Soon it was the day of the Liu family's peony banquet.

Baihualou was unusually busy early in the morning.

Although only four red cards can participate, it is also related to the face of the entire Baihualou. The girls' head-to-head costumes, eating and drinking, carriages and horses, musical instruments and props for performances, and piles and piles are all infallible.

Sai's mother was very busy.

Ji Xiaoduo also got up early and dressed up under the service of Qu Fan.

But compared to Sai's mother and the other girls, she is really much more leisurely. It's just that I memorized the poem I wanted to copy in my heart a few times.

Qu Fan hated iron a little, but seeing that his girl was confident, he didn't say much.

When they were ready to stop, they went out together.

The second dog drove Ji Xiaoduo in the car.

He was stupid and stupid, he had a way of dealing with animals, and all kinds of animals were happy to get close to him, and the carriage walked steadily. But Ji Xiaoduo still felt panicked.

There is no way, the wheels of the carriage in these years are a wooden ring, there are no shock absorption measures at all, and no matter how stable it is, it is not as stable as various modern means of transportation.

Ji Xiaoduo couldn't help but secretly hate that he hadn't learned a few more skills in his previous life, which would have the insight of later generations, but he only knew what it was, and he didn't know why, even if he wanted to improve, he couldn't start. I can only endure it all the way.

The place where the peony banquet is held is called "Retreat Garden", which is said to be the residence where the old lady Liu handed over the secular affairs of the clan to retreat to the world.

Ji Xiaoduo wanted to laugh a little when she heard it.

This is a peony banquet every year, and it has become a grand event in the city, but it doesn't look like a low-key retirement at all.

This garden is very large, it is said to be very beautiful, and Ji Xiaoduo has not been able to see it for the time being.

Although they also have invitations, they are just cheap prostitutes in the end. Even the main gate can not be walked, and the subordinates are led in from the side door, and they are arranged in a small courtyard, and they are not allowed to walk around, so as not to collide with the nobles. I can only wait for the time to go to perform in the order in which I am arranged. After the performance, if you are fancied, you have the opportunity to stay at the banquet to accompany the guests.

It's really a feudal society of all evils. Ji Xiaoduo thought.

But of course, I didn't dare to show it at this time, so I just sat there quietly and waited.

Yao Huang sat in the other corner and was silent.

Ge Jin was a little nervous, and kept calling his little girl to see if his clothes and jewelry were ready, and wanted to ask who the other Qinglou were and what they were going to perform.

Wei Zi instead expressed himself most relaxedly.

Ge Jin was reprimanded by Sai's mother for a few words, and then reluctantly sat down beside Wei Zi, and said, "Sister Wei Zi, you are fine, anyway, Liu Wugongzi will definitely hold you ......."

Wei Zi put down the teacup in her hand and interrupted her with a cold face, "Shut up, what kind of place is this, dare to talk nonsense!"

Although this room is full of people from Baihualou, but it is not next door, and there are people from the Liu family outside, in this kind of place, whose ears are not erect?

What kind of thing is she, Wei Zi, and she dares to think that the son of the Liu family must be what?

If you really want to spread it, can you have her good fruit to eat?

Ge Jin was also nervous for a while, and as soon as Wei Zi said it, he also realized it, apologized curtly, and stopped talking.

Time passed little by little, and the girls went on the stage one after another to perform, some came back and some stayed there.

Wei Zige, Yao Huang and Yao Huang all went to Baihualou, and they were all left behind, but it was never Ji Xiaoduo's turn.

Seeing that she was the only one left in the room, Sai's mother was also a little nervous and went out to ask someone.

Ji Xiaoduo doesn't care, she originally thought that she could come here to watch the flowers and watch the beauties perform, but since she can't see it, it is better to sit here quietly.

Not long after Sai's mother went out, she turned back, a smile appeared on her face again, and she pulled Ji Xiaoduo and said, "My son, I have already asked clearly, it's not that there was an omission, it's just that Lord Zhao hasn't arrived yet, and it's inconvenient for them to arrange for you to play right now." It's just that I value you. ”

It's the importance of Zhao Mingxuan. Ji Xiaoduo thought disdainfully.

These famous prostitutes who came today are just playthings that can be watched and commented on at will. But the jade version was raised by Zhao Mingxuan, they always had to give Zhao Mingxuan face, it was not good to judge the jade version behind his back, of course, it was best to wait for him to be present.

If Zhao Mingxuan didn't come, he probably wouldn't let Ji Xiaoduo play today.

Ji Xiaoduo didn't want to be in the limelight at this peony banquet, so she just nodded obediently and continued to sit there quietly.

Sai's mother was relieved to see that she didn't make any trouble, and she couldn't help but be a little worried about the other three people who were left at the banquet.

She also knew that since the Liu family had arranged it like this, even if the jade version could play, it would not be possible for anyone else to support her today.

A big official like Zhao Mingxuan naturally has advantages and disadvantages. You can't let them take advantage of the benefits of both ends.

Fortunately, there are three other peonies in Baihualou, and the business in the next half a year will depend on the performance of the three of them.

Ji Xiaoduo saw that her expression was uncertain, so she simply persuaded: "Mom, just go and get busy, you don't have to accompany me here." I'll be fine here, and when Lord Zhao comes, come back and call me. ”

Sai's mother thought about it, told her a few words, whispered a few words to Qu Fan, and went out.

Ji Xiaoduo sat there alone, listening to the sound of silk and bamboo music from afar, and only felt a little bored, knowing that it would be better to read this book.

When she was bored studying the patterns on the teacup and teapot, she suddenly heard someone shouting at the gate of the courtyard: "Jade girl, which is the jade girl of Baihualou?"

Qu Fan, who was waiting at the door or guarding, hurriedly responded, "Here, is it our girl's turn to play?"

A girl wearing the bean-green armor of the Liu family's subordinates ran over and hurriedly said, "No, is there a fourteen or fifteen-year-old coachman in your family, who is very good-looking, but is a fool?"

"Ergou?" Ji Xiaoduo hurriedly got up and came over, "What's wrong with him?"

"Ouch, it's really yours. That fool bumped into the nobleman and couldn't speak clearly, he only knew your name, so you hurry up and follow me. I'm afraid it's not going to end well if I'm late. ”

When Yahuan said this, Ji Xiaoduo and Qu Fan were startled.

Of course, Ergou stayed in the stable with the other coachmen, but he was stunned, and he didn't understand the rules of a big family...... It's not impossible.

Ji Xiaoduo didn't think much about it, and asked the girl eagerly, "Where is he?"

"Over there in the Cold Incense Pavilion. The girl was also really anxious, and there was sweat on her forehead, "You come with me." ”

Ji Xiaoduo was about to go out with her skirt, but Qu Fan dragged her back, "Girl, you promised your mother not to go out." In case you happen to be called......"

Yahuan, who was wearing a bean green clip, laughed angrily, "I still want to play, that fool's business is not handled well, you Baihualou don't even want to open it." ”

Qu Fan was stunned, Ji Xiaoduo also walked out, and Qu Fan hurriedly followed, "Mom told me to follow you to death." ”

The girl ring who wears a bean green clip doesn't care about her, and only leads the way.

The Liu family members who were guarding the door outside knew this girl, and she said that it was Eleven Niang's order, and they happily let Ji Xiaoduo and Qu Fan out.

Ji Xiaoduo's heart was also slightly settled, it seems that this Yahuan is indeed a member of the Liu family, and she is willing to let her bring Qu Fan, it shouldn't be to get her away alone, probably something happened to Ergou.

Thinking so, she became more and more anxious, and her feet were a little faster.
