Chapter 65: Acquaintances

Wu Chanjuan took a deep breath and wanted to stop her tears, but the grievances in her heart seemed to be endless, and she wanted to vent them along the traces of tears.

Zheng Suxin hurriedly covered her face with a handkerchief, hugged her into her arms, and looked up to see that everyone had gone out to send off the Queen Mother, so she said: "Go to your mother's house and wash it, you look like this, you can't do it without some powder." If you cry again, your eyes will be red from crying, how can you go out to meet people? ”

said and apologized to Wu Chanjuan, "It's my mother's fault, my mother didn't think properly." When are you going to stand out? Why do you have to pick today? Since you have done a favor, you should do enough. It was my mother who thought about it for a while, and it caused my son to be wronged. ”

Wu Chanjuan also knew that it was wrong, endured her sadness, and choked up: "Mother, don't say that, how can you let you apologize to me?" You're right, it's all my fault. I know. I thought I could bear it, but it seems that it is still a little worse. I just don't feel well. Just wait for me to take a break. As he spoke, he lowered his head and followed Zheng Suxin's eldest maid Yugui to her room.

Zheng Suxin took another big girl, Bai Zhi, to send the Queen Mother.

Yugui and Bai Zhi are both Zheng Suxin's henchmen, and they are also very sympathetic to their little masters, so they both kept silent, one took Wu Chanjuan to freshen up, and the other followed Zheng Suxin out.

When she came to the gate to send off the Queen Mother, Zheng Suxin had already returned to normal, and greeted everyone to sit in the inner courtyard with a smile on her face.

Here, Wu Chanjuan has already washed her face, put on a little powder, and covered all the red and swollen places around her eyes, and she couldn't see any traces of crying.

Her eyelids were a little puffy, but Cinnamon had already put two pieces of cucumber skins on her.

Wu Chanjuan thought about it, and then took off the sachet stuffed with dried flowers on her body. Throwing it on the dressing table, he sneered, "I can't bring this thing anymore." Who's got a dog's nose in our house? "This is turning a corner and scolding Sheng Siyan for being a dog. Not human......

Just now, it was probably this sachet with dried flowers that made Sheng Siyan sneeze so much and took away the attention of the Queen Mother......

Yu Gui knew that Wu Chanjuan had grievances. Didn't say anything about her, let her lose her temper.

After Wu Chanjuan finished sneering, she really felt much more comfortable.

When she combed her hair again and took off the gherkin skin on her eyelids, a pair of pupils were already bright and clear.

Yu Gui clapped her hands and smiled: "The second girl is better looking than the first!" As he spoke, he threw away the gherkin skin, which had already withered a little.

Using cucumber skin to compress the eyes can reduce swelling, which is the habit that Zheng Suxin brought to the Wu Guogong Mansion, but she said that her sister Zheng Xiangrong taught her, and since she was a child, she has seen her sister tinkering with these things on her face at home. She's used to it, too.

Zheng Suxin's sister Zheng Xiangrong is very beautiful, in addition to her outstanding literary talent, her beauty is also remembered by many people, and she was once called "the first beauty of Daxia" by the good deeds of the capital. ”

It's a pity that such a beautiful person, like a cicada on a tree, only hustle and bustle for one summer, and then disappear.

Wu Chanjuan looked in the mirror with a smile and said, "If there is anything I want, Aunt Rong is half as good-looking." I'm satisfied, too. ”

"What did the second girl say? You are much better looking than your aunt, if nothing else, just say that you have double pupils, does your aunt have it? Cinnamon said. While inserting a little emerald jasper silk hairpin into her bun.

The twelve-year-old girl was tall and slim, looking like a budding flower bone. It's about to come to its own flowering season.

Wu Chanjuan pursed her lips and smiled, her mood had completely recovered.

Zheng Suxin asked Bai Zhi to come over and report to them. Let Wu Chanjuan go directly to the small peach dock in the back garden, and say that there are already wine and food there. Let Wu Chanjuan entertain those little guests.

Of course, they were all children under the age of fifteen, and the wine there was not the liquor that adults drank, but the sweet fruit wine.

Wu Chanjuan hurriedly took her two maids, the red parrot and the thrush, to Xiaotaowu.

Xiaotaowu is built near the water, with five bays, two ear rooms in the east and west.

The room in the middle is actually a gazebo with a smooth front and back. Large windows occupy the entire wall, and light gauze drapes are tucked into the mulllied pillars on both sides, fluttering in the wind.

There is a copper bell hanging on the rope belt tied to the window lattice, and as soon as the rope belt moves, the copper bell jingles, the sound is not loud, so it is not harsh, and with the spring water outside the window, there is no fun.

When Wu Chanjuan came in, there was a bit of chaos in the room.

The girls and children inside are in a group of east and west, and they have separated from each other, and they are sitting together on their knees, laughing and playing.

Wu Chanjuan swept her eyes and saw that Xia Zhi, the little prince of the palace, was sitting and talking with the girls and boys of the Zhou family and the Zheng family. His cousin and cousin also sat with them. The four major princes help each other, and it is not just a matter of saying that one is prosperous and one is lost.

The four families have also been married to each other many times for thousands of years, and they are all relatives who are beating around the corner.

In addition, she can see those circles.

The girls and boys of the Shangshu and Shangshu families were sitting together, and the waiter and the girls and boys of the waiter's family were at the same table again.

In short, they came according to the grade of their respective families.

Then the concubine and the concubine are a circle, and the concubine and the concubine are another circle.

Respect and inferiority, the descendants are distinct, just look at this small peach dock room at a glance.

Wu Chanjuan walked to the table where the little prince Xia Zhi, the Zhou family, the Zheng family and the Wu family were sitting, and nodded with a smile to her cousin Wu Chanying, who helped her entertain guests, and smiled: "Thank you eldest sister for your help." ”

Wu Chanying was also very beautiful, her mother Yin was born in the Jiangzuo family, and her daughter was raised with extraordinary bearing.

"The second sister came just in time. I'm talking to Sister Zhou, and I can't care about the other guests in the house. Wu Chanying smiled and got up to salute her.

Wu Chanjuan saw the timid girl next to Wu Chanying, who was obviously two years older than herself, but she didn't dare to see anyone. A pair of eyes like frightened deer, not daring to look at people, only a slight glance at the person's face, then quickly looked away, lowered his head and lowered his belt.

Wu Chanjuan was surprised, the smile on her face did not change, she walked over and took the girl's hand and smiled: "You are the third girl of the Zhou family, right?" ”

The old man of Shenjiang Mansion Zhou had three sons and no daughters. The eldest son Zhou Chengzong and the third son Zhou Sizong are both descendants. Only the second son, Zhou Jizong, is a concubine.

Zhou Chengzong is the current god general, General Zhou, who took the Zhou family army to fight the barbarians last year. Zhou Huaixuan, the eldest son of the long house, accompanied him. Let's go to the Northwest Frontier.

Zhou Chengzong had a concubine, the Yue family, and gave birth to two children. They are all daughters, and they have not come out since. The eldest daughter is his eldest daughter, Zhou Yanying, who got married last year. The second daughter is Zhou Yanli in front of her, who is fourteen years old this year and has no in-laws.

Zhou Jizong of the second room of the Zhou family has a daughter-in-law, Zhou Yanting, who is already twenty years old, older than Zhou Yanying, the eldest daughter of the long house, Zhou Yanting is the eldest girl of the Zhou family, and Zhou Yanying is the second girl. Zhou Yanli is the third girl.

There are a total of three girls in the three rooms of the Zhou family, two of whom have been married, and only the youngest concubine, Zhou Yanli, is left, who never comes out to meet people.

Wu Chanjuan didn't see her hiding behind Wu Chanying just now, and thought that there was no girl from the Zhou family.

This is probably the only table where a maid and a concubine are together. Wu Chanjuan thought silently, but thinking that the status of the Zhou family was not ordinary, even if it was her grandfather, she had to concede three points to the Zhou family, so she didn't treat Zhou Yanli as an ordinary concubine.

Zhou Yanli saw that Wu Chanjuan didn't mean to see anything outside. With a slight expression, after a few words of gossip with her, he stared at her curiously and said with a smile: "I say that I have heavy pupils and heavy pupils." I've only seen it today. Sure enough, it's better to be famous than to meet, and people who haven't seen it really don't know how to describe it. ”

Wu Chanjuan let her look at it generously, trying to keep her eyes motionless. smiled: "Look at it, tell me after you finish it." My eyes froze. ”

Zhou Yanli covered her sleeves and chuckled, and said, "Second Miss Wu, you are so funny. ”

Xia Zhi, the little prince of the palace, also came over to join in the fun. said: "Stand still with your eyes, don't move!" Let me take a look! As he spoke, he walked over and tilted his head to take a closer look with Zhou Yanli.

Seeing that Xia Zhi was coming, Wu Chanjuan was a little flustered, her cheeks were slightly red, fine beads of sweat oozed from the tip of her nose, and her hands and feet seemed to be uncomfortable.

Fortunately, in the past few years, Zheng Suxin has worked hard to hone her temperament, and Wu Chanjuan's qi cultivation kung fu has been a small achievement. - That is to say, without Sheng Siyan's mixture......

Sheng Siyan understood that Wu Chanjuan looked at her unpleasantly, although she didn't know where this unpleasant came from, but she also knew that this was on someone else's land, so she wanted to avoid its edge, so she sat in a small corner and fought with a few girls and boys from the five-rank official family while eating tea and fighting cards.

Among the four major families, in fact, the Sheng family did not sit with them.

And the little prince Xia Zhi, the Zhou family, the Zheng family, and the Wu family, who were sitting together, seemed to have forgotten this, and no one thought of asking Sheng Siyan to come and sit with them. Even if today's dust washing feast was specially organized for Sheng Qiye's lordship, the master in everyone's minds is still the Wu family, especially Wu Chanjuan.

It's a pity that in front of Wu Chanjuan, Sheng Siyan can't hide even if she wants to.

"Siyan! Is that you? Long time no see! A loud voice came from the door, and it seemed that someone else was coming.

Sheng Siyan's body stiffened, she looked up at the door, and saw a chubby girl rushing towards her like an arrow, as far as her body was concerned, she was really fast.

Sheng Siyan knew that she was fat, but compared to this girl, she looked "slender" again.

"Xiao Ye, it's you......" Sheng Siyan stroked her skirt and slowly stood up.

The person who came was Niu Xiaoye, the friend she knew when she wanted to learn from Rong Nuxue, Sheng Siyan privately called her "Gossip Queen".

It can be said that as long as you tell the "secret" to Niu Xiaoye, she will definitely guarantee to spread this "secret".

Niu Xiaoye "floated" over like a moving hill, hugged Sheng Siyan, and shouted: "Siyan! Siyan! I knew it was you! Then he wondered, "Why are you so fat?" ”

Sheng Siyan smiled bitterly. She was a little fat, and Wang didn't let her "lose weight", saying that a girl of her age should be fatter. When you get older, you will naturally lose weight. If you lose weight at this age, you will grow into a "thin bamboo pole".

Sheng Siyan naturally understood what "thin bamboo pole" meant, so he listened to Wang's words and obediently did not lose weight. - She also wants a gourd-shaped body with a convex and backward curl, so for that day, let's try to be "fatter" now!

But when Niu Xiaoye said it, Sheng Siyan suddenly felt that his barrel-shaped body was invisible.

In particular, she also saw a man standing in the doorway.

The man really made her eyes widen.

How could it be him?! -- It's actually the second brother of the next-door neighbor Wang who hasn't been seen for five years!

Wu Chanjuan also looked at the door. Niu Xiaoye, she knows, the daughter of a merchant's family, she has always liked to babble, she doesn't care at all.

Her eyes were fixed on the two tall men standing in the doorway.

One is Zhou Huaili, the fourth son of the Zhou family, and her cousin. It can be said that before Zhou Huaixuan came back, Zhou Huaili was the most beautiful man in the capital of Great Xia, and his demeanor can be seen.

She didn't know another man, but that gentle and jade-like demeanor was not inferior to standing next to a beautiful man like Zhou Huaili!

Sheng Siyan opened her mouth, but saw that Second Brother Wang only glanced at her casually, so he moved his gaze to Wu Chanjuan, who was walking towards the door.
