Chapter 208: The Old Man Reunites (Part I)

Wen Yi looked up at the place where everyone's eyes were focused, and saw Zheng Lijun walking over, shining brightly and radiantly.

She is wearing a light green collar jacket, covered with a silver-pink plum magpie pattern satin half-sleeved straight-necked placket jacket, wearing a multicolored Luo skirt, take a closer look, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue five shallow leno layers, faintly sandwiched with silver wires, the wind blows gently, it is like a colorful auspicious cloud flying up. A crow's good hair is divided into two bundles, the upper bun is only simply combed into a round bun, and a jade hairpin is inserted on the left and right. The rest of the hair was tied with a golden bundle of fish beard, and a pearl the size of a dragon's eye was set on it. In addition, Zheng Lijun has no other jewelry on her body, not even an earring bracelet.

Rao is like this, as soon as she entered the garden, she also attracted everyone's attention.

Although Wen Yi is deeply disgusted with Zheng Lijun, she also laments that she is very good at dressing up. When I saw her in the past, I only thought she was gorgeously decorated and extravagant, but when I saw her today, I found that she was just a flower girl. This dress is lined with her flower and moon appearance, no wonder people in the capital praise her as a beauty. Looking back at Wen Hui again, she also put a lot of effort into dressing up today, but she was a little too decent, which made people feel that Zheng Lijun was compared to her.

It's just that Wen Yi can't help but have a lot of heart in her heart, guessing what considerations Zheng Lijun put so much effort into dressing up on such an occasion? Although the prince of Dongping will also come, but the relationship between the two has been decided, and it was decided in such an embarrassing situation. Otherwise, when everyone saw her, they talked about it, wouldn't they have pulled out the ugly thing that day and said it?

Wen Hui was staring at Zheng Lijun's face, her face pale and her eyes were angry. Wen Xian moved her body uncomfortably, wanting to reach out to her head to touch the jade hairpin, but she took it back halfway through, and shrank her body slightly behind the flowers. The surrounding ladies talked in private, and someone had already mentioned: "She did such an ugly thing, but she was embarrassed to run out and show her eyes......"

"Who calls for the good life of others? has a good aunt, even if such an ugly thing happens, it can also make her marry beautifully......"

"Pity the prince of Dongping, will he come today? It will definitely make people laugh, and this woman is too shameless...... "This is the idea of a beautiful lady who is fascinated by the demeanor of Zhu Jingcheng, the prince of Dongping.

Some people also whispered: "It's no wonder that the prince of Dongping will take a fancy to her, she does have a bit of a good look......"

"What about a little bit of style? Relying on the posture of hooking up with the east and hooking up with the west, it is not enough to get the prince's blue eyes, but he wants to be willing to fall to seduce other men, isn't it for people to break it? If I were her, I would have been killed by a headfirst collision, how could I have such a thick skin, dressed up in a fancy way, and then come out to hook up? ”

This was a bit excessive, Wen Yi couldn't help but follow the voice and look over, vaguely recognizing that the person who spoke was a Miss Tong who had met at the last Meihui meeting, and her name seemed to be Yuqing, the daughter of a certain uncle's house, and the family had fallen a little, but her identity was still there. I don't know if it's because I'm not on good terms with Zheng Lijun, but I actually said such things in front of everyone. Several of the ladies who heard it next to her looked at her in shock, and then took a few steps back to the side.

At this time, Wen Yi heard Wen Hui snort lowly, turned her head to look, and saw her lower her head, her eyes faintly showed a bit of ridicule, and her eyes looked at Zheng Lijun with a look of ridicule. Wen Yi frowned, seeing that Zheng Lijun had finished greeting a few acquaintances, she turned her head and hurriedly pulled Wen Hui and turned her body in a different direction, just facing away from Zheng Lijun, so that the other party would not see her ridicule.

Zheng Lijun's gaze fixed on the back of Wen Hui's head for a moment, and then suddenly turned to Wen Yi, who only pretended to be admiring the peony blooming in the flowers in front of her, and seemed to be fascinated, not noticing Zheng Lijun's gaze at all. Zheng Lijun smiled contemptuously, glanced at Wen Xian again, her eyes stayed on the jade hairpin on her head for a short while, her face sank, she turned her head, smiled again, and walked in the direction of the grass pavilion while talking and laughing with a few acquaintances who came up, and when she walked past the three Wen Yi sisters, she also glanced at Wen Hui, chuckled, raised her neck and left.

Wen Yi frowned again, Wen Xian's face was full of anxiety, but Wen Hui was already so angry that her face turned white, she tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and exhaled deeply. There were those ladies next to her who began to look at her quietly, and then whispered to each other, the content was nothing more than Zheng Lijun and Gu Wenhui's bad relationship, it turned out to be more than just rumors and so on.

Wen Hui shook her handkerchief and turned her head away, Wen Xian was so anxious that she stomped her feet, chased after her and stopped her, "Where are you going again?" Didn't you promise to follow us all the time when you went out? Wen Hui tilted her neck: "I didn't say I wouldn't be with you, but I thought it was too stuffy there, and I just wanted to breathe in the air elsewhere, what?" None of this? The fifth sister can't help but be too lenient" Wen Xian bit her lip and forced herself to say: "Although you have a hard mouth here, if you cause trouble again and go home, I must tell my grandmother" Wen Hui sneered: "If you like to sue, just sue, don't put a shelf in front of me, something"

Wen Xian's face also turned white, Wen Yi didn't hear it, so she pulled them away and persuaded them with good words: "What are you arguing about?" We are here to be guests, what is the rudeness, is it just a person to lose face? Then he turned his head to look at Wen Xian first: "Fifth sister, you know the temperament of the sixth sister, she has suffered some grievances, and it is normal for people not to want to stay there, let's just accompany her more." It's not right for her to lose her temper, but if you quarrel with her, won't it make outsiders see the joke? Turning to Wen Hui again, "Miss Zheng is over there, didn't you say that you want to show her that she is living a good life without her?" This time she is arguing with her sisters, she sees it, and she has to laugh at her sister."

This made both of them shut up. Wen Xian couldn't help but secretly look around, and found that there were a few people staring at them, and they didn't know if they were talking about themselves, so she panicked immediately, and hurriedly said: "I don't talk to you, so I don't lose my identity."

Wen Hui glanced at her, but her eyes couldn't help but look at Zheng Lijun, seeing that the other party was talking and laughing with a few acquaintances, she was so unhappy, and her heart was depressed. Take a closer look, Zheng Lijun has a very good complexion, her fair complexion is light red, which is by no means something that fat powder can do, and the cheeks that have been emaciated when they met in Dahuguo Temple last time have been rounded again, and a pair of eyes are shining with pleasure. Wen Hui's heart was sour: People are in good spirits when they are happy, although Zheng Lijun has lost her reputation, she can promise to marry her sweetheart, and she will get married soon, how can her complexion be bad? On the other hand, if you are forced to obey your parents' orders and marry a man you don't like, no matter how good the rouge gouache is, it is difficult to hide your gloomy mood. It's ridiculous that he still tried his best to dress up, vainly trying to compare Zheng Lijun, but he didn't know that his style fell in the eyes of the other party he had known since childhood, and he was afraid that he was going to make people laugh and break his belly, right?

Wen Hui's expression was gloomy, Wen Yi saw it in her eyes, and her heart was depressed, but she felt that it was not a way for the three of them to stand here, so she asked, "How about we go to the other side and take a look?" I saw a few acquaintances over there, and it was good to talk to them in the past. ”

Wen Xian didn't pay attention to what she said, and her eyes were fixed on the beauties who had just entered the garden gate. The one who is the leader is like Zhu Nuan, the little county monarch of the Luwang Mansion. A few of the peers are also gorgeously dressed, and they all look like they have extraordinary family backgrounds. There are a few ladies who greeted them with a smile, saying "all the county lords and county monarchs", and they are all the daughters of the clan. Wen Xian couldn't help but move two steps on her feet, but turned back to look at Wen Hui and Wen Yi with a hesitant expression.

Wen Yi sighed secretly in her heart, but she didn't know, but she asked Fang Cai's words again. Wen Xian didn't say anything, her eyes were only staring at Wen Hui, but Wen Hui was stunned and didn't know what to look at, she was actually in a daze.

Not far away, Zheng Lijun and the familiar ladies came one by one:

“…… Didn't you say that Ling Mei also went to Beijing? Why don't you see it today? ”

The corners of Zheng Lijun's mouth curled: "She has always been used to staying in the countryside, where has she seen such a world?" No more jokes. ”

"The flower you're wearing today is really beautiful, is it a new product made in? No wonder it's so good. I have never seen a better hairpin, chic, and novel, and only your appearance, such a style, can be worthy of this hairpin. ”

Zheng Lijun's expression sank, and then he smiled: "It's not internal, but it's almost inseparable." It was something specially sent by the prince. However, it has the advantage of being chic, and it is not very valuable. ”

"Ah, it turned out to be sent by the prince? It's so thoughtful. You're all about to get married, and you're blessed to send new and unique jewelry to please you."

When Wen Yi heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Wen Hui.

Wen Hui knocked over the five-flavor bottle in her heart, swallowed her saliva, and reluctantly said, "Sister Fang Cai didn't say it...... Are you looking for the young lady of the Liu family? Why don't you leave? With that, he took Wen Yi's hand and left.

Wen Xian was secretly angry for the words of those ladies praising the jade hairpin worn by Zheng Lijun, and hurriedly followed, and when she passed by the group of clan girls, she saw Wen Yi stop, pulled Wen Hui to bless them, and said hello to Zhu Nuan, she hurriedly stopped and saluted together.

Zhu Nuan didn't have any friendship with Wen Hui, and only nodded at Wen Xian, but said to Wen Yi with a smile: "You are here, Mei'er just told me about you, but I don't have time for a while, you can go to her to play, I want to come to Sister Ruan and they have also arrived, and I will come to talk to you when I am free." Then he took a step closer and lowered his voice and said, "I was originally going to call Yao'er over, but among the people who came today, there is one who doesn't deal with her very well, and he has just returned to Beijing from other places." I was afraid that the man would trouble her, so I didn't send the post. You have to explain it to me when you go back, it's not that I have the intention to be lazy. She knew that man, too. ”

Wen Yi nodded: "I know, I will pass on the word for you." ”

Zhu Nuan smiled: "I'll call someone to come to you in a while, and I'm going to sit in my courtyard." Today's flower viewing party is only open when there is something, we are just accompanying the guests, let them play, let's enjoy us. After that, he smiled politely at Wen Xian, and went back to the sisters.

Wen Yi was still guessing there that what was the "thing" for the flower viewing party held in Luwangfu today? Wen Xian couldn't hide the loss on her face. When we met last time, Zhu Nuan treated her very kindly, although she was not courteous, why didn't she even want to talk to her today? After thinking about it, I guessed that it was probably because there were many clan girls present, Zhu Nuan didn't snub the nobles for her, didn't the other party invite them to go back and talk again? Thinking about it like this, she felt better, so she smiled reluctantly at Wen Yi: "Since the county gentleman intends to invite us to her courtyard to talk, let's not go far, just find a place to sit nearby, so that people don't have to look back and can't find us." ”

Wen Yi looked surprised. Zhu Nuan's invitation, didn't she refer to her, Lin Mei'er, the Ruan family sisters and others? It doesn't seem to refer to...... But at this time, she didn't say anything, and only answered vaguely.

The three sisters soon found the ladies of Liu Shangshu's family. The two who came were all young ladies, one was Liu Su, who was thirteen years old, was born by Aunt Gui, and the other was Liu Yin, who had just passed her tenth birthday, but she was born to Aunt Bai, who had admired her name for a long time. Wen Hui and Liu Su are familiar with each other, and they seem to have a good relationship, but they can be said to be blind to Liu Yin, and as soon as they met, they only pulled Liu Su to talk and asked her why she didn't go to see herself these days.

Liu Su was born quite Aunt Xiao Gui, white and clean, clear and delicate, although she is young, she also has a unique style. She smiled and said to Wen Hui: "Isn't it because I heard that my sister is not lightly ill, and I am afraid of disturbing my sister's recuperation?" I wanted to see my sister several times, but my mother didn't allow me, for fear that I would be too sick. I also said that even if I was sick, I was not afraid, and I could be with my sister as a companion, so I didn't dare to mention it again after my mother scolded me. But I am talking about my sister every day, the eldest brother prays for my sister in front of the Buddha every day, and I also followed the Buddha beans to go back, I sent the little girl to send the Buddha beans to my sister, and my sister asked someone to cook porridge and eat it, and I will never get sick again."

Wen Hui was happy to hear this, and twisted her little face: "It's okay, it's not in vain that I hurt you before." He added: "Last year, my aunt went back to Pingyang to live, but you didn't come with me, I miss you." Liu Su smiled: "I want to go too, but I'm sick again, and I begged my mother for a long time, but my mother refused to agree." I'm afraid that my sister will forget me, and when my mother comes home, why did my sister forget to give me a gift? ”

At that time, there was a shortage of soldiers, where was the mood to think of any gifts? Wen Hui's face was staggered, and she coughed uncomfortably, and then changed the topic.

Liu Yin was thrown aside, Wen Xian was full of worries and had no time to pay attention to her, but Wen Yi was thinking that her biological mother had added so much trouble to her marriage with Liu Dongxing, and she was entangled in her heart, just faintly seeing the ceremony, and she was not in the mood to talk to her. Liu Yin pouted, her eyes were full of grievances, and she suddenly shouted: "Big brother is here"

Liu Su and Wen Hui immediately stopped talking, turned their heads to look at each other, and sure enough, they saw Liu Dongning wearing a light green bamboo leaf pattern straight jacket and a plain jacket, walking towards them. He was thinner than when he saw him last year, his hands were protruding, his chin was pointed, and his eye sockets were slightly sunken, but his face was full of surprise, and he looked fine.

When Wen Hui saw him, her face changed and she turned her head away. Liu Su tugged at her sleeve, but she broke away. Wen Yi secretly said that it was not good in her heart, and quietly pushed her. She bit her lip and lowered her head to silence her.

Liu Dongning didn't seem to see anything, his eyes were only staring at her, and when he stopped three feet in front of her, he showed a gentle smile and said softly: "Sixth cousin, you ...... Here it comes? ”
