playful peasant girl

Chapter 97
A few days ago, Mr. Zhang from the state capital revealed that the daughter-in-law left by the late wife who stayed behind in his ancestral home was coming to the state capital.

Yesterday, the butler of the Zhang Mansion sent an invitation card saying that Mr. Zhang loved his daughter-in-law, and specially hosted a banquet for celebrities from Linzhou Mansion so that his daughter could get acquainted with her and get used to it as soon as possible.

It turns out that Mr. Zhang already had a wife before winning the first prize. After winning the first prize, he did not cling to the powerful and despise his wives like Chen Shimei. He also served as a petty official for two years. Mourning Huangquan, Yin and Yang are separated.

Anyway, the rumors of Mr. Zhang among the people are not bad. It is said that the daughter left by the fateful wife had to stay in the ancestral home because of his temporary official transfer.

Now that Xia Lan has come to the state capital, she doesn't have any boudoir friends here, she always stays in the mansion, it will inevitably get boring after a long time, Feng Yang took precautions and specially asked her to go with him in ten days The Zhang family went to the banquet.

Xia Lan happened to be not very familiar with the state capital, and through the banquet in this state capital, she could feel the intricacies of the power in this state capital, so she readily agreed to Feng Yang's words.

For Xia Lan, this is just a banquet to get a positive understanding of the relationship between various forces, but for Feng Yang, the meaning is quite different. This is Xia Lan's first time in Tsing Yi after two years. It is natural to show up as the biggest master.

Yunshang Pavilion is the most upscale silk shop and ready-to-wear shop in the state capital, and it is the most sought after shop by the women in the backyards of the dignitaries of the state capital.

Feng Yang specially sent someone to call the best tailors in the shop to measure and make clothes for Xia Lan.

"I want you to make these three sets of clothes have their own characteristics. The clothes of these people in the state capital are all bought from my Yunshang Pavilion. I want you to do far more than those, so that the eldest lady will appear at the banquet." After winning the lottery, each person will go to the cashier to receive 20 taels of silver as a reward." Feng Yang showed both kindness and prestige, he was really planning to let his younger sister overwhelm the others.

The tailors below would dare to neglect such a serious request from Feng Yang, so naturally they would do their best.

Ten days later, Feng Yang asked the maid to send the clothes to Xia Lan to choose.The maids now know that Xia Lan is the rightful master of the Qing Mansion, so naturally they all want to please them.

Xia Lan looked at the three pieces of clothing in the tray. One was a streamer skirt with fiery red brocade and dark pattern. From a new perspective, it is so beautiful that people can't bear to look away.

The other is an ice-blue pleated skirt with long sleeves and flowers, made of cloud silk from Suzhou Huangfu's family, and the last one is peach-colored wide-sleeved Liuxian Qun. Tender and pretty.

The three pieces of clothing have their own characteristics, not to mention this style, the material alone is already very expensive, Feng Yang is really reluctant to part with it this time.

Xia Lan could tell these three pieces of clothes after looking at them once. Feng Yang had someone specially make them like this, because his usual flamboyant style was reflected in these three pieces of clothes.

Xia Lan felt a little helpless, today's protagonist is the young lady of the Zhang family, he is so flamboyant, isn't he trying to bring hatred to himself, and after weighing it a few times, Xia Lan still chose the ice blue dress.

Xiaotao looked at her young lady who had changed her clothes, she was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her, with icy skin and clear eyes and bright teeth, she was so charming.

Let Qingmei tie up her hair, and only inserted a jade bone plum flower hairpin obliquely in her black hair, simple and low-key.

Xia Lan looked at herself in the bronze mirror, with pretty eyes, and felt that she was really blessed by space, and that her delicate aptitude had also cultivated such an incomparable beauty, and felt that she was quite narcissistic.

When Feng Yang saw her when she passed by, his eyes were amazed, but more proud, he always knew that his sister had an extraordinary appearance.

Today's Zhang's mansion is full of disturbances. All the famous people in Linzhou's mansion have arrived. There is a hall for male guests and a hall for female relatives.

When Feng Yang and Xia Lan arrived, the housekeeper of the Zhang residence immediately greeted them, "Mr. Feng is here to invite you soon, I wonder who this girl is?"

Feng Yang took out a congratulatory gift and handed it to her, "My little sister, Tsing Yi!"

Steward Zhang has always heard that the real owner of Qingfu's property is someone else, but he was still taken aback when he saw the girl in front of him. Although her appearance is impeccable, but at such a young age, is she really the rightful owner of Qingfu?

However, Butler Zhang is also a well-informed person and an astute person, so he quickly winked at the singer, "Miss Qing is welcome soon."

"Mr. Feng of the Qing Mansion, Miss Qing is here, and I will give you a bottle of beeswax for the Buddha of Joy." The voice of the person singing the salute was sonorous and cadenced.

The male guests left in the flower hall naturally heard it, Miss Qing, it was the first time they heard that Feng Yang had brought a woman, and they all looked forward to it.

Seeing Feng Yang approaching, Mr. Zhang stepped down from the main seat, his face flushed, "Young Master Feng is a distinguished guest, please come inside."

Seeing Xia Lan beside Feng Yang, she is an old fox after all. Although she was surprised, she remained calm, "This is Ms. Tsing Yi Qing, right? It just so happens that the little girl just came from her hometown, and she is about the same age as Ms. Qing. We can play more together."

Xia Lan showed a standard workplace smile, and her tone was polite, "Master Zhang is very right, I happen to have no friends."

Mr. Zhang called the maid to lead the way, and the female relatives who came today are in another flower hall and the garden of Zhang's mansion.

The maid led her to walk in the garden, saluting one or two ladies who passed by from time to time. They were a little surprised when they saw Xia Lan, and they didn't know which lady it was, so they took a look and left in a hurry.

Walking to the lotus pond, it is not yet the time when the lotus blooms, so naturally there are no people here.

Xia Lan looked at the growing number of girls and ladies in the garden, sent the maid away, and Qingmei followed her.

"Qingmei, what do you think the eldest daughter of the state capital should look like? Why is the banquet not held for her today, and the rightful owner has not yet appeared?" Xia Lan stood by the lotus pond, with the breeze blowing, The green shade is cool, it is really a good place to escape the heat.

"Miss, do you have an idea?" Even though Qing Mei was smart, she couldn't think of what Xia Lan was thinking at this moment.

"Do you think that the eldest daughter of the lord of the state government will be so favored as soon as she comes back?" Xia Lan held a flower she picked in the garden just now, broke off a petal and threw it into the water. Is not slow.

"This, it's hard to say", Qingmei couldn't guess, after all, this is someone else's family business.

There are several pavilions in this garden, and it is cool when the wind blows, so there are many people gathered to chat and laugh.

"Sister Luo, it's been a long time, but it's okay." A clear girl's voice floated from the pavilion not far away.

"Thank you for talking about it, Miss Fourth and Miss Seven, how are you doing these days", a woman replied.

In the pavilion over there, there was a gentle and continuous conversation, but I couldn't hear clearly, and happy laughter floated over from time to time.

Xia Lan thought about it, "Qingmei, do you know how many children are there in this adult's house?"
