Although the Marquis felt uncomfortable, he still said to the eldest lady: "Dragon Boat Festival is crowded with people, so be careful!"

"Don't worry, I asked my father to send me some guards a long time ago. They are all top-notch guards!" the eldest lady said.

The Marquis nodded. After staying for a while, he packed up his things and was about to leave in the carriage. However, looking at the dozens of guards, all of whom were young and strong, I have to say that he felt a little uncomfortable.

.

"These guards are too young!" the Marquis said softly.

The housekeeper said disapprovingly: "According to the wishes of the eldest lady, from now on these guards will belong to the Hou Mansion and will be responsible for the safety of the madam and several young ladies!"

"What..." The young and strong guard, I don't know why, I felt more and more uncomfortable, shook his head, put the thoughts out of his mind, sat in the carriage, but never said leave, just like this quietly

Sit quietly.

"Mom, I heard that this dragon boat race is very lively, and there are even members of the scholar family participating. Is it true?" Linlang asked curiously.

"Well, each dragon boat represents a family or a clan. I heard that the emperor will also be present for this dragon boat race, and the winner will be rewarded. You will be in luck then!" The eldest lady said gently!

said.

Yuyan stood aside and didn't speak. She glanced at Linlang before she took two steps, and she fell silent for a long time.

"By the way, when you go out later, put on your felt hat!" the eldest lady instructed.

"Okay!" Linlang agreed without hesitation.

Yuyan looked at the felt hats that only belonged to herself and Linlang, and remained silent. After a long time, she put the hats on.

Several little girls were sitting on the carriage, chirping, and the guards followed behind, protecting them as they went to the restaurant.

After a long time, Mr. Hou came back to his senses and said to the housekeeper: "How is the eldest lady doing during this period?"

The housekeeper answered honestly: "Since Miss Linlang came back, Madam has become a lot more cheerful. She often takes the two young ladies out to play, and she has also made a lot of handkerchief friends!"

The Marquis nodded, "Madam and young lady are both female-born, you should pay more attention to protect their safety when the time comes!"

"Master Marquis, don't worry about this. Madam not only selected several guards from Yang Jia, but also selected several bodyguards from the palace. All of them are young and strong masters. They can definitely protect the safety of Madam and Miss.

!" the butler said, patting his chest.

"Yes!" Mr. Hou nodded absently and left in the carriage.

Here, after watching the lively dragon boat race, the group did not rush you to go, but sat in a small cage, tasting food and wine, and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

"Oh, this is such a good life, I wouldn't exchange it for a thousand dollars!" The third girl shook her head and said happily.

"You are a little girl, do you know what a good life is?" the second lady said with a smile.

"I don't know what a good day is, but I feel very happy today, and... I think auntie is also different from usual..." the third girl said cautiously.

When the eldest lady heard this, she turned around and smiled, "What do you think is different about me?"

"Anyway, it's just different. I feel like the eldest lady is much prettier than before!" the third lady said sweetly.

"You little liar, your little mouth is quite sweet!" the second girl said coquettishly.

"I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth!" The third girl raised her head and said with her chest out.

"Okay, okay, stop talking about this, listen to the song that the boat girl sings, it's really nice!" Linlang pointed at the boat girl who was picking lotus and said with a smile.

"What does this mean? If you like to listen to small songs, I will take you to Lihua Garden to listen to music in a while. The music there is one of the best!" the eldest lady said with a smile.

Seeing their family enjoying themselves, Yuyan felt sour in her heart as she kept drinking with her head down.

"Little girl, why are you drinking so much wine? Come and play with them!" The eldest lady noticed Yuyan's abnormality and thought it was her first time out. She was a little scared, so she smiled and took away the wine bottle.

suggested.

Yuyan naturally didn't want to play with the three of them, but most people said so, and he couldn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed with a smile, and sat with the three girls with a hypocritical face.

"What are you doing here?" The third lady said angrily, as if she had been lit by firecrackers.

"Okay, why are you talking about this? We are all sisters, and it is fate that we can play together!" the second lady said in a hint.

"But I feel so awkward having her here!" Miss Third muttered.

"What are you talking about? Look at those lanterns. They are so beautiful. Can we also put out the lanterns at night?" Linlang pointed at the lotus lanterns in the water and said with a smile.

"Okay, okay!" The third lady clapped her hands and agreed happily.

In the evening, the three girls, led by the guards, bought a lot of river lanterns. They all put their wishes on the river lanterns and floated down the water, praying to the river god to receive their wishes.

By the time we got home, it was already late at night. After washing, the girls all lay in bed and didn't wake up until noon the next day.

"Miss, the maid next to the eldest lady just came here. She said that when the lady wakes up, please move to the eldest lady's yard!" Xiao Qing walked over and said respectfully.

"Oh, I understand. You ask someone to prepare a bowl of white porridge. I'll go there after eating!" Because she played late yesterday, Linlang didn't have much appetite. She only wanted a bowl of white porridge and a few side dishes. After eating

, he took the maid and the mother-in-law to the eldest lady’s yard.

How should I put it? The eldest lady’s courtyard must be the best in the Hou Mansion, and it is exquisite everywhere, but I don’t know why, but it always feels a little deserted.

Linlang looked at the flowers and plants in the corner and said, "Why are there so many flowers and plants?"

"When Madam has nothing to do, she likes to plant flowers and plants, so I have more!" Mammy replied respectfully.

When Linlang heard this, she nodded, "But I have to ask a professional gardener, because some flowers and plants are most likely to attract snakes, insects, rats, and ants!"

"Ah?" This was the first time that grandma knew this. She was very surprised, but she lowered her head and said, "I will tell the servants to take care of it later!"

Linlang stepped into the house and found that there were many people inside. She looked at the eldest lady in surprise.

The eldest lady smiled and said, "It's been a while since you've been in the mansion. It's time to prepare your jewelry and clothes!"
