Chapter 052: "Father"
The host of this flower-viewing banquet came, and all the ladies got up and saluted.
Xu Yuan is naturally no exception.
After saluting, she curiously and secretly looked at the county guard's wife, Mei, who was walking slowly.
With just one glance, Xu Yuan was so shocked that she gasped.
If she hadn't known that this lady was forty years old before she came, just looking at her face, Xu Yuan would never have believed that this was a woman who had married and had children.
Judging from the criteria for judging women, Mei's body is really not stable enough. She was wearing a pink silk dress, and the ornaments on her body were trying to match the pink color.
But if you look at it from the perspective of a girl, Mei's is really a heavenly fragrance!
It's just that this beauty that doesn't match her age makes Xu Yuan feel a weird sense of confusion in her heart.
Mei Shi opened her mouth gently, and even her voice was delicate like a girl: "Girls, sit down, don't be polite, today RB is to invite everyone to enjoy the flowers, listen to the play, and play together. ”
Everyone nodded yes, and Mei also sat down in the crowd.
Coincidentally, he was sitting less than a few feet away from Xu Yuan and them.
Du Jingqing saw the surprise on Xu Yuan's face that could not be concealed, and said in his ear: "It is said that it was with the help of the witch doctor that he was able to maintain his youth. ”
Shaman? Witch doctor again?
Xu Yuan was shocked, before Xu Chusheng said that he found her under the guidance of the witch doctor, and now there is another one who is helped by the witch doctor to keep her youth?
Before I had time to think about it, the previous delicate female voice sounded again: "This is the fourth young lady of the Duke of Xu's mansion, I can see it today, it is really cute, no wonder the Cheng family treats you as a treasure." ”
Hearing Mei Shi suddenly mention herself, Xu Yuan's back was cold, and she almost thought that she had discovered the discussion behind her back.
Xu Yuan stabilized his mind, got up and saluted Mei's, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xie Junshou praised, you have a good reputation." ”
Mei looked at Xu Yuan, pinched the handkerchief to cover her mouth and smiled: "Where is the reputation." Sit down, you don't have to be so polite. ”
Even the veil is a lotus pink embroidered with orchids.
The other girls on the side also took advantage of Xu Shuyuan to stand up and take a good look at her.
After listening to the play calmly, it's time for the banquet to start.
Mei prepared a flowing water mat in this courtyard, and there were no big fish and meat on the table, but more vegetables and fruits and snacks.
Compared to fish and meat, fruits and vegetables are the rarest in this winter. In the midst of these flowers, the painting style of the last few plates of stewed meat and grilled fish is not quite right......
It's just that Xu Yuan feels that she is really unblessed. In the cold weather, these cold dishes were almost frozen outside, making her unable to raise her appetite.
Fengya is elegant, but it can't fill your stomach.
But except for Xu Yuan, no one came with the mood to fill their stomachs. Most of the ladies only eat some snacks and pad them, and they go to find good girls to talk about the world and contact their feelings.
Mei also got together a few girls in front of her, most of them from inconspicuous petty officials, hoping to courting the county guard's wife and living a better life after she returned.
Mei Shi looked at the girls who were laughing and flattering in front of him, and watched them compete for jealousy in order to please him, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
She laughed as she compared herself to the beauty of these girls.
After realizing that his beauty was better, the smile on Mei's face deepened.
The grandmother behind her whispered: "Madam, Lord Xu said that there is something important to report, and the person has already arrived at the gate of the plum garden." ”
Mei Shi frowned and said, "Why must you come at this time and let him ...... Forget it, let him in. ”
As she spoke, she waved her hand to disperse the girls around her.
As soon as Xu Huai got the communication, he lowered his head and entered the other courtyard, not daring to let his eyes intersect with these noble girls. He walked quickly to Mei Shi and half-knelt down and said, "Xia Guan has seen Madame." ”
Mei picked up the teacup, put it to her lips and took a sip, then said slowly: "Get up, why are you in such a hurry to find me?" ”
Xu Huaiyi stood up respectfully, lowered his head slightly, and said, "The prescription that Mrs. sent me to find before already has an eyebrow. ”
Xu Yuanli, who was in the boudoir pile, didn't know what was going on on Mei's side, she was busy dealing with Mu Yaling's enthusiasm.
Xu Yuan raised her head unconsciously, but was attracted by the middle-aged man who was standing next to Mei.
Mu Yaling also saw the man and said strangely: "Huh? Why is there a man in this courtyard? ”
Xu Yuan also felt strange: "Yes." ”
Xu Yuan was about to retract his gaze when the man raised his head.
She froze.
The man didn't know if he was looking at Xu Yuan, his gaze wandered for a moment and then left.
Mu Yaling noticed Xu Yuan's strange appearance, and reached out and pulled her sleeve: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
Xu Yuan didn't seem to hear it, still staring straight ahead.
She hadn't seen this man, but the original owner had seen it.
He is the father of the original owner, Xu Huaiyi.
Although the original owner's background is doubtful, in those days in the original Xu Mansion, the original owner also sincerely admired this man, and like all daughters, he looked forward to his father's love.
But he got nothing, except for the embarrassment and harshness of the others in the house.
The sadness that belonged to the original owner surged up like a wave, blocking Xu Yuan's heart uncomfortably.
She also thought that she came to this world without illness or disaster, she should have swapped bodies with the original owner, and she was a little guilty of throwing her mess in the original world to her.
Now she's a little glad it's her. If it was the delicate and sensitive little girl of the original owner, how would she feel when she saw this scene?
The man clearly saw himself just now, but his face was not shocked, he must have not recognized that this was his daughter.
Not to mention the relationship between father and daughter, can't you even remember what they look like?
Xu Yuan suddenly took the place of the original owner, which was very worthless.
There is no empathy in the world, but she is different. She has the memory and body of the original owner, and can clearly feel the part of the sadness that belongs to the original owner.
The influence from the original owner was too profound, and until the banquet ended, Xu Yuan still maintained a state of wandering outside the world.
On the return carriage, Du Jingqing asked worriedly, "Sister Yuan, what's wrong with you?" How do you look at the soul? ”
If it weren't for the fact that the person who made Xu Yuan lose his soul at a glance was a slightly obscene middle-aged man, Du Jingqing would almost think that she had fallen in love with someone at first sight......
Xu Yuan pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, "It's okay." ”
was about to go back to Xu's mansion, and Xu Yuan tried to make his expression look normal.
After all, I am now a person who has relatives who will worry about me.
