In the back garden in the afternoon, although the sun is shining, it makes people feel a little hot, but all kinds of flowers are blooming all over the garden, and it is full of vitality.

The lord of Nankang specially set up the afternoon banquet here.

A few long tables, a few screens, and many flowers as decorations, some beautiful lanterns are tied up high on the trees, and some ice cubes are placed around them, although they seem to be very simple, but they are not elegant, enough to see the ingenuity of the owner's family.

The long table was full of delicacies and delicacies, looking at the delicious food and smelling the fragrant wine, Gu Ruosu and the others couldn't help but be hooked up by the gluttonous worms in their stomachs.

The lord of Nankang County beckoned everyone to sit down together, and as soon as they sat down, suddenly a pipa sound sounded, Gu Ruosu and others looked along the place where the sound started, and they saw a small pavilion surrounded by a curtain in front of them, and when the breeze blew, they saw two women holding pipa sitting in the pavilion, carefully adjusting the strings in their hands.

After a few turns, the two lute players played a song: "The sound is quiet, the syllables are comfortable, and a solitary height appears under the fingers; It seems that there is a cold fragrance in the heart, and it must be calmly contacted in order to get its purpose".

"Plum Blossom Three Alleys" is a famous song, the people here listen to it is not less, but very few, in a song, at the same time heard the song wants to express the plum blossom white fragrance, the noble character of Ling Shuang Aoxue, although it is Gu Ruosu who has no research on ancient songs, at this moment he also put down the chopsticks in his hand, intoxicated in this wonderful pipa sound, as if in winter, personally saw the scene of the winter plum blossom Ling Han blooming alone, until the end of the song, everyone came back to their senses......

"Where did the county lord Niangniang find these two wonderful hands, their attainments are so high, the first time they hear it, it is like a song in the sky." Gu Ruosu praised without hesitation.

Lord Nankang smiled, and then said:

"These are the two wonderful players I invited from the Miaoyin Workshop, and now, among Kyoto, their pipa is the most famous, old lady, if you like it."

"Thank you so much for the county lord's kindness, these two girls in my family, it's really a feast for the eyes to follow me to the county lord's mansion today, and in the future, I hope the county lord can let them walk around in front of you more."

"This is natural, I am already happy with the granddaughters of your family, old lady, and I really want these juniors to come to play more, I think, Lan'er thinks so too." The Lord of Nankang looked at Qi Lan and said.

When Qi Lan heard this, he immediately nodded and said:

"This is natural, if the two sisters are willing to come often, it is the best, my aunt likes flowers and loves the rhythm of music, I think, the two sisters must have a lot of topics to talk about with their aunts, especially Sister Yihua, I have long heard that Sister Yihua is especially good at music, I want to come, if there is a chance, it would be good if I could appreciate it in the future."

As soon as Qi Lan's words came out, no one cared whether the topic turned before and after was reasonable, and suddenly, the focus of the topic shifted to Qi Lan and Xie Yihua.

And Xie Yihua was also shocked by Qi Lan's sudden words, and he was a little at a loss, but looking at the eyes that everyone gathered over, he immediately adjusted his thoughts and said dignifiedly:

"Second Brother Qi praised it, I'm just interested in music and rhythm, if there is a chance, thanks to the elders and sisters and the second brother Qi do not dislike it, Yihua will definitely present a song for everyone at the right time."

After hearing his nephew's words, the lord of Nankang kept his eyes quietly on Xie Yihua's body, and the lord of Nankang looked at Xie Yihua's flower-like beauty and elegant and generous temperament and demeanor, and was immediately satisfied.

"You go, let people take out the pair of white jade pendants in the bottom of my box, and give them to Lan'er, so that if he really likes any girl, he will wait for the banquet to disperse, and give things to others, don't miss such a good marriage."

The sunset was like blood, slowly falling, dyeing the entire sky a colorful red, and the group drove leisurely as the sun set.

Gu Ruosu took the two sisters, Xie Yihua and Xie Yi, and left from the Nankang County Lord's Mansion in a magnificent carriage and returned to the Yanguo Mansion.

Gu Ruosu's carriage stopped steadily at the door of the Yanguo Mansion. At this time, there were rows of flowers at the entrance of the mansion, full of life, and Gu Ruosu's daughters-in-law Hai and Wei were also waiting at the door of the mansion with many servants for the first time, waiting for the return of Gu Ruosu and others.

After the carriage stopped, quietly, only the neighing of horses and the sound of horses' hooves could be heard echoing in the air, the coachman who drove the carriage got out of the carriage first, and the servants waiting at the door also hurriedly stepped forward, led the horses into the stable, and then immediately moved out of the stool, respectfully inviting Gu Ruosu and others to get out of the carriage.

Hai and Wei watched Gu Ruosu peeking his head out of the carriage, so they immediately stepped forward at this time, and helped Gu Ruosu up from left to right.

"Mother, be careful, your daughter-in-law will help you out of the car."

"Mother has really worked hard today, and my daughter-in-law has ordered someone to prepare pastries and tea in the main hall, so my mother might as well use some."

"You all have hearts, but today I am really a little tired, in a while, I will go back to my yard to rest, and you don't have to accompany me."

"By the way, why are there so many flowers at the entrance of this mansion, I haven't seen them when I went out this morning." Gu Ruosu looked at the thousands of delicate flowers in front of her, and couldn't help frowning in confusion and asked.

"Back to my mother's words, these are all sent by the county lord of Nankang this afternoon, the county lord said that the two families are fateful, and it should be better to have more contacts in the future, so we will send some flowers that bloom just right, so that we can also touch the fragrance of flowers."

"By the way, mother, the county lord's mother also specially explained that the pot of peony flowers was personally taken care of and raised by the second son of the Qi family, and the second son of Qi has always respected you, and I heard that you love peonies, mother, this is specially dedicated to your mother."

"Would it be good for your daughter-in-law to have someone send it to your house?" Hai said.

Gu Ruosu actually doesn't love peonies, and understands that this flower is just an excuse, peony has always been a flower for the wife of the main room, which is of great significance.

Gu Ruosu took a silent breath, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Xie Yi and Xie Yihua behind him.

"This pot of flowers is too delicate, I have always been lazy, although I love peonies, but I don't know how to maintain them, plus, this color is too pink, I'm old, I think it's not suitable for me, but this is the mind of the second son of Qi, just ......"

"It's up to Yihua to take good care of this pot of peonies for me, you must do your best."

As soon as Gu Ruosu's words came out, everyone present understood the deep meaning.

The Wei clan was overjoyed at the moment, and he couldn't care about his demeanor, while Hai's smiling face was frozen on his face at the moment, and the exquisite armor clenched the handkerchief in his hand.

Gu Ruosu had a full view of the performance of her two daughters-in-law, although she could understand their mood and situation at the moment, Gu Ruosu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, feeling that her two daughters-in-law couldn't relax their minds.

"Yes, my granddaughter will take good care of this pot of flowers and never let her grandmother down." Xie Yihua said generously.

……

……

(I'm a cute divider)

The pot of pink and delicate peonies was soon moved to Xie Yihua's boudoir in Hai's reluctance and Wei's joy.

"Go and get some good fertilizer, and then get some water, and get me two gardeners, and you will have to take good care of this pot of flowers, and if there is anything wrong with this pot of flowers, you must be careful of your skin." Wei said.

Xie Yihua watched his mother and a group of servants busy with a pot of flowers, and even regarded this pot of flowers as a treasure, and couldn't help but be a little funny, picked up a book casually, Xie Yihua casually flipped through it, and said:

"Mother, you don't have to be like this, although peonies are delicate, but the climate in Kyoto is suitable for the growth of peonies, as long as you take good care of them on weekdays, you can't think of anything."

"You kid, don't be sensible, this is a pot of flowers, does this just represent a pot of flowers? This represents ......" Wei suddenly swallowed the words that came to his mouth, looked at the maidservants around him, and said:

"You guys stand down first, I have something to say to the girl, and no one is allowed to come in without my orders."

"Yes."

The maidservants quickly exited the room in an orderly manner, and closed the door sensibly, and suddenly, in the huge room, only the mother and daughter of Wei and Xie Yihua remained.

"My good Hua'er, don't underestimate this pot of flowers, this seems to be just a pot of flowers, but this represents your marriage, your marriage with Qi Lan, the second son of Shouguang Prince's Mansion, although this second son of Qi will not be able to inherit the title of Shouguang Prince's Mansion in the future, but in the end, it is a relative of the emperor, a phoenix son and a dragon grandson~"

"In addition, this second son of Qi is not one of those gentlemen, rich in learning and five cars, full of wealth, as long as your grandfather and grandmother are willing to help, then the future of this second son of Qi is unlimited~"

"Although this Shouguang Prince's Mansion is not very peaceful, and there are many dirty things, but in the end, it is a high marriage, and the husband is also a person who knows how to measure...... Your grandfather and grandmother also defend you...... I won't let you be wronged in the future......" Speaking of this, Wei's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, as if he was worried about Xie Yihua's future days.

Xie Yihua keenly captured Wei's emotions, hurriedly put down the book in his hand, sat down beside Wei's, took out a handkerchief, gently wiped the tears from the corners of Wei's eyes, and then pretended to be relaxed and said:

"Why is my mother crying so well, is it possible, my daughter has to marry a high family, doesn't my mother feel happy for me? This is a good marriage that even Sister Yi didn't ask for. ”

"How come, you have to marry a good son-in-law, as a mother, I am sincerely happy for you, and your younger brothers and sisters, including your father, are also happy for you!" Wei Shi said immediately.

"As the eldest daughter, you marry well, your mother and your father's faces are bright, even your younger brothers and sisters, especially those born to concubines, if you can marry a good family in the future, there is no reason for you......"

"But...... But ......"

"You are the meat that fell from your mother's pregnancy in October...... What kind of face is it compared to these...... All I have to think about is ...... This is the dirty thing of the Shouguang Prince's Mansion...... I just can't bear to let you suffer this...... Even if it is brocade clothes and jade food, how can the silk and satin ......"

"It's better to find a good family with a solid family, a simple population, and no dirty things......

“…… Sometimes, I really feel ...... The days of this country are very boring...... There is so much truth in a marriage......"

"It's better not to have a ...... in this country's mansion"

"Mother is cautious!"

Xie Yihua listened to Wei's words, and was very moved in his heart, but seeing that Wei's words were becoming more and more boundless, he hurriedly stopped Wei's words, and got up to look around, making sure that there was no one around, and then sat back next to Wei's.

Looking at the somewhat cramped and uneasy Wei Shi, Xie Yihua softened his voice, took Wei Shi's hand and said:

"Mother, this is the Guogong Mansion, there is a large family living there, be careful of the trouble coming out of the mouth, even if there are only two of us in this house, you have to be careful......"

"I'm just whining......"

"Mother, you also said it, this is the Guogong Mansion, my grandfather is Yan Guogong, a figure who can call the wind and rain in the court, although my father is only a petty official, but after all, his surname is Xie, he is the descendant of the Xie family, one is prosperous, one is lost, don't say this......"

"Besides, although this Shouguang Wangye's Mansion is a bit chaotic, it is all on the bright side, and every family in Kyoto is more or less dirty, but it is just the difference between hiding under the bottom and on the surface......"

"Those things in the Shouguang Palace, the whole of Kyoto knows it clearly, my daughter has long known it, and my daughter is willing to face it."

"Besides, my grandmother also told me today that she will definitely not wronged me in this marriage, she will discuss with her grandfather, wait for Qi Lan's gold list to be named, and then let me officially marry him.

"As long as you don't live in the sub-mansion, those dirty things will be far away, and at most you will stay in that tiger and wolf den for a short time, and your daughter will be high and leaping."

When Wei heard this, the worry in his heart was alleviated a little, and then he said:

"That's good...... That's good...... Your grandmother really feels sorry for you...... With her speaking for you in this country's mansion, your mother's heart can be more reassured......"

"It's just...... didn't let you marry your beloved, there are still some ...... in your mother's heart"

"Mother...... You don't have to have regrets in your heart...... Married to the second son of the Qi family...... In fact...... The daughter is willing...... Even if...... He is not the son of the Shouguang Prince's Mansion, and his daughter is also willing......" Xie Yihua said with a shyness on his face.

"What?! Yihua, you actually ......"

"Hmm...... Mother...... It's exactly what you want......" Xie Yihua lowered his head and whispered.

"When did this happen, why didn't you know anything about it?!" Wei asked in shock.

Xie Yihua subconsciously stroked the white jade pendant on his waist at this moment, thinking that when he left the Nankang County Lord's Mansion, Qi Lan cautiously entrusted this jade pendant to her hand, and couldn't help but smile.

Then, Xie Yihua looked directly into Wei's eyes again, sorted out what he wanted to say in his mind a few times, and then slowly spoke, telling Wei's heart about his girl...... (End of chapter)
