On the 16th day of the first lunar month, the sky was just right, and the mild sun hung high in the sky, adding a lot of warmth to the land of Jinju, which had been frozen by snow for a long time. The sun is warm but not dry, and it is mixed with a thin wind, which makes people slightly drunk.

"Today's weather is really suitable for cherry blossom viewing." Xu Yuan turned his head with a smile and said towards Du Jingqing.

Du Jingqing usually doesn't like to dress up, but today he had a good time, wearing a grass-green yarn skirt and a translucent pale yellow silk blouse, which looks more lively than usual.

She looked up at the sky and smiled, "Yes, let's go sooner rather than later." ”

The two got into a carriage and went to the Seongnam County Guard's Mansion.

Xu Yuan took Xiaolan as usual, and Du Jingqing seemed to have promoted Ru'er to be a personal girl, and she was taken with her these few times.

Jinju Fortress is not just a city, it includes a main city, as well as seven small cities scattered outside, including Guanseong, Yuanseong, and Liseong. Jinju officials, generals stationed in the north, and other figures, most of their mansions are in the main city.

The main city is the main one, which is naturally very large. Xu Yuan frowned and took the motion sickness pill as usual, and it took almost as much time as returning to Guancheng to get to the south of the city.

The cherry blossom viewing banquet was not held in the county guard's mansion, but in a separate courtyard in the south of the city.

After getting off the carriage, what greeted Xu Yuan's eyes was the red wall and green tiles, and a tall bamboo and wooden door, with a plaque on it, and the calligraphy "Plum Garden". There are also a few plum blossoms, vying to poke their heads out of the high wall.

Mrs. County's surname is Mei, and this "Plum Garden" is a pun.

The grandeur of a separate courtyard in this county guard mansion looks far better than that of Xu Mansion, Xu Yuan sighed in his heart. Du Jingqing next to him is almost the same as Xu Yuan. The two didn't say anything, just sighed neatly, turned their heads and smiled at each other.

The servant woman at the door welcomed the two of them in, and recorded which young lady they were. Another clever maid came up to them and said delicately, "Please come with me, the two young ladies have already laid a beautiful scenery here." ”

This maid was born beautiful, and she also painted thin smoky eyebrows, Xu Yuan couldn't help but ask her name.

"Madame saw that my eyebrows were good-looking, and I didn't even need a thrush, so she named me Chodai." But Dai replied to Xu Yuan with a smile in her eyes.

It turns out that the two curved eyebrows that are so beautiful are not actually drawn? Xu Yuan was a little surprised.

Following in the footsteps of Cho Dai, the clear scenery gradually approached.

The rockery in front of you is towering, the meandering water, the plum blossom tree stands proudly aside, and there are large clusters of various famous flowers and plants that do not belong to the winter are born here, constituting a good and rare scenery.

Next to the man-made landscape, on the natural floral side, there are many girls dressed in extravagant clothes who are playing here in groups of threes and twos.

Taking a deep breath of the rich air in this courtyard, Xu Yuan just wanted to go inside, but was stopped by an oncoming familiar voice: "Sister Shuyuan!" ”

It's Cheng Jingyun, in addition to a Cheng Jingqiu by her side, there are also two young ladies with raw faces.

Xu Yuan saluted her and said, "I've seen my cousin." ”

Cheng Jingyun walked towards Xu Yuan and said with a smile: "Good sister, don't be so polite. He added: "Sister, this is the first time to participate in this kind of flower-viewing banquet, why don't I take my sister for a walk?" ”

She didn't seem to see Du Jingqing on the side.

Xu Yuan was a little embarrassed, and it was difficult to say it clearly. At this time, another girl over there said leisurely: "This is the fourth lady of Xu Guogong's family." ”

The tone couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, Xu Yuan nodded slightly, and responded politely: "Yes, I don't know ...... you"

"This is the third lady of the Jinju general judge, Feng Leihan." Cheng Jingyun took Feng Leihan's hand and introduced it to Xu Yuan, and by the way, she also introduced another girl next to her, "This is the eldest lady of the Guankou Guardian Family, Hu Xue." ”

A few people saluted and nodded their heads to be considered acquaintance.

The eldest lady who guards the royal family doesn't seem to have a temper at all, but has a gentle temperament, while that Feng Leihan looks a little pampered, and she looks very pampered at home.

"This plum garden really lives up to its name, let's go and see the plum blossoms over there, I saw from a distance that the flowers on one tree are blooming very well." Hu Xue gently proposed.

Naturally, there is nothing disagrees with everyone, and it is harmonious to talk along the way. Du Jingqing can occasionally say a sentence in it, but he is not uncomfortable.

Except for Cheng Jingyun who bypassed her intentionally or unintentionally, others didn't know Du Jingqing's current situation, and there was no difference between her and other girls.

Xu Yuan didn't know what kind of posture she wanted to show when talking to people as a girl, so she thought about what she should do while learning the painting style of the girls next to her.

Xu Yuan was walking under the plum blossom tree, and just as she was thinking about how to pick up Feng Leihan's words, she was suddenly hit by an unknown object.

It didn't hurt, but two strands of hair were knocked down on the bun.

Xu Yuan lowered her head and saw a fluttering pink handkerchief falling at her feet, with butterflies embroidered on it, and at a glance, it was which young lady dropped it.

It's just a handkerchief, how did it mess up her hair......

Before Xu Yuan could be surprised, a tall girl with bright eyebrows walked over to them with an apologetic face.

Cheng Jingyun, who was just "flying to Hengpa", also saw it, so he pulled Xu Yuan's sleeve and said in a low voice: "This is Mu Yaling, the young lady of the Northwest Staff General's family, she is naturally strong, don't provoke this little ancestor ......"

Before the word "Zong" could be spoken, this Mu Yaling girl walked up to Xu Yuan in a hurry and said sincerely: "Hello girl, I'm sorry." ”

It's really scary...... Xu Yuan tried to stabilize her expression and said with a smile: "It's okay, but Miss Mu, how did you fly here?" ”

Xiao Lan obediently picked up the handkerchief and handed it to the maid behind Mu Yaling.

Mu Yaling blinked and said, "Hey? How do you know my surname is Mu...... I just threw it away, I just wanted to ......"

The maid behind her coughed lightly and said, "Miss......"

Mu Ya Ling said: "It's nothing, it's just that I shook the veil a little hard." Girl, what is your surname? I'm really sorry, I'll come to apologize next time. ”

Xu Yuan hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I'll comb my hair again later." Xu Shuyuan, the fourth lady of the Lower Xu State Mansion, met Miss Mu. ”

The maid of the county guard in the garden also noticed the change here, and the previous guide came here, looked at the situation here, and said to Xu Yuan: "Miss Xu, the slave will take you to re-dress." ”

Xu Yuan nodded and said, "Please lead the way." ”

"That's nature." But Dai respectfully asked Xu Yuan to walk ahead.

Mu Yaling didn't know what she was thinking, and she followed when she saw this.
