Chapter 279: Visiting the Garden

But Sister Fang laughed in a low voice: Sister Hui, I would know even if she didn't tell her. It must be someone from the Shao family who wants to take someone from the Lin family back.

What nonsense are you talking about? Sister Hui went to seize Sister Fang for my fifth aunt.

Sister Fang clapped her hands after hearing this: "Isn't it time to ask?" Then she forced Sister Zhen, "You say it, it's your turn."

Sister Hui pulled Sister Fang's arm: Sister Zhen, don't tell her. Let her guess.

Sister Fang rolled her eyes: If you don't tell me, don't tell me. I'll ask the Fourth Madam and said, turned around and left.

Sister Zhen was slightly unnatural.

Sister Hui could see clearly, and thinking that Sister Zhen was a concubine, she pulled Sister Fang away and laughed and said: She always likes to play tricks like this. If she does this again, she won't play with you anymore and she will wink at her.

Sister Fang understood immediately. She smiled and joked to herself: I just like to bluff people. How dare I really complain. For a moment, I had nothing to say, so I asked Sister Hui's aunt Lin Mingyuan, your fifth aunt this time

She should be able to get married, right?

Sister Hui didn't want to say it at first, but if she didn't say this, she would definitely ask Sister Zhen.

I don’t know. She thought for a while and said, anyway, she is not satisfied with this, and she doesn’t like that. However, this time my grandmother said that this matter cannot be left to the fifth aunt. Regardless of whether she is willing or not, she must do it this year anyway.

The marriage is settled.

Sister Fang felt bored and leaned on the imperial concubine's couch in the warm pavilion, leaning on her elbows and resting her chin, and sighed: It's not fun anymore when you're married.

For a moment, the three of them looked a little dazed.

The chirping of birds could be heard outside.

Sister Zhen came back to her senses and said with a smile: Let's go sit by the lake so as not to leave Sister Xian there alone.

The two nodded.

The joy before coming was gone from his brows, and he went to the lake with a faint smile.

Sister Xian sat there and looked at the floating water, and saw them hurriedly waving over: I have caught seven or eight fish.

The three of them went over and saw that the fish were jumping happily in the bamboo basket.

The fish here are used to being raised. Sister Fang sat in front of her fishing rod: as long as the bait is placed, she will bite the spoon. Catching seven or eight fish is nothing, you can see what I have done, and she looks eager to try.

Sister Hui just sat there and looked at Twelve Niangs and Miss Li who were boating on the lake without saying a word. The mother who served the Xu family reminded her in a low voice that the fish were caught, but she said leisurely: It was just to kill time.

, don’t worry whether you can catch it or not.

Seeing her scholarly attitude, the mother was afraid that she would lose her place, so she kept silent about fishing and only helped to dress the bait.

Sister Zhen, who was sitting next to her, felt that she looked worried, so she whispered: Do you want to go to the warm pavilion to have a rest?

Sister Hui looked at Sister Fang who was happily pulling the pole next to her, and gently shook her head: so as not to offend her again later. She sighed softly, I originally wanted to talk to you.

After hearing this, Sister Zhen moved the imperial chair, asked the attendants around her to take a few steps back, and said softly: "It's the same if we lower our voices."

Sister Hui bit her lip: My mother wants to marry me to Cangzhou

Sister Zhen was shocked: How could this happen?

Sister Hui was very frustrated: My mother said that I had a naughty temper and used the reputation of Weibei Houfu to marry to Cangzhou, and my grandfather and uncle helped to take care of me. Their family must be respectful to me and dare not be careless.

Has it been decided yet? Sister Zhen’s eyes darkened slightly.

Nine times out of ten, Sister Hui is dejected. Yesterday, I saw my father writing my eight characters with red and gold letters. My mother also urged my grandmother to get my fifth aunt to marry as soon as possible. She sighed, I don’t want to marry in Cangzhou.

I don’t know anyone. It’s cold there. There are no cakes from Mapozi, and there is no Duobao Pavilion Jinshizhai. My voice is very sad.

Sister Zhen was silent.

Sister Fang suddenly jumped out: What are you two talking about, so happy?

Seeing her heartless look, Sister Hui glanced at her and said: When will you get married?

Sister Fang laughed loudly after hearing this: There really is no three hundred taels of silver here.

Sister Hui knew that these words could not suppress her, so she simply changed the subject: Come to my house on the ninth day of March. I will hold a spring banquet at home.

Sister Fang doesn't mind if there is anything interesting in your family. Your uncles are afraid that your grandfather will only give the family wealth to your father, so they stay at home. It is so crowded that there is no room to stand.

Sister Hui glared at Sister Fang: Are you going?

Sister Zhen somewhat knew what Sister Hui was thinking.

If you really marry and move to Cangzhou, you can live a day in Yanjing.

He hurriedly said: Of course everyone wants to go

Sister Fang was just joking. Seeing her stern face now, she felt that something was wrong with Sister Hui's mood. She smiled and said: Of course I want to go, of course I want to go. Otherwise, wouldn't you stop playing with me?

, jokingly said, "I can go, but I have to ask Yu Chun from Chunxi Tower. Otherwise, I still won't go."

Sister Hui was a little sad, but she couldn't help laughing when she heard this: she was just thinking about eating.

Sister Fang was not upset, and turned to ask Sister Xian: Sister Hui is hosting a spring banquet on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, will you go?

Sister Hui, please leave me a message when the time comes. Sister Xian will be very generous.

What post is next?

Several people turned their heads.

I don't know when, Miss Li and Twelve Niangs have already landed on the shore.

Sister Fang curled her lips and turned around to go fishing.

It’s hard for Sister Zhen to answer.

But Sister Hui thought about the saying that meeting each other was fate, and said with a smile: I will hold a spring banquet on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. The girl from the Li family and the twelfth aunt should also come to the house to join in the fun.

Miss Li nodded her head in greeting, and Twelve Niang smiled, but did not answer clearly.

Here, Aunt Wen saw that it was getting late, so she invited several ladies to have dinner in the flower hall.

With smiles on their faces, everyone was escorted up the corridor by their respective maids, exited the back garden, and went to the flower hall.

It is dusk now, and the red lanterns on the eaves have been lit, shining on the bluestone floor tiles, glowing red and full of joy.

Eleven Niang was standing on the steps at the door of the flower hall talking to her mother who was in charge. She had a ginkgo flower hairpin on her head. It was different from the ordinary style of just putting a ginkgo flower on the head of the hairpin, but with tiny little ones.

The ginkgo flowers gradually hang down, overlap one another, and cluster together to form a ginkgo flower the size of a wine cup. It trembles with its hands and feet, like the wind blowing over the flowers. It is very beautiful.

Mrs. Xu is very good at dressing up. Sister Xian sighed as she looked at her.

Sister Fang's suppressed curiosity resurfaced.

She pulled Sister Zhen aside: I promise not to tell anyone what happened to the fourth aunt of the Xu family when you went to pay your respects.

The title changed from Mrs. Xu Si to the Xu family’s fourth aunt.

Sister Zhen could not be pestered by her, so she whispered: One time when I went to say hello, my mother was cleaning out the trunk. She took out some old clothes and gave them to others. Among them was a small black double-breasted coat of coarse cloth, which slipped down twenty-six

The buttons of the colorful bat bat look like colorful flowers from a distance, and I don’t know how beautiful they are.

Oops, use colorful bats to make buttons. Sister Fang has already whispered, but I really want to come up with it.

As they were talking here, a group of little girls over there calmed down and listened.

No. Sister Zhen laughed, wondering how much effort it would take. I thought it would be a pity to give it to the maid, so I asked my mother for it. But my mother said that the bat was not tied when she was practicing tying, and she used it to make buttons.

.If I like it, make me another one.

Twelve Niang lowered her head.

She knows that little coat.

The black coarse cloth was used to wrap the silk and satin when the spring clothes were delivered to the shop. Finally, Eleven Niang asked for it and made a small coat to wear close to her body. Binju also complained, saying that the little coat was so beautiful that it made her wear the clothes.

The child is dyed

Sister Fang was very interested: Really, you will show me that little coat later. I will make one too.

Sister Zhen pursed her lips and smiled.

Sister Fang ate a few hastily, then took Sister Zhen to her room, then mysteriously returned to the flower hall.

I got up early the next day and urged Mrs. Zhou to go to Xu's house to listen to the play. Mrs. Zhou was confused: the play would not start until lunch.

Sister Fang rolled her eyes: Didn't you say that it's really boring to have all of your daughters as guests at home? Let's go earlier to avoid meeting those people. We can also praise Mrs. Yongpinghou. This will kill two birds with one stone.

Things, why not do it?

Mrs. Zhou laughed when she heard this: Are you looking at Hui Yatou there, and you want to make a big fuss with her?

Why is it that Sister Fang is so serious, while Sister Zhen is so gentle and shy, we are too embarrassed to make trouble with her.

The eldest son of the emperor was about to choose a concubine, and everyone showed their magical powers across the sea. Mrs. Zhou was also afraid of those who would try her way. She had already planned to go to the Xu Mansion early, and just following her daughter's wishes, the mother and daughter hurried to Huang

The lady in front became the first guest to arrive.

Eleven Niang is accompanying Mrs. Zhou, isn’t it: Fifth Sister’s child is having her third day today. She can only have a drink with Sister in the evening.

Mrs. Zhou smiled: This is what you said, you will have a drink with me when the time comes.

Jinhua wine has a low alcohol content. Shiyiniang has tried it before and is a little aware of her own alcohol capacity.
