Hello Chang'an Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Too beautiful to be reasonable (1st update)

On the carriage going to Duke Zheng's mansion, Xi'er couldn't help but look at the new female envoy beside her frequently.

This female envoy named A Zhi was temporarily arranged by the general. She seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but it was said that she had some skills. She would not arouse suspicion by following the girl, and she could protect her at the same time.

Xi'er was very worried about this and struggled a lot in her heart.

Chang Sui Ning took this time to look at the flower party list in his hand, which Chang Kuo secretly collected. All of them were people who had received invitations to the flower party.

Some are people she recognizes, while others are newbies. When she meets someone worth knowing, she will casually ask them a question.

Xi'er would always answer enthusiastically, and in the end when she saw her girl casually clicking on which line of her name, she immediately said: "...this maid knows it too!"

It actually made Chang Sui Ning experience the joy of not knowing where to click.

During such questions and answers, Zheng Guogong's mansion soon arrived.

The flower-viewing banquet was held in the garden of Zheng Guogong's mansion.

Duke Zheng and Wei Qin liked the beauty of blooming flowers and especially loved flowers and plants. There was a rumor in Beijing that the Duke of Zheng's mansion occupied an area of 23 acres, with one out of four rooms, and the rest were filled with flowers and plants. Others said that there was a garden in the mansion, and he was A mansion was built in the garden.

In this huge garden, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants can be seen everywhere. Although it is only early spring, they are already colorful and colorful.

"How come this pot of red stone has been moved out? If we bump into it, the Duke will make a fuss!" In Wei's home, a servant looked at the pot of rare stone, which was the only one in the capital, and was frightened.

"My wife asked me to move it... My wife said that the flowers are already blooming. If you don't put them out for people to see, they will bloom in vain. How can flowers bloom when no one sees them?"

"Does the Duke know about this?"

"The Duke went out early in the morning and locked the courtyard door before leaving. Madam specially ordered us to climb over the wall and move these things out..."

"I know..." The servants looked at the hard-to-find flowers and plants, and became more and more frightened. Seeing the ladies coming up to look at them, they were afraid that one of them would grab a flower carelessly - if they were caught, the Duke would be It's time to grab their heads when they come back!

Today, my wife has given extra wages to everyone who comes to the garden as an errand. Because of this, it becomes more and more obvious that they are indeed licking blood on the tip of a knife.

While the servants of the Wei family were all working conscientiously, all the female guests were looking at the same place.

At the same time, there was a din of conversation.

Some servants followed and looked over, and saw that where everyone's attention was focused was a young girl who had just appeared in the garden and was walking towards here.

Spring is brilliant, and the girl is also at the age of romance, but her face is more eye-catching than the spring scenery in the garden, just like the red stone peony that has just bloomed, clean and delicate.

The expression of her eyebrows and eyes is a bit cold, and there is a bit of unclear heroic beauty that does not seem to belong to that face. Mixed together, it feels a bit chaotic, making her beautiful and even domineering. People dare not look directly, but they cannot ignore it.

Where little girls gather, it is inevitable to compare clothes and jewelry, but at this moment, everyone seems to not be able to see or care about each other's clothes.

"Who is that? How come I have never seen it before..."

"Are they the family members of officials who have just moved to the capital?"

"Sister Wei, you should know who it is, right?" The little girls surrounding a girl in purple asked quietly.

The girl in purple is none other than Wei Miaoqing, the legitimate daughter of Duke Zheng.

The girl with the word "Exquisite" written on her from head to toe reluctantly looked away from her face, feeling a sudden sense of crisis in her heart. She whispered to the woman next to her: "...Manager Fang, within half a quarter of an hour, I want to know everything about this person." The details!”

The mother-in-law responded seriously and returned in less than half a quarter of an hour. She whispered back: "Girl, I have found out clearly. She is the young lady from General Chang's residence in Xingningfang. Her name is Chang Sui Ning. She just got hairpins last year. She likes it." Poetry, timid and weak, not good at socializing with others, only one brother in the family, he usually likes to wear light colors..."

"Chang Sui Ning?!" Wei Miaoqing suddenly interrupted the mother-in-law's words and said in shock: "She is Chang Sui Ning?!"

Chang Sui Ning, who became known as the most beautiful woman just because she went out last year to get some incense?

She thought that her father had often told her since she was a child that her mother, Mrs. Duan, the Duke of Zheng, was the most beautiful woman in the capital, and she had just taken over her mother's appearance. When she grew up, she would definitely become a girl. I took over this name from my mother—

She was so full of expectations when she reached the age of fifteen and had her first hair. She was just waiting for the hairpin ceremony to be over and was about to become famous in the capital. Who would have thought that at this critical moment, Chang Sui Ning suddenly turned out to be born! How could she be willing to do this?

Fortunately, her mother told her that it was just rumors from outsiders and there was no basis for it.

That's right, it's nothing more than alarmist talk, and it's just meant to trick people who have never seen it.

However at this time...

Wei Miaoqing's eyes were so red that they were bleeding. She said she was jealous, but it was more like she felt strange and puzzled -

"Manager Fang, did you see it? How could someone...how could someone..." Wei Miaoqing took a few steps aside, then took a closer look at the girl's profile, and almost fell down in anger: "...How could someone look like this? It's so unreasonable!”

They are both human beings, isn't this outrageous!

This is really unreasonable!

I just want to ask, Empress Nuwa, is your conscience okay?

The housekeeper glanced at the ladies around her and reminded her in a low voice: "Girls, think twice before you speak..."

The handkerchief in Wei Miaoqing's hand was about to be torn: "I've thought about it three times and four times!"

It was at this time that the girl she was staring at turned her head slightly, looked at her, and even took a few steps towards her.

Wei Miaoqing immediately adjusted his demeanor and tried his best to show the proper attitude of his master.

Looking at the little girl trying to look dignified, Chang Sui Ning smiled slightly.

This was the first time she had seen this little girl, but her face looked exactly like Duan Zhenyi's when she was a child, so it was not difficult to guess her identity.

Seeing Chang Suining smiling at him, Wei Miaoqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and gave a decent smile in response: "This is the first time Madam Chang comes back, please feel free to walk around without restraint."

Looking at the little girl who looked like a pretty and proud peacock in the crowd, Chang Suining felt that she was innocent and cute. She subconsciously tilted her head slightly and smiled: "Thank you very much."

Wei Miaoqing felt a flash in front of her eyes: "...!"

She took advantage of the opportunity of her friend to talk to her, turned around and no longer looked at that unreasonable face, and murmured in her heart - it didn't look like she was timid and unsociable... Damn it, this is what makes the co-authorship rumor so unbelievable!

"Look, the Cui family is here." A girl whispered.

Due to their status, the Cui family attracts attention wherever they appear.

Cui Tang came over with several cousins and the wife of Cui's second wife.

Cui Langzi is also here, but although it is a flower party, it is just for fun, but you must pay attention to some etiquette between men and women.

You can see at a glance in the garden that men are on the right and women are mostly on the left. They are separated by small bridges over winding water or scenery of bamboos and rocks. When entering the garden, no one needs to remind them where to go. They all see the tacit understanding in their eyes.

And because the scene in the middle does not block the view very much, this flower party has always been a good occasion for ladies from various houses and their younger members of the family to see each other quietly.

It was done many years ago and has resulted in many good marriages.

Mentioning this, Mrs. Duan, Mrs. Zheng Guogong, could not help but gnash her teeth - of course there were many others who had done it, but she was the one who always played the opposite tune!

But recently, Duan had a rare and unusual smell from her son.

This is mainly due to the servant girl who returned from Hezhou, and secondly to Changji -

Come on, come on, give me two cents first!
