As a result of the indulgence and pampering of the uncle's family, Miss Shen Er developed a noble and unpleasant temperament. It was difficult to arrange a marriage. At this time, the aunt said, since the girl is kissing her uncle, let her uncle help arrange the marriage. The wife's dowry is also at her uncle's house.

A money-grubbing uncle could help him find a good match, but in the end, Miss Shen was tricked into marrying a sickly man with a glamorous appearance, and she couldn't tell her the pain.

Only then did Miss Shen Er realize that it was already too late. Her aunt had already established a foothold in the Shen family. She had a son and a daughter, and there were two concubines behind her. She had no feelings for the stepdaughter who had no feelings for her, and she still took care of her own children. If you don't come here, how can you have the time to care about her? Besides, Miss Shen Er's temperament is used to being casual at home. She suddenly wants to marry into another family, with mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, and sisters-in-law in the next room. She is noisy. If she doesn't live well, it is her aunt's fault. When the time comes, my aunt will step in again, so she won't do such a thankless thing.

In the end, it was too late. It was Shilang Shen who felt that the girl's reputation would be affected if she didn't get married, so he chose a mediocre son of a colleague. As a result, before they were officially engaged, the war broke out and his colleague was on the wrong team. Seeing that he was about to be implicated, Shilang Shen wanted to I regretted it, but I was afraid that others would tell me, and besides, it was just a rumor that something might not really happen, so I put it off.

After going back and forth for two years, the marriage was canceled after the colleague was really liquidated. As a result, Miss Shen Er became an old girl and her temper became even weirder. According to my aunt, marrying off would definitely offend others and make enemies. Anyway, she didn't go out to talk about marriage. Yes, if the man is good, he will cheat others; if the man is bad, if he cheats on the girl, others will blame the stepmother.

Mr. Shen recently decided that since the girl is a little older, she might as well get married to fill in the house for a second wife. The aunt doesn't care, but Miss Shen Er is afraid, but her uncle's family is unreliable and her parents don't care. What can she do as a girl?

Forced into a desperate situation, Miss Shen Er had a rare moment of cleverness. That day she went to her aunt's house for a visit. When she mentioned Miss Su Jiu by chance, Miss Shen Er on the side said that she and Su Jiu were good friends. They used to go to banquets. Play together.

She was a little dubious, considering that Miss Su Jiu's reputation was really bad back then, and no one cared about her. If Miss Shen Er was willing to pay attention to her at that time, it would be possible.

The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion is now very hot, but their family has been silent for many years and has no contact with the outside world. Now that they suddenly get up, they can't find a way to send gifts, so the Princess Mansion plans to start with General Zhao's future wife, Miss Su Jiu.

After all, General Zhao requested such an imperial edict. From now on, Miss Su Jiu will be his only wife, and pillow wind is sometimes more powerful than any sword, gun, sword or stick.

With the mentality of giving it a try, she invited Miss Shen Er to attend the flower viewing banquet because she had some disagreements with Su Yihua before, and she was not as able as her sister-in-law Fan to put aside her body and try to win over her and help Su Yihua say a few words in front of her mother-in-law. If she wanted to change the status quo, in order to prevent Su Yihua from running against her with the Fan family after she turned over, she wanted to start from other aspects. She knew about the turmoil among the people in the Yuanping residence. If she could get over Su Yihua and become friends with Su Yiqing, then. It's stronger than anything else.

She never thought that Miss Shen Er would dare to lie. If Miss Shen Er had such courage, she would not be in such a situation now.

But she still thought a little differently. Back then, the number of times Miss Shen Er went out was limited, and the number of times she had to meet Miss Su Jiu was even less. At most, it was only three or four times, and even if she met a few times at the girl's house, No matter how much you talk, it will make you more familiar with it. It has been a few years, and if you are more forgetful, you may have forgotten it long ago.

Thinking of this, Ms. Sun felt vaguely that she had been deceived. She didn't take care of so many considerate girls from her mother's family, but she took Miss Shen Er with her just to gain some advantages over others. As a result, it was really hard to steal the chicken. When she saw a group of people walking forward, Miss Shen Er was a little slow, so she fell a few steps behind and lowered her voice and said to Miss Shen Er: "Why are you so dazed? This is an opportunity, regardless of your previous friendship with Miss Su Jiu Deep or shallow, you should be thick-skinned at this moment. You don't want to be used as a house filler or married to anyone casually. This is your last chance."

Miss Shen Er had a somewhat panicked expression on her face, but she still couldn't let go and chased after her.

Mrs. Sun was secretly disappointed, it seemed that it was not going to work, so she decided to think of another way.

Along the way, Miss Fan Wu was chattering very lively, not only to Su Yiqing, but also to other girls. She didn't ignore any of them. Such girls can easily win people's favor. Miss Li Si didn't talk much, but she always said: In terms of ideas, it is very eye-catching...

A group of girls strolled slowly in the garden, chatting as they walked, and came to a lotus pond. The lotus flowers in the pond were in full bloom. There were several green willow trees beside the pond, and birds flew by from time to time. The group couldn't help but stop and admire them. When He and Sun saw Su Yiqing's very interested expression, they suggested that they set up a few small tables with a few plates of snacks under the green willows beside the pond to enjoy tea and flowers together.

This suggestion was approved by everyone. Miss Shen Er, who had been ignored for a long time, took the opportunity to say: "Let's hold another poetry meeting and write poems together?"

Su Yiqing's face was very calm and she did not speak. She did not agree, and the other girls also fell silent.

Mrs. Sun couldn't help but glared at Miss Shen Er again. She either asked Su Yihua or inquired by herself before, and knew that Miss Su Jiu was not good at writing poems and paintings. It is virtue for a woman to have no talent. There is nothing wrong with this, but some people He just likes to show off a few acid poems, just like those poor scholars.

Originally, the girls got together. If they were interested, it would be nice to have some fun together. Flower viewing is an elegant thing, but it also depends on the occasion to see what everyone likes. This time, Miss Su Jiu took the lead in the flower viewing. This is why they only invite one or two girls to each family. There are too many people talking. This is to avoid one or two people who are ignorant and say wrong things and offend the nobles, thereby angering the host family.

Since Miss Shen Er keeps saying that she knows Miss Su Jiu, she should at least know whether she likes to compose poetry, right? What's the point of mentioning that she is good at showing off when others are not?

Su Yiqing didn't say anything. Miss Fan Wu had obviously done some homework beforehand and immediately said with a smile: "It's so difficult to write a poem when I come out once in a while. Sisters, don't laugh at me. I'm most afraid of making mistakes in my writing. Sister Shen, just do it." Please let me stop writing poetry,"

Miss Fan Wu started the conversation, and the clever Su Yixian and others quickly agreed.

For a while, everyone said that it would be good to just enjoy the flowers, try the snacks, and then drink the tea. Miss Li Si pretended to be greedy and said that the snacks in the princess's mansion were all secret recipes from the palace, and she had been greedy for a long time. She said coquettishly: "I like to eat the lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake from the princess's mansion the most. Although I asked the cook to come to the princess's mansion to learn it several times, she can never make it taste like that. My mother doesn't like me to eat too much sweet food. Sister-in-law, please let me eat a few more pieces later."

Mrs. Sun tapped Miss Li Si's forehead with her hand, "You are greedy and you are not shy. Be careful, the more you eat, the fatter you will get."

Miss Li Si interrupted like this, and the atmosphere became cheerful. Talking about food was always a very safe topic. We are all ladies from the same family. Who doesn't have a few private dishes? No matter how stupid you are, you can find some topics to talk about. explain.

Needless to say, the Xianya sisters are very clever. Even Su Yixi, who has always been a bit dull, also found the opportunity to interject and said that she likes to eat osmanthus cake the most, but the uncle usually likes to make sesame osmanthus cake or peanut osmanthus cake. The sesame cake is crispy, while the peanuts are sweet. A little bit, I haven’t tried lotus root starch before. I don’t know what its characteristics are?

Miss Li Si introduced it enthusiastically.

A group of girls said something to each other. Su Yiqing also said that she likes to eat sweets containing osmanthus, whether it is lotus root starch or sesame seeds, each has its own merits.

Miss Shen Er was very embarrassed and couldn't get a word in. She always felt that it was indecent for the girl to just talk and eat.

There were so many people, but she didn't say anything, and she didn't show much for a while. No one paid much attention to her, because everyone was rushing to talk to Su Yiqing.

The pastries arrived quickly, along with a pot of freshly brewed Longjing tea and a few fresh slices of green tea. As we enjoyed the flowers, drank tea and snacks, everyone had a smile of joy on their faces.

Su Yiqing also thinks that such a gathering is quite good. Even if there is an ulterior motive, it is not obvious and no one has made specific requirements. This is how normal interpersonal relationships are, and you can't ask for too much.

After tasting the dim sum for a while, after all, we are ladies, and no one can eat in other people's homes. Even Miss Li Si, who just said she wanted to eat more pieces of lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake, only ate two pieces. So, The sugar cake is about the size of dried tofu.

After tasting the snacks, Mrs. Sun proposed to go on a lake cruise. There were several small boats in Princess Mansion, each of which could seat two or three people. Boating on the lake was a unique experience.

Su Yiqing also liked it before.

When the boat girl brought the boat over, how to distribute it became a problem. Miss Li Si said first: "Sister Su, let's go together? It's fun to row a boat together to pick fresh lotus seeds."

Miss Fan Wu was one step behind, not to be outdone and said: "Sister Su, I want to come with you too."

As a result, it was hard for others to say anything, but when the boat came over, they discovered a problem.

Now there are seven girls, three wives, and ten people. There are three boats. There are two boat girls on each boat. In addition to the boat girls, each boat has three positions. One person must be left on the shore. , who should be left behind?

Mrs. Sun rolled her eyes and said, "Sister Shen is weak. Please stay on the shore to avoid the boat shaking and making you dizzy."

Miss Shen Er lowered her head and said nothing, but her eyes were a little aggrieved.

Fan and Su Yihua looked at each other, both secretly disdainful. This Sun was just good at causing trouble and leaving her sisters behind. On the surface, she was looking out for the overall situation. In fact, everyone could tell that it was Miss Shen Er herself. If she's not clever, she won't get any favors anyway, and she can easily offend others if she's not careful, so I might as well just leave her alone. Anyway, she has no one to stand up for when she's wronged.

But this is Sun's own business, and others are too lazy to take care of it. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
