Well chosen!

After washing, I put them on one by one, very elegant. The exquisite ones are just accessories. If you hang one or two pieces on your waist, they will be particularly eye-catching. On your head, there is no trace of gold or silver, only a large peony.

on the plate.

Where do the peonies come from this season?

Qingya laughed and said, "Since uncle's reputation as a hairpin came out, I don't know how many people have come to give gifts! These peonies were raised in someone else's flower house, and now at this time of year, a pot costs a thousand taels of silver. Uncle told me to take good care of it.

I just cut it off and styled your hair this morning."

Okay! Tongtong let the maid tie the peonies into her hair.

When he went out to see Link, Link looked him up and down and said, "My son is so beautiful that it would go well with lotus flowers! But as a father, he felt that if my son had a peony hairpin, he would be graceful. Looking at it now, it is indeed the case.

Go! Just go and have fun, I will be able to compete with all the girls today."

Well! Anyone who puts a thousand taels worth of flowers on their head for just one day will look graceful.

Tongtong didn't leave in a hurry. It was appropriate for her status to arrive late. Therefore, she walked slowly all the way. When she left the city, she saw the Fourth Master's carriage waiting by the roadside.

Tongtong lifted the car curtain and asked Fourth Master: "Want to come and sit?"

Don't sit down! You can't stretch even if you sit over it. You should follow behind.

So, they went to the other courtyard of Chengenhou Mansion one after another.

"King Yong has arrived——"

"Princess Yongkang has arrived——"

Everyone looked up and saw a pair of extremely graceful men and women approaching. The man was dressed in black robes, with a cold complexion and a handsome face. The woman had a gentle face, a beautiful appearance, elegant and calm.

The guests stood up one after another, or stopped socializing and bowed to greet him.

Fourth Master nodded: "No courtesy!"

The two men helped Chengenhou and Chengenhou's wife respectively.

Just when he was about to talk to Mrs. Chengenhou, Zhao Defeng called out: "Chu Heng, there are green chrysanthemums here, come and take a look."

Mrs. Chengenhou said hurriedly: "There are indeed some pots of good green chrysanthemums. Princess, go and have a look."

Tongtong looked at Fourth Master and pointed in that direction, then passed.

The green chrysanthemums are indeed blooming well. Not far away are rows of desks with pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and many girls are already drawing.

When Zhao Defeng saw Tongtong coming over, he whispered: "I guess you weren't too impatient to entertain the ladies, so I just called you over."

This is because he is afraid that because of the relationship between the Song family and the Chengen Marquis Mansion, these people will inevitably talk behind their backs when he is among women.

Tongtong sat on the stone bench next to him, holding his chin up as if he was bored, "I have nothing to do... You should be socializing seriously, why are you hiding here?"

Zhao Defeng chuckled lightly, "The people showing off at the banquet are nothing more than frivolous people who are eager for quick success. Why bother bothering them. Why not watch quietly like this... I want to find a calm and dignified son-in-law."

"

Such frankness made Tongtong feel that people have become more pragmatic after things have happened. She said, "There's no need to worry about it. Your paintings are very good. Why don't you paint a green chrysanthemum and give it to me."

You are good at instructing people! That's all, idle time is idle. Zhao Defeng was painting on the side, and Tongtong sat on the side and watched. Someone brought some tea, which was just a good time to kill.

Just as she was sitting, Qingya came over and whispered: "Princess, there is a girl named Wang, who is said to be the niece of Yiyun County Lord. She comes from the northwest. Her father is a foreign minister of the Ministry of Rites. She wants to come and invite you to the princess."

Goodbye."

Tongtong didn't even raise her head, only nodded, "Then please come and see me." Then she pointed to a place painted by Zhao Defeng, "Is the coloring here too dark?"

It's not that deep. You can look at it later.

When Wang Yirong was brought over, she saw the princess holding a chrysanthemum cake and a tea cup in one hand, but her eyes were fixed on the rice paper. She hurriedly said, "Wang Yirong would like to send my regards to the two princesses."

Zhao Defeng painted her picture without even raising his head.

Tongtong looked away from the painting and glanced at the other person. She was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. She smiled and said: "Qian'er also went to see the county boss, but he didn't hear her say that someone from the family came to the capital. Mr. Wang

When was he transferred to the household department? I don’t know, it’s really rude.”

Wang Yirong immediately blushed, "To tell you the princess, my father was transferred to the capital last spring... My aunt likes peace and quiet, so she rarely disturbs her."

"Yes! The county master is used to being quiet and doesn't like to go out." Tongtong asked, "Are you still used to it after you came to the capital?"

"The capital is so much more prosperous than the northwest. How could I not get used to it?" Wang Yirong said, and immediately said: "When I was in the northwest, I followed my mother to the Duke's Mansion to greet several young ladies.

.”

Yeah?

"Yes! These young ladies are all very compassionate..."

Compassion? The housewives of the Lin family are all capable of going to the battlefield. When it comes to mercy...then be compassionate.

Just when Tongtong was about to speak, she heard the roll call: "The third princess has arrived - the fourth princess has arrived - the fifth princess has arrived -"

Yes! Everyone is here to welcome the princess.

Wang Yirong's eyes lit up and he quickly looked towards the verandah. However, from the corner of his eye, he saw that the princess of the Zhao family had not moved. She was still painting when she should be painting. The princess of the Lin family was still eating in her mouth.

He didn't let go of the tea.

I heard the princess over there say: "Don't be too polite. I'm just here to have fun. Just be casual."

Then several princesses pointed this way at the master's house and then they all came this way.

Aren't you coming this way?

The fourth princess stayed beside Tongtong as soon as she arrived: "How can we have fun with so many people? We might as well find a few interesting ones, and then we can have fun!" Then she went to watch Zhao Defeng paint, "You too, there's nothing you can do about it.

Painting, why did you come here to paint?"

Zhao Defeng kept his hands on his hands and raised his chin towards Tongtong: "What Chu Heng wants, it's fine anyway, it's better than having to deal with boring people."

That’s true!

The third princess also said, "Is the coloring here too dark?"

Where is it too deep? Don't make trouble and ask me to finish painting properly.

The fifth princess turned to look at Wang Yirong: "Whose girl is this? She looks unfamiliar?" Then she asked Tongtong, "Do you know her?"

Tongtong smiled and looked at Wang Yirong: "Let's talk later, or should you stay here and play?"

Wang Yirong was stunned for a moment, then said: "I see how good Princess Zhao is in painting, why don't you serve her on the side?"

That's up to you.

Wang Yirong then ordered a girl who was following her: "Go around by yourself and don't run around blindly."

The other party didn't say anything, just blessed himself and turned around to leave.

Only then did Tongtong look at the girl behind her. She thought she was her maid, but from the tone of her voice, it turned out that she was not! Compared to Wang Yirong, this girl did not force her way into an inappropriate circle. On the contrary, she was

More measured.

Seeing that Tongtong noticed it, Wang Yirong said: "That's my cousin. It turned out that my aunt died less than a year after they got married. After a few years, my uncle had another marriage, and it turned out that my cousin had three wives.

At the age of ten, her biological mother also passed away. Five years ago, when my cousin was less than ten years old, my uncle died in the war. They didn’t have many relatives, and they actually had no other relatives except our family.

Then take her and raise her in the same place as me, and as long as she is with me, she will be with you."

Tongtong said: "His father died in the war. After he died in the war, wasn't there a place for the orphans? Which family would take him in and raise him, and he would be given twenty taels of silver a year. But one thing is that he was only taken in to raise him, and he was not allowed to make any decisions.

If you don't want to raise someone anymore, you can send them back at any time. There are kindergartens in the northwest, right?"

Wang Yirong said hurriedly: "What the princess said is true! It's just my grandmother's pity, and she did take good care of her." Tongtong said no more, and turned to share the chrysanthemum cake with the fifth princess, "Try it,

How does it compare with the taste in the palace?"

The fifth princess took a small bite and ate it, then asked the fourth princess, "Fourth sister, are you looking for Zuo Xiaoba?"

The fourth princess looked around, "Is Zuo Xiaoba here?"

The fifth princess pointed to the girl from the Zuo family not far away, "Zuo Xiaoba must be here."

The fourth princess ran away as expected, "I'll go find him and you can play by yourselves."

The fifth princess then whispered to Tongtong, "Where do you think I can find my consort?"

"Uncle Huang didn't say you have to marry, so why are you anxious? If you see someone you like, then you can marry her. If you haven't liked someone yet, who will force you to do it?"

Right!

While we were talking here, the master spoke and said that there were several treasures hidden in the courtyard, including a guqin from the pre-Qin period, a valuable pearl shirt, a jade flute from a famous player in the previous dynasty, and a flying swallow from the Han Dynasty.

A bronze mirror was used... There were as many as eight pieces of various treasures.

Whoever finds it will own it, and everyone is asked to just look for it.

This is a method that I came up with after seeing that the husband and girls were too embarrassed to interact with each other. This garden occupies a large area and is separated by various flowers and trees, pavilions and pavilions. The density of people will definitely not be high if people spread out.

Tongtong didn't want to delay the others. If she didn't leave, they would be too embarrassed to leave. She simply took out Zhao Defeng's pen and said, "Hurry up and search, maybe you will find... the one you are destined for! It's not too late to come back and draw again!"

"

Then he pushed the third princess, "Go quickly! I also want to find the guqin... Shiro has always wanted to find the guqin."
