Two days later, the spring flowers bloomed, and the Huofu banquet was held as scheduled.

The old lady thought about it again and again, and decided to bring Jiang Chan and Zhao Ying to attend together, she should have brought Su Lianxue again, but because of her previous reputation, it was not good to let her go out again and lose the face of the Hou Mansion.

There was a carriage parked at the gate of the mansion, and Jiang Chan waited for a long time to see Zhao Ying, who was late.

Zhao Ying is wearing a light yellow spring shirt today, the fabric is light and dancing with her movements, but it is gentle.

Jiang Chan squinted slightly, her eyes fell on her sideburns, but it was a little familiar.

This is clearly her peony hairpin, why does it appear where Zhao Ying is?

Jiang Chan thought about it again and again, remembering that when Zhao Ying came to the room to apologize a few days ago, she was a little sleepy, and the peony hairpin should have left at that time.

Zhao Ying passed past Jiang Chan with a smug face, as proud as a peacock.

Jiang Chan's face sank, took Zhao Ying's hand, and asked, "Why is my peony hairpin where are you?" ”

Zhao Ying shook her off and said mockingly: "As a widow in the Hou Mansion, you should be simple and inconspicuous when you go to the banquet, this peony hairpin is delicate and expensive, and it is not the jewelry you should use."

If you are interested, you will send your expensive jewelry to my courtyard, only if I dress up beautifully and marry a good family can I change the current embarrassing situation of the Hou Mansion in one fell swoop. ”

"Wishful thinking."

Jiang Chan sneered, bypassed Zhao Ying and got into the carriage.

Zhao Ying stomped her feet angrily and glared at Jiang Chan fiercely, wait, those expensive objects will be hers.

After coming to Huo's Mansion, the old lady took Jiang Chan and Zhao Ying to meet Mrs. Huo first.

The old lady smiled and spoke to Mrs. Huo, although she responded politely, her eyes fell on Zhao Ying's head, and the bright peony was particularly dazzling.

Mrs. Huo's expression flashed with hatred, and what she hated the most was the peony.

The old lady said lively, "I heard that Mrs. Huo likes to taste tea on weekdays, I will bring some hard-to-find Jiangnan Longjing today, please Mrs. have a taste." ”

The old lady intends to curry favor with the Huo Mansion, if she slaps in with Mrs. Huo and asks her to say a few good words by General Huo's side, it will be beneficial to the Hou Mansion and will not do any harm.

Her eyes flashed, the most important thing is that the Huo Mansion has a deep heritage, relying on General Huo's exploits to have a place in the court, if she can marry Ying'er in, she will definitely be able to pull the Hou Mansion and change the current embarrassment.

"Ying'er, quickly give the tea to Mrs. Huo."

Zhao Ying said shyly, "Yes, mother." ”

Zhao Ying took it from the maid's hand and strolled to Mrs. Huo's side, her well-behaved appearance was cute.

Mrs. Huo said lightly, "Thank you, old lady, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, please forgive me." ”

Zhao Ying's face froze, and he cast a look at the old lady for help, obviously he didn't expect Mrs. Huo to be so indifferent and ignore their overtures.

Jiang Chan secretly sneered, the old lady wanted to take the opportunity to please Mrs. Huo and didn't inquire, what she hated the most was the peony flower.

The current Mrs. Huo is the stepfamily, and Huo Qi's late biological mother is the main room of the current Huo Mansion.

Everyone in the world knows that there is only one person in the heart of General Huo, who is brave and good at fighting, that is, Huo Qi's biological mother, but unfortunately Hongyan died early, and he was forced to marry another stepwife to take charge of the general's mansion.

Huo Qi's biological mother loved peonies, and Mrs. Huo was disgusted with them, thinking that the women wearing peonies were all people who came to seduce General Huo and threaten her status.

Today, Zhao Ying wore a peony hairpin on her head, and she touched Mrs. Huo's bottom line, and no matter how much goodwill she had, she was gone.

In her previous life, Jiang Chan took the peony hairpin to the banquet without knowing the inside story, and was embarrassed by Mrs. Huo everywhere for committing a taboo.

Come to think of it, Zhao Ying will not have a few days to live.

Jiang Chan laughed secretly and followed the old lady out of the room.

Walking outside the courtyard, Zhao Ying was so angry that she stomped her feet, the old lady was distressed, looked at Jiang Chan and said, "You will go to see the old lady of Huo Mansion for me, remember not to lose your courtesy." ”

"Yes."

Jiang Chan turned to leave, and behind her came Zhao Ying's scolding and the old lady's patient relief.

Mrs. Huo has always been quiet, her yard is also more remote, you need to pass through the garden to reach, Jiang Chan passed by the lake, and a clear voice came from behind her.

"The second lady stays."

Huo Qi strode in front of Jiang Chan, today he looked gentle in a moon-white brocade robe, and a pair of peach blossom eyes were wrapped in warmth, like a breeze and a moon, which made people feel excited.

Jiang Chan said detachedly: "Huo Gongzi." ”

Huo Qi's eyes darkened, and he smiled busily, "The second lady doesn't have to be polite, you are a distinguished guest of Huo Mansion, and I should entertain you." ”

"Huo Gongzi is polite."

"The second lady is going to visit her grandfather? She had just gone to enjoy the flowers with her daughters, and she didn't want to be in the courtyard. ”

The two walked forward side by side, Jiang Chan exchanged a few words with Huo Qi, only to hear him mention, "After the second lady mentions, I will replace the guards around me with those who understand water, and I will not be afraid that no one will make a move if I meet them again in the future." ”

Jiang Chan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he listened to it, Huo Qi fell into the water at the banquet in his previous life, but no one understood that the nature of water caused him to suffer from wind and cold and hurt his body bones, and he fell into a problem.

"Huo Gongzi is kind-hearted, and he will definitely be blessed."

Huo Qi said with red ears, "The second lady is serious, I just want to do what I can." ”

Jiang Chan caught a glimpse of his red ears, pursed her lips and smiled, how could she not find that Huo Qi had such an honest side in her previous life, but it made her a little surprised.

Huo Qi heard her laugh, and the roots of her ears became more and more red, as if dyed with the sunset, making people unable to take their eyes off.

Not far away.

Xie Jinghuai squinted, he had a good view of their conversation, his face sank, and he walked to the front with his arms around the bewitching woman beside him.

Jiang Chan was telling Huo Qi that she had found a book that day, which was the way to teach people to swim, Huo Qi was suddenly interested, so he grabbed Jiang Chan and talked about the content.

Jiang Chan smiled helplessly, "If Gongzi Huo is interested, I will order someone to send it to you tomorrow." ”

Huo Qi was very happy, "Thank you, Second Lady." ”

Xie Jinghuai walked towards Jiang Chan, and looked at her with a gloomy face.

The bewitching woman beside her seemed to see the clue, so she leaned against Xie Jinghuai's chest and looked at Jiang Chan mockingly, "This is the woman who has had a night of spring supper with the prince?" That's just it! ”

Xie Jinghuai looked at it coldly, did not speak, and acquiesced in Chi Yao's presumptuousness.

Chi Yao demonstrated to Jiang Chan, holding Xie Jinghuai tightly with both hands, as if to tell her that Xie Jinghuai was hers alone.

"This can't be attached to the prince, so he turned around and entered Huo Gongzi's arms, but he will choose Gao Zhi, but I heard that you are the orphan widow of the Hou Mansion, how can you be so shameless and walk among men like a dusty woman?"

She sneered, her face disgusted: "When you are in the arms of those men, do you think of your dead husband?" ”

Jiang Chan glanced at her lightly: "If you want to know, go and ask Zhao Chengzhou, but you will die blindly." ”

Chi Yao trembled with anger and said coquettishly, "Lord Wang, you can see that she is obviously cursing me to death!" ”
