Because Shu Fangyin has been punished, she has been very peaceful these days, and this abnormality has made Shu Manyin rarely clean, and she withdrew all the people sent to keep an eye on her, and Zicao was a little uneasy: "Miss, is this good?" If something happens over there, we don't know what to do. ”

"Don't worry, she won't have time to get along with me during this time." Shu Manyin is directing Lilac in her house to prune and weed the flower beds in the yard.

More than 20 days is the Xia Yuan Festival, originally this day is a big day to pray for blessings and sacrifices, the emperor will also bring the queen, the princes and civil and military officials to sacrifice together, this has nothing to do with them, the previous annual Xia Yuan Festival is in their respective homes to worship the ancestors, together to eat bean paste bones or shadow cakes.

But in her memory, this year's Xia Yuan Festival is afraid to be a little different, in the past, the Xia Yuan Festival is divided into three altars and nine kinds, the upper three altars are set up for the country, the middle three altars are set up for the ministers, and the lower three altars are set up for the Shishu, and this year because the old emperor had a serious illness, it took more than three months to recover, and the queen therefore expanded the scope of prayer, but the family members of the officials above the third grade invited the palace banquet together, sacrificed to the sky and prayed for blessings, and the queen also had a will to find some young women for the old emperor to enter the palace to rejoice.

Two days ago, my mother received the order, but Chongxi should not publicize this matter, but secretly told Shu Manyin, but Shu Manyin quietly dispersed the news to Shu Fangyin, but it is unknown whether it was passed on to the old emperor Chongxi, you must know that there are still several princes under the old emperor who have not yet married, if Shu Fangyin is smart, she will not act rashly, if she commits something, it will not be Shu Manyin's intention.

Shu Fangyin really didn't have the heart to fight with Shu Manyin recently, on the contrary, if she could, she would really want to brush up her good feelings. Two days ago, she bought a maid, and got the news that Zhou had received the queen's will, and this time she was going to the palace banquet on the Xia Yuan Festival, and said that the palace wanted to take advantage of this to see women for happy events, and Zhou had secretly found Shu Manyin.

Shu Fangyin was so overjoyed when she got the news, it was really God who helped me, I originally thought that such an opportunity would have to wait until the Lantern Festival or the Flower God Festival in the spring of next year, so that she would have a fair and honest reason to go out together. But I didn't expect that someone would send a pillow when I was really sleepy, and I had a chance so soon, and this opportunity was not only for the children of the official family, but also for the royal daughter-in-law.

Although she couldn't figure it out, why should she look at each other on a sacrificial day like the Xia Yuan Festival, but the great joy and hope that could be seen overwhelmed her mind, and the thought of the second prince Wei Chi asking the appearance of the handsome gentleman was enough to make her little deer bump, if she could take such a good opportunity to get acquainted with the second prince, she believed that with her own means, the future glory and wealth would be just around the corner, then she would be the princess from now on, and when the time came, Shu Manyin would not even be qualified to lift shoes for her.

Shu Fangyin has been practicing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting hard these days, in order to look forward to which dignitaries and nobles she can be liked. In addition to practicing diligently, she also brushes her sense of existence in front of Zhou from time to time, sending a pastry made by herself today, and a soup boiled by herself tomorrow, only hoping that Zhou can take her to the palace banquet.

On this day, Shu Manyin sent the morning dew collected from the plum petals in these days to Zhou's place, and let people boil it to make plum blossom tea. This plum blossom tea is also made by Shu Manyin these days by letting people pick fresh and dry it, so she took some and sent it to Zhou's yard.

"Mother, try this plum blossom tea, it's very fragrant." Shu Manyin flipped her wrist, added a small spoonful of honey to Zhou's teacup, and handed it to Zhou.

"Man'er's tea is chic, and I feel happy when I look at this plum blossom." Zhou picked up the cup and took a sip: "This tea not only has the tranquility of plum blossoms, but also has a sweet taste, which is very good." Zhou likes this tea very much, Shu Manyin also sent a part of the plum blossoms to the old lady, the old lady is old, especially like strong tea, Shu Manyin is worried that her grandmother will drink too much strong tea will affect her sleep, so she spent some thought and made this plum blossom tea.

The old man is like a child, he loves to drink strong tea and has a sweet tooth. It was too much, Shu Manyin was worried that her grandmother's two preferences would hurt her, so she thought of a way to make some fresh food, which was not too sweet, but it was also in line with her grandmother's wishes.

"How is Man'er's tea garden last time?" Zhou was drinking plum blossom tea and suddenly remembered that his daughter had bought a tea garden, and couldn't help but ask more.

"Mother, this year's tea is over, when my daughter took over, most of the tea had been sold, and the rest of the daughters let people get up first, so I thought about sending a few handkerchiefs to the family first, so that they could also taste the taste, and next year's new tea will be sold." Shu Manyin wanted to advertise this year's tea, and by the way, she became famous, and she also knew which households this tea was favored by everyone with the memory of her previous life.

"That's a way to go, but Man'er is confident that this tea will be sold?" Seeing her full of confidence, Zhou was a little curious.

"Mother is afraid that I don't know, although this tea is bitter in the mouth, but my daughter has studied for a few days, this tea needs to be drunk with citrus to be more flavorful, not only with its own tea fragrance, but also left the fruity aroma of citrus Qingchun, and more special is that this citrus has a rational atmosphere, spleen and stomach, dry and damp phlegm, eliminate accumulation and stagnation, but it has a different taste."

"Oh? Does it really work? Zhou listened curiously, she hadn't heard that this citrus and tea could go together.

"Naturally, after a while, when the tea in the tea garden is baked, my daughter will send some to her father, and her grandmother and grandmother will send some." Shu Manyin thought very thoughtfully.

"Man'er is really big, and she is more thoughtful, and she is very happy for her mother." Zhou looked at the daughter of Hui Zhenlanxin in front of him, and the satisfied smile in his eyes never stopped.

The mother and daughter were talking, when they suddenly heard Huang Ying's voice outside the door: "I've seen the second miss." ”

The two put down the tea in their hands, and Zhou looked at Shu Manyin and smiled helplessly: "These two girls are here again today." ”

"It's okay, Mother will see you."

Soon, Shu Fangyin came in with her embroidered forehead, and when she entered the room and saw that Shu Manyin was also there, her expression was slightly stunned for a moment, and she soon returned to normal and saluted the two: "I've seen my mother, I've seen my sister." ”

Shu Manyin raised her eyebrows, yo, yes, in order to enter the palace, this will pretend to be quite like that, and she can endure the contradiction with herself.

"Second girl, sit up and talk." Zhou also shouted and stood up.

"Thank you mother" Shu Fangyin got up and sat obediently on the embroidery pier on the side, her face was a little embarrassed: "I didn't know that my sister was also here, but I disturbed my sister and mother." ”

"It's okay, my mother and I don't have anything big to say." It was just a plain sentence, but it was not like that in Shu Fangyin's ears, she felt that Shu Fangyin must have told her mother about entering the palace, or at this time she already knew which nobleman the palace was looking for, and the expression on her face became softer and softer.

"If I knew that my sister would come over today, my sister wouldn't have come to offer her ugliness." She looked at the forehead wipes in her hands with some twists, but in fact, this forehead wipes were indeed her heart.

"The embroidery work of the second girl has always been good." Zhou naturally followed her gaze and saw the wiping forehead.

"It's good that my mother likes it, I've caused a lot of trouble to my mother and sister these days, it's my daughter who is not sensible, and I ask my mother and sister to forgive." Shu Fangyin brewed her feelings for a while, and deliberately let her eyes be full of tears.

"It's not a big deal, my mother and I have long forgotten about it, so my sister should not speculate on it." Shu Manyin hated her pretending to be weak the most, and quickly opened her mouth to stop her next performance.

"Look at me, it's so unpleasant again, the left and right foreheads are delivered, and the daughter won't bother her mother and sister, and she will come to see her mother tomorrow." Shu Fangyin saw that she didn't get any affirmative words, so she was ready to continue to fight a protracted battle.

Seeing Shu Fangyin out of the courtyard, Zhou was a little puzzled: "What idea did these two girls have recently?" ”

"I'm afraid I hope my mother will take her to the banquet." Shu Manyin mentioned it casually, which suddenly shocked Zhou: "How did Man'er know." ”

"Zuo is just these things, a few days ago I heard the red apricots in my sister's yard and people talking about a banquet in the palace or something, so I thought that my sister probably wanted to go to the banquet together." Shu Manyin thought to herself, since Shu Fangyin was going to die, she had to push her no matter what.

"This ...... In fact, it's not impossible to take her there, I'm just afraid that ......." Zhou still had palpitations when he remembered what happened last time.

"Mother is worried too much, the palace is brilliant, and it is really human nature for my sister to want to see and see, and this prayer for heaven is a * thing, and nothing can happen."

Zhou thought for a moment and felt that this palace banquet must be out of trouble, so he called Huang Ying: "Huang Ying, you send someone to the courtyard of the second lady to say, let her prepare well these days, and go to the palace banquet with me and Man'er in ten days, and there must be no mistakes in the major event of sacrificing to the sky and praying for blessings." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Huang Ying took the order and left.

When Huang Ying notified Shu Fangyin, when she learned that she could enter the palace with her, Shu Fangyin couldn't stop speeding up her heartbeat. Hongxing came to her side and said, "Second Miss, you can enter the palace for the banquet, congratulations to Second Miss." ”

"It's just a banquet, what is there to congratulate?" Although Shu Fangyin was overjoyed in her heart, she didn't want to be looked down upon by her maid, and she was in ecstasy, so she naturally ignored the four words of worshipping the sky and praying for blessings, thinking that this was just an excuse for Zhou to not want to let herself stand out too much and suppress Shu Manyin's limelight.

"To be able to enter the palace, the slave maid heard that the palace is beautiful, and it is brilliant everywhere, and it is a blessing to be able to go in and take a look, and now I can eat the palace banquet, which is a great thing." Red apricot on the side of the fantasy of the face.

Shu Fangyin was thinking in her heart that if she could fly on the branches with this, then she would have the ability.
