Chapter 55
"My sister is being polite. After all, not all of us here have read books, and even if they have read, they may not all be good at piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

As soon as Shen Yunlan finished speaking, a girl came up, took her hand, and said with a smile.

Looking along the hand, she was a girl with fair complexion and big eyes. She recalled the introduction of her cousin Ji Yun just now, and knew that this was Guo Qiongyu, a girl from the Guo family. She was not only a relative of their Shen family, but also a good friend of her cousin Ji Yun.

If someone else said this sentence, maybe the girl just now had something to say, but when Guo Qiongyu opened her mouth, the girl closed her mouth and let herself retreat into the crowd.

Apart from the three sisters of the Shen family, who did not know that Guo Qiongyu was a talented woman?
Although she is only in her teens, the books she has read would take many rooms to hold.

The articles she wrote were praised even by the old scholars in government schools, but unfortunately, she couldn't understand everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the words she wrote could barely be recognized.

However, she is practicing calligraphy recently, and as for what she will be able to practice in the future, she still doesn't know.

With the girl just now as an example, no one else came over to ask some uninteresting questions.

As the host, since Ji Yun has invited everyone, he is naturally responsible for entertaining them.

"Don't stand still, sit down quickly, let's drink some hot tea first, and then follow me to the garden to enjoy the flowers."

In the mansion of the Marquis of Anyang, there is a large plum garden, which was built by the Marquis of Anyang for his wife. It is said that many trees in the garden were planted by the Marquis of Anyang himself.

If there is a plum garden with the best view in Shangdu, apart from the one in the imperial palace, that is the Anyang Marquis Mansion.

Today is a flower viewing party. On the one hand, Ji Yun has already made an appointment, so he will inevitably walk around in this circle in the future. Whether it is a good relationship or a bad relationship, he has to maintain it.

Holding a flower viewing party can always play a role.

But those who have no deep hatred will go to the banquet after being invited, after all, they also need to maintain relationships with other people.

In the future, the girls are all engaged, and they know each other's in-laws' families, and they will know which one should be closer and which one should be farther away.

In addition, there is also Da Cui's advice. Since she already knows that her younger sister brought the girls back to her natal family, these girls will sooner or later integrate into this circle.

According to the Shen family's status in the aristocratic family, the only people they can make friends with are second-rate aristocratic families or even lower-rate families. In this way, it will have an impact on the future of the girls.

After all, their family is the Hou's Mansion, and the daughter has decided to be the son of the Marquis of Jinyang. Coupled with the influence of the Cui family in the aristocratic family, the girls should have a better future.

A flower viewing banquet is held in the Hou Mansion, and the daughter will introduce the girls to other noble girls. It is not necessary to get close to each other, at least there will be good friends.

This can be regarded as one of the shortcuts to help them integrate into this circle.

Although Da Cui and Ji Yun didn't explain this arrangement, the reborn Yunlan and Yunjin sisters both understood.

After Ji Yun finished speaking, the girls sat back to their seats one after another. Ji Yun took the three sisters and sat on the seats that had been arranged earlier.

Apart from Ji Yun and the noble girls invited by Ji Yun, the concubines of the Anyang Marquis Mansion were also in the house.

Da Cui, as the mistress of the family, said nothing in the mansion. As the eldest daughter of the concubine, Ji Yun was the concubine's sister, which made them very awed.

Looking at those concubines, Shen Yunjie couldn't help feeling in her heart that although she was also a concubine, she lived a more comfortable life than these concubines who were born in the Hou's mansion.

After sitting down, the girls chatted in twos and threes.

"Did your family receive the letter from Dongdu?" Guo Qiongyu poked her head over and asked about the Yunlan sisters.

"I received it on New Year's Eve. After the year, when my uncle has settled down, their family will come back to Shangdu."

Since the long house sent a letter home, the eldest aunt would also send someone to deliver the letter to the Guo family.

For Shen Yunlan, this was the first time she saw Guo Qiongyu, but Shen Yunjie and Shen Yunjin saw her somewhat familiarly.

After all, Guo Qiongyu and Guo Qionglin had both been to the Shen family to play, so they had naturally seen the children of the Shen family.

But it was all a few years ago, so it's normal to be unfamiliar now.

"When my aunt comes back, I will visit the house again. I don't know if I haven't seen you in the past few years. What happened to Cousin Yunru and Cousin Yunyao?"

We used to play together when we were young, although we haven't seen each other for several years, we still have correspondence with each other.

After sitting for a while, Ji Yun greeted someone and asked, then stood up and invited the girls to enjoy the flowers in the plum garden.

The arranged yard is very close to the Plum Garden, and it takes a short walk to get there.

The girls knew that they would come out to enjoy the flowers, and all of them were dressed warmly, either holding Tang Pozi, or holding a hand stove.

Entering the plum garden, many girls exclaimed when they saw the plum blossoms in full bloom in the garden.

Another servant in the garden picked some plum blossoms and sent them to the kitchen to make some plum blossom-related food.

"It's so beautiful!" Shen Yunjie couldn't help admiring, Shen Yunlan also felt that his eyes were not enough, Shen Yunjin had a faint smile on his lips, people always feel happy when they see something pleasing to the eye.

The girls dispersed in twos and threes, and each went to the garden. Some asked Ji Yun for advice, and even hung flower sticks on the branches.

"Sister, look quickly, this plum tree is so strange! The flowers on this side are still red, but the other side has turned pink!" Pulling Shen Yunjin, Shen Yunlan shared her new discovery.

Shen Yunjie followed behind them and couldn't help praising them.

"This is a double-color plum. If you go further there, there are still a few green plum blossoms! There were more in the past. I heard from my grandmother that after the death of my great-grandfather and my great-grandmother, those flowers seemed to be able to sense it, and many of them withered. .”

Ji Yun was also nearby, and when he heard Shen Yunlan's voice, he brought people over and explained to them.

"So that's it." The three sisters nodded, Shen Yunlan and Shen Yunjin looked at each other, and saluted Ji Yun together, "I haven't thanked my cousin yet, and invited us to the flower viewing feast."

When the two sisters said this, Ji Yun blinked, "How do you say that? It's just to look at the plum blossoms, and then eat something."

"These are superficial, but the inner meaning, we all understand, now I thank my cousin first, and I will thank my aunt later."

Ji Yun laughed, his face was full of joy, obviously because the sisters understood the meaning and felt happy.

Suddenly, her eyes froze, she stretched out her hand and pushed Shen Yunlan, Shen Yunlan was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

At the same time, an arrow landed where Shen Yunlan was standing just now.

If Ji Yun hadn't pushed her away, I'm afraid this arrow would hurt her...
