Chapter 340: Plum Blossom Feast

On the day of the plum feast, Cui'er got up early in the morning. The two children were too young to take to the banquet, so they were entrusted to Mrs. Ye by Cui'er to watch, and Cui'er and Huiya got into the carriage sent by the Dingguo Mansion after dressing up.

The carriage was the frame of General Wude's wife, and after the big girl and Xiaohu returned to the house, they allocated it to the two of them, and this car took Cui'er into the mansion to participate in the banquet, but it was very suitable.

Cui'er got out of the car at the second gate, and met two blue-roofed soft sedan chairs, followed by a mother-in-law, although she was familiar but couldn't call her name, she only knew that it was Mrs. Shizi's side.

"Mrs. Lian is well, I am Mama Zhang in front of Mrs. Shizi, and I have been ordered by Mrs. Shizi to welcome you in." That mother Zhang knew that her Miss Yuehua and Young Master Chenguang had an unusual relationship with the lady in front of her, and she also knew that her own wife valued this lady, so when she spoke, she was respectful, but not annoying.

"Okay, I've worked hard for Mom Zhang." Cui'er was helped into the sedan chair by Huiya and Xiangmo, and was carried to the courtyard of Mrs. Shizi.

Today, Cui'er is wearing a thick makeup satin dress, and her body is draped in a big hat, although it is not cold, this dress also has some weight. If you walk from the second gate to the courtyard of Mrs. Shizi, you don't have to do anything else, you have to tire Cui'er very much.

Sitting in the small sedan chair, Cui'er reorganized the things she was thinking about at home, and felt that today's Mrs. Shizi said that the big girl and the little tiger were in danger, but there was something strange in it.

Not to mention that the Dingguo Mansion is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for thieves or anything to start, even if they have the opportunity to do it, what can a weak woman protect her two children?

Besides, the big girl and the little tiger are the sons of the second son of the prince. General Wen Xiu himself has a son-in-law, and although the two children are concubines, they do not occupy the eldest child. The big girl is only ten years old, and the little tiger is less than four years old, so it is not clear who will be in the way.

Cui'er thought about it seriously, because the two children were still young, and after two scoldings, they forgot about it, and they couldn't talk about filial piety or anything like that. Wanting to really hurt them. It's about life safety. And except for the Xiao faction and others who chased and killed Qianli in order to fight General Wude, Cui'er really couldn't imagine that anyone would kill the two children.

Thinking of the people of the Xiao faction, Cui'er's heart is a pang. If they dare to stretch out their claws to the two children, even if they try their best, they must make them look good!

The soft sedan car walked forward, and although there was some vibration, it was not noticeable. Obviously, the sedan chair driver in this house has slowed down. After about a quarter of an hour, Cui'er had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard where Mrs. Shizi was.

Cui'er was helped out of the soft sedan chair. I tidied up the clothes and headdress on my body, and just as I was about to step forward, I saw the big girl holding Xiaohu's hand and standing at the door looking at herself!

"Yuehua, Chenguang!" Cui'er called loudly, but it was not the nickname of the head of the family. It's their big name. Although this behavior is not as intimate as it was at home, it is more protective of the children's self-esteem.

Cui'er knew in her heart that the two children had lived in the mountains for a long time. Although he began to teach them the etiquette and survival methods they should know after deciding to enter Beijing, he could not teach them how to deal with sudden changes. They can't be taught a brave and strong heart.

Since there is no way to achieve this kind of strength quickly, Cui'er can only pay attention to more protection. I hope that the hearts of the big girl and the little tiger can be preserved a little soft because of such protection, and leave a trace of innocence and happiness in this place where the heart may be ground harder than stone.

"Mother!" With bright smiles on their faces, the big girl and the little tiger ran to Cui'er's side from the door, and gently hugged Cui'er's round belly and called happily. It didn't change its name at all, just because it was in the Guogong Mansion.

"Good boy, it's so cold outside, why are you still coming out and waiting!" Cui'er stretched out her hand, touched the big girl's face, and pasted it on Xiaohu's forehead. Feeling that the faces of the two children were a little cold, they were not too cold, so he took their hands and went to the yard.

"Mrs. Lian, Mrs. Shizi is waiting for you inside." Mama Fu, who was also guarding the door, because she was the old man next to Mrs. Shizi, said the word on behalf of Cui'er after seeing it.

"Good!" Cui'er nodded to her, and then made a color to Xiangmo beside her, then pulled Xiaohu, let the big girl lead Huiya, and the group of four went to the courtyard.

Mrs. Shizi and Cui'er have also met a few times, and they have an impression of this woman who treats her grandchildren sincerely. Although they felt that Cui'er and her family were more for money and fame, they couldn't deny their sincerity to the children, so they decided to secretly observe and experiment.

I said hello to Mrs. Shizi, and the guests outside should also arrive, although Cui'er is a guest today, but because of the relationship between the big girl and the little tiger, she can barely be counted as half a master. Cui'er took the big girl Xiaohu and Huiya to sit in the side room, waiting for the guests to come about the same, and then took the big girl and Xiaohu out to meet the guests.

Taking advantage of this time, Cui'er got a list of female guests who appreciated the plum from Mama Fu. There are not many female guests, only less than twenty, after all, in this big capital, there are very few mansions that can be on an equal footing with the Guogong Mansion, and even fewer have a considerable status and friendship to climb the family of their children.

Cui'er sat in the wing, listening to the big girl and the little tiger innocently and carefree about how beautiful the plum grove of the hundreds of plum trees in the garden was, and how fragrant the plum blossoms were, but she was always worried about what was about to happen. Cui'er's heart was clenching slightly, not for the upcoming famous lady, but for the safety of the two children, Da Niu and Xiaohu.

"Aunt Cui, let's go to Merlin later." Huiya blinked and looked at Cui'er expectantly. She didn't know the inside story of coming to Dingguo Mansion this time, so she just thought that she had come to accompany her younger brothers and sisters to participate in a flower-viewing banquet.

"Okay, I'll accompany the big girl and the little tiger to meet the guests later, and I'll go to enjoy the flowers." Cui'er nodded, knowing that she couldn't keep the children in the house for the rest of her life. Instead of being afraid of the unknown future, it is better to be bold and careful to live in the present.

Cui'er talked to the children for a while, and listened to Mama Fu talk for a while about the other protagonist of today's flower viewing party. That is, the matter of Yang Yueshu, the eldest daughter of General Wen Xiu. Yang Yueshu is fifteen years old this year, the third child and the first daughter of General Wen Xiu, who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting on weekdays, and treats the two younger siblings of Da Niu and Xiaohu very kindly.

Now that Yueshu has reached the age of talking about marriage, Mrs. Shizi will take her with the Duchess of Dingguo and take her with her when she participates in parties or banquets. Now this flower-viewing banquet, in addition to introducing the two children of Yuehua and Chenguang to the dignitaries of the capital. It is even more important to find a good family for Yueshu.

"I see. There is such a good thing! When Cui'er listened to Mama Fu's words, she actually smiled and narrowed her eyes, looking very comfortable. On the other hand, Mama Fu, who had been observing Cui'er, was a little drumming in her heart. I and Mrs. Shizi said so scary, why didn't Mrs. even look scared at all, but didn't you take the young lady and the young master to heart?

Before Mama Fu had time to think deeply, there was a message from Yahuan outside. said that Mrs. Shizi came to the front to welcome the guests, and she was afraid that Mrs. Lian would be lonely. Let Miss Yuehua and Young Master Chenguang accompany Mrs. Lian to the front.

Cui'er knew that this was Mrs. Shizi's fear that the big girl and Xiaohu had not seen the world, so she let herself accompany them to give them courage, so she naturally would not refuse. Immediately took the big girl and the little tiger and Huiya, and followed the Yahuan who led the way to the flower hall in front.

The road from the courtyard of the Lady of the Prince to the flower hall is not far. Cui'er took Yuehua and Chenguang to the door of the flower hall, and Cui'er carefully helped Huiya, Da Niu and Xiaohu tidy up their clothes again.

While helping them sort out their clothes, Cui'er sensitively noticed that Yuehua was a little more nervous than the other two children. sighed in her heart that although this child was more cheerful with her own learning, the shadow of her childhood still left traces in her heart.

"Good boy. Let's just go in and stay for a while, don't be afraid, I'll be there for you if anything. While sorting out the clothes, Cui'er gave each of the children a few words. Although it was not an important word, it also gave a lot of courage to Yuehua and Chenguang, who were a little cowardly on the scene, and the brilliance in their eyes was a little better.

"Let's go, let's go and see how different the families of those big officials in the capital are!" Cui'er said with a smile, and pulled the bright-eyed children into the flower hall.

"Mrs. Lian of the Guerrilla General's Mansion, Miss Yuehua, and Young Master Chenguang have arrived!" The maid ring at the door of the flower hall helped to open the curtain, and the girl ring helped them untie the big curtain on their bodies, and there was a special girl ring singing the name of the person who came. The female guests who heard the roll call turned around one after another, wanting to see who the legendary Mrs. Lian was, and what kind of children Miss Yuehua and Young Master Chenguang were who returned to the Guogong Mansion.

Cui'er was wearing a high-waisted skirt made of light apricot yellow with honey-colored makeup satin, the style of this dress was bright and atmospheric, and it was worn on Cui'er, who had a bulging abdomen, and it had a few more graces. Cui'er has the original intention of temperament, and the jewelry with gold and jade is even more noble and elegant, although the clothes and jewelry on her body are not worth much silver, but it looks like many noblewomen whose status is significantly higher than her among the guests, and they all look noble and magnificent.

And Yuehua, who was standing next to her, was wearing a pale pink brocade gown, and underneath was a horse-faced skirt of the same color sprinkled with gold embroidered everywhere. Although there are not many jewelry on Yuehua's head, all of them are boutiques, and they look luxurious but delicate.

And Chenguang, who was held in Cui'er's hand, was more eye-catching, and his short body was wearing a small robe with a red background and a peaceful pattern. The little face, which was originally a little fleshy, looked more and more round and pink at this time, with a serious expression, which made people feel funny when they looked at it, and they couldn't help but want to take this little thing into their arms and kiss it fiercely.

There was another person present, although he quietly followed Mrs. Lian and them, but like a delicate and beautiful flower, it attracted the attention of many ladies present.

This person is Hui Ya, Hui Ya is wearing a goose yellow curly dress, a slender waist is not full of a hand, a handful of black and bright hair like brocade, with the same goose yellow beaded flowers, although not rich, but quite a Chu posture, people look at it and feel pity.

The lady present was all smiling, except for a young woman in the crowd, whose eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost when she saw a few people coming, and she didn't even notice her gaffe. (To be continued)
