Rebirth of a famous family: Mala's first wife

Chapter 64 Retirement

In mid-spring, the weather is fine, the grass grows and warblers fly, willows fly and catkins fly, and the back garden of Fu's mansion is filled with the sound of warblers and swallows.Just because Mrs. Fu is the host today, she wants to hold a "Hundred Flowers Banquet" for the women who usually live in the boudoir!
It was almost noon, and the female guests invited by Mrs. Fu had already arrived one after another. In the Jiuqu Corridor by the lake, the ladies and girls had already sat at several tables in twos and threes.It's a pity that the aunts and wives of the Fu family were unable to attend because of family affairs.But none of the young ladies came here, so Mrs. Fu was still very happy.

Amidst the laughter, the little girls in red and green came and went, either carrying food boxes, cups, paper pens, backgammon and other things.They accepted the old lady Fu's order, and they must muster 12 points of energy today, and take good care of the girls and wives who come to the house as guests!
On such occasions, Yin and Fu Junya's mother and daughter will naturally accompany them.Although it was just a banquet on an ordinary day, the reputation of a woman's temperament, talent, etc. was spread from one or two such gatherings.So Fu Junya told herself, reborn in this life, don't underestimate anyone or anything!

Therefore, her makeup today also took a lot of thought.A light apricot-colored spring outfit, among the colorful girls, neither looks particularly outstanding, nor will it be overlooked.The bangs on her forehead added a bit of childishness, and even concealed her real beauty a bit.Because now, she doesn't want to make people jealous.

And Yin's makeup has also improved a lot recently. She is wearing a lotus-colored spring shirt, which makes her look younger by several years.In addition, she was full of laughter and demeanor, which made some stronger wives secretly unhappy.

In this regard, Fu Junya is much more cautious.She was talking and laughing happily with several girls of the same age at this table.Sitting next to her was her third cousin, Liu Yi, the second daughter of her third aunt Fu Yao.Liu Yi is two months older than Fu Junya, with a round face and a very cheerful personality, and the sound of "giggling" spreads very loudly when she laughs.

The two tables next to them were filled with girls who were slightly older than them.Among them are Fu Junya's first cousin Xu Enzhu and second cousin Liu Xin.The rest are all local gentry in Jincheng and ladies from the family of the prefect.These girls have all reached the age of discussing marriage, and their words and deeds are inevitably a little reserved.

Fu Junya looked over with great interest, and saw that the girls seemed to be a little absent-minded, and while talking in a low voice, they glanced at the two tables of the wives from time to time.Because of the experience in her previous life, Fu Junya knew some little secrets of the girls present, and seeing their words and actions at this time, she just felt very cute.

But at the same time, she also had to devote some thought to listening to the topics of the girls at this table with a smile.Occasionally, she would insert a few words in a decent manner to express her appreciation and concern.The harmless makeup and appropriate conversation made the girls at the same table feel very comfortable, and they got closer to her invisibly.

Third cousin Liu Yi even took the initiative to lean over, took her arm, and put her head on her shoulder, "Fourth sister, I really didn't know before that you are such a good person!" In Liu Yi's impression, This fourth younger sister, Fu Junya, is always not talkative, unless she is reciting poems and composing, she will be active.I didn't expect that when I saw him today, it would be completely different from the unpleasant temperament I remembered.

"My younger sister was really ignorant in the past, but now that she has grown up, she is naturally different." Fu Junya looked at Liu Yi with a naive face with a smile, and her thoughts drifted back to her previous life.

In her previous life, she boasted of being lofty and lofty, and always felt bored and vulgar when encountering such lively occasions.What kind of topics do a group of teenage girls talk about together?It's nothing more than which family's makeup is good in color and fine in texture, which family's clothes are made of various materials and fine workmanship, or which family's lady has already settled down with someone else, how many houses and shops are there in the man's house, and whether there are any concubines in the house? Category.

But in fact, what they are most concerned about is who is the most handsome and promising young man in the city, but in front of everyone, they just want to look like they don't care, lest they will be found out...

At that time, watching those girls scheming one by one, thinking about how to find a good marriage and be a young mistress in a good way, she always had a stiff smile on her face and distant eyes, let alone sitting with them for a long time chatted.She always waited until the banquet was over, and she was about to leave with an excuse.At that time, she was always concentrating on reading a few more books and practicing a few more characters, thinking that only by relying on the word "talent" could she find a real "confidant".

It was only later that I learned that talent is important, but what determines a woman's ultimate fate is whether she can give birth to a few children for her husband's family?Can you have a good relationship with your parents-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law and uncle, and your relatives, large and small?Can you win your husband's heart?Can you deal with the tricky servant?Only those are the important tasks of a woman's life.

Therefore, at the beginning of her rebirth, she had already thought about it. In this life, she must fit in with the group!You must be sensible!Be sure to learn to be a man with a smiling mask!Be sure to live like every normal woman!

And her current "good popularity" may prove that such a choice is right?

When all the guests arrived, Mrs. Fu announced the opening of the banquet, and plates of exquisite dishes were served.Fu Junya let go of the little disappointment in her heart, and was busy taking care of the guests at this table.Tea was served after the main meal, Fu Junya turned her head, and wherever she looked, there were several ladies at the next table whispering together.They said they were whispering, but in fact their voices were not low at all, as if they intended to be heard by all the girls at the three tables.

"Hey, have you heard? The third miss of the Han family has retired!"

"Han family? Which Han family?"

"Which Han family could it be? Of course it's the master Han's family in this city!"

"Yo! So it's their family! The third lady of their family seems to be the Xiao family in the north of the city, right? This marriage was settled early in the morning, and it was widely spread at that time! It's been several years!"

"It's because it was decided several years ago that there are variables now!"

"Oh? Is it because the man's family has declined in recent years, that's why..."

"Who says it's not! I've heard people say that if you only talk about character and talent, the two sons of the Xiao family are pretty good!"

"Then that means Master Han dislikes the poor and loves the rich?"

"Shh, is this kind of nonsense? Listen to it carefully, and tear your mouth apart!"

"Oh, I'm so scared, so scared, haha..."

The girls at that table were laughing in low voices, which had already attracted the attention of the wives.Although I don't know what they are talking about, but judging from the playful expressions on their faces, it must be not a good thing!Is this what girls from rich families should look like?There was a bit of embarrassment on the faces of the ladies.Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Yin saw it, so they asked Suyun to pass the message.

Suyun's smile is naturally good, "Girls, our old lady and eldest lady know that the girls must be a little bored after sitting for a while, and they have prepared novelty things. Please come Play in the garden."

This is the meaning of breaking them up, so that they don't get together and gossip behind their backs, which will have a bad influence if it spreads out!Besides, the girls also knew in their hearts that the wives dismissed them because they had "business" to discuss!
The dozen or so girls at the three tables stood up one after another, and the few who spoke just now laughed and said, "Sister, it's just in time! The scent of flowers here is too strong, and it smells so bad, we just want to get up and take a walk. I don't know the novelty in the house. What exactly is the thing, we should see it!"

"Good question, girls! The banquet set up by our old lady today is euphemistically called the 'Hundred Flowers Banquet'. As the name suggests, there must be a hundred different kinds of flowers to count. Daring servants, please girls Take a stroll in the garden, no matter what method you use, if you can find out the names of the hundred kinds of flowers, or the group that finds the most, you will be the winner of the "Hundred Flower Feast". Naturally, there is a mysterious and generous gift to celebrate." Suyun smiled and said.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and after the girls were stunned, they discussed it one after another.

"Oh, there are a hundred kinds, wouldn't it be exhausting to find?"

"You, you are really honest! Didn't you hear people say, no matter what method you use! There are so many flowers, of course we need girls to help find them together!"

"Well, there is an easier way, that is to ask the girls and cousins ​​of the Fu family directly, and you will know!"

"Well, this method is feasible, and it's not considered a violation, but isn't it unfair?"

In the face of everyone's objections, Suyun smiled calmly, "The girls are right, and our old lady has already considered this point. In fact, to be honest, these hundred kinds of flowers Hey, our eldest girl and four cousin girls may not be able to count! It is more interesting to ask them to follow along to find them, isn't it?"

Suyun explained with a good temper, and seemed to glance at Fu Junya inadvertently.How could Fu Junya not understand what she meant, and she stood up calmly, "Sister Suyun, I just want to have fun, but I got a cold the day before yesterday, and now I am dizzy from the sun, I want to Please ask my sister to help me talk to my grandmother, go back to the house to have a rest, and then come back, do you think?"

"This...then the girl's body is the most important thing! The servant girl will go and tell the old lady." Suyun made a gesture of comfort, but she still stood still.

The biggest competitors have already voluntarily withdrew from the competition, and the others are ready to accept it?So they all said: "Oh, it's a pity that sister Junya is not healthy and can't play with us." They also said: "As the so-called guests do as they please, since it is the old lady's kindness, we are naturally disrespectful, so let's go Let's take a stroll in the garden." After a few words of politeness to each other, it was really just you and me, and they went for a walk in the garden together.

It's just that Fu Junya knows that they don't have more than an hour to go shopping, how can they go there?It just so happened that she wanted to take advantage of this time of more than two hours to do a very important thing - to save people!
