Chapter 224

Xia Daohua opened it and found that inside the envelope was a piece of exquisite paper sprinkled with gold, and there was a scent of orchid incense on it.

It turned out that it was Xie Fanglan, the seventh lady of the county grandpa's family, who wanted to hold a flower viewing banquet on the day of the Flower Festival on the [-]th of February, and specially posted a post to invite Xia Daohua to participate.

Xia Daohua was a little surprised, Miss Qi of the county magistrate's family doesn't seem to have any friendship with her?

She looked through the customer information records and found that this Miss Seven was actually the first customer who bought something from the store besides the opening guests she invited on the opening day.

The slender lady with a curtain on her head was followed by two maids.

Why would she want to invite herself to the flower viewing feast?

Xia Daohua suddenly became interested.

It's just that she has never participated in this kind of banquet in this time and space, so she wonders if she will make a joke.However, after thinking about it, it doesn't matter if it's a joke or not.

My soul is an adult after all, do I still care about the thoughts of some children?
She tried her best to search the novels she read in her previous life and the webpages she browsed in her memory, and she didn't seem to have explained the etiquette of this banquet in too much detail...

Forget it, let it be!

Thinking of this, Xia Daohua prepared a set of balsam gift boxes of four-season flowers as a souvenir.

The gift box was custom-made by Xia Daohua. It is made of thin wood, painted with red paint, and carved with hollow flower patterns.

There are twelve small round iron boxes inside.

Twelve different kinds of flowers are printed on the lid of the small tin box, which are lifelike and exquisite.

Inside the small iron box are twelve kinds of balms with different fragrances, soft textures and different colors.

Xia Daohua felt that since it was a flower viewing feast, the souvenirs she brought were related to flowers, so it should be considered appropriate!

On the day of the Flower Festival, Xia Daohua arrived early at the venue of the flower viewing banquet with her presents. The county grandpa's family is located in the other courtyard in the suburbs of Jixiang County: Xianmeiyuan.

Holding the post, he easily entered the garden gate.

Xie's family has a little girl who has just grown her hair, her steps are regular, and she is leading the way with a cute and cute face.Xia Daohua walked in with the little maid leading the way, and soon saw a large plum blossom in full bloom.

In the sea of ​​fragrant snow, plum trees are planted all over the place.When the flowers are in bloom, they are fresh and crystal clear, with a striking fragrance, and are as white as snow.

When Xia Daohua saw such a beautiful scene, she couldn't help admiring it.

If you want to talk about the garden art of the ancients, you really can't accept it.The magistrate of the county is just a magistrate, and this other courtyard can be so beautifully repaired.

If it were the homes of princes and nobles, what kind of intoxicating scenery would it be?

Pass through the plum forest, walk into a nine-curved corridor, pass three rockeries, two water pools, and four pavilions, before arriving at the banquet place.

Seeing Xia Daohua, Xie Fanglan rushed to greet her:
"Miss Xia."

"Thank you ma'am."

With smiles on their faces, the two happily greeted each other with blessings, assigned guests and hosts, and then sat down to drink tea and talk.

When the little maid who had just led the way arrived at the place, she quietly turned and left.

I am older, with double buns on my arms, wearing a lake-blue shirt of the same color, autumn-scented bijia, moon-white thread skirt, and a big maid with a thin blue waist, came up to make tea Water, put tea and fruits, and serve attentively.

Seeing this look, Xia Daohua couldn't help but think of the costume TV series she had watched in her previous life.

Xia Daohua put the present she brought on the table and pushed it towards Xie Fanglan:
"Since it's a flower viewing feast, I'll make it fun too. The gadgets in the store are not worth anything, they just serve as a scene. If Mrs. Xie has an extra favorite fragrance type, you can also tell me, and I will let you know later. They do."

Xie Fanglan took the gift box with a smile, and praised: "Mistress Xia has such a clever idea. But in the future, we will come and go often, Miss Xia should not spend such money."

Xie Fanglan invited few guests, but Xia Daohua was the first to arrive.

Xie Fanglan spoke a few words with Xia Daohua, and then someone came again, and she got up again, and stepped forward two steps warmly and politely to greet her.

After a full quarter of an hour, the little ladies finally arrived.

Among the last group of people who came, Xia Daohua saw a very familiar face.

It is said that he is a relative of the emperor, a little princess who is very much loved by the emperor.

When Xia Daohua saw this little princess, she had a vague sense of why she was invited.

This little princess had appeared in Beiguan Town more than two months ago.

She is one of Gu Mingzhen's two juniors.However, at that time, she dressed up as a man.

After all, she was a child, and she didn't talk much, Xia Daohua didn't realize at the time that this person was actually not a young man, but a young lady.

The little princess's name is Gu Shanrou. When she saw Xia Daohua, she asked her with a smile, "Sister Xia, how are you doing in Jixiang County? Are you still used to it?"

Xia Daohua nodded: "Not bad. Jixiang County is a good place."

Gu Shanrou said with a smile: "I heard that sister Xia opened a store called Daohuaxiang? Is the business going well?"

Xia Daohua could tell that there was only pure concern in the little princess's words, so she replied with a smile: "Thank you, princess, for your concern. Thanks to you, the store's business is not bad. It's only been open for more than two months, and it's already in business. Balance of payments."

Gu Shanrou said with a smile: "Sister Xia is really capable. I also have a yard near here, and I will come here to escape the heat in summer. If Sister Xia is free, you can visit me often."

Xia Daohua replied: "Yes. As long as you don't dislike Daohua's noise."

When others saw that Gu Shanrou was so kind to Xia Daohua, they couldn't help but pay attention.

The others are frequent visitors, Xia Daohua and Gu Shanrou are new faces.But Gu Shanrou was wearing the official uniform of the princess, and others knew her identity at a glance.

Xia Daohua was dressed in very simple civilian attire, so everyone speculated about the origin of the little lady born here.

Hearing that Xia Daohua opened a shop, some people thought she was a merchant, and the contempt in their eyes involuntarily surfaced.

Xia Daohua didn't explain either.

She can't control other people's thoughts, and she doesn't mind.

There's no need to go to that effort.

If they like each other, they will naturally become friends.If he despises her purely because of his status, he must not be someone worth making friends with.

Xie Fanglan's attitude towards Xia Daohua was warm and generous, and she couldn't see any dissatisfaction or contempt.

Xia Daohua felt that this trip to the banquet not only enjoyed the beautiful scenery, but also got to know Xie Fanglan and Gu Shanrou, which was already very rewarding.

Xie Fanglan saw that everyone was here, and that the familiar people had also bonded with each other for a while, so she got up and invited everyone to walk together to enjoy the flowers, so that they could sit in the table and listen to the play.

A dozen or so young ladies, except for Xia Daohua, each of them was accompanied by one or two maids, a mighty group of people walked to the depths of Xianmei Garden.
