Chapter 40

Mrs. Li secretly looked at Xu Xiaofu for a long time, suppressed the surprise in her heart, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xie is really bothering you. The flower viewing party will be held in three days. I went to talk to your mother-in-law just now, and she still talked about you I'm idle at home all day, and I can meet a few friends when I go to the flower viewing banquet... Don't worry, young lady, they are all ladies and ladies, and everyone is just chatting and enjoying the flowers..."

Xu Xiaofu thought for a while and then nodded, "I would like to thank Madam Li for her kindness. The ladies of the flower viewing banquet will definitely go." No matter what, she can't stay in the general's house for the rest of her life, and she will go out to meet other people High-ranking officials and dignitaries have to face it anyway, so it's better to take advantage of the flower viewing banquet three days later to meet those noble ladies and ladies face to face.

Mrs. Li covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Then wait for the young lady."

The two chatted a few more words leisurely, and then Mrs. Li got up to leave.Xu Xiaofu asked the camellia cuckoo standing next to him, "How is this Mrs. Li? Does this kind of banquet often be held in normal times? Who are the people going to?"

Camellia said: "This Mrs. Li is the wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. She has two sons and a daughter. Her daughter is a girl with many talents. She is only 15 years old now. Mrs. Li is not an elegant woman. She likes to hold such flower viewing banquets." It is to let the reputation of her daughter Li Weiwei spread so that she can find a good husband. On weekdays, the ladies who go there are all famous ladies and ladies from great families. On weekdays, such a banquet will be held once a month, Young Madam Do you really want to go in a few days?"

Xu Xiaofu nodded, "Of course I want to go, I can't stay in the General's Mansion forever."

Du Juan said: "No, but Ma'am, don't worry, you are General Xie's wife from beginning to end, and those people don't dare to chew their tongues."

After Xie Duanyue came back in the evening, Xu Xiaofu told Xie Duanyue about going to the flower feast, Xie Duanyue just said: "You can go if you want, if someone says something, don't be afraid of offending them, with me Carrying for you."

Xu Xiaofu's heart was full of warmth, and he showed a bright smile at Xie Duanyu.

Three days passed in a flash, Xu Xiaofu got up early in the morning, Shan Cha and Du Juan helped her comb her hair, and they wanted to help her put on makeup.Xu Xiaofu waved his hand, "Forget it, I'll just put on the makeup myself."

The camellia cuckoo retreated to the side.

Xu Xiaofu has always paid attention to his skin, insisted on diet therapy, and ate foods that are good for the skin.At this time, her skin was even more white and rosy. She just put on a thin layer of powder, applied a light rouge on her cheeks, and a light layer of lip balm on her lips, and finally raised her eyebrows. Something draws eyebrows.The eyebrows she drew are not the kind of thin willow-leaf eyebrows, they are a bit like the more popular one-line eyebrows in modern times, but they have been slightly changed to suit her current face shape.Finally, he drew the upper eyeliner with a thrush pen, raised it slightly, and immediately a different Xu Xiaofu appeared in the bronze mirror.

Her makeup is not the weak and delicate makeup that everyone's daughters have now, but a very energetic and delicate makeup.

Xu Xiaofu's facial features are pretty good, and with the right makeup like this, people can't take their eyes off.

Camellia Dujuan blinked and exclaimed, "Madam, you... you look so pretty."

Xu Xiaofu smiled and said, "Hurry up and find suitable clothes for me."

Camellia Rhododendron smiled, and found suitable clothes for Xu Xiaofu. With the right makeup and the right clothes, today's Xu Xiaofu made people unable to take their eyes off.After leaving the room, Xie Duanyu raised his head when he came to the hall next to him for dinner, and seeing the smiling woman, his heart beat fiercely, feeling like he was suffocating.

"General, am I this pretty?" Seeing Xie Duanyu, Xu Xiaofu couldn't help showing off his attire today, and leaned in front of Xie Duanyu with a smile.

Xie Duanyu felt that his ears felt a little hot, so he hummed unnaturally, "Madam is very beautiful today."

"Thank you for your exaggeration, General." Xu Xiaofu sat down happily, and ate an exquisite and delicious breakfast.For some reason, she always felt that General Xie's ears seemed a little red, and General Xie's eating posture was also a little stiff, which was strange...

After eating breakfast, Xie Duanyu hurriedly told Xu Xiaofu to go to the barracks and fled. He didn't know what he was running away from.

After Xu Xiaofu had breakfast, the coachman was already waiting outside the courtyard, he was taken aback when he saw Xu Xiaofu coming out, and even rubbed his eyes.Realizing that this action was inappropriate, he hurriedly stood up and said to Xu Xiaofu: "Madam, please get in the carriage, the general asked me to wait here early in the morning."

Xu Xiaofu got into the carriage, Shan Cha and Du Juan followed.

The carriage drove out of the General's Mansion all the way, walked on the bustling streets, and arrived at Li's Mansion after driving for less than half an hour.Xu Xiaofu got out of the carriage, Shan Cha and Du Juan also came down, they gave Mrs. Li's invitation to the boy at the door, the boy looked at the post, then at Xu Xiaofu, his eyes were full of shock.

Shan Cha said: "Brother, please go in and report that our young lady is here?"

The young man came back to his senses, "Ah, it's Mrs. Xie, there's no need to pass it on. The lady said that if the young lady comes, let the young lady invite the young lady in, and the young lady please follow the young lady."

The three of them entered Li's mansion with this young man, Li's mansion was no smaller than Xie's mansion, they walked for a long time before they came to a moon gate, the young man bowed to Xu Xiaofu, "Young Madam , please come in."

The three of them walked into the moon gate, and suddenly saw a large garden with various flowers, chrysanthemums, osmanthus, begonias, crocuses, crape myrtle, roses, rhododendrons, and narcissus.However, what stands out among them are the hundreds of pots of chrysanthemums, including some rare varieties.The whole garden is colorful and beautiful.

In the middle of the garden there is a large pavilion with many stone tables and benches. There are many cakes, fruits and drinks on the stone tables. The ladies and ladies are gathering in twos and threes, chatting, laughing and reciting poems.

Mrs. Li saw Xu Xiaofu standing by the door at a glance. She was taken aback, as if she couldn't believe it. It took a long time before she came back to her senses, and hurriedly greeted her, "It's Mrs. General, this... I dare not admit it anymore, the young lady is really beautiful today."

Xu Xiaofu said with a smile: "Madam Miao praised."

The shock in Mrs. Li's eyes has not subsided, she dragged Xu Xiaofu to the pavilion, "Everyone is curious about what the young lady looks like, and I just happened to introduce the young lady to everyone." When they arrived at the pavilion, the ladies and ladies in the pavilion looked at Xu Xiaofu curiously, guessing who she was.

When Xie Qingxue heard the commotion, she also raised her head and looked over. The moment she saw Xu Xiaofu, she thought she was dazzled, so she couldn't help rubbing her eyes.After a long while, she was sure that the beautiful woman in front of her was her abandoned wife and sister-in-law.

"How is it possible..." Xie Qingxue muttered to herself.

The good friend Lu Shan next to her pushed the dazed Xie Qingxue, and said with a smile, "Qingxue, what's wrong with you? Don't say you know the beauty Mrs. Li brought in."

Xie Qingxue smiled wryly, looked up at Xu Xiaofu who was walking over, "I really know her... she is the woman my eldest brother just married..."

Lu Shan's eyes widened, "Qingxue, don't play tricks on me, she... how could she be the abandoned woman that everyone has been rumoring about? No... Didn't you say she looks ugly?"

"How do I know!" Xie Qingxue was a little annoyed, "What's the use of being good-looking, she's not an abandoned woman who doesn't know anything, I'll see what she will do later!"

Mrs. Li had already pulled Xu Xiaofu to the center of the pavilion, clapped her hands, and attracted everyone's attention, then smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, haven't you always wondered what General Xie's wife looks like? Today Fortunately, Madam Xie was invited..."

Surprised voices rang out, "She is Mrs. Xie? How is it possible? Didn't it mean..."

"Madam Li, please don't fool us..."

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "How could I fool everyone? This is the wife of General Xie. Mrs. Xie, this is Mrs. Zhang, the wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and this is Mrs. Ma, the wife of Yushi Zhongcheng. This is Mrs. Cao Yuer, the second young lady of Taichang Shaoqing's family, this is..."

Mrs. Li quickly pointed out all the ladies and ladies in the pavilion to Xu Xiaofu, but unfortunately Xu Xiaofu didn't remember any of them, he just nodded and smiled at them.

After identifying people, Xu Xiaofu didn't know anyone. The only sister-in-law she knew, Xie Qingxue, looked at her vigorously. She definitely wouldn't talk to her. Tea.

Xu Xiaofu pretended not to hear the whispers coming from around.It's just that someone didn't want her to be happy, so a slightly shrill voice came into Xu Xiaofu's ears, "I really thought that I could become a phoenix by flying on a branch, but a sparrow is always a sparrow, let alone an abandoned woman who has the face to show her face." It's embarrassing for General Xie, I really don't know how General Xie let her out!"

When Xu Xiaofu looked up, he saw a face covered with thick makeup. It was a very young face with round eyes. Unfortunately, the cheekbones were too high, and the whole person looked a bit mean.At this moment the girl was staring at her in a pale yellow dress.

Xu Xiaofu couldn't remember the girl's name, so he looked back at Shancha, Shancha whispered in her ear: "This is Miss Liu Qing'er, daughter of Shangzhou Governor Liu's family."

Xu Xiaofu looked at Liu Qing'er with a groan, and said with a smile: "Miss Liu is fighting for my general? Are you angry at the general for marrying an abandoned woman like me? Or angry at yourself for not being the one to change the general's life? Maybe it's because you are angry that you didn't marry the general? Or because the general's order to keep his wife has been broken, you want to get along with him?"

Speaking these words in front of a large audience, Liu Qing'er blushed with shame, and screamed angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! You... how could your general marry a woman like you."

Xu Xiaofu sighed, "So what about a woman like me, it's a pity, but the general's destined woman is me, and that's the one you can't even envy."

Xu was taken into consideration by others, Liu Qing'er's face turned ugly, suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "I really think I am General Xie's wife, what kind of character is General Xie, how can you be worthy of it?" He, why do you think Mrs. Xie wanted to take over her niece? Naturally, she kept it for General Xie. You can’t even match Miss Shen’s hair. Just wait, General Xie will divorce you sooner or later. To marry Miss Shen."

Xu Xiaofu said indifferently: "So what? I am the general's bedside person now, as for you, I'm afraid you won't even be able to touch the hem of the general's clothes in this life, and I don't know why you are so proud."

Xu Qing'er's face changed, and she was about to say something, but Mrs. Li had already walked over and stopped the two of them, "Okay, okay, this one is here to enjoy the flowers, don't say that these are all gone, You guys, don't be afraid to spoil everyone's interest in looking at flowers... The weather is nice today, and the flowers are very charming, why don't you come and play a game, how about a poem or word about chrysanthemums?"
