Happy Marriage

An Sheng was stopped by the Xue family as soon as he left the door of Xia Mansion.

"An Sheng, don't go to the medicine house for the time being today."

"why?"

An Sheng paused at his feet, a little surprised.

"Yesterday, Miss Jinyue from the house of the Zuo Prime Minister of Lizhongshu Province sent an invitation card, saying that the three of you would be invited to their house to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Mother has already agreed. You don't want to go to the medicine today. I'll let Old Wangtou go over and inform Leng Shenyi. After you wash up, go directly with Ziwu and Zixian."

"Hundred Flowers Banquet?" An Sheng was a little surprised: "It's already mid-winter, and the Hundred Flowers are bleak. Where can I enjoy the flowers?"

Xia Ziwu had already dressed up, and she was dressed in jewels, and Huan Peijing walked over, with a scent that was very bright and beautiful.

When she heard An Sheng's words in her ears, she sneered softly and said sourly: "It's just that this girl should go out more and gain more knowledge, otherwise she will be laughed at if she goes out short-sighted. He has his own flower cellar, even in the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, the mansion is full of flowers. What's more, this Hundred Flowers Banquet is just a name, it is just a metaphor for people, implying that the people attending the banquet are all colorful in this city. Beautiful like flowers."

An Sheng didn't want to argue with her, so he didn't care about the contempt in her words: "We have never known that Miss Yue, why did she invite us to go with her?"

"Do you know if you walk around? Do you know that this time, Miss Yue has invited a lot of daughters and daughters, including almost all the nobles in Beijing. As long as you have the opportunity to meet and get to know them, you will be able to join this Beijing. The circle of noble ladies." Xia Ziwu said proudly.

"Oh, then I wish the third sister and the fourth sister have a good time, I won't go."

An Sheng turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the Xue family: "People have come here to invite you, if you don't go, wouldn't it be rude?"

An Sheng smiled slightly: "My daughter is ignorant and ignorant. It's too shabby to go, and I've lost the face of our Xia Mansion. Why don't you let the third sister and the fourth sister go with me and apologize to that Miss Yue on my behalf."

Xue still wanted to persuade An Sheng to bypass her and walk away without looking back.

Xue Shi was so angry that she gasped: "It's just against the sky. Look at how arrogant she is now! Even my words don't matter at all."

Xia Ziwu snorted coldly: "If she doesn't want to go, she won't go. She's been flamboyant enough recently. If she goes, where will Zi Xian and I be at the banquet? I'm afraid the limelight will be taken away. "

Xue's stern "bah": "I don't know whether it's good or bad, it's fine if you don't go, you and Zixian remember to make more friends when you go there, it will be beneficial to both of you."

After saying that, he looked at Xia Ziwu, picked on one or two things, and warned him again and again.

After breakfast, Xia Zixian and Xia Ziwu took the girl and got on the carriage.

When they arrived at the Zuo Prime Minister's mansion, they handed over the invitation, and the concierge glanced at the two, with a strange look on their faces: "You two are Miss Xia?"

Xia Ziwu and Xia Zixian looked at each other: "Yes."

The porter said "Oh", "Wait a minute, I'll call someone to take you two to see my lady."

After speaking, he turned his face and shouted to the inside: "Miss Xia is here."

As soon as the voice fell, the girl immediately heard the sound and said a thousand blessings to the two: "My young lady invited the two flower halls to have tea."

Xia Ziwu and Xia Zixian followed the little girl into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when they glanced around, they felt that the building was dazzling and resplendent. .

A group of people walked along the Chaoshou Veranda all the way, and went straight into the backyard.

Xia Ziwu couldn't help but sighed at Xia Zixian: "I'm afraid this front yard is worth the entire mansion of my family, I don't know how luxurious the room is."

Xia Zixian tugged at the corner of her clothes secretly: "Don't look around. If someone sees it in the house, you just think that you and I are short-sighted and have no knowledge at all."

Xia Ziwu didn't take it seriously: "It's a rare opportunity like this, if you don't have a good look at it, then it's really short-sighted. When I look back and talk to others, I only see the bluestone slab under my feet, and I don't even look up at the eaves of other people's houses. Just like being laughed at for your timidity."

Xia Zixian sighed lowly: "What's there to show off? Xia Ansheng is often in and out of Dingguohou's mansion. Let's talk about it, it's still a little short. Look, we came here full of joy. , people are disdainful."

Xia Ziwu snorted coldly: "If Miss Yue asks about her in a while, you and I will not show mercy to her, just say she is lofty and disdain for this kind of banquet."

Xia Zixian hesitated: "This is not good? After all, we are also a family."

Xia Ziwu snorted softly: "Nowadays, people in Beijing only know that the Xia family has a female name An Sheng. Who knows about you and me? If you don't suppress her limelight, I'm afraid you and I will always be trampled on by her."

The little girl who was walking in front turned around and smiled at the two of them: "Two young ladies, my lady's flower hall is here. You two please come in for tea first. My lady is still dressing up, so she will come over in a while."

Let the two of them enter the house, and the warmth in front of you, the fragrance is full of fragrance, and the eyes are full of purple and red, and the flowers are clustered.

Although it is already the winter season, the flowers outside the house are bleak and the cold is pressing, and the flower hall still seems to be in full bloom.

Chang Jing and Zhi Shu were left outside. The two took their seats. Someone served tea, and they quietly retreated.

The hall was silent.

Xia Ziwu reached out and touched the shiny root carving seat under him, then glanced at the rattan hanging flower hammock next to him, picked up the white jade tea cup at hand, and took a sip of tea, only to feel the fragrance of tea lingering between his lips and teeth, and a very light scent permeated. sweet fragrance of flowers.

"This powerful and powerful family is not ordinary. When I went to the uncle's mansion, I saw that Xia Anzheng's food and clothing expenses were higher than ours, and I already felt envious. Now, in comparison, I feel that it is nothing. Even a recreational flower hall is so ingenious, although I can't see how precious it is, it is certainly not cheap."

Xia Zixian also liked these elegant things very much. She looked around and yearned for it: "The orchids here are all rare and precious species. I claim to love flowers, but I have never heard of it. If there is such a good place to go. , to play the qin and read it is the real good place."

Xia Ziwu simply stood up, looked around, exclaimed one after another: "This flowerpot is not pebbles, but red agate, which is too extravagant. And this flowerpot is not ordinary ceramics, but Carved from white jade."

Xia Zixian frowned slightly: "Don't make a fuss, sit down peacefully. If Miss Yue comes over and sees you being so rude, I'm afraid I'll be unhappy."

Xia Ziwu said nonchalantly, "This flower hall was originally for people to enjoy. Isn't her Miss Yue arranged for us here just to show off?"

Xia Zixian also felt that her eyes were suddenly not enough. She looked at this, looked at that, dizzying.

Xia Ziwu exclaimed again, raising her voice: "This is the first time I've seen such a tall coral."

Xia Zixian also followed the prestige, and saw a pot of coral trees as tall as one person in the corner of the flower hall, and suddenly looked at it, the first feeling was amazing.

This coral is a rare peach pink color, with many night pearls of different sizes inlaid on it. The clear halo makes the color of the coral more pink and tender. You can't see the gaudy beauty of the jewels. It just feels warm and moist, as if reserved and reserved A Pingting girl full of poetry and books.

At this sight, she immediately couldn't put it down, and there was a feeling of sympathy for each other.

Xia Ziwu, who had already stood in front of the coral, had no such idea in his heart.

The night pearl on the coral tree directly burned her eyes!

The Xia family is just an ordinary small family, and she grew up in the market since she was a child. How has she ever seen such an extravagant life?

The existence of everything here made her jealous, and it also boiled her yearning and desire for power even more.

If you can find such a powerful and powerful husband-in-law, whoever is in love, who is the right family, go to hell! Even if she made herself a concubine, she was willing.

Surrounded by servants, brocade clothes and jade food, with the dazzling eyes of Quanmen on his body, it makes people look up, and when I think about it, my blood boils.

She couldn't help being greedy.

Such a big coral tree is full of so many night pearls, and there are countless, even if there are a few fewer, no one will notice it!

With this thought, it became unstoppable and gradually expanded in her heart.

And her hand, too, reached out to the hidden corner behind the coral tree.

There is a night pearl that is bigger than a pigeon's egg, and one can be worth thousands of gold.

Reach out and touch it, the tentacles are warm and warm. With his fingertips, the bead easily fell into Xia Ziwu's palm, and then slipped quietly into the cuff.

She stared at another pale green bead again and reached out to pick it.

"Ah! Be careful!"

Xia Zixian exclaimed, with horror, she was startled, and she retracted her hand in panic.

At this moment, she felt her ankle tighten suddenly, as if she was being restrained by something, and then a huge drag force dragged her back staggeringly.

She lowered her head, only then did she understand why Xia Zixian was so frightened.

Because, what bound her ankle was not a rope, but a vine. The green vine, like a swimming snake, dragged her feet and swam backwards.

She turned pale with fright, and hurriedly bent down and pulled. As soon as her hand touched the vine, she stretched out another vine from nowhere, winding it around her wrist.

This made her even more horrified. How could the vines move, and they could bind people's hands and feet like they had eyes?

Heck!

She was so terrified that she couldn't make a sound in her throat, and was quickly pulled over by the powerful vine, falling to the ground and dragging it to one side.

For a while, the hairpin rings were scattered, and the temples were crooked.
