While talking, they had already walked around to the garden. Refreshments had been placed in the open pavilion. Zhou Lijun had just asked someone to put them on the table. When he turned around and saw the guests, he hurriedly went up to greet them.

Man Bao introduced them to them, "This is my second niece."

They were not surprised when they saw Man Bao calling a girl older than her niece. In a big family, eight-year-old uncles and grandnephews and forty-year-old grandnephews are common.

After sitting in the open pavilion, Mrs. Tang asked who she had invited.

Man Bao said: "I just invited some friends I know. Apart from you, the only female relatives are my friend Sister Fu, and a few young ladies from the Liu family, Li family and Wang family."

They were all formally acquainted with them in the palace last time. Before that, she had visited their home for medical treatment, but they had not spoken much.

Mrs. Tang felt relieved when she heard this. They were all familiar girls, and their temperaments were not that bad.

Mrs. Tang was about to ask more details when Zhou Liru came in and said, "Sister-in-law, the second sister asked me to tell you that the second young lady of the Fu family is here."

Manbao's eyes lit up and he said to a few people, "I'll go pick them up. Sister-in-law, you guys can play first."

After that, he ran away in a hurry.

Mrs. Tang smiled and shook her head, raised her tea cup to signal to Sister Yin and others.

Sister Yin smiled, raised her tea cup and took a sip.

Fu Wenyun came by herself. As soon as they met, she held hands with Man Bao. They went in together and asked, "Why don't you bring the child?"

"He's too young," Fu Wenyun said, "It's hard to take him with me when I go out, so I left him at home."

She held her hand and smiled: "I thought I would come to accompany you earlier, and I would go back after noon, but I didn't expect someone to come earlier than me."

Man Bao smiled and said, "Mrs. Tang and the others live nearby, so they came quickly."

Fu Wenyun had never met Mrs. Tang and others, so Man Baolian took her hand and introduced her to Mrs. Tang and others.

There were not many people, and they were all friends of Man Bao, so the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Zhou Lijun and Zhou Liru helped Man Bao to welcome guests at home. Liu Huan's sister Liu Lirong simply made an appointment with Wang Zhenshu, the young lady of the Wang family, Li Ming, the young lady of the Li family, Han E and Cheng Wei, the young ladies of the Han and Cheng families.

Came together.

They were all Man Bao's better friends when they played in the palace last time. They bought flowers from her a lot after that. They also played the best with Princess Mingda, and they were about the same age as Man Bao, so last time Liu Huan was in vain.

After Shanna took the post to his sister, Manbao simply gave it to all of them.

They are all here.

The three unmarried sisters of the Yin family were all familiar with them. After all, they often met at banquets, so they got together to talk.

There were only four married women left in Changxuan, Mrs. Tang, Mrs. Yang, Sister Yin and Fu Wenyun.

Li Ming turned to look at Changxuan, pulled Manbao over and asked, "Is Yang Heshu here too?"

Man Bao nodded.

Li Ming's eyes lit up and he asked in a low voice: "Is it really as beautiful as people say?"

Man Bao was curious, "Have you never seen him?"

Li Ming shook his head, "I used to live in my hometown with my grandmother. I came to the capital three years ago. I didn't even watch my cousin-in-law's son Hundred Days Wine last time."

Wang Zhenshu said: "I have two sisters who are a few years older than me and got married two years ago. I heard that it is because he is unwilling to talk when we meet now. If they hadn't fought so fiercely back then, they might not have been able to get the Cui family.

Girl."

Man Bao frowned slightly, "Senior Brother Yang is good-looking, but not so good-looking, right? There are many good-looking people in the world, and Mrs. Yang is not ugly either."

"There are talented people in this world, and there are also good-looking people. But there are very few who are both good-looking and talented, have good character, and have such outstanding family backgrounds," Han E smiled, holding Man Bao and Li Ming's shoulders.

Said: "You were not in the capital when you were young, so you don't know how powerful Yang Heshu is. You see, he is better than Tang He now, but he is three years younger than him."

"Tang He was admitted to the Guozi School by En Yinjin, but Yang Heshu was admitted at a young age. When he was admitted to the Guozi School, my father and my uncle beat up all three brothers. We can hear this every day

Until their father beat and scolded them."

Man Bao was speechless, and after thinking for a moment he said, "Bai Shan was also admitted to Guozixue. I also read their questions last year. I feel that if I take the same paper, I should be able to get in."

So she didn't envy Yang Heshu at all.

Ladies: ...I suddenly felt so angry.

Liu Lirong couldn't help but said: "Can you play the piano?"

Man Bao: "I've learned some, do you want to play? Bai Shan and I borrowed the piano, they have it."

"Then can you draw?" Li Ming: "I'm pretty good at drawing."

Man Bao: "I also learned a little bit."

She paused and then said: "Do you want to learn some medical science from me? Maybe you can use it in the future."

They seemed to be unable to compete in studies. The five little girls were discouraged. Wang Zhenshu said: "I found the book you asked me to borrow last time in my study room, but my father didn't allow me to borrow it. I was copying it recently and waiting.

I've copied it and sent it to you."

Man Bao was extremely grateful.

The Wang family has the largest collection of books, but unfortunately the Wang family also has many rules and attaches great importance to books. She has been to the Wang family three times, twice to see a doctor, and once to see Wang Zhenshu.

The last time Wang Zhenshu took her into the study secretly, it was really full of books, which made her eyes wide open. Unfortunately, she was discovered soon and ran away.

The other four little girls didn't like reading very much, so they couldn't get involved in their conversation. After they finished talking, Cheng Wei asked curiously: "Didn't you say that your fourth sister-in-law and fifth sister-in-law are also here? Why don't you see them?"

"

"Yes, I think it was Mrs. Bai who arranged the table in the guest house just now. She is your future mother-in-law."

Man Bao said: "My fourth sister-in-law is sick, and my fifth sister-in-law is a little sick because of the journey, and she has to take care of the children, so she won't come out today."

After all, these wealthy ladies are very delicate. What if they get over the illness?

Man Bao said: "Next time you come, I will introduce them to you."

Fourth Sister Yin looked around and saw that no one was coming, so she couldn't help but ask her, "Are we the only female guests today?"

Man Bao thought for a moment and said, "You are the only ones I'm inviting here. I don't know if Bai Shan and the others invited any female guests earlier. If so, my niece and the others will bring them here."

Fourth Sister Yin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I think it's quite fun and more comfortable just for us."

Cheng Wei: "Yes, there were too many people at Li Shangshu's house during the Hundred Days Drinks last time. There were people everywhere in the garden, many of whom I have never seen."

Li Ming: "Just say it's a mess. Don't talk about you. My master is dizzy. I don't know many people. I only get pulled by adults to greet people all day long. Many of them came to the capital to take exams."

family members.”

Several people talked freely, and the topic slowly dispersed. Cheng Wei also pushed the fourth sister Yin and the fifth sister Yin, winked and said: "You are getting married in June. Since you are here today, why not let Manbao give it to you?"
