The Yongcheng Marquis Mansion is not far from the Chen Mansion, and it will not take long to arrive, and the Xu family and the Shen family have already received the letter, and they both welcome out of the hanging flower door and let the former concubine family into the courtyard.

The regulation of the Hou Mansion is a little shorter than the Guogong Mansion, but Chen Ying has come all the way, but the scenery is beautiful, the courtyard flowers and trees are sparse, the pavilions are staggered, sometimes you can see the mangrove trees are colorful, the green water flows, it is said that there is a rare ginkgo forest in the south, now it is a piece of Huang Cancan, Xu plans to hold a banquet in a few days, invite the nobles in Beijing to enjoy.

Chen Xiang is the protagonist of today, so after meeting a pair of elders, Chen Ying was accompanied by the eldest parrot brother and went to the "Bishui Xuan" where Chen Xiang lived.

"The second girl has been talking about it since a few days ago, and she is looking forward to Miss Ying coming today." Brother Parrot led the way in front of him, and said with a courteous smile: "Our second girl also said that after watching the ceremony, we would invite the girl to go to the 'Qisu Pavilion' to enjoy the scenery. ”

She is one of the four big maids beside Mrs. Xu, and she speaks and acts differently from others, so Chen Ying smiled at her: "It's really bothering you two girls, today she is the first priority, if you only care about us, it's not good." ”

Seeing Chen Ying talking and laughing calmly, Brother Parrot sighed secretly.

If we had not been separated, we would still be living together as before, how happy and happy should we be on this happy occasion today?

Sigh and sigh, the former situation is no longer seen, the three girls' family is divided, the third master is released again, and there are so many people in the family all of a sudden, and it is becoming more and more deserted.

Sometimes, when he saw Mrs. Xu sitting alone in front of the window, looking at the empty yard, Brother Parrot would feel that the old man was also quite lonely.

Mind hundred turns, everyone is already wearing the corridor, around the flower curtain, turn the blue pavilion, not long in time, there is a very vermilion lacquer building in front of the eyes, about three storeys high, flying eaves and corners, hanging straight in the sky, there is a kind of momentum of riding the wind and driving the clouds. The white wall outside the building is four-fold, the back is attached to the ginkgo forest, and there are large pieces of mountain stones near a side of living water, it is really the wind cutting gold leaves at the top of the head, and the water is green when the eyebrows are low, which is extremely pleasing to the eye.

Seeing Chen Ying looking around, with a look of admiration on his face, Brother Parrot smiled and pointed ahead and said, "This 'Qiushui Pavilion' is four...... The third girl's residence, at this time, the third girl must also be there with the second girl. ”

Chen Han was the first to go fourth, and because Chen Ying was no longer in the house, Chen Han was promoted to "three girls".

Brother Parrot didn't turn around for a while, almost leaked his mouth, and hurriedly looked at Chen Ying quietly.

Chen Ying had no different color on her face, and only nodded with a smile: "This scenery is really good, it turned out to be Sister Han's residence." ”

Seeing this, Brother Parrot secretly breathed a sigh of relief, didn't dare to say more, and led everyone to the south, walking through a colorful stone path, and finally arrived at Bishui Xuan.

Compared with the imposing Qiushui Pavilion, the blue bricks and tiles of Bishui Xuan and the golden waves of the white bridge are ordinary.

Fortunately, the courtyard was very lively, and the girl's crisp laughter flew straight away, and even the flowing water under the bridge seemed to be contaminated with a little pleasure, "bang-la-la" sounded clearly, stirring up splashes all the way, and went down the river.

Entering the courtyard, there were maids and servants who followed forward, and followed Chen Ying to the bright room, the room was already full of people, and the girls in the family were all there, and there were a few noble girls who looked familiar.

In addition, even Chen Ji and Chen Xun, the two boys, were mixed in the girl's pile to eat fruit and talk.

Chen Ji is the son-in-law of the former fourth wife, now the third wife, Liu, and has just turned six years old this year. And Chen Xun was born by Aunt Su, who was originally in the third room, and has been raised by the Shen family under her knees, and is one year younger than Chen Ji.

According to the rules of the Hou Mansion, all men, when they reach the age of four, they will be enlightened and enter school, except for the New Year's Festival, they need to go to school every day, only because there is a happy event in the family today, so the school has a half-day vacation, and the two of them can have leisure to reunite with their sisters.

"I've been looking forward to you for a long time, Principal Chen." As soon as Chen Yingfu entered the house, Chen Han grabbed her first and smiled happily: "I haven't heard the news of the girls' school for a long time, I don't know how the school is doing?" Principal Chen, tell me about it. ”

As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent, and after a few breaths, Chen Xiang stepped forward quickly, grabbed Chen Ying's arm, and said with a smile: "Ah Ying, you are here, it is really a coincidence, I am saying here that I want to ask someone to take some snacks." Let me tell you, there is a new cook in our family, who makes a good pastry, and the flowers are just like the real thing, so I will ask someone to present them. ”

As she spoke, she glared at Chen Han fiercely while she was turning her back on everyone.

Chen Ying's opening of a girls' school in Shandong is almost known in the aristocratic circle in Beijing, and everything is said. Naturally, because when the girls' school opened, both the emperor and the queen were rewarded, so the words that came out were not unpleasant, and there were also those who praised Chen Ying's "good deeds and good heart".

However, no matter how open the Great Chu Dynasty is, a noble girl like Chen Ying is really rare, and it will inevitably attract everyone's attention. There are even those who strictly abide by the rules and cherish their faces, who are very dismissive of Chen Ying, and even use Chen Ying as a negative example to teach the girl in the family to learn that she is so "unruly".

At this time, Chen Han ignored it and pointed out the word "girls' school" in public, which was really a bit of Chen Ying's face.

Even if Chen Han didn't do it intentionally.

In fact, since she came back from the girls' school, she had nothing to do all day, and she was almost crazy, so when she saw Chen Ying, she was busy asking her for news, but she forgot that there were many guests here today, among which there were quite a few girls from the Qingliushi family, who were the most disciplined.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Han was a little embarrassed, and was busy playing a round by himself: "Oh, second sister, I also feel a little hungry, I got up too early today, I didn't expect to be so busy that my stomach was empty, and I just had a snack." ”

Chen Xiang's face softened slightly, and he smiled apologetically at Chen Ying again.

Chen Ying would not worry about Chen Han, and she didn't want to embarrass Chen Xiang on this good day, so she smiled slightly: "Thank you Second Miss Chen, I have a good mouth." ”

At this point, the past is not mentioned, Chen Ying stepped forward to greet the women, and those who knew each other would say a few words of gossip.

At one point, the snack was on the table, and everyone put a little cushion, and then dispersed, some went to the bridge to watch the water, some walked on the stone path, and some did not move the nest, holding chess pieces to guess the play, and they never went far.

Although it was still early in the auspicious time, as soon as the man came to the door, the little girls would go to the front yard and hide behind the screen to peek.

This is also a custom of the Great Chu Dynasty, the intention is just to be lively and interesting, surrounded by handkerchiefs, the future bride hides in the crowd, sneaking a look at her husband, and it will not be so embarrassing.
