It's summer, and the flowers in this garden are blooming brilliantly. The flowers of a tree, the pink branches of each tree, and the flowers of all colors compete with each other, so it is not lively.

Although in the night, the flowers are a little dim under the light, but the moonlight gives the flowers a thin veil, which is even more mysterious and tactful. The burst of fragrance makes people feel more comfortable.

"Miss, you just came out like that, isn't it a little ...... It's so unkind, it's embarrassing for the eldest lady just now. Qiu Jian cautiously reminded on the side.

"yes, maybe they have to say something about you behind their backs, Miss. Chun Tao also responded on the side, holding a lantern in his hand, carefully illuminating the road on the ground. The paths in this garden are paved with white gravel, and at night it is easy to trip if you are not careful.

"Let's talk about it. Hua Qianyue didn't care about it, Qian Qianyu pinched a delicate flower that was blooming, and sighed softly: "Even if I don't do that, will the gossip behind me and all kinds of malicious slander ever stop? ”

"It's just that Qiu Jian still doesn't understand one more thing. Qiu Jian remembered what happened today, and asked, "Miss, how can you help Miss Eight heal." They obviously owe you a lot of debt, Miss, and I don't know when or when they can pay it off. ”

"Qiu Qian, you're pretty good at settling accounts for me. ”

"Miss, you're laughing. I just think that Miss, you don't quite like your style, so I don't understand. Qiu Jian hurriedly explained, for fear of making Hua Jiangyue unhappy.

"What's this, besides, Hua Chuyan and I are not a family. Hua Jiangyue chuckled: "When I gave her those medicines, I didn't say that it could be cured at one time. She has to take her time with this strange disease, and she will listen to me obediently in the future. ”

"I see. Qiu Jian nodded as if she didn't understand.

After walking behind Hua Jiangyue for some time, and also walking around the small garden, Hua Qianyue felt a little tired, and said loudly: "Okay, it's almost time to go, let's go back." ”

"Yes, miss. Qiu Jian and Chun Tao nodded and walked together.

In the dining room, Hua Jiangyue had just left.

The fourth lady couldn't hold back, and said to Hua Xuan, "Master, the concubine has something I want to discuss with you." ”

"Something. Hua Xuan's attitude was not lukewarm.

"It's about our family's calyx marriage, you see that Chuyan's marriage has been decided. As long as you wait for Chu Yan's illness to be completely cured, you can marry into the Zhou family. Besides, according to Hua Jiangyue's medical skills, it only takes a few days to be cured. The fourth lady said slowly: "You see that Chu Yan is married, Cao Wan is Chu Yan's sister, this marriage has not yet been settled, and my heart is always up and down." ”

"Tell me about you, it's okay to worry about this. "Hua Xuansu was angry about Hua Chuyan's marriage some time ago, but now the fourth lady has come to die to mention Hua Caowan's marriage. How could Hua Xuansu endure her temper, and said angrily to the fourth lady: "Wait until Chu Yan gets married, otherwise the young master of whose family will dare to marry your daughter." ”

Seeing that Hua Xuan's reaction was so intense, the fourth lady was so frightened that she closed her mouth and didn't dare to say anything more.

The meal was unhappily parted, the eldest lady was embarrassed, and the fourth lady did not have a good face. After dinner, they were silent and went back to their rooms.

On the way back this time, the fourth lady saw that Hua Caowan was sullen. Thinking about it, Hua Xuan's attitude is too bad. She didn't notice Calyx's affection at all, and she couldn't keep up her spirits at the moment.

"Wan'er, don't think too much. Your father is also so angry because of Chu Yan's uncompetitive thing. The fourth lady comforted her with a good voice, compared to Hua Chuyan, it was Hua Caowan who made her value and like it more.

"Mother, but it's so scary for my father to be like that just now. How can my affairs be compared to Hatsuyan. Hua Caowan couldn't swallow the breath in her stomach, and said angrily.

"Yes, yes, Wan'er, I know that your temperament and appearance are superior, and you are much better than Chu Yan. My mother has always valued you, how can you have such a flower-like appearance, how can you have a good husband. Don't be in a hurry, just wait for Chu Yan to marry and go to this Zhou Mansion, and my mother will find a good family for you. The fourth lady took Calyx's hand and comforted her, her face full of love.

Hearing her mother's kind words and persuasion, Hua Caowan felt a little better. He nodded lightly and said, "Mother, I know, it's getting late, so you should go back to your room and rest." ”

"Well, you're resting for a while. The fourth lady patted Hua Caowan's hand meaningfully, and then they parted ways at the fork in the road.

The long corridor, lined with lanterns glowing red, is hazy and moving in the night. It's like red makeup at night, so quiet and tactful.

Hua Caowan stepped on small steps, walking gracefully, but her brows were always tightly wrinkled. The maid on the side saw it, blinked her eyes very smartly, and asked in a low voice, "Miss, why are you so worried?

"Hey, you say I'm so unlucky. Everything has to be implicated by Hua Chuyan's stupidity, which is really unlucky. Calyx sighed faintly: "I don't know how many times I've been dragged down by her, you said that if she can't marry into the Zhou family, will I not marry for the rest of my life, it's really unreasonable." ”

"Miss, don't be so pessimistic. Think about it, where is Miss Eight comparable to you. Madame also said, you are outstanding in everything, and you are better than Miss Eight in everything. If you want to get married, the dignitaries and nobles in this city are rushing to get it. The sweet words spoken by Linglong's small mouth made Calyx Wan feel good.

"Alright, let's go back and rest. Calywood nodded and said, "You girl still knows how to make me laugh." ”

The young lady complimented her. Linglong bowed her head very obediently.

The master and servant left slowly.

The next day, in the morning, there was an uninvited guest in Huafu.

Hua Xuan had just had breakfast and was teasing the birds in the backyard. Jiang Yong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, there is a visitor. ”

"Who?" Hua Xuan was stunned for a moment, her brows subconsciously furrowed, and she said in a deep voice: "It won't be the Zhou family again, right?"

Jiang Yong saw that Hua Xuan's expression was not very good, and he was stunned for a while before he lowered his head and said, "Master Hui, it is Prime Minister Zhou, as well as Mrs. Zhou and Gongzi Zhou......"

I didn't expect it to be really their family, but they were really afraid of something.

Hua Xuan felt a headache, reached out to support his forehead, and even the cry of the green-haired parrot he loved so much at hand, he felt irritable.

Jiang Yong, who was standing aside and waiting for a response, saw that his master had not responded for a long time, and couldn't help but remind softly: "Master, look at this...... Did you refuse?"

"How do you refuse?" Hua Xuan said in a deep voice, Prime Minister Zhou and his family are really kraft candy, and they can't get rid of it.

"Why don't you just say that you are sick and don't see any guests behind closed doors?" Jiang Yong said tentatively.

"Forget it, you go to the front to entertain me, and I'll go to the Xiongzhen Hall later. Hua Xuan sighed, this heart was ten thousand reluctance. But what should come is still coming, that's all.

"Oh yes, you ordered someone to invite the fourth lady and the eighth lady to come with you. It is estimated that Prime Minister Zhou's family has to come for this marriage. Hua Xuan told Jiang Yong again behind her back, and Jiang Yong retreated.

In the majestic hall, the maids are busy preparing tea and pastries.

Prime Minister Zhou's family was sitting scattered, Mrs. Zhou saw that she was dressed up specially today, wearing a dark green brocade dress, a chiffon knurled bronzing gown on the outside, wearing an emerald green jade bracelet on her hand, and a noble jade gold hairpin on her head, with a dignified atmosphere, just like the style of the prime minister's wife.

She glanced at Zhou Yangming beside her, and whispered: "Ming'er, you will make trouble later, in short, we must withdraw today's marriage no matter what." ”

"It's natural, mother, that I never dreamed of quitting this marriage. With the support of Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Yangming naturally has a lot of confidence.

And Prime Minister Zhou on the side didn't say anything when he heard their words, he still had a faint look, which was equivalent to acquiescence.

When the news reached the West Chamber, Hua Chuyan was getting up not long ago.

I heard that it was the people from the Zhou Mansion who came again, thinking about what happened last time, I was still a little empty in my heart. hurriedly got up and summoned the warm fragrance again, but before she could speak.

The warm fragrance and cold attack that had just entered the house flashed with a frightened look in his eyes, pointing to the flowers on the bed, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

"You two stinky girls, what are you pointing at me, is it possible that there are flowers on my face?!" Hua Chuyan's face was very bad, and he said viciously.

After about three seconds, Nuan Xiang and Han Xi calmed down, and said anxiously: "Miss, Miss, your face!!"

"My face?!" As soon as she heard her face, Hua Chuyan immediately panicked. Could it be that those nasty black hairs have grown again, impossible, she specially cut it before going to bed last night.

"Look, Miss, look. Nuan Xiang quickly took a small piece of the mirror, handed it to Hua Chuyan with trembling hands, and then immediately took two steps back, for fear that Hua Chuyan would not be able to accept it and hurt herself by mistake.

When she saw herself in the mirror, Hua Chuyan's eyes immediately widened, full of frightened looks.

"Ahhhhh
