Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 265
Luomeiyuan.

Yao Cunhui held an invitation card in his hand, the texture of the big red mud and gold peony, opened it, and it was very beautifully written in small letters, besides the name of the owner, there was also a thumb-sized red seal, which was very attractive Attention.

It was sent by Wengzhu Pingjin to invite her to the flower viewing banquet tomorrow.

Yao Cunhui knew very well that this flower viewing banquet was actually a Hongmen banquet.After all, Lord Pingjin is not such a person who gives up easily.

Yao Cunhui was in a daze for a long time, and Rong's mother watched from the sidelines for a long time, her brows furrowed and loosened, loosened and furrowed, but she was only secretly anxious.

"Second Miss, why don't you go tomorrow! Let's just say, let's just say that I haven't recovered from the shock a few days ago—"

"It's useless." Yao Cunhui shook his head, gently put the hot and publicized post on the small table beside him, and said softly: "You can hide from the first day of the junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day." Moreover, this kind of shrinking head Didn't the tortoise's behavior tarnish even Shen Quan's face?Others have no choice but to say, "How does King Zhenxi fall in love with that kind of woman!"

"Go and find the gold hairpin that the queen mother gave me, I will wear it tomorrow!"

"Yes! Yes!" Rong's mother was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Miss, you have a good memory! With the golden hairpin given by the Queen Mother, the Lord Pingjin will have to look at his face when he says anything."

Yao Cunhui said with a smile: "Actually, I don't dare to put too much hope on this, and I don't know if it will be useful!"

In case someone is going to do something wrong, like the situation at the gate of Yao Mansion last time, what can she do?The last time my grandmother came to the rescue, but this time, I can only count on myself!

In the evening, Shen Quan arrived as scheduled, and his face was not very good-looking.

When the two met, Shen Quan frowned and said: "It's impossible, call me sick tomorrow and don't go! I'm not at ease. Let's endure these days, I don't believe how long the Queen Mother can suppress this matter!"

Shen Quan has brought up the old matter to the Queen Mother for the second time, but the Queen Mother still did not give him a letter of approval, and then it was even better, when he asked to see him again, the Queen Mother made excuses to avoid it and never saw him!
"How can I do that!" Yao Cunhui said with a smile, "Is this the only thing you want to say to me when you come tonight?"

Shen Quan was startled, and then sighed wryly: "How can I! I know your temper! Tomorrow, the flower viewing banquet will be held in that woman's other courtyard outside the city. What is the peony garden in the Xishan area? I will ask Qianshan to make it for you. The coachman is driving, and I will wait around for you to come out. Be smart, don't be brave, and find an excuse to leave when you see something wrong, you know!"

"Understood!" Yao Cunhui laughed and said, "If she wants to kill me, I will escape from that garden even if I run away!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Shen Quan was very unhappy to hear this. "She doesn't have the guts to open the sword and shoot the spear, but it's hard to guard against it. It's impossible to make anything bad. The women in the back house of the high gate compound are best at medicine. I Just worry—don’t even touch the glass of water at the banquet, you know! There are also these two detoxification pills, you take them before you go out tomorrow, as long as they are not strange and weird medicines, they will have some effect !"

Yao Cunhui agreed one by one and put away the pills carefully.

"You must come back!" Shen Quan supported her shoulders, looking at her with bright eyes.

"I will! I'm still waiting for you to marry me!" Yao Cunhui smiled sweetly.He was willing to fight for her, why couldn't she fight for him?

Shen Quan smiled, as if he had made a lot of determination, suddenly took out a golden token from his bosom, and solemnly handed it to Yao Cunhui, "This is the token of King Zhenxi, you take it, and when you arrive at At that time, if she asks someone to force her, with this token in hand, those guards and servants will have to weigh it if they dare to take it!"

"No!" Yao Cunhui was taken aback, and quickly shook his head, "Are you crazy? No!"

Yao Cunhui was angry and funny, and said angrily to him, "Do you think it's appropriate for me to take this thing? Don't say it will shock others, I'm afraid it will just give others a ready-made excuse to take me!"

Moreover, what is the relationship between her and him now?She took that token, it's too inappropriate, maybe she will spread a lot of ugly words, and what's more serious, Shen Quan will be imprisoned by the censor!
Why didn't Shen Quan know?Seeing her persistence, she sighed and retracted, and said sullenly, "I'm really worried about you..."

"I will be careful!" Yao Cunhui shook his hand vigorously.

In the early morning of the next day, Yao Cunhui got up to take a shower and put on makeup, and asked Rong Ma and others to check it carefully several times, and she was relieved after making sure that there was nothing that could be faulted.

"Miss, please tie up this sleeve arrow too!" Xiao Li found out this treasure.

"Yes, yes! Maybe it will be useful!" Rong Ma's eyes lit up, and she praised Xiao Li with a smile.

Maybe it will come in handy?How useful this can be!
Yao Cunhui couldn't help but smile bitterly, and pressed down Mama Rong's hand, "What are you kidding, if someone sees you, put on a hat of murdering the royal relatives, you still expect me to come back!"

The two of them turned pale immediately and had no choice but to give up.

After saying goodbye to Master Yao and Yao Shizan, Yao Cunhui was about to go out when a carriage hurriedly drove up from the opposite side, and saw the servant girl helping Mrs. Min get down, and Hu Po followed behind.

"Big Cousin!" Yao Cunhui was taken aback and hurried forward to meet her.

"Hui'er!" Min's took her hand and said angrily, "Why don't you ask someone to go to Yunfu to talk about such a big matter!"

Yao Cunhui's face flushed, she was embarrassed and said with a smile: "I, I just got the news yesterday, I forgot for a while..." For fear that Mrs. Min would not believe it, she repeated in a more emphatic tone: "I really forgot !"

"Okay!" Min said with a smile: "I think so! Fortunately, you forgot that someone finally remembered. Grandma asked me to bring Amber to follow you, so I can take care of you."

"Thank you grandma, thank you big cousin!" Yao Cunhui warmed up, thanked Min, and nodded to Hu Po with a smile.

Amber stepped forward to salute with a smile, "I will take good care of the second lady!" She stood calmly behind her.

"Go, we'll talk about it when we come back!" Min looked at her clothes, nodded, and patted her hand lightly.

Yao Cunhui heard what she said, "It's a good thing you forgot that someone finally remembered" Yunyun, and smiled ambiguously at herself, feeling a little embarrassed, when she heard her change the subject, she felt relieved, and hurriedly agreed with a smile, bringing Amber and Xiaoli went.

Xiao Xing, who originally planned to go, stayed behind.

As the name suggests, the Peony Garden is full of all kinds of peonies. It’s not the time to bloom now, but who is the owner of Pingjin?Lord Weng said that he wanted to enjoy the flowers, so naturally there was a continuous flow of flowers grown in the greenhouse.

Walking all the way into the garden, you can see peonies in full bloom everywhere, under the corridor, by the water, beside the road, at the bottom of the slope, or alone, or in three or five clusters, or in succession, the flowers are as big as the mouth of a bowl, trembling slightly in the wind Blooming branches, delicate red, pink, bright red, purple red, golden yellow, light yellow, pure white, etc., are particularly eye-catching in the early spring when the greenery is just full of flowers and the flowers have not yet bloomed.

Yao Cunhui casually glanced at a clump of orange-red and gold-flowered hibiscus on the side of the road, and could faintly see the green grass covering the ground, revealing the edge of a brown pottery pot. They dug a hole and buried the flowerpots!Looking closely at Xiaopo who is not far away, you can also see the traces of shallow burial, and you can't help but sigh in your heart for the extravagance and squandering of the Lu family!

The banquet was held on a lawn near the lake in the back garden. At this time, a long and beautiful colorful screen was erected on the windward side to shield it from the wind. One side faced the water and the two sides were open.

The grass is covered with exquisite carpets, and there are long, narrow and low tables. There are maids wearing pink Pijab and white silk skirts and combing double-hangers, and they are busy going back and forth between the tables. , put a portion of good wine, delicacies, and fresh melon and fruit snacks on the table.

The Lord Weng of Pingjin is sitting or standing with about 20 sisters and guests in the cheerful Furong Pavilion next to him, chatting and laughing, and the laughter like silver bells can be heard far away.

When the maid brought Yao Cunhui over, everyone stopped talking and laughing, and all eyes turned to her.

All the noble ladies were very curious about this folk woman who dared to rob the Queen Mother's favorite Pingjin Wengzhu for a man, and took the opportunity to scrutinize her to see if she had three heads and six arms or had the guts of a leopard!
"Come here? I'm waiting for you, come in!" Mrs. Pingjin's voice was clear and soft, with a beautiful smile like a peony flower on her face, as if all the unhappiness had never happened.

The noble ladies who knew her couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. The more polite the old man looked at and the more friendly the smile was, it was the most difficult time. Two kind-hearted princesses couldn't help but look at her. Yao Cunhui glanced sympathetically through the past.

I sighed secretly in my heart: King Zhenxi is not the only man in the world, why bother to fight with Lord Pingjin?At that time, I won't even know if I lost my life!

Yao Cunhui stepped forward under the gazes of the women, her steps were light, her eyes were not squinted, her eyes were slightly lowered, just right, it didn't give people the feeling of shrinking their shoulders and arching their backs, but instead exuded a soft, calm and calm atmosphere.

A maid silently placed a round cushion in front of Yao Cunhui.Yao Cunhui gently knelt down towards the mat, and as soon as she knelt down, she felt a slight change in her face. There were many gravels in the mat, and her diaphragm was on her knees, causing sharp pains one after another.

"Minister Yao Cunhui met the Lord!" Yao Cunhui could only bear with it, comforting herself in her heart: Fortunately, she didn't inject a needle.

But Yao Cunhui didn't know that Pingjin Wengzhu wanted to sew a knife inside, so that she could be finished!But because of what happened last time, she was reprimanded by her father, so she dared not make a mistake.Originally planning to put the needle, Rou'er advised her that in case Yao Cunhui's knee oozes blood in public, it would be unsightly if someone finds out, it would be better to put some sharp gravel on it, and kneeling for a long time will give her a hard time eat.

Lord Pingjin didn't hear at all, just smiled and chatted with the sisters around him, glanced over from the corner of his eye, saw Yao Cunhui calmly enduring, sneered in his heart, and talked and laughed happily with the sisters.

All the ladies knew that Pingjin Wengzhu wanted to give Yao Cunhui a bad rap, no one dared to intercede, and all of them just pretended not to see it.But Yao Cunhui is kneeling in the middle, anyone who is not blind can see it.So the girls had no choice but to turn their heads and talk to the people next to them to cover up.
