Also in Chongrenfang, it is therefore the time of half a pillar of incense, the carriage will go to a aconitum door, they will travel to the courtyard, but see a very magnificent gate standing not far away, two Que Hengshu "Protector General's Mansion" five big characters, from the momentum to see, it is indeed more than the Yellow Mansion.

Ouyang Lan glanced at the plaque and was extremely disdainful, "I want to see how delicate the flowers in this general's mansion are!" ”

Yingge didn't know when she was already beside her, and whispered, "The county lord is silent, let's go in and talk about it." ”

Ziwei, who was beside Lin Yun'er, was even more disdainful, and whispered to Lin Yun'er, "Lady, I forgot to wear your pomegranate hairpin today, it was given by the princess!" ”

Lin Yun'er covered her mouth and smiled, Ziwei was afraid that she would lose in front of people, so she specially found some of Huang Zishan's most noble and delicate clothes for her to wear, the color was extremely strong, Xu was in the Buddhist hall for a long time, and she didn't have much joy with those strong colors, so she picked a water-blue long-arm skirt according to her own wishes, put on a light blue short arm outside, and then put on a moon-white shawl, she just combed a double spirit snake bun today, draped the excess long hair behind her, and only wore a pair of white and blue gilt steps, The best thing to see is the two pearls that fall, light but also playful.

There was only a faint layer of carmine on her face, and she decorated it with vermilion, mainly because she liked to make up for herself in later generations, and she also picked up the pen and drew a fiery red begonia flower on her forehead, which made her smile even more charming. Although the whole body looks plain, it is very exquisite.

Huang Hui was led to the front hall by his subordinates, in order to echo the grand occasion of the poetry meeting on the night of Qixi Festival, it is said that a small poetry meeting was also held in the front hall of Cui's mansion, and the backyard was a small banquet held for the ladies and ladies of all ethnic groups to enjoy the flowers and scenery.

Lin Yun'er and Ouyang Lan were surrounded and led to a Guangting Water Pavilion in the backyard, and only then did they arrive at the door, those ladies who were originally in the Water Pavilion got up and saluted when they saw the county lord, and Lin Yun'er knew that the identity of the county lord was the most noble except for a few ladies here.

Ouyang Lan put away her extremely relaxed state in the car, and said with a smile as an already noble appearance, "Everyone, please hurry up, it's just a banquet for a daughter's family, you don't have to be so restrained." ”

"Thank you, Lord Shire." There was a sharp-eyed lady who saw Lin Yun'er beside Ouyang Lan, and made an extremely surprised look, although the ladies were instructed, they didn't dare to discuss it loudly,

Lin Yun'er also roughly guessed what they discussed, but she just stepped forward and laughed lightly, "Huang Jia Zishan, I've seen you." She is not a person who likes to go too far, she came for only one purpose, except for Huang Zishan's heart knot, or her own heart knot, midnight dreams, meditating in front of the candle every time she will feel guilty, she knows very well in her heart that her guilt comes from occupying Huang Zishan's body, her life, and on the one hand, the only thing that can tie her heart knot is to face, on the other hand, she is also a little curious about those two people.

On weekdays, Huang Zishan dresses up and dresses are the most delicate colors and costumes in Beijing, but now she is wearing a water blue as usual, standing in the middle of a group of ladies with heavy makeup, she stands out at once, and people can't help but want to take another look, and suddenly, the attention of all the ladies in the water pavilion silently has two directions, one is naturally Lin Yun'er, and the other is Yingge.

Ouyang Lan immediately found a seat and sat down with Lin Yun'er, this action actually made a lot of waves in the hearts of all the ladies present, it was rumored in Beijing that Huang Zishan was just an abandoned woman in the court, and her temperament was perverse and domineering, so in their eyes, Huang Zishan was just a conversation after dinner, and now when they see it, although their appearance has not changed much, but the bearing of their bodies is completely different, and now they have the support of Ouyang County Lord, most of them have mixed tastes in their hearts, and their mood is nothing more than envy and jealousy.

"I'm sorry to keep you sisters waiting." Before anyone heard its voice, the voice was extremely crisp but as if there was a kind of magic that attracted everyone's attention to the past, everyone turned their faces, but saw a woman painted in Kyoto's fashionable makeup appeared in front of everyone, her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, as if every word she said was with a smile, a fiery red peach mouth on her snow-white face, the rouge at the end of her eyes swept by, a pair of eyebrows seemed to spread her wings and move smartly, but it was perfectly harmonious with the graceful big peony on her head, in Lin Yun'er's eyes, Although it is not beautiful, the collocation is not unreasonable.

This woman is the mistress of the entire Cui Mansion, the wife of Cui Hong, the general of the protector of the country, Hongnong Yang, Yang Yan, and standing next to her is a slender woman, looking at her appearance is invisible, and the one who has been standing silently beside the Yang family is Cui Hong's concubine, Yang Yan's sister, Yang Meiyu. Behind the two of them there was a little lady, about younger than Huang Zishan, and behind her, there were two rows of more than a dozen slaves.

Because the grade of Cui Hong, the general of the protector of the country, is from the third grade, and the grade of the county lord Ouyang is from the first grade, so Yang Yan did not dare to speak too loudly, and saluted Ouyang Lan again and again, "Cui Yang and the daughter of the Cui family have seen the county lord Taishan. ”

Ouyang Lan glanced at Lin Yun'er and said softly, "But is there her?" She was referring to Cui Yun, the fourth mother of the Cui family.

Lin Wan'er only then knew the purpose of Ouyang Lan's trip, she wanted to vent for her, and she recalled the words that Ouyang Lan had put down to her in the Buddhist hall, and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and asked back, "Is the county lord really interested in the garden of Cui's mansion?" ”

As if something had been discovered, Ouyang Lan hurriedly coughed lightly and said, "Hurry up, I didn't expect your mansion etiquette to be so thorough, which makes the county lord ashamed." She smiled and looked at Yang Yan, who was a little plump.

Yang Yan said, "The county lord is polite, the arrival of the county lord in our backyard can be described as full of brilliance, I have heard that the county lord is a beautiful woman with outstanding appearance, and now when I see it, I think this rumor is true." ”

Ouyang Lan was used to hearing flattery, although she didn't like it either, but she still had a hint of joy in her heart, but said, "I don't know what flowers you have to appreciate?" Let's hear it. ”

Yang Yan paused, and made a color to Yang Meiyu beside her, Yang Meiyu immediately stepped forward and said, "If you go back to the county lord, we have a begonia forest in Cui's Mansion, and the forest is also full of all kinds of flowers, including Yueji, peonies, peonies, proud chrysanthemums, narcissus, purple orchids, jasmine, and the flowers are blooming in autumn, which can be described as a hundred flowers." ”

"Anything else is good to say, this narcissus alone, cultivation is extremely difficult, this is our Ah Lang brought back from the country of Posa, Ah Lang is still afraid that he will not be able to live, and specially invited a florist from the country of Po Sa to carefully cultivate, the flowers that originally bloomed in spring next year are now blooming." Yang Yan smiled from ear to ear, "At that time, please also ask the county lord and everyone to appreciate it." ”

"It's nature!" Hearing the introduction of the two Yang families, Ouyang Lan and all the ladies couldn't hold back the expectations in their hearts, and silently wanted to try.

Yang Yan saw Lin Yun'er beside Ouyang Lan by the way, but saw her sitting there so indifferently, as if all this had nothing to do with her, she silently looked at the spiced tea in a daze, quiet but mysterious. When Yang Yan was about to say something, Ouyang Lan got up and said, "It's not early, let's go enjoy the flowers." ”

Yang Yan and Yang Meiyu withdrew from a road and said to the dozen or so slaves behind them, "Lead the way for all the ladies." ”

More than a dozen slaves and maids got the order, and they walked to the ladies one after another, Yang Yan said, "County Lord, although the garden of our mansion is small, the road is not easy to walk, please forgive me." ”

Ouyang Lan took Lin Yun'er's hand and raised her chin slightly, "It's okay!" “

The two of them didn't plan to enjoy any flowers, and they didn't care much about those ladies and ladies, so they also reached an agreement at this time, and they didn't want to be present to join in the fun with them.

Walking out of the half-pillar incense, the slave maid in front of them led the two to a shrub forest, "County Lord, Huang Niangzi, this begonia forest was planted by Aunt Yang in the house." "The so-called Yang Meiyu, the concubine of Aunt Yang Cui Hong, Yang Yan only gave birth to Cui Yun, the fourth mother of the Cui family, Cui Hai, the eldest son of the Cui family, and the rest of the Cui family's three daughters were all born to Yang Meiyu, which shows that she is extremely favored, but when you look at Yang Yan's arrogance, Yang Meiyu's groveling can be concluded that Yang Meiyu's wisdom is only far higher than Yang Yan.

Begonias, red like fire, Ouyang Lan looks extremely rare, in the north, in addition to the wind and sand and snow, she has never seen such delicate and delicate flowers, a road has opened in the middle of the forest, and the road paved with bluestone slabs is now paved with blown petals, and the fallen flowers are colorful.

The guide slave and maid introduced several of them into the begonia garden, and then went deeper, there is a rockery forest, there is a pond in the middle of the rockery forest, and a spring water flows out of the rockery at the end of the pond. For there is a source of living water. The pond is full of duckweed, and a pavilion is built on the duckweed, standing at the pavilion, you can also listen to the spring and enjoy the scenery, which is also pleasant.

Only to the pavilion, but saw the other side of the bluestone road came from a burst of frolic, a few people fixed their eyes, not far away but saw two ladies are holding a silk fan fluttering butterflies, one is wearing a light pink skirt, the hair combs double bun, the other is wearing a dark crimson half-arm skirt, combing is a meteor bun, they are each followed by a maid, smiling very happy.

The two ladies did not appear in the water pavilion just now, and the guide slave maid understood, so she explained, "The one who wears dark crimson is the Jiuniang of Pei Shilang's family, and the other is the fifth niang of the house." "Pei Yufei, the ninth mother of the Pei family, was born to Pei Shilang's concubine, and Cui Yurou, the fifth mother of the Cui family, was born to the Yang family of Cui Hong's concubine, both of whom were concubines and of the same age, so they naturally played together.

After playing around for a while, Cui Yurou noticed the two people sitting in the pavilion, and quickly collected her emotions, walked to the front of the pavilion, bowed slightly, and said, "Cui Yurou, I have seen a few distinguished sisters." "This is taught by Yang Meiyu, there will be many ladies from aristocratic families in the house today, if you see them, no matter what their status, ask for gifts according to age so as not to lose the number of courtesies.
