Chang'an is good

Chapter 39 Too Beautiful To Be Reasonable (Part [-])
On the carriage to Zheng Guogong's mansion, Xi'er couldn't help but look at the new envoy next to her.

This female envoy named Ah Zhi was temporarily arranged by the general. She looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, but it was said that she had some skills. Being by the girl's side would not arouse suspicion, but also protect her.

Xi'er was very apprehensive about this, struggling a lot in her heart.

Chang Suining took advantage of this time to look through the list of flower fairs in his hand. This was secretly collected by Chang Kuo, and all of them were people who had received invitations to the flower fair.

Some are people she recognizes, some are upstarts, and when she meets someone worth knowing, she will ask a casual question.

Every time, Xi'er would eagerly answer the questions, and at the end, when she saw her girl's name on the line, she would immediately say: "...this servant knows too!"

It made Chang Suining experience the joy of ordering where he doesn't know.

During such a question and answer, Zheng Guogong's mansion soon arrived.

The flower viewing banquet was held in the garden of Zheng Guogong's mansion.

Zheng Guogong Wei Qin likes the beauty of flowers like brocades, so he loves flowers and plants especially. There are rumors in Beijing that Zheng Guogong's mansion covers an area of ​​23 mu, one of four rooms, and the rest are flowers and plants. Others say that there is a garden in the mansion, and he is in the garden. A mansion was built here.

And in this huge garden, various exotic flowers and plants can be seen everywhere. Although it is only early spring, it is already full of colorful flowers and reds.

"Why did this pot of red stones come out? If it bumps into it, the Duke will make a fuss!" In Wei's home, a servant looked at the rare pot that was the only one in the entire capital, and was terrified.

"It was Madam who asked me to move it... Madam said that it is in full bloom, if you don't show it for others to see, it really blooms in vain. There is no face for flowers that no one sees."

"Does the Duke know about this?"

"The Duke went out early in the morning, and locked the gate of the courtyard before leaving. Madam ordered us to climb over the wall and move them out secretly..."

"Understood..." A group of servants looked at those hard-to-find flowers and plants, and became more and more frightened. Seeing those ladies, big and small, come up to admire them, they were afraid that someone would grab one of them inappropriately—if they were picked, When the Duke comes back, it's time to grab their heads!
Today, all those who come to the garden to work as errands, the wife has paid extra wages - because of this, it becomes more and more obvious that it is indeed a errand that licks blood on the tip of a knife.

While all the servants of the Wei family were working hard, all the female guests looked at the same place for a moment.

At the same time, the conversation became louder.

A servant followed and saw that the place where everyone's eyes gathered was a young girl who had just appeared in the garden and was walking towards this place.

The spring is brilliant, and that girl is also at the age of Lan Man, but her face is more eye-catching than the spring in the garden, just like the red stone peony that just bloomed, clean and delicate.

But those brows and eyes look a bit cold, and add a bit of indistinct heroic beauty that doesn't seem to belong to that face. It's mixed together, which makes her beautiful and even domineering. People dare not look directly at it, but they cannot ignore it.

Where little girls gather, it is inevitable to compare dresses and jewelry, but at this moment, everyone seems to be unable to see clearly or care about each other's attire.

"Who is that, why have I never seen it before..."

"Is it the family members of officials who just moved to the capital?"

"Sister Wei should know who it is?" A purple-clothed girl surrounded by little girls asked in a low voice.

The purple-clothed girl is Wei Miaoqing, Zheng Guogong's first daughter.

The girl with the word "exquisite" written on it from head to toe barely looked away from that face, feeling a sudden crisis in her heart, and whispered to the woman beside her, "... Manager Fang, within half an hour, I want to know about this person All the details!"

The mother-in-law responded positively, turned back within half an hour, and replied in a low voice: "Girl, I have found out clearly that she is a young lady from General Chang's residence in Xingningfang. Poetry, timid and weak, not good at communicating with others, there is only one elder brother in the family, and he likes to wear light colors on weekdays..."

"Chang Suining?!" Wei Miaoqing abruptly interrupted the mother-in-law, and said in shock, "She is Chang Suining?!"

Chang Suining, who was known as the number one beauty just because she went out last year to get some incense?

I think she has heard her father often say in her ears since she was a child that her mother Zheng Guogong's wife, Mrs. Duan, is the most beautiful woman in the capital, and she has followed her mother's appearance. The one who took over this title from her mother——

So full of anticipation until the age of 15 years old, and only waiting for the ceremony to be famous in the capital, who knows that at this critical moment, a Chang Sui Ning is suddenly born out of nowhere!

So how can she be willing?

Fortunately, her mother told her that it was all rumored by outsiders, and there was no basis for it at all.

That's right, it's nothing more than scaremongering, just to coax those who have never seen it.

However at this time...

Wei Miaoqing's eyes were so red that they were about to bleed, she said it was jealousy, more like feeling strange and puzzled——

"Boss Fang, have you seen it? How could someone... How could someone..." Wei Miaoqing took a few steps aside, then looked at the girl's side face carefully, and almost fell down angrily: "...how could there be someone..." Some people look so unreasonable!"

It's also human, isn't that outrageous!

It really makes no sense!

I just want to ask, Empress Nuwa, do you have a good conscience?
The woman in charge glanced at the little ladies around her, and hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Girl, think twice before speaking..."

The veil in Wei Miaoqing's hand was about to be torn: "I've thought twice and thought twice!"

At this moment, the girl who was stared at by her turned her head slightly, looked at her, and even took a few steps towards her.

Wei Miaoqing immediately adjusted her demeanor, trying to show the proper posture of the master.

Looking at the little girl who was trying to look dignified, Chang Suining smiled slightly.

It was the first time she saw this little girl, but this face was exactly the same as Duan Zhenyi's when she was young, so it was not difficult to guess her identity.

Seeing Chang Sui Ning smiling at herself, Wei Miaoqing froze for a moment, then nodded slightly, and responded with a decent smile: "The first time the lady of the Chang family is back, please walk around as you please, don't be restrained."

Looking at the pretty and proud peacock-like little girl in the crowd, Chang Suining felt that she was innocent and cute, and subconsciously tilted her head and smiled, "Thank you very much."

Wei Miaoqing felt a flash in front of her eyes: "...!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity of her friend talking to her, she turned around and stopped looking at that unreasonable face, and murmured in her heart—this doesn't look like a timid and unsociable look. ...Damn it, this is where the co-authorship rumors are so unbelievable!
"Look, here comes the Cui family." A girl whispered.

Due to their status, the Cui family is always eye-catching wherever they appear.

Cui Tang walked over with several cousins ​​and the wife of Cui's second wife.

Cui Langzi also came, but even though it was a flower fair, it was just for fun, but he still had to pay attention to some etiquette between men and women.

You can see at a glance in the garden, men are on the right, women are mostly on the left, separated by a small winding bridge or the scenery of bamboo and stone, you don't need to be reminded where to go when you enter the garden, it's all a tacit understanding in your eyes.

And because the scene in the middle does not block the view very much, this flower fair has always been a good occasion for the wives of various prefectures and their juniors to watch each other quietly.

After many years of doing it back and forth, it has also achieved many good marriages.

Mentioning this, Mrs. Zheng Guogong's wife, Mrs. Duan, will inevitably grind her teeth - of course others have achieved a lot, but her own one sings the opposite!

But recently, the Duan family has seldom smelled an unusual aura from his own son.

And this is mainly due to the servant who returned from Hezhou, followed by Chang Ji——

　Come here, here comes the two cents!
