Thank you for the red envelopes of the Pure Hotel in Shanyekou Township, and the remnant rainbow of the river basin, there is a change today!evening!)

One day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, He Changqi, the son of Jing'an, invited his friends to his home for a small gathering, because Chu Lian had promised He Laotaijun and his eldest brother early in the morning, so it was almost noon when he took the maids to make a few special dishes and prepared to send them to the front yard.

But Chu Lian is He Changdi's daughter-in-law after all, so it is a bit unruly to take the maid to the front yard to deliver the food, she thought about it, or decided to go to Qinghui Hall first, and let the people from the old lady send the food over.

When I arrived at the door of the Qinghui Hall, I heard the voices talking inside. Mu Xiang, the big girl beside the old lady, happened to come out and saw Chu Lian who had just arrived at the door, she greeted with a smile, "The third grandmother is here, come in, the eldest grandmother and the two little ladies are inside!"

After speaking, he opened a cool bamboo curtain for Chu Lian, took the big food box held by Ming Yan behind him, and followed Chu Lian into the flower hall of Qinghui Hall.

Mrs. He sat on the throne, and she didn't know what she was talking about with the Zou family, she was happy, obviously in a very good mood. Chu Lian glanced at Zou, and saw that Zou was wearing a royal blue new-style dress, covered with smoky blue tulle, and the jewelry on his head was the sapphire head that the Queen Mother had given on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although she is full of grace and luxury, it is a pity that this set of old faces has made her whole person several years old, and a woman of twenty-five or sixteen is born in her thirties.

Zou was talking with a smile, and he didn't know what he said before, which amused Mrs. He.

"Say hello to my grandmother and sister-in-law. ”

Chu Lian respectfully gave the two of them a junior salute.

"San Lang's daughter-in-law is here, come and sit, your eldest brother sent someone to urge you in the front yard!"

Zou looked over and found that Chu Lian was still dressed in a plain homely dress, with only a green hairpin on his jet-black hair to fix his hair, and he was not wearing any other jewelry, so Zou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It seems that Chu Lian is dressed like this, and he will definitely not go to the front yard.

Chu Lian smiled slightly, "There is a dish that has to be stewed for a while, and it has been delayed for a while, and the granddaughter-in-law is late, so please don't blame your grandmother and sister-in-law." ”

Mrs. He pulled Chu Lian to her side, if she wasn't worried that Da Lang's daughter-in-law was still there, Mrs. He would have wanted to pinch Chu Lian's little nose, "You little person, how can grandmother blame you, Mama Liu, you sent the food box to the front yard." ”

As soon as Mrs. He's words came out, Zou hurriedly said: "Grandmother, since you are a friend of Da Lang, then you don't need to trouble Mama Liu, or send it over in person!"

The old lady casually glanced at the Zou family's dress, paused, and nodded, "Then you can take someone to send it over, but be careful on the road, don't let Da Lang lose face in front of his friends." ”

Seeing that the old lady agreed, Zou breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly promised: "Grandmother, don't worry, granddaughter-in-law is not a person who doesn't know the importance of things." ”

Zou saluted Mrs. He, and hurried to the front yard with her personal mother-in-law and maid carrying the food box.

Waiting for the figure of the Zou family to disappear at the door of the flower hall of Qinghui Hall, Chu Liancai smiled and said: "Grandmother, I made an old duck pot just now, it is stewed crispy, it is the most suitable for your age to drink, and now my granddaughter-in-law will bring the vegetables to you for a meal, can grandmother take it in?"

"Poof" Mrs. He laughed, "Look at this Aijiao's appearance, if you want to eat at your grandmother's place, just say it." ”

Mrs. He hurriedly instructed Mu Xiang beside her to let the little maids serve the food.

Chu Lian had lunch with the old lady in Qinghui Hall, waited for the old lady to take a nap, and then returned to his Songtao Garden.

Today's sun is shining, a little stuffy, there is a small garden next to Songtao Garden, the autumn chrysanthemum in the garden is in full bloom, the autumn chrysanthemum is a rockery with exquisite shape, the rockery is next to the water, the murmuring water flows into the small lotus pond next to it, it is a pity that the lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the lotus pond have long withered at this time, but in the pavilion by the lotus pond, you can watch the autumn chrysanthemum across the pond water, the autumn chrysanthemum is adjacent to the rockery, it is also a good scene.

Leaning against the pavilion is a piano pavilion, because it is close to Songtao Garden, Chu Lian often comes to cool off in the afternoon.

When he returned to Songtao Garden, Chu Lian happened to pass by the Qin Pavilion, glanced at it, and casually instructed Ming Yan beside him, "It's a little hot today, I'll ask someone to move a reclining chair over, and I'll rest there in the Qin Pavilion." ”

At the main table in the front yard of Jing'anbo's mansion, there were five or six young men, all of whom were friends invited by He Changqi, the prince of Jing'anbo.

Among them, there are the new young official Ge of Honglu Temple, Wei Yuanhou, who inherited his father's title, Zou Wu in the second room of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, Zou Wu, the maiden brother of the Zou family, and Zheng Tiansheng, the younger son of Zheng Guogong's Mansion, and who else can the tall man in a green robe next to Zheng Tiansheng be, undoubtedly Xiao Bojian in the Guozi Prison.

Xiao Bojian and He Changqi actually don't have any friendship, and he can come to Jing'anbo Mansion only because of Zheng Shizi.

And everyone here also knows that Zheng Shizi has a close friend, who is a senior brother who is one level older than him in the Guozi Prison.

In addition, Xiao Bojian has a good appearance that is most in line with the aesthetics of today's people, a gentleman's temperament is natural, and his gestures are quite exemplary, so few people can not have a good impression.

Therefore, Xiao Bojian's socialization has always been like a fish in water, and most of the people who associate with him will ignore his humble family background because of his appearance and temperament.

Master Ge drank the sencha in the cup and snickered with a smile, "Brother He, aren't you framing us, it's almost noon in the blink of an eye, and you still don't order your subordinates to serve the food, but you can't starve our brothers to death?"

He Changqi had a trace of embarrassment on his face when he heard this, a few days ago, he boasted in front of his friends that he wanted to invite them to eat food that he had never eaten before, and used the longevity peach on the birthday banquet of the Marquis of Dingyuan as bait, saying that it would make a group of brothers greedy, but he had not served the food at this time, and even he himself was a little embarrassed.

"Big brothers, don't worry, since it's food, of course it's worth waiting for me. Xiao Bo smiled softly, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Because He Changqi mentioned it in advance, the friends he invited today all knew that the main dishes were personally cooked by the third grandmother of Jing'an Bo Mansion, that is, the emperor's newly sealed Jinyi Xiangjun.

It is also an honor to be able to eat the food made by the townspeople himself.

Finally, Chang Sui, who was beside He Changqi, ran over and whispered two words in his ear, He Changqi was overjoyed when he heard this, "Brothers, we can be regarded as keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon." ”

Sure enough, after a while, I saw Zou dressed in wealth and leading a person carrying a huge food box to the hall where a table was set up in the front yard.

Several of He Changqi's friends also got up to salute the Zou family, except for the Zou family's maiden brother, the rest of the people all called out "Mrs. Sister-in-law", among these people, He Changqi was the largest, so there was nothing wrong with them calling it so.

Zou rarely had the opportunity to contact He Changqi's friends, and finally her husband brought all her friends back for a small gathering, of course she had to show her face and leave a good impression on her husband's friends. It's just that she was dressed too grandly today, and the party between friends should have been relaxed and comfortable, so she inadvertently stiffened the atmosphere a little. When Xiao Bojian bowed his head slightly, his eyes first showed disdain.
