spring cloud warm

Chapter 16
The wind blows for thirty miles, and the vehicles in front of the palace of Yongxian County are like running water and horses are like dragons.

We all know that today is the birthday of County Lord Mingxiu. As the most beloved eldest daughter of the county king, County Head Mingxiu has just turned 16 this year.

The king of the county sent invitations widely, and almost all the female relatives of the same age in each mansion received the invitation.

Mrs. Cheng Yihou also won a share for Xu Chunjun.

"Your father, uncle, and the others have already been pardoned, and they will return to Beijing in a few days. Today's emperor treats the reform differently from the previous emperor, otherwise I will not be able to accomplish this matter no matter how capable I am. Your marriage to Wuji has not yet been made public. After your family has entered Beijing and settled down, the two families will formally draft a post. You are now a distant relative of my family, and you live in our house. If there is any party in the capital, you just go. Long experience, It won't do you any harm if you look familiar." Mrs. Hou said so.

Xu Chunjun has always been calm and stable, she understood what Mrs. Hou meant, thanked her, packed the clothes and presents for going out, and brought two maids and Mama Ye to the county palace.

There are so many carriages and horses in front of the palace gate, it is difficult for Xu Chunjun and others to get close for a while.

"Mother Ye, stop here." Xu Chunjun said, "Let's get out of the car and walk over, it's not far anyway."

"Thank you for your understanding, Miss. It's just troublesome for the girl." Mother Ye is Mrs. Hou's confidant, and Mrs. Hou thinks highly of Xu Chunjun, so she naturally dare not neglect her.

It's just that Xu Chunjun didn't change his attitude just because of the change of status, he was neither humble nor overbearing, humble and polite as usual.

After entering the door, everyone walked in, because the weather was fine, everyone went to the garden, and waited until the banquet opened before taking their seats.

The ladies of each family are all dressed up in a shameless way, and their clothes and jewelry are all exquisite and exquisite.

Xu Chunjun's attire inevitably looked ordinary among these people, but fortunately she didn't care.

As soon as he entered the garden, a person jumped out from the side, hugged Xu Chunjun's arm and said, "Sister Xu, it really is you!"

Xu Chunjun took a closer look, held his man's round face and big eyes, smiled sweetly, and couldn't help laughing with her: "So it's you!"

The girl's name is Jiang Nuan, and she met on the way to Beijing.

At that time, because of continuous rainy days, they stayed in an inn for six or seven days, so they got to know each other.

This Miss Jiang family came to Beijing from her ancestral home in Dengzhou to get together with her father and stepmother. Although she didn't get along for a long time, she has the most straightforward and kind personality and is very easy to get along with.

"Sister Xu, are you done with your business?" Jiang Nuan asked Xu Chunjun. She didn't know what it was, but she only knew that Xu Chunjun came to Beijing for business.

Xu Chunjun responded with a slight smile: "It's over."

Seeing that she was not followed by the two girls from before, she asked, "Didn't Bell and Zhuizi follow you?"

"My wife said that the two of them have too little clothes, and I asked a tailor to measure some clothes for them today, so I didn't come." Jiang Nuan was naive, "Besides, Liu'er is more familiar with the rules of the capital, let her come out with me More thoughtful."

The mother and wife she was talking about was her stepmother.

Xu Chunjun couldn't say anything after hearing this, so he asked her in a low voice: "Does your father and your stepmother treat you well?"

"It's all good," Jiang Nuan said with an embarrassed smile, "I was worried before, but after we got here, the whole family treats me very well and gives me whatever is good. My father is busy with errands, so he rarely sees him every day. , my wife and younger sister accompany me, there is no difference at all."

"That's good." Xu Chunjun nodded and smiled.

"The one over there wearing the lake green skirt and jacket is my sister Jiang Qing." Jiang Nuan said and waved over there. She regarded Xu Chunjun as a friend and wanted to introduce her to her sister.

Jiang Qing was huddled in front of several young ladies of the Hou's House, trying her best to blend in.

Seeing my sister calling her, I felt a little unhappy, but remembering my mother's advice, I walked over pretending to be happy.

"This is what I mentioned. The Xu family sister I met on the way to Beijing, she is very nice, we hit it off right away." Jiang Nuan said with a smile.

Xu Chunjun saw doubts, scrutiny and disappointment in Jiang Qing's eyes. Although Jiang Nuan didn't notice it, Xu Chunjun knew that this lady was more scheming than Jiang Nuan.

Jiang Nuan was very happy to meet Xu Chunjun here, but Jiang Qing found an excuse to leave after a few words.

She and Jiang Nuan found a small stone table to sit down, and servants from the palace had already come to pour tea.

After the man left, Jiang Nuan stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm really thirsty. Today's breakfast is so salty."

The two of them were drinking tea and talking, the crowd over there suddenly became agitated, Jiang Nuan was curious, pulled Xu Chunjun and said: "Sister Xu, let's go and have a look."

It turned out that it was nothing else, but another guest came, and those people pointed at her, disgusted or laughed at her, obviously they didn't like her.

"I remembered," Jiang Nuan said after listening, "She is Cen Yunchu, the young lady of Yong'an Hou Mansion, she is so beautiful!"

Xu Chunjun has also heard a little about this Miss Cen.

She is a well-known beauty and talented woman in the capital. Her parents divorced since she was a child, and her father never remarried. He loved her very much and took her to travel around the world, even to other countries.

This Cen Yunchu was supposed to be a noble lady, but because Zuo Zhengqing, who looked at her, said that she had "the lowest fate", she was cast aside by everyone.

Those who were originally at odds with her took the opportunity to add insult to injury, so whenever they saw her, they would sneer and ridicule her.

"Muxiuhuayan is inevitably deceived by wind and frost." Xu Chunjun also felt that this Miss Cen was so beautiful that even if she looked at it from a distance, she looked like a fairy descending, which was not comparable to ordinary women.

Although everyone was talking about her, she didn't care, her beautiful and long neck was raised proudly, as if she had entered the land of no one.

Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan didn't join the crowd, they didn't like to make fun of people.

"Ouch, I drank too much water, I have to relieve myself." Jiang Nuan whispered.

"You go, I'll wait for you here." Xu Chunjun said.

After a long time, Jiang Nuan didn't come back for a long time, Xu Chunjun felt that something was wrong, so he took the girl to look for it.

At this time, Jiang Nuan was worrying. It turned out that when going to the toilet, she had to take off her outer skirt and put it on the screen outside.But when she finished untying her hands and came out, she found that the skirt was gone.

"Girl, if you don't dislike wearing slaves first!" Liu Er said.

"What do you do if I wear yours? No way." Jiang Nuan didn't just care about himself and ignore others.

"It doesn't matter to me," Liu Er said with a smile, "No one is looking at me."

At this time Xu Chunjun also arrived, and asked Liu'er, "Okay, why did the skirt disappear? Have you looked around?"

"I found it, but I haven't. Let the girl wear my general for a while." Liu'er felt that Xu Chunjun was meddling in his own business.

"Didn't you prepare yourself when you came here?" Xu Chunjun asked.

"I came out in a hurry, I forgot. That's why I said to give mine to the girl." Liu Er said.

"Your skirt is green plum color, and your girl's blouse is Xizi blue, which doesn't look good with it." Xu Chunjun said, "I brought more, and the green water shield can be fetched from the car outside."
