In Bianliang in spring, several rivers meander through the city. Carriages pass by bridges from time to time, and stone slabs will get off the carriage, carefully pulling the reins and shafts.

All the way to the outside of a big mansion, Wen Xiaozhong walked to the side of the car and whispered: "Little lady, this is the Hongshan family of Xinzhou defense envoy."

"I know."

Shiban had already negotiated, Wen Xiaochong continued: "His family was born in Zhenzong. He was a prosperous person during the reign of the late emperor for a while, but he was a little lonely in the Jiayou Nian. The dynasty still did not improve. However, Hongshan is good at socializing and still has some connections in Bianliang. It is easy today, so there is no need to be too close to the Hong family."

If someone was there next to him, he would be surprised by Wen Xiaozhong's familiarity with the Hongshan family.

"How did you know?"

"The little man went to inquire yesterday."

Wen Xiaochong said it very plainly, but he touched the Hong family clearly yesterday.

How much is such a guard worth in Bianliang?

The annual salary is not 500 trump cards, so don't even think about it.

But it is said that Xiaozhong’s monthly salary in the Shen family is not that much, which is a generous benefit.

"Miss, you can get off the bus."

A woman from the Hong family greeted her. Wen Xiaozhong lifted the curtain and placed the stool on the ground.

Zhao Wuwu first stepped down on the stool. When Guoguo arrived, she jumped down with her skirt in one hand.

Well!

The woman blinked and thought to herself that this little lady was so unrestrained?

Any young ladies from famous families must be proficient in etiquette. For example, when getting off the carriage, the best posture is to hold a skirt in one hand and be held by a maid in the other hand, and get off the car calmly and elegantly.

But Guoguo jumped down like this, and her body was so agile.

"The little lady is heroic."

Wen Xiaozhong praised without hesitation, and then glanced at the woman.

The woman knew his identity and couldn't help but take a step back, then smiled and said, "Please follow me."

After entering, I walked from the left and passed two doors, and my eyes suddenly became clear.

In front is an open space with trees scattered among them, and there is a large pool. Behind there is a path that leads to secluded places. From a glance, the trees are shady, and I don’t know how big it is.

“This is my garden.”

The woman turned around and looked at Guoguo with a smile.

How many generations have the Hong family made their fortune? The so-called third generation of food and clothing are considered as the second generation of rich people. The Shen family was made by Shen An and belonged to the rich people. The Hong family is naturally qualified to be reserved.

Everyone followed her and walked along the path.

After turning around a rockery, the noise suddenly came.

This is an open space, with a veranda on the left, where more than a dozen veiled women were sitting, and there were some couches and stools on the open space on the right, and more than twenty men sat in scattered positions.

"Little lady, veil!"

Zhao Wuwu stepped forward quickly and reached out to pull down the veil of the veil.

Guoguo is not used to this, but Taro is very curious.

"Aunt, is it fun?"

In the world of children, this is very interesting. If he can, he would also like to have one.

"Not fun."

Guoguo reached out and Taro held her sleeve and followed her to the corridor.

As a little brat, he can go to the female relatives to hang out.

The two people stood up from the female family, but it was Wang Dinger and Ma Xiaoxiao.

"Guoguo!"

The two came over with a smile and welcomed Guoguo's aunt and nephew in.

The girls inside were all girls. When Guoguo came in, some of them looked hostile and some were curious... but they all stood up to salute.

"I've seen Miss Chen."

Guoguo returned the gift, and was then taken to her side by Wang Dinger and Ma Xiaoxiao. With taro, the four of them sat together.

"Ta, what are you doing?"

Wang Ding'er and taro were very familiar, so she joked about him.

Taro said with a stern face: "I'll protect my aunt."

"Oh!" Ma Xiaoxiao couldn't help but pinch his face when she saw him cute, "Tao even knows how to protect her aunt. What should you do if someone bullies your aunt?"

Taro raised his head and said, "Dad said that I would support my aunt when I grow up. If anyone dares to bully her, I will hit him!"

My mother's family has always been the last way out for a woman to retreat and be decent. When her family is indifferent, the woman has actually no way out for a woman to retreat.

The women around were originally whispering, but they couldn't help but be envious when they heard this.

Guoguo touched Taro's head and smiled, "Ta is the most filial."

Having such a nephew is really heartwarming.

Wang Ding'er said happily: "Tao, then when you grow up, you will have to take the Jinshi exam?"

In the eyes of women, fathers and brothers are the most dignified as officials. They can stand up straight after marrying themselves, and are not afraid of difficulties caused by their in-laws.

So marriage is always a match for the same family. There are fairy tales like Cinderella, but they are only rare.

"No!" Taro frowned and said with deep grudges: "Dad said whatever I want."

"Huh!" A woman over there exclaimed, then smiled and said, "It's not good for a child to lie."

This was a bit shocking. Guoguo looked at her and said, "My brother said that the future of a child depends on his preferences and his strengths. If he is not suitable for being an official, but insists on forcing him to be an official, it will harm others and oneself. The children of the Shen family only have one rule, that is, don't harm others."

Everyone was silent.

It seems that the requirements for not harming others are very low, but if you think about it carefully, Chen An’s family business is huge, and after the two children split up, they will still be rich enough to compete with the country. What does such a family require?

Be an official?

As officials, they must have the ability to be peaceful, otherwise they will be cheated because of their wealth.

If you don't become an official...

That's just not harming others?

This is indeed a request for great wisdom to be foolish!

Several women nodded.

"Mr. Chen is not bad at this."

"It's true, the children don't harm others, and the Shen family likes to donate money. Such families will naturally benefit the country and be at peace with each other."

"If Shen Longtu is like this... If it were someone else, there would be a large group of children."

A woman looked at her eyebrows and looked shyly, and secretly glanced at Guoguo.

"Guoguo doesn't pay attention to her." Ma Xiaoxiao said angrily: "I want to enter your house!"

Guoguo wrinkled her nose, "I don't like people like her!"

If Chen An wants to find a woman, any beauty is not a problem. As for what he says, it depends on the woman's background... Except for the princess, no background is useful to him.

"here we go!"

At this time, Hongshan appeared.

"All the wise men and women are here to visit their humble house today, and Hong is very happy."

Hongshan looked very kind and looked like a rich man. But if you really treat this person as a rich man, then you are very wrong.

"This is a bright spring, and Hong has prepared some good wine and dishes to wait for the guests."

Hongshan clapped his hands, and the servant and the servants split into two sides to start serving wine and food.

"It's actually said it's a poetry gathering, so there must be a topic." Hongshan said with a smile: "Since the current official ascended the throne, the Song Dynasty has been booming, the northwest and the north are as stable as Mount Tai. The three corps have surplus every year. This is the scene of a prosperous era. Everyone, today we will take the prosperous era as the topic. How about it?"

The man over there stood up and bowed, "As for order."

Hong Shan smiled and sat there in the middle, then looked around, "Where is the Censor Su?"

“Not coming yet.”

When it comes to Su Shi, the atmosphere is obvious and it is a bit stagnant.

Guoguo was covering her mouth and laughing, Wang Ding'er leaned against her and whispered: "Just laugh."

Guoguo let go of her hand, "If Brother Zizhan comes, how can they write poems?"

Thinking of the despair of those people after Su Shi appeared, Ma Xiaoxiao burst out with a squeak.

"It's starting! It's starting!"
