Min Yujia sat next to her mother and looked at the Zuo brothers and sisters huddled together.

"Now that you're out, just have fun and play. You are like Xiang Ning's biological sister, like her brother, like your own family. You don't need to be so restrained." Mrs. Min said to her daughter warmly.

Mrs. Min felt very sorry for her only daughter.

Back then, Mrs. Min was dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law Mrs. Min because Mr. Min refused to take concubines, so she took the young Min Yujia back to her hometown, leaving mother and daughter separated for so many years...

Min Yujia smiled and whispered: "Does mother know which girl Mrs. Zuo will invite tomorrow?"

"I don't know," Mrs. Min said, "They should all be familiar to each other."

"Xiang Ning said that Mrs. Zuo wanted to choose a daughter-in-law." Min Yujia blinked and said with a smile, "Xiang Ning asked me to help choose a daughter-in-law."

"This Zuo Zixi is good..." Mrs. Min said thoughtfully, "It's a pity that the girl who marries him will have to be separated in the future."

"I think it's good to separate the two places, so as to avoid quarreling when the two of them are together for a long time." Min Yujia pursed her lips and said.

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Min laughed and said, "Whose nonsense is this?"

"Didn't the ancients say it all?" Min Yujia took his mother's arm and whispered: "If the two of them live together for a long time, how can they stay together day and night?"

"Daughter, what do you mean by this?" Mrs. Min lowered her head and asked her daughter.

"What are you two talking about?" Aunt Jiang's family drank two glasses of wine and came over in a daze, interrupting Mrs. Min's mother and daughter's words: "Don't keep restraint on Sister Yu. You see, she asked you to take care of it." You are so honest and pitiful, look at our girl Ning, she can eat and laugh every day, I am a rare person."

Aunt Jiang's personal mother hurriedly stepped forward to support Aunt Jiang and apologized to Mrs. Min: "Madam, please don't blame me. Our wife drank too much. I will help our wife go back to rest now."

"Go ahead and take good care of your wife." Mrs. Min smiled and waved her hand indifferently.

"Go, you go play with them. Mother has gone back to rest." Mrs. Min called Zuo Zixi, "Look after your brothers and sisters and don't let them sleep too late. There are guests coming tomorrow. .”

"Don't worry, Madam, we will disperse in a moment." Zuo Zixi said respectfully.

Min Yujia looked at her mother and felt that what she just said to her mother was all in vain.

"What's wrong?" Zuo Xiangning handed Min Yujia a piece of mutton handed over by her elder brother, "Are you tired?"

Min Yujia raised her eyes and glanced at Zuo Zixi opposite, then lowered her head and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are all busy, I can't help you either."

"If you like to eat, you are doing us a big favor." Zuo Zixi smiled and gave Min Yujia two more pieces of meat, "This is the meat from the lamb leg."

"Thank you, brother." Min Yujia thanked him and put the meat into his mouth like Zuo Xiangning.

Zuo Zixi watched her finish eating with a smile on his face, and then asked: "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious." Min Yujia nodded.

"Then you should eat more." Zuo Zixi put a piece of mutton chop on the stove, "You can try this later."

"Brother, let me bake it." Zuo Zimo stretched out his hand beside him and said with a smile: "My skills are also good."

"I'll bake this piece for them, and you can bake it again." Zuo Zixi skillfully sprinkled the seasonings evenly on the lamb chops, his movements as smooth as flowing water.

Min Yujia lowered her eyelids in a panic.

The next morning, Mrs. Min arrived at Min Yujia's room early and asked the girl to pick out the set of emerald green clothes for her daughter.

"Give your girl a peony bun on your head..." Mrs. Min stood up and walked to the dressing table. She took out a pair of butterfly-dotted emerald hairpins from the jewelry box, "Just wear this."

After Min Yujia finished dressing up, Mrs. Min applied a layer of rouge to her daughter's face. "What is mom doing?" Min Yujia asked in confusion.

"Girls from other provinces are here today, and my daughter cannot be compared with them." Mrs. Min took a step back, looked her daughter up and down, and said with a satisfied smile: "My daughter is pretty."

Min Yujia looked at her mother inexplicably.

Her mother never bothered to compare herself to others, so what happened today?
"Go and see if your sister Xiang Ning is up. You are older than her. Please help her entertain some guests today." Mrs. Min said again.

"Don't worry, daughter." Min Yujia smiled and went to Xiang Ning's room.

Mother Gui, who was next to Mrs. Min, reminded her in a low voice: "Today is a banquet held by Zuofu, and our girls are dressed up so well..."

"Didn't you hear what Jia'er said? The purpose of the Zuo family's banquet is to select a wife for the Zuo family's uncle. Even if our girl is not within the Zuo family's choice, she must not be overshadowed by others." Mrs. Min asked thoughtfully: " What do you think of Mr. Zuo?"

Gui's mother smiled and said, "Uncle Zuo is one of the most outstanding men I have ever seen."

Mrs. Min glared at Gui's mother, smiled and cursed: "How many people have you met?"

"I have followed my wife and met many young masters from the noble family. At least none of the young masters from our Min family can compare with the eldest son Zuo." Gui's mother said with a smile: "The eldest son Zuo is good at martial arts when he mounts a horse, and he is good at fighting when he dismounts. Nengwen is that... Confucian general, yes, I have said this word before, Confucian general is a rare general who can be both literary and military."

Mrs. Min laughed, "The older you get, the more you understand."

When Mrs. Min came out of the yard and saw Aunt Jiang's family, her attitude was a little more enthusiastic than yesterday. When she saw Mrs. Jiang, she basically stayed by her side and didn't move.

Mr. Jiang was also happy to be close to her. Aunt Jiang was a simple-minded person. She looked at the girls in the yard and secretly noticed who was more suitable for her son.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Min and Mrs. Jiang returned to the city with several girls who came to attend the banquet. Aunt Jiang's family and several children stayed in another courtyard for another night.

Zuo Xiangning took Min Yujia to a hot spring in the evening.

Min Yujia stood at the edge of the pool, not daring to go down, "What if someone comes in?"

"My girl is guarding outside the door. There are also my elder brother's guards outside the wall. What are you afraid of?" Zuo Xiangning soaked in the warm spring water in her middle coat and sighed comfortably, "Sister Min Come in, the water is really warm."

Min Yujia looked at the steaming pool, hesitated for a moment, and then jumped in. The splash of water made Zuo Xiangning's face melt.

Zuo Xiangning screamed and used her hands to stir up water on Min Yujia's body.

Min Yujia smiled and also poured water on her.

Zuo Zixi, who was standing not far outside the door, listened to the happy laughter of the girl inside, walked into the next room, opened the door, and drank tea.

This villa is excellent, quiet and comfortable, but there are too few people, which always makes people feel unsafe.

After half an hour, Zuo Xiangning and Min Yujia had not come out yet. Zuo Zimo hurried into the courtyard from outside. Seeing Bingyu and Panxia guarding the door, he shouted loudly to the inside: "Xiang Ning, it's one hour, it's almost time for you to come out, right?"

"Zimo, what are you in a hurry for?" Zuo Zixi came out of the room and waved to Zuo Zimo, "Come here and have a cup of tea."

"Brother, if you don't call Xiang Ning, she can soak for two hours." Zuo Zimo said: "It is not good to soak in the hot spring for too long, it is easy to faint in it."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Zuo Zixi brought Zuo Zimo into the room and heard Zuo Xiangning calling Panxia in the room next to her.

Another quarter of an hour later, Zuo Xiangning and Min Yujia walked out of the room with blushing faces.

Min Yujia raised her eyes to look at Zuo Zixi, and met his eyes looking at them, "Go back to the room quickly, be careful not to catch a cold."

Min Yujia felt his heart pounding and quickly lowered his head.
