stormy clouds

Early in the morning, Mrs. Pei took Chang Luoyun and Chang Luoyao straight to Changping Hou Mansion.

She purposely put on the green woven golden gown with flowers for the Spring Banquet, with a thin layer of rouge evenly spread on her face, she looked very good.

Compared to Pei's and Chang Luoyao's fancy dress, Chang Luoyun only wore a sky blue embroidered beige and a white thread skirt, which looked extremely elegant.

As soon as the three of them got out of the carriage, they saw a lady and a young lady getting off the carriage parked in front of the Hou Mansion.

The lady was wearing a crimson purple trousers, her back was straight, and her expression was haughty.The girl beside her was wearing a pine green trousers and a peach red pleated skirt, her skin was creamy, her eyes were wavy, and she was very delicate and charming.

Seeing them, the lady also looked over, glanced at them indifferently, then turned her gaze away, and walked towards Changping Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Pei thought to herself, there are really many noble people in Lindu, and if you meet one casually, they don't look ordinary.

The girl who delivered the post that day was already waiting at the door, when she saw the lady, she greeted her with a smile, and said bluntly: "Mrs. Uncle, Miss Lian Er, the old lady has been waiting for a long time, please come inside."

When Mrs. Pei heard that it was Mrs. Uncle, she couldn't help taking another look.

No wonder she looked so defiant, it turned out to be Mrs. Uncle.

Chang Luoyun followed her, saw the envy in her eyes, and reminded: "Ms. Pei is very good at watching the road, if she falls, it will be a big embarrassment."

Pei knew that she was mocking him, and was a little sullen, but thinking that this place was no better than other places, it was not easy to talk to her.

It was Chang Luoyao who gave her a dissatisfied look.

Chang Luoyun didn't meet her gaze and just concentrated on walking.

The courtyard of the Changping Marquis Mansion is really grand.There are water pavilions and pavilions, luxuriant flowers and plants, and a road paved with bluestone slabs is wide and flat.

Chang Luoyun walked under an apricot tree, and the apricot blossoms were extremely delicate, the breeze passed by, and the apricot blossoms fell, she stretched out her hand to pick them up, the delicate petals fell on the palm, and the hands were stained with apricot blossoms light fragrance.

Mrs. Mu stopped at a distance, and asked Yun Ying who was beside her, "The one standing under the apricot tree is Miss Chang Si?"

Yunying nodded, "Yes."

"It's very good. Her mother was also very good back then." Mrs. Mu narrowed her eyes slightly, and her beautiful face appeared before her eyes, as well as what she said neither humble nor humble: "Ma'am, the Chang family is humble and weak. I really dare not talk about this marriage."

"Old lady, Mrs. Pei is here." Yunying reminded.

Madam Mu came back to her senses, exhaled, and greeted her with a smile.

"Miss Pei, please hurry up."

Mrs. Mu chuckled and said, "Hey, this is Miss Four and Miss Five, they are really handsome."

There was a smile on the corners of her brows and eyes, "The Hou Mansion has not been this lively for many years, and today I invited my sister, Mrs. Cheng Anbo, to bring the second girl, Lian Er, over here, and everyone will be lively together."

Mrs. Pei smiled and said: "The old lady has a heart, and the women can't bear it!"

Mrs. Mu took Mrs. Pei's hand and walked forward, "Ms. Pei, what are you talking about? Mrs. Chang was kind to my family back then. Today, even if I asked you to come to the door in person, it's just because of me."

Chang Luoyao followed behind, really unable to move, like a weak willow supporting the wind.

Chang Luoyun saw that Mrs. Mu was about 50 years old. Although she was well maintained, she still had wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. Especially when she smiled, the lines at the corners of her eyes spread out like a fan, but this made her look more kind. .

"Miss Si, I heard that your tapestry this time is really amazing. I don't know if I will have a chance to see it." Mrs. Mu said with a smile.

"Madam praised it absurdly. It's just a small skill. If Madam likes it, I will embroider one for Madam when I go back." Chang Luoyun replied with a smile.

"Girls will go to the palace to embroider in a few days. The days will be long. When I leave the palace, I will come to ask for them in person."

A group of people quickly walked to the flower hall.Mrs. Cheng Anbo and the second girl are already waiting in the flower hall.

Seeing Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Cheng Anbo got up to greet her, "Sister, Yunying said you were in the flower hall, but when you got here, you went out."

"I just went out too. I originally wanted to pick you up, but I probably missed it on the way." Mrs. Mu introduced Mrs. Pei and Chang Luoyun and Chang Luoyao to Mrs. Cheng Anbo,

"This is Qingzhou Chang Shaocheng's wife and two girls. I think the two girls are about the same age as Lianzhen, so they can play together."

Mrs. Cheng Anbo glanced at them and smiled slightly, as a greeting.

Lian Zhen smiled and greeted the three of them one by one.Old Man Mu smiled and beckoned everyone to sit down, "It's still early, let's have a cup of tea and rest for a while, then go for a stroll in the garden.

In the past few days, the apricot blossoms in Xiyuan have bloomed, and we also happened to go to enjoy the flowers. "

Mrs. Mu ordered: "Yunying, go and bring me a new cup of tea that was delivered this year."

Yunying agreed to go.

Mrs. Cheng'an said: "I heard that Jing Yi came back a few days ago, did you leave the mansion today?"

"I said I was going to see a friend. I'm afraid I'll come later because I have to play." Mrs. Mu said about her son, the corners of her eyes and brows became softer.

"The last time I saw Jing Yi was at your sister's birthday party. It's been almost half a year now."

Mrs. Cheng'an said: "I watched Jing Yi grow up, and he and Lian Zhen had a great time when they were young. Now that we haven't seen each other for a long time, I really miss him."

Mrs. Mu said: "When he comes back, I will definitely let him go to Cheng'an Bo's residence, and also go to see Feng'er."

Feng'er is the eldest son of the Cheng'an House, and the older brother of Lian Zhen's mother.

As soon as Feng'er was mentioned, Mrs. Cheng Anbo laughed, "Yes, Feng'er misses Jing Yi every day, if Zhou Shizi hadn't dragged him out early this morning, he would definitely follow."

Mrs. Pei complimented, "When I was in Qingzhou, I heard that Lindu is very talented. Now that I see the two wives, I know that he is a good parent."

Mrs. Mu said: "It's the same for you. Look at the two girls beside you. Their looks are second. The most important thing is that they can have such a high attainment in female celebrities at such a young age. My wife is so lucky! "

Pei pursed her lips and smiled, but couldn't hide her complacency in her eyes, "That's because they were lucky."

"It's luck once in a while, but it's not just luck to win the embroidery competition with so many people participating."

When Mrs. Mu said this, Mrs. Pei became more and more happy. She said: "The woman came here this time, and she didn't have anything to sell, but there is still a piece of embroidery in the house. I brought it here to relieve Madam's boredom. Ma'am, don't be disgusted."

Mrs. Mu said: "The things you brought on a special trip, how could there be any reason for them to be bad, quickly show them to me, what kind of good things are they?"

Pei called out, "Autumn Mark."

Qiu Hen came up holding the scroll and unfolded it in front of Mrs. Mu.

Mrs. Mu looked at the scroll, then stood up suddenly, stepped forward to examine it carefully, and said in a deep voice: "It really is good, I have seen this Mohe picture before, if I guessed correctly, It should have come from Lady Han."
