished speaking, he didn't forget to make a grimace to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai pinched her flushed face, "In the future, I will take more time to accompany you out!" ”

"Can't you follow you, let Dongmei, Mo Lan and Wei Zi follow?" Jia Min looked straight at Lin Ruhai with big wet eyes.

"Don't be coquettish, it's not negotiable!"

Jia Min pursed her lips in disappointment and turned her head to the side.

Soon the carriage arrived at the gate of the Li family, Lin Ruhai got out of the car, and went to the place where the men were feasting with Li Jifan. And Jia Min took the carriage to the second gate, and as soon as she got off the car, Li Ruolan greeted her, "Sister Min'er is okay?" But I'm looking forward to you. ”

"Sister Ruolan is overjoyed, I heard that you are married, but I haven't had time to congratulate my sister!"

Li Ruolan blushed slightly and said, "Thank you, Sister Min'er!" Let's go quickly, my sister-in-law is receiving Lord Jiayue, and she couldn't come to pick you up, please don't be surprised. ”

"My sister is welcome! Why is Jiayue here today? ”

"If you are allowed to come, why can't I come?" Jia Yue Xu heard Jia Min's voice, and walked over to hold Jia Min's hand, "I haven't seen you for a long time!" I said that you can't play with me when you get married! ”

"Seeing that you are about to get married, you should also take care of it, don't always think about playing, turn around and ask the eldest prince Wu if you want clothes, shoes and socks, purse fan covers, I see what you do." Jia Min said angrily. He Jiayue walked into the flower hall hand in hand.

"Mrs. Lin and the county lord of Jiayue are really affectionate, if others say these words, I'm afraid the county lord of Jiayue would have been annoyed." It was a very beautiful girl who spoke, with willowy eyebrows and almond eyes, and a pointed chin, which was a little mean.

"At this time, our aunt's cousin is named Xiang Xiaoqin, her father is the prefect of Yingtianfu, and she came to Beijing to participate in the general election." Xie Shi hurriedly introduced, and the dislike in his eyes could not be hidden from Jia Min.

"Huh! You say as if I love annoyance? But one thing you said is right, Min'er and I are indeed sisters, so don't bully Min'er, or I won't spare people! Lord Jiayue said, raising his chin high, and glanced at Xiang Xiaoqin.

Xiang Xiaoqin was annoyed in her heart, but she didn't dare to offend the county lord of Jiayue, so she had to stare at Jia Min hatefully. Jia Min saw his heart and said: I didn't say a word, do you hate me?

Xie Shi introduced the wives of several officials to Jia Min, and everyone sat down after greeting each other.

Xie Shi pulled Jia Min to look at it for a moment, "Look at your complexion, are you very happy?" ”

"It's okay, I don't have much joy, but occasionally I get nauseous in the morning."

"Then you are less offended, I two boys, you didn't toss me less at that time."

"Min'er, mother said, go back and find you two proper nurses." The county lord of Jiayue sat down next to Jia Min, holding one of Jia Min's arms with both hands.

"Then thank you Eldest Princess! My husband is also looking for it, but I haven't found a suitable one. ”

"No thanks! You go back and ask your husband for a word, Wu Shaojun saw his words in his brother's study that day, and I liked it very much, I promised to help him ask for it. ”

"Okay, no problem! I'll let him write when I get back in the evening. ”

At this time, Xiang Xiaoqin spoke again, "Which calligrapher is Mrs. Lin's husband?" ”

Jia Min smiled and said: "My husband is just an ordinary literati, how dare you call everyone, but the county lord can afford it!" ”

Mrs. Liu of the Criminal Department said, "Mrs. Lin is too modest, in this capital, who doesn't know that Lord Lin's words have entered the emperor's eyes, and now he accompanies the emperor every day, and now the holy decree is ghostwritten by Lord Lin." ”

"Emperor Longen, just lift him up!"

For a while, everyone began to say words complimenting Lin Ruhai.

Xiang Xiaoqin has only been in the capital for two days, and she wanted to take advantage of this lotus banquet to have a good relationship with the county lord of Jiayue, but she knew that the county lord of Jiayue was so difficult to please, she found a lot of topics, but the county lord of Jiayue did not answer, and kept asking Xie Shi next to her: Why hasn't Jia Min come yet. Therefore, before Jia Minren came, he was hated by Xiang Xiaoqin. After Jia Min came, she heard that Jia Min's husband was Tanhua, or was he still the fifth generation of liehous, the head of the Lin family, a scholarly family. This made her even more jealous of Jia Min, and seeing the county lord of Jiayue so close to Jia Min, it was even more unpleasant to look at Jia Min. She didn't understand, Lin Ruhai was just a six-grade Hanlin Academy editor, was it worth so many people to meet?

At this time, a maid came to report: A banquet has been prepared on the lotus pond. Xie led a group of ladies, Li Ruolan led a group of girls, and everyone went to a water pavilion in the south of the lotus pond.

"Today, I invite all the ladies and ladies to come to the house to enjoy this pond of lotus flowers together. Let's see, but it's still in your eyes? ”

"Grandma Li said with a smile, if the lotus flower in your house is not in sight, you can't find a better one." Jiayue County Main Road.

"With such a beautiful view, why don't we make a few poems to meet the situation?" Li Ruolan proposed.

"Good! When I was in Jinling, the ladies of the official family also liked to write poems and paintings when they got together. Xiang Xiaoqin immediately agreed, she recognized her outstanding talent, and when she was in Jinling, few of her poems could be outstanding. As everyone knows, everyone will curry favor with her because of her status as the daughter of the prefect of Tianfu. Xiang Xiaoqin still has the idea of making Jia Min ugly!

"Mrs. Lin is Mrs. Tanhua, Mrs. Lin is outstanding in learning, and Mrs. Lin must also be amazingly talented, so please ask Mrs. Lin to come first." As soon as Xiang Xiaoqin's words came out, everyone echoed them. Xiang Xiaoqin didn't know that except for her, almost everyone here knew Jia Min's fame, and others thought that she was trying to save face for the unreasonable just now.

Jiayue looked at Xiang Xiaoqin meaningfully, "Are you sure you want Min'er to do it first?" ”

"Of course!"

Xie Shi sneered and said, "Min'er, you come quickly, don't let people underestimate it!" ”

Jia Min is already married, and she doesn't want to be in the limelight, but in the face of others' malicious provocations, she will not be a turtle with a shrunken head. She walked to the edge of the lotus pond and looked at a pond of lotus flowers that were just in bloom, with Mo Lan and Wei Zi guarding her left and right. After a while, she turned to face the crowd and chanted softly: "The slender figure is light and elegant, and the bright and delicate face is lofty." Look at the wind and rain in the independent world, and laugh at other flowers together. ”

A moment of silence was followed by applause and applause.
