Although the garden of the Song family is not as big as the Duke of Liang's palace, it is not too small for a wealthy family.
Li Sanniang led Luzhu'er and Qiuxiang, followed Sister-in-law Gao and Gao Yahui, and were led to the pavilion in the garden by the maid. There were already several people sitting in groups inside.
Walking along this way, Li Sanniang could tell that the Song family was wealthy. If the flowers placed under the corridor were to be sold outside, they would probably cost more than ten miles per pot. The money has come.
Not to mention that once you enter the garden, it is really colorful and the flowers are blooming.
All kinds of red, yellow, and purple chrysanthemums, as well as some flowers that Li Sanniang couldn’t name, are in bloom.
At least Li Sanniang and Lu Zhuer really thought it looked good, and their eyes were really blessed along the way.
However, as the sun gradually rose, so did the heat. When they arrived at the pavilion, the five of them found a small place with few people around and sat down directly.
As soon as I sat down, the maid of the Song family who had been standing by her was quite discerning. At that moment, she approached lightly from the side, picked up the teacup from the small table, and poured it for each of Li Sanniang and the others. Here comes a drink.
Yes, it is a drink, not a tea soup.
Li Sanniang raised the cup and saw that there was still a trace of red residue in the drink, and smelled the aroma of honey.
"It's Roselle soaked in honey. It smells fragrant and sweet."
Sister-in-law Gao nodded, picked up a glass and took a few sips. Along the way, she was basking in the sun. , but I am really thirsty.
Li Sanniang watched Lu Zhuer drink more than half of the cup before putting down the cup. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the water-stained corners of her mouth. Lu Zhuer raised her head and smiled at Li Sanniang with her big eyes.
“Dewdrop, is it delicious?”
“It tastes good, grandma, it’s sweet. Grandma, drink it.”
Lu Zhuer said this to Li Sanniang while nodding.
Indeed, although white sugar has long been available at this time, the sweetness of honey and the sweetness extracted from sugar cane are still different in flavor.
While a few people were sitting here, maids kept leading visitors to the pavilion. This time, they actually met the Qian family's wife and Qian Xiaolang.
“Doctor Li!”
Ms. Qian really didn’t expect to meet Li Sanniang here. Qian Xiaolang wouldn’t think about why he met Li Sanniang and Lu Zhuer. He only had The joy of meeting Dewdrop comes.
"Luzhu'er!"
Of course Lu Zhu'er has an impression of Qian Xiaolang. After all, Lu Zhu'er once followed Li Sanniang to Qian's house for dinner. At that time, she even took a wooden toy that Li Sanniang bought for her. He came out as a gift to Qian Xiaolanglai, who was born that day.
The children were very happy to see each other. After the two got permission, a woman and a maid from Mrs. Qian's family followed them to the garden.
Although Li Sanniang is not very relieved, she just asked Sister-in-law Gao and estimated that she should be seated in two quarters of an hour, so that Lu Zhuer and Qian Xiaolang can also play in the garden for a while. Just a clock.
In this way, Li Sanniang felt relieved and let Lu Zhuer follow Qian Xiaolang to play in the garden.
Li Sanniang thought that nothing surprising would happen in these short two-quarters of an hour, but she didn't expect that she had just sat down with Mrs. Qian to say a few words, and after chatting about domestic matters, A group of people came hurriedly from the other end of the corridor connecting the pavilion.
Before anyone approached, Li Sanniang’s eyesight had already seen clearly who it was.
Song Zhenzhu quickened her pace and walked towards where Li Sanniang and the others were sitting. The two maids following Song Zhenzhu were sweating on their foreheads because they were so anxious and walked so fast. Song Zhenzhen is the host, and everyone is a guest. When the host arrives, how can the guests not stand up to show respect.
So, everyone present who knew Song Pearl stood up from their seats. Those who were looking at the scenery but did not see Song Pearl were also reminded by the servants around them. body.
Apart from Xu Jingzhen, Song Zhenzhu was a well-educated noblewoman who had been well taught by Mrs. Song.
So, she stood still and bowed to everyone present, and then said gracefully: "The banquet will start in two quarters of an hour, you can rest here."
After that, she He bowed again and then walked towards where Li Sanniang was.
The ladies then realized that Song Pearl came to the pavilion not to ask the female guests for anything, but to find someone for personal matters.
A woman in a yellow skirt saw Song Pearl going to find Li Sanniang, so she asked the woman beside her in a strange voice: "Sister Qing, do you know who those people are over there?< br>
How did Miss Song find it?
Who are the in-laws of the Song family over there? ”
The woman called Sister Qing is older than the girls sitting around her. There are obvious wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She looks like she is thirty-seven or eighteen years old. , the clothes she wears are very solemn, unlike the women around her who wear gauze or thin and breathable skirts that expose a large area of skin in this hot weather
Sister Qing. She was wearing a cross-collar top that only exposed her neck. The material looked good, but no matter how good the material was, it was still hot even though it was covered tightly.
Sister Qing went to Li Sanniang. After taking a look, he turned around and said to the questioner calmly: "The red dress is about the daughter-in-law of the eldest family member of the Gao family. The younger girl next to her should be her sister-in-law, that is, the daughter-in-law of the Gao family." The little lady of the big house;
The person wearing a blue shirt next to her is the wife of the second wife of the Qian family.
On the other hand, I have never seen the woman next to them, so I don’t know which family she is from. "
"Hey, you are not even an in-law of the Song family.
Who is this woman? "
The girl in a peach-pink skirt who had been standing in the corridor came over. She first glanced at Li Sanniang, then turned her head and whispered to everyone: "A close in-law of the Song family. They were all sitting in the main hall and side hall in the back yard. They were not led to this small pavilion like us. ”
Before anyone could respond to the girl in the pink skirt, Li Sanniang stood up a dozen steps away from everyone, looking as if she was going to follow Song Pearl.
However, Li Sanniang and Song Zhenzhu walked to the intersection of the corridor leading to Huayuanzi and stopped again. After waiting for a while, they saw Luzhu'er being held by the Qian family's mother-in-law. Qian Xiaolang, who was also being held by the maid of the Qian family, walked over quickly.
Li Sanniang stepped forward and took the dewdrops on her little face that were a little red from the sun. She thanked the woman, then she held the dewdrops behind her and stood up to pick them up. Mrs. Qian, her husband, and Mrs. Gao and Gao Yahui, who looked over with some anxious and worried eyes, lowered their heads and said, "Thank you so much, Mrs. Qian's wife. I'll come as soon as I go. I'll wait until the banquet is over. I'll talk to you later." Everyone, let’s talk nicely.”
After saying that, Li Sanniang turned around and nodded to Song Pearl, who was leading the way. Li Sanniang held Lu Zhuer and Qiuxiang and followed Song Pearl’s pace, also walking quickly. rise.
In just a few breaths, Gao Yahui, who was standing in the corridor, could no longer see Li Sanniang.
Sitting down again, Sister-in-law Gao looked at Gao Yahui's worried look and had to wave her to sit down on the chair in the corridor. "Looking at the look of the young lady of the Song family, there must be something urgent. Since it is urgent, what are you doing?" There is no point in worrying here.
And I just heard what Dr. Li said. We will see each other later when the banquet is held.
If we don’t see Dr. Li by then, we will go there again. Just go to the Song family to ask for someone. "
My dear children, it’s Father’s Day tomorrow~
To be honest, among my parents, I love my mother more, she is the best~
