said that Ling Yan secretly lifted the curtain in the soft sedan chair, and at a glance, she saw several brocade-clothed young men on the verandah over there talking and laughing past. One of them was as tall as a green bamboo, and he was dressed in an inky brocade mink fur with a big coat that made him stand out. Although it was far away, he could tell at a glance that it was Chu Zixi.

With such a demeanor and such a demeanor, Ling Yan couldn't help but be stunned.

"This young lady, it's freezing, please put down the curtain." The old mother of the Guogong Mansion who followed reminded loudly.

Ling Yan hurriedly retracted her hand, and Chu Zixi's appearance still appeared in her mind. I reached out and touched my face, but I only felt hot.

She blushed, she didn't know what she thought, and her slightly raised peach blossom eyes were full of water. But I didn't know that walking outside the sedan chair, the old mother who had just spoken out was disdainfully holding the soft sedan chair and pouting with another servant.

Gu Shi and Ling Miao each sat in a soft sedan chair and walked a little far ahead, so they didn't know that Ling Yan was already behaving absurdly as soon as she entered the door. Only Song Rongrong in the back and Ling Yan's sedan chair were close. She was a little clever, and she didn't lift the curtain as boldly as Ling Yan, but only moved her body cautiously and poked out through the gap in the curtain. Hearing the old mother's words, she shrank back again, but she was despising in her heart, Ling Yan is still known as the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and when she arrives in the Guogong Mansion, she is not a bun? It's not as safe as her Song Rongrong!

Just thinking about it, I felt that the soft sedan chair fell to the ground, and then the curtain was lifted, and another well-dressed mother-in-law reached out to help her down, and muttered: "This young lady, please." ”

Song Rongrong bowed her head, tried her best to maintain a dignified posture, followed behind Gu and Ling Miao in small steps all the way, and walked along the verandah into the flower hall for hospitality.

At this time, there were already a lot of people in the flower hall, all dressed in brocade clothes, laughing around an old lady with a kind face in the middle.

"Yo, who's here?" Some people who recognized Gu's made fun first, but it was a beautiful woman about thirty years old.

Gu Shi smiled and nodded at the beautiful woman, looking more familiar.

walked to the middle and took three girls to salute the old county lord.

The old county lord hurriedly called for help, and said with some resentment: "Ah Wan, if I don't invite you in the next post, you won't come to talk to me?" ”

Ah Wan is Gu's maiden name.

In the past, when he was not out of the cabinet, Gu's popularity in the Gaomen in Beijing was very good.

Gu Shi smiled and said, "Where do you dare to disturb you at will." ”

After greeting each other with the ladies in the house, they all sat down, and the old county lord's eyes fell on the three young girls.

"Which is your daughter?"

After a pause, he smiled again, "Don't say it yet, tell me to guess." ”

His eyes were fixed on the three of them, and he pointed at Ling Miao, who was standing solemnly with his back straight, and said with a smile: "It must be this one." ”

Ling Miao took a step forward and bowed her head, "Ling Miao has seen the old lady. ”

She was a little excited.

The old county lord and her grandmother are both members of the clan, and if it is according to the seniority, she should also call the old county lord an aunt and grandmother.

"Good boy, you look up and let me see."

Ling Miao gritted her teeth and raised her head.

Not only the old county lord, but also many women in the house gasped.

"You ......" the old county lord Huo Ran got up, his gaze locked on Ling Miao's face. Ling Miaoqing's eyes met her, full of admiration.

"Old lady, ...... are you" Since Gu saw through Ling Song's face, he didn't move around the capital much. Therefore, she has never seen Wei Ziying in the past, so naturally she has no way of knowing that her daughter is actually seven or eight points similar to Miss Wei in the boiling rebellion case a few days ago.

The old county lord closed his eyes, sat down slowly, and said with a reluctant smile, "It's that I recognized the wrong person, and I saw that this kid looked very kind." Come here, good boy, and tell me to take a closer look. ”

Ling Miao stepped forward and was pulled by the old county lord.

As she approached, the old county lord saw the rouge mole on her forehead. I also saw that although her appearance was very similar to Wei Ziying, she was obviously younger, and her figure was not as tall and slender as Wei Ziying.

The old county lord couldn't tell if he was disappointed or what he was in his heart, so he quickly covered his emotions and said to Ling Miao: "Su Ri, why haven't I seen you come out and walk around?"

He said to Gu again, "I'm afraid I'm going to blame you, I haven't been able to go out for the past few years." ”

The Duchess of Chu Guo smiled and said: "If I have such a daughter like a flower, I will hide her and not go out." ”

The room was full of laughter.

The old county lord took off a jasper bracelet on his wrist and put it on Ling Miao's hand, Ling Miao wanted to excuse herself, but she blocked it, and only smiled: "If you don't want it, you will be separated from us." ”

Ling Miao had to thank her.

Ling Yan looked at the bracelet that was blue and clear, full of water, like a pool of spring water, Ling Miaohao's wrist was like jade, it was indescribably good-looking.

Envious and jealous for a while, he also stepped forward and said with a coquettish smile: "The old lady is really kind." ”

"This is ......" The old county lord is a very lenient person, although Ling Yan's behavior is very abrupt, but he is not willing to thin the little girl's face because of this.

Gu didn't look at it, so Ling Yan was ugly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw several noble ladies with disdain on their faces, so he had no choice but to get up, "This is the girl in the third room of our house, Ah Yan." ”

Now that Ling Yan has been introduced, it is not good to have only one Song Rongrong left, so he pointed at Song Rongrong and said, "This is the girl from our cousin's wife's house in our house." ”

The old county lord only glanced at it twice, signaled the maid next to him to give a gift, and said with a smile: "They are all Peugeot's children." ”

She only praised her appearance, but she was not as good a child as Ling Miao. Ling Yan has always been proud of her appearance, but after listening to the old county lord's words at this moment, she was a little complacent, and her eyebrows and eyes seemed frivolous.

Song Rongrong keenly felt what seemed wrong, but what was wrong was not clear.

The two took the purse from the maid beside the old county lord and thanked them in unison.

"Grandmother, the young ladies and sons from all the provinces are playing in the warm incense dock behind, why don't I send these three sisters over." Chen, the eldest grandmother of the Chu State Mansion, got up and smiled.

The old county lord nodded, and the Chen clan personally led Ling Miao and the others to the back garden.

The garden of the Guogong Mansion is naturally more spacious than the Hou Mansion, and the scenery is also superior.

Rockeries are piled up everywhere, rivers and ponds meander around, and pavilions and pavilions can be seen everywhere. If you look at it in spring and summer, it must be even more beautiful.

In the middle of the garden, Nuan Xiangwu is a delicate and small courtyard with a small two-story building inside. If you stand upstairs, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the garden.

Since today is to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms, this place is very suitable.

The Chen family sent Ling Miao and the others to Nuan Xiangwu, and there were already more than a dozen girls in Chinese costumes inside.

When everyone saw that Chen personally led the three girls in, they all stopped laughing and looked towards the door.

I saw three girls dressed in jade, one in red, and the other in extremely light pink and white, one clear and charming, one delicate and charming, just like the weak wind and willows, each with its own characteristics, but they have not seen much on weekdays.

"Aamy! You're willing to come out! ”

Before Chen could be introduced, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl jumped out of the crowd. This girl's round face, round eyes, and a round dimple on each cheek when she laughs, with surprise in her eyes, obviously she knew Ling Miao.

After thinking about it carefully, Ling Miao smiled and called, "Ayuan." ”

This girl was the young lady of the Cen family in General Weiyuan's mansion, and she was one of Ling Miao's few friends.

Seeing that the two of them knew each other, Chen simply smiled at Cen Yuan and said, "Cousin, since you know each other, I will only hand over the Ling family's sister to you." ”

Her mother and Cen Yuan's mother are cousins, and the relationship in this capital is like this, it has always been complicated, and when they turn corners, they can be relatives.

After Chen finished speaking, he left in a hurry, and when he left, he did not forget to tell the maids serving in the warm incense dock to be more careful.

Here, Cen Yuan had already pulled Ling Miao to the middle of the crowd and introduced them one by one.

Ling Miao looked at several familiar faces, and one of them stared at her intently, it was the second daughter of the Duke of Chu State, Chu Xuanhua.

She used to be very good with Chu Xuanhua. I don't know, after hearing the news of her "death", did this girl cry for herself?

sighed in his heart, and had the heart to inquire about his brother's news with Chu Xuanhua now, but he also knew that this was not a suitable place, so he had to endure it.

In the warm incense dock, they are all the daughters of sons and daughters who have been carefully cultivated in high-ranking families, even if some people were surprised when they saw Ling Miao's appearance, they all immediately concealed their different colors.

The Marquis of Wuding's Mansion is barely a second-rate noble family in Beijing, and Ling Song's reputation is not very good, so although Cen Yuan is leading, there are still a few people who look at Ling Miao with disdain.

Ling Miao had thought of it a long time ago, and she didn't mind, so she just sat down and talked to Cen Yuan.

Ling Yan glanced around the room, and when she didn't see Chu Zixi's figure, she couldn't help but be a little disappointed in her heart. But after thinking about it, Chu Zixi is also the master no matter what he says, and he will definitely come over in a while. Thinking of this, I cheered up again.

Since there were few people to talk to her, Ling Ya walked around by herself, pretending to admire the warm incense dock and came to the window and looked out.

Coincidentally, on the piano stand in front of the window, there is a guqin. It was originally used to relieve the boredom of these ladies, and there are many people in the Beijing who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and every time they meet, there will inevitably be a comparison.

There was a girl who saw that Ling Yan's eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, although her actions were a little frivolous, but compared to the high-ranking daughter who was strictly taught, she had a more natural charm, and her heart moved, so she smiled and said, "Is this also the young lady of the Marquis of Wuding?" ”

Ling Yan turned her head, her eyes fell on the head of the girl with beads and jewels inserted between her hair and temples, and smiled sweetly, "Hello sister, I am Ling Yan, a person from the third room of the Marquis of Wuding's mansion." ”

"It turned out to be Sister Ling." The girl took Ling Yan's hand affectionately, "I just saw you come straight to this piano stand, and it is obvious that you like this very much." I don't know if we have the blessing of ears, come and listen to my sister's fairy sound? ”
