"Miss?"

Agarwood followed behind Cheng Yuguan and said with some hesitation.

It was a coincidence that they came, just in time for the second lady's girl grinding her teeth.

Agarwood was a little late and looked at the eldest lady.

Cheng Yuguan didn't seem to hear it, and walked straight across the threshold of the instrument gate and walked towards the courtyard.

The Houfu garden is exquisite, one step at a time. Across the instrument door, there is a corridor of hanging flowers, at this time Cheng Yulou and other five or six people, are not far from the corridor in the small pavilion gathering feast, outside the pavilion is tall shady flower trees and some potted flowers landscaping.

The garden was quiet, and as soon as Cheng Yuguan and his party walked up to the corridor, a few people from Cheng Yulou looked back.

"Yulou, this is your famous "eldest sister"? ”

A heroic woman with a somewhat arrogant expression asked Cheng Yulou beside her in a voice that everyone could hear.

Cheng Yuguan was next to this noble girl, and it could be seen that the relationship between the two was intimate.

"Yes, this is my eldest sister, who just came from Chengjia Village, the ancestral land of Cangzhou Prefecture."

Cheng Yulou said and got up, "Sister, are you here?" Here are all the guests I invited to our house to enjoy the flowers, and the eldest sister came over, just to get to know one or two. ”

Cheng Yuguan took the agarwood and his party into the pavilion under the eyes of everyone.

Cheng Yulou happened to get up from behind the table and came to Cheng Yuguan's side.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my eldest sister Cheng Yuguan, who has just entered Beijing from Chengjia Village. These days, she is only repairing in Qingxin Hall, and you are blessed today, you can actually meet the eldest sister to take the initiative to go out. ”

Cheng Yulou introduced Cheng Yuguan to everyone innocently and brightly, and grabbed Cheng Yuguan's arm with a familiar hand, "Eldest sister, this is the son of Xie Ge's hometown, Xie Tianyun." is known as a talented person in the capital, and he is not the kind of pedantic person who looks down on women. The eldest sister is resolute and resolute, and the women are not allowed to shave their eyebrows, I am afraid that she can be like-minded with Gongzi Xie. ”

A handsome boy in a light cyan round-necked brocade robe with bamboo leaf patterns, his eyebrows and eyes are bright, warm as jade, he smiles lightly, bows slightly, and Cheng Yuguan bends his knees to respond.

"This is the lord of Fushan, Hu Lexuan, Sister Xuan is straightforward and chivalrous, and is my best close friend."

The Lord of Hu sat on top and nodded slightly at Cheng Yuguan, and Cheng Yuguan also nodded.

"There is also Miss Shen Hongsu, she is the daughter of Lord Shen, the priest of the country, needless to say, it is rare to be informal, and Miss Tang Zhi'er, she is the cousin of the lord of Fushan, although she is the youngest, she is not squeamish at all. Miss Du Xilan, who was born in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, is the most gentle among us, and has never blushed with anyone, so she must be able to get along with the eldest sister. ”

Cheng Yulou introduced them one by one clearly, and added more piggybacks in his words, Cheng Yuguan just didn't understand, and he and everyone saluted each other one by one.

"Eldest sister, a few of us have formed a poetry club, and we are chanting poems just now, with the theme of twilight spring, is the eldest sister interested in joining us?"

Facing everyone's observing and scrutinizing eyes, Cheng Yuguan shook his head, "My talent is limited, and my mood is not as leisurely as yours, forget it, I'm just here to go around and relax, and you." ”

After speaking, Cheng Yuguan bowed slightly and prepared to leave.

"Didn't Miss Cheng come here when she heard the sound, why is she leaving again, let's talk together, isn't it good to know each other? And we've already had a round just now, and we're about to rest. Miss Cheng won't even refuse to give this little face and leave in a hurry, right? ”

It was Lord Hu, who was sitting upright in the middle, who spoke.

When Cheng Yuguan heard this, he immediately stopped.

Since she knew that Cheng Yulou was inviting people for a banquet in the garden and was going to come over, she would not dare to face these people.

At that moment, Cheng Yuguan gave his hand, "This is my house in the end, since the county lord has spoken, then Yuguan, as the owner, is naturally obliged to accompany him." ”

As he spoke, Cheng Yuguan saluted the few people on the other side of the table, then sat down straight, and turned sideways to greet Cheng Yulou, who was still standing, "Second sister, sit down." ”

It's quite an anti-customer-oriented feeling.

Cheng Yulou was a little stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, and sat down beside Cheng Yuguan.

There was silence.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Cheng Yuguan, and Lord Hu was the first to speak, "Isn't Miss Cheng going to entertain guests as a host?" Why not to make a sound? ”

Cheng Yuguan looked inexplicable, his fingers were together, and he swept the table in front of him, "Isn't the second sister very thoughtfully prepared, snacks, fruit and wine, everything you need, you eat and drink well." ”

"Poof", Tang Zhi'er, the youngest in the corner on the side, laughed.

I saw that her face was immature, her face was delicate and heart-shaped, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, her lips were ruddy, and although she was young, she showed a little color.

"You used to be in Chengjia Village, were you so sincere in hospitality? It's fun to eat and drink well. ”

Tang Zhier's handkerchief half-covered the corners of her mouth, and she smiled very innocently.

"Zhi'er!" Lord Hu opened his mouth to reprimand, "How do you speak? ”

After speaking, Lord Hu looked at Cheng Yuguan, "Miss Cheng, don't mind, Zhi'er is innocent and has no other meaning." ”

Cheng Yuguan shook his head, "What do you mind?" Miss Tang is right, what we come out of Chengjia Village is sincerity, and it can't compare to the seven exquisite hearts of the people in Beijing. ”

Cheng Yuguan's words stiffened the atmosphere that had just eased a little.

"Miss Cheng speaks so directly, but she is somewhat similar to the Lord of Fushan. I can't say it, you can really talk about it in the future. ”

The gentle and daughter-in-law Du Xilan and Miss Du opened her mouth to play a round.

Lord Hu's face stiffened for a moment, and then he returned to normal.

"In the future, I will be in the capital, I will not look up and look down, and after a long time, I will know who is the true temperament."

Lord Hu spoke, and then looked at Cheng Yuguan, "Just now we were talking about Miss Cheng, and it was rumored outside, Miss Cheng is domineering, I don't know if Miss Cheng knows?" ”

Cheng Yuguan nodded, "I also came over just now to listen to your discussion, and I found out." ”

The people behind the discussion were told by the main owner so much, and everyone looked embarrassed, looking at Cheng Yuguan's gaze, it was a little strange.

She spoke like this, and now it seems that the Cheng clan patriarch's family is really kind people. If she had grown up in the capital since she was a child, someone would have taught her to be a person a long time ago.

Everyone complained in their hearts, Cheng Yuguan naturally didn't know, and she continued to speak.

"I can't control other people's mouths, they don't affect me, and I don't have the heart to care. If someone else has to take it to heart, then it will make the person who talks behind his back happy. As a person, the last thing I like to do is to harm myself and others. ”

Lord Hu simply sneered at this time, "Miss Cheng is open-minded. ”

Cheng Yuguan nodded, "If you can't do martial arts, that's all you can do." ”

When the two looked at each other, there seemed to be a spark bursting out.

Cheng Yulou hurriedly got up and poured a cup of tea for Cheng Yuguan, "Eldest sister, take a sip of tea to moisten your throat first." County Lord, you also take a sip, we have been chanting poetry for a long time just now, and your throat must be dry. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup in front of Lord Hu and poured her a cup.

Xie Tianyun, who was beside the county lord, took the tea cup handed by Cheng Yulou and put it in front of Hu Lexuan.

Hu Lexuan's face softened slightly.

"Miss Cheng has a straightforward temperament, which is really cute. We are a few years old, and our family backgrounds are similar, so we will have more contacts in the future. After a long time, you will know that Lord Hu and a few of us are all straight, what do you say, not the villain who hides traitors behind his back. ”

Xie Tianyun picked up the teacup, saluted Cheng Yu for a while, and then drank it all, quite refreshing.

Seeing Xie Tianyun say this, everyone also nodded.

Although Cheng Yuguan's speech is really unpleasant, and he does not have the cultivation and etiquette that everyone should have, but after a few words, it is quite refreshing.

are all in the capital, and they often come and go in the future, and after a long time, I can't say how.

Besides, Yulou is her own sister, as the eldest sister, if she gets acquainted with them, she can also look at them for their sake, and she should be less embarrassed by Yulou.

Everyone looked kind, but Cheng Yuguan shook his head.

"Men and women don't kiss, we shouldn't have many chances. And I'm a lonely person, I'm alone, only suitable for being friends with broad-minded people, it turns out that in Chengjia Village, it's all cousins and sisters who tolerate me. Now, you still don't force yourself to tolerate me, after all, I am not a blood relative, I don't have this obligation, it's better to be friends. Yulou has no choice, you are my second sister, just work harder. The eldest sister is annoyed with you first, I have done something wrong in the future, and I have said something excessive, please understand, I am not the right person. I'll toast you first, and I'll bear with you later. ”

Cheng Yuguan spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly stiffened again.

Everyone in the hall had no intention of continuing to play the round.

Just like Cheng Yuguan said, they are all daughters, who wants to keep going around the field and play a round for others.

What's more, he is still a "vulgar" person from the countryside who faintly doesn't deal with his friends.

No foundation, no literary brilliance, no eyes.

The silence spread, Cheng Yulou was a little embarrassed, picked up the teacup, and clinked glasses with the eldest sister.

"Eldest sister, don't say that, Lord Xie has a very good relationship with my father, and several children in our two families have grown up together since childhood, and they are no different from cousins and cousins..."

Cheng Yulou was a little embarrassed and wanted to explain.

"Eldest Miss, you are the eldest sister, how can you let the second lady tolerate you when you open your mouth?"

The maid behind Cheng Yulou is a clever one, it was a rumor that she said just now, as soon as she opened her mouth, Cheng Yuguan recognized this voice.

At this time, the maid picked her eyes, a little arrogant and a little proud.

"Our second young lady, but since she was born, she has been held in the palm of her hand by Cheng Hou's mansion up and down, and they are two sons, and they can't compare. Not to mention our house, it was the palace banquet in previous years, and the princesses and princesses loved it very much when they saw our second young lady. I'm afraid it's not clear that you just returned home, our second miss, it's five soon..."

"Qinghe!"

Cheng Yulou suddenly interrupted.

Cheng Yuguan looked at Cheng Yulou and the others, his expression was inexplicable, his eyes slid over the people who had their own thoughts, and Cheng Yuguan's eyes fell on Cheng Yulou.

"Second sister, let this maid continue. I'm a person who also likes to be straightforward, just like her, and it's best to have something to say. Qinghe, right? And then you say, five what? ”

Qinghe knew that he was in trouble, and under the gaze of the second lady, he lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more.

Cheng Yulou turned to look at Cheng Yuguan, "Eldest sister, it's nothing, my girls are used to being wild, and they are used to talking against the eldest sister, and I will punish them heavily when I go back." ”

Cheng Yuguan waved his hand, "Second sister doesn't have to be so careful. I grew up in Chengjia Village for more than ten years and didn't know anything about the house, so this girl can be straightforward and fast-talking, so that I can know more about my family and not offend people like I am blind. Since you don't want her to say, then forget it, now that your friends are here, I won't spoil your fun, and I won't ask about the "five", just tell me when you or your father and them remember. ”

With that, Cheng Yuguan got up and bowed down to say goodbye to everyone.

"Enjoy it slowly, I'm going to go around again, so I won't bother you."

Cheng Yuguan simply left with a few people who were relieved.

Looking at her back, Xie Tianyun and the others felt a little lonely for some reason.

Seeing that everyone's minds were taken away by Cheng Yuguan, Cheng Yulou laughed and explained, "The affairs of the five princes are all rumors, Qinghe, this girl listens to the wind and rain, but this kind of chasing wind and shadows, how can you tell the eldest sister more, I am afraid it will cause misunderstanding." Alright, alright, let's stop talking about that annoying thing, let's move on to chanting. It's Zhi'er's turn, isn't it? ”

Cheng Yulou tried his best to liven up the atmosphere, but in the end, everyone was distracted a lot compared to just now.

Tang Zhi'er's eyes were dripping, and her mind was still on poetry.

Cheng Yulou was a little embarrassed, and Xie Tianyun took the initiative to ask.

"Okay, then wait for the shadowless thing, let's not be affected, what kind of person is Yulou, we have been friends for many years, isn't it clear? She has always been considerate of others, for fear that others will misunderstand. Let's go back to poetry, the good sentence just now is the one from Yulou..."

Xie Tianyun talked eloquently, but let everyone retract their minds and watch his next couplet intently.

Tang Zhi'er pulled her cousin, Hu Lexuan slapped Tang Zhi'er's hand away, looked at Xie Tianyun, and ignored her.

The two sisters are obviously cautious.

But it's normal.

The people present were all young ladies and gentlemen, and after the age of ten, they gradually opened up, and the appearance of "single cells" such as Cheng Yuguan was very different.

They represent their respective backgrounds and upbringing, and they must always pay attention to decency, and they all have an account in their hearts, who is a few pounds and a few taels, who is worthy of friendship, and who is unworthy of companionship, all of which have been weighed repeatedly.

Cheng Yuguan's appearance just now was straightforward, and everyone only regarded her as a country person, not a person.

But like them, the young lady who grew up in the capital taught by the elders since childhood has no real straightforwardness.

is the lord of Fushan, such a famous "straight son", and he will not think of anything like Cheng Yuguan.

…

"The eldest lady doesn't know if it's intentional or not, how well the two lines of poetry were written by the young lady, and when they are passed out, it is another good story, which adds to your fame. The eldest lady is good, she came here to stir up the situation, now it's okay, who still remembers the young lady's verses? After they go back, they are afraid that they will all pass on the countryman-like temperament of the eldest lady. ”

Cheng Yulou also sat in front of the dressing mirror a little dejectedly, hearing the words, he said in a tangled way.

"Qinghe, don't say that, the eldest sister is also unintentional."

"Where is the unintentional? It's clearly sincere! ”

Qing He said angrily.

"Who's sincere?"

Outside the house, Yang's voice rang out.
