At the turn of summer and autumn, the scenery of Jinyangjing is bright and sunny, with the scorching sun gradually gentle, the "travel" of the ladies and nobles is becoming more and more frequent, cruising the river, tea party, stepping on horses, enjoying the scenery, all kinds of activities emerge one after another, it is "the golden wind does not urge the yellow flowers to bloom, and the fragrant cars and white horses come one after another".

On the Streamer River, two painting boats are slowly in the water, carved vermilion windows, the veils dance with the wind, and the red sleeves of the brocade clothes can be vaguely seen, and the clouds and temples are jade.

The weeping willows on the embankment are graceful, the green grass is like felt, there are wild chrysanthemums dotted among them, yellow and white vermilion purple, in the sunny autumn color, blooming with the bright stars of the stars.

In the general painting boat at the beginning, the eldest princess sat in a seat, surrounded by many noble ladies, most of whom cranked their fans, saying some funny words to amuse, and there were also many noble ladies, with a little curious eyes, constantly looking at the old lady Dong who came hand in hand with the eldest princess, among them, there was Mrs. Zhen.

She raised her chin slightly, her eyes habitually went down the bridge of her nose, and she observed Mrs. Dong's words and deeds quite critically, with a cold smile on the corner of her lips.

"The old lady has been away from Jinyang for many years, and now she is back, but she is still used to it?" The question is Mrs. Jin, the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the current left prime minister Jin Rong, although she is not confused, but because of proper maintenance, a slightly round face, there is not a trace of fine lines, at this time the expression is pleasant, and the view is graceful and amiable.

Jin Yan, the son of Jin Xiang, is now in charge of political affairs, and Dong Yue, the son of Mrs. Dong, has been appointed by the Holy Lord as the senator of Zhongshu Province.

"It's been more than ten years since I've been away from Kyoto, and I'm really a little unaccustomed." Old Madam Dong smiled and shouted.

Mrs. Kong smiled slightly: "Originally, when I heard that the old lady had returned to Beijing, I wanted to hand over a post to visit, but considering that Senator Dong had only returned to Beijing to take up his post, it was not good to come to the house rashly because it had not been properly arranged." ”

"Exactly, I was sick a while ago, and now I am better, but I didn't know about the old lady's return to Beijing, I was negligent for a while, and I didn't hand over the invitation, but the eldest princess invited the old lady to go with me, so I made up for my carelessness." Today's master, Mrs. Wen also said with a smile, but her eyes looked at Mrs. Zhen.

Since the first time she saw Mrs. Dong's ancestors and grandchildren, Mrs. Zhen became cold, Mrs. Wen was reminded by her mother, and she realized that it was for Zhen Mo's marriage, Mrs. Zhen wanted to marry with the Weiguo Mansion, but the eldest princess seemed to be more concerned about Dong's Ayin, so Mrs. Zhen was a little unhappy, Mrs. Wen's words were explaining to her - I didn't mean to block you, I really didn't expect that the eldest princess would invite the Dong family to go with her.

"Ah Ruan just returned to Beijing, there are many things in the house, and there are some water and soil adaptations, and the body does not stop, today I am worried that I can't talk to you juniors, so I forcibly pulled her to be a companion." Of course, the eldest princess understood Mrs. Wen's intentions, and said lightly.

Mrs. Zhen suddenly spoke: "Last time, I heard the old lady mention that your granddaughter has not yet decided to marry?" ”

Old Madam Dong was stunned, not knowing the intentions of the crown princess, the mother, but the eldest princess glanced at Mrs. Zhen: "Do you want to be a matchmaker for Ayin?" ”

Mrs. Zhen didn't expect the eldest princess to ask such a question, her heart sank again, and the corners of her lips curled slightly: "I have a nephew, who is also the prisoner of the Guozi Prison at the moment, and this year is sixteen, just discussing relatives, my sister-in-law is inquiring about the famous lady, I saw the lady of the old lady's family last time, and I saw the words and deeds are very elegant, I really moved my mind." ”

The eldest princess smiled slightly and did not answer.

Mrs. Zhen's intention is very obvious, she just wants to clear the obstacles for Zhen Mo, her daughter ......

The eldest princess has no leisure to understand the Zhen family's idle affairs, let alone teach her daughter for others, so she is noncommittal.

However, Mrs. Dong has long had the intention of marrying the Weiguo Mansion, and has reached a preliminary intention with the eldest princess, but because the family affairs between Su Lian and Jiafu are still in "Najib" and have not been settled, the family affairs of the juniors have naturally been delayed, so the two sides have not officially exchanged Geng posts, and it is not good to publicize it at this time, so Mrs. Dong had to perfunctory: "Because I returned to Beijing, I am very busy, and these things cannot be taken into account for the time being." ”

Mrs. Zhen was a little unhappy, and her face became a little calmer.

Mrs. Kong was secretly a little anxious, at the moment, the most important thing was not Zhen Mo's family affairs, but the belonging of the Su family's aunt, seeing that the eldest princess had a very ambiguous attitude, but Mrs. Zhen was still entangled in the affairs of the Dong family, and she really didn't know the severity, so she handed over a warning look.

Helplessly, Mrs. Zhen was immersed in secret annoyance and did not pay attention.

Mrs. Kong had to give Mrs. Wen a look.

Mrs. Wen immediately smiled: "I entered the palace a few days ago, and I talked to the queen about the things outside this time, if you want to say that our third highness, this time I really learned a lesson, I heard that in order to ask for the eldest princess's forgiveness, I actually took the blame, I don't know if this matter is serious?" ”

Here it is! It seems that the queen is really anxious, but the eldest princess doesn't want her to be so calculating a pampered granddaughter of her own, so she said lightly: "San Lang's move is really ridiculous, if you want to say that you want to ask for guilt, you shouldn't come to my Patriotic Mansion." ”

"I think the Third Highness should be like this." Mrs. Wen shook the fan and smiled: "Your Royal Highness admires the princess's eldest granddaughter very much, and it was easy to ask the queen mother and the saint to marry, but she was greedy for a while and caused such a turmoil. ”

The ladies suddenly widened their eyes a little, and they paid close attention to the eldest princess's expression.

Especially Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Qin, they came to the door earlier, but they couldn't estimate the attitude of the eldest princess.

and Mrs. Kong, who is also extremely urgent, as long as the eldest princess answers, she will admit this family business.

The eldest princess was very angry!

The queen is really too pressing, while letting the three princes ask for guilt again, and in public to give affection, this son even let the maiden sister persecute softly in front of everyone, and the commission is really a strong force that does not achieve the goal, the eldest princess is already a little dissatisfied with the three princes, and this son is even more determined to deny this marriage.

So he just glanced at Mrs. Wen coldly, and raised the corner of his eye: "Why don't I know when the saint opened his mouth to give marriage?" I don't know where you heard such rumors, Mrs. Wen, these people are really bold and reckless, and they dare to falsely spread the holy will, if the Holy One investigates it......"

At this point, Mrs. Kong's mother and daughter had already changed their expressions, and Mrs. Kong hurriedly smiled: "She just lost her words for a while, and she just thought that the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother treated the Su family Wuniang differently, so she guessed ......."

"As courtiers, we can't be vain." The eldest princess said coldly, and no longer paid attention to the looks of those noble ladies who were either frightened or happy, and only gossiped with Mrs. Dong, let her see the scenery on the bank of the Streamer River, and talked about the changes in Jinyangjing in the past ten years, chatting about some old things.

Mrs. Kong and Mrs. Wen were heavy in their hearts, and they were not interested for a while - the eldest princess had such an attitude, and the meaning of rejection was already very obvious, but her status was noble, and she was the aunt of the saint, not to mention the queen, I was afraid that the saint would not violate her wishes, and this marriage was not changed.

Thinking that the fourth prince would have such a powerful in-law as the Weiguo Mansion, Mrs. Kong immediately sat up.

But Mrs. Zhen felt fortunate that the third prince's family affair had stopped, and the queen had to pin all her hopes on the marriage between Ah Mo and the prince of Weiguo in order to close the Weiguo Mansion, so that this matter was eight points certain.

So as soon as his mood changed, he no longer looked at Mrs. Dong in his eyes.

But said that on the painting boat at the back, the little ladies were accompanied by three or five pairs, drinking tea and gossiping, but they constantly had curious, tentative, and critical eyes, and from time to time they aimed at Yichen who was sitting together with Wen's lady, Zhen Mo, and Kong Lan. It's not that they haven't seen the eldest daughter of the Weiguo Mansion, as a noble girl with a comparable status, and they are of the same age, they naturally have to interact with each other in the past, but who made Yichen become everyone's after-dinner conversation in the past half a month?

Looking at the Su aunt who is still said to be dignified, but a little wooden, how can He De attract the three princes to be "confused"?

The eyes of the ladies were a little puzzled and jealous.

Yichen was not sluggish, he naturally felt those peeps, and gradually felt a little like pins and needles.

The same person who sits on pins and needles is Dong Ayin.

Today, she boarded the boat with the Su sisters, and immediately felt the cold and fierce gaze of the two Daosen, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Zhen's Amo, who was a one-sided relationship, and Ah Yin was misguided, but when she looked closely, the two sharp eyes had turned into enthusiasm and joy, as if it was just her illusion just now.

Since the painting boat sailed out of the Yueqiaodu, Zhen Mo's warm treatment has not retreated, holding Ayin's hand, and constantly introducing her to strange little ladies, Ayin only felt that this eagerness was too abrupt, and she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

In fact, Zhen Mo's mind is also up and down.

She didn't want to attend today, but her mother insisted on it, and in desperation, she could only face the Su family hard, and when she saw the eldest princess, she felt even more uneasy, but when she saw Dong Yin, she was immediately annoyed.

The eldest princess actually brought the ancestors and grandchildren of the Dong family to the invitation, it seems that she wants to show her extraordinary friendship with the Dong family, such an attitude makes Zhen Mo disheartened, and has a surging jealousy.

Su Xun is the lover she chose, with such a noble background and a husband who is both civil and military, she will not lose too much of her eldest sister.

What about the crown princess, if the prince's position is to be stabilized, there is still no need for the support of the Weiguo Mansion, not to mention that the prince has fallen under her pomegranate skirt......

Zhen Mo is very confident, if she marries Su Jing, she will be able to grow old with her white head, sing together with the piano, and be a couple for the rest of her life, so that wherever he can see, only her smile is like a flower.

This alone will make many people blush, even in front of the eldest sister, it is also a kind of superiority.

But is all this going to end in an accident? She was not reconciled.

Although she was worried that the eldest princess would tell her mother about it and use this as an excuse to completely reject the Zhen Mansion's intention to marry, Zhen Mo still couldn't help but hope that there might be a glimmer of hope that things might take a turn for the better.

While smiling at Dong's Ayin, she observed the attitude of the Su sisters, measuring whether they had insight into their own ugly affairs.

Seeing that Yichen was sitting uneasy, Zhen Mo suddenly proposed: "Today's wind and sun are beautiful, why don't sit in the boat, let's go out on the deck to breathe, don't live up to the beautiful scenery along the embankment." ”

Yijing first expressed great interest, and without saying anything, he first pulled Yichen out, and then took Ayin's hand affectionately.

"Yo, this Dong Ayin and the Su sisters are walking together, it seems like a family." Jin's Sixth Niang suddenly gave Zhen Mo a meaningful emotion.

Zhen Mo's expression did not change, smiled and bowed slightly, only glanced at the two little ladies of the Wen family, let them stumble on others, and then went out of the boat gracefully.

But he didn't pay attention to the corners of Jin's Liuniang's lips slightly pursed, which seemed to be full of disdain.
