After the autumn, the weather improved, it was sunny for a few days, a few silver osmanthus trees in Li's courtyard bloomed, she asked the maid to collect a lot of petals, and used them to sew incense bags, and ordered the kitchen to make osmanthus dew and make osmanthus wine.

"That's a good sign." Mother Luo smiled and watched the maid do needlework, and then looked at Li with a smile: "The slave maid heard that there is a toad and an osmanthus flower, and the most important thing is that people are in high school." The uncle just finished the exam, and the osmanthus blossomed at this time. And the osmanthus flowers elsewhere in the house have not bloomed, but only the lady has opened, isn't this just the right time? ”

Li couldn't hold back his laughter: "Mom, that's called Toad Palace, it's not a toad or anything, if my mother says this, I'm afraid I'll laugh badly." ”

Jiangyun on the side also smiled: "Mom, the noble person forgot to take the needlework last time, and when she turned around, she searched all over the house, and she searched for two whole days."

Luo's mother "spitted" at her and said angrily: "I found you a little bad hoof, and I didn't tell me, and quietly let you go." Then I flipped it out, and I was shocked when it ran back on its own legs. ”

The room was full of joy, and Li smiled so hard that he wiped his tears: "Mom's mouth is more and more able to speak." ”

Luo's mother made a gesture to hit Jiangyun, and her hand stretched out halfway, but she couldn't hold it back, and she laughed along.

At this moment, Lu Shui suddenly walked in and said, "Madam, Mrs. Hou Shizi of Zhenyuan has sent a mother and is waiting outside." ”

The laughter in the room suddenly stopped, and Li Shi was slightly stunned and asked, "What is she doing here?" Do you know what it is? ”

Lu Shui said: "The Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion wants to hold a banquet, and my mother is here to send an invitation." ”

Li frowned, sighed, and finally got up and said, "Invite her to the flower hall for tea, and I'll go over." ”

Lushui took the order, Luo's mother was busy asking people to pick out clothes, Ziqi brought a makeup box and a jewelry box, and the house was busy when it was bad.

Marquis Zhenyuan is an idle lord, and he likes to do these lively things since he came, which is also a convention.

The mother sent the flower note, and soon resigned, saying that there were still a few more to send, and the Li family did not keep more.

Every time I go back to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion to hold a banquet, it is a big scene, and I invite guests.

The mother left the Chen Mansion and went to the Yongcheng Hou Mansion - that is, the former Chengguo Mansion - to hand the flower note to the Hou Lady Xu, and said a lot of kind words with her before leaving.

Xu took the flower note back to the courtyard, and as soon as he entered the house, tears fell first.

Mother Yang next to her didn't look like it, and hurriedly waved everyone away, and helped Xu turn the fan and enter the inner room.

Along the way, Xu's tears never stopped.

"Why is Madame sad again?" Mother Yang whispered, holding the golden silk ball chrysanthemum kiln cup with both hands, resting it on Xu's hand, sighing in her heart, and persuading carefully in her mouth: "This is the honey water that has just been brewed, Mrs. take a sip first, and you can say it slowly if you have anything to say." ”

Xu Shi raised his head, his eyes were already red from crying, and he choked up: "Mom told me to take it slowly, how did I take it slowly?" Isn't this urgent? I'm going to take it slowly, my sister-in-law......"

She squeezed the flower note in her hand hard, and suddenly noticed something, hurriedly unfolded it to smooth it, and smiled bitterly with tears: "...... I can't make this invitation any more flowers, otherwise, I'm afraid that it will be spread everywhere, saying that I am angry and ashamed, and I am angry with something that I can't speak. ”

Mother Yang hurriedly stroked her back and persuaded softly: "If Madame doesn't like to take care of these things, she won't go." She glanced at the flower note, with disdain in her eyes: "Although we are both marquises, we are not on the same step as the Marquis of Zhenyuan, just for such a trivial matter, it is too worthless for you to sulk yourself." ”

Xu raised his hand and threw the flower note on the case, and said bitterly: "If I had changed the past, I would have done whatever I wanted, but now I can't." She looked annoyed, and wrinkled her eyebrows and teeth: "Now I'm just a Mrs. Hou, and if I take the old style, others are afraid that they will laugh at it even more." ”

After speaking, he spat on the ground fiercely, and his face became more and more annoyed: "It's good for them, when the whole family was affected, they hid out." Waiting for us to come a little shorter, they will rise up again. What a wow, what a thing. ”

Mother Yang knew that she was left-handed, and the mother of the Yuanhou Mansion in the town only mentioned it casually, saying that the Chen family also sent flower notes, which was actually flattering, but she didn't want to poke at Xu's sore spot, so it was strange that she was not annoyed.

Mother Yang sighed, and was about to persuade again, when the curtain in front of the door was suddenly provoked, bringing in a gust of wind, but it was Yongcheng Hou Chen Xun who walked in.

"Say hello to Master Hou." Mother Yang saw the opportunity very quickly, and immediately stepped forward to salute, and asked for peace louder than usual.

Chen Xun waved his hand, his expression was extremely light: "You step aside." ”

Mother Yang couldn't help but be anxious, but she didn't dare to stay longer, so she took the opportunity to turn around and look at Xu.

A man has a hard day outside, and when he returns home, he doesn't say that he serves hot tea and hot water, but cries and wipes his tears, which is annoying to anyone.

In this family, Chen Xun is the biggest reliance of the Xu family, and Yang's mother hopes that the two of them will be harmonious and beautiful, and they will not have any quarrels.

Xu ignored her at all, just sat by himself, and gave up on himself.

Mother Yang sighed silently, so she had to withdraw, half-cover the door, and drive all the little maids under the porch to other places.

She was old, and when she saw Chen Xun's face, she knew that he had something to say.

I just hope that their marquis won't say anything angry, and the Xu family won't always cry.

Mother Yang was thinking outside the curtain, and in the room, Chen Xun walked to the side of the case, picked up the flower note and glanced at it, then threw it away again, and looked at Xu.

"What's wrong with you? What are you crying about? He asked, his voice soft.

Xu raised his eyes to look at him, and saw that he was wearing a homely robe of green neon cotton, with pipa sleeves with a collar, a wide edge inlaid with dark purple bamboo leaf patterns, a white and brown undershirt with a green onion exposed on the collar, and a peach wood hairpin running through his hair, but he looked like a free.

"Can I stop crying?" Xu's heart became more and more bitter.

Everything is not going well at home, but Chen Xun is still the same as if he is fine.

Men and women are just different, and men don't understand what women worry about.

"Sister Lu's marriage has become like this, but now a post has come, specifying that our family is invited to enjoy the flowers, isn't this coming to see our jokes?" The more she talked, the more aggrieved she became, and tears fell all over her face again.

Chen Xun looked at her for a long time, sighed lightly, walked to her side, raised his hand to stroke her sideburns, and his movements were very gentle: "You, what a fool." ”

Xu only wept and did not speak.

Chen Xun shook his head, took out Fang Daqingpai from his sleeve, stuffed it into her hand, turned around and teased his robe, and sat opposite her: "Since people have invited, let's go, what do you want to do so much?" We didn't do anything wrong. ”
