Water Dream Pavilion up and down two floors, because the Jin Wangfu is also led to the living water of Shichahai into the house, so the back is the water pavilion near the water, you can climb the second floor in summer to enjoy the cool, in winter it is in the bottom of the dragon, the most warm in winter and cool in summer to go. There are a total of five rooms below, the center is the main hall where Princess Jin lives, and the two rooms next to each side are used to entertain guests when there are many people. At this moment, when Chen Lan followed the embroidered bamboo in, he saw that behind the eight large glazed screens in the main hall was full of warblers and swallows, and the eyes were dazzling with golden and brilliant embroidery.

Although they are close to each other, it is naturally not suitable to talk about family rites on such occasions where the daughters of the edicts gather, so Chen Lan settled down and took Chen Xi and Su Wan'er to meet them. Princess Jin pulled Chen Lan up, and waved her hand at the other two, sighing: "I thought that there was something in your family, and it didn't hurt for people to say that they couldn't come in the past, but my grandmother thought about it thoughtfully, saying that it has nothing to do with you, so you might as well come out and relax." By the way, third sister, this is Cousin Wan'er? ”

Su Wan'er had never seen such a scene in her life, Rao was always calm, and she had imagined it in her mind for two nights in a row, but when Princess Jin asked about it, she was still a little panicked, and after stepping forward, she didn't speak, and even her movements were a little stiff. At this moment, a chuckle came from the side.

"I didn't say that the second lady came, but I didn't expect Mrs. Tai to change to a young lady."

Chen Lan saw that Su Wan'er's face turned pale, and his heart couldn't help but move, and when he heard the reputation again, he saw that it was a girl who was about the same age as himself who spoke, but her face was unfamiliar, and she had never seen it in her impression. At this time, Xiuzhu, who was standing next to her, reminded in a low voice: "That's the fourth lady of the Runing Bo family, who has always been favored. ”

Ru Ningbo? I remember that when I inquired about the situation of those nobles in Beijing a few days ago, Yun'er mentioned that the Yang family seemed to have been in trouble for several years in order to inherit the title.

Chen Lan secretly wrote it down in his heart. Immediately after, a girl brought a brocade mattress, and the three of them officially bowed. Princess Jin said a few more words, and someone led their sisters down. Although the Marquis of Yangning's Mansion had just lost its title, the daughters in the main hall knew that with the origin of the Marquis of Yangning, Zhu's family and her daughter's granddaughter, there would always be other Chen family members to inherit the title. Therefore, what came today was the Chen family's room and the three-room daughter, and others knew it in their hearts. When the three Chen Lan sisters went down, several girls immediately surrounded them and chattered.

Chen Lan is not without memories of the past, therefore, compared to the past when no one paid attention to it, and now her enthusiasm is like fire, how can she not know that these are all illusions, but if her grandmother Zhu no longer pays attention to herself, these people will naturally snub her. Therefore, she only wore a gentle smile and occasionally answered a sentence or two.

is the opposite of her, Chen Xi, who has always been cold as ice, is surprisingly talkative, and can always quietly and wittily join those circles of talking and laughing. Seeing her behaving like this, those daughters were just that, but the ladies who were talking around Princess Jin were all aware of it, and exchanged glances with each other while talking.

It's just that Su Wan'er, a cousin of the Marquis of Yangning, is naturally uncared for, because the girl she brought is the same as the rest of the girls, they have been placed elsewhere, she only recognizes Chen Xi and Chen Lan here, and the others are all black, and for fear of getting the wrong person's identity, it is naturally not good to speak like usual. What makes her even more angry is that on weekdays, she can often say a few words to move people, but today she opened her mouth several times and no one paid attention. Seeing that Chen Lan quietly withdrew from the crowd, she hurriedly followed after a little thought.

Chen Lan had to come today, so she didn't have any intention of being reckless, looking at Chen Xi after a while, she became the center of people's attention, she simply didn't get in the way, and retreated to the side by herself. At this time, seeing Su Wan'er coming over, there was no pity in the Huguo Temple on her face, nor was she calm in the Chen family, but she couldn't hide her embarrassment, she didn't know what was going on, and she also had some guesses about the intentions of the Zhu family.

The Su family dared to come to the door to ask for marriage this time, because the old lady Chen saw that the Hou Mansion was embarrassed, and she would not dare to easily refuse to make a big deal about it; And the Zhu family probably used a delaying tactic, left Su Wan'er behind, and asked her to bring her to the palace, probably wanting her to see the real family atmosphere. In this kind of place, what beauty and talent are secondary, what matters is the family, what matters is the concubine, and what matters is the official position of the elders, otherwise you can only stay in the east and west and cannot come to this circle. As to whether the old lady has anything else to think about, only God knows

At this time, there were still a few families who did not come, so a girl held a lacquer tea tray and sent tea. can be sent to Su Wan'er, the girl who delivered the tea took the last remaining tea from the girl who served the tea and gave it to Chen Lan, and then bent her knees apologetically and said to Su Wan'er that the tea was finished, and she would come back later, and then both of them retreated. However, this time it was a quarter of an hour smaller, and because of the warmth in the room, Su Wan'er was already dry-mouthed, and she unconsciously had a little regret in her heart.

If you knew this was the case, you might as well not come!

"Cousin Wan'er."

Seeing Su Wan'er's shoulders tremble, she immediately looked at her with a forced smile, and Chen Lan smiled slightly: "My cousin is here for the first time, and I am not familiar with the situation here. I've already gone to urge the belated tea, and I'll deliver it in a moment. As for the people here, I don't know all of them, so I can't introduce you to them. There is such a plum appreciation in the Lantern Festival every year in the palace, but for most people, it is just better than who's sitting on it. When I go out to enjoy the plum blossoms, although the pavilion over there has already been a charcoal basin ready to stop, but the pavilion can sit in a limited space, and there are a few greenhouses next to it. ”

When Su Wan'er sent her grandmother Chen away the day before yesterday, she was told by her grandmother that she should not miss such a good opportunity, if she could bump into a noble person and form a fate, she must plan for her brother Su Yi. Although she was dissatisfied that her grandmother only remembered her eldest brother, her grandmother's last words made her have to press that unwillingness.

Is it easy to marry a sister who lifts people, or is it easy to marry a sister who is a jinshi?

Therefore, Chen Lan bluntly told her the true meaning of appreciating the plum, and reminded her again, where did she still not understand, all of a sudden she only felt as if her face was feverish, and thousands of thoughts rushed back and forth, and she couldn't wait to go back immediately. Chen Lan thought that he had done his duty to remind, and he didn't want to continue to say something that he didn't have, so he casually took a piece of plum blossom cake. Just when the girl finally brought tea to Su Wan'er, there was a burst of laughter like silver bells outside.

"Sister-in-law, hurry up, big sister must be in a hurry!"

Suddenly, a few girls gathered three people and came in through the bead curtain. The girl who walked in front was fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a gold silk inlaid ruby double luan dot cui step on her head, wearing an openwork gold collar around her neck, a bat-shaped palace silk and a butterfly in front of her skirt, wearing a red brocade robe, covered with an emerald green peacock gold thread, and a snow silk skirt below. The young woman at the back was in her early twenties, but she was dressed in stone blue, revealing a bookish and gentle culture.

"Who is it so late, it turns out to be the grandmother and the second girl of the Zhang family."

"That's the Lady and Second Miss of the Korean Mansion?"

Hearing this, Chen Lan looked at the person who came carefully, and the name corresponding to it jumped out of his memory. The girl's name is Zhang Huixin, and she is now the niece of the Korean Gong, although her father is not a high official, but her mother is the lord of Yixing. The wife of the prince Yin is from a scholarly family, and is selected by the Korean duchess, and it is said that no one praises the virtuous and knowledgeable courtesy. When it comes to the generations of in-laws, the two can be regarded as cousins and cousins-in-law.

Yin's is fine, but when she went to the Korean government when she was a child, she got along well with Zhang Huixin. In a place like the Gongfu where she has been treated by her father's and ancestors' official positions and concubines since she was a child, Zhang Huixin was an outlier, and she was very kind to her cousin whose father lost his title at that time. Only Zhang Huixin later followed his father to Jiangnan and never met again.

Yin and Zhang Huixin stepped forward to meet the princess of Jin, and then met with the rest of the daughters of the edict. Without waiting for Yin to open his mouth, Zhang Huixin apologized with a smile, saying that he saw his newly opened shop on the road, so he delayed. Seeing that some of the people were laughing and complaining, some were joking, and some were angry, she clapped her hands and asked the girl to come up, saying that the new products she had just picked up in the shop had actually given everyone an enamel vanity mirror. In front of Su Wan'er, she found that it was less, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes. And the rest of the people all looked at the delicate and rare enamel glass mirror, all of them seemed to be happy, how could they still pay attention to Su Wan'er.

"I obviously calculated that someone bought it, how could it be missing......" Zhang Huixin stomped her foot, then bit her lip, took out a dressing mirror from her arms and handed it to Su Wan'er, but there was a little reluctance in her eyes, "This is what I originally wanted to keep for myself, so I will give it to Miss Su." ”

Su Wan'er saw that everyone was looking at her, and saw that the vanity mirror was smooth and clean, and the enamel painting on the back was like a landscape with a few shades of suitable shades, and then remembered Chen Lan's words just now, and had the intention to make a name for herself through this matter, so she smiled and said: "Second Miss is really too polite, since it is a beloved thing, why don't you keep it for yourself?" This cloisonné mirror, I also have a ...... in my house."

Before she finished speaking, Chen Lan heard a burst of sneers around her, and Zhang Huixin's face became strange. remembered that the second lady of the Korean government has always been hearty and righteous, and she is the most glorious person, so she grabbed the conversation and smiled: "I think the old lady only said a word to the princess before, and Sister Huixin didn't know, so she missed Cousin Wan'er." It's better to give my share to Cousin Wan'er first. ”

Zhang Huixin turned annoyance into joy at this time, looked at Chen Lan for a while, and suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, are you Sister Lan?" Good sister, I haven't seen you for many years, you are still so righteous back then, but you have helped me a lot. In this way, when I go back, I will take you to that shop again, and I will definitely find another one for you. This is Western enamel, which is different from the cloisonné enamel that came from Persia first, I heard that it came from Guangdong, and what is the place of origin in France...... I don't understand, horizontal and vertical is the family's industry......"

Su Wan'er on the side saw Zhang Huixin leave herself, talking to Chen Lan with a smile, and was stunned, but Chen Xi's faint voice came from her ears: "This Western enamel is different from cloisonné enamel, one was introduced from Persia in the early years of our Great Chu, and the other was imported from Western France. There are many people here who know this, and Cousin Wan'er has to speak more carefully. ”
