The beauty of the lady

Chapter 123 Secret (2)
"Mrs. Zhao, you are here. My mother has been nagging in the morning, saying that you don't know when you will come today. Several younger sisters are also here, hurry up and invite them inside."

The person who was waiting at the door was the Madam of the Marquis of Yiyang. According to what Mrs. Lu told Zhou Mei yesterday, she is the niece of Madam Yiyang's natal family. She looks very good. As for her personality, she is not very clear. up.

Mrs. Sun said a few words to her briefly, and a woman next to her led them to the courtyard. As for Zhao Chengfei, he was led by a servant to the place where male guests were entertained.

The Yiyang Marquis Mansion is a little simpler than the Chengbei Marquis Mansion. After all, it is not as good as the noble Zhao family for generations, but it is also elegant.

Today's Yiyang Hou's Mansion is obviously specially arranged for this flower viewing banquet. Along the way, there is a faint inexplicable fragrance of flowers in the air. There are many potted cyclamen in the yard, mixed with Some crab claw lotuses are blooming very well.

When the group was led into a very spacious warm pavilion, there were already three or five richly dressed ladies and several gorgeously dressed ladies inside.

"Sister Zhao, you are here. Hurry up and sit down. Don't worry about the girls. You can drink tea and eat snacks together. You are free to do so." Mrs. Yiyanghou, who was at the head, stepped forward and pulled Sun's Sit in the seat next to you. Fortunately, there is no so-called who goes up and who gets off when the soft chairs are placed, which also avoids comparing the ladies with each other.

Mrs. Sun greeted each other with the wives in front of her respectively, then sat down, and said with a smile to her, "It's been more than half a year since you held a flower viewing banquet last time, when I came in just now, I saw the cyclamen outside It blooms very well, it seems that you are really talented in cultivating flowers."

Mrs. Yu nodded with a smile: "I just fiddled with it a few times, my daughter-in-law likes it, and there is nothing to enjoy now, but today I risked losing face, and invited all the sisters to come to the mansion. "

A lady sitting next to her smiled at Mrs. Sun: "Mrs. Zhao, is that young lady the Zhou family's girl?"

Sun followed her gaze and said Zhou Mei: "Yes, that's my granddaughter, sister Mei. This is the first time I've brought her out to a banquet. If there's anything wrong, I hope Please forgive me, sisters."

"No, she looks like a good girl, and Mrs. Zhao is a blessed person."

"I made Mrs. Han laugh." This is the lady who walks in Lord Han's house before the imperial court. She is deeply loved by the little emperor and also serves as the little emperor's martial arts master, although she is only one of them.

"Ms. Zhao is too modest. Miss Biao is very beautiful and has good manners."

Here, Zhou Mei sat quietly on a soft chair after she came in. There were two girls playing chess next to her. Fu's daughter Wei Mingzhu.

"Can sister Zhou also play chess?" Yu Huazhen asked with a smile.

She nodded slightly, and replied with a smile: "I know a little bit, my mother taught me."

After finishing speaking, Yu Huazhen was very happy, raised her head and said to Wei Mingzhu who was opposite her, "Sister Mingzhu, you see I am five pieces behind in this game of chess, and I really can't turn the tide. Why don't you let sister Zhou do it for you?"

Taifu Wei is the emperor's teacher. Although the emperor is not yet in charge, he spends most of his time learning how to govern the country with Taifu. He also teaches chess and calligraphy. As the youngest daughter of Taifu Wei, Wei Mingzhu's achievements are not low. , as of now, Wei Mingzhu wants to make it so much that he is only barely behind the five sons.

Hearing this, Wei Mingzhu turned her head to look at Zhou Mei, who was staring at the chessboard in rapt attention, and nodded without necessity.

Seeing that she agreed, Yu Huazhen stood up, pulled Zhou Mei to sit in her seat, and said to her, "Sister Zhou, it's your turn to be the sunspot now."

Zhou Mei nodded, and her beautiful slender pink fingers picked up a black stone and landed it on the chessboard. Because it was just an inadvertent one, Wei Mingzhu didn't pay much attention to it at the beginning, but following the coming and going, it was Make her pay more attention.

The earnest expressions of the three girls attracted the ladies in the surrounding boudoir to gather around and watch. Seeing that the chessboard was about to be settled, Wei Mingzhu finally raised her head with a long sigh of relief, and the white piece in her hand was released immediately because of the release of her fingers. Fall into the chess jar.

She frowned slightly, looked at Zhou Mei with displeasure and said, "Sister Zhou, are you letting me go? This is not good."

"No, sister Mingzhu is also very skilled in chess, so I just want to win one and a half pieces." Zhou Mei replied softly.

Wei Mingzhu gracefully cleaned up the white pieces on the chessboard in front of her, "No way, I'm not a beginner, obviously it's Sister Zhou who apologized. Is Sister Zhou living in Chengbeihou Mansion now?"

"Yes!"

"Then can I go to the Hou Mansion to play chess with Sister Zhou? Or Sister Zhou can go to Taifu's Mansion. In the mansion, only my elder brother is better at chess than me. I believe Sister Zhou will vent her anger on me. "Usually whenever she is mischievous, the eldest brother will always pull her to play chess. In fact, it doesn't matter. She likes it very much anyway. The bad thing is that every time she loses, the eldest brother will always ask her to copy the women's rules, and once she loses, she will copy it again." , It was too painful, she never won at all.

"If it's convenient for Sister Mingzhu, it's okay." She didn't expect that the little girl won a game of chess, and the little girl didn't get angry, which shows that she has a good heart.

Yu Huazhen smiled and said, "Sister Zhou is still the best. Mingzhu's chess skills here are the best. I didn't expect you to win even when you were behind five pieces. It's really amazing."

"Miss Yu won the award. It's just a fluke." In fact, she really wanted to admit generously that this kind of push and push talk was really tiring.

Looking at the friendly scene in front of her, Zhao Ruolan felt terribly disgusted in her heart. She is obviously a lowly person, but she always likes to show off.

It's just that there are so many people in the warm pavilion now, but she can't say something rude no matter what, otherwise her reputation will be ruined.

Just as he was talking, a girl's voice came from outside: "Mrs. Dingguo is here."

Then the bead curtain was lifted, and before Zhou Mei could react, a little girl quickly threw herself into her arms.

"Sister Zhou, I'm here, do you miss me?"

Zhou Mei looked at Yen Zimeng in her arms, and before she could speak, the little girl in her arms was pulled away.

"Meng'er, how could you be so rude in front of so many wives?"

Yen Zimeng looked back at the beautiful woman behind her, pouted her mouth and stomped her feet in displeasure, then walked up to the ladies and bowed, then turned around and held Zhou Mei's hand tightly.

"Sister, this is the sister Zhou I told you about, isn't she beautiful?"
