Twin Brocade

Chapter 223 Sincerity
Snow-capped, covered with pavilions, rockeries and trees.Looking around, it is covered in silver, a crystal clear world of ice and snow.

In such a white world, carefully dressed women are the most beautiful scenery.They walked gracefully among them, only to hear the tinkling of their rings, the scent of fragrance, and their soft voices.

In the previous life, I heard that Meiying Hall has a very beautiful scenery, and it is also a royal garden, where princes and princesses often play.It's a pity that at that time, she worked so hard for her family and her children, she worked hard all her life, and she never saw the beauty of Plum Shadow Hall until she died.

Fang Jinshu secretly sighed in his heart and remained silent.

"Sister, the plum grove in the back is very beautiful, there are several hundred-year-old red plum trees." Fang Jinhui had followed his father here before, so he introduced it with a smile, and said, "Let's go and have a look later."

Fang Jinshu responded with a smile, glanced at Fang Jinpei, and invited, "Sister Pei, too." In Meiyingtang, she couldn't let Fang Jinpei wander around.

"Okay, I was thinking about it, but I was worried that I couldn't find the way." Fang Jinpei agreed flatly, smiling as if she really came to enjoy the scenery and open her eyes.

The maid in palace attire led the crowd to a warm pavilion, where all the family members of fourth-rank Beijing officials sat.The husbands are of the same rank, and the wives are all acquainted.Mrs. Fang sat down and greeted everyone, and soon they chatted about children.

The wife of Qin Changhong, Minister of the Household Department, looked at Mrs. Fang and said with a smile, "You arrived just right, and there is just one person missing for playing the leaf card." Qin Changhong's younger sister married Si Yuanming, and there are such in-laws The relationship is that the two families will be more intimate than ordinary people when they see each other.

"That's good." Mrs. Fang smiled and said to Si Lansheng, "You don't have to worry about me, as long as you have a girl to take care of you."

Si Lansheng pretended to be wronged and said: "It can be seen that the old lady despises me. But I made up my mind today, even if I despise you, I will stay by your side and listen to your teachings."

When the daughter-in-law gave her face like this, Mrs. Fang smiled happily and said, "Okay, okay! If you want to rely on it, you can rely on it. Let the girls go and play, and being here with us old women is nothing."

Old Mrs. Qin gave a "tsk tsk" twice, and said, "I know your daughter-in-law is filial, and she shows off in front of us."

Everyone chatted and joked, and the servants came up with leaf cards, and the old ladies took their seats.Si Lansheng sat next to Mrs. Fang, looked at the cards for her, told the daughters, "Be careful when you go out, and avoid people.", and let them play by themselves.

For wives and wives, this snow appreciation event is not only a good time to see each other, but also to see their marriage.Girls can go to the plum grove in the back mountain, and so can young masters.

Under the red plum tree, several couples had a good relationship, which became a good story for a while.But there are also people with ulterior motives who try to take this opportunity to climb high branches, so we have to guard against them.

There were many people in the room, but there were not many girls, so they probably couldn't bear to go out to play.

Fang Jinhui smiled and said, "Let's go too, don't disturb grandma's cleanliness."

"That's right." Fang Jinshu pursed his lips into a smile, said goodbye to Mrs. Fang and Si Lansheng together, and prepared to go out.

Fang Jinpei glanced at Song Liyun, who was still in the room, and said to her with a smile, "Sister Song, why don't you come with us?"

Song Liyun came over to meet Li, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect to meet Sister Pei. I was feeling bored, so we happened to be together."

In Xiuwenfang Academy, she was originally on good terms with Tang Yuanyao.But since Tang Yuanyao offended Princess Duancheng when she was re-elected in the Guozijian the year before last, she gradually distanced herself from Tang Yuanyao and got closer to Fang Jinpei instead.

Hearing what she said, Fang Jinpei's expression was a little unnatural.She knew very well that she was not qualified to come here, so why didn't she have a good father?What Song Liyun said was tantamount to exposing her scars, which made her feel a little uneasy.

However, thinking of today's purpose, Fang Jinpei suppressed his unhappiness, and explained: "I wanted to open my eyes, so I asked my grandmother to intercede. I have been fascinated by the red plums in Meiyingtang for a long time, and I have no regrets if I can just look at them." gone."

She looked a little lonely, Song Liyun quickly apologized: "It's because I said something wrong. What did my sister say, with your appearance, you will definitely be a regular visitor of this Plum Shadow Hall in the future."

She was saying that Fang Jinpei could marry into a good husband's family.These words touched Fang Jinpei's heart, he smiled happily, took her hand and said, "Let's go, go and see Hongmei."

Seeing that Fang Jinpei invited Song Liyun, Fang Jinhui couldn't say anything. He glanced at Fang Jinpei's embroidered satin shoes and said, "There is still some distance to go here. It's best to change your boots first. If your feet are soaked in snow, you may catch a cold." .”

Song Liyun also followed her gaze, said "Yeah", and said, "Oh, sister Pei, why are you wearing soft-soled shoes?"

If it is an ordinary banquet, there is no problem in wearing embroidered shoes, but when you come to Plum Shadow Hall, you naturally want to enjoy plum blossoms.Walking along this road, although the road surface has been cleaned in advance, it is impossible not to be covered with snow.When the snow turns into water on the shoes, it is equivalent to wearing a pair of wet embroidered shoes.If the soles of the feet catch a cold, you must be sick.

Except for Fang Jinpei, everyone else is wearing different styles of boots, which are convenient for walking on mountain roads.

Fang Jinpei's face turned reddish, and he said in a low voice, "I... I don't know."

As the eldest sister, Fang Jinhui couldn't abandon her.Let the maid find another room, and they sat down, then ordered Qiaoqin to get her spare boots from the carriage, and said: "Then let's sit down first. I brought an extra pair of boots for you later Put it on."

"Thank you big sister." A trace of guilt flashed across Fang Jinpei's face, and he clenched his fists again in an instant, and the look in his eyes became more determined.

Fang Jinshu watched all this silently, and believed in his own deduction more and more: Fang Jinpei's purpose was by no means as simple as she said.If you don't keep an eye on her, you're afraid that she will show some demon moths.

According to the rules of Wenhui, everyone only brings one servant.Fang Jinshu whispered to Fang Fei who was waiting on her, "Pay attention to the third girl, and tell me if there is anything wrong."

Although Fang Fei didn't understand what she meant, she still responded softly.

The furnishing of this wing room is simple yet elegant, and it is warm with burning earth dragons.Girls walked by together outside the window, the maid served them a few cups of tea and pastries, lit the censer in the corner, and retreated.

Fang Jinpei took off the cloak on her body, handed it to the maid who followed her, and said embarrassingly, "It's all my fault for the delay."

Song Liyun smiled and said: "You didn't know it when you came back. How can you blame you? It's the time when there are many people going to Meilin. When they all come back, we will go to clean."

Fang Jinhui also comforted with a smile: "My sister, don't take this little matter to heart."

She blushed and thanked her with sincerity.
