At this time, Xu's and Chen Ying and others had already stepped into the hall, and everyone present was silent for a while, and the flower hall gradually fell into a strange silence.

Xu's footsteps became sluggish.

Sometimes, this sudden silence is far more embarrassing than the chatter.

This is a flower hall full of pearls.

For a moment, Xu even felt that it might be a very good way to walk away. At least you don't have to face this light or dark sight, and you don't have to put on a casual appearance, and every step is so difficult.

This sudden cowardice slowed her steps, and the smile on her face was almost shattered.

However, this emotion was quickly controlled by her. Her back was straight, and she moved forward gracefully.

At this moment, Xu's head was slightly raised, and the smile on her face was light and gentle, no different from her usual appearance. Her gaze naturally scanned back and forth, occasionally touching the familiar woman, and then nodding with a smile.

One line at a time, dignified and calm, there is a kind of nobility in the bones.

After a few breaths, the atmosphere in the flower hall returned to normal.

Xu Shi shrunk his hand tightly in the sleeve, quietly relaxed, and then closed his gaze and looked back sideways.

Chen Ying was following her, quiet and calm, and the expression on her face did not change in the slightest.

Xu nodded secretly.

She has learned Chen Ying's power, and now she knows that this third girl is a very assertive person, and the sideways eyes and discussions of others will not affect her at all.

Xu couldn't help but sigh.

If her daughter Chen Yi can cultivate to Chen Ying's realm, she doesn't need to do everything, as long as she can practice a little half, she will be content as a mother.

The subtle changes in the atmosphere in the flower hall, Chen Ying did not pay attention to it.

These days when she goes out to a banquet, she is used to it.

While walking forward, she raised her eyes to look, but saw Xingjibo's wife Cheng wearing a Hague-colored silk skirt, and she was coming forward, followed by the prince's wife Xia and Guo Bing.

Guo Wan is not one of them.

Chen Ying was a little suspicious in her heart.

Today's flower banquet is an annual banquet on the surface, but in fact, it is specially prepared by Xingjibo Mansion for Guo Wan, the "eldest daughter who has returned home".

This shows that Xingji Bofu not only raised his hands to welcome the return of this concubine, but from now on, Guo Wandu will appear in the social circle of Shengjing City as the concubine of Bofu.

Chen Ying really couldn't understand how Guo Wan did it.

Her short marriage history, her widowhood, all this can't be hidden from anyone at all.

However, looking at Cheng's smiling face, Chen Ying had an illusion that Cheng didn't mind Guo Wan's widowhood.

When did Cheng become so generous?

In the aristocratic circle of Shengjing City, there is almost no discussion about Guo Wan, is this also the reason why Cheng's support for this granddaughter?

Thinking about these in her heart, Chen Ying didn't pay much attention to the situation in front of her, and suddenly felt that her sleeves were pulled, she turned her head to look, and met the smiling face of her fifth sister Chen Qing.

"Third sister, the eldest aunt asked us to come over to see the ceremony." Chen Qing said very lightly, gesturing upward.

Chen Ying realized that she was distracted, and when she turned around, she saw Xu Shi waving to her: "Good boy, come here." ”

The Cheng family said jokingly: "Your big girl said that she is a good family, I still want to congratulate her today, I don't want her to come, I think you hid people, don't let her see people." ”

When Xu Shi heard this, he also had a smile on his face, and said softly: "That child is ashamed, so I asked her to come, and she refused to come." ”

According to the rules of Beijing, it is decided that the unmarried girls of other families can only stay at home to get married, and they usually do not go out to socialize, so the juniors brought out by the Xu family today are only the third girl Chen Ying and the fifth girl Chen Qing.

Chen Qing is twelve years old this year, and he has indeed reached the age of going out to socialize, Mrs. Xu has always treated these concubines equally, whoever should be is who's, and she never suppressed it in private, which is also her old man's way of governing the family.

The topic came to the marriage of the children, Cheng complimented Xu for choosing a good son-in-law, Xu was modest and a few words, Chen Ying and they stepped forward to greet each other, and the two sides said a few more kind words, and the procedure was completed.

At this time, it was Guo Bing's turn to appear.

She stepped forward to invite a few young girls in the hall to go to the garden to play, and the elders did not allow it, and the women quit the flower hall.

After stepping on the long corridor outside the flower hall, Chen Ying walked to Guo Bing's side and asked softly, "May I ask, Aunt Zunfu...... Well, Guo Wan, is she here today? ”

In detail, although Guo Wan is older than Guo Bing, she is a generation shorter, and she wants to call Guo Bing's aunt. Chen Ying only remembered this when she opened her mouth, and for a while she felt that it seemed a little inappropriate to call Guo Wan's eldest girl.

The real big girl in this house should be Guo Bing.

"My eldest niece is in the garden." Guo Bing replied very calmly, as if he didn't care much about this niece who came out of thin air, and after speaking, he asked a little curiously: "I heard that Miss Chen San and she met her when they were in Dengzhou, is that really the case?" ”

Her demeanor and expression are very generous, and she is even more smiling when she talks to Chen Ying, and she can't see that there was a disagreement between them at the flower banquet last year.

This is not because Guo Bing is forgetful, but because the current Chengguo Mansion has become the biggest talking point in the whole capital, and these outsiders are very happy to see this scene, so naturally they will no longer be obsessed with the past.

Chen Ying didn't speculate about her hobbies, and when she asked about the past at this moment, she bowed her head and said: "Yes, Guo Wan and I did know each other in Penglai County, and I heard that she will also come today, I really want to meet her and catch up with the past." ”

"It's so easy." Guo Bing covered his sleeves and smiled.

At this time, they happened to have reached the gate of the garden, Guo Bing opened his hand, stretched out his hand and pointed to a bamboo forest in the distance, and said with a smile: "Isn't my eldest nephew there?" ”

She seemed to like the title "eldest niece" very much, and every time she mentioned it, the smile on her face deepened.

After speaking, she looked forward again, and said strangely: "My eldest niece is talking to someone, and that person looks like the county lord." ”

Although there was a smile on her face, her eyebrows frowned imperceptibly, and then let go.

Her two "nieces and nephews", but none of them are easy to mess with, as an "elder", Guo Bing feels that he has a thin face and shallow affection, and he has never been able to do less. Even if the Cheng family is here, most of them will pretend that they haven't seen it, and let these two "granddaughters" make trouble.

After all, Guo Yuan is not the one who suffers, what do they care about so much?
