The Jin family lives in the vase alley in the south of the city, and it is only half an hour's journey away from the prime minister's mansion.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of the Golden Mansion, and Li Taiwei called Dafu and Huayan to help him get out of the car. Daifuku stepped forward and knocked on the door and handed over the prayer post.

The little servant of the Jin family hurriedly ran into the house to pray, and after a while, Mrs. Jin took the fourth girl Jin and greeted her in person.

"Why don't you see the four girls in the house?"

Mrs. Jin was a careful person, and when she saw Li Taiwei coming alone, she looked over the side of the carriage.

Mrs. Li stepped forward to greet Mrs. Jin, and greeted Jin Ling again, and said with a smile:

"My second aunt has been a little unhappy these days, and the fourth sister can't rest assured, so she is guarding the second aunt in the house. asked me to confess to the four girls, and said that I would invite the four girls to my house for tea another day. ”

Mrs. Jin hurriedly said:

"What did the county lord say? The fourth girl is a filial person, and the second lady is really blessed! ”

Mrs. Li listened to Mrs. Jin's praise of the Bai family, her eyes darkened, but she responded with a smile.

"The county lord is not going to stand here, please come in quickly! A few girls in the house have been waiting for you for a while. ”

Jin Ling said with a smile.

Jin Ling has a delicate face, and today she is wearing an indigo silver thread trimmed long skirt, with a pomegranate flower pattern embroidered with silver thread on her waist, and the whole person is as elegant and beautiful as a hibiscus out of the water.

Mrs. Li praised Jin Ling a few words, and Mrs. Jin laughed and took her hand to the house.

Jin Yushi is a very elegant literati, the two sides of the courtyard in the house are filled with more than one person high golden cinnamon, it is August, a little golden in the green, the tip of the nose lingers with the fragrance of osmanthus, and the autumn colors are bright.

Bypassing a corridor and passing through the Hanging Flower Gate, the field of vision suddenly widened.

There are several pieces of Taihu Lake stone stacked next to the huge clear pond on one side, there are dense jade bamboos planted on both sides, go up along the stone steps, a delicate hexagonal pavilion stands on the top, by the mountain with the water, it is lovely to be.

In the garden, several young girls leaned against the wooden railing on the bridge, feeding koi fish while laughing and talking. Seeing that Mrs. Jin's mother and daughter took Mrs. Li inside, they hurriedly adjusted their dresses and greeted them.

"See the ...... of the Lord of Chonghua County"

The girls stepped forward and saluted, Mrs. Li bowed slightly, and a blessing was considered a return of the gift.

Jin Ling stepped forward and introduced them one by one:

"This is my fifth sister Jin Xuan, this is my eldest cousin Zheng Lan, third cousin Zheng Yu, this is Wei Wan, the concubine of Lang Zhongling Wei's mansion. Those who came today are all from their own families, and the county lord doesn't have to be restrained. ”

Mrs. Li bowed slightly, and her gaze swept over everyone's faces.

Jin Xuansheng is not very similar to Mrs. Jin's mother and daughter, and her dress is not as gorgeous as Jin Ling, and her eyes are obviously a little restrained when she looks at her, and Mrs. Li guesses that she should be the daughter of the family.

Zheng Lan and Zheng Yu, the two sisters, Li Taiwei has some impressions, they are the daughters of Zheng Guoan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works. Zheng Guoan is a loyal minister, down-to-earth, and hard-working, but he is a little dead-hearted.

In his previous life, he almost tore his face with her for the matter of building the princess's mansion, and the construction period of the princess's mansion was delayed, and Li Taiwei, who was harmed, could only stay in the palace temporarily. Later, Zheng Guoan offended Lu Xiao for some reason, and asked Lu Xiao to clean up and obey, and quickly built the princess's mansion all the way.

Li Taiwei retracted her mind, and her eyes fell on Wei Wan, who was the most beautiful among the several people, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help but rise.

It's terrible to say that this Wei Wan is amazing!

Gee...... Mrs. Li gave her a thumbs up from the bottom of her heart.

This girl is a good example, in her previous life, she gave Lu Xiao's old widower to green alive!

This is equivalent to handing her a knife with her own hands and poking Lu Xiao's backbone!

Mrs. Li glanced at Wei Wan with great satisfaction, Xu is eyes were too bright, which made Wei Wan stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little at a loss.

"Since you are your own sisters, you talk together, and I'll go and see how dinner is going in the kitchen."

Madame Jin smiled mildly and said:

"I heard that the county lord of Chonghua loves sweets very much, and there happens to be a cook in my house who is good at making sweet soup, and the county lord will need to use more ...... in a while."

Mrs. Li thanked Mrs. Jin slightly, and together with Jin Ling, she crossed the nine-curved wooden bridge and climbed the stone steps to the pavilion.

In the gazebo, several exquisite pastries were prepared early, autumn pears cut into plum blossoms, and grapes with smooth grains.

Li Taiwei sat in the pavilion, leaning on the beauty, raising her eyes to see the sea of flowers in the Jade Lake, and the scenery in the house was in full view, and the previous depression was suddenly swept away.

"Does the county lord like flower tea or Biluochun?"

Jin Ling asked with a smile.

Mrs. Li turned her face slightly and said politely:

"I'm the same age as Miss Jin, and the fourth girl just calls me a little sister."

After speaking, he glanced at the white porcelain vase in the maid's hand full of golden osmanthus flowers, which was very gratifying, and said:

"Is this the golden cinnamon in the house?"

Jin Ling still didn't dare to exceed the rules, nodded and said:

"This golden cinnamon in my house was moved from my hometown in Lingnan by my father's order, and I am afraid that it is rare in the capital!"

"The osmanthus in our Lingnan is more fragrant than the one next to it, especially the golden osmanthus is the most high-quality...... It is made into flower tea, and it also adds a sweetness, why don't you taste it? ”

"The ancestor of the four girls is in Lingnan County?"

Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows slightly, and suddenly remembered that Lu Xiao had told her that day, and Li Wenxiu was also from Lingnan.

Jin Ling smiled and nodded, made a cup of osmanthus tea for Mrs. Li with her own hands, handed it to her, and said:

"Exactly...... Speaking of which, we have a custom in Lingnan that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the osmanthus is picked and dried, and made into a sachet to wear on the body, which is the most important thing to drive away evil spirits and avoid filth! ”

Mrs. Li held the tea bowl slightly, and a trace of refreshing fragrance wafted out leisurely from the rising water vapor.

Mrs. Li couldn't help but praise and said:

"I often make osmanthus sachets in my house, but it coincides."

Jin Ling shook her head and said:

"Our Lingnan osmanthus sachets are very particular!"

"The used sachet should not be discarded at will, but should be placed on the table to worship the Bodhisattva, and after a full seven days, the sachet should be hung on the high branch of the house, and the sachet must not be stained with mud, so that everything can be done."

Li Taiwei quipped:

"How can you say that? What if it's muddy? ”

Jin Ling's eyes widened and said seriously:

"That's bad luck! Lingnan people are very particular about these, even the beggars on the side of the road dare not be so careless! ”

Mrs. Li smiled slightly, but nodded in agreement.

Footsteps sounded outside, and after a while, the curtain of the gazebo was opened, and the other girls finished feeding the fish and sat down one after another.

"The county lord should try Sister Ling'er's osmanthus tea, this kind of good tea is rare in Beijing......

Wei Wan leaned into Li Taiwei's side, looked at the osmanthus tea beside her, and laughed.

This girl has soft facial features, and her smile is very kind, quite a bit of the gentle atmosphere of a Jiangnan woman.

Before the words fell, Zheng Lan laughed:

"Sister Wan loves to make fun of people the most, what kind of good tea has the county lord of Chonghua never drunk?"

Zheng Yu also said:

"I see that Sister Xu is Wan'er is greedy for herself, and she wants to ask Sister Ling for a cup of tea, right?"

Everyone laughed and joked with each other.

The Zheng sisters and Wei Wan are very intimate in their words, and even Jin Ling is also commensurate with her sisters.

Wei Wan's father is a subordinate of Jin Yushi, and today's banquet was originally organized by the Jin Mansion for Li Taiwei, and the people who came were all their own relatives, and Wei Wan, an outsider, was invited to join in......

Li Taiwei thought in her heart, this Wei Wan is not simple!

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the Zheng sisters say:

"Have you heard about Miss Chang Liu and the eldest prince recently?"

"Ah——!h

Jin Ling was making tea for Wei Wan's hand, and the tea soup splashed on the table and splashed on the wrist, immediately burning a small piece red.
