The beauty of the lady

Chapter 92 Stepmother (2)
"Sister Mei, why don't you go down and play with them?" She was lying by the window, overlooking the bustling scene below.

Zhou Mei sat at the table, slowly picking the melon seeds, and there was already a small pile of nuts.

"I don't know those eldest ladies, and my status is a bit low. If they have such a high status, they don't necessarily want to pay attention to me. It's better not to make fun of yourself."

Xuan Qingwan hummed suspiciously, she didn't know if it was really what Sister Mei said, but it wasn't like she had never seen it before.

When she was at her own home, my mother would sometimes hold some tea parties and invite the wives of officials and officials in the prefecture to visit the mansion. Of course, the ladies who came here are not all very close, she understands this. of.

"Then sister Mei will go out sooner or later. Today is my uncle's birthday. Could it be that sister Mei is still missing?"

"Then wait a little later. The more people talk, the more mistakes they make." She lowered her eyebrows and smiled, then handed the small porcelain plate to Xuan Qingwan, "Eat it."

Seeing the melon seeds in the small dish, the little girl happily went on, thanked Zhou Mei, then turned her eyes to find Xuan Qingrong outside the building, and said with a smile: "Sister Rong will definitely be jealous of me. There are so many melon seeds."

"Eat less before meals. There must be a lot of delicious meals at noon, but don't have room in your stomach." Zhou Mei laughed.

The carved door was pushed open, and a cute boy in water-blue brocade came in, followed by a younger boy.

"Brother Tang, you're here." Xuan Qingwan greeted the two with a smile, "Brother Feng, you two come here, these are the melon seeds planted by Sister Mei, if you come later, I'll finish them all."

After finishing speaking, he pinched some of it with his fingers and put it in his mouth very simply.

When Xuan Shaofeng, the eldest son of the second bedroom, saw it, he hurried forward, grabbed a handful and sat next to her, twisted them one by one, put them in his mouth and refused carefully.

Zhou Mei called Zhou Tang to her side, smoothed his hair that was messed up by the wind, and took the comb from his head to smooth the five black hair hanging behind his head.

"Why are you here, aren't you playing with cousin Ling?"

"My cousin was chatting with many people in the front yard. I felt bored, so I brought Shao Feng to find my sister."

"Where are the parents?"

"Father was with the two uncles in front, and mother was with my uncle and grandmother in the Shouxi Hall. No one paid any attention to us." Zhou Tang thought it would be fun to come here, but it turned out that there was no place for them to play. They were all in a hurry, even in my cousin's yard, there were quite a few people gathered.

I can't get in their mouths in their conversation, so I don't like staying there.

"If you're bored, just sit here. There are a lot of people in the mansion today, so you don't have to worry about bumping into people here."

"Ok!"

Zhou Mei thought very well, so she sat with her younger brother in the lake building and waited for the lunch to start, and then went home after eating.

But obviously, there are always a few people around, and they don't want her to stay out of it.

"Cousin, why did you come here on your own?" Xuan Qingrong appeared with a few girls of the same age whimpering.

She sighed in her heart, as expected, it was really difficult to find a quiet place on a day like today.

"Why did you run here?"

Xuan Qingrong ran over, pulled Zhou Mei up and dragged her outside, "What is cousin doing here, it's very lively outside, let's go out and play together."

Today the little sister in the mansion is entertained by them, she is not very old, so the ladies who are close to Jiji are entertained by the first cousin and second cousin, but now the cousin is hiding here for a while, she is too good at enjoying herself.

"I won't go." She raised her hand and pinched Xuan Qingrong's tender face, seeing her playful grin, said with a smile: "Let's go out and play together."

"Don't let my cousin enjoy leisure here alone, let's go, come, sister Wan."

Xuan Qingwan looked at the several plates of delicious dried fruits and nuts in front of her, then looked at her cousin, thought for a while before shaking her head and said: "I'm not going, I still want to eat nuts."

Xuan Qingwan is eight years old this year, looking at her small body is quite chubby, she seems to have a good appetite, while Xuan Qingrong is also very keen on eating, but her figure is not round, but rather cute and cute.

They are also foodies. If she refuses with other reasons, maybe Xuan Qingrong will not give up, but because she wants to eat nuts, she is not reluctant. Then she dragged Zhou Mei down the stairs surrounded by a few little girls. Out of the Huxin Pavilion.

The garden of Duke Anguo's Mansion is also very beautiful, with rockery ring corridors and colorful flowers everywhere. Although it is not as large as the Zhoufu Garden, it is exquisite everywhere.

"Sister Mei, where did you hide and be lazy just now?" Xuan Qingyu covered her lips and smiled softly when she saw Zhou Mei who had been forcefully dragged by Xuan Qingrong, "Come and sit, this is Wu Anbo Mansion Miss Chu."

Zhou Mei stepped forward to meet Li, and then sat down beside the two of them.

"Sister Yu, this is..." Chu Wenyao saw Zhou Mei who suddenly appeared, and was attracted by her gentle and charming facial features. In her impression, there was no such woman in Beijing, otherwise, what would happen? Can hide.

Moreover, today is the old Duke's birthday, and all the people who come here are from the families of dignitaries and high-ranking officials in Beijing. If there is such a beautiful woman, it has already been spread among the circle of noble women.

Seeing that he was about the same age as himself, it was strange.

Xuan Qingyu poured hot tea for Zhou Mei, "This is my aunt's daughter. She just came to the capital this year. It's not surprising that sister Yao hasn't seen her before."

"So that's how it is." But Auntie, it is said that the old Duke has only one son and one daughter. If it is Aunt Yunyan, wouldn't there be only two sons?And Sister Yu has only one uncle, where is her aunt?

But even though she had doubts in her heart, she didn't ask them out. Since she has something to do with An Guogong's mansion, she won't neglect her, not to mention she is not the kind of person who wants to follow others.

"Miss Zhou, I'm 14 years old, don't I know sister Zhou Guigeng?"

"I am also 14 years old this year, and my birthday is in February." She laughed.

"Then I'll call you Sister Zhou, I'm born in May." Chu Wenyao narrowed her beautiful eyes and smiled softly.

"Okay!" In this way, she has recognized her sister and sister. If it is like this, there are really too many brothers and sisters to count.

"Sister Zhou... ah, so the original Wei Palace in the capital was changed to Zhou Mansion? Could it be that it is the mansion of Sister Zhou?" Chu Wenyao had a flash of inspiration, and an idea came to mind.

Xuan Qingyu was amused by her expression, and stuffed a candied apricot into her mouth, "Yes, yes."

Chu Wenyao's beautiful eyes lit up immediately, and she stared at Zhou Mei enthusiastically, "Sister Zhou, I have heard that Wei Wang's mansion is luxurious and luxurious since I was very young, especially the back garden is so beautiful, I wonder if I can wait for Sister Zhou's convenience to go to Playing at home?"
