Flower Hall.

Yan and Su Juning were surrounded by a group of female dependents, and seeing that they couldn't socialize, they used the excuse of going to change clothes and temporarily escaped from the encirclement.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the garden and walked to a secluded place, only to breathe a sigh of relief.

They all laughed when they looked at each other.

"It's amazing, I thought I could speak with this mouth, but I didn't expect the nobles in Bianjing City to be even more powerful!" Yan patted his chest.

Su Junning covered her lips, "I'm afraid there will be only a lot more banquets like this in the future, and my mother can't be lazy." ”

The more prominent the Shen family is, the busier the two female dependents become.

What poetry meetings, flower viewing banquets, birthday banquets, and treasure appreciation banquets are all common things.

Although you don't need to go to every house, most of them still have to go, otherwise you will be criticized for being above the top.

Yan glanced at her with a smile, walked slowly towards a flowerbed that was blooming not far away, and whispered gossip.

"It's good that you're here, I don't have to come out alone, otherwise how can I deal with it."

"My mother is sensitive, but I'm not used to it, just come a few more times."

Su Junning grabbed Yan's arm.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, and on the path ahead, a child ran out of the rockery, holding a small net to catch butterflies, and came here with a smile.

"Xin'er, Xin'er, you slow down, the cobblestone road is slippery, beware of falling!"

"Childe, slow down!"

Followed by the voice of anxious women shouting, I saw that behind the rockery, a woman with a beautiful face in a long aqua blue dress carried the hem of her skirt and hurriedly followed behind with a mustache.

However, the little boy was chasing a white butterfly, and was playing with his head at this time, where he could hear the shouting, and only kept running with his little short legs.

Su Junning saw that the child's eyes were only on the butterfly, and he didn't pay attention to his feet, so he hurriedly stepped forward to protect it.

Sure enough, the child stumbled under his feet, and the person threw himself to the ground, but fortunately, Su Junning was prepared, squatted down at the right time, and caught the person.

Throwing himself into the soft arms, the child was startled, there was no pain, but he didn't cry, he only raised his head, lifted a pair of black grape-like eyes, and looked at Su Junning with curiosity.

At this time, Su Junning recognized that this was a little boy.

It's no wonder that she wasn't sure before, firstly, the child is small, and secondly, the child wears sky blue clothes, which is suitable for boys and girls.

"Xin'er, you kid, really!"

The panicked and anxious woman behind rushed over, gasped for breath and glared at the child first, and then immediately saluted Su Juning.

"Thank you for this lady, the child is naughty and unreasonable, and he has collided with Mrs., please forgive me."

Although they didn't know each other, they saw that Su Junning was dressed as a woman, so they called Mrs.

You can't go wrong.

"It's okay, children are always playful." Su Juning smiled, straightened the boy, and stood up himself, "The child should be fine, but it's better to check it." ”

The woman nodded, took the boy again, and bowed her head in command.

"Don't thank you quickly, how did your mother teach you on weekdays?"

The little boy tilted his head, glanced at Su Juning, and then spoke sweetly, and said like an adult.

"Thank you, sister!"

"Poof—"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan, who was standing behind Su Juning, smiled.

She smiled like this, but it eased the atmosphere, and everyone laughed along.

Su Juning's eyebrows were crooked, and he leaned over and touched the child's head.

"Little boy, I'm about the same age as your mother, how can I be a sister."

Probably a little shy to be laughed at by everyone, the little boy blushed and hid behind his mother's back, showing only a pair of eyes.

The woman was helpless, and saluted Su Junning and Yan again.

"Today is the young son bumping into the two distinguished guests, why don't we move to the flower hall, I personally apologize to the two of you for pouring tea."

She used the word distinguished guest to describe it, Su Junning and Yan glanced at each other and guessed that this should be the host's house.

However, several daughters-in-law of the county duchess Xiao have seen it in the flower hall, so this one.

Taking a closer look, there was a bit of similarity between his eyebrows and eyes, Su Juning thought about it, and asked with a smile.

"Madame, but the eldest lady of the county mansion?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and smiled embarrassedly.

"I don't know who the two are? I'm ashamed to say that after I got married, I went to Anzhou with my husband to stay for a few years, and at the beginning of this year, my husband was transferred back to Bianjing to take up a post, and then I came back, but I was not very familiar with the city. ”

Su Junning also smiled back, and introduced Yan and herself simply and neatly.

After this eldest lady of the He family, He Yuhan, learned about it, she became more and more polite.

For nothing else, she had already heard her mother Xiao say that the Shen and Su families in Beijing were now prominent, and they intended to make friends.

Her husband Li Meng held the position of Langzhong in the Ministry of Officials, and he rose up and became a servant of the Ministry of Officials, which was very different.

But the Li family is not prominent, and it can't help much, although his mother's family is the county government's mansion, and there is a grandmother who is the eldest princess, but in the end, he has not been involved in the affairs of the court for many years, and it is not helpful.

If she can make friends with the Shen family and the Su family, it will naturally be beneficial to her husband's career.

And my mother also said early in the morning that she would be interested in letting her come to entertain her today, and take this opportunity to get close.

I didn't expect this to happen by mistake, and I saw it directly in private first.

seized the opportunity, naturally it was impossible to miss it, He Yuhan immediately asked the personal maid to take the child away, and personally pulled Su Junning and Yan to sit in the side hall.

Why is it a partial hall, what is said on the face is that Yan and Su Junning don't like people and are too annoying, but in fact, you can think of it if you guess, this is to avoid others from disturbing.

But it's understandable to be a little cautious, Su Junning doesn't mind.

And when I came into contact with He Yuhan, I could see that this person was not one of those who had bad intentions, and the conversation was pleasant.

After all, although the Shen family and the Su family do not say that they want to form a party and expand their wings, it is also beneficial for them to make friends with some honest officials who can be used.

Although there is a saying that the tree is big and the wind is blowing, there is also the truth that the tree has deep roots, intertwined roots, and is difficult to shake.

This sitting is half an hour.

Just as He Yuhan saw that it was almost time and was about to lead them to the flower hall for a banquet, there was a knock on the door from outside.

"Eldest sister? Are you in there? ”

"Madam, it's the third lady." The maid beside He Yuhan said in a low voice.

He Yuhan nodded, waved his hand and asked the maid to open the door.

After a while, a playful girl in a peach-pink dress came in from outside.

It is the third lady of the Changping County Mansion, He Yushu.

When he came in, he looked at the people in the house, and then he saluted in a proper manner.

Then he said with a smile.

"Eldest sister, my mother asked me to tell you that there is already a banquet in the courtyard, let me invite the eldest sister, Mrs. Shen and the young lady over."

"Got it, you go first, we'll come later." He Yuhan nodded gently.

He Yushu owed, so he retreated obediently.

Yan finished drinking the tea in his hand, glanced at Su Juning, and then got up and walked out of the side hall with He Yuhan and went to the stage.
